House Gets a Deal Done plus Woke Department Chains STILL going after Your Kids · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Well, we got a deal done in the House. That
0:03
Speaker 1: is the headline. The question is how was the deal
0:07
Speaker 1: done and how did it turn out to be so
0:10
Speaker 1: different than what was originally going to happen. It is
0:13
Speaker 1: the art of the deal, that's the best way I
0:15
Speaker 1: can describe it. And it was a deal that certainly
0:17
Speaker 1: was going to put us in a better place than
0:19
Speaker 1: we were before because many Conservatives were willing to stand
0:24
Speaker 1: up and fight hard. The Maga revolt, that's how it's
0:28
Speaker 1: being described in the press right now. Slash the original
0:32
Speaker 1: one thousand, five hundred and forty seven page spending bill
0:38
Speaker 1: all the way down to just one hundred and eighteen
0:42
Speaker 1: pages this Friday, and the House bill to a verta
0:46
Speaker 1: government shutdown was trimmed by one thousand, three hundred and
0:51
Speaker 1: fifty nine pages after conservatives said, no, we are not
0:56
Speaker 1: going to have this massive expansion of government and it
0:59
Speaker 1: can continuing resolution and we're not going to have the
1:02
Speaker 1: pork barrel spending in the cr as Well, House Speaker
1:06
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson's original measure was filled with pork, There's no
1:10
Speaker 1: doubt about it. Now. He also had to work a
1:12
Speaker 1: deal because he had to deal with Republicans and Democrats,
1:16
Speaker 1: and that's a very tough spot to be in. I
1:18
Speaker 1: want to be clear about that, and I'm going to
1:19
Speaker 1: explain more about why I say that in a moment.
1:22
Speaker 1: But the reduction in size underscores what I would say
1:26
Speaker 1: is that failure by the pork barrel spenders in DC
1:30
Speaker 1: who wanted to pass a massive spending bill with Democrats
1:33
Speaker 1: support that few had even read before members were asked
1:37
Speaker 1: to vote on it, and that is a problem. There
1:40
Speaker 1: is an appetite for government reform right now. There's an
1:43
Speaker 1: appetite for reducing the size of government. It's very clear
1:46
Speaker 1: that there was a mandate for that in this last election.
1:49
Speaker 1: There is a huge appetite in people supporting and advocating
1:53
Speaker 1: for DOGE. That is going to be streamlining and changing
1:59
Speaker 1: how we do and run and spend our money in
2:03
Speaker 1: the US. That's being done by Elon Musk and by
2:06
Speaker 1: the vic Ramaswamie at the leadership of Donald Trump. Now
2:10
Speaker 1: you put all that together and Democrats are angry. They're
2:15
Speaker 1: angry at Elon Musk, and they're angry at MAGA. They're
2:18
Speaker 1: angry at Conservatives for standing up to the government waste
2:22
Speaker 1: and abuse. How angry are they let me play for you.
2:27
Speaker 1: Rosa Delaro, who lost her mind on the floor of
2:31
Speaker 1: the House. Is she's angry as she describes it, that
2:34
Speaker 1: there is some man who is elected by no one
2:38
Speaker 1: who is now giving marching orders to the House and
2:41
Speaker 1: the Republicans to shut down the government. As she described it,
2:45
Speaker 1: take a listen to the purpled haired Democrat from Connecticut.
2:50
Speaker 2: We are on the cusp of an agreement to move
2:54
Speaker 2: this country forward. But two days ago, a multi billionaire
3:00
Speaker 2: with apparently no working knowledge of our government or of appropriations,
3:08
Speaker 2: someone who is a self appointed President of the United States,
3:12
Speaker 2: Elon Musk, issued a marching order for House Republicans to
3:18
Speaker 2: go against their own elected leadership. Shut down the government.
