Is the UK's Assault on Free Speech Coming to America? plus Harris & Walz Run Away from their own Radical Records · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome. It is verdicuous.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, Senator, there is
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: a big war going on when it comes to free speech,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: not just in this country but around the world, and
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: real concerns about what could happen with Harris in charge
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: in this country.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Free speech is under assault. In the United Kingdom, they
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: are going after they are sentencing people to jail for
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: their social media posts. They are threatening to take that
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: enforcement to America to go after Americans. And I'll tell
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: you what is really terrifying. As Kamala Harris and Tim
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Waltz are radicals and zealots when it comes to free speech,
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: We're gonna break down just how extreme their record is.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: This is the most anti free speech ticket that has
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: ever run. At the same time, Kamala Harris's campaign have
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: decided on a new strategy. She is gonna run as
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Suddenly Kamala Harris wants to secure the border.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Suddenly Kamala Harris loves her some fracking. And suddenly Kamala
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Harris has a brand new idea she cooked up just
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: on her own, with no help from anybody else, no
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: taxes on tips. We're going to talk about how they're
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: trying to gaslight the American people, and we're going to
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: contrast it with Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz's radical, extreme record.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: As I said, they are the most extreme ticket ever
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: nominated by a major party.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: We're going to break that down right now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Things I never thought i'd hear you say that Kamala
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Harris is actually going to be Donald Trump.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: But it is weird when you watch it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: over at Patriot Mobile. If you are a conservative and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: you're just sick and tired of giving your money to
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: companies that fight against your values, well then you really

  Speaker 2: need to take a look at your cell phone provider

  Speaker 2: they're on the frontline fighting for our First and our
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Second amendments, the sanctity of life, as well as our military,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: our first responder heroes and are wounded warriors. You can
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: take a stand and stand with a conservative company that's
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: fighting for our values. They make sure that every time
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: you pay your bill, they take about five percent of
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that bill at no extra cost to you, and they
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: give it back to the causes that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: You want to support.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Now, you're going to get the same nationwide coverage that
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: you're getting right now because Patriot Mobile operates on all
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: three major networks, mean the same towers you're using right now.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Plus then when you pay that bill, you know you're
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: sitting up for what you believe in. Switching has also
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: never been easier. They have one hundred percent US based

  Speaker 2: slash vertict. Are nine to seven to two Patriot and
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: get a free month. We use the offer code verdict
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: today center. This is very interesting, I also think shocking
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and concerning to see what is happening in the UK.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: They are, as you mentioned in the opening, not only
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: like spying on people looking at what they're putting online,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: but then deciding, hey, we don't like that, we may
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: charge you with crimes and put you in jail.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And people are actually going to jail in the UK
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: for this.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Well, that's exactly right.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: It is frightening in the United Kingdom now that they've
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: decided that if you post something they don't like, they
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: will arrest you and they'll put you in jail. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: want you to listen to this British judge as he's
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: sentencing this poor brit to twenty months in jail. Twenty months,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: that's almost two years for a Facebook post. He posted
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: something on Facebook. The British government didn't like it. They
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: sent him to jail.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Have a listen.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: You have been committed for sentence having pleaded guilty to
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: an offense of publishing written material which is threatening, abusive
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: or insulting, intending thereby to stir up racial hatred. The
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: context of your offending is that it arises out of
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: the civil unrest and disorder in many parts of the
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: United Kingdom. On the night of the second and third
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: of August, the Britannia Hotel in Leeds was attacked by
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: people who through missiles which damaged windows. The police were
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: called and on the third of August the hotel was
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: locked down for the protection of those who were living there.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: At the time, there were two hundred and ten occupants,
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: many of whom were foreign refugees and asylum seekers. Similar
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: attacks to the hotel were launched on the fourth of August.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: The police attended on each occasion and units were deployed
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: to safeguard the hotel and to provide an increase in
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: the police presence in the area. In between the two attacks,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: you took to social media in order to encourage others
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: towards participation in the attacks upon the hotel. As is
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: recognized on your behalf, this offense is so serious that
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: an immediate custodial sentence is unavoidable. Would you stand please.
