Democratic Party in Turmoil plus Activist Judges vs. Trump · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: There is a major revolt happening right now within the
0:04
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, and we are now witnessing several different members
0:09
Speaker 1: of the Democratic leadership who are saying we're out. Senator
0:13
Speaker 1: Dick Durbin of Illinois, he is the Senate second ranking Democrat.
0:19
Speaker 1: He announced that he will not seek reelection in twenty
0:21
Speaker 1: twenty six, concluding a Congressional career spanning over four decades.
0:27
Speaker 2: Now, why is this happening right now?
0:30
Speaker 1: Well, the way that CNN described it, and again this
0:32
Speaker 1: is CNN. They said that it's total chaos within the
0:36
Speaker 1: Democratic Party, and the American people are saying, we don't
0:39
Speaker 1: like what you're doing. Here is CNN in their own
0:42
Speaker 1: words about what's happening in the Democratic Party.
0:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, this I think is a revolt, a revolt that
0:49
Speaker 3: is going on within the Democratic Party right now. Democrats
0:52
Speaker 3: and their leaders, I mean, take a look nationally, hello,
0:55
Speaker 3: Democrats on dem leaders in Congress, the belief that they
0:58
Speaker 3: will do the right thing when it comes to the economy.
1:00
Speaker 3: Last year, at this time, eighty percent believe that the
1:03
Speaker 3: Democratic leaders in Congress would do the right thing when
1:05
Speaker 3: it comes to the economy. And keep in mind this
1:07
Speaker 3: as Democrats look at where we are now that number.
1:09
Speaker 4: Has been slashed in half to just thirty nine percent.
1:13
Speaker 2: Holy Toledo. That is the lowest.
1:15
Speaker 4: Number by far in Gallup polling. The lowest previous was
1:19
Speaker 4: just sixty percent, which is twenty one points higher than this.
1:22
Speaker 4: Democrats hate, hate, hate, hate what they're congressional leaders in
1:27
Speaker 4: Washington are doing right now on the key issue of
1:29
Speaker 4: the day, the economy, and their confidence has fallen through
1:32
Speaker 4: the floor.
1:32
Speaker 2: Mister Berman, all.
1:33
Speaker 5: Right, Chuck Schumber is the Senate Democratic leader right now?
1:36
Speaker 5: How we're feelings about him, particularly in New York.
1:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go to the state of New York. It's
1:41
Speaker 3: what's always on my mind. Right we're in the state
1:44
Speaker 3: of New York right now. New York Democrats on Chuck
1:46
Speaker 3: Schumer view him favorably.
1:48
Speaker 2: In December of twenty twenty.
1:50
Speaker 3: Four, that was just a few months ago, it was
1:52
Speaker 3: seventy three percent. Look at where that number has fallen
1:55
Speaker 3: to in just a few months. It is now down
1:57
Speaker 3: to just fifty two percent. That is the lower I
2:00
Speaker 3: could ever find and see on a college on how
2:02
Speaker 3: democrats in Chuck Schumer's home state knew him. And keep
2:05
Speaker 3: in mind, if you're thinking about a primary challenge. It
2:07
Speaker 3: would be a few years away. But Alexandiocosto Cortes's favorable
2:10
Speaker 3: writing among Democrats is considerably higher in the sixties, so
2:14
Speaker 3: he is doing quite.
2:15
Speaker 2: Poorly in his own homestead of New York.
2:18
Speaker 3: I never thought I'd see the day in which just
2:19
Speaker 3: fifty two percent of New York Democrats or you Chuck
2:22
Speaker 3: Schumer favorably.
2:22
Speaker 2: It's almost unfathomable. Yeah, but by the way, let's just
2:25
Speaker 2: stop there.
2:25
Speaker 1: And if you didn't enjoy that report I just played
2:28
Speaker 1: for you, then something's wrong with you, because this is
2:30
Speaker 1: CNN telling you that the Democratic Party is imploding. But
2:34
Speaker 1: what is a takeaway there is this when you look
2:37
Speaker 1: at Chuck Schumer, he's a hardcore Democrat. He's been a
2:41
Speaker 1: hard core Democrat his entire life. I notice I didn't
2:44
Speaker 1: say as a Marxist. I didn't say as a socialist.
2:47
Speaker 1: I didn't say he's a communist. And notice what was
2:50
Speaker 1: said at the very end that he's got a bad
2:53
Speaker 1: favorable and AOC has a better favorable in New York
2:57
Speaker 1: than he does. Now, what does this mean? Means a
3:00
Speaker 1: couple of things. One, the Democratic Party is basically moving
3:05
Speaker 1: on from Democrats to actual declared communists and socialists, and
3:11
Speaker 1: so Chuck Schumer and these others that have been basically
3:13
Speaker 1: taking care of themselves and getting rich. The Nancy Pelosi
3:16
Speaker 1: is the Chuck Schumer who've just been hoaring out their
3:19
Speaker 1: their job in Congress to make themselves and their friends wealthy.
3:23
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party is like angry at them, So what
3:26
Speaker 1: are they replacing them with? Apparently they're wanting to replace
3:31
Speaker 1: them with socialists and communists and Marxists, like they're done
3:34
Speaker 1: with America. Okay, like they're straight up done with America.
