Always buckle up. You're 7 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: in for a bumpy ride. Now. Did the media and 8 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,320 Speaker 1: the Dems lie about the five year old supposedly used 9 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: as quote unquote bait by Ice? They would never do that, 10 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: would they. California fraud worse than that of Minnesota. AOC 11 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: calls for ICE to be defunded, and Special Prosecutor Jack 12 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: Smith faced House Republicans over Operation Arctic Frost where you 13 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 1: got their phone records to investigate whether Trump colluded with 14 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: Congressional Republicans to steal the twenty twenty election. Trump says, 15 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 1: if the Republicans don't nuke the fellowbuster, Democrats will crime, 16 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: including homicide down under Trump two point zero. Trump, of 17 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: course is taking credit, but does he deserve at least 18 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: some of the credit. Trump says, a big force his 19 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: expression of US naval ships or heading towards Iran Los 20 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: Angeles Fire Department use charity funds to pay for wait 21 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 1: for it, a public relations firm use money that was 22 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: raised for the victims of the fire to hire a 23 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: public relations for public relations firm, presumably to handle their message. 24 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: All of this and more. The number is triple eight 25 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: nine seven one sage triple eight nine seven one seven 26 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: two four to three. Now I'm going to get into 27 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: the allegation that Ice used a five year old as 28 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: bait in just a second. But first, do you remember 29 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: this exchange between Caroline Levitt in this Irish reporter who 30 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: works for The Hill. 31 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: Renee Good was shot in the head and killed by 32 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: an isation. 33 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 3: How does that equate to numbering everything? 34 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: K Why was Renee Good unfortunately and tragically killed? 35 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 5: Are you're asking me my opinion because an Ice agendacted recklessly. 36 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: And killed it n justifiable? 37 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 6: Oh? 38 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 4: Okay, so you're a biased reporter with a left wing opinion. 39 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 7: What do you want me to do? 40 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, because you're a left wing hack. You're not a reporter. 41 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 4: You're posing in this room as a journalist. And it's 42 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 4: so clear by the premise of your question, and you 43 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 4: and the people in the media who have such biases, 44 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 4: but fake like you're a journalist. You shouldn't even be 45 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: sitting in that seat. But you're pretending that you're a journalist, 46 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 4: but you're a left wing activist. And the question that 47 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 4: you just raised and your answer proves your bias. 48 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 8: You should be. 49 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 9: Reporting on the facts. 50 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 2: You should re reporting on the cases. 51 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 4: Do you have the numbers of how many American citizens 52 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 4: were killed at the hands of illegal aliens who ICE 53 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 4: is trying to remove from this country? 54 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: I bet you don't. 55 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 4: I bet you didn't even read up on those stories. 56 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: I bet you never even read about Lake and Riley 57 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: or Joscelyn Nungray. Are all of the innocent Americans who 58 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: were killed at the hands of illegal aliens in this country? 59 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 4: And the brave men and women of ICE are doing 60 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 4: everything in their power to remove those heinous individuals and 61 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 4: make our communities safer. And shame on people like you 62 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: and the media who have a crooked view and have 63 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: a bias view and pretend like you're real honest journalist. 64 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 1: Now, that person's name is Niall Stanitch sta Nage, and 65 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: here is part of his exchange he had with Caroline Livitt. 66 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: Quote earlier, you were just defending ICE agents that they 67 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: were doing everything correct. Thirty two people died in ICE custody. 68 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: Last year, one hundred and seventy US residents were detained 69 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: by ICE and Renee Good was shot in the head 70 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: and killed. How does that equate to them doing everything correctly? 71 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: End of quote. Now let's analyze this. The one hundred 72 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: and seventy figure of US citizens detained by ICE is 73 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: in that article you and I discussed about a week 74 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: or two ago in a left wing publication called pro 75 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: publica headline this is October sixteen, twenty twenty five. More 76 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: than one hundred and twenty US citizens have been held 77 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: by immigration agents. They've been kicked, dragged, and detained for days. 78 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: That's the headline, and it says, quote, we found more 79 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: than one hundred and seventy cases this year where citizens 80 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: were detained at raids and protests. Agents have arrested about 81 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty Americans, including a dozen elected officials, 82 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: for allegedly interfering with or assaulting officers. Yet those cases 83 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: were often dropped end of quote. So clearly this journalist 84 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: was referring to the one hundred and seventy number that's 85 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 1: in this article out of REPUBLICA friend of our show. 86 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: John Lott, the president of the Crime Research Institute Crime 87 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: Prevention Research Organization, Crime Prevention Research Organization, wrote a piece 88 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: about that exchange with that reporter and about this piece 89 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:51,039 Speaker 1: in ProPublica, and here's what he said. He said, let's 90 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: set the baseline between presidents January twenty twenty five inauguration 91 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: and the end of November, the Trump administration arrested five 92 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty nine thousand illegal aliens and deported six 93 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: hundred and five thousand. Let me read that again. I know, 94 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: I go quickly between the presidents January twenty, twenty twenty 95 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: five inauguration and the end of November, Trump administration arrested 96 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: an extraordinary five hundred and ninety five thousand illegal aliens 97 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: deported six hundred and five thousand. And he goes on 98 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: to talk about one hundred and seventy people that were 99 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: detained that this reporter mentions. He says one hundred and 100 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: seven included one hundred and thirty arrested for interfering with 101 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: or assaulting officers. That's justifiable by any reading of the law. 102 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,280 Speaker 1: Lott says only about forty or so of those cases 103 00:06:55,320 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: were who were detained claim to be US citizens accidentally 104 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: or erroneously arrested by ICE. Okay, so out of that 105 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy number, only forty were detained or 106 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: claimed to be US citizens either erroneously or accidentally. Forty 107 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: and just half those people Rights John Lott were held 108 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: for more than a day. Most were released in a 109 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: few hours. Now, any era is bad, but forty out 110 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: of five hundred and ninety five thousand amounts to an 111 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: error rate of zero point zero zero six seven percent, 112 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: or one wrongful detention for every fourteen thousand, nine hundred 113 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: and twenty five arrests. Now, let's compare that to the 114 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: last two years of the administration of Barack Obama. Shall 115 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: we We're talking fiscal years twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen. 116 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: ICE recorded two hundred and sixty three mistaken arrests, fifty 117 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: four mistaken detentions, and four mistaken removals out of the country. 118 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: During those two years. Ice made even far fewer arrests 119 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: than did Trump two hundred ninety five thousand, six forty five, 120 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: Meaning the fifty four mistaken detentions under these two years 121 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 1: under Obama produced an error rate of zero point zero 122 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: two two five percent, or one mistake out of every 123 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: four thousand, four hundred and forty four arrests, which means 124 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: the error rate under Obama was three point three six 125 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: times higher than that of Trump. Also, get this, this 126 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: report claimed that thirty two people died in ice custody 127 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: last year. Let's look at how many people died during 128 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: the two years of Obama's two terms two thousand and 129 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: nine twenty seventeen, fifty six individuals died in ice custody 130 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: fifty six. Now, the closest available figures show over the 131 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: five years four hundred and ninety eight thousand plus detentions 132 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: an average of roughly ninety nine thousand, seven hundred and 133 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: twenty nine per year. Under that estimate, the fifty six 134 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: death translates into zero point zero zero seven, roughly one 135 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: death for every fourteen thousand, three hundred and fourteen detainees. 136 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: The death rate under Trump last year one death for 137 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: every eighteen thousand, five hundred and ninety four detainees. So 138 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: more people died per capita under Trump excuse me, under 139 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: Obama than under Trump. More mistaken arrests under Obama than 140 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: under Trump, and there were two people mistakenly deported versus 141 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: no people mistakenly deported by Trump? Is this thing on 142 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: so by any stretch? Trump's rate of brutality in quotes 143 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: under Ice was better than Obama's parents. The biggest question 144 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,240 Speaker 1: in education today is how artificial intelligence is shaping the 145 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: way your student learns. Artificial intelligence is changing education faster 146 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: than most schools are willing to admit, and many families 147 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: are rightly concerned. At Patrick Henry Cot, the goal isn't 148 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: to outsource thinking to machines. It's to train students to 149 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,880 Speaker 1: think for themselves. PHC emphasizes a Christian liberal arts education 150 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: that develops reasoning, writing, speaking, and discernment skills no algorithm 151 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: can replace. Students learn to engage technology wisely understanding its 152 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: capabilities but also its danger and limitations, rather than becoming 153 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: dependent on it. In a world increasingly shaped by AI. 154 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Henry College prepares students to lead with wisdom, conviction, 155 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 1: and moral clarity. If you want a college that prepares 156 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,559 Speaker 1: your child to lead in an AI driven world without 157 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: losing his or her faith and values, I encourage you 158 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: to learn more about Patrick Henry College.

I am Larry Elder. 162 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: We are Salem News Challenge. So let's recap. Under Obama, 163 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: the death rate people who are in Ice attan who 164 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 1: actually died was worse than the death rate under Trump. 165 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: Under Obama, the mistaken arrests mistaken detention rate was worse 166 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: than that of Trump. Under Obama, US citizens mistakenly deported 167 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: fiscal year twenty fifteen fiscal year twenty sixteen, there were 168 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: four US citizens under Obama in those two years who 169 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: were mistakenly deported out of the country. How many US 170 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: citizens have the president mistakenly deported? 171 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 3: None? 172 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: Zero. I hope our friend Mark is listening. I'm sure 173 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: he's kind of figured out some sort of angle. I 174 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: don't know how you going to get out of this one. 175 00:12:54,400 --> 00:13:00,920 Speaker 1: This explains why people have now soured on Trump's mass deportation. 176 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 1: According to a Quintipiac survey, fifty two percent ECU ME 177 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,440 Speaker 1: fifty seven percent of Americans now disapprove of how Ice 178 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: has been enforcing immigration laws. Poll conducted by CNN, fifty 179 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: one percent of adults now say ICE enforcement is making 180 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: cities less safe, and of course these tactics are making 181 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 1: federal agents jobs far more dangerous. Assaults on federal immigration 182 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: officers increase by one thousand, three hundred and forty seven percent, 183 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty five death threats increased eight thousand percent. 184 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 1: Car attacks on ICE agents increase by three thousand, two 185 00:13:55,559 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: hundred percent. Hackers have leaked the home addresses and personal 186 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,239 Speaker 1: ID information on about four thy five hundred ICE employees 187 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: and Border patrol employees now about this business of fifty 188 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: one percent now say ICE enforcement is making cities less safe. 189 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: The homicide rate and the crime rate across thirty five 190 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 1: cities have declined under President Trump. Report from the Council 191 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: on Criminal Justice says the homicide rate is likely now 192 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: approaching the lowest since nineteen hundred. Eleven of the thirteen 193 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: tract offenses were lower in twenty twenty five compared to 194 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Nine thousand fewer aggravated assaults over that 195 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: period of time two twenty two nine percent, fewer aggravated 196 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: assaults twenty two percent, fewer gun assaults two percent, fewer 197 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: domestic violence incidents, total robberies declined by twenty three percent. 198 00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: Carjackings dropped by forty three percent. Now, it's always in 199 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: crimes that they are a whole bunch of different variables. 200 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: The only way to really find out if something can 201 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: be attributed to something in in P particular is if 202 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: we had a world where there was the one we 203 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: have and then a world where you took out one element. 204 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: We can't do that, so we have to speculate. However, 205 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: how are you going to deport one point five criminal 206 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: illegal aliens and not have them have a positive effect 207 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: on crime positi effect meaning causing crime to go down. 208 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: How do you have FBI arrests up one hundred percent 209 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: without having to have some sort of positive impact on 210 00:15:53,080 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: crime rates? How do you dispatch federal law enforcement to Washington, 211 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: d c. Where there's almost an immediate decline in crime, 212 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: and in Minneapolis where there's almost an immediate decline in crime. 