We OUT The Fake News Media On Sen. Cruz's Trip To A Yankees Game, Plus We Address The Out Of Control Audience Eruption On The View. · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Welcome. It's verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator, you had one
0:03
Speaker 1: heck of a week in New York. I'm not sure
0:05
Speaker 1: that they have come down from the high of seeing
0:08
Speaker 1: you there at the Yankees game. So let's just start
0:11
Speaker 1: with that before we even get to the view and
0:14
Speaker 1: your book. You went to the game and the world
0:18
Speaker 1: freaked out. I had the most ridiculous fund over the
0:23
Speaker 1: last couple of days. So it starts off. I go
0:27
Speaker 1: to Game four of the Alcs Astro's Yankees. I go
0:33
Speaker 1: with a great friend of mine. We get seats right
0:36
Speaker 1: behind home plate, directly behind home plate. Now, I'm a
0:42
Speaker 1: diehard Astro's guy. I grew up as a kid. My
0:45
Speaker 1: parents we had we had season tickets to the Astros
0:47
Speaker 1: when I was a kid at the old stadium at
0:50
Speaker 1: the at the astrodame a long time ago. So I'm
0:56
Speaker 1: behind home plate and listen if you're going, of course
1:00
Speaker 1: you dress and you and I went to game two
1:03
Speaker 1: of the Alcs together. Oh yeah, thank you, by the
1:05
Speaker 1: way for that to invite that was a black That
1:08
Speaker 1: was awesome. We won that, but then again, we won
1:10
Speaker 1: game one, we won Game two, we won Game three.
1:12
Speaker 1: So game four is the frigging elimination game. So I
1:15
Speaker 1: flew to New York. I'm sitting behind home played. Of
1:18
Speaker 1: course I'm wearing bright orange my Astros shirt. Like you
1:23
Speaker 1: either go down and you like root for the home
1:26
Speaker 1: team and screw them. And so that's where I was.
1:29
Speaker 1: And listen, I gotta admit, going in, We're like, okay,
1:33
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium. I've never been to Yankee Stadium. You never have,
1:36
Speaker 1: no never, And for anyone that's a baseball truiss like
1:40
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium and Yankee Stadium into discussion. Yeah, it's the
1:43
Speaker 1: bucket list. And the Yankees are a dangerous team. I'll confess.
1:46
Speaker 1: Actually going in, I was not super optimistic. I thought
1:49
Speaker 1: we were going to beat the Yankees, but I thought
1:50
Speaker 1: they're too good a team for us to sweep. I
1:52
Speaker 1: thought we'd beat them in five or six. I thought
1:55
Speaker 1: that they'll pull out game four, which is okay. But
1:59
Speaker 1: went in and it was. It was awesome. So everybody
2:06
Speaker 1: in the news acted like that you walked in and
2:09
Speaker 1: you're Satan right reincarnated. You show up. That's not actually true,
2:15
Speaker 1: Like it is the very definition of fake news. So
2:19
Speaker 1: I didn't know what the reaction is. I have to
2:20
Speaker 1: admit I sat down with my body and I'm like, okay,
2:23
Speaker 1: I'm going to Yankee Stadium. I'm celebrating what hopefully is
2:27
Speaker 1: a sweep. Yeah, they're gonna be pissed. And so I'm like,
2:30
Speaker 1: all right, is some guy gonna like throw a beer
2:33
Speaker 1: on me? As some guy gonna walk up and punch
2:35
Speaker 1: me in the face, Like what's gonna happ prepare? Yeah,
2:37
Speaker 1: Like I'm like, all right, I get it. But I
2:42
Speaker 1: have to say I was blown away. I probably took
2:45
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty pictures with Yankees fans who came
2:50
Speaker 1: up and like the degree to which like like you
2:53
Speaker 1: have these big New Yorkers who were hugging me, and
2:56
Speaker 1: like we took selfies the whole time. Now, what happened?
3:01
Speaker 1: Sixth inning? I go to the men's room, I'm walking
3:03
Speaker 1: out and there are three guys that flip the bird
3:05
Speaker 1: at me, and I would say, in the entire course
3:08
Speaker 1: of the game, nine innings, I probably had I don't
3:11
Speaker 1: know thirty forty people suggest I do something that is
3:15
Speaker 1: anatomically impossible, and that's all right, You're at a baseball game.
3:20
Speaker 1: What are they gonna say? Yeah, exactly, yea, you know
3:22
Speaker 1: they're gonna yell. And there was one jackass I don't
3:25
Speaker 1: know even though who it was who put this little
3:27
Speaker 1: TikTok video of him yelling and cursing at me about
3:31
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, I'm a leftist, I hate America,
3:33
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I don't even know what he was saying.
3:36
Speaker 1: He was like up further in the stand. Of course,
3:39
Speaker 1: that's what the media ran with. Well, yeah, so if
3:42
Speaker 1: it bleeds, it leads, and if it's flicking off you,
3:44
Speaker 1: it leads, and it got front page. Which still, by
3:47
Speaker 1: the way, I would have lost a bet on that
3:48
Speaker 1: if you would have said, Ted Cruz going to the
3:51
Speaker 1: Yankees game will get front page or the next day
3:53
Speaker 1: of the newspapers in New York. I'm back. There's no
3:55
Speaker 1: way it'll be the game. Nope, you're there, and I
3:58
Speaker 1: gotta tell you. Look, I'm a hat me worried, I'm smiling,
4:01
Speaker 1: I'm laughing, but every time the astro has got a
4:03
Speaker 1: damn hit, I'm standing up, waving, cheering, I'm like surrounded
4:07
Speaker 1: by Yankees. Okay, so in the seat behind me, there
4:12
Speaker 1: is this gorgeous woman in a halter top that everybody saw.
4:19
Speaker 1: It was trending on social media. So I mean it
4:22
Speaker 1: was it was like the I was laughing because I
4:25
Speaker 1: was watching the game at home. My phone's blowing up.
4:27
Speaker 1: They're like, are you at the game? Are you at
4:28
Speaker 1: the game? Like, no, I'm I'm a commoner. I'm back
4:30
Speaker 1: at home. I'm watching this on TV. And then everybody's
4:33
Speaker 1: tweeting me or texting me, going who is that sitting
4:36
Speaker 1: behind him? Because it was like, if you're you had
4:39
Speaker 1: to focus on the game and make sure no one
4:41
Speaker 1: took a picture that they're like, oh, look Ted Cruz.
4:44
Speaker 1: So I will say, my buddy Jeff leaning next to me.
4:46
Speaker 1: He sort of leans over and tells me, Okay, she's
4:49
Speaker 1: behind you. She's selling an NFT so she had some
4:51
Speaker 1: sign and she's selling it and she has to use
4:54
Speaker 1: the Monty Python phrase. She has great tracks of land.
4:58
Speaker 1: So he tells me this. I'm like, okay, all we
5:01
Speaker 1: need is one video of me turning around and my
5:04
Speaker 1: eyes shifting down like they're twenty four frames in a second. Yep,
5:08
Speaker 1: one twenty fourth of a second. I looked down and
5:11
Speaker 1: that's the image they go with. Yeah, and I have
5:13
Speaker 1: to admit the whole damn game. I'm like I'm looking
5:15
Speaker 1: forward or if I turn around, my eyes are up.
5:19
Speaker 1: Damn it, you are not. You're looking at the upper down.
