Speaker 1: Welcome to today's podcast sponsored by Hillsdale College, All Things

Speaker 1: of course I listen to the Hillsdale dialogues, all of
Speaker 1: them at HUE for Hillsdale dot com or just Google, Apple,
Speaker 1: iTunes and Hillsdale one hundred.
Speaker 2: Men.
Speaker 3: We'll test today little Tree.
Speaker 2: When the green Blue ray.
Speaker 3: Welcome back to here Hue Show. I guess Ho's Kurt Schlickter.
Speaker 3: Our next guest is Jim Hanson, President of World strat
Speaker 3: Middle East Forum Chief Strategists. Follow him at Jim Hanson
Speaker 3: d C. And, as you might guess from staffs, Sergent
Speaker 3: Barry Sandler's famous tune he used to be a Green Beret.
Speaker 3: He's Jim.
Speaker 4: How you doing?
Speaker 3: I am well?
Speaker 2: How about yourself?
Speaker 5: Kurt?
Speaker 3: I love the power of technology that lets you transmit
Speaker 3: on video from the back of your luxurious camper which
Speaker 3: has been parked in my front yard before. Do you
Speaker 3: have this?
Speaker 2: It's a blessing.
Speaker 3: I have the cats.
Speaker 2: They are part of the scenery.
Speaker 3: Yeah, guys, they are incredible cats. And why we are
Speaker 3: talking about immigrants today in part these cats are safe
Speaker 3: from being eaten because, take my word for it, you
Speaker 3: do not want to You do not want to make
Speaker 3: a play to make lunch out of one of Jim's cats.
Speaker 6: You just know.
Speaker 2: Sam Samantha would be the one who might take the.
Speaker 3: Person who tried that out. And of course Samantha is
Speaker 3: the young paratrooper, has more jumps than I do. But
Speaker 3: then again, because of everybody. But anyway, Jim, I just
Speaker 3: wanted to ask, when are you and I going to
Speaker 3: start our daycare center?
Speaker 7: I was telling Dwayne in the break, I've got my
Speaker 7: random name generator doing spreadsheet and spreadsheet of kids'.
Speaker 2: Names, you know, and I'm just and at this point
Speaker 2: you could use just scrabble.
Speaker 7: Words because I don't think they have it even be English,
Speaker 7: you know, it just random collections of five and eight
Speaker 7: word you know, collections of nothing.
Speaker 3: Well, look, you and I both served in the federal
Speaker 3: government in a military capacity. How surprised are you that
Speaker 3: the federal government has screwed up so massively?
Speaker 2: I am absolutely unstunned.
Speaker 7: And I think the horrifying thing is, you know people
Speaker 7: were talking about, is Doze making this stuff up? You know,
Speaker 7: they're saying, oh, we found billions, billions, billions everywhere they looked,
Speaker 7: you know, they found billions of dollars missing, and Doze
Speaker 7: was barely covering the ash tray change of the great
Speaker 7: corruption that's been going on. But think about this, the
Speaker 7: budget will probade balance itself. If whoever catch all these scumbags.
Speaker 3: Well that would be nice. Now, I specifically said the
Speaker 3: federal government was screwing up. I did not say that
Speaker 3: the state of Michigan has screwed up, because I don't
Speaker 3: think they screwed up. I think this is a feature,
Speaker 3: not a bug in their eyes.
Speaker 7: Oh and and remember Minnesota to Tim Waltz, that guy
Speaker 7: posts solen valor poser. You know, he's done everything and
Speaker 7: though he may have given away going to classified information
Speaker 7: on a nuclear capable Howitzer to the chacoms.
Speaker 2: One of his money visits there. I think you're absolutely.
Speaker 7: Right that there was a plan to take government money,
Speaker 7: funnel it through NGOs, and send it right back to
Speaker 7: Democrat causes and candidates. And that again may be a
Speaker 7: blessing as we stop that we may be able to
Speaker 7: have fair elections.
Speaker 3: Well I'm not going to hold my breath about the
Speaker 3: potential for fair elections. I just don't think that's in
Speaker 3: the cards anytime soon. But you've got to wonder if
Speaker 3: they can't manage things like, you know, not losing nine
Speaker 3: billion dollars, how are they guaranteeing the elections are fair?
Speaker 3: And do they actually want to have elections? My guess
Speaker 3: is they don't.
Speaker 7: No. I think the fun part of this Okay, Act
Speaker 7: Blue was the big Democrat machine for taking money in
Speaker 7: and funneling get the candidates.
Speaker 2: And now they found out that.
Speaker 7: Those guys weren't even checking credit cards to make sure
Speaker 7: they were valid, So.
Speaker 2: We know they were funneling foreign money.
Speaker 7: We know they were illegally giving more money to multiple
Speaker 7: candidates than they were allowed to by making up straw donors.
Speaker 2: And then they were using the entire.
Speaker 7: Federal government and all of our tax money as the
Speaker 7: big funnel at the top to push that into So
Speaker 7: I love unraveling this. I think it's perfect. I think
Speaker 7: it's a great way for us to move into the
Speaker 7: new Golden age is let's stop the old corrupt Democrat
Speaker 7: money machine age.
Speaker 3: Well, look, you and I in the military are both
Speaker 3: taught to seek out the enemy's weak point, and I
Speaker 3: think we may have stumbled on it, which is the
Speaker 3: massive funding through direct corruption and just access spending of
Speaker 3: the entire left through the federal government. I mean, this
Speaker 3: is a giant payoff to the Democrat party. They are
Speaker 3: locking down the Somali community vote, which will have being
Speaker 3: like ninety nine percent Democrat and they have no and
Speaker 3: since most of its federal money. Once I hell to
Speaker 3: the people the Democrats in Minnesota care, they don't.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 7: And the thing is, there's two things about that that
Speaker 7: are outrageous.
Speaker 2: Number One, Somalia has been either the number one or.
Speaker 7: Number two most corrupt country since anybody's been keeping track
Speaker 7: of this stuff.
Speaker 2: So importing large groups and.
Speaker 7: Then don't spread them out, no, put eighty thousand of
Speaker 7: them in one small place so they can form their
Speaker 7: own corruptocrat state right there, and then have weak Democrats
Speaker 7: who are both scared of them and also enabling them
Speaker 7: to allow that to get worse, and then allow that
Speaker 7: to be the model they've used in every other place
Speaker 7: where Democrats have control. Is they look at the government
Speaker 7: as a piggy bank for their stuff. And we are
Speaker 7: now on the cusp of shutting a bunch of that down,
Speaker 7: and we just absolutely have to throw some people in
Speaker 7: prison over this, and let's just hope.
Speaker 2: You know, I have faith. I think we're going to
Speaker 2: see that.
Speaker 3: Well, I hope so too. I understand the fence a
Speaker 3: wandering around the Somali community. And you got to understand
Speaker 3: when you say that Somalia is the most corrupt country
Speaker 3: in the world, this is a globe that includes Nigeria
Speaker 3: and Ukraine, right, I.
Speaker 2: Mean, it's impressive.
Speaker 7: The only people they got passed by South Sudan recently,
Speaker 7: so they were only number two out of one year
Speaker 7: run at number one.
Speaker 2: I know, I know, but you got to look at that.
Speaker 7: And now as we look at if we are going
Speaker 7: to allow any immigrants in at all, I think it's
Speaker 7: fair to say the bottom ten to twenty most corrupt
Speaker 7: countries on Earth don't qualify for any visa's refugee status,
Speaker 7: none of it.
Speaker 2: Nobody from those countries comes in because.
