00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.420 Welcome.

00:00:06.100 It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:07.960 Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.240 Senator, this is one of those fun pods where you get to do video as well.

00:00:13.280 And it is really fun to watch.

00:00:15.740 Democrats had what they would have described as an amazing convention.

00:00:19.380 They were coming out of it probably with a bump for Kamala. 1.00

00:00:23.360 And then all of a sudden, RFK Jr. Monday becomes their worst nightmare.

00:00:27.220 Well, Bobby Kennedy now has dropped out of the presidential campaign and he's endorsed Donald Trump. 0.73

00:00:34.560 This is, in technical political terms, a big damn deal.

00:00:40.480 Even more important is Kennedy's reasons why. 0.84

00:00:44.640 He detailed just a stunning indictment of his former party.

00:00:49.600 It is powerful and it could easily move votes in swing states.

00:00:53.800 We're going to break it all down in this show.

00:00:55.500 We're also going to talk about Kamala Harris, as the borders are, has lost 300,000 children.

00:01:05.880 Listen to that sentence again.

00:01:07.920 Kamala Harris has lost 300,000 children.

00:01:12.520 Now, the media won't tell you about it.

00:01:14.220 We're going to.

00:03:08.340 Senator, I have seen a lot of endorsements that have happened, a lot of announcements that have happened in my political life.

00:03:14.280 You've seen a lot, too.

00:03:15.880 A lot of them aren't as historic as people want to believe in the moment.

00:03:20.200 I think watching a guy by the last name Kennedy not only drop out but endorse Trump,

00:03:26.000 this may be the most important endorsement that Donald Trump has ever received.

00:03:31.000 So, look, I think it has the potential to be seismic.

00:03:34.000 We're going to break down the political impact of it.

00:03:36.060 But before we talk about the politics, I want to focus on the substance because the substantive indictment

00:03:42.160 that Bobby Kennedy made of the Democrat Party is really significant.

00:03:47.560 And I want to start by just listening to Kennedy's own reasons why he endorsed Donald Trump.

00:03:53.980 Here, give a listen.

00:03:54.620 Give a watch.

00:03:55.060 I'm suspending my campaign activities.

00:03:59.280 Not only did we do the impossible by collecting a million signatures,

00:04:03.840 we changed the national political conversation forever.

00:04:08.080 Chronic disease, free speech, government corruption, breaking our addiction to war,

00:04:13.660 have moved to the center of politics.

00:04:15.940 I can say to all who have worked so hard the last year and a half,

00:04:21.460 thank you for a job well done.

00:04:23.580 Three great causes drove me to antithous race in the first place, primarily. 1.00

00:04:30.480 And these are the principal causes that persuaded me to leave the Democratic Party and run as an independent.

00:04:38.800 And now, to throw my support to President Trump, the causes were free speech,

00:04:47.580 the war in Ukraine, and the war on our children.

00:04:51.780 This is very authentic.

00:04:53.580 You and I talked about this months ago.

00:04:55.140 I had dinner with him in Nevada.

00:04:57.560 And you and I talked about it afterwards.

00:04:59.520 I was like, he's very focused on agenda items right now.

00:05:03.040 They have not changed since I had dinner with him.

00:05:05.280 He was very clear then.

00:05:06.720 I'm in this race for these issues.

00:05:08.600 This is why I'm running.

00:05:10.000 And then, yeah, the Democratic Party screwed him over royally.

00:05:12.380 And that's part of this story, obviously.

00:05:14.600 But these are important things that many Americans agree with him on.

00:05:17.700 Look, that's exactly right.

00:05:19.760 You've got one up on me.

00:05:20.740 I've never met Kennedy.

00:05:22.060 So I only know him from TV, from what he says publicly.

00:05:26.740 But everything I see that is sincere, that is real,

00:05:31.140 that these are convictions that he has.

00:05:35.000 And they happen to be convictions that are shared by an awful lot of Americans.

00:05:38.540 You look at the first one he listed, free speech.

00:05:41.360 And I think free speech is something incredibly powerful.

00:05:44.700 It happens to be a deep passion of both you and me.

00:05:48.060 It is a major focus of this podcast.

00:05:51.020 It's a major reason we do this podcast.

00:05:53.940 Look, you and I are often recording verdict at midnight,

00:05:58.440 at one in the morning, at two in the morning.

00:06:00.260 And, heck, you do a morning radio show, too.

00:06:03.380 So you're getting slammed on both sides.

00:06:05.920 But a big part of the reason we do it is between the corruption of the media

00:06:13.120 and the censorship that is out there, that combination is enormously impactful.

00:06:19.720 And, you know, one of the things that Kennedy said at the rally with Trump

00:06:23.660 is he talked about throughout history,

00:06:26.780 when you have governments censoring, bad things happen.

00:06:31.300 And he asked the question, when have the people censoring ever been the good guys?

00:06:36.060 Yeah.

00:06:36.540 And it's a really, really good question.

00:06:39.300 And I got to say, I think he is sincere.

00:06:41.580 And there was a time when there were lots of Democrats who defended free speech.

00:06:47.140 It's difficult to name a Democrat who defends free speech today.

00:06:53.200 In the Senate, I served with 51 Democrat senators.

00:06:56.540 There's not one, not a single one, who I've ever heard speak up against big tech censorship.

00:07:03.420 There's not one who I've ever heard speak up against media censorship.

00:07:07.940 Literally, we go through hearing after hearing.

00:07:10.560 Twitter files.

00:07:11.080 Was there anybody that was even outraged?

00:07:12.760 Zero.

00:07:13.260 So even when you guys were showing evidence and it was all the Twitter files were coming out,

00:07:17.480 which is when Musk decided to buy Twitter,

00:07:19.220 and we found out about all the censorship that was happening behind the scenes,

00:07:22.460 many of us knew it was happening.

00:07:23.800 We just didn't have the proof.

00:07:24.820 Then we got the proof.

00:07:26.320 We could see it.

00:07:27.120 We could feel it.

00:07:27.760 We could understand our reach was changing.

00:07:29.300 People were being silenced.

00:07:30.300 Their accounts were being shut down.

00:07:31.740 And we had those things.

