1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you, mister President, about iran An

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: honor Ran. You came to the conclusion that you couldn't

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: negotiate with the IRGC. Does that mean that you might

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 1: wipe them out like you did Isis?

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it does. We will see what's happening. We received

6
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: a call just as it was coming here.

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, so, mister President, Dan Kaine. Raising Kane is your

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: chief of staff. He was the one there joints chief

9
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: of staff. He was the one who wiped out Isis.

10
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 3: Could he be.

11
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: Tasked then now to wipe out the RGC If you

12
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: can't negotiate, well, will it.

13
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 2: Gonna be a good shape?

14
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 4: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: Good Thursday morning.

16
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 5: It's so nice to have you with us on the

17
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 5: forty seven Morning Update, and we've got a very big

18
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 5: story for you. It is interesting to watch the Democratic

19
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 5: Party allow the Democratic.

20
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: Socialists to take over.

21
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: Well.

22
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 5: They now have put out their new platform and where

23
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 5: they want to get rid of virtually everything that makes

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 5: us a democracy and makes us the United States of America.

25
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 5: We have the list for you and you don't want

26
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 5: to miss it. It's a forty seven Morning Update, and

27
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 5: it starts right now story number one.

28
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen.

29
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 5: If you want to understand how dramatically the far left

30
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 5: wants to transform America, well it's now in writing. You

31
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 5: have to look no further than the newly unveiled platform

32
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 5: from the Democratic Socialists of America known as the DSA.

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 5: Now this isn't simply another policy paper that's calling for,

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 5: you know, higher taxes and bigger government, which they love.

35
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 5: This is now a document that envisions fundamentally restructuring the

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 5: American system of government itself. Now, let me be very

37
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 5: clear what we're talking about. The DSA is an activist

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 5: political organization. They are not a governing body, and its

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 5: platform has no legal force. But they're running for office

40
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 5: and now they become incredibly influential in the Democratic coalition

41
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 5: as a whole. Many of the races right now are

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 5: running Democratic Socialist candidates in the Democratic primaries, and a

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 5: growing number of candidates not only identifying, but also receiving

44
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 5: support and winning. So what exactly are they proposing. Well,

45
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 5: Kayleie Mcananny explained it as she got the platform notes,

46
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 5: and here's what it said.

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 6: Well, the DSA debuted their New Workers Deserve More program

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 6: yesterday with a set of radical new policies that would

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 6: gut the constitution radically transform life in the United States.

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 6: The document pitches an idyllic future under socialism. Quote, imagine

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 6: taking a day off from work. In a future without capitalism,

52
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 6: you work as much as you are able, and no

53
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 6: more than needed, and you would control your own labor

54
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 6: and see it going to good use. It's not just

55
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 6: a job to pay the bills. Speaking of bills, you

56
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 6: don't really have them anymore. You have no debt, you

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 6: don't need health insurance, you don't pay a mortgage or

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 6: have a landlord because comfortable housing is a human right.

59
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 6: Just because it isn't easy to imagine how doesn't mean

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 6: we shouldn't try to make it happen. Wow, The problem

61
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 6: is it's failed everywhere it's been tried.

62
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 2: Got to be clear.

63
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 5: What they're asking for is replacing America our constitutional structure

64
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 5: with a socialist, communist Marxist system. The platform, by the Way,

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 5: calls for replacing the electoral College with a national popular vote,

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 5: expanding the House of Representatives so that they have the edge,

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 5: ending the Senate Filipbuster, reducing the Supreme Court's power of

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: judicial review.

69
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,119
Speaker 2: Meaning they're basically meaningless.

70
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: And moving towards a quote new constitutional framework that's centered

71
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 5: on a single federal legislature.

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: This is again all in writing.

73
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 5: Now, if you think about what this proposal means, the

74
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: United States of America was deliberately designed with three equal

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 5: branches of government, the executive, the legislative, and the judicial.

76
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 5: Now Communists understand that, and they understand that's a problem.

77
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 5: So what they said was no, no, no, we're done

78
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 5: with that and forget to legislative chambers in the House

79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: and Senate.

80
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: Right, No, that's gone as well.

81
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 5: The DSA is now telling Americans that all of these

82
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 5: institutions are undemocratic and they should be fundamentally restructured. Now

83
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 5: they say these changes would make quote government more representative,

84
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 5: and they argue that this is a dismantling of the

85
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: core of the problems we have in this country. Constitutional

86
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 5: checks that we don't need, balances that we don't need.

87
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 5: They want none of those things to exist.

88
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: Now, how did we get to this point. I'm going

89
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 2: to play for you part of that history.

90
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 5: Well, okay, in a good friend of mine at Fox

91
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 5: actually put it together talking about how the Democratic Party

92
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 5: has now allowed and it's really interesting to watch the

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 5: communists and the socialists to avert completely take over.

94
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 7: And as socialism takes root. Now in the Democrat Party,

95
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 7: are voters taking to socialism? We may not have an

96
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 7: answer yet, but we are getting a pretty clear picture

97
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 7: of what Democratic Socialists have in mind for America. Total fundamental,

98
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 7: radical change to pretty much every area of government. The

99
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 7: DSA underscoring that plan for a people in a new

100
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 7: platform just released. Let's walk through it together. We have

101
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 7: it up on the wall. It's no less radical than

102
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 7: starting with replacing the President and the Supreme Court of

103
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,239
Speaker 7: the United States. But we're just now getting started because

104
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 7: the DSA would also abolish the United States Senate, expand

105
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 7: the House of Representatives, and move to rank choice voting,

106
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 7: the likes of which you see in California. Still working

107
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 7: to transform America. The DSA proposes, like many Democrats, to

108
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 7: make Washington, DC a state, to defund the Department of War,

109
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 7: end ice attention and deportation, and grant amnesty to all

110
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 7: illegal immigrants. Now, these are the radical transformational things proposed

111
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 7: by the Democratic Socialist of America. Some of these we've

112
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 7: heard already from establishment Democrats. They've opened the door, and

113
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 7: the DSA has simply walked through the door.