3:39
Speaker 1: And I'm going to play for you what Dick Durbin
3:41
Speaker 1: said about his retirement to prove my point in a second.
3:43
Speaker 1: So hold on, but let me also tell you about
3:46
Speaker 1: my friends over at Patriot Mobile. You've heard me talk
3:48
Speaker 1: about Patriot Mobile.
3:49
Speaker 2: For a while.
3:50
Speaker 1: You probably already know that for years they've stood in
3:53
Speaker 1: the gap for every America that believes that freedom is
3:57
Speaker 1: worth fighting for.
3:58
Speaker 2: They are truly a company this conservative.
4:01
Speaker 1: So let me ask you this question, why have you
4:04
Speaker 1: not switched to Patriot Mobile yet?
4:06
Speaker 6: Now?
4:06
Speaker 1: If the answer is no, I haven't, then then let
4:08
Speaker 1: me talk about some of the misconceptions A lot of
4:10
Speaker 1: people say, well, I don't want to switch because I'm
4:12
Speaker 1: worried about coverage, don't worry. Patriot Mobile is one of
4:16
Speaker 1: the few cell phone providers that actually operate on all
4:19
Speaker 1: three of the major networks in this country. The fact is,
4:23
Speaker 1: if you have cell phone service in this country today,
4:25
Speaker 1: then you're gonna get exceptional or even better service with
4:28
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile.
4:29
Speaker 2: Period.
4:30
Speaker 1: They also offer a coverage guarantee that others can't. Or
4:33
Speaker 1: maybe you haven't joined Patriot Mobile because you think making
4:36
Speaker 1: the switch is painful, I've done it.
4:38
Speaker 2: I'm here to tell you it's easy. In twenty twenty five.
4:41
Speaker 1: With technology, you don't even need to go to a
4:43
Speaker 1: retail store.
4:44
Speaker 2: You don't have to wait in line.
4:45
Speaker 1: You simply call Patriot Mobiles one hundred percent US based
4:49
Speaker 1: team from the comfort of your home while you're driving
4:52
Speaker 1: your office, and they'll activate you in minutes. So why
4:57
Speaker 1: not call them? Well, maybe say I'm in a contract.
4:59
Speaker 1: No problem. Patriot Mobile has a buyout program that covers
5:02
Speaker 1: up to five hundred dollars per device.
5:04
Speaker 2: And you keep your same number, keep your same.
5:06
Speaker 1: Cell phone, or upgrade to a new one, whatever you
5:09
Speaker 1: want to do.
5:10
Speaker 2: Now here's the best part.
5:12
Speaker 1: Every time you pay your bill, about five percent of
5:14
Speaker 1: your bill goes back to support conservative causes that stand
5:17
Speaker 1: for our First or Second Amendment rights, stand for our
5:20
Speaker 1: faith and our family and our freedom.
5:22
Speaker 2: So when you make a call or text, you know you're.
5:25
Speaker 1: Standing with a company that's actually making a difference when
5:28
Speaker 1: you pay your bill. So go to Patriotmobile dot com
5:32
Speaker 1: slash ferguson. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. Or call
5:37
Speaker 1: them nine to seven to two Patriot, nine seven to
5:41
Speaker 1: two Patriot. When you use the promo code ferguson, you're
5:43
Speaker 1: gonna get a free month of service, plus the buyout
5:46
Speaker 1: program covers up to five hundred dollars per device. Patriotmobile
5:50
Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot
5:53
Speaker 1: call them today. All right, So let's go back to
5:55
Speaker 1: Dick Durbin and what I was saying there. You hear
5:58
Speaker 1: the CNN describe what's happening. This in the Democratic Party
6:01
Speaker 1: is a revolt from within the Democratic Party. And this
6:04
Speaker 1: is what I've been saying for a while. The Democratic
6:07
Speaker 1: Party is dead. There are a bunch of socialists, Marxist
6:10
Speaker 1: and communists that are lying and masquerading as Democrats. So
6:14
Speaker 1: you go back to Dick Durbin number two and command
6:16
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. He's saying, I'm out of here. I'm
6:19
Speaker 1: not running for reelection. And MSNBC asked him and here's
6:23
Speaker 1: what he said.
6:24
Speaker 5: A Senator yesterday, after you made your announcement that you
6:26
Speaker 5: would not be seeking reelection, there are a number of
6:28
Speaker 5: Democrats who privately really applauded your choice, saying that it
6:31
Speaker 5: was something the right thing to do, to step aside
6:34
Speaker 5: and perhaps let a younger generation of politicians step to
6:37
Speaker 5: the forefront. We know the idea of Democrat elected officials
6:41
Speaker 5: and age has been a hot topic in recent years.
6:45
Speaker 5: Do you hope do you agree with that thinking? Do
6:47
Speaker 5: you think it is time now for younger politicians, the
6:51
Speaker 5: next generation to come forward?
6:53
Speaker 2: Well?
6:53
Speaker 7: I think this it's more complex. It is not just
6:57
Speaker 7: a question of a number what your age is. Look
6:59
Speaker 7: at Bernie sand for God's sake, still drawing thousands and
7:02
Speaker 7: thousands of people out for rallies, and he's a few
7:06
Speaker 7: years older than I am. The bottom line is are
7:08
Speaker 7: you competent? Can you still do the job? That's the
7:11
Speaker 7: question the voter should ask. But should a new generation
7:14
Speaker 7: be interested in public service?
