NYC Commie Takeover - Big SCOTUS Decisions · Booker Scott: Truth Be Told

0:07
Speaker 1: It's 6 Eastern. It's 3 o'clock Pacific.
0:10
Speaker 2: This is a president of action.
0:11
Speaker 1: Coast to coast and around the world from the America
0:14
Speaker 1: Out Loud talk radio studios.
0:16
Speaker 3: If he says he's serious about something, he means it.
0:19
Speaker 1: It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
0:22
Speaker 2: America and Donald Trump continue to win at the Supreme
0:26
Speaker 2: Court of the United States. And what about New York?
0:29
Speaker 2: Are the socialists taking over there? It's hard to tell
0:32
Speaker 2: after last Tuesday. I'm Booker Scott, alongside Matt Palumbo. Matt,
0:36
Speaker 2: I hope you had a great week, and let's get
0:38
Speaker 2: this thing going tonight.
0:40
Speaker 4: Same to you.
0:40
Speaker 2: Well, where do we start? You want to start, I guess,
0:43
Speaker 2: Tuesday night and what happened in New York. I think
0:45
Speaker 2: that's probably the best place to start. It seems like
0:48
Speaker 2: the Democrat Party is imploding, and I don't know what
0:51
Speaker 2: that means for the midterms, if it really means anything.
0:54
Speaker 2: And do we make much out of three socialists Democrat-Socialist
0:58
Speaker 2: winning in New York after Mamdani won the mayor race?
1:01
Speaker 2: What do we make out of all of it?
1:03
Speaker 4: So the DSA-backed candidates and also Mamdani-backed candidates that won
1:09
Speaker 4: are part of New York City that has been dubbed
1:12
Speaker 4: the commie corridor. So obviously known for very, very far-left politics.
1:18
Speaker 4: In fact, when Mamdani was elected to the state legislature,
1:21
Speaker 4: he ran unopposed. It's one of those areas where it's
1:25
Speaker 4: so far left, Republicans don't even try, not even to,
1:29
Speaker 4: you know, get your name out there for some other purpose.
1:31
Speaker 4: They don't even bother to run. So, you know, these
1:33
Speaker 4: are districts where 80 plus percent of the population is
1:37
Speaker 4: as Democrat. And it's, you know, not the type of
1:40
Speaker 4: Democrats maybe you'll find in the South. These are hardened,
1:43
Speaker 4: you know, Marxist, socialists, people who are overeducated in the
1:47
Speaker 4: most useless fields imaginable. And a lot of them are,
1:52
Speaker 4: you know, people where they're, you know, they're facing very
1:54
Speaker 4: high housing costs. Um, they are, as I said, they
1:58
Speaker 4: major in useless fields, so they are probably overqualified for
2:02
Speaker 4: the jobs they're working. And people in those situations do
2:06
Speaker 4: tend to gravitate towards those types of policies. Now, that
2:09
Speaker 4: being said, it's basically by their own doing by, you know,
2:12
Speaker 4: both their personal choice and political choices, but we are
2:16
Speaker 4: seeing that phenomenon now. So is this proof that the
2:20
Speaker 4: socialists are taking over? Uh, I would say the seeds
2:24
Speaker 4: are being planted. I mean, the Democratic Socialist-backed candidates that
2:29
Speaker 4: are going to be in the House of Representatives, I
2:31
Speaker 4: think it's going to be seven or so of them
2:34
Speaker 4: now are going to have seats. Now, out of 435 seats,
2:38
Speaker 4: that's not a large percentage, but it is almost double
2:40
Speaker 4: what it was from a week or two ago. So
2:42
Speaker 4: they are seeing rising influence there. Now, I am seeing
2:46
Speaker 4: some Democrats that are in the more establishment Democrat category, which...
2:51
Speaker 4: you know, it's a different flavor of crazy, say, well,
2:54
Speaker 4: these people are not Democrats. They're not really our party.
2:56
Speaker 4: They're using it the way a parasite would. They're latching
2:59
Speaker 4: onto our label. And I think that's actually unfair in
3:02
Speaker 4: that we're a two-party system. So, you know, was the
3:07
Speaker 4: Tea Party abusing the Republican Party's brand to get into office?
3:11
Speaker 2: Or MAGA. MAGA is another one down.
3:13
Speaker 4: MAGA did the same thing. Trump has remade the GOP
3:16
Speaker 4: in his figure. I mean, I think Trump, when he entered...
3:20
Speaker 4: the presidential race in 2015, his odds were 1%. He
3:24
Speaker 4: was pulling at his net favorability among Republicans was like
3:28
Speaker 4: negative 20 points. He's now the most Republican, the most
3:32
Speaker 4: popular Republican president among Republicans in history. So yeah, you can,
3:36
Speaker 4: you can change a party for the better and listen,
3:38
Speaker 4: you know, both the Republicans and the Democrats are kind
3:42
Speaker 4: of catch all coalitions of the right and the left.
3:44
Speaker 4: If we were a year up, the GOP might be
3:47
Speaker 4: four different parties that unite under one banner where they
3:50
Speaker 4: have their own distinct identities, but all agree we're going
3:52
Speaker 4: to work as a bloc because we have to. In
3:55
Speaker 4: a two-party system, the whole coalition process is streamlined. So listen,
3:59
Speaker 4: the Democratic Socialists, yes, they are Democrats. They run as Democrats.
4:03
Speaker 4: Democrats are voting them into office. So what else would
4:06
Speaker 4: they be?
4:07
Speaker 2: I was surprised about Dan Goldman. I was. I didn't
4:10
Speaker 2: think that One, that he would get beat. And number two,
4:13
Speaker 2: I didn't think that he would get beat 65 to 35.
4:15
Speaker 2: It was a blowout. And that's really shocking to me
4:18
Speaker 2: and surprising. It's not a guy that I like. And
4:21
Speaker 2: by the way, the Department of Justice is investigating what
4:25
Speaker 2: happened to him at a coffee shop in New York now.
4:27
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw that this week, but
4:29
Speaker 2: they are investigating the way he was treated. because he
4:33
Speaker 2: is Jewish in a coffee shop in New York. But,
4:36
Speaker 2: you know, everybody blows up on social media that socialism
4:40
Speaker 2: is here, and it's something that I speak about quite
4:43
Speaker 2: a bit, that we do have to watch it. And
4:45
Speaker 2: as you look at how things have changed in this country,
4:49
Speaker 2: we are getting closer and closer to that, and I
4:52
Speaker 2: think this is a warning shot for America.
4:56
Speaker 4: So the Democrats that won, and my greater point was,
4:59
Speaker 4: when you get the level of groupthink you get in politics,
5:03
Speaker 4: Cities where 80% or 90% of people are one political persuasion. That's,
5:09
Speaker 4: at this point in time... Probably the only kind of
5:13
Speaker 4: places they would get elected. The Chevrolet woman got just
5:17
Speaker 4: over 50 percent of the vote, meaning even almost half
5:21
Speaker 4: of Democrats there said, all right, maybe maybe we're not
5:24
Speaker 4: that far left. They're far left. They hate Trump. They
5:27
Speaker 4: would probably hate you and I. But even they decided,
5:29
Speaker 4: all right, maybe the establishment guy will take over her.
5:32
Speaker 4: The other one, Claire Valdez, I believe, was the one
5:34
Speaker 4: who got elected. closer to 60 percent but but again
5:37
Speaker 4: you know this is an you know as i call
5:39
Speaker 4: it the comedy corridor is what is what their districts
5:42
Speaker 4: are are are part of and even then it was
5:45
Speaker 4: quote unquote only 60 percent now it's a victory but
5:49
Speaker 4: my overall point is if they ran in in west
5:51
Speaker 4: virginia the democrats there would probably pick someone else.
5:54
Speaker 2: Yeah i i agree with that but i still think
5:57
Speaker 2: we should pay attention to it and donald trump thinks
5:59
Speaker 2: we should too let's listen to this video go ahead
6:02
Speaker 2: matt One.
6:03
Speaker 4: Last point would be, you know, I was saying the
6:07
Speaker 4: socialists haven't taken over yet. But the key word is
6:10
Speaker 4: yet in that if you plot out and The Economist
6:13
Speaker 4: has done research on this, Pew Research has done research
6:16
Speaker 4: on this. If you plot out the ideology of the
6:18
Speaker 4: Republican Party and the Democratic Party over the past 20
6:21
Speaker 4: or so years. The Republican Party is pretty consistently– its
6:25
Speaker 4: voter base is pretty consistent on where they are on
6:27
Speaker 4: the political axis. It's got a little bit to the
6:29
Speaker 4: right under Trump, and certain issues have been emphasized more
6:33
Speaker 4: like immigration. But overall, if you put a Reagan Republican
6:37
Speaker 4: and a Trump– back from the 80s and a Trump
6:39
Speaker 4: supporter today into a room, there's going to be a
6:42
Speaker 4: lot of similarity, probably 95 percent in common.
6:45
Speaker 2: Before we get to Trump, let me go to this, though.
