Dems Embrace Socialism & Open Borders plus UK Terror Plot Foiled · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:00
  Speaker 2: It is Vertical Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you. Senator,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: I can't believe it. We are not that far away
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: from the midterm elections. We're basically five weeks out from
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Election Day. And if you look at the races right now,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: there's a big question. What happens if Democrats win? One
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: of the big things they're talking about, and they clearly
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: think it's going to get people excited about them, is
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: impeaching Trump and not just Trump, but many others. And
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: this is also happening while Americans are embracing socialism at
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: record levels.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I know that concerns you as well.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Well, socialism is on the ballot. We're five weeks away
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: from Election Day. The numbers nationwide of Americans supporting socialism
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: are skyrocketing. They're skyrocketing among Democrats. That's becoming the orthodoxy
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: in the Democrat Party. But they're even rising distressingly among independents.
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: We're going to break that down. We're also going to
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: break down just how open the Democrats are that if
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: they seize control, they intend to engage in full obstruction,
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: full impeachment. do everything they can to effectively shut the
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: federal government down. We're going to give you the details
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: there as well. We're also going to talk about the
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: major terror attack that was just averted the United Kingdom,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: an impressive work of police and law enforcement and intelligence
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: averting a serious terror attack. It's amazing what happens when
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: you open up your country and allow millions of illegal
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: immigrants to come into your country, including radical Islamic terrorism. Sadly,
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: it leads predictably to terrorism. All of that's on today's pod.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we've got a lot to talk about, obviously.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Also want to talk to you about a special opportunity
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: coming up for you to get involved and to stand
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: with Israel. On October the 7th, 2023, Israeli firefighter Danny
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: faced a nightmare that no parent should ever endure. A
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: terrorist attacked his community. He and his wife sheltered in
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: their safe room. Just yards away, his daughter and son-in-law
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: were trapped inside their home. as it burned during the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: horrific attacks on that day. Now, there was nothing he
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: could do to save them. Danny has dedicated his life
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to rescuing others, yet in the midst of unimaginable grief,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: he stepped forward to help evacuate survivors and care for
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: his shattered community. Today, he continues helping rebuild. His story
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: reminds us that behind every headline is a real family,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a real mother, a father, a son, or a daughter
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: whose life mattered. That is why thousands of churches across
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: America are joining the Flags of Fellowship movement, started by
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Each flag planted
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: as part of this powerful movement honors a life lost.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Each flag stands against hatred, Each flag declares to the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: world that Israel is not alone. Join believers across America
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: in this powerful act of remembrance and solidarity with Israel.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Learn how you and your church can make a difference
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: at joinfof.org. That's joinfof.org. All right, Senator, so let's get
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: into this. Five weeks out, I look at these poll numbers,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and it's tight. I think you and I have both
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: looked at them, and it's not exactly where anyone was
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: hoping on the conservative side of things we would be
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: at this moment in time going into the midterms. But
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: there's also this new kind of mantra coming from the left,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: which is, hey, if we get power, we will go
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: after Donald Trump and impeach him.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Also, cabinet members. Also, we'll go after family.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: We'll go after other conservatives like it is pure warfare, lawfare,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, congressional lawfare yet again.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And that's what now the Democrats are closing argument. The
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: American people has vote for us because we'll go lock
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: people up.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right, because that's what animates and unifies
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: their party, is hatred for Donald Trump. Here, I want
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: you to listen to Representative Ro Khanna, a Democrat, very,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: very wealthy tech Democrat, used to portray himself as moderate,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: but now is running hard, hard left because he's got
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: presidential ambitions. I want to listen to him being asked
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: if it's true that their objective is just to impeach Trump.
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: Listen.
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: Is impeaching President Trump a third time a mistake for Democrats? No,
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: it's not, because it's not about Donald Trump. He's going
• 4:14
  Speaker 6: to be a lame duck and, in my view, largely
• 4:18
  Speaker 6: increasingly irrelevant. The point is to stand up for the Constitution.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Impeachment says that you can't get into an illegal war
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: in Iran without constitutional approval. Impeachment says that you can't
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: just start firing federal employees when in defiance of what
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: Congress says. Impeachment says you can't do deals with foreign
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: governments to allegedly enrich your own family. It's about setting
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: a standard and the Democrats can impeach to uphold constitutional
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: values and at the same time have a first hundred
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: day agenda that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Deals with the cost of living.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Notice it's not really about you. It's about warfare and
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: political warfare. And oh, absolutely, we're going to go down
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: this road. Yeah, then we'll get to the economy and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: other things later. But really, this is about attacking anyone
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: that helped Trump and Trump and his cabinet so no
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: one will want to serve their country.
