1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,480
Speaker 1: Day six of a shutdown.

2
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 2: How's everybody do surviving just well, day six of a shutdown?

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 3: What it's somebody put it on repeat?

4
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: Not me, somebody, somebody who else is in that room

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: with you? Put it on repeat.

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 3: I'm not the only person that works in this room.

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 4: True, I'm not sure who else does work in that room.

8
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: But let's get started right off the bat.

9
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 4: This occurred before I got in the car this morning.

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 4: It occurred a couple of days ago as I start,

11
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,279
Speaker 4: you know, I'm doing the Saturday program and then we're

12
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 4: having dinner with friends and we're talking about stuff, and

13
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 4: I realized that things in this country are uh, I

14
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 4: don't know what phrase to use, spiraling out of control

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 4: FAFO what we wanted. And this is just the backlash

16
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 4: that we're getting as we start to change things.

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: Because anytime, you know, anytime.

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 4: Whether it's in your household, your work, your business, your school,

19
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 4: whatever kind of entity that it might be, when something's

20
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 4: been going along one way, and you know, a new

21
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 4: boss comes into town, for example, and then the boo

22
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: the new boss is like, we're in the wrong path.

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: You know, a CEO gets hired to turn around a

24
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 4: company and they come into the company and they realize,

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: my gosh, nothing in the here is working or everything's

26
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 4: back assword, we need to change this, we need to

27
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 4: change that, And so the boss sits down. And any

28
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: good CEO would do this. A good CEO would first

29
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 4: look at Okay, who's surrounding me, and you try to

30
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: get to know them, understand, like, you know, bring them in.

31
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 4: I bring them into individually, because I don't want them

32
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 4: you know they will, but I'd like to minimize them

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: talking among themselves. So I'd bring dragging in, and I'd

34
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 4: bring you know, Taper in and Jojo in and Brenda in,

35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 4: and myself in and everybody you know and you know

36
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: whoever the I don't know, there's EVP of sales is now,

37
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 4: I'd bring all those people in. I'd say, Okay, one

38
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 4: at a time, not one as a group, but individually,

39
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 4: I'd bring them in. What do you think works around here?

40
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: And what do you think doesn't work around here?

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: Now? Tell me why? Why why do you think? You know?

42
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 4: I mean, develop some rapport and get them to really

43
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 4: kind of spill their guts about what's working and what's

44
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 4: not working, and not that you're trying to get them

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 4: to throw anybody into the bus. But okay, well, if

46
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 4: you tell me that this isn't working, that is dependent

47
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 4: upon let's say a, A is not working, but A

48
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: is dependent upon X Y and Z and x y

49
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: and Z are you know those are vice presidents of

50
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: other divisions or other parts of components of the business. Well,

51
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 4: so why is X, y and Z not working? Well,

52
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 4: you know because X is never here and you know

53
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: why is having an affair with such and such and

54
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: Z is was just brought in because that's the uh

55
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 4: you know, that was somebody's you know, daughter or cousin

56
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 4: or something.

57
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: And or they they got a lot of problems at home.

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: You start finding out everything about everything going on that

59
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: is the culture of the company, the organization, the entity,

60
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: and then you start analyzing, okay, well, then I need

61
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: to maybe this person has all the requisite skills, knowledge,

62
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: the ability that the KSAs, all of the things that

63
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: they need to really get the job done, but they

64
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 4: don't have the proper tools or they're actually doing what

65
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 4: they need to do, but nobody ever seens it, sees

66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 4: it getting done because somebody over here is screwing it

67
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 4: up really badly. So it doesn't very well. You know

68
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 4: dragon and I often you know, have nathy things to

69
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: say about iHeart, because because the company has downsized a lot,

70
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 4: so there aren't a lot of people to get things

71
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 4: done for you.

72
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 5: You know.

73
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: I just give you an example. I spent probably what.

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 4: Ten minutes dragging when I first got here, trying to

75
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: fix the microphone because other people come in here and

76
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 4: they screw around the microphone, and according to you, at

77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 4: least anyway on Friday, you just boom, it dropped down

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: on the console, and then somebody just tried to half

79
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: ass put it back together. And of course there's no

80
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 4: engineer to call. There's no way to fix it. And

81
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 4: by the way, there were two broken microphones that sat

82
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: over here for three or four days. I think I

83
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 4: finally put them out there on the desk. I don't

84
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 4: know whether anybody's taking them and fixed them or not.

