Kamala's Speech: Vapid, Radical, Disconnected from Reality & Dangerous as Hell · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome.
0:01
Speaker 2: It is verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with
0:04
Speaker 2: you and Senator we finally saw what the agenda of
0:07
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris is, or maybe we didn't get to see
0:11
Speaker 2: any agenda at all from her in her big speech
0:15
Speaker 2: closing out the coronation of Kamala Harris.
0:19
Speaker 3: Well, last night the DNC Convention ended. I guess we
0:23
Speaker 3: can say our long national nightmare is over. We saw
0:27
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris's acceptance speech, and I would say the speech
0:31
Speaker 3: was simultaneously vapid, radical, disconnected from reality and dangerous as hell.
0:39
Speaker 3: We're going to break it down. We're going to break
0:41
Speaker 3: down what her strategy was, We're gonna break down what
0:44
Speaker 3: she said, and we're going to break down what the
0:46
Speaker 3: consequences are likely to be from the speech last night.
0:50
Speaker 3: You're not gonna what want to miss this?
0:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was truly an incredible speech, and I don't
0:54
Speaker 2: say that as a compliment. What was in it We're
0:57
Speaker 2: gonna talk about that. And before we get to that,
0:59
Speaker 2: you saw the protesters that were outside of the convention,
1:03
Speaker 2: and they were there advocating for the terrorists that attacked Israel.
1:07
Speaker 2: It is shocking to see just how many of them
1:10
Speaker 2: were demanding that we cut ties with Israel. And now
1:14
Speaker 2: we are quickly approaching the one year anniversary of the
1:17
Speaker 2: horrific Hamas attacks on Israel, and still the Holy Land
1:21
Speaker 2: continues to be attacked on multiple fronts. Deadly threats are
1:25
Speaker 2: increasing in northern Israel. There were constant rocket attacks from
1:29
Speaker 2: Hesbla that have been fired Israel, causing widespread damage, including
1:34
Speaker 2: this summer raging wildfires destroying precious farmland. Since the war started,
1:40
Speaker 2: our good friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and
1:43
Speaker 2: Jews has been on the forefront in Israel addressing the
1:46
Speaker 2: most important needs of the most vulnerable. That's why I'm

Speaker 2: partnering with IFCJ today and your life saving donation will

Speaker 2: bomb shelters, and so much more. We're looking for five
2:09
Speaker 2: hundred listeners to join the Fellowship and me by donating

2:49
Speaker 1: Israel needs our support now more than ever.
2:52
Speaker 2: Stand with them today, support IFCJ dot org centater. This
2:57
Speaker 2: speech was obviously a important import moment for her campaign.
3:03
Speaker 2: It was an important week to really launch her as Hey,
3:07
Speaker 2: I am officially the candidate.
3:09
Speaker 1: I've got the nomination. It is me.
3:11
Speaker 2: Joe Biden. They got rid of him after midnight on
3:14
Speaker 2: Monday night on a scout of one to ten. What
3:17
Speaker 2: would you give her? What grade if you want to
3:19
Speaker 2: use that ranking system would you give her for this speech?
3:23
Speaker 4: Oh?
3:23
Speaker 3: Look, I think this speech was effective. You and I
3:28
Speaker 3: predicted early on that she would have good speech writers.
3:31
Speaker 3: They'd write a speech and she would read it from
3:34
Speaker 3: the teleprompter.
3:35
Speaker 1: Just fine.
3:35
Speaker 3: Look, it's been a month since she's been the presumptive nominee.
3:38
Speaker 3: In that entire time, she's done no media interviews. She
3:41
Speaker 3: hasn't taken questions but she has read from the teleprompter,
3:44
Speaker 3: and tonight she read from the teleprompter as well. She
3:47
Speaker 3: read effectively. But I want to break down the different
3:50
Speaker 3: elements of the speech because I think each of the
3:55
Speaker 3: different elements I described is significant. The first one I
3:58
Speaker 3: said is vapid. It really was striking how little policy
4:03
Speaker 3: was in this speech. The first half of the speech
4:07
Speaker 3: could have been given by a Democrat or a Republican.
4:10
Speaker 3: It was utterly disconnected to any policy proposal whatsoever, to
4:14
Speaker 3: anything that she would do as president. So the first
4:17
Speaker 3: half was biographical. She talked about some shocking positions, like
4:21
Speaker 3: she loved her mom, and she loves her sister, and
4:25
Speaker 3: she likes kids, and and she talked about that that
4:29
Speaker 3: that that that we need to be aspirational and we
4:31
Speaker 3: need to be able to do more, and we need
4:33
Speaker 3: to have opportunity. And it was a lot of pretty
4:36
Speaker 3: words that speech writers write that actually said next to nothing.
4:42
Speaker 3: That they did not say anything about what people's lives
4:47
Speaker 3: would be like if she's president. But uh, you know,
4:52
Speaker 3: they sounded nice to someone who is generally listening, not
4:59
Speaker 3: not paying that close of attention. They were nice speech
5:04
Speaker 3: writer lines. Although it's striking as I said, just how
5:07
Speaker 3: many of them could have been delivered by a nominee
5:10
Speaker 3: at a Republican convention. It reminded me of The Simpsons
5:15
Speaker 3: when when Kang and Codos are both both running for
5:18
Speaker 3: president and and and and they pledged to go yeah forwards,
5:22
Speaker 3: not backwards, upwards, not downwards, and twirling twirling into the future.
5:27
Speaker 3: I halfway expected her to start twirling, uh, because because
5:30
Speaker 3: those were the sort of sort of lines that were there.
5:34
Speaker 3: Vapid was there, but it was also at the same
5:36
Speaker 3: time radical. Now how can that be because when she
5:39
Speaker 3: got in to policy, the policy that she laid out,
5:43
Speaker 3: every bit of it was hard left that there. There
5:47
Speaker 3: was virtually zero policy in that speech designed to appeal
5:52
Speaker 3: to the middle. So, first of all, her first major
5:55
Speaker 3: policy initiative was abortion. And if anyone has missed, uh
5:59
Speaker 3: missed the narrative, she's for it. She's for it in
6:01
Speaker 3: all circumstances, no matter what. There are no limitations she
6:05
Speaker 3: has ever suggested she would countenance, and she pledged as
6:09
Speaker 3: her first major reason to vote for that she would
6:11
Speaker 3: gladly sign legislation striking down every restriction all across the country. Now,
6:17
Speaker 3: mind you, that is a position striking down legalizing abortion
6:23
Speaker 3: up until the including the ninth month of pregnancy, with
6:27
Speaker 3: no limits whatsoever. That's a position nine percent of Americans
6:31
Speaker 3: agree with. Ninety one percent of Americans do not want
6:34
Speaker 3: to see late term abortions. And that was where she started.
