Speaker 1: According to official data from the United Kingdom Office for
Speaker 1: National Statistics, the most popular name in England and Wales
Speaker 1: this year is Muhammad again for the third straight year. Well,
Speaker 1: Reverend Chris Wickland from the Confessing Anglican Church joins us, Now,
Speaker 1: my friend, what did you think about this?
Speaker 2: If I'm honest to you, it didn't really surprise me.
Speaker 2: This is being an ongoing issue. There's been new statistics
Speaker 2: that have just come out recently that there are now
Speaker 2: hotspots in Britain where English is now considered the second
Speaker 2: language with children in schools, and there are some schools
Speaker 2: where it's over fifty percent of the students speak English
Speaker 2: as a second language. So we know that this immigration
Speaker 2: issue is ongoing. Basically, the rise of Islam in Pingsburg,
Speaker 2: Britain is growing and growing.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
Speaker 4: Good Thursday morning. It's so nice to have you with
Speaker 4: us in the forty seven Morning Update, and we've got
Speaker 4: two big stories for you. After months of Democrats trying
Speaker 4: to untermine the Save Act, new polling data shows it's
Speaker 4: not working and right now there is still a massive
Speaker 4: majority of Americans that support the Save Act, So can
Speaker 4: it get done before November? We break it down for you. Also,
Speaker 4: Democrats had massive defeats by the Socialists and Communists and
Speaker 4: Marxist candidates that ran against the quote establishment Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: So how much money did they waste trying to save
Speaker 4: the establishment candidates? It is staggering. And what does it
Speaker 4: mean now? Well, the Democratic Party is dead and the
Speaker 4: Marxists they've taken over. It's the forty seven Morning Update
Speaker 4: and it starts right now.
Speaker 3: Story number one.
Speaker 4: So let's start with the Save Act. You know, where
Speaker 4: you have to show an ID to actually vote in
Speaker 4: an election in this country, a federal election. It's a
Speaker 4: pretty obvious idea that makes a lot of sense. Why
Speaker 4: is it that Congress is still refusing to act. Well,
Speaker 4: there are many that are actually trying to undermine the
Speaker 4: Save Act, hoping that the majority of Americans will disappear
Speaker 4: from supporting it so then they don't actually have to
Speaker 4: do anything with it. We've got new pulling that up
Speaker 4: that has just come out. And here is what the
Speaker 4: American people are saying. And I'll get ready because I
Speaker 4: promise you Washington's still going to try to not listen
Speaker 4: to you yet again. A majority of American voters continue
Speaker 4: to support the Save Act. It's a simple bill requiring
Speaker 4: proof of US citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
Speaker 4: That's what it does. That's it, and that's why so
Speaker 4: many Americans still support it. Now after months of those
Speaker 4: on the left trying to destroy the Save Act, tear
Speaker 4: it down, say it's racist or bigoted, or it's trying
Speaker 4: to suppress minority voters, however they want to describe it,
Speaker 4: guess what, the American people still are not falling for it.
Speaker 4: According to a new Rasmusen survey, sixty two percent of
Speaker 4: likely voters support the Save Act, including forty six percent
Speaker 4: who strongly support it, while thirty three percent oppose the
Speaker 4: bill and twenty two percent strongly oppose. Rasmusen says support
Speaker 4: levels have changed little since May, meaning that the attacks
Speaker 4: in May, June, July, yeah, and now we're in August,
Speaker 4: they are not landing that punch with voters. The American
Speaker 4: people believe that you should be a uss and to vote,
Speaker 4: and you should have to prove that you are a
Speaker 4: United States citizen to register to vote, and nothing that
Speaker 4: they've done so far has been able to turn the tide. Now,
Speaker 4: the bill, also known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act,
Speaker 4: has already passed the House, but is not advanced in
Speaker 4: the Senate. Even with the Republicans in charge. Support split
Speaker 4: sharply by the way along party lines. The pulling down
Speaker 4: as shows eighty four percent of Republicans back this bill,
Speaker 4: forty five percent of dim Democrats. And here's the most interesting.
