Speaker 1: As far as the Republicans. Look, the Republicans talk about it.
Speaker 1: It's not put on, but they've got to get tougher.
Speaker 2: They've got to talk, and they've got to talk about
Speaker 2: how well we're doing.
Speaker 1: I watched Laura before and she was saying, this is
Speaker 1: the most increasing She's giving me the numbers, the financial
Speaker 1: numbers of the trade numbers that just came out today.
Speaker 2: Our trade deficit is way down.
Speaker 1: There's never been anything, It's never gone down in history
Speaker 1: like it has during this a little bit more than
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 2: Think of that. And she was going over dispoint after point,
Speaker 2: I'm saying, how many people report this? People don't know.
Speaker 3: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben First.
Speaker 4: Good Wednesday morning. It is nice to have you with
Speaker 4: us on the forty seven Morning Update. And if there's
Speaker 4: one thing last science elections have showed us, it is
Speaker 4: that socialism, communism, Marxism is alive and well within the
Speaker 4: Democratic Party, abdil El said versus Hailey Stevens is a
Speaker 4: prime example. Just how many votes didn't go to the
Speaker 4: establishment Democrat but went to the radical Marxist who wants
Speaker 4: to this country. We break down election night for you
Speaker 4: and what this means going into the midterms. But before
Speaker 4: we get to that, it feels like our country finally
Speaker 4: has momentum again. But the left they're doing everything they
Speaker 4: can to stop the America First policy.
Speaker 5: And we've seen this before.
Speaker 4: Conservatives get power, then we get comfortable, and then the
Speaker 4: left starts taking background inch by inch, and many would
Speaker 4: say that's what's happening right now, and we cannot let
Speaker 4: it happen going into these midterms. America needs every one
Speaker 4: of us in the fight, and a big part of
Speaker 4: that means supporting companies that actually stand for our values
Speaker 4: instead of fighting against them. Now, that's why I'm proud
Speaker 4: to partner with Patriot Mobile and why I'm proud to

Speaker 4: update and it starts right now.
Speaker 3: Story number one.
Speaker 5: The Michigan Primary.
Speaker 4: It just changed the Democratic Party maybe forever. If you
Speaker 4: needed any more proof that the Democratic Party is moving
Speaker 4: dramatically to the left, I'm talking about communist, socialist, Marxist left. Well,
Speaker 4: you don't have to look at New York anymore, because
Speaker 4: last night all you had.
Speaker 5: To do was look at the results in Michigan.
Speaker 4: It's one of the most important Senate primaries in America,
Speaker 4: and in it sent a message that will reverberate across
Speaker 4: the country. And what many Democrats themselves described as a
Speaker 4: battle for the soul of their party, Well that soul
Speaker 4: has died and it's been replaced by the Marxists.
Speaker 5: Now this isn't just another primary.
Speaker 4: This was the progressive winging delivering a knockout punch to
Speaker 4: the Democratic establishment that came in not just in one
Speaker 4: state of Michigan, the entire countries establishment of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 4: And the candidate that was backed by Bernie Sanders, the
Speaker 4: candidate that was endorsed by AOC, the candidate who campaigned
Speaker 4: on Medicare for all, that's socialized medicine, the candidate who
Speaker 4: had been one of the loudest critics of America's relationship
Speaker 4: with Israel, yes anti Semitic, and the candidate who built
Speaker 4: the campaign around taking on what he called the Democratic establishment.
Speaker 5: Now I want you to think about what that says.
Speaker 4: Michigan, to be clear, is not San Francisco, Michigan, is
Speaker 4: not Portland, Michigan isn't even Manhattan. Michigan is one of
Speaker 4: the most important swing states in America. Donald Trump, by
Speaker 4: the way, has won Michigan, to put it in perspective,
Speaker 4: and Republicans have repeated he competed their time and time again. Now,
Speaker 4: for decades, Democrats argued that to win in Michigan they
Speaker 4: would need a moderate candidate who could appeal to the
Speaker 4: union workers, and then to the suburban voters, and then
Speaker 4: to the independence and then to the Reagan Democrats. Now
Speaker 4: that should obviously concern anyone wondering where today's Democratic Party
Speaker 4: is actually headed. Hailey Stevens wasn't some fringe candidate. She
Speaker 4: was a sitting member of Congress with a real track record.