Speaker 7: Their entire culture is built around corruption, theft, stealing and
Speaker 7: tribal beefs.
Speaker 2: We don't need to import that. That's just stupid.
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think before people vote on immigration numbers
Speaker 3: for any sech groups, they be forced to watch Blackhawk down.
Speaker 7: You know, there was this Somali guy who was making
Speaker 7: a TikTok and he's like, Oh, you beef with one Somali,
Speaker 7: you beef with all the Somalies. I'm like, dude, did
Speaker 7: you do the math on the Battle of Mogadishu, which
Speaker 7: was Blackhawk Down? Because we lost eighteen kias and we
Speaker 7: stopped counting at a thousand Somali dead. So if you
Speaker 7: want to play that game in Minneapolis, the Battle of
Speaker 7: Minneapolis will not go your way. There's a lot of
Speaker 7: hunters there who will make your life miserable.
Speaker 3: Well, what people don't remember about Blackhawk Down is why
Speaker 3: they brought Michael Durant back to the Americans so quickly,
Speaker 3: because the American said, we're coming to get him, and
Speaker 3: we're coming. We're coming air, sea, and land, and not
Speaker 3: their power for some holy people. The fact is this
Speaker 3: is great for conservatives because it fully discredits the welfare
Speaker 3: state and it fully discredits the immigration paradigm. How do
Speaker 3: you think this is going to play out over the
Speaker 3: next six months. We got about our next twelve months
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty six, we got about thirty seconds.
Speaker 7: Look, dude, the the inflation numbers and the GDP numbers
Speaker 7: say Trump was right about the economy.
Speaker 2: Yep, tariffs didn't kill us. He's bringing business home.
Speaker 7: The people going back to work, government workers are going home,
Speaker 7: and employable US citizens, not immigrants, are getting jobs. That's
Speaker 7: going to play out, and that's going to remind people
Speaker 7: to stop bringing in the rest of the Third world,
Speaker 7: employ our own people, and manufacture in the US the
Speaker 7: winning cause.
Speaker 3: Ah from your mouth to God's here. I'm Kirt Schlector,
Speaker 3: guest host for the Great Hugh Hewittt. Stick around. We
Speaker 3: got a lot more. Thing I love when I guesses
Speaker 3: for Hugh Hewittt is I get to bring on interesting people.
Speaker 3: And now I'm bringing you one of my favorites from
Speaker 3: this world because he's a really cool guy. Loves uh,
Speaker 3: loves zangku chicken, and he can't doubt anybody who loves
Speaker 3: Zanku chicken. He's also always interesting. His name is Michael Malice.
Speaker 3: He's an author. His most recent book is The White Pill,
Speaker 3: A Tale of Good and Evil, and he is the
Speaker 3: host of the Your Welcome podcast Why Oh You Are,
Speaker 3: a podcast that I play on repeat during my drives
Speaker 3: between Los Angeles and California with my lovely bride, who
Speaker 3: also adores Michael Malice. Michael, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6: Well, Kurt, as a fellow author, you know, the word
Speaker 6: interesting is always a euphemism for something bad.
Speaker 8: Not me.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm very linear. I'm the most I'm the most
Speaker 3: straight edged guy in the world. You, on the other hand,
Speaker 3: you are kind of a You're not a conservative, you're
Speaker 3: not a right winger, You're just sort of a You're
Speaker 3: sort of an imp. You you spread chaos and joy,
Speaker 3: and you identify as an anarchist, And I'm wondering, as
Speaker 3: an anarchist, are you strutting around like the cock of
Speaker 3: a walk watching the government humiliate itself?
Speaker 6: Is no, because I would be if the government humiliation
Speaker 6: led more people to be skeptical of government.
Speaker 9: But I feel like we're taking a very dark.
Speaker 6: Turn in America, and not to mention, what's the world
Speaker 6: where people are much more comfortable with totalitarianism and authoritarianism.
Speaker 6: So I think this idea a lot of us had
Speaker 6: during COVID that people are waking up.
Speaker 9: Well, there's a very low ceiling and how many people
Speaker 9: are going to wake up?
Speaker 6: And I'm seeing what's happening in Minnesota, I'm seeing what's happening.
Speaker 9: In the UK.
Speaker 6: It's it's it's I'm not striding around at all.
Speaker 3: Well, I would think, and again I'm a linear guy.
Speaker 3: I would think that watching the government demonstrate it's apps ineptitude,
Speaker 3: if not active malice. If you're pardon the expression, by
Speaker 3: importing a bunch of third worlders who have no intention
Speaker 3: of assimilating into society, and I'm pro immigrant, you are
Speaker 3: an immigrant, if I remember correctly, and then looting the
Speaker 3: public troth, I would think that people would look at
Speaker 3: that and go, you know, maybe I ought to rethink
Speaker 3: some of my preconceived notions. Are you saying that they're
Speaker 3: digging in?
Speaker 4: Yes?
Speaker 9: Of course.
Speaker 6: Do you really think that if Tim Waltz went for
Speaker 6: reelection today, he wouldn't win. Keith Ellison is much worse
Speaker 6: than him. You know, there were all those charges against him,
Speaker 6: not legal charges, but political claims against him by his
Speaker 6: ex wife and so on and so forth.
Speaker 9: He got elected.
Speaker 6: So I don't think people, if you look at Kevin Newsom,
Speaker 6: he couldn't get recalled.
Speaker 9: He got re elected. He's got to high approval ratings.
Speaker 9: People don't learn.
Speaker 6: People are much more interested in narratives than in truth.
Speaker 6: And if they're being told the choice is between being
Speaker 6: like a white supremacist and evil.
Speaker 9: You want to kill Grandma, and I'm.
Speaker 6: A friendly neighbor. Of course you're going to pick a
Speaker 6: friendly neighbor. So that's how the framing is being set forward.
Speaker 6: And of course they're doubling down. It's it's I don't
Speaker 6: see any evidence at all that Minnesota is becoming skeptical immigration.
Speaker 3: Uh let's let's let's cross the ocean for a second
Speaker 3: and look at Europe. You have the British people. The
Speaker 3: British government is arresting people for saying things. I literally
Speaker 3: went and defended Europe. I spent years there as a soldier,
Speaker 3: willing to die to stop the Soviet Union from overtaking
Speaker 3: these little democracies. And in in Germany, you know, you
Speaker 3: call a fat legislator fat, and you know the local
Speaker 3: Gestapo is going to start pounding on your door. What
Speaker 3: the hell do we make of that?
Speaker 6: It's a lot easier now to speak German than English
Speaker 6: in Britain, isn't it. Because if you're saying the wrong
Speaker 6: thing in English, you're gonna arrested. But I think if
Speaker 6: you say in German you're gonna get by.
Speaker 9: But the point is that people want this they're more
Speaker 9: than happy.
Speaker 6: There's no there's not even protests in this very kind
Speaker 6: of innocuous way. Let's have a march, or let's form
Speaker 6: some groups. And the only thing they had was they
Speaker 6: were putting up the flags. How much for people to
Speaker 6: realize it was a form of protests in the UK
Speaker 6: to put up the British flag, like how far can
Speaker 6: a country have fallen? We're putting your flag on your
Speaker 6: own property is seen as an emblem of defiance. It's
Speaker 6: almost impossible for us trapper heads around here in the
Speaker 6: US well.
