Democrats NEW strategy for the midterms, Buying YOUR VOTE and BLAMING the economy on Republicans! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Right before election day, seventy million Americans to receive an
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: increase and social Security benefits, one of the biggest increases
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: that you've ever seen. And this is how you try
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to buy votes, try to have the midterm elections. Even
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: ABC News had problems with Joe Biden's claim that the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: GOP will increase inflation. The Inflation Reduction Act doesn't have
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: much to do with inflation. ABC News actually said over
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: the weekend, Now I want you to hear this report
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: about seventy million Americans set to receive increase Social Security benefits,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: and then I want you to hear the administration's lie
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: that Republicans will make things worse. What does this social
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Security benefit bump mean for retirees. Well, hopefully it's going
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to mean some much needed relief for the nearly seventy
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: million Social Security recipients. They've seen their budgets stretched thin
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: because of high inflation. Also, their nest egg have taken
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a real wallop because of the plunging stock and bond markets.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: So the average monthly Social Security check will rise by
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: eight point seven percent next year, the biggest cost of
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: living adjustments since nineteen eighty one. That means people are
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: going to see their Social Security checks go by one
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty six dollars a month. Certainly good news.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And get this statistic that I read twenty percent of
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: retirees depend on Social Security for ninety percent or more
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of their income. So the fact that they're going to
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: be getting more in that check every month is welcome news.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: So where does this Social Security as a program? Will
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it run out of money eventually? That's a myth. A
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: lot of people are saying that is going to happen.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It won't bankrupt Social Security, but it will definitely put
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: a stress on the system. And it's estimated by twenty
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: thirty four, that's just twelve years away, social Security will
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: only be able to pay out eighty percent of its
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: benefits on less Congress acts. And I feel like Social
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Security has been on congresses to do list forever and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: as I can, they need to start to make some
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: real Let's talk inflation. We're looking at near historic eyes.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Where are people feeling at the most right now? So
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: let's just talk about where inflation is at the moment
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: of eight point two percent year over year. Our wages
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: are only up five percent, so clearly not keeping pace
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: and we took a look at some everyday items. Right now,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it costs the average household four hundred forty five dollars
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: more a month to pay for things like rent, medical care,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: daycare expenses. When it comes to food, which is a
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: big part of the inflation picture there, we've got dairy
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: products and coffee each up better than fifteen percent, going
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: to cost you seventeen percent more for chicken, and look
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: at eggs up thirty seven percent. Of course, housing a
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: big part of the inflation picture as well, whether you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: rent or you buy. So a one bedroom apartment averaged
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: about twelve hundred dollars last year. Today that's five hundred
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: dollars more. And if you're buying, you're still getting hit, Diane.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Mortgage rates are now at a sixteen year high and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: gas prices remember they had been coming. I love this.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Mortgage rates sixteen year high, sixteen year high, gas rates
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: all time high for many people in their lifetime. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: so security and the Biden message, you're like, oh, here's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a little extra cash, it's not going to cover it.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And ABC News is telling you that, they're saying it's
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not gonna it's not going to cover your expenses coming down.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: We were enjoying that a little bit. They're creeping back
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: up now with OPEC going to cut production. The national
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: average now three ninety a gallon, of course a whole
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: lot more in California. And not to continue to be
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the bearer of bad news, but home heating going to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: cost us all more to heat our homes, whether it's
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: with natural gas, electricity, home heating oil, it's going to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: be more one more costs going up. Now. We've seen
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: over and over again at the economy and inflation are
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: top issues for voters in the midterms. The presidents in
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: California today, among other things, saying that if Republicans gain
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: control of Congress, they will repeal the Inflation Reduction Act.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: All of this gets worse. Let's say you to that.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I say that we've been talking about how the Inflation
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Reduction Act is a misnomer because it doesn't have much
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to do with inflation. Over time, it should bring down
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: healthcare costs and energy costs. This is a many years process.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It's not going to do anything for inflation in the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: short term. And the Fed and interest rates, what are
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you watching for there? We're watching for any relief on
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: the inflation front doesn't look like we're going to get
