Speaker 1: to have at home. I've been telling you that they're
Speaker 1: commies for a long time now. I don't mean the
Speaker 1: people that run Cuba, that's obvious. I mean the BLM
Speaker 1: organizers Black Lives Matter. It's a Marxist communist organization. It
Speaker 1: seeks to divide us. It seeks to highlight, exaggerate, and
Speaker 1: exacerbate that which divides us from each other. And it's
Speaker 1: just too much. Right. We see this going on and
Speaker 1: it is driving people like me up the wall. I'm
Speaker 1: just why, why does corporate America support BLM. Why do
Speaker 1: all these different democrats not just bend the need to,
Speaker 1: but but celebrate BLM when their foundational philosophy is not
Speaker 1: of making America a fantastic place. Dare I say making
Speaker 1: America great? It's that they want to tear this place apart,
Speaker 1: replace our foundations with something else, and destroy American unity
Speaker 1: in the process. Black Lives Matter put out this statement
Speaker 1: about the Cuba situation, So if you want to know
Speaker 1: where their ideological sympathies really lie, you got to see this.
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter condemns the US federal government's inhumane treatment
Speaker 1: of Cubans and urges it to immediately lift the economic embargo.
Speaker 1: This cruel and inhumane policy, instituted with the explicit intention
Speaker 1: of destabilizing the country and undermining Cuban's right to choose
Speaker 1: their own government, is at the heart of Cuba's current crisis.
Speaker 1: Since nineteen sixty two, the United States has forced pain
Speaker 1: and suffering on the people of Cuba by cutting off food, medicine,
Speaker 1: and supplies, costing the tiny island nation and estimated one
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty billion dollars. Without that money, it is
Speaker 1: harder for Cuba to acquire medical equipment, needer to develop
Speaker 1: its own COVID nineteen vaccines, and equipment for food production Cuba.
Speaker 1: It keeps going on and on and on. Cuba has
Speaker 1: historically demonstrated solidarity with oppressed peoples. Now we look to
Speaker 1: President Biden to end the embargo, something up Barack Obama
Speaker 1: called for in twenty sixteen. The embargo is a blatant
Speaker 1: human rights violation must come to an end. The Cuban
Speaker 1: government is shooting, arresting, bludgeoning people in the street for protesting,
Speaker 1: and Black Lives Matter is putting out a statement blaming
Speaker 1: the United States government for the problems of Cuba. I mean,
Speaker 1: at some point you just have to understand that you're
Speaker 1: dealing with people who have no principles, no common sense,
Speaker 1: and no decency. And that's certainly the case with the
Speaker 1: bl position on Cuba. And this is appalling. People should
Speaker 1: be outraged that any organization would put something like this
Speaker 1: out there. But this is what I've been saying along.
Speaker 1: We have a Marxist uprising within the Democrat Party that's
Speaker 1: been going on for a long time. The Marxists are ascended,
Speaker 1: true Marxists, and the suffering of the Cuban people is
Speaker 1: just simply not something that they are are overly, shall
Speaker 1: we say, concerned about it. I don't think they're really
Speaker 1: concerned at all. I don't think it really matters to them.
Speaker 1: And I'm just I am appalled, appalled that so many
Speaker 1: American institutions went along with this, went along with BLM
Speaker 1: and supported it. But this is this is where we are.
Speaker 1: Another thing that's coming to mind right now is just
Speaker 1: how the speech that was given by Biden early in
Speaker 1: this week was completely off the wall crazy. And I'm
Speaker 1: going to tie this all together with the pandemic in
Speaker 1: a second. But here's Senator Mitch McConnell play one. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: the President of the United States delivered a speech that
Speaker 1: was set in an alternate universe. He called these mainstream
Speaker 1: state laws, these modest integrity measures that are wildly popular
Speaker 1: with Americans. Quote now listen to this the single the
Speaker 1: most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War. Really,
Speaker 1: this is our new president who promised the Lord the temperature,
Speaker 1: bring America back together and rebuild a civil society where
Speaker 1: we can dialogue its fellow citizens. That's the person who's
Speaker 1: now yelling that mainstream state laws are more dangerous than
Speaker 1: two world wars, more dangerous than poll test than bull
Speaker 1: Connor and actual Jim Crow segregation, and somehow analogous to
Speaker 1: the Civil War. That's what the President of the United
Speaker 1: States said yesterday. What utter nonsense. It would be life
Speaker 1: out loud funny if it wasn't so completely and totally irresponsible.
