1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: Getting ready for the briefing. President Trump is going to 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:11,520 Speaker 1: join Caroline Levitt as they speak to the press assembled. 3 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 1: Tony Katz, Tony Katz today, Good to be here, Good 4 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: to be with you. I don't know if the President's 5 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: going to get into what happened with Don Lemon and 6 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: the church. But if you don't know the story, over 7 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: the weekend, Don Lemon with a group of so called protesters, 8 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: walked into a church, disrupted church services, and that is 9 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: a violation of the law. It doesn't matter that Keith 10 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: Ellison wants to make the claim that Don Lemon did 11 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: nothing wrong and there was no violation of the Face 12 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 1: Act or the ku Klux Klan Act. He wants to 13 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: argue that the Face Act was only about abortion clinics. 14 00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: What is the Face Act? Face is? Is it there? 15 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: The Face Act makes it a federal crime to injure, intimidate, 16 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services or 17 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: the person fully lawfully trying to exercise the First Amendment 18 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship. 19 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: This group set out to disrupt services, to intimidate parishioners, 20 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: and to stop them from praying. These people are the Bolsheviks, 21 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: and they did it, and Don lemon knew about it 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: because he created a video. The former CNN host created 23 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,479 Speaker 1: a video about, Hey, look, these people are doing something. 24 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: I know what they're doing. I'm gonna go with them. 25 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: He knew he was interviewing the pastor. This is just 26 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 1: their First Amendment, right, do you not believe in the 27 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: First Amendment. The pastor's saying, what are you talking about? 28 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: I need to protect my flock. This is about giving 29 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: praise to Jesus. What do you what are you? What 30 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:07,639 Speaker 1: are you saying? This is don't how dare you uh 31 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: come at me like like this and and think that 32 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: somehow I am the issue that is that is not 33 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: the case at all or in any way. This this 34 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: is what happened good. I mean, this is unacceptable. It's shameful. 35 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: It's shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship. 36 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 1: But there were folks. Will I have to take care 37 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: of my flaws. There's a Constitution in the First Amendment 38 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: to freedom of speech him and freedom to assembling protest. 39 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: We're here to worship. We're here to worship Jesus because 40 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: that's the hope of these cities. That's the hope of 41 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: the world is Jesus Christ. He's very respectful, priests, don't 42 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: push me, then we're here. We're here to worship Jesus. 43 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: Don Lemon thinks he's very respectful, engage the crowd to 44 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: disrupt services, to intimidate there's literally people screaming at children, 45 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 1: and then has the audacity to say, it's just the 46 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 1: First Amendment right and don't push me. He is a 47 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: low individual. He is He is awful and horrifying, and 48 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: he now wants to tell people I didn't do anything wrong. 49 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: I was just being a journalist. Blame those people. The 50 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: ku Klux Klan Act, by the way, which goes back 51 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: to eighteen seventy one, passed by Congress, enforcing the fourteenth Amendment, 52 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: which would protect civil rights, the right to vote, hold 53 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: off as serv on Jerry's and receive equal protection under 54 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: the law, and specifically black Americans former slaves. So here 55 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: is black man Don Lemon possibly violating the Ku Klux 56 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:10,640 Speaker 1: Klan Act on Martin Luther King Day. That kids is ironic. 57 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: Nicki Minaje got involved, and you're like, I'm sorry, Tony, 58 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: did you say Nicki minaj You bet I did Nicki 59 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:29,599 Speaker 1: Minage got involved, calling Don Lemon an inappropriate term that 60 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,039 Speaker 1: I am not allowed to use on radio. And I 61 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: can't I you know what, I can't even describe to 62 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 1: you what it is she was calling him, but how 63 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 1: he has to be thrown in jail and the intimidation 64 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: of Christians and it can't stand. And he is now saying, well, 65 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: you see the problem is Nicki Minaj she just sit 66 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: down and shut up. She's not even really black, he 67 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: said it on TMZ, because she's supportive of some Trump policies. 68 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: Many times we said this, guys, how many times do 69 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: we engage this for the leftist? If you're gay and 70 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: a conservative, you're not really gay. If you're a woman 71 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: a conservative, you're not really a woman. If you're black conservative, 72 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: you're not really black. How many times have we seen this? 73 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: We know this to be true. This is how the 74 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: left thinks they decide whether or not you're black. In 75 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,799 Speaker 1: case you're a black conservative listening to the show, which 76 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: hey welcome, glad you're here. And for all the black 77 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: liberals listening to the show, hey welcome, glad you're here. 78 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: This is how the left acts, This is how they 79 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: engage ten percent so what did don Lemon do? Well, 80 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: they're only upset with me. Nicki Minaj is only coming 81 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: after me because she's a homophobe, and the Right is 82 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,839 Speaker 1: coming after me because they just can't handle the fact 83 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: that I'm a black gay man. We don't don't we 84 00:05:53,640 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: don't care. We don't care.