7:15
Speaker 2: You bet?
7:17
Speaker 7: I've spent my time in office trying to encourage younger
7:20
Speaker 7: people to get involved.
7:22
Speaker 8: Senator Durban, it's Ali Vitally. I wonder if I can
7:25
Speaker 8: pick up on something you just said, this idea of
7:27
Speaker 8: are you competent? Are you able to do this job
7:29
Speaker 8: in the Senate? As you see this push from the
7:32
Speaker 8: grassroots that lamiir is talking about here, do you think
7:35
Speaker 8: enough of your colleagues are asking themselves those fundamental questions
7:38
Speaker 8: about if they can continue to serve.
7:41
Speaker 2: I think so.
7:42
Speaker 7: I think if you're honest about yourself and your reputation,
7:46
Speaker 7: you want to leave when you can still walk out
7:48
Speaker 7: the front door and not be carried out the back door.
7:51
Speaker 7: And I've said, whatever your interest may be, whatever issue
7:54
Speaker 7: you want to focus on in Congress, in the Senate,
7:57
Speaker 7: if you stick around a couple terms, your miner is
7:59
Speaker 7: going to be aging. You can see it, you can
8:02
Speaker 7: observe it, and you have to make that choice. That
8:05
Speaker 7: decision I've made mine.
8:07
Speaker 2: I love it. He's like, I've made my decision. I'm
8:09
Speaker 2: out of here.
8:10
Speaker 1: I've made my decision, and I want to want to
8:13
Speaker 1: leave when you can still walk out the front door
8:14
Speaker 1: and not be carried out the back door. Now that
8:16
Speaker 1: may be a little bit of insight from him looking
8:19
Speaker 1: at what happened with Joe Biden right where it's like
8:22
Speaker 1: the guy to where he was, he's disgraced, he leaves office,
8:25
Speaker 1: he's incompetent, he was embarrassment. But I also think it's
8:29
Speaker 1: a little bit different than that. Dick Durbin realizes there's
8:32
Speaker 1: a very good chance he could lose his seat after
8:35
Speaker 1: being there for forty years in Congress, and so he
8:37
Speaker 1: doesn't want to lose. He wants to walk out like
8:40
Speaker 1: he's some sort of great winner, and he's celebrated when
8:43
Speaker 1: he walks out. I think that's part of the reason
8:46
Speaker 1: why he's doing this. Now, now you look at the
8:48
Speaker 1: Democrats in this disaster that we're talking about, which is
8:52
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, and they're.
8:54
Speaker 2: Talking about, well, their future is AOC.
8:57
Speaker 1: They still have to have some sort of plan, all right,
9:00
Speaker 1: going to have some sort of agenda item or some
9:03
Speaker 1: way to stop Donald Trump. Well we know what that is.
9:08
Speaker 1: It is Law Fair two point zero. And I'm going
9:12
Speaker 1: to explain that to you coming up right after this
9:15
Speaker 1: in the Ben Ferguson Show. So what are the Democrats
9:19
Speaker 1: gonna do now when they are in shambles. How do
9:22
Speaker 1: they fight Donald Trump? That's the question you should be asking.
9:26
Speaker 2: As the elder.
9:27
Speaker 1: Statesmen are leaving, you got to say, all right, well,
9:29
Speaker 1: what's next. It's actually very simple. They are now relying
9:35
Speaker 1: on judges, activists, woke radical judges to stop the Republicans
9:42
Speaker 1: and specifically Donald Trump, or delay them in any capacity
9:47
Speaker 1: with radical rulings. I'm going to give you three examples
9:51
Speaker 1: of the last twenty four hours. All right, Donald Trump's
9:55
Speaker 1: administration must facilitate the return of a set second man
10:00
Speaker 1: they claim was wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador.
10:04
Speaker 1: Now I say they're saying this, who is they? It's
10:08
Speaker 1: a federal judge. It is now deepening a standoff between
10:13
Speaker 1: the courts and the White House over the president's immigration policy.
10:17
Speaker 1: District Judge Stephanie Gallagher is a woman who says that
10:23
Speaker 1: a twenty year old Venezuelan, along with quote multiple other migrants,
10:29
Speaker 1: was protected by a twenty twenty four class action settlement
10:34
Speaker 1: prohibiting the deportation migrants who arrived as unaccompany miners until
10:38
Speaker 1: their asylum claims are fully adjudicated. Now the case comes
10:42
Speaker 1: amid a quote, mounting political row over the wrongful deportation,
10:47
Speaker 1: they claim of Gamar Obrega Garcia. That's that Salvadorian man
10:52
Speaker 1: who was returned to his native country and still in
10:55
Speaker 1: prison there. Now, the part about this story that I
10:58
Speaker 1: still am trying to get my head around is the
11:01
Speaker 1: fact that Albrego Garcia, who is a guy that was
11:05
Speaker 1: a tain of Maryland, last month expelled El Salvador, along
11:08
Speaker 1: with two hundred and thirty eight Venezuelans and twenty two
11:11
Speaker 1: fellow Salvadorians who were deported shortly after Trump invoked a
11:15
Speaker 1: wartime authority, which, by the way, the president has the
11:19
Speaker 1: ability to do this. And so what a Democrats say,
11:22
Speaker 1: We're gonna turn these gang members into our poster child.
