Speaker 1 (00:01):
All right, So we're going to answer this first question.
And I want to be clear about this as I
am taping this right now. It is an all out
war in Congress and this could change at any moment,
so I just want to make sure I timestamp this
so you understand. Over this Continuing Resolution, I am going
to break it down for you of what we have
seen so far, I'm going to break down for you
(00:24):
what is in the bill now. I want to be
very clear right now about what's happening and what's going
on here with this bill. And it is very clear
that Donald Trump is telling you you need to call
your congressman, you need to call your center. This includes Republicans, okay,
(00:44):
and tell them to stop expanding government and screwing you
the tax payer. Now, Donald Trump has made a statement.
I want you to hear what he had to say
this according to Fox News, take a listen.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
In the last couple of minutes, Donald Trump has told
Fox News he is quote totally against the proposed continuing
Resolution bill that has just been floated by Congress, and
a lot of people haven't had a chance to read it.
It's more than seventeen hundred pages, but that spending bill
is not sitting well with the president elect. Again, please
(01:19):
keep in mind that the House is controlled by Republicans,
so this is engendering a lot of storm and drawing
at the moment and considering, we do see a big
drop here. We do see the Nasdaq down six hundred
and forty eight points, SMP down one hundred and sixty three,
so maybe not entirely driven by the federal reserves saying
(01:41):
the economy is strong, so only two rate cuts next
year versus four.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Now, this is exactly why I said a moment ago,
it's time for you to call your congressman, specifically Republicans,
and say stop screwing us. Did you not pay attention
to what just happened in the last election side Michael.
Representative Annapolina Luna putting out this tweet earlier, voting no,
the cr is a terrible sandwich. Lots of my people
(02:07):
back home impacted by hurricane are calling my office. They
said they don't want everything attached to this bill. That
is just one example of what is out there right now,
and people are very upset about this. Many are upset
about it because there's billions in this bill.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It's continuing resolution for Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It also has mask and vaccine mandates in the bill,
and it has deep state immunity. This is a disaster
sixty billion for Ukraine. The unconstitutional force of courts to
protect Congress past and future blanket immunity for deep state.
Unconstitutional emergency powers are in this bill. There's a mask
(02:53):
and vaccine mandate, the gain of function research is in
this CR, vaccine passports all so appearing in this CR,
and funding of twelve different biolabs. This is what they
have stuck in there. And what do we get out
of it. Well, they're saying, we'll give you some hurricane
aid for those that are hurting right now. Which is
(03:15):
why I read for you that Anna Paulina line there
VI vic Ramaswami putting it out on X this way,
and it's a long statement, but it's important one and
I want to read it for you because this is
the guy that is helping with DOGE, which is actually
cutting down and cracking down on government overspending.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So this is what he wrote.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He said, quote, I wanted to read the full one thousand,
five hundred plus page bill that is now ballooned to
seventeen hundred pages since he put this tweet out and
speak with key leaders before forming an opinion. Having done that,
here's my view. It's full of excessive spending. The VIC writes,
special interest giveaways and pork barrel politics. If Congress wants
(03:57):
to get serious about government efficiency, they should vote no.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
In all caps.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Keeping the government open until March fourteenth will cost three
hundred and eighty billion by itself, but the true cost
of this omnibus cr is far greater due to new spending.
Renewing the Farm Bill for an extra year one hundred
and thirty billion, disaster relief one hundred billion, stimulus for
(04:25):
farmers ten billion, the Francis Scott key Bridge replacement eight billion.
The proposal adds at least sixty five cents of new
spending for every dollar of continued discretionary spending. Translation, this
is a massive expansion of government spending. I want to
(04:46):
read that again. The VIC Rameswami saying the proposal adds
at least at least this is, at the bare minimum,
sixty five cents of new spending for every dollar of
continued discretionary spending. Legislation will end up hurting many of
the people it purports to help. Debt fueled spending sprees
may quote feel good today, but it's like showering cocaine
(05:11):
on an addict. It's not compassion, it's cruelty. Farmers will
see more lands sold to foreign buyers when taxes inadvertently
rise to meet our obligations. Our children will be saddled
with crippling debt. Interest payments will be the largest item
in our national budget. Congress has known about this deadline
(05:31):
since they created it in late September. There's no reason
why this couldn't have gone through the standard process instead
of being rushed to a vote right before congressmen want
to go home for the holidays. The urgency, Vivic writes,
is one hundred percent manufactured and designed to avoid serious
(05:51):
public debate or scrutiny.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Right, no one's been able to read this bill.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Vivic actually read it, but it's expanded by two hundred paid,
which just apparently since he read it. He goes on
to say the bill could have easily been under twenty pages. Instead,
there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the
one thousand, five hundred and forty seven pages of this bill.
(06:18):
There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on
as a package deal by elame duck Congress. Seventy two
pages worth of pandemic preparedness and response policy, renewal of
the much criticized Global Engagement Center, a key player in
(06:38):
the federal censorship state, Seventeen different pieces of commerce legislation
paving the way for a new football stadium in DC
is in this continuing resolution, a pay raise for congressmen
and senators and making them eligible for federal employee health benefits.
(06:59):
Because they don't want to act, you have to deal
with Obamacare. It's indefensible to ram these measures through at
the last second without debate. We are grateful for DOJ's
warm reception on Capitol Hill. Nearly everyone agrees we need
a smaller and more streamlined federal government. But actions speak
louder than words. This is an early test the bill,
(07:23):
he says, should fail. Now, since he posted that at
the time that I'm recording this, that has been viewed
his message more than ten point five million times, and
I expect that number to be continuing to grow even
bigger and bigger. I'll give you another example of just
the total corruption in this bill. Walgreens to pay one
(07:46):
hundred and six point eight million for billing the US
government for prescriptions they never filled. From two thousand and
nine to twenty twenty, the pharmacy chain submitted fall claims
to Medicare and Medicaid, totaling one hundred and six point
eight million dollars. Walgreens are now pay more than one
(08:08):
hundred million to settle the claims against billing Medicare and
Medicaid with fraud. That is what is happening right now. Now,
let's also talk about what has been said by the speaker,
Speaker Johnson, and I'm holding his feet to the fire
because well, he.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Has lied to us.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The bill should fail, and you need to call your
congressman and tell them that. But I'm going to go
back to September of twenty twenty four. This is what
Speaker Johnson said in September of twenty twenty four, Okay,
just a few months ago, and he said then there
won't be a Christmas omnibus.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Listen, but overall with the CRS, as our leader just noted,
we have we have broken the Christmas omni and I
have no intention of going back to that tearable tree eddition.
So there won't be a Christmas omnibus. If somebody asked
me in the hallway a little while ago, will leave
you minibuses. We don't want any buses. We're not going
to do any buses.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Okay, now that was him in September. I'm going to
fast forward to this week. What is Speaker Johnson saying?
Now in December of the same year, he is saying,
everybody understands the necessity of this Christmas omnibus.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Listen, and we.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Got to get through this. So look, everybody understands the necessity.
