Venezuelans to get Legal Work Status plus Joe Biden's Problem is NOT His Age · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Surges at the border the largest we have ever seen.
0:06
Speaker 1: That is the new reporting coming from Eagle Pass down
0:09
Speaker 1: in Texas on the border there where now offered nearly
0:14
Speaker 1: half a million Venezuelan migrants legal status and work permits,
0:19
Speaker 1: falling demands from strained cities. Yes, the Biden administration handing
0:25
Speaker 1: out seft amnesty, offering nearly a half a million Venezuelan
0:29
Speaker 1: migrants in the US the ability to not only live
0:33
Speaker 1: but also work, take away a job from an American
0:35
Speaker 1: citizen in this country, legally approving a long standard request
0:40
Speaker 1: from cities struggling to house asylum seekers. I warned you
0:45
Speaker 1: that if they could overrun the country with legal immigrants,
0:47
Speaker 1: this is exactly how they would then try to get
0:49
Speaker 1: rid of those illegal immigrants by giving them legal status.
0:53
Speaker 1: That's now what they're doing. The Department of Homeland Security
0:56
Speaker 1: expanded or redesignated the Temporary Protected Status program for Venezuelan migrants,
1:03
Speaker 1: allowing recent arrivals to apply for the deportation protections and
1:08
Speaker 1: work permits offered by the policy. CBS News was the
1:13
Speaker 1: first to report the move this morning. Previously, only Venezuelans
1:18
Speaker 1: who arrived in the US before March of twenty twenty
1:21
Speaker 1: one qualified for the program created by Congress in nineteen
1:26
Speaker 1: ninety to offer a temporary safe haven to migrants from
1:29
Speaker 1: countries facing humanitarian crisises such as an armed conflict or
1:34
Speaker 1: a natural disaster. Now, by redesignating Venezuela's TPS program, the
1:43
Speaker 1: US under the Biden administration is rendering the record number
1:47
Speaker 1: of Venezuelans who have reached the US over the past
1:49
Speaker 1: two years, all of them eligible for this new status.
1:53
Speaker 1: They estimate there's at least a half a million additional
1:56
Speaker 1: Venezuelans that are expected to now qualify for or TPS,
2:01
Speaker 1: which has already allowed a quarter of a million migrants
2:06
Speaker 1: from the country to obtain the status that according to
2:09
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Security's own internal figures, Venezuelan who
2:13
Speaker 1: reached the US after the end of July, they say,
2:17
Speaker 1: will not qualify for TPS. Temporary Protected Status provides individuals
2:24
Speaker 1: already present in the United States with protection from removal
2:29
Speaker 1: when the conditions in their home country prevent their safe return.
2:34
Speaker 1: That is what Majorciss said in a statement put out
2:37
Speaker 1: last night. This is the situation that Venezuelans who arrived
2:41
Speaker 1: here or honor before July the thirty first of this year,
2:47
Speaker 1: quote find themselves in while other legal status will also qualify.
2:54
Speaker 2: They now claim for TPS.
