First up, Democrats, they're pretty 5 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: upset over the government shutdown, but what they're really upset 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,319 Speaker 2: about is your subsidies. Billions and billions of dollars in 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: payouts going to insurance companies that are getting rich. Obamacare 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 2: is broken, known as the Affordable Care Act, it's anything but, 9 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 2: and we'll explain it to you. Also, why are democrats 10 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 2: so angry with John Fetterman for just doing the right 11 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: thing and saying it's time to open the government. We'll 12 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 2: explain that as well. And finally, more violence as Antifa 13 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 2: attacks at a turning point USA gathering. It's the weekend 14 00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 2: Review and it starts right now. 15 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 3: And the President he was in a good mood, but 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: he was He was expressing his views emphatically as he 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 3: always does. 18 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, and he met by the way, I've ever done 19 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: a phone call, Like if you've never gotten to do this, 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: he does not ever hold back when you're talking about 21 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 2: the phone. 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: I not a single phone call. 23 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 2: You've had a lot more than I have, But when 24 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: I've had phone calls with him, whether it was in 25 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: sixteen to twenty or now forward, like, he does not 26 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 2: hold back at all. When you're on the cell phone, 27 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 2: on speakerphone as. 28 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: Well, he does not. So one of the things we 29 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 3: asked of him Friday night, we said, listen, in this 30 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: battle with the Democrats over Obamacare, Obamacare's failing. It's a 31 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 3: bad program. And if you go back, go back to 32 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 3: twenty thirteen. Twenty thirteen, when I did a filibuster against Obamacare, 33 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 3: I said, at the time, if you remember, Barack Obama 34 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 3: promised the American people, Obamacare would would cut the average 35 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 3: families premiums by twenty five hundred a year. 36 00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: Yep, that was a lie. 37 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 3: And in fact, they skyrocketed at the time five thousand 38 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 3: a year. They've skyrocketed a lot more than that. Even 39 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: the Washington Post has now admitted the editorial page the 40 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 3: Affordable Care Act, which is the misleading name of Obamacare, 41 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,880 Speaker 3: did not make health care more affordable. It caused premiums 42 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 3: to skyrocket. So when we had Trump on the phone, 43 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 3: we said, look, it would really help if you made 44 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: the case that what Democrats are fighting for is these 45 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 3: massive multi billion dollar corporate welfare payoffs to the health 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: insurance companies instead of empowering consumers. And look, we want 47 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 3: a lower prices. And so we said, in particular, it 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 3: would really help if you would send a truth and 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 3: Trump said, great, come up with something. And so I 50 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 3: will tell you what the President sent. I had a 51 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 3: lot of input in this, and here's what he put out. 52 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 3: President Trump said, Democrats claim to be working for quote 53 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 3: the little guy and driving down your health insurance. But 54 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: the and the rest of this is in all caps, 55 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 3: Obamacare scam goes straight to their best friends in the 56 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 3: insurance industry. They are making a killing while health coverage 57 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 3: only gets worse. If Democrats get their way again, they're 58 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: in for another huge payday at the expense of the 59 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: American people. No deal in all caps. Republicans should give 60 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 3: money directly to your personal health savings accounts all in 61 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 3: caps that I expanded in our great, big, beautiful bill. 62 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 3: Thank you for your attention to this matter. Now, this 63 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 3: is really important because if you want a really strong, 64 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 3: principled conservative reform to health insurance, expanding health savings accounts 65 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 3: so that you give you the consumer, you the patient, 66 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: more control and instead of sending money to the insurance companies, 67 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: send it straight to people's health savings accounts, so you 68 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: can spend it on premiums, you can spend it on deductibles, 69 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: you can spend it on healthcare that expands competition and 70 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 3: empowers patients at at lowers prices. The President leaning in 71 00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: with this tweet really helps in this political will have 72 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 3: over the next six weeks because the outcome he's advocating 73 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 3: for is something I've advocated for a long time, and 74 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 3: and that was a direct result of that dinner on 75 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: Friday night where we got him on the phone. 