6:48
Speaker 4: Oh, I had one last place.
6:49
Speaker 2: OK, sorry.
6:51
Speaker 4: My last point was if you plot the Democrats, it's
6:55
Speaker 4: they're consistent up until Trump. They veer off like crazy
7:00
Speaker 4: relative to how far the right went to the right.
7:02
Speaker 4: So the party has changed massively in the past 10 years.
7:06
Speaker 4: It has become overwhelmingly more left wing. I mean, the
7:09
Speaker 4: trans issue is. 20 years ago would have been mocked
7:12
Speaker 4: into oblivion by the average Democrat. Now it's mainstream. Sort
7:17
Speaker 4: of the anti-wealth views are definitely worse than they've ever been.
7:20
Speaker 4: And just their support for political violence, being anti-free speech,
7:25
Speaker 4: is way higher than it has ever been. Now, they
7:27
Speaker 4: were never great on those issues, but they are going
7:29
Speaker 4: further to the left. So, yes, the socialist types, I
7:32
Speaker 4: don't think it would get elected today. In 10 or
7:34
Speaker 4: 20 years, I think it is possible, just to make
7:37
Speaker 4: that clear. And on that note, sorry.
7:42
Speaker 2: No, that's okay. Before now, you made me think of
7:44
Speaker 2: something else because, you know, you go back to the
7:48
Speaker 2: baker in Colorado that was 30 years ago now that
7:52
Speaker 2: would not bake a cake for a gay couple. And
7:56
Speaker 2: it went all the way to the Supreme court. And,
7:59
Speaker 2: Every time something like that happens, we never really go
8:02
Speaker 2: back to where we were before. They keep pushing it
8:05
Speaker 2: and keep pushing it. And now we see that they
8:08
Speaker 2: are pushing socialism. And let's see what President Donald Trump
8:11
Speaker 2: had to say about that Friday afternoon.
8:13
Speaker 5: These are not social Democrats. These are hardcore, godless communists.
8:18
Speaker 5: They're godless communists. All communists are godless. They don't believe
8:22
Speaker 5: in God. This is the most serious threat to our
8:25
Speaker 5: country since its existence, in my opinion. 250 years ago.
8:30
Speaker 5: This is a major threat to our country. It isn't
8:36
Speaker 5: something that's easily solved, but with a little love and help,
8:43
Speaker 5: some hard work. Because it's ironic, we're celebrating a very
8:47
Speaker 5: important birthday, our most important birthday so far, 250 years.
8:52
Speaker 5: And instead of speaking about Christ, And instead of speaking
8:58
Speaker 5: about freedom and victories of all different kinds, we're speaking
9:01
Speaker 5: about yet another threat to the foundations of America. These
9:06
Speaker 5: ruthless communists will attack all religions, but in particular Christianity.
9:11
Speaker 5: They always do. They're after Christianity more than any other religion.
9:16
Speaker 5: It seems to be more and more throughout the world,
9:18
Speaker 5: maybe because we're doing so well. I don't know.
9:21
Speaker 2: I think Donald Trump is signaling the alarm that all
9:24
Speaker 2: of us should pay attention to. And Matt, is this
9:27
Speaker 2: something that can be used in the midterm after what
9:30
Speaker 2: happened in December? Can the Republicans create a fear in
9:33
Speaker 2: people to get them to actually go vote because there
9:36
Speaker 2: has been such apathy of the Republicans ever since last November?
9:40
Speaker 2: Is this something that they could use to actually get
9:43
Speaker 2: people to go vote?
9:44
Speaker 4: Well, God, I hope so. I mean, I know the
9:46
Speaker 4: RNC has over $ 100 million in cash on hand. The
9:50
Speaker 4: DNC is a few million dollars in debt, which I
9:52
Speaker 4: guess is a metaphor for their governance. But so the
9:56
Speaker 4: RNC does have a huge cash advantage. It's just a
9:59
Speaker 4: question of is that enough money, you know, on a
10:02
Speaker 4: national scale to offset the deficit the incumbent always had?
10:07
Speaker 4: And we've talked about this in your other shows in
10:09
Speaker 4: the past that, you know, Bill Clinton had very positive
10:12
Speaker 4: economic numbers and still got I mean, it was a
10:14
Speaker 4: blowout against him. When it came to the midterms and base,
10:18
Speaker 4: I don't think there was a single example to the contrary,
10:20
Speaker 4: we could find where the incumbent gain seats. So, you know,
10:24
Speaker 4: that is the unfortunate reality. Could this time be different? Perhaps.
10:28
Speaker 4: I mean, the one woman I mentioned, she have a layer,
10:31
Speaker 4: she have a lay. I know I'm mispronouncing it. She
10:34
Speaker 4: is certifiably insane. She makes AOC look normal by comparison,
10:38
Speaker 4: which kind of says a lot. Well, I should say,
10:41
Speaker 4: she probably has identical views as AOC. AOC is at
10:44
Speaker 4: least smart enough not to say them all out loud.
10:47
Speaker 4: But she wants to abolish prisons. She tweets about how... Oh,
10:51
Speaker 4: I couldn't put a napkin to wipe my hands, so
10:53
Speaker 4: I wiped it on the American flag.
10:56
Speaker 2: Reparations.
10:57
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess that's kind of mainstream at this point,
10:59
Speaker 4: but they have made a lot of incredibly insane comments.
11:03
Speaker 4: And there are people, too, where, you know, we think
11:06
Speaker 4: of socialism and communism as economic systems, but. They all
11:11
Speaker 4: also have views about nationalism, about the social order, about
11:16
Speaker 4: the role of law and justice in society that are
11:20
Speaker 4: antithetical to Western civilization. Chiavelli has made comments about wanting
11:26
Speaker 4: to abolish Western civilization. They're also they just want policies
11:31
Speaker 4: of misery for everyone. The one of them, Claire Valdez,
11:34
Speaker 4: is now talking about eliminating TSA pre-check because she wants,
11:39
Speaker 4: you know, she hates waiting in the TSA and hates
11:42
Speaker 4: seeing people go faster than her. Therefore, we have to
11:45
Speaker 4: get rid of it.
11:45
Speaker 2: It's like, what?
11:46
Speaker 4: You know, it's not that expensive. It's like 50 bucks
11:48
Speaker 4: or something. It might be 100 tops. It's not a
11:51
Speaker 4: lot of money.
11:51
Speaker 6: So.
11:52
Speaker 4: You could also just buy it for yourself. But it's
11:55
Speaker 4: just politics of envy, politics of misery. We're always hearing
11:58
Speaker 4: them talk about, oh, if only rich people redistributed their assets. Oh,
12:03
Speaker 4: if only we repurposed this system that a corporation created.
12:07
Speaker 4: Think of all the good it could do. It's never, hey,
12:10
Speaker 4: you know what? We should make our own version and
12:13
Speaker 4: give it out for free. Or, hey, why don't we
12:15
Speaker 4: start our own company and we'll give all our employees
12:18
Speaker 4: shares in it because we're socialists and we want to
12:20
Speaker 4: share equally and we'll do it ourselves. No, it's always,
12:24
Speaker 4: let's wait for someone else to do it for us
12:26
Speaker 4: and then let's steal it. So that's the ideology that
12:29
Speaker 4: underpins any of them. And it's the kind of people
12:31
Speaker 4: who I don't think could manage a high school group
12:34
Speaker 4: project now want to manage an entire country.
12:36
Speaker 2: Right. And let's keep them away from the country if
12:39
Speaker 2: we could. And like you said, it's seven out of
12:42
Speaker 2: 435 in the House of Representatives.
12:44
Speaker 4: It's hard to get, I know there was four or
12:46
Speaker 4: five at one point, but it was, I think Richie
12:49
Speaker 4: Torres got kicked out of the DSA for not being anti-Israel.
12:53
Speaker 4: I think Summer Lee either left or was kicked out. So,
12:55
Speaker 4: so I think it was five at five or six
12:57
Speaker 4: at its peak. There was a few that got kicked
13:00
Speaker 4: out at effect. You had Cori Bush and Jamal Bowman,
13:02
Speaker 4: I think were part of it and left. So it's like,
13:05
Speaker 4: I believe it'll be six or seven, but it's, you know,
13:08
Speaker 4: harder to track.
13:09
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. Well, pay attention to it, but don't get
13:12
Speaker 2: worried about it. And let's move on from Tuesday night
13:15
Speaker 2: in New York City. And let's go to the Supreme Court,
13:18
Speaker 2: because there were some big decisions that came down this week.
13:21
Speaker 2: And Donald Trump continues to win in the Supreme Court,
13:24
Speaker 2: regardless of what we think about the activist judges across
13:28
Speaker 2: the country. that have done everything that they have done
13:31
Speaker 2: over the last 18 months. And you know what that is.
