Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / American citizens are NO LONGER SAFE overseas with Biden as president! Just look at Brittney Griner in RUSSIA as proof!
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So how safe are you as an American when you're
- 0:04Speaker 1: now overseas? And is it fair to say now that
- 0:07Speaker 1: under the Biden administration it's open season on any American
- 0:12Speaker 1: that they want to screw with. And I say they
- 0:14Speaker 1: could be anybody could be domestic terrorists, foreign terrorists. It
- 0:17Speaker 1: could be cartels, that could be Al Qaeda, could be Isis,
- 0:20Speaker 1: it can be countries like Russia in general. We have
- 0:24Speaker 1: Americans that are missing in Ukraine, we're also being told
- 0:27Speaker 1: and if they're being if they're gone missing in Ukraine,
- 0:29Speaker 1: that means that the Russians probably have them. Well, if
- 0:32Speaker 1: you do go missing or you are to aim, the
- 0:35Speaker 1: second question of the Biden administration is are they going
- 0:37Speaker 1: to get you back? And how are they actually going
- 0:40Speaker 1: to fight to get you back. Brittany Griner is a
- 0:43Speaker 1: w NBA star. She is an Olympian, she's a gold medalist,
- 0:47Speaker 1: She's an amazing athlete. She's also been a darling of
- 0:50Speaker 1: the laugh she is an openly lesbian woman. She's married,
- 0:55Speaker 1: and she's an individual that the laft has loved and
- 0:58Speaker 1: champion in the lgbt QIA movement. Now, you would think
- 1:02Speaker 1: that her life is worth a lot to the left,
- 1:06Speaker 1: you would think that her story in her life, every
- 1:08Speaker 1: checking all these boxes that the left loves to check,
- 1:12Speaker 1: would really want to get her out of Russia. Well,
- 1:15Speaker 1: we now know what's happened. She's been there for more
- 1:18Speaker 1: than one hundred and forty days, detained in Russia and
- 1:21Speaker 1: her family, her wife was told, don't say anything, shut up,
- 1:26Speaker 1: be quiet, don't add to the value of her life
- 1:30Speaker 1: by talking or bringing public attention to it. Will do
- 1:33Speaker 1: what we need to do. So after one hundred and
- 1:36Speaker 1: forty days, this hardcore liberal woman who is openly gay
- 1:43Speaker 1: and is a darling of the democratic feminist movement has
- 1:47Speaker 1: been basically forgotten about. After a hundred and forty days,
- 1:52Speaker 1: the wife of Brittany has had enough. She went on
- 1:55Speaker 1: TV instead. I'm not playing their game anymore. The president
- 1:58Speaker 1: is not doing enough to get her out. Now you
- 2:00Speaker 1: may ask this question, all right, well, this is complicated, right,
- 2:02Speaker 1: This is some spy stuff behind the scenes. We gotta
- 2:05Speaker 1: trade for, we gotta figure out what we're gonna do. Obviously,
- 2:08Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin's holding her as a symbol of America and
- 2:13Speaker 1: the lack of power they have, and there's some games
- 2:15Speaker 1: being played, and that is true. But It really boils
- 2:18Speaker 1: down to this. Once the world saw that Joe Biden
- 2:22Speaker 1: wouldn't go twenty feet to get Americans on the other
- 2:25Speaker 1: side of that fence at the tarmac in Afghanistan, the
- 2:28Speaker 1: world realized, including cartel members and everyone else, at its
- 2:32Speaker 1: open season on Americans. And you can now take Americans.
- 2:35Speaker 1: They've figured it out. If you're around the world, there
- 2:39Speaker 1: used to be a I would call it a magical,
- 2:42Speaker 1: invisible really dome around your head. Don't screw with that person,
- 2:48Speaker 1: they're an American. That's kind of how it worked. Not anymore.
- 2:52Speaker 1: When we started taking not we, I should say, when
- 2:55Speaker 1: the Biden administration start teeming order from the actual Taliban
- 2:59Speaker 1: in Afghanistan at the airport instead of bombing them into oblivion,
- 3:04Speaker 1: saying you better open up the roadway so all the
- 3:05Speaker 1: people we want to get out can get out. When
- 3:08Speaker 1: we didn't do that, the rest of the world said,
- 3:11Speaker 1: let's go. We can do whatever we want. America won't
- 3:13Speaker 1: stop us, and we can even screw with American citizens.
- 3:17Speaker 1: But first, I want to take a quick moment to

- 5:03Speaker 1: a new interview and clearly they went on the offense
- 5:05Speaker 1: after Britney Grinder gave a hand delivered a note to
- 5:09Speaker 1: the White House her family did on her behalf from Russia.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Clearly this was read by the Russians and it's said,
- 5:16Speaker 1: do you know Joe Biden, like, do your job, Come
- 5:18Speaker 1: get me, get me out of here. I'm afraid I'm
- 5:20Speaker 1: going to die here. I'm fringing over the rest of
- 5:22Speaker 1: my life in prison in Russia after being there one
- 5:25Speaker 1: hundred and forty days. Now, Britney Griner's coach, the Phoenix
- 5:29Speaker 1: Mercury Head Coach, is in on this too. He's not
- 5:31Speaker 1: listening to anyone in the government anymore because he realizes
- 5:35Speaker 1: they're not doing anything. And he had this to say
- 5:38Speaker 1: about the double standard also taking place in this country.
