Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Harris campaign now has a real pr nightmare on
their hands, and that is the Harris campaign is having
to figure out how to scrub the VP choice Waltz
and his stolen Valor Army rank and record. He is
apparently a habitual liar when it comes to his service
(00:22):
in the military. Now there's some there saying, hey, don't
touch this. The guy was in the military, he was
in the reserve for twenty plus years. So what did
he lied about his rank? So what that he lied
about his service a little bit, it's not that big
of a deal. Let me state this very clearly. It
is a big deal. It is a big deal to
(00:43):
the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice
in this country, and men and women that have served
this country, and family members that have loved ones that
have served this country. You don't lie about being a
doctor if you're not a doctor. Okay, you don't lie
about being a pilot if you're not a pilot, and
you're sure as hell, don't lie about serving your country
(01:04):
and seeing combat when you actually didn't see combat.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
These are just.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Some of the things that like, I mean, you don't
want a doctor to be like I'm a doctor, and
all of a sudden, they you know, they're not really one.
They never went to medical school, Like that's a big deal. Well,
it's a big deal when you say that you served
in combat and you actually didn't, and the people around
you that served in the military and did see combat,
it pisses them off, as it should. But what's happening
(01:35):
here is the media is trying to do everything they
can to basically look the other way. They're doing everything
that they can to try to just make this whole
problem go away, which is that this guy has been
lying about his service for as long as he's been
in politics, and that's been quite some time. The Washington
(01:58):
Free Beacon is reporting out this hour that Tim Walts
falsely claimed he served in Afghanistan. A local vet, by
the way, called him out. His office did nothing about
that at the time. The Washington Free Beacon also finding
out that Tim walk Tim Waltz promoted media misrepresentations of
(02:19):
his military service back in two thousand and six when
he was running for office. This includes the Wall Street Journal.
Now I'm going to tell you that story, and I
hope that all of you will share this important information
about Waltz because we're gonna keep diving into it, into
this record and letting you know just what a pathological
(02:39):
liar he is about his service in the military. Let
me also tell you real quick about Patriot Mobile. And
if you are like me and you are tired and
frustrated with woke companies taking your money and then fighting
against your family values, you've got to switch to Patriot
Mobile because when you do, about five percent of your
bill every month actually goes back to support conservative values
(03:03):
at no extra cost to you. That's actually why Patriot
Mobiles started over a decade ago. Patriot Mobile saw what
Big Mobile was doing when they were paying their bills,
and what they did was they gave their money to
hardcore leftist organizations, candidates, causes and organizations that are radical,
for example, like giving your money to people that advocate
(03:24):
for abortions and even pay for them. Well, that's why
I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile, because when you're
with them, you're on the front lines, but you're fighting
for your values. You're standing up and fighting for your
First and Second Amendment rights, you're fighting for the sanctity
of life, and you're supporting our military, our veterans are
wounded warriors and our first responders.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They're the heroes.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, if you want to take a stand, you can
do it right now by switching to Patriot Mobile today.
You're going to get the same nationwide coverage that you're
used to because they use the same exact network that
you're on right now. Plus they their service with a
coverage guarantee. They're one hundred percent US based. Customer service
team will find the best plan for you and many
(04:07):
times save you.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Money over what you're paying. Right now.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You get to keep your same number you have, keep
your phone you've got right now, or upgrade to a
new one. So go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson, or call them
nine to seven to two Patriot right now, and you're
gonna get a free month when you use the offer
code ferguson.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So join me.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Switch to America's only Christian conservative mobile provider Patriot Mobile
dot com slash ferguson or call him at ninety seven
to two Patriot for your free month of service today.
Now let me go back to Waltz in this reporting.
All right, so you understand just how much of a
liar this guy is. A March twentieth, two thousand and
(04:52):
six Wall Street Journal report included in the kit that
his campaign was putting out. It's stay that Walt's quote
served overseas during the early war in Afghanistan. His team
and his campaign knew that was a lie, but they
took that lie and they ran with it, because if
you want a lie to the American people, you get
(05:13):
the media to do it on your behalf. Waltz told
the paper that the Iraq war is quote, not something
that is a political game. Yet that's exactly what he
used it for. Another from January and February of six,
the addition of The Atlantic, describes Waltz as quote, a
command sergeant major who just returned from fighting the war
(05:35):
on terrorism. The piece goes on to characterize Waltz as
one of the number of veterans from the wars in
Afghanistan Iraq who were running for Congress that year. Again,
that is also a lie. Listen to how Jesse Waters
put it on Fox.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Prime Time's been investigating Tim Walls's military record and it's
worse than you thought. And now the Kamala campaign's covering it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Up.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Tonight, we're finding out that when Walls was campaigning for Congress,
he put out a press release he told voters that
he had a duty to serve in Iraq if called on,
But when that call came, he retired, left his battalion
hanging in the vicious Midiest Desert. So while Walls was
heading to Washington, his unit was in Iraq being bombed
by insurgents. The soldiers were away from their families for
(06:25):
like two years. And when he campaigned for Congress and
later governor, he misrepresented what rank he retired at.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I'm a retired command sergeant major and retired sergeant major
in the Army and the Army National Guard. I'm a
school teacher. I'm a retired sergeant major.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Walls last rank was a command sergeant major, but because
he left before he finished the required training, his rank
was reduced when he retired. The Harris campaign was pushing
that rank lie until today they just quietly scrubbed it
from their website.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
We're also finding out Walls likes to wear US Army
Special Forces caps, but he never actually served in the
Special Forces. Wolves was in the National Guard, So why
is he wearing the hat. Does he want you to
think he's Special Forces? Seems like it. He never went
to the Mid East, but when someone wrote a book
and claned he served in Afghanistan, he endorsed it. And
(07:17):
he tells crowds he carried weapons in war. Once again,
not true. Walls was never in the battlefield. He was
deployed to Italy, but there hasn't been action there since
World War Two. Here's the command sergeant who replaced Walls.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Listen, if he thinks Italy was a combat zone or
a war zone and he was carrying that in war,
he's delusional. I mean that was all said, just like
him saying he was a command sergeant major, just another
way to embellish his career beyond what it was, stolen
valor for the people that actually were in war. And
(07:52):
he's the actor.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Only once Walls was elected after campaigning on phony military credentials,
he slapped their soldiers.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
In the face.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Again. You ready, he voted against a bill that expanded veterans'
access to doctors because he wanted to hurt Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Well, I want you to just think about this. The
Harris campaign has had has been forced to scrub Waltz's
Army rank lie off their own website. The guy likes
where US Army Special Forces caps, but next never actually
served in the Special Forces. The guy says he saw
(08:29):
combat when in fact he didn't see combat at all.
You take all this into consideration, and you put in perspective,
you understand now why this is a real problem for
the Harris campaign. They've got to answer questions now about
stolen valor. House Republicans, by the way, coming out also
(08:55):
talking about this. Many Republican veterans who are either in
the House representatives that are running for the House are
blasting the Vice president of candidate Amidstowen vor accusations. Waltz,
who's quote served twenty four years in the National Guard,
including the Minister of the National Guards first Battalion one
(09:15):
twenty fifth Field Artillery, retired shortly before his unit went
to Iraq. By the way, he knew they were going
to be shipped off to Iraq right before he quit.
