We were RIGHT-Venezuelan Gangs ARE taking over Apartment Complexes in CO, plus Drones over NJ · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: All right, So let's just start with what everyone has
0:02
Speaker 1: really been talking about, and that is the drones in
0:05
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Now, as I'm doing this show, I'm actually
0:07
Speaker 1: in New York City, and I can tell you here
0:10
Speaker 1: everyone is talking about these drones, and no one feels
0:14
Speaker 1: like the government is telling them the truth and or
0:16
Speaker 1: prepared for drones. Now, I'm going to talk about this
0:20
Speaker 1: coming up in a moment as Senator Cruz is actually
0:23
Speaker 1: going to give us information and intel from what he
0:27
Speaker 1: learned on Capitol Hill on this. Now, there's some other
0:31
Speaker 1: news I want to get to, and that is what
0:33
Speaker 1: I'm being told about what's happening at the northern border.
0:37
Speaker 1: Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government may collapse. We're being
0:43
Speaker 1: told now at any moment, by the time you hear this,
0:46
Speaker 1: there is a chance that his government will collapse and
0:50
Speaker 1: he will no longer be in charge in Canada. And
0:55
Speaker 1: why is this happening is actually pretty clear. President Trump
0:59
Speaker 1: threatened to if Canada can't secure the US Canada border,
1:03
Speaker 1: and that's going to be the top culprit of why
1:05
Speaker 1: this happened. And I want you to understand this because
1:07
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of people lying to you
1:09
Speaker 1: about it. They're not gonna want you to actually know
1:11
Speaker 1: what's really going on.
1:12
Speaker 2: Now.
1:13
Speaker 1: If Trudeau goes down, all right, it is going to
1:16
Speaker 1: lead to elections, and what would happen in those elections
1:20
Speaker 1: is also truly amazing. What's gonna happen is that is
1:25
Speaker 1: where it is going to overwhelmingly favor conservative candidates, those
1:32
Speaker 1: that would be more like Maga conservative candidates that are
1:37
Speaker 1: saying we've tried socialism in Canada and it's not working.
1:41
Speaker 1: Trudeau came in, he did have a mandate. He had
1:45
Speaker 1: a mandate to try socialism. He had a mandate for
1:48
Speaker 1: extreme taxes, he had a mandate for extreme government control.
1:53
Speaker 1: He had a mandate on the issues, for example of guns.
1:57
Speaker 1: And then he overstepped and when he started to lose
2:00
Speaker 1: control of his country was when he was a radical
2:04
Speaker 1: tyrant during COVID and the lockdowns. Have you thought the
2:07
Speaker 1: lockdowns are bad in this country? You have no idea
2:11
Speaker 1: until you talk to people that are on the northern
2:14
Speaker 1: border side and the insanity that happened there. You may
2:17
Speaker 1: remember the truck drivers who like shut down traffic. Why
2:21
Speaker 1: did they do it? Because he was mandating that if
2:23
Speaker 1: you were delivering goods across the border, you had to
2:27
Speaker 1: be vaccinated, even if you stayed in your truck and
2:30
Speaker 1: never got out while you were in Canada. I'll give
2:31
Speaker 1: you a real life example of this. There was a
2:34
Speaker 1: truck driver that I had. I think we even had
2:36
Speaker 1: him on this show if I remember correctly, And that
2:39
Speaker 1: truck driver told his story that he would drive every
2:43
Speaker 1: day from America. That was his route every day from
2:47
Speaker 1: America into Canada. He didn't even get out of his
2:52
Speaker 1: truck when he went into Canada. That is like how
2:55
Speaker 1: efficient they were. He would drive over, he would drop
2:58
Speaker 1: off his load, would put on another trailer, and he
3:01
Speaker 1: would drive back across the border. He's like, why should
3:05
Speaker 1: I have to be vaccinated when I'm not even getting
3:07
Speaker 1: out of my truck. Then part two of this argument
3:10
Speaker 1: started to happen with truck drivers that were saying, look,
3:12
Speaker 1: can we have an exemption to not be vaccinated if
3:16
Speaker 1: we'd promised to never get out of our truck when
3:19
Speaker 1: we're coming across the border. And what did Trudeau say?
3:21
Speaker 3: No?
3:21
Speaker 1: He said, if you want to access Canada in a truck,
3:24
Speaker 1: you've got to be vaccinated. That is where and then
3:27
Speaker 1: the truck drivers also, of course, had to be mandated
3:29
Speaker 1: to be vaccinated. There was no freedom there in Canada
3:32
Speaker 1: either on that issue. That is where he started to
3:35
Speaker 1: get sideways because of how he turned the truck drivers
3:39
Speaker 1: into the villain. He turned them into the terrace. For
3:44
Speaker 1: lack of a better way of putting it, he turned
3:46
Speaker 1: them into public enemy number one again another major problem.
3:52
Speaker 1: Well afterwards he really started to lose control. And so
3:58
Speaker 1: what are most tyrants and dictate and communists do when
4:01
Speaker 1: they start to lose control, They try to basically force
4:04
Speaker 1: the people into even more submission. He raised taxes. He
4:08
Speaker 1: then started to go after massive capital gains taxes to
4:11
Speaker 1: make the people poor. He then started to even go
4:16
Speaker 1: even further by having extreme gun control where recently, what
4:20
Speaker 1: do they do They outlawed hundreds of guns and sweeping
4:24
Speaker 1: radical gun control legislation. That has not worked. He is
4:30
Speaker 1: trying to control his country and the people by fear.
4:33
Speaker 1: That is not working. It is backfiring on him. And
4:37
Speaker 1: I want you to understand that's the reason why I
4:38
Speaker 1: believe that Trudeau's government is going to fall now. This
4:42
Speaker 1: could be a huge point, a big victory for the
4:47
Speaker 1: people of Canada if they get it. Right, and they
4:50
Speaker 1: go back to individuals that are not socialists, that are
4:55
Speaker 1: not communists, that are not dictators in tyrants like true
5:00
Speaker 1: government was. They have a chance to undo a lot
5:03
Speaker 1: of the damage that Trudeau has done to Canada when
5:07
Speaker 1: it comes to trade, you know. Another example is oil
5:10
Speaker 1: and gas. Another example is a Keystone pipeline coming out
5:13
Speaker 1: of Canada. There are a lot of issues where he
5:16
Speaker 1: was a radical not paying attention to the people in
5:19
Speaker 1: Canada and what they needed. There's also issues with healthcare
5:23
Speaker 1: in Canada as well, where they have this socialized medicine
5:27
Speaker 1: and it is turned into a total and complete disaster.