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: The sentence that I pass has been reduced by one
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: third to reflect your guilty plea. The sentence is one
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: of twenty months imprisonment. You will serve up to one
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: half of your sentence in custody before you are released
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: in light on license. If you fail to abide by
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: the conditions of your license, you can be returned to
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: prison to serve some or all of the remainder of
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: the custodial term. The victim surcharge will apply and I
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: will make a collection order.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Two things are shocking there. One at the beginning he
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: said what you said was categorizing. He gave a list,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: but then he used the word insulting. So you can
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: now go to jail because you post something that is insulting.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: And then he.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Also says, by the way, you better be glad that
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: you pled guilty, which reduced your sentence by one third,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: which was still as you mentioned, twenty months, almost two years.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: This is in the UK, not in Russia.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: So and I will say so this is one of
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the videos. Every video we do, every pod we do
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: is released on audio. About a third of the pods
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: are also on video. This is one of the ones
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: that's on video. So if you're not watching on YouTube,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: if you're watching on YouTube, you saw the guy. And
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: I got to say, first of all, the image. If
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: you're just listening to it, go watch it. He's wearing
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: a red robe. He's got a white wig on.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I gotta say, by the way, you'd look damn fine
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: in one of those. You can carry it off, you.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Know, just a little bit menagement with you.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: There's gonna be some bet one day where I have
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: to host verdict with a white wig off.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: And look he's sitting there. It is now an a fence.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Apparently to to post something that that that that that
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: could be insulting. So you know, apparently if if you
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: play the uh, you know, play a song from Hamilton
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: where King George is portrayed as a defeat looking wig
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: wearing limey bastard, then apparently that's that that that could
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: be justifiable if it's inciting of hate.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, and what if someone just decides they don't like
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: a person online, they say, oh, they incited me to
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: do this, and that's why I went out and did this.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Therefore, go after that guy.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm curious, what do you think of the odds
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: that the Brits will enforce that against say, a radical
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Islamic cleric who's calling for Jahad to quote you zero
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: percentage zero no, no, no no no, you're not allowed.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: By the way, when people are pointing out the violence
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: that is occurring in Britain, if you actually point out
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: that you have because of massive immigration into Britain, you
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: have violence, many from people who are engaged in acts
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: of radical Islamic terrorism. This law is being enforced not
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: to stop the violence, but to stop someone from pointing
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: out who's committing it. It is literally you know, George
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: Orwell was British, and I gotta say Orwell wouldn't be
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: surprised he predicted this in nineteen eighty four, the judge saying,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: not saying, we will stop you from pointing something out.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: We will silence you and erase any narrative contrary to
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: the regime.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: And by the way, this is a threat not just
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: against people that are versuists. There is also a threat
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of going to jail if you're a foreigner who happens
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: to offend them as well.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: Oh come on, I love the Brits too much that
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: they would never threaten to violate the First Amendment of
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the Constitution with They never never.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: Okay, I want you to listen to this.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: Police chief from England explaining that he's coming after you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: He's coming after Americans. He's going to cross the pond
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: here he comes.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Give a listen.
• 9:32
  Speaker 6: We will throw the false horse at the law of people.
• 9:35
  Speaker 6: And whether you're in this country committing crimes on the
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: come after.
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: You about that.
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: Because we have seen some high profile figures whipping up
• 9:48
  Speaker 7: the hatred. He talked about it in there with the Offices,
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: in fact about this being added to bioline commentary. I mean,
• 9:53
  Speaker 7: I'm even thinking of the likes of Elon Musk getting involved.
• 9:57
  Speaker 7: What are you considering when it comes to dealing with
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: people they're whipping up this kind of behavior from behind
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: a keyboard, maybe in a different country.
• 10:06
  Speaker 6: Being a keyboard warrior does not make you safe from
• 10:09
  Speaker 6: the law. You can be guilty offenses of incitement stirring
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: up racial hatred. There are numerous terrorist offenses regarding the
• 10:19
  Speaker 6: publishing of material. All of those offenses are in play
• 10:23
  Speaker 6: if people are provoking hatred and violence on the streets,
• 10:26
  Speaker 6: and we will come after those individuals, just as we
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: will physically confront on the streets the folks and the
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: obs who are taking who are causing the promise for communities.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: I love the part at the end, and for people
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: that aren't getting to watch this, there's a slide that
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: was up at the end this report, and it's a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: warning that happened like on X warning people be careful
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: what you post because if you post something we don't like,
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: you may go to jail and then ex owner Elon
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Musk who who I just I love you on every
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: time I see him just clap back like this made
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: ways when he responded to footage of someone allegedly arrested
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: for offensive online comments by asking.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Is this Britain or this Soviet Union? Now?
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: To be clear, in an article quote, the crackdown on
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: social media includes a threat by the British government to
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: extra dight American citizens from the US to be jailed
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: in the UK for violating the rules.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: About political free speech.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: So this is my question, Center, if I tweet something
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: in America about the UK, could they then come after
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: me based on what they're now saying because that offended
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: somebody in the UK.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: Well, to be clear, the Chinese communists claim the power
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: to do that. Dictators across the world claim the power
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: to do that. I am sanctioned in communist China right now.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: They have sanctioned me. Congratulations, I'm quite proud of that.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: What did you do?
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: I don't even know.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I've probably called the murdering, tyrannical communist bastards. But I'm
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: sanctioned in China. I think I'm also sanctioned in Iran.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I can't quite that's a good US. I can't quite
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: keep up, and I think the Russians also. But it's
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: hard to keep up with how many oppressive regimes have
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: sanctioned me. But you know what, I never thought I'd
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: put the Brits on that list. You know, I've joked
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Heidi and I Heidi, I like to say Heidi and
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: I are a mixed marriage. She's a Francophile, I'm an
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: Anglo Phile. I love the Brits. Yeah, and it breaks
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: my heart. Look, the Magna Carta is on fire. The
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: United Kingdom led the world in championing liberty. But let
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: me point out that any britt that wants to extradite
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: an American, and by the way, Elon Musk is an
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: American citizen. You want to come after Elon, you better
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: come through me and the rest of us first. You know,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: we did have a little disagreement with the UK. It was,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: it was minor. It was in a year called seventeen
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: seventy six. They tried to tax our tea.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: By the way, I just want to go back in
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: history make sure yeah we did, OKAYI did.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: They try to tax our tea.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: We threw that stuff of the Boss and Harbor we
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: pulled out our muskets and we whipped their ass and
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: became free. And the idea that they would claim, look,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: look it actually it's sad. It it great nations rise
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and fall.
