Speaker 1: All right, back on the Big One seven hundred WLW
Speaker 1: nine seven Dan Carrol till midnight tonight. This is the
Speaker 1: Wednesday night edition of the Midweek Crisis. Glad to be here.
Speaker 1: Glad you are here as well. Phone lines are open
Speaker 1: five to one to three, seven four nine, seven, eight
Speaker 1: hundred the Big One and no guests. First hour. I
Speaker 1: do have my buddy Jim Faff from the Conservative Caucus.
Speaker 1: He'll be here. We'll talk about some of the day's
Speaker 1: events and what's going on in DC, what's going on
Speaker 1: with Trump, stuff like that. And then Curtis Howt we'll
Speaker 1: be here from NewsBusters. It's a it's amazing. The New
Speaker 1: York Times wrote a piece about Joe Biden and how
Speaker 1: uh how ineffective his his border policy was just about
Speaker 1: five years too late. But uh, you know, I mean this,
Speaker 1: I guess better late than never. I guess the you know,
Speaker 1: the the paper of record wanted to get on record
Speaker 1: with recognizing what was painfully obvious, and so they, uh
Speaker 1: they went ahead and and and you know, took the
Speaker 1: journalistic risk to to write a piece that was critical
Speaker 1: of the of the Biden administration. Absolutely unbelievable, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know why I hold out hope
Speaker 1: on things. And look, I know it's the we're getting.
Speaker 1: Christmas is not that far away. It's the holiday season,
Speaker 1: and I'm supposed to talk about tips for decorating your tree,
Speaker 1: the best way to make make that batch of cookies,
Speaker 1: you know, elf on the shelf, all those kind of
Speaker 1: holiday topics, fighting the crowds, the mall, all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. Now, if I mean, if you want that
Speaker 1: kind of talk, I'm gonna have to direct the elsewhere
Speaker 1: because that's but I just, you know, I mean, I
Speaker 1: hold out hope. I hold out hope that people in
Speaker 1: elected office will just stop being so predictable, that they'll
Speaker 1: stand up and do things that may not seem like
Speaker 1: the popular thing to do. That uh maybe you know,
Speaker 1: maybe they'll they'll swim against the tide a little bit.
Speaker 1: I kind of hope that some members of Cincinnati City
Speaker 1: Council would you would look with an open mind at
Speaker 1: this ordinance that seeks to pay individuals who got arrested
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati because they violated the curfew they had to
Speaker 1: They were they were made a little bit uncomfortable maybe
Speaker 1: during their visit to the Hamilton County Justice Center maybe
Speaker 1: they didn't get and I didn't get their potty break
Speaker 1: right away. You know, maybe they had to they wait
Speaker 1: for a bottle of water. Maybe maybe they're sleeping. Accommodations
Speaker 1: weren't all that great. But I was hoping that maybe
Speaker 1: one or two at least would look at this ordinance
Speaker 1: and say, you know what, we cannot send the message.
Speaker 1: And I heard Scottie Johnson the SoundBite of Scottie Johnson
Speaker 1: at the newscast, not this past one at the top
Speaker 1: of the hour, but the one that rolled at eight there,
Speaker 1: and Joe, I should have ask you. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you have access to the soundbites that the newsroom has,
Speaker 1: but Scottie Johnson said, you know, we need to let
Speaker 1: people know that you can't come to Cincinnati break our laws.
Speaker 1: I protest in the streets and then get paid for it.
Speaker 1: I mean he prefaced that by saying that, Look, we're
Speaker 1: all about peaceful protest First Amendment, and I don't know
Speaker 1: anyone who is in disagreement with that. With that, I
Speaker 1: certainly am not. I'm about peaceful protest all day long.
Speaker 1: You want to go out, you want to make your
Speaker 1: voice heard, do it the right way. But if you're
Speaker 1: out there protesting and police come up and say, hey, look,
Speaker 1: our mayor has put a curfew in place. We had
Speaker 1: some damage last night, had some windows broken out in businesses,
Speaker 1: Hamilton County Justice Center. We've had a couple of nights
Speaker 1: of some serious violence, some property damage. The mayor has said,
Speaker 1: no more curfew, eight o'clock, clear the streets. And when
Speaker 1: you disobey that lawful order, when you disobey the police,
Speaker 1: it does a chance you're going to get arrested. There's
Speaker 1: a chance you're going to get booked into the Hamilton
Speaker 1: County Justice Center. And so when you do, and there's
Speaker 1: more than four hundred of you, yeah, it's going to
Speaker 1: take a little time in the process through. And then
Speaker 1: a couple of years after the fact, someone decides, well,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe we got a lawsuit here. So
Speaker 1: they go ahead and sue, and the city decides, you
Speaker 1: know what, we got to settle this thing. I saw
Speaker 1: a SoundBite a cut of and I believe it is
Speaker 1: the city solicitor, and I must apologize. I do not
Speaker 1: know her. I should have looked it up, but I
Speaker 1: listened to her telling members of council that if we
Speaker 1: take this to trial, it could cost a lot more.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Yeah, we let a jury get a
Speaker 1: hold of this, so this might be wound up being
Speaker 1: very expensive.
Speaker 2: This could.
Speaker 1: This could be you know, it cost a lot of money.
Speaker 1: These people had their they had their rights violated. Are
Speaker 1: you serious challenge them on this? Hey? How badly were
Speaker 1: their rights? Violet? Did anyone get hurt? Was there any
Speaker 1: damage done? Did we make a promise down the line
Speaker 1: or some of you somewhere beforehand that if you violate
Speaker 1: the city curfew, if you disobey the orders of police
Speaker 1: and you get arrested, that your trip to the Justice
Speaker 1: center is going to be conducted in complete comfort. Do
Speaker 1: we know where the jury is going to come from
Speaker 1: on this? And the former prosecutor told me that they
Speaker 1: were in a trial like this, this to be a
Speaker 1: federal this would be you know, they were going to
Speaker 1: see if they violated their federal rights. This'll be a
Speaker 1: federal trial. I'm gonna get jurists from Claremont County, from
Speaker 1: Brown County, maybe from Highland County, from Warren County, the
Speaker 1: Butler County. Not all gonna come from downtown Cincinnati. Not
Speaker 1: everyone thinks the same, but we still it's still needs.
Speaker 1: You know, this settlement deal needed the approval of city council,
Speaker 1: and City Council unanimously approves eight point one million dollars
Speaker 1: to settle the protest, two million in change to the
Speaker 1: attorneys somewhere between ten and twelve, and according to Fox
Speaker 1: nineteen thirteen, grand Per protested, I at least hope they
Speaker 1: have to pay taxes in that? Is that asking too much?
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd admit, maybe you can fill me in.
Speaker 1: I've never been part of a settlement like this. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I get those things in the mail. On those and
Speaker 1: you've probably seen them. They're about the size of them,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit bigger than a postcard, about the
Speaker 1: postcard size, and the printing is very small. Hey, you're
Speaker 1: part of the class action lawsuit. Your identity may have
Speaker 1: been revealed because you have X, Y or Z credit card,
Speaker 1: or you know your your terms of service for your
Speaker 1: cable package weren't exactly forthright. And then when you take
Speaker 1: the time to read them, you know, you see that,
Speaker 1: you know you're part of the class and you got
Speaker 1: these lawyers and those lawyers, and you know this much
Speaker 1: money is going to be set aside, and you're going
Speaker 1: to get a coupon for fifty percent off your next subscription,
Speaker 1: or each member of the class is going to be
Speaker 1: entitled to somewhere between twelve dollars and seventy eight cents
Speaker 1: and uh, maybe eighty nine dollars. So I've never been,
Speaker 1: and really, is it even is it worth the time?
Speaker 1: Is it worth the effort to pay? I have not
Speaker 1: seen one yet. Maybe one of these days some class
Speaker 1: class action thing will uppear in my mailbox. That'll be
Speaker 1: worth the effort to actually fill it out and jump
Speaker 1: through whatever hoops you got to jump through. But I've
Speaker 1: never been through part of a class settlement where you
Speaker 1: stand to reap a ten or twelve thousand dollars windfall?
Speaker 1: Do you pay taxes on that? How is that? How
Speaker 1: does that work out? Do you fill out of ten
Speaker 1: ninety nine? I should get her court Hartman on Maybe
Speaker 1: he knows how these things work. I certainly hope the
Speaker 1: lawyers have to pay tax on their two million dollar
Speaker 1: plus windfall. I guess that's that's how lawyers work. That's
Speaker 1: their income, so I'm sure they got to pay taxes
Speaker 1: on that. But if if you're part of the settlement,
Speaker 1: do you pay taxes on is it like, is it
Speaker 1: like an inheritance? If someone, God forbid, someone in your
Speaker 1: family passes away, they leave you some money. In some
Speaker 1: cases there's taxes to be paid on that. So hopefully
Speaker 1: at least these individuals will feel the sting of the
Speaker 1: tax man a little bit. But I was just hoping
Speaker 1: that one or two members of council would stand up
Speaker 1: and say, you know, we ought to take this thing
Speaker 1: to court. I'm not I'm not seeing a lot here
Speaker 1: that I'm really concerned about. You know, you got all
Speaker 1: these agitators out there. And yes, I use the word
Speaker 1: thugs the other day in reference to those individuals who
Speaker 1: would and I saw the video and for the when
Speaker 1: I when I first learned of this settlement, the first
Speaker 1: flashback I had of that was the video I saw
Speaker 1: of these individuals with a police barricade smashing it into
Speaker 1: a window at the Justice center. Big old you know
Speaker 1: what are those windows? Ten feet high? Twelve feet high?
Speaker 1: Pretty big window, just smashed it. So yeah, I called
Speaker 1: them thugs to my way of thinking, anyone that that
Speaker 1: that does that smashes the window of a justice center,
Speaker 1: smashes the window, does damage to a small business downtown,
Speaker 1: That that to me is acting like a thug. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna stand by them, But I would
Speaker 1: just I would just hope that we would have one
Speaker 1: or two members of council that would say, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not seeing a lot of a lot of finding
Speaker 1: a fact here. I'm not seeing that strong of a
Speaker 1: case that somehow that compels the city to reach into
Speaker 1: its pocket to the tune of eight million dollars. And
Speaker 1: on the other hand, I'm still I'm still thankful that
Speaker 1: we live in a city where, at least to my
Speaker 1: way of thinking, eight million dollars means something might seem
Speaker 1: like chump change. But the city's going to have to
Speaker 1: issue debt as part of this deal to pay off
Speaker 1: that settlement, So digging deeper into the hole. And then,
Speaker 1: I mean, and how do you know all these claim
Speaker 1: four hundred and something claims are legitimate? God, City Council
Speaker 1: voted unanimously Wednesday eight point one million dollar settlement. Hundreds
Speaker 1: of protesters during the twenty twenty George Floyd posts and
Speaker 1: it was something it didn't even happen in Cincinnati. Let's
Speaker 1: go to Claremont County. Alice's on the line, Hi, Alice,
Speaker 1: Hi it's great to hear your voices always.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you.
