Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we've got a lot to talk about on today's show,
including two pretty big stories. One of them involves the
attacks and the assault on America's brightest and best entrepreneurs,
who now the President and Bernie Sanders are calling oligarchs.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why are they doing this, Well, they're threatening them.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
If they step out of line and work with Trump
too much, there will be hell to pay down the road,
and that could cost you your company and your money.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We're going to talk about that in a second.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Also, confirmation hearings knock on wood are just we are
kicking a and taking names. It is a very good
chance at every single nominee of Donald Trump is going
to get confirmed.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
This is amazing. We're going to walk through it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And also there has been some news that's been broken
in some of these confirmation hearings, including Pam Bondy. If
she becomes the Attorney General, she is now pledged to
go find the missing children the three hundred thousand have
gone missing in this country, that many of them have
been put into child six slavery, and what she had
(01:11):
to say. Senator Ted Cruz is going to join us
to talk about that and also his back and forth
getting that commitment. Now, let me get back to the
first shocking issue, and that is the attack by Bernie
Sanders on the brightest entrepreneurs in the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So, if you wanted to.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Know what Democrats are going to do when it comes
to attacking the Trump administration, we now have part of
that game plan in front of us. There is a
guy that is going to be confirmed. His name is
Scott Mascent. He is going to be confirmed the Secretary
of the Treasury. And the left is losing their mind
(01:53):
over Scott. And the reason why is because he's a
free market capitalist that actually doesn't think that you're an
evil person if you make a lot of money. Bernie
Sanders at the confirmation hearing decided to lead the way
for the Democrats in attacking Scott and saying you're part
(02:13):
of the problem. Now, Bernie Sanders never setting the crap
I'm about to play when the people he's about to attack,
we're on his side, on his team. He was never attacking,
for example, the founder of Facebook. Why because Well Zuck
was spending hundreds of millions of dollars supporting Democratic candidates.
(02:35):
But now that he has realized that he's got to
change his tune because Republicans are in charge. Well, now
Bernie Sanders is angry yet again. This is a back
and forth. It is important for you to understand. This
is what they're going to do for the next four years.
They're going to demony success in America. They're going to
go back to you. You know, you need to pay
(02:56):
your fair share. That's like Bernie sanders mantra. The Socialists
and Marxists and the Communists are always about, well, there's
too many rich people, right, there's too many successful. We
want everybody to be the same. We want everybody to
be equal. We don't want anybody to own anything. We
will unless you're giving us money. Then we're look the
other way. But if you are a wealthy person, you
(03:18):
are now a villain in America all over again. And
we're watching it unfold before our very eyes.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
To be here, mister Bestin, thanks very much for being
in the office the other day, mister bestn't. The United
States today has more income and wealth inequality and as
ever existed in the history of our country. You got
three people on top, uh, mister Bezos and mister Zuckerberg,
(03:49):
who are now worth almost a trillion dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That is more than half.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Of the bottom of our society, some one hundred and
seventy million people.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Let's just stop there.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So the premise of the argument from Bernie Sanders is
no one should be allowed, no one to have this
much money.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So what is the number?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Is the question that I want to know from Bernie
Sanders and from the left. What is the amount of
money that I am allowed to have? And you be happy?
Is it a million dollars? Is it half a million?
Is it two million? Is it five million? What is
the arbitrary amount of money that you're saying is not evil?
Now this also comes down to houses, right, how many
(04:36):
houses am I allowed to own in Bernie Sanders America?
Is it one or is it two? Because Bernie Sanders,
by the way, has multiple houses. And also Bernie Sanders
is worth millions of dollars, which of course he will
never tell you he has made his millions while being
in Congress, which is a whole other conversation that we
should be having. But I am sure that we will
(04:56):
never ever ever have that conversation either. But back to
these evil three that he's trying to demonize, the reason
why he's demonizing the founder of Facebook now is because
that guy's not giving enough money to the Democrats. In
his mind, they've lost the control over him. He's allowed
(05:18):
conservatives to get out of Facebook jail, and he's telling
stories of how the Biden Hairs administration was cussing and
threatening his employees. Now, I want to be clear, I
don't feel sorry for market Facebook, all right, just I
want to be very very clear about that. I also
think you should have exposed him years ago and actually
fought back instead of just protecting his bottom line, because
(05:38):
that's what it really was all about. He didn't feel
comfortable sharing what he has shared now on a podcast
right with Joe Rogan, because I'm sorry, he's a WUS.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He's not actually a leader.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Now, if I was being blackmailed by the Biden Hairs
administration the way that he was, and I had the
most powerful social media tool you could argue in the world,
then I would have used it instantly and not been bullied.
But I don't actually believe that he thinks that he
was being bullied. And the reason why I say that
is because if you were being bullied by the left,
(06:12):
then why would you empower the left with the Zuckbucks
where you're giving hundreds of millions of dollars to get
Democrats elected. If you were quote being bullied by the left,
then why did you before they even got their power
take away the sitting president United States of America's Facebook
account when Donald Trump was the president on January sixth,
(06:33):
in two thousand and twenty one. This was the doing
of Mark and his team at Facebook. And they are
radical leftists. The only thing they've decided now is that, well,
Donald Trump's back and he's really a threat to us now,
so we got to look like we're the victim and
we got to play the game. So in response to that,
you have now Bernie Sanders who comes out He's like, well,
(06:54):
you know, this is this guy over at Facebook. He
is just evil and anybody else Elon Musk is evil?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Why is Elon Musk evil to them? I think it's
also very clear he saw the light, he became a conservative.
