1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Welcome. It is Verdict with Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson here

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:05,640
Speaker 1: with you. Nice to have you, guys, and we have

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: a lot of news to talk about. The Senator is

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: on the road joining us as he is traveling from

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 1: the last bus stop in Missouri heading to another very

6
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: important state. Senator, I appreciate you joining us, and for

7
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,119
Speaker 1: everybody that's an audio quality geek like me, just no,

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: he's on the phone because we're on the bus tour today. Senator,

9
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: how's it going so far? Well, fantastic. As you mentioned,

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: we're on the bus. We're headed down the freeway. We're

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: going from Missouri up to the state of Iowa. After Iowa,

12
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: we're head to do Ohio and then Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida,

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: backup to Michigan, then to Wisconsin, and we're ending in

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: the great state of Texas. You've been out there and

15
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 1: you've obviously seen the crowds, and if you haven't been

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: following the Senator on social media, you should look at

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: the pictures. I think the crowds that you've been seeing

18
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: are very indicative of what voter turnout could look like

19
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: in just a few weeks on the Republican side of things.

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: And while that's happening center, we're also noticing a very

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: interesting new trend, and it's one I think is concerning

22
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: for all Americans. That is, major Democrats are refusing to

23
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: debate conservative candidates. You and I were talking about this

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: before the show. Your concern the Democrats may stop debating

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Republicans if this continues to be an effective strategy for them. Yeah,

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,120
Speaker 1: that's right. It's a really disturbing development. I've been with

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: two of the Republicans who are facing it in the

28
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: last few days. I was in Arizona with Kerry Lake,

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: who's running for governor. I think she's going to be

30
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: elected the Republican governor there, and her Democrat opponent, Katie Hobbs,

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: refuses to debate. She said that there will be no

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: gubernatorial debate in the state of Arizona. She won't do

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: it up in Pennsylvania. Josh Shapiro, the Democrat nominee for governor,

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: refuses to debate Mastriano. Again, no debate for you, He's

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: not going to do it. And I just left Missouri

36
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: last night, did a big rally with Eric Schmidt, who

37
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: is the Republican nominee for Senate in Missouri. His Democrat opponent,

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: Trudy Valentine, a gazillionaire an heiress of the Bush Beer fortune,

39
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: refuses to debate as well. And then what I think

40
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: it is is they are following the Joe Biden basement strategy.

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: They saw that he basically hidden his basement for two

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: years and the media got him elected president. And they're saying,

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: wait a second, this is a great approach because every

44
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: day of the week, the media carries our water, they

45
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: repeat our attack lines, and they protect our candidates. The

46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: only time a candidate has never held to account is

47
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: in a debate. So if we refuse to debate, will

48
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: never be held to account. And I got to say,

49
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: this is a really dangerous development. I think in two

50
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: years or four years, you could see dozens or more

51
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: major Democrat candidates saying we will not debate. And I

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: got to admit I find it personally offensive. I think

53
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: it contempt for the voters. I think it shows contempt

54
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 1: for the democratic process. Listen, I've had debates against opponents

55
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: who were not serious or strong or credible opponents. But

56
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: I think you owe the voters the chance to see

57
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: the candidate to make a decision. But this is yet

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: another step in the Democrats and the corporate media getting

59
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,360
Speaker 1: in bed together and being corrupted. To be clear, it

60
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,679
Speaker 1: worn't for you know, the current president, Joe Biden, and

61
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: it's something that I'm sure woke up a lot of

62
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: Democratics try to saying, look, if we've got a candidate

63
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: that's not good on stage, we've got a candidate can't

64
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: defend the issues. And look at the issues now, they're

65
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 1: a mile long for many of these campaigns, border security,

66
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: the economy, inflation, interest rates. The list, unfortunately literally goes

67
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: on and on. They just say, all right, we'll buy

68
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: the election by buying ads and we just won't debate,

69
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: and hopefully people will just believe us in the media

70
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: will give us cover because the media center would have

71
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: never allowed this to happen ten, fifteen, twenty years ago. Well,

72
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: and it's even more than that. It's not just buying ads,

73
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: it's it's they know that the media's news coverage twenty

74
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: four hours a day will be an ad I mean,

75
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean everything they cover will be trying

76
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: to advance the Democrat message, trying to elect the Democrats

77
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: and right now, the corporate media is the biggest superpack

78
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: in America. For the Democrats, on the other hand, and

79
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: it's not even if your candidate is not that good

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: at debates, even if they are. Look Josh Shapiro in Pennsylvania,

81
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: one of the reasons he won't debate is the polls

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: have him leading by a comfortable margin. And so I'm

83
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: sure their attitude is, hey, we're gonna win if we

84
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: don't do anything, so why screw it up. It's an arrogance.

