Speaker 1: This is the US Report with James Morrow.
Speaker 2: Good evening and welcome to the program. Huge program coming
Speaker 2: up tonight. Here's a bit of what's coming up. No
Speaker 2: more mister nice guy boom. Trump's taking out drug cartel
Speaker 2: boats and you'll never guess who's angry about it.
Speaker 1: Plus Maja Farrage.
Speaker 2: Comes to town, will free speech, worries over Britain, bust
Speaker 2: up the Special Relationship, and Bobby Kennedy, well.
Speaker 1: He's blowing up the swamp. It's Maha time.
Speaker 2: But first, Donald Trump's war on crime and how he's
Speaker 2: trying to use the issue to set the Republicans up
Speaker 2: for midterm wins in twenty twenty six as well as
Speaker 2: for his eventual successor to hang on to the White
Speaker 2: House in twenty twenty eight. Now, what Trump started in Washington,
Speaker 2: DC last month of the effort to clean up the
Speaker 2: nation's capital is going nationwide.
Speaker 1: Next stop Chicago.
Speaker 3: This is the best issue of all. They are against
Speaker 3: preventing crime. They are fighting us. I want to go
Speaker 3: into Chicago and have this incompetent governor that doesn't want us.
Speaker 3: Do you know that this weekend seventy two people were
Speaker 3: shot in Chicago. I'm embarrassed to say it in front
Speaker 3: of the President of Poland. Eleven people were killed, seventy
Speaker 3: two people were shot. So in three weeks I lost
Speaker 3: almost almost thirty five people were killed. It could have
Speaker 3: been stopped. If you look at Washington, d C. Three
Speaker 3: weeks ago, it was the same or worse. And now
Speaker 3: it's considered a totally safe zone.
Speaker 2: Indeed, and you know what, he's got a point. Last
Speaker 2: weekend was the Labor Day long weekend in the US,
Speaker 2: and it was an absolute bloodbath in Chicago.
Speaker 1: And it's the.
Speaker 2: Same story almost every other weekend in the Windy City. Now,
Speaker 2: call me crazy, but it seems to be cleaning up
Speaker 2: this problem. Might be a good idea, but not everyone,
Speaker 2: as it turns out, agrees, particularly not the Democrats who
Speaker 2: run the joint and think that everything is well, just fine. Indeed,
Speaker 2: the left, and in this I include much of the media,
Speaker 2: seems very defensive about this idea that Chicago was somehow
Speaker 2: particularly violent. Newsweek put on its encyclopedia Brown Detective hat
Speaker 2: and came up with a list of major cities with
Speaker 2: a higher murder rate than Chicago. Where would we be
Speaker 2: without fact checkers Hey and Nicole Wallace over at MSNBC
Speaker 2: or ms NOW or whatever they're calling it. Try to
Speaker 2: fact check the president as well.
Speaker 4: And all of it designed to scare people. And let's
Speaker 4: do a little bit more fact checking, because I think
Speaker 4: if they were on solid ground, they wouldn't be lying
Speaker 4: so much, would they. Donald Trump said this in the
Speaker 4: last hour quote, Chicago's a murder capital of the world.
Speaker 1: Fact check false.
Speaker 4: That's actually distinction that Tijuana, Mexico has right now the
Speaker 4: highest homicide rate in the world.
Speaker 2: Oh sorry, it was Tijuana for the moment. At least
Speaker 2: that would be outside the president's jurisdiction. And then Wallace
Speaker 2: went on Trump.
Speaker 4: Posted in that weekend post, you're talking about bond quote,
Speaker 4: Chicago's the worst, the most dangerous city in the world.
Speaker 1: That is also false. That of the US.
Speaker 4: City that cracks the top ten, there's only one, and
Speaker 4: it's a Memphis Tennessee has a White House addressed what
Speaker 4: it's going to do for Memphis Tennessee today.
Speaker 1: Von Yeah, great question there, Nicole.
Speaker 2: But this is one of those moments where two things
Speaker 2: can be true at the same time. Trump could be
Speaker 2: serious about wanting to clean up Chicago, but you can
Speaker 2: also have a real political purpose for wanting to do so,
Speaker 2: because at the moment, none of those other cities our
Speaker 2: friends in the media are referring to is in a
Speaker 2: state where the governor is setting himself up as a
Speaker 2: leader of the Democrat Party and a potential rival for
Speaker 2: the Republicans come the.
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty eight presidential contest.
Speaker 2: So again, while I believe Trump is sincere in his
Speaker 2: desire to clean up Chicago, after all, this is a
Speaker 2: man who hates urban carnage. The formative years of his
Speaker 2: Manhattan real estate career took place in the lawless New
Speaker 2: York of the pre Giuliana years. Well, Trump's real target
Speaker 2: is this guy.
Speaker 5: Just during the last week, I've been in neighborhoods across Chicago,
Speaker 5: from Bronsville to South Shore, to Chatham to Little Village.
Speaker 5: The President's absurd characterizations do not match what is happening
Speaker 5: on the ground here. He has no idea what he's
Speaker 5: talking about. There is no emergency that warrants deployment of troops.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's Illinois Governor JB. Pritzker, of the billionaire Pritsker family,
Speaker 2: who has made no secret about his desire to become
Speaker 2: the de facto opposition leader of the Democrats now, Pritsker
Speaker 2: is directly in Trump's sites, even featuring an AI video
Speaker 2: Trump's social media set up as a super wrestler paddling
Speaker 2: Chris Christie feeding the poor downstairs neighbors there.
Speaker 1: But Pritzker, a sworn.
Speaker 2: Full of Trump, has no place to hide on this
Speaker 2: issue of crime. Here's what he had to say when
Speaker 2: he was confronted about it by a journalist the other day.
Speaker 2: You're going to hear people, especially pat this past weekend,
Speaker 2: fifty four shot, seven dead.
Speaker 1: They're going to say the city's not safe.
Speaker 2: Would you ask your friends to ride the l after
Speaker 2: midnight or after nine o'clock at night, even to come
Speaker 2: down to the city from O'Hare.
Speaker 6: Look, big cities have crime, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 1: Big cities have crime.
Speaker 2: Okay, sure, Look, Pritzker is sorry to say, this a
Speaker 2: big target here. And while Trump might not be able
Speaker 2: to run again in twenty eight, he also knows that
Speaker 2: whatever he achieves this term will be quickly undone if
Speaker 2: the Democrats regained the White House at the next contest.