6:38
Speaker 3: Then from there she went to amnesty for illegal aliens,
6:45
Speaker 3: and she wanted a path to citizenship for every illegal
6:48
Speaker 3: alien in America. She had a rhetorical nod declaiming she
6:52
Speaker 3: would secure the border, but she very quickly got to
6:55
Speaker 3: where she's interested in, which is taking every one of
6:58
Speaker 3: the eleven and a half million illegal aliens that that
7:02
Speaker 3: she has allowed in as borders are and making them
7:06
Speaker 3: Democrat voters. And so that was a critical part of
7:11
Speaker 3: her proposal. And then the other major policy element she
7:16
Speaker 3: had there was when she got to the Middle East.
7:19
Speaker 3: When she got to the Middle East, she did have
7:22
Speaker 3: a sentence or two about standing with Israel, which which
7:26
Speaker 3: got some polite applause in the room, and then she said,
7:31
Speaker 3: we will fight for the self determination of the Palestinian people,
7:35
Speaker 3: and the place erupted. It was her single biggest applause
7:41
Speaker 3: line of the night, which gives you a sense of
7:43
Speaker 3: the priorities of the radicals there that that nothing mattered
7:49
Speaker 3: more to them.
7:49
Speaker 1: She did.
7:51
Speaker 3: She did have a sentence condemning Hamas for the murder
7:55
Speaker 3: of twelve hundred civilians, although she didn't say they murdered
7:57
Speaker 3: twelve hundred civilians. But she did have a sentence condemning Hamas,
8:01
Speaker 3: which I guess in the Democrat party counts for some
8:03
Speaker 3: monica of bravery. But and that, as I said, got
8:08
Speaker 3: polite applause. But where the stadium erupted was when she
8:13
Speaker 3: said she stood with the Palestinian people. That again, is
8:18
Speaker 3: is the radical nature of today's Democrat Party.
8:22
Speaker 1: You know.
8:22
Speaker 2: One of the I think most disgusting moments of the
8:25
Speaker 2: night was when Kamala Harris went to grandstand on how
8:29
Speaker 2: she protects because she's an attorney, and she says her
8:33
Speaker 2: only client is the American people. She went on a
8:35
Speaker 2: nice rant about that and how she's never had any
8:39
Speaker 2: private client, it's just the American people. And she basically said,
8:43
Speaker 2: vote for me because I'm the protector in chief. I'm
8:46
Speaker 2: gonna be America's lawyer.
8:48
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm.
8:48
Speaker 2: Gonna defend you from chaos that happens, and you trust
8:54
Speaker 2: me as your lawyer.
8:56
Speaker 1: And she described it this way.
8:59
Speaker 5: Because I believe everyone has a right to safety, to dignity,
9:05
Speaker 5: and to justice.
9:08
Speaker 2: Senator I heard that, and she got a big applause
9:11
Speaker 2: from that line.
9:13
Speaker 1: And I look at reality.
9:16
Speaker 2: Look at the children that are in sex slavery right now.
9:20
Speaker 2: Look at the children that are in that have been
9:22
Speaker 2: trafficked and are being abused as they are working for
9:25
Speaker 2: nothing like we see in countries like China with slave
9:30
Speaker 2: labor with among children. Look at the people that have
9:33
Speaker 2: been terrorized by illegal immigrants that have come across the border.
9:37
Speaker 2: Jobs have been taken away, communities that are being attacked,
9:39
Speaker 2: the fetanyol that's coming across the southern border.
9:42
Speaker 1: Take your pick on those.
9:43
Speaker 2: But when she says that everyone has this right to X,
9:46
Speaker 2: Y and z, she's the one that's that has actually
9:49
Speaker 2: done the opposite of that. She's been a lawyer for anybody.
9:52
Speaker 2: It's been for the cartels and the illegal immigrants.
9:55
Speaker 3: Well, and that's the embodiment of the third characteristic of
9:58
Speaker 3: the speech that I mentioned, disconnected from reality. In this speech,
10:04
Speaker 3: she leaned in heavily to being a prosecutor, and suddenly
10:07
Speaker 3: being a prosecutor is a good thing again. For a
10:09
Speaker 3: long time among Democrats, it was not, But tonight she
10:14
Speaker 3: was playing the part of prosecutor and tough guy, and
10:18
Speaker 3: you know what was really there were a lot of
10:19
Speaker 3: things that were bizarre about the speech, but one of
10:21
Speaker 3: the most bizarre things at no point in the speech
10:26
Speaker 3: did she acknowledge that she is the sitting vice president
10:29
Speaker 3: of the United States, that she is part of the
10:33
Speaker 3: current administration, that she goes to work in the White
10:35
Speaker 3: House every day, that Joe Biden right now, this instant
10:40
Speaker 3: is the president of the United States, and this whole speech,
10:43
Speaker 3: it was written as if she were the challenger, as
10:47
Speaker 3: if Donald Trump was the president, and she has no
10:50
Speaker 3: responsibility for any policies whatsoever. You know, you think about it. Historically,
10:55
Speaker 3: a vice president running to succeed an incumbent president runs
11:00
Speaker 3: on here's our record, here's what we accomplished. Go back
11:05
Speaker 3: and listen to the speech again. There's virtually nothing in
11:08
Speaker 3: the speech that says, here's what we accomplished. There's not
11:11
Speaker 3: a word about what we accomplished on the economy. She
11:14
Speaker 3: didn't say anything about that. There's certainly not a word
11:18
Speaker 3: about what she and Joe Biden accomplished on inflation, because
11:21
Speaker 3: it's been an absolute train wreck. There's not a word
11:23
Speaker 3: about what they accomplished on the debt, because the debt
11:26
Speaker 3: has skyrocketed. There's certainly not a word on what they
11:29
Speaker 3: accomplished on the border, because the border has been the
11:32
Speaker 3: worst illegal immigration in our nation's history. There's not a
11:35
Speaker 3: word about what they accomplished on crime. Even when she's
11:38
Speaker 3: beating her chest and saying she's a prosecutor, there's not
11:41
Speaker 3: a word about this. It is all entirely disconnected from
11:46
Speaker 3: the last four years. And when she says that everyone
11:51
Speaker 3: has a right to safety, I don't think there was
11:54
Speaker 3: a line in the speech that made me more angry.
