Why the Celebrity Elite is ALL IN for Kamala Harris · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: One of the things about this presidential campaign. And I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: get asked this question actually a lot recently, so I'm
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: gonna explain it. People are like, dude, why are people
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: like Mark Cuban getting into this election and why are
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: they like just going all in the way that they're
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: the way that they're going all in to try to
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: convince us that Kamala Harris is the best. It's a
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: good question, it's a fair question, and the answer is
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: actually fairly simple. You can be rich and you can
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: buy a lot of stuff and you can choose who
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: your candidates are if you've given up money, like Soros
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: is a great example of this. Right, you can buy influence.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: But then there's another thing that there's a lot of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: people that are rich that they don't mind just buying influence. Right,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: here's one hundred thousand, I'll get my picture with you,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what I want you to do,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: a lot of people do that. But then there's like this,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I'm bored. Mark Cuban is in that category, I think clearly,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: where he's just bored and he wants to be important
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: more than he is now. He's right, He's ended Shark Tank,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: for example, he's not coming back for another season, and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: it's kind of like he's like, all right, I'm I
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: want something big, and I want something next and I
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: want it now. So what does that look like? Well,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I can answer that question. He wants to be in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: an administration. There's no way in hell he's going to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: get in the Trump administration. So instead of the Trump administration,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: what he's decided to do is go all in for
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Comala Harris because he doesn't just want to be a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: mega donor. He didn't want to just raise money. He
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: didn't want to just get invited the inauguration.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Like.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: He wants a job, a government job that he can
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: be like influential and important. Like that's really what this
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: pulls down to. That's what he wants. And so that's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: why he's going on TV and being this surrogate for
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: her and really making an a dobles of himself. Like
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: it's embarrassing now just how much this dude is pandering
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: just to try to get into the administration. I mean,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and it's clear that that's like his whole goal here.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: It's it is so transparent in the way that he
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: is willing to just throw everything else to the wayside,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: like everything, he's just like, screw it, I'll say whatever,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: tell me what to do and I'll do it, Like
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: just just tell me what to do, and I'm all in.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And it really is kind of hilarious because when you
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: see him doing this, and you hear him doing this,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: like all you can do is laugh. It's like, dude, like,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: are you that desperate to get in this administration and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to feel like, you know, like you're really important? And
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's funny, y'all, Like it really really
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: is funny, and and it's pandering in this form that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: is just like, dude, you're it's like, try not to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: look so desperate. This morning, he was on CNBC this morning,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: he went full blown desperate, and it's it's clear that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: he wants this, Like I don't know what she's promised him.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like Treasury secretary or you know,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the World Bank or a major ambassadorship, but he's been
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: promised something that he wants that he can't buy, and
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: so it's the unobtainable thing, right, he can't buy it,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: and he really wants it. And he was on this
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: morning and it didn't go well I let you hear
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: part of this back and forth where he's trying to
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: defend Kama Harris's and Walt's economic agenda and record. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I want you to listen to this spend because this
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: is embarrassing even for Mark Cuban.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Mark, if it's just an example of how both I
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: can never remember election where both sides fall back on
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: either oh yeah, they don't really mean that, or well,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you know it's gonna be gridlocked, so none of that
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: self is really gonna app.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: What did Joe, what did I say they had to
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: do with that had to do with either of those things.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: I told you this is an election where both sides
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: have to constantly distance themselves from the They still support
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the candidate, but they distanced themselves from certain parts of
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the candidate's platform.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you don't have to agree with everything from
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: any candidates.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Just yeah, it's just it's just I've never seen an
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: election we're.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Both But Joe, what I'm talking Let's go back to
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: what I was talking about.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Let's go back to what I was talking about.
• 4:34
  Speaker 7: You didn't address that at all.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Took my he took my filibuster question to healthcare. So
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: I don't you know that's your own.
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: For no, you asked.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: You asked what you asked me specifically, what are the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: things about her that I agree with that I support?
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I told you other things. I was asking what other
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: things that she's proposed in the past would cause you
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: to campaign against her if she went through with it?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look what she did four years, just
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: like Donald Trump and the oil thing. I mean, there's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: lots of things. You know that candidate's change over period
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: of years. That's one of the great things about Kamala Harris.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: She's not an ideology. She is open minded. That's why
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: she's changed. Donald Trump thinks he knows everything. He doesn't change.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So to be clear, Mark Cuban says that one of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: the greatest things about Kamala Harris is that she flip
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: flops on every single issue, So therefore you should support her.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: That's what the dude just said. You should just oh, well,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: people like, she's not an ideologue, so she flip flops
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: on everything. She changes on everything. That's what was just
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: said there, folks, So get excited because she's a flip
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: flopper and you don't know what she really wants to do,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: and that's a good thing because she's constantly changing all
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: of the time, and that's good. I have a little
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: bit of.