213 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: You know why, because bad guys are keeping their heads down, 214 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: illegal alien criminal bad guys are keeping their heads down. 215 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: They know there's a new sheriff in town and he 216 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: doesn't play. So the idea that somehow Ice is making 217 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: America less safe, it is nonsense. It's the opposite. But 218 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: what these people are doing by attacking ICE by lying 219 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: is causing innocent people to be more at risk from 220 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: being harmed. Now this brings us to this allegation that 221 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: ICE detained used a five year old as bait. Here 222 00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: is what AOC said about this number thirty six. But you, 223 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: obviously great, ICE should be abolished, But there many in 224 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 1: your party are not coined that far. 225 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 10: Is that a problem for you? 226 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 6: I think. 227 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 11: Any step in the direction of reining in and cutting 228 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 11: the funding of an agency that is attacking US citizens, 229 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,240 Speaker 11: that are kidnapping five year olds, that are using them 230 00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 11: as bait to open doors, and that are privately circulating 231 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 11: that they can violate everyday American's constitutional rights by busting 232 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,560 Speaker 11: into their doors, they deserve to be defunded. I'll take 233 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 11: and I'll take any step in that. 234 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 3: Direction, are you friend? 235 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: Now? The Washington Post did an article about this. The 236 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: superintendent of Columbia Heights Public School District just north of 237 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 1: Minneapolis said this, why detain a five year old? You 238 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: cannot tell me that this child is going to be 239 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: classified as a violent criminal. The five year old is 240 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 1: named Leon Kunejos Ramos. His father that the Department of 241 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 1: hol Land Security identified as Adriann Alexandro Conejo Areus is 242 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:26,479 Speaker 1: a legal alien. He was detained and ran as officers 243 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: approached him. The idea that the five year old was 244 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 1: used as bait, which is what the school district said, 245 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: is completely refuted by what jd Vance said when he 246 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: gave four more details about what really happened. I'm going 247 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 1: to have that for you just a second. But the 248 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: bottom line again is this Obama deported twice as many 249 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: people over his two terms as says Trump. So far, 250 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: the rate of people who were mistakenly arrested, mistakenly detained 251 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 1: was worse under Obama than under Trump. Obama deported two 252 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: US citizens by mistake in twenty fifteen and in twenty sixteen. 253 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 1: Trump has deported zero US citizens by mistake. And let's 254 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: remember CNN went with Ice during the Obama years for 255 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: a full day into the interior into a sanctuary city 256 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: called Chicago, and an ICE agent complained that because of 257 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: Chicago's sanctuary city policies, we have to get in the 258 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: streets and do this, and the CNN reporter completely understood that. Well, 259 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,400 Speaker 1: now that's what's happening right now. All of a sudden. 260 00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,120 Speaker 1: Now nobody seems to understand that. But it was perfectly 261 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,160 Speaker 1: okay for the ICE agent to complain about that during 262 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,040 Speaker 1: the Obama years. But now when the Trump administration complaints 263 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 1: about this, well they're just Gestapo and they're Nazis. Triple 264 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 1: eight nine seven one S A G E. I'm Larry Elder. 265 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 10: You had me believe in while you were seven? 266 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 11: Were the. 267 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one S eight G E. Triple 268 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four to three, I 269 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: am Larry yel Do we are Salem News Channel? Again? 270 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: Did the media give a rip that under Obama his 271 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: last two fiscal years, there were four count of four 272 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: US citizens mistakenly deported. Do you hear anything about that? 273 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: Hear anything about the number of people that were mistakenly 274 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: arrested or detained under Obama on a per capita basis 275 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: worse record than under Trump. That, don't get me wrong, 276 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: A tiny, tiny fraction were mistakenly detained or arrested under 277 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 1: either administration. But if you're going to obsess or what 278 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: Trump it's been doing, Obama was worse. Nobody gave a 279 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: rep And don't forget the time Ice spent that whole 280 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 1: day during the Obama administration and talked about the people 281 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: that were being arrested, and one was even mistakenly arrested. 282 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: ICE agents complained that because of the sanctuary policies of Chicago, 283 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: we have to be in the streets where we weren't 284 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 1: before and we were allowed to go in. Now, regarding 285 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 1: the five year old who allegedly was used as bait, 286 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 1: jd Vance gave a little more detail on number fortys. 287 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 6: A local school district. 288 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 12: Here is a logic ICE agents taking a five year 289 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 12: old in preschool on Tuesday. 290 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: We've also seen says detained is. 291 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 12: Five sixty years Are you proud of how your administration 292 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 12: is getting out thing disa immigration crashed. 293 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,719 Speaker 9: Down here in Sochain. 294 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,479 Speaker 13: Well, I'm proud of the fact that we're standing behind 295 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 13: law enforcement, and I'm proud of the fact that we're 296 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 13: enforcing the country's laws. But you know, you asked a 297 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 13: question about this five year old kid. I actually saw 298 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 13: this terrible story while I was coming to Minneapolis. We 299 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 13: just left Toledo, Ohio this morning for an economic messaging event, 300 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 13: and I see this story and I'm a father of 301 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 13: a five year old, actually a five year old little boy, 302 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 13: and I think to myself, Oh my god, this is terrible. 303 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 6: How did we arrest a five year old? 304 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 13: Well, I do a little bit more follow up research, 305 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 13: and what I find is that the five year old 306 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 13: was not arrested, that his dad was an illegal alien, 307 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,200 Speaker 13: and then they went when they went to arrest his 308 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 13: illegal alien father, the father ran. So the story is 309 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 13: that ICE detained a five year old. Well, what are 310 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 13: they supposed to do. 311 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 6: Are they supposed to let a five year old child 312 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 6: freeze to death? 313 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 13: Are they not supposed to arrest an illegal alien in 314 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 13: the United States of America. 315 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 6: If the argument is that. 316 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 13: You can't arrest people who have violated laws because they 317 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 13: have children, then every single parent is going to be 318 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 13: completely given immunity from ever being the subject of law enforcement. 319 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 13: That doesn't make any sense. No one thinks that makes 320 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,879 Speaker 13: any sense. Now, there are so many of these cases 321 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 13: like that, where if you just understand the context, There 322 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 13: have been a number of situations that I've looked into 323 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 13: personally where I say, wait a second, we don't want 324 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 13: ICE arresting American citizens. They're supposed to be enforcing the 325 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 13: immigration laws against the legal aliens. So then I look 326 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 13: into it and I find out that the American citizen 327 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 13: who was arrested took a swing at an ICE officer. 328 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 6: You can't have that happen. 329 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,960 Speaker 13: And of course they have to defend themselves, and of 330 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 13: course they have the right to detain somebody who assaults 331 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 13: law enforcement officer. Now, this is my point. Do we 332 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 13: want these things to happen? Do we want these arrests 333 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 13: to be so chaotic? 334 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 3: No, we don't. 335 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,400 Speaker 13: These guys want at least evolve. But if we had 336 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 13: a little cooperation from local and federals or excuse me, 337 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 13: from local and state officials, I think the chaos would 338 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 13: go way down in this community. 339 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 1: And then you have Hakim Jeffries, he's a leader of 340 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats in the House. ICE is totally out of control, 341 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: brutalizing American citizens. By that standard, ICE was former out 342 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: of control under Obama, brutalized more American citizens under Obama. 343 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: Here's mister Jeffries, number forty one. 344 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:49,879 Speaker 7: American people deserve and Immigration and Customs enforcement agency that 345 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 7: conducts itself in a manner consistent with every other law 346 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 7: enforcement agency in the country. 347 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 6: That is not too much to ask ed States of America. 348 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 7: But ICE is totally out of control using taxpayer dollars 349 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 7: to brutalize American citizens and law abiding immigrant families. So 350 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 7: what we will continue to press are common sense changes 351 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 7: that should be mandated as part of the law, including 352 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 7: but not limited to judicial warrant requirements before American citizens 353 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 7: can be seized out of their home or while driving 354 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 7: to and from work or picking up their children from school. 355 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 7: We believe that body cameras should be mandated, as. 356 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: It didn't give a riff about Obama's brutality record under Ice. 357 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: Didy Triple eight nine seventy one, Sage, I am Larry Older, 358 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one Sage Triple eight nine seven 359 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: one seven two four three.

That's Relief Factor dot com. 364 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: So to recap you get down to it. Under the 365 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,320 Speaker 1: Trump administration, ICE has mistakenly arrested or detained forty people 366 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 1: out of five hundred and ninety five thousand arrests. That's 367 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: a wrongful detention. One wrongful detention for every fourteen thousand, 368 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 1: nine hundred and twenty five arrests under Obama. Last two years, 369 00:26:53,480 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: ICE recorded two hundred and sixty three mistaken arrests out 370 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: of a smaller number of arrests altogether. That comes to 371 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: a wrongful detention error rate of one for every four thousand, 372 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: four hundred and twenty four arrests. And again, last two 373 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 1: years under Obama, there were four count of four US 374 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:27,719 Speaker 1: citizens removed mistakenly removed from the country. Under Trump, there 375 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: have been zero. Now, both Hakim Jeffreys and AOC are 376 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: calling for alc anyway calling for ICE to be defunded. 377 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: Do you remember what James Carville said back in twenty 378 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,119 Speaker 1: twenty two when people were saying the same thing about 379 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: the police we do number thirty eight. 380 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 14: These people have the ability to irritate, to have the 381 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:56,600 Speaker 14: ability to come up with really stupid things like defund 382 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 14: the police. Three worst words was in the English language, maybe. 383 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: But defund ICE, mister Carville, that's okay. David Urban Conservative 384 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: on CNN number thirty two, and. 385 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 15: David, I mean Anderson, I was gonna say, you know, 386 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 15: Vans correct. Obama did deport lots of people, but it 387 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 15: was done differently right. It was done differently because Barack 388 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 15: Obama was deporting people as soon as they came across 389 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 15: the border, when they were just inside the interior of 390 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 15: America for a tiny bit. What has happened here because 391 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,200 Speaker 15: of the lack of the Biden administration's total open wars policy. 392 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 15: None of these people are still on the border. They've 393 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 15: now filtered into our cities. They've gone into different places, 394 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 15: sanctuary cities in the lake, and they've embedded themselves, and 395 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 15: so it's much more difficult. It's much more emotional for 396 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 15: people to see their neighbors being taken away. During the 397 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 15: Obama administration, nobody really cared that much. 398 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 6: I mean nobody. 399 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 15: I shouldn't say nobody, but you didn't have neighborhoods caring 400 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 15: as much because people were being and from the border 401 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,520 Speaker 15: directly and deported immediately. That did not happen. That could 402 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 15: not happen in this administration because what happened in the 403 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 15: prior four years the Biden administration let people pour into 404 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 15: the interior. So whether the ice doesn't have good locations 405 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 15: of everybody, so it does make a complete difference. And 406 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,040 Speaker 15: as to why people have their faces covered is because 407 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,040 Speaker 15: they're being docks. These people's lives are being threatened, These 408 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 15: agents are being they're they're living in fear of their 409 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 15: lives in certain places. 410 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: Now, wait a second. CNN's spent a day with ICE 411 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: during the Obama administration, and they were in the interior. 412 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: They were in the Chicago area, which is a sanctuary area. 413 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: And here's what happened.

