• 0:00
  Speaker 1: To the United States never settles for second, and we
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: don't under this administration. I can tell you that. You
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: see that because we have the hottest country right now
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: anywhere in the world. We live by the motto America First.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: That's what's made us very strong, and we're leading China
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and all other countries by a lot and AI and
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: just about every other category. Do I get credit for it?
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. It is so nice to have you
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: with us on the forty seven Morning Update, and we've
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: got a very big story for you. The Democratic Socialists
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: of America. Well they've gotten even more radical, and Senator
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Ted Cruz joins me to talk about just how radical
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: they have become and what you can expect moving forward.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: It's a forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: All right, So let's start out, Senator talking about the
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Democratic Socialists of America. I wanted to clear it now
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: very clearly for people listening other radio. This is a
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: real organization. They have real power in the Democratic Party
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and many believe this is actually the future of the
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party, including who they decide to enduse to run
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: on the Democratic side for the presidency.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Well, let me be clear. The DSA is not simply socialist.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: They're communists. They are outright Marxists, They're radicals. And we're
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: witnessing a hostile taker takeover of the Democrat Party. And look,
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: there are some Republicans that are celebrating, say hey, this
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: is great, the other side has gone crazy, that we
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: should be really happy. That's going to be easy to
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: beat them in November. Let me be clear, I'm not celebrating.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: I think it is dangerous as all get out. Listen,
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: I want a country with two major political parties that
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: actually have normal people that are not nuts. I'd like, Okay,
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: look if Democrats are fans of a little bit higher taxes,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: a little bit more regulations, okay, Like I don't agree
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: with that, but we can have a reasonable conversation between
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: how high taxes should be. The Marxists who are taking
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: over the Democrat Party are absolute zealots that I got
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: to say. There was some very interesting polling that came
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: out this week, and it looked at voting patterns from
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: twenty sixteen to twenty twenty four and who voted for
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the Democrat running for president, who voted for the Republican
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: running for president, and it broke the voters down into
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: twenty quadrants. So it had in terms of education, it
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: had high school or less. It had some college, four
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: year college degree or postgraduate degree. So those are the
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: four four educational levels. And then on income, it had
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: less than thirty thousand a year, it had thirty to
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: sixty thousand a year, and had sixty to one hundred
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: thousand a year, It had one hundred to two hundred
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: thousand a year, and then finally it had two hundred
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: thousand plus a year. So that's twenty quadrants. Now, of
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: those twenty, what do you think was the single highest
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: percentage voting for the Democrat presidential nominee.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna guess younger, just because I
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: think that's where they get a lot of their support.
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Right now, Well, it is true, this was not age base, though,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: this was education based.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: So young, So I'm gonna say less than college degree
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: or or high school diploma. And I may be wrong.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: You are totally and completely wrong. I love you.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So it's a Harvard Yell and Princeton crazies. That's what
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: we're getting at.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: It is so the old traditional stereotype was Republicans of
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the party of the rich and Democrats of the party
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: of the poor and working class. That I don't know
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: that that was ever the case, but it is not
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: the case today. Democrats are the parties of the party
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: of rich coastal elites, and Republicans are a blue collar party.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: And listen, that has been my base from the day
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: I got elected to the Senate. My base has been
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: truck drivers and deal workers and cops and firefighters and
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: waiters and waitresses. That's who my base has been. But
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I want you to look.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: At these work in the Permian is your voter.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Look you got a South Texas oil and gas guy,
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Hispanic guy driving a pickup truck. You go bird hunting
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: on the weekend. Those are my peeps, all right. So
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: the single most Democrat of the twenty quadrants is postgraduate degree,
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: So not just college. They got a postgraduate.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Degree, masters are above and.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Making thirty thousand to sixty thousand a year, and seventy
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: percent of those folks voted Democrat for president. Now, who
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: are we talking about. We're talking about a bunch of
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: entitled kids, many of whom came from wealthy families. They
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: went to college. They weren't done yet, they went to
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: grad school. By the way, many of them got worthless
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: degrees underwater basket weaving queer theory, and they're like, yes,
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: I'm expressing my individuality.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: It turns out, by the way, don't forget the Taylor
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Swift classes they have at the your league schools Now,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: don't forget that's like a master's degree you can get.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Now, it turns out nobody wants to pay you for
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: queer theory that actually does not earn a paycheck. And
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: so these are downwardly mobile, over educated, bitter, ideological leftists
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: who feel like the world owes me something, and damn it,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I'm mad. Now, do you know what the single most
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Republican contingent of the twenty quadrants was?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: What was that?
