MAGA IS WINNING: Senate Votes ‘Yes’ to Repeal Biden’s Federal Vaccine Mandate. This on top of 2 different judges striking down vax mandates for healthcare and govt contract workers! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The fact Checkers were out about a month ago in
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: this country saying that you and I are crazy if
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we brought up the idea that we could lose our
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: vaccination status as being fully vaccinated because we didn't get
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: a booster. Now, I've been warning you about this and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: others have now for at least a month or two,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and they kept saying, you gotta get a booster, you
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: gotta get a booster, You gotta get a booster, and
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: then you may not be able to do things if
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you don't get a booster, and then the boosters are important. Man.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: Without a booster, you're not fully vaccinated. And we could
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: see this coming and I was warning you it was coming.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: So if you go back to last month, November the fourth,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the fact checkers freaked out in fact check the governor
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: of Florida, and they said that the Santests was falsely
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: claiming that vaccinated American citizens without boosters could be declared
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: unvaccinated and lose their jobs in this country. Well, guess
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: what that's exactly now what has happened if you fast
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: forward to doctor Fauci in the last twenty four hours,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna exactly from Fauci It's going to be a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: matter of when, not if, the definition of fully vaccinated
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: quote unquote changes from just two shots. That is what
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: doctor Fauci said on CNN. Now, this is important because
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: it could mean that you could lose your job, You
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: could lose your right to travel, Your children could lose
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the right to go to school. Your children could lose
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the right to go to college. They could be d
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: enrolled from a university because they would lose their fully
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: vaccine status. Now, so many kids in this country got
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: vaccine so they could attend school. Talking specifically about colleges
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for a moment, and you would be d enrolled. All right,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that's not even up for debate. You will be d
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: enrolled at many universities, public and private if you do
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: not get fully vaccinated. Well, fully vaccine used to mean
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: two shots. Now right now, my question is am I
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: or do I have full vac status? Because this is
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the month that I am technically eligible to get a
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: booster shot. I have not decided on whether I am
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: going to get vaccinated or not with the booster I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: haven't decided yet because I haven't been able to sit
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: down yet and talk to my doctor. Now, one interesting
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: thing is happening in this country right now, and that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: is the courts are deciding over and over again now
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: consistently that the White House has gone way too far
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on these vaccine mandates. We are seeing this, Okay, The Senate,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: for example, just voted yes to repeal Biden's federal vaccine mandate.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: In fact, us Senate voted fifty two to forty eight
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in favor of repealing President Joe Biden's federal vaccine mandate
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: for private businesses and what amounts to a symbolic bullets administration.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Now this is not, i want to be clear, going
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to change the outcome because the House is going to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: stick with Biden on this one. But keeping true to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: their word, some Democrats that were moderates in the Senate,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Mansion and John Tester, sided with the Republicans to
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: repeal the mandate under the congress National Review Act. Now,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: let me explain to you what the Congressional Review Act does.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It allows Congress to review executive orders of the president,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: and when they review them, if they think he got
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: it wrong, they can actually overturn them. Mike Braun, a
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Republican from Indiana who sponsored the bill, said the Biden
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: policy had main Street scared and it was wrong, saying, quote,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it's got main Street America scared. They're worried about it. Well,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: what does this mean on other issues? Anybody who thinks
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this is a good idea referring to vaccine mandates, imagine
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: the next time it happens when you're on the wrong
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: side of whatever the merits of the case would be. Now,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: in a moment, I'm going to be joined by US
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Senator Marshall Blackburn to talk about this vote, so stick
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: around for that. Earlier this week, John Tessa, who held
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: from a state that heavily favored Donald Trump, indicated that
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: he would vote along with Republicans to nullify Biden's mandate.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He said, quote, I'm just not crazy about mandates. Senator
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Joe Manchin, also a Democrat West Virginia, announced last week
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: he does not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses, saying,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I do not support any government vaccine mandate on private businesses.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: That's why I have co sponsored and will strongly support
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: a bill to overturn the federal government vaccine mandate for
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: private businesses. Now, this is another blow to the Biden
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: administration overreaching The Biden administration suffered yet another legal blow
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: this week when a federal judge also issued an injunction
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: striking down the vaccine mandate for federal contractors, arguing that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their claims that
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the president exceeded the authorization that is given to him
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: by Congress. Now, despite the Senate's repeal on Wednesday, the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: bill will likely die in the House. Democrats have a
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: thin majority rule there, and we have seen based on
