EXCLUSIVE!! We Join Herschel Walker On The Campaign Bus IN GEORGIA To Talk About His Senate Runoff Race That Could Decide Who Controls The Senate. · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome it as a verdict. With Ben Ferguson and Senator
0:03
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz Sentator, we're sitting on a bus. This is weird.
0:06
Speaker 1: It's not your bus that's where we've usually been. This
0:10
Speaker 1: is the bus with a name on the side of it,
0:12
Speaker 1: Herschel Walker, who is our guest with us today. You
0:16
Speaker 1: got thirty more days. They didn't tell you when you
0:18
Speaker 1: signed up for this you were gonna get another thirty days, right.
0:20
Speaker 1: They didn't tell me that. But I'm ready for it.
0:22
Speaker 1: I tell everyone I was built for this here and
0:25
Speaker 1: and not that I'm looking at. I'm excited about it
0:27
Speaker 1: because I wanted to win out right, But if they
0:30
Speaker 1: want to fight thirty more days, I'm ready to go. Senator,
0:34
Speaker 1: You've done a lot of bus time. You've been out
0:36
Speaker 1: here with Herschel for so many people that don't know
0:40
Speaker 1: what makes him so dynamic? What was it that drew
0:43
Speaker 1: you to him as a candidate, drew you to come
0:46
Speaker 1: to Georgia. And immediately we found out this was going
0:48
Speaker 1: to run off, you said, I'm going, Well, look, we're
0:51
Speaker 1: sitting here right now. It is Thursday night, so the
0:54
Speaker 1: election was two days ago. We're on the ground here
0:57
Speaker 1: in George outside Atlanta. We're getting ready to do a
1:00
Speaker 1: big rally here and it is it's the beginning of overtime.
1:04
Speaker 1: And you know, you know, you're pissed off when you
1:06
Speaker 1: go to overtime, but you got one objective, which is
1:09
Speaker 1: when the damn thing. And we've got right now a
1:12
Speaker 1: sprint from now to December sixth. And I got to say, look,
1:18
Speaker 1: I've campaigned with Herschel on the ground in Georgia now
1:21
Speaker 1: multiple times. I think we're incredibly fortunate to have a
1:26
Speaker 1: candidate like Herschel. He is someone who has led an
1:31
Speaker 1: extraordinary life. He's someone who grew up with very little
1:37
Speaker 1: but has the heart of a champion, has a fire
1:42
Speaker 1: to compete. And I'll tell you when when that that
1:46
Speaker 1: really was driven home to me. So when we started,
1:51
Speaker 1: I came out early. We did a rally before and
1:53
Speaker 1: Herschel was just getting started. You can kind of tell
1:55
Speaker 1: this politics thing. He was sort of feeling around a lot.
1:57
Speaker 1: He had had some good stories, had a story worry
2:00
Speaker 1: about you know, a bull that looks for some cows
2:02
Speaker 1: and ends up getting stuck with some other bulls. And
2:04
Speaker 1: it was pretty, it was good, it's funny, it was real,
2:07
Speaker 1: but It was interesting. Last time I was here, Herschel
2:11
Speaker 1: was very different, and it's interesting how a campaign changes someone.
2:15
Speaker 1: And what had changed is Warnock had punched him in
2:19
Speaker 1: the face metaphorically speaking, because Warnock's not a fool and
2:23
Speaker 1: he wouldn't actually do it, Otherwise this race would be over.
2:30
Speaker 1: But it was interesting because I could say Herschel was
2:33
Speaker 1: pissed off and he was on fire on the stump.
2:36
Speaker 1: It was a very different the competitiveness. Look, campaigns are
2:42
Speaker 1: not easy. They come at you hard, they drag you
2:44
Speaker 1: through the mud, they get nasty. I mean that this
2:48
Speaker 1: is ugly stuff. And this guy's a fighter, and we've
2:51
Speaker 1: got a fight right now. Where the stakes the whole country.
2:57
Speaker 1: Our eyes are on Georgia, and the stakes for every state,
3:01
Speaker 1: for Texas, for every other state, the stakes for the
3:04
Speaker 1: Senate depend on Georgia. Herschel. I think you're gonna win
3:07
Speaker 1: this race, but it's gonna take every person in Georgia
3:11
Speaker 1: rising up and saying we're gonna fight this fight. And
3:14
Speaker 1: it's gonna take folks all over the country. If you
3:18
Speaker 1: care about whether Chuck Schumer's majority leader, go to Teamherschel
3:23
Speaker 1: dot com. Is that right now? That's exactly right. Go
3:26
Speaker 1: to Teamherser dot com. And not just if Chuck Schumer,
3:29
Speaker 1: but if you care and not want coming to Harris
3:32
Speaker 1: to have your vote to decide your life, you gotta
3:35
Speaker 1: go to Teamherser dot com because they want to try
3:37
Speaker 1: to buy his seat. And I can tell them they're
3:39
Speaker 1: not gonna buy his seat because one thing about it
3:42
Speaker 1: is when you take me into overtime, that means you
3:44
Speaker 1: be getting ready to get beat because I'm gonna beat
3:47
Speaker 1: in overtime. No one is gonna outwork me. And I'm
3:49
Speaker 1: not going to give this seat to Senator one, not
3:52
Speaker 1: because he's proven that this seat do not blown to
3:54
Speaker 1: him and the way he has voted. This seat blown
3:57
Speaker 1: to the great people of Georgia, but he's giving it
3:59
Speaker 1: away to Washington elite. He's given it away to the
4:03
Speaker 1: people from California on New York. Well, it's time for
4:06
Speaker 1: me to take this seat. Bay I said this this
4:08
Speaker 1: morning on my show. And I said, and I rarely
4:10
Speaker 1: asked people to give money to political campaigns like directly,
4:13
Speaker 1: And I said, Democrats are really good at raising money.
4:16
Speaker 1: And all of their email lists have been activated against you.
4:19
Speaker 1: They're raising money against you. If you are listening right
4:22
Speaker 1: now to verdict. You need to give money because if
4:24
Speaker 1: you got if you woke up to go vote on
4:26

Speaker 1: on your website. And I want you to say it
6:18
Speaker 1: again because this is going to be a unbelievable amount
6:22
Speaker 1: of money raised by the left and you got to
6:24
Speaker 1: counter that. And big donors and the sources of the
6:27
Speaker 1: world are gonna be all in on this race to
6:29
Speaker 1: make sure that you lose. That's their goal of their agenda.
6:31
Speaker 1: We need to understand that where a warrior and people
6:34
Speaker 1: are gonna have to give money to your campaign, they're
6:37
Speaker 1: gonna have to. And you know, and that was one
6:39
Speaker 1: thing I say I don't want to do is raise money.
