Government Shutdown Fallout Reveals SNAP Welfare Fraud & Dem Party Infighting · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: There may be some good that actually came out of
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the government shut down supplemental nutrition assistance program known as
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: food stamps to everyday Americans, but we change the name
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: to make it more PC and call it SNAP. Benefits
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: are now being exposed for being rife with massive amounts
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of fraud and abuse. How do we know this. The
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Agricultural Secretary Brook Rowins is now telling the world what
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: they've found. Rowins discussed the SNAP data the US Department
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of Agriculture received from twenty nine states, mostly red states.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: The Secretary said that one hundred and eighty six thousand
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: deceased men and women and children in this country are
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: receiving a check. Let me say that again, one hundred
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: and eighty seven thousand dead men and women and children
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: in this country are receiving foods stamps. Now, that is
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: what we're really going to start clamping down on, she
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: went on to say. Rowins also said a half a
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: million people are receiving two SNAP payments. But here's the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: really stunning thing. This is just data from those twenty
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: nine mostly red states, meaning there's even more fraud and
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: abuse in liberal states. I want you to hear more
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: of what she had to say as she talked to
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: Laura Ingram on Fox News Channel.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: The abuses, the fraud, it's estimated to be twelve billion dollars.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Seattle police just broke up a food stamp fraud ring,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: busting eighteen people. They say, we're buying and selling EBT cards.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: That's become all the rage, some even trading them for drugs,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: food stamps for fentanyl. Lovely and earlier this year, six
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: people were charged in a scheme that totaled sixty six
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: million dollars for food stamped bribery, one of the largest
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: in US history. And I asked President Trump about this
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: ongoing problem. Can we reform snap? Yeah, the people you
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: really need them.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: It's meant for people.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: And you know what it does is it really puts
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: the comfort in the country a jeopardy.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: People that need it have to get it. I'm all
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: for it.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: But people that are able bodied can do a job,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: they leave their job because they figure they can pick
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: this up it's easier.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: That's not the purpose of.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It here to discuss Agriculture Secretary brook Rollins, Madam Secretary,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: great to see you tonight. So we know the administration
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: is trying to bust a lot of these groups involved
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: in this abuse, but how do we stop this before
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: it starts so they can't even get as far as
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: they get in these schemes.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: It's overwhelming, it's pretty remarkable. And let me level set
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: us for just a minute. It is so great to
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: be on and talk about this, and it's funny. I think, oh, well,
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: funny's probably not the right word, but I do think
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: what the Democrats did not, including their calculation and their
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: insane government shutdown, was the fact that this spotlight was
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: going to be shined upon one of their favorite government
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: welfare programs that under Joe Biden increased forty percent, where
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: all that money went trying to buy elections. We're not
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent sure, but we're rolling it back now.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: On day one, back in February, for me, we sent
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: a letter to every governor saying, send us your snap data.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: All of this money that the federal government, the taxpayers
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: are paying for food stamps, we don't even know where
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: it goes, what happens, what they're doing with it. And
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: we said no more. So twenty nine states complied and
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: twenty other twenty plus others did not, and we're suing.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: We're in a litigation right now. But of the twenty
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: nine that complied, what we have found is staggering half
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: a million people getting benefits two times under the same name,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: five thousand dead people, eighty percent of the able bodied Americans,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: meaning they can work, they don't have small children at home,
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: they're not taking care of an elbe really parent. They
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: can work, and they choose not to work, of course,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: because they're getting significant benefits from the taxpayer. So this
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: light Laura that has now been shined on what is
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: perhaps one of the most corrupt, dysfunctional programs in American history.
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: That we are working now, very big announcements coming next
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: week on this. We are cracking down. We now have
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: a plan to fix it, and we're really really excited
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: about doing that for the American people.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: So this has been going on for many years. I mean,
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: I think I covered this on the radio fifteen years ago,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: but recently one woman admitted on national television this was
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: back a couple of years ago.
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: Watch its Wings was buying stamps and buying what buying
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: food stamps.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: She was buying food stamps from whom from everybody me
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: including I buy food, I give them away. I'm just
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: a person that helps everybody.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: This is routine.