2:55
Speaker 1: The announcement will most likely benefit the more than four
2:58
Speaker 1: hundred thousand that we know of people who have broken
3:03
Speaker 1: into this country. These Venezuelan migrants who've trekked to the
3:08
Speaker 1: US southern border over the past two and a half
3:10
Speaker 1: years as part of a massive exodus from this South
3:14
Speaker 1: African country. Now in recent years, more than seven million
3:20
Speaker 1: Venezuelans have fled economic conditions there an authoritarian rule, with
3:27
Speaker 1: most of them resettling in other South American nations such
3:30
Speaker 1: as Colombia, making the largest refugee crisis ever recorded in
3:35
Speaker 1: the Western Hemisphere. Increasingly more Venezuelans have less left Venezuela
3:41
Speaker 1: or other countries in search for better economic opportunities in
3:45
Speaker 1: the United States, embarking on a week long journey that
3:48
Speaker 1: entails crossing Panama and the area there at the foot
3:53
Speaker 1: the administration's announcement, they say is in them is an
3:57
Speaker 1: important victory quote for Congressional day democrats and leaders in
4:02
Speaker 1: large cities like New York for who for months have
4:06
Speaker 1: been pressuring the federal government to grant migrants in their
4:09
Speaker 1: community's legal status so that they can work legally and
4:12
Speaker 1: disappear them from the streets more quickly and not rely
4:15
Speaker 1: on local service, as they claim. New York City in particular,
4:19
Speaker 1: has struggled to house tens of thousands of migrants, many
4:21
Speaker 1: of them from Venezuela, and more than two hundred hotels, shelters,
4:25
Speaker 1: tent cities, and other facilities, saying, quote, our administration and
4:29
Speaker 1: our partners across the city have led the calls to
4:33
Speaker 1: quote unquote let them work. So I want to thank
4:36
Speaker 1: President Biden for hearing our entire coalition, including our hard
4:38
Speaker 1: working congressional delegation, and taking the important steps that will
4:42
Speaker 1: bring people hope and bring hope to the thousands of
4:46
Speaker 1: Venezuelan and asylum seekers currently in our care who will
4:49
Speaker 1: now immediately be eligible for temporary protected status. New York
4:52
Speaker 1: City Mayor Eric Adams said today the Biden administration has
4:56
Speaker 1: used this status as an unprecedented on an unprecedent and
5:00
Speaker 1: at scale, making record numbers of migrants from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Haiti,
5:08
Speaker 1: mir Mar, Sudan, and Ukraine eligible for this new program.
5:14
Speaker 1: Another way, in other words, it's a way to just
5:16
Speaker 1: make people disappear. If you've got a problem, you just
5:20
Speaker 1: make them disappear. If you want to get rid of them,
5:23
Speaker 1: you make them disappear. By giving them this status, it
5:26
Speaker 1: erases them from your book of problems, as it was
5:29
Speaker 1: described by one Department of Homeland Security secretary. Notice how
5:33
Speaker 1: they refer to them. This is not what's good for America.
5:36
Speaker 1: This isn't what's good for you as an American taxpayer.
5:38
Speaker 1: This also allows them to be eligible for massive amounts
5:42
Speaker 1: of government federal aid, which again people don't seem to
5:46
Speaker 1: want to talk about either. So this is now the
5:49
Speaker 1: real problem. I want to get your phone calls and
5:52
Speaker 1: your reaction to this. We're now giving away amnesty to
5:55
Speaker 1: a million people from Venezuela so that we don't have
5:59
Speaker 1: to deal with the issue you. Hey, it's Ben Ferguson,
6:02
Speaker 1: and I want to invite you to meet me in
6:04
Speaker 1: the Holy Land is real. You'll walk in the footsteps
6:06
Speaker 1: of biblical figures like King David and Jesus Christ, and
6:09
Speaker 1: you'll do it all together with other listeners from around
6:12
Speaker 1: the country. I'm going to meet up with you in
6:14
Speaker 1: Jerusalem and experience with you the city's great site The
6:17
Speaker 1: trip will take place May the sixth or the fifteenth
6:19
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four. Go to Christianexpedition dot com slash
6:23
Speaker 1: Ben or call eight seven seven two three four three
6:27
Speaker 1: zero zero two Christian Expedition dot com slash ben. It
6:32
Speaker 1: looks like the cartels have figured out how to bum
6:34
Speaker 1: rush the border, knowing that no one will stop them.
6:38
Speaker 2: I'm Martha. Well, these surging border numbers are really put.
6:41
Speaker 3: Into context when you think about the fact that New
6:42
Speaker 3: York City Mayor Eric Adams said his city can't handle
6:46
Speaker 3: ten thousand migrants per month. Well, they're getting nine thousand
6:49
Speaker 3: a day down here at the southern border, a lot
6:51
Speaker 3: of them crossing right here in Eagle Pass. Take a
6:53
Speaker 3: look at this video our fantastic drone team shot showing
6:57
Speaker 3: a massive illegal crossing in the river right behind where
6:59
Speaker 3: I'm still, and you'll see a human chain in the
7:02
Speaker 3: water as they're trying to get across the river. Very
7:05
Speaker 3: dangerous spot. A ten year old boy drowned in this
7:08
Speaker 3: area last week. The port of entry is right next
7:11
Speaker 3: to these people, just one hundred yards away. They don't
7:14
Speaker 3: care though, they want to cross illegally because they feel
7:17
Speaker 3: if they can step foot in the United States. They're
7:19
Speaker 3: going to be released into the country. You also want
7:21
Speaker 3: to show you human smuggling pursuit. Take a look at
7:24
Speaker 3: this video Texas DPS chasing a human smuggler in Kinney
7:27
Speaker 3: County high speed chase. The driver an illegal immigrant driving
7:30
Speaker 3: a stolen truck loaded with illegal immigrants. They spike his tires,
7:34
Speaker 3: he goes off road into the brush, loses control, and
7:37
Speaker 3: then you'll see on the thermal camera everybody goes bailing
7:40
Speaker 3: out of that vehicle, running off in all different directions.
