Dems’ Message ＂Impeach Everything First! Govern Later？＂, What Happens AFTER Protect College Sports Act Passes & Tallarico Heads to Center, then Doubles Back Week In Review
00:02:43.980Week in Review, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:02:46.120And here are the stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
00:02:49.360First up, we're less than five weeks out from the midterms, and Democrats are making it clear this election they want to be about lawfare, impeaching Donald Trump, and coming after anyone in his orbit.
00:03:00.340We break it down exactly what they're saying to voters.
00:03:03.620Up next, what happens after the passage of the massive new college sports bill in the Senate?
00:03:09.520And will it become law by the end of the year?
00:03:20.600The new Tallarico wants you to believe he's meek and mild.
00:03:23.740But the reality is what he said for years is extreme.
00:03:27.900And now his own party is calling him out and saying he better do what he used to do if he wins.
00:03:34.100It's the Week in Review, and it starts right now.
00:03:37.380All right, Senators, so let's get into this.
00:03:38.900Five weeks out, I look at these poll numbers, and it's tight.
00:03:42.540I think you and I have both looked at them,
00:03:44.460And it's not exactly where anyone was hoping on the conservative side of things we would be at this moment in time going into the midterms.
00:03:50.860But there's also this new kind of mantra coming from the left, which is, hey, if we get power, we will go after Donald Trump and impeach him.
00:04:01.060Also, cabinet members. Also, we'll go after family. We'll go after other conservatives.
00:04:04.960Like it is pure warfare, lawfare, whatever you want to call it, congressional lawfare yet again.0.96
00:04:10.920And that's what now the Democrats are closing argument to the American people is vote for us because we'll go lock people up.
00:04:16.940Well, that's exactly right, because that's what animates and unifies their party is hatred for Donald Trump.
00:04:23.120Here, I want you to listen to Representative Ro Khanna, a Democrat, very, very wealthy tech Democrat, used to portray himself as moderate, but now is running hard, hard left because he's got presidential ambitions.
00:04:34.380I want to listen. Listen to him being asked if it's true that that their objective is just impeach Trump.
00:04:41.760Listen, is impeaching President Trump a third time a mistake for Democrats?
00:04:48.680No, it's not because it's not about Donald Trump.0.96
00:04:51.340He's going to be a lame duck and in my view, largely increasingly irrelevant.0.96
00:04:57.200The point is to stand up for the Constitution.0.82
00:05:00.000impeachment says that you can't get into an illegal war in iran without constitutional
00:05:06.440approval impeachment says that you can't just start firing federal employees when uh in defiance
00:05:13.320of what congress says impeachment says you can't do deals with foreign governments uh to allegedly
00:05:19.140enrich your own family it's about setting a standard and the democrats can impeach to to
00:05:25.420uphold constitutional values and at the same time have a first hundred day agenda that deals with
00:05:30.460the cost of living notice it's it's not really about you it's about it's about warfare and
00:05:37.160political warfare and oh absolutely we're going to go down this road yeah then we'll get to the
00:05:40.580economy and other things later but really this is about attacking anyone that helped trump and
00:05:44.420trump and his cabinet so no one will want to serve their country look trump derangement syndrome is
00:05:49.960alive and well they are animated their their sole goal in life it seems is hatred of trump
00:05:55.380But actually, that's not true. They also want radical policies that would destroy America.
00:06:00.580Here, I want you to listen to Democrat Tom Swoozie, who is another one who pretends he's a moderate.
00:06:05.200But listen to what he says his number one objective is if Democrats take power.
00:06:11.380My number one issue is to try and get a resolution on immigration.
00:06:18.740My biggest desire, my biggest goal of what I want to accomplish in politics right now
00:06:24.220is I want to legalize seven or eight or nine or 10 million people in our country
00:06:29.880so they will not be subject to deportation.
00:06:33.560Well, at least they're being honest about it.
00:06:35.460Hey, Americans, you're not our priority.1.00
00:06:37.820Illegal immigrants, you are our priority.1.00
00:06:40.640And just understand, if you're an American suffering right now, we don't really care.1.00
00:06:44.700If you're someone that has issues and you have a U.S. passport, we don't really care.
00:06:50.480It's the illegals that we're here to protect and defend and to honor first and foremost.
00:06:55.260Now, look, this is striking because Tom Swoosey is in a potential swing district in New York,
00:07:00.460and he's echoing the very same message that you remember Chris Murphy a year or two said on TV,
00:07:06.180and it was widely perceived as a gaffe.
00:07:08.420But listen to Chris Murphy on MSNBC explaining what his number one priority is.
