• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about the platform. Sure.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: You know, what's interesting is abolish the police is not
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: in here.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: The language that we actually have about the criminal justice
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: system talks about how currently our police and prison system
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: is stacked toward persecuting poor people and excusing rich people's crimes.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I personally have no problem with having something called a
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: prison be the place where people like that are captive.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: So why abolish prisons the thing?
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Is it just that it's... The language that we have
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: in there is abolishing the police and prison system that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: protects capital.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Good Tuesday morning. Nice to have you with us on
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the 47 Morning Update. And it's time to get into
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: who are the Democrats actually going to be if they
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: get the majority they're demanding in the midterm election. Well,
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: they're doing everything they can to make it seem like
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: they're not as crazy as they actually are. We're going
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: to visit candidates all over the country and let you
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: hear exactly what they're saying in their own words. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: then you can decide just how radical the Marxist, Socialist,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: and Communist in the Democratic Party actually are. Now, I'm
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: going to play for you their words in just a moment.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: But before we get to that, three years ago, terrorists
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: murdered more than 1,200 innocent Israelis in and took 250 hostages. Today,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: as we remember the souls lost on October the 7th,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Israel is still under threat from terror sworn to her destruction.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: and anti-Semitic hatred and violence continue to rise. Yet, as
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the world looks away, the light shines in the darkness.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Christians and Jews are coming together to boldly stand with
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Israel through the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews and
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: an amazing program called Flags of Fellowship across America on
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the anniversary of October the 7th attacks. Churches, synagogues, universities,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: and communities are planting Israeli flags. It's a powerful declaration
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: that Israel is not alone. Now together, we can combat
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: hate and anti-Semitism one flag at a time while supporting
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the fellowship's life-saving work for people in need. So please
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: donate today to plant your flag and boldly show your
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: support for Israel and the Jewish people. You can join
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: this historic movement with a gift of just $ 25. Raise
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: your voice and show the world that Israel is not alone.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: Visit joinfof.org. That's joinfof.org. It's the 47 Morning Update, and
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: it starts right now.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: There is an interesting ad that has come out, and
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I say ad, and I want to play it for you.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: I was asked the question the other day, what is
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: the Democratic agenda? Now, I've been saying for a long
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: time the Democratic Party is dead. I've been saying for
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a long time that I believe the Democratic Party is
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: filled with Marxists, socialists, and communists. If you've ever listened
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: to me before, I've been saying this while people were
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: telling me that that was an extreme statement to say.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: I had people in the media call me up and
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: be like, well, that's just hyperbolic and you're just trying
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: to say this to get ratings or clips or whatever. No,
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: I actually believe it. I genuinely believe it. And what
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: I believe is that the Democratic agenda is to destroy
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: this country, to destroy democracy, and to unleash lawlessness. Now,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Socialists of America, and that is the Democratic Party,
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: they are socialists, they're communists, they're Marxists. They have said
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: that they want to abolish the Senate. They want to
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: replace the presidency. They want to replace the Supreme Court.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: They have said they want to eradicate prisons. They want
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: to get rid of what would make this country a
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: country because a country without borders is no country at all.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: They want to get rid of borders. And they also
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: want to get rid of law enforcement. The warning is
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: not a guess, folks. They're literally telling you, the voter,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: exactly who they are. Now, if you still don't believe
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: what I just said, great. Listen to the Democrats' agenda today.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Not my words, their own words. And we'll start with
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: a guy by the name of Bernie Sanders. He's one
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: of the godfathers of the Marxist Socialist movement within the
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: In the last eight months, Democratic Socialist candidates all over
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this country have been winning major victories.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: We've also seen several candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: of America topple incumbent Democrats in primaries. The co-chair of
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Socialists of America was asked about their platform yesterday.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Abolish the Senate. True. Okay, replace the presidency and Supreme
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Court as we now know them.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Defund the Pentagon.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: A tweet from congressional candidate Cori Bush.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: She called for defunding the Pentagon. We talk about defunding
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the Pentagon. Abolish prisons, at least in large part.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, again, as part of a long-term program, yeah.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Are prisons obsolete?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: What purpose do they serve?
