00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.540 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.440 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.700 Senator, it is the coronation week, a week apparently of joy, quote unquote.
00:00:15.680 That's the word everyone in the media is using to describe Kamala Harris and the Democrats' big week in primetime with their convention.
00:00:23.720 Well, the DNC coronation is here.
00:00:26.060 We're going to have a week of propaganda, a week of singing the praises of Kamala Harris, a week of applauding.
00:00:33.900 So get ready. Joe Biden is about to be feeded as the second incarnation of FDR, the wonderful grand old grandfather who they just took out behind the alley and shot.
00:00:47.140 But they're nonetheless going to stand. I'm going to predict a long standing ovation for Joe Biden.
00:00:54.140 Long. And he's going to stop. And there's going to be a moment where he hugs Jill.
00:00:59.240 And then there's going to be a moment where Kamala comes out and hugs him.
00:01:03.840 And they're going to make it. They're going to try to pull every ounce of poignancy they can.
00:01:11.560 And then every other moment is going to be saying happy days are here again.
00:01:17.780 Joy, joy, joy. By the way, there is no border crisis. There is no inflation.
00:01:22.440 There is no crime. There is no war. It's just joy, joy, joy.
00:01:27.560 That's what this week is going to be.
00:01:29.440 Yeah. And there's also a civil war breaking out with a lot of the attendees that are going to be outside of the convention in Chicago.
00:01:35.940 We're going to break that down for you as well.
00:01:38.540 Let me tell you, this week is going to be a very interesting week.
00:01:41.280 And you should pay attention to how many corporate entities are all in for the Democrats at the DNC convention.
00:01:49.460 And I say that because it's time that you start voting with your dollars.
00:01:52.320 And in one category in particular, you're spending money every month on a cell phone bill.
00:01:57.620 Well, did you know that if you're with Big Mobile, you're supporting Democratic causes, candidates and organizations,
00:02:03.940 even organizations that are advocating, supporting and paying for abortions.
00:02:08.820 That is why I want you to know about Patriot Mobile.
00:02:11.820 Now, I'm proud to say I use Patriot Mobile.
00:02:14.100 I'm proud to say I partner with them because they're on the front lines fighting for our First and our Second Amendment rights.
00:02:20.180 They're fighting for the sanctity of life and they stand with our military, our veterans, our wounded warriors and our first responder heroes.
00:02:28.280 How do they do that?
00:02:29.320 They do it by taking about 5% of your bill every month and they give it back to conservative causes that put America first.
00:02:36.320 And that's how you have a difference, making a difference every single month by switching to Patriot Mobile.
00:02:42.680 You're going to get the same nationwide coverage of the other big providers because guess what?

00:02:59.820 So they're going to make switching easy.

00:03:49.940 Senator, there is propaganda and then there's next level propaganda.
00:03:53.640 You could witness it going into the convention today and it was all over the headlines.
00:04:01.380 New York Times, Harris used to worry about laughing.
00:04:05.680 Now joy is fueling her campaign. 0.54
00:04:08.860 Vandy Fair, sweet emotion.
00:04:10.600 How the Harris-Walls ticket wields joy against Donald Trump.
00:04:15.860 The Washington Post this weekend, Harris and Wall sees joyful message in contrast to darker Trump themes.
00:04:24.300 And even the Associated Press got in on the action.
00:04:27.440 Harris is pushing joy.
00:04:30.860 Trump paints a darker picture.
00:04:33.420 Will mismatched moods matter?
00:04:36.180 This is propaganda.
00:04:38.100 They all got the word they were supposed to use.
00:04:40.300 You know, Donald Trump's Darth Vader.
00:04:43.360 She's all, you know, rainbows and sunshine going into the Democratic convention. 0.56
00:04:49.060 Well, when you've got a candidate who has a nervous tick, whenever she's stuck on something, she just starts laughing hysterically.
00:04:55.940 It's her response, even if a laugh is inappropriate.
00:04:59.100 So, look, I will give, I suppose, a tiny bit of credit to the Democrat message spinners.
00:05:04.380 They're like, all right, if she laughs all the time, I guess she could be Jack Nicholson in Batman.
00:05:09.280 She could be the Joker. 0.82
00:05:10.640 Or maybe, let's just say she's joyful.
00:05:13.460 Let's just say joy, joy, joy.
00:05:15.800 And then, look, the relationship, it's important to understand, the media are no longer third parties reporting on what the campaign does.
00:05:25.480 The corporate media is the campaign.
00:05:28.180 They are the left wing of the Democrat Party.
00:05:30.000 Recall, let's go back 11 months ago, 11 months ago on this podcast, you and I predicted that the Democrats would throw Joe Biden off the ballot.
00:05:38.860 And remember why we did that.
00:05:40.140 We didn't just say that randomly.
00:05:41.960 We said that in significant part because the media had started getting wobbly on Biden.
00:05:48.380 They had started floating the trial balloons.
00:05:50.620 They'd started the effort to push him out.
00:05:52.940 It began with the media, and so once they decide joy is the message, every one of them echoes it, and none of them pretends to actually be reporting independently.
00:06:06.200 Mind you, this is the same media that is utterly docile that Kamala Harris does no media interviews. 1.00
00:06:13.860 They literally earned their living, theoretically, covering news, getting big interviews.
00:06:19.620 She's telling all of them.
00:06:20.680 She's making them a joke.
00:06:21.620 Nope, nope, you don't get to interview.
00:06:23.880 And they're just fine with it because you know what?
00:06:27.400 Kamala Harris is doing the Joe Biden basement strategy.
00:06:30.620 Her strategy is say nothing, do no interviews, do no press conferences, answer no difficult questions, stand up at a rally and read a teleprompter. 0.99
00:06:41.780 And by the way, read word for word the exact same thing from the teleprompter over and over and over again.