85
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: Now they just disappeared after that.

86
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: Oh, they just disappeared because I knew that.

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 3: Wait, we can hope that someone in engineering took them.

88
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 4: But you know what, well, if somebody stole them, they

89
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 4: stole some broke some broken microphone.

90
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

91
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 4: So just certain things don't get done done, and so

92
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 4: it makes it difficult for use a quality product. And

93
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,799
Speaker 4: so if you're the CEO and you're looking at, say

94
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 4: a country, and the country is kind of going to

95
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 4: hell in a handbasket and certain things aren't going you

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 4: start trying to figure out, what do I need to change,

97
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: what do I need to do, how do I do it?

98
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: What's the approach? Blah blah blah, And you start and

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 4: you start making those changes. And sometimes you have to

100
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 4: do it yourself, like you got to fix your own

101
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 4: Damn microphones doesn't.

102
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,799
Speaker 1: Fall off in your lap during your program. Drives me crazy.

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just a.

104
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 4: Little crap like that. But little crap like that is

105
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 4: the broken windows theory. You let the little things go

106
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 4: and then pretty soon, I mean, you know actual Let's

107
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 4: use this microphone as an example. So the microphone, too,

108
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 4: is essential, is an essential component of this program. Without

109
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 4: the microphone, I can't broadcast my voice. And if I

110
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 4: can't broadcast my voice, you can't listen to the program.

111
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 4: So this is is an integral small thing. When you

112
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 4: think about all the components in these two rooms, all

113
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 4: of the boards, all of the components, the electronics, the wires,

114
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: the cables, everything else. This microphone is simply the starting point.

115
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 4: And if you don't take care of the little thing,

116
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 4: then other things start to fall apart. And as they

117
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 4: continue to fall apart, everybody it reaches its own momentum

118
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,599
Speaker 4: where nobody just gives a rat's ask anymore. So nothing happens.

119
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,559
Speaker 4: Blinds are still broken, Blinds will remain broken. I'm totally

120
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 4: given up on ever having new blinds in this place.

121
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: So you know, when the sun finally gets down, as

122
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: winner moves over here, whether I'll be able to close

123
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 4: the blinds and see what I'm doing here or not.

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: Who knows. Nobody cares. Nothing will happen. The thaing's true

125
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 4: with the country, except we're seeing the little things in reverse.

126
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 4: The little things are the big things, and so it's

127
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: the broken windows theory in reverse. So all these big

128
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,599
Speaker 4: things are happening, and what we need to realize is

129
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 4: that is the result of trying to change things. And

130
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 4: as we try to change things. The wild animal that's

131
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: cornered over here, that's both injured, not getting what they

132
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: want and used to be the you know, the main

133
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 4: they were the main predator. They're no longer the predator.

134
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: In fact, we're the predator now, and we're expecting change.

135
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 4: We voted for change, and we wanted change, and we're

136
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: getting change now. It may not always be in the

137
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: wake that or in the u I just looked at

138
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 4: my nose, saw the word wake Wake up, Mike. It

139
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 4: may not be in the form, the time, the manner,

140
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 4: whatever that we expect or that we want. But nonetheless

141
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: we ask for change. So in the broad category of change,

142
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: we're getting what we asked for change. We should expect

143
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 4: that after decades and decades of the radical left in

144
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: this country continuing to get what they want. When you

145
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: start trying to fix the broken windows, when you start

146
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: trying to take care of the little things at the

147
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 4: same time CHARLESO trying to take care of some of

148
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 4: the big things, there's naturally, naturally push pushback, so you

149
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: get a thing like a government shut down, which, by

150
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 4: the way, I don't know, hasn't affected you, hasn't affected

151
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 4: me yet. But then I'm not I'm not traveling until

152
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: this weekend, so I don't know how you know, will

153
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 4: flights be delayed?

154
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I say all of that because.

155
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 4: And I think that the assassination of Charlie Kirk might

156
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: be one of those tipping points, or at least in

157
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 4: my mind, it's kind of the height of the absurdity

158
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: of the radical left in this country. And when that happened,

159
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 4: Democrat lawmakers and the pundits on television and radio for

160
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: that matter, found themselves in kind of a quandary. On

161
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: the one hand, most of them actually loathed Charlie Kirk.

