I love Thanksgiving. It's a great holiday. I 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: think it's my number two. I'm number one is Christmas 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 1: for me, but I think Thanksgiving goes in my number 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: two slot. As a Roman Catholic, I think I'm supposed 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: to say Easter is my number one. But I'm not 15 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: talking about the spiritual significance necessarily of the holiday. I'm 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: just talking about fun, and Thanksgiving is a is a 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,720 Speaker 1: fun one. I'm still yet to get any explanation as 18 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 1: to why we don't eat stuffing the rest of the year. 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: When was the last time that was not during the 20 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving era, that you were in a restaurant they had 21 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 1: stuffing as an option. I'm sure it happens in some places, 22 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: but I have not seen it. I don't think i've 23 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 1: ever seen it. Actually, stuffing is an option. I feel like, 24 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: why not just put it into sandwiches and wraps and things. 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: It could be delicious anyway. Obviously I'm a little hungry. 26 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: We have much to discuss. You have Trump meeting with 27 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie. To Mom Donnie, it's a bit of a 28 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: tongue twister sometimes, Mom Donnie at the White House Today 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: three Eastern is when the meeting's said for, So will 30 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: will happen right when we finish. We will bring you 31 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 1: what we hear from it. It's not open to the press. 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: I think that's a bit of a miss. It would 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 1: be really interesting to see how these two interact with 34 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: the cameras on. I know how it's gonna go. Trump 35 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: is Trump, He's always he's always charming and funny. You know, 36 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: he'll he'll make some comments. He'll he'll give him a 37 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: he'll rib him a little bit, uh, Mom dommie, Mom Donnie, 38 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: you got to remember, for all of his idiotic and 39 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: self defeating policies, Mom Donnie is a guy who also 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: knows how to grip and grin and make people feel 41 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:17,320 Speaker 1: like he gives you damn about them. So that's going 42 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: to be interesting. But it's going to happen right, so 43 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 1: I can't bring it to you live here. I was 44 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: hoping it would happen while we were on the air, 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 1: and so we could either go right to it live 46 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: or or we could bring you some of the cuts. 47 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: But it's actually going to be right after we finish. 48 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: But Monday, when Clays back, we will certainly dive into 49 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: that with all of you. But even the run up 50 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: to this meeting, should we say, the Socialism Summit is 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: getting quite a bit of attention, and I think that 52 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: you have a Democrat Party that's still trying to figure 53 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: out the best way to message. 54 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 2: All of this. 55 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: There's a lot going on. More Democrats are socialist, and 56 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about elected Democrats now, but more Democrats are 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,400 Speaker 1: socialist in their hearts than will ever say so out loud. 58 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party is in so many ways indistinguishable from 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: a democratic socialist party, say in Europe, I don't even 60 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: know if you could find any really distinguishing characteristics. They 61 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: want a lot more taxation, a lot more government control. 62 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: They want single payer health care. They really just want 63 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: the government to be making all decisions everywhere for everyone. 64 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 2: They want to. 65 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: Focus on equality of everybody as the primary goal of 66 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: what a government does. So if that means you have 67 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: to bring some people down and you have to lift 68 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: a whole a lot of other people up, that's what 69 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: they want to do. As we know that doesn't actually work. 70 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: It's always a failure. People will say, oh, but what 71 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: about the northern European countries. They'll bring up Sweden or 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: they'll bring up Denmark. Those are countries that are actually 73 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: very economically private sector driven, believe it or not. And 74 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: what they have is a large They have a high 75 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 1: tax base or high tax level for everyone, including the 76 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: middle class. Everybody pays high taxes in Sweden. 77 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 2: This is what they don't tell you. It's not just 78 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 2: the rich. 79 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 1: Everybody you make fifty you make the equivalent of fifty 80 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: to one hundred thousand dollars a year in Sweden or whatever. 81 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: Their average household income would be less than that. But 82 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: if you're a middle income earner in Sweden, you pay 83 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 1: pretty high taxes. And then they have a large welfare 84 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: state and state services. But they don't actually have endless 85 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,279 Speaker 1: amounts of government control of all aspects of the of 86 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: the economy. 87 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 2: It's not truly socialists. 88 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 1: So that's when Sweden used to be more socialist than 89 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 1: it was an economic basket case, and then it changed 90 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: its policies. I think it was in the seventies to 91 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: privatize and make it more market based, and it became 92 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: much better as a country. Now they've gone with the 93 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: whole open borders thing and DEI and multiculturalism. Those countries 94 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: are probably in a pretty rapid descent into disintegrating as cohesive. 