WEBVTT - Democrat Reckoning - September 29th, Hour 1 

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.480
<v Speaker 1>In the lead up to this show.

0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:04.640
<v Speaker 2>It's been long, so I'm just going to try and

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 2>summarize it for you. The President announces a peace proposal

0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:16.040
<v Speaker 2>for Gaza. It is a twenty one point peace plan

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:20.080
<v Speaker 2>for Gaza, and one thing that stands out from previous

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 2>proposals for the first time, it outlines the key question

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 2>of how the territory will be ruled after the war.

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 2>There are provisions and this is the joint pressor that

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.760
<v Speaker 2>he had with the Prime Minister of Israel, bb Net

0:00:37.280 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 2>and Yahoo. There are provisions that could either be rejected

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.919
<v Speaker 2>by that could be rejected by Hamas. Actually the President

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>even said, really this is going to come down to

0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.200
<v Speaker 2>all the other countries in the region have signed off

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:55.600
<v Speaker 2>on it. He talked about an expansion of the Abraham Accords.

0:00:56.120 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>He talked about a plan for the future of Gaza

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and what that would look like, and we'll go into

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 2>some of that in a second. And for Harmas, the

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 2>plan means they must surrender. This is an organization and

0:01:10.800 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>it's by the way it is. There's a part of

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:16.080
<v Speaker 2>me that is frustrated at all of this. In this

0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:24.000
<v Speaker 2>sense is there has been this incredible rise in virulent

0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 2>anti Semitism in the halls of Congress, on college campuses worldwide,

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 2>even though the President praised some European leaders, but you know,

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 2>their desire to recognize Palestine, et cetera, et cetera, basically

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.800
<v Speaker 2>giving aid and comfort to the idea that you know

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 2>of Hamas, who's charter calls for the destruction of Israel.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:50.240
<v Speaker 2>And it's nearly been two years. It'll be on October seventh,

0:01:50.280 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 2>it'll be two years since the equivalent based on Israel's

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:58.000
<v Speaker 2>small population side of the size of about ten million people,

0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and which makes every thing that they're able to do

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:08.280
<v Speaker 2>militarily and economically that much more spectacular and amazing. But

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 2>they have been fighting for their very survival. But it

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 2>would have been the equivalent of forty thousand dead Americans

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>in a single day. And you know, and then, and then,

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 2>even among the punditry class out there, there's been a

0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 2>constant refrain of rising anti Semitism, as though somehow this

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:30.959
<v Speaker 2>all happened in a vacuum. The level of ignorance, even

0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:34.200
<v Speaker 2>among people that claim to be on our side, I

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 2>find breathtaking, And that is what would you expect America

0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:42.080
<v Speaker 2>to do based on our population side?

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Size.

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 2>If there was a sneak attack and it wiped out

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 2>forty thousand Americans in a day. We know what happened

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 2>on nine to eleven oh one. We lost twenty nine

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 2>hundred and seventy seven people in a single day. And

0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 2>look at how America reacted, you know. And my question

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.200
<v Speaker 2>to all of these people, what part of murder and

0:03:05.320 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>rape and torture and kidnapping and beheadings do you not understand?

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 2>Many of them, I don't think have gone through the

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 2>due diligence that I've gone through and use them or

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 2>maybe they if they had desired to. The IDEF would

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 2>show people in the media the videos that were taken

0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>by hamas killers themselves as they were bragging, you know,

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:34.359
<v Speaker 2>as they were murdering innocent people and raping young women

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 2>in front of their own children, and then kidnapping them

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>in front of their own children, or killing the children

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 2>themselves in front of their own parents, or phone conversations

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 2>that ended up being intercepted, Oh I killed ten Israelis,

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm you know, Oh this is great news. It's pretty sick.

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Over the years we've gone over the indoctrination of children

0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 2>in Gaza and what has happened. They'll see cartoon uns

0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, from the time that they're able to watch cartoons.