Speaker 2: That's why he's doing what he is doing right now
Speaker 2: and working to freeze, isolate and take down Pritzker. It's
Speaker 2: very similar to every race he's ever been in, Just
Speaker 2: like in twenty sixteen the presidential primaries, when he systematically picked.
Speaker 1: Off each of his rivals one by one.
Speaker 2: Today he is setting up to start smashing potential Democratic contenners,
Speaker 2: knocking them out of contention by making them look, in
Speaker 2: Pritzker's case, like a soft on crime joke.
Speaker 1: Yet crime is.
Speaker 2: Another one of those eighty twenty or even ninety ten issues.
Speaker 2: I mean, like, sorry, you've got dozens of shootings a
Speaker 2: weekend and you're against the National Guard, You're against doing
Speaker 2: something about it. This is such a loser issue for
Speaker 2: the Democrats, and Trump knows it, and even some on
Speaker 2: the left are waking up. Even on MSNBC here's Joe Scarborough.
Speaker 7: But you know, we had the mayor of Chicago on
Speaker 7: last week saying, oh, we don't need any more police officers.
Speaker 7: Police officers aren't the answer. No police officers. And you know,
Speaker 7: I think he said no five times. You look what's
Speaker 7: happening this weekend.
Speaker 1: He looks. You know, I actually think that JB. Prinsker
Speaker 1: should do something radical.
Speaker 7: I think you should pick up the phone, call the
Speaker 7: president and say, you know, and I know you don't
Speaker 7: have the constitutional authority to deploy the National Guard here
Speaker 7: and the police. My my, you can do that in DC.
Speaker 7: You can't do that in Chicago. But let's partner up.
Speaker 1: Dead right.
Speaker 2: Joe Scarborough nails it. What people like Pritzker need to
Speaker 2: do is admit the problem and in doing so, disarm
Speaker 2: Trump and look like the bigger person. It's a far
Speaker 2: better way to manage the situation than taking the side
Speaker 2: of gangbangers. Because guess what, even if the Democrat Party
Speaker 2: machine hates the idea of cleaning up crime, well, Chicago residents,
Speaker 2: let's hear what they think.
Speaker 3: The National Guard has to come, even if it's for
Speaker 3: a scare attack, they have to come here.
Speaker 8: There's no control, there's no law and order.
Speaker 9: Hey, Trump, Trump, you need to bring the National Guards
Speaker 9: to Chicago.
Speaker 8: Man, you got kids, kill the kids.
Speaker 6: Man, that's not good man, Washington, DC is not much
Speaker 6: going on compared to Chicago.
Speaker 10: Man, in Chicago, everybody gotta get down.
Speaker 11: Everybody gotta get down because they shooting.
Speaker 6: Everybody down.
Speaker 1: Look, look the kids.
Speaker 6: Are running, they shooting.
Speaker 1: We can't have no fun in Chicago, man, no fun, man,
Speaker 1: This is terrible.
Speaker 12: Out of thought.
Speaker 1: God damn flag.
Speaker 11: Because this y'all neighborhood.
Speaker 2: Well, let's get straight into it now with my first
Speaker 2: guest joining me now is political journalist John Fund. John,
Speaker 2: Welcome back to the program. I spoke a bumma the
Speaker 2: go the effort to clean up crime in Chicago. It
Speaker 2: seems to me that Donald Trump is turning into almost
Speaker 2: the mayor of America with his efforts to clean up crime,
Speaker 2: first in Washington, now in the Windy City. But it
Speaker 2: also seems to me it's about picking a fight with
Speaker 2: Illinois Governor JMI Pritzker. Tell us about what he's doing here.
Speaker 2: What's your read on it?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 10: J B.
Speaker 13: Printzkier is clearly running for president, and Donald Trump isn't
Speaker 13: happy with him or the fact that he may be
Speaker 13: the Democratic candidate, so he's trying to diminish it, which
Speaker 13: is not hard. Despite JB. Pritzker's weight. JM. Prinskier has
Speaker 13: had a horrible governorship. Illinois is a mess. Chicago is
Speaker 13: an even worse mess. And Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago,
Speaker 13: and JM. Pritzker the governor, are perfect punching bags for
Speaker 13: Donald Trump. Chicago is a mess. I'm not a fan
Speaker 13: of having federal enforcement sweep into a city, but threatening
Speaker 13: it has some benefits. For one thing, it focuses the
Speaker 13: attention on the horrible job the Chicago Police Department is doing,
Speaker 13: not because of its own problems, but because the mayor
Speaker 13: has too many constraints on them and doesn't back them up.
Speaker 13: So just having the debate, even if Trump doesn't intervene,
Speaker 13: is useful because it may force the mayor to actually
Speaker 13: pay attention to public safety.
Speaker 2: Well, and does this apply then more broadly to a
Speaker 2: lot of others Democrat run cities across the country that
Speaker 2: all have their own crime problems. I mean, I played
Speaker 2: some clips a moment ago of Chicago residents who all said, yes, please,
Speaker 2: mister Trump, do something help with this issue. Have the
Speaker 2: Democrats got themselves on the wrong end of another eighty
Speaker 2: twenty issue, not just in Chicago but nationally here.
Speaker 13: Well, the only Democratic mayor who seems to be handling
Speaker 13: it well is Muriel Bowser, who, after some initial resistance, said,
Speaker 13: we are happy to cooperate with the National Guard. After
Speaker 13: that's in Washington. Yeah, yes, that's it's a federal city.
Speaker 13: They have ultimate jurisdiction here, and we'll we'll work with them.
Speaker 13: I think the other Democrats around the country are suffering
Speaker 13: from Trump derangement syndrome. As soon as Trump mentions I'm
Speaker 13: paying attention to your city, they start frothing at the mouth,
Speaker 13: and it makes it appear as if they don't care
Speaker 13: about their own shortcomings in public safety. Whether that's true
Speaker 13: or not, the appearance is horrible politically because once again
Speaker 13: Trump has steered the Democrats down a blank cul de
Speaker 13: sac from which they have no exit.
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing, John, I mean, I've been watching
Speaker 2: Trump play this game for almost a decade now. It
Speaker 2: really has been on the scene from a decade in politics.
Speaker 2: It seems like they just keep falling for the trap.
Speaker 2: But I did also show Joe Scarro from MSNBC. He
Speaker 2: actually said, you know, the smart play here would be
Speaker 2: for Democrat mayors when Trump comes to town, say yes, please,
Speaker 2: can we work together and diffuse this trap that Trump
Speaker 2: keeps setting up for the left on these issues.
