• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well, it's nice to have you on the Ben Ferguson
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: podcast today, and we've got a lot to cover, which
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: is big story if you've been watching the media, I
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: mean it's a huge story. You are supposed to want
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to hate Ted Cruz now more than ever before. You're
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: supposed to want to demand that he resigned because he
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: was spending time with his family while his state was
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: dealing with a crisis. Let me be clear about something
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: about this real quick. And I like Ted Cruz, I
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: know him personally. I endorse Ted Cruz in the primary
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. This was a bad decision from a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: pr standpoint. Only the reality is there is not much
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: us centator is going to be doing when it comes
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: to the power grid right now in a crisis. The
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: reality is it's a state and a local issue. The
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: reality is for him to go to town not a
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: big deal. That's the reality. But then there is perception
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: while you have millions of people that are out of
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: water and out of power, you don't go icabo. I
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: don't care what party you're in now. Was it a
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: malicious decision? No? Is the media going to use it
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: against you? Yes? Did Ted Cruz know that yes, was
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: he thinking straight when he made this decision? Probably not.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: But in reality, there is nothing that's going to happen
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: at his hands in Texas right now because he's a centator's,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: in a weird way, a low man on the totem pole.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: The governor, they're in charge, Mayors, they're in charge, local
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: elected officials, they're in charge. Now. Is there things that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he can do maybe down the road, sure, and other
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: things he could have done, maybe to help him get
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: his hands dirty at the very beginning, stead of going
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: to Cabo for take his family down there because his
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: kids are out of school and they wanted to spend
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a few days away with their friends. Of course, But
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but let me just compare before you start. You know,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: the fake outrage over oh my gosh, ted cru spend
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: some time with his family. And again, if I was
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: advising him politically, I said, dude, you can't go. They'll
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: they will destroy you in the media. They will absolutely
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: destroy you. You cannot do this. But let me put
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: it in comparing contrast to where we are right now.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden hasn't even talked to the governors. You heard me, right,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden hadn't even talked to the governors. From what
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we've been told from the White House in the states
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: affected by the storms. You want to know what the
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: media has been doing. Let me give you some headlines.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: CNN Politics. This is their headline during this crisis down
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: in the South. Quote inside the new Presence Routine, Oval
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: office fires and early bedtimes by Kevin Laptac. Yeah, they
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: did that article in the evening February the sixteenth. I'll
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: read you the headline again, inside the new Presence Routine,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the oh office fires and early bedtimes. That's what they
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: were reporting on. So when they start telling you that
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you should be outraged over what's happening with Ted Cruz
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: flying down there, By the way it came, he came
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: back in less than twenty hours from dropping his family
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: off in Mexico. And again I'm not saying it was
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a right decision. It was a bad pr move. But
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: if you think the media isn't this isn't just about
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: trying to hurt at conservative and the fake outrage, here's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: proof it. Let me also remind you that while this
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: article from CNN Politics is being written quote inside their
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: headline inside the new Presence Routine, Oval office fires, and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: early bedtimes. Let me remind you of one other thing
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: about the media. You want to know what else they're
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not covering right now. They're not covering the massive fallout
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in pure corruption and now an FBI investigation to the
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: governor of New York. They're not covering Governor Quomo. They're
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: doing everything they can to act like that didn't happen,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: where thousands of seniors died because of a decision from
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the governor and his staff, and then they lied about
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: the number of people that died, and then they lied
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: about the cover up, and now there's a federal an
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: FBI investigation into that cover up. You also have the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: governor threatening other Democrats who have now come out and said, Hey,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I was threatened by the governor that if I didn't
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: do what he told me to do to help cover
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: this up, that he would ruin me, he would come
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: after me. My wife didn't sleep at night when democrat
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: said because of the threat from the governor. Let me
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: give you another headline this week from what the media
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: was covering instead of covering an actual crisis with a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: governor of New York and instead, of course, they'll give
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: you a fake crisis with Ted Cruz. Newsweek's headline, ready
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for this, Joe Biden playing as Luigi wins in Mario
