  Speaker 4: Tell everybody what's going on.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so, as you know, and the way that you and I met, I'm an author and my first book was released a couple of years ago Keep Moving, Keep Shooting.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm an author and my first book was released a couple of years ago Keep moving, keep shooting and since then, a lot of things have progressed.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I've changed publishers and, thankfully, after a few years and a lot of people asking, begging, yelling at me, threatening titled Cross the Bear, and it will be available for purchase Tuesday at Amazon, Barnes, Noble and other various locations for your ordering.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: So very, very happy about that.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: It's been a journey.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, if you purchase it, there's a sneak peek into book three, which is also already done.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: And yeah, and and yeah, so that's, that's the big news.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Tuesday, Tuesday's the big day.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Big day Tuesday Very exciting.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I love new release weeks.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: They're so fun.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: But there's so much that you do in in preparation for it, right, it's like it's a little overwhelming.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: So when the when the release day actually comes, you actually get to like kind of breathe a little bit.
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, so that's like insider information.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: There's so much stuff guys.
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: We'll take some time one day and kind of talk about that for anybody who's interested in authorship stuff.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: That's we geek out over it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: So we could probably take like a whole 60 minutes of just talking book stuff easily.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: But, guys, make sure you stay to the very end or listen.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: If you gotta go get some popcorn or get to a drink or go to the bathroom whatever, hurry up and come back for the end of the show, because we have a special teaser for you at the end too.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: So the I would love for you guys to see yeah, um, so, yeah.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: So that'd be super fun, but in the meantime we have quite a few topics.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Um, um, we.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: We kind of called it a slow news week, but there's still.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: We still have like seven topics, right.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, at first I did.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, it's a slow news week when I pick topics, as I normally do, and send them off to Elsa on Tuesday morning.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, it's a slow week.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: And I was like, topic, topic, topic, topic.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And I was like you came back and added another one.
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I did, I did, I couldn't resist it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: All right, guys.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: So here's what we have coming up, and we'll be right back after this and we'll start talking about it.
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: Another week, another pile of headlines.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: The media mangles.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: Rosie O'Donnell rushed to blame MAGA for a Minnesota shooting.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: Facts proved the opposite.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: Chicago leaders pretend crime is down, while families still duck bullets.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Epstein victims demand unredacted truth.
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: Jerry Nadler bows out as Chelsea Clinton circles in and the US Navy flexes muscle against cartels in the Caribbean.
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: Oh, and Greta's back with her Gaza flotilla photo op just in time for football season.
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: Buckle up.
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: This is the Elsa Kurtz show with Clay Novak.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: So, as you can see, I had a little bit of fun with those images.
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: I get a little chuckle out of my shenanigans there.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, so we're starting off.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: You know, I think the last couple shows we started off with like just the heaviest stuff that we had to kind of just tackle and get out of the way.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: This one, you know, the origin topic is obviously very heavy.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That was our first topic last week.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: We talked about the shooting last week.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know I tune her out, I stop.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: You know it's hard because everybody else brings attention to her.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: I know that she's Rosie O'Donnell, is one of President Trump's favorite people to go after and she really stuck her foot in her mouth this time in her immediate reaction to the shooting.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: You said you've got video.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: I do.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: I do so.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Here it is, and I apologize, guys.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: She has this terrible habit of taking these videos that are, like you know, practically right up her nose and it's not the most pleasant thing.
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: But here's what she had to say.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I think I have it in its entirety, so let's take a listen.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Go to shooting.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And it brought me right back to Columbine in 1999 when I just could not get it through my head that students in America were shooting each other in schools.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And this was a church inside a Catholic school.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: And what do you know?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: It was a white guy, republican, maga person, what do you know?
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: White supremacist.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Well, what do you know?
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Rosie was dead wrong on that and she was very swiftly and aggressively told as much she claims.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Well, I'll play her apology video in just a moment, but we'll just make some corrections on her statements there for anybody who doesn't know.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: I can't imagine who doesn't know at this point, but you might not know if you listen to people like Rosie, which people on the left who are not immersed in all of this stuff, just casual watchers of news, which means they are probably watching mainstream news and getting you know very swayed information.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: I almost use the word facts.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: They're not getting facts at all, but but the case was, as we well know, the shooter was anti-Trump.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: The all of the facts of what happened undermine everything that she claimed in that video.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: So, yeah, so, anyhow.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: So she gets wind of.