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: Look, Trump derangement syndrome is alive and well. They are animated.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Their sole goal in life, it seems, is hatred of Trump.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: But actually, that's not true. They also want radical policies
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: that would destroy America. Here, I want you to listen
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: to Democrat Tom Swoozie, who is another one who pretends
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: he's a moderate, but listen to what he says his
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: number one objective is if Democrats take power.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: My number one issue is to try and get a
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: resolution on immigration. My biggest desire, my biggest goal of
• 5:44
  Speaker 7: what I want to accomplish in politics right now is
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: I want to legalize 7 or 8 or 9 or
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: 10 million people in our country so they will not
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: be subject to deportation.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Well, at least they're being honest about it. Hey, Americans,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you're not our priority. Illegal immigrants, you are our priority.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: And just understand, if you're an American suffering right now,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: we don't really care. If you're someone that has issues
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: and you have a U.S. passport, we don't really care.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It's the illegals that we're here to protect and defend
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: and to honor first and foremost.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: Now, look, this is striking because Tom Swoozie is in
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: a potential swing district in New York, and he's echoing
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: the very same message that you remember Chris Murphy a
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: year or two said on TV, and it was widely
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: perceived as a gaffe. But listen to Chris Murphy on
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: MSNBC explaining what his number one priority is.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: The negotiation didn't have a path to citizenship. It was
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: entirely on their terms in order to get Ukraine funded, right? Well,
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: I mean, Chris, that's been a failed play for 20 years.
• 6:48
  Speaker 8: So you are right that that has been the Democratic
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: strategy for 30 years, maybe. And it has failed to
• 6:56
  Speaker 8: deliver for the people we care about most, the undocumented
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: Americans that are in this country.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Well, there you heard it. Chris Murphy, in his own words,
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: he describes he's speaking about Democrats as a party. He describes, quote,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: the people we care about most. And then he calls
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: them the undocumented Americans, by which he means illegal immigrants.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: And he's not saying they care about him. He said
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: they are the people they care about most, illegal immigrants.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: They care about it more than you, more than U.S. citizens,
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: more than your kids. That's why Democrat Tom Swoozie is
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: saying his biggest goal, his number one goal, is to
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: grant amnesty to 7 or 8 or 9 or 10
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: million people in our country. That's their number one goal.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: It is to attack President Trump, and it is to
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: fight for illegal immigrants. That's their priority. And it's one
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: of the reasons why, as lousy as the poll numbers
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: are looking for Republicans right now, Democrats have a problem, too.
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: Listen to Mark Kelly getting confronted with this on ABC.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: That is that only 34% of people think the Democratic
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Party cares about people like them.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: What does that tell you?
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: What do you do about it if people just aren't
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: feeling it from the Democrats, if you're sort of a
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: default or people stay away from the race?
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: Well, I'll tell you what I'm doing about it. I've
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: been traveling across the country basically nonstop for the last
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: six months. I've been in New Hampshire, in Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Georgia,
• 8:30
  Speaker 9: South Carolina, meeting with people. I've also been all over Arizona.
• 8:34
  Speaker 9: I was just up on the Navajo Nation. a couple
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: weeks ago for the Navajo parade, and just talking to
• 8:40
  Speaker 9: people and trying to understand their challenges in their homes,
• 8:45
  Speaker 9: in their schools, in their communities.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: You listen to that, and it's just truly not about
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Americans first at all.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: Well, and when even ABC is going at it and
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: pointing out that the poll numbers show that only 34%
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: of Americans think Democrats care about, quote, people like them.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: And there's a reason for that. The Democrats are telling
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: you who they care about. The people they care about
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: most are illegal immigrants. Look, if you're an illegal immigrant,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: I guess that should make you really happy. That's your party.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: That's who they're fighting for. He also left out gangbangers
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: and criminals and murderers and child molesters and rapists. And
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: that clearly is who they care about most as well,
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: because when they get in power, that's who they let go.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: That's who they refuse to arrest. That's who they empty
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: the jails from. That's who they release into the communities.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: So they care about attacking Trump. They care about illegal immigrants.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: They care about criminals. But they also fundamentally care about
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: this is the green-red alliance. This is communism and Islamism
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: coming together. And to be clear, that is not limited
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: to Manhattan. It is not just Comrade Mondami in New York.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: They plan to bring this to your... neighborhood, to your town,
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: to your state. They plan to bring it to the
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: whole country. Listen to Comrade Mondami talking about socialism for
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: all of America.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: The thing is, other Democrats are concerned. Not everybody believes
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: that America is ready on a national level to necessarily
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: elect people who are on the left. And will it
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: translate on a national level? And will the midterms not
• 10:25
  Speaker 5: just be a referendum on Trump, but a referendum on
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: the democratic socialists of America?