He's hanging out with Donald Trump. He is going to
start downsizing the size of government, which is a threat
to their power. They are angry about that as well.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So he's on the list.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now you need somebody else on the list too, And
so that you don't look like you're like total frauds.
And so he's like, and I'll throw another guy on
there that maybe isn't that conservative.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
This is the problem.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
This is the I think the biggest problem that we
are going to face now in the next year is
going to be how much they're going to come after
conservatives and say you're evil because of everything that I
just stated. So let's go back to Bernie and now
(07:49):
listen to his argument and why he's so angry about
these people making money.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Three people more wealth from the bottom one hundred and
seventy million. We have more concentration of ownership today than
we have ever had. We have more concentration of ownership
in the media. We're a handful of billionaires like Musk, Bezos,
Rupid Murdock increasingly own the media and the information that
(08:14):
the American people receive. We have a corrupt campaign finance
system in which a small number of billionaires in both
political parties make huge contributions into the presidential and congressional campaigns.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So, in other words, the system's rigged. Because we couldn't
rig the last election. We couldn't in prison our political opponent,
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We tried.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
We raided his house, we tried to blackmn. We did
everything we could. We tried really really, really really hard,
and it didn't work. And so now what we're going
to do is we're going to say everything is evil
so that we can then regulate to try to then
get a victory maybe in two years the midterm election.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
This is there. Go oh, folks, this is their game plan.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
When you have a small number of multi billionaires who
have enormous economic, media and political power. Would you agree
with President Biden who last night stated and I quote
and oligaukey is taking shape in America of extreme wealth
(09:24):
power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic
rights and freedoms end quote. That's what President Biden said
last night. I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Do you now, let's stopped there before you hear his response.
All right, this is again the nominee for Treasury Secretary,
a conservative that Donald Trump has nominated. You notice what
Bernie Sanders is advocating for now. He's advocating for the
forcing of the selling of any person's assets in this
country that doesn't bow down to the socialist, Marxist or
(09:59):
communists and use their media apparatus to be a state
sponsored media apparatus. They're fine with NBC News or ABC
News or CBS or PBS being state sponsored media and
being huge.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
They're totally fine with that.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They are not fine with the other people that don't
do what they demand each and every day. So take
a listen to the response from the guy who's gonna
be the Treasury secretary. And if you look at his
job as Treasury secretary, what Bernie Sanders is saying is you,
as Treasury secretary, your job should be one hundred percent political,
(10:38):
and you should go after people that have too much money,
and you should attack them for having too much money.
Like he's wanting to weaponize the Treasury Secretary to go
after and to attack the wealthiest people in this country
and to hold people down who make their money in
the private sector or build something great like Tesla for example,
(11:01):
or Amazon. By the way, if you made Amazon, I
don't care about politics just in general. This is like
a blunt statement that I think most sane people would
agree with.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
If you started.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Amazon, something that everybody I know uses like every day,
I think you should be insanely rich because you did
a once in a lifetime maybe once in a century
thing and it worked. It's which is incredible, Like it's
truly unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That's number one. If you do something like Facebook, I think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You should be insanely rich because you created something that's
once in a lifetime or once in a century century,
and I think you should deserve to be insanely wealthy
for that. If you create an electric vehicle that turns
it into mainstream and people buy it, and this is
just like one of the ways made money, but it's
a pretty big one, I.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Would hope that you were insanely wealthy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Just like if you were the Ford family and you
created four cars and trucks in f one fifties like
the Ford Mustang, I think you should be insanely rich.
And I have no problem with you being insanely rich
in that scenario. But what Bernie Sanders is saying is
we only allow you to stay rich if you support us,
(12:22):
and if you don't support us, then we want to
take away your money. That is what communists, socialists.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Marxists do.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That's no different than the Russian oligarchs that we have
in Russia, where if you give money back and you
support Vladimir putin. Then there is a group of oligarchs
that prop him up, and then he allows him to
make ungodly amounts of money that is completely different than
what we have in this country. And the three people
(12:52):
that he just described are for people we just described.
So again the Treasury Secretary nominees like, dude, this isn't
my job, and this is really messed up what you're saying.
He doesn't say it that way. He's obviously going through confirmation.
He's going to say it a little bit differently, But
I want you to listen carefully to his words.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I enjoyed our visit, and I hope you got my
follow up materials that on the discussions, my predicious writings
on the terrorists and China and the three billionaires who
you listed that all made the money themselves. Mister Musk
(13:30):
came to the country as an immigrant.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I understand that. But what I'm asking you is when
you have a handful of people like Musk who will
soon be part of the Trump administration and others, when
you have three people owning more wealth from the bottom
half of American society, when these people have enormous influence
over the media, when they spend huge amounts of money
(13:55):
in both political parties to elect candidates. What Biden said
last liners, we're moving what an oligouchy? I'm asking you
that question. Do you think to get how they made
their money? Do you think that when so few people
have so much wealth and so much economic and political power,
that that is an oligogic form of society?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, I wouldn't note that they. President Biden gave the
Presidential Metal of Freedom to two people who I think
would qualify for his oligarchs.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
So this is not a condemnation of any one individual.
I'm just asking you when so few people have so
much wealth and power, But do you think that that
is an oligockic form of society?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Senator? I think it depends on the ability to move
up and down the end.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
No, that's not really dancer. I mean even if you
had that mobility, no matter who those individuals might be.