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: The United Kingdom has been incredibly important for liberty worldwide.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I could see some lefty picking
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: this little exchange and saying, oh, but the Brits were
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: slave traders. And it is true the United Kingdom there
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: their biggest industry for a period of time was the
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: slave trade until incredible heroes like William Wilberforce led the
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: fight to abolish the slave trade in the United Kingdom.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: The UK has a great history of fighting for liberty.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Is it perfect? No, But but whether it it is
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: winning World War One and World War Two with America's
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: mighty help. Look, there is a reason why in my
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: own office in the Senate, I have three busts in
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: my office. I have Ronald Reagan, I have Doctor Martin
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Luther King Junior, and I have Winston Churchill because Churchill
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: was an extraordinary leader. And by the way, if I
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: were to put a fourth bust up, I might put
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Margaret Thatcher up. I mean two of the British leaders
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: have been among the most extraordinary leaders the world has
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: ever known, and yet to see where the UK is now.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: It's heartbreaking that there's an arrogance and also a loss
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: of fundamental identity, a loss of who we.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Are, and that worries me.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: For this standpoint in America right now, I don't think
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: we're that far off from this. I worry about what
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: freedom speech in this country. I go back just over
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: the last six seven, eight years. You know, you couldn't
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: post an article about Hunter Biden's laptop, right that was
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: something that like, oh no, no, that's not real. We
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: had people in our that were supposed to trust in
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: our in our CIA directors and others that came out
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: and signed a letter knowing they were lying to the
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: American people, and there was no accountability, for example, for
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: that saying oh this is something that has the markings
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: of Russians. I mean, you look at what's happening this
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: country a free speech. I don't think we're that far off,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: especially if you look at Harris and what she says
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: And I want to demonstrate that because look, the most
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: important part of this podcast is underscoring you know a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: few years ago if I would have said, uh, the
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: UK is going to lock people up for making social
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: media posts, you probably would have dismissed that has come
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: on that that that they still respect individual liberty too
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: much to do that, and now they're doing it. We
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: are very close to that in today's Democrat Party. In
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: the last few years one of the greatest concerns I've had.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Is the Democrat Party.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: There used to be principled, passionate defenders of free speech
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: and the Democrat Party. They don't exist anymore. And today's
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Democrats have decided that free speech the First Amendment, is
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: incompatible with their desire to control you and to silence
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: speech they don't like. And today's Democrats being in bed
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: with big tech, they view it as a machinery of
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: censorship and oppression because power matters more to them than
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: free speech. You know, there's a great article Jonathan Turley,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the great law professor, wrote just a few days ago
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: in The Hill and it's entitled, Harris Waltz administration would
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: be a nightmare for free speech. And I want you
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: to look at Kamala Harrison Tim Waltz's record on free speech,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: because this is the most extreme and radical record on
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: free speech of any ticket that has ever run for
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: president with a major party. So you look at Joe Biden.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden has made censorship a critical part of his legacy.
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: He has accused social media companies of quote, killing people.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: That's Joe Biden for not censoring more so, that's his position.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: If you don't censor, you're killing people. The administration created
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: an office like quote, the Disinformation Governance Board. Remember, Yeah,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: the disinformations are led by that wacka who loved musical
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: theater and who had these these bizarre, smarmy singing things
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: on Twitter, who wanted to silence anyone she disagreed with.
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: Thankfully that disbanded because the pushback was was so significant.
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: But I want you to listen to Tim Waltz on
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: MSNBC what he says about free speech. Give a listen.
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: Years ago, it was the little things telling people to
• 17:45
  Speaker 8: vote the day after the election, and you know, we
• 17:47
  Speaker 8: kind of brush them off. Now we know it's intimidation
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: at the ballot box. It's it's undermining the idea that
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: mail in ballots aren't legal. I think we need to
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: push back on this. There's no guaranteed of free speech.
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: On misinformed or hate speech, and especially around our democracy,
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: tell the truth, where the voting places are, who can vote,
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: who's able to be there, And I you know, watching
• 18:08
  Speaker 8: some states continue to weaken the protections around the baut
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: I think is what inspiring us to lean into this.
• 18:15
  Speaker 9: Again.
• 18:16
  Speaker 8: All we're asking is is to make it as easy
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: and simple as possible to exercise their right to vote
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: and participate in our democracy. And I'm in one hundred
• 18:25
  Speaker 8: percent agreement with you. That makes it so that more
• 18:28
  Speaker 8: people are there, you get more opinions brought in, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: I think it tempers that extremes that we get because again,
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: I can't imagine someone going and standing in line for
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: eight hours to try and vote and then being told that,
• 18:43
  Speaker 8: you know, maybe the votes didn't count or maybe something Wronger,
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: you have these candidates who lose and are on these
• 18:50
  Speaker 8: ridiculous court cases that they keep bringing up and losing on.