Speaker 2: Excuse me. A couple of things.
Speaker 3: Who was the woman who said these people were abused
Speaker 3: by their government being a professional protesters.
Speaker 1: That that was a member of council who said that. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know which one, but I
Speaker 1: heard that sound bite. It might have been yesterday and
Speaker 1: it made me gag a little bit. That was disgusting.
Speaker 3: And they're professional protesters there. It leaves you breathless. Also
Speaker 3: another thing, the Spencer book. I heard you interview him twice.
Speaker 1: Holy hell, Robert Spencer.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I'm reading it, but I have to stop
Speaker 3: and then go back to another book because it's scary.
Speaker 3: It's absolutely scary.
Speaker 1: And that guy's written like thirty two books. So he
Speaker 1: got the one on Mondanie and then he wrote another
Speaker 1: one and we talked about it about the way women
Speaker 1: in Islam are treated.
Speaker 2: It's it's scary.
Speaker 3: Have I know this is not a literary show, but
Speaker 3: I have to recommend the book. It's called How to
Speaker 3: Test Negative for Stupid but not in Washington. It's by
Speaker 3: Senator John Kennedy.
Speaker 1: Ah, he's one of my favorites.
Speaker 3: He is one of my favorites. He does explain the
Speaker 3: machinations in Washington, but with his own brand of humor.
Speaker 3: He describes one unnamed senator as being someone who will
Speaker 3: pat you on the back, but he will also unplug
Speaker 3: your life support system to charge your cell phone.
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny. Yeah, that's great. That's a great right there.
Speaker 3: Yes it is. And the book is full of them.
Speaker 3: And what a good man he is. It's worth reading.
Speaker 3: It's there's a lot to it, but it's light reading.
Speaker 3: You can you can read it, you know, just before
Speaker 3: going to bed.
Speaker 1: That's fantastic. I've actually got a SoundBite from Senator Kennedy tonight,
Speaker 1: and he was on the floor of the Senate uh
Speaker 1: describing the situation in Minneapolis, and a couple of couple
Speaker 1: of memorable lines in there.
Speaker 3: What has taken so long to goo after this this
Speaker 3: ill han omar? She has she I mean, she has
Speaker 3: not made a secret about what she's all about and
Speaker 3: why why has it taken this long?
Speaker 1: No, she she doesn't. She doesn't like America very much,
Speaker 1: and she she ought to be falling to her knees.
Speaker 1: And and the thing is the this whole thing with
Speaker 1: what's going on with the Somalian community in Minneapolis is
Speaker 1: drawing a lot of attention to her. And and right
Speaker 1: now there's a lot of different news organizations that are
Speaker 1: focusing on her net worth. That when she came to Congress,
Speaker 1: I believe her total net worth was in the neighborhood
Speaker 1: of sixty thousand dollars and now she is has a network,
Speaker 1: a networth that is in excess of thirty million dollars
Speaker 1: And a lot of people are asking a question, how
Speaker 1: did that happen in that span of time?
Speaker 3: And then a lot of the money was was went
Speaker 3: to Bukaharam and and.
Speaker 1: That ris organization in some model.
Speaker 3: Yes, and they're part of al Qaeda. And remember the
Speaker 3: thing with the girls that the Obamas called our girls
Speaker 3: that you remember that, Yes, that funded Bokaham when they
Speaker 3: were when they were abusing those women. You know what
Speaker 3: is taking so long? This woman's life is worthy of
Speaker 3: publishing in the inquir in the in the National Inquiry,
Speaker 3: that that tabloid her personal life is unbelievable, and she's
Speaker 3: a member of Congress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Alice, I appreciate the call as always,
Speaker 1: but we got to run. We got to get to
Speaker 1: a break.
Speaker 3: Of course, have a good night.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Alice, Thank you for listening, Alice. I appreciate
Speaker 1: Alice from Amelia, such a loyal listener and a wonderful person.
Speaker 1: Always great to hear her voice. We gotta go, We
Speaker 1: gotta get to a break. A little news coming up
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the hour, but more time for
Speaker 1: your phone calls on the other side. Five one, three,
Speaker 1: seven four nine, seven thousand, one, eight hundred the Big One.
Speaker 1: It is the Wednesday night edition of the Midweek Crisis
Speaker 1: on seven hundred WLW seven hundred WLW nine thirty eight
Speaker 1: day Girls til midnight tonight, Wednesday Night edition of the
Speaker 1: Midweek Crisis. Just wrapping up my thoughts on the eight
Speaker 1: point one million dollar settlement going to go out to
Speaker 1: the protesters who were in downtown Cincinnati after the George
Speaker 1: Floyd Black Lives Matter all that crap, four hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy nine protesters. They'll get between According to five nineteen
Speaker 1: twelve and thirteen thousand. To qualify for the payout, the
Speaker 1: protesters could not have additional charges beyond violating the curfew.
Speaker 1: How do we know that? How do we know that
Speaker 1: those are the people that are going to get the money?
Speaker 1: How do we know that someone who broke a window,
Speaker 1: someone who damaged property, there were even shots that were
Speaker 1: fired at police and first responders. How do we know
Speaker 1: the people who engaged in that activity are not getting
Speaker 1: part of the payout. I will reiterate and say again,
Speaker 1: I believe the Cincinnati police did an outstanding job with
Speaker 1: the factors that they were presented with. Council Member Scotti
Speaker 1: Johnson said during the vote they had to establish law
Speaker 1: and order. That's what they did, along with keeping citizens, businesses,
Speaker 1: and even the protesters safe. So they're Scottie Johnson standing
Speaker 1: strong with police. Then he says them in the back
Speaker 1: and votes in favor of this. So the part of
Speaker 1: the settlement means that the city is going to have
Speaker 1: to come up with policy and operational changes and we're
Speaker 1: going to have new rules for Cincinnati police when it
Speaker 1: comes to focusing on large scale civil unrest events. So
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see what that looks like. So
Speaker 1: we can avoid another situation like that. And so the
Speaker 1: message has gone out that you can come to Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: you can protest. And now I'm looking at the story
Speaker 1: from from Channel five says that the majority of people
Speaker 1: on the lawsuit are not Cincinnati residents, but they went
Speaker 1: ahead and signed off on it. Hey, Cincinnati police did
Speaker 1: a great job. We can be very proud of them.
Speaker 1: Then stand up for them, say no to this to
Speaker 1: It's too late for that now, but I held out
Speaker 1: hope that at least one would have the spine to
Speaker 1: stand up to this. That did not happen. Hi lawmakers
Speaker 1: will sent a bill changing marijuana policy to the desk
Speaker 1: of Mike DeWine, creating a slew of new criminal offenses,
Speaker 1: such as buying weed in Michigan to smoke in a
Speaker 1: public area. Buying was So if you buy weed in
Speaker 1: Michigan now, and I'll be honest with you, I've not
Speaker 1: followed this story that closely about the cannabis and the
Speaker 1: marijuana and all that. I've reached out to state Representative
Speaker 1: Adam Bird and he will join us tomorrow night. So
Speaker 1: if you're interested in the whatever the rules are now
Speaker 1: as it relates to marijuana, you can check out Adam
Speaker 1: Bird tomorrow night. We'll talk about that. This is do
Speaker 1: you buy a lottery tickets when the when the jackpot
Speaker 1: gets big, I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 1: My wife says, Hey, you got to you know She'll
Speaker 1: send me a message jackpots up to you know, seventy
Speaker 1: million or ninety million or one hundred million, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: and I'll go and get them. And then she'll say,
Speaker 1: did you check it? And I said, I don't need
Speaker 1: to check it. Why not? Because if somebody wins, it's
Speaker 1: it's a news story. And so I was getting ready
Speaker 1: for the show tonight and I came across this headline
Speaker 1: winning a lottery ticket worth eleven point four million dollars
Speaker 1: sold at Ohio convenience store. So, see that's the headline.
Speaker 1: I'm waiting. That headline right there alerts me to the
Speaker 1: fact because you know, you win him. I put them
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the console of the car
Speaker 1: or I got. There's a drawer at home. We throw
Speaker 1: them in a drawer. When I see that headline, then
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, well, I mean, do I have a winner
Speaker 1: in there? And I read the story and it reads,
Speaker 1: according to Channel five, lottery ticket worth over eleven million
Speaker 1: dollars sold at a convenience store in Ohio. According to
Speaker 1: the Ohio Lottery, ticket was sold for Saturday's lottery drawing. Well,
Speaker 1: nobody won the big powerball jackpot yet, an Ohio player
Speaker 1: lucked out. The Ohio Lottery said Smitty's Cruise Through in
Speaker 1: Tip City sold a ticket worth eleven point four million
Speaker 1: and Saturday's drawing. I have not been to Tip City
Speaker 1: anytime recently, so I don't need to don't need to
Speaker 1: check my tickets. But if you're listening and you've been
Speaker 1: to Tip City lately and you got a ticket at
Speaker 1: Smitty's Cruise Through, find it, check it out. Could be
Speaker 1: a big winner. The ticket needs to be claimed, said
Speaker 1: the Ohio Lottery. The Mill Creek Food martin Youngstown also
Speaker 1: sold a ticket where one hundred grand. So there you go,
Speaker 1: the Mill Creek Food martin Youngstown. I have not been
Speaker 1: to either establishment, so I.
Speaker 2: Am out of luck.
Speaker 1: But I'll eventually check him in. You know, I get
Speaker 1: to that, I get to the point where I get
Speaker 1: a stack of I don't know, fifteen to twenty of
Speaker 1: them and take him in here and you put them
Speaker 1: in the machine. Not a winner. Not a winner. Every
Speaker 1: once in a while you get one that wins and
Speaker 1: two or three dollars or something like that. Woo oh man,
Speaker 1: here's a story. I was saying. I mean, I'm going
Speaker 1: to talk to my buddy Curtis Alcobaic. This New York
Speaker 1: Times has invented a new genre of report covering big
Speaker 1: stories showing Democrats in a bad light years after the
Speaker 1: event that matters. At the tail end of twenty twenty
Speaker 1: five of the Times has freshly broken news that the
Speaker 1: Biden administration flooded the country with illegal immigrants, partly for
Speaker 1: the ideological, ideological and partisan reasons and partly out of
Speaker 1: shearing competence. Who knew? Four thousand words story fourteen colleagues
Speaker 1: contributing additional reporting and research, Very well sourced. It dissects
Speaker 1: Biden's immigration misdeeds and missteps over the years of his
Speaker 1: four years in office. But and he writes, great, but
Speaker 1: why not do that? Why the guy is actually in power?