85
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: It's I'm entitled to be elected, and the voters are

86
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: too stupid. They don't even deserve to see a hard

87
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: question get asked of me, you know, the flip side.

88
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: And part of the reason Democrats do this. So the

89
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: Atlanta Journal Constitution, we just had a debate between herschel

90
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: Walker and Raphael Wardock. The front page of the Atlanta

91
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Journal Constitution says, quote herschel Walker's debate performance scores points

92
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: for his campaign. Well, Raphael Warnock is probably wondering why

93
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: did I get herschel Walker a platform when every other

94
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 1: day the corporate media hacks just attack herschel Walker all

95
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: day long. And suddenly Warnock had to answer difficult questions

96
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: which he hasn't had to answer any day of the

97
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: year when the press refuses to do the job of

98
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: a journalist, refuses to ask Democrats difficult questions or really

99
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: any questions, that it's only during a debate that a

100
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Democrat is forced to defend his or her record or

101
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: answer a hard question. And you mentioned previously that the

102
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: media would have lost their minds because, look, the journalists

103
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: make a lot of money. Media companies make a lot

104
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: of money on these political debates. They are so complicit

105
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: that they're willing to give up millions of dollars to

106
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: make sure Democrats win. Because the media in Arizona and

107
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: Missouri and Pennsylvania ought to be going nuts every single

108
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: day pounding these candidates. Look, it's so bad that there

109
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: was a reporter from Project Veritas who was trying to

110
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: get Katie Hobbs to answer a question. She literally ran

111
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: away and hid in the bathroom rather than answer a

112
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: reporter's question. Because Democrats believe that they're entitled never to

113
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: have to answer a hard questions. It's really interesting, Senator,

114
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,679
Speaker 1: where we are as a country. And I'm talking about

115
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: on transparency, and I'll move from democrats refusing to debate

116
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: to the other side of the coin, which is Republicans

117
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: are willing to have a grand debate. You do college campuses,

118
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: you do a lot of public speaking events, and now

119
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: what we see is the left is trying to cancel us.

120
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: A perfect example of this is is doctor Phil had

121
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: an interesting conversation with Tomy Lauren who is over at

122
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: Fox News, about cancel culture and where Republicans show up,

123
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: they don't want to allow you to speak, but when

124
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Republicans demand Democrats speak, they don't want to do it.

125
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: And I want you to hear part of this that

126
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: was put out about her being canceled. Take a listen.

127
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: I came here to speak in Albuquerque, University of New Mexico.

128
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: I know that there was a protest planned. You know,

129
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: usually when I speak, there's protest planned, and usually it's small,

130
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: it's manageable, just some rowdy people, disgruntled liberals, you know

131
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 1: the standard. That's not what happens in night. It turned violent.

132
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: They started pushing the officers that were guarding the door,

133
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: trying to bust in the door. I was escorted away

134
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: for my safety by officers. The emergency unit had to

135
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: be called in because that's how bad it got. We

136
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: were barricaded in the kitchen, or probably about a half

137
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: an hour to forty five minutes. I mean, you hear that,

138
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: and you hear Tony describe this. And the scary thing is,

139
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: now this is normal. You talk to many college campus speakers,

140
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: you do this. The security apparatus has changed for all

141
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: conservatives that go on campuses. And so while we're saying

142
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: let's have a grand debate, they're saying, not only do

143
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: we not want to debate you, we don't even want

144
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: to allow you to speak. Yeah. So when when Democrat

145
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: candidates are skipping debates and refusing to debate, they're trying

146
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: to silence any public discourse, They're trying to silence their

147
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: ideas being questioned. When you just played there what happened

148
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: to Tommy Lauren on the University to Mexico is a