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: Just I don't know.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I was as I watched this, I'm like, are you
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: kidding me? That's what you're now saying, Like this is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: how well you're willing to go. And then he also Isaac,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I'm not a Democrat, dude, You're you're for a Marxist
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: socialist communists in Kama Harris, who what's price controls? And
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you're this rich guy that's completely out of tech reality.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Or you're just a hack that to sell out because
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you want a position you can't buy and the only
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: way to get it is to help her get elected.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So listen to this on him trying to convince me
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: he's not a Democrat, Like, give me a break.
• 6:27
  Speaker 9: Hey, Mark, what do you think happens if this is
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: as close as the polls are.
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: Suggesting that it will be.
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: I don't know if we believe the polls are not,
• 6:34
  Speaker 9: But if it does come down to a matter of
• 6:38
  Speaker 9: you know, a few thousand or maybe ten thousand votes
• 6:41
  Speaker 9: over those very key districts that you just talked about
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: in some very key swing states, what happens?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: See what happened in twenty twenty.
• 6:50
  Speaker 7: Yeah, sent to.
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: Happen in twenty twenty.
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: And how does that play out?
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously there's a greater than zero chance that
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: something happens, but I hope not. And you know that
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump is going to claim it's not a fair election,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: and you know, do whatever he does. At least he's
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: not in office with the power to, you know, try
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to force a January sixth like situation.
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: If it's a close vote and it goes to Donald
• 7:17
  Speaker 9: Trump while Democrats behave the same.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not a Democrat. I mean, you know, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: won't be happy, but I'll accept it. You know, I
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: really don't care what Democrats do. I don't care what
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: independent or republics to do. I just want what's best
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: for the country.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I love it. You mean, like burn down cities like
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, When you're burning down police stations and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you're on TV like, oh, it's mostly peaceful protests. Is
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: that what you're talking about? I I the idea that
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he's not a Democrat when you're when you're out there
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: hawking Kamala Harris every day twenty four to seven, because
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you're so desperate for some sort of government appointment, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: then you're like, I'm not a Democrat, like, dude, you'reint
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a Republican because I know what we believe in. You
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: don't believe what we believe. Like you're advocating for a
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: woman that's trying to destroy this country with price controls,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: which you know don't work, but you still want this
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: job so bad you're like, screw it, I will sell
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: my soul to commerce in the Democratic Party. And then
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you're like, well, I'm not a Democrat, like dude, shut up.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Like it is amazing these guys that will just say
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell it takes to get power, and he's
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: at the top of that list. Now, Like this is
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: just pandering, and I hope that people actually see through it.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I really do, Like I hope that people see this
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: and they realize, like, just how absurd this really is,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: because it really is absurd. Donald Trump on how he
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: plans to control sanctuary cities. Here's what he had to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: say in an exclusive conversation he had in a barber
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: shop this morning on Fox and Friends. Take a listen
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: this fellow right here.
• 8:58
  Speaker 10: It used to be a law enforcement perc of the
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: what would you say is the most important issue facing
• 9:03
  Speaker 10: the country right now.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: For me, it's the border, right right?
• 9:07
  Speaker 11: Is the border?
• 9:08
  Speaker 12: I agree?
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: And how to control that, how to keep illegal migrants
• 9:15
  Speaker 13: from coming into the country very important for me. And
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: if I had a question to ask about, it would
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: be how do we do the how do we control
• 9:27
  Speaker 13: the city sanctuary city because New York is the.
• 9:31
  Speaker 14: We get rid of them. We get rid of them
• 9:33
  Speaker 14: because they're sanctuary. You know what, They're for criminals and
• 9:36
  Speaker 14: all over the country the criminals go there. But you're right,
• 9:40
  Speaker 14: you know, the polls are showing that inflation and the border,
• 9:43
  Speaker 14: not the border. If the border's third, they have inflation
• 9:46
  Speaker 14: and the economy as the number one and number two issue.
• 9:49
  Speaker 14: I disagree. I think inflation is massive, the economy is massive.