6:42
Speaker 1: You know, that's the most embarrassing thing because you start
6:44
Speaker 1: calling people up and your friends don't want to ask
6:46
Speaker 1: the phoneman anymore because you always ask the money. But
6:49
Speaker 1: I say, you gotta ask some money because they want
6:52
Speaker 1: to buy this seat. They have no policy. They can't
6:54
Speaker 1: talk about the policy. They want to talk about money.
6:56
Speaker 1: They want to talk about raising money. I said, guys,
6:59
Speaker 1: right now, they proven what they've done in this country
7:01
Speaker 1: in less than two short years. Senator were not proven
7:04
Speaker 1: who he was. And the end of debate, I saw
7:07
Speaker 1: that he was a one trick ponent. And what I
7:09
Speaker 1: mean by that is he's not going to change his direction.
7:12
Speaker 1: And I think everyone heard our president say yesterday with
7:15
Speaker 1: everything falling down around him, I'm not going to change
7:18
Speaker 1: the direction, which me he doesn't care about the people. Well,
7:21
Speaker 1: I do, and people as me why I'm in it,
7:23
Speaker 1: and I'm in it because I care. I care about
7:26
Speaker 1: this the crime, I care about this open border, I
7:29
Speaker 1: care about this economy. I care what they're doing to
7:31
Speaker 1: the greatest country in the world is the United States
7:34
Speaker 1: of America, and I'm not going to let him do
7:36
Speaker 1: it to this country. Here there was something interesting to
7:38
Speaker 1: happen to the governor's race here, and I want to
7:39
Speaker 1: get your take on that. And that's the issue of crime,
7:41
Speaker 1: I think was a big issue, and I think Stacy
7:44
Speaker 1: Abrams was somebody that obviously was very clear about defund
7:46
Speaker 1: the police and activist dash and going against things that
7:50
Speaker 1: can make for safe communities. I think that helped in
7:53
Speaker 1: that in that governor's race there. That's gonna be an issue,
7:56
Speaker 1: I think even more so this time around, and people
7:58
Speaker 1: need to understand where you stand on that issue. You
8:00
Speaker 1: are one hundred percent backing police, You're one hundred percent
8:03
Speaker 1: for law and order, and you're one hundred percent for
8:05
Speaker 1: getting rid of things like Castle's failing activists. Well, you know,
8:08
Speaker 1: I have more riff that has endorsed me than anyone
8:10
Speaker 1: that was in the race. And now, one of the
8:12
Speaker 1: things about it, I'm always always going to back our
8:14
Speaker 1: men and women in blue. I believe that we gotta
8:17
Speaker 1: have we have to have checks and balances of what's
8:20
Speaker 1: going on in this country. And I always said in
8:22
Speaker 1: the Great Garden to Adam and Eve, God told them
8:25
Speaker 1: they have told a freedom, but they also overheld to
8:27
Speaker 1: a responsibility. We got to have people hold people to responsibility.
8:30
Speaker 1: And I'm running against a pastor who's a senator that
8:35
Speaker 1: believes in no cash bill, a senator a pastor that
8:39
Speaker 1: believes in having open prisoner letting people out of prisoners,
8:42
Speaker 1: that are gonna make us prisoners in our own home.
8:45
Speaker 1: And I said, I cannot let that happen right now.
8:47
Speaker 1: We are good people. There's no doubt you want to
8:50
Speaker 1: be a choking passion, but you also want to hold
8:52
Speaker 1: people accountable. And you have put the morale down. He's
8:55
Speaker 1: put the recruitment down because he've called all men and
8:58
Speaker 1: women in blue thug and bullies high in the work.
9:01
Speaker 1: You have someone in office in Washington that do not
9:04
Speaker 1: believe in all men and women in Blue. I will
9:06
Speaker 1: always have that back. They've always had my back, and
9:08
Speaker 1: I'm always going to fight for them. And I'm gonna
9:10
Speaker 1: fight as hard as I can right now to make
9:12
Speaker 1: sure that they get to respect that they deserve. And
9:16
Speaker 1: let me say something on this look in the Senate.
9:20
Speaker 1: The dynamic we've seen the last two years is everyone
9:22
Speaker 1: in the Senate is galloped to the left. There are
9:24
Speaker 1: no moderates left. But even so, Raphael Warnock is on
9:29
Speaker 1: the bleeding left wing of the Senate Democrats. He is
9:33
Speaker 1: a fellow traveler with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. He
9:36
Speaker 1: is a true believer, and without exaggeration, I don't think
9:40
Speaker 1: there's a state in the country where there's a greater
9:44
Speaker 1: disconnect between the senator representing it and the values of
9:49
Speaker 1: the people of Georgia. The people of Georgia are not socialists.
9:52
Speaker 1: When you have the sitting senator call police officers thugs
9:56
Speaker 1: and bullies, I mean, this is a lot of Democrats Washington,
10:00
Speaker 1: at least pretend they don't support defunding the police. Raphael
10:04
Speaker 1: Warnock is a true believer except at one period of time.
10:07
Speaker 1: And I remember when when I was last here, you
10:10
Speaker 1: and I were sitting down for lunch at a barbecue place,
10:12
Speaker 1: and we were talking about how Democrats win when they
10:17
Speaker 1: effectively lie, and Republicans win when we effectively tell the
10:21
Speaker 1: truth because people share our values, particularly in Georgia. Raphael
10:26
Speaker 1: Warnock is literally running ads in Georgia bragging about a
10:30
Speaker 1: bill he passed with me. Yes, now let's be clear,
10:33
Speaker 1: he's not running, you know, go for the defund the
10:35
Speaker 1: police socialist. He's saying, I passed me a bill with
10:37
Speaker 1: Ted cruz Well It is true. We did pass a bill,
10:41
Speaker 1: a freeway that goes from Texas all the way to
10:43
Speaker 1: Georgia was the Cruise Warnock bill. We teamed up together.
10:47
Speaker 1: But it says something that that's what he wants to
10:49
Speaker 1: tell the people of Georgia. He wants to pretend that
10:54
Speaker 1: he agrees with with regular people. Why I tell you what.
10:57
Speaker 1: He doesn't agree with regular people when he votes in
10:59
Speaker 1: favor of open borders. He doesn't agree with regular people
11:01
Speaker 1: when he votes in favor of confirming advocates for abolishing
11:06
Speaker 1: the police, which he did and he was the deciding vote.
11:09
Speaker 1: He doesn't agree with regular people of Georgia when he
11:11
Speaker 1: votes in favor of George Sorrow's DA's to let violent
11:14
Speaker 1: criminals go. And he doesn't agree with regular people when
11:17
Speaker 1: he votes over and over and over again for trillions
11:20
Speaker 1: and spending that is driving your prices up, your food up,
11:23
Speaker 1: your gasoline up. This guy is a radical and it
11:29
Speaker 1: says something. You know. Look, they're not attacking Herschel on
11:32
Speaker 1: what he believes. You know why because the people of
11:35
Speaker 1: Georgia agree with what you believe. You know, when it
11:38
Speaker 1: comes to the police, you support the cops. When it
11:40
Speaker 1: comes to the military. You support the military when it
11:43
Speaker 1: comes to defending our constitutional rights, the Second Amendment, you
11:46
Speaker 1: support the Second Amendment. That's what Georgia believes. Warnock doesn't.
