HOW DO WE WIN THE MIDTERMS? "ITS THE ECONOMY", DO NOT FORGET IT! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: I had a meeting yesterday with some political minds around
0:04
Speaker 1: the country and we were talking about the upcoming midterm elections,
0:08
Speaker 1: and we were talking about our concerns, and our concerns
0:11
Speaker 1: are that we are going to take the bait as
0:13
Speaker 1: conservatives and allow Democrats to reframe with this is election.
0:17
Speaker 1: This election is actually about this election right now, it
0:21
Speaker 1: should not be about Donald Trump. The midterm elections have
0:24
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Donald Trump, and Democrats are trying
0:27
Speaker 1: to make it about Donald Trump at all costs because
0:29
Speaker 1: they cannot stand on what's actually happening, what they're doing
0:33
Speaker 1: to our economy. Now, the New York Time just came
0:37
Speaker 1: out with a new poll that shows support for Donald
0:40
Speaker 1: Trump remains steady. I'm not surprised by this, okay, because
0:45
Speaker 1: people that love Donald Trump, I'm one of them, are
0:48
Speaker 1: supporting the president and it is and his approval rating
0:52
Speaker 1: has remained stable through the whole summer, especially after the
0:57
Speaker 1: Marlago raid and the new investigation quote unquote in New York.
1:01
Speaker 1: He has continued, by the way, to play a major
1:03
Speaker 1: role in the midterm elections. Forty four view him favorably,
1:09
Speaker 1: fifty three percent view him unfavorably. Now, this poll was
1:12
Speaker 1: conducted earlier this month after the news about the Justice
1:16
Speaker 1: Department's investigation of Trump and classified documents broke. This also
1:22
Speaker 1: tells you that this election, they do believe their best
1:25
Speaker 1: option and their best opportunity is to make this election
1:28
Speaker 1: some sort of a referendum on a guy that's not
1:30
Speaker 1: in office, Donald Trump. When you have a fifty three
1:33
Speaker 1: percent unfavorable this is how the Democrats want to move forward. Now,
1:38
Speaker 1: the warning and the long conversation that I had with
1:42
Speaker 1: several other brilliant political commentators is we have to remind
1:47
Speaker 1: people what this election is actually about, and we need
1:49
Speaker 1: to do a better job of reframing the narrative to
1:54
Speaker 1: not make this about Donald Trump, but to make this
1:57
Speaker 1: about the facts and what's happened under Biden. This election,
2:01
Speaker 1: this midterm election, in other words, needs to be about
2:04
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. He is the president, about his policies because
2:07
Speaker 1: they are his policies. And interest rates just went up again.
2:13
Speaker 1: The Federal Reserved Chairman Jerome Powell had this to say
2:16
Speaker 1: about how bad the economy is and how bad inflation is,
2:20
Speaker 1: and this is what this election should be about. Listen,
2:23
Speaker 1: people are seeing their wage increases, their wage increases eaten
2:27
Speaker 1: up by inflation. So if your family is one where
2:31
Speaker 1: you spend most of your paycheck every paycheck cycle on gas, food, transportation, clothing,
2:38
Speaker 1: basics of life, and prices go up the way they've
2:42
Speaker 1: been going up, you're in trouble right away. You don't
2:44
Speaker 1: have a cushion. And this is very painful for people
2:48
Speaker 1: at the lower end of the income and wealth spectrum.
2:50
Speaker 1: So that's what we're hearing from people is you know
2:53
Speaker 1: very much that inflation is really hurting. This is the election,
2:59
Speaker 1: this is the subject of the election. This is what
3:02
Speaker 1: we should be talking about. The clip I just played
3:05
Speaker 1: you is the clip you need to be sharing. And
3:07
Speaker 1: I'll say it again if you've not shared our podcasts,
3:10
Speaker 1: share them when we give you this because people need
3:13
Speaker 1: to understand, do not be distracted by the well look
3:17
Speaker 1: at Donald Trump and the Donald Trump stuff, right, because
3:20
Speaker 1: we know that that has an impact on independence. We
3:23
Speaker 1: need to remind people of the words coming from the
3:26
Speaker 1: Federal Reserve chairman. People are saying their wages increases eaten
3:30
Speaker 1: up by inflation. This is a very painful time for
3:33
Speaker 1: people at the lower end of the income and the
3:35
Speaker 1: wealth spectrum. That is what he said why would we
3:39
Speaker 1: not just remind people of this? All right, I gotta
3:44
Speaker 1: take a moment to talk to you real quick about
3:46
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. If you want to know what the left
3:49
Speaker 1: real plan is for your kids, just look at the
3:53
Speaker 1: reaction to what Patriot Mobile did in multiple school districts
3:56
Speaker 1: in Texas. The left literally lost their mind. Is now
3:59
Speaker 1: at hacking the company Now. Patriot Mobile is America's only
4:04
Speaker 1: conservative mobile phone provider, and they are a force for
4:08
Speaker 1: conservative values. That's because they take a portion of your
4:11
Speaker 1: bill every month that nuts are costs to you, and
4:14
Speaker 1: they fund conservative causes and candidates who believe in the
4:17
Speaker 1: sanctity of life, freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment. Plus,
4:21
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile saves you, your family, and even your business money.
