Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Newsom's Diaper Dollars & Dirty Deals plus AOC’s Insane 1776 Billionaire Claim
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: As straightforward as securing the border seemed to be once
- 0:04Speaker 1: you got into office, it almost implies that another president
- 0:08Speaker 1: could reverse it as quickly. Is there any way to
- 0:10Speaker 1: protect against that in the future?
- 0:12Speaker 2: Vote Republicans. You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update
- 0:17Speaker 2: with Ben ferguson.
- 0:19Speaker 3: Good Monday morning. Nice to have you with us from
- 0:20Speaker 3: the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got two big
- 0:23Speaker 3: stories for you. First up, corruption being exposed, this time
- 0:27Speaker 3: through diaper kickbacks in California. So how to Gavin Newsom
- 0:32Speaker 3: try to get away with this one? And it involves
- 0:34Speaker 3: your tax dollars. Also, AOC is now coming out and
- 0:38Speaker 3: saying she doesn't believe that anyone can actually become a
- 0:42Speaker 3: billionaire legitimately in this country, as she's now opened a
- 0:46Speaker 3: new war on any American that's successful. She's blaming Donald Trump.
- 0:51Speaker 3: It's a forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Story number one.
- 0:56Speaker 3: So if you ever wonder just how corrupt Democratic Party
- 1:01Speaker 3: could be, how corrupt could it be to take your
- 1:04Speaker 3: tax dollars and use it for different projects to hook
- 1:08Speaker 3: up your friends? Is there anything that Democrats won't do
- 1:14Speaker 3: to make a buck? I asked this question because Gavin Newsom,
- 1:18Speaker 3: the guy who's the front runner for the Democratic Party
- 1:20Speaker 3: for the presidency. Well, there's a new report out that
- 1:24Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom figured out a way to have twenty million
- 1:27Speaker 3: dollar diaper deal work with a sweetheart relationship, all using
- 1:33Speaker 3: taxpayers dollars. Now, they're just diapers, right, But even Democrats
- 1:39Speaker 3: to figure out a way to corrupt diapers. They have
- 1:42Speaker 3: now landed the California governor into a no pun intended
- 1:47Speaker 3: messy accusations of corruption for dumping twenty million and taxpayer
- 1:53Speaker 3: money into a non profit led by an executive who
- 1:58Speaker 3: sits on the board of his wife's own organization. Some
- 2:03Speaker 3: would refer to this as a massive kickback. Now, the
- 2:08Speaker 3: initiative was called the Golden State Start, which would provide
- 2:14Speaker 3: they claim free diapers. By the way, there's no such
- 2:17Speaker 3: thing as free diapers. Somebody's got to pay for him.
- 2:19Speaker 3: And well that just as the taxpayers at this point
- 2:21Speaker 3: right to newborns and hospitals throughout the state. It also
- 2:26Speaker 3: was a big debut ahead of Sunday's Mother's Day. It's
- 2:30Speaker 3: been promoted as a partnership between the state and the
- 2:34Speaker 3: Los Angeles base Baby to Baby nonprofit organization However, the
- 2:41Speaker 3: deal has resulted in massive well scrutiny, as it should,
- 2:46Speaker 3: over how the organization was chosen and specifically it's proximity
- 2:51Speaker 3: to Newsom's political and personal network. The California Post revealed
- 2:56Speaker 3: on Saturday, if you take the number of diapers they're
- 3:00Speaker 3: planning to send out and the amount of money that
- 3:03Speaker 3: he's spending on it, it's about fifty cents for each one,
- 3:07Speaker 3: which is like one hundred times more expensive if you
- 3:12Speaker 3: just bought them literally at Costco. I'm gonna say that again.
- 3:16Speaker 3: You could take the money that he is spending the
- 3:19Speaker 3: twenty million, you could go and purchase at Costco retail
- 3:24Speaker 3: just to have your Costco card. I've got one. Many
- 3:26Speaker 3: of you listening have one, and you could buy them
- 3:29Speaker 3: one hundred times less expensive than the diapers that the
- 3:34Speaker 3: governor's plan is going to buy. Republican Govntorial candidate Steve
- 3:39Speaker 3: Hilton told the Post, this is what literally corruption looks like.
