1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Welcome.

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, Senator,

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 2: It's like one in the morning, and I can't believe

4
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: I'm actually saying this to you, But is it fair

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: to say that Kamala Harris is stealing campaign ideas from

6
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 2: socialists and communists, you know, people like Stalin and I

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 2: don't know Maduro with her new plan on food prices.

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: Well, we're twenty five days in to Kamala Harris being

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 3: the presumptive Democrat nominee. For twenty three of the days,

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: she had a total of zero policy proposals.

11
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: Her website still.

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 3: Has no policy positions listed on it. Then, twenty four

13
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 3: days into it, she discovered her first policy proposal and

14
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: it was a good one. It was no taxes on tips,

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 3: something Donald Trump proposed, something that I introduced and authored

16
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 3: the legislation.

17
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: And so that was a good sign.

18
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 3: She had found one position that she liked and it

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,639
Speaker 3: was actually a tax cutting position. Well, that moment, that

20
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 3: moment of clarity lasted about twenty four hours. She's now

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 3: come out with her second policy position. And mind you,

22
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 3: this is the second out of two, because in twenty

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 3: five days she has not had any other policy positions whatsoever. Unfortunately,

24
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: position number two was not nearly as good as position

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 3: number one. Position number two is she Queen Kamala the

26
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 3: federal government czar is going to set prices, well, not

27
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 3: on anything that matters, just food, just groceries, just what

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 3: you feed your children and your family. That the federal

29
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 3: government is now going to be in the business that

30
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 3: the Soviet Union, their government was in for a long time,

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 3: deciding the prices of goods that people need and want.

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: The only problem is history has shown that is absolutely disastrous.

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 3: We're gonna break that down, We're gonna explain it to you.

34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: And then secondly, Kamala Harris desperately, desperately won want you

35
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 3: to forget that. She has been the borders are for

36
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 3: four years. There's a reason for that. The border is

37
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 3: the single greatest disaster under Joe Biden and her administration.

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: Just this week, we've seen a potential terrorist, a Palestinian, apprehended.

39
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: We've also seen a criminal, a mass murderer, who had

40
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 3: been apprehended at the border. These are inconvenient facts, as

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 3: of the facts that she and Joe Biden have lost

42
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: over eighty thousand illegal immigrant children they've just lost them.

43
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 3: They handed them over to adults. They didn't vet, they

44
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 3: don't know who they are. They don't know if the

45
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: adults are abusing the kids. They don't know if the

46
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: adults are putting the kids in slave labor, they don't

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 3: know if the adults are engaging in sexual abuse of

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: the kids. They've just lost them. Because it's all politics

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: and if children have to suffer, well, they're willing to

50
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 3: accept that price. We're gonna explain that as well.

51
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 2: I want to remind you about what's going on in Israel.

52
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: The people in Israel right now still very much desperately

53
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: need your help. They are absolutely under attack, this time

54
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: with a massive rocket attack that just came in from Hesbla.

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 2: Since October the seventh, attacks on Israel have increased, with

56
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: a Ran and its proxies launching attack after attack, hundreds

57
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: and hundreds of drones and missiles. Israel and the Israeli

58
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: people are living with the harsh reality of terror every day,

59
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: and the need right now is bomb shelters. The International

60
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 2: Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right

61
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: now addressing all the urgent needs. And that's why I

62
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: want you to partner with IFCJ today. While praying for

63
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: the best, IFCJ is also preparing for the worst by

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: packing emergency bomb shelter kits that can be delivered immediately

65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: to those in desperate need, and your life saving donation

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 2: today will help assemble and place these kits with enough

67
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: food and life saving emergency supplies for twenty people huddled

68
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 2: in a bomb shelter. The cost to put together and

69
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 2: distribute these kits is just two hundred and ninety dollars,

70
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: and your gift will help save lives. And thanks to

71
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 2: a matching challenge from a generous ifc supporter, your gift

72
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: will be doubled in impact to help provide twice the support. Now,

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: all you have to do is call them triple eight

74
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 2: for eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight for eight

75
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 2: eight IFCJ eight to eight for eight eight IFCJ. You

76
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: can also go online to support IFCJ dot org to

77
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 2: give that's one word, support IFCJ dot org to stand

78
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 2: with the people in Israel Center. When this came out,

79
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: I was actually kind of laughing, and then I realized

80
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 2: how close we are to turning into a Soviet style

81
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 2: food market, grocery stores. And if you go back and

82
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: look what Soviet style markets look like, they didn't actually

83
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: even have shelving in the majority of them.

84
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: They had pallets and boxes.

85
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 2: And then you open the box and whatever they had

86
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: for you there that day is what you went home with.

87
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 2: You didn't go shopping, you went and found whatever they

88
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: brought you. There are lots of videos of this that

89
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: you can see online of just how bad it is

90
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: when the government takes over. But what Kamala Harris is

91
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: doing is she's trying to appease to voters, saying, Hey,

92
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: I'm going to put price controls on food. The issue

93
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: is and I want you to take a moment to

94
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: explain this to people. If the government does that and

95
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: the farmer's prices go up and the price of grain

96
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 2: or the price of fuel or the price of transportation,

97
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: they start losing money, they go under instantly, leaving no

98
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: one but the government to basically feed you.

99
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 3: Well, I want to break down a couple of pieces

100
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: of this. I want to break down the politics of it,

101
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 3: and then I want to break down the substance of it.

102
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 3: Let's start with the politics of it. Kamala Harris and

103
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 3: her team have been on a sugar high for twenty

104
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 3: five days. The press has been engaged in a relentless

105
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 3: campaign of lionization and canonization. They've been turning her into

106
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: Saint Kamala. But it has been utterly substance free her team.

107
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: They're not stupid. They understand as we get closer to

108
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 3: election day, people are actually going to care about substance.

109
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: The top two issues in the country, and this is

110
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: true in pretty much every single opinion poll that is done.

111
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: They are number one the chaos at the open border

112
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: eleven and a half million people crossing to this country illegally,

113
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: and number two jobs in the economy, and in particular

114
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 3: inflation and inflation is hurting people all across the country.