Now, does it matter that 508 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,760 Speaker 1: since the beginning of Trump two point zero ten thousand 509 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: violent criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota had been arrested, three 510 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,839 Speaker 1: thousand just since December in Minneapolis alone. Does that matter? 511 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 1: Here is Trump showing mugshots of violent illegal aliens arrested 512 00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: in Minnesota. So the press had to watch number fifty. 513 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:42,359 Speaker 19: People vicious, many of the murderers. These are all out 514 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 19: of Minnesota, just Minnesota. I say, why didn't you talk 515 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:50,239 Speaker 19: about that? Or because people don't know? Do you want 516 00:35:50,280 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 19: to live with these people international murder that are living 517 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,560 Speaker 19: were if they're apprehended and either put in jails in 518 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,239 Speaker 19: their country from where they came or the countries respect us, 519 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 19: and so they actually put them there in the old days, 520 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 19: they didn't respect our country. Biden wouldn't do this because 521 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 19: he let them all in. You know, if you didn't 522 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,839 Speaker 19: have open border policies of Biden, none of this, all 523 00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,640 Speaker 19: of the things that we all the time that we 524 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 19: spent talking about Minnesota and everything else. Most of them 525 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 19: are coming from out of the country and it's been 526 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 19: caused by a previous administratives. One afterward, Boy, these are 527 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:46,800 Speaker 19: rough characters. These are real criminal, illegal aliens that in 528 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:52,480 Speaker 19: many cases they're murderers, their drug lords, drug dealers, they're 529 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:56,440 Speaker 19: the mentally insane, some of them who are brutal killers. 530 00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 19: They're mentally insane. They're killers, but they're insane. These are 531 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 19: just in Minnesota, California. It's worse in other states, it's worse. 532 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 19: No Minnesota, the crime is incredible, the financial crimes are incredible. 533 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:19,240 Speaker 19: And the problem is because of the agitators and insurrectionist 534 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 19: whatever you're with trouble. 535 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,919 Speaker 1: And again the ICE agent and that cnnp said prior 536 00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,560 Speaker 1: to twenty eleven, we were able to go to the jails. 537 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: Here's what JD. Vance said, Number forty three. 538 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 13: The local authorities have been told do not cooperate. So 539 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 13: these guys are trying to go out and enforce the law. 540 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 13: They're trying to arrest sex offenders, but they're trying to 541 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 13: do it in an environment where local officials have been 542 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 13: told do not help them, do not provide intelligence about 543 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 13: where these sex offenders might be. This is disgraceful and 544 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 13: there are a lot of things that all of us 545 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,280 Speaker 13: could do better to lower the temperature. 546 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: Including cooperating the way you did under Obama. Triple eight 547 00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: nine seventy one sage, Well, let's get her teed up 548 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:17,880 Speaker 1: to my Triple eight nine seven one s A G. E. 549 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one seven two four three. I 550 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,879 Speaker 1: am Larry Elder. We are saleing News Channel. Next hour, 551 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,440 Speaker 1: we're going to talk to a former pastor of the 552 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 1: city's church that was invaded by anti ice protesters. We're 553 00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: also going to talk about Trump derangement syndrome in Ireland 554 00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: where you can't even make a joke about the President 555 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 1: in a positive way without enduring social scorn. And this 556 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 1: hour we're going to get into Operation Arctic Frost. That's 557 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: the investigation done by Special Counsel Jack Smith where he 558 00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,960 Speaker 1: got records of congress person because they thought they and 559 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump are conspiring to quote unquote steal the twenty 560 00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,160 Speaker 1: twenty election. This is the first time that Jack Smith 561 00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:13,279 Speaker 1: has faced House Republicans over this whole ordeal. All of 562 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:19,000 Speaker 1: that this hour, But first, more about ICE. Jatie Vance 563 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: said right now he's been having meetings with officials in 564 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,760 Speaker 1: Minnesota and maybe, just maybe we won't have to invoke 565 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,000 Speaker 1: the Insurrection Act number forty two. 566 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,800 Speaker 13: I did not talk to him today. I talked to 567 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 13: some of his colleagues. You know, your question on the 568 00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 13: Insurrection Act is interesting. I've tried to understand this as 569 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 13: well as I possibly could, and my understanding is what 570 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,320 Speaker 13: the Insurrection Act. What invoking the Insurrection Act would allow 571 00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,080 Speaker 13: the federal government to do, is that would allow the 572 00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,440 Speaker 13: federal government to use the military for local law enforcement operations. 573 00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 13: Right now, we don't think that we need that. 574 00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 2: Now. 575 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,359 Speaker 13: The President could change his mind. Of course, things could 576 00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,399 Speaker 13: get worse, but right now we think that federal law 577 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 13: and officers of a federal law enforcement Now, what I 578 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 13: do worry about again is if the chaosk gets worse, 579 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 13: if more and more ICE agents start getting assaulted, if 580 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 13: other law enforcement officers start getting assaulted, that would be 581 00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 13: a real problem. But again, we have so much federal 582 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,759 Speaker 13: law enforcement resources here right now. 583 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: Now, the Eric Swalwell says he wants to make ICE 584 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:32,960 Speaker 1: agents unhireable. Is he aware thirty percent of ICE agents 585 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: or Hispanic So you want Hispanics to lose their jobs. 586 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 1: One article interview to ICE agent female mother of two. 587 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,719 Speaker 1: She said, I got divorced. I needed a job, good job, 588 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 1: good benefits. So apparently Swalwell would want her to lose 589 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,120 Speaker 1: her job. Number thirty nine. 590 00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:56,320 Speaker 20: Well, it's what you've just said earlier about what happened 591 00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,399 Speaker 20: on January sixth. We are watching this with our own eyes. 592 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 20: We're watching what ICE is doing with their own eyes. 593 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 20: We saw that woman be shot with their own eyes. 594 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 20: And what I've said is, governor is I will use 595 00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,200 Speaker 20: the powers of the office. If you're gonna wear a 596 00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 20: mask as an ICE agent in your state, I will 597 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,040 Speaker 20: take away your driver's license. If you work for ICE, 598 00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 20: you will be unhirable in the state. If you're gonna 599 00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,600 Speaker 20: work for fascists, forget about working in the state. 600 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:17,239 Speaker 2: So we are not weak. 601 00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 6: We have to go on offense. 602 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 20: Otherwise, the most vulnerable in our communities are on defense. 603 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,719 Speaker 20: And I urge every governor to start protecting their people 604 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:25,839 Speaker 20: in their state that way. 605 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,239 Speaker 1: Now again, if you're just now joining us, last hour 606 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,560 Speaker 1: went over the numbers of people deported under Trump versus 607 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,480 Speaker 1: deported under Obama. Obama deported twice as many people. However, 608 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,839 Speaker 1: the people that ice mistakenly arrested and detained was hire 609 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,399 Speaker 1: both in numbers and the rate of mistake and arrest 610 00:41:46,520 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: and detentions under Obama than under Trump. And under Obama 611 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 1: there were four, count them, four US citizens who were 612 00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,160 Speaker 1: mistakenly deported from the country. But don't tell that to 613 00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,919 Speaker 1: CNN's Van Whitelash Jones number forty. 614 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 21: Well, I just want to say, this is what you're 615 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:10,480 Speaker 21: seeing here. This is not about a deportation agenda. Barack 616 00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 21: Obama and President Barack Obama deported three million people. Three 617 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 21: million The Latin community called them the deporter in chief. 618 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 21: With none of this, with no massed agents, with no 619 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,160 Speaker 21: children being snatched up, without all this nonsense going on, 620 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,720 Speaker 21: without chemical agents being used against American citizens. 621 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,640 Speaker 6: Three million people. This is not about. 622 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,160 Speaker 21: Deport This is not about deporting people. It's about demeaning people. 623 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 21: It's about desensitizing people to a local digression. 624 00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: Enough again, the deportation, mistaken deportation rate under Obama was worse. 625 00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: Mistaken arrest rate under Obama was worse. Obama deported four 626 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:55,480 Speaker 1: US citizens, Trump none. None of that seemed to affect 627 00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: help Van Jones season picture, though, does it incredible? Now 628 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about Operation Arctic Frost again. That's the operation 629 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:17,200 Speaker 1: under which the Biden DOJ got records of Republican congress person, 630 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,560 Speaker 1: presumably because they thought the congress person were working with 631 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:24,640 Speaker 1: President Trump to somehow steal the twenty twenty election. This 632 00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 1: is Texas Congressman Chip Roy, number forty seven. 633 00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 22: Let me ask you this, am I on this list? 634 00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 22: Did you target my records and subpoena my phone toll records? 635 00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:44,920 Speaker 23: My understanding is your records were subpoenaed by prosecutors before 636 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,000 Speaker 23: I became special counsel. 637 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,560 Speaker 6: Well Stafford put this up on the screen. 638 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,520 Speaker 22: Thankful for the great staff who discovered the email where 639 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,440 Speaker 22: I learned for the first time a few weeks ago, 640 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 22: did my phone records were indeed targeted? We called at 641 00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,160 Speaker 22: and two and we've learned that they were given to 642 00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 22: the Department of Justice, as this email indicates, because I 643 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 22: had been in communication with Scott Perry, one of my 644 00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 22: colleagues here in Congress who literally had his phone taken 645 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 22: from him in front of his family, And of course 646 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,560 Speaker 22: that we've already talked about in this document. 647 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 6: It talks about you. 648 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 22: Could be in violation of the privilege by even obtaining 649 00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 22: and possessing this information if the member objected to the disclosure. 650 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,759 Speaker 22: This happened four years ago in May of twenty twenty two, 651 00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,839 Speaker 22: and I couldn't object because I didn't know. I didn't 652 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 22: know until about three weeks ago. My questionnaire is was 653 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,040 Speaker 22: there any limits to your investigation or the investigation that 654 00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 22: preceded you, mister Smith, Because as egregious as a violation 655 00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,759 Speaker 22: of separation of powers, this is as an egregious and 656 00:44:42,800 --> 00:44:45,920 Speaker 22: abuse of power it is, it's far more concerning. You 657 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,800 Speaker 22: are clearly targeting American citizens for merely being conservative or 658 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,120 Speaker 22: supporting the president. We've got memos that we've already been 659 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 22: talking about in this hearing from April twenty twenty two 660 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,319 Speaker 22: that preceded you, that established and opened the investigations, which 661 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:03,440 Speaker 22: has Attorney General Merrick Garland's signature on it, and the 662 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 22: focus was the electors.

Still, 862 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,399 Speaker 12: at one point, Smith told the elections team he wasn't 863 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,279 Speaker 12: ready to give up on Hutchinson's account. Ultimately, however, Trump 864 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:04,600 Speaker 12: administration officials uniformly fiercely disputed her accounts under oath.

So you didn't know, 1002 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:30,440 Speaker 26: didn't you. 1003 01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 23: So with respect to the item you just put up 1004 01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:37,240 Speaker 23: on the screen, the last sentence states, uh, we're. 1005 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:38,320 Speaker 6: Going to get to the last sentence. 1006 01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,480 Speaker 1: More on this we come back.

Okay, 1011 01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:05,240 Speaker 26: we're going to get to the last sentence, and you 1012 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,520 Speaker 26: cigne case long here. Quote the bar on compelled disclosure 1013 01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:09,320 Speaker 26: is absolute? 1014 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 3: Is right? 1015 01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,400 Speaker 6: Is that right? Or do you think that you didn't 1016 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,280 Speaker 6: have to abide by that precedent? 1017 01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,960 Speaker 2: To be clear, this is not this statement is not 1018 01:03:17,120 --> 01:03:18,800 Speaker 2: from my office.

This was part of your analysis. 1021 01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,560 Speaker 26: It's a cursory analysis. I think it's worth noting. Let's 1022 01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:29,840 Speaker 26: get to that last sentence then. 1023 01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:30,439 Speaker 6: Quote. 1024 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,240 Speaker 26: Given my understanding at the low likelihood that any of 1025 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,640 Speaker 26: the members listed below would be charged, the litigation risk 1026 01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 26: should be minimal here. In other words, you're using a 1027 01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 26: novel legal theory which you knew was novel, has never 1028 01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,000 Speaker 26: been tested by any court. You're not charging any of 1029 01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,240 Speaker 26: these members. Nobody is going to know about it because 1030 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 26: you issued indo's. Nobody is going to sue about it. 1031 01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,800 Speaker 26: So sue this, so who cares We're going to do 1032 01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 26: it anyways. You walked all over the Constitution throughout this 1033 01:03:58,520 --> 01:03:59,280 Speaker 26: entire process. 1034 01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:02,200 Speaker 6: The gentlemen's I'm planned members of Congress, and you know it. 1035 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 6: It's absolutely disgraceful. Heeled back triple. 1036 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 1: Eight nine seven one sage triple eight ninety seven one 1037 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,480 Speaker 1: seven two four three Larry Elders, Salem News Channel, And 1038 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: we're brought to you from the Relief Factor Studio.