Speaker 13: Well, the mind is often overridden by the heart and
Speaker 13: emotions here. You know Pavlov's dog. The dog knows it
Speaker 13: probably shouldn't salivate, but it's been trained to do that,
Speaker 13: so it can't help itself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, I think you're right about that.
Speaker 2: But you know, also just this issue of crime seems
Speaker 2: to be a really big thing for the president here,
Speaker 2: and we saw a new move in the interdiction of
Speaker 2: drugs coming into the US. They conductul a strike on
Speaker 2: a Venezuelan drug boat, killing eleven on board. Here's how
Speaker 2: Marco Rubio described what happened, why they took this action.
Speaker 11: In addiction doesn't work because these drug cartels, what they
Speaker 11: do is they know they're going to lose, you know,
Speaker 11: two percent of their cargo. They bake it into their economics.
Speaker 11: What will stop them is when you blow them up,
Speaker 11: when you get rid of them.
Speaker 2: And yet John, I've seen Democrats say, oh my god,
Speaker 2: this is a terrible thing. You can't go blowing up
Speaker 2: drug runners.
Speaker 13: Well, there's another aspect to this. Remember these drug runners
Speaker 13: were from Venezuela. The Maduro administration, the dictatorship there is
Speaker 13: certainly at odds with Donald Trump. This sends a message
Speaker 13: to Maduro. If your people are involved with the drug running,
Speaker 13: and we can prove it or strongly suspect it, they're
Speaker 13: at risk too. And in fact, we have just doubled
Speaker 13: the reward money for someone who removes you from office,
Speaker 13: So it's up to fifty million dollars. The message here
Speaker 13: is not just to the drug runners, is to the
Speaker 13: military advisors around Maduro. You want to make fifty million dollars,
Speaker 13: help us overthrow Maduro and we will richly compensate you.
Speaker 1: Absolutely right.
Speaker 2: Hey, I want to show you too this footage that
Speaker 2: has just emerged of Joe Biden in Delaware. It's from
Speaker 2: apparently last weekend, but on it you can see the
Speaker 2: form president having a massive wound, a sort of scar
Speaker 2: on his head.
Speaker 1: Now, we don't know what happened.
Speaker 2: Yet here to cause this, and of course we wish
Speaker 2: him the best, but this sort of thing would suggest
Speaker 2: again that all of that talk that Joe Biden was
Speaker 2: the fittest Joe Biden ever and could have you know,
Speaker 2: taken on Trump and won and served another term. Well,
Speaker 2: I kind of look at this footage, I look at
Speaker 2: how he's looking in general, I kind of think they
Speaker 2: were having us on.
Speaker 13: Well two points here. First of all, the Joe Biden
Speaker 13: footage here just demonstrates if you're beyond a certain age,
Speaker 13: make sure, no matter what happens, that you don't fall.
Speaker 13: This is what happens when you fall. Now a better story,
Speaker 13: a bigger story in New York Post is that the
Speaker 13: Biden pardon attorneys and the Biden people who presided over
Speaker 13: the auto pen were unsure that the President had actually
Speaker 13: given permission for the hundreds and hundreds of people he
Speaker 13: gave clemency to. There's now email that it has been
Speaker 13: revealed showing the White House in complete confusion of the
Speaker 13: last days of the Biden administration. Who's in charge, who's
Speaker 13: on first. This shows that Joe Biden was not the
Speaker 13: captain of his own ship, at least in the last
Speaker 13: days of his presidency, and probably for months before then,
Speaker 13: which of course we all suspect.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we all suspect it. I want to hear
Speaker 2: a lot more about these pardons in the autopen in
Speaker 2: the months to come, because I reckon there's a lot
Speaker 2: of people who got off that shouldn't have. John, I
Speaker 2: want to ask you. Also here in Australia, there's been
Speaker 2: a lot of concerns about our relationship with the United
Speaker 2: States and with the Trump White House. Our own Prime
Speaker 2: Minister has been accused of not being in touch enough
Speaker 2: with this White House. But apparently overnight last night the
Speaker 2: Prime Minister did speak with Donald Trump on the phone.
Speaker 2: They talked about trade, critical minerals, and economic cooperation.
Speaker 1: John, what's your read?
Speaker 2: How important is Australia Are we on this White House's
Speaker 2: radar at the moment? We have the aucut subs deal, obviously,
Speaker 2: but how concerned are they about Australia just as a
Speaker 2: part of the US global alliance structure.
Speaker 13: Well, we're eight months into the Trump presidency and the
Speaker 13: Prime Minister has had four conversations with President Trump. That's
Speaker 13: pretty good. I believe that Australia plays a vital role
Speaker 13: in not only US trade policy, but policy towards China.
Speaker 13: And of course we have lessons to learn from Australia's
Speaker 13: chandling of migration issues. Britain, by the way, should pick
Speaker 13: up on some of those. And I believe Australia is
Speaker 13: in pretty good shape. The foreign leaders can't afford the
Speaker 13: luxury of Trump de rangement syndrome. They have a country
Speaker 13: to represent, they have people with vested interests. They aren't
Speaker 13: about frivolity or fads. They have to deal with who
Speaker 13: they are dealing with. And they don't have to like
Speaker 13: Donald Trump to work with him. And as long as
Speaker 13: they respect him, he will respect them back.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's a good message for our prime minister
Speaker 2: who maybe played a little bit fast with the TDS
Speaker 2: for his own domestic base. But that's another story. Hey,
Speaker 2: before I let you go, John two. Just speaking of
Speaker 2: presidential health, there was this crazy rumor last weekend. It
Speaker 2: was the holiday long weekend, after Trump hadn't been seen
Speaker 2: for a couple of days. There were all these crazy
Speaker 2: conspiracies since the president had passed away.
Speaker 1: He was asked about this. Listen to this.
Speaker 3: You know I have heard it's sort of crazy. But
Speaker 3: last week I did numerous news conferences, all successful. They
Speaker 3: went very well, like this is going very well. And
Speaker 3: then I didn't do any for two days and they
Speaker 3: said there must be.
Speaker 1: Something wrong with him. Biden wouldn't do him for months.
Speaker 3: You wouldn't see him, and nobody ever said there was
Speaker 3: ever anything wrong with him, and we know he wasn't
Speaker 3: in the greatest of shape.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but at the same time, though Tim Waltz remember him,
Speaker 2: he could have been the vice president with Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Well, he had this to say.