114
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 2: Would you like to abolish the Senate?

115
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 7: That's part of our platform, And we don't think that's extreme.

116
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: We think it's a.

117
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 7: Change that would help make this country more democratic.

118
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 8: We need that illegal aliens in the country, don't.

119
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: They need to be removed.

120
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 9: We believe that demilitarizing the border, that violent oppression of

121
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 9: working class immigrants who come here, is not something that

122
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 9: most Americans want.

123
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 7: Democrats are left scrambling. America may be left scrambling. It's

124
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 7: like running for class president in high school against someone

125
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 7: that promises free ice team for everybody every day at lunch.

126
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: I mean, take a look.

127
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 7: These are types of things being said by the imagine

128
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 7: taking a day off from work. In the future without capitalism,

129
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 7: you work as much as you are able and no

130
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 7: more than needed, and it's always accompanied by the friendly

131
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 7: little fist deal not sweet enough for you?

132
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,239
Speaker 2: There's more. How about this from the DSA.

133
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 7: You won't have any bills, no debt, no need for

134
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 7: health insurance, no mortgage, no landlords, retirement publicly funded. Sounds

135
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 7: too good to be true. That's because, of course, you're

136
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 7: not a sap. But for now, all of this is

137
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 7: too much for traditional Democrats. It's too hard to compete.

138
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 7: So you're looking at traditional establishment democrats say don't look here,

139
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 7: look over here, Like for a President Biden who has

140
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 7: a book he'd like to talk about, but not until

141
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 7: after the midterms.

142
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 8: It's about the challenge we face as a nation, about

143
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 8: these decisions I made.

144
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: Why I made.

145
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 3: Them, leading the country through COVID, rebuilding.

146
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 5: Our economy and restoring our democracy after the attack on

147
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 5: January sixth, any in our nation's longest war in Afghandestan.

148
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: Strength data is supporting.

149
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 7: Ukraine as Biden slurs his way through the past the

150
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 7: far left full stream ahead into the future, knocking the

151
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 7: Democrat establishment off its feet in the process. So the

152
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 7: big tent we've heard about, well, it's hard to really

153
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 7: know if they're winning the hearts and minds the DSA.

154
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 7: Are they winning the hearts and minds of Democrats. It's

155
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 7: hard to know, just know they're running against this.

156
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 9: I request thirty more seconds because I rise before you,

157
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 9: adorning these gentlemen for personal tension, not for personal attention,

158
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 9: but to encourage you to take I am going to

159
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 9: be working on our behalf. I am going to be

160
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 9: telling the stories on our behalf, and you better believe

161
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 9: I'm going to be doing it with a little bit

162
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 9: of joy, a little bit of enthusiasm, a little bit

163
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 9: of energy, and a little bit of sicket to them,

164
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 9: because that's the Michigan way.

165
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 7: That is Democratic establishment candidate Haley Stevens, who's running against

166
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 7: socialist candidate Abdul Lsi, ed for Senate in Michigan. Somebody

167
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 7: clever on X said. The Democrats said we need new voices,

168
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 7: and here's Haley Stevens to offer you a nineteen thirties

169
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 7: baseball manager. But can't we say it's something we've seen before.

170
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 2: You better thank a union member.

171
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: For the five day work week.

172
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 4: You better thank a union member for sick leave.

173
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 6: You better thank a union member for paid leave.

174
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: You better thank a union member for vacation time.

175
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 9: All right, all right, listen, all right, listen, listen, Okay,

176
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 9: list see.

177
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 3: I don't feel no ways tired. I come too far

178
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 3: from where I started from. Nobody told me that the

179
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 3: road would be easy.

180
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 7: Hayley Stevens doesn't even take the gold for changing accents

181
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,199
Speaker 7: in front of her audience, and not least among Democrats.

182
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 7: But the problem, see for Democrats isn't how they're speaking,

183
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 7: it's what they're speaking about. That's the problem.

184
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 8: Legitimately, when the campaign consultants told me, hey, we're gonna

185
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 8: hit this line because Kamala Harris came out in favor

186
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 8: of taxpayer funded sex changes for illegal aliens, and I

187
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 8: remembering myself, come on, you guys, like, she didn't really

188
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 8: say that.

189
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: It's taken out of context. And then I go and

190
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 2: look at it. I'm like, holy, she actually said.

191
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 8: That, and was she really was like the very worst

192
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 8: version of what the Democrats were producing in twenty twenty.

193
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 8: The thing is it was they were all doing it

194
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 8: because that was the incentives of the party.

195
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 5: You listen there by the way to the Vice president

196
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 5: and what he's saying, this is the incentives of the party.

197
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 5: It is no oh shock that we now are at

198
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,680
Speaker 5: a point where we have the Democratic Socialists of America

199
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 5: who really are running the agenda, who are pushing the future,

200
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 5: who are advocating for destroying this country. When they tell

201
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 5: you what they believe in, please believe them. They're not lying, folks.

202
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 5: This is what they believe. And it's only going to

203
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 5: get worse.
