GOP Surging In The Polls As Americans Feel Biden And The Democrats Are Not Looking Out For Our Needs & Safety! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Just days away from the midterm elections, and there's a
0:04
Speaker 1: very good chance there could be a big red wave
0:07
Speaker 1: because of new poll numbers that have come out. Welcome
0:10
Speaker 1: to verdict with Ted Cruz, Senator. These poll numbers have
0:14
Speaker 1: come out and it is really good for Republican candidates.
0:20
Speaker 1: There's a very interesting article in the National Review about
0:22
Speaker 1: the media's quote delusional midterm coverage. They're doing everything they
0:28
Speaker 1: can to overlook the gallop new poll which finds at
0:31
Speaker 1: the public assessment of the US economy and national satisfaction
0:35
Speaker 1: are the lowest they have measured at the time of
0:39
Speaker 1: a midterm election. This means I think a red wave
0:43
Speaker 1: could becoming in a very very big way all over
0:46
Speaker 1: the country. Well, Ben, I think that's exactly right. I
0:49
Speaker 1: expect on election Day an historic election. I've been saying
0:52
Speaker 1: for some time. I think Republicans are going to take
0:54
Speaker 1: both houses of Congress. I think we're going to take
0:57
Speaker 1: the House, and the majority could be as big as
0:59
Speaker 1: thirty four forty fifty seats. I think it will be
1:02
Speaker 1: on the order of magnitude of two thousand and ten.
1:06
Speaker 1: The Senate, I think we're likely to take fifty three
1:09
Speaker 1: or fifty four seats, which which would be a very
1:12
Speaker 1: very strong pickup. One of the inditia that it's going
1:17
Speaker 1: to be a great Republican year is the corporate media
1:21
Speaker 1: is in a panic right now. They are spinning to
1:23
Speaker 1: their heart's delight, desperately trying to change the topic. The
1:28
Speaker 1: Gallop polls that came out this week. Let me let
1:30
Speaker 1: me read from Gallop and this is a quote, the
1:33
Speaker 1: Democrats are especially vulnerable this year because the national mood
1:37
Speaker 1: is as bad, if not worse, than it has been
1:41
Speaker 1: in any recent midterm election year. And Gallop continues quote.
1:46
Speaker 1: Heading into election day, forty percent of Americans approve of
1:50
Speaker 1: the job Joe Biden is doing as president, seventeen percent
1:54
Speaker 1: are satisfied with the way things are going in the US,
1:57
Speaker 1: Forty nine percent describe the health of the economy is poor,
2:02
Speaker 1: compared with fourteen percent saying it is excellent or good,
2:06
Speaker 1: and twenty one percent approve of the job the democratically
2:09
Speaker 1: led Congress is doing. Current ratings of the US economy
2:13
Speaker 1: and national satisfaction are the lowest Gallup has measured at
2:18
Speaker 1: the time of the midterm election over the life of
2:22
Speaker 1: these polling trends starting in nineteen ninety four and nineteen
2:27
Speaker 1: eighty two, respectively, Congressional and presidential job approval are near
2:32
Speaker 1: their historic low marks. That suggests a very bad election
2:38
Speaker 1: for Democrats and a very very good election for Republicans.
2:42
Speaker 1: Senator I want to go into the media and how
2:44
Speaker 1: they're covering this, but before we get to that, I
2:46
Speaker 1: want to tell everybody about our amazing sponsor, Patriot Mobile.
2:49
Speaker 1: If you've got a cell phone, and nine nine percent
2:51
Speaker 1: of Americans do, how would you like to know that
2:54
Speaker 1: with every phone call you make, you're supporting conservative causes.
2:58
Speaker 1: Well that's what Patriot Mobile does. And they use the
3:00
Speaker 1: same cell towers that you're on right now, meaning you
3:03
Speaker 1: get the same exact coverage that you're getting right now.
3:07
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile is America's only Christian conservative mobile phone provider.
3:12
Speaker 1: They are a force for conservative values. Why because they
3:15
Speaker 1: take a portion of every bill that you pay, and
3:18
Speaker 1: they find conservative causes, candidates and organizations that believe in
3:22
Speaker 1: the sanctity of life, freedom of speech, and the Second Amendment,
3:27
Speaker 1: and they're winning. If you're ready to have your dollars
3:30
Speaker 1: matter when you're paying a bill, switch to Patriot Mobile.
3:34
Speaker 1: They can save you money over what you're paying right now.
3:37
Speaker 1: They can save you and your family money, and they
3:40
Speaker 1: even can save your business or small business money because
3:43
Speaker 1: they have an entire section of the business that's just
3:45
Speaker 1: dedicated to businesses. They offer the same nation wide coverage
3:49
Speaker 1: as all the other major carriers, but the difference is
3:52
Speaker 1: you actually get to stand up for what you believe
3:55
Speaker 1: in every time you pay that bill. So go online
3:58

4:08
Speaker 1: offers and you can call them nine seven to Patriot.