115
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 3: And it varies poll to poll whether illegal immigration is

116
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: one and economy inflation is two, or whether economy inflation

117
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 3: is one and illegal immigration is two, but those are

118
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 3: consistently one and two. They're both at about thirty percent,

119
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: by the way, in a typical poll in terms of

120
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 3: how many of the voters say this is my top concern,

121
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: so the two together are about sixty percent, and Kamala's

122
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: record on them, on both of them is terrible. Now

123
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: on the border, her strategy is simple. She's just trying

124
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: to gaslight the American people and claim she wasn't the

125
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: borders are, it's not her fault, pay no attention to

126
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 3: what's going on here. So it's just denial. Because she

127
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: has no other answer on inflation. This is her effort

128
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 3: to provide an answer. Now, I want to explain where

129
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: inflation comes from first, and then what's wrong with her

130
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 3: bogus political solution. What has caused the inflation of the

131
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 3: last four years, And it's been two things. Principally, Number one,

132
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: it has been the federal government spending trillions of dollars

133
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 3: we don't have, borrowing trillions of dollars we don't have

134
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: from foreign countries, including China, and printing trillions of dollars

135
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: we don't have. And this is where it's important to understand. Listen, Democrats,

136
00:07:53,760 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 3: unfortunately in Washington, are economically illiterate. That's a real problem

137
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 3: because one of the major jobs of serving in the

138
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: federal government is to understand the economy. My number one

139
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 3: priority in the Senate is jobs. You have to know

140
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: something about the economy to be able to fight for

141
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 3: jobs for thirty million Texans. Now, what is the role

142
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: of prices. And let's go back to first principles. All right,

143
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 3: if you go to ancient agrarian societies, maybe Ben, you

144
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 3: might be a fisherman and I might be a farmer.

145
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: And let's say I grow apples, and maybe it's the

146
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: case that initially exchanges were done by barter. So let's

147
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 3: say I wanted a fish, and you were a fisherman,

148
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 3: and I could come and I could give you three apples,

149
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: and you could give me a fish, and you and

150
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 3: I could agree. I guess I had a lot of apples.

151
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: Fish were harder to come by, they took more effort,

152
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 3: they took more labor, they took more capital. You needed

153
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: a boat to be able to get your fish. So

154
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: we would agree on a price of three apples for

155
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 3: one fish. And so that's how we set the relative

156
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: value of the two things we were producing. The problem

157
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 3: is it was really inconvenient to carry around apples in

158
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 3: your pocket all day long or fish in your pocket

159
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: all day long, aside from the fact that it kind

160
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: of stinks and they go rotten. And so what arose

161
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 3: is the growth of money. Now the value of money

162
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 3: is prices serve as a signaling effect. Now they serve

163
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: as a signaling effect. Number one, the relative value of

164
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 3: goods and services visa each other. They also have a

165
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 3: different signaling effect, which I'll discuss in a minute, but

166
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 3: let's just focus on the relative value. So if we

167
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: come up with let's say a dollar, that's going to

168
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: be our medium of currency. And if the ratio was

169
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 3: three apples to every fish, it would be very simple.

170
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 3: We would agree that the price of a fish is

171
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 3: three dollars and the price of an apple is one dollar.

172
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 3: Now that's that same ratio. It's the identical thing you

173
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: and I have agreed. That's the relative value of the two.

174
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 3: But the beauty of it is we could both carry dollars,

175
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: and we knew if I wanted a fish, I gave

176
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 3: you three bucks. If you wanted an apple, you gave

177
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: me a dollar. By the way, you didn't have to

178
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 3: give me a third of a fish, like giving me

179
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 3: the fish head is kind of lousy. You could just

180
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 3: give me a dollar and that was a third of

181
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 3: the value of the fish. So it was also divisible

182
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 3: to smaller units, and it enabled exchange and trade. Now,

183
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 3: to understand inflation at the very simplest level, let's the

184
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 3: entire purpose of money, or one of the central purposes

185
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: entires a bit much. But one of the central purposes

186
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 3: is providing a relative valuation of one good in service

187
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 3: versus another. In a simple hypothetical, let's assume we double

188
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: the number of dollars that exists in our land, our country,

189
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 3: wherever we're living.

190
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: Let's say there are.

191
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: A million dollars in circulation on day one, and then

192
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 3: on day two there are two million dollars. Now, if

193
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: you double the number of dollars in circulation, look, the

194
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 3: relative value of a fish to an apple didn't change.

195
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 3: You and I still agree a fish is worth three

196
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: times as much as an apple, Which means if there

197
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 3: are twice as many dollars, and the dollars are serving

198
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 3: a signaling function to let me know how valuable a

199
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 3: fish is compared to how valuable an apple is. It

200
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: means when you double the money supply and you go

201
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 3: from a million dollars in circulation to two million dollars

202
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: in circulation, you know what the price of a fish

203
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: is the next day six dollars. You know what the

204
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,439
Speaker 3: price of an apple is two dollars. Why because the

205
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: ratio of six dollars to two dollars is still three

206
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 3: to one. And we also want to be able to

207
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: value the price of a fish and an apple, visa

208
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: viv a banana, visa v an F one to fifty

209
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 3: pickup truck, and so you need pricing gives relative values.

210
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: Why do we have inflation? There were two major drivers.

211
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 3: Number One, the Democrats spend a crap ton of money

212
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: they didn't have, and they grew the money supply. There

213
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: are a lot more dollars. If there are a lot

214
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: more dollars, the price of everything goes up. But secondly,

215
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 3: there is a second component of inflation, which is for

216
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: four years, Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have waged a

217
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: war on energy and in particular oil and gas. And

218
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 3: understand oil and gas. The United States is the world's

219
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 3: biggest producer of oil and gas. We are the world's

220
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:25,599
Speaker 3: greatest superpower when it comes to oil and gas. This administration,

221
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 3: because they've given in to the Green New Deal lunatics,

222
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 3: and in fact not just give it in, they've embraced them,

223
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 3: and that's who they are. They have launched regulatory effort

224
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 3: after regulatory effort trying to hammer US oil and gas production.

225
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: The result has been the price of gasoline has risen,

226
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: the price of energy has risen. The price of oil

227
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: and gas across the board has risen. That is their

228
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 3: intended effect. Why because Kamala Harris and Joe Biden want

229
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: to make it really expensive when you fill up your

230
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 3: pickup truck, when you fill up your minivan, when you

231
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: fill up your suburban. They want it to be painful

232
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,719
Speaker 3: because they want you to sell your suburban and go

233
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 3: buy a little electric vehicle. And they figure if they

234
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: make enough American families hurt, then you will change your

235
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 3: behavior and you will comply with their woke political demands.

