Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Libs FREAK Over Tucker Interviewing Putin and Border Bill Fails
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: There are a lot of people in the media right
- 0:02Speaker 1: now that are very jealous, jealous of an interview that
- 0:06Speaker 1: they wish they could have done an interview with Vladimir Putin,
- 0:10Speaker 1: an interview that many have been wanting to do over
- 0:13Speaker 1: the last two years as Russia has invaded Ukraine. There
- 0:16Speaker 1: are also many that are afraid and terrified to go
- 0:19Speaker 1: to Russia to do this interview.
- 0:20Speaker 2: And I would be one of those.
- 0:22Speaker 1: No way in hell I would sit there and do
- 0:24Speaker 1: this interview with Vladimir Putin, partly because I've said too
- 0:28Speaker 1: many things about Vladimir Putin that I know he would hate,
- 0:32Speaker 1: and they would do their research, and I would know
- 0:34Speaker 1: there's a really good chance I'm not coming out of
- 0:36Speaker 1: Russia ever, and probably not coming out alive. I also
- 0:40Speaker 1: know that if I was taking hostage in Russell or
- 0:43Speaker 1: was charged with some ridiculous crimes while I was in Russia,
- 0:47Speaker 1: like espionage, or you know, having some sort of vape
- 0:50Speaker 1: juice like the WNBA player, even though I don't vape,
- 0:54Speaker 1: I know that my government would not work hard to
- 0:57Speaker 1: get me back. I know the Biden administration would not
- 1:00Speaker 1: lift a finger. But the reality is there are people
- 1:04Speaker 1: that are very upset that Tuger Carlson took the risk
- 1:06Speaker 1: to go to Russia, and so what do they do.
- 1:09Speaker 2: They attack him, and they.
- 1:11Speaker 1: Go after Tuger Carlson for going.
- 1:13Speaker 2: And asking questions. CNN went all.
- 1:16Speaker 1: In to attack Tuger Carlson, saying that he has nothing
- 1:19Speaker 1: but an agent for MAGA and a stooge for Vladimir Putin.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Why because they couldn't get the interview that they so
- 1:29Speaker 1: desperately wanted. Now, to be clear, and I've said this before,
- 1:34Speaker 1: CNN has interviewed some of the worst people in the world.
- 1:37Speaker 1: And when they do it, they absolutely do it in
- 1:39Speaker 1: the name of journalism, asking questions. They've interviewed some of
- 1:44Speaker 1: the worst people like Saddam Hussein or Kadafi or Vladimir
- 1:47Speaker 1: Putin in the past. Yes, they've interviewed Putin at CNN,
- 1:50Speaker 1: because this is CNN, the most powerful name of news.
- 1:54Speaker 2: But when they don't get the interview, what do they say?
- 1:56Speaker 1: They say that you are basically a Rush sympathizer. You're
- 2:02Speaker 1: one of them, right, and this is no different than
- 2:05Speaker 1: Russian collusion.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Donald Trump is a fan of Vladimir Putin, and he
- 2:09Speaker 1: loves Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin is pulling the strings. It's
- 2:13Speaker 1: the same CNN that told you that Russian collusion was real,
- 2:15Speaker 1: even though it was a lie, and they knew it
- 2:16Speaker 1: was a lie, and they never apologized to you.
- 2:19Speaker 2: This is the same CNN, by.
- 2:21Speaker 1: The way, that also refused to report on the three
- 2:23Speaker 1: million dollars coming into the Biden crime family from the
- 2:26Speaker 1: richest woman in Russia out of Moscow, whose husband was
- 2:29Speaker 1: the former mayor of Moscow, who's one of the best.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Friends of Ladimir Putin.
- 2:33Speaker 1: Now that no, no being bought and sold, bought and
- 2:36Speaker 1: paid for by Russia and being able to do whatever
- 2:38Speaker 1: the hell you want with Joe Biden because you can
- 2:40Speaker 1: blackmail him and his son. Yeah, we won't report on that.
- 2:44Speaker 1: But listen to the disdain from CNN and many others
- 2:47Speaker 1: in the media for Tucker Carlson actually doing this interview.
- 2:51Speaker 3: And good evening. I'm Aaron Burnett out front tonight. Zelenski's
- 2:54Speaker 3: major move it could be more than the military commander
- 2:57Speaker 3: in chief who loses his job in a massive shape
- 3:00Speaker 3: up in Kiev, and it could happen at any moment.
- 3:02Speaker 3: President Zelensky telling Italian broadcaster RII quote a reset is necessary.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I made a replacement of a series of state leaders,
- 3:10Speaker 3: not just in a single sector like the military. The
- 3:14Speaker 3: word reset a massive shakeup in Kiev coming as Putin
- 3:19Speaker 3: is trying to court the MAGA GOP in the United States.
- 3:22Speaker 3: In fact, one of the leaders of the MAGA GOP
- 3:25Speaker 3: is in Moscow tonight. It's the man you see here
- 3:29Speaker 3: with the MAGA leader, Donald Trump. Tacker Carlson possibly there
- 3:33Speaker 3: in Moscow to interview Putin. Definitely there as a Putin
- 3:36Speaker 3: supporting celebrity.
