Is the UK's Assault on Free Speech Coming to America? plus Harris & Walz Run Away from their own Radical Records · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome. It is verdicuous.
0:02
Speaker 2: Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, Senator, there is
0:06
Speaker 2: a big war going on when it comes to free speech,
0:09
Speaker 2: not just in this country but around the world, and
0:11
Speaker 2: real concerns about what could happen with Harris in charge
0:15
Speaker 2: in this country.
0:16
Speaker 3: Free speech is under assault. In the United Kingdom, they
0:19
Speaker 3: are going after they are sentencing people to jail for
0:22
Speaker 3: their social media posts. They are threatening to take that
0:26
Speaker 3: enforcement to America to go after Americans. And I'll tell
0:29
Speaker 3: you what is really terrifying. As Kamala Harris and Tim
0:32
Speaker 3: Waltz are radicals and zealots when it comes to free speech,
0:36
Speaker 3: We're gonna break down just how extreme their record is.
0:40
Speaker 3: This is the most anti free speech ticket that has
0:43
Speaker 3: ever run. At the same time, Kamala Harris's campaign have
0:47
Speaker 3: decided on a new strategy. She is gonna run as
0:51
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Suddenly Kamala Harris wants to secure the border.
0:55
Speaker 3: Suddenly Kamala Harris loves her some fracking. And suddenly Kamala
1:01
Speaker 3: Harris has a brand new idea she cooked up just
1:04
Speaker 3: on her own, with no help from anybody else, no
1:07
Speaker 3: taxes on tips. We're going to talk about how they're
1:10
Speaker 3: trying to gaslight the American people, and we're going to
1:13
Speaker 3: contrast it with Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz's radical, extreme record.
1:19
Speaker 3: As I said, they are the most extreme ticket ever
1:22
Speaker 3: nominated by a major party.
1:24
Speaker 4: We're going to break that down right now.
1:25
Speaker 2: Things I never thought i'd hear you say that Kamala
1:27
Speaker 2: Harris is actually going to be Donald Trump.
1:29
Speaker 1: But it is weird when you watch it.
1:31
Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends
1:33
Speaker 2: over at Patriot Mobile. If you are a conservative and
1:36
Speaker 2: you're just sick and tired of giving your money to
1:38
Speaker 2: companies that fight against your values, well then you really
1:41
Speaker 2: need to take a look at your cell phone provider
1:44
Speaker 2: right now. I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile because
1:47
Speaker 2: they're on the frontline fighting for our First and our
1:49
Speaker 2: Second amendments, the sanctity of life, as well as our military,
1:53
Speaker 2: our first responder heroes and are wounded warriors. You can
1:57
Speaker 2: take a stand and stand with a conservative company that's
2:01
Speaker 2: fighting for our values. They make sure that every time
2:05
Speaker 2: you pay your bill, they take about five percent of
2:07
Speaker 2: that bill at no extra cost to you, and they
2:09
Speaker 2: give it back to the causes that.
2:12
Speaker 1: You want to support.
2:13
Speaker 2: Now, you're going to get the same nationwide coverage that
2:16
Speaker 2: you're getting right now because Patriot Mobile operates on all
2:19
Speaker 2: three major networks, mean the same towers you're using right now.
2:23
Speaker 2: Plus then when you pay that bill, you know you're
2:26
Speaker 2: sitting up for what you believe in. Switching has also
2:29
Speaker 2: never been easier. They have one hundred percent US based
2:32
Speaker 2: customer service team that will find the best plan for
2:35
Speaker 2: your needs and many times save you money. Plus you
2:37
Speaker 2: keep your same number you've got now, keep your same
2:40
Speaker 2: phone or upgrade to a new one now right now,
2:42
Speaker 2: go to Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict. That's Patriotmobile dot
2:46
Speaker 2: com slash verdict, or call them nine to seven to
2:49
Speaker 2: two Patriot and you're going to get a free month
2:53
Speaker 2: when you use the offer code verdict Patriotmobile dot com
2:56
Speaker 2: slash vertict. Are nine to seven to two Patriot and
2:59
Speaker 2: get a free month. We use the offer code verdict
3:02
Speaker 2: today center. This is very interesting, I also think shocking
3:08
Speaker 2: and concerning to see what is happening in the UK.
3:11
Speaker 2: They are, as you mentioned in the opening, not only
3:15
Speaker 2: like spying on people looking at what they're putting online,
3:19
Speaker 2: but then deciding, hey, we don't like that, we may
3:23
Speaker 2: charge you with crimes and put you in jail.
3:24
Speaker 1: And people are actually going to jail in the UK
3:27
Speaker 1: for this.
3:27
Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right.
3:29
Speaker 3: It is frightening in the United Kingdom now that they've
3:32
Speaker 3: decided that if you post something they don't like, they
3:36
Speaker 3: will arrest you and they'll put you in jail. I
3:39
Speaker 3: want you to listen to this British judge as he's
3:43
Speaker 3: sentencing this poor brit to twenty months in jail. Twenty months,
3:49
Speaker 3: that's almost two years for a Facebook post. He posted
3:53
Speaker 3: something on Facebook. The British government didn't like it. They
3:57
Speaker 3: sent him to jail.
3:58
Speaker 4: Have a listen.
4:00
Speaker 5: You have been committed for sentence having pleaded guilty to
4:04
Speaker 5: an offense of publishing written material which is threatening, abusive
4:11
Speaker 5: or insulting, intending thereby to stir up racial hatred. The
4:17
Speaker 5: context of your offending is that it arises out of
4:22
Speaker 5: the civil unrest and disorder in many parts of the
4:27
Speaker 5: United Kingdom. On the night of the second and third
4:31
Speaker 5: of August, the Britannia Hotel in Leeds was attacked by
4:36
Speaker 5: people who through missiles which damaged windows. The police were
4:43
Speaker 5: called and on the third of August the hotel was
4:46
Speaker 5: locked down for the protection of those who were living there.
4:50
Speaker 5: At the time, there were two hundred and ten occupants,
4:54
Speaker 5: many of whom were foreign refugees and asylum seekers. Similar
5:00
Speaker 5: attacks to the hotel were launched on the fourth of August.
5:05
Speaker 5: The police attended on each occasion and units were deployed
5:10
Speaker 5: to safeguard the hotel and to provide an increase in
5:14
Speaker 5: the police presence in the area. In between the two attacks,
5:21
Speaker 5: you took to social media in order to encourage others
5:26
Speaker 5: towards participation in the attacks upon the hotel. As is
5:31
Speaker 5: recognized on your behalf, this offense is so serious that
5:36
Speaker 5: an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable. Would you stand please.
5:43
Speaker 5: The sentence that I pass has been reduced by one
5:46
Speaker 5: third to reflect your guilty plea. The sentence is one
5:50
Speaker 5: of twenty months imprisonment. You will serve up to one
5:54
Speaker 5: half of your sentence in custody before you are released
5:58
Speaker 5: in light on license. If you fail to abide by
6:02
Speaker 5: the conditions of your license, you can be returned to
6:05
Speaker 5: prison to serve some or all of the remainder of
6:09
Speaker 5: the custodial term. The victim surcharge will apply and I
6:14
Speaker 5: will make a collection order.
6:17
Speaker 2: Two things are shocking there. One at the beginning he
6:19
Speaker 2: said what you said was categorizing. He gave a list,
6:22
Speaker 2: but then he used the word insulting. So you can
6:24
Speaker 2: now go to jail because you post something that is insulting.
