This is an iHeart podcast. This is Buzz Knight from Taking a Walk. Lexus believes in the importance of standards. One of my standards. I never want to be late. I always want to show up on time. For Lexus, the standard is simple experience. Amazing. Their benchmarks aren't stats or specs. They're feelings. Exhilaration, joy that sens your car was designed just for you. Machines built to make you feel more human. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing experience. Amazing at your Lexus dealer Candice Rivera has it all. In just three years, she went from stay at home mom to traveling the world, saving lives and making millions. Anyone would think Candice's charmed life is about as real as unicorns. But sometimes the truth is even harder to believe than the lies. Not true. There's so many things not true. You've gotta believe me.

Good Wednesday morning. It's nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update. And we have a big update when it comes to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We also are going to cover another aspect of this, and that is how did we get to the point where so many young people are radicalized to believe that they can take out their political adversaries, people they disagree with? Were they radicalized by the Democratic Party? And did this actually come from the top? We have the audio and a montage that you do not want to miss using major words, words that the shooter of Charlie Kirk used, the assassin used in justifying his actions. And who was teaching him those words? The leadership in the Democratic Party and the media. But first, I want to talk to you about my friends over at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of choices for cell phone service with new ones popping up all the time. But if you want to make a difference and you want to stop giving your money to liberal companies, well, one way you can do that is by getting rid of liberal mobile. You probably have right now. That is where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now coming together and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've been in service now for 13 years. And right now is the best time ever to switch because it's never been easier. Now, before I tell you about that, I want you to know why switching is so important. Because every time you make a call, every time you send a text, and every time that you pay your bill, you're actually standing up for the values you believe in. Your first and your second amendment rights, the rights of unborn children. And you stand with our military, our veterans, our wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot mobile takes about 5% of your bill every month at no extra cost to you. And they give it back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade. Patriot mobile's got a 100 US based customer service team and literally they can now with technology, get you activated in minutes from the comfort of your home or your office. If you're stuck in a contractor, owe money on your phones. No worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program. And this is how we win, folks. By aligning our spinning with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now let me also give you a free month of Service. Go to patriotmobile.com ferguson that's patriot mobile.com ferguson or you can call them 972-patriot. Use the promo code ferguson, and you're going to get one month free service by switching today. So again, patriotmobile.com ferguson use the promo code ferguson. You'll get a free month of service today. Patriot mobile.com ferguson or 972-patriot it's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now. Story number one. There is a question that has been asked, and that is how did we get to where we are today, where we have young people in America who believe at a rate of 42% that political violence in a new poll is acceptable behavior. How did this youngest generation get to the point where they believe that assassinating people that you disagree with politically, you disagree with the words that they are saying is justifiable? I'm going to give you evidence of exactly how we got to where we are right now. And I believe that this is a clear and coordinated effort by the left at the highest levels of the Democratic Party to radicalize a generation. The same way that terrorist organizations use young people to do their dirty work for them, the same way that cartels use young people to do their dirty work for them, their drug smuggling, their human trafficking, their sex trafficking, they indoctrinated their young people. They use them as their mules. And so the Democratic Party started in on our young people at our college campuses, at our high schools, at our elementary schools years ago. And now we have gotten to a point where 42% of America's youngest generation believes that political violence, assassinations, burning of buildings is acceptable, warranted, needed part of society. We also have the media who has gotten in on this indoctrination by giving the microphone to the leaders of the Democratic Party. And I'm not talking about fringe leaders. I'm talking about the top leadership. I'm talking about the former president, United States of America, Joe Biden, the former vice president of the United States of America, Kamala Harris, the White House press secretaries, senators, congressmen and other members of the media that have said, yes, we will indoctrinate people to believe that the conservative movement is so dangerous that you are justified in wanting to kill them. But how do you get to that point? The simple answer is you name call, you desensitize, you dehumanize. Governor Pritzker, for example, was asked a question, a question, a simple question. He said he's never Ever called Republicans Nazis or Hitler. By the way, the media knows this is a lie. They should have said, well then, if you're going to say this now, Governor of Illinois, then we want to quote for you, play for you. Your own words that got people to the point where they thought it was okay to take out conservatives like Donald Trump and Charlie Kirk and whoever the hell else they want to do this to because you've turned them into the worst people in the history of our world. Simple response from Governor Pritzker. What did it sound like? And then listen to his own words over his own history. That is completely false. I have never called Republicans Nazis. Everything that he has done has been tearing down constitutional democracy. And that's what happened in Nazi Germany. It doesn't take very long to tear apart a constitutional republic. Indeed, the Nazis did it in 53 days. And our democracy is almost as fragile. And we're seeing it right now. The dangers that we saw in, in, you know, Nazi Germany, especially in the earliest days of, of Nazi Germany, are the dangers that we need to react to now. If we don't, things will get much, much worse. And so we've got to raise alarm bells to everybody. It's a five alarm fire, everyone. Governor Pritzker there. In his own words. What did he say in tweets? Tweets that are still up right now. In his own words, support Trump question mark. We