00:06:48.560 Do exactly what your team has scripted.
00:06:50.540 Leave immediately.
00:06:51.380 Don't ad-lib anything.
00:06:52.500 For God's sakes, don't laugh anymore.
00:06:54.740 And turn around, rinse and repeat.
00:06:57.300 That is their strategy, and their strategy is let the corporate media carry the message.
00:07:03.140 And what's the message of the day?
00:07:04.460 What's the message of the week?
00:07:05.900 Joy, joy, joy, joy to the world is the message of the week.
00:07:08.600 So when you look at this convention, because it's not all joy, we've already seen in many ways the wheels come off of this convention.
00:07:18.280 We see a significant number of protesters that are within the Democratic Party that are in Chicago.
00:07:27.760 We saw a message that went out to all Democratic members of Congress saying, don't check into your hotels under your actual name.
00:07:35.940 Use fake names or other names for your hotel rooms because of the protesters.
00:07:40.720 We've seen even in what was happening over the weekend with some of the delegates there early and some of the events early. 0.97
00:07:47.900 People rushing the stage, grabbing the mic, screaming about being pro-Hamas and pro-Palestine and the hell with the Jews.
00:07:57.500 There's a civil war that's happening this week in Chicago within the Democratic Party.
00:08:02.400 How do they act like that's not going down?
00:08:04.720 Well, there are two interrelated questions.
00:08:07.580 Number one, how many protests are there going to be?
00:08:10.400 And that's how many protests inside the convention hall and how many protests outside the convention hall.
00:08:16.620 The New York Post has reported that roughly 100,000 anti-Israel protesters are expected to descend on Chicago to steal the spotlight from the DNC and the Harris-Waltz ticket.
00:08:29.720 And let me read you what the New York Post said.
00:08:31.600 Quote, roughly 100,000 far-left Israel-hating protesters will be descending on Chicago this week,
00:08:37.840 sowing chaos as Democrat leaders look to rally around their new presidential ticket.
00:08:42.620 At least seven large rallies and marches are set to take place in the Windy City,
00:08:46.220 while the McCormick Place Convention Center hosts the Democratic National Convention.
00:08:51.020 And other rallies are also expected, even though their organizers have not scored the necessary city permits.
00:08:56.480 The causes run the gamut of radical leftist causes, including backing Hamas terrorists and ending U.S. aid to Israel.
00:09:05.180 The convention runs Monday through Thursday, but the protest begins Sunday with a march towards Grant Park,
00:09:11.040 organized by the pro-abortion gay rights organization, Bodies Outside of Unjust Laws.
00:09:17.420 The biggest turnout is expected at March on the DNC 2024 rallies, slated for Monday and Thursday,
00:09:24.200 organized by a coalition of 125 anti-Israel groups, including the Chicago Alliance Against Racism and Political Repression
00:09:34.740 and the U.S.-Palestinian Community Network.
00:09:37.880 Over 30,000 are expected to attend the Monday march.
00:09:41.000 So, how many protesters are we to see outside and in?
00:09:44.980 And the second one is, what is the corporate media going to say about it?
00:09:49.620 Or are they going to stay inside and say joy, joy, joy, and just ignore the leftists that, mind you,
00:09:56.760 the corporate media all agrees with?
00:09:58.280 But right now, the protests are an inconvenient message.
00:10:02.040 And I've got to tell you, I think a lot of the corporate media took a lesson from 1968.
00:10:06.000 1968, you'll recall, there was a Democrat convention, it was in Chicago, and there were violent protests outside.
00:10:13.680 And at the time, the corporate media was not yet thoroughly corrupt, and so they actually covered the protests.
00:10:19.660 And it ended up backfiring badly, and it led to a Richard Nixon landslide.
00:10:26.160 I think the corporate media took that lesson.
00:10:28.520 And this time, I think you could literally have people lighting Chicago on fire.
00:10:35.720 And much like CNN did during the Black Lives Matter Antifa protests,
00:10:40.000 they'll put chyrons on of a mostly peaceful protest, and then cut back to joy.
00:10:46.200 By the way, you could have a great drinking game.
00:10:49.180 Just how many times the word joy is said.
00:10:52.220 I'm not advocating that, because frankly, I don't want the liability if someone gets alcohol poisoning the first night,
00:10:57.660 because joy has said just too many times, you cannot take a shot that many.
00:11:02.180 First hour, first hour you could be at the hospital.
00:11:05.040 Yeah, don't do that, actually.
00:11:06.620 Our listeners are too valuable, so I'm advising against that.
00:11:11.220 All right, instead of a drinking game, have a popcorn kernel.
00:11:16.840 There you go.
00:11:17.340 Something innocuous and safe.
00:11:20.820 Waltz even tonight tweeted out, and this was so funny, or a Sunday night he did.
00:11:25.060 He said, quote, remember the time when you could go to Thanksgiving with your relatives
00:11:30.360 and not complain about politics the whole time, question mark.
00:11:34.700 And then he says, this election is a...
00:11:36.460 Hold on, hold on, stop, stop. 0.99
00:11:38.680 This is the friggin' loon who went on his honeymoon to Communist China? 0.99
00:11:42.580 Yes, yes. 0.99
00:11:43.200 Like, this guy, everything about his whole life has been politics all the time.
00:11:48.280 He's the one that at the Thanksgiving table yells at you and calls you a racist.
00:11:52.660 He's the one that probably chimes into Mandarin if you're not sufficiently woke. 0.98
00:11:57.120 And he's saying, let's have less politics at Thanksgiving.
00:11:59.860 That's rich.
00:12:01.220 Well, and then here's the best part.
00:12:02.460 He says below that, this election is a chance to bring up the joy and look to the future.
00:12:08.920 And I'm sitting there, and what came to my mind, I'm like, hold on a second.
