Trump Breaks Facebook as Conservatives get their voices BACK · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: So what are we going to be covering today. First up,
0:04
Speaker 1: it is a big story big tech censorship. Well, now,
0:08
Speaker 1: Facebook wants you to believe they're all for free speech
0:11
Speaker 1: and democracy. This is also there is a group of
0:14
Speaker 1: people that are trying to buy TikTok in this country
0:17
Speaker 1: before it is quote unquote shut down.
0:19
Speaker 2: We're going to have that for you in a moment.
0:22
Speaker 1: Also, then one of the most disturbing and disgusting moments
0:26
Speaker 1: of the day, former President Jimmy Carter to lie in
0:30
Speaker 1: state at the US Capital.
0:31
Speaker 2: And what is the media doing.
0:33
Speaker 1: The media is doing exactly what you would expect, using
0:37
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter's funeral to attack Donald Trump. We've got the
0:43
Speaker 1: audio and I'm going to play it for you. Now,
0:45
Speaker 1: let me set up for you the biggest subject, and
0:48
Speaker 1: that is Facebook coming out saying that they are going
0:52
Speaker 1: to get back to their roots of free speech and
0:56
Speaker 1: freedom of speech and democracy and letting the people speak
1:00
Speaker 1: because it's so important in America. I want to be
1:02
Speaker 1: very clear about this. I think that Mark Zuckerberg, who
1:06
Speaker 1: is the founder of Facebook, is just as evil as
1:10
Speaker 1: he was a week ago, a month ago, or a
1:13
Speaker 1: year ago. When it comes to coming after and silencing conservatives.
1:18
Speaker 1: This is not a move and I do not want
1:21
Speaker 1: you to be bamboozled. And you are going to see politicians,
1:24
Speaker 1: by the way, that are willing to praise him now
1:28
Speaker 1: for this move.
1:28
Speaker 2: And the reason why is because they're hoping that allow.
1:31
Speaker 1: Them more reach on social media Facebook and what they
1:36
Speaker 1: did and Instagram when they bought it. What they did,
1:40
Speaker 1: so that you understand how powerful it was. Not only
1:44
Speaker 1: did it shut down people's lives and their businesses and
1:49
Speaker 1: silence them, and this was conservatives that this happened to, but.
1:53
Speaker 2: It was even bigger than that.
1:55
Speaker 1: They gave the FBI and the Department of Justice access
1:59
Speaker 1: to virtually anything you were doing if they asked for
2:04
Speaker 1: access to it. So they also were not just allowing
2:11
Speaker 1: you to be spied on without your knowledge. And this
2:15
Speaker 1: was with all big tech. We learned about this from
2:17
Speaker 1: the hopefully incoming up BIA director Caspartel found out five
2:22
Speaker 1: years after the fact that he was being spied on
2:25
Speaker 1: by the FBI while he was working in the Trump
2:28
Speaker 1: administration because Google had to disclose it to him five
2:31
Speaker 1: years later. We exposed that on this show just a
2:34
Speaker 1: few weeks ago to remind you about the corruption. But
2:38
Speaker 1: this was also about making sure that conservatives did not
2:42
Speaker 1: win elections. This is what happens in places like Russia
2:47
Speaker 1: and in China. By the way, in China they don't
2:49
Speaker 1: even allow TikTok. Just to put in perspective, and what
2:53
Speaker 1: did they do. They made sure that right before the election,
2:56
Speaker 1: and I have the data to prove it just with
2:59
Speaker 1: my I account alone before this election in twenty twenty
3:03
Speaker 1: four that before the election, conservatives and their reach were
3:07
Speaker 1: completely silenced. I could post something before the election there
3:12
Speaker 1: was great information for you guys, and the chances of
3:15
Speaker 1: you seeing it were just nonexistent. I could post a
3:19
Speaker 1: link to a podcast on the of the show right
3:23
Speaker 1: before the election, when clearly people were running political content
3:27
Speaker 1: and on some days it may only be seen by
3:30
Speaker 1: a couple hundred people.