3:23
Speaker 2: Shut down the government. House Republicans are responsible for any
3:29
Speaker 2: harm and uncertainty brought upon the American people, and should
3:33
Speaker 2: some get their wish for a month long government shut down,
3:38
Speaker 2: they will be responsible for cleaning up their mess come
3:41
Speaker 2: inauguration day. Indeed, we are in completely unprecedented times when
3:47
Speaker 2: someone who has no knowledge of government, who has no
3:52
Speaker 2: knowledge of an appropriations process, who is external to the
3:58
Speaker 2: House of Representatives, can make his weight felt here in
4:03
Speaker 2: turning what was a bill that was on its way,
4:09
Speaker 2: a bipartisan bill, a bi camer bill, was on its
4:13
Speaker 2: way to achieving its goal of keeping the US government open.
4:19
Speaker 2: And the goal actually is providing services to American citizens,
4:25
Speaker 2: to working families, middle class families, vulnerable families, where our
4:33
Speaker 2: responsibility lies. The world's richest man reaping billions in government
4:42
Speaker 2: contracts is calling the shots in the Republican Party at
4:48
Speaker 2: the behest of the world's richest man, who no one
4:53
Speaker 2: voted for. The United States Congress has been thrown into
4:58
Speaker 2: pandemonian It leads you to to the question of who
5:02
Speaker 2: is in charge. I thought that there was a Republican
5:07
Speaker 2: majority in this body, not a President Musk majority.
5:18
Speaker 1: Now let's talk about what she said. Quote the self
5:21
Speaker 1: appointed President of the United States, Elon Musk Is, he'd
5:23
Speaker 1: a marching order for House Republicans to shut the government down.
5:27
Speaker 1: What he made, what he actually did was he said, no,
5:29
Speaker 1: I'm calling out the abuse of power. I'm calling out
5:34
Speaker 1: the fact that you've got a bill that no one's read.
5:36
Speaker 1: There's one five and forty seven pages long, filled with
5:39
Speaker 1: port Belle spending, and I want to reduce it. And
5:42
Speaker 1: we did and condensed it into one hundred and eighteen pages,
5:45
Speaker 1: and excluded the extreme amount of pork that Johnson allowed.
5:48
Speaker 1: By the way, in the original bill, Elon Musk is
5:52
Speaker 1: not the President of the United States of America. But
5:54
Speaker 1: what Elon Musk did was give a voice to the
5:57
Speaker 1: voiceless in this country and those that don't have the
6:00
Speaker 1: type of power to get the word out that he
6:03
Speaker 1: clearly does. And the American people clearly agreed with him,
6:07
Speaker 1: and the American people acted, and the American people called
6:10
Speaker 1: their congressman, and the American people got rid literally, this
6:14
Speaker 1: is not exaggeration, got rid of one thousand, three hundred
6:19
Speaker 1: and fifty nine pages of government waste, abuse and fraud.
6:25
Speaker 1: That is incredible. So was it worth it? Yes? Was
6:30
Speaker 1: it anarchy? No? Was it Elon Musk giving power to
6:34
Speaker 1: the people to make sure that the people were able
6:38
Speaker 1: to do what they need to do and saying no
6:42
Speaker 1: to mass suspending. Yes. Now, here's what you need to
6:47
Speaker 1: know about what they have passed on the House side.
6:49
Speaker 1: And I'm going to get to the Senate in a moment,
6:51
Speaker 1: because the Senate is controlled, as you know, by the Democrats.
6:54
Speaker 1: Right now, the bill will fund the government until March fourteenth.
7:00
Speaker 1: It also includes disaster relief and farm aid, which is
7:04
Speaker 1: very important. The builders does not include an extension of
7:08
Speaker 1: the debt limit, which President elect Donald Trump demanded. That
7:11
Speaker 1: will place Johnson's reelection on January third for Speaker in
7:15
Speaker 1: a very precarious position. I want to be clear, I
7:18
Speaker 1: support Speaker Johnson, and I think we would get a
7:21
Speaker 1: much more liberal speaker if Speaker Johnson is pushed out.