00:12:12.260 Isn't this the same guy that set up a hotline to turn in your neighbors if they gathered
00:12:19.540 for Thanksgiving or Christmas?
00:12:22.180 Isn't that the same guy that said you should turn in your family members or your neighbors
00:12:26.640 if they gathered against his lockdown rules in his state?
00:12:30.100 And now he says, remember that time when Thanksgiving you could hang out with your relatives
00:12:34.800 and not complain about politics the whole time?
00:12:37.760 And yet, there it is.
00:12:38.920 And he's out there, and everybody's like, oh, what a great message.
00:12:41.540 It's joy.
00:12:42.740 Well, and Ben, I don't want to let this moment pass.
00:12:46.080 We've covered this a couple of times on the podcast, but not everyone listens to every
00:12:49.620 pod.
00:12:50.380 I want you to listen to, this is the actual recording from the snitch line that Tim Waltz
00:12:56.560 set up.
00:12:56.940 He wanted the government.
00:12:58.580 This is straight out of communist China, straight out of communist Cuba, straight out of the
00:13:02.760 Soviet Union, which is report on your family, report on your mom, report on your dad, report 1.00
00:13:09.280 on your neighbor if they violate the regime.
00:13:12.720 This is the actual audio from Tim Waltz's snitch on your neighbor tip line.
00:13:18.800 Give a listen.
00:13:19.240 Hello, you have reached the Department of Public Safety stay-at-home hotline.
00:13:25.480 The information you leave is considered public information.
00:13:28.500 At the tone, please leave the following information, your name, your callback number, how the stay-at-home
00:13:35.360 order is being violated, and where the stay-at-home order was violated.
00:13:40.540 Thank you.
00:13:41.820 Record your message at the tone.
00:13:43.620 When you are finished, hang up or press pound for more options.
00:13:47.180 That was back in 2022, so yeah, that Thanksgiving not talking politics, you could just narc on
00:13:54.520 your family.
00:13:55.580 Yeah, does that make for a joyful Thanksgiving?
00:13:58.560 Granny actually talked to her next-door neighbor.
00:14:01.520 Go lock Granny up right now. 1.00
00:14:03.300 Yeah, she's putting all her lives at risk, right?
00:14:05.780 It's just that easy.
00:14:07.280 And then you look at this messaging this week.
00:14:10.700 We saw that the media actually kind of even, I think it's fair to say, rejected her economic
00:14:18.680 plans.
00:14:20.500 On CNN, they're like, look, this is pretty extreme that she's saying what she's saying
00:14:26.620 about all of these prices and controlling prices.
00:14:31.240 And even then she came out and she said, well, hey, we're going to have a housing proposal
00:14:35.240 and $25,000 to every American is going to get first-time homebuyers.
00:14:40.020 And guess what they said on TV?
00:14:41.880 Even on CNN, they said, hey, quote, Kamala Harris housing proposal just added $25,000 to 1.00
00:14:47.620 the price of every home in America.
00:14:50.300 It doesn't work that way.
00:14:52.800 Charles Payne, he went on Fox and he said this about her economic agenda.
00:14:59.400 I don't know how they roll this out in the same words this week, but listen.
00:15:03.080 Your take on what you just heard, Charles.
00:15:04.500 It's a lot, right?
00:15:06.400 I mean, it's essentially what we're talking about, those gargantuan big government that
00:15:10.300 controls everything.
00:15:11.820 What we're talking about is a war on capitalism.
00:15:13.940 They really do not believe in capitalism.
00:15:16.480 And to be quite honest, Dave, when I sat down, I heard you talking about how this has surprised
00:15:20.260 some people.
00:15:20.720 I think the, I was never, I never bought in that she was shifting her spots, you know,
00:15:26.340 but then the selection of the governor from Minnesota solidified this.
00:15:29.620 This day, they are infatuated with some sort of big government knows all, does all, can
00:15:36.000 provide all.
00:15:36.860 And they are not fans of the for profit motivation or capitalism because it's not even about
00:15:43.400 economics about them.
00:15:44.580 They've got to wrap it in the veneer of economics.
00:15:46.560 It's always, always about control.
00:15:48.820 They want to control.
00:15:50.180 They want to be able to pick winners and losers and also be able to punish those losers.
00:15:54.380 When they talk so vitriotically about companies to, to David's point, last time Kroger reported
00:15:59.700 there's their, their, their earnings, their profit margins went down from three and a half
00:16:03.480 percent to 2.9%.
00:16:05.560 Now I don't care what definition of gouging you may have.
00:16:08.760 That's not it.
00:16:09.680 I don't care what anyone says 2.9% and gouging.
00:16:14.040 And I love that Charles point there.
00:16:16.700 He's a, he's a African-American economist.
00:16:19.680 He's on Fox business and he's sitting there and you can tell he's angry.
00:16:24.380 Because he said, what we're talking about here is a war on capitalism.
00:16:27.320 So my question is when you get the reaction that she got this week and it wasn't great
00:16:33.900 just from Friday to today.
00:16:35.380 And that was clearly the rollout for the convention.
00:16:38.260 Are they rewriting speeches right now?
00:16:40.640 Because going with the USSR style, uh, government is maybe not palatable for every American.
00:16:47.940 Yeah.
00:16:48.640 Let me, let me agree and disagree.
00:16:50.640 Um, there, there was certainly some criticism.
00:16:54.380 But, but, but I think you're, you're assuming people are paying closer attention than they
00:16:59.100 actually are.
00:17:00.000 And, and listen, Democrats for a long time have had a campaign strategy of giving away
00:17:06.560 free stuff.
00:17:07.900 Look, right before the 2022 election, uh, we had inflation that was hammering people all
00:17:13.760 across the country.
00:17:14.720 Gasoline prices had skyrocketed.