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 2>When they go to school, you know, you get math

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:12.520
<v Speaker 2>problems like, okay, if you kill seven Jews, how many

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 2>Jews are left to kill? That kind of insane indoctrination,

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.800
<v Speaker 2>which really, to me, always explained why a lot of

0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:23.320
<v Speaker 2>the neighboring countries did not want to absorb the Palestinian

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 2>population because they felt that they had been radicalized for

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.800
<v Speaker 2>a number of years. But for this deal to work,

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 2>a moss would need to They will have seventy two

0:04:36.800 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 2>hours and that's it. And if you doubt President Trump's deadlines,

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.960
<v Speaker 2>well they do so to their own peril. They'll have

0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>seventy two hours to return every single hostage and that

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 2>means dead or alive that they have. We expect that

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>there might be as many as twenty that are alive,

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>many others that we know are dead, and the families

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 2>of those victims they want their relatives' bodies back. The

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:07.279
<v Speaker 2>militant group would no longer govern Gaza. They would have

0:05:07.400 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 2>to make that concession. They would have to disarm. Up

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 2>to this point they have rejected that. For Israel it

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 2>would mean not having direct security control over the Gaza strip,

0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 2>which Prime Minister nets And Yahoo has said Israel would

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 2>like to maintain. But more importantly, the plan provides for

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:30.479
<v Speaker 2>the West Bank based Palestinian Authority to eventually govern Gaza,

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:35.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, providing the West Bank, you know, which net

0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:38.520
<v Speaker 2>and Yahou and his hardline allies had up to this

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 2>point resoundly rejected. And all of the other countries in

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 2>the region they want this peace and they're willing to

0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 2>contribute pretty extensively as they outline these these plans. The

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.480
<v Speaker 2>question is, and the President was very clear in making

0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:03.279
<v Speaker 2>his statement, that Amas either returns the hostages and agrees

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:06.760
<v Speaker 2>to the deal, or Prime Minister Nittanya, who gets the

0:06:06.800 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 2>green light to wipe them out. That's pretty much it.

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>That choice then, is going to remain with a moss

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 2>did terrorist leadership, the people that claim that they care

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 2>about people, these are the same people for years. And

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.600
<v Speaker 2>this is where part of the ignorance, I think comes

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>in among some people, because there's such a lack of understanding.

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Unless you've been to Israel and taken the time, unless

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 2>you've been in the terror tunnel network, I've been there.

0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.039
<v Speaker 2>Unless you've been to border towns which I've been to,

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.960
<v Speaker 2>unless you've been there. When the Iron Dome is shooting

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 2>missiles out of the sky, I've seen it, unless you

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 2>have been to the underground playgrounds. Because it only takes

0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 2>about twelve thirteen seconds for a rocket fired, and say

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Gaza into a border city in Israel, well that kids

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 2>can no longer play outside, they have to play an

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 2>underground bunker playgrounds and seeing what life and reality has

0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:12.680
<v Speaker 2>been like. Unless you factor in the hundreds of thousands

0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 2>of rockets even long before, what has happened, unless you

0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 2>factor in that Israel is surrounded by enemies. You got

0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:23.280
<v Speaker 2>a masque to the south in Gaza, you got Hazbala

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Islamic Jihad to the north in Lebanon. Then you add

0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:30.640
<v Speaker 2>the Huti Rebels, then you add the number one state

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 2>sponsor of terror, Iran, and what they have been fighting

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 2>for and battling against is radical Islamic terrorism. So anyway,

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 2>the plan calls for all hostilities to immediately end within

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 2>forty eight hours. Hamas would release all the hostages, actually

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 2>within seventy.

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Two hours that are alive.

0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>The militants we believe hold forty eight of them and

0:07:55.960 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty of them we believe are still alive, at least

0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.960
<v Speaker 2>it's believed by Israel to still be alive. In return,

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 2>Israel would free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners, including some serving

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 2>life sentences, as well as the bodies of other Palestinians

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>held by Israel. Israel would carry out a phase troop

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 2>withdrawal from the Gaza strip. That part of it kind

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>of remains vague, but Gaza would be deradicalized, the terror

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.440
<v Speaker 2>free zone that does not pose a threat to its

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 2>neighbors any longer. Israel cannot as we saw this in

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 2>the conflict with Iran, after the Israelis, you know, took

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 2>out their air defense systems and went right up against

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Iran directly prior to US involvement, taken out to nuclear sites.

0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:50.120
<v Speaker 2>But you know, you could see that the ballistic missiles

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 2>that Iran has been firing, that they fired directly into Israel.