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: I think this will absolutely translate on a national level.
• 10:33
  Speaker 10: And the reason that I believe that is while we
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: are an exceptional city as the greatest city in the world,
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: we also know that the struggles that New Yorkers are
• 10:40
  Speaker 10: facing are the struggles that working class Americans are facing
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: across the country. I often say that there's only one
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: majority in this country. It's the working class and their
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: inability to afford housing, child care, even public transit. That
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: is something that goes beyond any one city.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Senator, beyond any one city, that's his message.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Look, this is their nationwide agenda. They want to bring
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: socialism to you. And by the way, What Comrade Mondami
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: did there is what communists and socialists always do, which
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: is they say they're fighting for the working man, which
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: is what he said, but then you look at their policies,
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: and their policies always, always, always hurt the working men.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: And if you look at it, this is true in
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: communist countries across the world, whether the Soviet Union or
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: China or Cuba or Venezuela or Nicaragua or North Korea
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: or Whenever you have socialism implemented, and socialism is the
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: economic system of communism, whenever they implement their policies, working
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: men and women pay the price. They have poverty. They
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: have shortages. Their standard of living goes down. Understand, the Democrats,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: it's ironic he used the phrase working men, Because he
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: doesn't actually want people to work. He wants to pay
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: people not to work. If you're working, he wants to
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: tax the hell out of you. If you own a
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: small business, he wants to destroy your small business. And yet,
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: this message is getting real traction. Brand new polling that
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: came from Gallup. I'm going to read from New York Post.
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Americans are embracing socialism at record levels as popularity tops 40%
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: for the first time since 2010. A record number of
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Americans now have a positive view of socialism, with almost
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: half admitting they embrace the far-left ideology, according to an
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: eye-opening survey. 43% of Americans said they feel optimistic about socialism,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: the new Gallup poll released Wednesday revealed. It marks the
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: first time this figure has topped 40% in Gallup's trend
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: since 2010. At the same time, economic concepts like free enterprise,
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: big business, and capitalism have slipped in public favorability. The
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: surge in popularity was driven, surprisingly, by independents, with 45%
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: of this group reporting a positive view of socialism, up
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: from 37% last year. Now, that's highly troubling, that independents
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: went from 37% thinking socialism was a good idea to 45%.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: That is a very disturbing movement. Independents view of big business, meanwhile,
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: dipped to a new low of 32%, meaning independents now
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: prefer socialism to big business. However, small businesses, capitalism, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: free enterprise are still viewed more positively. The increase in
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: optimism for the far-left philosophy is also driven in large
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: part by a sharp uptick among Democrats who say they
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: have a positive view of socialism. The result in the
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: Gallup poll showed two-thirds of progressives were in favor, 66%,
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: up from 50% in 2010. Democrats have been rating socialism
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: more positively than capitalism since 2016, and it's now tied
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: with free enterprise at 65%. Democrats' favorable rating of capitalism
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: slid seven points in just the past year. from 42%
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: in 2025 to just 35% today, according to the survey. Now,
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: the one group that's remained consistent, Republicans, meanwhile, have stayed
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: comparatively consistent with large majorities favoring small business, free enterprise,
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: and capitalism positively, but just 14% expressing a positive view
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: of socialism. This is the message that the far left
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: is pushing, but understand this is their agenda, If they
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: win in November, if they take power, they want to
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: bring socialism to you. They want to bring amnesty for
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: illegals to you. They want to bring violent criminals that
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: they're letting out of jail to you. That's what the
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: stakes are in this election.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: All right.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: I want to take a moment and I just want
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to talk to you about education for a second.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: We've seen just how radical.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Universities have become in this country how they're indoctrinating people
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: to not only turn against this country but also against
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: their faith well somewhere along the way we got this
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: idea that a serious education and a strong christian faith
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: have to live in two separate worlds they don't at
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: regents university faith isn't an afterthought in fact it's at
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the heart of the education Students are challenged to think deeply,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: pursue excellence, and see their education through an actual Christian worldview.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Make no mistake, Region is serious about academics as well.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: With more than 150 areas of study, Region has earned
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: national recognition for academic excellence. Because a great education shouldn't
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: just prepare you to make a living, it should prepare
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: you to make a difference in the world. Now, to