• 4:57
  Speaker 7: People.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Just one woman last week I was watching on YouTube
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: said well, I get twenty five hundred dollars and I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: sell eighteen hundred dollars of those food stamps. I use
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the rest for me.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it is.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: It's staggering and so discouraging. You know, if you're a
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: taxpayer and you're working hard every day and you're paying
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: your taxpayer, you're paying your taxes, and then you look
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: and you see these stories of this fraud of people
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: charging more than once that we found one guy in
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: six states who was collecting in six different states under
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: the same number. But again, if we hadn't asked for
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: this data. And by the way, Laura, these are the
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: red states that turn their data over. It is the
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: blue states we're still trying to get data on. Can
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: you imagine if this fraud is happening in the red states,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: what's happening in the blue sport stay hiding, We're hiding again.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: I think they're buying their votes. They're trying to push
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: as much of our taxpayer dollars into certain segments of
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: the society in order to say, hey, we're here to
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: help you. We're going to give you a lot of
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: free stuff depends so vote for us and it's dependency.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Under President Trump, more jobs, better jobs, the economy is growing,
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: We've got better take home pay for the first time
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: in at least four years. Maybe more costs are coming down,
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: and now it's time to get serious about these government
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: programs move people from welfare to work and fundamentally change
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: the trajectory of this country.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Yet again, another government program that is filled with this
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: level of corruption. The Agriculture Secretary warning that taxpayer dollars
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: are being wasted at a level that you can't even imagine,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and the numbers are getting worse as they're going through
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the data. What this means is there is a system
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that is broken. Democrats want to protect this system, and
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: they want to protect the abusers of the system because this,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they believe, is giving them some sort of political power.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: They are in essence, buying votes. Having Americans dependent on
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: them for their food stamps gives them power, gives them stability,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and gives them election victories. This is not about actually
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: pulling people out of poverty. You notice, that's what this
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: is actually all about. And it brings me back to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: twenty sixteen when Democrats were infuriated by what Donald Trump
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: was doing. Donald Trump was empowering African American men, women,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Latino Americans to get out
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: of poverty. Donald Trump saw the world differently, and he said,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I don't want you living in poverty and the government.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Paying your bills. I want you to live out of.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Poverty and be empowered to take care of yourself and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to thrive. And that is exactly what happened. Donald Trump
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: oversaw the lowest unemployment rate in history among African American men, women,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: and Hispanics in this country, also Asian Americans and Native Americans,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: which goes back to the big question why are Democrats
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: so hell bent on protecting a corrupt system? It is
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: simple that system is designed for one purpose, for the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Democrats to count votes, to buy votes, to bribe people
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: into supporting them and convincing people that they cannot make
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: it without the Democratic Party. It's an abusive relationship. And
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: now we're saying, just how much of our tax dollars
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: we're going to keep this system alive to buy those
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: votes of Americans. They are being left behind on purpose
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: by the Democratic Party. Every so often, something happens that
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: afford to take our rights for granted. We must draw
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a line in the sand, and our friends at Patriot
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Mobile have been doing just that for more than twelve years.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: The truth is there is only one provider that boldly
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: stands in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: worth fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: only are they leading the red economy, they're also outpacing
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: only carriers offering premium access to all three major US networks,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: giving you nationwide coverage and service that you can count
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: on day after day. They also offer unlimited data plans,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup in so much more,
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: and switching has never been easier. You can activate in
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: minutes on your phone from your home or your office,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and you keep your same number. You've got now keep
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: your same phone, or upgrade to a new one. And
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: this is where the magic happens. Every month, about five
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: percent of your bill is given back to conservative causes
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you that stand up for
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: a ersten our second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: and are wounded warriors and those that have fought for
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: our country and wear a badge. So take a stand
• 10:10

  Speaker 1: as well. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot. And make the switch and make
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a difference with every call you make. There is a
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: new bombshell report out an audit from the Transportation Secretary
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Sean Duffy revealing that California alone, under the direction of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: the radical governor Gavin Newsom, illegally issued thousands of commercial Drivers'
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: licenses CDLs to dangerous foreign truck drivers, many of them
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: that cannot speak English and do not know how to
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: identify basic signs on our roadways. Duffy said the CDLs
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: are now being revoked. This week, Duffy's Department of Transportation
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: announced to the California Department of Motor Vehicles admitted to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: illegally issuing seventeen thousand CDLs to foreign truck drivers who
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Department of Transportation officials said are dangerous and unqualified to
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: drive the semi trucks. After weeks of claiming they did
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong, Gavin Newsom and California have been caught red handed,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Duffy said in his statement. Now the national media is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: not covering this story, they are covering it locally in California.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: NBCLA putting this report out explaining that a lot of
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: California commercial driver's licenses are being revoked.