0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.880
<v Speaker 2>You're going from two thousand pound bombs to four thousand

0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.679
<v Speaker 2>pound bombs. And for those those people that have said, oh, Israel,

0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 2>they need to stop, well, what would you want America

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 2>to do? Stop before you actually defeat the enemy so

0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:12.360
<v Speaker 2>they can regroup and then come at you again, Because

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 2>that is the inevitable outcome if you don't finish the

0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.400
<v Speaker 2>job unless you have a serious peace plan that will

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:24.400
<v Speaker 2>be enforced now. Part of it will include a redevelopment

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 2>for the benefit of the people of Gaza. People, by

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 2>the way, innocent people that have suffered. They too have

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 2>suffered because of the leadership of Hamas, which, by the way,

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 2>the pales the name people elected into office. If both

0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 2>sides agreed to the proposal, the war would end immediately

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:46.079
<v Speaker 2>and Israel will withdraw too agreed upon lines to prepare

0:09:46.160 --> 0:09:50.080
<v Speaker 2>for a hostage released. Within seventy two hours of Israel

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 2>publicly accepting the agreement, all hostages alive and deceased would

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>be returned. Once the hostages are released, Israel were released

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and fifty life sentences of prison steners and

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 2>seventeen hundred Gazans who were detained after October seventh, including

0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 2>women and children detained in that context. Once all the

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:14.520
<v Speaker 2>hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 2>and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 2>of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:27.640
<v Speaker 2>safe passage to receiving countries. Upon acceptance of the agreement,

0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.560
<v Speaker 2>full aid will be immediately sent to the Gaza strip.

0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.280
<v Speaker 2>At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 2>was included in the January nineteenth, twenty twenty five Agreement

0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:47.359
<v Speaker 2>regarding Humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure, entry of distribution,

0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.840
<v Speaker 2>and aiding Gaza will proceed without interference from the two parties,

0:10:51.880 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 2>through the UN and their agencies and the Red Crescent,

0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 2>in addition to other international institutions. Gaza will be governed

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:04.680
<v Speaker 2>under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic a political

0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Palestinian committee responsible for delivering day to day running of

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 2>public services and municipalities. And it just goes on and

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:15.760
<v Speaker 2>on and on. They'll have a Board of Peace which

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.600
<v Speaker 2>is chaired by President Trump with other members and heads

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 2>a state to be announced, including former Prime Minister Tony Blair.

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:26.680
<v Speaker 2>The body will be set will set the framework to

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.200
<v Speaker 2>handle the funding for redevelopment, in other words, so that

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 2>the terrorists can't steal the money. The US will work

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 2>with Arab and international partners to develop an international stabilization

0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>forced to immediately deploy in Gaza. It will train and

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.440
<v Speaker 2>provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces, and will consult

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 2>with Jordan and Egypt, who have extensive experience in this field.

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.000
<v Speaker 2>The force will be long term internal security solutions for everybody.

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:02.480
<v Speaker 2>Israel will not occupy or Gaza in the event that

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>Hamas delays or rejects, this proposal, including the scaled up

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 2>AID operation, will proceed in the terror free areas handed

0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 2>over from the IDF to the ISSF. Interfaith dialogue process

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 2>will be established based on values and tolerance and coexistence

0:12:22.160 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 2>while Gaza redevelopment advances. Now, if Gaza rejects this, then

0:12:28.600 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>the consequences will be They're going to get wiped out.

0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:36.839
<v Speaker 2>The consequences will be the fifty first day after the

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:41.040
<v Speaker 2>fifty day deadline that Donald Trump gave Iran. Now it

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.400
<v Speaker 2>is is there any guarantee that this is going to

0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:48.959
<v Speaker 2>be successful? No, there's not, absolutely not. Do I applaud

0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 2>the president. Do I applaud some of these other countries.

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 2>Do I applaud the countries that are supporting the idea

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.440
<v Speaker 2>that we're going to have peace in the region. I

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:01.439
<v Speaker 2>do do. I wish them godspeed and success. I do

0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 2>do I think this is in the best interest of

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 2>the people in Gaza.

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I do do.

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>I think it's in the best interests of Israel ultimately,

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.560
<v Speaker 2>but it has to be demilitarized. I do Do I

0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:15.760
<v Speaker 2>think it's possible?

0:13:16.400 --> 0:13:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Yes? Do I think the chance for sabotage is great?

