Fake News vs. Real Numbers Economy is Booming Under Trump plus PA Power Shift, GOP Gains · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It's the economy stupid. That is the line that matters
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: in every election. If you're not talking about the economy
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: and the economy is bad, you're gonna have problems. Democrats
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: believe that the majority of you listening right now are
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: blaming Donald Trump for what they're describing as a quote
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: about economy.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I'm actually not joking.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: What is the data saying? It says the opposite of that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: President Donald Trump on Tuesday credited his tariffs with producing
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: better than expected economic numbers in the third quarter and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: added that the quote Trump economic golden Age is full
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: steam ahead and a pair of true social posts. Trump
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: said the tariffs are responsible for the great USA economic
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: numbers and declared there is quote no inflation in great
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: national security, while urging support to pray for the US
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Supreme Court. He also touted the Commerce Department's reported four
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: point three percent growth is a ratest proof that good
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: government and all caps tariffs are powering what he called
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the Trump Economic golden Age. The government's initial estimates show
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: US growth and the gross domestic product numbers are big.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: The broadish measure of economic output, it rose at four
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: point three percent annual pace from July through September. That
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: is up, not down from the three point eight in
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the second quarter, as well as the roughly three percent
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: forecast track by fact Set. Now, the report credit stronger
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: consumer spending. In fact, we had record Black Friday sales
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: and Monday Cyber Monday sales, higher exports by the way,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: and increased government outlays for the jump. Trump sees on
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: those details, arguing that tariffs are boosting the domestic production
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and rebalancing trade. In his second post, Trump claimed that
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: consumer spending is strong and its way up, Imports and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: trade deficits are way down, adding that investment is setting
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: records because of his tax package, which he labeled the Great, Big,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Beautiful Bill, and his tariff policy, which Democrats said would
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: be a disaster that.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Is actually not. What has happened.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: What we've seen is incredible number of dollars that have
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: been collected by our federal government, which will then help
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: with our out of control government spending, our deficits. Now,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: consumer spending and this is important, grew it at a
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: three point five percent annual rate in the third quarter.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: That is up an entire percentage point from the two
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: point five in the prior period. Exports also surge, and
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: government spending also increased.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Baron similarly noted.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: That expert exports excuse me, jumped sharply and that business
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: investment improved compared with the prior quarter, even as an
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: analyst warned trade flows can be temporarily distorted by shifting
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: tariff expectations. That's how they described it. Now, here's what
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: really matters. Inflation. Inflation remains a key political and economic
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: pressure point. The federal reserves preferred inflation gauge all right,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: what they prefer the personal consumption expenditures know his PCE.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: The price index rose at a two point eight percent
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: annual pace last quarter, with core PCE at two point nine,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: both above the Fed's two percent target, but down from
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: where they were with Biden. That dynamic could complicate the
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Central Bank's next steps on interest rates is what some
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: economists are warning now. The GDP report was also released
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: later than originally scheduled because of a recent government shutdown,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: which created a backlog of federal economic data. The shutdowns
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: expected to weigh on the fourth quarter activity, with simate
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: suggested it could shave one to two percentage points off
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: growth in the current quarter that we're in right now.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Because the government was shut down. We know that is
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: temporary and obviously will come back now. Donald Trump and
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: many of his advocates his allies argued, the headline growth
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: number validates an America first approach, the US using these
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: tariffs to pressure adversaries, protect US industry, and drive investment
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: back home. So all of this is way better than
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: what we were quote expecting. Fox Business Channel describing it
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: this way on what we've just witnessed.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: First story today is, of course, the economic growth story,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: which even a lot of supply siders really didn't see coming.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: We were expecting a third quarter to come in at
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: a strong three point three percent. Instead, it came in
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: a full percentage point higher, a super strong four point
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: three percent. And with recent inflation numbers coming in gener
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: really lower than expected, it looks like President Trump's economic
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: policies are turning Biden's stagflation on its head.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Turning Biden's stagflation on its head. We're experiencing a third
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: quarter that came in very strong. That is what the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: numbers show. What's also interesting about this is a few
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: moments later you had the White House send out Kevin
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Hassett to talk about these numbers. Listen to what he
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: said again on Fox Business for.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: More details, Let's bring in NEC director Kevin Hassett. A
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: good day in the White House. I imagine, Kevin, you
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: got strong growth, lower inflation. Looks like a perfect scenario.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And one of the things that I would like
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: to add is the Larry Kudlow and I on the
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: show for the last two months, I've been telling you
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: you're going to get a four percent number. You did it,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: and so it's really interesting to see the headlines from
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the fake news everywhere you look. It's like, oh, it's
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: a completely surprising north of four percent number. But the
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: point is the President Trump's policies are working, and they're
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: very visibly working now because we've seen we've seen the data.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: And you know, President Trump, when we were talking about
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: the numbers, he said something like, well, why don't we
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: get twenty percent? Did you see that? He truth to
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: that today.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: That's a little little ambitious.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: I don't know about twenty percent. But the point is
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: that we're in the very unprecedented time that the macro
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: thing is that it's just like when we invented the
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: computer and then or was it Al Gore that did that.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Oh he was the Internet. And then all of a
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: sudden in the nineties we had incredible growth year after
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: year after here with no inflation, and so I think,
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: I think we could do it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I think we have those numbers. Do you have the numbers?