It is not palatable. This is the sausage making part
of legislation that nobody likes. But we're governing and we'll
pick it up in January and start a brand new
day for America.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So, in other words, you're getting screwed right now. Here's
a question you should ask yourself before you call your
congressman or your senator and tell them to vote no.
Why do taxpayers have to foot the bill for the
Francis Scott Key Bridge?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
For example?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Shouldn't it operate of the ship or its insurance company
pay for that. They're the ones that took down that bridge.
Why should the American taxpayers have to pay for that
doesn't make any sense at all. I also will go
back to this. You look at what Elon and what
Vivic said, and if you're just using them for a
(10:11):
photo op, that's one thing.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But this CR is just total bs.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It allows for vaccines, mask mandates, vaccine passports, expanded emergency powers,
and gain a function research that has nothing to do
with what this Continuing Resolution should be about.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Every one of you listening.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Right now, every one of you, and I'm going to
go into more detail of what's in this bill in
a moment, but every one of you needs to call
your congressman and your senator. Two O two two two
four three one two one. That's two O two two
two four three one two one. Call Capitol Hill, call
your congressman, call your center, and tell them no on this.
(10:59):
This bill is massive. This is a betrayal of the
American public. It is a portrayal that all of us
should understand. And the House Republicans so far that have
announced that they will vote against this seventeen hundred page
spinning bill. Representative Nancy Mace, Wesley Hunt, Andy Biggs, Bob Good,
(11:21):
Paul Gosar, Ralph Norman, Tim Burchett and chip Rory that list.
I'm expecting it to go now, we need more knows.
Democrats are obviously going to vote yes on this. They
love this government spending. They're all in on it, they
all want it. But Speaker Johnson's decision to allow this
(11:41):
language into an omnibus bill is an egregious concession that
undermines accountability and transparency within the legislative process and by
including provisions that shield House data from disclosures. For example,
this is another problem here. This is operating in secret.
This would shield the House in the language they put
(12:04):
in this bill for disclosure and permit motions the squash subpoenas,
and what Speaker Johnson's doing now is enabling the very
mechanisms that delay justice. These protections will undoubtedly be weaponized
by the way to obstruct investigations in a misconduct, particularly
the actions of individuals like Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff
(12:25):
during the Manufacturer January the sixth hearings, and the language
serves no legitimate purpose beyond buying time for those who
manipulate their positions to push false narratives and vilify their
political opponents, which were conservatives.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Why the hell is this in the bill?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It is all a question that every single person should
be asking.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So what's in this bill? All right? Get ready to
take notes? And this is when I'll say it again.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Take the podcast, share this so people know what they
actually did. And I want to be Conservatives are a
part of this, okay, and I'm calling them out. Here
are some of the provisions drawing the biggest blowback from conservatives.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Members of Congress.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Are going to get a pay raise, yes, a actual
pay raise. Apparently right now, Congress saying we need a
pay raise for itself, and they snuck it in the
spending bill. As Americans struggle to make ends meet. This
one thousand, five hundred and seventy four page bill, known
as the CR, made sure that lawmakers currently earn a
(13:35):
base salary of one seventy four annually, with members and
leadership receiving a higher salary. If Biden signs a CR
into law, members of Congress are set to receive a
maximum salary increase of six six hundred dollars due to
the twenty twenty five cola of three point eight percent.
According to a press release from Maine Democrat Representative Jared Golden,
(13:57):
on Wednesday. The main Democrat is opposing the CR over
the pay ray's language in the bill, saying this is
just wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
If members of Congress had received every adjustment prescribed by
the ECI formula since nineteen ninety two, and the statutory
limitations regarding the percentage based pay increase for government employees
remained unchanged, the twenty twenty fourth salary would be two
hundred and forty three thousand, three hundred dollars, is what
(14:30):
they wrote in an article on lawmakers salaries with.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
The update in September.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
In addition, there are many Republicans that are supporting this.
So Congress is failing the American people again and giving
themselves a pay raise in the process.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I'll be voting no, is what Representative Eli Crane said
about this shocking move here to give a pay raise.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Now that's the beginning.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There's also a provision that allows lawmakers to opt out
of Obamacare and use the Federal Employees Health Benefit program instead.
Because they all know that Obamacare sucks, They've thrown that
in the omnibus as well with a CR. Also, language
on transparency in concert ticket pricing is in this bill
(15:20):
that actually is something I'm in favor of, so you're
getting that in there. There's also the federal government paying
the entire bill to bill to rebuild the Francis Scott
Key Bridge. Why are we having to pay for this?
This is port bal spending. There's also quote accountability for
recycling and composting fraud, whatever the hell that means. There's
(15:44):
a federal swine education program that would be on pigs,
a continuation of the woll Trust Fund until twenty twenty five.
If you want to know more about that, I'll put
a link on social media for you.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
It's just insane.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And they're going to pay for juvenile delinquents to get
their driver's licenses. Why the hell do I need to
be paying money for driver's license for people that are young.
I don't understand this. We're gonna pay for juvenile delinquents
to get their driver's license because you're irresponsible with a kid.
Let's give that kid a license so he can go
(16:21):
drive a car, because that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Also, in this.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Bill, the government will no longer be calling homeless adults
and children as homeless, so we're going woke. We're actually
banning the word homeless. So my producer, as much as
you want to say homeless in the future, or any
one of you listening right now, you're not allowed to
(16:47):
do that. If you're an official government position capacity writing
a bill.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
There is no such thing as homeless people anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
They're also extending a quote cheap marketing grant pro Graham
until twenty twenty five because apparently.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
We need to be marketing sheep now.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
And the Golden Engagement Center that's the State Department's office
which is dedicated specifically and explicitly towards censorship. It's going
to get another round of funding to censor people they
don't like. And if you want to get really angry,
this is where the pork barrel spending comes in.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Your tax dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
In this continuing resolution, are going to spend not one,
not two, but three million dollars to test the inspection
of molasses. I wish I was joking. I'm actually not.
This is real. This resolution is out and it's a
(17:45):
resolution that says we're going to spend three million dollars
to test the inspection of malasses. Now, these provisions and
more have many Republicans frustrated. You should be calling and
can this with your people in Congress, whoever your representative is. Quote,
(18:06):
This Continuing Resolution is a predictable result of Republican leadership
embracing swamp practices. It continues to fund more of the
same broken priorities Democrats wanted, and ignores the mandate voters
gave us to change course. Americans demanded a government that
secures the border and cut spending, not a continuation of
(18:29):
the swamp status.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
That is what Texas represented Michael Cloud said about this CR.
Arizona Representative Paul Gossar told The Daily Caller that there
is quote not a single provision worth supporting. In its totality,
The entire Continuing Resolution is complete garbage. It continues to
fund the government at Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden levels. It
(18:53):
gives members an undeserved pay raise, has zero offsets, was
negotiated behind closed doors, and is a liberals dream bill.
