1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,720 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Ted Cruz week in Review. Ben 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 2: Ferguson with you in Mayomi. Was it a big week 4 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 2: at the Democratic Convention and we covered a lot. Optics 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 2: seem to be the number one thing Democrats were obsessed with, 6 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 2: and it was showing a unified front. But they may 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 2: be lying to you about just how unified the Democratic 8 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 2: Party is. We're gonna explain exactly what Democrats are saying 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: behind closed doors about Kamala Harris's campaign. 10 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: Also playing the hits right. 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 2: It's a smart strategy if you're the Democrats, but can 12 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: it work with Kamala Apparently many of the Democrats don't 13 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 2: think that's a strategy that can get her all the 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 2: way to the White House. And finally, can America actually 15 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: trust Kamala Harris after lying about Biden's cognitive decline and 16 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: covering it up for so long. We're gonna deal with 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 2: all of that. It is the weekend Review and it 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 2: starts right now. You also have the optics of the 19 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 2: party right now, and the Democratic Party is very much 20 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: acting like they are united. But there was some reporting 21 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 2: that came out night two and it said VP. Kamala 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: Harris held an event ninety miles away from the DNC 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 2: on the night the party's two most popular figures, Barack 24 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: and Michelle Obama, campaign on her behalf, and a source 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: familiar with the DNC planning tells Fox that the choice 26 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: was made out of sensitivity and respect for quote Joe 27 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 2: Biden Obamas are still not on the White House good 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 2: side quote unquote Why because well, they were part of 29 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,320 Speaker 2: the coup. A source familiar with the situation said, quote 30 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 2: it would not be helpful, helpful to their relationships quote unquote. 31 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: Fox has told this plan came together to avoid the 32 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: optics of Harris still serving as Biden's VP, appearing alongside 33 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: one of the figures he views as responsible for driving 34 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 2: him out of office, driving the end of his reelection 35 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: bid at the very convention which was suppose to be 36 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 2: his only weeks ago. Quote, we are in tricky territory, 37 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 2: the source said to Fox. Now, I find a little 38 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 2: bit of hope in this because you mentioned the media. 39 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: You mentioned everything's supposed to be kumbaya, but there's still 40 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: a lot going on behind the scenes. There are still people, 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: by the way, and I tweeted this out when I 42 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 2: was watching Michelle Obama and she came out. I said, 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 2: go and compare the crowd noise and the excitement when 44 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,399 Speaker 2: Michelle Obama walked out to when Kamwa Harris walked out. 45 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: And they love Michelle more than they love their president 46 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 2: for their candidate for the White House. 47 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: Well, look that's clearly true. 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 4: And you and I eleven months ago predicted number one, 49 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 4: that Joe Biden the Democrats would throw them off the ticket. 50 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: We were right on that. 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 4: But number two, I predicted that they would replace him 52 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 4: with Michelle Obama. Now I gotta say, if they had, 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 4: I think their odds of winning would be very, very high. 54 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 4: If I were a Democrat, I would have been all 55 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 4: in on the team Michelle, because Michelle would have been 56 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 4: an incredibly formidable candidate. I think they tried to convince 57 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 4: Michelle to do it. I think she said no. And 58 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 4: you and I talked about at the time what would 59 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 4: prevent that, and I said two things would prevent that. 60 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 4: One if Joe refused to go, and I think he 61 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 4: did refuse to go for a month after month after 62 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 4: month until they finally forced him out by threatening the 63 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 4: twenty fifth Amendment. And then I said, number two, maybe, 64 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 4: just maybe Michelle would say no. Why because she likes 65 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: to take more than she needs. Why because she likes 66 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: to fly on a G five. Why because she likes 67 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: Martha's vineyard. Why because she likes to party with Oprah 68 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: Winfrey and George Clooney. Why because she lives the life 69 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 4: of a movie star and so decided not to do that. 70 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 4: Now I'm grateful for America that she did, because, as 71 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 4: I said, she would have been an incredibly dangerous candidate. 72 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 4: But I got to say, listening last night to Michelle 73 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 4: Obama and listening to Barack Obama, those two may be 74 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 4: the two most dangerous demagogues our country has seen in 75 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: a generation. Barack Obama, listening to him talk, that man 76 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 4: is a talented communicator. I disagree with him on virtually 77 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 4: every issue. I think Barack Obama is the progenitor of 78 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: the Marxist takeover of the Democrat Party. 