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Producers? Can you put that up?
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Because the tax the Reagan tax cuts, for a lot
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: of reasons, mostly political, didn't kick in until January one,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighty three.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: The next six years you were growing.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: The first year you grew at about four and a
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: half percent, The second year the United States grew at
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: over seven percent, and I think the average after of
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: six years was about four and a half percent. Do
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: you think that's going going to be that case for
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: the rest of the Trump administration there right now?
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's right, you know. So what happened with the
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: Reagan numbers is an example, but there was a second example.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: So Reagan did it with tax policy, and then it
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: happened in the late nineties, really because computers made everybody
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: more productive. The thing about what President Trump intuits, which
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: is true, is that we've got both of those. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: we've got artificial intelligence increasing productivity, and we've got amazing
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: tax policy as well, and so there's a chance that
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: we get to numbers north of even what you've seen
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: without inflation. And that's the other thing that the President
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: mentioned in his Truth today, which I really want to
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: reemphasize because he understands this, is that if you see
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: growth because the government is setting checks to everybody and
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: the FED is printing money, then that's going to cause inflation.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: The Fed's going to have to raise race. But if
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: you feel growth because of supply side effects, then you
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: can get the growth without the inflation. And that's something
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: that we're seeing right now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: As you know.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: CPI came in with a core of one point six
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: percent just last week, and so we're getting growth without inflation,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: which is really proving both Reagan and Trump correct.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: So you listen to Kevin and I play that for you,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: because not only is this what the White House said
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: was going to happen, but it it's even better than
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: what they were expecting. Why, because they're empowering Americans to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: succeed without government subsidies. You saw inflation got a control
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: under the Biden regime because they were constantly wanting to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: send you money, so you'd be totally dependent on them
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: and it's buying votes, right, and then we saw inflation
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: out of control. Because if you're printing money and you're
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: giving out money and it's not actually being earned and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: it's not actually the economy that's doing it, then it's artificial.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: It's not real, right, it's like completely artificial. That is
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: a big problem. So you look at this now, and
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: I will say it again because I think it's so
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: important that people understand this. What the president has stopped,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: and then what the president is doing right now is amazing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: He has stopped biden inflation that got out of control
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and is now turning around in eleven months. We should
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: all be celebrating this. This is the best case scenario.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And when the media is like, oh, it's gonna be
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: a disaster, Oh it's gonna be bad. Oh it's gonna
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: be terrible, and the economy is everything, I agree. The
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: economy is everything. I couldn't agree with you more. The
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: economy is everything. And what the president's doing is do
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: doing exactly that. The economy is fighting because of the
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: policies that this president is put forward. It's empowering Americans
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to make more of their own money, keep more of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: their own money, and allowing small businesses to grow. How
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: could we not love that, on top of the tariffs,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: on top of bringing jobs and investment back to the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: United States of America on the world stage. This is
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: why things right now are moving the right direction, even
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: while everyone in the media is trying to convince you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: that things are bad. The numbers don't lie. New economic
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: numbers are out and it shows that Donald Trump's plan
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: is absolutely working. That is driving the left totally insane.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: President Trump's tariffs are responsible for what he describes as
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: the strong economic numbers. Kevin Hassett saying President Trump's pro
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: growth policies are working, and they're visibly working now because
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: we've seen the data.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: This also is moving forward with what's about to come
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: down the pipe in twenty twenty six, which is no
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: tax on tips, no tax on overtime, will both become reality.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: They've been passed, but they are enacted in twenty twenty six,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: and no tax for the majority on Social Security. That
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: is massive. You put that together, and I got to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: tell you this is what you I would refer to
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: as supercharging the economy, especially compared to where we were
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a lot of people don't get credit for implementing their
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: policies when they do it. And if you look at
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the difference between where we are now and where we
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: were when Joe Biden was in office, it is amazing.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Where we're headed, though, is going to be even more
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: than that. It's going to be more important than that.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: You know, you look at what Democrats are fighting over
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: right now in Minnesota. Fraud's get is a great example
