CONSUMER PRICING SKY-ROCKING & the media is covering it up, AS WE PAY BILLIONS TO TO ILLEGALS! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There is something happening in this country that is being
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: underreported because everybody is so focused on what's going on
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: with this trial in Minneapolis, a trial where Maxine Waters
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: is telling people to ratchet things up and advocating for
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: more violence, more burning down of cities, more anarchy, more
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: attacks on our National Guard troops, more people to die.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: There's another story that's happening that is extremely important that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: no one seems to be talking about. And we're going
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: to focus on this for a minute because I do
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: believe it's incredibly important. It deals with our economy and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants. Now, this is coming from foreign newspapers that
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: are now reporting what I'm about to tell you. Illegal immigrants,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: we're now being told could get as much as forty
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: million and stimulus checks as New Jersey's Governor Murphy pushes
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: for one time COVID payments to illegal immigrants. That's right,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants living in New Jersey could get forty million
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and stimulus checks. Is the governor or there? Murphy is
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: pushing for these one time relief payments to illegals. He
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: is considering and pushing giving out these one time stimulus
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: cash to people living in the United States illegally using
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Care Act funding after being pressured by illegal immigrant advocates.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Five insiders have now confirmed to Politico about his plan
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: to do this, but Murphy's spokesman said the office has
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: quote nothing to add at this time. Immigration advocates are
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: pressuring the governor and other governors across the country, including
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: in California, Colorado, New Jersey, New York, for more funds
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and six hundred unemployment type benefits for illegal immigrants. Politico
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: reported that one of them said, quote, people are going
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to hear forty million and think that's a lot of money.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: But when you consider the amount of tax money this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: population is putting into the system and is not getting
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: anything back, it's peanuts. Well, if you're in this country
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: breaking our laws and you're paying into our system, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: you're stealing someone's identity, for example, with their social Security number,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: and then you're paying taxes and you're not supposed to
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: be here, you don't get your money back. It's not
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: like you're a actual you're committing a crime. You're committing
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: identity theft. By the way, now New Jersey's leaders believe
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: this is a great idea to give immigrants emergency funds
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: during their COVID crisis. New York State also has announced
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: say well award a one time, one excuse me, fifteen thousand,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: six hundred dollars stimulus payment to illegal workers, which has
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: enraged many Americans who lost their jobs in New York
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: during the pandemic. They don't care. I want you to
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: think about that amount of money. Fifteen thousand, six hundred
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: dollars stimulus payment to illegal workers in New York State.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Governor Cuomo and New York lawmakers reached the deal this
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: week as part of a two hundred and twelve billion
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: dollars state budget, but the excluded workers' decision has been
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: criticized by many liberals who are saying, why didn't we
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: get our money first? The two point two billion dollars
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with a B program for quote excluded workers, which is
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: a new way of saying illegal immigrants. They say, we'll
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: provide payments for hundreds of thousands of people who are
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: not eligible for other government aid. Illegal immigrants were excluded
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: from the third round of simulus checks because recipients have
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: to have a viable SO security number in New York.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Quoma's decision resulted in a significant backlash online. One family
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: member saying, quote, my family has been here since sixteen twenties,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and I get thirty two hundred. Absolute joke. Country can't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: wait for America to just become a dictatorship so we
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: don't have to put up with this anymore. We're another
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: person on Twitter, they're right by the way. When you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: give this much money to illegal immigrant sixteen thousand and change,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you gotta wonder whose team they're really on another road, Sorry,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: this is just wrong. Both my parents work sixteen hours
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: shifts as nurses at the high of the pandemic, often
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the point of near collapse. They buried friends and colleagues
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: who work just as hard that two billion dollars should
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: be going to them, or stores that had to close.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Another said, I'm not a New Yorker, so maybe this
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: is cool with them, but I'd much rather my state
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: give life changing money to two legal citizens rather than
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars to an undocumented immigrant. Also knows a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: legal immigrant seven thousand, five hundred apiece to two legal
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: citizens is a lot of money. What they you know,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: what are they thinking in New York? Not everyone's angry
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: about this news, right. The progressive socialist communist left they
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: love this idea. They're taking money away from American citizens
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and they're giving it to people they want to give citizenship. Two,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: they know if they give them citizenship where they give
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: them this money, that they and all their friends that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: can vote will vote for them. Is this out of touch?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I would argue, yeah, but maybe not in the socialist
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: communist party of the Democrat Party. And we need to
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: stop again. I've said this before on this show. We
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: need to stop calling Democrats democrats, need to call them,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: stop calling them liberal. We need to call them what
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: they actually are. Bill Clinton was a liberal. These people
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: are socialists and communists. When you start giving more money
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to people that broke into this country and are here
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: illegally than the American citizens that live here, you know
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you're not actually fighting for America. But Democrats say things
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: like this. The question is not do you help these workers?