4:17
Speaker 1: You know, you look at the media and how they're
4:19
Speaker 1: covering this, and they went through the top election issues
4:23
Speaker 1: and center. I want to go through each one of
4:24
Speaker 1: these one by one and you explain to everybody listening
4:29
Speaker 1: why this is connecting with voters. And I'll say this
4:31
Speaker 1: real quick for everybody listening, please make sure you support
4:35
Speaker 1: us by hitting that share button right now. Share this
4:37
Speaker 1: podcast wherever you're hearing it. Also write us a five
4:41
Speaker 1: star review that helps us reach more people on the
4:44
Speaker 1: podcasting charts. And one of the things Centator that I
4:48
Speaker 1: think is and it's the number one issue. It goes
4:50
Speaker 1: back to Ronald Reagan. It's the economy, stupid. Forty nine
4:55
Speaker 1: percent of responding say the economy is the number one issue,
4:58
Speaker 1: and when asked who they believe can fix the problem
5:01
Speaker 1: with the economy center there is a massive lead for
5:04
Speaker 1: Republicans with thirty one percent advantage over the Democrats on
5:09
Speaker 1: the economy. Well, that's right, and consistently this year, three
5:14
Speaker 1: issues have topped the priorities for the voters. The number
5:17
Speaker 1: one issue has been inflation and in particular gas prices.
5:21
Speaker 1: The number two issue nationally has been crime, and the
5:24
Speaker 1: number three issue consistently has been illegal immigration. If you
5:28
Speaker 1: look at those three issues number one, all of them
5:30
Speaker 1: have gotten much much worse over the last two years.
5:35
Speaker 1: Even someone not paying attention, it's not confusing that before
5:41
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was president, gas was two dollars and thirty
5:44
Speaker 1: eight cents a gallon, and today in a lot of
5:47
Speaker 1: places it's four or five dollars a gallon. It's gotten
5:49
Speaker 1: as high as six and seven dollars a gallon. That
5:52
Speaker 1: people feel every time they fill up their car, every
5:55
Speaker 1: time they fill up their truck, they look at the
5:57
Speaker 1: numbers and wait a second, This isn't a two digit number,
6:00
Speaker 1: it's a three digit number. That is real crime. People
6:04
Speaker 1: are saying crime everywhere, in every major city, crime is skyrocketing.
6:10
Speaker 1: And the Democrats have leaned in on this. This is
6:12
Speaker 1: the party that embraced Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots
6:16
Speaker 1: across the country. This is a party that thought it
6:18
Speaker 1: was a great idea to lean in on demonizing the police,
6:22
Speaker 1: advocating for abolishing the police, defunding the police. And I'll
6:25
Speaker 1: tell you a lot of people they get that that
6:28
Speaker 1: really doesn't make any sense. And when you have these
6:32
Speaker 1: Democrats advancing things like cash less Vale, basically, you arrest
6:36
Speaker 1: a violent criminal, let's let them go. Well, people are
6:39
Speaker 1: discovering that when you let violent criminals go, they commit
6:42
Speaker 1: more violent crimes. And then illegal immigration. Again, there's no
6:46
Speaker 1: ambiguity on who is to blame for illegal immigration. The
6:50
Speaker 1: last year of Trump's presidency, we had the lowest rate
6:53
Speaker 1: of illegal immigration in forty five years. Today we have
6:57
Speaker 1: the highest rate of illegal immigration in sixty two two years.
7:00
Speaker 1: That change literally the day Joe Biden put his hand
7:04
Speaker 1: on the Bible and Ben, I'll tell you tell you
7:07
Speaker 1: that the differences are moving voters, not just reliable traditional
7:12
Speaker 1: Republican voters, but new voters are shifting dramatically to Republicans.
7:16
Speaker 1: Let me read from the Wall Street Journal quote. The
7:19
Speaker 1: GOP has seen a shift in its favor among several
7:22
Speaker 1: voter groups, including Latino voters and women, and particularly white
7:28
Speaker 1: suburban women. That group, which the poster said makes up
7:32
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the electorate, shifted twenty six percentage points
7:37
Speaker 1: away from Democrats since the Journal's August pole and now
7:42
Speaker 1: favors the GOP by fifteen percentage points. If you want
7:46
Speaker 1: to do some real simple math, over the last decade,
7:49
Speaker 1: blue collar voters have moved significantly towards Republicans, and what
7:54
Speaker 1: gave Democrats a counterbalancing fourth force was suburban women move
8:00
Speaker 1: towards Democrats. What Joe Biden and Schumer and Pelosi have
8:04
Speaker 1: done is driven suburban women back to Republicans, and they've
8:09
Speaker 1: done so at the same time they're driving Hispanics to
8:13
Speaker 1: Republicans as well. I think that all adds together to
8:16
Speaker 1: an historic election. There's something shocking that's happening as well, Senator,
8:21
Speaker 1: and that is the media is being forced to cover
8:24
Speaker 1: how bad things are in the economy and the recession
8:27
Speaker 1: concerns a mid high inflation that today's show, and again
8:32
Speaker 1: they won't connect the dots to the Democrats. But they
8:35
Speaker 1: did a segment this morning on gas prices and they
8:39
Speaker 1: referred to Americans being quote trapped in a vortex of
8:43
Speaker 1: bad economic news. Listen to this, and then I want
8:47
Speaker 1: to get your reaction. This morning, America seems trapped in
8:51
Speaker 1: a vortex of bad economic news. Sky high food prices,
8:55
Speaker 1: pump prices at record levels, soaring rents of sixteen percent
8:59
Speaker 1: in one year, COVID lockdowns in China, the world's manufacturing center,
9:03
Speaker 1: choking the global supply chain, US corporate profits, sinking Russian
9:07
Speaker 1: oil under partial embargo, Ukrainian wheat exports at a standstill,
9:12
Speaker 1: and all of it feeding forty year high inflation that
9:14
Speaker 1: Americans are paying for every day on the front lines,
9:18
Speaker 1: shippers and truck drivers with diesel fuel prices up seventy
9:22
Speaker 1: five percent in one year. In Indiana, Shelley Conaway is
9:25
Speaker 1: a full time truck driver who also runs a charity
9:28
Speaker 1: to rush supplies to those Indeed, we are looking yet
9:32
Speaker 1: possibly eying trailers in the truck another true, but we
9:39
Speaker 1: won't be able to afford to the tires on it.