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: kart race against granddaughter at Camp David. This is a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: real headline, while you actually have a massive scandal that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: has taken place in upstate New York where people died. Okay,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: where people died again, Joe Biden playing as Luigi wins
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in Mario kart race against granddaughter at Camp David. So
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: you got Joe Biden, who was hanging out at Camp
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: David during all this, doesn't even have time to talk
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: to the governors and states affected by the cold. And
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: instead of all this, okay, instead of instead of all
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of this, right, instead of all of this, they want
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: to come after Ted Cruz or gett on a plane.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I'll say it one more time. It's not a right
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: decision for him to go down there. It was a
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: bad pr move. But these are real stories that they're
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not actually talking about. You want, you want to know
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: about something else, a big story, a massive story that
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: has not been covered over the last twenty four hours,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: while of course they're covering everything about Ted Cruz's flight
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: manifested he get an upgrade on the flight, his name's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: on the board to get an update on the flight.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is all there, Okay, this is this
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is all there. Joe Biden was in a town hall
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: on CNN, and Joe Biden came out and said in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: a town hall, which by the way, was a total
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: disaster that no one's reported on the guy. It was
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: like he didn't know what was going on, and they
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: were softball questions. They didn't even ask him a single
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: question about Governor Cuomo New York. Not a single question
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: from CNN's Anderson Cooper to him about the controversy and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the seniors that died and Governor Cuomo, not a single question.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: He kind of came out with something big, something that's
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: not being reported because they know it's going to be
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: unpopular with the American people. Right now, while unemployment claims
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: skyrocketed last week, first time une claims went through the roof,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: So as Joe Biden trying to protect your job, no
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: is he trying to bring your jobs back. No is
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: he trying to make sure that you're okay. No. In fact,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: this is what he said. He said, I want a
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: pathway to citizenship for eleven million undocumented immigrants in this country.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So while you're competing to find your next job and
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: many of you are out okay, many of you are
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: out of work, are under employed. Joe Biden says, I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: want you to compete with eleven million new people who
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I want to give citizenship to. And the only reason
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: why it is because he wants them to vote for him.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Take a listen to this massive news at this town hall,
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: and it is massive. Let me ask about a qurtion
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: which does often divide many people in this country. Immigration.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Your administration along with quick congressional Democrats. Democrats expected to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: unvail an immigration reform bill just this week. You want
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: a pathway to citizenship for the roughly eleven million undocumented immigrants.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Would you sign any immigration bill if it did not
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: include that a pathway for the roughly eleven million on. Yeah,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: there's a whole range of things that relate to immigration,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: including the whole idea how you deal with You know
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: what confuses people is you talk about refugees, you talk
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: about undocumented, you talk about people who are seeking asylum,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and you talk about people who are coming from the
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: that are coming from camps around being held around the world.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: And there are four different criteria for being able to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: come to the United States. The vast majority of the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: people that was eleven million undocumented. They're they're not Hispanics.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: There are people who came on the visa, was able
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to buy a ticket to get into plane and didn't
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: go home. They didn't come across the rio grand and swimming.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Excuse me and sorry, see Irish and me. But all
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: kildn't decide. So so there there there are a lot
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: of things that relay, but I think that we can
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: no longer. Look, I think he knows how confused he is.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be mean, but this guy can't
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: even get I want you to listen to this last
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: sentence here. I want you to hear Listen to the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: last part where he says, look here, that's his reset
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: if I can't remember what I'm talking about. This is
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the guy, by the way, who's running our country. There
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: was another another headline this week that has been not reported,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: and that is the fact that we're now being told
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: that the Vice president, Kamala Harris is actually the one.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: You ready for this, Kamala Harris is actually the one.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: She is actually the one making phone calls with foreign
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: leaders on behalf of Joe Biden, on behalf of Joe Biden.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Anybody want to talk about that kind of a big deal,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: President Knights, it's America not taking phone calls, not calling
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the governors down that dealing with the power outages and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the winter storm and the water outages and people that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: have died because of the storm, not even taking their
