Latest / The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson / Forget Platner, Heeere's Jackson plus Mamdani's Government Groceries & the Lawsuits Were Loaded Before America Voted Week In Review
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Well come in his verdict with Ted Cruz.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Week in Review, Ben Ferguson with you, and here are
- 0:04Speaker 2: some of the big stories that you may have missed
- 0:06Speaker 2: that we talked about. First up, the Democratic candidate to
- 0:10Speaker 2: replace Graham Platner is a guy by the name of
- 0:13Speaker 2: Troy Jackson. He may actually be even worse than Platner,
- 0:17Speaker 2: and we break it down. Also, Mundani in New York City.
- 0:21Speaker 2: He's excited about his government run grocery stores. Well, the
- 0:26Speaker 2: big question is how are they going to work and
- 0:28Speaker 2: who's gonna run them? We explain that as well. And finally,
- 0:32Speaker 2: in a shocking bombshell story, we now have learned that
- 0:36Speaker 2: months before Donald Trump was even elected to his second
- 0:40Speaker 2: term in office, Democrat attorney generals were joining together to
- 0:45Speaker 2: conspire to sue Donald Trump on every single issue. It's
- 0:50Speaker 2: a Week in Review and it starts right now. Let's
- 0:54Speaker 2: talk about the elections here in the midterm. One of
- 0:56Speaker 2: the biggest one everybody was watching, we were heavily involved
- 0:58Speaker 2: in this was Graham Plattner. Graham Platner was a radical extremist.
- 1:03Speaker 2: He's a guy that had the SS tattoo on him.
- 1:06Speaker 2: He was a guy that had countless warning signs. Democrats
- 1:10Speaker 2: defended at all costs until they thought he couldn't win anymore.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Then they excommunicated him.
- 1:15Speaker 2: But the replacement is not much better than Graham Plattner,
- 1:19Speaker 2: which is the funny part of the entire story. It's
- 1:21Speaker 2: like they just changed the name, but there's still the
- 1:23Speaker 2: same set of major issues.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Well, it turned out we learned a lot about today's
- 1:27Speaker 3: Democrats based on the main Senate race. We learned first
- 1:30Speaker 3: of all, that being a Nazi is just fine. That
- 1:32Speaker 3: doesn't disqualify you from the Democrat Party and embracing you,
- 1:36Speaker 3: in fact, not just being a Nazi, but tattooing a
- 1:38Speaker 3: Totin komp the image of the SS and the concentration
- 1:42Speaker 3: camps on your chest for almost every single major Democrat
- 1:46Speaker 3: except John Fetterman. And Fetterman showed courage, but everyone else aok.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Being a communist. Platner explicitly called himself a communist. AOK
- 1:55Speaker 3: with with every national Democrat being a misogynist repeatedly abusing women,
- 2:01Speaker 3: not a problem. Hey, that's the Democrat Party. They're good
- 2:04Speaker 3: with that. Insulting and denigrating veterans great, great by them
- 2:08Speaker 3: hating Israel, great by them being an anti semi no
- 2:11Speaker 3: problem there. Look, you pile one or the other discussing
- 2:17Speaker 3: your bizarre sexual fantasies and porta potties, which was just weird.
- 2:22Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, let's just say that that is strange.
- 2:25Speaker 1: Mild by the way, Yeah, that's like ug rating it
- 2:28Speaker 1: for real.
- 2:28Speaker 3: But you put all those together. And what does Elizabeth
- 2:31Speaker 3: Warren say about Platner? He's my kind of guy? What
- 2:34Speaker 3: is Rocanna? Someone who used to pretend to be a
- 2:37Speaker 3: Democrat moderate? He comes and campaigns with him, says, all right,
- 2:40Speaker 3: Nazi communists, this is.
- 2:42Speaker 4: Who we are. Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders, all of them.
- 2:46Speaker 4: And then what happened?
- 2:48Speaker 3: The polling numbers took a turn down and they suddenly
- 2:52Speaker 3: said Graham who and and they defenestrated him?
- 2:56Speaker 4: All right, Ben, do you know what the word defenestrate means?
- 2:58Speaker 1: I please educate me on this one.
- 3:01Speaker 4: It's actually a great word. Defenestrate means to throw someone.
- 3:05Speaker 1: A word of the week.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I'm gonna use it on the next TV hit and
- 3:07Speaker 2: people are just gonna be like, what did.
- 3:08Speaker 1: He just say?
- 3:10Speaker 3: Defenestrate someone is to throw them out the window, not
- 3:14Speaker 3: the door. It is specifically defenestration is throwing someone out
- 3:19Speaker 3: the window. And they defenestrated Graham Plattner. And then they realized,
- 3:23Speaker 3: oh wait, we got to run somebody, because we want
- 3:26Speaker 3: power more than anything. And so they went and grabbed
- 3:29Speaker 3: a different communist, a different DSA radical, a different white
- 3:34Speaker 3: guy who kind of looks like Graham Plattner. It's almost
- 3:36Speaker 3: like they had a casting call. Okay, guys who can
- 3:39Speaker 3: pretend to be blue collar white guys. All right, you'll
- 3:41Speaker 3: do and and listen. This guy is perfectly normal. Nothing
- 3:46Speaker 3: to see here. Yes he's been a DSA communist. Yes,
- 3:49Speaker 3: he's been a hardcore leftist. Yes he has this really
- 3:52Speaker 3: odd pattern of screaming and yelling and berating women. Wait wait,
- 3:56Speaker 3: that's actually the same thing Platner did. This seems to
- 3:58Speaker 3: be a Democrat Democrat pattern. Oh and there's there's one
- 4:03Speaker 3: more deal. Yeah, he married his cousin and like they
- 4:07Speaker 3: had that they have two kids together with his second cousin.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah, why don't you roll that back about fifteen seconds
- 4:14Speaker 2: or people that are like, wait, did you just say that.