79 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: I think that is his ideology. 80 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 4: It is born of the radical extremism in our universities. 81 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: But he can dress it up in a way that 82 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 4: it doesn't sound extreme. It is dangerous. And I'll say 83 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: one thing I thought about last night during the convention. 84 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 4: Thank God for the twenty second Amendment. Thank God for 85 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: the limitation of two terms as a president, because if 86 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 4: Barack Obama were still running, he might be president for 87 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 4: another decade. And so I'm grateful that he can't formally 88 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 4: have the job. But he remains incredibly potent and incredibly 89 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: dangerous because he masks up extreme ras in a way 90 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 4: that seems innocuous, that seems non threatening, and it seems 91 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 4: very hip and very cool. 92 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 1: Well, I stop watching it. 93 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: He literally demonized Republicans for thirty one minutes and then 94 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 2: called for unity. I mean, who can do that unless 95 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: you're an incredibly talented politician where you trash the other side. 96 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm still waiting for somebody in 97 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: prime time to say they're glad that Donald Trump is 98 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 2: alive and wasn't and wasn't assassinated. That's not ever, that 99 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: hasn't come out of anybody's mouth. 100 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 4: Now they're trying to gas gas like that and and 101 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 4: just completely erase it from public consciousness that it even happened. 102 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: And and here we are two other questions I want 103 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 2: to dive into real quick. I haven't seen a lot 104 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 2: of American flags of the Democratic Convention, except if they're 105 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: being burnt outside of the DNC. Democratic supporters are there 106 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 2: burning the American flag. We are seeing a I would 107 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 2: argue a fair amount of arrests. We've had a second 108 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 2: perimeter wall that's had to be put up because of 109 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: the pro Hamas pro terrorist protesters were able to break 110 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: through the first wall yesterday and the Chicago police. You know, 111 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: for Democrats, they're all about defund the police until they 112 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 2: needed to protect their convention. And many of the Democrats 113 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 2: are being protected by these police are the same ones 114 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 2: that have been demonizing and attacking the police. One of them, 115 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: by the way, is Kamway Harris. Let's not let her 116 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 2: off the hook for that. And we also found out 117 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 2: from the people in charge they said, don't worry if 118 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 2: it's a misdemeanor, no one's going to be charged of 119 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: any crime. 120 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: So go out there and do what you want during 121 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: the convention. 122 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 4: So I think it's worth asking yourself why is it 123 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 4: that anti Israel pro Hamas protesters burn the American flag? 124 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 4: And the reason is simple, those who hate Israel hate America. 125 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 4: And when you unders stand that simple reality, it tells 126 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 4: you an enormous part amount about the delegates that are 127 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 4: in that convention hall. Why is Josh Shapiro, not Kamala 128 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: Harris's VP nominee answer, because he's Jewish, and Kamala Harris 129 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 4: and the Democrat Party did not want to piss off 130 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 4: the angry protesters outside who are burning American flags. That 131 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: is more and more the base of the Democrat Party. 132 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 4: And understand, they don't just hate Israel, they hate America 133 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 4: as well. 134 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 2: All right, so let's look ahead into the political crystal ball. Senator, 135 00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 2: you still have a candidate that the Democratic Party isn't 136 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 2: that excited about that. Behind the scenes, they're worried and 137 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: nervous that the coronation is now coming back down to 138 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: the reality, which is she was not liked as a 139 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: vice president for the last three and a half years. 140 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: She was not liked as a presidential candidate either, and 141 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 2: was like one of the first ones out of the race. 142 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 2: And now she's back in prime time. What does she 143 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: have to do to sell herself to the American people? 144 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 2: Can she overcome all of that? Or are they just 145 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 2: screwed because Harris is at the end of the day 146 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: still Harris. 147 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 4: Well, look, they're motivated by two things. Number one, a 148 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 4: lust for power, and Democrats are united in a lust 149 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 4: for power. They are willing to do just about anything 150 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: to stay in power. They were perfectly willing to be 151 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 4: behind a president who is all but comatose. They knew that, 152 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 4: everybody knew that, and yet it kept them in power. 