00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: events and what's going on in DC, what's going on

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: with Trump, stuff like that. And then Curtis Howt we'll

11
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: be here from NewsBusters. It's a it's amazing. The New

12
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: York Times wrote a piece about Joe Biden and how

13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: uh how ineffective his his border policy was just about

14
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: five years too late. But uh, you know, I mean this,

15
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: I guess better late than never. I guess the you know,

16
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: the the paper of record wanted to get on record

17
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: with recognizing what was painfully obvious, and so they, uh

18
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,920
Speaker 1: they went ahead and and and you know, took the

19
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: journalistic risk to to write a piece that was critical

20
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: of the of the Biden administration. Absolutely unbelievable, but uh,

21
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know why I hold out hope

22
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: on things. And look, I know it's the we're getting.

23
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: Christmas is not that far away. It's the holiday season,

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to talk about tips for decorating your tree,

25
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: the best way to make make that batch of cookies,

26
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, elf on the shelf, all those kind of

27
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: holiday topics, fighting the crowds, the mall, all that kind

28
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: of stuff. Now, if I mean, if you want that

29
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: kind of talk, I'm gonna have to direct the elsewhere

30
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: because that's but I just, you know, I mean, I

31
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: hold out hope. I hold out hope that people in

32
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: elected office will just stop being so predictable, that they'll

33
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: stand up and do things that may not seem like

34
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: the popular thing to do. That uh maybe you know,

35
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: maybe they'll they'll swim against the tide a little bit.

36
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: I kind of hope that some members of Cincinnati City

37
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: Council would you would look with an open mind at

38
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: this ordinance that seeks to pay individuals who got arrested

39
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati because they violated the curfew they had to

40
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: They were they were made a little bit uncomfortable maybe

41
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: during their visit to the Hamilton County Justice Center maybe

42
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: they didn't get and I didn't get their potty break

43
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: right away. You know, maybe they had to they wait

44
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: for a bottle of water. Maybe maybe they're sleeping. Accommodations

45
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: weren't all that great. But I was hoping that maybe

46
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: one or two at least would look at this ordinance

47
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, we cannot send the message.

48
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: And I heard Scottie Johnson the SoundBite of Scottie Johnson

49
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: at the newscast, not this past one at the top

50
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: of the hour, but the one that rolled at eight there,

51
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: and Joe, I should have ask you. I don't know

52
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: if you have access to the soundbites that the newsroom has,

53
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: but Scottie Johnson said, you know, we need to let

54
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: people know that you can't come to Cincinnati break our laws.

55
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: I protest in the streets and then get paid for it.

56
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean he prefaced that by saying that, Look, we're

57
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: all about peaceful protest First Amendment, and I don't know

58
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: anyone who is in disagreement with that. With that, I

59
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 1: certainly am not. I'm about peaceful protest all day long.

60
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 1: You want to go out, you want to make your

61
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: voice heard, do it the right way. But if you're

62
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: out there protesting and police come up and say, hey, look,

63
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: our mayor has put a curfew in place. We had

64
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: some damage last night, had some windows broken out in businesses,

65
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: Hamilton County Justice Center. We've had a couple of nights

66
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: of some serious violence, some property damage. The mayor has said,

67
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: no more curfew, eight o'clock, clear the streets. And when

68
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: you disobey that lawful order, when you disobey the police,

69
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: it does a chance you're going to get arrested. There's

70
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: a chance you're going to get booked into the Hamilton

71
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: County Justice Center. And so when you do, and there's

72
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: more than four hundred of you, yeah, it's going to

73
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: take a little time in the process through. And then

74
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: a couple of years after the fact, someone decides, well,

75
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe we got a lawsuit here. So

76
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: they go ahead and sue, and the city decides, you

77
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: know what, we got to settle this thing. I saw

78
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: a SoundBite a cut of and I believe it is

79
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: the city solicitor, and I must apologize. I do not

80
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: know her. I should have looked it up, but I

81
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: listened to her telling members of council that if we

82
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: take this to trial, it could cost a lot more.

83
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, we let a jury get a

84
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: hold of this, so this might be wound up being

85
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: very expensive.

86
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: This could.

87
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: This could be you know, it cost a lot of money.

88
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: These people had their they had their rights violated. Are

89
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: you serious challenge them on this? Hey? How badly were

90
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: their rights? Violet? Did anyone get hurt? Was there any

91
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: damage done? Did we make a promise down the line

92
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: or some of you somewhere beforehand that if you violate

93
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: the city curfew, if you disobey the orders of police

94
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: and you get arrested, that your trip to the Justice

95
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: center is going to be conducted in complete comfort. Do

96
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: we know where the jury is going to come from

97
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: on this? And the former prosecutor told me that they

98
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: were in a trial like this, this to be a

99
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: federal this would be you know, they were going to

100
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: see if they violated their federal rights. This'll be a

101
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: federal trial. I'm gonna get jurists from Claremont County, from

102
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: Brown County, maybe from Highland County, from Warren County, the

103
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: Butler County. Not all gonna come from downtown Cincinnati. Not

104
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: everyone thinks the same, but we still it's still needs.

105
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:27,679
Speaker 1: You know, this settlement deal needed the approval of city council,

106
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: and City Council unanimously approves eight point one million dollars

107
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: to settle the protest, two million in change to the

108
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: attorneys somewhere between ten and twelve, and according to Fox

109
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: nineteen thirteen, grand Per protested, I at least hope they

110
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: have to pay taxes in that? Is that asking too much?

111
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd admit, maybe you can fill me in.

112
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: I've never been part of a settlement like this. Yeah,

113
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: I get those things in the mail. On those and

114
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: you've probably seen them. They're about the size of them,

115
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit bigger than a postcard, about the

116
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: postcard size, and the printing is very small. Hey, you're

117
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: part of the class action lawsuit. Your identity may have

118
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: been revealed because you have X, Y or Z credit card,

119
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: or you know your your terms of service for your

120
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: cable package weren't exactly forthright. And then when you take

121
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: the time to read them, you know, you see that,

122
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: you know you're part of the class and you got

123
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: these lawyers and those lawyers, and you know this much

124
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: money is going to be set aside, and you're going

125
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: to get a coupon for fifty percent off your next subscription,

126
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: or each member of the class is going to be

127
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: entitled to somewhere between twelve dollars and seventy eight cents

128
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: and uh, maybe eighty nine dollars. So I've never been,

129
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: and really, is it even is it worth the time?

130
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: Is it worth the effort to pay? I have not

131
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: seen one yet. Maybe one of these days some class

132
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 1: class action thing will uppear in my mailbox. That'll be

133
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 1: worth the effort to actually fill it out and jump

134
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: through whatever hoops you got to jump through. But I've

135
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: never been through part of a class settlement where you

136
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: stand to reap a ten or twelve thousand dollars windfall?

137
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: Do you pay taxes on that? How is that? How

138
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: does that work out? Do you fill out of ten

139
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: ninety nine? I should get her court Hartman on Maybe

140
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: he knows how these things work. I certainly hope the

141
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: lawyers have to pay tax on their two million dollar

142
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: plus windfall. I guess that's that's how lawyers work. That's

143
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: their income, so I'm sure they got to pay taxes

144
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: on that. But if if you're part of the settlement,

145
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: do you pay taxes on is it like, is it

146
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: like an inheritance? If someone, God forbid, someone in your

147
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 1: family passes away, they leave you some money. In some

148
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 1: cases there's taxes to be paid on that. So hopefully

149
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: at least these individuals will feel the sting of the

150
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: tax man a little bit. But I was just hoping

151
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: that one or two members of council would stand up

152
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: and say, you know, we ought to take this thing

153
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: to court. I'm not I'm not seeing a lot here

154
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 1: that I'm really concerned about. You know, you got all

155
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: these agitators out there. And yes, I use the word

156
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 1: thugs the other day in reference to those individuals who

157
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: would and I saw the video and for the when

158
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: I when I first learned of this settlement, the first

159
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: flashback I had of that was the video I saw

160
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: of these individuals with a police barricade smashing it into

161
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: a window at the Justice center. Big old you know

162
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: what are those windows? Ten feet high? Twelve feet high?

163
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: Pretty big window, just smashed it. So yeah, I called

164
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: them thugs to my way of thinking, anyone that that

165
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: that does that smashes the window of a justice center,

166
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: smashes the window, does damage to a small business downtown,

167
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: That that to me is acting like a thug. So

168
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna stand by them, But I would

169
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: just I would just hope that we would have one

170
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: or two members of council that would say, you know,

171
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing a lot of a lot of finding

172
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: a fact here. I'm not seeing that strong of a

173
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: case that somehow that compels the city to reach into

174
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: its pocket to the tune of eight million dollars. And

175
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: on the other hand, I'm still I'm still thankful that

176
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: we live in a city where, at least to my

177
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: way of thinking, eight million dollars means something might seem

178
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: like chump change. But the city's going to have to

179
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: issue debt as part of this deal to pay off

180
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: that settlement, So digging deeper into the hole. And then,

181
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and how do you know all these claim

182
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: four hundred and something claims are legitimate? God, City Council

183
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 1: voted unanimously Wednesday eight point one million dollar settlement. Hundreds

184
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: of protesters during the twenty twenty George Floyd posts and

185
00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: it was something it didn't even happen in Cincinnati. Let's

186
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: go to Claremont County. Alice's on the line, Hi, Alice,

187
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: Hi it's great to hear your voices always.

188
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: Well, thank you.

189
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 2: Excuse me. A couple of things.

190
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 3: Who was the woman who said these people were abused

191
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 3: by their government being a professional protesters.

192
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: That that was a member of council who said that. Yes, yeah,

193
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know which one, but I

194
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: heard that sound bite. It might have been yesterday and

195
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: it made me gag a little bit. That was disgusting.

196
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: And they're professional protesters there. It leaves you breathless. Also

197
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: another thing, the Spencer book. I heard you interview him twice.

198
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: Holy hell, Robert Spencer.

199
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I'm reading it, but I have to stop

200
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: and then go back to another book because it's scary.

201
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 3: It's absolutely scary.

202
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: And that guy's written like thirty two books. So he

203
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: got the one on Mondanie and then he wrote another

204
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 1: one and we talked about it about the way women

205
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: in Islam are treated.

206
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: It's it's scary.