Speaker 4: Almost sixty percent of independent voters say you should not
Speaker 4: be able to register to vote in a US election
Speaker 4: without showing proof of citizenship. Yeah, that's a big, big number. Now,
Speaker 4: support also varies by pass vote. Eighty eight percent of
Speaker 4: those who voted for Donald Trump in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 4: for example, they back to say that. No surprise there.
Speaker 4: Fifty three percent of Kamala Harris voters oppose it. Again,
Speaker 4: no surprise there. But the poll reveals a high level
Speaker 4: of agreement on citizenship requirements for voting. And that's the
Speaker 4: part that Washington should listen to. The most. Eighty two
Speaker 4: percent of voters said only US citizens should be allowed
Speaker 4: to vote in US elections. I'll say that again. Eighty
Speaker 4: two percent of voters say only United States citizens should
Speaker 4: be allowed to vote in our US elections now, including
Speaker 4: majorities across every every party and racial group surveyed as well,
Speaker 4: I'll give you these numbers. Eighty nine percent of Republicans,
Speaker 4: seventy seven percent of Democrats, seventy nine percent of independence,
Speaker 4: eighty seven percent of white voters, sixty seven percent of
Speaker 4: black voters, seventy four percent of Hispanic voters, and seventy
Speaker 4: five percent of other minority voters. Now, what is the
Speaker 4: big takeaway there, Well, the race bating is not working
Speaker 4: among minorities. They overwhelming almost eight out of ten say
Speaker 4: they support having to show that they are an American
Speaker 4: citizen to vote in our elections. Think about that, because
Speaker 4: the Democrats, to try to undermine the Save Act, have
Speaker 4: said it's racist to ask a minority to show that
Speaker 4: they are a citizen of this country. In fact, more
Speaker 4: than half of voters fifty six percent said it is
Speaker 4: at least somewhat likely that non citizens are illegally registered
Speaker 4: to vote in their state, including thirty three percent who
Speaker 4: said it's very likely. Now, among that group, ninety two
Speaker 4: percent want the Senate to pass the Save Act. Seventy
Speaker 4: five percent of Republicans consider it at least somewhat likely.
Speaker 4: Compare with forty four percent of Democrats and fifty three
Speaker 4: percent of Independence that believe that illegal immigrants are voting
Speaker 4: in our elections. Here's something else that's interesting. If you
Speaker 4: break it down by sex, more men than women sixty
Speaker 4: two percent to fifty two percent, said it is at
Speaker 4: least somewhat likely that non citizens are illegally registered in
Speaker 4: their state. The majorities of both men and women also
Speaker 4: support the Save Act that sixty five percent and fifty
Speaker 4: nine percent for women, respectively. Now here's the part that matters.
Speaker 4: Time is running short for the proposal to affect the
Speaker 4: November elections. That's part of the reason why there has
Speaker 4: been stalling. Democrats don't want this, and the Republicans that
Speaker 4: hate Donald Trump in the Senate who lost their reelection
Speaker 4: campaigns trying to ticket to the president also don't want
Speaker 4: the Save Act to have any implications for the midterm
Speaker 4: elections coming up. That is obviously messed up. Senator Rick Scott,
Speaker 4: Republican from Florida, told Newsmax on Tuesday that Senate Republicans
Speaker 4: can still pass core pieces of the Save Act before
Speaker 4: the November midterms. Scott also urged the Republicans to force
Speaker 4: final congressional approval of the legislation requiring voter identification and
Speaker 4: proof of citizenship through either budget reconciliation or a talking filibuster.
Speaker 4: I've been an advocate for that for quite some time.
Speaker 4: He also went on to say that Senate Republicans should
Speaker 4: not allow the measure to languish as the chamber prepares
Speaker 4: for its August recess. Scott's push comes as the bill
Speaker 4: is again stalled in the Senate, where Republicans are in charge,
Speaker 4: despite two years of House passed versions and backing from
Speaker 4: President Donald Trump. Now, this polling data shows us one thing.