- 4:16Speaker 1: Let's make sure we make that clear.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Look, I think the Democrat that their plan their motto
- 4:24Speaker 3: now is we can handle rape.
- 4:27Speaker 4: We can handle incests. We just can't handle both.
- 4:30Speaker 1: Yeah, one of the other, one of the other.
- 4:33Speaker 2: Right, and let's hold on unless we think you can win,
- 4:35Speaker 2: then all sins are forgiven.
- 4:37Speaker 3: And by the way, I want you to listen to
- 4:40Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren. Remember Elizabeth Warren who said that that Graham Plattner,
- 4:44Speaker 3: the Nazi communist, was her kind of guy. Here's what
- 4:47Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren now says on the incestuous Troy Jackson.
- 4:52Speaker 5: I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good about Troy Jackson. You'll
- 4:56Speaker 5: get to talk to him in just a minute. You'll
- 4:57Speaker 5: see why I'm feeling good. He's the right guy for Maine.
- 5:02Speaker 5: But I'm also feeling good. I'm feeling good about Michigan.
- 5:05Speaker 5: I was just there, as you know. I was just
- 5:07Speaker 5: there before yesterday on the ground campaigning with Abdullah.
- 5:12Speaker 1: I'll say it.
- 5:13Speaker 5: And the energy the people who just can finish the sentences,
- 5:19Speaker 5: you know, get money out of politics, get more money
- 5:23Speaker 5: into people's pockets, and get healthcare for everyone.
- 5:28Speaker 2: She I mean, it is easy to get her excited
- 5:31Speaker 2: about pretty much anybody in politics, is what we're learning now.
- 5:33Speaker 1: As long as you're a crazy Democrat.
- 5:36Speaker 3: And by the way, Abdula, I'll say it. This is
- 5:38Speaker 3: the radical Islamist in Michigan who hates Jews, hates Israel,
- 5:44Speaker 3: and eats America. He is a communist. He is an
- 5:46Speaker 3: open communist. He is an Islamist. He looks at Mondami
- 5:51Speaker 3: and says that guy's too moderate for me, and you
- 5:53Speaker 3: know what she says. I'll say it, He's my kind
- 5:56Speaker 3: of guy. Troy Jackson, I love the fact that Elizabeth
- 5:59Speaker 3: Warren next Troy Jackson to I'll say it. If you
- 6:03Speaker 3: are an America hating communist, to Elizabeth Warren, you're my
- 6:07Speaker 3: kind of guy. If you are an Islamist who hates Jews,
- 6:10Speaker 3: who hates Christians, and hates the United States of America,
- 6:14Speaker 3: to Elizabeth Warren, you're her kind of guy. This is
- 6:19Speaker 3: today's Democrat Party.
- 6:21Speaker 1: This is a pattern here. You keep seeing the pattern forming.
- 6:25Speaker 1: This is you.
- 6:26Speaker 2: I mean, we've been warning about this for a long time.
- 6:29Speaker 2: This is now literally the Democratic Party in their belief system.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Now, look, you might be saying, Gosh, calling these people communists,
- 6:37Speaker 3: calling them America hating Marxists, that's going too far. And listen,
- 6:43Speaker 3: we've got people listening to this podcast. We obviously have conservatives.
- 6:46Speaker 3: We have Republicans, we have libertarians who listen to this podcast,
- 6:49Speaker 3: but we also have Democrats, we have independents, we have
- 6:51Speaker 3: people who are not terribly into politics who listen to it.
- 6:54Speaker 3: So if you might be inclined to be skeptical of
- 6:57Speaker 3: what I'm saying, how about Bill Maher. Bill Maher is
- 7:02Speaker 3: a lifelong liberal, He's a Democrat. He's given millions of
- 7:05Speaker 3: dollars to Democrats in the past. He's an outspoken liberal,
- 7:08Speaker 3: but an old school liberal, back when liberals believed in
- 7:11Speaker 3: things like free speech, back when liberals didn't embrace terrorists
- 7:15Speaker 3: who want to murder us all. They just were more
- 7:17Speaker 3: left wing than you. And I give a listen to
- 7:20Speaker 3: Bill Maher making very much the same points I was
- 7:23Speaker 3: just making.
- 7:24Speaker 6: And finally, Neiral Donald Trump has told one trillion lies.
- 7:27Speaker 6: But when he says the Democratic Socialists of America are
- 7:30Speaker 6: actually communist, that's not one of them. And it's not
- 7:35Speaker 6: hard to prove it just by quoting the DSSA and
- 7:38Speaker 6: their candidates.
- 7:39Speaker 2: Dave E.
- 7:39Speaker 6: Vance was on the show, and I told him that
- 7:41Speaker 6: if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of
- 7:45Speaker 6: the dssay, my vote was in play, and all I
- 7:48Speaker 6: heard all vacation was Oh my god, you're a Republican. Now, No,
- 7:52Speaker 6: that's not what I said. I said in play. And
- 7:56Speaker 6: here's why, because not a week goes by where I
- 7:59Speaker 6: don't read about some newly chosen, exciting, new face in
- 8:03Speaker 6: the Democratic Party, and then when that face opens its mouth,
- 8:07Speaker 6: the communist manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Again.
