0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome. It is a verdict with Senator Ted Kruz Ben
0:04
Speaker 1: Ferguson with you. This is also a joint show because
0:07
Speaker 1: we're doing the convention coverage. So many of you listening
0:10
Speaker 1: to my podcasts have been Ferguson podcast. You're going to
0:12
Speaker 1: get both of us in this episode, which is always
0:16
Speaker 1: kind of fun. We get to do these. Senator Day
0:19
Speaker 1: two Democratic Convention. It has been brutal towards Joe Biden,
0:24
Speaker 1: to say the least, and they have moved on and
0:26
Speaker 1: kicked that guy to the curb.
0:30
Speaker 2: Joe who who? Right? This is day.
0:35
Speaker 3: Two, President right, so random, this is day two of
0:39
Speaker 3: the Democrat convention. We have seen angry protesters, viciously anti Semitic,
0:48
Speaker 3: israel hating pro Hamas, Marxist, anti American, violent protesters. And
0:56
Speaker 3: that's just inside the arena of the actual delegates, never
1:00
Speaker 3: mind the people being arrested outside. This has been day
1:05
Speaker 3: two of the propaganda effort from the Democrat Party to
1:11
Speaker 3: erase Joe Biden, to kick him to the curb. Joe who,
1:15
Speaker 3: As I said a minute ago, that is the message
1:17
Speaker 3: of this convention. This is day two of the canonization
1:22
Speaker 3: of Kamala Harris trying to turn her into something she
1:25
Speaker 3: is not. And this is day two of the extreme
1:31
Speaker 3: policies that define the Democrat Party.
1:34
Speaker 2: We're going to break all of that down on today's pod.
1:37
Speaker 1: All right, I want to just take a quick second,
1:40
Speaker 1: and I want to tell you about an incredible company
1:42
Speaker 1: that I've been telling you about for years. It is
1:45
Speaker 1: a company called Patriot Mobile. Look, many Americans like me,
1:49
Speaker 1: we're tired. We're frustrated by installing economy, inflation, endless wars,
1:54
Speaker 1: and the relentless assault on our values, our family values. Thankfully,
1:58
Speaker 1: now there are companies like Patriot Mobile that still believe
2:02
Speaker 1: in America. We still believe in our constitution, they still
2:05
Speaker 1: believe in conservatism. And that's why I'm proud to partner
2:09
Speaker 1: with Patriot Mobile. Because they're on the front lines fighting
2:14
Speaker 1: for the First and Second Amendments that we stand behind.
2:18
Speaker 1: They're fighting for the sanctity of life, and they're fighting
2:21
Speaker 1: for our military and our first responder heroes. I want
2:25
Speaker 1: you to take a stand with your dollars. I want
2:27
Speaker 1: you to take a stand for conservative causes and put
2:30
Speaker 1: America first. By switching to Patriot Mobile today, you're gonna
2:35
Speaker 1: get the same nationwide coverage as the big providers well,
2:39
Speaker 1: because Patriot Mobile operates across all three major networks those
2:43
Speaker 1: towers are using right now. Plus they back their service
2:46
Speaker 1: with a coverage guarantee. They're one hundred percent US based.
2:50
Speaker 1: Customer service team will find the best plan for your needs.

Speaker 1: can't Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson, that's Patriot Mobile dot
3:35

3:41
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile today nine seven to two Patriot and get
3:45
Speaker 1: free month of service with the promo code Ferguson Center.
3:49
Speaker 1: Let's start with the end of day one, which really
3:53
Speaker 1: was part of day two. If you looked at your
3:55
Speaker 1: watch and you're in the Eastern time zone. They threw
3:58
Speaker 1: Joe Biden, I mean, to the curb and made sure
4:02
Speaker 1: they buried him. It was like watching him do his
4:07
Speaker 1: own eulogy. They wanted him late at night. They didn't
4:10
Speaker 1: want the American people to see it. They wanted to
4:12
Speaker 1: move on past him, and they threw him at eleven
4:15
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern time, a little after eleven. He went after
4:18
Speaker 1: midnight Eastern time. And this is the sitting president of
4:22
Speaker 1: the United States of America. I said this earlier. If
4:25
Speaker 1: they'll do this to Joe Biden, you really think the
4:28
Speaker 1: Democratic Party or Kamala Harris gives a crap about you,
4:32
Speaker 1: your family, your struggles, what you're making, inflation, interest rates,
4:36
Speaker 1: or anything else. They don't care about you. They don't
4:39
Speaker 1: even care about the sitting president.
4:42
Speaker 3: So the Democrat Party allowed Joe Biden to take the
4:44
Speaker 3: stage at eleven thirty seven pm Eastern Time. He finished,
4:49
Speaker 3: as you noted, after midnight. The vast majority of viewers
4:55
Speaker 3: had already turned off the TV. The vast majority of
4:58
Speaker 3: viewers may well have gone to bed. That was not
5:01
Speaker 3: an accident, that was by design. So understand, the Democrat
5:05
Speaker 3: Party is engaged in a massive gas lighting effort. It
5:12
Speaker 3: is a gas lighting effort that is driven by the media.
5:15
Speaker 3: They are trying to erase the fact that Joe Biden
5:19
Speaker 3: is the sitting president of the United States right now today.
5:23
Speaker 3: He may not know it, but he is right now today.
5:26
Speaker 3: If God forbid, one of our enemies launches an attack
5:29
Speaker 3: on the United States, Joe Biden is still technically the
5:32
Speaker 3: commander in chief. Now, every Democrat in that convention knows
5:36
Speaker 3: Joe Biden is not mentally competent to make decisions about
5:40
Speaker 3: protecting this nation. He's certainly not mentally competent to make
5:43
Speaker 3: decisions about sending our sons and daughters into harms way.
5:46
Speaker 3: He's barely mentally competent to operate the TV remote control.