153 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 4: So it was just fine with them to have a 154 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 4: commander in chief who was not capable of defending this nation. 155 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: By the way, it's also why they're willing to embrace 156 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 4: policies like open borders and the invasion of this country 157 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 4: because they look at eleven and a half million million 158 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 4: illegal immigrants as future Democrat voters, and so power justifies everything. 159 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 4: And this is a Democrat party that they follow orders. 160 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 4: They they are collectivists, they are authoritarians, so they all 161 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 4: follow orders. So everyone is on team Kamala. By the way, 162 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 4: I don't think you're going to hear much complaining, even 163 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 4: from the Biden circles about him being forced out, because 164 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 4: when they crack the whip, this is a party that 165 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 4: everybody gets on board, even Joe Biden after he's been 166 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 4: put out to pasture. But secondly, what is going to 167 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 4: motivate Democrats in this election hatred for Donald J. 168 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 3: Trump. 169 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 4: It's why the word Trump is the most frequent word 170 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: uttered at the convention, because that's what they're all unified. 171 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 4: They might disagree on other things, but they all agree 172 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 4: we hate Trump. Those two things are going to motivate 173 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,079 Speaker 4: a lot of Democrats, and we got to make sure 174 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 4: that the American people are focused on the issues, focused 175 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: on the policy, focused on the substance, focused on the 176 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 4: utter failures of Kamala Harris and Joe biden I's policies 177 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 4: and how they've hurt the American people. 178 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 3: If we can focus on the issues, we win. 179 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, 180 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast 181 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two. You know, 182 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 2: when you have a convention, it's always about play the hits, right, 183 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 2: And they're gonna have a lot of people that come 184 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 2: in and a lot of people that quote unquote play 185 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 2: the hits. It's gonna be Barack Obama, it's gonna be 186 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 2: Michelle Obama, it's going to be every famous person that 187 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 2: they want to throw up there. It's going to be 188 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 2: the Clintons. They're gonna clearly, I think play the hits. 189 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: Is that a smart strategy, even if it kind of 190 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: takes her off stage a little bit. 191 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: Is that actually a better idea because. 192 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: Then it's not all about her, it's more about the 193 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: kumbaiism of the Democrats. 194 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 195 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: Look, they don't want to actually talk about Joe Biden's record, 196 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 4: and so playing the hits, playing Barack, playing Michelle. You 197 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 4: know they're going to have Bill Clinton and have some 198 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 4: nostalgia that they're going to talk about, Hey, things were 199 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 4: great when we were in charge. Bizarrely enough, they're trying 200 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 4: to run as the change campaign despite the fact that 201 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 4: the Democrats are the incumbent party. What is so bizarre, 202 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 4: But every time Kamala proposes something is okay, if she 203 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 4: could magically lower prices in grocery stores, why isn't she 204 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 4: doing so right now? Like she's in office, Like there's 205 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: nothing preventing her. If there is this magic wand is 206 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 4: she just mean does she just like high grocery prices? No, 207 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: it's complete nonsense. But no one in the press is asking, 208 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 4: wait a second, you are in office. You don't get 209 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 4: to say, here's my great idea. You know, we're watching 210 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: her emulate Trump's policies, things like copying no taxes on tips. 211 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 3: Well, she's been. 212 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 4: In office for four years, Why haven't they proposed it? 213 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 4: I filed legislation to do that. Where's the White House? 214 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 4: That that they are simply trying to ignore the fact 215 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 4: that they are the incumbent administration. You're you're going to 216 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 4: see a lot of that. There's there's something else that 217 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 4: I think it's important for us to point out. We've 218 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 4: talked a lot about how Democrats engage in Freudian projection. 219 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 4: I think Sigmund freud is is is rolling over in 220 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:34,839 Speaker 4: his grave that every single thing the Democrats accuse their 221 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 4: opponents of doing, every single thing, is in fact what 222 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 4: the Democrats are doing. Now, Ben, what was the adjective 223 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,319 Speaker 4: that that Tim Waltz famously used for Republicans, especially jd 224 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 4: Vance weird, weird and by the way, like joy he 225 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 4: said weird, And suddenly every every corporate meet outlet weird, weird, weird, weird, 226 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 4: We're weird, weird, We're weird.