11:51
Speaker 1: And so to win this race, you've just got to
11:54
Speaker 1: tell people the truth. And for him to win this race,
11:57
Speaker 1: he's got to tell people lies and just go after
12:01
Speaker 1: and smear you. And sadly, that's what they're trying to do.
12:04
Speaker 1: And I understood that when I got into this race,
12:06
Speaker 1: and I was prepared for it. I said, I was
12:08
Speaker 1: prepared for it. So that's the reason I said I'm
12:11
Speaker 1: the right one for this job, because they prepared me
12:14
Speaker 1: for a moment like this. My heaven a father prepared
12:16
Speaker 1: me for it. It has happened to me when I
12:18
Speaker 1: was a little kid growing up, and I've gone I've
12:22
Speaker 1: done so many great things because of that. Well, right now,
12:25
Speaker 1: this is much much bigger than herschel Walker. You mentioned
12:28
Speaker 1: your faith twice now, and I want people that maybe
12:31
Speaker 1: have not heard about your faith for you to tell
12:34
Speaker 1: them a little bit about you as a person and
12:36
Speaker 1: your faith. I love the fact that you, as many
12:40
Speaker 1: people should admit, you make mistakes in life. You're a sinner.
12:44
Speaker 1: God forgives you believe in the Lord, and I want
12:48
Speaker 1: people that maybe haven't heard that part of your story
12:51
Speaker 1: to hear it real quick. Well, you know, I grew
12:52
Speaker 1: up in the church. Now, I'm from a praying family.
12:54
Speaker 1: My mom as a minister. I have two sisters as ministers.
12:57
Speaker 1: I have two brother in laws as ministers. So I
12:59
Speaker 1: grew up in a church, and you I grew up
13:01
Speaker 1: as my mom's I was overweight, I had a speech impediment.
13:04
Speaker 1: But because of the the grace of God, you know, I
13:06
Speaker 1: got a chance to go to college, I got a
13:08
Speaker 1: chance to do a lot of great things. And I've
13:10
Speaker 1: been knocked down. I've gotten knocked down some some tough,
13:13
Speaker 1: tough times, but because of my faith, God has always
13:16
Speaker 1: picked me back up and he kept me going forward.
13:18
Speaker 1: But right now, this moment here, God has put me
13:22
Speaker 1: in this time here because He prepared me for this moment,
13:25
Speaker 1: because he knew I can take it, Because he knew
13:27
Speaker 1: that they were gonna come after me like this, and
13:29
Speaker 1: he knew what they were gonna try to do to
13:30
Speaker 1: our kids when they try to indoctrinate our kids a CRT,
13:34
Speaker 1: when they try to indoctrinate all our kids by telling
13:36
Speaker 1: our kids, if you're white, you're you're an oppressor by
13:39
Speaker 1: telling our kids if you blight your victim, and he
13:42
Speaker 1: knew that I would say, no, everyone can be victorious.
13:45
Speaker 1: Any boy telling our military you can't serve God in
13:48
Speaker 1: the military. At the same time, this is what all
13:50
Speaker 1: the senator or sitting senator's doing. But yet I visited
13:53
Speaker 1: over four hundred basis telling our young men and women
13:56
Speaker 1: da and service that you are the greatest things that
13:58
Speaker 1: ever happened to this country. That's the reason for this country.
14:01
Speaker 1: And it doesn't matter what they call me. They can
14:03
Speaker 1: call me any name they want to call me. I
14:06
Speaker 1: know who I am. I'm blown them to my heaven
14:08
Speaker 1: and father of Jesus Christ. So I don't worry about
14:10
Speaker 1: name caller, but I do worry about what they're doing
14:13
Speaker 1: to my family and Georgia people, no matter what the
14:16
Speaker 1: color of your skin, you're my family. I'm gonna fight
14:18
Speaker 1: for you because I know right now, and I said it,
14:21
Speaker 1: we're going up against a Marxist. When you want to
14:23
Speaker 1: abolish the police, you want to abolish a court system,
14:26
Speaker 1: you want to abolish the family unit, that is a Marxist.
14:29
Speaker 1: That's what he continued to do, and he has no
14:32
Speaker 1: He doesn't believe in redemption. He said it even during
14:35
Speaker 1: the Resurrection. He said that you can get it to
14:37
Speaker 1: heaven through good deeds. This is a sitting senator. It
14:40
Speaker 1: is a minicess on a poor pit, and he does
14:43
Speaker 1: things that I said I disagree with. And this is
14:46
Speaker 1: what's so great about the United States of America. We
14:49
Speaker 1: can agree to disagree, but he don't even believe in that.
14:51
Speaker 1: He don't believe in you having your right to speak.
14:53
Speaker 1: He's taking the First Amendment away, and then you want
14:56
Speaker 1: to take your religion freedom away. That's what a sitting
14:58
Speaker 1: sentence they want to do. And it's not going to
15:00
Speaker 1: happen on my watch. Well, and let me tell you something,
15:03
Speaker 1: Ben that I really admire about Herschel. You're talking about
15:05
Speaker 1: his faith and also his love for the country. Listen,
15:09
Speaker 1: Herschel is one of the most famous athletes who have
15:12
Speaker 1: ever lived. I mean it is, and he's real famous.
15:16
Speaker 1: This is a point to understand. Like I sort of joke,
15:19
Speaker 1: there's political famous that is fake famous, and there are
15:23
Speaker 1: all sorts of politicians that there's an old line that Hollywood,
15:26
Speaker 1: that politics is Hollywood for ugly people. And I got
15:31
Speaker 1: to tell you there's a lot of truth to that height,
15:33
Speaker 1: he says, I resemble that remark. But look, Herschel is
15:38
Speaker 1: arguably the greatest college football player who have ever lived.
15:43
Speaker 1: And the fact that he would go listen to be
15:47
Speaker 1: a god of the gridiron, I'm guessing is a pretty
15:51
Speaker 1: damn good life. I'm guessing that for a long time
15:54
Speaker 1: people have been you know, and I've been out on
15:57
Speaker 1: the campaign trail and see how people react to her.
16:00
Speaker 1: It's very different from I've been with all sorts of
16:02
Speaker 1: famous politicians, and I've never seen anyone react to people
16:05
Speaker 1: the way they react to Herschel. But the fact that
16:07
Speaker 1: he would take a life that you're rich and famous
16:11
Speaker 1: and successful and people are nice to you, and you
16:14
Speaker 1: step into the garbage of politics where you know they're
16:18
Speaker 1: gonna slander you, they're gonna attack your family, they're gonna
16:21
Speaker 1: get nasty, they're gonna get ugly, they're gonna lie about you.