00:17:16.820 They'd skyrocketed because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had waged war on American oil and gas
00:17:21.360 production.
00:17:21.760 That was the outcome they sought.
00:17:23.500 But as they got close to election day, they realized, wow, people don't like paying that
00:17:26.700 much at the pump.
00:17:27.540 And remember what Joe Biden did.
00:17:29.780 He demagogued gas station owners.
00:17:32.240 He said the gas station owners, and he said the same thing, are price gouging.
00:17:35.520 They're just picking a number out of the sky and charging it to you as, as, as if an individual
00:17:40.140 gas station owner.
00:17:41.560 Look, many of them are owned by immigrants. 0.99
00:17:43.160 They're small businesses.
00:17:44.600 They're barely making it by.
00:17:46.300 They're not the ones setting the global price of oil.
00:17:49.060 They are responding to market forces well beyond any individual gas station owner.
00:17:54.760 But Joe Biden suffered no discernible political cost for just demagoguing the shopkeeper.
00:18:02.520 And so in this instance, I'd be careful of believing our own PR.
00:18:08.140 Listen, we did an entire podcast, Friday's podcast.
00:18:11.320 I would commend to you, we actually did a deep dive into the economics of pricing and
00:18:15.920 what function prices have of setting the relative value of one good versus the other, and also
00:18:22.500 signaling supply and demand.
00:18:24.560 And what Kamala is talking about, I wouldn't say it is precisely an assault on capitalism,
00:18:32.480 because capitalism is a term that can mean a lot of things.
00:18:35.500 But often people think about capitalism as, as the owners of captors, capital, the investors.
00:18:41.660 Rather, I would say what she's engaged in is an assault on free markets, which is certainly 0.86
00:18:45.920 interrelated with capitalism.
00:18:48.120 But in particular, what she is proposing is price fixing, is the government setting prices.
00:18:53.940 And the problem, as we outlined at great length on Friday's podcast, every single time that
00:18:59.960 has been tried, it has been failed because government governments aren't smart enough enough.
00:19:04.900 There's literally millions and millions of signals that go into prices.
00:19:10.240 And so it's a very bad idea.
00:19:12.920 But Ben, I don't want our listeners to get overconfident that just because we know it's
00:19:18.840 a bad idea, it doesn't necessarily mean that the average person who's not following things
00:19:23.840 very closely knows anything beyond just joy, joy, joy, everyone's happy now.
00:19:29.100 Yeah, it's almost like they said, hey, hope and change worked several years back.
00:19:34.080 We got to change the words.
00:19:36.000 We'll just change it to joy.
00:19:38.240 And maybe that'll stick.
00:19:40.220 And it's scary because there is a real chance that that could actually work in her favor in
00:19:45.520 a big way.
00:19:46.260 I want to tell you about our friends over at IFCJ.
00:19:49.040 And I got to say thank you.
00:19:50.500 There are so many of you that listen to the show that have stepped up and really helped
00:19:55.660 the people in Israel.
00:19:57.480 There were so many of you that reached out after the attacks and said, how can I help?
00:20:01.860 Well, we are quickly approaching the one year anniversary of these horrific Hamas attacks 0.93
00:20:06.900 on Israel.
00:20:07.640 And still the Holy Land is being attacked on multiple fronts.
00:20:12.480 Deadly threats are increasing in northern Israel.
00:20:15.900 Constant rocket attacks from Hezbollah have been fired at Israel, causing widespread damage
00:20:20.500 and raging wildfires that have destroyed precious farmland.
00:20:25.160 Now, since the war started, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has been
00:20:30.020 on the front lines, helping those and addressing the needs of the most vulnerable in Israel.
00:20:36.320 That's why I have partnered with IFCJ.
00:20:39.200 And your life saving donation is helping provide not only emergency food, but also critical security
00:20:45.960 needs such as flak jackets, firefighting equipment, armored vehicles, armored ambulances, bomb
00:20:53.520 shelters and much more.
00:20:55.500 Now, what we're asking for is 500 of you to join the fellowship and me by donating $150
00:21:02.100 to meet the urgent security needs of the people there.
00:21:06.120 Thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter, your gift will be matched, doubling your impact in the Holy
00:21:13.700 Land.
00:21:14.380 All you have to do is call to make your gift right now.
00:21:18.520 1-888-488-IFCJ.
00:21:23.360 That's 888-488-IFCJ or 4325.
00:21:30.020 You can also go online to supportifcj.org to give.
00:21:34.320 That's one word, supportifcj.org.
00:21:38.860 Israel needs our support now more than ever.
00:21:42.220 Supportifcj.org to give.
00:21:44.120 And thank you for so many of you that have already gotten involved.
00:21:47.600 Senator, literally just speaking about Israel, and I think this is going to be the flashpoint
00:21:52.920 of this week, it's very clear that if you were Jewish, need not apply to become the vice 0.95
00:21:59.140 president.
00:21:59.560 We saw that they didn't pick the candidate that every political mind said was a smart
00:22:04.460 pick because that person was, in fact, Jewish.
00:22:08.220 And we are seeing the majority of the protesters that they're saying are going to come to the 0.95
00:22:12.920 Democratic Convention are those that hate the Jews.
00:22:16.320 How big of a liability could this become this week?
00:22:19.020 And how much can the media look the other way?
00:22:22.220 Is it to the point where even if there's like legitimate violence and anarchy?
00:22:27.420 I mean, we've seen in Chicago, they have shut down many of the areas.
00:22:31.100 They have boarded up the businesses in preparation.
00:22:35.380 Owners of these businesses say they expect there to be chaos because they live in a city where
00:22:40.240 there already is chaos.
00:22:42.440 And so they just said, we're sending our employees home.
00:22:45.120 We're boarding the place up like a ghost town.