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I do? You know?

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:27.560
<v Speaker 2>Unfortunately, the level of radicalization has been you know, just

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:31.200
<v Speaker 2>to be realistic, it has been too high. And to

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.120
<v Speaker 2>those that always want to blame Israel, push Israel, you know,

0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.040
<v Speaker 2>to move faster and to do that, I mean, I

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 2>listened to it. I'm frankly the level of ignorance. It's

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 2>almost like people need to get a comprehensive reminder in

0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:51.680
<v Speaker 2>what radical Islami's goal is convert or die. To think

0:13:51.720 --> 0:13:54.720
<v Speaker 2>of what happened on October the seventh. To see the

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.960
<v Speaker 2>money for aid that was sent to the people of

0:13:58.000 --> 0:14:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Gaza that was spent instead of building hospitals and schools

0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:05.840
<v Speaker 2>and infrastructure, that was spent on bombs and terror tunnels

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 2>and ways to kill the Jewish people and to terrorize them.

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 2>And the rockets that they keep buying and spending and

0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 2>shooting into Israel, and that the life that the Israelis

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 2>have lived, and how that if it continues with the

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>military weaponry becoming more sophisticated, they won't have a country

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 2>if it continues anyway, We'll see what happens, all right,

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.080
<v Speaker 2>So we're now headed into the predictable. I am going

0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 2>to be one of the few. Linda, correct me if

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:38.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm wrong. Have I not always said a government shutdown

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:39.880
<v Speaker 2>does not scare me?

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes?

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:44.600
<v Speaker 2>You have always said that, always said that doesn't scare me.

0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:47.680
<v Speaker 2>Scares a lot of people, a lot of hyperbole. Now

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to be the first to say that if

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 2>usually the party in power is the one that has

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 2>the leverage over the party that's out of power that

0:14:59.800 --> 0:15:02.320
<v Speaker 2>is trying to make demands, but they don't have the

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:09.239
<v Speaker 2>power the numbers to influence any significant change. And for example,

0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 2>there have been multiple government shutdowns over the years. You know,

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 2>I guess the longest one was over Obamacare and what

0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>was that, you know, twenty thirteen, twenty fifteen, I forget

0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 2>the exact year. And Democrats now are just basically trying

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.880
<v Speaker 2>to hold the budget hostage. And if they do with

0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 2>their insane demands that they're now currently asking. For example,

0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:38.080
<v Speaker 2>Democrats and Donald Trump said he'd meet with Chucky Schumer

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 2>and Hakeem Jeffries over this issue. It canceled the meeting

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>last week because their demands are so insane. Democrats they

0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 2>want for a four day, you know, four week extension

0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:55.200
<v Speaker 2>R four weeks. They want one point five trillion dollars

0:15:55.240 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 2>in demand for a four week extension. They want to

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 2>repeal of fifty billion dollars to help out rural areas

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 2>in the country in their healthcare funding. They want to

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:12.280
<v Speaker 2>restore taxpayer funded health benefits for illegals. They didn't like

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 2>the idea that the Trump administration is saying able bodied,

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.840
<v Speaker 2>non working adults on taxpayer funded health programs. They have

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.600
<v Speaker 2>to do something either.

0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Sean, I have to interrupt you for one minute, and

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.920
<v Speaker 4>I'm sorry, but we have some audio of Chucky Schumer

0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:28.160
<v Speaker 4>from nineteen ninety six.

0:16:28.520 --> 0:16:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I think you might like to hear this. All right,

0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 1>let's play an anti fraud amendment.

0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.280
<v Speaker 5>All over where we go, people say, well, why can't

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 5>you stop illegal immigrants or others from coming here? And

0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.960
<v Speaker 5>the number one answer we give our constituencies when they

0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:49.320
<v Speaker 5>come here they can get jobs, get benefits against the.

0:16:49.360 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Law because of fraud.

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:54.800
<v Speaker 5>And here the gentleman from Florida has put together the

0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 5>most effective anti fraud measure we can find without it

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.560
<v Speaker 5>changing the app actions of the government one bit, and

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 5>we find all this opposition, Ladies and gentlemen of this chamber.