Speaker 1: It was absolute bullcrap. I mean, at a crazy level,
Speaker 1: the Biden's speech. But this is how I think it
Speaker 1: ties in at some level to the pandemic, And this
Speaker 1: is how I think it's we need to understand what
Speaker 1: we're really dealing with the with these democrats. This pandemic
Speaker 1: has shown us that there are a lot of Democrats
Speaker 1: who are are deeply mentally unstable, and over the course
Speaker 1: of the four years of the Trump presidency, they were
Speaker 1: conditioned to believe in whatever great enemy the Democrat apparatus
Speaker 1: tells them they have. So that was something that they
Speaker 1: were being told, right that it was Donald Trump Russia collusion.
Speaker 1: And so now they have this need to believe. But
Speaker 1: there is an existential and imminent threat and the only
Speaker 1: way to combat it is to do exactly what their
Speaker 1: Democrat overlords tell them. And that's where this Jim Crow
Speaker 1: two point zero worst challenged since the Civil War comes in.
Speaker 1: And also after COVID, right, people have gotten so riddled
Speaker 1: with anxiety because they believe the Democrat narrative, which wasn't
Speaker 1: that the COVID, Remember, was not the primary threat for
Speaker 1: Democrats in twenty twenty. Trump's handling of COVID was the
Speaker 1: primary threat as far as Democrats were concerned in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: And so now the people who are really at some
Speaker 1: level just psychologically and emotionally broken, and I mean millions
Speaker 1: and millions of them, they're Democrats and they need to
Speaker 1: be told what the next great enemy is. It's not
Speaker 1: it's not some foreign external enemy. It's not people that
Speaker 1: want to destroy the United States, take us over, enslavist,
Speaker 1: none of that. Now. The real enemy, of course, comes
Speaker 1: from within. Democrats don't actually have external enemies. External enemies
Speaker 1: are always just an opportunity for an alliance against Republicans.
Speaker 1: So every external enemy to the United States, Russia, China, Iran,
Speaker 1: you name it is an opportunity. It's an opportunity to
Speaker 1: pick up an ally to bludgeon the primary adversary of
Speaker 1: the leftist Marxist in America, the right Conservatives, people like
Speaker 1: you and me. And that's how you end up having
Speaker 1: joy read over at MSNBC. Who is just leading the
Speaker 1: charge on the most crazy stuff you can possibly say
Speaker 1: about the GOP play for what is happening to the
Speaker 1: Republican Party? Our country, our democracy is currently under siege
Speaker 1: by one of our two major political parties, one controlled
Speaker 1: by a twice impeached, one term president who's more Jim
Speaker 1: Jones than George Washington, A party that thinks so Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's rabbit hole of conspiracy theories, white grievance, and an
Speaker 1: unquenchable first for absolute power embraces causes that were once
Speaker 1: viewed as fringe things like abortion, bounty hunting, now the
Speaker 1: law in Texas banning books, really any idea that doesn't
Speaker 1: render every single white American in history going all the
Speaker 1: way back to sixteen nineteen and right up to today
Speaker 1: as innocent and benevolent, even as a noose literally hung
Speaker 1: outside the US capital just six months ago. It's a
Speaker 1: party that's committed to turning it up. I mean, does
Speaker 1: anyone try to ban books that say that, that say
Speaker 1: anything about bad about any white person throughout history? This
Speaker 1: is this is idiocy. But she's got about a million
Speaker 1: people watching that show, maybe more. They believe it. They
Speaker 1: think it's true. They think that everybody who doesn't buy
Speaker 1: into that is a bad person. They think that anybody
Speaker 1: who's not on board for this is a major threat
Speaker 1: to the Republic. And they think in those terms too.
Speaker 1: They think in terms of threat. You know what the
Speaker 1: real threat is these days, folks? She said, Oh, the
Speaker 1: country's under siege. Really, we're under siege from Republicans. Are
Speaker 1: what have we been doing lately? I mean, not enough
Speaker 1: if you ask me, But what have we been doing? No?
Speaker 1: The real threat we're under right now, if we're looking
Speaker 1: at something that's serious, is well other than a Marxist
Speaker 1: authoritarian takeover of our entire society and government by the
Speaker 1: lunatics that are calling themselves democrats for now. Other than that,
Speaker 1: you have inflation, which is a very serious concern. And
Speaker 1: I know the word inflation. It sounds like what you
Speaker 1: do for your bicycle tire, right, It's just not that,
Speaker 1: it's not visceral, it's not scary. Inflation is so destructive
Speaker 1: to the economy. Inflation steals your peace of mind, steals
Speaker 1: your wages, steals your ability to provide for yourself and
Speaker 1: your family comfortably. And here's what the FED share Jerome
Speaker 1: Powell was saying about it, play three. First of all,
Speaker 1: you're right, the incoming inflation data have been higher than
Speaker 1: expected and hoped for, but they're actually still consistent with
Speaker 1: with what we've been talking about. That the very high
Speaker 1: inflation readings are coming from a small group of goods
Speaker 1: and services that are directly tied to the reopening of
Speaker 1: the economy. It's it's new cars, used cars, rental cars,
Speaker 1: hotel rooms, you know, airplane tickets, things that we understand.