16:24
Speaker 1: You don't have any good reason to do this. For
16:27
Speaker 1: most people, getting elected to office is a step up
16:29
Speaker 1: in status, is a step up in fame. For you,
16:31
Speaker 1: it's a step down and everything. And the only reason
16:35
Speaker 1: you're doing this is you love this country and your
16:39
Speaker 1: sense of service is real and and and it's look,
16:44
Speaker 1: you have someone like like John Fetterman, and God bless,
16:48
Speaker 1: I'm gonna serve with Fetterman, and you're going to two
16:51
Speaker 1: look for someone like him. That's a big step up
16:54
Speaker 1: for Herschel to do this, I think demonstrates such an
16:59
Speaker 1: incredible love for this country that it is a demonstration
17:04
Speaker 1: of service that is remarkable. Well, my faith that talks
17:10
Speaker 1: about service, that's what you're supposed to do. You're supposed
17:12
Speaker 1: to serve. And right now it doesn't matter. How could
17:15
Speaker 1: I do well that if I see my brother heard
17:17
Speaker 1: it right now and this country has heard it right now.
17:20
Speaker 1: This country has HEARDing because of this economent that's HEARDing
17:22
Speaker 1: because a crime. It's heard of me acause the open border.
17:25
Speaker 1: It's hurting because of everything that's happened in all the schools,
17:28
Speaker 1: in our military and all police department. But it's because
17:32
Speaker 1: we have people in Washington that have forgotten about the
17:34
Speaker 1: people that elected them to go to serve them. Well,
17:37
Speaker 1: I said, we can correct it. And the way we
17:39
Speaker 1: correct it is by coming together. Even in the Bible
17:42
Speaker 1: it's said our house divided cannot stand right now that
17:46
Speaker 1: people in Washington want to divide us. They want to
17:48
Speaker 1: divide us because they can conquer if they divide us.
17:51
Speaker 1: But I want to continue to bring us together. I
17:53
Speaker 1: want to talk about traditional family values because before we started,
17:58
Speaker 1: you were talking about athletes and the obsession with transgendered
18:03
Speaker 1: athletes and try to change the way that we do
18:05
Speaker 1: sports between just being men and women. There is a difference.
18:08
Speaker 1: You obviously know that, but as an athlete, you have
18:11
Speaker 1: a very unique perspective, especially at the highest level, and
18:14
Speaker 1: I want to get into that. But before I get that, center,
18:17
Speaker 1: you and I we said this on the plane. Right here,
18:20
Speaker 1: we got to make sure people that are listening today
18:22
Speaker 1: get in this fight. If you went out and vote
18:24
Speaker 1: is I wanted you to understand we came here as
18:26
Speaker 1: fast as we could because we knew that money need
18:28
Speaker 1: to be raised and people need to go to your website.
18:32
Speaker 1: I want you to say it again, Teamherschel dot com
18:35
Speaker 1: and donate Teamherschel dot com because you understand this. Democrats
18:38
Speaker 1: right now raising money like crazy. That's what they do
18:40
Speaker 1: that they are printing cash. So I want to speak
18:43
Speaker 1: to two groups of people. Number One, if you were
18:46
Speaker 1: in Georgia, you have been given an opportunity to step
18:50
Speaker 1: up and defend this entire country. I think we are
18:53
Speaker 1: in a good position in Nevada. I think we've got
18:55
Speaker 1: a very good chance at winning in Nevada, Adam Laxalt
18:58
Speaker 1: winning that seat. We have a shot in Arizona as well.
19:03
Speaker 1: But I think that the odds are significant that control
19:07
Speaker 1: of the Senate is going to hinge on the state
19:09
Speaker 1: of Georgia on December sixth. Now I get for a
19:13
Speaker 1: lot of folks, me included, it's a little bit deja
19:16
Speaker 1: vu from two years ago. We did this before and
19:18
Speaker 1: it didn't end up good. Well, look, this is a
19:21
Speaker 1: very different time than two years ago, very different, and
19:24
Speaker 1: I think the people of Georgia are in a position
19:27
Speaker 1: where they understand they have the opportunity. Listen, if there's
19:30
Speaker 1: a Democrat Senator and there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court,
19:34
Speaker 1: if a justice dies on the Supreme Court, if there's
19:36
Speaker 1: a Democrat senator, they will rubb or stamp the most
19:39
Speaker 1: radical left wing zealot. Who will take away your free speech,
19:43
Speaker 1: You will take away your religious liberty, will take away
19:45
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, who will undermine the rule of law.
19:50
Speaker 1: You look at the radicals. If you don't like the
19:52
Speaker 1: crazies in this administration. Look, Joe Biden is nominating people
19:57
Speaker 1: who are extreme. He's nominated three of the leading advocates
20:02
Speaker 1: of abolishing the police to senior positions to the Department
20:05
Speaker 1: of Justice. If there's a Democrat Senate, every one of
20:08
Speaker 1: them gets rubber stamped. Herschel wins, and he's gonna win.
20:12
Speaker 1: We can stop those radicals, we can have oversight of
20:16
Speaker 1: the corruption of the abuse. And so I want to
20:19
Speaker 1: have two messages. Number One to everyone in Georgia. You
20:22
Speaker 1: need to get out and vote on December six. You
20:24
Speaker 1: need to bring your friends, you need to bring your family.
20:26
Speaker 1: You literally have an opportunity where the entire country is
20:30
Speaker 1: counting on you on Georgia. And I'll say, if you
20:33
Speaker 1: don't live in Georgia, if you live in Texas, if
20:35
Speaker 1: you live in California, if you live in Guam, if
20:37
Speaker 1: you live in Australia. And by the way, this podcast
20:41
Speaker 1: I was looking today is you know, among the podcasts
20:45
Speaker 1: listening to in Australia, India, it's listened to in China.
20:49
Speaker 1: I was little. I'm kind of worried the Chi coms
20:51
Speaker 1: are listening to us. They're getting in to trying to
20:54
Speaker 1: get intel from us. All right, if you're at chi Com,
20:56
Speaker 1: don't give money to Herschel, give money to give money
20:58
Speaker 1: to ward Off. But if you're not, go to Teamherschel
21:03
Speaker 1: dot com, Teamherschel dot com, Teamherschel dot com. If we
21:06
Speaker 1: do this right, we'll say that more than Lindsay Graham
21:08
Speaker 1: sends Lindsay Graham dot com and I think he has
21:11
Speaker 1: that tattooed on his forehead. That's very true. But if
21:14
Speaker 1: you're in Georgia, vote and get everyone you know to vote.