00:22:47.320 Well, I think we're going to see a lot of anti-Semitism, and I think the media is going
00:22:53.380 to try to cover it up.
00:22:54.520 They're going to try to make it appear something that it isn't.
00:22:58.140 Look, we played on this podcast a week or two ago, Jake Tapper on CNN, desperately trying
00:23:03.440 to apologize for the anti-Semitism of his fellow CNN commentators who were basically saying
00:23:09.500 when Josh Shapiro was passed over for VP, basically saying, well, of course he was.
00:23:13.800 He was Jewish.
00:23:14.700 You could never actually put a Jewish person.
00:23:17.020 And Tapper's like, well, wait, wait, wait.
00:23:19.540 Like his policies on Israel are ostensibly the same as Tim Waltz's.
00:23:26.120 And the commentators are like, yeah, but Shapiro is different.
00:23:29.700 Well, and Tapper calls him out on it.
00:23:32.640 But it's, I think you will see the media.
00:23:35.480 There are going to be a lot of speeches talking about we must save Gaza.
00:23:39.480 Gaza is going to be praised like crazy. 0.96
00:23:41.780 There are going to be very few speeches, if any, denouncing October 7th, talking about
00:23:47.240 the atrocities of October 7th.
00:23:49.080 That's not going to exist.
00:23:50.340 You're going to talk, you're going to hear about the atrocities, but the atrocities are
00:23:54.260 going to be blamed on Israel.
00:23:55.760 That's going to be the language and rhetoric to the extent anything is said.
00:24:00.020 On the border, to the extent anything is said on the border, they're going to claim the
00:24:06.220 border is being solved.
00:24:07.500 They're going to claim, they're going to claim a narrative that they're getting tough on the
00:24:13.060 border.
00:24:13.380 And I got to say this week, it really was classic because the Washington Post jumped in
00:24:18.380 this week with this astonishing message, which is there is no border crisis at all.
00:24:25.320 Yeah, the Washington Post actually decided it would be a good idea to tweet this out and
00:24:31.260 then connect it to their website where it says, Republicans fled TV with misleading ads
00:24:38.580 about immigration and the border.
00:24:41.460 And I'm like, really?
00:24:42.980 That's your headline?
00:24:44.380 They said many of these ads misled voters by portraying the U.S.-Mexico border as a chaotic
00:24:50.500 scene overrun by criminals and inferring there's a danger that doesn't align with reality.
00:24:58.460 Okay, let's play the game, Senator, for just a second.
00:25:02.100 True or false, we have more people coming across the southern border now than at any other time
00:25:07.420 in history.
00:25:08.720 Absolutely true.
00:25:10.040 True or false, we have more people on the terrorist watch list are being caught now than
00:25:14.760 at any other time when Trump was president or before.
00:25:17.340 Absolutely true by orders of magnitude.
00:25:19.320 True or false, we have so many migrant children that are coming across the border, they're 1.00
00:25:26.640 releasing them to non-family members and then losing track of a third of the kids when they
00:25:31.800 go to check in on them 30 days later.
00:25:33.940 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have lost over 80,000 children.
00:25:40.100 Illegal immigrant children who came in were in their custody.
00:25:43.200 They placed them with adults.
00:25:44.460 They don't know if the adults are the family members.
00:25:46.120 They don't know if the adults are putting these kids in child slave labor. 0.99
00:25:49.440 They don't know if the adults are sexually abusing these kids. 0.95
00:25:52.720 And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have lost them.
00:25:55.680 Those kids, nobody knows where they are.
00:25:57.600 True or false, even in New York City, they're saying one third of all hotel rooms are being
00:26:02.320 now used by illegal immigrants and that it's costing them billions of dollars.
00:26:07.680 There's even warnings that it could actually flip budgets into where local municipalities
00:26:13.200 could, quote, go bankrupt.
00:26:15.160 True.
00:26:15.760 The Democrat mayor of New York has said illegal immigration is a crisis.
00:26:19.580 It is destroying New York City.
00:26:21.880 Not just the Democrat mayor of New York.
00:26:23.380 The Democrat mayor of Chicago said the same thing.
00:26:25.600 The Democrat mayor of Boston said the same thing.
00:26:27.740 The Democrat mayor of Washington, D.C.
00:26:29.320 has said the same thing.
00:26:30.460 The Democrat mayor of Los Angeles has said the same thing.
00:26:32.740 The Democrat governor of New York has said the same thing.
00:26:35.500 The Democrat governor of Massachusetts has said the same thing.
00:26:38.680 And yet, the Washington Post says it's not happening.
00:26:41.820 Here's what that Post article continues to say.
00:26:44.360 More than $247 million was spent in the first six months of this year on television,
00:26:48.580 streaming platforms and digital ads that mention immigration, according to Ad Impact,
00:26:52.420 which tracks campaign advertising.
00:26:54.160 That is $40 million more than ads that mention any other issue.
00:26:57.080 Over 90% of the ads supported Republican candidates and were paid for by their campaigns
00:27:01.120 or political action committees supporting them.
00:27:03.480 The Washington Post analyzed the transcripts, images, and on-screen texts
00:27:06.980 featured more than 700 campaign ads that mention immigration.
00:27:10.920 Taken as a whole, the ads convey an unrealistic portrait of the border as being overrun
00:27:16.920 and inaccurately characterize immigrants generally as a threat of which there is little evidence, liars.
00:27:25.020 FBI data shows U.S. border cities are among the nation's safest
00:27:28.560 in a 2023 report from a group of economists found immigrants are at least 30% less likely
00:27:33.260 to be incarcerated than U.S.-born individuals.
00:27:35.420 All right, let me break that down on a couple of pieces.