3:32
Speaker 2: This was well over a million followers.
3:36
Speaker 1: They weren't just tipping the scales, they were trying to
3:39
Speaker 1: rig elections. Let me say that again. Not only was
3:43
Speaker 1: Facebook and Instagram trying to tip the scales, and Google
3:47
Speaker 1: and TikTok, they were trying to sway elections. They were
3:52
Speaker 1: trying to fix elections. They also boosted content that came
3:58
Speaker 1: from the left. So if they're was propaganda or COVID propaganda.
4:04
Speaker 2: What did they do? They boosted it.
4:06
Speaker 1: And if you put something up there that Fauci didn't like,
4:09
Speaker 1: what did Anthony Founci do.
4:11
Speaker 2: This is a fact.
4:12
Speaker 1: He would send emails to Facebook to make sure that
4:16
Speaker 1: certain accounts were shut off or silenced, our posts were
4:20
Speaker 1: taken down. And then the most disturbing part of all
4:23
Speaker 1: about free speech, and that is the part I want
4:26
Speaker 1: you to really understand, is that Facebook to implement the
4:31
Speaker 1: silencing of people just like you. And that's why I'm
4:33
Speaker 1: saying today, do not get excited, because they're going to
4:36
Speaker 1: do it again as soon as they can. This is
4:38
Speaker 1: only a mood because Donald Trump and the Republicans are
4:41
Speaker 1: in charge of the House to send it in the
4:42
Speaker 1: White House, and they're hedging their bets. This is not authentic,
4:46
Speaker 1: it is not real, and they will do this again.
4:49
Speaker 1: They use what they called fact checkers. Now, let's go
4:54
Speaker 1: through how fact checkers worked the left and Facebook. They
5:00
Speaker 1: they hired, as they described it, fact checkers that would
5:03
Speaker 1: fact check things that you would put up on social media.
5:07
Speaker 1: And if you put up something they didn't like, they
5:10
Speaker 1: could take it down. They could limit your reach, they
5:13
Speaker 1: could shut down your account altogether. And that is exactly
5:16
Speaker 1: what they did to harass conservatives just like me. They
5:20
Speaker 1: went back years when I got on a list after
5:24
Speaker 1: a liberal group called Media Matters came after me. Media
5:28
Speaker 1: Matters went after conservatives that they were threatened by, that
5:32
Speaker 1: had significant influence. And what they did was they started
5:36
Speaker 1: writing a hit pieces on these conservatives.
5:38
Speaker 2: I was one of them.
5:40
Speaker 1: And then what happened was within hours of me criticizing
5:45
Speaker 1: Facebook at a conservative political action conference known Seapack, I
5:50
Speaker 1: was flying home and when I landed after doing that speech,
5:55
Speaker 1: which clearly someone saw at Facebook, they started going back
6:00
Speaker 1: years into posts and attacking the posts that I'd put up.
6:04
Speaker 2: Now, why would they do that? Why would they spend time?
6:07
Speaker 1: Because that's when they can shut down your reach, which
6:11
Speaker 1: also means they can shut down.
6:14
Speaker 2: The power you have with your audience.
6:17
Speaker 1: It was all about shutting down the power, and that's
6:21
Speaker 1: what they did. So I had created a business out
6:25
Speaker 1: of Facebook. I'd played on their platform. I'd help them
6:28
Speaker 1: grow it. I'd given hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
6:33
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars, hundreds of thousands of dollars in free advertising,
6:41
Speaker 1: maybe millions to Facebook promoting this platform for years, growing
6:46
Speaker 1: my audience there, and then one day because I spoke
6:49
Speaker 1: out against bias at Facebook, they then went in and
6:53
Speaker 1: they started tagging all of these fact checks to then say, oh,
6:56
Speaker 1: you've been warned, you've given you've spread missing information and
7:01
Speaker 1: disinformation and this is a lie and you.
7:03
Speaker 2: Could appeal it.
7:04
Speaker 1: It didn't matter. You could appeal it with facts. It
7:07
Speaker 1: didn't matter because once you were in Facebook jail, you
7:11
Speaker 1: never got your reach back. This is what communists do.
