0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome.
0:01
Speaker 2: It is Vernict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
0:04
Speaker 2: We are days away from a GOP convention. I love
0:07
Speaker 2: saying this where we're very united behind our candidate and center.
0:11
Speaker 2: There is still a major civil war that is not
0:14
Speaker 2: stopping within the Democratic Party.
0:17
Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly right.
0:19
Speaker 3: Utter chaos continues to reign on the Democratic side. But
0:22
Speaker 3: we're also going to talk about the fact that Texas
0:24
Speaker 3: is recovering from Hurricane Beryl. The state of Texas was
0:30
Speaker 3: hit by Beryl two days ago. Nearly three million Texans
0:35
Speaker 3: lost power. There was wind damage, rain damage. You and
0:39
Speaker 3: I lived through it, So we're we're gonna walk through
0:41
Speaker 3: exactly what that entailed. But then we're going to turn
0:44
Speaker 3: to what's happening nationally. We're gonna turn to the question
0:47
Speaker 3: that's on everybody's lips, which is who is the Democrat
0:50
Speaker 3: nominee for president going to be. I continue to believe
0:53
Speaker 3: it's not Joe Biden. But the White House is erecting
0:58
Speaker 3: the barriers and fighting tooth and nail, and they are
1:01
Speaker 3: discovering that their worst enemy is the corporate media, who
1:05
Speaker 3: is utterly and completely turned on them. We're going to
1:07
Speaker 3: break that down.
1:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really interesting.
1:10
Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about something of
1:12
Speaker 2: this is important to me. I have been a victim
1:14
Speaker 2: of gun crime, and without carrying a firearm, I would

2:39
Speaker 1: You and I have lift through it. We both lost power.
2:41
Speaker 2: Doing this show is a little bit complicated when you
2:44
Speaker 2: don't have power or internet, and yet we're still doing it.
2:48
Speaker 2: We just lost our internet moments before we started recording tonight.
2:53
Speaker 2: You were out today helping people in Texas. What all
2:57
Speaker 2: did you see from the damage. I helped a lot
2:59
Speaker 2: of name get trees out of their yards and trees
3:03
Speaker 2: that went through even parts of their roof.
3:05
Speaker 1: You saw a ton of that as well.
3:07
Speaker 3: Well, that's right. I've spent the last two days traveling
3:09
Speaker 3: through the affected areas. Look, this hurricane hit late Sunday night,
3:16
Speaker 3: early Monday morning, and actually you and I recorded Monday's
3:19
Speaker 3: podcast as we were waiting for the hurricane hit, and
3:23
Speaker 3: we were both at our homes. We knew it was coming,
3:26
Speaker 3: and you know, let's actually walk people through what it's
3:31
Speaker 3: like Now now you're a Memphis boy, so this is
3:34
Speaker 3: your first hurricane.
3:35
Speaker 1: This was the real deal for me.
3:37
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, it's somewhat exciting and nerve wracking,
3:41
Speaker 2: and then there's like, hey, how much water do I need?
3:44
Speaker 2: Like I was asking the basic New Greeny questions.
3:48
Speaker 1: Yeah.
3:48
Speaker 3: Look, as a lifelong Hestonian, we just have hurricanes. That's
3:52
Speaker 3: part of the Gulf Coast. We will have more in
3:54
Speaker 3: the future. We've had a lot in the past. But
3:57
Speaker 3: you know the way this one played out. Sunday night,
4:01
Speaker 3: I went to bed, and when I went to bed,
4:05
Speaker 3: it was actually it was a clear night, it wasn't
4:07
Speaker 3: even raining. And then it started coming in late at night.
4:11
Speaker 3: It started coming in at two and three in the morning,
4:14
Speaker 3: and it was a night where you would hear the
4:16
Speaker 3: rain pouring down and then you'd hear cracks, loud cracks,
4:20
Speaker 3: And in the morning you discovered what those loud cracks were,
4:24
Speaker 3: which were trees that were falling down. And on my
4:26
Speaker 3: street there are a whole bunch of trees that have
4:29
Speaker 3: fallen down. There are branches that have fallen down. They're
4:31
Speaker 3: huge oak trees and pine trees that were uprooted and
4:35
Speaker 3: thrown thrown across the street in some cases thrown into houses. Thankfully,
4:41
Speaker 3: my home didn't did not have any trees hit hit
4:44
Speaker 3: the home, but we did have a big branch in
4:45
Speaker 3: the backyard fall and rip some of the lighting down,
4:49
Speaker 3: but it did not hit the house or the damage
4:51
Speaker 3: the roof, so we're grateful for that. And then Monday,
4:56
Speaker 3: as as the rain cleared, I began and going and
5:01
Speaker 3: meeting with local officials and first responders. So one of
5:04
Speaker 3: the first things I did is I head down headed
5:07
Speaker 3: down to the Emergency Operations Center in Houston, and Houston
5:13
Speaker 3: was hit very hard, and so there I sat down
5:16
Speaker 3: with with fire firefighters, and the police department and and
5:22
Speaker 3: all of the city officials. So the Emergency Operations Unit,
5:25
Speaker 3: whenever you have a disaster, that's where everyone goes and
5:28
Speaker 3: and coordinates out of. It's where the mayor coordinates out of.
5:33
Speaker 3: It's in it's in northwest Houston. It's actually the same
5:35
Speaker 3: location as the central nine one one call center, and
5:39
Speaker 3: so in the room next to it, there's a massive
5:42
Speaker 3: room filled with operators that are dealing with with thousands
5:45
Speaker 3: of nine one one calls and tasking whoever the relevant
5:49
Speaker 3: people are and and listen in the immediate aftermath of
5:53
Speaker 3: a hurricane. There are a series of phases that occur
5:57
Speaker 3: in a disaster. The first phase is just saving people's lives.
6:00
Speaker 3: Lives and people are in harm's way, they need emergency responders.
6:05
Speaker 3: This hurricane Hurricane Beryl. The number of confirmed fatalities now
6:10
Speaker 3: is seven. There were multiple who were killed in Houston.
6:14
Speaker 3: There was one who was a police department civilian employee.