00:27:37.480 Number one, taken as a whole, the ads convey an unrealistic portrait of the border
00:27:43.700 as being overrun. 0.97
00:27:47.060 These reporters are absolute liars. 0.99
00:27:49.700 The Washington Post is filled with mendacity, and I want to invite them, 0.98
00:27:54.500 come down with me on any given night.
00:27:57.200 If you don't think the border is being overrun, come out with me
00:28:00.780 and watch the groups of illegal immigrants that are coming night after night after night.
00:28:05.860 They sit in D.C.
00:28:06.800 By the way, the mayor of their own town, Washington, D.C., has said it's a crisis.
00:28:11.300 But I'll tell you, when you come in, look, I was down in Del Rio,
00:28:15.300 a town of about 30,000 people,
00:28:17.880 when more than 10,000 Haitian illegal immigrants crossed
00:28:21.820 in a single day, more than a third of the population of the city.
00:28:26.600 And yet, the Washington Post is lying, saying the border is not overrun.
00:28:30.440 And then, okay, this is their favorite talking point,
00:28:33.240 where they say, well, gosh, the data show immigrants commit crimes 0.65
00:28:36.940 at a lesser rate than Americans.
00:28:38.400 That's the same line, remember Joe Biden during the State of the Union
00:28:41.180 when Lakin Riley was brought up and he said,
00:28:43.200 she was killed by an illegal. 0.80
00:28:44.780 Well, legals kill people, too. 1.00
00:28:47.100 Well, yes, it is true. 1.00
00:28:48.780 There are Americans who are murderers and rapists and child molesters. 1.00
00:28:53.620 And those problems are made much, much worse 0.96
00:28:55.420 when Democrats like Kamala Harris pay the bail money 0.50
00:28:58.740 to bail them out of jail so that they can assault
00:29:00.800 and commit more violent crimes. 0.74
00:29:03.280 The answer to Americans who are criminals is lock them up, 1.00
00:29:06.840 not as Democrats do, undermine the cops, abolish the police,
00:29:10.240 defund the police, and release violent criminals with no bail.
00:29:13.160 That's the Democrat approach.
00:29:15.500 However, just because we have murderers in America
00:29:19.960 does not mean it is a good thing to bring more murderers to America.
00:29:26.800 That is an utter logical fallacy.
00:29:29.060 And so when you go through the people who are killed,
00:29:31.160 whether it's Lakin Riley, whether it's Rachel Morin,
00:29:33.800 whether it's Jocelyn Nungere, or whether it's Jeremy Caceres,
00:29:37.380 one after the other after the other,
00:29:38.840 murdered by illegal immigrants that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris 0.99
00:29:43.040 had in custody and that they released,
00:29:45.580 those individuals are dead because of the border crisis.
00:29:50.280 That is not hyperbole.
00:29:52.180 That is not exaggeration.
00:29:53.820 That is a fact.
00:29:55.680 And the Washington Post is lying through its teeth
00:29:58.720 because every one of them are rooting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
00:30:02.660 Canadian women are looking for more. 1.00
00:30:05.380 More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:30:09.860 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:30:13.480 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:30:14.500 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:30:16.060 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:30:19.780 Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers,
00:30:23.300 all at different stages of their journey.
00:30:25.480 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:30:28.720 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:30:32.780 If the media refuses to tell you what actually is happening at the convention,
00:30:38.140 and they tell you that everything's just joy,
00:30:40.080 even if there's anarchy and chaos outside or inside the halls,
00:30:42.980 and they just stick with the script, it's joy, joy, joy, joy, joy,
00:30:45.920 then does she come out of this convention with a big bump in the polls over Donald Trump? 1.00
00:30:54.140 Look, I think the odds are significant that she'll come out with a bump.
00:30:57.440 I don't know that it'll be much because I actually think
00:30:59.620 most of the bump that you would get from a convention she's gotten already.
00:31:03.980 She basically has had a month-long convention.
00:31:07.200 Once they pushed Joe Biden out,
00:31:09.740 and let me be clear, with Joe Biden,
00:31:12.160 when the media decided, when the Democrats decided,
00:31:15.020 it was like they invited Fredo out to go fishing.
00:31:19.700 I mean, they just, he said his rosary,
00:31:23.020 and he said his Hail Mary,
00:31:24.900 and pop, pop, end of the line for Joe.
00:31:29.620 With no compunction.
00:31:32.340 There's going to be an irony,
00:31:33.900 because as I said, there's going to be a lot of nostalgic praising.
00:31:37.960 I mean, you know, talking about things like putting him on Mount Rushmore,
00:31:42.100 which I think it was Pelosi who just did recently.
00:31:44.480 Yeah, I said, oh, you have to.
00:31:45.780 He's that great of a president referring to Joe Biden.
00:31:48.260 Yeah, they're going to bend over backwards without ever acknowledging,
00:31:52.040 I believe that the Democrats,
00:31:55.220 and in particular Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi,
00:31:57.700 threatened, Joe, either you step down now,
00:32:01.620 or we will use the 25th Amendment and throw you out.
00:32:05.320 I don't believe this was voluntary.
00:32:07.200 I think they forced him out.
00:32:08.360 I think that will be completely covered up this week,
00:32:11.520 and instead this week they will just sing his praises,
00:32:15.240 and the press will be completely complicit.
00:32:19.580 But ever since they pushed him out and had the coronation of Kamala,
00:32:24.580 we have had hundreds of millions of dollars of relentless praise for Kamala,
00:32:29.200 and the consequence of that,
00:32:32.240 I'm not sure there's much more of the sugar high we can get.
00:32:35.920 They're going to try.
00:32:37.200 They're going to try for a week,
00:32:38.780 but I think we are at or near the high point of where Kamala is going to go.
00:32:43.640 You know, when you have a convention,
00:32:45.100 it's always about play the hits, right?
00:32:46.680 And they're going to have a lot of people that come in
00:32:49.140 and a lot of people that quote-unquote play the hits.