Speaker 3: As my mother, who was the daughter of a Scottish
Speaker 3: immigrant said when she assessed Europe, all the good ones left,
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of them left, and I
Speaker 3: think a lot of them bled out on the Psalm,
Speaker 3: and I think a lot of them bled out in
Speaker 3: World War Two. And what you have left is a
Speaker 3: bunch of a bunch of slackers who are living to
Speaker 3: earn their pension. Maybe take a vacation to a visa
Speaker 3: once in a while and then focus on the Eurovision
Speaker 3: Song contest instead of you know, being real human beings.
Speaker 9: I had count Dankel on my show.
Speaker 6: He's a Scottish podcaster and he was telling me that
Speaker 6: the Scots don't teach Scottish pride in their schools and Scotland,
Speaker 6: which is a small area, and the amount of cultural
Speaker 6: impact the Scots have on the world enormous, insanely, just
Speaker 6: before shows enormous.
Speaker 9: You would think of all places.
Speaker 6: The Scots would be like, I'm proud of being Scottish
Speaker 6: and here's the receipts and they don't even have that.
Speaker 6: I can't wrap my head around it. In the same way,
Speaker 6: I was wondering how Canada, which is a very inhospitable
Speaker 6: environment built for frontiersmen and people who could have survived
Speaker 6: drug conditions, have now become a nation of sway beta coox.
Speaker 9: I don't know how this happened. Someone made the.
Speaker 6: Point that all the good ones were killed in the Wars,
Speaker 6: like you just kind of alluded to maybe there's something
Speaker 6: to that.
Speaker 9: But I find love. I used to love Canada.
Speaker 6: The Canada of today is to me recognizable of the
Speaker 6: Canada of the eighties.
Speaker 3: Yeah. The thing is, I do think there's room for hope.
Speaker 3: Donald Trump was reelected, and one of the things about
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is he kind of blew through all this nonsense.
Speaker 3: He is a flat out I love America. I love
Speaker 3: stuff about America. I want America big and bold and vulgar,
Speaker 3: and Americans should be big in bold and vulgar. And
Speaker 3: then you got you got outposts like Florida with you,
Speaker 3: got Ron DeSantis doing great things. Texas is coming along.
Speaker 3: Of course. I have a house out there now, and
Speaker 3: I know you're a resident. You DeCamp New York. Do
Speaker 3: you think there's hope.
Speaker 9: Oh, I think there's a lot of hope.
Speaker 6: But I don't think America is anything analogous to Canada
Speaker 6: or the UK. And I think if you look what
Speaker 6: happened Rodenham with what was happening to young girls for
Speaker 6: a long period of time by hundreds of men and
Speaker 6: with full knowledge of the authorities and the politicians, and.
Speaker 9: No one's doing anything about it.
Speaker 6: There's no one is, you know, taking what I would
Speaker 6: call direct action or things like that. To me unfathomable
Speaker 6: because I think Americans when they hear about there's lots
Speaker 6: of lines you can cross. But when you're talking about
Speaker 6: things being done to kids, it's like all right, time
Speaker 6: for conversations over like it's time to raise that black flag,
Speaker 6: and they're not even that upset. When I can't empathize
Speaker 6: with someone's thought process. I don't know what to say
Speaker 6: because the effectively alien to my thinking.
Speaker 3: I you know, you look at some of the things
Speaker 3: that they embrace. They tolerate the mass rape of children,
Speaker 3: which is what you're referring to in England. And it
Speaker 3: wasn't the seat.
Speaker 9: Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Speaker 6: It's not just that word. It's torture as well. Yes,
Speaker 6: they were being violated like baseball bats. They were beaten,
Speaker 6: they were drugged. It's even worse than what you just said,
Speaker 6: which you think is the worst thing.
Speaker 3: And then the mutilation of children to conform to the delusion,
Speaker 3: so they're munchials and mommies. There are people who and I,
Speaker 3: you know, I want to keep it. I don't want
Speaker 3: to scandalize people, but we need to say what it
Speaker 3: is castrating perfectly healthy boys to make them into a
Speaker 3: simul arkram of a girl when they are obviously not.
Speaker 3: This is caligular levels. Actually, I want to give Caligula more. Caligula,
Speaker 3: you know, who made his horse a console and tried
Speaker 3: to marry his sister, would be repelled and disgusted and
Speaker 3: send these guys to the coliseum to be consumed by lions.
Speaker 3: If they proposed this when you're not meeting Caligula's standards,
Speaker 3: ear civilization is well problematic.
Speaker 6: Well, I my understanding is the UK they've heavily pushed
Speaker 6: back on that thanks to old school feminists and.
Speaker 9: People like JK. Rowling.
Speaker 6: So at least the kids in this one area are
Speaker 6: safe from those kind of surgeries and medications and good.
Speaker 6: But what's insane to me is, Kurt, you and I
Speaker 6: both saw on social media for several years every conservative
Speaker 6: constantly twenty four to seven talking about this stuff with kids,
Speaker 6: and then Trump got elected and everyone just pretended he
Speaker 6: went away. It's still happening in Mendy States. Newsom is
Speaker 6: still bragging about in California, and I wish the conversation
Speaker 6: would go back to that.
Speaker 3: Well, Michael, we we've gotta we've gotta leave it there,
Speaker 3: But thank you for coming on. That's Michael Malice. Check
Speaker 3: out the Your Welcome podcast.
Speaker 4: It's great.
Speaker 3: We got a lot more to come. On The Hugh
Speaker 3: Hewitt Show, I'm guess host Kurt Schlickter, Stick around, go
Speaker 3: the Bow.
Speaker 9: It sounds hellas.
Speaker 3: We are back on the hu Huge Show. I'm guess
Speaker 3: host Kurt Schlichter. I promised Mike next guest Batcha on
Speaker 3: gar Saga star gon Uh News Nation host and writer.
Speaker 3: You you've seen her and heard her, and she's great.
Speaker 3: I promised her a terrific song to introduce her, and
Speaker 3: London Calling is not only one of my favorite tunes,
Speaker 3: it has to do with some of my questions. Batcha,
Speaker 3: Welcome to the Hugh Hewite Show.
Speaker 10: Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 3: What a great song? Say say excellent. I love to
Speaker 3: be validated. Kip is well, look and there's a there's
Speaker 3: some method behind my madness here, Batcha. You're prominently wearing
Speaker 3: a Star of David, but you would not be safe
Speaker 3: walking down the streets in London. You would not be
Speaker 3: safe necessarily walking down the streets in Sydney, and to
Speaker 3: America's shame, maybe not in the city of New York
Speaker 3: or other major cities. Is what is causing this disgraceful
Speaker 3: resurgence of the ancient prejudice of anti Semitism around the world,
Speaker 3: or at least around the West.
Speaker 10: Well, I do have to I think disagree a little bit.
Speaker 10: I live in New York. I walk around like this
Speaker 10: all the time. I always feel safe. I think it's
Speaker 10: a little bit of a smear on our homeland to
Speaker 10: suggest that we're in the same league as London or
Speaker 10: Europe or Australia. This country has always been very, very
Speaker 10: protective of Jews, and I believe it remains so. I
Speaker 10: think most of the online adjuta around my people is
Speaker 10: you know, manufactured by a few you know, very unimpressive
Speaker 10: accounts who have it turns out very international followings. So
Speaker 10: I really feel pretty strongly that America is still the
Speaker 10: homeland for the Jews who live here in a very
Speaker 10: strong way. Thank you for your service in protecting it
Speaker 10: and keeping it that way. And I do have to
Speaker 10: say I feel smug about it, Like I'm not just
Speaker 10: like I believe this, but I just feel smug about it,
Speaker 10: Like I look down on Europe for a lot of reasons,
Speaker 10: but this is top of the reasons.