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:13.000
<v Speaker 5>What I worry about is that this bill, which started

0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:15.199
<v Speaker 5>out with good intentions, whether you agree with it or

0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:17.760
<v Speaker 5>disagree with it, is going to end up being the

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.280
<v Speaker 5>same kind of thing that the public gets angry with

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.840
<v Speaker 5>us on. We say we're doing something and we do

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:30.120
<v Speaker 5>nothing because every time someone makes a rational and small

0:17:30.240 --> 0:17:35.119
<v Speaker 5>proposal to get something done, people say, well, what about

0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:39.680
<v Speaker 5>this hypothetical, that hypothetical, etc. I urge support of this amendment.

0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 5>If you believe you want to stop fraud in immigration,

0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 5>you have no choice but to support this amendment.

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:49.880
<v Speaker 1>We got a cut of Hillary Clinton saying the same thing.

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Now it's probably illegal aliens.

0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.000
<v Speaker 4>We agree with you that we do not think the

0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.479
<v Speaker 4>comprehensive health care benefits should be extended to those who

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.399
<v Speaker 4>are under documented workers and illegal aliens. We do not

0:18:02.560 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 4>want to do anything to encourage more illegal immigration into

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 4>this country. We know now that too many people come

0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.640
<v Speaker 4>in for medical care as it is. We certainly don't

0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:16.720
<v Speaker 4>want them having the same benefits that American citizens are

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:17.640
<v Speaker 4>entitled to have.

0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:24.440
<v Speaker 2>This is how radicalized, how the Democratic Party has changed

0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:29.040
<v Speaker 2>and shifted over the years. They sound like Donald Trump.

0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.959
<v Speaker 2>Now Chucky Schumer is standing with the radicals in his

0:18:33.119 --> 0:18:37.040
<v Speaker 2>party and they are now going to hold the budget

0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:41.680
<v Speaker 2>crisis of the budget hostage. Over one point five trillion

0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 2>dollars in demands, including restoring taxpayer funded health benefits were

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:50.399
<v Speaker 2>illegal immigrants.

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>Apparently.

0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Gavin Newsom, the part time governor of I don't even

0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:57.359
<v Speaker 2>know if you can call him part time. He's like

0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:02.639
<v Speaker 2>occasional governor of the socialist utopia of California. You know,

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.160
<v Speaker 2>whose state didn't have water in it's fire hydrants or reservoirs,

0:19:06.600 --> 0:19:08.879
<v Speaker 2>the state that has the highest state income tax, the

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.920
<v Speaker 2>highest sales tax, the highest gas taxes. And he responds

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.639
<v Speaker 2>to all of my criticisms, doesn't answer a single question,

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:18.000
<v Speaker 2>and then says, you know, we've got the fourth largest

0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:21.399
<v Speaker 2>economy in the entire world. Well, it's the biggest state

0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 2>in the country, number one. I would imagine they have

0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.840
<v Speaker 2>a very big economy. I'll give you an example by comparison.

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:31.919
<v Speaker 2>Mice free state of Florida has a much higher population

0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:35.000
<v Speaker 2>than the state of New York and half the budget

0:19:35.880 --> 0:19:40.040
<v Speaker 2>and no state income taxes at all, and has very

0:19:40.040 --> 0:19:44.359
<v Speaker 2>low gas taxes. And sales taxes, just saying, so this

0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:47.560
<v Speaker 2>is what the Democrats now are going to do. They're

0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:51.399
<v Speaker 2>going this is what they are demanding, a trillion five

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:54.520
<v Speaker 2>to keep the government open for a mere four weeks.

0:19:55.119 --> 0:19:58.879
<v Speaker 2>They don't want the rural health care investment. See when

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden was was president during COVID, he basically opened

0:20:04.119 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 2>up what was universal healthcare and gave benefits for everybody.