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: lead with integrity and use your God-given talents with purpose,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and here's the best part about Regent. You can get
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: the same Regent education online now as well. You can
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: learn from wherever you are on a schedule that works
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: around your career and family without compromising your education or
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: your faith. Exceptional academics, flexible online learning, unapologetically Christian.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: You can learn more at regent.edu.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: That's regent, R-E-G-E-N-T dot edu, Regent University, Christian leadership to
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: change the world. You know, socialists, by the way, Senator,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I think have been playing this game, the long game, really,
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: really well, to be honest with you. You can see
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: that over time, they are able to, in essence, mainstream.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: in a pretty significant way, socialism, where it seems like
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a normal word, not a radical idea. I think that's
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: part of the reason why you're seeing these poll numbers
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: the way that they are now. How concerned are you,
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: by the way, that this could continue to gain momentum
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: moving forward?
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a real problem. It is a marketing ploy.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: It begins with education, where the left seized K-12 education,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: seized colleges and universities, seized much of entertainment. And they've
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: been using their control over cultural organs to propagandize. And
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: young people in particular are far more likely to say
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: they have a positive view of socialism. Now, I will
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: say that positive view, I believe, is not deep. It's
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: not thick because most of them have no idea what
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: socialism is. Most of them think socialism is should people
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: give me free stuff. And not surprisingly, a lot of people,
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: if you say, hey, you want free stuff, will say, sure,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I'll take some free stuff. But this is where elected
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: officials need to do a better job. This is where
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: conservatives need to do a better job. This is where
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: podcasters need to do a better job. Explaining the facts.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: What is socialism? Socialism is the government ownership or control
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: of the means of production or distribution in an economy.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: It is the government being in charge of producing and
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: distributing goods and services. When the government is in charge,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: it just doesn't work. The socialists, and by the way,
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: when you ask young people what they think socialism means,
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: they don't know. Socialism also inevitably means, there's a phrase
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: that Karl Marx and others used, which is from each
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: according to his abilities to each according to his needs.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: It's part of the very essence of socialism and communism,
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: which is if you're producing, we're going to take from you.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: And if you're not producing, if you're sitting on your
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: rear end, we're going to give to you. Now what
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: you end up happening, and this is where socialists and
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: communists don't understand, people respond to incentives. If you work
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: hard and the government takes the reward of your work,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: you know what you do? You stop working hard. And
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: that ends up happening. And so then they rely on
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: government power to try to force you to work hard.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: They know you can work hard. They know you can
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: produce at a certain level. And so they threaten you. Look,
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: in the Soviet Union and Russia and China, they threaten you.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: They put you in jail if you don't work as
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: hard as they want you to work. But it is
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: all at the end of a gun. It is all
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: by force. And if you look at, let's take Cuba.
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: You know, why is it that all of these socialists
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: don't seem to notice that that down in Cuba, the
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: rafts are all going one direction. They are fleeing Cuba.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: There's nobody. Mondami never once has gone down to Key West,
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: jumped on a raft, and said, hey, I've got a
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: communist socialist paradise just 90 miles south. Well, the reason
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: he doesn't is the people in Cuba are miserable.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: They're starving.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: They have nothing. They wait in bread lines. The entire
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: economy is frozen in time from the 1950s when the
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: communists took over. And by the way, in 1959 when
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: the communists took over, Cuba had enormous prosperity. It was
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: a dominant sugar producer. There was inequality and there was oppression. Batista,
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: the dictator, was cruel. But the material well-being of the
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Cuban people today is much, much, much worse than it
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: was before. And the answer was to overthrow the dictator,
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: but put in place free enterprise and let small businesses
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: grow instead of putting communism and socialism in place.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. It's going to be, as
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: we mentioned, we're five weeks away. And this is what
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: this election is going to be about. I want to
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: move over to also the shocking news coming out of
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Britain today. With this terror attack that was stopped, thank goodness,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: it was targeting a base that also hosts Americans.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Let's fill our audience in on this.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: Well, it's a very disturbing terror plot that thankfully was stopped.