Now, big picture, These guys under 1042 01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:37,120 Speaker 1: the Biden dealj went after Trump ruthlessly election was over. 1043 01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: They assume, of course Trump would never in a million 1044 01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:43,000 Speaker 1: years ever come back and be the only other president 1045 01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 1: to win two nonconsecutive terms. That's not gonna happen. Contrast 1046 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:52,800 Speaker 1: that with what Trump did when he won in twenty sixteen. 1047 01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,920 Speaker 1: How many times during rallies twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen, when 1048 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 1: he's running lock her up, Lock her up. And during 1049 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 1: the debate, Hillary come comment, you know under me, this 1050 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened. He said, Yeah, you'd be in jail. 1051 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,400 Speaker 1: Remember that, what did he do when he got elected? 1052 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,960 Speaker 1: Did his DOJ go after Hillary Clinton? It did not, 1053 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,600 Speaker 1: and President Trump when asked about it, he said, well, 1054 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:25,640 Speaker 1: you know, let's just let's just move on. And yet 1055 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,640 Speaker 1: you have people like ilan Omar and others suggesting that 1056 01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:36,440 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is engaging in totalitarianism, he's a dictator, completely 1057 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:41,840 Speaker 1: ignoring what happened under the DOJ when Obama authorized crossfire 1058 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:48,440 Speaker 1: a hurricane, Joe Biden authorizes Arctic frost. Here, for example, 1059 01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 1: is ilan Omar, I understand the weather in Somalia is 1060 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,919 Speaker 1: very nice this time of the year. Number six. 1061 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:59,680 Speaker 8: This is not just an occupation that is satirizing people 1062 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:03,120 Speaker 8: in Minnesota. In Minnesota that live in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, 1063 01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,919 Speaker 8: which way they are comfortable with when the president says 1064 01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:10,280 Speaker 8: he's coming for retribution because they think it's Democrats who 1065 01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:13,280 Speaker 8: voted against the president that he's coming after. But it 1066 01:06:13,440 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 8: is all of Minnesota. When my constituents call for help, 1067 01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 8: we don't ask them who they voted for, because that 1068 01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 8: is what it means to be an elected US representative. 1069 01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 3: So it is appalling. 1070 01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:34,919 Speaker 8: It is appalling for our colleagues on the other side 1071 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:38,920 Speaker 8: of the aisle to be okay for the president to 1072 01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:41,360 Speaker 8: carry out retribution here in Minnesota. 1073 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:47,520 Speaker 1: The law fair against Trump, not a problem. Alvin Bragg 1074 01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,760 Speaker 1: running promising to get Trump, which I think is a 1075 01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:53,080 Speaker 1: violation of the canons of ethics for a prosecutor, not 1076 01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:58,120 Speaker 1: a problem. Alvin Bragg using some cockamami theory that somehow 1077 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:02,400 Speaker 1: the payments to stalmych Armi Daniels was a violation of 1078 01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: federal campaign law and somehow violation of some sort of 1079 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 1: state law. Hillary Clinton, the DNC paid for the Steele dossier, 1080 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,919 Speaker 1: called it what a legal expense? Same thing Donald Trump 1081 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,920 Speaker 1: called the payments of story Ran Daniels. Was she prosecuted, No, 1082 01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,480 Speaker 1: she was not given a slap on the wrist by 1083 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:26,240 Speaker 1: the FEC. Paid a fine, that's it. And then Fawnie 1084 01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 1: Lewis And apparently there was some sort of coordinations between 1085 01:07:29,400 --> 01:07:32,320 Speaker 1: Fannie Lewis and the Biden DOJ. How do we know 1086 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 1: that because Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act 1087 01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 1: to get records on whether or not they had any 1088 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,240 Speaker 1: contacts and a court had to chastise Fonnie Lewis for 1089 01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 1: failing to turn over the records. So apparently there was collusion. 1090 01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:51,520 Speaker 1: Pardon the expression between the Biden DOJ and the Fawnie 1091 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:57,320 Speaker 1: Lewis investigation claiming that Donald Trump somehow was engaging in 1092 01:07:57,360 --> 01:07:59,800 Speaker 1: election interference by asking the Secretary of State to find 1093 01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:03,439 Speaker 1: a seven hundred vous He'd say, steal them. He said, 1094 01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: make sure you haven't overlooked them. And Trump was investigated 1095 01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:11,040 Speaker 1: for that. Now that investigation has gone nowhere. And then 1096 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:16,519 Speaker 1: you had the document's investigation. Biden had more documents in 1097 01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:20,599 Speaker 1: more places, and because at the time he was not president, 1098 01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:23,880 Speaker 1: he didn't have the authority to declassify them the way 1099 01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 1: Trump did, and he apparently got them when he was 1100 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,840 Speaker 1: in the Senate at a skiff where you can't even 1101 01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:32,720 Speaker 1: bring in a pencil or a pen let alone take 1102 01:08:32,760 --> 01:08:36,600 Speaker 1: out documents, which he clearly did. What happened well, the 1103 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,920 Speaker 1: Special Council said that Biden was an elderly man with 1104 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 1: the poor memory, and therefore we're not going to bring 1105 01:08:42,439 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 1: any charges against him. That's the only reason the ones 1106 01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:49,160 Speaker 1: were dump against Trump. How are you going to justify that? 1107 01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:53,880 Speaker 1: And then the January sixth thing, Jack Smith investigating whether 1108 01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:56,599 Speaker 1: or not or another prosecutor investigating whether or not Donald 1109 01:08:56,600 --> 01:09:01,320 Speaker 1: Trump engaged in an insurrection. Supreme Court or said there's 1110 01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:04,839 Speaker 1: a distinction between official duties and unofficial duties, and complaining 1111 01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:07,800 Speaker 1: about an election, complaining that maybe an election wasn't fair, 1112 01:09:10,600 --> 01:09:13,519 Speaker 1: that was not a violation of the law. And then 1113 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 1: again they completely ignore the man said I want you 1114 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,640 Speaker 1: to peacefully and patriotically make your voices. Heard something that 1115 01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:24,600 Speaker 1: the British BBC did not include when they did a 1116 01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 1: piece on Donald Trump, so called insurrection, and they had 1117 01:09:28,840 --> 01:09:34,840 Speaker 1: to apologize. These people are just too much. And again 1118 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,840 Speaker 1: Trump comes in to office after having rally after rally 1119 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:43,160 Speaker 1: after rally where he was engaging in chance or hearing chance, 1120 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 1: lock her up, lock her up, did absolutely nothing because 1121 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,040 Speaker 1: he felt that there were bigger fish to fry, but 1122 01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:59,559 Speaker 1: not these guys. This is incredible, And had the president 1123 01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 1: not been reelected, had Republicans not taking control of the House, 1124 01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,080 Speaker 1: we never would have known about this. Had Elon Musk 1125 01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 1: not purchased x, we never would have known about the 1126 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,880 Speaker 1: suppression of descent over COVID. We never would have learned 1127 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:20,120 Speaker 1: about the collusion between the social media platforms and the DOJ. 1128 01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:25,479 Speaker 1: This is how close we've come to not knowing about 1129 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:31,400 Speaker 1: any of this. Had the computer store owner not copied 1130 01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:33,679 Speaker 1: the hundred Biden laptop. We never would have known about 1131 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,400 Speaker 1: that either. Now you know, one of the most rewarding 1132 01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,160 Speaker 1: parts of sharing Relief Factor with you all is hearing 1133 01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,519 Speaker 1: real stories like Sandra's. She tells us. I've been hearing 1134 01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:45,040 Speaker 1: about Relief Factor on the radio for a couple of years, 1135 01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,720 Speaker 1: and I finally decided to try it because nothing else 1136 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,719 Speaker 1: was helping my back pain. With a three week quick start, 1137 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,000 Speaker 1: she says, I went for it. Now I feel like 1138 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,479 Speaker 1: a brand new person. Now this is Sandra in her 1139 01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:58,360 Speaker 1: own words, and it's so gratifying to hear.

Klaus, do not leave town. 1148 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 13: How many more rests do we think we're gonna see nationwide? 1149 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,080 Speaker 13: I mean, look, I think we have a fraud problem 1150 01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,520 Speaker 13: that is much worse in California than it is in Minnesota. 1151 01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,320 Speaker 13: I was talking actually to our small business administrator. I 1152 01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:45,679 Speaker 13: think she's found probably half a billion dollars a fraud 1153 01:11:45,720 --> 01:11:49,320 Speaker 13: of Minneapolis and the broader Minnesota area. I think she's 1154 01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:52,240 Speaker 13: found seven billion dollars with a fraud in California. So 1155 01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:55,640 Speaker 13: this is unfortunately a problem that is much bigger than Minnesota. 1156 01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:00,080 Speaker 13: But it's also it highlights how absurd this effort to 1157 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:04,759 Speaker 13: prevent the immigration enforcement is. If you look at blue states, 1158 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:08,920 Speaker 13: blue cities. You look at Memphis, Tennessee not a Republican mayor. 1159 01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,960 Speaker 13: You look at red states like Texas, but blue cities 1160 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,960 Speaker 13: like Austin, you do not see this level of chaos 1161 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 13: over the enforcement and of our immigration laws. What you 1162 01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,559 Speaker 13: have is a small band of very far left people 1163 01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,640 Speaker 13: who are doing everything that they can up to and 1164 01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:29,000 Speaker 13: including assaulting law enforcement officers and raiding churches to try 1165 01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 13: to make Ice out to be the ultimate enemy and 1166 01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:35,519 Speaker 13: to kind of engage in this weird, small scale civil 1167 01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,479 Speaker 13: war against federal immigration law. 1168 01:12:37,800 --> 01:12:38,479 Speaker 6: It's absurd. 1169 01:12:38,760 --> 01:12:41,200 Speaker 13: It's added a lot of chaos here in Minneapolis, and 1170 01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,320 Speaker 13: it's one of the problems. Why I'm here to fix it? 1171 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:48,160 Speaker 1: Ge Triple Late nine seven one seven two four to three. 1172 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 1: I am Larry Elda.

In case you thought 1213 01:15:23,600 --> 01:15:25,519 Speaker 1: that Trump the major in syndrome was something that was 1214 01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:30,000 Speaker 1: localized to the United States, it has metastasized throughout the world, 1215 01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:35,439 Speaker 1: as we witnessed in Davos. We spoke earlier this week 1216 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:40,360 Speaker 1: with a writer from Ireland, John Waters, who says, you 1217 01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,880 Speaker 1: can't even have a conversation in Ireland where you say 1218 01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:47,439 Speaker 1: something positive about Trump without being denounced. We're going to 1219 01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:51,360 Speaker 1: talk about that later on, but as you know, the 1220 01:15:51,720 --> 01:15:55,439 Speaker 1: city's church in Saint Paul was invaded by a bunch 1221 01:15:55,520 --> 01:16:00,559 Speaker 1: of anti ice protesters. Even HAKEM. Jeffreys, then already leader 1222 01:16:00,600 --> 01:16:04,960 Speaker 1: in the House, said that churches should be off limits 1223 01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 1: number forty four. 1224 01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:14,679 Speaker 7: I haven't followed that particular situation, so I'm not really 1225 01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:17,920 Speaker 7: in a position to comment on the specifics there. What 1226 01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:22,920 Speaker 7: I will say is, as someone myself who's grown up 1227 01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,479 Speaker 7: in the Baptist Church, continue to be an active member 1228 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:31,679 Speaker 7: at the Cornerstone Baptist Church, come from a deeply religious community, 1229 01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:37,679 Speaker 7: I think across the board we all should respect houses 1230 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:48,519 Speaker 7: of worship, churches, synagogues, moss temples. Let's all respect houses 1231 01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:52,479 Speaker 7: of worship. We can agree to disagree on a whole 1232 01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:57,439 Speaker 7: host of issues, and we should disagree strongly with the 1233 01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:01,840 Speaker 7: extremism that we're seeing unleashed on the Amyria people by 1234 01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:05,960 Speaker 7: Donald Trump his administration, the attacks on healthcare, the attacks 1235 01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:09,479 Speaker 7: on the economy, and the attacks on law abiding immigrant families. 1236 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:15,360 Speaker 7: We should disagree with those things with righteous indignation and 1237 01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:17,560 Speaker 7: not being familiar with the specifics of what may have 1238 01:17:17,680 --> 01:17:20,160 Speaker 7: happened in Minneapolis. 1239 01:17:20,200 --> 01:17:22,800 Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's that's enough. So I'm not sure what 1240 01:17:22,840 --> 01:17:24,960 Speaker 1: happened in Minneapolis. I really can't talk on it, but 1241 01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:27,400 Speaker 1: I do know that Donald Trump has been attacking health 1242 01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 1: care and attacking the economy, so it didn't take long 1243 01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:36,200 Speaker 1: to pivot pivot towards Trump derangement syndrome. Similarly, Gavin Newsom, 1244 01:17:36,280 --> 01:17:39,760 Speaker 1: the California governor in Davos, was asked about Don Lemon 1245 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,840 Speaker 1: being with this group of anti protesters. He too didn't 1246 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,760 Speaker 1: seem to know anything about it, although he did say 1247 01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:48,000 Speaker 1: at a church number fifty three. 1248 01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,400 Speaker 2: It's a remarkable success. 1249 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 10: I'm run to Charlie. I was obviously, you know, I 1250 01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:08,160 Speaker 10: probays appreciate your interview. Quick question you mentioned in Aneapolis. 1251 01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 17: Any comments on this Don Lemon charging those guys into 1252 01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:11,800 Speaker 17: the church like that. 1253 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:16,400 Speaker 1: I literally it's funny. Someone mentioned Don Lemon and Trump 1254 01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,000 Speaker 1: the other day. And so I have no idea what that. 1255 01:18:18,080 --> 01:18:19,240 Speaker 6: Is like, big viral story. 1256 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 10: He had, the bunch of agitators. 1257 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:23,920 Speaker 3: They ran into some kind of church, John don Lemon, 1258 01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:24,559 Speaker 3: into a church. 1259 01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:29,360 Speaker 2: Yes, even no, it's not even this focus literally in 1260 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:30,120 Speaker 2: the aday about it. 1261 01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:35,880 Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, it's great. I know nothing about it. 1262 01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:37,880 Speaker 1: Someone mentioned it the other day. Well didn't you ask 1263 01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:40,639 Speaker 1: about it? Didn't you get briefed on it. They don't 1264 01:18:40,640 --> 01:18:42,200 Speaker 1: want to talk about it because it makes their side 1265 01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,519 Speaker 1: look bad. But even he had to say in a church. 1266 01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:49,639 Speaker 1: My guest is the former pastor of the church in question, 1267 01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: City's Church in Saint Paul.