No physically responsible Republicans should vote for this piece of crap,
Congressman Gosar said in the statement. South Carolina Representative Ralph
(19:13):
Norman explained that the Continuing Resolution should have gone through
the Rules Committee so that there could have been a
debate on every provision. To put it lightly, this omnibus
is a wolf in sheep's clothing. For one, it should
have gone through the Rules Committee so that we could
debate and discuss every single line item. Instead, Republican leadership
(19:35):
decide to take the back door. He went on to say,
I'm deeply disturbed that Republican leadership is greenlighting billions more
of dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
With no offsets.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And I'm going to tell you even more about this
in a moment, But first I want to tell you
about Patriot Mobile. If you are like me and you
are tired of giving your money to organizations that are
fighting against your conservative and Christian values, and you really
need to look at your cell phone bill, you may
not realize that the Big Mobile for years has been
(20:07):
giving big donations to democratic causes, candidates, and radical organizations.
I'm talking about organizations that are paying for abortions on demand.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
That's not all.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
The Big Mobile has been giving donations to organizations that
also are in favor of defunding the police. And that's
another reason why you need to know where your cash
is going, and that's why you need to switch to
Patriot Mobile. Now, Patriot Mobile, I'm proud to say, I'm
a customer. I get the same great coverage that I
was used to before with Big Mobile, But when I
(20:41):
made the switch, I knew I was making a difference
every time I made a phone call, every time I
sent a text, and every time I paid my bill.
Because at Patriot Mobile, about five percent of your bill
every month is going to go back at no extra
cost to you, to organizations that are fighting for our
First and our Second Amendment rights, that are fighting for
the sanctity of life, that are helping with adoptions. And
(21:05):
then they also give money to our military, our first
responder heroes, and our wounded warriors. So you can take
a stand. Every time you pay a bill. You're gonna
have a cell phone bill, why not be with a
company that's fighting for your values. You're gonn get the
same cover you used too, because Patriot Mobile operates across
all three major networks. You'll have zero issues there and
(21:25):
they even have a coverage guarantee. Call them or go online.
I'm gonna give you a month free right now. Patriot
Mobile dot com slash ben that's Patriot Mobile dot com
slash ben, or you can call them nine to seven
to two Patriot that's nine seven to two Patriot right
now and get a free month when you use the
(21:45):
offer code Ben. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ben.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Now, let me be clear.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
We are in the situation that we're in right now
in this country where we have out of control spending
because no one will stand up and stop it. No
one will say no, no one says I'm not going
to allow this to happen. They all just throw in
all the crap that they want and they go with it.
They throw in everything they feel good about and they're like,
let's do this. They throw it all in there, and
(22:16):
they're like, yeah, this will work. And it's really really,
really really sad. But this is what we are doing now.
We have a government that is supposed to be run
by conservatives, and while the conservatives have power right now
in the House, they're like, now, let's just shell out
a bunch of cash, put Americans even more debt, and
then we'll act like we're fiscally conservative when we get
(22:37):
back in January and Donald Trump's the president.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I'm sorry, you can't have it both ways. How much time.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Now while all this is happening in the middle of
me literally recording this, we find out that Jerome Powell
at the Federal Reserve has come out doing a press
conference and Powe has said the economy is in a
really good place. Wall Street disagrees because, as he said
it Wall Street, the Dow was down three points. Fox
(23:08):
says Edward Lawrence asked him this question about the Fed
and interest rates and the economy.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
So, but now the Federal Reserve chairman back to talking
about inflation, adding he's feeling good about where they are
at the moment. Still, he dropped the word recalibration from
this news conference talking about interest rates as a Federal
Reserve now forecast two rate cuts next.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Year, not four.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
So I wanted to know where this rate cut train
is headed.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I think the markets are looking for for a little
more clarity. I mean, I've heard estimates from two point
nine percent to four percent, you know, and I think
the markets would like to see a little more clarity
about the year out eighteen months out as to where
that goalposts for lack of better terminus, because at the
moment it looks big.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, we you know, there are countless
models of what of what a neutral rate might be
at any given time. They're empirical models, are theoretical models.
There are things that combine them, and they have as
many different answers.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
As you'd like.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
So there is no real certainty. And I mean it's
actually a good thing to know that we don't know
exactly where it is. So you're not tempted to think, oh,
I think this model or this estimate is right. You
just have to be open to you know, the empirical
data that are coming in.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
And FED speak for there is no clarity as to
where they're actually going the Federal Reserve in this rate
cut cycle and where they may end up from this
weightcut cycle, something the markets obviously.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Didn't like as well.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I love that there is no clarity about where we're going.
So if you want to know who's in charge, this
is These are the people in charge, and this is
what they are doing to our economy. Many of you
may be doing your last minute Christmas shopping and I
want you to understand what we have just found out about.
Major corporations including Kia, TJ Max listed as corporate sponsors
(24:58):
of the Rainbow Line Library pushing transbooks on your children.
The retailers TJ Max and the automaker Kia are listed
as co sponsors of a program that is distributing the
LGBTQ themed books to k through twelve schools across the
(25:18):
United States. This according to a Wednesday report from the
conservative nonprofit Consumer Research obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Now,
the initiative, titled the Rainbow Library is run by national
LGBTQ plus activist organization, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education
(25:44):
Network known as g lse N.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
What does it do?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It sends participating teachers books that push transgenderism and homosexuality
onto kids as young as five. Over eight thousand, one
hundred schools in thirty three different states nationwide are now
participating in the program. Meaning there's a very good chance
(26:09):
that your kids or grandkids are at a public school
where this is actually in the library system and being
used in the classroom. Now, let me read you this quote.
TJ Max and Kia are pushing radical gender ideology on
kids through their sponsorship of the GLSEEN Rainbow Network, which
(26:33):
promotes transgender ideology and classrooms across the country through books
and recommended lesson plans for teachers. So it's not just
the books are available, it is actual lesson plans for
the teachers to then follow to then indoctrinate your children.
That is what will Hoild, Executive director of Consumer Research,
(26:54):
sent and a statement. By sponsoring organizations with a political
activist agenda like this organization in the Rainbow Library, these
companies are putting woke politics specifically ahead of their consumer base.
In other words, TJ Max and kir are hoping that
you won't find out that this is what they are
(27:15):
involved in. Now here's something else that you need to
understand as well. A spokesman for Kia has come out
understanding that they have walked into a major problem, and
they have denied in a statement that the auto company
sponsored the Rainbow Library in twenty twenty three or twenty
twenty four, but they did not respond to further inquiries
(27:37):
about why it was prominently displayed as a sponsor on
the GLSN website. I am looking at the website. It
is there right now. All right, now, let's go back
to the books for a moment, because this is what
you need to understand about these companies and what the doing.
(28:00):
When you go and shop at tjmac Slash Marshals, or
you go and buy Kiya kar I want you to
understand just how extreme they are in pushing transgenderism on
your kids or your grandkids. One of the books distributed
by Rainbow Library is titled When Aiden Becomes a Brother.
(28:21):
It tells the story of a black girl who becomes
or comes out as quote unquote transgender and quote explores
plural different ways of being a boy. The GLSN recommends
the story as part of its lesson plan for second graders.