Speaker 8: You get up in the morning and you doom scroll
Speaker 8: through things. And although I will say this, the last
Speaker 8: few days.
Speaker 13: You woke up thinking there might be news, just saying,
Speaker 13: just saying the news sometime.
Speaker 1: Just so you know, there will be news. That's pretty
Speaker 1: ghoulish and bad taste, isn't it.
Speaker 13: Look, let's be very clear, Tim Waltz is not a governor.
Speaker 13: He's a cartoon character. You remember Elmer Fudd in the
Speaker 13: Yes Funny cartoons. Yes, that man is Elmer Fudd. And
Speaker 13: he's just as stupid and completely incoherent as Elmer Fudd
Speaker 13: was in those looney tunes. And in fact, Tim Waltz
Speaker 13: is a looney.
Speaker 2: To be very very quiet, John, we're hunting webbits. Thank
Speaker 2: you so much for your time, John fund As always,
Speaker 2: thank you well to more of this week's headlines. Now,
Speaker 2: this week we saw China hosted its largest ever military parade,
Speaker 2: with guests of honor including Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong Un,
Speaker 2: and of course Dan Andrews.
Speaker 1: Well.
Speaker 2: Donald Trump had a lot to say about this, And
Speaker 2: I'm going to break this down with the author of,
Speaker 2: among other things, Blood Money, Why the powerful attorney blind
Speaker 2: Eye while China kills Americans? And he's also the president
Speaker 2: of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Schweitzer. Peter, thanks so
Speaker 2: much for joining me here. Donald Trump reacted this big
Speaker 2: parade on true social saying, May President g and the
Speaker 2: wonderful people of China have a great and lasting day
Speaker 2: of celebration. Please give my words regards to Vladimir Putin
Speaker 2: and Kim Jong Un as you conspire against the United
Speaker 2: States of America. Peter, he's not holding back his feelings
Speaker 2: on this, is he.
Speaker 9: No, he's not. And look, he's quite right. I mean,
Speaker 9: the only thing that really unifies Russia, the People's Republic
Speaker 9: of China, and North Korea is this hostility to the
Speaker 9: United States into the Western world, including Australia. That's what
Speaker 9: unites them. There are historical animosities. If you throw India
Speaker 9: in there with this new quasi alliance they're talking about,
Speaker 9: they have a long history of disliking each other. So
Speaker 9: that is the unifying principle. And what you saw demonstrated
Speaker 9: during this meeting was over hostility to the West in
Speaker 9: a desire to beat back the Western world so they
Speaker 9: can gain superiority on the world world, sit on the
Speaker 9: world stage.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Peter, I want to ask you about that question.
Speaker 2: You just mentioned India. A moment ago. People have been
Speaker 2: talking here a lot about oh, Trump has lost India
Speaker 2: because he puts sanctions on them. But it seems like
Speaker 2: Donald Trump has been put in a no win position
Speaker 2: here because either he lets India continue to on sell
Speaker 2: Russian oil and provide money to Moscow's call fers, or
Speaker 2: he tries to do something about it. But by the way,
Speaker 2: the press seems to have this as Trump loses. Tell
Speaker 2: us about that India Russia partnership.
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, that's a great point, an important point. Why
Speaker 9: did he impose these sanctions or these additional tariffs on India.
Speaker 9: It's because they are circumventing aggressively. And it's basically three
Speaker 9: or four wealthy companies in India owned by powerful families
Speaker 9: who are making a killing because they are taking Russian oil,
Speaker 9: they are processing it, and then they are selling it
Speaker 9: to Europe and other places around the world, totally undercutting
Speaker 9: our effort to UH put pressure on Russia for the
Speaker 9: Ukraine War. So at the same time that the foreign
Speaker 9: policy establishment decries what Russia is doing in Ukraine, and
Speaker 9: the rightfully so, Donald Trump's efforts to pressure Russia gets
Speaker 9: him criticized for pushing India away. I don't think India
Speaker 9: sees their future with Russia. I think they understand Russia's
Speaker 9: in declining power. They have historical animosity with China. They're
Speaker 9: they've been they've been shooting at each other along the border.
Speaker 9: So I don't think that this is something that's long term.
Speaker 9: This is an effort by India to try to FLEXUS muscles.
Speaker 9: But I don't think there's any serious alliance here involving
Speaker 9: these three, these three entities working against the United States.
Speaker 11: No.
Speaker 1: I think you're right, Peter.
Speaker 2: My mail is that India knows deep down that its
Speaker 2: future is with the United States and with the West.
Speaker 2: But they're just having a little bit of a chance here.
Speaker 2: But also though back to China, because you know, we've
Speaker 2: talked about China, and we've spoken on this program, you
Speaker 2: and I, Peter, about how China has been running its
Speaker 2: own sort of gray zone tactics against the United States.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that they've been doing for ages,
Speaker 2: in my opinion, has been to run kind of a
Speaker 2: reverse opium war on the United States through the Federal
Speaker 2: Trade Now, FBI Director Cashptal has announced that twenty two
Speaker 2: Chinese nationals for these final pharmaceutical companies and three Americans
Speaker 2: have been arrested in an unprecedented operation involving feanyl. Tell
Speaker 2: us about this and the broader trade that China has
Speaker 2: been engaged in here that, of course Donald Trump made
Speaker 2: such a big issue about when he first became president.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 9: No, I mean, here's what you have to understand about
Speaker 9: the fentanyl trade. It started with the Mexican drug cartels,
Speaker 9: because the drug cartels were introduced to the fedinyl trade
Speaker 9: by Chinese criminal gangs. And these are criminal gangs and
Speaker 9: so called triads that cooperate more closely with the CCP.
Speaker 9: In fact, some triad members are given senior positions in
Speaker 9: the Chinese Communists far And what China really started to
Speaker 9: do in twenty twelve was to equip the drug cartels
Speaker 9: in Mexico with how to produce fentanyls. So they provide
Speaker 9: the precursor chemicals they're shipped from China. They provide the
Speaker 9: pill presses that actually create the pills that are then
Speaker 9: smuggled across the border laced with fentanyl that are killing
Speaker 9: so many Americans. The US DEA, the Drug Enforcement Administration,
Speaker 9: says that there are at least two thousand Chinese chemists
Speaker 9: in northern Mexico that are helping the drug cartels create
Speaker 9: this deadly cocktail, and then to top it all off,
Speaker 9: the money laundering operation. It used to be that these
Speaker 9: Mexican drug cartels would launder their money in Latin American banks.