• 9:54
  Speaker 14: But the border to me is like it's the fabric
• 9:57
  Speaker 14: of our country. And we had the strongest or in
• 10:00
  Speaker 14: recorded history.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Four years ago.
• 10:02
  Speaker 6: You had a board.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: You didn't have the problems that you have now.
• 10:05
  Speaker 14: Last week they announced that we had thirteen thousand and
• 10:09
  Speaker 14: ninety nine convicted murderers released from.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Jails all over the world.
• 10:12
  Speaker 14: You know, it's not South America, it's all over the world,
• 10:14
  Speaker 14: including South America.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: So I agree with you.
• 10:18
  Speaker 14: I think the biggest problem we have is the border.
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: It's something and it's also the hardest thing to solve
• 10:24
  Speaker 14: and the only way you can solve. But you have
• 10:26
  Speaker 14: to get the criminals, the murderers.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: You got to get them out.
• 10:28
  Speaker 14: You got to get them out fast before they prey
• 10:31
  Speaker 14: on our people.
• 10:31
  Speaker 13: And that was big question for me because I'm a
• 10:35
  Speaker 13: retired New York.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: City so in New York we've run across that.
• 10:40
  Speaker 14: Well, the other problem you have is that you're not
• 10:42
  Speaker 14: allowed to do your job. And when you were there,
• 10:46
  Speaker 14: you go back ten fifteen years, when you were there,
• 10:49
  Speaker 14: you were allowed to do your job. New York's finance,
• 10:51
  Speaker 14: there's still New York's Vince, but they're not allowed to
• 10:53
  Speaker 14: do their job.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: They're allowed to do their job. Donald Trump having a
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: very honest conversation about what it's going to look like
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: for Donald Trump and for Americans if this actually happens.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania still workers this morning, Trump saved our job by
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: imposing tariffs on China, turning the narrative in Pennsylvania on
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: what the left has been saying that if Donald Trump
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: gets in office, all these Americans still workers are going
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to lose their job. Guess what still workers are like, Uh,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: we've been losing our jobs under the Biden Harris regime.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Sylvania is a swing state. I think, honestly, based on
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: the map I've seen so far this year, that Pennsylvania
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: there's a very very very very very very good chance
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: that Pennsylvania is going to be the swing state that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: will probably push the election to Harris or to Donald Trump.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: I've been looking at the models. I'm a geek like that,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'll admit it. And what I've been seeing it's pretty
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: clear that this is what it's going to look like.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I want you to hear what these steel workers had
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to say as they were interviewed on Fox as well
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: this morning about the truth about Donald Trump.
• 12:12
  Speaker 15: So joining us.
• 12:13
  Speaker 16: Now, those steel workers who joined Trump on the stage.
• 12:17
  Speaker 16: You have Brian Pavlac, you have Richard Tiger, you have
• 12:20
  Speaker 16: Andy Macy and Glenn Thomas. Hey, guys, morning, Okay, So
• 12:26
  Speaker 16: what was it like Richard?
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: I'll start with you.
• 12:28
  Speaker 16: What was it like to be up there on stage
• 12:29
  Speaker 16: to meet him and to have a chance to talk
• 12:32
  Speaker 16: to him and represent the steel industry, like.
• 12:36
  Speaker 17: Go on a lifetime experience. I was glad I got
• 12:38
  Speaker 17: to get my members up there and they got to
• 12:40
  Speaker 17: see him. It was like all about my members to
• 12:43
  Speaker 17: me and meet mister Trump. Mister Trump kind of saved
• 12:46
  Speaker 17: all of our jaws.
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: So, Brian, what was the key point for you where
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: you said, I want to do this endorsement among the
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: rank and file, and I want to do it in
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: front of a crowd.
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was.
• 12:58
  Speaker 12: It was a great experience. I'm glad that he accepted it,
• 13:02
  Speaker 12: the endorsement, and I just wanted the people to know
• 13:05
  Speaker 12: as a still worker for Trump. I want people to
• 13:08
  Speaker 12: know that all are still workers in the Man Valley
• 13:11
  Speaker 12: or for President Trump.
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: So Glenn, I'm curious. Typically union workers in your industry,
• 13:17
  Speaker 10: we know them to endorse Democrats. Why Donald Trump this
• 13:21
  Speaker 10: go around?