Speaker 1: Immigration isn't suddenly an issue today. It's the biggest domestic
Speaker 1: story since COVID end, even before COVID, which I call
Speaker 1: the wuhun before in twenty sixteen, Donald Trump and an
Speaker 1: immigration at the forefront of presidential politics and private Democrats
Speaker 1: close to Biden were discussing the crisis all along. They
Speaker 1: knew his agenda, and they knew it would only make
Speaker 1: it worse. Biden's policy advisors sounded the alarm before he
Speaker 1: even won the election. The Time acknowledges this. In August
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, several AIDS wrote a memo cautioning mister
Speaker 1: Biden's inner circle that his promise of lighter immigration enforcement,
Speaker 1: coupled with a pent up demand from the Trump years
Speaker 1: and economic hardship from the WUHAN could spike or could
Speaker 1: provoke a spike in border crossings. And that is exactly
Speaker 1: what happened. And so I guess I got to give
Speaker 1: credit to these people who were trying to advise the
Speaker 1: Biden campaign, tell them what was up. They actually they
Speaker 1: were right. Biden didn't listen. Democrats are fully aware of
Speaker 1: what they were getting the getting the country into, and
Speaker 1: they did it anyway. Voters didn't know, however, because the
Speaker 1: media didn't do the reporting necessary to inform them until
Speaker 1: just now. Well, I wouldn't say all the media, but
Speaker 1: you know what, but you know what he's talking about.
Speaker 1: The New York Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, the mainstream media
Speaker 1: talk about it all the time. We were talking about
Speaker 1: it back then. And so when the border started going
Speaker 1: crazy right after the Biden election, the people who listened
Speaker 1: to this show, people who listened to this station. People
Speaker 1: who listened to talk radio in general were not surprised.
Speaker 1: We knew it was coming. And this past Sunday, the
Speaker 1: New York Times had it on the front page of
Speaker 1: the paper. Very very impressive. Uh, let me see that. Uh.
Speaker 1: Even when the president was visibly failing, liberals in the
Speaker 1: media dismissed what was right before their eyes. A friend
Speaker 1: who was a lonely conservative columnist at an other nation's
Speaker 1: major metropolitan newspaper told me one subject he was explicitly
Speaker 1: forbidden to write about was Biden's age and infirmity. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, if if if you are a columnist
Speaker 1: at a newspaper and you are forbidden to write about
Speaker 1: what is blatantly obvious and and at some point you
Speaker 1: got to you gotta step away from that. And it's
Speaker 1: just to my way of thinking anyway. The code of
Speaker 1: silence backfired spectacular saddling the Democrats with not one but
Speaker 1: two unelectable candidates at the top of their presidential ticket
Speaker 1: last year, leaving the left in the state of shock
Speaker 1: that Americans really did figure out what was happening with
Speaker 1: immigration and really were mad about it. Better late than never, though,
Speaker 1: how Biden ignored warnings at Lost and Lost America's faith
Speaker 1: and immigration does not teach an important lesson beyond the
Speaker 1: one about what happens when radical policies going criticized by
Speaker 1: the media and internal criticism by the samee Democrats get ignored.
Speaker 1: It also showcases the success of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's
Speaker 1: strategy by busting the border crisis straight into the blue cities.
Speaker 1: And it makes the point that I have made so
Speaker 1: many times when it comes to this subject, about how
Speaker 1: exceedingly poor the media in this country serves the American public,
Speaker 1: the people who pay attention, the people who want to
Speaker 1: know what's going on. I mean, thank god that we
Speaker 1: had the you know that we can we can find
Speaker 1: out on our own that there are alternative news sources
Speaker 1: out there that are not afraid of the print what's
Speaker 1: going on, not afraid though, to publish the truth, even
Speaker 1: when you may not like it, even when it hurts
Speaker 1: a little bit. I mean, there's there's some stuff that
Speaker 1: Trump is doing now that I'm not sure that I'm
Speaker 1: totally in agreement with. I haven't read enough about this
Speaker 1: twelve billion dollar bailout for the farmers. If you're a farmer,
Speaker 1: do you need a twelve billion dollar bailout from the
Speaker 1: federal government. I saw where the Trump administration wants to
Speaker 1: sell more AI chips to the Chinese. Is that is
Speaker 1: that something we ought to be doing. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It seems to me China is perfectly capable of making
Speaker 1: their own chips. I mean, on one hand, selling stuff
Speaker 1: is good. Maybe those chips can be can be programmed
Speaker 1: as by on the Chinese. I don't know, but at
Speaker 1: least I know about it. At least I don't have
Speaker 1: to rely on one or two outlets. And I had
Speaker 1: a call over I was I was on over the weekend,
Speaker 1: and I had a call over the weekend, and this
Speaker 1: gal was trying to take me to task on things
Speaker 1: I was saying about illegal immigrants, illegal aliens in this country,
Speaker 1: and she was talking about she was talking about ice
Speaker 1: and the roundups and how American citizens or being taken
Speaker 1: away in the dead of the night and all this
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, and she was just just mistaken about that.
Speaker 1: And I asked her where she got her news, and
Speaker 1: she didn't want to answer the question. God bless her.
Speaker 1: She sounded like she was a little bit older, nice lady,
Speaker 1: but just didn't have the facts and was trying to
Speaker 1: take me in a task on some of the things,
Speaker 1: and and and you could tell that she had And
Speaker 1: I don't know why she was listening to me to
Speaker 1: begin with, but you could tell that she had. She
Speaker 1: had not heard the things that I was saying at
Speaker 1: if she had not encountered that before. And she was
Speaker 1: pretty convinced that what I was saying was not true.
Speaker 1: Rick and Western Hills, what's going on?
Speaker 4: I'm glad you said something about these AI computer chips,
Speaker 4: because I think this is a really big story and
Speaker 4: everyone's missing it. The reason is is because I've seen
Speaker 4: about two years ago they were showing pictures of this
Speaker 4: robot army China was building in these giant robot dogs
Speaker 4: that shot like big guns and fire out of them,
Speaker 4: and these things were like that. They they only had prototypes,
Speaker 4: and I was thinking, well, if China's putting all this
Speaker 4: money in robotics to building robot a robot army, we
Speaker 4: sell them all the AI supercomputer chips, they'll put them
Speaker 4: writing them robots and might be end enough have to
Speaker 4: fight them someday. And that's kind of stupid.
Speaker 1: I hope that I hope that doesn't happen. But yeah,
Speaker 1: no does when I when I see headlines like that
Speaker 1: that we are selling uh China ai chips, it makes it.
Speaker 1: It makes anything. First of all, their spying apparatus must
Speaker 1: not be as good as it used to be because
Speaker 1: they used to spy on us and and steal all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. I guess maybe they're not able
Speaker 1: to steal it now they're just gonna go ahead and
Speaker 1: buy it now.
Speaker 4: It was this Taiwan East company. They have to get
Speaker 4: permission in order to sell them to China, And I
Speaker 4: don't understand why they would do that at all, because
Speaker 4: China might use that on them too, you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that that's uh, I'm gonna have to look at that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, a Chinese army of robot dogs that spit
Speaker 1: fire and shoot guns. That that's a that sounds like
Speaker 1: a nightmare scenario right there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, now do you defended? They can think on their own,
Speaker 4: just like like a living soldier attacking you know, white Americans.
Speaker 2: Whatever.
Speaker 1: That's horrible, Rick, Thanks for the call. I appreciate it
Speaker 1: all right there you go, Rick, Rick, it doesn't like
Speaker 1: the idea of Chinese built dogs shooting guns and and
Speaker 1: uh and breathing fire. We you gotta get to a
Speaker 1: break news coming up top of the hour, and then
Speaker 1: my buddy Steve Baff will be here and we'll kick
Speaker 1: around some some of the day's news events with him
Speaker 1: as we roll on till midnight tonight, Wednesday night edition
Speaker 1: of the Midweek Crisis on seven hundred WLW. I'm back
Speaker 1: on the big one, seven hundred W l W ten
Speaker 1: o eight, Wednesday edition of the Midweek Crisis. I mean,
Speaker 1: as we rolled till midnight tonight and joining me from Bloomington, Indiana,
Speaker 1: where he's basking in the glory of that great hoo's
Speaker 1: your victory or the Ohio State Buckeyes, my buddy Jim
Speaker 1: Faff of the Conservative Caucus And Jim, how is everything
Speaker 1: on Bloomington these days? The number one team in the country?
Speaker 1: How about that.
Speaker 2: Pretty amazing, amazing one. All my all my fans who
Speaker 2: know that I loved W A L W and following
Speaker 2: it all my life, that that love the buck eyes,
Speaker 2: I I don't dislike them, but I can't couldn't be
Speaker 2: more pleased.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm glad, I'm glad for you, and that that
Speaker 1: coach is the heartbreak was we learned or later this week,
Speaker 1: after the after the the Hoosier's victory, that that coach
Speaker 1: had actually interviewed here at the University of Cincinnati.
Speaker 2: And I hadn't heard that. Oh my goodness. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: Signetti is excellent, Like his resume actually is very good.
Speaker 2: And what he's done in some programs, particularly James Madison.
Speaker 2: I mean, he kept James Madison in the top twenty
Speaker 2: five for much of his time there. What a what
Speaker 2: a fantastic coach.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but we think, you know, here in Cincinnati, we
Speaker 1: spend a lot of a lot of time thinking about
Speaker 1: what might have been. And you know, maybe if he
Speaker 1: was coaching the Bearcats now, who knows. But in any case,
Speaker 1: let me ask you this here. Here's the main question
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you tonight. Is it is it
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion at this point that the Republicans are
Speaker 1: going to lose the House in the twenty twenty six midterms.
Speaker 2: No, But the dynamic, the the historical dynamic, says that
Speaker 2: Democrats are very likely to take the House.
Speaker 1: Back the party the party out of power, picks up seats.
Speaker 1: But and the reason I asked is because I'm flipping
Speaker 1: around watching different shows and I'm just seeing a lot
Speaker 1: more analysis right now that is leaning towards that narrative.
Speaker 1: Am I Are you seeing the same thing that I'm seeing?
Speaker 1: And when it comes to the analysis on it.