He did not see combat yet. In a video shared
by the Harris Waltz campaign, he said that he carried
weapons in war.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Polk wol Cup, like many of you did five weeks ago,
and Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know
who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening
with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for
the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army,
and I hunt and I gave the money back, and
I'll tell you what I have been doing. I've been
voting for common sense legislation that protects a second Amendment.
But we can do background checks, we can do CDC research,
we can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states,
(09:59):
and we can make make sure that those weapons of
war that I carried in war is the only place
where those weapons were at.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Those weapons of war that I carried in war, it
never happened, but didn't sound great on the campaign trail.
He's also facing harsh criticism from Senator Tom Cotton and
Republican Vice PRESIDENTI nomine JD. Vance for not going to
Rack with his battalion. Cotton, a veteran who did two
combat tours in the US Army, says Waltz let his
(10:27):
troops go to war interact without him. The sentiments echoed
those of two Army commands sergeant majors, who wrote that
when Waltz retired on May the sixteenth, twenty and five,
he left the one twenty fifth air Field Artillery Battalion
and its soldiers hanging without its senior non commissioned officer
(10:49):
as a battalion prepared for war. That in a letter
published in the West Central Tribune and back in twenty eighteen, Well,
it suddenly filed to run for Congress in February of
five before the unit was notified a potential deployment in
March of the same year. However, the alert came two
(11:10):
months before his retirement. Yeah, he knew he was going
to leave and desert his battalion. Waltz bio also implied
he retired at the rank of E nine when he
actually retired as an E eight. However, he did serve
as an E nime for a time before leaving as
a Master sergeant E eight. But hey, a great story.
(11:33):
Why let the truth get in the way of telling
your incredible valor that you have and how you served
on the battlefield in Iraq. Representative Jim Banks, an Afghanistan veteran,
ripped Waltz on Wednesday as a fraud and remarked it
as crazy. The Kamwa would pick a running mate who
lied about his military service. Yet she did it for
(11:55):
a reason because he is a radical leftist. A radical leftist.
It hates law abiding citizens the Second Amendment, and you're
right by the way to own a gun. Now, look
the Karras campaign. They've obviously got problems with Waltz and
the rollout of him has not gone smoothly. The honeymoon
(12:17):
is certainly over. She's got her own problems outside of
his stolen valor issues. And that is the fact that
she's totally and completely in hiding. Now, when I say
she's in hiding, let me explain just how bad it
is real quick. Kamala Harris has quote pledge to schedule
an interview before the end of the month after speaking
(12:37):
with her team. It's unclear if the interview will take
place in the last three weeks of August or whether
the interview scheduling will take place before August ends. Now,
this is weird because when you're running for president, you
want a lot of press. Harris has not given an
unscripted press conference since she joined the presidential race eighteen
(12:58):
days ago, and is avoiding the press apparently until possibly
Labor Day, which is twenty four days from now. That
is what a longtime Harris ally told Politico. But I've
talked to my team. I wanted us to get an
interview schedule before the end of the month, she said
in Michigan when asked when she would sit down for
(13:19):
her first interview since literally entering the presidential race.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Matter doesn't invent a lot of questions about when you're
gonna sit down for your interviewsin.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Thing that I'm in the needs my team. I want
us to get an interview.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I talk to my team. I want to get an
interview done. It is not normal to not do interviews
when you run for president of the United States of
America unless you have something to hide. Now, earlier, Senator
Cruise and I did a pretty deep political dive into
(13:55):
this issue. Are they trying to hide her on purpose?
I think the answer is clearly yes. So why are
they doing it? And is it because they don't trust
her as a candidate. Take a listen to Senator Cruz
and I's conversation on that. Senator there was two interesting
headlines that really I think encompass what's happening with harris
(14:18):
campaign and hiding her. One of them was Harris quote
refuses to comment on Trump's debate challenge. Then she refused
to comment about doing an interview. Then the campaign quote
declined requests for comment about why Harris declines requests for
comment on the issues of the campaign. That is a
(14:41):
headline you cannot.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Make up well.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
And this is going to be their strategy for the
next eighty eight days. And listen, if you're a Democratic,
stand why this is attractive. To be honest, this was
their strategy in the last election. Joe Biden four years
ago already had severe mental diminution. He was not mentally
up to the campaign. And what did they do? They
(15:05):
literally locked him in the basement. I don't know if
the White House has a basement, but if they have,
it wouldn't surprise me if they had him chained to
a wall. I mean, he was not allowed out, he
was not allowed in camera site, he was not allowed
to speak to a microphone. And I think they put
Kamala in the same cell. And and it's you know,
from the Democrats perspective, if your candidate is really good,
(15:26):
if your candidate is impressive, if your candidate is charming,
if your candidate has powerful and profound things to say,
then you want to get your candidate out there. You
want to inspire people, You want to show this is
our candidate's vision for America. So there's a problem for
Kamala Harrison, for Democrats, their vision for America, it's terrible,
(15:48):
it is radical, it is extreme. Kamala's vision for America
is open borders for four more years. Kamala's vision for
America's trillions more in spending, trillions more in debt and
as a result, in FLA skyrocketing. Kamala's vision for America
is releasing violent criminals from jail. Kamala's vision for America
(16:08):
is undermining our friends and allies, especially the state of Israel.
Kamala's vision for America is continuing to show weakness and
appeasement to our enemies, to Hamas, to Hesbla, to Iran,
to Venezuela, to North Korea, to China, to rush at
all of them. And if you're thinking about it, that's
not a very attractive campaign to actually try to win
(16:29):
in November. So they don't want to do any of that.
What they want to do instead scripts that are sort
of vaguely affirming. Remember, look, Obama ran on a campaign
of hope and change, they're trying to have Kamala 'ron
on a similar campaign open change, hope and change. Don't
ask what the hope is. Don't ask what the change is.
You know, in her speech that's written for it, starting
(16:49):
to say, she's starting to say I'm going to take
on the big corporations and drive down inflation. I never
mind that she is part of the incumbent administration. She
and Joe Biden are the sitting Vice president and President
of the United States. So if there's some magic wand
that the president has, presumably she and Joe would be
(17:09):
waving it. It's empty rhetoric. But I got to tell you, Ben,
it is dangerous because I think from the press's perspective,
there's a very real possibility not only are they going
to let her get away with it, they're going to
be actively complicit because basically what they're doing it is
there punting to the press and saying, you guys got this,
(17:33):
We got eighty eight days, tell the message every day,
and to be honest, at least a couple of weeks
into it, it's working. From from Commal's perspective, things are
going much much better than they were just a couple
of weeks ago, and Ben, let's also pause and think
what a four weeks we've had in politics. In four
(17:55):
weeks in politics, we've seen President Trump shot at and
nearly assassinated. We've seen Joe Biden, the sitting president, unceremoniously
removed from the presidential ballot. We've seen Donald Trump pick
his vice presidential nominee. We've seen Kamala Harris pick her
vice presidential nominee. That's all happened in four weeks. And
(18:17):
I got to say, the entire race has been turned
topsy turvy, and now they want to keep Kamala muzzled
and hidden at all times.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You know, you look at the headline and this one
is one of those that just it's a head scratcher.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Kamala Harris vows to schedule an interview before the end
of the month. Traditionally, Senator, when you're running for office,
especially when you're running for the presidency, you want to
do interviews. You want to be seen. You want people
to be listening to your messaging, your agenda, your plan right,
(18:53):
your goals and aspirations for the country. That's part of campaigning.