207
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: Have I know this is not a literary show, but

208
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 3: I have to recommend the book. It's called How to

209
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: Test Negative for Stupid but not in Washington. It's by

210
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 3: Senator John Kennedy.

211
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: Ah, he's one of my favorites.

212
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 3: He is one of my favorites. He does explain the

213
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: machinations in Washington, but with his own brand of humor.

214
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: He describes one unnamed senator as being someone who will

215
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: pat you on the back, but he will also unplug

216
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: your life support system to charge your cell phone.

217
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Yeah, that's great. That's a great right there.

218
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 3: Yes it is. And the book is full of them.

219
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 3: And what a good man he is. It's worth reading.

220
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 3: It's there's a lot to it, but it's light reading.

221
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 3: You can you can read it, you know, just before

222
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: going to bed.

223
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. I've actually got a SoundBite from Senator Kennedy tonight,

224
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: and he was on the floor of the Senate uh

225
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: describing the situation in Minneapolis, and a couple of couple

226
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: of memorable lines in there.

227
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: What has taken so long to goo after this this

228
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: ill han omar? She has she I mean, she has

229
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 3: not made a secret about what she's all about and

230
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 3: why why has it taken this long?

231
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: No, she she doesn't. She doesn't like America very much,

232
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: and she she ought to be falling to her knees.

233
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: And and the thing is the this whole thing with

234
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Somalian community in Minneapolis is

235
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 1: drawing a lot of attention to her. And and right

236
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: now there's a lot of different news organizations that are

237
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: focusing on her net worth. That when she came to Congress,

238
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: I believe her total net worth was in the neighborhood

239
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: of sixty thousand dollars and now she is has a network,

240
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 1: a networth that is in excess of thirty million dollars

241
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are asking a question, how

242
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: did that happen in that span of time?

243
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: And then a lot of the money was was went

244
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 3: to Bukaharam and and.

245
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: That ris organization in some model.

246
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: Yes, and they're part of al Qaeda. And remember the

247
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 3: thing with the girls that the Obamas called our girls

248
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: that you remember that, Yes, that funded Bokaham when they

249
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 3: were when they were abusing those women. You know what

250
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 3: is taking so long? This woman's life is worthy of

251
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 3: publishing in the inquir in the in the National Inquiry,

252
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 3: that that tabloid her personal life is unbelievable, and she's

253
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: a member of Congress.

254
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Alice, I appreciate the call as always,

255
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: but we got to run. We got to get to

256
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: a break.

257
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 3: Of course, have a good night.

258
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: Thank you, Alice, Thank you for listening, Alice. I appreciate

259
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: Alice from Amelia, such a loyal listener and a wonderful person.

260
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: Always great to hear her voice. We gotta go, We

261
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: gotta get to a break. A little news coming up

262
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour, but more time for

00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: your phone calls on the other side. Five one, three,

264
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred the Big One.

265
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: It is the Wednesday night edition of the Midweek Crisis

266
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW nine thirty eight

267
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 1: day Girls til midnight tonight, Wednesday Night edition of the

268
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: Midweek Crisis. Just wrapping up my thoughts on the eight

269
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: point one million dollar settlement going to go out to

270
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: the protesters who were in downtown Cincinnati after the George

271
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: Floyd Black Lives Matter all that crap, four hundred and

272
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: seventy nine protesters. They'll get between According to five nineteen

273
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 1: twelve and thirteen thousand. To qualify for the payout, the

274
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: protesters could not have additional charges beyond violating the curfew.

275
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: How do we know that? How do we know that

276
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: those are the people that are going to get the money?

277
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: How do we know that someone who broke a window,

278
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: someone who damaged property, there were even shots that were

279
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: fired at police and first responders. How do we know

280
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: the people who engaged in that activity are not getting

281
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: part of the payout. I will reiterate and say again,

282
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: I believe the Cincinnati police did an outstanding job with

283
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: the factors that they were presented with. Council Member Scotti

284
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: Johnson said during the vote they had to establish law

285
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: and order. That's what they did, along with keeping citizens, businesses,

286
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: and even the protesters safe. So they're Scottie Johnson standing

287
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: strong with police. Then he says them in the back

288
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: and votes in favor of this. So the part of

289
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 1: the settlement means that the city is going to have

290
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: to come up with policy and operational changes and we're

291
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: going to have new rules for Cincinnati police when it

292
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: comes to focusing on large scale civil unrest events. So

293
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what that looks like. So

294
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: we can avoid another situation like that. And so the

295
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: message has gone out that you can come to Cincinnati,

296
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: you can protest. And now I'm looking at the story

297
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: from from Channel five says that the majority of people

298
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: on the lawsuit are not Cincinnati residents, but they went

299
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,439
Speaker 1: ahead and signed off on it. Hey, Cincinnati police did

300
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 1: a great job. We can be very proud of them.

301
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Then stand up for them, say no to this to

302
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: It's too late for that now, but I held out

303
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 1: hope that at least one would have the spine to

304
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,639
Speaker 1: stand up to this. That did not happen. Hi lawmakers

305
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,359
Speaker 1: will sent a bill changing marijuana policy to the desk

306
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: of Mike DeWine, creating a slew of new criminal offenses,

307
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: such as buying weed in Michigan to smoke in a

308
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: public area. Buying was So if you buy weed in

309
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: Michigan now, and I'll be honest with you, I've not

310
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: followed this story that closely about the cannabis and the

311
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: marijuana and all that. I've reached out to state Representative

312
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 1: Adam Bird and he will join us tomorrow night. So

313
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: if you're interested in the whatever the rules are now

314
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: as it relates to marijuana, you can check out Adam

315
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: Bird tomorrow night. We'll talk about that. This is do

316
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: you buy a lottery tickets when the when the jackpot

317
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: gets big, I'll be honest with you.

318
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: I do.

319
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: My wife says, Hey, you got to you know She'll

320
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: send me a message jackpots up to you know, seventy

321
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: million or ninety million or one hundred million, whatever it is,

322
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: and I'll go and get them. And then she'll say,

323
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: did you check it? And I said, I don't need

324
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: to check it. Why not? Because if somebody wins, it's

325
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: it's a news story. And so I was getting ready

326
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: for the show tonight and I came across this headline

327
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: winning a lottery ticket worth eleven point four million dollars

328
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: sold at Ohio convenience store. So, see that's the headline.

329
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: I'm waiting. That headline right there alerts me to the

330
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: fact because you know, you win him. I put them

331
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the console of the car

332
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: or I got. There's a drawer at home. We throw

333
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: them in a drawer. When I see that headline, then

334
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, I mean, do I have a winner

335
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: in there? And I read the story and it reads,

336
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: according to Channel five, lottery ticket worth over eleven million

337
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: dollars sold at a convenience store in Ohio. According to

338
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the Ohio Lottery, ticket was sold for Saturday's lottery drawing. Well,

339
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: nobody won the big powerball jackpot yet, an Ohio player

340
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: lucked out. The Ohio Lottery said Smitty's Cruise Through in

341
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: Tip City sold a ticket worth eleven point four million

342
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: and Saturday's drawing. I have not been to Tip City

343
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: anytime recently, so I don't need to don't need to

344
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 1: check my tickets. But if you're listening and you've been

345
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,679
Speaker 1: to Tip City lately and you got a ticket at

346
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: Smitty's Cruise Through, find it, check it out. Could be

347
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: a big winner. The ticket needs to be claimed, said

348
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: the Ohio Lottery. The Mill Creek Food martin Youngstown also

349
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: sold a ticket where one hundred grand. So there you go,

350
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: the Mill Creek Food martin Youngstown. I have not been

351
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: to either establishment, so I.

352
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: Am out of luck.

353
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: But I'll eventually check him in. You know, I get

354
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: to that, I get to the point where I get

355
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: a stack of I don't know, fifteen to twenty of

356
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: them and take him in here and you put them

357
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,440
Speaker 1: in the machine. Not a winner. Not a winner. Every

358
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: once in a while you get one that wins and

359
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: two or three dollars or something like that. Woo oh man,

360
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: here's a story. I was saying. I mean, I'm going

361
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 1: to talk to my buddy Curtis Alcobaic. This New York

362
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: Times has invented a new genre of report covering big

363
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the

364
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: event that matters. At the tail end of twenty twenty

365
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: five of the Times has freshly broken news that the

366
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for

367
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 1: the ideological, ideological and partisan reasons and partly out of

368
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: shearing competence. Who knew? Four thousand words story fourteen colleagues

369
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 1: contributing additional reporting and research, Very well sourced. It dissects

370
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: Biden's immigration misdeeds and missteps over the years of his

371
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: four years in office. But and he writes, great, but

372
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: why not do that? Why the guy is actually in power?

373
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 1: Immigration isn't suddenly an issue today. It's the biggest domestic

374
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: story since COVID end, even before COVID, which I call

375
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: the wuhun before in twenty sixteen, Donald Trump and an

376
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 1: immigration at the forefront of presidential politics and private Democrats

377
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: close to Biden were discussing the crisis all along. They

378
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: knew his agenda, and they knew it would only make

379
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: it worse. Biden's policy advisors sounded the alarm before he

380
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 1: even won the election. The Time acknowledges this. In August

381
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, several AIDS wrote a memo cautioning mister

382
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: Biden's inner circle that his promise of lighter immigration enforcement,

383
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: coupled with a pent up demand from the Trump years

384
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: and economic hardship from the WUHAN could spike or could

385
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: provoke a spike in border crossings. And that is exactly

386
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: what happened. And so I guess I got to give

387
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: credit to these people who were trying to advise the

388
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: Biden campaign, tell them what was up. They actually they

389
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: were right. Biden didn't listen. Democrats are fully aware of

390
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: what they were getting the getting the country into, and

391
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: they did it anyway. Voters didn't know, however, because the

392
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: media didn't do the reporting necessary to inform them until

393
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 1: just now. Well, I wouldn't say all the media, but

394
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: you know what, but you know what he's talking about.

395
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: The New York Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, the mainstream media

396
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: talk about it all the time. We were talking about

397
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: it back then. And so when the border started going

398
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: crazy right after the Biden election, the people who listened

399
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: to this show, people who listened to this station. People

400
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: who listened to talk radio in general were not surprised.

401
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: We knew it was coming. And this past Sunday, the

402
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: New York Times had it on the front page of

403
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: the paper. Very very impressive. Uh, let me see that. Uh.