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: Well, historically we've all been Democrats. A couple of us
• 13:26
  Speaker 8: up here a third generation steel workers, and we had
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: a trade case years ago that our ex International President
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: Tom Conway was fighting against the Chinese for illegal dumping.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: And when President Trump stepped in and he imposed those
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: taffs on the Chinese, I firmly believed that he saved
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: the steel industry, not only in our country, but the
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: Moon Valley where many of us have lived for close
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: to thirty years.
• 13:55
  Speaker 6: Andy, how about you?
• 13:56
  Speaker 16: Why are you supporting Trump?
• 13:59
  Speaker 18: Well, number one is to protect the jobs in our valley.
• 14:03
  Speaker 18: I'm a third generation steel worker. I've been through those layoffs.
• 14:08
  Speaker 18: It's not fun. I've seen three meals shut down in
• 14:11
  Speaker 18: the valley in the eighties. We have three meals left
• 14:15
  Speaker 18: in the valley. I don't want to see those shut down.
• 14:18
  Speaker 18: And he made a firm commitment. When I asked him
• 14:21
  Speaker 18: with a handshake, mister President, after the election, will you
• 14:26
  Speaker 18: do what you can to keep our Mond Valley viable
• 14:31
  Speaker 18: in the steel industry. He gripped my hand and confirmed
• 14:37
  Speaker 18: to me through that handshake that he says I will
• 14:41
  Speaker 18: do that.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: So Andy, tell me.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: Tell me that. So you take him at his word, Andy,
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: tell me about the business. We don't have a steel
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: worker's background. If US steel is the quality that is
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: the world standard, why is US steel struggling? Is it
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: the labor cost, the virtual slave labor of these other
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: countries that you're competing.
• 15:02
  Speaker 18: With, Competition still coming in from other countries. We're a
• 15:09
  Speaker 18: world leader. We are.
• 15:11
  Speaker 12: We have the.
• 15:13
  Speaker 18: Most efficient coke plant in the world. We meet environmental
• 15:18
  Speaker 18: standards which are very tough to meet in Allegheny County.
• 15:22
  Speaker 18: They're getting more strict. We meet those, we exceed those.
• 15:27
  Speaker 18: Our steel is the best steel that can be made.
• 15:32
  Speaker 18: We want to continue that. We have a pending sale
• 15:36
  Speaker 18: coming up. Uh And the problem we have is our
• 15:40
  Speaker 18: international leaders aren't meeting with the CEO from US Steel
• 15:47
  Speaker 18: and from npon and over the past year we've learned
• 15:53
  Speaker 18: facts about this that it's not sitting well with the
• 15:56
  Speaker 18: membership because we are behind the sale. But our international
• 16:01
  Speaker 18: needs to get to the table, get the facts and
• 16:05
  Speaker 18: then bring it to the membership instead of the membership
• 16:09
  Speaker 18: taking it to our international leaders.
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: Hey brought about that Japanese company that's trying.
• 16:15
  Speaker 14: To buy it.
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: Brian, we got about fifteen seconds. I'm just curious if
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: Kamala here is wins, what does that mean for your industry.
• 16:23
  Speaker 18: We're done.
• 16:24
  Speaker 12: I think we're done. It's going to be tough because
• 16:26
  Speaker 12: she even said if she's elected president, she's going to
• 16:29
  Speaker 12: take off the tariffs, all tariffs, steel, tariffs, all kinds
• 16:33
  Speaker 12: of terres. He called it the tax on the American people.
• 16:37
  Speaker 12: And she's talking about terrors. So we need President Trump
• 16:40
  Speaker 12: elected to save our jobs, all.
• 16:43
  Speaker 16: Right, Richard and Glenn, I think they're giving us a
• 16:45
  Speaker 16: little bit more time.
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: We did have fifteen seconds.
• 16:47
  Speaker 16: But because y'all are so good and this is interesting,
• 16:49
  Speaker 16: we wanted to ask you on the back.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: Row, why the momentum.
• 16:52
  Speaker 16: Why are we seeing that switch more to Donald Trump
• 16:54
  Speaker 16: and you used to think steel workers unions, that's going
• 16:57
  Speaker 16: to the Democrats.
• 17:00
  Speaker 12: Once again.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 17:01
  Speaker 17: He put the tariffs on us when he was president
• 17:05
  Speaker 17: the last time and our jobs were in jeopardy. Then
• 17:09
  Speaker 17: there was too much dumping and steel from China and
• 17:11
  Speaker 17: other countries, and he.