21:17
Speaker 1: If you're not in Georgia, give what you can because
21:20
Speaker 1: this battle it's not just for Georgia, it's for the
21:22
Speaker 1: whole country. Hey, friends, you're listening to Verdict with Ted

Speaker 1: eighteen eighty three. Or text Cactus to six five five
22:45
Speaker 1: three two. And now back to Verdict with Ted Cruz
22:48
Speaker 1: and Ben ferguson her. So this is going to be
22:51
Speaker 1: a family values I think fight really big this time around,
22:55
Speaker 1: these last thirty days, reminding mothers and fathers that you
22:59
Speaker 1: and the Republican Party are a party of traditional values.
23:04
Speaker 1: You have a very unique perspective, as that mentioned a
23:06
Speaker 1: mom who goes in a former athlete. One of these
23:08
Speaker 1: issues is trying to turn boys into girls and girls
23:10
Speaker 1: into boys. I think this is something that a lot
23:12
Speaker 1: of moms and a lot of dads are very concerned about.
23:15
Speaker 1: You have a unique perspective on it, and I want
23:17
Speaker 1: to get your take because this forcing you to believe
23:20
Speaker 1: that women are the same as men, and that women
23:22
Speaker 1: should play with men and men should be able to
23:24
Speaker 1: go back like women. It is total insanity and it
23:26
Speaker 1: needs to be treated that way. Well, it has to
23:28
Speaker 1: be treated that way. It's totally insanitor. And you know,
23:31
Speaker 1: you have a citizen senator that voted to put men
23:35
Speaker 1: in women's sports, and that's sort of like at my
23:37
Speaker 1: age now, putting me to compete against your daughter. And
23:40
Speaker 1: at my age right now, I can go to the
23:42
Speaker 1: Olympics and win a lot of gold medals against very
23:46
Speaker 1: very good women. But there's a total difference between a
23:50
Speaker 1: biological man and a biological woman. And I'm not sure
23:55
Speaker 1: why we don't have more people standing up while we
23:58
Speaker 1: having people not standing up. Because I do know the
24:01
Speaker 1: definition of a woman, and I tell people this all
24:03
Speaker 1: the time, it's man and woman. They're mad that woman
24:06
Speaker 1: is made from a real of a man. They're totally different.
24:09
Speaker 1: And we cannot continue to have and put little girls
24:12
Speaker 1: down so they cannot have their dream. If we continue
24:16
Speaker 1: to do and go like we're going, we're totally destroying.
24:19
Speaker 1: Where is the women? Liver is out there? Where are they?
24:21
Speaker 1: Where are they standing up? Because they've come so far
24:24
Speaker 1: to have people voting in Washington to send them back,
24:27
Speaker 1: And that's the same as what I said it would do.
24:29
Speaker 1: And we're going bikers rather than going forward. Most of
24:32
Speaker 1: the people that I grew up listening to doctor Kean,
24:35
Speaker 1: he handed off up a ton, Well what did everyone
24:38
Speaker 1: do that got the ba ton? They just sit it
24:39
Speaker 1: down and start talking about things going bikers. Right now,
24:43
Speaker 1: we've got to go forward the way you go forward
24:45
Speaker 1: by giving everyone an opportunity to go out and have success,
24:48
Speaker 1: giving everyone the opportunity to have that America's dream. But
24:51
Speaker 1: right now we've forgotten about that America's dream because we
24:54
Speaker 1: put people in Washington that want to give up our
24:56
Speaker 1: energy to our enemy. They want to put men and
24:59
Speaker 1: women's sports. They want to get this board a wide open.
25:01
Speaker 1: They want to have a lawless society, and it doesn't
25:04
Speaker 1: work well. And herschel you've seen firsthand. You know, I'm
25:06
Speaker 1: the father of two daughters, and my youngest daughters an athletes.
25:10
Speaker 1: You play softball. Your sister had a track scholarship. But
25:14
Speaker 1: Title nine has been incredible in terms of giving girls
25:17
Speaker 1: and giving young women the opportunity to compete and compete
25:21
Speaker 1: at an elite level. You know, you know what does
25:24
Speaker 1: it mean for girls and young women if suddenly biological
25:28
Speaker 1: males can come in and compete. You've competed at the
25:32
Speaker 1: very highest levels. Is that explain to folks? If that's fair? Well,
25:39
Speaker 1: you know one of the things that when Titan nine
25:40
Speaker 1: first was introduced, it was Titan nine to make it
25:43
Speaker 1: an equal playing field in the amount of women athletes,
25:47
Speaker 1: and they would do it was scholarship. Yeah, but then
25:50
Speaker 1: we had people wanting now to bring let's put biological men,
25:53
Speaker 1: and Titan nine that was not what it would desire.
25:55
Speaker 1: And one year eligibility last you got one year back.
25:58
Speaker 1: I can get it, you know, Yes, of the Master's right,
26:01
Speaker 1: yea then as a girl and and I think that's
26:05
Speaker 1: what it's so what it's so sad that gave women
26:09
Speaker 1: an opportunity to step up like the men would do it.
26:12
Speaker 1: And the same as when you watch today you watch
26:15
Speaker 1: the women's soccer players and we have a good soccer team.
26:18
Speaker 1: Whether they wanted to get the same amount of money
26:20
Speaker 1: the men would get it. Well, now if you take
26:23
Speaker 1: some of the men and start putting them in the
26:24
Speaker 1: women's soccer team, now you get rid of the women.
26:27
Speaker 1: Whether it's not right. And I think all women should
26:30
Speaker 1: stand up and say no, and I'm gonna be that
26:32
Speaker 1: champion to fight with them. I'm gonna fight for them
26:35
Speaker 1: because it wouldn't be right. And I've said this many
26:37
Speaker 1: a time. If you look at a sixteen year old
26:40
Speaker 1: young man, put him in tennis and professional tenants, you
26:43
Speaker 1: have a very very difficult time competing against the men.
26:47
Speaker 1: But if you take a sixteen year old young woman
26:49
Speaker 1: put at a professional level and she's a good tennis players,
26:52
Speaker 1: she can compete. That just shows you the different biological
26:55
Speaker 1: different between a man and a woman. That's a big difference.
26:59
Speaker 1: And I think people need to rualize that that have
27:01
Speaker 1: played need to protect women's We need to protect women's sports,
27:04
Speaker 1: need to protect women right, because if you can put
27:07
Speaker 1: a biological man in women's sports, whatever are you're going
27:10
Speaker 1: to start doing. Because they talked about a man can
27:12
Speaker 1: get pregnant, Well, I'm here to tell you they can't. No,
27:15
Speaker 1: they can't. You can't. I said that, said you know
27:19
Speaker 1: something's impossible when no one in Vegas will let you
27:21
Speaker 1: bet on it. Yes, you cannot bet on that in Vegas.
