Speaker 2: I'm Steve Gurrier. The pulse of the people. We need

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 2: somebody that's going to hear of people's voice, the truth.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: The mainstream won't touch.

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: This guy is by definition of globals.

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: And the stories that matter. Rabs On Ben Burkwobb.

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 3: Read it, Boss Hillel him.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 4: I see him.

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: Live, breaking news right now here in real America's fort filter.

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: These people are domestic terrorists and unapologetics.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: We're here to take a stand for God and country.

12
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: Let's feel goodness. America's Voice Live starts now. Welcome to

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 2: America's Voice Live. I'm Steve Guray.

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: It is Wednesday, September the twenty fourth, in the Year

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: of Our Lord twenty twenty five.

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 2: It is can Today's top choice. Thank you for being here.

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: As always, we appreciate your support. Political violence continues to

18
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: be an issue in America, from the attempted assassination of

19
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: President Trump before the election, to the assassination of Charlie

20
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: Kirk just two weeks ago, and even the continuous attacks

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: on ice agents and law enforcement. I'll bring on a

22
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: member of Congress to discuss that in detail today. Also

23
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 1: the budget DeLine for September thirtieth is right around the corner.

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: The House of Representatives has passed the budget sent to

25
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: the Senate, but of course the Senate stuck as always.

26
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that coming up as.

27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: Well, and then later in the humorous twist of irony,

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: Cornell University student councils are seemingly telling students not to

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: attend university events if they don't belong to a marginalized group.

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: Okay, you can't make this stuff up.

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: All the details that updates coming your way today, but

32
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: first we start with the latest attacks on ICE. Agents

33
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: continue to face threats as they continue to round up

34
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: illegal alien criminals across this country. Earlier today, a shooting

35
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: occurred at an ICE facility in Dallas, Texas that resulted

36
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: in three people being shot. One of those victims has died.

37
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Details on the conditions of the other two victims has

38
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: not yet been released. However, the suspected shooter has reportedly

39
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: dodged myself and picked a gunshot wound. The government identified

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: as twenty nine year old Joshua John, who online has

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: numerous associations with fire left groups, including communist groups. According

42
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: to a preliminary investigation. The suspect open fire from an

43
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: adjacent building at an elevated position. Rounds were found near

44
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 1: the suspect's location containing messages that were anti ICE in nature.

45
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: It's almost becoming predictable. No ICE officers were wounded, and

46
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: it's not clear whether the victims included ICE detainees, but

47
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,919
Speaker 1: likely they were. You see, he was shooting indiscriminately into

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: an ICE van in the sally port of the ICE

49
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: facility in Dallas. One can only surmise what his real

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: intentions were. Senator Ted Cruz had this to say on

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: the scene, and this states, to.

52
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 5: Stop violence is wrong. Politically motivated violence is wrong. It

53
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 5: was two weeks ago today that we saw political assassination

54
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: in Utah that tore the herd out of much of

55
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 5: this country. This is the third shooting in Texas directed

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 5: at ICE or CBP. This must stop. To every politician

57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 5: who is using rhetoric demonizing ICE and demonizing CBP, stop

58
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 5: to every politician demanding that ICE agents be dosed and

59
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 5: calling for people to go after their families. Stop. This

60
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 5: has very real consequences.

61
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: Oh, it does have very real consequences. How bad is it?

62
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Well, ever, since they're shooting in Dallas today all over

63
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: social media.

64
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: Well, no ICE officers were shot.

65
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: So clearly it wasn't an attack on law enforcement. Really, really,

66
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: an iceman gets shot up from an elevated position at

67
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: an ICE facility in Dallas.

68
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: Three people are shot, but was not attack on law enforcement.

69
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: That's what the liberal chattering classes saying all over social

70
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: media right now.

71
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: It's embarrassing and dangerous. You see the Democrats who are.

72
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: Demonizing ICE officials and telling their brainwashed posse to go

73
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: after them and their families don't understand the words they speak.

74
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: They don't understand the concept of consequences. Borders are Tom

75
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: Holman does. He appeared on the Charlie Kirk Show earlier

76
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: today with Andrew Colovet.

77
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: This is what he had to say.

78
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 6: Well, this morning, a long gunmen was targeting an ICE

79
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 6: facility in Dallas, Texas. It's where aliens are processed either

80
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 6: for removed or transferred to a facility. And again it's

81
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 6: a third shooting and that's occurred in Texas against immigration officials.

82
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 6: And we had a shooter show up in a borbitrow

83
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 6: facility an open fire, trying to kill borbitual agents. He

84
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 6: was killed by agents. Then we had a group of

85
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 6: people's show up with weapons at an ICE attetionment facily

86
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 6: to Alberto, Texas and tried to kill agents, and they

87
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 6: did shoot one officer, a local police officer who's also

88
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 6: responding to the scene. And now we have this today

89
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 6: where a lone gunman stood at perch and opened up

90
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 6: on ICE during a transportation transfer, and we know we

91
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 6: have a police two dead and officers are uninjured. And

92
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 6: it later was announced by Cash Bettel that one of

93
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 6: the bullets had anti ICE a slogan on the bullets.

94
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: So this is clearly a targeted attack. Yes, clearly a

95
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: targeted attack. Just like Sanator Cruz said, this must stop.

96
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: Joining now with discuss or Police Captain Swatt, commander and

97
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: current Burn Law Enforcement Director Joshua Scharard, Joshua.

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 2: Thank you for being here.