- 3:38Speaker 1: Definitely there as a Putin supporting celebrity. Now they didn't
- 3:44Speaker 1: even know if he was actually there to interview Vladimir Putin.
- 3:48Speaker 1: He went to Russia and they couldn't wait to attack
- 3:50Speaker 1: him because they're angry they're not getting the same interview.
- 3:54Speaker 1: All right, I want to tell you real quick about
- 3:56Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been a
- 3:59Speaker 1: mayor because only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I
- 4:04Speaker 1: say only trust me, they're literally the only one. Patriot
- 4:07Speaker 1: Mobile offers dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability to
- 4:11Speaker 1: access all three major networks.
- 4:13Speaker 2: What does that mean to you? It means you get
- 4:14Speaker 2: the same.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Coverage that you're accustomed to, but you're doing it without
- 4:19Speaker 1: funding the left. You may not know the Big Mobile
- 4:22Speaker 1: gives massive donations to Planned Parenthood, to Democratic candidates, causes
- 4:29Speaker 1: and organizations. Why give your money to a group of
- 4:33Speaker 1: people that literally hate your values, hate what you stand for,
- 4:36Speaker 1: hate your family, traditional Christian values. That is why I
- 4:42Speaker 1: switch to Patriot Mobile. And when you switch, you're sending
- 4:44Speaker 1: a message that you support free speech, religious freedom, the
- 4:48Speaker 1: sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, as well as our military,
- 4:51Speaker 1: our veterans, and our first responder heroes. They make switching
- 4:55Speaker 1: easy one hundred percent US based customer service team. Plus,
- 4:59Speaker 1: you can keep your same self phone number, upgrade your
- 5:01Speaker 1: phone to a new phone, or keep the one you've
- 5:03Speaker 1: got in your hand as well. And the most important part,
- 5:07Speaker 1: every time you pay your bill. They take a percentage
- 5:10Speaker 1: of your bill every month and give it back to
- 5:13Speaker 1: conservative causes that you help choose to support.

- 5:31Speaker 1: dot com slash Ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot. Now,
- 5:36Speaker 1: before we move forward with CNN, maybe they could have
- 5:40Speaker 1: waited until Tucker Carlson talked about the actual interview. Maybe
- 5:44Speaker 1: they should have waited until Tucker Carlson put out a
- 5:47Speaker 1: video entitled why I'm interviewing Vladimir Putin. No, because CNN
- 5:52Speaker 1: couldn't wait to dunk on Tucker Carlson and say that
- 5:55Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson is a fanboy and a supporter of one
- 5:59Speaker 1: of the most brutal dictators in modern political history, Vladimir Putin,
- 6:04Speaker 1: and so they attacked him, right because this is what
- 6:06Speaker 1: you do. Now, I want you to hear what Tucker
- 6:09Speaker 1: actually said about the reasoning behind why he is interviewing
- 6:13Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. But before I play that for you, listen
- 6:18Speaker 1: to CNN get even more crazy than they were saying.
- 6:22Speaker 1: He's a number one fan of Putin, Tucker Carlson in
- 6:25Speaker 1: the MAGA leadership.
- 6:27Speaker 3: Just listen to how Russian state media is breathlessly celebrating
- 6:30Speaker 3: his visits.
- 6:33Speaker 4: Some independent journalist, Tucker Carlson has flown to Russia from
- 6:37Speaker 4: the US the Turkey to airport. He's a Spartacus ballet
- 6:43Speaker 4: at the Bolshley Theater, had lunch in a nice restaurant,
- 6:47Speaker 4: went for a ride around town, rode the subway.
- 6:50Speaker 2: This that he deals smartphone before he.
- 6:53Speaker 4: Charged his smartphone via USB port and connected to a
- 6:57Speaker 4: fast and free Wi Fi internet is.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Let's see, now, does that sound like they're fan boying
- 7:04Speaker 1: over Tucker Carlson or does it sound like a KEYGB
- 7:07Speaker 1: report of the activities of an American who's in Russia. Basically,
- 7:11Speaker 1: that could have been a legit. Hey, I want an update.
- 7:14Speaker 1: What is this American journalist doing in Russia?
- 7:18Speaker 2: That could have been the report?
- 7:19Speaker 1: He drove around town, he went to this event, he
- 7:22Speaker 1: charged his cell phone with the USB port. That could
- 7:25Speaker 1: have been a direct report from the KG beat it
- 7:27Speaker 1: light to repoot himself.
- 7:28Speaker 2: But how do you spend it?
- 7:29Speaker 1: If you're CNN, you say they're fan boying over the
- 7:34Speaker 1: American he charged his phone.
- 7:37Speaker 3: Although they're knowing the details about the fact that it
- 7:39Speaker 3: was during USB port may give him reason to think
- 7:41Speaker 3: twice about all of this. But look at them talking
- 7:44Speaker 3: about him like a celebrity. Everything he does on camera
- 7:47Speaker 3: breathlessly repeated.
- 7:48Speaker 1: Now, by the way, I don't think this is how
- 7:51Speaker 1: you talk about a celebrity. I think this is how
- 7:55Speaker 1: you would report on the activities of someone that you're
- 7:57Speaker 1: watching with an eagle eye, just like the KGB. He
- 8:00Speaker 1: does when American journalists or journalists from any other European
- 8:03Speaker 1: country are in Russia, and this is the way that
- 8:07Speaker 1: they would report on your activities if they were documenting
- 8:10Speaker 1: your day.
