Kamala's October Surprise: Trump is Hitler! plus a Word Salad Mess on a CNN Interview

Welcome.

It is a verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you. I can't believe I'm getting to say this. We are less than two weeks away from election day and Senator Kamala Harris decided to close the deal with a word solid disaster.

Of a town hall on CNN. It did not go well well.

Her basement strategy has not been working. She tried hiding in Joe Biden's basement and just avoiding everything, and it turned out that the voters actually wanted to hear something from someone who wants to be president of the United States. So then she had a radical strategy. Okay, let's do some interviews. And I got to say every interview she does seems to be worse than the last one. This CNN one is truly a train wreck. We're going to

Yeah, I couldn't agree with you more on that one.

I want to tell you real fast about our friends over Patriot Mobile. If you are a conservative, then you care about your money and where it goes, then you need to make the switch to Patriot Mobile because Big Mobile is spending your money to support democratic causes candidates in organizations, including organizations that pay for abortions. That's exactly why I made the switch several years ago to Patriot Mobile.

They've been in business for over a decade.

And what's amazing is when you pay your bill every month to Patriot Mobile, you're actually supporting what you believe in because they take about five percent of your bill at no extra cost to you, and they give it back to conservative organizations to fight for our First and our Second Amendment rights. They spend a lot of money supporting the rights of unborn children and helping mothers in

I want to give you a free month of service.

And they also have a coverage guarantee because now in twenty twenty four, they all use the same towers and the same network, so if you're worried about coverage, you don't need to be worried about coverage at all. Check out Patriot Mobile. They're online at Patriot mobile dot com, slash verdict, or you can call them and you can switch literally over the phone nine seven to two Patriot.

Before we get to.

The CNN town hall, there was a very purposeful moment that was created by the Harris campaign, and I think we need to deal with it, and I want to

It is clear from John Kelly's words that Donald Trump is someone who I quote certainly falls into the general definition of fascists, who in fact vowed to be a dictator on day one and vow to use the military as his personal militia to carry out his personal and political vendettas Donald Trump is increasingly unhinged and unstable, and in a second term, people like John Kelly would not be there to be the guardrails against his propensities and

These words are shocking.

She is saying Donald Trump is going to be Adolf Hitler, and I worry that she's trying to get the man killed by inspiring a crazy person who will hear these words and say, well, I must stop him. I cannot believe we're even having this conversation center. It makes me angry that this is the Democratic candidate who's I believe, putting his life in more danger.

Well, I think Kamala Harris is feeling desperate. I think her campaign is feeling desperate. I think they see the election slipping away from them. I think they see the momentum is going with Trump every day. I think everything they try to change the momentum is failing. And so, you know, it really is fairly remarkable when they say, Okay, here's our great strategy. Let's call an emergency press conference

Bush hitler.

In fact, you would have signs Bush hitler you were in the Bush White House. That was their talking point. And by the way, if you go back, Democrats also called Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon hitler. I mean this is that they sort of have one. You know, when they're really worried, they just say you're hitler. And by the way, you know hitler was one of, if not the most evil human being to have ever lived in all time. He exterminated millions of peace people, He carried

Zero?

That would be zero. The Democrats have done it four times, shattering all precedent in American history. You know, you look at you look at weaponization, and we talk about weaponization a lot. Using the Department of Justice to go after your enemies, to persecute your enemies, that's something Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, they do over and over and over again. Donald Trump didn't do that. You didn't see So we've seen swat teams bursting into the homes of pro life

It worries me too, because it's like, you guys know, in the same party, you heard it last week when Barack Obama's like, well, civility is gone and we need stability back, and it's somehow the Republicans fault and then immediately they're like, oh, in side, note, this guy should be in jail. He can't be trusted and he could

From what I was watching, Well, look, to be fair, you're you're a right wing partisan. So surely no one who agrees with Kamala could have thought that. Oh wait, wait, anyone watching that thought that if you're not inclined to trust Ben Ferguson, And by the way, if you're a regular listener to the podcast, I'd be surprised if you're not inclined to trust Ben Ferguson. But for sake of argument, let's say you're not. How about David Axelrod, What did David Axelrod think of Kamala's performance?

Take a listen to this.