All right, But let me ask you another question.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I love that I moved on because he obviously got
smacked around there. Like what you heard there from the
nominee was, hey, Biden, like you know, giving metal freedoms
to oligarchs, Like you want to stop that, Like it's
a really strong point. You maybe want to, like, you know,
(15:16):
not blackmail people. Hey, you want to be successful, We'll
let you, but only if you give us a bunch
of your money so that we can run for election
re election. That is the standard that Bernie Sanders is
saying for you to stay in good favor with the
United States government. And what loses you is if you
actually think for yourself and you're not an oligarch. You
(15:36):
go back to the threat that Joe Biden made, and
the threat that Joe Biden made was one that was
I think clear. He's saying, we've lost power, and those
that are still around in power, you need to do
what you need to do now to go after the
wealthy people out there that are no longer under our
(15:59):
thumb like this is insane. In his farewell address to
the country, he is warning his radical supporters that are
in the government that you better do your best now
to attack people. You better go out there and and
(16:19):
really hammer these people that are now a threat to
our power, not to America, but to our power.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Whether it's a threat of climate change.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He says, it has never been clear, and you better go
after anybody in the own gas industry it's like it's
a hit list. That's that's what this is. It's a
hit list. And Sener Tim Kaine, if you don't think
this is who he was talking to. The ones that
are still in power, listen to what Tim Kaine said
on See It End, because he heard the he heard
the call, he heard the trumpet that is like, we
(16:52):
still have to go to war with conservatives and try
to shut them down.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
And Senator, forgive me, I'm covering a lot of ground.
But President Biden did address the nation last night from
the Oval Office. He talked about his fear that an
oligarchy is taking over this country, that there's a tech
industrial complex that has too much influence in this country.
He offered some pretty stark warnings for the nation. As
(17:18):
Donald Trump is about to return to the White House,
what did you make of that?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You know, the comments really echoed in my mind. It
reminded me of something, and it reminded me of what
President Eisenhower said.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
As he was leaving office.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
This general who led us to victory in World War two,
warned America that a military industrial complex could have too
much impact on American politics and push us into needless
military expenditures and even hostilities that we shouldn't be in.
Those were very precient words then, and I don't know
if President Biden was sort of consciously echoing those or not.
(17:55):
I know he is sincerely worried about it, and I think.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
A lot of Americans are.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
You think there's an oligarchy that's taking over in this country.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
You know that I am worried about the power of
these of the tech bros, who you know, have a
lot of time on their hands because they have so
many billions, and they want to get involved in politics,
and they usually want to get involved in politics to
feather their own nest.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Ooh, the tech bros.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You hear the marketing here, It's pretty good marketing, right,
Let's label them the tech bros. Who's he talking about.
He's talking about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. He's talking
about those two. And what he's saying to Democrats is
and also to them, is you guys better not go.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Too far to freedom of speech and to.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
True freedom on your networks, because if you do, we
will come after you. We will weaponize our government to
come against you. By the way, this is what Zuckerberg
said in his interview. He said, dude, like, they told
us that we need to start silencing and censoring people,
and then when we didn't respond the way they wanted to,
(19:08):
they then had the entire US government come after us.
So then he says, like, then, I'm basically a little
wis and I just gave in and did whatever they
told me to do. I silenced anybody they wanted me to silence.
I shut down anything they wanted me to shut down.
I did whatever they told I was there, bitch, like,
that's what I was, And now I'm going to tell
you that that's what I was. But you should understand why,
because I'm just a billionaire that didn't want everything to
(19:30):
go away instead of actually fighting back. And what they're
saying now is, oh, so now the Conservatives are in charge,
you're going to tell this side of the story. Well,
guess what, you better shut up and get back in line,
because one day we're going to be back in charge.
And when we're in charge, we're going to use a
Treasury secretary to come after you. We're going to use
the FBI to come after you, We're going to use
(19:50):
the DJ to come after you. We're going to do
to you what we did to Donald Trump. That is
the warning out of this Treasury Secretary moment here, and
I think everybody that hears this should be really really
concerned over what you just heard, because they're telling you
(20:10):
if you give them power again, they are going to
lock up their political enemies, and it's not going to
be at the top, it's going to be anybody with
money in the middle.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That's the warning, and it's a threat.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And I actually believe them when they say this is
their threat, Like I actually believe that they are not
lying to you and I when they make this threat.
They're not lying to these individuals they named outright with
this threat. And I think Bezos will probably get back
in line. I think Zuckerberg is probably going to play it.
Whoever's in power, he's going to play to them. I
(20:45):
think Elon can't be bought, and I think Murdoch says, hey,
I'm old enough, screw you. I'm still going to do
Fox News Channel. But they're sending a very clear precedent
and signal for the future. You don't do what we
want you to do even when we're not in power,
know what we're going to do to you when we
are in power, and it's going to.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Get nasty, all right now, I want to move too.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And this was really interesting to see the debate in
the Senate and then the conversations that were happening with
Republicans and actually trying to move forward and not just
the Democrats are trying to destroy people.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The Republicans actually had.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
A mission here and it was to get commitments from
many of these nominees of what they are going to
do and what their priority is are going to be.
One of those priorities is finding the children that are missing.
And Senator Cruse and I we do our podcast that
we do together called Vertical with Ted Cruz, and every
once in a while we have something like this. I
play part of it here because it's important. I want
(21:43):
you to hear it, and I want you to hear
what Senator Cruz had to say about this back and forth,
the pan bondy and this really important commitment that we're
going to go find these children that have gone missing
because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
But there's a different aspect of politicization, and that is
refusing to follow the law for the overarching political agenda.
In this case, the radical open borders agenda. So listen
to this short round of questioning that I had with
Pambondi later in the day. An excellent job at this hearing.