5:21
Speaker 1: But like it just so that that was and she
5:24
Speaker 1: was actually very nice. We actually she and I took
5:26
Speaker 1: a selfie. Were one of the many people it took
5:28
Speaker 1: a selfie early on. It was before she was wearing
5:30
Speaker 1: a jacket or something, because it was she she was
5:34
Speaker 1: just before she was trying to sell start of the
5:35
Speaker 1: fan behind me until she wasn't all right. Before we

7:02
Speaker 1: So that I saw a bunch of the way, do
7:03
Speaker 1: you know who was sitting in front of me? Who?
7:05
Speaker 1: I saw the guy at the end of the game.
7:07
Speaker 1: He was messing with you a little bit on TV
7:09
Speaker 1: in front of you and kind of y'all were laughing.
7:10
Speaker 1: It was pretty funny. So the guy next to us
7:12
Speaker 1: was a Yankees fan, and we were just giving each
7:14
Speaker 1: other crap the whole time, and he but he was
7:16
Speaker 1: he was not a jerk. And we bought each other
7:18
Speaker 1: drinks and we were laughing and having fun. But it
7:20
Speaker 1: was it was a good rivalry. It was a good time.
7:23
Speaker 1: But in front of me and two seats over was
7:26
Speaker 1: Lauren Michaels really from SNL? I would say, so people
7:29
Speaker 1: that don't know Laurren Michaels the the god of SNL.
7:32
Speaker 1: All right, So so he asked you, did he ask
7:33
Speaker 1: you if you're gonna host? Like because you're yes, all right?
7:36
Speaker 1: So I leaned over and introduced myself and I said, Lauren,
7:39
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you I grew up watching SNL. Look
7:42
Speaker 1: like and he said to me his responses, he said,
7:45
Speaker 1: so did I like, yeah, but I was six Yeah,
7:48
Speaker 1: like Lauren's a lot older than I am. I'm like, dude,
7:51
Speaker 1: I said, I probably watched five hundred snls in my life,
7:56
Speaker 1: Like I literally I love good comedy and SNL is fantastic.
8:01
Speaker 1: And I did say. I leaned in and said, I
8:04
Speaker 1: gotta tell you you guys were funnier before you became
8:07
Speaker 1: so political, like it was what did he say? He
8:13
Speaker 1: just sort of frowned. He didn't engage. Later on, I
8:16
Speaker 1: asked him a question. I said, all right, of all
8:19
Speaker 1: the comedians you've ever had on the show, who was
8:23
Speaker 1: the funniest who did you sit back and like say,
8:25
Speaker 1: holy crap, that guy is a phenomenon and I don't
8:29
Speaker 1: want to out him with his answer, because I think
8:31
Speaker 1: that's probably not right. But I'll tell you what my
8:32
Speaker 1: answer was. So I told him what I thought, and
8:35
Speaker 1: I said, young Eddie Murphy when he was eighteen nineteen
8:39
Speaker 1: years in Roga seventies, Eddie Murphy was I'd look, he's
8:43
Speaker 1: he's such a talent, and I'm an old fan of
8:46
Speaker 1: Delirious and Raw and the stand ups, which every sentence
8:49
Speaker 1: of is politically incorrect. Anyone who knows those routines dexters say, Jack,
8:56
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do any more of that, because
8:58
Speaker 1: even in today's mild world, I'd probably be canceled for
9:01
Speaker 1: acknowledging that. But young Eddie Murphy was one of the
9:06
Speaker 1: greatest comedic talents of a modern day. So you're there
9:09
Speaker 1: at the game. A lot of people don't realize you
9:10
Speaker 1: were at the game, honestly, dumb luck because you were
9:14
Speaker 1: on the view scheduled the next morning. You got to
9:18
Speaker 1: fly up the night before. Jeff Suckers you into this
9:22
Speaker 1: terrible deal of good seats sitting there on TV. Everyone
9:25
Speaker 1: that's a liberal hating on you, Republicans are loving on you.
9:29
Speaker 1: And I just played part of Whoopee there so by accident.
9:33
Speaker 1: But you went on the View the next day, and
9:35
Speaker 1: I'm going to play that in a moment for people
9:37
Speaker 1: that are listening. But you go up there and this
9:40
Speaker 1: is just like the perk of the trip. It turns
9:43
Speaker 1: into the story. And then the media comes after you.
9:47
Speaker 1: And then you get to the View and basically on
9:49
Speaker 1: Navarre immediately steps in and it's like, wow, we at
9:52
Speaker 1: least clap when we introduced you today on this book
9:54
Speaker 1: tour event, you know, at the View, and we're nicer
9:57
Speaker 1: in our audience than they were to you last night,
10:00
Speaker 1: which goes back to the fake news because you were
10:02
Speaker 1: taking selfies with everybody. Yeah. No, it literally it's the
10:05
Speaker 1: front page of the New York Daily News. It's the
10:08
Speaker 1: like they the press hammered me. The Houston Chronicle back
10:11
Speaker 1: home said, you know, bronx jeer, And it's true. A
10:14
Speaker 1: few people flip me off. I will tell you when
10:16
Speaker 1: you and I were at the Astro's game in Houston,
10:19
Speaker 1: there were some Yankees fans there. Remember what I told them.
10:21
Speaker 1: I said, listen, we're gonna be polite to you. We're
10:24
Speaker 1: gonna be nice to you, We're gonna be kind to you,
10:26
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna kick your ass. Yeah. But we'll
10:28
Speaker 1: do it with a smile. And they actually laughed. And
10:30
Speaker 1: that's I mean. I was at Game six when we
10:33
Speaker 1: beat beat the Yankees the Alcs a couple of years ago,
10:35
Speaker 1: and we do the same thing where we're nice to
10:37
Speaker 1: the Yankees fans. But winning is better, all right. So
10:40
Speaker 1: the always the view. That's why I went to New
10:44
Speaker 1: York was to do the view and listen. It's not
10:47
Speaker 1: a stretch to say the view is not one of
10:51
Speaker 1: us doesn't agree with us. So we go to the view.
10:54
Speaker 1: We know that the host, the ladies there are not
10:57
Speaker 1: our friends. They don't agree with us. Yes, but but
11:00
Speaker 1: I'm going to go into the belly of the beast.
11:02
Speaker 1: I'm going to go speak the truth. And by the way, look,
11:04
Speaker 1: I've talked a lot of times about I think as conservatives,
11:08
Speaker 1: we spend too much time preaching to the choir. We
11:10
Speaker 1: spend too much time talking to the two point six
11:12
Speaker 1: million people on Fox News. God loved the choir. They
11:15
Speaker 1: need the love. But we got to talk to young people.
11:18
Speaker 1: We got to talk to Hispantics, we got to talk
11:20
Speaker 1: to African Americans. We need to talk to suburban moms.
11:22
Speaker 1: There are millions of people every day who listen to
11:25
Speaker 1: the View, who are just listening to left wing propaganda.
11:28
Speaker 1: So I went on there to try to give them
11:30
Speaker 1: a moment of truth because they're getting hammered by the
11:34
Speaker 1: crazy policies from Washington, and then they're certainly not hearing
11:37
Speaker 1: about it on the View, and so I went on,
11:39
Speaker 1: They're expecting some fireworks, but as much fireworks as I
11:43
Speaker 1: was expecting, I underestimated it. You and I had a
11:47
Speaker 1: conversation before the view, let's pull back the curtain on
11:50
Speaker 1: this about what to expect, and we had people that
11:53
Speaker 1: gave us advice, a bit of debt with a view,
11:56
Speaker 1: and everything that we said we thought would happen literally happened.
