Look, they have no navy, they've lost 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: their space command, they've lost their ability to find twelve 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:18,960 Speaker 1: digit grids, so naturally they're still firing drones and missiles. 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: Unconditional surrender means that all those weapons systems are taking 7 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: away that command stands down. 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you. 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and we've got one big story 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 4: for you.

It's the forty seven Morning Update and it 18 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 4: starts right now. Story number one, there's a new Fox 19 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 4: News survey that that thirty eight percent of voters say 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 4: it would be good thing. It would be a good 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 4: thing for the US to move away from capitalism and 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 4: towards socialism. That's an all time high. Sixty one percent 23 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 4: view socialism negatively. 24 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: Did you hear me? 25 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 4: Thirty eight percent of voters say they would be a 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 4: good thing for the US to move away from capitalism 27 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 4: and towards socialism. How do we overcome that? How do 28 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 4: you think we got that? I mean, excuse me not 29 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 4: thirty seven? Thirty eight percent of voters say it would 30 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 4: be a good thing for the US to move away 31 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 4: from capitalism and towards socialism. Sixty one percent view socialism negative. 32 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 4: But you still have a large number. And by the way, 33 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 4: the shift they say maybe tied. Maybe divided views on 34 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 4: capitalism itself, as voters are split over whether capitalism in 35 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 4: the United States is working well. Fifty say it's working 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 4: very or somewhat well, but nearly as many this will 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 4: be your lefts forty nine percent say it's working, not 38 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 4: vary or not. 39 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 3: At all well. 40 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 4: That that can explain to you the rise of Mundani, 41 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 4: for example, right in AOCS like they have, they have 42 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 4: gone under the core belief and the core point in 43 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 4: the attack that and the obsession that America is somehow 44 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 4: evil in its existence, and that capitalism is the drug 45 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 4: that is evil in America and that if we were 46 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 4: all just somehow the same. Because part of this is 47 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: the Left knows that a lot of their voters are 48 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 4: poor and they want to convince them that the system's 49 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,839 Speaker 4: working against them right, not for them, and so they're like, hey, 50 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: help us take from the rich. This is the Robin 51 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 4: man like syndrome, as I call it, where you get 52 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: a lot of people that do great because they work 53 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 4: their a to blast is off, and you have a 54 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 4: lot of people that don't. And then they're like, why 55 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 4: I want what they have, but they're not want to 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 4: do the work or study hard, to go to school 57 00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 4: or whatever it may be. And so there's a jealousy. 58 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 4: And then you have politicians come around. They're like they're like, hey, 59 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 4: there's enough of you guys are angry and jealous that 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 4: I can convince you that you're not failing. But the 61 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 4: system is against you and rigged against you. And it's 62 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,080 Speaker 4: not your fault you didn't go to college. It's not 63 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 4: your fault that you're a pothead, it's not your fault 64 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 4: of your drug addic it's not your fault that you're 65 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 4: just lazy. 66 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 3: I mean, I look, I see this in life. 67 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: Now I'm forty four, justin and like, it's very interesting 68 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 4: now how many people in my forties that I used 69 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 4: to be friends with will will actually like come after 70 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: me on social media, like not call me, not text me, 71 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 4: but will attack me because they are, I guess, frustrated 72 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 4: that I'm successful, and they're like, well, you don't understand 73 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 4: the working man, the hard man. I'm like, dude, I 74 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: work my tail off like while you were, while you 75 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 4: were trying to get one of them, I said. We 76 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 4: had one of those pretty blunk conversations one day and 77 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 4: I said to him, I was like, he was like, 78 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 4: you know, well, you don't understand what it's like struggle 79 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 4: like I do. That's why I work so hard. And 80 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 4: we both came from the same place. We both didn't 81 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: grow up on third base or second base or on 82 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: first base. Okay, like you and I both knew we 83 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: need to pay we were gonna have to pay for college. 84 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 4: You and I both knew that we were gonna have 85 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 4: to get there on a college scholarship if we were 86 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 4: going to go. And the difference between you and I 87 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: is I was out there busting my tail, working sixty 88 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 4: hours a week, teaching tennis in the summer while you 89 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 4: were trying to get your beer plate on the wall 90 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 4: at Flying Saucer. And if you know what Flying Saucer is, 91 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 4: it's a beer house. They have like X number of 92 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 4: brews on tap. It's insane, like over one hundred and 93 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 4: if you drink every beer and you can't, and it's 94 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 4: like there's rules on it, like so that you have 95 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 4: to come back every week so you don't just you know, 96 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 4: get belligerently drunk. But you can get a plate with 97 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: your name on the wall. And I'm like, dude, that 98 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 4: was your biggest accomplishment in your twenties, was like getting 99 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 4: your beer plate on the wall at Flying Saucer. There's 100 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: a difference between my work ethic and your work ethic, 101 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 4: like a a very very big difference. And now you're 102 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 4: mad and you become a liberal because you somehow think 103 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 4: that like the systems against you and rigged. No, it's 104 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 4: because you didn't work hard. You've got multiple mug shots 105 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 4: for being an idiot, like not committing major crimes, like 106 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,359 Speaker 4: just being like just doing stupid stuff like a dui, 107 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 4: and and so that has hindered you as well in 108 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: your development, Like you made some stupid decisions, being arrogant 109 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 4: with people you worked with, and you got fired from 110 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 4: jobs because of insubordination. That again, and some of that 111 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 4: came back to the drinking issues. Like like this is 112 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 4: there is a real interesting moment happening here in this 113 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 4: country whereas the left is saying to people like that, hey, 114 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 4: it's somehow the system that screwed you, and that's why 115 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 4: you're making all these bad decisions. And that's where the 116 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 4: mundanis and aocs and all these liberal mayors in different 117 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 4: liberal cities like Memphi in New Orleans and Detroit and 118 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,159 Speaker 4: Baltimore come in because they figured out that there's enough 119 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 4: lazy people that they can get to vote form that 120 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 4: they just give them free stuff. It's modern day slavery, right, 121 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 4: like I'll feed you, but I'm not going to help 122 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 4: you get out of poverty, because if I help you 123 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: get out of poverty, then. 124 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 3: You don't need me anymore. 125 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 4: One of the biggest reasons why the Democratic Party tried 126 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 4: to destroy Donald Trump through impeachment in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, 127 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,559 Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen is because they understood the threat 128 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 4: that Donald Trump was to the minority voters. Why do 129 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 4: you think the Democrats let so many illegal immigrants into 130 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 4: this country? Because Donald Trump had completely decimated the Democratic 131 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: Party's control of the African American community, and you had 132 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: African American unemployment rates the lowest in history when Donald 133 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 4: Trump was present in his first term, youah the lowest 134 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 4: unemployment rate for African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos. And 135 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 4: so what the Democratic Party realized was if this keeps 136 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 4: up and think goodness, COVID came in for them and 137 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 4: saved them politically in many ways because COVID, you know, really, 138 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 4: as you know, hurt the economy in a major way 139 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 4: and that stopped allowed that Trump like MAGA movement, and 140 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 4: I think in many ways cost Trumps presidency his first 141 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 4: time because of what happened with COVID, and it just 142 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 4: shut down the whole country. 143 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 3: And they that was the gift to the Democratic Party. 144 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 4: But the Democratic Party was losing their base because what 145 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 4: Donald Trump said was I don't want you to live 146 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 4: in poverty your whole life. I don't want you to 147 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: live on food stamps your whole life. 148 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: I want to. 149 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 4: Empower you to pay for your own stuff. But not 150 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 4: because I'm like, don't want to give you help. It's 151 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 4: because I want you to live a better life. I 152 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: don't want you to live in government housing. I don't 153 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 4: want you to be like in a hud house your 154 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 4: whole life. I don't want you to have to depend 155 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 4: on handouts to survive. I want you to be able 156 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 4: to get your kids in a good school, not a 157 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 4: failing school. And one of the ways that Democrats keep 158 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 4: Americans down is by giving their kids horrific educational quality. 159 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:23,559 Speaker 4: Horrific educational quality the level of Democrat cities education quality level. 160 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 4: It is failing virtually nationwide, in every school district in 161 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 4: a major city where Democrats control it. 162 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 3: And the question is why. 163 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 4: I think it's designed deliberately, because if kids are uneducated, 164 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,880 Speaker 4: then they are going to end up depending on them 165 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 4: the Democratic Party for survival after. 166 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 3: They fail in school. 167 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 4: If you empower a kid to be smart and get 168 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 4: a great education. 169 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: Okay, if you. 170 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: If you have a child succeed and get on their own, 171 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 4: the chances that child, at some point in their life 172 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 4: becomes a Republican are very high. And the Democratic Party 173 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 4: understands that if you empower, if these kids grow up 174 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 4: and we don't own them in poverty and own them 175 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 4: because of their failures, that we've created an environment for 176 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 4: them to fail with failing schools. Then that is self 177 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 4: fulfilling prophecy, Like, Okay, they'll vote for us, and their 178 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 4: kids will vote for us, and they'll never get out 179 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 4: of the ghetto, and they'll always need us for their 180 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 4: food and for their lights and their heat and their 181 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,439 Speaker 4: hut housing and their government aid and their government healthcare. 182 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 4: Right Like, That's one of the reasons why Obamacare was 183 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 4: so important to the Democratic Party, because it was a 184 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 4: way to I would say in chain Democratic voters to them. 185 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: You can't vote against me.