Doug Enhoff today said something that was 229 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 4: weird referring to Harrison Waltter. 230 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: You were sitting behind him. 231 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: Listen, and again, we really bonded. 232 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 5: You saw me get up on that stage and we 233 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 5: just hugged it out. A few of my friends texted me, 234 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 5: It's like, what's the deal. Like, I've known you for 235 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 5: twenty or thirty years, You've never hugged me like that. Well, 236 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 5: you've never been a vice presidential candidate before on stage. 237 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 2: By the way, that's weird. That is just something weird 238 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 2: to say. If you want to talk weird. And that's 239 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: the Harris campaign. 240 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: Okay, and I got that beat. I'm going to give 241 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 4: you something really bizarre.

Planned parenthooded 247 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 4: Great Rivers, which operates in parts of Missouri and Illinois, 248 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 4: will park its mobile health clinic near the DNC on 249 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: October nineteenth and August nineteenth and August twentieth. According to 250 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 4: The New York Times, medication abortions are reportedly available on 251 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: both days, with vasectoms exclusively being offered on Monday.

You go to Chicago, what for you 257 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 4: want a free vasectomy and free abortion? 258 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 3: Like these people are zealots. 259 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not just weird, it's also, I would argue, 260 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 2: creepy on a whole other level, because they're actually celebrating 261 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: the fact that you can come to the Democratic convintion 262 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 2: with child and leave without a child. And that is 263 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: now the Democratic Party Planned Parenthood actually put it out. 264 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 2: Not only are they offering free abortions and the sectomies 265 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: of the DNC, but they said they've like maxed out 266 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 2: of appointments apparently for the vaseectomies, and they said we've 267 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: got unlimited however, medical abortions, medication abortion. So just keep 268 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 2: on coming, ladies with your babies. The DNC come with 269 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 2: a child and leave without one. That's sick, all right, 270 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 2: all right, it is certainly sick. And you think about 271 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: how far the Democrat Party has come. Bill Clinton stood 272 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: up in the State of the Union and he said, 273 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: as a Democrat, he wanted abortion to be safe, legal, 274 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 2: and rare. There was a time when Democrats would acknowledge 275 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: that abortion was the taking of a life, and they 276 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: defended it. But but, but but they didn't celebrate it. 277 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 2: Now this Democrat Party is all about abortion all the time. 278 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's a reason to dance in the streets. 279 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: That is just how extreme the Democrat Party has gone. 280 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 2: But but I am going to say something. I'm gonna 281 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: go out on a limb. There's actually a portion of 282 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: this I support. 283 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 4: I support every delegate at the DNC getting of a sectomy. 284 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 4: I think that I think the world will be better 285 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 4: off if these people don't reproduce. Now, look, half of 286 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: them are not actually gonna have conjugal relations with someone 287 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 4: of the opposite sex, and so they probably won't reproduce anyway. 288 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 4: But I'm for let's just let's just stop it now. 289 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:52,119 Speaker 4: I'm really grateful. I would encourage you're a bad Democrat 290 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: delegate if you don't get snipped center. 291 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: Let me ask you two final questions. 292 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 2: One what do you expect from the PEE candidate this week? 293 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 2: Is that part of the campaign kind of gonna disappear? 294 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: I mean, we saw the excitement of the DNC and 295 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: all the Democrats had over at walls. 296 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: Now is he just kind of okay? Next? Number one? 297 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 2: Will that be an issue? And number two Harris is speech? 298 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: How important is this speech to her future? 299 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 3: Well? 300 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 4: Look, I think Tim Waltz. Tim Waltz will have a 301 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 4: major primetime speech and they're gonna do a lot to 302 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 4: tell the narrative of him as nice old grandpa, your 303 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 4: favorite teacher. 304 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 3: They're gonna call him coach a lot. 305 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 4: He's gonna be coach, coach, coach, and it's gonna be 306 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 4: I mean, think mister Hollins opus. It is gonna be 307 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 4: telling the narrative of a nice, you know, genial, affable 308 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 4: teacher who just mentored young people and he coached them 309 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 4: on the football team and and he's just They're gonna 310 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 4: do everything they can to make it sunshine and light 311 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 4: and joy. They will not, I predict, have him play 312 00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 4: the typical role of attack dog that VP candidates often do. 313 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 4: They'll do a little bit of that, and it'll mostly 314 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 4: be attacking Trump and Trump and and Dvance. I think 315 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 