6:18
Speaker 3: He was driving in because for most most people they
6:22
Speaker 3: were told shelter in place, stay at home, don't go
6:24
Speaker 3: out on the roads, it's too dangerous to drive. But
6:27
Speaker 3: for first responders and emergency personnel, they were asked to
6:30
Speaker 3: come in to be there. And this police department employee
6:34
Speaker 3: was driving in and he drove into an underpass that
6:36
Speaker 3: was flooded and unfortunately was deeper than he expected, and
6:40
Speaker 3: it flooded his into his car and he drowned. And
6:45
Speaker 3: and I'll tell you that afternoon, I met with the
6:47
Speaker 3: mayor who had spent the last two hours at that
6:51
Speaker 3: underpass with the Houston Police Department searching for that body,
6:55
Speaker 3: and they found the body of their coworker. And so
6:57
Speaker 3: it was the mayor was shaken up. I mean, and
7:01
Speaker 3: any time you have a fatality. It's difficult, but it's
7:06
Speaker 3: particularly difficult when it's first responders who were searching for
7:10
Speaker 3: one of their own in Houston. Then we went through
7:15
Speaker 3: we went through all of the plans for how to
7:19
Speaker 3: ensure that people have the resources they need. The big
7:24
Speaker 3: biggest challenge statewide is power. Two point seven million Texans
7:30
Speaker 3: lost power. You lost power, I lost power. Much of
7:34
Speaker 3: the city of Houston was dark and that was through
7:37
Speaker 3: true throughout much of the Gulf Coast that the power
7:40
Speaker 3: lines went down. And so when I was sitting at
7:46
Speaker 3: the Emergency Operations Command Center, two of the people who
7:50
Speaker 3: were there were from Centerpoint, the power company, and they
7:54
Speaker 3: described that they were bringing in over ten thousand linemen
7:57
Speaker 3: linemen from around tech from other states, bringing them in
8:01
Speaker 3: to start restringing the power lines. And before they turn
8:04
Speaker 3: a power line back on, that that they have to
8:07
Speaker 3: walk the length of the power line to make sure
8:09
Speaker 3: that it's not torn down and that putting the power
8:12
Speaker 3: on doesn't start a fire, doesn't electrocute someone. And so
8:16
Speaker 3: it is a it can be a prolonged process. But
8:20
Speaker 3: part of the challenge of that is is in Houston
8:22
Speaker 3: and much of the affected areas, the traffic lights were
8:25
Speaker 3: out and not out as in flashing, but just jar off.
8:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, just dark. Well, I've never seen anything like it.
8:32
Speaker 2: Like you said, this is my first hurricane where I've been,
8:36
Speaker 2: you know, in it. And one of the things that
8:38
Speaker 2: was the most shocking, I think is just the number
8:41
Speaker 2: of people without power. I've never seen so much darkness
8:45
Speaker 2: as I saw at last night, and seeing like you said,
8:50
Speaker 2: not even flashing lights, just everything off.
8:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything was out and and I believe it is
8:57
Speaker 3: the record for the most people who've lost power in
9:00
Speaker 3: in Texas. It is more people lost power from Beryl
9:04
Speaker 3: than did during Hurricane Harvey. Now, Hurricane Harvey was a
9:07
Speaker 3: much more massive disaster. It still remains the second most
9:10
Speaker 3: costly natural disaster in US history because you had enormous flooding.
9:15
Speaker 3: But in this instance, we just had a lot a
9:17
Speaker 3: lot of power lines go down from trees, from trees
9:21
Speaker 3: falling and knocking the power lines down. We also had.
9:26
Speaker 1: A command center, and I wanted to ask you this.
9:29
Speaker 2: So the winds and obviously, like we mentioned, there was
9:33
Speaker 2: a lot of trees down, but this wasn't a Cat
9:35
Speaker 2: five no that came through. So did they say to
9:38
Speaker 2: you or explain why so many trees came down, was
9:41
Speaker 2: it the total time and it wasn't actually moving that fast,
9:44
Speaker 2: so it was more time to weaken the trees. Because
9:47
Speaker 2: when you look at the storm itself, it didn't seem
9:50
Speaker 2: like it was going to be something that was going
9:51
Speaker 2: to be this bad.
9:53
Speaker 3: No, they didn't. When Beryl first made landfall, it was
9:57
Speaker 3: initially a Category one and then a Category two hurricane.
10:01
Speaker 3: It had been in the Caribbean, it had been hired,
10:03
Speaker 3: had been as high as a Category four hurricane, but
10:05
Speaker 3: then it had lost his strength, and then it gained
10:07
Speaker 3: strength again as it came back and made landfall into Texas.
10:11
Speaker 3: Category one hurricane is seventy four to ninety five miles
10:14
Speaker 3: an hour of wind, and it's a dangerous hurricane. Category
10:18
Speaker 3: two is ninety six to one hundred and ten mile
10:20
Speaker 3: per hour wind. So Beryl had winds of about one
10:23
Speaker 3: hundred miles an hour a little bit more than that.
10:25
Speaker 3: That's a lot, but you know, a Category five hurricane
10:29
Speaker 3: is one hundred and fifty seven miles an hour faster,
10:31
Speaker 3: So it's it was not in the order of hurricanes
10:35
Speaker 3: among the strongest in wind. But what happened, you know,
10:39
Speaker 3: it was interesting. I think back to something like Hurricane Harvey,
10:42
Speaker 3: where we saw a lot of trees that had snapped,
10:45
Speaker 3: a lot of telephone poles that had snapped. You know,
10:47
Speaker 3: what happened with this is a lot of trees were uprooted,
10:50
Speaker 3: and part of it is there was so much rain
10:53
Speaker 3: that the soil got very moist, and then the wind
10:55
Speaker 3: would literally blow the tree over and so the roots
10:58
Speaker 3: would come straight out and the entire tree would topple.
11:01
Speaker 3: And so I saw as I was driving around, and
11:03
Speaker 3: I spent a lot of time touring around and seeing
11:07
Speaker 3: the damage, I saw a lot of trees that had
11:09
Speaker 3: been toppled altogether. And that may be it may be
11:13
Speaker 3: the combination of rain and wind, but I don't know.