5:51
Speaker 2: They all know that.
5:52
Speaker 3: They also know that if Joe Biden were still the nominee,
5:55
Speaker 3: they would be losing. So they unceremoniously, like Joe Peshi
6:01
Speaker 3: and Goodfellows, they invited him to the bar to be
6:03
Speaker 3: a made man. And he walks into the bar and
6:06
Speaker 3: the bar is empty, and his sentiment is oh no, man,
6:09
Speaker 3: oh no, oh no. And then you have Robert de
6:11
Speaker 3: Niro banging the phone, the payphone in into the receiver,
6:15
Speaker 3: so upset that Joe Biden Peshi is gone.
6:20
Speaker 2: That's what we saw. Now.
6:22
Speaker 3: They did have some moments of poignancy, as we predicted
6:25
Speaker 3: in Monday's pod, they had some moments of oh, Biden
6:29
Speaker 3: is a great patriot. He put his country in front
6:32
Speaker 3: of himself. To be clear, Biden stepped down, I believe
6:36
Speaker 3: not because he suddenly had this epiphandy that Kamala was
6:41
Speaker 3: the right nominee.
6:42
Speaker 2: I think.
6:45
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Barack Obama all teamed
6:51
Speaker 3: up together to give him an ultimatum, Joe, you either
6:55
Speaker 3: step down or we will invoke the twenty fifth Amendment
6:58
Speaker 3: and throw you out of office. I don't think there
7:01
Speaker 3: was any They tried persuasion, They tried it for a
7:03
Speaker 3: couple of months. It didn't work, he didn't want to
7:05
Speaker 3: do it, and I think they utilized brute force and
7:09
Speaker 3: forced him out of office. And and then I got to
7:13
Speaker 3: say to bury him. After midnight, Joe Biden was literally
7:17
Speaker 3: competing with QVC in the shopping channel with with eighty
7:23
Speaker 3: year olds with blue hair selling fake diamond earrings. That
7:28
Speaker 3: was his competition when he was on air. That says
7:34
Speaker 3: something about the Democrat Party and and and and their
7:37
Speaker 3: interest is simply memory holding him. And part of the reason. Look,
7:42
Speaker 3: the whole pitch for Kamala is things really suck now,
7:47
Speaker 3: but elect Kamala and they'll be better now. A really
7:50
Speaker 3: inconvenient problem with that, it's the Democrats are in power.
7:55
Speaker 3: It's their administration. If things are terrible, well, who's put
8:01
Speaker 3: in place the policies that have made them terrible? And
8:04
Speaker 3: by the way, if Kamala has this magic bag of solutions,
8:09
Speaker 3: she's gonna wave her wand and suddenly grocery prices are
8:12
Speaker 3: gonna plummet. Well, why isn't she waving her wand right now?
8:18
Speaker 3: It is entirely smoking mirrors deception. And that's why they
8:24
Speaker 3: wanted Joe Biden after midnight, because they wanted nobody in
8:29
Speaker 3: America to listen to a word the man had to say.
8:32
Speaker 1: And you move into day two, and it was interesting
8:34
Speaker 1: because no one was talking about him until Barack Obama
8:38
Speaker 1: went up on stage. He did a nice Hey, there's
8:41
Speaker 1: a reason why I picked Joe Biden to be my
8:44
Speaker 1: vice president X number of years ago, and the place
8:47
Speaker 1: started doing their chant we love Joe, And I'm sitting
8:51
Speaker 1: there and I'm laughing because I'm like, dude, you were
8:53
Speaker 1: just a part of the coup. Like Michelle Obama was
8:56
Speaker 1: on right before you. She was a part of the coup.
8:59
Speaker 1: You were in and the godfather families, right, the big
9:02
Speaker 1: five that got together, the Pelo Seeson, the Schumers and
9:06
Speaker 1: the Obamas and the Clintons and the news you know,
9:10
Speaker 1: Jeffreys in the house that said we're done with you.
9:14
Speaker 1: We're gonna force you out. And I'm laughing because he's like,
9:17
Speaker 1: but he goes up there and say, he's like, let
9:19
Speaker 1: me tell you why Joe was so great and why
9:21
Speaker 1: I picked him. Now, let me move immediately on to
9:23
Speaker 1: Kama Harris after we screwed him and we kicked him
9:25
Speaker 1: out of the building last night.
9:28
Speaker 3: And remember it was done entirely for one reason, because
9:32
Speaker 3: they realized he'd lose. Barack Obama was fine having a
9:37
Speaker 3: barely conscious octogenarian as president because he was a perfectly
9:45
Speaker 3: acceptable puppet. I believe Barack Obama has been the one
9:48
Speaker 3: pulling the strings the entire time. He was fine with that.
9:50
Speaker 3: He would have been fine for another four years with
9:53
Speaker 3: with with with with Joe Biden going to Loubi's at
9:57
Speaker 3: four PM for the Jello and being asleep at six
10:00
Speaker 3: that fit his needs until it became clear Biden was
10:06
Speaker 3: going to leave. This is about power, and this is
10:09
Speaker 3: about airbrushing history, about gaslighting the American people to claim
10:15
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris was never the borders are Nope, these are
10:18
Speaker 3: not the droids they're looking for.
10:19
Speaker 2: Nope.
10:20
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris never said she'd banfracking. Never mind the videos
10:23
Speaker 3: that do not believe your lying eyes everything they're saying,
10:28
Speaker 3: no taxes on tips, great idea came from Donald Trump, Nope, Nope,
10:31
Speaker 3: this was always Kamala's idea, despite the fact that they've
10:34
Speaker 3: never seen a tax on planet Earth.
10:36
Speaker 2: They wanted to cut that.
10:37
Speaker 3: Every time Kamala has ever talked about taxes, it's been
10:39
Speaker 3: and raised them, raise them, raise them. This is all
10:42
Speaker 3: about a deliberate effort to erase current reality and replace
10:50
Speaker 3: with a Truman Show, artificial tempkin village.