- 5:41Speaker 1: Take a listen, if it was a Ronnie be home, right,
- 5:44Speaker 1: it's a statement about the value of women. It's a
- 5:46Speaker 1: statement about the value of the black person's a stavement
- 5:49Speaker 1: about the value of the gamers, all of those things,
- 5:52Speaker 1: and we know it, and so that's what hurts a
- 5:56Speaker 1: little more. That is Britney Griner's coach. If it was
- 6:00Speaker 1: Lebron James, he'd be home, right, that's the first thing.
- 6:04Speaker 1: He would be home. Right. Now, it's a statement about
- 6:07Speaker 1: the value of women. Now, this is a liberal, right,
- 6:10Speaker 1: This is Vanessa who's saying this. Right, Vanessa is saying,
- 6:14Speaker 1: this is the coach of Britney Grimer saying it's a
- 6:17Speaker 1: statement about the value of women. Right. So she's now
- 6:20Speaker 1: saying the Biden administration, the Democratic Party doesn't value women.
- 6:24Speaker 1: It's a statement about the value of a black person. Again,
- 6:27Speaker 1: who's in charge, Joe Biden. Joe Biden is what they're
- 6:30Speaker 1: now accusing. Joe Biden's administration is not valuing a person
- 6:34Speaker 1: of color. It's a statement about the value of a
- 6:36Speaker 1: gay person. Again, Joe Biden is the president. And this
- 6:39Speaker 1: crap didn't happen when Donald Trump was president. Let's just
- 6:42Speaker 1: be honest. And the reason why is because you didn't
- 6:44Speaker 1: screw with Donald Trump, because you knew there would be
- 6:46Speaker 1: hell to pay. There was that invisible dome around an
- 6:50Speaker 1: American citizen. Anywhere in the world. You don't mess with Americans, right,
- 6:53Speaker 1: even in Russia, you don't mess with Americans. That's what
- 6:56Speaker 1: every country knew and every leader knew. And they mocked
- 6:59Speaker 1: Donald true, they didn't like Donald Trump, and they mocked
- 7:01Speaker 1: him behind his back of the G eight. And that's
- 7:02Speaker 1: what the media did, right, The media told you this.
- 7:04Speaker 1: There's oh, they make fun of Donald Trump, but none
- 7:07Speaker 1: of them screwed with them, and they sure as hell
- 7:09Speaker 1: didn't take American citizens. Now, this coach goes on to say,
- 7:13Speaker 1: it's a statement about the vay of a gay person,
- 7:15Speaker 1: all of those things, and we know it. And so
- 7:17Speaker 1: that's what hurts a little more. In other words, if
- 7:20Speaker 1: it was Lebron James, and I don't know if this
- 7:21Speaker 1: is true, I think Lebron James probably would have followed
- 7:23Speaker 1: the rules and not been stupid in Russia, right, I
- 7:26Speaker 1: think Lebron James probably would have not done this. And honestly,
- 7:30Speaker 1: Lebron James probably wouldn't have gone to Russia to make
- 7:32Speaker 1: some cash to do an event, right, Lebron James, I'll
- 7:36Speaker 1: give them credits, price smart to go. Hell, no, I'm
- 7:38Speaker 1: not going to Russia right now when all this is happening,
- 7:41Speaker 1: and yet Britney Grind did so there has to be
- 7:43Speaker 1: a little bit of like that on the table here.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Americans right now shouldn't be in Russia.
- 7:48Speaker 1: It's open season. We all know this. There's a reason
- 7:50Speaker 1: why I don't go to Russia. In fact, I will
- 7:53Speaker 1: more than likely never unless it's an official capacity, as
- 7:56Speaker 1: a representative the United States of America, ever go to
- 7:59Speaker 1: Russia because I already on the list because I criticized
- 8:01Speaker 1: Vladimir Puttin, and I expect fully that if I ever
- 8:04Speaker 1: went to Russia, I would be detained. I would have value.
- 8:08Speaker 1: A conservative commentator that's been critical of Vladimir Putin since
- 8:12Speaker 1: the early two thousands is somebody that's probably going to
- 8:15Speaker 1: get screwed with. I've been critical of him on international
- 8:18Speaker 1: TV and national TV for years, on this show for years.
- 8:22Speaker 1: I'm not an idiot. I'm not going to Russia. But
- 8:26Speaker 1: Britty Grinder knew to play by the rules and she didn't,
- 8:29Speaker 1: And there's part of that that does need to be
- 8:31Speaker 1: brought up like there needs to be some personal accountability. However,
- 8:34Speaker 1: she also it should be out of that country by now.
- 8:37Speaker 1: And the reason why she's not is because one thing,
- 8:40Speaker 1: we have a weak president now, the fact that he
- 8:42Speaker 1: is now being attacked and criticize this way where now
- 8:45Speaker 1: the WNBA is sang, Joe Biden doesn't value black people,
- 8:48Speaker 1: Joe Biden doesn't value the LGBTQ community, Joe Biden doesn't
- 8:52Speaker 1: value women. All of it. By the way, I actually
- 8:54Speaker 1: believe is true. And we knew this about him. And
- 8:57Speaker 1: if you don't believe me, just remember what Kamala Harris
- 8:59Speaker 1: said about him when Kamala Harris was running against him
- 9:02Speaker 1: in the Democratic primary. Kamala Harris said, Joe Biden was
- 9:05Speaker 1: a racist. Do you remember that they were up there
- 9:09Speaker 1: on stage and she made her big flash, and all
- 9:12Speaker 1: of a sudden, everybody woke up to her, right, everybody
- 9:15Speaker 1: woke up to her, and they're like, oh, look at
- 9:20Speaker 1: this woman. And she flamed out very quickly afterwards because
- 9:22Speaker 1: they realized she had no substance. But there was a
- 9:24Speaker 1: reason why Joe Biden's wife did not want her to
- 9:28Speaker 1: become the vice president because she called her husband a racist.
