Biden Puts Ukraine Ahead of America w MASSIVE Funding · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Who needs Democrats when Republicans now seem to be doing
0:04
Speaker 1: all the dirty work that the Democrats wanted to do
0:07
Speaker 1: from the very beginning. That's the question that many conservatives
0:11
Speaker 1: are asking themselves right now. After Democrats and Republicans joined
0:16
Speaker 1: together to pass the sixty one billion dollar Ukraine aid package.
0:23
Speaker 2: Yes, it is passed.
0:26
Speaker 1: And while it was passing, there was a flag flying
0:29
Speaker 1: on the floor of the House of Representatives, and that
0:31
Speaker 1: was not.
0:31
Speaker 2: The American flag.
0:33
Speaker 1: Democrats were passing out and waving Ukraine flax.
0:38
Speaker 2: Yes, waving Ukraine flags.
0:41
Speaker 1: Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican as you know, who is
0:44
Speaker 1: from Louisiana, delivered President Joe Biden a huge victory, a
0:50
Speaker 1: fifty no waight.
0:51
Speaker 3: Not fifty, not sixty, but sixty.
0:53
Speaker 1: One billion dollar gift over the weekend on Saturday afternoon,
0:59
Speaker 1: reversing months long pledge to never advance for an aid
1:02
Speaker 1: without first securing America's border, something he had promised. I'm
1:07
Speaker 1: going to have more about this than just a second
1:09
Speaker 1: that deals also with more lies coming from the Biden
1:13
Speaker 1: White House. But first, let me tell you about my
1:15
Speaker 1: friends at Patriot Mobile. For ten years now, Patriot Mobile
1:18
Speaker 1: has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
1:22
Speaker 3: Why would you care about that?
1:24
Speaker 1: Because Big Mobile is giving big donations right now to
1:29
Speaker 1: hardcore leftist causes organizations candidates.
1:33
Speaker 3: Those include Planned Parenthood.
1:36
Speaker 1: If you're like me and you're tired of giving your
1:38
Speaker 1: money to cooperations that are literally fighting against your family values,
1:42
Speaker 1: then switch to Patriot Mobile. When I look down at
1:44
Speaker 1: my cell phone on the top left, it says Patriot,
1:46
Speaker 1: and I know, with every text and with every phone call,
1:49
Speaker 1: I'm standing with a company that protects my values but
1:51
Speaker 1: also gives back to what I believe in. When you
1:54
Speaker 1: switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending a message that you
1:57
Speaker 1: support free speech, You're supporting religious You're supporting and advocating
2:02
Speaker 1: and donating to protect the sanctity of life in this
2:05
Speaker 1: country because five percent of your bill every month goes
2:08
Speaker 1: back to conservative causes that you help choose to support.
2:12
Speaker 1: We're talking about causes like protecting our Second Amendment rights,
2:15
Speaker 1: for supporting our military, our veterans, are wounded warriors, and
2:20
Speaker 1: our first responder heroes, just to name a few. Is
2:23
Speaker 1: switching easy? You better believe it. You can keep your
2:25
Speaker 1: same cell phone number you have right now. Keep your
2:27
Speaker 1: same cell phone or upgrade to a new one plus.
2:31
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile also is going to give you free activation
2:33
Speaker 1: right now when you use the promo code Ben. All
2:37
Speaker 1: you got to do is call them nine to seven
2:39
Speaker 1: to two Patriot. That's nine seven to two Patriot, nine
2:43
Speaker 1: to seven two Patriot. Get rid of that woke phone
2:46
Speaker 1: company you have right now and switch to Patriot Mobile.
2:50
Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com
2:54
Speaker 1: slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot.
2:56
Speaker 3: All right now.
2:58
Speaker 1: Multiple Democrats and possibly few Republicans cheered, shouted Ukraine, Ukraine
3:04
Speaker 1: and wave those Ukrainian flags. The Ukraine Aid vote closed.
3:08
Speaker 1: Where's the money going? How much of it will actually
3:11
Speaker 1: help the people in Ukraine? How much of it's going
3:14
Speaker 1: to be embezzled by those that are corrupt in Ukraine?
3:17
Speaker 1: Probably about sixty the sixty one billion dollars that we're
3:20
Speaker 1: sending them. By the way, we don't have this money.
3:22
Speaker 1: We're having to borrow the money, so it's actually going
3:25
Speaker 1: to end up costing US probably several hundred billion dollars
3:28
Speaker 1: in interest. On top of the principal quote. It is
3:32
Speaker 1: in violation of decorum to wave flags on the floor.
3:36
Speaker 1: Johnson scored the Democrats. But did it really matter now?
3:40
Speaker 1: Of course not, because he just gave them what they wanted.
3:43
Speaker 1: The Ukraine portion of the four and Aid passed three
3:46
Speaker 1: eleven to one twelve. One Representative Republican Dan Mauser, a
3:52
Speaker 1: Republican from Pennsylvania, voted President Johnson once again violated what
3:57
Speaker 1: is referred to as the Hasset rule. Only one hundred
4:00
Speaker 1: and one Republicans voted with Johnson, while one hundred and twelve,
4:03
Speaker 1: a clear majority, opposed what Johnson was doing. House Republican
4:10
Speaker 1: members circulated a document outlining a timeline of Johnson's repeated insistence,
4:16
Speaker 1: I should say that the House would not advance a
4:19
Speaker 1: foreign aid package before securing America's southern border. That was
4:24
Speaker 1: a promise that he made that obviously was meaningless. Johnson
4:28
Speaker 1: begun publicly wavering in early March after a February the
4:32
Speaker 1: twenty eighth meeting with the White House. His reversal followed
4:35
Speaker 1: months of grooming by both the White House and the
4:38
Speaker 1: establishment Republicans. Quote, We've been working with him for months
4:42
Speaker 1: to try to get him there, one anonymous lawmaker told Politico,
4:46
Speaker 1: which said that Johnson's Ukraine bill would, quote Grant Biden,
4:49
Speaker 1: a major foreign policy victory that has eluded him for
4:53
Speaker 1: an entire year. And like I said, who needs Democrats
4:57
Speaker 1: when you've got Republicans that will do.