99
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: Look, we continue to see the same thing and then

100
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: you see this guy identified, So you've.

101
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 2: Got this this whole It becomes too predictable.

102
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Luigi Mangioni, Ryan Rawth, Tyler Robinson, Joshua, John Matthew Crooks,

103
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: James Hot.

104
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 2: Doesn't know who that is.

105
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: That's the guy that shot up the Congressional baseball game.

106
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: It's two predictable. It's not a both sides issue. Josh,

107
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: it's not, and I'm sick of hearing it your thoughts.

108
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're definitely following the playbook here and just building

109
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 7: on the previous shooters experience and their you know, modus operandi,

110
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 7: so to speak, and we're seeing the same thing here.

111
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: You know, we have the riding on the bullets.

112
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 7: We have a similar sniper style attack like we saw,

113
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 7: you know, in the Kirk shooting, with very similar callings

114
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 7: to that shooting as well, so and still similar questions

115
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 7: to be asked, especially with in terms of support, whether

116
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 7: it was inteller information that he may have gotten from

117
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 7: certain political groups or just certain groups in general, or

118
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 7: if it was actually materialistic support. I mean, we're still

119
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 7: waiting on a lot of answers on the heels of

120
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 7: the Charlie Kirk shooting on some of those questions, and

121
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 7: now some of these same questions are being brought up

122
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 7: again on who is involved in this While it may

123
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 7: have just been a loan shooter, I think we can

124
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 7: all agree that they're you know, when we look at

125
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 7: the Kirk shooting and all of the texts and the

126
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 7: discord messages, and the forums and the boards that there

127
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 7: was a lot more going on that involved a lot

128
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 7: more people. And I'm willing to bet that this shooting

129
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 7: is no different and we're going to start seeing once

130
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 7: again a network of individuals that either provided information and

131
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 7: intel support or actually materialistic support to the shooting as well.

132
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, we saw a lot of social media posts before

133
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: and after the assassination of Charlie Kirk that would indicate

134
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: that people had prior knowledge to the shooting. So far

135
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: nobody charged it, and so that two weeks on makes

136
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: me wonder were there other people involved? Is the FBI

137
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: running down leads? They had thousands of them? As you know, Josh,

138
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: where are we in the investigation? Because if there were

139
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: direct connections to Twigs, the roommate, the lover, for example,

140
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: I would expect that person would be in handcuffs already.

141
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 2: They or not your thoughts, you know, when we.

142
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 7: Look at that network of people that may have been

143
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 7: involved and we look at what kind of support. I

144
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:15,119
Speaker 7: just I was doing an interviewer discussion with an FBI

145
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 7: as a former FBI agent who worked in counter terror

146
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 7: in the Intel Center, and they talked about one of

147
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 7: the most difficult things to do is determine the difference

148
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 7: between having information that might have happened, or information that

149
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 7: could have led to or a lead or a possible tip,

150
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,199
Speaker 7: and actually having material and actionable intelligence to know that

151
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 7: this was going to happen, or to have actually assisted

152
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 7: in the procurement of weapons or the provision of supplies

153
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 7: or support transportation. That's where it really delineates on whether

154
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 7: law enforcement is going to be able to place those

155
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 7: handcuffs on other individuals, whether they can prove is that

156
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 7: they provided that materialistic support.

157
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 2: Well, that's pretty clear that.

158
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,599
Speaker 1: Robinson was asking his roommate, his lover Twigs, to go

159
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: pick up the rifle.

160
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: I mean that was discussed in the.

161
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 1: Text message, and then suddenly he changed the structure as

162
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: if to cover his tracks. I don't know, but it

163
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: seems to me if Twigs involved, he should be in

164
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: handcuffs now.

165
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: And that's true.

166
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: If anybody else that can find we'll see where this leads.

167
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: What really has to happen is left wing violence has

168
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: to stop. Josh, I'll give you the last word.

169
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, all we're going to see is an escalation

170
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 7: of violence if we don't find a way to really

171
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 7: get to the root of where this message is coming from,

172
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 7: where these groups are homebrewing these domestic terrorists for lack

173
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 7: of a better term, and just on heels, just a

174
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 7: couple of days after after Trump has declared Antifa domestic

175
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 7: terrorist organization, we find someone that has ties to that

176
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 7: group is now targeting Ice. And if we don't really

177
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 7: be aggressive about handling this and about getting to the

178
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 7: root of this, we're only going to see this violence escalate.

179
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: There you go, Well, I appreciate you bringing here. Thank you.

180
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: We'll talk again soon, Josh, thank you so much.

181
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: Coming up after the break comes with Tim Burcher of

182
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Tennessee will continue the discussion of political violence in America,

183
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: from assassination attacks to successful ones the attacks on ICE.

184
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: Will be right back, all right. We have a problem

185
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: here in America and that problem is political violence.

186
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 2: Political violence.

187
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: From the assassination of the Great Charlie Kirk to the

188
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: multiple attacks on Ice throughout the country, three of them

189
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: being in Texas border state.

190
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 2: It continues to go on.

191
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: But if history has taught us anything, especially in the

192
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: past few years, is that this is not an issue

193
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: for Republicans. Time after time we have seen the far

194
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: left work themselves up to the point to where they

195
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: are willing to take a life just because they don't

196
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: agree with the policy or someone else's beliefs.

197
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: This assassination culture has got to stop. It does.

198
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: We have to get to a point in this country

199
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: where this attack on Donald Trump, on Charlie Kirk and

200
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: others comes to an end.