11:57
Speaker 3: Because her entire political career, all of it, has been
12:02
Speaker 3: devoted to undermining the safety of the vulnerable. Kamala Harris
12:07
Speaker 3: has been the borders are for the last four years.
12:11
Speaker 3: She is responsible for every damn murderer she and Joe
12:15
Speaker 3: Biden release. She is responsible for every rapist, every child molester,
12:20
Speaker 3: every drunk driver.
12:21
Speaker 1: Look.
12:22
Speaker 3: The same day she was giving this speech, Donald Trump
12:27
Speaker 3: was at the border, and he was there with the
12:30
Speaker 3: parents of Rachel Marin, the beautiful mother of five who
12:33
Speaker 3: was raped and murdered in suburban Maryland. She was also
12:36
Speaker 3: there with Alexis Nungary, the mom of Joscelyn Hungary, the
12:41
Speaker 3: beautiful twelve year old girl raped and murdered in Houston,
12:46
Speaker 3: and they shared the agony. As you know, I've gotten
12:50
Speaker 3: to know Joscelyn's mom, I've gotten to know Joscelyn's grandfather,
12:54
Speaker 3: the pain, the agony I have sat in their living room. Look,
13:00
Speaker 3: the worst pain anyone could endure is a parent losing
13:05
Speaker 3: a child, and even worse than that is to lose
13:09
Speaker 3: a child in an instance where you know the utter
13:13
Speaker 3: hell that your child endured in her last hours on earth.
13:19
Speaker 3: What happened to Joscelyn was sick and twisted, and Kamala
13:23
Speaker 3: Harris took zero responsibility for the fact that it is
13:27
Speaker 3: her policies. The Biden Harris administration had those murderers in
13:33
Speaker 3: custody when they came from Venezuela. There were three thousand
13:37
Speaker 3: open beds. They could have held them in attention, they
13:41
Speaker 3: could have deplored them and Joscelyn would still be alive.
13:44
Speaker 3: But instead, because Kamala Harris wanted political power, she let
13:50
Speaker 3: them go. Those murderers came to Houston and they raped
13:53
Speaker 3: and murdered that precious angel. That is happening day after
13:57
Speaker 3: day after day. And by the way, Kamala's record goes
14:00
Speaker 3: back for years on this. It's not just open borders,
14:03
Speaker 3: which she has always supported, but it is also crime.
14:07
Speaker 3: She has consistently stood with violent criminals in Minneapolis when
14:14
Speaker 3: Black Lives Matter and Antifa rioters were burning Minneapolis.
14:17
Speaker 1: What did she do.
14:18
Speaker 3: She didn't stand for the safety of the citizens of Minneapolis.
14:21
Speaker 3: She didn't stand and defend the police whose cars were
14:25
Speaker 3: being firebombed. She didn't stand and defend the shopkeepers who
14:28
Speaker 3: were being looted.
14:29
Speaker 1: No, what did she do.
14:31
Speaker 3: She raised money to bail out of jail the violent criminals.
14:35
Speaker 3: Over and over and over again. When Kamala has faced
14:38
Speaker 3: a choice, do you stand with the American people, do
14:42
Speaker 3: you stand with the victims of crime, or do you
14:44
Speaker 3: stand with the criminals. Consistently and without fail she has
14:49
Speaker 3: stood with the criminals. That's her record as vice president,
14:53
Speaker 3: that was her record as a United States Senator. And
14:56
Speaker 3: as I said, this speech was utterly disconnec from reality.
15:01
Speaker 3: It is as if she's running as a challenger and
15:05
Speaker 3: she is treating Trump as the sitting president of the
15:08
Speaker 3: United States.
15:09
Speaker 2: She also presented what I would refer to as the
15:12
Speaker 2: Deal with the Devil. She said, and I want to
15:15
Speaker 2: play this because I think it's important for people to
15:17
Speaker 2: understand just the amount of lies in this speech. When
15:21
Speaker 2: it came to the border, she said, I know the
15:23
Speaker 2: importance of safety and security at the border. And there
15:25
Speaker 2: was one little line in there, and I'm sure Center
15:28
Speaker 2: you heard it because you were watching this live and
15:30
Speaker 2: I was as well. Where she said, and I'm quoting
15:33
Speaker 2: it because I wanted to stand out to everybody when
15:35
Speaker 2: we play it. She said, we can create an earned
15:38
Speaker 2: pathway to citizenship and secure our border.
15:41
Speaker 1: There it is, let.
15:42
Speaker 2: Me give amnesty to twenty million or however many have
15:46
Speaker 2: gotten into this country, and then I'll give you security.
15:50
Speaker 2: It was only one line to explain her intent. Here's
15:55
Speaker 2: a bunch of other words she used around it.
15:57
Speaker 1: Listen and let me be there, and let me be clear.
16:02
Speaker 5: After decades in law enforcement, I know the importance of
16:07
Speaker 5: safety and security, especially at our border. Last year, Joe
16:13
Speaker 5: and I brought together Democrats and conservative Republicans to write
16:18
Speaker 5: the strongest border bill in decades. The Border Patrol endorsed it.
16:23
Speaker 5: But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign,
16:29
Speaker 5: so he ordered his allies in.
16:32
Speaker 1: Congress to kill the deal.
16:36
Speaker 5: Well, I refuse to play politics with our security, and
16:40
Speaker 5: here is my pledge to you as president.
16:44
Speaker 1: I will bring back.
16:46
Speaker 5: The bipartisan border security bill that he killed, and I
16:49
Speaker 5: will sign it into law.