(28:43):
According to the Rainbow Library website, a twenty twenty three
Pew Research Center study found that nearly seventy percent of
Black Americans believe gender is assigned at birth. Just to
put in perspective over what they're doing here. Book this time,
intended for first graders, is called My Rainbow. It depicts
(29:06):
a mother constructing a rainbow wig for her young transgender child.
Another book, entitled Quote, When we Love Someone, We Sing
to Them That is meant for third graders and tells
the story of a young boy singing to another young
(29:29):
boy in order to confess his love to that boy.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
When teachers request books from the Rainbow Library, they also
receive a quote toolkit telling them how to facilitate children
coming out as transgender with the gosse and educator Michael
Rady's stating in a twenty twenty one video that quote,
when a teacher or a librarian rolls out the Rainbow
(29:59):
Life Library in their location, students start coming out to
them because they see that adult as someone that they
can trust. The program also instructs the educators to keep
it confidential, in other words, hide it from the parents, right,
so that we can help indoctor nate this kid, saying
(30:22):
if a student comes out to them until they can
determine if the child is quote supported by the adults
in their life and in apparent reference to the child's parents.
So hey, keep it confidential, don't tell them anything, don't
talk about it. Just keep it quiet until we find
(30:42):
out exactly what's going on. This is what these organizations do.
This is what they give to your kids. This is
how they do it. And you look at Kia, you
look at TJ Max Marshall's, and they're like, hey, we're
making good money. We got a lot of mom that
are going in there and shopping. We got a lot
of people buying cars from us. So let's indoctrinate these
(31:05):
kids in this way, all right. So let's keep going
down this road so you understand. The nonprofit website sponsors
page identifies key in TJ Max's parent corporation, TJX Companies,
which is also the retailer that owns Marshalls, Home Goods
and Sierra as It's twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four
(31:26):
national partners that help make Rainbow Library possible. So it's
not just TJ Max you need to be boycotting this
Christmas season. It's Marshalls, it's Home Goods, it's Sierra unless
you want your kids turned into transgender children. Target, you
may remember we talked about this a year ago. They
(31:49):
came under fire for their partnership with the same organization
GLSEN That may be where you remember me saying this
name before They donated more than two million dollars.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
To the nonprofit.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Now, let me just go back to Target and remind
you quickly of that story. Not only did Target give
over two million dollars to this radical organization to indoctrinate children,
but back in May of twenty twenty three, the National
Education Association, and that is the US's largest teacher union,
also pledged their support for this radical organization called g
(32:29):
LS n now Tjmax companies participated in the Human Rights
Campaigns Corporate Equity Index. Now, what does that do. It's
like a seal of approval, all right. They assess the
corporations based on their commitment to the LGBTQ plus activism.
So it's not just like LGBTQ plus in general, it's
(32:52):
you have to be an activist company. The Human Rights
Campaign champions pediatric sex changes, so there's like, hey, it's
you guys. Can't just raise your an say we support,
You've got to be activists with your dollars and donations. Now,
facing pressure, a variety of corporations have started to roll
(33:14):
back their diversity equity inclusion initiatives in recent months, including
John Deere, Core's Brewing, Harley Davison, Ford and Low's. Now,
the only reason why they're doing this now is because
they're seeing that America is starting to wake up and
stand up and say we're tired of this woke ideology.
And that's exactly the reason why these corporations are now
(33:34):
doing it. About face, Republicans spend at least two hundred
and fifteen million critiquing progressive transgender ideology in the twenty
twenty four election cycle. So part of this was education
of the public by Republicans and be like this is insane.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I don't want to be a part of this now.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
According to data from ad tracking firms, they said that
one of the most effective ads was the one declared
I mean that Kamwa Harris is for it. They slash them,
they them, and President Trump is for you. That had
a huge impact on this election. Now, Keya's head of
corporate communications, and let's move to them for a second,
(34:14):
is a guy by the name of James Bell. James
Bell has come out denied the company had been a
sponsor of the Rainbow Library in twenty three or twenty four,
despite the automaker being prominently displayed on the program sponsor page.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
They understand how things are changed.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
They don't want to be listed on these lists that
I'm telling you about, which is why you need to
share this podcast and put it everywhere, all right. I
want to be clear about that. Grab our podcasts and
share it now. When the DNFC sent multiple follow up
inquiries asking why Keys listed as a twenty three to
twenty four school year sponsor if it did not sponsor
(34:51):
the nonprofit twenty three or twenty four, James Bell, of
Kea's head of corporate communications, literally stopped responding to The
Daily Caller. Additionally, James Bell's initial response did not answer
the majority of questions that came from the Daily Caller
and their inquiry, including when the company began funding the
(35:15):
Rainbow Library and if the company supports pediatric sex change
surgeries and hormonal treatments for children at a very young age. Also,
this is why sunlight is the best disinfectant. TJ Max
(35:36):
and G. Lsen did not respond to The Daily Caller's
requests for comment on this as well.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
So there's there's a couple of takeaways here. Number One,
they lied. Number two, they got busted.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Number Three, they're hoping that not enough people will find
out about the story that I just led with today.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
And some people ask me, like Ben, why didn't you
do like the.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Big headline of the day, Because you already know about
the bigger headline today, all right, and we're going to
talk about it. We're going to talk about all the
big headlines. But when I get stories like this, these
are the stories that I want to be a big headline.
So I'm going to ask you please get involved Okay,
share the podcasts, share this information and make sure everybody
(36:15):
knows it, because there's a lot of moms out there
that if I think they understood how radical the left
had become, they would not be saying by a Kia.
They would not be going to TJ Max or Marshalls
or Home Goods. These are stores that deserve to be
boycotted the same way that Target. And by the way
I called it with Target, what did I say to
you as my producer, I said it, moms were going
to go back to going to Target, even after the
(36:38):
radical agenda of Target to have like tucking swimsuits for
toddlers and binding swimsuits for young girls.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
And I said, you watch, There'll be some moms.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
That will stop going to Target for a little bit,
but the majority are going to come back. And that's
why Target is still giving two thousand in three thousand
and four thousand, whatever the number is of square feet
to their stores for hardcore LGBTQIA and doctor Nation.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
And support during the summer months. And I was right.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
You look at the stock value of Target, you look
at their sales numbers. They came down a little bit
after that controversy and then after the controversy kind of
moved on to other things what ended up happening. They
moved on, folks, they moved on, and they went right
back to shopping. Many mothers did, because Target's just so convenient,
(37:33):
and people are like, I don't want to go to Walmart,
so I'll go to Target. And that is now where
we are, all right. Make sure you share this podcast
as well. That helps tremendously get all this information to
everybody that's out there.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
And I will see you back here tomorrow
All right, So we're going to answer this first question.