Speaker 1: How connection with all respect Jam Powell, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's it's housing, it's appliances, it's food prices, it's electricity,
Speaker 1: it's gas. Tell me to what extent is the Federals
Speaker 1: are willing to see consumer prices increased before intervention is necessary.
Speaker 1: We are monitoring the situation very carefully, and we are
Speaker 1: committed to price stability. And if we if we were
Speaker 1: to see that inflation were remaining high and remaining materially
Speaker 1: higher above our target for a period of time, and
Speaker 1: that it was threatening to uproot inflation expectations and create
Speaker 1: a risk of a longer period of inflation, and we
Speaker 1: would absolutely change our policy as appropriate. Yeah, they're watching it,
Speaker 1: nothing to worry about, they're watching it. Sure. Yeah, the
Speaker 1: when when you're talking about just the reopened things and
Speaker 1: its gas, food shelter, that's pretty important. Inflation, it's pretty important,
Speaker 1: would you know, lumber for building homes. This is what
Speaker 1: happens when you have a government apparatus that thinks that
Speaker 1: they can it can spend whatever wants to spend. And
Speaker 1: that is the belief. Even even crazy Bernie Sanders is
Speaker 1: running around saying that inflation is a problem. But his
Speaker 1: answer to inflation the tax you up the wazoo play eleven. Well,
Speaker 1: I am concerned about inflation. Among many other things. As
Speaker 1: I think you know, this bill, this three and a
Speaker 1: half trillion and then there's another six hundred billion in
Speaker 1: a so called bipartisan infrastructure bill, will pay for itself.
Speaker 1: It'll be paid for in a variety of ways, but
Speaker 1: significantly by higher taxes on the wealthy and large corporations.
Speaker 1: So that should not add to the inflation concerns. We're
Speaker 1: just going to tax them a lot. We're going to
Speaker 1: take all the taxes, and it's not going to be
Speaker 1: a problem for the working class. The oligarchs will pay
Speaker 1: for it. This is what you're told. It's not true,
Speaker 1: but who cares. You know what else you're told that
Speaker 1: making a few percent a year with a financial advisor
Speaker 1: who's also taken a cut on top of that is
Speaker 1: necessary if you want to make any money the markets.
Speaker 1: That's just not true. All you need is carnivore trading, okay,
Speaker 1: Because everyday folks like you are crushing it there. They
Speaker 1: call them carnivores. They're getting after it even when the
Speaker 1: market's tough. Carnivore trading allows you to make great returns.
Speaker 1: It's an anonymous team of elite strategists. Their legends among
Speaker 1: Wall Street heavy hitters, and they've gone rogue for the
Speaker 1: first time. They're inviting everyday folks just like you and

Speaker 1: Joining us now is Senator Marcia Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator,
Speaker 1: great to have you back. I am delighted to join you.
Speaker 1: Thank you. What should we be doing right now and
Speaker 1: what should the administration, notably be doing about the situation
Speaker 1: unfolding in Cuba. Well, first of all, the American people
Speaker 1: need to know and the administration needs to come out
Speaker 1: and say Look, this is a fight for freedom. These
Speaker 1: are people that have been under a dictator for sixty
Speaker 1: two years and they have no food, no water, no electricity,
Speaker 1: no jobs, and they want their freedom. And we're going
Speaker 1: to stand with the people of Cuba, and by the way,
Speaker 1: to the Cuban president, we're going to continue sanctions. We're
Speaker 1: going to sanction bad actors, and if you start firing
Speaker 1: shots into these crowds, all options will be on the table.
Speaker 1: Are you surprised at the Biden administrations shall we say,
Speaker 1: lack of decisiveness? I mean, is there any pressure you
Speaker 1: think on this White House that may get them to
Speaker 1: move with a little more clarity. I talked to Tennesseeans
Speaker 1: every day, but they are so frustrated with this administration.
Speaker 1: They thought they were going to have somebody who was
Speaker 1: a moderate, who was going to stand up to bad
Speaker 1: actors around the globe, and what they have seen is
Speaker 1: someone who seems to enjoy putting in place issues and
Speaker 1: policies that divide, that diminish our freedoms. And there's a
Speaker 1: lot of buyers remorse out there. So therefore, I am
Speaker 1: not surprised that they have been so hesitant. You know,
Speaker 1: look at their policies. They've had a choice time and
Speaker 1: again to either say America first or America last. And
Speaker 1: what they do is they make decisions that put America last.