16:53
Speaker 1: I know, I know we can live.
16:57
Speaker 5: Up to our proud heritage as a nation of immigrants
17:02
Speaker 5: and reform our broken immigration system. We can create an
17:10
Speaker 5: earned pathway to citizenship and secure our border.
17:16
Speaker 2: First thing, let's just clear up, because he were in
17:19
Speaker 2: the Senate when this whole quote toughest bill ever bipartisan
17:24
Speaker 2: was happening. She didn't tell you the whole truth on that,
17:28
Speaker 2: did She.
17:29
Speaker 3: Almost every word of what she said there was deliberately false.
17:35
Speaker 3: So Number one, this so called border deal was written
17:39
Speaker 3: by Chuck Schumer, and it was designed to put in
17:43
Speaker 3: the law Joe Biden's open border policies to continue this
17:47
Speaker 3: invasion at the border in perpetuity. This bill is a disaster.
17:52
Speaker 3: It codified, it wrote into law catch and release. That's
17:55
Speaker 3: the policy that caused this crisis that came from Joe
17:57
Speaker 3: Biden to Kamala Harris. It wrote into law that illegal
18:01
Speaker 3: immigrants when they came here would automatically be given work
18:04
Speaker 3: authorization and allowed to work, which continues the magnet drawing
18:07
Speaker 3: people here illegally. It wrote into law that many illegal
18:11
Speaker 3: aliens would be given taxpayer funded attorneys. It wrote into
18:15
Speaker 3: law that billions of dollars would be sent to sanctuary
18:18
Speaker 3: cities and to the NGOs that are helping the drug
18:22
Speaker 3: traffickers and the human traffickers bring illegal aliens into this country.
18:27
Speaker 3: And it normalized five thousand illegal immigrants a day. That's
18:31
Speaker 3: one point eight million illegal immigrants a year, every year, forever,
18:37
Speaker 3: into perpetuity. The lead Democrat negotiator on this was Chris Murphy,
18:42
Speaker 3: one of the most partisan left wing Democrats in the
18:45
Speaker 3: entire Senate.
18:47
Speaker 1: Chris Murphy.
18:47
Speaker 3: When the bill was introduced, he very candidly and openly said,
18:51
Speaker 3: this bill does not close the border. So when she
18:55
Speaker 3: says I'm going to sign this bill and secure the border,
18:58
Speaker 3: she is lying. She knows it doesn't secure the border.
19:02
Speaker 3: She doesn't want it to secure the border. She wants
19:05
Speaker 3: millions of illegal aliens to keep coming in year after
19:08
Speaker 3: year after year. And her line that the reason it
19:13
Speaker 3: failed was because Trump politically wanted it to fail, that
19:16
Speaker 3: is utterly false. So Schumer and the Democrats kept the
19:19
Speaker 3: details of this bill a secret right until the very
19:22
Speaker 3: end when they release the bill. It collapsed within twenty
19:25
Speaker 3: four hours once people read the text. Because the bill
19:27
Speaker 3: was a joke. It was a disaster. It would have
19:30
Speaker 3: made the problem worse. She knows that, but she's playing
19:36
Speaker 3: political games, and I'll tell you the press is going
19:39
Speaker 3: to go along with her and repeat that lie over
19:42

Speaker 2: and having to use that firearm to protect myself in
19:57
Speaker 2: a shooting, I wouldn't be here right now. Shooting is
20:01
Speaker 2: one of my favorite pastimes. I even own a gun

20:05
Speaker 2: able to protect and defend themselves and their family. Well,
20:08
Speaker 2: I also want to talk about how tough our forty

Speaker 2: go back to work for the American people is a
20:22
Speaker 2: powerful and resilient leader.

21:34
Speaker 2: let me ask you another question about her speech, and
21:39
Speaker 2: that is, let's take a step back from from what
21:42
Speaker 2: she had to say on the on the immigration issue
21:45
Speaker 2: and those lies. But she had also she said you
21:49
Speaker 2: can trust me on foreign policy, and you can trust
21:53
Speaker 2: me on the economy. It's like she's never been elected,
21:57
Speaker 2: that she's somehow implying that she's not really in power,
22:01
Speaker 2: that she's asking for a job when she's already the
22:03
Speaker 2: vice president of the United States of America. I mean,
22:06
Speaker 2: I posted a couple things about this on Socialist and
22:09
Speaker 2: number one, there's nothing quote joyful that was a theme
22:12
Speaker 2: of the convention about paying twenty two percent more for
22:14
Speaker 2: groceries since Kamala took office. But that's the reality. And
22:21
Speaker 2: she says day one she's gonna do all of these things.
22:25
Speaker 2: Day one for Kamala Harris was January the twentieth of
22:28
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one. She created this mess, and she's acting
22:32
Speaker 2: like she wasn't even a part of it.
22:34
Speaker 3: Well, and interestingly enough, when you say that she says
22:37
Speaker 3: she's going to do all of these things, she actually
22:40
Speaker 3: had no policy that she laid out in any of this.
22:45
Speaker 3: So when she's talking about inflation, she says, I'm going
22:49
Speaker 3: to lower prices, but she doesn't talk about her ridiculous
22:52
Speaker 3: policy proposals in the last couple of weeks or her
22:55
Speaker 3: government price controls that are going to set the prices
22:58
Speaker 3: of brocl in the grocery store. She didn't mention that
23:01
Speaker 3: at all. She didn't talk about her proposal to give
23:04
Speaker 3: away twenty five thousand dollars to anyone who wants to
23:06
Speaker 3: buy a house, which is a proposal that would only
23:10
Speaker 3: drive up the cost of houses by I don't know,
23:12
Speaker 3: twenty five thousand dollars, and drive up a debt and
23:16
Speaker 3: drive up inflation. She didn't talk about any of the policy proposals.
23:19
Speaker 3: She just said, I'm going to lower the prices of everything.
23:23
Speaker 3: She also, by the way, did not talk about all
23:27
Speaker 3: of the policies that she and Biden have put in
23:29
Speaker 3: place attacking oil and gas production in the United States,
23:33
Speaker 3: which is a huge driver number one of inflation in
23:36
Speaker 3: the price of gasoline. They caused this because they wanted it,
23:39
Speaker 3: but number two, it's a huge driver in every other
23:42
Speaker 3: form of inflation. She didn't mention any of that as well.