149
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: step even further, which is many on the left or

150
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: willing to use violence to stop an opposing view. They're

151
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: willing to threaten violence, they're willing to harass, they're willing

152
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: to intimidate the fact that that a young woman had

153
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: to hide and it was law enforcement that told her

154
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: to hide that fur her safety for forty five minutes

155
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 1: because violent leftists were threatening to physically injure her. That

156
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, that is, it's completely wrong. It happens on

157
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: college campuses far too often. Happened, by the way, a

158
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: number of months ago at Yale Law School where a

159
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: lawyer for the Alliance Defending Freedom who had won a

160
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: major Supreme Court case on religious liberty in front of

161
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: the US Supreme Court. She was there speaking and hundreds

162
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 1: of angry leftists at Yale began screaming and shut the

163
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: event down, And of course the Yale Law School campus

164
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: did nothing to punish to reprimand those students. I will say,

165
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: by the way, as an aside, a very interesting development

166
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: for that A good friend of mine is a federal

167
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: judge in the Fifth Circuit, Judge Jim Hoe, and he

168
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: gave a long speech in which he said, given Yale

169
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 1: Law schools willingness to tolerate, cancel culture and to tolerate violence,

170
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: shutting down free speech from this point forward, he is

171
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: not going to hire law clerks who go to Yale

172
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: Law School. And his announcements caused a lot of the

173
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: blue check mark lefties to lose their mind and get

174
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: very very upset. Joe was a very prestigious judge. He's

175
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: a phenomenal judge, and not being able to clerk for

176
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: him is a big deal for young aspiring lawyers. Since then,

177
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: more than a dozen other federal judges that followed suit

178
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: and said we're not going to hire clerks from Yale also,

179
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: And so I'm glad to see people are pushing back

180
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: against this use of violence to censor and silence views

181
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: the left doesn't like. It's getting dangerous, and you look

182
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: at even parents. Now we've started to see a very

183
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: clear trend. It's now normal for the FBI and the

184
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: DOJ to be weaponized to attack people that they don't

185
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: agree with, aka conservatives. We saw this start. You and

186
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: I had this discussion the other day about under the

187
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Obama administration. But now it's gone to the point of

188
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: just total rogue nation. I would describe it where anything

189
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: you don't like, or anybody you don't like, you call

190
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: them a domestic terrorist. And it's not just people saying it,

191
00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: it's the actual government saying it. Parents showed up to

192
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: talk about their kids what they're being taught in schools,

193
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: they were labeled domestic tears, the same as al Qaeda

194
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: or ISIS, and you just came out and this is

195
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: a new group of people they're treating like their terrorists.

196
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: The AMA. You slammed the AMA's call to prosecute people

197
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: exposing radical transgender surgery providers and demands to know and

198
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: thank you for doing this. If the DOJ actually prompted

199
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: this letter, break down this story of how now they're

200
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: saying we'll just take kids away from parents. Well, it's

201
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: yet another escalation of violence. So a second ago we

202
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: were talking about the use of violence from just individual

203
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: actors and institutions turning a blind eye and allowing threats

204
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: of violence to be carried out. There's a further escalation

205
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,680
Speaker 1: of violence, which is the use of state violence, the

206
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: use of state power to threaten, to criminally prosecute it

207
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 1: and incarceerate people on the under basic principles of our constitution,

208
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: the state that the government has a monopoly on violence.

209
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: It should be used only in rare circumstances, in other words,

210
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: to physically prevent someone from committing a crime or to

211
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: punish them from committing a crime. Well, what has happened

212
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: under Barack Obama and what has metastasized even worse under

213
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is the law enforcement agencies, DOJ, FBI, the

214
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: intelligence agency. He's had a m weaponized. It is now

215
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: a tool that they used to go after their enemies

216
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: and to threaten criminal consequences. And so, as you noted,

217
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: we had a number of months ago, the National Association

218
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: of school Boards wrote a letter to President Biden saying,

219
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: will you please target moms and dads who are going

220
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: to school boards and speaking out because they're unhappy about

221
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: critical race theory, They're unhappy about radical transgender ideology. They're

222
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: unhappy about as was the case in Latin County a

223
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: little girl, a fourteen year old girl who was sexually