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: It is how do you do it? And how do
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you structure it in a way where it is defensible
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in these districts. That's what a democratic political consultants said.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: They also said, look, undocumented workers aka legal immigrants, were
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: hit hard during the coronavirus pandemic as thousands lost jobs
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: with no hope of unemployment payments or stimulus checks. Well,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: then maybe you should go to the country you came
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: from now. Last year, California committed giving one hundred and
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: twenty five million in five hundred dollars one time payments
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to illegal immigrants, a figure which included seventy five million
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: from taxpayers. While chair He's pledged to raise another fifty million,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: they didn't. Just so you know, now, I'll tell you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: that to talk about the economy and where we are,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: because there's another problem happening right now that no one
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in the media is talking about. US. Consumer prices jumped
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: by the most in nearly nine years, as gas and
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: food costs continue to rise. If you think your grocery
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: bills and your gas bill is more expensive, it is.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: The US Beer of Labor Statistics release a consumer Price
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Index for March, which surged zero point six percent from
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: February alone. The CPI jump two point six compared to
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: the same period a year ago. That is the largest
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: monthly increase monthly gain since August of twenty twelve. Last
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: February saw a one point seven percent increase, Fueling the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: rising costs and the mounting costs of gasoline gas prices
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: of spike nine point one percent in March alone, while
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: count which counted for nearly half of the seasonally adjusted
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: increase in the All Times Index. Natural Gas index rose
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: by five percent in March. Overall energy prices have increased
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: thirteen point two percent in the last twelve months, the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: majority of that actually happening under the Biden administration. Gas
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: has risen sharply, up twenty two percent. Food prices have
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: edged up now up three and a half percent since
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: last year. The cost of food consumed at and away
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: from home has also gone up. Why is the media
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: not talking about this? Because it's bad news for Democrats, right,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So let's just overlook it. Kroger is another example of
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the economic problems that we're having in this country that
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: no one's reporting on, right, because we're all focused on
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: anarchy in Minneapolis. In the future, riots that may happen.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: So Kroger has a side to start shutting down stores
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: because they are now refusing to fall under the yoke
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: of communism in California. Again, another story about our economy
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and what's happening in this country that the media is
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not telling you about. Kroger just closed two stores in
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: a California city that required hero pay for their employees.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: What has happened is is the socialist communist union workers
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: have demanded hazard pay for people that work in the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: grocery store industry. They've been trying to figure out a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: way to get the unions dues members like paying dues
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: members back up, after all the manufacturing jobs have disappeared
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: over the last twenty five years. And the way they
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: did it was they said, all right, we'll do it
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: through people that work at grocery stores and walmarts and
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: places and target right, and we'll do it at fast
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: food restaurants with this fight for fifteen livable wage crap.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: So now they saw an opportunity with COVID and they said, well,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you've got to pay us hazard pay. That's what we deserve, right,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: We're going to work. Well, everybody else has been going
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: to work too. They're not getting a hazard pay and
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: no offense to people working at the grocery stores. But
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to mandate a government massive pay increase is not the
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: job of the government. If you can't find people to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: stock the shelves, and it starts to affect your bottom
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: line at Kroger or any other grocery store. They're going
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to start offering more money to get employees in there
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: at Walmart and other places. So if you think that
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: it's not worth you going to work over what they're
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: paying you, then you can say I need a raise,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to quit, and they'll probably find somebody to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: replace you. Now. Grocery store chain Kroger said it closed
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: down to California stores Saturday after the Long Beach City
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Council approved a COVID nineteen Hero pay ordinance that increases
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: wages by a minimum of four dollars an hour. Now,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: let's just do simple basic math of what this looks
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: like for an employer. If you are an employer and
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you have somebody that's working, you just have been mandated
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: by the government one hundred and sixty dollars a week
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: pay increase. Yet times at times fifty two weeks, that's
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: an eight thousand, three hundred and twenty dollars pay increase.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of businesses that cannot absorb, especially now
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: with what's happened with COVID, a mandated pay increase of
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: eight thousand, three hundred and twenty dollars a year on
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: every single employee that walks through the door. Some of
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: these employees, by the way, may have already received increases
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: in pay, Kroger said, due to COVID nineteen. But now
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you're mandating that we actually give you four dollars more
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: on top of that. Now, the pay increase was for
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: workers who were employed at pharmacies and retail stores with
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: three hundred and more employees in the south southern California city,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: which they say, so therefore it means you can afford it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: You're big enough, you can afford it. The move that
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: was announced earlier this year, Rolphs and Food for Less,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: both operated by Kroger, couldn't handle the pay increase. They
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: shut it down April the seventeenth as a result of
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the city of Long Beat's decision to pass an ordinance
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: mandating extra pay for grocery workers. We have made the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: difficult decision to permanently close long struggling store is located
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: in Long Beach, said a spokesperson for Kroger. Now, you