5:31
Speaker 1: You cannot get a lot of top quality care for
5:33
Speaker 1: a lot of major issues there in a timely manner.
5:37
Speaker 1: That is a problem.
5:38
Speaker 4: Now.
5:38
Speaker 1: Is a healthcare cheap yes, can you get it for
5:40
Speaker 1: a basic cold, yes, But if you're dealing with life
5:43
Speaker 1: and death in Canada right now, a lot of people
5:46
Speaker 1: that have money, what do they do. They immediately run
5:49
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. And this is another
5:53
Speaker 1: reason why Trudeau is in real trouble right now. I
5:57
Speaker 1: say all of this to say there is one one
6:00
Speaker 1: person and I actually think should get a lot of
6:02
Speaker 1: credit for what's happening in Canada right now, and that
6:05
Speaker 1: is a guy by the name of Donald Trump. Because
6:07
Speaker 1: I think Trump's doctrine and Trump's mantra has really affected
6:13
Speaker 1: What's going on in Canada right now in a very
6:16
Speaker 1: positive way. And his election has inspired the people of
6:20
Speaker 1: Canada to take back their country and get rid of
6:23
Speaker 1: a leader that is dictating to them instead of representing them.
6:27
Speaker 1: And that is the best part about what we are
6:30
Speaker 1: witnessing right now in Canada. All right now, before I
6:33
Speaker 1: get to this other subject, and it deals with what's
6:36
Speaker 1: happening with gangs and Roora, Colorado, and it is shocking
6:39
Speaker 1: what we have just found out. I want to talk
6:42
Speaker 1: to you real quick about a great Christmas gift for
6:45
Speaker 1: somebody in your list that you love dearly and you
6:48
Speaker 1: want to make sure they can protect and defend themselves. Now,
6:51
Speaker 1: this is an incredible gift, especially if you have a daughter,
6:56
Speaker 1: a grandchild, someone that's maybe eighteen or to twenty one
7:00
Speaker 1: one that can't carry a firearm. Yet, maybe you have
7:03
Speaker 1: somebody that works at a place of business, maybe it's
7:05
Speaker 1: you where you can't carry a firearm. Well, it is
7:09
Speaker 1: an effective way to defend yourself and de escalate a
7:12
Speaker 1: situation without the irreversible consequence of deadly force. Now, look,
7:17
Speaker 1: I have had to use a firearm to save my life,
7:19
Speaker 1: and I'm a huge proponent of the Second Amendment, but
7:22
Speaker 1: I also want to know that I have a way
7:24
Speaker 1: to protect myself and my family members, and that is
7:28
Speaker 1: with a burna less lethal launcher. You've got to check
7:32
Speaker 1: out the video. It is online. I'm going to tell
7:34
Speaker 1: you how to watch it a minute. Because it's designed
7:37
Speaker 1: for easy use by all ages eighteen and over. It
7:40
Speaker 1: is a great compliment owning a firearm, and if your
7:43
Speaker 1: family or you as in a situation where you feel threatened,
7:46
Speaker 1: you can start with less lethal. It is legal in
7:49
Speaker 1: all fifty states, so when I travel, that's a huge
7:52
Speaker 1: perk for me. There are no permits or background checks needed.
7:56
Speaker 1: I own these myself. I have given them to family
7:58
Speaker 1: members and it is a peace of mind knowing I
8:01
Speaker 1: always have it available. The Burno launcher has powerful to
8:04
Speaker 1: terrence like tear gas and kinetic rounds with a sixty
8:08
Speaker 1: foot range. I love that because it gives a lot
8:11
Speaker 1: more distance between me and an attacker than if I'm
8:14
Speaker 1: using pepper spray or a taser. That's one of the
8:18
Speaker 1: reasons why I love having the Burno les Leathal Launcher. Now,
8:22
Speaker 1: I want to save you some money and I also
8:25
Speaker 1: want you to check out the video. Burn is trusted
8:28
Speaker 1: by over five hundred government agencies, police departments, and private
8:32
Speaker 1: security firms as well. They have more than fourteen thousand,
8:36
Speaker 1: four and a half star reviews. On top of that,
8:38
Speaker 1: visit Burnaby rna dot com slash ferguson. You're gonna get
8:43
Speaker 1: ten percent off your purchase. That's by r Ina dot
8:48
Speaker 1: com slash ferguson. Now let's move on to Aurora, Colorado
8:53
Speaker 1: real quick, and I want to remind you that Democrats
8:58
Speaker 1: said that what was happening in Kyle was actually not
9:01
Speaker 1: that big of a deal, that it's not a big
9:04
Speaker 1: deal that you have these gang members that are taking
9:09
Speaker 1: over apartments. Martha Raddick at ABC News, when she was
9:13
Speaker 1: doing an interview with Jade Vance, tried to basically mock
9:17
Speaker 1: Vance for being upset about what we were witnessing in Aurora, Colorado.
9:21
Speaker 1: I'm going to remind you of what she said at
9:23
Speaker 1: the time. Listen carefully.
9:24
Speaker 5: I'm going to stop you. The incidents were limited to
9:27
Speaker 5: a handful of apartment conflicts apartment complexes, and the mayor said,
9:33
Speaker 5: our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns. A
9:37
Speaker 5: handful of problems.
9:40
Speaker 3: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
9:44
Speaker 3: apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
9:48
Speaker 3: And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
9:51
Speaker 3: open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on,
9:55
Speaker 3: and they have every right to be.
