Disarray to Revolution The Democratic Party's Radical Communist Shift · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: So the Democratic Party as a traditional party is in
0:06
Speaker 1: shambles right now. But this may actually be by design.
0:12
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that are saying that
0:13
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has never been this bad off. They
0:16
Speaker 1: don't know who their leader is, for example, and in theory,
0:20
Speaker 1: that's bad news. But could all this be done on
0:25
Speaker 1: purpose and done for a reason that is actually one
0:29
Speaker 1: that makes a lot of sense. Is the Democratic Party,
0:34
Speaker 1: which I believe is already dead now, completely taken over
0:38
Speaker 1: by socialists and Marxist and communists. Is that Democratic Party
0:43
Speaker 1: ready to have what I would refer to as a
0:46
Speaker 1: coming out moment to the American people? Are they ready
0:50
Speaker 1: to say we are socialists, we are communists, we are
0:54
Speaker 1: no longer democrats. That party is dead. This is what
0:59
Speaker 1: we are are now. If you look at what AOC
1:04
Speaker 1: has become, she is a communist leader, Bernie Sanders walking
1:09
Speaker 1: around with her doing these big events. This is a
1:12
Speaker 1: guy that is a declared socialist. This is a guy
1:16
Speaker 1: that went on his honeymoon to Russia, Russia when it
1:22
Speaker 1: was still hardcore ussr Russia. You look at what he's
1:28
Speaker 1: doing and I think it's actually very clear his objective,
1:32
Speaker 1: his goal, his goal, his objective is to say to
1:37
Speaker 1: all of his Bernie supporters, this is our future. AOC
1:42
Speaker 1: is the future I'm getting older. In other words, it's
1:46
Speaker 1: his legacy. Now, if you think about Bernie Sanders, I
1:52
Speaker 1: actually appreciate him. And let me explain what I mean
1:55
Speaker 1: by that. Bernie Sanders has been Bernie Sanders a broker
2:01
Speaker 1: for as long as I can remember. He doesn't lie
2:04
Speaker 1: to you. He doesn't tell you that he's not a socialist.
2:07
Speaker 1: He tells you I'm a declared socialist. He's proud of it.
2:11
Speaker 1: He doesn't try to act like he's some sort of democrat.
2:15
Speaker 1: He's like, no, no, no, I'm a socialist, like that's who
2:17
Speaker 1: I am. And I actually appreciate that because I think
2:20
Speaker 1: there's some real authentic you know, like self awareness. I
2:26
Speaker 1: don't like being lied to is another way of putting
2:29
Speaker 1: it by politicians. One of the reasons why I love AOC.
2:33
Speaker 1: And let me explain this very carefully so you understand
2:36
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating for it. She believes in is. I
2:39
Speaker 1: think she is absolutely brilliant for the conservative movement because
2:43
Speaker 1: she's willing to say out loud what other Democrats are
2:48
Speaker 1: not willing to say out loud in public. She will
2:52
Speaker 1: say the crazy socialists and Marxist things. She will come
2:56
Speaker 1: out and tell you she believes that illegal immigrants should
2:59
Speaker 1: be put a head of American citizens. Like this is
3:04
Speaker 1: the part that people need to understand about why I
3:07
Speaker 1: think they are so valuable, Why I believe that not
3:12
Speaker 1: only are they so valuable, but they actually are going
3:15
Speaker 1: to remind the American people that this is where this
3:20
Speaker 1: party wants to go. They want to take us into
3:23
Speaker 1: socialism and Marxism and communism. They're not lying about it,
3:28
Speaker 1: They're not holding back on it. This is truly what
3:31
Speaker 1: they believe. Now, the other question is is America ready
3:35
Speaker 1: for this? Why have Democrats for the last I would
3:39
Speaker 1: argue decade, and I mean this when I say it,
3:42
Speaker 1: I believe the Democratic Party is in fact dead. Why
3:45
Speaker 1: is the Democratic Party not told you that they're socialists
3:48
Speaker 1: and Marxists because and communists? Because they thought the American
3:51
Speaker 1: people couldn't handle it. They thought the American people just
3:59
Speaker 1: really honestly couldn't handle and wouldn't elect someone that's like, yes,
4:04
Speaker 1: I am a socialist, Yes I am a communist, Yes
4:09
Speaker 1: I am a Marxist. Now there's something else that's interesting
4:14
Speaker 1: about all of this, and that is the freak out
4:16
Speaker 1: by the media, because the media is losing their minds
4:20
Speaker 1: right now, and they're losing their minds because they're ready
4:22
Speaker 1: for whatever the leadership is going to be of the
4:24
Speaker 1: Democratic Party to actually be the leadership of the Democratic Party.