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the data coming out from those members that will be
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: voting on this, they're not going to do what the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Senate just did. So let's go back to doctor Fauci.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Doctor Fauci has been asked now about the overturn by
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: this court on these vaccine mandates and Congress in what
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: they are doing. Last week, just so you know, another
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: federal judge also issued an injunction against Biden's national vaccine
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: mandate for healthcare workers. So this is three major strikes
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to Biden, two of them substantial, one of them more symbolic.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: In the Senate. But this is again, this is why
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I've been saying for months on end lawyer up, get
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: a lawyer fight back. So Faucci was asked, and I'm
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: gonna play for you, Andrew Mitchell. She could barely find
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the words to say to Fauci because she was so
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: disappointed that the US government and the Biden administration and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Faucci is basically getting smacked around. And that's exactly what's happening.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: They're getting smacked around, and she's like distraught over this.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So it's like she's having a funeral with Faucci on
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: live TV breaking news. Fauci do not underestimate the importance
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: of COVID testing and vaccines, is the headline at the
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: bottom of the screen. But listen to their conversation there.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: It's like they're in total shock. Take a listen. But yeah,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: because not at all a sure thing in the court system.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Is there any thought of backing off of that and
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: trying to avoid, you know, all the outcry against it. Yeah,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: but you know, Andrew, we really have to get people vaccinated.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, I understand, and we all understand how people
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: do not like to be told what to do. They
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: want to make their own choice in their own free will.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I get that, and I respect that, but these are
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: unusual time. I love this, I get it that you
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have rights and freedoms. I understand that, but screw it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: You need to get vaccinated. In other words, you have
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: rights as long as things are going well. We'll give
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: your rights on little issues, just not on big issues.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: That's what we're going to do here. We take away
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: all of your rights when we decide that we can
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: take away your which is not how our founding fathers
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: wrot at the Constitution. You don't get to just take
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: away our rights and then get them back to us
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: and then take them away from us depending on what
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you tell us to do. And right now, what they're
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: saying is because they're tyrants. Are not democrats, are tyrants.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden is a tyrant. Comal here's a tyrant. Chuck
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Schumer is a tyrant. Joe doctor Fousi elected by no
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: one is a straight up tyrant communist. Prove me wrong.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: And the words that he just said that. Look, I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: understand people are so you know, enthralled and understand. You know,
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I get why they want to have rights and liberties,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: will not be told what to do and have free
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: will to choose and decide what's best for them. But
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: these are unprecedented times. So all that gets taken away
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and all that goes out the door. That's what they're saying.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: That's literally the argument that's being made right before your
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: very eyes. Like, you can do whatever you want too
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: as long as I decide you can do it, And
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: if I decide you can't do it, then I'm in charging.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: You have no rights at all. I'm the NIH. I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: get that, and I respect that. But these are unusual
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: times and you can't think only of yourself and your
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: own personal opinion, but you've got to think about your
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: communal responsibility to get yourself in your family and indirectly
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: then the community protected. So I would prefer, and we
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: all would prefer, that people would be voluntarily getting vaccinated. Wow,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that's a new ones you hear that voluntarily vaccinated. That's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: a totally different new term that we've not been hurt.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: We've not heard from Fauci or any behind the government.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: We wish, we hope that you would voluntarily do it.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: What does that mean? That means we're about to take
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: away the ability for it to be voluntary. That's what
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: he's telling you right now. We're mandating it. We're going
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: to mandate it for your kids. You're not going to
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: be able to do anything in life without us telling
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: you what you can and cannot do. There is no
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: longer the ability to be voluntary, right for this is
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you know, we tried to do it. We tried to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: make it where it was voluntary. But no longer her sorry, folks,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: no longer is it going to be that way. It's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: no longer going to be voluntary. It's going to be
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: something that's mandated. We're gonna make it something that is mandated.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Listen again to how he slowly approaches us with being
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: quote voluntary. So I would prefer, and we all would
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: prefer that people would be voluntarily getting vaccinated. But if
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: they're not going to do that, sometimes you've got to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: do things that are unpopular, but that clearly supersede individual
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: choices and are directed predominantly at the communal good. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about when we're talking about requirements.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: This is what Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, and Castro always said.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: It's communal good. You don't have rights, it's for the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: communal good. It's all about communal good. You look at