23:44
Speaker 3: She just said, I'm going to lower your prices while
23:47
Speaker 3: I'm gonna pull out my magic wand I'm going to
23:49
Speaker 3: wave it in the air.
23:51
Speaker 4: Now.
23:51
Speaker 3: On foreign policy, she said she would stand up to
23:55
Speaker 3: her enemy. She did lean in hard on Ukraine, which
23:58
Speaker 3: that's become a ver choose signal for Democrats now. She
24:02
Speaker 3: didn't acknowledge that her administration's waiving the sanctions on Nordstream
24:07
Speaker 3: too and giving a multi billion dollar gift to Putin
24:10
Speaker 3: is what enabled and caused the war in Ukraine. She
24:13
Speaker 3: didn't acknowledge that at all. She did say she'd stand
24:16
Speaker 3: up to Iran without acknowledging that she and Joe Biden
24:20
Speaker 3: have given the Iyatola Kameinee over one hundred billion dollars
24:25
Speaker 3: that they continue today while she's giving this speech, her
24:30
Speaker 3: administration is still not enforcing oil sanctions against Iran the
24:35
Speaker 3: money they are making. Iran is selling two million barrels
24:38
Speaker 3: a day of oil. When she came into office, Iran
24:41
Speaker 3: was selling three hundred thousand barrels a day in oil.
24:43
Speaker 3: That delta between three hundred thousand a day and two
24:46
Speaker 3: million a day has been over eighty billion dollars, and
24:50
Speaker 3: they're still allowing Iran to do it. Iran is funding Hamas,
24:54
Speaker 3: is funding Hesbela. Ninety percent of Hamas's budget comes from Iran.
24:58
Speaker 3: Ninety percent of Hesbela's budget comes from Moran. And she
25:02
Speaker 3: didn't acknowledge any of that. She just said, I'm going
25:07
Speaker 3: to magically lower prices. And as I said, the disconnected
25:10
Speaker 3: from reality part is, well, wait, you're in office now.
25:14
Speaker 3: If there's some magic ability to lower prices, why aren't
25:18
Speaker 3: you using it today? And of course there isn't. And
25:22
Speaker 3: even more so, it is her policies that have caused
25:25
Speaker 3: this inflation, which she never took ownership of. Look when
25:29
Speaker 3: I mentioned this speech was radical, I want you to
25:32
Speaker 3: listen to what Chris Cuomo said last night on News Nation.
25:36
Speaker 3: Give a listen.
25:37
Speaker 4: Yes, Kamala Harris talked about immigration but excusing the situation
25:42
Speaker 4: of the status quo as being a function of one
25:44
Speaker 4: bill not getting allowed to.
25:46
Speaker 1: Pass by Trump.
25:47
Speaker 4: It's not going to be satisfying, not to independent voters,
25:50
Speaker 4: not for people who study.
25:51
Speaker 2: The issue, not to independent voters. And that's the big question.
25:55
Speaker 2: Did she move the needle in this speech within pennant voters.
26:01
Speaker 2: I don't think she did, Senator, I really don't.
26:03
Speaker 3: Well, look, I hope you're right, but but the fourth
26:06
Speaker 3: characteristic I said was was dangerous as hell. Uh And
26:11
Speaker 3: and and and that worries me. I I think she
26:15
Speaker 3: read the speech just fine. I think it was well
26:17
Speaker 3: written by a cadre of Democrats speechwriters, and and and listen.
26:23
Speaker 3: She also blasted Trump. She blasted Trump with a whole
26:26
Speaker 3: series of lies. One of the things the Democrats have
26:29
Speaker 3: done relentlessly is going after Project twenty twenty five, which
26:33
Speaker 3: was written by the Heritage Foundation. And Trump has rightly
26:36
Speaker 3: said he hasn't read what they've written, and he doesn't
26:39
Speaker 3: know what it is, and it's not what he's campaigning on,
26:41
Speaker 3: which is of course right. And by the way, in
26:43
Speaker 3: every campaign, they're all sorts of different think tanks on
26:46
Speaker 3: the left and right that write what they want their
26:49
Speaker 3: candidate to do, and and their left wing think tanks,
26:52
Speaker 3: right wing think tanks. That doesn't mean it's what the
26:53
Speaker 3: candidate's gonna do. But but but she deliberately went after
26:58
Speaker 3: and tarred Trumps, as have the other speakers at the convention,
27:01
Speaker 3: and has had the Democrats for a long time with
27:05
Speaker 3: what she described as a really radical agenda that has
27:10
Speaker 3: the potential to be dangerous. And I'm going to predict. Look,
27:13
Speaker 3: I think she will get a slight, a modest bump
27:18
Speaker 3: out of this. I actually think most of the bump
27:20
Speaker 3: you get out of a convention she's already gotten because
27:24
Speaker 3: we've had effectively a month long convention for a month,
27:27
Speaker 3: the media has been relentlessly doing a coronation of Kamala Harris,
27:31
Speaker 3: not just a coronation, a canonization. They've been turning her
27:35
Speaker 3: into a saint. And I think this speech, although there
27:39
Speaker 3: was a lot of substance missing, although there were radical
27:42
Speaker 3: things slipped into it, and although it was, as I said,
27:45
Speaker 3: utterly disconnected from reality, if you didn't pay that close
27:50
Speaker 3: of attention, it sounded nice. It sounded aspirational. She smiled
27:56
Speaker 3: a lot. She didn't say anything that if you're just
27:59
Speaker 3: listening to that sentence, that sounded on its face crazy.
28:03
Speaker 3: And my prediction is next week will be the highest
28:08
Speaker 3: numbers Kamala Harris has this entire election. I think it
28:10
Speaker 3: will be next week. I think she's on a sugar high,
28:13
Speaker 3: and I think we will start to see her numbers
28:15
Speaker 3: go down after next week. But I think next week
28:18
Speaker 3: will be the high point. And in my view, the
28:22
Speaker 3: key to this election, what the Trump campaign needs to
28:25
Speaker 3: do every day is focus on her actual record, focus
28:29
Speaker 3: on the fact that she is not the challenger, She
28:32
Speaker 3: is not out of power. She is in office right now.