9:45
Speaker 1: I mean, center, you hear this. This isn't the Today's
9:47
Speaker 1: Show saying this talking about fuel prices up, but deesel
9:51
Speaker 1: up seventy five This coming as there's new warnings on
9:55
Speaker 1: a shortage. US diesel suppliers are quote warning businesses to
9:58
Speaker 1: prepare for shortages higher prices for consumers. They believe that
10:04
Speaker 1: the price of a gallon of diesel could go to
10:06
Speaker 1: eight to ten hours a gallon, possibly by the end
10:09
Speaker 1: of the year. Well, look, anytime the Today's Show is
10:15
Speaker 1: leading with a quote a vortex of bad economic results,
10:20
Speaker 1: that's not exactly the reelection campaign the Demo Democrats want.
10:24
Speaker 1: And part of the problem is they're in charge of everything.
10:27
Speaker 1: The Democrats have the White House, they have every cabinet agency,
10:31
Speaker 1: they have the Senate, they have the House, They've got
10:34
Speaker 1: the entirety of the federal government. That means their usual
10:38
Speaker 1: trick when they screw things up is to try to
10:40
Speaker 1: blame Republicans. It's really hard to do that when they've
10:45
Speaker 1: been in complete charge. And even again, look for people
10:49
Speaker 1: following it, it's obvious this has been a devastating two
10:53
Speaker 1: years in terms of bad legislation and bad policies. But
10:57
Speaker 1: for people not following it. And often elections are influenced
11:00
Speaker 1: by people who are living their lives not paying attention
11:02
Speaker 1: to politics, and then come election day they come out
11:05
Speaker 1: and vote even for someone not paying attention. It ain't
11:09
Speaker 1: complicated that life has gotten a lot crappier with Democrats
11:13
Speaker 1: in charge. And the sentiment that is being expressed all
11:17
Speaker 1: over the country is we want change. We want to
11:19
Speaker 1: change the road we're on. We don't like being afraid
11:25
Speaker 1: to walk down the street, being afraid that you might
11:28
Speaker 1: be mugged, even for those who aren't paying attention. And
11:31
Speaker 1: I think you combine that with the economic reality and
11:34
Speaker 1: also the utter chaos of illegal immigration four point four
11:38
Speaker 1: million people, which in turn is also driving the crime rate.
11:42
Speaker 1: Many of these crimes that are carried out are being
11:44
Speaker 1: carried out by illegal immigrants. You remember a few weeks ago,
11:48
Speaker 1: the day the bus tour was in Vegas, there was
11:51
Speaker 1: a lunatic who at eleven in the morning committed a
11:54
Speaker 1: mass stabbing in front of one of the major hotels
11:57
Speaker 1: on the Strip. Now, look, you know Vegas tries to
12:00
Speaker 1: to market itself as a family friendly vacation place. If
12:04
Speaker 1: there are mass stabbings, not at three in the morning
12:07
Speaker 1: by some drunk in a CD bar, but at eleven
12:10
Speaker 1: am standing on the sidewalk in front of a major
12:14
Speaker 1: glitzie hotel. That is a problem. And of course the
12:18
Speaker 1: criminal there was yet another illegal alien who'd been released
12:22
Speaker 1: from jail by the Democrats. This pattern keeps playing out,
12:26
Speaker 1: Senator when it comes to the issue of crime, and
12:29
Speaker 1: this is something we're seeing not only at the border,
12:31
Speaker 1: but we're seeing it all across the country. Latino voters
12:35
Speaker 1: are now breaking for Conservatives in a historic way, which
12:39
Speaker 1: can certainly add to this red wave that I believe
12:42
Speaker 1: we're going to see an election day. New York City,
12:45
Speaker 1: for example, Latino grocers there actually came together on Monday
12:50
Speaker 1: night last minute to raise seventy thousand dollars for Leezeldon
12:55
Speaker 1: after historically voting for Democrat and this coalition a mainly
13:00
Speaker 1: Tino supermarket owners in New York City showed up to
13:04
Speaker 1: support the Republican Gubmentori Kennet Leezelden after having endured what
13:08
Speaker 1: they described as rampant shoplifting. Now why did this happen?
13:11
Speaker 1: Because in New York if you if you steal less
13:14
Speaker 1: than a thousand dollars of goods and that's a lot
13:16
Speaker 1: of groceries. You're not gonna go to jail. You're gonna
13:20
Speaker 1: maybe get caught and then you'll have a court date,
13:22
Speaker 1: but you will not spend a single night in jail.
