Speaker 1: Welcome to the Truth with Lisa Booth, where we try.
Speaker 2: To get to the heart of what matters for you. Today,
Speaker 2: we're diving into the chaos in Los Angeles with Town
Speaker 2: Hall columnists and retired Army Colonel Kurt Schlichter, and is
Speaker 2: provocative piece titled the La Chaos is an Illusion and
Speaker 2: Trump will not follow for it. Kurt argues that the
Speaker 2: unrest is a staged color revolution designed to intimidate and
Speaker 2: push a narrative that Trump's enforcement of federal law enforcement
Speaker 2: is causing the disorder, not trying to solve it. And
Speaker 2: we'll also unpack who's behind it, the role of the media,
Speaker 2: and why Kurt believes Trump's strength will outmaneuver this calculated chaos.
Speaker 2: Let's get to the truth with Kurt Schlichter. Stay tuned well, Kurt,
Speaker 2: it's great to have you on the show. I appreciate
Speaker 2: you making the time today.
Speaker 3: It's great to be here.
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on the eve of the two
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty eighth anniversary of the decisive military force
Speaker 4: in the United States Arsenal, the United States Army.
Speaker 5: What do you think because he's you.
Speaker 2: Know, Trump's being criticized for having this military parade obviously,
Speaker 2: you know they're all calling him a dictator.
Speaker 5: What do you think about it? What do you make
Speaker 5: of it?
Speaker 4: I think I'm kind of proud that I spent twenty
Speaker 4: seven years in this organization, part of the military that
Speaker 4: was the greatest engine of human freedom in mankind's history.
Speaker 4: And I think it's tacky and small of the haters to,
Speaker 4: you know, try and leverage some short term gain, when
Speaker 4: in fact, we should honor the folks who've sacrificed.
Speaker 3: So much for us.
Speaker 2: Also, isn't it important that our enemies see the might
Speaker 2: of the United States military as well?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: Yes, And that's one great thing about Donald Trump, as
Speaker 4: I'm sure we're going to cover. This guy is the
Speaker 4: best communicator we've had since at least Reagan and if not,
Speaker 4: if not preceding Ronald Reagan. And you know, marching battalions
Speaker 4: of M one tanks down Pennsylvania Avenue is a message
Speaker 4: to the rest of the world that we're not playing anymore,
Speaker 4: that this is a military, not a petri dish of
Speaker 4: bizarre social pathologies like it was under Biden. Pete Hank
Speaker 4: Seth has got us back to our killing roots. I
Speaker 4: love to see him out there doing Pete with the troops,
Speaker 4: including you remember Mungo the super Soldier. I just I mean,
Speaker 4: the the optics are incredible, and I'm so pleased that
Speaker 4: our forces are getting back to what they do best,
Speaker 4: which is deterring our enemies and if necessary, decisively defeating them.
Speaker 2: Well you know better than me, but I think even
Speaker 2: with seeing the Secretary of Defense work out with or
Speaker 2: military men and women like that has to boost morale.
Speaker 3: Yes, with troops, I.
Speaker 2: Would imagine of like, hey, look, I've been one of you.
Speaker 2: I'm with you because I know that there's well, I
Speaker 2: know there's been this like kind of long standing friction
Speaker 2: between like the boots and the.
Speaker 5: Suits in the military.
Speaker 3: Yep.
Speaker 2: And so I think Pete Hegseth sort of represents the
Speaker 2: boot's side of the military that doesn't always get represented
Speaker 2: at the Pentagon.
Speaker 1: Is that right?
Speaker 4: I think that's a I think that's a very good
Speaker 4: way to put it, Lisa. I think that you know,
Speaker 4: sometimes you need a Rumsfeld or a competent version of
Speaker 4: Macnamarason with greeneye, say, someone who knows processes, someone who
Speaker 4: could talk about details, and sometimes you need a guy
Speaker 4: who just kicks. But the problem the number one problem
Speaker 4: in our military was not acquisition. It was not trying
Speaker 4: to come up with strategy. It was not even it
Speaker 4: was not even organization or administration, although those were all problems.