Speaker 4: No matter how much you try to undermine and slander
Speaker 4: the simple idea of having to be a US citizen
Speaker 4: and showing proof that you're assistant to register to vote
Speaker 4: in this country, Well, the American people they still want
Speaker 4: to save act at an overwhelmingly large number. This is bipartisan.
Speaker 4: And the question now is why on earth are the
Speaker 4: Republicans in the Senate not moving this forward. The answer, unfortunately,
Speaker 4: is sad. There's just a handful of them that hate
Speaker 4: Donald Trump more than they love this country. And that's
Speaker 4: why we're having this conversation right now. Next story Number two,
Speaker 4: we had an election. It was a big one that
Speaker 4: happened around the country and it was a primary that
Speaker 4: was going to tell us what was coming moving forward
Speaker 4: with the Democratic Party. Well, the Democratic Party, my friends,
Speaker 4: it is dead. They have been taken over by the communists, socialists, Marxists.
Speaker 4: Some call them the DSA, the Democratic Socialists of a Mayora,
Speaker 4: but to be clear, they're not socialists, they're communists, they
Speaker 4: are Marxists. And now we know how much the Democratic
Speaker 4: Party was afraid of them. We now have learned that
Speaker 4: the establishment Democrats spent more than sixty three point nine
Speaker 4: million trying to take down Mohammed Abdul l said, yes,
Speaker 4: the radical extremist Marxists of the Democratic Party. The Democrats
Speaker 4: in Washington spent over sixty million in support of Representative
Speaker 4: Hailey Stevens and her bid for the US Michigan Senate
Speaker 4: nomination and the Democratic Party and it still wasn't enough.
Speaker 4: Now the takeaway is this, the Democratic Party is dead.
Speaker 4: They have completely been overrun by the Marxist socialists and
Speaker 4: the communists. And this primary picking is getting worse, not
Speaker 4: better for Democratic candidates, even those that were extreme progressives.
Speaker 4: They have been replaced by the radical Marxists, the communists
Speaker 4: who are saying that America is evil, that America is
Speaker 4: a place that should not be celebrated, that America is
Speaker 4: a country that needs to in essence be overthrown from within.
Speaker 4: The candidates that are winning the primaries now are the
Speaker 4: ones that say get rid of the Supreme Court, or
Speaker 4: get rid of the presidency, or get rid of Congress.
Speaker 4: Certainly they're in favor of getting rid of law and order. Now,
Speaker 4: this radical agenda of abdul l Said and many others
Speaker 4: are seeing a record amount of outside spending coming in
Speaker 4: to try to stop them, and it is not working
Speaker 4: at all, and that's why Democrats are freaking out now.
Speaker 4: Stevens has seen a majority of AD support targeting the primary.
Speaker 4: Sixty three point nine million, seventy eight percent of all
Speaker 4: spending targeting the primary went towards supporting Hailey's Stevens against
Speaker 4: El said he has seen zo point five million in
Speaker 4: AD support. That is nothing compared to the sixty three
Speaker 4: point nine million dollars that was spent to support Stevens.