13:34
Speaker 2: We have watched it. And by the way, Matt, you
13:36
Speaker 2: know that the activist judges only exist because the Democrats
13:40
Speaker 2: decided to nuke the filibuster back in 2013 when Harry
13:45
Speaker 2: Reid was the majority leader. And by nuking the filibuster,
13:48
Speaker 2: that means that it only takes 51. And over the last,
13:53
Speaker 2: you know, since 2013, you've had Barack Obama and Joe
13:57
Speaker 2: Biden do the majority of the appointing of federal judges.
14:01
Speaker 2: And when you only need 51, you end up with activists.
14:03
Speaker 2: And that's what's happened. But in the Supreme Court is
14:06
Speaker 2: the backstop for where these wacko judges get away with
14:10
Speaker 2: doing things. That's where things stop. And luckily, the things
14:14
Speaker 2: that came out this week are going to make a
14:16
Speaker 2: huge difference at the border and for illegal immigration. Going
14:20
Speaker 2: all the way back to the first day of Donald
14:22
Speaker 2: Trump's 47th presidency, he signed some executive orders and they
14:27
Speaker 2: went straight to court. And they've been held up until now.
14:30
Speaker 2: And now there's some big decisions that came out.
14:32
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, one of the trends is... You know, when
14:35
Speaker 4: Trump does anything, there is always some federal judge that
14:39
Speaker 4: blocks it. But the higher you go in the appeal process,
14:43
Speaker 4: the less success the activists have. Then once you get
14:46
Speaker 4: to the Supreme Court, it's I think 90 plus percent
14:49
Speaker 4: in Donald Trump's favor. So, you know, I know they're
14:52
Speaker 4: going to say, oh, that's because it's, you know, he
14:55
Speaker 4: rigged the Supreme Court in his favor. But Amy Coney
14:58
Speaker 4: Barrett's not as reliable as you'd think. Gorsuch is not
15:01
Speaker 4: as reliable as you'd think. And there have been a
15:03
Speaker 4: number of cases where it's unanimous in Trump's favor or
15:07
Speaker 4: it's not always the usual suspects going against him. So
15:11
Speaker 4: maybe it's just the case that activist judges are using
15:15
Speaker 4: any justification to get what they want. It's always the
15:18
Speaker 4: same group of judges. It's like Boasberg, Sparkle. What a
15:23
Speaker 4: great name. Or some judge that they're all often it
15:28
Speaker 4: seems more often than not, not even born in this country.
15:30
Speaker 4: They're always some foreign born person who has no connection
15:33
Speaker 4: to this country, who is doing the bidding of the
15:36
Speaker 4: left for activist purposes. you know, are ruling on these
15:39
Speaker 4: cases the way you kind of expect someone from that background, too. Well,
15:43
Speaker 4: of course they want more foreign people in the country.
15:45
Speaker 4: They want the country to be more like them, which
15:47
Speaker 4: I guess is maybe a natural desire, but it should
15:50
Speaker 4: not be dictating our law.
15:52
Speaker 2: Well, one of these that the Supreme Court, I guess,
15:55
Speaker 2: upheld was the temporary status of And that means that 1.1
15:59
Speaker 2: million Haitians are here illegally. And a lot of people
16:02
Speaker 2: may remember the Haitians and the cats that they were
16:05
Speaker 2: allegedly eating in Ohio. And even Donald Trump reported that
16:09
Speaker 2: and repeated it. But yeah, that's, those are Haitians.
16:11
Speaker 4: Yeah. That was a Twitter account named captive dreamers. The
16:15
Speaker 4: one who tweeted that out. And, uh, I think he
16:19
Speaker 4: was just trolling, but J.D. Vance follows him. So I'm
16:22
Speaker 4: assuming what happened was J.D. Vance saw that and showed Trump,
16:26
Speaker 4: and that's how they got into the debate.
16:28
Speaker 2: Right, and it became the news.
16:30
Speaker 4: Which, by the way, got quoted in the court ruling by,
16:34
Speaker 4: I think it was Kagan or Sotomayor, quoted the cats
16:37
Speaker 4: and the dogs in the ruling.
16:39
Speaker 2: What this decision does is it allows Donald Trump administration
16:44
Speaker 2: to kick these people out. They cannot have a temporary status.
16:48
Speaker 2: And it's not just Haitians. It was also Syrians that
16:50
Speaker 2: had come here under those. And so they are gone
16:53
Speaker 2: under that. And then also, I think a very important
16:56
Speaker 2: decision was the asylum seekers. And that's really important because
17:00
Speaker 2: we have this stay in Mexico. They're over on the
17:03
Speaker 2: other side of the American border. And in the past,
17:06
Speaker 2: once you put your foot on American soil, then you
17:09
Speaker 2: can have a hearing. That's what you're allowed to do.
17:12
Speaker 2: But if you stay on the other side.
17:14
Speaker 7: Of the border.
17:15
Speaker 2: What they ruled is you don't get a hearing and
17:18
Speaker 2: you have no rights here. And I think that's pretty important.
17:20
Speaker 4: Well, if you really are seeking asylum and it is genuine,
17:25
Speaker 4: there is a country not too far from Mexico called
17:27
Speaker 4: El Salvador. It is right now their murder rate is
17:30
Speaker 4: less than half of ours. They actually have far less
17:32
Speaker 4: crime than we do. So if you're fleeing violence or whatever,
17:35
Speaker 4: there is a country in Latin America that you can
17:37
Speaker 4: flee to. At least in theory, I'm assuming Bukele probably
17:41
Speaker 4: isn't big on illegal immigration. But if you're not going
17:43
Speaker 4: to respect nations borders there are there is a safer
17:46
Speaker 4: country that you could go to um so there's that
17:49
Speaker 4: uh and then with the temporary protected status it seems
17:53
Speaker 4: that everyone forgot what the term temporary means um even
17:56
Speaker 4: you know the refugees who went to europe uh from
17:59
Speaker 4: the syrian war and all that The deal was supposed
18:02
Speaker 4: to be, and I'm guessing the people pulling the strings
18:05
Speaker 4: knew it. They wanted it to be permanent, but the
18:07
Speaker 4: deal was supposed to be once the war is over,
18:10
Speaker 4: you go back and the war is over. Granted, they
18:13
Speaker 4: got a former Islamist in charge, but they are stable.
18:17
Speaker 4: It's not a war anymore. So you do have a
18:20
Speaker 4: country to go back to. And with Haiti, it's bizarre
18:25
Speaker 4: that we're seeing this framing like, you know, oh, it's
18:30
Speaker 4: such a violent country. They can't go back to it.
18:32
Speaker 4: We need to take more people from Haiti.
18:34
Speaker 6: Really?
18:35
Speaker 4: So if we import, if we suppose it's the most
18:37
Speaker 4: violent country in the world, if we imported everyone from
18:40
Speaker 4: that country, what do you think happens here? So, you know,
18:44
Speaker 4: or the flip side of that is Actually, the Haitians
18:47
Speaker 4: have been great here. They're such great workers. They work hard.
18:50
Speaker 4: They want to support their families. Okay, so then wouldn't
18:53
Speaker 4: deporting them to Haiti improve Haiti for everyone else? So,
18:56
Speaker 4: you know, you've got to pick one argument, and neither
18:58
Speaker 4: really work for them.
18:59

Speaker 2: just about beef. It's about protecting independence. Go to beefinitiative.com.
20:00
Speaker 2: That's beefinitiative.com. Let's go to Kami Mamdani in New York,
20:16
Speaker 2: the mayor of New York, and he's going to protect
20:18
Speaker 2: the Haitians. And this is going to be interesting to watch.
20:20
Speaker 2: Here's this clip.
20:22
Speaker 6: We saw today the Supreme Court make a decision that
20:26
Speaker 6: is putting so many people's lives in jeopardy. And I
20:30
Speaker 6: just came back from a rally with 1199 as I
20:33
Speaker 6: stood alongside a number of Haitian New Yorkers. who are
20:36
Speaker 6: concerned about what this means for their status in our city.
20:39
Speaker 6: And frankly, this city, the one that we love, is
20:42
Speaker 6: one that has been built by so many from so
20:46
Speaker 6: many different parts of the world. And that includes our
20:48
Speaker 6: Haitian brothers and sisters, our Syrian brothers and sisters. And
20:51
Speaker 6: we stand here ready to be in solidarity with all
20:54
Speaker 6: of those who are concerned by today's decision and beyond
20:57
Speaker 6: just language of solidarity, actions of solidarity. Now, what that
21:01
Speaker 6: means when it comes to our city is if you
21:04
Speaker 6: are worried about what this means for your status, if
21:06
Speaker 6: you're worried about what this means for your family, I
21:08
Speaker 6: would encourage you to call our Mayor's Office of Immigrant
21:11
Speaker 6: Affairs hotline, and you can do so at 1-800- So.
21:15
Speaker 2: What does it mean for Haitians? It means they're out
21:17
Speaker 2: of here. What is he doing? He's trying to break
21:20
Speaker 2: the law, isn't he?
21:22
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank God we have Haitians to thank for building
21:26
Speaker 4: New York City. It's the first time I've heard that.
21:29
Speaker 4: So the Syrians have been here for, what, 10 years?