76 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: You know, there's one interesting thing that's coming out of 77 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: this first year of Trump being back in office. It 78 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 2: is really empowering the American people, whether it is the 79 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: accounts you's talked about, whether it's the Trump accounts that 80 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: are going to be coming in this next year that 81 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 2: you guys pass to give kids the opportunity to save 82 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: money and to be able to grow accounts and to 83 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: build wealth over their lifetime. Like, there is a lot 84 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: of personal growth and personal excitement that it's Trump is 85 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 2: get the government out of your life. You can do 86 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 2: better without it. We want to help you do that, 87 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,160 Speaker 2: and then the Democrats like no, No, No, No, No, Mandani's 88 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 2: and others usually have. 89 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: No control of your life. 90 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: We want to run the whole damn show from from 91 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 2: from birth to death. Just trust the US government to 92 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: be your daddy or your mommy or both. And that's 93 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 2: exactly the difference between the Republicans and Democrats right now. 94 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 3: Look at it's a fundamental divide. As you noted, we 95 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 3: passed the Trump accounts. As you know well, I wrote 96 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 3: that legislation. This has been a major theme that I've 97 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 3: been fighting for since the first day I got elected 98 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: to the Senate. And whether you're talking about hell savings accounts, 99 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: whether you're talking about Trump accounts that are that are 100 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 3: essentially four A one K savings accounts for kids, or 101 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 3: whether you're talking about school choice and getting tax credits, 102 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 3: the unifying theme of all of those is individual choice, 103 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 3: empowering you the individual rather than government competition and giving 104 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 3: you control. That is the fundamental difference between left and right. 105 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 3: And President Trump has been a great partner in this, 106 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: and I'll tell you as a part of his tweet, 107 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 3: he sent out a chart, a chart which which which 108 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: I had sent him, but I want you to see 109 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: the chart. We're going to put it up on YouTube 110 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 3: for anyone that's watching on YouTube, but it goes through 111 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 3: the major healthcare companies their stock performance since Obamacare passed. 112 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to walk through them. Etna Obamacare March twenty 113 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: ten is when it passed. Etna's stock stock price was 114 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: thirty dollars and fifty cents. Today it's two hundred and 115 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 3: twelve dollars, so it's increased five hundred and ninety five 116 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 3: percent since Obamacare passed. Senteen Its stock has increased six 117 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 3: hundred and four percent, Molina its stock has increased eight 118 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty nine percent, Humana its stock has increased 119 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:46,239 Speaker 3: four hundred and ninety percent, Anthem Elevance Health Its stock 120 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: has increased four hundred and fourteen percent, Signa Its stock 121 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 3: has increased eight eight hundred and twenty two percent, and 122 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 3: United Health Group. When Obamacare passed, United Health stock was 123 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: twenty five dollars and sixty six cents. Today November twenty 124 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 3: twenty five, it is three hundred and twenty seven dollars 125 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: and seventy four cents. That is at one thousand, one 126 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 3: hundred and seventy seven percent increase. That's what Obamacare, did 127 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: it massively increased the profits of the health insurance companies. 128 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: By the way, those health insurance companies overwhelmingly give to Democrats. 129 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: They give to Chuck Schumer, they give to Keem Jeffries 130 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 3: and the Democrats because they recognize when Democrats are in power, 131 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: their profits go through the roof and the American people's 132 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: premium skyrocket. What are the Democrats say they wanted to 133 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 3: do in this shutdown give fifty billion dollars to those 134 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 3: same health insurance companies who profits have skyrocket. And it's 135 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 3: why what the presidents said is so important. No, we're 136 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 3: not going to give money to health insurance companies. Instead, 137 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: we're going to expand health savings accounts so you, the 138 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: individual has control over your own healthcare. 