- 3:43Speaker 3: Where's the money coming from? Is the other question people
- 3:46Speaker 3: should be asking. The answer is us. Now, this is
- 3:50Speaker 3: where it gets really interesting. Newsom's wife co founded the
- 3:55Speaker 3: California Partners Project, which helped facilitate this quote. Partnership. It's
- 4:01Speaker 3: a ripoff. It aims to increase women in leadership, is
- 4:05Speaker 3: what their state of goal is online. The co CEO
- 4:08Speaker 3: sits on Newsom's board of directors. Yes, so this is
- 4:13Speaker 3: just extreme corruption right in front front of your face.
- 4:18Speaker 3: And so therefore it's like, yeah, we just do this
- 4:20Speaker 3: all the time. Now. The diaper deal, as it was
- 4:23Speaker 3: reported in LA is glaring evidence of what sweetheart relationships
- 4:28Speaker 3: between state funded programs and then like basically the equivalent
- 4:33Speaker 3: of INNGO right, non governmental agency organization or affiliated nonprofit networks.
- 4:40Speaker 3: Instead of taking our money putting into some let me
- 4:43Speaker 3: rephrase that quote, instead of taking our money putting into
- 4:48Speaker 3: some scheme that benefits their friends and cronies. Hilton said,
- 4:53Speaker 3: why don't they let us just keep more of our
- 4:54Speaker 3: money in the first place, so we can decide how
- 4:56Speaker 3: to spend our money. Now, the cozy relationships are not
- 5:00Speaker 3: limited to just diapers. Were also learning the woman's family
- 5:04Speaker 3: has ties that have also drawn attention from other critics,
- 5:07Speaker 3: including her marriage to a film producer whose father is
- 5:11Speaker 3: a longtime Democratic donor who has deep ties to the
- 5:14Speaker 3: Clinton air political network. According to the Post, some seven
- 5:20Speaker 3: point four million has already been approved for the diaper's program.
- 5:25Speaker 3: There's twelve point five million that has been proposed for
- 5:28Speaker 3: the program for twenty twenty six and twenty twenty seven
- 5:32Speaker 3: state budget. Now, other critics also argue that the comparable
- 5:37Speaker 3: bulk retail prices are significantly lower than what the state
- 5:40Speaker 3: will be paying. The Post reach out to Newsom's office
- 5:44Speaker 3: and Baby's Baby to Baby for comment, but guess what.
- 5:48Speaker 3: Neither of them have said a word in response. Newsom,
- 5:52Speaker 3: who many observers predict will run for president in twenty
- 5:55Speaker 3: twenty eight, appears undeterred. He's promising the Golden States Start
- 6:00Speaker 3: as a unique child welfare initiative, calling it a first
- 6:05Speaker 3: in the nation program to provide free diapers to all
- 6:09Speaker 3: newborns born in California. Now, I go back to the
- 6:13Speaker 3: dollar amount here, and this is the part that should
- 6:16Speaker 3: really make people angry. They are deliberately funneling money to
- 6:19Speaker 3: their family and their friends. That's the only way that
- 6:22Speaker 3: you could describe this logically. Otherwise, why would you spend
- 6:27Speaker 3: on average fifty cents for each newborn diaper? Right? It'
- 6:30Speaker 3: one hundred times more expensive than if you bought them
- 6:32Speaker 3: at costco. In fact, the state is spending more per
- 6:36Speaker 3: diaper than any store. Basically, you could go to in
- 6:39Speaker 3: California to buy diapers. So you could go into any
- 6:42Speaker 3: grocery store, you could go into CBS, you go to Walgreens,
- 6:45Speaker 3: whatever target, and you could get a better deal on
- 6:49Speaker 3: diapers than what the state is paying while buying in
- 6:52Speaker 3: massive bulk. And everyone knows that when you buy in bulk,
- 6:56Speaker 3: what happens you get a better price. That's not hard
- 7:00Speaker 3: math to figure out.
- 7:01Speaker 2: Next story number two.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Now, while all of this is happening, there's also another
- 7:06Speaker 3: very interesting story that goes back to this issue of
- 7:09Speaker 3: massive corruption. Democrats don't want you to know about just
- 7:15Speaker 3: how correct they are, so instead where they do every
- 7:17Speaker 3: time they attack the rich in this country, AOC doing
- 7:22Speaker 3: exactly that, showing how historically illiterate she is as a
- 7:27Speaker 3: communist in her latest interview that she's set down to
- 7:30Speaker 3: talk about the twenty twenty eight mindset right where the
- 7:33Speaker 3: Democratic Party is going now, you should not underestimate what
- 7:38Speaker 3: they're trying to accomplish here. The New York Post has
- 7:41Speaker 3: an article out right now talking about this. The headline says,
- 7:45Speaker 3: AOC claims the American Revolution was fought against billionaires. I'm
- 7:52Speaker 3: gonna say that again. AOC believes that the American Revolution
- 7:56Speaker 3: was to fight against billionaires. Now she's a squad member.