Speaker 3: Well. Look, I look down on Europe too because I
Speaker 3: spent four years over there in the military, and I well,
Speaker 3: I appreciate you thanking me for my service. I was
Speaker 3: a colonel. I literally did nothing except drink coffee and
Speaker 3: run a heavily armed car watch. But it does make
Speaker 3: me happy Batcha to hear you say that you don't
Speaker 3: feel especially threatened in the United States because the impression
Speaker 3: I get watching the ugliness out on the streets, especially
Speaker 3: after October seventh, watching the ugliest among some who are
Speaker 3: allegedly on the right, and I'm not sure they're actually
Speaker 3: on the but I think they get left lumped over
Speaker 3: with us because they're not on the left. You know,
Speaker 3: I worry about my Jewish friends. I worry that somebody's
Speaker 3: going to try and hurt them, and I urge them
Speaker 3: to take advantage of are a wonderful second Amendment, which
Speaker 3: many of them have.
Speaker 10: I mean, I so appreciate hearing that.
Speaker 11: It means a lot.
Speaker 10: Of course, there has been a resurgence of anti Semitism
Speaker 10: among some of the influencers on the right. They make
Speaker 10: a lot of noise online, but I was very hardened
Speaker 10: by recent finding. There was a poll that found that
Speaker 10: the majority of Nick Fuentes, Candice Owens, and Tucker Carlson's
Speaker 10: audience is still pro Israel, meaning they're listening to them
Speaker 10: and it's like going in one year and coming out
Speaker 10: the other. And that just put a big smile on
Speaker 10: my face because that's my experience too. I think a
Speaker 10: lot of people who listen to this stuff. They listen
Speaker 10: to it because it's funny or amusing or, in you
Speaker 10: know Tucker's case, a legacy act. Perhaps you know something
Speaker 10: that they're using, But that doesn't mean that they're sort
Speaker 10: of listening to it and agreeing with it or getting
Speaker 10: their opinions from it. I think that what happened was
Speaker 10: the media got woke and left, and so this very
Speaker 10: you know, robust right wing online media sphere developed that
Speaker 10: didn't have the same sort of gatekeeping as the left
Speaker 10: wing media. But I think that the consumers know that.
Speaker 10: I think that when they read something or they hear
Speaker 10: something that they see on the internet, I think most
Speaker 10: Americans don't think, oh wow, that's true, that's terrible. I
Speaker 10: think most Americans think, oh wow, I wonder if that
Speaker 10: is true, because they're using their brains. Because this is
Speaker 10: the greatest country on earth, then they have great brains.
Speaker 10: So I feel like things are pretty much okay. I mean,
Speaker 10: I don't want to talk about the left. That's obviously
Speaker 10: like a mess and a disaster, but I think buying
Speaker 10: large the vast majority of Americans are still on our side.
Speaker 3: I had an article in town Hall today which was
Speaker 3: titled can you feel the vibe shift. And my contention
Speaker 3: is in the last few weeks, despite a few unfour starers,
Speaker 3: things have started turning back. Around six months ago, things
Speaker 3: are going great with the Trump administration, then it slowed down.
Speaker 3: I think it's inevitable that you have peaks and valleys,
Speaker 3: but I think they start picking up with the economic news,
Speaker 3: and I gotta tell you a botcha, I'm looking forward
Speaker 3: to twenty twenty six. I think our country is going
Speaker 3: to come roaring back, especially with our two hundred and
Speaker 3: fiftieth anniversary, with the economy kicking up, with the American
Speaker 3: military getting back to what it was. What do you
Speaker 3: think I am I off base about the vibe shift?
Speaker 10: Oh no, I totally agree. And as one of the
Speaker 10: very few people who was defending the tariffs fulsomely from
Speaker 10: day one, I feel really smug, like I feel some
Speaker 10: type of way about the fact that people called me
Speaker 10: a moron and low IQ and whatever.
Speaker 11: For a year.
Speaker 10: It turns out like, Wow, look at this economy and
Speaker 10: it's only getting better and better. So not only do
Speaker 10: I feel happy and excited for the country, but I
Speaker 10: feel happy and excited for myself because all my haters
Speaker 10: turned out to be wrong, and there are a few
Speaker 10: feelings that are that good.
Speaker 3: Well, look, I like lording it over people I've proven wrong. Occasionally,
Speaker 3: that happens, not very often. I think the terror thing's
Speaker 3: very interesting because I, you know, I had some questions
Speaker 3: about it, but I realized, particularly since I went to
Speaker 3: the War College and we talk about different elements of
Speaker 3: national power, that the terrors weren't purely economic power. It
Speaker 3: was American power across the spectrum to reset our relationships
Speaker 3: with the rest of the world. And if you look
Speaker 3: what's happening to NATO, we're resetting the post war relationships
Speaker 3: and there's trouble and back to London, calling in London,
Speaker 3: in Berlin and even Paris. Though the French or the French,
Speaker 3: I think a lot of these countries are a little
Speaker 3: stunned that the America is reevaluating its role, which is
Speaker 3: largely subsidizing them in treasure and blood that it's had
Speaker 3: for the last eighty years.
Speaker 10: Yeah, the Democrats are very, very worried that the rest
Speaker 10: of the world is not going to like us anymore.
Speaker 10: And it's so amazing to have an administration that's kind
Speaker 10: of like, yeah, that's the point. They were fleecing us
Speaker 10: and abusing us and taking advantage of us. And we
Speaker 10: were subsidizing all their craft, and we're not doing that anymore.
Speaker 10: We're subsidizing our craft.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 10: It's so amazing, And like that would have been good enough,
Speaker 10: you know, as the Jews say, like Diano, you know
Speaker 10: that would have been enough. But like he did that,
Speaker 10: and then every single one of those world leaders that
Speaker 10: the Democrats were like on their knees begging for approval
Speaker 10: from came and bent the need to Trump, right, like
Speaker 10: every single one of them came and begged him for crumbs.
Speaker 3: Well, look, if you've got power, you should use it.
Speaker 3: You should use it for good, which Donald Trump I
Speaker 3: think is doing. But you should use it. We're under
Speaker 3: no obligation to submit to our inferiors, our inferiors being
Speaker 3: everybody else I've courched selector thank you bout younger Sargon
Speaker 3: of news Nation. Stick around. We got a lot more
Speaker 3: to it. Just bring on interesting people with inside info.
Speaker 3: And no one's more interesting and inside than my next guest,
Speaker 3: who is the CEO of American Majority, My pal ned
Speaker 3: Ryan with a you Ned, welcome to you you it's.
Speaker 12: Right, Thanks Kurt. Good to be with you.
Speaker 3: Oh, by the way, you can see his book American
Speaker 3: Leviathan behind him. I strongly recommend you get that and
Speaker 3: read that. It is near my bed too, A very
Speaker 3: select group of books. So ned you talk to everybody,
Speaker 3: you know everybody. You're a mover and shaker in the
Speaker 3: deep dark background. Tell me what do you think's going
Speaker 3: to happen in twenty twenty six?
Speaker 12: Many wonderful and interesting things, Kurt.
Speaker 5: Now, I think twenty twenty six is going to be,
Speaker 5: especially about the midterms.
Speaker 12: It's going to be about three different things.
Speaker 5: I think in my mind at least three affordability and healthcare.
Speaker 5: And I've told Potus this, We're not going to win
Speaker 5: on running against socialism or foreign policy, even though I
Speaker 5: really like what he's doing on the foreign policy front
Speaker 5: and love the resurrection of the Monroe doctrine.