13:25
Speaker 1: And seventy entrepreneurs operating mom and pop supermarkets met together
13:31
Speaker 1: gave a thousand dollars each Zelden's campaign, saying they will
13:34
Speaker 1: not be able to survive if the criminals are continued
13:39
Speaker 1: to allow to target grocers and just walk in and
13:42
Speaker 1: steal whatever the hell they want. Well, look, that's exactly right,
13:45
Speaker 1: and it's not just shoplifting, although shoplifting and theft under
13:49
Speaker 1: Democrats has gotten worse and worse. But but we all
13:51
Speaker 1: remember the bodego owner in New York who a criminal
13:55
Speaker 1: came in to rob him and was trying to rob him,
13:59
Speaker 1: and the owner defended himself, and the DA in turn
14:03
Speaker 1: charged the bodego owner with defending himself. They treated him
14:07
Speaker 1: as the criminal because he defended himself from an armed robber.
14:11
Speaker 1: Now that now that is a little bit crazy. In fact,
14:13
Speaker 1: that's a lot crazy. But it also you combine policies
14:18
Speaker 1: that are really hurting people across the country with the
14:22
Speaker 1: Democrats are so wildly out of touch with the Hispanic community.
14:26
Speaker 1: Remember Jill Biden gave a speech in San Antonio, number one,
14:31
Speaker 1: in front of a conference that was called a Latin
14:33
Speaker 1: X conference. And I'll tell you right now here's a
14:35
Speaker 1: real great giveaway. If anyone uses the idiotic, made up
14:38
Speaker 1: word latin X, I promise you they are not Latino.
14:42
Speaker 1: They are awoke, white liberal because that's the only people
14:46
Speaker 1: who use it. Literally, if you look at the Spanish language,
14:49
Speaker 1: everything in the Spanish language is either masculine or feminate.
14:52
Speaker 1: It ends with an er in a the entire language.
14:55
Speaker 1: And what are these folks do? They want to edit
14:57
Speaker 1: it out? And Jill Biden famous number one, she didn't
15:01
Speaker 1: know what a bodega was. She called it a bogata,
15:04
Speaker 1: which I'm not sure what is. Maybe maybe it's the
15:07
Speaker 1: capital of Columbia. And and that's also where she famously
15:12
Speaker 1: referred to Hispanic said said that that you are as
15:16
Speaker 1: unique as breakfast tacos. And I gotta tell you, people
15:20
Speaker 1: heard that and we're pissed. And what's amazing, Ben, that
15:25
Speaker 1: was not an off the cuff gaff Listen, Joe Biden
15:28
Speaker 1: makes gaffs every day because who knows what he's gonna say.
15:31
Speaker 1: She was reading from a teleprompter. That means a White
15:35
Speaker 1: House speechwriter type that out and loaded it into the teleprompter.
15:40
Speaker 1: And they are that out of touch. Their attitude to
15:43
Speaker 1: Latinos is vote for us and shut up. And I
15:48
Speaker 1: gotta say, I think we're gonna see a huge shift.
15:51
Speaker 1: I've talked about this a lot. I think, in particular,
15:53
Speaker 1: South Texas is going to turn red. We are going
15:56
Speaker 1: to elect three Republicans in South Texas, all three of
16:01
Speaker 1: whom are Latina, all three of whom I'm supporting in
16:04
Speaker 1: a big, big way. Have done multiple rallies for them.
16:07
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to do a big rally in San
16:09
Speaker 1: Antonio in a few days for them, and I think
16:12
Speaker 1: we're going to end up those districts. All right, let's
16:16
Speaker 1: start with the special election. Remember a couple of months ago,
16:18
Speaker 1: there was a special election in Texas. It is for
16:21
Speaker 1: a district that is along the Gulf Coast. It runs
16:25
Speaker 1: from just south of Corpus Christie all the way down
16:29
Speaker 1: to Brownsville, which is the southern tip of Texas right
16:31
Speaker 1: on the border of Mexico. This is a district that
16:34
Speaker 1: has not had a Republican represented since eighteen seventy one.
16:40
Speaker 1: That's a long damn time ago. It's incredible. They had
16:43
Speaker 1: a special election. The voters elected Mira Flores, a Republican.
16:49
Speaker 1: She is the first woman elected to Congress who was
16:52
Speaker 1: actually born in Mexico. And by the way, she applied
16:55
Speaker 1: to be a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and
16:58
Speaker 1: the Democrats rejected her. They said, no, no, if you're
17:01
Speaker 1: not Democrat, you don't count as Hispanic. So they threw
17:04
Speaker 1: her out. They said you're not welcome. Myra is fantastic.
17:11
Speaker 1: The district next to her, Monica Dela Cruz, is running.
17:15
Speaker 1: Monica is fantastic. She's a single mom, she's a small
17:17
Speaker 1: business owner. Is two years ago, she ran in that
17:22
Speaker 1: district and came within two points of beating the incumbent Democrat,
17:27
Speaker 1: and she had no money and no support whatsoever. I
17:29
Speaker 1: think Monica is going to win this year. The next
17:32
Speaker 1: district is Cassie Garcia. Cassie is someone I know incredibly well.
17:36
Speaker 1: She was on my staff for over seven years. She
17:40
Speaker 1: was my South Texas director and my deputy state director.
17:43
Speaker 1: She's running against Henry quay Are, the incumbent Democrat. I
17:46
Speaker 1: think all three are gonna win, and you're gonna end
17:49
Speaker 1: up with those three districts. None of them have had
17:52
Speaker 1: a Republican in over one hundred years. I think all
17:55
Speaker 1: three of them are going to elect Republicans. They're all Latinas,
17:59
Speaker 1: and two the three, my run Cassie, are both married
18:03
Speaker 1: to Border patrol agents. That is a big, big deal.