4:59
Speaker 2: The work that the de democrats are begging for.
5:02
Speaker 1: The White House and Intelligence State re education of Mike Johnson.
5:07
Speaker 2: Yes, that's not a joke.
5:08
Speaker 1: The White House and an intelligent State re educated Mike Johnson,
5:13
Speaker 1: they say it began before his seat warmed. According to Politico,
5:17
Speaker 1: the administration held several closed door briefings for Johnson and
5:21
Speaker 1: other lawmakers to update them on the deteriorating situation Ukraine,
5:27
Speaker 1: starting just days after Johnson became the speaker. Officials involved
5:31
Speaker 1: in those briefings included the CIA director William Burns and
5:35
Speaker 1: the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, to let him know
5:39
Speaker 1: how important it was that we gave all this money
5:41
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. The Ukraine bill will be bundled into a
5:45
Speaker 1: larger foreign aid package that does not include border security. Johnson,
5:50
Speaker 1: by the way, held a vote on a border security
5:52
Speaker 1: bill earlier in the day, but Johnson moved that bill
5:56
Speaker 1: under suppression of the rules, which meant it required to
6:00
Speaker 1: third support to pass. It received it two fifteen to
6:03
Speaker 1: one ninety nine in opposition.
6:05
Speaker 3: Therefore it quote failed.
6:07
Speaker 1: The Senate, by the way, is expected to act on
6:10
Speaker 1: the bills very soon after receiving the bill, which of
6:13
Speaker 1: course is going to send your money to Ukraine. Now,
6:17
Speaker 1: the question that you should be asking yourself right now
6:19
Speaker 1: will hold on a second, what do the American people
6:22
Speaker 1: say about another sixty one billion in Ukraine?
6:25
Speaker 2: Aid I can take exactly what they think.
6:27
Speaker 1: Overwhelming the majority of Republicans that have been pulled have
6:31
Speaker 1: said that they do not agree with sending more money
6:33
Speaker 1: to Ukraine. Why do they do it? Because this is
6:36
Speaker 1: how the rich get richer in the well military industrial complex.
6:40
Speaker 1: And this is what you do when you go all
6:42
Speaker 1: in for Ukraine, because you've made Russia into right, the
6:46
Speaker 1: evil group that must be quote stopped. And if you
6:50
Speaker 1: don't support Ukraine funding and you question even for just
6:53
Speaker 1: a second where the money is going, let's also be clear,
6:58
Speaker 1: they then say you're supporting Vladimir Putin, and so that's
7:02
Speaker 1: how they win all of this. They tell you that
7:05
Speaker 1: you're a Russian supporter or a Vladimir Putin supporter if
7:08
Speaker 1: you don't support what they're demanding.
7:10
Speaker 2: Right now. Welcome to the world. This world that we live.
7:15
Speaker 1: In now is all about appeasing Ukraine. It is all
7:20
Speaker 1: about appeasing the left, it's all about appeasing the deep state.
7:24
Speaker 1: It's all about appeasing those that get rich, the defense contractors.
7:28
Speaker 2: And you have to understand something.
7:29
Speaker 1: The money that we give Ukraine comes right back into
7:32
Speaker 1: the defense contractors, and then we give the stuff back
7:36
Speaker 1: to Ukraine, which means they're making billions of dollars off
7:40
Speaker 1: of every single one of these bills that we.
7:42
Speaker 2: Continue to pass. That is a fact.
7:45
Speaker 1: Then what ends up going to Ukraine, we know doesn't
7:48
Speaker 1: always go to the front lines and or even to
7:51
Speaker 1: the people. That is problem number two with this, But
7:54
Speaker 1: it doesn't seem to matter because it's a very simple
7:58
Speaker 1: argument they make. If you don't support Ukraine, then by
8:01
Speaker 1: default your supporting Putin.
8:04
Speaker 2: That's the whole ballgame here.
8:06
Speaker 1: In fact, GOP Representative Gonzales said this on CNN about
8:10
Speaker 1: his colleagues.
8:11
Speaker 3: Are the Republicans listen carefully, well, we.
8:14
Speaker 4: Have a real, live, actual House republic and Congressman here
8:17
Speaker 4: Tony and Zales of Texas. So you voted yes on
8:21
Speaker 4: the Foreign aid package. Do you have confidence that at
8:25
Speaker 4: this point, given that it is still possible that Marjorie
8:30
Speaker 4: Taylor Green will push to vacate to kick him out
8:33
Speaker 4: of the speaker's chair, that he can survive.
8:35
Speaker 5: He will survive. Look, the house is a rough and
8:37
Speaker 5: rowdy place, but Mike Johnson is going to be just fine.
8:40
Speaker 5: I served twenty years in the military.
8:42
Speaker 2: It's my absolute honor to be in Congress.
8:44
Speaker 5: But I served with some real scumbags. Look Matt Gates,
8:48
Speaker 5: he paid miners to have sex with them at drug parties.
8:51
Speaker 5: Bob Good endorsed my opponent a non neo Nazi. These
8:55
Speaker 5: people used to walk around with white hoods at night.
8:58
Speaker 5: Now they're walking around with white hoods in the daytime. Look,
9:01
Speaker 5: what didn't surprise me that some of these folks voted
9:04
Speaker 5: against aid to Israel? But I was encouraged to see
9:07
Speaker 5: by a nearly ten to one mark that Republicans supported
9:10
Speaker 5: our allies on the battlefield.
9:12
Speaker 4: Wow, okay, I should say that the Federal By the way.