4:26
Speaker 1: All you gotta do is go to Patriotmobile dot com
4:29
Speaker 1: slash ferguson or call them to find out how much
4:32
Speaker 1: you can save nine seven to Patriot that's nine seven

Speaker 1: promo code ferguson that's nine seven two Patriot or Patriotmobile
4:45
Speaker 1: dot com slash ben. Now, there's a chief economists, an
4:51
Speaker 1: economic advisor, who went on TV this morning from London
4:57
Speaker 1: this after the FEDS again hiked interest rates by zero
5:00
Speaker 1: point seventy five percent to help quote calm down and
5:04
Speaker 1: tamp down inflation. And I want you to hear what
5:07
Speaker 1: he had to say about the rate hikes and how
5:10
Speaker 1: they are going to be is what he described as
5:12
Speaker 1: a violent shock to the economy. This, they say, we'll
5:16
Speaker 1: create a huge problem and the real push into a
5:20
Speaker 1: real deep recession. Let's talk about this with Muhammad Hilarian,
5:26
Speaker 1: chief economic advisor at Alan's also the president of Queen's
5:29
Speaker 1: College at Cambridge University. Muhammed, you have been talking about
5:33
Speaker 1: this warning we could get to this point for more
5:35
Speaker 1: than a year. Now here we are, and you know,
5:39
Speaker 1: I'm struck by what you call just a real tragedy,
5:42
Speaker 1: that this is an impossible decision that the FED has
5:44
Speaker 1: had to make and it sounds like we'll continue to
5:46
Speaker 1: have to make. Yes, Puppy, it is tragic because we
5:51
Speaker 1: could have avoided this, but unfortunately the FED did not
5:54
Speaker 1: act early enough. So instead of just tapping the brakes,
5:58
Speaker 1: it is slamming on the rags, which means, by the way,
6:02
Speaker 1: this is on CNN, this is what the election needs
6:05
Speaker 1: to be about. This is a chief economic advisor, a
6:08
Speaker 1: fellow at Cambridge, a guy who just said, the Biden
6:11
Speaker 1: administration and the FED screwed up. The Biden administration screwed
6:19
Speaker 1: this up and could have stopped this from happening. The
6:21
Speaker 1: FED screwed this up and could have stopped this from happening.
6:24
Speaker 1: And he's saying this, by the way, from London, means
6:27
Speaker 1: that this is not just about higher borrowing costs. This
6:31
Speaker 1: is about a high risk of a recession. This is
6:35
Speaker 1: about four or one k's valuations being destroyed. So there's
6:40
Speaker 1: a lot of what Chad Pockle's pain, but I would
6:45
Speaker 1: call significant damage to Americans because the FED has been
6:49
Speaker 1: so late. You know, Senator Elizabeth Warren has been sounding
6:54
Speaker 1: the alarm bells. And this, by the way, for a
6:56
Speaker 1: long time. By the way, I love this. She goes
6:58
Speaker 1: at Bobby Harlowe, right, she goes to Elizabeth Warren. Why
7:02
Speaker 1: aren't she talking about Elizabeth Warren. I'll tell you the
7:04
Speaker 1: real reason why she's talking about Elizabeth Warren now is
7:06
Speaker 1: because she is looking at Elizabeth Warren is the possible
7:10
Speaker 1: next person and the Democratic Party that might move on
7:13
Speaker 1: past Joe Biden. And she says, well, you know, there's
7:16
Speaker 1: others brilliant Democrats that have been warning about this. Elizabeth
7:20
Speaker 1: Warren is an individual that voted for all of the
7:23
Speaker 1: massive government spending under this administration. She's in someone that
7:28
Speaker 1: quote supported right the Inflation Reduction Act that had nothing
7:33
Speaker 1: to do with actually dealing with inflation. It was a
7:35
Speaker 1: green alternative energy bill. And here they are trying to
7:39
Speaker 1: rewrite history on CNN, saying, when you hike rates like
7:44
Speaker 1: this over and over again, you are increasing the chances
7:48
Speaker 1: of a recession and increasing the chances that you put
7:51
Speaker 1: potentially millions of folks out of work. And her argument
7:54
Speaker 1: is that that is more painful than even sustained high inflation.
7:58
Speaker 1: Now experts differ on whether they agree with but that
8:00
Speaker 1: is her assessment. And she called the rate hike yesterday extreme,
8:03
Speaker 1: and I love this, by the way, she's now calling
8:06
Speaker 1: a rate hike extreme. Why is she saying this, because
8:09
Speaker 1: let's just blame somebody else for what you did. And
8:12
Speaker 1: why did we have these rate hikes, you may ask,
8:15
Speaker 1: It is because of the massive spending that we did
8:18
Speaker 1: during COVID and the entire time during this new administration.