224
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: assaulted in the bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt,

225
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: and the school board then covered it up, insisted it happened,

226
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: and actually had the father of the little girl arrested

227
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: when he went to the school board meeting expressing his

228
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: understandable deep displeasure. Well Merrick Garland, the Attorney General, five

229
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: days later, immediately wrote a memo to the FBI directing

230
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: them target parents, the NASH Association, the school board and

231
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: aspect that they be targeted under the Patriot Act as

232
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: domestic terrorists and the Biden DJ saluted and said, sir, yes, sir,

233
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: and they are doing it right now. Their parents across

234
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: the country that the FBI is interviewing is going after

235
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: because they've exercised their First Amendment rights. Well, what's happened next?

236
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 1: The American Medical Association decided to get in on the game,

237
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: and the leftists who control the AMA are unhappy that

238
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: a handful of intrepid reporters had begun reporting on these

239
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: hospitals that are making big business millions and up to

240
00:13:54,120 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: billions of dollars performing genital mutilations, performing surgeries where they

241
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: sterilize children, little girls, little boys, They cut off their genitals,

242
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: they remove their uterus, they make it so they cannot

243
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: have children, and it is a money making endeavor. And

244
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: the corporate institution of medicine is embarrassed and mad that

245
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: anyone caught them at it. And so the AMA asked,

246
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: DOJ what did they did? They ask them, Hey, go

247
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: after people that are for someone that that are sterilizing

248
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: children who don't have the ability to consent and are

249
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: not mature enough to make those kind of life decisions. No,

250
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: they're asking, DOJ prosecute the journalists prosecute people who are

251
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: exposing the truth. And so I joined. A week ago,

252
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 1: I brought together five senators and writing a letter to

253
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: DOJ telling Merrick Garland do not do this, this would

254
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: be an abusive power and asking DOJ to give us

255
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: every communication they've had with the AMA. And it's sheet

256
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: another example of using government power to silence those who

257
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: disagree with And in this instance, it's even worse because

258
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: the corporate media won't do its job, but Left is

259
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: trying to literally put in jail anyone who will do

260
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: the job of journalism and report on the horrific activities

261
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: that are being carried out on children and and and

262
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: they're barbaric, and the media supports it all. And I

263
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: suspect the White House and DAJA does as well. Yeah,

264
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: it brings me to another part of this story. A

265
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: Virginia Democrat Center has decided to introduce legislation they would

266
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: allow a parents who don't affirm their child generalinity to

267
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: actually be criminally prosecuted. The local news media put out

268
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: this story. I'm going to play it for everybody, and

269
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: then I want to get your reaction. Yeah, delegate is

270
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: introducing a new bill centered around parents and how they

271
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: handle their child sexual orientation and gender identity. Seven News

272
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: reporter Nick Manak explains why this is controversial right now,

273
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: Parents writes in LGBTQ protections are a big focus in Virginia.

274
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: Thousands of students in Virginia have walked out of class

275
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: protesting Governor Glen Yungkan's newly proposed model policies on the

276
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: treatment of transgender students at school, and Governor Young can

277
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: argue schools shouldn't keep parents in the dark about their

278
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: child's sexual orientation and gender identity. These same progressives in

279
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: Fairfax County I actually believe that they should lock parents

280
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: out of their children's lives. They think that parents have

281
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 1: no right to know what your child is discussing with

282
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: their teacher or their counselor. Democratic Virginia Delegate Elizabeth Guzman

283
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: is a social worker, and she's planning on reintroducing the

284
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: bill in Richmond that she says would help protect LGBTQ

285
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: children from their parents and guardians who may not be

286
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: affirming of their child's sexual orientation and gender identity. This

287
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 1: is how we're going to push back her bill, what

288
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: expand the state's definition of child abuse and neglect to

289
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: include parents who do not affirm their child's gender identity

290
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: or sexual orientation. I mean, I'm just going to stop

291
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: at their senator. You hear this, delegate say this. If

292
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 1: you don't agree with what your child tells you at

293
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: the age of two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

294
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: anywhere in there about their sexual orientation or gender identity,

295
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: then you could be charged criminally with child abuse. It

296
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: is one of the most terrifying news stories I have

297
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: ever read. And this is where the modern left is.