4:30
Speaker 1: CNN this past week is a great example of this.
4:34
Speaker 1: We're talking about how the Democratic Party is in total disarray.
4:39
Speaker 1: It's in shocking disarray, and the numbers just clearly show
4:44
Speaker 1: how bad it's become. Now this is when I say,
4:48
Speaker 1: before you celebrate it too much, realize what they actually
4:51
Speaker 1: may be doing here. What I think they're actually doing
4:55
Speaker 1: here is they're telling you that the Democratic Party is dead.
5:00
Speaker 1: We are the Communist Party, the Party of AOC, the
5:04
Speaker 1: party of Bernie Sanders. You look at Dick Durbin, he
5:08
Speaker 1: said he's not running for reelection. Why is he not
5:13
Speaker 1: running for reelection? Because I do believe he understands that
5:17
Speaker 1: this is where the party's going. And he understands even
5:22
Speaker 1: more than that, he understands that he doesn't want to
5:26
Speaker 1: be a part of the hardcore socialists or the hardcore
5:31
Speaker 1: Marxist like that's not what he wants to become. He
5:36
Speaker 1: would rather leave than be a part of that. I
5:41
Speaker 1: think he is a true democrat, is a liberal Democrat, yes,
5:45
Speaker 1: but I don't believe he would consider himself a Marxist
5:48
Speaker 1: or a socialist or a Commist, and he's sure as
5:50
Speaker 1: hell would never want at the end of his career,
5:52
Speaker 1: I think to declare that that's what he is, which
5:55
Speaker 1: is why you say, Okay, I'm out, I'm willing to
5:59
Speaker 1: walk away, I'm willing to look the other way. I'm
6:02
Speaker 1: willing to say I'm going to move on, which brings
6:06
Speaker 1: me to my other point. Is this a moment that
6:10
Speaker 1: we could get caught up in to celebrate the demise
6:12
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party when in reality, what they're doing here
6:16
Speaker 1: is staging a coup from within the party to then
6:20
Speaker 1: come out and now the Democratic Party is no longer
6:22
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is a reinvented socialist
6:27
Speaker 1: Marxist communist party, which should scare the hell out of everybody.
6:31
Speaker 1: If we normalize this, if we normalize socialism, and we
6:36
Speaker 1: normalize communism and Marxism and the Democratic Party disappears again.
6:42
Speaker 1: You may say this is amazing. It's not. It's actually
6:46
Speaker 1: scary as hell. Here is one of the lines that
6:50
Speaker 1: CNN used to describe what's happening within the Democratic Party.
6:53
Speaker 1: And notice they use the word revolt. Revolt is their keyword.
6:59
Speaker 1: Why do they say revolt? They say it because maybe
7:04
Speaker 1: they want the Democratic Party to be dead as well.
7:08
Speaker 1: Maybe they say, we're all in favor of the Democratic
7:12
Speaker 1: Party having a massive revolt. We don't like the Democratic Party.
7:19
Speaker 1: That could be it. It could all actually be, as
7:22
Speaker 1: I describe it, a fix. It could be a ruse.
7:26
Speaker 1: We plan this, we wanted this, we decided that this
7:31
Speaker 1: is what we wanted, and now this is our role
7:33
Speaker 1: out because we have to, of course be careful.
7:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, this I think is a revolt, a revolt that
7:40
Speaker 2: is going on within the Democratic Party right now. Democrats
7:43
Speaker 2: and their leaders, I mean, take a look nationally, hello
7:46
Speaker 2: Democrats on dem leaders in Congress, the belief that they
7:49
Speaker 2: will do the right thing when it comes to the economy.
7:51
Speaker 2: Last year, at this time, eighty percent believe that the
7:54
Speaker 2: Democratic leaders in Congress would do the right thing when
7:56
Speaker 2: it comes.
7:56
Speaker 1: To the economy.
7:57
Speaker 2: And keep in mind this as Democrats look at where
7:59
Speaker 2: we are now has been slashed in.
8:01
Speaker 1: Half to just thirty nine percent, holy thirty nine percent.
8:06
Speaker 1: What are they telling you. They're telling you that the
8:09
Speaker 1: Democratic Party needs a makeover. How do you sell a makeover?
8:14
Speaker 1: You tell them the Democratic Party right now is a disaster,
8:16
Speaker 1: so therefore you need that makeover. This is what I'm
8:21
Speaker 1: worried about. While we may have won this election, the
8:25
Speaker 1: fight to restore our great nation is only beginning, and
8:28
Speaker 1: now is the time to take a stand, and Patriot
8:31
Speaker 1: Mobile is leading the charge. It has never been easier
8:34
Speaker 1: to switch your cell phone than in twenty twenty five.
8:38
Speaker 1: With technology, you can do it literally over the phone
8:40
Speaker 1: with a code they send you. It is amazing. But
8:44
Speaker 1: here's the reason why I'm I use Patriot Mobile now.
8:48
Speaker 1: One I save money over what I was paying before
8:50
Speaker 1: with Big Mobile, and two, I'm no longer supporting the
8:53
Speaker 1: radical left now. I didn't realize until someone told me
8:57
Speaker 1: just how radical Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are
9:00
Speaker 1: suporting organizations that pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic
9:04
Speaker 1: causes and organizations they're helping Democrats get elect it at
9:07
Speaker 1: the local, state and national level. That is actually why,
9:11
Speaker 1: over a decade ago Patriot Mobile was started and they
9:14
Speaker 1: are now America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. Now, let's
9:19
Speaker 1: talk about coverage. In twenty twenty five, you have zero
9:23
Speaker 1: problems with coverage anymore, because well, Patriot Mobile uses all
9:27
Speaker 1: three major networks. What does that mean for you? It
9:29
Speaker 1: means whatever coverage you're used to now, you're going to
9:32
Speaker 1: stay exactly the same, or you may even be able
9:35
Speaker 1: to improve it, but it will not be any issues
9:38
Speaker 1: when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have a
9:40
Speaker 1: coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this is
9:43
Speaker 1: where the magic happens. They take a portion of your
9:46
Speaker 1: bill every month and they give it back to organizations
9:49
Speaker 1: that support our first and our second amendments that support
9:52
Speaker 1: the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our first responders,
9:57
Speaker 1: and are wounded warriors. And like I said, switch with
10:00
Speaker 1: technology now has never been easier. You keep your same
10:03
Speaker 1: phone you have now, keep your same phone number, and
10:06
Speaker 1: you can even upgrade to a new phone if you
10:07
Speaker 1: want to. They have a one hundred percent US based
10:11
Speaker 1: customer support team to help you find the perfect plan
10:14
Speaker 1: and to save money. And if you own a business
10:16
Speaker 1: or a small business, they have a division that just
10:18
Speaker 1: works on switching multiple lines over easily. So right now,
10:22
Speaker 1: go to Patriotmobile dot com slash Ferguson or call them
10:28
Speaker 1: nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
10:30
Speaker 1: a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
10:33
Speaker 1: So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
10:35
Speaker 1: every call you make Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ferguson
10:40
Speaker 1: or nine to seven to two Patriot. We've got new
10:44
Speaker 1: pulling numbers that are out and this directly relates to
10:48
Speaker 1: the one hundred day mark of President Donald Trump's second
10:53
Speaker 1: term in office. There is some data here that is
10:58
Speaker 1: concerning There's all some data here that'll make you smile,
11:02
Speaker 1: and there's also data here that you put in perspective
11:05
Speaker 1: comparing it to the Democratic Party's polling numbers, and you're
11:10
Speaker 1: gonna be like, all right, now, I get it. Now,
11:13
Speaker 1: I understand Donald Trump is still winning, but are tariffs
11:20
Speaker 1: dampening where he could be when it comes to his
11:23
Speaker 1: approval rating. Well, let's take a look at these poll numbers. Now,
11:27
Speaker 1: when near only one hundred days into the Trump administration,
11:30
Speaker 1: the American people still want deportations at a very high rate.