8:23
Speaker 1: We have been spending trillions, not billions, not millions, but
8:27
Speaker 1: trillions of dollars on government handouts. It's a problem, and
8:32
Speaker 1: we were warning that it was a problem. We were
8:34
Speaker 1: warning that too much money was being printed, and people
8:37
Speaker 1: warned and Democrats didn't listen, and they just spent another
8:41
Speaker 1: trillion plus dollars on the Inflation Reduction Act that the
8:44
Speaker 1: Congressional Budget Office said will not actually reduce inflation. It
8:49
Speaker 1: was a government pork barrel spending bill, and that's how
8:54
Speaker 1: they got the votes to get it past because everybody
8:57
Speaker 1: was saying, sure, I'll take some of that cash, I'll
9:00
Speaker 1: take some of that money. I will be a part
9:05
Speaker 1: of this. This is, by the way, what we should
9:09
Speaker 1: be telling people about. You want to know something else
9:11
Speaker 1: that's happening in the economy. This happened today. You remember
9:16
Speaker 1: that big story about the ongoing baby formula shortage. Right,
9:20
Speaker 1: the media has moved on from that because it makes
9:23
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in the White House look bad, it makes
9:25
Speaker 1: Democrats look bad and out of touch. But the FDA
9:29
Speaker 1: now reports that they are now admitting in their own
9:32
Speaker 1: report that they had a major slow response to the
9:36
Speaker 1: formula crisis because the FDA under the Biden administration didn't
9:41
Speaker 1: take it seriously and did you know that there is
9:44
Speaker 1: still a baby formula shortage in this country. There is,
9:49
Speaker 1: so we have to tell that story because the media
9:52
Speaker 1: is not going to do it. This election, again has
9:55
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Donald Trump. The Democrats are trying
9:58
Speaker 1: to make it about Donald Trump, and we need say
10:00
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, he's not the president. You guys are
10:03
Speaker 1: in charge. You have the House, you have the Senate,
10:05
Speaker 1: you're in charge. You guys can't even give us baby formula.
10:10
Speaker 1: Don't talk about Donald Trump, talk about baby formula. It's
10:15
Speaker 1: really depressing, honestly, because this should never got to the
10:19
Speaker 1: point that it is now. And trying to find formula
10:21
Speaker 1: even now, you know, it's really hard to go to
10:24
Speaker 1: the store and see empty shelves, and whenever you do
10:27
Speaker 1: find a can, it is so expensive that you just
10:29
Speaker 1: can't afford to be able to feed your child. And
10:33
Speaker 1: it's extremest. How expensive is it fifty six I can
10:39
Speaker 1: and that only lasts my child one week. Fifty six
10:42
Speaker 1: dollars a can. That's how much baby formula costs under
10:46
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. This mother who has a seven month old,
10:50
Speaker 1: who's been dealing with a baby formula crisis the entire
10:53
Speaker 1: time she's been a mother said, it's really depressing, honestly,
10:57
Speaker 1: because it should never have gotten to the point with that,
11:01
Speaker 1: and with what it is now and trying to find
11:04
Speaker 1: baby formula even now, you know, it's really hard to
11:07
Speaker 1: go to a story and see empty shelves, and then
11:09
Speaker 1: when you do find it, it is at the point
11:11
Speaker 1: where I can barely afford to feed my child. These
11:15
Speaker 1: are the issues, by the way, that the American public
11:18
Speaker 1: genuinely care about, if we just remind them about these
11:22
Speaker 1: issues and talk about where we are because of this administration.
11:28
Speaker 1: MSNBC this morning, Linda Thomas Greenfield, she came out talking
11:33
Speaker 1: about Iran, right because that's a great distraction, what's happening
11:37
Speaker 1: in Iran instead of what's happening in America. Andrea Mitchell,
11:43
Speaker 1: she also made it all about Iran this morning, saying,
11:46
Speaker 1: we got you know, we got out of the deal unilaterally,
11:49
Speaker 1: referring to the Iran Nuclear Deal. It just has been
11:51
Speaker 1: an incredible policy failure. We've got a problem. Now. They
11:55
Speaker 1: want you to worry about Iran right now. What's happening
11:58
Speaker 1: in Iran, and again that has nothing to do with
12:00
Speaker 1: what's happening here in this country domestically, but they will
12:03
Speaker 1: focus on international issues just like this, and get ready,
12:07
Speaker 1: they're gonna start focusing more in Ukraine, They're gonna start
12:09
Speaker 1: focusing more on Russia, They're gonna start focusing more on China.
12:13
Speaker 1: Because that is a distraction from you actually having a
12:17
Speaker 1: real conversation with your family and friends about the fact
12:20
Speaker 1: that we live now in a country under the Biden
12:22
Speaker 1: leadership where baby formulas fifty plus dollars a can and
12:26
Speaker 1: you can't find it. So let's distract with I Ran.
12:30
Speaker 1: Unless you need more, I know you've got to run
12:32
Speaker 1: over to the UN I want to ask you about Iran. Though.
12:34
Speaker 1: We're seeing some extraordinary pictures in the streets of Iran
12:37
Speaker 1: of women removing their headscarves, cutting their hair, all going
12:41
Speaker 1: back to the death of a young woman in the
12:43
Speaker 1: custody of what's called the morality police there. How significant
12:48
Speaker 1: are these pictures. We don't see this very often. They're significant,
12:51
Speaker 1: but I think back to two thousand and nine when
12:52
Speaker 1: we saw an uprising and the US did not stand
12:56
Speaker 1: up and do something about it. Obviously, it's terribly complicated,
13:00
Speaker 1: but they can be crushed very easily, especially because we
13:06
Speaker 1: understand that the Supreme Leader of the Ayatollah is frail
13:10
Speaker 1: and may actually be sicker than it has been acknowledged.