236
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: Now that war on energy is a major, major driver

237
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 3: of inflation. Let's take food. So when it comes to food,

238
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 3: a big driver of the cost of food is the

239
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 3: cost of fertilizer, and fertilizer natural gas is a major

240
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 3: ingredient energy costs or a major ingredient in the cost

241
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: of fertilizer. And so by driving up the cost of energy,

242
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: they're driving up the cost of growing food. But not

243
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: just growing food. Look, if you want to plow your

244
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 3: field right now, a farmer uses a tractor. A tractor

245
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 3: runs on diesel. If the cost of diesel is a

246
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: lot more. It's a lot more expensive to plow your field.

247
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: Once you plow your field, you've got to harvest your field.

248
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: That again takes diesel. That becomes a lot more expensive.

249
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 3: Then after you harvest it, you've got to take it

250
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: to the wholesaler. The wholesaler has to take it ultimately

251
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: to the grocery store. Every one of those trucks runs

252
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: on diesel as well, and so by waging a war

253
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 3: on oil and gas, Kamala Harris is directly responsible for

254
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: causing a massive increase in the cost of food at

255
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: the grocery store. Now she's got a political problem. This thing,

256
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 3: which millions of Americans hate because it's hurting their families

257
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: is her fault. It is her fault because of bad

258
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: policies that she is championed day in and day out

259
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: for four years. She can't admit any of that. So instead,

260
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: what is their solution. The government will magically decree prices

261
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: will be lower. You must lower prices politically. This is

262
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: driven by a mandate to have some answer to inflation,

263
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: and she can't give the answer. I'm going to stop

264
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 3: my terrible policies that cause this inflation. So instead wave

265
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: a magic amount wand the government will fix it out.

266
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: In a minute, we'll get to the substance. But her

267
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 3: solution is an absolute train wreck. It is a disaster.

268
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 3: It would hurt the American people badly. But understand, she

269
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 3: doesn't know this far. Too few Democrats in Washington have

270
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: even a basic understanding of economics, and so their answer is,

271
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: we will just decree no longer will fish, and my

272
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: hypothetical will be three dollars. Now, mister Ferguson, you must

273
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: sell fish for a dollar because people like fish, and

274
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: three dollars is too much for a fish, so you

275
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 3: must sell fish for a dollar.

276
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: That is her answer.

277
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: History teaches us in every society that has tried this,

278
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: from the Soviet Union to Venezuela, it is a disaster.

279
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 3: It doesn't work, It results in massive shortages, it results

280
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 3: in consumers getting royally screwed. And yet Kamala Harris and

281
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 3: the people around her have no idea about this.

282
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: All right, I want to take a moment to tell

283
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: you about something that is incredible, especially if you're a

284
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,000

00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: And that is a special opportunity from bond arms to

00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: the idea and look, I understand this is another way

310
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: of in essence Biden and Harris. All right, I should

311
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 2: now just say Harris is trying to buy votes. Hey,

312
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 2: vote for me. I'll give you cheaper food with guaranteed pricing.

313
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 2: But the collapse apps of the private sector can literally

314
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: happen overnight. I go back to COVID is a great

315
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: example of this. The entire system would have fallen instantly

316
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: if you had price mandates. That meant that the people

317
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: that were producing, whether it's whether it's dealing with cattle

318
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 2: or chicken, or eggs or milk, dairy, whatever, grain, everything,

319
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 2: we saw the prices go up. And if you have

320
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 2: a set price at hey, farmer, you have to sell

321
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: a pound of ground beefit a dollar ninety nine, and

322
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: then it's costing you three point fifty four five dollars produce.

323
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: You're out of business instantly. It all shuts down instantly.

324
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: You can't you can't run in deficits like that on

325
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 2: end because the government tells you must sell your dozen

326
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: eggs for a buck fifty when it's cost you three

327
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 2: twenty five because of grain prices.

328
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 1: That is exactly right.

329
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 3: And what you're touching on now is a second very

330
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 3: important function of prices. So when I was first laying

331
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:02,880
Speaker 3: this out, and let me just say as it aside,

332
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,719
Speaker 3: this is one of the reasons I like doing this

333
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: podcast is we actually get into substance. Like like if

334
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 3: you're watching the news on CNN, they don't cover substance

335
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 3: that they just engage in political propaganda.

336
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: And this podcast.

337
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 3: One of the things I love about our listeners is

338
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: our listeners run the gamut in terms of age, in

339
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: terms of experience. So we've got some people that listen

340
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 3: to this who are PhD economists and university professors. That's great,

341
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 3: they understand everything I'm saying. We've got other people. We

342
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 3: have We have high school kids and even junior high

343
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 3: kids who listened to the We we have college students,

344
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: we have young professionals. We have people some who study economics,

345
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 3: others who who are lawyers, others who are doctors, others

346
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 3: who are who are working mowing lawns. I mean, we

347
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: have the entire array of listeners. What unifies verdict listeners

348
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 3: is they actually care about the truth and they want

349
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 3: to know the truth and they're interested. You and I

350
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 3: have talked about the fact that my wife, Heidi, listens

351
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 3: regular to this podcast. Now I've been married now twenty

352
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 3: three years. It's not easy to get your wife to

353
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 3: listen to anything you do. But the reason she tells

354
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: me she listens to it.

355
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know, you know, you just hope

356
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: me up. Trust me. I'm on the same We're on

357
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 1: the same boat on this one, my friend.

358
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 3: But you know why Heidi says she listens to it.

359
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 3: She says she learns things. It's actually useful and helpful

360
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,479
Speaker 3: to her on a topic.

361
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: And so.

362
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the second function of prices. One is

363
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: the relative value of one good or service visa of

364
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 3: the another. But another function, how is a price determined?

365
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 3: And it's determined? So you learn this when you take

366
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 3: economics one oh one. Typically that's like an introductory college course. Uh.

367
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 3: A price is determined from the intersection of two lines.

368
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 3: One line is supply and one line is demand. Now

369
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 3: what does that mean. Let's explain this in simple terms.

370
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: Let's go back to the fish example. In the fish example,

371
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: you are Ben Ferguson is providing the supply of fish.