9:16
Speaker 2: Does that sound like a real Republican to you?
9:18
Speaker 1: A real life Republican, as he describes himself as CNN
9:22
Speaker 1: describes him, says, I work with a bunch of scumbags.
9:25
Speaker 1: You would think that the enemy that this guy, this
9:28
Speaker 1: guy's enemy is actually the Republican Party, not the Democratic Party.
9:34
Speaker 1: That's what it sounds like from this Republican and this
9:37
Speaker 1: is what we're up against.
9:38
Speaker 3: I go back to what I said earlier.
9:41
Speaker 1: Who needs Democrats when you've got Republicans that will do
9:44
Speaker 1: the same damn thing.
9:46
Speaker 3: And you listen to what he just said. There, I
9:47
Speaker 3: work with some real scumbags.
9:50
Speaker 1: And he goes through his highlight reel and CNN loves
9:54
Speaker 1: this guy. Why does CNN love this guy because he's
9:58
Speaker 1: a useful idiot of the Republicublican Party. He is a
10:02
Speaker 1: useful idiot of the Republican Party that they can put
10:06
Speaker 1: on TV on Sunday morning and say, we're going to
10:08
Speaker 1: have a huge audience for you, and you come on
10:11
Speaker 1: and you rip your colleagues and the Republican Party. You
10:15
Speaker 1: will be our useful idiot. And that's exactly what he
10:19
Speaker 1: just did. Let me also say this about the Ukraine
10:23
Speaker 1: funding the American people. Maybe some of them would have
10:27
Speaker 1: been in favor of this if we had a secure border,
10:29
Speaker 1: but Americans clearly said we want to secure border before
10:36
Speaker 1: we want any of this other crap. You guys are
10:38
Speaker 1: trying to make us pay for you want to know
10:40
Speaker 1: what Lindsey Graham had to say about the House sending
10:43
Speaker 1: a ninety five billion dollar four and eight package to
10:45
Speaker 1: send it in sixty plus billion of that going to
10:47
Speaker 1: Ukraine listens as a.
10:49
Speaker 6: Loan component to it. This would not have passed without
10:52
Speaker 6: Donald Trump. I want to thank the House Speaker and
10:55
Speaker 6: the King Jefferies working together in a bipartisan fashion to
10:58
Speaker 6: give weapons to you praying to buy to fight that
11:01
Speaker 6: matters to us. And President Trump has created a loan
11:04
Speaker 6: component to this package.
11:06
Speaker 3: It gives us leverage down the road.
11:07
Speaker 1: So this idea that I don't even know what to
11:12
Speaker 1: say here, there's a loan component to it. So that's
11:14
Speaker 1: how they're saying. Somehow you're gonna get paid back. This
11:17
Speaker 1: would not have passed out Donald Trump. I'm not so
11:20
Speaker 1: sure about that either. I want to think the House
11:23
Speaker 1: Speaker and the King Jeffries, the Democratic Leader working together
11:26
Speaker 1: in to Byparson fashion to give weapons Ukraine to fight
11:28
Speaker 1: a fight that matters to us. I mean this, how
11:34
Speaker 1: does this matter to us? You're not listening to the
11:38
Speaker 1: American people. The majority of the American people say no,
11:41
Speaker 1: this is not a fight that we want to be
11:43
Speaker 1: involved in. This is not an aid package that we want.
11:47
Speaker 1: This is not a is He described a loan package
11:49
Speaker 1: that the American people want. He said in President Trump
11:53
Speaker 1: has created a loan component to this package. It gives
11:55
Speaker 1: us leverage down the road. I guarantee you this loan
11:58
Speaker 1: is going to be forgiven on the road. They're going
12:00
Speaker 1: to say they can't pay it, or the default and
12:02
Speaker 1: the loan. I have no doubt in my mind that
12:04
Speaker 1: Ukraine is never going to write a big fat check
12:06
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. We're going to keep
12:09
Speaker 1: writing them checks and this will not be the last one.
12:11
Speaker 1: Based on what they're talking about. This White House also
12:14
Speaker 1: said something very clearly. This White House made it abundantly
12:18
Speaker 1: clear in their own words that we are going to
12:22
Speaker 1: give them money for however long this war takes full stop.
12:27
Speaker 1: You want to know why they said it that way,
12:30
Speaker 1: because they wanted to make it clear. And what does
12:32
Speaker 1: this say to Ukraine? With this says to Ukraine as Hey,
12:34
Speaker 1: we don't really need are Ukraine? You don't really need
12:37
Speaker 1: to win the war, you don't want to lose the war.
12:40
Speaker 1: What you want to do is probably just keep it
12:41
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle, and then we'll keep sending you
12:43
Speaker 1: more money than you could have ever imagined. Okay, you
12:47
Speaker 1: could have that's what you're telling them. You're telling them,
12:52
Speaker 1: don't really fight this thing. Just kind of tinker back
12:56
Speaker 1: and forth, tinker back and forth, and prolong it.
13:03
Speaker 3: That's what it says.
13:04
Speaker 1: It says, prolong the war, right, just prolong this war.
13:08
Speaker 1: And if you guys will prolong this war, we're going
13:12
Speaker 1: to keep sending you money indefinitely. What does success look like?
13:16
Speaker 1: That's the question I ask, and no one could answer it.
13:20
Speaker 1: My question for the White House is a very simple question.
13:22
Speaker 1: What does success look like? Can anyone answer me what
13:27
Speaker 1: success looks like? Can anyone tell me what real success
13:34
Speaker 1: is going to look like? What is the definition of failure?
13:38
Speaker 1: Can anyone tell me what that looks like? If somebody
13:44
Speaker 1: could explain those or answer those basic questions, it would
13:47
Speaker 1: be amazing to hear that.
13:50
Speaker 3: But this is not about that, folks. And I go
13:53
Speaker 3: back to what I said earlier.