298
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: So what they are saying, So let me stop and

299
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: say that the words gender affirming really deserve to be

300
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame for absurd euphemisms. And by

301
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: the way, gender affirming. Every corporate media hack uses gender

302
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: affirming gender affirming. Let's be clear. What they mean is

303
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: not saying to your kid, oh, you're so awesome, I

304
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: love you, kiddo. No. No. What they mean by gender

305
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: affirming care is, look, Ben, you're you're the father of sons.

306
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,400
Speaker 1: If your son comes to you and says, Daddy, I

307
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: feel like a girl. What they mean by gender affirming

308
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: care is to take it to some hospital that will

309
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: cut his penis off and make it so you can

310
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: never have grandkids from him because they will sterilize him.

311
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: And you know what, your child and no child has

312
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: the maturity to make a decision like that when they

313
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: are a minor, a decision that is life altering. Once

314
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: you cut it off, you don't get it back. It

315
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,959
Speaker 1: is permanent, it is gone. And if adult wants to

316
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 1: do that, adults can make decisions that affect the rest

317
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: of their life. And that's part of the consequence of adulthood.

318
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: But kids, kids don't have that writer ability. And what

319
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: that I'm sorry I have to use the word lunatic death.

320
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: Democrat has proposed in Virginia is that if your son

321
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: says that to you, Ben, and you have the misfortune

322
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: of living in Virginia, that they will come and arrest you,

323
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: Ben and charge you with a felony. She said a

324
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: little bit later in that interview, it would be a

325
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: felony and lock you up in jail because you refused

326
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: to remove your child's genitals. That is well you and

327
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: I have used the phrase cultural Marxism, and I recognize

328
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: to some people that that might seem harsh, that might

329
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: seem extreme. But when you have democrats literally proposing we're

330
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: going to lock moms and dads in jail unless they

331
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: are willing to permanently sterilize and mutilate their children. We

332
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: have really gone over the edge. And that Democrat, I'll

333
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: tell you, I've watched the video of that TV news interview.

334
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: She's quite proud of herself saying this. She believes it

335
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: is a wonderful thing that that that that if you

336
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: won't do it, you should be charged with child abuse,

337
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,360
Speaker 1: prosecuted with a felity, and serve a long prison sentence. Well,

338
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: and let's go down that road. What this also is about, Senator,

339
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: is about then taking your children away from you, putting

340
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: them in foster care. That is obviously going to have

341
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 1: to be by their definition of what breaking the law

342
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: is would have to be someone that is in favor

343
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: of gender affirming surgeries, right of changing someone's gender, because

344
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: if you're a traditional family at that point, as a

345
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: foster family, I guess technically you could be charged with

346
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: the crime if you didn't go down that road with

347
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: the kid as well. So it's not just about putting

348
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: the parent in jail. It's about the ultimate victory for

349
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,879
Speaker 1: them of if you're in jail and we've charged you

350
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: with child abuse, then by default, child Protective Services would

351
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: come in and take your child away from you and

352
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: put them with a family that will be advocating for

353
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: this lifestyle change. Yeah, you're exactly right. Now. Let me

354
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: be clear, this bill has not passed in Virginia yet,

355
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: but it was proposed by an elected Democrat representative. She

356
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: introduced the bill, and Virginia has been ground zero for

357
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: a lot of these battles because if you remember back

358
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: the gubernatorial race when Glen Yonkan was running, I endorsed

359
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: Glenn early on. He's been a friend of mine a

360
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: long time. He and I barnstormed the state of Virginia

361
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: for two entire days right before election day. And a

362
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: big part of why he won is that parents got

363
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: fed up in that election. Terry mcculliffs the Democrat in

364
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,919
Speaker 1: the debate and by the way, no, he had a debate,

365
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: Terry mcculliff, and hindsight probably wishes he didn't have a

366
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: debate and followed the Joe Biden hide the basiness strategy

367
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: because in the debate, Terry mcculloffs said parents have no

368
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 1: business telling schools what their children are being taught, and

369
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Mama bears, a whole bunch of

370
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: Virginia moms got pissed off. And they were moms who

371
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 1: had voted for Joe Biden, who turned around and voted

372
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: for a Republican Glen Youngcan and flipped the state. This

373
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: is the next step of where the radicals want to go.