10:54
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you move into the theme. The theme
10:57
Speaker 1: of the Night Night two is I was sitting there
11:00
Speaker 1: watching this was very clear it's going back to play the.
11:05
Speaker 3: Hits, So hold on, hold on. What was the theme?
11:08
Speaker 3: We hate billionaires and we love billionaires. I want you
11:11
Speaker 3: to play these two segments. I want you to play
11:12
Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders, and then I want you to play the
11:15
Speaker 3: very next speaker, JB. Pritzker, because I want you to
11:17
Speaker 3: listen to these two side by side, because it really
11:20
Speaker 3: is priceless the hypocrisy of today's Democrat Party.
11:24
Speaker 2: Give a listen.
11:25
Speaker 4: We need an economy that works for all of us,
11:29
Speaker 4: not just the billionaire class. My fellow Americans, when sixty
11:41
Speaker 4: percent of our people live paycheck to paycheck, the top
11:46
Speaker 4: one percent have never ever had it so good.
11:53
Speaker 1: Now they are clap center, which was quite funny because
11:56
Speaker 1: literally the next speaker is a billionaire that they invite
12:00
Speaker 1: to come up on the stage.
12:01
Speaker 3: So the very next speaker is the sitting Democrat governor
12:07
Speaker 3: of Illinois, and he's rich. He's not just a little rich,
12:13
Speaker 3: he's a lot rich. He's a lot rich in the
12:16
Speaker 3: classic way that Democrats are a lot rich, which is
12:18
Speaker 3: he didn't make it himself, he inherited it, and now
12:22
Speaker 3: he wants to tax the hell out everyone else and
12:24
Speaker 3: stop everyone else from becoming rich. But have a listen
12:27
Speaker 3: to literally the very next speaker, so Bernie Sanders, if
12:30
Speaker 3: I could summon up in one sentence.
12:33
Speaker 2: Billionaires are bad. Next speaker play it.
12:37
Speaker 1: Thinks that we should trust him on the economy because
12:40
Speaker 1: he claims to be very rich. But take it from
12:44
Speaker 1: an actual billionaire. I mean he's bragged. Take it from
12:52
Speaker 1: an actual building. He's say, Donald trump'snow billionaire, I'm a billionaire.
12:56
Speaker 1: One speaker apart, this is the Democratic Convention. And then
12:59
Speaker 1: you add in this class warfare Michelle Obama.
13:03
Speaker 2: Let me let me make another point about that.
13:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, Bernie says, sixty percent of Americans are living paycheck
13:09
Speaker 3: to paycheck. The top one percent have never had it
13:13
Speaker 3: so good. Help me on this bend. Who's the current president.
13:17
Speaker 1: That would be a guy by the name of Joe Biden.
13:20
Speaker 2: I think who's the current vice president?
13:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kamala Harris. Who's action who's the current majority leader
13:26
Speaker 1: of the Senate? Yeah, that would be a Democrat Schumer.
13:29
Speaker 3: So Bernie is saying, when we the Democrats are in power,
13:35
Speaker 3: the top one percent, the billionaires have never had it
13:40
Speaker 3: so good.
13:41
Speaker 2: And then Pritzker goes, I have a billionaire and the
13:44
Speaker 2: crowd goes nuts.
13:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then Michelle Obama and it was clearly they
13:48
Speaker 1: went for class warfare is the theme of the night.
13:51
Speaker 1: She came out and said her parents were quote suspicious
13:56
Speaker 1: of folks who took more than they needed. Now I
13:59
Speaker 1: have I want to hold.
14:00
Speaker 3: Out that that can't be right, can't I can't believe that?
14:03
Speaker 3: Play the clip because she couldn't have said that. No
14:05
Speaker 3: one can be that unself aware. How is that possible?
14:10
Speaker 3: Let's hear what she said.
14:14
Speaker 5: You see, my mom, in her steady, quiet way, lived
14:21
Speaker 5: out that striving sense of hope every single day of
14:26
Speaker 5: her life. She believed that all children, all all people,
14:31
Speaker 5: have value, that anyone can succeed have given the opportunity.
14:38
Speaker 5: She and my father didn't aspire to be wealthy. In fact,
14:42
Speaker 5: they were suspicious of folks who took more than they needed.
14:47
Speaker 1: I love it because and again, don't I want to
14:50
Speaker 1: be clear, I want my kids to be successful. That
14:52
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they have to be rich to be successful.
14:55
Speaker 1: But I don't fault anyone for being successful. But when
14:58
Speaker 1: you come out and you say it the the way
15:00
Speaker 1: she did, it sounds like communism one on one, And
15:03
Speaker 1: can I just remind everybody. They have at least three
15:05
Speaker 1: houses that we know of. They got a net worth
15:07
Speaker 1: of one hundred and sixty million dollars. I mean, come on.
15:11
Speaker 3: So she says they didn't trust anyone who took more
15:15
Speaker 3: than they needed, and the entire stadium erupted in applause. Look,
15:20
Speaker 3: this is a stadium full of Marxists. But like all Marxists,
15:25
Speaker 3: they're hypocrites. Michelle Obama stood there as you noted she
15:29
Speaker 3: owns three houses. Let me ask you, Ben, how many
15:32
Speaker 3: houses do you own?
15:33
Speaker 1: I've got one. I'm just a commoner like that.
15:36
Speaker 3: So let me ask you also, Ben. They have a
15:40
Speaker 3: multimillion dollar a state in Martha's vineyard. How big is
15:43
Speaker 3: your state in Martha's vineyard?
15:45
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have one of those.
15:47
Speaker 2: They fly private jets everywhere they go. Do you have
15:50
Speaker 2: a private jet?