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: these yahoo's. I'm just giving example right now. The Senator
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Bob Dole is lying in stay at the Capitol, and
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: all these senators are walking around the casket and they're
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: all closer than six feet from one another, and they're
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: wearing their masks. Some of them are, some of them aren't.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Rick Scott's not wearing his mask, Lindsay Graham's wearing his mask,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth Dole's wearing her mask. I mean, you can see.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It's it's all over the place. But the part that
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: makes me laugh the most about the theater of this
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: is this is a very serious moment with Bob Doe
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: lying in state in the Capitol rotunda and they've got
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the chairs spaced out six feet. We're still doing that
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: for theater. On TV, these people will walk out of here,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: they'll take their mass off. But on national TV, for
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Bob Doe lying in state, we're gonna keep wearing these
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: masks because we're leaders, folks, and we're gonna spacious six
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: feet apart. Are you kidding me? And it's not just Congress,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it's being stupid. I'll give you an example. Occupied Democrats
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: official twitter page just sent out a tweet saying breaking,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a large Florida landlord has announced that he will begin
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: requiring all new and existing tenants those that currently live
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in his building, to provide roof of COVID vaccination, saying,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: you don't want to get vaccinated, you have to move,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: and if you don't, we will evict you. Illinois has
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: also introduced a bill to force unvaccinated residents to pay
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: out a pocket for their hospital treatment if they catch COVID,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: saying that they must assume the risk and take responsibility
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: for their carelessness. I wonder if they're gonna apply that
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: to people that drive drunk right, or odon drugs, or
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: are just morbidly obese, or smoke. This is what they're
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: really doing now. This is in Illinois. They have actually
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: introduced a real bill to force the unvaccinated to pay
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: out a pocket for their hospital treatment they catch COVID,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: saying they quote must assume the risk and take responsibility
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: for their carelessness. I can apply that to every major
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: issue in this country, or certainly I guess I could
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: say in Chicago with medical issues, you're overweight, you're diabetic,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: you've got heart disease, you've got you get cancer from smoking, Well,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: you gotta take responsibility. That's what I've been saying all along.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: They're trying to device into two countries. This is covid racism.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: You don't get vaccinated, you lose the ability to rent
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: an apartment. You don't get vaccinated, you'll lose your and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: you get sick, You're gonna have to pay for it.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: We're gonna bankrupt you. We're going to force you into submission.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: And this goes back to this Senate vote that we
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just talked about. It's not going to change anything, but
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: it's still important. Symbolically. Joining me now to talk about
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: this and several other issues is US senator from Tennessee,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Marsha Blackburn, Senator. You see this headline, it's certainly one
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: that seems exciting. Let's talk about the excitement but also
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: the reality because now this goes to the House. Were
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: you surprised you guys are able to get the votes
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: to at least vote yes to repeal Biden's federal vaccine
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: mandate in the Senate. What this does is to show
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: how incredibly unpopular this mandate is and Ben the American
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: people do not want it. You have the Democrats, two
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Democrats that crossed over to vote with us to repeal it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: This in's a big message to the House. It will
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: give some of those moderate Democrats the strength to come
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: in and sign the discharge petition with the Republicans to
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: put this on the floor, to hold a vote to
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: repeal this mandate and to keep the American people working.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: They don't seem to be Democrats getting the picture that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: Americans are not happy right now. You have federal judges
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: now that are stepping in. We've seen judges that have
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: stepped in in the last week in two different cases
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: about these government employees they are in these contractors not
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: having to go by these vaccine mandates. We had one
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: judge do that. We had another judge do the same
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: exact thing, stepping in for healthcare workers. Does the Biden
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: administration just not care after they suffer these legal blows
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: or are they just saying we're going to keep mandating it,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: forcing it even if these injunctions keep coming down and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: we keep getting struck down because we're tyrants and we
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: are going to make the people submit to what we
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: tell them they have to do. Yeah, that's pretty much
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: their approach, because, as you said, the American people are
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: with us. The courts are showing that they are with us.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: This is unconstitutional. But see, this is a group of
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: people running the White House right now who want to
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: radically transform this country. When Barack Obama was president, they
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: wanted to transform this country and they said, if we
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: can get Obamacare on the books, we can change healthcare