Speaker 2: Well, I am. But I would maintain that one of
Speaker 2: the biggest reasons that analysis is so prevalent is because
Speaker 2: of the fact that, frankly, Republicans in general aren't doing
Speaker 2: a very good job of messaging what's going on. I
Speaker 2: would also say, I don't know if you happen to
Speaker 2: see it, and I agreed with him. I've been on
Speaker 2: his podcast before, but Tim cool of the Tip of
Speaker 2: Tim Cast was rightly out there talking about how, you know,
Speaker 2: since Charlie Kirks that you would think that that would
Speaker 2: be a polarizing and you know a bit of momentum
Speaker 2: for the conservative causes and Republicans in general, and frankly,
Speaker 2: we've been breaking up ever since because you've got this
Speaker 2: stupid team of Owens narrative that that keeping USA is
Speaker 2: behind his death, and then you've got the Nick Flint
Speaker 2: has interview with Pecker Carlson and all the backlash related
Speaker 2: to that and and the expanding, uh, you know, Israel debate.
Speaker 2: That's happening, and there are a lot of things that
Speaker 2: are kind of breaking apart the grassroots. But then on
Speaker 2: top of that, you've got this natural tendency amongst leadership
Speaker 2: in the Republican Party nationally to really try to grab
Speaker 2: the feet out of the jaws of victory. A lot
Speaker 2: it does, and they suck at you like they don't.
Speaker 2: There is there are a decent amount of members of
Speaker 2: Congress on the Republican side who are supportive of Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: but you still have this pretty powerful, sometimes contingent that
Speaker 2: doesn't want anything that Donald Trump's trying to do. I
Speaker 2: mean evidence by just this evening a procedural vote in
Speaker 2: the House to try to overturn Donald Trump's executive Order,
Speaker 2: which gets rid of a massive amount of collective bargaining
Speaker 2: amongst federal employees. Now there should be no collective bargaining
Speaker 2: amongst federal employees at all. And yet you've got thirteen
Speaker 2: members that sided with Democrats to try to overturn his
Speaker 2: executive order. That there is a contingent in the Republican
Speaker 2: Party that just hates Donald Trump. They're not highly vocal
Speaker 2: about it right now, but they undermine him in every turn.
Speaker 2: So all those things seem to work against it. Nonetheless,
Speaker 2: you've got the redistricting efforts that have added more opportunities
Speaker 2: for Republicans to gain seats. So we'll see how it
Speaker 2: plays out. And if Donald Trump can get his economic
Speaker 2: message out, which he's already started to do in Pennsylvania
Speaker 2: last night, then you know, that may help them, you know,
Speaker 2: push through the headwinds and get to something positive in
Speaker 2: November of next year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it always seems that you get we get these
Speaker 1: cycles where you get Conservatives just win on issue after
Speaker 1: issue after issue, and then at some point the Democrats
Speaker 1: just sort of put things on cruise control, and then
Speaker 1: it seems like because there's maybe a void in the
Speaker 1: news cycle, it seems like Republicans just sort of have
Speaker 1: to self destruct. And we're saying and we're just we're
Speaker 1: seeing that, like you said, we're you know, people are
Speaker 1: starting to chip off and then get away from Trump
Speaker 1: and get away from his message, and we're seeing the criticize,
Speaker 1: the criticisms come out, and Marjorie Taylor Green people are
Speaker 1: starting to look at her like, you know, she's being
Speaker 1: seduced by the leftist media now and kind of enjoying
Speaker 1: that spotlight. And I don't know. I don't know if
Speaker 1: that if people look at that and they think that's
Speaker 1: attractive and they want a little piece of that action,
Speaker 1: I just I don't understand the mindset. Sometimes.
Speaker 2: Well, essentially, what does happen is people end up going
Speaker 2: to Washington, d C. And they if they're not determined
Speaker 2: to keep from being bought in and grabbed up, you know,
Speaker 2: sucked into the system, then they eventually will be listen. Washington,
Speaker 2: DC's crazy town. When I went to Capitol Hill to
Speaker 2: be chief of staff for my friend and continuing friend,
Speaker 2: Tim hills Camp, former Member of Congress from Kansas, and
Speaker 2: he asked me to come and be his chief of staff.
Speaker 2: And one of the things that he and I did,
Speaker 2: he slept in his office. He didn't go rent some
Speaker 2: place in town. I had to end up renting some
Speaker 2: place that I lived. But neither of us, both of
Speaker 2: us decided there's no way that we're going to be
Speaker 2: involved in the uh, you know, the the cocktail party crowd.
Speaker 2: I mean not that we never went to things. He
Speaker 2: would have fundraisers sometimes there and or or there would
Speaker 2: be some member that we were good friends with, and
Speaker 2: we we'd attend that, but really we spent our evenings
Speaker 2: just kind of strategizing, what are we going to do,
Speaker 2: how are we going to advance the agenda. I was
Speaker 2: putting together meetings of chiefs of staff. I've had forty
Speaker 2: to sixty of them meeting where I'm trying to urge
Speaker 2: them to carry on the Tea Party movement thing. And
Speaker 2: I never bought into it. In fact, right now I'm
Speaker 2: sitting in Bloomington, Indiana in my house. I never have
Speaker 2: purchased a home in the DC area, even though I'm
Speaker 2: running an organization there now and I serve two members
Speaker 2: of Congress. There was no way I was going to
Speaker 2: be part of that. Most people, though, even the good ones,
Speaker 2: end up being part of the system there. And if
Speaker 2: you're not dog determined to the point of being disliked
Speaker 2: a lot to keep yourself separated from that and not
Speaker 2: become part of it, you will become part of it.
Speaker 2: I think that's what happened to Marjorie Taylor Green. She
Speaker 2: went and started helping out Kevin McCarthy for a while,
Speaker 2: and then obviously this recent debacle. I mean, it just
Speaker 2: happens to some people sometimes. Thomas Masthew, who I worked for,
Speaker 2: always talks about that pin that he wears. He calls
Speaker 2: it my precious, referring to you know, the Gullum and
Speaker 2: the ring, ye in the Lord of the Ring, right,
Speaker 2: And then that really does happen to people. You know,
Speaker 2: you get pushed around, you don't have to go through
Speaker 2: the the the metal detectors, and you're treated so well
Speaker 2: at the Capital as a member of Congress, and suddenly
Speaker 2: you think you are somebody, and frankly, most of them
Speaker 2: aren't anybody.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 1: I look as an example of what I'm talking about,
Speaker 1: I look at the story when you go back a
Speaker 1: few weeks when you had Alyssa Slotkin and Mark Kelly
Speaker 1: and some of these other Democrats put this video out
Speaker 1: about you know, if you're in if you're in the military,
Speaker 1: you don't have to obey illegal orders, suggesting that somehow
Speaker 1: the Trump administration is giving illegal orders to our men
Speaker 1: and women in uniform. And then miraculously, this whole narrative
Speaker 1: starts up with the drug boats being blown out of
Speaker 1: the water from from Vannezuela and something illegal is going
Speaker 1: on there. And we had all this pressure build up
Speaker 1: on Pete Hegseth and people want to impeach him now
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer was demanding to see the video. And
Speaker 1: even though members of Congress had already seen the video,
Speaker 1: and Chuck Schumer was going to go out and demand
Speaker 1: things from Pete Hegseeth, and Pete Hegseth stood his ground.
Speaker 1: He said, look, I'm in the right here. We know
Speaker 1: we're in the right. We know what's going on, and
Speaker 1: they and Pete Hegseth has not caved. And Chuck Schumer
Speaker 1: came out of that meeting today with his tail between
Speaker 1: his legs and said, well, it didn't work out that well,
Speaker 1: and so it And I look at that as an example,
Speaker 1: just a microcosm of if you know your position is right,
Speaker 1: you stand behind your position and you stick to your
Speaker 1: guns and assure them it's not going to be easy sledding.
Speaker 1: But in the end you're going to come out. And
Speaker 1: I think Pete Hegseth is going to come out looking
Speaker 1: good on this because we've all heard the narrative that
Speaker 1: hegg Sac is in trouble. He's going to be the
Speaker 1: first one to be fired. Trump is going to let
Speaker 1: him go. But if he would have caved, I think
Speaker 1: to the you know, this withering fire he's been subject
Speaker 1: to then I think Trump would have let him go.
Speaker 1: But he's not. He's standing his ground and he and
Speaker 1: to my way of thinking, uh, you know, Trump said
Speaker 1: some great things about Pete HeiG Seth at that rally
Speaker 1: last night, so I think he's in pretty good standing
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Well, and the great news about that is that Donald
Speaker 2: Trump does actually have good people this time around, who
Speaker 2: are loyal to him, who are mostly pretty capable.
Speaker 5: And I've got some criticisms like I'm still trying.
Speaker 2: To wade through my thinking on paying BONDI and cash hotel,
Speaker 2: for example, but for the most part they're doing at
Speaker 2: least a serviceable job and definitely loyal. You know, there
Speaker 2: are always some problems, but you've just got a situation
Speaker 2: where Donald Trump put the right kind of cabinet together
Speaker 2: that actually is dedicated to trying to fulfill his vision.
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump has to work that. But you know,
Speaker 2: if we are not willing as citizens to push back
Speaker 2: against the DC narratives as best we can, and the
Speaker 2: challenge of that is people are trying to live their lives.
Speaker 2: I always tell people, you know, I do this so
Speaker 2: you don't have to, because most people just want to
Speaker 2: try to make it through their lives. And that's why
Speaker 2: if Donald Trump can't get the economy back around, or
Speaker 2: at least get the message out well about the good
Speaker 2: things that are happening in the economy, then people will
Speaker 2: tend to back away from that. They need to have
Speaker 2: some direct sense. Then all that's working. But in light
Speaker 2: of these attacks like you mentioned the Mark Kelly, Alyssa
Speaker 2: slockin and all these idiots who put that video together
Speaker 2: literally to try to undermine Donald Trump's presidency. In my
Speaker 2: estimation and intreason this way, we have to remember that
Speaker 2: Democrats still have the financing and the methodology to go
Speaker 2: in and undermine everything that's happening so that they can
Speaker 2: maintain power. They still have a beachhead in the media.
Speaker 2: They've got millions, literally hundreds of millions of dollars that
Speaker 2: come through the George Soros types to fund these efforts.