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it anytime soon. So the Fed probably going to raise
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: interest rates by another three quarters or percent at that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: November meeting, probably going to get another hike in December,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: which means borrowing costs everything from mortgages to home equity
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: loans to your credit cards. All those interest rates are
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: going up. So if you can start to bring down debt,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: now pay it off, because it's only going to get
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: more expensive, right, Alexis, Christopher is always great to have you.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Thank you, thanks. Yeah, that's how bad things are. But
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: don't worry. We got to figure it out right. The
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: main claim that we all have to go back to
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: here is that we had this reduction right, Inflation Reduction
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Act that does nothing to actually reduce inflation. And that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: why that reporter just pushed back on the claim by
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: President Joe Biden that if Republicans gain control of both
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: chambers of Congress in the midterms, they will make the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: inflation problem worse by repealing the Inflation Reduction Act, by
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: stating that naming the legislation the Inflation Reduction Act is
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a misnomer because the law doesn't have much to do
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: with inflation. Quote unquote, and the legislation is not going
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to do anything for inflation in the short term. I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: need to tell you about my good friends at Legacy

• 5:44
  Speaker 1: pullback well into twenty twenty three. If that happens, you're
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: going to see tremendous losses in your portfolio. Many of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you have already seen those losses. That is where there's

• 6:48
  Speaker 1: They're going rogue over there. At MSNBC, Mark McKinnon this
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: morning said GOP has completely abandoned any sense of ideology
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: as the Devil's disciples have enabled Donald Trump and others.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: This is their closing argument ahead the Madgin, as we know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: will come to a halt. So Mark, let's talk about evolution.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You just mentioned Sarah Palin and many have drawn a
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: through line from Palen to Trump in terms of that appeal,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that celebrity populist appeal and Republican party. Not to say
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: that Trump's knot still with us. He very much is
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: and looms large over twenty twenty four and beyond. But
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there are some Democrats who see two Republicans in particular
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: as maybe the air parents to the Trump mantle. Carry Lake,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: who had just talked about who's the former TV newscaster
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: or Obama supporter, We should note, but it is of
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: polished and good and really good on the stump, maybe
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the less threatening than Trump in some ways. The others
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: run to Santis, who's been able to use the power
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: of government in a very effective way to push through
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: his potical agenda, perhaps more effectively than Trump ever could
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: give us your assessment of Lake and DeSantis, but also
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: large is that where the Republican Party's going, there's no
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: question that's where it's going. And both Lake and de
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Santis have perfected the kind of anti elite punched back
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: on anything establishment related, freezing and we are all the
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: enemy of the people. Casting in the light that Robbers
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: talked about. Robert also has as a piece in The
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: New York Times about Marjorie Taylor Green, and I think
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: it's an interesting question for Robert to say, what does
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: her ascendency mean as a first term congressman who's seen
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: as like a fringe candidate by most people. But in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: a new Republican held Congress, Robert, what does where will
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: she be and what kind of power will she wield
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in a new Congress. Yeah, well, Mark, I mean, it's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: thanks for the question. I mean, when I undertook to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: begin reporting on my book, it was December of twenty twenty,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Green had just won. But I thinkured that she would
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be sort of kicked to the curb and viewed as
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: a marginal figure, but she knew something about the Republican
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: base that establishment Republicans did not, and has been able
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to in the first reporting quarter raise a staggering amount
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of money. Is currently now the fourth highest fundraiser among
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: House Republicans. Two of them are our House leaders Scalisa
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: and McCarthy. So for a freshman to do this shows
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: that she's onto something visa viva base. And McCarthy recognizes this.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And it's not just that he's sort of, you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: humoring her by offering her plumb committee assignments and all that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: It's clear in fact that she has become a leader
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: without particular portfolio in the party. And so this is
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the Republican Party that is essentially on the ballot for
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and it's a party that, as Green
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: has said to me, intends to get certain things done.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: And it's and this is not all performative politics. This
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: is actually a slate that is anti immigration, anti abortion,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: anti gun control, anti climate change regulation. These are individuals
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: who believe in something and they are now the power
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: figures and the GOP. I love the fearmongering, I really do.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: This is the only way that they're going to be
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: able to try to make inroads. They can't run on
