1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,720 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Center, Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 2: you as well. We are right in the middle of 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 2: a government shut down that Democrats were yearning for. 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: It's the Schumer shut down. 6 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 2: But there's also a lot of misinformation or as I 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 2: like to call it, lies that are coming out of 8 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 2: this shutdown, and things that Democrats are accusing Republicans are 9 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 2: that just aren't true, and we're going to cover that 10 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: today as well. 11 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 3: Well. The Schumer shutdown continues. The federal government is partially 12 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 3: shut down. Between seventeen and eighteen percent of the federal 13 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: government is closed. It's going to stay closed as long 14 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 3: as the Democrats continue their temper tantrum. But at the 15 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 3: same time, we're also getting a bit of a history lesson. 16 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,480 Speaker 3: Seventy six years ago, George Orwell wrote the classic book 17 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four about the oppressive totalitarian government he perceived 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 3: of the future, and also about Orwellian doublespeak. And I 19 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 3: got to say, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats in Congress 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 3: are doing an illustration of this now. They are gaslighting 21 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: the American people. They are attempting to argue things that 22 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 3: are simply false. In particular, to shift from a book 23 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 3: to a movie like Casablanca. They are shocked, shocked to 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 3: find there's gambling, and they're shocked shocked to find that 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 3: anyone is saying that they want free, taxpayer provided health 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 3: care for illegal aliens. Well, the nice thing about this 27 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: podcast is is that we bring the receipts. So we're 28 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 3: going to lay out the actual facts because the Democrats 29 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 3: are gaslighting, the media is gaslighting, and the facts are 30 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: clear that this is the Schumer shutdown and it's going 31 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: to end when they cave. We're also going to talk 32 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 3: about a hearing that was in the Senate Judiciary Committee 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 3: this past week focused on rising crime and the horrific 34 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: murder rates and crime rates in blue cities and the 35 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: Democrat policies of releasing violent criminals that endanger their citizens. 36 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 3: Democrats have decided they are all in not in support 37 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: of protecting innocent families, but rather in support of the 38 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: murderers and rapists and child molesters that Soros DA's are 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 3: releasing onto the streets. We're going to break those facts 40 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 3: down as well, and finally, we're going to talk about 41 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 3: the continued pattern of left wing ideologically motivated violence whether 42 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 3: it is attacks on ICE agents and ICE facilities, or 43 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 3: whether it is yet another horrific anti Semitic attack in 44 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 3: Great Britain. Over and over again we see the extreme 45 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: rhetoric from the left has deadly real world consequences. All 46 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: of that on today's podcast. 47 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really it's going to be interesting to look 48 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: at what we're witnessing now and how the world's reacting 49 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: to it as well. Want to tell you real quick 50 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: though about our awesome sponsor, and that is Patriot Mobile. 51 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: I have got a cell phone and I can tell 52 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: you I've been using now Patriot Mobile for years. And 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: the reason why is because I know that my dollars 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 2: are going to a company that are not actually fighting 55 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 2: against my Christian values. Patriot Mobiles started more than a 56 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 2: decade ago by a group of conservatives that found out 57 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: where their money was going with Big Mobile. They didn't understand, 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 2: and you may not realize just how bad it's gotten. 59 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 2: Big Mobile gets big donations to hard core leftist causes, 60 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: organizations and groups that actually support and pay for abortions. 61 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 2: For example, if you don't want your money going there, 62 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 2: you now have an option. It's Patriot Mobile. They give 63 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 2: you amazing nationwide coverage. I travel all the time, and 64 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 2: I love the coverage I get with Patrio Mobile because 65 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: they're on all three major networks. That also means that 66 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: you are going to get the coverage you're used to, 67 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: if not even better coverage when you switch. 68 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: But here's where the magic happens. Every time you pay your. 69 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: Bill, they take about five percent of that bill at 70 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,200 Speaker 2: no extra costs to you, and they give it back 71 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 2: to conservative causes that fight for our First and our 72 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: Second Amendment rights, that fight for the rights of unborn children, 73 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: and also that support and advocate the families of fallen soldiers, 74 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: wounded warriors, and our men and women that wear a badge. 75 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: So if you want to make a difference with every 76 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: call you make, with every text you send, then switch 77 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: to Patriot Mobile and I'm gonna give you a free 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: month of service.