201
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: We saw it again today.

202
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,559
Speaker 1: Look, we've got a guy perched, We've got a guy

203
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: perched on a rooftop in Dallas, Texas, shooting into an

204
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 1: ice van in a Sallyport, indiscriminately shoots three people, kills one.

205
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 1: And you've got people on the internet, all over social

206
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: media saying, well, that wasn't an attack on law enforcement.

207
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 2: Well, of course it was.

208
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: It's an ice van at an ice facility, parked at

209
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: a sally Port. You're in an elevated position, you can't

210
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: see who's in that van. That's clearly an attack on

211
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: law enforcement.

212
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 2: They call it.

213
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: Anything else is dishonest, dangerous. We shouldn't have to deal

214
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:47,599
Speaker 1: with that sort of thing, and that's a fact. We

215
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: should not have to deal with that sort of thing

216
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 1: in this country. The identified shooter now is Joshua John,

217
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old, associated with several left wing organizations.

218
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: So he was several left wing organizations, including communist organizations

219
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: and other radical leftist postings online.

220
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 2: I don't have to stop and think about this. I

221
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: know what this is.

222
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: This is a terrible situation in America. Join me out,

223
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: Tim Burchet, Congressman from Tennessee, Conswan.

224
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,719
Speaker 2: Thank you for being here.

225
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 3: Hey, thank you for having me on. It's a very

226
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 3: important issue.

227
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: It is a very important issue.

228
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: Two weeks to the day that Charlie Kirk was gunned

229
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: down in cold blood in Utah. Right, yes, sure we are,

230
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: with another shooting, another attack. Steve Scalise nearly killed at

231
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: a baseball game by a radical leftist. Donald Trump nearly

232
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: gunned down in Butler, Pennsylvania. This is not a both

233
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: sides issue, Congressman. I'm tired of that being repeated. Let's

234
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: talk about it. What are your thoughts.

235
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 8: They always want us to play nice when we're in

236
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 8: the majority. You know, they always talk compromise when we're

237
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 8: in the majority. When Nancy Pelosi was running Washington d C.

238
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 8: They never talked compromise. Look, this is rad cool people

239
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 8: that have been radicalized. I think we better start looking

240
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 8: at the source. You know, we're all puffed up right now,

241
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 8: all the conservatives. We've kicked a few college professors out

242
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 8: and a few you know, idiots that get on the internet.

243
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 8: What we better start looking at is the people that

244
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 8: are doing the hiring of these folks in these colleges

245
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 8: and universities. I live in Tennessee. We're in the South.

246
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: There's a weed down here called kudzu.

247
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: You know.

248
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 8: They bring in all these experts and they always do

249
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 8: the same thing. They cut it down and then the

250
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 8: goat's eat it. Heck, I don't know, they might nape

251
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 8: on it, but you know what it does, It comes

252
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 8: back up in five different spots after that.

253
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what's going to happen right now.

254
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 8: You know, the left is watching our reactions to this

255
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 8: and how we're reacting. We're going after the obvious, the offenses,

256
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 8: the surface cancer, if you will, but we better start

257
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 8: getting at the source and the sources. These embedded people

258
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 8: in are so called think tanks in our places of

259
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 8: so called higher learning that we've got going on down here,

260
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 8: and these state legislators better get engaged and they better

261
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 8: start cutting the funding off and getting rid of these

262
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 8: these far leftists.

263
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 3: And look their agenda is one thing.

264
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 8: You got an agenda in Congress, and that's to spit

265
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 8: us into oblivion, spend everything we got, run us out

266
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 8: of business, and then we.

267
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: Will be forced into a Marxist type situation.

268
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 8: You'll see the you know, you see it in history

269
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 8: with their their dollar or whatever their choice of currency

270
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 8: is devalued, and then people riot, and then they overthrow,

271
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 8: and then they say we're going to spread it out

272
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 8: even for you know, and it works.

273
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: It worked, like Margaret Thatcher said, it worked for a

274
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 3: little while.

275
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 8: To you run out of people, stop stealing the money

276
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 8: from and then we'll be we'll be enslaved or this bunch,

277
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 8: we better wake up.

278
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 3: This is not some archie.

279
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 2: It's time to wake up.

280
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: But but how do you do that, Congressman, when you've

281
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: got almost one hundred members of Congress Democrats that would

282
00:14:55,120 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: not vote for decency for Charlie Kirk in the House,

283
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: how do you have.

284
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: A conversation with those people.

285
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 1: Look, when when the former Speaker of the House of

286
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota was murdered in her home, every single Republican voted

287
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: for a resolution saying that was wrong. Every single Republican

288
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: vote for Charlie Kirk but not Democrats.

289
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: No, No, it's a both sides issue. No it's not.

290
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 8: No, it's not we We got to get the glove type,

291
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 8: the gloves off and start fighting. We got to get

292
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 8: some guts. We still have members you know, that are

293
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 8: gonna want to let's just make friends. Look, they were

294
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 8: not so far apart, you know. Yes, we are at

295
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 8: the core of this is just an evil hatred of

296
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 8: this country and everything it stands for. And I would

297
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 8: dare say that that they would overthrow us just like

298
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 8: that and we would be out, because that is ultimately

299
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 8: their goal. I can't say it in the way. We

300
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 8: got too many gutless Republicans that won't stand up and

301
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 8: fight them either. They're just kind of wringing their hands

302
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 8: hoping this fight's never coming to the floor. It's it's

303
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 8: the I can't tell you how many times I've been

304
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 8: talked to by someone in leadership or somewhere telling me, hey, man,

305
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 8: you can't be saying that stuff on these shows.