12:02
Speaker 1: That the audience was clearly purposely stacked I think against
12:06
Speaker 1: you well, but beyond that, so what happened. We get
12:10
Speaker 1: just a couple of minutes into it and a couple
12:12
Speaker 1: of audience members stand up and begins screaming, and I
12:17
Speaker 1: think you can we have that audio. This is there's
12:20
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds of screaming, by the way, for everybody before
12:23
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this, because otherwise you just and you're
12:25
Speaker 1: trying to stay focused, You're trying to and your liv question.
12:28
Speaker 1: We're on live TV. Yeah, and you did exactly what
12:30
Speaker 1: you're supposed to do. You just keep going, powering through.
12:33
Speaker 1: But I love how the view lost control of their
12:36
Speaker 1: own show and their own audience to the point where
12:38
Speaker 1: they had to reprimand their own audience. And this is
12:41
Speaker 1: how it sounded funny in history we've ever taken in.
12:45
Speaker 1: The problem is we spent nearly seven trillion dollars. And
12:49
Speaker 1: that's what ladies, ladies, it steals us. Let us do
12:56
Speaker 1: our job, Let us do our job. We hear what
12:59
Speaker 1: you have to say, but you gotta go. So did
13:02
Speaker 1: they kick them out because we didn't get to see this.
13:05
Speaker 1: They didn't go to the audience obviously, so they kicked
13:07
Speaker 1: them out. It was it was two climate protesters that
13:10
Speaker 1: they weren't even protesting me. It was actually kind of funny.
13:12
Speaker 1: They were protesting climate in general, and they were and
13:15
Speaker 1: the quip which which I said at the time, which
13:17
Speaker 1: they did air, I said, it's a good thing you
13:19
Speaker 1: guys don't have a van go, you know, because now
13:21
Speaker 1: they're just trashing art all over the world. You know,
13:23
Speaker 1: these jackasses would throw a can of soup on it.
13:25
Speaker 1: And so they were standing there screaming about client climate.
13:29
Speaker 1: The thing that was interesting is the host were freaking
13:33
Speaker 1: out and what they told me, they said, this has
13:37
Speaker 1: never happened in the history of our show. We've never
13:40
Speaker 1: had anyone do this, and I actually think it freaked
13:43
Speaker 1: them out. So it took a while. They're standing there screaming,
13:46
Speaker 1: we're doing the show. The show security was not on
13:51
Speaker 1: the ball because they let them stand there and scream.
13:54
Speaker 1: There was actually a second interruption later in the show
13:56
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes las towards you. That was the
13:58
Speaker 1: F bombs right, Well, so it was someone standing up.
14:01
Speaker 1: It was some lady standing up who had this this
14:04
Speaker 1: flag and it had a circle with an hour glass
14:08
Speaker 1: sign in it, and I don't know, apparently it's some
14:10
Speaker 1: leftist organization. It wasn't even anarchist. I don't know what
14:12
Speaker 1: the damn thing means. But she just began screaming fufufu,
14:17
Speaker 1: like at the top of her lungs, and so they
14:19
Speaker 1: just bleeped it out and it went to break and
14:22
Speaker 1: they just It was supposed to be initially about an
14:25
Speaker 1: eight minute segment, and they ended up closing it at
14:27
Speaker 1: about four because they're like, okay, we've got an audience
14:29
Speaker 1: member screaming the F bomb on national television. This is
14:32
Speaker 1: probably a problem. So when they who did they walk
14:35
Speaker 1: out their own a quarter, they have to like get
14:36
Speaker 1: security to literally like them and drag them out. They
14:39
Speaker 1: didn't lift them and drag them out, but security escorted
14:43
Speaker 1: them out, and in the commercial break, the host gave
14:46
Speaker 1: a big lecture to the audience, don't do this. We
14:49
Speaker 1: don't have Then they said, we don't have a mic
14:51
Speaker 1: on the audience. We won't air what you're saying, So
14:53
Speaker 1: don't do this, and nobody else did. I loved it
14:56
Speaker 1: because I thought it was just so all encompassing of
15:00
Speaker 1: the hatred and the bigotry towards the grand debate of
15:03
Speaker 1: ideas and the view claims they're about the views of Americans, right,
15:07
Speaker 1: the views of everybody, and that they're supposed to be
15:10
Speaker 1: this place we have a grand debate. They're not anymore.
15:12
Speaker 1: And even their audience members I think, proved that point well.
15:15
Speaker 1: And look, it was striking that there were a couple
15:18
Speaker 1: of times in particular that we really got into substance.
15:22
Speaker 1: One time was talking about election denial and listen has
15:27
Speaker 1: left us. They sort of talk the you know, so
15:29
Speaker 1: they asked the question you know, will you admit right now,
15:32
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was legitimately elected and his election was hunky,
15:35
Speaker 1: dorry and fantastic, and will you salute and kiss Biden's darier? Yeah,
15:41
Speaker 1: and I'm like, he is the president. And that was
15:45
Speaker 1: aware of the best response that you could have had.
15:48
Speaker 1: And I also put it out. I said, listen, you
15:50
Speaker 1: guys repeatedly insist that Republicans take this pledge everything was legitimate.
15:57
Speaker 1: And I said, you're totally hypocrites because Democrats come on
16:01
Speaker 1: all the time on your damn show and attack the
16:04
Speaker 1: legitimacy of Republicans being elected, and you not only don't
16:08
Speaker 1: disagree with them, you agree with them and embrace them.
16:10
Speaker 1: And I think you gotta know. I was gonna say,
16:12
Speaker 1: you go back to the history here. There was a
16:14
Speaker 1: part with Hillary Quinton, and you clearly were ready. You
16:18
Speaker 1: did your homework, and you brought up that, Hey, it
16:22
Speaker 1: was Hillary Quinton who went on the views and de legitimized.
16:27
Speaker 1: And by the way, I don't know if you saw
16:28
Speaker 1: the stake because you've been traveling, but Hillary Quinton actually
16:30
Speaker 1: came out today already saying that the Republicans are going
16:33
Speaker 1: to still the midterm elections. She is and came out
16:36
Speaker 1: and said, get ready for it, because if they do
16:38
Speaker 1: win the House and the Senate, it's illegitimate. No one's
16:42
Speaker 1: freaking out, by the way and calling her out for
16:44
Speaker 1: that either, like they're not doing it. I let her
16:47
Speaker 1: up today on radio. But well that good. I'm glad.
16:49
Speaker 1: Listen to Anna Navarro getting triggered when you started listing
16:54
Speaker 1: all the Democrats denying election results. And then she tells
16:57
Speaker 1: you and I love this because I know her. I
16:59
Speaker 1: know her well. She's as she calls you by your
17:01
Speaker 1: first name, Ted, right, that's her like power play, which
17:04
Speaker 1: is classic and an Navarro would not exist if it
17:07
Speaker 1: wasn't for yelling. She got hired as being an angry
17:11
Speaker 1: woman on CNN, like that's what her whole stick was.
17:14
Speaker 1: And then she tries to tell you like you should
17:16
Speaker 1: be quiet when there's like how many people coming after
17:18
Speaker 1: you at the same point, listen, Hellary Clinton didn't say whatever.
17:22
Speaker 1: She didn't say. I'm saying to you. Listen, and she said,
17:25
Speaker 1: we didn't say any here and you would find her.