What was your reaction. 1279 01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:33,880 Speaker 10: I was shocked. 1280 01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:37,280 Speaker 27: You know, we were actually in church out here in Idaho, 1281 01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,000 Speaker 27: and you know I helped to plant this church about 1282 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:43,240 Speaker 27: eleven years ago. This was actually eleventh eleventh anniversary of 1283 01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:47,200 Speaker 27: the church. Was this last Sunday. And so my wife 1284 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,679 Speaker 27: and I were beginning to get text messages from people 1285 01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:52,840 Speaker 27: we know saying there's something happening at your old church. 1286 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:54,960 Speaker 27: And then when you come out and you find out 1287 01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 27: what it is, and that people have have brazenly and 1288 01:19:57,960 --> 01:20:01,800 Speaker 27: with in a coordinated way, not an overflow of a 1289 01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 27: protest that got out of hand, but a deliberate, intentional 1290 01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:10,320 Speaker 27: planned with media involvement, invaded in the middle of a service, 1291 01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:13,720 Speaker 27: gone in, sat down, listened to the first half of 1292 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,040 Speaker 27: the service, and then all of a sudden, after a prayer, 1293 01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:21,280 Speaker 27: stand up and began shouting slogans, yelling at the congregants, 1294 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:26,479 Speaker 27: frightening children, intimidating everybody in sight. It was quite frankly shocking. 1295 01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:28,400 Speaker 27: And so then as I saw it unfold, and more 1296 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,800 Speaker 27: and more video begins to come out of just the 1297 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 27: chaos and the and it was. I was appalled, and 1298 01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,920 Speaker 27: although I was encouraged by the pastor of the church 1299 01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,519 Speaker 27: as a friend of mine, seeing him stand there and 1300 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:45,479 Speaker 27: say shame on you to those who would disrupt the 1301 01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,960 Speaker 27: worship of God on a Sunday morning, to answer hostile 1302 01:20:50,040 --> 01:20:53,679 Speaker 27: questions from Don Lemon saying isn't this a great example 1303 01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:57,160 Speaker 27: of people's First Amendment rights. They're just exercising their First 1304 01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 27: Amendment rights. No, they're they're disrupting the exercise of First 1305 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,000 Speaker 27: the rights. The First Amendment protects the right to gather 1306 01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:05,400 Speaker 27: to a symbol freedom of religion, and these people are saying, no, 1307 01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:07,639 Speaker 27: you don't get to do that on Sunday morning, because 1308 01:21:07,680 --> 01:21:11,040 Speaker 27: we're going to intrude politics into your worship service in 1309 01:21:11,200 --> 01:21:13,479 Speaker 27: order to intimidate you, in order to frighten you, in 1310 01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:17,200 Speaker 27: order to scare anyone connected in any way with law enforcement. 1311 01:21:17,720 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 27: So it was appalling, and I'm grateful that now some 1312 01:21:21,080 --> 01:21:23,960 Speaker 27: of those folks are have being arrested, and I hope 1313 01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,599 Speaker 27: that we continue to see more. Even what Hakim Jeffries 1314 01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 27: said there, that's one of the first times I've seen 1315 01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:33,160 Speaker 27: a democratic politician just flat out condemned this is off limits. 1316 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,240 Speaker 10: Whatever disagreements we may have. This is off limits. 1317 01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 1: I think it's probably the first time I've ever agreed 1318 01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 1: with Hakim Jeffries. We have a lot to talk about pastor. 1319 01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:45,519 Speaker 1: But first, allegedly the pastor is a member of ICE 1320 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:48,000 Speaker 1: or somehow it's affiliated with ICE. Whether that's true or 1321 01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,840 Speaker 1: not is irrelevant. But is it true. 1322 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,920 Speaker 27: Yeah, one of the lay elders of the church is 1323 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,120 Speaker 27: in law enforcement. He works for ICE. He's worked for 1324 01:21:56,200 --> 01:21:59,519 Speaker 27: ICE for over twenty years through multiple administrations. He's a 1325 01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,560 Speaker 27: faithful man, he's a husband, he's a father, he's a 1326 01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:05,200 Speaker 27: really good man. And he every every day he goes 1327 01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,439 Speaker 27: to work, puts his life on the line in order 1328 01:22:07,479 --> 01:22:12,040 Speaker 27: to remove violent criminals from the streets, rapists, murderers. 1329 01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:13,479 Speaker 10: That's why he does it. 1330 01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,320 Speaker 27: He wants to keep people safe, he wants to love 1331 01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,639 Speaker 27: his neighbors, and and he does it with professionalism and character. 1332 01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,680 Speaker 27: And then this was an escalation, as we've seen on 1333 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:26,360 Speaker 27: these agitators seek to hinder law enforcement and the carrying 1334 01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:27,040 Speaker 27: out of their duties. 1335 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 10: That wasn't enough. 1336 01:22:28,160 --> 01:22:30,080 Speaker 27: It wasn't enough to protest that a government building. It 1337 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:33,120 Speaker 27: wasn't enough to hinder law enforcement when they're out there. Instead, No, 1338 01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:34,880 Speaker 27: we're gonna follow you to church. We're gonna figure out 1339 01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:36,560 Speaker 27: where you go to church, and then we're gonna go 1340 01:22:36,600 --> 01:22:38,519 Speaker 27: and we're gonna intimidate your family. We're gonna try to 1341 01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:41,160 Speaker 27: frighten your children. That's that's what this was about. And 1342 01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:45,160 Speaker 27: it's it's absolutely beyond the Have you spoken with him, 1343 01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,280 Speaker 27: I've not spoken with the lay pastor. I have spoken 1344 01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:52,120 Speaker 27: with the senior pastor who's been in many of the 1345 01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:56,120 Speaker 27: videos and that was in their act. I've spoken with him. 1346 01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:58,240 Speaker 27: And at this point, you know, they put out a 1347 01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:02,360 Speaker 27: statement a few days ago condemning this, reiterating the mission 1348 01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:04,560 Speaker 27: of their church, which is the mission of you know, 1349 01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:06,880 Speaker 27: hundreds and thousands of churches across this country. We want 1350 01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 27: to worship Jesus, spread the gospel of our neighbors. That's 1351 01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:11,880 Speaker 27: what this church is about. It's not a political church. 1352 01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,439 Speaker 27: There's not a political rally being held there. So they've 1353 01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,800 Speaker 27: reiterated that, and you know, largely they're just trying to 1354 01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:18,800 Speaker 27: care for their flock and then prepared, is this is 1355 01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:19,240 Speaker 27: this over? 1356 01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:21,280 Speaker 10: Is it going to happen again? Is this is the 1357 01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:23,120 Speaker 10: Left going to continue to escalate in this way? 1358 01:23:23,360 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 27: So they're trying to care for their flock, and and 1359 01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:29,320 Speaker 27: so I'm hopeful that that maybe maybe we've reached a 1360 01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,720 Speaker 27: tipping point and people will will step back from that ledge. 1361 01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:36,080 Speaker 1: You probably have heard the Attorney General, Keith Ellison say that, well, 1362 01:23:36,280 --> 01:23:38,840 Speaker 1: these people had a First Amendment right to do what 1363 01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,840 Speaker 1: they did, even though it appears to be a violation 1364 01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:43,760 Speaker 1: of both federal law and Minnesota law. 1365 01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:47,920 Speaker 27: That's that's correct, and the idea, I mean, I just 1366 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:51,280 Speaker 27: can't imagine a state official saying, you know what's in 1367 01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,200 Speaker 27: bounds now. I mean, I if this was any other 1368 01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,400 Speaker 27: kind of church, I like, if this was a if 1369 01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:57,320 Speaker 27: this was a black church and a group of white 1370 01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:59,479 Speaker 27: supremacists came in not to harm anybody, but just to 1371 01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,120 Speaker 27: yell and timidate. Do you think that Gavin Newsom would 1372 01:24:02,120 --> 01:24:04,040 Speaker 27: have heard about it? Do you think that Kim Jefferies 1373 01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:06,600 Speaker 27: would be so nonchalant a matter of course not, of 1374 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,280 Speaker 27: course not. They'd recognize that if it was other, if 1375 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,639 Speaker 27: it was people on their side. But all of a sudden, 1376 01:24:11,760 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 27: because this guy's in law enforcement, all of a sudden, 1377 01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:16,280 Speaker 27: not only him, but anybody associated with him is fair 1378 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:17,360 Speaker 27: game on a Sunday morning. 1379 01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:19,320 Speaker 10: That's just absolutely ridiculous. 1380 01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 27: I've also seen other legislators in Minnesota actually say this 1381 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,600 Speaker 27: was essential to the cause and it will continue, so 1382 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,160 Speaker 27: calls from legislators to continue to do it. 1383 01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,920 Speaker 10: Obviously, one of the women who was leading. 1384 01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:35,639 Speaker 27: The agitation, the invasion was a member of the Saint 1385 01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:36,439 Speaker 27: Paul's school board. 1386 01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,639 Speaker 10: So this is elected officials who. 1387 01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:41,120 Speaker 27: Think this is now inbounds in America to harass people 1388 01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:45,360 Speaker 27: and disrupt the worship of God for these political purposes. 1389 01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:48,120 Speaker 1: Patter, when we have about thirty seconds left in this segment, 1390 01:24:48,439 --> 01:24:52,000 Speaker 1: can you imagine these anti ice protesters doing this at 1391 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 1: say a mosque. 1392 01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,599 Speaker 27: Absolutely not. There's no way, there's no way, know how 1393 01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:00,400 Speaker 27: that they would ever do that something like that. It's 1394 01:25:00,600 --> 01:25:02,960 Speaker 27: it's a unique assault on the on the rule of law, 1395 01:25:03,280 --> 01:25:05,799 Speaker 27: and the Christians who are insisting at the law be enforced. 1396 01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,760 Speaker 1: Pastor we come back. I want to ask you, is 1397 01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,800 Speaker 1: this a new dimension. I've never seen protesters barge into 1398 01:25:12,840 --> 01:25:15,799 Speaker 1: a church service before. I've seen people protests at museums. 1399 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,600 Speaker 1: I've seen people protest in Congress and stand up and 1400 01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:21,800 Speaker 1: hold science. I've seen protests everywhere. I've never seen people 1401 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:25,160 Speaker 1: barge into a service and began protesting and making demands. 1402 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,760 Speaker 1: I want to ask you Are we at a new 1403 01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:29,000 Speaker 1: level here in the country? Triple eight nine seven one 1404 01:25:29,080 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 1: seven two four to three. My guest is Pastor Joe Wrigney, 1405 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:44,840 Speaker 1: the former pastor at City's Church in Saint Paul. Triple 1406 01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,599 Speaker 1: eight nine seven one Sage Triple eight nine seven one 1407 01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,800 Speaker 1: seven two four to three Larry Older, Salem NewsChannel. My 1408 01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:55,400 Speaker 1: guess it's a former pastor at City's Church in Saint Paul. Pastor, 1409 01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:59,240 Speaker 1: are we at a new level of protests in America 1410 01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:02,519 Speaker 1: where people feel brazen enough to borage into a church 1411 01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 1: service and began protesting. I've not seen that before, have you. 1412 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:08,200 Speaker 10: I've not seen it before. 1413 01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,120 Speaker 27: But what I have seen, I think over the we've 1414 01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:11,960 Speaker 27: seen this over the last you know, ten twenty years, 1415 01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:20,439 Speaker 27: is escalating collisions between conservative Christians and wider leftist America. 