6:27
Speaker 1: And then he.
6:28
Speaker 2: Also says, by the way, you better be glad that
6:31
Speaker 2: you pled guilty, which reduced your sentence by one third,
6:35
Speaker 2: which was still as you mentioned, twenty months, almost two years.
6:38
Speaker 1: This is in the UK, not in Russia.
6:41
Speaker 3: So and I will say so this is one of
6:42
Speaker 3: the videos. Every video we do, every pod we do
6:45
Speaker 3: is released on audio. About a third of the pods
6:48
Speaker 3: are also on video. This is one of the ones
6:51
Speaker 3: that's on video. So if you're not watching on YouTube,
6:53
Speaker 3: if you're watching on YouTube, you saw the guy. And
6:56
Speaker 3: I got to say, first of all, the image. If
6:58
Speaker 3: you're just listening to it, go watch it. He's wearing
7:02
Speaker 3: a red robe. He's got a white wig on.
7:05
Speaker 4: Yeah.
7:05
Speaker 3: I gotta say, by the way, you'd look damn fine
7:07
Speaker 3: in one of those. You can carry it off, you.
7:10
Speaker 4: Know, just a little bit menagement with you.
7:14
Speaker 2: There's gonna be some bet one day where I have
7:16
Speaker 2: to host verdict with a white wig off.
7:18
Speaker 3: And look he's sitting there. It is now an a fence.
7:21
Speaker 3: Apparently to to post something that that that that that
7:25
Speaker 3: could be insulting. So you know, apparently if if you
7:29
Speaker 3: play the uh, you know, play a song from Hamilton
7:33
Speaker 3: where King George is portrayed as a defeat looking wig
7:38
Speaker 3: wearing limey bastard, then apparently that's that that that could
7:44
Speaker 3: be justifiable if it's inciting of hate.
7:47
Speaker 2: Yes, and what if someone just decides they don't like
7:50
Speaker 2: a person online, they say, oh, they incited me to
7:52
Speaker 2: do this, and that's why I went out and did this.
7:54
Speaker 1: Therefore, go after that guy.
7:55
Speaker 3: Now, I'm curious, what do you think of the odds
7:59
Speaker 3: that the Brits will enforce that against say, a radical
8:04
Speaker 3: Islamic cleric who's calling for Jahad to quote you zero
8:09
Speaker 3: percentage zero no, no, no no no, you're not allowed.
8:12
Speaker 3: By the way, when people are pointing out the violence
8:15
Speaker 3: that is occurring in Britain, if you actually point out
8:18
Speaker 3: that you have because of massive immigration into Britain, you
8:22
Speaker 3: have violence, many from people who are engaged in acts
8:27
Speaker 3: of radical Islamic terrorism. This law is being enforced not
8:31
Speaker 3: to stop the violence, but to stop someone from pointing
8:35
Speaker 3: out who's committing it. It is literally you know, George
8:39
Speaker 3: Orwell was British, and I gotta say Orwell wouldn't be
8:43
Speaker 3: surprised he predicted this in nineteen eighty four, the judge saying,
8:49
Speaker 3: not saying, we will stop you from pointing something out.
8:55
Speaker 3: We will silence you and erase any narrative contrary to
9:00
Speaker 3: the regime.
9:02
Speaker 2: And by the way, this is a threat not just
9:03
Speaker 2: against people that are versuists. There is also a threat
9:06
Speaker 2: of going to jail if you're a foreigner who happens
9:09
Speaker 2: to offend them as well.
9:10
Speaker 3: Oh come on, I love the Brits too much that
9:12
Speaker 3: they would never threaten to violate the First Amendment of
9:16
Speaker 3: the Constitution with They never never.
9:19
Speaker 4: Okay, I want you to listen to this.
9:23
Speaker 3: Police chief from England explaining that he's coming after you.
9:27
Speaker 3: He's coming after Americans. He's going to cross the pond
9:30
Speaker 3: here he comes.
9:31
Speaker 4: Give a listen.
9:32
Speaker 6: We will throw the false horse at the law of people.
9:35
Speaker 6: And whether you're in this country committing crimes on the
9:38
Speaker 6: streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will
9:43
Speaker 6: come after.
9:43
Speaker 5: You about that.
9:44
Speaker 7: Because we have seen some high profile figures whipping up
9:48
Speaker 7: the hatred. He talked about it in there with the Offices,
9:50
Speaker 7: in fact about this being added to bioline commentary. I mean,
9:53
Speaker 7: I'm even thinking of the likes of Elon Musk getting involved.
9:57
Speaker 7: What are you considering when it comes to dealing with
9:59
Speaker 7: people they're whipping up this kind of behavior from behind
10:02
Speaker 7: a keyboard, maybe in a different country.
10:06
Speaker 6: Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from
10:09
Speaker 6: the law. You can be guilty offenses of incitement stirring
10:14
Speaker 6: up racial hatred. There are numerous terrorist offenses regarding the
10:19
Speaker 6: publishing of material. All of those offenses are in play
10:23
Speaker 6: if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets,
10:26
Speaker 6: and we will come after those individuals, just as we
10:28
Speaker 6: will physically confront on the streets the folks and the
10:31
Speaker 6: obs who are taking who are causing the promise for communities.
10:34
Speaker 2: I love the part at the end, and for people
10:36
Speaker 2: that aren't getting to watch this, there's a slide that
10:38
Speaker 2: was up at the end this report, and it's a
10:40
Speaker 2: warning that happened like on X warning people be careful
10:45
Speaker 2: what you post because if you post something we don't like,
10:48
Speaker 2: you may go to jail and then ex owner Elon
10:52
Speaker 2: Musk who who I just I love you on every
10:54
Speaker 2: time I see him just clap back like this made
10:57
Speaker 2: ways when he responded to footage of someone allegedly arrested
11:01
Speaker 2: for offensive online comments by asking.
11:04
Speaker 1: Is this Britain or this Soviet Union? Now?
11:07
Speaker 2: To be clear, in an article quote, the crackdown on
11:10
Speaker 2: social media includes a threat by the British government to
11:13
Speaker 2: extra dight American citizens from the US to be jailed
11:17
Speaker 2: in the UK for violating the rules.
11:19
Speaker 1: About political free speech.
11:21
Speaker 2: So this is my question, Center, if I tweet something
11:24
Speaker 2: in America about the UK, could they then come after
11:29
Speaker 2: me based on what they're now saying because that offended
11:32
Speaker 2: somebody in the UK.
11:33
Speaker 3: Well, to be clear, the Chinese communists claim the power
11:37
Speaker 3: to do that. Dictators across the world claim the power
11:40
Speaker 3: to do that. I am sanctioned in communist China right now.
11:45
Speaker 3: They have sanctioned me. Congratulations, I'm quite proud of that.
11:49
Speaker 1: What did you do?
11:49
Speaker 4: I don't even know.
11:50
Speaker 3: I've probably called the murdering, tyrannical communist bastards. But I'm
11:55
Speaker 3: sanctioned in China. I think I'm also sanctioned in Iran.
