0:01

Welcome in his verdict with Center, Ted Cruz

0:03

Ben Ferguson with you Center. We have got

0:05

a lot to talk about, including some shocking

0:08

economic numbers that are

0:10

telling a large percentage

0:13

of Americans that home ownership

0:15

may not be attainable for you under

0:17

the Biden administration's Bidenomics.

0:20

Well, the reality of Bidenomics is coming

0:22

home to roost for a lot of people, and the

0:25

latest stats are showing that more

0:27

than half of Americans are no longer in a position

0:30

to afford a median priced

0:32

home. It is stunning, and

0:34

it is imposing real harms on real

0:37

Americans. We also have the

0:39

latest stats of what's happening at the border and

0:41

in particular a Chinese

0:43

invasion under Joe Biden. The number

0:45

of Chinese nationals crossing the border

0:48

is skyrocketing under Joe Biden, going

0:50

up and up and up. We're going to break all that down, and

0:52

finally we're going to talk about Robert F. Kennedy Junior,

0:55

and in particular, he went on CNN. CNN

0:58

through him what they thought would

1:00

be just softball

1:03

to say Trump is horrible at a threat

1:05

to democracy, and Robert F. Kennedy

1:07

Junior shocked CNN by saying no,

1:10

actually, he thought there was a very serious

1:12

argument that Joe Biden was

1:14

a much greater threat to democracy than Donald

1:16

Trump. We're going to break that down as well.

1:19

Before we get to all that, I want to talk to you about

1:21

what you can do to help people in

1:23

Israel. Right now, we all know

1:25

about the atrocities that were committed by Hamaslaks

1:28

last October the seventh, which kicked

1:30

off a vicious war. As Israel

1:32

is defending herself from terraces now

1:35

on every side. The toll on

1:37

the Israeli people is real. It is

1:39

staggering, and it's massive. Hundreds

1:41

of thousands of Israelis have been forced from

1:43

their homes. Entire communities torn

1:45

apart, lives have been devastated

1:48

by death and destruction and war. The

1:50

International Fellowship of Christian and Jews,

1:53

known as IFCJ, is right

1:55

there in the middle of it.

1:57

Each and every day.

1:59

They are distributing right now critical

2:01

essentials like food, medicine,

2:03

and emergency supplies for hundreds

2:05

of thousands of suffering Jews that have been

2:08

displaced. The need is great,

2:10

and that's why I am partnering

2:12

with IFCJ today and I want

2:14

you to get involved in help. I want

2:16

you to visit support IFCJ

2:21

dot org to help. Every

2:23

donation is urgently need to help the people

2:25

of Israel.

2:26

A lot of people who said, how can I help?

2:27

This is how you can help to give the

2:30

International Fellowship of Christian and Jews.

2:32

All you have to do is go to support IFCJ

2:35

dot org and give as generously as you

2:37

can, because your gift will be matched

2:40

to double in impact and help

2:42

provide twice the support. Right

2:44

now again, that's support IFCJ

2:47

dot org, Support IFCJ

2:50

dot org. Thank you and God bless

2:52

Senator. Let's talk about this shocking

2:55

new data that's come out. Fox

2:57

News kind of broke it and they said America

3:00

now need an annual salary

3:03

of at least one hundred and ten thousand to

3:05

afford a medium price home. That

3:08

is up from about seventy four thousand

3:10

in twenty twenty.

3:12

That is staggering.

3:14

Yeah, it's a dramatic shift. And this

3:17

is Bidenomics is hurting

3:19

Americans across this country and it's hurting

3:21

virtually everyone. It's hurting seniors.

3:24

Seniors are getting hammered by bidenmics

3:26

because inflation is driving up the cost

3:28

of living the cost of everything they're spending, and

3:30

yet they're on a fixed income. But Bidenomics

3:33

is also really hammering

3:35

young people, young couples that

3:38

are buying their first home. They're facing the

3:40

simple reality you come out to get your first home.

3:42

You're all excited. You want to have a home, you want

3:44

to raise a family, and they're discovering

3:47

both home prices have risen dramatically

3:50

under Joe Biden, but also interest rates.