13:55
Speaker 1: Who needs Democrats or in the country when Republicans are
13:57
Speaker 1: doing all this stuff for the Democrats on their behalf.
14:01
Speaker 1: What I do know is neither parties listening to the
14:03
Speaker 1: American people because on both sides of the aisle, the
14:05
Speaker 1: majority of Americans are saying no to the funding the Ukraine.
14:07
Speaker 1: There's other things that they care about, specifically what I
14:11
Speaker 1: said earlier, what I said earlier, specifically what I said
14:16
Speaker 1: earlier is so vitally important.
14:19
Speaker 3: What I said earlier.
14:22
Speaker 1: About they were going to do this, and they don't
14:24
Speaker 1: care what you think, and they don't care about the
14:27
Speaker 1: future of this country. That don't care, and they go,
14:29
Speaker 1: oh no, there's some loans in here, so there's some
14:32
Speaker 1: loan things that will work here. So this is somehow
14:35
Speaker 1: going to be good. You want to know how much
14:37
Speaker 1: they hate you. Now, there was something else that happened
14:40
Speaker 1: this week. Biden moved to restrict new oil and gas
14:45
Speaker 1: leasing it on part of a federal petroleum reserve in Alaska.
14:50
Speaker 1: And he did it this week because the extreme environmental
14:54
Speaker 1: left said you better do it, or we're going to
14:57
Speaker 1: or we may not support you in this upcoming election.
14:59
Speaker 1: And you know what he did, said, Okay, I'll do it.
15:01
Speaker 1: You know what this means for our energy independence. While
15:03
Speaker 1: we're not sanctioning, for example, Iran, now we have let
15:08
Speaker 1: me rephrase that we have sanctions on Iran's oil we're
15:10
Speaker 1: just not enforcing them.
15:12
Speaker 2: Iran is selling billions of barrels of oil.
15:16
Speaker 1: We have a sanction that's put in place on those
15:18
Speaker 1: oil barrels, but we're not enforcing it, and they're selling
15:21
Speaker 1: it on the black market. The majority of the tankers
15:23
Speaker 1: are going to China because China desperately needs it. We
15:27
Speaker 1: have gas prices now that are three dollars plus a
15:29
Speaker 1: gallon depending on where you live. That's not helping the
15:32
Speaker 1: American people. They are struggling in this economy either. But
15:36
Speaker 1: do you think this administration gives a ratchar inn about
15:38
Speaker 1: you and what you care about? Clearly not center Sullivan
15:43
Speaker 1: on face the nation said this about Biden's new move
15:46
Speaker 1: that's going to cost you a ton more money.
15:48
Speaker 7: The president wants to have been served thirty percent of
15:50
Speaker 7: US lands as part of his climate change efforts. And
15:53
Speaker 7: he has limited oil and gas drilling in parts of
15:56
Speaker 7: the National Petroleum Reserve to protect polar bears and other things.
16:00
Speaker 7: And then he also blocked a roll road excuse me,
16:04
Speaker 7: crucial to operating a copper and zinc mine. You said
16:07
Speaker 7: this is suicidal and lawless.
16:09
Speaker 2: It was, it builds a strong words.
16:11
Speaker 3: Well, it's lawless.
16:12
Speaker 8: He doesn't have the authority to do it, and I
16:13
Speaker 8: can go into all the laws that support me on that. It's,
16:17
Speaker 8: as I say, national security suicide. Look, this president won't
16:20
Speaker 8: sanction the Iranian oil and gas regime. You may have
16:23
Speaker 8: seen Center Blumenthal and I put sent a letter of
16:26
Speaker 8: the President on Fridays and you need to do that.
16:28
Speaker 8: But he has no problem sanctioning Alaska. That this administration
16:32
Speaker 8: has issued sixty three executive orders and executive actions singularly
16:39
Speaker 8: focused on Alaska to shut our state down. Now that
16:42
Speaker 8: of course hurts my constituents, but Margaret a national resources,
16:46
Speaker 8: energy critical minerals, that's an American strength. This should concern
16:50
Speaker 8: all kinds of Americans. I'll mention one final thing I
16:53
Speaker 8: really wanted to highlight here. You know, I've been in
16:55
Speaker 8: the Senate nine years. I have never seen such a
16:58
Speaker 8: cynical and discon on this display coming out of any presidency.
17:02
Speaker 8: When this president on Friday was Secretary Holland announced that
17:06
Speaker 8: they did this because the Alaska Native the indigenous people
17:10
Speaker 8: on the North Slope of Alaska, asked them to They
17:13
Speaker 8: wanted them to these The leaders of the North Slope
17:16
Speaker 8: of Alaska were unanimous in opposition to this. They tried
17:21
Speaker 8: to meet with Secretary holland she.
17:22
Speaker 3: Wouldn't meet with them. This is a rule that focuses.
17:25
Speaker 8: On their lands where they've been living for thousands of years.
17:28
Speaker 8: And then the President says, well, I did it because
17:31
Speaker 8: the Indigenous people of Alaska wanted it.
17:34
Speaker 3: That is a lie, and I it is a lie.
17:37
Speaker 8: And go see what the Indigenous people of Alaska from
17:40
Speaker 8: that part of my state said. They're very upset and
17:43
Speaker 8: the president was canceling their voices and now stealing their voices.
17:47
Speaker 3: It was really a despicable move. Are you surprised though?
17:51
Speaker 1: Senator Selvin saying this guy not only is he part
17:53
Speaker 1: of a federal patrona reserve in Alaska and its lawlessness,
17:56
Speaker 1: but he says the President says, well, I did it
17:58
Speaker 1: because the Indigenous people wonted it.
18:00
Speaker 3: That's a lie.