Speaker 9: That's what Pablo Escobar used to do.
Speaker 1: The Mexican drug.
Speaker 9: Cartels now use Chinese state owned banks, and they oftentimes
Speaker 9: use Chinese students in the United States on education visas
Speaker 9: to act as the mules, to transfer the money, to
Speaker 9: participate and to initiate the money laundering. So they are
Speaker 9: involved in every link in the chain. And this is
Speaker 9: really a Chinese operation. The drug cartels are the junior partners.
Speaker 9: And Donald Trump has been very clear he's going to
Speaker 9: the source on this, which is China. It's the reason
Speaker 9: he has a fentanyl tariff, it's the reason you saw
Speaker 9: the bust to the cash Buttell talked about, and I
Speaker 9: hope we see a lot of more of this because
Speaker 9: this is one of those gray zone tactics that they're
Speaker 9: using against the United States and they're also using against Australia.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Finally, Peter, and that's a great analysis here, because
Speaker 2: I don't think people see it all in all of
Speaker 2: those different puzzle pieces. Put together like that. But finally, Peter,
Speaker 2: I just want to ask you one last thing here.
Speaker 2: The Democrats and their pals of the media, they are
Speaker 2: still in total miltdown mooad over Donald Trump. After his
Speaker 2: crackdown on crime, which is now working. They're saying they
Speaker 2: believe he's going to cancel elections. Peter, I mean, how
Speaker 2: do we even cope with this level of Bunker's news
Speaker 2: if that's a.
Speaker 9: Word, Yeah, you can't. And here's the thing. What these people,
Speaker 9: I don't think realize is that people actually do have memories.
Speaker 9: I mean, remember we were hearing predictions if Donald Trump
Speaker 9: became president, he was going to be shooting Democrats in
Speaker 9: the street. People will buy some of this crazy hysteria
Speaker 9: if they're not well informed initially, but when they keep
Speaker 9: hearing it month after month after month, it becomes exhausting
Speaker 9: and it also completely totally undermines their credibility. And what
Speaker 9: they don't realize is they have trashed their credibility and
Speaker 9: you don't get it back by just continuing to pop off.
Speaker 9: I think Democrats should be looking for an agenda to
Speaker 9: counter Trump. It needs to be more centrist than it's
Speaker 9: been in the past, and they need to stop with
Speaker 9: the sort of ridiculous over the top predictions. Someone should
Speaker 9: compile a list of all these predictions and remind people repeatedly,
Speaker 9: and it's going to lead us to all wonder why
Speaker 9: on earth are we even listening to these people.
Speaker 2: Hey, Pete, you've just gonna be a great idea for
Speaker 2: what to do on next week's program. Peter, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: have to leave the other Thank you so much for
Speaker 2: your time. Really appreciate the analysis, but don't go anywhere
Speaker 2: because after the break, Emma Joe Morris joins me, and
Speaker 2: you're not going to want to miss what she has
Speaker 2: to say. But first Team Biden is still out there
Speaker 2: with the fake news. Yep, check this out.
Speaker 1: None other than for Biden.
Speaker 2: White House spokeswoman Jen Saki has been out throwing shade
Speaker 2: on Donald Trump's health.
Speaker 14: We went from Trump's saying he hadn't heard about the
Speaker 14: rumors of his death, through Trump's saying he did hear
Speaker 14: about them from reports, So then back to Trump saying
Speaker 14: he hadn't heard anything about any of it in the
Speaker 14: span of approximately sixty seconds in the Oval Office today.
Speaker 1: Really can't make this stuff up sometimes, and look, we.
Speaker 14: May never know by Donald Trump's suddenly spent a week
Speaker 14: hiding entirely from the American public. But you don't actually
Speaker 14: need baseless online conspiracies to explain why he might not
Speaker 14: want to show his face in public.
Speaker 1: Right now, I love it.
Speaker 2: I'm the houtspa, Joe Biden's chief flack accusing Trump. I'm
Speaker 2: a health cover up. Sorry, I don't think so. Stick
Speaker 2: around because Emma Joe Morris is next. Hey there, welcome
Speaker 2: back to the program. And in a moment, the great
Speaker 2: Emma Joe Morris joins me. But first, you do this
Speaker 2: job long enough and you see some pretty dumb stuff,
Speaker 2: particularly out of Congress. But what are we about to
Speaker 2: play for? You really takes the cake. Now, if you're
Speaker 2: watching this program, you probably know that what makes America different,
Speaker 2: what makes America special, even what makes America great, is
Speaker 2: this idea that the government gets its right to govern
Speaker 2: by the consent of the people and not the other
Speaker 2: way around, and that all of us are as human
Speaker 2: beings in possession of certain rights the government cannot take away. Now,
Speaker 2: this is basic Civics' what a one stuff, you would
Speaker 2: have thought, right, Well, somebody better tell Virginia Democrat. Of course,
Speaker 2: as a Democrat Senator Tim Caine.
Speaker 10: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
Speaker 10: come from the government, but come from the creator. That's
Speaker 10: what the Iranian government believes. It's a theocratic regime that
Speaker 10: bases its rule on Shia law and target Sunnies, Bahinds, Jews, Christians,
Speaker 10: and other religious minorities. And they do it because they
Speaker 10: believe that they understand what natural rights are from their creator.
Speaker 10: So the statement that our rights do not come from
Speaker 10: our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.
Speaker 2: Seriously, did you see what he just did there? He
Speaker 2: compared the founding fathers of the United States to the site.
Speaker 1: Mullahs in Iran.
Speaker 2: Well, I can't even begin to tell you what's wrong
Speaker 2: with that, but I'll just say that the answer to
Speaker 2: this problem lies right now. They're in the Declaration of Independence,
Speaker 2: which reads, we hold these truths to be self evident,
Speaker 2: that all men are created equal, and that they are
Speaker 2: endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among
Speaker 2: these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, And
Speaker 2: that to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men,
Speaker 2: deriving their just powers from Pay attention to this bit senator,
Speaker 2: the consent of the governed.
Speaker 1: How does someone get.