• 18:53
  Speaker 8: Here in Minnesota, we're going to bring faith back into
• 18:56
  Speaker 8: that system. It's already been here. We're very proud that
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: we're near the top in voter turnout, but there's more
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: that we can do.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: So I want you to hear those words, because that
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: is radical. It is idiotic and it is wrong. So
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: here's a quote that he just said. Quote, there's no
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: guarantee to free speech on misinformation or hate speech, and
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: especially around our democracy. Now, that is utter garbage. There
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: is a guarantee of free speech. It's called the First
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Amendment to the Constitution. It is in the Bill of Rights.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: And listen to what he said. There's no guarantee on misinformation,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: by the way, and he said, look at these candidates
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: who filed lawsuits challenging elections. So apparently he wants to
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: go after you and prosecute you if you file a
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: lawsuit challenging an election. And he says, for example, misinformation,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: He says, we just want to make sure everyone has
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: the right to vote. Well, you know what, mister Waltz,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: I charge that as misinformation because your party tried to
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: throw Donald Trump off the ballot in Colorado, Illinois, and Maine.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: You don't just want to make sure everyone has the
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: right to vote when you're trying to stop them from
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: voting for your opponent. And understand, the only reason that
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: didn't succeed is because the Supreme Court unanimously rejected your
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: party's assault on democracy. And when he says I can't
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: imagine waiting eight hours in line to vote and then
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: being told that your vote somehow matters less. Okay, are
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: you planning to prosecute Hillary Clinton when she said that
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: the election where Donald Trump beater was rigged? It is
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: exactly like the Brits. By the way, it is purely
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: one sided. You don't see Tim walt saying We're going
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: to go after some radical Islamic cleric who is promising
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: that you will have seventy two virgins if you just
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: go murder innocent people, if you go murder Jews, that
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: that will be He would not apply it there. What
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: he means is, if you dare say something contrary to
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: the regime, you have no right to free speech. That
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: is dangerous and it's radical and it's wrong.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's something that people need to understand moving
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: forward in this election. This is who they are. Believe
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: them when they tell you they are radical. I've said
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: that over and over again. If you just look and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: listen to what they're saying, you can see what their
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: plan is.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: And the way, by the way, Waltz is not alone.
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: Let me give you an example. So Stacey Plaskett, who
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: is a Democrat in Congress representing the Virgin Island. She declared, quote,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I hope that all members recognize that there is speech
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: that is not constitutionally perspective protected, referencing hate speech in particular,
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: Ben Cardon, Democrat, senator from Maryland, said quote, if you
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: espouse hate, you're not protected under the First Amendment. Now,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: if he wrote that, he's a lawyer, if he wrote
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: that as a first year law student in constitutional law,
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: he would flunk. That's not even a D answer. That
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: it's an f answer. By the way, Howard Dean, remember
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: former governor Vermont, Democrat, ran for president. Here's what he said. Quote,
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: hate speech is not protected by the First Amendment. By
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: the way, the Supreme Court, it's a famous case, the
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Skokie case, where they upheld the right of Nazis to
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: march in Skokie, Illinois, because the First Amendment protects the
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: right to speak, even if what you're saying is hateful.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: And to be clear, I despise Nazis. They are bigoted,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: evil idiots. The First Amendment protects the right of bigoted,
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: evil idiots to speak their idiocy. And the response, by
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: the way, is not for government to censor them. Not
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: for government to lock them up for twenty months, as
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: they're doing in the United Kingdom. The response is to
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: stand up and say you're Nazis, you're morons. It was
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: a great moment, and raiders are the lost dark when
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: your faces melted because you are evil and foolish. The answer,
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: as John Stuart Mill said, to bad speech, is more speech.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: And by the way, if you don't want to listen
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: to me on it, listen to the Supreme Court of
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: the United States. Because the position of Tim Waltz, the
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: position of all those democrats I quoted, has been directly refuted.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give one example. In the twenty sixteen case
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: of Matal versus tam Here's what the Supreme Court wrote.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: Quote this position, rather, this position that hate speech is
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: not protected by the First Amendment. Quote strikes at the
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: heart of the First Amendment. Speech that demeans on the
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: basis of race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, disability, or any
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: other similar ground is hateful. But the proudest boast of
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: our free speech juris prudence is that we protect the
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: freedom to express the thought that we hate. I want
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: you to hear that phrase again. The proudest boast of
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: our free speech jurisprudence is that we protect the freedom
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: to express the thought that we hate. By the way,
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Mattal versus TAM was a decision that was unanimous. Nobody
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: descended from the judgment. And yet where are the Democrats. Well,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: let's look at Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris on her disasterbly
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: failed twenty twenty presidential campaign. Here's what she said. She
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: ran on censorship and she pledged quote that her administration
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: will hold social media platforms accountable for the hate infiltrating
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: their platforms because they have a responsibility to help fight
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: against this threat to our democracy. In twenty nineteen, Kamala
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: Harris said directly to Mark Zuckerberg, the lead owner of Facebook, quote,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: this is not a matter of free speech. This is
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: a matter of holding corporate America and these big tech
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: companies respond and accountable for what they are facilitating. Understand,
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harrison, Tim Waltz. If they win, they intend to
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: go after your free speech. They intend to pressure big
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: tech to censor even more. And what they define as
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: hate is anything contrary to their agenda. So, for example,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: if you point out, as say hypothetically someone may have
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: in Milwaukee at a speech at the Republican National Convention
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: to the world that every damn day Americans are being murdered,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: women are being raped, children are being brutalized by illegal aliens.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: That Kamala Harris is releasing in the world of Kamala
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: Harris and Tim Waltz, that might be deemed misinformation. Why
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: because it's hateful and what do they mean by hateful?