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: phone calls. Farming that out to a low level person
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: below him, that they confirm that by the way, at
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: the White House, at the White House press briefing, Yes,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: he's not spoken to the governor's down there, but but
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: somebody beneath him did. But I want you again listen
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: to the words coming out of the mouth of Joe
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Biden and listen to how he just cannot get his
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: head around what he's even talking about. And he's the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: one that's selling you on the eleven million Americans are
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: excusing me, eleven million undocumented immigrants, as he puts it,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: he said, americans who deserves citizenship. I reshing me, but
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: all kildn't decide. So so there there are a lot
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of things that relay, but I think that we can
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: no longer. Look, you've heard I'm even if you're not
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: involved in politics at all. You've probably heard me say
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: this a thousand times. A matter of that, everyone is
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: entitled to be treated with decency, with dignity. Everyone is
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: entitled for that to that and we don't do that now.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: For the first time in American history, if you're seeking asylum,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: meaning you're being persecuted, you're seeking asylum, you can't do
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it from the United States. Used to come have an
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: asylum officer determined whether or not you've met the criteria
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to send you back if you in fact, but you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: can't even do that. You got to seek asylum from abroad.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: But just to be clear though, by the way, you
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: want to know why we did that, and Joe Biden's
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: smart enough to know why we did that. Okay, The
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: reason why we did that is because everybody they were told,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and their family and friends that got into this country,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and the coyotes that you pay to bring you to
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: this country illegally, they would give you a script and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: they would tell you everything that you need to say.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: They would tell you everything that you must say, right,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that's what they would do. They would tell you all
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: of it, and they would say, this is what you
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: need to say to hit the criteria, this is how
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: you need to say it to hit the criteria. This
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: is what you've got to say to make sure that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: you hit and check all the boxes. That's why, Okay,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: that is a simple reason why we stopped allowing it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Because the system was broken and we realized it was
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: nothing but a massive loophole, that's all. It was a
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: massive loophole for those to come into this country and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to tell us tell a lie, right, to tell a
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: BS story that was just in fact not true, and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: they were exploiting it, and they exploit it for years
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: under the eight years under the Obama Biden administration. So
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: when Donald Trump came in, they said, look, we got
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: we gotta fix this, right, like, this is something that
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: we have to fix. If we don't fix it, we're
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: gonna have some real problems, right if we don't fix it.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: We got some we got some real issues here if
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: we don't change this, if we don't alter this, if
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: we don't this is this is clearly broken and we
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: gotta fix it. There is clearly a problem here and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: we need to fix it. And that is exactly what
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: we did. In now Joe Biden's like, oh no, you gotta,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: we gotta give them a pathway to citizenship. Why now,
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: whose team are you on? We know whose team the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: media is on. How they're writing articles with headlines inside
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the new presence, routine, ov office fires and early bedtimes.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Another one news with Joe Biden playing Luigi Mario Kart
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: Mario Luigi right Nintendo. When's a Mario Kart race against
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: grandaughter at Camp David? This, I mean, the media under
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Biden is absolutely pathetic, absolutely pathetic. But this is what
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: they're doing. This is what they're selling. This is how
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: they're doing it. This is how they are doing it.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Biden trying to finish up selling this plan of eleven
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: million Americans, as he calls them. I'm not he is.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: I want to make that very clear. He says, just
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: go ahead and give them the paperwork, right, just just
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: give them, just give them the paperwork. Just do it.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Go ahead, give them the paperwork. They deserve it. Why
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: do they deserve it? Why? Now? It's because he needs
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: them to vote for him. That's why he needs them
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to vote for them. That's why he needs illegal immigrants.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: There is no reason why anyone should be in favor
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: of this, especially now when the economy is reeling from
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and people losing their jobs. I mean, even
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: if you said, is this the right time to do this,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about from a liberal perspective. Any liberal that
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: I would think has a brain would immediately say, no,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this is not okay, this is not the time. We
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: can't we can't sell this to the American people. Now.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: If you want to do this, do it when there's
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: low unemployment and people say, well, they're not really competing
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: for jobs, and later on they will be, but right
