Transcript
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.
00:00:26.060
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.
00:01:29.440
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.
00:02:14.100
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.
00:02:29.320
They do it by taking about 5% of your bill every month and they give it back to conservative causes that put America first.

00:03:49.940
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.
00:04:10.600
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.
00:04:38.100
They all got the word they were supposed to use.
00:04:43.360
She's all, you know, rainbows and sunshine going into the Democratic convention.
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.
00:05:15.800
And then, look, the relationship, it's important to understand, the media are no longer third parties reporting on what the campaign does.
00:05:30.000
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.
00:05:41.960
We said that in significant part because the media had started getting wobbly on Biden.
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.
00:06:13.860
They literally earned their living, theoretically, covering news, getting big interviews.
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.
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.
00:06:57.300
That is their strategy, and their strategy is let the corporate media carry the message.
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.
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.
00:08:07.580
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
00:09:37.880
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,
00:09:58.280
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.
00:10:28.520
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.
00:10:52.220
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.
00:11:06.620
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.
00:11:20.820
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.
00:11:38.680
This is the friggin' loon who went on his honeymoon to Communist China?
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.
00:11:57.120
And he's saying, let's have less politics at Thanksgiving.
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
00:12:22.180
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?
00:12:38.920
And he's out there, and everybody's like, oh, what a great message.
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
00:12:50.380
I want you to listen to, this is the actual recording from the snitch line that Tim Waltz
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
00:13:12.720
This is the actual audio from Tim Waltz's snitch on your neighbor tip line.
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.
00:13:43.620
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
00:13:55.580
Yeah, does that make for a joyful Thanksgiving?
00:13:58.560
Granny actually talked to her next-door neighbor.
00:14:03.300
Yeah, she's putting all her lives at risk, right?
00:14:10.700
We saw that the media actually kind of even, I think it's fair to say, rejected her economic
00:14:20.500
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.
00:14:41.880
Even on CNN, they said, hey, quote, Kamala Harris housing proposal just added $25,000 to
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.
00:15:06.400
I mean, it's essentially what we're talking about, those gargantuan big government that
00:15:11.820
What we're talking about is a war on capitalism.
00:15:16.480
And to be quite honest, Dave, when I sat down, I heard you talking about how this has surprised
00:15:20.720
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
00:15:36.860
And they are not fans of the for profit motivation or capitalism because it's not even about
00:15:44.580
They've got to wrap it in the veneer of economics.
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
00:16:05.560
Now I don't care what definition of gouging you may have.
00:16:09.680
I don't care what anyone says 2.9% and gouging.
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
00:16:35.380
And that was clearly the rollout for the convention.
00:16:40.640
Because going with the USSR style, uh, government is maybe not palatable for every American.
00:16:54.380
But, but, but I think you're, you're assuming people are paying closer attention than they
00:17:00.000
And, and listen, Democrats for a long time have had a campaign strategy of giving away
00:17:07.900
Look, right before the 2022 election, uh, we had inflation that was hammering people all
00:17:16.820
They'd skyrocketed because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris had waged war on American oil and gas
00:17:23.500
But as they got close to election day, they realized, wow, people don't like paying that
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
00:17:46.300
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
00:18:24.560
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
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.
00:19:12.920
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.
00:19:40.220
And it's scary because there is a real chance that that could actually work in her favor in
00:19:46.260
I want to tell you about our friends over at IFCJ.
00:19:50.500
There are so many of you that listen to the show that have stepped up and really helped
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
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.
00:20:39.200
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
00:20:55.500
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
00:21:14.380
All you have to do is call to make your gift right now.
00:21:30.020
You can also go online to 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
00:21:59.560
We saw that they didn't pick the candidate that every political mind said was a smart
00:22:08.220
And we are seeing the majority of the protesters that they're saying are going to come to the
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?
00:22:22.220
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
00:22:42.440
And so they just said, we're sending our employees home.
00:22:47.320
Well, I think we're going to see a lot of anti-Semitism, and I think the media is going
00:22:54.520
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.
00:23:19.540
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.
00:23:35.480
There are going to be a lot of speeches talking about we must save Gaza.