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: It's inconvenient for their political agenda, so they want to
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: censor it. And maybe not far from the Brits, they
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: want to put you in jail for saying it.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: You go back and you think about one thing here.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: The Democrats have been attacking the Supreme Court recently. They
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: don't like the Supreme Court very much, so just pack
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: it undo.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: That as well.
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: It's very interesting how they're playing this out here. It's
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: like anything we don't like we want to get rid
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: of or redo, we want to change it. They're coming
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: after the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, is Supreme Court.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: The list goes on and on from this team.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: And by the way, you know what Benjamin Franklin said
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: about this. I'm want to give you a quote from
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: Ben Franklin quote in those wretched countries where a man
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: cannot call his tongue his own, he can scarce call
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: anything his own. Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech without
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: freedom of thought. There can be no such thing as wisdom,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: and no such thing as public liberty without freedom of speech,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: which is the right of every man. That statement, Ben Franklin.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: There's a reason Ben Franklin's one hundred dollar bill. There's
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: a reason Ben Franklin sat at the Constitutional Convention the
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: famed Exchange when Franklin walked out of the Constitutional Convention
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: after they drafted the Constitution, and a passerby asked in
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: mister Franklin, what have you given us? And he said,
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: a republic if you can keep it. I will say,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: with today's radical democrats who have decided free speech is
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: inconvenient to their thirst for power, they're doing everything they
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: can to give up our republic.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Amen to that.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: I want to tell you about my friends ever blackout coffee.
• 27:51

  Speaker 2: that cup of coffee. Not only are they an awesome company,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: they're a company that supports conservative values. Now, there's a
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: lot of woke liberal coffee comings out there. When I
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: said that, you probably had two or three names pop

• 29:24
  Speaker 2: back after we have the warning of what just happened
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: in the UK, to Harris and Wallace Wells as a ticket. Now, yeah,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: they are a radical ticket that the Democratic Party has
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: never seen before. I think that's saying something. We've had
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: pretty extremist candidates before they've run. We've never seen a
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: dynamic duo like this where it's almost like they try
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: to one up each other on how extreme they can go.
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: Well, Ben, how could that be true.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: I've seen in the news that Kamala Harris was not
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the borders are that you never had anything to do
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: with the border. I've seen in the news how you
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: know fracking, Gosh, golly, she just loves her some fracking.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I've seen in the news now that she has proposals
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: straight from from from Donald Trump's tax plan. I mean,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: it is amazing how Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz are
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: trying to whitewash their entire record. You go to Kamala
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Harrison Tim Waltz's website, which I don't advise, but there
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: are no policy positions on it.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: She's gonna have some though.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: I've never seen a presidential campaign website without policy positions.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: It really is remarkable. And and and and.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Doing no interviews as well, that's weird.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: And and she's trying to run as the candidate of
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: change as the incumbent.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: In fact, there's a great montage that went viral this
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: week online and I think it goes exactly the point
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: you were making, which is they're constantly changing who they
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: are to try to fit what they think will get elected. Now,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: this is brilliant.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Take a look.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: Kamala Harris pretends she wants to fix the broken border,
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: but she has attacked and vilified everyone responsible for enforcing it.
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: Clan was what we would call today a domestic terrorist group.
• 31:14
  Speaker 10: Are you aware of the perception of many about how
• 31:20
  Speaker 10: the power and the discretion at ice is being used
• 31:24
  Speaker 10: to enforce the laws and do you see any parallels.
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: I do not see any parallels between.
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about perceptions and eight. Are you aware that
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: there's a perception ICE.
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: In the same category as the KKKA.
• 31:35
  Speaker 11: We've got to critically re examine ICE and its role
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: and the way that it is being administered and the
• 31:41
  Speaker 11: work it is doing, and we need to probably think
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: about starting from scratch.
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: I was the chief of the barbatroal.
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: I commanded twenty one thousand people.
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: I've never had one conversation with the president or the
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: vice president for that matter.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: That's a problem.
• 31:55
  Speaker 12: Jensaki, Vice President Kamala Harris others have seized on this
• 31:58
  Speaker 12: photo of a border patrol agent on a horse in
• 32:02
  Speaker 12: del Rear over the weekend. They say visuals were horrific.
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: In their words, I was outraged by it, and it's
• 32:08
  Speaker 11: to be consequence and accountability. It also evolved images of
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: some of the worst moments of our history where that
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: kind of behavior has been used against the indigenous people
• 32:21
  Speaker 11: of our country, has been used against African Americans during
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: times of slavery at and.