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.320
<v Speaker 2>And they didn't like the fact that, Okay, well COVID's

0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:17.639
<v Speaker 2>over and those considerations that we can't afford need to

0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:20.440
<v Speaker 2>be taken back. And Republicans did that the one big

0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.959
<v Speaker 2>beautiful bill. Republicans are saying, you know, we need bipartisan support,

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:29.320
<v Speaker 2>We need to clean CR and allow time for bipartisan

0:20:29.320 --> 0:20:34.919
<v Speaker 2>appropriation process. Democrats don't want that now. Democrats, by doing

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>this adds up September thirtieth, which is only a couple

0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:41.639
<v Speaker 2>of days from now, is not very far away. That

0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:45.200
<v Speaker 2>would be today's the twenty ninth, tomorrow's the thirtieth. As

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:49.920
<v Speaker 2>of tomorrow, government funding deadline is looming, and the Trump

0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:53.439
<v Speaker 2>administration is warning that millions of Americans could lose flood

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:58.119
<v Speaker 2>insurance coverage if Democrats refuse to back the House pass

0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.880
<v Speaker 2>spending bill. Now, if you want to know what hypocrisy

0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 2>sounds like on the left, let me play a montage.

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 2>The last time the issue of a government shutdown was

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 2>a possibility, Democrats were fighting for a clean cr the

0:21:14.359 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 2>position now Republicans find themselves in. This is what they

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:18.320
<v Speaker 2>were saying.

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:23.640
<v Speaker 1>We believe in governance. We want to keep governments open.

0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 4>A shutdown is very serious.

0:21:25.400 --> 0:21:29.320
<v Speaker 3>There are real consequences when the government shuts down. It

0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:34.240
<v Speaker 3>harms our national security, it harms our economy, and it

0:21:34.320 --> 0:21:39.720
<v Speaker 3>harms service members, veterans, retirees, and vulnerable communities.

0:21:39.960 --> 0:21:43.359
<v Speaker 4>We all know a shutdown is unnecessary and completely avoidable.

0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:48.040
<v Speaker 4>The tragedy here is all the civilian employees. It is

0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:49.720
<v Speaker 4>the American people who are going to suffer.

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Border patrol agents will not be paid. TSA agents will

0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 1>not be paid.

0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:58.440
<v Speaker 5>Small businesses will be hurting.

0:21:58.520 --> 0:22:04.000
<v Speaker 4>Not only is it irresponsible and purposely misleading, it is

0:22:04.280 --> 0:22:08.480
<v Speaker 4>dangerous precedent to be threatening a shutdown. I'm worried about

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 4>our air controllers, those in the military. We have over

0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:14.680
<v Speaker 4>almost forty thousand in the military, as well as personnel

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:17.639
<v Speaker 4>who work in the military, and they won't have checks.

0:22:18.000 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, this is real the real people's lives at stake.

0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:25.040
<v Speaker 4>It is not normal to hold eight hundred thousand workers

0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:26.480
<v Speaker 4>paychecks hostage.

0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.080
<v Speaker 3>It is not normal to shut down the government when

0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:30.359
<v Speaker 3>we don't get what we want.

0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:35.639
<v Speaker 2>Our troops deserve better, our children deserve better, and the

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:37.320
<v Speaker 2>American people deserve better.

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.040
<v Speaker 5>These chaos agents, they don't have a plan be They

0:22:41.119 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 5>just want to see everything burning.

0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.639
<v Speaker 2>Shutdown is really is an extremist policy designed to appeal

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:49.000
<v Speaker 2>to an extremist base and hold the whole country hospital.

0:22:49.000 --> 0:22:51.040
<v Speaker 1>So keep this shutdown. You know who's going to feel

0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:53.119
<v Speaker 1>the pay You know who it hurts you?

0:22:55.440 --> 0:22:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was that? Now they just want to shut

0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 2>it down. Let me tell you the bigger part of

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>this is it all has to do with the failure

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:10.760
<v Speaker 2>of Obamacare and the desire for government run healthcare. Because

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:15.280
<v Speaker 2>what Joe Biden and the Democrats did during COVID is

0:23:15.760 --> 0:23:18.560
<v Speaker 2>with Obamacare. Now, remember we were promised you wouldn't lose

0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:20.879
<v Speaker 2>your doctor, you wouldn't lose your plan. The average family

0:23:20.920 --> 0:23:24.200
<v Speaker 2>would save on average twenty five hundred dollars per family

0:23:24.240 --> 0:23:27.399
<v Speaker 2>per year. Now there's over forty percent of the country

0:23:27.440 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 2>that only has one Obamacare exchange option. Number one number

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:36.200
<v Speaker 2>two millions of Americans lost their doctors, millions lost their plans,

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:40.359
<v Speaker 2>and on average, we're paying close to three hundred percent.

0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 1>More on average.