But when you walk into this thing and you're Harris,
and you are a radical, You're a socialist, communist, Marxist,
and maybe your agenda isn't that powable to the American people?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Is that part of the strategy?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Why they're like, okay, look, we can hide her and
we don't do the interviews, right, Maybe we do one
here or there. We'll pick somebody that'll be easy, honest,
and we'll just let the media write the story. Donald
Trump bad, Kamwa Harrison not as bad, and that might
get us to election day.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Well. And it's difficult to overstate how strange that is.
Like in a campaign, doing media interviews is number one,
I think a responsibility you owe. But number two, it's
a vehicle typically for getting your message out. So as
you and I are sitting here right now recording this,
it is twelve twenty two in the morning, and I
am on the highway driving back from Austin to Houston.
(19:47):
I'm in the middle of a campaign. So I'm campaigning.
Just today on Thursday, I've done multiple media interviews. That's
what one does when one's running for reelection per Senate,
much less if you're running to be president of the
United States. And it is striking that we are weeks
into her campaign and she's done none. Now, look, I
fully expect she's going to get a couple of servile
(20:08):
journalists to come up and give her some softball interview
and tell her, Madam Vice President, tell us now, and
this is the really important question the American people want
to know, Are you more beautiful or are you more brilliant?
How do you answer that that? I'm sure they'll do that.
They'll tee up some fawning sick of fans if we
had a functioning press coll Let's take for example, this week.
(20:31):
This week we had a really consequential set of primaries
in Missouri, and in particular, Corey Bush, one of the
members of the Squad, Corey Bush, was beaten in a
Democrat primary. Now, Corey Bush's views are noxious, they're radical
to their extreme. Corey Bush, like Kamala Harris, has been
a leading voice for abolishing the police and defunding the police.
(20:52):
Corey Bush, like Kamala Harris, has been viciously anti Israel,
has courted the pro Hamade wing of the Democrat Party.
In fact, she is the Prohomas wing of the Democrat Party.
Corey Bush was beaten and was beaten significantly in a
Democrat primary, and you know hadn't said a word about it.
Kamala Harris, not a word, nothing to say about it,
(21:13):
Nothing to see here. Now, if you actually had reporters
that said, you know, I got a job, I'm actually
a reporter. I'm supposed to ask, not the questions that
the campaign wants me to ask. I'm supposed to ask
the difficult questions. Someone would have asked Kamala Harris before
the primary on Tuesday, Hey, Kamala, what do you think
of Corey Bush? Should she win her primary or not?
(21:35):
Nobody asked that. She didn't answer that. After Corey Bush
is beaten, Hey, Kamala, what do you think about one
of the squad members being beaten? What do you think
about the fact that she's the second squad member beaten
this year? Jamal Bowman in New York was beaten earlier
this year, again in a Democrat primary. What do you
think about that? By the way, Corey Bush, when she lost,
gave this vicious anti Israel, anti Semitic speech where she
(21:59):
blamed a pack. Now that that, if you're a hardcore leftist,
is the best villain imaginable a pack? Oh? You're you're
envisioning like like like Mephistopheles twirling his mustache as you say. APAK,
that's who she blamed. Does anyone ask Kamala harris A, Kamala,
who are you with? Are you with Corey Busher? Or
(22:21):
do you agree with APEC? That's true? APEC raised a
bunch of money against Corey Bush. Why because Corey Bush
has been viciously anti Israel and APAK is a group
that raises money to strengthen the US Israel relationship. But
Kamala is trying to walk a tight rope. Or she
wants the support of the Squad, She wants the support
(22:41):
of the Squad supporters, She wants the support of the
Rabbit anti Semites in Dearborn, Michigan. She wants the support
of the Rabbit anti Semites in Minnesota in the Democrat Party,
but she also doesn't want to alienate the other votes
she needs. And right now the media is perfectly okay
with nothing to see here. Let's get back to saying
(23:02):
what a great, wonderful historic candidate you are. And oh, oh,
did you see the crowds at a rallies? Wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful Hosanna, Hosanna, hosanna.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So so let's go to Tim then, how important is
he as a VP candidate if they're going to hide her,
because he hasn't exactly had the best rowout either.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
He is a radical, far left guy.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
They've tried to turn him into some sort of you know,
moderate individual that's been backfiring in an incredible way. He's
someone that has repeatedly called, for example, for universal health
care that's really come to be an issue over the
last twenty four hours. He also says he wants to
raise taxes on Americans in a big way, saying that
the rich need to pay their fair share. And then
(23:47):
just some of his radical beliefs now that he's having
answer questions about abortion on demand, you know, voter id
that he didn't want to have, and allowing illegal immigrants
to be involved in politics at a local level. He
even mentioned before. These are things that are coming back
to I think haunt the campaign in a sense.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Do they hide him as well?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Well? Listen, Historically vice presidential picks have not made a
huge difference. That's something Trump has said a number of times,
and he's right in that historically, presidential elections are about
the presidential nominees, and the VP typically has a very
marginal impact on the edges. A VP can make a
difference in a given state sometimes. But I will say
(24:32):
right now, I think the folks on the writer are
very focused on Tim Waltz. That's fine, But the biggest
value of Tim Waltz is to illustrate how radical Kamala is,
because Kamala is the nominee, and understand, Kamala is a
wild eyed leftist. As the nonpartisan gov Track website identified,
(24:56):
she was in twenty nineteen the single most liberal United
States senator out of one hundred. She was number one hundred,
the most extreme to the left, to the left of
Bernie Sanders, to the left of Elizabeth Warren. So it
is not surprising that she picks as her VP not
Josh Shapiro, a perceived moderate Democrat who could potentially deliver
(25:19):
a swing state, but who would piss off the Prohomas
core of the Democrat Party because he's Jewish and by
the way, it really speaks volumes just how bad an
action here heert? I want on this point, I want
to play a segment from CNN because I want you
to listen to CNN the commentators talking about how that
(25:44):
they're kind of glad that Kamala didn't pick Josh Shapiro.
Why because it would tick off the radicals and the
Prohamas base of the Democrat Party. And they said, well,
that'd be bad. We don't want to tick them off.
And Jake Tapper, I got to say, and I wish
this was one of our video episodes. It's just audio.
I wish you could see it, but you ought to
(26:06):
just listen because he is so uncomfortable because the CNN
commentators are basically saying, well, she obviously couldn't pick a
jew because the leftists and the Democrat Party would get
really mad if her nominee was Jewish. And you can
see Jake Tapper going, no, no, stop stop saying this.
(26:28):
But give a listen to this exchange because it really
shows number one, how poisoned and extreme the Democrat Party
has been, as reflected by their mouthpieces on CNN. But
number two, it shows that Tim Waltz pick I think
is very revealing of who Kamala Harris is. Give a listen.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
And I think ultimately Shapiro, I think fit is important.
But you know, I also think that when you look
at the principle of do no harm. Maybe they did say,
in a state like Minnesota, do we want to those
one hundred thousand uncommitted voters who came out about the
Gaza war? Do we want to antagonize those voters? Those
(27:13):
are all parts of part of the questions as well.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
But I just say Tim Walls also spoke conciliatorily towards
those people. He said, look, that uncommitted vote is significant
and those people should be heard.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
So having that.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
Kind of response, I think is probably more of an
open door to the parts of the party that have
been very frustrated with the Democrats.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
So but just to just to one point on the
on the on the Gaza war, Shapiro has the same
position on Israel that Governor Walls that the Senator Kelly has.