Speaker 4: It was the fact we stopped being a military organization.
Speaker 4: You're not a Rhea's military organization. If some dude in
Speaker 4: address demands you call him mam okay, you're a serious organization.
Speaker 4: If you could take a battalion of guys and have
Speaker 4: them stick bayonets and the guts of the enemy's that's
Speaker 4: the difference. Pete hag Seth's combat Infantry badge, he was
Speaker 4: a major.
Speaker 3: He was out there doing it.
Speaker 4: The troops see it, and the troops see that a
Speaker 4: guy like Donald Trump respects them. I mean, I watch
Speaker 4: him stand in front of the guys in the maroon
Speaker 4: berets yesterday eighteen. They are born corps. These are paratroopers, right,
Speaker 4: I'm just a five jump chump. I just jumped out
Speaker 4: five times. Got my badge. Never did it. These guys
Speaker 4: have twenty thirty fifty jumps each. They are hardcore dudes.
Speaker 4: And they were going crazy for the president. Troops go
Speaker 4: crazy for a great leader.
Speaker 3: And this isn't new. Alexander the Great led his men
Speaker 3: into battle.
Speaker 4: Julius Caesar had the civic crown for being the first
Speaker 4: guy over the wall. I mean, Pete Hegseth is a
Speaker 4: guy who leads by example. Twenty years ago, when I
Speaker 4: was a cavalry squadron commander, I got my forty year
Speaker 4: old booty out there and I ran pt tests with
Speaker 4: my troops, and I remember Sergeant Major just lighten up
Speaker 4: this private probably eighteen or nineteen, going how the hell
Speaker 4: could you let that old man run faster than you?
Speaker 4: But my troops saw me out there doing everything they did,
Speaker 4: although it kicked my tail, I gotta.
Speaker 3: Tell you, and I couldn't even do it. I couldn't
Speaker 3: do it today I'm long retired. I couldn't do it.
Speaker 3: But if you're going to lead, you have to lead.
Speaker 5: That's the key.
Speaker 3: And that's what we're learning again.
Speaker 2: Well, and we're saying that you know leadership right now
Speaker 2: in LA which sort of brings me to that part
Speaker 2: of the discussion of the writing that we're seeing in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles. You wrote a column about it. First of all,
Speaker 2: talk about your back ground that shaped your perspective on
Speaker 2: all this, and then also like why do you think
Speaker 2: this is happening.
Speaker 4: Well, sure, let me give you the background. When I
Speaker 4: got out of off active duty from Desert Storm, I
Speaker 4: went in the California Army National Guard. I did a
Speaker 4: driller tooth. Then I did three weeks on the streets
Speaker 4: during the riots.
Speaker 3: Right. I was in the battown. I was a lieutenant.
Speaker 4: I was in the battalion commander's vehicle going from place
Speaker 4: to place. I saw the whole city on fire. That
Speaker 4: was a kinetic operation. We were out there to use
Speaker 4: We were mobilized federally under the Insurrection Act to use
Speaker 4: force to essentially beat the hell out of the rioters
Speaker 4: and force them to go home, which was easy because
Speaker 4: most of my troops were from South Central. These are
Speaker 4: the guys whose town was being burned down. And I've
Speaker 4: got to tell you, Lisa, not a lot of pity
Speaker 4: for the gangsters, scumbags, junkies and looters. Okay, we shut
Speaker 4: that down Pronta. When I got out of there, I
Speaker 4: was still going.
Speaker 3: To law school.
Speaker 4: I had to interrupt my law school finals to go
Speaker 4: out and do riot duty. I wrote a Law Review article,
Speaker 4: the first published law Review article on military supports to
Speaker 4: civilian operations. So this is why when I hear somebody
Speaker 4: going off about posse coomatadis, I'm like, okay, this is
Speaker 4: an IQ test because he's not going to know what
Speaker 4: he's talking about. I later I did other operations Northridge earthquake.
Speaker 4: Commanded about fourteen hundred thirteen fourteen hundred troops in northern
Speaker 4: San Diego during the fires in two thousand and seven.