could be like the good citizens who voted for a tameable Hitler to get things back on track. Was one of his tweets he put out. That's not enough. Governor Pritzker quote, this unhinged disgrace of the presidency just openly sympathize with Nazis on national television. Another tweet from him. When neo Nazis marched on Charlottesville chanting Jews will not replace us, Donald Trump called them very fine people. That is a lie, by the way. And now back to his tweet. He says it's a lie. It's not a lie. Donald Trump is just a liar. J.D. pritzker, a billionaire Democrat. Billionaire Democrat. The way Donald Trump praises and romanticizes Hitler is unhinged. He put another tweet disturbing and disqualifying. He is a dictator in waiting. We know exactly what he'll do if he's in power. Again, referring to his reelection. It cannot happen, he says. Now why would Pritzker put this out there? How about this one? His first term, Trump said Hitler did some good things. In January, Elon proudly gave a Nazi salute. Also lie. Yesterday, Rep. Self quoted Joseph Goebbels, chief Nazi Propaganda minister on the House floor. They know what they're doing. J.D. pritzker knew what he was doing, by the way. He knew that he was lying. He knew that he was trying to undermine every conservative out there by saying, you are justifiable youngest generation and wanting to take them out, when to assassinate them, when to burn down our cities, wanting to kill them. But Pritzker is not the only one. We've got the top leadership of the Democratic Party saying this for years. I hope you will take what I'm about to play for you and spread it everywhere that while Donald Trump was president, he said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had. Just to be clear, when you said, we do agree President Biden believes that Donald Trump is a bash. I mean, yes, we have said, he said himself, the former president has said he is going to be a dictator on day one. We cannot ignore that. We cannot. Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist? Yes, I do. Yes, I do. President Franklin Roosevelt was appalled that neo Nazis fascists in America were lining up to essentially pledge their support for the kind of government that they were seeing in Germany. Listen, I am concerned that this race is tight in general, for whatever reason, even if Americans didn't understand that he is a threat to our democracy and that he is a fascist. His default, of course, is a fascist like tendency during the time that he can, you know, have a cognitive ability. And that's not an accusation that I'm making. That's an accusation that comes from people who have worked for him at the most senior level. You've never had in the history of the country a president want to be like Adolf Hitler. I mean, that's just such an extraordinary statement that have come from now a number of people, that it should cause everybody in America to stop and think about how devastatingly impossible that is to contemplate. It's a joyful campaign, but it is reflecting off who they are running against a dark, dismal, fascist, and increasingly obviously fascist person. We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration. This is what 21st century fascism is starting to look like. So as important as it is that we are doing the work of resistance against Donald Trump and this hostile administration and this hostile government takeover and this march towards extremism. Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. Are they a threat to democracy? Yes. Are they going to take our rights away? Yes. Are they going to put people's lives in danger? Yes. Are they going to endanger the planet by not dealing with climate change. Yes, they're going to do. All that needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. And unfortunately, there's plenty to go around. I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country. Maybe there will be. It's a danger. He's a genuine danger to American security. What is what kicking the out of fascism looks like? Comparing the tactics of Donald Trump to Mussolini and Hitler is a very legitimate thing. We have Atimu Hitler in the White House right now. I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House. They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. And that's a fact. The thing we were all warning about for the last few years is not coming. It is here. We do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge, have a consolidating dictatorship in our country. And what we're seeing play out here is Donald Trump's promise to be a dictator on day one. Trump has seemingly never met a dictator he doesn't like. It's some real dictator type stuff. The American people will have to decide that they are the last in the line of defense against Donald Trump and American fascists. What is happening right now with this presidential attack on judges? We live in a fascist dictatorship. This is where we are. You have to call a thing what it is and be definitional about it. The word MAGA doesn't mean anything other than if you go back, it's what fascists used to say. I've been tweeting for over a year. Daily Reminder. Today's GOP is no longer a political movement. It is a fascist movement that has embraced white nationalism. Here's the guy who said, stand back and stand by to the proud boys. Look at what he's doing last night. As you know that, you know, more or less salutes that are either qanon or almost looked like Nazism. That is how we got to where we are today. That is how we got to the point where a deranged individual decided it was his duty to take out Charlie Kirk. That is how America got to the point where we had to witness the assassination attempt and the shooting of a President Donald J. Trump. This doesn't happen overnight. It happens when you chip away at what makes this country so great. When you chip away at people and you instill hate in the hearts of young people. You notice that the violence is coming from the youngest in America, the youngest adults in America, the rioting and the looting and the breakdown of society, the stealing in our stores, in our cities, the demise of our cities in this country. Who are the ones that are the bad actors? It is the youngest generation who now is saying publicly four out of 10 of them are saying it is justifiable to kill your political enemy. Never forget what the media and the left have done to this nation. Thank you for listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

Hey everyone, it's Sophia Bush, host of the podcast Work in Progress. Lexis is a company that believes in the importance of setting a standard. For me, a standard that matters to me is being a friend, being a person, being a co worker who shows up. The standard Lexus has set for themselves is to experience amazing. Lexus benchmarks are feelings, things like exhilaration and joy and amazing can only be achieved by knowing people on a deeper level. It's feeling like your car was designed and built just for you. A machine that makes you feel more human. Because a car that doesn't make you feel something is a car that stops short of amazing. So experience amazing at your Lexus dealer.