• 17:13
  Speaker 18: Said our job. It was one of the first things
• 17:16
  Speaker 18: he did when he got into the presidency is to
• 17:19
  Speaker 18: put those tariffs on and they worked.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: We've all seen growing up around here in in the
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Pittsburgh area since the seventies when the when the Japanese
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: actually did that to us, they dumped steel at extremely
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: low prices. It forced a lot of our steel industry LTV,
• 17:40
  Speaker 8: j n L, some US steel places to close down
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: because we could not compete. When we fought that trade case,
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: they leveled the playing field for us, and then we
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: were able to compete in the world market.
• 17:54
  Speaker 18: We wanted we want to get back to that. That's
• 17:57
  Speaker 18: why when you look at the the ship to nip
• 18:00
  Speaker 18: On Steel. They want us to be a bigger player
• 18:05
  Speaker 18: in the global market. So the workforce, our union brothers
• 18:10
  Speaker 18: and sisters, we are We're for it. We are for
• 18:13
  Speaker 18: that self we have we can't we can't stress enough
• 18:18
  Speaker 18: to get the international Just to go to the table
• 18:22
  Speaker 18: and meet with them. That's all we're asking at this point.
• 18:25
  Speaker 18: Meet with them.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: That's important. You are for this Japanese company buying us steel.
• 18:32
  Speaker 18: The rank and file is is for it.
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: Because you feel as though they'll be able to put
• 18:39
  Speaker 5: the money into expand and keep it here.
• 18:42
  Speaker 14: Right.
• 18:42
  Speaker 18: Yes, that they promised to rebuild we have We have
• 18:47
  Speaker 18: a hot meal at our urban plant that was built
• 18:50
  Speaker 18: in nineteen thirty eight. How do you compete with that
• 18:53
  Speaker 18: with modern technology today that's available. We want that. We
• 18:58
  Speaker 18: want that in the Mond Valley. We cannot lose one
• 19:02
  Speaker 18: job in the Mond Valley.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: You listen to these workers and in Pennsylvania, they've got
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: to be telling their family and friends this. They've got
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: to be feeling it like they have to be.
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: There's no way they're not.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: There is no way they are not. Pennsylvania still workers
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: coming out for Donald Trump, saying he saved our jobs
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: and telling everyone in Pennsylvania, unless you want there to
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: be massive unemployment, you might want to actually vote for
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I look at this, and there's two ways
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: this goes right now. Either people look at this honestly
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and they decide this is what it is, that's number one,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: or they just stick their head in the sand and
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: they go with what MSNBC says. The left in the media,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: they're all now focused on this final attack ad or stage,
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and it is that Donald Trump is a authoritarian regime
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: and that he's never going to give up power, even
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: though he did last time, and that he's going to
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: be a dictator in a tyrant. That's like they're closing
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: argument to the American people.
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: So, as you said the other night, the choice cannot
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: be clearer.
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: It just came.
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: I don't know how it could.
• 20:18
  Speaker 11: And what a lot of the people who are kind
• 20:21
  Speaker 11: of on the bubble here who are going to decide
• 20:23
  Speaker 11: this in many ways are people who have to say
• 20:27
  Speaker 11: and who are in their minds saying, yeah, Trump may
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: be crazy, but she's a socialist or whatever the butt
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: is to get to where they want to get because
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: they want to get to voting for they want to
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: get to voting against Democrats. Right, that's any justification. You know,
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: you're going to grab anything on your way to try
• 20:51
  Speaker 11: to get there. To me, the choice is, yes, he
• 20:54
  Speaker 11: is an authoritarian figure, and just because it didn't work
• 21:00
  Speaker 11: last time doesn't mean it won't work this time.
• 21:02
  Speaker 6: If it weren't for Mike Pence, we very well.
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: Could have created fourteen days of chaos in this country
• 21:09
  Speaker 11: that would have led to an election in the House
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: of Representatives that would have taken a free and fair
• 21:16
  Speaker 11: election away from President Biden.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: I mean that's and again that's not us speculating. That's
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: what they said they wanted to do. So the choice,
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: the choice here has to be not all right, I
• 21:28
  Speaker 11: understand he's authoritarian, but he doesn't really mean it. Let's
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: try to be voters who don't say, but let's say
• 21:35
  Speaker 11: and yes, he's a creepingly authoritarian fig authoritarian figure, and therefore.
• 21:40
  Speaker 6: I'm going to vote. I may disagree about policy, I may.