And I want to go back to the topic you
(22:17):
and I discussed before, which is the politicization of the
Department of Justice. I want to focus on a different
aspect of it. We talked about the Department of Justice
under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris being used to target
the president's political enemies. We talked about it being used
to protect the political friends and allies of the White House.
But there's another aspect of politicization and lawlessness, and that
(22:39):
is refusing to follow the law, utterly defying federal statutory law.
And I think there's no area where this has been
more egregious than as it concerns our immigration laws. We
have had four years of a wide open southern border.
My state Texas is born as abortionate burden. As a
(23:01):
consequence of that, as twelve million illegal aliens have flooded
into this country. And what the Biden administration has done
no other president in the history of America has done.
The Biden administration has simply ignored the law and when
illegal aliens are apprehended, they released them. Federal law says
they shall be detained, says they shall be deported. And frankly,
(23:22):
our constitutional system is not meant meant to deal with
a president who defies the law. Article two says the
president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
This administration utterly defied the law. I have said, somewhat
tongue in cheek, Joe Biden did something I previously thought
was impossible. He made me miss Barack Obama. Because Barack Obama,
(23:46):
for all my disagreements with him, when it came to
illegal immigration, he by and large followed the law. Barack
Obama deported millions of people. The left got mad at
him and called him the deporter in chief. No administration
has ever done with This administration has done. Just said,
we are going to facilitate the invasion of this country.
We're going to release twelve million people, and we are
going to see Americans murdered, women raped, children, abused and murdered.
(24:11):
We're going to see drugs flood into this country, fentanyl
flood into this country. And so I want to ask
you several things on this. First of all, in your experience.
What are the consequences of open borders and who pays
the price when when illegal immigrants, and in particular, violent
criminal illegal immigrants are released in the.
Speaker 8 (24:33):
Country American citizens, Senator, and I think they're paying. I
know they're paying the price every single day. We're seeing it,
we're watching it. We've talked about Lake and Riley, of
course multiple times. But there are multiple victims violent crime
in all of our states. And as we say now,
every state is a border state. I was at the
(24:55):
border at not in your state, but in Yuma, Arizona,
several months ago, and I saw firsthand. I saw the
border patrol agents and customs showed US IDs and driver's
license venezuela from all of these countries. IDs just thrown
on the ground, and people were allowed to walk freely
(25:17):
into our country. Senator, I never knew the definition of
a disposable child. I never heard that term in my
entire career until I was there. A disposable child that
the agents kept recognizing, A little boy coming over and over.
You're familiar with it, I'm sure, same little boy. And
let me ask, and he had been trafficked. Let me ask,
(25:37):
because my time has expired. And the issue you're raising
is so incredibly important. One statistic that every American should
know is the number three hundred thousand.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
There are over three hundred thousand children that this administration
has lost. Little girls and little boys who came here
on accompanied were in this administration's custody. They handed them
over to adults, many of them not blood relatives, and
they don't know where they are. I've never seen a
single Democrat in this committee ask one question about the
three hundred thousand children. I want to ask you a commitment.
Will you, as Attorney General investigate and make every effort
(26:10):
to find those children and if they are subject to abuse,
get them out of those abusive situations that the federal
government has put them into.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Yes, Senator, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Senator.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
This goes back to I think one of the things
we talked about and highlighted on this show, and that
was just the abuse of power by majorchis and not
even knowing about, for example, the wristbands which you've described
on this show that were found at the border, and
so many people that are trafficked had to wear those,
including kids.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You look at how we've lost all these.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Kids and hearing her commit to actually using the DOJ
for this reason, which would be a non political reason,
saving kids from sex slavery for goodness sakes.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That was encouraging to hear.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
It was very encouraging. That commitment was very important. Look,
you and I and our last podcast two days ago,
we talked about the horrific scandal in the United Kingdom
of thousands of girls subject to repeated child rape for decades,
and how the government turned its back on them, refused
(27:16):
to prosecute, refused to investigate, all in the name of multiculturalism.
By the way, if you did not listen to Wednesday's podcast,
you ought to listen to it, because it really is
that there are among the stories that really bothered me,
that horrify me, that's really at the top of the list.
But you and I talked about on Wednesday how it's
easy to say as Americans, well, gosh, it's a shame
(27:37):
the Brits did that, But we're somehow better than that.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
No, we're not.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Three hundred thousand kids in America have been lost, and
the Biden administration doesn't care, Democrats in Congress don't care,
the media doesn't care. I am very very glad this
week that Pam BONDI committed to me on the record
that as Attorney General, she's going to investigate. I hope
she's going to create a task force in the Department
of Justice to go and find those three hundred thousand kids,
(28:05):
to go figure out are these children being abused or are
they being physically abused or being sexually abused? What happened
that it's not okay for the federal government to lose
three hundred thousand little boys and little girls. This week,
I sat down with Bobby Kennedy, and when I sat
down with him, I asked him the same question. He's
going to be the next Secretary of AJHS, Will AHHS
(28:28):
investigate and fought those children and make sure they're not
being abused? And I'll tell you he committed to me
in my office the same thing. That's a big deal,
and it's one of the many things that makes me
very excited about this new cabinet coming.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Make sure you share a podcast wherever you can on
social media.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
We do this show every day on social media, so
make sure again grab it, download it, and if you
get to see our videos on social media, please share
them because as you know that the big tech suppresses
every thing we do here, And I'll see you back
here tomorrow.