372
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 3: You're out there fishing every day. Now a price the

373
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 3: supply line is sloped upwards, which means the higher the price,

374
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 3: the more fish you're going to supply. Why is that

375
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 3: If fish are suddenly ten bucks apiece, Ben, you're gonna say, hot,

376
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 3: diggity damn, people like them some fish. Maybe sushi became popular.

377
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is. They want fish. I

378
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 3: sell a fish, I get ten bucks. That means I

379
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 3: get to buy all sorts of other stuff I really

380
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 3: care about. And so maybe Ben, you had one fishing boat,

381
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: but fish went up to ten dollars, You're like, we're

382
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: going to expl expand supply because this price is really

383
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 3: attractive to me. I'm going to go buy me two

384
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: other boats because I want to make more fish. Because

385
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 3: at ten bucks of fish, it's really profitable. So supply

386
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 3: will increase if the price goes up. On the other hand,

387
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 3: if the price goes down down, if suddenly instead of

388
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: three bucks for fish, fish is a dollar at a minimum,

389
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 3: you're going to say, you know, I'm not interested in

390
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: investing any more capital in this business. I'm definitely not

391
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: buying another vote, and I might not even be able

392
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: to survive in this business because the price has gotten

393
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 3: so low. So the price gives a signaling effect to

394
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 3: the producers of how much to invest in producing the product.

395
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 3: In any business, in any product, there are two and

396
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 3: only two inputs, labor and capital. Labor is maybe you

397
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: hire three other fishermen. That's one way of increasing your production.

398
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: If you had one fisherman and you hired two more,

399
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: you're going to produce more fish. Another way of increasing

400
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 3: your production is more capital. You get two more boats.

401
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 3: That's another way of producing more capital. It is the

402
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 3: price that gives you the instantaneous signaling effect to know

403
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 3: do I need to invest more or less in my

404
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: fishing business. By the way, if the price stays at

405
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 3: ten minus fish, I might decide screw it with these apples.

406
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: I'm getting me a boat. I'm getting into the fishing business.

407
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 3: I'm tired of a dollar an apple for apples.

408
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: Now.

409
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 3: The other line on the graph is the demand curve,

410
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 3: and the demand curve slopes downward, And what that means

411
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 3: is the higher the price, the less demand. So if

412
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: fish or a hundred bucks of fish, I may love

413
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: me some fish like, Oh, it's delicious stuff.

414
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: I love it.

415
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 3: But at a hundred bucks, you know what, I'm eating

416
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 3: the apples. I don't want any fish at a hundred bucks.

417
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 3: I can't afford it. Nope, I am not in the

418
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 3: fish business if it's a hundred bucks. So in my hypothetical,

419
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 3: let's assume at a hundred bucks, demand for fish is zero

420
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 3: because no one can afford it, or it's so high

421
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 3: they don't want it. Now, as the price of fish

422
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 3: gets cheaper and cheaper and cheaper, if fish is three bucks,

423
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: I may say, all right, I like fish. Maybe I

424
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 3: go have fish once a week or twice a week.

425
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 3: That's what I feed my family. It's a good choice.

426
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 3: And a fish get even cheaper than that fish dropped

427
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: to a do I might say, you know what, even

428
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 3: though I like beef, if I can't afford beef anymore

429
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 3: and fish has suddenly become really expensive, I'm going to

430
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: have fish five days a week. And so demand responds

431
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: to price. The lower price gets typically the more demand increases.

432
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 3: And if you look at it as an economic and

433
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: mathematical matter, the price is the intersection between those two

434
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: lines between supply and demand. Now, why is Kamala Harris's

435
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 3: Soviet price fixing such a bad idea because history has

436
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 3: told us that government bureaucrats, all government bureaucrats are absolutely

437
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 3: terrible at fixing prices. And there's a reason, frankly, nobody

438
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 3: is smart enough to do this, right, You're not, I'm not.

439
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 3: Nobody is if you look at free enterprise, you look

440
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,400
Speaker 3: at capitalism, you look at the market, Supply and demand

441
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: are responding to milli millions of factors simultaneously to set

442
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 3: the price, and those prices change the behavior. So if

443
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 3: you're a fisherman and the cost of your inputs go up,

444
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: suppose you use fishing nets and the cost of fishing

445
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: nets go from ten dollars to twenty dollars. That's an input,

446
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 3: you know, and you're like, okay, I got to buy

447
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 3: fishing nets. My nets are more expensive, so I have

448
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 3: to raise the price. You respond instantaneously to that, you

449
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 3: know what. Nobody in government is smart enough to know that,

450
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 3: and Kamala Harris most certainly is not smart enough to

451
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,719
Speaker 3: know that. So what happens. What the Soviet Union did

452
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 3: all the time is they would set a price, and

453
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 3: usually they'd set it too low because by the way.

454
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 3: Government's incentive is always to give away free stuff. So

455
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 3: if a normal free market price for a fish was

456
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 3: three bucks, a politician that wants to be popular is

457
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 3: going to say a dollar fish for everyone. Look how

458
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: generous I am. And what will happen is what you

459
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 3: started by saying. Ben in this hypothetical. If it's a

460
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 3: dollar fish and you discover you can't afford the cost

461
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: to your boat, you can't afford to pay your fishermen,

462
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: you can't afford to buy nets, you know what you're

463
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 3: gonna do. You're gonna go out of business. And the

464
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 3: result is no fish. And we saw that the Soviet

465
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 3: Union in their stores where people would go and they'd

466
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 3: want rice, they'd want food, they want beans, they'd want fish,

467
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: they'd want apples, and it wasn't there because the government

468
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: that set the price so low that it put people

469
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 3: out of business.

470
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: The other part that is, and I encourage people show

471
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 2: this to your kids and your grandkids. You can go

472
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: back and just google supermarkets in Russia or in the

473
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: USSR and you can see extremely long lines and zero selection.

474
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 2: You got whatever they had, and food that you and

475
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 2: I would never purchase in the United States of America.

476
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,959
Speaker 2: In fact, it would never be allowed to be sold

477
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 2: in America with our standards that we have, and that

478
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: became their almost day to day life and reality. That's

479
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 2: point number one. But there's also a very interesting part

480
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 2: of history here, and it involves, i think, in such

481
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 2: a cool way, Houston and NASA, with the USSR leader

482
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 2: Yeltsin coming to America and he went to NASA and

483
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 2: then he went to a supermarket. It was an unplanned

484
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: visit to go to this supermarket. It was not far

485
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 2: from NASA, and he was in total amazement at what

486
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: he saw.