404
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,439
Speaker 1: Even when the president was visibly failing, liberals in the

405
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: media dismissed what was right before their eyes. A friend

406
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,439
Speaker 1: who was a lonely conservative columnist at an other nation's

407
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 1: major metropolitan newspaper told me one subject he was explicitly

408
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 1: forbidden to write about was Biden's age and infirmity. Well,

409
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, if if if you are a columnist

410
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: at a newspaper and you are forbidden to write about

411
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: what is blatantly obvious and and at some point you

412
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 1: got to you gotta step away from that. And it's

413
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: just to my way of thinking anyway. The code of

414
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:02,639
Speaker 1: silence backfired spectacular saddling the Democrats with not one but

415
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: two unelectable candidates at the top of their presidential ticket

416
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: last year, leaving the left in the state of shock

417
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: that Americans really did figure out what was happening with

418
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 1: immigration and really were mad about it. Better late than never, though,

419
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 1: how Biden ignored warnings at Lost and Lost America's faith

420
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: and immigration does not teach an important lesson beyond the

421
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: one about what happens when radical policies going criticized by

422
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 1: the media and internal criticism by the samee Democrats get ignored.

423
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 1: It also showcases the success of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's

424
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: strategy by busting the border crisis straight into the blue cities.

425
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: And it makes the point that I have made so

426
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 1: many times when it comes to this subject, about how

427
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: exceedingly poor the media in this country serves the American public,

428
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: the people who pay attention, the people who want to

429
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I mean, thank god that we

430
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: had the you know that we can we can find

431
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 1: out on our own that there are alternative news sources

432
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: out there that are not afraid of the print what's

433
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: going on, not afraid though, to publish the truth, even

434
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: when you may not like it, even when it hurts

435
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, there's there's some stuff that

436
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: Trump is doing now that I'm not sure that I'm

437
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: totally in agreement with. I haven't read enough about this

438
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: twelve billion dollar bailout for the farmers. If you're a farmer,

439
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: do you need a twelve billion dollar bailout from the

440
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: federal government. I saw where the Trump administration wants to

441
00:29:54,080 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: sell more AI chips to the Chinese. Is that is

442
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,080
Speaker 1: that something we ought to be doing. I don't know.

443
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: It seems to me China is perfectly capable of making

444
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 1: their own chips. I mean, on one hand, selling stuff

445
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: is good. Maybe those chips can be can be programmed

446
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: as by on the Chinese. I don't know, but at

447
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: least I know about it. At least I don't have

448
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: to rely on one or two outlets. And I had

449
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 1: a call over I was I was on over the weekend,

450
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 1: and I had a call over the weekend, and this

451
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 1: gal was trying to take me to task on things

452
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: I was saying about illegal immigrants, illegal aliens in this country,

453
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: and she was talking about she was talking about ice

454
00:30:55,360 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: and the roundups and how American citizens or being taken

455
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: away in the dead of the night and all this

456
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and she was just just mistaken about that.

457
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: And I asked her where she got her news, and

458
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: she didn't want to answer the question. God bless her.

459
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: She sounded like she was a little bit older, nice lady,

460
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: but just didn't have the facts and was trying to

461
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: take me in a task on some of the things,

462
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 1: and and and you could tell that she had And

463
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: I don't know why she was listening to me to

464
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: begin with, but you could tell that she had. She

465
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: had not heard the things that I was saying at

466
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: if she had not encountered that before. And she was

467
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: pretty convinced that what I was saying was not true.

468
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: Rick and Western Hills, what's going on?

469
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 4: I'm glad you said something about these AI computer chips,

470
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 4: because I think this is a really big story and

471
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 4: everyone's missing it. The reason is is because I've seen

472
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 4: about two years ago they were showing pictures of this

473
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 4: robot army China was building in these giant robot dogs

474
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 4: that shot like big guns and fire out of them,

475
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 4: and these things were like that. They they only had prototypes,

476
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 4: and I was thinking, well, if China's putting all this

477
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 4: money in robotics to building robot a robot army, we

478
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 4: sell them all the AI supercomputer chips, they'll put them

479
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 4: writing them robots and might be end enough have to

480
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 4: fight them someday. And that's kind of stupid.

481
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,480
Speaker 1: I hope that I hope that doesn't happen. But yeah,

482
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: no does when I when I see headlines like that

483
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,959
Speaker 1: that we are selling uh China ai chips, it makes it.

484
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 1: It makes anything. First of all, their spying apparatus must

485
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 1: not be as good as it used to be because

486
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: they used to spy on us and and steal all

487
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I guess maybe they're not able

488
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: to steal it now they're just gonna go ahead and

489
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:49,880
Speaker 1: buy it now.

490
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 4: It was this Taiwan East company. They have to get

491
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 4: permission in order to sell them to China, And I

492
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 4: don't understand why they would do that at all, because

493
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 4: China might use that on them too, you know.

494
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that's uh, I'm gonna have to look at that.

495
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, a Chinese army of robot dogs that spit

496
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: fire and shoot guns. That that's a that sounds like

497
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: a nightmare scenario right there.

498
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, now do you defended? They can think on their own,

499
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 4: just like like a living soldier attacking you know, white Americans.

500
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: Whatever.

501
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 1: That's horrible, Rick, Thanks for the call. I appreciate it

502
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: all right there you go, Rick, Rick, it doesn't like

503
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: the idea of Chinese built dogs shooting guns and and

504
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: uh and breathing fire. We you gotta get to a

505
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: break news coming up top of the hour, and then

506
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: my buddy Steve Baff will be here and we'll kick

507
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 1: around some some of the day's news events with him

508
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: as we roll on till midnight tonight, Wednesday night edition

509
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:55,600

00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: on the big one, seven hundred W l W ten

511
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 1: o eight, Wednesday edition of the Midweek Crisis. I mean,

512
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: as we rolled till midnight tonight and joining me from Bloomington, Indiana,

513
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: where he's basking in the glory of that great hoo's

514
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: your victory or the Ohio State Buckeyes, my buddy Jim

515
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: Faff of the Conservative Caucus And Jim, how is everything

516
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:20,720
Speaker 1: on Bloomington these days? The number one team in the country?

517
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: How about that.

518
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing, amazing one. All my all my fans who

519
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 2: know that I loved W A L W and following

520
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 2: it all my life, that that love the buck eyes,

521
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 2: I I don't dislike them, but I can't couldn't be

522
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 2: more pleased.

523
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad, I'm glad for you, and that that

524
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 1: coach is the heartbreak was we learned or later this week,

525
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: after the after the the Hoosier's victory, that that coach

526
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: had actually interviewed here at the University of Cincinnati.

527
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 2: And I hadn't heard that. Oh my goodness. Yeah, and

528
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 2: Signetti is excellent, Like his resume actually is very good.

529
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 2: And what he's done in some programs, particularly James Madison.

530
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 2: I mean, he kept James Madison in the top twenty

531
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 2: five for much of his time there. What a what

532
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 2: a fantastic coach.

533
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we think, you know, here in Cincinnati, we

534
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: spend a lot of a lot of time thinking about

535
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: what might have been. And you know, maybe if he

536
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: was coaching the Bearcats now, who knows. But in any case,

537
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: let me ask you this here. Here's the main question

538
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:28,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you tonight. Is it is it

539
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion at this point that the Republicans are

540
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 1: going to lose the House in the twenty twenty six midterms.

541
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: No, But the dynamic, the the historical dynamic, says that

542
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: Democrats are very likely to take the House.

543
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,400
Speaker 1: Back the party the party out of power, picks up seats.

544
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: But and the reason I asked is because I'm flipping

545
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: around watching different shows and I'm just seeing a lot

546
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: more analysis right now that is leaning towards that narrative.

547
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:10,160
Speaker 1: Am I Are you seeing the same thing that I'm seeing?

548
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: And when it comes to the analysis on it.

549
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: Well, I am. But I would maintain that one of

550
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 2: the biggest reasons that analysis is so prevalent is because

551
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 2: of the fact that, frankly, Republicans in general aren't doing

552
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 2: a very good job of messaging what's going on. I

553
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 2: would also say, I don't know if you happen to

554
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,239
Speaker 2: see it, and I agreed with him. I've been on

555
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: his podcast before, but Tim cool of the Tip of

556
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: Tim Cast was rightly out there talking about how, you know,

557
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: since Charlie Kirks that you would think that that would

558
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: be a polarizing and you know a bit of momentum

559
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 2: for the conservative causes and Republicans in general, and frankly,

560
00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: we've been breaking up ever since because you've got this

561
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: stupid team of Owens narrative that that keeping USA is

562
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 2: behind his death, and then you've got the Nick Flint

563
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 2: has interview with Pecker Carlson and all the backlash related

564
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:16,800
Speaker 2: to that and and the expanding, uh, you know, Israel debate.

565
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 2: That's happening, and there are a lot of things that

566
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 2: are kind of breaking apart the grassroots. But then on

567
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 2: top of that, you've got this natural tendency amongst leadership

568
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,680
Speaker 2: in the Republican Party nationally to really try to grab

569
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 2: the feet out of the jaws of victory. A lot

570
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 2: it does, and they suck at you like they don't.

571
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 2: There is there are a decent amount of members of

572
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: Congress on the Republican side who are supportive of Donald Trump,

573
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 2: but you still have this pretty powerful, sometimes contingent that

574
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: doesn't want anything that Donald Trump's trying to do. I

575
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: mean evidence by just this evening a procedural vote in

576
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 2: the House to try to overturn Donald Trump's executive Order,

577
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 2: which gets rid of a massive amount of collective bargaining

578
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 2: amongst federal employees. Now there should be no collective bargaining

579
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 2: amongst federal employees at all. And yet you've got thirteen

580
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 2: members that sided with Democrats to try to overturn his

581
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: executive order. That there is a contingent in the Republican

582
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 2: Party that just hates Donald Trump. They're not highly vocal

583
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,359
Speaker 2: about it right now, but they undermine him in every turn.

584
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 2: So all those things seem to work against it. Nonetheless,

585
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: you've got the redistricting efforts that have added more opportunities

586
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,040
Speaker 2: for Republicans to gain seats. So we'll see how it

587
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 2: plays out. And if Donald Trump can get his economic

588
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: message out, which he's already started to do in Pennsylvania

589
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 2: last night, then you know, that may help them, you know,

590
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: push through the headwinds and get to something positive in

591
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 2: November of next year.