11:16
Speaker 3: But for whatever reason, the number of power lines that
11:21
Speaker 3: went out exceeded certainly any hurricane in recent history.
11:27
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that are probably going to
11:28
Speaker 2: be listening that don't have power. Maybe they've charged their
11:31
Speaker 2: phones in their car and they're looking for something to
11:34
Speaker 2: take their mind off that.
11:35
Speaker 1: What is it looking like for power restoration? What did
11:38
Speaker 1: they brief you on.
11:39
Speaker 3: Well, that they're systematically making improvements on power restoration. As
11:43
Speaker 3: I said, they had brought in over ten thousand Linemen. Now,
11:46
Speaker 3: I will say there was a story that broke today
11:49
Speaker 3: that was actually get really going after Center Point for
11:53
Speaker 3: not having staged out of state Linemen to be prepared
11:57
Speaker 3: early on. And there was some real frustration that was
12:01
Speaker 3: expressed in terms of Center Point the electric company not
12:07
Speaker 3: taking the threat of the of this storm coming to
12:09
Speaker 3: Houston seriously enough. Now, today I was down in Galveston,
12:14
Speaker 3: I was down at Jamaica Beach. I was down in
12:17
Speaker 3: Angleton and Freeport, and and and when I was in Galveston,
12:21
Speaker 3: we did a meeting with Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. He
12:24
Speaker 3: is the acting governor right now because Greg Abbott is
12:28
Speaker 3: actually over in Korea on a long planned trip that
12:30
Speaker 3: he had he had been on, and so so the
12:33
Speaker 3: lieutenant governs the acting governor. And it was interesting, and
12:36
Speaker 3: we did a press conference afterwards where reporters were really
12:39
Speaker 3: grilling the Lieutenant governor about are you angry at Centerpoint?
12:43
Speaker 3: And I'll say, actually, Dan Patrick's a good friend of mine.
12:47
Speaker 3: But to his credit, he gave the right answer, which is, look,
12:50
Speaker 3: we need to concentrate right now and getting people's power restored.
12:53
Speaker 1: There will be.
12:54
Speaker 3: Plenty of time to go back and assess what mistakes,
12:57
Speaker 3: if any were made, but the time to do it
12:59
Speaker 3: is not at a time of emergency. And one of
13:03
Speaker 3: the things for folks that listen listen to verdict who
13:06
Speaker 3: are not not in Texas, you may not necessarily understand
13:10
Speaker 3: why power being down for an extended period of time
13:13
Speaker 3: is a health risk. But particularly in a place like
13:16
Speaker 3: Houston where it is incredibly hot, you run a real
13:20
Speaker 3: risk of heat stroke of people without air conditioning their
13:25
Speaker 3: health being at risk. There was down in Galveston. There
13:29
Speaker 3: was a gentleman who died because the power went out
13:31
Speaker 3: and he was on oxygen and the machine giving him
13:35
Speaker 3: oxygen lost power and he didn't have any more batteries
13:37
Speaker 3: and that cost his life. There also are people who
13:41
Speaker 3: died from carbon monoxide poisoning. So a second thing that
13:44
Speaker 3: happens is people set up generators when their power goes down,
13:48
Speaker 3: but they don't realize that a generator that has say
13:51
Speaker 3: a gasoline or diesel engine, is emitting carbon dioxide, which
13:56
Speaker 3: is odorless and and invisible. But if you breathe it
14:01
Speaker 3: in So if it's in your house, which is a
14:03
Speaker 3: terrible idea, if it's even near the house and near
14:05
Speaker 3: a window, you can die from.
14:06
Speaker 1: That finally center on this.
14:10
Speaker 2: There are some people that listen, and they may be
14:12
Speaker 2: out of Texas that are listening and they say, hey,
14:14
Speaker 2: we'd love to help. What are the needs and how
14:16
Speaker 2: can you help people?
14:17
Speaker 3: Well, let me say the number one thing people can
14:19
Speaker 3: do is here in Texas. You mentioned that you were
14:22
Speaker 3: helping your neighbors clean up trees, clean up, clean up
14:26
Speaker 3: all of the debris that's happening all over Texas. And
14:29
Speaker 3: I have to say, you know, it's been twelve years
14:31
Speaker 3: I've been in the Senate. I've seen dozens, if not
14:34
Speaker 3: hundreds of disasters over that time period. Texas is a
14:37
Speaker 3: big place. And whether it's hurricanes or tornadoes up in
14:41
Speaker 3: the Panhandler Dallas, or the wildfires that were in the Panhandles,
14:45
Speaker 3: every time we have a crisis, we see the same thing,
14:49
Speaker 3: which is we see Texans helping Texans. We see people
14:52
Speaker 3: helping each other out. We see people rescuing people from
14:56
Speaker 3: harm's way. Yesterday, as I was going through Houston, I
14:59
Speaker 3: help one gentleman lift up his fence and pull it
15:04
Speaker 3: out of the way. We stopped at another place and
15:07
Speaker 3: helped a family who was trying to trying to cut
15:10
Speaker 3: up a tree and dispose of the pieces of the tree.
15:13
Speaker 3: That's happening every day. And I'll tell you the churches
15:16
Speaker 3: in particular are incredibly active. And I'll give an example.
15:19
Speaker 3: Yesterday I went and visited someone you and I both
15:22
Speaker 3: know well, Mattress Mack. Mattress Mack is a Houston legend.
15:27
Speaker 3: He is a man named Jim mcinvale. He owns Gallery Furniture.
15:31
Speaker 3: I grew up as a kid. He would be late
15:33
Speaker 3: night on TV and he'd run these ads. He'd be
15:36
Speaker 3: yelling on TV, going gallery Furniture, really well, save you money,
15:40
Speaker 3: and he'd pull out a lot of money and look.
15:44
Speaker 3: It would be on Channel twenty six or thirty nine,
15:46
Speaker 3: which were the UHF channels, but he ran him constantly.
15:50
Speaker 3: He's an amazing marketer. But he also has an incredible
15:54
Speaker 3: heart for Houston. And so what he did during Hurricane
15:56
Speaker 3: Harvey and what did during Hurricane Beryl. He opened up
16:00
Speaker 3: Gallery Furniture and he said, number one, if you need
16:02
Speaker 3: a place to stay, if your home is destroyed, come
16:07
Speaker 3: stay here. We have beds, we have couches, we have chairs.