139 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: Senator, I also want to get a little preview of 140 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: something that you're working on. 141 00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: We're going to do a more. 142 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 2: Expansive show on this, but it's important that people know 143 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: that even while the government has been shut down, you 144 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 2: have been working very hard on other things. One of 145 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: those things is you have now introduced the quote Deporting 146 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 2: Fraudster's Act of twenty twenty five, and it deals with 147 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 2: snap and public benefits abuses that is costing the American 148 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,119 Speaker 2: people millions and millions of dollars. Give us a little 149 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 2: preview of this so people know what's been going on. 150 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 3: Look, this is a very simple bill. It is an 151 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: astonishing fact that right now welfare fraud, fraudulently taking government 152 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: assistance benefits is not a deportable offense under the immigration laws. 153 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 3: This law will change that and make it a deportable offense. 154 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 3: Let me give you some basic statistics. Forty eight percent 155 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 3: of households headed by illegal immigrants received food related welfare 156 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: benefits forty eight percent nearly half specifically SNAP. A CIS 157 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 3: analysis found that thirty one percent of illegal alien household 158 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: with children draw SNAP benefits. One in five households getting 159 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 3: WICIC Women's Infants and Children or SNAP is headed by 160 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 3: a non citizen, and ninety six percent of the children 161 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 3: in those households are US but born, showing how illegal 162 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 3: aliens exploit child based eligibility to access benefits indirectly. The 163 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 3: US Department of Agriculture reports one point seven six million 164 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: non citizens on SNAP in twenty twenty three. That is 165 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,959 Speaker 3: roughly three hundred and twelve million dollars in taxpayer funds. 166 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: In twenty twelve, or not twenty twelve, rather twenty twenty two, 167 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 3: it was one point five million recipients that cost two 168 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 3: hundred and twenty two million. Fraud is rampant. For example, 169 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty four, one hundred and twenty six point 170 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 3: eight million dollars was stolen from EBT cards. In Texas, 171 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,680 Speaker 3: three point seven million people, about a eleven percent of 172 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 3: the state relies on SNAP. Every stolen or unlawfully claimed 173 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 3: dollar robs a citizen family in genuine need. And according 174 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: to the CBO, about two hundred thousand illegal aliens from 175 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 3: the surge of alien asylum seekers from twenty twenty three 176 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: to twenty twenty four already received SNAP, growing to eight 177 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 3: hundred thousand by twenty thirty four, assuming no deportations. A 178 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: ten year cost. You said this cost millions. Yeah, the 179 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: ten year cost is fifteen billion dollars. And so this 180 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 3: bill is to target that and say, if you're here illegally, 181 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: you do not have any entitlement to public welfare, and 182 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 3: if you access fraudulently access public welfare, that is yet 183 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 3: another ground to deport you. 184 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: Now, Chuck Schummer's a co sponsor this bill, right. 185 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 3: No, and I feel confident that Schumer is not just 186 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: to no, he's a hello, because today's Democrat Party, it 187 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: is all for health insurance corporations, it is all for 188 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, it is all for violent criminals, it is 189 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 3: all for men and women's sports. It's all for everyone 190 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 3: except the average American citizen trying to work hard and 191 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 3: provide for his or her family. And that's exactly backwards. 192 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, 193 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast 194 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two. To say, again, 195 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: with a civil war, let's be clear. And that's part 196 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: of what I got to ask you about is there 197 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: are Democrats now that are basically like off with his 198 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 2: head and leadership. They want him gone. They're publicly saying 199 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: now you're saying, this is the end of him. 200 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: He has done. 201 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 2: MSNBC said a multiple times. CNN commentators are the same thing, 202 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: like he's done. 203 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: They got to get rid of him. His career is over. 204 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 2: This goes back to the being held hostage by the Marxists, 205 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: the socialist and the communists of the Democratic Party. Now 206 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 2: they didn't police him. Now they're running the party and 207 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: they're anarchists. And Chuck Schumer shut down the government for 208 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 2: the longest period in history of this country, and that 209 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 2: wasn't good enough for them. 210 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: And he still voted no on reopening it. So he 211 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: shut it down for the longust in history. He voted 212 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 3: no consistently, and yet they're still off with his head. 213 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 3: It really is the crazies are driving the Democrat Party. 214 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 3: And look, if you don't believe me, maybe you will 215 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: believe John Fetterman. I want you to listen to this exchange. 