592
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it always seems that you get we get these

593
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: cycles where you get Conservatives just win on issue after

594
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: issue after issue, and then at some point the Democrats

595
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: just sort of put things on cruise control, and then

596
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: it seems like because there's maybe a void in the

597
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 1: news cycle, it seems like Republicans just sort of have

598
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 1: to self destruct. And we're saying and we're just we're

599
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: seeing that, like you said, we're you know, people are

600
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: starting to chip off and then get away from Trump

601
00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:31,359
Speaker 1: and get away from his message, and we're seeing the criticize,

602
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: the criticisms come out, and Marjorie Taylor Green people are

603
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: starting to look at her like, you know, she's being

604
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: seduced by the leftist media now and kind of enjoying

605
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: that spotlight. And I don't know. I don't know if

606
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: that if people look at that and they think that's

607
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: attractive and they want a little piece of that action,

608
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand the mindset. Sometimes.

609
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 2: Well, essentially, what does happen is people end up going

610
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:03,080
Speaker 2: to Washington, d C. And they if they're not determined

611
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: to keep from being bought in and grabbed up, you know,

612
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 2: sucked into the system, then they eventually will be listen. Washington,

613
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,880
Speaker 2: DC's crazy town. When I went to Capitol Hill to

614
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: be chief of staff for my friend and continuing friend,

615
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 2: Tim hills Camp, former Member of Congress from Kansas, and

616
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 2: he asked me to come and be his chief of staff.

617
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,200
Speaker 2: And one of the things that he and I did,

618
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: he slept in his office. He didn't go rent some

619
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 2: place in town. I had to end up renting some

620
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 2: place that I lived. But neither of us, both of

621
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 2: us decided there's no way that we're going to be

622
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:46,240
Speaker 2: involved in the uh, you know, the the cocktail party crowd.

623
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: I mean not that we never went to things. He

624
00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 2: would have fundraisers sometimes there and or or there would

625
00:40:52,680 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 2: be some member that we were good friends with, and

626
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: we we'd attend that, but really we spent our evenings

627
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: just kind of strategizing, what are we going to do,

628
00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 2: how are we going to advance the agenda. I was

629
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,720
Speaker 2: putting together meetings of chiefs of staff. I've had forty

630
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: to sixty of them meeting where I'm trying to urge

631
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 2: them to carry on the Tea Party movement thing. And

632
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: I never bought into it. In fact, right now I'm

633
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 2: sitting in Bloomington, Indiana in my house. I never have

634
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 2: purchased a home in the DC area, even though I'm

635
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,640
Speaker 2: running an organization there now and I serve two members

636
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: of Congress. There was no way I was going to

637
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 2: be part of that. Most people, though, even the good ones,

638
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,319
Speaker 2: end up being part of the system there. And if

639
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: you're not dog determined to the point of being disliked

640
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 2: a lot to keep yourself separated from that and not

641
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: become part of it, you will become part of it.

642
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 2: I think that's what happened to Marjorie Taylor Green. She

643
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: went and started helping out Kevin McCarthy for a while,

644
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: and then obviously this recent debacle. I mean, it just

645
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: happens to some people sometimes. Thomas Masthew, who I worked for,

646
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: always talks about that pin that he wears. He calls

647
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 2: it my precious, referring to you know, the Gullum and

648
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 2: the ring, ye in the Lord of the Ring, right,

649
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: And then that really does happen to people. You know,

650
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,320
Speaker 2: you get pushed around, you don't have to go through

651
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 2: the the the metal detectors, and you're treated so well

652
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: at the Capital as a member of Congress, and suddenly

653
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 2: you think you are somebody, and frankly, most of them

654
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 2: aren't anybody.

655
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 5: You know.

656
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: I look as an example of what I'm talking about,

657
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: I look at the story when you go back a

658
00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: few weeks when you had Alyssa Slotkin and Mark Kelly

659
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: and some of these other Democrats put this video out

660
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: about you know, if you're in if you're in the military,

661
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to obey illegal orders, suggesting that somehow

662
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,719
Speaker 1: the Trump administration is giving illegal orders to our men

663
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 1: and women in uniform. And then miraculously, this whole narrative

664
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: starts up with the drug boats being blown out of

665
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 1: the water from from Vannezuela and something illegal is going

666
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 1: on there. And we had all this pressure build up

667
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: on Pete Hegseth and people want to impeach him now

668
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer was demanding to see the video. And

669
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,440
Speaker 1: even though members of Congress had already seen the video,

670
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,240
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer was going to go out and demand

671
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 1: things from Pete Hegseeth, and Pete Hegseth stood his ground.

672
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 1: He said, look, I'm in the right here. We know

673
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 1: we're in the right. We know what's going on, and

674
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: they and Pete Hegseth has not caved. And Chuck Schumer

675
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: came out of that meeting today with his tail between

676
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: his legs and said, well, it didn't work out that well,

677
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: and so it And I look at that as an example,

678
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 1: just a microcosm of if you know your position is right,

679
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: you stand behind your position and you stick to your

680
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: guns and assure them it's not going to be easy sledding.

681
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: But in the end you're going to come out. And

682
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: I think Pete Hegseth is going to come out looking

683
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: good on this because we've all heard the narrative that

684
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: hegg Sac is in trouble. He's going to be the

685
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: first one to be fired. Trump is going to let

686
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: him go. But if he would have caved, I think

687
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: to the you know, this withering fire he's been subject

688
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: to then I think Trump would have let him go.

689
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: But he's not. He's standing his ground and he and

690
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 1: to my way of thinking, uh, you know, Trump said

691
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: some great things about Pete HeiG Seth at that rally

692
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: last night, so I think he's in pretty good standing

693
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: right now.

694
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 2: Well, and the great news about that is that Donald

695
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,960
Speaker 2: Trump does actually have good people this time around, who

696
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 2: are loyal to him, who are mostly pretty capable.

697
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,840
Speaker 5: And I've got some criticisms like I'm still trying.

698
00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 2: To wade through my thinking on paying BONDI and cash hotel,

699
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: for example, but for the most part they're doing at

700
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: least a serviceable job and definitely loyal. You know, there

701
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,640
Speaker 2: are always some problems, but you've just got a situation

702
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 2: where Donald Trump put the right kind of cabinet together

703
00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: that actually is dedicated to trying to fulfill his vision.

704
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump has to work that. But you know,

705
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 2: if we are not willing as citizens to push back

706
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: against the DC narratives as best we can, and the

707
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 2: challenge of that is people are trying to live their lives.

708
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: I always tell people, you know, I do this so

709
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: you don't have to, because most people just want to

710
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 2: try to make it through their lives. And that's why

711
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 2: if Donald Trump can't get the economy back around, or

712
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: at least get the message out well about the good

713
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,200
Speaker 2: things that are happening in the economy, then people will

714
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 2: tend to back away from that. They need to have

715
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: some direct sense. Then all that's working. But in light

716
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 2: of these attacks like you mentioned the Mark Kelly, Alyssa

717
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 2: slockin and all these idiots who put that video together

718
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 2: literally to try to undermine Donald Trump's presidency. In my

719
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 2: estimation and intreason this way, we have to remember that

720
00:45:58,080 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: Democrats still have the financing and the methodology to go

721
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 2: in and undermine everything that's happening so that they can

722
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: maintain power. They still have a beachhead in the media.

723
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 2: They've got millions, literally hundreds of millions of dollars that

724
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: come through the George Soros types to fund these efforts.

725
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,879
Speaker 2: And that was a coordinated effort, this video that Mark

726
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 2: Kelly put together to try to build out a narrative,

727
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:28,200
Speaker 2: and it hasn't won, but they've got the money to

728
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 2: do that. And then we still have this NGO problem

729
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 2: where money is flowing out from taxpayers literally into Democrat

730
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 2: campaign coffers indirectly and this whole thing has got to

731
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 2: be broken down because this is the corrosive thing that

732
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 2: really Barack Obama put together on steroids that we've got

733
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 2: to get rid of so we can have a natural,

734
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:56,280
Speaker 2: normal approach to having fair elections and fair political activity.

735
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,439
Speaker 2: There's a lot of work to do, and Donald Trump

736
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 2: has to stay focused. And I'm going that he's being

737
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 2: purposeful like he was last night, and he says he's

738
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 2: going to try to put himself on the ballot so

739
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 2: to speak, this next time around. That's good, he needs

740
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: to do that. But if that's not effective, Democrats come

741
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 2: into power in January twenty twenty seven, and we've got

742
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: chaos for two years, and who knows what's going to

743
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: happen after that.

744
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Susie Wilde said, Trump is going to campaign

745
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: like it's twenty it's twenty twenty four, so we will

746
00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: see what happens. How big in your estimation is the

747
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:36,799
Speaker 1: fraud story out of Minneapolis and the Somalian community there?

748
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: How big is that is? That story?

749
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 2: It's huge in this sense, like we all know that

750
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: there's corruption like this going on. We know that Elon

751
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 2: Musk's efforts with Doge and those that continue thereafter have

752
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 2: shown a lot of problems. So we know that there's

753
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: a tip of the iceberg there. The Minnesota thing is

754
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,840
Speaker 2: the tip of the tip of the iceberg. And I

755
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 2: say that because it's a huge, huge story. We're talking

756
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 2: potentially eight billion dollars of fraud money. I just saw

757
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 2: a report today there was some lady who's a whistleblower,

758
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 2: a former TFA agent, who said she observed bags filled

759
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: with cash of small people who were flying out of

760
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,960
Speaker 2: the Minneapolis airport heading over to Somalia. And this is huge,

761
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 2: it's a huge story. But that should tell you that

762
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 2: we're talking literally hundreds of billions, maybe even up to

763
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:36,120
Speaker 2: a trillion dollars of fraud, wasting, abuse from various areas.

764
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: Every dollar that goes out to any NGO anywhere, we

765
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,759
Speaker 2: can be assured of ninety five percent sure that that

766
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: money's going to something nefarious. Just consider what Stacy Abrams

767
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,160
Speaker 2: was going to get. You go get two billion dollars

768
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 2: out of the Environmental Protection Agency that Lee Zelden stopped,

769
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 2: and she has no reason to receive that kind of money.

770
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 2: She was going to do. Her set up was going

771
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 2: to be very similar to what's happening in the Minnesota.