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: may not even have heard about this, because Kroger actually
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: said this several weeks ago, and somebody emailed this to me.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I didn't even know this happened because no one covered it. Now.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Food for Less, just so you know, is usually a
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: grocery store, which is again owned by Kroger. That is,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: in many areas that are lower income that despolinately need
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a grocery store. This brand that you just heard, Rolphs
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: and Food for Less predominantly operate the Food for Less
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: from what I've been told, in areas that easily could
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: become food deserts. This misguided action, Kroger said by the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Long Beach City Council oversteps the traditional bargaining process and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: applies to some, but not all, grocery workers in the city.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Last month, Kroger also announcing it would close down three stores,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: two Routes and one Food for lesson nearby Los Angeles,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: which also passed its own five dollars per hour hero
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: pay boost to workers amid the pandemic. Now, that's over
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: ten grand a year. If you're doing math, ten grand
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: increase now. Robert Gonzalez, who helped lead the way he
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: was a Kroger employee for twenty six years, addressed a
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: crowd of supermarket workers gathered in front of a Food
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: for Last supermarket, Long Beach, California, February of the third,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: demanding these grocery workers speaking out for hazard pay, staffing
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and safety. All right, well, congratulations, you're out of a
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: job now, dude, well done. Kroger said, Look, these were
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: underperforming stores, while maintaining that the extra costs of temporary
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: has are paid made it impossible to operate. The hero
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: pay mandate in Los Angeles will add because they have
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: so many employees and additional twenty million in operating costs
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: over the next one hundred and twenty days. You do
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the math on that. That's the next or sixty million
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a year. So the government came in and said, we're
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: going to force you to pay people more money because
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in the name of COVID and're and you have no
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: other option. You cannot appeal this. This is the rule
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: of this the law of the land. And then this happened,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: sixty million in mandates in one city on a couple
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: of grocery stores. Kroeger said, look, this is making it
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: financially unsustainable and continue operating the three underperforming locations despite
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: our efforts to overcome the challenges we were already facing
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: at those locations. The extra pay mandate makes it impossible
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: to run a financially sustainable business. That ensures our ability
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to get didn't you serving the Los Angeles community at
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: those three locations with reliable access to affordable fresh groceries
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and other essentials? Kroger said, Now again, why is the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: media not reporting this story? How did you not know
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: about this more than likely until I just told you
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: about it. It's because the media doesn't want to tell
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: you what happens after the socialists and after the communists
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: get their way and vote for something that is impossible
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to actually follow through with without there being a massive
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: repercussions for their actions. Kroger added, we are proud of
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: our role as a leading employer in Los Angeles and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: remain committed to our dedicate associates on the front line
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: serving in our other sixty five locations. Now the areas
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: he's I want to make it clear, these stores that
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: were shut down were shut down in high minority, high
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: poverty areas of California. This was not like some rich
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: suburb grocery store that shut down. These were in high poverty,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: high crime, high unemployment, high minority areas that desperately needed.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to quote Kroger here because they're absolutely
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: right as they put it, locations with reliable access to
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: affordable fresh groceries and other essentials. That's all they're trying
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: to do. So you now have food deserts because of
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: the actions of these morons. Hero pay has also been
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: passed in several other Southern California cittings, including Coachella, Montebello,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and Irvine. Guess what's happening there, businesses are closing. Last
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: week these other two our last week to Los Angeles
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: City Council members introduce a motion to quote investigate Kroger. Yeah,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: retaliating against Kroger for closing down their stores. Los Angeles
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: City Council members now introduced a motion to investigate, in
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: other words, put Kroger under investigation for their decision to
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: close several stores, several of its stores in the city. Quote.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: The city has an interest in considering whether it should
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: take legislative action to address these closures and potentially for
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: future closures of other grocery stores, especially in the areas
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: of the city that are commonly known as food deserts.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: So now we're going to attack Kroger even more. We're
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: not going to listen to the economics of this. We're
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: going to attack Kroger even more, We're gonna go after
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Kroger like you've never seen us go after Kroger before,
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: because we can so Keep looking at what they're doing
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: up in Minneapolis. Keep looking at the trial there right
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Keep looking at what Maxie Waters is saying. You know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: maybe there's a reason why she was flying from California
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: out to Minneapolis. Maybe shouldn't want people talking about what
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: they just did to their communities there. But if you
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: want to know what's happening right now in this country,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: whether it's US giving billions of dollars to illegal immigrants
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: all over the country, whether it's in inflation right now,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: consumer prices jumping the most in nearly nine years, gas
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: prices jumping ten percent in a month, food costs on
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: the rise, and grocery stores being forced to close because
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: you're forcing hazard pay in these liberal communist cities. Yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: these are not headlines left who's in charge to want
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: you to know about? Now? I want to switch gears
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: for a moment too. Obviously, the big story, and that
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: is this story that is dealing with Maxine Waters and
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: is there going to be any accountability for her actions?