4: you'll get some of He'll use his line that they're 316 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 4: weird because that kind of made his name. But I 317 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 4: think they will try to just pitch him as utterly harmless, 318 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 4: and they will talk nothing about the radical policies. You 319 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 4: will not hear about the snitch line he's set up 320 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 4: to report on your neighbors if they violated his draconian 321 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: stay at home order. You will not hear about his 322 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 4: order to put tampons in the boy's bathroom at school 323 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 4: because you know, boys really do need tampons. You won't 324 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 4: hear any of that. You will not hear when they 325 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 4: tell his life about the romantic honeymoon he enjoyed in 326 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 4: communist China. None of those extreme positions, none of the 327 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: weird aspects of his life will be highlighted. As for 328 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 4: her speech, Look, this speech is a big deal, and 329 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 4: I think she will give a good speech. I think 330 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 4: Republicans that are all eger o. She's going to fall 331 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 4: on her face. Listen at the convention. She's done a 332 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 4: pretty good job at at the rally. She reads from 333 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 4: the teleprompter just fine, and they'll write her a good speech. 334 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 4: They've got some amazing storytellers in the Democrat Party, and 335 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 4: it is going to be all None of it is 336 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 4: going to take responsibility for the disastrous and failed record 337 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 4: of the last four years. But it is all going 338 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 4: to be hope and change and joy. And you know, 339 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,959 Speaker 4: I think she will deliver it just fine. She's at 340 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 4: much much greater risk when she's ad libbing, when she's 341 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 4: answering questions and being pressed. That will not happened this week, 342 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: So she'll read the speech just fine as before. 343 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 2: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation 344 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: on this topic, you can go back and down the 345 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,720 Speaker 2: podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing. 346 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 2: I want to get back to the big story number 347 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 2: three of the week you may have missed. It's interesting 348 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 2: that you said they need to lay at these facts 349 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 2: and the rapid response from the Trump campaign. I think 350 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 2: did a pretty damn good job during the Democratic Convention 351 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 2: laying some of this out, because right at the end 352 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 2: of her speech, they sent out a picture with Kamala 353 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: Harris next to Joe Biden and it said Biden Harris accomplishments, 354 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 2: and here it was the bullet points allowed fifteen million 355 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: unveted legals into the country, historic inflation crisis, record high 356 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 2: gas prices in all fifty states, record high consumer debt, 357 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 2: released terrorists into the country, Ukraine, Russia War, Israel, Humaswar disaster, 358 00:20:55,560 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 2: to withdrawal from Afghanistan, violent crime, skyrocketing, right to jail, 359 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 2: political rival in the name of democracy, lied to the 360 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 2: American public about Joe's decline, and I think we should 361 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 2: talk about that. In a second, center declared war on 362 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 2: American energy. Record low test scores in this country right 363 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: now for Kate through twelve students. And she was also 364 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,720 Speaker 2: the most unpopular vice president in US history. Now there's 365 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 2: a trust factor here, and I'm not so sure that 366 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 2: the Trump campaign has done a good enough job of 367 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: talking about this issue, and I think they should actually 368 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 2: talk about it more, especially at the debate coming up. 369 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 2: Is how can we trust you when you clearly covered 370 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 2: up the cognitive decline of the president of the United 371 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 2: States of America. I think that would resonate with American voters. 372 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 2: Can I trust a woman that clearly lied to me 373 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:52,119 Speaker 2: for three years? 374 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess I don't see it the same way 375 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 4: you do. I think most voters are cynical to politicians 376 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 4: across the board think they think all politicians are liars, 377 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 4: and so did Kamala Harris lie to the American people 378 00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: for four years? Absolutely? Did she cover up Joe Biden's 379 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 4: mental decline? Absolutely, I'm not sure that changes a vote, though. 380 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 4: I think that's a little bit baked into the cake. 381 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 4: What I would like to see the conversation on. I 382 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 4: think every election turns on the most basic question, are 383 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 4: you better off. 384 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 3: Than you were four years ago? 385 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: A man? 386 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 4: And when the Trump campaign gets distracted by issues that 387 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 4: are not about how the American people's lives are worse 388 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 4: off today than they were when Trump was president. If 389 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 4: the campaign gets distracted, it's not making progress. I think 390 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 4: it needs to focus every day. And by the way, 391 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 4: look that set of bullet points that the campaign put 392 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 4: out last night. That was a good set of bullet points. 