27:24
Speaker 1: Well you just can't. And look, I'll say, when you're
27:27
Speaker 1: dealing with biological men playing women's sports, this is not
27:30
Speaker 1: even an issue. Sometimes people say, well, it's LGBT trands,
27:34
Speaker 1: it's all this. Now, this is a basic question of fairness.
27:36
Speaker 1: And let's be clear. The reason it's unfair is because
27:40
Speaker 1: you got on average men have larger body mass and
27:43
Speaker 1: greater strength. That's not true of every man, that's not
27:45
Speaker 1: true of every woman, but it is. There are significant differences.
27:49
Speaker 1: And by the way, if there's a woman who wants
27:53
Speaker 1: to compete in men's sports, that's fine. If if she's
27:57
Speaker 1: able to do so, and you see that a couple
27:58
Speaker 1: of times. You'll see some some field goal kickers in
28:01
Speaker 1: in uh in football, yes, uh, you know that's fine
28:06
Speaker 1: because it's not unfair, it's not exploiting an advantage. You
28:09
Speaker 1: don't ask a very simple question, why is there a
28:12
Speaker 1: w NBA. I I mean, why have a w NBA?
28:15
Speaker 1: You don't. Look, there's some great players in the w NBA,
28:18
Speaker 1: but if they had to play against Lebron James, they
28:21
Speaker 1: wouldn't stand a chance. And it's a question of fairness.
28:24
Speaker 1: I mean, look, in addition to being a football legend,
28:27
Speaker 1: you were also a track star. You raced against Carl
28:29
Speaker 1: Lewis and b Yes, yes I have. And that's and
28:32
Speaker 1: that's as I said. You look at the times, the
28:35
Speaker 1: times there's so much different, whereas that women Olympic women
28:38
Speaker 1: times are still in there that not even the college
28:41
Speaker 1: men times even better than Olympic women times. That shows
28:44
Speaker 1: a big difference in the biological man and a biological woman.
28:48
Speaker 1: And if you look at if a woman suddenly is
28:51
Speaker 1: able to run and beat them in Great More Power Tour,
28:54
Speaker 1: but it's not fair to say that that if she's
28:58
Speaker 1: the best woman alive at the sports are well tough,
29:01
Speaker 1: you're still gonna have to go against men that have,
29:04
Speaker 1: you know, an additional hundred pounds of body mass and
29:06
Speaker 1: strength and and and try to compete with that. Yes,
29:09
Speaker 1: it's jockey. I want to get to the border issue
29:11
Speaker 1: and center. You need allies on the border issue. Obviously,
29:15
Speaker 1: Georgia not a border of state. You guys still deal
29:17
Speaker 1: with the legal immigration here. You know how much of
29:20
Speaker 1: a disasters. I think it's very clear the policy of
29:22
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is to open have an open border.
29:25
Speaker 1: Nothing's being done down there by accent. This is on purpose,
29:27
Speaker 1: it's deliberate. This is a very important vote that we
29:31
Speaker 1: need in the Senate. Is here. A lot of people
29:34
Speaker 1: don't know that seven percent of drugs come from the
29:38
Speaker 1: border goes through Atlanta, Georgia. And even though Georgia is
29:41
Speaker 1: not a border state, but seven percent of drugs it
29:44
Speaker 1: redistributed out of Atlanta because of the port and because
29:47
Speaker 1: of the airport. So we're not a border state. But
29:50
Speaker 1: the border is so so important to every state, not
29:53
Speaker 1: just to Georgia or border towns, but it important to it.
29:56
Speaker 1: But it's got to do. There's laws on the book.
29:59
Speaker 1: This is a country. And not to be mean, but
30:01
Speaker 1: you don't see anyone during these tough times now trying
30:04
Speaker 1: to cross over into China, trying to cross over to
30:06
Speaker 1: Russia because this is the greatest country in the world,
30:09
Speaker 1: and if we don't have the laws on the books
30:11
Speaker 1: and keep our border secured, we got problems. It's certainly
30:16
Speaker 1: an issue too fetnol and the drugs, especially in the
30:19
Speaker 1: African American community. I was truly shocked when I was
30:23
Speaker 1: watching local news talking about your race and they were
30:27
Speaker 1: acting like there was only one African American man in
30:30
Speaker 1: the race. Does that offend you a little bit that
30:32
Speaker 1: they act like Warnock the guy that's the true minority candidate.
30:36
Speaker 1: They'd seem to overlook it with you, and you know
30:39
Speaker 1: the African American community. You live in the African America,
30:41
Speaker 1: you grew up, You understand the problems, and drugs one
30:46
Speaker 1: of those issues that you talk about here in Georgia. Well,
30:48
Speaker 1: the media is never going to be my friend, and
30:50
Speaker 1: I know that. But like I said, that's what I
30:52
Speaker 1: knew when I got into this race. That's the same
30:54
Speaker 1: as when they're talking about abortion. And that's why I said,
30:57
Speaker 1: if no one has ever seen a debate or one worker,
31:00
Speaker 1: I wish they had conceded Abab because that was a
31:02
Speaker 1: question I asked him, because you know, he's a he's
31:05
Speaker 1: a sitting senator, but he also is a pastor, and
31:07
Speaker 1: he believes in abortion with no no exception. He believes
31:10
Speaker 1: in abortion. He believed that nine months uh, you a
31:13
Speaker 1: woman can abort a baby. He even said, he voted
31:17
Speaker 1: that if you are if if your baby, if your
31:20
Speaker 1: baby have a I gotta get it right right right
31:24
Speaker 1: that he voted also that if your baby survived in abortion,
31:29
Speaker 1: that he would deny that baby medical care. That is
31:32
Speaker 1: very very screen right there. And he is a pastor.
31:35
Speaker 1: But I asked the question to him because I said,
31:38
Speaker 1: you are a pastor. Well is that he said, a
31:41
Speaker 1: doctor and a patient and the government can't be in
31:44
Speaker 1: the same room. But he forgot that that's a baby
31:46
Speaker 1: in that room as also, And he forgot he also
31:48
Speaker 1: trying to bring the government back in the room because
31:50
Speaker 1: he wanted the government to pay for it. But if
31:52
Speaker 1: he believes in what he talks about, because he always
31:55
Speaker 1: talking about separation, you're always talking about the color of
31:58
Speaker 1: your skin in Atlanta, Georgie or the majority of the
32:00
Speaker 1: baby aborted a black, So does he believe in black
32:04
Speaker 1: lives matter? Does he believe in that? So he hasn't
32:07
Speaker 1: stand behind things that he preaches about it. He hasn't
32:09
Speaker 1: stand behind things that he says, but don't just say
32:12
Speaker 1: quotes from the Bible without saying the whole Bible verse.