13:14
Speaker 1: That could lead to of course, the IRGC, the Revolutionary Guard,
13:20
Speaker 1: the military unit which controls the economy and everything else
13:23
Speaker 1: there and is still demanding demanding revenge for the Solomon
13:30
Speaker 1: the assassination and the US let's kill. That could lead
13:35
Speaker 1: to an even a further hardening of a policy. And
13:39
Speaker 1: the fact that we listen to this carefully. By the way,
13:42
Speaker 1: they're trying to distract you with this issue in a
13:44
Speaker 1: ran of women cutting your hair and like standing up
13:46
Speaker 1: for women and all of that, and I understand it,
13:49
Speaker 1: but that is an distraction from what's happening this country. Now.
13:51
Speaker 1: The next thing that she says is in fact something
13:54
Speaker 1: we should be talking about with its midterm elections, and
13:57
Speaker 1: that is the foreign policy disaster that's allow out for
14:00
Speaker 1: Russia to invade Ukraine, for the Taliban to control Afghanistan,
14:05
Speaker 1: for the debacle that was US pulling out of Afghanistan.
14:08
Speaker 1: And listened very carefully to what Andrea Mitchell says about
14:14
Speaker 1: the Iran deal, and this is what has happened under
14:17
Speaker 1: the Biden administration. Now, this is what she's about to
14:19
Speaker 1: say is actually something we should talk about in the
14:22
Speaker 1: mid terms. Not about the women's issue in Iran right
14:26
Speaker 1: not about the woman in Iran who died in custody.
14:28
Speaker 1: We should be talking about what she's about to say
14:31
Speaker 1: right now, because we were stupid. The Biden administration was stupid.
14:35
Speaker 1: The Obama administration was stupid. You are weeks away from
14:40
Speaker 1: them having enough nuclear fuel for at least one weapon
14:43
Speaker 1: when we had at least eyes on. It was an
14:46
Speaker 1: imperfect deal, but at least we had the YUHN inspectors
14:50
Speaker 1: and video and we understood more of what they had.
14:54
Speaker 1: And then with the build up since we got out
14:56
Speaker 1: of the deal, you know, latterly, it's just been an
15:00
Speaker 1: incredible policy failure. So we've got real problems there. We
15:04
Speaker 1: got real problems there. Yeah, they may get nuclear weapons.
15:06
Speaker 1: How did they get so close? We sent them billions
15:08
Speaker 1: of dollars in cash under Joe Biden and Barack Obama's leadership.
15:12
Speaker 1: That is what this election should be about. A rand's
15:16
Speaker 1: about to get a nuclear weapon, folks. Let that sit
15:18
Speaker 1: in now. Before I get into more of this story,
15:21
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you and tell you about
15:23
Speaker 1: our good friends at Legacy Precious Medals Without them the
15:26
Speaker 1: show wouldn't be possible. And if you have not looked
15:30
Speaker 1: at gold and silver as a way to protect your
15:32
Speaker 1: hard earned dollars against what the happening on Wall Street
15:34
Speaker 1: with inflation, it's time for you to call them and
15:38
Speaker 1: get the free Investor's Guide. Why because so many around
15:41
Speaker 1: the world are now using gold and silver, and historically
15:44
Speaker 1: they have for decades as a protection, a hedge against inflation,
15:48
Speaker 1: which is exactly what we're dealing with right now. If
15:50
Speaker 1: you're terrified to look at your retirement account, your four
15:53
Speaker 1: one case statement because of what's happening on Wall Street,
15:56
Speaker 1: that's all the more reason why you should call and
15:58
Speaker 1: get the investors got in gold and silver, protect your
16:01
Speaker 1: hard earned money and diversify. Call them and get the
16:04
Speaker 1: free Investor's Guide from Legacy Precious Medals one eight six
16:08
Speaker 1: six seven five one twenty two eighteen one eight six
16:13
Speaker 1: six seven five one twenty two eighteen or online at
16:17
Speaker 1: Legacy PM investments dot com. The media does not want
16:24
Speaker 1: you to realize how catastrophic the failure of our foreign
16:28
Speaker 1: policy under Biden is going to be. When a Rand
16:31
Speaker 1: has a nuclear weapon, we're being told we're weeks away
16:34
Speaker 1: from that being a reality. How do they get the
16:36
Speaker 1: money to do this? They got it literally from the
16:39
Speaker 1: Biden administration when he was with Barack Obama. What are
16:44
Speaker 1: we going to do stop it? Apparently nothing. Now that
16:47
Speaker 1: should be an election issue, the foreign policy disasters of
16:51
Speaker 1: this administration. But on TV they want you to think
16:57
Speaker 1: about this from a woman's rights perspective, not from a
17:00
Speaker 1: nuclear war perspective. And so that's the narrative they're pushing
17:05
Speaker 1: because they know women's rights and the liberals saying, but
17:07
Speaker 1: we sent up for women while the Republicans don't. In
17:10
Speaker 1: our body, our choice and Rob Wade is something that
17:14
Speaker 1: might connect with liberal voters, especially feminist, especially women. I
17:19
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you, Ambassador, about the inspiring scenes in
17:21
Speaker 1: the streets of Iran over the last couple of days,
17:25
Speaker 1: largely young people going to the streets protesting the morality police.
