Speaker 1 (00:01):
One of the things about this presidential campaign. And I
get asked this question actually a lot recently, so I'm
gonna explain it. People are like, dude, why are people
like Mark Cuban getting into this election and why are
they like just going all in the way that they're
the way that they're going all in to try to
(00:22):
convince us that Kamala Harris is the best. It's a
good question, it's a fair question, and the answer is
actually fairly simple. You can be rich and you can
buy a lot of stuff and you can choose who
(00:44):
your candidates are if you've given up money, like Soros
is a great example of this. Right, you can buy influence.
But then there's another thing that there's a lot of
people that are rich that they don't mind just buying influence. Right,
here's one hundred thousand, I'll get my picture with you,
and I'll tell you what I want you to do,
a lot of people do that. But then there's like this,
(01:05):
I'm bored. Mark Cuban is in that category, I think clearly,
where he's just bored and he wants to be important
more than he is now. He's right, He's ended Shark Tank,
for example, he's not coming back for another season, and
it's kind of like he's like, all right, I'm I
want something big, and I want something next and I
want it now. So what does that look like? Well,
(01:28):
I can answer that question. He wants to be in
an administration. There's no way in hell he's going to
get in the Trump administration. So instead of the Trump administration,
what he's decided to do is go all in for
Comala Harris because he doesn't just want to be a
mega donor. He didn't want to just raise money. He
didn't want to just get invited the inauguration.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Like.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
He wants a job, a government job that he can
be like influential and important. Like that's really what this
pulls down to. That's what he wants. And so that's
why he's going on TV and being this surrogate for
her and really making an a dobles of himself. Like
(02:06):
it's embarrassing now just how much this dude is pandering
just to try to get into the administration. I mean,
and it's clear that that's like his whole goal here.
It's it is so transparent in the way that he
is willing to just throw everything else to the wayside,
like everything, he's just like, screw it, I'll say whatever,
(02:29):
tell me what to do and I'll do it, Like
just just tell me what to do, and I'm all in.
And it really is kind of hilarious because when you
see him doing this, and you hear him doing this,
like all you can do is laugh. It's like, dude, like,
are you that desperate to get in this administration and
to feel like, you know, like you're really important? And
(02:49):
it's I mean, it's funny, y'all, Like it really really
is funny, and and it's pandering in this form that
is just like, dude, you're it's like, try not to
look so desperate. This morning, he was on CNBC this morning,
he went full blown desperate, and it's it's clear that
(03:10):
he wants this, Like I don't know what she's promised him.
I don't know if it's like Treasury secretary or you know,
the World Bank or a major ambassadorship, but he's been
promised something that he wants that he can't buy, and
so it's the unobtainable thing, right, he can't buy it,
(03:32):
and he really wants it. And he was on this
morning and it didn't go well I let you hear
part of this back and forth where he's trying to
defend Kama Harris's and Walt's economic agenda and record. And
I want you to listen to this spend because this
is embarrassing even for Mark Cuban.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Mark, if it's just an example of how both I
can never remember election where both sides fall back on
either oh yeah, they don't really mean that, or well,
you know it's gonna be gridlocked, so none of that
self is really gonna app.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
What did Joe, what did I say they had to
do with that had to do with either of those things.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I told you this is an election where both sides
have to constantly distance themselves from the They still support
the candidate, but they distanced themselves from certain parts of
the candidate's platform.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But yeah, you don't have to agree with everything from
any candidates.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Just yeah, it's just it's just I've never seen an
election we're.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Both But Joe, what I'm talking Let's go back to
what I was talking about.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Let's go back to what I was talking about.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
You didn't address that at all.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Took my he took my filibuster question to healthcare. So
I don't you know that's your own.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
For no, you asked.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You asked what you asked me specifically, what are the
things about her that I agree with that I support?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I told you other things. I was asking what other
things that she's proposed in the past would cause you
to campaign against her if she went through with it?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, I mean, look what she did four years, just
like Donald Trump and the oil thing. I mean, there's
lots of things. You know that candidate's change over period
of years. That's one of the great things about Kamala Harris.
She's not an ideology. She is open minded. That's why
she's changed. Donald Trump thinks he knows everything. He doesn't change.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So to be clear, Mark Cuban says that one of
the greatest things about Kamala Harris is that she flip
flops on every single issue, So therefore you should support her.
That's what the dude just said. You should just oh, well,
people like, she's not an ideologue, so she flip flops
on everything. She changes on everything. That's what was just
(05:37):
said there, folks, So get excited because she's a flip
flopper and you don't know what she really wants to do,
and that's a good thing because she's constantly changing all
of the time, and that's good. I have a little
bit of.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I was as I watched this, I'm like, are you
kidding me? That's what you're now saying, Like this is
how well you're willing to go. And then he also Isaac,
I'm not a Democrat, dude, You're you're for a Marxist
socialist communists in Kama Harris, who what's price controls? And
you're this rich guy that's completely out of tech reality.
Or you're just a hack that to sell out because
(06:16):
you want a position you can't buy and the only
way to get it is to help her get elected.
So listen to this on him trying to convince me
he's not a Democrat, Like, give me a break.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Hey, Mark, what do you think happens if this is
as close as the polls are.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Suggesting that it will be.
Speaker 9 (06:33):
I don't know if we believe the polls are not,
But if it does come down to a matter of
you know, a few thousand or maybe ten thousand votes
over those very key districts that you just talked about
in some very key swing states, what happens?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
See what happened in twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Yeah, sent to.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Happen in twenty twenty.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
And how does that play out?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I mean, obviously there's a greater than zero chance that
something happens, but I hope not. And you know that
Donald Trump is going to claim it's not a fair election,
and you know, do whatever he does. At least he's
not in office with the power to, you know, try
to force a January sixth like situation.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
If it's a close vote and it goes to Donald
Trump while Democrats behave the same.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, I'm not a Democrat. I mean, you know, I
won't be happy, but I'll accept it. You know, I
really don't care what Democrats do. I don't care what
independent or republics to do. I just want what's best
for the country.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I love it. You mean, like burn down cities like
Black Lives Matter, When you're burning down police stations and
you're on TV like, oh, it's mostly peaceful protests. Is
that what you're talking about? I I the idea that
he's not a Democrat when you're when you're out there
hawking Kamala Harris every day twenty four to seven, because
you're so desperate for some sort of government appointment, and
(07:52):
then you're like, I'm not a Democrat, like, dude, you'reint
a Republican because I know what we believe in. You
don't believe what we believe. Like you're advocating for a
woman that's trying to destroy this country with price controls,
which you know don't work, but you still want this
job so bad you're like, screw it, I will sell
my soul to commerce in the Democratic Party. And then
you're like, well, I'm not a Democrat, like dude, shut up.
(08:15):
Like it is amazing these guys that will just say
whatever the hell it takes to get power, and he's
at the top of that list. Now, Like this is
just pandering, and I hope that people actually see through it.
I really do, Like I hope that people see this
(08:36):
and they realize, like, just how absurd this really is,
because it really is absurd. Donald Trump on how he
plans to control sanctuary cities. Here's what he had to
say in an exclusive conversation he had in a barber
shop this morning on Fox and Friends. Take a listen
(08:57):
this fellow right here.