He's actually been more critical of Netanyahu than the other two.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
But he is Jewish and also.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
The face of the crackdown on the protests.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Right.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
He spoke very vehemently about those campus protests as being
anti Semitic.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Not all of them, the ones that were anti Semitic,
he criticized this being anti snitic.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
He was out front on the issue. So I'm wondering
if that's the kind of thing that again for the
activist wing of the party.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Absolutely was a slap in the face. Senator, you hear that.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And I have to think that this is going to
start hurting Harris and Waltz's campaign if you just alienated
Jewish voters like this, but not just that those that
also stand with Israel. And I do have friends that
are liberal that stand with Israel and are proud to
(28:39):
stand with Israel. This is not going to sit well
with them either.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Well, and look, look CNN is reporting there, and again
I wish you could see Jake Tapper. You and I
both know Jake Tapper, but if you watch the video
of this, Tapper is so painfully uncomfortable with what the
CNN commentator is saying. Because the sann come to like, well,
you know, there are a bunch of voters in Minnesota
(29:03):
that that that that voted uncommitted. Why because they were
mad at Joe Biden that he wasn't anti Israel enough. Yes,
he'd undermined Israel from day one, but but but he
was willing to provide some weapons to Israel, and they
were mad and and and so so you know, maybe
this was a wise decision to go with Waltson not Shapiro,
and it's interesting. Tapper goes, well, wait a second. On
the policy positions, Shapiro stated, policy is the same as Waltz's,
(29:29):
is the same as Mark Kelly's. Is the difference that
he's Jewish. And the commentator doesn't answer, but the answer
is basically, well yeah, no, no, no, no, they're Matt. They
don't want yeah, and he won Jewish on the ticket, Like,
it's not the policy, it's the fact that he's Jewish.
And and then so she actually goes back said she's like, no, no, no,
(29:49):
She tries to dodge, and she says, no, no, no,
it's that he denounced the anti Semitic protests on campus.
And Tapper's like, well, yeah, the the ones that were
anti Semitic. And the commenters say, well, well, well you
just you don't want to make the people mad who
(30:09):
like anti Semitic protests. But like that was her argument,
is because he is Jewish. She didn't admit that, but
that was obviously what she meant. And b because he
dared say viciously anti Semitic protests are wrong, that the
risk was too high for him to be on the ticket.
(30:31):
And so where instead did Kamala go? And she went
to Tim Waltson And listen again, I think we should
not obsess about Tim Waltz. He's not gonna matter a
whole lot at the end of the day. Now, the media,
as much as they're trying to turn Kamala into Saint Kamala,
they're trying to turn Tim Walton Nanny Griffith. He is
(30:52):
a Midwestern coach, He's a dad. He's gosh, golly.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Ge wooo.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I mean, he's just a nice old fella. He like
pets himself some dogs, and he's just gosh, Grandpa Joe
and this guy. Okay, I'm gonna give some unsolicited advice
to the Trump campaign. Focus on the substance of Kamala
(31:20):
Harris's record and Tim Waltz's record. Both of them are
radical and extreme. Don't get don't get distracted, don't go
down to digression. The media wants you to go down
to digression. These two are the most radical two people
ever nominated by a major party to be president and
(31:42):
vice president. Their records are identical. The reason Kamala Harris
picked Tim Waltz is she wanted a fellow radical. And
actually one illustration that I that I think really speaks volumes.
You know you look at you. And I've talked about
this before. Bernie Sanders, Mike colleague in the Senate. When
he got married, he made the decision to honeymoon in
(32:06):
the Soviet Union. Now that's bizarre, like like, I don't
know who says, Okay, I'm on my honeymoon. Where do
I want to go? The Soviet Union? Comrade, that's where
I want to be. Look, Heidi and I we went
to Saint Thomas. We went to the beach. It was
really pretty. We had some bararitas, doc dakers. We walked
barefoot in the sand, like like that's what you do.
Where did you guys go in your honeymoon?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Ben?
Speaker 4 (32:27):
And if you say the Soviet Union?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
We went down to Yeah, we went down to Mexico exactly.
It was like, hey, where's a direct flight out of Houston?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
How uh?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It was like Stoppa San Watineo for a week, and
then I surprised her with a second week. She thought
we were flying home and I called her Bosston Saint
Jude and I said, look, can I'm only going to
get two weeks off my whole life one time? Can
I please surprise her? And we went the second week
to Cabo.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
You are a romantic son of a gun. I've ever
been to Zewa and Dajo. All I know is it's
where Tim Robbins was going to go in Shaw Shank Redemption.
And it sure looked pretty in the in the film,
but I haven't been there. What was it? Gorgeous?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
You put it on your list.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
It's it is one of the most gorgeous places I've
ever been in my entire life.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Okay, so let me ask you, do you regret instead
of going to Zeiwa Dajo and walking into the sand,
that you didn't go to the Soviet Union and pay
homage to Marks and Lenin and the heroes of the revolution,
like that's basso.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, you know, And yeah, it was a It was
a toss up, right, It was a big toss up
which one would which one would be better of a surprise,
go to go to Russian maybe never come back, or
go to Mexico and hang out on a beach.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
So the reason it's relevant to talk about where Bernie
went on this honeymoon is it shows what his values are,
what he what he admires, what he cares about, who
he wants to be. Well, Tim Waltz on his honeymoon
went to communist China. Now that's a little weird, but
there's a second piece. And we talked about the fact
that we went to I mean, it's China on Wednesday spot.
(34:01):
But the second piece that broke on Thursday that I
didn't know for Wednesday's spot. Do you know what day
Tim Waltz chose to get married on.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
See when this broke, I was immediate, like, this is
gonna be some internet like rumor, it's gonna get fact check,
it's not gonna be real. I was like, there's no way,
and then sure enough, it is real and you can
tell the audience exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
He chose to get married on the anniversary of the
Timan Square massacre, the t Square where you had hundreds
of thousands, if not millions, of Chinese standing up for freedom,
standing up against oppression, standing up against the oppressive communist bastards,
and the Chinese tyrannical governments sent in tanks mowed them down.
(34:50):
And it is it was an incredible moment of heroism
on the part of the students and the young people
standing up against tyranny, and it was an incredible moment
brutality on the part of the regime stomping them down.
And I got to say, the only word I know
to describe somebody who chooses to get married on the
(35:12):
anniversary of Channemen Square and then Honeymoon's and Communist China,
The only word I know to describe is weird, which
is really funny because well, like the only thing anyone
knows about him is he started running around saying Donald
Trump and Jdvans are weird, and it's like, dude, that
is weird.

And I'll see you back here tomorrow.