- 8:13Speaker 6: Let's just read the quotes. The DSA platform says your work,
- 8:18Speaker 6: you work as much as you are able, and no
- 8:20Speaker 6: more than needed. If that was any closer to Karl
- 8:23Speaker 6: Marx's dictum from each according to his abilities, to each
- 8:26Speaker 6: according to his needs, they'd be sued for plagiarism. New
- 8:30Speaker 6: York Mayor Mandani once tweeted Karl Marx's words exactly. They're
- 8:35Speaker 6: not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hassan Piker,
- 8:40Speaker 6: thinks communism is so groovy. He laments the fall of
- 8:44Speaker 6: the two of the most murderous regimes in history, the
- 8:47Speaker 6: Soviet Union and chairman maos China Mendami's aid. His top aid,
- 8:53Speaker 6: Sea Weaver said, if you don't believe in the government's
- 8:55Speaker 6: sacred right to seize property, it's over and impover. The
- 9:00Speaker 6: white middle class. What a that's a goal. You know,
- 9:06Speaker 6: you're supposed to scare people into voting for you.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Right.
- 9:12Speaker 6: One of the new soon to be Democratic Congress people,
- 9:16Speaker 6: Darlezia Chevalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said
- 9:22Speaker 6: seize the means of production. Mendami has said the end
- 9:26Speaker 6: goal is seizing the means of production. I think they
- 9:30Speaker 6: want to seize the means of production. Now maybe you
- 9:34Speaker 6: missed that in school, or missed school altogether, but that's communism.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Now.
- 9:39Speaker 6: The coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group
- 9:43Speaker 6: is in ascendance, and I must take them at their
- 9:45Speaker 6: word when their words include our commitment is to the
- 9:49Speaker 6: long term struggle for a fully liberated, classless society in
- 9:53Speaker 6: a word, communism. What do they have to do tweet
- 9:56Speaker 6: out elect more communists? Oh yeah, see a weaver did that. Yes, good,
- 10:03Speaker 6: I'm glad you're shot. People got to realize this is
- 10:08Speaker 6: going on.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Center.
- 10:11Speaker 2: I got to give full credit there to Bill Maher
- 10:14Speaker 2: for the way that he described how he described his
- 10:16Speaker 2: vote being in play, and to say Donald Trump said
- 10:20Speaker 2: this and he's not lying to you.
- 10:22Speaker 1: This is a very.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Bold moment for Democrats like Bill maher where I think
- 10:25Speaker 2: they're trying to say, you guys have gone crazy, and
- 10:28Speaker 2: maybe unfortunately I may have helped get us there, and
- 10:31Speaker 2: I'm trying to bring us back.
- 10:33Speaker 3: And by the way, when mar said towards the end
- 10:35Speaker 3: of that riff, he said, how could they make it
- 10:37Speaker 3: more explicit? Maybe tweet out elect more Communists? And then
- 10:41Speaker 3: he puts up Sea a weaver, who is who's Mondami's
- 10:43Speaker 3: right hand, and she tweeted that out word for word,
- 10:46Speaker 3: to elect more Communists. And you may or may not
- 10:49Speaker 3: been able to hear, but a woman in the crowd
- 10:52Speaker 3: literally gasps like, like, look in the crowd that goes
- 10:55Speaker 3: to Mar is generally left of center, that they and
- 11:00Speaker 3: they're just but look, they're just shocked the number of
- 11:03Speaker 3: people who don't know don't know what's going on.
- 11:08Speaker 4: Listen.
- 11:08Speaker 3: I tweeted out this weekend an excerpt from Friday's pod
- 11:12Speaker 3: where we were going through all of Fauci's various lies
- 11:15Speaker 3: and his repeated lies, including claiming that the COVID virus
- 11:22Speaker 3: came from the wet market, when he wrote in his
- 11:24Speaker 3: diary at the time that he knew that it did
- 11:26Speaker 3: not he was lying, and I was ready through the
- 11:29Speaker 3: comments of some of the lefties, and they're just like, well,
- 11:31Speaker 3: we believe the science, not crazy right wing things, and
- 11:34Speaker 3: they just like.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Facts no longer matter.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Multiple US government agents have now concluded that COVID came
- 11:41Speaker 3: from a Chinese government lab, including the FBI and HHS
- 11:44Speaker 3: and several government agencies. But to the ignorant left, facts
- 11:49Speaker 3: don't matter. All that matters is ideology.
- 11:53Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
- 11:55Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
- 11:58Speaker 2: from earlier this week.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Now onto story number.
- 12:01Speaker 2: Two's move into Mundami and what is happening right now
- 12:06Speaker 2: in New York. If they if they gain power and
- 12:10Speaker 2: they get in positions of power, you now have a
- 12:12Speaker 2: playbook of what they're going to do with that power.
- 12:15Speaker 1: Look at what.
- 12:16Speaker 2: Mandani has done, and now we have another example of this,
- 12:19Speaker 2: even with his with his communist grocery stores. What's even
- 12:23Speaker 2: so funny about these grocery stores is he was asked
- 12:26Speaker 2: a question about these grocery stores Center and I'm.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Sure you saw this.
- 12:29Speaker 2: It's gone viral where they're like, hey, how do you
- 12:33Speaker 2: going to police people coming in from maybe outside of
- 12:35Speaker 2: New York City to go these grocery stores to buy
- 12:38Speaker 2: these groceries at a reduce rate and IDs. Yeah, id's yeah,
- 12:41Speaker 2: we just make sure they hold up their idea and
- 12:44Speaker 2: they show us that they actually live in New York City.
- 12:47Speaker 2: So you can vote in the election without showing an ID,
- 12:51Speaker 2: but you can't get your communist groceries without an ID.
- 12:54Speaker 1: Got it?