00:07:13.580the negotiation didn't have a path to citizenship it was entirely on their terms in order to get
00:07:20.920ukraine fun right well i mean chris that's been a failed play for 20 years so you are right that
00:07:28.300that has been the democratic strategy for 30 years maybe uh and it has failed to deliver
00:07:34.580for the people we care about most the undocumented americans that are in this country
00:07:40.360well there you heard it uh chris murphy in his own words he describes he's speaking about
00:07:46.580democrats as a party he describes quote the people we care about most and then he calls them
00:07:53.340the undocumented americans by which he means illegal immigrants and and and he's not he's
00:07:58.780not saying they care about him he said they are the people they care about most illegal immigrants
00:08:03.640they care about it more than you more than u.s citizens more than your kids that's why democrat
00:08:08.680Tom Swoozie is saying his biggest goal, his number one goal, is to grant amnesty to seven or eight or
00:08:16.560nine or ten million people in our country. That's their number one goal. It is to attack President
00:08:22.180Trump, and it is to fight for illegal immigrants. That's their priority. And it's one of the reasons0.99
00:08:27.960why, as lousy as the poll numbers are looking for Republicans right now, Democrats have a problem
00:08:34.980too. Listen to Mark Kelly getting confronted with this on ABC. That is that only 34% of people think
00:08:41.940the Democratic Party cares about people like them. What does that tell you? What do you do about it
00:08:50.160if people just aren't feeling it from the Democrats, if you're sort of a default or people
00:08:54.860stay away from the race? Well, I'll tell you what I'm doing about it. I've been traveling across the
00:09:00.000country uh basically non-stop for the last six months i've been in new hampshire and ohio kansas
00:09:07.820missouri iowa georgia south carolina meeting with people i've also been all over arizona i was just
00:09:14.280up on the navajo nation a couple weeks ago for the navajo parade and just talking to people and
00:09:21.040trying to understand their challenges in their homes in their schools in their communities
00:09:27.300you listen to that and it's just truly not about americans first at all well and and when even abc
00:09:36.220is going at and pointing out that the poll numbers show that only 34 percent of americans
00:09:41.680think democrats care about quote people like them and there's a reason for that the democrats are
00:09:48.500telling you who they care about the people they care about most are illegal immigrants look if0.90
00:09:53.460you're an illegal immigrant, I guess that should make you really happy. That's your party. That's0.97
00:09:57.340who they're fighting for. You know, he also left out gangbangers and criminals and murderers and
00:10:04.500child molesters and rapists. And that clearly is who they care about most as well, because when
00:10:09.060they get in power, that's who they let go. That's who they refuse to arrest. That's who they empty
00:10:13.800the jails from. That's who they release into the communities. So they care about attacking Trump.0.97
00:10:19.460they care about illegal immigrants, they care about criminals, but they also fundamentally0.90
00:10:26.140care about this is the Green-Red Alliance, this is communism and Islamism coming together.0.91
00:10:32.360And to be clear, that is not limited to Manhattan. It is not just Comrade Mondami in New York.0.89
00:10:38.740They plan to bring this to your neighborhood, to your town, to your state. They plan to bring it
00:10:43.760to the whole country. Listen to Comrade Mondami talking about socialism for all of America.
00:10:49.460The thing is, other Democrats are concerned. Not everybody believes that America is ready on a national level to necessarily elect people who are on the left. Will it translate on a national level? And will the midterms not just be a referendum on Trump, but a referendum on the democratic socialists of America?
00:11:12.080I think this will absolutely translate on a national level.
00:11:15.080And the reason that I believe that is, while we are an exceptional city,
00:11:18.520as the greatest city in the world, we also know that the struggles that New Yorkers are facing
00:11:22.520are the struggles that working class Americans are facing across the country.
00:11:26.280I often say that there's only one majority in this country.
00:11:28.760It's the working class and their inability to afford housing, child care, even public transit.
00:11:34.640That is something that goes beyond any one city.