3:53

Young people, many young people of people

3:55

in their twenties, even people in their thirties have

3:57

never known inflation. They've never known what it was because

3:59

we've been living in a little bit of a holiday from history

4:02

where inflation hasn't existed. And

4:04

suddenly people buying their first home, or for that

4:06

matter, their second or third or fourth home as they progress

4:09

in life, are discovering

4:12

that the home they used to be able to

4:14

get at a two and a half percent

4:16

interest rate, now they can

4:18

get half as much home at

4:20

a seven percent interest rate. And that is

4:22

meaning a lot of people

4:25

are not able to buy homes. They're locked

4:27

into whatever home they're at because they need

4:29

the interest rates low, and those rates

4:31

are locked in although they have an adjustable rate

4:33

mortgage. A number of those are headed

4:35

towards expiring, which is putting people at a fiscal

4:37

cliff. But they're

4:40

also finding if it's your first home. A

4:42

whole lot of people just home ownership

4:45

is beyond their reach. And the

4:47

median price home. Look,

4:50

it's worth refreshing some basic

4:52

math. There are a number of

4:54

different ways to think of averages. There's

4:56

the mean, which is the average. You take all

4:59

the all the different prices and

5:01

you average them together, and the

5:03

average price is if there's one

5:06

that's one hundred million and a bunch

5:08

that are lower, the average will rise higher

5:10

because of the one. The median is

5:12

a very different measure. It's not

5:14

the average price, but it's

5:17

rather the middle price, the midpoint

5:19

price. So the median price means half

5:22

the prices are higher and

5:24

half the prices or no are lower. So

5:27

it's identifying the highest

5:29

point on the bell curve. And what

5:31

is striking And we're going to play right now what Fox

5:33

News said about this. The median

5:36

priced home is now

5:38

significantly above the

5:40

median salary, and that is meaning

5:43

for many Americans home ownership,

5:45

particularly if you don't have a home already, is

5:48

being priced out of reach by Joe Biden.

5:50

The average home buyer needs to make over one hundred

5:53

and ten thousand dollars to afford the

5:55

average home. A new Bank Rate study

5:57

showing that the required salary to make

5:59

that purchase has jumped forty

6:01

six percent in just four years. Home

6:04

Buyers only needed to make seventy six thousand

6:06

back in twenty twenty, and the issue

6:09

widespread. You now need a six figure

6:11

salary to buy the average home in twenty

6:13

three states, including the District

6:16

of Columbia. Four years ago, that number

6:18

was just six. Mortgage rates, of

6:20

course, have played a small role in the bump, but

6:22

home prices have by and large kept

6:24

pace with the needed salary to buy them.

6:27

The average home up forty two percent,

6:29

sitting at four hundred and twelve thousand dollars

6:32

now. Even though the housing market may be pricing

6:34

people out, people shouldn't be too quick to

6:36

think that renting is the solution.

6:39

Since President Biden took office, rents

6:41

are up nearly twenty one percent.

6:44

You look at the rent numbers there, and let's just

6:46

go through some of those data points real quick.

6:48

Center.

6:49

You look at your salary, and if

6:52

you look at your salary January

6:54

twenty twenty, they said you need seventy nine

6:57

and thirty nine dollars to

6:59

afford the met price home. Now

7:02

you need one hundred and ten eight hundred and seventy one

7:04

dollars. That is a forty six percent

7:06

increase. As the average American have they've

7:08

received a forty six percent raise in the last

7:10

four years, the answer is going to be no.

7:13

Well, that's exactly right. And you know, forty

7:16

six percent is a stunning number

7:19

because Joe Biden has been president

7:22

barely a little bit over three years,

7:24

three years and three months. That's

7:26

not very long. Three years and

7:28

three months to have home prices go up forty

7:30

six percent, that is a massive

7:33

impact on people trying to purchase a home.

7:35

And and listen, seventy

7:38

six thousand dollars is a lot

7:40

of money that that is, but

7:43

comparatively going from seventy six

7:45

thousand to one hundred and eleven

7:48

thousand dollars in three and a half

7:50

less than three and a half years, that

7:52

is the very real impact of Joe

7:54

Biden the Democrats printing trillions

7:57

of dollars we don't have, and

7:59

it is her Americans across this country,

8:02

as home ownership is getting less

8:04

and less affordable.

8:06

You also look in there they were talking about

8:08

and just again it's a prospective issue.

8:10

Here states

8:12

where you needed six figure salaries are

8:15

more to afford a home

8:17

January twenty twenty only six states. Now

8:20

this is spread nationwide, twenty

8:22

three different states, but the district of Columbia

8:25

you've got to make now more than six

8:27

figures plus to afford

8:30

home ownership. That is

8:32

Bidenomics hitting everybody

8:34

across this country.

8:35

Well, and ben you know who doesn't care about this. Democrats.

8:40

So one of the most important political shifts.

8:43

It used to be conventional wisdom that

8:45

the Republicans of the Party of the rich and

8:47

Democrats of the Party of the poor and working class.

8:50

That's been turned on its head. I think the most significant

8:53

political shift of the last decade is

8:56

today Democrats of the Party of the rich. So if

8:58

you talk to Democrats, I don't know a

9:00

Democrat senator who cares about this because,

9:02

frankly, who are they listening to. They're

9:05

listening to big tech billionaires.

9:07

They're listening to the

9:11

super wealthy lawyers and Hollywood

9:15

producers. They are

9:17

the hedge fund party that is

9:19

the Democrats today, And you know who they're

9:22

not the Party of any more steel

9:25

workers, truck drivers, cops,

9:28

firefighters, teachers,

9:31

waiters, waitresses, working

9:34

men and women. The Democrat

9:37

Party has abandoned, they've left behind,

9:40

and so the people they're getting hammered by this.

9:42

And by the way, young people and Democrats

9:45

want to convince young people, hey, we're all for you

9:47

because because we're just going to focus

9:49

on social issues. And listen, if

9:51

you're young, the Democrats tell you, the only thing

9:53

you should care about is transgenderism. Apparently

9:56

it is the most important issue on planet

9:58

Earth. Not a homicidal

10:00

iatola trying to murder us, not an

10:02

invasion at our southern border, not the

10:05

fentanyl crisis and the drug overdoses.