Speaker 12: It's going to be about affordability and healthcare. How are
Speaker 12: we going to make the lives of the American people better?
Speaker 5: A We're going to make their lives better on the front,
Speaker 5: grocery front, on gas front, all of these things that
Speaker 5: they'll be able to field in their pockets by the summer.
Speaker 12: And I like the trends. Kurt on this front, I
Speaker 12: like where we're headed.
Speaker 5: Obviously, they just upgraded the third quarter of this year
Speaker 5: up to four point three percent. I think the fourth
Speaker 5: quarter is going to probably be in that same neighborhood,
Speaker 5: and I think we're gonna have some really strong quarters
Speaker 5: in the first and second of twenty twenty six. I
Speaker 5: encourage him to keep on producing domestic oil. He's already
Speaker 5: increased our domestic production by about a million barrels a
Speaker 5: day since he came into office.
Speaker 12: Drives down costs, drives down cost of products, groceries, all
Speaker 12: of these things.
Speaker 5: The other thing, too, that is going to be critical
Speaker 5: for us in twenty six is Trump actually playing.
Speaker 12: A real role in getting his voters out.
Speaker 5: Kurt. I think there's a dynamic that people need to
Speaker 5: be aware of if you've been paying attention.
Speaker 12: We don't live in two thousand and four two.
Speaker 5: Thousand and eight, and with Republicans hope for low turnout
Speaker 5: and able to be able to win elections in the
Speaker 5: Trump era, has to be high turnout elections for Republicans
Speaker 5: to win, and the man that can bring them out
Speaker 5: is Donald Trump. He is, of course not on the ballot,
Speaker 5: but his agenda and his policies are, and he's already
Speaker 5: committed to obviously doing a series of rallies. I hope
Speaker 5: that he'll probably spend three to one hundred million from
Speaker 5: Maggot Inc. I think he's going to have to make
Speaker 5: that kind of investment. So Trump's gonna have to play
Speaker 5: a significant role in the midterms to bring his people
Speaker 5: to the polls to vote for Republicans, to make sure
Speaker 5: that his agenda continues down the right path. And the
Speaker 5: last thing I'll say is this, I think Republicans are
Speaker 5: going to have to commit to like we did in
Speaker 5: twenty four into increasing the absencey ballot universe and key
Speaker 5: congressional districts. We have to run up the numbers on
Speaker 5: voter registration. I think we've got a golden opportunity in
Speaker 5: a lot of different battleground states where they are overlapping
Speaker 5: with key house districts in twenty six that'll pay out
Speaker 5: from twenty eight. So you know, if you were to
Speaker 5: ask me right now the midterms were in January, I
Speaker 5: think we lose. But they're in November of next year,
Speaker 5: and I like the trends and I think we're going
Speaker 5: to be a pretty good spot. The last thing I'll say,
Speaker 5: is this the fourth one?
Speaker 12: I missed one?
Speaker 5: I think we're gonna win the redistricting battles by twelve
Speaker 5: thirteen seats, and I think people need to be watching
Speaker 5: in January to see what Scotus does with Louisiana versus
Speaker 5: Kalay decision. If they make it early enough in January,
Speaker 5: that could be six plus seats in addition to the ones.
Speaker 12: We went and redistricting.
Speaker 5: So I'm kind of bullish with the midterms in November.
Speaker 5: Thank god they're in November and not in January.
Speaker 3: Well, that's a lot to address, but let's let's stick
Speaker 3: with the last point redistricting. We saw what happened in Indiana.
Speaker 3: What the hell was that? And how can we put
Speaker 3: some vitamin T for testosterone into some of these some
Speaker 3: of these Republican eunuchs.
Speaker 12: It's shameful what happened Indiana. I really view them as
Speaker 12: traders to the party.
Speaker 5: Quite frankly, curtiphiles to continue down that path, traders to
Speaker 5: the Republic because they don't seem to understand what time
Speaker 5: it is. You're not dealing with your granddaddy's Democratic Party,
Speaker 5: dealing with a Marxist left in which I've said this
Speaker 5: many times.
Speaker 12: I'll say it again.
Speaker 5: The way that this end Kerts is we either submit
Speaker 5: to them or they submit to us. We rule them
Speaker 5: or they rule us. That's the only way this ends
Speaker 5: with the Marxist left. And for Republicans the state senators
Speaker 5: in Indiana to fail like they did is shameful. I
Speaker 5: hope every last one of them gets a primary challenge.
Speaker 5: I hope that they're actually all run of office. I
Speaker 5: think Cam Savage, the consultant that was behind it, I
Speaker 5: hope that he is blacklisted.
Speaker 12: In Republican circles.
Speaker 5: And even more so, I'm pretty sure that Todd Young,
Speaker 5: Republican center out of Indiana also, his fingerprints are somewhere
Speaker 5: in this whole mess in Indiana. I hope he gets
Speaker 5: a primary challenge in twenty twenty eight and Trump endorses
Speaker 5: that primary challenger.
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think it's important that as somebody crossed
Speaker 3: as you, you knock them on their fourth point of contact.
Speaker 3: I mean, net, do you agree with me that one
Speaker 3: of the main problems with the Republican Party now is
Speaker 3: so many of these politicians consult hangars on somehow managed
Speaker 3: to grow up never getting in a fist fight.
Speaker 5: I will say this the thing that I have noticed
Speaker 5: being in DC for the last man. It's crazy to
Speaker 5: say this twenty five years. Jeez, Republicans, I know inability
Speaker 5: to fight. I came when I was ten years old,
Speaker 5: just sort of clear, I'm still very young inability to fight.
Speaker 5: And they don't know what to do with political power
Speaker 5: when it's given to them. And this is the one
Speaker 5: thing where Donald Trump is such a refreshing figure in
Speaker 5: Republican politics because when he gets political power, he intends
Speaker 5: to use that political power, because that's why the American
Speaker 5: people gave him political power, is to actually use it.
Speaker 5: And too many Republicans in DC want to turn around
Speaker 5: the edges. They want to be in charge and have
Speaker 5: cool careers. Donald Trump, really, I do believe, wants to
Speaker 5: bring fundamental change to DC and wants to restore representative governments.
Speaker 5: And that's one of the reasons a lot of establishment
Speaker 5: Republicans hate him. First of all, he shames them, and two,
Speaker 5: they're not really interested in us restoring representative government. They're
Speaker 5: kind of they're pretty happy with the way things.
Speaker 12: Are right now.
Speaker 3: Well, look, I think afflicting the comfortable is something that
Speaker 3: we as a Republican activists should do. Let's let's look
Speaker 3: ahead to twenty twenty eight, because I want to pick
Speaker 3: your brain. It looks like a clear runway for JD. Vance.
Speaker 3: But as I'm going to write in town Hall soon,
Speaker 3: I love JD. Vance, which is why I want him
Speaker 3: to be in a hardcore primary fight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, yep, No, I think right now he's in the
Speaker 5: driver's seat. I think that's pretty obvious. I think the
Speaker 5: midterms are going to be a big, big test for
Speaker 5: him as well, though. I mean, he's the RNC finance chair,
Speaker 5: so is he going to be successful in raising the
Speaker 5: funds necessary for us to hold on to the House.
Speaker 5: Pretty confident about the Senate. If we lose a Senate,
Speaker 5: the House is going to be a total disaster. But
Speaker 5: you know it's JD go to be successful as the
Speaker 5: RNC finance chair. If he is, I think that really
Speaker 5: does set him up to be the front runner for
Speaker 5: the twenty twenty eight nomination. Again, let's also be honest
Speaker 5: about this. Curtis also the Trump sweepstakes. Whoever Trump endorses
Speaker 5: I think the clear cut favorite to be the nominee.