11:57
Speaker 3: I can't quite that's a good US. I can't quite
12:01
Speaker 3: keep up, and I think the Russians also. But it's
12:03
Speaker 3: hard to keep up with how many oppressive regimes have
12:07
Speaker 3: sanctioned me. But you know what, I never thought I'd
12:10
Speaker 3: put the Brits on that list. You know, I've joked
12:13
Speaker 3: Heidi and I Heidi, I like to say Heidi and
12:17
Speaker 3: I are a mixed marriage. She's a Francophile, I'm an
12:20
Speaker 3: Anglo Phile. I love the Brits. Yeah, and it breaks
12:24
Speaker 3: my heart. Look, the Magna Carta is on fire. The
12:27
Speaker 3: United Kingdom led the world in championing liberty. But let
12:33
Speaker 3: me point out that any britt that wants to extradite
12:37
Speaker 3: an American, and by the way, Elon Musk is an
12:39
Speaker 3: American citizen. You want to come after Elon, you better
12:42
Speaker 3: come through me and the rest of us first. You know,
12:45
Speaker 3: we did have a little disagreement with the UK. It was,
12:47
Speaker 3: it was minor. It was in a year called seventeen
12:50
Speaker 3: seventy six. They tried to tax our tea.
12:52
Speaker 2: By the way, I just want to go back in
12:54
Speaker 2: history make sure yeah we did, OKAYI did.
12:56
Speaker 4: They try to tax our tea.
12:58
Speaker 3: We threw that stuff of the Boss and Harbor we
13:01
Speaker 3: pulled out our muskets and we whipped their ass and
13:04
Speaker 3: became free. And the idea that they would claim, look,
13:11
Speaker 3: look it actually it's sad. It it great nations rise
13:15
Speaker 3: and fall.
13:17
Speaker 4: Uh.
13:17
Speaker 3: The United Kingdom has been incredibly important for liberty worldwide.
13:24
Speaker 3: And by the way, I could see some lefty picking
13:26
Speaker 3: this little exchange and saying, oh, but the Brits were
13:29
Speaker 3: slave traders. And it is true the United Kingdom there
13:32
Speaker 3: their biggest industry for a period of time was the
13:35
Speaker 3: slave trade until incredible heroes like William Wilberforce led the
13:40
Speaker 3: fight to abolish the slave trade in the United Kingdom.
13:44
Speaker 3: The UK has a great history of fighting for liberty.
13:48
Speaker 3: Is it perfect? No, But but whether it it is
13:53
Speaker 3: winning World War One and World War Two with America's
13:56
Speaker 3: mighty help. Look, there is a reason why in my
13:59
Speaker 3: own office in the Senate, I have three busts in
14:01
Speaker 3: my office. I have Ronald Reagan, I have Doctor Martin
14:04
Speaker 3: Luther King Junior, and I have Winston Churchill because Churchill
14:08
Speaker 3: was an extraordinary leader. And by the way, if I
14:11
Speaker 3: were to put a fourth bust up, I might put
14:13
Speaker 3: Margaret Thatcher up. I mean two of the British leaders
14:17
Speaker 3: have been among the most extraordinary leaders the world has
14:20
Speaker 3: ever known, and yet to see where the UK is now.
14:26
Speaker 3: It's heartbreaking that there's an arrogance and also a loss
14:33
Speaker 3: of fundamental identity, a loss of who we.
14:37
Speaker 1: Are, and that worries me.
14:39
Speaker 2: For this standpoint in America right now, I don't think
14:43
Speaker 2: we're that far off from this. I worry about what
14:47
Speaker 2: freedom speech in this country. I go back just over
14:49
Speaker 2: the last six seven, eight years. You know, you couldn't
14:52
Speaker 2: post an article about Hunter Biden's laptop, right that was
14:55
Speaker 2: something that like, oh no, no, that's not real. We
14:58
Speaker 2: had people in our that were supposed to trust in
15:00
Speaker 2: our in our CIA directors and others that came out
15:03
Speaker 2: and signed a letter knowing they were lying to the
15:05
Speaker 2: American people, and there was no accountability, for example, for
15:08
Speaker 2: that saying oh this is something that has the markings
15:11
Speaker 2: of Russians. I mean, you look at what's happening this
15:14
Speaker 2: country a free speech. I don't think we're that far off,
15:18
Speaker 2: especially if you look at Harris and what she says
15:20
Speaker 2: as well.
15:20
Speaker 4: Well.
15:21
Speaker 3: And I want to demonstrate that because look, the most
15:25
Speaker 3: important part of this podcast is underscoring you know a
15:28
Speaker 3: few years ago if I would have said, uh, the
15:31
Speaker 3: UK is going to lock people up for making social
15:33
Speaker 3: media posts, you probably would have dismissed that has come
15:36
Speaker 3: on that that that they still respect individual liberty too
15:40
Speaker 3: much to do that, and now they're doing it. We
15:45
Speaker 3: are very close to that in today's Democrat Party. In
15:48
Speaker 3: the last few years one of the greatest concerns I've had.
15:52
Speaker 4: Is the Democrat Party.
15:54
Speaker 3: There used to be principled, passionate defenders of free speech
15:59
Speaker 3: and the Democrat Party. They don't exist anymore. And today's
16:04
Speaker 3: Democrats have decided that free speech the First Amendment, is
16:08
Speaker 3: incompatible with their desire to control you and to silence
16:12
Speaker 3: speech they don't like. And today's Democrats being in bed
16:16
Speaker 3: with big tech, they view it as a machinery of
16:22
Speaker 3: censorship and oppression because power matters more to them than
16:26
Speaker 3: free speech. You know, there's a great article Jonathan Turley,
16:29
Speaker 3: the great law professor, wrote just a few days ago
16:33
Speaker 3: in The Hill and it's entitled, Harris Waltz administration would
16:37
Speaker 3: be a nightmare for free speech. And I want you
16:39
Speaker 3: to look at Kamala Harrison Tim Waltz's record on free speech,
16:43
Speaker 3: because this is the most extreme and radical record on
16:47
Speaker 3: free speech of any ticket that has ever run for
16:50
Speaker 3: president with a major party. So you look at Joe Biden.
16:53
Speaker 3: Joe Biden has made censorship a critical part of his legacy.
16:58
Speaker 3: He has accused social media companies of quote, killing people.
17:02
Speaker 3: That's Joe Biden for not censoring more so, that's his position.
17:07
Speaker 3: If you don't censor, you're killing people. The administration created
17:11
Speaker 3: an office like quote, the Disinformation Governance Board. Remember, Yeah,
17:16
Speaker 3: the disinformations are led by that wacka who loved musical
17:20
Speaker 3: theater and who had these these bizarre, smarmy singing things
17:25
Speaker 3: on Twitter, who wanted to silence anyone she disagreed with.
17:28
Speaker 3: Thankfully that disbanded because the pushback was was so significant.
17:33
Speaker 3: But I want you to listen to Tim Waltz on
17:38
Speaker 3: MSNBC what he says about free speech. Give a listen.
17:42
Speaker 8: Years ago, it was the little things telling people to
17:45
Speaker 8: vote the day after the election, and you know, we
17:47
Speaker 8: kind of brush them off. Now we know it's intimidation
17:49
Speaker 8: at the ballot box. It's it's undermining the idea that
17:53
Speaker 8: mail in ballots aren't legal. I think we need to
17:56
Speaker 8: push back on this. There's no guaranteed of free speech.
17:59
Speaker 8: On misinformed or hate speech, and especially around our democracy,
18:03
Speaker 8: tell the truth, where the voting places are, who can vote,
18:06
Speaker 8: who's able to be there, And I you know, watching
18:08
Speaker 8: some states continue to weaken the protections around the baut
18:12
Speaker 8: I think is what inspiring us to lean into this.