- 8:12Speaker 2: This is what the KGB would do to you.
- 8:14Speaker 1: But CNN says, Russia state media gives Tucker Carlson the
- 8:20Speaker 1: celebrity treatment all because they reported that he had lunch,
- 8:25Speaker 1: he rode the subway, he charged his smartphone, same thing
- 8:28Speaker 1: you would do if you were talking or spying on
- 8:31Speaker 1: someone for an afternoon. But no, no, no, this is CNN,
- 8:33Speaker 1: the most trusted name of news.
- 8:35Speaker 3: So they continue, Oh, it is unclear if an interview
- 8:37Speaker 3: between Putin and Carlson will take place, but if it does,
- 8:41Speaker 3: it gives Putin a chance to sit down with a.
- 8:43Speaker 2: Big supporter, A big supporter.
- 8:46Speaker 1: A big supporter is Tucker Carlson, all of a sudden,
- 8:50Speaker 1: a big supporter who's running out there telling you vitamin
- 8:52Speaker 1: Putin's the greatest guy in the world. Of course, not so,
- 8:56Speaker 1: what did Tucker Carlson actually say about doing this interview.
- 8:59Speaker 1: Why is he interviewing Vladimir Putin? Well is a question
- 9:02Speaker 1: he was more than happy to answer. He penned it
- 9:06Speaker 1: to the top of his ex account formerly known as Twitter,
- 9:10Speaker 1: and it actually said, why I'm interviewing Vladimir Putin. I
- 9:14Speaker 1: just imagine if CNN would have, I don't know, waited
- 9:16Speaker 1: for this to come out or even asked for official.
- 9:19Speaker 2: Comment from Tucker Carlson.
- 9:21Speaker 1: They couldn't wait, though, because they wanted to brand him
- 9:23Speaker 1: as the number one.
- 9:24Speaker 2: Supporter of Putin.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Because he's sitting down doing an interview that CNN has
- 9:29Speaker 1: done the past with dictators and tyrants around the world.
- 9:32Speaker 1: That's what journalists do. Here's what Tucker Carlson said about
- 9:35Speaker 1: the reason why he's actually doing this. We're in Moscow tonight.
- 9:40Speaker 5: We're here to interview the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin.
- 9:43Speaker 2: We'll be doing that soon.
- 9:45Speaker 5: There are risks to conducting an interview like this, obviously,
- 9:49Speaker 5: so we thought about it carefully over many months. Here's
- 9:52Speaker 5: why we're doing it. First, because it's our job. We're
- 9:55Speaker 5: in journalism. Our duty is to inform people into a
- 10:00Speaker 5: war that's reshaping the entire world. Most Americans are not informed.
- 10:05Speaker 5: They have no real idea what's happening in this region
- 10:08Speaker 5: here in Russia or six hundred miles away in Ukraine,
- 10:12Speaker 5: but they should know they're paying for much of it
- 10:15Speaker 5: in ways they might not fully yet perceive. The war
- 10:18Speaker 5: in Ukraine is a human disaster. It's left hundreds of
- 10:21Speaker 5: thousands of people dead, an entire generation of young Ukrainians,
- 10:26Speaker 5: and it's depopulated the largest country in Europe. But the
- 10:30Speaker 5: long term effects are even more profound. This war has
- 10:34Speaker 5: utterly reshaped the global military and trade alliances, and the
- 10:38Speaker 5: sanctions that followed have as well, and in total, they
- 10:41Speaker 5: have upended the world economy. The post World War II
- 10:45Speaker 5: economic order, the system that guaranteed prosperity in the West
- 10:49Speaker 5: for more than eighty years, is coming apart very fast,
- 10:52Speaker 5: and along with it the dominance of the US dollar.
- 10:55Speaker 2: These are not small changes.
- 10:57Speaker 5: They are history altering developments define the lives of our grandchildren.
- 11:02Speaker 5: Most of the world understands this perfectly well.
- 11:04Speaker 2: They can see it.
- 11:05Speaker 5: Ask anyone in Asia or the Middle East what the
- 11:08Speaker 5: future looks like. And yet the populations of the English
- 11:11Speaker 5: speaking country seem mostly unaware. They think that as nothing
- 11:15Speaker 5: has really changed and they think that because no one
- 11:18Speaker 5: has told them the truth, their media outlets are corrupt.
- 11:22Speaker 5: They lie to their readers and viewers, and they do
- 11:25Speaker 5: that mostly by omission. For example, since the day the
- 11:29Speaker 5: war in Ukraine began, American media outlets have spoken to
- 11:32Speaker 5: scores of people from Ukraine, and they have done scores
- 11:36Speaker 5: of interviews with Ukrainian presidents Zelenski. We ourselves have put
- 11:40Speaker 5: in a request for an interview with Elensky, and we
- 11:42Speaker 5: hope he accepts. But the interviews he's already done in
- 11:45Speaker 5: the United States are not traditional interviews. They are fawning
- 11:48Speaker 5: pep sessions, specifically designed to amplify Zelensky's demand that the
- 11:53Speaker 5: US enter more deeply into a war in Eastern Europe
- 11:56Speaker 5: and pay for it.