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: in this country. If we can get DACA on the books.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: And remember when they did DACA for children illegal alien children,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: then what did they say? What did Obama say? He
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: knew it was unconstitutional, but what did he do? He
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: did it anyway? Why did he do it? Because he could?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And so they rolled the dice and took the chance
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: and put Dhacca in place. And look at what it
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: is done to our southern border, into the safety and
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: security of our communities. It's truly incredible to see how
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: they will refuse to look at the laws and continue
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: to just do whatever they want to do like tyrants.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: And even when the law slaps them down, they don't
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: seem to be changing. Course. I'll give them credit. They are.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They're totally focused and taking over our lives and our kids' lives,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and they're willing to run through any wall, even if
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: legally they say you can't do it. It's like a
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: psychotic obsession with owning and controlling the lives of every American,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: every American business, and every child in this country at
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: the same time. And I'm glad at least we have
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: a court system that seems to be standing up to
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: them every time they get the opportunity because they are
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: going across the line and breaking the laws in this country.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I want to shift to a quick center to another
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: very important issue. Legendary announcer Bob Costa really went after
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the NBA last night and said the NBA is up
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: to its neck in China. He also went after the
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: International Olympic Committee and the NBA for what they are doing.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: You know, the Biden administration announced this quote diplomatic boycott
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of the Beijing winner Olympics. It's kind of a joke
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: because a lot of our diplomats wouldn't have gotten in
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: any way because the COVID protocols, or wouldn't have gone
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: anyway because the COVID protocols in Beijing. Even Beijing kind
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of mocking us in other countries doing this. Should we
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: have pulled our athletes because the ongoing genocide that's happening,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: And why didn't we Why didn't the present leading say
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: the Olympics need to be taken away from China. Well,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: first of all, good on Bob Costa for doing that.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I'm glad to see he agrees with me on something,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: and he also agrees with Enis cantor freedom, so that's
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: a good thing. I've been saying for months that we
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: ought not to send to our athletes to Beijing, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I was joined in this effort by Senator Tom Cotton.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I've even recommended last summer. I recommended that we do
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: the Olympic Freedom Games here in the United States of America,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: and that we allow athletes from our allied countries to
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: come here and to compete so that they did not
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: have to go to Beijing. And because these athletes need
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: the ability to compete, they've been training. And then after
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party disappeared Peng Shui, the tennis player,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: because she exposed she literally exposed what she referred to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: as sexual assault by one of the top leaders in
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: the government. That's right, and so they disappeared her for
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: two weeks until the WTA came after them. And now
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the WTA says, look, because you did this, we're not
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: playing tennis in China in twenty twenty two. That's the
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: way you handle these thugs and dictators. You have to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: be tough on them because that's the only language they understand.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Now they're laughing at Joe Biden because they say, oh,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: he's going to threaten an economic sanction that's not going
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to do anything to us. And whether Jijing Ping or
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Putin or any of these other the Ayatollah in Iran,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Kim jar Noon over in North Korea, these people that
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: are the access of evil are watching Joe Biden. They
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: see a week leader and they're going, man, let's ramp
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: it up. This is our time to make headway because
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: this guy's not going to call us back. You know,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I was shocked by the quote from Kassa. I'll give
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: him it because he's not exactly a guy politically I've
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: agreed with much, but he said quote, what is it
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: with the International Olympic Committee and their affinity for authoritarian nations?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: There will be an Olympics, a Summer Olympics in twenty
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: twenty eight in Los Angeles. It will have been since
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: two thousand and two when the Winter Games were in
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: Salt Lake, since there has been Olympics on American soil,
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: and yet American television is the single greatest source of
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: revenue for the IOC. He said. Many IOC delegates remain
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: ticked off the at the US because a free press
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: blew the cover off the Salt Lake bidding scandal. They
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: have long memories about this stuff and the IOC and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: many of those delegates act in a high handed way,
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: and in that sense, you can see where the affinity
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: for authoritarian nations comes in. People get rich off these games.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: We know what happened with Asochi Olympics, and you see
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: this happening. It's very clear there's massive corruption. You can
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: see the IOC lights going to the authoritarian regimes because
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: then they can get all their buddies paid and get kickbacks.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: We saw this in Sochi. We I mean, I mean,
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: it's very very clear what happened with Russia, and we've
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: seen now what's happening this time. And yet Americas, where
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the majority of the funding comes from, the majority of