162
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 4: They loathed and Charlie Kirk is just the example. And

163
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to minimize his death, but for his death,

164
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 4: he wouldn't have been a flashpoint. He would have been

165
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 4: one of those sore spots with the radical left that

166
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: continue to be effective, continue to do the things that

167
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 4: he was doing to change and alter the course of

168
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: the of the country in his little part of the world,

169
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 4: which turns out wasn't quite so little college campuses. If

170
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: we only had a Charlie Kirk, say in high schools,

171
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 4: in junior highs, it'd be even more radical. But once

172
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: they get to college and they start going through college

173
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 4: and university, then they start getting, you know, indoctrinated by

174
00:09:51,640 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: the Marxists that have overtaken higher education. So all of

175
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 4: those people loathe Charlie Kirk. And on the one hand,

176
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 4: those that loathed him. On the other many felt that

177
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 4: maybe they should try to hold the line by, you know,

178
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: let's just condemn the shooting, but let's condemn the shooting

179
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 4: butt And that was what was always going on. The

180
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 4: New York Times Ezracline was among those who dipped his

181
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: toe into that water. He wrote a piece within the

182
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: day titled Charlie Kirk was practicing politics the right way. Well,

183
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 4: that's interesting because As Reclined doesn't seem to practice politics

184
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 4: in the same way that Charlie Kirk was. And unfortunately,

185
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 4: Klein then found himself the subject of a backlash from

186
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 4: other people on the left who thought that by praising

187
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: Kirk's invitation to non violent debate that somehow As Reclined

188
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 4: was legitimizing Kirk's views. Because they don't know how to debate,

189
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 4: they can't debate, they can't have policy disagreements. So the

190
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 4: violence that you see in the streets, all the violence

191
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: that you hear about, it's when it gets amplified. Let's

192
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: be objective here, That violence gets amplified amazingly and just

193
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 4: in your face day in and day out. Now, part

194
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: of that is because we're trying to stop the violence,

195
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 4: and the more that we try to deport illegal aliens,

196
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 4: or that we try to destroy Antifa or Black Lives

197
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 4: Matter or any other radical terrorists domestic terrorist organization that

198
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 4: is trying to convert this country from a democratic republic,

199
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 4: constitutional republic into some sort of Marxist socialist utopia. Of course,

200
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 4: there's going to be pushback, and the only way they

201
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 4: know to push back is through violence. And I sincerely

202
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: believe that many, many Democrats sit back and condemn the violence.

203
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 4: You know, they'll put out press release and they'll talk

204
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 4: about it's bad, but in the dead to night, they

205
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 4: actually welcome the violence because their adherence to the cloud

206
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 4: Pivet strategy, their adherence to Elenski's rules for radicals, and

207
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 4: so they know the violence will result in us at

208
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 4: some point asking to quell the violence. Stop it, you know,

209
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 4: don't let it happen anymore. Back to Ezra clined for

210
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 4: a moment, so when he got pushed back for daring

211
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 4: to say that, hey, you know, look, Charlie Kirkshaw, we

212
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: can have civilized debate, he was invited onto the New

213
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 4: York Times podcast The Democrat Left's most sacred figure, the

214
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 4: Memoris Tamisi coates to carry out a public struggle session. Uncline, now,

215
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 4: giving coachs all the difference of The New York Times

216
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 4: believes as do. Coach and Klin tried to have the

217
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 4: quote difficult conversation about why Coach had reacted negatively to

218
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 4: Klein's initial peace. Now Coats said that since Kirk's murder,

219
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: he had he had, with his usual degree of research,

220
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: watched a bunch of clips of the right wing speaker,

221
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 4: and then he didn't like what he saw. In fact,

222
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 4: he concluded that Kirk was anti blay, anti black, anti gay,

223
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 4: anti trans, anti everything, or, as Coax elegantly summed it up, well,

224
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: that dude was just wrong. But yet, the most important

225
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 4: moment in an otherwise interminable conversation between these two was

226
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 4: when Ezra Kline tried to explain what he was thinking

227
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 4: when he wrote his initial condemnation of Kirk's murder. Coach

228
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: gave a very telling reply, couldn't you have just stay silent?

229
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 4: Why did you have to say anything? Think about that

230
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 4: for a moment. Rather, I mean, Ezra Klein came out

231
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: and said that violence is not acceptable, and Coach's reply

232
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: The New York Times podcast Guy His reply was was

233
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 4: silence not an option? Think about what that actually means.