216 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 3: Senator John Fetterman, Democrat from Pennsylvania, was on the View 217 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 3: and Sonny, you know, one of the left wing hosts 218 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 3: there comes after him and comes after him hard. Listen 219 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 3: to her unhinged question and then listen to Fetterman's response. 220 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 4: Well. 221 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 5: Senator Bernie Sanders said the vote was a horrific mistake. 222 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 5: Governor Gavin Newsom called it pathetic and a surrender. Pole 223 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 5: after poll found more Americans on both sides of the 224 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 5: aisle blaming Republicans. Even Marjorie Taylor Green blamed the GOP. 225 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 5: As you mentioned, Democrats had big wins last week, so 226 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 5: had momentum. Why give in now? Why bring a butter 227 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 5: knife to a gunfight. Are you willing to gamble that 228 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 5: the GOLC will negotiate on healthcare is good faith once 229 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,360 Speaker 5: the government reopens, because if that gamble is wrong, half 230 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 5: a million Pennsylvanians that you represent, their healthcare cost will 231 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 5: skyrocket if you are wrong. 232 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: And I believe you are wrong. 233 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 6: Well, first of all, MTG is quite literally the last 234 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 6: person in America that I'm going to take advice or 235 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 6: to get their kinds of. 236 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 7: My leadership and values from. 237 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 6: And now if Democrats are celebrating crazy pants like that, 238 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 6: then that's on them. 239 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:42,440 Speaker 7: And now I don't need and I don't need a lecture. 240 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 6: I don't need a lecture from from whether it's Bernie 241 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 6: or the governor in California, because they are representing very 242 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 6: deep blue blue kinds of populations and a lot of 243 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 6: those things, a lot of those things were part of 244 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 6: the extreme. And I'll remember what really needs to win, 245 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 6: to win the big win is involving my state and 246 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 6: other states and those things. And why have we arrived 247 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 6: here after the election a year ago. We want to forget, 248 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 6: we got to forget some of the things that cost 249 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 6: us that election are now for me it's like, That's 250 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 6: why I'm trying to remind people that kinds of the 251 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 6: extreme newism, we can't return to those kind of things 252 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 6: and realize we need to find a way forward. And 253 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 6: I would like to rather than cite MTG, I'm going 254 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 6: to cite one of the new governor elects saying that 255 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 6: my election is not a green light to continue this shutdown, 256 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 6: because I promise you this isn't a political game. It 257 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 6: is viewed by that by many of us, but the 258 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 6: reality is forty two million Americans now not sure where 259 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 6: their next meal is going to come from, and because 260 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 6: we vote like that, vote like that or people that 261 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 6: haven't been paid for five. 262 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 7: Weeks now, and that kinds of chaos. 263 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 6: Those workers borrow more than half a billion dollars, you know, 264 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 6: from their credit union just. 265 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 2: To be there, you with him talking about paying their bills, 266 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: and I love that from Fetterman. 267 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: There. 268 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 2: They also were very quiet because I didn't think I 269 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: don't think they realized he was going to come back 270 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: with facts that way and describe it. I jokingly said 271 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: to you before the show started, when's John Fetterman going 272 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: to join the Republican Party? Because he's been speaking an 273 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 2: awful lot of truth about the reality this shutdown. 274 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 3: Well, look, I like John Fetterman, and I will tell 275 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 3: you Republicans actually treated much more nicely than the Democrats do. 276 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 3: The Democrats are mean to him, they're vicious to him. 277 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: They that they really have a deep antipathy to him. 278 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: And the amazing thing he votes the overwhelming majority of 279 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 3: the time with the Democrats. You know, he's on the 280 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 3: Commerce Committee with me. On virtually every vote he votes 281 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 3: party line with the Democrats. On most votes on the floor, 282 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 3: he votes party line with the Democrats. He has a 283 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: few defections. So he did vote to open the government, 284 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: and that's viewed is this great heresy because he didn't 285 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 3: want to have a force a government shut down and 286 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 3: hurt millions of Americans and continue the longest government shut 287 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 3: down in history. And the main area that he's been 288 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 3: willing to dissent from virtually every other congressional Democrat is 289 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 3: in support of Israel. And we've talked about before that 290 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 3: there is a real and cognizable pro Hamas caucus in 291 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party. It rose up about ten years ago. 292 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 3: The Democrats did nothing. They look the other way, and 293 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,160 Speaker 3: it's now taken over their party, and Fetterman is a 294 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 3: massive outlier because he is genuinely pro Israel. He is 295 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: vocally pro Israel, and the radicals in the Democrat Party 296 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 3: hate him for that. And again, if you don't believe me, 297 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 3: listen to what John Fetterman said on exactly this topic. 