17:30
Speaker 1: There's actually something called the morality police in Iran. Young
17:33
Speaker 1: woman died in the custody of that group. But really
17:36
Speaker 1: it's a taste and a thirst for freedom. Will the
17:40
Speaker 1: United States support these people in their efforts freedom because
17:44
Speaker 1: they have been in the past disappointed by the United
17:47
Speaker 1: States and had their movements squashed. This is amazing. They're
17:52
Speaker 1: talking about women in the streets of Iran and we're
17:56
Speaker 1: weeks away from Iran getting a nuclear weapon. But this
17:59
Speaker 1: is what they want this election to be about. Well,
18:03
Speaker 1: let's talk about what America's going to do support the
18:05
Speaker 1: women I Ran. There's nothing we can do support the
18:07
Speaker 1: women I Ran. To be honest with you, we have
18:09
Speaker 1: we can't even get our own citizens out of Afghanistan.
18:13
Speaker 1: Why what would make you think that we could have
18:17
Speaker 1: some major impact here, right, some significant impact on the
18:22
Speaker 1: women and the street of Iran, when we should be
18:25
Speaker 1: talking about Iran getting a nuclear weapon, Right, that's what
18:30
Speaker 1: it should be about. But hey, here we go, folks, Right,
18:37
Speaker 1: here we go. No big deal. We'll go down the
18:40
Speaker 1: women's rights movement. We'll talk about how great the women's
18:43
Speaker 1: rights movement is. We'll talk about how America must stand
18:48
Speaker 1: up and stand strong with these women, which is again
18:51
Speaker 1: completely meaningless. And the bigger scheme of things that Iran
18:54
Speaker 1: is on the verge of a nuclear weapon because of
18:56
Speaker 1: the policies of the Biden administration. And listen under the
19:00
Speaker 1: ambassador's response, by the power of a run, you know,
19:03
Speaker 1: the death of this young woman was extraordinarily sad. It
19:07
Speaker 1: shows what this country is capable of squashing the expression
19:15
Speaker 1: of frustration that the young Iranians are feeling. So we
19:20
Speaker 1: are supportive of them, of their rights to protests, and
19:27
Speaker 1: we will they know that they can depend on our
19:30
Speaker 1: voice in condemning the Iranian government, condemning their actions against
19:37
Speaker 1: these young people, and they should expect that if they
19:42
Speaker 1: don't listen to their youth, they're going to see these
19:45
Speaker 1: demonstrations continue to happen over and over again. Pretty extraordinary pictures,
19:51
Speaker 1: aren't they make you? Pretty extraordinary pictures? Isn't it? I
19:54
Speaker 1: mean ours, you're in NBC headlines extraordinary pictures. Right, women
19:59
Speaker 1: make up more than fifty percent of the world's population.
20:01
Speaker 1: Women rights are human rights, and we have to support
20:04
Speaker 1: them wherever their rights are being stamped on. That is
20:06
Speaker 1: your message from your government. Okay, so what happens when
20:11
Speaker 1: Iran gets a nuclear weapon? And what do you think
20:13
Speaker 1: they're going to do to women's rights? Then I'm just curious.
20:17
Speaker 1: I'm asking for fifty percent of the population in Iran
20:22
Speaker 1: if they get nuclear weapons, you think America is going
20:24
Speaker 1: to be able to stand up for women's rights in Iran?
20:27
Speaker 1: Probably not, But these are the issues and these are
20:31
Speaker 1: the distractions that are taking place right now, and we
20:36
Speaker 1: have to really really focus in here and have a
20:41
Speaker 1: real conversation about what's happening in this country now. You
20:47
Speaker 1: also got to go back to the priorities here. You
20:52
Speaker 1: look at what has happened this country in the last
20:54
Speaker 1: year year and a half. Parents has started to stand
20:57
Speaker 1: up domestically right in this country for their kids. They're
21:03
Speaker 1: standing up for their right to have an opinion about
21:05
Speaker 1: their kids and what they're being taught or i should
21:07
Speaker 1: say indoctrinated in schools with right how they're being indoctrinated.
21:13
Speaker 1: I mean, these are real things now that are happening.
21:17
Speaker 1: And what is the left saying, was the media saying
21:20
Speaker 1: ahead the midterms, Oh, these parents are out of control,
21:23
Speaker 1: These parents are radical, These parents are the problem. They're
21:30
Speaker 1: trying to ban books in schools from being read to
21:35
Speaker 1: your children, where we're trying to indoctrinate them on things
21:37
Speaker 1: like LGBTQIA agenda and telling your kids they can choose
21:43
Speaker 1: to be the opposite sex of what in fact they
21:45
Speaker 1: actually are. And that's exactly what they're doing ahead of
21:49
Speaker 1: the midterms. They're telling you that the right, right, the
21:52
Speaker 1: magarepublicans that Trump lovers again. They need Trump to win
21:57
Speaker 1: an election. They need an enemy, they need a villain,
22:00
Speaker 1: and they're telling you that if you support Donald Trump,
22:03
Speaker 1: those people are domestic terrorists. You've got to stop them.