And I want to be clear about this as I
am taping this right now. It is an all out
war in Congress and this could change at any moment,
so I just want to make sure I timestamp this
so you understand. Over this Continuing Resolution, I am going
to break it down for you of what we have
seen so far, I'm going to break down for you
(00:24):
what is in the bill now. I want to be
very clear right now about what's happening and what's going
on here with this bill. And it is very clear
that Donald Trump is telling you you need to call
your congressman, you need to call your center. This includes Republicans, okay,
(00:44):
and tell them to stop expanding government and screwing you
the tax payer. Now, Donald Trump has made a statement.
I want you to hear what he had to say
this according to Fox News, take a listen.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
In the last couple of minutes, Donald Trump has told
Fox News he is quote totally against the proposed continuing
Resolution bill that has just been floated by Congress, and
a lot of people haven't had a chance to read it.
It's more than seventeen hundred pages, but that spending bill
is not sitting well with the president elect. Again, please
(01:19):
keep in mind that the House is controlled by Republicans,
so this is engendering a lot of storm and drawing
at the moment and considering, we do see a big
drop here. We do see the Nasdaq down six hundred
and forty eight points, SMP down one hundred and sixty three,
so maybe not entirely driven by the federal reserves saying
(01:41):
the economy is strong, so only two rate cuts next
year versus four.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Now, this is exactly why I said a moment ago,
it's time for you to call your congressman, specifically Republicans,
and say stop screwing us. Did you not pay attention
to what just happened in the last election side Michael.
Representative Annapolina Luna putting out this tweet earlier, voting no,
the cr is a terrible sandwich. Lots of my people
(02:07):
back home impacted by hurricane are calling my office. They
said they don't want everything attached to this bill. That
is just one example of what is out there right now,
and people are very upset about this. Many are upset
about it because there's billions in this bill.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
It's continuing resolution for Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
It also has mask and vaccine mandates in the bill,
and it has deep state immunity. This is a disaster
sixty billion for Ukraine. The unconstitutional force of courts to
protect Congress past and future blanket immunity for deep state.
Unconstitutional emergency powers are in this bill. There's a mask
(02:53):
and vaccine mandate, the gain of function research is in
this CR, vaccine passports all so appearing in this CR,
and funding of twelve different biolabs. This is what they
have stuck in there. And what do we get out
of it. Well, they're saying, we'll give you some hurricane
aid for those that are hurting right now. Which is
(03:15):
why I read for you that Anna Paulina line there
VI vic Ramaswami putting it out on X this way,
and it's a long statement, but it's important one and
I want to read it for you because this is
the guy that is helping with DOGE, which is actually
cutting down and cracking down on government overspending.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
So this is what he wrote.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
He said, quote, I wanted to read the full one thousand,
five hundred plus page bill that is now ballooned to
seventeen hundred pages since he put this tweet out and
speak with key leaders before forming an opinion. Having done that,
here's my view. It's full of excessive spending. The VIC writes,
special interest giveaways and pork barrel politics. If Congress wants
(03:57):
to get serious about government efficiency, they should vote no.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
In all caps.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Keeping the government open until March fourteenth will cost three
hundred and eighty billion by itself, but the true cost
of this omnibus cr is far greater due to new spending.
Renewing the Farm Bill for an extra year one hundred
and thirty billion, disaster relief one hundred billion, stimulus for
(04:25):
farmers ten billion, the Francis Scott key Bridge replacement eight billion.
The proposal adds at least sixty five cents of new
spending for every dollar of continued discretionary spending. Translation, this
is a massive expansion of government spending. I want to
(04:46):
read that again. The VIC Rameswami saying the proposal adds
at least at least this is, at the bare minimum,
sixty five cents of new spending for every dollar of
continued discretionary spending. Legislation will end up hurting many of
the people it purports to help. Debt fueled spending sprees
may quote feel good today, but it's like showering cocaine
(05:11):
on an addict. It's not compassion, it's cruelty. Farmers will
see more lands sold to foreign buyers when taxes inadvertently
rise to meet our obligations. Our children will be saddled
with crippling debt. Interest payments will be the largest item
in our national budget. Congress has known about this deadline
(05:31):
since they created it in late September. There's no reason
why this couldn't have gone through the standard process instead
of being rushed to a vote right before congressmen want
to go home for the holidays. The urgency, Vivic writes,
is one hundred percent manufactured and designed to avoid serious
(05:51):
public debate or scrutiny.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
Right, no one's been able to read this bill.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Vivic actually read it, but it's expanded by two hundred paid,
which just apparently since he read it. He goes on
to say the bill could have easily been under twenty pages. Instead,
there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the
one thousand, five hundred and forty seven pages of this bill.
(06:18):
There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on
as a package deal by elame duck Congress. Seventy two
pages worth of pandemic preparedness and response policy, renewal of
the much criticized Global Engagement Center, a key player in
(06:38):
the federal censorship state, Seventeen different pieces of commerce legislation
paving the way for a new football stadium in DC
is in this continuing resolution, a pay raise for congressmen
and senators and making them eligible for federal employee health benefits.
(06:59):
Because they don't want to act, you have to deal
with Obamacare. It's indefensible to ram these measures through at
the last second without debate. We are grateful for DOJ's
warm reception on Capitol Hill. Nearly everyone agrees we need
a smaller and more streamlined federal government. But actions speak
louder than words. This is an early test the bill,
(07:23):
he says, should fail. Now, since he posted that at
the time that I'm recording this, that has been viewed
his message more than ten point five million times, and
I expect that number to be continuing to grow even
bigger and bigger. I'll give you another example of just
the total corruption in this bill. Walgreens to pay one
(07:46):
hundred and six point eight million for billing the US
government for prescriptions they never filled. From two thousand and
nine to twenty twenty, the pharmacy chain submitted fall claims
to Medicare and Medicaid, totaling one hundred and six point
eight million dollars. Walgreens are now pay more than one
(08:08):
hundred million to settle the claims against billing Medicare and
Medicaid with fraud. That is what is happening right now. Now,
let's also talk about what has been said by the speaker,
Speaker Johnson, and I'm holding his feet to the fire
because well, he.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Has lied to us.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
The bill should fail, and you need to call your
congressman and tell them that. But I'm going to go
back to September of twenty twenty four. This is what
Speaker Johnson said in September of twenty twenty four, Okay,
just a few months ago, and he said then there
won't be a Christmas omnibus.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
Listen, but overall with the CRS, as our leader just noted,
we have we have broken the Christmas omni and I
have no intention of going back to that tearable tree eddition.
So there won't be a Christmas omnibus. If somebody asked
me in the hallway a little while ago, will leave
you minibuses. We don't want any buses. We're not going
to do any buses.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Okay, now that was him in September. I'm going to
fast forward to this week. What is Speaker Johnson saying?
Now in December of the same year, he is saying,
everybody understands the necessity of this Christmas omnibus.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Listen, and we.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Got to get through this. So look, everybody understands the necessity.
It is not palatable. This is the sausage making part
of legislation that nobody likes. But we're governing and we'll
pick it up in January and start a brand new
day for America.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
So, in other words, you're getting screwed right now. Here's
a question you should ask yourself before you call your
congressman or your senator and tell them to vote no.