18:02
Speaker 1: The Center from Alaska is telling you the President units
18:04
Speaker 1: it's America just invoked the Indigenous people of Alaska as
18:07
Speaker 1: the reason and justification for doing this. In reality, this
18:10
Speaker 1: is part of the Green New Deal. It's a religion,
18:14
Speaker 1: that's what it is. It is a religion. It is
18:19
Speaker 1: a religion, and it's a religion that the hardcore left
18:24
Speaker 1: is obsessed with and this president United States of America
18:27
Speaker 1: is doing everything it can to force you into an
18:29
Speaker 1: electric vehicle.
18:30
Speaker 3: How do you do that?
18:31
Speaker 1: You make gas prices go up, how much a lot
18:34
Speaker 1: more than they are right now. That's how you make
18:37
Speaker 1: it go up. It's really, honestly that simple. You make
18:42
Speaker 1: gas prices skyrocket, you make them go to five six
18:46
Speaker 1: seven dollars a gallon, and then people will start looking
18:50
Speaker 1: at electric vehicles and they say, that's great, because that's
18:54
Speaker 1: how we save the environment. And we go all in
18:58
Speaker 1: to save the environment. It doesn't matter how much it
19:02
Speaker 1: hurts the American people. It doesn't matter how much it
19:05
Speaker 1: hurts the American family, it doesn't matter how much it
19:08
Speaker 1: hurts minorities, it doesn't matter how much it hurts anyone.
19:12
Speaker 1: So congratulations America. You didn't get just screwed once. You
19:15
Speaker 1: got screwed twice. You got screwed on gas and oil exploration.
19:21
Speaker 1: At the same time, they said, we're also going to
19:24
Speaker 1: screw you on Ukraine funding. That is going to cost
19:28
Speaker 1: you sixty plus billion. We got to barrow the money,
19:31
Speaker 1: so it's going to cost even more than that. Democratic
19:36
Speaker 1: Center Bob Casey has come out and said this on MSNBC.
19:43
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it again.
19:44
Speaker 1: Democratic Center Bob Casey, talking about how important it is
19:49
Speaker 1: that we give all this money to Ukraine, said this
19:53
Speaker 1: about the ninety five billion dollar aid package the Senate's
19:56
Speaker 1: going to take up on Tuesday.
19:58
Speaker 9: Most of these dollars are a really investment in America,
20:02
Speaker 9: in in our defense industrial base. We will be producing
20:06
Speaker 9: the weapons that the Iranians used to defeat Latimer Putin.
20:09
Speaker 9: So it's a good moment for the country. That'll be
20:11
Speaker 9: that'll be on Tuesday.
20:13
Speaker 3: Wait, wait, hold on a second.
20:15
Speaker 1: So we're lining the pockets of defense contractors with the
20:20
Speaker 1: money that we're giving to Ukraine to buy the weaponry
20:24
Speaker 1: in America. That is going to defense contractors that lobbied
20:28
Speaker 1: for this multi billion, ninety five billion dollar aid package,
20:33
Speaker 1: which was really just a ninety five billion dollar package
20:36
Speaker 1: of buying arms.
20:38
Speaker 3: And he says it's a good thing, because I want
20:41
Speaker 3: to make sure I heard that right.
20:43
Speaker 1: We will be producing the weapons that the Iranians use
20:47
Speaker 1: to defeat Vladimir Putin. So we're giving weapons to the Iranians, now,
20:52
Speaker 1: this is Democratic Center Bob Casey.
20:55
Speaker 9: We will be producing the weapons that the Iranians used
20:58
Speaker 9: to defeat Latimer Putin, so it's a good moment for
21:00
Speaker 9: the country. That'll be on Tuesday.
21:03
Speaker 1: That'll be on Tuesday, we will be producing the weapons
21:06
Speaker 1: at the Iranian Jews to deviat Vladimir Putin. Now you
21:09
Speaker 1: could say, maybe you screwed up and said the wrong
21:12
Speaker 1: thing there. I don't know, right, maybe right, Or maybe
21:19
Speaker 1: he's telling the truth. Maybe he knows something that I
21:22
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe he knows something by the way, an unwell.
21:28
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton also went on a delusional rant claiming that
21:32
Speaker 1: President Trump is modeling himself after Putin and ggping and
21:38
Speaker 1: Kim Jong on to quote kill his oppression, in prison
21:43
Speaker 1: his opposition, and drive journalists and others into exile. Wait,
21:50
Speaker 1: isn't that exactly what the Democrats are literally doing right now?
21:53
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. Now I know, I have fair warning.
21:56
Speaker 1: This is Hillary Clinton's voice you're about to hear. But
21:59
Speaker 1: she is now a and this is what the left
22:01
Speaker 1: does so well, they will accuse you of doing something
22:04
Speaker 1: and it's the exact damn thing they're doing right now. Listen,
22:09
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, and I apologize for a voice, but it's
22:12
Speaker 1: important you hear it.
22:13
Speaker 10: Putin does what he would like to do. Kill his opposition,
22:17
Speaker 10: imprison his opposition, drive you know, journalists and others into exile,
22:23
Speaker 10: rule without any check or balance. That's what Trump really wants.
22:29
Speaker 10: And so we have to be very conscious of how
22:33
Speaker 10: he sees the world, because in that world, he only
22:37
Speaker 10: sees strong men leaders. He sees Putin, he sees she,
22:41
Speaker 10: he sees Kim Jong nun in North Korea. Those are
22:45
Speaker 10: the people he is modeling himself after. And we've been
22:51
Speaker 10: down this road in our you know, world history. We
22:54
Speaker 10: sure don't want to go down that again. And especially
22:56
Speaker 10: when my view, having negotiated with Putin and knowing that
23:01
Speaker 10: one of the reasons he went after me is because
23:03
Speaker 10: he knew I would you deal with him in an
23:05
Speaker 10: appropriate way?
23:07
Speaker 2: And Trump would basically do whatever he wanted.
