The language that we actually have about the criminal justice system talks about how currently our police and prison system is stacked toward persecuting for people.

4:09And excusing rich people's crimes. I personally have no problem with having something called a prison. Be the place where people like that are kept. And why are you abolish prisons the thing? Is it just that it's a... The language that we have in there is abolishing the police and prison system that protects capital. You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. Good Tuesday morning, nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. And it's time to get into who are the Democrats actually going to be if they get the money. If they get the majority they're demanding in the midterm election. Well, they're doing everything they can to make it seem like they're not as crazy as they actually are. We're going to visit candidates all over the country and let you hear exactly what they're saying in their own words. And then you can decide just how radical the Marxist, Socialist and Communist and the Democratic Party actually are. Now, I'm going to play for you their words in just a moment. But before we get to that, three years ago, terrorists murdered more than 1,200 innocent Israelis and took 250 hostages.

5:13Today, as we remember the soul's loss on October 7th, Israel is still under threat from terrorists' sworn to her destruction. An anti-Semitic hatred and violence continued to rise yet, as the world looks away, light shines in the darkness. Christians and Jews are coming together to boldly stand with Israel through the international fellowship of Christians and Jews and an amazing program called Flags of Fellowship across America on the anniversary of October 7th attacks. Churches, Senegales, Universities and Communities are planting Israeli flags. It's a powerful declaration that Israel is not alone. Now together, we can combat hate and anti-Semitism one flag at a time, while supporting the fellowship's life-saving work for people in need. So please donate today to plant your flag and boldly show your support for Israel and the Jewish people. You can join this historic movement with a gift of just $25. Raise your voice and show the world that Israel is not alone.

6:15Visit joinf0f.org. That's joinf0f.org. It's the 47 Morning Update and it starts right now. Story number one. There is an interesting ad that has come out and I say ad and I want to play it for you. I was asked the question the other day. What is the democratic agenda? Now I've been saying for a long time that Democratic Party is dead. I've been saying for a long time that I believe the Democratic Party is filled with Marxist socialists and Communists. If you've ever listened to me before, I've been saying this while people were telling me that that was an extreme statement to say. I had people in the media calling out back, well that's just hyperbolic and you're just trying to say this to get ratings or clips or whatever. No, I actually believe it. I genuinely believe it. And what I believe is that the democratic agenda is to destroy this country, to destroy democracy and to unleash lawlessness.

7:15Now the Democratic Socialists of America and that is the Democratic Party. They are Socialists, they're Communist or Marxist. They have said that they want to abolish the Senate. They want to replace the presidency. They want to replace the Supreme Court. They have said they want to eradicate prisons. They want to get rid of what would make this country a country because the country without borders is no country at all. They want to get rid of borders. And they also want to get rid of law enforcement. The warning is not a guess, folks. They're literally telling you the voter exactly who they are. Now, if you still don't believe what I just said, great. Listen to the Democrats agenda. Not my words, their own words. And we'll start with a guy by the name of Bernie Sanders. He's one of the Godfathers of the Marxist Socialist Movement within the Democratic Party. In the last eight months, Democratic Socialist candidates all over this country have been winning major victories.

8:22We've also seen several candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America, topple and come to Democrats in primaries. The co-chair of the Democratic Socialist of America was asked about their platform yesterday. A abolish the Senate. True. Okay, replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them. Yep, defund the Pentagon. Absolutely. A tweet from Congressional candidate Corey Bush. She called for defunding the Pentagon. We talk about defunding the Pentagon. A abolish prison, at least in large part. Yeah, again, that is part of a long-term program, yeah. Art prisons, absolutely. I mean, what purpose do they serve? We need to completely dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. The language that we have in there is abolishing the police and prison system. And policing as we know it. Defund in the police has to happen. A abolishing policing is one segment of reforming our criminal justice system. A now-deleted Twitter account of a Democratic Socialist, our Aliza, Avila, Chef Pierre,

9:24Post and repost supporting abolishing police, prisons and orders. I believe that we do need to be funded the police. I have voted against raises for police officers that banged up to the city. You think about like cash bail as a system? What we're doing is discriminating against poverty. A abolish borders and give amnesty to anyone currently in the US illegally, as a long-term plan, yeah. I want to legalize seven or eight or nine or ten million people in our country. There has to be an immediate pathway for every single undocumented immigrant. We've got millions of people who are living here in the shadows. There needs to be a path to citizenship. Get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented... We need to be focusing on a pathway to citizenship for those who are here. We have 11 million people here who need a pathway to citizenship. I'm very supportive of bringing immigrants here to stay. We think that there should be ways for people to stay here. We ought to have a path for those folks to stay. A abolish ICE. Absolutely.

10:24We have to abolish ICE. This agency should be abolished. ICE has to be abolished. A abolish ICE. We need to rip up ICE. I've said ICE not only needs to be abolished, they need to be prosecuted. I will be abolished. The HF is running for them now. In 2018, I was calling for the abolishing of ICE. I voted against the creation of ICE. If it were up to me, we would completely overhaul ICE. Strip the agency down to the studs. Would you be in support of defunding ICE? I am. Yes. Is the rise of the DSA good for your party? Look, we are a big tent party. There it is. Now the good news is, what I just played for you, if you would like to share it, I'm going to put it up right now on X. And I'll put it on Instagram as well so you can share it because this is the Democratic agenda. Destroy our democracy, unleash lawlessness, abolish the Senate, replace the presidency in the Supreme Court, eradicate prisons, borders and law enforcement.