7:25
Speaker 1: And I don't like what we're doing right now. Every
7:27
Speaker 1: time somebody because there's such a thin margin for Republicans
7:32
Speaker 1: that there's a lot of power now given to certain
7:34
Speaker 1: members in Congress, and I don't like where we're headed
7:37
Speaker 1: with this because if you don't like your one way
7:39
Speaker 1: or the way things are going, the fact that you
7:41
Speaker 1: can get rid of another speaker, I think is a
7:43
Speaker 1: very bad decision. I also think that Speaker Johnson has
7:46
Speaker 1: done a very good job, and I think you will
7:49
Speaker 1: serve Donald Trump very well, much better than Kevin McCarthy
7:53
Speaker 1: would have ever done. And if he's not careful, what's
7:56
Speaker 1: going to happen is you're going to end up getting
7:58
Speaker 1: a much more liberal member of the body who would
8:02
Speaker 1: end up becoming the Speaker of the House because they'll
8:04
Speaker 1: get some votes from Democrats to do it more than likely,
8:07
Speaker 1: and then you'll lose an actual conservative in Speaker Johnson.
8:11
Speaker 1: That's where we are now with this. Now, let me
8:14
Speaker 1: also put it this way. Punch Bowl News reported on
8:18
Speaker 1: the politics the latest proposed measure, saying this Johnson is
8:22
Speaker 1: now pushing a short term funding bill that keeps federal
8:25
Speaker 1: agencies open until mid March. The bill would include one
8:28
Speaker 1: hundred billion in disaster aid for the hurricane battery Southeast
8:31
Speaker 1: and other states. There's also thirty billion in aid for
8:35
Speaker 1: farmers and a one year extension of the current agriculture policy.
8:39
Speaker 1: The measure will be taken up under suspicion according to
8:43
Speaker 1: senior GOP lawmakers and AIDS meeting, meaning it needs a
8:46
Speaker 1: two third majority to pass. There'll be one vote instead
8:50
Speaker 1: of individual votes on the component parts as Johnson's first envisioned. Now,
8:55
Speaker 1: what we know is what happened. What we know now,
8:58
Speaker 1: it's very clear this has past the House, and it's
9:02
Speaker 1: past the House, and it now is the sentence. And
9:06
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about that vote obviously in a moment.
9:09
Speaker 1: But what I want you to understand is this Speaker
9:12
Speaker 1: Johnson was able to get this bill to drop significantly
9:17
Speaker 1: in size and save you the taxpayers, hundreds of billions
9:22
Speaker 1: of dollars. The problem now is you're now going to
9:26
Speaker 1: have a debt ceiling vote come early next year, and
9:29
Speaker 1: that's going to be under the Republican leadership and under
9:32
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. There are many people that didn't want that,
9:34
Speaker 1: don't like it, didn't want to have to deal with this,
9:37
Speaker 1: and that's a political issue that we're going to obviously
9:39
Speaker 1: have to deal with. So let's talk about the fallout
9:43
Speaker 1: now of this deal. There is clearly blood in the
9:46
Speaker 1: water over this deal, and the sharks are circling around
9:51
Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson because of the fighting and the pork and
9:55
Speaker 1: everything that's in this bill. Now, I want to be clear,
9:58
Speaker 1: when you have this razor thin the majority as he does,
10:01
Speaker 1: it gives a lot of yahoos in Congress a lot
10:04
Speaker 1: of power, and it makes you have to listen to
10:08
Speaker 1: more people and to give people more things they want
10:11
Speaker 1: to make sure you get their vote. Otherwise then you
10:13
Speaker 1: have a government shut down and it's on you, the
10:15
Speaker 1: Republican Party. I want to make it very clear that
10:19
Speaker 1: I still believe that Speaker Johnson is a conservative, and
10:22
Speaker 1: I also want to be clear that I think he's
10:24
Speaker 1: probably the most conservative that we could get elected that
10:27
Speaker 1: would have the votes to be elected as a Speaker
10:30
Speaker 1: of the House. I don't like what we're doing right now,
10:33
Speaker 1: which every time there's a vote on saying significant, there's
10:36
Speaker 1: this litanus test. It's like, well, if you don't give
10:38
Speaker 1: me what I want, then I'm going to get you
10:40
Speaker 1: out of your office and your job. And I don't
10:42
Speaker 1: like a speaker being held hostage by his own party.
10:45
Speaker 1: But that's the road that Republicans are going down right now.