306
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 3: You can't say this stuff.

307
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 8: And I said, well, it's the truth, right and they say, well, yes,

308
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 8: it's the truth, which we just don't like you saying it. Look,

309
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 8: we have got we have got to clean house, Washington,

310
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 8: d C. People, it's like a trash can.

311
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: People want to pick and choose.

312
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 8: We need to turn it upside down and put a

313
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 8: garden hose in it. Trump proved that. Donald Trump proved

314
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 8: that you know it and I know it. He won overwhelmingly.

315
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 3: But guess what.

316
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 8: Congress did not win overwhelmingly. Our agenda did not sell

317
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 8: his agenda did America First. That's what the agenda is,

318
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 8: and we better absorb that as a Congress or we

319
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 8: will be looking for jobs next November.

320
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: New jobs.

321
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: I think it's signed to speak up and say we're

322
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: tired of this. Look.

323
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: Look, I couldn't even tell you the number of people

324
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: I've seen and talked to that were non political or

325
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: left of center or or whatever. They might be agnostic politically.

326
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: That saw what happened with people on the left dancing

327
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: on the grave of our friend Charlie Kirk absolutely turned

328
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people off. And do you really think

329
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: that people I'm watching the leftist post on social media

330
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: right now. Oh, that was not an attack on law enforcement.

331
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: No law enforcement people were shot. Let me get this straight.

332
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: An Ice van is shot up at a nice facility

333
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: in Dallas, Texas from a high position by a sniper.

334
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 8: And that's not an attack on law enforcement. What is

335
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 8: wrong with these people? Because and that's their agenda. And

336
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 8: you you better believe the talking heads on the big

337
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,640
Speaker 8: liberal stations are going to be spouting that out. They'll

338
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 8: be repeating that. You can just put it on the

339
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 8: split screen boom boom, boom boom, every dad gun want

340
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,080
Speaker 8: and we'll say the exact same thing. And that's exactly

341
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 8: they get their talking points from the DNC and they're

342
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 8: hanging on and hopefully but the problem is we have

343
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 8: to do.

344
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 3: Something with it. We've got the majority. Let's do something

345
00:17:57,920 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 3: with it. Let's take that out for a walk.

346
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 8: That's why I put over twenty of a President Trump's

347
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 8: executive orders in the form of law.

348
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,879
Speaker 3: I guess what, none that that gun. One of them

349
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 3: has been heard in committee. Not one of them.

350
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 8: You'll probably write somebody a strong letter or have a

351
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 8: really vigorous hearing and get some great quotes.

352
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: Embarrassing for the internet. Yeah, it's embarrassing. I know you're

353
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: on a tight schedule here. I appreciate you coming in.

354
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn you loose. You're not late to your

355
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 1: next appointment. I appreciate you taking the time. We have

356
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: a lot more to talk about here, so next time

357
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 1: come on in, we'll talk more.

358
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 3: Thank you, brother, have me on anytime.

359
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: See you really appreciate it. There you have. We're going

360
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 2: to take a break when we come back. The House

361
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 2: of Representatives having passed a budget to fund the government

362
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 2: on their end, will the Senate be able to get

363
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: it done?

364
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably not. We'll talk about it straight ahead. An

365
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: America's Voice Live.

366
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back to America's Voice Live. Glad to

367
00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 2: have you here.

368
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: As we continue, Congress face another budget showdown and shut down,

369
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: possibly as the end of the month deadline looms. Senate

370
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:08,160
Speaker 1: Democrats are digging in, rejecting the Clean Bill, the House

371
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: path that extends funding until Thanksgiving, instead pushing policies like

372
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: medicaid for illegal aliens, adding billions to the thirty seven trillion.

373
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 2: Dollars national debt.

374
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: They would rather force a shutdown than show fiscal restraint.

375
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: The Fed cut rates last week a meager twenty five

376
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: basis points from four and a quarter to four percent,

377
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 1: nowhere near enough to ease the pain from the four

378
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: years of Joe Biden's America Last Economy. Joining now Tommy Ielo,

379
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: Senior director of Government Affairs the National Taxpayers Union, Tommy,

380
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: nice to see you again after we take from here.

381
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

382
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, it seems like we're careating towards a government shutdown.

383
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 9: And as you rightly noted, House Republicans, they passed a

384
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 9: clean cr that takes us for another seven weeks with

385
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 9: the government funded ensures that the government doesn't shut down.

386
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 9: And it seems like Senate Democrats they want to play

387
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 9: hardball with with Medicaid. They want to overturn many of

388
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 9: the really good pro taxpayer provisions into one big, beautiful

389
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 9: bill that you know, protects people that actually need, genuinely

390
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 9: need Medicaid coverage. It really is a mistake on the

391
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 9: Democrats end to try and reverse some of those good things.

392
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, good to know that. So look, it's past the House, right,

393
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 2: it's onto the Senate. Yep.

394
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: But the Democrats don't care. They don't care. And you

395
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 1: know what, if it was the other way, the Republicans

396
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: probably wouldn't help them either. But you know this idea

397
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: that somehow Trump's government shutdown. Look, last twelve times were

398
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: government shutdowns? I remember, not caring? Honestly, is that fair?

399
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't affect most people. It doesn't affect most people.