95 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 2: Political entities as a result. But I digress. 96 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: The House of Representatives voted this just happened this morning, 97 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty oh sorry, two hundred and eighty 98 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: five to ninety eight to approve a resolution condemning the 99 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: horrors of socialism. This is just before Trump is set 100 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: to meet New York's incoming Democrats Socialist mayor Zoron Mamdani. 101 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: Eighty six Democrats joined with Republicans no Republican voter to 102 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: oppose it. Speaker Mike Johnson House GOP leaders have been 103 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: very critical of. 104 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 2: This the mayor. Remember, New York City is interesting. 105 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: If you read there's a very dense but good, but dense. 106 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: It's a project to read it. A history of New 107 00:05:55,080 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: York called Gotham, and it lays out over its many 108 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: many I think it's like a thousand pages. I've got 109 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: a copy of it here. It lays out that New 110 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 1: York is interesting as a city because it really was. 111 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: It wasn't founded as a like a colony of a 112 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: certain religion that was trying to escape persecution in Europe. 113 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: It did. You know. 114 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: You look at some of these stories of places like 115 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: Massachusetts and Pennsylvania and some of the early cities in Plymouth, 116 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: Rock and all of this, and there's a there's a 117 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: narrative that tends to play out different Christian sects but similarities. 118 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: New York was really founded in a sense as just 119 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: a mercantile and commercial hub. It's a city driven by capitalism, 120 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 1: a city driven by commerce, a city driven by money 121 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: and for and it's America's largest city by a large margin. 122 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: And for that city to have elected a socialist, an 123 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: open socialist, there is something here. It's different than Bernie Sanders. 124 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean, let's be Vermont is a quaint place. I 125 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: actually think Vermont's very beautiful. I'm very fond of it 126 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: as a geography, but very left wing Democrat. As you know, 127 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: Vermont has what's the population of Vermont. It's in the 128 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands. I don't even think it has a 129 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: million people. It's like eight hundred thousand or six hundred 130 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: thousand or something. You tell me, I don't know. Maybe 131 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 1: it's a million, maybe it's a million total. But that's 132 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 1: a very different things. You got your pretty mountains, and 133 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: you got your ice cream and your you know, your 134 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: maple syrup candy. And if Bernie Sanders a New York 135 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: Brooklyn guy who moved there. 136 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: That's why he has the funny accent that don't puck 137 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: like this up in the green mountains of ver Month. 138 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: That's not how they sound. I mean, honestly, very few 139 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: people from Brooklyn sound like that either. But that's Bernie 140 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: kind of has a version of a Brooklyn accident. But 141 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: it's a very different thing when a small state that 142 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: the population of yeah, it was six thousand, six hundred 143 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand. I was I was basically spot on, 144 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: who needs chat GPT when you have buck GPT. This 145 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: is a very different thing when the capital of commerce 146 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 1: for the whole world, really, which is New York City, 147 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: goes socialists. So I think a lot of people are 148 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: looking at this and saying that the optics of it, 149 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: the way it looks, the way it seems, is a 150 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,360 Speaker 1: different thing, or even a more powerful thing than whether 151 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: mom Donnie is going to be able to implement some 152 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: of the socialist policies that he wants to. And I 153 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 1: think there's certainly an open, open question about that. I 154 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: think it's unlikely, in fact, that. 155 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: He will be able to do so. 156 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: I think it's very unlikely that he will be able 157 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: to do free buses, for example. And one thing that's 158 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: a little bit well funny, a little sad, but also funny, 159 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 1: the buses for a lot of people are already free 160 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: because they just get on and don't pay, just like 161 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: the subway. The losses that the New York City subway 162 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,079 Speaker 1: is currently taking from people turnstyle jumping every time I'm 163 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: in New York and I go take the subway, which 164 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:11,839 Speaker 1: I will be honest with you, is rare. I used 165 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: to be on the subway every single day, years and 166 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,560 Speaker 1: years and years. Subway every single day, multiple times a day. 167 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 1: But I have been back a couple of times and 168 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: you see people just jumping the turnstyle like it's no 169 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: big deal. Middle of the day people everywhere, no one 170 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: cares turnstyle jumping. If you actually add it up, it's 171 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: a large sum of money that the city of New 172 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 1: York is losing to turnstyle jumpers. And I'm gonna say this, 173 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: no one is struggling with rent because of the price 174 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: of riding the subway, then no one is actually having 175 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: financial difficulty because of that. There's other things, but it's 176 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: not because they didn't jump the turnstyle because they needed to. 177 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: It's a bit like when AOC was telling everybody that 178 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: those who are robbing from CVS and Dwayne Reid and 179 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 1: these drug store chains in New York, maybe they were 180 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: hungry and needed to feed themselves. 