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of that. You've got a group of fraudsters in the
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Smiley community that the Democrats won't hold accountable. It is
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: truly remarkable that Tim Waltz is even thinking about running
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: for reelection, knowing just how bad the fraud was. Tim
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Waltz is out there trying to divide the country and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: certainly in his state even more by screaming racism on everything.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: He's now instead of answering the fraud questions of our
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: tax dollars just being used to go to terrorist organizations.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Not a joke by the millions. What is he out
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: there doing?
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: He's like, all right, well, I'll figure out a way
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: to distract from this. He's now railing against ice raids
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota by accusing the Trump administration of now what
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: he describes as quote white supremacy. Did you hear me
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: white supremacy? Tim Waltz in his own words.
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: So, this is what happens when your own federal government
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: wages war against you. This is what happens when they
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: target communities for their own benefit. This is what happens
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: when they scapegoat. And this is what say happens when
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy. When
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: you hear the Vice President of the United States talk
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: about now white people won't have to apologize for being white.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: That's never happened once in my whole damn life. And
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: I think everybody in this room knows what they're doing.
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: So we're here today to say enough of this. We're
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: here today to stand that Minnesota will protect their neighbors.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: White supremacy.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: This is what happens when they no longer hide the
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: idea of white supremacy. So finding illegal immigrants who are
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: committing crimes, holding people accountable for to Freuden the government,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: he now is describing it as white supremacy. I do
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: believe the midterms are going to be about the economy.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I also believe that the midterms are going to be
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: about do you trust the president of the United States
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: of America and to do exactly what he's doing. And look,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: there is massive corruption and our government spinning is a
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: real problem. I'll give you a great example of that.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: You may not realize that we borrow over two hundred
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and seventy two million every hour.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Did you know that. I'm gonna say that again.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: We as a nation borrow over two hundred and seventy
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: two million every hour, We borrow four point five to
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: four million every minute, and we borrow over seventy five
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars every second.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: That is insane.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Senator Ram Paul came out with his Festivust report, pointed
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: to trillions in government spending, including millions for COVID vaccine
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: promotion and federally funded animal experiments. He flagged one point
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: six trillion in ways from COVID influencer campaigns to bizarre
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: animal drug experiments in the new report. And people should
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: be angry about this. You should be mad that we
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: borrow two hundred and seventy two million every hour, four
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: point five to four million every minute, and we borrow
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: over seventy five thousand dollars every second.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: That should make you live it.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: There is a problem we live in add society, right,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: it's instant gratification society.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: I also think, though some of this isn't even that.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I think what it really is, honestly about, is the
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: insanity from the left and the media. I don't care
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: how good things are, they're gonna tell you it sucks.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: They're going to tell you that Donald Trump is failing.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: They're gonna tell you Donald Trump's a disaster that they're
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: going to tell you that it's the worst thing.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: In the world.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: That is the part here that really frustrates me is
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that no one will just be honest about it and
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: just be like, yeah, it's really good, Like this is
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: impressive what the president pulled off. Just go back to
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the tariffs as a single issue, all right, forget everything else, just.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: The tariffs. If you look at the tariffs.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: The entire media apparatus and the Democratic Party said over
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and over again that we were going to have empty
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: shelves for Christmas that didn't happen, That you weren't going
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to be able to afford basic necessities that didn't happen,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: and that there was going to be a shortage of
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: basic things that we desperately needed. That also did not happen.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: They also said that the prices were going to skyrocket
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: to the point where you couldn't afford basic things that
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: also did not happen. And they said that it could
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: start World War three that also did not happen. So
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, at what point do people wake up and
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: just realize anything the present's doing, they're going to tell
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: you it's going to be bad, and then when it
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: pans out that hey, guess what, it worked, that you
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: should then trash those people and never trust them again.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: Like, these are the same type of deal.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: That told you if you took the COVID shot that
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you stopped the spread in two weeks and that everything
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: would be fine and we go back to normal, and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: then they shut us down for years.