400
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 9: Yeah, I look at it from this way. No one

401
00:20:55,440 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 9: wins in a government shutdown, right. It means people that bureaucrats,

402
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 9: they're not working, but they're getting paid to work. So

403
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 9: it's very inefficient. From a taxpayer's perspective. It means small

404
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 9: business loans can't get processed. It means fossil fuel energy

405
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 9: projects can't have the permits approved, and that's to this dysfunction.

406
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 9: I think President Trump is exactly right to say, let's

407
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,239
Speaker 9: just fund the government at the current levels to give

408
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,479
Speaker 9: us more time to negotiate. I don't think that's an

409
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 9: unreasonable position. It's really the Democrats that are being the

410
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 9: unreasonable ones, and they want the government to shut down

411
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 9: so they can blame President Trump.

412
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course they do.

413
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: They want to get political points here, But I don't

414
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,959
Speaker 1: think there's any political points to be scored here.

415
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 2: I don't what are you going to win? Oh, the

416
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: government said. People have work to do.

417
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: They have got kids in school and a job to

418
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: go to, and I think to concern themselves with the

419
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: thing unless they work for the government in a non

420
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: critical position. And if it's non critical, maybe we can

421
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: get rid of that position altogether.

422
00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: Just an idea.

423
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: But if they're in a non critical position, Tommy, they're

424
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 1: going to go home for a few days. What happens

425
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: after whatever period of time they come back together, they

426
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: spend more of our taxpayer dollars on stupid things. They

427
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: go back to work, the people get their paychecks, the

428
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: American taxpayer gets abused, and everybody gets their money, my money.

429
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: Where am I wrong? Yeah?

430
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 3: No, you know you're not wrong.

431
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 9: And I would just say the Democrats position here is

432
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 9: really not a very strong one. Right, They're going to

433
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 9: be blamed for the shutdown. It's always the ones that

434
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 9: want to shut down the government that are blamed for it, right, Democrats,

435
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 9: they want to shut down the government if we don't

436
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 9: extend COVID era Obama subsidies that call Obamacare subsidies that

437
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 9: cost four hundred and ten billion dollars. That's a lot

438
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 9: of money. Roll back to the coverage of illegal immigrants

439
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 9: receiving Medicaid coverage. What else, work requirements, twenty hour week

440
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 9: work requirements for Medicaid. They want to roll those back,

441
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 9: all of these things. It's going to cost hundreds of

442
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 9: billions of dollars a year. That is absolutely ridiculous. So

443
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 9: President Trump's He's called those demands a ridiculous and unserious.

444
00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 9: He's one hundred percent right.

445
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: You know.

446
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,640
Speaker 9: I really hope we can find a way to keep

447
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 9: the government open. But at the end of the day,

448
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 9: if Democrats want to be the ones to shut it down,

449
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 9: I think the American people are not going to look

450
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 9: very kindly upon that.

451
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, I don't think so either. I don't

452
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: think so either. Look, playing politics and this is just

453
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 1: it's noise to most people. I mean, it's just noise.

454
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: It is what we'd like to see. We'd like to

455
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: see them, you know, take money out of the budget

456
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: and save us tax dollars. We'd like to see them

457
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: reduce the budget, reduce spending, stop squandering money.

458
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 2: We'd like to see.

459
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: Those ideas implemented so that the amount of tax burden

460
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 1: we pay is lowered, right, I mean, we'd like to

461
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: see those basis points lowered on interest so we can

462
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: get a better loan on a used car or a

463
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: better mortgage race we go in a house. Isn't that

464
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: what people are concerned about? I mean, honestly, no, And

465
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: I think.

466
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 9: The FED is going to line themselves up to continue

467
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,280
Speaker 9: to cut over the course of the next five to

468
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 9: six months. That's a very good thing. It'll make credit cheaper,

469
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 9: it will make it more affordable to buy a house,

470
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 9: refinance your house, get a car loan. All of those

471
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 9: things are really good and that actually impacts people's wallets.

472
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 9: But you know, at the same time you mentioned we

473
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 9: need a rain and spending totally agree. Right, We're running

474
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 9: two trillion dollar annual deficits. That's unsustainable, right we Whether

475
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 9: the Democrats want to play ball to try and reduce

476
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 9: government waste, that's up to them. There's a way to

477
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 9: do it without them, and that's through reconciliation, the same

478
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 9: process we did the One Big Beautiful Bill Act through.

479
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 9: We don't need Democrats for that. We just need Republicans

480
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 9: to step up and say we need to cut spending.

481
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 9: We need to get our budgets in order. They can

482
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 9: do it, and they.

483
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 2: Should do it. Yeah, I agree with that.

484
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 1: Let's shift gears just for one moment because one of

485
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: the problems here, I think, as who's in charge of

486
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: the Democrats, how are you going to get a bill

487
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: through when you've got Hakeem Jeffries over here.

488
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: You've got Chuck Schumer, You've.

489
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: Got Hillary Clinton out there using again incendiary language again

490
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: today about you know, Donald Trump and Republicans being fascist.

491
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: If you have no actual leader of the Democrat Party,

492
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: which appears to be the case, how do you move

493
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: it forward?

494
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, the funny thing is that was reading an article today.

495
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 9: Most of the Senate, most of the people that are

496
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 9: running in Senate primaries for the Senate are saying Chuck

497
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 9: Schumer shouldn't be a majority leader if they take back

498
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 9: the Senate. Right, Chuck Schumer, he's basically a lone man

499
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 9: taking a walk. He doesn't have the full command of

500
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 9: his conference or caucus behind him. I think if this

501
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 9: government shut down drags on and they realize that they're

502
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 9: getting blamed for keeping the government shut down, you're going

503
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 9: to have individual members buck party leadership and actually caucused

504
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 9: with Republicans to try and open the government again. Hopefully

505
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 9: we don't have to shut down the government at all.