772
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 2: The whole design was helping people get energy efficient appliances

773
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 2: and stuff. They're going to give her two billion dollars

774
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: to promote that all times with anybody about a flying

775
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 2: So she's gonna walk away with the money.

776
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, are you talking about fraud? It is Yeah, that

777
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: the Stacy Abrahams thing is is just amazing and now

778
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 1: and gosh you and we've only got about ten seconds

779
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:30,320
Speaker 1: left here, but people are starting to look at ilhan

780
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: Omar and questioning how does she go from a net

781
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 1: worth of about sixty grand when she entered Congress and

782
00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: now a few years later her net worth is an

783
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: excess of thirty million dollars. How does that happens?

784
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 2: It's crazy and this is a big problem in Congress.

785
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 2: The only way you get rid of this is to

786
00:49:48,520 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: reduce government. That's one of the big things that we're

787
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 2: fighting for. But to make it short, since we have

788
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 2: a short amount of time, Tom Holman says that he's

789
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 2: there is investigator, there are investigations happening from his agency

790
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 2: in dah to look at her whether she's a valid

791
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 2: citizen or not. That does need to happen. And if

792
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:10,600
Speaker 2: there's something actionable there that can be adjudicated. She needs

793
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 2: to be stripped of her citizenship and sent out of

794
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,319
Speaker 2: this country. Like if we don't get serious about this

795
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: kind of thing and start greeting things in the right way,

796
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 2: that we're going to lose this country entirely. That was

797
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:24,960
Speaker 2: the whole design of Democrats anyway. So everyone said replacement

798
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 2: theory was, you know, a conspiracy theory. No, it was

799
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 2: very real. Democrats are still going to attempt to do that,

800
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 2: and we got a lot to fight for here so

801
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 2: that they can't get back into the kind of power

802
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 2: to do that again.

803
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 1: All right, Jim, we got to run as always, man,

804
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: Appreciate the time, Appreciate the insight. Conservative Caucuses is the website,

805
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: and keep up the great work, my friend, and we'll

806
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: be talking again before too long.

807
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 2: Thanks, Dan talks soon.

808
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, my buddy, Jim Faff from

809
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,319
Speaker 1: the Conservative Caucus ten twenty five at seven hundred WLW,

810
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:07,160
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW ten forty two, Dan Carroll till midnight tonight.

811
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: One of my favorite guests is a guy that always

812
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,879
Speaker 1: answers the call my buddy Charlie, not Charlie, but Curtis Halk.

813
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: I was like, I was looking at some other guy's name.

814
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: It was Charlie. I was thinking of Charlie Kirk because

815
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about Charlie Kirk in

816
00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: a minute. But Curtis Halk of NewsBusters, how are you tonight?

817
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 5: Good to be with my friends? How are you?

818
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:33,720
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm sure you are impressed by the bold

819
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:37,919
Speaker 1: and courageous reporting of the New York Times, who led

820
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: their Sunday edition with a front page story about Joseph

821
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:46,600
Speaker 1: Robin at Biden and his immigration policy. I'm sure you

822
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: were very impressed by that.

823
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 2: It took you.

824
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 5: I'm sure it took years.

825
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 2: Fourteen reporters on that show Frank Jake Tapper's book Dan,

826
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:58,879
Speaker 2: he did missed the story. They just missed it.

827
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, five years after the fact. Whatever,

828
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,439
Speaker 1: it's almost six years now.

829
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 5: Wait, so, like you need to tell me, guys New

830
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 5: York Times that like Biden's team tried to deny.

831
00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 2: Reality and then or.

832
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 5: They insisted everything was going to be fine, and then

833
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 5: when everything did go wrong, we're just going to deny

834
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:28,919
Speaker 5: reality and we're just thinking, like there are the old

835
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 5: adage that like if I don't think about it and

836
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,880
Speaker 5: I don't talk about it. It's not really happening. I

837
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 5: think that's really their approach there. And as we know,

838
00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 5: we all have things in our lives that we need

839
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 5: to address ourselves, but we keep putting it off. And

840
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of how it went for Team

841
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 5: Biden when it came to the border, except you know,

842
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 5: their inability to address their sins led to millions of

843
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 5: people coming across the border untold numbers because it'll keep

844
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 5: going up of families that would be you know, become

845
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:07,280
Speaker 5: angel moms as a result, and uh, you know, welfare frauds,

846
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 5: you know, all kinds of good stuff. And I think

847
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 5: it's rank your responsibility. And that's why I I was

848
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,359
Speaker 5: almost after Drew yesterday and I said, they are on

849
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 5: my naughty list. I mean, you are on my naughty list.

850
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 5: It's not surprising. But he made a really good point

851
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 5: at me, which is print can be sometimes even more

852
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 5: sinister than television. And I said, you know, that's a

853
00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 5: really good point because you think the radio and television,

854
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 5: because of time constraints, that's how you end up with

855
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,640
Speaker 5: you know, kind of rancorous bias. And that's certainly true.

856
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 5: But with in with print, you would think, because there's

857
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 5: more space available, you can engage in nuance. But a

858
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 5: lot we see here that uh, that doesn't necessarily mean

859
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,359
Speaker 5: it's a better product, but I.

860
00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: Mean it's a it's a it's a it's amazing. The

861
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: thing is, there are people who read that story this

862
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:04,160
Speaker 1: Sunday that read that and said, I had no idea.

863
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: Their jaws were dropping. Say, were you know, getting ready

864
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: to get that second bite of their datas there? Like, honey,

865
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,720
Speaker 1: do you see what happened with Joe Biden was doing?

866
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: I toast That's right, my bad? All right, let me

867
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: ask you, Let me ask you a question. I have

868
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: to admit I do not pay attention to the daily

869
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: rantings of Candae own. I have not been paying much

870
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: attention to Tucker Carlson, but I am seeing what is

871
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 1: going on with with these two individuals crop up more

872
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,840
Speaker 1: and more in mainstream debate. Am I missing? Am I

873
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,360
Speaker 1: missing something here? Do I need to start paying attention

874
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,120
Speaker 1: to what's going on with because I know she's got

875
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: some kind of conspiracy candae Owans does about what really

876
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: you know took place in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

877
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 1: And yeah, I saw you know, I saw Eric or

878
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 1: Kirk on Fox News over the weekend and on the

879
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:08,480
Speaker 1: Five on yesterday, and she was reacting to some of

880
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: this stuff. Do I need to know about what's happening

881
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: with this? Is this something I'm going to need to

882
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,280
Speaker 1: let my listeners know about?

883
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I definitely think so. I mean, obviously

884
00:55:19,680 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 5: there's a point about.

885
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 2: You know.

886
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 5: Their response and a retort from folks that are close

887
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:26,879
Speaker 5: to the White House is oh, this is the fight

888
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 5: against the left, and we cannot be engaged in these

889
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 5: kind of petty wars. But I think I tweet this

890
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 5: a few hours ago over the Great Joel Barry from

891
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:40,240
Speaker 5: the Babylon b which is this moment demands moral clarity.

892
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:42,840
Speaker 5: And if we are going to be the critique of

893
00:55:43,239 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 5: the vicious, godless, heartless left that we say we are

894
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 5: and that we are going to offer to our readers

895
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 5: and our audiences, then it requires some sort of moral compass, okay,

896
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 5: because we need to protect ourselves against being derided and

897
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 5: torn apart by people who clearly are cancers to the

898
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 5: conservative movement, specifically Candiceellans. I have been a critic of

899
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,799
Speaker 5: her since twenty eighteen, and I have taken way too

900
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 5: much bleep toy bleap from people about her saying that,

901
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 5: oh she's important and you shouldn't.

902
00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: Be saying this. Well, here I am, you.

903
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:26,960
Speaker 5: Know, many years later saying, you know, almost eight years

904
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 5: later saying oh I am vindicated. Unfortunately, to say that

905
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 5: the Egyptians or Jews or Charlie's staff had anything to

906
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 5: do with this, it's rancorous irresponsibility. She makes a lot

907
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 5: of money by just saying these things on social media

908
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 5: and rumble, and that's what's frustrating. And for Tucker to

909
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 5: kind of say, well, I don't really know what the

910
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 5: truth is, and we shouldn't really like trust anybody, so

911
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,640
Speaker 5: we should look into everything. You get to a certain

912
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 5: point where if you just say like, well, we don't

913
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 5: believe anything, then you know, then the world is just open,

914
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 5: and you know, we'll start talking about like black holes

915
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 5: like Don Lemon with the missing Malaysian plane, and we

916
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 5: make fun of it because that's what the left does.

917
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 5: But we're reaching that point with the right where we

918
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 5: don't trust that. We have this mantra of not trusting anything,

919
00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 5: so therefore now we're just gonna get into all sorts

920
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 5: of deranged conspiracy theories about Egyptian jets and Jews and

921
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 5: foreign cell phones.

922
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah and so, and look, I don't know again, I

923
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: really I don't know anything she has said about any

924
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,960
Speaker 1: of this stuff. I don't follow her. I don't pay

925
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: attention to what she says. Has there been any of

926
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: the stuff that she said in the past, Has any

927
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: of that stuff turned out to be legitimate any of it?

928
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,480
Speaker 5: No, there's been no evidence to any of this year.

929
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 5: And it's just it is so hurtful. And people have said,

930
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 5: I think that, you know, Charlie and Candice were friends

931
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 5: for a long time before Charlie met Erica, and people

932
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 5: have said there might have just been personal and I'm

933
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 5: osity there. I don't know, but it is. It's so

934
00:58:03,480 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 5: deranged and hurtful. I'm not never going to call for

935
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 5: these people to be kicked off their platforms, but you know,

936
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 5: with this becomes responsibility, and when you start saying I'm

937
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 5: the only voice, I'm the only true friend that Charlie

938
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 5: has and not including his widow, you cross the line,

939
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 5: especially because this isn't just about policy. This is involving

940
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 5: someone's public assassination on live TV more or less.

941
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: But in your estimation. Does this threaten to go beyond

942
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 1: just where it is right now in this correct in

943
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 1: this whole. I don't know if it's a subculture or

944
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:46,040
Speaker 1: how much of the of mainstream conservatism that this is

945
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: going to affect with people and with these people have

946
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 1: in this ongoing back and forth.