10:49
Speaker 1: And I'm saying it again, I think you have to
10:51
Speaker 1: be extremely careful. You have to be very, very, very
10:55
Speaker 1: very careful, because this is what the Democratic Party does
10:58
Speaker 1: better than us. They don't eat their own. We keep
11:02
Speaker 1: eating our own. And you have to understand that there's
11:06
Speaker 1: ideals and then there's the reality of the numbers. And
11:09
Speaker 1: if you look at the majority and just how thin
11:12
Speaker 1: it is right now, we're lucky to have the majority
11:14
Speaker 1: in the House, to be clear, We're very lucky, and
11:18
Speaker 1: it is a razor thin majority. What Speaker Johnson is
11:23
Speaker 1: having to walk into every day where any one or
11:25
Speaker 1: two or three Congressmen can hold him hostage every single
11:29
Speaker 1: day of the week, on any issue is not a
11:32
Speaker 1: healthy place for us to be. And it's not Democrats
11:35
Speaker 1: that are holding him hostage, it is Republicans that are
11:38
Speaker 1: holding him hostage. This is an extremely hard job, especially
11:44
Speaker 1: when you have Republicans there are, in essence willing to
11:47
Speaker 1: walk in every day different ones and blackmail him. Now,
11:51
Speaker 1: the deal he negotiated with the Democrats failed to get
11:53
Speaker 1: a vote amid Republican outrage because of what he was
11:58
Speaker 1: having to do, which was to give pork. He had
12:02
Speaker 1: no other option but to do that or to have
12:04
Speaker 1: a government shut down. Now, I want to be clear
12:08
Speaker 1: about what did and didn't happen here because some people
12:10
Speaker 1: are blaming Johnson for all this and they don't understand
12:14
Speaker 1: the reality of the situation. The reason why we got
12:19
Speaker 1: this bill reduced by thirteen hundred plus pages is because
12:23
Speaker 1: the American people started calling not Johnson, but they're actual
12:26
Speaker 1: members of Congress, and the actual members of Congress for
12:29
Speaker 1: feeling the heat. They were afraid they were going to
12:30
Speaker 1: get in trouble or be primaried, and so then they
12:34
Speaker 1: decided to do the right thing that allowed Johnson to
12:37
Speaker 1: get a different deal done. When you and there's people
12:40
Speaker 1: that are ignorant. They don't understand Johnson does not have
12:43
Speaker 1: near as much power as you think when it comes
12:45
Speaker 1: to counting, because you still have to count to two
12:48
Speaker 1: eighteen to pass something, and Johnson was put in an
12:51
Speaker 1: impossible situation. And one of the good things that came
12:54
Speaker 1: out of Elon Musk's tweets and the Vicaramasom's tweets and
12:57
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's tweets is that there was so much pressure
13:00
Speaker 1: put on members of Congress to do the right thing
13:03
Speaker 1: that that's what happened. This was not Speaker Johnson's fault.
13:06
Speaker 1: And if you think that it is, you need to
13:08
Speaker 1: understand how Washington works. And that's my job here is
13:11
Speaker 1: to explain it to you. I also think that there
13:16
Speaker 1: is a problem, and this is a storm that is
13:18
Speaker 1: brewing because we're going to have a debt ceiling vote
13:21
Speaker 1: going into next year. I don't like that, but this
13:23
Speaker 1: is the best deal we apparently could get done at
13:25
Speaker 1: the time, and you still have to be able to
13:28
Speaker 1: count to two eighteen. Now Friday afternoon, for example, there
13:33
Speaker 1: was a Republican representative from New York delivered the latest
13:37
Speaker 1: blow to Johnson, walking into a House Republican conference being
13:40
Speaker 1: to hash out another path forward and made clear that
13:43
Speaker 1: she stands on Johnson's leadership or lack thereof, saying quote,
13:46
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on, and really that's part
13:49
Speaker 1: of the problem, is what she said to reporters, adding
13:51
Speaker 1: there has been quote zero communication from leadership to the membership.
13:54
Speaker 1: Something should change before January third. So you can already
13:58
Speaker 1: see Republicans are saying hey, and it's one or two
14:01
Speaker 1: of them that can have this much power. This is
14:06
Speaker 1: also an example of Representative Thomas Massey, Republican from Kentucky.