15:51
Speaker 1: I do not have one. I would love to have one,
15:53
Speaker 1: but I do not have one. I'm still a commoner,
15:56
Speaker 1: So my question, look, I don't fault. And by the way,
16:01
Speaker 1: Michelle Obama and Barack Obama get paid hundreds of thousands
16:04
Speaker 1: of dollars for giving paid speeches. Do you get paid
16:07
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousand dollars to give no speak, and she
16:10
Speaker 1: got seven hundred and fifty grand. It was reported for
16:12
Speaker 1: a one hour speech earlier this year.
16:14
Speaker 3: Apparently, you know, let me just ask, is seven hundred
16:18
Speaker 3: and fifty thousand dollars more than she needed? Because she
16:22
Speaker 3: just said that her mom didn't trust people who took
16:24
Speaker 3: more than she needed. And by the way, you're a
16:30
Speaker 3: published author. Have you gotten paid tens of millions of dollars.
16:33
Speaker 2: For your books?
16:34
Speaker 1: No?
16:34
Speaker 3: No, I did not, Okay, I actually i was trying
16:38
Speaker 3: to make a point about Michelle.
16:39
Speaker 2: I'm just feeling bad about you. Man.
16:40
Speaker 3: Now, Man, I look, you're a capitalist, you're a conservative.
16:44
Speaker 3: I was actually trying to call her a hypocrite. But
16:46
Speaker 3: I'm now just thinking, Ben, you need to work harder.
16:49
Speaker 1: I need to work harder. I need I need to
16:51
Speaker 1: sell this class warfare crap. Right, just just sign up
16:55
Speaker 1: and sell it and just say, hey, I'm a Democrat.
16:57
Speaker 1: Everybody else be poor. I'll get rich off of a
17:01
Speaker 1: party that you can convince apparently of anything, including that
17:04
Speaker 1: you shouldn't take more than your fair share. When you're
17:07
Speaker 1: sitting there, going to which house? Are we going back tonight? Honey? Right?
17:09
Speaker 5: Like?
17:10
Speaker 1: Are we going to DC? Are we going to the vineyard.
17:11
Speaker 1: Are we going to California? We're going to Hawaii? Are
17:14
Speaker 1: we what plan are we going to take tonight?
17:16
Speaker 2: That is listening.
17:17
Speaker 3: To be clear, I don't fault Barack and Michelle Obama
17:21
Speaker 3: for their financial success. What I do fault them for
17:25
Speaker 3: is utter and complete hypocrisy. What I fault them for
17:29
Speaker 3: is pushing the notion that anyone who is successful is
17:35
Speaker 3: wrong and evil unless, unless, unless they bow to the
17:40
Speaker 3: knee of to the leftist Democrat Party. You can be
17:43
Speaker 3: celebrated as a billionaire if you're a communist, if you
17:48
Speaker 3: want to tax people oppressively, control them oppressively, if you
17:54
Speaker 3: support leftist policies, it's okay. If not, they will demonize you.
17:59
Speaker 3: And it's that utter hypocrisy that is just galling.
18:02
Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because you mentioned that, and I
18:04
Speaker 1: wasn't putting on playing this, but I'm going to now.
18:07
Speaker 1: This party has been a party of endless, hateful rhetoric.
18:11
Speaker 1: This is a party that, even on TV over the
18:14
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours, had implied that maybe JD. Van
18:18
Speaker 1: somebody should be raped in their family and have to
18:20
Speaker 1: go through what a rape victim goes through, and have
18:22
Speaker 1: a child and then double down on it, refuse to
18:25
Speaker 1: apologize for that. This is the party that's out there
18:28
Speaker 1: getting arrested and fighting and saying that should be death
18:30
Speaker 1: to Israel, death to Jesus. The party that went after
18:32
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in every capacity could whether it was trying
18:36
Speaker 1: to lock him up, take all his property, frame him
18:40
Speaker 1: for crimes he didn't commit, and then try to coop
18:42
Speaker 1: attempt on him by a document that they knew they
18:45
Speaker 1: paid for in the Steele dossier. But Michelle Obama got
18:48
Speaker 1: up there on stage and she said this again, the
18:52
Speaker 1: same party of endless, hateful rhetoric.
18:55
Speaker 5: Of a brighter day, the chance it's a bank wish
19:00
Speaker 5: the demons of fear, division and hate that have consumed us,
19:05
Speaker 5: and continue pursuing the unfinished promise of this great nation.
19:12
Speaker 1: What world are we living in? Alternative universe where you
19:15
Speaker 1: get to go up on stage and say that while
19:18
Speaker 1: you're the party. She also said, by the way, quote
19:21
Speaker 1: unquote a moment later, we don't get to change the rules,
19:24
Speaker 1: so we always win. I'm sorry, did you guys not
19:27
Speaker 1: just have a coup against a sitting president throwned after
19:29
Speaker 1: midnight and hand somebody because you wanted a chance to
19:33
Speaker 1: quote always win all the delegates that no one voted
19:38
Speaker 1: for her. Did that not just happen in the last
19:40
Speaker 1: four weeks.
19:42
Speaker 3: So understand what happened last night. For the first time
19:46
Speaker 3: in modern history, a major political party has nominated as
19:50
Speaker 3: president a human being for whom not one single person
19:55
Speaker 3: on planet Earth in this year voted for as president.
20:01
Speaker 3: That is unprecedented, and yet there's no acknowledgment of it.
20:05
Speaker 3: And in fact, there is the self righteous preening that
20:10
Speaker 3: they are defending democracy even while making a mockery of democracy.
20:16
Speaker 1: I want to take a moment, and I want to
20:18
Speaker 1: ask for your help. The wor in Israel started on
20:21
Speaker 1: October the seventh. We have seen death and destruction in
20:25
Speaker 1: the Holy Land for more than forty years. The International
20:28
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on the ground
20:31
Speaker 1: in Israel and within hours of the war starting, and
20:34
Speaker 1: every day since, they've been feeding the hungry and protecting
20:37
Speaker 1: the vulnerable. You may not realize, but Israel is literally
20:41
Speaker 1: under attack now on a daily basis, with rockets coming in.