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: For an essence calling for rioting and looting, and after
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: she made her comments in Minneapolis the other night, you
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: actually had National Guards members that were attacked joining me
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: now to talk about this is US Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: I want to play for you real quick this audio
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: what the judge has said in this trial about Maxine
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: Waters comments now may be rounds for appeal and may
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: even overturn the whatever the ruling is by this court,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: by this jury. Take a list in this and I
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: want to get your reaction on what Congress should do
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: with Maxi Waters. Congresswoman Waters may have given you something
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: A congresswoman's opinion really doesn't matter a whole lot. I
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: wish elected officials would stop talking about this case, especially
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: in a manner that is disrespectful to the rule of law.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Disrespectful the rule of law. Her words in the streets
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: after she requested police protection when she decided to fly
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to Minneapolis, Minnesota, she said, quote, We've got to stay
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: on the streets. We've got to get more active, we've
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: got to get more confrontational. We've got to make sure
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: they know what we mean. We mean business your reaction
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: to a United States congresswoman saying this, and when she says,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you know, we need to you know, we need to
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: show them we mean business. If you look at on
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: the ground what they've dealt with you. Two hours later,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: you had National guardsmen that were targeted in a shooting.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: You've had the city being torched and burned, businesses being attacked,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: minority businesses being attacked, police being attacked. What could possibly
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: mean more than what's already happened. And she said, we
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: got to go to another step, and you know, bend
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: to hear her remarks and the manner right there in
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: the middle of the crowd, encouraging the crowd to be
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: more confrontational. As you mentioned, she had requested police protection
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: throughout this, which is amazing. So to go to Minneapolis
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: to call for more confrontation in the streets, she had
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the police protect her, travel with her and protect her.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: And I think this just shows such a lack of
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: respect for those that are in law enforcement and also
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: for the rule of law. I do know that the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: House is working on a censure resolution because this is
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: not the first time that she has called for violence
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: to be carried out against individuals or the confrontation against
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: police against these business owners, and as you mentioned, the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: National Guard that were attacked just a couple of hours
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: after her speech. Not only that, but you know, Maxie
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Waters is one that said that, you know, you need
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to surround Trump officials, you need to make them feel uncomfortable,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: you need to get in their face, you need to
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: not let them be able to shop, pump gas or
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: or even basically do anything in society. When you when
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: you know that this is her history of doing this
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and she clearly came in for a reason to to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: make things worse, how is that not inciting violence, the
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: same thing they try to impeach Donald Trump for. And
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: when we look at the way she has carried that
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: out with trying to push for violence against individuals that
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: have a difference of opinion, and how unfortunate that is.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: And of course in Judiciary Committee today we have the
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: hearing on the hearing is called Jim Crow twenty twenty one,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and it is a platform for Stacy Abrams and the
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Georgia Democrats to try to say that voter identification is racist.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: To ask someone to identify themselves properly is a racist action.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And of course this is something that is of concern
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to us. You have to have and show a voter
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: ID if you go to our show an ID. And
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: so people understand, Senator, what federalizing all these elections actually mean.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: Federalizing elections mean. They say, well, we're gonna have uniformity nationwide.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: That's how they describe it. It's not close to reality.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Reality is they want to change and alter the laws.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: They want to make sure that you as you just describe, Senator,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: they want to they want to make sure that you
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: can you can same day registered to vote, the day
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you vote on election day. There's no way to check
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: at that point and see if you're any good, right,
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: there's no way to see if you are who you
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: say you are in that scenario. And when you try
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: to take over elections this way, right, when you try
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: to take over and you try to take over the
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: entire election laws in this country and you try to
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: make them uniforms, they say, which is taking away states rights?