374
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: They believe what Terry mcculluff said, which is, your children

375
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: are not yours, they're theirs, as they have the power

376
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: to control what has taught to your children and now

377
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: even what permanent life altering medical treatments and mutilations are

378
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: done to your children, even against your wishes as a

379
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: mom or death. Let's look at another crazy story that

380
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: has come out. There are two former leaders in the

381
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: mainstream media senator of x C and N chief boss

382
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: Jeff Zucker and the ax MSNBC chief Phil Griffin, who

383
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: have both come out over the weekend defended ignoring the

384
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden's story, not reporting on both their networks, refused

385
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: to touch it, refused to report on it when it broke,

386
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,840
Speaker 1: even when they had people to them telling them it

387
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: was it was a legitimate news story. They said during

388
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: this the quote unconvention it's a media convention thing. That

389
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: and while they were speaking on a panel together, they

390
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: both said, look, CNN, Zucker said claim they researched in

391
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: the story of Hunter Biden's laptop, but at the network

392
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 1: quote did not spend enough time vetting the authenticity of

393
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: the story. Then CNN finally admitted Center five hundred and

394
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: thirty two days later that the Hunter Biden's Laptop from

395
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: Hell was authentic after the initial story broke a couple

396
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 1: of days before that. They also said it was They

397
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: did call it over and over again Russian disinformation and

398
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: made up. They said that for the entire time they

399
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: refused to admit it was a real story. But now

400
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: when they were asked about it, they both said, you

401
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: got to understand something. We did the right thing here.

402
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: We did the right thing because quote Hunter Biden was

403
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: never arrested. So that is their new standard of I guess,

404
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: covering corruption in the media until some are in politics,

405
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: until someone is arrested, Until someone is arrested for a crime,

406
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: we don't cover the story. Did they do that with

407
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: anybody around Donald Trump? By the way, I'm pretty sure

408
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: that's not their standard. Well, Ben lying, liars, lie and

409
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: with the corrupt corporate media. That's what they do. Look

410
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: when they say that, they know it's b Yes, they

411
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: know they're lying when they say that. Obviously, that's not

412
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: their standard, that they will only cover evidence of corruption

413
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: when someone's arrested. Donald Trump. Last I checked, Donald Trump

414
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: had not been arrested, And I think they've covered every

415
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: minute of every hour of every day for the last

416
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: seven years, every allegation directed at Donald Trump. By the way,

417
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: you know that they're right now doing the same thing

418
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: to herschel Walker. Last I checked, herschel Walker wasn't arrested,

419
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: but there have been all sorts of of personal and

420
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:06,239
Speaker 1: nasty allegations against herschel Walker, which they've breathlessly covered. You know,

421
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 1: they cover every attack directed at me, They covered breathlessly,

422
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: every attack directed at any other Republican they covered breathlessly.

423
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: By the way, they ignore attacks on Democrats across the board.

424
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: So the herschel Walker personal attacks are nasty. I wish

425
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: politics didn't get into intra family disputes. But at the

426
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: same time, Raphael Warnock has some nasty intra family disputes

427
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: that are pretty ugly that I don't think we should

428
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: get into either. But the media play the very selective

429
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: game where they're willing to drag all of one side's

430
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: dirty laundry in public, but not the other side. When

431
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: they sent that at this convention, that well, the reason

432
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: we didn't cover it as he wasn't arrested. Every molecule

433
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: in their body knew they were lying, and they didn't

434
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: care because they were in a room full of other liars,

435
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: and it was simply a pretense to cover up their

436
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: real reason, which is we wanted Joe Biden to win.

437
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: We wanted Donald Trump to lose, and we were willing

438
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: to lie in order to make that happen. It was

439
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean the quote and I still laugh at it.