Speaker 10 (08:58):
It used to be a law enforcement perc of the
what would you say is the most important issue facing
the country right now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
For me, it's the border, right right?
Speaker 11 (09:07):
Is the border?
Speaker 12 (09:08):
I agree?
Speaker 13 (09:09):
And how to control that, how to keep illegal migrants
from coming into the country very important for me. And
if I had a question to ask about, it would
be how do we do the how do we control
the city sanctuary city because New York is the.
Speaker 14 (09:31):
We get rid of them. We get rid of them
because they're sanctuary. You know what, They're for criminals and
all over the country the criminals go there. But you're right,
you know, the polls are showing that inflation and the border,
not the border. If the border's third, they have inflation
and the economy as the number one and number two issue.
I disagree. I think inflation is massive, the economy is massive.
(09:54):
But the border to me is like it's the fabric
of our country. And we had the strongest or in
recorded history.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Four years ago.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
You had a board.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You didn't have the problems that you have now.
Speaker 14 (10:05):
Last week they announced that we had thirteen thousand and
ninety nine convicted murderers released from.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Jails all over the world.
Speaker 14 (10:12):
You know, it's not South America, it's all over the world,
including South America.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So I agree with you.
Speaker 14 (10:18):
I think the biggest problem we have is the border.
It's something and it's also the hardest thing to solve
and the only way you can solve. But you have
to get the criminals, the murderers.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You got to get them out.
Speaker 14 (10:28):
You got to get them out fast before they prey
on our people.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
And that was big question for me because I'm a
retired New York.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
City so in New York we've run across that.
Speaker 14 (10:40):
Well, the other problem you have is that you're not
allowed to do your job. And when you were there,
you go back ten fifteen years, when you were there,
you were allowed to do your job. New York's finance,
there's still New York's Vince, but they're not allowed to
do their job.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They're allowed to do their job. Donald Trump having a
very honest conversation about what it's going to look like
for Donald Trump and for Americans if this actually happens.
Pennsylvania still workers this morning, Trump saved our job by
imposing tariffs on China, turning the narrative in Pennsylvania on
(11:16):
what the left has been saying that if Donald Trump
gets in office, all these Americans still workers are going
to lose their job. Guess what still workers are like, Uh,
we've been losing our jobs under the Biden Harris regime.
Sylvania is a swing state. I think, honestly, based on
the map I've seen so far this year, that Pennsylvania
(11:37):
there's a very very very very very very good chance
that Pennsylvania is going to be the swing state that
will probably push the election to Harris or to Donald Trump.
I've been looking at the models. I'm a geek like that,
(11:59):
I'll admit it. And what I've been seeing it's pretty
clear that this is what it's going to look like.
I want you to hear what these steel workers had
to say as they were interviewed on Fox as well
this morning about the truth about Donald Trump.
Speaker 15 (12:12):
So joining us.
Speaker 16 (12:13):
Now, those steel workers who joined Trump on the stage.
You have Brian Pavlac, you have Richard Tiger, you have
Andy Macy and Glenn Thomas. Hey, guys, morning, Okay, So
what was it like Richard?
Speaker 6 (12:27):
I'll start with you.
Speaker 16 (12:28):
What was it like to be up there on stage
to meet him and to have a chance to talk
to him and represent the steel industry, like.
Speaker 17 (12:36):
Go on a lifetime experience. I was glad I got
to get my members up there and they got to
see him. It was like all about my members to
me and meet mister Trump. Mister Trump kind of saved
all of our jaws.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
So, Brian, what was the key point for you where
you said, I want to do this endorsement among the
rank and file, and I want to do it in
front of a crowd.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 12 (12:58):
It was a great experience. I'm glad that he accepted it,
the endorsement, and I just wanted the people to know
as a still worker for Trump. I want people to
know that all are still workers in the Man Valley
or for President Trump.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
So Glenn, I'm curious. Typically union workers in your industry,
we know them to endorse Democrats. Why Donald Trump this
go around?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Well, historically we've all been Democrats. A couple of us
up here a third generation steel workers, and we had
a trade case years ago that our ex International President
Tom Conway was fighting against the Chinese for illegal dumping.
And when President Trump stepped in and he imposed those
(13:44):
taffs on the Chinese, I firmly believed that he saved
the steel industry, not only in our country, but the
Moon Valley where many of us have lived for close
to thirty years.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Andy, how about you?
Speaker 16 (13:56):
Why are you supporting Trump?
Speaker 18 (13:59):
Well, number one is to protect the jobs in our valley.
I'm a third generation steel worker. I've been through those layoffs.
It's not fun. I've seen three meals shut down in
the valley in the eighties. We have three meals left
in the valley. I don't want to see those shut down.
And he made a firm commitment. When I asked him
(14:21):
with a handshake, mister President, after the election, will you
do what you can to keep our Mond Valley viable
in the steel industry. He gripped my hand and confirmed
to me through that handshake that he says I will
do that.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
So Andy, tell me.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Tell me that. So you take him at his word, Andy,
tell me about the business. We don't have a steel
worker's background. If US steel is the quality that is
the world standard, why is US steel struggling? Is it
the labor cost, the virtual slave labor of these other
countries that you're competing.
Speaker 18 (15:02):
With, Competition still coming in from other countries. We're a
world leader. We are.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
We have the.
Speaker 18 (15:13):
Most efficient coke plant in the world. We meet environmental
standards which are very tough to meet in Allegheny County.
They're getting more strict. We meet those, we exceed those.
Our steel is the best steel that can be made.
We want to continue that. We have a pending sale
(15:36):
coming up. Uh And the problem we have is our
international leaders aren't meeting with the CEO from US Steel
and from npon and over the past year we've learned
facts about this that it's not sitting well with the
(15:56):
membership because we are behind the sale. But our international
needs to get to the table, get the facts and
then bring it to the membership instead of the membership
taking it to our international leaders.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Hey brought about that Japanese company that's trying.
Speaker 14 (16:15):
To buy it.
Speaker 10 (16:15):
Brian, we got about fifteen seconds. I'm just curious if
Kamala here is wins, what does that mean for your industry.
Speaker 18 (16:23):
We're done.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
I think we're done. It's going to be tough because
she even said if she's elected president, she's going to
take off the tariffs, all tariffs, steel, tariffs, all kinds
of terres. He called it the tax on the American people.
And she's talking about terrors. So we need President Trump
elected to save our jobs, all.
Speaker 16 (16:43):
Right, Richard and Glenn, I think they're giving us a
little bit more time.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
We did have fifteen seconds.
Speaker 16 (16:47):
But because y'all are so good and this is interesting,
we wanted to ask you on the back.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Row, why the momentum.
Speaker 16 (16:52):
Why are we seeing that switch more to Donald Trump
and you used to think steel workers unions, that's going
to the Democrats.
Speaker 12 (17:00):
Once again.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Uh.
Speaker 17 (17:01):
He put the tariffs on us when he was president
the last time and our jobs were in jeopardy. Then
there was too much dumping and steel from China and
other countries, and he.