21:31
Speaker 4: So listen, I don't want to deny that people who
21:35
Speaker 4: are here working are obviously helping the country. I mean,
21:39
Speaker 4: I still think they're taking jobs and bidding wages, but
21:42
Speaker 4: at least they're not on welfare if they're here working.
21:44
Speaker 4: But listen, when we talk about America being a country
21:47
Speaker 4: built by immigrants, up until the last 60 or 70 years,
21:50
Speaker 4: 90 to 95% of them were from.
21:54
Speaker 2: England, Ireland, Italy, and Germany.
21:56
Speaker 4: So if we're going to have to give credit, maybe
22:00
Speaker 4: we should also give credit to the people that actually
22:03
Speaker 4: built the country, not the people who jumped in front
22:05
Speaker 4: of the parade and said, look, look, we're leading it,
22:07
Speaker 4: we're leading it. It's like, well, I guess you are now,
22:09
Speaker 4: but rewind a little bit and you're not. I also
22:13
Speaker 4: couldn't help but notice he had the non-trans pride flag
22:17
Speaker 4: behind him, which I call the Republican pride flag at
22:21
Speaker 4: this point.
22:21
Speaker 2: And are you still having a good Pride Month?
22:24
Speaker 5: Me?
22:25
Speaker 2: I don't practice. Well, it's almost over. Thank goodness. We're
22:27
Speaker 2: almost through it.
22:30
Speaker 4: Okay, so last year it felt like there was no
22:34
Speaker 4: Pride Month, which was great. This month it made a
22:37
Speaker 4: bit of a comeback, but it's still nothing like it
22:39
Speaker 4: was five years ago.
22:40
Speaker 2: No, nothing. Not even close. Let's go to Stephen Miller.
22:43
Speaker 2: He kind of echoes what you said a few minutes ago.
22:45
Speaker 2: Do you expect the administration to deport anyone who loses
22:48
Speaker 2: TPS status.
22:49
Speaker 8: As a result of this ruling? Well, of course, if
22:51
Speaker 8: you no longer have status in this country, then you're
22:54
Speaker 8: supposed to be deported. And in particular, in the case
22:56
Speaker 8: of the Haitians, the Biden administration flew over vast numbers.
23:00
Speaker 8: It's hard to know the exact number, but there are
23:03
Speaker 8: probably more than a million illegal immigrants from Haiti. That's
23:05
Speaker 8: not counting the border crossings. into the United States. These
23:09
Speaker 8: are people who have only been here for a few months,
23:11
Speaker 8: who are receiving welfare, whose all their ties, all their
23:14
Speaker 8: social connections, all their family is back in their home
23:16
Speaker 8: country of Haiti. And of course, that's where they should go.
23:19
Speaker 2: The Haitians and the Syrians are going to be gone.
23:22
Speaker 2: We have the asylum seekers that can stay on the
23:24
Speaker 2: other side of Mexico. Another good decision for Donald Trump
23:29
Speaker 2: and his administration. There's another one also, which I'm going
23:32
Speaker 2: to get to, but I want to go to Ron DeSantis,
23:36
Speaker 2: the governor in Florida. who has been doing a fantastic job.
23:39
Speaker 2: If you remember Alligator Alley, do you remember that?
23:42
Speaker 4: Alligator Alcatraz.
23:43
Speaker 2: Alcatraz, I'm sorry. Alligator Alley, by the way, is the
23:47
Speaker 2: road between Miami and Naples, Florida, is Alligator Alley. And
23:51
Speaker 2: that's where Alligator Alcatraz is. But anyway, it was a
23:54
Speaker 2: place to bring all the illegals into one place, and
23:57
Speaker 2: then they started processing them. He did a press conference
24:00
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Here's what he had to say about that,
24:02
Speaker 2: because Alligator Alcatraz is closing.
24:05
Speaker 9: But in terms of us managing this facility, the minute
24:10
Speaker 9: that that's no longer needed, then we obviously would break
24:13
Speaker 9: down to the facility. And so Alligator Alcatraz fulfilled the
24:18
Speaker 9: role that it was designed to serve. Today, it now
24:22
Speaker 9: has zero detainees. It has helped remove many, many dangerous
24:27
Speaker 9: people from the street and get them out of not
24:30
Speaker 9: only the state of Florida, but the United States of America.
24:34
Speaker 9: The detainees that were here are still in federal custody.
24:39
Speaker 9: The demobilization efforts here at this facility are underway. We
24:43
Speaker 9: stood this up. We surged critical resources. We built critical infrastructure.
24:49
Speaker 9: We were able to manage very complex operations, and we
24:53
Speaker 9: were able to efficiently execute the mission when called upon.
24:57
Speaker 2: Governor Ron DeSantis did a great job with that, and
25:01
Speaker 2: he also did a great job with some George Soros things.
25:05
Speaker 2: I'm going to get to that here in a few minutes.
25:06
Speaker 2: But before we do, there was one other ruling from
25:09
Speaker 2: SCOTUS last week, and it had to do with immigration
25:12
Speaker 2: officers and their ability to check people with green cards.
25:17
Speaker 2: And I don't know, did you catch that? It came
25:18
Speaker 2: out on Tuesday. It was a 6-3 decision. Clarence Thomas,
25:22
Speaker 2: he held that federal immigration law does not require border
25:26
Speaker 2: officers to to have clear and convincing evidence that green
25:30
Speaker 2: card holders have committed a disqualifying crime before preventing them
25:36
Speaker 2: from reentering the country. So that was something that came
25:39
Speaker 2: out Tuesday. I don't know that many people paid attention
25:42
Speaker 2: to that one.
25:42
Speaker 4: 6-3 in favor of that ruling?
25:44
Speaker 2: Yes, it was 6-3, yes. Conservatives.
25:47
Speaker 4: With alligator alcatraz, I wish he did quote some numbers
25:50
Speaker 4: on how many people they were able to process and
25:53
Speaker 4: deport and all of that. I mean, if it really
25:55
Speaker 4: is no longer needed, at least in that location, I
25:58
Speaker 4: would hope that means there's no more illegals there. But
26:02
Speaker 4: I don't know what percentage of Florida's population is here illegally.
26:05
Speaker 4: And where I am in Jersey, it's probably upwards of 10%.
26:09
Speaker 4: I would imagine it's I guess less there, but given
26:13
Speaker 4: his proximity to the border, but I guess with New Jersey,
26:17
Speaker 4: it's not exactly near the border either. So hard to know, but, um,
26:21
Speaker 4: what I, hopefully it's mission accomplished there.
26:24
Speaker 2: There were 24,000 they processed through. He did mention that.
26:27
Speaker 2: I didn't play that, but he did mention that in
26:30
Speaker 2: the press conference. So 24,000, 24,000 is the number.
26:33
Speaker 4: 25,000 just in that, you know, area means they're all gone.
26:37
Speaker 2: Yeah. Alcatraz, they have been processed and they're, wherever they're
26:41
Speaker 2: going to go, which is to a hearing, or maybe
26:44
Speaker 2: they've taken them out of the country. The process was
26:46
Speaker 2: to bring them there, have them be adjudicated, have their hearing,
26:51
Speaker 2: and then make a determination on what to do. It
26:54
Speaker 2: was an old airfield down there in the Everglades, and
26:56
Speaker 2: that's what they did. They transformed it into a place
26:59
Speaker 2: to hold the illegal immigrants, and now it is closed.
27:03
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Obama Library. That's something we have
27:06
Speaker 2: not talked about. Take it away.
27:08
Speaker 4: It's a disgusting eyesore. There's something about the left in
27:11
Speaker 4: architecture where they just want everything to be ugly. Like
27:14
Speaker 4: you can immediately tell a building is from the former
27:17
Speaker 4: Soviet Union and one of its constituent countries because it
27:20
Speaker 4: just looks like a demoralizing eyesore that makes you want
27:23
Speaker 4: to die and I guess turn to alcoholism. which did
27:26
Speaker 4: happen there. So maybe it's mission accomplished for that. But no,
27:29
Speaker 4: the left just loves, I don't know, sort of general ugliness.
27:35
Speaker 4: And we saw with the whole construction process too, they
27:38
Speaker 4: were trying to outsource it to only black firms. And
27:42
Speaker 4: then the black firms were claiming money Obama was engaging
27:47
Speaker 4: in racism against them. And it's the whole, I mean,
27:49
Speaker 4: I know it's the second time I'm making this kind
27:52
Speaker 4: of comment on the show, but it is a metaphor
27:54
Speaker 4: itself for the left in that everything they do is ugliness.
27:58
Speaker 4: Whenever they try to placate their own side, it just
28:00
Speaker 4: backfires against them. When you, when you are dealing with
28:03
Speaker 4: people who view everything as a racial grievance, if you
28:06
Speaker 4: try to accommodate them, even your accommodations will be viewed
28:09
Speaker 4: as such. Now, one part of this story that has
28:12
Speaker 4: been sort of buried in the media is the When
28:15
Speaker 4: they had an opening, when they opened it, they had
28:18
Speaker 4: a VIP list of people who were invited to go.