00:07:32.700 But this was very clear in emails.

00:07:34.760 No one was outraged.

00:07:36.040 None of your colleagues.

00:07:36.940 Not even outraged.

00:07:38.420 They don't ask questions about it.

00:07:40.340 They simply want to memory hole the whole thing.

00:07:43.300 So when Mark Zuckerberg testifies in front of the Senate,

00:07:46.540 zero Democrats ask a question about censorship.

00:07:49.180 When Jack Dorsey, when he was running Twitter,

00:07:52.060 none of the Democrats.

00:07:53.100 So you look at the Hunter Biden laptop where you had Twitter,

00:07:56.600 you had Facebook, you had big tech censoring it right before the 2020 election,

00:08:01.960 trying to shut it down.

00:08:03.340 You also had you had the corporate media shutting it down.

00:08:08.420 There was not a single Democrat who asked a single member of big tech about it.

00:08:12.840 They expressed no concern.

00:08:14.180 And by the way, we now know the story was true.

00:08:17.580 And that didn't matter.

00:08:19.480 But so free speech is a really powerful.

00:08:23.480 It is an issue that Democrats used to care about.

00:08:27.800 I mean, go back to the 1960s, go back to the Vietnam War.

00:08:31.520 And by the way, that touches on another issue.

00:08:34.580 You know, he talks about standing against war.

00:08:37.980 Listen, it's worth remembering when Donald Trump was president.

00:08:42.240 We had zero wars.

00:08:43.900 Yeah.

00:08:44.640 We had peace and prosperity across the globe.

00:08:48.120 Through strength.

00:08:49.060 Through strength.

00:08:50.460 With Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we have two simultaneous wars.

00:08:55.560 The biggest war in Europe since World War Two and the worst war in the Middle East in 50 years.

00:09:00.660 And the Democrats, they are in the business, number one, of being so weak that it invites aggression.

00:09:07.720 Weakness produces war because the bad guys are encouraged by it.

00:09:12.320 But then, number two, they live for, you know, what Kennedy would rightly call the military industrial complex.

00:09:19.780 By the way, that's a phrase that was initially popularized by Dwight D. Eisenhower, who knew something about the military, but also knew about the business of war.

00:09:30.020 And the Democrats, the Democrats seem to like to get us in wars and stay in wars and spend money and money and money and money.

00:09:36.800 And I do think Kennedy coming out and saying, hey, you know, give peace a chance.

00:09:43.860 That is significant.

00:09:45.540 Then I also think Kennedy's focus on the war on children, chronic diseases, and in particular, the corruption, the corruption of big pharma, the corruption that gets in government.

00:09:56.600 And listen, both parties bear some of the fault of this, but big pharma and the Democrat Party are in bed.

00:10:04.220 And it is, you look at the FDA, the FDA, for example, to get a new drug approved, it typically costs billions of dollars, the trials you have to go through.

00:10:17.440 And the consequence of that is really problematic because it means, for example, rare diseases.

00:10:23.560 Rare diseases almost never get any money invested in cures for rare diseases.

00:10:27.840 Because they can't make their money back.

00:10:29.080 Because they can't make their money back.

00:10:30.100 If it costs billions of dollars to invent a drug, if you don't have enough patience to justify billions of dollars as a matter of cost, then what happens is big pharma doesn't do that.

00:10:43.000 I was an original co-sponsor of Right to Try legislation, which Donald Trump signed.

00:10:49.300 I also am the author of a bill called the Results Act, which says that if another major developed country

00:10:56.060 has approved a pharmaceutical or a medical device, and so that's Europe, that's Canada, that's Japan.

00:11:03.840 So it's not some banana republic.

00:11:05.280 It's like real countries with real regulatory schemes.

00:11:09.160 If they've approved a drug or a medical device that the FDA has 60 days to approve it here,

00:11:16.180 and if they don't, it's automatically granted by operation of law.

00:11:19.440 That would dramatically change how approvals happen here.

00:11:24.260 Now, Big Pharma hates that.

00:11:26.620 But it is fundamentally wrong.

00:11:28.340 Did you ever see the movie Dallas Buyers Club?

00:11:29.940 Yes.

00:11:30.300 Oh, yeah, absolutely.

00:11:31.120 Matthew McConaughey, unbelievable movie and true story.

00:11:34.000 And the fact that he lost that much weight to play the character is still insane to me.

00:11:36.940 So, and as you know, I know Matthew McConaughey a little bit.

00:11:39.280 I've spent some time with him.

00:11:41.400 And I've talked to him about the movie.

00:11:42.980 And the movie is actually a profoundly conservative movie.

00:11:46.160 Yeah.

00:11:46.340 It's a true story about a Texan who was going down to Mexico and was going down to Mexico to get AIDS drugs.

00:11:54.080 Why?

00:11:54.620 Because they weren't legal here.

00:11:56.280 And he was bringing them up here and selling them.

00:11:59.360 And this was early in the AIDS crisis.

00:12:01.420 And it is wrong.

00:12:04.060 It is fundamentally wrong that our regulation should prevent you, particularly if you're facing a lethal disease.

00:12:13.160 Yeah, it was very clear death was coming on your doorstep.

00:12:15.920 Yeah, you ought to have the right to try and seek technology.

00:12:19.080 You shouldn't have to go to a foreign country.

00:12:21.460 All three of those issues are powerful.

00:12:24.520 And they all have constituencies that care about them.

00:12:27.680 And Kennedy is a really powerful voice for all three of them.

00:12:31.920 You look at what he had to say.

00:12:34.180 And there was that.

00:12:35.120 There was also, I think, part of it was the corruption of the Democratic Party.

00:12:38.740 And I want to play this clip and get your reaction because he just straight out called out what had happened to him.

00:12:43.740 He had done this.

00:12:44.460 And by the way, this isn't the first Democrat to be treated this way.

00:12:47.420 Bernie Sanders was treated this way before when they want to rig and fix an election.

00:12:51.860 And especially in a primary, Democrats, they do it.

00:12:54.980 They do it.

00:12:55.560 And we're seeing it now.

00:12:56.460 We don't even need a primary, right?

00:12:58.640 We're just going to decide who the person is.