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: now they're not. That's what you do. You do it then,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: not now. Now is not the time to do it.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: You do it later. And I know you're going to
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: be announcing stuff later this week, or that's why I've
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: heard you do want a pathway to citizenship for roughly
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: eleven million undocumented immigrants and that would be essential in
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: any bill for you. Well, yes, but by the way,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: if you came along and said to me, in the meantime,
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: we can work out a system whereby we're going to
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: For example, we used to allow refugees one hundred and
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: twenty five thousand refugees in the United States in a
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: yearly basis was as high as two hundred and fifty thousand.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Trump cut it to five thousand. Come with me and
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: just sare leone. Come with me in departs of Lebanon.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Come with me around the world and see people piled
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: up in camps, kids dying, no way out, refugees fleeing
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: from persecution. We the United States, by the way, this
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: is this is part of the lie. And that's why
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: I want to play it for you. The eleven million
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: people that he's wanted to give a pathway to citizenship for,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: they're not from the places he just mentioned. Nine of
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: them are coming across the border from Mexico. The idea
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: that they're coming from all of these war torn areas
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and civil war areas and civil unrest areas in the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: world that he just described saying, go to these camps,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: look at them, people are They're not coming from there.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: The majority of people that you want to give citizenship
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: are just people that said, screwed. I like America. I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: mean go to Mexico, not to the resort. Drive outside
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: of the resort. If you've ever done that, which I have,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you'll understand why so many people want to come to America.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: America is the greatest country in the ward. I don't
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: blame them. What I do blame is us being stupid enough. Right,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: What I blame them is us being dumb enough, us
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: being incompetent enough to allow it to happen. That's what
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I do blame. By the way, I blame, I blame
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: us for even thinking that this is a good idea.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I blame us for even thinking that this is something
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that we should do. That's who I blame. That's what
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: I blame. And Joe Biden sitting there going, Yep, we're
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: gonna we gotta let these people in from these war
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: to torn areas in the Middle East and all these
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: people that are suffering and go around the world. The
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: eleven Milli're gonna give it to is gonna be from Mexico.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: That's not war torn. They have corruption down there, and
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I would argue it's their country and they need to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: fix it, and maybe they need to fight and maybe
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: they need to go to war with a cartel, Maybe
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: they need to fight back, maybe they take back their country.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: Now that we can debate, Okay, that we can argue
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: about that, we can have a conversation about. I'm cool
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: with that, folks. I am totally okay with that. What
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I am not okay with this bs that all these
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: people are coming from all these countries where he claims
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: are suffering, when the majority of people he is about
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to give citizenship from are not from there, And you're
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: using somebody else's pain and agony to justify a terrible
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: decision that only helps your bottom line with future voters,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: not the American people, kids dying, no way out, refugees
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: fleeing from persecution. We the United States used to do
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: our part. We were part of that. We're and you
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: know that's you know, send me your hotal masses come on.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: And so I would if you had a refugee. Bill
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: bides self. I'm not suggesting that, but I would. There's
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: things that I would deal by itself, but not at
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the expense of saying I'm never going to do the other.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: There is a reasonable path to citizenship, and it shows
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: up one of the reasons why we have been able
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: to compete with the rest of the world so well
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: is most of our major competitors xenophobic. You remember quite
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: I remember you questioned me when I came back from China,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and I said, I predict I love this We're going
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: to throw in the xenophobic part there, because why not, right,
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, if we're going to do this, let's go
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: all in. Let's tell everybody the reason why we're doing this,
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: because we're trying to save people's lives and that's how
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: this works. And there's these people that are sitting there
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and they're dying. Yeah, that there, it is, That's easy.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Let's just let's just do it. Let's talk about, by
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the way, human rights abuses for a second. You know
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: something else that's changed, which is really interesting. Joe Biden
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: is not going to have any type of repercussions or recourse.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: We've been told for China and they're human rights abuses
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: not gonna happen. So which one is it? Are you
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: going to bring in all these people from around the
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: world but China you're not gonna call him out? Right?