- 11:57Speaker 2: That is not journalism.
- 11:59Speaker 5: It is government propaganda, propaganda of the ugliest kind, the
- 12:03Speaker 5: kind that kills people. At the same time, our politicians
- 12:06Speaker 5: and media oolts have been doing this, promoting a foreign
- 12:10Speaker 5: leader like he's a new consumer brand. Not a single
- 12:13Speaker 5: Western journalist has bothered to interview the president of the
- 12:15Speaker 5: other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin.
- 12:19Speaker 2: Just think about that for a second.
- 12:21Speaker 1: Not a single Western journalist has interviewed Vladimir put In
- 12:24Speaker 1: the last two years.
- 12:26Speaker 2: One of the most interesting.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Things about all of this narrative around Tucker and Russia
- 12:32Speaker 1: and everything else is the fact that the other journalists
- 12:36Speaker 1: are jealous a that he got the interview, I think,
- 12:39Speaker 1: and number two, I think they believe that you shouldn't
- 12:43Speaker 1: give Vladimir Putin the time of day. Let's also think
- 12:46Speaker 1: about what Donald Trump did when he was president and
- 12:49Speaker 1: compare it for a moment. Do we have wars going
- 12:52Speaker 1: on when he was the president? No? Did he talk
- 12:54Speaker 1: to virtually everybody, including Vladimir Putin?
- 12:56Speaker 2: Yes?
- 12:56Speaker 1: Did he talk to Kim Jong Ung for example? Yes,
- 13:00Speaker 1: he talked to anyone and everyone in the world because
- 13:03Speaker 1: he understood that that would be better if there was peace,
- 13:06Speaker 1: specifically through strength through conversations instead of through wars. It's
- 13:11Speaker 1: an interesting foreign policy if you think about it, and
- 13:13Speaker 1: it worked out pretty damn well for four years. Now,
- 13:16Speaker 1: look at where we are because of the war hawks
- 13:19Speaker 1: and Joe Biden in his incompetency. We have wars in
- 13:23Speaker 1: the Middle East, we have a war between Russia and Ukraine,
- 13:27Speaker 1: and on the verge, as CNN would put it, of
- 13:30Speaker 1: a World War III. We also have terrorist groups that
- 13:33Speaker 1: are exploding in a wide open border, and we have
- 13:36Speaker 1: problems with China and Taiwan, as well as a North
- 13:39Speaker 1: Korea that is not talking to anyone anymore and just
- 13:42Speaker 1: building bigger weapons. And the point that Tucker Carlson was
- 13:46Speaker 1: making is no one in Western journalism has bothered to
- 13:50Speaker 1: sit down and talk to the other side, referring to
- 13:52Speaker 1: whatever reputin.
- 13:53Speaker 2: And part of that's true.
- 13:54Speaker 1: And the reason why is, I actually think very simple,
- 13:58Speaker 1: it's because they only want you to side with Zelenski.
- 14:03Speaker 1: Let's also be clear. You want to see corruption, go
- 14:06Speaker 1: look at Ukraine. You want to see how much your
- 14:09Speaker 1: money is disappearing into the corrupt hands of those in
- 14:13Speaker 1: Ukraine who are leaving the money and the country is
- 14:16Speaker 1: taking that money and sending it outside the country and
- 14:18Speaker 1: going to warsaw.
- 14:19Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
- 14:20Speaker 1: Look at the amount of money that we're giving to
- 14:22Speaker 1: the war effort that's actually going back in the hands
- 14:24Speaker 1: of Americans and contractors and lobbyists who used to work
- 14:27Speaker 1: in Congress.
- 14:28Speaker 2: Wars make people rich, folks.
- 14:30Speaker 1: They make people rich in America, they make people rich
- 14:32Speaker 1: in the Ukraine, they.
- 14:33Speaker 2: Make people rich all over the world.
- 14:35Speaker 1: When wars happen because money is spent at alarming rates
- 14:39Speaker 1: without any oversight. So why wouldn't you talk to a
- 14:42Speaker 1: guy like Vladimir Putin. I'm not saying he's a good guy.
- 14:46Speaker 1: In fact, I think he's one of the worst people
- 14:47Speaker 1: in the world. But if you're trying to figure out
- 14:49Speaker 1: how to stop this conflict from actually going to a
- 14:52Speaker 1: bad place, maybe you should ask questions. That's what quote
- 14:55Speaker 1: journalists do, which is exactly what Tucker Carlson was saying.
- 14:59Speaker 1: Keep listening, it gets even better.
- 15:02Speaker 5: Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine or
- 15:05Speaker 5: what his goals are. Now you've never heard his voice.
- 15:08Speaker 5: That's wrong. Americans have a right to know all they
- 15:12Speaker 5: can about a war they're implicated in, and we have
- 15:14Speaker 5: the right to tell them about it because we are
- 15:16Speaker 5: Americans too. Freedom to speech is our birthright. We were
- 15:20Speaker 5: born with the right to say what we believe. That
- 15:23Speaker 5: right cannot be taken away no matter who is.
- 15:25Speaker 2: In the White House. But they're trying anyway.
- 15:29Speaker 5: Almost three years ago, the Biden administration illegally spied on
- 15:32Speaker 5: our text messages and then leaked the contents to their
- 15:35Speaker 5: servants in the news media.