9:58
Speaker 1: That was how the media treated it when this story
10:01
Speaker 1: first broke, so fast forward and they said, oh, all,
10:04
Speaker 1: you conservatives are crazy and you guys are over selling
10:07
Speaker 1: it in your conspiracy theorises. All right, so where are
10:10
Speaker 1: we right now? Well, we're vindicated. Number one. Jd. Vance
10:15
Speaker 1: is vindicated. Donald Trump is vindicated. I'm vindicated. Many of
10:20
Speaker 1: you that talked about this are vindicated because fourteen alleged
10:25
Speaker 1: gangbangers have been arrested in Aurora apartment complex. Police in
10:30
Speaker 1: Colorado in Aurora reported that fourteen people have been detained
10:34
Speaker 1: after a home invasion and a stabbing in an apartment
10:37
Speaker 1: complex by a very dangerous then is willing gang. Now
10:43
Speaker 1: that's the same apartment complex that Donald Trump warned of
10:46
Speaker 1: in September when he said it was being taken over
10:49
Speaker 1: by these gang bangers. Trump was attacked by the establishment
10:53
Speaker 1: media for asserting this at the time. The Aura Police
10:58
Speaker 1: Department now posting a message reporting that fourteen were arrested
11:03
Speaker 1: at the Edge at Lowry apartment complex at around two
11:07
Speaker 1: thirty am when officers responded to report of an armed
11:09
Speaker 1: home invasion, stabbing, and then kidnapping. The preliminary investigation, the
11:15
Speaker 1: police said, suggests several suspects entered an apartment occupied by
11:19
Speaker 1: two people. The suspects moved the victims to another apartment
11:23
Speaker 1: on the property, where they were threatened and bound, and
11:27
Speaker 1: adult male sustained a non life threatening stab wound during
11:31
Speaker 1: the incident, meaning he was tortured. The report added. The
11:35
Speaker 1: victims called the police after the alleged gang members released them.
11:40
Speaker 1: This is also the apartment complex that areor of city
11:43
Speaker 1: council members warned had been taken over by members of
11:46
Speaker 1: the dangerous Venezuelan gang that had flooded into the United
11:50
Speaker 1: States of America thanks to Joe Biden's wide open, disastrous
11:53
Speaker 1: border policy. The apartment complex came to national attention back
11:58
Speaker 1: in August when Vidi was released of armed gang members
12:02
Speaker 1: going door to door and demanding residents turn over their
12:04
Speaker 1: rent money to the gang instead of their landlords. The
12:08
Speaker 1: Notorious complex is set to close and evict all residents
12:11
Speaker 1: after the owners found that they could not continue to
12:14
Speaker 1: do business in the area. In agreement with city officials.
12:18
Speaker 1: Residents will get a thirty day notice once the final
12:21
Speaker 1: shutdown date has been determined, but until then, this is
12:25
Speaker 1: what we are dealing with.
12:27
Speaker 4: Now.
12:28
Speaker 1: I will go back to what I said about this earlier,
12:32
Speaker 1: and this is when you know that the Democratic Party
12:36
Speaker 1: has lost their way. It should not be conservatives against
12:41
Speaker 1: liberals on something like this, Okay, it just shouldn't be.
12:45
Speaker 1: This should not be an issue where you have to
12:47
Speaker 1: even have a conversation about it and or fight over it.
12:52
Speaker 1: This is not a situation where you should have to
12:55
Speaker 1: have this type of conversation or demand that Democrats do
12:59
Speaker 1: their damn This should be easy. Unfortunately it is not,
13:05
Speaker 1: and that is because the Democratic Party doesn't seem to
13:09
Speaker 1: care at all about Americans that are being abused by
13:13
Speaker 1: these gangs. Now, I'm going to ask Senator Cruz about
13:18
Speaker 1: this in a moment, because he had a lot to
13:19
Speaker 1: say about the government's response to this but I also
13:22
Speaker 1: want to bring you up to speed on what I
13:24
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, and that is about these drones and what's
13:28
Speaker 1: going on with these drones. All right, So there's a
13:31
Speaker 1: lot to talk about in this and I want you
13:34
Speaker 1: to hear what Senator Cruz had to say about these
13:36
Speaker 1: drones and what he has been told in DC this
13:39
Speaker 1: week by the federal government. Take a listen, all right,
13:42
Speaker 1: So everyone's talking center about these drones, and like there's
13:46
Speaker 1: a lot people are saying, is it a UFO, is
13:49
Speaker 1: it foreign governments spying on us? There's a bigger conversation
13:55
Speaker 1: that I think we need to have, and that is
13:58
Speaker 1: I am genuinely worried now that there are so many
14:01
Speaker 1: Americans that have no trust in the US government. They
14:05
Speaker 1: have no trust in our in our agencies like the
14:08
Speaker 1: FBI or the CIA or the Department of Homeland Security
14:10
Speaker 1: because they've been lied to, whether it's on COVID or
14:13
Speaker 1: whether it's on us having a secure border, like my
14:16
Speaker 1: ORC has said over and over again, or lying to
14:17
Speaker 1: us about saying terists are not coming across the southern
14:20
Speaker 1: border when there's people on the terrace watch list. And
14:23
Speaker 1: so now with this drone thing, there's a genuine concern
14:26
Speaker 1: and paranoia that when the government comes out and says, hey,
14:29
Speaker 1: everything's okay, everybody says, why would I believe you?
14:34
Speaker 4: Look, that's a fair question, And I'm going to start
14:37
Speaker 4: with I've been in the US Senate twelve years. I
14:42
Speaker 4: have the top level classified clearance, I have classified briefings regularly,
14:47
Speaker 4: and I'm here to tell you I have no friggin
14:49
Speaker 4: idea what's up in the sky. It actually is frustrating
14:53
Speaker 4: as all get out. So I'm going to walk you
14:55
Speaker 4: through some of the data points. I'm going to walk
14:57
Speaker 4: you through what I've been told and where the American
15:00
Speaker 4: people are. First of all, we're getting reports all up
15:03
Speaker 4: and down the Eastern Seaboard about people seeing strange things
15:06
Speaker 4: in the sky. For example, Governor Larry Hogan, former governor Maryland,
15:11
Speaker 4: he tweeted out the following quote. Last night, beginning at
15:14
Speaker 4: around nine to forty five pm, I personally witnessed and
15:17
Speaker 4: videoed what appeared to be dozens of large drones in
15:20
Speaker 4: the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland, twenty five
15:25
Speaker 4: miles from our nation's capital. I observed the activity for
15:28
Speaker 4: approximately forty five minutes. Like many of observed these drones.