7:16
Speaker 1: This is, by the way, what Facebook has been doing
7:19
Speaker 1: for years. This has been happening for years, and now
7:25
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they decide they're
7:28
Speaker 1: going to put a friend of Donald Trump on the
7:30
Speaker 1: board of.
7:30
Speaker 2: Directors of Facebook.
7:33
Speaker 1: They've decided to put the guy who runs the UFC,
7:36
Speaker 1: who's a very tight friend and an ally of Donald Trump,
7:38
Speaker 1: on the board. Why did they do that? To playcate, Hey,
7:41
Speaker 1: we need direct access to the big man. We want
7:43
Speaker 1: everybody to get along. We don't want our business to
7:45
Speaker 1: be hurt. What can we do, all right, Well, throw
7:47
Speaker 1: that guy.
7:48
Speaker 2: On the board.
7:48
Speaker 1: Then they start hiring conservatives that are lobbyists that had
7:54
Speaker 1: significant power in DC to then quote be lobbyists for Meta,
7:59
Speaker 1: for the owner or wright metas a company that has
8:01
Speaker 1: Instagram and Facebook.
8:03
Speaker 2: And then they said, okay, see, we're.
8:05
Speaker 1: Gonna make some changes like x has We're gonna get
8:09
Speaker 1: rid out of nowhere because Donald Trump won the election.
8:12
Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of the quote fact checkers, and
8:16
Speaker 1: we're gonna have change how we.
8:18
Speaker 2: Do our community guidelines.
8:19
Speaker 1: Now, is this going to be huge for people like
8:22
Speaker 1: me and you when you're sharing conservative commentary or post
8:28
Speaker 1: attacking the left, or exposing things like COVID and some
8:32
Speaker 1: of the lies they are being given in theory?
8:35
Speaker 3: Yes?
8:36
Speaker 2: Am I excited about it?
8:38
Speaker 4: No?
8:39
Speaker 1: Because I know they can turn this on or off
8:42
Speaker 1: whenever politically they need to. So let's play for you
8:48
Speaker 1: what Zuckerberg says. He comes out, Trump wins, He realizes
8:54
Speaker 1: he's in real trouble with his company because of what
8:57
Speaker 1: they've done. He doesn't want there to be investigas. He
9:01
Speaker 1: does not, okay, want there to be major government moves
9:06
Speaker 1: against his company. So instead of dealing with that, they've
9:11
Speaker 1: decided to preemptively do.
9:13
Speaker 2: What he's done, which is good news.
9:16
Speaker 1: We're going back to our roots, We're going back to
9:20
Speaker 1: free speech.
9:20
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say it again.
9:21
Speaker 1: No, they're not. They're not going back to their roots.
9:25
Speaker 1: They're not going back to free speech. All they've understood
9:28
Speaker 1: is the side of this, which is right now, this
9:31
Speaker 1: is bad for business because Trump is in charge and
9:35
Speaker 1: everyone that we've been silencing. We need to let out
9:37
Speaker 1: of Facebook jail and Instagram jail and let them put
9:41
Speaker 1: stuff up there on the internet because if we don't.
9:44
Speaker 2: Then they're gonna come for us.
9:47
Speaker 1: Okay, now, let's get some of their allies, throw them
9:50
Speaker 1: on our board. Let's play the song and dance the
9:53
Speaker 1: right way, and then we will live another day to
9:56
Speaker 1: silence and censor conservatives down the road.
9:59
Speaker 2: That is the the only reason why Zuckerberg is doing
10:02
Speaker 2: this move. It is not because he believes in free speech.
10:05
Speaker 1: How do we know this because we've witnessed him not
10:08
Speaker 1: just silencing free speech, but giving access to the federal
10:12
Speaker 1: government to spy on you and to ruin your business
10:17
Speaker 1: and people's lives. I want you to understand, in advertising,
10:21
Speaker 1: when I was running my business on Facebook and growing
10:26
Speaker 1: the platform, growing their platform, we probably spent an advertising
10:31
Speaker 1: well over a million dollars on the platform to grow
10:36
Speaker 1: our business, and then in one day it all disappeared
10:40
Speaker 1: and we never got it back. There are people that
10:43
Speaker 1: I know that lives were ruined financially because they built
10:48
Speaker 1: entire businesses being being conservatives in the movement and grew
10:53
Speaker 1: to million, two million, three million, fifteen million followers.