28:36
Speaker 3: The problems that she's campaigning against she caused, her policies
28:42
Speaker 3: caused the chaos at the southern border. Not only did
28:46
Speaker 3: she cause, not only was she in charge of as
28:48
Speaker 3: the borders are, but she continues to cause them. She
28:51
Speaker 3: doesn't change them even today. The inflation she caused and
28:56
Speaker 3: Joe Biden caused by out of control spending in debt,
28:59
Speaker 3: and by their as salt on oil and gas driving
29:01
Speaker 3: up energy costs. The Trump campaign needs to lay out
29:05
Speaker 3: the facts, lay out the record, and on substance. I
29:10
Speaker 3: think this race, I think every day after next week,
29:13
Speaker 3: Kamala's numbers go down.
29:15
Speaker 2: It's interesting that you said they need to lay at
29:16
Speaker 2: these facts and the rapid response from the Trump campaign.
29:19
Speaker 2: I think did a pretty damn good job during the
29:22
Speaker 2: Democratic Convention laying some of this out, because right at
29:24
Speaker 2: the end of her speech, they sent out a picture
29:29
Speaker 2: with Kamala Harris next to Joe Biden and it said
29:32
Speaker 2: Biden Harris accomplishments.
29:34
Speaker 1: And here it was the bullet points.
29:35
Speaker 2: Allowed fifteen million inveted legals into the country, historic inflation crisis,
29:41
Speaker 2: record high gas prices in all fifty states, record high
29:44
Speaker 2: consumer debt, released terrorists into the country. Ukraine, Russia War, Israel, Humaswar, disaster,
29:53
Speaker 2: to withdrawal from Afghanistan, violent crime skyrocketing, tried to jail
29:58
Speaker 2: political rival in the name of democracy, lied to the
30:01
Speaker 2: American public about Joe's decline, and I think we should
30:05
Speaker 2: talk about that. In a second, Center declared war on
30:08
Speaker 2: American energy. Record low test scores in this country right
30:13
Speaker 2: now for Kate through twelve students, and she was also
30:17
Speaker 2: the most unpopular vice president in US history. Now there's
30:23
Speaker 2: a trust factor here, and I'm not so sure that
30:27
Speaker 2: the Trump campaign has done a good enough job of
30:30
Speaker 2: talking about this issue, and I think they should actually
30:32
Speaker 2: talk about it more, especially at the debate coming up.
30:35
Speaker 2: Is how can we trust you when you clearly covered
30:39
Speaker 2: up the cognitive decline of the president of the United
30:41
Speaker 2: States of America. I think that would resonate with American voters.
30:45
Speaker 2: Can I trust a woman that clearly lied to me
30:49
Speaker 2: for three years?
30:50
Speaker 3: Yeah? I guess I don't see it the same way
30:53
Speaker 3: you do. I think most voters are cynical to politicians
30:56
Speaker 3: across the board. I think they think all politicians are liars.
31:00
Speaker 3: And so did Kamala Harris lie to the American people
31:03
Speaker 3: for four years? Absolutely? Did she cover up Joe Biden's
31:06
Speaker 3: mental decline? Absolutely? I'm not sure that changes a vote,
31:10
Speaker 3: though I think that's a little bit baked into the cake.
31:14
Speaker 3: What I would like to see the conversation on. I
31:17
Speaker 3: think every election turns on the most basic question, are
31:20
Speaker 3: you better off than you were four years ago?
31:22
Speaker 1: A man?
31:23
Speaker 3: And when the Trump campaign gets distracted by issues that
31:28
Speaker 3: are not about how the American people's lives are worse
31:32
Speaker 3: off today than they were when Trump was president. If
31:36
Speaker 3: the campaign gets distracted, it's not making progress. I think
31:40
Speaker 3: it needs to focus every day. And by the way,
31:43
Speaker 3: look that set of bullet points that the campaign put
31:46
Speaker 3: out last night. That was a good set of bullet points.
31:50
Speaker 3: That needs to be very much what Donald Trump is
31:54
Speaker 3: saying on the stump, what he's saying and interviews, what
31:57
Speaker 3: their ads are saying. And the points in there that
32:01
Speaker 3: has not gotten enough attention is the plummeting test scores
32:05
Speaker 3: for kids, and especially African American kids and Hispanic kids.
32:09
Speaker 3: And you know, it was striking tonight at the convention.
32:12
Speaker 3: Earlier in the convention, before Kamala spoke, they had Randy Weiningarten,
32:18
Speaker 3: the leader of one of the big teachers unions, who
32:21
Speaker 3: advocated for shutting down schools for over a year. Tens
32:26
Speaker 3: of millions of school kids had their schools shut down
32:29
Speaker 3: for over a year because of COVID. Kamala was a
32:32
Speaker 3: vocal and vigorous advocate of that, and it will go down,
32:36
Speaker 3: I believe in history, is one of the most catastrophic
32:38
Speaker 3: policies ever implemented that hurt tens of millions of children
32:43
Speaker 3: across this country. I think we need to make that
32:46
Speaker 3: case that kids have been hurt by her radical policies,
32:50
Speaker 3: and you overlay that by her radical immigration policies that
32:53
Speaker 3: are releasing violent criminals that are threatening kids. You overlay
32:57
Speaker 3: that with her radical policies supporting defense funding the police
33:00
Speaker 3: that are releasing violent criminals that are threatening our kids. Look,
33:05
Speaker 3: much of this election is going to come down to
33:10
Speaker 3: suburban voters and suburban women who historically have voted Republican
33:18
Speaker 3: and in recent years have moved left. And suburban women
33:24
Speaker 3: in recent elections have not been fans of Trump personally
33:28
Speaker 3: of his style. However, you look at the number one
33:33
Speaker 3: issue with suburban women, it is illegal immigration and it
33:38
Speaker 3: is crime. Those two together and it goes fundamentally to
33:42
Speaker 3: the safety of their families, the safety of their kids.
33:45
Speaker 3: And I think litigating that case, making the case that
33:49
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris has endangered your family and your children is
33:55
Speaker 3: really important. I also mention on the disconnected from reality.