393 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 4: That needs to be very much what Donald Trump is 394 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 4: saying on the stump, what he's saying and interviews, what 395 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 4: their ads are saying. And one of the points in 396 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 4: there that has not gotten enough attention is the plummeting 397 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 4: test scores for kids, and especially African American kids and 398 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 4: Hispanic kids. 399 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 3: And you know, it was striking tonight at the convention. 400 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 4: Earlier in the convention, before Kamala spoke, they had Randy Weiningarten, 401 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 4: the leader of one of the big teachers unions, who 402 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 4: advocated for shutting down schools for over a year. Tens 403 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 4: of millions of school kids had their schools shut down 404 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,239 Speaker 4: for over a year because of COVID. Kamala was a 405 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 4: vocal and vigorous advocate of that, and it will go 406 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 4: down I believe in history as one of the most 407 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 4: catastrophic policies ever implemented that hurt tens of millions of 408 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,240 Speaker 4: children across this country. I think we need to make 409 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 4: that case that kids have been hurt by her radical policies. 410 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 4: And you overlay that by her radical immigration policies that 411 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: are releasing violent criminals that are threatening kids. You overlay 412 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 4: that with their radical policies supporting defunding the police that 413 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 4: are releasing violent criminals that are threatening our kids. Look, 414 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 4: much of this election is going to come down to 415 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 4: suburban voters and suburban women who historically have voted Republican 416 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 4: and in recent years have moved left. And suburban women 417 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 4: in recent elections have not been fans of Trump personally 418 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 4: of his style. However, you look at the number one 419 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 4: issue with suburban women. It is illegal immigration and it 420 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 4: is crime. Those two together and it goes fundamentally to 421 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 4: the safety of their families, the safety of their kids. 422 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: And I think litigating that case, making the case that 423 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris has endangered your family and your children, is 424 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 4: really important. I also mention on the disconnected from reality. 425 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 4: You know, Kamala went through this whole litany that Trump 426 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 4: is going to lock up his opponents and wage war 427 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 4: on you and send American troops against the American people, 428 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 4: and it really was a dystopian Mad Max picture of 429 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 4: Trump as a deranged dictator. And listen, that's the kind 430 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 4: of rhetoric that sells well with left wing Democrats, but 431 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 4: it ignores the fact that we had four years with 432 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: Donald Trump as president. He didn't do any of that. 433 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,199 Speaker 4: For that matter, the party that has done much of 434 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 4: that has been Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that have 435 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,400 Speaker 4: used the Department of Justice and the FBI to attack 436 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 4: their political opponents over and over and over again, especially 437 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 4: Donald Trump, but also pro life activists, also individual conservatives 438 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 4: engaged in free speech. That they've engaged in the most 439 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 4: massive effort of censorship in bed with big tech and 440 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,920 Speaker 4: making that case that, look, we know what a Trump 441 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 4: presidency is like, We've been through it, and in almost 442 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:15,199 Speaker 4: every circumstance, the lives of Americans were better when Trump 443 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 4: was president than they are now. That contrast, every day 444 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: between now an election day needs to be front. 445 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 2: And center center. I got two questions I want to 446 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: ask you. One of them goes back to are the 447 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 2: American people dumb enough? Or are they going to be 448 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: offended by one of the things that Kamala Harris said. 449 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: She said she accepted. 450 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:39,360 Speaker 2: The Democrats nomination on behalf of the people. No one 451 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: voted for this woman, No one. 452 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 6: Be clear. My entire career, I've only had one client, 453 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 6: the people, and so on. 454 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 3: Behalf of the people. 455 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 2: On. 456 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 6: Behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender, or 457 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 6: the language of grandmother speaks. 458 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: On. 459 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 6: Behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set 460 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 6: out on their own unlikely journey. 461 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 4: On. 462 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,280 Speaker 6: Behalf of Americans, like the people I grew up with, 463 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 6: people who work hard, chase their dreams, and look out 464 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 6: for one another. On. Behalf of everyone whose story could 465 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 6: only be written in the greatest nation on Earth. I 466 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 6: accept your nomination to be president in the United States. 