10:58
Speaker 2: And what did Facebook do?
11:00
Speaker 1: Facebook said, we don't care that you spend money on
11:02
Speaker 1: our platform. We don't care because we don't like what
11:05
Speaker 1: you're saying. And so now we're going to silence you
11:07
Speaker 1: for ever. Listen now to what Mark Zuckerberg said, and
11:14
Speaker 1: I'm going to break in several times to tell you
11:17
Speaker 1: where he is lying to you.
11:18
Speaker 5: Hey, everyone, I want to talk about something important today,
11:22
Speaker 5: because it's time to get back to our roots around
11:24
Speaker 5: free expression on Facebook and Instagram.
11:26
Speaker 1: That is a lie. They're not getting back to their roots.
11:29
Speaker 1: Their roots are communism, their roots are socialism.
11:33
Speaker 2: Their roots are are.
11:35
Speaker 1: Trying to fix elections and silence half of the country,
11:38
Speaker 1: actually the majority of the country that voted for Donald Trump.
11:42
Speaker 1: If you had anything that had MAGA or Trump or
11:45
Speaker 1: anything that was anti COVID vaccines or vaccines in general,
11:50
Speaker 1: or anything they didn't like the government fauci the White House,
11:55
Speaker 1: they could flag it, send it over and you would
11:57
Speaker 1: be shut down. They're not getting back to their roots
12:00
Speaker 1: of free expression, expression and free speech on Facebook and Instagram.
12:04
Speaker 1: They're just realizing right now the deck is decked against
12:07
Speaker 1: them for their abuse of power.
12:10
Speaker 5: I started building social media to give people a voice.
12:13
Speaker 5: I gave a speech at Georgetown five years ago about
12:15
Speaker 5: the importance of protecting free expression, and I still believe
12:18
Speaker 5: this today. But a lot has happened over the last
12:21
Speaker 5: several years. There's been widespread debate about potential harms from
12:25
Speaker 5: online content. Governments and legacy media have pushed to censor
12:29
Speaker 5: more and more.
12:31
Speaker 1: That is also a lie. Facebook has pushed to censor
12:36
Speaker 1: more and more. Let me go back to the biggest
12:40
Speaker 1: example that I can give you. The same guy who's
12:43
Speaker 1: telling you they're getting back to the roots is the
12:45
Speaker 1: same guy that made the decision to kick Donald J. Trump,
12:48
Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America, off of Facebook.
12:53
Speaker 2: Can we just sit here.
12:55
Speaker 1: For a moment and remind ourselves that the guy who's
13:00
Speaker 1: telling you he's getting back to his roots is the
13:03
Speaker 1: same guy. After January the sixth of twenty twenty one,
13:09
Speaker 1: the company turned off the sitting president of the United
13:13
Speaker 1: States of America's account and you want me to believe
13:18
Speaker 1: that they're a free speech company getting back to their roots.
13:22
Speaker 2: They are still Kamis, folks.
13:25
Speaker 1: The only thing that changed is Trump didn't lose this election.
13:29
Speaker 5: He woned A lot of this is clearly political, but
13:32
Speaker 5: there's also a lot of legitimately bad stuff out there. Drugs, terrorism,
13:37
Speaker 5: child exploitation. These are things that we take very seriously
13:40
Speaker 5: and I want to make sure that we handle responsibly.
13:43
Speaker 5: So we built a lot of complex systems to moderate content.
13:46
Speaker 5: But the problem with complex systems is they make mistakes.
13:50
Speaker 5: Even if they accidentally censored just one percent of posts,
13:53
Speaker 5: that's millions of people. And we've reached a point where
13:56
Speaker 5: it's just too many mistakes and too much censorship.