- 9:32Speaker 1: That's what happened, folks. She called her a racist. Never
- 9:36Speaker 1: forget that she called her a racist. And the reason
- 9:39Speaker 1: why she called her a racist was clear. She realized
- 9:43Speaker 1: and she thought that Joe Biden was number one actually racist. Okay,
- 9:47Speaker 1: that's true. That's what happened. And now the Democratic Party
- 9:53Speaker 1: is realizing that Joe Biden is not going to protect
- 9:56Speaker 1: and or save them. Joe Biden is not going to
- 9:58Speaker 1: be able to fix any of this. Joe Biden is
- 10:01Speaker 1: not going to be able to protect you, and Joe
- 10:03Speaker 1: Biden is not going to move heaven and Earth to
- 10:07Speaker 1: save you if you are detained or kidnapped by someone
- 10:11Speaker 1: around the world. And that's why Britney Griner's coach is
- 10:16Speaker 1: coming out saying this, criticizing the Biden administration. If it
- 10:20Speaker 1: was a Ronnie Bihome, right, It's a statement about the
- 10:23Speaker 1: value of women. It's a stavement about the value of
- 10:25Speaker 1: the black person's a statement about the value of the
- 10:27Speaker 1: gay person, all of those things, and we know it,
- 10:33Speaker 1: and so that's what hurts a little more. So that's
- 10:37Speaker 1: what hurts a little more. Now, let's talk about one
- 10:40Speaker 1: other aspect of this real quick is Britney Grinder's life
- 10:45Speaker 1: worth less than anyone else's as they just described. I
- 10:50Speaker 1: actually don't believe that, Okay, I don't believe it's a gay.
- 10:53Speaker 1: In fact, I think the White House is probably working
- 10:55Speaker 1: more because it's a woman and a minority and someone
- 11:01Speaker 1: who's in the lgbtqi A community. I actually believe that, Okay,
- 11:05Speaker 1: I really do. I think there's no doubt that they're
- 11:09Speaker 1: going to work harder for her. But this is how
- 11:11Speaker 1: you play the race card when you need people to
- 11:13Speaker 1: pay attention to you. That's also part of this, right,
- 11:16Speaker 1: This is this is how you play that race card,
- 11:19Speaker 1: and this is how you play to the headlines, which
- 11:22Speaker 1: they're now getting. Now. I'm laughing at the Democrats because
- 11:25Speaker 1: they're now eating their own, right. I mean that that
- 11:28Speaker 1: is what's happening right here. They're eating their own and
- 11:32Speaker 1: I think this is amazing. I think, I really do.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I think it's truly incredible that they are doing this
- 11:37Speaker 1: now to Joe Biden. They're saying, oh my gosh, Joe Biden,
- 11:41Speaker 1: you're incompetent. You're doing nothing. What has happened here? You're
- 11:45Speaker 1: doing nothing, You're fixing nothing, You're doing nothing. And this
- 11:48Speaker 1: whole family has come out, and they're basically saying, at
- 11:51Speaker 1: this point, we don't trust this administration, we don't believe
- 11:54Speaker 1: they're going to fix this, then we don't believe that
- 11:55Speaker 1: they're going to help any of us. And that's exactly
- 11:58Speaker 1: what Cheryl said about Britney Grinners. She said she's struggling
- 12:03Speaker 1: and said, I will not be quiet any longer. Now.
- 12:06Speaker 1: When she said she will not be quite any longer, right,
- 12:08Speaker 1: as the wife of Brittany Grinner, why didn't she say this?
- 12:10Speaker 1: It's really simple because they think that they're not doing anything.
- 12:16Speaker 1: Her quote. Initially, you know, I was told we're going
- 12:19Speaker 1: to try and handle this behind the scenes, and you know,
- 12:22Speaker 1: let's not raise her value, you know, stay quiet, you know,
- 12:25Speaker 1: and I did that, and respectfully, we're over one hundred
- 12:28Speaker 1: and forty days at this point. That does not work.
- 12:31Speaker 1: So I will not be quiet any longer. I will
- 12:35Speaker 1: not be quiet anymore. Now. This is Brittany Grinner's wife
- 12:40Speaker 1: saying this, and I'm glad that she's saying this. She
- 12:42Speaker 1: should be saying this, and the reason why she should
- 12:44Speaker 1: be saying it is because Joe Biden has no value
- 12:48Speaker 1: for any American that's outside the United States. Of America
- 12:52Speaker 1: right now. He just doesn't care. We saw it in Afghanistan.
- 12:56Speaker 1: That was when the world realized every American can and
- 13:01Speaker 1: will be screwed with if you want to. This is
- 13:03Speaker 1: no different than a gun free zone sign. They never work.
- 13:08Speaker 1: The bad guys always win. If there's a sign up
- 13:11Speaker 1: that says gun free zone, it is absolutely meaningless. It
- 13:14Speaker 1: is worthless, It means nothing. It is totally irrelevant to
- 13:17Speaker 1: anybody that wants break the law. And that's basically the
- 13:19Speaker 1: sign that we have up from the Biden administration. It says,
- 13:22Speaker 1: don't screw with Americans. Wink wink, nod, nod. But they
- 13:25Speaker 1: all know that, yes, you can screw with Americans because
- 13:30Speaker 1: Joe Biden's the president and Joe Biden took orders from
- 13:33Speaker 1: the Taliband. For goodness sakes, Joe Biden took the Taliband
- 13:37Speaker 1: was telling us what we could and couldn't do in Afghanistan.