I thus it would concern me is when she doesn't want to answer a question, her habit is to kind of go to a world word salad city. And she did that on a couple of answers. One was on Israel, Anderson asked the direct question, would you be stronger in his then Trump? And there was a seven minute answer, but none of it related to the question he was asking.

And that's a mistake.

Sometimes you have to concede things, and she didn't conceive much. But I'll tell you something John King mentioned Bill Clinton. No one's going to be Bill Clinton, but you do want to relate to the people in front of you.

She didn't do a lot of that.

She didn't ask them questions, she didn't address them particularly, so she was giving set pieces too much.

I mean he said a word salad. I mean she's a master.

She's gone pro it's saying nothing in response to wrote questions.

Yeah, well look at it. An Exelrod is actually accurate as to why she's doing it because she has memorized set pieces that she says, and whatever question you ask, she just says the words that that she's memorized. And and there was another component that he said that is right,

Give a listen.

Before I play that for you, I want to tell you about our friends over at IFCJ and October the seventh was the one year mark of the worst massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Twelve hundred Israelis were murdered and more than two hundred and fifty were taken hostage. Yet the war in Israel rages on today. A ran firing that massa barrage of nearly two hundred ballistic missiles earlier this month, and Israel and her people

What are your weaknesses? Take a listen.

Weaknesses do you bring to the table and how do you plan to overcome them?

While you're in office.

That's a great question, Joe.

Well, I am certainly not perfect, so let's start there.

And I think that.

I perhaps a weakness, some would say, but I actually think it's the strength as I really do value having a team of very smart people around me who bring to my decision making process different perspectives. My team will tell you I am constantly saying let's kick the.

Tire on, that, let's kick the tires on it.

Is there something you can point to in your life, political life, or in your life in the last four years that you think is a mistake that you have learned from.

I mean I've made many mistakes range from you know, if you've ever parented a child, you know you make lots of mistakes. In my role as vice president, I mean I've probably worked very hard at making sure that I am well versed on issues, and I think that is very important. It's a mistake not to be well versed on an issue and feel compelled to answer a question.

So let me get this straight. Her greatest weakness is she surrounds herself with an amazing team who love America, who work incredibly hard, who just get to the bottom of every issue carefully with Nuance. And by the way, they are diverse team, so they have different views, so they consider the pros and cons. That's her weakness, mind you, but it's not nearly as good as her greatest mistake. Her greatest mistake is, you know, gosh darn it, I work too hard to get it right. I prepare too much.

No, that's exactly if you were saying what you would do.

It's also funny, and I don't know if you saw this going viral center, but it was creepily similar the beginning of her response to a scene out of the TV show The Office.

We're in a job interview.

They asked the main character see Carell, the same exact question, and he gives her answer, or she gives his answer. From the Office, almost verbatim, and it's gone viral. It's like, what did she prep for? Did she learn everything from watching The Office? Because there's almost a side by side ridiculous answer.

And the funny part is the Office.

The whole point of it was the the absurd and insane and hilarious answers.

Right, it's not written to be real, it's written to be absurd.

And yet her answer is almost identical to the actual words in the scene in the Office.

You can't make that up.

Yeah, and look, it goes back to David Axod's point. You get credibility by acknowledging mistakes. Now she's unable to acknowledge any weaknesses whatsoever. She's unable to acknowledge any mistakes whatsoever. But that's not just in the generic. Let's take the specifics. The easiest thing to say would be on the Southern border. Listen, what's happened has been a mess, but we're going to fix it. But when she's asked about the policies that she and Joe Biden put in place that caused this

You wish you'd done those executive orders in twenty twenty two, twenty twenty three.

I think we did the right thing.

But the best thing that can happen for the American people is that we have bipartisan happening. And I pledge to you that I will work across the aisle to fix this long standing problem. I think the American people are demanding it on both sides of the aisle, and it's time we actually put the partisan approach to this aside.

We know what can work, well, lit'sten.

We know it can work.

One hell of a way to end a question like that saying that you're the one that created the problem, but somehow it's got to be bipartisan, and we know it can work when you're the one that allowed all these people to come in this country with a wide open border as the borders are.

Well, and it's amazing to say. I think we did the right thing. I was absolutely right. When Joe Biden and I came into office, we inherited the lowest rate of illegal immigration in forty five years. We undid that on day one, and we cause the worst rate of illegal immigration in history.