16:10
Speaker 3: And he also said, if you need food, come we
16:13
Speaker 3: have food. And so I went and visited Mattress back
16:15
Speaker 3: at Gallery Furniture yesterday. There were number of Houstonians who
16:18
Speaker 3: were taking shelter there yesterday. Mac tested me last night.
16:23
Speaker 3: He fed over three thousand Houstonians yesterday. Because all the
16:27
Speaker 3: restaurants were closed. You couldn't get food. And by the way,
16:30
Speaker 3: if your power is out, your refrigerator or the food
16:33
Speaker 3: in there is spoiling. And so he just did. They
16:35
Speaker 3: were making brisket and they were just feeding people. If
16:38
Speaker 3: you want to help, you can help through your church.
16:41
Speaker 3: You can help through the Red Cross, you can help
16:42
Speaker 3: through the Salvation Army.
16:44
Speaker 4: You know.
16:44
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one other story, which is today, I
16:48
Speaker 3: was down in Jamaica Beach, which is a smaller beach
16:51
Speaker 3: that's part of Galveston, and it was hit pretty hard.
16:54
Speaker 3: And I'm visited with a woman whose house was hit
16:58
Speaker 3: by a tornado that's spawned within the hurricane, and the
17:02
Speaker 3: tornado pulled the roof off her house. I saw the house,
17:05
Speaker 3: I saw the roof that had been flung across the road,
17:08
Speaker 3: and she described how she called nine to one one
17:11
Speaker 3: and the chief of police was there, she said, within
17:14
Speaker 3: sixty seconds, and the chief of police. Jamaica Beach is
17:18
Speaker 3: a small town, but he came in and he rescued her.
17:21
Speaker 3: He brought her out, brought her to the police station,
17:23
Speaker 3: which was very close to where her house was. Now,
17:27
Speaker 3: what was interesting is the police officers. I was touring
17:29
Speaker 3: around the destruction and visiting with the mayor and the
17:32
Speaker 3: chief of police and the fire chief and the local officials.
17:35
Speaker 3: They showed me another house just a few houses down
17:38
Speaker 3: that a big chunk of the roof had come off,
17:41
Speaker 3: and an officer had come up and come up the
17:42
Speaker 3: stairs and said, you know, sir, do you need to
17:45
Speaker 3: be rescued? And the guy said, you know, no, I'm
17:47
Speaker 3: just fine. I'm in my bathroom. Leave me alone, which
17:51
Speaker 3: I have to admit is a very texted thing to do.
17:53
Speaker 1: Also, there's always some people that just sort of.
17:56
Speaker 3: Brave it out. But that pattern of people helping people
18:02
Speaker 3: helping each other, it is consistent and is inspiring. And
18:08
Speaker 3: what's cool about it, Ben is when that happens, there
18:12
Speaker 3: are no Republicans and Democrats. There is no race, there
18:15
Speaker 3: is no ethnicity, there is no religion. You just have
18:18
Speaker 3: Texans helping Texans. You have brothers and sisters helping each other,
18:21
Speaker 3: and it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. I am never prouder
18:25
Speaker 3: to be a Texan than seeing how people respond in
18:28
Speaker 3: times of crisis.
18:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, aim into that and watching other people help people,
18:32
Speaker 2: like you said, is really I think one of the
18:35
Speaker 2: great goods that comes out of these type of events
18:39
Speaker 2: is that neighbors meet neighbors, and neighbors become friends and
18:43
Speaker 2: people help one another. And it's incredible to see that
18:45
Speaker 2: Texas spirit as you describe it, that no doubt about it.
18:48
Speaker 3: Well, and the church and the church does what the
18:51
Speaker 3: church should do, which is the church should be helping people.
18:54
Speaker 3: The Church should be feeding people, the Church should be
18:57
Speaker 3: clothing people. And particularly in times of christ is we
19:00
Speaker 3: see the church stepping up and that's really important in
19:04
Speaker 3: terms of making a difference.
19:05
Speaker 1: Yeah.
19:06
Speaker 2: Absolutely want to talk about what's happening also in DC.
19:09
Speaker 2: We're going to deal with that in a moment, but
19:10
Speaker 2: first let me tell you about our friends over a
19:12
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile. If you have a cell phone and your
19:15
Speaker 2: cell phone is a big mobile, you may not realize this,
19:18
Speaker 2: but you've been helping a lot of democratic candidates, causes
19:22
Speaker 2: and radical organizations including Planned Parenthood. Yeah, Big Mobile are
19:26
Speaker 2: big supporters of the left, and they're fighting against your
19:29
Speaker 2: values and that is exactly why. Ten years ago, more
19:33
Speaker 2: than ten years ago, actually, Patriot Mobile was started by
19:35
Speaker 2: a group of consertives that said, hey, we're not going
19:38
Speaker 2: to give our money these companies that are giving our
19:40
Speaker 2: cash when we pay our bill to plan parenthood into
19:43
Speaker 2: other organizations like that, they started Patriot Mobile, and now,
19:48
Speaker 2: more than ever, in twenty twenty four, it is easy
19:50
Speaker 2: to switch your provider. You get to keep your same
19:54
Speaker 2: number you have now, you get to keep your same
19:57
Speaker 2: exact service because they all use the same towers now
19:59
Speaker 2: we take now in twenty twenty four. And that's another
20:02
Speaker 2: reason why you should call Patriot Mobile. I've switched my
20:06
Speaker 2: lines over and I can tell you my coverage is phenomenal.
20:10
Speaker 2: Even during this hurricane, I had the service that I needed.
20:14
Speaker 2: So if you want to make the switch, call them
20:17
Speaker 2: right now. Because here's the fun part. When you pay
20:19
Speaker 2: your bill every month, that no extra cost to you.
20:21
Speaker 2: They take about five percent of that bill and they
20:23
Speaker 2: give it directly back to organizations and causes. It support
20:27
Speaker 2: free speech, really just freedom, the sanctity of life, the
20:31
Speaker 2: Second Amendment. And then they do this they support our military,
20:34
Speaker 2: our veterans, our first responders, and our wounded warrior heroes.