- 13:40Speaker 1: When we could have used predator drones, we could have
- 13:42Speaker 1: bombed them, and we could have opened up the highway system.
- 13:44Speaker 1: We could have allowed every single person of tarmac that
- 13:46Speaker 1: we need to get out of the country. We could
- 13:48Speaker 1: have done it, but we chose not to not We
- 13:51Speaker 1: Joe Biden chose not to, and the world was paying attention.
- 13:56Speaker 1: The world is always going to pay attention to what
- 14:00Speaker 1: American leaders do. That's the takeaway from this Britney Grinder
- 14:04Speaker 1: conversation that we're having. And the world pays attention to
- 14:08Speaker 1: what America does, whether it's good or bad, Okay, whether
- 14:11Speaker 1: it's proactive or not, whether it's moving us forward and
- 14:15Speaker 1: protecting us and fighting for Americans or if we retreat.
- 14:19Speaker 1: They're going to pay attention no matter what we are doing,
- 14:21Speaker 1: because they have to decide then what their reaction is
- 14:25Speaker 1: going to be, and what their foreign policy is going
- 14:26Speaker 1: to be, and what they're gonna do. I have another
- 14:28Speaker 1: question I'm going to ask right now, Mexico. Would you
- 14:30Speaker 1: go to Mexico right now? Serious question, because if Americans
- 14:33Speaker 1: get detained in Mexico, or if a cartel member decides
- 14:37Speaker 1: to hold an American hostage right now, do you honestly
- 14:40Speaker 1: believe that Joe Biden's going to show up and come
- 14:44Speaker 1: after them. Do you honestly believe that Joe Biden is
- 14:47Speaker 1: going to try to get you out? Do you honestly
- 14:50Speaker 1: believe that Joe Biden and his administration are competent enough
- 14:55Speaker 1: to come and get you and to fight for you. Well,
- 14:58Speaker 1: based on what Britney Grinder wife said no, and she said,
- 15:03Speaker 1: I did what they told me to do. I did
- 15:05Speaker 1: what the administration told me do. I did with all
- 15:07Speaker 1: the people in the CIA and the back channels in
- 15:10Speaker 1: the State Department, if told me do for one hundred
- 15:12Speaker 1: and twenty days. And what she said was they're doing nothing,
- 15:14Speaker 1: and they're going to this trial and they're going to
- 15:16Speaker 1: convict Brittany and she's going to be sentenced to probably
- 15:19Speaker 1: a decade in jail. That's what's going to happen. And
- 15:22Speaker 1: the only way you're going to get her back it's
- 15:24Speaker 1: probably in some sort of prisoner swap scenario. Now they
- 15:28Speaker 1: may just decide to keep her for several years just
- 15:30Speaker 1: to see how long they can screw with Joe Biden.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I promise you this would not be happening if you
- 15:35Speaker 1: had a strong president. But we don't have that. We
- 15:39Speaker 1: have a week president. And when you are a week
- 15:42Speaker 1: leader and you show the world how weak you are,
- 15:45Speaker 1: and you show the world that you won't even move
- 15:48Speaker 1: sixty feet or twenty feet or twenty yards to get
- 15:51Speaker 1: Americans in Afghanistan and your allies out of Afghanistan. You
- 15:54Speaker 1: take you literally are taking orders from the Taliban, and
- 15:59Speaker 1: the Taliban is you when you must leave the country
- 16:02Speaker 1: that is not technically theirs. That America sacrificed so much
- 16:06Speaker 1: for its game on and its open season on Americans,
- 16:11Speaker 1: I want to play for you. Part of this conversation
- 16:13Speaker 1: that Britney Griner's wife had with CBS this morning, because
- 16:17Speaker 1: it's very clear that they gave this letter to the
- 16:19Speaker 1: White House and said we're going on the offensive because
- 16:22Speaker 1: what you guys are doing sucks and is not working.
- 16:27Speaker 1: It's terrible. Listen to Gail Keying in this conversation. W
- 16:31Speaker 1: NBA superstar Britney Griner has reached out directly to President
- 16:35Speaker 1: Biden with a handwritten note asking him not to forget
- 16:38Speaker 1: her while she's being held in Russia. Griner is scheduled
- 16:42Speaker 1: to make another court appearance in a Moscow suburb on Thursday.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Or Russian authorities claim that she had cannabis oil in
- 16:48Speaker 1: her luggage. The US says she's wrongfully detained. According to
- 16:52Speaker 1: a representative, the basketball superstar tells President Biden in the letter, quote,
- 16:57Speaker 1: as I sit here in a Russian prison alone with
- 16:59Speaker 1: my thoughts and without the protection of my wife, my family, friends,
- 17:04Speaker 1: Olympic Jersey or any accomplishments. I'm terrified I might be
- 17:08Speaker 1: here forever. Britney's wife, Charrelle joins us now to discuss
- 17:12Speaker 1: the letter. Charrelle Grinner, we thank you. It's really good
- 17:15Speaker 1: to see you. When I hear the words that Britney says,
- 17:17Speaker 1: I'm terrified I might be here forever. What goes through
- 17:20Speaker 1: your mind when you hear her say that, thank you
- 17:23Speaker 1: for having Miguel? And it breaks my heart when I
- 17:29Speaker 1: hear her say that because b g is probably the
- 17:32Speaker 1: strongest person that I know, so she doesn't say words
- 17:35Speaker 1: like that lightly. That means she truly is terrified that
- 17:41Speaker 1: she may never see us again. And you know I
- 17:44Speaker 1: share those same sentiments. Yeah, why did she decide, Charille
- 17:48Speaker 1: to write to the president directly? Because I haven't been
- 17:54Speaker 1: able to speak to her, you know, real time, I
- 17:56Speaker 1: don't necessarily know, but I know my wife really will else.
