It is 6 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,439 Speaker 2: uh what is today? Today is Tuesday. It's pouring rain 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 2: here and definitely starting to feel like school is back 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 2: in session. I remember that when I was a kid 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 2: in the weather, he used to get colder, like at 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: the end of the summer, and I'd be super sacked. 11 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 2: I was like, it's over, We're going back. I mean, 12 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 2: I was a nerd. I like school, but still I 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 2: hate it going back. And now I got four kids, 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: two of them in college and two going back to 15 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: school next week and the week after, so we're in 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: full school mode here at my house. And I have 17 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: to say, you know, I was looking at all the 18 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 2: things that are happening in DC and a lot of 19 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: these people taking their kids back to school and going 20 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 2: to work and walking around and they don't have to 21 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 2: walk over homeless people and drug addicts and needles and 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 2: you know, feces and urine all over their streets, and 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: then you got these lunatics that are protesting and saying 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 2: that it's you know, it's Nazis, it's Hitler, it's it's 25 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 2: a takeover because of the fact that President Trump is 26 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: federalizing control of the city. Now here's what's interesting about this, 27 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 2: right some of you may have heard of this woman, Anagiratelli. 28 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 2: She is a Washington Examiner Department of Homeland Security reporter. 29 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:37,919 Speaker 2: She was sexually assaulted in twenty twenty and talked about 30 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: how her assault was not even entered into the records 31 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,960 Speaker 2: because they manipulate the statistical data of the crime in DC. 32 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: And the former police chief is now an administrative leave 33 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 2: as they look into this manipulation. The Department of Justice 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: is finally taking it upon themselves to figure out what 35 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 2: the hell is going on. But all of the local 36 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 2: people that live in the DC metro and if any 37 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 2: of you have ever been to our nation's capital, you know, 38 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: you walk through Union Station, it's just it's terrible. It's 39 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: tons of drug addicts, homeless people. It smells terrible. You 40 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: literally cannot go five feet without walking over someone or 41 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 2: bumping into someone, or having someone to you know, come 42 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: up and beg from you, and then you go outside 43 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: and it's no better. Their homeless encampments are everywhere. They're 44 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: all over, you know, the National Mall. It's it's really, 45 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,959 Speaker 2: first of all, it's sad, right because a lot of 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: these people that are homeless have mental illness, so they're outside. 47 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: They have no place to go because of the fact 48 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 2: that they are struggling. They're struggling with mental illness. And 49 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 2: we've closed down a lot of those facilities because Democrat 50 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: administrations like to take all of our tax dollars and 51 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 2: allocate them to foreign invaders and illegal immigrants instead of 52 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 2: giving them to our veterans with post traumatic stress disorder 53 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 2: or to people who have struggled their whole life with 54 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 2: mental health, whether it's bipolari schizophrenia, and now they're out 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: on the sh streets because they actually can't find work 56 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: because they are not of sound mind. They should be 57 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 2: an assistant living, they should be in a mental institution. 58 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 2: They should be taking some sort of you know, medicine 59 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: so that they could regulate their various their various issues. 60 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: It's just it's just sad, and it just goes back 61 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 2: to like the main issue, right, like if we don't 62 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: start taking care of our own, from our veterans, to 63 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 2: our homeless, to our women and children, to our elderly, 64 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 2: we are going to lose our country. And if you 65 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: look around and you see people defending Sharia law, Islamic 66 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,040 Speaker 2: centers and illegal immigrants and they want to attack ICE officers, 67 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: we have people within Congress that are docksing ICE officers 68 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: and telling you where they're going to be and hide 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: from them. You know, this is it's just beyond the pale. 70 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 2: If you don't want to be here and you don't 71 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: want to live the way that we live, and you 72 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 2: don't want to adhere to our laws, that's fine. No 73 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 2: one's keeping you here. I promise you don't let the 74 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 2: door hit you on the way, you know, in the 75 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 2: ass on the way out. Oh now, please immediately. This 76 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: is a massive issue that we have in the United 77 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: States of America. And to that point, the President even 78 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 2: said today he's having various people go into the museums 79 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 2: and the Smithsonian, et cetera, and looking around to see 80 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: what they're teaching our kids when they go on these 81 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 2: school trips to these various you know, establishments that get 82 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: all this taxpayer funding and they're in