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Which is taking away protections. We've what we've discussed, what
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: we've discussed in Tennessee, and I want to pick it
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: up back there with you, Senator, is we have in
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Tennessee have tried to protect the integrity of the vote,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: and we've tried to make sure that the government doesn't
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: take over and take away states rights, but also make
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: it where they have the best ability to manipulate the system,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: which is what they're advocating for with this overhaul of
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: the election system. And Tennessee did the right thing. I
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: want you to pick it up there. Yes, And Tennessee
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: has put a lot of work into working with our counties.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: So the counties are constantly updating their voter roles for
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: people that have moved or are deceased. They're making certain
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: that those are accurate on the front end. And what
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the Democrats are seeking to do is federalize the process,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: disallow states are local governments from updating their voter rolls,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: and mandate that a state has to put all of
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: their databases, like their college students, people that hold business
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: licenses in the state, all of those would be put
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: into the voter database. So ben you have people then
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that would be registered to vote in several states because
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: maybe they have business and a business license in two
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: or three different states, or maybe like some of our pharmacists,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: they are licensed and maybe eight or nine different states,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: and so all of that information would be in that
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: state's role. Let's say a child from Arkansas comes over
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: to go to school a University of Memphis. Then that
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: individual would be listed in the Tennessee database as well
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: as the Arkansas database. So you see how what they're
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: doing is bell. Let me be clear about this. Does
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that mean that it Let's say hypothetically that scenario. You
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: just describe what happened, right, You're in the database in Tennessee,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: you're in the database and Arkansas because you come to
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: school at the University of Memphis or University of Knoxville
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: or wherever it may be, MTSU, etc. To be clear,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: does that mean that I could then register to vote
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: twice and quite possibly vote in my home state and
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: also in the state that I'm visiting where I'm going
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: to school. Then you don't even have to register. You
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: would be automatically registered because those the databases would be
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: would be funnel into the voter registration database. See, that
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: would be a mandate to the states to include all
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: of that information into that voter registration database. This makes
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: it easier for the Democrats for the mail out ballots.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: And you saw some of this take place. Look at
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: what happened in Pennsylvania and Michigan, Enjoy Georgia, in Nevada
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: where they just mailed everybody a ballot. And I think
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons that so many people are upset
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: about this, and thank goodness they are, is they saw
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: on social media pictures of people holding up three or
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: four different ballots, five ballots. They heard Instagram story somebody saying, hey,
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the person died eleven years ago and I now live
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: in this house, and look they got a ballot. They
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: saw and heard these things, and now they're demanding that
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: we clean it up. But what the Democrats are seeking
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to do is to take what they did in Georgia
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: and force every single state in this country to run
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: their elections in this manner. It's incredible. I want to
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: get to another important piece of legislation before we run
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: out of time, and that is with some new legislation
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: and that you are focused on, and I think this
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: is so important that deals with protections for the unborn.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about this Women's Right to No Act to
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: protect the health of pregnant women and unborn children by
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: providing adequate medical information for informed consent before abortions. That
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: is right. And the way we came about this legislation
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: is the work that we had done as I led
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: that select committee that looked into this selling of fetal
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: body parts and the way they were exercising consent. So
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: we think that a woman who is going to go
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: for an abortion I should have the right to have
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: an ultrasound. She should have the right to know exactly
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: what is going to transpire when she goes through that process.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: If this is an entity that harvests these body parts
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: and then sells them, she should have the right to
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: know that. Is this going to be attacked? And I'm
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: assuming this legislation is by the left, and what is
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: the reason? Right they're going to say this is bad legislation.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: We know that it's consistent with what they always do.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: But are what are their arguments for why they think
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: this is bad to give a woman more information? They
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: feel like that this is something that slows the process
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: of a woman getting an abortion. But ben bear in
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: mind you have a crowd. They're not really what you
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: would call pro choice. They are pro abortion, and they
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: are for abortion on demand right at that moment when
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: you want to get that abortion. They are not for
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: additional information and or informed consent. They are if you
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: want it, go get it. And that's it unbelievable. What
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: can most importantly on this legislation? What is it that
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: people can do that support this? How can they get
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: behind it? One of the things that they can do
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: is to reach out to their elected representatives and make
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: certain that they are aware that they support the women's
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: right to know. And we have people who are pro
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: choice and people that are pro life that are in
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: support of this, and women do have the right to
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: know this. Don't keep them in the dark, give them
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: the information. And so it is helpful to us when
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: people reach out to their elected representatives and express their
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: support for the bill. Senator I appreciate you coming on
• 29:55