- 18:00Speaker 1: I feel confident in saying that. I think the decision
- 18:03Speaker 1: for her to feel the need to directly reach out
- 18:06Speaker 1: to President Biden's because of the failed attempts that we
- 18:10Speaker 1: have had as a family. You know, she's there and
- 18:13Speaker 1: she knows that we are doing everything that we can
- 18:15Speaker 1: in our own strength to you know, ask to meet
- 18:18Speaker 1: with the president and to you know, request that you know,
- 18:21Speaker 1: they do everything they can to get her home. And
- 18:24Speaker 1: it kills me every time that, you know, when I
- 18:26Speaker 1: have to write her and she's asking, you know, have
- 18:28Speaker 1: you met with him yet? And you know I have
- 18:30Speaker 1: to say no, and she's like, you know what, By
- 18:33Speaker 1: the way, I want you to just think about this.
- 18:34Speaker 1: You're a w NBA athlete that's lesbian, married wife. That
- 18:42Speaker 1: doesn't go over well, by the way in Russia. Okay,
- 18:45Speaker 1: being a homosexual in Russia is it is not a
- 18:50Speaker 1: good thing on your resume when you're in Russia because
- 18:52Speaker 1: Russia is not pro gay, transgender, bisexual, all of these things. Okay,
- 18:57Speaker 1: that's not Russia. So she had higher risk. Yeah, but
- 19:03Speaker 1: the fact that the President of United States America won't
- 19:05Speaker 1: even meet with the family, Britney Grinder's wife speaking out
- 19:11Speaker 1: because they won't even meet with her, They won't meet
- 19:14Speaker 1: with him the White House. I mean, this is a
- 19:16Speaker 1: hardcore lefty check all the boxes, minority here and a
- 19:22Speaker 1: and an Olympic athlete gold medalist who's represent the United
- 19:25Speaker 1: States America and they will hang her out to dry
- 19:27Speaker 1: in Russia. They won't even meet with you. That that's
- 19:30Speaker 1: I mean, if Brittney Grinder, who is genuinely like one
- 19:34Speaker 1: of the most famous w NBA players in history of
- 19:37Speaker 1: women's sports, can't even get a meeting while being not
- 19:41Speaker 1: just detained, Okay, let's I mean, she's she's been charged
- 19:45Speaker 1: with crimes, she's going to a trial, she's in jail.
- 19:50Speaker 1: It's one hundred and forty days in folks. And if
- 19:53Speaker 1: this is what and they can't even meet with the
- 19:55Speaker 1: President Unitiates America. Imagine if you're like, I don't know me.
- 20:00Speaker 1: I imagine if you're some white dude that gets detained
- 20:04Speaker 1: or gets abducted in Mexico. You think they're gonna meet
- 20:07Speaker 1: with your family. Probably not. They're probably not going to
- 20:12Speaker 1: meet with your family. They won't even meet They've been
- 20:16Speaker 1: asking for a meeting with Joe Biden. They're like, sorry,
- 20:18Speaker 1: can't meet with you. Now, there's their reasons, right, They're
- 20:22Speaker 1: gonna say, well, it'll it'll, it'll escalate this. And look,
- 20:25Speaker 1: I mean, are you think Vladimir Putin's stupid? He's not.
- 20:31Speaker 1: You know, They're like, oh, well, don't say anything. Don't
- 20:32Speaker 1: come out, don't talk, because that will raise the value
- 20:35Speaker 1: of her life and when we're negotiating with Russia, so
- 20:38Speaker 1: don't do it right, just shut up and be quiet
- 20:40Speaker 1: so that we don't escalate this. Right, we don't value
- 20:42Speaker 1: you know, we don't raise the value of her worth
- 20:44Speaker 1: in Russia. You really think that when they grabbed her
- 20:48Speaker 1: they didn't know what they were doing on the front end.
- 20:50Speaker 1: You think they didn't know she was a w NBA
- 20:52Speaker 1: star and a former Olympian you know, I mean gold
- 20:56Speaker 1: medal winner. You really think that that was something that
- 20:59Speaker 1: didn't go through the calculus, Like, give me a break.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Do you honestly did you honestly think that in that
- 21:07Speaker 1: moment they weren't going to figure this out what they
- 21:09Speaker 1: had and the value of the person they were grabbing.
- 21:13Speaker 1: Give me a break. How stupid are you? You think
- 21:17Speaker 1: the Russians are gonna increase the value of Britney Grinder's
- 21:20Speaker 1: life and what she's worked to them. From a propaganist standpoint,
- 21:24Speaker 1: if the family met at the White House with I mean,
- 21:27Speaker 1: I mean, how dumb are the people with the White House?
- 21:30Speaker 1: I can answer that question. They're extremely dumb, Like there's
- 21:34Speaker 1: no way around this folks, Okay, Like you meet with
- 21:38Speaker 1: them right away and you tell them what's going on,
- 21:40Speaker 1: and you give them the information, and you explain what's happening,
- 21:43Speaker 1: and you explain why it's happening, and you give them
- 21:45Speaker 1: the details. And the reason why is because you're not
- 21:48Speaker 1: faking anybody out Okay, you're not right, You're you're not
- 21:52Speaker 1: faking anyone out here, including the Russians. Right, the Russians
- 21:56Speaker 1: aren't staked out of the White House looking for Britney.