Speaker 1: But look at it in relation to the Chinese Communist Party,
Speaker 1: they've made decisions about not finding out about the origins
Speaker 1: of COVID nineteen, not holding US companies to account that
Speaker 1: are doing business in China, companies like Nike and Apple
Speaker 1: and the NBA. They have had the opportunity to be
Speaker 1: firm against Iran, but instead what are they doing. They're saying, well,
Speaker 1: let's talk about maybe going back into the Iran nuclear deal.
Speaker 1: And when it comes to Cuba, they are not saying
Speaker 1: we are against the Cuban Communist Party and this regime
Speaker 1: and they need to come out and do that. We're
Speaker 1: speaking of Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Senator, I wanted
Speaker 1: to get you to help help everyone understand here what's
Speaker 1: going on with this budget bill. The Democrats want to
Speaker 1: push through four point one trillion in new spending is
Speaker 1: the figure that we are seeing. What is what's going
Speaker 1: on here? I mean, there's I have a few questions
Speaker 1: to ask you about this, But first off, will they
Speaker 1: be able with only Democrat votes, they can get this through.
Speaker 1: Is that correct. Yes, they're going to try to push
Speaker 1: this three and a half trillion dollars of the new
Speaker 1: unpaid for spending through. Now they're trying to say, well,
Speaker 1: a lot of it has to do with infrastructure, but
Speaker 1: they're in mind the president and a bipartisan group had
Speaker 1: decided to take do infrastructure separately, and then this would
Speaker 1: be three and a half trillion dollars in new spending
Speaker 1: on top of all of this, and we've got about
Speaker 1: seven hundred billion dollars left over in COVID money that
Speaker 1: has not been reappropriated, that has not been utilized, that
Speaker 1: could be utilized, but oh no, they don't want to
Speaker 1: do that. They want to run up the debt and
Speaker 1: then put future generations in servitude to the federal government
Speaker 1: to pay off this debt. So what would it mean
Speaker 1: for them to use reconciliation. I mean, that's the part
Speaker 1: of this I think the public we hear, okay, there's
Speaker 1: there's what can be blocked with the filibuster, but a
Speaker 1: budgetary measure can't be blocked by the filibuster, and then
Speaker 1: a budgetary measure can have reconciliation I mean, how how
Speaker 1: much can they just ram this through without Republicans being
Speaker 1: able to stop. Well, here's where the dividing line is.
Speaker 1: They cannot put new federal law in place through a
Speaker 1: budget reconciliation component. So that is why you're seeing some
Speaker 1: things have to stand alone and get a vote. When
Speaker 1: it comes to appropriating money to pay for programs that
Speaker 1: are already on the books, then of course they can
Speaker 1: do that through budget reconciliation. What we're trying to do
Speaker 1: is to remind all hardworking taxpayers out there, you need
Speaker 1: to be weighing in with your members of the House
Speaker 1: and Senate. You need to let them know this is
Speaker 1: not okay and that you are not going to be
Speaker 1: supportive of this. They need to hear from you because
Speaker 1: we've got twenty twenty two midterms coming up, and they
Speaker 1: are all looking over their shoulder to see who is
Speaker 1: paid attention. What's in I know it's I'm sure with
Speaker 1: three point five trillion, then an additional infrastructure spending. Right,
Speaker 1: that's the way people are reporting on it. What are
Speaker 1: some of the key things, Senator Blackburn that are in
Speaker 1: this that people should because I see things about a
Speaker 1: lot of climate change, green new deal kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we where's this money supposed to go? Yeah,
Speaker 1: and here's the thing. They backed out anything to do
Speaker 1: with roads, bridges, highways, railways, runways, and broadband. All of
Speaker 1: that would be over in the one point to trillion
Speaker 1: dollars by partisan bill. And I think you've got about
Speaker 1: eight Republicans and two or three Democrats that are for
Speaker 1: that measure working on that that measure. So that's one
Speaker 1: point two trillion. This three point five trillion that they
Speaker 1: are saying would to infrastructure. You're exactly right. It's money
Speaker 1: for the Green New Deal, it is money to grow
Speaker 1: the unions, it is money for green energy, it is
Speaker 1: money for childcare and for elder care. They're now calling
Speaker 1: all of that infrastructure. But it is not what you
Speaker 1: think of as roads, bridges, highways, railways, waterways, runways, and
Speaker 1: broad bands. What would a reasonable I mean to your mind,
Speaker 1: and taking into account that we're at over twenty eight
Speaker 1: trillion dollars in debt and their concerns about inflation, and
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, this is really taking money and making
Speaker 1: it so that future generations of Americans will have to
Speaker 1: deal with the financial financial burden here. But what what
Speaker 1: is the what would a reasonable bill look like. A
Speaker 1: reasonable would be what we passed out of the Commerce, Science,
Speaker 1: and Transportation Committee, which was surface transportation, and it was
Speaker 1: about three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Now, that is
Speaker 1: addressing the needs that people tell us they want to see.