234
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 4: Why did you have to condemn the assassination of a

235
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: thirty one year old who had made a name for

236
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,359
Speaker 4: himself and had actually changed hearts and minds on college campuses,

237
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: woken people up to what was happening and got them

238
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 4: mobilized to become active in our political system.

239
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Bingo, that was it.

240
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 4: So the same people had been telling Americans for the

241
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: past decade that silence in the face of violence, and

242
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 4: somehow complicity was now saying that silence is violence, actually preaching,

243
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 4: in other words, that silence should in fact be an

244
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 4: option after political assassination. Think about that silence should be

245
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 4: the option after the political stay. Oh, somebody got shot

246
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 4: for saying what they spoke, so let's just shut up.

247
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 4: That is that is the American left in one sentence,

248
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 4: was silence not an option?

249
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it should be necessary.

250
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 4: To rehearse the litany of all the left wing violence

251
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: that discard America for the past decades, but we ought

252
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 4: to repeat some of it. I heard about it on

253
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 4: the way in about Portland.

254
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: Now.

255
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 4: I have a friend who used to he didn't well, actually,

256
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: I used to have a client in Portland. But this

257
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 4: has been twenty years ago. Had a client in Portland,

258
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 4: so I traveled to Portland, I don't know, two or

259
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: three times a month. I never saw the violence twenty

260
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 4: years ago. But then I have a friend who lived

261
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 4: in Washington State, not far from Portland, who would go

262
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 4: into Portland for quite a bit on weekends to you know,

263
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 4: go on dates or do stuff. And then stopped because

264
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 4: it just became too much. And then I started seeing

265
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 4: people that would try to convince me on Instagram or

266
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 4: x or some other social media platform about hey, look

267
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: I'm walking around Portant. Look how nice it is. Well,

268
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: I can walk around some places of Denver and show

269
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 4: you how nice it is, just as say do better

270
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 4: Denver can walk around some places of Denver and show

271
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: you how crappy it is. It's nothing is all one

272
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: thing and all another. But what is true is this?

273
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 4: Take Denver for example. There's probably some areas in Denver,

274
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: like where I'm sitting right now, that are relatively safe,

275
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 4: relatively clean, mostly absence of homeless.

276
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: But occasionally, at the corner.

277
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 4: Of Bellevue in twenty five I'll see a little homeless encampment.

278
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 4: I know for a fact, because I've ventured to go

279
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 4: look at it during the day. Behind the McDonald's over

280
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 4: here is the homeless encampment that is hidden behind an

281
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 4: embankment between the retaining wall that divides the property where

282
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 4: the McDonald's and Taco Bell and everything else is from

283
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 4: the highway, so that there is a you know, there's

284
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 4: this little safety zone there, and they made it into

285
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 4: a little homeless city down there. Quite nasty, very very nasty.

286
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 4: So all of this violence takes place and it gets amplified.

287
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,400
Speaker 4: We need to take that amplification with a little bit

288
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 4: of skepticism because of course, the violence now is being

289
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 4: amplified by the left because they want us to eventually

290
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 4: reject the violence. When hm, the violence that I see

291
00:17:56,080 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 4: is actually being perpetrated by the left on those who

292
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: are trying to make the change that we voted for.

293
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: You get it, Who's really the source of the violence?

294
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 4: Very coarsely, is ice the source of the violence? Or

295
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 4: people resist the ice the source of the violence.

296
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: Good morning, Michael, and to ragged beautiful weather. There's no

297
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: traffic on the roads. It's gonna be a beautiful week.

298
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: I just do know what, have a great day.

299
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: First pointed out our officers' eyes we have. I mean,

300
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 2: this is a whole gamut of things.

301
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 6: You know, Paul, it is a good thing I'm not

302
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 6: running Portland because that would end tonight. I'm trying to

303
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 6: remember that line from Tombstone. I'm coming and Hell's coming

304
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 6: with me. Why would anyone tolerate rocks, bottle rockets, lasers

305
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 6: being used towards cops. I mean, it is incomprehensible to me.

306
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 7: And this is where the Trump administration is on very

307
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 7: firm ground. And these are federal officers and federal facilities

308
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 7: that are being obstructed from enforcing federal law. Consequently, not

309
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 7: only is he fully within his powers to send in

310
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 7: other federal officers that is, other three letter agency agents HSI, etc.

311
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 7: But even the National Guard because federal law is being obstructed.