11:25
Speaker 1: We're gonna call him a Maryland dad, a Marylyn father,
11:27
Speaker 1: a Marylynd husband, even though the guy his own wife
11:30
Speaker 1: had a protective order against him.
11:32
Speaker 2: For goodness sakes.
11:33
Speaker 1: Now, what's interesting about this play is the Vice President
11:37
Speaker 1: Jady Vance was asked about it today. He was on
11:40
Speaker 1: the tarmac about to get on his plane. You'll hear
11:42
Speaker 1: that background noise. Listen to what Jadie Vance said about
11:45
Speaker 1: Albrego Garcia in one of the best takedowns of the
11:49
Speaker 1: narrative in the lie of the left and the Democratic
11:51
Speaker 1: Party with the media are abregol.
11:54
Speaker 3: Lu Garcia's wife has been very vocal about how she
11:57
Speaker 3: doesn't think he's getting due process and she now also
12:00
Speaker 3: fears for her state.
12:01
Speaker 2: Did you have a message to her specifically, Well, I
12:04
Speaker 2: don't have a message to his wife.
12:06
Speaker 6: I mean, look, I just disagree with the idea that
12:08
Speaker 6: he hasn't been offered due process. He had a couple
12:10
Speaker 6: of immigration hearings, he had a valid deportation order. I
12:14
Speaker 6: think this idea that somehow that we couldn't deport an
12:17
Speaker 6: MS thirteen gang member, and he was an MS thirteen
12:19
Speaker 6: gang member.
12:20
Speaker 2: Is preposterous. And I think there's actually.
12:22
Speaker 6: A deeper issue going on, which is that you see
12:25
Speaker 6: some radical judges at the district court level who are
12:28
Speaker 6: trying to layer so much quote unquote process on top
12:32
Speaker 6: of the immigration system that it makes it impossible to function.
12:36
Speaker 6: We have for twenty million illegal aliens in the United
12:38
Speaker 6: States of America. Are we not allowed to deport them?
12:41
Speaker 6: Because if we're not allowed to deport them, then what
12:43
Speaker 6: these district courts are saying is fundamentally they reject the
12:47
Speaker 6: will of the American people. As it was expressed in
12:50
Speaker 6: November of twenty twenty four.
12:51
Speaker 2: We just reject that.
12:53
Speaker 6: I believe the American people elected President Trump to do
12:55
Speaker 6: many jobs, but perhaps the most important job was to
12:58
Speaker 6: bring down the number of ELEC immigration in this country.
13:01
Speaker 6: That's what he's trying to do. We're going to keep
13:03
Speaker 6: on doing it.
13:05
Speaker 2: Now.
13:05
Speaker 1: You listen to the Vice president there and he's like,
13:08
Speaker 1: we're not backing down. We know we're right, we know
13:11
Speaker 1: we're in charge, we know we have the law on
13:14
Speaker 1: our side, and we know that activists are going to
13:16
Speaker 1: do everything they can to stop us. Like, we understand
13:18
Speaker 1: all that. It doesn't mean that we're going to back
13:21
Speaker 1: down for the American people who clearly voted for this
13:25
Speaker 1: type of leadership in the elections that happened just several
13:30
Speaker 1: months ago. There's also something else here that's really interesting.
13:35
Speaker 1: It's the Democratic Party is now relying solely on law
13:39
Speaker 1: fare to get Donald Trump's agenda stopped. They are going
13:44
Speaker 1: to do everything they can to find their friends in
13:46
Speaker 1: the court system, and many of them got their jobs
13:48
Speaker 1: through Democrats to fight and to stop what Donald Trump
13:53
Speaker 1: is trying to do. I mentioned there was three different rulings,
13:56
Speaker 1: So let's start with another one. A US judge blocked
14:00
Speaker 1: quote aspects of Trump's agenda on voting, immigration, and DEI
14:05
Speaker 1: in education. Quote as a number of rulings have come
14:08
Speaker 1: in this afternoon with federal judges blocking several aspects of
14:12
Speaker 1: Trump's agenda that he tried to enact via via vehicles
14:16
Speaker 1: such as executive orders. Here's a round up the New
14:20
Speaker 1: York Times rights of those developments.
14:23
Speaker 2: Quote.
14:24
Speaker 1: A judge block Donald Trump's efforts to add a proof
14:27
Speaker 1: of citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form.
14:31
Speaker 2: What a novel idea?
14:32
Speaker 1: You actually have to show who you are before we
14:35
Speaker 1: allow you to vote in twenty twenty five and twenty
14:38
Speaker 1: twenty six, and moving forward like this is.
14:42
Speaker 2: Not a radical idea.
14:43
Speaker 1: It's also an idea that the majority of Americans say
14:47
Speaker 1: they're now in favor of.
14:48
Speaker 2: They don't want their vote.
14:50
Speaker 1: To be canceled out by somebody now at change that
14:54
Speaker 1: he is advocating for.
14:55
Speaker 2: Of course, the left says, no, no, no, we need this loophole.