7:43
Speaker 3: Texas DPS arrested the driver and six illegal immigrants. Last
7:46
Speaker 3: thing to show you down in the Rio Grand Valley
7:48
Speaker 3: with Texas DPS troopers in the brush as they are
7:51
Speaker 3: arresting illegal immigrants trying to evade.
7:54
Speaker 2: Capture from border patrol.
7:56
Speaker 3: Several of them were wearing cartel wristbands indicating they had
7:59
Speaker 3: paid a cartel to get across illegally. And back out
8:02
Speaker 3: here Live Martha concerning Border patrol agents reporting that right
8:06
Speaker 3: here in Eagle Pass they just arrested an illegal immigrant
8:08
Speaker 3: with a murder conviction and another illegal immigrant with a
8:11
Speaker 3: conviction for sexual assault of a child. Send it back
8:15
Speaker 3: to you.
8:16
Speaker 1: That's who's getting across the border. That's who they're catching.
8:20
Speaker 1: Someone that had a murder conviction and another that it
8:22
Speaker 1: was a sexual assault of a child conviction, now known
8:26
Speaker 1: god Aways the southern border have now exceeded well over
8:29
Speaker 1: and this is the god Aways one million under the
8:32
Speaker 1: Biden administration.
8:33
Speaker 2: So a million people have invaded this country. A million.
8:38
Speaker 2: The Border patrol chief at the time.
8:42
Speaker 1: Down in Yuma, the former man in charge, went on
8:47
Speaker 1: Fox to explain what this means for this country. I
8:50
Speaker 1: want you to listen to what he had to say. Again,
8:52
Speaker 1: this is on Fox saying, you guys think it's a million,
8:55
Speaker 1: it's probably well over a million and a half that
8:57
Speaker 1: have invaded.
8:59
Speaker 4: Human Border Patrol role, Chief Chris, nice to see again,
9:01
Speaker 4: thank you for your time. Here's our Mayor Ergantia just
9:05
Speaker 4: a few days ago.
9:06
Speaker 5: Let me tell you something New York is never in
9:10
Speaker 5: my life have I had a problem that I did
9:13
Speaker 5: not see an ending.
9:14
Speaker 6: Two.
9:15
Speaker 5: I don't see an ending to this. I don't see
9:18
Speaker 5: an inding to this. This issue will destroy New York City.
9:23
Speaker 4: So in return, the Border Patrol Union said this on Sunday, Chris,
9:28
Speaker 4: note the sanctuary cities, counties, and states, stop your whining.
9:32
Speaker 4: You declared yourself sanctuaries for illegal aliens while condemning those
9:36
Speaker 4: who think our laws should be actually be enforced. You
9:39
Speaker 4: help Biden unleash this historic disaster.
9:42
Speaker 7: Live with it?
9:43
Speaker 4: Is that the way it's going to be.
9:44
Speaker 8: Chris, Well, you know it's unfortunate, but they're spot on
9:48
Speaker 8: the hearing Mayor Adams talk about no ended this, well,
9:51
Speaker 8: I have to agree with them. We've been talking about
9:53
Speaker 8: this for the last few years. I think I mentioned
9:56
Speaker 8: to you before on a previous show. You know, Adams
9:58
Speaker 8: had this team come down to you last year and
10:00
Speaker 8: we spoke and we showed them exactly what was happening.
10:03
Speaker 8: And you know, it's crazy. This is still continuing at
10:06
Speaker 8: the level that we're seeing. Look, over seven thousand arrest
10:10
Speaker 8: a day, over fifty thousand people in custody every twenty
10:13
Speaker 8: four hours with CDP and ICE. Look, we just had
10:15
Speaker 8: over eighty thousand people come through Panama in August. This
10:19
Speaker 8: is continuing, and again I don't see an end in
10:22
Speaker 8: sight as long as the policies are misdirected and misguided
10:26
Speaker 8: come out of Washington.