10:07

None of those are the problem. Transgenderism

10:10

is the issue that you, as a young person,

10:12

should care about intensely. Well, you know what,

10:15

there are a lot of young people like maybe you're in college

10:17

and you buy that nonsense, But

10:20

then you get out of school and you're like, wait a

10:22

second, I got to pay for an apartment. How

10:24

much is rent? Again?

10:26

Wait?

10:27

Rent? I can't afford rent. And by the

10:29

way, look that Fox News story

10:31

was really striking. If people can't afford to

10:33

buy a home and they can't afford to rent.

10:36

Well, that's kind of a problem. What are they supposed

10:38

to do? What's the alternative to

10:40

those two things? And it is the working men

10:42

and women who bid nomics

10:45

is leaving behind in the dust.

10:47

Yeah, twenty percent plus. Rent at

10:49

rates are up on average nationwide.

10:51

Well, I've never said this before, Center, but the

10:54

Fox News story that we played

10:56

was actually the best

10:58

way of prison the problem. Yahoo

11:01

Finance came out and said it's

11:04

actually worse than the way they

11:06

reported on Fox. Here is

11:08

what they said when it came to home

11:10

buyers. They actually said, in reality,

11:13

home buyers need to earn eighty percent

11:16

more than they did in twenty twenty

11:18

to afford a home in today's market.

11:20

If you're looking at overall home prices,

11:23

listen to this from Yahoo Finance.

11:24

Manny Americans, home ownership is seeming

11:27

more and more out of reach. According

11:29

to new analysis from Zillow, home

11:31

prices have jumped forty two percent since

11:34

twenty twenty, but the average person

11:36

needs to earn eighty percent more

11:38

than they did at that time in order

11:40

to comfortably afford a home in today's

11:43

market.

11:43

Center, It's interesting how they looked

11:45

at this. They're saying, there are different

11:48

ways to look at it. They look at it as

11:50

the issue of can you comfortably afford

11:52

a home in today's market. To comfortably

11:55

afford a home in today's market, they say you

11:57

need to earn eighty percent more than

11:59

you did in twenty twenty because

12:02

of the skyrocketing cost the home, interest

12:04

rates, inflation, and everything else. So they're saying,

12:07

hey, it's even worse than what the

12:09

best case scenario data shows you.

12:11

Hear, and they said, quote, today, those

12:13

shopping for a home need to earn one hundred and six thousand

12:15

annually to afford a medium price home. But

12:18

this is the part that you don't understand.

12:21

The cost of insurance, the cost

12:23

of heating, the cost of everything

12:26

when you own a home has gone up

12:28

so much more that you need

12:30

to earn eighty percent more than

12:32

you did in twenty twenty.

12:34

Well, that's right, and it's striking. It

12:37

makes you ask why would the Democrats be

12:39

doing this? Listen, The classic

12:41

question in any election is are you better off

12:43

now than you were four years ago? And

12:46

for the overwhelming majority of Americans,

12:48

the answer to that is hell no. That under

12:51

Joe Biden, people who are who

12:53

are working class people who are seniors,

12:56

people who are young, people who are struggling, people

12:58

are getting started, people who want to a home, people

13:01

who want to rent. All of them their life

13:03

has gotten much harder. And you know, it reminds me

13:05

of what we talked about two days ago on Monday's

13:07

Pod, which is California.

13:11

This week on Monday imposed a

13:13

new twenty dollars minimum wage for

13:16

fast food restaurants with more than sixty

13:20

sixty stores. Now. One

13:22

of the things that striking California

13:24

exempted Panera Breads, which

13:27

just happens to be owned by a very close

13:29

friend of the governor, Gavin Newsom.

13:31

So it's a classic example of Democrats,

13:34

you know, cronyism, that they

13:36

will give special gifts to their buddies who

13:38

happen to be big campaign contributors,

13:41

and everyone else has different rules. But what

13:43

we saw this week is thousands

13:45

and thousands and thousands of Californians

13:48

being laid off because of

13:50

this new law imposed by the Democrats.

13:53

Just Pizza Hut, there were over twelve hundred

13:55

people laid off. And you know, last night I was

13:57

having dinner with a number of friends and

13:59

they were asking, why

14:01

would the Democrats do this? Wouldn't they understand,

14:04

wouldn't people in California get

14:06

pissed off? And what I told them

14:08

then, and this is actually highly relevant

14:11

to the home ownership question. What

14:13

I told my friends who are having dinners, I said, listen,

14:17

they're making a gamble that

14:20

enough of the voters will not understand

14:24

who is to blame. So they're over

14:26

five hundred thousand fast food employees

14:29

in California. A bunch of them will get a pay raise.