13:59
Speaker 2: That so lie it's not too many mistakes and too
14:02
Speaker 2: much censorship.
14:03
Speaker 1: You guys were doing everything that you're now saying is
14:06
Speaker 1: evil literally twenty days ago, thirty days ago, forty days ago,
14:12
Speaker 1: fifty days ago. And you've been doing it since you
14:15
Speaker 1: made that speech at Georgetown, but you've only been doing
14:19
Speaker 1: it towards conservatives. You've only been doing it towards people
14:23
Speaker 1: like me and many of you that listened to this show.
14:28
Speaker 1: They were not censoring Joe Biden. They were not censoring
14:32
Speaker 1: ancient Anthony Fauci. These are the same scumbags that censored
14:37
Speaker 1: in silenced anyone who tried to share the Hunter Biden
14:43
Speaker 1: laptop story when it came out before the election in
14:46
Speaker 1: two thy and sixteen. These people are communists, They've always
14:52
Speaker 1: been communists, and this is not something to be impressed by.
14:58
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna say it again.
14:59
Speaker 1: You're gonna say a lot of conservatives come out and
15:02
Speaker 1: they're gonna say this is a great step in the
15:03
Speaker 1: right direction, and they're gonna they're gonna not want you
15:06
Speaker 1: to remember anything that.
15:07
Speaker 2: I just told you. So let me just be clear.
15:10
Speaker 1: Best case scenario, I am temporarily let out of jail
15:16
Speaker 1: in big text world, and I do believe that this
15:18
Speaker 1: is nothing more than temporarily being let out of jail.
15:24
Speaker 2: This is not real. It is temporary. Could it last
15:27
Speaker 2: two years?
15:28
Speaker 1: And the Democrats gain control of the House to send
15:30
Speaker 1: it and they go, all right, screw it, let's flip it. Absolutely,
15:34
Speaker 1: are they lying to you right now? Then they tell
15:36
Speaker 1: you that they that this is something that they believe in.
15:39
Speaker 2: Yes, they are lying to you. They do not believe
15:41
Speaker 2: in this.
15:42
Speaker 1: They never have believed in this, and they never will
15:43
Speaker 1: believe in free speech.
15:45
Speaker 2: They never ever will.
15:48
Speaker 1: And when Zuckerberg sits there says, what it's just too
15:50
Speaker 1: much censorship, then why.
15:52
Speaker 2: Were you doing it the day of the election.
15:55
Speaker 5: This year, the recent elections also feel like a cultural
15:59
Speaker 5: tipping point towards once again prioritizing speech. So we're gonna
16:02
Speaker 5: get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes,
16:06
Speaker 5: simplifying our policies, and restoring free expression on our platforms.
16:11
Speaker 1: So they're admitting with these changes that we have targeted Americans.
16:16
Speaker 1: We have targeted you, we have targeted what you've posted.
16:20
Speaker 1: We've allowed the government to spy on you, to read
16:23
Speaker 1: your messages, and to infiltrate the conservative community. And even
16:28
Speaker 1: if you're not a conservative, if you're just saying something
16:31
Speaker 1: that people on the left don't like, and this goes
16:35
Speaker 1: back to COVID nineteen, you will have your account suspended
16:38
Speaker 1: and shut down. And if you are the sitting president
16:42
Speaker 1: of the United States of America who just lost an election,
16:45
Speaker 1: will shut down your account as well.
16:47
Speaker 2: That is what they did to Donald J. Trump.
16:50
Speaker 1: All of this is a lie, all of this is
16:54
Speaker 1: a ploy, all of this is political bs One of
17:00
Speaker 1: this is real and it is all temporary, and if
17:04
Speaker 1: people in Congress don't realize this, then they are idiots.