0:23:41.560 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 2>And the you know, during COVID, what Joe Biden did

0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:52.040
<v Speaker 2>is take Obamacare and then created subsidies to offset basically

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 2>universal healthcare, you know, in the guise of what happened

0:23:56.640 --> 0:24:02.200
<v Speaker 2>during COVID to subsiized people whose incomes fall between one

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:04.720
<v Speaker 2>hundred and four hundred percent of the federal poverty level

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:08.320
<v Speaker 2>and cost sharing benefits. Now they also included, you know,

0:24:08.440 --> 0:24:13.160
<v Speaker 2>giving illegal immigrants these benefits as well. Not a single

0:24:13.200 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 2>Republican voted for the original COVID nineteen subsidies because Biden

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:21.480
<v Speaker 2>and his American Rescue Plan Act temporarily lifted four hundred

0:24:21.520 --> 0:24:26.520
<v Speaker 2>percent income sealing for premium subsidies, in other words, taking

0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:30.399
<v Speaker 2>on the healthcare costs of the entire country, which we

0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 2>could never ever do. And this is where Republicans have

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.720
<v Speaker 2>an opportunity to say no. The White House Office of

0:24:37.760 --> 0:24:40.879
<v Speaker 2>Management and Budget released a memo telling federal agencies that

0:24:40.920 --> 0:24:44.160
<v Speaker 2>if the government is going to shut down, they might

0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:46.560
<v Speaker 2>as well make the most of it. And when the

0:24:46.760 --> 0:24:50.639
<v Speaker 2>spending runs out, most government agencies you know, stop at

0:24:50.640 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 2>a hal tier. And while a shutdown will interrupt some

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 2>key government services, you know, essential services will not shut down.

0:24:59.280 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 1>The military. We'll keep being the military.

0:25:02.640 --> 0:25:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh.

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:05.679
<v Speaker 2>And you know the problem is for a lot of

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:08.160
<v Speaker 2>people where it becomes hard is a lot of people

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 2>won't get a check. In the interim Obama shut down,

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.679
<v Speaker 2>he made a big show of closing down national parks

0:25:13.720 --> 0:25:16.240
<v Speaker 2>during the twenty thirteen government shutdown that went on for

0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:19.359
<v Speaker 2>a few weeks. So when the Office of Management and

0:25:19.400 --> 0:25:23.960
<v Speaker 2>Budget directs agencies to consider a reduction in force notices

0:25:24.000 --> 0:25:27.439
<v Speaker 2>for all employees and programs and activities that are not

0:25:27.560 --> 0:25:31.119
<v Speaker 2>consistent with the president's priorities, it stands to reason this

0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:34.520
<v Speaker 2>shutdown will bring about dose two point zero. There's a

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 2>good article about that I read earlier today. So that

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.560
<v Speaker 2>that's that's what's at stake here, and this is this

0:25:40.680 --> 0:25:43.520
<v Speaker 2>is the lines that have been drawn. They're not there's

0:25:43.640 --> 0:25:45.960
<v Speaker 2>not going to be any progress at this meeting today.

0:25:46.800 --> 0:25:51.520
<v Speaker 2>Democrats refuse to back this bill that would reauthorize National

0:25:51.520 --> 0:25:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Flood Insurance Company. That means that insurance will lapse. Every

0:25:56.240 --> 0:25:59.800
<v Speaker 2>single Democrat that you're going to hear, you know, into

0:26:00.320 --> 0:26:06.040
<v Speaker 2>of this has previously come out against it. And actually

0:26:06.080 --> 0:26:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the sixteen days shutdown was over obamacairon twenty thirteen, it

0:26:09.880 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 2>wasn't twenty days. And you know, over a couple of

0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:17.119
<v Speaker 2>partial significant shutdowns in late ninety five stretching to ninety

0:26:17.160 --> 0:26:21.800
<v Speaker 2>six overcuts to healthcare, environmental spending. You know, Fetterman has

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:24.280
<v Speaker 2>been warning Democrats about shutting down the government. With two

0:26:24.359 --> 0:26:29.000
<v Speaker 2>hurricanes threatening the east coast of this country this week,

0:26:29.800 --> 0:26:33.720
<v Speaker 2>not a good time anyway, So we'll watch the hypocrisy

0:26:33.760 --> 0:26:34.280
<v Speaker 2>on all of this.