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the international endorsements for the Olympics, the deals that are
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: made with Nike and with Kelloggs and with Coca Cola
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: are all based American companies that are doing this, and
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: we act like we have no power at all. Meanwhile,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: we have genocide happening where we're sending our American Olympic athletes,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: which concerns me, which brings me up this next question.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Do we have assurances that our American athletes are going
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: to be safe at these Olympic Games. We have not
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: been able to get in the assurances we have written
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the USIOC, and we have tried to get these assurances
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: to I don't think our athletes should go because you
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: cannot ensure their health, their safety, their well being. In
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: addition to that, China is trying to use the Olympic
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Is to push out their digital u Wan. They want
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: to get in the wallet of everybody that goes over there.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Every athlete is going to be given free u wan
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and free wearable so that you can spend your digital
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: you want just by touching a screen with gloves that
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: are programmed. Now, think about how invasive this is of
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: their privacy and ben think about it, and people are
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: worried about DNA collecting. I saw yesterday report that they're
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: worried about the actual DNA collection of these athletes because
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of the premier athletes in the world, and they're going
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: to do it in the in the name of quote
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: COVID testing, and a lot of athletes now and doctors
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: are saying they're very concerned that they're just farming elite
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: DNA from athletes from around the world during these games
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in the name of COVID. Right, You're exactly right. So
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: there are a lot of different levels. I think it
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: is unsafe for athletes to go in and participate, whether
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: it is for their health, their safety, their well being,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: their security, the economic implications of the communist Chinese following
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: every move they make, every place they go, every interaction
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: that they have from now on. Now, think about that,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: because that is how invasive the communist Chinese are and
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: how disrespectful of a person's individual privacy that they are sender.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Before we get into two what's going on with Russia
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and this meeting, I do want to ask you a
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: simple question about what's happening in this country with crime.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: We saw all the accused arsonists who towards the Fox
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: News Christmas Tree get released without having to pay any bill.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: We are now seeing that California store owners are now
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: pricing all their items at nine one dollars, so the
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: thieves will be prosecuted when they're stolen from then they
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: give original retail price coupons at the register pond checkout
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: because they're sick and tired of being robbed and nothing
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: happening to the people that are doing it. My point is,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: from all the way in New York, all the way
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: to California and we saw a flashmob hit right here
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: in the mid South. Is there anything that Congress can
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: do because we're now seeing these quote bail reform policies
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: where you can commit these crimes and that you won't
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: even be prosecuted for it. And people have had enough.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: People have had enough, and safety and security is one
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: of the important things. Now. There is a way that
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: we can move into this, and it's through the JAG grants,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: the criminal justice grants that we give and putting a
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: provision in there that if you are and we've tried
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: this before with grants, if you're a sanctuary city, you
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: cannot qualify for this grant. If you have defund the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: police policies, you cannot apply for this grant. And those
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: are the things restricting those federal funds and ben as
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: you know, our local law enforcement agencies depend on these funds.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: So it could be something if you have cash Bell policies.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: You cannot have facility funds, prison facility funds, or you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: can't have some of the judicial system funds that would
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: enable your local governments to move forward with some of
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: their some of their programs that deal with criminal justice.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: But as long as Democrats are in charge, it's probably
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: you're not going to happen in Congress, right, That's right.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: And if we pass that, you've got a guy sitting
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: in the White House that would veto and send it
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: right back to us. Incredible, they're always sending up for
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the fruit. For one thing, I do want to mention,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: foxnews dot com just posted an op ed I wrote
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: about one our athletes do not need to be invasing,
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: just so that your listeners and know that, Yeah, we'll
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: grab that and link that up on our social media site.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Absolutely do that for sure. I want to ask you
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: about what's happening with Russia right now, and I think
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: all this goes back to Afghanistan. You and I talked
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: multiple times when Afghanistan was happening and unfolding, and it
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: was horrific to watch that we wouldn't even go sixty
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: feet or sixteen feet to get Americans that were outside
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: those gates at the airport. And now what we are
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: saying is the rest of the world realize, Wow, if
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: this administration won't even go sixty feet to get Americans,