Well, we've got a lot to talk about on today's show,
including two pretty big stories. One of them involves the
attacks and the assault on America's brightest and best entrepreneurs,
who now the President and Bernie Sanders are calling oligarchs.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Why are they doing this, Well, they're threatening them.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
If they step out of line and work with Trump
too much, there will be hell to pay down the road,
and that could cost you your company and your money.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We're going to talk about that in a second.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Also, confirmation hearings knock on wood are just we are
kicking a and taking names. It is a very good
chance at every single nominee of Donald Trump is going
to get confirmed.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
This is amazing. We're going to walk through it.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
And also there has been some news that's been broken
in some of these confirmation hearings, including Pam Bondy. If
she becomes the Attorney General, she is now pledged to
go find the missing children the three hundred thousand have
gone missing in this country, that many of them have
been put into child six slavery, and what she had
(01:11):
to say. Senator Ted Cruz is going to join us
to talk about that and also his back and forth
getting that commitment. Now, let me get back to the
first shocking issue, and that is the attack by Bernie
Sanders on the brightest entrepreneurs in the United States of America.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So, if you wanted to.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Know what Democrats are going to do when it comes
to attacking the Trump administration, we now have part of
that game plan in front of us. There is a
guy that is going to be confirmed. His name is
Scott Mascent. He is going to be confirmed the Secretary
of the Treasury. And the left is losing their mind
(01:53):
over Scott. And the reason why is because he's a
free market capitalist that actually doesn't think that you're an
evil person if you make a lot of money. Bernie
Sanders at the confirmation hearing decided to lead the way
for the Democrats in attacking Scott and saying you're part
(02:13):
of the problem. Now, Bernie Sanders never setting the crap
I'm about to play when the people he's about to attack,
we're on his side, on his team. He was never attacking,
for example, the founder of Facebook. Why because Well Zuck
was spending hundreds of millions of dollars supporting Democratic candidates.
(02:35):
But now that he has realized that he's got to
change his tune because Republicans are in charge. Well, now
Bernie Sanders is angry yet again. This is a back
and forth. It is important for you to understand. This
is what they're going to do for the next four years.
They're going to demony success in America. They're going to
go back to you. You know, you need to pay
(02:56):
your fair share. That's like Bernie sanders mantra. The Socialists
and Marxists and the Communists are always about, well, there's
too many rich people, right, there's too many successful. We
want everybody to be the same. We want everybody to
be equal. We don't want anybody to own anything. We
will unless you're giving us money. Then we're look the
other way. But if you are a wealthy person, you
(03:18):
are now a villain in America all over again. And
we're watching it unfold before our very eyes.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
To be here, mister Bestin, thanks very much for being
in the office the other day, mister bestn't. The United
States today has more income and wealth inequality and as
ever existed in the history of our country. You got
three people on top, uh, mister Bezos and mister Zuckerberg,
(03:49):
who are now worth almost a trillion dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
That is more than half.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
Of the bottom of our society, some one hundred and
seventy million people.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Let's just stop there.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
So the premise of the argument from Bernie Sanders is
no one should be allowed, no one to have this
much money.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
So what is the number?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Is the question that I want to know from Bernie
Sanders and from the left. What is the amount of
money that I am allowed to have? And you be happy?
Is it a million dollars? Is it half a million?
Is it two million? Is it five million? What is
the arbitrary amount of money that you're saying is not evil?
Now this also comes down to houses, right, how many
(04:36):
houses am I allowed to own in Bernie Sanders America?
Is it one or is it two? Because Bernie Sanders,
by the way, has multiple houses. And also Bernie Sanders
is worth millions of dollars, which of course he will
never tell you he has made his millions while being
in Congress, which is a whole other conversation that we
should be having. But I am sure that we will
(04:56):
never ever ever have that conversation either. But back to
these evil three that he's trying to demonize, the reason
why he's demonizing the founder of Facebook now is because
that guy's not giving enough money to the Democrats. In
his mind, they've lost the control over him. He's allowed
(05:18):
conservatives to get out of Facebook jail, and he's telling
stories of how the Biden Hairs administration was cussing and
threatening his employees. Now, I want to be clear, I
don't feel sorry for market Facebook, all right, just I
want to be very very clear about that. I also
think you should have exposed him years ago and actually
fought back instead of just protecting his bottom line, because
(05:38):
that's what it really was all about. He didn't feel
comfortable sharing what he has shared now on a podcast
right with Joe Rogan, because I'm sorry, he's a WUS.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
He's not actually a leader.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Now, if I was being blackmailed by the Biden Hairs
administration the way that he was, and I had the
most powerful social media tool you could argue in the world,
then I would have used it instantly and not been bullied.
But I don't actually believe that he thinks that he
was being bullied. And the reason why I say that
is because if you were being bullied by the left,
(06:12):
then why would you empower the left with the Zuckbucks
where you're giving hundreds of millions of dollars to get
Democrats elected. If you were quote being bullied by the left,
then why did you before they even got their power
take away the sitting president United States of America's Facebook
account when Donald Trump was the president on January sixth,
(06:33):
in two thousand and twenty one. This was the doing
of Mark and his team at Facebook. And they are
radical leftists. The only thing they've decided now is that, well,
Donald Trump's back and he's really a threat to us now,
so we got to look like we're the victim and
we got to play the game. So in response to that,
you have now Bernie Sanders who comes out He's like, well,
(06:54):
you know, this is this guy over at Facebook. He
is just evil and anybody else Elon Musk is evil?
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Right now?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Why is Elon Musk evil to them? I think it's
also very clear he saw the light, he became a conservative.
He's hanging out with Donald Trump. He is going to
start downsizing the size of government, which is a threat
to their power. They are angry about that as well.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So he's on the list.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
Now you need somebody else on the list too, And
so that you don't look like you're like total frauds.