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: We need to completely dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: The language that we have in there is abolishing the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: police and prison system.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: End policing as we know it. Defunding the police has
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: to happen.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Abolishing policing is one segment of reforming our criminal justice system.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: A now-deleted Twitter account of a Democratic Socialist, Arliza Avila-Chefier,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: posts and reposts supporting abolishing police, prisons, and borders.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: I believe that we do need to defund the police.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I have voted against raises for police officers that bankrupted
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the city. You think about, like, cash bail as a system.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: What we're doing is discriminating against poverty. Abolish borders and
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: give amnesty to anyone currently in the U.S.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Illegally.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: As a long-term plan, yep.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: I want to legalize 7 or 8 or 9 or
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: 10 million people in our country. There has to be
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: an immediate pathway for every single undocumented immigrant. We've got...
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: millions of people who are living here in the shadows,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: there needs to be a path to citizenship. Get a
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: We need to be focusing on a pathway to citizenship
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: for those who are here.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: We have 11 million people here who need a pathway
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: to citizenship.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I'm very supportive of bringing immigrants here to stay.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: We think that there should be ways for people to
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: stay here.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: We ought to have a path for those folks to stay.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Abolish ICE.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: We have to abolish ICE.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: This agency should be abolished. ICE has to be abolished.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Abolish ICE.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: We need to rip up ICE.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I've said ICE not only needs to be abolished, they
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: need to be prosecuted.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: ICE will be abolished.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: DHS will be dismantled.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: In 2018, I was calling for the abolishing of ICE.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I voted against the creation of ICE.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: If it were up to me.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: We would completely overhaul.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: I strip the agency down to the studs.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Would you be in support of defunding ICE?
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: I am.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Is the rise of the DSA good for your party? Look,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: we are a big tent party. There it is.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Now, the good news is what I just played for you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: If you would like to share it, I'm going to
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: put it up right now on X. And I'll put
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: it on Instagram as well so you can share it
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: because this is the Democratic agenda. Destroy our democracy. Unleash lawlessness.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Abolish the Senate. Replace the presidency in the Supreme Court.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Eradicate prisons, borders, and law enforcement. They are telling you
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: who they are. Believe them. And then add on it, oh,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: by the way, their latest breaking news, which is we're
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: going to go after Trump donors. We're going to go
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: after cabinet secretaries. We are going to do everything we
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: can to lock up anybody that is connected to the
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: president of the United States of America.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: So I think there's a number of cabinet secretaries that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: have blatantly broken the law, done unconstitutional things. And I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: think they better get ready because we'll come for them.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Congressman Melanie Stansbury, thank you so much for being with
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: us today.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Basically, they should be saying thank you so much for
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: weaponizing our government to destroy anyone that we don't like.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: I want to go back just to that point for
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: a moment and just expand on it a little bit.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: You put that all that I just played for you
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: in that montage together with this other new threat, which
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: is if you're around this president, get ready to be bankrupted.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: If you support this president, get ready for your company
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: to be investigated and we'll come after you. You understand
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: why they're doing what they're doing, why they're saying what
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: they're saying. It's because they want you to be afraid
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: to even support them. the president of the United States
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: of America, or the next conservative person out there, because
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: if you are afraid to support them, then they don't win.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: They have no power. They have no cash. They have
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: no money. You know, you look at what just happened
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: in Hungary, and this is also another example of just
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: how interesting all of this really is. In Hungary, you
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: had a guy by the name of Viktor Orban, who
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: was the leader there. He lost his election. The party
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: that has come in has now banned 50% of his
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: supporters that were in office from ever being in office
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: for running. They have stacked now the Supreme Court and
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: they are going after Victor Orban and anybody in government
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: that was there serving before then. Now you may say, well, like,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: how can they do that? Because they just won the
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: majority and they're now weaponizing the government to silence not
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: only the people, but also the media. They want to
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: make it where it's just not worth the risk. It is,
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: it's just, it's just not worth the risk to go