Speaker 3: So I've done this stuff.
Speaker 4: I also was deputy commander and sometimes acting commander of
Speaker 4: the brigade that they mobilized.
Speaker 3: Those great National guardsmen. You see, those were my guys
Speaker 3: ten years ago or twelve years ago.
Speaker 4: And I was so happy to see him. You know,
Speaker 4: I still had that colonel's eye, Lisa. So I'm looking
Speaker 4: at him. I'm going, Okay, are they in the right uniform?
Speaker 4: Is there equipped?
Speaker 3: Dees?
Speaker 2: Therall the new Some doesn't think that they're in conditions
Speaker 2: right now are good enough for them? I'm at, oh, no, No,
Speaker 2: they've got.
Speaker 3: A roof and they've got they're sleeping on a floor. Well,
Speaker 3: you know, thank you. You know, General Newsome.
Speaker 4: Uh you know, I spent six months living in the
Speaker 4: desert with a dirt floor and a scorpion for a
Speaker 4: roommate okay, you know for the first forty eight seventy
Speaker 4: two hours. Yeah, you're gonna you're gonna sit on the pavement.
Speaker 4: That's okay, all right, they're infantry men.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 4: It's not a bunch the ssri ritten Chardonay's swilling wine
Speaker 4: women who make up the key components of California's Democrat Party.
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, this isn't the French laundry, right.
Speaker 3: Exactly, all right.
Speaker 4: And and you know, I know the commander of the brigade,
Speaker 4: now he worked for me. Right right now, he is
Speaker 4: telling his S four that's the Logistics Operation Operations officer.
Speaker 4: I want cots in there. I want hot coffee and
Speaker 4: silver bullets. I want you know, I want hot food.
Speaker 4: Make it happen, Major, and that majors gonna do it.
Speaker 4: That's what we do. So this idiocy about all the
Speaker 4: poor soldiers, I'm the soldier's friend, our friend.
Speaker 3: Good God. And remember if they're not prepared.
Speaker 4: Who's the commander of chief of the California Army National
Speaker 4: Guard before it's federalized.
Speaker 3: It's it's Gavin Newsome.
Speaker 4: Now I happen to know the leadership of the Cowguard.
Speaker 4: They're taking care of their soldiers and they're doing the job.
Speaker 4: And I want to emphasize they are not political. The
Speaker 4: ries and I'm talking about this stuff is because I'm retired.
Speaker 4: They aren't giving their opinions. They're following the orders of
Speaker 4: their chain of command because they're pros.
Speaker 3: And you can see it. You can see it with
Speaker 3: the soldiers.
Speaker 4: Standing there, completely professional, handling their weapons right, looking like soldiers,
Speaker 4: even as that horrible monster maxid Waters sits and berates them.
Speaker 3: And they're and they're not you know, they're just not reacting.
Speaker 4: I'm so proud of them, and we should all be
Speaker 4: so proud of these great troops.
Speaker 1: We've got to take a quick commercial break.
Speaker 5: More with Kurt on the other side.
Speaker 2: Why won't Newsom step by? Why are Democrats doubling down
Speaker 2: on this? And you know, I mean, obviously he's trying
Speaker 2: to be like the face of the Democrat resistance against
Speaker 2: Trump with all of this, So why why is he
Speaker 2: letting his city burn?
Speaker 4: Well, because we'll keep in mind, the rioters are the
Speaker 4: militarized wing of the Democrat Party. And when I say that,
Speaker 4: you know, think about it. How does the goal of
Speaker 4: the rioters differ from the goal of the Democrat Party. Yeah,
Speaker 4: Karen pass out there saying, well, you know, you know
Speaker 4: you we can't ye, the only way to stop the
Speaker 4: violence is to.
Speaker 3: Give in and uh.
Speaker 4: To to them, essentially, don't keep your campaign promises. So
Speaker 4: now we don't have a democracy. Of course, you know,
Speaker 4: she spent a lot of time in Cuba. She's literally
Speaker 4: a communist, so she doesn't like democracy.
Speaker 3: But just go with me.