506
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 9: But you know, just reading the tea leaves, it really

507
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 9: doesn't seem that the conference really wants to do that.

508
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 9: It's Chuck Schumer trying to hold everybody together. But I

509
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 9: think if this drags on, he's not going to be

510
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 9: very successful regard.

511
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Chuck Shure will be you in charge

512
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: of the Senate Democrats if he continues down this road.

513
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: I don't think Keem Jeffries is going to be in

514
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: charge of the House Democrats.

515
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: Honestly.

516
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: I mean everybody wants, you know, changes right, everybody wants

517
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 1: And when I say everyone, I mean Democrats are not

518
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: impressed with their leadership. I just saw pulling over on

519
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 1: Chicken Noodle News. They don't like them at all. Anyhow,

520
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: I give you the last word.

521
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: No.

522
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 9: I also, I would just add Chuck Schumer is definitely

523
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 9: afraid of a progressive primary opponent in twenty twenty eight

524
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 9: from Alexandria Okazio Cortes. So he needs to try and

525
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 9: take this attack Donald Trump attack Republican stance that is

526
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 9: really going to play well with the party base. That way,

527
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 9: you can keep his seat in twenty twenty eight. But

528
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 9: I'll bet you she primaries him and.

529
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 2: She beats him. Yeah, wouldn't that be something frightening? That

530
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 2: is Tomming.

531
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: I always appreciate you being here, Senior Director of Government

532
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: Affairs National Taxpayers.

535
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: I appreciate that all right.

536
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: When inflation jumps, when you hear the national debta is

537
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: over thirty seven trillion dollars, you ever think maybe now

538
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: would be a good time to buy some gold, whether

558
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 1: All right, after the break, I'll discuss Cornell University student

559
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: councils telling their fellow peers don't attend diversity events if

560
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: you who don't belong to a marginalized group, if you're white,

561
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: you're not welcome.

562
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:31,800
Speaker 2: Details coming up, all right.

563
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: Marginalization is a buzzword of sorts that has been used

564
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: by many college age students who explain why things are

565
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: going bad for them.

566
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm part of a marginalized group.

567
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: Like what the group that doesn't study or the one

568
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: that says out too late, you know, doesn't do your homework?

569
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 2: Which one?

570
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: Now it seems the word is being used as exclusionary,

571
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: as Cornell Business students who did not fit the specific

572
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: mold of marginalized were specifically told don't attend these meetings

573
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: by a student councilors. Their appearance could make those belonging

574
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 1: to the group uncomfortable. You know, if you're a white guy,

575
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: don't show up. Really does not look good when these

576
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: groups actively prohibit others from joining while screaming discrimination, it's

577
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 1: counterintuitive to the point of being absurd. Additionally, these practices

578
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: are an active defiance of the Trump administration's efforts to

579
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: dismantle DEI altogether.

580
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 2: However, these schools don't care. They think they can do

581
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 2: as they want.

582
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: Joman now to discuss his campus orform correspondent Michael Duke, Michael,

583
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: nice to see you, Thank you for being here, thank

584
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 1: you for having me.

585
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 2: All right, so let me see.

586
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: If you're white, you can't attend business school meetings. If

587
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: you're what, if you're a Christian, you can't come. Well,

588
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: what are the boxes that get checked to make you excluded?

589
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 4: Well, earlier you said exclusionary, I'd like to correct you

590
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 4: by saying it's segregated. It's not exclusionary at all. Okay,

591
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 4: it's segregated. And you know what we're seeing out of Cornell.

592
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: We have a student council telling students that if they're

593
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 4: part of a non marginalized group, they're going to have

594
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: negative hiring outcomes. They're threatening their livelihoods, they're threatening their

595
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 4: life after college. And it's on the name of DEI elements.

596
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 4: One of the terms that they used was allyship and action,

597
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 4: something which we've already seen in the Leadership Institute's campus

598
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 4: reform is reported at other colleges and universities across the

599
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 4: nation when they hosted segregated graduation ceremonies for students who

600
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 4: identify as BIPOC or LGBTQ. It's outrageous that we're even

601
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 4: talking about this today. It has no place on college campuses.

602
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that, it has no place in

603
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: It's segregation.

604
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: Didn't We have a whole civil rights movement about all

605
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: of this, and now they want to segregating.

606
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: They desegregate, segregate. I'm so confused. It gives me a headache.

607
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: Help me here.

608
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 4: Well, the bottom line here is just that students right now,

609
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 4: they're being taught that the meritocracy doesn't exist, despite the

610
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 4: fact that President Trumps. Many academics and countless students want

611
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 4: the meritocracy to resume, to be brought back to universities,

612
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 4: for this mantra and dogma of DEI to be reversed.

613
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 4: You know, right now, what we're seeing on campuses is

614
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 4: that students are being told that it's how they look,

615
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 4: their identity or other characteristics or factors about them. That's

616
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 4: what's going to get them hired. Now, If I have

617
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: a hiring manager who's a business student now, but a

618
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: hiring manager in ten years, and they're basing me based

619
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 4: off of those factors as opposed to whether or not

620
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 4: been qualified for a job, that's just outrageous. We're teaching

621
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 4: students the exact wrong things that are going to have

622
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 4: negative outcomes, both now and in the future.