00:13:00.880 And you get to vote for the person we tell you you get to vote for.

00:13:03.040 Look at this.

00:13:03.540 Instead of showing us her substance and character, the DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon, oh, nothing.

00:13:18.500 No policies.

00:13:20.020 No interviews.

00:13:21.700 No debates.

00:13:23.280 Only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly produced Chicago circus.

00:13:29.720 There in Chicago, a string of Democratic speakers mentioned Donald Trump 147 times just on the first day.

00:13:40.820 Who needs a policy when you have Trump to hate?

00:13:45.060 In contrast, at the RNC convention, President Biden was mentioned only twice in four days.

00:13:51.320 I mean, that says a lot.

00:13:53.300 And that's where I think some of his supporters were coming from.

00:13:57.060 Like, we want ideas.

00:13:58.180 We don't want a coronation.

00:13:59.280 We don't want just whoever you hand over to us and you don't listen to us and we're just expected to vote for that person if it's Kamala Harris. 0.94

00:14:06.100 And you see that happen.

00:14:07.520 And I think it's important that he said it that way because I think that's going to bring some supporters with him to the Trump side.

00:14:12.760 Look, I think that's right.

00:14:13.980 There's a lot of substance in what he said there.

00:14:16.060 And there are at least three different points that he's made.

00:14:18.980 Number one, when it comes to democracy, Democrats don't believe in democracy.

00:14:23.420 In fact, they despise democracy.

00:14:25.060 They believe in power.

00:14:26.460 Now, of course, that's why Democrats talk about democracy all day long.

00:14:30.700 You look at Kamala Harris, who is now their nominee.

00:14:33.360 There is literally not one human being on planet Earth who in 2024 voted for Kamala Harris to be the president.

00:14:39.840 And yet she is the nominee without a single voter having voted for her to be the presidential nominee.

00:14:47.020 That is stunning.

00:14:48.460 Another thing he says is he says he refers to the media as the DNC's their media organs.

00:14:58.800 Understand the level of corruption that we have, but that he's calling out that the corporate media and the Democrat Party, they are one in the same.

00:15:09.720 The media is an extension of the Democrat Party.

00:15:13.880 And in fact, the media is the left wing of the Democrat Party.

00:15:17.040 So so to the extent they ever criticize Democrats, it's for not being liberal enough.

00:15:22.180 It's to push them further and further and further left.

00:15:24.760 They are the communication arm of the Democrat Party.

00:15:27.880 And the media, the corporate media no longer pretends to be journalists.

00:15:30.700 They no longer have an aspiration to report the truth.

00:15:33.680 They no longer have an intention to report on both sides.

00:15:37.180 They are simply advocates and advocates for power.

00:15:41.140 The media does not.

00:15:42.760 You know, the Washington Post's motto is democracy dies in darkness.

00:15:46.500 Yeah.

00:15:47.240 As you and I have joked about, that has become a mission statement.

00:15:50.560 It is no longer a bad thing.

00:15:52.120 When it was written, the idea was we don't want democracy to die in darkness.

00:15:55.740 Now the Washington Post says our job is to keep it dark and kill democracy.

00:16:00.040 Do not let anything critical of the Democrats come out.

00:16:04.140 That is powerful.

00:16:05.360 And then the third point he made there.

00:16:07.880 Is the entire DNC convention had no substance.

00:16:12.340 None.

00:16:12.940 And that's not hyperbole.

00:16:14.240 Like legitimately, there was there were people on the street, you know, man on the street interviews afterwards where there was conservatives out there asking people, what is your favorite Harris policy to the delegates who were leaving every night?

00:16:27.420 Yeah.

00:16:27.780 They couldn't find a single delegate to come out and actually say what her policies even were, much less what their favorite one was. 0.99

00:16:35.380 And I love this because it's sad.

00:16:37.060 The media should have done that. 0.78

00:16:38.100 They obviously didn't.

00:16:38.960 Yeah.

00:16:39.060 Well, and listen, I think Friday's pod and if you didn't listen to Friday's pod, you ought to go back and listen to it because it was our analysis of Kamala Harris's speech.

00:16:48.700 And we described it as as vapid, radical.

00:16:54.220 Yes.

00:16:55.360 Disconnected from reality and dangerous as hell.

00:16:57.440 And the vapid part of it.

00:17:00.360 Look, the first half of her speech was kind of nice, fuzzy biography.

00:17:05.000 It turns out she likes her mom.

00:17:06.760 Yep.

00:17:07.720 It turns out that kittens are nice.

00:17:10.340 It turns out that, you know, neighbors helping neighbors.

00:17:14.660 Every word of that could frankly have been given by any candidate on planet Earth in either party.

00:17:20.000 Right.

00:17:20.420 Any Republican, any Democrat.

00:17:22.740 A.K.A. no substance.

00:17:23.960 Kumbaya.

00:17:24.240 No substance at all.

00:17:25.940 It's just I'm I'm for nice, fuzzy things.

00:17:28.040 That's the first half of it.

00:17:29.740 To the extent she got into any policy, she got into a few radical policies.

00:17:33.480 Like it turns out the Democrats are all abortion all the time.

00:17:37.000 No limits whatsoever.

00:17:38.140 That's what we stand for.

00:17:39.520 Look, the disconnected from reality point that we made on Friday is really important.

00:17:44.760 The entire Democrat convention was given as if Kamala Harris is the challenger.

00:17:48.880 Yeah.

00:17:49.100 With no acknowledgement that she is the sitting vice president.

00:17:52.460 And by the way, down the hall is theoretically the president.

00:17:56.040 Joe Biden may not know that, but but but he is at least he's still the person who can push the button and annihilate the human race right now.

00:18:04.760 Think how terrifying that is.

00:18:06.040 He might think it's it's the rewind button on the on the remote control.

00:18:09.680 But he is theoretically the commander in chief right now.

00:18:14.140 And the entire speech when she stands up and says, if you elect me, I will solve inflation.

00:18:19.140 Well, OK, you're in office now.

00:18:22.040 What the hell are you doing today?

00:18:23.380 Yeah.

00:18:23.780 You know, if you're in office was almost four years ago.