• 32:26
  Speaker 13: That is just blatantly false. First off, these agents don't
• 32:30
  Speaker 13: have whips. We have a couple of them behind us,
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: right now. Look, we'll show it to you. What was
• 32:33
  Speaker 13: seen in the photos is they have what are called
• 32:36
  Speaker 13: split range.
• 32:37
  Speaker 11: The border patrol agents were attacked by the Vice President
• 32:40
  Speaker 11: of the United States and now the Department of Homeland Security.
• 32:42
  Speaker 12: But he had still photos that of course the media
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: blew up to mean something that it wasn't.
• 32:48
  Speaker 13: But the agents are very frustrated by the narrative out there.
• 32:51
  Speaker 12: They threw border patrol members under the bus that you
• 32:54
  Speaker 12: are that border patrol member who's being compared by the
• 32:58
  Speaker 12: Vice president to a slave owner.
• 33:02
  Speaker 11: It was clear from the beginning that they were not
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: whipping any migrants. Do you plan to visit the.
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: Border not today.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: This is a woman, to be clear, that said we
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: needed to just abolish ice and start all over. Now
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: she's saying, oh, I'm gonna be tough on the border
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: because we got to secure the border. There's the same
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: woman that said that the border wall was racist. But
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: now the media is like, oh, hey, we got to
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: change the narrative here because people are concerned about the border.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: We know it's a presidential election, your issue, and we're.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Gonna act like somehow, now she's gonna get tough on
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the border. It's absurd, but they're helping her do this
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: lie perpetrate this line on the American people.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: And listen, as you know, I spend a lot of
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: time at our southern border. I know a lot of
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: Border patrol agents very very well. This demonization, she said
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: at a hearing, she compared ICE agents to.
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: The ku Klux Klan.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: That's grotesque. And and and she compared border patrol agents
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: two slave owners whipping African Americans. And by the way,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: that photograph that the press went crazy with, and then
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: she eagerly leapt on that photographs, that characterization was wrong,
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: that border patrol agent was simply riding his horse. Those
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: were the reins, And it was wrongfully characterized that that
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: that anybody was being whipped. And I've talked to border
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: patrol agents who were deeply offended at the Vice President
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: at the administration demonizing the brave men and women who
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: risk their lives to keep us safe. She is a
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: radical who has consistently argued for abolishing ICE. By the way,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: she's also supported defunding and abolishing the police when it
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: comes to law enforcement. Any time, Kamala Harris, you.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: Get people out of jail, by the way, in Minnesota
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: who were involved in the riots while they burning down
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: the city.
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: What's why she and she and Tim Waltz are such
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: a good pair because Tim Waltz was governor of Minnesota
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: when Minneapolis burned, when Antifa and Black Lives Matter radicals
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: were burning the city where fire bombing police cars were
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: looting stores, we're attacking police officers were attacking citizens. He
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: did nothing. He did not send in the National Guard.
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: He held it back. And what did she do? As
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: you said, she raised money to bail the violent rioters
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: out of jail. Consistently, given the choice between law enforcement
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: and criminals, Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz choose the criminals.
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: Given a choice between border patrol and ice and illegal immigrants,
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris and Tim Waltz, they choose the illegal immigrants.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: That's their record, and they're magically trying to make that
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: go away.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: You and I were at the Republican convention. You and
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: I both had the conversation the last night that we met.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: We were worried that we came out of there too
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: confident because it was such a great convention. Everything started
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: all over with Kamala Harris. Now be no one's voted for,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: but apparently that doesn't matter. She's the nominee and we're.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: But Tim Waltz said, all they want is democracy.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's true.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: But does democracy mean people actually have to vote for
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: the candidate or what about the millions of Democrats have
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: voted for Joe Biden.
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Do they not have a right to democracy?
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Fair point. But you look at this and you
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: see where we are now.
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: I'm very concerned about this election, and I think it's
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: a complete reset. And I'm also very concerned with the
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: kind contribution coming from the media. What I mean by
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: that perfect example of this is Donald Trump seized on
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: something that was very authentic and organic. He was out
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: in Vegas, he was having a conversation with people in
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the service industry.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: He had an idea apparently wrote it on a napkin.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: We shouldn't tax tips. Help people survive, help people make
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: a living. And he said it at a rally and
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: it just work and it stuck and people loved it
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: because he was a guy looking out for the little guy.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: He was advocating for these hard working people that rely
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: on tips as part of their income, and it obviously
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: played well with many people in this country. Fast forward
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: a few days ago, kam Way Harris says the same thing.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Well, and let me give a little more narrative on that.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: So Trump announced it at the Vegas rally. And and
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I think the next week he was in DC and
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: I had lunch with him. He had lunch with all
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: the Republican senators. He was actually telling us the backstory
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: of it, and and and he said, well, you know,
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: this was not an idea that came from a bunch
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: of policy experts that had a bunch of white papers.
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: He said he.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Was in Vegas right before the rally, and he said
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: he was having I think lunch or dinner.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: I think it was lunch.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: And he said there was a waitress who came up
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: who complained about the really oppressive enforcement from Joe Biden
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris of their efforts to tax tips and how
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: it was really burdened some of the record keeping and
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: it was really hard. And and Trump says, at dinner,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: pulled out a piece of paper and just wrote down
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: no taxes on tips. And then he said he went
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: to the rally and he just said it, and he said, and.