14:11
Speaker 1: He's committed to voting against Johnson as well. Representative Rich McCormick,
14:15
Speaker 1: a Republican from Georgia, said on Thursday he would oppose
14:18
Speaker 1: Johnson if the vote were held today. When asked how
14:21
Speaker 1: frustrating frustrated she was with Johnson, the congresswoman that I
14:25
Speaker 1: mentioned a moment ago from New York answered, how does
14:29
Speaker 1: it sound, referring to how mad she is? Now that's
14:33
Speaker 1: three Republicans. Look at the majority. It's razor thin. I
14:38
Speaker 1: will tell you right now, there is no one else
14:41
Speaker 1: on the list to be Speaker of the House that
14:43
Speaker 1: is as conservative and or as solid of a Christian
14:47
Speaker 1: is Speaker Johnson. Okay, Speaker Johnson keeps getting put in
14:52
Speaker 1: an impossible situation over and over and over and over
14:58
Speaker 1: and over again. Put in to an impossible situation because
15:04
Speaker 1: he has such a small window for success, and there
15:08
Speaker 1: are so many liberals out there, an opportunists, I would argue,
15:12
Speaker 1: in the Republican Party that can just straight up screw
15:15
Speaker 1: with him whenever they want to. And that is one
15:18
Speaker 1: of the biggest problems here, and that's why they're saying, ooh,
15:21
Speaker 1: there's blood in the water. Oh, maybe we can get
15:23
Speaker 1: rid of him. My question is careful what you wish for.
15:26
Speaker 1: Who are you going to get? That's the question that
15:30
Speaker 1: everybody needs to be asking who are you going to get? Now?
15:38
Speaker 1: Representative Chip Roy, for example, asking the question today, sidestepping
15:43
Speaker 1: the question over Trump's primary thread over the spending bill, saying, quote,
15:47
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the politics here. Take a listen, all.
15:51
Speaker 3: Right for the very latest on all of this, Let's
15:53
Speaker 3: bring in Texas Republican Congressman Chip Roy, who serves on
15:55
Speaker 3: the House Budget Committee. So the meeting with the House
15:58
Speaker 3: Republican Conference is still going on. I assume you were
16:01
Speaker 3: there for a time. What's going on inside and are
16:04
Speaker 3: we going to see a deal? Are we going to
16:06
Speaker 3: see a vote? We're going to see a government shuts
16:08
Speaker 3: down all options on the table. I don't know.
16:13
Speaker 1: Hey, John, Hey Shannon.
16:13
Speaker 4: Great to be on And yeah, the meeting is still
16:15
Speaker 4: underway as we speak, and we're having a good conversation.
16:18
Speaker 4: And look, President Trump is absolutely right. We need to
16:20
Speaker 4: deal with the debt ceiling. We need to get it
16:22
Speaker 4: off the table so that he can proceed to do
16:24
Speaker 4: what he needs to do without Chuck Schumer rattling the
16:26
Speaker 4: markets with threats of default. That's what Chuck Schumer has
16:29
Speaker 4: said publicly and to people in the Senate he wants
16:32
Speaker 4: to do so.
16:33
Speaker 1: President Trump is right. The question is how we get there.
16:35
Speaker 4: The first bill that was negotiated obviously was a non
16:38
Speaker 4: starter once the American people saw everything that was in
16:42
Speaker 4: five hundred and fifty pages.
16:43
Speaker 1: So we've moved the needle forward to a better bill.
16:45
Speaker 1: But it was a bill.
16:46
Speaker 4: And you asked why did I oppose the bill last night?
16:48
Speaker 4: Thirty eight Republicans opposed it was because it came with
16:52
Speaker 4: two year extension of the debt ceiling, which would be
16:54
Speaker 4: about five trillion dollar a lift in our credit card
16:57
Speaker 4: without any structural spending reforms. Our position is, mister President,
17:02
Speaker 4: we want to deliver for you on a debt ceiling
17:05
Speaker 4: increase to get it out of the way. Chuck Schumer
17:07
Speaker 4: can't abuse it, but we need spending restraints. So what
17:10
Speaker 4: we've been doing for forty eight hours is meeting, meeting
17:13
Speaker 4: with the Vice president, meeting with a lot of folks
17:15
Speaker 4: in his incoming administration. I think we've got the outlines
17:18
Speaker 4: of something that would work, but we're still discussing it
17:21
Speaker 4: as we speak. I think we can get something done
17:24
Speaker 4: that will make everybody happy.