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: Five men were taken into custody in the United Kingdom
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: on suspicion of explosion offenses and preparing a terrorist act.
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: And here I'm reading from the Daily Wire. British authorities
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: arrested five men near a military base hosting U.S. forces
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: early Sunday. on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack. RAF
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: Fairford in Southwestern England serves as a forward operating location
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: for the US Air Force Global Strike Command and has
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: recently been used to launch B-52 and B-1 bombers targeting Iran.
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: President Donald Trump praised the arrest while speaking to reporters
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: Sunday and said the United States had worked with British
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: authorities on the case. Quote, the arrests in the UK
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: were fantastic, he said. Working with Britain, it was an
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: amazing job. We had them under investigation. Trump said the suspects, quote,
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: were looking to do big damage and that the group
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: had been under watch, quote, for a long time. Police
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: were alerted around 12.45 a.m. to three suspicious vehicles apparently
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: bound for the base, according to a Metropolitan Police statement.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: Armed officers responded and detained five men in a nearby
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: village on suspicion of explosive offensives, then rearrested them on
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: suspicion of preparing an act of terrorism. Authorities evacuated about
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: 85 households as a precaution and established a 400-meter cordon
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: around the vehicles while Army bomb disposal specialists were examining them.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: A nearby recreation center opened to accommodate displaced residents. Quote,
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: We are in the early stages of an investigation and
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: five men remain in custody, said Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: We continue to work with police to keep the community
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: safe as we work to gather evidence from the scene.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: This is highly, highly disturbing. Now, they went on to say,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: for operational security reasons, we will not discuss specific force
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: protection measures.
• 22:54
  Speaker 9: U.S.
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: European Command remains vigilant. and will take appropriate actions to
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: ensure the safety and security of our U.S. service members, civilians, contractors,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: and their families across the European theater. We constantly assess
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: a variety of factors that determine what measures we institute
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: or modify to protect our installations, our people, and their families.
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: The New York Post reported that the five suspects were
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: stripped down after the officers suspected they might be wearing
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: suicide vests. The Telegraph reported that authorities are investigating whether
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: there is a link to the Iranian regime. In August,
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Iran threatened to attack U.S. air bases in Europe if
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: President Trump escalated the war. Quote, should the U.S. go
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: too far, Iran will defend itself at any price, go
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: beyond the region and hit Europe too, said a source
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: close to the Iranian regime. So you've got five what
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: appear to be terrorists arrested in a terror attack preparing
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: to bomb, or they're preparing to bomb U.S. servicemen and women,
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: and in particular the servicemen and women who were involved
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: in carrying out the military strikes in Iran. Thankfully, we
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: prevented that from happening. We have them in custody, and
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: further investigation will show just how far this plot goes
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: and whether it was directed by Iran or others.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: All right, I want to take a moment here and
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I just want to talk to you about an organization
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: that not only do I want you to know about it,
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: I would love for you to be able to get
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: involved because it is amazing the work that they're doing.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: And if you're going to change someone's life, you want
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: to know what actually lasts. That's one reason why Compassion
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: International has become one of the most trusted child development
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: ministries in the world. Now, independent research shows that children
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: that are sponsored through Compassion actually stay in school longer.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: They are 40% more likely to graduate high school.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: That number is incredible, especially when you're talking about kids
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: all over the world, many of them in third world countries.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: And here's a stat that's even more amazing than that.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: They're more than.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: 80% more likely to finish college.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: Now, how is this possible?
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: Well, it's because sponsorship isn't just temporary relief. It's long-term
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: investment through the local church. I want to say that again.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: It is long-term investment through the local church. And that
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: church is meeting the physical needs while also sharing the
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: hope of Jesus. Now, you can do what I do
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: and just spend for only $ 43 a month. You can
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: help shape a child's future. Sponsor a child today. At Compassion.com.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: That's Compassion.com. Yeah, and you look at this, and it
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: comes back to me, back to the U.S., and this is, again,
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I go back to the midterms. You look at what
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump did so quickly. I wish it was more
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: of a midterm issue, Senator. I really do, because I
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: think it's.
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: An important one.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: It's a national security one. And that is the issue
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: of securing our border. And we know how many people
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: got into this country when Joe Biden was in office.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: We know how many gotaways there are. We know how
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: many were on.