Speaker 18 (17:13):
Said our job. It was one of the first things
he did when he got into the presidency is to
put those tariffs on and they worked.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
We've all seen growing up around here in in the
Pittsburgh area since the seventies when the when the Japanese
actually did that to us, they dumped steel at extremely
low prices. It forced a lot of our steel industry LTV,
j n L, some US steel places to close down
(17:43):
because we could not compete. When we fought that trade case,
they leveled the playing field for us, and then we
were able to compete in the world market.
Speaker 18 (17:54):
We wanted we want to get back to that. That's
why when you look at the the ship to nip
On Steel. They want us to be a bigger player
in the global market. So the workforce, our union brothers
and sisters, we are We're for it. We are for
that self we have we can't we can't stress enough
(18:18):
to get the international Just to go to the table
and meet with them. That's all we're asking at this point.
Meet with them.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
That's important. You are for this Japanese company buying us steel.
Speaker 18 (18:32):
The rank and file is is for it.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Because you feel as though they'll be able to put
the money into expand and keep it here.
Speaker 14 (18:42):
Right.
Speaker 18 (18:42):
Yes, that they promised to rebuild we have We have
a hot meal at our urban plant that was built
in nineteen thirty eight. How do you compete with that
with modern technology today that's available. We want that. We
want that in the Mond Valley. We cannot lose one
job in the Mond Valley.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
You listen to these workers and in Pennsylvania, they've got
to be telling their family and friends this. They've got
to be feeling it like they have to be.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
There's no way they're not.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
There is no way they are not. Pennsylvania still workers
coming out for Donald Trump, saying he saved our jobs
and telling everyone in Pennsylvania, unless you want there to
be massive unemployment, you might want to actually vote for
Donald Trump. I look at this, and there's two ways
(19:39):
this goes right now. Either people look at this honestly
and they decide this is what it is, that's number one,
or they just stick their head in the sand and
they go with what MSNBC says. The left in the media,
they're all now focused on this final attack ad or stage,
and it is that Donald Trump is a authoritarian regime
(20:01):
and that he's never going to give up power, even
though he did last time, and that he's going to
be a dictator in a tyrant. That's like they're closing
argument to the American people.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
So, as you said the other night, the choice cannot
be clearer.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
It just came.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I don't know how it could.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
And what a lot of the people who are kind
of on the bubble here who are going to decide
this in many ways are people who have to say
and who are in their minds saying, yeah, Trump may
be crazy, but she's a socialist or whatever the butt
is to get to where they want to get because
(20:38):
they want to get to voting for they want to
get to voting against Democrats. Right, that's any justification. You know,
you're going to grab anything on your way to try
to get there. To me, the choice is, yes, he
is an authoritarian figure, and just because it didn't work
(21:00):
last time doesn't mean it won't work this time.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
If it weren't for Mike Pence, we very well.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Could have created fourteen days of chaos in this country
that would have led to an election in the House
of Representatives that would have taken a free and fair
election away from President Biden.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Right.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
I mean that's and again that's not us speculating. That's
what they said they wanted to do. So the choice,
the choice here has to be not all right, I
understand he's authoritarian, but he doesn't really mean it. Let's
try to be voters who don't say, but let's say
and yes, he's a creepingly authoritarian fig authoritarian figure, and therefore.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
I'm going to vote. I may disagree about policy, I may.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Disagree about this or that with Vice President Harris, but
let's be clear.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Vice President Harris is not going to send a mob.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
To the Capitol and try to disrupt the peaceful transfer
of power. She's not going to talk about the enemy within.
She's not going to do this, and we if in fact,
you know what, ye remember we're talking to some folks
during the twenty twenty cycle.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
If he wins, maybe this is who we are.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
And maybe that's the complicated, terrible reality we're gonna have
to confront.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
But let's try not to be that country.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
There it is, let's try not to be that country.
Really like this, really this is so he's an authoritarian.
You can't trust him, and therefore you got to vote
for a woman that no one voted for because at
least she's not a authoritarian. Meanwhile, she's full blown Marxist
communist saying I'm gonna do price controls and I'm gonna
(22:36):
give an amnesty to twenty million illegal immigrants in this country.
That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do that. It's like,
are you kidding me? And this is how you're gonna
play this. This is how this is gonna rule, Like,
this is how this is gonna work, Like this is
this is the closing argument. I mean, this is it.
(22:56):
This is the closing argument. So Orangeman's it's still bad.
We can't attack his policies. We can't attack anything that
he's actually advocating or standing for. We're just gonna say
Orange Man is bad. Wow. All right, So there was
a town hall on CNN hours after Kamala Harris looks
(23:17):
for another assassin to go take out Donald Trump and
says Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler after two people try
to kill him, and she's feeling that this campaign slipping away,
so she goes out there and does an official press conference,
reading from mateleprompter, telling everybody that Donald Trump is Hitler
and since Donald Trump is Hitler, you know you should
like do your thing.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
It's beyond sick. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
The CNN event didn't go very well. Harris was asked
a question not about the innocent Jews are being killed,
but the Palestinians who actually support Hamas and Hesbla being killed.
And one of the radicals of the Democratic Party was
in the audience and asked her a question, I want
you to listen to this, and then her response and
is Anderson could gets involved.
Speaker 15 (24:01):
Madam Vice President.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
My question is, as president, what would you do to
ensure not another Palestinian dies due to bombs being funded
by US tax dollars.
Speaker 19 (24:11):
So I will say, and I think this is to
your point, far too many innocent Palestinian civilians have been killed.
Speaker 15 (24:20):
It's unconscionable, and we.
Speaker 19 (24:23):
Are now at a place where, with Sinmar's death, I
do believe we have an opportunity to end this war,
bring the hostages home, bring relief to the Palestinian people,
and work toward a two state solution where Israel and
the Palestinians an equal measure, have security, where the Palestinian
(24:46):
people have dignity, self determination, and the safety that they
still rightly deserve.
Speaker 20 (24:54):
What do you say to voters who are thinking about
supporting a third party candidate or staying on the couch
not voting at all because of this issue.
Speaker 19 (25:05):
Listen, I am not going to deny the strong feelings
that people have. I don't know that anyone who has
seen the images who would not have strong feelings about
what has happened, much less those who have relatives who
have died and been killed. And I know people have
(25:26):
talked with people, so I appreciate that. But I also
do know that for many people who care about this issue,
they also care about bringing down the price of groceries.
They also care about our democracy and not having a
president of the United States who admires dictators and as
a fascist.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
They also care about.
Speaker 19 (25:46):
The fact that we need practical, common sense solutions from
a leader who is willing to work across the aisle
on behalf of the American people and not themselves. They
want a president who cares about a fundamental freek them
to make decisions about your own body, understanding that we're
not trying to change anyone's belief but let's not have
(26:06):
the government telling women what to do with their body.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
I want you to meet Beth Sandberg.
Speaker 20 (26:11):
She's a realtor, a mom of four from Bella Kinwood, Pennsylvania.