18:15
Speaker 9: Again.
18:16
Speaker 8: All we're asking is is to make it as easy
18:19
Speaker 8: and simple as possible to exercise their right to vote
18:22
Speaker 8: and participate in our democracy. And I'm in one hundred
18:25
Speaker 8: percent agreement with you. That makes it so that more
18:28
Speaker 8: people are there, you get more opinions brought in, and
18:30
Speaker 8: I think it tempers that extremes that we get because again,
18:35
Speaker 8: I can't imagine someone going and standing in line for
18:39
Speaker 8: eight hours to try and vote and then being told that,
18:43
Speaker 8: you know, maybe the votes didn't count or maybe something Wronger,
18:45
Speaker 8: you have these candidates who lose and are on these
18:50
Speaker 8: ridiculous court cases that they keep bringing up and losing on.
18:53
Speaker 8: Here in Minnesota, we're going to bring faith back into
18:56
Speaker 8: that system. It's already been here. We're very proud that
18:58
Speaker 8: we're near the top in voter turnout, but there's more
19:01
Speaker 8: that we can do.
19:03
Speaker 3: So I want you to hear those words, because that
19:06
Speaker 3: is radical. It is idiotic and it is wrong. So
19:11
Speaker 3: here's a quote that he just said. Quote, there's no
19:14
Speaker 3: guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and
19:17
Speaker 3: especially around our democracy. Now, that is utter garbage. There
19:21
Speaker 3: is a guarantee of free speech. It's called the First
19:23
Speaker 3: Amendment to the Constitution. It is in the Bill of Rights.
19:27
Speaker 3: And listen to what he said. There's no guarantee on misinformation,
19:31
Speaker 3: by the way, and he said, look at these candidates
19:34
Speaker 3: who filed lawsuits challenging elections. So apparently he wants to
19:37
Speaker 3: go after you and prosecute you if you file a
19:40
Speaker 3: lawsuit challenging an election. And he says, for example, misinformation,
19:45
Speaker 3: He says, we just want to make sure everyone has
19:48
Speaker 3: the right to vote. Well, you know what, mister Waltz,
19:51
Speaker 3: I charge that as misinformation because your party tried to
19:55
Speaker 3: throw Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado, Illinois, and Maine.
20:00
Speaker 3: You don't just want to make sure everyone has the
20:02
Speaker 3: right to vote when you're trying to stop them from
20:05
Speaker 3: voting for your opponent. And understand, the only reason that
20:09
Speaker 3: didn't succeed is because the Supreme Court unanimously rejected your
20:14
Speaker 3: party's assault on democracy. And when he says I can't
20:18
Speaker 3: imagine waiting eight hours in line to vote and then
20:22
Speaker 3: being told that your vote somehow matters less. Okay, are
20:26
Speaker 3: you planning to prosecute Hillary Clinton when she said that
20:29
Speaker 3: the election where Donald Trump beater was rigged? It is
20:32
Speaker 3: exactly like the Brits. By the way, it is purely
20:36
Speaker 3: one sided. You don't see Tim walt saying We're going
20:40
Speaker 3: to go after some radical Islamic cleric who is promising
20:44
Speaker 3: that you will have seventy two virgins if you just
20:47
Speaker 3: go murder innocent people, if you go murder Jews, that
20:50
Speaker 3: that will be He would not apply it there. What
20:53
Speaker 3: he means is, if you dare say something contrary to
20:59
Speaker 3: the regime, you have no right to free speech. That
21:03
Speaker 3: is dangerous and it's radical and it's wrong.
21:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's something that people need to understand moving
21:08
Speaker 2: forward in this election. This is who they are. Believe
21:12
Speaker 2: them when they tell you they are radical. I've said
21:14
Speaker 2: that over and over again. If you just look and
21:17
Speaker 2: listen to what they're saying, you can see what their
21:21
Speaker 2: plan is.
21:21
Speaker 3: And the way, by the way, Waltz is not alone.
21:24
Speaker 3: Let me give you an example. So Stacey Plaskett, who
21:27
Speaker 3: is a Democrat in Congress representing the Virgin Island. She declared, quote,
21:32
Speaker 3: I hope that all members recognize that there is speech
21:35
Speaker 3: that is not constitutionally perspective protected, referencing hate speech in particular,
21:39
Speaker 3: Ben Cardon, Democrat, senator from Maryland, said quote, if you
21:45
Speaker 3: espouse hate, you're not protected under the First Amendment. Now,
21:52
Speaker 3: if he wrote that, he's a lawyer, if he wrote
21:54
Speaker 3: that as a first year law student in constitutional law,
21:57
Speaker 3: he would flunk. That's not even a D answer. That
22:00
Speaker 3: it's an f answer. By the way, Howard Dean, remember
22:02
Speaker 3: former governor Vermont, Democrat, ran for president. Here's what he said. Quote,
22:07
Speaker 3: hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment. By
22:11
Speaker 3: the way, the Supreme Court, it's a famous case, the
22:13
Speaker 3: Skokie case, where they upheld the right of Nazis to
22:16
Speaker 3: march in Skokie, Illinois, because the First Amendment protects the
22:21
Speaker 3: right to speak, even if what you're saying is hateful.
22:23
Speaker 3: And to be clear, I despise Nazis. They are bigoted,
22:27
Speaker 3: evil idiots. The First Amendment protects the right of bigoted,
22:32
Speaker 3: evil idiots to speak their idiocy. And the response, by
22:35
Speaker 3: the way, is not for government to censor them. Not
22:38
Speaker 3: for government to lock them up for twenty months, as
22:40
Speaker 3: they're doing in the United Kingdom. The response is to
22:42
Speaker 3: stand up and say you're Nazis, you're morons. It was
22:46
Speaker 3: a great moment, and raiders are the lost dark when
22:48
Speaker 3: your faces melted because you are evil and foolish. The answer,
22:53
Speaker 3: as John Stuart Mill said, to bad speech, is more speech.
22:56
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you don't want to listen
22:59
Speaker 3: to me on it, listen to the Supreme Court of
23:01
Speaker 3: the United States. Because the position of Tim Waltz, the
23:05
Speaker 3: position of all those democrats I quoted, has been directly refuted.
23:09
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give one example. In the twenty sixteen case
23:12
Speaker 3: of Matal versus tam Here's what the Supreme Court wrote.