10:27
Speaker 7: So Chris, in the absence of prevention, right, it's too
10:30
Speaker 7: late for that. The Mayor is now living with the
10:33
Speaker 7: consequences of one hundred and thirteen thousand people coming into
10:36
Speaker 7: the city this year alone. What are his options?
10:40
Speaker 8: You know, you know that number is seems like it's
10:43
Speaker 8: strikingly you know, huge, right, But that's what we dealt
10:46
Speaker 8: with in Youma year one that I was there under
10:49
Speaker 8: President Biden in twenty twenty one, Yuva doesn't have but
10:52
Speaker 8: one hundred thousand people in the whole community. What's happening
10:55
Speaker 8: down there in Texas an eagle pass. But what the
10:58
Speaker 8: American do is actually can continue to do what he's doing,
11:01
Speaker 8: but hold the administration accountable, you know, get together with
11:04
Speaker 8: all the mayors and the state leaders and local leadership
11:08
Speaker 8: across the country and say, hey, put an end to this,
11:10
Speaker 8: because look, Americans are suffering. We're already suffering under this
11:14
Speaker 8: this economy, and now we're continuing to suffer on this
11:17
Speaker 8: under this border crisis. And something's going to be done.
11:19
Speaker 8: And it's going to take a collection of people from
11:21
Speaker 8: both sides of the aisle to really roll up their
11:23
Speaker 8: sleeves and get this done.
11:24
Speaker 4: A multiple accountable Chris, I want to give you three
11:25
Speaker 4: numbers here. Over the weekend twenty two hundred cross in
11:28
Speaker 4: Eagle Pass, Texas and one day, okay, last week, one
11:32
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty unaccompanied children every day we're encountered. Last week,
11:38
Speaker 4: every day one hundred and fifty. We're talking about kids
11:40
Speaker 4: age sixteen and under. And put this on screen, the
11:43
Speaker 4: known god aways of the Southwest border under this administration.
11:47
Speaker 4: Is it one point five million? Chris, that's the first
11:51
Speaker 4: time I have seen that number, and that is extraordinary
11:54
Speaker 4: to see.
11:55
Speaker 8: Yeah, all those numbers should just rattle everybody's cages. I
11:58
Speaker 8: mean the known got away, and that's what we know.
12:01
Speaker 8: There's still that unknown factor that we never got to.
12:03
Speaker 8: When you look at twenty two hundred in one day
12:06
Speaker 8: in Del Rio, I mean that's crazy. And then these children,
12:09
Speaker 8: I mean, look, you know we hear time and time
12:11
Speaker 8: again about the humanitarian crisis. Look, it's living We've been
12:15
Speaker 8: living this for years now. These are unaccompanied children. This
12:18
Speaker 8: should just turn everybody's stomach that the administration is not
12:21
Speaker 8: holding these source countries and allowing that's allowing this to occur.
12:25
Speaker 8: We've got to do a better job. Americans deserve a
12:27
Speaker 8: better job, our agents deserve the support, and these migrants
12:30
Speaker 8: deserve a better pathway to come in legally and not
12:33
Speaker 8: put their hands in the uh put their lives in
12:36
Speaker 8: hands and smugglers. No, this is ridiculous.
12:38
Speaker 4: Maybe may Or Adams is right, he sees no end
12:40
Speaker 4: in sight? A right, I mean that's what we've seen too.
12:43
Speaker 7: Jilian border patrol forecasting September could be the highest number
12:48
Speaker 7: on record in US history. Chris, We've got to leave
12:51
Speaker 7: it there. Thanks so much, Thank you, Chris.
12:53
Speaker 1: You noticed there's no one in sight, and Democrats are
12:56
Speaker 1: now saying there's no end in sight and they don't
12:59
Speaker 1: want it to stop. The media is having to say
13:03
Speaker 1: what it is. The media is having to tell you
13:04
Speaker 1: what it is. The media is having to report on
13:06
Speaker 1: this because you can't not watch two thousand plus people
13:10
Speaker 1: come across the border right like that. That's the reality here.