All right, 89 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 2: so let's just give a quick overview of the shutdown, 90 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,599 Speaker 2: real quick center for people that are just joining us. 91 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: This shutdown was premeditated. It was well thought out and 92 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: organized by the left. And this is all because Chuck 93 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,799 Speaker 2: Schumer need to say, hey, crazy, he's in the Democratic Party. 94 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: I promise I'm crazy. Please AOC don't primary me, and 95 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 2: you don't get rid of me as being your leader. 96 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure I would say it was well 97 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: thought out, but it was certainly premeditied. And you're right. 98 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 3: You put your finger on the reason, which is Chuck 99 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 3: Schumer and the Democrats have a political crisis. And the 100 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: political crisis actually has nothing to do with government funding. 101 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: It has to do with the rise of the extreme 102 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 3: left in the Democrat Party and Schumer. Several months ago, 103 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 3: Schumer worked with Republicans to keep the government open and 104 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 3: that was the responsible thing to do, and so of 105 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: course the crazy left wing fringe got furious and they 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: almost cost him his job. And in fact it's striking 107 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 3: Democrat Senate candidates all across the country are being asked, 108 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: do you support Chuck Schumer to be leader of the 109 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: Democrat Party, And to a person, not a one of 110 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 3: them is saying yes. Nobody's saying yes. It's that bad. 111 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: AOC is breathing down his neck, he's looking over his 112 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 3: left shoulder at her. And so this shut down is 113 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 3: really Schumer beating his chest and saying, see, I hate 114 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 3: Donald Trump too. I can shut the whole federal government down, 115 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 3: aren't I tough? 116 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 4: Now? 117 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 3: What's interesting he doesn't have an exit ramp. He doesn't 118 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 3: have a plan to end this. This is just a 119 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,160 Speaker 3: temper tantrum. And amazingly, almost all the Democrats are standing 120 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 3: with him, all but three. The first couple of times 121 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: we voted, all but three Democrats voted shut the government down. Now, 122 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: the ostensible policy demand they're making is they want free, 123 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 3: taxpayer provided health care for illegal aliens. Although the amazing 124 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: thing I mentioned nineteen eighty four a minute ago, they 125 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: are engaged in doublespeak where Democrats are going on TV 126 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: and saying no, no, no, we don't want free health care 127 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: for illegals. That's not remotely what this is about. And 128 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: the media CNN, boy, they are spinning so fast that 129 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 3: they are like windmills in a tornado. They're spinning so fast. 130 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 3: So I'm going to give you three compelling reasons to 131 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: demonstrate that they are utterly full of crap when they 132 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 3: are lying to you. Reason number one, the actual text 133 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: of the Democrats CR. Now, what's a CR. A CR 134 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 3: is a continuing resolution. It is legislation that keeps funding 135 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 3: for the government going. The House representatives controlled by Republicans 136 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 3: past what's called a clean CR. That means all the 137 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 3: House did is say the funding that we had a 138 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 3: couple of days ago keeps on going tomorrow. We fund 139 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: everything at exactly the same levels. We change nothing, We 140 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 3: just keep the lights on. We don't shut the government down. 141 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 3: We keep going. That's what the House passed. Now, when 142 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 3: Joe Biden was president, do you know how many times 143 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 3: Republicans worked with Democrats to pass a clean CR and 144 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 3: keep the government open for Joe Biden? 145 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: More than a dozen if I remember correctly. 146 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 3: Thirteen thirteen times the House is passed a clean CR 147 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: the Senate. We voted repeatedly on the clean CR. If 148 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: the Democrats voted yes, boom, the government would stay open. 149 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 3: What they've done instead is they have not a clean CR. 150 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: They have a CR that keeps government open. But it 151 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 3: also repeals major portions of the One Big Beautiful Bill 152 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 3: and in particular provides for healthcare free taxpayer healthcare for illegals. Now, 153 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: let me read you the text from the Democrat CR. 154 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: On page fifty six of the Democrat R. It says, 155 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 3: Subtitle B of Title seven of the Act, titled an 156 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: Act to Provide for Reconciliation pursuant to Title two of 157 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 3: h Conreds fourteen Public Law one nineteen twenty one, is repealed, 158 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,359 Speaker 3: and any law or regulation referred to in such subtitles 159 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 3: shall be applied as if such subtitle and the amendments 160 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: made by such subtitle had not been enacted. In no 161 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: event shall payment be made to a state under this 162 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 3: section for medical assistance furnished to an individual unless such 163 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: individual is a a resident of one of the fifty States, 164 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: the District of Columbia, or a territory of the United States, 165 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 3: and b either a citizen or national of the United States, 166 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residency. That's the 167 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 3: language they're repealing. It says you have to be a 168 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 3: US citizen or a legal immigrant to be eligible for medicaid. 