Speaker 2: Into the Senate not knowing this basic stuff, understanding it
Speaker 2: and thinking that the idea that our rights don't come
Speaker 2: from some pencil necked bureaucrat or politician, but instead that
Speaker 2: we are born with them, well, that that is some
Speaker 2: sort of Iranian theocracy. I'm sorry, but these are not
Speaker 2: serious people. Well, staying in Congress, it's been a busy
Speaker 2: week in Congress this week, with the Reform UK Party
Speaker 2: leader Naja Farage testifying at a committee hearing into whether
Speaker 2: the European laws threatened Americans free speech.
Speaker 15: Have a look, we've kind of forgotten the Vultairian principles
Speaker 15: that will fight and defend to the death. You're right
Speaker 15: to say something that we fundamentally disagree with. That is
Speaker 15: the absolute foundation, if you think about it, of free speech,
Speaker 15: of democracy, of living in freedom. It's kind of why
Speaker 15: we fought two World Wars. I come from a land
Speaker 15: that gave us. The Mother of Parliament said, it doesn't
Speaker 15: give me any great joy to be sitting in America
Speaker 15: and describing the really awful authoritarian situation that we have now.
Speaker 2: Well, for more on this, I am joined by a
Speaker 2: senior consultant at Becan Morris Beck and Stone. Emma Joe Morris,
Speaker 2: Emma Joe, thanks much for joining me here. There are
Speaker 2: wild scenes there, but it really gets to the heart
Speaker 2: of a big problem. The UK has gone down this
Speaker 2: crazy nineteen eighty four or Wellian road and it's not
Speaker 2: gone unnoticed in the US.
Speaker 16: Tell us about it, that's right, I mean, first of all,
Speaker 16: that's TIMI thank you, such so irrelevant, such a muppet.
Speaker 16: He couldn't even get straight what he was saying. Wrong,
Speaker 16: I'd like to just point out that it's called sharia
Speaker 16: law implemented by site Muslims in Iran.
Speaker 8: That he mixed up. He called it Shia law.
Speaker 16: So stupid, really so stupid, dangerously stupid, and it's hads
Speaker 16: stupidity frankly, and lack of respect for where our rights
Speaker 16: come from that lead you to become the UK and
Speaker 16: many countries in the Commonwealth.
Speaker 8: I know that.
Speaker 16: Australia has this problem too where I'm from in Canada,
Speaker 16: dangerously close to the UK as well, where there is
Speaker 16: no appreciation for the roots and traditions and cultures that
Speaker 16: have shaped the West and have and they've been That
Speaker 16: ignorance has allowed the supplanting of those values with this
Speaker 16: like totalitarian totalitarian political correctness. We're all of a sudden,
Speaker 16: we're not allowed to think less we offend someone.
Speaker 1: Well, Eva, Joe.
Speaker 2: It seems to me too that there's a big thing
Speaker 2: that's happening here too, because of course the US has
Speaker 2: that great, precious First Amendment. We don't have it in Australia,
Speaker 2: we don't have it in the UK. But it seems
Speaker 2: that part of the issue is that these countries that
Speaker 2: don't have free speech guaranteed are trying to regulate the
Speaker 2: Internet by controlling what is said in their countries and
Speaker 2: therefore going and regulating what's said in the United States
Speaker 2: through these social media platforms, and the US is pushing back.
Speaker 16: Yeah, well to your last comment, that's where America will
Speaker 16: really start to notice and you start bullying our biggest
Speaker 16: companies and our best innovators. That I think is where
Speaker 16: it goes from mocking you on Twitter and mocking you
Speaker 16: amongst ourselves to perhaps, you know, I don't know, because
Speaker 16: there is an orthodoxy from the Foreign Policy blog in
Speaker 16: the United States that the relationships we have with other
Speaker 16: countries in the West, like the UK, like Australia are
Speaker 16: are like biblical or sacred alliances. But that establishment and
Speaker 16: the people who hold those views that there's some beyond
Speaker 16: reproach relationship that cannot even be questioned. Those people are
Speaker 16: phasing out and that ideology is dying or that or
Speaker 16: that attitude. And you know, the people in America, first,
Speaker 16: the people who work in this administration, who work in
Speaker 16: Marco Rubio State Department.
Speaker 8: Are not necessarily of that belief.
Speaker 16: It's it's taken for granted, perhaps by a certain element
Speaker 16: of the foreign policy world. But is it is being
Speaker 16: observed and not only observed by the people in these
Speaker 16: kind of background policy.
Speaker 8: Jobs, but from himself.
Speaker 16: You know, what is he saying when he's talking about
Speaker 16: NATO and what exactly NATO does and why exactly is
Speaker 16: our countries in NATO.
Speaker 8: Buying oil from Russia.
Speaker 16: Not to digress too much, but what he's doing is
Speaker 16: that same thing, which is saying, are we taking these
Speaker 16: relationships and their sanctity for granted? Is it time to
Speaker 16: maybe take a second look at what our shared values are,
Speaker 16: where our shared interests are, whether every member of these
Speaker 16: alliances are serving those interests in those values. And I'm
Speaker 16: telling you now if they start trying to in some
Speaker 16: way sanction people like Meta, people like Google, people like Eggs,
Speaker 16: there's going to be problems.
Speaker 8: There are absolutely gonna be problems.
Speaker 16: And Trump has alluded to this already, let alone the
Speaker 16: next iteration of maga.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and I'm just waiting for Donald Trump to
Speaker 2: find out about the e Safety Commissioner that we have
Speaker 2: here in Australia. But Emma Joe, I also want to
Speaker 2: ask you too about other stuff going ont of the hill,
Speaker 2: because we also had Health and Human Services Secretary RFK
Speaker 2: Junior having a big fight over his make America Healthy
Speaker 2: Again agenda and he pulled no punches. Have a little
Speaker 2: look at him douging it out with wanna be Native
Speaker 2: American Elizabeth Warren Kennedy.
Speaker 9: I never promised that I was going to recommend products
Speaker 9: with which.
Speaker 1: There is no real occasion.
Speaker 9: What you said, and I know you've taken eight hundred
Speaker 9: and fifty five dollars from Pharmaceutic Books Company C.
Speaker 2: Well, he pulled no punches and accused basically everybody in
Speaker 2: the room of being on the take from big pharma here.
Speaker 2: But tell us more about what happened here and what
Speaker 2: we learned from these hearings about the way the health
Speaker 2: bureaucracy has been operating for so many years.
Speaker 8: Yeah, he's so good. He is just so good.