- 21:59Speaker 1: Grinder's why to show up calling, you know, the Kremlin
- 22:03Speaker 1: going guess what her value just went up because a
- 22:05Speaker 1: family met with with Joe Biden. Like, that's not happening, Okay,
- 22:10Speaker 1: they already knew the value from the moment this saying
- 22:13Speaker 1: went down. Why do you think they're parading her out
- 22:17Speaker 1: this way? Why do you think they're treating her this way?
- 22:20Speaker 1: Why do you think they're doing everything the way that
- 22:22Speaker 1: they're doing it? Like like this is not some new,
- 22:26Speaker 1: like breaking news moment where they didn't know the asset
- 22:29Speaker 1: they had, Right, It's not like they detained somebody and
- 22:32Speaker 1: they tell the family, hey, don't say anything because they
- 22:34Speaker 1: don't know who they have, right, They don't realize that
- 22:37Speaker 1: the person they just grabbed as a very famous person America.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Now that was the case, I can understand it. Right,
- 22:42Speaker 1: if you had somebody that had kidnapped where they thought
- 22:45Speaker 1: was a normal American, they have no idea it's actually
- 22:47Speaker 1: a really famous or wealthy family member. Dumb luck, Right,
- 22:50Speaker 1: that would be different. But they knew they had Like
- 22:54Speaker 1: they knew it. It wasn't hard to figure out. I
- 22:56Speaker 1: would argue it was pre planned and premeditated. Hey, anything
- 22:59Speaker 1: in her bag, grab her anything, you can detain her
- 23:01Speaker 1: for grabb her. It's all on video, by the way
- 23:04Speaker 1: we saw her go through the bag. They didn't actually
- 23:06Speaker 1: plant something on Brittany. It was there. She had something
- 23:10Speaker 1: in her that she wasn't supposed to have a substance.
- 23:12Speaker 1: She wasn't supposed to have this oil to put in
- 23:15Speaker 1: her vape pen or however the hell it works. And
- 23:18Speaker 1: she didn't follow the rules. Right, you're going to Russia,
- 23:20Speaker 1: you better follow the rules, especially every there. You better
- 23:22Speaker 1: be perfect. But they didn't frame her, folks like she
- 23:26Speaker 1: did this to herself. Just so you understand. But this
- 23:31Speaker 1: idea of like don't say anything because it might raise
- 23:33Speaker 1: the level. Give me a break rush is not dumb.
- 23:38Speaker 1: Apparently they think that Joe Biden is playing. I mean,
- 23:41Speaker 1: I guess Joe Biden is this dumb? However, welcome back.
- 23:46Speaker 1: It is the Ben Ferguson Show. It is so nice
- 23:48Speaker 1: to have you with us this afternoon. If you just
- 23:50Speaker 1: joined us, we were chatting about Britney Griner and her
- 23:54Speaker 1: family coming out now saying that American government is totally incompetent.
- 23:59Speaker 1: They're doing out thing to get us out. They're now
- 24:01Speaker 1: accusing the Biden administration of being against women and women
- 24:05Speaker 1: of color, the gay community. If you just take a
- 24:10Speaker 1: step back and you look at all of this, this
- 24:14Speaker 1: is a total disaster from a pr night standpoint, just
- 24:20Speaker 1: for the African American community in general. Does Joe Biden
- 24:22Speaker 1: and these accusations that Joe Biden hates you know, people
- 24:25Speaker 1: of color true again because vice president she said he's
- 24:30Speaker 1: a racist during the primaries. Then she of course, you know,
- 24:33Speaker 1: said okay, just kidding, so she could become the vice
- 24:36Speaker 1: president because she will sell out to anyone to get power.
- 24:39Speaker 1: But she said it during the primary. You know, this
- 24:42Speaker 1: administration that was supposed to be the big advocate the
- 24:44Speaker 1: LGBTQ community, you have a openly gay woman who is
- 24:47Speaker 1: being held in Russia. What are you doing to get
- 24:49Speaker 1: her out? That's the second part of this question, what
- 24:51Speaker 1: are you doing to get her out? Chol Grinder says nothing.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Will you even meet with the family? No, Now, I
- 25:01Speaker 1: don't think the Biden administration wants to meet with Cheryl
- 25:04Speaker 1: Grinder and others because they don't want to hear other
- 25:07Speaker 1: people tell them just how bad they are at their job,
- 25:11Speaker 1: or it just doesn't matter to them, and that may
- 25:14Speaker 1: be part of it. I do think there is a
- 25:17Speaker 1: certain aspect of all of this right now that we're
- 25:19Speaker 1: talking about. I really do believe there's a certain aspect
- 25:22Speaker 1: of a certain part of this. Okay, that is just
- 25:26Speaker 1: they don't care. They really just don't care. This is
- 25:32Speaker 1: a bother to them. Right American gets taken. It's like,
- 25:36Speaker 1: are you kidding me? Come on, really, we got to
- 25:40Speaker 1: deal with this, and they may just throw it on
- 25:43Speaker 1: the back burning go we don't have time to deal
- 25:44Speaker 1: with this, or we just don't want to deal with this,
- 25:49Speaker 1: or sorry, this really isn't our thing right now. It
- 25:55Speaker 1: could go many different directions, just so you know, like
- 25:59Speaker 1: it can it can go several different directions. But what
- 26:05Speaker 1: I do know is this administration is being owned by
- 26:09Speaker 1: the Russians. They're being owned by the Taliban, They're being
- 26:13Speaker 1: owned by China. They're being owned by the cartels at
- 26:17Speaker 1: the border. They're being owned by those that are killing
- 26:20Speaker 1: the number one thing that's killing eighteen to thirty five
- 26:24Speaker 1: year old right nown this country men is fetnal. They're
- 26:28Speaker 1: being owned by the drug dealers. This administration is not
- 26:32Speaker 1: winning on any front when it comes to human life.