She's a registered Democrat says she's undecided because of concerns
about anti Semitism.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
Beth, Hi, thank you for being here and thank you
for remembering we need to bring the hostages home.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Of course I love that part. Did you notice? So
she gives us word salad answer, and she basically says,
I get it. I don't want to kill any more
of these terrorists before the people supporting the terrorists. And
then the very next person, Beth, he's a realator, is like, hey,
thanks for working to bring the hostages home. What like,
(26:43):
are we at two different town halls here, what like what.
Speaker 14 (26:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Van Jones, he's angry, by the way, on CNN after
this nightmare of a I mean it's a nightmare of
a town hall. Whatever the hell you want to you know,
whatever you want to call it, because she went off
(27:09):
the rails completely. Did you know last night here said
we can study packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
She was asked about the Spring Court.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
She's like, yeah, if they're not doing what we want,
we'll just pack it and then we'll get.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Enough people on there to do what we want.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
That's what dictators do. That is what tyrants do. Like
they just expand their court anytime they get to ruin.
They don't, like Derek, I'd screw you guys.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
You're nine of you. Watch this.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'll give you fifteen now though, I'll be my people,
and now I get they do what I tell them
to do.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
You don't believe me. Look at Venzuela. You don't believe me.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Look at Mexico. Look at what Venzuela's court says. I'm
just too down there. They had a fraudulent election. Everybody
knows it was fraudulent, and what did the court do? No,
it's good. Oh, it's good and all the people on
the court will die if they don't do what he says,
because he's the one that gave them their job. So
Kama Harris has asked about this, like, Hey, if you
know the Supreme Court, I'm packing it.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
She's like, oh, yeah, I got an answer for that. Yeah.
The answers yes, I'll pack the Supreme Court, no problem.
Speaker 21 (27:58):
I appreciate that you did. Icknowledg that we are a
country that is faced with problems and issues, with the
Supreme Court being plagued with issues, would you be in
favor of expanding the court to say twelve, so each
justice has only one circuit court other than Chief Justice
to assist in making judgments more balanced.
Speaker 19 (28:17):
Well, to your point, there is no question that the
American people increasingly or losing confidence in the Supreme Court,
and in large part because of the behavior of certain
members of that court and because of certain rulings, including
the Dobs decision and taking away a precedent that had
been in place for fifty years protecting a woman's right
(28:37):
to make decisions about our own body. So I do
believe that there should be some kind of reform of
the court and we can study what that actually looks like.
Speaker 15 (28:46):
But I do believe.
Speaker 19 (28:46):
But again, let's just while you raise the point of
the court, understand that again, in thirteen days, the American
people will decide who is the next president of the
United States.
Speaker 15 (28:57):
In thirteen days, you.
Speaker 19 (28:58):
Will decide who is sitting in the Oval Office on
January twentieth. And on one hand, you have in Donald Trump,
someone who has increasingly proved himself to be unstable, and who,
as we have established and the people close to him
have established, he is unfit to serve. Somebody who on
January twentieth, you can be sure will spend full time,
(29:20):
like we know, and we've seen the image mentally of
him sitting in the dining room off of the Oval Office,
watching for hours as people.
Speaker 15 (29:29):
Violently attack the capital.
Speaker 19 (29:31):
You can be sure, because he has said he would
weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political enemies,
that you can look at a Donald Trump in the
White House after January twentieth, sitting in that Oval Office
plotting his revenge. He has talked about the enemies within.
We haven't even raised that subject. Anderson, the enemy is within.
(29:51):
He's talking about the American people. He's talking about journalists, judges,
nonpartisan election officials. He has talked about, as John Kelly
has talked about, can he send the military after peaceful protesters,
and he's gonna sit there unstable, unhinged, plotting his revenge,
(30:16):
plotting his retribution, creating an enemy's list.
Speaker 15 (30:22):
I'm going to tell you my list.
Speaker 19 (30:24):
Will be a list of how I address and continue
to address the issues that you all are raising this afternoon,
in the evening, it will be a to do list
about how we can impact the American people and lift
up the American people and address some of the challenges
that we continue to face.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I want to get, by the way, that's one hell
of an answer. After she's asked about packing the court. Right,
so this person the education administration manager for the PA
Department of Corrections. Right, so, woke liberal in the audience, like,
I want to know what you're going to do about
this court, this court. I want to know what you're
(31:03):
gonna do because I don't like what the court's do
it or oh yeah, I will pack the hell out
of the court.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
No, probab, don't worry about that.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Like it.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And let me also tell you that this other guy's
unhinged and a tyrant and a dictator. While I'm telling you,
I'm going to pack the Supreme Court so I get
every decision I want done. And if I don't get
what the Supreme Court what I want from them, then
I'll just throw a bunch of more judges on the
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court could be sixty five people,
sixty seven, sixty, whatever the odd number is you need.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
Do you get my point?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
They'll just keep expanding it every time they don't get
the ruling they want. Right. So, right now it's five
to four, So what happens if it changes fifteen to fourteen,
They'll just pack it again. It's twenty two to twenty one,
they'll pack it again, any ruling they don't like.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
What Harris is saying is, I do believe.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That we should have some kind of reform because they've
undermined the court because they lost to free and fair election.
They now have a conservative court leans conservants at a
liberal and so they're like, we don't like that, we'll
just pack it. We get in charge again, we'll just
pack the hell out of it. That's what dictators and
tyrants have. I actually, do you notice that the closing
argument and I understand why they're doing this. The closing
(32:04):
argument is, hey, if anybody wants to kill Donal Trump,
go for it. And he's hitler, so you have a
moral obligation to kill him. That's closing argument number one.
Closing argument number two is, hey, he's a dictator to tyrant,
and you don't want that guy while we are the
ones that are actually dictators. You know, Donald Trump's not
talking about packing the court, you know it's Republicans aren't
talking about packing the court. In fact, they're about protecting
(32:26):
the court from ever being packed. Because once you start
packing the court, it never stops. It never stops, y'all,
it never stops. So if the Democrats packed the court,
then the Republicans insting' is gonna be like, all right, well,
if we get in charge, we're gonna pack the court
and get it back to us like where it belonged
when we were five to four legitimately.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
So we're just gonna pack the court again.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So now, Harris, official line is we can study packing
the Supreme Court. That's the official line. The official line
is we'll do it. Yes, let me do it. Hell yeah,
elect me and I will do it. Make sure you
take this podcast. Please put it up on social media
(33:08):
on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. You can tag me at Ben
Ferguson's show on x at Ben Ferguson Podcast on Instagram
and on Facebook Ben Ferguson's Show. Please put this out
there in the world tag us. We'll share it as well,
and we'll see you back here tomorrow
One of the things about this presidential campaign. And I
get asked this question actually a lot recently, so I'm
gonna explain it. People are like, dude, why are people
like Mark Cuban getting into this election and why are
they like just going all in the way that they're
the way that they're going all in to try to
(00:22):
convince us that Kamala Harris is the best. It's a
good question, it's a fair question, and the answer is
actually fairly simple. You can be rich and you can
buy a lot of stuff and you can choose who
(00:44):
your candidates are if you've given up money, like Soros
is a great example of this. Right, you can buy influence.