298 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 4: You are not Jewish at least as far as I know. 299 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 4: Feel free to come feel fear to come out here 300 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 4: to me right now. But you have been one of 301 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 4: the most outspoken in it's beyond Washington, it's beyond politicians. 302 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 4: You have been one of the most outspoken people in 303 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 4: American life on the issue of anti Semitism. Why is 304 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 4: this issue so important to you? 305 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 8: Ironically I did that twenty three and me I'm ninety 306 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 8: seven percent German and three percent Neanderthal, and it's like, 307 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 8: maybe it's ironic that that a big German guy from 308 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 8: Pennsylvania has been very absolutely devoted to Israel and to 309 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,439 Speaker 8: experience the kind of anti Semitism and in my life, 310 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 8: I mean, you know what, you know, the Tree of Life, 311 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,880 Speaker 8: I mean, that's that's where you're from. 312 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 7: Too. 313 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 8: Absolutely appalling, and my heart breaks for what the Jewish 314 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 8: community's suffered, especially after ten to seven I've had the 315 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 8: honor of meeting, you know, members of the hostages, former 316 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 8: people that were kept underground for five hundred days. Five 317 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 8: hundred days. I mean, those are heroes. I've met with 318 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 8: widows their husbands were lost in the Gaza War, and 319 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 8: they have eight children, raising eight children by their own. 320 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 8: That's a hero for all of it. So for me, 321 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 8: it's heartbreaking, and that's been what's so difficult for me 322 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 8: is like being devotion to Israel becoming increasingly incompatible with 323 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 8: being a proud Democrat now too, and that's put me 324 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,920 Speaker 8: at odds. And the things that put me at odds 325 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 8: have all converged at the same time, you know, the 326 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 8: Gaza War, the peace deal, and then we moved right 327 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 8: into a shutdown, you know, like now Democrats might not 328 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 8: be allowed to hold these views. 329 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 7: And I'm not changing my party, and. 330 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 8: You know, run the numbers, run the numbers, you know, 331 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 8: you would find that I'm a Democrat. 332 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 1: You know, he is a Democrat. 333 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 2: But you've walked past his Senate office countless times. I've 334 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 2: walked past it, probably dozens of times when I'm up 335 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 2: in DC, and he had all the hostage pictures up 336 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:57,959 Speaker 2: in his front office. 337 00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: Which I thought was incredible. 338 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 3: Look, he has been genuinely courageous and sincerely courageous on Israel, 339 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 3: and it's earned the absolute ire, hatred, animosity venom of 340 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 3: the radical left in the Democrat Party. I mean, you 341 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,680 Speaker 3: heard what he just said there, that that being pro 342 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 3: Israel is becoming incompatible with being a proud Democrat. I mean, 343 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 3: that's a that's a tragic statement. I wish that statement 344 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 3: were not true, but it is the biggest reason why 345 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 3: their radicals hate him and much of you know, when 346 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 3: he was first elected and he came into office, he 347 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 3: had had a stroke during the campaign and the stroke 348 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 3: was very debilitating. When when John showed up, the stroke 349 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 3: really limited Like when I first met him, what the 350 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 3: stroke did is it limited his ability to process auditory input. 351 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: So you would talk to him and his brain was 352 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 3: not able to process the words he was hearing, and 353 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 3: so he would carry with him an iPad that had 354 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 3: a translator because it just this is one of the 355 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 3: consequences that can be from a stroke, is your ability 356 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 3: to process words that you hear. Your brain just can't 357 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 3: put them together. So you would talk and he would 358 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 3: read it. But when he first got there, you would 359 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 3: talk to him, and he would literally he was not 360 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: able to understand what you were saying. And I mean 361 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: it hurt your heart. I mean, this is a is 362 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 3: a very bright man. The man's a Harvard graduate, but 363 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 3: he had a medical issue that he had real consequences. 