487
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. And so this was bors Yeltsen

488
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 3: was the president of Russia. It was nineteen eighty nine,

489
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 3: and he came to Texas. He came to NASA, and

490
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: then he stopped by a supermarket and he was utterly

491
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 3: flabbergasted because he looked at the supermarket and he saw

492
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: this incredible array of choices. Houston Chronicle reported Yeltsin, then

493
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 3: fifty eight years old quote roamed the aisles of Randalls.

494
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 3: Randall's was popular supermarket chain in Texas, and Houston nodding

495
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:11,639
Speaker 3: his head in amazement, he told his fellow Russians at

496
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 3: his entourage that if they're people who must often wait

497
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: in line for most goods, saw the conditions of US supermarkets, quote,

498
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 3: there would be a revolution, and he was utterly flabbergasted.

499
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: He was used to and so it describes how Yelton

500
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 3: asked customers about what they were buying and how much

501
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 3: it cost, later asking the store manager if one needed

502
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 3: a special education to manage a store. And in the

503
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 3: photos in the Houston Chronicle, you can see him marveling

504
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 3: at the produce selection the fresh fish market. We were

505
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: talking about fish. It was literally the price of fish.

506
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 3: He's looking at it, going wow, wait, you've got salmon,

507
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: You've got tuda, You've got all these different kinds of fish.

508
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: And the checkout counter and he looked especially excited about

509
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: frozen pudding pops. And and here's what he says. He says,

510
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: quote even the Pollit Bureau doesn't have this choice, not

511
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 3: even mister Gorbachev. And the fact that there were stores

512
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: like this on virtually every street quarter in America amazed him.

513
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 3: They offered him at Randall's, they offered him free cheese samples,

514
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 3: and he was shocked. And it played a real role

515
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: in America winning the Cold War, and in convincing him

516
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: that Soviet style price controls doesn't work. And and and

517
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 3: here let me read what what What What? Yeltson wrote

518
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: in his book that he later wrote, quote, when I

519
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 3: saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons,

520
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 3: and goods of every possible sort, for the first time,

521
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 3: I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people.

522
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: That such a potentially super rich country as ours had

523
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: been brought to a state of such poverty. It is

524
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: terrible to think about it.

525
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: And yet.

526
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 3: That lesson Kamala Harris hasn't learned, None of her left

527
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: wing little Marxist around her have learned. They just want

528
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: to promise people one dollar fish. And if it doesn't

529
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: work out and suddenly there's no fish, that's not their problem.

530
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 3: You know what they'll do. They'll blame the greedy fisherman.

531
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 3: Ben when you shut down your shop because you can't

532
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 3: afford to sell one dollar fish, They'll say, you're a greedy,

533
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 3: voracious capitalist, and why are you trying to deny the

534
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: hungry people they're fish? That, sadly is the same thing

535
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,840
Speaker 3: Stalin said, and you know what, if if Kamala were Stalin,

536
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 3: maybe she'd send you to the Gulac.

537
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: You look at the fact that in twenty twenty four

538
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 2: we are here at this point where it just seems

539
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 2: that the new strategy of the left. And I keep

540
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 2: saying it because I believe it. I think the Democratic

541
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: Party's dead. I think they're filled with communists and Marxists

542
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: and socialists masquerading as Democrats.

543
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,360
Speaker 1: I think that's another data point to that.

544
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: But when you look at this, it just seems like

545
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 2: their new game plan is, Okay, if we're down in

546
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: the polls, we got to buy bote votes from a sector.

547
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: How do we do it?

548
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: Last time it was all right, we'll just buy votes

549
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 2: from people that have student loans, right, And that worked

550
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 2: pretty well for them.

551
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was successful. They gave away a trillion dollars

552
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 3: they didn't have. It was illegal for them to give

553
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 3: They were lying about it, but they were counting on

554
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 3: young people being foolish and gullible and believing it, and

555
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 3: at least some did. And by the way, they're trying

556
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: to repeat that same scam again. They're counting on people

557
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: being even more gullible. You know, as the old saying goes,

558
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 3: there's no learning from the second kick of a mule.

559
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris kicked young people once and

560
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: they discovered they were lying with the t a dollar

561
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 3: student loan giveaway. They're trying to kick them a second time,

562
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 3: and they're hoping young voters are foolish enough to be

563
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 3: deceived yet again.

564
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,959
Speaker 1: And if they do go through with this.

565
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 2: I go back to Obamacare and when it was pretty

566
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 2: clear that you know, they weren't joking when they said

567
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: we won't know what's in the bill until we passed

568
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 2: the bill, right, and then they did, and then we

569
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,720
Speaker 2: saw our entire healthcare system up ended overnight. My worry

570
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: is this could happen that quickly as well, except with

571
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 2: even I think more catastrophic consequences. Because you look at

572
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 2: the big, big grocery stores. They're in business to make

573
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: money for their shareholders or private equity or families. Right,

574
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: We've already seen the squeezing out of the mom and

575
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: pop grocery stores because they couldn't compete with the prices

576
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: of the big dog. So now we have, you know,

577
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: very few grocers nationwide that have the mass majority of

578
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 2: the marketplace. But if Harris gets elected and really implements

579
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 2: this idea, you could see these grocery stores being shit

580
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 2: down left and right.

581
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 3: And by the way, it will not be uniformly distributed.

582
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: You know who would be hurt the most by Kamala's

583
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 3: proposal for price fixing a.

584
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 2: Food places where there's already quote food deserts and heavy

585
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 2: highly populated minority communities are those that are poor communities

586
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: as well.

587
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: My god, Ben, it's almost like you understand basic economics. Yeah,

588
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 3: Kamala doesn't know that.

589
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: Listen.

590
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 3: I know Kamala well. I served with her for many

591
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 3: years in the Senate. She has no idea, and you

592
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 3: and I didn't rehearse this. I didn't know you'd know that.

593
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 3: I just know you're a really bright guy who understands

594
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 3: the world, and so I was fairly confident you'd know that.