18:07
Speaker 1: It is a generational shift, and I think it's going
18:12
Speaker 1: to change not just Washington, but change the Republican Party.
18:17
Speaker 1: You mentioned this change, and part of this is just safety. Right.
18:22
Speaker 1: The economy is stumbling. You have interest rates that have
18:25
Speaker 1: more than doubled on home interest rates sort of your
18:28
Speaker 1: mortgage since the beginning of the year. The real attors
18:32
Speaker 1: that I have spoken with in bankers that I've talked
18:34
Speaker 1: to have said that this is just shell shocking what
18:37
Speaker 1: it's changed, how quickly it's changed. And to put it
18:39
Speaker 1: in perspective, this was a tweet that when viral it said,
18:42
Speaker 1: this is crazy. If you secured a thirty year fixed
18:45
Speaker 1: mortgage on a six hundred thousand dollars home at two
18:48
Speaker 1: point six percent interest rate in twenty twenty one, you
18:51
Speaker 1: have the same monthly mortgage payment as someone that just
18:54
Speaker 1: bought a house for three hundred ninety two thousand dollars
18:57
Speaker 1: today with a six point two percent interest rate. I mean,
19:00
Speaker 1: Senator this, there's two hundred plus thousand of buying power
19:02
Speaker 1: that disappeared in the market if you use that example,
19:06
Speaker 1: and Democrats keep looking at you, keep trying to tell
19:09
Speaker 1: you that the economy is in good shape, that we're
19:12
Speaker 1: not in a recession, when we obviously are headed towards
19:16
Speaker 1: a recession, and now this is affecting the American dream. Well,
19:21
Speaker 1: you know, there was an old line that Reagan used
19:24
Speaker 1: where he said, a recession is when your neighbor loses
19:29
Speaker 1: his job, a depression is when you lose your job,
19:34
Speaker 1: and a recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his job.
19:39
Speaker 1: And I got to say that resonated. The last time
19:43
Speaker 1: we faced inflation this high was a result of Jimmy
19:47
Speaker 1: Carter's disastrous policies, and it produced the Reagan Revolution. I
19:52
Speaker 1: believe that the greatest outcome of Biden and Harris and
19:57
Speaker 1: Schumer and Pelosi is going to be a new Reagan Revolution,
20:01
Speaker 1: a new generation of Conservatives coming into office. And I
20:04
Speaker 1: got to say, on the economic piece, there's a double
20:07
Speaker 1: whammy here that most folks in the news don't focus
20:10
Speaker 1: on it. So yes, prices of everything have gone up,
20:13
Speaker 1: prices of food, electricity, rent, mortgage, everything's gone up, gasoling.
20:17
Speaker 1: But at the same time, and you touched on her
20:20
Speaker 1: a minute ago with your mortgage example, your savings and
20:24
Speaker 1: assets have plummeted. Your four oh one K has plummeted.
20:28
Speaker 1: The average nationally is thirty four thousand dollars. That means
20:31
Speaker 1: for seniors, if you're retired, you've spent thirty forty years
20:35
Speaker 1: saving and you've seen your four oh one k in
20:39
Speaker 1: just two years under Joe Biden dropped twenty percent, twenty
20:43
Speaker 1: five percent, thirty percent. A lot of seniors are scared. Look,
20:46
Speaker 1: that's what you rely on. You know, my mom is
20:49
Speaker 1: eighty seven. She looks at what is in her retirement
20:52
Speaker 1: account and that's how she's paying her bills, and when
20:54
Speaker 1: it goes down, it worries her. Or many people, their
21:01
Speaker 1: single biggest asset, their single biggest source of savings is
21:05
Speaker 1: their home. When mortgage rates skyrocket, it puts downward pressure
21:10
Speaker 1: on real estate because people can't afford to buy new homes.
21:13
Speaker 1: You're locked into a house. It not only reduces people's flexibility,
21:18
Speaker 1: meaning you can't get out of a house if you
21:20
Speaker 1: need to. It reduces the value of your underlying asset,
21:24
Speaker 1: and so the combination of your savings are worth a
21:27
Speaker 1: whole lot less and it costs a bunch more to
21:33
Speaker 1: live every week. That combination is really vicious and it's
21:37
Speaker 1: a big part of why people are so ticked off
21:39
Speaker 1: and ready to throw the bums out, Which brings me
21:43
Speaker 1: to the issue of the delusion with the media, And
21:46
Speaker 1: I do believe that the media is totally delusional right
21:48
Speaker 1: now trying to save the Democrats ahead the midterms. Even
21:52
Speaker 1: on CNN, Kursen Powers had this to say this morning
21:57
Speaker 1: about crime and the Democrats, and Senator You're gonna want
22:02
Speaker 1: to laugh because it is the most hysterical rewriting of history.
22:06
Speaker 1: I fear works. I mean, if Democrat's done enough to
22:08
Speaker 1: talk about that, No, I think they've been very They've
22:10
Speaker 1: been caught flat footed on the crime issue. Because the
22:13
Speaker 1: crime issue isn't something that's just happening in democratic states.
