Shutdown Dems Gaslight, claiming they DON'T Want Free Healthcare for Illegals, plus Fighting the Crime Epidemic in Blue Cities · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Center, Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson with
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: you as well. We are right in the middle of
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: a government shut down that Democrats were yearning for.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: It's the Schumer shut down.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: But there's also a lot of misinformation or as I
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: like to call it, lies that are coming out of
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: this shutdown, and things that Democrats are accusing Republicans are
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: that just aren't true, and we're going to cover that
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: today as well.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Well. The Schumer shutdown continues. The federal government is partially
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: shut down. Between seventeen and eighteen percent of the federal
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: government is closed. It's going to stay closed as long
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: as the Democrats continue their temper tantrum. But at the
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: same time, we're also getting a bit of a history lesson.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Seventy six years ago, George Orwell wrote the classic book
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four about the oppressive totalitarian government he perceived
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: of the future, and also about Orwellian doublespeak. And I
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: got to say, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats in Congress
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: are doing an illustration of this now. They are gaslighting
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: the American people. They are attempting to argue things that
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: are simply false. In particular, to shift from a book
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: to a movie like Casablanca. They are shocked, shocked to
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: find there's gambling, and they're shocked shocked to find that
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: anyone is saying that they want free, taxpayer provided health
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: care for illegal aliens. Well, the nice thing about this
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: podcast is is that we bring the receipts. So we're
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: going to lay out the actual facts because the Democrats
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: are gaslighting, the media is gaslighting, and the facts are
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: clear that this is the Schumer shutdown and it's going
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: to end when they cave. We're also going to talk
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: about a hearing that was in the Senate Judiciary Committee
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: this past week focused on rising crime and the horrific
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: murder rates and crime rates in blue cities and the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Democrat policies of releasing violent criminals that endanger their citizens.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Democrats have decided they are all in not in support
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: of protecting innocent families, but rather in support of the
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: murderers and rapists and child molesters that Soros DA's are
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: releasing onto the streets. We're going to break those facts
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: down as well, and finally, we're going to talk about
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: the continued pattern of left wing ideologically motivated violence whether
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: it is attacks on ICE agents and ICE facilities, or
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: whether it is yet another horrific anti Semitic attack in
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Great Britain. Over and over again we see the extreme
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: rhetoric from the left has deadly real world consequences. All
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: of that on today's podcast.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really it's going to be interesting to look
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: at what we're witnessing now and how the world's reacting
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to it as well. Want to tell you real quick
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: though about our awesome sponsor, and that is Patriot Mobile.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I have got a cell phone and I can tell
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: you I've been using now Patriot Mobile for years. And
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the reason why is because I know that my dollars
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: are going to a company that are not actually fighting
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: against my Christian values. Patriot Mobiles started more than a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: decade ago by a group of conservatives that found out
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: where their money was going with Big Mobile. They didn't understand,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: and you may not realize just how bad it's gotten.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Big Mobile gets big donations to hard core leftist causes,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: organizations and groups that actually support and pay for abortions.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: For example, if you don't want your money going there,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: you now have an option. It's Patriot Mobile. They give
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you amazing nationwide coverage. I travel all the time, and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I love the coverage I get with Patrio Mobile because
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: they're on all three major networks. That also means that
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you are going to get the coverage you're used to,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: if not even better coverage when you switch.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: But here's where the magic happens. Every time you pay your.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Bill, they take about five percent of that bill at
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: no extra costs to you, and they give it back
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: to conservative causes that fight for our First and our
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Second Amendment rights, that fight for the rights of unborn children,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: and also that support and advocate the families of fallen soldiers,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: wounded warriors, and our men and women that wear a badge.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: So if you want to make a difference with every
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: call you make, with every text you send, then switch

  Speaker 2: com slash vertict or nine seven to two Patriot. All right,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: so let's just give a quick overview of the shutdown,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: real quick center for people that are just joining us.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: This shutdown was premeditated. It was well thought out and
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: organized by the left. And this is all because Chuck
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Schumer need to say, hey, crazy, he's in the Democratic Party.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: I promise I'm crazy. Please AOC don't primary me, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you don't get rid of me as being your leader.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm not sure I would say it was well
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: thought out, but it was certainly premeditied. And you're right.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: You put your finger on the reason, which is Chuck