181 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: No, there's plenty of food banks. You can get food. 182 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: They're not stealing food. 183 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: They're stealing and I know because my whole drug store 184 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: was locked down because of this. They're stealing razor blade cartridges. 185 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 1: They're stealing expensive you know, skin care things or anything 186 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: that they can go and easily sell on eBay. 187 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: Or on the internet or even just on the street. 188 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: That's what they want. They're stealing as a form of 189 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: making money illegally. They're not stealing because they're starving to death. 190 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: So you look at the way Momdani approaches things like, 191 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, how he's going to help people with cost 192 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: of living, and he's just wrong on everything. He's wrong 193 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: across the board. It's not going to help. In fact, 194 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: it will make things worse. And I do think it's 195 00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 1: interesting because Trump can say that he met with this 196 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: guy and there's going to be you know, it's. 197 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 2: They're gonna come out of this. 198 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: They both play to the cameras. Trump is a master. 199 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: As you all know, Trump is incredible at how to 200 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: craft that media narrative, Mom. 201 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 2: Donnie, that's really his skill set too. 202 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 1: He's not good he's never run a company, he's never 203 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 1: been a builder, but he's good at that as well, 204 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: in his own way. So they will come out from 205 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: this meeting today and they will be both setting up 206 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: I think, what their expectations are for the city of 207 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: New York, and we'll see who ends up being more 208 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: correct on this one. And we're gonna watch this closely 209 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: because now this has been put in motion where it's 210 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: something that will be discussed as a preview and leading 211 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: up to I think might even grow as a conversation 212 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: about the midterms. Who's going to be running your state 213 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 1: in the Senate, who's going to be representing your district 214 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: in Congress and the direction of the country as well. 215 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: The Democrats are going to try very hard to re 216 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: establish their connection because they've really lost it. They got 217 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: all they got too crazy with the DEI and the 218 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: trans kid stuff and all this. The Democrats are going 219 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,599 Speaker 1: to try to go back to being a class warfare 220 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: party that cares about the working class because otherwise they 221 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: can't win these elections at the national level. Otherwise they're 222 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: going to be boxed out by MAGA and trump Ism. 223 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: So this is going to be a central fight the 224 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: cost of the things you need day to day, affordability. 225 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 2: I really think. 226 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: I know we're a year out, but it's going to 227 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: be the afford unless you know, who knows crazy things 228 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: can happen, right, But it's set up to be the 229 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,839 Speaker 1: affordability election, and who has better ideas and who's been 230 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: doing more to try to bring down prices. So that's 231 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,719 Speaker 1: what I see. That's my sense, my preview of this 232 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 1: Mom Dannie meeting. And we'll get well, we'll talk more 233 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: about this and like I said on Monday, we'll have 234 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: the full readout of it. I can guarantee you this 235 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: Trump is going to have at least one hilarious line 236 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: about meeting this guy. Probably a few, but at least 237 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: one really really funny line. All Right, Today, among all 238 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: the news that's capturing our attention we're talking about here 239 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: on the show, there's still a critical struggle going on 240 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: that's often outside the headlines, and it's happening in the 241 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: minds of thousands and thousands of women across the country 242 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: who are dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. They've got few options, 243 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: at least they think that's true, and many of them 244 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: are unfortunately being pushed toward abortion for their child as 245 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: some kind of a convenience. And it's tragic. Nearly one 246 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: in four pregnancies today end an abortion. That's over three 247 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 1: thousand lives lost every single day. There is a nonprofit, though, 248 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: that is doing something about this right now today and 249 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: has been doing this for years. That's the Preborn Network 250 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: of Clinics. Preborn invites others into their clinics with love, 251 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 1: warmth and support and gives them a free ultrasound so 252 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: they can meet the tiny baby in their womb, see 253 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: that heartbeat, establish that connection, and then they say, please 254 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: have the baby and we'll help you for two years 255 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: after the baby's born.