Speaker 2: And that was a coordinated effort, this video that Mark
Speaker 2: Kelly put together to try to build out a narrative,
Speaker 2: and it hasn't won, but they've got the money to
Speaker 2: do that. And then we still have this NGO problem
Speaker 2: where money is flowing out from taxpayers literally into Democrat
Speaker 2: campaign coffers indirectly and this whole thing has got to
Speaker 2: be broken down because this is the corrosive thing that
Speaker 2: really Barack Obama put together on steroids that we've got
Speaker 2: to get rid of so we can have a natural,
Speaker 2: normal approach to having fair elections and fair political activity.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of work to do, and Donald Trump
Speaker 2: has to stay focused. And I'm going that he's being
Speaker 2: purposeful like he was last night, and he says he's
Speaker 2: going to try to put himself on the ballot so
Speaker 2: to speak, this next time around. That's good, he needs
Speaker 2: to do that. But if that's not effective, Democrats come
Speaker 2: into power in January twenty twenty seven, and we've got
Speaker 2: chaos for two years, and who knows what's going to
Speaker 2: happen after that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, Susie Wilde said, Trump is going to campaign
Speaker 1: like it's twenty it's twenty twenty four, so we will
Speaker 1: see what happens. How big in your estimation is the
Speaker 1: fraud story out of Minneapolis and the Somalian community there?
Speaker 1: How big is that is? That story?
Speaker 2: It's huge in this sense, like we all know that
Speaker 2: there's corruption like this going on. We know that Elon
Speaker 2: Musk's efforts with Doge and those that continue thereafter have
Speaker 2: shown a lot of problems. So we know that there's
Speaker 2: a tip of the iceberg there. The Minnesota thing is
Speaker 2: the tip of the tip of the iceberg. And I
Speaker 2: say that because it's a huge, huge story. We're talking
Speaker 2: potentially eight billion dollars of fraud money. I just saw
Speaker 2: a report today there was some lady who's a whistleblower,
Speaker 2: a former TFA agent, who said she observed bags filled
Speaker 2: with cash of small people who were flying out of
Speaker 2: the Minneapolis airport heading over to Somalia. And this is huge,
Speaker 2: it's a huge story. But that should tell you that
Speaker 2: we're talking literally hundreds of billions, maybe even up to
Speaker 2: a trillion dollars of fraud, wasting, abuse from various areas.
Speaker 2: Every dollar that goes out to any NGO anywhere, we
Speaker 2: can be assured of ninety five percent sure that that
Speaker 2: money's going to something nefarious. Just consider what Stacy Abrams
Speaker 2: was going to get. You go get two billion dollars
Speaker 2: out of the Environmental Protection Agency that Lee Zelden stopped,
Speaker 2: and she has no reason to receive that kind of money.
Speaker 2: She was going to do. Her set up was going
Speaker 2: to be very similar to what's happening in the Minnesota.
Speaker 2: The whole design was helping people get energy efficient appliances
Speaker 2: and stuff. They're going to give her two billion dollars
Speaker 2: to promote that all times with anybody about a flying
Speaker 2: So she's gonna walk away with the money.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, are you talking about fraud? It is Yeah, that
Speaker 1: the Stacy Abrahams thing is is just amazing and now
Speaker 1: and gosh you and we've only got about ten seconds
Speaker 1: left here, but people are starting to look at ilhan
Speaker 1: Omar and questioning how does she go from a net
Speaker 1: worth of about sixty grand when she entered Congress and
Speaker 1: now a few years later her net worth is an
Speaker 1: excess of thirty million dollars. How does that happens?
Speaker 2: It's crazy and this is a big problem in Congress.
Speaker 2: The only way you get rid of this is to
Speaker 2: reduce government. That's one of the big things that we're
Speaker 2: fighting for. But to make it short, since we have
Speaker 2: a short amount of time, Tom Holman says that he's
Speaker 2: there is investigator, there are investigations happening from his agency
Speaker 2: in dah to look at her whether she's a valid
Speaker 2: citizen or not. That does need to happen. And if
Speaker 2: there's something actionable there that can be adjudicated. She needs
Speaker 2: to be stripped of her citizenship and sent out of
Speaker 2: this country. Like if we don't get serious about this
Speaker 2: kind of thing and start greeting things in the right way,
Speaker 2: that we're going to lose this country entirely. That was
Speaker 2: the whole design of Democrats anyway. So everyone said replacement
Speaker 2: theory was, you know, a conspiracy theory. No, it was
Speaker 2: very real. Democrats are still going to attempt to do that,
Speaker 2: and we got a lot to fight for here so
Speaker 2: that they can't get back into the kind of power
Speaker 2: to do that again.
Speaker 1: All right, Jim, we got to run as always, man,
Speaker 1: Appreciate the time, Appreciate the insight. Conservative Caucuses is the website,
Speaker 1: and keep up the great work, my friend, and we'll
Speaker 1: be talking again before too long.
Speaker 2: Thanks, Dan talks soon.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go, my buddy, Jim Faff from
Speaker 1: the Conservative Caucus ten twenty five at seven hundred WLW,
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW ten forty two, Dan Carroll till midnight tonight.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite guests is a guy that always
Speaker 1: answers the call my buddy Charlie, not Charlie, but Curtis Halk.
Speaker 1: I was like, I was looking at some other guy's name.
Speaker 1: It was Charlie. I was thinking of Charlie Kirk because
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about Charlie Kirk in
Speaker 1: a minute. But Curtis Halk of NewsBusters, how are you tonight?
Speaker 5: Good to be with my friends? How are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm sure you are impressed by the bold
Speaker 1: and courageous reporting of the New York Times, who led
Speaker 1: their Sunday edition with a front page story about Joseph
Speaker 1: Robin at Biden and his immigration policy. I'm sure you
Speaker 1: were very impressed by that.
Speaker 2: It took you.
Speaker 5: I'm sure it took years.
Speaker 2: Fourteen reporters on that show Frank Jake Tapper's book Dan,
Speaker 2: he did missed the story. They just missed it.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, five years after the fact. Whatever,
Speaker 1: it's almost six years now.
Speaker 5: Wait, so, like you need to tell me, guys New
Speaker 5: York Times that like Biden's team tried to deny.
Speaker 2: Reality and then or.
Speaker 5: They insisted everything was going to be fine, and then
Speaker 5: when everything did go wrong, we're just going to deny
Speaker 5: reality and we're just thinking, like there are the old
Speaker 5: adage that like if I don't think about it and
Speaker 5: I don't talk about it. It's not really happening. I
Speaker 5: think that's really their approach there. And as we know,
Speaker 5: we all have things in our lives that we need
Speaker 5: to address ourselves, but we keep putting it off. And
Speaker 5: I think that's kind of how it went for Team
Speaker 5: Biden when it came to the border, except you know,
Speaker 5: their inability to address their sins led to millions of
Speaker 5: people coming across the border untold numbers because it'll keep
Speaker 5: going up of families that would be you know, become
Speaker 5: angel moms as a result, and uh, you know, welfare frauds,
Speaker 5: you know, all kinds of good stuff. And I think
Speaker 5: it's rank your responsibility. And that's why I I was
Speaker 5: almost after Drew yesterday and I said, they are on
Speaker 5: my naughty list. I mean, you are on my naughty list.
Speaker 5: It's not surprising. But he made a really good point
Speaker 5: at me, which is print can be sometimes even more
Speaker 5: sinister than television. And I said, you know, that's a
Speaker 5: really good point because you think the radio and television,
Speaker 5: because of time constraints, that's how you end up with
Speaker 5: you know, kind of rancorous bias. And that's certainly true.
Speaker 5: But with in with print, you would think, because there's
Speaker 5: more space available, you can engage in nuance. But a
Speaker 5: lot we see here that uh, that doesn't necessarily mean
Speaker 5: it's a better product, but I.
Speaker 1: Mean it's a it's a it's a it's amazing. The
Speaker 1: thing is, there are people who read that story this
Speaker 1: Sunday that read that and said, I had no idea.
Speaker 1: Their jaws were dropping. Say, were you know, getting ready
Speaker 1: to get that second bite of their datas there? Like, honey,
Speaker 1: do you see what happened with Joe Biden was doing?
Speaker 1: I toast That's right, my bad? All right, let me
Speaker 1: ask you, Let me ask you a question. I have
Speaker 1: to admit I do not pay attention to the daily
Speaker 1: rantings of Candae own. I have not been paying much
Speaker 1: attention to Tucker Carlson, but I am seeing what is
Speaker 1: going on with with these two individuals crop up more
Speaker 1: and more in mainstream debate. Am I missing? Am I
Speaker 1: missing something here? Do I need to start paying attention
Speaker 1: to what's going on with because I know she's got
Speaker 1: some kind of conspiracy candae Owans does about what really
Speaker 1: you know took place in the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I saw you know, I saw Eric or
Speaker 1: Kirk on Fox News over the weekend and on the
Speaker 1: Five on yesterday, and she was reacting to some of
Speaker 1: this stuff. Do I need to know about what's happening
Speaker 1: with this? Is this something I'm going to need to
Speaker 1: let my listeners know about?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I definitely think so. I mean, obviously
Speaker 5: there's a point about.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: Their response and a retort from folks that are close
Speaker 5: to the White House is oh, this is the fight
Speaker 5: against the left, and we cannot be engaged in these
Speaker 5: kind of petty wars. But I think I tweet this
Speaker 5: a few hours ago over the Great Joel Barry from
Speaker 5: the Babylon b which is this moment demands moral clarity.
Speaker 5: And if we are going to be the critique of
Speaker 5: the vicious, godless, heartless left that we say we are
Speaker 5: and that we are going to offer to our readers
Speaker 5: and our audiences, then it requires some sort of moral compass, okay,
Speaker 5: because we need to protect ourselves against being derided and
Speaker 5: torn apart by people who clearly are cancers to the
Speaker 5: conservative movement, specifically Candiceellans. I have been a critic of
Speaker 5: her since twenty eighteen, and I have taken way too
Speaker 5: much bleep toy bleap from people about her saying that,
Speaker 5: oh she's important and you shouldn't.
Speaker 2: Be saying this. Well, here I am, you.
Speaker 5: Know, many years later saying, you know, almost eight years
Speaker 5: later saying oh I am vindicated. Unfortunately, to say that
Speaker 5: the Egyptians or Jews or Charlie's staff had anything to
Speaker 5: do with this, it's rancorous irresponsibility. She makes a lot
Speaker 5: of money by just saying these things on social media
Speaker 5: and rumble, and that's what's frustrating. And for Tucker to
Speaker 5: kind of say, well, I don't really know what the
Speaker 5: truth is, and we shouldn't really like trust anybody, so
Speaker 5: we should look into everything. You get to a certain
Speaker 5: point where if you just say like, well, we don't
Speaker 5: believe anything, then you know, then the world is just open,
Speaker 5: and you know, we'll start talking about like black holes
Speaker 5: like Don Lemon with the missing Malaysian plane, and we
Speaker 5: make fun of it because that's what the left does.
Speaker 5: But we're reaching that point with the right where we
Speaker 5: don't trust that. We have this mantra of not trusting anything,
Speaker 5: so therefore now we're just gonna get into all sorts
Speaker 5: of deranged conspiracy theories about Egyptian jets and Jews and
Speaker 5: foreign cell phones.