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: Disagree about this or that with Vice President Harris, but
• 21:47
  Speaker 11: let's be clear.
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: Vice President Harris is not going to send a mob.
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: To the Capitol and try to disrupt the peaceful transfer
• 21:52
  Speaker 11: of power. She's not going to talk about the enemy within.
• 21:55
  Speaker 11: She's not going to do this, and we if in fact,
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: you know what, ye remember we're talking to some folks
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: during the twenty twenty cycle.
• 22:04
  Speaker 6: If he wins, maybe this is who we are.
• 22:06
  Speaker 11: And maybe that's the complicated, terrible reality we're gonna have
• 22:11
  Speaker 11: to confront.
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: But let's try not to be that country.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: There it is, let's try not to be that country.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: Really like this, really this is so he's an authoritarian.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You can't trust him, and therefore you got to vote
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: for a woman that no one voted for because at
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: least she's not a authoritarian. Meanwhile, she's full blown Marxist
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: communist saying I'm gonna do price controls and I'm gonna
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: give an amnesty to twenty million illegal immigrants in this country.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do that. It's like,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: are you kidding me? And this is how you're gonna
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: play this. This is how this is gonna rule, Like,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: this is how this is gonna work, Like this is
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: this is the closing argument. I mean, this is it.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: This is the closing argument. So Orangeman's it's still bad.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: We can't attack his policies. We can't attack anything that
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: he's actually advocating or standing for. We're just gonna say
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Orange Man is bad. Wow. All right, So there was
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: a town hall on CNN hours after Kamala Harris looks
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: for another assassin to go take out Donald Trump and
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: says Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler after two people try
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: to kill him, and she's feeling that this campaign slipping away,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: so she goes out there and does an official press conference,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: reading from mateleprompter, telling everybody that Donald Trump is Hitler
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: and since Donald Trump is Hitler, you know you should
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: like do your thing.
• 23:37
  Speaker 7: It's beyond sick. Now.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: The CNN event didn't go very well. Harris was asked
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: a question not about the innocent Jews are being killed,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: but the Palestinians who actually support Hamas and Hesbla being killed.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: And one of the radicals of the Democratic Party was
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in the audience and asked her a question, I want
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: you to listen to this, and then her response and
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: is Anderson could gets involved.
• 24:01
  Speaker 15: Madam Vice President.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: My question is, as president, what would you do to
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: ensure not another Palestinian dies due to bombs being funded
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: by US tax dollars.
• 24:11
  Speaker 19: So I will say, and I think this is to
• 24:15
  Speaker 19: your point, far too many innocent Palestinian civilians have been killed.
• 24:20
  Speaker 15: It's unconscionable, and we.
• 24:23
  Speaker 19: Are now at a place where, with Sinmar's death, I
• 24:27
  Speaker 19: do believe we have an opportunity to end this war,
• 24:32
  Speaker 19: bring the hostages home, bring relief to the Palestinian people,
• 24:37
  Speaker 19: and work toward a two state solution where Israel and
• 24:42
  Speaker 19: the Palestinians an equal measure, have security, where the Palestinian
• 24:46
  Speaker 19: people have dignity, self determination, and the safety that they
• 24:52
  Speaker 19: still rightly deserve.
• 24:54
  Speaker 20: What do you say to voters who are thinking about
• 24:56
  Speaker 20: supporting a third party candidate or staying on the couch
• 25:01
  Speaker 20: not voting at all because of this issue.
• 25:05
  Speaker 19: Listen, I am not going to deny the strong feelings
• 25:10
  Speaker 19: that people have. I don't know that anyone who has
• 25:13
  Speaker 19: seen the images who would not have strong feelings about
• 25:18
  Speaker 19: what has happened, much less those who have relatives who
• 25:22
  Speaker 19: have died and been killed. And I know people have
• 25:26
  Speaker 19: talked with people, so I appreciate that. But I also
• 25:30
  Speaker 19: do know that for many people who care about this issue,
• 25:34
  Speaker 19: they also care about bringing down the price of groceries.
• 25:37
  Speaker 19: They also care about our democracy and not having a
• 25:40
  Speaker 19: president of the United States who admires dictators and as
• 25:43
  Speaker 19: a fascist.
• 25:45
  Speaker 15: They also care about.