11:37
Speaker 1: There's a new CBS pull out and here's the question
11:39
Speaker 1: that was asked, do you approve or disapprove of the
11:43
Speaker 1: Trump administration's program to find and deport immigrants. They didn't
11:48
Speaker 1: even use the word illegals. Okay, they use the word
11:51
Speaker 1: immigrants who are in the US illegally. I love how
11:55
Speaker 1: they like, you know, make sure they pc this question
11:57
Speaker 1: for people. Fifty six percent approve while just forty four
12:02
Speaker 1: percent disapproved, as a twelve point advantage. So what is
12:07
Speaker 1: a takeaway from this part of the poll? Number One,
12:10
Speaker 1: if you're Donald Trump in the White House and his administration,
12:13
Speaker 1: you should be all over deporting legal immigrants as fast
12:17
Speaker 1: as you possibly can, because it's very clear there is
12:20
Speaker 1: a massive mandate for you to do exactly that. If
12:26
Speaker 1: there's a issue to lead on, is another way of
12:29
Speaker 1: putting it. This is the issue that I would lead on. Now.
12:33
Speaker 1: There's also the other part of this story, which is
12:35
Speaker 1: that Democrats are in disarray right now. It's a very
12:38
Speaker 1: interesting headline comparing where we are one hundred days in
12:42
Speaker 1: Democrats Republicans. What are Democrats doing right now? They're using
12:48
Speaker 1: the F bomb with increased certainty instead of actually giving ideas.
12:54
Speaker 1: They're increasingly being replaced ideas with just profanity and anger
13:01
Speaker 1: by Democrats, says. The midterms are just around the corner.
13:05
Speaker 1: Democratic candidates are dropping f bombs and other expletives in
13:08
Speaker 1: their ads and in their appearances. The trend, by the way,
13:13
Speaker 1: is not limited to campaigns. Certain words such as aas
13:18
Speaker 1: or im pissd off, previously unheard for decades in the Capitol,
13:25
Speaker 1: are making their way into speeches on the floor of
13:28
Speaker 1: Congress by lawmakers. One lawmaker, Texas Democrat, Jasmine Crockett, has
13:35
Speaker 1: drawn extensive media coverage as she forged a reputation using
13:39
Speaker 1: the kind of language one expects to hear, well if
13:43
Speaker 1: you're in a gunfight, but that's not exactly what she's in. Instead,
13:47
Speaker 1: she's just dropping bombs left and right. So you look
13:52
Speaker 1: at where the Democratic Party is right now, and then
13:54
Speaker 1: you look at these approval ratings. Now, if we're just say,
14:00
Speaker 1: and if the tru administration are deciding, like, hey, what
14:02
Speaker 1: should we be focusing on one hundred days in clearly
14:04
Speaker 1: the number one issue would be immigration because that's where
14:07
Speaker 1: they have this big margin. They should be excited. But
14:10
Speaker 1: that means you've got to look at everything else as well.
14:12
Speaker 1: So let's talk about some of the other perspective points
14:15
Speaker 1: here that make me concerned. Donald Trump. ABC News is
14:19
Speaker 1: reporting today has the lowest one hundred day job approval
14:23
Speaker 1: rating of any president in the past eighty years. Why
14:28
Speaker 1: there's a lot of pushback of his policies. By the way,
14:33
Speaker 1: most of it is coming from the issue of tariffs. Now,
14:38
Speaker 1: you can also put this in perspective and at an
14:41
Speaker 1: asterisk next to ABC News's headline, and let me explain
14:44
Speaker 1: why I'm not as concerned after looking at the data.