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: They went wild, they went wild.
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: I got to say there are moments I think of
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: political genius, and I think that was one of them.
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: So the next week I introduced legislation in the Senate
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: to exempt tips from taxes because I heard that idea
• 38:24
  Speaker 3: and it's exactly right. And the reason I introduced legislation.
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: There are a lot of reasons, but one right at
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: the heart is for over a decade, for as long
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: as I've been in the Senate, I have been advocating
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: that the Republican Party, we should be a blue collar party.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: We should be the party of waiters and waitresses. We
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: should be the party of bartenders. We should be the
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: party of hairdressers and nail salon workers and taxi cab
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: drivers and and and everyone who has callouses on their
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: hands because they're working hard, and it is a policy.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: The contrast is night and day. That's who we should
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: be fighting for. And you know it's striking. I introduced
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: that legislation. It's got a number of co sponsors. You
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: know who also joined it. Here's that both Democrat senators
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: from Nevada, really Jackie Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto, both
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: joined my legislation. Because about twenty five percent of the
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: workers in Nevada are tipped workers. And I got to
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: say my reaction when I heard him make that proposal,
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: I said, Donald Trump will carry Nevada on that policy issue.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: By the way, the culinary union has come out emphatically
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: in support of Trump's proposal, emphatically in support of my
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: legislation exempting tips from taxes. And so this week here's
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. I want you to give a listen, first
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: to Trump in Nevada announcing the policy proposal, and then
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: Kamala just shamelessly copying him.
• 39:52
  Speaker 8: Give a listen, because when I get to office, we
• 39:55
  Speaker 8: are going to not charge taxes on tips people make tips.
• 40:04
  Speaker 11: Eliminate taxes on tips for service and hospitality workers.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's just straight up stealing. But I do
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: think so.
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: June ninth is when Trump said it.
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: August tenth is when she said it, and she didn't
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: have the dignity to say, you know, I actually would
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: have respected it more as she says, Look, there are
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: lots of areas where I disagree with Donald Trump. I'm
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: a left wing Democrat kook.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: He's not.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: However, he had an idea that's a really good one,
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: and I'm here to tell you right now would this,
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: I would do the same that I could respect. But
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: she doesn't acknowledge it. And the irony is she also
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: doesn't acknowledge what prompted it, which is that her administration,
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: the Biden Harris administration, she was the tie breaking vote
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: on the legislation that provided millions for the IRS to
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: go after waiters and waitresses and everyone's who's making tips
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: and to enforce it vigorously and to hammer on them.
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: And yet she doesn't acknowledge any of that. This is gaslighting,
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: one on one.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: This is why, by the way, I love doing the show,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: and I will say to everybody that right now listening
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: or watching, this is when I ask you share it.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: And here's why.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Know when the media is going to tell you this
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: in February, because what you're just said.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: Is not something ten years ago. And then she had
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: a change of heart.
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, it's not like it was a polic ten years ago,
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: and there was some negative effects came out of it
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: that you didn't realize, and then you're like, hey, look
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: that was a long time ago, decade ago.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: In February of twenty twenty three.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: It came to light that Biden's IRS planned to crack
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: down on the service industries reporting on tips. The Service
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Industry Tip Compliance Agreement Program was to be a voluntary
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: tip reporting system in which the IRS and the service
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: industry companies cooperated, which is where they would crackdown on
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: the actual workers. The program was meant to quote improve
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: tip reporting compliance, reduce administrative burdens, and provide more transparency
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: and certainty to tax payers, again going after the little
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: guy here. And the program feature included quote monitoring of
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: employer compliance based on actual annual tip revenue, So big
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: brother watching you and charge tip data from an employer's
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: point of sales system, so now the computer's tracking you.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: And allowance for adjustments in tipping practices from year to
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: year to protect the employer from getting in trouble by
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: turning in in essence their employees. And who did this,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden. And now she's out there
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: saying I want you to not have to pay taxes
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: on your tips, when again, twenty twenty three February wasn't
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: that long ago?
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, this is a standard practice and pattern
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris siding with the big guy
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: siding with giant corporations, whether it's big tech or giant
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: corporations against the little guy. You know, there was an
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: interesting story this same lunch where Trump was telling us
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: the backstory of this proposal.
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: The day before the.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Lunch, Trump and Lindsey Graham had played golf, and Lindsey
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: told everyone, he said, look, the two of us were
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: playing golf, and they're both big golfers, and you know, look,
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: your son is one of the best golfers in the world.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: But Lindsey described how midway through the golf game, he said,
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: their two caddies came up and hugged Donald Trump because
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: he had just made the proposal of no taxes on tips.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: And listen, golf caddies like barbers, like bartenders. There there
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: were all sorts of professions where a big chunk of
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: their revenue and many of them were just barely making
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: ends meet. They're just starting to climb the economic ladder,
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: and they literally came and hugged him for that proposal.