- 15:36Speaker 2: They did this in order to stop a Putin interview
- 15:38Speaker 2: that we were.
- 15:39Speaker 5: Planning last month, where pretty certain they did exactly the
- 15:42Speaker 5: same thing once again, but this time we came to
- 15:45Speaker 5: Moscow anyway. We are not here because we love Vladimir Putin.
- 15:50Speaker 5: We are here because we love the United States. We
- 15:53Speaker 5: wanted to remain prosperous and free. We paid for the
- 15:57Speaker 5: trip ourselves. We took no money from any government or group.
- 16:00Speaker 5: Nor are we charging people to see the interview. It
- 16:02Speaker 5: is not behind a paywall. Anyone can watch the entire thing,
- 16:06Speaker 5: shot live to tape and unedited on our website, Tuckercarlson
- 16:10Speaker 5: dot com. Elon Musk, his great credit, has promised not
- 16:14Speaker 5: to suppress or block this interview once we post it
- 16:17Speaker 5: on his platform X, and we're grateful for that. Western governments,
- 16:21Speaker 5: by contrast, will certainly do their best to censor this
- 16:24Speaker 5: video on other less principal platforms, because that's what they do.
- 16:28Speaker 5: They are afraid of information they can't control. But you
- 16:32Speaker 5: have no reason to be afraid of it. We are
- 16:35Speaker 5: not encouraging you to agree with what Putin may say
- 16:37Speaker 5: in this interview, but we are urging you.
- 16:40Speaker 2: To watch it.
- 16:41Speaker 5: You should know as much as you can, and then
- 16:44Speaker 5: like a free citizen and not a slave, you can
- 16:46Speaker 5: decide for yourself.
- 16:48Speaker 1: Now, this is a very big risk by Tucker Carlson,
- 16:52Speaker 1: I think to be there in doing this. I also
- 16:54Speaker 1: think it's interesting that apparently they've been stalking and spying
- 16:58Speaker 1: on Tucker Carlson, spying on Tucker Carlson as he's getting
- 17:03Speaker 1: ready for this trip, the same thing that they did
- 17:05Speaker 1: several years ago and shut down this possibility of doing
- 17:11Speaker 1: this interview. Let me also remind you of the other
- 17:15Speaker 1: thing that has happened in this country. We have people
- 17:19Speaker 1: that are warhawks. We have people that always love going
- 17:22Speaker 1: to war. They have supporters and people around them that
- 17:25Speaker 1: make incredible amounts of money when we go to a war.
- 17:28Speaker 1: Let's just go back a week and a half ago.
- 17:31Speaker 1: American troops were killed by proxies of Iran, and what
- 17:35Speaker 1: were many conservatives saying, Lindsey Graham hit I ran, Now
- 17:39Speaker 1: hit them hard, right, start another war, war war three
- 17:41Speaker 1: with Iran. Senator John Cornyn target Tehran. This is what
- 17:47Speaker 1: these people do. They only know how to go to war,
- 17:51Speaker 1: to fight wars, instead of asking questions before we go
- 17:55Speaker 1: of what will happen if we actually get ourselves.
- 17:57Speaker 2: Into one of these wars.
- 18:00Speaker 1: Let me also say this, I'm very very very very
- 18:03Speaker 1: very much in favor of making sure that we protect
- 18:09Speaker 1: American troops. I'm in favor of responding in a heavy way.
- 18:13Speaker 1: Does that mean that you go to war with a
- 18:15Speaker 1: capital of Tehran directly and just start bombing the hell
- 18:17Speaker 1: out of it. I think we're smarter than that. We've
- 18:20Speaker 1: learned from what we did in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do
- 18:23Speaker 1: we really want to open up that can of worms
- 18:25Speaker 1: right now? I also think that you don't telegraph what
- 18:29Speaker 1: you're going to do to the terrorists, which is exactly
- 18:32Speaker 1: what the Biden administration did.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Hey, we're going to hit you in a few days.
- 18:36Speaker 1: You might want to clean out everything you want and
- 18:38Speaker 1: go into hiding and move around so you don't have
- 18:40Speaker 1: to worry about dying at the hands of us when
- 18:43Speaker 1: we do retaliate.
- 18:45Speaker 2: That was incredibly stupid.
- 18:47Speaker 1: But now we are living in a world where if
- 18:50Speaker 1: you go and interview somebody, CNN then comes out and
- 18:53Speaker 1: says you're an agent of Vladimir Putin. You're an agent,
- 18:58Speaker 1: and you're in love with Vladimir Putin. You're the number
- 19:01Speaker 1: one fan of Vladimir Putin. That is what CNN said.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Standing in Ukraine forty eight hours before the war begin there. Well,
- 19:09Speaker 3: Carlson then stood by Putin consistently all the way through,
- 19:12Speaker 3: and that is why he can go to Moscow now
- 19:15Speaker 3: without any fear of being summarily imprisoned.
- 19:18Speaker 2: He's a hero.