The Harris campaign now has a real pr nightmare on
their hands, and that is the Harris campaign is having
to figure out how to scrub the VP choice Waltz
and his stolen Valor Army rank and record. He is
apparently a habitual liar when it comes to his service
(00:22):
in the military. Now there's some there saying, hey, don't
touch this. The guy was in the military, he was
in the reserve for twenty plus years. So what did
he lied about his rank? So what that he lied
about his service a little bit, it's not that big
of a deal. Let me state this very clearly. It
is a big deal. It is a big deal to
(00:43):
the men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice
in this country, and men and women that have served
this country, and family members that have loved ones that
have served this country. You don't lie about being a
doctor if you're not a doctor. Okay, you don't lie
about being a pilot if you're not a pilot, and
you're sure as hell, don't lie about serving your country
(01:04):
and seeing combat when you actually didn't see combat.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
These are just.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Some of the things that like, I mean, you don't
want a doctor to be like I'm a doctor, and
all of a sudden, they you know, they're not really one.
They never went to medical school, Like that's a big deal. Well,
it's a big deal when you say that you served
in combat and you actually didn't, and the people around
you that served in the military and did see combat,
it pisses them off, as it should. But what's happening
(01:35):
here is the media is trying to do everything they
can to basically look the other way. They're doing everything
that they can to try to just make this whole
problem go away, which is that this guy has been
lying about his service for as long as he's been
in politics, and that's been quite some time. The Washington
(01:58):
Free Beacon is reporting out this hour that Tim Walts
falsely claimed he served in Afghanistan. A local vet, by
the way, called him out. His office did nothing about
that at the time. The Washington Free Beacon also finding
out that Tim walk Tim Waltz promoted media misrepresentations of
(02:19):
his military service back in two thousand and six when
he was running for office. This includes the Wall Street Journal.
Now I'm going to tell you that story, and I
hope that all of you will share this important information
about Waltz because we're gonna keep diving into it, into
this record and letting you know just what a pathological
(02:39):
liar he is about his service in the military. Let
me also tell you real quick about Patriot Mobile. And
if you are like me and you are tired and
frustrated with woke companies taking your money and then fighting
against your family values, you've got to switch to Patriot
Mobile because when you do, about five percent of your
bill every month actually goes back to support conservative values
(03:03):
at no extra cost to you. That's actually why Patriot
Mobiles started over a decade ago. Patriot Mobile saw what
Big Mobile was doing when they were paying their bills,
and what they did was they gave their money to
hardcore leftist organizations, candidates, causes and organizations that are radical,
for example, like giving your money to people that advocate
(03:24):
for abortions and even pay for them. Well, that's why
I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile, because when you're
with them, you're on the front lines, but you're fighting
for your values. You're standing up and fighting for your
First and Second Amendment rights, you're fighting for the sanctity
of life, and you're supporting our military, our veterans are
wounded warriors and our first responders.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
They're the heroes.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Well, if you want to take a stand, you can
do it right now by switching to Patriot Mobile today.
You're going to get the same nationwide coverage that you're
used to because they use the same exact network that
you're on right now. Plus they their service with a
coverage guarantee. They're one hundred percent US based. Customer service
team will find the best plan for you and many
(04:07):
times save you.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Money over what you're paying. Right now.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
You get to keep your same number you have, keep
your phone you've got right now, or upgrade to a
new one. So go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson.
That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson, or call them
nine to seven to two Patriot right now, and you're
gonna get a free month when you use the offer
code ferguson.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So join me.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Switch to America's only Christian conservative mobile provider Patriot Mobile
dot com slash ferguson or call him at ninety seven
to two Patriot for your free month of service today.
Now let me go back to Waltz in this reporting.
All right, so you understand just how much of a
liar this guy is. A March twentieth, two thousand and
(04:52):
six Wall Street Journal report included in the kit that
his campaign was putting out. It's stay that Walt's quote
served overseas during the early war in Afghanistan. His team
and his campaign knew that was a lie, but they
took that lie and they ran with it, because if
you want a lie to the American people, you get
(05:13):
the media to do it on your behalf. Waltz told
the paper that the Iraq war is quote, not something
that is a political game. Yet that's exactly what he
used it for. Another from January and February of six,
the addition of The Atlantic, describes Waltz as quote, a
command sergeant major who just returned from fighting the war
(05:35):
on terrorism. The piece goes on to characterize Waltz as
one of the number of veterans from the wars in
Afghanistan Iraq who were running for Congress that year. Again,
that is also a lie. Listen to how Jesse Waters
put it on Fox.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Prime Time's been investigating Tim Walls's military record and it's
worse than you thought. And now the Kamala campaign's covering it.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Up.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Tonight, we're finding out that when Walls was campaigning for Congress,
he put out a press release he told voters that
he had a duty to serve in Iraq if called on,
But when that call came, he retired, left his battalion
hanging in the vicious Midiest Desert. So while Walls was
heading to Washington, his unit was in Iraq being bombed
by insurgents. The soldiers were away from their families for
(06:25):
like two years. And when he campaigned for Congress and
later governor, he misrepresented what rank he retired at.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
I'm a retired command sergeant major and retired sergeant major
in the Army and the Army National Guard. I'm a
school teacher. I'm a retired sergeant major.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Walls last rank was a command sergeant major, but because
he left before he finished the required training, his rank
was reduced when he retired. The Harris campaign was pushing
that rank lie until today they just quietly scrubbed it
from their website.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Tonight.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
We're also finding out Walls likes to wear US Army
Special Forces caps, but he never actually served in the
Special Forces. Wolves was in the National Guard, So why
is he wearing the hat. Does he want you to
think he's Special Forces? Seems like it. He never went
to the Mid East, but when someone wrote a book
and claned he served in Afghanistan, he endorsed it. And
(07:17):
he tells crowds he carried weapons in war. Once again,
not true. Walls was never in the battlefield. He was
deployed to Italy, but there hasn't been action there since
World War Two. Here's the command sergeant who replaced Walls.
Speaker 6 (07:30):
Listen, if he thinks Italy was a combat zone or
a war zone and he was carrying that in war,
he's delusional. I mean that was all said, just like
him saying he was a command sergeant major, just another
way to embellish his career beyond what it was, stolen
valor for the people that actually were in war. And
(07:52):
he's the actor.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Only once Walls was elected after campaigning on phony military credentials,
he slapped their soldiers.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
In the face.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Again. You ready, he voted against a bill that expanded veterans'
access to doctors because he wanted to hurt Trump.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Well, I want you to just think about this. The
Harris campaign has had has been forced to scrub Waltz's
Army rank lie off their own website. The guy likes
where US Army Special Forces caps, but next never actually
served in the Special Forces. The guy says he saw
(08:29):
combat when in fact he didn't see combat at all.
You take all this into consideration, and you put in perspective,
you understand now why this is a real problem for
the Harris campaign. They've got to answer questions now about
stolen valor. House Republicans, by the way, coming out also
(08:55):
talking about this. Many Republican veterans who are either in
the House representatives that are running for the House are
blasting the Vice president of candidate Amidstowen vor accusations. Waltz,
who's quote served twenty four years in the National Guard,
including the Minister of the National Guards first Battalion one
(09:15):
twenty fifth Field Artillery, retired shortly before his unit went
to Iraq. By the way, he knew they were going
to be shipped off to Iraq right before he quit.
He did not see combat yet. In a video shared
by the Harris Waltz campaign, he said that he carried
weapons in war.
Speaker 5 (09:37):
Polk wol Cup, like many of you did five weeks ago,
and Dad said, Dad, you're the only person I know
who's an elected office. You need to stop what's happening
with this. I'll take my kick in the butt for
the NRA. I spent twenty five years in the army,
and I hunt and I gave the money back, and
I'll tell you what I have been doing. I've been
voting for common sense legislation that protects a second Amendment.