Speaker 4: How do we have a democracy if we have one
Speaker 4: major party suggesting that political change must follow from acts
Speaker 4: of violence and intimidation.
Speaker 3: They want the same thing. Now, they're not exactly now.
Speaker 4: While the rioters are the cats paws of the Democrats,
Speaker 4: they're kind of you know, they can be dangerous too,
Speaker 4: and they're not fully aligned. So sometimes you have trouble
Speaker 4: because they get out of control.
Speaker 3: And what happened is true.
Speaker 4: Trump mobilizes the military, shows strength, but has the military
Speaker 4: secure federal sites. They're just doing site protection. The folks
Speaker 4: who are out there confronting rioters are Gavin Newsome and
Speaker 4: Karen Bass's people. They're the LA PD, LA Sheriff's Office,
Speaker 4: the California Highway Patrol, and they look completely inept. So
Speaker 4: what happens is it's not working the information operation. Remember
Speaker 4: it's not kinetic like in the LA riots, where you
Speaker 4: were using violence and power to obtain a result.
Speaker 3: What they're doing is they're.
Speaker 4: Having violence to send a message to the American people,
Speaker 4: which says you must submit to us. Donald Trump, like
Speaker 4: I said, the best communicator ever sees that sends his
Speaker 4: own message. No, I'm sending the military in, I'm not
Speaker 4: backing down and wins the information fight. Gavin Newsom looks.
Speaker 3: Like do you think that?
Speaker 5: But do you think that will work?
Speaker 2: I mean, there's got to be some people, particularly in California,
Speaker 2: they're like, oh, man, if only Trump would, you know,
Speaker 2: stop the deportations and this madness would stop. So I mean, like,
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know who will prevail in that messaging.
Speaker 3: Ward.
Speaker 4: Well, look there, look there are a lot of leftist
Speaker 4: people in California, obviously, but a lot of Californians are
Speaker 4: getting tired of the continuous failure from Gavin Newsom, everything
Speaker 4: from a high speed rail to nowhere to fires. You know,
Speaker 4: they've issued twenty four permits in five months to rebuild.
Speaker 3: Out of seventy seventy five.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, congratulate now, I don't care about say
Speaker 4: something like, oh, we're moving really quickly and then help me.
Speaker 4: You know, my five is this, dude, I didn't vote
Speaker 4: for them. I don't live in the city of La Okay.
Speaker 4: I live down by the beach, and I'm surrounded by
Speaker 4: like these liberal wine women, you know on the signs
Speaker 4: that say hey, it has no home here.
Speaker 3: You think any of them are going to let their
Speaker 3: cops tolerate this nonsense? No, no, that doesn't happen here. Now.
Speaker 4: The people who vote for this don't don't feel the uh,
Speaker 4: they don't feel the consequences of it. But you know,
Speaker 4: Gavin News, it's just a complete disaster. And I think
Speaker 4: on a national level, you know, the regime media is
Speaker 4: trying to help by sending a message, Oh, there's trying
Speaker 4: to chaos. No, no, no, there's no chaos. Are very little.
Speaker 4: It's downtown where there are a few hipsters and a
Speaker 4: bunch of homeless people and the court buildings, so you
Speaker 4: have to go down there as a lawyer.
Speaker 3: That's where it's happening. A few outside tais.
Speaker 4: I haven't seen a single disruption here in La Most
Speaker 4: people haven't. Ninety nine percent of us will not see
Speaker 4: any It's all an information on operation designed to show hey,
Speaker 4: Trump's causing chaos. And Trump simply stands up and goes, now,
Speaker 4: I'm going to stand against the chaos. Your move, Gavin,
Speaker 4: And you know he's running his hand through his perfectly
Speaker 4: quaffed hair, going, what the hell do I do?
Speaker 3: I guess I'll tweet more.
Speaker 2: But how organized are these I mean, do you think
Speaker 2: it's being potentially.
Speaker 3: Funded or yes?
Speaker 2: Or what do you think is behind to sort of
Speaker 2: the coronation aspect of all this.
Speaker 4: Look, there's a network of these leftist activists who fund
Speaker 4: these This is why these things pop up all over
Speaker 4: the country.