169 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 3: That's the language they want to repeal. I'll tell you 170 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: what else they want to repeal. They want to repeal 171 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: section seven to one to one zero nine, entitled Alien 172 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: Medicaid Eligibility. That's further language that makes clear that illegal 173 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,560 Speaker 3: aliens are not eligible for Medicaid. They also want to 174 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 3: eliminate section seven one two oh one, limiting medicaid coverage 175 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: of certain individuals. They want to eliminate section seventy one 176 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 3: to three to OZHO three, requiring verification of eligibility for 177 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 3: premium tax credit. All of that is what they're trying 178 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 3: to get rid of. That's number one on the express 179 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 3: terms of what they're doing. Here's a second point. Every 180 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 3: time you see a Democrat or anyone from the corporate 181 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 3: media aligning to you and say Democrats don't want to 182 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,880 Speaker 3: prove free health care free illegals, I want you to 183 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 3: remember the debate in the presidential election with all the 184 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 3: Democrat candidates. Now, for those of you watching on YouTube, 185 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: you're about to see it. But if you're not watching 186 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 3: on YouTube, just listen and we'll describe what happens here. 187 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 3: Give a listen and give a watch. 188 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: Raise your handed government, if your government plan would provide 189 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:28,119 Speaker 2: coverage for undocumented immigrants. 190 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: That's everybody center everyday for those of. 191 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,479 Speaker 3: You all just listening, listening on radio or listening on podcasts. 192 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 3: Every single Democrat candidate, every one of them, raise their hand. 193 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 3: Poor Joe Biden, he looks around, he's a little sort 194 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 3: of scared, and he's the last one whose hands shakily 195 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 3: goes up when he realizes, uh oh, my party is 196 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,199 Speaker 3: now all crazy people. This is what we have to say. 197 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 3: So just I promise you, if you turn on the TV, 198 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 3: you're going to see Democrats lying to you saying we 199 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 3: don't want health care free illegals. All of them. There 200 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: was not a single candidate for president who disagreed. That 201 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,720 Speaker 3: is the position of the party across the board. But 202 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 3: here's argument number three. If they didn't want free health 203 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 3: care for illegals, why are they shutting down the government 204 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 3: that they say right now? Well, existing law prohibits providing 205 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 3: health care to illegals, and they're deliberately lying to you. 206 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 3: If that's true, why would they want to repeal the 207 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 3: language from the Reconciliation bill that blocked illegals from getting 208 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: the benefits. The reason they're going all in, the reason 209 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: they're willing to shut the entire federal government down, is 210 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: they've made the decision that their party is all about 211 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: open borders and free stuff for everyone, especially illegals. I 212 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 3: don't understand why. I genuinely don't understand why today's Democrats 213 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: have decided they care more about helping illegal immigrants in 214 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,239 Speaker 3: this country and in some instances, violent criminals and gangbangers, 215 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: then they do American taxpayers. Then they do American citizens 216 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 3: who go and work hard, provide for their family, pay taxes. 217 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 3: And apparently they do all of that in order to 218 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 3: give free health care to illegals. And by the way, 219 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 3: remember this also, you know, because they admit it, both 220 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:27,319 Speaker 3: California and New York provide free health care to illegals. 221 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom campaigned on this. He was very proud of 222 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 3: saying We're going to give free health care to illegals. 