28:20
Speaker 4: Among those invited and present was Bill Ayers and his wife,
28:25
Speaker 4: Bernadine Dorn of the Weather Underground. Many people may recall
28:30
Speaker 4: during his campaign in 2008, his relationship with Ayers did
28:33
Speaker 4: come up quite a bit as a controversial issue. He
28:36
Speaker 4: tried to deny, you know, having any meaningful connection to Ayers.
28:40
Speaker 4: But yeah, turns out that two terrorists, former terrorists, did
28:44
Speaker 4: get a VIP invite to his library. If there were
28:48
Speaker 4: no people in the building, this is one building I
28:51
Speaker 4: would encourage the weather underground to bomb for the good
28:54
Speaker 4: of all humanity. Just joking for obvious reasons. But for
29:00
Speaker 4: everyone's eyes, I think it would be a plus.
29:03
Speaker 2: Well, they spent $ 850 million on that library. It cost
29:08
Speaker 2: $ 30 to get in. And have you paid any attention
29:11
Speaker 2: to all of the black contractors that are upset because
29:16
Speaker 2: they have been stiffed? They are owed millions of dollars.
29:20
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on that. That's going to be interesting
29:22
Speaker 2: as we go through that.
29:22
Speaker 4: I didn't realize they had actual grievances. Yes.
29:26
Speaker 2: No, they're not getting paid. That's a grievance for sure.
29:29
Speaker 2: It's a grievance for me anyway. John Bolton, he was finally,
29:33
Speaker 2: he pled guilty on Friday. Let's go to this clip.
29:37
Speaker 10: This morning, just moments ago, John Robert Bolton. II pled
29:41
Speaker 10: guilty in federal court to the unlawful retention of national
29:46
Speaker 10: defense information. According to the terms of the plea agreement, Mr.
29:51
Speaker 10: Bolton faces a maximum sentence of up to five years
29:55
Speaker 10: in prison. followed by a term of up to three
29:59
Speaker 10: years of supervised release. He will also pay a fine
30:04
Speaker 10: of $ 2. 25 million and will forfeit his pension under the
30:10
Speaker 10: Hiss Act.
30:11
Speaker 2: Thank goodness he's going to lose his pension. The last
30:14
Speaker 2: time you and I talked about this, a couple of
30:16
Speaker 2: weeks ago, it was a $ 2 million fine. Both of
30:19
Speaker 2: us sort of agreed that he's probably not going to
30:22
Speaker 2: go to prison, although he could get five years' I
30:25
Speaker 2: doubt that he will. I still doubt that he's ever
30:27
Speaker 2: going to go to prison, but $ 2. 25 million, that's a
30:29
Speaker 2: pretty good fine.
30:30
Speaker 4: It would have to be way more money than he
30:32
Speaker 4: made from his book. I mean, if he's getting 10
30:36
Speaker 4: or even a 20% royalty, that's, what, $ 10 to $ 20
30:40
Speaker 4: plus million in sales you would have to do to
30:42
Speaker 4: make that back?
30:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he didn't do that much, you think? Are
30:45
Speaker 2: people interested in what he has to say?
30:47
Speaker 4: Point is there's no way it's anywhere near that you
30:50
Speaker 4: know sales so yeah i mean you have to sell
30:52
Speaker 4: what probably a million copies to make that kind of money.
30:56
Speaker 2: You sell books books don't sell themselves i you know
30:59
Speaker 2: i don't know i have one i sell and it's
31:02
Speaker 2: not easy so.
31:03
Speaker 4: It's not a great way to make money to be
31:05
Speaker 4: honest but uh so it's a way to it's a
31:07
Speaker 4: good resume item and uh nothing else but no so
31:10
Speaker 4: he's gonna get wiped out there i mean i i
31:13
Speaker 4: I don't know what his net worth is. I mean,
31:16
Speaker 4: he's not really, uh, you know, it's not like government
31:18
Speaker 4: is really known for paying that well, but it's all
31:20
Speaker 4: the other side deals and corruption and all that do
31:23
Speaker 4: pay very well. I mean, you're in a, um, You're
31:27
Speaker 4: privy to inside information you can trade on. So I
31:29
Speaker 4: don't know what the guy's worth. I don't know if
31:31
Speaker 4: he's ever done any financial disclosures. But $ 2 million or $ 2. 25
31:35
Speaker 4: million is quite a bit. I don't know if they
31:37
Speaker 4: tacked on that extra amount in the past week or so.
31:41
Speaker 4: As you said, it previously was quoted at $ 2 million.
31:44
Speaker 4: So it would be funny if just last minute they
31:46
Speaker 4: added on some extra amounts. When it comes to the sentencing,
31:51
Speaker 4: and I would say I don't think this should play
31:54
Speaker 4: a role, but It probably for certain judges will play
31:59
Speaker 4: a role in that a five year sentence could be
32:02
Speaker 4: a de facto life sentence just giving his old age.
32:06
Speaker 4: Maybe that'll weigh a little bit. And also maybe the
32:10
Speaker 4: fact that he agreed to that fine will also weigh
32:14
Speaker 4: a little bit in that. Well, hey, that's. You're already
32:17
Speaker 4: paying so much. Is there really a point in adding
32:21
Speaker 4: on the jail time? I mean, now, obviously, if I
32:23
Speaker 4: was the judge, I would say yes. But I am
32:25
Speaker 4: assuming he might get a left-leaning federal judge that thinks
32:28
Speaker 4: this way.
32:29
Speaker 2: And John Bolton is 77 years old, to your point.
32:32
Speaker 2: He's getting up there toward the end of his life.
32:35
Speaker 2: And again, both of us agree he's probably not going
32:37
Speaker 2: to go in prison. We could be wrong. Who knows?
32:39
Speaker 2: Maybe he gets six months or something like that. You know, Matt,
32:42
Speaker 2: I want to stop for just a few minutes here
32:45
Speaker 2: and talk about George Soros. You wrote a couple of
32:48
Speaker 2: books on it, and the people that are viewing this
32:51
Speaker 2: show may not know that. It's a new show. They
32:54
Speaker 2: don't really know either one of us, the people watching this.
32:57
Speaker 2: They don't know us very well, probably. But in the
32:59
Speaker 2: case of your books about the Soros family, you had
33:02
Speaker 2: The Man Behind the Curtain about George Soros, and your
33:05
Speaker 2: latest book is The Heir. about Alex Soros. And again,
33:09
Speaker 2: let's go to Governor Ron DeSantis. I mentioned what a
33:11
Speaker 2: good job he's really doing in Florida. I don't think
33:14
Speaker 2: his political career is over. I have heard he has
33:16
Speaker 2: aspirations of possibly the Supreme Court. Maybe he would be
33:19
Speaker 2: a good one one day if he is ever able
33:22
Speaker 2: to be appointed. But he's done a good job in Florida.
33:25
Speaker 2: And listen to how he tackled a couple of Soros prosecutors.
33:30
Speaker 2: Here is Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida.
33:34
Speaker 3: Left and we beat people like George Soros on crime,
33:38
Speaker 3: you have in this country these prosecutors that are funded
33:42
Speaker 3: by Soros and other organs of the left, and they
33:46
Speaker 3: get in and they have an agenda to simply not
33:49
Speaker 3: prosecute criminals. We see it in Philadelphia with this guy Krasner.
33:54
Speaker 3: It's been a total disaster and has harmed a lot
33:57
Speaker 3: of people because of the dereliction of duty. Well, we
34:01
Speaker 3: have had two Soros prosecutors in Florida, one in Tampa
34:06
Speaker 3: and one in Orlando, and I removed both of them
34:09
Speaker 3: from their posts. And I'm the only governor in the
34:11
Speaker 3: country to do that.
34:15
Speaker 2: So, Matt, that is the way you take care of
34:17
Speaker 2: George and Alex Soros. But a little bit, tell people
34:21
Speaker 2: how George Soros has gone about this, because years ago,
34:25
Speaker 2: decades ago, he decided that, you know, $ 20 million will
34:30
Speaker 2: go a lot further with district of attorneys in places
34:33
Speaker 2: like St. Louis and Minneapolis and Manhattan than it ever
34:37
Speaker 2: would in a presidential race. And that's really where he
34:41
Speaker 2: kind of started to poison America in the judicial system.
34:47
Speaker 2: And he really did a really effective job. And now
34:50
Speaker 2: he's passing it over to Alex Soros, The Air, which
34:53
Speaker 2: is your latest book. So talk about the sources a
34:56
Speaker 2: little bit.