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Schumer and the Democrats have a political crisis. And the
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: political crisis actually has nothing to do with government funding.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: It has to do with the rise of the extreme
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: left in the Democrat Party and Schumer. Several months ago,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Schumer worked with Republicans to keep the government open and
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: that was the responsible thing to do, and so of
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: course the crazy left wing fringe got furious and they
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: almost cost him his job. And in fact it's striking
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: Democrat Senate candidates all across the country are being asked,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: do you support Chuck Schumer to be leader of the
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Democrat Party, And to a person, not a one of
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: them is saying yes. Nobody's saying yes. It's that bad.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: AOC is breathing down his neck, he's looking over his
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: left shoulder at her. And so this shut down is
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: really Schumer beating his chest and saying, see, I hate
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump too. I can shut the whole federal government down,
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: aren't I tough?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: What's interesting he doesn't have an exit ramp. He doesn't
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: have a plan to end this. This is just a
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: temper tantrum. And amazingly, almost all the Democrats are standing
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: with him, all but three. The first couple of times
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: we voted, all but three Democrats voted shut the government down. Now,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the ostensible policy demand they're making is they want free,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: taxpayer provided health care for illegal aliens. Although the amazing
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: thing I mentioned nineteen eighty four a minute ago, they
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: are engaged in doublespeak where Democrats are going on TV
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: and saying no, no, no, we don't want free health care
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: for illegals. That's not remotely what this is about. And
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: the media CNN, boy, they are spinning so fast that
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: they are like windmills in a tornado. They're spinning so fast.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: So I'm going to give you three compelling reasons to
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: demonstrate that they are utterly full of crap when they
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: are lying to you. Reason number one, the actual text
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: of the Democrats CR. Now, what's a CR. A CR
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: is a continuing resolution. It is legislation that keeps funding
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: for the government going. The House representatives controlled by Republicans
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: past what's called a clean CR. That means all the
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: House did is say the funding that we had a
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: couple of days ago keeps on going tomorrow. We fund
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: everything at exactly the same levels. We change nothing, We
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: just keep the lights on. We don't shut the government down.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: We keep going. That's what the House passed. Now, when
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden was president, do you know how many times
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Republicans worked with Democrats to pass a clean CR and
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: keep the government open for Joe Biden?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: More than a dozen if I remember correctly.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Thirteen thirteen times the House is passed a clean CR
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the Senate. We voted repeatedly on the clean CR. If
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: the Democrats voted yes, boom, the government would stay open.
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: What they've done instead is they have not a clean CR.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: They have a CR that keeps government open. But it
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: also repeals major portions of the One Big Beautiful Bill
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: and in particular provides for healthcare free taxpayer healthcare for illegals. Now,
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: let me read you the text from the Democrat CR.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: On page fifty six of the Democrat R. It says,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: Subtitle B of Title seven of the Act, titled an
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Act to Provide for Reconciliation pursuant to Title two of
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: h Conreds fourteen Public Law one nineteen twenty one, is repealed,
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: and any law or regulation referred to in such subtitles
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: shall be applied as if such subtitle and the amendments
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: made by such subtitle had not been enacted. In no
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: event shall payment be made to a state under this
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: section for medical assistance furnished to an individual unless such
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: individual is a a resident of one of the fifty States,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: the District of Columbia, or a territory of the United States,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: and b either a citizen or national of the United States,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: or an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residency. That's the
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: language they're repealing. It says you have to be a
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: US citizen or a legal immigrant to be eligible for medicaid.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: That's the language they want to repeal. I'll tell you
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: what else they want to repeal. They want to repeal
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: section seven to one to one zero nine, entitled Alien
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Medicaid Eligibility. That's further language that makes clear that illegal
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: aliens are not eligible for Medicaid. They also want to
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: eliminate section seven one two oh one, limiting medicaid coverage
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: of certain individuals. They want to eliminate section seventy one
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: to three to OZHO three, requiring verification of eligibility for
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: premium tax credit. All of that is what they're trying
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: to get rid of. That's number one on the express
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: terms of what they're doing. Here's a second point. Every
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: time you see a Democrat or anyone from the corporate
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: media aligning to you and say Democrats don't want to
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: prove free health care free illegals, I want you to
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: remember the debate in the presidential election with all the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Democrat candidates. Now, for those of you watching on YouTube,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: you're about to see it. But if you're not watching
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: on YouTube, just listen and we'll describe what happens here.