Speaker 3: So we see it again and again. They always pop up.
Speaker 4: They always have the same tactics, techniques, procedures. They have
Speaker 4: a built in logistics system, built in administrative system, and
Speaker 4: a built in funding system, and.
Speaker 3: They do it all over the place. But here's the difference,
Speaker 3: and this is great.
Speaker 4: Right for twenty years overseas during the War on Terror, Afghanistan, Iraq, elsewhere,
Speaker 4: we spend our time learning how to map enemy networks,
Speaker 4: right funders, killers, administrators. We learned how to figure that out.
Speaker 4: We've got computer programs to do it. Why do you
Speaker 4: think palunteer stock is going through the roof.
Speaker 3: We know how to do it.
Speaker 4: We now have the Department of Justice right focused back
Speaker 4: on protecting American people instead of hassling moms for going
Speaker 4: to the school board and telling transsexuals, maybe you should
Speaker 4: leave my kids alone.
Speaker 3: These guys have.
Speaker 4: Had had to expose themselves to do all this stuff
Speaker 4: here in Los Angeles. Now the spotlights on them. Now
Speaker 4: we're going to see the FBI focus on them. I
Speaker 4: think we're going to see some major funders get busted for,
Speaker 4: among earthings, conspiracy to interfere with federal law enforcement across
Speaker 4: state lines, or commit crimes across state lines.
Speaker 3: I think you're going to see that.
Speaker 4: And I think the way it's played out is very smart.
Speaker 4: Trump has not used the military forces in such a
Speaker 4: way as to get an overreaction, which is a classic
Speaker 4: way for leftists to win the information battle.
Speaker 3: He's left it all to the.
Speaker 4: LAPD, and he's arresting actual criminals. We've got a great
Speaker 4: public relations machine going where, you know, they arrest these
Speaker 4: guys and suddenly you see, okay, this is you know,
Speaker 4: Joe Gonzalez. He has been arrested for ludacs with a
Speaker 4: child welfare fraud, carrying a gun. We're going to port him.
Speaker 4: And normal people look at and go.
Speaker 3: Oh, oh good.
Speaker 4: They put the guy who threw bricks at the ICE
Speaker 4: officers on the most wanted list, part of an information
Speaker 4: war Lisa. Now, normal people, you know who watched you know,
Speaker 4: FBI on the you know, one of the fifty FBI
Speaker 4: shows on CBS every week, look at that and go oh,
Speaker 4: he must be a bad guy. In fact, he is
Speaker 4: a bad guy. But we're reinforcing the message that these
Speaker 4: are not good guys. They're not innocent protesters trying to
Speaker 4: make their voices heard. There's scumbag criminals. And they help
Speaker 4: us with all the with all the waving the flags
Speaker 4: of their homelands that they love so much they'd never
Speaker 4: go back except kicking and screaming. These the Democrats have
Speaker 4: really screwed up because they've come up against a master
Speaker 4: communicator who has surrounded themselves himself by people who know
Speaker 4: how to play the information warfare game. And they are
Speaker 4: losing once again. They are on the twenty side of
Speaker 4: an eighty twenty issue and I'm loving it.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, there's this argument after the first administry
Speaker 2: or his first term, during twenty twenty and you know
Speaker 2: the George Floyd riots, that he should have sent the
Speaker 2: National Guarden, that he should have been more aggressive in
Speaker 2: stopping you know, all the chaos that we were seeing.
Speaker 2: I guess you know what's the better strategy, like stopping
Speaker 2: it or just letting these cities burn, because that's what
Speaker 2: they voted for.
Speaker 4: I think you have to I think he's very smart
Speaker 4: by refusing to take on the responsibility of the local governments.