20:46
Speaker 1: Those that are surrounding Israel are doing everything they can
20:50
Speaker 1: to take them out. The attacks continue in the north
20:53
Speaker 1: and the South, but there are resilient survivors who bravely
20:58
Speaker 1: share their stories in a series that Fellowship calls faces
21:01
Speaker 1: of Iron. Survivors like Danny. His beloved daughter and her
21:06
Speaker 1: husband were burned alive on October the seventh, by Hamas Terris.
21:11
Speaker 1: Danny is a commander of the volunteer fire and rescue
21:14
Speaker 1: group in his community. Despite fire equipment nearby, Danny could
21:18
Speaker 1: do nothing as his daughter's house burned and his daughter
21:22
Speaker 1: and her husband lost their lives. Christians like you support
21:26
Speaker 1: Israel through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's
21:30
Speaker 1: his support that helps these survivors remain steadfast and strong.
21:34
Speaker 1: To hear more stories like this one and show your
21:37
Speaker 1: support for Israel. Please stand with me and visit support
21:41
Speaker 1: IFCJ dot org. That's support IFCJ dot org, support IFCJ
21:50
Speaker 1: dot org. Senator, let me also ask you about the
21:55
Speaker 1: fact that the theme is to promote, you know, Harris,
21:59
Speaker 1: and they're doing a pretty good job of that. They're
22:01
Speaker 1: saying her name over and over and over and over again.
22:06
Speaker 1: They're trying to prop her up. However, DC insiders are
22:12
Speaker 1: saying there's quote deep fear inside the Democratic Party that
22:16
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is Walter Mondale two point zero, who lost
22:20
Speaker 1: in a landslide to Reagan after campaigning on tax hikes,
22:23
Speaker 1: which they have now put out there, and they worry
22:26
Speaker 1: that actually Kamala may be worse because you're dealing with
22:31
Speaker 1: tax hikes plus record inflation, plus government price controls communism
22:36
Speaker 1: that she said we need, and not even Mondale campaigned
22:40
Speaker 1: on that. That is still the fear behind the scenes.
22:44
Speaker 1: Just to put it in perspective. By the way, Mondale
22:48
Speaker 1: when he campaigned, inflation was eighteen percent back then in
22:52
Speaker 1: the early nineteen eighties, using the government's previous formula, factoring
22:58
Speaker 1: and rising rates and more, it is likely now higher
23:03
Speaker 1: than it was then when it comes the actual consumer
23:06
Speaker 1: going to the store.
23:07
Speaker 3: So listen, those concerns of Democrats are are well founded.
23:13
Speaker 3: You know, if you look at number one, this election,
23:17
Speaker 3: this election next year, in twenty twenty five, most of
23:21
Speaker 3: the twenty seventeen tax cuts are expiring. Donald Trump has
23:26
Speaker 3: said if he's president, he will extend those tax cuts,
23:29
Speaker 3: and we will need a Republican House and Senate. If
23:32
Speaker 3: we have a Republican House and Senate and Donald Trump
23:34
Speaker 3: and the White House, we will extend the twenty seventeen
23:37
Speaker 3: tax cuts, and I hope and believe will make them
23:39
Speaker 3: even bigger and bolder. That's what I'm arguing for, is
23:42
Speaker 3: not just extend them, but have even bigger and bolder
23:45
Speaker 3: tax cuts that will help working families, help job creators,
23:49
Speaker 3: help turn the economy around. That is multiple trillions of dollars.
23:55
Speaker 3: On the flip side, Kamala Harris has said if she
23:58
Speaker 3: is president, she will allow the tax cuts to expire.
24:03
Speaker 3: That will result in a multiple trillion of dollar, trillions
24:06
Speaker 3: of dollar tax increase. The Wall Street Journal has dubbed
24:10
Speaker 3: this election the six trillion dollar election because that's the
24:15
Speaker 3: delta in taxes, six trillion dollars between Trump cutting taxes
24:20
Speaker 3: and Kamala raising taxes. That is a massive amount. This
24:25
Speaker 3: is also the first time in your in my lifetime,
24:28
Speaker 3: since Walter Mondale that a major party presidential nominee has
24:34
Speaker 3: campaigned on massive tax increases. And Mondale ran in nineteen
24:40
Speaker 3: eighty four. Now, now, I don't know, you may not
24:43
Speaker 3: have been old enough to remember that election.
24:44
Speaker 1: I remember it well, and I was in I was three.
24:48
Speaker 1: I'm gonna age myself down right now and just make
24:51
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit older, sir, and I enjoy
24:53
Speaker 1: this moment.
24:55
Speaker 2: Listen.
24:57
Speaker 3: Reagan had a way of making you feel young and
25:00
Speaker 3: youthful and optimistic, and so you knew at age three
25:03
Speaker 3: it was morning in America.
25:05
Speaker 1: There you go.
25:07
Speaker 3: So in the debate in nineteen eighty four, Walter Mondale,
25:13
Speaker 3: who like Tim Waltz, was from Minnesota, Walter Mondale turned
25:19
Speaker 3: to Reagan and he said, in the debate, he said,
25:22
Speaker 3: both of the candidates on this stage are going to
25:26
Speaker 3: raise your taxes. And he points at Reagan and says,
25:30
Speaker 3: he won't tell you that I just did. Walter Mondale
25:34
Speaker 3: lost forty nine states. The only state he one was
25:39
Speaker 3: his home state of Minnesota, and he almost lost that one.