Speaker 1: Yeah and so, and look, I don't know again, I
Speaker 1: really I don't know anything she has said about any
Speaker 1: of this stuff. I don't follow her. I don't pay
Speaker 1: attention to what she says. Has there been any of
Speaker 1: the stuff that she said in the past, Has any
Speaker 1: of that stuff turned out to be legitimate any of it?
Speaker 5: No, there's been no evidence to any of this year.
Speaker 5: And it's just it is so hurtful. And people have said,
Speaker 5: I think that, you know, Charlie and Candice were friends
Speaker 5: for a long time before Charlie met Erica, and people
Speaker 5: have said there might have just been personal and I'm
Speaker 5: osity there. I don't know, but it is. It's so
Speaker 5: deranged and hurtful. I'm not never going to call for
Speaker 5: these people to be kicked off their platforms, but you know,
Speaker 5: with this becomes responsibility, and when you start saying I'm
Speaker 5: the only voice, I'm the only true friend that Charlie
Speaker 5: has and not including his widow, you cross the line,
Speaker 5: especially because this isn't just about policy. This is involving
Speaker 5: someone's public assassination on live TV more or less.
Speaker 1: But in your estimation. Does this threaten to go beyond
Speaker 1: just where it is right now in this correct in
Speaker 1: this whole. I don't know if it's a subculture or
Speaker 1: how much of the of mainstream conservatism that this is
Speaker 1: going to affect with people and with these people have
Speaker 1: in this ongoing back and forth.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we I mean, you have to speak with moral clarity,
Speaker 5: You have to speak with clarity and force. I mean,
Speaker 5: and don't you know the left will bring up, well,
Speaker 5: what about I support Donald Trumpet the Rice Price married, Yeah,
Speaker 5: and they're like, this is now what we're talking about here, Okay,
Speaker 5: we are talking about someone who was murdered in cold blood,
Speaker 5: plenty of DNA evidence, the training, lover all that stuff
Speaker 5: going on, and we're just not there's an entire side
Speaker 5: of the rights that she was not talking about this,
Speaker 5: that he was some sort of fall guy. And I mean,
Speaker 5: I again, it's a distraction from honoring Charlie and continuing
Speaker 5: his work at turning Point, which is firing on all cylinders.
Speaker 5: And I say all this and as someone who had
Speaker 5: plenty of issues with Charlie Kirker of the years, but
Speaker 5: you know, if we are really going to take this
Speaker 5: to the left with Mom, Donnie. And you know, we
Speaker 5: had the Democrats winning in Florida again. We had a
Speaker 5: Saint Georgia state House seat flipped to the Democrats last night.
Speaker 5: There's some serious stuff going on. Economic anxiety has settled
Speaker 5: in with folks and it's gripping, you know, and has
Speaker 5: the chance to really pull the party down next year.
Speaker 5: And we have Somali stuff. I mean, there's so much
Speaker 5: stuff going on that we could be that that folks
Speaker 5: could be focused on.
Speaker 2: But notice that.
Speaker 5: Candice and uh Tucker are the ones who say we
Speaker 5: need to be focused on the left, and they themselves
Speaker 5: are not spending their airtime by talking about the left
Speaker 5: really at all at all, of course, because we make
Speaker 5: fun of them on a daily basis.
Speaker 1: But well, we'll see what happens down the road. Uh,
Speaker 1: Barry Wise has hired this guy, uh, Tony Dope. How
Speaker 1: do you say his name? The coopleple, the cople Uh.
Speaker 1: So can we expect anything different out of CBS News
Speaker 1: now that this guy is going to be well.
Speaker 5: See, we'll see again. You know the fact that Barry
Speaker 5: is willing to try something different, you know. And Tony
Speaker 5: he's married to Katie Turr, So that's unfortunate. He seems
Speaker 5: like a very nice person, but you know, very extremely
Speaker 5: five years and five years ago, he did this thing
Speaker 5: about socialism where he you know, he did a pie
Speaker 5: and went to a mall before COVID and tried to
Speaker 5: convince people that like, well we need to like have
Speaker 5: multiple pies, or we need to take your part of
Speaker 5: the pie and give it to these people. You know,
Speaker 5: that whole like kind of elementary level nonsense. I would
Speaker 5: refer to him as socialist. Co host Tony D. Koppel,
Speaker 5: though Elizabeth Warren like praised him days later, being like
Speaker 5: so amazing, that's so great. More people need to basically
Speaker 5: think like this. But you know, two things happened. Number one,
Speaker 5: Hamas October seventh, his ex wife and two teenage children
Speaker 5: were living in Israel, so he wasn't sure for a
Speaker 5: while they were okay. And then number two, I think
Speaker 5: what happened was, you know, with Tommy Hoasey Coats, where
Speaker 5: he was nearly fired for simply telling Tommy he's coach. Yeah,
Speaker 5: it seems like you've written a book here that really
Speaker 5: seems to hate Jews, seems to call him the question
Speaker 5: whether Israel should exist. I have a right to exist,
Speaker 5: and so since then, he's what my colleague Dick Fondacaro
Speaker 5: has become Tony durredtill and you know, whether it's talking
Speaker 5: about Kimmel and Saalin, we're talking about campus protests by
Speaker 5: these you know, antisemitic moms. He has not been an
Speaker 5: out and out like conservatives. But the point is to
Speaker 5: give voice too accurate and accurately so conservative arguments that, hey,
Speaker 5: half the country actually thinks the opposite of what we're
Speaker 5: all sitting here talking about, you know, ye, all right,
Speaker 5: which I think is accurate. We don't we don't want,
Speaker 5: we don't necessarily demand that all these journalists become Trump
Speaker 5: hat you know, maggya hat wearing partisans. That's not how
Speaker 5: journalism is supposed to work. But they're so much to
Speaker 5: present all side.
Speaker 1: So I hope let's see some of that. Yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: just try a little bit of that to get a
Speaker 1: lot of mileage out of and it might be amazing
Speaker 1: and we'll see what happens. I have, but curtis that
Speaker 1: that's what you're there for, my friend, to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on all that stuff, and we'll be calling on
Speaker 1: you again before too long. But for now, we're going
Speaker 1: to believe it right there. I always appreciate the time,
Speaker 1: keep up the great work, and we'll be talking to
Speaker 1: you again before too long.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, next time we'll have.
Speaker 1: The year for you, all right. I'll be looking forward
Speaker 1: to that. Curtis out the great Curtis House at NewsBusters
Speaker 1: dot org. And I always appreciate him being here. Ten
Speaker 1: fifty four at seven hundred WLW right back on the
Speaker 1: Big One seven LW. Dan Carroll till midnight tonight Wednesday
Speaker 1: night edition of The Midweek Crisis five one to three,
Speaker 1: seven eight hundred The Big One. Congressman Hank Johnson is
Speaker 1: back in the news today and he has recently been
Speaker 1: praised by an organization, the American Arab Anti Discrimination Committee,
Speaker 1: and they say, we need to thank Hank Johnson for
Speaker 1: taking a stand of being a strong voice for Palestinian rights,
Speaker 1: a strong voice for Palestinian rights. So Hank Johnson was
Speaker 1: on some podcast and he was, I guess, expressing his
Speaker 1: strong voice from Palestinian rights. And here's how he did that.
Speaker 1: He called he did that by calling America the number
Speaker 1: one bully and Satan. Let's let's hear the congressman here, Joe,
Speaker 1: Let's hear cut number one if we could please.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we we are the world's number one bully and
Speaker 6: we're using our immense, unrifled power to rule over those
Speaker 6: who have less power, and we're doing it with impunity.
Speaker 6: And this sends a shocking message to the world that
Speaker 6: America is indeed uh the what did what did they
Speaker 6: used to call the Great Hand of Satan or something
Speaker 6: like that. I mean, America under the Trump regime is
Speaker 6: demonstrating that that moniker was was entirely accurate. All right,
Speaker 6: become in this country.
Speaker 1: Hank Johnson that this this guy is a sitting member
Speaker 1: of Congress and he's got the nerve to go on
Speaker 1: some podcast and talk about how America is the Great Satan,
Speaker 1: great friend of the Palestinian freedom. I mean, this guy
Speaker 1: has gone from being an amiable dunce to someone who's
Speaker 1: really dangerous. And if you if the name Hank Johnson
Speaker 1: sounds familiar, that's because it should sound familiar, because this
Speaker 1: is Hank Johnson, and this is the SoundBite we all
Speaker 1: know him for. And let's go ahead and hear cut
Speaker 1: number two.
Speaker 7: It's from shore to shore and at the smallest level,
Speaker 7: the smallest uh location, it's uh seven miles between one.
Speaker 1: Shore and the other. Is that correct? I don't have
Speaker 1: the exact dimensions, but to your point, sir, I think
Speaker 1: Wall is a small island.
Speaker 7: Very small island, and about twenty four miles if I
Speaker 7: recall long, twenty four miles long, about seven miles wide
Speaker 7: at the least widest place on the island in about
Speaker 7: twenty about twelve miles wide on the widest part of
Speaker 7: the island. And I don't know how many square miles
Speaker 7: that that is.
Speaker 2: Do you happen to know? I don't have that figure withness,
Speaker 2: or I can certainly supply it to you if you like.
Speaker 7: My fear is that the whole island will become so
Speaker 7: overly populated that it will tip over and catchsize.
Speaker 2: We don't anticipate that. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1: So they're saying Johnson, Hey, wait, what an absolute fool
Speaker 1: and now he's a stooge for the anti Israel crowd. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: what an absolute disgrace. The Department of Homeland Security as
Speaker 1: a brand new website out. You really need to check
Speaker 1: this out. They call it the worst of the worst
Speaker 1: web page. So they publicly list criminal illegal aliens arrested
Speaker 1: under the Trump administration. And this goes back to the
Speaker 1: caller that I had on the when I was here
Speaker 1: this past weekend, who was telling me that, well, they
Speaker 1: you know, ICE is out there rounding up American citizens
Speaker 1: who haven't done anything. No, no, they're not. They're rounding
Speaker 1: up individuals who've already had judgments made against them that
Speaker 1: they need to get the hell out of the country.
Speaker 1: The site lets the public search hundreds of thousands of
Speaker 1: cases nationwide, spotlights illegals with serious convictions, including for murder,
Speaker 1: sexual assault, child molestation, drug trafficking, gang activity. Well, Americans
Speaker 1: across the country were enjoying their weekends and holiday shopping.
Speaker 1: ICE law enforcement was hard at work arresting pedophiles and
Speaker 1: gang members and drug traffickers, said Secretary Assistant DHS Assistant
Speaker 1: Secretary Aatristiaan McLaughlin. This holiday season, make sure to thank
Speaker 1: law enforcement for all they do to make America safe again.