34:00
Speaker 3: Kamala went through this whole litany that Trump is going
34:04
Speaker 3: to lock up his opponents and and wage war on
34:07
Speaker 3: you and and send American troops against the American people,
34:12
Speaker 3: and it really was a dystopian mad Max picture of
34:17
Speaker 3: Trump as a deranged dictator. And listen, that's the kind
34:21
Speaker 3: of rhetoric that sells well with left wing Democrats, but
34:26
Speaker 3: it ignores the fact that we had four years with
34:29
Speaker 3: Donald Trump as president. He didn't do any of that.
34:33
Speaker 3: For that matter, the party that has done much of
34:37
Speaker 3: that has been Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that have
34:40
Speaker 3: used the Department of Justice and the FBI to attack
34:43
Speaker 3: their their political opponents over and over and over again,
34:46
Speaker 3: especially Donald Trump, but also pro life activists, also individual
34:51
Speaker 3: conservatives engaged in free speech that they've engaged in the
34:54
Speaker 3: most massive effort of censorship in bed with big tech,
34:59
Speaker 3: and making that case that look, we know what a
35:03
Speaker 3: Trump presidency is like, We've been through it, and in
35:07
Speaker 3: almost every circumstance, the lives of Americans were better when
35:12
Speaker 3: Trump was president than they are now. That contrast, every
35:16
Speaker 3: day between now an election day needs to be front
35:19
Speaker 3: and center.
35:19
Speaker 2: I've got two more questions I want to ask you.
35:21
Speaker 2: Before I do that, though, I want to tell you
35:23
Speaker 2: about in Patriot Mobile, Americans are very tired and frustrated
35:28
Speaker 2: by giving their money to companies that actually hate their values. Well,
35:31
Speaker 2: in the big mobile world, there's a lot of companies
35:35
Speaker 2: that hate your values, your conservative Christian values, and thankfully
35:39
Speaker 2: there are companies like Patriot Mobile that still believe in
35:42
Speaker 2: America and believe in our constitution.
35:44
Speaker 1: Now.
35:44
Speaker 2: I've been a proud partner with Patriot Mobile now for
35:47
Speaker 2: about a decade. They've been in business for over a decade.
35:51
Speaker 2: They found out when they were paying their bills to
35:53
Speaker 2: the big mobile companies where their money was going.
35:55
Speaker 1: It was going to.
35:56
Speaker 2: Hardcore leftist causes, candidates and organizations, including those that support, advocate,
36:03
Speaker 2: and pay for abortions. That is exactly why I want
36:07
Speaker 2: you to switch to Patriot Mobile, because not only are
36:10
Speaker 2: they in the front lines fighting for our First and
36:12
Speaker 2: Second Amendment rights, but they put their money where their
36:14
Speaker 2: mouth is. They take about five percent of your bill
36:16
Speaker 2: every month, that no extra cost to you, and they
36:19
Speaker 2: give it back to conservative organizations that support the sanctity
36:22
Speaker 2: of life, support our military, support our first responders and
36:25
Speaker 2: our wounded warriors, support our First and our Second Amendment.
36:30
Speaker 2: So if you're ready to take a stand with your dollars, well,
36:32
Speaker 2: then you need to switch to Patriot Mobile.
36:35
Speaker 1: I'm going to give you a free month of.
36:36
Speaker 2: Service and you're going to get the same nationwide coverage
36:40
Speaker 2: as the big providers because they all now in twenty
36:42

36:56

37:29
Speaker 2: I got two questions I want to ask you. One
37:32
Speaker 2: of them goes back to are the American people dumb enough?
37:36
Speaker 2: Or are they going to be offended by one of
37:37
Speaker 2: the things that Kamala Harris said. She said she accepted
37:41
Speaker 2: the Democrats nomination on behalf of the people.
37:46
Speaker 1: No one voted for this woman, No one.
37:49
Speaker 5: Be clear, my entire career, I've only had one client,
37:54
Speaker 5: the people, and so on. Behalf of the people.
38:05
Speaker 1: On.
38:05
Speaker 5: Behalf of every American, regardless of party, race, gender, or
38:13
Speaker 5: the language of grandmother speaks.
38:17
Speaker 4: On.
38:17
Speaker 5: Behalf of my mother and everyone who has ever set
38:23
Speaker 5: out on their own unlikely journey.
38:28
Speaker 2: On.
38:28
Speaker 5: Behalf of Americans, like the people I grew up with,
38:33
Speaker 5: people who work hard, chase their dreams, and look out
38:38
Speaker 5: for one another. On behalf of everyone whose story could
38:44
Speaker 5: only be written in the greatest nation on earth.
38:51
Speaker 1: I accept your nomination.
38:54
Speaker 2: To be president and high of face center, great story,
39:00
Speaker 2: eight words, great speech writing, thoes this one problem.
39:03
Speaker 1: No one voted for her.
39:06
Speaker 3: You know, I got to say again, I don't think
39:08
Speaker 3: that's an issue that actually is going to move a
39:11
Speaker 3: single vote today. So the people that would be mad
39:14
Speaker 3: that no one voted for are the Democrats who voted
39:17
Speaker 3: for Joe Biden, and other than Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.
39:23
Speaker 3: Jill Biden, and Hunter Biden. I don't know that there
39:27
Speaker 3: is a fourth Democrat in America that is mad right now.
39:30
Speaker 3: Every one of them is thrilled and relieved that they
39:35
Speaker 3: don't have what they perceived as the millstone around their neck.
39:38
Speaker 3: That was Joe Biden bringing them to a certain loss,
39:42
Speaker 3: and they all believe they now have a real chance
39:45
Speaker 3: at victory in November. So there's not a single voter
39:49
Speaker 3: on the Democrats side of the aisle who is angry
39:52
Speaker 3: that they are disenfranchised, and I think anybody else, frankly
39:57
Speaker 3: doesn't care. So that Riff, to be honest, I thought
40:01
Speaker 3: that Riff was was pretty effective. I thought it was
40:04
Speaker 3: well written. She did a good job of leaning into
40:07
Speaker 3: her record as Attorney General. You notice, by the way,
40:10
Speaker 3: there was essentially not a word about her time as Senator.
40:12
Speaker 3: I served with her in the US Senate.