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: Give a listen and give a watch.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Raise your handed government, if your government plan would provide
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: coverage for undocumented immigrants.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That's everybody center everyday for those of.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: You all just listening, listening on radio or listening on podcasts.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Every single Democrat candidate, every one of them, raise their hand.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Poor Joe Biden, he looks around, he's a little sort
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: of scared, and he's the last one whose hands shakily
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: goes up when he realizes, uh oh, my party is
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: now all crazy people. This is what we have to say.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: So just I promise you, if you turn on the TV,
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: you're going to see Democrats lying to you saying we
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: don't want health care free illegals. All of them. There
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: was not a single candidate for president who disagreed. That
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: is the position of the party across the board. But
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: here's argument number three. If they didn't want free health
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: care for illegals, why are they shutting down the government
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: that they say right now? Well, existing law prohibits providing
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: health care to illegals, and they're deliberately lying to you.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: If that's true, why would they want to repeal the
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: language from the Reconciliation bill that blocked illegals from getting
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: the benefits. The reason they're going all in, the reason
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: they're willing to shut the entire federal government down, is
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: they've made the decision that their party is all about
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: open borders and free stuff for everyone, especially illegals. I
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: don't understand why. I genuinely don't understand why today's Democrats
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: have decided they care more about helping illegal immigrants in
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: this country and in some instances, violent criminals and gangbangers,
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: then they do American taxpayers. Then they do American citizens
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: who go and work hard, provide for their family, pay taxes.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: And apparently they do all of that in order to
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: give free health care to illegals. And by the way,
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: remember this also, you know, because they admit it, both
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: California and New York provide free health care to illegals.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Gavin Newsom campaigned on this. He was very proud of
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: saying We're going to give free health care to illegals.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: And here's one of the games that Senate Democrats are
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: playing is California says it pays for the health care
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: for illegals with state funds, but money is fungible, and
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: so the federal government is flowing money into California, they
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: use it, they fill one bucket with it, and they
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: use state money for the illegals. But it all goes
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: to the same effect. That is why the Democrats are
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: willing to force a government shutdown, and they have forced
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: to government shut down because the eligibility requirements of the
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: One Big Beautiful Bill have real teeth to them, and
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are panicking about it. If they had no teeth,
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: if this wasn't happening, why would they throw this gigantic fight.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: It makes no sense. And the Democrats know this.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they certainly do as well.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: And this goes back to why I think it's shocking
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Democrats are still digging in on this shutdown center, and
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: that is because the American people are not behind this.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: They don't support it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: Even almost fifty percent of Democrats it's upper forties now
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: of Democrats say they're not in favor of this shutdown.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: So this really does go back to what you and
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: I were talking about a moment ago. This is all
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer's shutting down the US government to try to
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: save his own political future.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: Look, that is exactly right. And if you're not inclined
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: to believe me, if you're not inclined to believe Ben,
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: take a listen to Chris Cuomo fact checking the Democrat
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: lies on.
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: This is not true.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: The Republican partisan spending bill that they introduced is not clean. Well,
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: first of all, let's be clear, it's not a clean bill.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: It's a dirty bill. Well, that's all a lie. It's
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: not a clean continuing resolution.