Speaker 1: And the website is DHS. So it's www dot DHS
Speaker 1: dot gov slash wow, and that'll take it to the arrested,
Speaker 1: the worst of the worst. And you can scroll down
Speaker 1: and you get a mug shot. Here's a dude arrested
Speaker 1: for human smuggling. Another guy arrested for battery, strangulation, domestic
Speaker 1: abuse of a child. A lot of that going on.
Speaker 1: Here's the guy I arrested for in New Orleans for
Speaker 1: forcible rape, aggravated battery. Salt Lake City, Utah. German Oswaldo
Speaker 1: Cicada arrested for sexual exploitation of a child. These are
Speaker 1: the people that are being arrested. Look them up for
Speaker 1: yourself right there on the Department of Homeland Security website,
Speaker 1: The worst of the worst. Steven west Union, what's going on?
Speaker 8: Dan?
Speaker 1: Are you all right?
Speaker 2: Steve?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 2: Christmas?
Speaker 1: Harry, Christmas and all that?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 8: I gotta wonder. You know, when I took the oath
Speaker 8: for the military, it was I remember a line and
Speaker 8: it was very distinctive to me. It says, defend against
Speaker 8: enemies foreign and domestic.
Speaker 1: Foreign and domestic guests. I bet you remember that too, Yes,
Speaker 1: I do, quite well.
Speaker 8: The thing is that I don't understand with all this
Speaker 8: crazy lefts going and going off, why does the conservative right.
Speaker 8: I'm an independent, but I'm conservative, And why do we
Speaker 8: ignore these things? Why do we stay home? Why don't
Speaker 8: we defend these things? It annoys me to no end.
Speaker 8: I mean, I would love to have the authority to
Speaker 8: find a thug when I ever found one and escort
Speaker 8: into the police. How come we can't do that? How
Speaker 8: can we have to wait for the police a very
Speaker 8: small group to police a whole city. How come we
Speaker 8: can't police our communities?
Speaker 2: Well, that's what I want.
Speaker 1: It's you don't want to cross that line where you're
Speaker 1: taking along into your own hands.
Speaker 8: I got it. I gotta tell you, Dan, I police
Speaker 8: my little community here as far as I can reach
Speaker 8: about six houses in every direction.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's all I can do.
Speaker 8: But how come we can't do that as a conglomerate
Speaker 8: across our world, our nation?
Speaker 2: How come we can't say, Hey, my neighbor is.
Speaker 8: A thug from somewhere else doing something crappy.
Speaker 2: And you need to come and get him. How can
Speaker 2: we don't do that?
Speaker 1: Well, if you want to drop if you want to
Speaker 1: drop time on your neighbor that you think is doing
Speaker 1: something that he or she shouldn't be doing, you're well
Speaker 1: within your your your rights to do that.
Speaker 2: I'm can't.
Speaker 1: But you can't go out there. You can't go and
Speaker 1: entertain them and arrest them yourself. I mean, that's it.
Speaker 1: It's just part of the civilized society that we have.
Speaker 8: Well, what you know, foreign and domestic, what happened to
Speaker 8: the citizens are rest.
Speaker 1: Well, as a member of the military, you're taking that
Speaker 1: oath to defend the country from enemies foreign and domestic.
Speaker 1: So we but you're you're no longer obliged to that oath.
Speaker 1: You're not or you're not You're not active duty anymore,
Speaker 1: are you. Well, I'm retired, retired, and I understand, I
Speaker 1: understand it never leaves you. But now I I Steve,
Speaker 1: I understand your frustration. But uh, look, we we can't
Speaker 1: those things too easily get out of hand. But I
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying, because trust you.
Speaker 8: Could collar and escort him out of our country, you know,
Speaker 8: as a nation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's that. Well, that's why, that's why we
Speaker 1: have people like Ice. That's why we have law enforcement,
Speaker 1: local and federal, and we have to we have to
Speaker 1: we have to let them do their job. Let them
Speaker 1: all right, Absolutely, Steve, I appreciate the phone call brother
Speaker 1: out in wets Union keeping an eye on the on
Speaker 1: the houses in his neighborhood. Ken from Mason Hank Johnson
Speaker 1: is an absolute disgrace. This guy wants to go on
Speaker 1: a podcast and uh and and uh, you know, exercises
Speaker 1: bona fides for these the the these pro Palestinian groups
Speaker 1: who are publicly thanking him for being a strong voice
Speaker 1: for Palestinian rights. And this guy is a sitting member
Speaker 1: of Congress who goes out there and talks about how
Speaker 1: America is the great Satan that I mean that that
Speaker 1: that really that is just it is beyond disgraceful.
Speaker 9: But Dan, I agree with you one hundred percent. The
Speaker 9: man should be impeached. These are people that hate America.
Speaker 9: Did we talked about this starting a couple of years ago.
Speaker 9: These people do not love America. They do not believe
Speaker 9: in America. They don't believe in the American dream, they
Speaker 9: don't believe in capitalism, they don't believe in our way
Speaker 9: of life. These people are coming to America, they're not assimilating.
Speaker 9: They want their own own way, you know. And and
Speaker 9: guys like that need to be impeached. They need to
Speaker 9: be removed. You know. The Democrats have declared war on us.
Speaker 9: I hope we understand. They don't agree with anything that
Speaker 9: Donald Trump does. Nothing, They opposed everything he stands for.
Speaker 9: You know, you've had many in the last week that
Speaker 9: have talked about power. That's what these people want, their Marxists.
Speaker 9: They want complete power. They want to put everybody under
Speaker 9: their thumb. They want to tell you what to do,
Speaker 9: when to do, and how to do it. You know,
Speaker 9: too many Americans are so naive in they don't understand
Speaker 9: what these people are all about and what they're capable
Speaker 9: of doing. You know, these people to reality, they're blind.
Speaker 9: That's what makes them an ideal alogue. They don't want
Speaker 9: to deal with reality. They don't want to deal with
Speaker 9: common sense. All they want to deal with is what
Speaker 9: they think the world should be. And these people are crazy.
Speaker 9: Jolano mar should be removed from this country, as you know,
Speaker 9: it's been.
Speaker 1: Keen to her brother.
Speaker 2: You know, that's.
Speaker 1: Well, there's a lot of people questioning now how she
Speaker 1: goes from a net worth of about sixty grand to
Speaker 1: an excess of thirty million in the span of just
Speaker 1: a few short years. And you don't do that just
Speaker 1: on a congressional salary.
Speaker 9: So there's she's never had a real job. You know,
Speaker 9: she's never had a real job. She doesn't have a
Speaker 9: real education. You know, she's a thief, she's a liar,
Speaker 9: and she's a thief. You know, ninety five percent of
Speaker 9: some minds are liars, con artists, and thiefs. You know,
Speaker 9: they were pirateing ships around South Africa for thirty years.
Speaker 9: You know, that's all the people are. They've got to
Speaker 9: conclave out there in Saint Paul. They're practicing Sharia law
Speaker 9: as they're practicing in Michigan and dearborn Sharia law. You know,
Speaker 9: we got people in Texas trying to practice Sharia law.
Speaker 9: I hope your listeners didn't understand. Sharia law is one
Speaker 9: of the worst things ever for women. You know, women
Speaker 9: have no rights under Sharia law.
Speaker 1: It's horrific. It is absolutely horrific, and a large I
Speaker 1: would wager that the vast majority, if not almost all,
Speaker 1: of these young individuals, and especially the women who think
Speaker 1: it's cool to support candidates like Mandani, who think it's
Speaker 1: cool to put a heat job on or cool to
Speaker 1: you know, put on the burka and pretend like you're
Speaker 1: a Muslim, and you know, talk about how America, like
Speaker 1: like Hank Johnson says America is the Great Satan. They
Speaker 1: have absolutely no clue of what goes on when when
Speaker 1: you have Islam as the dominant force, not not just
Speaker 1: as a religious force, but as a political force as well.
Speaker 9: Well, what would women what would they do if they
Speaker 9: knew that in certain situations they can be stoned to
Speaker 9: death because their husband accuses them of adultery.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they're they're the equivalent. They're the equivalent of cattle.
Speaker 1: Why they are the equivalent of property to be owned
Speaker 1: by men. And when you're and you're talking about what
Speaker 1: goes on in Somalia, the Center for Immigration Studies just
Speaker 1: put out a report looking at the Somali population in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: and it's a it's more than seventy five thousand individuals,
Speaker 1: and they report that in more than half, fifty two
Speaker 1: percent of the children in the immigrant homes, the Somali
Speaker 1: immigrant homes in Minnesota live in poverty. Only eight percent
Speaker 1: of the children in native headed homes are let me see,
Speaker 1: while only eight percent of the children native head of
Speaker 1: native headed homes that's they're talking about Americans here, eight
Speaker 1: percent are in poverty. One in eight children in poverty
Speaker 1: in Minnesota lives in a Somali immigrant home. Thirty nine
Speaker 1: percent of the working age Somalis have no high school diploma,
Speaker 1: compared to just five percent of Native Minnesotas. Among working
Speaker 1: age adults, Somalis who have lived in the US for
Speaker 1: more than ten years still cannot speak English very well.
Speaker 1: Fifty four percent of Somali headed households in Minnesota receive
Speaker 1: food stamps. Seventy three percent of Somali households have at
Speaker 1: least one member on Medicaid. Comparative figures for Native households
Speaker 1: are seven percent and eighteen percent. So they're comparing the
Speaker 1: Somali population to the native population of Minnesota, and it
Speaker 1: is in just about every category, and in every category
Speaker 1: you've got the vast majority live in poverty and are
Speaker 1: on some sort of government largess.
Speaker 9: And that violates every tenant of our immigration policy to
Speaker 9: come to America. You come to America because you have
Speaker 9: something to provide us. We don't want you not to
Speaker 9: leach off of us. We're not supposed to feed you.
Speaker 9: We're not supposed to clothe you. We're not supposed to
Speaker 9: house you. We're not supposed to provide you medical care.
Speaker 9: These are things that you're supposed to be doing on
Speaker 9: your own. We're not a babysitter for the world. And
Speaker 9: that's what they've turned this upside down. In the Simon population,
Speaker 9: seventy percent of them that vote in are illegal and
Speaker 9: their votes are counted because Minnesota doesn't require any sort
Speaker 9: of idea of any kind.
Speaker 1: Well, hopefully, hopefully, Ken, all this is going to get
Speaker 1: exposed and dealt with in a serious way. But for now,
Speaker 1: we got to run. We got to get to a break.