20:39
Speaker 2: So stop giving your mind to companies that hate your
20:41
Speaker 2: values and stand with a company that supports what we
20:44
Speaker 2: believe in. Just go to Patriotmobile dot com slash Verdict,
20:48
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile dot com slash vertict or give them a
20:52
Speaker 2: buzz nine seven to two Patriot. That's nine to seven
20:56
Speaker 2: to two Patriot. Use the promo code Verdict. You will
20:59
Speaker 2: also get free activation nine to seven two Patriot or
21:03
Speaker 2: Patriotmobile dot com slash Verdict Centator. I want to get
21:07
Speaker 2: to what's happening. Obviously in DC it is still a
21:10
Speaker 2: full blown civil war within the Democratic Party right now.
21:15
Speaker 2: The President trying a new tactic sending letters to major
21:20
Speaker 2: players and Democratic parties saying hey and notes, I'm the guy.
21:25
Speaker 2: You're not going to get rid of me. You can
21:26
Speaker 2: panic all you want to, but we're not moving. And
21:31
Speaker 2: this is more Democrats have actually been coming out publicly
21:34
Speaker 2: saying he must step aside.
21:37
Speaker 3: Well, that's right. It's it's been a virtual avalanche of
21:41
Speaker 3: number one Democrats trying to push him out, but number
21:44
Speaker 3: two the media really freaking out, and the corporate media
21:47
Speaker 3: has been in many ways the most important ally of
21:52
Speaker 3: the Democrats. They've been radicalized, they've abandoned their role of
21:56
Speaker 3: journalism because they are the left wing of the Democrat Party.
22:01
Speaker 3: It is striking to suddenly see the corporate media actually
22:06
Speaker 3: reporting on the the very significant health challenges uh that
22:12
Speaker 3: that that Biden is presenting. And by the way, those
22:15
Speaker 3: health challenges were there before the debate. They're just freaking
22:18
Speaker 3: out now because they don't think he can win. But
22:21
Speaker 3: but for example, I want folks to listen to this
22:24
Speaker 3: is a story that that that that NBC News ran today.
22:28
Speaker 3: Now this is not Fox News, this is not a
22:31
Speaker 3: right wing source. This is Nbcity.
22:33
Speaker 2: Say, can you just take a moment and let's just
22:35
Speaker 2: savor the not only hypocrisy, but the fact that you
22:38
Speaker 2: just said, this is NBC News that's doing.
22:42
Speaker 1: What we're about to play. You just give a listen
22:45
Speaker 1: to talk more about.
22:46
Speaker 4: Those eight White House visits by the Parkinson's expert. I'm
22:49
Speaker 4: joined tonight by doctor Tom Pitts. He's a quadruple board
22:52
Speaker 4: certified neurologist. He sees patients with Parkinson's all the time,
22:56
Speaker 4: he diagnoses it. I want to be completely transparent here.
22:59
Speaker 4: You've never exist and President Biden, from my knowledge, you
23:01
Speaker 4: never even spoke.
23:02
Speaker 1: Have you spoken yet? That's a President.
23:04
Speaker 5: Biden in the Yeah, and we're just going to use
23:07
Speaker 5: what we have so far, which is what we've seen
23:09
Speaker 5: the president's interviews and the information coming out of the
23:11
Speaker 5: White House. So my first question to you is, as
23:13
Speaker 5: somebody who's a neurologist, what you've seen from the president
23:16
Speaker 5: over the last two years, what you saw at the debate,
23:19
Speaker 5: the last few interviews, the way he speaks, the way
23:22
Speaker 5: maybe he walks.
23:23
Speaker 4: Have you noticed anything that gives you a red flag?
23:26
Speaker 1: As a doctor?
23:27
Speaker 4: Oh?
23:27
Speaker 6: Yeah, I see him twenty times a day in clinic.
23:29
Speaker 6: I mean it's ironic because he has just classic features
23:32
Speaker 6: of nerd degeneration. I mean word finding difficulties. And that's
23:35
Speaker 6: not oh I couldn't find the word. That's from degeneration
23:38
Speaker 6: of the word retrieval area.
23:39
Speaker 4: He's also overcome stuttering though, could that be part of
23:42
Speaker 4: that too.
23:43
Speaker 6: No, this is not a palattle issue or a speech discrepancy,
23:46
Speaker 6: which is very different from a lemon nod dysfunction actual
23:48
Speaker 6: word retrieval where you pick a similar question or talk
23:51
Speaker 6: around the issue. Plus the rigidity monotone voice.
23:55
Speaker 1: Wait, go back to that.
23:56
Speaker 6: The rigidity, rigid loss of arms, swinging, standing up, lordly.
24:00
Speaker 6: You notice when he turns, it's kind of n block turning.
24:03
Speaker 6: It's not a quick turn. So that's one of the
24:06
Speaker 6: hallmarks of Parkinson's is rigidity and brady Kinesia's slow movement,
24:11
Speaker 6: and he has that hallmark, especially with the low voices.
24:14
Speaker 6: That was a cold hypophonia. A small monotone voice like
24:19
Speaker 6: this over time is a hallmark of parkinsonism. I could
24:22
Speaker 6: have diagnosed him from across the mall.
24:24
Speaker 2: Let's just stop there and we'll play more of this,
24:26
Speaker 2: But I have to get your this reaction. If you
24:30
Speaker 2: had a conservative news outlet, let's just use Fox News
24:35
Speaker 2: Channel for example, that would have done this same exact
24:38
Speaker 2: segment three and a half weeks ago.
24:41
Speaker 1: They would have.
24:42
Speaker 2: Been calling for this, for this doctor to be to
24:46
Speaker 2: lose his medical license. They would have the White House
24:49
Speaker 2: would have fought back vigorously and said that this is
24:52
Speaker 2: just evil and sick and perverted, and that this is irresponsible.
24:56
Speaker 2: But NBC News is doing it now, trying to take
24:59
Speaker 2: out Joe Biden because they think he's gonna lose, and
25:02
Speaker 2: they give a doctor six minutes. We've only played a
25:05
Speaker 2: minute and a half of this to tell you why
25:08
Speaker 2: he believes the president has Parkinson's.