• 25:46
  Speaker 19: The fact that we need practical, common sense solutions from
• 25:50
  Speaker 19: a leader who is willing to work across the aisle
• 25:53
  Speaker 19: on behalf of the American people and not themselves. They
• 25:57
  Speaker 19: want a president who cares about a fundamental freek them
• 26:00
  Speaker 19: to make decisions about your own body, understanding that we're
• 26:03
  Speaker 19: not trying to change anyone's belief but let's not have
• 26:06
  Speaker 19: the government telling women what to do with their body.
• 26:09
  Speaker 7: I want you to meet Beth Sandberg.
• 26:11
  Speaker 20: She's a realtor, a mom of four from Bella Kinwood, Pennsylvania.
• 26:14
  Speaker 20: She's a registered Democrat says she's undecided because of concerns
• 26:17
  Speaker 20: about anti Semitism.
• 26:18
  Speaker 13: Beth, Hi, thank you for being here and thank you
• 26:21
  Speaker 13: for remembering we need to bring the hostages home.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Of course I love that part. Did you notice? So
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: she gives us word salad answer, and she basically says,
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: I get it. I don't want to kill any more
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: of these terrorists before the people supporting the terrorists. And
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: then the very next person, Beth, he's a realator, is like, hey,
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: thanks for working to bring the hostages home. What like,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: are we at two different town halls here, what like what.
• 26:48
  Speaker 14: Now?
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: Van Jones, he's angry, by the way, on CNN after
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: this nightmare of a I mean it's a nightmare of
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: a town hall. Whatever the hell you want to you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, because she went off
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: the rails completely. Did you know last night here said
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: we can study packing the Supreme Court.
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: She was asked about the Spring Court.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: She's like, yeah, if they're not doing what we want,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: we'll just pack it and then we'll get.
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: Enough people on there to do what we want.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: That's what dictators do. That is what tyrants do. Like
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: they just expand their court anytime they get to ruin.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: They don't, like Derek, I'd screw you guys.
• 27:27
  Speaker 7: You're nine of you. Watch this.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I'll give you fifteen now though, I'll be my people,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: and now I get they do what I tell them
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: You don't believe me. Look at Venzuela. You don't believe me.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Look at Mexico. Look at what Venzuela's court says. I'm
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: just too down there. They had a fraudulent election. Everybody
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: knows it was fraudulent, and what did the court do? No,
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: it's good. Oh, it's good and all the people on
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: the court will die if they don't do what he says,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: because he's the one that gave them their job. So
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Kama Harris has asked about this, like, Hey, if you
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: know the Supreme Court, I'm packing it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: She's like, oh, yeah, I got an answer for that. Yeah.
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: The answers yes, I'll pack the Supreme Court, no problem.
• 27:58
  Speaker 21: I appreciate that you did. Icknowledg that we are a
• 28:00
  Speaker 21: country that is faced with problems and issues, with the
• 28:03
  Speaker 21: Supreme Court being plagued with issues, would you be in
• 28:06
  Speaker 21: favor of expanding the court to say twelve, so each
• 28:10
  Speaker 21: justice has only one circuit court other than Chief Justice
• 28:13
  Speaker 21: to assist in making judgments more balanced.
• 28:17
  Speaker 19: Well, to your point, there is no question that the
• 28:20
  Speaker 19: American people increasingly or losing confidence in the Supreme Court,
• 28:25
  Speaker 19: and in large part because of the behavior of certain
• 28:27
  Speaker 19: members of that court and because of certain rulings, including
• 28:31
  Speaker 19: the Dobs decision and taking away a precedent that had
• 28:34
  Speaker 19: been in place for fifty years protecting a woman's right
• 28:37
  Speaker 19: to make decisions about our own body. So I do
• 28:40
  Speaker 19: believe that there should be some kind of reform of
• 28:42
  Speaker 19: the court and we can study what that actually looks like.
• 28:46
  Speaker 15: But I do believe.
• 28:46
  Speaker 19: But again, let's just while you raise the point of
• 28:49
  Speaker 19: the court, understand that again, in thirteen days, the American
• 28:53
  Speaker 19: people will decide who is the next president of the
• 28:55
  Speaker 19: United States.
• 28:57
  Speaker 15: In thirteen days, you.