34:57
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess George Soros was a bit late to
34:59
Speaker 4: the game in learning the old adage that all politics
35:02
Speaker 4: is local. But not only is it local, it's way
35:05
Speaker 4: more easy to influence. And that a lot, you know,
35:07
Speaker 4: most people, if they're ever going to vote, it's in
35:09
Speaker 4: a national election and we get 30 or 40 percent
35:12
Speaker 4: turnout in those. If it's a district attorney election, like
35:16
Speaker 4: I will admit, as someone who is dialed into this,
35:19
Speaker 4: I can't think of the last time locally I've ever
35:22
Speaker 4: seen an advertisement for a DA election or when to
35:25
Speaker 4: turn out or anything. So it's something you have to
35:30
Speaker 4: kind of know to look for. And these are races
35:33
Speaker 4: where maybe 10% or fewer people turn out. And when
35:38
Speaker 4: that's the election, you can push extremely unpopular candidates in
35:44
Speaker 4: that if you're a candidate that you know, represents, I
35:48
Speaker 4: don't know, views that are 10% of the population, but
35:52
Speaker 4: the other 90% that's against it, only 5% of them
35:55
Speaker 4: turn out. Well, then the unpopular guy is going to
35:57
Speaker 4: win if you can mobilize that core batch of crazy people.
36:00
Speaker 4: And George Soros, when he goes local, he will spend
36:04
Speaker 4: hundreds of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars in
36:08
Speaker 4: elections where the other guy is getting maybe 10% of that.
36:11
Speaker 4: And it basically guarantees a victory and, you know, not
36:15
Speaker 4: quite guarantees, but it's a 90 plus percent success rate.
36:19
Speaker 4: So that's how he's been doing it. And they're all,
36:22
Speaker 4: you know, once you know one Soros DA, you kind
36:25
Speaker 4: of know them all. It's just, you know, what crazy
36:28
Speaker 4: cases for the made them a national name, but it's
36:30
Speaker 4: a lot of people that are against the death penalty
36:32
Speaker 4: that are sort of for infinite second chances for criminals. They're,
36:35
Speaker 4: against any sort of drug regulation whatsoever. They're against what
36:40
Speaker 4: they call crimes of necessity. So if you're a shoplifter, well,
36:45
Speaker 4: we can rebrand you that as a crime of necessity
36:48
Speaker 4: because surely you were one meal away from starving and
36:51
Speaker 4: that was your only option.
36:52
Speaker 2: Yeah.
36:53
Speaker 4: Or things like graffiti. Well, they don't count that as
36:55
Speaker 4: a crime. It's who's the who's the victim there. So
36:58
Speaker 4: we won't we won't enforce that. And they're all hypocrites.
37:01
Speaker 4: Like there was one, I think it was Deanna Becton,
37:04
Speaker 4: who decided, you know, we're not going to prosecute people
37:07
Speaker 4: for vandalism, including graffiti anymore. And within a few weeks
37:12
Speaker 4: of her making that decision, there was a couple that
37:14
Speaker 4: vandalized the Black Lives Matter mural with graffiti. And guess what?
37:20
Speaker 4: That she was able to make an exception for that. So,
37:22
Speaker 4: you know, it's not just are the laws weak or strong.
37:26
Speaker 4: It's what laws get enforced. And there is a there
37:29
Speaker 4: is a friend enemy distinction in politics in that if
37:33
Speaker 4: it is if the criminal is someone they sympathize with.
37:36
Speaker 2: They're going to get away with it.
37:37
Speaker 4: If the criminal is someone they do not sympathize with,
37:40
Speaker 4: the law all of a sudden is going to come
37:42
Speaker 4: down a thousand pounds on their head and smack them
37:45
Speaker 4: across the face. So it's not just they won't enforce
37:48
Speaker 4: the law. It's a question of who are they not
37:50
Speaker 4: enforcing the law against and who are they enforcing it for?
37:52
Speaker 4: And we see this a lot with the Soros D.A.,
37:55
Speaker 4: I mean, Chase Abudin in San Francisco who got ousted
37:59
Speaker 4: was a big one who just decided, you know what, shoplifting,
38:02
Speaker 4: go ahead, not a crime anymore. And there was videos
38:05
Speaker 4: every day of people filling up a garbage bag at
38:08
Speaker 4: Walgreens or CVS or whatever they have there and walking out.
38:11
Speaker 4: And there were security guards who do absolutely nothing. There
38:15
Speaker 4: was nothing. this paradox in San Francisco where the theft rate,
38:20
Speaker 4: it actually looked like it was going down, but it
38:23
Speaker 4: was because no one was reporting thefts because the cops
38:26
Speaker 4: couldn't do anything. So there, there was a month when
38:29
Speaker 4: chase of Boone was still in office where there was
38:32
Speaker 4: a single target location, one store in San Francisco. And
38:36
Speaker 4: they decided, um, you know what? Um, we're going to
38:40
Speaker 4: report every single shoplifting incident to the police just for
38:43
Speaker 4: this one month.
38:44
Speaker 1: Yeah.
38:44
Speaker 4: Now, they stopped because nothing actually ended up getting done.
38:48
Speaker 4: But for one month, they reported every shoplifting incident to
38:50
Speaker 4: the San Francisco police. The shoplifting rate for the entire
38:55
Speaker 4: city doubled that month from one store reporting all their thefts. Now,
39:01
Speaker 4: there are... tens of thousands of businesses in san francisco
39:05
Speaker 4: one of them was enough to double the crime rate
39:07
Speaker 4: so it just goes to show like just how masked
39:10
Speaker 4: the the extent really was in the official statistics um
39:14
Speaker 4: but when it comes to crimes that actually pretty much
39:17
Speaker 4: always get reported such as you know violent assault or
39:20
Speaker 4: murder we saw the george floyd there was a george
39:23
Speaker 4: floyd effect was especially pronounced in the cities that had
39:26
Speaker 4: soros DAs. Most of them assault, violent crime rates and
39:29
Speaker 4: homicides double. And those are, as I said, are very
39:31
Speaker 4: reliably reported. So it's been a complete disaster. I mean,
39:35
Speaker 4: the left, it's so bad that The highs of 2020
39:40
Speaker 4: and 2021 have come down quite a bit, and in
39:44
Speaker 4: blue cities too. But the crime rate went from here
39:48
Speaker 4: to here, and now it's fallen to here. And the
39:51
Speaker 4: left's going, wow, look at how much crime is falling.
39:54
Speaker 4: Thank God for us. It's like, well, it's still higher
39:57
Speaker 4: than it was five years ago. You can really pay
39:59
Speaker 4: credit for that. But that's the source agenda on crime.
40:02
Speaker 4: And Alex Soros, he actually took over funding these candidates
40:06
Speaker 4: in 2022. A lot of people don't know that. So
40:08
Speaker 4: a lot of the candidates that are getting named as
40:12
Speaker 4: George Soros DAs are Alex Soros DAs. These are people
40:15
Speaker 4: like Mary Mariah Tree up in Minneapolis, I believe. She
40:21
Speaker 4: was the one where Tim Wall's employee was... was vandalizing
40:28
Speaker 4: Teslas and did like $ 25, 000 worth of damage. And she
40:33
Speaker 4: let him plea out of that crime and claim, well,
40:36
Speaker 4: you know, it's just vandalism, blah, blah, blah. And then
40:40
Speaker 4: the same week she let that guy plead out, she
40:44
Speaker 4: criminally charged a woman for keying a car at a
40:46
Speaker 4: Waffle House. and did like $ 1, 000 worth of damage. So
40:50
Speaker 4: it goes back to my point of, it just depends
40:53
Speaker 4: on like, does the DA view the criminal as an ally?
40:57
Speaker 4: And if yes, no consequences. If you're a normal person,
41:01
Speaker 4: there might actually be consequences for you. But if you're
41:03
Speaker 4: from what they think is a victim class, no laws
41:06
Speaker 4: apply to you.
41:07
Speaker 2: Someone asked me the other day, how do you even
41:10
Speaker 2: get a sense of what's going to happen next? It's hard.
41:13
Speaker 2: I don't know that we can, the way the news
41:15
Speaker 2: moves so fast. But you know what I told them?
41:18
Speaker 2: I said, I've been checking out PolyMarket a little bit.
41:21
Speaker 2: It's extremely insightful. You're basically watching how thousands of people
41:26
Speaker 2: are betting on outcomes. Political elections, big policy moves, even
41:32
Speaker 2: events you wouldn't expect. It's kind of like a live
41:35
Speaker 2: pulse on what the public actually believes. And you can
41:39
Speaker 2: see trends before they even happen and before they even
41:43
Speaker 2: make the mainstream news. For me, it's not about gambling.
41:48
Speaker 2: It's about understanding the probabilities and where the momentum is shifting.
41:53
Speaker 2: If you like or love the news like I do,
41:56
Speaker 2: maybe you're a news junkie, but you want to take
41:58
Speaker 2: a little deeper look at what people really think, go
42:01
Speaker 2: to Polymarket. It's a fascinating tool. Polymarket.com. Matt Palumbo is
42:18
Speaker 2: the author of the Soros' books, and you can find
42:22
Speaker 2: them on Barnes & Noble and Amazon, I guess, either
42:26
Speaker 2: one of those places. You can just search his name,
42:29
Speaker 2: or you can also look for Man Behind the Curtain
42:32
Speaker 2: or The Heir are the names of those books. Both
42:35
Speaker 2: of them are great books, so I encourage you to,
42:36
Speaker 2: if you want to know more about the Soros family,
42:39
Speaker 2: you know, Matt, we have to have a boogeyman, don't we?