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: The terrorist watch list.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: We hit unbelievable numbers of people on the terrorist watch
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: list that we did catch. We don't know how many
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: got through that we don't know about that are on
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: the terrorist watch list. But when you look at this
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: issue in the UK and then you look at this,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: what we had. before Trump came in and now that
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: we have a secure border, it is night and day difference.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: And I wish this was more of a midterm issue
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: because it's almost like it happened so quickly, him shutting
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: down our southern border, that people forgot like how bad
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: it used to be.
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: Well, and it's our responsibility to remind them, to remind
• 26:26
  Speaker 4: them what it looked like when 12 million illegals were
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: flooding into this country, when we were facing an invasion,
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: when we were seeing every single day another American murdered,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: another woman raped, another child sexually assaulted by illegal immigrants.
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: released into this country by Joe Biden and the Democrats.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: And by the way, these two stories are directly connected.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: You look at the immigration policies the United Kingdom has followed,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: and they're exactly the same open border amnesty policies that
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: turn a blind eye to terrorists who want to kill us.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: And tragically, the UK has faced real consequences. Here's a
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: story that published also this weekend in The Telegraph. Britain
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: granted asylum and citizenship status to a former bodyguard to
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: the leader of Hamas, it has been reported. Named only
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: as Mr. X for legal reasons, he then allegedly plotted
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: an anti-Semitic terrorist attack before the second anniversary of the
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: October 7 massacre, according to the Sunday Times. The suspect
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: served in the personal security detail for Ismail Hanaye, Hamas's
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: leader in Gaza between 2007 and 2017, before moving to
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: Britain more than 10 years ago. It poses difficult questions
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: for the Home Office, MI5 and MI6, because Mr. X
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: was able to build a life in the country despite
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: knowledge of his background. Before his arrest last year, the
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: married father in his 40s was reported to have changed
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: his legal name numerous times.
• 28:04
  Speaker 10: Mr.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: X was able to settle in Britain under deep cover
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: as an IT consultant in the suburbs of a large
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: English city, despite reports that suggested his work for Haniyeh
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: was public knowledge. It has been reported that he was
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: known to be the son of another senior Hamas official
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: and that he'd been arrested in Egypt for operating a
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: tunnel allegedly used to smuggle gun and gold into Gaza. Nonetheless,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: he claimed asylum in 2015 and was granted indefinite leave
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: to remain by the Home Office. It was also reported
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: that he attained citizenship and attended demonstrations outside the Israeli embassy.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: He was arrested by National Crime Agency officers in central
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: London last November after Israel's National Intelligence Agency, the Mossad,
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: and German security and intelligence services learned of the attack.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: Mr.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: X faces extradition to Germany where he has been accused
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: of being a leading figure in planning what is considered
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: one of the worst terror plots in post-war Germany on
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: Jewish community centers, Israeli diplomats, and pro-Israel demonstrations. According to
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: a German indictment obtained by Bild, Mr. X has been
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: accused of transporting guns, including handguns, live ammunition, and items
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: that could be used as a disguise to a storage
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: facility in Vienna from Berlin. His arrest was part of
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: an effort by Berlin, which partners in Austria, Denmark, and
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: the UK, to detain seven suspects. and gather guns that
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: included an AK-47. The indictment also said that Mr. X
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: had pre-recorded a video in which he had appeared masked
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: and armed in front of a Hamas flag. In it,
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: he described the plot as an act of retribution for
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Hamas's military wing the Ezzeddine al-Qassam brigades.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: It is striking.
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: What the hell is any rational person thinking when you
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: take someone who was a Hamas terrorist, who was the
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: bodyguard for the head of Hamas, and you say, you
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: know what? We want this person in our country. We're
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: going to grant him asylum. We know he's a Hamas terrorist,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: but we want him here. And not only are we
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: going to grant him asylum, we're going to make him
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: a British citizen. Well, I guess in the least surprising
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: thing since the sun rose in the east this morning,
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: the Hamas terrorists that they let in and embraced turned
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: around and continued planning and executing terror attacks. This is
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: a pattern we see, and it goes right back to
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: what did the Democrats say their number one priority in
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: America is? It is illegal immigrants. It is amnesty for
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: illegal immigrants. It is letting in criminals, and then criminals
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: includes terrorists. And if and when they do that, you
• 31:00
  Speaker 4: and me and all of us and our families are
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: all a lot less safe.
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're absolutely right.
• 31:06