25:11
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it's stunning, and you're right. The corporate media
25:15
Speaker 3: would have lost their mind a month ago. If any
25:18
Speaker 3: right of center center outlet aired this identical piece, The
25:21
Speaker 3: New York Times would be clutching their pearls. They would say,
25:24
Speaker 3: this is this is voodoo medicine, this is that, this
25:27
Speaker 3: is an utter lie, this is unprincipled fiction. That's what
25:31
Speaker 3: they would have said. And now you see NBC, you
25:35
Speaker 3: see the corporate media desperately, desperately trying to do everything
25:39
Speaker 3: they can. My favorite line of this doctor was I
25:42
Speaker 3: would have diagnosed him from across the mall, which, by
25:46
Speaker 3: the way, you and I argued right before we tape
25:49
Speaker 3: this pod. You thought he meant the National Mall. I
25:52
Speaker 3: don't think so. I think he means like Joe's Shopping Center.
25:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, you may be right. And by the way, NBC,
26:01
Speaker 2: was it done. Listen to the second part of this.
26:05
Speaker 6: I'm up there on the screen if you can put
26:06
Speaker 6: him back.
26:07
Speaker 1: What about the movement?
26:08
Speaker 4: Some people have pointed out the way he walks sometimes
26:11
Speaker 4: it's not very fast, small steps. Is that something that
26:14
Speaker 4: that is common in people were battling a.
26:16
Speaker 6: Disease like Parkinson it's a hallmark shuffling gait. We call
26:19
Speaker 6: that so little steps, loss of arms, swing from the
26:22
Speaker 6: rigidity when we walk, we have a nice cadence. He
26:24
Speaker 6: you knows he doesn't really swing his arms and ND
26:26
Speaker 6: block turning, meaning he kind of pivots around his foot.
26:30
Speaker 6: If you said, hey, President Biden, he wouldn't go like this.
26:33
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, But I also.
26:34
Speaker 1: Know I also don't tell me if I'm wrong here.
26:36
Speaker 1: It's very hard to diagnose Parkinson's, isn't it. It's not
26:39
Speaker 1: It's not simple. I mean I've heard that it can be.
26:41
Speaker 6: I heard the one of the easier movement disorders to diagnose. Actually, right,
26:45
Speaker 6: but it's so clinic. There's there's very little others. And
26:47
Speaker 6: I'm you know, I'm a Democrat. I always say, yeah,
26:49
Speaker 6: at this right, It's just like this guy is not
26:51
Speaker 6: a hard case.
26:52
Speaker 4: But I've had I've had relatives who have gone through issues,
26:54
Speaker 4: neurological issues, and I've heard that sometimes Parkinson's is not
26:58
Speaker 4: very easy to nail.
26:59
Speaker 1: You have to take a lot of there's I mean.
27:01
Speaker 6: It's early on if you're just present with like hallucinations
27:04
Speaker 6: that could be a variety of things or just the
27:06
Speaker 6: cognitive problems that could be Alzheimer's versus parkinsonism, and that
27:10
Speaker 6: becomes a little nebulous. But once you start manifesting the
27:13
Speaker 6: hallmark motor symptoms, right, slow movement, rigidity, mass faces, hypophonia.
27:18
Speaker 6: I mean, if a med student did not pick Parkinson's
27:21
Speaker 6: on the test, they.
27:22
Speaker 4: Just mediated, let me ask you if you had. If
27:24
Speaker 4: you had, you know, and I know you can't. You
27:27
Speaker 4: have no idea what happened in the White House. But
27:28
Speaker 4: a neurologist coming eight times in eight months, does that
27:31
Speaker 4: tell you anything?
27:32
Speaker 1: Is that? Is that?
27:32
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're just you're just sort of
27:35
Speaker 4: speculating here, but does that tell you anything?
27:37
Speaker 7: Or no?
27:37
Speaker 6: Well, I mean I don't know if they're like the
27:38
Speaker 6: best of friends or something. But that's a very specific
27:40
Speaker 6: you know, he's a movement disorder. That's a subspecialist and
27:43
Speaker 6: exactly what he has. And there's very few young people,
27:46
Speaker 6: like a marine guard, most people would be med boarded
27:49
Speaker 6: out for any type of movement disorder at a young age,
27:51
Speaker 6: Like if you had Huntington's Korea early on set Parkinson's dystonia,
27:56
Speaker 6: bad essential tremor, you're usually med boarded out.
27:59
Speaker 1: So I highly doubt there's does that mean med boarder.
28:01
Speaker 1: I mean the.
28:01
Speaker 6: Military would not let you if you have seizures, for example,
28:04
Speaker 6: you cannot usually be in the military.
28:06
Speaker 1: That is, you are medical saying.
28:07
Speaker 4: You're seeing you don't necessarily believe. And they're not saying this,
28:11
Speaker 4: but they said, there's thousands of military members that go
28:13
Speaker 4: to the White House that treated there.
28:15
Speaker 1: For health reasons.
28:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're not buying that that's a random military person.
28:20
Speaker 6: No, that would be very odd to just see a
28:22
Speaker 6: random movement disorder case at the White House, you know,
28:25
Speaker 6: especially a young guard. There are many young people that
28:27
Speaker 6: have movement disorders that could be in the military.
28:30
Speaker 1: And then let's just stop there.
28:32
Speaker 2: Not only did they bring the Parkinson's doctor on, they
28:35
Speaker 2: then set them up to say the White House are
28:38
Speaker 2: lying to you and they're liars. They're not treating thousands
28:42
Speaker 2: of people on the White House grounds for medical disorders
28:46
Speaker 2: as he described it. And the doctor's like, you wouldn't
28:49
Speaker 2: do those tests there by the way, I believe this doctor.
28:51
Speaker 2: I think it's absurd to tell the American people, as
28:54
Speaker 2: the White House did this week, that oh, this guy's
28:57
Speaker 2: coming once a month for eight months in a row
28:59
Speaker 2: to treat Thou's a military personnel that happened to work
29:02
Speaker 2: at the White House. This guy's saying, there's no way
29:04
Speaker 2: that happens.
29:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, look the symptoms that he's describing. Everyone who had eyes,
29:11
Speaker 3: everyone who's watched Joe Biden for the last three and
29:13
Speaker 3: a half years has seen those symptoms. They've been obvious.
29:16
Speaker 3: Is just now that the press is allowing them to
29:18
Speaker 3: be spoken of. And I got to say, just the contrast.
29:22
Speaker 3: So let me read a headline from NBC News which was,
29:26
Speaker 3: quote Biden hasn't seen neurologists outside annual physicals, white House
29:32
Speaker 3: doctor says in letter addressing Parkinson's expert visits. President Joe
29:36
Speaker 3: Biden had a physical in February and showed no signs
29:39
Speaker 3: of neurological disorder, including Parkinson's disease. White House physician Kevin
29:44
Speaker 3: O'Connor wrote, So that was just a few days ago.
29:46
Speaker 3: Now let me read you what the AP just reported.
29:48
Speaker 3: Quote President Joe Biden saw a neurologist at the White
29:52
Speaker 3: House on January seventeenth for a neurological exam, the results
29:56
Speaker 3: of which were later reported as part of his annual physical.
29:59
Speaker 3: More than a month later, or the White House said
30:00
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. The confirmation came after White House Press Secretary
30:04
Speaker 3: Kaarin John Pierre inaccurately said during the Daily briefing with
30:08
Speaker 3: reporters that the January seventeen meeting was not related to
30:11
Speaker 3: care for the President in response to a question from
30:15
Speaker 3: the Associated Press. So now the White House is just
30:18
Speaker 3: getting caught flat out lying that no, he's not seeing
30:21
Speaker 3: a neurologist. Well, yes he is, actually, and it happens
30:24
Speaker 3: to be the neurologist who's an expert in Parkinson's.
30:28
Speaker 2: So this brings me to the big question the president
30:33
Speaker 2: sending the notes. You have the squad that's backed in
30:36
Speaker 2: the Congressional Black Caucus is saying, hey, we need to
30:39
Speaker 2: put this all to bed. Joe's our guide. Joe's made
30:42
Speaker 2: it clear, Hey, I'm not going anywhere. He did that
30:44
Speaker 2: on morning Joe. We mentioned that my last pot, I think.
30:48
Speaker 2: And then you've got this going on with the media.
30:52
Speaker 2: They're still putting the four court press here saying not
30:55
Speaker 2: only is a White House lying to you, but we're
30:58
Speaker 2: going to prove it in essence. That's why they did
31:00
Speaker 2: this long interview. Now you gotta look at the calendar.
31:05
Speaker 2: Joe Biden is supposed to be on the debate stage
31:07
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump September tenth on ABC News. ABC News,
31:14
Speaker 2: by the way, has been attacking the president as well.
31:16
Speaker 2: Stepanopoulos said after doing the interview with the President that
31:20
Speaker 2: was supposed to quote save him the other day, that
31:22
Speaker 2: he said, there's no way he believes the president could
31:24
Speaker 2: serve for another four years.
31:27
Speaker 1: Does he show up with this debate? Does he cancel it?
31:31
Speaker 2: Does he have to show up to have a chance
31:33
Speaker 2: in helln in November if he's still the nominee.
31:36
Speaker 3: So I don't believe there will be a debate between
31:38
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and Joe Biden in September. I don't think
31:42
Speaker 3: it'll happen now. Look, I don't think Joe Biden will
31:44
Speaker 3: be the nominee in September. I continue to believe there's
31:47
Speaker 3: an eighty percent chance that he's not the nominee. He's
31:50
Speaker 3: digging in, he's holding on with all of his might.
31:53
Speaker 3: But all right, here's another story that shows the press
31:56
Speaker 3: turning on him. This is from the Wall Street Journal quote.
32:00
Speaker 3: German officials, aware of Biden's fatigue at night, sought to
32:04
Speaker 3: accommodate the president by planning a June twenty twenty two
32:07
Speaker 3: event with German Chancellor Olaf Schultz in the early evening.
32:12
Speaker 3: The informal event, a soiree at the alpine resort Schlas
32:16
Speaker 3: el Maou during the Group of Seven summit, was arranged
32:20
Speaker 3: as a confidential meeting on Ukraine in a relaxed setting.
32:24
Speaker 3: Biden didn't show, surprising the Chancellor and his aides, officials said. Instead,
32:30
Speaker 3: Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived and announced that Biden
32:34
Speaker 3: had to go to bed. According to two people who
32:36
Speaker 3: were there, so he is now no longer able to
32:39
Speaker 3: stay up to meet with heads of state to discuss
32:43
Speaker 3: matters of war and peace. That's dangerous and the press
32:47
Speaker 3: is reporting on it.
32:50
Speaker 2: And to make that point, Peter Doucy asked the question
32:55
Speaker 2: at the White House from Fox Today. Hey, if the
32:58
Speaker 2: president's only the president until I don't know, eight o'clock
33:01
Speaker 2: at night, what happens if someone shoots at nuke?
33:04
Speaker 1: Listen to this well.
33:06
Speaker 6: He also said he's sharpest before eight pm. So say
33:10
Speaker 6: that the Pentagon at some point picks up an incoming nuke,
33:14
Speaker 6: it's eleven pm.
33:15
Speaker 1: Who do you call the first lady?
33:18
Speaker 8: He has a team that lets him know of any
33:21
Speaker 8: of any news that is pertinent and important to the
33:23
Speaker 8: American people. He has someone or that is decided obviously
33:28
Speaker 8: with his National Security Council, and who gets to tell
33:31
Speaker 8: him that news.
33:33
Speaker 2: I mean, even her response was so timid because like, yeah,
33:37
Speaker 2: you got us there. That was just weird. She's like,
33:40
Speaker 2: he's got a team. So is the team running the
33:43
Speaker 2: country or people that are elected by no one running
33:46
Speaker 2: the country after eight o'clock at night. Now, before you
33:49
Speaker 2: answer that, I want to take a moment and say
33:52
Speaker 2: thank you to so many of you that have gotten
33:55
Speaker 2: involved to help the people in Israel. Since October the seventh,
33:58
Speaker 2: the attacks in Israel have increased, with a Ran and
34:02
Speaker 2: its proxies launching attack after attack, day after day, week
34:07
Speaker 2: after week, month after month from drones and missiles. Israelis
34:12
Speaker 2: have been living with a harsh reality of real terror
34:16
Speaker 2: every single day. That is where your help has come in.