00:18:26.160 If you elect me, I will secure the border.

00:18:28.660 You've been the border czar for four years.

00:18:30.920 What the hell have you been doing for four years?

00:18:32.700 And if you intend to do it, why don't you do it now?

00:18:36.220 And that's what Kennedy is saying, is that not a word of the convention was about actual policy.

00:18:42.900 That she intends to do.

00:18:46.500 And instead, as he rightly said, it was all about Trump, bad, Trump, bad, Trump, bad.

00:18:50.540 That that was the entire message is we hate Trump.

00:18:54.880 And yet and the party as a whole.

00:18:58.520 What they're really unified behind is power.

00:19:00.840 They want to stay in power.

00:19:03.040 And I want you to listen to this next segment from RFK.

00:19:06.080 Because it really does break down the utter corruption of the media and how the media and the DNC, they are one in the same.

00:19:14.720 Give a listen.

00:19:15.780 President Biden.

00:19:17.940 Mark Vladimir Putin's 88 percent landslide in the Russian elections, observing that Putin and his party controlled the Russian press and that Putin prevented serious opponents from appearing on the ballot.

00:19:32.720 But here in America, the DNC also prevented opponents from appearing on the ballot.

00:19:38.900 And our television networks exposed themselves as Democratic Party organs.

00:19:44.660 Over the course of more than a year in a campaign where my poll numbers reached at times in the high 20s, the DNC-aligned mainstream media networks maintain a near perfect embargo on interviews with me.

00:20:00.840 That that's shocking.

00:20:02.460 But also, I've witnessed this when I was a conservative at CNN.

00:20:08.720 They would just say, don't ever allow that person back on the air.

00:20:11.280 Don't interview that person.

00:20:12.860 We we were told explicitly when I was there that if you went on the air and you discussed the laptop, you would basically be banished from the airwaves.

00:20:21.920 This is very real.

00:20:23.520 I've witnessed it on the inside.

00:20:25.480 And by the way, it's the corporate leadership.

00:20:28.400 It's why I refer to them, I will never use the phrase mainstream media because there is nothing remotely mainstream about the Marxists who are running these media companies.

00:20:39.320 And the phrase I always use is corporate media and usually corrupt corporate media, because what I didn't understand and you've seen firsthand, it's the suits.

00:20:47.640 It's the CEO.

00:20:48.460 No, it's the head of the news division that make the decision.

00:20:51.680 This is the position of NBC.

00:20:53.600 This is the position of CNN.

00:20:55.920 We support.

00:20:57.220 We are the Kamala Harris angel brigade where we sing her hosannas.

00:21:04.380 And look.

00:21:05.960 Joy.

00:21:06.480 Let's go back.

00:21:07.220 Joy, joy, joy, joy.

00:21:08.640 Joy was the whole convention.

00:21:09.760 And then remember when J.D.

00:21:11.020 Vance, it was everyone started using the word weird all at the same time.

00:21:14.300 And I want people to understand this is how coordinated these media organizations are.

00:21:18.200 It's not organic.

00:21:18.720 It's not like they hear it on ABC that I thought we should use it.

00:21:21.620 It is literally the morning message. 0.66

00:21:22.760 OK, everyone here today, we say Republicans are weird.

00:21:26.220 OK, everyone here today, we say joy. 0.91

00:21:29.080 And the hosts are just sort of puppets in this.

00:21:33.080 Now, they all take orders.

00:21:34.460 They all salute.

00:21:36.460 But, you know, it is stunning.

00:21:38.620 And Kennedy talked about, he said his numbers got to the high 20s.

00:21:41.640 I don't think I saw them in the high 20s, but I can tell you for much of the past years,

00:21:45.420 they were in the teens.

00:21:46.400 Yeah, they were they were in the teens for a long time.

00:21:50.940 That's a big chunk of votes. 0.68

00:21:53.520 Why did the corporate media not want him on?

00:21:55.420 It's real simple because it hurt Joe Biden.

00:21:58.040 Yeah, they want a coronation of Joe Biden.

00:21:59.860 It is.

00:22:00.600 They wanted Biden to win.

00:22:01.900 And anyone listening to Bobby Kennedy and he would say something negative about Joe Biden.

00:22:07.520 And that was not to be allowed.

00:22:09.240 That's not the job of journalism.

00:22:11.580 That is.

00:22:12.180 It's interesting.

00:22:12.840 You know, Kennedy invoked Putin.

00:22:14.680 That is how Pravda works.

00:22:16.820 Yeah, that is how in dictatorships the media works is we will not allow dissent.

00:22:23.280 And it ties right back into the First Amendment point.

00:22:26.600 The media doesn't believe in the First Amendment.

00:22:28.380 There's nobody in the media who's upset about censorship.

00:22:31.520 I mean, think what an amazing statement that is.

00:22:34.460 There's an incredible story, Yeltsin, and I love going back and reading history.

00:22:38.780 I was reading this a couple weeks ago just as reminders.

00:22:41.560 I go back and I'm like, hey, what was happening in other countries and comparing it to here?

00:22:45.040 When Yeltsin had his final re-election, he was at one point about two or three percent favorability in Russia.

00:22:53.620 This was and they were trying to figure out the oligarchs in Russia.

00:22:58.200 How do we keep this guy in office?

00:23:00.020 Because if we go back to communism, we lose all of this money, all of this private sector.

00:23:06.120 We've been able to, you know, to grab up when that when everything fell in the USSR. 0.52

00:23:10.160 And so there was two oligarchs that controlled 99 percent of the media.

00:23:15.300 They actually hated each other.

00:23:17.000 And they got together and they agreed, we're going to prop up Yeltsin. 0.91

00:23:20.300 And they just went out there every day and they used, they had 99 percent penetration of the homes in Russia.

00:23:26.060 Are those guys running CNN now?

00:23:27.360 That's the whole point.

00:23:28.340 But they literally took a guy, Yeltsin, that was at two to three percent rating with the people in Russia

00:23:33.220 and got him to another victory so they could keep all that they had gained from this country.

00:23:37.980 It's no different than what you're watching here.

00:23:40.120 It's exactly what they've done to Kamala. 0.97

00:23:42.380 And understand, the Democrats, they all know they are corrupt.