623
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, this doesn't go anywhere good because if you can

624
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: exclude these people.

625
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 2: I look, it's not legal. Let's just jump right to it, Michael.

626
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 1: This is a violation of federal law dating back decades

627
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: as long as than I've been alive.

628
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 2: It's not legal. You can't do that. But then again,

629
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 2: by the same token, I just saw, I just saw.

630
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: State University, a whole mob of people run two guys

631
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: out because they had red hats on go figure, because

632
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: they want to sit there and talk about DEI and the.

633
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 2: Mob rules, and the police escorted them out of there.

634
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: I mean having a conversation about DEI or segregation or

635
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: putting people on the list so they're not allowed to attend.

636
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not getting better, it's getting worse. And again,

637
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: it's not a both sides issue. I mean, we just

638
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: saw Charlie Kurt get assassinated for debating on college campuses,

639
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: where we should be debating every topic under the sun

640
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: and deciding which side we're on. This is insanity. Define Michael, Yeah, we'll.

641
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 4: I'll give you a very good analogy here. We're talking

642
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: about Cornell University. Imagine just for a second, if their

643
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 4: football team said, if you're part of a non marginalized

644
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 4: group or community, you're not going to practice with us,

645
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 4: you're not going to play with us, You're going to

646
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 4: get no playing time. There would be outrage beyond compare

647
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: the fact that we're not seeing it at this left,

648
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 4: just because it's a student government seeing it is just outrageous.

649
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 4: We need a good solution to it, and I'll tell

650
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 4: you what it is. It's the meritocracy. The assessment of

651
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,479
Speaker 4: whether or not you've worked hard, you're gritty, you've had

652
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 4: accomplishments and achievements because of your willingness to work hard

653
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,239
Speaker 4: and do for yourself. Those are the aspects that are

654
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 4: going to propel you in life. It's the whole reason

655
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 4: why I'm sitting in this chair today, not because I'm

656
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 4: white and not because of any other factors. That's what

657
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 4: students need to be taught in the classroom outside of

658
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 4: the classroom as well, because it will have negative effects

659
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: if we continue this dogma dei outside of college and

660
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 4: into the business fields. But moreover than all of this,

661
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 4: the meritocracy just wins. It promotes competition, It promotes students

662
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 4: to do one percent better every day, and by all

663
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 4: means we need more students to have that mentality.

664
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 2: We sure do.

665
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: We need more students to have the mentality of you

666
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: know what, I can defend my position rationally, logically, I

667
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 1: can defend my point of view because I believe in

668
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: these things. Not Oh, I don't want to hear what

669
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: you have to say. You must be silenced because that's

670
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: the mentality it is. They've been taught what to think.

671
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: They have no idea how to think. They just fall

672
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: along like sheep, and and it doesn't matter what color

673
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 1: they are or what sex they are. They've been conditioned

674
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: that you have to follow the dogma here it is, Michael,

675
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: it's got to stop.

676
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: I'll give you the last word.

677
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I completely agree with everything that you've just said,

678
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,560
Speaker 4: DEI is only something that seeks to divide students rather

679
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 4: than bring them together. There's a reason why we call

680
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 4: them college communities, not college sex, not college tribes. Is

681
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 4: another great term, it's college communities. We need students to

682
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 4: bring together everything that they have, because at the end

683
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 4: of the day, a community of a university is exactly

684
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,760
Speaker 4: that students should be able to go to class, study, eat, sleep,

685
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 4: and do everything else on a college campus together, rather

686
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 4: than look at things through an invisible line that the

687
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 4: left is drawn on campuses. It's outrageous that we're even

688
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 4: having to talk about it, But it seems like if

689
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 4: we bring the meritocracy back, which is what President Trump

690
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 4: seems to be doing, and students seem to appreciate and

691
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 4: are thriving on on campuses, the future is going to

692
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:06,839
Speaker 4: be somewhat bright.

693
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I hope you're right, Michael. I hope you're right. Hope,

694
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 2: I hope the future is bright as always. Thank you

695
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: for being here. Nice seeing again. Thank you.

696
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,520

697
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 1: tax returns still unfiled? Did you forget to file an extension? Well,

698
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,560

00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,280
Speaker 1: made in any estimated payments, you can soon be targeted

701

Speaker 4: All right.

722
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: According to reports, nearly sixty people arrested in chaotic protests

723
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: on forty second Street near the United Nations as President

724
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: Trump delivered his speech at the General Assembly. You probably

725
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 1: knew that dozens of demonstrators shouted anti Trump slogans, wave

726
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: signs reading reject Trump and arrest Trump as they block

727
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 1: traffic and typical behavior. Not only that, a climate protest

728
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: was also being held near the UN where protesters marched

729
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: down a nearby street, resulting in the arrest of forty

730
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: seven people. There other protesters, including anti Israel groups that

731
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:56,200
Speaker 1: grew to about one hundred and fifty people on the

732
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: same street. But there was another protest, a peaceful one

733
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: one that's calling for a democratic republic in Iran instead

734
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: of the current regime that feeds off of violence the

735
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: first time since nineteen seventy nine. That's what they're asking for.