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: they're certainly not going to stop us from invading or
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: getting whatever you want to, whether that is going into
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Taiwan or into the uk Krane. We had this zoom
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: call meeting with the President and Putin, and it's very
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: clear we're not going to stop him no matter what
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: we claim. Now we say, oh, we're going to do sanctions.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: How concerned are you right now about not only Taiwan,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: but I worry about this effective Okay, if they can
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: go into Ukraine or they can go into Taiwan and
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: their success American didn't stop. It's open season the rest
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: of the world for anybody that wants to take anything
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: right now because they know that America will not act
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: under the Biden administration. You're exactly right. They look at
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden and they see a week leader and this
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: ridiculous call that he had with Putin. You know, it
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: was so bad that the information we initially got on
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the call came through the Russian press, it didn't come
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: from the White House. And then then they delayed their
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: press conference on the call like three times while they
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: were getting their story together about what happened on the call.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: But Biden basically said, Okay, if you keep building up
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: there on the Ukrainian border, we're going to put some
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: economic sanctions on you and putin who by the way,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you've got putin requested the call, just like with China,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Jijing Ping requested the call, and Joe Biden should have
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: said not only no, he should have said, hell, no,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk to you people until we're
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: talking on my terms. Well, and here's my question when
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: they requested the call, and this is part of what
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: the media has not been reporting and what you're reading
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: into it's the same thing I was reading into when
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: I saw that, is they want to start the clock
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: to do whatever it is their plan is, and starting
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: that clock means we need to see what America says
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: they're going to do so we know how to counter it.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: And if they can pre plan for the sanctions and
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: figure out what that looks like for them, then it's
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: a cause. It's a simple cost analysis. This is just
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: like buying a piece of property. What's it going to
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: cost us? Is it worth it, and is the profit
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: of owning Ukraine worth more than the sanctions are going
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: to put on from the US. That's right, That's exactly right,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: because they're already doing the heavy lift. They've got one
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand troops and all of this equipment, artillery.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: They're sitting on forty six hundred nuclear warheads. And you know,
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: here's the deal. When Obama was president and Putin went
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: into Crimea, what did Obama and Biden send to the
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: Ukrainian people? They sent blankets and meals ready to eat.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump comes into office, what does he send Ukraine?
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: He sends the bombs and artillery so they can protect themselves.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: And under Donald Trump, they were able to protect themselves.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: We didn't have to have the US. They're doing it.
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: We sent them what they needed, and our NATO allies
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: stood with Ukraine. That's how you handle these situations. But
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden is becoming known as a cut and run guy,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: and he did that in Afghanistan. And when he did
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: that in Afghanistan, he did create that appearance that he's
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: not going to stand up to anybody. You never leave
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: US citizens on foreign soil. You don't do that Joe Biden,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: and we do that under Joe Biden, and that's the checkmate.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: That's the checkmate, I think moment for everybody that was
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: watching around the world, whether it be a rand, whether
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: it be building a new military base in the middle
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: of the sea, whether it be going into Taiwan or
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Ukraine or anybody else over there, that they want to
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: screw it, because if you go into Ukraine and you
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: do it successfully, you gotta think that they're going to
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: look at other places to expand because Russia would love
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: to get that quote land back. They think it's actually
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: theirs and that and I don't think they're afraid of
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: NATO either at this point because without NATO, without America leading,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: what are they really going to do well? And the
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: thing is, if the United States of America, the world's
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: lone superpower, does not stand up and fight for freedom,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: nobody else is going to take on that fight. And
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: under Joe Biden, what you've got is this Willie Nelly,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: this Mamsie Pamsy, this we just want to love everybody
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: seeing kombay yab and handle things through diplomacy. Well, you know,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: news flash, you cannot have diplomatic relations with the terrorist organization.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: You cannot deal with these dictators the same way you
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: deal with nations that have a democratic basis. It takes
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: a different approach. And as I've said many times, I'm
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: a mom and a grandmom, got a lot of little kids,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: and every child you deal with differently, no doubt about
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: that different relationship. And Ben, that is something that Joe
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Biden does not understand. One size fits all does not
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: work in foreign policy and the safety and security and
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: common defensive this nation. It is item number one on
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the to do list forever and ever. Sendor Blackburn, I