00:23:41.780
There are going to be very few speeches, if any, denouncing October 7th, talking about
00:23:50.340
You're going to talk, you're going to hear about the atrocities, but the atrocities are
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
00:24:07.500
They're going to claim, they're going to claim a narrative that they're getting tough on the
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
00:24:44.380
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
00:25:10.040
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.
00:25:19.320
True or false, we have so many migrant children that are coming across the border, they're
00:25:26.640
releasing them to non-family members and then losing track of a third of the kids when they
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.
00:25:44.460
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.
00:25:49.440
They don't know if the adults are sexually abusing these kids.
00:25:52.720
And Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have lost them.
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
00:26:15.760
The Democrat mayor of New York has said illegal immigration is a crisis.
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.
00:26:30.460
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,
00:26:54.160
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
00:27:35.420
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
00:27:49.700
The Washington Post is filled with mendacity, and I want to invite them,
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.
00:28:06.800
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,
00:28:17.880
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
00:28:38.400
That's the same line, remember Joe Biden during the State of the Union
00:28:48.780
There are Americans who are murderers and rapists and child molesters.
00:28:55.420
when Democrats like Kamala Harris pay the bail money
00:28:58.740
to bail them out of jail so that they can assault
00:29:03.280
The answer to Americans who are criminals is lock them up,
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.
00:29:15.500
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.
00:29:29.060
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,
00:29:38.840
murdered by illegal immigrants that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
00:29:45.580
those individuals are dead because of the border crisis.
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.
00:30:05.380
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.
00:30:16.060
And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:30:19.780
Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers,
00:30:25.480
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,
00:30:40.080
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?
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.
00:31:12.160
when the media decided, when the Democrats decided,
00:31:15.020
it was like they invited Fredo out to go fishing.
00:31:33.900
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.
00:31:45.780
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,
00:31:55.220
and in particular Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi,
00:32:01.620
or we will use the 25th Amendment and throw you 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,
00:32:19.580
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,
00:32:32.240
I'm not sure there's much more of the sugar high we can get.
00:32:38.780
but I think we are at or near the high point of where Kamala is going to go.
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.
00:32:57.160
It's going to be every famous person that they want to throw up there.
00:33:01.840
They're going to clearly, I think, play the hits.
00:33:07.480
even if it kind of takes her offstage a little bit?
00:33:15.260
It's more about the kumbaya-ism of the Democrats?
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,
00:34:08.320
It's complete nonsense, but no one in the press is asking,
00:34:15.520
You know, we're watching her emulate Trump's policies,
00:34:31.900
They are simply trying to ignore the fact that they are the incumbent administration.
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?
00:35:17.480
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.
00:35:41.040
You saw me get up on that stage, and we just hugged it out.
00:35:51.240
Well, you've never been a vice presidential candidate before on stage.
00:35:57.920
That is just something weird to say if you want to talk weird, and that's the Harris campaign.
00:36:05.080
I'm going to give you something really bizarre.
00:36:10.240
DNC attendees will have opportunities for free vasectomies, abortions.
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.
00:36:55.820
Here we come Chicago, our mobile health clinic, will be in the West Loop, providing free vasectomies and medication abortion.
00:37:07.080
A political convention, we're going to nominate our presidential nominee.
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.
00:37:43.520
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.
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.
00:38:43.740
That is just how extreme the Democrat Party has gone.
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.
00:39:04.360
Now, look, half of them are not actually going to have conjugal relations with someone of the opposite sex,
00:39:17.020
I would encourage you're a bad Democrat delegate if you don't get snipped.
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
00:39:40.140
and you've got to be on go and get information out there
00:39:47.740
you need to start your day with a premium cup of coffee.

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?
00:41:47.360
And they're going to do a lot to tell the narrative
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,
00:42:18.620
And he's just, they're going to do everything they can
00:43:04.720
if they violated his draconian stay-at-home order.
00:43:12.260
because, you know, boys really do need tampons.
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.
00:44:15.200
when she's answering questions and being pressed.
00:44:21.600
We're going to cover it all that I can promise you here.