13:16
Speaker 1: So is it just age or is it in competency?
13:21
Speaker 1: That is the real question that I want you to
13:24
Speaker 1: answer right now. Is it just age or is it
13:29
Speaker 1: in competency. There is an interesting article that's come out
13:32
Speaker 1: saying that it's the age of Joe Biden that's his
13:36
Speaker 1: biggest problem right now.
13:39
Speaker 2: I tend to disagree with that.
13:41
Speaker 1: I don't think it's his age is as much as
13:44
Speaker 1: it is his mental capacity.
13:47
Speaker 2: Democrats are also saying, well, if you're.
13:49
Speaker 1: Going to say that it's an age issue, okay, then
13:54
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to say that there's an age issue
13:57
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump. I'm not obsessed with the age. I
14:01
Speaker 1: am obsessed with the incompetency. You look at the president.
14:07
Speaker 1: And this is even yesterday at the United Nations are
14:10
Speaker 1: now technically two days ago, and Biden kept losing his
14:15
Speaker 1: train of thought over and over and over and over
14:17
Speaker 1: and over and over again. It was a real problem.
14:21
Speaker 1: Biden abruptly walked out of the Metal of Honor ceremony
14:23
Speaker 1: even before the closing benediction. Clearly he doesn't know what
14:27
Speaker 1: he's doing. You listen to him at the United Nations
14:31
Speaker 1: at the General Assembly, and he was talking and no
14:34
Speaker 1: one knew what he was talking about. I don't think
14:36
Speaker 1: he did either. How do I know this?
14:39
Speaker 9: Listen now, reveize you evolve our institutions and drive creative
14:44
Speaker 9: new partnerships. Let me be clear, certain principles are in
14:49
Speaker 9: the national system.
14:50
Speaker 1: Are Sacra saying even when he says, let me be clear,
14:53
Speaker 1: you don't know what he's saying. Before he says, let
14:55
Speaker 1: me be clear, Biden was reading his pre written remarks
14:58
Speaker 1: for the first time at another event, and it was
15:01
Speaker 1: clear when he was reading those remarks he didn't know
15:03
Speaker 1: what he was reading. It was obvious he didn't understand
15:06
Speaker 1: what he was reading. Listen to this. This is from
15:08
Speaker 1: again yesterday, and.
15:12
Speaker 9: We are we're also discussing the potential for a new
15:16
Speaker 9: critical Minerals dialogue to strengthen our energy security and supply
15:21
Speaker 9: chains for years to come. And third, we're launching a
15:25
Speaker 9: new initiative on disability rates. And I want to thank
15:29
Speaker 9: you all for your fruitful conversation today which has already
15:32
Speaker 9: taken place, and I look forward to working with all
15:35
Speaker 9: of you to do even more in the future.
15:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, he doesn't know what he's talking about. That was
15:42
Speaker 1: the C five plus one luncheon that they were having there.
15:46
Speaker 1: Then you have a White House that's trying to cover
15:48
Speaker 1: him for him all the time. Yesterday talking about the
15:51
Speaker 1: migrant crisis of the border. Martha McCollum talking to John
15:55
Speaker 1: Kirby basically seems to be the President of United States
15:57
Speaker 1: of America. At least he's coherent when he talks. Was
15:59
Speaker 1: asked about what's going on the border.
16:00
Speaker 10: Listen to this, So why doesn't the President address this.
16:03
Speaker 10: It's a very urgent need in this country. While he's
16:07
Speaker 10: talking to the un really missed opportunity today.
16:10
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I mean he's he's absolutely.
16:11
Speaker 10: He doesn't talk about it, John, He never.
16:13
Speaker 6: Talks and has addressed this with those leaders in the region.
16:15
Speaker 6: And we were just now in Mexico City several months ago.
16:18
Speaker 6: He has had he's had multiple now two I think,
16:21
Speaker 6: summits for democracy at each one of them. This issue
16:24
Speaker 6: comes up at each one of them. He addresses it
16:26
Speaker 6: with those leaders. I mean that he didn't have a
16:29
Speaker 6: specific conversation today doesn't mean that he hasn't had in
16:31
Speaker 6: the past, or that he won't in the future, or
16:33
Speaker 6: that the Secretary of State isn't also having these discussions.