14:58
Speaker 1: We need to make sure that there's people that can
15:01
Speaker 1: illegally vote that Democrats. By the way, the same people
15:05
Speaker 1: that in local elections want illegal immigrants to be able
15:07
Speaker 1: to vote, and gave out hundreds of thousands of cards
15:13
Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants, so security numbers and millions of driver's
15:17
Speaker 1: license to illegal immigrants to normalize them and get them
15:21
Speaker 1: one step closer to you guessed it, voting in our elections?
15:26
Speaker 2: What does Donald Trump say?
15:28
Speaker 1: He says, only American citizens should be allowed to vote
15:30
Speaker 1: in our elections, and your vote shouldn't be canceled out
15:33
Speaker 1: by an illegal vote, or someone who gets your absent
15:38
Speaker 1: vote and votes on your behalf, or someone that lies
15:40
Speaker 1: about who they are and goes in and votes on
15:42
Speaker 1: your behalf. And we see this happen all the time.
15:44
Speaker 1: We see it happen in every election that is nationwide.
15:48
Speaker 1: Now is it enough to change an election? It doesn't matter.
15:51
Speaker 1: I shouldn't have to worry that somebody is going to
15:55
Speaker 1: take advantage of the system because it's so broken and
15:59
Speaker 1: is going to vote on my behalf. If you've ever
16:01
Speaker 1: talked to somebody where this has happened, and I've talked
16:04
Speaker 1: to several people. In fact, I had friends the last
16:07
Speaker 1: election that went in to vote and they're like, I'm sorry, sir,
16:09
Speaker 1: you already requested an absentee valot and you've already voted
16:13
Speaker 1: and it's like, no, I haven't.
16:14
Speaker 2: I'm here right now, I have not voted absentee.
16:16
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, we're gonna have to do a
16:18
Speaker 1: provisional to do research and we'll try to figure it out.
16:20
Speaker 1: And basically, you know at that point, like your vote's
16:23
Speaker 1: not going to count. And if that's happening to you,
16:25
Speaker 1: imagine how many other people it's actually happening to. So
16:28
Speaker 1: the President said, hey, I want to do this in
16:30
Speaker 1: the court. An activist judge like, no, no, no, you can't.
16:32
Speaker 2: Do that now.
16:34
Speaker 1: A federal judge also said that the Trump administration's attempt
16:39
Speaker 1: to make federal funding to schools conditional on them eliminating
16:44
Speaker 1: any DEI, which is diversity, equity inclusion policy, erodes quote
16:49
Speaker 1: the fundamental principles that separate the United States from quote
16:53
Speaker 1: totalitarian regimes. That is what another activist US District judge said,
17:01
Speaker 1: partially blocking the Department of Education from quote enforcing a
17:04
Speaker 1: memo issued earlier this year that directs any institution that
17:08
Speaker 1: receives federal funding to end discrimination on the basis of
17:12
Speaker 1: race or face funding cuts.
17:15
Speaker 2: Quote.
17:16
Speaker 1: This is a victory, the left says, because they're good.
17:19
Speaker 1: Now we can do DEI all the time, and Donald
17:22
Speaker 1: Trump's gonna have to jump through a bunch of hoops
17:24
Speaker 1: now to try to stop us.
17:25
Speaker 2: So this is again another quote big win for.
17:28
Speaker 1: The left in the court system, finding another radical judge
17:32
Speaker 1: to stop what Donald Trump is doing. Now there's another
17:35
Speaker 1: one here, and that is let's go back to the
17:38
Speaker 1: judge that ordered Trump administration to quote make a good
17:42
Speaker 1: faith request to the government of Salvador to facilitate the
17:46
Speaker 1: return of the second man sent to a prison there
17:49
Speaker 1: back to the US, saying that his deportation quote violated
17:53
Speaker 1: a court settlement. Another activist judge ordered the administration not
17:59
Speaker 1: to deport other illegal immigrants they say claim that they claim.
18:04
Speaker 2: Was covered by this settlement.
18:08
Speaker 1: The activist judge said the sentiment agreement that she approved
18:11
Speaker 1: in November, i'm a half of thousands of migrants required
18:15
Speaker 1: immigration authorities to process the asylum applicants by the twenty
18:20
Speaker 1: year old Venezuelan man identified as Christian before deporting him.
18:24
Speaker 1: The settlement, she said, applied to thousands of migrants who
18:28
Speaker 1: came to the US and accompanied his children and have
18:31
Speaker 1: applied for asylum. Okay, so now I think it's very
18:36
Speaker 1: clear and everybody should understand this that the Democratic Party
18:41
Speaker 1: is foundering.
18:43
Speaker 2: They have no leaders. People are jumping ship.
18:45
Speaker 1: They're filled with Marxists and communists and socialists, and what
18:49
Speaker 1: are they going to do now when they're so unpopular.
18:52
Speaker 1: They're saying, all right, we'll just go to our friends
18:55
Speaker 1: in the courts and we'll go rogue there to try
18:58
Speaker 1: to stop the Trump agenda. This is the whole game plan.
19:03
Speaker 1: This is all they have left. By the way, it's
19:05
Speaker 1: a very powerful.
19:06
Speaker 2: Thing they have. This is why elections matter.