32:15
Speaker 1: And I think that is the problem. That's the reason
32:17
Speaker 1: I say he's a one trick ponent. But that's the
32:19
Speaker 1: reason I said, people, we have to vote for people
32:22
Speaker 1: that believe in what they're saying. And the reason I
32:24
Speaker 1: got into this race, I believe in the people. We
32:27
Speaker 1: should turn this back over to the people, because the
32:29
Speaker 1: people are the one that should have decided what the
32:31
Speaker 1: Supreme Court did was the correct thing. Turn it back
32:34
Speaker 1: over to the states, put it back into the people's hand,
32:37
Speaker 1: which is the right thing that they did. Well, you know, Herschel.
32:40
Speaker 1: One of the things I admire about you is it
32:44
Speaker 1: is really tough to be a black conservative because the
32:48
Speaker 1: left hates you and hates you with a passion. Is
32:55
Speaker 1: it is a loathing and the media and the Democrats
32:59
Speaker 1: they hate you, and they do that sum to Hispanics.
33:01
Speaker 1: I'm an Hispanic Conservative, and you know, hort Ramus called
33:04
Speaker 1: me on air a traitor to my race. Yes, and
33:07
Speaker 1: and and they but they have a particular loathing for
33:12
Speaker 1: an African American who dares to be a conservative and
33:15
Speaker 1: they go after you in in nasty racial terms. Look,
33:20
Speaker 1: Clarence Thomas has endured this for decades on the Supreme Court,
33:23
Speaker 1: where they despise him. Anton and Scalia was every bit
33:26
Speaker 1: as conservatives as Clarence Thomas, but they never heaped the
33:30
Speaker 1: kind of scorn and abuse because their view is how
33:33
Speaker 1: dare a black man disagree? But I gotta say, look
33:37
Speaker 1: the policies of the Democrats and listen, the Democrats are
33:41
Speaker 1: playing a lot of racial politics here in Georgia. The
33:44
Speaker 1: politics of the Democrats have done enormous damage to the
33:48
Speaker 1: African American community here in Georgia. Whether you're dealing with crime,
33:52
Speaker 1: when these lunatics let murderers go, who do you think
33:56
Speaker 1: the murderers and gang bangers are killing. And they're killing
33:59
Speaker 1: a lot more African Americans and a lot more Hispanics
34:02
Speaker 1: than anybody else. Those are the lives. Somehow, those black
34:05
Speaker 1: lives don't matter to the Democrats. When it comes to education,
34:09
Speaker 1: Raphael Warnock is passionately opposed to school choice. He wants
34:13
Speaker 1: to trap kids in failing schools and give them no hope.
34:17
Speaker 1: And as you know, if you talk to African American parents.
34:21
Speaker 1: Sixty seventy percent of African Americans supports school choice because
34:25
Speaker 1: they want their kids to get an education in the lockdowns.
34:28
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about this because I
34:30
Speaker 1: think there was a lot of I grew up in
34:32
Speaker 1: Memphis in the Sea, and my sister teaches in an
34:35
Speaker 1: inner city school, and she said it was heartbreaking to
34:38
Speaker 1: watch the kids fall behind that were already behind when
34:42
Speaker 1: you had in class teaching, but really fell behind when
34:44
Speaker 1: it went into the virtual learning and it opened up
34:48
Speaker 1: I think so many people's eyes the idea of school choice.
34:51
Speaker 1: This is an issue where Warnock is a guy that
34:53
Speaker 1: says the government is you know, your child is a
34:56
Speaker 1: property of the government. Basically we decide what's best, not
34:59
Speaker 1: the parents. Yeah, but that was an easy reason why
35:03
Speaker 1: he did it because the teacher union is one of
35:05
Speaker 1: his big donors. So the teacher union union is one
35:08
Speaker 1: of his big donors. Whereas you know, the leader of
35:10
Speaker 1: the teacher union make over five hundred thousand dollars. The
35:13
Speaker 1: average salary of a teacher here in Georgia's in the
35:16
Speaker 1: fifth fifth is something thousand, so she making almost nine
35:19
Speaker 1: times as much. But yet he will have a young
35:22
Speaker 1: kid instead of putting the money into this kid. He
35:24
Speaker 1: really go along with the teacher union. So he talks
35:27
Speaker 1: about the education, but he doesn't believe it, and he's
35:29
Speaker 1: a hypocrite. He's a hypocrite and he knows it. And
35:32
Speaker 1: I called him out on that on stage. That's the
35:34
Speaker 1: reason he got upset because if he really believe in
35:37
Speaker 1: school choice, if he believes in charter school he would
35:40
Speaker 1: have said it. But he didn't say it because he
35:41
Speaker 1: didn't want an offend the teacher union because they have
35:44
Speaker 1: no say in charter schools. You were absolutely in favor
35:48
Speaker 1: of those states. Oh I am country, You're a hardcore
35:51
Speaker 1: proponent of them. I am, because every kid deserved the
35:54
Speaker 1: right to an average good education, and that's the way
35:58
Speaker 1: you can get it by putting the money in this
35:59
Speaker 1: student revet in the institution. And also I believe that
36:02
Speaker 1: teachers should make more money, but I think that teacher
36:05
Speaker 1: union shouldn't have a say. And David Raylish at closing
36:09
Speaker 1: down schools that kids didn't get the education they deserved,
36:13
Speaker 1: but yet that was the private schools open. They were
36:16
Speaker 1: okay with that. So Senator Warnock do not practice what
36:19
Speaker 1: he preached well, And every time that Raphael Warnock has
36:22
Speaker 1: voted on school choice, he's voted against it. Every time
36:25
Speaker 1: he's had a vote on school shutdowns, he's voted in
36:28
Speaker 1: favor of school shutdowns. We had a vote that I
36:30
Speaker 1: forced on the Senate floor because the DC public schools
36:33
Speaker 1: announced a policy that they were going to mandate a
36:36
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine mandate to go to school, and if the
36:39
Speaker 1: kids didn't get a COVID vaccine, they were going to
36:41
Speaker 1: throw him out of school. Only sixty percent of the
36:44
Speaker 1: African American students in the DC schools public schools have
36:48
Speaker 1: the COVID vaccine. I forced to vote on the Senate
36:50
Speaker 1: floor and said, guys, we shouldn't be thrown out of
36:53
Speaker 1: school forty percent of the black kids in Washington, DC.