Speaker 1: Address three hundred and fifty billion versus three point five trillion.
Speaker 1: There's definitely a definitely a gap there, Senator Blackburn, We're
Speaker 1: telling everybody, call in, tell your congressman, tell your senator.
Speaker 1: This is too much, too crazy. Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee,
Speaker 1: always appreciate you stopping by with us. Thank you so much.
Speaker 1: Thank you. More political insights coming up here from our
Speaker 1: friend mister Ryan Gerdusky. He is the author of They're
Speaker 1: Not Listening How the Elites created a National Populist Revolution,
Speaker 1: and he is a political consultant man who knows some
Speaker 1: things about some stuff. Ryan, great to have you, Thanks
Speaker 1: for having me. Okay, so we just had Senator Marsha
Speaker 1: Blackbird on today talking about the budget bill and what
Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to do here. I mean, they Republicans said, Okay, infrastructure,
Speaker 1: it's been three hundred and fifty billion dollars on infrastructure,
Speaker 1: which sounds like a lot of money to me, But
Speaker 1: what do I know? Democrats want the three point five
Speaker 1: trillion plus, then I think it's six hundred billion on
Speaker 1: top of it for additional infrastructure or something. It's a
Speaker 1: crazy amount of money that's built into it. But tell
Speaker 1: me about how amnesty comes into this equation. So it
Speaker 1: was announced just yesterday that Senator Joe Mansion was going
Speaker 1: to go forward with an amnesty bill that would give
Speaker 1: amnesty basically the six million plus illegal aliens. They include
Speaker 1: DOCTA recipients, farm workers, quote unquote essential service workers, that
Speaker 1: includes any restaurant worker as an essential service worker, and
Speaker 1: anyone who's lost their job from COVID nineteen. It's gonna
Speaker 1: be a massive behemoth of an amnesty bill snuck inside
Speaker 1: the budget which is never ever ever even been attempted before,
Speaker 1: let alone done. And the budget bill, mind you, is
Speaker 1: only fifty one votes to pass. Fifty Democrats plus Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris Um. That's what they're looking at, and it will
Speaker 1: be a massive six a million plus person amnesty if
Speaker 1: they get this. Throw Wait, but how how could that be?
Speaker 1: Because when we spoke to the Center, I said, okay,
Speaker 1: they can basically the power of the purse, right, whether
Speaker 1: they're spending a dollar or a trillion dollars, Senate gets
Speaker 1: to determine that and that and that can be done
Speaker 1: through the through a simple majority vote, or even through
Speaker 1: the budget reconciliation process when they kind of go in
Speaker 1: the back end and address it. Whatever that means. How
Speaker 1: can they do amnesty, because you know, amnesty is not
Speaker 1: we're spending more money on it's it's changing US federal law, right,
Speaker 1: So how does that work in So the way that
Speaker 1: they're doing is they're sitting there and saying that the
Speaker 1: budget will um This budget will increase welfare recipients, so
Speaker 1: therefore it will increase the budgeting United States, and therefore
Speaker 1: it is a budget bill. That is the reason that
Speaker 1: they're going to give to the parliamentarian. I spoke to
Speaker 1: people from Senator Tom Cotton's office yesterday about this. That
Speaker 1: the reason their reasoning is this will increase the budget
Speaker 1: because it will increase welfare spending because there'll be a
Speaker 1: lot of new immigrants that will be qualifying for welfare,
Speaker 1: and therefore it is part of the budget bill. There's
Speaker 1: several hurdles. They still have to get through. This is
Speaker 1: not like a done deal yet. Joe Mansion was a
Speaker 1: very big hurdle and him getting on board is not
Speaker 1: a good sign. They still have to get Kristen Cinema,
Speaker 1: who is the most independent person probably in the US Senate,
Speaker 1: and she does basically whatever she wants. Then there is
Speaker 1: also the Senate Parliamentarian who can sit there and say
Speaker 1: that this is not allowed in the budget bill. The
Speaker 1: Senate Parliamentarian was the one who also ruled that you
Speaker 1: can't increase in wage and the budget bill, so she
Speaker 1: may be a very difficult hurdle to sit there. And
Speaker 1: to cross third, you have the House Democrats. The House
Speaker 1: Democrats can only lose four votes to make to get
Speaker 1: the amnesty through. So four House Democrats and Vonnal seats
Speaker 1: sit there and split on this um, then that that
Speaker 1: kills the bill. Uh And and lastly, I mean you
Speaker 1: have public pressure I think from um from a moderate Democrats,
Speaker 1: Mark Kelly, who's up for this election. You have the
Speaker 1: election in New Hampshire. There's a handful of senators who
Speaker 1: would be vulnerable in the upcoming twenty twenty two mid terms.