- 26:34Speaker 1: And the one thing they are doing is trying to
- 26:36Speaker 1: help you or advocate or support you, going and killing
- 26:38Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices and saying that this government that we
- 26:43Speaker 1: have right now is illegitimate, that the Supreme Court is illegitimate.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Don't forget these the same people trying to totally tear
- 26:49Speaker 1: down America and build it back into a socialist, communist country.
- 26:53Speaker 1: But if you think they're going to protect you and
- 26:55Speaker 1: defend you as an American citizen, you're wrong. Even if
- 27:00Speaker 1: you check all the boxes, folks, Okay, even if you
- 27:04Speaker 1: check all the boxes, even if you're a minority, even
- 27:09Speaker 1: if you're gay, even if you're famous Olympian, you it
- 27:13Speaker 1: doesn't matter what boxes you check. They will now they'll
- 27:15Speaker 1: pander to you, but they're not going to even meet
- 27:18Speaker 1: with you if you get if you, I mean, you're
- 27:20Speaker 1: held for one hundred and twenty days and you're Britney
- 27:22Speaker 1: Griner's wife, and the and the White House won't meet
- 27:24Speaker 1: with you. Are you kidding me? That's how little they
- 27:26Speaker 1: value your life. I'm sure she's like, I'm going to
- 27:29Speaker 1: write him and ass now because you know, my family
- 27:32Speaker 1: has tried and to no avail, So I'm going to
- 27:35Speaker 1: do it myself. Why did she decide on the fourth
- 27:38Speaker 1: of July? I thought that was an interesting choice. Um,
- 27:44Speaker 1: you know, I would have to say that. You know,
- 27:46Speaker 1: it's probably because BG she she cherishes the fourth of July.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Her dad was in the Vietnam War. Um. You know,
- 27:54Speaker 1: she's another we were sending pictures, put up pictures, hold
- 27:58Speaker 1: on a second shore. We were sending pictures of her.
- 28:00Speaker 1: That's her dad on the right. But you said her
- 28:02Speaker 1: dad was served in the Vietnam War. Go ahead, he did,
- 28:06Speaker 1: he did. And so BG literally, you know, loves that.
- 28:09Speaker 1: And so she she cherishes this holiday. And so um,
- 28:13Speaker 1: she she she uses it as a day, you know,
- 28:16Speaker 1: to honor his service and freedom. Um. And so I
- 28:20Speaker 1: know that it was it's killing her. You know that
- 28:23Speaker 1: she wasn't able to, you know, do her annual fireworks
- 28:27Speaker 1: show and you know, put chairs out in the lawn
- 28:30Speaker 1: for all of us to sit down, and you know,
- 28:32Speaker 1: really to just you know, give him the respect due
- 28:34Speaker 1: because honestly, she tells everybody, if I wasn't a basketball player,
- 28:38Speaker 1: you know, I would join the military and my sisters
- 28:41Speaker 1: in the military. And she's she tells BG all the time,
- 28:44Speaker 1: you're too tall. We wouldn't take you. And BG, She's like, seriously,
- 28:50Speaker 1: she is tall. Roll she is tall. She's six eight.
- 28:54Speaker 1: You know, when when when you read the chargers, it
- 28:56Speaker 1: so she's been charged with large scale transportation of drugs,
- 29:00Speaker 1: an offense I could carry a sentence of up to
- 29:02Speaker 1: ten years behind bars. When you heard that that's what
- 29:04Speaker 1: she was charged with. What did you think when you
- 29:07Speaker 1: heard that? Knowing her the way that you do, you know,
- 29:15Speaker 1: it blew my mind because I'm like large scale. I mean,
- 29:18Speaker 1: I lived with BG every day, so I'm like, there's
- 29:22Speaker 1: no way possible. So I knew it wasn't true the
- 29:26Speaker 1: minute that I heard the charge, because I know my wife,
- 29:29Speaker 1: I'm like no, and so it just it's very unfortunate.
- 29:34Speaker 1: You know that she's in this position because BG does
- 29:37Speaker 1: not large scale do anything and in traffic of drugs,
- 29:42Speaker 1: and so it was just very very disheartening to hear
- 29:45Speaker 1: that charge. Yeah, there was one video Chorell that I
- 29:48Speaker 1: found very jarring. It seemed like like Brittany was either
- 29:51Speaker 1: very afraid or had been startled. And I'm wondering when
- 29:54Speaker 1: you saw the picture too, what, Yeah, that's the picture.