- 12:55Speaker 4: That is democrat logic.
- 12:57Speaker 3: If you want to vote, you don't need an IDA.
- 12:59Speaker 3: In fact, we're to stop anyone from asking for an ID.
- 13:02Speaker 3: If you want to buy government lettuce, show me a
- 13:06Speaker 3: damn ID U thief?
- 13:07Speaker 1: Yeah? How is that, not, by the way, racist?
- 13:09Speaker 2: Because they said showing an ID was a form of
- 13:12Speaker 2: racism and yet to show an ID to buy milk
- 13:15Speaker 2: or eggs, that's not racist. I'm confused on their definition
- 13:19Speaker 2: of racism now.
- 13:20Speaker 3: And by the way, I want to read a thread
- 13:23Speaker 3: from a guy named Nick Konnas who is in the
- 13:27Speaker 3: grocery business, and it was actually a very interesting thread
- 13:30Speaker 3: that I read on Twitter. He said, I downloaded and
- 13:33Speaker 3: reviewed NYC's grocery store RFP as someone who's built businesses
- 13:37Speaker 3: and bought a lot of food. Wow, forget for a
- 13:39Speaker 3: moment whether the government should own a grocery store.
- 13:42Speaker 4: Let's review the doc instead, let's here we go.
- 13:44Speaker 2: And by the way, for pure that don't know, RIP
- 13:46Speaker 2: is a request for a proposal. New York has put
- 13:48Speaker 2: out to the public. These requests for proposals for people
- 13:51Speaker 2: that would want to run these communist grocery stores for them.
- 13:54Speaker 3: So NYC strongly prefers bidders who commit to all five stores.
- 13:57Speaker 3: There are going to be five government run grocery stores,
- 14:00Speaker 3: but three of the five sites haven't been identified. Bidders
- 14:04Speaker 3: are supposed to price unknown stores in unknown neighborhoods by
- 14:09Speaker 3: assuming their quote about fifteen thousand square feet, so you
- 14:14Speaker 3: don't know where it is, you don't know what's going on,
- 14:16Speaker 3: but you want to price it. Bidders get preference for
- 14:20Speaker 3: operating all five stores, presumably because scale lowers cost, but
- 14:25Speaker 3: New York City awards each store separately, so an all
- 14:28Speaker 3: five bidder may win only one. They want scale pricing
- 14:33Speaker 3: while refusing to award scale. The scores must use a
- 14:38Speaker 3: limited SKU model. They must also carry full grocery departments,
- 14:42Speaker 3: household goods, culturally specific products, plus kosher, halal, vegan, gluten free,
- 14:49Speaker 3: dairy free, and diabetic options.
- 14:51Speaker 1: Makes sense.
- 14:53Speaker 3: The RFP says stores won't have deli counters or on
- 14:56Speaker 3: site food prep then its core basket includes chicken salad, eggs,
- 15:01Speaker 3: potato salad, fruit salad, and other deli prepared foods. So
- 15:04Speaker 3: a deli without a deli yeah, oh, and you're going
- 15:09Speaker 3: to ship them in every day prepared, gotcha. NYC chooses
- 15:14Speaker 3: and pays for the design, equipment, refrigeration, and fit out.
- 15:18Speaker 3: The operator pays utilities, maintenance, cleaning, and security. So NYC
- 15:23Speaker 3: makes the capital decisions while somebody else pays for the consequences.
- 15:28Speaker 3: That's how they control the goalposts. The best quote unquote
- 15:32Speaker 3: bid promises thirty percent discounts, best in class wages and benefits,
- 15:37Speaker 3: local sourcing, sustainability, community programs, and full time jobs. Then
- 15:43Speaker 3: twenty percent of the score goes to whoever claims they
- 15:46Speaker 3: need the least subsidy. Low balling is the strategy, and
- 15:51Speaker 3: then cost overruns are guaranteed. Core basket discounts must be
- 15:56Speaker 3: universal quote sticker prices, not promotions. Then the operator must
- 16:01Speaker 3: create a membership card to quote implement a discount program,
- 16:06Speaker 3: which is it universal shelf price or an ID card system.
- 16:10Speaker 3: By the way, also says it's available to all people
- 16:16Speaker 3: and it.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Doesn't even properly target their goals.
- 16:18Speaker 3: Because the subsidy isn't targeted, no means test anyone could
- 16:22Speaker 3: shop there, So taxpayers will subsidize groceries for affluent shoppers
- 16:27Speaker 3: who happen to live nearby, while needy families elsewhere get zero.
- 16:32Speaker 4: I always thought this was a terrible idea.
- 16:36Speaker 3: They could much better help people with money, and hey,
- 16:39Speaker 3: there are already programs that they could expand. But after
- 16:43Speaker 3: reading now I know it's a ridiculous idea. We have
- 16:47Speaker 3: an efficient system, just change the outcomes. So naturally one
- 16:51Speaker 3: asks why would they want to build crappy grocery stores?
- 16:57Speaker 3: There's that tenpenny word again, have conflicting goals and will
- 17:01Speaker 3: be mismanaged because either that's their goal or else they
- 17:06Speaker 3: have no idea how actually to craft an RFP a
- 17:10Speaker 3: run a business. Perhaps my favorite page that I had
- 17:14Speaker 3: not included my original thread is just chef's kiss amazing.
- 17:20Speaker 3: How could you possibly estimate such a thing and such
- 17:23Speaker 3: a level of detail requested? You might want additional spreadsheets.
- 17:27Speaker 3: And then there's a spreadsheet that estimates the sales cost
- 17:31Speaker 3: core basket items, the sales cost non core basket items,
- 17:34Speaker 3: the cost of good souls, the cost of personnel, the
- 17:37Speaker 3: cost of other operational cost programmatic.