23:16
Speaker 3: Quote this position, rather, this position that hate speech is
23:21
Speaker 3: not protected by the First Amendment. Quote strikes at the
23:26
Speaker 3: heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the
23:32
Speaker 3: basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any
23:40
Speaker 3: other similar ground is hateful. But the proudest boast of
23:46
Speaker 3: our free speech juris prudence is that we protect the
23:50
Speaker 3: freedom to express the thought that we hate. I want
23:57
Speaker 3: you to hear that phrase again. The proudest boast of
24:02
Speaker 3: our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom
24:07
Speaker 3: to express the thought that we hate. By the way,
24:12
Speaker 3: Mattal versus TAM was a decision that was unanimous. Nobody
24:15
Speaker 3: descended from the judgment. And yet where are the Democrats. Well,
24:21
Speaker 3: let's look at Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris on her disasterbly
24:27
Speaker 3: failed twenty twenty presidential campaign. Here's what she said. She
24:31
Speaker 3: ran on censorship and she pledged quote that her administration
24:34
Speaker 3: will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating
24:39
Speaker 3: their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight
24:43
Speaker 3: against this threat to our democracy. In twenty nineteen, Kamala
24:47
Speaker 3: Harris said directly to Mark Zuckerberg, the lead owner of Facebook, quote,
24:54
Speaker 3: this is not a matter of free speech. This is
24:56
Speaker 3: a matter of holding corporate America and these big tech
24:59
Speaker 3: companies respond and accountable for what they are facilitating. Understand,
25:05
Speaker 3: Kamala Harrison, Tim Waltz. If they win, they intend to
25:09
Speaker 3: go after your free speech. They intend to pressure big
25:13
Speaker 3: tech to censor even more. And what they define as
25:17
Speaker 3: hate is anything contrary to their agenda. So, for example,
25:23
Speaker 3: if you point out, as say hypothetically someone may have
25:28
Speaker 3: in Milwaukee at a speech at the Republican National Convention
25:32
Speaker 3: to the world that every damn day Americans are being murdered,
25:40
Speaker 3: women are being raped, children are being brutalized by illegal aliens.
25:44
Speaker 3: That Kamala Harris is releasing in the world of Kamala
25:48
Speaker 3: Harris and Tim Waltz, that might be deemed misinformation. Why
25:52
Speaker 3: because it's hateful and what do they mean by hateful?
25:54
Speaker 3: It's inconvenient for their political agenda, so they want to
25:58
Speaker 3: censor it. And maybe not far from the Brits, they
26:01
Speaker 3: want to put you in jail for saying it.
26:03
Speaker 2: You go back and you think about one thing here.
26:05
Speaker 2: The Democrats have been attacking the Supreme Court recently. They
26:08
Speaker 2: don't like the Supreme Court very much, so just pack
26:10
Speaker 2: it undo.
26:11
Speaker 1: That as well.
26:12
Speaker 2: It's very interesting how they're playing this out here. It's
26:15
Speaker 2: like anything we don't like we want to get rid
26:17
Speaker 2: of or redo, we want to change it. They're coming
26:20
Speaker 2: after the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, is Supreme Court.
26:23
Speaker 2: The list goes on and on from this team.
26:26
Speaker 3: And by the way, you know what Benjamin Franklin said
26:28
Speaker 3: about this. I'm want to give you a quote from
26:29
Speaker 3: Ben Franklin quote in those wretched countries where a man
26:34
Speaker 3: cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call
26:39
Speaker 3: anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a
26:43
Speaker 3: nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech without
26:50
Speaker 3: freedom of thought. There can be no such thing as wisdom,
26:55
Speaker 3: and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech,
27:00
Speaker 3: which is the right of every man. That statement, Ben Franklin.
27:06
Speaker 3: There's a reason Ben Franklin's one hundred dollar bill. There's
27:12
Speaker 3: a reason Ben Franklin sat at the Constitutional Convention the
27:19
Speaker 3: famed Exchange when Franklin walked out of the Constitutional Convention
27:23
Speaker 3: after they drafted the Constitution, and a passerby asked in
27:26
Speaker 3: mister Franklin, what have you given us? And he said,
27:32
Speaker 3: a republic if you can keep it. I will say,
27:37
Speaker 3: with today's radical democrats who have decided free speech is
27:41
Speaker 3: inconvenient to their thirst for power, they're doing everything they
27:46
Speaker 3: can to give up our republic.
27:47
Speaker 1: Amen to that.
27:48
Speaker 2: I want to tell you about my friends ever blackout coffee.
27:51

Speaker 2: of coffee. I get on the radio every morning at

Speaker 2: that cup of coffee. Not only are they an awesome company,
28:14
Speaker 2: they're a company that supports conservative values. Now, there's a
28:17
Speaker 2: lot of woke liberal coffee comings out there. When I
28:20

Speaker 2: in your head instantly. That's another reason why I want

29:24
Speaker 2: back after we have the warning of what just happened
29:28
Speaker 2: in the UK, to Harris and Wallace Wells as a ticket. Now, yeah,
29:33
Speaker 2: they are a radical ticket that the Democratic Party has
29:38
Speaker 2: never seen before. I think that's saying something. We've had
29:41
Speaker 2: pretty extremist candidates before they've run. We've never seen a
29:44
Speaker 2: dynamic duo like this where it's almost like they try
29:48
Speaker 2: to one up each other on how extreme they can go.
29:50
Speaker 4: Well, Ben, how could that be true.
29:53
Speaker 3: I've seen in the news that Kamala Harris was not
29:56
Speaker 3: the borders are that you never had anything to do
29:58
Speaker 3: with the border. I've seen in the news how you
30:01
Speaker 3: know fracking, Gosh, golly, she just loves her some fracking.
30:06
Speaker 3: I've seen in the news now that she has proposals
30:10
Speaker 3: straight from from from Donald Trump's tax plan. I mean,
30:15
Speaker 3: it is amazing how Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz are
30:19
Speaker 3: trying to whitewash their entire record. You go to Kamala
30:23
Speaker 3: Harrison Tim Waltz's website, which I don't advise, but there
30:28
Speaker 3: are no policy positions on it.
30:29
Speaker 1: She's gonna have some though.
30:30
Speaker 3: I've never seen a presidential campaign website without policy positions.
30:36
Speaker 3: It really is remarkable. And and and and.
30:39
Speaker 1: Doing no interviews as well, that's weird.
30:42
Speaker 3: And and she's trying to run as the candidate of
30:45
Speaker 3: change as the incumbent.
30:47
Speaker 2: In fact, there's a great montage that went viral this
30:51
Speaker 2: week online and I think it goes exactly the point
30:54
Speaker 2: you were making, which is they're constantly changing who they
30:58
Speaker 2: are to try to fit what they think will get elected. Now,
31:00
Speaker 2: this is brilliant.
31:01
Speaker 1: Take a look.
31:03
Speaker 4: Kamala Harris pretends she wants to fix the broken border,
31:06
Speaker 4: but she has attacked and vilified everyone responsible for enforcing it.
31:10
Speaker 9: Clan was what we would call today a domestic terrorist group.
31:14
Speaker 10: Are you aware of the perception of many about how
31:20
Speaker 10: the power and the discretion at ice is being used
31:24
Speaker 10: to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels.
31:28
Speaker 9: I do not see any parallels between.
31:30
Speaker 1: I'm talking about perceptions and eight. Are you aware that
31:32
Speaker 1: there's a perception ICE.
31:33
Speaker 9: In the same category as the KKKA.
31:35
Speaker 11: We've got to critically re examine ICE and its role
31:39
Speaker 11: and the way that it is being administered and the
31:41
Speaker 11: work it is doing, and we need to probably think
31:43
Speaker 11: about starting from scratch.
31:45
Speaker 5: I was the chief of the barbatroal.
31:46
Speaker 4: I commanded twenty one thousand people.
31:49
Speaker 7: I've never had one conversation with the president or the
31:52
Speaker 7: vice president for that matter.
31:54
Speaker 1: That's a problem.
31:55
Speaker 12: Jensaki, Vice President Kamala Harris others have seized on this
31:58
Speaker 12: photo of a border patrol agent on a horse in
32:02
Speaker 12: del Rear over the weekend. They say visuals were horrific.