17:29
Speaker 1: She called Donald Johnson next morning and she competed the
17:32
Speaker 1: election tall Sonny. She sat there while wild Donald or
17:41
Speaker 1: games Trump is an illegitimate press that Hillary Clinton. Now
17:44
Speaker 1: you pulled this. If people miss this, you pulled out
17:46
Speaker 1: the exact quotes on a piece of paper. You were
17:48
Speaker 1: ready for the headlines. I had copies of the headlines
17:51
Speaker 1: of press stories. So I'm reading press stories and you
17:54
Speaker 1: probably didn't see this from the view that that I did.
17:56
Speaker 1: No pun intended, but watching all of their faces go
17:59
Speaker 1: to oh blank moment because they realized they stepped in
18:03
Speaker 1: it and they couldn't get out of it. So the
18:05
Speaker 1: only option was for a Navard say, well, we need
18:08
Speaker 1: to calm down at the table. Election is stolen from you,
18:11
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. In two thousand and two, George W. Bush
18:14
Speaker 1: was selected, not elected. Joe Biden al Gore was was
18:18
Speaker 1: elected president. So Joe Biden, I love it. We don't
18:24
Speaker 1: screaming each other, right, we don't scream each other. They
18:26
Speaker 1: knew they were busted. You owned them on the fact
18:29
Speaker 1: that they allowed their show to have Hillary Clinton say
18:32
Speaker 1: over and over again that the election was illegitimate. So
18:35
Speaker 1: the wild hypocrisy. Hillary Clinton went on the View and
18:39
Speaker 1: said Donald Trump's election was illegitimate. They all agreed with it.
18:42
Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams went on their show and said that Kemp's
18:45
Speaker 1: beating her in Georgia for governor was illegitimate. They all
18:48
Speaker 1: agreed with it. Not only that, though I pointed out
18:52
Speaker 1: the ridiculousness of Benny Thompson, the chairman of the Kangaroo Court,
18:56
Speaker 1: that is, the January sixth Committee objected to the certification
19:01
Speaker 1: of a Republican president. Jamie Raskin, the lead impeachment manager
19:06
Speaker 1: for the Democrats going after Donald Trump, one of his
19:10
Speaker 1: very first act in Congress was to object to the
19:14
Speaker 1: certification of a Republican president. Democrats have been doing this
19:17
Speaker 1: for over twenty years, actually longer than that. But not
19:21
Speaker 1: only that. It wasn't just Donald Trump. You might say, Okay,
19:24
Speaker 1: Donald Trump broke their minds, and so they all lost
19:26
Speaker 1: their minds. They did this to George W. Bush. Joe
19:30
Speaker 1: Biden claimed in two thousand al Gore was elected president.
19:35
Speaker 1: He said the election was illegitimate, and so the utter hypocrisy.
19:38
Speaker 1: And you know what, Whoopee said, and Anna said, and
19:40
Speaker 1: all them they said, oh no, no, it's completely true
19:43
Speaker 1: when it's Republicans. When it's Republicans, it's illegitimate. If a
19:46
Speaker 1: Democrat wins, you cannot say it's ill legitimate. I mean,
19:49
Speaker 1: they demonstrated the rank hypocrisy a edited well, and they
19:54
Speaker 1: were obsessed with January six. They were trying to tie you,
19:57
Speaker 1: obviously to January six. You brought up let's be clear
20:01
Speaker 1: about violence and that includes Antifa, and then Whoopie actually
20:05
Speaker 1: said she doesn't know what an Antifa riot was, had
20:09
Speaker 1: no clue what that even means. Listen, no, you know,
20:12
Speaker 1: here's the thing. We may not like when Republicans win,
20:15
Speaker 1: but we don't go and we don't storm, we don't
20:18
Speaker 1: try to teams. But did I list an entire year
20:24
Speaker 1: of Antifa riots where cities across police cars. Your position
20:31
Speaker 1: is the left doesn't engage in violence. Really, the left
20:34
Speaker 1: made a career over the last year and a half,
20:36
Speaker 1: two years of they set up their own countries. Well,
20:39
Speaker 1: and remember to the city of Chaz that turned in
20:42
Speaker 1: the city of what was it? Chaz became after that,
20:46
Speaker 1: like the police abandoned it and said we can't handle it.
20:49
Speaker 1: So the entire reason I went on the view is
20:53
Speaker 1: that yesterday my new book came out. The book is
20:57
Speaker 1: Justice Corrupted, How the Left is weaponized the legal system.
21:00
Speaker 1: By the way, it shot to the top of the
21:02
Speaker 1: Amazon bestseller list, people are pre ordering it and buying it.
21:06
Speaker 1: But I went on the View to talk about it,
21:08
Speaker 1: and one of the things I talk about is great length,
21:12
Speaker 1: is the violence of the Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots,
21:16
Speaker 1: riots all over the country that burn cities, that fire
21:19
Speaker 1: bomb police cars, that murdered people. And by the way,
21:23
Speaker 1: the Democrats didn't just turned to blind eye. They celebrated it.
21:27
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris raised bail money to bail out of jail,
21:31
Speaker 1: violent rioters destroying cities, and you know, it really does
21:36
Speaker 1: strike to the heart of the corrupt corporate media. That
21:40
Speaker 1: Whoopee's reaction is, I don't know what an Antifa riot is.
21:45
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I want you to think of
21:46
Speaker 1: all the moms at home who are listening to the View,
21:50
Speaker 1: who what they hear is this sanitized problem every day.
21:55
Speaker 1: If what they're hearing is there's no such thing as
21:58
Speaker 1: an Antifa riot, it is a stunning it. There's value
22:02
Speaker 1: to going into the belly of the beast, whether it's
22:04
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium or the View. There's value to standing up
22:07
Speaker 1: at a happy warrior. So I'm smiling throughout all of this.
22:09
Speaker 1: They're losing their minds. Their hair is on fire, which
22:12
Speaker 1: is when you know you're winning. It's truth is powerful,
22:16
Speaker 1: and you can say truth with joy and it is powerful.
22:21
Speaker 1: But look also in the book Justice Corrupted, I talk
22:25
Speaker 1: about I tell the inside story of January sixth. It's
22:28
Speaker 1: actually the first book that has been written from anyone
22:31
Speaker 1: that tells the real inside story of what happens on
22:34
Speaker 1: January sixth. I was standing on the Senate floor objecting,
22:38
Speaker 1: leading the Senate objections when January six unfolded. So I
22:42
Speaker 1: walked through in the book what happened there. Donald Trump
22:46
Speaker 1: called me and asked me to personally argue the US
22:49
Speaker 1: Supreme Court case if the court had taken the case.
22:51
Speaker 1: And so the book I tell that story. I bring
22:54
Speaker 1: people inside, and I think it's valuable to go on
22:58
Speaker 1: the view and to go in hostile environments and try
23:01
Speaker 1: to speak truth in an environment where truth is usually absent.
23:07
Speaker 1: There's something interesting you just mentioned. I want people to
23:09
Speaker 1: grab the book. Obviously, preorder it, grab it wherever you
23:13
Speaker 1: want to. It's not even pre ordered this now on Amazon.