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: And so Kamala Harris is now trying to pretend, Look,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: I'm glad she's supporting my legislation. I got to say,
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: this is a first. I do not believe Kamala Harris
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: as ever before publicly endorsed legislation that I filed and
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: am the lead author of. Now, she didn't mention it
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: was my legislation. She didn't mention it was Trump's idea.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: And to be clear, I took the idea from Trump.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: It was his idea and ran with it. I just
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: had the sense of saying, that's a damn good idea,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: let's do it. And so I went and put pen
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: to paper to actually draft it to make it happen.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: But but but I readily credit it was Trump's idea.
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Kamala could not be bothered to acknowledge anything other than
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: pretending this has always been her view.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Mom and Agad, I told you about Blackout Coffee, and well,

• 46:33
  Speaker 2: something else that's been happening over the last couple weeks,
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: and that is the media is trying to make Harrison
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: a running mate look like they're moderates, like they're not extremists,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: they're not radicals, even though their entire history says that's
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: exactly what they are.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: Look I want you to listen to two clips that
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: really sums up just how extreme they are. The first
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: is from Tim Waltz and he's talking about his fellow
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: Minnesota ilhan Omar. To be clear, illhan Omar is one
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: of the founding members of the Squad. She is a radical,
• 47:05
  Speaker 3: anti Semiti, she hates Israel. She is extreme. Listen to
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: what Tim Waltz thinks about.
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: Her something I'll never get tired of saying. I think
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: all of you, Congresswoman Omar, wonderful.
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: And that's up.
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: When I'm having a tough day or I'm out on
• 47:26
  Speaker 8: about mile five of my run and I'm feeling kind
• 47:28
  Speaker 8: of down and the world's pressing on me, I think
• 47:30
  Speaker 8: Ilhan Omar is a congresswoman and it just brightens you up.
• 47:33
  Speaker 10: So thank you.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: I just wonder like mile three is he's sitting there
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: thinking about that's the same congressman that said that the
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: terrorists that attacked us on nine eleven were some people
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: that did some things.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: Look, Ilhan Omar is a congresswoman, and that's something that
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: just brightens you up.
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: That's what he said.
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: This is everyone will acknowledge one of the most radical
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: and extreme is zealous, and that brightens his day. That
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: tells you who he is. Now, if you think that's bad,
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: I got something worse.
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: Do you like Christmas?
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: Love Christmas?
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well you're not Kamala Harris. Give a listen to Kamala.
• 48:17
  Speaker 11: When we all sing happy tunes and sing Merry Christmas
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: and wish each other merry Christmas, these children are not
• 48:24
  Speaker 11: going to have a merry Christmas. How dare we speak
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: Merry Christmas? How dare we.
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: I haven't seen somebody get that crazy about hating Christmas
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: in a long time.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: And understand what she's saying. They're in context. She's talking
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: about illegal immigrants, and she's saying illegal immigrants are having
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: a lousy time. So how dare we say Merry Christmas? Immigrants?
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: I mean it is.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: This is a woman whose entire career has been siding
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: with criminals and with illegal immigrants, and in her mind,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: even saying Merry Christmas is unacceptable as long as there
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: is one illegal immigrant.
• 49:10
  Speaker 4: Who was not backs basking in luxury.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: All right, final point before we wrap up, I'm gonna
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: make a prediction. So eleven months ago, on Verdict, I
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: predicted that the Democrats would throw Joe Biden off the ticket.
• 49:30
  Speaker 4: You were you were correct.
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: Let's have that moment.
• 49:34
  Speaker 4: At the time many in the media.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: I do too. It wasn't what I wanted to have happened.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: It was a prediction. And by the way, over the
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: eleven months, I gave a a scaling set of odds
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: that increased as we got closer and closer and closer.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: The night of the debate between Trump and Biden. You
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: and I recorded a podcast immediately after the debate. I
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: said that night, the Democrats, we'll push Joe Biden off.
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: I put the odds at one hundred percent at the time,
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: and they did, and they did. So I'm going to
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: make another prediction, and it's not one that I want
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: to have happen. I'm gonna put the odds at forty
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: percent that Joe Biden resigns between now an election.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Day, really forty percent, so that they can see her
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: as president's or it'll be easier to get her elected.
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: That's exactly right.
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: So that Kamala Harris is the incumbent president, she is
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: running for a reelection. I still think it is sixty forty.
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: They don't that Biden's high. That that Biden they pushed
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: him out, They pushed him out. I think he's pretty ticked.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: He'd have to go along with it. But I think
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: there are going to be very serious discussions in the
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: White House by all the partisans whose paycheck is written
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: by continuing the regime. Everyone who stays in power is
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: going to say, you know, now, if you say your
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: health has reached a point that you need to step aside,
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: which clearly it has. Of course it had a year ago,
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: two years ago, three years ago, four years ago. But
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: if you say that and she's the sitting president from
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: the Democrat perspective, I think they would say it increases
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: our chances of her winning, and we want to win,
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: and they put winning above everything else. I don't think
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: it's greater than fifty to fifty, but I think it
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: is a very real possibility right now today.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I don't like that prediction.
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't I don't either. I
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: don't want it to come true.
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: It gives it like it gives her a huge advantage,
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: huge advantages.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: Which is why I think they will have a very
• 51:45
  Speaker 3: serious discussion. I think if they can bully Joe Biden
• 51:48
  Speaker 3: into doing it, it'll happen.
• 51:50