0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:36.879
<v Speaker 1>It is.

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Senator Fetterman has said, you know, warn of these fellows, Democrats,

0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:45.439
<v Speaker 2>stop with the term nazi and fascist and racist. You

0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 2>got to stop. He's also warning Democratic colleagues not to

0:26:49.040 --> 0:26:50.959
<v Speaker 2>let the government shut down. They're the ones that are

0:26:50.960 --> 0:26:56.440
<v Speaker 2>shutting this down. President Trump earlier today threatened to withhold

0:26:56.480 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 2>federal funds from New York City if Marxist Mamdani wins

0:27:01.840 --> 0:27:05.639
<v Speaker 2>the city's upcoming mayoral election. He said, Mamdani's not going

0:27:05.680 --> 0:27:08.639
<v Speaker 2>to be getting any federal money if he wins. You know,

0:27:08.680 --> 0:27:13.119
<v Speaker 2>he's already said he's gonna I'm gonna fight the Trump administration. Well, okay,

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:17.720
<v Speaker 2>they'll have control over the spending. Good luck the left

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:20.439
<v Speaker 2>is melting down. We'll get into more detail throughout the

0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:24.520
<v Speaker 2>course of the program, because we now have troops patrolling

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:28.320
<v Speaker 2>downtown Chicago. It's a mystery to me that I'll never

0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:30.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll go to my grave not having an answer to

0:27:31.760 --> 0:27:34.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, look at, for example, what the president has

0:27:34.240 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 2>been able to do to make Washington, d c. Safe

0:27:38.480 --> 0:27:42.400
<v Speaker 2>and secure and restore law and order. And Muriel Bowser,

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.840
<v Speaker 2>Democratic governor, I'm sorry, Democratic mayor, has been very supportive.

0:27:46.520 --> 0:27:50.920
<v Speaker 2>He's glad fewer people are dying. How did our nation's

0:27:51.000 --> 0:27:54.399
<v Speaker 2>capital become the number one homicide capital in the entire

0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:57.800
<v Speaker 2>world and we're talking about some very bad areas in

0:27:57.840 --> 0:28:02.080
<v Speaker 2>the world. Anyway, Now, federal troops, after everything that's been happening,

0:28:02.680 --> 0:28:06.320
<v Speaker 2>or in full tactical gear, are in Chicago and in Portland.

0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.040
<v Speaker 2>We'll play you some of the conflicts that are going

0:28:09.080 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 2>on around the country. I noticed that Rapper Ice Cubes

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 2>tour bus was set on fire in Portland because the

0:28:16.320 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 2>anti ice protests that are raging. Their initial reports alleged

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:24.080
<v Speaker 2>the attack was instigated by protesters who identified the vehicle

0:28:24.160 --> 0:28:28.560
<v Speaker 2>due to its prominent ice letters, you know, ice Cube

0:28:29.040 --> 0:28:34.160
<v Speaker 2>as belonging to us immigration and Customs Enforcement. Newsweek reached

0:28:34.160 --> 0:28:37.240
<v Speaker 2>out to a Portland Fire and Rescue spokesman and Ice

0:28:37.280 --> 0:28:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Cubes representative. According to the Oregonian, the charter bus linked

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:46.200
<v Speaker 2>to Ice Cube apparently was set on fire in downtown Portland.

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 2>And there's been confrontation and conflicts in both Chicago and

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.880
<v Speaker 2>in Portland. But for all the years we've scrolled the

0:28:54.960 --> 0:28:58.400
<v Speaker 2>names of people every weekend shot shot and killed in Chicago,

0:28:59.480 --> 0:29:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I don't under stand the mindset that doesn't want to

0:29:02.000 --> 0:29:05.520
<v Speaker 2>keep their own citizens safe and secure to restore law

0:29:05.560 --> 0:29:09.560
<v Speaker 2>and order. I've never understood defund dismantled, no bail laws,

0:29:09.640 --> 0:29:13.160
<v Speaker 2>reimagine the police and put in the social workers. What

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:16.640
<v Speaker 2>makes people think that's going to work? And besides it

0:29:16.720 --> 0:29:20.840
<v Speaker 2>being done politically, then you know ninety ten, eighty twenty

0:29:20.880 --> 0:29:21.240
<v Speaker 2>issue