00:11:37.520senator beyond any one city that's his message look this is their nationwide agenda they want
00:11:46.300to bring socialism to you and by the way what comrade mandami did there is what communists
00:11:51.360and and and socialists always do which is they say they're fighting for the working man which
00:11:55.560is what he said but then you look at their policies and their policies always always always
00:12:00.640hurt the working men and and and if you look at it this is true in communist countries across the
00:12:07.280world whether the soviet union or china or cuba or venezuela or nicaragua or north korea
00:12:14.740whenever you have socialism implemented and socialism is the economic system of communism0.79
00:12:20.540and these whenever they implement their policies working men and women pay the price they have
00:12:29.280poverty they have shortages they have their standard of living goes goes down understand
00:12:35.000the democrats it's ironic he used use the phrase working men because he doesn't actually want
00:12:41.600people to work he wants to pay people not to work if you're working he wants to tax the hell out of
00:12:46.500you if you own a small business he wants to destroy your small business and yet this message is is
00:12:52.800getting real traction brand new polling that came from gallup i'm going to read from from new york
00:12:57.660post, Americans are embracing socialism at record levels as popularity tops 40% for the first time
00:13:04.780since 2010. A record number of Americans now have a positive view of socialism, with almost half
00:13:11.060admitting they embrace the far-left ideology, according to an eye-opening survey. 43% of
00:13:18.540Americans said they feel optimistic about socialism, the new Gallup poll released Wednesday
00:13:24.440revealed. It marks the first time this figure has topped 40 percent in Gallup's trend since 2010.
00:13:32.400At the same time, economic concepts like free enterprise, big business, and capitalism have
00:13:38.140slipped in public favorability. The surge in popularity was driven, surprisingly, by independence,
00:13:45.180with 45 percent of this group reporting a positive view of socialism, up from 37 percent last year.
00:13:52.740Now, that's highly troubling that independence went from 37% thinking socialism was a good idea to 45%.
00:30:02.860Every week, we use exclusive next-gen stats insights and NFL content to break down the biggest stories, matchups, and moments from around the league.
00:30:12.100We go beyond the box score to uncover the numbers, the tendencies, and details that help explain what actually happened on the field.
00:35:06.060is that in america or just around the world that's in america no no they're selling these
00:35:09.900in america they make them there and i mean these are you know big monster yeah you know they're
00:35:14.500huge you know the peter belts and and and they were very cool and the workers there i i gotta
00:35:19.860say that the workers there they love trump and so we started by he's visiting with a number of
00:35:25.760workers and shaking their hands and i'm visiting with them and and look those are my peeps i have
00:35:30.120like, like, like that's his base and my base have a very strong overlap. Yeah. Uh, but you know,
00:35:36.540they're thrilled to meet him and they're shaking his hand. Uh, and then I actually several times
00:35:40.880said, here, give me your phone. And I would take a picture of them with, with the president on
00:35:44.240their phone, which, which made them really happy. Uh, but watching the love that, that those
00:35:51.280factory workers have for the president is really amazing. We were there with the CEO.
00:35:57.180The CEO said that the plant was booming, that they were having their best year because of the president's economic policies.
00:36:04.500And look, the president's whole message at the rally was we have incredible economic numbers and the media is lying to the voters and telling everyone the economy is lousy.
00:36:15.800And you and I have covered on this podcast.
00:36:17.460Look, just this last month, the data came out that we have right now the highest family income ever recorded.
00:36:27.260Median income is the highest it's ever been recorded in the history of America.
00:36:31.140We also have the lowest poverty rate that has ever been recorded in the history of America.
00:36:38.340that includes the lowest African-American poverty rate, the lowest Hispanic poverty rate,
00:36:44.340and the lowest Native American poverty rate ever recorded in the history of the country. And the
00:36:48.980media doesn't talk about any of that. They don't want you to know any of that. And so the president
00:36:52.780is frustrated. He's visibly frustrated. He was venting on Air Force One. And at the rally,
00:36:58.020he's speaking to the rally and he's saying, look, you look at these numbers, we're doing
00:37:01.400really, really well. But the media is trying to convince people, well, it's terrible. It's
00:37:08.280terrible affordability, and they say gas prices, and the president rightly pointed out, yes, gas1.00
00:37:13.240prices are higher because we're taking out an Ayatollah and stopping Iran from getting a nuclear
00:37:19.180weapon, but gas prices are still a lot lower than they were under Joe Biden, and he made that point,0.96
00:37:24.660and that point is right. So that was really important for him to make, and then he was also,
00:37:31.120Ken Paxton was there at the rally, and Ken got a good chair, and he was urging people, you got to