11:26They are telling you who they are, believe them. And then add on it, oh by the way, they're latest breaking news, which is, we're going to go after Trump donors. We're going to go after cabinet secretaries. We are going to do everything we can to lock up anybody that is connected to the President of the United States of America. So I think there's a number of cabinet secretaries that have blatantly broken the law, done unconstitutional things. And I think they better get ready because we'll come for them. I don't know if someone knows any stands, but I thank you so much for being with us today. Basically they should be saying thank you so much for weaponizing our government to destroy anyone that we don't like. I want to go back just to that point for a moment and just expand on a little bit. You put that all that I just played for you in that montage together with this other new threat, which is, if you're around this President, get ready to be bankrupted. And if you support this President, get ready for your company to be investigated and we'll come after you.

12:27You understand why they're doing what they're doing, why they're saying what they're saying. It's because they want you to be afraid to even support the President of the United States of America or the next conservative person out there because if you are afraid to support them, then they don't win. They have no power. They don't have no cash. They have no money. You know, you look at what just happened in Hungary and this is also another example of just how interesting all of this really is. In Hungary, you had a guy by the name of Victor Orban, who was the leader there. He lost his election. The party that has come in has now banned 50% of his supporters that were in office from ever being in office for running. They have stacked now the Supreme Court and they are going after Victor Orban and anybody in government that was there serving before them. Now you may say, well, how can they do that? Because they just won the majority. And they're now weaponizing the government to silence not only the people, but also the media.

13:27They want to make it where it's just not worth the risk. It is, it's just not worth the risk to go out there and boldly send it for what you believe in. Now you may say, Ben, that's hyperbole. You don't actually mean that. All right. Fine. Let me give you an example. This is really interesting. I love it when people say, I'm not really sure I believe you. They just nationalize the media certain parts of the media and the only parts that they nationalized in Hungary. And I was in Budapest speaking not once but twice and warning about this. I was, by the way, supporter of Victor Orban. And what they did was they went in and there was very few conservative media outlets very much like we have in this country, we have very few major conservative media outlets Fox News is is clearly the leader. And what they did is they went in and the new government nationalized the media. Specifically the conservative media and the very first thing they did was shut down. So not only have they banned 50 plus percent of the people in the conservative movement who are elect officials from ever being an office again.

14:35They then stacked the spring court to get the rulings they needed to do their second thing, which was to then do what I just told you they did, which was they said, okay. All these conservative media outlets and websites and newspapers. Yeah, we're going to nationalize those and then we're going to immediately shut them down and everybody's fired and you're on a political hit list. This is happening in Hungary because of one election cycle and they're trying to in prison anybody that was close to Victor Orban. They're trying to imprison the people that supported Victor Orban and they're silencing the people that disagree with the new government by shutting by nationalizing and then shutting down these media outlets. If you think that the democratic system of America any different than what we're witnessing right now and in Hungary, you're wrong. Like they will do exactly what they're doing in Hungary right here in the United States of America. They will do it. They're telling you what they want to do. They're telling you what they hate. They're telling you who they're going to come after. When you take the government and the government no longer works for the people it works for your political ideology.

15:40And that is what Democrats are now saying right they're they're telling you hey you elect us and we will go after our political enemies that are your political enemies. If you hate Trump got it we're going to go after and we're going to weaponize our government we're going to destroy his life. We're going to finish what we tried to start a few years ago, but we're going to make it hurt even more. We used to just go after Trump and we just went after Trump and a couple associates around him but mainly after went after Trump and his kids. And we were trying to just destroy him financially so he had a file for bankruptcy. We didn't have the power anymore. He wouldn't be elected. He would be caught up in law fair and then you guys would have to go out go with a different candidate. Now they're saying no, no, no. Hey, guess what? You're a cabinet secretary who's got an incredible record of being a honest human being. Doesn't matter. Lee Zeldin, game on Scott Besson, game on Marco Rubio, game on. Maybe you're out of power now. Maybe you maybe you've lost your power. Christy Nome don't worry. We'll come after you and I also believe they'll go after ambassadors.

16:40There's a real conversation that's happening right now in Washington DC by ambassadors that are worried that they're going to be next because a lot of the ambassadors were huge supporters of the president United of the president United States America during his campaign run. And if you're a huge supporter of the president United States America, then what the Democratic party is now saying is, hey, if you're a supporter, you're on the enemies list. You're on the hit list. We're coming after you game on. This is what dictators and tyrants do. And this is what this midterm is actually about. It is not about policies. If you notice that we haven't spoken a word about the policies. Really the Democrats are in because they're not running on policies anymore. They're running on America's evil destroy America and then weaponize our government to go after our political opponent so that they are no longer a problem for us. It's no different than what we're watching right now and hungry. Some of the people that interviewed me when I was in a doodipast speaking of this conference have been their lives are their lives as in their professional lives have been destroyed.

17:41They will never work again as long as the party that's in power now is in power because they're untouchable. Right. You can't hire them because if you do will come in and will nationalize that organization and will shut you down. It is it is truly a a a a enemies hit list. That is what it is.