14:31

The ones that don't get laid off, the ones

14:33

whose employers don't go bankrupt and go

14:35

out of business. The rest of them will get

14:38

a pay raise. By the way, people who get a pay raise are

14:40

likely the ones that are more highly skilled. The

14:42

ones who will lose their jobs are likely

14:45

more likely to be teenagers. Many of them

14:47

are low income, many of them are African American,

14:49

many of them are Hispanic. They're the ones just

14:51

getting started in

14:54

their careers. They're the ones who get devastated

14:56

by Democrats. But I explained, I said, look, the

14:59

people getting free stuff the

15:01

Democrats are gambling politically. They'll be grateful.

15:03

Hey, the Democrats gave me free stuff. I like free stuff.

15:06

That's good. And the people getting

15:08

screwed. The Democrats

15:11

are gambling, they will not understand

15:13

who it is is screwing them. And in fact,

15:16

the Democrats plan when it comes to California

15:18

is just demogogue their employers and say, your

15:20

mean old employer just hates

15:23

you, and that's why they laid you off, Not

15:25

because I the Democrat priced

15:28

you out of the market and made it impossible

15:30

for them to stay in business and pay you

15:32

the new wage I manded. Well, the same is true

15:35

with the higher price of home ownership, which

15:38

is the Democrats plan is they're

15:40

assuming a lot of the voters will

15:43

not connect the crazy

15:46

multi trillion dollar spending spree

15:48

that Joe Biden the Democrats went on with

15:51

the inflation and with the higher interest rates,

15:53

And in fact they'll do the same thing they

15:55

do with fast food. They will demagogue,

15:58

in this case the big back at homemakers,

16:00

the big bad banks that are making mortgages

16:03

because you know, it's just a bank being mean

16:05

that they're charging seven percent they really should

16:07

charge two percent. Never Mind, the Fed

16:10

has increased rates over and over and over and over

16:12

again because the Democrats have printed trillions

16:14

of dollars in new money.

16:17

What the Democrats are cynically planning

16:20

on is number one,

16:22

a fair number of voters being economically

16:24

illiterate, not understanding supply and demand,

16:27

not understanding who's to blame. And

16:31

number two, they want to contribute

16:33

to that by blaming people

16:35

who did not impose these policies.

16:38

And that's what we're seeing happening across the country.

16:41

Inflation we've just talked about is heavily

16:43

eroding our purchasing power

16:46

and putting your savings, your retirement

16:48

accounts, and your future legacy

16:50

at real risk. With more taxes,

16:53

the continuous threat of war, a national

16:55

debt now exceeding thirty four

16:57

trillion dollars, and the push for central

17:00

bank digital currencies, our financial

17:02

freedom is really at stake. That's

17:05

18:53

Senator, you mentioned China earlier,

18:55

and this.

18:56

Was some news that was broken.

18:58

My Fox News bmlusion does

19:01

one heck of a job reporting on what's actually

19:03

happening at the southern border, and

19:05

the new border patrol numbers are out,

19:07

specifically when it comes to the arrest of Chinese

19:10

nationals who cross the US

19:12

border illegally over the recent

19:15

years, and when you compare

19:17

what is happening now to what's happened in the past,

19:20

there is a clear Chinese

19:23

national explosion of

19:25

illegals coming across the border, and this administration

19:28

seems to not care at all.

19:30

No, that's exactly right. And I will say Bill Malujan

19:32

at Fox is doing an incredible job

19:34

reporting at the border. He is doing, frankly, the

19:36

best job of any reporter there is, and

19:39

most of the rest of the media doesn't

19:41

report at all. So CNN apparently

19:44

has no reporters. They don't report at the border crisis.

19:46

ABCNBCCBS, they have

19:48

no reporters, they don't report on the border crisis. NBC

19:50

actually hires no Republicans, no one who voted

19:52

for Donald Trump, so apparently their viewers

19:55

don't want to know what's happening at the border crisis. But let's

19:57

just look at the numbers FIS

20:00

school year twenty twenty one, do

20:02

you know how many Chinese nationals were

20:04

arrested crossing the border illegally?

20:06

How many?

20:07

Three hundred and forty two. So that's

20:09

look three hundred forty two. That's three hundred forty

20:12

two too many, but that sounds like a manageable

20:14

number. The next year, fiscal

20:16

year twenty twenty two, it goes from three hundred and forty

20:18

two to one thousand,

20:21

nine hundred and eighty seven. Now that's a big jump,

20:23

three hundred forty two to one thousand, nine hundred eighty

20:25

seven.

20:26

Wow.

20:26

Joe Biden came in office and suddenly instead

20:28

of three hundred and forty two, you have nearly

20:30

two thousand Chinese nationals. Big jump.

20:33

But even so, I'm not sure two thousand

20:35

Chinese nationals is crisis

20:38

level. Let's go to fiscal year

20:40

twenty twenty three. It goes

20:42

from one thousand, nine hundred and eighty seven.

20:44

Do you know where it goes? Next year twenty twenty three, where's

20:47

it go to twenty four

20:49

thousand, one hundred and twenty

20:51

five. Wow, So

20:55

it goes from less

20:57

than two thousand to twenty four

20:59

thousand and one and twenty five, And how about

21:01

fiscal year twenty twenty four. We're halfway

21:03

through fiscal year twenty twenty four,

21:06

so if we were on the same pace as

21:08

fiscal year twenty twenty three, which is twenty

21:10

four thousand, you'd expect halfway through about

21:13

twelve thousand, right, sure, you

21:15

know how much? How many have Chinese

21:18

nationals have been apprehended at the border in

21:20

the first six months of fiscal year twenty twenty

21:22

four.