00:37:35.600come out and vote for Ken Paxton. He was giving Ken a lot of love. He was also, you know, he was
00:37:43.040also emphasizing, look, Tallarico is extreme. This guy is radical and he would be incredibly
00:37:52.200dangerous. And I think that is valuable for people to know just how far out of step from
00:37:58.080the mainstream Tallarico is that he is a left-wing radical. Yeah. Yeah. Not only is he a left-wing
00:38:04.100radical, but this race has obviously caught the attention of a lot of Democratic donors. A lot of
00:38:08.780his money's coming in from out of state, and that's what's funny. And by the way, there's a
00:38:12.880trend there as well, and that's one of the reasons why this race has gotten so expensive.0.98
00:38:16.940Yeah, no, no. I mean, it has been a massively expensive race, and Tallarico has money flooding
00:38:22.720in from New York, from California, from Hollywood. They want to elect a woke left-wing radical from
00:38:30.800Texas in particular. And by the way, to understand who he is, look, we've talked a lot about Hassan
00:38:35.620Piker, the radical, Islamist, communist, America-hating zealot. You know, the guy who says,
00:38:42.800among other things, America deserved 9-11. Hassan Piker has become, Abdul Al-Sayed does not win
00:38:50.480his primary without campaigning alongside Hassan Piker. The Democrats are not running away from
00:38:56.000this guy well piker was in texas this past week and and he had a message for talarico and all of
00:39:02.080his supporters give a listen to what hassan piker said about james talarico hopefully inshallah
00:39:08.480after james talarico wins okay yeah after i'm not allowed i feel like i shouldn't even say that i
00:39:16.220feel like in the state of texas no sharia state they're gonna they're gonna throw me in prison
00:39:20.680um but yeah hopefully after uh james tellerick wins we got to hold him to account we got to make
00:39:27.840sure that he doesn't become another do nothing democrat business as usual and we got to keep up
00:39:34.600that pressure uh and and we have to remind him that we are the force that backed him both early
00:39:41.820on and we are the force that allowed him to win this seat of power and if he wants to maintain it
00:39:48.000he's got to play ball if he wants to maintain it senator he's just got to play ball
00:39:52.680well look Hassan Piker I'm going to give him credit for being honest there I mean he starts
00:39:57.440by saying hopefully inshallah James Tallarica wins now inshallah is Arabic for if God is willing
00:40:05.040and and Piker is an open Islamist and and and he is he is saying the Islamists the radicals
00:40:13.040they're the ones who who elected James Tallarico they're the ones who helped him win the primary
00:40:19.840they're the ones who put him in power and he they will he will owe them if he's elected that tells
00:40:26.000you where this guy is I mean Piker understands this is our guy and and Tallarico and Abdul Al-Sayed
00:40:32.340are the two most radical senate candidates in the country and Piker is critical to both of them by
00:40:39.140the way, I don't think there's any chance that Tallarica would forget where he comes from,
00:40:44.660because he's a true believer. He believes this nonsense. I mean, he was really raised and grew
00:40:51.780up in this sort of woke DEI, social justice warrior nonsense. And now that he's running,
00:40:59.400he's trying to pretend to moderate, but he's lying and he's not very good at it. So he keeps
00:41:04.580getting caught lying. So he went on Fox News and he said now he no longer supports mutilating and
00:41:13.540sterilizing kids who think they're transgender. He no longer supports that. He's abandoned that
00:41:17.940position because, you know, it turns out Texans don't like mutilating and sterilizing kids.0.99
00:41:24.760Except for one problem. Well, two problems. One, Tallarico has a long record of voting for that
00:41:29.620over and over again, so that's his long-standing position, but two, he was actually caught on
00:41:35.180camera admitting that his position hasn't changed, so give a listen. This is an undercover
00:41:38.900camera that caught him admitting that he's lying when he says he no longer wants to sterilize kids.
00:42:46.500So when he went on Fox News Channel with the mea culpa, that was that was a lie, right?
00:42:50.520That was just all a big lie. He was flat out lying.
00:42:52.480And by the way, this undercover camera was on September 13th.
00:42:55.460So that was just a couple of weeks ago that he was caught in camera saying, oh, no, no, no.
00:42:58.600My views haven't changed. I'm still for operating and sterilizing kids.0.96
00:43:04.460And I'm still for boys and girls sports and men, men and women's sports.
00:43:07.880I mean, that's what he's urging. Nothing has changed.
00:43:10.660I'm just having to lie to the voters because I think I can dupe them.
00:43:13.680You know, there also is footage showing one of his field organizers talking about how Tallarico's views are much more anti-Israel than he's admitted publicly.
00:43:27.920Give a listen to this radical field organizer working for Tallarico.
00:43:32.920person is also a Marxist, but works for the campaign. I completely understand. Most of
00:43:41.780my co-workers are also that part. So we get it. It's more so the thing of like, I guess
00:43:48.520like a vehicle, kind of, because we're trying to lift this right seat. So basically he stands
00:43:55.180I'm just glad she's wearing the Tallarico shirt at the campaign headquarters
00:44:14.240and is saying, we're a bunch of Marxists.