there just bashing 83 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: the history of America. This is the greatest country in 84 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: the world, you know, and this whole idea of like 85 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: we're a melting pot, We're not really a melting pot. 86 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: We're like a bunch of melting pots kind of sitting 87 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 2: next to each other, and sometimes we're mingle and sometimes 88 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: we don't, and we're kind of doing our best. But 89 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: we are definitely the nation in the world that has 90 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: really given the most freedom to its people and done 91 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: its best to not sort of control the people beyond 92 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: what we consider to be a defensible manner. Right. We're 93 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: not trying to tell people how to live their lives 94 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 2: in their home. We want you to do the right thing. 95 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 2: Don't her puppies, don't hurt babies, you know, if you 96 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: want to celebrate your culture in your house. But we 97 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: don't need the call to prayer five times a day 98 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 2: like they're doing in different places in Michigan and Minnesota 99 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: and Texas right now. That's not what America is about. 100 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: We're a Judeo Christian nation. We want you to live 101 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 2: and prosper. We want you to build businesses, be an 102 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,479 Speaker 2: entrepreneurial work for an entrepreneur, work for a great company, 103 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 2: become a tradesman, all the things. But this whole idea 104 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 2: of I'm going to come to America, I'm going to 105 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 2: live off the dole. And that's what America is all about. 106 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: You know, the money is just falling from the trees. 107 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: It's actually not falling from the trees. It's off of 108 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: the backs of people like myself, my husband and our 109 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: families who put in, you know, fifteen twenty hour days 110 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 2: doing various jobs trying to make the rent work. And 111 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: things are ridiculously expensive, whether it's health insurance or the 112 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: subways or a track or your highway costs. You know, 113 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: all these things are increasing. And why is it increasing 114 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 2: Because we're taking care of too many peace people who 115 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: are just depleting the system. They don't put anything in. 116 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: They take, they take, they take. And finally we have 117 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: a president who's like, hey, I have a new idea. 118 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: If you're on government benefits, if you're on welfare, food stamps, 119 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 2: assistance of any kind, and you are of you know, 120 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: sound body and mind, how about you earn a little 121 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: bit of what you're taking. How about that? You know, 122 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: there's nothing I love to see more than no ebt 123 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: on all of the fancy coffees, the expensive soft drinks, 124 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 2: the snacks that are no good for you, and then 125 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: things that are covered that are good for you, you know, 126 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: sort of like the staples of life, eggs, bread, milk, 127 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 2: cereal for your kids, et cetera. These are the things 128 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,359 Speaker 2: that should be covered by food stamps. And it's so 129 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: great to finally see somebody saying, yeah, that's actually not 130 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: covered and we're not going to do that for you. 131 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: I can't even tell you how happy it makes me. 132 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 2: And all these people they're losing their minds. I mean 133 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 2: they're absolutely out of their minds and they're like, what 134 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 2: do you mean I have to work for the money 135 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: that the government's giving me. I don't know, that's what 136 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: the rest of us do. Where do you think the 137 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 2: money that you're getting comes from? I mean, really that 138 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 2: this is the thing that drives me. Banana is the 139 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 2: most I want you to take a listen to this woman. 140 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 2: She's on government assistance. She gets the maximum allowable amount. 141 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 2: She has three children, and she is baffled by the 142 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 2: fact that she has to allocate some of her time 143 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: to actually giving a little back for all that she gets. 144 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 2: Just take a listen. 145 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 3: Can someone please help me make sense of this. I've 146 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 3: been receiving food stamps for the last seven years consistently. 147 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: I just receive a letter in the mail telling me 148 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: that I now have to do community service hours at 149 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: least at least fifteen hours a week. I have to 150 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: take out of my time things that I do every 151 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: day to do community service so that I can still 152 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 3: continue to receive the benefits that I receive. Mind you, 153 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: I am receiving the maximum benefit. I get two thousand 154 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: dollars in food stamps a month, but that is only 155 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 3: because I have three kids. Now, how do they expect 156 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 3: me to be able to do community service hours if 157 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 3: I can't even get a regular job. So I'm at 158 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 3: risk of losing my food Stap benefits because I'm not 159 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: putting an effort. 