40:14
Speaker 1: For man, I mean, there was nothing there.
40:17
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you that she was the
40:19
Speaker 3: most liberal senator in the entire US Senate. She voted
40:23
Speaker 3: to the left of Bernie Sanders and to the left
40:28
Speaker 3: of Elizabeth Warren, that is hard to do. I served
40:31
Speaker 3: with Bernie and Elizabeth. They're both really whacked out on
40:34
Speaker 3: the far left, and Kamala was further left. Remember Kamala
40:38
Speaker 3: as a senator. In one hearing she compared ice are
40:42
Speaker 3: our immigration agents with to the KKK, which was grotesque
40:46
Speaker 3: and offensive, and all of that she just erased. Instead,
40:50
Speaker 3: she leaned into her time and by the way, she
40:53
Speaker 3: she largely erased her time as DA as well, because
40:56
Speaker 3: her time as DA was a train wreck. She basically
40:59
Speaker 3: leaned into her time as Attorney General. And I got
41:02
Speaker 3: to tell you, state attorneys general, it is a great
41:05
Speaker 3: job because a state ag lets you bring cases that
41:08
Speaker 3: are really politically popular that you could lean in on.
41:11
Speaker 3: So she could say, I fought on behalf of the elderly,
41:14
Speaker 3: on behalf of veterans. Anyone who's been an AG could
41:17
Speaker 3: give that same litany. But it's a pretty effective litany.
41:20
Speaker 3: And saying, you know, she described going to court and saying,
41:23
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris for the people. I got to say, having
41:26
Speaker 3: spent five and a half years as Solicitor General of Texas,
41:30
Speaker 3: any time I was in court and and and and
41:33
Speaker 3: and say ted Cruz for the state of Texas. Look,
41:37
Speaker 3: that would send send a chill down your spine. I
41:41
Speaker 3: understood what she was saying when she was saying that,
41:43
Speaker 3: and I thought rhetorically that was effective. Now the response
41:49
Speaker 3: goes back to what we said before. The response is, well,
41:53
Speaker 3: what have her policies done for the people? And they
41:56
Speaker 3: have hurt the people over and over and over again.
42:01
Speaker 3: Her record as Senator and her record as Vice President
42:06
Speaker 3: has been Kamala Harris for the criminals, Kamala Harris for
42:10
Speaker 3: the drug cartels, Kamala Harris for the human traffickers, Kamala
42:14
Speaker 3: Harris for the Ayatola, Kamala Harris for Hamas and Hesbela,
42:20
Speaker 3: because the money she sent to the Ayatola went to
42:23
Speaker 3: Hamas and Hesbela, Kamala Harris for communist China. There was
42:26
Speaker 3: virtually not a word about China and this entire speech
42:29
Speaker 3: because this administration has been in bed with China from
42:32
Speaker 3: day one. Her record has consistently been siding with everybody
42:37
Speaker 3: except the American people. But in order for that point
42:42
Speaker 3: to be made, it's incumbent on the Trump campaign to
42:46
Speaker 3: make that point, because the media sures Heck isn't.
42:49
Speaker 2: Which brings me my final question there is a chance
42:52
Speaker 2: we could have a October surprise on Friday. There is
42:57
Speaker 2: reporting out there, and this is pure spect. I want
43:00
Speaker 2: to make that very clear that RFK Junior will be
43:05
Speaker 2: with Trump and could possibly endorse Donald Trump.
43:11
Speaker 1: How big of an impact could that have on this race?
43:13
Speaker 2: If you go back and look at history, whether it's
43:15
Speaker 2: a Green Party, whether it's you know, NAT, or whether
43:18
Speaker 2: it's Parole, these third party candidates can absolutely sway an
43:23
Speaker 2: election one way or the other.
43:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I don't know. So so RFK is dropping
43:29
Speaker 3: out that that is happening at this very instant, So
43:32
Speaker 3: he is pulling his name off of the ballot. That's happening.
43:36
Speaker 3: Whether or not he endorses Trump, I don't know for sure.
43:39
Speaker 3: I find it plausible that he will. I think he
43:42
Speaker 3: really hates Biden and Harris and and and so if
43:46
Speaker 3: he does endorse Trump, look, I think that's certainly a positive,
43:50
Speaker 3: and it may even be a meaningful positive. I don't
43:52
Speaker 3: know how significant that will be. When Biden was running,
43:57
Speaker 3: there was potentially a significant share of the vote that
44:02
Speaker 3: was disaffect affected Democrats who were unhappy with Joe Biden,
44:06
Speaker 3: who recognized that he had serious mental decline that he
44:09
Speaker 3: wasn't up to being commander in chief. Who were voting
44:11
Speaker 3: for RFK as a protest vote. I think what Kamala
44:15
Speaker 3: has done is largely brought back those disaffected Democrats. If
44:19
Speaker 3: you look across the country, we're seeing polling numbers across
44:23
Speaker 3: the country where Democrats are up anywhere from five to
44:25
Speaker 3: eight points. And what has happened is the Democrats had
44:29
Speaker 3: been fractured and divided and they've now become united. And
44:32
Speaker 3: then they're united because they have hope again, because they're
44:35
Speaker 3: they're They're like a drowning man who's been thrown a
44:37
Speaker 3: life preserver. So I hope RFK does endorse Trump. I think,
44:42
Speaker 3: as I said, that's a positive.
44:45
Speaker 1: But at this.
44:45
Speaker 3: Point, I'm not sure there are many RFK voters who
44:52
Speaker 3: were going to be Democrat voters. If a few of
44:54
Speaker 3: them they but you know what they that they to
44:57
Speaker 3: the extent there are RFK voters and they still show
44:59
Speaker 3: up and vote. If we're dis affected Trump voters and
45:01
Speaker 3: they come back to Trump, that's a plus, and so
45:04
Speaker 3: I'm glad of it, But I don't want to overstate
45:07
Speaker 3: the consequence of it either.
45:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be very interesting to see what
45:11
Speaker 2: it does in the race and at the final tally,
45:13
Speaker 2: especially in swing states, because that's where it would matter
45:16
Speaker 2: in theory the most.
45:18
Speaker 1: That's where it would matter. Don't forget. We do the
45:20
Speaker 1: show Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