Speaker 5: But you know, you're right, I love JD. I think
Speaker 5: JD's got a great team around him. I wouldn't mind
Speaker 5: a little bit of a primary challenge just to kick
Speaker 5: the tires and refine their campaign going into a general.
Speaker 5: I have seen just being in Virginia. Let me make
Speaker 5: a quick point here about Virginia the gubernatorial campaign. There
Speaker 5: was a complete and total disaster here in which Winsome
Speaker 5: Seers got obliterated, took down all the other state wides,
Speaker 5: and the House of Delegates we lost.
Speaker 12: Whatever we're at, we.
Speaker 5: Almost have a super majority now with Democrats. She should
Speaker 5: have had a primary challenge, and Youngkin went out of
Speaker 5: his way to endorse her early on to prevent a primary.
Speaker 5: A primary would have benefited us here in Virginia. Kicked
Speaker 5: the tires on Winsome Seers campaign, which was miserable or
Speaker 5: gotten as a stronger candidate. So I'm generally of the
Speaker 5: opinion you should have a primary of some sort just
Speaker 5: to refine the campaign, kick the tires, get everybody clicking
Speaker 5: on all cylinders. But that'll say, I think JD is
Speaker 5: the odds on favorite to be the twenty twenty eight nominee,
Speaker 5: and I'm actually quite happy with that.
Speaker 3: Look, you hear gossip, you hear rumors. You think we're
Speaker 3: going to see a Supreme Court justice or to retire
Speaker 3: next summer.
Speaker 5: Maybe the rumors are not really floating around that much
Speaker 5: about retirements on the Supreme Court. I haven't heard anything
Speaker 5: that's kind of gone to the top of my raid
Speaker 5: on radar on that front. But I would love it
Speaker 5: if Trump got one or two more picks to make
Speaker 5: sure that we have the Supreme Court for a very
Speaker 5: long time. Just I mean, this is the one thing, Kurt,
Speaker 5: that I think will be one of Trump's greatest triumphs
Speaker 5: when it's all said and done. The Supreme Court that
Speaker 5: he is restructured and I hope continues to restructure will
Speaker 5: exist long after he is gone. And it has provided
Speaker 5: us a massive backstop to the left. And it has
Speaker 5: also provided us the ability to, I think, really start
Speaker 5: to deconstruct the administrative state, in which you've seen some
Speaker 5: pretty important decisions in the last year or two with
Speaker 5: Trump's Supreme Court starting to really kick at the foundations
Speaker 5: of the state, and I think that's a fantastic thing.
Speaker 3: Well, happy new year, Ned Ryan, CEO of American Majority.
Speaker 3: I'm guess has Kurt Schlichter, We've got a lot more
Speaker 3: to go to stick around. We're back on the here
Speaker 3: you att radio program and uh that's uh, that's Kansas
Speaker 3: with carry on my wayward Son, the perfect intro song
Speaker 3: for my friend Carrie Pickett of the Washington Times. She's
Speaker 3: the White House correspondence. Hi Carrie, how are you doing.
Speaker 13: I'm doing great? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 4: Kurt.
Speaker 3: Well, look, I uh yeah, big story out there, some
Speaker 3: Molly corruption and it's spreading all over the country. You're
Speaker 3: at the White House. How's President Trump and his administration
Speaker 3: going to deal with this?
Speaker 9: Well, you know, Kurt.
Speaker 13: The interesting thing here is that they have several avenues
Speaker 13: to really hit at this. The first avenue is the
Speaker 13: political aspect of it, where they can go through the
Speaker 13: House over Sight community, where you have Chairman James Comer
Speaker 13: who is investigating it, and they can figure that they
Speaker 13: can start looking towards it and start looking at the
Speaker 13: Governor of Minnesota as well as other high ranking officials,
Speaker 13: and ultimately, if they find any sort of criminal wrongdoing,
Speaker 13: ultimately they can start looking towards criminal referrals towards the
Speaker 13: Justice Department. On the legal aspect of it, which is
Speaker 13: where you have a lot of interest in. You already
Speaker 13: have cash Pattel and you also have the Justice Department
Speaker 13: as well, who are looking to charge several individuals, and
Speaker 13: they have been several individuals who have already have been charged.
Speaker 13: And see how many within the Somali community who could
Speaker 13: ultimately go to a prison on this. And you also
Speaker 13: have a Homeland Security Department, whether or not you'll see
Speaker 13: how many Somali individuals who could possibly be deported on this.
Speaker 13: So there's a whole Morgesborg of the administration who could
Speaker 13: have their hands in this.
Speaker 3: Kurt Well, Carrie Pickett, I, I, you know, I obviously have
Speaker 3: to do a legal investigation. But you know, if you
Speaker 3: throw this over to the house and put in another
Speaker 3: thing on their plate, you know, it kind of smacks
Speaker 3: of the Well, we're going to form a Blue Ribbon commission.
Speaker 3: If there's anything I have ever heard that requires a
Speaker 3: truth social post from Donald Trump, it is you know,
Speaker 3: Nick Shirley's one hundred and ten million viewed a video
Speaker 3: where Trump ought to retweet that and say, hey, look
Speaker 3: at what's going on. Look at what you know Tim
Speaker 3: Waltz did, look at look at the guy that that
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris picked her to her VP nominee. I think
Speaker 3: this is a political hammer, and I think they ought
Speaker 3: to start swinging it.
Speaker 13: But think about this, Kurt, this didn't just open things
Speaker 13: up in Minnesota. It also opened things up in Maine,
Speaker 13: for example, right, the other state that also took in
Speaker 13: many individuals within the Somali community who came in here
Speaker 13: under pretty suspicious means. And it's not just the Somali community,
Speaker 13: it's also other countries that came in very similar circumstances
Speaker 13: many many years ago and then took advantage of the
Speaker 13: particular very generous welfare state within the United States. And look,
Speaker 13: you have Minnesota, which has a very Scandinavian welfare system
Speaker 13: that was taken advantage of to the nth degree. And
Speaker 13: then unfortunately, now here we have Governor Walls who said, oh, well,
Speaker 13: you know, now I have a reform program that's going
Speaker 13: to fix all the fraud system. Well, now you're just
Speaker 13: saying this after the fact when you essentially got caught
Speaker 13: because previously there are whistleblowers who are apparently threatened if
Speaker 13: they even stepped forward with this information.
Speaker 3: Kurt, Well Cherry, I just think it's a missed opportunity
Speaker 3: if Trump doesn't make this a personal political issue, because
Speaker 3: it cuts at the Democrat assumptions of immigration, and it
Speaker 3: cuts at the Democrat assumptions of the welfare state. It's
Speaker 3: a win win. You know, you can be ridiculous like
Speaker 3: Tim Waltz and stamfall Well, I'd say it's a white
Speaker 3: supremacy to look at Somali daycare fraud. Normal people, even
Speaker 3: normal Democrats, that look at and go, you know, I
Speaker 3: didn't sign in for a bunch of guys fresh off
Speaker 3: the boat from Mogadishu ripping us off to the tuna
Speaker 3: eight billion dollars. I didn't do that. I think it's
Speaker 3: a very powerful opportunity and I would like to see
Speaker 3: Donald Trump not miss it.