- 19:19Speaker 3: This was Putin's mouthpiece in the United States, somebody who
- 19:22Speaker 3: had turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed by
- 19:25Speaker 3: Putin because they were happening far away. Once vibrant towns
- 19:28Speaker 3: turn to ruins, mass graves with dozens of bodies in
- 19:31Speaker 3: the Kiev suburbs, a theater full of it is and
- 19:33Speaker 3: women and children sheltering bombed despite the giant world Children
- 19:38Speaker 3: written on the roof. More than two hundred thousand Ukrainian
- 19:41Speaker 3: soldiers killed or injured, and tonight Putin is trying to
- 19:45Speaker 3: seize on the fact that Zelenski's military appears to be
- 19:47Speaker 3: in turmoil, capitalizing on a moment of intense American political
- 19:52Speaker 3: dysfunction and intensifying strikes. Fred Plaken is outfront. He is
- 19:57Speaker 3: live in Odessa in Ukraine tonight, And Fred, what more
- 19:59Speaker 3: are you learning about this possible major Let me just.
- 20:04Speaker 1: Say one other thing. I wanted to play the very
- 20:06Speaker 1: end of that to you. CNN's mad they didn't get
- 20:09Speaker 1: this interview. CNN is mad that this is happening now.
- 20:13Speaker 1: There's a big story that's also happening right now, and
- 20:15Speaker 1: that's the fact that there's a possibility that Zelensky and
- 20:17Speaker 1: others could be out in Ukraine. They reported on that
- 20:21Speaker 1: second because they were so mad that Tucker Carlson was
- 20:23Speaker 1: doing this reporting first. They were so mad at Tucker
- 20:28Speaker 1: Carlson going and getting this interview that they decided to
- 20:33Speaker 1: stop telling you the story of what was happening in
- 20:36Speaker 1: Ukraine and the real possibility that Zelensky and others around
- 20:40Speaker 1: him may be out as there is turmoil within the
- 20:43Speaker 1: military right now after two years into this war and
- 20:47Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands that have died. By the way, that
- 20:49Speaker 1: goes exactly back to what Tucker Carlson said a moment ago.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson said, Hey, you should be able to ask questions.
- 20:56Speaker 1: An entire generation of young people have died in Ukraine,
- 21:01Speaker 1: of young men fighting this war. So when you listen
- 21:05Speaker 1: to what Tucker says in this interview, just listen to it.
- 21:09Speaker 1: In fact, I'll probably be giving two middle fingers of
- 21:12Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin the entire time.
- 21:14Speaker 2: And if there's any moment in there.
- 21:15Speaker 1: Where it looks like that Tucker Carlson's being a mouthpiece
- 21:18Speaker 1: to four of Vladimir Putin, I will probably be.
- 21:21Speaker 2: Giving him the middle finger too.
- 21:23Speaker 1: But let's listen to what is said in the interview
- 21:27Speaker 1: before we start trashing someone for doing the interview.
- 21:32Speaker 2: I want to get you an.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Update on another important story, and it deals with the
- 21:35Speaker 1: border security issue. The White House is now freaking out.
- 21:39Speaker 1: Joe Biden is now blaming Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans
- 21:42Speaker 1: for the broken border system. President Joe Biden blaming Donald
- 21:47Speaker 1: Trump and the mag Republicans for the system and his
- 21:50Speaker 1: administration's expected failure to convince Congress to pass a one
- 21:54Speaker 1: hundred and eighteen billion dollar bill. There would have got
- 21:57Speaker 1: only twenty billion for border security but sixty billion dollars
- 22:01Speaker 1: for Ukraine, two subjects that have nothing to do with
- 22:04Speaker 1: one another and should never be in the same bill.
- 22:06Speaker 1: This is also happy at the time of the White
- 22:08Speaker 1: House is now saying that Biden quote isn't considering any
- 22:13Speaker 1: executive action to secure the border, even though he had
- 22:18Speaker 1: ninety four executive actions that he took in his first
- 22:21Speaker 1: hundred days to delete border security, creating the crisis that
- 22:25Speaker 1: we're in the right now, where the White House president,
- 22:28Speaker 1: they have to say, Jean Pierre, listen to this.
- 22:31Speaker 6: The President said last month that there was a crisis
- 22:34Speaker 6: at the border. I know the White House is calling
- 22:37Speaker 6: on members of Congress to I think in your worship
- 22:40Speaker 6: of policy about politics. In the absence of that, though,
- 22:47Speaker 6: is the president of evaluating any executive actions that he
- 22:50Speaker 6: could take on his own to address that crisis. Is
- 22:54Speaker 6: he looking at perhaps of many other things like you
- 22:56Speaker 6: maybe user the state of emergency or new new policies.
- 23:00Speaker 7: Do we have a biperson agreement that the Senate put forth,
- 23:05Speaker 7: Republicans and Democrats came together. There's actually a piece of
- 23:09Speaker 7: legislation text came out on Sunday. Folks have been working
- 23:13Speaker 7: on that for two months and it is the toughest
- 23:16Speaker 7: and the fairest piece of legislation that we've seen in decades.
- 23:18Speaker 7: There is something out there right there in Congress for
- 23:22Speaker 7: them to answer those questions that you just asked me.
- 23:25Speaker 2: So, no, we're not considering it.
- 23:27Speaker 1: The President's not considering any executive actions, even though he
- 23:29Speaker 1: took ninety four executive actions in its first hundred days
- 23:32Speaker 1: in office to make sure that the open that the
- 23:35Speaker 1: border that was secure.