595
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: She doesn't. If I asked her that same question, she'd like,

596
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, what do you mean? And listen, understand,

597
00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 3: even with this price fixing, rich people will be by

598
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: and large are right whole foods, and fancy neighborhoods will

599
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 3: still have really expensive wine and cheese. You may remember

600
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: when Barack Obama was running for president. At one point

601
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: he said, have you seen the price of arugula? Which

602
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 3: which was a fairly amazing level of disconnectedness. All right,

603
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 3: I want to I want to test something. Ben, You

604
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: and I are both guys. I'm gonna guess I don't

605
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 3: know this, but I'm gonna guess you're not a huge

606
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 3: grocery shopper in the family. How much is a dozen eggs?

607
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: You're gonna laugh. I'm gonna go right now. The ones

608
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 3: that have to be quote cage free. They're about four

609
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 3: bucks at the moment, three seventy eight.

610
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 1: Okay, you look that up.

611
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 3: You didn't know.

612
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 2: No, you're gonna laugh that. This is I love to cook.

613
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 2: That's my I love to cook. That's why I'd start

614
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 2: a barbecue restaurant. So I actually enjoy going to the

615
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 2: grocery store.

616
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: All right.

617
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 3: So that's fascinating. So as I was sitting here, we're

618
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 3: getting ready to do this podcast. You may remember George

619
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 3: Herbert Walker Bush was famously lambasted because he didn't know

620
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 3: how much a gallon of milk was and he was

621
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 3: painted as this out of touch wealthy guy. Right before

622
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 3: we started recording this pod, I googled how much for

623
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 3: a dozen eggs, and I think the average price right

624
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 3: now is three dollars an eight sense, but I wasn't

625
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 3: googling the cage free organic, you know, brown funky eggs.

626
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 3: I will say, as a guy, this may shock you,

627
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 3: but I am not typically the grocery shopper in our family.

628
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 3: I will go grocery shopping on occasion, but it's usually

629
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,359
Speaker 3: because my daughter is cooking a meal and she's like, Dad,

630
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 3: will you get me some pasta and tomatoes and garlic,

631
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 3: And She'll give me a list and I'll go, I'll

632
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 3: go with my list and get it. I do go

633
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 3: occasionally get fruit. I like going to the produce thing

634
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: and getting some nectarines and plums and grapes and cherries,

635
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 3: and so I'll just kind of collect that. I bought

636
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 3: a dozen eggs a number of times before, but I

637
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 3: have no freaking clue how much they are. I mean,

638
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 3: I just I don't buy eggs very often, and so

639
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: it's just not it's not front of mine to me.

640
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:59,319
Speaker 3: But I will say the idea that you can just

641
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 3: magic change it. By the way, Joe Biden did this

642
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,359
Speaker 3: same thing right before the last election, and the price

643
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 3: of gasoline. So the price of gasoline has risen massively

644
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 3: under Joe Biden Kamala Harris. Now this was an intended effect.

645
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 3: They want the price of gasoline higher, but as they

646
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 3: get closer to an election, they realize, oh crap, this

647
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,759
Speaker 3: is a problem because it turns out voters don't like

648
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 3: paying more at the pump or paying more at the

649
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 3: grocery store. So right before election day they need a

650
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 3: short term fix. So what Joe Biden did last time.

651
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 3: Number one, he released a bunch of oil from the

652
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 3: Strategic Petroleum Reserve that is designed to be there for emergencies,

653
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,280
Speaker 3: and he did that to increase supply, impacting price because

654
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:45,240
Speaker 3: more supply lowers price. But he also, if you remember,

655
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 3: Joe Biden attacked the greedy gas station owners, which is

656
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 3: an economic matter. Is about as ludicrous as anything you

657
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,240
Speaker 3: could come up with. Look, if you're owning a gas station,

658
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 3: most gas day owners or small business owners, they're often

659
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: they own maybe one or two gas stations, many of

660
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 3: them in Houston, I suspect across the country. Many of

661
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 3: them are immigrants. Many of them know this is their business.

662
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 3: Their family works, they're often their kids are working at

663
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 3: the gas station too. They are not price makers when

664
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 3: it comes to gasoline. They are price takers. They don't

665
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 3: have sufficient market influence to set the price markedly different

666
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: from what the price is being set by global supply

667
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 3: and demand. But yet Joe Biden, and by the way,

668
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 3: the useful idiots in the media, he demagogue those mean,

669
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 3: greedy capitalists that own gas stations. They're just charging you

670
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:51,800
Speaker 3: seven bucks a gallon because they're mean, because they're greedy.

671
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 3: And by the way, the premise of this was that

672
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 3: during Donald Trump, apparently those capitalists were not greedy. They

673
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 3: didn't want money, and it was only when Democrats came

674
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 3: to office that they wanted to make a profit. Look,

675
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: every business owner would love to sell their goods for

676
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 3: a higher price, but it is driven by the cost

677
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 3: of their inputs, and it's driven by demand. Those are

678
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: the factors they're facing. And what she is doing is

679
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,919
Speaker 3: the same thing that when the price of food has

680
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:22,800
Speaker 3: skyrocketed because of her policies, she can't take the blame

681
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,320
Speaker 3: for that, so instead she says, the mean mom and

682
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 3: pop that owns the little grocery store, they're just robbing you.

683
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 3: So I'm going to order them to stop robbing you.

684
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 3: And as you noted, the people who are going to

685
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,919
Speaker 3: pay the most are people in low income neighborhoods where

686
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 3: the stores there are often barely scraping by, and if

687
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,920
Speaker 3: you force them to sell things at below cost, you're

688
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 3: going to drive them out of business, and you're gonna

689
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: end up having people having much fewer choices and real

690
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 3: shortages and scarcity because and you end up in the

691
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 3: scenario where you mandate, let's go back to my fish

692
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 3: hypothetical one dollar fish when the cost of producing a

693
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 3: fish is let's say two dollars, you end up with

694
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 3: no fish because you bankrupt the producers or people decide

695
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:15,720
Speaker 3: to do something else. And it's why in the Soviet

696
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: Union are in Venezuela. Look Venezuela. Venezuela used to be

697
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 3: the third wealthiest country in the world per capita in

698
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty. The United States was number one, New Zealand

699
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 3: was number two. Venezuela was number three. You look at

700
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 3: what Maduro has done, you look at what socialism has done.