25:43
Speaker 3: Kamala is now trying to retread that path. Now we're
25:50
Speaker 3: living in a different world, and in nineteen eighty four
25:52
Speaker 3: you actually had a functioning media. You had journalists who
25:55
Speaker 3: reported on facts. We now have a media who are
25:58
Speaker 3: engaged in non stop, relentless propaganda. And what is dangerous
26:04
Speaker 3: about this election. Part of the reason Kamala is enjoying
26:06
Speaker 3: a surge right now, the media intends to spend billions
26:10
Speaker 3: of dollars between now an election day trying to canonize her,
26:14
Speaker 3: trying to lionize her, trying to turn her into Saint Kamala.
26:18
Speaker 3: And and so we'll see if explicitly saying she's going
26:24
Speaker 3: to jack up everyone's taxes, if that hurts her. We'll
26:27
Speaker 3: also see if being the borders are and presiding over
26:31
Speaker 3: the worst illegal immigration in our nation's history, if that
26:33
Speaker 3: hurts her. We'll see if bailing out violent criminals rioting
26:38
Speaker 3: in Minneapolis, if that hurts her. And in my view,
26:42
Speaker 3: and you and I have talked about this on this
26:44
Speaker 3: pod multiple times, if this election is about the issues,
26:47
Speaker 3: we win. Kamala and the Democrats and the media all desperately, desperately,
26:54
Speaker 3: desperately want to make it not about the issues, make
26:57
Speaker 3: it about fuzzy personality, feel good sentiments. And if they
27:02
Speaker 3: do that, they believe they can win.
27:04
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the Democrats, look, yeah, they drop Biden. That's
27:06
Speaker 1: a fact. But make no mistake about it. Kama Harris
27:09
Speaker 1: is why yeah, yeah, yeah, who's that random guy? Some
27:13
Speaker 1: guy that they is playing president of the United States
27:15
Speaker 1: of America.
27:16
Speaker 3: I saw an old guy kind of yelling at the TV.
27:19
Speaker 3: Who was he? That's actually did Joe? I actually didn't drug?
27:25
Speaker 3: I didn't because I'd gone to sleep by then. But
27:27
Speaker 3: but but I'm told there was someone.
27:30
Speaker 1: All right, let's geek out for a second on policy,
27:32
Speaker 1: because this is when I love doing this show, and
27:35
Speaker 1: I love comparing the history of what was happening, and
27:41
Speaker 1: go back to Mondale. Mondale was an old school democrat, right,
27:47
Speaker 1: it was the old school tax spend and regulate democrat.
27:51
Speaker 1: That that was what he was. That was the lane
27:55
Speaker 1: you look g at Harrison Wallace. Now they're just to
27:58
Speaker 1: eliminate all that when it comes to market driven economy.
28:02
Speaker 1: We don't believe in that, right, we replace that with
28:06
Speaker 1: an authoritarian socialist state with new programs and crazy ideas
28:13
Speaker 1: like DEI, where we pick our best people in jobs
28:16
Speaker 1: by the color of their skin, not by their qualifications.
28:19
Speaker 1: We put in price controls. And if you don't believe
28:21
Speaker 1: this is what Harris believes, let me remind you of
28:24
Speaker 1: what Harris said back in twenty twenty.
28:29
Speaker 2: I will snatch their patent so that we will take over.
28:34
Speaker 2: And yes we can do that, Yes, yes we can
28:38
Speaker 2: do that. Yes we can do that. It's the question
28:42
Speaker 2: is do you have the will to do it. I
28:44
Speaker 2: have the.
28:45
Speaker 5: Will to do it.
28:47
Speaker 1: I mean she was talking there about ideas in a
28:49
Speaker 1: patent that was in Iowa, and it was played a
28:52
Speaker 1: little bit back then. But it's a reminder she doesn't
28:55
Speaker 1: believe that anything that anyone creates and or does is theirs.
28:59
Speaker 1: I can snatch up any idea I want to. I
29:01
Speaker 1: can stands up any business I want to. I can
29:04
Speaker 1: stand up any any industry that I want to. This
29:07
Speaker 1: is what they are now. This is not what Mondale
29:10
Speaker 1: was and the old school Democrat of hey, you know,
29:12
Speaker 1: high taxes, spend a lot of money and regulate.
29:15
Speaker 3: This is completely different. So Bernie Sanders is openly a socialist.
29:21
Speaker 3: He's not actually a member of the Democrat Party. He
29:23
Speaker 3: runs as a socialist in Vermont. Elizabeth Warren is at
29:29
Speaker 3: least a hardcore socialist. Kamala's voting record is to the
29:35
Speaker 3: left of both of them. I served with her in
29:39
Speaker 3: the Senate. I know Kamala well. One hundred percent of
29:42
Speaker 3: the time she voted hard, hard left. This is a
29:46
Speaker 3: party I believe that today is a Marxist party. Now
29:50
Speaker 3: Marxist is not just an empty pejorative. This is a
29:54
Speaker 3: party that is born of academic elites. This is a
29:56
Speaker 3: party that is born of the same marxi that have
30:00
Speaker 3: taken over our universities that have corrupted our universities. There's
30:04
Speaker 3: a reason that you don't see people at this Democrat
30:10
Speaker 3: party talking about October seventh because their sympathies are with
30:14
Speaker 3: the hamas terrorists. Because like any good Marxists, they divide
30:18
Speaker 3: the world into victims and oppressors, and they view Jews
30:22
Speaker 3: as oppressors and Palestinians as victims. When it comes to
30:26
Speaker 3: the clip you just played, when she's saying we can
30:29
Speaker 3: snatch your patent, we can seize your property. Understand, patent
30:34
Speaker 3: is intellectual property. It is something you've invented, you owned,
30:37
Speaker 3: it is your property rights. And she's saying, we the
30:40
Speaker 3: government can take whatever you have if we want it.