- 23:36Speaker 2: At the time that he inherited from Donald J.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Trump was completely butchered and opened wide up to terrorists
- 23:43Speaker 1: on the terrorists watch lists that come across to the
- 23:45Speaker 1: fetanol that is now the number one killer in this
- 23:47Speaker 1: country under the age of forty nine and under under
- 23:50Speaker 1: the age of fifty the number one killer eighteen to
- 23:53Speaker 1: forty nine. This country's fetanyl. That wasn't the case when
- 23:56Speaker 1: Donald Trump was the president either. Now let me go
- 23:59Speaker 1: back to.
- 23:59Speaker 2: Something else happened today that just made me laugh.
- 24:02Speaker 1: Joe Biden came out and he rarely does this, pushing Congress,
- 24:06Speaker 1: demanding Congress past an open border bill, and this is
- 24:11Speaker 1: what he had to say, with a whole lot of
- 24:13Speaker 1: enthusiasm and no slurring of words at all.
- 24:17Speaker 8: Immrogration system hasn't been broken, and it's long pastime to
- 24:21Speaker 8: fix it. That's why months ago I instruck to my
- 24:23Speaker 8: team to begin negotiations with the bipartisan group of senators
- 24:27Speaker 8: to seriously and finally fix our immigration system. For months now,
- 24:32Speaker 8: that's what they've done, working round the clock through the holidays,
- 24:36Speaker 8: over the weekends. It's been an extraordinary effort by Senators Langford,
- 24:40Speaker 8: Murphy and Cinema.
- 24:42Speaker 2: The result of all this hard work is a.
- 24:44Speaker 8: Bipartisan agreement that represents the most fair, humane reforms and
- 24:49Speaker 8: our immigration system in a long time, and the toughest
- 24:53Speaker 8: set of reforms to secure the border ever. Now, all
- 24:57Speaker 8: indications are this bill won't even move forward to the
- 25:00Speaker 8: center floor. Why a simple reason, Donald Trump. Because Donald
- 25:07Speaker 8: Trump thinks it's bad for him politically. Therefore he doesn't
- 25:10Speaker 8: even know it helps the country. He's not for it. He'd
- 25:14Speaker 8: rather weaponize this issue than actually solve it. So for
- 25:18Speaker 8: the last twenty four hours, he's done nothing, I'm told,
- 25:21Speaker 8: but reach out to Republicans in the House and the
- 25:23Speaker 8: Senate and threaten them and try to intimidate them to
- 25:27Speaker 8: vote against this proposal, and looks like they're caving. Frankly,
- 25:32Speaker 8: they owe it to the American people to show some
- 25:34Speaker 8: spine and do what they know to be right. So
- 25:38Speaker 8: I want to tell the American people what's in this bill.
- 25:41Speaker 1: By the way, I just have to stop there, you
- 25:42Speaker 1: spineless people that are actually trying to secure the border
- 25:45Speaker 1: instead of only putting it and again, let's talk about
- 25:48Speaker 1: what's in this bill.
- 25:49Speaker 2: Let's do that, mister President.
- 25:52Speaker 1: There's funding for the Ukraine war effort, and at three
- 25:55Speaker 1: x above what you're giving for border security. So I'm
- 25:58Speaker 1: going to ask this question very nicely, why the hell
- 26:00Speaker 1: would we want this bill. There's money in there for
- 26:03Speaker 1: the war there, there's money in there for the war
- 26:06Speaker 1: in Israel, which has nothing to do with secure in
- 26:09Speaker 1: the border. And there's also amnesty in this bill and
- 26:12Speaker 1: the ability for illegal immigrants that then start voting in
- 26:16Speaker 1: twenty thirty, just six years from now. This border bill
- 26:20Speaker 1: is nothing more than a trojan horse for communists to
- 26:24Speaker 1: take over this country. In fact, it codifies open borders.
- 26:28Speaker 1: It's in the bill. It sends a sixty billion to
- 26:31Speaker 1: Ukraine that has anything to do with our border. It
- 26:33Speaker 1: gives taxpayer funded lawyers to a legal immigrants so they
- 26:36Speaker 1: can become American citizens and attack America with our own
- 26:40Speaker 1: tax dollars as we fund the lawyers of those that
- 26:42Speaker 1: break in this country illegally. That's stupid.
- 26:46Speaker 2: It also says.
- 26:47Speaker 1: We're going to spend one point four billion dollars in
- 26:50Speaker 1: this bill to resettle illegals in the US. That would
- 26:54Speaker 1: include travel and accommodations, so we're going to pay for
- 26:57Speaker 1: you to break our laws. It also gives a legals
- 27:00Speaker 1: work visus, which undercut the American worker and make our
- 27:03Speaker 1: unemployment rate go up and wages also go down. So
- 27:08Speaker 1: we have an invasion at the southern border now, and
- 27:10Speaker 1: the only thing this bill would do is basically legalize
- 27:13Speaker 1: it and then allow them to vote in twenty thirty.
- 27:19Speaker 2: You want to know what's in the bill.
- 27:21Speaker 1: That is exactly what's in the bill. This is what's
- 27:25Speaker 1: happening right now in this bill, and this is the
- 27:28Speaker 1: reason why there are at least some Republicans in the
- 27:32Speaker 1: Senate that got their heads out of their ables's and
- 27:35Speaker 1: decided to stand up to this type of ridiculous propaganda.