Speaker 13: That's actually a very good point there, because for many,
Speaker 13: many years you had people who did not want to
Speaker 13: talk about this because they weren't scared that they were
Speaker 13: going to be called a racist. But I think we
Speaker 13: have stepped way beyond that now, Kurt, because you have
Speaker 13: many people who are sick and tired of getting ripped off.
Speaker 13: Donald Trump sort of put that confidence behind them, and
Speaker 13: now they.
Speaker 2: Where they've seen like thin.
Speaker 13: GK about this for a second. You have the Somalian GDP,
Speaker 13: which is about what twelve billion dollars and at this point,
Speaker 13: they know that at least nine billion dollars has been
Speaker 13: defrauded off the federal taxpayer. I mean, that's absolutely ridiculous.
Speaker 13: And once people are told that, that's something where people
Speaker 13: if they're told, well, well.
Speaker 9: You're a racist.
Speaker 13: We even talking about this, like no, no, no, no, you're
Speaker 13: a thief for even taking our money. So come on
Speaker 13: now please.
Speaker 3: Oh. Carrie Pickett from the Washington Times, she recently had
Speaker 3: a article on how the Trump White House and its
Speaker 3: press team we're going to confront the regime media. Can
Speaker 3: you tell us about that big scoop because I thought
Speaker 3: it was fascinating.
Speaker 13: Yes, this is very interesting because you have Hugh recall
Speaker 13: when President Trump first came to office in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 13: he thought that perhaps because he has been in the
Speaker 13: media going back to the nineteen seventies, he always had
Speaker 13: a very friendly sort of relationship, and he thought that
Speaker 13: perhaps that would continue even though they were sort of
Speaker 13: surprise when he went to the White House it was
Speaker 13: a very hostile media. I spoke with Sean Spicer, his
Speaker 13: first White House Press secretary, as well as Caroline Levitt,
Speaker 13: his present press secretary, and Sewn Spicer was like, we
Speaker 13: were shocked as to how hostile they were, and we
Speaker 13: were told that we had to conform to the traditional
Speaker 13: way that White House pre secretaries always did things, and
Speaker 13: at first we did, but then we sort of changed
Speaker 13: things up. But by the time they changed things up,
Speaker 13: it was already sort of too late because they were
Speaker 13: always on defense. By the time you had Caroline Levitt
Speaker 13: come in this time around, it was like, no, now
Speaker 13: we're going to have things done our way. We're going
Speaker 13: to have more conservative media in there to make sure
Speaker 13: that we are covered more fairly. They ended up bringing
Speaker 13: back more media passes, which is about as our passes,
Speaker 13: about five hundred media passes where are brought back, you
Speaker 13: see more conservative media and there they actually track down
Speaker 13: reporters on online like a social media such as x
Speaker 13: and Facebook, et cetera, et cetera, and they tracked the
Speaker 13: bouncing you were wrong here, how dare you do this?
Speaker 13: They are much more aggressive, and you see that in
Speaker 13: the briefing room. You see that on X It's and
Speaker 13: you see Caroline Levitt really following in the footsteps of
Speaker 13: her predecessor, Keilly mckin any, making sure that she calls
Speaker 13: out reporters who they feel are covering them incorrectly.
Speaker 3: Do you see any improvement by the mainstream regime media
Speaker 3: towards fair coverage of the Trump administration two point zero?
Speaker 3: Or are they continue going down the path that got
Speaker 3: them to this place in the first place. You got
Speaker 3: about thirty seconds.
Speaker 13: Absolutely, because certain reporters are no longer there anymore. It
Speaker 13: seems like they are treading a little more carefully, especially
Speaker 13: because the AP no longer has their special access where
Speaker 13: they're able to be there all the time in a
Speaker 13: lot of the pool events anymore. They're no longer trying
Speaker 13: to get their way with the with the with the
Speaker 13: Trump should we say comms people, Let's just say they
Speaker 13: are treating them a little more fairly, but still at
Speaker 13: the same time, they're also trying to sneak around them
Speaker 13: a little more often. So let's just say it's just
Speaker 13: a different media.

Speaker 3: Gypsy's tramps and thieves. We got a lot of thieves
Speaker 3: up there. But look, don't get cynical. Don't get to
Speaker 3: the point where you don't care about other people, where
Speaker 3: you think that everything is a lie and a scam.
Speaker 3: It's not Angel Tree. Okay. First of all, a colonel
Speaker 3: I stepped up and I submit I took one of
Speaker 3: my paychecks for this gig because I'm known it four times.
Speaker 3: I gave it to Angel Tree. Because I don't want
Speaker 3: to tell you to do something that I'm not willing
Speaker 3: to do. What I want to do is say thanks
Speaker 3: to everyone who joined our hu Hewett Show Angel Tree
Speaker 3: Christmas campaign through our friends at the nonprofit Prison Fellowship. Together,
Speaker 3: just on this show, we blessed over four thousand boys
Speaker 3: and girls who had a mom or dad in prison
Speaker 3: with a very special Christmas Morning. If you missed our
Speaker 3: show last Friday, the day after Christmas. Received this call
Speaker 3: from a woman named Kathy, who knows very well the
Speaker 3: impact of folks like you from all over the country.
Speaker 15: I myself was in prison for four years and Angel
Speaker 15: Tree never failed. My kid's got a gift from me
Speaker 15: every year, and I am so thankful for that. Everybody
Speaker 15: that's donating, you're donating to a great cause. You really are,
Speaker 15: because these kids go through so much, which is nothing
Speaker 15: is their fault, but will think funny things sometimes though
Speaker 15: mom's in prison because we did something bad. It's a
Speaker 15: great organization and I'm happy to put whatever extra money
Speaker 15: I might have into it.
Speaker 3: And here's the really great news. Prison Fellowships doesn't stop
Speaker 3: at Christmas. It goes on year round with things like
Speaker 3: Angel Tree Sports Camp and Angel Tree Summer Camps for kids.

Speaker 3: tax deduction, you must make your donation before midnight on
Speaker 3: December thirty first Angel Tree, make it happen, people I did.
Speaker 3: You've got no excuse. We're back on to hear you
Speaker 3: at John Guess has Kurch Schlichter, author of the new
Speaker 3: book Panama Read. And of course that bumper music is
Speaker 3: social distortion with its cover of under my Thumb. And
Speaker 3: I chose that not because of any particular reason, just
Speaker 3: because it freaking rocks. And speaking of freaking rocking, my
Speaker 3: pal Josh Hammer is here. He's an author, he's a podcaster,
Speaker 3: he's senior counsel over at the Article three project. He's
Speaker 3: also the author of Israel and Civilization, which you can
Speaker 3: see behind him.
Speaker 8: Hi Josh Kurt, my good friend, but lady, Merry Christmas
Speaker 8: to you in a very early happy New Year.
Speaker 11: Good great to see you as always.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you. I would wish you uh righteous quansa,
Speaker 3: except it's a stupid, made up communist joke, and I
Speaker 3: won't insult you even ironically by doing so. That book
Speaker 3: behind you, Israel and Civilization, I think it's it's very
Speaker 3: germane to what we're talking about here today, which is
Speaker 3: primarily the Somali diaspora.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: And it's uh it seems to be its endemic crime
Speaker 3: U and U and massive fraud. And you know when America,
Speaker 3: when Jewish people immigrated to America from around the globe,
Speaker 3: they were able to I mean there were Jewish criminals,
Speaker 3: I mean may Orlansky, but they were able to integrate
Speaker 3: with our society fairly rapidly, because you know, it's a
Speaker 3: Judeo Christian country. We have some in common. My argument
Speaker 3: is we don't really have a lot in common with
Speaker 3: Somali culture, which is pretty much summed up by the
Speaker 3: movie Blackhawk Down. And we shouldn't be surprised that we
Speaker 3: when we introduce an alien culture, it acts alien.