Speaker 4: She had establishment support from top to bottom. An outside
Speaker 4: group spent enormous sums trying to help her campaign. Yet
Speaker 4: Democratic primary voters said, no, thinks. And that tells you
Speaker 4: something much much bigger than this being just one Senate race.
Speaker 4: It tells you who is winning the argument inside the
Speaker 4: Democratic Party. Now, for years, we've heard Democrats insist they
Speaker 4: were pushing back against the far left while actually promoting them.
Speaker 4: We've been told that the Bernie Sanders wing wasn't really
Speaker 4: in charge. Well, that is a lie. And we also
Speaker 4: have been told that AOC represents quote only a tiny
Speaker 4: slice of the party. Who said that, literally the leadership
Speaker 4: of the Democratic Party that now is also a lie.
Speaker 5: Who's really in charge? It is not the establishment.
Speaker 4: Democratic voters had a choice between a traditional Democrat and
Speaker 4: a progressive insurgent. Now the question is what comes next,
Speaker 4: because this race isn't just about Michigan. This about every
Speaker 4: Democratic politician who watched the results come in. We're talking
Speaker 4: about governors, We're talking about members of Congress. We're also
Speaker 4: talking about potential presidential candidates. Everyone is taking notes on
Speaker 4: what they just witness and the lessons. Well, even the
Speaker 4: Democratic establishment are in shock now. Someone who used to
Speaker 4: be the most extreme of the party, a guy by
Speaker 4: the name of Van Jones.
Speaker 5: I know him well.
Speaker 4: We worked together for seven plus years debating one another
Speaker 4: at CNN. In fact, we still debate each other from
Speaker 4: time to time. And he was on set at CNN
Speaker 4: and I want you to hear what he had to
Speaker 4: say about l Sied and the Steve facing off in
Speaker 4: this race and what this means for the Democratic Party
Speaker 4: moving forward.
Speaker 5: Okay, Van Jones, what are the stakes here for Democrats?
Speaker 6: Look, this is the whole ball of wax. I'm from Jackson, Tennessee.
Speaker 6: There was a guy named gil Scott Heron who had
Speaker 6: a great poem. It was called, the Revolution will not
Speaker 6: be televised. Gil Scott hearing is wrong. The revolution is
Speaker 6: being televised and podcasts and streamed and elected tonight.
Speaker 5: Why is that. It's because there is.
Speaker 6: A credibility gap that's opened up between the Democratic Party
Speaker 6: establishment and this insurgency. People are looking at people and
Speaker 6: they're saying, you've been telling us the same thing for
Speaker 6: a long time, and our lives are not even better.
Speaker 2: We got Donald Trump twice.
Speaker 6: There's also an innovation gap. Why can you spend sixty
Speaker 6: million dollars and get what like this? Because the old
Speaker 6: model was you get the donors to get the consultant
Speaker 6: to buy a bunch of ads, and you win. That's
Speaker 6: how you get attention. This movement says, I don't need donors, ads,
Speaker 6: I don't need consultants. I'm going right to the people
Speaker 6: with TikTok and grassroots and they've disintermediated the entire donor class,
Speaker 6: mediated the entire consulting class. And this is a revolution
Speaker 6: and so this is going to happen again and again.
Speaker 6: The Democratic Party is now Blockbuster. These kids are Netflix.
Speaker 6: We are selling CDs out the trunk. This is a
Speaker 6: napster becoming Spotify, and it's happening to night.
Speaker 5: So there it is. The revolution is being televised.
Speaker 4: The Democratic Party is Blockbuster, these kids are Netflix. Yeah,
Speaker 4: he's now saying, get ready because the Democratic Party it
Speaker 4: is dead. It is now the socialist, Communist Marxist candidates
Speaker 4: who are the ones in charge. Abdul Al said, well,
Speaker 4: let me just remind you what this guy had said
Speaker 4: in his own words.
Speaker 7: I mean, I just want you to think about this.