Speaker 16: And the thing that is so great about him is,
Speaker 16: you know, people will try to make these cheap kind
Speaker 16: of straw man arguments and attacks against his supporters, like, oh,
Speaker 16: you know, he he doesn't have the right information about
Speaker 16: this vaccine, or he doesn't have any proof for that claim.
Speaker 8: That's not what this is about.
Speaker 16: What he is about and what he represents, and why
Speaker 16: he's so strong in these settings is because he is
Speaker 16: only just asking questions about our assumptions from the health establishment,
Speaker 16: from the health bureaucracy. He's only pointing out and refuses
Speaker 16: to go along with the lie that there has been
Speaker 16: drastic changes in the health of Americans.
Speaker 8: Especially in children, that nobody is allowed to ask about it.
Speaker 16: And what you're seeing from in my opinion aggressive and
Speaker 16: hostile questions from these senators is people who are just
Speaker 16: outraged at the blasphemy of questioning the pharmaceutical industry, the
Speaker 16: health bureaucracy, the CDC. And I'm sorry, but we are
Speaker 16: being gas lit in America, and I'm sure this is.
Speaker 8: Going on in Australia too. I know it's going on
Speaker 8: in Canada as well.
Speaker 16: You're being gas lit by these people who are claiming
Speaker 16: that there is nothing to see when you see disease
Speaker 16: rates going up, cancer rates going up, obesity going up,
Speaker 16: the food we know that the efficacy has or let's say,
Speaker 16: the format and form of vaccine's history.
Speaker 8: Not want to ask about that, but you can.
Speaker 16: Inject your kids with puberty blockers and that doesn't get
Speaker 16: any vitriol from Elizabeth Warren.
Speaker 2: Absolutely right, Emma Joe Morris, gonna have to leave it there,
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. But I love what you said
Speaker 2: about blasphemy because I think for so many people what
Speaker 2: we call the science has turned into a religion. Emma
Speaker 2: Joe Morris, thank you again for your time. Now, don't
Speaker 2: go anywhere because we're gonna have a short break. But
Speaker 2: Alex Stein joins me next. But before we knew that, well,
Speaker 2: you've heard Trump compared to Hitler. But Maryland Democrat Jamie
Speaker 2: Raskin has just given it an upgrade or a downgrade,
Speaker 2: depending on how you look at it.
Speaker 9: When private comments made by federal employees are scrutinized for
Speaker 9: anti Trump bias, and they can lose.
Speaker 13: Their jobs because of it. Then we've entered the realm
Speaker 13: not just of Vladimir Putin, but of Joseph Stalin.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that's right.
Speaker 2: Firing bureaucrats makes Trump Stalin. What's next people that say
Speaker 2: he's Genghis Khan or Mussolini? Alex Stein. After the break,
Speaker 2: welcome back to the program. Well let's bring in great
Speaker 2: friend of the show, comedian and commentator Primetime ninety nine,
Speaker 2: Alex Stein. Alex, thanks so much for joining me again
Speaker 2: here on the US Report.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: I know we often make with the funny stuff when
Speaker 2: you're on here on this program, but a.
Speaker 1: Little bit of a grim story here.
Speaker 2: Vice President j D Advances why visited the memorial of
Speaker 2: that horrific church shooting Minneapolis this week, which we spoke
Speaker 2: about on this program last week, and it was quite
Speaker 2: a moving and somber visit, but it was hijacked, of
Speaker 2: course by protesters.
Speaker 1: Have a look, Alex, how gulish can you get?
Speaker 12: I mean, James, that's just low class. And of course,
Speaker 12: you know people are going to take advantage of a
Speaker 12: terrible tragedy like this and try to politicize it and
Speaker 12: blame JD.
Speaker 2: Vance.
Speaker 12: But when in reality, it was Robin or excuse me,
Speaker 12: Robert Westman's parents, you know, basically telling him that he
Speaker 12: was born in the wrong body. So you know, obviously
Speaker 12: wasn't the parents' fault that he shot the gun. But
Speaker 12: the parents take a lot more responsibility than the vice
Speaker 12: president of the United States.
Speaker 1: But that's what these people do.
Speaker 12: They just basically are insensitive to the people that actually
Speaker 12: got hurt, and they want to try to demonize the
Speaker 12: vice president for literally going there and showing support at
Speaker 12: a Catholic church. So these people have no shame and
Speaker 12: they have no class.
Speaker 2: Well, this was the same sort of thing we saw
Speaker 2: after that shooting, when you saw people like, you know,
Speaker 2: the mayor of Minneapolis say, oh, you know, well, you
Speaker 2: know these people, he shouldn't be doing thoughts and prayers
Speaker 2: and all of that. This was the same guy who
Speaker 2: of course knelt at the coulfin of George Floyd after
Speaker 2: he was killed.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I know, how ridiculous was that when he said,
Speaker 12: Jacob Fray, the mayor of Minneapolis, that well, thoughts and
Speaker 12: prayers don't work because this happened at a church. I mean,
Speaker 12: obviously this shooter did it at a church to try
Speaker 12: to you know, demonize Christians, to try to demonize Catholic people.
Speaker 12: So it's just sad that Jacob Prey would actually side
Speaker 12: with the shooter in this instance. And you know, he
Speaker 12: has no class, just like the protesters, you know, yell
Speaker 12: the Jdvans. It's really a sad reality that we live
Speaker 12: in that children can literally die and they want to
Speaker 12: turn it into a political, you know, messaging moment. It's
Speaker 12: absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 1: I'm ashamed just on this story. Though.
Speaker 2: There is a media angle to this too, because it's
Speaker 2: a birds that NBC are good friends. They have issued
Speaker 2: a formal correction to its stories detailing the Minneapolis shooting
Speaker 2: because writers used the wrong pronouns. Now, I mean, seriously,
Speaker 2: if you're more concerned about pronouns than a bunch of
Speaker 2: dead kids, I don't know where to start.
Speaker 12: No, James, You're exactly right. They do care more about
Speaker 12: misgendering a person that murdered children that were praying at
Speaker 12: a Catholic mass. They feel more guilt about calling this
Speaker 12: person Robert instead of their fake name Robin. And that's
Speaker 12: the state of the American media.
Speaker 8: James.