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: So remember who these people are.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: These are also the same dealle that told you you're
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: gonna die in the nineties in the eighties from global cooling.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Then they switched it to global warming and said we'd
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: all be dead right now. Al Gore, if you don't
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: believe me, go look at his predictions. None of them
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: become true. So I am at a point where I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: just want someone to say, hey, I'm we owe the
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: American people in apology.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: We're really sorry.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: We just we straight up screwed that up, like we're
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: liars and we screwed it up.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: Are bad.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're going to see that, but it
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: would be nice, wouldn't it. They're not gonna apologize. Well,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: if you read that story, you probably think the economy
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: is bad because they told you the economy is bad
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: and the economic numbers coming out were going to be bad,
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: when in reality they weren't bad at all.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: They were great.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: But you think they're going to run the same levels
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: story on the front page talking about while we were
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: wrong and the president was right and the tariffs are
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: actually working and money is pumping back into this country
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: and manufacturing's working. They're never gonna do it. They will
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: never do it because they hate Donald Trump more than
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: anything else. This goes back to Trump derangement syndrome. One

• 19:22
  Speaker 1: The GOP is netted twelve thousand voter registration surge in
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania in one week. As Democrat lead shrinks over time,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: a rapid shift in Pennsylvania's voter registration landscape is added
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: to the Republican Party's long term momentum state.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: It's the swing state.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: A recent data shows a notable weekly game that continues
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: to chip away at the Democrat it's edge it's been
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: built over decades in a key battleground state.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: According to the.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Newly released report, today, Republicans achieved a net game of
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: twelve thousand, four hundred and eighty eight voter registrations over
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the Democrats in a single week. This gain reflects a
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: continuation of broader momentum for the GOP in Pennsylvania, where
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: the Democratic advantage has been steadily shrinking over the past
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: ten years. As of now, Democrats do hold a registration
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: lead of only forty nine thousand, five hundred and fifty
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: eight voters. Let me give you that in comparison to
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, when Trump ran for president the first time,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Democrats had a lead when it came to registered voters
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: of almost a million more in Pennsylvania nine hundred and
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: sixteen thousand change in twenty sixteen. That number has now
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: dropped to forty nine thousand. Now you compare that with
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the same period last year, Republicans have netted eighty two,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty three new registrations over the Democrats.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: The surge al show helped with the recent efforts by
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: Democrats to reactivate dormant voters and left landing strongholds it built.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: It builds on a longer trend of GOP gains that
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: have significantly altered the voter registration landscape in Pennsylvania as well. Now,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: long term erosion of the Democratic voter registration advantage in
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is easily easy to document. In August, for example,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Democrats lead a drop to just fifty nine thousand, one
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three voters out of the more than
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: eight point three million registered in the state. That represents
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: one of the nearest gaps in recent history. The data
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: all show shows that sends a twenty twenty four election cycle,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Democrats and pay attention to this have lost four hundred
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and forty nine thousand registered voters, nearly twice the two
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: hundred and twenty two thousand loss by Republicans. That results
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: in a net gain of over two hundred and twenty
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: seven thousand voters for the GOP. Now, this shift has
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: occurred in tandem with economic development on President Donald Trump's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: second term, Trump, who carried Pennsylvania in twenty twenty four
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: by with fifty point four percent of the vote over
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Democrat Kamala Harris, has sent highlight of economic gains in
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the state in December speech you may have send it.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: The other day at Mount Pocono, the President side of
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the creation of more than sixty thousand jobs, including four
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: thousand in manufacturing, and nearly one hundred billion in new
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: investments in the state. If you don't think Make America
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Great Again is working, you're not paying attention. During the holidays,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: we all are about at least I am, and I