21:23

I'm genuinely afraid, just because I've seen the other

21:25

numbers, and I'm assuming it's going to probably

21:27

even double what it's gonna end up looking like from last.

21:29

Year twenty two thousand, two

21:32

hundred and thirty three. By the way,

21:34

since this is halfway through the fiscal year, if you

21:36

double that, that means we're on pace

21:38

for forty four almost forty five

21:41

thousand Chinese nationals now

21:44

since fiscal year twenty twenty one.

21:47

That is a six thousand, three

21:49

hundred percent increase. Now,

21:52

last I checked, Ben and I don't

21:54

have a globe in front of me, so maybe I'm wrong, But

21:57

China is not immediately to our south, is it?

22:00

No, it is not.

22:02

It is really far away across

22:04

the Pacific Ocean, nowhere near

22:06

our southern border. And yet we've

22:09

got a massive invasion.

22:11

And by the way, I've been down at the border, I've

22:14

seen at the board. I was down in Brownsville last

22:16

year. When I was down in Brownsville, and

22:18

at the time, we were seeing a massive Chinese

22:21

influx coming across there. And most

22:23

of the Chinese nationals that were coming were

22:26

military age men. They were young

22:28

men, mostly in their twenties, some

22:31

in their thirties, young single men.

22:33

They didn't have wives, they didn't have kids, they were just

22:35

there. Now, the last I checked,

22:37

having fifty thousand military age

22:40

men from communist China

22:42

should be a big damn

22:45

deal.

22:45

And yet well, and the reason

22:47

why you say that so people understand is the

22:49

intelligence is overwhelming that

22:52

China does a really good job of getting spies

22:54

in this country. They also get a really good

22:56

they do a really good job of bringing in

22:58

people that are going to come in and still technologies

23:01

and still I mean countless.

23:04

China is the masters of stealing everything

23:06

that we do, and they

23:08

do this all over the world. But if you have

23:10

that many coming across, the question is what

23:13

are they offloading from this country?

23:15

What are they stealing when it comes

23:17

just to trades and secrets and manufacturing,

23:20

The list could go on and on.

23:22

Well, that's right, and those are the numbers

23:24

just of the arrests. You put

23:26

on top of that the god aways. So the

23:28

vast majority of people at the southern border come

23:31

and turn themselves in, They go look for a border

23:33

patrol agent. They turn themselves in

23:35

because they know Joe Biden and Kamala Harris

23:37

and the Democrats will let them stay. But

23:39

there's also a different group that

23:41

are called god aways, and they're the ones that don't turn

23:43

themselves in. They're the ones that we're

23:46

aware of. We see footprints, we see

23:48

them moving, but they get away. The

23:50

god Aways are the most dangerous group.

23:52

They are much more likely to be criminals.

23:54

They're much more likely to be murderers and

23:57

rapists and child molesters. They're much more

23:59

likely to be gang thirteen, and

24:01

they're much much much more likely to

24:03

be terrorist. If you're a Hamas

24:06

terrorists, if you're a hesbela terrorist, if you're coming

24:08

to try to commit mass murder in the United

24:11

States and you're on the terror watch

24:13

list, you're not likely to turn yourself into

24:15

the border patrol. You're going to be

24:17

or you're going to try to be a got away. Now

24:20

you know what Bill Malujin reported on April

24:22

first, How many got aways do

24:25

you think we're recorded at the border

24:28

the previous day on March

24:30

thirty first?

24:32

Give it to me. I gotta know.

24:34

Nine hundred and nineteen in one day, in

24:36

one single day. Now, those are

24:38

Goda ways we know of. By the way, there are additional

24:40

godaways we don't know of. The got

24:42

away measure is we're aware of them,

24:45

we have some indication they were there, but

24:47

they got away. So the real number

24:49

of people across the illegally who got away is

24:51

going to be substantially higher than nine hundred nineteen.

24:54

But those are the known god aways.

24:56

Do you know what the seven day average of

24:58

known god aways and non is important?

25:01

What is it?

25:02

Seven hundred and sixty one per

25:04

day? Good, every day, day

25:07

after day after day the seven day.

25:09

I know these numbers. They know these numbers.

25:11

These are from the Biden administration,

25:13

This is from Border Patrol. These are

25:16

their numbers. That's just the media doesn't report

25:18

on them. And so I want

25:20

you to think Hamas has

25:22

called for jahad against

25:25

the United States. Palestinian Islamic

25:27

Jahad has called for jahad against

25:29

the United States. Hesbelah has called

25:31

for jahad against the United States. The

25:33

Iranian Ayahtola has called for jahad

25:36

against the United States. Does

25:38

it give you comfort that

25:41

in the last week, seven hundred and sixty

25:44

one known god aways got away

25:46

day after day after day, and how many of

25:48

those were terrorists seeking to commit

25:50

mass murder in this country that Joe Biden

25:52

the Democrats do not care about

25:54

and are doing nothing to stop.