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the economy, they can't run on anything, right, I mean,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: this is it, This is all they can do. This
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: is a whole ball game for them. And when you
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: hear the whole ball game and their whole game plan,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: which is how they just described it, right, the Republicans
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: are extremists, are radical, their nut jobs are incompetent, they're insane.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: So vote for us. We know your life sucks. We
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: know that inflations through the roof. We know you can't
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: afford things. We know that you're electricity bill, many of
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: them around the country have gone up by hundreds of
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: dollars over the last couple of months out of nowhere.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: We know that the gas prices are going back up
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: and should skyrocket. We know that interest rates are sixteen
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: year high. But just know that major Taylor Green, right,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: she's the crazy one. That is the Republican Party. That's
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: where you need to be. So, so Mark, help help
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: help me understand this bet all right, because it's it's
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: just so fascinating, because I can't quite figure out how
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Republicans are duped so easily. You have. Let's talk about
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the two people that right now, a lot of people
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: are fascinated by and talking about and Democrats. But by
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the way, notice how he just says, I can't understand
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: how Republicans can be so stupid, can be duped. Right,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: So after they come in and talk to you the
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: way that they just did, then they come back and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: they tell you're stupid, and apparently that's going to make
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: you want to become a Democrat. Right if you talk
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: about how stupid the Republicans are, they're all just going
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to see the lot of dinga. Oh, I had no idea. Oh,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you're right, we are stupid. Yes, wanting lower taxes, You
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: are totally correct, Yes, wanting lower gas prices, wanting lower
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: costs that grocery stores. I guess, I guess now I
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: have woken up to the wokeness of the left. I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: had no idea how stupid I was, But now I know,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm alive and I understand it, and I am well, right,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's this is the let's mock them and
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: maybe they'll wake up moment. Right, Let's let's let's mock them,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: make fun of them, and then here's their response. He
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: turned about Donald Trump, Democrat for most of his life,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: gave millions of dollars to Democrats, and no, it wasn't
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: like back in the nineteen nineties. He contributed to Kamala
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Harris's campaign in twenty fourteen. Right, and then you have
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Carrie Lake, a baroque who sang Obama supporter, right, so
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: she was swept up with hope and change, just like
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump was a supporter of Kamala Harris and Hillary
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Clinton and best friends. It seemed at times with Bill
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Clinton he loved Democrats. He attacked Ronald Reagan, he attacked
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: one Republican after another. How how can it be that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Republicans embraced these people who were so hostile to the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Republican Party? The conservatism too. You know the part that
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: really makes me laugh about what you're hearing right now
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: from Joe Scarborough. Joe Scarborough was a conservative Republican back
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: in the day, Joe Scarborough was elected as a Republican,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: not as a Democrat to Congress. Joe Scarborough had a
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: conservative radio show that I used to sit in for.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough was such a conservative that actually one time
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: he threw out his back couldn't move, and they called
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: me and asked me to go do the speaking engagement
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: on his behalf down in Florida. That's how conservative he was.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: And it's hilarious because he's basically saying, well, once you're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: a Democrat, you're always a Democrat, right, you're getting bamboozled, Well,
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: then explain your change. You're one of the most radical
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: liberals out there right now. I mean radical is the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: word that you have to say, you have to use here.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: It's not conservative. He is a radical liberal. Now why,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I think he probably believes some of it because he
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: now lives in New York City. I think he wants
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to be accepted by society in New York City, There's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But I also think it's money.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Look at all the money this dude makes saying I'm
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: a Republican when you're not right, it's as easy as
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: getting on the view. Hate the Republican Party have Republican
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: views back in the day. They'll put you on the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: view and say you're a Republican. And that's what his
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: show started out as at MSNBC. I'm a Republican who's
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: tired of the Republican the way the Republican Party's going,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm here to save them, and then he just
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: became a hardcore, woke left he and now he's criticizing
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: other people who change just like him. He wouldn't have
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: a career, folks, if it wasn't for him becoming a
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: woke liberal. Now, whether it's authentic or not, I don't know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: and honestly I don't care. I judge him by what
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: he believes in today. Do I think that Donald Trump
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: used to be much more liberal than he is now? Yes?