22:17
Speaker 1: In fact, is happening in Republican states. It's happening at
22:19
Speaker 1: very high rates. And Democrats have a pretty good record
22:22
Speaker 1: on crime, and yet they're not talking about it, and
22:26
Speaker 1: they it's in the same way. There's a lot of
22:28
Speaker 1: people in this country who believe the Democratic Party supported
22:31
Speaker 1: defund the police, and they didn't do right, and they
22:33
Speaker 1: just don't do a good enough job of explaining what
22:36
Speaker 1: they believe, in part because they have a base that
22:39
Speaker 1: you know, has opinions that actually does support defund the police,
22:43
Speaker 1: or has different opinions, So they're kind of trying to
22:46
Speaker 1: walk this line. But I do think that they should
22:48
Speaker 1: have been more aggressive about it because it is something
22:51
Speaker 1: that is a lot of people are very concerned about.
22:53
Speaker 1: I mean, she says they should be more aggressive. Senator,
22:56
Speaker 1: she actually looks you straight in the face and says
22:59
Speaker 1: that the Democrat rants have a pretty good record on
23:01
Speaker 1: crime and the Democratic Party didn't support defund the police.
23:04
Speaker 1: Those are both live and they go unchecked. Yeah. Look,
23:09
Speaker 1: it really is striking when the corporate media is upbraiding
23:12
Speaker 1: the Democrats saying, look, we know how to lie, we're
23:15
Speaker 1: lying for you. Why don't you lie as much as
23:18
Speaker 1: we do? Her claim Now she has to acknowledge, well,
23:21
Speaker 1: their base supports defunding the police. But what she doesn't
23:25
Speaker 1: acknowledge is, Okay, defunding the police was not just a
23:28
Speaker 1: bumper sticker. It's something these idiots did. In Minneapolis, they
23:33
Speaker 1: slashed the funding for the police department. In New York City,
23:36
Speaker 1: they cut the funding for the NYPD by over one
23:40
Speaker 1: billion dollars. This is not theory, this is practice. In Austin, Texas,
23:46
Speaker 1: they cut the funding for the police by over one
23:48
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars. They've done this over and
23:52
Speaker 1: over again. And by the way, it's not just the locals,
23:54
Speaker 1: although the locals are a real problem. It is at
23:57
Speaker 1: the national level. Joe Biden has nominated one, not to
24:01
Speaker 1: three of the leading advocates of abolishing the police hold
24:05
Speaker 1: three of the leading positions in the US Department of Justice.
24:08
Speaker 1: I detail this in my new book Justice Corrupted, How
24:11
Speaker 1: the Left is weaponized the legal system. I have an
24:14
Speaker 1: entire chapter on this that walks through chapter and verse.
24:17
Speaker 1: So Joe Biden nominated Vanita Gupta and Kirston Clark. Vanita
24:22
Speaker 1: Gupta to be Associate Attorney General, the number three position
24:25
Speaker 1: at the Department of Justice. Kirston Clark to be the
24:28
Speaker 1: head of the Civil Rights Division, one of the very
24:30
Speaker 1: top positions of the Department of Justice. Both of them
24:34
Speaker 1: have been explicit repeated advocates for abolishing and defunding the police.
24:40
Speaker 1: They've written about it, they testified in front of Congress
24:43
Speaker 1: for it. And when Biden nominated two of the leading
24:46
Speaker 1: advocates of defunding the police to senior DJ positions, every
24:51
Speaker 1: single Democrat, all of them, voted to confirm both of them. Now,
24:56
Speaker 1: you can't vote to put people in who are advocates
24:59
Speaker 1: of radical policy season then claim, oh, I don't know
25:01
Speaker 1: anything about the radical policies. And actually the third nominee
25:05
Speaker 1: is one that deserves a little bit of focus. Rachel Rollins.
25:08
Speaker 1: Now who is Rachel Rollins. Rachel Rollins was a George
25:11
Speaker 1: Soros prosecutor. Soros has spent millions of dollars electing left
25:16
Speaker 1: wing DA's and he understood, Look, if you want, they're
25:19
Speaker 1: two ways to abolish the police. One as you go
25:22
Speaker 1: after the cops, you'd take the cops off the street.
25:24
Speaker 1: The other way as you take over the DA's office. Why.
25:28
Speaker 1: Because if the DA refuses to prosecute the crime, it
25:32
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter if the cops arrest the criminals or not.
25:35
Speaker 1: If they arrest the criminals and then let them go
25:36
Speaker 1: because the DA won't prosecute them, you've effectively abolished the police.
25:40
Speaker 1: You've stopped the prevention of in the deterrence of crime.
25:44
Speaker 1: Rachel Rollins was a SOROS DA in Suffolk, Massachusetts. When
25:49
Speaker 1: she came in, she put out a list of fifteen
25:53
Speaker 1: crimes that she said her prosecutors were not allowed to prosecute,
25:58
Speaker 1: things like trespassing, things like drug possession, things like resisting arrest,
26:03
Speaker 1: where her prosecutors were forbidden from prosecuting it, which means
26:07
Speaker 1: if you want to take a swing at a cop
26:09
Speaker 1: when he's arresting you in her jurisdiction, that is AOK. Well,
26:14
Speaker 1: what happened. Joe Biden promptly nominated her to be the
26:19
Speaker 1: United States Attorney for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, that is,
26:23
Speaker 1: the top federal prosecutor in the state of Massachusetts. We
26:28
Speaker 1: had a vigorous battle in the Judiciary Committee, and in
26:30
Speaker 1: the book Justice Corrupted, I walk through the arguments I
26:34
Speaker 1: made on the Judiciary Committee, the speech I gave on
26:37
Speaker 1: the Senate floor, walking through her record, chapter and verse.