00:23:47.420 They know this is about power.

00:23:49.360 I want you to watch Gavin Newsom.

00:23:50.820 I want you to watch Gavin Newsom.

00:23:52.640 We rarely show lefty pods, but this is Pod Save America.

00:23:56.340 And tell who's on this pod for people that don't know.

00:23:58.660 So this is the lefty pod of all the Obama bros.

00:24:02.000 So this is the core.

00:24:03.720 Senior people with Obama.

00:24:04.480 You know, Obama's top speechwriter, his campaign manager.

00:24:07.160 These are the people that were integral in Obama's campaigns and integral in his White House.

00:24:13.180 They're on with Gavin Newsom.

00:24:15.040 And give a look, give a listen to what they think about Kamala's coronation.

00:24:21.300 There's an intangible.

00:24:22.220 It's different.

00:24:22.880 How are you feeling about the switch?

00:24:24.620 I mean, the switch.

00:24:26.480 Now we went through a very open process, a very inclusive process.

00:24:30.620 It was bottom up.

00:24:31.860 I don't know if you know that.

00:24:33.180 Yes, that's what I've been told to say.

00:24:34.520 Yes, it was a blitz primary, I believe, is what they called it.

00:24:38.060 It was a very, very fast blitz.

00:24:39.940 I think it was a blitz primary.

00:24:41.400 So we saw that.

00:24:42.000 Oh, a 30-minute convention.

00:24:44.220 Yeah.

00:24:44.520 You know, between a tweet and another tweet.

00:24:47.120 It's amazing how it happened.

00:24:48.020 Yeah, it's been amazing.

00:24:48.880 But what is amazing is how unified everybody is.

00:24:51.660 I mean, it's next level.

00:24:53.160 They're mocking democracy.

00:24:54.740 They're mocking your vote.

00:24:56.440 So, and I want to say something.

00:24:58.380 So this is one of the pods that we do on video also.

00:25:01.640 So every pod we do is on audio, and typically about a third of them are on video as well.

00:25:06.460 If you haven't watched the video, this would be a good one to go to YouTube and watch.

00:25:10.220 Because seeing that image, look, the first thing that jumps off is those are four rich white boys.

00:25:16.720 That is Miracle Whip. 1.00

00:25:18.980 That is mayonnaise, rich, pasty white guys laughing. 0.89

00:25:24.320 The VP wouldn't like them, because I'm sure some of them went to, like, Harvard or Yale.

00:25:27.200 Oh, no, no, but that's okay.

00:25:28.800 If you're a Marxist, it's okay.

00:25:30.800 Then you learned what you're supposed to learn at Harvard or Yale. 0.97

00:25:33.520 It's only if you actually believe in liberty, if you believe in capitalism, then you're horrible. 0.99

00:25:38.940 But listen, the utter hypocrisy. 0.67

00:25:42.520 They are laughing about, ha, ha, ha, we had a process. 0.84

00:25:45.560 They called it the switch.

00:25:46.140 The switch.

00:25:47.260 And they said, oh, 30 minutes.

00:25:49.000 We just decided.

00:25:49.900 Boom.

00:25:50.480 And then you see as they're all laughing about how corrupt we are.

00:25:54.380 We made the decision.

00:25:55.440 She'll be the nominee. 1.00

00:25:56.620 Voters, you shut up. 0.99

00:25:58.040 There is no democracy in our party. 0.99

00:25:59.980 And then you see Gavin Newsom.

00:26:01.500 Oh, but we're all unified.

00:26:03.920 Duh.

00:26:04.560 Yes, comrade.

00:26:05.520 We're all unified.

00:26:06.760 And they all immediately back to our talking points, talking points.

00:26:10.620 Everyone's unified behind Kamala.

00:26:12.520 That is our talking point.

00:26:13.920 And they know it.

00:26:16.500 It's not like they're unaware.

00:26:19.040 They know that that democracy is just a talking point that they trot out when they want to.

00:26:26.860 But they don't actually believe in democracy.

00:26:28.840 And in fact, they mock democracy.

00:26:30.840 They laugh at democracy.

00:26:33.240 And the Democrat Party, their central organizing principle is power, is staying in power.

00:26:40.380 It is why, look, their single biggest policy vulnerability is the open borders that Kamala Harris's borders are, has been in charge of for four years.

00:26:49.280 I've had people ask me, well, why would the Democrats allow this horribly unpopular policy?

00:26:54.220 You would think you would think that they would just like for for PR not want to do that.

00:26:59.620 And the reason is they see 11 and a half million illegal immigrants and they think these are Democrat voters.

00:27:05.180 This is how we stay in power and staying in power is what matters. 0.92

00:27:09.000 Even if people have to die, even if migrants have to die, even if Americans have to be murdered, children can have to be assaulted, women have to be raped, all of that they're willing to do to stay in power. 0.75

00:27:24.480 That cynicism is profound. 0.98

00:27:27.100 It is.

00:27:28.000 And it's the party right now.

00:27:30.500 I want to tell you about our friends over at Ammo Squared.

00:29:21.740 So let's talk about the politics of this now.

00:29:25.040 And you look at swing states, and this is my theory.

00:29:29.220 You can tell me if you think I'm right or wrong.

00:29:31.060 He was polling in most swing states, I'm referring to RFK Jr., anywhere between about 4% to 7%.

00:29:39.180 If he's able to keep 40% to 50% of his supporters and they go over to Trump, that's a legitimate 2% to 3% points in swing states.

00:29:51.100 That is the difference, Senator, between winning and losing in a general election cycle.

00:29:57.400 This could be massive for Donald Trump.

00:29:59.980 This could have enormous impact, and we'll break the numbers down in a second, but you're right.

00:30:04.820 But let me, before we get into the exact numbers, let's actually just talk about this in the macro level.

00:30:09.720 Now, Bobby Kennedy is the son of the late Bobby Kennedy, who would have been president had he not been assassinated on the presidential campaign trail.

00:30:24.780 Yes.

00:30:25.660 Bobby Kennedy is the nephew of JFK, who obviously was president and tragically was assassinated as president.