Speaker 4: The local governments, like I said, are at least unofficially
Speaker 4: in cahoots with the rioters. Right, he watched a burn
Speaker 4: down Minneapolis. The mayor of Minneapolis, the governor of Minneapolis
Speaker 4: all agreed with them. There is not a single political
Speaker 4: policy that Tim Waltz and the rioters who burned down
Speaker 4: those police stations disagreed on. So what Trump does is say,
Speaker 4: we're going to do federal things, so we're going to
Speaker 4: use those tools. But if you're going to let violence
Speaker 4: happen on your streets, that's your problem. You know, Gavin
Speaker 4: Newsom still has about fifteen thousand soldiers he can activate
Speaker 4: out of the California National Guard. I know, I was
Speaker 4: director of personnel for the California Army guard for a
Speaker 4: while before I retired. Okay, he could bring those up
Speaker 4: on state active duty under his command if he wanted.
Speaker 4: He just isn't sure he wants right now.
Speaker 2: I mean, you would think that Democrats would understand that
Speaker 2: most Americans probably won't take kindly to the visual of
Speaker 2: foreigners in our country lighting things on fire and then
Speaker 2: waving their home flag.
Speaker 5: Well for their own country.
Speaker 2: You would think that, you know, that would be considered
Speaker 2: bad optics.
Speaker 4: Well, you would think, But remember, Lisa, remember last time
Speaker 4: you hung out with Arena and I and some of
Speaker 4: our friends looked at you, see a leftists. We don't
Speaker 4: hang out with leftists. They don't hang out with us.
Speaker 4: They don't know anything about us or our mindset. They're
Speaker 4: only talking to each other. They're watching MSNBC. They are
Speaker 4: literally in a bubble where they can convince themselves that,
Speaker 4: you know, third world invaders rating waving the banners of
Speaker 4: their garbage homelands are going to inspire normal Americans as
Speaker 4: they set fire to.
Speaker 3: Things and and rob Apple stores.
Speaker 5: They're nuts.
Speaker 3: They are completely disconnected from normal human activity. Okay, they
Speaker 3: don't know anything about their people. I loved it.
Speaker 4: I was watching I was reading a tweet about Larry Sabato,
Speaker 4: So I can't believe Trump is forcing all these soldiers
Speaker 4: to cheer for them and Fort Benning or Fort Bragg.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, do you know anybody who's ever been
Speaker 3: in the military, Larry, do you know.
Speaker 4: Anything besides your your buddies on campus, your buddies in
Speaker 4: the green room at m's NBC. They literally don't know. Now,
Speaker 4: there's two guys out there who are smart. Bettererman came
Speaker 4: out there, said or Federman and said, hey, you know,
Speaker 4: we can't do you know, we can't support burning and looting.
Speaker 3: Very very smart.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: And I guest hosted for Hugh hew and Oes radio
Speaker 3: show yesterday.
Speaker 4: I had Roe Kahanna or Kana who is northern California,
Speaker 4: and he's.
Speaker 5: Like, relatively normal.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean super left. But he said, no, totally,
Speaker 4: that's that's unacceptable, and no hedging. No, well, you know
Speaker 4: the first he's like, no, no, no, you can't burn
Speaker 4: and loot. That's not okay.
Speaker 3: It's so obvious and it's so easy. But the leftists.
Speaker 6: Are are they made made their ideology kind of such
Speaker 6: a quasi religion to actually say, hey, you guys, are
Speaker 6: you know my allies are wrong is almost heresy.
Speaker 3: They're afraid to do it.
Speaker 2: Why why are Democrats making it their mission to double
Speaker 2: down on the legal immigrants?
Speaker 5: Like even the whole you know, he saw the marilynd
Speaker 5: Man who.
Speaker 2: Was just your you know, friendly ol Salvadoran who you know,
Speaker 2: as part of human smuggling, who allegedly beat his girlfriend and.
Speaker 4: Maybe all that totly if you believe her sworn statements.
Speaker 2: Allegedly took part in the murdering of a rival gang's mom.
Speaker 3: You know, like well, don't forget the kitty porn.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the kitty porn.
Speaker 3: So mean, why why But it's.
Speaker 2: Like, but even beyond that, like even let's say he's
Speaker 2: like not involved in all this stuff, why double down
Speaker 2: on the legal immigrants.
Speaker 4: Well, I think there's a cop, Like I said, they
Speaker 4: you know, after nineteen sixty eight and getting.