947
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, we I mean, you have to speak with moral clarity,

948
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 5: You have to speak with clarity and force. I mean,

949
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 5: and don't you know the left will bring up, well,

950
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 5: what about I support Donald Trumpet the Rice Price married, Yeah,

951
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 5: and they're like, this is now what we're talking about here, Okay,

952
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,920
Speaker 5: we are talking about someone who was murdered in cold blood,

953
00:59:12,480 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 5: plenty of DNA evidence, the training, lover all that stuff

954
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 5: going on, and we're just not there's an entire side

955
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,240
Speaker 5: of the rights that she was not talking about this,

956
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 5: that he was some sort of fall guy. And I mean,

957
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 5: I again, it's a distraction from honoring Charlie and continuing

958
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 5: his work at turning Point, which is firing on all cylinders.

959
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 5: And I say all this and as someone who had

960
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 5: plenty of issues with Charlie Kirker of the years, but

961
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:39,680
Speaker 5: you know, if we are really going to take this

962
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 5: to the left with Mom, Donnie. And you know, we

963
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 5: had the Democrats winning in Florida again. We had a

964
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 5: Saint Georgia state House seat flipped to the Democrats last night.

965
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 5: There's some serious stuff going on. Economic anxiety has settled

966
00:59:55,040 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 5: in with folks and it's gripping, you know, and has

967
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 5: the chance to really pull the party down next year.

968
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 5: And we have Somali stuff. I mean, there's so much

969
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 5: stuff going on that we could be that that folks

970
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 5: could be focused on.

971
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 2: But notice that.

972
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 5: Candice and uh Tucker are the ones who say we

973
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 5: need to be focused on the left, and they themselves

974
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 5: are not spending their airtime by talking about the left

975
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 5: really at all at all, of course, because we make

976
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 5: fun of them on a daily basis.

977
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: But well, we'll see what happens down the road. Uh,

978
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: Barry Wise has hired this guy, uh, Tony Dope. How

979
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: do you say his name? The coopleple, the cople Uh.

980
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: So can we expect anything different out of CBS News

981
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: now that this guy is going to be well.

982
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 5: See, we'll see again. You know the fact that Barry

983
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 5: is willing to try something different, you know. And Tony

984
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 5: he's married to Katie Turr, So that's unfortunate. He seems

985
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 5: like a very nice person, but you know, very extremely

986
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 5: five years and five years ago, he did this thing

987
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 5: about socialism where he you know, he did a pie

988
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:08,000
Speaker 5: and went to a mall before COVID and tried to

989
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 5: convince people that like, well we need to like have

990
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 5: multiple pies, or we need to take your part of

991
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 5: the pie and give it to these people. You know,

992
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 5: that whole like kind of elementary level nonsense. I would

993
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 5: refer to him as socialist. Co host Tony D. Koppel,

994
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 5: though Elizabeth Warren like praised him days later, being like

995
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 5: so amazing, that's so great. More people need to basically

996
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 5: think like this. But you know, two things happened. Number one,

997
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 5: Hamas October seventh, his ex wife and two teenage children

998
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 5: were living in Israel, so he wasn't sure for a

999
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 5: while they were okay. And then number two, I think

1000
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 5: what happened was, you know, with Tommy Hoasey Coats, where

1001
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:46,640
Speaker 5: he was nearly fired for simply telling Tommy he's coach. Yeah,

1002
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 5: it seems like you've written a book here that really

1003
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 5: seems to hate Jews, seems to call him the question

1004
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 5: whether Israel should exist. I have a right to exist,

1005
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 5: and so since then, he's what my colleague Dick Fondacaro

1006
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 5: has become Tony durredtill and you know, whether it's talking

1007
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 5: about Kimmel and Saalin, we're talking about campus protests by

1008
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 5: these you know, antisemitic moms. He has not been an

1009
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 5: out and out like conservatives. But the point is to

1010
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:20,880
Speaker 5: give voice too accurate and accurately so conservative arguments that, hey,

1011
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 5: half the country actually thinks the opposite of what we're

1012
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 5: all sitting here talking about, you know, ye, all right,

1013
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 5: which I think is accurate. We don't we don't want,

1014
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 5: we don't necessarily demand that all these journalists become Trump

1015
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 5: hat you know, maggya hat wearing partisans. That's not how

1016
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 5: journalism is supposed to work. But they're so much to

1017
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 5: present all side.

1018
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 1: So I hope let's see some of that. Yeah, I'll

1019
01:02:44,400 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: just try a little bit of that to get a

1020
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: lot of mileage out of and it might be amazing

1021
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,439
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens. I have, but curtis that

1022
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:52,040
Speaker 1: that's what you're there for, my friend, to keep an

1023
01:02:52,080 --> 01:02:54,520
Speaker 1: eye on all that stuff, and we'll be calling on

1024
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: you again before too long. But for now, we're going

1025
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 1: to believe it right there. I always appreciate the time,

1026
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,800
Speaker 1: keep up the great work, and we'll be talking to

1027
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: you again before too long.

1028
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 5: Absolutely, next time we'll have.

1029
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: The year for you, all right. I'll be looking forward

1030
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: to that. Curtis out the great Curtis House at NewsBusters

1031
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: dot org. And I always appreciate him being here. Ten

1032
01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: fifty four at seven hundred WLW right back on the

1033
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Big One seven LW. Dan Carroll till midnight tonight Wednesday

1034
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: night edition of The Midweek Crisis five one to three,

1035
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: seven eight hundred The Big One. Congressman Hank Johnson is

1036
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 1: back in the news today and he has recently been

1037
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: praised by an organization, the American Arab Anti Discrimination Committee,

1038
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: and they say, we need to thank Hank Johnson for

1039
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:56,960
Speaker 1: taking a stand of being a strong voice for Palestinian rights,

1040
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: a strong voice for Palestinian rights. So Hank Johnson was

1041
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:06,840
Speaker 1: on some podcast and he was, I guess, expressing his

1042
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:12,000
Speaker 1: strong voice from Palestinian rights. And here's how he did that.

1043
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: He called he did that by calling America the number

1044
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:19,720
Speaker 1: one bully and Satan. Let's let's hear the congressman here, Joe,

1045
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: Let's hear cut number one if we could please.

1046
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, we we are the world's number one bully and

1047
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 6: we're using our immense, unrifled power to rule over those

1048
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,800
Speaker 6: who have less power, and we're doing it with impunity.

1049
01:04:43,400 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 6: And this sends a shocking message to the world that

1050
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:53,280
Speaker 6: America is indeed uh the what did what did they

1051
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 6: used to call the Great Hand of Satan or something

1052
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 6: like that. I mean, America under the Trump regime is

1053
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 6: demonstrating that that moniker was was entirely accurate. All right,

1054
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,360
Speaker 6: become in this country.

1055
01:05:12,000 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 1: Hank Johnson that this this guy is a sitting member

1056
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: of Congress and he's got the nerve to go on

1057
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,240
Speaker 1: some podcast and talk about how America is the Great Satan,

1058
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,520
Speaker 1: great friend of the Palestinian freedom. I mean, this guy

1059
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: has gone from being an amiable dunce to someone who's

1060
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: really dangerous. And if you if the name Hank Johnson

1061
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: sounds familiar, that's because it should sound familiar, because this

1062
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: is Hank Johnson, and this is the SoundBite we all

1063
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:49,919
Speaker 1: know him for. And let's go ahead and hear cut

1064
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 1: number two.

1065
01:05:51,760 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 7: It's from shore to shore and at the smallest level,

1066
01:05:55,160 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 7: the smallest uh location, it's uh seven miles between one.

1067
01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,360
Speaker 1: Shore and the other. Is that correct? I don't have

1068
01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: the exact dimensions, but to your point, sir, I think

1069
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: Wall is a small island.

1070
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 7: Very small island, and about twenty four miles if I

1071
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 7: recall long, twenty four miles long, about seven miles wide

1072
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 7: at the least widest place on the island in about

1073
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 7: twenty about twelve miles wide on the widest part of

1074
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 7: the island. And I don't know how many square miles

1075
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 7: that that is.

1076
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 2: Do you happen to know? I don't have that figure withness,

1077
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 2: or I can certainly supply it to you if you like.

1078
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 7: My fear is that the whole island will become so

1079
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 7: overly populated that it will tip over and catchsize.

1080
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 2: We don't anticipate that. Yeah, there you go.

1081
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: So they're saying Johnson, Hey, wait, what an absolute fool

Speaker 1: a brand new website out. You really need to check

1085

Speaker 1: up individuals who've already had judgments made against them that

1093
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: they need to get the hell out of the country.

Speaker 1: Harry, Christmas and all that?

1120
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:41,640
Speaker 2: You know?

1121
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 8: I gotta wonder. You know, when I took the oath

1122
01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 8: for the military, it was I remember a line and

1123
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 8: it was very distinctive to me. It says, defend against

1124
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:58,879
Speaker 8: enemies foreign and domestic.

1125
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Foreign and domestic guests. I bet you remember that too, Yes,

1126
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:04,719
Speaker 1: I do, quite well.

1127
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:08,600
Speaker 8: The thing is that I don't understand with all this

1128
01:10:08,840 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 8: crazy lefts going and going off, why does the conservative right.

1129
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 8: I'm an independent, but I'm conservative, And why do we

1130
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:22,200
Speaker 8: ignore these things? Why do we stay home? Why don't

1131
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 8: we defend these things? It annoys me to no end.

1132
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 8: I mean, I would love to have the authority to

1133
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 8: find a thug when I ever found one and escort

1134
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 8: into the police. How come we can't do that? How

1135
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,840
Speaker 8: can we have to wait for the police a very

1136
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 8: small group to police a whole city. How come we

1137
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 8: can't police our communities?

1138
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I want.

1139
01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: It's you don't want to cross that line where you're

1140
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: taking along into your own hands.

1141
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 8: I got it. I gotta tell you, Dan, I police

1142
01:11:05,320 --> 01:11:08,920
Speaker 8: my little community here as far as I can reach

1143
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 8: about six houses in every direction.

1144
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 2: I mean, that's all I can do.

1145
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 8: But how come we can't do that as a conglomerate

1146
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 8: across our world, our nation?

1147
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 2: How come we can't say, Hey, my neighbor is.

1148
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 8: A thug from somewhere else doing something crappy.

1149
01:11:32,240 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 2: And you need to come and get him. How can

1150
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 2: we don't do that?