Speaker 12: And I know you covered this all the time, but
Speaker 12: think about that. I mean, they have to issue a
Speaker 12: correction because they want to be respectful to a person
Speaker 12: that murdered an eight and ten year old defenses while
Speaker 12: praying at a church. It's absolutely sick and we shouldn't
Speaker 12: show any respect to a murderer like Robert Westman in
Speaker 12: my opinion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, as you say, it's the other
Speaker 2: side of the First Amendment there. But you know, they
Speaker 2: reveal themselves by their actions. Hey, finally, Alex, there was
Speaker 2: a story here that Donald Trump's scripp Kamala Harrison was
Speaker 2: Secret Service protection. But it turns out really that then
Speaker 2: strip it. It just expired, as it does for all
Speaker 2: former vice presidents. But a new report has revealed that
Speaker 2: the LAPD, because they've got nothing else to do, has
Speaker 2: now been tasked with being security for the former US
Speaker 2: Vice president, Alex, Los Angeles has a few problems, California
Speaker 2: has any problems. Do they really need to be providing
Speaker 2: private security to Kamala Harris?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think so.
Speaker 12: And she lives in Brentwood, one of the nicest neighborhoods
Speaker 12: in Los Angeles, saying yes. Oj Simpson allegedly did a
Speaker 12: double homicide in that same neighborhood of Brentwood. But I
Speaker 12: don't think she has to worry about OJ Simpson knocking
Speaker 12: on her door, considering you know, he's passed on. So listen,
Speaker 12: she wants to use these resources that America can provider,
Speaker 12: wance those resources expire, she has to hire a private security.
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
Speaker 12: And I don't want anything to happen to the former
Speaker 12: Vice president, of course not. But that's just how the
Speaker 12: kookie crumbles. I mean, she needs to pay for her
Speaker 12: own security, and she'll be fine. A lot of you know,
Speaker 12: famous people have to do that. She's a famous personnel.
Speaker 12: She's no longer a politician. If she runs for governor,
Speaker 12: if she runs for some other office, and maybe she
Speaker 12: can get some sort of necessary security paid for by
Speaker 12: the government. But at this point, I think she should
Speaker 12: be on her own. What does she spend a billion
Speaker 12: dollars on her campaign and it was one hundred million
Speaker 12: dollars in debt. Use some of that money to protect you, Camela,
Speaker 12: And you're in Brentwood. You don't have anything to worry about.
Speaker 2: Hey, man, Alex, Hey, before I let you go here,
Speaker 2: this was a really funny one. Here, Joy Reid, we've
Speaker 2: played her so many times on this program ex MSNBC.
Speaker 2: You know, the left always loves to say, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: you people are the right, you're the conspiracy theorists. Well,
Speaker 2: listen to this.
Speaker 16: He's got these magical doctors who claimed that he was
Speaker 16: shot in the ear, but his ear I guess, grew back.
Speaker 8: He had a du blow bandage on one minute, no
Speaker 8: bandage the next.
Speaker 16: We can't get a medical record from this alleged assassination
Speaker 16: he was supposed he shot.
Speaker 8: We have nothing, We've got none.
Speaker 9: Where's the nextative?
Speaker 1: Where the investigative records?
Speaker 9: One day he said his Maxi pad on his ear.
Speaker 9: The next day the ear is totally fine.
Speaker 2: So now they've gone from you know, the grassy nool too.
Speaker 2: There was no shooter at all or something, I guess,
Speaker 2: although that doesn't explain what happened to Corey Comparatore.
Speaker 1: This is this is this is crazy.
Speaker 12: Well, James is not surprising, so obviously we know QAnon
Speaker 12: is crazy. But even more crazy than QAnon is bleuing
Speaker 12: on and that people like Jory Reid is all of
Speaker 12: a sudden now a tinfoil hat carrying conspiracy theorists, which
Speaker 12: is ridiculous Joey Reid, I wish you were asking questions
Speaker 12: like this during the pandemic, when you were telling everybody
Speaker 12: to shut down their business and in their livelihoods in
Speaker 12: order to stop hers from getting a virus that had
Speaker 12: a ninety nine percent survival rate. So I wish you
Speaker 12: would have been a conspiracy theorist about four years ago
Speaker 12: and not about you know, Donald Trump fake getting shot
Speaker 12: when in reality, just like you said, people died. I mean,
Speaker 12: they didn't fake his death. So it's just like the
Speaker 12: protesters in Minneapolis. Jory Reid is another desperate political pundit
Speaker 12: that has no shame and is willing to say whatever
Speaker 12: she can to get clicks. And you know, I can't
Speaker 12: falter for that because I'm in a similar business. But
Speaker 12: he's just crazy. She's a crazy. It's crazy for Coco
Speaker 12: plus one hundred percent right now, James.
Speaker 2: Well, Alex, I'll just say that on our side, it
Speaker 2: seems that the conspiracy theories very often wind up turning
Speaker 2: into coming attractions. Alex, thank you so much of your time.
Speaker 2: As always stick around because only in America is next.
Speaker 2: But hey, remember cracker barrel. Well, there's still a little
Speaker 2: more juice in that orange at least in the trumpet
Speaker 2: meme team. Ah, the old logo's back. Well, there you go,
Speaker 2: Only in America after the break, Welcome back to the program.
Speaker 2: And now it's time for a little segment we like
Speaker 2: to call Only in America. Well this week on Only
Speaker 2: in America, our friend the crack Cracker barrel Guy winds
Speaker 2: up at the support group for canceled Mascots courtesy of
Speaker 2: our friends at the Babylon b.
Speaker 16: Thank you for attending this meeting of canceled mascots. I'd
Speaker 16: like to welcome our first white member.
Speaker 6: So they're not just can't minority mascots anymore.
Speaker 13: They're coming for all of us.
Speaker 8: Since you're new, tell us your story.
Speaker 6: Well, I was just minding my business, sitting next to
Speaker 6: a barrel looking folksy and this white lady, yep, always
Speaker 6: a white lady.
Speaker 9: A white lady said I'm racist.
Speaker 13: I mean, how how so?
Speaker 6: As I was telling y'all, this white lady says, I'm
Speaker 6: just not connecting with the younger folk these days.
Speaker 13: It's those millennials. They ruin everything.
Speaker 2: But wait, there's a happy ending this time, and we
Speaker 2: finally get to find out what was in that a barrel?
Speaker 6: Did that barrel just move what Oh, that's just dandy.
Speaker 6: The public has demanded me back, so long, losers. It's
Speaker 6: time for me and my barrel to go back to
Speaker 6: imprisoning the souls.
Speaker 13: Of the innocent.
Speaker 1: That's nice.
Speaker 8: Maybe there's hope for all of us.
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't see that one coming. Great weekend, Bye bye,