• 12:00
  Speaker 7: The driver's licenses for thousands of commercial drivers across the
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: state were revoked. That includes operators of semi trucks, school buses,
• 12:07
  Speaker 7: and even some construction workers. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: this is because they were illegally issued. To quote dangerous
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: foreign drivers, but the Trumpet administration and Governor Gavin Newsom's
• 12:18
  Speaker 7: office have different stories about why this happened. NBC four
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: as Alex Rosier joins us live from the Commerce truck
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: stop with those details.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Alex Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 8: Today, the Department of Transportation put out a statement saying
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: that those seventeen thousand CDLs were revoked in the state
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: of California because they were illegally issued. But the Governor's
• 12:38
  Speaker 8: office quickly responded, saying the Department of Transportation just isn't.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: Sharing the truth.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: Today, truck drivers got back on the road after filling
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: up at the Commerce truck stop. On the same day,
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the California DMV revoked
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: seventeen thousand commercial driver's licenses in the state because he
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: said the CDLs were illegally issued to quote dangerous foreign drivers.
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: This morning, the California DMV asked the Governor's office to respond,
• 13:08
  Speaker 8: and Governor knew some spokesperson said quote. Once again, the
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: Sean Road rules Duffy fails to share the truth, spreading
• 13:15
  Speaker 8: easily disproven falsehoods in a sad and desperate attempt to
• 13:19
  Speaker 8: please his dear leader. The Governor's officers the impacted drivers
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: are not illegal immigrants and that the licenses were withdrawn
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: due to quote inconsistency with California law. The DMV didn't
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: respond when asked for further clarification on what that means.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: By the way, isn't it amazing that California is admitting
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that they screwed up, but they won't admit what the
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: screw up is and they would rather just not admit
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: that they put people's lives at risk and cost people
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: their lives on the roadways in California by giving out
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: seventeen thousand commercial driver's licenses to many who couldn't pass
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the damned test, who do not know how to read
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: the road signs. You also notice in this report and
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: may O Maya is a scandal that of course they
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: just mention and move on because it's still NBC News
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: in LA that's doing this report that some of these
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: driver's licenses went to school bus drivers. Imagine finding out
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: that your child is on a school bus being driven
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: by someone that doesn't know the rules of the roads.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Imagine having a school bus driver who can't speak English,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: or a school bus driver that can't.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Read the signs on the roadway.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: We've noticed recently that the national reports have exposed just
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: how dangerous our roadways are, with illegal immigrants causing deadly
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: res caught on camera. We also know that states that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: are cracking down this have found that there are many
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: drivers that are in their states on their roadways are
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a massive threat to society because when they pull them over,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: they can't even understand what the police officers or the
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: highway patrolman are even saying, and they cannot identify what
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: road signs actually mean. So you hear California saying, okay, well,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: this seems to be like a clerical kind of error.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: They don't want to admit that, Yes, they pandered to
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: illegal immigrants and put their lives ahead of American lives
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and put countless lives.
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: At risk every day.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So as they finished his story, listen carefully to some
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: of the propaganda language that's coming from NBCLA.
• 15:39
  Speaker 8: But the news comes one month after a semi truck
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: driver who was in the United States illegally was accused
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: of causing a crash that killed three people in Ontario.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: And it follows the California dmb's announcement in September that
• 15:52
  Speaker 8: the DMB cannot issue or renew CDLs to people who
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: are here legally in the United States but are not
• 15:59
  Speaker 8: permanent or citizens.
• 16:01
  Speaker 9: We have definitely seen the impact on our students.
• 16:05
  Speaker 8: Rosie Trujillo was the office manager at the Los Angeles
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: Trucking College.
• 16:09
  Speaker 9: We've had us students here and he had to read
• 16:13
  Speaker 9: his license was working family men, so he just had
• 16:17
  Speaker 9: to go to the DMB and renew his license. He
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: had Attaka, he went and he tried to renew it.