15:32
Speaker 4: I do not know if the increasing activity over our
15:35
Speaker 4: skies is a threat to public safety or national security,
15:39
Speaker 4: but the public is growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with
15:42
Speaker 4: a complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of
15:45
Speaker 4: the federal government. The government has the ability to track
15:49
Speaker 4: these from their point of origin, but has mounted a
15:52
Speaker 4: negligent response. People are rightfully clamoring for answers, but aren't
15:56
Speaker 4: getting any. We are being told that neither of the
15:59
Speaker 4: White House, the military, of the FBI, or Homeland Security
16:03
Speaker 4: have any idea what they are, where they're coming from,
16:06
Speaker 4: or who is launched or is controlling them, and that
16:10
Speaker 4: they pose no threat. That response is entirely unacceptable. I
16:15
Speaker 4: join with the growing bipartisan chorus of leaders demanding that
16:19
Speaker 4: the federal government immediately address this issue. The American people
16:23
Speaker 4: deserve answers and action now. So that's one data point. Look,
16:29
Speaker 4: Larry Hogan is a serious and credible observer. He's reporting
16:34
Speaker 4: what he's seeing.
16:35
Speaker 2: Now.
16:35
Speaker 4: Here's another tweet. This is from Congressman Tom Keen in
16:40
Speaker 4: New Jersey. Quote, We here in New Jersey are at
16:44
Speaker 4: our wits end with the complete absence of answers on
16:48
Speaker 4: drone activity over our neighborhoods. The federal government should either
16:52
Speaker 4: explain if these are our government's assets in practice, or
16:56
Speaker 4: if these are truly unknown flights respond sensibly remove one
17:01
Speaker 4: from the sky for examination. Either option would lead us
17:05
Speaker 4: to an answer, and the public is rightfully demanding closure here.
17:11
Speaker 4: Nothing about what is occurring is acceptable. Governor Murphy and
17:16
Speaker 4: President Biden need to step up right now. So that's
17:20
Speaker 4: two data points.
17:22
Speaker 3: Now.
17:22
Speaker 4: I got to say, I asked my staff. I'm the
17:24
Speaker 4: incoming chair of the Senate Commerce Committee. The Senate Commerce Committee,
17:27
Speaker 4: among other things, has jurisdiction or the FAA. I asked
17:31
Speaker 4: my team find out from the FAA what the hell
17:33
Speaker 4: these are. Staff had a briefing with the FAA and
17:37
Speaker 4: the FBI and other agencies, and what we were told
17:41
Speaker 4: is there's no evidence that they are drones. But they
17:45
Speaker 4: have been able to verify that what people see are
17:48
Speaker 4: man deviation because there are flight plans and I've heard
17:54
Speaker 4: different people say one staffer is speculated. Quote the ones
17:59
Speaker 4: a New New Jersey or airplanes. The ones that Hogan
18:02
Speaker 4: saw are stars. The reason they all look small is
18:05
Speaker 4: because is not because they're drones, but because they're far away. Now,
18:10
Speaker 4: I don't have any freaking clue. I don't know what
18:14
Speaker 4: the truth is or what the falsity is. And listen,
18:16
Speaker 4: at the end of the day in the Senate, I
18:18
Speaker 4: don't have control of satellites. I don't have the information
18:22
Speaker 4: to assess what is accurate or not. But why is
18:25
Speaker 4: the federal government not directly answering this? You're right, everybody
18:29
Speaker 4: is asking this and their whole variety of theories. Some
18:33
Speaker 4: people are saying, you know what, it's UFOs, it's little
18:35
Speaker 4: green men in the sky above New Jersey. Now, as
18:40
Speaker 4: much as I'd love to make a headline by saying
18:42
Speaker 4: I can guarantee you, I can prove to you right
18:44
Speaker 4: now it is space aliens above New Jersey, I do not,
18:48
Speaker 4: in fact have that information. Now I can't tell you
18:51
Speaker 4: it's not space aliens above New Jersey. I don't know.
18:57
Speaker 4: But the question you asked at the outset, Ben, I
19:01
Speaker 4: think is really very interesting, the number of Americans who
19:05
Speaker 4: don't believe a damn thing they're being told. Why, Because
19:09
Speaker 4: the government, especially with the Biden administration, has demonstrated they're
19:13
Speaker 4: willing to lie over and over and over again. You
19:17
Speaker 4: remember the Chinese spy balloon. Government didn't let anyone.
19:22
Speaker 1: Shoot it down till it Yeah, and they didn't shoot
19:24
Speaker 1: it down until after it had completed what you would
19:27
Speaker 1: describe as a mission.
19:28
Speaker 4: And remember, look, the first government spy balloon we knew about.
19:33
Speaker 4: People up in Montana spotted it and said, hey, what
19:36
Speaker 4: the hell is that thing in the sky, And then
19:38
Speaker 4: the Biden administration reluctantly said, oh, yeah, this is spy
19:42
Speaker 4: balloon's from China. And by the way, we've had a
19:45
Speaker 4: bunch of them before we knew about them. We didn't
19:48
Speaker 4: do anything about them. We let them fly over America.
19:50
Speaker 4: We let them fly over a military basis, We let
19:52
Speaker 4: them spy on America, and we didn't tell you. And
19:56
Speaker 4: it wasn't until some citizens spotted it that we were caught.
20:00
Speaker 4: And then even after that, even after it was public,
20:02
Speaker 4: this is a Chinese spy balloon. It is being maneuvered
20:06
Speaker 4: to fly directly over a military bases to engage in surveillance.