17:09
Speaker 1: All right, I want to move to Jimmy Carter for
17:12
Speaker 1: a second, and look, I would love, and I mean
17:15
Speaker 1: this so sincerely, for there to be a moment to
17:21
Speaker 1: just honor Jimmy Carter in general, and for it not
17:24
Speaker 1: to be so political, Like I would love to come
17:27
Speaker 1: on here and not have to remind you of how
17:30
Speaker 1: big of a disaster Jimmy Carter was. And then some
17:34
Speaker 1: of you that are pessimists are gonna be back with then, Ben,
17:36
Speaker 1: why did you just say he was a disaster? Well,
17:39
Speaker 1: I'm going to explain that it is because the media
17:42
Speaker 1: is using the death of Jenny Carter to try to
17:44
Speaker 1: score political points against Donald Trump. As he was big,
17:50
Speaker 1: his body was being brought to Washington, d c.
17:52
Speaker 2: To Lane State in the rotunda.
17:54
Speaker 1: The media is trying to use this moment to attack Trump,
17:59
Speaker 1: to demean Trump, to say, well, you know, Donald Trump
18:05
Speaker 1: is just so different than Jimmy Carter was implying to
18:10
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter with some amazing statesman. Let me be clear,
18:13
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter not only wrecked the American economy and had
18:17
Speaker 1: interest rates at twelve, fifteen, eighteen percent on homes for
18:22
Speaker 1: goodness sakes while he was in office. But we also
18:24
Speaker 1: had lines at the gas station, and we had hundreds
18:28
Speaker 1: of Americans that were held hostage in Iran when they
18:32
Speaker 1: went into our embassy and took them hostage. And all
18:36
Speaker 1: of that happened under Jimmy Carter's time. Now again, I
18:38
Speaker 1: would love to come on the show and just say,
18:40
Speaker 1: you know, Jimmy Carter's lying in state and da da dah,
18:43
Speaker 1: move on. But the media is like, all right, how
18:45
Speaker 1: do we use the death of Jimmy Carter to then
18:48
Speaker 1: attack Donald Trump? Yeah, these people are sick. Here is
18:51
Speaker 1: proof of it. Take a listen to this on MSNBC.
18:54
Speaker 6: There is such a difference in the politics of today,
18:58
Speaker 6: as difficult as it may have seemed at the time,
19:01
Speaker 6: and it certainly was. Washington is never an easy place,
19:04
Speaker 6: has never been an easy place, and Jimmy Carter learned
19:07
Speaker 6: that the hard way. But I wonder what he would
19:11
Speaker 6: make of the politics of today. And do you think
19:14
Speaker 6: that there are echoes of the person he was that
19:18
Speaker 6: can resonate still today with people going into political life.
19:23
Speaker 3: Well, obviously Donald Trump does not share Jimmy Carter's view
19:31
Speaker 3: of the world of the responsibility that a government has
19:35
Speaker 3: to deal with human suffering. But I think that this
19:41
Speaker 3: past week's focus upon Jimmy Carter has helped to once
19:45
Speaker 3: again focus upon the better angels of our nature and
19:50
Speaker 3: how we can't forget those who would be left behind
19:54
Speaker 3: unless there was a conscious effort made by our government,
19:58
Speaker 3: by our people to focus upon that suffering, and not
20:03
Speaker 3: just here, but all around the world. We're not just
20:07
Speaker 3: four percent of the world where the moral and political
20:11
Speaker 3: leader for the whole rest of the planet, and Jimmy
20:14
Speaker 3: Cotter in his post presidency, tried to make sure that
20:17
Speaker 3: the whole rest of the world heard that highest aspiration
20:23
Speaker 3: lifted our gaze to the constellation of possibilities for ourselves,
20:28
Speaker 3: for our country, and for the rest of the world.
20:30
Speaker 3: And my hope is that this last week has helped
20:33
Speaker 3: to inspire more people to dedicate their lives to that agenda.
20:37
Speaker 1: So, in other words, Donald Trump is a scumbag and
20:41
Speaker 1: Donald Trump quote does not share Jimmy Carter's view of
20:44
Speaker 1: the world. And one of the responsibilities that the government
20:48
Speaker 1: has to deal with is human suffering, and Donald Trump
20:52
Speaker 1: is going to make you suffer. Those are the words
20:55
Speaker 1: on MSNBC Whyle they're supposed to be talking about Jimmy Carter.