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: Listen, I like how keem Jeffries. I think he's got
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: an amazing future. He's got better fights than this. This
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: is a clean CR. What does that mean? By the way,
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: continuing resolution instead of passing a real budget like they should,
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: this just says, hey, remember the last one, let's just
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: continue at those levels again, all right. Now. That may
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: mean that certain people who should get less won't, certain
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: people who need more won't, But a clean CR means
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: that this is an extension from the last set of
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: in this case, Biden's spending levels. Okay, that's what a
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: clean CR is. This is a clean CR. Wait a minute,
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: Cuomo disagrees with Jeffries. Jeffries must be right. Don't take
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: my word, take the word. I'm a nonpartisan committee for
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: a responsible federal budget. They say this is about as
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: clean ACR as you could get. Okay, again, it's a
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: continuation of a March stopgap measure.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: This is literally going and saying we're going to keep
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden's budget. Like that's the easiest way I can
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: describe this and understand.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: That is Chris Cuomo. That is former CNN primetime star.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: That is loud, vocal Democrat Chris Cuomo saying, Hakeem Jeffries,
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: the Democrat leader in the House, is lying to you
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: because you know what he is. He's gas lighting. And
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: kudos to Chris Cuomo for having the guts to speak
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: the truth. I wish his old colleagues at CNN could
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: follow suit.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: All right, I want to move to something else, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: that's really important. The Senate Judiciary is having a big
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: hearing and it deals with blue city chaos, democratic run cities.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: The report that's out now is pretty cool. Are the
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: top twenty most crime ridden cities. Eighteen of them are
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: controlled by left wing hard court Democrats, and you guys
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: are now looking into this, So what does this actually mean.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Well, this week the Judiciary Committee held a hearing on
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: out of control crime in Democrat cities, and it really
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: is horrific the policies. It turns out, when you let
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: violent criminals go, when you undermine the police, when you
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: put in place prosecutors who won't prosecute crime, you get
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: more crime. This summer, the Senate Judiciary Committee, Chuck Grassley's
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the chairman, put out a report that showed that the
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Biden Department of Justice sent taxpayer funded grants to Soros
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: backed soft on crime and goos. And in particular, here's
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: what the report said. Under the Biden Harris administration, the
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Vera Institute was awarded millions of taxpayer dollars to prop
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: up left wing district attorneys who would then partner with
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: the Vera Institute to implement Soros backed progressive policies. These
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: policies included prioritizing violent criminals over victims and declining to
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: fully prosecute felony charges including assault, kidnapping, rape, and murder.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: And here's some of the key findings from the report.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: In New York, New York County DA Alvin Bragg partnered
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: with the VERA Institute and declined to prosecute certain misdemeanor felonies,
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: actively working to downgrade felony charges to misdemeanors, and refused
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: to detain criminals before their trials. Meanwhile, Bragg attempted to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: prosecute President Donald Trump for federal campaign finance violations. In
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: the year twenty twenty five, there were over forty eight
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: thousand individuals arrested for misdemeanors in New York County WOW,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: but only three thousand of them were detained. Forty eight
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: thousand arrested, three thousand detained. In Georgia, Athens, DA Debor
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: Gonzalez partnered with the vere Institute and pledged to protect
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrant defendants and release criminals on bonds that do
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: not require the posting of money. In Wisconsin, Milwaukee DA
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: John Chisholm partnered with VERI Institute to implement progressive, soft
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: on crime policies and reportedly told the Milwaukee Sentinel Journey quote,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: is there going to be an individual I divert or
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: who I put into a treatment program who's going to
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: go out and kill somebody? You bet? That is the
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: Soros DA bragging he's going to release criminals who murder people,
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: and in twenty twenty, the Milwaukee DA's office released a
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: criminal twice before he ultimately drove an suv through a
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Christmas parade, killing six and injuring sixty two others. This
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: pattern is happening over and over and over again. What
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: is amazing is the Democrats are not learning. They're not saying, gosh,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: maybe we should stop siding with the criminals. Instead, they're
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: doubling down.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: They're doubling down. And you see these stories that pop up.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: And there was one dad that went before Congress to
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: testify about his daughter and just how many times the
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: man that killed his daughter, that took his daughter's life
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: had been arrested and released. And if you didn't hear that,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: people should go listen to it because I think it's