701
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 3: And by the way, Maduro in Venezuela promised we're going

702
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,320
Speaker 3: to put in place price controls to stop inflation. He

703
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 3: had the same proposal. Kamala Harris had inflation skyrocket and

704
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 3: I think it's something like three hundred percent in Venezuela,

705
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 3: and people are starving now in Venezuela because the food disappeared.

706
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 3: That's how economically illiterate and disastrous.

707
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: Her proposal is.

708
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:00,880
Speaker 2: I want to tell you a quick about our friends

709
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 2: over at Patriot Mobile. I am proud to partner with

710
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile because they're on the front lines fighting for

711
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: our First and Second Amendment rights, fighting for the sanctity

712
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 2: of life, and fighting for our military. Our first responders

713
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: are wounded warriors. They are there helping them each and

714
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 2: every month. Now, how do they do that by taking

715
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 2: a part of your bill and no extra cost to

716
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 2: you and giving it back to these organizations and causes.

717
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile was actually started more than ten years ago

718
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 2: by a group of conservatives who realized when they were

719
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 2: paying their cell phone bill a big mobile, their money

720
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: was going to radical democratic causes, candidates and organizations organizations

721
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: that were paying for abortions. If you don't want your

722
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: money going to those types of organizations and going to

723
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 2: companies that are actively fighting against your family values, then

724
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: take a stand for conservative causes and put America first.

725
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 2: By switching to Patriot Mobile today, you're going to get

726

00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 2: to switch to another topic Senat that we mentioned earlier,

744
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 2: and this is another cautionary tel A warning and the

745
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 2: border doesn't seem to give a crap. A Palestinian on

746
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: the terror watch list was arrested on the southern US border.

747
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. It's an individual named Omar Shaheda who

748
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 3: is accused of explosives and arms use and was caught

749
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 3: in Santa Theresa, New Mexico. Omar Shaheda is a Palestinian

750
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 3: from Juday and Samaria, and he is on the terror

751
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 3: watch list for alleged prior use of explosives at arms.

752
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 3: He was arrested. The New York Post reported, and let

753
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 3: me read from the memo that has been leaked showing

754
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 3: the arrest notification of the suspected Palestinian terrorist. The arrest

755
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 3: notification says, on August twelfth, twenty twenty four, Border Patrol

756
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 3: agents assigned to the Sanatresa Border Patrol Station encountered a

757
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:55,800
Speaker 3: person with a terror screening data sent record. At approximately

758
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 3: one ten am, agents apprehended a group of seven individuals

759
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,200
Speaker 3: who legally entered the United States from Mexico near Santa Theresa,

760
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:08,720
Speaker 3: New Mexico. During processing, research revealed that Omar nawaf Issa

761
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,360
Speaker 3: Shaheda was a possible match to a terror watch list record.

762
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 3: Border Patrol agents at the National Targeting Center generated an

763
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 3: NTC event. Shejeda was confirmed to be a positive match

764
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 3: and is watch listed as a Category fifteen used explosives

765
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 3: slash arms. Global Appis revealed that Scheheda traveled from Madrid,

766
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 3: Spain to Bogoa, Columbia on a flight with a connecting

767
00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,400
Speaker 3: flight to Panama City, and that Scheheda arrived in San Salvador,

768
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 3: El Salvador on a flight and Sjeda is currently being held.

769
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 3: He was encountered as a single adult. Now this is

770
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:04,239
Speaker 3: a pattern. Weeks earlier, three other suspected Palestinian terrorists were

771
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,280
Speaker 3: caught at the California border. Those and we talked about

772
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 3: those three on this podcast previously. One of them had

773
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: a photo on their phone including pictures of a masked

774
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:18,719
Speaker 3: man holding an AK forty seven rifle Kamala Harris. The

775
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 3: borders are is responsible for an open border that continues

776
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 3: to be a magnet inviting terrorists to come into this country,

777
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 3: and in fact, an alert that was issued by the

778
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 3: Border Patrol said quote individuals inspired by or reacting to

779
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 3: the current Israel Hamas conflict may attempt to travel to

780
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 3: or from the area of hostilities in the Middle east

781
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:52,839
Speaker 3: via circuitous transit across the southwest border. This is what

782
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's open border is doing to us.

783
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 2: You look at this and you put it together with

784
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 2: the fact that they say she's not the borders are,

785
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 2: and then she says, oh, I'm doing everything I can

786
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 2: to protect you at the border. It doesn't match up.

787
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 2: It's just lie after lie after lie after lie. And

788
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 2: you look at these gang leaders that are arrested, You

789
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 2: look at the children that are being assaulted. Unfortunately, now

790
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: it's on a weekly basis. We also know, and I

791
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 2: think we should just remind people that the system is

792
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 2: so broken now that the administration has just been busted

793
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: handing kids over to non family members, okay, non family

794
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 2: members a lost track. Within a month, a third of

795
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 2: the kids are hand over to their quote sponsors who

796
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,320
Speaker 2: are non family members, with no response and no follow

797
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: up from the federal government. So, in other words, a

798
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,319
Speaker 2: handed child over to a non family member, they call

799
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,319
Speaker 2: thirty days later to check in, No one answers, no

800
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: one's talking to them, and they can't find the kid.

801
00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 2: And that's apparently happening with at least a third of

802
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 2: the kids that they're bringing into this country.

803
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: That is pure evil. It is pure evil.

804
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you that the New York Times is

805
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 3: even reporting on this, and they're reporting Javier Bessera, who

806
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 3: is the Secretary of Health and Human Services. He has

807
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 3: no background in healthcare, He has no background. He's not

808
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 3: a physician, he doesn't know anything about healthcare. But what

809
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 3: he is is a radical left wing lawyer who was

810
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 3: the Attorney General of California. And that's who Joe Biden

811
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris wanted in charge of HHS, and AHHS is

812
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 3: the one that deals with unaccompanied miners. And we've seen

813
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 3: an explosion of unaccompanied miners coming into this country because

814
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 3: Joe Biden Kamala Harris opened up the border and it

815
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,680
Speaker 3: ended up with a lot of little boys and a

816
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 3: lot of little girls being trafficked in by human traffickers,

817
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 3: being abused, many of them physically, many of them sexually.