23:09
Speaker 10: Putin does what he would like to do, kill his opposition,
23:13
Speaker 10: in prison his opposition.
23:15
Speaker 1: Wow, that is Hillary Clinton on a delusional rant claiming
23:21
Speaker 1: that President Trump was modeling himself after Putin g and
23:25
Speaker 1: Kim Jong ung to kill his opposition in prison, his opposition,
23:30
Speaker 1: drive journalists and others into exile.
23:34
Speaker 3: I'm sorry I have to I just had to ask
23:35
Speaker 3: a couple of questions here.
23:37
Speaker 1: Which party Is it that's running off of trying in
23:40
Speaker 1: prison Donald Trump? Would that be Democrats? Alvin Bragg ran
23:43
Speaker 1: on it isn't it Alvin Bragg that's raised eight hundred
23:47
Speaker 1: plus thousand dollars for re election off of going after
23:50
Speaker 1: Donald Trump? Isn't it Democrats and the state attorney general
23:58
Speaker 1: who said they're going to go after Donald Trump and tried.
24:01
Speaker 3: To take his buildings.
24:04
Speaker 1: Isn't it Democrats who have lied about Russian collusion knowing
24:09
Speaker 1: that it was actually Hillary Clinton that paid for the
24:10
Speaker 1: Steele dossier, her campaign and the Democrat National Committee that
24:13
Speaker 1: paid for the Steele dossier. Isn't it the media and
24:19
Speaker 1: the journalists, the fake journalists and the media that are
24:23
Speaker 1: driving anyone that disagrees with them into exile? Remember January
24:28
Speaker 1: the sixth, right, don't forget that. Don't forget that. And
24:35
Speaker 1: isn't it the same media that lies to you every
24:37
Speaker 1: single day about what's happening in this world.
24:41
Speaker 3: I'll give you an example. Biden campaign co chairman.
24:45
Speaker 1: Had this to say, falsely claiming that Biden is quote
24:49
Speaker 1: standing for peace and Republicans would stoke the flames of war.
24:53
Speaker 1: Remember when they said that that Donald Trump who got
24:55
Speaker 1: us into zero Wars was gonna take us into World
24:59
Speaker 1: War three? Do you remember that? Yeah, and the media
25:03
Speaker 1: talking to Governor JB. Democrat from Illinois and allowing him
25:10
Speaker 1: to put out this propaganda without questioning it.
25:14
Speaker 11: Today, when you think about the protests, it's Joe Biden
25:19
Speaker 11: that's standing for peace and a lasting piece at that.
25:23
Speaker 11: And it's the Republicans that, frankly would stoke the flames
25:27
Speaker 11: of war in the Middle East. So we did see
25:30
Speaker 11: a protest at O'Hare this week, but I think you
25:33
Speaker 11: should notice that protesters were out and about across the
25:37
Speaker 11: country and it was in Chicago where they ended that protest.
25:41
Speaker 3: Soonest. Wow. So there you go, Biden co chair.
25:46
Speaker 1: Remember President Trump delivered four years of worldwide peace is
25:49
Speaker 1: what you need to think about through strength. Then Biden
25:52
Speaker 1: took office and what happened since then total chaos and
25:55
Speaker 1: anarchy around the world. You have a full blown war
25:58
Speaker 1: between Iran and Israel. You have Hamas and Hezbolak coming
26:02
Speaker 1: after Israel. You have Russia invading Ukraine. You have what's
26:06
Speaker 1: happening now in the Middle East and Afghanistan. You have
26:10
Speaker 1: US pulling out and showing weakness in American troops being killed.
26:14
Speaker 1: But hey, everything's great. This guy is doing everything perfect.
26:21
Speaker 1: He went on to say, people understand that it's Joe
26:23
Speaker 1: Biden that stands for American values. What are Americans values
26:29
Speaker 1: in would be the follow up question that you would
26:31
Speaker 1: have thought that CNN would have asked, Right, but they're
26:33
Speaker 1: the communists news network. Biden has surrendered the US border.
26:38
Speaker 1: Is that an American value? Biden has prioritized the legal
26:42
Speaker 1: aliens over US citizens. Is that an American value? Biden
26:46
Speaker 1: has weaponized the judicial system against its top political rival,
26:49
Speaker 1: Donald Trump?
26:50
Speaker 3: Is that the American value?
26:53
Speaker 1: And he goes on TV and he says, this is
26:55
Speaker 1: American values, that he's an American values guy.
26:57
Speaker 3: No, he's not. He's a communist CNN ask any questions.
27:01
Speaker 11: No, people understand that there are really only two candidates
27:05
Speaker 11: that have a path to victory in this country and
27:08
Speaker 11: in Michigan, and of course that's Joe Biden and Donald Trump.
27:12
Speaker 11: And the challenge for people is, you know, you're you're
27:15
Speaker 11: looking at two very different sets of values. And I
27:19
Speaker 11: think people understand that it's Joe Biden that stands for
27:22
Speaker 11: American values.
27:24
Speaker 3: No he doesn't.
27:25
Speaker 1: He stands up for the illegal immigrant who aren't even Americans.
27:28
Speaker 1: Those are the values of the Biden administration to America
27:33
Speaker 1: last the rest of the world.
27:34
Speaker 3: First.
27:36
Speaker 1: NBC News, by the way, came out with a new
27:38
Speaker 1: poll job approval of recent president to the same point
27:41
Speaker 1: in their presidencies.
27:42
Speaker 3: You want to know where George Bush George H. HW.
27:45
Speaker 1: Bush was forty three percent, Clinton fifty two percent, w
27:50
Speaker 1: forty three, fifty percent, Obama forty nine, Trump forty six.