Speaker 3: And losing the Nixon they went hard left.
Speaker 4: After or Carter lost to Reagan, they went hard left
Speaker 4: in eighty four.
Speaker 3: That's what Democrats do.
Speaker 4: They look at a situation where they lost and go, oh, well,
Speaker 4: the answers to do all the things that made us lose,
Speaker 4: except only harder.
Speaker 3: So that's part of it. That's their normal inclination.
Speaker 4: They are in a bubble and it's very hard to
Speaker 4: break out of it. The other thing is they're just
Speaker 4: not very impressive people. They're not that smart. You know,
Speaker 4: you see somebody like Fetterman or Kana who have the
Speaker 4: courage to do something that is so obvious. I mean,
Speaker 4: even if you want to be cynical, you get up
Speaker 4: there and say no, we can't you know, we can't
Speaker 4: have violence.
Speaker 3: Stop. You have to stop. I'm not gonna talk about
Speaker 3: anything else. You need to stop, and they can't even
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 4: The thing is they also are not served well anymore
Speaker 4: by owning the regime media because they're never challenged. You know,
Speaker 4: if there were normal reporters out there going, are you
Speaker 4: saying that Donald Trump's to blame for them raiding that
Speaker 4: foot locker and stealing all the shoes? Well, I mean
Speaker 4: there are dumb Democrats. I mean, you know Ted Lou's
Speaker 4: my congressman.
Speaker 3: He's an idiot. But you know, most.
Speaker 4: Normal people would go, yeah, I'm not going to say
Speaker 4: that's Trump's fault because I look like a fool. But
Speaker 4: the regime media will never challenge them. So you have
Speaker 4: dumb people who are never challenged to have have no
Speaker 4: way to learn and no outside connection.
Speaker 3: It's it's a real mess for them.
Speaker 4: It's making me optimistic about twenty six and twenty eight,
Speaker 4: that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Quick break more on these crazy riots.
Speaker 2: I feel like heading into the election, I used to
Speaker 2: feel like the Democrats controlling, controlling like the media and
Speaker 2: big tech at the time, although that's changed, Hollywood and
Speaker 2: like sort of all the you know, places where most
Speaker 2: Americans get their nation flow. I used to think that
Speaker 2: that was tour detriment and would mean that we wouldn't
Speaker 2: win elections, and now after the election, to your point,
Speaker 2: I think it's actually to our positive or tour benefit, because,
Speaker 2: as you pointed out, they've created their own echo chamber
Speaker 2: that they can't seem to escape, and so they don't
Speaker 2: understand where most Americans are on the issue.
Speaker 3: Hold, no, they don't.
Speaker 4: They've also forced us to create our own independent sources,
Speaker 4: of which your podcast is won. Twenty years ago, there
Speaker 4: wouldn't be a podcast like yours. It wouldn't be there
Speaker 4: wouldn't be a podcast period. But you know, you had.
Speaker 3: Very narrow silos where you could get.
Speaker 4: You know, patriotic, pro American kind of information.
Speaker 3: Right now, we've had to build them.
Speaker 4: I mean, the whole Fox network was designed to get
Speaker 4: around this problem, and their media strategy is really a
Speaker 4: twentieth century media strategy. You look at the networks, you
Speaker 4: look at The Post and the Times, and it's like
Speaker 4: they think it's nineteen ninety three, where there's nobody who's
Speaker 4: going to be able to.
Speaker 3: Tell the truth.
Speaker 4: But they're operating in a twenty twenty five environment where
Speaker 4: we've got a zillion sources, including but not limited to
Speaker 4: X where we can find information. So nobody respects the
Speaker 4: mainstream media anymore because it's it's a joke.
Speaker 2: You know, before we go where I mean, obviously you
Speaker 2: know there are going to be a protests over the
Speaker 2: weekend in response to the military parade. We're already saying,
Speaker 2: you know, some chaos breakout elsewhere in the country, Like
Speaker 2: where is this heading and how bad do you think
Speaker 2: it's going to get.
Speaker 3: There's two choices.