223 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 3: And here's one of the games that Senate Democrats are 224 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: playing is California says it pays for the health care 225 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 3: for illegals with state funds, but money is fungible, and 226 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: so the federal government is flowing money into California, they 227 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 3: use it, they fill one bucket with it, and they 228 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: use state money for the illegals. But it all goes 229 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 3: to the same effect. That is why the Democrats are 230 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 3: willing to force a government shutdown, and they have forced 231 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 3: to government shut down because the eligibility requirements of the 232 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,560 Speaker 3: One Big Beautiful Bill have real teeth to them, and 233 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: the Democrats are panicking about it. If they had no teeth, 234 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: if this wasn't happening, why would they throw this gigantic fight. 235 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 3: It makes no sense. And the Democrats know this. 236 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they certainly do as well. 237 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 2: And this goes back to why I think it's shocking 238 00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: Democrats are still digging in on this shutdown center, and 239 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: that is because the American people are not behind this. 240 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: They don't support it. 241 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: Even almost fifty percent of Democrats it's upper forties now 242 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 2: of Democrats say they're not in favor of this shutdown. 243 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 2: So this really does go back to what you and 244 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: I were talking about a moment ago. This is all 245 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer's shutting down the US government to try to 246 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: save his own political future. 247 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,480 Speaker 3: Look, that is exactly right. And if you're not inclined 248 00:13:57,520 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 3: to believe me, if you're not inclined to believe Ben, 249 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: take a listen to Chris Cuomo fact checking the Democrat 250 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 3: lies on. 251 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 5: This is not true. 252 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 4: The Republican partisan spending bill that they introduced is not clean. Well, 253 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 4: first of all, let's be clear, it's not a clean bill. 254 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 4: It's a dirty bill. Well, that's all a lie. It's 255 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 4: not a clean continuing resolution. 256 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 5: Listen, I like how keem Jeffries. I think he's got 257 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 5: an amazing future. He's got better fights than this. This 258 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 5: is a clean CR. What does that mean? By the way, 259 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 5: continuing resolution instead of passing a real budget like they should, 260 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 5: this just says, hey, remember the last one, let's just 261 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 5: continue at those levels again, all right. Now. That may 262 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 5: mean that certain people who should get less won't, certain 263 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 5: people who need more won't, But a clean CR means 264 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 5: that this is an extension from the last set of 265 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 5: in this case, Biden's spending levels. Okay, that's what a 266 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 5: clean CR is. This is a clean CR. Wait a minute, 267 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 5: Cuomo disagrees with Jeffries. Jeffries must be right. Don't take 268 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 5: my word, take the word. I'm a nonpartisan committee for 269 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,760 Speaker 5: a responsible federal budget. They say this is about as 270 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 5: clean ACR as you could get. Okay, again, it's a 271 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 5: continuation of a March stopgap measure. 272 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 2: This is literally going and saying we're going to keep 273 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: Joe Biden's budget. Like that's the easiest way I can 274 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: describe this and understand. 275 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 3: That is Chris Cuomo. That is former CNN primetime star. 276 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 3: That is loud, vocal Democrat Chris Cuomo saying, Hakeem Jeffries, 277 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: the Democrat leader in the House, is lying to you 278 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 3: because you know what he is. He's gas lighting. And 279 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: kudos to Chris Cuomo for having the guts to speak 280 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 3: the truth. I wish his old colleagues at CNN could 281 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 3: follow suit. 282 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 2: All right, I want to move to something else, and 283 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: that's really important. The Senate Judiciary is having a big 284 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: hearing and it deals with blue city chaos, democratic run cities. 285 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 2: The report that's out now is pretty cool. Are the 286 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 2: top twenty most crime ridden cities. Eighteen of them are 287 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: controlled by left wing hard court Democrats, and you guys 288 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: are now looking into this, So what does this actually mean. 289 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 3: Well, this week the Judiciary Committee held a hearing on 290 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: out of control crime in Democrat cities, and it really 291 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 3: is horrific the policies. It turns out, when you let 292 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 3: violent criminals go, when you undermine the police, when you 293 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 3: put in place prosecutors who won't prosecute crime, you get 294 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 3: more crime. This summer, the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley's 295 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 3: the chairman, put out a report that showed that the 296 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:40,960 Speaker 3: Biden Department of Justice sent taxpayer funded grants to Soros 297 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 3: backed soft on crime and goos. And in particular, here's 298 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,800 Speaker 3: what the report said. Under the Biden Harris administration, the 299 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 3: Vera Institute was awarded millions of taxpayer dollars to prop 300 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 3: up left wing district attorneys who would then partner with 301 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 3: the Vera Institute to implement Soros backed progressive policies. These 302 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 3: policies included prioritizing violent criminals over victims and declining to 303 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 3: fully prosecute felony charges including assault, kidnapping, rape, and murder. 