312
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 7: And then the other piece to is tray. As you

313
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 7: and I both know, is that the local police are

314
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 7: just mia on these issues. When you see these riots

315
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 7: going on. Finally out in Chicago, you got the state

316
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 7: police there, but they have intel about what's going on.

317
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 7: They know what's coming at them. Many of these groups

318
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 7: are quite public. Here in New York, the NYPD is

319
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 7: very adept at penning protesters in so that they get

320
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 7: to exercise their First Amendment rights, but that we don't

321
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 7: get a riot as they do. So you don't see

322
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 7: the local police doing that. And you have to imagine

323
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 7: that those orders from the reporting we hear are coming

324
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 7: from the mayor's offices. The mayors in these towns, these

325
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 7: blue blue cities just have their cops standing down and

326
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 7: as a result, ice officers are getting less protection than

327
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 7: the average citizen.

328
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 4: Why would Portland tolerate rocks, bottle rockets, lasers being used

329
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 4: against cops. Let's go through some of the history of

330
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 4: this violence. There was the emergence early in the past

331
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 4: decade of these little groupings that became known as antifa,

332
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: the anti fascists. In fact, these so called anti fascists

333
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 4: started from the very get go, behaving like nothing so

334
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 4: much as the fascists they everywhere searched for. They became

335
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: what they supposedly were looking for, well, hunting fort literal

336
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 4: Nazis in places like Portland. They got away. They got

337
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: absolutely away with attacking federal buildings on a nightly basis,

338
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 4: shooting up businesses which anti the claim were fascist. Oh,

339
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 4: so that business is fascist. Let's go burn it down.

340
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 4: Let's go throw a Molotov cocktail through the windows, just

341
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 4: you know, let's go throw a cinder block through it,

342
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 4: and then of course attacking and hospitalizing journalists Andy no

343
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 4: think about him, who were simply reporting on those activities.

344
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 4: One of the main targets of antifa activists over the

345
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 4: past decade has indeed been federal buildings and almost any

346
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 4: federal agency. Those activists dressed head to toe in black,

347
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 4: covered their faces with masks, long before the COVID nineteen

348
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 4: virus made masking apparently popular among some people. I saw

349
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: a stupid cartoon. I read the cartoons every morning, and

350
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 4: there was some stupid cartoon I forget. I think it

351
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 4: was non sequitor. This shows a line going into heaven

352
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 4: and there's you know, there's Saint Peter, you know, checking

353
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: off the new aims, and there's two lines and there

354
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 4: are a bunch of people waiting in line while this

355
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 4: other group went through. The group that's waiting in line

356
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: are the people that, according to this cartoon, which I

357
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 4: didn't find funny at all, are the people.

358
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 1: That refused to get vaccinated.

359
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 4: And so the people that are cutting in front of

360
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 4: the line seeing Saint Peter first are those who apparently

361
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 4: caught COVID because other people refuse to get masked. That

362
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 4: was one of the editorial cartoons I looked at this morning.

363
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 4: It's twenty to twenty five, we're getting close to twenty

364
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 4: twenty six, and they're still trying to push that narrative. Anyway,

365
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 4: back to the masks. You'd have to scour the newspapers

366
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: or the websites over the past decade to find full

367
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 4: throated condemnation of antifa from Democrat politicians and pundits, because

368
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: most of them either ignored Antifa's growth, they tried to

369
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 4: minimize it, or if they were even questioned about it,

370
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 4: said that actually, it's a good thing to be an

371
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 4: anti fascist, which, come to think of it, it is.

372
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: I'm anti fascist, but I haven't been out burning down

373
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 4: buildings or trying to destroy businesses. But that completely ignores

374
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 4: the fact that Antifa are the ones that are actually

375
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 4: behaving like fascists. That's what we see in the streets

376
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: of these cities this morning, and we saw all weekend.

377
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 4: You compare that lack of condination with the words that

378
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 4: prominent Democrats have used just in the past few weeks

379
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 4: to describe one of the main targets of ANTIFA, immigrations

380
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 4: and customs enforcement. Tim Waltz describes ice, Obviously, we've heard

381
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 4: a bazillion times, they're the gestoppo. The Democrat mayor of Boston,

382
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 4: Michelle wou describes them as Neo Nazis and the oh,

383
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 4: they were so moderate as he wants you to believe.

384
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 4: Governor of California Gavin Newsom describes them as the secret police, Gestapo,

385
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 4: Neo Nazi's secret police.

386
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: Gee, how they get their people riled up?

387
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they would straight up disappear people, is the way

388
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 3: I understand.