• 16:24
  Speaker 9: He couldn't anymore. They said that they don't accept it
• 16:27
  Speaker 9: unless he has residency or citizenship.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: And Rosie says, most of their students. But by the way,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: let's just pause there.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Notice how they're trying to turn the illegal immigrant into
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: the victim in their reporting. They want you to feel sorry.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Not for the three people that were killed on the
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: roadways they just talked about in the report. No, no, no, no,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Not for the Americans who are being pushed out of
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: jobs by illegal immigrants who are getting the CDL, seventeen
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: thousand of them alone in California at seventeen thousand drivers,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: seventeen thousand jobs that could be going to legal residents
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: or American citizens. No, they want you to feel sorry
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: for the illegal immigrant, the illegal immigrant that they believe
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: should just be on our roadways and who cares if
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: it might put your life at risk.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: This is how bad and corrupt the media has become.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: And as they finished this report, keep listening to the propaganda.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Since we're't born in the United States.
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: Not a lot of people that have the citizenship or
• 17:34
  Speaker 9: residency want to do this. It's people that come from
• 17:36
  Speaker 9: other countries with acas will work promise. There are the
• 17:39
  Speaker 9: ones that really want that change in their lives, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: they were the ones coming to get the city license.
• 17:45
  Speaker 9: We're just afraid that it's going to impact and affect
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: our business, and we don't want it to We want
• 17:50
  Speaker 9: to be here for a long time.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: So there you go. We traffic and illegal immigrant drivers.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: That's the translation of what you just heard from this company.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: And they're upset that they're losing their honeypot, right that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: a bunch of illegal immigrants are showing up and getting licenses.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: They're making a living off of giving licenses to illegal immigrants.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: That's the report here. You got to understand how we
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: got to this point. We got to this point, and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: especially in places like California, we got to this point
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: because many of these politicians, Gavin Newsoon is a great
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: example of that, said we don't care about American citizens. Now,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: let me also say one final point about this story.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: You may say, well, this is in California, so it
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: doesn't really matter. Yes, it does, because many truck drivers
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: drive nationwide and if you get your CDL in California,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: there's a very good chance you are crossing state lines
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: or multiple state lines with the cargo that you're carrying,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: so you may act like, well, this doesn't really matter,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: or I don't live in California. Many of these truck
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: drivers could be driving next to you and you don't
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: even know it until it's too late. Finally, as a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: raptor story, they say this to you, the American people,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: about putting you ASTs and the illegal immigrant drivers first.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: So the bottom line is the Trump administration and Governor
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: Newsom's team tell different stories about why this happened. But
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: either way, seventeen thousand drivers with CDLs in the state
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: of California are no longer able to legally drive with
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: that CDL here in the state.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: You know what, I love that?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Right, Well, it's really a war between Gavin Newsom and
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump. We're not actually going to tell you the
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: truth about keeping you safe. No, we're going to turn
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: this into a political fight. And Gavin Newsom is clearly saying,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: in California, we put illegals ahead of Americans in jobs
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: and in safety. It doesn't really matter because that too,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: they represent. And to be clear, this is the entire
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party now, Thank goodness, President Trump exposed this, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Sean Duffy went to work, and now California has been
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: forced to revoke seventeen thousand Trucker licenses issued to illegal
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: immigrants and immigrants after the Donald Trump administration.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Exposed it all to keep us safe.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: With the government shut down finally over, we're now seeing
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: the carnage of what happened in this country during the
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: longest government shut down in history. And there's a very
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: good chance there could be another shutdown coming in early
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: next year. Why because the radical left has taken over
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, which brings us to a big takeaway
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: of the government shutdown. And that is the civil war
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: that is taking place right now. AOC and the Progressives
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: are now turning on Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi. It
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: is an unprecedented moment of civil war for the Democratic Party.
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: Now.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer has been an establishment elitist liberal from New
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: York for decades. He is now coming under growing fire
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: after his handling of the recent government shut down negotiations,
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: even though he voted against opening the government back up. Now,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: in particular, the fact that a bipartisan group of eight
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government without securing key
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Democrat demands healthcare substies for Obamacare that's out of control
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and unaffordable. That is now the flashpoint for the radical left.