25:56

And the question I have for you sooner is is this

25:58

because illegal immigrants are

26:01

understanding that, hey, this window may close

26:03

if Joe Biden doesn't win reelection,

26:05

and so they're saying, hey, hurry up and get your tail here.

26:07

Because it seems to be the numbers, as you just describe

26:10

them, are increasing significantly.

26:13

In any country on Earth. If

26:15

you send fifty thousand of your nationals

26:18

to invade that country, that is an invasion,

26:21

and it's a military invasion. Well you know what we

26:23

just described. How on fiscal year twenty twenty

26:25

four, that's the pace China is on to

26:27

have sent fifty thousands of their nationals

26:29

to invade this country illegally, and

26:32

they are aided and embedded by Joe

26:34

Biden, the Democrats, who not only

26:36

are doing nothing to stop them, but are doing everything

26:39

they can to facilitate

26:41

their coming. When they show up, what

26:43

does Biden do? He lets them go, he lets

26:45

them stay. And so you know what you do if you're communist

26:48

China, you send even more.

26:50

It's incredible. And this is the threat, as

26:52

you described it, national security.

26:53

That's the thing that keeps me up.

26:55

And my final question for you in this is my

26:57

biggest concern is not is no longer than

27:00

the numbers that are coming in. My biggest

27:02

concern, Senator, is the number

27:04

of people that are coming in that are that are wanting

27:07

to do harm to this country. And

27:09

I'm talking about terrorists

27:11

coming into this country. We have no idea who's

27:14

getting into this country right now.

27:15

Ben I've said this many times and it makes

27:18

me sad to say it, but I

27:20

think we have the greatest risk of a

27:22

major terrorist attack right now that

27:25

we have had at any point since September

27:27

eleventh, two thousand and one. And

27:30

sadly, I believe we are

27:32

living on borrow time that it's only a

27:34

matter of time when you have

27:37

feckless democrats open up

27:39

our border to this invasion day after

27:42

day after day, week after week, month

27:44

after month, year after year. The

27:46

volumes are getting so great that it

27:48

is inevitable that

27:50

that that that Americans are going to.

27:52

Lose their lives.

27:53

We've already seen the victims

27:55

of crimes because Joe Biden released

27:58

murderers, released rapists, for East

28:00

child molesters, released vicious

28:02

criminals into this country. It is releasing them

28:05

every day. We've already seen those

28:07

body bags tragically piling

28:09

up, and I tremble

28:12

to think about when terrorism kicks

28:15

in and those body bags.

28:18

I hope and pray this is not the case,

28:21

but they could well increase dramatically.

28:24

And every day that goes by that you let

28:26

more and more potential terrorists in this country,

28:29

the odds of those attacks go up.

28:31

Yeah.

28:31

And we know for a fact we're letting terrorists in because

28:33

we're catching some of them and many of them that are on the

28:36

terrorist watch lists. A record

28:38

number in the last three months of the fiscal year. We're

28:41

proof of that that we just witness and that's

28:43

coming from the Biden administration. I

28:45

want to ask you a question real quick. If you're listening

28:48

right now, how mad would you be if I told

28:50

you that you were making donations

28:52

to Planned Parenthood every month? How

28:54

mad would you be if I told you were giving donations

28:57

to democratic causes and candidates

28:59

nation. Well, if you're

29:01

a Big Mobile, that's exactly what you

29:03

are doing. You may not realize it, but they

29:06

take your bill when you pay that bill,

29:08

and they are giving huge donations

29:11

to hardcore leftist causes,

29:13

organizations, candidates,

29:15

including Plan Parenthood.

29:18

That is why I want you to know about

29:21

Patriot Mobile. Patriot

29:23

Mobile is the only conservative

29:25

Christian cell phone provider in the nation.

29:28

They've been doing it for over ten

29:30

years, and they got started because they were sick

29:32

and tired of what Big Mobile

29:35

was doing. Now, look, I switched to Patriot

29:37

Mobile, and I can tell you the coverage

29:39

is amazing. Now, that's the number

29:42

one reason why people actually don't

29:44

make the switch. They're afraid their coverage isn't going

29:46

to be good.

29:46

Well, guess what.

29:47

Patriot Mobile uses the same three

29:50

networks that the big guys use,

29:52

and that means you get the same coverage

29:55

that you're used to right now without

29:58

funding the wokes left agenda.

30:01

I want you to take a look at Patriot Mobile because

30:03

when you pay your bill every month at no extra

30:05

cost to you, they actually take about

30:07

five percent of that bill and give it back to conservative

30:10

causes that support the sanctity

30:12

of life, support freedom of speech, or Second

30:15

Amendment that support conservative

30:17

causes and organizations. That

30:20

is why I love Patriot Mobile. It's

30:22

why I'm proud to be partnering with them, and it's

30:24

why I have Patriot Mobile as

30:26

my provider. So check

30:28

them out. Nine to seven

30:30

to two Patriot is the number. That's

30:32

30:54

Make a switch and make a difference with every

31:00

want to talk about our RFK or

31:03

CNN decide to have him on, and

31:06

they thought they were giving him a

31:08

softball question that was going to be easy,

31:11

and he's going to rip on Donald Trump. Tee

31:13

it up from there because it didn't go the

31:15

way they thought it was going.