27:54
Speaker 1: Where's Biden all the way down at forty two percent
27:58
Speaker 1: forty two percent? But hey, he's got his job. NBC
28:02
Speaker 1: poll which Canada is better at handling a crisis? Trump
28:05
Speaker 1: has a four percent lead in that category. Strong record
28:07
Speaker 1: as a president Trump is seven percent lead. Competent and
28:11
Speaker 1: effective Trump a nine percent lead, and necessary mental and
28:15
Speaker 1: physical health.
28:16
Speaker 3: Trump has a nineteen percent lead.
28:19
Speaker 1: In Inflation is costing the average American family now about
28:24
Speaker 1: twenty three thousand dollars more than it costs you to
28:28
Speaker 1: live in twenty twenty. The new report coming out saying
28:32
Speaker 1: that families are now spending on average nine hundred and
28:36
Speaker 1: forty dollars more in January of twenty twenty four than
28:40
Speaker 1: they did in January of twenty twenty. The average household
28:44
Speaker 1: income per month is about six thousand dollars according to
28:48
Speaker 1: some of the latest data coming out, and what that
28:50
Speaker 1: means is, well, you're having to spend almost one thousand
28:53
Speaker 1: dollars more every month making your standard of living stay
28:57
Speaker 1: the same as it was in twenty twenty. Now, this
29:00
Speaker 1: is obviously having a big impact on our economy. It's
29:04
Speaker 1: having an impact on housing prices all right. If you
29:08
Speaker 1: look at housing costs, they have skyrocketed in this country.
29:13
Speaker 1: And we are also now seeing people are worried about
29:16
Speaker 1: their retirement because what it means is you're going to
29:18
Speaker 1: have to save more now to pay for what it's
29:22
Speaker 1: going to cost later because inflation, if it contendues on
29:26
Speaker 1: this astronomical pace. There's also something else that people are
29:29
Speaker 1: very worried about, especially those fifty and older. It is
29:32
Speaker 1: about saving enough for retirement. I want to bring in
29:36
Speaker 1: a friend of mine now to talk about this. It's
29:38
Speaker 1: Alan Johnson's a managing director of Freedom Gold.
29:40
Speaker 3: Alan. I appreciate you coming on.
29:43
Speaker 1: I want to talk specifically and I got a lot
29:45
Speaker 1: of questions for you, so I want to go.
29:46
Speaker 3: Through this right now.
29:49
Speaker 1: The strategy when it comes to retirement has to be
29:52
Speaker 1: looked at very differently than it was five years ago
29:55
Speaker 1: or even ten years ago, because it's costing so much
29:58
Speaker 1: more now to live the same what you did five
30:01
Speaker 1: years ago and especially ten years ago.
30:03
Speaker 3: Am I wrong?
30:04
Speaker 12: No, you're right?
30:06
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? And how do people's mindsets
30:09
Speaker 1: need to change? If you know that it's changing the
30:11
Speaker 1: way you're going to have to look even at retirement,
30:14
Speaker 1: or maybe even how long you're going.
30:15
Speaker 12: To have to work, you know, then I'll tell you
30:19
Speaker 12: we all know the biden Anomics is not working. It
30:22
Speaker 12: was never going to work from day one. We've got
30:26
Speaker 12: one trillion dollars in new debt every hundred days.
30:30
Speaker 1: And this is what you got to say that again,
30:33
Speaker 1: because I don't think people understand that every hundred days,
30:37
Speaker 1: our our national.
30:38
Speaker 2: Debt is going up a brillion dollars.
30:41
Speaker 1: So that's more than three trillion we're going to add
30:43
Speaker 1: the national debt this year alone.
30:46
Speaker 12: That's right. The dollar, the US dollar is in what
30:50
Speaker 12: we call a death spiral, and that's because our federal
30:55
Speaker 12: government is going deeper in the red by creating one
31:00
Speaker 12: trillion dollars in new death every hundred days.
31:05
Speaker 1: You look at that and then you see another headline
31:08
Speaker 1: that's come out. Barons has this headline from three days ago.
31:12
Speaker 1: Gold prices are rallying and here's why what to expect.
31:15
Speaker 1: The price of gold is up fifteen percent this year
31:18
Speaker 1: to a recent new high of twenty four and nine dollars,
31:21
Speaker 1: and has gained twenty two percent since the Federal Reserve
31:26
Speaker 1: began raising interest rates in March. Why is it that
31:30
Speaker 1: gold prices are going up as a federal reserve is
31:32
Speaker 1: raising interest rates.
31:35
Speaker 12: Well, I'll tell you what's happening. The market is speaking,
31:39
Speaker 12: and what it's doing is it's concluding that these currencies
31:43
Speaker 12: have a problem. So what's happening is capital is flowing
31:48
Speaker 12: into the old kind of money that's held up for
31:50
Speaker 12: thousands of years, like gold. And what that shows you
31:55
Speaker 12: is that's a vote against the dollar. When you see
31:59
Speaker 12: gold spiking like it is now, that's a big vote
32:03
Speaker 12: of no confidence in the dollar. And you know, there's
32:07
Speaker 12: no way to know how this is actually going to
32:09
Speaker 12: play out in the next few months. But I'll tell
32:12
Speaker 12: you one thing. This is terrifying the central banks because
32:17
Speaker 12: they're behaving as like aggressively buying gold and they've bought
32:23
Speaker 12: Listen to this number, one thousand tons of gold in
32:27
Speaker 12: each of the last two years.
32:30
Speaker 3: Again, who is that again that's buying that much gold?
32:34
Speaker 12: The central banks, not just you know, the central banks,
32:37
Speaker 12: all around the globe. This is happening everywhere. So they're
32:41
Speaker 12: aggressively buying gold. And they've bought about one thousand tons
32:46
Speaker 12: of gold in each of just the last two years. Well,
32:49
Speaker 12: one thousand tons is a fourth of the gold that
32:53
Speaker 12: comes out of all the gold mines in a given year,
32:57
Speaker 12: So that's a major purchase. And you know, they they
33:00
Speaker 12: don't turn around and sell it. They take it off
33:03
Speaker 12: the market. They take that gold off the market and
33:06
Speaker 12: they put it away as a reserve asset. So what's
33:10
Speaker 12: happening is the gold is effectively disappearing and this makes
33:14
Speaker 12: the market become even tighter. And this is also a
33:18
Speaker 12: part of the reason why gold is going on.