14:49
Speaker 1: The initial headline is concerning right, one hundred day job
14:52
Speaker 1: approval rating, it's the lowest of any president in the
14:54
Speaker 1: past eighty years. Well, why is that? Could it be
14:58
Speaker 1: because this president is a actually taking on the tough issues.
15:01
Speaker 1: Instead of saying I'm going to punt and kick the
15:04
Speaker 1: football down the road, I'm going to kick the can
15:07
Speaker 1: down the road. I'm not going to cover or work
15:09
Speaker 1: on tough issues early on because there's a lot of
15:12
Speaker 1: candidates that are wiss. They won't touch things like doing
15:15
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump's doing right now with tariffs. They it
15:17
Speaker 1: would be quote too hard, or they would spend too
15:20
Speaker 1: much political capital where they don't want to see their
15:22
Speaker 1: approval rating go up or down. Right, They just want
15:25
Speaker 1: to be where they were when they got into office.
15:28
Speaker 1: So part of it is actually, I think a good thing.
15:31
Speaker 1: That means with confirmation that Donald Trump is taking on
15:35
Speaker 1: the hard issues, the tough issues. Now, the reason why
15:40
Speaker 1: he has approval rating is lower in the first hundred
15:42
Speaker 1: days than any other present in the past eighty years
15:45
Speaker 1: is because of the economic concerns, discontent, the fear of
15:51
Speaker 1: a recession that coming from ABC News, Washington Posts pull. Now,
15:58
Speaker 1: here's the perspective ass respect of this that I was
16:00
Speaker 1: talking about a moment ago. You put all that into
16:04
Speaker 1: a basket, and then you compare it to the Democratic Party,
16:09
Speaker 1: and he still beats the Democrats in Congress in terms
16:12
Speaker 1: of trust to handle the nation's biggest problems. Thirty nine
16:17
Speaker 1: percent of respondents in the same poll said they approve
16:21
Speaker 1: of how Trump is handling his job as president. That's
16:24
Speaker 1: down six points from February. Fifty five percent say they disapprove.
16:28
Speaker 1: Yet he still beats Democrats in Congress in terms of
16:32
Speaker 1: who the American people trust to handle our biggest issues. Now,
16:37
Speaker 1: you go back to the high note here, President Trump's
16:40
Speaker 1: got a plus twelve in the polling on deporting illegal immigrants.
16:47
Speaker 1: Why are Democrats in putting all their energy into stopping
16:50
Speaker 1: the deportations of violent criminal illegal immigrants and or m
16:53
Speaker 1: asserteen gang members. That is the question that we should
16:56
Speaker 1: be asking right now. And it's because they actually believe
17:00
Speaker 1: that these people should stay in America. They hate Americans.
17:02
Speaker 1: They don't care if you get killed or sexually assaulted
17:06
Speaker 1: by one of these gang members, because they're all about
17:09
Speaker 1: bringing in new voters, even if they are violent, murdering
17:13
Speaker 1: criminals that are in a terrorist organization. They just don't
17:18
Speaker 1: care about Americans. The second takeaway from this is I
17:24
Speaker 1: don't think Donald Trump cares about every single poll that
17:27
Speaker 1: comes out if he believes he's doing the right thing.
17:30
Speaker 1: With conviction, the President clearly believes is doing the right
17:33
Speaker 1: thing when it comes to tariffs, and once you start
17:35
Speaker 1: getting deals announced, you're going to see, I think, a
17:37
Speaker 1: big pop in the stock market. You're gonna see momentum.
17:40
Speaker 1: You're gonna see people that are actually get excited. And
17:43
Speaker 1: I also think these poll numbers will come up. If
17:46
Speaker 1: you want to know what paralyzes politicians the most, it's
17:49
Speaker 1: when they see their job approval reading drop. And that's
17:52
Speaker 1: why many many politicians, whether it's the local level or
17:57
Speaker 1: the state level, or the national level or the presidency.