No man 87 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: does this Let me say it again, no man, does 88 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: this disrupts church services? You don't like what Ice is doing, 89 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: and the answer is disrupting church services. Why are you 90 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: letting this happen to your Somali brothers and sisters. Why 91 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: are you to protect the latinos. I'm not here to 92 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:36,120 Speaker 1: protect anybody who's here legally, I don't have to. They 93 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: have to leave. I expect my nation to protect the 94 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: citizen first. I rank these things. The citizen comes first. Well, 95 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: they're going into people's homes and they're capturing American citizens 96 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: and they're sending them to concentration camps. The left has 97 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: been co opting the Holocaust for their own political purposes 98 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: for years. They use the Holocaust as their political crutch. 99 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: They denigrate the Holocaust by putting it and applying it 100 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: to everything. They are obscene people. No one's going to 101 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 1: a concentration camp. Do you even know what a concentration 102 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: camp is? As a matter of just sheer definition, that's 103 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: not happening. But are people who are here illegally being 104 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 1: arrested and being detained? Absolutely, are those conditions great? Maybe 105 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: not as great as you would like. But there are 106 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: no showers with zyklon B. So how about we cut 107 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: it out. We stop with the nonsense and the absolute 108 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: denigration of the Holocaust. They're trying to rewrite history by 109 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: calling everybody we don't like a Nazi and recognize these 110 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: people are in the country illegally. Isen's doing its job 111 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: under the law. And it is the left that has 112 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: engaged the law breaking and engage the violence. Ah, now 113 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: we're on it. The violence. The left is violent. They 114 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: support it. They wait, they engage in it, they support it, 115 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: and they want more of it. Donald Trump is shot. 116 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: And while members of the House and Senate acted a 117 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: very acted in a very sober minded way. They had 118 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: hearings and what the heck happened with the Secret Service, 119 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: and they looked at Kim Cheatleh, who was then the 120 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: director of the Secret Service, said, what's wrong with you? 121 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: You can't answer basic questions. It was It was the 122 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: most bipartisan rational bit of questioning. Yeah, you've seen in 123 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: maybe three decades. It was incredible. And well that all 124 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,719 Speaker 1: went apart because the people that support them said, ah, 125 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: maybe we'll get him next time. Ha ha. Charlie Kirk was 126 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: assassinated and they said he deserved it. And ICE agents 127 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: get rammed with vehicles and get assaulted and get falsely imprisoned, 128 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: and the left says they deserve it, And the churches 129 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: get invaded, get swarmed, the parishioners intimidated, and nobody on 130 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 1: the political left of the elected left says that anything 131 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 1: other than well, you know these ICE agents. I'll tell 132 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: you what. The left favors the violence. We see this 133 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: in the polling. They think it's okay to utilize violence 134 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 1: to stop speech that you don't like. They're fine with it, 135 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: they value it, they want more of it. And yes, 136 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: I'm fully aware of the chatterman is reminding me that 137 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 1: there are plenty of churches that have security forces. Absolutely, 138 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: I can't get the synagogues to do the same. I 139 00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: have made this argument for years. Your synagogue, your is 140 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 1: a soft target. You must show up armed, buy guns, 141 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: buy Ammo, and get trained. And any rabbi, any priest, 142 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: any pastor any faith leader who says no, fire them 143 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: or find a new faith leader, because they are not 144 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: interested in the flock surviving. You must be able to 145 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 1: protect yourself. They didn't. They didn't start throwing punches and 146 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: setting fire to bibles on this one. To quote Hamilton, 147 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 1: just you wait, wait till you say it again. Yes, 148 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: he does, Just you wait. Yeah, I gotta work on that. 149 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: I gotta work on my Manuel Miranda impression. Of course 150 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: they will. Of course they will. And I say this 151 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 1: because they have in every other instance engaged more and 152 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: more violence. Do I want them to know? I want 153 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: this to stop. But I don't have elected politicos saying 154 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: stop that. We don't do that, which is why we 155 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: have to take a look the charges here, because a 156 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:06,840 Speaker 1: message has to be sent. Do I have faith in Pambondy. 157 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: I have no faith in Pambondi disappointment incredible, incredible disappointment. 158 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: Is Pambondy massive. It's frustrating, really is. And you say 159 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,440 Speaker 1: to me, well, charges can't come right away. You gotta 160 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,680 Speaker 1: give these thing signs. We have to build the case. 161 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 1: We've got a lot of cases and we're not seeing 162 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 1: much of anything, and we want to know when we 163 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: start seeing something. Already, Don Lemon knew this was going 164 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: to happen. Don Lemon was a part of making this happen. 165 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,679 Speaker 1: Don Lemon should get charged. Of course he should get charged. 166 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: Goes without question that he should be charged.