42:41
Speaker 2: And the Soros, George Soros was that, and I guess,
42:44
Speaker 2: as you've named the book, The Heir, Alex Soros will
42:47
Speaker 2: continue to be our boogeyman for, who knows, for however long.
42:52
Speaker 2: And by the way, I guess he's still engaged to
42:55
Speaker 2: be married to Anthony Weiner's ex-wife. No, they're married. They're
42:58
Speaker 2: already married, okay.
42:59
Speaker 4: Yeah, they had a star-studded wedding in the Hamptons last year.
43:04
Speaker 2: Okay, well, she gets passed around, doesn't she? Not invited.
43:08
Speaker 2: Citizen vigilante movie. What about this? Army Hammer. Do you
43:13
Speaker 2: remember that guy from 2021? He had all those sexual
43:17
Speaker 2: problems and escapades out in Hollywood and was the end
43:21
Speaker 2: of his career. Well, this is his first feature film
43:24
Speaker 2: since 2021. When all of that happened, talk about this
43:28
Speaker 2: because it's taken over X. It's taken over Twitter, social media.
43:32
Speaker 2: It's free for 48 hours. Citizen vigilante is the name
43:36
Speaker 2: of it.
43:37
Speaker 4: So I watched it last night. I paid her the
43:39
Speaker 4: day before I paid $ 7 on YouTube, like right before
43:42
Speaker 4: it became free.
43:43
Speaker 2: So that's good timing. Yeah. Not like it's.
43:46
Speaker 4: Breaking the bank or anything, but it would have funded
43:50
Speaker 4: the movie candy. But I liked it. It's not high culture.
43:54
Speaker 4: It's not high art. It is a movie you unplug
43:57
Speaker 4: your brain and watch. If you like the sort of
43:59
Speaker 4: like John Wick or Expendable movies, it's just that, but
44:02
Speaker 4: with migrants instead of random characters.
44:06
Speaker 2: But no, I thought it was good.
44:08
Speaker 4: And it's one of those things where even if you
44:10
Speaker 4: don't like the movie, the fact that it could be
44:13
Speaker 4: made says something. And the fact that a mainstream actor,
44:17
Speaker 4: you know, granted he got tried, they tried to cancel him.
44:19
Speaker 4: The fact that he would agree to it, uh, I
44:21
Speaker 4: think says a lot. I, I don't know. I was
44:24
Speaker 4: more impressed with the movie was made and it, it, um, when,
44:27
Speaker 4: when 99% of movies with a messenger on the other direction,
44:30
Speaker 4: it just does feel refreshing to see one kind of
44:34
Speaker 4: go your way.
44:35
Speaker 2: Well, let's recommend it. Let's watch this video from it.
44:38
Speaker 2: I have some video from it. So here, Here's the
44:40
Speaker 2: beginning of that movie, just to give you an idea.
44:46
Speaker 11: The nation is gripped by fear as a wave of
44:49
Speaker 11: shock sweeps the country. A mother was murdered in broad
44:52
Speaker 11: daylight in front of her child by another suspected undocumented migrant.
44:57
Speaker 11: Parents were afraid to let their children play outside, and
45:00
Speaker 11: many women avoid venturing out after dark altogether.
45:09
Speaker 2: So, Matt, what I'm getting from this is it's illegal
45:13
Speaker 2: immigrants or migrants that have come in, and then there
45:16
Speaker 2: is a citizen who takes it upon himself. And I guess,
45:20
Speaker 2: do we want to tell the ending of it? I
45:22
Speaker 2: know how it ends because I've read critics and what
45:25
Speaker 2: they've said about it because they say it's a terrible movie.
45:27
Speaker 2: You say it's a good movie. The mainstream media critics
45:31
Speaker 2: say it's awful. But the interesting part, Matt, though, before
45:35
Speaker 2: we go much further, Elon Musk posted this video out.
45:40
Speaker 2: That was all he posted, which is really interesting that
45:43
Speaker 2: his voice on X was used to promote this free
45:47
Speaker 2: video for 48 hours.
45:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, so he posted the full movie as well,
45:51
Speaker 4: which I think is what you're referencing. My wife says
45:54
Speaker 4: he paid, I think, $ 10 million to the filmmaker.
45:57
Speaker 2: For the rights to do that.
46:01
Speaker 4: That's cool. I mean, the filmmaker teased the second movie,
46:05
Speaker 4: and he made an AI poster of And it was the,
46:08
Speaker 4: you know, the poor Ukrainian girl who got murdered on
46:12
Speaker 4: the train was in the movie posters. I don't know
46:15
Speaker 4: if he's going to use that as a model for
46:17
Speaker 4: the next one. Maybe it's an American version. But I
46:20
Speaker 4: guess to... half spoil the ending. The good guy, the
46:24
Speaker 4: good guys win, obviously. I'm not going to go into
46:27
Speaker 4: much detail, but, um, you know, and it's not just
46:30
Speaker 4: migrants that are the bad guy in the movie. He
46:32
Speaker 4: is a kind of catch all vigilante who's against any, uh,
46:35
Speaker 4: sort of social disorder, uh, whether it be people stealing
46:39
Speaker 4: or not paying their bus fare and all that. And it's,
46:41
Speaker 4: you know, there's not even really a central plot. It's
46:43
Speaker 4: just him kind of going around enforcing the law. Um,
46:46
Speaker 4: he also targets some of these judges that, um, are
46:51
Speaker 4: letting rapists and murderers off easily. So, you know, it
46:54
Speaker 4: was just, I don't know, sort of nice to see
46:57
Speaker 4: a mindless action movie where the people who are the
47:00
Speaker 4: victims actually kind of deserve it for once. So I don't,
47:03
Speaker 4: I liked it. I recommend it. I would say people
47:06
Speaker 4: might be viewing this before a little too late when
47:09
Speaker 4: it's no longer free, but I think it was seven
47:12
Speaker 4: bucks on YouTube. As I said, from a high definition version,
47:15
Speaker 4: I thought it was worth it. Well, I've got one
47:17
Speaker 4: more clip and here is army hammer.
47:20
Speaker 7: I can't sit here and watch you exist in a
47:22
Speaker 7: state of sleep paralysis anymore.
47:25
Speaker 2: The truth is this.
47:28
Speaker 7: You are all being used. You are all nothing but
47:31
Speaker 7: play things. Every soldier who's gone off to war thinking
47:36
Speaker 7: that their death was for an idea or that their
47:40
Speaker 7: sacrifice was important for society has been played.
47:47
Speaker 2: Is that the way it was the entire time? It's
47:49
Speaker 2: an hour and a half was that pretty much it.
47:52
Speaker 4: Well it's a lot more action than that that's just
47:54
Speaker 4: i sort of play that before and after he uh
47:57
Speaker 4: goes off on people uh with extreme violence but uh.
48:01
Speaker 2: Maybe maybe he'll get a career back on track after.
48:04
Speaker 4: Probably not from this movie not from this one to
48:06
Speaker 4: what his politics are because he in i think 2018
48:10
Speaker 4: starred in a a very cringeworthy broadway play called uh
48:15
Speaker 4: I think it was called straight white man or something
48:18
Speaker 4: white men where it's, you know, self-flagellating cringe fest. So
48:22
Speaker 4: I don't know. Did he just take this movie because
48:24
Speaker 4: he can't find anything else?
48:25
Speaker 2: I think so.
48:26
Speaker 4: Aligned with this after being canceled and now hates the left.
48:30
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I do hope they do the sequel. Yeah,
48:32
Speaker 2: I think he took it because he needed it. Really,
48:36
Speaker 2: I do. From where he came from in 2021 to now.
48:39
Speaker 2: So anyway, check that movie out.
48:42
Speaker 4: And we should point out, too, I know that the DA,
48:44
Speaker 4: the local DA, did investigate the claims against him and
48:48
Speaker 4: could not find any evidence.
48:49
Speaker 2: Corroborated.
48:50
Speaker 4: So, listen, it seems like all of these men in
48:53
Speaker 4: Hollywood are sex pests to a different degree. But it
48:57
Speaker 4: seems like there was not evidence he did anything criminally wrong,
49:00
Speaker 4: I guess. I mean, I'm not trying to defend the
49:02
Speaker 4: guy just because I like one movie he acted in.
49:06
Speaker 2: No, I'm glad you did. I'm glad you straightened that
49:08
Speaker 2: out for us. Because I wouldn't want to make people
49:11
Speaker 2: think from the things that I said that he did
49:14
Speaker 2: something illegal because that's not the case. But if you
49:16
Speaker 2: remember all of that back in 2021, if you don't,
49:18
Speaker 2: go back. and Google it and remember it, or at
49:22
Speaker 2: least learn about it. What about Caitlin Clark? I know
49:25
Speaker 2: you are no sports fan. We talk about this quite
49:27
Speaker 2: a bit, sort of as a joke, you and I do,
49:30
Speaker 2: because we know each other well enough to know that
49:32
Speaker 2: you know absolutely nothing about sports, and we make a
49:35
Speaker 2: joke about it. However, Caitlin Clark is something I want
49:38
Speaker 2: to bring up because... This kind of gets into culture
49:40
Speaker 2: and society. Are you keeping up with any of this
49:43
Speaker 2: because social media is blowing up with what happened to
49:47
Speaker 2: Caitlin Clark? Are you paying attention to this?