17:25
Speaker 1: We're working hard to do it.
17:27
Speaker 3: Okay, Well, talk about the outlines in just a second,
17:29
Speaker 3: and let me come back to this idea of the
17:30
Speaker 3: debt ceiling and voting against the proposal the President Trump
17:34
Speaker 3: was proposing and was getting behind. He was supporting it,
17:37
Speaker 3: because he's now taking aim at you, saying that you
17:40
Speaker 3: Chip Royer getting in the way of what he wants done,
17:42
Speaker 3: and he's encouraging Republicans in Texas to primary.
17:45
Speaker 1: You mean you've really poked the bear here. Yeah.
17:49
Speaker 4: Look, at the end of the day, my job is
17:50
Speaker 4: to honor God, my family, the Constitution, of voters, the voters.
17:54
Speaker 1: Who sent me here. That is what drives me.
17:56
Speaker 4: But I am working tirelessly to get what the president wants.
18:00
Speaker 4: Think the president knows that at the end of the day,
18:02
Speaker 4: look politics or politics. Rick Perry called President trumpet cancer
18:06
Speaker 4: and then ended up in his cabinet. I'm not worried
18:08
Speaker 4: about politics. I'm worried about the American people. I'm worried
18:11
Speaker 4: about inflation. I'm worried about a five trillion dollars dead
18:14
Speaker 4: sealing increase with no spending cuts. The President is rightly
18:17
Speaker 4: motivated to block Chuck Schumer's abuse, but we Republicans here
18:21
Speaker 4: in Congress, in the House, have an obligation to get
18:23
Speaker 4: it done correctly. That's what we're working to try to
18:26
Speaker 4: do on behalf of the President and our constituents and
18:29
Speaker 4: our obligations under the Constitution.
18:31
Speaker 3: All right, So let's look behind the curtain if we
18:34
Speaker 3: could just a little bit, because our Aisha Husti tells
18:36
Speaker 3: us that there's a couple of options being talked about
18:39
Speaker 3: right now. One is a cr that will be coupled
18:41
Speaker 3: with disasterrate and farm made. It would be effective through March.
18:45
Speaker 3: It would be the vote would be on a suspension
18:48
Speaker 3: of the rules which limits debate no amendments. Our option
18:51
Speaker 3: number two is a CR disaster rate and farm made
18:54
Speaker 3: is separate bills in separate votes. Which way do you
18:56
Speaker 3: think is going to go?
18:58
Speaker 4: Well, that is what is being debated as we speak.
19:00
Speaker 4: And I don't want to get in front of the
19:01
Speaker 4: speaker or my colleagues making news here or violate confidences
19:05
Speaker 4: of a private meeting. But everything hinges on getting comfortable
19:09
Speaker 4: with the outlines and the contours of spending restraint next
19:12
Speaker 4: year in reconciliation as part of the agreement on how
19:16
Speaker 4: much we can lift the debt ceiling. I think we're
19:18
Speaker 4: getting comfortable with that outline as we speak, and then
19:21
Speaker 4: if so, one of two things will happen. Either the
19:23
Speaker 4: package last night without the debt ceiling attached to it
19:27
Speaker 4: will move forward because the President is comfortable that we're
19:29
Speaker 4: going to be able to get that done in January,
19:32
Speaker 4: or there might be some standalone votes on a continual
19:35
Speaker 4: resolution plus the farm bill extension of one year a separate.
19:38
Speaker 1: Now you can hear there they're talking to him about
19:41
Speaker 1: this vote. We know what happened, We understand this, but
19:44
Speaker 1: I want you to notice now what the media has done.