32:04
Speaker 11: In their words, I was outraged by it, and it's
32:08
Speaker 11: to be consequence and accountability. It also evolved images of
32:12
Speaker 11: some of the worst moments of our history where that
32:16
Speaker 11: kind of behavior has been used against the indigenous people
32:21
Speaker 11: of our country, has been used against African Americans during
32:25
Speaker 11: times of slavery at and.
32:26
Speaker 13: That is just blatantly false. First off, these agents don't
32:30
Speaker 13: have whips. We have a couple of them behind us,
32:32
Speaker 13: right now. Look, we'll show it to you. What was
32:33
Speaker 13: seen in the photos is they have what are called
32:36
Speaker 13: split range.
32:37
Speaker 11: The border patrol agents were attacked by the Vice President
32:40
Speaker 11: of the United States and now the Department of Homeland Security.
32:42
Speaker 12: But he had still photos that of course the media
32:45
Speaker 12: blew up to mean something that it wasn't.
32:48
Speaker 13: But the agents are very frustrated by the narrative out there.
32:51
Speaker 12: They threw border patrol members under the bus that you
32:54
Speaker 12: are that border patrol member who's being compared by the
32:58
Speaker 12: Vice president to a slave owner.
33:02
Speaker 11: It was clear from the beginning that they were not
33:04
Speaker 11: whipping any migrants. Do you plan to visit the.
33:07
Speaker 10: Border not today.
33:12
Speaker 2: This is a woman, to be clear, that said we
33:14
Speaker 2: needed to just abolish ice and start all over. Now
33:17
Speaker 2: she's saying, oh, I'm gonna be tough on the border
33:20
Speaker 2: because we got to secure the border. There's the same
33:22
Speaker 2: woman that said that the border wall was racist. But
33:25
Speaker 2: now the media is like, oh, hey, we got to
33:27
Speaker 2: change the narrative here because people are concerned about the border.
33:29
Speaker 1: We know it's a presidential election, your issue, and we're.
33:32
Speaker 2: Gonna act like somehow, now she's gonna get tough on
33:35
Speaker 2: the border. It's absurd, but they're helping her do this
33:38
Speaker 2: lie perpetrate this line on the American people.
33:42
Speaker 3: And listen, as you know, I spend a lot of
33:45
Speaker 3: time at our southern border. I know a lot of
33:47
Speaker 3: Border patrol agents very very well. This demonization, she said
33:52
Speaker 3: at a hearing, she compared ICE agents to.
33:56
Speaker 4: The ku Klux Klan.
33:59
Speaker 3: That's grotesque. And and and she compared border patrol agents
34:05
Speaker 3: two slave owners whipping African Americans. And by the way,
34:09
Speaker 3: that photograph that the press went crazy with, and then
34:13
Speaker 3: she eagerly leapt on that photographs, that characterization was wrong,
34:18
Speaker 3: that border patrol agent was simply riding his horse. Those
34:21
Speaker 3: were the reins, And it was wrongfully characterized that that
34:25
Speaker 3: that anybody was being whipped. And I've talked to border
34:28
Speaker 3: patrol agents who were deeply offended at the Vice President
34:34
Speaker 3: at the administration demonizing the brave men and women who
34:39
Speaker 3: risk their lives to keep us safe. She is a
34:43
Speaker 3: radical who has consistently argued for abolishing ICE. By the way,
34:48
Speaker 3: she's also supported defunding and abolishing the police when it
34:51
Speaker 3: comes to law enforcement. Any time, Kamala Harris, you.
34:54
Speaker 2: Get people out of jail, by the way, in Minnesota
34:57
Speaker 2: who were involved in the riots while they burning down
35:00
Speaker 2: the city.
35:01
Speaker 3: What's why she and she and Tim Waltz are such
35:03
Speaker 3: a good pair because Tim Waltz was governor of Minnesota
35:05
Speaker 3: when Minneapolis burned, when Antifa and Black Lives Matter radicals
35:09
Speaker 3: were burning the city where fire bombing police cars were
35:12
Speaker 3: looting stores, we're attacking police officers were attacking citizens. He
35:16
Speaker 3: did nothing. He did not send in the National Guard.
35:18
Speaker 3: He held it back. And what did she do? As
35:21
Speaker 3: you said, she raised money to bail the violent rioters
35:24
Speaker 3: out of jail. Consistently, given the choice between law enforcement
35:29
Speaker 3: and criminals, Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz choose the criminals.
35:33
Speaker 3: Given a choice between border patrol and ice and illegal immigrants,
35:37
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz, they choose the illegal immigrants.
35:41
Speaker 3: That's their record, and they're magically trying to make that
35:43
Speaker 3: go away.
35:44
Speaker 2: You and I were at the Republican convention. You and
35:46
Speaker 2: I both had the conversation the last night that we met.
35:49
Speaker 2: We were worried that we came out of there too
35:52
Speaker 2: confident because it was such a great convention. Everything started
35:56
Speaker 2: all over with Kamala Harris. Now be no one's voted for,
35:59
Speaker 2: but apparently that doesn't matter. She's the nominee and we're.
36:04
Speaker 3: But Tim Waltz said, all they want is democracy.
36:06
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true.
36:06
Speaker 3: But does democracy mean people actually have to vote for
36:09
Speaker 3: the candidate or what about the millions of Democrats have
36:11
Speaker 3: voted for Joe Biden.
36:13
Speaker 4: Do they not have a right to democracy?
36:15
Speaker 1: Yeah? Fair point. But you look at this and you
36:17
Speaker 1: see where we are now.
36:19
Speaker 2: I'm very concerned about this election, and I think it's
36:21
Speaker 2: a complete reset. And I'm also very concerned with the
36:25
Speaker 2: kind contribution coming from the media. What I mean by
36:28
Speaker 2: that perfect example of this is Donald Trump seized on
36:33
Speaker 2: something that was very authentic and organic. He was out
36:37
Speaker 2: in Vegas, he was having a conversation with people in
36:40
Speaker 2: the service industry.
36:42
Speaker 1: He had an idea apparently wrote it on a napkin.
36:44
Speaker 2: We shouldn't tax tips. Help people survive, help people make
36:50
Speaker 2: a living. And he said it at a rally and
36:53
Speaker 2: it just work and it stuck and people loved it
36:56
Speaker 2: because he was a guy looking out for the little guy.
36:58
Speaker 2: He was advocating for these hard working people that rely
37:01
Speaker 2: on tips as part of their income, and it obviously
37:06
Speaker 2: played well with many people in this country. Fast forward
37:09
Speaker 2: a few days ago, kam Way Harris says the same thing.
37:12
Speaker 3: Well, and let me give a little more narrative on that.
37:15
Speaker 3: So Trump announced it at the Vegas rally. And and
37:18
Speaker 3: I think the next week he was in DC and
37:21
Speaker 3: I had lunch with him. He had lunch with all
37:22
Speaker 3: the Republican senators. He was actually telling us the backstory
37:25
Speaker 3: of it, and and and he said, well, you know,
37:27
Speaker 3: this was not an idea that came from a bunch
37:30
Speaker 3: of policy experts that had a bunch of white papers.
37:33
Speaker 4: He said he.
37:34
Speaker 3: Was in Vegas right before the rally, and he said
37:36
Speaker 3: he was having I think lunch or dinner.
37:37
Speaker 4: I think it was lunch.