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: The vote is seen by many progressive Democrats, you know,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the socialists, Communists and Marxists of the Democratic Party and
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: grassroots groups as capitulation to Republicans and Donald Trump. Many
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: now say they phil Schumer did not use the leverage
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: his cauck has had, and then his signals are signals
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: of weakness. AOC publicly now questioning whether Schumer should remain
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: in his role as leader of the Senate, pointing to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: broader structural issues in the Democratic Party. Other House Democrats
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Rocanna or she Talib and even state leaders like Gavin
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: Newsom and Governor of New York Kathyochel have also now
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: voiced discontent with the extreme leftist Chuck Schumer.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: You can't make it up now.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Despite the pressure, Schumer has refused to step down, insisting
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: he made the tough call for the country and the party.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Several currents are driving this internal revolt. Perceive lack of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a fight is number one for many Democratic donors and
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: many younger and more progressive Democrats. The movement demands, what well,
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: aggressive opposition, including violence against Donald Trump and any Republican
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: that gets in their way. The same people that celebrated
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and celebrate the literal
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: assassination of Charlie Kirk. Schumer's strategy is being viewed as
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: quote too cautious or deferential by many of the radical leftists.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Organizational fatigue is another thing that's been quoted by Democratic
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: insiders saying the Democratic base is just well frustrated with
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the messaging that emphasizes tradition, processing, bipartisanship over radical bold wins.
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: Schumer's leadership style, they say, is well long overdue, long
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: tenure institutional relationships, and just not a good framework for
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: the Marxists and socialists that have taken over the party now.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: The shutdown fight was a leverage movement, they say, and
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: many believe that Chuck Schumer and his caucus could have
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: extracted more from Republicans but quote did not, which means
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: it's time for him to go. So what is the
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: status and what is the challenge to Chuck Schumer? Well,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: at present, there's no formal motion in the Senate Caucus
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: to force Schumer to be out. Leadership changes typically come
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: via internal elections or a caucus vote, and we haven't
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: seen that yet. Now the pressure is clearly more public
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: and more signaling of what can come in the days
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: and weeks ahead. Progressive groups are going to war, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: even some members of Congress are now calling openly for
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: total new leadership. This as Nancy Pelosi has announced that
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: she will not seek reelection as well. Schumer's refusal, they
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: say to step down means well, the default remains him
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: in the role as leader of the Democratic Party unless
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: the size of a block of Senate Democrats moved to
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: replace him.
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: The coming months they're going to matter.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: And the big question is will Chuck Schumer force a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: government shutdown yet again come January. There are many Democrats
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: that are saying, we're willing to let you go to January,
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: but if you don't do it again and do a
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: better job, then we're done with you. And that may
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: be one of the silver linings of this government shutdown
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: is we are now witnessing a full blown civil war
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: within the Democratic Party. AOC by the way, may have
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: been the only Democratic winner from the government shutdown, raising
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: her name recognition and making it clear there's a very
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: good chance she could be the next Senator from New York,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: going after Chuck Schumer's seat as well as his leadership role.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: And that is what you can take away from the
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: government shut down. I also want you to take a
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: listen to this conversation on Fox and Friends. It goes
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: back to the point I was making a moment ago,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and that is right now, the Democratic Party is in
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: a civil war. And they also didn't get what they
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: claimed they actually wanted from the government shut down. Take
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a listen to how they described it on Fox.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: One point four million federal workers and we lost fourteen
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: billion out the economy. One point four million federal workers
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: going without pay. Besides that, what did the Democrats get
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: out of it? If that was they knew that was
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: going to happen, and they wanted to do this longer.
• 26:41
  Speaker 4: So I mean, when you just said King Jeffery is
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: going it's not over.
• 26:45
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's so, but he's doing it for the progressive base.
• 26:49
  Speaker 10: But my thing is all these federal workers, they're unions
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: buying lars, they support the Democrats, and they're still cheering
• 26:56
  Speaker 10: for the government to be shut down. At what point
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: do you pick your family over the party and say
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: I can't support these guys if they're going to keep
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: the government shut down just to get back at Trump
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: and say it's causing maximum pain. This is the only
• 27:10
  Speaker 10: leverage that they have. You got to stop supporting these people.
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: AOC.
• 27:13
  Speaker 11: She said that this is a coordinated effort between the
• 27:17
  Speaker 11: Democrats and the Republicans. The ones who voted with the Republicans.
• 27:20
  Speaker 11: There were eight in the Senate that voted with Republicans,
• 27:22
  Speaker 11: six in the House that voted with Republicans. And no,
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: it's just common sense. We want snap benefits to go
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: to the families that need it. We want you to
• 27:30
  Speaker 11: get your paycheck if you work for the federal government. Here,
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: here's a Here are some reactions from AOC and some
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: of the progressive House members.