1416 01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:23,960 Speaker 27: And so whether we're talking about legal harassment, if someone 1417 01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,160 Speaker 27: won't make a cake celebrating a gay wedding, things like that. 1418 01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:28,760 Speaker 10: So you've got the law fair dimension of this. 1419 01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:31,800 Speaker 27: But I think even in the last few years, whether 1420 01:26:31,920 --> 01:26:35,920 Speaker 27: it was the trans shooting in Nashville of a Christian 1421 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:42,519 Speaker 27: school last year in Minnesota, another trans individual shot up 1422 01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,680 Speaker 27: a Catholic mass and so I think churches in this 1423 01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,960 Speaker 27: day and age have had to adjust and think we 1424 01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,479 Speaker 27: need to have a security plan. But I think it's 1425 01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:55,360 Speaker 27: largely centered on shooters on an active shooting situation. This 1426 01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:58,320 Speaker 27: was a different kind of thing because it was a 1427 01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 27: large crowd of people, it was planned and coordinated for 1428 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,200 Speaker 27: media exposure. It was loud, it was proud, It wasn't 1429 01:27:05,240 --> 01:27:07,680 Speaker 27: done in a corner. It was designed to get on 1430 01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,600 Speaker 27: the news. So I do think it's an escalation in 1431 01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,679 Speaker 27: our context, But quite frankly, I take courage and comfort 1432 01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,840 Speaker 27: from the scriptures. This is the sort of thing that 1433 01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,280 Speaker 27: does happen in the Bible. The Book of Acts is 1434 01:27:19,320 --> 01:27:23,280 Speaker 27: filled with this sort of thing, riots, mobs, threats against 1435 01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:29,479 Speaker 27: Christian leaders, government complicity or encouragement or ineptitude. 1436 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:29,479 Speaker 10: In the face of it. 1437 01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:32,120 Speaker 27: So this is not new in the history of Christianity, 1438 01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:34,200 Speaker 27: and I think that's a great comfort for us as 1439 01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:36,559 Speaker 27: Christians to be able to say, we've been here before, 1440 01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:40,120 Speaker 27: and we should seek God's help to do for us 1441 01:27:40,200 --> 01:27:41,840 Speaker 27: what He did in the early Church was, which was 1442 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,040 Speaker 27: to strengthen them to continue to preach the word of 1443 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,320 Speaker 27: God with boldness, to stand firm, to love their neighbors. 1444 01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:50,040 Speaker 27: That's what we need to do as Christians, but it 1445 01:27:50,160 --> 01:27:52,479 Speaker 27: is unprecedented I think in recent American history. 1446 01:27:52,720 --> 01:27:54,920 Speaker 1: Pastor, I suspect that most of these people who were 1447 01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:57,479 Speaker 1: protesting had not set foot in a church in years. 1448 01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:00,400 Speaker 1: So maybe that's the silver lining. But I want to 1449 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:04,080 Speaker 1: ask you about this. About a third of Americans said 1450 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:07,040 Speaker 1: that they wish the would be assassin in Butler, Pennsylvania 1451 01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,960 Speaker 1: had been successful. This is not the way Christians think. 1452 01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,960 Speaker 1: Christians don't think like that, don't reason like that. I 1453 01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:16,880 Speaker 1: believe a lot of the hatred towards one side toward 1454 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,120 Speaker 1: the other comes from a perspective of people who are 1455 01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:23,880 Speaker 1: not Christians do not understand that Christians do not hate 1456 01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,880 Speaker 1: the way that side, in my opinion, hates our side. 1457 01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:30,200 Speaker 1: We think that they're wrong, ill informed, may be indoctrinated, 1458 01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:33,120 Speaker 1: but we don't hate the other side. I believe. I'm 1459 01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:35,160 Speaker 1: not speaking for every single person, obviously, but the other 1460 01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,920 Speaker 1: side has a large number of people that literally hate 1461 01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:40,560 Speaker 1: you because of the way you think it hates you 1462 01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:41,880 Speaker 1: because you voted for Donald Trump. 1463 01:28:44,040 --> 01:28:46,719 Speaker 27: Yeah, I do think that there is a fundamental difference. 1464 01:28:46,760 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 27: I think that's a hard thing for some Christians to accept. 1465 01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:50,640 Speaker 27: I think a lot of Christians would really like it 1466 01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,360 Speaker 27: to live in a country where there's a common moral foundation, 1467 01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 27: there's a common culture and a common faith that underlies it. 1468 01:28:57,920 --> 01:29:00,519 Speaker 27: And then our debates, our political debates are over marginal 1469 01:29:00,640 --> 01:29:03,519 Speaker 27: tax rates and things like that, what size of government 1470 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,560 Speaker 27: we should have, or things. But we're not in that 1471 01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:09,839 Speaker 27: kind of situation. We're in a fundamental worldview collision between 1472 01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,400 Speaker 27: those who want to promote lawlessness, who think that borders 1473 01:29:12,439 --> 01:29:15,160 Speaker 27: are optional, who think that unborn children can be slaughtered 1474 01:29:15,160 --> 01:29:17,639 Speaker 27: in the womb, that men can become women and women 1475 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:20,400 Speaker 27: can become men, that we can trans the kids. That's 1476 01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,080 Speaker 27: one side, and then there's another side that believes, as 1477 01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:26,080 Speaker 27: in the entirety of Western civilization is embraced for two 1478 01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,760 Speaker 27: thousand years, that God is God, that he made us 1479 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:31,360 Speaker 27: male and female, that unborn life should be protected, that 1480 01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:33,840 Speaker 27: borders are good, that law should be enforced. And so 1481 01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:37,200 Speaker 27: it is really difficult to have normal political debates when 1482 01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:40,200 Speaker 27: the differences are that stark. And so at one level, 1483 01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:42,680 Speaker 27: this is what I've been saying all week long, is 1484 01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,120 Speaker 27: that there really is a choice before us. It's Christ 1485 01:29:45,240 --> 01:29:49,519 Speaker 27: or chaos. That is the fundamental choice facing America today 1486 01:29:49,920 --> 01:29:52,960 Speaker 27: is will we turn to Christ. Will we turn back 1487 01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 27: to the Lord, back to God. Will we humble ourselves 1488 01:29:55,400 --> 01:29:58,439 Speaker 27: before him, repent of our sins, accept his forgiveness? And 1489 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,839 Speaker 27: then from there, I think we can and have fruitful 1490 01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:04,559 Speaker 27: political debates about various governmental things or political things, all 1491 01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:07,400 Speaker 27: of that's in bounds. But if we don't do that, 1492 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,240 Speaker 27: then what we're going to continue to see is increasing lawlessness, 1493 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:14,800 Speaker 27: increasing chaos, and increasing disorder, increasing hostility, because that's what 1494 01:30:14,960 --> 01:30:16,920 Speaker 27: human beings do, apart from the grace of God. 1495 01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:20,519 Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, I'm old enough, Pastor to remember nineteen 1496 01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,880 Speaker 1: eighty four, a conservative every bit as conservative as Donald 1497 01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:28,519 Speaker 1: Trump on the fiscal side, one re election forty nine 1498 01:30:28,640 --> 01:30:31,599 Speaker 1: states to one. The only one who lost with Minnesota. 1499 01:30:31,600 --> 01:30:33,880 Speaker 1: He lost it by a few thousand votes. Can you 1500 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,759 Speaker 1: imagine a country where somebody like Donald Trump wins forty 1501 01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:41,680 Speaker 1: nine states and only loses one. How far have we 1502 01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:45,000 Speaker 1: gone from that time in American history? Pastor? 1503 01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,120 Speaker 27: It's absolutely true, and I think it is rooted in 1504 01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:52,559 Speaker 27: an abandonment of God. Like when you turn away from God, 1505 01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:56,160 Speaker 27: nothing holds together. And what we're seeing today is as 1506 01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:59,519 Speaker 27: a result, you have the chaos in the streets. We 1507 01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:01,519 Speaker 27: have the chaos that we you know, many Minnesota's been 1508 01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:04,599 Speaker 27: through it. I was there in twenty twenty after George 1509 01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:08,360 Speaker 27: Floyd died and the riots took over. Every gas station 1510 01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,360 Speaker 27: within two miles of my house was burned to the ground. 1511 01:31:11,400 --> 01:31:14,280 Speaker 27: We had to drive and you know, far away to 1512 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,160 Speaker 27: even just get gas, and you couldn't go to certain 1513 01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 27: neighborhoods because they were no go zones. And so this 1514 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,680 Speaker 27: is an increasing tactic, and it's it's almost entirely on 1515 01:31:21,800 --> 01:31:25,040 Speaker 27: the left. You don't after Charlie Kirk was assassinated last 1516 01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:28,720 Speaker 27: fall by a leftist because because, like Stephen in the 1517 01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,360 Speaker 27: in the Book of Acts, he was an evangelist who 1518 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:33,920 Speaker 27: wanted to honor God, who wanted to you know, call 1519 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,479 Speaker 27: people to Christ, leave a legacy, have kids, rebuild your country. 1520 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,840 Speaker 27: That was his message, and that was intolerable and so 1521 01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:43,560 Speaker 27: a leftist assassinated him. But after that, what did Christians do? 1522 01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:45,560 Speaker 27: Did we riot in the streets. Did we take to 1523 01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:48,160 Speaker 27: the streets to assault people. Did we go to the 1524 01:31:48,479 --> 01:31:52,120 Speaker 27: liberal churches, to progressive churches and demand that they denounce 1525 01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:54,960 Speaker 27: anybody associated with the LGBTQ movement? 1526 01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:55,439 Speaker 10: Of course not. 1527 01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:56,120 Speaker 9: What did we do? 1528 01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:59,120 Speaker 10: We gathered to pray, We gathered to have worship services. 1529 01:31:59,160 --> 01:32:01,080 Speaker 27: We gathered to honor God, to thank him for the 1530 01:32:01,120 --> 01:32:03,280 Speaker 27: gift of Charlie Kirk, and then to get back to 1531 01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,759 Speaker 27: the normal everyday work of raising our families and educating 1532 01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:09,200 Speaker 27: our children and seeking the good of our neighbors, because 1533 01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:11,960 Speaker 27: that's what Christians do. And so this really is again 1534 01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:14,960 Speaker 27: a fundamental choice about which direction America will go. And 1535 01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:18,360 Speaker 27: I'm hopeful and I'm praying, as all Christians are around 1536 01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:20,120 Speaker 27: the country, that God would be kind to us, and 1537 01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:22,240 Speaker 27: he would pour out grace and mercy upon us so 1538 01:32:22,280 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 27: that we would turn back to Him and we would 1539 01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,240 Speaker 27: avert the disaster that we seem to be heading towards. 1540 01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:28,680 Speaker 1: Pastor we have about two minutes left. Thank you so 1541 01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,599 Speaker 1: much for joining me. I can't quite remember exactly how 1542 01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:35,320 Speaker 1: Tim Kane, the former vice presidential candidate, phrased it, but 1543 01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:39,360 Speaker 1: somebody was talking about America being a Christian nation founded 1544 01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,200 Speaker 1: into Dao Christian values and he said, no, that's a theocracy. 1545 01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:44,920 Speaker 1: He got hammered and began backing away from it. But 1546 01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,479 Speaker 1: for the man who almost became vice president, do not 1547 01:32:47,600 --> 01:32:50,599 Speaker 1: understand that America is a Christian nation founded upon Todao 1548 01:32:50,680 --> 01:32:52,559 Speaker 1: Christian values. Was just jaw dropping. 1549 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,280 Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely we were. We absolutely were. 1550 01:32:56,360 --> 01:33:00,280 Speaker 27: The founding fathers were overwhelmingly Christian, and they were the 1551 01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,200 Speaker 27: kind of Christians who believed things, who believed in fundamental. 1552 01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 10: Moral order in the universe. 1553 01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,560 Speaker 27: They could leave room for denominational They didn't want to 1554 01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:10,280 Speaker 27: fight over are you a Baptist or you a Presbyterian? 1555 01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:11,920 Speaker 27: Are you an Anglican? And that that was not what 1556 01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,000 Speaker 27: they wanted to fight about. But they did want a country. 1557 01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:16,920 Speaker 27: As John Adams said, our constitution was built for a 1558 01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:20,080 Speaker 27: moral and religious people. It's unfit for any other kind. 1559 01:33:20,200 --> 01:33:22,560 Speaker 27: And so this is the challenge before us is we 1560 01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:26,639 Speaker 27: have these amazing governing documents that we've twisted and corrupted, 1561 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:28,560 Speaker 27: at least the left is twisted and corrupted over the 1562 01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:29,439 Speaker 27: last two hundred years. 1563 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:31,960 Speaker 10: But we have these amazing documents. But what kind of 1564 01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,040 Speaker 10: people are we? What kind of people are we? 1565 01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,960 Speaker 27: Are we the kind of people who tolerate disruptions of 1566 01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,120 Speaker 27: worship services or law enforcement activity? Are we the type 1567 01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:42,280 Speaker 27: of people who kill are on our children? Are we 1568 01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,679 Speaker 27: the type of people who seek to mutilate our children? 