20:57
Speaker 1: And I also think it tells you just how bad
21:00
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter's legacy was, that this is how they're having
21:03
Speaker 1: to deal with Jimmy Carter's death to use it to
21:06
Speaker 1: say we don't have anything we can really stand on.
21:08
Speaker 1: So let's just say, you know that Donald Trump sucks
21:12
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Carter was an amazing man, an amazing statesman,
21:16
Speaker 1: and he's going to be incredible, and that's what we're
21:18
Speaker 1: gonna say about him. That's what we're going to remember
21:20
Speaker 1: about him. And everything is better with a guy like
21:23
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carter in office and a guy and a loser
21:26
Speaker 1: like Donald.
21:26
Speaker 2: Trump who is not in office.
21:30
Speaker 1: Now, let me also just play for you Al Sharpton,
21:32
Speaker 1: Al Sharpton on TV, and the casket is carrying Jimmy Carter.
21:37
Speaker 1: It is arriving in that horse drawn wagon to the Capitol.
21:44
Speaker 1: It's very symbolic. It's a cold day in DC. It's
21:48
Speaker 1: a very important moment. And what does Al Sharpton tell
21:51
Speaker 1: us about Jimmy Carter, Well, he tells us Jimmy Carter
21:54
Speaker 1: is the real deal, not like Donald Trump, right, but
21:59
Speaker 1: he was the real president.
22:01
Speaker 4: Jimmy Carter's post presidency can be tied to President Bill
22:06
Speaker 4: Clinton's Clinton Foundation post presidency work can be connected.
22:11
Speaker 2: To George W.
22:12
Speaker 4: Bush's Bush Foundation continuation of pepfar program he launched as president.
22:19
Speaker 4: The president elect was a post president and for four years.
22:22
Speaker 4: I'm not cognizant of anything in the spirit of the
22:26
Speaker 4: Clinton Foundation, the Carter post presidency for the Bush Foundation.
22:31
Speaker 3: No.
22:32
Speaker 7: I think that he clearly saw his post presidency as
22:37
Speaker 7: not the end of his making a contribution. You know,
22:41
Speaker 7: there's a quote by Mark Twain the two most important
22:44
Speaker 7: moments in life is to find when you were born
22:46
Speaker 7: and then why you were born. And I think Jimmy
22:49
Speaker 7: Carter figured out why he was born. He was born
22:52
Speaker 7: to serve, and he never stopped serving. And he saw
22:56
Speaker 7: I think politics as a tool to serve. The quote
23:00
Speaker 7: from Ryan Holnebel about politics is to get justice in
23:04
Speaker 7: a sinful world. I think he saw that where he's
23:07
Speaker 7: very religious, and that was not something he just used
23:10
Speaker 7: for a campaign. He taught Sunday school till he couldn't
23:13
Speaker 7: teach it anymore. And the times I'd be around him.
23:16
Speaker 7: He say, Reverend ale, I see I there was your activism.
23:19
Speaker 7: How's your ministry? I said, what that is?
23:21
Speaker 2: President?
23:22
Speaker 7: He says, how's your prayer life? I mean, he really
23:25
Speaker 7: believed in what he was doing, and you could feel it.
23:29
Speaker 7: You know, sometimes you can feel people more than you
23:31
Speaker 7: can hear them. He was the guy you could feel
23:34
Speaker 7: was the real deal.
23:35
Speaker 1: I look, I'm all in favor of saying that some
23:38
Speaker 1: guy is a great guy, but to use someone's death
23:43
Speaker 1: to then score political points against Donald Trump, that is
23:50
Speaker 1: just disgusting. Like talk about what he did, but when
23:55
Speaker 1: you start doing it in a way that is all about, well,
23:59
Speaker 1: Donaldnald Trump sucks and Jimmy Carter was amazing, and they're
24:03
Speaker 1: just different and one was a statesman the other one wasn't.
24:07
Speaker 1: And to try to use his death to score political
24:12
Speaker 1: points is just one of those.