37:39
Speaker 3: And he said there was a waitress who came up
37:41
Speaker 3: who complained about the really oppressive enforcement from Joe Biden
37:48
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris of their efforts to tax tips and how
37:51
Speaker 3: it was really burdened some of the record keeping and
37:53
Speaker 3: it was really hard. And and Trump says, at dinner,
37:56
Speaker 3: pulled out a piece of paper and just wrote down
37:58
Speaker 3: no taxes on tips. And then he said he went
38:01
Speaker 3: to the rally and he just said it, and he said, and.
38:03
Speaker 4: They went wild, they went wild.
38:07
Speaker 3: I got to say there are moments I think of
38:11
Speaker 3: political genius, and I think that was one of them.
38:15
Speaker 3: So the next week I introduced legislation in the Senate
38:20
Speaker 3: to exempt tips from taxes because I heard that idea
38:24
Speaker 3: and it's exactly right. And the reason I introduced legislation.
38:28
Speaker 3: There are a lot of reasons, but one right at
38:29
Speaker 3: the heart is for over a decade, for as long
38:32
Speaker 3: as I've been in the Senate, I have been advocating
38:34
Speaker 3: that the Republican Party, we should be a blue collar party.
38:38
Speaker 3: We should be the party of waiters and waitresses. We
38:40
Speaker 3: should be the party of bartenders. We should be the
38:43
Speaker 3: party of hairdressers and nail salon workers and taxi cab
38:47
Speaker 3: drivers and and and everyone who has callouses on their
38:52
Speaker 3: hands because they're working hard, and it is a policy.
38:56
Speaker 3: The contrast is night and day. That's who we should
38:59
Speaker 3: be fighting for. And you know it's striking. I introduced
39:01
Speaker 3: that legislation. It's got a number of co sponsors. You
39:04
Speaker 3: know who also joined it. Here's that both Democrat senators
39:09
Speaker 3: from Nevada, really Jackie Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, both
39:14
Speaker 3: joined my legislation. Because about twenty five percent of the
39:18
Speaker 3: workers in Nevada are tipped workers. And I got to
39:22
Speaker 3: say my reaction when I heard him make that proposal,
39:25
Speaker 3: I said, Donald Trump will carry Nevada on that policy issue.
39:29
Speaker 3: By the way, the culinary union has come out emphatically
39:33
Speaker 3: in support of Trump's proposal, emphatically in support of my
39:36
Speaker 3: legislation exempting tips from taxes. And so this week here's
39:43
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. I want you to give a listen, first
39:45
Speaker 3: to Trump in Nevada announcing the policy proposal, and then
39:50
Speaker 3: Kamala just shamelessly copying him.
39:52
Speaker 8: Give a listen, because when I get to office, we
39:55
Speaker 8: are going to not charge taxes on tips people make tips.
40:04
Speaker 11: Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
40:10
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just straight up stealing. But I do
40:12
Speaker 1: think so.
40:13
Speaker 4: June ninth is when Trump said it.
40:14
Speaker 3: August tenth is when she said it, and she didn't
40:17
Speaker 3: have the dignity to say, you know, I actually would
40:20
Speaker 3: have respected it more as she says, Look, there are
40:24
Speaker 3: lots of areas where I disagree with Donald Trump. I'm
40:27
Speaker 3: a left wing Democrat kook.
40:29
Speaker 4: He's not.
40:31
Speaker 3: However, he had an idea that's a really good one,
40:33
Speaker 3: and I'm here to tell you right now would this,
40:36
Speaker 3: I would do the same that I could respect. But
40:38
Speaker 3: she doesn't acknowledge it. And the irony is she also
40:43
Speaker 3: doesn't acknowledge what prompted it, which is that her administration,
40:49
Speaker 3: the Biden Harris administration, she was the tie breaking vote
40:54
Speaker 3: on the legislation that provided millions for the IRS to
41:00
Speaker 3: go after waiters and waitresses and everyone's who's making tips
41:05
Speaker 3: and to enforce it vigorously and to hammer on them.
41:11
Speaker 3: And yet she doesn't acknowledge any of that. This is gaslighting,
41:14
Speaker 3: one on one.
41:14
Speaker 2: This is why, by the way, I love doing the show,
41:16
Speaker 2: and I will say to everybody that right now listening
41:19
Speaker 2: or watching, this is when I ask you share it.
41:21
Speaker 1: And here's why.
41:22
Speaker 2: Know when the media is going to tell you this
41:24
Speaker 2: in February, because what you're just said.
41:26
Speaker 1: Is not something ten years ago. And then she had
41:28
Speaker 1: a change of heart.
41:29
Speaker 2: Okay, it's not like it was a polic ten years ago,
41:31
Speaker 2: and there was some negative effects came out of it
41:32
Speaker 2: that you didn't realize, and then you're like, hey, look
41:34
Speaker 2: that was a long time ago, decade ago.
41:36
Speaker 1: In February of twenty twenty three.
41:40
Speaker 2: It came to light that Biden's IRS planned to crack
41:44
Speaker 2: down on the service industries reporting on tips. The Service
41:48
Speaker 2: Industry Tip Compliance Agreement Program was to be a voluntary
41:53
Speaker 2: tip reporting system in which the IRS and the service
41:57
Speaker 2: industry companies cooperated, which is where they would crackdown on
42:01
Speaker 2: the actual workers. The program was meant to quote improve
42:05
Speaker 2: tip reporting compliance, reduce administrative burdens, and provide more transparency
42:11
Speaker 2: and certainty to tax payers, again going after the little
42:15
Speaker 2: guy here. And the program feature included quote monitoring of
42:21
Speaker 2: employer compliance based on actual annual tip revenue, So big
42:26
Speaker 2: brother watching you and charge tip data from an employer's
42:30
Speaker 2: point of sales system, so now the computer's tracking you.
42:34
Speaker 2: And allowance for adjustments in tipping practices from year to
42:37
Speaker 2: year to protect the employer from getting in trouble by
42:41
Speaker 2: turning in in essence their employees. And who did this,
42:44
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. And now she's out there
42:48
Speaker 2: saying I want you to not have to pay taxes
42:50
Speaker 2: on your tips, when again, twenty twenty three February wasn't
42:55
Speaker 2: that long ago?
42:56
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, this is a standard practice and pattern
42:59
Speaker 3: of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris siding with the big guy
43:03
Speaker 3: siding with giant corporations, whether it's big tech or giant
43:05
Speaker 3: corporations against the little guy. You know, there was an
43:10
Speaker 3: interesting story this same lunch where Trump was telling us
43:12
Speaker 3: the backstory of this proposal.
43:16
Speaker 4: The day before the.
43:17
Speaker 3: Lunch, Trump and Lindsey Graham had played golf, and Lindsey
43:21
Speaker 3: told everyone, he said, look, the two of us were
43:23
Speaker 3: playing golf, and they're both big golfers, and you know, look,
43:26
Speaker 3: your son is one of the best golfers in the world.
43:28
Speaker 3: But Lindsey described how midway through the golf game, he said,
43:33
Speaker 3: their two caddies came up and hugged Donald Trump because
43:38
Speaker 3: he had just made the proposal of no taxes on tips.
43:41
Speaker 3: And listen, golf caddies like barbers, like bartenders. There there
43:45
Speaker 3: were all sorts of professions where a big chunk of
43:49
Speaker 3: their revenue and many of them were just barely making
43:51
Speaker 3: ends meet. They're just starting to climb the economic ladder,
43:54
Speaker 3: and they literally came and hugged him for that proposal.