Speaker 1: Then may be inclined to maybe flinch on this. So Ryan,
Speaker 1: is the overall spending something that anyone is anyone really
Speaker 1: gonna care? Doesn't matter, you know, because I remember when
Speaker 1: Obama was spending a trillion dollars for not the bank ballots,
Speaker 1: but for tarp right Trump, Oh no, no, it was
Speaker 1: the simulus, not tarpet stimulus, and everyone was like, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, that's a lot of money. I mean, now
Speaker 1: we've just been six trillion last year because of COVID. Right,
Speaker 1: six trillion was a total federal outlay for twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about a four point one trillion or
Speaker 1: three point five is an I see. But then there's
Speaker 1: I believe additional six hundred billion of infrastructure on top
Speaker 1: of that whatever. So between three and four trillion dollars
Speaker 1: of spending, do people care? I mean, does this move
Speaker 1: the needle? Well? I mean I think I think people
Speaker 1: do care. I mean they do care. But there's a
Speaker 1: certain population that does generally care about depth as it's
Speaker 1: spending and the debt and blowing up the debt, and
Speaker 1: that that is the case. However, more people are going
Speaker 1: to care about inflation. I think this is where this
Speaker 1: really hurts them. I think that inflation is where they'll
Speaker 1: be worried about the spending because we're just literally dolling
Speaker 1: out money, spending huge quantities of it, and inflation is soaring.
Speaker 1: I think that that will definitely affect lower income people.
Speaker 1: And then there's a handful of people in this country
Speaker 1: that still believe in democratic norms, that still believe that
Speaker 1: you shouldn't sit there and have one party try to
Speaker 1: rush something through with the bare minimum of votes. And
Speaker 1: those those moderates who cared so much about they clutched
Speaker 1: their pearls for Trump every time Trump was quote unquote
Speaker 1: breaking democratic norms. That will be that will care about
Speaker 1: Democrats sitting there and having a complete paragraph on their
Speaker 1: own with just fifty votes in a way that's never
Speaker 1: done before. That will affect this country forever. You know,
Speaker 1: it's it's worth saying you a country can get back
Speaker 1: from losing war, or from a bad economy, or from
Speaker 1: a bad present. It can never change an amnesty. This
Speaker 1: is it forever, a six million person amnesty that could
Speaker 1: flip Texas. And Democrats know, and that's why they're so hungry.
Speaker 1: That is that they're in do this any which way
Speaker 1: they can because they think that this will be you
Speaker 1: know the end, this will be the you know, this
Speaker 1: will be them in power forever. I mean the parliamentarian
Speaker 1: it sounds like has a tremendous amount of power in
Speaker 1: this situation given what Democrats are trying to do, which
Speaker 1: makes me worry that they're going to use all of
Speaker 1: the pressure they can, you know, above and below ground,
Speaker 1: so to speak, to get this person to budge. I mean,
Speaker 1: am I missing something? Is the parliamentary parliamentarian party? I
Speaker 1: spoke so I spoke to two parliamentarians. So one who
Speaker 1: told me that this is appol not allowed in the rules,
Speaker 1: a former parliamentarian, so this is absolutely not allowed in
Speaker 1: the rules. The second one who is who's a council
Speaker 1: of the parliamentarian, who said it's a fifty fifty chance
Speaker 1: because there is some precedent in a two thousand and
Speaker 1: five budget bill about something small on immigration. It wasn't
Speaker 1: anything close to this. Um. The current of parliamentarian is
Speaker 1: pretty down the line and she's pretty she's pretty uh,
Speaker 1: she doesn't really wave a lot. She was the one
Speaker 1: who who made sure Democrats couldn't pass them in wage
Speaker 1: hike in the last budget. She said that that's not
Speaker 1: allowed and if a minimal wage hike. It doesn't affect spending.
Speaker 1: I have a very hard time seeing how amnesty does.
Speaker 1: So you think unlikely but not impossible, and Democrats business
Speaker 1: and it's not impossible. There's four major hurdles to sit
Speaker 1: there and there. If you live in Arizona, you should
Speaker 1: call Christen Cinema, Mark Kelly, if you live in any
Speaker 1: swing district in the House, you need four House Democrats
Speaker 1: to have at least enough concern not to one amnesty
Speaker 1: in this bill. And you know in this way, And
Speaker 1: the most deceiving part about about Joe Mansion is that
Speaker 1: he's the one who is getting so much praises. I'm
Speaker 1: going to save the filibuster, and I believe in the Senate,
Speaker 1: but this is basically a way to get rid of
Speaker 1: the filibuster without getting rid of the filibuster. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: is he wants the praise of being the maverick who
Speaker 1: supports the Senate institution of the filibuster while giving the
Speaker 1: Democrat hard left exactly and honestly just the Democrat Party
Speaker 1: generally exactly what they want without the votes that are
Speaker 1: otherwise need to do it. That's very Is is is there
Speaker 1: anything else that people should be aware of that is
Speaker 1: involved in this budget process that you know they're they're
Speaker 1: basically trying to hide or hoping no one pays attention to.