24:13
Speaker 2: Moments where I just roll my eyes.
24:16
Speaker 1: And even as I'm doing this show right now, like
24:18
Speaker 1: I'm seeing more and more clips that are going viral
24:21
Speaker 1: on him, and they're all about trying to say Donald
24:26
Speaker 1: Trump is no Jimmy Carter.
24:28
Speaker 2: Let me just say I'm fine with that.
24:30
Speaker 1: I do not want another Jimmy Carter Jimmy Carter and
24:36
Speaker 1: Joe Biden are going to go down in history is
24:38
Speaker 1: two the two worst presidents in the modern political error.
24:45
Speaker 1: I'm talking about that now for the reason and for
24:49
Speaker 1: one reason only, because they're the ones that try to
24:53
Speaker 1: politicize this moment. They could have just given him a
24:57
Speaker 1: nice sendoff. They could have just given him a nice
25:00
Speaker 1: they They didn't have to turn this into a Trump
25:04
Speaker 1: bashing moment, which is exactly what they decided to do.
25:08
Speaker 2: Even Kama Harris and.
25:09
Speaker 1: Her tribute to President Carter, that what was one where
25:15
Speaker 1: it was shot after shot that he's amazing and that
25:20
Speaker 1: he's presidential, and that he was an elder statesman, and
25:23
Speaker 1: it was all clearly a wink and a nod to
25:26
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's coming back into office.
25:29
Speaker 2: And this guy sucks. I love that he's a disruptor,
25:33
Speaker 2: and I'm referring to Trump.
25:35
Speaker 1: I hate that the left and the media decided to
25:37
Speaker 1: use the passing of Jimmy Carter where they could have
25:41
Speaker 1: just done a great job talking about a guy that
25:45
Speaker 1: had a legacy the same way I talked about in
25:46
Speaker 1: the show. His presidency really wasn't great, but what he
25:50
Speaker 1: did after he left the presidency actually think is pretty
25:53
Speaker 1: incredible and and reimagining himself the way that he did
25:58
Speaker 1: and his commitment to building homes and to a lot
26:02
Speaker 1: of the other nonprofits that he worked on and did
26:05
Speaker 1: great things for.
26:06
Speaker 2: Like, you could have had that moment.
26:08
Speaker 1: And instead you said, now we're going to go for
26:11
Speaker 1: hackery here, We're going to use his death member never
26:14
Speaker 1: let a crisis go to waste, Like that's the Democrat's plan, right,
26:18
Speaker 1: Never let a crisis go to waste. Never, never let
26:22
Speaker 1: an opportunity for someone else's bad moment to go to
26:27
Speaker 1: waste where you can't use it to attack your political opponent.
26:31
Speaker 1: That's part of their thinking, that's part of their mindset,
26:34
Speaker 1: that is part of what they believe.
26:37
Speaker 2: That is sad.
26:39
Speaker 1: But I also think they used this moment for another reason,
26:42
Speaker 1: and that was to protect Joe Biden. I think the
26:45
Speaker 1: timing of his death to be able to attack Trump
26:49
Speaker 1: and to not have to look at the fact that
26:51
Speaker 1: the new pulling is out that says that Joe Biden
26:54
Speaker 1: will go down in history is one of the top
26:57
Speaker 1: two worst presents in history. This is also a moment
27:01
Speaker 1: for them to give political cover to Joe Biden. And
27:04
Speaker 1: I don't think the American people, by the way, are
27:05
Speaker 1: going to forget who Joe Biden is, that he sold
27:08
Speaker 1: out the American people to the highest bidder, to the
27:11
Speaker 1: most corrupt people in the world. I don't believe that
27:15
Speaker 1: they're going to forget it. I believe the American people
27:18
Speaker 1: will always remember who Joe Biden, the Biden crime family was,
27:22
Speaker 1: and that is exactly why the Gallup poll came out
27:24
Speaker 1: that said Americans to remember Joe Biden as the second
27:28
Speaker 1: worst president in history.
27:32
Speaker 2: That's the takeaway.