16:36
Speaker 6: All these leaders realize, Martha, that it is a regional problem.
16:39
Speaker 6: It's not just because of one country's politics or one
16:42
Speaker 6: country's economics. There are just simply more people on the move.
16:45
Speaker 6: And there's a lot of reasons for that. Famine, drought,
16:47
Speaker 6: political instability, such as what you see in Venezuela. People
16:51
Speaker 6: have lots of reasons for being on the movie.
16:54
Speaker 11: People don't have a silum, they don't have a legitat silent,
16:56
Speaker 11: which is why he has worked so hard in the
16:59
Speaker 11: region to up these centers around several countries where people
17:02
Speaker 11: can apply for legal pathways to come in.
17:04
Speaker 6: That's why, and that's why we bolstered as much as
17:07
Speaker 6: we can, we bolstered security at the border to try
17:09
Speaker 6: to deter illegal immigration.
17:13
Speaker 2: Illegal immigration, at least he said that word.
17:15
Speaker 1: Now, John Kirby's not elected by anyone, but he seems
17:18
Speaker 1: to be pushing right now, pushing in a way that
17:21
Speaker 1: makes me laugh, right, pushing in a way that that
17:25
Speaker 1: is just honestly, it's frustrating to me because he's not
17:32
Speaker 1: elected by anybody, yet he's sitting there saying these things
17:36
Speaker 1: that are just lies. Now, if he was the president, great,
17:39
Speaker 1: but you and I both know that the President couldn't
17:42
Speaker 1: even make the argument that he's making. I'm talking about cognitively.
17:46
Speaker 1: That's why they have to send out John Kirby. And
17:49
Speaker 1: and even this was a question that was asked, and again,
17:51
Speaker 1: I don't think the president can hander this question.
17:53
Speaker 10: Listen, President Biden did not say a word about our
17:56
Speaker 10: southern border today. He didn't meet with leaders from next
18:00
Speaker 10: Co Guatemala. You have nine ten thousand people crossing the
18:04
Speaker 10: border in unprecedented numbers. How is this something that he
18:08
Speaker 10: doesn't address when he's in New York City where there's
18:10
Speaker 10: a crisis unfolding less than a mile away from where
18:12
Speaker 10: he's speaking.
18:13
Speaker 6: Well, Martha, he did address the challenge of regional migration
18:16
Speaker 6: in the speech. He talked about the Los Angeles Declaration
18:19
Speaker 6: for Migration and for and support for four migrants. He knows,
18:24
Speaker 6: and he addressed it again in the remarks that this
18:26
Speaker 6: is a regional thing. You're not wrong. I mean, there
18:28
Speaker 6: are more people on the move in this hemisphere now
18:31
Speaker 6: than we've seen since World War Two. And you're absolutely right.
18:34
Speaker 6: As the weather cools down and conditions get a little
18:36
Speaker 6: bit better, we.
18:37
Speaker 10: Are seeing climate numbers for the reason that.
18:40
Speaker 6: No, no, no, no, I'm talking about just the weather conditions.
18:42
Speaker 6: As we head into fall, it's just easier to be
18:45
Speaker 6: on the move.
18:46
Speaker 10: That's the number now, you're the highest number since May.
18:49
Speaker 6: We are seeing we are seeing increases, not we're not
18:51
Speaker 6: pushing back on the fact that the numbers are increasing.
18:54
Speaker 6: That's why we want Congress to work with us and
18:56
Speaker 6: pass that supplemental. We asked for four billion dollars to
18:59
Speaker 6: help us with border security needs.
19:01
Speaker 1: That I mean he's a liar. But I don't think
19:05
Speaker 1: the president could do that, right, I don't. I don't
19:10
Speaker 1: believe that the president could have that conversation that he
19:13
Speaker 1: just had. And this is the reason why the president
19:16
Speaker 1: keeps ignoring it.
19:16
Speaker 2: Now.
19:17
Speaker 1: I don't think this is an age issue. I think
19:19
Speaker 1: it's an incompetency issue. You have a present that's clearly incompetent.
19:25
Speaker 1: That's the problem. Incompetency. Listen to the president again at
19:31
Speaker 1: the UN what he said, and again, this is another example.