1569 01:33:44,760 --> 01:33:46,600 Speaker 27: What kind of people are we as Americans? And I 1570 01:33:46,640 --> 01:33:48,200 Speaker 27: think that's again the question that we have to ask 1571 01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:49,760 Speaker 27: what kind of people will we be? Will we be 1572 01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:53,040 Speaker 27: God honoring, God varing people, or or will we follow 1573 01:33:53,360 --> 01:33:54,360 Speaker 27: the left into the abyss. 1574 01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:57,960 Speaker 1: We have twenty seconds left. Answer your own question, pastor, 1575 01:33:58,080 --> 01:33:58,559 Speaker 1: what do you think? 1576 01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:01,759 Speaker 10: I am hopeful. 1577 01:34:02,040 --> 01:34:04,120 Speaker 27: I gotta say that, Larry. I am hopeful that God 1578 01:34:04,160 --> 01:34:06,080 Speaker 27: will pour out his mercy. He's done it before. There 1579 01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,280 Speaker 27: have been revivals, there have been awakenings in this country. 1580 01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:10,680 Speaker 27: There have been those things to bring us back from 1581 01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:12,519 Speaker 27: the edge. And so I'm hopeful that God will do it, 1582 01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:14,720 Speaker 27: and every Christian should continue to pray that he does. 1583 01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:16,800 Speaker 1: Pactor Joe Rigney, thank you so much for taking the time. 1584 01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:18,760 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. God bless thanks that. 1585 01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:20,200 Speaker 10: Larry, thank you few. 1586 01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:39,840 Speaker 1: Triple eight nine seven one s A g E triple 1587 01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:41,720 Speaker 1: eight nine seven one seven two four three. I am 1588 01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:44,439 Speaker 1: Larry Older. We are sailing the news channel brought to 1589 01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:46,599 Speaker 1: you from the Relief Factor Studio. Don't forget your Relief 1590 01:34:46,640 --> 01:34:49,160 Speaker 1: Factor eight hundred four Relief eight hundred the number four 1591 01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:52,439 Speaker 1: relief or reliefaftor dot com. That's Relief Factor dot com. 1592 01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:55,280 Speaker 1: We spent some time a few days ago with Irish 1593 01:34:55,479 --> 01:35:04,560 Speaker 1: writer conservative John Waters. He told us that the contempt 1594 01:35:05,320 --> 01:35:09,600 Speaker 1: for Donald Trump in Ireland is so intense that you 1595 01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:14,640 Speaker 1: can't even say something mildly positive about Donald Trump in 1596 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:21,000 Speaker 1: a social setting without being attacked. And he made reference 1597 01:35:21,080 --> 01:35:25,479 Speaker 1: to the Irish Times editorial around the time of the 1598 01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:28,240 Speaker 1: election of Trump two point zero some way back, and 1599 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:33,840 Speaker 1: I looked at it. Here's the first sentence. For the 1600 01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:37,680 Speaker 1: third time in eight years, the US stands at a 1601 01:35:38,439 --> 01:35:44,080 Speaker 1: faithful crossroads. Should he win next Tuesday's election, donald Trump 1602 01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:46,880 Speaker 1: will make history as only the second president since the 1603 01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:54,160 Speaker 1: country's founding to serve two non consecutive terms. And then 1604 01:35:54,240 --> 01:35:57,080 Speaker 1: they go on and give their opinion of mister Trump. 1605 01:35:59,200 --> 01:36:01,280 Speaker 1: This is the last paragraph of this editorial. And again 1606 01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:04,200 Speaker 1: this is editorial, not to be confused with an op 1607 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:06,240 Speaker 1: ed piece. And op ed piece is when somebody writes 1608 01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:09,680 Speaker 1: his or her opinion. This is the opinion of the 1609 01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:24,160 Speaker 1: newspaper itself, by its editorial board. Last paragraph quote. Trump's criminality, venality, misogyny, xenophobia, 1610 01:36:25,000 --> 01:36:31,120 Speaker 1: and psychological instability render him unfit for any office. And 1611 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:34,439 Speaker 1: it is to be fervently hoped that he will fail 1612 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:42,960 Speaker 1: again next Tuesday. But should he do so, the fear, 1613 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:47,599 Speaker 1: resentment and deep disenchantment with the American social contract which 1614 01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:51,799 Speaker 1: had fueled his rise, will surely find new forms of expression, 1615 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:55,760 Speaker 1: which could difficult, though they may be to imagine, prove 1616 01:36:56,280 --> 01:36:59,519 Speaker 1: even darker. In other words, if Trump doesn't win, thankfull, 1617 01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,759 Speaker 1: only going to get it even worse. Says the Irish 1618 01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:06,439 Speaker 1: Times editorial. This is what John Waters and I were 1619 01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:08,280 Speaker 1: talking about number nine. 1620 01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,720 Speaker 28: This is how distorted everything is in our culture. You know, 1621 01:37:13,840 --> 01:37:17,080 Speaker 28: it's hard to explain because it's a hard to be honest. 1622 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:17,639 Speaker 3: You see. 1623 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:19,720 Speaker 28: This is the thing, Larry, that I've found the last 1624 01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:23,960 Speaker 28: two years in Ireland that having lived in this country 1625 01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,880 Speaker 28: all my life I'm seventeen now, and most of that 1626 01:37:28,000 --> 01:37:30,519 Speaker 28: time I would have said we were, you know, maybe 1627 01:37:30,600 --> 01:37:33,600 Speaker 28: a poor country, but an intelligent country. We had a 1628 01:37:33,640 --> 01:37:35,800 Speaker 28: country that was kind of open to discussion. We were 1629 01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:39,400 Speaker 28: very garrulous people. We're very kind of you know, argumentative. 1630 01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:43,400 Speaker 28: That's now stopped, Larry. In the last few years. People 1631 01:37:43,439 --> 01:37:46,280 Speaker 28: are terrified to open their mouths about anything. They're even 1632 01:37:46,400 --> 01:37:50,040 Speaker 28: terrified to have a thought or to smile at something 1633 01:37:50,120 --> 01:37:53,479 Speaker 28: that somebody will make. If somebody makes a joke, you know, 1634 01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:57,920 Speaker 28: in favor of Trump. Impossible actually, but you know, for example, 1635 01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:01,400 Speaker 28: they would not be fate to smile in case somebody 1636 01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:03,400 Speaker 28: would see them and say, why are you smiling at that? 1637 01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:05,200 Speaker 6: Do you like Trump? 1638 01:38:05,880 --> 01:38:06,840 Speaker 28: Is there something wrong with you? 1639 01:38:07,600 --> 01:38:20,400 Speaker 1: Can you believe that? Unbelievable? Trump's criminality, finality, misogyny, xenophobia, 1640 01:38:20,840 --> 01:38:25,560 Speaker 1: and psychological instability render him unfit for any office, And 1641 01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:28,519 Speaker 1: so it had fervently hoped that he will fail again 1642 01:38:29,040 --> 01:38:32,559 Speaker 1: next Tuesday. Back to John Waters number eight. 1643 01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:34,800 Speaker 28: All right, but that's the thing about Trump. 1644 01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:39,439 Speaker 1: See, you know this isn't It's entirely to do with. 1645 01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 28: Prejudice which were spread at an early stage in Trump's 1646 01:38:46,240 --> 01:38:50,120 Speaker 28: first candidacy in twenty fifteen sixteen, that he was like 1647 01:38:50,280 --> 01:38:53,599 Speaker 28: this terrible man. You know, nobody's looked at him since 1648 01:38:53,720 --> 01:38:56,120 Speaker 28: nobody listens to him, nobody looks at what he's doing, 1649 01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:59,719 Speaker 28: nobody asks There is no intelligent conversation about what Trump 1650 01:38:59,800 --> 01:39:02,160 Speaker 28: is about. I mean, it's possible to have an intelligent 1651 01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:05,280 Speaker 28: conversation in which one would criticize Trump, for example, about 1652 01:39:05,320 --> 01:39:08,439 Speaker 28: different things or whatever, in the same way as you 1653 01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:12,280 Speaker 28: would discuss any politician, but that we never do that 1654 01:39:12,400 --> 01:39:14,680 Speaker 28: in Ireland. It's entirely that he is as kind of 1655 01:39:14,720 --> 01:39:19,600 Speaker 28: a diabolical figure and as a kind of a talisman, 1656 01:39:19,800 --> 01:39:22,200 Speaker 28: of something to be avoided at all costs. 1657 01:39:22,439 --> 01:39:25,439 Speaker 1: So you know, so John Trump gets no credit for 1658 01:39:26,240 --> 01:39:29,320 Speaker 1: uh In in three weeks, four weeks securing our border. 1659 01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:30,960 Speaker 1: He gets no credit for that. He gets no credit 1660 01:39:31,080 --> 01:39:36,080 Speaker 1: for nothing, No or negotiating the into the Gaza Israeli 1661 01:39:36,120 --> 01:39:38,639 Speaker 1: war and releasing the hostages and the remains. No credit 1662 01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:41,559 Speaker 1: for any of that. No credit for abolishing three nuclear 1663 01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:43,800 Speaker 1: sites in Iran, no credit for that at all. 1664 01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:47,760 Speaker 28: It's not possible for Trump to do anything good by 1665 01:39:47,800 --> 01:39:48,200 Speaker 28: the Irish. 1666 01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:57,920 Speaker 1: In the Irish mind, un believable. No credit for anything, 1667 01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:04,040 Speaker 1: same thing. That's why this whole affordability thing was called 1668 01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:06,559 Speaker 1: a hoax by Donald Trump. It isn't that people aren't 1669 01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:09,800 Speaker 1: concerned about affordability, it said, He's getting credit for nothing 1670 01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,640 Speaker 1: he's done to improve affordability. Now, you know, one of 1671 01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,880 Speaker 1: the most rewarding parts of sharing Relief Factor with you 1672 01:40:15,960 --> 01:40:19,960 Speaker 1: was hearing real stories like Sharon's. She tells us. I've 1673 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:21,880 Speaker 1: been hearing about relief Factor on the radio for a 1674 01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:24,200 Speaker 1: couple of years, and I finally decided to try it 1675 01:40:24,280 --> 01:40:27,960 Speaker 1: because nothing else was helping my back pain. With a 1676 01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:31,519 Speaker 1: three week quick start, I went for it, she said. Now, 1677 01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,799 Speaker 1: I feel like a new person. That Sandra's own words 1678 01:40:34,960 --> 01:40:39,680 Speaker 1: and just so gratifying to hear. I have a very 1679 01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:45,639 Speaker 1: good friend who was a ranked tennis player plays often 1680 01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:49,080 Speaker 1: use a relief factor every single day. Something he said 1681 01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:52,880 Speaker 1: eases his back pain. I've experienced the same kind of 1682 01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:55,439 Speaker 1: relief myself, which is why I use relief factor every 1683 01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:59,280 Speaker 1: single day. Try it yourself. Three week quick start nineteen 1684 01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:01,920 Speaker 1: dollars ninety five cents, less than a dollar a day. 1685 01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,360 Speaker 1: See how relief factor could be your game changer to 1686 01:41:04,720 --> 01:41:07,439 Speaker 1: eight hundred four relief eight hundred to number four relief 1687 01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:30,960 Speaker 1: relief Factor dot com. That's relief Factor dot com. Triple 1688 01:41:31,000 --> 01:41:33,240 Speaker 1: eight ninety seven one s A g A triple eight 1689 01:41:33,320 --> 01:41:35,840 Speaker 1: nine seventy one seventy two fourty three. I am Larry Old? 1690 01:41:35,880 --> 01:41:39,840 Speaker 1: Do we are Salem News Channel? As we close out 1691 01:41:39,920 --> 01:41:44,479 Speaker 1: the week, Let's continue our discussion about Trump arrangement syndrome, 1692 01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:49,120 Speaker 1: shall we? The other day I had lunch with a 1693 01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:50,880 Speaker 1: buddy of mine. Hadn't seen him in a long time, 1694 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:54,000 Speaker 1: so he told one of his friends He's going to 1695 01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:58,840 Speaker 1: have lunch with Larry Old. He goes tell is he 1696 01:41:58,920 --> 01:42:05,640 Speaker 1: still a misogynist? Cause he still hate women? And my 1697 01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:09,000 Speaker 1: friend said, what makes you say that? And he said, well, 1698 01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:11,120 Speaker 1: when he ran for governor, he said women were inferior 1699 01:42:11,200 --> 01:42:14,719 Speaker 1: to men. Let me tell you how that came about. 1700 01:42:15,840 --> 01:42:20,759 Speaker 1: That talking point that was used against me. I've written 1701 01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,639 Speaker 1: an article once a week ever since April of nineteen 1702 01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:28,040 Speaker 1: ninety eight. The only time I've taken off was when 1703 01:42:28,360 --> 01:42:31,759 Speaker 1: they made me take off when I ran for governor, 1704 01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:34,400 Speaker 1: and they made me take off when I briefly ran 1705 01:42:34,439 --> 01:42:38,000 Speaker 1: for president. The newspapers wouldn't run a column of a 1706 01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:42,840 Speaker 1: candidate outside of that. Every single week they give you 1707 01:42:42,920 --> 01:42:45,920 Speaker 1: two weeks off for Christmas. Normally I only take no. 1708 01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,040 Speaker 1: Normally I don't take any off, but I've taken over 1709 01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:50,519 Speaker 1: the years, one or two weeks off during that period 1710 01:42:50,560 --> 01:42:52,360 Speaker 1: of time. Outside of that, I've written uh an article 1711 01:42:52,400 --> 01:42:54,880 Speaker 1: once a week ever since April of nineteen ninety eight. 