160 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: Are you serious? Yes, we're serious. Here's a novel idea. 161 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 2: Why don't you try working like the rest of us. 162 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: This whole idea of I can't find a job. How 163 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 2: can you not find a job? I mean, honestly, you 164 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 2: cannot go within even a few feet without finding a 165 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 2: help wanted sign. Everybody's hiring. Everyone is hiring, and if 166 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: you are unable to find a job. Well, then you 167 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: are the problem. Maybe you need to look at yourself. 168 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 2: Maybe you need to do something that you weren't intending 169 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 2: on doing so that you could pay your bills. And 170 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 2: I can't tell you how many times I've had this 171 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: conversation with people who were on benefits and I'm like, 172 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: so get a part time job at least, and I 173 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 2: get the same thing. Well, I can't take too much 174 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 2: because then I won't be able to get my benefits. 175 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 2: What this is, This is the concept we don't want 176 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: to make too much money because we don't want them 177 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 2: to take away our money. It's not your money, that's 178 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars. You know, there's a movie called The Cinderella 179 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 2: Man with Russell Crowe. It's really old. It's one of 180 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: my favorites. I absolutely love it. And he does this, 181 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 2: you know, it shows you know, that was right around 182 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: the nineteen twenty nine stock market crash. And he's a boxer. 183 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 2: He lost all his money in the stock market and 184 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 2: he's in really bad shape. So, long story short, he 185 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 2: goes to government assistance. He's standing on the line and 186 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 2: he's got to get government assistants because he can't get work. 187 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: And the woman who gives him the money was like, oh, 188 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 2: I can't believe you're here and chastises him, which really 189 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 2: is that what he needed at that moment. But anyways, 190 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 2: fast forward in the movie. You know, he's back in 191 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 2: the black things are doing good and he takes the 192 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: money back and the government assistance worker, who like made 193 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: fun of him, was like, what are you doing here? 194 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 2: And he's like, I believe I live in the greatest 195 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 2: country in the world. Who will help a man when 196 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 2: he's down, And I'm here to repay the favor. That's 197 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: the concept. The concept is not cradle to grave, be 198 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 2: on the dole. The concept is, uh, oh I've hit 199 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: a rough patch. I need a little help, you know. 200 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 2: I personally feel blessed that as hard as my upbringing was, 201 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: and as hard as my mom worked and did everything 202 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: she did, God bless her for us, we never took 203 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: government assistance. At our lowest of low my mom was like, 204 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 2: I can do it. I can work. She was working 205 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: two three jobs, working around the clock, never sleeping. I 206 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 2: started babysitting when I was ten. I started and I 207 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 2: got my part time working papers I think when I 208 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: was thirteen or fourteen, sorry, working in the stores, go 209 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,559 Speaker 2: to school all day, work all night, do your homework. 210 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 2: You know, that's a work ethic that you have to 211 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 2: be brought up with. You have to teach your kids. 212 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 2: You know, life is hard, but if you work hard, 213 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: you'll be rewarded and you'll be able to live a 214 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: life where when you take those breaks and you take 215 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: those moments, you're happy. And that seems to be lost 216 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: on you know, a lot of these generations, especially the 217 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 2: boomer generation. You know, these protesters that are down there 218 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 2: screaming at President Vice President Vance and Secretary of Defense 219 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 2: Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller. You know, they're going to 220 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 2: you know, they're in the Capitol and they're you know, 221 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: they're welcoming the National Guard and they're thanking them for 222 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 2: their assistance and they're thanking them for their time. And 223 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 2: there's these hecklers screaming, I mean literally screaming at them 224 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 2: because they're mad that they're there. Meanwhile, the hecklers are 225 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: all old white people. The DC Metro is almost I 226 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: think it's like eighty five or ninety percent black. Who 227 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 2: are you to talk about the DC Metro community and 228 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 2: the crime and the trauma that they face every day, 229 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: just trying to go about their day. Where do you live? 230 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 2: And that's the problem. You talk to them where you're from. 231 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: This one's from Markansas, This one's from Colorado, This one's 232 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: from California, This one's from New York. None of these 233 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: people are local. They don't know what it's like to 234 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 2: live in these communities. It's absolutely incredible. I will say, 235 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: you know, Stephen Miller, he roasted them and it was 236 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 2: very well done. 237 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,240 Speaker 4: First of all, thank you're the Vice president for bringing 238 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 4: us here today.

