1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: As we get closer to November. With this presidential election,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: we've seen a massive realignment in American politics with working

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: class voters flocking to the Republican Party because of Donald Trump.

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: I mean, he is the one who is spearheaded this

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: realignment in American politics. So today we're going to talk

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: to someone who is part of that shift. He grew

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: up in a working class family, he grew up in

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: a trailer park, and now he's running for Senate. We're

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: going to talk to Congressman Jim Banks from Indiana, who

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: is running for Senate. There there was this recent political

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: article talking about how he would shake up the Senate because,

12
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: as he stated, I don't come from a rich or

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: powerful family. I'm not a self funder. So we're going

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 1: to talk to him a little bit about his upbringing,

15
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: why we've seen this realignment in American politics, why working

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,319
Speaker 1: class voters have shifted to Donald Trump will also get

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: into the twenty twenty four election, what does he think

18
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: is going to happen. And also we're going to talk

19
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: about how Democrats are profiting off of the border crisis.

20
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: Stay tuned for Congressman Jim Banks, soon to be Senator.

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: Banks from Indiana. Well, Congressman, I guess I should say

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: soon to be Senator Jim Banks. It's great to have

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: you on this show. I appreciate you making the time, sir.

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: Hey, Lisa, good to be with you.

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: Well, thank you. You know, sir, I was reading this

26
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: Politico article recently and it was talking about how you

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: would represent a shift in the Senate. And as you stated,

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: you said, I don't come from a rich or powerful family.

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a self funder. You talked about how you

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: know you grew up in a trailer park. What was

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: your life like growing up?

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: Well, it was that. I mean, I came from very

33
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: humble roots. My dad retired from a factory where he

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: made axles all of his life. My mom was a

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: cook and a nursing home for over thirty years of

36
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: her working life. And I was the oldest of three boys.

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 2: And I remember my mom and dad always talking about

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: they work hard so that my two brothers and I

39
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: could grow up and maybe do something better than they did.

40
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 2: My dad was a part of a true blue hillbilly family,

41
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 2: and I say that in the nicest, most affectionate way.

42
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: My grandparents came from South East Appalachian Kentucky. My grandpa

43
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: was a coal miner and he moved the Banks family

44
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 2: to northeast Indiana to my hometown today for better work.

45
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: And then my dad worked hard all of his life.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 2: And you see that generational upward mobility. That that is Lisa,

47
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 2: to my parents, to my family, that's the American dream.

48
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 2: In the same way that I'm working hard every day

49
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: serving my country in the prime of my life, both

50
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 2: in uniform and now in Congress, to try to preserve

51
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: that American dream for my three girls so that they

52
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 2: grow up with something better than what I had. And

53
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: when I'm most struck by my is a couple of things. One, uh,

54
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: we are at risk of being the first generation in

55
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: American history that turns this great country over to our

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: kids in worse shape than we found it. And I

57
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 2: refuse to do that. I refuse to be a part

58
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: of that generation. But if we if we continue down

59
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: the track of biodynamics and the radical Democrat policies in

60
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: our country, that's exactly what's going to happen. But the other,

61
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: the other aspect of my story, I think that's I

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 2: don't see it as special or unique, but you're finding

63
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 2: that American politics is becoming the playground of rich and

64
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: powerful people, and it shouldn't be that way. I'm not

65
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: a self funder. I don't have the extra income to

66
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: fund a congressional race or to buy a seat in

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: the United States Senate. Unfortunately, that's a growing trend in

68
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: American politics of self funders, very wealthy self funders, especially

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: in the United States Senate. That's that's just not who

70
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 2: I am or where I come from. And I think

71
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: the best part of about that is my background is

72
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: a lot more like normal working class Hoosiers than a

73
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: lot of the people who are serving their states or

74
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: their districts. And that puts me, I think, Lisa in

75
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: a I'll quit rambling with this thought. It puts me

76
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: in a position where I could represent people who I

77
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: who I'm elected to represent. I shot at the same

78
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: Walmart that they do. I see the price increases from inflation.

79
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 2: I struggle with, you know, looking at the increase and

80
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 2: interest rates and mortgages, and I can't afford full time

81
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: daycare for my girls. My wife and I, you know,

82
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: we we do everything we can to raise our girls.