00:32:53.460 It's going to be Barack Obama.
00:32:55.740 It's going to be Michelle Obama.
00:32:57.160 It's going to be every famous person that they want to throw up there.
00:33:00.200 It's going to be the Clintons.
00:33:01.840 They're going to clearly, I think, play the hits.
00:33:05.720 Is that a smart strategy,
00:33:07.480 even if it kind of takes her offstage a little bit?
00:33:10.800 Is that actually a better idea?
00:33:13.320 Because then it's not all about her.
00:33:15.260 It's more about the kumbaya-ism of the Democrats?
00:33:19.100 Absolutely.
00:33:19.960 Look, they don't want to actually talk about Joe Biden's record.
00:33:23.460 And so playing the hits, playing Barack, playing Michelle,
00:33:28.520 you know, they're going to have Bill Clinton and have some nostalgia.
00:33:32.680 They're going to talk about, hey, things were great when we were in charge.
00:33:37.500 Bizarrely enough, they're trying to run as the change campaign,
00:33:41.900 despite the fact that the Democrats are the incumbent party.
00:33:45.060 What is so bizarre about every time Kamala proposes something is,
00:33:49.160 okay, if she could magically lower prices in grocery stores, 0.80
00:33:54.320 why isn't she doing so right now?
00:33:56.880 Like, she's in office.
00:33:58.620 Like, there's nothing preventing her.
00:34:01.260 If there is this magic wand, is she just mean?
00:34:05.200 Does she just like high grocery prices? 1.00
00:34:07.640 No.
00:34:08.320 It's complete nonsense, but no one in the press is asking,
00:34:10.960 wait a second, you are in office.
00:34:13.000 You don't get to say, here's my great idea.
00:34:15.520 You know, we're watching her emulate Trump's policies,
00:34:20.880 things like copying no taxes on tips.
00:34:24.080 Well, she's been in office for four years.
00:34:27.460 Why haven't they proposed it?
00:34:28.900 I've filed legislation to do that.
00:34:30.880 Where's the White House?
00:34:31.900 They are simply trying to ignore the fact that they are the incumbent administration.
00:34:41.220 You're going to see a lot of that.
00:34:44.320 There's something else that I think it's important for us to point out.
00:34:47.860 We've talked a lot about how Democrats engage in Freudian projection.
00:34:52.200 I think Sigmund Freud is rolling over in his grave that every single thing the Democrats
00:35:02.000 accuse their opponents of doing, every single thing is, in fact, what the Democrats are doing.
00:35:07.420 Now, Ben, what was the adjective that Tim Waltz famously used for Republicans, especially J.D. Vance?
00:35:15.720 Weird.
00:35:16.180 Weird.
00:35:16.820 Weird.
00:35:17.480 And by the way, like Joy, he said weird, and suddenly every corporate meat outlet,
00:35:22.760 weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, weird, that became the, you know, weird is the word.
00:35:27.620 By the way, can we just, you just mentioned weird.
00:35:31.880 Doug Inhofe today said something that was weird, referring to Harris and Waltz.
00:35:38.300 You were sitting behind him.
00:35:39.020 Listen.
00:35:39.560 And again, we really bonded.
00:35:41.040 You saw me get up on that stage, and we just hugged it out.
00:35:44.180 A few of my friends texted me.
00:35:45.620 It's like, what's the deal?
00:35:47.420 Like, I've known you for 20 or 30 years.
00:35:49.800 You've never hugged me like that.
00:35:51.240 Well, you've never been a vice presidential candidate before on stage.
00:35:56.200 By the way, that's weird.
00:35:57.920 That is just something weird to say if you want to talk weird, and that's the Harris campaign.
00:36:02.380 Okay, and I got that beat.
00:36:05.080 I'm going to give you something really bizarre.
00:36:08.660 This is a headline from this week.
00:36:10.240 DNC attendees will have opportunities for free vasectomies, abortions. 0.99
00:36:20.560 Here's the news article.
00:36:22.480 Attendees at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago will have the opportunity to receive free vasectomies and abortions just blocks away from the proceedings at the United Center.
00:36:31.420 Planned Parenthood at Great Rivers, which operates in parts of Missouri and Illinois, will park its mobile health clinic near the DNC on October 19th and August 20th, according to the New York Times.
00:36:44.620 Medication abortions are reportedly available on both days, with vasectomies exclusively being offered on Monday.
00:36:51.960 We clip them Mondays.
00:36:53.220 And in fact, here's the tweet.
00:36:55.820 Here we come Chicago, our mobile health clinic, will be in the West Loop, providing free vasectomies and medication abortion.
00:37:03.900 Okay, Ben, that is weird.
00:37:07.080 A political convention, we're going to nominate our presidential nominee.
00:37:13.620 You go to Chicago, what for?
00:37:15.680 You want a free vasectomy and free abortion? 1.00
00:37:18.100 Like, these people are zealots.
00:37:21.540 Yeah, it's not just weird, it's also, I would argue, creepy on a whole other level, because they're actually celebrating the fact that you can come to the Democratic Convention with child and leave without a child, and that is now the Democratic Party.
00:37:41.060 Planned Parenthood actually put it out.
00:37:43.520 Not only are they offering free abortions and vasectomies to the DNC, but they said they've, like, maxed out of appointments, apparently, for the vasectomies, and they said we've got unlimited, however, medical abortions, medication abortion.
00:37:58.220 So just keep on coming, ladies, with your babies to the DNC. 0.99
00:38:02.520 Come with a child and leave without one. 0.60
00:38:05.040 That's sick.
00:38:06.960 All right, all right.
00:38:07.660 It is certainly sick, and you think about how far the Democrat Party has come.