Why do taxpayers have to foot the bill for the
Francis Scott Key Bridge?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
For example?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Shouldn't it operate of the ship or its insurance company
pay for that. They're the ones that took down that bridge.
Why should the American taxpayers have to pay for that
doesn't make any sense at all. I also will go
back to this. You look at what Elon and what
Vivic said, and if you're just using them for a
(10:11):
photo op, that's one thing.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
But this CR is just total bs.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
It allows for vaccines, mask mandates, vaccine passports, expanded emergency powers,
and gain a function research that has nothing to do
with what this Continuing Resolution should be about.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Every one of you listening.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Right now, every one of you, and I'm going to
go into more detail of what's in this bill in
a moment, but every one of you needs to call
your congressman and your senator. Two O two two two
four three one two one. That's two O two two
two four three one two one. Call Capitol Hill, call
your congressman, call your center, and tell them no on this.
(10:59):
This bill is massive. This is a betrayal of the
American public. It is a portrayal that all of us
should understand. And the House Republicans so far that have
announced that they will vote against this seventeen hundred page
spinning bill. Representative Nancy Mace, Wesley Hunt, Andy Biggs, Bob Good,
(11:21):
Paul Gosar, Ralph Norman, Tim Burchett and chip Rory that list.
I'm expecting it to go now, we need more knows.
Democrats are obviously going to vote yes on this. They
love this government spending. They're all in on it, they
all want it. But Speaker Johnson's decision to allow this
(11:41):
language into an omnibus bill is an egregious concession that
undermines accountability and transparency within the legislative process and by
including provisions that shield House data from disclosures. For example,
this is another problem here. This is operating in secret.
This would shield the House in the language they put
(12:04):
in this bill for disclosure and permit motions the squash subpoenas,
and what Speaker Johnson's doing now is enabling the very
mechanisms that delay justice. These protections will undoubtedly be weaponized
by the way to obstruct investigations in a misconduct, particularly
the actions of individuals like Liz Cheney and Adam Schiff
(12:25):
during the Manufacturer January the sixth hearings, and the language
serves no legitimate purpose beyond buying time for those who
manipulate their positions to push false narratives and vilify their
political opponents, which were conservatives.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Why the hell is this in the bill?
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It is all a question that every single person should
be asking.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
So what's in this bill? All right? Get ready to
take notes? And this is when I'll say it again.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Take the podcast, share this so people know what they
actually did. And I want to be Conservatives are a
part of this, okay, and I'm calling them out. Here
are some of the provisions drawing the biggest blowback from conservatives.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
Members of Congress.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Are going to get a pay raise, yes, a actual
pay raise. Apparently right now, Congress saying we need a
pay raise for itself, and they snuck it in the
spending bill. As Americans struggle to make ends meet. This
one thousand, five hundred and seventy four page bill, known
as the CR, made sure that lawmakers currently earn a
(13:35):
base salary of one seventy four annually, with members and
leadership receiving a higher salary. If Biden signs a CR
into law, members of Congress are set to receive a
maximum salary increase of six six hundred dollars due to
the twenty twenty five cola of three point eight percent.
According to a press release from Maine Democrat Representative Jared Golden,
(13:57):
on Wednesday. The main Democrat is opposing the CR over
the pay ray's language in the bill, saying this is
just wrong.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
If members of Congress had received every adjustment prescribed by
the ECI formula since nineteen ninety two, and the statutory
limitations regarding the percentage based pay increase for government employees
remained unchanged, the twenty twenty fourth salary would be two
hundred and forty three thousand, three hundred dollars, is what
(14:30):
they wrote in an article on lawmakers salaries with.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
The update in September.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
In addition, there are many Republicans that are supporting this.
So Congress is failing the American people again and giving
themselves a pay raise in the process.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
You can't make this stuff up.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I'll be voting no, is what Representative Eli Crane said
about this shocking move here to give a pay raise.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Now that's the beginning.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
There's also a provision that allows lawmakers to opt out
of Obamacare and use the Federal Employees Health Benefit program instead.
Because they all know that Obamacare sucks, They've thrown that
in the omnibus as well with a CR. Also, language
on transparency in concert ticket pricing is in this bill
(15:20):
that actually is something I'm in favor of, so you're
getting that in there. There's also the federal government paying
the entire bill to bill to rebuild the Francis Scott
Key Bridge. Why are we having to pay for this?
This is port bal spending. There's also quote accountability for
recycling and composting fraud, whatever the hell that means. There's
(15:44):
a federal swine education program that would be on pigs,
a continuation of the woll Trust Fund until twenty twenty five.
If you want to know more about that, I'll put
a link on social media for you.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
It's just insane.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
And they're going to pay for juvenile delinquents to get
their driver's licenses. Why the hell do I need to
be paying money for driver's license for people that are young.
I don't understand this. We're gonna pay for juvenile delinquents
to get their driver's license because you're irresponsible with a kid.
Let's give that kid a license so he can go
(16:21):
drive a car, because that makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Also, in this.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Bill, the government will no longer be calling homeless adults
and children as homeless, so we're going woke. We're actually
banning the word homeless. So my producer, as much as
you want to say homeless in the future, or any
one of you listening right now, you're not allowed to
(16:47):
do that. If you're an official government position capacity writing
a bill.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
There is no such thing as homeless people anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
They're also extending a quote cheap marketing grant pro Graham
until twenty twenty five because apparently.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
We need to be marketing sheep now.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
And the Golden Engagement Center that's the State Department's office
which is dedicated specifically and explicitly towards censorship. It's going
to get another round of funding to censor people they
don't like. And if you want to get really angry,
this is where the pork barrel spending comes in.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Your tax dollars.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
In this continuing resolution, are going to spend not one,
not two, but three million dollars to test the inspection
of molasses. I wish I was joking. I'm actually not.
This is real. This resolution is out and it's a
(17:45):
resolution that says we're going to spend three million dollars
to test the inspection of malasses. Now, these provisions and
more have many Republicans frustrated. You should be calling and
can this with your people in Congress, whoever your representative is. Quote,
(18:06):
This Continuing Resolution is a predictable result of Republican leadership
embracing swamp practices. It continues to fund more of the
same broken priorities Democrats wanted, and ignores the mandate voters
gave us to change course. Americans demanded a government that
secures the border and cut spending, not a continuation of
(18:29):
the swamp status.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
That is what Texas represented Michael Cloud said about this CR.
Arizona Representative Paul Gossar told The Daily Caller that there
is quote not a single provision worth supporting. In its totality,
The entire Continuing Resolution is complete garbage. It continues to
fund the government at Pelosi, Schumer, and Biden levels. It
(18:53):
gives members an undeserved pay raise, has zero offsets, was
negotiated behind closed doors, and is a liberals dream bill.