364 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 3: Early on, the Democrats all circled around him and said, 365 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: you know, he's perfectly capable. There are no issues whatsoever. 366 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: Because they assumed he would be a left wing Democrat, 367 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 3: that's what they expected of him. That was not a 368 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 3: crazy expectation going in. And then when he started standing up, 369 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 3: particularly on Israel, standing up and defying the Prohamas caucus, 370 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 3: you started seeing the Democrats leaking and planning stories and 371 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 3: really attacking his mental capability. And the irony is, look 372 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 3: you heard in those exchanges. He's now able to have 373 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: a conversation. He still is a little halting in his communication. 374 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 3: I think that's some of the aftermath of the stroke. 375 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 3: But the difference is night and day. You can now 376 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 3: have a conversation and he can hear you in a 377 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: way that when he showed up in the Senate he 378 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 3: was not able to. And yet Democrats are running to 379 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 3: reporters to plant negative stories attacking him. Many of his 380 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 3: colleagues want to drive him out of the party, and 381 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: at least on the Republican side, I like John and 382 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 3: I think consistently all the Republicans are just trying to 383 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: be nice to him. By the way, they did the 384 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 3: same thing to Joe Manchin. They did the same thing 385 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 3: to Kirsten Cinemon. They succeeded in driving both of them 386 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 3: out of the party because they want no dissent. You 387 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 3: must obey and follow orders or they'll do everything they 388 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,360 Speaker 3: can to drive you out. To be honest, both Cinema 389 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 3: and mentioned I think Republicans were much nicer to than 390 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 3: Democrats were, and the consequence was they were both driven 391 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 3: out of the party. 392 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: As before. 393 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation 394 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 2: on this topic, you can go back and down the 395 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 2: podcasts from early this week to hear the entire thing. 396 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: I want to get back to the big story number 397 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 2: three of the week you may have missed, all right, 398 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 2: I want to end the show with talking about something 399 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 2: else that is really made me sad this week. It's 400 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 2: also i think, really telling you where we are as 401 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: a country with the radical left. We have seen violent 402 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: protesters at a Turning Point US USA event at UC Berkeley. 403 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 2: I wish it wasn't what we witnessed, but it was 404 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 2: radical leftists. I want to know who's funding them, Senator, 405 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: I want to know who's behind this. But it is 406 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: shocking to see this level of rhetoric and attacks on 407 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 2: conservatives who are just going to have a conversation. And 408 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,480 Speaker 2: it's very eeriely close to what we witnessed with the 409 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: assassination of Charlie Kirk. 410 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 7: Yeah. 411 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 3: Look, the pattern of left wing violence continues, and it 412 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 3: continues across the country, and it continues with with the 413 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 3: acquiescence and support of of many on the far left. 414 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: Far too many on the far left. 415 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 7: Uh. 416 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 3: This week, Turning Point USA had a rally at UC Berkeley. Now, 417 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 3: the speakers at the rally were doctor Frank Turik, who's 418 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 3: a Christian pastor, and Rob Schneider, who's a comedian and actor. 419 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 3: So it's it's not like either of these speakers were 420 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 3: particularly controversial in any normal or sane place. But but 421 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 3: UC Berkeley is not necessarily a normal or sane place, 422 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,640 Speaker 3: and and Antifa targeted them, targeted the people coming into 423 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: the rally coming in to see to to see listen 424 00:23:56,119 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 3: to the speakers and they were violent. Let me read 425 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: how Fox covered it. A bloody fight broke out near 426 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 3: the University of California, Berkeley on Monday afternoon ahead of 427 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 3: a Turning Point USA event on campus. The event, which 428 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 3: featured doctor Frank Turk and Rob Schneider, marked the end 429 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 3: of the This Is Turning Point tour. It took place 430 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: just two months after Turning Point USA's founder Charlie Kirk 431 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 3: was assassinated at a campus event in Utah on September tenth. 