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: out there and boldly send it for what you believe in.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: Now you may say, Ben, that's hyperbole. You don't actually
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: mean that. All right, fine. Let me give you an example.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: This is really interesting. I love it when people say,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not really sure I believe you. They just um
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: nationalize the media certain parts of the media and the
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: only parts that they nationalized in hungary and i was
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: in budapest speaking uh not once but twice in warning
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: about this i was by the way a supporter of
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: victor orban and what they did was they went in
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: and there was very few conservative media outlets Very much
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: like we have in this country, we have very few
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: major conservative media outlets. Fox News is clearly the leader.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: And what they did is they went in and the
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: new government nationalized the media, specifically the conservative media. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the very first thing they did was shut it down.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: So not only have they banned 50 plus percent of
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the people in the conservative movement who are elected officials
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: from ever being in office again. They then stacked the
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court to get the rulings that they needed to
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: do their second thing, which was to then do what
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: I just told you they did, which was they said, OK,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: all these conservative media outlets and websites and newspapers, yeah,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: we're going to nationalize those and then we're going to
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: immediately shut them down and everybody's fired and you're on
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: a political hit list. This is happening in Hungary because
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: of one election cycle. And they're trying to imprison anybody
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: that was close to Viktor Orban. They're trying to imprison
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: the people that supported Viktor Orban. And they're silencing the
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: people that disagree with the new government by shutting, by
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: nationalizing and then shutting down these media outlets. If you
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: think that the democratic systems of America are any different
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: than what we're witnessing right now and in Hungary, you're wrong.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Like they will do exactly what they're doing in Hungary
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: right here in the United States of America. They will
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: do it. They're telling you what they want to do.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: They're telling you what they hate. They're telling you who
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: they're going to come after. When you take the government
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and the government no longer works for the people, it
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: works for your political ideology. And that is what Democrats
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: are now saying, right? They're telling you, hey, you elect
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: us and we will go after our political enemies that
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: are your political enemies. If you hate Trump, got it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: We're going to go after him. We're going to weaponize
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: our government. We're going to destroy his life. We're going
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: to finish what we tried to start a few years ago.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: But we're going to make it hurt even more. We
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: used to just go after Trump and we just went
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: after Trump and a couple associates around him but mainly
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: went after Trump and his kids. And we were trying
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: to just destroy him financially so he had to file
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: for bankruptcy, wouldn't have the power anymore, he wouldn't be elected,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: he would be caught up in lawfare, and then you
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: guys would have to go with a different candidate. Now
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: they're saying, no, no, no. Hey, guess what? You're a
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: cabinet secretary who's got an incredible record of being an
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: honest human being. Doesn't matter. Lee Zeldin, game on. Scott Bessant,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: game on. Marco Rubio, game on. Maybe you're out of
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: power now. Maybe you've lost your power. Kristi Noem, don't worry,
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: we'll come after you. And I also believe they'll go
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: after ambassadors. There's a real conversation that's happening right now
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: in Washington, D.C. by ambassadors that are worried that they're
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: going to be next because a lot of the ambassadors
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: were huge supporters of the president of the United States
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: of America during his campaign run. And if you're a
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: huge supporter of the president of the United States of America,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Then what the Democratic Party is now saying is, hey,
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: if you're a supporter, you're on the enemies list. You're
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: on the hit list. We're coming after you.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Game on.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: This is what dictators and tyrants do. And this is
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: what this midterm is actually about. It is not about policies.
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Have you noticed that we haven't spoken a word about
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: the policies, really, that the Democrats ran? Because they're not
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: running on policies anymore. They're running on America's evil, destroy America,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: and then weaponize our government to go after our political enemies.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: um opponents so that they are no longer a problem
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: for us it's no different than what we're watching right
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: now in hungary some of the people that interviewed me
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: when i was in budapest speaking of this conference uh
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: have been their lives are their their lives as in
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: their professional lives have been destroyed they will never work
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: again as long as the party that's in power now
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: is in power because they're they're untouchable right you can't
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: hire them because if you do we'll come in and
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: we'll nationalize that organization and we'll shut you down It
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: is truly an enemy's hit list. That is what it is.