23:17
Speaker 1: It's in book bookstores. It is widely in bookstores. I'm
23:20
Speaker 1: in the middle of the national bus tour. We've had
23:23
Speaker 1: several people come in. They went to the bookstore bought
23:25
Speaker 1: the book, and I'm signing the book on the bus
23:27
Speaker 1: tour because they went and bought it and brought it
23:28
Speaker 1: to you tour. Today. I was at the airport flying
23:30
Speaker 1: here to Nashville where we are right now as we
23:32
Speaker 1: record this for the bus tour, and it was in
23:34
Speaker 1: the airport today, which was which was nice to see
23:37
Speaker 1: it there. But for people that don't understand you were
23:40
Speaker 1: there January the six, Yes, and I think there's some
23:43
Speaker 1: people that don't understand that. What does you think the
23:45
Speaker 1: biggest lie of that day? Because you experienced it, you
23:49
Speaker 1: were there, you could see it on the view. There's
23:51
Speaker 1: an obsession, yes, I would say in healthy obsession with
23:54
Speaker 1: January six. Democrats feel like it's the only thing they
23:57
Speaker 1: have right now that's powerful going into the mid terms.
23:59
Speaker 1: And by the way, in my experience, nobody outside of
24:04
Speaker 1: the Washington Beltway or the New York media elite gives
24:08
Speaker 1: a flip about January six. It's the most bizarre thing.
24:11
Speaker 1: When you talk to reporters in Washington, it's all they
24:13
Speaker 1: ask about. When you talked about people like the view,
24:16
Speaker 1: it's all they care about. When you get back in
24:19
Speaker 1: Texas or look, I'm in the middle of a seventeen
24:21
Speaker 1: state bus tour. I was in North Carolina earlier today,
24:23
Speaker 1: I'm in Tennessee today. It was in Ohio before that, Virginia, Maryland,
24:27
Speaker 1: wherever you go. Nobody in real America cares a damn
24:30
Speaker 1: about this. It is an obsession of leftist I would
24:33
Speaker 1: say they're two lies. At the heart of the media
24:39
Speaker 1: twisting of January sixth one is there lie that voter
24:43
Speaker 1: fraud doesn't exist. And anyone who says voter fraud exists
24:47
Speaker 1: is a crazy tinfoil hat wearing conspirators. And the reality
24:53
Speaker 1: is voter fraud has been an aspect of elections from
24:57
Speaker 1: literally the very first time any one had an election,
25:01
Speaker 1: when the cabmen got together and voted on the Grand Puba,
25:05
Speaker 1: somebody stuffed the damn ballot box. That is human nature.
25:08
Speaker 1: That's what people do, and listen. I've spent more than
25:13
Speaker 1: twenty years fighting for election integrity, fighting against voter fraud.
25:19
Speaker 1: I led a coalition of states in front of the
25:22
Speaker 1: US Supreme Court defending photo ID laws for election because
25:26
Speaker 1: it's a powerful tool to stop voter fraud. And we
25:29
Speaker 1: won six to three in an opinion that Justice John
25:32
Speaker 1: Paul Stevens, one of the noted liberals of the court,
25:34
Speaker 1: wrote saying photoid for elections protects the integrity of elections
25:39
Speaker 1: and prevents people from having their votes stolen. What is
25:43
Speaker 1: weird about the world post January six is the media
25:46
Speaker 1: and Democrats treated as if anyone saying voter fraud exists
25:50
Speaker 1: is a nutcase and their domestic terrorists in their minds.
25:53
Speaker 1: It is utterly a historical And by the way, CNN,
25:56
Speaker 1: you take someone like Jake Tapper who refers to anyone
26:00
Speaker 1: worried about voter fraud as an insurrectionist. Yeah, it is bizarre.
26:06
Speaker 1: So that's one lies the notion that voter fraud doesn't exist.
26:09
Speaker 1: There was real and substantial evidence of voter fraud in
26:12
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty election, very disturbing. Democrats took advantage of
26:16
Speaker 1: the COVID pandemic to loosen restrictions to set up drop
26:20
Speaker 1: boxes that you could drop things off in the middle
26:22
Speaker 1: of the night. States like Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania state constitution prohibits
26:27
Speaker 1: mail in ballots except in very limited circumstances. Pennsylvania, they
26:33
Speaker 1: allowed universal mail in ballots. By the way, mail in
26:36
Speaker 1: ballots have long been acknowledged as a source of voter fraud.
26:41
Speaker 1: It makes it easier to engage in voter fraud. Pennsylvania
26:45
Speaker 1: did so directly contrary to the Pennsylvania State Constitution. In
26:49
Speaker 1: the book Justice Corrupted, I walk through these various facts.
26:53
Speaker 1: And by the way, one of the talking points leftists
26:55
Speaker 1: used as well, there were sixty some odd cases against
26:58
Speaker 1: them and they all lost. There's some truth to that,
27:01
Speaker 1: But what I point out in the book is the
27:03
Speaker 1: vast majority of those cases we're not decided on the merits.
27:07
Speaker 1: In other words, the court never determined was their voter
27:10
Speaker 1: fraud or not. The court threw them out on procedural grounds,
27:14
Speaker 1: threw them out on standing, the court threw them out
27:16
Speaker 1: on timing of when the case was brought. So nobody
27:19
Speaker 1: looked to the underlying facts. So I walked through that
27:22
Speaker 1: in great length. But the other big lie, So listen
27:26
Speaker 1: on January sixth, there were some people who engaged in
27:29
Speaker 1: acts of violence. There's some people who assaulted police officers.
27:34
Speaker 1: My view is real simple. If you engage in an
27:36
Speaker 1: act of violence, you should be prosecuted. If you assault
27:40
Speaker 1: a police officer, you should go to jail a long time.
27:43
Speaker 1: And that's true. Whether I agree with your politics or disagree,
27:47
Speaker 1: if your right wing or left wing or wherever your
27:48
Speaker 1: views are. You heard a cop, You're going to jail
27:53
Speaker 1: and you're going to live in a six by eight
27:55
Speaker 1: concrete cell for a long time. That is rule of
27:58
Speaker 1: law and justice. But the Democrats and the media and
28:01
Speaker 1: the Biden de ojab done is they've taken the violent
28:05
Speaker 1: actions of a limited number of people on that day
28:09
Speaker 1: and they've used it to try to slander and paint
28:13
Speaker 1: the tens of thousands of peaceful protesters. The day after
28:17
Speaker 1: January six, obviously January seventh, I was in the BWI
28:21
Speaker 1: airport and there were dozens of little ladies who were
28:26
Speaker 1: there and they came up to me and they were
28:28
Speaker 1: hugging me and they were crying, and they said, listen,
28:31
Speaker 1: I was on the mall. I was waving flags, American flags,
28:36
Speaker 1: singing God bless America. They weren't going to the capitol
28:39
Speaker 1: to invade. And now the press is calling me a terrorist.
28:43
Speaker 1: And they were literally hugging me and crying, why is
28:46
Speaker 1: this happening? And what the press and the Democrats and
28:49
Speaker 1: the Biden DJB done. His number one attack everyone who
28:51
Speaker 1: gaged in a peaceful protests and you've got a First
28:54
Speaker 1: Amendment right to engage in peaceful protest. And there were
28:57
Speaker 1: thousands of patriots who came to Washington on January sixth
29:01
Speaker 1: to speak out in support of our nation. But they
29:04
Speaker 1: tried more broadly to paint every person who voted for
29:08
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I voted for Donald Trump as a terrorist.