Speaker 4: This is truly incredible. Now, the pro Israel organization APAX
Speaker 4: spent the most of any group backing Stevens with more
Speaker 4: than thirty million in spinning over the past year. That
Speaker 4: funding came via United Democracy Project, doubling the mounted spent
Speaker 4: to defeat former Democratic Representative Jamal Bowman of New York
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four. Just to put it in perspective, now,
Speaker 4: stevens bid was heavily supported also by the leadership of
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party. That's the second takeaway. The Senate Minority
Speaker 4: leader Chuck Schumer, for example, was all in. The New
Speaker 4: York Times wrote in June that Schumer had asked party
Speaker 4: donors to support Stevens heavily, calling her the quote strongest
Speaker 4: candidate and spawned efforts giving her a sizable edge from
Speaker 4: big spinning Democratic donors. Well, in spite of the record spending,
Speaker 4: Stevens could not match el said on the campaign trail
Speaker 4: and what he was selling. The public health officials toured
Speaker 4: the state with a cast of far left supporters, including
Speaker 4: Hassan Piker, who literally said that America deserved nine to
Speaker 4: eleven and that played well in the minority Muslim community
Speaker 4: all across the state of Michigan. You out on top
Speaker 4: of that Vermont Center. Bernie Sanders coming in New York
Speaker 4: Representative AOC, and that was the trifecta of the radical
Speaker 4: left taking over now. El said also brought in more
Speaker 4: contributions to his own campaign than Stevens. The preliminary FEC
Speaker 4: reports show that l Saez raids about fourteen point four
Speaker 4: million to Stevens nine point nine. The enthusiasm from Democratic
Speaker 4: Socialists of America aligned activist delivered one of the most
Speaker 4: stunning upsets in democratic politics history of our lifetime. So
Speaker 4: what is the warning from this, Well, the warning to
Speaker 4: Michigan voters who now faced the choice between l said
Speaker 4: in a Republican nominee, a hardcore conservative in Mike Rogers,
Speaker 4: now Democrats. They're all falling in line now because they're
Speaker 4: terrified of being against el said. They don't care what
Speaker 4: he says. At this point. Schumer and Stevens have already
Speaker 4: both publicly backed him in their statements saying that they
Speaker 4: cannot wait for the Democrats to win in November. Abdul
Speaker 4: l said has run an energetic campaign that inspired thousands
Speaker 4: of Michiganders across the state, with a clear focus on
Speaker 4: lowering costs and standing up for working families. Democrats are
Speaker 4: united by a common purpose quote putting a check on
Speaker 4: Donald Trump by defeating his Republican enablers and taking back
Speaker 4: the Senate. We look forward to working with Abdul and
Speaker 4: Democrats across Michigan to win the seat in November, is
Speaker 4: a statement from them. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, that's
Speaker 4: the same committee that put together tens of millions of
Speaker 4: dollars to try to beat el said because even they
Speaker 4: knew he was a radical. Now, this wasn't the only
Speaker 4: election that should raise eyebrows. Representative Shri Thanadar also lost
Speaker 4: the Michigan primary to a socialist state lawmaker. Now, Shre
Speaker 4: lost this primary race in an even more progressive foe
Speaker 4: that said, oh no, I'm crazier than you are. You
Speaker 4: may remember Street from TV. This is one of the
Speaker 4: most crazy elected Democrats in America. But the Democratic Socialists
Speaker 4: found someone even more progressive, making him the latest Democrat
Speaker 4: to be ousted by an open socialist in the midterm
Speaker 4: election cycle. Now, when I say open socialists, I'm saying
Speaker 4: the person that beat him said, I am a communist,
Speaker 4: I'm a Marxist, I'm a socialist, I'm not a Democrat.
Speaker 4: And the Indian born congressman lost to the Detroit native
Speaker 4: Donovan McKinney, a state representative of Michigan's House of Representatives,
Speaker 4: a member of the Democratic Socialists of America DSA, and
Speaker 4: McKinny won by fifty one point nine percent of the
Speaker 4: vote over the incumbent at forty eight point one with
Speaker 4: the race being called by the AP Wednesday morning. Now
Speaker 4: Thanadar was endorsed by the US House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries,
Speaker 4: another radical, and the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Yeah, this guy
Speaker 4: was crazy. McKinny, however, won support of the well known
Speaker 4: socialist lawmaker Bernie Sanders and Squad members Rashida talib Elamomar
Speaker 4: and AOC. Now McKenny also secured endorsements from other members
Speaker 4: of the Congressional Black Caucus, with Omar and Pressly both
Speaker 4: part of that. So what is the takeaway? It is
Speaker 4: this the Democrat Party has lost total control of their party.
Speaker 4: They are now being run by the socialists, the Marxists,
Speaker 4: and the communists. And get ready America, because many of
Speaker 4: these people I'm talking about now are going to actually
Speaker 4: be in Congress casting votes to destroy America. And that's
Speaker 4: why we all need to be paying attention to this.