No physically responsible Republicans should vote for this piece of crap,
Congressman Gosar said in the statement. South Carolina Representative Ralph
(19:13):
Norman explained that the Continuing Resolution should have gone through
the Rules Committee so that there could have been a
debate on every provision. To put it lightly, this omnibus
is a wolf in sheep's clothing. For one, it should
have gone through the Rules Committee so that we could
debate and discuss every single line item. Instead, Republican leadership
(19:35):
decide to take the back door. He went on to say,
I'm deeply disturbed that Republican leadership is greenlighting billions more
of dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
With no offsets.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
And I'm going to tell you even more about this
in a moment, But first I want to tell you
about Patriot Mobile. If you are like me and you
are tired of giving your money to organizations that are
fighting against your conservative and Christian values, and you really
need to look at your cell phone bill, you may
not realize that the Big Mobile for years has been
(20:07):
giving big donations to democratic causes, candidates, and radical organizations.
I'm talking about organizations that are paying for abortions on demand.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
That's not all.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
The Big Mobile has been giving donations to organizations that
also are in favor of defunding the police. And that's
another reason why you need to know where your cash
is going, and that's why you need to switch to
Patriot Mobile. Now, Patriot Mobile, I'm proud to say, I'm
a customer. I get the same great coverage that I
was used to before with Big Mobile, But when I
(20:41):
made the switch, I knew I was making a difference
every time I made a phone call, every time I
sent a text, and every time I paid my bill.
Because at Patriot Mobile, about five percent of your bill
every month is going to go back at no extra
cost to you, to organizations that are fighting for our
First and our Second Amendment rights, that are fighting for
the sanctity of life, that are helping with adoptions. And
(21:05):
then they also give money to our military, our first
responder heroes, and our wounded warriors. So you can take
a stand. Every time you pay a bill. You're gonna
have a cell phone bill, why not be with a
company that's fighting for your values. You're gonn get the
same cover you used too, because Patriot Mobile operates across
all three major networks. You'll have zero issues there and
(21:25):
they even have a coverage guarantee. Call them or go online.
I'm gonna give you a month free right now. Patriot
Mobile dot com slash ben that's Patriot Mobile dot com
slash ben, or you can call them nine to seven
to two Patriot that's nine seven to two Patriot right
now and get a free month when you use the
(21:45):
offer code Ben. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ben.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Now, let me be clear.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
We are in the situation that we're in right now
in this country where we have out of control spending
because no one will stand up and stop it. No
one will say no, no one says I'm not going
to allow this to happen. They all just throw in
all the crap that they want and they go with it.
They throw in everything they feel good about and they're like,
let's do this. They throw it all in there, and
(22:16):
they're like, yeah, this will work. And it's really really,
really really sad. But this is what we are doing now.
We have a government that is supposed to be run
by conservatives, and while the conservatives have power right now
in the House, they're like, now, let's just shell out
a bunch of cash, put Americans even more debt, and
then we'll act like we're fiscally conservative when we get
(22:37):
back in January and Donald Trump's the president.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
I'm sorry, you can't have it both ways. How much time.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
Now while all this is happening in the middle of
me literally recording this, we find out that Jerome Powell
at the Federal Reserve has come out doing a press
conference and Powe has said the economy is in a
really good place. Wall Street disagrees because, as he said
it Wall Street, the Dow was down three points. Fox
(23:08):
says Edward Lawrence asked him this question about the Fed
and interest rates and the economy.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
Listen.
Speaker 5 (23:15):
So, but now the Federal Reserve chairman back to talking
about inflation, adding he's feeling good about where they are
at the moment. Still, he dropped the word recalibration from
this news conference talking about interest rates as a Federal
Reserve now forecast two rate cuts next.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
Year, not four.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
So I wanted to know where this rate cut train
is headed.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
I think the markets are looking for for a little
more clarity. I mean, I've heard estimates from two point
nine percent to four percent, you know, and I think
the markets would like to see a little more clarity
about the year out eighteen months out as to where
that goalposts for lack of better terminus, because at the
moment it looks big.
Speaker 7 (23:50):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, we you know, there are countless
models of what of what a neutral rate might be
at any given time. They're empirical models, are theoretical models.
There are things that combine them, and they have as
many different answers.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
As you'd like.
Speaker 7 (24:03):
So there is no real certainty. And I mean it's
actually a good thing to know that we don't know
exactly where it is. So you're not tempted to think, oh,
I think this model or this estimate is right. You
just have to be open to you know, the empirical
data that are coming in.
Speaker 5 (24:21):
And FED speak for there is no clarity as to
where they're actually going the Federal Reserve in this rate
cut cycle and where they may end up from this
weightcut cycle, something the markets obviously.
Speaker 3 (24:31):
Didn't like as well.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
I love that there is no clarity about where we're going.
So if you want to know who's in charge, this
is These are the people in charge, and this is
what they are doing to our economy. Many of you
may be doing your last minute Christmas shopping and I
want you to understand what we have just found out about.
Major corporations including Kia, TJ Max listed as corporate sponsors
(24:58):
of the Rainbow Line Library pushing transbooks on your children.
The retailers TJ Max and the automaker Kia are listed
as co sponsors of a program that is distributing the
LGBTQ themed books to k through twelve schools across the
(25:18):
United States. This according to a Wednesday report from the
conservative nonprofit Consumer Research obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. Now,
the initiative, titled the Rainbow Library is run by national
LGBTQ plus activist organization, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education
(25:44):
Network known as g lse N.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
What does it do?
Speaker 1 (25:49):
It sends participating teachers books that push transgenderism and homosexuality
onto kids as young as five. Over eight thousand, one
hundred schools in thirty three different states nationwide are now
participating in the program. Meaning there's a very good chance
(26:09):
that your kids or grandkids are at a public school
where this is actually in the library system and being
used in the classroom. Now, let me read you this quote.
TJ Max and Kia are pushing radical gender ideology on
kids through their sponsorship of the GLSEEN Rainbow Network, which
(26:33):
promotes transgender ideology and classrooms across the country through books
and recommended lesson plans for teachers. So it's not just
the books are available, it is actual lesson plans for
the teachers to then follow to then indoctrinate your children.
That is what will Hoild, Executive director of Consumer Research,
(26:54):
sent and a statement. By sponsoring organizations with a political
activist agenda like this organization in the Rainbow Library, these
companies are putting woke politics specifically ahead of their consumer base.
In other words, TJ Max and kir are hoping that
you won't find out that this is what they are
(27:15):
involved in. Now here's something else that you need to
understand as well. A spokesman for Kia has come out
understanding that they have walked into a major problem, and
they have denied in a statement that the auto company
sponsored the Rainbow Library in twenty twenty three or twenty
twenty four, but they did not respond to further inquiries
(27:37):
about why it was prominently displayed as a sponsor on
the GLSN website. I am looking at the website. It
is there right now. All right, now, let's go back
to the books for a moment, because this is what
you need to understand about these companies and what the doing.
(28:00):
When you go and shop at tjmac Slash Marshals, or
you go and buy Kiya kar I want you to
understand just how extreme they are in pushing transgenderism on
your kids or your grandkids. One of the books distributed
by Rainbow Library is titled When Aiden Becomes a Brother.