83
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 2: And during the pandemic, we felt the we felt the

84
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 2: pain of what it meant to shut down schools and

85
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: send kids home, and how difficult that made it for

86
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: working families. So I think if anything about that, that

87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: background and story that I have, I think I think

88
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: it only makes me a better represent and hopefully a

89
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: better senator when I get to the Senate too.

90
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: But you know we're saying a big shift and working

91
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: class voters coming over to the Republican Party. Why do

92
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: you think we're seeing that shift? What is behind that?

93
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think this is so good for the Republican

94
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: Party and we have to seize upon it and keep

95
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: the Republican Party the party of the working class. I

96
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: think about my dad again. He was a union factory

97
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: worker who voted Democrat most of his life because he

98
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 2: felt like the Democrats were the party of the working

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 2: people and it couldn't be anything that couldn't be anything

100
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: further from the truth. Today, I remember, Lisa. In twenty sixteen,

101
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 2: I got elected to Congress. My middle brother got elected

102
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: to a county council office in my home county. But

103
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 2: my dad was so much more excited about Trump getting

104
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: elected to president than he was either one of us.

105
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: And I still laugh about that. I've told President Trump

106
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 2: about that and President Trump, of course he appreciates here

107
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 2: that my dad was more excited about him than me too.

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: But my dad is your typical quintessential working class voter

109
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: who wasn't a Republican before Donald Trump, and now he's

110
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 2: a hardcore Trump America First Republican. And we got to

111
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: keep the Republican Party where Donald Trump has has placed

112
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 2: it representing working class values, not Wall Street and corporate

113
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: America values. And I think that's the that's the that's

114
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: the shift in American politics. The paradigm shift in American

115
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 2: politics is the Democrats are now more beholden to corporate America,

116
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: Wall Street, selling us out to China and sending our

117
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 2: jobs overseas. And the Republican Party is the is the

118
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: main Street America first policy, putting American workers first, and

119
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 2: immigration policies, in economic policies and even in our in

120
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 2: our foreign policy. That when we keep the Republican Party

121
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: planted there, we're a bigger, stronger party. That's how we

122
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 2: win national election. Instance why I believe Donald Trump is

123
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: going to win handily in November, because the Democrats have

124
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: drifted so far to the socialist left that they have

125
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 2: nothing in common with working class voters like my dad anymore,

126
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: like maybe like they did a generation or two ago.

127
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, we're saying that show up in the polls,

128
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: most recently in New York Times Battleground survey, finding that

129
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is winning five out of six key battleground states.

130
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: Now we've got a debate before the conventions. If Biden bombs,

131
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: will they replace him?

132
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: I think they're stuck with him. People ask me this

133
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: question every single day. I think they're stuck with them.

134
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 2: I think they know it. They know that Kamala Harris

135
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: would be even worse than Joe Biden on the ballot

136
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: in November, and they know they can't get rid of

137
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: her because what are they going to do. They're gonna

138
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: replace her with a white guy like Gavin Newsom or

139
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: Pritzker or someone like that, a governor from Illinois. They

140
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: can't get away with it. I mean, they've dug themselves

141
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: in this painful hole. And at the end of the day,

142
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: the policies over the last four years are just so

143
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 2: night and day difference from the Trump policies four years

144
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: before that. And that's why I think Donald Trump is

145
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: That's one of the big reasons that Trump is surging

146
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: in all of the battleground states. You see getting back

147
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 2: to this working class voter theme. I mean, Donald Trump

148
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: is doing better with African American voters and any Republican

149
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 2: before him, with Latino voters and any Republican before him.

150
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: Why is that? Because these are working class voters that

151
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: know that Donald Trump will save their good paying job

152
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: and Democrats will send it overseas and Democrats will drive

153
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: up the cost of living make it harder for working

154
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: class voters to get by. That's why they're flocking to

155
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 2: Trump and so hungry to get him back into the

156
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 2: White House. The other reason that Trump is surging is

157
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 2: because of the constant un American witch hunt against them

158
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: that we're seeing in the courtrooms. And the American people

159
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: have had enough of it. They see it for what

160
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 2: it is. Is entirely politically motivated, and it's disgusting. It's

161
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: not what this country stands for. And they're they're persecuting

162
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: Donald Trump more than anyone I believe in at least

163
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: in my lifetime, has ever been persecuted before in America

164
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: because their political beliefs. That's what they're doing to Donald

165
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: Trump to try to stop him to get back to

166
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 2: the White House. It's the only it's the only chance

167
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 2: they have to prevent him from going there is to

168
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 2: lock him up in jail.