19:48
Speaker 1: They are now trying to turn these votes into civil
19:51
Speaker 1: war within the Republican Party. Chip Roy's a good man,
19:56
Speaker 1: he's a fiscal conservative, he's a Christian, he's a hard
20:00
Speaker 1: fighter for our constitution, and he's somebody that I would
20:04
Speaker 1: argue as a great member of Congress. I tell you
20:09
Speaker 1: this tale to remind you to be careful to not
20:13
Speaker 1: fall into the civil war idea within the Republican Party,
20:17
Speaker 1: because this is what Democrats want. They want Donald Trump
20:20
Speaker 1: angry to conservative hardcore member of Congress and being at
20:24
Speaker 1: odds with one another. That is a problem. We do
20:27
Speaker 1: not need to be in a civil war period. Many
20:32
Speaker 1: of you may be doing your last minute Christmas shopping
20:35
Speaker 1: and I want you to understand what we have just
20:37
Speaker 1: found out about. Major corporations including Kia TJ Max listed
20:45
Speaker 1: as corporate sponsors of the Rainbow Library pushing trans books
20:51
Speaker 1: on your children. The retailers TJ Max and the automaker
20:57
Speaker 1: Kia are listed as co spon munsters of a program
21:01
Speaker 1: that is distributing the LGBTQ themed books to k through
21:06
Speaker 1: twelve schools across the United States. This according to a
21:10
Speaker 1: Wednesday report from the conservative nonprofit Consumer Research obtained by
21:15
Speaker 1: the Daily Caller News Foundation. Now, the initiative titled the
21:21
Speaker 1: Rainbow Library is run by national LGBTQ plus activist organization,
21:29
Speaker 1: the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network known as GLSEN.
21:36
Speaker 1: What does it do It sends participating teachers books that
21:41
Speaker 1: push transgenderism and homosexuality onto kids as young as five.
21:48
Speaker 1: Over eight thousand, one hundred schools in thirty three different
21:52
Speaker 1: states nationwide are now participating in the program. Meaning there's
21:57
Speaker 1: a very good chance that your kids, are grandkids are
22:00
Speaker 1: at a public school where this is actually in the
22:03
Speaker 1: library system and being used in the classroom. Now, let
22:09
Speaker 1: me read you this quote. TJ Max and KIA are
22:13
Speaker 1: pushing radical gender ideology on kids through their sponsorship of
22:18
Speaker 1: the g LSEEN Rainbow Network, which promotes transgender ideology and
22:23
Speaker 1: classrooms across the country through books and recommended lesson plans
22:28
Speaker 1: for teachers. So it's not just the books are available,
22:31
Speaker 1: it is actual lesson plans for the teachers to then
22:35
Speaker 1: follow to then indoctrinate your children. That is what Will Hoild,
22:40
Speaker 1: Executive director of Consumer Research, set and a statement. By
22:44
Speaker 1: sponsoring organizations with a political activist agenda like this organization
22:50
Speaker 1: in the Rainbow Library, these companies are putting woke politics
22:56
Speaker 1: specifically ahead of their consumer base. In other word, words,
23:00
Speaker 1: TJ Max and kir are hoping that you won't find
23:03
Speaker 1: out that this is what they are involved in. Now
23:06
Speaker 1: here's something else that you need to understand as well.
23:09
Speaker 1: A spokesman for Kia has come out understanding that they
23:12
Speaker 1: have walked into a major problem, and they have denied
23:16
Speaker 1: in a statement that the auto company sponsored the Rainbow
23:20
Speaker 1: Library in twenty twenty three or twenty twenty four, but
23:24
Speaker 1: they did not respond to further inquiries about why it
23:27
Speaker 1: was prominently displayed as a sponsor on the GLSN website.
23:36
Speaker 1: I am looking at the website. It is there right now,
23:39
Speaker 1: and I'm going to tell you even more about this
23:41
Speaker 1: in a moment. But first I want to tell you
23:44
Speaker 1: about Patriot Mobile. If you are like me and you
23:47
Speaker 1: are tired of giving your money to organizations that are
23:51
Speaker 1: fighting against your conservative and Christian values, then you really
23:54
Speaker 1: need to look at your cell phone bill. You may
23:57
Speaker 1: not realize that the Big Mobile four years has been
24:01
Speaker 1: giving big donations to democratic causes, candidates and radical organizations.
24:09
Speaker 1: I'm talking about organizations that are paying for abortions on demand.