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: think probably the majority of you spending time with your family,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: right your kids, your grandkids, your loved ones.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Your family members.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You may not realize, but they are an awful lot,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: unfortunately of people out there that.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: They don't have their kids.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: They are kids that are lost, They are kids that
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: have been abducted. There are kids that have been forcing
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: into sex, trafficking and slavery. There are a lot of
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: parents out there that have kids that have been kidnapped,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: that are exploited. Thank goodness, this administration is fighting hard
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: to bring those kids back home to get them out
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: of these horrible conditions. A lot of this was because
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: of miners that we released to people that we did
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: not vet in this country with our wide open southern borders.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: That's part of the problem and what many people should
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: be very angry about now. I say that to play
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: for you some of the successes that we're having that
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: aren't getting the coverage. This is coming out of Fox
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: ten local news coverage talking about missing children that were
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: found across Florida and what they referred to is Operation
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: Northern Lights. This was not happening under the last regime,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: but this president has made it clear we will hunt
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: you down and find you and we're going to find
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: the children. Well, they found forty three missing children in
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Florida so far in Operation Northern Lights. And here's how
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: the local media covering it, the national media not touching it.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: And you got to ask yourself the question why.
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: This video, taken by the Leon County Sheriff's Office in Florida,
• 24:33
  Speaker 6: shows federal agents and law enforcement officers working behind the
• 24:37
  Speaker 6: scenes to rescue dozens of critically missing children.
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: This was the largest missing child operation ever conducted in
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: northern Florida, and we're very proud to say that forty
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: three children will now be home safe for the holidays.
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: According to the US Marshals, through Operation Northern Light, children
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: ranging from one and a half to seventeen years old,
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: were reunited with their families. Of those include a one, fifteen,
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: and seventeen year old missing out of Okaloosa County. The
• 25:11
  Speaker 6: one and seventeen year old were rescued by US Marshals
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: outside Jackson, Mississippi. The agency says one person was arrested
• 25:19
  Speaker 6: for interfering with child custody. The US Marshals say the
• 25:23
  Speaker 6: fifteen year old and the child's abductor were found in Okalla.
• 25:28
  Speaker 6: The adult was arrested and charged with interference with child custody.
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: Greg Legedall, acting US Marshall for the Northern District of Florida,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: say the children that were saved were critically missing, meaning
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: they were at risk of violent crimes or other serious
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: harms like drugs, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, or crime exposure.
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: During of course the operation, we ended up recovering children
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: from multiple states, including Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana. We had
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: a lot of these cases that could potentially lead to
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: charges of human trafficking, of interference with child custody, and
• 26:07
  Speaker 7: just a lot of really really bad situations that these
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: children had found themselves in.
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: Lil Jadal says this wouldn't have been possible without the
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: help of state law enforcement and local agencies, including Pensacola PD.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Lol Jadal says, the biggest takeaway from this operation is
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: to always know what your child is doing, who they
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: are associating with, and be involved in their lives.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: By the way, where was this help in the last administration?
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: You think about this forty three missing children that are
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: now going to be reunited with their families for the holidays,
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: who are, as they described it, critically missing, meaning they
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: were at risk of violent crimes, serious harm like drug
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: sexual exploitation, domestic violence, or crime exposure. Why is it
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the last administration completely look the other way. They didn't care.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: They wanted to fundamentally change this country. They wanted to
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: bring in as many illegal immigrants as humanly possible. And
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: the reason why they wanted to bring them in is
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: simple because then they would gain power and hopefully they're
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: votes one day, they would gain the votes to their
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: friends that can vote. That's also really really important that
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: you understand that. And this goes back to I think
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: the President of the United States of America saying, we're
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: going to find these kids. We're not going to look
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: the other way. We will find them, we will protect them.