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: But he did he bamboozle us? No, he didn't bamboozle us.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: It's very clear that Donald Trump is a hardcore conservative now.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Was he in the past liberal? Yes? Did he wake up,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I think, to realize that the liberal ideology was destroying
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: New York City and other places like that. You better
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: believe it. That's what it was all about. Listen to
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: the closing of what he has to say here, okay,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and listen to Mark McKinnon come back and say, you know,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: you're exactly right. There've been, they've been. The Republicans are
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: stupid everything that they supposedly care so much about. Now, well, Joe,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: that's was so depressing for those of us on survivor
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: island in the Republican Party is the party is abandoned
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: completely by the way. I love this. Mark McKinnon is
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: not a Republican. Joe Scarborough is not a Republican all right.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: On the View. You look at some of the people
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: on the View, they claim a Republicans, right, They're not
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Republicans when you are voting for Democrats, raising money for Democrats,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: advocating on Navar is a great example of this right.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: I had to debate her for years at CNN. She's
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: now on the View as one of the Roundtable guests hosts.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Every time she's on, they claim that she is a
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Republican every time. She is not a Republican. She is
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: a Democrat. And everybody knows that she is a Democrat.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: She has supported Hillary Clinton, She's supported Barack Obama. She
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: is not a Back in the day, she I think
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: she was an opportunist conservative. She wanted to be around
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: famous and rich people, and she found a lane with conservatives.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Then when she found a better lane among Democrats, she
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: then switched. It's just that simple. She's what you would
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: refer to as a sellout, a con artist. She's a
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: con artist in politics. That's the only difference that is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: the game. And the same way with this guy's like, well,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: we're on Survivor island. Really, Joe Scarborough hasn't been a
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: conservative and ten years, maybe longer, you're not on an
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: island with Republicans. You're a hardcore lefty. That is That's it.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Just admit it. Be man enough to say that that
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: is what you are. Tim Ryan on fetnol epidemic. We
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: need a strong border, we need to be tough on China.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Democrats are not gonna like this. Tim Ryan is Senate
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: Ohio Senate nominee, and this is what he had to say. Listen,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: too close to Ryan's heart is affecting many Americans the
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: US drug epidemic, with over five thousand Ohioans fatally overdosing
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one alone. There's not only the need
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: to prevent the inflow of drugs, but to implement comprehensive
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: mental health legislation that scares you to death. You know
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: this rainbow fen and all. Now that we're hearing so
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: much about, you try one of those things, now you
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: get end your life. And it's not fair. I wish
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: it wasn't that way, but those are the conversations we've
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: had our kids, and I think a lot of other
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: parents are having now too. It needs to be a
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: whole of government approach. You need, you know, you do
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: need a strong border. You need to know who's coming
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: in out of your country. You got to be tough
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: on China where the fent and all arises and comes
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: through Mexico and this process. But there's also the mental
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: health and the trauma, and I think really organizing our
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: schools around trauma informed care. We've learned so much through
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: adverse childhood experiences and all the research done on how
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: that impacts their future, and so how do we have
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: a smart government, a nimble government that takes this data
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and all this research and immediately injects it into the
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: way we're organizing our education system. I think that's the
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: most comprehensive way. And you can't ignore food, like the
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: connection now between diet and mental health, diet and depression,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: got bacteria. I mean, we've got to be smart about
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: this stuff. We're about this Mental Health Act that got
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: passed through the House. Is let me just stap there.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing how right before the dude realizes he's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: probably to lose. A dude that's a Democrat comes out
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and he's like, man, I'm gonna go for an open border.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: This is a guy, an American politician serving in the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: House of Representative since two thousand and three, who has
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: not been in favor of a secure border. He's a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: member of the Democratic Party. He is Representative Ohio's thirteen
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: congressional district since twenty thirteen, and before that he Representative
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: ohio seventeenth congressional district. He's a forty nine year old
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: who's not been tough on crime, who's not been tough
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: on drugs, who has not been tough on the border
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: when he could have done it every year since twenty thirteen.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: But now he's begging for your help. He's running for Senate.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: He's like, I need your help, please donate now. And
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: I'm in favor of a secure border because he realizes
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: that he's being left behind by the people in Ohio.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: What you just heard, by the way, was on MSNBC.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Why are they doing this on MSNBC. I never gave