I think we did the.

Right thing like acknowledging nothing saying nothing, And by the way she goes on that there is also an element part of acknowledging mistakes is is occasionally having some graciousness to concede something positive about your opponent. When Anderson Cooper asked her about the border wall, listen to what she says about this.

Donald Trump, you criticized the wall more than fifty times. You called it stupid, useless, and a medieval vanity project.

Is a border wall stupid?

Well, let's talk about Donald Trump and that border wall. So remember Donald Trump said Mexico would pay for it, Come on, they didn't. How much of that wall did he build? I think the last number I saw was about two percent. And then when it came time for him to do a photo op, you know where he did it in the part of the wall that President Obama built.

But you're agreed to a bill that would ear mark six hundred and fifty million dollars to continue building that.

Way, I pledged that I am going to bring forward that bipartisan bill to further strengthen and secure our border. Yes, I am, and I am going to work across the aisle to as a comprehensive bill that deals with a broken immigration system. I think Jackson's question part of it was to acknowledge that America has always had migration, but there needs to be.

A legal process for it. People have to earn it.

And that's the point that I think is the most important point that can be made, which is we need a president oh is grounded in common sense and practical outcomes, like let's just fix this thing. Let's just fix it. Why is there any ideological perspective on let's just fix the problem.

To fix the problem, you're doing this compromise bill. It does call for six hundred and fifty million dollars that was ear marked under Trump to actually still go to build the world.

I'm not afraid of good ideas where they occurred.

Say you don't think it's stupid anymore.

I think what he did and how he did it was did not make much sense because he actually didn't do much of anything. I just talked about that wall, all right, we just talked about it. He didn't actually do much of anything.

But you do want to build some wall.

I want to strengthen our border.

So which one is it? She wants to strengthen our border.

She wants to build the wall, but the wall is stupid if she doesn't build it. And it's a wall that she said she would never build and she would tear down.

So what she said was incoherent, it was factually wrong. Actually, Donald Trump built a substantial amount of wall, and at every inch of that wall that was built, Kamala Harris was fighting against it. Every single time she had a chance to vote on it, she voted against it. She's opposed a border wall every single day she's been in the Senate. I know that because I've been there with her every single day she's been at the Senate. At every stage, her answer was no, no, on any vote.

This is I do believe, going to be the Achilles Hill for her on election day. And that is this overall lack of cohesion of ideas. I think the flip flopping is hurting her, which brings me to what she's doing today in Texas. She's not coming to campaign necessarily in Texas, because I don't think she believes she's going

Do you believe it's going to work? Well?

I don't, and I think Kamala one of the things that Left has decided is that they are going to describe Texas as this horrible hell hole and like her message is going to be vote for me to avoid America becoming like Texas. And I got to say, you do have sort of facts in reality that crashes into that, which is, for more than a decade, Texas has had over one thousand people a day moving to our state. People are voting with their feet. They want to be here.

On the issue of law and order, as you mentioned, I think there's just a whole lot of misinformation. To be honest with you, I have personally prosecuted very serious crime. It's how I started my career. I spent most of my career as a prosecutor, not.

In Washington, D C.

And as my first priority had and remains as a first prior to me, the safety of the American people.

So that has not changed.

And sadly, I think that there's a bit of misinformation, if not more than a bit. But I'm glad that you raised the subject so that I can address it.

She again generalities, no actual real answer the.

Question, Yeah, does she address true or false? You have repeatedly called for defunding the police. Answer true, true or false. You've voted for defunding the police. Answer true, true or false. You've called for abolishing and defunding ICE. Answer true, true or false. You've called for shutting down ICE detention centers and pledged to do so on your first day as president. Answer true, true or false. You've advocated for releasing violent

Let me also ask you another question about this town hall, and it dealt with her plan, and it's the socialist plan, her plan on groceries.

She's now tripling down. She tried to run away from it.

That didn't work, so now she's back at it again, saying, if you vote for me, I'm going to give you a communist price control. She was actually asked a question from someone in the audience about this.

Listen.

Ices have gone up quite a bit in the last four years, and some people blame former President Trump, some people blame President Biden. Who would you say is correct and what would you do to bring prices down for Americans?