19:35
Speaker 2: Listen to it.
19:36
Speaker 9: So one answer that question, we must and we will.
19:42
Speaker 9: Roade ahead is long and difficult. But if we preserve,
19:46
Speaker 9: persevere and prevail, if we keep the faith in ourselves
19:50
Speaker 9: and show what possible.
19:52
Speaker 1: And show I mean, he doesn't know what he's saying.
19:55
Speaker 1: The road ahead is long and difficult. But if we preserve, persevere, prevail,
20:00
Speaker 1: and then you just you know, emphasize one word here
20:02
Speaker 1: and there. This is the guy that, again five seconds later,
20:06
Speaker 1: says this sentence and mumbles again, no.
20:09
Speaker 12: Even has the evolur institutions.
20:11
Speaker 1: Does anybody know what the hell he just said? Does
20:13
Speaker 1: anybody have a clue? This is the President of the
20:15
Speaker 1: United States of America on the world stage. All of
20:18
Speaker 1: our adversaries are in the world, in the world, or
20:21
Speaker 1: in the room.
20:23
Speaker 12: No even has the evolur institutions.
20:25
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell he just said. Do
20:26
Speaker 2: you know what he just said?
20:28
Speaker 12: No even has the evolur institutions.
20:30
Speaker 1: Does anybody know what he just said? I don't even
20:32
Speaker 1: know what words he's trying to say.
20:35
Speaker 12: No even has the evolur institutions.
20:37
Speaker 1: I have no idea. Diaz, stop laughing. It's not funny.
20:40
Speaker 1: That's the president of the United States of America.
20:43
Speaker 12: No even has the evol institutions.
20:45
Speaker 1: No one knows what the man's saying. And then the
20:49
Speaker 1: media's like, well, it's an age thing. Maybe they're they're
20:52
Speaker 1: fighting over the age. I don't think this is age.
20:55
Speaker 1: I think this is an issue of incompetency.
20:58
Speaker 2: That's what I think.
20:59
Speaker 1: I think this is an ise shoe of incompetency. When
21:02
Speaker 1: I look at him, I don't see an old man.
21:03
Speaker 1: I see an incompetent man. There is a difference. I'm
21:07
Speaker 1: not obsessed with age like other people are obsessed with age.
21:11
Speaker 2: I'm just not.
21:12
Speaker 1: The growing number of polls now are showing voters are
21:15
Speaker 1: concerned about President Biden's age and his energy. Democratic lawmakers
21:22
Speaker 1: have hesitated to offer full throated endorsements of his running mate.
21:26
Speaker 1: Prominent commentators have well reminisced now on whether he should
21:30
Speaker 1: drop out of the presidential race. This series of political vulnerabilities,
21:35
Speaker 1: along with House Republicans announcing an impeachment inquiry and the
21:39
Speaker 1: Justice Department in doubting Biden's son on drug charges and
21:42
Speaker 1: gun charges really just because of the drugs, it's actually
21:45
Speaker 1: just a gun charge, is now sending waves of anxiety,
21:49
Speaker 1: they claim through the Democratic Party, as some fred about
21:53
Speaker 1: whether the man who helped alse Donald Trump from the
21:55
Speaker 1: White House may not have the vitality at age eighty
22:00
Speaker 1: to successfully prevent a return. He is in a period
22:05
Speaker 1: of his life where passing and death is imminent. Sharon Sweep,
22:10
Speaker 1: the leader of the Democratic Party in Lorraine County in Ohio,
22:15
Speaker 1: set on the record she said she often hears from
22:18
Speaker 1: voters worried about the present's potential FRAILTI quote, we are
22:24
Speaker 1: all on a ticking clock. When you're at his age
22:27
Speaker 1: or at Trump's age, the clock is ticking faster, and
22:31
Speaker 1: that is a real concern for voters. Many in the
22:35
Speaker 1: party are continuing to voice confidence in Biden, and they
22:39
Speaker 1: note that Trump himself is not much younger at seventy seven.
