• 0:10
  Speaker 1: their space command, they've lost their ability to find twelve

  Speaker 1: digit grids, so naturally they're still firing drones and missiles.

  Speaker 3: rid of democracy. How did we get to this point

  Speaker 3: and how much are Democrats spending to convince Americans that

  Speaker 3: moment for our country as the opposition grows more aggressive

  Speaker 3: two Patriot promo code ben forty seven. It's the forty
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: seven Morning update and it starts right now story number one.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: There's a new Fox News survey that finds it thirty
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: eight percent of voters say it would be good thing.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: It would be a good thing for the US to
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: move away from capitalism and towards socialism. That's an all
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: time high. Sixty one percent view socialism negatively. Did you
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: hear me? Thirty eight percent of voters say they would
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: be a good thing for the US to move away
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: from capitalism and towards socialism. How do we overcome that?
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: How do you think we got that? I mean, excuse
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: me not thirty seven? Thirty eight percent of voters say
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: it would be a good thing for the US to
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: move away from capitalism and towards socialism. Sixty one percent
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: view socialism negative. But you still have a large number.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: And by the way, the shift they say maybe tied.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Maybe divided views on capitalism itself, as voters are split
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: over whether capitalism in the United States is working well,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: say it's working very or somewhat well, but nearly as
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: many this will be your laughter dems. Forty nine percent
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: say it's working, not vary or not at all well.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: That that can explain to you. The rise of Mundani,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: for example, right in AOCS like they have, they have
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: gone under the core belief and the core point and
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: the attack that and the session that America is somehow
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: evil in its existence, and that capitalism is the drug
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: that is evil in America, and that if we were
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: all just somehow the same. Because part of this is
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: the Left knows that a lot of their voters are
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: poor and they want to convince them that the system's
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: working against them right, not for them, And so they're like, hey,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: help us take from the rich. This is the Robin
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: man Like syndrome, as I call it, where you get
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of people that do great because they work
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: their a to blast is off, and you have a
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: lot of people that don't. And then they're like, well,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I want what they have, but they're not want to
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: do the work or study hard, to go to school
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: or whatever it may be. And so there's a jealousy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: And then you have politicians come around. They're like they're like, hey,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: there's enough of you guys are angry and jealous that
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I can convince you that you're not failing. But the
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: system is against you and rigged against you, and it's
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: not your fault you didn't go to college. It's not
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: your fault that you're a pothead. It's not your fault
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to your drug attic. It's not your fault that you're
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: just lazy. I mean, I look, I see this in life.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Now I'm forty four, justin and like, it's very interesting
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: now how many people in my forties that I used
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: to be friends with will will actually like come after
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: me on social media, like not call me, not text me,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: but will attack me because they are, I guess, frustrated
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: that I'm successful, and they're like, well, you don't understand
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: the working man, the hard man. I'm like, dude, I
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: work my tail off like while you were, while you
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: were trying to get one of them, I said. We
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: had one of those pretty bunk conversations one day and
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I said to him, I was like, he was like,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: you know, well you don't understand what it's like struggle.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I do. That's why I work so hard. And we
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: both came from the same place. We both didn't grow
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: up on third base or second base or on first base. Okay,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Like you and I both knew we need to pay
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: we were gonna have to pay for college. You and
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: I both knew that we were gonna have to get
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: there on a college scholarship if we were going to go.
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: And the difference between you and I is I was
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: out there busting my tail, working sixty hours a week
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: teaching tennis in the summer, while you were trying to
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: get your beer plate on the wall at Flying Saucer.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: And if you know what Flying Saucer is, it's a
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: beer house. They have like X number of brews on tap.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: It's insane, like over one hundred and if you drink
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: every beer and you can't, and it's like there's rules
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: on it, like so that you have to come back
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: every week so you don't just you know, get belligerently drunk.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: But you can get a plate with your name on
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the wall. And I'm like, dude, that was your biggest
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: accomplishment in your twenties, was like getting your beer plate
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: on the wall at Flying Saucer. There's a difference between
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: my work ethic and your work ethic, like a very
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: very big difference. And now you're mad and you become