- 29:57Speaker 1: That's the picture I was thinking of. God, by the way,
- 29:59Speaker 1: she's just grabbing a picture of Brittany Grinder going into
- 30:02Speaker 1: looks like either quarter out into the room with her
- 30:05Speaker 1: eyes wide open. Now again, this is just take a
- 30:09Speaker 1: step back and understand. This is CBS this morning dogging
- 30:15Speaker 1: this administration for the first time ever. I mean just
- 30:19Speaker 1: straight up dogging this administration. And the reason why, okay,
- 30:25Speaker 1: the reason why they're dogging this administration, the way that
- 30:28Speaker 1: they are dogging this administration is because they have left
- 30:33Speaker 1: an African American woman who is gay, who is an Olympian,
- 30:39Speaker 1: who is the embodiment of the LGBTQ community. They have
- 30:44Speaker 1: let her sit in jail in Russia for a hundred
- 30:48Speaker 1: and forty plus days and they've done nothing including even
- 30:52Speaker 1: meeting with her family. And that's the reason why they're
- 30:56Speaker 1: throwing the Biden administration of the bus. Now, there's another
- 30:59Speaker 1: part of this too that cannot go overlooked here. I
- 31:04Speaker 1: do think part of the reason why CBS News is
- 31:07Speaker 1: doing this story is because they are in on what
- 31:10Speaker 1: I told you was going to happen a couple of
- 31:12Speaker 1: weeks ago. Democrats are figuring out that he is toxic
- 31:17Speaker 1: and that he is a liability. I'm referring to Joe Biden,
- 31:21Speaker 1: and they have decided that they need to get rid
- 31:24Speaker 1: of him. And they're going to undermine Joe Biden now
- 31:28Speaker 1: all the time because they don't want to run for
- 31:30Speaker 1: president and they want to separate him from the other
- 31:32Speaker 1: Democrats running in twenty twenty two mid terms. But they
- 31:37Speaker 1: desperately want to get rid of him for the presidential race.
- 31:40Speaker 1: They want to get rid of him. That's why the
- 31:42Speaker 1: Hill newspaper had this headline, why we desperately need Hillary
- 31:45Speaker 1: Clinton now right because they're willing to bring Hillary Clinton
- 31:49Speaker 1: back if that means saving the Democratic Party. So you're
- 31:52Speaker 1: going to start seeing more headlines like this, Okay, you are,
- 31:56Speaker 1: You're gonna start seeing them, and they're going to start
- 32:00Speaker 1: coming after in a very very very big way Joe Biden,
- 32:06Speaker 1: and they're going to start undermining him this way. And
- 32:09Speaker 1: they are going to do it because I think they realize, Okay,
- 32:13Speaker 1: I think they understand that this is the time when
- 32:16Speaker 1: you get rid of him, this is when you do it.
- 32:20Speaker 1: Even CNN this morning, okay, was busting Joe Biden. Different story,
- 32:24Speaker 1: but same trend, saying, quote, the President was talking about
- 32:28Speaker 1: people who sell the gas. The one hundred and forty
- 32:30Speaker 1: five thousand gas stations are independently owned, their small businesses. Essentially,
- 32:34Speaker 1: this is coming from CNN, and they have higher margins
- 32:37Speaker 1: on their candy bars than they do on their gas.
- 32:41Speaker 1: CNN attacked Joe Biden today him attacking the gas station saying,
- 32:46Speaker 1: you just need to lower the price of gas. I mean,
- 32:49Speaker 1: this happened on CNN today, folks. Lots of stations are small,
- 32:54Speaker 1: independent businesses and they make more profit on the food,
- 32:57Speaker 1: on the cokes and the diet cokes. But this happened
- 33:00Speaker 1: on CNN where the host Christen Roman reacted President Joe
- 33:03Speaker 1: Biden blaming gas stations for high gas prices by pointing
- 33:06Speaker 1: out that it's it's common for there to be short
- 33:10Speaker 1: term mismatches between oil prices and gas prices, and saying quote,
- 33:14Speaker 1: many gas stations are small, independently owned businesses and make
- 33:18Speaker 1: more profit on things like food and cokes than on
- 33:21Speaker 1: the gas. Roman said, quote, Look, it's called rockets and feathers, right.
- 33:27Speaker 1: The price goes up like a rocket and it falls
- 33:29Speaker 1: slowly like a feather. And we see that often over time.
- 33:32Speaker 1: When you look at gas and oil prices, they move together,
- 33:36Speaker 1: but in very short periods there can be dislocation. And
- 33:41Speaker 1: that's what we're feeling right now. After quoting criticism of
- 33:45Speaker 1: the oil industry, Roman added, the president was talking about
- 33:47Speaker 1: the people who sell the gas. These hundred and forty
- 33:51Speaker 1: five thousand gas stations are independently owned. They're small businesses essentially,
- 33:55Speaker 1: and they have higher margins on their candy bars that
- 33:58Speaker 1: they sell them they do on their gas. So it's very, very,
- 34:01Speaker 1: very big, global, complicated picture here. And she further added, quote,
- 34:06Speaker 1: the President is right that oil prices are down fifteen
- 34:08Speaker 1: dollars a barrel, but gas prices are down only a penny.
- 34:11Speaker 1: On its surface, it looks like someone's making a killing there,
- 34:15Speaker 1: and it's not the American consumer. It's just more complicated
- 34:19Speaker 1: than that it really is. Now, this is CNN saying
- 34:22Speaker 1: this about the president. They would never say this before now,
- 34:25Speaker 1: and the reason why is because they're in on it too. Okay,
- 34:27Speaker 1: now it's time to probably get rid of the President
- 34:30Speaker 1: of the United States America, Joe Biden and bring in
- 34:32Speaker 1: someone else, because this dude's a useful idiot to us.
- 34:35Speaker 1: So when you see these headlines, whether it's Britney Griner
- 34:38Speaker 1: or gas, and you see them criticizing the present, you
- 34:41Speaker 1: need to understand it's not authentic. It's just because the
- 34:44Speaker 1: useful idiot is no longer useful to them. That's what
- 34:50Speaker 1: this is really about. Okay, the useful idiot is no
- 34:56Speaker 1: longer useful to them, and it's sad because the value
- 35:02Speaker 1: of an American life in this country under this administration,
- 35:07Speaker 1: or i should say around the world, is no longer
- 35:10Speaker 1: that valuable. All right. Lastly, please make sure you hit