- 17:40Speaker 4: Like it is.
- 17:44Speaker 3: These are idiots who've never run a business, who don't
- 17:48Speaker 3: know how to run a business, who are like, let's
- 17:50Speaker 3: give away a bunch of free crap. Let's order people
- 17:54Speaker 3: to give away free crap. Let's not actually think about
- 17:57Speaker 3: how they get the stuff to give away. And isn't
- 18:01Speaker 3: this awesome? We're communists, Yeah, there is a reason. Do
- 18:06Speaker 3: you remember the moment the Soviet Union fell?
- 18:09Speaker 2: And here's my other question over under on getting a
- 18:13Speaker 2: legitimate company, not like political propaganda BS, but a legitimate
- 18:19Speaker 2: company to actually try to run these grocery stores. Do
- 18:22Speaker 2: you think that they're going to get these requests for
- 18:24Speaker 2: proposals that aren't you know already the debt. You know
- 18:27Speaker 2: you're playing the game where it's a genuine grocery. It's like, yep,
- 18:31Speaker 2: I can do this, and I want to do this
- 18:32Speaker 2: business model. I think it can make money. I don't
- 18:34Speaker 2: think anybody would do it.
- 18:36Speaker 3: I don't know how you do business on that. These
- 18:38Speaker 3: grocery stores are going to go broke. They're they're going
- 18:41Speaker 3: to have shortages. They are requiring IDs, which is the
- 18:45Speaker 3: most laughable. Democrat part is fully vested in saying IDs
- 18:50Speaker 3: are horrible, racist, evil things, and they're requiring IDs to
- 18:54Speaker 3: shop at the grocery stores and and this is going
- 18:58Speaker 3: to be And by the way, if they sec seated,
- 19:00Speaker 3: they would drive out of business to the bodegas. If you're
- 19:03Speaker 3: a small Hispanic business owner, the Democrats want to bankrupt you.
- 19:10Speaker 3: And look, I want you to listen. Listen, for example,
- 19:14Speaker 3: to Van Jones, who is a very left wing commentator.
- 19:17Speaker 3: Listen to him talking about the Communist Party, the Democrat Party.
- 19:20Speaker 7: Give a listen, Okay, Van Jones, what are the stakes
- 19:22Speaker 7: here for Democrats? Look, this is the whole ball of wax.
- 19:29Speaker 7: I'm from Jackson, Tennessee. There's a guy named gil Scott
- 19:31Speaker 7: Heron who had a great poem. It was called, the
- 19:34Speaker 7: Revolution will not be televised. Gil scott Heron is wrong.
- 19:39Speaker 7: The revolution is being televised and podcasts and streamed and
- 19:44Speaker 7: elected tonight.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Why is that.
- 19:48Speaker 7: It's because there is a credibility gap that's opened up
- 19:52Speaker 7: between the Democratic Party establishment and this insurgency. People are
- 19:56Speaker 7: looking at people and they're saying, you've been telling us
- 19:58Speaker 7: the same thing for a long time in our lives
- 20:00Speaker 7: are not eating better. We got Donald Trump twice. There's
- 20:02Speaker 7: also an innovation gap. Why can you spend sixty million
- 20:08Speaker 7: dollars and get what like this? Because the old model
- 20:12Speaker 7: was you get the donors to get the consultants to
- 20:16Speaker 7: buy a bunch of ads and you win. That's how
- 20:18Speaker 7: you get attention. This movement says, I don't need donors ads,
- 20:22Speaker 7: I don't need consultants. I'm going right to the people
- 20:24Speaker 7: with TikTok and grassroots and they've disintermediated the entire donor class,
- 20:30Speaker 7: mediated the entire consulting class. And this is a revolution.
- 20:33Speaker 7: And so this is going to happen again and again.
- 20:36Speaker 7: The Democratic Party is now Blockbuster. These kids are Netflix.
- 20:40Speaker 7: We are selling CDs out the trunk. This is a
- 20:43Speaker 7: napster becoming Spotify, and it's happening to night.
- 20:46Speaker 2: By the way, I'm trying to figure out exactly what
- 20:49Speaker 2: Van Jones is saying there.
- 20:51Speaker 1: Is he terrified or.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Is he just saying, I guess I gotta get on
- 20:55Speaker 2: board with this center, Like which one is it? That
- 20:57Speaker 2: was a weird way of putting it, because it's like,
- 21:00Speaker 2: is he's saying that's a mistake, or is he's saying, well,
- 21:02Speaker 2: this is the reality, so we better just get on
- 21:05Speaker 2: board with it.
- 21:05Speaker 1: What is it? I'm not sure.
- 21:07Speaker 4: I think it's more of the former. I think Van is.
- 21:10Speaker 3: My read on that is that he's being courageous and
- 21:13Speaker 3: saying this is a dangerous thing that is happening. But
- 21:15Speaker 3: he's also saying what I said at the beginning of
- 21:18Speaker 3: this podcast, this is the energy, this is the heart,
- 21:21Speaker 3: this is where the Democrat Party is and it's driving
- 21:25Speaker 3: it forward. All right here, I want you to listen
- 21:27Speaker 3: to Francesca Honk. Francesca Hank is likely to be the
- 21:30Speaker 3: Democrat nominee to be governor of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a
- 21:34Speaker 3: purple state. Donald Trump carried Wisconsin in twenty twenty four.