22:06
Speaker 1: And that's exactly why c And ended an entire five
22:10
Speaker 1: minute montage about free speech in America is under attack
22:15
Speaker 1: from who? From Donald Trump of course, his supporters, and
22:17
Speaker 1: the domestic terrorists that are involved with them. The January
22:21
Speaker 1: six people. Free speech is under attack in America. It's
22:25
Speaker 1: a narrative that's persistent for years on the right, and
22:28
Speaker 1: conservatives have a point when it comes to college campus controversies,
22:32
Speaker 1: but they're missing one major component, and that's the subject
22:35
Speaker 1: of this week's upon for the Review. Now, on the surface,
22:38
Speaker 1: free speech is something that should unite liberals and conservatives.
22:42
Speaker 1: After all, it's a constitutional right and it protects all Americans.
22:45
Speaker 1: The problem, of course, is that we've seen the politicization
22:48
Speaker 1: of its application and a ton of situational ethics leading
22:52
Speaker 1: to what might be called free speech for me, but
22:55
Speaker 1: not for thee. On the right, they've long been complaints
22:58
Speaker 1: about conservatives getting disinvited, are pulling out from speeches on
23:01
Speaker 1: college campuses after pressure from student protests. And I'm not
23:04
Speaker 1: just talking about professional partisan provocateurs like a Colti and
23:08
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro. I'm talking about top tier officeholders like then
23:12
Speaker 1: Vice President Mike Pence, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, academics
23:16
Speaker 1: like Christina hoff Summers and Charles Murray, and even journalists
23:19
Speaker 1: like Jason Riley, to name just a few. Now, these
23:22
Speaker 1: campus controversies get covered mostly in conservative media, but as
23:26
Speaker 1: it turns out, they aren't solely a problem for speakers
23:29
Speaker 1: on the right, as Georgetown's Free Speech Tracker details. For example,
23:33
Speaker 1: historian John Meetcham was canceled from speaking at Alabama's Stamford College.
23:37
Speaker 1: Former Obama era DHS had J. Johnson was disinvited from
23:40
Speaker 1: his speech at Vasser for his role in deporting on
23:42
Speaker 1: document immigrants. There even attempts to ban President Biden from
23:45
Speaker 1: speaking at Notre Dame on the basis of his political beliefs.
23:48
Speaker 1: And that's not all. A twenty eighteen Gallop poll found
23:51
Speaker 1: that sixty one percent of college students say that the
23:54
Speaker 1: climate on campus prevents some people from expressing their views
23:57
Speaker 1: because others might find them offensive. I love right conservatives
24:01
Speaker 1: are the ones that are being attacked on college campuses,
24:04
Speaker 1: not liberals. But hey, isn't it nice to come out
24:09
Speaker 1: there and put all this data together and tell you
24:12
Speaker 1: that the real issue and the real problem is in
24:16
Speaker 1: fact the right, the conservatives. It's not the liberals, it's
24:22
Speaker 1: the conservatives. The conservatives are your public enemy. The Trump
24:26
Speaker 1: supporters are the enemy. And this is how the Democrats
24:30
Speaker 1: plan to win in the midterms, or at least reduce
24:33
Speaker 1: the number of Democrats that are going to lose. This
24:37
Speaker 1: is how they deal with the carnage that is coming
24:39
Speaker 1: their way because they know it's coming their way. But
24:41
Speaker 1: they're changing the narrative quickly. And I say it again,
24:45
Speaker 1: let's stop taking the bait. The issues in this country
24:50
Speaker 1: are clear right now. The issues in this country are obvious.
24:55
Speaker 1: The economy is everything. It's the economy stupid, it's parental,
25:00
Speaker 1: it's hyperinflation, it's tax increases, and it's crime. Those are
25:05
Speaker 1: the issues, and it's the border. Those are the issues
25:08
Speaker 1: we need to focus on if we're going to win.
25:12
Speaker 1: We got to remind people just how extreme, by the way,
25:14
Speaker 1: the women of the Democratic Party are. Now you notice
25:18
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Donald Trump and MAGA right now,
25:20
Speaker 1: because that's what they want us to talk about. What
25:23
Speaker 1: we should be talking about is the psychotic nature of
25:26
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. And just look at Stacy Abrams. Remember
25:30
Speaker 1: Stacy Abrams, she ran for governor and Georgia loss and
25:33
Speaker 1: refused to concede the election. Yeah, she has now come
25:36
Speaker 1: out and this is sick, radical and extreme. She has
25:40
Speaker 1: now said that a fetal heartbeat is a quote manufactured
25:45
Speaker 1: sound to outlaw abortion Georgia Democrat goodmentorial candidates. Stacy Abrams
25:54
Speaker 1: aired her abortion extremism this week when she suggested that
26:00
Speaker 1: a fetal heartbeat is nothing more than a manufactured sound
26:04
Speaker 1: designed to control a woman's body. She said, there is
26:09
Speaker 1: no such thing as a heartbeat at six weeks. She
26:12
Speaker 1: said this before a panel. It is a manufactured sound
26:18
Speaker 1: design to convince people men have a right to take
26:22
Speaker 1: control of a woman's body. So now it's a sexistue too.