19:08
Speaker 1: This is why judge ships matter, and this is why
19:11
Speaker 1: everyone needs to be paying attention to all of these judges,
19:14
Speaker 1: especially when we have elections that are coming up.
19:17
Speaker 2: This matters, all right.
19:20
Speaker 1: I want to move on to another issue, and if
19:23
Speaker 1: you buy Nike clothes, I really want you to pay
19:27
Speaker 1: attention to what I'm about to tell you because this
19:30
Speaker 1: should make you very angry. We now have evidence that
19:35
Speaker 1: Nike has played a role in transathlete research.
19:42
Speaker 2: This is shocking, and.
19:43
Speaker 1: The whistle is being blown by the tennis legend Martina Navtulova.
19:48
Speaker 1: She's taking aim at Nike for trying to hide it's
19:52
Speaker 1: apparent involvement in research programs concerning transgendered athletes. On Tuesday,
20:00
Speaker 1: Nike refused to say whether it was funding transitor research
20:04
Speaker 1: of any sort. Still, a story over the previous weekend
20:08
Speaker 1: published by The New York Times seems to provide evidence
20:12
Speaker 1: that Nike is financing at least one study of trans
20:16
Speaker 1: athletes being conducted by Joanna Harper, a man who identifies
20:22
Speaker 1: as a woman.
20:24
Speaker 2: Now.
20:24
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Navtulova said it was time to sound the
20:28
Speaker 1: alarm and let people know exactly what your money is
20:31
Speaker 1: going towards when you're buying Nike products. Senator Ted Cruz
20:36
Speaker 1: and I talked about just how shocking this was, and
20:39
Speaker 1: I want you to hear our conversation. All right, Senator,
20:43
Speaker 1: I want to move to this other big issue, and
20:45
Speaker 1: that deals with some really shocking news from a woman,
20:50
Speaker 1: and if you don't know her background, I think it's
20:52
Speaker 1: important to take a moment so people understand who Martina
20:54
Speaker 1: Navatilova is. She is the most decorated woman in women's
20:59
Speaker 1: teams history. The number of Grand Slams that she has
21:03
Speaker 1: won is just incredible. She was one of the very
21:05
Speaker 1: first athletes to ever come out as being gay. She
21:09
Speaker 1: has been a huge advocate in her career for LGBTQ community.
21:16
Speaker 1: But then she stood up to them on men and
21:18
Speaker 1: women's sports and they started to attack her, and she said,
21:22
Speaker 1: I'm not backing down. There is a difference between men
21:25
Speaker 1: and women. It is wrong to allow men to compete
21:28
Speaker 1: with women. She even lost, like she was kicked off
21:31
Speaker 1: of boards and different things that happened in the in
21:34
Speaker 1: the community that she was in. And she I think
21:36
Speaker 1: she was shocked by the intolerance of all of these
21:40
Speaker 1: different radical extremist groups that went after her because she
21:45
Speaker 1: said there is a difference. Well, now she's not backing
21:48
Speaker 1: down again. She is blasting a major company, Nike, over
21:54
Speaker 1: a shocking report that they were actually doing research in
22:00
Speaker 1: in transathlete research at Nike, and she's like, what are
22:04
Speaker 1: you doing.
22:06
Speaker 9: Well, let me say, first of all, you just said
22:08
Speaker 9: a minute ago, Martina Naverertilovra. You said she won a
22:12
Speaker 9: lot of majors. Nobody knows how many. I will say, Ben,
22:15
Speaker 9: there's this thing called the Google that that you know,
22:18
Speaker 9: you have a phone, you can type it in. You
22:21
Speaker 9: actually just have to do Martina in and it comes
22:24
Speaker 9: right up in me the stats, and right from the
22:28
Speaker 9: Google it told me one of the most successful tennis
22:30
Speaker 9: players of all time. She was ranked as the world
22:32
Speaker 9: number one in women's singles for how many weeks? How
22:35
Speaker 9: many weeks do you think you're the tennis player you
22:37
Speaker 9: played tennis at all?
22:37
Speaker 2: Miss? Oh, it's going to be hundreds. I know that,
22:40
Speaker 2: three hundred and thirty two weeks. Bam, there you go.
22:44
Speaker 9: And she won one hundred and sixty seven top level
22:48
Speaker 9: single titles, one hundred and seventy seven doubles titles and
22:52
Speaker 9: including an Open era record of fifty nine major titles,
22:56
Speaker 9: eighteen and singles, thirteen in women's doubles, ten and mixed doubles.
23:00
Speaker 9: And how many Wimbledon singles titles do you think she won?
23:04
Speaker 2: And Wimbledon singles titles? I know this. Hold on, it's
23:07
Speaker 2: a trivia question for me. You can't use nine. It's nine. No, No,
23:11
Speaker 2: it's nine. I'm pretty sure it's nine, am I right?
23:13
Speaker 9: Look at that, Sam Benjamin, Okay, I say you're you're
23:17
Speaker 9: a tennis guy.
23:18
Speaker 2: It is nine.
23:18
Speaker 9: And I didn't know that, but that if Wikipedia is right,
23:22
Speaker 9: then it is nine.
23:23
Speaker 1: So so, and here's here's another tidbit for you. The
23:27
Speaker 1: French Open's coming up, and and do you know me?
23:29
Speaker 1: She won?