- 21:38Speaker 3: Wisconsin is elected. It has a Republican Senator, Ron Johnson,
- 21:42Speaker 3: is elected numerous Republican governors. Francesca han is a full
- 21:46Speaker 3: on communist, but I want to listen. I want you
- 21:48Speaker 3: to listen to her on CNN explaining why she hates
- 21:52Speaker 3: Thanksgiving and wants to cancel Thanksgiving.
- 21:53Speaker 4: Here, give a listen.
- 21:55Speaker 8: One thing that they brought up as well was a
- 21:57Speaker 8: post from you in twenty twenty one where you said
- 22:01Speaker 8: Americans should cancel Thanksgiving, should have done this. In sixteen
- 22:04Speaker 8: twenty one, the post has been deleted. Republicans have been
- 22:08Speaker 8: highlighting it. Do you still believe that Thanksgiving should be canceled.
- 22:13Speaker 9: I'm a chef and one of the first meals that
- 22:16Speaker 9: I made that was for the community when I was sixteen,
- 22:21Speaker 9: was a Thanksgiving meal. I always think my hospitality background
- 22:26Speaker 9: in owning a restaurant for seven eight years, that bringing
- 22:29Speaker 9: folks around the table to share conversation and build community
- 22:33Speaker 9: is always a good thing. But Thanksgiving is also a
- 22:37Speaker 9: time that's incredibly painful for many people in our communities.
- 22:41Speaker 9: And so I think there I wanted to make sure
- 22:44Speaker 9: that people understood that there are multiple views, but views
- 22:47Speaker 9: can evolve and the position that I'm running for right now,
- 22:51Speaker 9: and I think my background as a chef will actually
- 22:54Speaker 9: help me become a better governor that's able to bring
- 22:57Speaker 9: more people to the table.
- 22:59Speaker 1: That is, there's one heck of a sales pitch right there, Senator.
- 23:03Speaker 3: So that was Caitlyn Collins on CNN. She asked the question,
- 23:07Speaker 3: and if you're not watching this on YouTube or on video,
- 23:10Speaker 3: you need to watch Caitlyn Collins eyes because she's listening
- 23:14Speaker 3: to her. She asked the question, Hey, you're running for
- 23:18Speaker 3: governor Wisconsin, do you still want to cancel Thanksgiving? And
- 23:23Speaker 3: it's clear Caitlyn Collins wants her to say, no, I
- 23:26Speaker 3: love Thanksgiving like America's great. No, we don't want to
- 23:29Speaker 3: cancel Thanksgiving. Yeah, and Francesca Hung is like no, no, no,
- 23:33Speaker 3: there's much many people who were horrified by Thanksgiving and
- 23:35Speaker 3: the hate America and those are my people.
- 23:37Speaker 4: So I'm not going to say that I'm a chef.
- 23:39Speaker 3: You know, I once made a Thanksgiving meal like like
- 23:43Speaker 3: like it's the most I got to say that clip
- 23:47Speaker 3: if Saturday Live was willing to make fun of leftists, Yeah,
- 23:52Speaker 3: that's perfectly scripted, it's perfectly cast.
- 23:57Speaker 4: Do you want to cancel? And understand?
- 24:00Speaker 3: So these communists they hate capitalism, they hate property rights,
- 24:05Speaker 3: they hate the Constitution, they hate free speech, they hate
- 24:09Speaker 3: religious liberty, they hate the Second Amendment, they hate America.
- 24:17Speaker 3: Gives me no joy to say that they think America
- 24:21Speaker 3: is an evil, repressive, racist, oppressive place and they.
- 24:25Speaker 4: Want to destroy it.
- 24:27Speaker 1: Yep.
- 24:28Speaker 3: And so look that communist hates Thanksgiving. You know what
- 24:33Speaker 3: she also hates and I don't even need to ask.
- 24:35Speaker 3: She hates the fourth of July. She hates Christmas.
- 24:40Speaker 4: She hates Easter.
- 24:42Speaker 3: Oh God knows, she hates Easter. I think there are
- 24:46Speaker 3: two holidays. She likes Juneteenth and Kwansa yeah and even no, no, no, okay,
- 24:52Speaker 3: hold on, I'm sorry. I made a major mistake.
- 24:54Speaker 4: May Day.
- 24:55Speaker 3: May Day the time to celebrate communists takeovers and oppression
- 25:01Speaker 3: that she supports. But everything about America. By the way,
- 25:05Speaker 3: if you are a Christian, she hates you. If you're
- 25:08Speaker 3: a Jew, she hates you. If you are in business,
- 25:11Speaker 3: she hates you. If you love America, she hates you.
- 25:16Speaker 3: And the same is true with Elsayed. The same is
- 25:18Speaker 3: true with Mondami, these communists. And this is something.
- 25:24Speaker 4: I've said in a number of TV interviews.
- 25:27Speaker 3: Look, there are Republicans who are right now beating their
- 25:31Speaker 3: chests and say this is great. The Democrat Party is
- 25:33Speaker 3: going Craig Kray, So we're going to win in November.
- 25:36Speaker 3: Because they're so extreme, we're going to win. I am
- 25:39Speaker 3: not celebrating this. Look, history shows there's a pendulum to politics. Yes, Unfortunately,
- 25:46Speaker 3: the Democrats will win again.
- 25:48Speaker 4: I wish they wouldn't. I don't want them to.
- 25:50Speaker 3: But there is going to be another Democrat president, and
- 25:55Speaker 3: I would like both national parties to be normal people
- 26:01Speaker 3: who are not frigging insane. Yes, like when there's the
- 26:04Speaker 3: next Democrat president, and I hope I would be thrilled
- 26:07Speaker 3: if that doesn't happen in our lifetime, but it will.