26:29
Speaker 1: These are the same people that also tell you you
26:31
Speaker 1: can't tell a man or a woman what sex they
26:33
Speaker 1: actually are, right. These are the same people that can't
26:36
Speaker 1: tell the difference between a man and a woman, who
26:38
Speaker 1: when it's convenient, all of a sudden, will throw down
26:41
Speaker 1: happily on what it is to be a woman and
26:44
Speaker 1: men stay out of our lives. There's no such thing
26:48
Speaker 1: as a heartbeat. It's six weeks. She said it on
26:51
Speaker 1: stage surrounded by other African American men and women at
26:55
Speaker 1: an event there. It is to take control of her
27:10
Speaker 1: body and take it away from her. There's no such
27:13
Speaker 1: saying as a heartbeat at six weeks. This is what
27:16
Speaker 1: the election needs to be about. I think most people
27:20
Speaker 1: would agree that that is psychotic now. Abrams was taking
27:25
Speaker 1: aim at a twenty nineteen Georgia law that banned most
27:28
Speaker 1: abortions in the state. After doctors can detect a fetal heartbeat,
27:33
Speaker 1: which usually happens around six weeks, and since most women
27:37
Speaker 1: do not learn of their pregnancy in the first six weeks,
27:39
Speaker 1: the law effectively bans all abortions in the Peach State.
27:42
Speaker 1: Democrats say though the law faced numerous hurdles, it finally
27:47
Speaker 1: went into effect this year after the Supreme Court overturned
27:50
Speaker 1: Roe v. Wade. So when that happens, you just come
27:52
Speaker 1: out and say this is a lie. Right, you can't
27:56
Speaker 1: do this. She was also on CNN and Abrams promise
28:00
Speaker 1: that abortion will be front and center of her campaign, saying, quote,
28:04
Speaker 1: women deserve full citizenship in the United States. Full citizenship.
28:10
Speaker 1: You don't have that now, I thought you did. Nope,
28:12
Speaker 1: we don't. We're just making up crap as we go.
28:15
Speaker 1: And certainly in the state of Georgia, they are being
28:17
Speaker 1: denied that because of the six week ban, we are
28:22
Speaker 1: driving not only doctors and nurses out of the state,
28:25
Speaker 1: we're likely going to drive jobs away too, And that
28:29
Speaker 1: should be terrifying to anyone, regardless of your political persuasion.
28:32
Speaker 1: It's not terrifying, by the way, that you're killing innocent babies. No, No,
28:36
Speaker 1: what's terrifying to the left they claim is that women
28:41
Speaker 1: aren't full citizens. What's terrifying they claim is that we
28:44
Speaker 1: might drive a job out of a state. Right, we
28:48
Speaker 1: might drive a doctor and nurses out of the state.
28:51
Speaker 1: That should be terrifying, not that we're dismembering children. That's
28:56
Speaker 1: totally fine with the left. A recent poll by the
29:00
Speaker 1: conducted by the Atlanta Journal Constitution in the University of
29:02
Speaker 1: Georgia found that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp had widened his
29:08
Speaker 1: lead over Abrams, while Republican Herschel Walker had overtaken Democrat
29:12
Speaker 1: Senator Warnock in the US Senate race as well. Kemp
29:17
Speaker 1: received fifty percent and Abrams received forty two. Now what
29:21
Speaker 1: is this pole tells us? It tells us if you
29:22
Speaker 1: make the election about the issues, if you make the
29:25
Speaker 1: elections about the economy, if you make the elections about
29:31
Speaker 1: these things, which is exactly what these candidates are doing,
29:35
Speaker 1: you can have grand success on election day. But if
29:39
Speaker 1: you allow the left to make this election about MAGA
29:42
Speaker 1: and domestic terrorism and Donald Trump and Marlago, it inspires
29:48
Speaker 1: a left to show up and vote. It inspires those
29:52
Speaker 1: in the middle to get involved in the process. These
29:56
Speaker 1: are the stories we need to be telling about the
30:00
Speaker 1: extremism of the Democratic Party. Representative to lead should be right,
30:05
Speaker 1: says well the quiet part out loud that we've all
30:08
Speaker 1: known for a long time about Israel. She said in
30:12
Speaker 1: an actual video this week. This is a Congress one
30:15
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party that you can't support Israel period. Yes,
30:20
Speaker 1: this is anti Semitism at its finest from the Democratic Party.
30:25
Speaker 1: These are the things we need to be reminding people
30:27
Speaker 1: of I want you all to know that among progressives
30:32
Speaker 1: has become clear that you cannot claim to hold progressive
30:34
Speaker 1: values yet back Israel's Aparteipe government. And we will continue
30:40
Speaker 1: to push back and not accept this idea that you
30:45
Speaker 1: are progressive, progressive except for full esteem any longer. There
30:50
Speaker 1: it is, yes. I want you all to know that
30:53
Speaker 1: among progressives has become clear that you cannot claim to
30:56
Speaker 1: hold progressive values yet back Israel's apart government. She wants
31:01
Speaker 1: to banish all Jews and put them into the sea.
31:05
Speaker 1: She wants to kill them all. She says, we will
31:08
Speaker 1: continue to push back and not accept the idea that
31:10
Speaker 1: you are a progressive accept for Palestine any longer. So
31:15
Speaker 1: there you go. We hate, we hate the Jews. We
31:20
Speaker 1: want to push them into the sea. That is the
31:22
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. This is what we should be telling people.