- 8:01Speaker 3: She's obviously under fire because if any of you know history,
- 8:05Speaker 3: you know that that is insane. She's under fire for
- 8:08Speaker 3: radically rewriting history by claiming that the American Revolution was
- 8:12Speaker 3: all about fighting against billionaires, similar to the fights she
- 8:15Speaker 3: and other fellow socialists are waging now on capitalism. Quote
- 8:20Speaker 3: the American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time.
- 8:24Speaker 3: In fact, let me just let you hear from AOC
- 8:26Speaker 3: in her own words. This is AOC describing the American Revolution.
- 8:31Speaker 3: And the scary part is this was actually done at
- 8:34Speaker 3: the instut of Politics at the University of Chicago. Another
- 8:36Speaker 3: reason why you should be careful you send your kids
- 8:38Speaker 3: to college.
- 8:39Speaker 4: Listen, the American Revolution was against the billionaires of their time,
- 8:47Speaker 4: and we were declaring independence from such an extreme marriage
- 8:52Speaker 4: of wealth and power in the state.
- 8:55Speaker 3: By the way, just to be clear, the quote billionaires
- 8:59Speaker 3: of our time when the American Revolution was happening was
- 9:02Speaker 3: actually people like George Washington who are risking everything, Thomas Jefferson,
- 9:06Speaker 3: Abraham Lincoln. They were very wealthy and they were spending
- 9:09Speaker 3: their money at incredible rates to try to have an
- 9:14Speaker 3: independent nation, the complete opposite of what AOC just said.
- 9:21Speaker 3: But she wants you to believe this country was founded
- 9:24Speaker 3: to destroy capitalism, when it was actually about freedom and capitalism.
- 9:29Speaker 3: The American Revolution, or exact quote, was against the billionaires
- 9:32Speaker 3: of their time. That is not true. And we are
- 9:34Speaker 3: declarring independence from such an extreme marriage of wealth and
- 9:37Speaker 3: the state. She went on to say again, also lie.
- 9:41Speaker 3: Now she went to Boston University. Another reason why if
- 9:44Speaker 3: you went there, maybe you should ask for a refund
- 9:46Speaker 3: for noting the American Revolution was actually, in fact a
- 9:51Speaker 3: rebellion against the British government. And what were we rebelling
- 9:55Speaker 3: against over unfair taxation without representation and control by a monarchy,
- 10:01Speaker 3: not a fight overwhealth. In fact, it was the opposite
- 10:04Speaker 3: of that. You also, I go back to George Washington
- 10:08Speaker 3: and some of our other founding fathers were among the
- 10:11Speaker 3: wealthiest in the colonies. Washington himself was worth the equivalent
- 10:14Speaker 3: of nearly six hundred million in today's money. So to
- 10:18Speaker 3: answer the question, as Sener Mike Lee put it this week, No, AOC,
- 10:21Speaker 3: the American Revolution was not against the billionaires of their time. Quote,
- 10:27Speaker 3: it was against a large, distant and overly intrusive government
- 10:32Speaker 3: that recognized no limits over its own authority to tax, regulate,
- 10:38Speaker 3: and eat out the substance of the citizens that claim
- 10:42Speaker 3: to serve. Now again that's coming from Senator Mike Lee.
- 10:45Speaker 3: He's absolutely right. So take a listen to AOC talking
- 10:50Speaker 3: and demonizing billionaires in this country, saying it's impossible for
- 10:55Speaker 3: anyone to make a billion dollars.
- 10:57Speaker 5: Legitimately, here's a level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. Right,
- 11:07Speaker 5: you can't earn a billion dollars, that's right. You just
- 11:12Speaker 5: can't earn that.
- 11:13Speaker 1: That's exactly correct.
- 11:15Speaker 5: You can, you can get market power, you can break rules,
- 11:21Speaker 5: you can do all sorts of things, you can abuse
- 11:24Speaker 5: labor laws, you can pay people less than what they're worth.