And 355 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: you think about where, let's say the Democrat Party, the 356 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: left in this country, where they will consolidate their outrage. 357 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: What really gets them upset the coverage of this incident, 358 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,640 Speaker 1: as opposed to say, the coverage of the Hoaxesse smolette. 359 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: They put a noose around my neck and said mean 360 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: things to me.

It didn't actually happen at all, 367 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: and it was obvious from the start, but it was 368 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: not even the same universe of the ugliness of this. 369 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 2: Okay, he had like a. 370 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 1: Mild bruise under one eye that he gave himself, So 371 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: you know, but what was more upsetting to the Democrat intelligencia? 372 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 2: What was more worthy of your. 373 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: Time as a consumer of news? According to CNN, according 374 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 1: to the New York Times? In these places we all 375 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: know the answer. Well, here is the mayor of Chicago 376 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 1: weighing in on this, and remember he is the fact 377 00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:01,439 Speaker 1: that he was elected should should just be upset to anybody. 378 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: Chicago has a violence problem, and they elected the guy 379 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: with the worst ideas, the least accountability, the least accountability 380 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: for the criminals, the least accountability for the failures of 381 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: policing and the system.

No, but 409 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 1: you know what, I'm sure, I'm sure he would be 410 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: able to muster tremendous outrage if maybe we could get 411 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: some early reports of some career felon who was shot 412 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: by police, assuming the career felon's black and assuming the 413 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 1: cops are not. 414 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: If we could get him to weigh in. 415 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: On an incident like that where there's an early report that, 416 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, there was excessive force. Oh, he'd be 417 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: pounding the table. He would be outraged. It's not outraged 418 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: at all. Sounds very calm talking about a woman in 419 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: his city being lit on fire, almost died by burning 420 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: to death, and reportedly the people around her didn't render 421 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 1: any aid. She managed to eventually get aid, people helped 422 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: oust the flames, and then first responders showed up. Now 423 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: the leadership of Chicago as abysmal. As you know, there 424 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 1: is no real leadership, and the race politics of Chicago 425 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: when it comes to crimes like this one are very apparent, 426 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,880 Speaker 1: which is, you know, imagine this anytime there's anything that 427 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: the BLM left wants to get upset about it, imagine 428 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: if we just set isolated incident every time. I said, 429 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 1: you know what's interesting though, they are isolated incidents that 430 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: BLM talks about. But if you just dismissed it as 431 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,959 Speaker 1: an isolated incident, they would the Left would lose their minds. 432 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: They'd burn things, well, they'd burn things down anyway, and 433 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: you'd have Kamala and Pelosi and. 434 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,360 Speaker 2: Schumer and all of them. 435 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Oh this is why we have to 436 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: come to grips with the racism in this country. Meanwhile, 437 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: we have another absolutely heinous incident of a black man, 438 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 1: a career criminal we're about to get into that, who 439 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: did something completely horrific, unprovoked, out of nowhere to a 440 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 1: white woman who was on mass transit, just like what 441 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: happened to Irena. Remember that happened the same week, if 442 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: my memory is correct, as the Charlie Kirk assassination. So 443 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: that fell fell away, but was it in North Carolina, 444 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: right North Carolina. On the see you see how quickly 445 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: these events come and go. She stabs so viciously in 446 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: the neck, and she looks around and she's completely terrified 447 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: and distraught and alone because some maniac stabs her in 448 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: the neck. And we all sit here and say, if 449 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: it were a black woman who was on that train 450 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: stab in the neck, or if it were a black 451 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 1: woman who was on the L train and was lit 452 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: on fire and it was by a white guy who 453 00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: was a career criminal, we would be honestly, we'd be 454 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: worried about entire neighborhoods of cities burning down, as we know, 455 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: but that's not the that's not the the demographic truth 456 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: of what happened in these situations. And so there's there's 457 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: just oh, it's just another you know, I slit it 458 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 1: into a random thing. Happened stance, It just sort of happened. Well, 459 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: could it have been prevented? The answer is yes, it 460 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 1: should have been prevent could have it should have been prevented? 