17:59
Speaker 1: For goodness, sakes. They won't take on the third rail issues,
18:03
Speaker 1: and certainly tariffs is a third rail issued right. They
18:06
Speaker 1: won't take on reforming Medicare Medicaid, they won't take on
18:10
Speaker 1: reforming Social Security because they say, we're gonna kick that
18:13
Speaker 1: can down the road. Let someone else take the hit
18:15
Speaker 1: in their approval rating. I'm not willing to do it.
18:18
Speaker 1: And that is what I also think makes Donald Trump
18:21
Speaker 1: so brilliant. Right now. Donald Trump is saying, I'm willing
18:24
Speaker 1: to do the hard things that these wisses are not
18:27
Speaker 1: willing to do. These other wosses in the Democratic are
18:31
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party and the Democratic Party, these other
18:33
Speaker 1: wisses of the past, they wouldn't do these things. And
18:36
Speaker 1: I'm going to do it. And I because the American
18:38
Speaker 1: people told me to do it. They sent me to
18:41
Speaker 1: Washington to do it. They sent me to Washington again
18:46
Speaker 1: to do this. And that's the biggest issue here. So
18:50
Speaker 1: is it worth it to have a lower approval rating
18:52
Speaker 1: in the first one hundred days. Hell yeah, if you're
18:54
Speaker 1: changing America. And I think that's what the President saying
18:58
Speaker 1: here as well. All Right, I want to get you
19:00
Speaker 1: an update on another issue that's really important and that
19:04
Speaker 1: is the issue of tariffs. We're getting some new information
19:08
Speaker 1: out of the White House and President Donald Trump has
19:10
Speaker 1: said that his tariff policy will substantially reduce and even
19:16
Speaker 1: completely eliminate income taxes for some American workers. Quote. When
19:23
Speaker 1: tariffs cut in, many people's income taxes will be substantially reduced,
19:28
Speaker 1: maybe even completely eliminated. That is what Trump said on
19:33
Speaker 1: Sunday on True Social He then went on to say
19:36
Speaker 1: focus will be on people making less than two hundred
19:39
Speaker 1: thousand a year. Trump continued, also, massive numbers of jobs
19:44
Speaker 1: are already being created, with new plans and factories currently
19:48
Speaker 1: being built or planned. It will be a bonanza for America.
19:52
Speaker 1: The external revenue service is happening now. Trumps promoted an
19:58
Speaker 1: external revenue service before, but may be citing the attractive
20:02
Speaker 1: idea again in the face of continued criticism by detractors
20:08
Speaker 1: that he has launched a destructive quote trade war that
20:11
Speaker 1: has obviously had its toll on the US stock market, and,
20:16
Speaker 1: as Democrats are praying for, will result in higher prices
20:19
Speaker 1: for consumers. On April the second, Trump imposed those series
20:24
Speaker 1: of serious tariffs on nations around the world, including a
20:28
Speaker 1: ten percent tariff on virtually everything coming to the United States.
20:32
Speaker 1: The tariff on India was said at twenty six percent,
20:35
Speaker 1: while China has taken the biggest hit with one hundred
20:37
Speaker 1: and forty five percent levies against China. However, the administration
20:43
Speaker 1: has walked back many of those tariffs. It has put
20:46
Speaker 1: a ninety day pause on reciprocal tariffs. They've launched major
20:50
Speaker 1: negotiations with dozens of countries that are locked in right
20:54
Speaker 1: now in DC, and they've said that many of these
20:57
Speaker 1: countries are happy to sign a new deal focusing on
21:02
Speaker 1: a fair deal for America. And that also means that
21:05
Speaker 1: China is being in many ways hung out to dry
21:09
Speaker 1: in recent weeks, by the way, the Wall Street Journal
21:12
Speaker 1: seems to be hanging on every word by Trump and
21:15
Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary Scott Bissin as the dal Jones is
21:20
Speaker 1: fluctuated all over the place. Now, as long as you
21:23
Speaker 1: don't sell right, then you haven't lost anything yet, that's
21:27
Speaker 1: been the message coming from the White House. The terror
21:31
Speaker 1: policies have also rattled the US bond market, which finances
21:35
Speaker 1: the nation's debt. Many detractors have said that this has
21:39
Speaker 1: prompted Trump to dial back his policies, or it could
21:43
Speaker 1: just be that the President of the United States of America
21:46
Speaker 1: understands what he's doing right now. But what the President
21:49
Speaker 1: has made clear is that he believes this is going
21:52
Speaker 1: to be a bonanza for America. He also believes that
21:56
Speaker 1: this is going to hurt China more than anyone else.