22:43
Speaker 1: But Biden's allies are frustrated by the handwringing from an
22:46
Speaker 1: anxious faction of the Democratic Party, and even as campaign
22:51
Speaker 1: officials point to the presence record of defying skeptics, they
22:55
Speaker 1: are strategizing internally about how best to combat and the
22:59
Speaker 1: un mistakable nervousness Such Washington whispers have become far too
23:05
Speaker 1: common along the they say among bed wedding Democrats. That's
23:11
Speaker 1: what Jim Messina, who ran Barack Obama's twenty twelve campaign
23:15
Speaker 1: and recently put together a twenty four slide deck aiming
23:18
Speaker 1: to calm the jitters, which he sent to prominent Democratic
23:22
Speaker 1: office holders.
23:24
Speaker 2: Quote.
23:25
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is going to be easy, and
23:28
Speaker 1: he's fine, Messinas said in the interview. Look, America is
23:32
Speaker 1: split right down the middle. Both parties are going to
23:34
Speaker 1: get forty six percent of the vote, and we're fighting
23:37
Speaker 1: over the rest. But he said Biden is much stronger,
23:40
Speaker 1: in a much stronger position than Trump, and encouraged Democrats
23:44
Speaker 1: to stop their public and private i agonizing. He said,
23:48
Speaker 1: one Center text him immediately after receiving his presentation which
23:51
Speaker 1: included details on biden string of early endorsements from key groups,
23:55
Speaker 1: the impact of cooling inflation, and the popularity of many
23:59
Speaker 1: of the presents achievements. He said, I'm going to stop
24:03
Speaker 1: bedwetting now, the Senator wrote. But interviews with more than
24:07
Speaker 1: thirty lawmakers, strategists, activists, and other Democrats show that the
24:12
Speaker 1: uncertainty persists. Many Democrats expressed dead fast support for the
24:16
Speaker 1: present's running for a second term, and no major figure
24:20
Speaker 1: has risen to challenge him in a primary. Several party
24:24
Speaker 1: leaders predicted that even voters who voice ambivalence about Biden
24:29
Speaker 1: will ultimately be animated to vote against the Republican choice,
24:34
Speaker 1: especially at that choice as Donald Trump, But few offered
24:38
Speaker 1: confident assessments that Biden's stubbornly low approval rating would rebound
24:43
Speaker 1: before next year, and many are concerned that one of
24:46
Speaker 1: the president's most significant challenges is one he has no
24:49
Speaker 1: control over his age. Supporters and critics alike suggest that
24:55
Speaker 1: Biden's prospects may hinge on whether he can find a
24:58
Speaker 1: way to overcome a persistent and growing feeling in the
25:01
Speaker 1: electorate that his advanced age is his defining characteristic. By
25:05
Speaker 1: the way, I don't think it's his age. I think
25:07
Speaker 1: it's his incompetency. That's the difference here. I think this
25:11
Speaker 1: is not an age question. I don't think people give
25:13
Speaker 1: a crap about Donald Trump's age, for example, and I
25:16
Speaker 1: don't think people gave a crap about Ronald Reagan's age
25:19
Speaker 1: for example. What I do think they care about is
25:22
Speaker 1: the incompetency that it shows that they're showing right like that.
25:27
Speaker 1: That's to me what this is actually about. It's the
25:30
Speaker 1: fact that he looks like he's incompetent. At the United Nations.
25:34
Speaker 1: He was mumbling multiple times over. Let me say that again.
25:39
Speaker 1: He was mumbling as he was trying to make points
25:43
Speaker 1: to the world, and people see that. People see it
25:46
Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party, they're concerned over it. They should
25:51
Speaker 1: be concerned over it as well. And when you look
25:55
Speaker 1: at that, it's not about his age, it's about the competency.
26:00
Speaker 1: And Cana President of the United States of America go
26:03
Speaker 1: on stage time and time again, Babba like a moron,
26:07
Speaker 1: clearly loses train of thought, and then you think, Yep,
26:10
Speaker 1: that guy should be president.
26:12
Speaker 2: I think the answer is pretty clear. No.
26:15
Speaker 1: Now Democrats are having these conversations internally at the highest levels.
26:20
Speaker 1: So my question for you is how concerned are you
26:24
Speaker 1: about the president's incompetency and his age. Make sure you
26:30
Speaker 1: share this with your family and your friends or podcasts.
26:33
Speaker 2: Please write us a five story view.
26:34
Speaker 1: It helps us reach more people, and we'll see you
26:37
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