00:30:34.040 There is no greater Democratic royalty than the Kennedys and Bobby Kennedy Jr. in particular.

00:30:47.460 That is, for Bobby Kennedy to be endorsing the Republican candidate for president is massive.

00:30:57.160 And do you know when the last time was that a Kennedy supported a Republican in a campaign?

00:31:04.040 I'm going to go back in ancient history.

00:31:06.000 I want you to listen to this interview with Richard Nixon.

00:31:10.000 Let's go back to 1950.

00:31:12.200 Give a listen as Nixon talks about it.

00:31:14.680 In 1950, he came into the outer office.

00:31:20.220 My secretary buzzed and said, Congressman Kennedy is here.

00:31:25.000 And so, of course, he came right in and he handed me an envelope.

00:31:27.740 He said, you know, I know you've got a tough campaign against Helen Gahagan Douglas and the family would like to contribute.

00:31:34.800 So he handed it to me and there was a thousand dollars in cash.

00:31:38.720 Later on, I think it was quite embarrassing to him.

00:31:41.060 And he wanted it made very clear that the contribution was from his father and not for him personally.

00:31:46.600 But he was delivering it.

00:31:47.880 There was no question that whose side he was on.

00:31:50.460 And later on, after the election, when he was speaking at Harvard, he said that he was not unhappy about my defeating Helen Gahagan Douglas because he had not found her one that he liked to work with in the Congress of the United States.

00:32:02.880 Do you think that the money was, in fact, from him or was it from his father?

00:32:07.400 It doesn't make any difference.

00:32:08.660 The Kennedy money is all in one pot.

00:32:10.340 And he got he had a chance to get I think, let me put it this way, unless he had wanted me to beat Helen Gahagan Douglas, that money would never have come because I didn't know his father at that time.

00:32:23.420 I'm sure what happened is that he told his father that, well, this is one of the coming lights here.

00:32:29.020 And his father was anti-communist and felt because of what I had done in his case, which was already under the belt at that point, that he'd like to be on that side.

00:32:38.140 And he said, no, I don't think he was an errand boy for his father.

00:32:41.260 The money may have come from his father, but he wanted it done, too.

00:32:44.200 There was no question about that.

00:32:45.800 He was on my side in that campaign.

00:32:48.140 I mean, that's that's a piece of history that I hope everyone.

00:32:51.440 And like you said earlier, if you're not getting to watch this, if you're listening to audio only of this one, go watch this on YouTube, because that's a really cool piece of history to see.

00:32:59.920 Yeah, the video is is is amazing. And it's Nixon describing how JFK supported him in Nixon's Senate race when he was running for the Senate in California in 1950 against Helen Gahagan Douglas, who was a very, very left wing Democrat.

00:33:17.980 And JFK showed up, number one, with a thousand bucks cash.

00:33:21.480 And so JFK is this young congressman. He shows up with a thousand bucks cash.

00:33:25.980 Now, that's illegal today. Actually, you can't bag man like that.

00:33:29.780 You can't bring. So and it was it.

00:33:31.920 Some of this came out of Watergate and came it came out of all of that.

00:33:34.580 You had the initial campaign finance laws that you can't now accept that much money in cash.

00:33:40.660 It has to be a check or it has to be a credit card or it has to be Bitcoin, but it can't be.

00:33:46.260 You're not allowed.

00:33:47.480 I actually had a campaign rally where a guy came up to me yesterday.

00:33:56.080 You were there with five one hundred dollar bills and said, here, I want to give you five hundred dollars for your campaign.

00:34:01.320 And I had to tell him, I said, thank you, sir.

00:34:03.460 I'm not allowed to accept that under the FEC rules.

00:34:06.260 I'm not allowed to accept that much cash.

00:34:08.440 You can give it as a check. You can give as a credit card.

00:34:10.760 But I can't take that. And I made him keep his money.

00:34:13.960 I mean, I don't I don't know if he ended up giving or not, but it was an interesting moment.

00:34:17.560 It is an interesting moment.

00:34:20.180 And by the way, that was a thousand dollars in 1950.

00:34:24.740 How much is that today?

00:34:26.140 I mean, to put it in perspective, it's a lot.

00:34:28.540 Well, I actually ran the numbers and a thousand dollars in 1950 today is thirteen thousand fifty one dollars and forty five cents.

00:34:36.100 That's how much the Kennedys wanted him to win.

00:34:38.040 Thirteen grand that JFK delivered to support Nixon in his Senate race in 1950.

00:34:46.540 And I don't know of another instance when a Kennedy has supported a Republican, certainly not in as high profile a race as the presidential race.

00:34:57.780 So Bobby Kennedy supporting Donald Trump.

00:35:00.820 Wow. Like, holy cow.

00:35:03.360 It's been seventy four years since this has happened.

00:35:05.780 Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders and the world around them. 0.97

00:35:12.880 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.

00:35:16.600 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:35:17.780 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:35:19.000 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.

00:35:28.500 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.

00:35:31.500 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcast.

00:35:35.780 When you look now at these swing states moving forward, and I think there's two takeaways that are going to be political knowledge.

00:35:44.200 If I was doing a class, teaching a class in a couple of years, I would bring this up immediately.

00:35:49.020 What did you learn from this endorsement?

00:35:51.420 Number one, I think Americans are very much open to a cabinet that just isn't one sided for one part of the other.

00:35:58.780 And that you should look for ways to reach across the aisle because it can bridge the gap.

00:36:02.960 And I think this is proof of this with the way that the reaction has been and how terrified Democrats are of this endorsement.

00:36:08.860 Number one.

00:36:09.500 But number two, I also think it tells you how important it is to listen to maybe some of the smaller candidates who are running, whether it's listening to someone like a Buchanan or a Nader or even a Bernie Sanders.

00:36:22.160 I think Democrats have done a bad job not incorporating some of that younger Phil the Bern into some of their later campaigns.

00:36:28.820 Hillary Clinton really pissed off the Bernie Sanders people in a major way when she was running. 1.00

00:36:34.900 And I think that's part of history that people haven't looked at so much is that, hey, you got to make sure that you're if you're a Democrat, even if there's someone you don't like, you might want to have a bigger conversation with them.