36:57
Speaker 1: And Raphael Warnock happily stood up with every other Democrat
37:01
Speaker 1: and voted, yes, throw forty percent of the black kids
37:03
Speaker 1: out of school. I gotta say that is it is
37:06
Speaker 1: cruel and it's heartless, and you're right it is paid
37:09
Speaker 1: for by cash from the teachers union. Because that's not
37:12
Speaker 1: looking out for the kids. If you vote for throwing
37:15
Speaker 1: a thirteen, fourteen, fifteen year old African American kid out
37:18
Speaker 1: of school, turning him into a school dropout. You know
37:21
Speaker 1: that he's much more likely going to go down the
37:23
Speaker 1: road to drugs, to crime. You're destroying that kid's life,
37:27
Speaker 1: and yet the Democrats are perfectly happen. I'll tell you
37:29
Speaker 1: the teacher union money is going to come into this race. Yes,
37:31
Speaker 1: And I will say this to everybody listening. Please share
37:34
Speaker 1: this podcast so that people get to know herschelmore, they
37:37
Speaker 1: understand what type of person he is and why it's
37:40
Speaker 1: so important to give. Go to Teamherschel dot com and
37:43
Speaker 1: give money because we're up against, as you said, the
37:46
Speaker 1: teachers unions and they and I think this is going
37:49
Speaker 1: to be a nationwide issue. And I will remind concerns
37:52
Speaker 1: because I want to put this so you understand. If
37:54
Speaker 1: you think that George isn't going to affect your life,
37:56
Speaker 1: you're wrong. If you think this election, yep, isn't going
37:59
Speaker 1: to affect your life, you're wrong. And if you went
38:01
Speaker 1: out and vote on Tuesday for conservative candidates, then this
38:03
Speaker 1: is what you need to do next. This is over
38:05
Speaker 1: time and you need to buy a ticket to watch
38:08
Speaker 1: the rest of the game, and that means investing in
38:10
Speaker 1: the race that is going to have a huge impact
38:12
Speaker 1: in this country. Go to Team Hirschel dot com. I
38:15
Speaker 1: want to go to another issue real quick, because I
38:17
Speaker 1: know we got to get to the event, but this
38:19
Speaker 1: is an important one for so many Americans, and that
38:22
Speaker 1: is a second Amendment. You know, I look at Abrahams
38:25
Speaker 1: and I look at at your opponent, and they are
38:28
Speaker 1: one and the same. They want to take away guns,
38:31
Speaker 1: and it's very clear from what they have said they're
38:33
Speaker 1: no different than one another. They want the government to
38:35
Speaker 1: have all the power. They do not, I think, respect
38:39
Speaker 1: the Constitution, and they certainly don't respect the Second Amendment.
38:41
Speaker 1: And I want people to understand where you stand on
38:43
Speaker 1: that issue. Well, I'm flota Second Amendment and anything that's
38:46
Speaker 1: going to try to affect a Second Amendment, I'm gonna
38:48
Speaker 1: be against because we got to continue to have the
38:51
Speaker 1: Second Amendment. And you want to have people that I
38:54
Speaker 1: do not want the government missing with anyone's guns. And
38:56
Speaker 1: I just think that right now, when you have people
38:58
Speaker 1: that want to take away this constitution, that's exactly what
39:01
Speaker 1: they want to do. They want to stack the court,
39:03
Speaker 1: they want to do whatever they can that's going to
39:05
Speaker 1: hurt the fabric of this country. Well, this country has
39:08
Speaker 1: come so far, and yet you have people now that
39:10
Speaker 1: want to take it back and I'm not going to
39:12
Speaker 1: do that. Well, and let me make a final point
39:14
Speaker 1: on this, and you're right, we should wrap up because
39:15
Speaker 1: we had a rally we need to get to. But
39:19
Speaker 1: here's one of the stakes. One of the stakes in
39:20
Speaker 1: this race is control of the Senate. But at this point,
39:24
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going to happen in Nevada. We
39:25
Speaker 1: don't know what happened it's going to happen in Arizona.
39:29
Speaker 1: If it so happens that we don't win those races,
39:31
Speaker 1: and that's a possibility that we don't win those races.
39:34
Speaker 1: If we don't win Georgia either, it means that the
39:38
Speaker 1: Democrats majority grows from fifty to fifty one. What does
39:43
Speaker 1: that mean. Well, in the last two years, the only
39:46
Speaker 1: thing that stopped the Democrats from ending the filibuster was
39:50
Speaker 1: you had two Democratic senators that stood up and said no,
39:53
Speaker 1: Joe Mansion in West Virginia and Kirsten Centam on Arizona.
39:56
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I've served with Mansion for ten years,
40:00
Speaker 1: and prior to the last two years, Mansion had never
40:03
Speaker 1: once stood up to Chuck Schumer on any issue that matter.
40:06
Speaker 1: We just saw him roll over and screw the coal
40:09
Speaker 1: miners in West Virginia and give into the Green New
40:11
Speaker 1: Deal on their disastrous bill they just passed. If the
40:15
Speaker 1: Democrats grow their majority from fifty to fifty one, I
40:20
Speaker 1: think the odds grow eight percent, that they end the filibuster,
40:29
Speaker 1: that they donats, that Cinema can't block it anymore, and
40:32
Speaker 1: that mansion rolls over. And I'll tell you right now,
40:35
Speaker 1: if the Democrats end the filibuster, they will number one.
40:39
Speaker 1: They will pack the United States Supreme Court. They will
40:42
Speaker 1: put four left wing justices immediately on the Supreme Court.
40:46
Speaker 1: And if you care about the Second Amendment, I'll tell
40:48
Speaker 1: you what they will do. They were over rule Heller
40:51
Speaker 1: versus District of Columbia, the landmark decision that held that
40:54
Speaker 1: the Second Amendment as an individual right to keep in
40:57
Speaker 1: bear arms. So quite literally, whether Herschel wins or not
41:02
Speaker 1: couldn't determine whether your Second Amendment right and whatever state
41:05
Speaker 1: you're in exists or is taken away by the Marxists
41:10
Speaker 1: that are leading the Democrat Party. That's what the stakes
41:12
Speaker 1: are in this election. It's important you get involved. Everybody listening,
41:16
Speaker 1: I'll say it again. Please share this podcast, put it
41:19
Speaker 1: up on social media Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and most importantly,
41:23
Speaker 1: if you've never given a campaign before, this is a
41:27

41:35
Speaker 1: are with you, the senator. I'm sure it says the
41:36
Speaker 1: same thing. It's gonna be a tough thirty days here,
41:39
Speaker 1: but I have a gut feeling your whole life has
41:41
Speaker 1: prepared you for this moment. It has and I and
41:44
Speaker 1: you say you're proud of me, but you don't have
41:46
Speaker 1: to be. This is something I should be doing. Whether
41:48
Speaker 1: the Lord has blessed me so much, I have to
41:50
Speaker 1: give back. And I watched men and women in service
41:53
Speaker 1: that they went out and they've sacrificed so much. I
41:56
Speaker 1: watched all men and women in Blue Wood, and morale
41:58
Speaker 1: is down, recruitment is down. They continue to fight on.
42:01
Speaker 1: And this is just a small thing that you can
42:03
Speaker 1: ask from me. It's just to go out and win
42:06
Speaker 1: this seat from radical marks as a senator. One up,
42:10