33:21
Speaker 2: Let's talk about another headline.
33:23
Speaker 1: ABC News has it this way, gold prices hit a
33:26
Speaker 1: record high.
33:26
Speaker 3: What's behind the surge?
33:27
Speaker 1: They said the price of gold has climbed seventeen percent
33:30
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, and they said that shoppers are
33:32
Speaker 1: flocking even to places like Costco to buy gold bars,
33:37
Speaker 1: and they the reason why they're doing it is they're
33:39
Speaker 1: tired of seeing their stock market and their mutual funds
33:43
Speaker 1: be their only investment, especially.
33:45
Speaker 3: As gold's doing what it's doing.
33:46
Speaker 1: So there is a scary aspect of this with people
33:50
Speaker 1: that are listening right now. You call some of these
33:52
Speaker 1: companies out there and they're like, oh, it's doomsday, put
33:55
Speaker 1: all your money in gold or put all your money
33:57
Speaker 1: in silver, and they take massive commissions. So you start
34:00
Speaker 1: up so upside down for the day you bought that.
34:03
Speaker 1: It's like highway robbery. What's the warning for that as well,
34:07
Speaker 1: because that's an important warning.
34:10
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, you know, you want to get
34:12
Speaker 12: with a reputable group like us, for instance, are what
34:16
Speaker 12: we call spreads or premiums are very low. We come
34:20
Speaker 12: in below most all everybody out there, and the reason
34:24
Speaker 12: being is we just do not charge those huge premiums.
34:27
Speaker 12: We're not, you know, putting our money into all these
34:32
Speaker 12: celebrities out there where they have to charge these huge premiums.
34:35
Speaker 12: But the reason people are scared is because, yeah, their
34:41
Speaker 12: stocks are going down, talking about black swan events, all
34:45
Speaker 12: these different things. But really what they need to know
34:48
Speaker 12: is that gold is viewed as the ideal head against
34:52
Speaker 12: this inflation, because look, inflation isn't going backwards, it's going forward.
34:58
Speaker 12: Our numbers are going to go up. And with gold,
35:01
Speaker 12: what it does is this value tends to rise when
35:05
Speaker 12: the price of goods goes up. And this is because
35:08
Speaker 12: our GREENI I call it risky fiat currency because all
35:14
Speaker 12: it is is debt. Well, what happens is it loses
35:17
Speaker 12: its purchasing power when things become more expensive. And then
35:21
Speaker 12: guess what gold tends to be priced into those currency units.
35:26
Speaker 12: And I'll tell you if you look back, say fifty
35:28
Speaker 12: years ago, gold prices have kept up with inflation and
35:33
Speaker 12: the metals purchasing power has increased, while the dollar has
35:37
Speaker 12: lost its value and its purchasing power. And I want
35:40
Speaker 12: to give you one example to your listeners. In nineteen thirty,
35:45
Speaker 12: one hundredth of an ounce of gold would buy two
35:49
Speaker 12: and a half loads of bread, and a dollar back
35:52
Speaker 12: then would buy eleven loads of bread. Now fast forward
35:56
Speaker 12: to where we are today, that same tiny, little one
36:00
Speaker 12: hundredth of an ounce of gold can buy fifteen loaves
36:04
Speaker 12: of bread. But guess what a dollar one half a
36:07
Speaker 12: loaf of bread. So what does that tell us? That
36:09
Speaker 12: means that gold has more or less case with the
36:13
Speaker 12: price of bread over that period while the dollar has eroded.

37:04
Speaker 1: on gold that gives you intel.
37:05
Speaker 3: And I say this because I've actually worked with you guys.
37:08
Speaker 1: You guys charge twenty to thirty percent less than other
37:12
Speaker 1: companies for the same gold, which is yeah, way less.

37:18
Speaker 1: and being a part of your portfolio. And you guys
37:20
Speaker 1: never tell people put all your money in gold, which
37:22
Speaker 1: is I think a horrific, terrible thing that happens when
37:26
Speaker 1: people take advantage of a lot of senior citizens. They'll
37:28
Speaker 1: scare them and say, oh, get all your money in gold,
37:31
Speaker 1: and they charge a mass and premium and it makes
37:33
Speaker 1: me angry. And that's why I want people to know
37:35
Speaker 1: about you. But also the website where they can read more.
37:39
Speaker 12: Where do they go, Yeah, they can go to freedom
37:42
Speaker 12: GOOLDUSA dot com. And let me just share one thing.
37:45
Speaker 12: I'm so happy to hear you say that, because I
37:48
Speaker 12: can't tell you how much enough. I say diversified, diversified, diversify.
37:53
Speaker 12: And the reason I say that is a lot of
37:55
Speaker 12: the major asset classes today, like stops, real estate, and commodities,
38:01
Speaker 12: they're all correlated, and so what they do is they
38:03
Speaker 12: move in the direction the same direction at the same time. Gold, however,
38:09
Speaker 12: is driven by a completely different set of factors, and
38:12
Speaker 12: it has a low correlation with those other assets. So,
38:14
Speaker 12: in other words, Gold's performance moves independently and may help
38:20
Speaker 12: serve as a return diversifier with a broader multi asset portfolio. So,
38:25
Speaker 12: just like you said, it aligns perfectly with the investment
38:29
Speaker 12: mantra of not putting all your eggs in one basket.
38:32
Speaker 12: What it does do is it provides you a safety
38:35
Speaker 12: net against events that may plummet the value of popular
38:40
Speaker 12: investments livestock.