389
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,199
Speaker 4: That's right, And they are disappearing them. They're disappearing them

390
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 4: right now into detention facilities and sometimes for their particular acts.

391
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 4: If they're a US citizen, they're disappearing them into a

392
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: federal jail. Now, I didn't say local because the locals

393
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 4: aren't doing anything. They're not doing anything at all. So politicians,

394
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: you reserve their strongest language for government agencies and their

395
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 4: most milk toast comments for the vandals that are parading

396
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 4: the streets at night.

397
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,959
Speaker 1: You might think, and you might reasoning reasonably conclude.

398
00:24:55,720 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 4: That they have an extremist problem and as we started

399
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 4: to ask for and get the change that we voted for,

400
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 4: It's coming into even plain sight. The language that the

401
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 4: Democrat left has been using against mainstream Republican voters spiraled

402
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 4: out of all reasonable control. Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi,

403
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 4: almost every other major Democrat SAMs or, with the exception

404
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 4: of perhaps John Fetterman, repeatedly insists that Donald Trump is

405
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 4: what do I have to finish the sentence? Donald Trump

406
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 4: is what he is a what he is an existential

407
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 4: threat to democracy, and that his victory last November in

408
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 4: a free and fair election is going to herald in

409
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 4: a new Nazi era in America. If you did any

410
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: sort of reasonable analysis whatsoever, that would be described as.

411
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Deranged, truly deranged.

412
00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 4: But the problem is that's been the mainstream r Rhetorican

413
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 4: Democrat Party and the organs that support the Democrat Party,

414
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 4: like MSNBC and obviously the New York Times that I

415
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 4: mentioned last segment. That's just their DNA in the way

416
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 4: they described Trump and US as the voters, and that's

417
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 4: just the way it is. Industry mains. So, even after

418
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 4: Trump himself suffered not one but two very near miss

419
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 4: missed assassination attempts against his life. So perhaps some of

420
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 4: the Democrats and their party mouthpieces who paired the Nazi line, seriously,

421
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 4: I think they actually believe it. Others, perhaps more often,

422
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 4: probably use those slurs because well, that's the strongest rhetoric armory,

423
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 4: you know, rhetorical armory they that they can actually deploy

424
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 4: and put out there. So back to Kirk's assassination last month,

425
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 4: and this story is really not about Kirk's assassination at all.

426
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 4: It's just that I think that's a flashpoint. The further

427
00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 4: we get away from it and we're able to get

428
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 4: away from the emotion of it, is it's truly a flashpoint.

429
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 4: So last month, Gavin Newsom's press office was having a

430
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 4: perfectly normal Friday night by posting a message on x saying,

431
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 4: in all capital letters, trying to, you know, either troll

432
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 4: or emulate I'm not sure which one. Donald Trump in

433
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: all caps, Stephen Miller is a fascist. Stephen Miller is

434
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 4: one of the deputy chiefs of staff. Now, all that,

435
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 4: despite the fact that that that rhetoric obviously used against

436
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 4: Charlie Kirk for years, appears to have persuaded the young

437
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 4: man who took the shot that, in his own words,

438
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 4: he had had enough of Kirk's hatred and some hate

439
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: can't be negotiated out. I think that one individual, that

440
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 4: assassin of Charlie Kirk, really epitomizes what they believe on

441
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 4: the left, That they believe that all of us are

442
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 4: full of hate and that the hate can't be negotiated out.

443
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 4: So now you take that and you recognize that the

444
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 4: goons of Antifa, whose ideology Kirk's assassin evidently aligned with,

445
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: they've been spatting that line for years, that the only

446
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 4: good fascist is a dead one. The helpful proviso for

447
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 4: them is they get decide. They get to decide who

448
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 4: the fascists are. So someone who is out advocating free speech,

449
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 4: free and open debate says, I disagree with your choices,

450
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: but respect your right to make those choices. I just

451
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: think they're wrong, and I'm willing to debate you about

452
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 4: those choices, or I'm willing to debate you about policy choices.

453
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: We decided that's the fascist, not the guy on the

454
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 4: rooftop that says, catch this fascist on his ammo. Wow,

455
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 4: that's that's really where we are today now. The Democrat

456
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 4: left they had already broken the taboo on attacking federal agents.