00:36:45.300 So, yes, and no, I actually think in many ways Bernie Sanders prevailed in that race.

00:36:50.120 Why?

00:36:50.560 Because his agenda became the Democrat Party agenda.

00:36:53.700 Yeah, but didn't she have disdain in it afterwards? 0.91

00:36:56.160 Oh, look, Hillary did and I assume does. 0.99

00:36:59.720 And there's no doubt they treated Bernie and his coalition.

00:37:03.220 They treated them like peasants.

00:37:04.700 They gave him the back of the hand because the Democrat Party is all about power, power, power.

00:37:08.900 But my point is Bernie's positions were fringe a decade ago.

00:37:13.360 Now they're in mainstream.

00:37:14.200 That they are now the heart.

00:37:16.480 Every one of Bernie's positions is what Kamala Harris supports, that they are one in the same.

00:37:21.980 And when Trump became president, what it did is it radicalized the Democrat Party and they ended up adopting Bernie's policies.

00:37:29.000 But look, you want to understand how big a deal the RFK junior endorsement is?

00:37:35.320 Just flip it.

00:37:37.280 So the media is saying all day long, it's not a big deal.

00:37:40.280 It's not a big deal.

00:37:40.860 It doesn't matter.

00:37:41.380 It doesn't matter.

00:37:41.860 It doesn't matter.

00:37:42.340 It doesn't matter.

00:37:42.860 They're so desperate to convince you of that.

00:37:46.140 That ought to tell you something.

00:37:47.400 Just flip it and ask yourself if Bobby Kennedy yesterday had endorsed Kamala Harris.

00:37:53.620 24-7 news coverage.

00:37:54.800 I promise you CNN went and dumped out of it, which is what they did when they were covering him saying he was dropping out of the race.

00:37:59.980 So repeat that.

00:38:01.900 Yeah.

00:38:02.200 Literally during his speech, CNN cut it off.

00:38:05.420 By the way, MSNBC aired the speech with no audio.

00:38:09.760 They had their commentators talking over it.

00:38:11.320 So you could see Bobby Kennedy was talking, but they thought it was more important to hear the lefties saying the words coming out of Kennedy's mouth do not matter.

00:38:19.200 Pay no attention.

00:38:20.200 You cannot listen to this.

00:38:22.600 They are terrified.

00:38:24.040 And if Kennedy had endorsed Kamala, it would be 24-7.

00:38:29.520 It would be the race is over.

00:38:31.040 This is the final.

00:38:32.360 This broke the back of Trump.

00:38:34.940 Dance in the street.

00:38:35.940 Dance in the street.

00:38:36.800 In fact, call off the election in November.

00:38:38.740 We don't even need an election.

00:38:40.320 Game over.

00:38:41.480 Let's break some of the numbers down.

00:38:42.720 So I have here Tony Fabrizio, who is Trump's pollster, put out a memo just breaking down what's the impact of the RFK Jr. endorsement.

00:38:51.760 And if you go through the swing states, all right, I'm going to go through each of them, seven states.

00:38:56.260 So Arizona, RFK Jr.'s current share of the vote right now is 5%.

00:39:01.360 The breakdown within Arizona of the Kennedy vote, how much of it supports Trump, how much of it supports Harris?

00:39:10.860 In Arizona, it's 53% supports Trump, 28% supports Harris.

00:39:16.620 That's a delta of 25%.

00:39:19.900 That's a ton of votes.

00:39:21.820 If you assume the Trump-supporting Kennedy votes will now vote for Trump, that's a big chunk.

00:39:28.460 How about Georgia?

00:39:29.320 Georgia, Kennedy has 3%, and the delta is 47% for Trump, 34% for Harris.

00:39:36.200 That's a delta of 13%, again favoring Trump.

00:39:38.920 Michigan, Kennedy has 4% of the vote.

00:39:42.520 The delta there is 43% for Trump, 41% for Harris.

00:39:46.420 That's the closest, but even that's plus 2% for Trump.

00:39:50.180 How about North Carolina?

00:39:51.340 North Carolina, Kennedy has 3%, but the breakdown there, 58% for Trump, 22% for Harris.

00:39:58.420 That's a delta of 36% for Trump.

00:40:02.240 Nevada.

00:40:02.880 Nevada, Kennedy has 4%.

00:40:04.880 The delta between the two, all right, this is going to be stunning.

00:40:07.920 What do you think the delta is between the two?

00:40:10.060 I mean, it's got to be in the teens, I would assume, because of taxes.

00:40:15.440 It's much, much higher than that.

00:40:17.360 Really?

00:40:17.660 Trump, 66%, Harris, 16%.

00:40:23.320 The delta is 50%.

00:40:26.660 Is that because of the tax issue there?

00:40:28.500 I don't know why it is.

00:40:30.000 I'm just reading the numbers from Fabrizio's memo, so it doesn't say why.

00:40:34.220 Let me do the last two swing states, Pennsylvania.

00:40:37.220 Kennedy has 4% of the vote.

00:40:40.280 Trump has, of that 4%, Trump has 49%.

00:40:43.500 Harris has 35%.

00:40:44.760 That's a delta of 13%.

00:40:47.420 And finally, Wisconsin.

00:40:51.200 Kennedy has 4% of the vote.

00:40:53.860 Trump has 55% of that share.

00:40:56.860 Harris has 25% of that share.

00:40:58.920 That is a delta of plus 30%.

00:41:02.060 What does all of that mean?

00:41:03.620 It means the impact is very possibly one to two to three points in Trump's direction in each of those swing states.

00:41:14.220 That is a big, big deal in an election that could easily be decided by one or two percentage points.

00:41:22.400 This endorsement could very possibly change the outcome of the election.

00:41:27.420 I think a week ago, after a month of relentless media propaganda, according to the public polling, Kamala Harris was winning in all the swing states but Georgia,

00:41:39.480 which would suggest if the election had happened a week ago that Kamala would have won. 1.00

00:41:45.220 If these numbers move 2% or 3% towards Trump, it could well be the difference that gives Trump the election in November.

00:41:51.800 I want to pull back the curtain a little bit, and in campaigns, when you're running for president, you have daily surrogate calls.