Speaker 1: There's plenty of there's green new deal parts of this budget.
Speaker 1: There's going to be efforts to expand medicaid, to have
Speaker 1: K through twelve twelve PreK universal PreK in this budget.
Speaker 1: They're going to try to shove every single Democratic wish
Speaker 1: list in this budget basically except for HR one is
Speaker 1: they've already said that that's not allowing the budget the
Speaker 1: voting bill, but everything else in this budget will be
Speaker 1: shoved in there. You know, come hell or high water,
Speaker 1: and it's just and mansion is not going to go
Speaker 1: alone many parts of it, and many other moderate Democrats
Speaker 1: are not going to go along with other large parts
Speaker 1: of it. It's a lot of messaging in this bill,
Speaker 1: but they will find out whatever they can get and
Speaker 1: whatever they can push through uh and keep with the
Speaker 1: absolute barman. I mean, remember, it's only four House Democrats,
Speaker 1: either of the far left or of the moderates who
Speaker 1: have to sway to sit there and break from this. Well,
Speaker 1: why do you think we're speaking, Ryan Grudusky author If
Speaker 1: they're not listening how the elites created a national populous revolution. Ryan,
Speaker 1: why do you think we got so much from the
Speaker 1: Democrats this week about Jim Crow two point zero Texas
Speaker 1: voting rights law, the people leaving to go to DC,
Speaker 1: the Texas State State House Democrats. Is this just all?
Speaker 1: Is it just all theatrics to raise money or is
Speaker 1: there is there a bigger strategy involved it because they
Speaker 1: have to There's an old thing. If God didn't exist,
Speaker 1: we'd have to create him. Donald Trump doesn't exist in
Speaker 1: the public eye, so they have to create the next race, baiting,
Speaker 1: scaring of my already is and and Cabernet, Antifa, wine
Speaker 1: moms in the suburbs, so that has the first it
Speaker 1: was Marjorie Taylor Green, then it was Matt Gates. Now
Speaker 1: it's now it's Texas Republicans trying to get you know,
Speaker 1: voter id laws of its Georgia Republicans trying a voter
Speaker 1: ideal laws. There has to always be a case of
Speaker 1: Republicans are five seconds away from reinstituting slavery in their minds.
Speaker 1: So that's kind of just why it's literally meaningless. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a small state law in one state that that
Speaker 1: has a minimal change is really when you think of it, um,
Speaker 1: this is not this is not this is not the
Speaker 1: be all, end all changing of the bill. So that's
Speaker 1: one of the election law. So I just think that
Speaker 1: it's smoked nearest to raise money and keep anxieties going
Speaker 1: for to keep Democrats engaged. And how long do you
Speaker 1: think we're gonna have to wait to see what actually
Speaker 1: happens with this with this budget bill, by the way,
Speaker 1: I meant to we have we have some time. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's not going to be done. They don't have a
Speaker 1: text yet, so first institute the text and then the
Speaker 1: parliamentarian will have to waive what parts of the text
Speaker 1: are not are not allowed to be in the budget.
Speaker 1: So that has to happen first. And they don't have
Speaker 1: a text to the budget yet. If they do it
Speaker 1: very sloppily, uh, there'll be more that you can sit
Speaker 1: there and peel. So I think it will be some time.
Speaker 1: So if you have time, and you live in West
Speaker 1: Virginia or Arizona, call your centers. If you live in
Speaker 1: Swing House, he's call your congressman and tell them don't
Speaker 1: don't have an amnesty through the button. Meaning we got
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks here, Yes, you have a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks for sure. And uh, you know, Ryan, I
Speaker 1: also want to because I know you've been following the
Speaker 1: election stuff very closely, the twenty twenty election stuff. I'm
Speaker 1: hearing from people who have been straight shooters. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not hearing from the uh uh, what's what was his name?