But then there's another thing that there's a lot of
people that are rich that they don't mind just buying influence. Right,
here's one hundred thousand, I'll get my picture with you,
and I'll tell you what I want you to do,
a lot of people do that. But then there's like this,
(01:05):
I'm bored. Mark Cuban is in that category, I think clearly,
where he's just bored and he wants to be important
more than he is now. He's right, He's ended Shark Tank,
for example, he's not coming back for another season, and
it's kind of like he's like, all right, I'm I
want something big, and I want something next and I
want it now. So what does that look like? Well,
(01:28):
I can answer that question. He wants to be in
an administration. There's no way in hell he's going to
get in the Trump administration. So instead of the Trump administration,
what he's decided to do is go all in for
Comala Harris because he doesn't just want to be a
mega donor. He didn't want to just raise money. He
didn't want to just get invited the inauguration.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Like.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
He wants a job, a government job that he can
be like influential and important. Like that's really what this
pulls down to. That's what he wants. And so that's
why he's going on TV and being this surrogate for
her and really making an a dobles of himself. Like
(02:06):
it's embarrassing now just how much this dude is pandering
just to try to get into the administration. I mean,
and it's clear that that's like his whole goal here.
It's it is so transparent in the way that he
is willing to just throw everything else to the wayside,
like everything, he's just like, screw it, I'll say whatever,
(02:29):
tell me what to do and I'll do it, Like
just just tell me what to do, and I'm all in.
And it really is kind of hilarious because when you
see him doing this, and you hear him doing this,
like all you can do is laugh. It's like, dude, like,
are you that desperate to get in this administration and
to feel like, you know, like you're really important? And
(02:49):
it's I mean, it's funny, y'all, Like it really really
is funny, and and it's pandering in this form that
is just like, dude, you're it's like, try not to
look so desperate. This morning, he was on CNBC this morning,
he went full blown desperate, and it's it's clear that
(03:10):
he wants this, Like I don't know what she's promised him.
I don't know if it's like Treasury secretary or you know,
the World Bank or a major ambassadorship, but he's been
promised something that he wants that he can't buy, and
so it's the unobtainable thing, right, he can't buy it,
(03:32):
and he really wants it. And he was on this
morning and it didn't go well I let you hear
part of this back and forth where he's trying to
defend Kama Harris's and Walt's economic agenda and record. And
I want you to listen to this spend because this
is embarrassing even for Mark Cuban.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Mark, if it's just an example of how both I
can never remember election where both sides fall back on
either oh yeah, they don't really mean that, or well,
you know it's gonna be gridlocked, so none of that
self is really gonna app.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
What did Joe, what did I say they had to
do with that had to do with either of those things.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I told you this is an election where both sides
have to constantly distance themselves from the They still support
the candidate, but they distanced themselves from certain parts of
the candidate's platform.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
But yeah, you don't have to agree with everything from
any candidates.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Just yeah, it's just it's just I've never seen an
election we're.
Speaker 5 (04:29):
Both But Joe, what I'm talking Let's go back to
what I was talking about.
Speaker 6 (04:33):
Let's go back to what I was talking about.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
You didn't address that at all.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Took my he took my filibuster question to healthcare. So
I don't you know that's your own.
Speaker 8 (04:39):
For no, you asked.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You asked what you asked me specifically, what are the
things about her that I agree with that I support?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
I told you other things. I was asking what other
things that she's proposed in the past would cause you
to campaign against her if she went through with it?
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, I mean, look what she did four years, just
like Donald Trump and the oil thing. I mean, there's
lots of things. You know that candidate's change over period
of years. That's one of the great things about Kamala Harris.
She's not an ideology. She is open minded. That's why
she's changed. Donald Trump thinks he knows everything. He doesn't change.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
So to be clear, Mark Cuban says that one of
the greatest things about Kamala Harris is that she flip
flops on every single issue, So therefore you should support her.
That's what the dude just said. You should just oh, well,
people like, she's not an ideologue, so she flip flops
on everything. She changes on everything. That's what was just
(05:37):
said there, folks, So get excited because she's a flip
flopper and you don't know what she really wants to do,
and that's a good thing because she's constantly changing all
of the time, and that's good. I have a little
bit of.
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Just I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
I was as I watched this, I'm like, are you
kidding me? That's what you're now saying, Like this is
how well you're willing to go. And then he also Isaac,
I'm not a Democrat, dude, You're you're for a Marxist
socialist communists in Kama Harris, who what's price controls? And
you're this rich guy that's completely out of tech reality.
Or you're just a hack that to sell out because
(06:16):
you want a position you can't buy and the only
way to get it is to help her get elected.
So listen to this on him trying to convince me
he's not a Democrat, Like, give me a break.
Speaker 9 (06:27):
Hey, Mark, what do you think happens if this is
as close as the polls are.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
Suggesting that it will be.
Speaker 9 (06:33):
I don't know if we believe the polls are not,
But if it does come down to a matter of
you know, a few thousand or maybe ten thousand votes
over those very key districts that you just talked about
in some very key swing states, what happens?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
See what happened in twenty twenty.
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Yeah, sent to.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
Happen in twenty twenty.
Speaker 9 (06:53):
And how does that play out?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I mean, obviously there's a greater than zero chance that
something happens, but I hope not. And you know that
Donald Trump is going to claim it's not a fair election,
and you know, do whatever he does. At least he's
not in office with the power to, you know, try
to force a January sixth like situation.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
If it's a close vote and it goes to Donald
Trump while Democrats behave the same.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yeah, I'm not a Democrat. I mean, you know, I
won't be happy, but I'll accept it. You know, I
really don't care what Democrats do. I don't care what
independent or republics to do. I just want what's best
for the country.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
I love it. You mean, like burn down cities like
Black Lives Matter, When you're burning down police stations and
you're on TV like, oh, it's mostly peaceful protests. Is
that what you're talking about? I I the idea that
he's not a Democrat when you're when you're out there
hawking Kamala Harris every day twenty four to seven, because
you're so desperate for some sort of government appointment, and
(07:52):
then you're like, I'm not a Democrat, like, dude, you'reint
a Republican because I know what we believe in. You
don't believe what we believe. Like you're advocating for a
woman that's trying to destroy this country with price controls,
which you know don't work, but you still want this
job so bad you're like, screw it, I will sell
my soul to commerce in the Democratic Party. And then
you're like, well, I'm not a Democrat, like dude, shut up.
(08:15):
Like it is amazing these guys that will just say
whatever the hell it takes to get power, and he's
at the top of that list. Now, Like this is
just pandering, and I hope that people actually see through it.
I really do, Like I hope that people see this
(08:36):
and they realize, like, just how absurd this really is,
because it really is absurd. Donald Trump on how he
plans to control sanctuary cities. Here's what he had to
say in an exclusive conversation he had in a barber
shop this morning on Fox and Friends. Take a listen
(08:57):
this fellow right here.
Speaker 10 (08:58):
It used to be a law enforcement perc of the
what would you say is the most important issue facing
the country right now.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
For me, it's the border, right right?
Speaker 11 (09:07):
Is the border?