21:59
Speaker 1: And China, just so you understand how much they're lying
22:02
Speaker 1: to you, they lied about COVID and its origins. But
22:06
Speaker 1: now the Chinese Foreign Ministry is insisting that quote fetanyl
22:11
Speaker 1: is the US problem, not China, saying this the US,
22:16
Speaker 1: and the US alone has the responsibility to solve it.
22:19
Speaker 1: That is what China said a press conference, saying, quote,
22:23
Speaker 1: despite the goodwill China has shown, the US slap tariffs
22:26
Speaker 1: on Chinese imports and blames it on fetnyl. This is
22:30
Speaker 1: bullying through and through and highly damaging to the dialogue
22:34
Speaker 1: and cooperation on counter narcotics. Now, the US should know
22:40
Speaker 1: that vilifying others, China says, will not hide it's failed
22:43
Speaker 1: responsibility to punish those who try to help, will not
22:48
Speaker 1: solve any problem, and intimidation or threats are certainly not
22:53
Speaker 1: the right way to engage with China. That's what China
22:56
Speaker 1: has said again in their propaganda. Gal was respond to
23:00
Speaker 1: reports about how slow progress and talks between the US
23:03
Speaker 1: and China officials are curtailing china supply of chemicals for
23:09
Speaker 1: the deadly fetanyl drug. The US also told Reuters on
23:14
Speaker 1: Wednesday that the Chinese are quote failing to negotiate in
23:18
Speaker 1: good faith quote unquote. These officials said China is exchanging
23:23
Speaker 1: intelligence about traffickers, but its proposals to resolve the FEDINL
23:27
Speaker 1: crisis have been quote unquote inadequate. Like, here's what you
23:30
Speaker 1: need to understand about China. They know where the federals
23:33
Speaker 1: coming from, they know who they know who's creating it,
23:35
Speaker 1: they know who's making money off of it. They know
23:37
Speaker 1: who all the traffickers are. This is not being done
23:40
Speaker 1: in an underworld. In China. The Chinese Communist Party is
23:43
Speaker 1: making money, make no mistake about it, off of FEEDANL trade.
23:46
Speaker 1: They are also while China might be quote willing to
23:50
Speaker 1: share intel about traffickers, it rarely takes serious actions against
23:55
Speaker 1: the least illicit chemical manufacturers, those that are making these
23:58
Speaker 1: drugs in China. This is probably because chemicals have also
24:04
Speaker 1: had quote legitimate uses, and the Chinese government is quote
24:07
Speaker 1: reluctant to compromise the profits of their huge chemical companies.
24:14
Speaker 1: So one US official put it this way, start putting
24:19
Speaker 1: big important people behind bars as a signal to the
24:22
Speaker 1: whole industry or black market. We just haven't seen that.
24:27
Speaker 1: In other words, China's lyne. They know they're killing people
24:30
Speaker 1: in America, they know they're killing people around the world,
24:33
Speaker 1: and they don't care. But you ought to understand, China
24:35
Speaker 1: don't even care about their own people. Look at how
24:38
Speaker 1: they've enslaved their own people with slave labor. Look at
24:40
Speaker 1: how they've abused children with child labor. China is soulless
24:46
Speaker 1: when it comes to caring about people. They are a
24:50
Speaker 1: soulless government. They are a soulless group of individuals. They
24:55
Speaker 1: don't care who dies in their own country. They don't
24:58
Speaker 1: care about child labor. They don't care about slave labor,
25:02
Speaker 1: which they do have in China from other people from
25:04
Speaker 1: around the world. Let's be very clear about that. They
25:07
Speaker 1: don't care if you're dying because of fetnyl overdoses. They
25:10
Speaker 1: don't care if your kids are or your grandkids are.