43:58
Speaker 3: And so Kamala Harris is now trying to pretend, Look,
44:01
Speaker 3: I'm glad she's supporting my legislation. I got to say,
44:04
Speaker 3: this is a first. I do not believe Kamala Harris
44:07
Speaker 3: as ever before publicly endorsed legislation that I filed and
44:12
Speaker 3: am the lead author of. Now, she didn't mention it
44:14
Speaker 3: was my legislation. She didn't mention it was Trump's idea.
44:17
Speaker 3: And to be clear, I took the idea from Trump.
44:19
Speaker 3: It was his idea and ran with it. I just
44:21
Speaker 3: had the sense of saying, that's a damn good idea,
44:23
Speaker 3: let's do it. And so I went and put pen
44:25
Speaker 3: to paper to actually draft it to make it happen.
44:29
Speaker 3: But but but I readily credit it was Trump's idea.
44:33
Speaker 3: Kamala could not be bothered to acknowledge anything other than
44:37
Speaker 3: pretending this has always been her view.
44:39
Speaker 2: Mom and Agad, I told you about Blackout Coffee, and well,

46:33
Speaker 2: something else that's been happening over the last couple weeks,
46:37
Speaker 2: and that is the media is trying to make Harrison
46:40
Speaker 2: a running mate look like they're moderates, like they're not extremists,
46:43
Speaker 2: they're not radicals, even though their entire history says that's
46:47
Speaker 2: exactly what they are.
46:48
Speaker 3: Look I want you to listen to two clips that
46:50
Speaker 3: really sums up just how extreme they are. The first
46:55
Speaker 3: is from Tim Waltz and he's talking about his fellow
46:58
Speaker 3: Minnesota ilhan Omar. To be clear, illhan Omar is one
47:02
Speaker 3: of the founding members of the Squad. She is a radical,
47:05
Speaker 3: anti Semiti, she hates Israel. She is extreme. Listen to
47:10
Speaker 3: what Tim Waltz thinks about.
47:12
Speaker 8: Her something I'll never get tired of saying. I think
47:16
Speaker 8: all of you, Congresswoman Omar, wonderful.
47:20
Speaker 6: And that's up.
47:24
Speaker 8: When I'm having a tough day or I'm out on
47:26
Speaker 8: about mile five of my run and I'm feeling kind
47:28
Speaker 8: of down and the world's pressing on me, I think
47:30
Speaker 8: Ilhan Omar is a congresswoman and it just brightens you up.
47:33
Speaker 10: So thank you.
47:35
Speaker 2: I just wonder like mile three is he's sitting there
47:37
Speaker 2: thinking about that's the same congressman that said that the
47:40
Speaker 2: terrorists that attacked us on nine eleven were some people
47:42
Speaker 2: that did some things.
47:45
Speaker 3: Look, Ilhan Omar is a congresswoman, and that's something that
47:50
Speaker 3: just brightens you up.
47:51
Speaker 4: That's what he said.
47:53
Speaker 3: This is everyone will acknowledge one of the most radical
47:56
Speaker 3: and extreme is zealous, and that brightens his day. That
48:03
Speaker 3: tells you who he is. Now, if you think that's bad,
48:09
Speaker 3: I got something worse.
48:11
Speaker 4: Do you like Christmas?
48:12
Speaker 1: Love Christmas?
48:13
Speaker 3: Okay, Well you're not Kamala Harris. Give a listen to Kamala.
48:17
Speaker 11: When we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry Christmas
48:21
Speaker 11: and wish each other merry Christmas, these children are not
48:24
Speaker 11: going to have a merry Christmas. How dare we speak
48:29
Speaker 11: Merry Christmas? How dare we.
48:32
Speaker 2: I haven't seen somebody get that crazy about hating Christmas
48:35
Speaker 2: in a long time.
48:36
Speaker 3: And understand what she's saying. They're in context. She's talking
48:39
Speaker 3: about illegal immigrants, and she's saying illegal immigrants are having
48:42
Speaker 3: a lousy time. So how dare we say Merry Christmas? Immigrants?
48:49
Speaker 4: I mean it is.
48:51
Speaker 3: This is a woman whose entire career has been siding
48:56
Speaker 3: with criminals and with illegal immigrants, and in her mind,
49:03
Speaker 3: even saying Merry Christmas is unacceptable as long as there
49:09
Speaker 3: is one illegal immigrant.
49:10
Speaker 4: Who was not backs basking in luxury.
49:16
Speaker 3: All right, final point before we wrap up, I'm gonna
49:20
Speaker 3: make a prediction. So eleven months ago, on Verdict, I
49:27
Speaker 3: predicted that the Democrats would throw Joe Biden off the ticket.
49:30
Speaker 4: You were you were correct.
49:31
Speaker 1: Let's have that moment.
49:34
Speaker 4: At the time many in the media.
49:36
Speaker 3: I do too. It wasn't what I wanted to have happened.
49:40
Speaker 3: It was a prediction. And by the way, over the
49:43
Speaker 3: eleven months, I gave a a scaling set of odds
49:47
Speaker 3: that increased as we got closer and closer and closer.
49:50
Speaker 3: The night of the debate between Trump and Biden. You
49:54
Speaker 3: and I recorded a podcast immediately after the debate. I
49:57
Speaker 3: said that night, the Democrats, we'll push Joe Biden off.
50:02
Speaker 3: I put the odds at one hundred percent at the time,
50:04
Speaker 3: and they did, and they did. So I'm going to
50:08
Speaker 3: make another prediction, and it's not one that I want
50:10
Speaker 3: to have happen. I'm gonna put the odds at forty
50:15
Speaker 3: percent that Joe Biden resigns between now an election.
50:19
Speaker 2: Day, really forty percent, so that they can see her
50:23
Speaker 2: as president's or it'll be easier to get her elected.
50:25
Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
50:26
Speaker 3: So that Kamala Harris is the incumbent president, she is
50:29
Speaker 3: running for a reelection. I still think it is sixty forty.
50:33
Speaker 3: They don't that Biden's high. That that Biden they pushed
50:37
Speaker 3: him out, They pushed him out. I think he's pretty ticked.
50:40
Speaker 3: He'd have to go along with it. But I think
50:46
Speaker 3: there are going to be very serious discussions in the
50:49
Speaker 3: White House by all the partisans whose paycheck is written
50:55
Speaker 3: by continuing the regime. Everyone who stays in power is
50:59
Speaker 3: going to say, you know, now, if you say your
51:02
Speaker 3: health has reached a point that you need to step aside,
51:06
Speaker 3: which clearly it has. Of course it had a year ago,
51:08
Speaker 3: two years ago, three years ago, four years ago. But
51:11
Speaker 3: if you say that and she's the sitting president from
51:14
Speaker 3: the Democrat perspective, I think they would say it increases
51:18
Speaker 3: our chances of her winning, and we want to win,
51:22
Speaker 3: and they put winning above everything else. I don't think
51:24
Speaker 3: it's greater than fifty to fifty, but I think it
51:27
Speaker 3: is a very real possibility right now today.
51:30
Speaker 1: I don't like that prediction.
51:31
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't I don't either. I
51:35
Speaker 3: don't want it to come true.
51:38
Speaker 2: It gives it like it gives her a huge advantage,
51:41
Speaker 2: huge advantages.
51:42
Speaker 3: Which is why I think they will have a very
51:45
Speaker 3: serious discussion. I think if they can bully Joe Biden
51:48
Speaker 3: into doing it, it'll happen.
51:50

52:08
Speaker 1: Of the show.