Speaker 4: The first choice is to double down and accelerate the violence,
Speaker 4: take it to a new level, which happened in the
Speaker 4: early seventies. We actually had a low level insurgency in
Speaker 4: the United States with thousands of bombings and you know,
Speaker 4: hundreds of murders, the Weathermen, Simonese Liberation Army, Black Panthers
Speaker 4: were actually out killing people, okay, and that.
Speaker 3: Did work out very well for the left. The other
Speaker 3: option is to.
Speaker 4: Do what they did after twenty twenty, which is okay, everybody,
Speaker 4: calm down, you're kind of hurting the cause.
Speaker 3: While the far.
Speaker 4: Left activist crowd that goes out on the streets is
Speaker 4: not directly controlled by the Democrat Party, it does take
Speaker 4: a hint and if the Democrats decide this is this
Speaker 4: is killing us, they will disappear until next time.
Speaker 5: But why are they.
Speaker 2: So geared towards violence? I mean, because you're right. You
Speaker 2: can go back to the weather Underground and then know,
Speaker 2: Obama piled around with I'm forgetting his name off the
Speaker 2: top of my head, but like one of the.
Speaker 5: Bill Airs, Bill Airs, it's right, And then that was like,
Speaker 5: I guess totally fine with everyone, but it's like why
Speaker 5: why are they you know?
Speaker 2: And then you can just go through like a long
Speaker 2: list of things that the Tesla bombings, the pregnancy center bombings,
Speaker 2: the attempted assassination of Steve Scleeze and other Republicans on
Speaker 2: practicing for the Congressional baseball game, or Lee Zeldon almost
Speaker 2: getting stabbed while running for governor, or someone trying to
Speaker 2: assassinate Brett Kavanaugh, or two attempted assassinations of Donald Trump.
Speaker 5: It's like, why are they so violent?
Speaker 4: Well, sometimes it's effective, not all the time, but sometimes
Speaker 4: it scares people. It intimidates people, and they react to it.
Speaker 4: But here's what I really think it is. In large part,
Speaker 4: it's fun. They enjoy it. They get to be the
Speaker 4: action hero for their own perverted, weird ideology. Okay, there's
Speaker 4: a reason Chay's picture is up on a thousand dorm
Speaker 4: room wall. He's not ugly, he's romantic, he's exciting. You know,
Speaker 4: so many of these people, Lisa, come from very wealthy backgrounds.
Speaker 4: They're pampered, their lives are soft. It's easy. This allows
Speaker 4: them to be the knights and shining armor. They get
Speaker 4: to do something edgy and cool and exciting.
Speaker 3: And you know, it is exciting. I I've been in
Speaker 3: war zones.
Speaker 4: There is a feeling when you are in conflict that
Speaker 4: you can't get in your normal life.
Speaker 3: Okay, I know it.
Speaker 4: Sounds glib, but a lot of them do it because
Speaker 4: it's fun.
Speaker 3: They enjoy it.
Speaker 5: And then before we go is there anything else you
Speaker 5: want to leave us with.
Speaker 4: Well, look, I think that this is I think we're
Speaker 4: very lucky we have a leader like Donald Trump. And
Speaker 4: I'm not trying to be mister Trump his tail. He
Speaker 4: is a great communicator, and he also is strong. And
Speaker 4: these guys are conducting an information operation only because they
Speaker 4: don't have the power to conduct a kinetic operation. They
Speaker 4: don't have essentially the guns to force people to do
Speaker 4: what they want. They keep talking about revolution. If they
Speaker 4: had the combat power to do it, they would come
Speaker 4: in kill people and force us to comply. Here, they've
Speaker 4: got to convince us to comply. They have to make
Speaker 4: us comply by changing our minds, by changing the narrative.
Speaker 4: Trump understands that he understands the power of a strong,
Speaker 4: legitimate government standing up and saying no, we will not
Speaker 4: bend your threats. We will not bend to your intimidation.
Speaker 4: We are going to execute the law, and you illegal
Speaker 4: aliens are going home.

Speaker 2: the show, my friend, and hope to catch up soon.