1151
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 1: Well, if you want to drop if you want to

1152
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:39,800
Speaker 1: drop time on your neighbor that you think is doing

1153
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: something that he or she shouldn't be doing, you're well

1154
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:44,599
Speaker 1: within your your your rights to do that.

Speaker 2: I'm can't.

1156
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 1: But you can't go out there. You can't go and

1157
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: entertain them and arrest them yourself. I mean, that's it.

1158
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 1: It's just part of the civilized society that we have.

1159
01:11:56,760 --> 01:11:59,680
Speaker 8: Well, what you know, foreign and domestic, what happened to

Speaker 8: the citizens are rest.

1161
01:12:02,880 --> 01:12:05,160
Speaker 1: Well, as a member of the military, you're taking that

1162
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,439
Speaker 1: oath to defend the country from enemies foreign and domestic.

Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's that. Well, that's why, that's why we

1173
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: have people like Ice. That's why we have law enforcement,

1174

Speaker 1: local and federal, and we have to we have to

01:13:30,920 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: for Palestinian rights. And this guy is a sitting member

1184
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 1: of Congress who goes out there and talks about how

1185
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:42,679
Speaker 1: America is the great Satan that I mean that that

1186
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 1: that really that is just it is beyond disgraceful.

1187
01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 9: But Dan, I agree with you one hundred percent. The

1188
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 9: man should be impeached. These are people that hate America.

1189
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,960
Speaker 9: Did we talked about this starting a couple of years ago.

1190
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 9: These people do not love America. They do not believe

1191
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 9: in America. They don't believe in the American dream, they

1192
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 9: don't believe in capitalism, they don't believe in our way

1193
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 9: of life. These people are coming to America, they're not assimilating.

1194
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 9: They want their own own way, you know. And and

1195
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:19,000
Speaker 9: guys like that need to be impeached. They need to

1196
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 9: be removed. You know. The Democrats have declared war on us.

1197
01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 9: I hope we understand. They don't agree with anything that

1198
01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:31,160
Speaker 9: Donald Trump does. Nothing, They opposed everything he stands for.

1199
01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 9: You know, you've had many in the last week that

1200
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 9: have talked about power. That's what these people want, their Marxists.

1201
01:14:38,200 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 9: They want complete power. They want to put everybody under

1202
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 9: their thumb. They want to tell you what to do,

1203
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 9: when to do, and how to do it. You know,

1204
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:51,599
Speaker 9: too many Americans are so naive in they don't understand

1205
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 9: what these people are all about and what they're capable

1206
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 9: of doing. You know, these people to reality, they're blind.

1207
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 9: That's what makes them an ideal alogue. They don't want

1208
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 9: to deal with reality. They don't want to deal with

1209
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 9: common sense. All they want to deal with is what

1210
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:13,639
Speaker 9: they think the world should be. And these people are crazy.

1211
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 9: Jolano mar should be removed from this country, as you know,

1212
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:19,400
Speaker 9: it's been.

1213
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 1: Keen to her brother.

1214
01:15:24,720 --> 01:15:25,760
Speaker 2: You know, that's.

1215
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:29,640
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of people questioning now how she

1216
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: goes from a net worth of about sixty grand to

1217
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: an excess of thirty million in the span of just

1218
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:42,519
Speaker 1: a few short years. And you don't do that just

1219
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:43,919
Speaker 1: on a congressional salary.

1220
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 9: So there's she's never had a real job. You know,

1221
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:50,160
Speaker 9: she's never had a real job. She doesn't have a

1222
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 9: real education. You know, she's a thief, she's a liar,

1223
01:15:54,680 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 9: and she's a thief. You know, ninety five percent of

1224
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 9: some minds are liars, con artists, and thiefs. You know,

1225
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 9: they were pirateing ships around South Africa for thirty years.

1226
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:10,720
Speaker 9: You know, that's all the people are. They've got to

1227
01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 9: conclave out there in Saint Paul. They're practicing Sharia law

1228
01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 9: as they're practicing in Michigan and dearborn Sharia law. You know,

1229
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,719
Speaker 9: we got people in Texas trying to practice Sharia law.

1230
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 9: I hope your listeners didn't understand. Sharia law is one

1231
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 9: of the worst things ever for women. You know, women

1232
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 9: have no rights under Sharia law.

1233
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: It's horrific. It is absolutely horrific, and a large I

1234
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 1: would wager that the vast majority, if not almost all,

1235
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 1: of these young individuals, and especially the women who think

1236
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 1: it's cool to support candidates like Mandani, who think it's

1237
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:57,600
Speaker 1: cool to put a heat job on or cool to

1238
01:16:58,479 --> 01:17:01,559
Speaker 1: you know, put on the burka and pretend like you're

1239
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 1: a Muslim, and you know, talk about how America, like

1240
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: like Hank Johnson says America is the Great Satan. They

1241
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 1: have absolutely no clue of what goes on when when

1242
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 1: you have Islam as the dominant force, not not just

1243
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: as a religious force, but as a political force as well.

1244
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,479
Speaker 9: Well, what would women what would they do if they

1245
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 9: knew that in certain situations they can be stoned to

1246
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 9: death because their husband accuses them of adultery.

1247
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,839
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they're they're the equivalent. They're the equivalent of cattle.

1248
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: Why they are the equivalent of property to be owned

1249
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 1: by men. And when you're and you're talking about what

1250
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:50,000
Speaker 1: goes on in Somalia, the Center for Immigration Studies just

1251
01:17:50,080 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: put out a report looking at the Somali population in Minnesota,

1252
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:59,360
Speaker 1: and it's a it's more than seventy five thousand individuals,

1253
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:02,439
Speaker 1: and they report that in more than half, fifty two

1254
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: percent of the children in the immigrant homes, the Somali

1255
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: immigrant homes in Minnesota live in poverty. Only eight percent

1256
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: of the children in native headed homes are let me see,

1257
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 1: while only eight percent of the children native head of

1258
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: native headed homes that's they're talking about Americans here, eight

1259
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:28,759
Speaker 1: percent are in poverty. One in eight children in poverty

1260
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: in Minnesota lives in a Somali immigrant home. Thirty nine

1261
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: percent of the working age Somalis have no high school diploma,

1262
01:18:36,479 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: compared to just five percent of Native Minnesotas. Among working

1263
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: age adults, Somalis who have lived in the US for

1264
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: more than ten years still cannot speak English very well.

1265
01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent of Somali headed households in Minnesota receive

1266
01:18:51,960 --> 01:18:55,640
Speaker 1: food stamps. Seventy three percent of Somali households have at

1267
01:18:55,720 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: least one member on Medicaid. Comparative figures for Native households

1268
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: are seven percent and eighteen percent. So they're comparing the

1269
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: Somali population to the native population of Minnesota, and it

1270
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:14,440
Speaker 1: is in just about every category, and in every category

1271
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: you've got the vast majority live in poverty and are

1272
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:21,599
Speaker 1: on some sort of government largess.

1273
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 9: And that violates every tenant of our immigration policy to

1274
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 9: come to America. You come to America because you have

1275
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 9: something to provide us. We don't want you not to

1276
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 9: leach off of us. We're not supposed to feed you.

1277
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 9: We're not supposed to clothe you. We're not supposed to

1278
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 9: house you. We're not supposed to provide you medical care.

1279
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 9: These are things that you're supposed to be doing on

1280
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 9: your own. We're not a babysitter for the world. And

1281
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 9: that's what they've turned this upside down. In the Simon population,

1282
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 9: seventy percent of them that vote in are illegal and

1283
01:19:54,040 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 9: their votes are counted because Minnesota doesn't require any sort

1284
01:19:58,280 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 9: of idea of any kind.

1285
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully, hopefully, Ken, all this is going to get

1286
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 1: exposed and dealt with in a serious way. But for now,

1287
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: we got to run. We got to get to a break.

1288
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 1: But Ken has always been I appreciate you listen and

1289
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: appreciate you picking up the phone.

1290
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:13,920
Speaker 9: Hi, Dane, have a good.

1291
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 1: One, all right, Ken from Mason, Thank you very much.

1292
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 1: Eleven twenty five, seven hundred WLW back on the Big one,

1293
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW eleven And apparently some bad weather is

1294
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 1: moving in, so you're out there, be careful. And if

1295
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 1: if you listened to me on the radio on doing

1296
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:42,080
Speaker 1: this show, especially during this time slot, and you know

1297
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: that one of the one of the topics that I

1298
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:48,719
Speaker 1: talk I talk about a lot and did talk about

1299
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,880
Speaker 1: a lot when during the Biden administration was the unaccompanied

1300
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: minor children they came into this country And what an absolute,

1301
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: what an absolute it is going to be on the

1302
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: history of this country. And I came across an article

1303
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: in American Thinkers was written by Kevin Finn, and it

1304
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:19,599
Speaker 1: just It just sums up the whole history of this

1305
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:24,920
Speaker 1: quite well, and Kevin Finn writes in the History of

1306
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 1: American Governance, few chapters will stain the page as darkly

1307
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: as the utter failure of the Biden Harris administration to

1308
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: safeguard unaccompanied migrant children. I must ask this question, if

1309
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: their goal was to intentionally traffic children into sexual slaver

1310
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:46,799
Speaker 1: re enforced labor, how would their actions have been any different?

1311
01:21:48,600 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 1: For four catastrophic years, vulnerable miners poured across the Rio

1312
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Grande and were funneled into a system riddled with incompetence,

1313
01:21:56,520 --> 01:22:00,800
Speaker 1: willful blindness, and flat out in negligence. A report from

1314
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Securities Office of Inspector General landed

1315
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: like a bomb and exposed a tragedy. The administration lost

1316
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:13,080
Speaker 1: track of over three hundred and twenty thousand of these children,

1317
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:17,439
Speaker 1: releasing them to unvetted sponsors without so much as a

1318
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:23,839
Speaker 1: whisper of accountability. These were terrified kids fleeing poverty or violence,

1319
01:22:23,960 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 1: only to vanish in the shadows of sex, trafficking, forced labor,

1320
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:33,439
Speaker 1: and unimaginable abuse. I must ask this question, why would

1321
01:22:33,479 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 1: parents send unaccompanied minor children on a trip across hundreds

1322
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:42,840
Speaker 1: or thousands of miles, knowing the likelihood that they would

1323
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: be raped, otherwise abused, and forced into slavery. Where were

1324
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: they greasing the skids for chain or were they greasing

1325
01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 1: the skids for chain migration? The human cost defies comprehension.