304 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 3: And here's some of the key findings from the report. 305 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 3: In New York, New York County DA Alvin Bragg partnered 306 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: with the VERA Institute and declined to prosecute certain misdemeanor felonies, 307 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 3: actively working to downgrade felony charges to misdemeanors, and refused 308 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 3: to detain criminals before their trials. Meanwhile, Bragg attempted to 309 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 3: prosecute President Donald Trump for federal campaign finance violations. In 310 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 3: the year twenty twenty five, there were over forty eight 311 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,919 Speaker 3: thousand individuals arrested for misdemeanors in New York County WOW, 312 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 3: but only three thousand of them were detained. Forty eight 313 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: thousand arrested, three thousand detained. In Georgia, Athens, DA Debor 314 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 3: Gonzalez partnered with the vere Institute and pledged to protect 315 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:03,200 Speaker 3: illegal immigrant defendants and release criminals on bonds that do 316 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 3: not require the posting of money. In Wisconsin, Milwaukee DA 317 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,520 Speaker 3: John Chisholm partnered with VERI Institute to implement progressive, soft 318 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 3: on crime policies and reportedly told the Milwaukee Sentinel Journey quote, 319 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 3: is there going to be an individual I divert or 320 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 3: who I put into a treatment program who's going to 321 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 3: go out and kill somebody? You bet? That is the 322 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 3: Soros DA bragging he's going to release criminals who murder people, 323 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: and in twenty twenty, the Milwaukee DA's office released a 324 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 3: criminal twice before he ultimately drove an suv through a 325 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: Christmas parade, killing six and injuring sixty two others. This 326 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 3: pattern is happening over and over and over again. What 327 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 3: is amazing is the Democrats are not learning. They're not saying, gosh, 328 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: maybe we should stop siding with the criminals. Instead, they're 329 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 3: doubling down. 330 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: They're doubling down. And you see these stories that pop up. 331 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 2: And there was one dad that went before Congress to 332 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 2: testify about his daughter and just how many times the 333 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 2: man that killed his daughter, that took his daughter's life 334 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,640 Speaker 2: had been arrested and released. And if you didn't hear that, 335 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: people should go listen to it because I think it's 336 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 2: really important. But we're seeing this happen where criminals are 337 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: being caught and released dozens of times, like dozens of 338 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 2: Time Center and they're just like, yeah, so what they 339 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 2: go out and then they kill somebody, like Okay, maybe 340 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: we should have guess locked that guy up. 341 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: My bad. It's insane. 342 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 3: Well, and here was a portion of the hearing this week, 343 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:43,680 Speaker 3: Give a listen prosecute violet criminals. Innocent victims die right 344 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 3: here in Washington, d C. In twenty twelve, murders in 345 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 3: DC totaled fewer than one hundred. By twenty twenty three, 346 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 3: murders had nearly tripled, two hundred and seventy four lives 347 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 3: taken in a single year. These are the real world 348 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 3: consequences of Democrat crime policies that let murderers go. 349 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 2: And the policy, to be clear center is a simple one. 350 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 2: Das were instructed when they took money basically from Sorus. 351 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: They're bought and paid for by Soros. 352 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 2: And what they were instructed to do was to have 353 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 2: prison reform and bail reform. 354 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: They wanted people out of the prisons. 355 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: They didn't want Peo to go to prisons, they didn't 356 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,119 Speaker 2: want people to be held in prison because of bail, 357 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 2: and so that is part of what they're advocating for here. 358 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 3: It's comprehensive and it's at every stage. It's a left 359 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 3: wing agenda that wants to number one, abolish the police, 360 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 3: wants to defund the police. And by the way, that's 361 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 3: not just empty rhetoric. If you look at jurisdictions across 362 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: the country in Minneapolis, they slashed funding for the police department. 363 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 3: In New York City, the NYPD, they cut over a 364 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: billion dollars from the NYPD's budget. In Austin, Texas, our 365 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 3: home state, one hundred and fifty million dollars cut from 366 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 3: the police department. So that's one way they do it 367 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 3: is they attack the police directly to wanting to e 368 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 3: they abolish or defund the police. But secondly they go 369 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 3: after DA's and George Soros has spent tens of millions 370 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 3: of dollars funding DA campaigns for radicals who've gotten elected 371 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 3: in many major cities across the country. And when they 372 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: get in, they refuse to prosecute violent criminals. They downgrade 373 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 3: felonies to misdemeanors, they abolish cash bail. So they catch 374 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: a murderer, they let them go. They catch a violent criminal, 375 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 3: they let them go. Here's another portion from the hearing. 