00:41:58.900 And it's the campaign, usually senior staff, that runs them, and they kind of give out some data or the talking points of what we're doing today, what the messaging is today.

00:42:06.780 And by the way, you've done that.

00:42:07.820 Yeah, yeah.

00:42:08.160 You were on the 2004 George W. Bush re-elect.

00:42:11.280 You were part of the media team.

00:42:12.440 So you've actually been part of those calls.

00:42:14.860 Yes, and they're fun because some days they're just kind of like you check the box.

00:42:19.220 Like, not a lot's changed from the day before, but you do it, and it's like, hey, we're still on this, or hey, there's a story or this data point, or make sure if you're on TV, you mention this.

00:42:26.720 So I'm on the Trump ones now.

00:42:29.700 And I can tell you just the feeling on the call, the excitement with this endorsement, with this big guest that they were having at the rally, and everybody knew what it was.

00:42:40.160 Like, it's not hard to figure it out.

00:42:41.640 You knew it was going to be this.

00:42:43.540 It was different, and it was all about these swing states.

00:42:46.220 And I tell people this because, like, you do those calls every day, and they become the same, in a sense.

00:42:51.640 There are certain days where things are different, and this was one of those days where it just felt different.

00:42:57.120 Well, and listen, what Kennedy did this cycle was a big deal.

00:43:01.200 Getting on the ballot all across the country, it is hard to get on the presidential ballot as an independent candidate.

00:43:07.320 He got, he said there are over a million signatures.

00:43:09.980 Those are a bunch of people that were energized, that were inspired, that were excited.

00:43:13.460 Now, not all of them are going to vote for Trump, but if a majority of them, if a significant majority do, that's a big deal, and it is why the corrupt corporate media desperately wants you not even to know about it and not to care.

00:43:28.540 I mentioned earlier a company named Patriot Mobile, and I can tell you right now I've got my cell phone, and I have Patriot Mobile.

00:43:34.960 Why did I switch? Because every time I make a phone call, every time I send a text, and every time I pay my bill, I know I'm making an impact for what I believe in.

00:43:44.220 Because Patriot Mobile takes about 5% of my bill every month at no extra cost to me, and they give it back to organizations and causes that support the First and the Second Amendment rights of all of us.

00:43:55.460 They also do incredible work protecting the lives of unborn children.

00:43:59.860 And then there's another aspect. They stand with our first responders, they stand with our veterans, they stand with our wounded warriors, and they give back to projects that make a huge difference in their lives.

00:44:11.500 Now, that's amazing on its own, but why did Patriot Mobile get started more than a decade ago?

00:44:17.720 Because the liberals at Big Mobile were giving massive donations to democratic causes, candidates, and organizations, including those that are providing for abortions right now.

00:44:29.460 If you don't want your money going there, then take a bill you're going to have every month, and have it be with a company that stands up for what you believe in.

00:44:38.900 Check out Patriot Mobile, and I'm going to give you a free month of service.

00:44:43.340 All you've got to do is go to PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.

00:44:47.140 That's PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.

00:44:49.860 Or call them, 972-PATRIOT.

00:44:52.100 That's 972-PATRIOT right now.

00:44:54.860 And you're going to get a free month when you use the offer code VERDICT.

00:44:58.660 Join me and switch to America's only Christian conservative mobile provider, Patriot Mobile. 0.67

00:45:04.480 That's PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.

00:45:06.860 Or 972-PATRIOT.

00:45:09.020 You'll get a free month of service today, and switching is easy.

00:45:12.200 You can do it over the phone.

00:45:14.680 Senator, one last just point I've got to bring up, and I think it's an important one.

00:45:19.020 The Democratic Convention was so worried about people not watching on the final night when Kamala was going to be speaking that they just started putting out lies and leaks.

00:45:31.240 It made me laugh.

00:45:32.520 Don Lemon, for example, said, I have sources saying that either Taylor Swift's going to show up or Beyonce, or George W. Bush is going to speak at the Democratic Convention.

00:45:43.020 And then he says, stay tuned.

00:45:44.760 Like, clear propaganda.

00:45:46.500 George Bush was not showing up to endorse Kamala Harris.

00:45:49.460 No way in hell.

00:45:50.880 But then they had this Beyonce thing out there, or Taylor Swift out there, so the numbers would be massive watching the convention.

00:45:58.560 And it was all a lie.

00:46:00.060 Well, look, Don Lemon used to pretend to be a real journalist.

00:46:03.220 That's true.

00:46:03.580 And he just happily was pushing out propaganda.

00:46:06.800 I mean, the idea that George W. Bush was going to show up was always absurd and was laughable.

00:46:12.260 But you're right.

00:46:12.940 It was designed to get people to tune in, whether it was Taylor Swift or Beyonce.

00:46:16.760 They wanted to do something to draw up some excitement to get people to watch.

00:46:21.900 But, look, I've got to say that that night I was on Fox.

00:46:25.680 I was on Jesse Waters.

00:46:26.940 And I actually said, Jesse, I want to break some news.

00:46:29.500 So I have an internal leak from within the White House that has come out.

00:46:34.320 I know who the mystery guest is.

00:46:37.740 It's El Chapo.

00:46:39.580 El Chapo is going to address the convention.

00:46:43.160 And the reason is simple.

00:46:44.120 They were brainstorming who's benefited the most from Kamala Harris's policies.

00:46:49.900 And as they talked about it, they could not come up with anyone who has benefited more than Mexican drug lords.

00:46:55.860 Yeah.

00:46:55.960 And so El Chapo, I'm told, and again, this is a leak from the Biden White House, that Kamala personally raised the bail money to bail.

00:47:04.200 Yes, El Chapo's in jail, but she's very good at raising bail money for people in jail.

00:47:08.600 So they bailed him out to fly into Chicago to speak on stage and say, let me tell you, are you better off than you were four years ago?

00:47:17.700 To all my drug dealing compatriots, we are much better off.

00:47:21.600 So, si se puede.

00:47:24.560 Turned out my prediction was wrong, but boy, it would have been appropriate because it sure is accurate who's benefited.

00:47:29.840 No doubt about it.