26:43
Speaker 1: Every single Democrat voted to confirm her. So when these
26:46
Speaker 1: folks lie, as the journalists are doing and saying, oh
26:50
Speaker 1: no, no no, no, we don't support defunding the police, well,
26:53
Speaker 1: if you didn't, one of you could have mustered the
26:56
Speaker 1: courage to say, let's not make the chief federal prosecutor
27:00
Speaker 1: one who refuses to prosecute crime. But listen, the media
27:05
Speaker 1: is an overdrive. I'll give you another quote from the
27:07
Speaker 1: New York Times. On October twenty fifth, Nate Cone of
27:11
Speaker 1: The New York Times wrote, quote, Let's imagine that the
27:15
Speaker 1: polls are exactly right about the national political environment. If so,
27:20
Speaker 1: the race is in a very delicate spot. Everything from
27:24
Speaker 1: a Democrat hold in the Senate and a narrow House
27:29
Speaker 1: majority to a total Republican route becomes imaginable. Now. Ben
27:36
Speaker 1: for Nate Cone to write a week ago that a
27:39
Speaker 1: Democrat hold of the House is entirely imaginable despite the
27:42
Speaker 1: worst polling numbers in a mid term ever seen that,
27:47
Speaker 1: it's so ludicrous. Look, he knows he's lying. Presumably many
27:53
Speaker 1: of his readers know he's lying, but they're counting on
27:55
Speaker 1: someone I guess not knowing he's lying. It really is astonishing,
28:01
Speaker 1: It truly is. And I think one of the big
28:03
Speaker 1: things now is Democrats are trying to act like they
28:06
Speaker 1: are angry and they have their feelings heard, and they're
28:09
Speaker 1: shocked that people are actually holding them accountable for what
28:11
Speaker 1: they believe in. There was a very interestant column that
28:15
Speaker 1: referred to the Paul Pelosi Nancy Pelosi husbands the attack
28:19
Speaker 1: on him, which you condemned immediately we talked about on
28:22
Speaker 1: this show. I condemned it as well. But there was
28:24
Speaker 1: an instant column that came out from Karen Tumbled. She's
28:28
Speaker 1: a prominent OP editor. I want to be fair about that,
28:31
Speaker 1: and her column is entitled I'm sorry I said nice
28:34
Speaker 1: things about Glenn Junkin. She said, I'd like to take
28:37
Speaker 1: this opportunity to retract the nice things I said about
28:40
Speaker 1: Glenn Yunkin. A few months ago, in July, I wrote
28:43
Speaker 1: a column when reports began to surface that Virginia's Republican governor,
28:47
Speaker 1: fresh and sunny political newcomer with proven by partisan appeal,
28:51
Speaker 1: was already thinking about running for president. At the time,
28:54
Speaker 1: I expressed hope for that Yunkin or someone like him
28:57
Speaker 1: would seek the GOP nomination. Now she wants to take
29:01
Speaker 1: it all back because she's angry over the attack and
29:06
Speaker 1: the politics around the attack on Paul Pelosi. This might
29:10
Speaker 1: be one of the weirdest top eds I've ever read. Yeah, well,
29:14
Speaker 1: one of the things. Okay, if you look at the
29:17
Speaker 1: attack on Paul Pelosi, it was horrific. And I will say, listen,
29:22
Speaker 1: we're such a polarized, tribalized world that you've got right
29:26
Speaker 1: and left attacking on everything. And some of the things
29:30
Speaker 1: folks are saying on Twitter about it, I wish they
29:32
Speaker 1: wouldn't say, you've got an eighty two year old man
29:36
Speaker 1: who was hit in the head with a hammer, and violence,
29:40
Speaker 1: and political violence is real. It is something that there
29:43
Speaker 1: are threats against elected officials and their families and and
29:46
Speaker 1: and what happened to Paul Pelosi never should have happened. Instantaneously,
29:54
Speaker 1: the media and the Democrats, though, seized upon this as
29:59
Speaker 1: a police critical opportunity, and it was completely concerted on
30:03
Speaker 1: almost every media outlet. They said, Okay, this is Republican's fault,
30:09
Speaker 1: this is Donald Trump's fault, this is the fault of
30:13
Speaker 1: every every Republican running, and so the answer is you
30:16
Speaker 1: got to vote for Democrats. They immediately politicized it, and listen,
30:19
Speaker 1: there are multiple elements of this. Number One, Look, I
30:23
Speaker 1: guess we'll learn more about this assailant, but what we
30:26
Speaker 1: know about him is he was a hippie nudist in Berkeley, California,
30:31
Speaker 1: who was an illegal immigrant who had overstayed his visa.
30:36
Speaker 1: This is not someone who easily fits into the bucket
30:40
Speaker 1: of maga right wing base. I don't know the guy's story.
30:46
Speaker 1: He appears to be a drug addled nut. And unfortunately,
30:51
Speaker 1: there are more than a few drug addled nuts who
30:54
Speaker 1: carry out acts of violence but for the media. And
30:59
Speaker 1: this is why this, this Karen Tumulty article is so
31:04
Speaker 1: ridiculous and it's so revealing. She goes on the reason
31:09
Speaker 1: she's decided Yuncan is now person and on grata is
31:12
Speaker 1: because Juncan is campaigning for Republicans and in fact, Glenn
31:16
Speaker 1: and I and Glenn as a friend. I endorsed Glenn
31:18
Speaker 1: when he ran for governor. I spent two days barn
31:21
Speaker 1: storming Virginia with Glenn the two days before his primary,
31:25
Speaker 1: and I'm I think very highly of Glenn. Glenn and
31:28
Speaker 1: I just over a week ago, we're campaigning together for
31:31
Speaker 1: yes Lee Vega, who's a fantastic candidate running in Virginia.