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: really important. But we're seeing this happen where criminals are
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: being caught and released dozens of times, like dozens of
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Time Center and they're just like, yeah, so what they
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: go out and then they kill somebody, like Okay, maybe
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: we should have guess locked that guy up.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: My bad. It's insane.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Well, and here was a portion of the hearing this week,
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Give a listen prosecute violet criminals. Innocent victims die right
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: here in Washington, d C. In twenty twelve, murders in
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: DC totaled fewer than one hundred. By twenty twenty three,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: murders had nearly tripled, two hundred and seventy four lives
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: taken in a single year. These are the real world
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: consequences of Democrat crime policies that let murderers go.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: And the policy, to be clear center is a simple one.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: Das were instructed when they took money basically from Sorus.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: They're bought and paid for by Soros.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: And what they were instructed to do was to have
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: prison reform and bail reform.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: They wanted people out of the prisons.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: They didn't want Peo to go to prisons, they didn't
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: want people to be held in prison because of bail,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: and so that is part of what they're advocating for here.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: It's comprehensive and it's at every stage. It's a left
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: wing agenda that wants to number one, abolish the police,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: wants to defund the police. And by the way, that's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: not just empty rhetoric. If you look at jurisdictions across
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: the country in Minneapolis, they slashed funding for the police department.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: In New York City, the NYPD, they cut over a
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: billion dollars from the NYPD's budget. In Austin, Texas, our
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: home state, one hundred and fifty million dollars cut from
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: the police department. So that's one way they do it
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: is they attack the police directly to wanting to e
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: they abolish or defund the police. But secondly they go
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: after DA's and George Soros has spent tens of millions
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: of dollars funding DA campaigns for radicals who've gotten elected
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: in many major cities across the country. And when they
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: get in, they refuse to prosecute violent criminals. They downgrade
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: felonies to misdemeanors, they abolish cash bail. So they catch
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: a murderer, they let them go. They catch a violent criminal,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: they let them go. Here's another portion from the hearing.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: You know, it's clear from this hearing the Democrat talking
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: points have come out. Both Senator Padilla and Senator Booker
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: spent a great deal of time talking about quote red
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: states as a reason they were talking about red states
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: because unfortunately, most red states had blue cities and that's
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: where the crime is. If you want to look at
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three the large cities with the most
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: homicides per one hundred thousand people, Number one was New Orleans, Louisiana.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: Number two was Memphis, Tennessee. Number three was Saint Louis City.
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: Number four was Baltimore City. Number five was Washington, DC.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Democrat crime policies kill people. Soros das who let murderers
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: out of jail kill people.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: So when you look at this being exposed the way
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: that you guys are doing it, what is going to
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: be the mechanism that can obviously help stop this from happening?
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: And how can Congress use that leverage?
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: Well, there are lots of things we can do. One
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: is what President Trump has done, which is he sent
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: the National Guard to Washington, DC. And the result of
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: that is the crime rates of plummet. The plummeted. The
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: murder rates have dropped fifty eight percent. Now you would
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: think rational people, If Democrats were rational people, they'd be celebrating, Wow,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: the murder rate has plummeted. That means people are alive
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: because the National Guard is they're stopping murders, but they're not.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: They're furious and I'll tell you. In the wake of
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: George Floyd dying, the DC City Council passed a soft
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: on crime package of legislation that lessened the penalty for
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: violent crime across the board, that tied the police hands
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: and made it much much harder to prosecute crime. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: the result was crime rose dramatically, carjacking and violent crime
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: rose dramatically. I've introduced legislation in the Senate called the
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: Clean DC Act. The Clean DC Act reverses those twenty
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: twenty two laws. It reinstates tougher penalties on violent crimes,
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: and it allows the police to actually go after the
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: violent criminals. At the hearing, the head of the DC
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Police Union testified and he explicitly asked the Senate to
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: pass my legislation. Pass the Clean DC Act. Give a
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: listen to the head of the DC Police Officers Union.
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: That is why we also support the Clean DC Act.
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: It begins the process of undoing harmful legislation, restoring balance,
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: and rebuilding MPD strength. This is not just a DC issue.