Speaker 1: Who's the guy who was in Richard Jewel? That lawyer
Speaker 1: who I'm talking about? That Wood? Yeah, I'm not talking
Speaker 1: like Lynn Wood stuff. I'm hearing for people that are
Speaker 1: serious people that some funky stuff happened in Georgia with ballots,
Speaker 1: and that they they they have proof it's real. And
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it was accidental, maybe it wasn't systematic,
Speaker 1: because there were some double accounts for Trump as well
Speaker 1: as double accounts for Biden. But have you seen any
Speaker 1: of this? Does this wash? I went to Georgia and
Speaker 1: I went there for the runoffs, and I have to
Speaker 1: tell you it was the biggest disaster I've ever seen
Speaker 1: before in my entire life. From election board to the
Speaker 1: state Republican Party. It was like the first ten minutes
Speaker 1: of saving Private Ryan. There was no safe place to
Speaker 1: rush yourrize. I would not doubt if there were some
Speaker 1: problems going on in Georgia, it would not shock me
Speaker 1: in the slightest. I don't have any proof of that.
Speaker 1: I don't have any evidence all off sayings, I would
Speaker 1: not be shocked. I'm hearing the same thing in Arizona.
Speaker 1: So I mean, wait and see. I doubt you know
Speaker 1: Trump is going to be reinstate there for me or
Speaker 1: anything like that. I don't think that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't be surprised if there were some overcounts
Speaker 1: or some undercounts or something was going wrong. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: there's there's like a ferocity from the Democrats about even
Speaker 1: the most straightforward recount or checking of what happened in
Speaker 1: these places. I mean, they lose their minds at the
Speaker 1: very notion of like looking at what went out right.
Speaker 1: And I mean the bigger problem in Georgia is they
Speaker 1: broke I mean not those Democrats. There's Republicans let to
Speaker 1: do it. They broke the state election law. In order
Speaker 1: to hold this election, the state election lasses. If you
Speaker 1: want to promote appsotete battle, there has to be two witnesses,
Speaker 1: one official Democrat, one official Republican, and only you can
Speaker 1: end in your own battle. That's the state law. It
Speaker 1: was like that before twenty twenty, and the Secretary of
Speaker 1: State Rattensburger, waived all of those laws. He allowed every
Speaker 1: county had put in as many drop boxes as they
Speaker 1: wanted to. Of course, the Democratic counties wanted to drop
Speaker 1: boxes often as there was a mailbox, and so the
Speaker 1: state law was completely altered for the sake of this election,
Speaker 1: and that gage Democrats a huge, huge, huge advantage. But
Speaker 1: I don't know about the double counting, so I guess
Speaker 1: we'll wait and see about that. I wouldn't I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised what comes out of Atlanta and Savannah. Though.
Speaker 1: Have they figured out Ryan last one for you? But
Speaker 1: but have they figured out the Republicans that you have
Speaker 1: to actually challenge this stuff and get it squared away
Speaker 1: before the election? You think, are they more serious about it?
Speaker 1: You know? I think before the election, I think there's
Speaker 1: there was one part Arrogancy where you know, I would
Speaker 1: A lot of the problem with a lot of Southern
Speaker 1: states is their Republican parties believe they can never lose
Speaker 1: outside of Florida, and that's why they have a competent
Speaker 1: Republican party in Florida because they actually try Georgia they don't.
Speaker 1: In most other southern states they do not. So yes,
Speaker 1: I think that, I think now more than ever because
Speaker 1: election integrity is probably one of the top three issue,
Speaker 1: or definitely the one of the top three issues for
Speaker 1: Republican voters. That's why they're making all these masterforms, and
Speaker 1: now they're going to sit there and probably do something
Speaker 1: about it. Listen, if Florida went from the biggest joke
Speaker 1: in the country in two thousands to the most efficient
Speaker 1: state accounting ballots in twenty years, I think all these
Speaker 1: other ships in their act together a lot faster, and
Speaker 1: should Ryan or Dusk everybody. Ryan always appreciate it, man,
Speaker 1: thanks so much, thank you. I gotta tell you, at
Speaker 1: least one person really liked Joe Biden's reckless, dishonest, divisive,
Speaker 1: destructive speech. Somebody with expertise, I mean, true world class
Speaker 1: expertise in just those things, dividing, destroying, lying, play clip six.
Speaker 1: And I told the President just after the speech, I
Speaker 1: think he made one of a monumental speech for president
Speaker 1: to stand there in the shadows of where they signed
Speaker 1: the Declaration of Independence and attack Jim Crow twenty first
Speaker 1: century or something that I was not expecting. And I
Speaker 1: also thought the fact that he did not in any way,
Speaker 1: shape or from duct the racial aspect of what we're
Speaker 1: seeing in terms of the pushback by many states in
Speaker 1: coming with new restrictions. What else do you need to
Speaker 1: know other than Al Sharpton liked the speech. I think
Speaker 1: that pretty much tells you everything you need to know
Speaker 1: about what Biden said earlier this week. All right, well,