1712 01:42:56,600 --> 01:43:01,760 Speaker 1: That's something like fifteen hundred columns. So during my candidacy 1713 01:43:01,880 --> 01:43:06,679 Speaker 1: for governor, some enterprising reporter went over every single column 1714 01:43:06,720 --> 01:43:09,559 Speaker 1: I wrote and found one I wrote around twenty ten 1715 01:43:10,640 --> 01:43:16,439 Speaker 1: called the She Issues sh E S stand for Social Security, 1716 01:43:17,600 --> 01:43:21,120 Speaker 1: h dand for healthcare, and E stand for education. And 1717 01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:23,000 Speaker 1: in the column I said that women were far more 1718 01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:26,439 Speaker 1: concerned about those issues than are men, and knew more 1719 01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:30,759 Speaker 1: about those issues than men. And I quoted a survey 1720 01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:34,599 Speaker 1: that had been done by a professor at the Annenberg 1721 01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:37,639 Speaker 1: School in Pennsylvania, which is left wing. Professor's left wing 1722 01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:41,960 Speaker 1: and professor said there were twenty five questions about politics, 1723 01:43:43,360 --> 01:43:48,120 Speaker 1: ask of men and ask of women. Men knew more 1724 01:43:48,240 --> 01:43:53,800 Speaker 1: than women did in fifteen of those questions, they knew 1725 01:43:53,840 --> 01:43:58,040 Speaker 1: the same in nine. Women only knew more than men 1726 01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:02,640 Speaker 1: in one of the ti twenty five questions. And I 1727 01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:07,599 Speaker 1: quoted this professor who's still there. She said, the reason 1728 01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:12,280 Speaker 1: men know more about these issues than do women is 1729 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:15,160 Speaker 1: that women are more likely to watch local news, and 1730 01:44:15,360 --> 01:44:18,639 Speaker 1: local news makes you dumber. End of quote. I didn't 1731 01:44:18,640 --> 01:44:22,880 Speaker 1: say it. I quoted this female left wing professor. So 1732 01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:27,200 Speaker 1: the shorthand was then Larry Elder thinks women are less 1733 01:44:27,200 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 1: smart than men. During the one of the Republican debates 1734 01:44:31,360 --> 01:44:33,600 Speaker 1: which I did not participate in, I didn't because I 1735 01:44:33,720 --> 01:44:37,439 Speaker 1: was always doing a fundraiser, or giving a speech, or 1736 01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:42,320 Speaker 1: doing an interview with print media, radio, TV, what have you. 1737 01:44:42,760 --> 01:44:44,200 Speaker 1: And I also knew that since I was at the 1738 01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:46,519 Speaker 1: front wunner, far and away all the other Republicans would 1739 01:44:46,560 --> 01:44:49,240 Speaker 1: do it's spend their time attacking me, so I thought 1740 01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:52,080 Speaker 1: it was pointless. There were like three or four Republican debates. 1741 01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:54,519 Speaker 1: Each time they had one, the polls came out and 1742 01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:57,320 Speaker 1: my gap was even wider. So it was a prudent 1743 01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:00,280 Speaker 1: political decision for me not to do it. But during 1744 01:45:00,360 --> 01:45:04,160 Speaker 1: one of the debates, one of the questions asked of 1745 01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:07,840 Speaker 1: these Republican candidates is Larry Elder thinks that women are 1746 01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:11,479 Speaker 1: less smart than men, And one of my Republican rivals 1747 01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:14,120 Speaker 1: said that's bs, except he didn't say BS, and then 1748 01:45:14,200 --> 01:45:16,879 Speaker 1: began to rail against me because of my alleged sexism. 1749 01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:22,360 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I'm quoting a female professor. I 1750 01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:25,240 Speaker 1: didn't do the survey she did. It's not my fault 1751 01:45:25,280 --> 01:45:27,160 Speaker 1: that men knew more than women did. Of these questions, 1752 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:29,760 Speaker 1: It's not my fault women only knew one. I just 1753 01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:33,439 Speaker 1: quoted it. I did also say that women know more 1754 01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:35,960 Speaker 1: about social security, about healthcare, and about education than do men. 1755 01:45:37,920 --> 01:45:40,439 Speaker 1: And the average IQ of a man it's one hundred. 1756 01:45:40,479 --> 01:45:43,960 Speaker 1: The average IQ of a female is one hundred. So 1757 01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:46,400 Speaker 1: I have no way, shape or form ever said or 1758 01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:50,479 Speaker 1: think that women are inferior intellectually than men. Yet that 1759 01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:53,600 Speaker 1: was a shorthand same thing with Donald Trump. It just 1760 01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:59,439 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We've talked about this several times. He mocked 1761 01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:00,519 Speaker 1: as able reporter. 1762 01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:01,120 Speaker 6: No he didn't. 1763 01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:03,880 Speaker 1: He said there were good Nazis and bad Nazis on 1764 01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:07,840 Speaker 1: both sides in Charlottesville. No he didn't. He said drink bleach. 1765 01:46:07,960 --> 01:46:11,360 Speaker 1: No he didn't. He said if I don't win, there'll 1766 01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:13,439 Speaker 1: be a blood bath. No he didn't. All taken out 1767 01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:20,360 Speaker 1: of context. Now there are two people who follow me 1768 01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:25,000 Speaker 1: on Twitter. When is a guy named Scott McKay who 1769 01:46:25,120 --> 01:46:29,960 Speaker 1: is a conservative commentator based in Louisiana, and the other 1770 01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:35,360 Speaker 1: one is a Danish economist. The Danish economists cannot stand Trump. 1771 01:46:36,240 --> 01:46:41,320 Speaker 1: The Louisiana commentator is a fan, and they had a 1772 01:46:41,640 --> 01:46:46,360 Speaker 1: Twitter exchange. Let me read you part of it. Here 1773 01:46:46,479 --> 01:46:52,000 Speaker 1: is the Danish economist whose name is Large Christiansen. The 1774 01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:56,400 Speaker 1: problem isn't Trump, he wrote, The problem is the United States. 1775 01:46:57,600 --> 01:47:01,640 Speaker 1: When the outside world observes Trump's insane behavior and his 1776 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:05,639 Speaker 1: threats against allies, and we at the same time observed 1777 01:47:05,640 --> 01:47:08,879 Speaker 1: that there is no real action from the US public, Congress, 1778 01:47:09,000 --> 01:47:11,840 Speaker 1: or the US Supreme Court or the media about this insanity. 1779 01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:15,040 Speaker 1: We all have to conclude that America accepts his behavior. 1780 01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:18,479 Speaker 1: Now don't know where this guy is. No reaction. Courts 1781 01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:22,000 Speaker 1: are routinely ruled against Donald Trump, especially at the district 1782 01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:26,600 Speaker 1: level and the appellate level. The media, ABC and BCCBS, 1783 01:47:26,720 --> 01:47:29,240 Speaker 1: just to name three, over ninety percent of their coveragegainst 1784 01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:34,120 Speaker 1: Trump has been negative. No reaction for the US public. 1785 01:47:35,320 --> 01:47:39,519 Speaker 1: Trump has terrible poll numbers, and as I said earlier 1786 01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,200 Speaker 1: this hour, about a third of Democrats wish that the 1787 01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:45,120 Speaker 1: would be assassin had been a non would be assassin, 1788 01:47:45,160 --> 01:47:47,719 Speaker 1: but a successful assassin. When this guy says, there hasn't 1789 01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:49,840 Speaker 1: been no pushback from the American public, Are you kidding me? 1790 01:47:50,360 --> 01:47:54,880 Speaker 1: He continues. The public in the US think that the 1791 01:47:55,040 --> 01:47:57,200 Speaker 1: US is entitled to a certain position in the world 1792 01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:00,400 Speaker 1: where there's no room for decent behavior and where there 1793 01:48:00,439 --> 01:48:04,960 Speaker 1: are no norms and rules. That means we all have 1794 01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:08,959 Speaker 1: to conclude that the US, not only Trump, has betrayed 1795 01:48:09,040 --> 01:48:12,759 Speaker 1: the international order and that the US with its Western partners, 1796 01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:18,320 Speaker 1: were the main architects of after the Second War, that 1797 01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:22,840 Speaker 1: we've abandoned that. He writes, this is a conclusion that 1798 01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:26,519 Speaker 1: Canadian Prime Minister Mark carne So clearly laid out in 1799 01:48:26,640 --> 01:48:29,599 Speaker 1: his speech Ja Davos, we simply cannot trust the US 1800 01:48:29,680 --> 01:48:33,280 Speaker 1: to play by the rules anymore. Therefore, we must ask 1801 01:48:33,360 --> 01:48:36,839 Speaker 1: a fundamental question, should we trust the financial and economic 1802 01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:42,599 Speaker 1: structure which is the integral part of the global rules 1803 01:48:42,640 --> 01:48:46,280 Speaker 1: based order. Americans, he writes, lives in the illusion that 1804 01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:48,720 Speaker 1: the US can do everything on its own, despite the 1805 01:48:48,800 --> 01:48:51,519 Speaker 1: fact that for twenty years the US has lived beyond 1806 01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:54,960 Speaker 1: its means. Then he talks about how other countries are 1807 01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:58,479 Speaker 1: buying American bonds. We have these other countries in order 1808 01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:01,480 Speaker 1: to float our debt. If they're doing it to be altruistic, 1809 01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,040 Speaker 1: I'll continue this exchange when I come back. Triple eight 1810 01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:22,760 Speaker 1: ninety seven one, SAG Triple eight nine seven one, Sage 1811 01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:25,519 Speaker 1: triple eight nine seven one seven two four three Larry Elders, 1812 01:49:25,520 --> 01:49:28,400 Speaker 1: Salem News Channel. I was talking about an exchange between 1813 01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:34,640 Speaker 1: a Trump hating economists from Denmark and an American who 1814 01:49:34,720 --> 01:49:38,719 Speaker 1: supports Trump. Economs are saying that we have been living 1815 01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,559 Speaker 1: beyond our mean for twenty years, and that our consumption 1816 01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:44,599 Speaker 1: has been a funded by European central banks and pension funds. 1817 01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:46,759 Speaker 1: And then he says, why should we put our savings 1818 01:49:46,800 --> 01:49:52,680 Speaker 1: into US Treasury bonds. Well, the answer is because our 1819 01:49:53,080 --> 01:49:56,560 Speaker 1: political system is secure. That's why you're here. But she 1820 01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:59,800 Speaker 1: goes but he goes on. It talks about if Trump 1821 01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:02,360 Speaker 1: can and tariff nations that will not give up their territory. 1822 01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:04,640 Speaker 1: There's certainly no reason to believe that US will not 1823 01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:07,840 Speaker 1: introduce further capital controls. And if that is a risk, 1824 01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:11,560 Speaker 1: why would you risk investing in the US. It is 1825 01:50:11,600 --> 01:50:13,519 Speaker 1: not a question he continues, about Europe standing up to 1826 01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:16,280 Speaker 1: the US. It's a question about being prudent with our investment. 1827 01:50:16,760 --> 01:50:20,360 Speaker 1: Every day Trump remains in office, he writes, distrust of 1828 01:50:20,400 --> 01:50:23,000 Speaker 1: the US increases, and the costs for the US will 1829 01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:26,479 Speaker 1: go up day by day. And this is irreversible. It 1830 01:50:26,560 --> 01:50:29,280 Speaker 1: takes years to build trust. You can destroy it by 1831 01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:36,519 Speaker 1: your actions in minutes. US, he says, had completely lost 1832 01:50:36,600 --> 01:50:39,679 Speaker 1: the trust of Europe, Canada, and the trusts the US. 1833 01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:42,200 Speaker 1: It is up to the people of America to demonstrate 1834 01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:44,200 Speaker 1: that Trump is an outlier. It is up to the 1835 01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:46,960 Speaker 1: American people to stop him. If you don't do that, 1836 01:50:47,400 --> 01:50:49,240 Speaker 1: we'll have to assume that this is what the US 1837 01:50:49,400 --> 01:50:55,040 Speaker 1: is all about. Now, The defender writes this back, you 1838 01:50:55,120 --> 01:50:57,840 Speaker 1: should really consider that Americans aren't very put out by 1839 01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:03,479 Speaker 1: Trump's behavior because America has lost trust in Europe and 1840 01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:05,639 Speaker 1: that Trump has to operate in the way he does 1841 01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:09,800 Speaker 1: because of the stifling bureaucracy which pervades everything you do. 1842 01:51:10,400 --> 01:51:12,320 Speaker 1: He has to beat on your heads because otherwise you 1843 01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:15,600 Speaker 1: will dither and pontificate and ultimately do nothing. Trump is 1844 01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:18,679 Speaker 1: now in his six year as president, writes this commentator 1845 01:51:18,680 --> 01:51:20,880 Speaker 1: from Louisiana. Do you really think he doesn't have the 1846 01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:23,880 Speaker 1: measure review? How many years has it been since Russia 1847 01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:27,240 Speaker 1: invaded Ukraine and we've been signaling ever more loudly it's 1848 01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:29,920 Speaker 1: time for a peace deal because we aren't interested in 1849 01:51:30,040 --> 01:51:33,479 Speaker 1: backing Ukraine forever. You ignore us, and then you engage 1850 01:51:33,520 --> 01:51:35,840 Speaker 1: in endless talk about raising your own army to fight 1851 01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:39,000 Speaker 1: the Russians without actually doing it. To us, you're a joke. 1852 01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:42,599 Speaker 1: You're a pathetic joke. Actually, you're giving your whole continent 1853 01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:45,320 Speaker 1: away to the third world barbarians from Africa and the 1854 01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:47,640 Speaker 1: Middle East, while acting like there's no virtue in it, 1855 01:51:48,120 --> 01:51:50,000 Speaker 1: while acting like there's virtue in it. And then you 1856 01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,800 Speaker 1: insist we operate just as you do. No, we're not 1857 01:51:52,920 --> 01:51:55,240 Speaker 1: built that way. And if we have to send a 1858 01:51:55,439 --> 01:51:57,880 Speaker 1: rude real estate developer from Queen to treat you like 1859 01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,799 Speaker 1: Marx in order to make you understand that your feelings 1860 01:52:00,840 --> 01:52:03,720 Speaker 1: do not govern our facts, then so be it. End 1861 01:52:03,760 --> 01:52:08,800 Speaker 1: of quote. I have a friend I've known for a 1862 01:52:08,840 --> 01:52:10,720 Speaker 1: number of years from Canada. I told you about her, 1863 01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:23,400 Speaker 1: and she texted me after the toppling of Maduro and said, well, 1864 01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:27,920 Speaker 1: have you reached your limit yet? And then when I 1865 01:52:27,960 --> 01:52:32,679 Speaker 1: said no, she ended our friendship. Everybody, have a fantastic weekend. 1866 01:52:32,720 --> 01:52:39,000 Speaker 1: I expect you here promptly on Monday. God bless, what can. 1867 01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:46,479 Speaker 10: I say, But Mike has been dropped all across America. 1868 01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:47,280 Speaker 10: That's enough. 1869 01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:49,559 Speaker 1: Put down the mic phone.