376 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 3: You know, it's clear from this hearing the Democrat talking 377 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 3: points have come out. Both Senator Padilla and Senator Booker 378 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 3: spent a great deal of time talking about quote red 379 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 3: states as a reason they were talking about red states 380 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 3: because unfortunately, most red states had blue cities and that's 381 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 3: where the crime is. If you want to look at 382 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three the large cities with the most 383 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: homicides per one hundred thousand people, Number one was New Orleans, Louisiana. 384 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 3: Number two was Memphis, Tennessee. Number three was Saint Louis City. 385 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: Number four was Baltimore City. Number five was Washington, DC. 386 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 3: Democrat crime policies kill people. Soros das who let murderers 387 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 3: out of jail kill people. 388 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 2: So when you look at this being exposed the way 389 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: that you guys are doing it, what is going to 390 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 2: be the mechanism that can obviously help stop this from happening? 391 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 2: And how can Congress use that leverage? 392 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 3: Well, there are lots of things we can do. One 393 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 3: is what President Trump has done, which is he sent 394 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 3: the National Guard to Washington, DC. And the result of 395 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 3: that is the crime rates of plummet. The plummeted. The 396 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 3: murder rates have dropped fifty eight percent. Now you would 397 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 3: think rational people, If Democrats were rational people, they'd be celebrating, Wow, 398 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 3: the murder rate has plummeted. That means people are alive 399 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 3: because the National Guard is they're stopping murders, but they're not. 400 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 3: They're furious and I'll tell you. In the wake of 401 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 3: George Floyd dying, the DC City Council passed a soft 402 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 3: on crime package of legislation that lessened the penalty for 403 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 3: violent crime across the board, that tied the police hands 404 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 3: and made it much much harder to prosecute crime. And 405 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 3: the result was crime rose dramatically, carjacking and violent crime 406 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 3: rose dramatically. I've introduced legislation in the Senate called the 407 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 3: Clean DC Act. The Clean DC Act reverses those twenty 408 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: twenty two laws. It reinstates tougher penalties on violent crimes, 409 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 3: and it allows the police to actually go after the 410 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 3: violent criminals. At the hearing, the head of the DC 411 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 3: Police Union testified and he explicitly asked the Senate to 412 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 3: pass my legislation. Pass the Clean DC Act. Give a 413 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: listen to the head of the DC Police Officers Union. 414 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 6: That is why we also support the Clean DC Act. 415 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 6: It begins the process of undoing harmful legislation, restoring balance, 416 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 6: and rebuilding MPD strength. This is not just a DC issue. 417 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 6: Other cities that embrace the same policies are now facing 418 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 6: the same consequences. The lesson is clear. When leaders attack 419 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,440 Speaker 6: police communities suffer when lawmakers strip away tools and protect actions, 420 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 6: criminals thrive. If this is not corrected, the crisis will 421 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 6: deepen here and nationwide. Urge Congress to act, support the 422 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 6: Clean DC Act, roll backfield legislation, and work with law 423 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 6: enforcement instead of against US officers want nothing more than 424 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 6: to protect their communities, but they cannot do it alone. Again, 425 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 6: I thank you for the opportunity to testify, and I 426 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:22,679 Speaker 6: welcome any questions the committee may have. 427 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 5: Thank you. 428 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 2: One of the things Centaer I like about where you 429 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: guys are going with this is that this is not 430 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 2: going to be a short term thing. This is actual 431 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 2: reform you are advocating for to make sure that these 432 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,719 Speaker 2: cities don't go back to these liberal policies where innocent 433 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 2: people are dying every single day. 434 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 3: Now, that's exactly right. And the first obligation, the first 435 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 3: obligation the president, the commander in chief has is to 436 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 3: protect this nation, to keep us safe. The first obligation 437 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 3: really every elected official should put front and center is 438 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 3: protecting the health and safety of the men and women 439 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 3: you're elected to represent. And you know it is striking 440 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,720 Speaker 3: just we talked about a minute ago with the shutdown 441 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 3: where the Democrats are engaged in gaslighting. You heard in 442 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 3: the segment I was talking about what both Corey Booker 443 