Speaker 12 (09:08):
I agree?
Speaker 13 (09:09):
And how to control that, how to keep illegal migrants
from coming into the country very important for me. And
if I had a question to ask about, it would
be how do we do the how do we control
the city sanctuary city because New York is the.
Speaker 14 (09:31):
We get rid of them. We get rid of them
because they're sanctuary. You know what, They're for criminals and
all over the country the criminals go there. But you're right,
you know, the polls are showing that inflation and the border,
not the border. If the border's third, they have inflation
and the economy as the number one and number two issue.
I disagree. I think inflation is massive, the economy is massive.
(09:54):
But the border to me is like it's the fabric
of our country. And we had the strongest or in
recorded history.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
Four years ago.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
You had a board.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
You didn't have the problems that you have now.
Speaker 14 (10:05):
Last week they announced that we had thirteen thousand and
ninety nine convicted murderers released from.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Jails all over the world.
Speaker 14 (10:12):
You know, it's not South America, it's all over the world,
including South America.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So I agree with you.
Speaker 14 (10:18):
I think the biggest problem we have is the border.
It's something and it's also the hardest thing to solve
and the only way you can solve. But you have
to get the criminals, the murderers.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You got to get them out.
Speaker 14 (10:28):
You got to get them out fast before they prey
on our people.
Speaker 13 (10:31):
And that was big question for me because I'm a
retired New York.
Speaker 1 (10:36):
City so in New York we've run across that.
Speaker 14 (10:40):
Well, the other problem you have is that you're not
allowed to do your job. And when you were there,
you go back ten fifteen years, when you were there,
you were allowed to do your job. New York's finance,
there's still New York's Vince, but they're not allowed to
do their job.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
They're allowed to do their job. Donald Trump having a
very honest conversation about what it's going to look like
for Donald Trump and for Americans if this actually happens.
Pennsylvania still workers this morning, Trump saved our job by
imposing tariffs on China, turning the narrative in Pennsylvania on
(11:16):
what the left has been saying that if Donald Trump
gets in office, all these Americans still workers are going
to lose their job. Guess what still workers are like, Uh,
we've been losing our jobs under the Biden Harris regime.
Sylvania is a swing state. I think, honestly, based on
the map I've seen so far this year, that Pennsylvania
(11:37):
there's a very very very very very very good chance
that Pennsylvania is going to be the swing state that
will probably push the election to Harris or to Donald Trump.
I've been looking at the models. I'm a geek like that,
(11:59):
I'll admit it. And what I've been seeing it's pretty
clear that this is what it's going to look like.
I want you to hear what these steel workers had
to say as they were interviewed on Fox as well
this morning about the truth about Donald Trump.
Speaker 15 (12:12):
So joining us.
Speaker 16 (12:13):
Now, those steel workers who joined Trump on the stage.
You have Brian Pavlac, you have Richard Tiger, you have
Andy Macy and Glenn Thomas. Hey, guys, morning, Okay, So
what was it like Richard?
Speaker 6 (12:27):
I'll start with you.
Speaker 16 (12:28):
What was it like to be up there on stage
to meet him and to have a chance to talk
to him and represent the steel industry, like.
Speaker 17 (12:36):
Go on a lifetime experience. I was glad I got
to get my members up there and they got to
see him. It was like all about my members to
me and meet mister Trump. Mister Trump kind of saved
all of our jaws.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
So, Brian, what was the key point for you where
you said, I want to do this endorsement among the
rank and file, and I want to do it in
front of a crowd.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 12 (12:58):
It was a great experience. I'm glad that he accepted it,
the endorsement, and I just wanted the people to know
as a still worker for Trump. I want people to
know that all are still workers in the Man Valley
or for President Trump.
Speaker 10 (13:13):
So Glenn, I'm curious. Typically union workers in your industry,
we know them to endorse Democrats. Why Donald Trump this
go around?
Speaker 8 (13:23):
Well, historically we've all been Democrats. A couple of us
up here a third generation steel workers, and we had
a trade case years ago that our ex International President
Tom Conway was fighting against the Chinese for illegal dumping.
And when President Trump stepped in and he imposed those
(13:44):
taffs on the Chinese, I firmly believed that he saved
the steel industry, not only in our country, but the
Moon Valley where many of us have lived for close
to thirty years.
Speaker 6 (13:55):
Andy, how about you?
Speaker 16 (13:56):
Why are you supporting Trump?
Speaker 18 (13:59):
Well, number one is to protect the jobs in our valley.
I'm a third generation steel worker. I've been through those layoffs.
It's not fun. I've seen three meals shut down in
the valley in the eighties. We have three meals left
in the valley. I don't want to see those shut down.
And he made a firm commitment. When I asked him
(14:21):
with a handshake, mister President, after the election, will you
do what you can to keep our Mond Valley viable
in the steel industry. He gripped my hand and confirmed
to me through that handshake that he says I will
do that.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
So Andy, tell me.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
Tell me that. So you take him at his word, Andy,
tell me about the business. We don't have a steel
worker's background. If US steel is the quality that is
the world standard, why is US steel struggling? Is it
the labor cost, the virtual slave labor of these other
countries that you're competing.
Speaker 18 (15:02):
With, Competition still coming in from other countries. We're a
world leader. We are.
Speaker 12 (15:11):
We have the.
Speaker 18 (15:13):
Most efficient coke plant in the world. We meet environmental
standards which are very tough to meet in Allegheny County.
They're getting more strict. We meet those, we exceed those.
Our steel is the best steel that can be made.
We want to continue that. We have a pending sale
(15:36):
coming up. Uh And the problem we have is our
international leaders aren't meeting with the CEO from US Steel
and from npon and over the past year we've learned
facts about this that it's not sitting well with the
(15:56):
membership because we are behind the sale. But our international
needs to get to the table, get the facts and
then bring it to the membership instead of the membership
taking it to our international leaders.
Speaker 7 (16:12):
Hey brought about that Japanese company that's trying.
Speaker 14 (16:15):
To buy it.
Speaker 10 (16:15):
Brian, we got about fifteen seconds. I'm just curious if
Kamala here is wins, what does that mean for your industry.
Speaker 18 (16:23):
We're done.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
I think we're done. It's going to be tough because
she even said if she's elected president, she's going to
take off the tariffs, all tariffs, steel, tariffs, all kinds
of terres. He called it the tax on the American people.
And she's talking about terrors. So we need President Trump
elected to save our jobs, all.
Speaker 16 (16:43):
Right, Richard and Glenn, I think they're giving us a
little bit more time.
Speaker 6 (16:46):
We did have fifteen seconds.
Speaker 16 (16:47):
But because y'all are so good and this is interesting,
we wanted to ask you on the back.
Speaker 6 (16:50):
Row, why the momentum.
Speaker 16 (16:52):
Why are we seeing that switch more to Donald Trump
and you used to think steel workers unions, that's going
to the Democrats.
Speaker 12 (17:00):
Once again.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Uh.
Speaker 17 (17:01):
He put the tariffs on us when he was president
the last time and our jobs were in jeopardy. Then
there was too much dumping and steel from China and
other countries, and he.