20:10
Speaker 4: The Biden administration decided to let that Chinese spy balloon
20:13
Speaker 4: fly over the entire continental United States, from Alaska all
20:17
Speaker 4: the way across the country, and they finally shot it
20:19
Speaker 4: down over the Atlantic ocean. So all of us experience
20:24
Speaker 4: that when strange things were flying in the sky and
20:27
Speaker 4: the Biden administration knew what they were, they refused to
20:31
Speaker 4: tell us. So I don't think people are being unreasonable
20:35
Speaker 4: when you're getting lots of reports of people look at
20:37
Speaker 4: up seeing strange things in the sky, figuring, you know
20:40
Speaker 4: what the Biden administration knows what these are and they're
20:45
Speaker 4: not telling us. I've heard people speculate it's the military,
20:48
Speaker 4: it's experiments. I have no idea, but I'm frustrated that
20:52
Speaker 4: what I ask I don't get an answer. I will
20:54
Speaker 4: say this, and I do think this is a responsible
20:58
Speaker 4: thing to say. Ordinary citizens should not shoot them down
21:02
Speaker 4: if they are in fact manned aircraft. We don't want
21:05
Speaker 4: someone in a helicap copter getting shot down. So don't
21:08
Speaker 4: shoot at the thing flying above you if you see
21:11
Speaker 4: something flying above you, because you don't want to. You
21:13
Speaker 4: don't want to kill someone. You don't want to knock
21:15
Speaker 4: it down and have it crashed down and injure or
21:19
Speaker 4: kill your neighbor. But I will say that there is
21:22
Speaker 4: a real need for transparency, and it says an enormous
21:28
Speaker 4: amount that the level of distrust is so deep and
21:32
Speaker 4: it's because we've seen this administration lie to the American
21:37
Speaker 4: people over and over and over again and expect them
21:40
Speaker 4: to believe the lies.
21:41
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you real quick about the
21:43
Speaker 1: us CCA. There are over eight hundred thousand Americans that
21:48
Speaker 1: are members of the us CCA, whin well because of
21:52
Speaker 1: what you receive when you're a member. I've had to
21:55
Speaker 1: carry a firearm and I've had to pull the trigger,
21:57
Speaker 1: and i had to save my life one night, and
21:59
Speaker 1: I'm so thank that I was able to exercise my
22:02
Speaker 1: Second Amendment right or I wouldn't be here talking to
22:04
Speaker 1: you right now. But what I will tell you that
22:06
Speaker 1: is even more shocking than that is now our twisted
22:09
Speaker 1: legal system, especially with activist das, are wanting to put
22:13
Speaker 1: law abiding citizens who exercise their Second Amendment rights just
22:17
Speaker 1: like you, behind bars because they cannot stand that so
22:20
Speaker 1: many of us carry a firearm. Well, you've got to
22:23
Speaker 1: protect yourself and protect your Second Amendment rights, and you
22:27
Speaker 1: don't want to lose everything because you actually had to
22:30
Speaker 1: save your own life or the life of someone in danger.
22:33
Speaker 1: And that's why I want you to join the USCCA,
22:36
Speaker 1: because not only do you get access to their protect
22:39
Speaker 1: your Academy where you learn vital skills like precision shooting
22:42
Speaker 1: and how to fortify your home against criminals. But you
22:45
Speaker 1: also get access to the twenty four to seven Critical
22:48
Speaker 1: Response Team and the included benefit of the Self Defense
22:54
Speaker 1: Liability Insurance to make sure you and your family are
22:57
Speaker 1: prepared for anything. Now, I also want to give you
23:00
Speaker 1: a chance to win something amazing. You can win right now,
23:06
Speaker 1: any seventeen hundred dollars to buy any self defense gear
23:09
Speaker 1: that you need before it's too late. How do you
23:12
Speaker 1: do it? Text the word America to eight seven two
23:15
Speaker 1: two two right now. Let's text the word America to
23:18
Speaker 1: eight seven two to two right now to get the
23:20
Speaker 1: uscca's free Life Saving Concealed Carry and Family Defense God
23:24
Speaker 1: and a chance to win seventeen hundred dollars to buy
23:27
Speaker 1: any self defense gear that you need before it's too late.
23:29
Speaker 1: So text the word America eight seven two to two
23:32
Speaker 1: right now. Here's another question, And you mentioned classified briefing,
23:37
Speaker 1: So if you'll explain kind of how this works, because
23:40
Speaker 1: there was a briefing to the media today and the
23:44
Speaker 1: briefing was or the statement that came out from the
23:47
Speaker 1: US government. It was kind of like a KUMBAII universal
23:49
Speaker 1: statement from a lot of agencies under the Biden administration
23:52
Speaker 1: that this is not a threat from some adversary around
23:56
Speaker 1: the world. Everybody calmed down. And then there were some
24:00
Speaker 1: House members that got it classified briefing, And immediately the
24:04
Speaker 1: question was asked by the by the media is well,
24:07
Speaker 1: if there's no threat here, why was it a classified briefing?
24:12
Speaker 1: If you're saying that this isn't awesome, it's not an adversary,
24:15
Speaker 1: So it is that a bunch to do about nothing?
24:18
Speaker 1: Or explain your thoughts on that, and and and why
24:21
Speaker 1: it would have been done in a classified setting.
24:23
Speaker 4: Possibly, Well listen, and we've talked about this on on
24:26
Speaker 4: Verdict previously some time ago. Uh, there was a classified
24:30
Speaker 4: briefing on potential UFO sightings and I was really interested.
24:34
Speaker 4: I'm like, hey, I want to know this. I went
24:35
Speaker 4: down and I read the folder. I got to tell you, Ben,
24:39
Speaker 4: it was the most underwhelming thing I've ever seen, Like, like,
24:43
Speaker 4: if I wanted to reveal a classified secret about it,
24:46
Speaker 4: I couldn't because the whole thing said, uh, some people
24:48
Speaker 4: saw some stuff. They didn't know what it was. Like,
24:50
Speaker 4: that's it. Like there's a bunch of pages of I
24:53
Speaker 4: don't know. Some people said, so look, look, look up
24:56
Speaker 4: in the sky. It's it's a bird, it's a it's
24:58
Speaker 4: a plane, it's a dow. That, by the way, for
25:01
Speaker 4: people old enough to remember, is the opening of Underdog.