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 3: and Alex Padilla said in that hearing where they both 444 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 3: had talking points almost exactly the same, where they said, well, 445 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: you know, there are bad crime stats in a bunch 446 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 3: of red states, and they went through a bunch of 447 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 3: red states, and then they're right, there are red states 448 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 3: where the crime stats are problematic. My response, which they 449 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 3: have no refutation to, is that is entirely driven by 450 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 3: the blue cities and those red states that are governed 451 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 3: by left wing Democrat mayors and left wing Democrat DA's 452 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 3: who refuse to prosecute violent crime. And so yes, look, Memphis, 453 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: Tennessee was number two on the list. Now Tennessee is 454 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 3: a red state. But you know, God help you if 455 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: you live in Memphis when you have local officials who 456 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 3: will not prosecute the bad guys. And that that's true 457 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 3: in Baltimore, that's true in New Orleans, that's true in Washington, DC. 458 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: And rather than address it and admit it and fix it, 459 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 3: the Democrats are trying to distract people by engaging in 460 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:04,560 Speaker 3: dishonest rhetoric. 461 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 2: The left wing crimes cistics center are brutal BLM protests. 462 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 2: For example, twenty twenty, there are over ten thousand demonstrations 463 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,639 Speaker 2: and cause one to two billion and ensured property damage. 464 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 2: According to Axios, this is the most expensive civil disorder 465 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: in US history. There were also nineteen Americans into the 466 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 2: conservative numbers, who died directly caused by the demonstrations, And 467 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: that's another data point that the left in the media 468 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 2: does not want to talk about. But if you look 469 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: at this and you see what the Democrats have done 470 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 2: to our cities, and the fact that this has all 471 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 2: been i think bought and paid for, funneled money going 472 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,439 Speaker 2: into these groups that are advocating for this type of 473 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,200 Speaker 2: organized violence. That's the other thing that scares the hell 474 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 2: out of me. 475 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 3: Well, and I want to draw a linkage between each 476 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 3: of the stories we're talking about today, which is that 477 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 3: we see left wing policies that undermine law enforcement, that 478 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 3: seek to abolish or defund the police, that put Soros 479 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: prosecutors in office, that release violent criminals, and you see 480 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 3: the result being more and more violent crime. You then 481 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 3: see democrats engaging rhetoric to obfuscate, to hide that, to 482 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: pretend it's not happening. But you also see the left 483 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,360 Speaker 3: engaging in increasingly angry rhetoric demonizing their opponents. And if 484 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 3: you look at ideologically motivated crime, the vast majority of 485 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 3: it violence that is ideologically motivated, the overwhelming majority is 486 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 3: on the left. As you mentioned, the BLM riots all 487 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 3: across the country, American cities burned all across the country, 488 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 3: not just that. You look at the anti Semitic, anti 489 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,640 Speaker 3: Israel campus protests. Those were leftists, those were anarchists, those 490 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:58,560 Speaker 3: were Jihadis, those were communists. All across the country. Over 491 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 3: two thousand and three hundered anti Semitic incidents reported on campuses, 492 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 3: which is, by the way, the highest ever recorded. That 493 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 3: was in twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five. The 494 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 3: La riots this year twenty twenty five, seventeen people injured, 495 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,479 Speaker 3: a state of emergency in La County. The city reports 496 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 3: nineteen point seven million cost as of mid June. 497 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 1: Wow. 498 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 3: Of course, President Trump the target of two assassination attempts. Tragically, 499 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 3: our friend Charlie Kirk successfully murdered in a horrific assassination. 500 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 3: This pattern that the murderer who flew from California to 501 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 3: Maryland and to murdered Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Thankfully he was 502 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: arrested by the police before he could carry out that 503 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 3: heinous act. And by the way, you go back to 504 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: twenty seventeen when a gunman came to Washington, d C. 505 00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 3: Looking for elected Republicans to murder, went to the congressional 506 00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 3: baseball practice and opened fire, hitting multiple elected Republicans, nearly 507 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 3: killing Steve Scalise. Had the bullet been an inch one 508 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 3: side of the other, Steve, a good friend, would have 509 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 3: been killed that day. Instead, he was injured badly. Thankfully 510 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 3: he survived. This pattern is happening over and over and 511 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 3: over again, and there's a direct connection between the demonization. 