29:11
Speaker 1: If you vote for Trump, if you liked Trump, you're
29:13
Speaker 1: a terrorist. That's what they were trying to paint that
29:15
Speaker 1: picture on the view as well. And by the way,
29:17
Speaker 1: the ridiculous kabuki theater. For four or five months after
29:21
Speaker 1: January sixth, Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer erected fences with
29:26
Speaker 1: razor wire around the United States Capital. They stationed National
29:30
Speaker 1: guardsmen who were holding machine guns with no magazines, They
29:34
Speaker 1: had no bullets, so they were literally scary props. And
29:38
Speaker 1: I would go talk to them, and actually the red
29:40
Speaker 1: state governors brought their guardsmen home pretty quickly. It was
29:44
Speaker 1: clear that this was pure political theater. This was not
29:46
Speaker 1: actually responding to a real threat. So the only guardsmen
29:50
Speaker 1: that were there were from Blue states like New York,
29:52
Speaker 1: New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut. And I go talk to
29:55
Speaker 1: the guardsmen all the time. And I got to tell you,
29:57
Speaker 1: almost to a person, they were pissed because they got
30:02
Speaker 1: that they were being used as props in political theater.
30:05
Speaker 1: And by the way, these are guardsmen who have jobs,
30:07
Speaker 1: who have families, who got called up and they're standing
30:11
Speaker 1: there in camos holding scary looking machine guns with no
30:15
Speaker 1: bullets in the party five in order for what Pelosi
30:19
Speaker 1: and Schumer wanted to say is every Republican in America
30:21
Speaker 1: is a dangerous terrorist and you should be scared of them.
30:24
Speaker 1: And I got to say, those guardsmen were understandably pissed.
30:27
Speaker 1: Why am I away from my kids to stand here
30:29
Speaker 1: as a prop. There's another issue that I want to
30:33
Speaker 1: bring up before and again, grab the book. It's out,
30:36
Speaker 1: make sure you get it. But there's another political issue
30:39
Speaker 1: that I want to bring up real quick. And I'm
30:41
Speaker 1: sure you saw this today. I think this is a
30:44
Speaker 1: massive victory. The New York Supreme Court has reinstated all
30:49
Speaker 1: employees fired for being unvaccinated, and they are ordering back pay.
30:56
Speaker 1: The State Supreme Court found that being vaccinated as not
31:00
Speaker 1: the spread of COVID nineteen. When he said it again,
31:03
Speaker 1: the State Supreme Court found that being vaccinated does not
31:06
Speaker 1: stop the spread of COVID nineteen. If you don't believe me,
31:08
Speaker 1: CDC director just got COVID again and she's double boosted
31:11
Speaker 1: double vacs. I think I think she said six boosters.
31:14
Speaker 1: Is it six out? I believe that's right. I mean,
31:16
Speaker 1: she's got to have the most of anybody because that's
31:18
Speaker 1: her job to you know, pimp it. And it was
31:20
Speaker 1: just a month ago she got her last booster of
31:22
Speaker 1: the vaccine. But when the New York Supreme Court reinstated
31:26
Speaker 1: all of these employees who were fired for not being vaccinated,
31:29
Speaker 1: ordered the back pay, saying their rights had been violated.
31:33
Speaker 1: I think there was a moment for so many Americans,
31:36
Speaker 1: Senator that just said hallelujah finally because New York City
31:41
Speaker 1: fired roughly one thousand, four hundred employees for being unvaccinated
31:44
Speaker 1: earlier this year after the city adopted a vaccine mandate
31:48
Speaker 1: under the former mayor Bill de Blasio. Now, the quest
31:51
Speaker 1: the reason why I ask you about this is there
31:53
Speaker 1: some of you are saying, Okay, well, what does this
31:55
Speaker 1: mean for all of the people in the military who
31:58
Speaker 1: were put basic their careers stopped. They're not able to
32:03
Speaker 1: be deployed, They're not getting the jobs that they're supposed
32:07
Speaker 1: to be having. Is this going to then tie into
32:10
Speaker 1: that in the future, So I hope. So there's litigation
32:13
Speaker 1: going on all across the country. These vaccine mandates are ridiculous,
32:17
Speaker 1: they're illegal, they're abusive, They're wrong. I've been leading the
32:21
Speaker 1: fight and Senate against them from day one. My view
32:24
Speaker 1: on the vaccine is simple. If you choose to get
32:26
Speaker 1: the vaccine, that's you're right. You ought to be able
32:28
Speaker 1: to choose to do that. And if you choose not to,
32:30
Speaker 1: that's you're right, and you ought to be able to
32:32
Speaker 1: choose to do that. And there should be no government mandate.
32:35
Speaker 1: There should be no school forcing you to do it,
32:37
Speaker 1: there should be no employer forcing you to do it.
32:39
Speaker 1: You shouldn't lose your job, you know. Joe Biden issued
32:43
Speaker 1: four different vaccine mandates as president. One applied to active
32:48
Speaker 1: duty military, another applied to federal civilian employees, another applied
32:54
Speaker 1: to federal contractors people who do business with the federal government,
32:57
Speaker 1: and the fourth one applied to large employers, anyone that
33:01
Speaker 1: had a hundred or more employees. All of them I
33:04
Speaker 1: believe were an absolute abuse of power and were illegal.
33:07
Speaker 1: All of them have been challenged in court. The one
33:10
Speaker 1: that applied to private employers a hundred more employees has
33:13
Speaker 1: been struck down and went all the way up to
33:15
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. It was struck down. It was illegal,
33:17
Speaker 1: it was contrary to federal law, so that one is
33:19
Speaker 1: not an effect. Although even after the Court of Appeals
33:22
Speaker 1: had stayed that order, the White House Press Secretary stood
33:26
Speaker 1: up and said everyone should follow it anyway. So a
33:29
Speaker 1: court has ordered that this is illegal, but never mind
33:32
Speaker 1: what the courts say. Followed anyway. And I think the
33:35
Speaker 1: White House was very cynically engaged in a game where
33:39
Speaker 1: they said, we know what we're doing is illegal, but
33:42
Speaker 1: a bunch of people will obey our order not knowing
33:46
Speaker 1: that it's illegal, and then it'll be too late, that
33:48
Speaker 1: will already obeyed us. The other mandates are at various
33:52
Speaker 1: stages of litigation, and I got to tell you I've
33:55
Speaker 1: engaged in that litigation. I've led amicus brief, so amaicus
34:00
Speaker 1: amicus curii brief is Latin for friend of the court,
34:04
Speaker 1: and those are briefs that are written by people that
34:06
Speaker 1: are not parties to the litigation, but they come in
34:09
Speaker 1: and have views. And I've led amicus briefs in multiple
34:11
Speaker 1: cases against vaccine mandates, defending Navy seals, defending servicemen and women. Look,
34:18
Speaker 1: I've talked to Navy seals who spent ten fifteen years training,
34:22
Speaker 1: defending the nation, going to some of the roughest combat
34:25
Speaker 1: situations you could imagine. And these idiots in this White
34:28
Speaker 1: House are trying to fire these Navy seals because they've
34:32
Speaker 1: made the decision that they don't want to get a
34:35
Speaker 1: COVID vaccine. It's wrong, it's immoral. Those cases are ongoing,
34:39
Speaker 1: but the New York decision is a big victory. It's
34:41
Speaker 1: exactly right, and it if you can win in New York,
34:45
Speaker 1: I think there's now feeling that you can win anywhere
34:47
Speaker 1: with this look and on the merits of it. We
34:50
Speaker 1: had a senior executive adviser testifying in Europe who said,
34:54
Speaker 1: we never test, we never tested whether the vaccine prevents
35:00
Speaker 1: the transmission of COVID. Now, mind you, these abusive bureaucrats,
35:08
Speaker 1: and top of that list is Anthony Fauci, who I
35:12
Speaker 1: think is the most dangerous and the most harmful bureaucrat
35:15
Speaker 1: in the history of our country, which is quite quite
35:17
Speaker 1: a distinction. They repeatedly told us take the vaccine, it
35:23
Speaker 1: stops vaccination it stops transmission. Yeah, well, that's an interesting theory.