But we can do background checks, we can do CDC research,
we can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states,
(09:59):
and we can make make sure that those weapons of
war that I carried in war is the only place
where those weapons were at.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Those weapons of war that I carried in war, it
never happened, but didn't sound great on the campaign trail.
He's also facing harsh criticism from Senator Tom Cotton and
Republican Vice PRESIDENTI nomine JD. Vance for not going to
Rack with his battalion. Cotton, a veteran who did two
combat tours in the US Army, says Waltz let his
(10:27):
troops go to war interact without him. The sentiments echoed
those of two Army commands sergeant majors, who wrote that
when Waltz retired on May the sixteenth, twenty and five,
he left the one twenty fifth air Field Artillery Battalion
and its soldiers hanging without its senior non commissioned officer
(10:49):
as a battalion prepared for war. That in a letter
published in the West Central Tribune and back in twenty eighteen, Well,
it suddenly filed to run for Congress in February of
five before the unit was notified a potential deployment in
March of the same year. However, the alert came two
(11:10):
months before his retirement. Yeah, he knew he was going
to leave and desert his battalion. Waltz bio also implied
he retired at the rank of E nine when he
actually retired as an E eight. However, he did serve
as an E nime for a time before leaving as
a Master sergeant E eight. But hey, a great story.
(11:33):
Why let the truth get in the way of telling
your incredible valor that you have and how you served
on the battlefield in Iraq. Representative Jim Banks, an Afghanistan veteran,
ripped Waltz on Wednesday as a fraud and remarked it
as crazy. The Kamwa would pick a running mate who
lied about his military service. Yet she did it for
(11:55):
a reason because he is a radical leftist. A radical leftist.
It hates law abiding citizens the Second Amendment, and you're
right by the way to own a gun. Now, look
the Karras campaign. They've obviously got problems with Waltz and
the rollout of him has not gone smoothly. The honeymoon
(12:17):
is certainly over. She's got her own problems outside of
his stolen valor issues. And that is the fact that
she's totally and completely in hiding. Now, when I say
she's in hiding, let me explain just how bad it
is real quick. Kamala Harris has quote pledge to schedule
an interview before the end of the month after speaking
(12:37):
with her team. It's unclear if the interview will take
place in the last three weeks of August or whether
the interview scheduling will take place before August ends. Now,
this is weird because when you're running for president, you
want a lot of press. Harris has not given an
unscripted press conference since she joined the presidential race eighteen
(12:58):
days ago, and is avoiding the press apparently until possibly
Labor Day, which is twenty four days from now. That
is what a longtime Harris ally told Politico. But I've
talked to my team. I wanted us to get an
interview schedule before the end of the month, she said
in Michigan when asked when she would sit down for
(13:19):
her first interview since literally entering the presidential race.
Speaker 6 (13:24):
Matter doesn't invent a lot of questions about when you're
gonna sit down for your interviewsin.
Speaker 4 (13:29):
Thing that I'm in the needs my team. I want
us to get an interview.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
I talk to my team. I want to get an
interview done. It is not normal to not do interviews
when you run for president of the United States of
America unless you have something to hide. Now, earlier, Senator
Cruise and I did a pretty deep political dive into
(13:55):
this issue. Are they trying to hide her on purpose?
I think the answer is clearly yes. So why are
they doing it? And is it because they don't trust
her as a candidate. Take a listen to Senator Cruz
and I's conversation on that. Senator there was two interesting
headlines that really I think encompass what's happening with harris
(14:18):
campaign and hiding her. One of them was Harris quote
refuses to comment on Trump's debate challenge. Then she refused
to comment about doing an interview. Then the campaign quote
declined requests for comment about why Harris declines requests for
comment on the issues of the campaign. That is a
(14:41):
headline you cannot.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
Make up well.
Speaker 4 (14:44):
And this is going to be their strategy for the
next eighty eight days. And listen, if you're a Democratic,
stand why this is attractive. To be honest, this was
their strategy in the last election. Joe Biden four years
ago already had severe mental diminution. He was not mentally
up to the campaign. And what did they do? They
(15:05):
literally locked him in the basement. I don't know if
the White House has a basement, but if they have,
it wouldn't surprise me if they had him chained to
a wall. I mean, he was not allowed out, he
was not allowed in camera site, he was not allowed
to speak to a microphone. And I think they put
Kamala in the same cell. And and it's you know,
from the Democrats perspective, if your candidate is really good,
(15:26):
if your candidate is impressive, if your candidate is charming,
if your candidate has powerful and profound things to say,
then you want to get your candidate out there. You
want to inspire people, You want to show this is
our candidate's vision for America. So there's a problem for
Kamala Harrison, for Democrats, their vision for America, it's terrible,
(15:48):
it is radical, it is extreme. Kamala's vision for America
is open borders for four more years. Kamala's vision for
America's trillions more in spending, trillions more in debt and
as a result, in FLA skyrocketing. Kamala's vision for America
is releasing violent criminals from jail. Kamala's vision for America
(16:08):
is undermining our friends and allies, especially the state of Israel.
Kamala's vision for America is continuing to show weakness and
appeasement to our enemies, to Hamas, to Hesbla, to Iran,
to Venezuela, to North Korea, to China, to rush at
all of them. And if you're thinking about it, that's
not a very attractive campaign to actually try to win
(16:29):
in November. So they don't want to do any of that.
What they want to do instead scripts that are sort
of vaguely affirming. Remember, look, Obama ran on a campaign
of hope and change, they're trying to have Kamala 'ron
on a similar campaign open change, hope and change. Don't
ask what the hope is. Don't ask what the change is.
You know, in her speech that's written for it, starting
(16:49):
to say, she's starting to say I'm going to take
on the big corporations and drive down inflation. I never
mind that she is part of the incumbent administration. She
and Joe Biden are the sitting Vice president and President
of the United States. So if there's some magic wand
that the president has, presumably she and Joe would be
(17:09):
waving it. It's empty rhetoric. But I got to tell you, Ben,
it is dangerous because I think from the press's perspective,
there's a very real possibility not only are they going
to let her get away with it, they're going to
be actively complicit because basically what they're doing it is
there punting to the press and saying, you guys got this,
(17:33):
We got eighty eight days, tell the message every day,
and to be honest, at least a couple of weeks
into it, it's working. From from Commal's perspective, things are
going much much better than they were just a couple
of weeks ago, and Ben, let's also pause and think
what a four weeks we've had in politics. In four
(17:55):
weeks in politics, we've seen President Trump shot at and
nearly assassinated. We've seen Joe Biden, the sitting president, unceremoniously
removed from the presidential ballot. We've seen Donald Trump pick
his vice presidential nominee. We've seen Kamala Harris pick her
vice presidential nominee. That's all happened in four weeks. And
(18:17):
I got to say, the entire race has been turned
topsy turvy, and now they want to keep Kamala muzzled
and hidden at all times.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You know, you look at the headline and this one
is one of those that just it's a head scratcher.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Kamala Harris vows to schedule an interview before the end
of the month. Traditionally, Senator, when you're running for office,
especially when you're running for the presidency, you want to
do interviews. You want to be seen. You want people
to be listening to your messaging, your agenda, your plan right,
(18:53):
your goals and aspirations for the country. That's part of campaigning.