And so he's like, and I'll throw another guy on
there that maybe isn't that conservative.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
This is the problem.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
This is the I think the biggest problem that we
are going to face now in the next year is
going to be how much they're going to come after
conservatives and say you're evil because of everything that I
just stated. So let's go back to Bernie and now
(07:49):
listen to his argument and why he's so angry about
these people making money.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Three people more wealth from the bottom one hundred and
seventy million. We have more concentration of ownership today than
we have ever had. We have more concentration of ownership
in the media. We're a handful of billionaires like Musk, Bezos,
Rupid Murdock increasingly own the media and the information that
(08:14):
the American people receive. We have a corrupt campaign finance
system in which a small number of billionaires in both
political parties make huge contributions into the presidential and congressional campaigns.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
So, in other words, the system's rigged. Because we couldn't
rig the last election. We couldn't in prison our political opponent,
Donald Trump.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
We tried.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
We raided his house, we tried to blackmn. We did
everything we could. We tried really really, really really hard,
and it didn't work. And so now what we're going
to do is we're going to say everything is evil
so that we can then regulate to try to then
get a victory maybe in two years the midterm election.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
This is there. Go oh, folks, this is their game plan.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
When you have a small number of multi billionaires who
have enormous economic, media and political power. Would you agree
with President Biden who last night stated and I quote
and oligaukey is taking shape in America of extreme wealth
(09:24):
power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic
rights and freedoms end quote. That's what President Biden said
last night. I agree with him.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Do you now, let's stopped there before you hear his response.
All right, this is again the nominee for Treasury Secretary,
a conservative that Donald Trump has nominated. You notice what
Bernie Sanders is advocating for now. He's advocating for the
forcing of the selling of any person's assets in this
country that doesn't bow down to the socialist, Marxist or
(09:59):
communists and use their media apparatus to be a state
sponsored media apparatus. They're fine with NBC News or ABC
News or CBS or PBS being state sponsored media and
being huge.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
They're totally fine with that.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
They are not fine with the other people that don't
do what they demand each and every day. So take
a listen to the response from the guy who's gonna
be the Treasury secretary. And if you look at his
job as Treasury secretary, what Bernie Sanders is saying is you,
as Treasury secretary, your job should be one hundred percent political,
(10:38):
and you should go after people that have too much money,
and you should attack them for having too much money.
Like he's wanting to weaponize the Treasury Secretary to go
after and to attack the wealthiest people in this country
and to hold people down who make their money in
the private sector or build something great like Tesla for example,
(11:01):
or Amazon. By the way, if you made Amazon, I
don't care about politics just in general. This is like
a blunt statement that I think most sane people would
agree with.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
If you started.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Amazon, something that everybody I know uses like every day,
I think you should be insanely rich because you did
a once in a lifetime maybe once in a century
thing and it worked. It's which is incredible, Like it's
truly unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
That's number one. If you do something like Facebook, I think.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You should be insanely rich because you created something that's
once in a lifetime or once in a century century,
and I think you should deserve to be insanely wealthy
for that. If you create an electric vehicle that turns
it into mainstream and people buy it, and this is
just like one of the ways made money, but it's
a pretty big one, I.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Would hope that you were insanely wealthy.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Just like if you were the Ford family and you
created four cars and trucks in f one fifties like
the Ford Mustang, I think you should be insanely rich.
And I have no problem with you being insanely rich
in that scenario. But what Bernie Sanders is saying is
we only allow you to stay rich if you support us,
(12:22):
and if you don't support us, then we want to
take away your money. That is what communists, socialists.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Marxists do.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
That's no different than the Russian oligarchs that we have
in Russia, where if you give money back and you
support Vladimir putin. Then there is a group of oligarchs
that prop him up, and then he allows him to
make ungodly amounts of money that is completely different than
what we have in this country. And the three people
(12:52):
that he just described are for people we just described.
So again the Treasury Secretary nominees like, dude, this isn't
my job, and this is really messed up what you're saying.
He doesn't say it that way. He's obviously going through confirmation.
He's going to say it a little bit differently, But
I want you to listen carefully to his words.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
I enjoyed our visit, and I hope you got my
follow up materials that on the discussions, my predicious writings
on the terrorists and China and the three billionaires who
you listed that all made the money themselves. Mister Musk
(13:30):
came to the country as an immigrant.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I understand that. But what I'm asking you is when
you have a handful of people like Musk who will
soon be part of the Trump administration and others, when
you have three people owning more wealth from the bottom
half of American society, when these people have enormous influence
over the media, when they spend huge amounts of money
(13:55):
in both political parties to elect candidates. What Biden said
last liners, we're moving what an oligouchy? I'm asking you
that question. Do you think to get how they made
their money? Do you think that when so few people
have so much wealth and so much economic and political power,
that that is an oligogic form of society?
Speaker 4 (14:13):
Well, I wouldn't note that they. President Biden gave the
Presidential Metal of Freedom to two people who I think
would qualify for his oligarchs.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
So this is not a condemnation of any one individual.
I'm just asking you when so few people have so
much wealth and power, But do you think that that
is an oligockic form of society?
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Senator? I think it depends on the ability to move
up and down the end.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
No, that's not really dancer. I mean even if you
had that mobility, no matter who those individuals might be.