(28:21):
It tells the story of a black girl who becomes
or comes out as quote unquote transgender and quote explores
plural different ways of being a boy. The GLSN recommends
the story as part of its lesson plan for second graders.
(28:43):
According to the Rainbow Library website, a twenty twenty three
Pew Research Center study found that nearly seventy percent of
Black Americans believe gender is assigned at birth. Just to
put in perspective over what they're doing here. Book this time,
intended for first graders, is called My Rainbow. It depicts
(29:06):
a mother constructing a rainbow wig for her young transgender child.
Another book, entitled Quote, When we Love Someone, We Sing
to Them That is meant for third graders and tells
the story of a young boy singing to another young
(29:29):
boy in order to confess his love to that boy.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Now.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
When teachers request books from the Rainbow Library, they also
receive a quote toolkit telling them how to facilitate children
coming out as transgender with the gosse and educator Michael
Rady's stating in a twenty twenty one video that quote,
when a teacher or a librarian rolls out the Rainbow
(29:59):
Life Library in their location, students start coming out to
them because they see that adult as someone that they
can trust. The program also instructs the educators to keep
it confidential, in other words, hide it from the parents, right,
so that we can help indoctor nate this kid, saying
(30:22):
if a student comes out to them until they can
determine if the child is quote supported by the adults
in their life and in apparent reference to the child's parents.
So hey, keep it confidential, don't tell them anything, don't
talk about it. Just keep it quiet until we find
(30:42):
out exactly what's going on. This is what these organizations do.
This is what they give to your kids. This is
how they do it. And you look at Kia, you
look at TJ Max Marshall's, and they're like, hey, we're
making good money. We got a lot of mom that
are going in there and shopping. We got a lot
of people buying cars from us. So let's indoctrinate these
(31:05):
kids in this way, all right. So let's keep going
down this road so you understand. The nonprofit website sponsors
page identifies key in TJ Max's parent corporation, TJX Companies,
which is also the retailer that owns Marshalls, Home Goods
and Sierra as It's twenty twenty three, twenty twenty four
(31:26):
national partners that help make Rainbow Library possible. So it's
not just TJ Max you need to be boycotting this
Christmas season. It's Marshalls, it's Home Goods, it's Sierra unless
you want your kids turned into transgender children. Target, you
may remember we talked about this a year ago. They
(31:49):
came under fire for their partnership with the same organization
GLSEN That may be where you remember me saying this
name before They donated more than two million dollars.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
To the nonprofit.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Now, let me just go back to Target and remind
you quickly of that story. Not only did Target give
over two million dollars to this radical organization to indoctrinate children,
but back in May of twenty twenty three, the National
Education Association, and that is the US's largest teacher union,
also pledged their support for this radical organization called g
(32:29):
LS n now Tjmax companies participated in the Human Rights
Campaigns Corporate Equity Index. Now, what does that do. It's
like a seal of approval, all right. They assess the
corporations based on their commitment to the LGBTQ plus activism.
So it's not just like LGBTQ plus in general, it's
(32:52):
you have to be an activist company. The Human Rights
Campaign champions pediatric sex changes, so there's like, hey, it's
you guys. Can't just raise your an say we support,
You've got to be activists with your dollars and donations. Now,
facing pressure, a variety of corporations have started to roll
(33:14):
back their diversity equity inclusion initiatives in recent months, including
John Deere, Core's Brewing, Harley Davison, Ford and Low's. Now,
the only reason why they're doing this now is because
they're seeing that America is starting to wake up and
stand up and say we're tired of this woke ideology.
And that's exactly the reason why these corporations are now
(33:34):
doing it. About face, Republicans spend at least two hundred
and fifteen million critiquing progressive transgender ideology in the twenty
twenty four election cycle. So part of this was education
of the public by Republicans and be like this is insane.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
I don't want to be a part of this now.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
According to data from ad tracking firms, they said that
one of the most effective ads was the one declared
I mean that Kamwa Harris is for it. They slash them,
they them, and President Trump is for you. That had
a huge impact on this election. Now, Keya's head of
corporate communications, and let's move to them for a second,
(34:14):
is a guy by the name of James Bell. James
Bell has come out denied the company had been a
sponsor of the Rainbow Library in twenty three or twenty four,
despite the automaker being prominently displayed on the program sponsor page.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
They understand how things are changed.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
They don't want to be listed on these lists that
I'm telling you about, which is why you need to
share this podcast and put it everywhere, all right. I
want to be clear about that. Grab our podcasts and
share it now. When the DNFC sent multiple follow up
inquiries asking why Keys listed as a twenty three to
twenty four school year sponsor if it did not sponsor
(34:51):
the nonprofit twenty three or twenty four, James Bell, of
Kea's head of corporate communications, literally stopped responding to The
Daily Caller. Additionally, James Bell's initial response did not answer
the majority of questions that came from the Daily Caller
and their inquiry, including when the company began funding the
(35:15):
Rainbow Library and if the company supports pediatric sex change
surgeries and hormonal treatments for children at a very young age. Also,
this is why sunlight is the best disinfectant. TJ Max
(35:36):
and G. Lsen did not respond to The Daily Caller's
requests for comment on this as well.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
So there's there's a couple of takeaways here. Number One,
they lied. Number two, they got busted.
Speaker 1 (35:47):
Number Three, they're hoping that not enough people will find
out about the story that I just led with today.
Speaker 3 (35:52):
And some people ask me, like Ben, why didn't you
do like the.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Big headline of the day, Because you already know about
the bigger headline today, all right, and we're going to
talk about it. We're going to talk about all the
big headlines. But when I get stories like this, these
are the stories that I want to be a big headline.
So I'm going to ask you please get involved Okay,
share the podcasts, share this information and make sure everybody
(36:15):
knows it, because there's a lot of moms out there
that if I think they understood how radical the left
had become, they would not be saying by a Kia.
They would not be going to TJ Max or Marshalls
or Home Goods. These are stores that deserve to be
boycotted the same way that Target. And by the way
I called it with Target, what did I say to
you as my producer, I said it, moms were going
to go back to going to Target, even after the
(36:38):
radical agenda of Target to have like tucking swimsuits for
toddlers and binding swimsuits for young girls.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
And I said, you watch, There'll be some moms.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
That will stop going to Target for a little bit,
but the majority are going to come back. And that's
why Target is still giving two thousand in three thousand
and four thousand, whatever the number is of square feet
to their stores for hardcore LGBTQIA and doctor Nation.
Speaker 3 (37:08):
And support during the summer months. And I was right.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
You look at the stock value of Target, you look
at their sales numbers. They came down a little bit
after that controversy and then after the controversy kind of
moved on to other things what ended up happening. They
moved on, folks, they moved on, and they went right
back to shopping. Many mothers did, because Target's just so convenient,
(37:33):
and people are like, I don't want to go to Walmart,
so I'll go to Target. And that is now where
we are, all right. Make sure you share this podcast
as well. That helps tremendously get all this information to
everybody that's out there.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
And I will see you back here tomorrow