25:04
Speaker 4: Which which were you old enough to watch Underdog as
25:07
Speaker 4: a kid? Ben, I was not. No. I actually think
25:11
Speaker 4: this is the band list.
25:14
Speaker 1: There showing glaring right now.
25:18
Speaker 4: So they're looking up in the sky. They go, it's
25:20
Speaker 4: a bird, it's a plane. It's a frog. A frog,
25:24
Speaker 4: not bird, nor plane, nor even frog. Just little old
25:27
Speaker 4: me Underdog. And it was the opening of a dog
25:31
Speaker 4: that would fly through the air like Superman. That that
25:34
Speaker 4: that's what when I was a little kid the cartoon
25:35
Speaker 4: I watched. But to be honest, the classified briefing did
25:40
Speaker 4: not tell you anything more than the opening cartoon from Underdog.
25:46
Speaker 4: So why do they do classified briefings that don't say anything.
25:50
Speaker 4: I don't know. Often the administration does it. I think
25:55
Speaker 4: it is in part a sense that they don't owe
25:58
Speaker 4: the American public leveling with I see all the time.
26:02
Speaker 4: This is something actually both Republican and Democrat administrations do,
26:05
Speaker 4: but the Biden administration is particularly bad about it. They'll
26:08
Speaker 4: classify a briefing just because they don't want to talk
26:10
Speaker 4: about a topic or because they think it's politically embarrassing,
26:14
Speaker 4: not because, Look, things are properly classified. If it's so
26:18
Speaker 4: happened that it was a spy satellite from the American government,
26:24
Speaker 4: you would want to classify that. We don't. We're not
26:27
Speaker 4: in the business of telling people about our spy satellites.
26:30
Speaker 4: Since I have not attended a classified briefing on the drones,
26:33
Speaker 4: I have no idea if it's that or not. People
26:35
Speaker 4: have speculated that, but I have no information one way
26:38
Speaker 4: or the other. What I would just say is, at
26:42
Speaker 4: this point, so many people have reported seeing this, including
26:47
Speaker 4: credible serious people that I think the federal government owes
26:51
Speaker 4: the American people just some level of leveling. Hey, here's
26:56
Speaker 4: what you're seeing, here's what's going on. You know, it's
27:00
Speaker 4: flight test for this, it's that, or whatever it is.
27:04
Speaker 4: And the fact that the people are basically told what
27:08
Speaker 4: you're worried about doesn't count. I mean, listen, you said
27:11
Speaker 4: you're in New York City right now. You said people
27:13
Speaker 4: were talking about all day long. That's everywhere. Quest to me, Yeah,
27:18
Speaker 4: the government ought to frigate answer it and they won't
27:20
Speaker 4: tell members of the Senate. So if they won't tell
27:24
Speaker 4: me that, they don't view it that they owe anything
27:27
Speaker 4: to Congress, they don't view it that they owe anything
27:28
Speaker 4: to the American people. And no wonder so many Americans
27:33
Speaker 4: fundamentally distrust our government when you don't have the government
27:37
Speaker 4: leveling with you and just telling you the basic facts,
27:40
Speaker 4: and by the way, just saying it's nothing to worry about, Well,
27:43
Speaker 4: that's not comforting. They said the same thing with the
27:46
Speaker 4: Chinese spy balloon, which they never would have told us
27:49
Speaker 4: about if it were not for people who spotted it
27:53
Speaker 4: with telescopes and binoculars. And to be clear, by the way,
27:56
Speaker 4: they finally admitted there had been multiple Chinese sky balloons
27:59
Speaker 4: before that. They never told Congress that. They never told
28:02
Speaker 4: me that, not once until the public spotted it. And
28:06
Speaker 4: so when you have a long pattern of lack of
28:10
Speaker 4: candor with the American people, it's unsurprising the American people
28:13
Speaker 4: are deeply distrustful. And that's that's not a healthy thing.
28:18
Speaker 1: No, And let's talk about two other aspects of this,
28:20
Speaker 1: and it deals with national security. You and I several
28:23
Speaker 1: months ago talked about the number of drone incursions that
28:27
Speaker 1: were happening at the southern border, and how the cartels
28:30
Speaker 1: down there are using an incredible number of drones to
28:34
Speaker 1: basically spy on us. Whether it's tens of thousands, right,
28:40
Speaker 1: there's like thirty thousand incursions in this certain time period
28:43
Speaker 1: that we talked about, my memory is correct. And yet
28:47
Speaker 1: they're using them for intelligence to see where we're moving
28:51
Speaker 1: and how we're trying to protect our border, to human smuggle, sex, trafficking,
28:56
Speaker 1: fetinyl drugs, all of it. Put it all together, and
29:00
Speaker 1: that's it. Then we have a second now aspect of drones,
29:04
Speaker 1: and it's what we're witnessing in the Middle East. We
29:07
Speaker 1: are seeing drones that are being used to attack in
29:09
Speaker 1: the Middle East. We've seen drones that have been used
29:12
Speaker 1: in the war between Russia and Ukraine at a level
29:15
Speaker 1: that I think five ten years ago no one could
29:17
Speaker 1: have imagined. And then we had a drone expert on
29:20
Speaker 1: TV who was asked a couple of different things, one
29:23
Speaker 1: about shooting down drones, but two, does our government have
29:28
Speaker 1: what it takes to take out hardened drones, drones that
29:32
Speaker 1: may actually be used by adversaries, whether it's terrorists or
29:36
Speaker 1: other countries, And Scott Jenning absen him the question about, hey, like,
29:39
Speaker 1: if you've got a drone of your house, can you
29:42
Speaker 1: shoot this thing down? And here's what he had to say.
29:44
Speaker 1: It's very interesting some.
29:46
Speaker 4: Of these constraptions by my house. But I am not
29:49
Speaker 4: a counter. I wrote this down a counter drone expert.