34:20
Speaker 2: The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been on
34:23
Speaker 2: the ground day one addressing all of the urgent needs
34:27
Speaker 2: and those constantly keep changing. That is why I want
34:31
Speaker 2: you to help with the people in Israel that need
34:35
Speaker 2: it now more than ever. IFCJ is continuing to prepare
34:39
Speaker 2: for the worst by packing emergency bomb shelter kits which
34:43
Speaker 2: are being used and now need to be replenished, and

Speaker 2: online to support IFCJ dot org to give. That's one
35:40
Speaker 2: word support IFCJ dot org to give center. I gotta
35:46
Speaker 2: go back to just the White House here for her
35:49
Speaker 2: response is he has a team, so calm down.
35:53
Speaker 1: The president's sleeping.
35:54
Speaker 2: I don't think that sits well with the American people anymore.
35:58
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't that's actually it terrifying response that if
36:01
Speaker 3: something happens at eleven PM, well, Joe Biden's not capable
36:05
Speaker 3: to deal with it, but he has a team. There's
36:06
Speaker 3: some underlaying appointed to the National Security Council, and the
36:09
Speaker 3: Underlincoln deal with it. And you know, in response to that,
36:13
Speaker 3: I want to play a political ad. Just listen to
36:16
Speaker 3: this ad and then we're going to talk about what
36:18
Speaker 3: it was.
36:19
Speaker 7: It's three am and your children are safe into sleep,
36:23
Speaker 7: but there's a phone in the White House, and it's
36:25
Speaker 7: really something's happening in the world. Your vote will decide
36:29
Speaker 7: who answers that call, whether it's someone who already knows
36:33
Speaker 7: the world's leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready
36:36
Speaker 7: to lead in a dangerous world. It's three am and
36:40
Speaker 7: your children are safe into sleep. Who do you want
36:43
Speaker 7: answering the phone?
36:46
Speaker 6: I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.
36:49
Speaker 2: No, I mean they made this the issue, mister senator,
36:53
Speaker 2: right like they're like, you want to be mister president,
36:55
Speaker 2: then you better answer that call at three am.
36:58
Speaker 3: Well, and let me say to folks listening to this podcast,
37:01
Speaker 3: to who are relatively young, you may not have heard
37:05
Speaker 3: that ad before. You might have been thinking as you're
37:07
Speaker 3: listening to this ad, Wow, this is a new Trump ad.
37:10
Speaker 3: This is a really powerful Trump ad. But then at
37:13
Speaker 3: the very end you get I'm Hillary Clinton and I
37:15
Speaker 3: approved this message. So Hillary Clinton ran that ad in
37:19
Speaker 3: the year two thousand and eight, and she was running
37:22
Speaker 3: it against Barack Obama. She was saying Barack Obama was
37:25
Speaker 3: young and inexperienced, and she was much better able to
37:28
Speaker 3: answer the phone than he was. Now, regardless of who
37:32
Speaker 3: was right in that argument, Today's Biden Whitehouse. It's not
37:36
Speaker 3: a three am phone call. They're saying at eleven pm, sorry,
37:40
Speaker 3: there is no commander in chief, but you know the
37:42
Speaker 3: deputy special assistant is here and ready to solve the problem.
37:46
Speaker 2: Well, it also says the world leaders, and it is
37:48
Speaker 2: terrifying to think about this, Hey, here are the best
37:51
Speaker 2: hours to do something, whether it's attack this country, whether
37:56
Speaker 2: you're a terrorists, or whether it's to do something around
37:58
Speaker 2: the world, because this will be a long period of
38:01
Speaker 2: time before you get a awake president that would even
38:06
Speaker 2: respond or say anything.
38:09
Speaker 3: You know it is. It's why I do not believe
38:14
Speaker 3: Biden is going to be the nominee, because the facts
38:17
Speaker 3: are piling up and it's becoming indefensible. It may be
38:21
Speaker 3: Michelle Obama, it may be Kamala Harris, but I think
38:25
Speaker 3: the d's that they are going to pull the plug.
38:29
Speaker 3: They are terrified, they are panicking, and every day as
38:33
Speaker 3: the press continues to turn. Look, you mentioned George Stephanopolis.
38:39
Speaker 3: George Stephanopolis was asked if he could serve any four
38:45
Speaker 3: more years, and he says no, he doesn't think he can.
38:48
Speaker 3: And then Stephanopolis backed away and said, quote earlier today,
38:52
Speaker 3: I responded to a question from a passer by, I
38:54
Speaker 3: shouldn't have. So he's backing away from telling the truth exactly. Well,
39:00
Speaker 3: you know that they try not to do that, the press.
39:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's again. I go back to what I said
39:07
Speaker 2: on this show. I don't know a week ago. I
39:09
Speaker 2: think they've got another what eight ten days here to
39:13
Speaker 2: go all in to try to get them out, and
39:15
Speaker 2: after that they may be stuck with this guy. But now,
39:18
Speaker 2: look your prediction, you've been right for quite a few times.
39:22
Speaker 2: It still could be somebody at the convention, and that
39:25
Speaker 2: somebody could still be Michelle Obama. Do you still think
39:28
Speaker 2: there's a decent chance of that.
39:30
Speaker 3: I stayed by the same odds I had on Monday's podcast.
39:34
Speaker 3: I think there is a twenty percent chance the Democrat
39:37
Speaker 3: nominee is Joe Biden. I think there's a forty percent
39:40
Speaker 3: chance the Democrat nominee is Michelle Obama. And I think
39:43
Speaker 3: there's a forty percent chance the Democratic nominee is Kamala Harris.
39:47
Speaker 1: There you have it.
39:48
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep you updated on this obviously. Say prayers
39:51
Speaker 2: for all those in that are suffering in Texas right now,
39:55
Speaker 2: and help your neighbors out if you can. The Center
39:58
Speaker 2: and I will be back with you on Friday morning.