31:35
Speaker 1: We did a rally together for yes Ley that was phenomenal. Well,
31:41
Speaker 1: here's what Karen Tumblety writes as news was breaking Friday,
31:46
Speaker 1: about the horrific attack on how Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband
31:49
Speaker 1: Paul by an intruder in their San Francisco home. Yuncan
31:52
Speaker 1: happened to be campaigning in Stafford, Virginia for Yes Lee Vega,
31:54
Speaker 1: the Republican running in a very tight race against Democratic
31:57
Speaker 1: rap Abigail Spanburger. Quote Speaker Pelosi's husband. They had a
32:03
Speaker 1: break in last night at their house and he was assaulted.
32:06
Speaker 1: There's no room for violence anywhere. Exactly right, right thing
32:09
Speaker 1: to say. That's me speaking now. But now Tumulty keeps
32:13
Speaker 1: going alas, he didn't stop there. Quote, but we're going
32:20
Speaker 1: to send her back to be with him in California,
32:23
Speaker 1: the governor said, as the crowd cheered, Yuncan doubled down.
32:27
Speaker 1: That's what we're going to do. That's what we're going
32:30
Speaker 1: to do. For that reason. Suddenly Karen Tumulty says, I'm
32:35
Speaker 1: sorry I ever said anything positive about it. Now, look
32:37
Speaker 1: what the media's try to do, literally saying, defeat the Democrats,
32:41
Speaker 1: defeat Nancy Pelosi's Speaker of the House. That is celebrating violence,
32:47
Speaker 1: what utter, unmitigated horsecrap. What Glenn said is what every
32:53
Speaker 1: Republican to say. Across the country. When you elect Democrats,
32:56
Speaker 1: they implement bad policies and bad things happened to you
33:00
Speaker 1: and your family, and the absolute double standard. Look a
33:04
Speaker 1: few years back, when a craze Bernie Sanders supporter shot
33:09
Speaker 1: and nearly killed Steve Scalize, you didn't see the Democrats
33:14
Speaker 1: being blamed for their rhetoric. Earlier this year, when a
33:17
Speaker 1: crazed lunatic tried to kill Lee Zeldon on the campaign trail,
33:22
Speaker 1: you didn't see the Democrats being condemned for their rhetoric.
33:26
Speaker 1: Just a few months ago, when a crazed lunatic went
33:29
Speaker 1: from California to DC trying to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Again,
33:33
Speaker 1: the media didn't say, you know, the time has come
33:36
Speaker 1: for Schumer and the leftist to stop. They don't do that,
33:39
Speaker 1: but it is I gotta say ben it. They didn't
33:42
Speaker 1: even the White House didn't even condemn it. They were violent.
33:45
Speaker 1: They had the opportunity, by the way they were asked
33:47
Speaker 1: by the media, and they purposely said nothing about the
33:50
Speaker 1: assassination attempt on its Supreme Court justice and putting out
33:54
Speaker 1: that hit list basically of where they lived. They wouldn't
33:57
Speaker 1: even condemn the people going to the Houses of Supreme
34:00
Speaker 1: Court Justices, which is supposed to be a felony to
34:02
Speaker 1: try to influence their vote, so it is a felony.
34:06
Speaker 1: And the Department of Justice. Merritt Garland is so political
34:09
Speaker 1: that he still refuses to prosecute the people that are
34:12
Speaker 1: aggressively protesting in front of the Justice's home. He simply decides, Okay,
34:17
Speaker 1: certain portions of the criminal Code I don't enforce because
34:20
Speaker 1: it is contrary to my partisan political interests, and it
34:25
Speaker 1: is truly absurd. You know, I watched one of the
34:29
Speaker 1: Sunday shows where where Tom Emmert, one of the House
34:33
Speaker 1: congressional leaders, was on and Margaret Brennan was cross examining him.
34:38
Speaker 1: You know, do you regret saying fire Nancy Pelosi? And
34:42
Speaker 1: Tom's a fairly mild mannered guy. I wish he had
34:44
Speaker 1: looked at her and said hell no. And I regret
34:47
Speaker 1: the fact that she's in office right now because her
34:49
Speaker 1: policies have been disastrous for people in this country. But
34:53
Speaker 1: what the media is trying to do, bizarrely, they're actually
34:58
Speaker 1: celebrating this horrific physical attack on Paul Pelosi because they
35:03
Speaker 1: see it as an excuse when they're done telling the
35:07
Speaker 1: story it was Donald Trump wearing a red hat that
35:10
Speaker 1: was wielding the hammer instead of some crazed hippie nudist
35:14
Speaker 1: from Berkeley who's an illegal alien and who knows what
35:17
Speaker 1: views he has, maybe has some right wing views or
35:19
Speaker 1: left wing views, I don't know. But to claim that
35:23
Speaker 1: because some lunatic assaulted Pelosi's husband, that it is now
35:29
Speaker 1: verboten to try to beat Democrats on election Day, even
35:35
Speaker 1: for the corrupt corporate media, that is the height of absurdity.
35:40
Speaker 1: It certainly is. And Center. You and I did a podcast,
35:43
Speaker 1: a Deep Dive, just a couple of days ago that