736
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: The Iranian people are not happy with the current regime

737
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: and they want change. They just can't get there because

738
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,239
Speaker 1: it's dictatorial. Here me to discuss this as a member

739
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,240
Speaker 1: of the National Council of Resistance of Iran. It's Iran's

740
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: parliament in exile. Doctor Ali Savafi, Doctor, thank you for

741
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,279
Speaker 1: being here. Tell me about it. Pretty good turnout. You

742
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,680
Speaker 1: had a set up right there in front of the

743
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 1: United nations, Iranian flags, people turning out supporting your efforts

744
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 1: to have freedom in Iran for the first time since

745
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine.

746
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 10: How to go, Well, First of all, thank you very

747
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 10: much Steve for having me on the show. Yes, as

748
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,720
Speaker 10: you said, actually this was a major two day event.

749
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 10: At both days yesterday and today, there were thousands of

750
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 10: people out there from forty six different states across America.

751
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 10: And as you said, they came to support a free, democratic,

752
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 10: consticular republic in Iran. Supporters of Mariam radjab who's the

753
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 10: president elect of the NCRI, the main coalition that has

754
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 10: been fighting against this regime for some forty seven years,

755
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 10: and they basically called on the UN to hold the

756
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 10: Ranian regime accountable for countless crimes against Iranian people, including

757
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 10: the massacre of thirty thousand political presiders in nineteen eighty

758
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 10: eight and recent spate of executions under the so called

759
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 10: moderate president Pezeshkian, some eighteen hundred since he took office,

760
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 10: which comes.

761
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 2: To like three and a half one person every three

762
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 2: and a half hours.

763
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 10: So clearly they were very very vocal, very enthusiastic, and

764
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,320
Speaker 10: I think they sent a strong message that the Iranian

765
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 10: people want regime change, although not through foreign invention or

766
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 10: requesting for any kind of financial assistance, but they need

767
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 10: moral and political support from the international community.

768
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: Let me tie this into the recent events here in

769
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: America that have been hard breaking for millions of people,

770
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 1: and that's the assassination of Charlie Kirk obviously, but for

771
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: you and for so many people you know, assassinations and

772
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: executions and violent attacks on your side, they're all too common,

773
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 1: aren't they.

774
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 10: Indeed, speaking of that, my own brother, older brother, who

775
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 10: was an American educated Erspence engineer and ironically a prolific

776
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 10: writer and editor, was executed at the age of twenty nine. Actually,

777
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 10: come September twenty seventh will be the forty fifth anniversary

778
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 10: of his execution. So yes, for all of us Iranians

779
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 10: who has aspired for a democratic, circular government that is

780
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 10: part of the international community and wants to be at

781
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,760
Speaker 10: peace with his neighbors, this has been a very heart ranging,

782
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 10: difficulty struggle, but we have kept it up and we

783
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:53,240
Speaker 10: will continue to do so until freedom comes back to Iran.

784
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 10: As you may know, of course, freedom is not something

785
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 10: that is granted. You must earn it, and of course

786
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 10: the Iranian people have the heavy price. One hundred thousand

787
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 10: of supporters of the opposition have been executed by this

788
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 10: regime over the past forty seven years. But the spirit

789
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 10: of resistance is very strong, and of course within Iran itself,

790
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 10: there are thousands of resistance units who are fighting this

791
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 10: regime every day as we speak, and so we are

792
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 10: quite hopeful and very determined to change the course of

793
00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 10: life in Iran and make i Wan Shuread again.

794
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: The impression for a lot of folks since the American

795
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 1: attack on the nuclear facilities in late June is that

796
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,920
Speaker 1: this regime is more fragile than it's been in all

797
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: the time since nineteen seventy nine. There's an opportunity here

798
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 1: for the Iranian people to be free, potentially.

799
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 2: I'm not sure how you get there.

800
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: I'll give you the last word here, doctor, because I

801
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:50,319
Speaker 1: think a lot of us hope to see a free around.

802
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful country.

803
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: To put it back in the League of civilized nations

804
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: would be a wonderful thing, not just for you, but

805
00:40:58,400 --> 00:40:58,879
Speaker 1: for the world.

806
00:40:58,920 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 2: I'll give you the last word.

807
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 10: Yes, of course, you said that, I think aptly. At

808
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 10: no time during its forty seven year history, the regime

809
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 10: has been so weak and vulnerable, and of course Iran

810
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 10: right now as we speak is like a powder cake

811
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 10: and anything might have spark another nationwide uprising. That is

812
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,560
Speaker 10: what we're working very hard at and we are of

813
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 10: course quite confident of our chances. We will continue to persist,

814
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 10: and of course having the moral support, the political support

815
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 10: of the international community would encourage and embold in and

816
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 10: empower their any people to in a sense carry out

817
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:35,880
Speaker 10: this one last year. To the football analogy, we're like

818
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 10: at the goal line and we just needed a little

819
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 10: bit of a push to go over and the win

820
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 10: victory for our people.

821
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 2: Doctry. I appreciate you being here. We wish you only

822
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: the best.

823
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: I'm glad you had such a successful time over the

824
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: last couple of days in New York to well to

825
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: present your case again to the world. It's time for

826
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: around to be free again, for its people to be free,

827
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: and I appreciate you taking time and being here.

828
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 2: Thank you, sir, Thank you very much. Stiff, thank you

829
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 2: greatly appreciate it.

830
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, can you imagine your country's taken over by

831
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: barbarians forty six years later?

832
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:08,239
Speaker 4: Man?

833
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 2: Tough stuff.

834
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: After the break, We'll episody that reminds us of how

835
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 1: wonderful America is. Plus your answers to Our America's Voice

836
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: question of the day, how can we solve the issue

837
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: of political violence in America.

838
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 2: We'll take a close look after this