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: Other cities that embrace the same policies are now facing
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: the same consequences. The lesson is clear. When leaders attack
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: police communities suffer when lawmakers strip away tools and protect actions,
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: criminals thrive. If this is not corrected, the crisis will
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: deepen here and nationwide. Urge Congress to act, support the
• 24:08
  Speaker 6: Clean DC Act, roll backfield legislation, and work with law
• 24:12
  Speaker 6: enforcement instead of against US officers want nothing more than
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: to protect their communities, but they cannot do it alone. Again,
• 24:19
  Speaker 6: I thank you for the opportunity to testify, and I
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: welcome any questions the committee may have.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: One of the things Centaer I like about where you
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: guys are going with this is that this is not
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: going to be a short term thing. This is actual
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: reform you are advocating for to make sure that these
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: cities don't go back to these liberal policies where innocent
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: people are dying every single day.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Now, that's exactly right. And the first obligation, the first
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: obligation the president, the commander in chief has is to
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: protect this nation, to keep us safe. The first obligation
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: really every elected official should put front and center is
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: protecting the health and safety of the men and women
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: you're elected to represent. And you know it is striking
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: just we talked about a minute ago with the shutdown
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: where the Democrats are engaged in gaslighting. You heard in
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: the segment I was talking about what both Corey Booker
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: and Alex Padilla said in that hearing where they both
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: had talking points almost exactly the same, where they said, well,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: you know, there are bad crime stats in a bunch
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: of red states, and they went through a bunch of
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: red states, and then they're right, there are red states
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: where the crime stats are problematic. My response, which they
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: have no refutation to, is that is entirely driven by
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: the blue cities and those red states that are governed
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: by left wing Democrat mayors and left wing Democrat DA's
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: who refuse to prosecute violent crime. And so yes, look, Memphis,
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Tennessee was number two on the list. Now Tennessee is
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: a red state. But you know, God help you if
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: you live in Memphis when you have local officials who
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: will not prosecute the bad guys. And that that's true
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: in Baltimore, that's true in New Orleans, that's true in Washington, DC.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: And rather than address it and admit it and fix it,
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are trying to distract people by engaging in
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: dishonest rhetoric.
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: The left wing crimes cistics center are brutal BLM protests.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: For example, twenty twenty, there are over ten thousand demonstrations
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and cause one to two billion and ensured property damage.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: According to Axios, this is the most expensive civil disorder
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: in US history. There were also nineteen Americans into the
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: conservative numbers, who died directly caused by the demonstrations, And
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: that's another data point that the left in the media
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: does not want to talk about. But if you look
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: at this and you see what the Democrats have done
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: to our cities, and the fact that this has all
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: been i think bought and paid for, funneled money going
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: into these groups that are advocating for this type of
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: organized violence. That's the other thing that scares the hell
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: out of me.
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: Well, and I want to draw a linkage between each
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: of the stories we're talking about today, which is that
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: we see left wing policies that undermine law enforcement, that
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: seek to abolish or defund the police, that put Soros
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: prosecutors in office, that release violent criminals, and you see
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: the result being more and more violent crime. You then
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: see democrats engaging rhetoric to obfuscate, to hide that, to
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: pretend it's not happening. But you also see the left
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: engaging in increasingly angry rhetoric demonizing their opponents. And if
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: you look at ideologically motivated crime, the vast majority of
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: it violence that is ideologically motivated, the overwhelming majority is
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: on the left. As you mentioned, the BLM riots all
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: across the country, American cities burned all across the country,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: not just that. You look at the anti Semitic, anti
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Israel campus protests. Those were leftists, those were anarchists, those
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: were Jihadis, those were communists. All across the country. Over
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: two thousand and three hundered anti Semitic incidents reported on campuses,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: which is, by the way, the highest ever recorded. That
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: was in twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five. The
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: La riots this year twenty twenty five, seventeen people injured,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: a state of emergency in La County. The city reports
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: nineteen point seven million cost as of mid June.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Of course, President Trump the target of two assassination attempts. Tragically,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: our friend Charlie Kirk successfully murdered in a horrific assassination.
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: This pattern that the murderer who flew from California to
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: Maryland and to murdered Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Thankfully he was
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: arrested by the police before he could carry out that
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: heinous act. And by the way, you go back to
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: twenty seventeen when a gunman came to Washington, d C.