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: up Ohio, right, he says, I'm all about Ohio. I
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: love Ohio. We've got to have a secure boarder. Then
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: why didn't you vote in favor of it? Why didn't
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: you advocate for this in your voting record, because you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: have not. I mean, this is this is just as stupid.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Is the newest information that's come out where they were
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: asking doctor Fauchi. By the way, in this exit interview
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: they call it they they started asking him about the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: schools and taking the kids out schools. He said he
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: never advocated for that. That wasn't his thing. Yeah it was,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: it absolutely was. Don't tell me now that you, doctor Fauci,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: were not in favor of keeping our kids out of schools.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: He said, that wasn't him. You can't just rewrite history
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and now act like it wasn't you when it clearly
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: was you. I mean, holy blank, Fouchi said, this is
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: gonna be bad. Fauchi recalls bad feeling prior to Trump briefing.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: This is now how he's talking about this. It's all
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: rewriting history and the media's letting him do it. Fauci
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: was often at Donald Trump's side at White House COVID briefings,
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: occasionally contradicting the president he served, but he decided to
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: skip the briefing that became the most surreal of all,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: where were you when President Trump floated the idea of
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: injecting disinfectant? And then then I see the disinfectant that
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: knocks it up in a minute, one minute, And is
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: there a way we can do something like that? I
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: was at the White House, yet I didn't want to
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: go up on there with this because I had a
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: bad feeling about when Homeland Security brought this guy in.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: He briefed the people in the situation room beforehand, and
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: as soon as I heard it, I said, Holy, this
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: is gonna go bad. Why don't I bow out of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: this one. What would you have done if you had
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: been standing by the president when he said that, Well,
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: I would have to have said, hey, I would have
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: done this time out. Yeah, fac I love it right?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Oh oh my gosh. By the way, he didn't actually
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: say and inject it in your veins, but whatever, who cares? Right?
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci also rewriting history on the school saying he
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: has Anthony Fauci's plan to protect schools during the next pandemic.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: He says, more masks and more mandated vaccine. Was it
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: a mistake in so many states and so many localities
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: to see schools closed as long as they were. I
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: think in some case I don't want to use the
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: word mistake, John, because if I do, it gets taken
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: out of the context that you're asking me the question
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: on it was too high a price. Yeah, I would
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: say that what we should realize and have realized, that
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: there will be deleterious collateral sequences when you do something
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: like that. This idea that this virus doesn't afflict children
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: is not. So it does. We've lost close to fifteen
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: hundred kids so far, but much less than the older population. Obvious. Oh,
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: of course, but you shouldn't discount that it does affect children.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: So it isn't without consequences. If you go back and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I ask anybody to go back over the number of
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: times that I've said we've got to do everything we
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: can to keep the schools open, no one plays that clip.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: They always come back and say Fauci was responsible for
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: closing schools. I had nothing to do. I mean, let's
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: get down to the facts. You're not the head of
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: a school board. But a lot of schools we were closed.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of remote learning. They went on
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: for in some in some jurisdictions for the better part
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: of two years. Exactly. We've seen the impact. We've seen
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: what's happened in terms of lower reading scores and scores,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and who knows the psychological impact. I mean it was
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: a steep cost. It was. The most important thing is
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to protect the children. So is there a lesson here
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: future pandemics That one thing is more of a focus on.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: That is how can we protect the kids and get
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: them back to school exactly. And the way you do
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: that you get the people who interact with the children
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to be vaccinated and masked. You provide ventilation into schools,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: You try to keep them in the school safely. The
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: most important thing is to protect the children. So what
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: do you have done anything differently? No, except more mandated
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: vaccines for your kids. That's what he's saying, right, It's
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: all about the mandated vaccines. We just seem to have
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: more your kids vaccine in the future. That's the difference.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: They still haven't learned, by the way, that you should
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: have the right to decide what happens with your kids
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: and your vaccines. They just want this to happen and
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: you're just going to have to deal with it. Rick
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Scott now demanding action on election on electric vehicles that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: have transformed into ticking time bombs by a hurricane. Ian
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: four officials are expressing growing concerns about fires involving electric
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: vehicles such as Tesla cars in the wake of the
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: hurricane that just hit. Senator Rick Scott is demanding action