• 27:39
  Speaker 6: There's no one vote that ended this shutdown. We are
• 27:42
  Speaker 6: talking about a coordinated effort of eight senators with the
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: knowledge of Leadershumer, voting to break with the entire Democratic
• 27:52
  Speaker 6: Party in exchange for nothing.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: I think we're in an unprecedented moment that you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: demands that we consider whether or not it's the time
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: for new leadership.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Do you think the Senate Democrats need.
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: A new leader.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, there to do, but that's not in my hands.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, they're going to have a lot of primaries.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: I mean you have.
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: With the Senator, the Cenator from Massachusetts going to be challenged.
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: We know that for sure. It looks like Chuck Schumer
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: is going to get a challenge. The whole push from
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: these angry left wing activists is to start challenging these
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: guys and these women.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: In the primaries, they were.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: Somewhat moderate, and I think that's why maybe Jeane Cheen retired,
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: Gary Peters is retiring, Dick Durbin's getting older, but he
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: was retiring. They know they're going to be challenged for
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: more left wing, more progressive candidates.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: I think it's just bad for the country.
• 28:41
  Speaker 10: It was bad for the country, But I think it's
• 28:43
  Speaker 10: time to finally have this fight of the socialism versus
• 28:47
  Speaker 10: capitalism fight. I think if we really want to just
• 28:51
  Speaker 10: put it in his grave on a national level, we
• 28:54
  Speaker 10: need a strong candidate. Maybe it's jd Events and Marco
• 28:57
  Speaker 10: Rubill being together, whoever decides to win in their primary,
• 29:01
  Speaker 10: and we need strong syndic candidates to say this is
• 29:04
  Speaker 10: not American. This is where Seth Moulton, who used to
• 29:06
  Speaker 10: be considered a modern all because he wants the senency
• 29:09
  Speaker 10: and Massachusetts has turned into this radical lunatic now and
• 29:13
  Speaker 10: it's I think it's a temporary solution to get the debate,
• 29:17
  Speaker 10: but when you run in the general election, people are
• 29:19
  Speaker 10: going to reject this.
• 29:20
  Speaker 11: Well, everyone's wondering what direction does the Democratic Party go.
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: They're divided who will be their new leader. If Chuck
• 29:27
  Speaker 11: Schumer if AOC primary, so will it be AOC. She
• 29:30
  Speaker 11: was asked on whether or not Chuck Schumer should remain
• 29:33
  Speaker 11: the minority leader. Listener stay as minority leader.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: I think what is so important for folks to understand
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: is that this problem is bigger than one person, and
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: it actually is bigger than the minority leader in the Senate.
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: And Senate Democrats have selected their leadership to represent them,
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: and so the question needs to be bigger than just
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: one person. We have several Senate primaries this cycle. I
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: know I'm being asked about New York that is years
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: from now, after mind my own constituents, because they think
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: that this election is this year. We actually do have
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Senate elections this year, and my hope is that people
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: across this country actually participate in their primary elections in
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: selecting their leadership. Thank you, Emily, Thank you.
• 30:20
  Speaker 10: She's running, No Comment is running, No common is in Okay.
• 30:26
  Speaker 10: You know, I don't want to say just yet, but
• 30:28
  Speaker 10: I'm not saying that I'm not wrong.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: It could be the Kamala Harris thing where Kamala Harris says, yeah,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to run for governor. Off to think
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: about it, because she wants to run for president. She
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: might be hedging because she might think that she has
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: the support to run for president, especially with the Seattle
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: you know, the radical Seattle.
• 30:43
  Speaker 10: Winning the whole Enchilada.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think she might see a window. You know,
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Ever since Chris Christy waited and then missed the window,
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: I think all these politicians are afraid of missing their window.
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: If she sees that window, I think she runs. And
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: I think most likely what's going to happen is it's
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: going to be a midterm election. Chuck schumeroll announced he's
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: not running for reelection, and I think that would open
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: the door.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: Shit, can't.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: This is the civil war happening within the Democratic Party.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: And it's not just in New York, It's all over
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the country. The Democratic Party is dead. I've been saying
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: this for a long time on this show. It is
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the Marxists, the socialists, and the communists that have taken over.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: They're now calling the shots and they're forcing out their
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: own leaders who actually gave them a platform at the
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: very beginning of all of this. Make sure you share
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: this podcast with your family and friends, put it up
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: on social media wherever you are, and we appreciate you
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: listening every day.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: We'll see you back here tomorrow.