But when you walk into this thing and you're Harris,
and you are a radical, You're a socialist, communist, Marxist,
and maybe your agenda isn't that powable to the American people?
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Is that part of the strategy?
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Why they're like, okay, look, we can hide her and
we don't do the interviews, right, Maybe we do one
here or there. We'll pick somebody that'll be easy, honest,
and we'll just let the media write the story. Donald
Trump bad, Kamwa Harrison not as bad, and that might
get us to election day.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Well. And it's difficult to overstate how strange that is.
Like in a campaign, doing media interviews is number one,
I think a responsibility you owe. But number two, it's
a vehicle typically for getting your message out. So as
you and I are sitting here right now recording this,
it is twelve twenty two in the morning, and I
am on the highway driving back from Austin to Houston.
(19:47):
I'm in the middle of a campaign. So I'm campaigning.
Just today on Thursday, I've done multiple media interviews. That's
what one does when one's running for reelection per Senate,
much less if you're running to be president of the
United States. And it is striking that we are weeks
into her campaign and she's done none. Now, look, I
fully expect she's going to get a couple of servile
(20:08):
journalists to come up and give her some softball interview
and tell her, Madam Vice President, tell us now, and
this is the really important question the American people want
to know, Are you more beautiful or are you more brilliant?
How do you answer that that? I'm sure they'll do that.
They'll tee up some fawning sick of fans if we
had a functioning press coll Let's take for example, this week.
(20:31):
This week we had a really consequential set of primaries
in Missouri, and in particular, Corey Bush, one of the
members of the Squad, Corey Bush, was beaten in a
Democrat primary. Now, Corey Bush's views are noxious, they're radical
to their extreme. Corey Bush, like Kamala Harris, has been
a leading voice for abolishing the police and defunding the police.
(20:52):
Corey Bush, like Kamala Harris, has been viciously anti Israel,
has courted the pro Hamade wing of the Democrat Party.
In fact, she is the Prohomas wing of the Democrat Party.
Corey Bush was beaten and was beaten significantly in a
Democrat primary, and you know hadn't said a word about it.
Kamala Harris, not a word, nothing to say about it,
(21:13):
Nothing to see here. Now, if you actually had reporters
that said, you know, I got a job, I'm actually
a reporter. I'm supposed to ask, not the questions that
the campaign wants me to ask. I'm supposed to ask
the difficult questions. Someone would have asked Kamala Harris before
the primary on Tuesday, Hey, Kamala, what do you think
of Corey Bush? Should she win her primary or not?
(21:35):
Nobody asked that. She didn't answer that. After Corey Bush
is beaten, Hey, Kamala, what do you think about one
of the squad members being beaten? What do you think
about the fact that she's the second squad member beaten
this year? Jamal Bowman in New York was beaten earlier
this year, again in a Democrat primary. What do you
think about that? By the way, Corey Bush, when she lost,
gave this vicious anti Israel, anti Semitic speech where she
(21:59):
blamed a pack. Now that that, if you're a hardcore leftist,
is the best villain imaginable a pack? Oh? You're you're
envisioning like like like Mephistopheles twirling his mustache as you say. APAK,
that's who she blamed. Does anyone ask Kamala harris A, Kamala,
who are you with? Are you with Corey Busher? Or
(22:21):
do you agree with APEC? That's true? APEC raised a
bunch of money against Corey Bush. Why because Corey Bush
has been viciously anti Israel and APAK is a group
that raises money to strengthen the US Israel relationship. But
Kamala is trying to walk a tight rope. Or she
wants the support of the Squad, She wants the support
(22:41):
of the Squad supporters, She wants the support of the
Rabbit anti Semites in Dearborn, Michigan. She wants the support
of the Rabbit anti Semites in Minnesota in the Democrat Party,
but she also doesn't want to alienate the other votes
she needs. And right now the media is perfectly okay
with nothing to see here. Let's get back to saying
(23:02):
what a great, wonderful historic candidate you are. And oh, oh,
did you see the crowds at a rallies? Wonderful, wonderful,
wonderful Hosanna, Hosanna, hosanna.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
So so let's go to Tim then, how important is
he as a VP candidate if they're going to hide her,
because he hasn't exactly had the best rowout either.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
He is a radical, far left guy.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
They've tried to turn him into some sort of you know,
moderate individual that's been backfiring in an incredible way. He's
someone that has repeatedly called, for example, for universal health
care that's really come to be an issue over the
last twenty four hours. He also says he wants to
raise taxes on Americans in a big way, saying that
the rich need to pay their fair share. And then
(23:47):
just some of his radical beliefs now that he's having
answer questions about abortion on demand, you know, voter id
that he didn't want to have, and allowing illegal immigrants
to be involved in politics at a local level. He
even mentioned before. These are things that are coming back
to I think haunt the campaign in a sense.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
Do they hide him as well?
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Well? Listen, Historically vice presidential picks have not made a
huge difference. That's something Trump has said a number of times,
and he's right in that historically, presidential elections are about
the presidential nominees, and the VP typically has a very
marginal impact on the edges. A VP can make a
difference in a given state sometimes. But I will say
(24:32):
right now, I think the folks on the writer are
very focused on Tim Waltz. That's fine, But the biggest
value of Tim Waltz is to illustrate how radical Kamala is,
because Kamala is the nominee, and understand, Kamala is a
wild eyed leftist. As the nonpartisan gov Track website identified,
(24:56):
she was in twenty nineteen the single most liberal United
States senator out of one hundred. She was number one hundred,
the most extreme to the left, to the left of
Bernie Sanders, to the left of Elizabeth Warren. So it
is not surprising that she picks as her VP not
Josh Shapiro, a perceived moderate Democrat who could potentially deliver
(25:19):
a swing state, but who would piss off the Prohomas
core of the Democrat Party because he's Jewish and by
the way, it really speaks volumes just how bad an
action here heert? I want on this point, I want
to play a segment from CNN because I want you
to listen to CNN the commentators talking about how that
(25:44):
they're kind of glad that Kamala didn't pick Josh Shapiro.
Why because it would tick off the radicals and the
Prohamas base of the Democrat Party. And they said, well,
that'd be bad. We don't want to tick them off.
And Jake Tapper, I got to say, and I wish
this was one of our video episodes. It's just audio.
I wish you could see it, but you ought to
(26:06):
just listen because he is so uncomfortable because the CNN
commentators are basically saying, well, she obviously couldn't pick a
jew because the leftists and the Democrat Party would get
really mad if her nominee was Jewish. And you can
see Jake Tapper going, no, no, stop stop saying this.
(26:28):
But give a listen to this exchange because it really
shows number one, how poisoned and extreme the Democrat Party
has been, as reflected by their mouthpieces on CNN. But
number two, it shows that Tim Waltz pick I think
is very revealing of who Kamala Harris is. Give a listen.
Speaker 8 (26:48):
And I think ultimately Shapiro, I think fit is important.
But you know, I also think that when you look
at the principle of do no harm. Maybe they did say,
in a state like Minnesota, do we want to those
one hundred thousand uncommitted voters who came out about the
Gaza war? Do we want to antagonize those voters? Those
(27:13):
are all parts of part of the questions as well.
Speaker 9 (27:16):
But I just say Tim Walls also spoke conciliatorily towards
those people. He said, look, that uncommitted vote is significant
and those people should be heard.