Speaker 18 (17:13):
Said our job. It was one of the first things
he did when he got into the presidency is to
put those tariffs on and they worked.
Speaker 8 (17:22):
We've all seen growing up around here in in the
Pittsburgh area since the seventies when the when the Japanese
actually did that to us, they dumped steel at extremely
low prices. It forced a lot of our steel industry LTV,
j n L, some US steel places to close down
(17:43):
because we could not compete. When we fought that trade case,
they leveled the playing field for us, and then we
were able to compete in the world market.
Speaker 18 (17:54):
We wanted we want to get back to that. That's
why when you look at the the ship to nip
On Steel. They want us to be a bigger player
in the global market. So the workforce, our union brothers
and sisters, we are We're for it. We are for
that self we have we can't we can't stress enough
(18:18):
to get the international Just to go to the table
and meet with them. That's all we're asking at this point.
Meet with them.
Speaker 5 (18:26):
That's important. You are for this Japanese company buying us steel.
Speaker 18 (18:32):
The rank and file is is for it.
Speaker 5 (18:37):
Because you feel as though they'll be able to put
the money into expand and keep it here.
Speaker 14 (18:42):
Right.
Speaker 18 (18:42):
Yes, that they promised to rebuild we have We have
a hot meal at our urban plant that was built
in nineteen thirty eight. How do you compete with that
with modern technology today that's available. We want that. We
want that in the Mond Valley. We cannot lose one
job in the Mond Valley.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
You listen to these workers and in Pennsylvania, they've got
to be telling their family and friends this. They've got
to be feeling it like they have to be.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
There's no way they're not.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
There is no way they are not. Pennsylvania still workers
coming out for Donald Trump, saying he saved our jobs
and telling everyone in Pennsylvania, unless you want there to
be massive unemployment, you might want to actually vote for
Donald Trump. I look at this, and there's two ways
(19:39):
this goes right now. Either people look at this honestly
and they decide this is what it is, that's number one,
or they just stick their head in the sand and
they go with what MSNBC says. The left in the media,
they're all now focused on this final attack ad or stage,
and it is that Donald Trump is a authoritarian regime
(20:01):
and that he's never going to give up power, even
though he did last time, and that he's going to
be a dictator in a tyrant. That's like they're closing
argument to the American people.
Speaker 11 (20:10):
So, as you said the other night, the choice cannot
be clearer.
Speaker 8 (20:16):
It just came.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I don't know how it could.
Speaker 11 (20:18):
And what a lot of the people who are kind
of on the bubble here who are going to decide
this in many ways are people who have to say
and who are in their minds saying, yeah, Trump may
be crazy, but she's a socialist or whatever the butt
is to get to where they want to get because
(20:38):
they want to get to voting for they want to
get to voting against Democrats. Right, that's any justification. You know,
you're going to grab anything on your way to try
to get there. To me, the choice is, yes, he
is an authoritarian figure, and just because it didn't work
(21:00):
last time doesn't mean it won't work this time.
Speaker 6 (21:02):
If it weren't for Mike Pence, we very well.
Speaker 11 (21:06):
Could have created fourteen days of chaos in this country
that would have led to an election in the House
of Representatives that would have taken a free and fair
election away from President Biden.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Right.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
I mean that's and again that's not us speculating. That's
what they said they wanted to do. So the choice,
the choice here has to be not all right, I
understand he's authoritarian, but he doesn't really mean it. Let's
try to be voters who don't say, but let's say
and yes, he's a creepingly authoritarian fig authoritarian figure, and therefore.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
I'm going to vote. I may disagree about policy, I may.
Speaker 11 (21:43):
Disagree about this or that with Vice President Harris, but
let's be clear.
Speaker 6 (21:48):
Vice President Harris is not going to send a mob.
Speaker 11 (21:50):
To the Capitol and try to disrupt the peaceful transfer
of power. She's not going to talk about the enemy within.
She's not going to do this, and we if in fact,
you know what, ye remember we're talking to some folks
during the twenty twenty cycle.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
If he wins, maybe this is who we are.
Speaker 11 (22:06):
And maybe that's the complicated, terrible reality we're gonna have
to confront.
Speaker 6 (22:12):
But let's try not to be that country.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
There it is, let's try not to be that country.
Really like this, really this is so he's an authoritarian.
You can't trust him, and therefore you got to vote
for a woman that no one voted for because at
least she's not a authoritarian. Meanwhile, she's full blown Marxist
communist saying I'm gonna do price controls and I'm gonna
(22:36):
give an amnesty to twenty million illegal immigrants in this country.
That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna do that. It's like,
are you kidding me? And this is how you're gonna
play this. This is how this is gonna rule, Like,
this is how this is gonna work, Like this is
this is the closing argument. I mean, this is it.
(22:56):
This is the closing argument. So Orangeman's it's still bad.
We can't attack his policies. We can't attack anything that
he's actually advocating or standing for. We're just gonna say
Orange Man is bad. Wow. All right, So there was
a town hall on CNN hours after Kamala Harris looks
(23:17):
for another assassin to go take out Donald Trump and
says Donald Trump is Adolf Hitler after two people try
to kill him, and she's feeling that this campaign slipping away,
so she goes out there and does an official press conference,
reading from mateleprompter, telling everybody that Donald Trump is Hitler
and since Donald Trump is Hitler, you know you should
like do your thing.
Speaker 7 (23:37):
It's beyond sick. Now.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
The CNN event didn't go very well. Harris was asked
a question not about the innocent Jews are being killed,
but the Palestinians who actually support Hamas and Hesbla being killed.
And one of the radicals of the Democratic Party was
in the audience and asked her a question, I want
you to listen to this, and then her response and
is Anderson could gets involved.
Speaker 15 (24:01):
Madam Vice President.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
My question is, as president, what would you do to
ensure not another Palestinian dies due to bombs being funded
by US tax dollars.
Speaker 19 (24:11):
So I will say, and I think this is to
your point, far too many innocent Palestinian civilians have been killed.
Speaker 15 (24:20):
It's unconscionable, and we.
Speaker 19 (24:23):
Are now at a place where, with Sinmar's death, I
do believe we have an opportunity to end this war,
bring the hostages home, bring relief to the Palestinian people,
and work toward a two state solution where Israel and
the Palestinians an equal measure, have security, where the Palestinian
(24:46):
people have dignity, self determination, and the safety that they
still rightly deserve.
Speaker 20 (24:54):
What do you say to voters who are thinking about
supporting a third party candidate or staying on the couch
not voting at all because of this issue.
Speaker 19 (25:05):
Listen, I am not going to deny the strong feelings
that people have. I don't know that anyone who has
seen the images who would not have strong feelings about
what has happened, much less those who have relatives who
have died and been killed. And I know people have
(25:26):
talked with people, so I appreciate that. But I also
do know that for many people who care about this issue,
they also care about bringing down the price of groceries.
They also care about our democracy and not having a
president of the United States who admires dictators and as
a fascist.
Speaker 15 (25:45):
They also care about.