Speaker 8: You know, Kurt, you mentioned Jewish immigrants. I mean, I've
Speaker 8: been thinking about this a lot recently, actually, so I'm
Speaker 8: a fourth or fifth generation American, depending on which side
Speaker 8: of the family. But I think a lot about my
Speaker 8: mother's mother's father, who himself was an immigrant's kind of
Speaker 8: a classic Jewish New York City immigrant, lower East Side
Speaker 8: ten min's kind of story. And he grew up very poor,
Speaker 8: as essentially most pretty much all Jewish immigrants of that
Speaker 8: Ellis Island immigration wave did. And he had a slogan
Speaker 8: that he developed as he was learning English, and he
Speaker 8: lived his whole life by the slogan, and he said,
Speaker 8: if you can conceive it and you can believe it,
Speaker 8: then you can achieve it. And he very much lived
Speaker 8: the quintessential American dream. He built his own real estate business.
Speaker 8: He ended up, unfortunately after he built his his small fortune, unfortunately,
Speaker 8: had a bit of a gambling problem, ended up losing
Speaker 8: all the money. We'll ignore those details from now, but
Speaker 8: the point is that there were main generations of immigrants
Speaker 8: who really did truly assimilate into American culture and Smali culture.
Speaker 8: It's not just you, Kurge. I mean, I think most
Speaker 8: Americans who are paying attention. You don't have to be
Speaker 8: a sociologist or rocket science to notice this stuff is incompatible.
Speaker 8: You know, our late beloved friend Charlie Kirk spent large
Speaker 8: swaths the last year of his life arguing that Islam
Speaker 8: categorically is not particularly compatible with Western civilization, with the
Speaker 8: American Republican is an American constitutionalism. That's not to say
Speaker 8: that there are not individual Muslims who can happily assimilate.
Speaker 8: Of course, there are many examples. Are are old pal
Speaker 8: doctor Judy Jasser that there are plenty of examples there.
Speaker 8: But speaking here about categories, you and I both lawyers,
Speaker 8: we think of the categorical and the individual. At a
Speaker 8: categorical level. Islam not just Islamism, but Islam itself. I mean, basically,
Speaker 8: sheer percentages of Muslims throughout the world who are doing
Speaker 8: very different things than the in of Islam. Are Are
Speaker 8: they defrauding others in the name of Islam? I don't
Speaker 8: really know, Kurt, but what I know is that it's
Speaker 8: not acceptable. It's a massive scandal. We're talking here billions
Speaker 8: of dollars, the largest defrauding the bilking on the American
Speaker 8: taxpayer in the history of the United States.
Speaker 11: I personally want to see people.
Speaker 3: Go to jail.
Speaker 8: I want to see prosecutions. I want to see not
Speaker 8: just random somalies who are operating these fraudulent child care centers.
Speaker 8: I would like to know what Tim Walls and Keith
Speaker 8: Ellison knew and when did they know it? By the way,
Speaker 8: what did Kamala Harris's vetting team know, Kurt? And when
Speaker 8: did they know it? They plucked Tim Walls at a
Speaker 8: relative security, put him on the on the running mate
Speaker 8: there on the ticket.
Speaker 11: Are you kidding me? Either?
Speaker 8: On the one hand, they were grossing combatant. Or on
Speaker 8: the other hand, they saw this they said, no big deal,
Speaker 8: don't worry about it. We're gonna beat Donald Trump and
Speaker 8: JD Evans. I mean, have you seen a crazier than Kurt.
Speaker 8: It's absolutely insane, and it really ought to make Americans
Speaker 8: fundamentally ask these questions that you were properly asking, which
Speaker 8: is cultural and civilizational compatibility.
Speaker 3: Well, look, I mean, you know, Kamala Harris could have
Speaker 3: made the smart choice. I was saying, Gosh, I sure,
Speaker 3: hope she doesn't pick Josh Shapiro. But of course she
Speaker 3: didn't pick Josh Shapiro. And I can think of two
Speaker 3: reasons why. A. He outshines her. B He's Jewish and
Speaker 3: that's poison in the Democrat Party.
Speaker 11: Yeah, Joshapiro would have been the obvious pick.
Speaker 3: Stunned for sure.
Speaker 8: In Pennsylvania is the most importance by any strict managination
Speaker 8: of all the swaying states. Josha Pierro has a very
Speaker 8: positive favorability raiins there by the way, Kirk, I mean,
Speaker 8: come twenty twenty at Democrats, sober up a little. I
Speaker 8: think that Shapiro probably is the most formidable candidate on us.
Speaker 8: I'm not sure who else would be. It's not called
Speaker 8: my arth, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I just think he's gonna have
Speaker 3: trouble winning a primary because while the Republican Party has
Speaker 3: had issues with Annie Semites, who many of them don't
Speaker 3: identify as Republicans, but they're kind of lumped with the
Speaker 3: right because they're not active leftists. This is part and
Speaker 3: parcel of the Democrat Party. This is the we don't
Speaker 3: have a Michigan problem, you know, the Somali votes in Minnesota.
Speaker 3: It's you know, it is a real, real problem for
Speaker 3: the Democrats. And I think as much as I like
Speaker 3: to be able to take advantage of the folly of
Speaker 3: my enemies, I think it's bad for America.
Speaker 11: Oh, it's absolutely terrible for America.
Speaker 8: It's absolutely horrific, Kurt. This country was built as a
Speaker 8: Christian country. I say that as an Orthodoxy, but it
Speaker 8: was built, Kurt on a certain type of Christianity. The
Speaker 8: Christianity and Founders was a very Hebrew Bible Old Testament
Speaker 8: based Christianity. I mean, that's why Leviticus is inscribed with Liberty,
Speaker 8: Bell and Philadelphia. That's why Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson
Speaker 8: won the National Seal of the United States to be Moses.
Speaker 11: Parting the Red Sea.
Speaker 8: They viewed themselves as modern Israelites fleeing their version of
Speaker 8: oppression back in Egypt.
Speaker 11: There So this is part of our story.
Speaker 8: And when you impoort cultures, in this case Somali's who
Speaker 8: simply just do not understand this. On the contrary, Frankly,
Speaker 8: they want to. They want to imminitize and expedite the
Speaker 8: exact opposite of that culture as Shari's supremacists takeover, at
Speaker 8: least in certain individuals in their own minds.
Speaker 11: There that is a recipe for disaster.
Speaker 8: And only a culture, only a civilization that appreciates what
Speaker 8: it was built upon, Kurt, Only that culture and civilization
Speaker 8: has a chance at survival. So Trump has starved this
Speaker 8: whole conversation when it comes to who is an American?
Speaker 8: Was an American? Ice the deportations. Frankly, Kurt, if I'm
Speaker 8: being a little even a little over the top there,
Speaker 8: I want to see some more denaturalization proceeds.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 8: If you defrauded our immigration services and lied about your
Speaker 8: support for a foreign terroristoranization on your naturalization paywork there.
Speaker 11: To me, that's fair game as.
Speaker 3: Well well, josh Hammer. I think Donald Trump has opened
Speaker 3: the overthin window, and I hope he throws a lot
Speaker 3: of these bums out of our country. Thank you for
Speaker 3: joining us, Joshua of the Article three Project. I'm guest
Speaker 3: host Kurt Schlichter. This is the Hugh Hewitt Show, stick Around.
Speaker 3: We've got more to come.