- 27:41Speaker 1: The border bill should be a bill that just is
- 27:43Speaker 1: about the border.
- 27:45Speaker 2: That's it. Okay, that's all it should be about. It
- 27:49Speaker 2: should only be about that.
- 27:52Speaker 1: The Foreign Aid bill, he says, will help migrants owner
- 27:55Speaker 1: the US legally ninety percent faster.
- 27:57Speaker 2: I don't even know what that means.
- 27:58Speaker 1: But the President also saying that today in this press conference.
- 28:02Speaker 1: Listen carefully to how he describes them coming into America
- 28:06Speaker 1: at a faster pace. And I'm supposed to be in
- 28:08Speaker 1: favor of this bill for that reason.
- 28:10Speaker 8: Apparently, this bill would also establish new, efficient and fair
- 28:13Speaker 8: process for the government to consider an asylum claim for
- 28:17Speaker 8: those arriving at the border. Today, the process can take
- 28:22Speaker 8: five to seven years.
- 28:23Speaker 2: As you all know, they show up at the border
- 28:25Speaker 2: and get a bracelet toll.
- 28:26Speaker 8: We come back when called five to seven years in country.
- 28:31Speaker 8: That's too long and it's not rational. With the new
- 28:34Speaker 8: policies in this bill and the additional four thousand, three
- 28:39Speaker 8: hundred more asylum officers who spend hours, I might add
- 28:43Speaker 8: with each immigrant to consider their claims whether they qualify,
- 28:47Speaker 8: we'll be able to reduce that process to six months,
- 28:50Speaker 8: not five to seven years.
- 28:54Speaker 1: So translation, we're going to start handing out amnesty like
- 28:56Speaker 1: you've never seen before. The Foreign eight Bill would help migrants,
- 29:00Speaker 1: illegal immigrants, that's what they really should be called, illegals
- 29:03Speaker 1: entering the US legally. They can now claim somehow ninety
- 29:07Speaker 1: percent faster even though they're breaking our laws coming into
- 29:10Speaker 1: the country. And that is exactly what the President is
- 29:12Speaker 1: now saying we must do. The President of the United
- 29:15Speaker 1: States of America also making it clear today as well,
- 29:19Speaker 1: he says, look, I want to see some movement here. Well,
- 29:24Speaker 1: in fact, that's not really what he said. I think
- 29:26Speaker 1: that's what he was trying to say. But here's the
- 29:28Speaker 1: president totally cognitively on par with what you should be
- 29:32Speaker 1: when you're the free the leader of the free world,
- 29:35Speaker 1: making complete sense.
- 29:36Speaker 8: There is some movement, and I don't want to. I
- 29:40Speaker 8: don't want to. I mean, choose my words. There's some movement.
- 29:47Speaker 8: There's been a response from the there's been a response
- 29:59Speaker 8: from the opposition. But yes, I'm sorry from AMAS, but
- 30:07Speaker 8: it seems to be a little over the top. We're
- 30:11Speaker 8: not sure where it is. There's this continuing negotiation right now.
- 30:15Speaker 1: Wow, thank you for clearing that out, mister president. Were
- 30:19Speaker 1: we talking about the border and then we switched to
- 30:21Speaker 1: AMAS and we got confused on where we were there.
- 30:25Speaker 2: There's some movement and I.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Don't wanna, I don't wanna. Let me, let me, let
- 30:28Speaker 1: me choose my words. There's there's some movement. Okay, thank you,
- 30:31Speaker 1: mister president. The rest of the world gets to see
- 30:33Speaker 1: this as it's being streamed live all over the universe.
- 30:37Speaker 1: And if you're any one of the world leaders that
- 30:39Speaker 1: hates America, wants to destroy America, just know that they
- 30:43Speaker 1: heard what you and I just heard a completely incompetent
- 30:48Speaker 1: president of the United States of America who couldn't put
- 30:52Speaker 1: two words together, a completely incompetent president of Unite Sticks
- 30:57Speaker 1: of America that doesn't know what's.
- 30:59Speaker 2: Actually going on.
- 31:00Speaker 1: In fact, he doesn't even know what subject he's talking
- 31:02Speaker 1: about while he's talking. That is what you just heard,
- 31:07Speaker 1: and it very clearly was the White House staff that
- 31:12Speaker 1: was having to coach him along from the corner there.
- 31:16Speaker 1: This bill not making its way to the Senate for
- 31:18Speaker 1: is a blessing. It is a good thing, but at
- 31:21Speaker 1: the same time, we still have an open border. What
- 31:24Speaker 1: I think is going to end up happening moving forward
- 31:26Speaker 1: is something pretty simple. Either we win the White House
- 31:29Speaker 1: and we win the Senate and we win the House
- 31:31Speaker 1: and we save this country, or we don't.
- 31:33Speaker 2: That's what this election is actually going to be about. Period.
- 31:38Speaker 2: I'm going to keep you updated on this story.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast please with your family
- 31:43Speaker 1: and friends on social media, let them know about it,
- 31:46Speaker 1: and please write us a five story review. It helps
- 31:48Speaker 1: us reach new people. And I'll see it back here tomorrow.