- 26:10Speaker 3: I would like the next Democrat president not to be
- 26:13Speaker 3: a communist who hates America. And what is happening to
- 26:18Speaker 3: the Democrat Party? Is there other than John Fetterman? Is
- 26:22Speaker 3: there one Democrat willing to say no, we will not
- 26:26Speaker 3: let our party be taken over. And by the way,
- 26:29Speaker 3: in the Republican Party, I'm standing up and saying to
- 26:31Speaker 3: the anti Semites that are trying to take over our party, no,
- 26:35Speaker 3: we will not be a Jew hating Israel hating, anti capitalist,
- 26:39Speaker 3: anti American party. Get the hell out of our party.
- 26:41Speaker 3: If that's who you are, you're not welcome. I'm doing
- 26:44Speaker 3: that in our party. Other than John Fetterman, is there
- 26:47Speaker 3: one Democrat doing it that?
- 26:49Speaker 1: In this part?
- 26:50Speaker 2: As before, If you want to hear the rest of
- 26:52Speaker 2: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and
- 26:55Speaker 2: dow the podcast from earlier this week to hear the
- 26:57Speaker 2: entire thing. To get back to the big story number
- 27:02Speaker 2: three of the week, you may have missed. All right, Senator,
- 27:04Speaker 2: I want to get into one of the weirdest moments
- 27:06Speaker 2: of the week. James tall Rico, guy that's running for
- 27:09Speaker 2: Senate in Texas as a Democrat, said that God's non binary,
- 27:13Speaker 2: that the Bible loves abortion, that there I think it
- 27:16Speaker 2: was six genders. And then he tried to act like
- 27:19Speaker 2: he was a little bit more moderate. Well not so
- 27:22Speaker 2: much anymore, because he went to a Pride event alongside
- 27:27Speaker 2: a eleven year old child drag queen and then gave
- 27:32Speaker 2: accolades to the drag queen that was eleven years old.
- 27:36Speaker 1: That is ridiculous.
- 27:38Speaker 3: Look, I gotta say, I wish what you were saying
- 27:40Speaker 3: was not accurate. James tall Rico is the Democrat nominee
- 27:43Speaker 3: for Senate in Texas. This is the most woke radical
- 27:48Speaker 3: nominee Texas has ever seen. Now the media wants you
- 27:51Speaker 3: to think he's this regular guy, this moderate pastor kind
- 27:55Speaker 3: of guy.
- 27:56Speaker 7: He is.
- 27:57Speaker 3: If a woke soy Latte came to life, that would
- 28:02Speaker 3: be James Tolrico.
- 28:03Speaker 1: You got a vegan, don't forget because he only gets
- 28:06Speaker 1: vegan food.
- 28:08Speaker 4: You know me.
- 28:08Speaker 3: Meat scares him. He thinks meat is going to destroy
- 28:11Speaker 3: the world. So so he actually ran a meat free campaign.
- 28:14Speaker 3: He said, no one in the campaign can have meat
- 28:17Speaker 3: because meat is scary. Mind you, this guy is not
- 28:20Speaker 3: running in in Rhode Island, He's not running in Berkeley.
- 28:24Speaker 3: He's running in the great state of Texas. But but
- 28:26Speaker 3: even so, this particular story that broke his stunning I'm
- 28:29Speaker 3: going to read you the headline in the beginning of
- 28:32Speaker 3: the story from the Washington Free Beacon headline. James tol
- 28:35Speaker 3: Rico headlined Pride event alongside eleven year old child drag queen, Yeah,
- 28:45Speaker 3: Queen Keiki, who he said, quote absolute cutest and youngest
- 28:51Speaker 3: of our drag performers. James Taalrico, a Presbyterian seminary and
- 28:56Speaker 3: running for US Senate from Texas, headlined in LGBTQ festival
- 29:00Speaker 3: that featured quote the absolute cutest and youngest of our
- 29:04Speaker 3: drag performers, an eleven year old boy drag queen who
- 29:09Speaker 3: goes by the stage name Queen Kiki. Taylor Pride, a
- 29:14Speaker 3: group in the town of Taylor, Texas, held the June
- 29:16Speaker 3: twenty six, twenty twenty one event to raise money to
- 29:18Speaker 3: help rural LGBTQ communities. The Pride month festivities included a
- 29:23Speaker 3: series of pro LGBTQ speakers, live music, a drag story Hour,
- 29:29Speaker 3: an adult drag performers such as Brianna Brinks and the
- 29:33Speaker 3: provocatively named Sedanya Face Tall Rico and Queen Kik, a
- 29:39Speaker 3: local preteen named Kegan, were the biggest attractions for the
- 29:43Speaker 3: Taylor Pride organizers Quote Taylor Pride will be hosting numerous
- 29:48Speaker 3: speakers such as state representatives James Tallerco, talented musical guests
- 29:52Speaker 3: such as Venus loves Mars, and the absolute cutest and
- 29:56Speaker 3: youngest of our drag performers, Queen Kik. The group and
- 30:00Speaker 3: promotional materials unquievable. Not only will this amazing preteen but
- 30:05Speaker 3: performing a number at Texas Beer Company, but they will
- 30:09Speaker 3: also host key Key story Time where children will find
- 30:14Speaker 3: lots of Pride inspired craft activities. Taylor Pride wrote of
- 30:19Speaker 3: Queen Keiki in a post publicizing the event, what the
- 30:23Speaker 3: hell like who says you know what eleven year old
- 30:26Speaker 3: boys need? Eleven year old boys need to see eleven
- 30:30Speaker 3: year old boy drag queens. They need to be invited
- 30:33Speaker 3: to explore their sexuality because that's you know, Lord knows,
- 30:37Speaker 3: that's what children need. Is more sexuality and these eleven
- 30:40Speaker 3: year old we're going to convince little boys you're actually
- 30:43Speaker 3: a girl. And by the way, little girls, you're actually
- 30:46Speaker 3: a boy. This is sick, this is twisted, and this
- 30:49Speaker 3: is who James Tallerrico is. That's what he believes.