49:50
Speaker 4: So not by choice, but yes. Anytime anything happens with
49:53
Speaker 4: her in a game, it does make right-wing news. And listen,
49:56
Speaker 4: it's a very obvious case of a woman being targeted
50:00
Speaker 4: either out of resentment due to her talent or because
50:03
Speaker 4: of her skin color. She has tried to pander to
50:06
Speaker 4: Black Lives Matter in the past and accepting awards for
50:10
Speaker 4: her skills in basketball, doing the whole, you know, well,
50:12
Speaker 4: black women paved the road for me, blah, blah, blah.
50:16
Speaker 4: I don't know if she actually believes that or was
50:18
Speaker 4: just told by whoever does her PR to say that
50:21
Speaker 4: or if she thought it would reduce the amount of
50:23
Speaker 4: violence against her or whatever. It's not working if that
50:25
Speaker 4: was the goal. But no, I saw a video recently
50:28
Speaker 4: where it looked like she was basically punched in the
50:31
Speaker 4: neck while she was on the ground. And I think
50:33
Speaker 4: the woman... who punched or got a one-game penalty. One-game suspension.
50:39
Speaker 2: That was it. One game.
50:40
Speaker 4: If you look at what WNBA athletes make, it's only
50:44
Speaker 4: going to cost you like $ 45. So it's basically nothing. Well,
50:48
Speaker 4: let's go through some facts here. I did some research
50:51
Speaker 4: on this. I was just curious, you know, when the
50:54
Speaker 4: tide rises, all boats will tend to raise up with them.
50:59
Speaker 4: And that's what's happened. 2022, average WNBA attendance was 5,500.
51:05
Speaker 4: Average salary was $ 110, 000. Kaitlyn Clark was drafted 2024. 2026,
51:12
Speaker 4: the average attendance this year, 11,000 people. The average salary, $ 550, 000.
51:18
Speaker 4: Five times the salary since Kaitlyn Clark came in. And
51:25
Speaker 4: they're doing this. Watch this. Here's this video you talked about.
51:29
Speaker 4: I think this is in slow motion, too, so watch
51:31
Speaker 4: this punch to the neck. That's I mean, the eye contact.
51:35
Speaker 4: It's not it wasn't you push.
51:38
Speaker 2: Oh, my God.
51:38
Speaker 4: Sorry.
51:39
Speaker 2: It was clearly deliberate.
51:40
Speaker 4: I was I was only smiling as the video played
51:43
Speaker 4: was I was going to say it wasn't in reaction
51:44
Speaker 4: to the video. I was going to say when I
51:46
Speaker 4: said the one day suspension will cost the woman forty
51:49
Speaker 4: five dollars. I didn't realize the salaries had gone up
51:52
Speaker 4: that much.
51:53
Speaker 2: Yeah. Five times.
51:54
Speaker 4: I thought they were making like $ 50, 000 a year, in
51:56
Speaker 4: which case it was a tongue-in-cheek job.
51:57
Speaker 2: Well, they did, not too long ago. They were making $ 40, 000
52:00
Speaker 2: or $ 50, 000. A lot of them had to have different
52:02
Speaker 2: jobs in the offseason, kind of like the golfers. The
52:07
Speaker 2: PGA golfers used to have other jobs during the offseason.
52:12
Speaker 2: Same thing for WNBA. Nobody went to the games. I
52:14
Speaker 2: would rather watch paint dry on a wall than watch
52:17
Speaker 2: their games. My daughter happens to love Caitlin Clark and
52:20
Speaker 2: inspires her. And now she's seeing Caitlin Clark and, you know,
52:23
Speaker 2: getting punched in the throat and being fouled very hard
52:27
Speaker 2: all the time. And unfortunately, I think maybe WNBA eventually,
52:33
Speaker 2: when Caitlin Clark goes away, will become nothing more than
52:36
Speaker 2: a spirit airline of basketball. You know, I think. Does
52:40
Speaker 2: that make any sense to you?
52:41
Speaker 4: What's going to happen is it's going to collapse without her.
52:44
Speaker 4: The narrative will shift to like, oh, it's because of racism.
52:48
Speaker 4: They don't want to see the sport where the most
52:50
Speaker 4: talented white person left. It's going to be some brain
52:53
Speaker 4: rotting narrative. We're going to have to hear from the
52:55
Speaker 4: liberal media on why it collapses after her.
52:57
Speaker 2: There is a pastor in Louisiana. His name is Tony Snell.
53:01
Speaker 2: And he was doing some work on the church bus
53:04
Speaker 2: at the church. And a neighbor came over and started
53:08
Speaker 2: yelling at him and told him, when you leave, I'm
53:12
Speaker 2: going to rape and kill your wife and grandchildren. And
53:16
Speaker 2: this is what the pastor did. now matt this video
53:33
Speaker 2: goes on and on it's he ended up getting this
53:36
Speaker 2: guy on the ground had him on his stomach and
53:40
Speaker 2: was wailing away at his head he was arrested obviously
53:44
Speaker 2: for assault what do you think about.
53:46
Speaker 4: That well i read um One of the headlines said
53:49
Speaker 4: that he said God told him to do it, and
53:51
Speaker 4: I believe him. Really?
53:53
Speaker 2: I don't know. I didn't see that headline. Did you
53:56
Speaker 2: see that, really? No, I'm not joking.
53:58
Speaker 4: When you mentioned it before the show, I just did
53:59
Speaker 4: a quick Google so I had a talking point.
54:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, good.
54:02
Speaker 4: Also, I don't get, as an aside, when people honk
54:05
Speaker 4: when they see a fight, like, do they think that
54:07
Speaker 4: the people fighting are going to be like, oh, all right,
54:09
Speaker 4: it's all right?
54:10
Speaker 1: What do you think of the conflict?
54:14
Speaker 2: I don't know. Why not stop the car? Why not
54:16
Speaker 2: stop the car and go break them up and just
54:18
Speaker 2: honk on the way by? Let's, real quick, before we
54:21
Speaker 2: get to the end of this hour, let's get serious
54:24
Speaker 2: about Iran real quick. We had, you know, the cargo
54:27
Speaker 2: ship that was bombed with a drone by Iran last week.
54:32
Speaker 2: And then Friday, Donald Trump and the Trump administration decided
54:36
Speaker 2: to respond and retaliate for that. But you had Marco
54:39
Speaker 2: Rubio that is quietly working on peace with between Hamas
54:44
Speaker 2: and Israel in Lebanon. Let's go to this video. God
54:47
Speaker 2: bless Israel. May God bless Lebanon.
54:51
Speaker 4: May God bless the United States of America and all
54:53
Speaker 4: those who pursue peace.
54:55
Speaker 11: Thank you.
54:56
Speaker 2: And Matt, they signed that agreement. So I guess we're
54:59
Speaker 2: moving forward. This is another one of those things that
55:02
Speaker 2: needed to be accomplished in that 60 days as that
55:05
Speaker 2: 60 day clock is continuing to tick. And, you know,
55:08
Speaker 2: we see Iran and America still going at each other,
55:11
Speaker 2: which is I guess disheartening, the Trump administration, they touted,
55:16
Speaker 2: you know, I think Donald Trump said the most ever
55:18
Speaker 2: ships came through the Strait of Hormuz. And it was 70,
55:21
Speaker 2: which was up quite a bit. That's not a record.
55:24
Speaker 2: That's not the most ever. On a regular day before
55:27
Speaker 2: all this started, it was about 100 ships. But we
55:29
Speaker 2: had oil down below $ 70. So who knows? Maybe things
55:33
Speaker 2: are progressing in that 60-day time period.
55:36
Speaker 4: I mean, let's hope so. I mean, we have the
55:38
Speaker 4: ceasefire with Iran, which has already been violated by them.
55:42
Speaker 4: We had a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and Gaza.
55:45
Speaker 4: And I think there's been a thousand or so deaths
55:48
Speaker 4: since the ceasefire took effect. So let's hope it sticks.
55:52
Speaker 4: But the precedent so far has been that it's not
55:55
Speaker 4: really sticking. It's just an improvement over, you know, what
55:58
Speaker 4: the status was before it. But I think I mean,
56:01
Speaker 4: I think everyone is hoping for peace at this point.
56:02
Speaker 4: I think we now have the benefit of hindsight. And
56:06
Speaker 4: it does seem that Israel convinced Trump that this was
56:09
Speaker 4: going to be another One of his sort of one-off
56:11
Speaker 4: strikes that in the past has always been a success.
56:14
Speaker 4: This time he got drawn in.
56:15
Speaker 1: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
56:19
Speaker 1: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