1326
01:22:56,320 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: Young girls sixteen years or younger drugged in by alleged

1327
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 1: brothers or uncles. This was the very definition of the

1328
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: dereliction of duty that prioritized open borders over innocent lives.

1329
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: HHS stripped away rigorous vetting at the onset of Biden's

1330
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:19,120
Speaker 1: reign of error, opting for phone calls instead of in

1331
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: person checks, permitting non family sponsors many hosting multiple children

1332
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: to whisk away miners. Unchecked addresses provided to ICE were

1333
01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: eighty percent wrong or wrong eighty percent of the time

1334
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:39,639
Speaker 1: incomplete for over thirty one thousand kids or downright fictional.

1335
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: Thirty four children were dumped at two non existent locations

1336
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: by one field office alone. Even worse, a twenty twenty

1337
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:55,639
Speaker 1: one interagency packed handcuffed information sharing blocked DHS from sponsor

1338
01:23:55,720 --> 01:24:03,120
Speaker 1: biometrics to shield potential criminals from scrutiny. Law enforcement officers

1339
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:08,520
Speaker 1: likened prying data from HHS to pulling teeth as bureaucrats

1340
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:12,479
Speaker 1: fretted over deporting sponsors with rap sheets or immigration status

1341
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: because of racism. The result over two hundred and thirty

1342
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:23,800
Speaker 1: three thousand children unrolled in immigration proceedings are unenrolled, I

1343
01:24:23,800 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: should say, in immigration proceedings since January of twenty twenty one,

1344
01:24:28,080 --> 01:24:32,799
Speaker 1: plus forty three thousand nose shows in court prime targets

1345
01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 1: for cartels, surging and trafficking. Whistleblowers like Tara Rota, former

1346
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:45,479
Speaker 1: HHS recruit, exposed the whrror handcuffing kids to traffickers, members

1347
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:50,879
Speaker 1: of transitional crime organizations, bad bad people. In a final insult,

1348
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: the administration's vaunted safety hotline for these kids ignored sixty

1349
01:24:55,680 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: five thousand desperate calls from August of twenty twenty three

1350
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 1: to January of twenty twenty five. Please that span complaints

1351
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:11,000
Speaker 1: about stale bread to nightly assaults by men in bedrooms.

1352
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,639
Speaker 1: Of course, it was hard to answer all those calls

1353
01:25:13,680 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: when there was only a single staffer assigned to the task.

1354
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:22,920
Speaker 1: One boy's unanswered cries for help were finally reviewed after

1355
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Trump took office and led to his rescue and his

1356
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:32,200
Speaker 1: sponsor's arrest. As with so many Democrat run operations, fraud

1357
01:25:32,320 --> 01:25:38,000
Speaker 1: was rampant. Over six billion dollars flowed to NGOs like

1358
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: Endeavors and Southwest Key, whose revenues exploded from fifty two

1359
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: million to one point one eight billion in two years,

1360
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:56,320
Speaker 1: with CEO paid doubling. These nonprofits ninety seven to ninety

1361
01:25:56,400 --> 01:26:02,719
Speaker 1: nine percent federally funded, became enablers, hiring staff without background checks,

1362
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: letting men roam and female dorms, and even staging sexually

1363
01:26:08,120 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: explicit twerking lessons for teen girls. They shuttled miners to

1364
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: flights like unwitting an unwilling cargo, while eighty percent of

1365
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:24,240
Speaker 1: sheltered women bore scars of cartel rape en route. Senate

1366
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:29,640
Speaker 1: Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassly hammered home the point Biden crewe

1367
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:35,959
Speaker 1: chose where Biden's crew chose speed and optics over safety,

1368
01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 1: releasing twenty four thousand, one hundred kids into high risk,

1369
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: distant relatives or strangers in gang infested motels. His referrals

1370
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: sparked one hundred two investigations and pierced the veil of secrecy. Meanwhile,

1371
01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: the Democrats maintained a stunning silence, avoid where outrage should

1372
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 1: have thundered. No fire speeches for the lost, no needs taken,

1373
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:08,439
Speaker 1: an emancipation hall, no demand for reform. Instead, they doubled

1374
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:12,799
Speaker 1: down on the very policies that unleash this nightmare, shielding

1375
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:16,680
Speaker 1: illegal aliens and the criminal networks that preyed on these innocents.

1376
01:27:18,320 --> 01:27:22,599
Speaker 1: Their compassion rings hollow when it excuses the traffickers and

1377
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:29,479
Speaker 1: the NGOs, fattening off federal largesse. Even as Grassley's probes

1378
01:27:29,560 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: exposed the firewall of secrecy, the left blocked bills to

1379
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: protect these children from sexual harm. The left new agenda

1380
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:46,919
Speaker 1: empathy for invaders and indifference to the victims they devour.

1381
01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: The NGOs were the shadowy middlemen in this tragedy, flush

1382
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 1: with taxpayer dollars, yet entangled in political webs that may

1383
01:27:56,240 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 1: explain the hush. From twenty twenty one to twenty twenty four,

1384
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: the federal government funded over ten billion dollars in grants

1385
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 1: to immigration nonprofits for UAC services, unaccompanied Children's services. Catholic

1386
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: charities alone, and I've talked about Catholic charities before. Catholic

1387
01:28:20,200 --> 01:28:26,920
Speaker 1: charities alone pocketed two billion Lutheran immigration and refugee Services

1388
01:28:27,320 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 1: two hundred twenty one million dollars in fiscal year twenty

1389
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: twenty three, and another group, HIAS forty point nine million.

1390
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 1: The quid pro quo whispers grow louder when you follow

1391
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:46,639
Speaker 1: the money to campaigns. Open Secrets data shows Catholic charities,

1392
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: affiliated or affiliates and employees donated over one hundred and

1393
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 1: forty one thousand dollars to the twenty twenty four cycle

1394
01:28:56,240 --> 01:29:01,479
Speaker 1: election cycle. That is ninety five percent to Democrats twenty

1395
01:29:01,479 --> 01:29:06,559
Speaker 1: two three hundred and five across forty blue lawmakers versus

1396
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 1: a pittance to Republicans. As a Catholic, I'm disgusted and scandalized.

1397
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:18,519
Speaker 1: Broader Professional Catholic Network skewed ninety nine percent Democrat for

1398
01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:24,639
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty four analysis, fueling packs like Immigrants lists

1399
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:28,760
Speaker 1: that poured millions in the pro open border candidates. Even

1400
01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 1: obtmptibly neutral groups like US Immigration Fund funneled two hundred

1401
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 1: and seventy two thousand dollars in twenty twenty four with

1402
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 1: chunks to Democrat leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, who pocketed or

1403
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 1: his campaign did pocketed fifteen thousand dollars. This financial symbiosis

1404
01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: breeds silence. Lawmakers reliant on NGO lobbying seven hundred and

1405
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 1: thirty million spent on immigration since two thousand and eight,

1406
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:01,720
Speaker 1: hesitate to buy at the hand that funds their reelection.

1407
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: Between January of twenty three and April of twenty twenty four,

1408
01:30:05,920 --> 01:30:12,360
Speaker 1: US political campaigns collected around eight point six billion. Democrats,

1409
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 1: the primary beneficiaries, shield the system that sustains their basis priorities.

1410
01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:21,679
Speaker 1: Republicans grandstand, but lack the votes for reform until now.

1411
01:30:22,760 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 1: Children are lost not just to traffickers, but to a

1412
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:32,559
Speaker 1: political machine greased by grants and gratitude. President Trump and

1413
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 1: his unyielding board result bar borders are Tom Homan a

1414
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:42,639
Speaker 1: hercules for our time, slaying the bureaucratic dragons Biden left

1415
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:47,720
Speaker 1: in his way. Since inauguration Day, Trump's iron fisted enforcement

1416
01:30:47,720 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: has sealed the border zero releases in seven months, five

1417
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:55,599
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine thousand removals and two point two

1418
01:30:55,880 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: million total departures, the most secure frontier in history. But

1419
01:31:01,200 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: the real miracle over sixty two thousand, four hundred missing

1420
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:12,559
Speaker 1: children Biden's cast offs, ignored and untracked, have been found

1421
01:31:12,800 --> 01:31:17,759
Speaker 1: and freed. Homan's eyes glued to the daily tallies revealed

1422
01:31:17,800 --> 01:31:20,680
Speaker 1: on Fox News, over sixty two thousand children found by

1423
01:31:20,680 --> 01:31:24,439
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, children that weren't even being looked for

1424
01:31:24,640 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: under the Biden administration. Trump saved over sixty two thousand

1425
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:36,759
Speaker 1: lives of children, sex trafficking rings, dismantled forced labor camps,

1426
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:42,280
Speaker 1: raided horrors too vile for the airwaves unearthed on ex

1427
01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:46,880
Speaker 1: Homan hailed the unsung heroes of hhs ICE and the FBI.

1428
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:50,719
Speaker 1: They will not stop until we run down every lead

1429
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:56,800
Speaker 1: on every missing child. Trump's no nonsense leadership requires no

1430
01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:03,080
Speaker 1: new laws, just resolve, and border crossings have been slashed

1431
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 1: to zero, starving the cartels, reclaiming the innocent. This is

1432
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:14,639
Speaker 1: redemption and action from Biden's abyss of nearly a half

1433
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:19,280
Speaker 1: million ghosts to Trump's tally of triumphs. Yet the scars

1434
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: linger a grim testament to left to the leftist priorities.

1435
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:27,760
Speaker 1: As Holman put it, Trump proves daily why he's the

1436
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:29,600
Speaker 1: greatest president in my lifetime.

1437
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:34,280
Speaker 2: And that.

1438
01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 1: Is, if you haven't heard about this, if you don't

1439
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:47,080
Speaker 1: know anything about it, it's beyond shameful that this could

1440
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:52,320
Speaker 1: happen in the United States of America and anytime I

1441
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 1: hear anyone talk about what a great president Joe Biden

1442
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: was or how great Kamala Harris was, this is what

1443
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:02,360
Speaker 1: I think about, and how they let this happen under

1444
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:05,800
Speaker 1: their watch, and pray to God that it never happens again.

1445
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:08,680
Speaker 1: Time for me to go. I'll see you tomorrow night,

1446
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,000
Speaker 1: right back here on the Home of the Reds and

1447
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,840