35:28
Speaker 1: You could understand how it could be true, But it
35:32
Speaker 1: would seem kind of relevant that the maker of one
35:35
Speaker 1: of the top most predominant vaccines said we never even tested,
35:40
Speaker 1: We never even looked to assess whether the vaccine stops
35:45
Speaker 1: the transmission of the virus. That is a profound indication
35:49
Speaker 1: that when Faucci and the other despots we're demanding everyone
35:55
Speaker 1: must get the vaccine regardless of what you think, because
35:58
Speaker 1: we're telling you it stops transmission, they had zero scientific basis,
36:04
Speaker 1: zero data backing it up. It was politics, it wasn't science,
36:08
Speaker 1: it wasn't medicine. It's going to be very interesting to
36:11
Speaker 1: see how people move forward with this. I think, like
36:13
Speaker 1: you said, that New York Supreme Court ruling saying what
36:17
Speaker 1: they said that they were it was an outright violation
36:19
Speaker 1: of these people's rights is huge. And saying being vaccinated
36:24
Speaker 1: is something they should have never they should have never
36:26
Speaker 1: been fired, and ordering back pay is a victory for
36:30
Speaker 1: everybody's right to decide what's best for them. And by
36:33
Speaker 1: the way, I'll tell you so I've spent for the
36:35
Speaker 1: last several years, I've either been the chairman of the
36:37
Speaker 1: ranking member of the Aviation subcommittee in the Senate Commerce Committee,
36:41
Speaker 1: so I've had jurisdiction over all of aviation. We had
36:45
Speaker 1: a hearing with the CEOs of the big airlines. The
36:48
Speaker 1: airlines varied in terms of how they handled this. They
36:51
Speaker 1: were all federal contractors, so they were facing the Biden
36:53
Speaker 1: White House trying to really pressure them into enforcing a
36:56
Speaker 1: vaccine mandate. Some of the airlines did an able jobs.
37:00
Speaker 1: Southwest Airlines Gary Kelly stood up and said, we are
37:03
Speaker 1: not going to force anyone to get a vaccine. They
37:05
Speaker 1: were fighting the White House. It was hard, but Southwest
37:08
Speaker 1: did the right thing. Delta by and large did the
37:11
Speaker 1: same thing. American did the same thing. The one that
37:14
Speaker 1: was terrible of the major airlines was United and the
37:18
Speaker 1: United CEO is a big support of the Biden White House.
37:23
Speaker 1: He was trying to curry favor with the Biden White House.
37:26
Speaker 1: And so they said, we are going to mandate that
37:28
Speaker 1: our employees get the COVID vaccine, and if you don't
37:31
Speaker 1: get the COVID vaccine, you're fired. And there were over
37:34
Speaker 1: two thousand United pilots, United flight attendants, ticket agent, baggage handlers,
37:39
Speaker 1: that they fired. You're not getting the vaccine. Your job
37:43
Speaker 1: is done. And so we had a hearing in the
37:44
Speaker 1: Senate where the United CEO I ripped him a new one,
37:49
Speaker 1: and I read through letters that I've gotten from United employees,
37:52
Speaker 1: and look, Houston is a big hub for United. So
37:54
Speaker 1: there are tens of thousands of United employees who live
37:58
Speaker 1: in Houston. My hometown. You're you're adopted hometown. Yeah. And
38:04
Speaker 1: I read through letters of people who spent decades with
38:07
Speaker 1: United who these jackasses fired because they didn't comply with
38:10
Speaker 1: the mandate. And even if, by the way, they had
38:12
Speaker 1: a medical reason they didn't get the mandates. Sometimes people
38:15
Speaker 1: had other medical conditions that their doctors advised them don't
38:18
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, didn't matter. If they had a religious objection,
38:21
Speaker 1: didn't matter. United just came down with a club and
38:25
Speaker 1: I unloaded on it. And I will tell you that
38:29
Speaker 1: public pressure, I've played a partner. Others played a partner
38:33
Speaker 1: cause United to change their policy and to bring those
38:36
Speaker 1: employees back. And I fly United all the time, and
38:39
Speaker 1: it has been literally dozens, if not hundreds of times
38:43
Speaker 1: I've had United employees come up to me, flight attendants,
38:47
Speaker 1: pilots who just say thank you. Nobody was fighting for us.
38:52
Speaker 1: Thank you for standing up and fighting for us. So
38:54
Speaker 1: it makes a difference when you go out and fight. Yes,
38:57
Speaker 1: whether it's in New York in the stands, whether it's
38:59
Speaker 1: at the View, or whether it's with United. Last question
39:03
Speaker 1: for you, um, are we going to see you on TV?
39:07
Speaker 1: Your is your buddy Jeff going to get the good
39:08
Speaker 1: tickets to be on TV again for the World Series?
39:11
Speaker 1: That really is what should we should end on today?
39:15
Speaker 1: So look, I'm agonized the first three rows just so
39:18
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just I'm not trying to put pressure,
39:20
Speaker 1: but it needs to be the first three rows. I
39:23
Speaker 1: am agonizing over that because I'm in the middle of
39:26
Speaker 1: a seventeen state bus tour, so I am right now
39:29
Speaker 1: scheduled to be all over the country trying to retake
39:32
Speaker 1: the Senate and retake the House. But the Astros, listen,
39:35
Speaker 1: we're in the six. We've been in the six Alcs
39:40
Speaker 1: in a row. We're in the fourth World Series out
39:43
Speaker 1: of six. It is insane and one thing, you know,
39:47
Speaker 1: but but folks at home may not know. The Baseball
39:50
Speaker 1: playoffs have become a really important thing to me in
39:54
Speaker 1: my family, with my girls. So twenty seventeen, the World Series.
40:00
Speaker 1: I had tickets to Game three, four, and five of
40:02
Speaker 1: the World Series. Game three I took my dad. Really
40:07
Speaker 1: cool to go with your dad to the World Series,
40:09
Speaker 1: like I lifetime memory. Yeah, as a kid, I went
40:12
Speaker 1: with my dad. We had we had season tickets, so
40:15
Speaker 1: it was awesome. Game four I took Heidi. That actually
40:19
Speaker 1: was a mistake. Heidi didn't give a damn about sport.
40:21
Speaker 1: She doesn't care about baseball. She was bored out of
40:24
Speaker 1: her mind. It was like a bad, bad mistake. And
40:27
Speaker 1: by the way, Game four all right. So I was
40:30
Speaker 1: sitting actually in seats pretty comparable to where I was
40:32
Speaker 1: at the Yankee Stadium. It was behind home played. I
40:35
Speaker 1: think it was third row. Very good friend of mine
40:37
Speaker 1: his seats. I arrived slightly late to the game. I
40:41
Speaker 1: arrived in the second indning because I had a speech
40:43
Speaker 1: that I had to give north of Houston. So I
40:44
Speaker 1: get there in the second inning and my buddy hands
40:47
Speaker 1: me a red wine. And I'm sitting there and my
40:51
Speaker 1: phone lights up within minutes, including my buddy Jeff, who's
40:55
Speaker 1: texting me, dude, what the hell is wrong with you? Yeah?
40:57
Speaker 1: And you're an America's baseball game, and I turned to
41:00
Speaker 1: my friend who had invited me to sit there, and
41:02
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, are you actually trying to run
41:06
Speaker 1: the OPO attack ads against me? I know how to
41:09
Speaker 1: go to a baseball game. Give me a damn bud
41:11
Speaker 1: light and a hot dog, Like I'm not a communist.