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: a liberal because you somehow think that like the systems
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: against you and rigged. No, it's because you didn't work
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: hard you've got multiple mug shots for being an idiot,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: like not committing major crimes, like just being like just
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: doing stupid stuff a dui. And so that has hindered
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: you as well in your development, Like you made some
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: stupid decisions being arrogant with people you worked with, and
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: you got fired from jobs because of insubordination. That again,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: and some of that came back to the drinking issues.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Like this is there is a real interesting moment happening
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: here in this country whereas the left is saying to
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: people like that, hey, it's somehow the system that screwed you,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: and that's why you're making all these bad decisions. And
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: that's where the mundanis AOC's and all these liberal mayors
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: in different liberal cities like Memphis, in New Orleans and
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Detroit and Baltimore come in because they figured out that
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: there's enough lazy people that they can get to vote
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: from that they just give them free stuff. It's modern
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: day slavery, right, Like I'll feed you, but I'm not
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: going to help you get out of poverty. Because if
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: I help you get out of poverty, then you don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: need me anymore. One of the biggest reasons why the
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party tried to destroyed Donald Trump. Their impeachment in
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen is because
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: they understood the threat that Donald Trump was to the
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: minority voters. Why do you think the Democrats let so
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: many illegal immigrants into this country Because Donald Trump had
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: completely decimated the Democratic Party's control of the African American community,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: and you had African American unemployment rates the lowest in
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: history when Donald Trump was president in his first term. Yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the lowest unemployment rate for African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos.
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: And so what the Democratic Party realized was if this
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: keeps up and think good. As COVID came in for them,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: it saved them politically in many ways because COVID, you know, really,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: as you know, hurt the economy in a major way,
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: and that stopped alloted that Trump like MAGA movement, and
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: I think in many ways cost Trump as presidency his
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: first time because of what happened with COVID. It just
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: shut down the whole country, and they that was the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: gift to the Democratic Party. But the Democratic Party was
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: losing their base because what Donald Trump said was I
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: don't want you to live in poverty your whole life.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I don't want you to live on food stamps your
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: whole life. I want to empower you to pay for
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: your own stuff. But not because I'm like, don't want
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: to give you help. It's because I want you to
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: live a better life. I don't want you to live
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: in government housing. I don't want you to be like
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: in a hud house your whole life. I don't want
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: you to have to depend on handouts to survive. I
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: want you to be able to get your kids in
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: a good school, not a failing school. And one of
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: the ways that Democrats keep Americans down is by giving
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: their kids horrific educational quality. Horrific educational quality the level
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: of Democrat cities education quality level. It is failing virtually
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: nationwide in every school district in a major city where
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Democrats control it. And the question is why. I think
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: it's designed deliberately, because if kids are uneducated, then they
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: are going to end up depending on them the Democratic Party,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: for survival after they fail in school. If you empower
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: a kid to be smart and get a great education, okay,
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: if you if you have a child succeed and get
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: on their own. The chances that child, at some point
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: in life becomes a Republican are very high. And the
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party understands that if you empower, if these kids
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: grow up and we don't own them in poverty and
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: own them because of their failures, that we've created an
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: environment for them to fail with failing schools, then that
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: is self fulfilling prophecy, Like, Okay, they'll vote for us,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: and their kids will vote for us, and they'll never
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: get out of the ghetto, and they'll always need us
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: for their food and for their lights and their heat
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: and their hut housing and their government aid and their
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: government healthcare right like. That's one of the reasons why
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: Obamacare was so important to the Democratic Party, because it
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: was a way to I would say in chain Democratic
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: voters to them, you can't vote against me. You need
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: that healthcare, right like, you can't vote against me. You
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: need that and without me you're screwed, right Like, without me,
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: you're in deep trouble. Without me, you've got serious, serious,
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: serious problems. And so that's why they keep voting for them.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: That just what happens here.