31:27
Speaker 1: You have baby formula that is still gone. You have
31:31
Speaker 1: mothers saying that they are in depression because they can't
31:34
Speaker 1: find it, and the cost has gone to above fifty
31:37
Speaker 1: dollars a can you have a rand that is on
31:41
Speaker 1: the verge weeks away. I'm gonna quote Andrew Mitchell, hard
31:45
Speaker 1: core liberal at NBC News, the fact that we are
31:48
Speaker 1: weeks away from them, referring to ir Ran having enough
31:51
Speaker 1: nuclear fuel for these weapons, when we had at least
31:56
Speaker 1: eyes on it was a imperfect deal, but at least
31:58
Speaker 1: we had eyes on and now where the verge? But
32:00
Speaker 1: what are they really talking about women's rights? Yes, that's
32:03
Speaker 1: what we have to do. We got to support women's rights,
32:05
Speaker 1: whether they're being stamped on. So let's not talk about
32:08
Speaker 1: the national security threat here. You've got chief Economic Advisors
32:14
Speaker 1: and the Fed Chairman agreeing that there we are in
32:17
Speaker 1: a violent economy right now, that it is going to
32:21
Speaker 1: create a very high risk of a major recession in
32:24
Speaker 1: this country because the Feds have had to hike interest
32:28
Speaker 1: rates by zero point seventy five percent to help tame inflation,
32:31
Speaker 1: and that doesn't seem to be working. That's what this
32:36
Speaker 1: is about. The Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell saying people
32:41
Speaker 1: are seeing their wages increase eating up by inflation. It
32:43
Speaker 1: needs to be played by every person running for office
32:46
Speaker 1: all over the country on TV and remind them that
32:48
Speaker 1: these are the policies of the Biden administration. People are
32:52
Speaker 1: seeing their wage increases, their wage increases eaten up by inflation.
32:57
Speaker 1: So if your family is one where you spend most
33:00
Speaker 1: of your paycheck every paycheck cycle on gas, food, transportation, clothing,
33:06
Speaker 1: basics of life, and prices go up the way they've
33:10
Speaker 1: been going up, you're in trouble right away. You don't
33:12
Speaker 1: have a cushion, and this is very painful for people
33:16
Speaker 1: at the lower end of the income and wealth spectrum.
33:18
Speaker 1: So that's what we're hearing from people is you know
33:21
Speaker 1: very much that inflation is really hurting. If that's not enough,
33:26
Speaker 1: let me just leave you with this. There was a
33:29
Speaker 1: man this week who drove over a Republican teen and
33:34
Speaker 1: admitted he doesn't want to lose his job, right his life,
33:40
Speaker 1: his house because of bond problems. So this forty one
33:44
Speaker 1: year old man who admitted to murdering a Republican teenager
33:48
Speaker 1: over politics at the start of the week said this
33:51
Speaker 1: week in court that he didn't want to lose things
33:52
Speaker 1: his life due to bond because of the charges. Shannon,
33:57
Speaker 1: that's the dude's name, was charged with the vehicular homicide
34:01
Speaker 1: not murder, and leaving the scene of a crash involving
34:04
Speaker 1: a death after he hit and killed a young man
34:09
Speaker 1: on Sunday, But that sink in the motive, simple motive.
34:21
Speaker 1: This dude didn't like the politics of the team, thought
34:26
Speaker 1: he was a conservative. The man said he had a
34:32
Speaker 1: tough time understanding the charges against him and the killing
34:35
Speaker 1: of an eighteen year old saying I've got a job
34:38
Speaker 1: of life, a house and things I don't want to
34:39
Speaker 1: see go to the wayside. Family that are very important
34:42
Speaker 1: to me, is what he told the judgments court filing.
34:46
Speaker 1: Citing court documents, the man told police a deathtin from
34:50
Speaker 1: an argument over politics. But yes, remember where the extremists
34:54
Speaker 1: on the right, right, where the maga Republicans are domestic terrorists.
35:00
Speaker 1: This dude killed an eighteen year old over a fight
35:05
Speaker 1: with politics. The man was drunk, and he claimed the
35:11
Speaker 1: eighteen year old was part of a Republican extremist group
35:14
Speaker 1: who was urging others to attack the man after a
35:18
Speaker 1: political argument. The man even admitted to striking the pedestrian
35:22
Speaker 1: with his car because he had a political problem with
35:26
Speaker 1: the pedestrian, believe that the pedestrian was calling people to
35:29
Speaker 1: come get him. He admitted to leaving the scene of
35:33
Speaker 1: the incident, returning shortly after where he called nine one one.
35:39
Speaker 1: This is the left. You want to know what this
35:41
Speaker 1: election is about? This is it. This is the election,
35:46
Speaker 1: not all the other crap they're trying to distract you with.
35:49
Speaker 1: So don't forget how we win and we better not
35:53
Speaker 1: screw this up. Please make sure you share this podcast.
35:57
Speaker 1: It's an important one on how we win the midterms.
36:00
Speaker 1: Make sure other people hear it. These are the stories
36:03
Speaker 1: that matter, This is what we should be talking about.
36:06
Speaker 1: And I will see you back here tomorrow