- 11:28Speaker 5: But you can't earn that, right, and so you have
- 11:32Speaker 5: to create a myth that since you didn't earn that,
- 11:36Speaker 5: you have to create a myth of earning it.
- 11:40Speaker 3: A myth of earning it. So to be clear, if
- 11:43Speaker 3: you're someone that started the personal computer, that you didn't
- 11:46Speaker 3: earn that. If you decide to come up with like
- 11:49Speaker 3: an amazing car that didn't actually use petrol called a tesla.
- 11:55Speaker 3: You didn't earn that. If you created a company that
- 11:59Speaker 3: decided to start flying people from point A to point
- 12:01Speaker 3: B and it exploded, you didn't earn that. If you
- 12:04Speaker 3: came up with some unbelievable technology like AI and it explodes,
- 12:09Speaker 3: you actually didn't earn that. This is AOC and the
- 12:14Speaker 3: Democratic Party making it clear ahead of the midterm elections
- 12:17Speaker 3: what they're going to do. They're going to make this
- 12:19Speaker 3: about us against them. If you're successful, you're the devil.
- 12:23Speaker 3: They're also going to talk about race as much as
- 12:26Speaker 3: they possibly can as well, AOC saying this after attacking
- 12:30Speaker 3: anyone that's been successful in this country.
- 12:32Speaker 5: There are very few real archetypes of in my opinion,
- 12:41Speaker 5: truly what America is all about. I think about the
- 12:45Speaker 5: civil rights and voting rights movement and how Black Americans
- 12:50Speaker 5: really created democracy in US country. That's exactly right, How
- 12:54Speaker 5: they literally made something from nothing, it is just beyond me.
- 13:01Speaker 5: I think about how like Native people have survived and
- 13:09Speaker 5: preserved and treasured their culture. I think about, and I
- 13:18Speaker 5: think many of us think about immigrants, which if you
- 13:21Speaker 5: aren't from one of those first two populations, you are
- 13:23Speaker 5: certainly from largely the third.
- 13:27Speaker 3: You listen to AOC, and this goes back to the
- 13:30Speaker 3: core of the Democratic Party. They want you to hate
- 13:33Speaker 3: this country at its core. They want you to hate
- 13:35Speaker 3: anybody that works hard. They want you to hate anybody
- 13:38Speaker 3: that doesn't depend on the government aka them, for your
- 13:41Speaker 3: success or your livelihood, or just your survival. And then
- 13:46Speaker 3: they want to divide also on the issue of race,
- 13:49Speaker 3: because this is what AOC believes, This is what the
- 13:53Speaker 3: Democratic Party believes. I will say it again. They are
- 13:56Speaker 3: telling you what they think about this country. When they do.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Believe them when they tell you they hate this country.
- 14:03Speaker 3: Believe them when they tell you that they want to
- 14:06Speaker 3: destroy this country. Believe them when they tell you that
- 14:09Speaker 3: America is evil and that's what they're saying. Believe that
- 14:13Speaker 3: that is what they believe in. So the midterms are coming,
- 14:17Speaker 3: and if you want to know what the midterms are about,
- 14:21Speaker 3: this is what the midterms are about. This is the
- 14:25Speaker 3: whole ballgame. This is what they want to happen to America.
- 14:31Speaker 3: You destroy it from within and you recreated it as
- 14:35Speaker 3: a socialist, communist, Marxist society. I want to get your
- 14:39Speaker 3: phone calls one A hundred four seven four nine seven
- 14:44Speaker 3: three two one a hundred four seven four nine to seven,
- 14:49Speaker 3: three to two patriotmonble dot com phone lines are open.
- 14:52Speaker 3: We'll get your thoughts, your reaction to all this, see
- 14:54Speaker 3: what you think about it. And again AOC coming out
- 14:57Speaker 3: saying this, It truly is incredible. It's also not not
- 15:00Speaker 3: surprising that this is what she believes, and this is
- 15:05Speaker 3: why she's saying it the way she's saying it. She
- 15:08Speaker 3: wants this country to burn to the ground, and then
- 15:12Speaker 3: she wants the who sees the world that would be
- 15:15Speaker 3: her and any others to be the ones that are
- 15:19Speaker 3: in charge of it. That's the goal. And if you
- 15:23Speaker 3: are a successful person, be ready. Okay, I just be
- 15:28Speaker 3: ready because they also want to bring you down. They
- 15:32Speaker 3: literally want to take you down.