457
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 4: They normalize that way back in twenty twenty seems like,

458
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: I mean, it really does. To me, seems like a

459
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 4: long time ago. It's funny, how like, you know, I'm

460
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 4: getting ready to I'm getting ready to take my granddaughter

461
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 4: to nine to eleven next weekend, I mean to the memorial,

462
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: the museum, And to me, that seems like yesterday. But

463
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 4: the George Floyd riots of twenty twenty seemed like decades ago,

464
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 4: a long long time ago. That's when the cops were

465
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 4: in the crosshairs of the left. But even that was

466
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: nothing compared with the demonization of federal agents that are

467
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 4: working for ICE. Holy days after Kirk's assassination, another youngman

468
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 4: got into the roof of building and fire. Joshua John,

469
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 4: also in his twenties, scaled a building in Dallas to

470
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 4: shoot at an ICE facility there, And just like Kirk's assassin,

471
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 4: he had ornaments his bullets with slogans. And while Kirk's

472
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: assassin had inscribed ANTIFA slogans such as hey Fascist catch

473
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 4: on his bullets, John adorned his with anti ICE slogans,

474
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 4: and Yon fired at ICE officers but managed, in a

475
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 4: really kind of cruel and ironic twist, to kill one

476
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 4: detainee and wound two others before he turned the gun

477
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 4: on themselves. They always turned the guns on themselves. One

478
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 4: killed a foreign immigrant, an illegal alien, in the name

479
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 4: of anti fascism, which is certainly another vindication for those

480
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 4: who have pointed out that antietha are not who they

481
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 4: say they are. So where I mean at this stage,

482
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 4: what Democrats have a predictable retort? Guess what it is?

483
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: Why can't the mainstream media, the liberal media said Democrat Party,

484
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: not Democratic Party. They're so smart and so above everybody.

485
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 2: Why can't they get it right?

486
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: Playing them? And again dragon, Why.

487
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 2: Can't the mainstream media, the liberal media say Democrat Party,

488
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,719
Speaker 2: democratic Party. They're so smart and so above everybody. Why

489
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 2: can't they get it right?

490
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, what's interesting about that is I get chastised a

491
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 4: lot for referring to it as the Democrat Party and

492
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 4: not the Democratic Party. That pisces off Democrats because they

493
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: know precisely what I'm doing. Temmy Duckworth, If you think

494
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 4: that I'm just making stuff up, what.

495
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 7: Are local authorities telling you about what they think happened here?

496
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 5: Well, they lie, right, The Trump administration lies. We have

497
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 5: a president who's a known liar, and they have been

498
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 5: They've been lying about the situation all along. And in fact,

499
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 5: they even shot tear grenades, tear grass grenades, I think

500
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 5: at a reporter who was simply driving by with her

501
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 5: window open. And so we're urging people, urging our protesters

502
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 5: remain calm, peaceful protests, exercise for First Amendment rights.

503
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 3: But video tape everything.

504
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 5: Everybody has a phone tape everything, so we actually have

505
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 5: real evidence of what is happening. We know that Trump

506
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 5: administration lies consistently, and what I am hearing is that

507
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 5: for the large part, people are being very quiet, are

508
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 5: being very respectful, but Ice is being very aggressive. Remember

509
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 5: that they are zip tying children. They are raiding apartment

510
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,719
Speaker 5: blocks in the middle of the night, separating children from

511
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 5: their families, pulling people out onto the streets naked. They

512
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 5: are using gestapo tactics in Chicago. And this is what

513
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 5: Trump wants to do, right, he wants to intimidate the

514
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 5: people of Chicago.

515
00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: That's not going to happen.

516
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 5: And we're going to document everything and make sure Just

517
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 5: as the judge in Portland said that these these requirements these.

518
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: Oh, where to begin.

519
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 4: How many felons get dragged out, nagged because they have

520
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: an arrest warrant and they pick them up at two

521
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 4: o'clock in the morning. How many children get separated from

522
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 4: their families because mom and dad were dealing drugs, and

523
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 4: of course there's a social worker there to take care

524
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 4: of the kids and you know, take them somewhere. It

525
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 4: happens all the time. It happens all the time. And

526
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 4: just because you're enforcing the law does not mean you're

527
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 4: using gestapo tactics. But this is a bastardization of the

528
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 4: language in order to make you repel and revolt against

529
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: law enforcement, to the point that, as you've probably heard

530
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 4: by now, law I asks for help because they're being

531
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 4: surrounded by crowds that are attacking them, and Chicago Police

532
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 4: Department is told to stand down to not help