169
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like he you know, Joe

170
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: Biden used to be able to be like, oh, at

171
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: least I'm not Trump, and now we're saying, well, Americans

172
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: want Trump, So that doesn't really work anymore. You know,

173
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: he recently held Secretary of Basara's feed to the fire

174
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: on Democrats and their friends. You know, these NGOs getting

175
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: rich off of the border crisis. Tell us a little

176
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: bit about that. What should people know about the profit

177
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: motive of allowing this border crisis to continue?

178
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: Well, it was really struck by you know, every year

179
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: the cabinet secretaries come before our committees and they come

180
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: to defend their budget request. In this case, Secretary of Sarah,

181
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 2: Secretary of Health and Human Services is requesting like up

182
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 2: almost ten billion dollars to give to NGOs that are

183
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: supposedly taking care of these unaccompanied kids that come across

184
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: the southern border. But what's striking about is that ten

185
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: billion dollars so much more than what we've ever spent

186
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 2: before to send these these NGOs. So I read a

187
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 2: free press story about this. I forget the author's name,

188
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: but it's a really, really incredible and powerful story that

189
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: that sort of tie ties together. These NGOs are run

190
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: by Democrats and like Obama administration officials and Democrats who

191
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: were involved in like vetting appointments at HHS. I mean,

192
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: this is a this is a total racket. And then

193
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: you look at how much the seat eos of these

194
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: NGOs that, by the way, used to work for Barack

195
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,439
Speaker 2: and Michelle Obama and work in the Biden administration. They're

196
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,080
Speaker 2: making like a million dollars a year to run these

197
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: NGOs to take care of these poor kids that are

198
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 2: coming across the border. So, just like with everything else,

199
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 2: when it comes to the Biden policies, you start pulling

200
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 2: the thread and you realize that they're making a lot

201
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 2: of money off of it. They're making money off of

202
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 2: policies that lure these kids over the border. And I'm

203
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 2: a girl dad. At least I have three girls fourteen, twelve,

204
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 2: and eleven years old, so pray for me for that,

205
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 2: But I'm a girl dad. I read these stories about

206
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 2: girls coming across the border and they're sexually assaulted, like

207
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: one in three of them are sexually assaulted coming across

208
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 2: the border. And I think back to when Trump was

209
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,560
Speaker 2: at office, they talked, they used to cry about the

210
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 2: inhumane policies of the Trump administration. By the way they worked,

211
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: they were a deterrent and like it was, the statistics

212
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,719
Speaker 2: are a drop in the bucket of unaccompanied miners coming

213
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,440
Speaker 2: across the border under Trump versus under under Biden. What

214
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 2: what What could possibly be more inhumane than policies that

215
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 2: draw young girls across the border who one and three

216
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 2: are being sexually assaulted and then they're then they're being

217
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: sent into UH sex trafficking, labor trafficking situations as miners.

218
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: And it's all directly tied to Joe Biden, Secretary of

219
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: Bessara's policies. And then when you find out the Democrats

220
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 2: are getting rich off of it, it just it infuriates me.

221
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: And that's that's why I that's why I was tough

222
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: on Secretary of Bessara this week on that UH, on

223
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: those questions. Of course, he can't defend it because he

224
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: knows he's personally responsible for it. It's just disgusting.

225
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: Well it is disgusting, and I don't want to scare you,

226
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: but my Mom told me that I was more difficult

227
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: to raise than all three brothers combined. So yeah, I

228
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: meant for its well. Or maybe I was just a handful.

229
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

230
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: We've got more with Congressman Jim Banks. But first, since

231
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: October seventh, the attacks on Israel have increased, with Iran

232
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 1: and its proxies launching an attack of hundreds of drones

233
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 1: and missiles. Israelis are living with a harsh reality of

234
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: terror every day. The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews

235
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: is on the ground now addressing allergent needs, and that's

236
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: why I'm partnering with IFCJ today. While praying for the best,

237
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: IFCJ is preparing for the worst by packing emergency bomb

238
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: shelter kits that can be delivered immediately to those in need.