461 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: And to that I bring you this New York Times. 462 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: Here's how the New York Times writes about this man 463 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:09,360 Speaker 1: just man again, if it were a white man who 464 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: did this to a black woman, it would be the 465 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: biggest story in the country by far. We would have 466 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: marches in the street. But irrespective, it could just be 467 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,560 Speaker 1: a lunatic, right, it could just be and maybe that's 468 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: the case here. But if we're just dealing with somebody 469 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: who's like a drug addict, paranoid, schizophrenical. New York Times, 470 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 1: biggest part of it would be a white on black crime, 471 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,880 Speaker 1: that would make it a really big story. But because 472 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: it's a black eye who did this to a white woman, 473 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 1: they do not have any interest. Man just man charge 474 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 1: with terrorism after woman again, no description, no descriptor there 475 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: set on fire on Chicago train. Chicago's facing federal terrorism charges. 476 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: Lawrence red facing one kind of committing attack. I go 477 00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:01,000 Speaker 1: through this and it gives you a blow blow of 478 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: this horrific insa. This woman's fighting for her life in 479 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: the hospital. I mean, there's almost some of you know 480 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: this because you've worked in hospitals, you have medical training, 481 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: or you served in the military and you saw what 482 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: severe burns can do to people. There's really nothing more, 483 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 1: nothing more painful on the planet than severe burns. Truly, 484 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: nothing more painful. So what she's going through is agonizing 485 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: beyond words and beyond really are our most horrific reckonings. 486 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,360 Speaker 1: It's it's disgusting, beyond words. It's horrible that she's being 487 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,880 Speaker 1: put through this. But you know what, they don't mention 488 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: in this entire New York Times piece. This is like, uh, 489 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe it's five hundred words on what happened. 490 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: This was the main piece that comes to the New 491 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: York Times that this guy who the black man named 492 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: Reid Lawrence, who lit this woman on fire for absolutely 493 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: no reason. Just there's a white woman, I'm going to 494 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,400 Speaker 1: go light her on fire. That is what happened. And 495 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 1: he said the B Wordarently that's reported as well. 496 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 2: He had been. 497 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: Arrested seventy times, seven zero, seventy times. Do you think 498 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: that maybe the system in Chicago after the tenth arrest 499 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 1: might have said, this guy has got a problem, he's 500 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: a danger with the public. Do you think do you 501 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: think okay for oh no, that's too harsh. Do you 502 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: think after the twentieth arrest we could decide that this 503 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 1: guy's not actually about to found the next Google, he's 504 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: not actually working on his dissertation, he's not a family man, 505 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: who's just trying to make ends meet. No, maybe, okay, 506 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: what about the fiftieth the rest five zero, the fiftieth 507 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: the rest. Do you think that the prosecutor in that 508 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 1: case and the judge might have said to themselves, you know, 509 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: I think we have a problem. We may have a 510 00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: public safety threat here. He's been arrested fifty times. But no, 511 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: they had to wait until the seventieth, the seventieth arrest. 512 00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: He is a violent criminal history. Let me add that 513 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: to violent criminal history of assaulting women. So it was 514 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: on the seventy, you know, seventieth times a charm apparently, 515 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: where they're actually going to do something, they're actually going 516 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: to take seriously. Now, all we're throwing federal terrorism charges. 517 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: What so they can they can they can pretend like 518 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: they didn't miss the ball on this entirely the whole time. 519 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: You can be arrested seventy times in America and still 520 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: be out on the street. 521 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 2: Think about that for a moment. Mayor Brandon Johnson of 522 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: Chicago was not outraged about that. No, no, no, Now. 523 00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: Far more outraged about Donald Trump trying to bring in 524 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 1: National Guard to prevent things like this from happening, to 525 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: help people feel safer on the streets. But we all 526 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: know where this comes from. We all understand this mental. 