31:16

To go at all.

31:18

Well, that's exactly right. CNN tossed

31:20

to RFK juniors

31:22

a question that they thought RFK would

31:24

say, Oh, yes, Trump is clearly the

31:27

manifest threat to democracy, and so you

31:29

really should vote for job Iiden instead. Well,

31:32

RFK did not play along and listen

31:34

to this exchange because CNN was

31:36

astonished at what RFK had to say.

31:39

I sent too many issues. While I admire

31:41

his high minded ideals, his suggestion that there's no difference

31:43

between mister Ware and mister Bush is irresponsible.

31:46

A moment ago, you said, you you essentially

31:49

see Trump and Biden as saying different

31:51

different issues. But do you really believe that when people

31:54

talk about the threat to democracy that Trump

31:56

poses, do you really think that that is is

31:58

an equal Yeah, mull.

32:00

Biden, listen. I can make

32:03

the argument that President

32:05

Biden is a much worse threat to democracy.

32:08

And the reason for that is President Biden is

32:10

the first candidate in history, the first president

32:13

in the history, that has

32:15

used the federal agencies to censor

32:18

political speech. So the censor's opponent,

32:20

I, you know, I can say that because I just want

32:22

a case in the Federal Court of Appeals

32:24

and now before the Supreme Court. It

32:26

shows that he started censoring not

32:29

just me, for thirty seven hours after

32:31

he took the other office, he was censoring me. No

32:33

president in the country has ever done that. The

32:35

greatest threat democracy

32:38

is not somebody who questions election returns,

32:40

but a president of the United States who used the power

32:42

of his office to force the

32:45

social media companies Facebook,

32:47

Instagram, Twitter to

32:49

open a portal and give the access to

32:51

that portal to.

32:52

The FBI, the CIA, the

32:54

IRS.

32:55

De SISA, the NIH to

32:57

censor his political critics. Because

33:00

in Biden, for the first first president

33:02

in history, used the secret his power

33:04

over the Secret Service to deny

33:07

Secret Service protection to one

33:09

of his political opponents for political

33:11

reasons. He's weaponizing a

33:13

federal agencies. Those are really

33:16

critical threats.

33:18

Tried to overturn a free and fair

33:20

election. He tried to overturn

33:22

one. Right, is he still finding how

33:24

is that not a threat

33:27

to democracy?

33:28

Well, I think that is a threat

33:30

to democracy. Him

33:32

over for trying to overthrow the election clearly

33:35

is the threat democracy. But the question

33:37

was who is the worse

33:39

threat to democracy? And what I would

33:41

say is, you know, I'm not going to answer

33:43

that question, but I can argue that President

33:45

Biden is because the First Amendment,

33:48

Aaron is the most important. But Adams

33:50

and Hamilton and Madison said, we

33:53

put the guarantee of freedom expression in

33:55

the First Amendment because all of our other constitutional

33:58

sides depend on it. If you ever go the

34:01

can silence its opponent, it

34:03

has license for any atrocity.

34:05

So, just to be clear, you're saying you could make an argument

34:07

that President Biden is a worse threat to democracy than

34:10

you.

34:10

Listen to that senator and it's like

34:13

they're like, well, hold on, this

34:15

is not what you're supposed to say. This is not you

34:18

were supposed to say Donald Trump orange Man's

34:20

bad and a threat to democracy.

34:22

Obviously you weren't supposed to say Joe

34:25

Biden's actually a bigger threat.

34:27

And by the way, explain exactly how

34:29

he.

34:29

Is warning Will Robinson,

34:31

warning Will Robinson, danger danger,

34:33

danger aboard, run away, run away. That's

34:36

what CNN is saying. They're losing their minds.

34:38

No, know that that's not the message. The

34:40

only message we allow on CNN is

34:42

Trump bad, Trump bad, Trump bad. You're RFK

34:45

JR. Your dad was RFK, your

34:47

uncle was JFK. You're supposed

34:49

to echo our message Trump, orange

34:51

man bad, orange man bad. Look.

34:55

I got to say listening to that, I agree

34:57

with every single word. Robert F.

34:59

Kenn said right there,

35:02

when it comes to a threat to democracy,

35:05

number one, Joe Biden and for that matter,

35:07

congressional Democrats are perfectly

35:09

happy to use government power and

35:12

big tech to censor you, to silence

35:14

you, to prevent you from engaging

35:17

in political speech, to prevent you from disagreeing

35:19

with them. They want to use force to silence

35:21

you. Secondly, he pointed out, Joe

35:23

Biden is disgracefully denying

35:26

Robert F. Kennedy Junior Secret Service protection

35:29

that despite the fact that he is clearly

35:31

pulling at the thresholds

35:33

that would bearret that protection, that he

35:36

is facing significant threats

35:38

of political violence against him,

35:40

and the tragic family

35:43

history. His father was assassinated

35:45

when he was running for president, his uncle was

35:48

assassinated when he was president, and

35:50

Joe Biden and the Democrats are cynical

35:52

enough that they're willing to risk well,

35:55

okay, if R. Fk Junior gets assassinated,

35:57

that's a risk Joe Biden's willing to take. It is

35:59

just dis graceful, and we've we've called

36:02

that out on this on this podcast. Before

36:04

that, of course, Joe Biden

36:06

should give our FK Secret Service protection.