239
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: Your life saving donation today will help assemble and place

240
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: these kits with enough food and life saving emergency supplies

241
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 1: for twenty people huddled in a bomb shelter. The cost

242
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 1: to put together and distribute these kits is two hundred

243
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: and ninety dollars each. Your gift now will help save

244
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: lives and thanks to a matching challenge gift from a

245
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,080

00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,359
Speaker 1: make your gift is eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ.

248
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,800

249
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: three two five or go on line to support IFCJ

250
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: dot org to give. That's one word support, IFCJ dot org.

251
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: You've got the NGO is making money, as you just

252
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: laid out for the audience. And then and then you've

253
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,239
Speaker 1: got during this twenty twenty one hearing about Haitian migrants,

254
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: Representative Yvette Clark of New York stating, I need more

255
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: people in my district just for redistricting purposes. So you know,

256
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: if Democrats and their friends are profiting off of the

257
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: border crisis, and they're benefiting politically, why would they shut

258
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: it down.

259
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've said all along that the Biden border policies

260
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 2: the biggest humanitarian crisis in American history at the southern border.

261
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: It's all by design, it's all calculated. It's a Democrat

262
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: strategy to flood our country with future Democrat voters. And

263
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 2: then then you find out they're getting rid off of it,

264
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: and you realize just how corrupt the Democrats are, and

265
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: the Biden administration is so yeah, I mean now there

266
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: now he's sort of now that they've flooded our country

267
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,200
Speaker 2: with ten million illegals and they want you know, they're

268
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: pumping in into congressional districts where those illegals count for

269
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: in the census as they as they draw the maps

270
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 2: and and helped tilt the favorite toward the Democrats to

271
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 2: give them permanent power. I mean, that's what this is

272
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: all about. It's all about power for them. So it's

273
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 2: all by design. Now now we're six months before the election.

274
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 2: The Democrats know they're in trouble. They're you have like

275
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: twelve so called you know, more moderate they're not really

276
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: moderates anymore, but so called the more the more, uh,

277
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: the more moderate Democrats who are crying out like a

278
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: list of Slotkin who wants to join me in the Senate.

279
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 2: She's running in Michigan, and now all of a sudden,

280
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: she's pretending that she cares about the border and begging

281
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: Biden to like do something about it, and and and

282
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 2: the Biden administration is trying to make sort of last minute,

283
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 2: you know, fake moves to try to pretend like they're

284
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: doing something about the border, but they're not. I mean,

285
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, they're not doing anything

286
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: about it. Joe Biden, with a stroke of a pen,

287
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 2: made it happen. With the stroke of a pen, he

288
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: could secure the border and return us to the Trump policies.

289
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: It's going to take Donald Trump winning in November. It's

290
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 2: going to take a Senate Republican majority and growing the

291
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 2: Republican majority in the House to secure the border. That's

292
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: how we fix it. And I hate to say it

293
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: when we say every election cycle this is the most

294
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: important election cycle of our lifetime. This one really is

295
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: the most important election of our lifetime. If we don't

296
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: do something to fix this now, I'm afraid we're not

297
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: going to have This great country is going to go

298
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 2: by the wayside, and it's not going to be the

299
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: great country that we know all of it to be

300
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: if we don't do something now to fix it.

301
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's interesting I was reading there was a

302
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: recent Axio survey that found that fifty one percent of

303
00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Americans now want mass deportations. So you know, Joe Biden

304
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: has actually created an environment where now the majority of

305
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: Americans are more aligned with Donald trump On on border security.

306
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, and in that same Actualio's Pool has said

307
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 2: that a large number of Democrats support master deportations. So yeah,

308
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 2: this country uh is has been awakened to the threat.

309
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 2: It's not it's not just I mean where I come

310
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,239
Speaker 2: from in Indiana. The it's the illegals coming into our

311
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 2: country that's disruptive to our labor market. They take our jobs.

312
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: But it's also the violent crime. You can't you know,

313
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,840

00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 2: crimes from uh uh illegals who have come across our border.

317
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 2: And then and then the sad the saddest part for

318
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 2: me because it's personal and I've I've met the families.

319
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 2: There's not a community in Indiana that I that I

320
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 2: don't go to anymore that hasn't been affected or family

321
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 2: that hasn't been affected by the drug crisis. Fenton all