527 00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: The Democrats decided that there are too many men of 528 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: color who are in prison, and so the policy had 529 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 1: to change. And they couldn't get away with changing the 530 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: laws that have disproportionate impact on communities of color, like 531 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 1: you can't you know, murder, steal, light people on fire. 532 00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: You know, there's a disproportionate impact that exists from these 533 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 1: criminal laws. 534 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 2: So what do they do. 535 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: They say, well, let's let's just stop locking people up 536 00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: for it. We'll arrest them, but let's you know, the 537 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: prisons are too crowded. We need to let more people out. 538 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: And you can't lock anybody up for being completely criminally 539 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: insane either. We can't take them off the streets. We 540 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: have to wait. They can do a lot of crazy 541 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: things and break a lot of laws, but we have 542 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 1: to wait until they do something as heinous as any 543 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 1: of us could ever imagine a human being doing lighting, 544 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: think about light lighting, and this is the person on fire, 545 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: and this is also you know, your case like this 546 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 1: and I'm like this is and then. 547 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 2: Oh, people say, buck, how could you your Catholic? Whatever? 548 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: No, this is why I say, I think we do 549 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: have to have a death penalty in this country, and 550 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: I think we have to use it a lot. 551 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 2: More, a lot more. 552 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 1: The criminals are not getting the message. It's not getting through. 553 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 1: They're not first timers who made a mistake. Oh but 554 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: you know, may Or Brandon, Ah, there's the Chicago subways. 555 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: Say oh, he's gonna have, you know, six hundred something 556 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: murders in his city this year, but oh, the L 557 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: train is safe. It's appalling, appalling, how these leftist ideologues 558 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,719 Speaker 1: with their view of crime. And I worry, you know, 559 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:39,840 Speaker 1: I'm already thinking about how this could translate to mom 560 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,239 Speaker 1: Donnie in New York. Is he going to be like 561 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,200 Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson. I think it's very possible. He certainly sounds 562 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,600 Speaker 1: like he will. We don't know yet. But their ideology 563 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: results in horrible things happening to people. It's because they 564 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 1: refuse to hold individuals accountable, in large part because of 565 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,720 Speaker 1: their view of racial justice in this country. They will 566 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 1: not hold people accountable, and people die, and people get 567 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 1: lit on fire, and they don't stop it. They don't change. 568 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:12,520 Speaker 1: That's the price of doing business in their cities. 569 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 2: The way they want to. 570 00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,920 Speaker 1: So as Trump is meeting with Mamdani today, keep this 571 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: in mind. This stuff has consequences for real people. It 572 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: has consequences for everybody in Chicago who's got to sit 573 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: there and think now. 574 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:25,960 Speaker 2: But just like. 575 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: Everybody on the on the light rail in uh in 576 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: Charlotte after what happened to Irena, Oh, don't worry, you're safe. 577 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: That's an isolated incident. Really, I was in Taiwan. How 578 00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,360 Speaker 1: many people do you think have been lit on fire 579 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: on the subway of ti in Taiwan this past year, 580 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: or stabbed in the neck or punched in the face 581 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: or thrown in front of him none? Huh, it's weird, 582 00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: you mean, we don't have to live in a society 583 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,800 Speaker 1: where criminals get coddled and are treated like it's not 584 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: their fault. 585 00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: Enough is enough? All right? 586 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 1: This stuff gets me fired up because I've lived in 587 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 1: cities where this madness happens, and I'm sick of it. 588 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,120 Speaker 1: And it's horrible what happens to these victims. It's not 589 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: kind to be kind to those who are violating people 590 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: and doing terrible things. 591 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:12,760 Speaker 2: All right, Next week is Thanksgiving? 592 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 3: All right? 593 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:13,359 Speaker 2: All right? 594 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: Next week is Thanksgiving.