23:29
Speaker 2: There no idea she won two. I didn't read that
23:33
Speaker 2: far in Wikipedia.
23:34
Speaker 1: No, no, so she won two there, but that was like
23:36
Speaker 1: her hardest service to win on clay.
23:39
Speaker 2: She does not like clay, and it was cio clay.
23:42
Speaker 9: You should be impressed that I knew the French Open
23:44
Speaker 9: was clay.
23:45
Speaker 1: Exactly, and so she was the one that completed the
23:48
Speaker 1: Grand Slam because she won the Australian Open. I want
23:50
Speaker 1: to say three or four times, French Open twice, Wimbledon nine,
23:53
Speaker 1: and I think she won the US Open. I want
23:55
Speaker 1: to say it was four or five times. It was incredible.
23:58
Speaker 1: But here's a tidbit about her, and this this should
24:01
Speaker 1: impress everybody because when she was in the middle of
24:04
Speaker 1: all this winning, she was stripped of her citizenship when
24:09
Speaker 1: she was seventeen or eighteen and asked the United States
24:12
Speaker 1: for political asylum. And so not only was she winning,
24:16
Speaker 1: but she was in the middle of Chessclovakia when it happened.
24:20
Speaker 2: She was a chess citizen and all of this was
24:23
Speaker 2: going on.
24:24
Speaker 1: So you talk about a woman that was incredible and
24:28
Speaker 1: focused and was able to pull all this off. It
24:32
Speaker 1: tells you about how big of a leader she was.
24:35
Speaker 1: And I think that is saying we should just remind
24:37
Speaker 1: people of when you talk about her leading on this
24:40
Speaker 1: issue and coming out and then yet saying it's wrong
24:43
Speaker 1: for men to play in women's sports, like she's always
24:46
Speaker 1: been a leader on these types of issues.
24:48
Speaker 9: Well, and listen, I will say, Martina and Evertslover, she's
24:51
Speaker 9: not a conservative, she's not a person of the right,
24:54
Speaker 9: but she is one of the greatest women athletes to
24:57
Speaker 9: have ever lived. And she's shown real courage saying, look,
25:00
Speaker 9: if men compete in women's sports, men have significant physiological advantages,
25:06
Speaker 9: and it's not fair, it's not right. I mean, she recognized,
25:09
Speaker 9: even as one of the greatest women to have ever played,
25:11
Speaker 9: that if she was playing against Pete Sampras, if she
25:14
Speaker 9: was playing against you know, any of the top male players,
25:19
Speaker 9: that that it would not be fair and she would
25:22
Speaker 9: not stand a chance. And that that's the simple reality.
25:26
Speaker 9: How much faster so you played Division one tennis, how
25:30
Speaker 9: much faster does does a male college player hit a
25:34
Speaker 9: serve as compared to a top level female college player.
25:38
Speaker 1: When I was playing college, if you were a women
25:42
Speaker 1: at one of the top women in college hitting a
25:44
Speaker 1: big serve, you were probably one hundred to one hundred
25:48
Speaker 1: and three four five miles an hour, and that would
25:50
Speaker 1: be like less than one percent of women in college
25:53
Speaker 1: at that time doing that men.
25:54
Speaker 9: So that's on the top level, top level, the fastest
25:58
Speaker 9: serves women are hitting.
25:59
Speaker 2: Now, how about how about.
26:00
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of them were probably eighty to
26:02
Speaker 1: eighty five. Eighty six miles an hour would probably been
26:05
Speaker 1: the average then, and men the average was probably one
26:09
Speaker 1: hundred and five to one hundred and ten was the average.
26:11
Speaker 2: I mean, it's significant difference. And how about the top level,
26:15
Speaker 2: the very well top.
26:16
Speaker 1: Top So the fast serve I ever hit in my life,
26:19
Speaker 1: I think was one. I want to say it was
26:21
Speaker 1: one twenty five, one twenty six.
26:24
Speaker 2: Yeah. That's not a tennis ball, that's a bullet. Yeah,
26:27
Speaker 2: I mean it did. I mean there's a huge difference.
26:29
Speaker 1: You had that extra thirty miles on top of what
26:31
Speaker 1: like where the women were the men?
26:32
Speaker 9: It's night and day, okay, And I'm going to say this,
26:34
Speaker 9: I don't mean to be disrespectful. I mean, you were
26:36
Speaker 9: a good college tennis player, but you weren't one of
26:39
Speaker 9: the very top men in the country.
26:40
Speaker 1: Correct, Yeah, no, yeah, one hundred percent. I mean the
26:42
Speaker 1: guys that were hitting the big serves. I remember one
26:44
Speaker 1: time practicing with Andy Roddick and Andy was hitting one
26:48
Speaker 1: thirty seven, one forties. Wow, John Isner, buddy, Mine, he's
26:52
Speaker 1: he I think he has the fastest serve on record.
26:55
Speaker 3: He was.
26:55
Speaker 1: I want to say it was one forty seven. Uh,
26:58
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly, I mean it's there's fifty percent more.