818
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 3: But then when they get here, the Biden administration had

819
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 3: a problem, and they had a problem because they wanted

820
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 3: to avoid kids in cages. They had made a huge

821
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 3: deal of it under Donald Trump. Never mind that the

822
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 3: actual cages were built by Barack Obama, but they wanted

823
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 3: to avoid the bad optics of having kids in cages

824
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,800
Speaker 3: under Joe Biden. So what they did is they began

825
00:47:19,160 --> 00:47:24,399
Speaker 3: releasing young people and releasing them to adults who who

826
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 3: couldn't pass basic background checks. And when people in the

827
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 3: system said, wait, we don't know who these adults are.

828
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 3: We don't know if they're bad people. We don't know

829
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: if they're looking for kids to work in child labor

830
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,040
Speaker 3: and slave labor. We don't know if they're violent. We

831
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 3: don't know if they want to abuse the kids.

832
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 1: You know, what have you hear?

833
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 3: Bessera said, shut up and release them faster. And so

834
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 3: let me read from the Wall Street Journal. This is

835
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 3: an article on July eighth and the Wall Street Journal.

836
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty one, when the new Biden administration was

837
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:53,960
Speaker 3: struggling to cope with a sudden influx of unaccompanied migrant

838
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 3: children at the US Mexico border, the government repeatedly overrode

839
00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: the concerns of lower lefele workers who warned about placing

840
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 3: them in certain households. Documents and interviews show quote, it

841
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 3: does not appear safe for the minor to be released

842
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 3: to a home environment that was not fully assessed. A

843
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,040
Speaker 3: caseworker road about a child slated to live in a

844
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 3: hostile like home in Florida with at least three adults.

845
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,240
Speaker 3: A few days later, unofficial dismissed the recommendation to reject

846
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 3: the proposed guardian. According to internal government memos, at another

847
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: facility in Pomona, California, about thirty miles east of Los Angeles,

848
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 3: more than one hundred children that summer were sent to

849
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 3: temporary guardians who were issued denials early in the process

850
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,720
Speaker 3: by case coordinators. According to a review of internal government

851
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 3: data that tracks on accompanied children, emails and other communications

852
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 3: and interviews with caseworkers, about two dozen more denials were

853
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 3: overturned because of clerical errors or issues such as missing

854
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 3: fingerprints that were resolved, record show, but many of the

855
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 3: others were approved with scant details explaining why, and stunningly,

856
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal couldn't determine what happened to the

857
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 3: children after they left the facility. Joe Biden and Kamala

858
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 3: Harris have lost over eighty thousand children that came as

859
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 3: unaccompanied miters to this country. They don't know where they are,

860
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 3: they don't know who has them, they don't know what

861
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 3: has happened to the kids. And you know what Kamala

862
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 3: Harris has zero interest in finding the answer to that.

863
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,759
Speaker 3: She will never talk about it. Mind you, she was

864
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 3: the borders are, she still is, and yet losing eighty

865
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 3: thousand children apparently doesn't concern her at all.

866
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and there doesn't seem to be accountability for this either.

867
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: Is there anything that Congress can do now, knowing what

868
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 2: we just learned in that report.

869
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,280
Speaker 3: There's a lot Congress can do, but in the Senate,

870
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,720
Speaker 3: the Senate will do none of it. And the reason

871
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 3: is the Democrats, who are in the majority of the

872
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 3: Senate do not care. I've raised this issue repeatedly in

873
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 3: the Judiciary Committee. You know what, Democrats in charge Judiciary.

874
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,720
Speaker 3: We have not had a single hearing in four years

875
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 3: on the crisis at our southern border. We've had multiple

876
00:50:15,920 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 3: hearings on the Democrats desired to grant amnesty to illegal aliens.

877
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 3: We have not had a hearing in Judiciary on the

878
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 3: eighty thousand kids that Joe Biden Kamala Harris has lost

879
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 3: because the Democrats want to cover it up. And listen,

880
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 3: we know that some significant number of those individuals are

881
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 3: in child labor work sites, are being abused, are being

882
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 3: physically abused, are being sexually abused. If you look for example,

883
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go back to the Wall Street Journal article

884
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 3: that says following an internal investigation, the Inspector General for

885
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 3: the US Department of Health and Human Services, which oversaw

886
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 3: a network of shelters caring for ant accompanied minors, found

887
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: gaps in the process to screen temporary guardians. It said

888
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 3: in February that sixteen percent sixteen percent of records for

889
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,840
Speaker 3: children who were released to sponsors in March and April

890
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one lacked evidence that a required safety check

891
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 3: was conducted.

892
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 1: Quote.

893
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 3: Although well intentioned, these sites were unregulated and unsafed, said

894
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,360
Speaker 3: Niha Desai, the senior director of Immigration at the National

895
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 3: Center for Youth Law. There was enormous pressure placed on

896
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 3: the sites to rapidly release children from custody, and the

897
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 3: Biden Harris administration pressed them to release. At these emergency shelters,

898
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 3: case workers were told to discharge children within ten to

899
00:51:44,560 --> 00:51:50,000
Speaker 3: fourteen days, and so they released kids without knowing if

900
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 3: the people they were giving them too were dangerous, without

901
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:59,359
Speaker 3: knowing what was happening, and yet tragically the result is

902
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,440
Speaker 3: many kids suffered horrific mistreatment.

903
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 1: It is an election your issue.

904
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 2: And this is what I hope the Trump administration, the

905
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 2: Trump team, i should say, is going to do, is

906
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 2: to lay out much of what we have laid out

907
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: here for the American people to hear because it is

908
00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 2: such shocking news when you listen to the reports, and

909
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 2: this is reports from our own government that are stating this.

910
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 2: People are losing their jobs because they're trying to protect

911
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: the kids. And they said, if you don't move them

912
00:52:27,560 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 2: through the system fast enough for us, then you can

913
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 2: find another job.

914
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 3: You're done here. I'll find some politics over people. And

915
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,800
Speaker 3: that is the consistent pattern of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris.

916
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 3: It's always, always always politics. And if people have to die,

917
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:47,040
Speaker 3: if women have to be sexually assaulted, if children have

918
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 3: to be brutalized, they're willing to look the other way

919
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 3: if they believe there's a political benefit for the Democrats.

920
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: Don't forget. We do this show Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

921
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: We do a week in review of what you may