• 28:58
  Speaker 19: Will decide who is sitting in the Oval Office on
• 29:00
  Speaker 19: January twentieth. And on one hand, you have in Donald Trump,
• 29:05
  Speaker 19: someone who has increasingly proved himself to be unstable, and who,
• 29:11
  Speaker 19: as we have established and the people close to him
• 29:13
  Speaker 19: have established, he is unfit to serve. Somebody who on
• 29:17
  Speaker 19: January twentieth, you can be sure will spend full time,
• 29:20
  Speaker 19: like we know, and we've seen the image mentally of
• 29:23
  Speaker 19: him sitting in the dining room off of the Oval Office,
• 29:26
  Speaker 19: watching for hours as people.
• 29:29
  Speaker 15: Violently attack the capital.
• 29:31
  Speaker 19: You can be sure, because he has said he would
• 29:33
  Speaker 19: weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political enemies,
• 29:37
  Speaker 19: that you can look at a Donald Trump in the
• 29:39
  Speaker 19: White House after January twentieth, sitting in that Oval Office
• 29:43
  Speaker 19: plotting his revenge. He has talked about the enemies within.
• 29:47
  Speaker 19: We haven't even raised that subject. Anderson, the enemy is within.
• 29:51
  Speaker 19: He's talking about the American people. He's talking about journalists, judges,
• 29:59
  Speaker 19: nonpartisan election officials. He has talked about, as John Kelly
• 30:04
  Speaker 19: has talked about, can he send the military after peaceful protesters,
• 30:10
  Speaker 19: and he's gonna sit there unstable, unhinged, plotting his revenge,
• 30:16
  Speaker 19: plotting his retribution, creating an enemy's list.
• 30:22
  Speaker 15: I'm going to tell you my list.
• 30:24
  Speaker 19: Will be a list of how I address and continue
• 30:26
  Speaker 19: to address the issues that you all are raising this afternoon,
• 30:29
  Speaker 19: in the evening, it will be a to do list
• 30:31
  Speaker 19: about how we can impact the American people and lift
• 30:35
  Speaker 19: up the American people and address some of the challenges
• 30:39
  Speaker 19: that we continue to face.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: I want to get, by the way, that's one hell
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: of an answer. After she's asked about packing the court. Right,
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: so this person the education administration manager for the PA
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Department of Corrections. Right, so, woke liberal in the audience, like,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I want to know what you're going to do about
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: this court, this court. I want to know what you're
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: gonna do because I don't like what the court's do
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: it or oh yeah, I will pack the hell out
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of the court.
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: No, probab, don't worry about that.
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: Like it.
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: And let me also tell you that this other guy's
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: unhinged and a tyrant and a dictator. While I'm telling you,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to pack the Supreme Court so I get
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: every decision I want done. And if I don't get
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: what the Supreme Court what I want from them, then
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I'll just throw a bunch of more judges on the
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court. The Supreme Court could be sixty five people,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: sixty seven, sixty, whatever the odd number is you need.
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: Do you get my point?
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: They'll just keep expanding it every time they don't get
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the ruling they want. Right. So, right now it's five
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to four, So what happens if it changes fifteen to fourteen,
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: They'll just pack it again. It's twenty two to twenty one,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: they'll pack it again, any ruling they don't like.
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: What Harris is saying is, I do believe.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: That we should have some kind of reform because they've
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: undermined the court because they lost to free and fair election.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: They now have a conservative court leans conservants at a
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: liberal and so they're like, we don't like that, we'll
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: just pack it. We get in charge again, we'll just
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: pack the hell out of it. That's what dictators and
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: tyrants have. I actually, do you notice that the closing
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: argument and I understand why they're doing this. The closing
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: argument is, hey, if anybody wants to kill Donal Trump,
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: go for it. And he's hitler, so you have a
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: moral obligation to kill him. That's closing argument number one.
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Closing argument number two is, hey, he's a dictator to tyrant,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: and you don't want that guy while we are the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: ones that are actually dictators. You know, Donald Trump's not
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: talking about packing the court, you know it's Republicans aren't
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: talking about packing the court. In fact, they're about protecting
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: the court from ever being packed. Because once you start
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: packing the court, it never stops. It never stops, y'all,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: it never stops. So if the Democrats packed the court,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: then the Republicans insting' is gonna be like, all right, well,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: if we get in charge, we're gonna pack the court
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: and get it back to us like where it belonged
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: when we were five to four legitimately.
• 32:42
  Speaker 7: So we're just gonna pack the court again.
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: So now, Harris, official line is we can study packing
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. That's the official line. The official line
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: is we'll do it. Yes, let me do it. Hell yeah,
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: elect me and I will do it. Make sure you