All right, But let me ask you another question.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
I love that I moved on because he obviously got
smacked around there. Like what you heard there from the
nominee was, hey, Biden, like you know, giving metal freedoms
to oligarchs, Like you want to stop that, Like it's
a really strong point. You maybe want to, like, you know,
(15:16):
not blackmail people. Hey, you want to be successful, We'll
let you, but only if you give us a bunch
of your money so that we can run for election
re election. That is the standard that Bernie Sanders is
saying for you to stay in good favor with the
United States government. And what loses you is if you
actually think for yourself and you're not an oligarch. You
(15:36):
go back to the threat that Joe Biden made, and
the threat that Joe Biden made was one that was
I think clear. He's saying, we've lost power, and those
that are still around in power, you need to do
what you need to do now to go after the
wealthy people out there that are no longer under our
(15:59):
thumb like this is insane. In his farewell address to
the country, he is warning his radical supporters that are
in the government that you better do your best now
to attack people. You better go out there and and
(16:19):
really hammer these people that are now a threat to
our power, not to America, but to our power.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Whether it's a threat of climate change.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
He says, it has never been clear, and you better go
after anybody in the own gas industry it's like it's
a hit list. That's that's what this is. It's a
hit list. And Sener Tim Kaine, if you don't think
this is who he was talking to. The ones that
are still in power, listen to what Tim Kaine said
on See It End, because he heard the he heard
the call, he heard the trumpet that is like, we
(16:52):
still have to go to war with conservatives and try
to shut them down.
Speaker 5 (16:57):
And Senator, forgive me, I'm covering a lot of ground.
But President Biden did address the nation last night from
the Oval Office. He talked about his fear that an
oligarchy is taking over this country, that there's a tech
industrial complex that has too much influence in this country.
He offered some pretty stark warnings for the nation. As
(17:18):
Donald Trump is about to return to the White House,
what did you make of that?
Speaker 6 (17:21):
You know, the comments really echoed in my mind. It
reminded me of something, and it reminded me of what
President Eisenhower said.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
As he was leaving office.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
This general who led us to victory in World War two,
warned America that a military industrial complex could have too
much impact on American politics and push us into needless
military expenditures and even hostilities that we shouldn't be in.
Those were very precient words then, and I don't know
if President Biden was sort of consciously echoing those or not.
(17:55):
I know he is sincerely worried about it, and I think.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
A lot of Americans are.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
You think there's an oligarchy that's taking over in this country.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
You know that I am worried about the power of
these of the tech bros, who you know, have a
lot of time on their hands because they have so
many billions, and they want to get involved in politics,
and they usually want to get involved in politics to
feather their own nest.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Ooh, the tech bros.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
You hear the marketing here, It's pretty good marketing, right,
Let's label them the tech bros. Who's he talking about.
He's talking about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. He's talking
about those two. And what he's saying to Democrats is
and also to them, is you guys better not go.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Too far to freedom of speech and to.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
True freedom on your networks, because if you do, we
will come after you. We will weaponize our government to
come against you. By the way, this is what Zuckerberg
said in his interview. He said, dude, like, they told
us that we need to start silencing and censoring people,
and then when we didn't respond the way they wanted to,
(19:08):
they then had the entire US government come after us.
So then he says, like, then, I'm basically a little
wis and I just gave in and did whatever they
told me to do. I silenced anybody they wanted me to silence.
I shut down anything they wanted me to shut down.
I did whatever they told I was there, bitch, like,
that's what I was, And now I'm going to tell
you that that's what I was. But you should understand why,
because I'm just a billionaire that didn't want everything to
(19:30):
go away instead of actually fighting back. And what they're
saying now is, oh, so now the Conservatives are in charge,
you're going to tell this side of the story. Well,
guess what, you better shut up and get back in line,
because one day we're going to be back in charge.
And when we're in charge, we're going to use a
Treasury secretary to come after you. We're going to use
the FBI to come after you, We're going to use
(19:50):
the DJ to come after you. We're going to do
to you what we did to Donald Trump. That is
the warning out of this Treasury Secretary moment here, and
I think everybody that hears this should be really really
concerned over what you just heard, because they're telling you
(20:10):
if you give them power again, they are going to
lock up their political enemies, and it's not going to
be at the top, it's going to be anybody with
money in the middle.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That's the warning, and it's a threat.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And I actually believe them when they say this is
their threat, Like I actually believe that they are not
lying to you and I when they make this threat.
They're not lying to these individuals they named outright with
this threat. And I think Bezos will probably get back
in line. I think Zuckerberg is probably going to play it.
Whoever's in power, he's going to play to them. I
(20:45):
think Elon can't be bought, and I think Murdoch says, hey,
I'm old enough, screw you. I'm still going to do
Fox News Channel. But they're sending a very clear precedent
and signal for the future. You don't do what we
want you to do even when we're not in power,
know what we're going to do to you when we
are in power, and it's going to.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Get nasty, all right now, I want to move too.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And this was really interesting to see the debate in
the Senate and then the conversations that were happening with
Republicans and actually trying to move forward and not just
the Democrats are trying to destroy people.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
The Republicans actually had.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
A mission here and it was to get commitments from
many of these nominees of what they are going to
do and what their priority is are going to be.
One of those priorities is finding the children that are missing.
And Senator Cruse and I we do our podcast that
we do together called Vertical with Ted Cruz, and every
once in a while we have something like this. I
play part of it here because it's important. I want
(21:43):
you to hear it, and I want you to hear
what Senator Cruz had to say about this back and forth,
the pan bondy and this really important commitment that we're
going to go find these children that have gone missing
because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
But there's a different aspect of politicization, and that is
refusing to follow the law for the overarching political agenda.
In this case, the radical open borders agenda. So listen
to this short round of questioning that I had with
Pambondi later in the day. An excellent job at this hearing.