Here's the most important point. There are 241 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 4: residents who lived in Washington, d C. Their entire lives. 242 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 4: Their parents lived here, their grandparents lived here, and they 243 00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 4: have lived for generations in intolerable conditions of I'm in decay. 244 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 4: There are parts of the city I moved to the 245 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 4: city twenty years ago. There are places where I've seen 246 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 4: graffiti that has been untouched for two decades. There are 247 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 4: homeless encampments that have made it impossible for families to 248 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 4: use public parks and public recreation for as long as 249 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: I've lived here. There are hundreds of residents of this 250 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 4: city who are shot in street violence every single year, 251 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,439 Speaker 4: making it among the most violent cities on planet Earth. 252 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 4: And for too long, ninety nine percent of this city 253 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 4: has been terrorized by one percent. 254 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 5: Of the city. 255 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 4: And the voices that you hear out there, those crazy communists, 256 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 4: they have no roots, they have no connections to the city. 257 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 4: They have no families they are raising this city. They 258 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 4: have no one that they are sending to school in 259 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 4: this city, they have no jobs in the city, they 260 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 4: have no connections to this community at all.

I was 334 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: talking about this today with a friend and we were 335 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: looking at this little one year old that was shot. 336 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 2: She's still in the hospital in a coma. She's a baby, 337 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 2: a one year old little baby. Yes, she's black, she's 338 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,400 Speaker 2: a black little baby. Where are all the people there? 339 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: Where's BLM? Now you don't care about her, she doesn't matter. 340 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: You're not going to march in the street for that 341 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: little soul and pray that she pulls through. Oh no, 342 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,600 Speaker 2: that doesn't work for the mantra. Right, we need a 343 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: bunch of double white people standing around talking trash about 344 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 2: a city they don't live in, an issue they don't 345 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 2: care about, and just getting their pay to play for 346 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 2: that moment. I mean, what a crock of shit. It's infuriating. 347 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 2: So I thought I would get a few pieces of 348 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: audio of people that actually live in DC. Every one 349 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 2: of these people is black. Every one of these people 350 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,959 Speaker 2: is talking about how they live in the metro and 351 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 2: they will express to you how they're feeling about what 352 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: is happening. I think it's a good thing because, you 353 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, it's better for the community and 354 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 2: safer for the kids. 355 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 4: Stop the violence. 356 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, us and not slugs. 357 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 6: I enjoy having extra security. 358 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 5: I think it's a good thing. 359 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you want to feel safe when you're out 360 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 2: and about, especially females. 361 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 5: It's a good thing because it actually reinforces the fact 362 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 5: that America is secure, safe, stable. 363 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: Elliot Rea says he supports the federal involvement. 364 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 5: As a moderate. As a centrist, I think something needs 365 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 5: to be done. I have three kids, I'm about to 366 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 5: start teaching next week. I wanted to be saved. 367 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 6: Do you not understand that this is what the residents want. 368 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 6: I'm not talking about the bougie upper Echelon's bougie blacks. 369 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 6: I'm talking about the everyday grandmas that have to deal 370 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 6: with these homeless people peeing and pooping on their steps 371 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 6: and then they have to clean it up. They don't 372 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 6: feel safe when they walk into their neighborhood. The gangs 373 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,679 Speaker 6: and the drug the dope boys are just standing around 374 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 6: the corner, you know, like, do you not understand this 375 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 6: is what they want? I remember working with the community 376 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 6: leader and somebody had just gotten shot. This is like 377 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 6: five years ago, and I remember her praying and she 378 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 6: said Crystal, We're gonna have to invoke the National Guard, 379 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 6: And that was so foreign to me. 380 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: Now I understand the shit. These people are helpless. 