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, are you're not gonna call him out? Which
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: one is it? I'm just I'm curious here, I'm genuinely
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: curious which one isn't We have real problems in this
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: country right now, and this guy's trying to bring in
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: eleven million more. Look look at the California school board
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: members mocking parents in a new video that they want
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: their babysitters back. And then now we have Joe Biden
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: who's even backtrack on his return to the School Plan,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: which he said he was going to implement to get
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: kids back to school. How many kids are dying at home?
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: Now we know the numbers, they're not good. We know
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: that kids are committing suicide at rates we haven't seen
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: in death kids. We know that kids are being abused
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: at home, and we have no way to find out
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: how if they're being abused at home because they're not
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: going to school. We know that kids are not getting
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: fed the way that they need to be being fed,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: many of them because schools are out that that's where
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: we are. And you look at Kamala Harris, she was,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: you know, giving her given the easy questions from the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Today's Show. She starts stammering when asked about biden shifting
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: standard on school openings. So let's let's let's take care
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of all the kids in the world, but let's not
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: take care of our own kids. Let's take care of
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: the illegal immigrants, but not our own American kids. Let's
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: let's get our schools back open. But then when the
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: unions say no, because this is all about unions. It's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: all about the union workers. This is not about what's
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: good for the kids. You wander why all the private
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: schools are open, because there's direct accountability from the people
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: that pay pay the bill. You wonder why the private
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: universities are open. You wander why the private schools are
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: open because they cannot afford to miss those paychecks because
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: then they're out of work. And so they figured out
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a way to do it, and they didn't spend hundreds
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: of millions of dollars preparing their classrooms the way that
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: now the government's demand that they're talking about like half
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: half a billion dollars in funding to quote get the
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: classrooms ready. How the private schools afford it and do
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: it because the tuition prices did not go up. Private
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: schools at every age group we're talking about pre k kindergarten,
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: middle school, high school, colleges are all open because they
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: knew that if they didn't open, they didn't get paid,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: and they figured out a way to do it in
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: a safe manner, and they didn't spend billions of dollars
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: getting their classrooms ready. They made normal precautions the way
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: they should but the unions, they're like, screw this, we
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: can just teach them home. This is we never have
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: to go back to work again until everybody gets vaccinated.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: And then we say we need hazard pay, and then
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: we say we're some sort of victim. Everybody else is
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: going to work, right All these other workers at grocery stores,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: fast food restaurants, everything that's open out there that you're
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: going to, that they'll go to. Those people aren't screaming
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: I need more money and how dare you try to
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: kill me? But the unions are. But this is the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party right now. Last week, eight hundred and sixty
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: one thousand Americans filed for unemployment. Let that number sink in.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred and sixty one thousand Americans file for unemployment.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: And right now Joe Biden and the Democrats are introducing
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: a bill give me eleven million illegal immigrant citizenship. And
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: they're backtracking on putting our kids back in school. And
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the Vice President Harris stammering, when asked about his shifting standards,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: take a list of this crap distance and make sure
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: you wash your hands and do that frequently. Let's talk
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: about schools. We got a lot of parents watching, right
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: now maybe with their kids right next to them because
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: they're not going to school. The CDC a few days
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: ago finally put out some long awaited guide on how
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: schools could safely reopen. But here's the thing. They tied
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: it directly to the rate of infection in any given community.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to put a map up because if
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: schools were to follow that right now, ninety percent of
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the counties, ninety percent of the schools would not be
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: able to open under the CDC's own metric. Wasn't a
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: mistake for the CDC to connect school reopening to how
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: much infection there is in a community. Well, let's first
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: say this that in the last four weeks, schools are opening.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Every week, more schools are opening, and it is because
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: we are supplementing what needs to happen around the vaccinations
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: getting two states, but also because folks are We're seeing
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: progress when folks are wearing masks, when they're getting vaccinated,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: when they're social distancing, we're seeing progress there. But we
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: all want the schools to reopen, Savannah, all of us
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: who have children in our lives. They want to go
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: back to school. We want them to go back to school.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Teachers want to teach. What about that CDC guidance? Then
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: that's the question, because the CDC is saying, essentially their
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: best guidance is don't open if you're in a red zone.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Ninety percent of students are in a red zone. And
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: the science is very clear. The CDC's own science says
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: schools are not a source of community risk. Well, so
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: here's the thing. What the CDC, what they have recommended,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: are exactly that recommendations about how to reopen safely if
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: they've been closed, how to stay open if they've been opened,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: and so the recommendations include what again needs to happen
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: around social distancing, handwashing, mask wearing. But the point is
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that we all want our kids to get back to
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: school as quickly as possible and as safely as possible.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: There has been a shifting timeline here. Back on December eighth,
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: the President, then President elect tweeted, we want to reopen
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: the majority of schools in the first one hundred days.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: He later said that day, we want to have most
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: schools open. Now he said it's as last night, he's
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: talking about the majority of K through eight schools. Last
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: week we heard a White House officials saying open means
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it could mean just one day a week open. The
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: President said no, that was a miscommunication. But I mean,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: I guess, look again, parents watching, What is the bottom line?