36:08

That's following the law, that is

36:11

consistent with the law, it's consistent with precedent,

36:13

and the only reason not to

36:17

is pure partisan politics. Let me

36:19

say something else. Look, I have conversations

36:21

with people all the time. I have conversations

36:24

with people today where

36:26

they make comments about, Gosh, I'm

36:28

worried if Trump wins. He's an authoritarian,

36:31

he's a dictator. I'm worried what he

36:33

will do. And you know, my standard

36:35

response is is listen, I understand that. And

36:38

sometimes Trump has

36:40

rhetoric that can be

36:43

used to suggest that.

36:46

Uh.

36:46

That being said, we don't have to hypothesize

36:50

what Trump will do as president.

36:52

He was president for four years and

36:55

if you look at the time he was president,

36:58

he didn't abuse his power. He followed

37:00

the law. If you look at the policies he

37:02

implemented, and I worked hand in hand with Donald

37:05

Trump, the policies he implemented

37:07

worked. We saw the lowest unemployment race

37:09

in fifty years. We saw the lowest African

37:11

American unemployment ever recorded. We saw

37:13

the lowest Hispanic unemployment ever

37:16

recorded. We saw peace and prosperity.

37:18

We saw the border secured, we

37:20

saw peace breaking out in the Middle

37:22

East, and the Abraham Accords. All of that played

37:24

out. And if you look at what Trump did,

37:26

he didn't defy the law. He didn't ignore the

37:28

law. He didn't issue lawless executive orders.

37:31

He followed the law. Now, he demonstrated

37:33

courage. He made decisions that were bold,

37:36

but they were within the law. Contrast

37:39

that to Joe Biden. Joe

37:41

Biden, number one is responsible

37:43

for profoundly politicizing the Department of Justice

37:45

of the FBI. Number two is responsible

37:48

for the greatest assault on democracy

37:50

we've ever seen, which is the four

37:52

indictments of Donald Trump, the abuse

37:54

of the legal process design.

37:58

Mind you, Trump is not the target, voters

38:00

of the target. They're terrified the

38:02

voters will vote for Trump, and they're trying

38:04

to prosecute for the first time in history,

38:06

and the second time in history, and the third time in history,

38:09

and the fourth time in history, a former

38:11

president and a leading presidential

38:13

candidate because they want to

38:15

stop democracy from playing out. To be clear,

38:18

also, these are the same Democrats

38:20

that in Colorado, in Illinois

38:22

and Maine threw Donald Trump

38:24

off the ballot because you know. Nothing says defending

38:26

democracy like stopping the damn voters

38:29

from voting for the person you don't want them to. This

38:32

is Democrats. And let's be clear also, Joe

38:35

Biden when it comes

38:37

to being a dictator to being lawless.

38:40

Look at what he's doing on the southern border. He's utterly

38:42

ignoring federal immigration law. He's

38:44

releasing people into this country. He's releasing

38:46

criminals into this country. He's endangering

38:48

this country ten point four million illegal

38:50

immigrants. It is lawless. No president

38:53

has ever done this. Barack Obama

38:55

didn't do this. Bill Clinton didn't

38:58

do this, Jimmy Carter didn't do this. Only Joe

39:00

Biden is brazenly lawless.

39:02

Let's be clear also when it came

39:04

to student loans, Joe Biden

39:07

trying to buy votes, tried to give away trillion

39:09

dollars, a trillion dollars just in

39:11

an effort to buy votes and win elections. Now,

39:13

a president can't give away a trillion dollars

39:16

without Congress passing legislation to

39:18

do so. Joe Biden knows that the lawyers of

39:20

his administration know that they

39:22

didn't care. They wanted to lawlessly be

39:25

political, and so of course what happened

39:27

to The Supreme Court struck it down and

39:29

said, no, the president doesn't have the ability

39:31

to give away a trillion dollars just to buy votes.

39:33

By the way, same thing happened with COVID

39:35

vaccine mandates, utterly lawless, abusive,

39:38

trying to force people to get COVID vaccines.

39:40

The president had no authority to do it. Biden

39:43

administration did so anyway, what happened

39:45

The Supreme Court struck it down, said this

39:47

is lawless, this is not the federal

39:49

law. You look at who actually

39:53

has been lawless and

39:55

dictatorial, And I agree with RFK,

39:58

there's a powerful argument. Bit the answer

40:00

to that is Joe Biden and not Downald

40:02

Donald J. Trump. And that makes CNN and every

40:04

other corporate media entity

40:07

their heads explode.

40:08

Yeah, it was.

40:09

It was quite hysterical to listen

40:11

to that audio. Don't forget Senator Cruise

40:14

40:16