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: Looking for elected Republicans to murder, went to the congressional
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: baseball practice and opened fire, hitting multiple elected Republicans, nearly
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: killing Steve Scalise. Had the bullet been an inch one
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: side of the other, Steve, a good friend, would have
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: been killed that day. Instead, he was injured badly. Thankfully
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: he survived. This pattern is happening over and over and
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: over again, and there's a direct connection between the demonization.
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: Look when Charlie Kirk was murdered, far too many on
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: the left celebrated, cheered it on. When Luigi the nutcase
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: murdered the CEO of health insurance company, supposedly respected members
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: of the media celebrated leftister getting his face tattooed on them.
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: They celebrate violence, and this week we saw two more
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: instances happen. We saw number one Immigration and Customs enforcement
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: agents targeted in two separate car attacks during enforcement actions
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: in Chicago this past week. Two different car attacks. It
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: turns out that when Democrats demonize Ice, when they call
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: him Nazis, as the Democrats have done over and over
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: and over again. Our last podcast played a whole clip
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: of Democrats calling Ice and law enforcement Nazis and gestapos.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: That turnout, when you use that kind of language, there
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: are lunatics who listen to it and move to violence.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: As you know, I was on the ground in Dallas,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: uh and and was on site within minutes of the
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: sniper attack at the ICE facility in Dallas by a
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: deranged leftist who wrote who wrote wrote his his left
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: wing agenda on the shellcasings, emulating what Charlie Kirk's murder
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: had done. This pattern is happening over and over and
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: over again, and I got to say it's Bet Bennett's disturbing.
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: I don't see I don't see many Democrats modulating their rhetoric.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Gavin Niterson just this week called Steve Miller, the deputy
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: White House Chief of Staff, a fascist, using the same
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: language that that that motivated, among others, the murderers of
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk. And they keep doubling and doubling down and
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: doubling down, and they know more ICE agents are going
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: to be targeted. They know more police are going to
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: be targeted. And I want to be clear about something
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: because some will say, well, gosh, there are crazies on
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: the right who commit violence, and that's true, but if
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: you look at ideologically motivated violence, the crazies on the
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: right who commit violence are usually just mentally deranged people. So,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: or to put it a little different, liberals can be
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the victims of violence as well. So Nancy Pelosi's husband
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: was attacked by a deranged, mentally ill person with a hammer.
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: Now that was tragic, but I would not describe that
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: as ideologically motivated violence. He was simply a victim of
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: a mentally ill person engaging in an active violence, and
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: that's horrific. And there's a difference. You and I didn't
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: celebrate that. Nobody. Violence is never, never, never, right. And
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: the difference is the left celebrates it far too often,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: encourages it on the front end, celebrates it on the
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: back end where it whereas any principal conservative I know
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: it will condemn violence across the board say do not
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: engage in violence. And compare the difference of the reaction
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: when George Floyd died and you had violent riots and
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: fires across the country. Compared to when Charlie Kirk was murdered,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: and you had candlelight vigils and prayer vigils, and the
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: violence was from the leftist attacking people praying and holding
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: up candles.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, and not only that, you even had Democrats
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: this week attacking Jeffries talking about those that went to
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: the Republican Convention as being like extremists.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're not dialing this.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Supervillains. Supervillains is what he called the inauguration.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, excuse me, the inauguration. Yeah, he talked about
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the inauguration. He said that there was a super villain convention.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: And that is them not downplaying this. That is him
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: ratching it up, knowing that we just left Charlie Kirk's
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: funeral from being at.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: And the hate on the left. It is directed at conservatives,
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: it is directed at capitalism, it is directed at American
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: but it's also viciously antisemitic and on Young Yong Gapour
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: in Manchester, a a Syrian Assyrian ironically, uh with the
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: name wait wait for it, what was the name? What
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: was the name of this murder? His name is Jahad
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: al Shami and and he he targeted worshippers at a
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: synagogue on Young Kapoor Uh. This pattern is happening over
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: and over and over again, and it's wrong and we
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: need to stand against it.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: I am into that. Don't forget.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: We do this show as a podcast three days a week,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: so if you're listening on the radio, make sure you
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: download this podcast. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we're going to
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: have a lot of news that's going to be breaking. Obviously,
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: it deals with the government shut down. If you want
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: to know what's happening behind the scenes. That is reason
• 33:57