- 30:53Speaker 2: He's celebrating it, advocating it, supporting it, and hoping that
- 30:58Speaker 2: more parents will us their kids in drag to come
- 31:01Speaker 2: perform in front of him in the future.
- 31:03Speaker 1: That's what his statement. It says like.
- 31:06Speaker 4: And by the way, this is the parents. This is
- 31:09Speaker 4: the parents.
- 31:10Speaker 1: Look.
- 31:11Speaker 3: Look, there was a quote from Cynthia Nixon, you know,
- 31:13Speaker 3: the left wing actress on Sex and the City, where
- 31:17Speaker 3: she was quoted saying, my child's transgender, my sister's child
- 31:21Speaker 3: is transgender, all my friend's children are transgender. You know what,
- 31:25Speaker 3: that's not about the kids. That is about the parents
- 31:28Speaker 3: who have left wing political ideologies and are dressing their
- 31:32Speaker 3: kids up like puppets to play out their politics. There
- 31:36Speaker 3: virtue signaling this is cruel and is wrong. And you
- 31:41Speaker 3: want to know who James tall Rico is. That's who
- 31:43Speaker 3: he is.
- 31:44Speaker 1: That's who he is.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Finally, I want to get to this other story, and
- 31:47Speaker 2: it deals with ages. Conspiring to go after Donald Trump's
- 31:51Speaker 2: month ahead of his reelect. Let's tell people what we
- 31:55Speaker 2: found out.
- 31:56Speaker 3: Well, another story that broke its headlined. Democratic planned to
- 32:01Speaker 3: sue Trump nearly seven.
- 32:03Speaker 4: Months before he was re elected.
- 32:06Speaker 3: There it is nearly two dozen state attorneys general banded
- 32:09Speaker 3: together as early as April twenty twenty four to plot
- 32:13Speaker 3: litigation against President Donald Trump, long before he was re elected.
- 32:16Speaker 3: According to a confidential document attained by The Center Square,
- 32:20Speaker 3: the document was signed approximately three months before President Joe
- 32:24Speaker 3: Biden exited from the race and Vice President Kamala Harris
- 32:27Speaker 3: became the Democratic nominee for president. It was signed nearly
- 32:31Speaker 3: seven months before Trump was re elected by two point
- 32:34Speaker 3: three million more votes than Harris, almost nine months before
- 32:38Speaker 3: he was inaugurated. State attorneys general has sued the Trump
- 32:41Speaker 3: administration nearly one hundred times since January twenty twenty five.
- 32:47Speaker 3: The coordinated effort appears to have a nickname quote the
- 32:50Speaker 3: Project for Federal Accountability. Not all of the lawsuits have
- 32:54Speaker 3: been joined by each attorney general, and some offices take
- 32:56Speaker 3: a lead on different cases. At the last count. Californiattorney
- 33:00Speaker 3: General Rob Bonta has participated in eighty two lawsuits. Colorado
- 33:05Speaker 3: Attorney General Phil Wiser has joined at least seventy five lawsuits.
- 33:10Speaker 3: Washington State Attorney General Brown has joined seventy lawsuits. Arizona
- 33:15Speaker 3: Attorney General Chris Mays has joined forty six lawsuits. At
- 33:20Speaker 3: a news conference on Tuesday, Montes stated the lawsuits are
- 33:23Speaker 3: a political yeah right. He announced the lawsuits have cost
- 33:27Speaker 3: California taxpayers nineteen million dollars and he will continue to
- 33:32Speaker 3: file them as needed. If Trump doesn't want to get sued,
- 33:35Speaker 3: all he has to do is follow the law. Bonta said,
- 33:38Speaker 3: I don't think our cases are likely to be dismissed.
- 33:40Speaker 3: Trump shows no sign of slowing down, so we will
- 33:43Speaker 3: continue to sue him. This is an example where the
- 33:47Speaker 3: deep state, in the Democrat machine that they like to
- 33:50Speaker 3: talk about.
- 33:51Speaker 4: We support democracy. They beat their chest.
- 33:53Speaker 3: We're four democracy. Yeah, Today's Democrats hate democracy. And I
- 33:58Speaker 3: don't mean to be provocative in that statement, but if
- 34:01Speaker 3: they actually respected democracy, they would say, you know what,
- 34:05Speaker 3: the voters get to choose who the president's gonna be.
- 34:08Speaker 3: We're gonna have an election November twenty twenty four, and
- 34:11Speaker 3: they're gonna choose either Donald Trump or Initially it was
- 34:14Speaker 3: Joe Biden. But then when they realized Joe Biden was
- 34:17Speaker 3: deep into dimension was no longer capable of winning, they
- 34:20Speaker 3: threw Joe Biden overboard. They tossed him into a shark
- 34:24Speaker 3: pit and immediately inserted Kamala Harris, who nobody had voted for. Yep,
- 34:28Speaker 3: and when Trump won, they do not care. They're using
- 34:32Speaker 3: law fair to destroy him. And understand, these Democrat ags
- 34:37Speaker 3: joined together to do so seven months before he was
- 34:41Speaker 3: elected president because they don't care what the voters say.
- 34:44Speaker 3: They want power and they're willing to abuse the system
- 34:48Speaker 3: to get it.