381 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 6: And I'm not talking about the boo she black people 382 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 6: that live in their gated communities with their new bills. 383 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 6: I'm talking about the everyday grandmothers, and I'm so glad 384 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 6: that President Trump cares about them. 385 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: Isn't that funny to hear from people that actually live there, 386 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 2: that are telling you, you know, I'm a moderate, I'm 387 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: a centrist. You know, I'm just out and about trying 388 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 2: to live my life. And they're being very, very honest 389 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 2: about the fact that they're happy about what President Trump 390 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 2: is doing. They're grateful that somebody finally took notice and said, 391 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 2: instead of just saying we can do something and not 392 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 2: actually being able to do something, how about we do 393 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 2: something because we can. That's what the National Guard is for. 394 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 2: The National Guard is to protect and guard our national treasures. 395 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: What's more important than our people. That's what they're there for. 396 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: We need them. We need them now more than ever, 397 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 2: I'll tell you that much. And I think it's absolutely 398 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 2: incredible that we were able to get to a spot 399 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: where we could honestly and truthfully bring people in to 400 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 2: protect those people who actually live in Washington, d C. 401 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 2: And God bless Stephen Miller for calling it out like 402 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 2: it is, because it is a load of shit to 403 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 2: say that this is some sort of federal takeover and 404 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 2: it's the oppression of the people. It's actually the exact opposite. 405 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,879 Speaker 2: And we need to find answers for all those homeless encampments, 406 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: all those people that lived in those encampments. We need 407 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: to find answers. We need to find facilities and resources 408 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: to get those folks back back on their feet. We 409 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 2: want to help them be productive members of society. We 410 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: want to help them stop taking and leeching off of 411 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 2: the government or turning to the absolute worst resort, which 412 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 2: is living in the cold on the streets. It's cold 413 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 2: in DC in the winter. That's what these people should 414 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 2: be out there protesting about. Maybe stop holding your sign, 415 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 2: get your hands dirty, go volunteer at a homeless shelter. 416 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 2: To go volunteer and help these people out doing the cleanup. 417 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 2: Get into the weeds. If you really want to know 418 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 2: what's going on, go there and find out. You're screaming 419 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: and crying about a bunch of nonsense, because the people 420 00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 2: that live there are grateful, So why don't you go 421 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 2: back home, like this woman just said, to your bougie 422 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 2: gated community and shut up. Do us all a favorite. Please? 423 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 2: This has been the Roague Recap. I am Linda McLaughlin. 424 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: Thank you as always for being here. Please follow us 425 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: at Linda Mick at the Rogue Recap. Actually it's at 426 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,400 Speaker 2: Roague Recap. I keep saying that, but it's at Rogue Recap. 427 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 2: We will be back tomorrow with more news. I think 428 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: tomorrow I'm going to do an expose on our communist 429 00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: Congress people. We have so many of them, and most 430 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 2: of them are from other countries. I don't even think 431 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 2: they should be allowed to be in Congress. And I 432 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,959 Speaker 2: definitely don't think anybody should be in Congress that trashes 433 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 2: America and says they love their home country more than 434 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 2: they love America. So we'll do a whole show on 435 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,160 Speaker 2: that tomorrow. Stay safe, everybody, have a good night. We'll 436 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 2: see then 437 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 4: Astat AFT at