440
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: Quote he was never arrested, The Justice Department was looking

441
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: into it, never reported it until until he is the

442
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: son of a candidate. I don't think it's a main

443
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 1: story quote until that happens. The head of MSNBC said,

444
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 1: defending themselves on stage, say mean, well, you guys need

445
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,719
Speaker 1: to calm down. We did our job. We were brilliant

446
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 1: journalists in this matter. We just waited five hundred something

447
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: days until until we admitted the laptop was real. But

448
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: before that, and I'm like, well, then you just contradicted

449
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: your own standard. Because if your own standard is Senator

450
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: that we don't report the story until someone's arrested. Hunter

451
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Biden has still not been arrested, So then why did

452
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: you report on it after five hundred days? You contradicted

453
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,719
Speaker 1: your own journalistic standard. Well, and the important thing to understand,

454
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: they're not journalists anymore. They're not pretending to be journalist anymore.

455
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: They are partisans. They're not just Democrats. They're the left

456
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 1: wing of the Democrat Party. You know, what it reminds

457
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 1: me of is what we talked about in our last podcast,

458
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: which is Joe Biden asking Saudi Arabia, hey, will you

459
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: delay the output cut in oil for a month just

460
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 1: to lay it into laster election. In other words, Joe Biden,

461
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in fighting for the American people. Biden's

462
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: not going to fight for lower jasoline prices for families

463
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: that can't afford to provide for their kids. He wants

464
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: thirty days. Let me get past the election. Just get

465
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: me past the election. Do me a political solid here.

466
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: That's what CNN and MSNBC we're doing. They looked at

467
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: this story and said, oh, this is bad for our guy.

468
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: We've got an election coming up. If we report on this,

469
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: people won't like it, and they might not vote for

470
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: our guide. If they don't vote for our guy, the

471
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: guy we don't like might win. So you know what,

472
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 1: Unlike Saudi Arabia who said we're not going to be

473
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: the political henchman for Joe Biden, thank you for the

474
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: invitation CNN, MSNBC happily said, of course, or the political

475
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: henchman for Joe Biden. That is our job. They do

476
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: not behave any differently. Here's a question to ask yourself.

477
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: Would MSNBC behave any differently if the Biden for President

478
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: campaign literally signed their paychecks and if every word they

479
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: say on TV every day is identical to what they

480
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,200
Speaker 1: would say if their paycheck every two weeks came from

481
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: Biden for President. That tells you they're not journalists. They're

482
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: political hacks. And sadly that's the that's the reality of it.

483
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: You even tweeted about this. It was an interesting point.

484
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: There are people that are now demanding that a reporter

485
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: that talked about how in the conversation she was having

486
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: with a politician didn't believe that he was co hearrent

487
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: in this conversation, and now she's been reprimanded and people

488
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 1: are demand that she be fired. So even when the

489
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: media does do their job, their own industry and their

490
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: own network seems to turn on them like automatically because

491
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: they didn't tote the line of propaganda. It really is stunning.

492
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: They had this young NBC reporter who interviewed John Fetterman

493
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: and listen. Fetterman apparently is so mentally diminished that he

494
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: required closed captioning, so not only would he hear the questions,

495
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: but he had to read them to understand what the

496
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: questions were. And this young reporter said afterwards said, wow,

497
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: he really is mentally diminished. I mean it was I

498
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: was trying to talk to him and he couldn't. He

499
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: didn't understand what I was saying and what was going on. Now,

500
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: in any ordinary world, that would be called news, and

501
00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: for a young reporter, that's a big breaking story. She

502
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: ought to be commended for actually reporting on news. But

503
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: several things happened. Number One, f RAN's wife has publicly

504
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: called that this reporter be fired. Why go back to

505
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: the question I said before, how would things be different

506
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: if all of the corporate media's paycheck came from in

507
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: this case, instead of the Biden for President's campaign, the

508
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: John Federman for Senate campaign. Well, if this reporter had

509
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: done this and she worked for the John Federman for

510
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: Senate campaign, they would have fired her. So in some ways,

511
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: I don't fault Missus Federman for saying one of our

512
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: employees said something that was harmful to our candidate, fired them.

513
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 1: And it is interesting the mandarins of the corrupt corporate

514
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: media all jumped on board attacking this poor young reporter

515
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 1: absurdly enough. The View, you know, the show, The View

516
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: you had Whoopee and Sonny going on and on about

517
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: how terrible it was that this reporter actually reported on

518
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: what she saw and how offensive it was. And I

519
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,680
Speaker 1: will say, Ben, I bring up that example with kind

520
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,440