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: What is it now for schools to be reopened and
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: how soon can they be reopened? So our goal is
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: that as many K through eight schools as possible will
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: reopen as within the first one hundred days. Our goal
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: is that it will be five days a week, and
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: so we have to work to achieve that goal. But
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: our goal is the goal of parents. And I mean,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, Savannah, I don't need to tell you
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: we are. The issue here is not just about statistics.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: It's about our kids, it's about their parents. It's about
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the fact that every day our kids are missing essential
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: critical days and they're education. I love how she then
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden acts like she's going on the
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: offense for these kids. The only reason why these kids
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: are not back in the school right now is because
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris and the Democrats have said, okay, unions will
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: let you make the call, and the union said, screw
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the kids, and we're gonna get paid and we don't
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: have to worry about losing our customer base because it's
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: a public school system, which is exactly why the public
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: school system is broken. The public school system is broken
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: because it's not about what's best for the kids. We
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: socially promote kids, we fail kids, and we move them
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: forward anyway. Kids come out of school in a seventh
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and sixth grade reading level. When they graduate high school.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: There is zero accountability because it's run by the liberals
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: and the schools are run by Democrats, and they're not
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: run for what's best for the kids. There's no accountability.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Teachers don't get fired in the public school system. Teachers
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: are protected even when they do the most stupid and
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: egregious things. They don't get fired. Though. We don't fire
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: public school teacher year. Private school teachers we fire all
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: the time. You're not getting done, it's over right, you're
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: not getting it done. It's then bye bye. Because there's
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: actual accountability if your kids fall behind. What happens if
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: kids fall behind, and you can see it, there is
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: accountability immediately. So this year is a forgotten year. This
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: year is not a year of educating our kids in
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: the public schools, private schools. And I want you to
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: think about the have and have nots. Here, seriously, listen
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: to me. Think about all the private school kids where
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: parents made sacrifices to get their kids in private school.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Think about all the private school kids that got a
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: full year of education that now we're going to beat
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the living crap out of the public school kids that
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: got nothing. Think about the have and have nots here,
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: and how many kids lives are gonna be changed forever
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: because their SAT and ACT scores are gonna are gonna
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: dive bomb because an entire year of school they missed.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: But we said it happened, and it really did. These teachers,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm tired of them saying that they care
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: about the kids. They don't because the unions. If the
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: teachers care, they'd fight. The unions say no, we're going
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: back to school school district by school district. That's what
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: they would do, and they're not doing it. And the
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: reason why is very clear. The reason why they're not
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: doing that is because it's too easy to get a
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: fat paycheck and stay at home. Because there's no accountability
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: and you don't have to listen to anyone. No one
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: is going to fire you. You don't worry that you're
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: going to lose your job because you don't show up,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: not worried about it, because not showing up, refusing to
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: come back to work in the private schools, You're gone.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: You are gone, Make no mistake about it. You are gone.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: It is over public schools. Let's go. This is a
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: whole year we've missed, folks. It's a whole year that
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: these teachers in these unions are getting paid their salaries,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: many of them getting raises during the last year, to
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: not educate our kids, to not educate them. And Kamala
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: Harris out there, Ramb went on. Then she tries to
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: go on the offensive. Well, I'm here to fight for
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: the kids. Well, if you are, then why aren't you
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: demanding that these kids get back in school. Why aren't
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: you demanding it? Vocational development? You know, we know we
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: have worked on this issue for years around the fact
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: that you know, by the end of third grade, if
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: a child is not at third grade reading level, they
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: literally drop off. So each day in the lifehood child
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: is a very long time. And that's why, right, and