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: for both the Department of Transportation and vehicle makers as
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the ticking time bombs created by saltwater interacting with these
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: electric vehicle batteries is draining the resources of first responders.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: In a letter, Senator Scott wrote, the emerging threat is
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: forced local fire departments to divert resources away from hurricane
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: recovery to control and contain these dangerous fires. Senator Rick
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Scott is now demanding action from the Transportation Department and
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: automakers including Tesla, Ford GM, and others after many fires
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: involving electric vehicles transpired in connection with a hurricane. According
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: to new reports coming out from fire departments, they are
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: saying it's just to become a massive issue. This emerging
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: threat is forced local fire departments to divot divert resources
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: away from hurricane recovery to control and contain these dangerous fires.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: Car fires from electric vehicles have proven to be extremely
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: dangerous and last for a prolonged period of time, taking
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: in many cases up to six hours to burn out.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Senator Scott joins Florida Chief Financial Officer and State Fire
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Marshal who recently sent a letter to the National Highway
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Safety Traffic Administration requesting information on the fire risk created
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: by saltwater mixing with batteries of electric vehicles. The State
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Fire Marshal's office is in need of immediate guidance regarding
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: the response to fires produced by evs that are comprised
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: compromised as a result of the lithium batteries corroding from
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: exposure to salt water. Moreover, State Fire Marshal added that
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: two housing four to have burned down on Monday as
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: a result of electric vehicles catching fire. Already, electric vehicles
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: were seen catching fire in Florida after becoming water logged
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: during the hurricane, giving firefighters a new challenge they haven't
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: faced before. The National Highway Safety Administration says it is
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: aware of the multiple fires involving Tesla vehicles, according to
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: the letter obtained by Bloomberg. In its reply, they said
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: the lithium ion vehicle batteries fires have been observed both
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: rapidly igniting and igniting several weeks after battery damage has occurred.
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: In a separate statement to Bloomberg, they said the fires
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: involving electric vehicles pose unique challenges for firefighters. Meanwhile, the
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: Biden administration aims to quickly expand electric vehicles usage across
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: the country by having fifty percent of all new cars
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: sold in the US be electric by twenty thirty and
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: other Democratic lawmakers are seeking to make EV's mandatory. In August,
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: California and announced that all new cars sold in the
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: state must be zero admissions by twenty thirty five. It's
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: not going very well if you look at it from
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that perspective. On another front, ahead of the election, Michigan
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Republicans have now introduced a bill defining gender transition procedures
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: on miners as first degree child abuse. Republican lawmakers in
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Michigan introduced a bill that would classify allowing a minor
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: to undergo gender transition procedures as first degree child abuse.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: The House Bill sixty four fifty four states that a
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: person could be found guilty a first degree child abuse
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: if they knowingly are intentionally consent to, obtains, or assists
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: with a gender transition procedure for any minor. The legislation
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: defines a person as a parent, guardian, physician, or any
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: other licensed medical professional. If that person has found guilty
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: of first degree child abuse, they could face a lifetime sentence.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: The legislation was brought forward by five Republican state representatives
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: who said enough is enough. According to The Hill newspaper,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: one of those men believes it is logically incoherent to
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: provide puberty blockers or conduct gender transition surgeries for children
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: when they cannot even consent to sex or are legally
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: prohibited from purchasing certain items. People are abusing these children.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: The idea that we would be making potentially life altering
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: changes to eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old kids
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: when it is illegal for them to have sex is insane.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're not responsible enough to smoke a cigarette
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: until they're twenty one. Republicans say they're optimistic that other
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Republican colleagues will support the legislation. He even believes that
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: some of his Democratic colleagues agree with the bill's content
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: but acknowledge it would be hesitant to support it publicly
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: because they're worried about losing the LGBTQIA plus plus plus community.
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: The Michigan GOP holds a three seat advantage in the House.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: The legislation was also passed or similar legislation was also
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: passing Alabama this year that makes it a felony to
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: provide puberty blockers and other hormone treatments to children under
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the age of nineteen. Arizona has also passed legislation prohibiting
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: irreversible gender reassignment surgery for those under eighteen, regardless of
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: whether there's parental consent. However, it's not considered a felony
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: if an individual has found guilty of violating the measure.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: This is going to be a very interesting story to
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: see how it develops, and obviously we will keep you updated.