29:52
Speaker 4: You got the kudist job I have ever known about it.
29:54
Speaker 6: I have a question, can you shoot these things down?
29:57
Speaker 4: So that allowed? Let me answer that a man who
29:59
Speaker 4: got a gun.
29:59
Speaker 6: No, but go ahead, yeah, legally no, they're treated the
30:02
Speaker 6: same as shooting down an aircraft which would carry even a
30:04
Speaker 6: smaller even your own.
30:06
Speaker 5: Interesting and shoot down your own I'm just saying it
30:10
Speaker 5: wasn't against the law.
30:11
Speaker 3: Hypothetically speaking, would it be dangerous to shoot one?
30:15
Speaker 6: Still a terrible idea for a normal civilian to attempt
30:17
Speaker 6: to shoot on show us these.
30:20
Speaker 4: These two that are closest to you, because these two
30:22
Speaker 4: have been through some things.
30:24
Speaker 6: What happened to these drones? So these drones were taken
30:26
Speaker 6: out of the sky. The way that we test that
30:28
Speaker 6: is in special facilities. We're a kind of drone company.
30:31
Speaker 6: We build auto ating firearms to actually take them down
30:33
Speaker 6: with bullets.
30:34
Speaker 4: Uh.
30:34
Speaker 6: The common method for drones to be taken out of
30:37
Speaker 6: the sky via law enforcement in agencies is with electromagnetic
30:40
Speaker 6: weapons like jammers and spoofers and microwaves, but they don't
30:43
Speaker 6: work against drones that are hardened. And that I think
30:45
Speaker 6: is a really scary undertone to this whole drone mystery
30:47
Speaker 6: is that we lack the kinetic responses necessary with our
30:50
Speaker 6: law enforcement in federal agencies. So the DD does maintain
30:53
Speaker 6: that we said.
30:54
Speaker 1: Drones that are hardened, meaning that they are made to
30:57
Speaker 1: not be taken out of the story.
30:58
Speaker 6: Right. Yeah, And it's a very simple thing to do,
30:59
Speaker 6: like microwaves, to harden a drone from microwaves, find it
31:02
Speaker 6: is a copper.
31:02
Speaker 2: Teation a drone that size.
31:05
Speaker 5: Could you put a weapon on that you.
31:06
Speaker 6: Could put you could carry a couple of pounds a
31:08
Speaker 6: weapon being explosives? Absolutely wow, So I mean that's.
31:12
Speaker 4: Not big at all.
31:13
Speaker 5: Could you hear it coming?
31:13
Speaker 3: Is it loud?
31:14
Speaker 6: They're pretty loud, but you don't know where it's coming from.
31:16
Speaker 6: It's actually a pretty terrifying experience.
31:18
Speaker 2: See that's why that's what all these people I mean
31:20
Speaker 2: are hearing.
31:20
Speaker 6: I mean, well over the weekend.
31:23
Speaker 1: I mean, if you just stop there, what my big
31:25
Speaker 1: concern is now center is we are seeing drones use
31:28
Speaker 1: them Middle East, we are seeing terrorists use them, We're
31:31
Speaker 1: seeing the cartels use them. We're seeing all these up.
31:33
Speaker 1: We don't have any answers. And then this drone expert
31:36
Speaker 1: is saying, quote, we lacked the kinetic response from law
31:39
Speaker 1: enforcement to combat hardened drones that could be used against
31:43
Speaker 1: anyone anywhere in the country.
31:46
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, I've been down on the southern border where
31:48
Speaker 4: border patrol on boats on the Rio Grande River that
31:52
Speaker 4: that they will use guns to take down drones from
31:55
Speaker 4: the cartels. But an ordinary citizen can't do that. And
32:00
Speaker 4: the problem is you maybe can do that with one
32:03
Speaker 4: or two, but you can't do that with a thousand.
32:05
Speaker 4: You can't do that with five thousand, or ten thousand,
32:07
Speaker 4: or twenty thousand or thirty thousand. And I will say
32:10
Speaker 4: that that's one of the dangers of the directions warfare
32:13
Speaker 4: is going, is that we're seeing more and more synchronized
32:16
Speaker 4: drones being used in warfare, drones being used for surveillance,
32:20
Speaker 4: and the danger of hardened or weaponized drones is real
32:24
Speaker 4: and significant. And let me be clear, I want to
32:26
Speaker 4: reiterate I have no evidence that these are drones that
32:31
Speaker 4: are over the eastern seaboard. But the Biden administration is
32:36
Speaker 4: doing nothing to assuage people's fears. They're not leveling with
32:40
Speaker 4: the American people. They're telling them just hey, don't worry
32:43
Speaker 4: about it. Nothing to see here, and based on their
32:47
Speaker 4: past pattern of lying, that does not inspire confidence.
32:52
Speaker 1: Final question on this, John Kirby came out and said
32:55
Speaker 1: this about the drones, trying to, I guess, make people
32:58
Speaker 1: feel better. It didn't make me feel better, but he
33:01
Speaker 1: said fellow authorities are now investigating one hundred tips on
33:06
Speaker 1: drone activity. Here's what the White House National Security Communications
33:10
Speaker 1: Advisor said.
33:11
Speaker 2: Well, I would repeat what we've said yesterday and last
33:14
Speaker 2: night in a multiple agency statement that we have taken
33:19
Speaker 2: a serious look at this. We have gone through five
33:22
Speaker 2: thousand some odd sightings, we have added detection capabilities to
33:25
Speaker 2: the region, We've even sent up visual observers, and everything
33:30
Speaker 2: we're seeing to date, our assessment tells us that these
33:34
Speaker 2: are commercial drones, hobbyist drones, or law enforcement drones, all operating.
33:38
Speaker 1: Legally and lawfully. Nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. I
33:43
Speaker 1: just think this goes back to that issue we talked
33:45
Speaker 1: about the very beginning to bring it back full circle.
33:48
Speaker 1: Why why would anybody believe him even if he is
33:50
Speaker 1: saying spot on it's true when there's so many unanswered questions.