Speaker 1: But Ken has always been I appreciate you listen and
Speaker 1: appreciate you picking up the phone.
Speaker 9: Hi, Dane, have a good.
Speaker 1: One, all right, Ken from Mason, Thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Eleven twenty five, seven hundred WLW back on the Big one,
Speaker 1: seven hundred WLW eleven And apparently some bad weather is
Speaker 1: moving in, so you're out there, be careful. And if
Speaker 1: if you listened to me on the radio on doing
Speaker 1: this show, especially during this time slot, and you know
Speaker 1: that one of the one of the topics that I
Speaker 1: talk I talk about a lot and did talk about
Speaker 1: a lot when during the Biden administration was the unaccompanied
Speaker 1: minor children they came into this country And what an absolute,
Speaker 1: what an absolute it is going to be on the
Speaker 1: history of this country. And I came across an article
Speaker 1: in American Thinkers was written by Kevin Finn, and it
Speaker 1: just It just sums up the whole history of this
Speaker 1: quite well, and Kevin Finn writes in the History of
Speaker 1: American Governance, few chapters will stain the page as darkly
Speaker 1: as the utter failure of the Biden Harris administration to
Speaker 1: safeguard unaccompanied migrant children. I must ask this question, if
Speaker 1: their goal was to intentionally traffic children into sexual slaver
Speaker 1: re enforced labor, how would their actions have been any different?
Speaker 1: For four catastrophic years, vulnerable miners poured across the Rio
Speaker 1: Grande and were funneled into a system riddled with incompetence,
Speaker 1: willful blindness, and flat out in negligence. A report from
Speaker 1: the Department of Homeland Securities Office of Inspector General landed
Speaker 1: like a bomb and exposed a tragedy. The administration lost
Speaker 1: track of over three hundred and twenty thousand of these children,
Speaker 1: releasing them to unvetted sponsors without so much as a
Speaker 1: whisper of accountability. These were terrified kids fleeing poverty or violence,
Speaker 1: only to vanish in the shadows of sex, trafficking, forced labor,
Speaker 1: and unimaginable abuse. I must ask this question, why would
Speaker 1: parents send unaccompanied minor children on a trip across hundreds
Speaker 1: or thousands of miles, knowing the likelihood that they would
Speaker 1: be raped, otherwise abused, and forced into slavery. Where were
Speaker 1: they greasing the skids for chain or were they greasing
Speaker 1: the skids for chain migration? The human cost defies comprehension.
Speaker 1: Young girls sixteen years or younger drugged in by alleged
Speaker 1: brothers or uncles. This was the very definition of the
Speaker 1: dereliction of duty that prioritized open borders over innocent lives.
Speaker 1: HHS stripped away rigorous vetting at the onset of Biden's
Speaker 1: reign of error, opting for phone calls instead of in
Speaker 1: person checks, permitting non family sponsors many hosting multiple children
Speaker 1: to whisk away miners. Unchecked addresses provided to ICE were
Speaker 1: eighty percent wrong or wrong eighty percent of the time
Speaker 1: incomplete for over thirty one thousand kids or downright fictional.
Speaker 1: Thirty four children were dumped at two non existent locations
Speaker 1: by one field office alone. Even worse, a twenty twenty
Speaker 1: one interagency packed handcuffed information sharing blocked DHS from sponsor
Speaker 1: biometrics to shield potential criminals from scrutiny. Law enforcement officers
Speaker 1: likened prying data from HHS to pulling teeth as bureaucrats
Speaker 1: fretted over deporting sponsors with rap sheets or immigration status
Speaker 1: because of racism. The result over two hundred and thirty
Speaker 1: three thousand children unrolled in immigration proceedings are unenrolled, I
Speaker 1: should say, in immigration proceedings since January of twenty twenty one,
Speaker 1: plus forty three thousand nose shows in court prime targets
Speaker 1: for cartels, surging and trafficking. Whistleblowers like Tara Rota, former
Speaker 1: HHS recruit, exposed the whrror handcuffing kids to traffickers, members
Speaker 1: of transitional crime organizations, bad bad people. In a final insult,
Speaker 1: the administration's vaunted safety hotline for these kids ignored sixty
Speaker 1: five thousand desperate calls from August of twenty twenty three
Speaker 1: to January of twenty twenty five. Please that span complaints
Speaker 1: about stale bread to nightly assaults by men in bedrooms.
Speaker 1: Of course, it was hard to answer all those calls
Speaker 1: when there was only a single staffer assigned to the task.
Speaker 1: One boy's unanswered cries for help were finally reviewed after
Speaker 1: Trump took office and led to his rescue and his
Speaker 1: sponsor's arrest. As with so many Democrat run operations, fraud
Speaker 1: was rampant. Over six billion dollars flowed to NGOs like
Speaker 1: Endeavors and Southwest Key, whose revenues exploded from fifty two
Speaker 1: million to one point one eight billion in two years,
Speaker 1: with CEO paid doubling. These nonprofits ninety seven to ninety
Speaker 1: nine percent federally funded, became enablers, hiring staff without background checks,
Speaker 1: letting men roam and female dorms, and even staging sexually
Speaker 1: explicit twerking lessons for teen girls. They shuttled miners to
Speaker 1: flights like unwitting an unwilling cargo, while eighty percent of
Speaker 1: sheltered women bore scars of cartel rape en route. Senate
Speaker 1: Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassly hammered home the point Biden crewe
Speaker 1: chose where Biden's crew chose speed and optics over safety,
Speaker 1: releasing twenty four thousand, one hundred kids into high risk,
Speaker 1: distant relatives or strangers in gang infested motels. His referrals
Speaker 1: sparked one hundred two investigations and pierced the veil of secrecy. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the Democrats maintained a stunning silence, avoid where outrage should
Speaker 1: have thundered. No fire speeches for the lost, no needs taken,
Speaker 1: an emancipation hall, no demand for reform. Instead, they doubled
Speaker 1: down on the very policies that unleash this nightmare, shielding
Speaker 1: illegal aliens and the criminal networks that preyed on these innocents.
Speaker 1: Their compassion rings hollow when it excuses the traffickers and
Speaker 1: the NGOs, fattening off federal largesse. Even as Grassley's probes
Speaker 1: exposed the firewall of secrecy, the left blocked bills to
Speaker 1: protect these children from sexual harm. The left new agenda
Speaker 1: empathy for invaders and indifference to the victims they devour.
Speaker 1: The NGOs were the shadowy middlemen in this tragedy, flush
Speaker 1: with taxpayer dollars, yet entangled in political webs that may
Speaker 1: explain the hush. From twenty twenty one to twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: the federal government funded over ten billion dollars in grants
Speaker 1: to immigration nonprofits for UAC services, unaccompanied Children's services. Catholic
Speaker 1: charities alone, and I've talked about Catholic charities before. Catholic
Speaker 1: charities alone pocketed two billion Lutheran immigration and refugee Services
Speaker 1: two hundred twenty one million dollars in fiscal year twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, and another group, HIAS forty point nine million.
Speaker 1: The quid pro quo whispers grow louder when you follow
Speaker 1: the money to campaigns. Open Secrets data shows Catholic charities,
Speaker 1: affiliated or affiliates and employees donated over one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty one thousand dollars to the twenty twenty four cycle
Speaker 1: election cycle. That is ninety five percent to Democrats twenty
Speaker 1: two three hundred and five across forty blue lawmakers versus
Speaker 1: a pittance to Republicans. As a Catholic, I'm disgusted and scandalized.
Speaker 1: Broader Professional Catholic Network skewed ninety nine percent Democrat for
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty four analysis, fueling packs like Immigrants lists
Speaker 1: that poured millions in the pro open border candidates. Even
Speaker 1: obtmptibly neutral groups like US Immigration Fund funneled two hundred
Speaker 1: and seventy two thousand dollars in twenty twenty four with
Speaker 1: chunks to Democrat leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, who pocketed or
Speaker 1: his campaign did pocketed fifteen thousand dollars. This financial symbiosis
Speaker 1: breeds silence. Lawmakers reliant on NGO lobbying seven hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty million spent on immigration since two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: hesitate to buy at the hand that funds their reelection.
Speaker 1: Between January of twenty three and April of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: US political campaigns collected around eight point six billion. Democrats,
Speaker 1: the primary beneficiaries, shield the system that sustains their basis priorities.
Speaker 1: Republicans grandstand, but lack the votes for reform until now.
Speaker 1: Children are lost not just to traffickers, but to a
Speaker 1: political machine greased by grants and gratitude. President Trump and
Speaker 1: his unyielding board result bar borders are Tom Homan a
Speaker 1: hercules for our time, slaying the bureaucratic dragons Biden left
Speaker 1: in his way. Since inauguration Day, Trump's iron fisted enforcement
Speaker 1: has sealed the border zero releases in seven months, five
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy nine thousand removals and two point two
Speaker 1: million total departures, the most secure frontier in history. But
Speaker 1: the real miracle over sixty two thousand, four hundred missing
Speaker 1: children Biden's cast offs, ignored and untracked, have been found
Speaker 1: and freed. Homan's eyes glued to the daily tallies revealed
Speaker 1: on Fox News, over sixty two thousand children found by
Speaker 1: the Trump administration, children that weren't even being looked for
Speaker 1: under the Biden administration. Trump saved over sixty two thousand
Speaker 1: lives of children, sex trafficking rings, dismantled forced labor camps,
Speaker 1: raided horrors too vile for the airwaves unearthed on ex
Speaker 1: Homan hailed the unsung heroes of hhs ICE and the FBI.
Speaker 1: They will not stop until we run down every lead
Speaker 1: on every missing child. Trump's no nonsense leadership requires no
Speaker 1: new laws, just resolve, and border crossings have been slashed
Speaker 1: to zero, starving the cartels, reclaiming the innocent. This is
Speaker 1: redemption and action from Biden's abyss of nearly a half
Speaker 1: million ghosts to Trump's tally of triumphs. Yet the scars
Speaker 1: linger a grim testament to left to the leftist priorities.
Speaker 1: As Holman put it, Trump proves daily why he's the
Speaker 1: greatest president in my lifetime.
Speaker 2: And that.
Speaker 1: Is, if you haven't heard about this, if you don't
Speaker 1: know anything about it, it's beyond shameful that this could
Speaker 1: happen in the United States of America and anytime I
Speaker 1: hear anyone talk about what a great president Joe Biden
Speaker 1: was or how great Kamala Harris was, this is what
Speaker 1: I think about, and how they let this happen under
Speaker 1: their watch, and pray to God that it never happens again.
Speaker 1: Time for me to go. I'll see you tomorrow night,
Speaker 1: right back here on the Home of the Reds and