432 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 3: The confrontation erupted around four thirty pm Pacific Standard time. 433 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: During the brawl, two men were seen fighting each other, 434 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 3: one of whom had blood gushing from his face and 435 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: you can watch the video. Video taken by Fox News 436 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 3: Digital also shows a crowd of agitators gathered around the fight. 437 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 3: These were left wing antifa activists. They were chanting obscene 438 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 3: chants that they were celebrating that Charlie Kirk had been 439 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 3: They were chanting how happy they are about that. Most 440 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:11,159 Speaker 3: of them had masks and it. You can watch the 441 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 3: video online of one of the people coming to the 442 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: Turning Point event who they beat the hell out of 443 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 3: him and his face is bleeding profusely, and they engaged 444 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 3: in violence. And I'll tell you what is frustrating is 445 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 3: where was the administration of Berkeley? Where was the police? 446 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: Why are they allowing violent protesters? And look, these are 447 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 3: the same administrators. This is the same faculty that allowed 448 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 3: their campuses to be taken over for weeks and months 449 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 3: on end by radical anti Semitic protesters, by antifa communists 450 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 3: who again engage in threats of violence. And in both instances, 451 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 3: these are not organic. They're being paid for. There is 452 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: I've been saying for a long time, follow the money. 453 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,120 Speaker 3: I've been urging the Department of Justice in the FBI 454 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 3: to follow the money. I've introduced legislation, the Stop Funders 455 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 3: Act to add rioting as a predicate act to RICO 456 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 3: to let us go after the money that is behind 457 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,160 Speaker 3: these violent anarchists. And I'll tell you what's being reported now. 458 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 3: This is another story. Fox News covered UC Berkeley's bloody 459 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 3: protest of Turning Point USA, allegedly funded by far left nonprofit. 460 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:29,479 Speaker 3: Attorney General Pambondi opens anti terrorism investigation into campus clash 461 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 3: outside Turning Point USA event. And here's what Fox reports. 462 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 3: Last month, a band of demonstrators marched across West Temple 463 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 3: Street in downtown Los Angeles in the national anti Trump 464 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 3: No King's protest, carrying a banner that read, defeat Trump's 465 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: fascist takeover, stop ice raids and deportations by any means necessary, 466 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: and in one corner, four bold letters stood out B 467 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 3: A N, an acronym for by any means necessary. The 468 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 3: rest of the banner spelled out clues to the group's 469 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 3: full name and smaller print quote Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, 470 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: integration and immigration rights and fight for equality by any 471 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: means necessary. That organization one of two hundred and sixty 472 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 3: six groups with combined annual revenues of two point nine 473 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 3: billion dollars two point nine billion dollars identified by Fox 474 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 3: News Digital leading the No King's protests, would soon reappear 475 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 3: at this week's flashpoint on the campus of University of California, Berkeley. 476 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 3: And so this group. A flyer circulated before the demonstration 477 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 3: urged participants to quote end fascist turning points, youth oriented 478 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 3: campaign of incitement to violence. Now ironically they're accusing turning 479 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 3: point of incitement to violence, and they show up and 480 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 3: violently assault the people who are going to turning point. 481 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 3: This is it's it's classic Marxist technique of projecting and 482 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 3: accusing your opponents of doing what you're doing. And and 483 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:14,120 Speaker 3: and this flier announced a rally outside of Zellerbach Hall 484 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 3: an hour before the door's open for the event. Well, 485 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,920 Speaker 3: the good news, UH is and and and a QR 486 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 3: page printed on the flyer leads to a page on 487 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 3: b A m N dot com, which is a domain 488 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 3: of this group that was helping fund the No Kings rallies. 489 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 3: And so there is an entire ecosystem with money flowing 490 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 3: to promote violence. And thankfully, the Department of Justice under 491 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 3: Pambondi has announced that they're doing an anti terrorism investigation 492 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 3: to go after to follow the money. And I'll tell 493 00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 3: you also, UH, the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights 494 00:28:54,680 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 3: UH is questioning is question why Berkeley allowed this to happen. 495 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 3: In fact, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Arment Dylan 496 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 3: formally demanded that you see Berkeley preserve all records regarding 497 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 3: their response to the mob violence UH at at Berkeley's 498 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 3: Turning Point USA event, all records good.