33:55
Speaker 4: And by the way, that's completely different from what the
33:57
Speaker 4: FA and the FBI briefed my staff where they said
34:00
Speaker 4: they were manned aircraft. So now John Kirby is standing
34:03
Speaker 4: up saying their drones, which is it? Like what is
34:06
Speaker 4: When you have multiple and conflicting answers, people naturally distrust them,
34:11
Speaker 4: and it's why you get lots and lots of conspiracy theories.
34:15
Speaker 4: But part of the problem with conspiracy theories is everything
34:18
Speaker 4: we're told is a conspiracy. Six months later, proof's true.
34:22
Speaker 1: Speaking of conspiracy theories that six months ago they said
34:25
Speaker 1: we're not real, or five months or four months or
34:27
Speaker 1: three months, even two months ago, and then it becomes real.
34:31
Speaker 1: That brings me to the second big topic that we
34:33
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, and let's go back to Colorado. Let's go
34:38
Speaker 1: back to what the White House and the media said.
34:41
Speaker 1: They said that it was not happening, that there were
34:45
Speaker 1: not gangs that had been taking over apartment complexes and
34:51
Speaker 1: running these criminal gangs out of them in Aurora, Colorado.
34:55
Speaker 1: They said this was a lie, that it wasn't true.
34:58
Speaker 1: Then they said, well, it's only happening in a couple
35:02
Speaker 1: of them, not that many, so it's not a big deal.
35:05
Speaker 1: They change their story again, and now we were right
35:08
Speaker 1: all along. Legal alien invasion in Colorado, number one is
35:12
Speaker 1: real and number two, you have fourteen detained in Aurora,
35:16

35:20
Speaker 1: gang members. Police are now staying saying when individuals were
35:24
Speaker 1: not only taken, but they were tortured.
35:29
Speaker 4: Well, Martha Radits at ABC dismissed this, said, oh, it's
35:32
Speaker 4: only a handful of apartment complexes, which with the classic
35:36
Speaker 4: contempt of the elite left looking down on little people
35:41
Speaker 4: that live in apartment buildings who are being terrorized. But
35:44
Speaker 4: this story broke this week, the headline from Fox News
35:47
Speaker 4: fourteen detained in armed Aurora, Colorado home invasion are likely
35:53
Speaker 4: illegal gang members. Home invasion occurred at the edge at
35:57
Speaker 4: Lowry apartments, where viral video showed gang members earlier this year.
36:01
Speaker 4: So the media tell told us, don't believe your lying eyes.
36:04
Speaker 4: Oddly enough, the same thing they're saying about the drone
36:06
Speaker 4: sightings of the sky. But here's what Fox reported quote.
36:12
Speaker 4: Police at Aurora, Colorado say the overnight armed home invasion
36:16
Speaker 4: at a local apartment complex that resulted in fourteen suspects
36:20
Speaker 4: being detained was quote, without question, a gang incident. Just
36:26
Speaker 4: before two thirty am on Tuesday, police were called to
36:28
Speaker 4: the edge of Lowery apartments for a reported armed home
36:33
Speaker 4: invasion in which the victims were kidnapped and assaulted, the
36:37
Speaker 4: Aurora Police said. Aurora Police Department Chief Todd Chamberlain said
36:42
Speaker 4: during the Tuesday news conference that thirteen to fifteen people,
36:47
Speaker 4: mostly males with some females, entered an apartment where two
36:50
Speaker 4: people were inside. Police say the suspects took the migrant
36:54
Speaker 4: victims to another apartment at the same location, where the
36:58
Speaker 4: victims were threatened and bound. One of the victims, a man,
37:02
Speaker 4: sustained a stab wound but is expected to survive. Police
37:06
Speaker 4: said both of the victims are still at the hospital
37:08
Speaker 4: for treatment for their injuries. At some point, authority said,
37:13
Speaker 4: the suspects released the victims, who then called nine one
37:16
Speaker 4: one quote. They were pistol whipped, they were beat they
37:21
Speaker 4: were mistreated. Chamberlain said, so does that fall in the
37:25
Speaker 4: category of torture for me? Yeah, it does. That's the
37:29
Speaker 4: chief of police in Aurora, Colorado, and he went on
37:34
Speaker 4: to say, quote, this is without question a gang incident.
37:38
Speaker 4: I don't know which gang they're affiliated with. Yes, Chamberlain
37:43
Speaker 4: said that quote, there is a high assumption that they
37:47
Speaker 4: may be affiliated with the TDA, the trender Aragua gang,
37:50
Speaker 4: but he stopped short of declaring which gang in particular
37:53
Speaker 4: was involved because he could not be certain. At this time,
37:57
Speaker 4: we were told this wasn't true, and yet it is true.
38:04
Speaker 1: Well, and let's go back to Martha Raddick because this
38:07
Speaker 1: was when she was getting into it with JD. Vance
38:09
Speaker 1: on this issue, and I want you to hear what
38:13
Speaker 1: she had to say. And again, this goes back to
38:15
Speaker 1: the lies. When people don't trust the media or the
38:18
Speaker 1: government when they lie.
38:18
Speaker 5: To us, stop you. The incidents were limited to a
38:23
Speaker 5: handful of apartment CONFLICTX apartment complexes, and the mayor said,
38:29
Speaker 5: our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns a
38:33
Speaker 5: handful of problems.
38:36
Speaker 3: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of
38:39
Speaker 3: apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
38:43
Speaker 3: And Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's
38:46
Speaker 3: open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on,
38:50
Speaker 3: and they have every right to be.
38:52
Speaker 1: By the way, if it's your apartment complex, I think
38:54
Speaker 1: it is a big deal when you have it being
38:56
Speaker 1: taken over by the government.
38:58
Speaker 4: Stop lives in opulent She's a multi millionaire. It's not
39:02
Speaker 4: her problem. Her home wasn't taken over by Venezuelan gang,
39:06
Speaker 4: so why should she possibly be concerned? And listen that
39:10
Speaker 4: liberal contempt for ordinary Americans is a big part of
39:15
Speaker 4: the reason we saw the overwhelming election results we did
39:19
Speaker 4: in November.