27:03
Speaker 9: One seven is fifty percent more than you said, Like
27:06
Speaker 9: the top women college athletes would be serving about one
27:09
Speaker 9: hundred or one hundred and two, correct. I mean that's
27:12
Speaker 9: that's why Martina Nabergchelow has been so clear saying this
27:15
Speaker 9: is wildly Unfairwell, what she did this week is she
27:18
Speaker 9: called out Nike, and this is a bizarre story. It
27:21
Speaker 9: is a story published in The New York Times that
27:24
Speaker 9: laid out evidence that Nike is financing a study of
27:27
Speaker 9: trans athletes and a study of trans athletes that that
27:33
Speaker 9: was called out online on x by Women's sportswear company
27:38
Speaker 9: executive Jennifer Say, who went on social media and said,
27:42
Speaker 9: I'm still stunned by this. Nike is funding a study
27:46
Speaker 9: that disfigured young boys to understand if they can be
27:50
Speaker 9: physically impaired enough to compete with girls without significant quote
27:56
Speaker 9: retained male advantage, why is a sneaker brand and doing
28:01
Speaker 9: medical experiments on children? And Martina and Abertarlova retweeted that
28:08
Speaker 9: she said, Joanna Harper is going too far as is Nike,
28:11
Speaker 9: needless to say, and she calls out Nike, same company
28:15
Speaker 9: that doctor Allison Felix for being pregnant. So she left
28:19
Speaker 9: and formed her own company Safe. So thanks for nothing, Nike.
28:24
Speaker 9: And I got to say, look, there are a lot
28:26
Speaker 9: of issues where the left has completely left.
28:30
Speaker 2: The American people behind.
28:31
Speaker 9: Sanctuary cities, embracing voter fraud, open borders, supporting illegal immigrants
28:38
Speaker 9: and gang members, and wanting more gang members brought to
28:40
Speaker 9: this country. All of those are extreme. But I don't
28:43
Speaker 9: know that there is an issue that is more out
28:46
Speaker 9: of the mainstream and yet more required by elected Democrats
28:51
Speaker 9: then demanding that men compete against and in women's sports
28:55
Speaker 9: and boys compete in girls sports.
28:58
Speaker 2: And it is.
29:01
Speaker 9: It was a major issue in twenty twenty four in
29:03
Speaker 9: the election.
29:04
Speaker 2: President Trump used the issue.
29:05
Speaker 9: I used the issue in my reelection campaign, and I
29:09
Speaker 9: got to say, Senate races across the country used the issue,
29:12
Speaker 9: and the American people said enough is enough.
29:14
Speaker 2: And what's interesting all right.
29:16
Speaker 9: So in my reelection, when I was running ads against
29:20
Speaker 9: my opponent because he had voted repeatedly in favor of
29:23
Speaker 9: men competing women's sports, the reporters thought, oh, well, Cruz
29:28
Speaker 9: is competing to the crazy right wing kooks, and they
29:31
Speaker 9: wrote articles like that, and I actually laughed at them
29:35
Speaker 9: because we had done focus groups and in fact, we
29:38
Speaker 9: had done focus groups of undecided moderate women in Houston
29:44
Speaker 9: and Dallas and we tested like thirty different messages on them.
29:48
Speaker 9: You know, the number one message with undecided moderate women
29:52
Speaker 9: in Houston and Dallas, what was that? Boys and girls sports.
29:56
Speaker 9: There you go, And the reporters didn't get it. They're like, oh,
29:59
Speaker 9: these are crazy right wingers. I'm like, no, no, these
30:01
Speaker 9: are soccer moms. These are soccer moms that are really
30:04
Speaker 9: pissed off. And they don't want their daughter playing soccer
30:08
Speaker 9: with some dude who's going to kick them and get
30:10
Speaker 9: a concussion. They don't want their daughter playing volleyball with
30:13
Speaker 9: some dude that's going to spike the ball on her.
30:16
Speaker 9: They don't want you know, they watched the Olympics and
30:19
Speaker 9: saw two guys beating the hell out of women boxers,
30:23
Speaker 9: and they said enough is enough, and What is amazing
30:27
Speaker 9: is even though the left is so far out of step,
30:30
Speaker 9: Nike's continuing to double down and fund this extreme research.
30:34
Speaker 9: And we had to vote a month and a half
30:37
Speaker 9: ago in the Senate on stopping boys from competing in
30:41
Speaker 9: girls sports. Do you know how many Democrats voted in
30:45
Speaker 9: favor of protecting girls and women's sports.
30:47
Speaker 1: I'm gonna guess they voted as a party, and none
30:49
Speaker 1: of them said, we're going to be.
30:50
Speaker 2: Saying today absolutely correct. Zero. And this was after the
30:54
Speaker 2: November election.
30:55
Speaker 9: If you live in a blue state and you happen
30:57
Speaker 9: to have a Democrat senator who pretends to be my honor,
31:00
Speaker 9: which a lot of them, do, know that your senator,
31:03
Speaker 9: likewise voted for boys to compete against your daughters, for
31:06
Speaker 9: men to compete against women. And that's fundamentally unfair. And
31:11
Speaker 9: if you don't believe me, listen to the great Martine
31:13
Speaker 9: and Avachlova.
31:14
Speaker 2: Don't forget.
31:15
Speaker 1: Share this podcast with your family and friends, share it
31:18
Speaker 1: on social media, please, and I'll see you back here
31:21
Speaker 1: tomorrow