41:15
Speaker 1: So by the third inning I had a bud light
41:18
Speaker 1: at a hot dog. But there was one inning that
41:20
Speaker 1: was really painful, and I asked my friend, I'm like,
41:22
Speaker 1: should I put my pinky up while I'm drinking like
41:25
Speaker 1: the red wine? It was terrible? Yeah, I don't. I
41:26
Speaker 1: don't care if it comes out of a boxer can
41:28
Speaker 1: if it's red? Wrong? Wrong? Okay, So Game five, Game five,
41:35
Speaker 1: I brought my youngest daughter, Katherine. Now, Game five was
41:39
Speaker 1: on October twenty eighth, and I remember it because it
41:42
Speaker 1: was the day after Catherine's eighth birthday and she went
41:47
Speaker 1: with me and and it's an interesting testament to the times.
41:52
Speaker 1: So when you and I went to the baseball right now,
41:56
Speaker 1: I have a security detail that protects me. Unfortunately, we're
41:59
Speaker 1: just living an anger time where people are not making threats,
42:02
Speaker 1: and they make threats. So in twenty seventeen, I didn't
42:06
Speaker 1: have a detail. It was literally just Catherine and me.
42:08
Speaker 1: It was daddy and daughter, the two of us. I
42:11
Speaker 1: had no staff, I had no detail, was just the
42:13
Speaker 1: two of us. That we sat there. And if you
42:14
Speaker 1: remember Game five of the twenty seventeen World Series, that's
42:17
Speaker 1: the one that went till about one third in the morning.
42:19
Speaker 1: And it was on. It was up and down, and
42:22
Speaker 1: it was dramatic, and Catherine and I are hugging and
42:25
Speaker 1: dancing and crying and celebrating and we one Game five.
42:30
Speaker 1: And I told her afterwards, I said, sweetheart, you don't
42:34
Speaker 1: appreciate this now, but you will. You will tell your
42:38
Speaker 1: grandkids you were here tonight and you have just witnessed
42:43
Speaker 1: the greatest baseball game and the history of Houston Astros like.
42:46
Speaker 1: There's never been another one like it, there never will
42:49
Speaker 1: be since then. So it became a thing for all
42:53
Speaker 1: that Catherine and I do together. So it's my eldest daughter, Caroline.
42:58
Speaker 1: She's not really into baseball, she doesn't really want to go.
43:00
Speaker 1: But Katherine, Katherine's a softball player. She's a very good
43:03
Speaker 1: softball player. And Katherine Talden. Now Catherine is eleven. She
43:07
Speaker 1: turns twelve on October twenty seventh, so so in I
43:12
Speaker 1: would say, I'm thinking a World Series ticket would be
43:15
Speaker 1: a good gift. So we have gone for the last
43:19
Speaker 1: five years. I take Katherine to the playoffs and it's
43:24
Speaker 1: just become a daddy daughter thing that we go together.
43:28
Speaker 1: And she's such a good softball player that will be like,
43:30
Speaker 1: I'll try to explain, Okay, what's going on? All right,
43:32
Speaker 1: there's a drop third strike and she's like, Dad, yeah,
43:35
Speaker 1: I know what that is. Come on, that's like everyone
43:37
Speaker 1: knows that. And it has become I think one of
43:41
Speaker 1: my favorite things in life to go with my little
43:45
Speaker 1: kookie bear, my little Katherine and the two of us
43:47
Speaker 1: go into baseball. I don't know if we're going to
43:50
Speaker 1: get to this World Series because the one game I
43:53
Speaker 1: could go to is Saturday. But Catherine is having ten
43:56
Speaker 1: little girls, ten, eleven and twelve year old girls spend
43:59
Speaker 1: the night our house. You're gonna lose that battle. Yeah,
44:02
Speaker 1: So I'm we may not make it to a World
44:05
Speaker 1: serious because I may be on the bus tour campaigning
44:08
Speaker 1: to retake America. I hope we do. I don't have
44:11
Speaker 1: a great answer to that, but I'll tell you this.
44:14
Speaker 1: We'll keep you posted. My friends out there. We'll keep
44:16
Speaker 1: you posted and if it goes to the other you know,
44:19
Speaker 1: there's a couple of games on the road, you could
44:21
Speaker 1: always just you know, make it up there for those
44:23
Speaker 1: you know what I'm I'm oh, have you do you
44:29
Speaker 1: know the Phillies. I've never been. I've never been a Phillies.
44:32
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a promise you can deliver, really that.
44:35
Speaker 1: I know the Eagles fans, but that's a little different
44:38
Speaker 1: city of brotherly love. Yeah, okay, it's the only stadium
44:42
Speaker 1: I know where they throw batteries at the opposing players
44:47
Speaker 1: umi point, So we'll see. I'm not holding my breath
44:52
Speaker 1: on going to a game in Philadelphia. Um, I hope
44:56
Speaker 1: we win. I'm gonna be cheering them on. And and
44:59
Speaker 1: I will say, one of the greatest joys in life
45:03
Speaker 1: has been going. And I've told Katherine, I'm like this
45:07
Speaker 1: is this will never happen again, that we have a
45:11
Speaker 1: period where this team is so good for so long
45:14
Speaker 1: that we get to you don't take it for granted
45:16
Speaker 1: because it may not happen for twenty more years. Welcome
45:19
Speaker 1: to baseball. Yes you don't believe me, Call the Cubs.
45:21
Speaker 1: They'll explain it all. Two years or you know the
45:23
Speaker 1: Curse of the Bambino, you know, I mean, how long
45:25
Speaker 1: did that last? Exactly? Boston. There's so many examples, this Senator,
45:29
Speaker 1: this is really fun. I love that we got to
45:31
Speaker 1: pull back the curtain a little bit on the view
45:33
Speaker 1: the book. Most importantly for people listening right now, you
45:36
Speaker 1: can grab it everywhere. It's out name of the book
45:38
Speaker 1: one more time, so people know where to get it.
45:40
Speaker 1: Justice Corrupted, How the Left is weaponized the legal system.
45:43
Speaker 1: You can get it on Amazon, you get it into
45:44
Speaker 1: Barnes and Nobles, you can get it in Books a million,
45:47
Speaker 1: wherever you get your books. You can get it at
45:48
Speaker 1: Sam's Club. But go buy the book, and I think
45:52
Speaker 1: you'll enjoy it. It. Actually it was fun writing it.
45:55
Speaker 1: I like writing books. I try to tell stories. What
45:58
Speaker 1: I try to do in the book is what we
46:00
Speaker 1: try to do in the podcast is, which is I
46:02
Speaker 1: try to take readers behind the curtain. I try to
46:05
Speaker 1: take them behind the scenes to understand what's really going on.
46:08
Speaker 1: And I do think the topic of this book is
46:13
Speaker 1: really important right now, and so I think you'll enjoy it.
46:15
Speaker 1: I think you'll learn from it. I think you'll be
46:18
Speaker 1: equipped when you're talking with your friends and family to
46:20
Speaker 1: know more about what is happening with Biden using the
46:25
Speaker 1: DOJ and the FBI and the IRS and the federal
46:28
Speaker 1: government to target his enemies. And I think that's an
46:30
Speaker 1: incredible threat to the rule of law and to our liberty.
46:33
Speaker 1: Grab the book, make sure you run a review of
46:35
Speaker 1: five star review for the podcast so we can reach