Speaker 7 (27:27):
So having that.
Speaker 9 (27:28):
Kind of response, I think is probably more of an
open door to the parts of the party that have
been very frustrated with the Democrats.
Speaker 7 (27:36):
So but just to just to one point on the
on the on the Gaza war, Shapiro has the same
position on Israel that Governor Walls that the Senator Kelly has.
He's actually been more critical of Netanyahu than the other two.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
But he is Jewish and also.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
The face of the crackdown on the protests.
Speaker 4 (27:58):
Right.
Speaker 9 (27:58):
He spoke very vehemently about those campus protests as being
anti Semitic.
Speaker 7 (28:03):
Not all of them, the ones that were anti Semitic,
he criticized this being anti snitic.
Speaker 9 (28:07):
He was out front on the issue. So I'm wondering
if that's the kind of thing that again for the
activist wing of the party.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Absolutely was a slap in the face. Senator, you hear that.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And I have to think that this is going to
start hurting Harris and Waltz's campaign if you just alienated
Jewish voters like this, but not just that those that
also stand with Israel. And I do have friends that
are liberal that stand with Israel and are proud to
(28:39):
stand with Israel. This is not going to sit well
with them either.
Speaker 4 (28:42):
Well, and look, look CNN is reporting there, and again
I wish you could see Jake Tapper. You and I
both know Jake Tapper, but if you watch the video
of this, Tapper is so painfully uncomfortable with what the
CNN commentator is saying. Because the sann come to like, well,
you know, there are a bunch of voters in Minnesota
(29:03):
that that that that voted uncommitted. Why because they were
mad at Joe Biden that he wasn't anti Israel enough. Yes,
he'd undermined Israel from day one, but but but he
was willing to provide some weapons to Israel, and they
were mad and and and so so you know, maybe
this was a wise decision to go with Waltson not Shapiro,
and it's interesting. Tapper goes, well, wait a second. On
the policy positions, Shapiro stated, policy is the same as Waltz's,
(29:29):
is the same as Mark Kelly's. Is the difference that
he's Jewish. And the commentator doesn't answer, but the answer
is basically, well yeah, no, no, no, no, they're Matt. They
don't want yeah, and he won Jewish on the ticket, Like,
it's not the policy, it's the fact that he's Jewish.
And and then so she actually goes back said she's like, no, no, no,
(29:49):
She tries to dodge, and she says, no, no, no,
it's that he denounced the anti Semitic protests on campus.
And Tapper's like, well, yeah, the the ones that were
anti Semitic. And the commenters say, well, well, well you
just you don't want to make the people mad who
(30:09):
like anti Semitic protests. But like that was her argument,
is because he is Jewish. She didn't admit that, but
that was obviously what she meant. And b because he
dared say viciously anti Semitic protests are wrong, that the
risk was too high for him to be on the ticket.
(30:31):
And so where instead did Kamala go? And she went
to Tim Waltson And listen again, I think we should
not obsess about Tim Waltz. He's not gonna matter a
whole lot at the end of the day. Now, the media,
as much as they're trying to turn Kamala into Saint Kamala,
they're trying to turn Tim Walton Nanny Griffith. He is
(30:52):
a Midwestern coach, He's a dad. He's gosh, golly.
Speaker 9 (30:56):
Ge wooo.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I mean, he's just a nice old fella. He like
pets himself some dogs, and he's just gosh, Grandpa Joe
and this guy. Okay, I'm gonna give some unsolicited advice
to the Trump campaign. Focus on the substance of Kamala
(31:20):
Harris's record and Tim Waltz's record. Both of them are
radical and extreme. Don't get don't get distracted, don't go
down to digression. The media wants you to go down
to digression. These two are the most radical two people
ever nominated by a major party to be president and
(31:42):
vice president. Their records are identical. The reason Kamala Harris
picked Tim Waltz is she wanted a fellow radical. And
actually one illustration that I that I think really speaks volumes.
You know you look at you. And I've talked about
this before. Bernie Sanders, Mike colleague in the Senate. When
he got married, he made the decision to honeymoon in
(32:06):
the Soviet Union. Now that's bizarre, like like, I don't
know who says, Okay, I'm on my honeymoon. Where do
I want to go? The Soviet Union? Comrade, that's where
I want to be. Look, Heidi and I we went
to Saint Thomas. We went to the beach. It was
really pretty. We had some bararitas, doc dakers. We walked
barefoot in the sand, like like that's what you do.
Where did you guys go in your honeymoon?
Speaker 3 (32:26):
Ben?
Speaker 4 (32:27):
And if you say the Soviet Union?
Speaker 1 (32:28):
We went down to Yeah, we went down to Mexico exactly.
It was like, hey, where's a direct flight out of Houston?
Speaker 2 (32:35):
How uh?
Speaker 1 (32:36):
It was like Stoppa San Watineo for a week, and
then I surprised her with a second week. She thought
we were flying home and I called her Bosston Saint
Jude and I said, look, can I'm only going to
get two weeks off my whole life one time? Can
I please surprise her? And we went the second week
to Cabo.
Speaker 4 (32:53):
You are a romantic son of a gun. I've ever
been to Zewa and Dajo. All I know is it's
where Tim Robbins was going to go in Shaw Shank Redemption.
And it sure looked pretty in the in the film,
but I haven't been there. What was it? Gorgeous?
Speaker 2 (33:04):
You put it on your list.
Speaker 1 (33:05):
It's it is one of the most gorgeous places I've
ever been in my entire life.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Okay, so let me ask you, do you regret instead
of going to Zeiwa Dajo and walking into the sand,
that you didn't go to the Soviet Union and pay
homage to Marks and Lenin and the heroes of the revolution,
like that's basso.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, you know, And yeah, it was a It was
a toss up, right, It was a big toss up
which one would which one would be better of a surprise,
go to go to Russian maybe never come back, or
go to Mexico and hang out on a beach.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:40):
So the reason it's relevant to talk about where Bernie
went on this honeymoon is it shows what his values are,
what he what he admires, what he cares about, who
he wants to be. Well, Tim Waltz on his honeymoon
went to communist China. Now that's a little weird, but
there's a second piece. And we talked about the fact
that we went to I mean, it's China on Wednesday spot.
(34:01):
But the second piece that broke on Thursday that I
didn't know for Wednesday's spot. Do you know what day
Tim Waltz chose to get married on.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
See when this broke, I was immediate, like, this is
gonna be some internet like rumor, it's gonna get fact check,
it's not gonna be real. I was like, there's no way,
and then sure enough, it is real and you can
tell the audience exactly what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
He chose to get married on the anniversary of the
Timan Square massacre, the t Square where you had hundreds
of thousands, if not millions, of Chinese standing up for freedom,
standing up against oppression, standing up against the oppressive communist bastards,
and the Chinese tyrannical governments sent in tanks mowed them down.
(34:50):
And it is it was an incredible moment of heroism
on the part of the students and the young people
standing up against tyranny, and it was an incredible moment
brutality on the part of the regime stomping them down.
And I got to say, the only word I know
to describe somebody who chooses to get married on the
(35:12):
anniversary of Channemen Square and then Honeymoon's and Communist China,
The only word I know to describe is weird, which
is really funny because well, like the only thing anyone
knows about him is he started running around saying Donald
Trump and Jdvans are weird, and it's like, dude, that
is weird.