And I want to go back to the topic you
(22:17):
and I discussed before, which is the politicization of the
Department of Justice. I want to focus on a different
aspect of it. We talked about the Department of Justice
under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris being used to target
the president's political enemies. We talked about it being used
to protect the political friends and allies of the White House.
But there's another aspect of politicization and lawlessness, and that
(22:39):
is refusing to follow the law, utterly defying federal statutory law.
And I think there's no area where this has been
more egregious than as it concerns our immigration laws. We
have had four years of a wide open southern border.
My state Texas is born as abortionate burden. As a
(23:01):
consequence of that, as twelve million illegal aliens have flooded
into this country. And what the Biden administration has done
no other president in the history of America has done.
The Biden administration has simply ignored the law and when
illegal aliens are apprehended, they released them. Federal law says
they shall be detained, says they shall be deported. And frankly,
(23:22):
our constitutional system is not meant meant to deal with
a president who defies the law. Article two says the
president shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed.
This administration utterly defied the law. I have said, somewhat
tongue in cheek, Joe Biden did something I previously thought
was impossible. He made me miss Barack Obama. Because Barack Obama,
(23:46):
for all my disagreements with him, when it came to
illegal immigration, he by and large followed the law. Barack
Obama deported millions of people. The left got mad at
him and called him the deporter in chief. No administration
has ever done with This administration has done. Just said,
we are going to facilitate the invasion of this country.
We're going to release twelve million people, and we are
going to see Americans murdered, women raped, children, abused and murdered.
(24:11):
We're going to see drugs flood into this country, fentanyl
flood into this country. And so I want to ask
you several things on this. First of all, in your experience.
What are the consequences of open borders and who pays
the price when when illegal immigrants, and in particular, violent
criminal illegal immigrants are released in the.
Speaker 8 (24:33):
Country American citizens, Senator, and I think they're paying. I
know they're paying the price every single day. We're seeing it,
we're watching it. We've talked about Lake and Riley, of
course multiple times. But there are multiple victims violent crime
in all of our states. And as we say now,
every state is a border state. I was at the
(24:55):
border at not in your state, but in Yuma, Arizona,
several months ago, and I saw firsthand. I saw the
border patrol agents and customs showed US IDs and driver's
license venezuela from all of these countries. IDs just thrown
on the ground, and people were allowed to walk freely
(25:17):
into our country. Senator, I never knew the definition of
a disposable child. I never heard that term in my
entire career until I was there. A disposable child that
the agents kept recognizing, A little boy coming over and over.
You're familiar with it, I'm sure, same little boy. And
let me ask, and he had been trafficked. Let me ask,
(25:37):
because my time has expired. And the issue you're raising
is so incredibly important. One statistic that every American should
know is the number three hundred thousand.
Speaker 7 (25:46):
There are over three hundred thousand children that this administration
has lost. Little girls and little boys who came here
on accompanied were in this administration's custody. They handed them
over to adults, many of them not blood relatives, and
they don't know where they are. I've never seen a
single Democrat in this committee ask one question about the
three hundred thousand children. I want to ask you a commitment.
Will you, as Attorney General investigate and make every effort
(26:10):
to find those children and if they are subject to abuse,
get them out of those abusive situations that the federal
government has put them into.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Yes, Senator, Thank you.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Senator.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
This goes back to I think one of the things
we talked about and highlighted on this show, and that
was just the abuse of power by majorchis and not
even knowing about, for example, the wristbands which you've described
on this show that were found at the border, and
so many people that are trafficked had to wear those,
including kids.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
You look at how we've lost all these.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Kids and hearing her commit to actually using the DOJ
for this reason, which would be a non political reason,
saving kids from sex slavery for goodness sakes.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
That was encouraging to hear.
Speaker 7 (26:55):
It was very encouraging. That commitment was very important. Look,
you and I and our last podcast two days ago,
we talked about the horrific scandal in the United Kingdom
of thousands of girls subject to repeated child rape for decades,
and how the government turned its back on them, refused
(27:16):
to prosecute, refused to investigate, all in the name of multiculturalism.
By the way, if you did not listen to Wednesday's podcast,
you ought to listen to it, because it really is
that there are among the stories that really bothered me,
that horrify me, that's really at the top of the list.
But you and I talked about on Wednesday how it's
easy to say as Americans, well, gosh, it's a shame
(27:37):
the Brits did that, But we're somehow better than that.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
No, we're not.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Three hundred thousand kids in America have been lost, and
the Biden administration doesn't care, Democrats in Congress don't care,
the media doesn't care. I am very very glad this
week that Pam BONDI committed to me on the record
that as Attorney General, she's going to investigate. I hope
she's going to create a task force in the Department
of Justice to go and find those three hundred thousand kids,
(28:05):
to go figure out are these children being abused or are
they being physically abused or being sexually abused? What happened
that it's not okay for the federal government to lose
three hundred thousand little boys and little girls. This week,
I sat down with Bobby Kennedy, and when I sat
down with him, I asked him the same question. He's
going to be the next Secretary of AJHS, Will AHHS
(28:28):
investigate and fought those children and make sure they're not
being abused? And I'll tell you he committed to me
in my office the same thing. That's a big deal,
and it's one of the many things that makes me
very excited about this new cabinet coming.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
Make sure you share a podcast wherever you can on
social media.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
We do this show every day on social media, so
make sure again grab it, download it, and if you
get to see our videos on social media, please share
them because as you know that the big tech suppresses
every thing we do here, And I'll see you back
here tomorrow.