Speaker 19 (25:46):
The fact that we need practical, common sense solutions from
a leader who is willing to work across the aisle
on behalf of the American people and not themselves. They
want a president who cares about a fundamental freek them
to make decisions about your own body, understanding that we're
not trying to change anyone's belief but let's not have
(26:06):
the government telling women what to do with their body.
Speaker 7 (26:09):
I want you to meet Beth Sandberg.
Speaker 20 (26:11):
She's a realtor, a mom of four from Bella Kinwood, Pennsylvania.
She's a registered Democrat says she's undecided because of concerns
about anti Semitism.
Speaker 13 (26:18):
Beth, Hi, thank you for being here and thank you
for remembering we need to bring the hostages home.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Of course I love that part. Did you notice? So
she gives us word salad answer, and she basically says,
I get it. I don't want to kill any more
of these terrorists before the people supporting the terrorists. And
then the very next person, Beth, he's a realator, is like, hey,
thanks for working to bring the hostages home. What like,
(26:43):
are we at two different town halls here, what like what.
Speaker 14 (26:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Van Jones, he's angry, by the way, on CNN after
this nightmare of a I mean it's a nightmare of
a town hall. Whatever the hell you want to you know,
whatever you want to call it, because she went off
(27:09):
the rails completely. Did you know last night here said
we can study packing the Supreme Court.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
She was asked about the Spring Court.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
She's like, yeah, if they're not doing what we want,
we'll just pack it and then we'll get.
Speaker 7 (27:18):
Enough people on there to do what we want.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
That's what dictators do. That is what tyrants do. Like
they just expand their court anytime they get to ruin.
They don't, like Derek, I'd screw you guys.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
You're nine of you. Watch this.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I'll give you fifteen now though, I'll be my people,
and now I get they do what I tell them
to do.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
You don't believe me. Look at Venzuela. You don't believe me.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Look at Mexico. Look at what Venzuela's court says. I'm
just too down there. They had a fraudulent election. Everybody
knows it was fraudulent, and what did the court do? No,
it's good. Oh, it's good and all the people on
the court will die if they don't do what he says,
because he's the one that gave them their job. So
Kama Harris has asked about this, like, Hey, if you
know the Supreme Court, I'm packing it.
Speaker 7 (27:53):
She's like, oh, yeah, I got an answer for that. Yeah.
The answers yes, I'll pack the Supreme Court, no problem.
Speaker 21 (27:58):
I appreciate that you did. Icknowledg that we are a
country that is faced with problems and issues, with the
Supreme Court being plagued with issues, would you be in
favor of expanding the court to say twelve, so each
justice has only one circuit court other than Chief Justice
to assist in making judgments more balanced.
Speaker 19 (28:17):
Well, to your point, there is no question that the
American people increasingly or losing confidence in the Supreme Court,
and in large part because of the behavior of certain
members of that court and because of certain rulings, including
the Dobs decision and taking away a precedent that had
been in place for fifty years protecting a woman's right
(28:37):
to make decisions about our own body. So I do
believe that there should be some kind of reform of
the court and we can study what that actually looks like.
Speaker 15 (28:46):
But I do believe.
Speaker 19 (28:46):
But again, let's just while you raise the point of
the court, understand that again, in thirteen days, the American
people will decide who is the next president of the
United States.
Speaker 15 (28:57):
In thirteen days, you.
Speaker 19 (28:58):
Will decide who is sitting in the Oval Office on
January twentieth. And on one hand, you have in Donald Trump,
someone who has increasingly proved himself to be unstable, and who,
as we have established and the people close to him
have established, he is unfit to serve. Somebody who on
January twentieth, you can be sure will spend full time,
(29:20):
like we know, and we've seen the image mentally of
him sitting in the dining room off of the Oval Office,
watching for hours as people.
Speaker 15 (29:29):
Violently attack the capital.
Speaker 19 (29:31):
You can be sure, because he has said he would
weaponize the Department of Justice to go after his political enemies,
that you can look at a Donald Trump in the
White House after January twentieth, sitting in that Oval Office
plotting his revenge. He has talked about the enemies within.
We haven't even raised that subject. Anderson, the enemy is within.
(29:51):
He's talking about the American people. He's talking about journalists, judges,
nonpartisan election officials. He has talked about, as John Kelly
has talked about, can he send the military after peaceful protesters,
and he's gonna sit there unstable, unhinged, plotting his revenge,
(30:16):
plotting his retribution, creating an enemy's list.
Speaker 15 (30:22):
I'm going to tell you my list.
Speaker 19 (30:24):
Will be a list of how I address and continue
to address the issues that you all are raising this afternoon,
in the evening, it will be a to do list
about how we can impact the American people and lift
up the American people and address some of the challenges
that we continue to face.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
I want to get, by the way, that's one hell
of an answer. After she's asked about packing the court. Right,
so this person the education administration manager for the PA
Department of Corrections. Right, so, woke liberal in the audience, like,
I want to know what you're going to do about
this court, this court. I want to know what you're
(31:03):
gonna do because I don't like what the court's do
it or oh yeah, I will pack the hell out
of the court.
Speaker 7 (31:07):
No, probab, don't worry about that.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
Like it.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
And let me also tell you that this other guy's
unhinged and a tyrant and a dictator. While I'm telling you,
I'm going to pack the Supreme Court so I get
every decision I want done. And if I don't get
what the Supreme Court what I want from them, then
I'll just throw a bunch of more judges on the
Supreme Court. The Supreme Court could be sixty five people,
sixty seven, sixty, whatever the odd number is you need.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
Do you get my point?
Speaker 1 (31:28):
They'll just keep expanding it every time they don't get
the ruling they want. Right. So, right now it's five
to four, So what happens if it changes fifteen to fourteen,
They'll just pack it again. It's twenty two to twenty one,
they'll pack it again, any ruling they don't like.
Speaker 7 (31:40):
What Harris is saying is, I do believe.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
That we should have some kind of reform because they've
undermined the court because they lost to free and fair election.
They now have a conservative court leans conservants at a
liberal and so they're like, we don't like that, we'll
just pack it. We get in charge again, we'll just
pack the hell out of it. That's what dictators and
tyrants have. I actually, do you notice that the closing
argument and I understand why they're doing this. The closing
(32:04):
argument is, hey, if anybody wants to kill Donal Trump,
go for it. And he's hitler, so you have a
moral obligation to kill him. That's closing argument number one.
Closing argument number two is, hey, he's a dictator to tyrant,
and you don't want that guy while we are the
ones that are actually dictators. You know, Donald Trump's not
talking about packing the court, you know it's Republicans aren't
talking about packing the court. In fact, they're about protecting
(32:26):
the court from ever being packed. Because once you start
packing the court, it never stops. It never stops, y'all,
it never stops. So if the Democrats packed the court,
then the Republicans insting' is gonna be like, all right, well,
if we get in charge, we're gonna pack the court
and get it back to us like where it belonged
when we were five to four legitimately.
Speaker 7 (32:42):
So we're just gonna pack the court again.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
So now, Harris, official line is we can study packing
the Supreme Court. That's the official line. The official line
is we'll do it. Yes, let me do it. Hell yeah,
elect me and I will do it. Make sure you