30:44
Speaker 3: That's a sentiment that Marxists have always expressed. There is
30:48
Speaker 3: no private property. We are in charge, and that is
30:53
Speaker 3: the view. Sadly, that is becoming more and more commonplace
30:57
Speaker 3: in this Democrat Party. Now, Kamala and the media will
31:01
Speaker 3: do everything they can to hide those views for the
31:03
Speaker 3: next eighty days. They don't want the voters to know that.
31:06
Speaker 3: They're going to paint her as nice and simple and
31:10
Speaker 3: normal and happy days are here again, because they are
31:14
Speaker 3: trying to offu skate how radically out of touch her
31:18
Speaker 3: record is.
31:21
Speaker 1: You also have the optics of the party right now,
31:24
Speaker 1: and the Democratic Party is very much acting like they
31:26
Speaker 1: are united. But there was some reporting that came out
31:29
Speaker 1: night two, and it said VP Kamwa Harris held an
31:33
Speaker 1: event ninety miles away from the DNC on the night
31:36
Speaker 1: the party's two most popular figures, Barack and Michelle Obama,
31:40
Speaker 1: campaign on her behalf, and a source familiar with the
31:42
Speaker 1: DNC planning tells Fox that the choice was made out
31:47
Speaker 1: of sensitivity and respect for quote Joe Biden. Obamas are
31:52
Speaker 1: still not on the White House good side quote unquote
31:54
Speaker 1: why because well, they were part of the coup. A
31:57
Speaker 1: source familiar with the situation said, quote it would not
31:59
Speaker 1: be helpful to their relationships quote unquote. Fox has told
32:04
Speaker 1: this plan came together to avoid the optics of Harris
32:07
Speaker 1: still serving as Biden's VP, appearing alongside one of the
32:11
Speaker 1: figures he views as responsible for driving him out of office,
32:16
Speaker 1: driving the end of his reelection bid at the very
32:19
Speaker 1: convention which was supposed to be his only weeks ago. Quote,
32:24
Speaker 1: we are in tricky territory, the source said to Fox.
32:28
Speaker 1: Now I find a little bit of hope in this
32:31
Speaker 1: because you mentioned the media. You mentioned everything's supposed to
32:34
Speaker 1: be kumbayah, but there's still a lot going on behind
32:38
Speaker 1: the scenes. There are still people. By the way, and
32:41
Speaker 1: I tweeted this out when I was watching Michelle Obama
32:43
Speaker 1: and she came out. I said, go and compare the
32:47
Speaker 1: crowd noise and the excitement when Michelle Obama walked out
32:51
Speaker 1: to when Kamwa Harris walked out. And they love Michelle
32:54
Speaker 1: more than they love their president for their candidate for
32:57
Speaker 1: the White House.
32:59
Speaker 2: Well, look that's true.
33:00
Speaker 3: And you and I eleven months ago predicted number one,
33:03
Speaker 3: that Joe Biden the Democrats would throw him off the ticket.
33:05
Speaker 2: We were right on that.
33:07
Speaker 3: But number two, I predicted that they would replace him
33:10
Speaker 3: with Michelle Obama. Now I got to say, if they had,
33:15
Speaker 3: I think their odds of winning would be very, very high.
33:19
Speaker 3: If I were a Democrat, I would have been all
33:21
Speaker 3: in on the team Michelle, because Michelle would have been
33:24
Speaker 3: an incredibly formidable candidate. I think they tried to convince
33:29
Speaker 3: Michelle to do it. I think she said no. And
33:31
Speaker 3: you and I talked about at the time what would
33:33
Speaker 3: prevent that, and I said two things would prevent that.
33:36
Speaker 3: One if Joe refused to go, and I think he
33:39
Speaker 3: did refuse to go for a month after month after
33:41
Speaker 3: month until they finally forced him out by threatening the
33:43
Speaker 3: twenty fifth Amendment. And then I said number two, Maybe,
33:46
Speaker 3: just maybe Michelle would say no. Why because she likes
33:50
Speaker 3: to take more than she needs? Why because she likes
33:52
Speaker 3: to fly on a G five? Why because she likes
33:55
Speaker 3: Martha's vineyard. Why because she likes to party with Oprah
33:58
Speaker 3: Winfrey and George Clooney, because she lives the life of
34:01
Speaker 3: a movie star, and so decided not to do that.
34:05
Speaker 3: Now I'm grateful for America that she did, because, as
34:09
Speaker 3: I said, she would have been an incredibly dangerous candidate.
34:11
Speaker 3: But I got to say, listening last night to Michelle
34:14
Speaker 3: Obama and listening to Barack Obama, those two may be
34:19
Speaker 3: the two most dangerous demagogues our country has seen in
34:24
Speaker 3: a generation. Barack Obama, listening to him talk that man
34:29
Speaker 3: is a talented communicator. I disagree with him on virtually
34:33
Speaker 3: every issue. I think Barack Obama is the progenitor of
34:38
Speaker 3: the Marxist takeover of the Democrat Party.
34:40
Speaker 2: I think that is his ideology.
34:43
Speaker 3: It is born of the radical extremism in our universities.
34:49
Speaker 3: But he can dress it up in a way that
34:52
Speaker 3: it doesn't sound extreme. It is dangerous. And I'll say
34:55
Speaker 3: one thing I thought about last night during the convention.
34:58
Speaker 3: Thank god for the twenty second Amendment. Thank god for
35:02
Speaker 3: the limitation of two terms as a president, because if
35:06
Speaker 3: Barack Obama were still running, he might be president for
35:10
Speaker 3: another decade. And so I'm grateful that he can't formally
35:13
Speaker 3: have the job. But he remains incredibly potent and incredibly
35:17
Speaker 3: dangerous because he masks up extreme radicalism in a way
35:22
Speaker 3: that seems innocuous, that seems non threatening, and it seems
35:27
Speaker 3: very hip and very cool.