512 00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 3: Look when Charlie Kirk was murdered, far too many on 513 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 3: the left celebrated, cheered it on. When Luigi the nutcase 514 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 3: murdered the CEO of health insurance company, supposedly respected members 515 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 3: of the media celebrated leftister getting his face tattooed on them. 516 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 3: They celebrate violence, and this week we saw two more 517 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 3: instances happen. We saw number one Immigration and Customs enforcement 518 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 3: agents targeted in two separate car attacks during enforcement actions 519 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:51,120 Speaker 3: in Chicago this past week. Two different car attacks. It 520 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 3: turns out that when Democrats demonize Ice, when they call 521 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 3: him Nazis, as the Democrats have done over and over 522 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 3: and over again. Our last podcast played a whole clip 523 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 3: of Democrats calling Ice and law enforcement Nazis and gestapos. 524 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 3: That turnout, when you use that kind of language, there 525 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,960 Speaker 3: are lunatics who listen to it and move to violence. 526 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 3: As you know, I was on the ground in Dallas, 527 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,400 Speaker 3: uh and and was on site within minutes of the 528 00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: sniper attack at the ICE facility in Dallas by a 529 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: deranged leftist who wrote who wrote wrote his his left 530 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:32,120 Speaker 3: wing agenda on the shellcasings, emulating what Charlie Kirk's murder 531 00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,959 Speaker 3: had done. This pattern is happening over and over and 532 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 3: over again, and I got to say it's Bet Bennett's disturbing. 533 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:46,880 Speaker 3: I don't see I don't see many Democrats modulating their rhetoric. 534 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 3: Gavin Niterson just this week called Steve Miller, the deputy 535 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 3: White House Chief of Staff, a fascist, using the same 536 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 3: language that that that motivated, among others, the murderers of 537 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. And they keep doubling and doubling down and 538 00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 3: doubling down, and they know more ICE agents are going 539 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 3: to be targeted. They know more police are going to 540 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: be targeted. And I want to be clear about something 541 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: because some will say, well, gosh, there are crazies on 542 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 3: the right who commit violence, and that's true, but if 543 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 3: you look at ideologically motivated violence, the crazies on the 544 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 3: right who commit violence are usually just mentally deranged people. So, 545 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 3: or to put it a little different, liberals can be 546 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,800 Speaker 3: the victims of violence as well. So Nancy Pelosi's husband 547 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 3: was attacked by a deranged, mentally ill person with a hammer. 548 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 3: Now that was tragic, but I would not describe that 549 00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 3: as ideologically motivated violence. He was simply a victim of 550 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 3: a mentally ill person engaging in an active violence, and 551 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 3: that's horrific. And there's a difference. You and I didn't 552 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 3: celebrate that. Nobody. Violence is never, never, never, right. And 553 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 3: the difference is the left celebrates it far too often, 554 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 3: encourages it on the front end, celebrates it on the 555 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 3: back end where it whereas any principal conservative I know 556 00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 3: it will condemn violence across the board say do not 557 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 3: engage in violence. And compare the difference of the reaction 558 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 3: when George Floyd died and you had violent riots and 559 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 3: fires across the country. Compared to when Charlie Kirk was murdered, 560 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 3: and you had candlelight vigils and prayer vigils, and the 561 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 3: violence was from the leftist attacking people praying and holding 562 00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 3: up candles. 563 00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and not only that, you even had Democrats 564 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 2: this week attacking Jeffries talking about those that went to 565 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,600 Speaker 2: the Republican Convention as being like extremists. 566 00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not dialing this. 567 00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 3: Supervillains. Supervillains is what he called the inauguration. 568 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, excuse me, the inauguration. Yeah, he talked about 569 00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 2: the inauguration. He said that there was a super villain convention. 570 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 2: And that is them not downplaying this. That is him 571 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: ratching it up, knowing that we just left Charlie Kirk's 572 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 2: funeral from being at. 573 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: And the hate on the left. It is directed at conservatives, 574 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,920 Speaker 3: it is directed at capitalism, it is directed at American 575 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 3: but it's also viciously antisemitic and on Young Yong Gapour 576 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 3: in Manchester, a a Syrian Assyrian ironically, uh with the 577 00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 3: name wait wait for it, what was the name? What 578 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 3: was the name of this murder? His name is Jahad 579 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 3: al Shami and and he he targeted worshippers at a 580 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 3: synagogue on Young Kapoor Uh. This pattern is happening over 581 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: and over and over again, and it's wrong and we 582 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 3: need to stand against it. 583 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,800 Speaker 1: I am into that.