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: that's why we've we've got it collectively and do everything
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: in our power to reopen our schools as quickly as
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: possible and as safely as possible. A lot of public
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: health officials will say this closing schools is as much
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: of a public health crisis for all the reasons you mentioned.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: A final point on this before we move on. You know,
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: the CDC has said it is not a prerequisite for
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: teachers to be vaccinated for them to go back to school.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: But many teachers are wary of going back to school,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: and we've had some cities have to sue the teachers
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: union or sue their own school districts to try to
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: get these schools to reopen. Can you reassure teachers who
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: are listening right now that it is safe for them
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: to go back to school even if they are not vaccinated,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: if these public health measures like distancing and masks are
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: being implemented. So, first of all, let me just say this,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and the President has said it, and we're all really clear.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Teachers should be a priority. Teachers should be a priority. Look,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: let me just tell you something. I love teachers. My
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: first grade teacher, Missus Francis Wilson, attended my law school graduation.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Teachers are critical to our children's development. They should be
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: able to teach it a safe place and expand the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: minds and the opportunities of our children. So teachers should
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: be a priority along with other frontline workers, and we're
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: going to make them a priority. I believe that twenty
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: two dates I believe have prioritized is it's safe for them? Well,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I think that we have to decide if we can
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: put in place safe measures. This is why, and it's
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: so important we pass the American Rescue Plan, the American
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: ROS Here it is here, it is Did you hear this?
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Now here's my pitch for why I need more money
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: for the unions. She didn't answer the questions, and even
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: even NBC Samana Savannah Guthrie is actually asking some decent questions.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: You're like, even if you had to sue the schools Union,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: the teachers unions, they've had to sue them. Now listen
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to this because this is all about the money. What
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is about to do is make the sales
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: pitch the American people. And the sales pitch is a
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: simple one. If you give us enough money, we'll go
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: back to school. But you got to give us a
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: hell of a lot of money for first. You got
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: to give us everything we demand because we're going to
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: get a better deal, for our bottom line, for our
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: bank account, for our paychecks. This is not about the kids.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: If you think it's about a kid, you're stupid. These
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: public school teachers are idiots. These public school teachers that
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: are not standing up for the kids. And don't don't
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: tell me there's a degree of separation. Okay, I'm tired
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: of that crap, I really really am. I'm sick and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: tired of that bs. These teachers should be saying I'm
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: showing up for school and I'm gonna buck the system
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna buck the union, but they're not, so
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: don't tell me. Well, you're ben, you're painting with two
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: brivate brush. Okay, well, then show up and work just
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: like the private schools are. Show up and work like
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: every other American has been doing during this crisis, because
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: we know that if you keep calling in saying I
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: can't come in, I'm too afraid, I can't come in,
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: I'm do afraid, I can't come in, I'm do afraid,
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: at some point they're gonna say, don't come in because
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: you don't have a job. But this is not about
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the kids. It's about the money. And now here's a
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: sales pitch from Kamala Harris. This is basically, we're holding
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: you hostage and your kids hostage, and their education, their

  Speaker 1: we tell you to do. The President and I have
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: proposed is a plan that is about getting our schools
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: back open. Why does this connect with what we're talking

  Speaker 1: about right now? It's gonna be safer for our schools
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to reopen when we can get our schools the infrastructure needs,

• 34:39
  Speaker 1: social distancing with barriers, the things that are necessary to
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: get them back open and a safe I don't want
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: to want to beat it to death, but I just
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: I know their teachers listening, and the CDC has said
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: they don't have to be vaccinated to go back to school.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: We think it should be a priority. We think they should.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: We think they should be a priority. We think they
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: should be a priority, and the states are making to
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: as individually about where they will be on the list
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: of who gets vaccinated. I believe they should be a priority.