35:29
Speaker 1: Well, I stop watching it. He literally demonized Republicans for
35:33
Speaker 1: thirty one minutes and then called for unity. I mean,
35:38
Speaker 1: who can do that unless you're an incredibly talented politician
35:42
Speaker 1: where you trash the other side. And by the way,
35:45
Speaker 1: I'm still waiting for somebody in prime time to say
35:47
Speaker 1: they're glad that Donald Trump is alive and wasn't and
35:49
Speaker 1: wasn't assassinated. That's not ever, that hasn't come out of
35:52
Speaker 1: anybody's mouth.
35:54
Speaker 3: Now they're trying to gas gas like that and just
35:58
Speaker 3: completely erase it from public hounmeciousness that it even happened.
36:03
Speaker 1: And and here we are two other questions I want
36:05
Speaker 1: to dive into real quick. I haven't seen a lot
36:08
Speaker 1: of American flags of the Democratic Convention, except if they're
36:12
Speaker 1: being burnt outside of the DNC. Democratic supporters are there
36:17
Speaker 1: burning the American flag. We are seeing a I would
36:21
Speaker 1: argue a fair amount of arrests. We've had a second
36:24
Speaker 1: perimeter wall that's had to be put up because of
36:26
Speaker 1: the pro hamas pro terrorist protesters. We're able to break
36:30
Speaker 1: through the first wall yesterday. Uh and the Chicago police.
36:34
Speaker 1: You know, for Democrats, they're all about defund the police
36:38
Speaker 1: until they needed to protect their convention. And many of
36:41
Speaker 1: the Democrats are being protected by these police are the
36:43
Speaker 1: same ones that have been demonizing and attacking the police.
36:47
Speaker 1: One of them, by the way, is Kamway Harris. Let's
36:48
Speaker 1: not let her off the hook for that. And we
36:51
Speaker 1: also found out from the people in charge they said,
36:54
Speaker 1: don't worry if it's a misdemeanor, no one's going to
36:57
Speaker 1: be charged of any crime. So go out there and
36:58
Speaker 1: do what you want during the convention.
37:01
Speaker 3: So I think it's worth asking yourself, why is it
37:04
Speaker 3: that anti Israel prohamas protesters burn the American flag. And
37:12
Speaker 3: the reason is simple. Those who hate Israel hate America.
37:18
Speaker 3: And when you understand that simple reality, it tells you
37:24
Speaker 3: an enormous part amount about the delegates that are in
37:28
Speaker 3: that convention hall. Why is Josh Shapiro not Kamala Harris's
37:33
Speaker 3: VP nominee? Answer because he's Jewish and Kamala Harris and
37:38
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party did not want to piss off the
37:41
Speaker 3: angry protesters outside who are burning American flags. That is
37:46
Speaker 3: more and more the base of the Democrat Party. And understand,
37:49
Speaker 3: they don't just hate Israel, they hate America as well.
37:54
Speaker 1: All right, so let's look ahead into the political crystal ball.
38:01
Speaker 1: You still have a candidate that the Democratic Party isn't
38:05
Speaker 1: that excited about that. Behind the scenes, they're worried and
38:09
Speaker 1: nervous that the coronation is now coming back down to
38:13
Speaker 1: the reality, which is she was not liked as a
38:16
Speaker 1: vice president for the last three and a half years.
38:18
Speaker 1: She was not liked as a presidential candidate either, and
38:23
Speaker 1: was like one of the first ones out of the race.
38:26
Speaker 1: And now she's back in prime time. What does she
38:30
Speaker 1: have to do to sell herself to the American people.
38:32
Speaker 1: Can she overcome all of that or are they just
38:35
Speaker 1: screwed because Harris is at the end of the day
38:37
Speaker 1: still Harris.
38:39
Speaker 3: Well, look, they're motivated by two things. Number one, a
38:43
Speaker 3: lust for power. And Democrats are united in a lust
38:47
Speaker 3: for power. They are willing to do just about anything
38:50
Speaker 3: to stay in power. They were perfectly willing to be
38:54
Speaker 3: behind a president who is all but comatose. They knew that,
38:59
Speaker 3: everybody knew that, and yet it kept them in power.
39:03
Speaker 3: So it was just fine with them to have a
39:05
Speaker 3: commander in chief who was not capable of defending this nation.
39:10
Speaker 3: By the way, it's also why they're willing to embrace
39:13
Speaker 3: policies like open borders and the invasion of this country
39:16
Speaker 3: because they look at eleven and a half million million
39:18
Speaker 3: illegal immigrants as future Democrat voters, and so power justifies everything.
39:23
Speaker 3: And this is a Democrat party that they follow orders.
39:28
Speaker 3: They are collectivists, they are authoritarians, so they all follow orders.
39:33
Speaker 3: So everyone is on team Kamala. By the way, I
39:36
Speaker 3: don't think you're going to hear much complaining, even from
39:38
Speaker 3: the Biden circles about him being forced out, because when
39:41
Speaker 3: they crack the whip, this is a party that everybody
39:44
Speaker 3: gets on board, even Joe Biden after he's been put
39:48
Speaker 3: out to pasture. But secondly, what is going to motivate
39:51
Speaker 3: Democrats in this election hatred for Donald J.
39:54
Speaker 2: Trump.
39:54
Speaker 3: It's why the word Trump is the most frequent word
39:58
Speaker 3: uttered at the convention, because that's what they're all unified.
40:02
Speaker 3: They might disagree on other things, but they all agree
40:05
Speaker 3: we hate Trump. Those two things are going to motivate
40:08
Speaker 3: a lot of Democrats. And we got to make sure
40:11
Speaker 3: that the American people are focused on the issues, focused
40:14
Speaker 3: on the policy, focused on the substance, focused on the
40:18
Speaker 3: utter failures of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's policies and
40:22
Speaker 3: how they've hurt the American people. If we can focus
40:24
Speaker 3: on the issues, we win.
40:26
Speaker 1: It's always fun. We get to do a joint pod center.
40:29