Thank you, Eric, and you're absolutely right. You know what, I know what I think most Americans know it. Price and grocery is still too high, and we need to address it in a number of ways. One of my aspects of doing what we need to do to bring down the cost of living for working people in the middle class in America is to address the issue of

Mean, that seems like the most ridiculous answer, this national ban on price gouging.

We already have a lot of laws on price gouging.

A lot of states have those laws, and they're the ones that usually are implementing them. So what is she actually offering up here that everybody that has that's as a big story is evil if I don't like their price today.

Well, and listen, in the grocery context, it's it's particularly absurd. So states that have price gouging laws, and by the way, Texas has a price gouging laws law, they are typically focused on emergency. So if you have, say a hurricane, price gouging laws are if if you know, ordinarily you charge a dollar for a bottle of water, and a hurricane hits and you decide you're going to charge fifty dollars for a bottle of water. That's when price gouging

Before I play that, I want to talk to you about your safety, especially if you have a daughter, a wife, someone that you love that maybe doesn't feel comfortable with a firearm. And that is a company called burn Up increase crime and violence around our country. We got to remember that personal safety and security. With the crime stats we're now witnessing where violent crime has gone up. Number

With a sixty foot range.

One shot can incapacitate attackers for up to forty minutes. It's used by government agencies and law enforcement around the country and more than a half million units have been sold and they have more than fourteen thousand, four and a half star reviews.

Take a listen.

Simple question from Anderson Cooper asked to Kamway Harris, and her response is laughable.

Some voters, though, might ask, you've been in the White House for four years. You were vice president, not the president, But why wasn't any of that done over the last four years.

Well, there was a lot that was done, but there's more to do, Anderson, and I'm pointing out things that need to be done that haven't been done but need to be done.

You couldn't write a better script for Saturday Night Live.

There you go.

I'm pointing out the things that need to be done, that haven't been done, that need to be done, and by the way, I'm the one that didn't do them, but I'm the one you can count to do them. But actually compare that and combine that with let's remember her biggest mistake. But when she's asked, look, people want to change the page. They want to turn the page. They recognize that the Biden Harris record is a disaster.

Considering you've been in the position of vice president for the past four years under the Biden administration, how can we expect you to deviate from the direction of that administration compared to your own.

How can we differentiate.

Your policy and your beliefs from that of Biden's.

That's a great question, and thank you well. First of all, my administration will not be a continuation of the Biden administration. I bring to this role my own ideas and my own experience. I represent a new generation of leadership on a number of issues and believe that we have to actually take new approaches. For example, what we talked about

And so I know what it means and have the experience.

Of taking care of an elderly relative, and I have raised children, and so I bring to my priorities and will as president a new approach and a new idea frankly.

About what we need to do to deal with the Sandwich generation.

There it is. It's I'm not him. His policies are terrible. I'm different. But a month ago I told you we were amazing together and his policies were amazing.

And the difference is I'm a new generation. I actually care about people, unlike that old geezer By the way I know what it's like to care for old geezers. Look at the one I care for in the White House right now that I lied to you about and said was brilliant engage when he actually isn't. I mean, I mean it truly is. It is a miracle of circularity. But but we actually should close on what we opened on.

Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes?

I do, Yes, I do, and I and I also believe that the people who know him best on this subject should be trusted.

Senator, I go back to the dog whistle.

This is so concerning to me because all I hear is, Hey, if there's someone out there that wants to finish the job, these other two attempted assassins were trying to finish the President's already been shot once, we've dehumanized him to the point where we're right back to calling him a fascist and earlier today in front of the official American flag at the home of the Vice President.

I'm telling you, he's Hitler.

I cannot believe the level of hatred and irresponsibility from Kamala Harris in this moment.

At the same time that they're sending out Barack Obama to say, we need more civility and decency and this bitterness is too much. And by the way, my opponent is Hitler. They managed to say those without taking a breath between those two statements.

This is the campaign, this is the closing arguments.

I do feel like this is desperation, as you mentioned earlier, Senator, and they feel like this election may be slipping away from them, and this is their way to say, Hey, orange man's fascist, orange Man Hitler. Let's see if that's our closing argument, if it works to the American people. And oh, by the way, we want to kill babies on demand. Let's have a big rally in Texas on that. Don't forget. We do the show Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.