25:13
Speaker 1: And that's why the Trump administration is saying, we're not
25:17
Speaker 1: budgeing either China. You're gonna aggressively prosecute those who produce
25:21
Speaker 1: and sell fetinyl chemicals, or we're gonna hold you accountable
25:26
Speaker 1: for it. Now. China in their new offer all right,
25:30
Speaker 1: is merely offering to quote regulate the chemicals as basically
25:36
Speaker 1: a little more tightly than they are right now. That's
25:39
Speaker 1: not good enough for the President, and that's why they're
25:42
Speaker 1: calling them out. And even this offer that we're hearing
25:45
Speaker 1: about this weekend seems largely rhetorical to the Trump administration,
25:51
Speaker 1: who said talk is cheap. China again, never seems to
25:55
Speaker 1: do anything meaningful to shut down the chemical pipelines because
25:59
Speaker 1: they're making too much money off it and they don't
26:03
Speaker 1: care if you're dying because of it. Now. Trump's first
26:06
Speaker 1: round of twenty percent tariffs on China in February, just
26:09
Speaker 1: so you know, was presented as punishment for China failing
26:13
Speaker 1: to take the fetnal crisis seriously enough. China responded by
26:17
Speaker 1: saying it would do nothing further to quote address the
26:20
Speaker 1: fetanyl problem until the tariffs were lifted. So again they'll saying, well,
26:24
Speaker 1: we're going to allow more people to die, and we're
26:27
Speaker 1: not going to help you guys until you lift our tariffs. Well,
26:30
Speaker 1: when we didn't have the tariffs arm they were still
26:31
Speaker 1: killing Americans, So which way is it? American officials also
26:36
Speaker 1: noted this week that China is a member of the
26:39
Speaker 1: UN Commission on Narcotic Drugs, which unanimously agreed to place
26:43
Speaker 1: tighter control on fetnel chemicals at a March twenty twenty
26:47
Speaker 1: four meeting in Vienna, Austria. China's proposal to regulate more
26:51
Speaker 1: chemicals are therefore, quote a bad faith offer to do
26:56
Speaker 1: something that it already pledged to do over a year ago.
27:00
Speaker 1: White House again calling them out for their line pressed
27:03
Speaker 1: on the issue. By the way, Chinese officials over the
27:05
Speaker 1: weekend have been repeating the talking points from the regime
27:11
Speaker 1: that fetanyl is entirely quote an American problem, even though
27:16
Speaker 1: no one disputes that most of the chemicals for the
27:19
Speaker 1: fetanyl is coming directly from communists China. The biggest change
27:24
Speaker 1: in fetnyl production since the Trump term has been that
27:27
Speaker 1: China no longer ships the chemicals directly to American drug dealers. Instead,
27:32
Speaker 1: it ships the chemicals to Mexican cartels, who then manufacture
27:37
Speaker 1: the fetanyl and smuggle it across the US border. So
27:40
Speaker 1: now they're in business with the Terrace Narco World in
27:45
Speaker 1: Mexico and the feedinyl users and traffickers in the USA.
27:48
Speaker 1: There has been very little reduction in the supply of
27:52
Speaker 1: the drugs since China promised to crack down on chemical
27:54
Speaker 1: producers because they're not actually wanting to do it, so
27:58
Speaker 1: they'll just change how they get it here. They went
28:00
Speaker 1: into business with the cartels in Mexico and they said,
28:02
Speaker 1: here you go, We'll give you everything you need. You
28:04
Speaker 1: guys finish it up. You guys finished the product, and
28:06
Speaker 1: then you guys take across the board in America and
28:08
Speaker 1: we also get paid, we also get rich, and a
28:10
Speaker 1: bunch of people still die in America. That's how evil
28:12
Speaker 1: the Chinese are. Make sure you share this podcast wherever
28:16
Speaker 1: you can on social media and I will see you
28:19
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow.