24:14
Speaker 1: That's not all the Big Mobile has been giving donations
24:17
Speaker 1: to organizations that also are in favor of defunding the police.
24:21
Speaker 1: And that's another reason why you need to know where
24:24
Speaker 1: your cash is going, and that's why you need to
24:27
Speaker 1: switch to Patriot Mobile. Now, Patriot Mobile, I'm proud to
24:30
Speaker 1: say I'm a customer. I get the same great coverage
24:33
Speaker 1: that I was used to before with Big Mobile. But
24:35
Speaker 1: when I made the switch, I knew I was making
24:37
Speaker 1: a difference every time I made a phone call, every
24:39
Speaker 1: time I sent a text, and every time I paid
24:41
Speaker 1: my bill. Because a Patriot Mobile, about five percent of
24:44
Speaker 1: your bill every month is going to go back at
24:47
Speaker 1: no extra cost to you, to organizations that are fighting
24:51
Speaker 1: for our First and our Second Amendment rights, that are
24:54
Speaker 1: fighting for the sanctity of life, that are helping with adoptions.
24:59
Speaker 1: And then they also good money to our military, our
25:01
Speaker 1: first responder heroes, and our wounded warriors. So you can
25:05
Speaker 1: take a stand. Every time you pay a bill. You're
25:07
Speaker 1: gonna have a cell phone bill, why not be with
25:09
Speaker 1: a company that's fighting for your values. You're gonna get
25:12
Speaker 1: the same cover you used too. Because Patriot Mobile operates
25:15
Speaker 1: across all three major networks, you'll have zero issues there
25:19
Speaker 1: and they even have a coverage guarantee. Call them or

Speaker 1: slash ben. All right, now, let's go back to the
25:48
Speaker 1: books for a moment, because this is what you need
25:52
Speaker 1: to understand, uh about these companies and what they're doing.
25:56
Speaker 1: When you go and shop at Tjmac slash Marshals, or
25:59
Speaker 1: you go and buy Kiya Kar, I want you to
26:01
Speaker 1: understand just how extreme they are in pushing transgenderism on
26:06
Speaker 1: your kids or your grandkids. One of the books distributed
26:10
Speaker 1: by Rainbow Library is titled When Aiden Becomes a Brother.
26:16
Speaker 1: It tells the story of a black girl who becomes
26:21
Speaker 1: or comes out as, quote unquote transgender and quote explores
26:26
Speaker 1: plural different ways of being a boy. The GLSN recommends
26:34
Speaker 1: the story as part of its lesson plan for second graders.
26:39
Speaker 1: According to the Rainbow Library website, The program also instructs
26:44
Speaker 1: the educators to keep it confidential, in other words, hide
26:49
Speaker 1: it from the parents, right so that we can help
26:52
Speaker 1: indoctor nate this kid. I said it. Moms were going
26:55
Speaker 1: to go back to going to Target, even after the
27:00
Speaker 1: radical agenda of Target to have like tucking swimsuits for
27:05
Speaker 1: toddlers and binding swimsuits for young girls. And I said,
27:12
Speaker 1: you watch, There'll be some moms that will stop going
27:15
Speaker 1: to Target for a little bit, but the majority are
27:17
Speaker 1: going to come back. And that's why Target is still
27:20
Speaker 1: giving two thousand, three thousand, four thousand, whatever the number
27:23
Speaker 1: is of square feet to their stores for hardcore LGBTQIA
27:28
Speaker 1: and doctor Nation and support during the summer months. And
27:33
Speaker 1: I was right. You look at the stock value of Target,
27:36
Speaker 1: you look at their sales numbers. They came down a
27:39
Speaker 1: little bit after that controversy, and then after the controversy
27:44
Speaker 1: kind of moved on to other things. What ended up happening.
27:47
Speaker 1: They moved on, folks, They moved on and they went
27:52
Speaker 1: right back to shopping. Many mothers did because Target's just
27:55
Speaker 1: so convenient, and people are like, I don't want to
27:57
Speaker 1: go to Walmart, so I'll go to Target. And that
27:59
Speaker 1: is now where we are. Don't forget Share this podcast