00:38:12.660 Bill Clinton stood up in the State of the Union, and he said as a Democrat he wanted abortion to be safe, legal, and rare.
00:38:22.060 There was a time when Democrats would acknowledge that abortion was the taking of a life.
00:38:27.920 And they defended it, but they didn't celebrate it.
00:38:33.760 And now this Democrat Party is all about abortion all the time.
00:38:39.600 It's a reason to dance in the streets. 0.59
00:38:43.740 That is just how extreme the Democrat Party has gone.
00:38:48.400 But I am going to say something.
00:38:49.720 I'm going to go out on a limb.
00:38:51.460 There's actually a portion of this I support.
00:38:54.120 I support every delegate at the DNC getting a vasectomy.
00:38:58.620 I think the world will be better off if these people don't reproduce. 1.00
00:39:04.360 Now, look, half of them are not actually going to have conjugal relations with someone of the opposite sex,
00:39:09.220 and so they probably won't reproduce anyway.
00:39:11.060 But I'm for it.
00:39:12.300 Let's just stop it now.
00:39:15.760 I'm really grateful.
00:39:17.020 I would encourage you're a bad Democrat delegate if you don't get snipped.
00:39:22.420 If you don't take them up on it, right?
00:39:24.160 Stand in line on Monday and make it happen.
00:39:26.720 It's truly, to use their favorite word, weird.
00:39:31.320 It is weird.
00:39:32.260 Let me tell you about Blackout Coffee.
00:39:34.000 I start my morning every morning at 7 a.m. on the radio,
00:39:37.040 and I can tell you when you wake up in the morning early

00:39:57.860 And I want you to try it because this coffee company is 100% America and 0% woke.
00:40:03.740 There's a lot of coffee brands out there,
00:40:05.880 probably a couple have already popped into your mind right now,
00:40:08.800 that are extreme leftist woke companies.
00:40:12.720 Blackout Coffee is 100% committed to conservative values.
00:40:16.580 From the sourcing of the beans to the roasting process,
00:40:20.820 customer support and shipping,

00:40:24.840 and then there's this.

00:40:32.200 or even their flavored coffee,

00:41:11.960 Senator, let me ask you two final questions.
00:41:14.520 One, what do you expect from the VP candidate this week?
00:41:19.960 Is that part of the campaign kind of going to disappear?
00:41:23.620 I mean, we saw the excitement the DNC
00:41:25.980 and all the Democrats had over at Walls.
00:41:28.240 Now, is he just kind of okay next?
00:41:31.100 Number one, will that be an issue?
00:41:33.340 And number two, Harris' speech,
00:41:37.720 how important is this speech to her future?
00:41:42.380 Well, look, I think Tim Waltz,
00:41:44.580 Tim Waltz will have a major primetime speech.
00:41:47.360 And they're going to do a lot to tell the narrative
00:41:50.680 of him as nice old grandpa,
00:41:55.740 your favorite teacher.
00:41:58.460 They're going to call him coach a lot.
00:42:00.320 He's going to be coach, coach, coach.
00:42:02.140 And it's going to be, I mean, think Mr. Holland's opus.
00:42:06.620 It is going to be telling the narrative of a nice,
00:42:10.360 you know, genial, affable teacher
00:42:13.620 who just mentored young people.
00:42:15.920 And he coached them on the football team.
00:42:18.620 And he's just, they're going to do everything they can
00:42:21.840 to make it sunshine and light and joy.
00:42:24.700 They will not, I predict,
00:42:28.300 have him play the typical role of attack dog
00:42:31.880 that VP candidates often do.
00:42:34.800 They'll do a little bit of that.
00:42:36.320 And it'll mostly be attacking
00:42:38.200 Trump and Vance.
00:42:42.320 I think you'll get some of,
00:42:43.520 he'll use his line that they're weird
00:42:45.260 because that kind of made his name.
00:42:48.680 But I think they will try to just pitch him
00:42:52.240 as utterly harmless.
00:42:54.080 And they will talk nothing
00:42:55.800 about the radical policies.
00:42:58.140 You will not hear about the snitch line
00:43:01.720 he set up to report on your neighbors
00:43:04.720 if they violated his draconian stay-at-home order.
00:43:07.660 You will not hear about his order
00:43:09.280 to put tampons in the boys' bathroom at school
00:43:12.260 because, you know, boys really do need tampons.
00:43:14.540 You won't hear any of that.
00:43:15.560 You will not hear when they tell his life
00:43:18.660 about the romantic honeymoon he enjoyed
00:43:21.780 in communist China.
00:43:22.940 None of those extreme positions,
00:43:25.480 none of the weird aspects of his life
00:43:27.980 will be highlighted.
00:43:29.840 As for her speech,
00:43:31.960 look, this speech is a big deal.
00:43:34.060 And I think she will give a good speech.
00:43:36.380 I think Republicans that are all eager,
00:43:39.540 oh, she's going to fall on her face. 0.98
00:43:41.580 Listen, at the convention,
00:43:43.020 she's done a pretty good job at the rally. 0.84
00:43:44.920 She reads from the teleprompter just fine.
00:43:48.000 And they'll write her a good speech.
00:43:49.940 They've got some amazing storytellers
00:43:52.180 in the Democrat Party.
00:43:54.040 And it is going to be all,
00:43:56.540 none of it is going to take responsibility
00:43:58.860 for the disastrous and failed record
00:44:00.960 of the last four years.
00:44:02.520 But it is all going to be hope and change and joy.
00:44:06.680 And, you know, I think she will deliver it just fine.
00:44:12.080 She's at much, much greater risk
00:44:13.780 when she's ad-libbing,
00:44:15.200 when she's answering questions and being pressed.
00:44:17.960 That will not happen this week.
00:44:19.660 So she'll read the speech just fine.
00:44:21.600 We're going to cover it all that I can promise you here.