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: High school or less interesting sixty thousand to one hundred thousand,
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: and sixty one percent of them vote Republican. Only thirty
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: nine percent vote Democrat. By the way, high school or
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: less one hundred thousand to two hundred thousand is forty
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: percent Democrat, and high school or less two hundred thousand
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: and more is forty one percent Democrat. So high school
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: or less, you're out working and succeeding. That is the
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: base of today's Republican Party. In terms of educational levels,
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: the most Republican aid educational level is high school or less.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: And actually Republicans win every income level from thirty thousand
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: all the way up. So if you run down the
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: high school or less less than thirty thousand, Democrats narrowly win.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: It's fifty one to forty nine, so it's almost a tie,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: making less than thirty thousand, thirty to sixty thousand Democrats
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: get forty three percent, sixty to one hundred thousand Democrats
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: get thirty nine percent, one hundred to two hundred thousand
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Democrats get forty percent, and over two hundred thousand Democrats
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: get forty one percent. So if you only have a
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: high school degree or less, you're voting Republican. Why Because
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: we're the party of jobs. We're the party of regular people.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: We're the party of people that actually go out and
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: work and have calluses on their hands. That's what we're doing.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: We're the party of sanity, where we believe men or
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: men and women are women.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: And by the way, we believe women exist. It's not
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: even we believe women are women like these crazy woke
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: radicals don't believe they're such a thing as a woman.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: No, they don't. And this goes back, by the way,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and I want to pause here because I think it's
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: important to bring this into perspective. When you worked hard
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: to push the legislation for no tax on tips and
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: no tax on overtime and also no tax you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and this is security like all of those things that
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump was talking about America. First, you were pushing
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: this legislation very very hard and leading it through the Senate.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: That explains also a lot about where the ball has
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: moved as well. Yes, the Republican Party was the one
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: that came up with this, and Donald Trump, not the Democrats.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: By the way, Democrats fought against it. Remind people how
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: they voted on that issue.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: So listen on no tax on tips, I'm the author
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: of that. I wrote the legislation that has no tax
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: on tips. When I'm at a restaurant, I'll often tell
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: the waiter and waitresses, Hey, by the way, how do
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: you like no tax on tips? They all love it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: The average deduction is over seven grand. You want to
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: talk about like a single mom waiting tables. That's real
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: money in her pocket for when I'm at when I'm
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: getting like my haircut at the barbers, like my barbers
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: are giving them a high five, saying thank you. That
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: is that has always been my base. But that's the
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: base of the Republican Party. You contrast that to the
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: educational line, that is, most Democrat are people with postgraduate degrees.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: And postgraduate degrees making less than thirty thousand, they vote
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: sixty seven percent Democrat. Thirty thousand to sixty thousand, they
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: vote seventy percent Democrat. The single most Democrat of all
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: twenty quadrants, postgraduate degree making sixty thousand to one hundred thousand,
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: they vote sixty five percent Democrat. Postgraduate degree making one
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: hundred thousand to two hundred thousand they make, they vote
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: sixty five percent Democrat. And postgraduate degree making more than
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: two hundred thousand, they vote sixty six percent Democrats. So
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: if you have a and by the way, I've got
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: a law degree, so apparently I did not learn the
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: indoctrination that I was supposed to learn going to college
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: and law school. And by the way, the college numbers
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: are not much better if you go to college, and Ben,
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry to tell you this is not broken out
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: did you go to Harvard? This is did you go
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: to college? So you went to Ole Miss. Yeah, those
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: numbers are there too. Everyone with a college degree is
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: a majority voting Democrat right now. And I think the
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: ideological indoctrination from colleges email is a big, big part
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: of this well.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And it's not just college. It's also happening in our
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: public schools at all levels. You see it in the
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: indoctrination elementary schools. You see this in the doctrination we've
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: seen with the gay pride days and the indoctrination of
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: those types of scenarios and men and women's locker room
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: and boys and girls or girls and boys sports. Like
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: the indoctrination in the elementary and the middle and the
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: high school is just as bad. The unions have taken
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that space over. They are using it is a a
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: ground to prey on kids' minds, to get them to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: believe that somehow America and democracy in capitalism is genuinely evil.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: And if you tell them that for twelve years, then
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: send them to college and you in doctrinate them again.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Now we're witnessing what happens.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: And by the way, that's a big part of the
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: reason why last year I also authored the biggest school
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: choice bill in American history that is going to help
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: millions of kids get out out of failing schools and
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: get a good education. And why I also authored the
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: Trump Accounts, which is going to create a whole new
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: generation of capitalists as our kids become invested in the
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: stock markets and owners of the biggest employers in America.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Let me tell you what Nate Silver wrote. Look, Nate
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Silver is this writer who is not a conservative, he's
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: left of center. But here's what he writes. Quote, what
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: is the most democratic voting group in America. It's voters
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: with postgraduate degrees but lowered middle household incomes of thirty
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: thousand to sixty one thousand per year. This is very
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: much also the sweet spot for the DSA. In the
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: group's most recent member survey in twenty twenty one, eighty
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: percent of members this is of the DSA, of the
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: crazy letling Marxists aged twenty five or older had bachelor's degrees. Wow,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: but forty five percent had household incomes below sixty thousand
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: per year. And so listen. Part of this is these
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: are young knuckleheads, many of them growing up with wealth,
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: some with trust funds, who were told to go to school,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: and nobody actually said, hey, when you go to school,
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: if you're going to go to college, maybe you ought
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: to study something that you could get a job that
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: you could produce something of value. And the concept of
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: I want to provide for my family, so I want
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: to do something that's valuable. Look, a plumber does something
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: of value, a cop does something of value, a teacher
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: does something of value, aed doctor does something of value,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: a nurse does something of value. And yet these left
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: wing radicals were told you don't need to actually study
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: something that can produce a good or service. People want
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: you should just gaze at your navel and engage in
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: political rantings and ravings. And so part of the reason
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: why they become communists is they think the world owes
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: them a living that they can't actually produce anything valuable.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: You know, if you're out digging ditches, that's valuable. A
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: high school graduate is out getting work as a construction
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: worker knows if I want to get paid, I gotta
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: go out and put up put up sheet rock. That
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: is a big big difference.