467 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: Senator. 468 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 2: Great story, great words, great speech writing, thoes this one problem, 469 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 2: no one voted for her. 470 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 4: You know, I got to say again, I don't think 471 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,960 Speaker 4: that's an issue that actually is going to move a 472 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 4: single vote today. 473 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 3: So the people that. 474 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 4: Would be mad that no one voted for are the 475 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 4: Democrats who voted for Joe Biden and other than Joseph 476 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 4: Robinette Biden Jr. Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden. I don't 477 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 4: know that there is a fourth Democrat in America that 478 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 4: is mad right now. Every one of them is thrilled 479 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 4: and relieved that they don't have what they perceived as 480 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 4: the millstone around their neck that was Joe Biden bringing 481 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 4: them to a certain loss, and they all believe they 482 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 4: now have a real chance at victory in November. So 483 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 4: there's not a single voter on the Democrats side of 484 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 4: the aisle who is angry that they are disenfranchised, and 485 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 4: I think anybody else, frankly doesn't care. So that riff, 486 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 4: To be honest, I thought that riff was pretty effective. 487 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 4: I thought it was well written. She did a good 488 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 4: job of leaning into to her record as Attorney general. 489 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 4: You notice, by the way, there was essentially not a 490 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:06,720 Speaker 4: word about her time as senator. I served with her 491 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 4: in the US Senate for man. 492 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: I mean, there was nothing there was I was going 493 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: to ask you about that. 494 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 4: She was the most liberal senator in the entire US Senate. 495 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 4: She voted to the left of Bernie Sanders and to 496 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 4: the left of Elizabeth Warren. That is hard to do. 497 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 4: I served with Bernie and Elizabeth. They're both really whacked 498 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 4: out on the far left, and Kamala was further left. 499 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 4: Remember Kamala as a senator. In one hearing, she compared 500 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: ice are our immigration agents with to the KKK, which 501 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 4: was grotesque and offensive, and all of that she just erased. Instead, 502 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 4: she leaned into her time and by the way, she 503 00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 4: she largely erased her time as DA as well, because 504 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 4: her time as DA was a train wreck. She basically 505 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 4: leaned into her time as Attorney general. And I got 506 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 4: to tell you, state attorneys general, it is a great 507 00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 4: job because a state ag le you bring cases that 508 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,320 Speaker 4: are really politically popular that you could lean in on. 509 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 4: So she could say I fought on behalf of the elderly, 510 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 4: on behalf of veterans. Anyone who's been an AG could 511 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 4: give that same litany, but it's a pretty effective litany 512 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 4: and saying you know, she described going to court and saying, 513 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris for the people. I got to say, having 514 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 4: spent five and a half years as Solicitor General of Texas, 515 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 4: any time I was in court and and and and 516 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 4: and say ted Cruz for the state of Texas. Look, 517 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 4: that would send send a chill down your spine. I 518 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 4: understood what she was saying when she was saying that, 519 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 4: and I thought rhetorically that was effective. Now the response 520 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,400 Speaker 4: goes back to what we said before. The response is, well, 521 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 4: what have her policies done for the people? And they 522 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 4: have hurt the people over and over and over again. 523 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 4: Her record as Senator and her record as as Vice 524 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 4: President has been Kamala harre Us for the criminals, Kamala 525 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 4: Harris for the drug cartels, Kamala Harris for the human traffickers, 526 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 4: Kamala Harris for the Ayatola, Kamala Harris for Hamas and Hesbela. 527 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,880 Speaker 4: Because the money she sent to the Ayatola went to 528 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 4: Amas and Hesbela. Kamala Harris for communist China. There was 529 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 4: virtually not a word about China. And this entire speech 530 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 4: because this administration's been in bed with China from day one. 531 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 4: Her record has consistently been siding with everybody except the 532 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:36,200 Speaker 4: American people. But in order for that point to be made, 533 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 4: its incumbent on the Trump campaign to make that point 534 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 4: because the media, sure as heck isn't as always. 535 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to Verdict with Center Ted Cruz 536 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,800 Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal with my podcast, 537 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,600 Speaker 2: and you can listen to my podcast every other day 538 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 2: you're not listening to Verdict or each day when you 539 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 2: listen to Verdict.