Speaker 7: I do not condone at all the murder of anybody,
Speaker 7: but I help ensure CEO got murdered in cold blood
Speaker 7: and everybody sided with the murder. I just tells you
Speaker 7: where people are. They are sick and tired of the system.
Speaker 7: They hate it, and so they want it solved. And
Speaker 7: I think we have an opportunity to actually go and
Speaker 7: solve it for them.
Speaker 4: That is demand sympathizing with those celebrating the murder Brian Thompson,
Speaker 4: that health insurance ceo who got murdered in cold blood
Speaker 4: and everybody sided with the murder. That just tells you
Speaker 4: where people are. They're sick and tired of the system.
Speaker 4: That's what he said, folks. Bill Lsay, the Democratic nominee,
Speaker 4: called Chuck Schumer this, Yeah, this is the leader of
Speaker 4: the Democratic Party.
Speaker 6: So you have all these plans of things to do
Speaker 6: in the Senate. Who are your biggest obstacles in the
Speaker 6: Democratic coute?
Speaker 7: I mean, clearly he's already presented himself the current.
Speaker 6: Leader, Schumer.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Like, who do you think is like the biggest
Speaker 7: set of problems? Futterman. Futterman is probably the biggest issue.
Speaker 7: Fetterman is the sitting counter argument to the kind of
Speaker 7: Midwest politics that I think really can work. He's also
Speaker 7: just an.
Speaker 4: That is Abdul Lsay telling you that John Fetterman is
Speaker 4: an a hole. Abdul Elsay also said he wants to
Speaker 4: out Chuck Schumer as the leader who could take his spot.
Speaker 4: I think there's a good chance it could be someone
Speaker 4: by the name of AOC. But here is the Democratic
Speaker 4: nominee talking about the leader of his party.
Speaker 8: Well, god willing, I will be elected in a majority,
Speaker 8: and god willing, our next majority leader will be Chris
Speaker 8: van Holland and Senator Van Holland will lead the effort,
Speaker 8: I believe, to past the kind of war powers resolution
Speaker 8: that we need and to block funding for a war
Speaker 8: that is illegal on its own terms.
Speaker 4: This is a man who says, my party, the Democratic Party,
Speaker 4: isn't communist enough, isn't socialist enough, isn't Marxist enough.
Speaker 5: Now he also and so, by the way, hates this country.
Speaker 5: How do I know this bill? I'll say?
Speaker 4: Also said that America was actually founded, as he described it,
Speaker 4: on racism.
Speaker 9: For the removal of a whole people, Founded on the
Speaker 9: idea that we could popromize on whether or not people
Speaker 9: as a function of the color of their skin could
Speaker 9: be enslaved to bother people. Founded under the idea that
Speaker 9: all people are created equal, all men, but that only
Speaker 9: meant certain men phenominally.
Speaker 4: And if you want to know what he believes, this
Speaker 4: is what he said to CBS about the Democratic Socialist Party.
Speaker 10: Not remember the Democratic Socials of America. They did not
Speaker 10: endorse you, but we know that their ideas and members
Speaker 10: out there in this state right now campaigning on your
Speaker 10: behalf and of literature for you.
Speaker 2: It's a big time, my friend.
Speaker 5: Any concern so.
Speaker 10: That they may be misrepresenting you. No look, asking you
Speaker 10: is one of them.
Speaker 7: When you figure anything, you know. It's funny, right, Democrats
Speaker 7: are so concerned about what other people say about us,
Speaker 7: and I think we just need to be more concerned
Speaker 7: about what we say about the lives of Michiganders. I
Speaker 7: won't to get money out of politics. Put money in
Speaker 7: your pocket past medicare for all. If you want to
Speaker 7: be part of that movement, whether you vote for Donald
Speaker 7: Trump three times or you are DSA, come join us.
Speaker 4: So there he is. Is he a socialist? Now they
Speaker 4: didn't endorse him, they work for him. This is a socialist,
Speaker 4: a socialist. It says, even if you've voted for Donald Trump,
Speaker 4: join me. I'll give you more free stuff. This is
Speaker 4: the Democratic Socialist, Communist Marxist Party, and it's very clear
Speaker 4: right now they are in charge of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 4: whether the establishment likes it or not.