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: She claimed she was away for a few days and you know, just came back to her phone and was like oh, wow, what's this?
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: And her apology is equally, if not more, insulting than her actual statement.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Before you roll the apology yeah.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: White male.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what she got right.
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the only you're right, that is the only thing that she got right.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: And you know, and it's.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: It's really funny when these you know virtue signaling liberal celebrities make these you know mistakes.
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: They're not mistakes, they're saying the accidental truth that they don't mean to say no-transcript.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: And many people in the comments agree.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: I've posted a video about it, gave a little commentary on it and we all are of the same mind.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: It's not really an issue of us, like this side of the aisle.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: I hate saying that, but it's just what you have to say.
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: None of us are buying any of these BS narratives but unfortunately, there are people who are buying it and this is why you have people like Rosie, who have a platform to say the kinds of things that they're saying.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: So, you know, my small hope is is that if my video, or someone like me or you who's making content about the things that they're saying and correcting them, maybe hopefully it gets over to the other side and somebody will see it and go oh wait, wait a minute, I don't know it's.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: You know it's a wild, silly hope, but I have it nonetheless.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: So here's here's her apology video, ready for this.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Buddy, it's Rosie O'Donnell, star of the Flintstones.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: Listen, I have a cold sore, I know happens to get run down, you know.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I know a lot of you were very upset about the video I made before I went away.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: For a few days I didn't go online and haven't seen them till today.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: But you are right, I few days I didn't go online and haven't seen them till today.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: But you are right, I did not do my due diligence before I made that emotional statement and I said things about the shooter that were incorrect.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: I assumed, like most shooters, they followed a standard MO and have standard you know feelings of, you know NRA loving kind of gun people.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Anyway, the truth is I messed up and when you mess up you fess up.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: This is my apology video and I hope it's enough.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: So listen, this wasn't an apology video, this was a doubling down video.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: This was her doubling down on her, on her rhetoric.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: That you know that, according to her, most if not all of the mass shooters, with this one exception, apparently they all follow the same MO, according to Rosie O'Donnell, and that same MO is that they are all, what'd you say?
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: Nra gun loving?
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so, and I made a response video to that as well.
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: So of course I did right.
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: I won't bother putting up here.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: You guys can find it on the, on the on my page.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: But you know, the gist of it is is one I'm really sick and tired of of everyone with a platform larger than than ours Pointing these fingers at one particular thing.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: Because I took the time and I know there's lots of other people who also took the time to say hang on a second, is it?
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: You know?
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Because the right there, I'm not going to.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not going to.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: I don't want to generalize.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: There are people on the right who are very quick and have been saying all of the shooters, mass shooters, have been transgendered people.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: What's going on here with the transgender community?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: And they're all this and blah, blah, blah, and we know that's not true.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: Like if you pause for a minute, you know that's not true.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And of course, the left is saying things like Rosie says that they're all NRA gun loving MAGA hat wearing white men.
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: None of these things are actually true.
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: But there is only one truth that you can say uniformly for just about all of them, including the ones that were like criminally motivated, you know, maybe to cover up another crime or whatever the case is.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: The one similarity that they all have is mental illness.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: This is the topic.
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Mental illness is the actual topic and, in fairness, the percentage of trans identifying shooters in these incidents is fractional.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: It's very small, the number of white supremacists claiming white supremacist shooters even less actually.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: But the one thing that stands true for all of them is that there are underlying emotional, psychological distress going on with these people and they were allowed, for whatever reason they were allowed to get to this point in their psychosis to do something like this that they have done.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: So I don't really understand why we're so afraid and careful about talking about that and naming it, and we're not.
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: The left doesn't want to call anything mental illness, because they applaud and celebrate mental illness clearly, so I have just run my mouth so much Clay, speak Clay.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: No, your point about mental illness is spot on.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: We talked about the DSM-5 last week no longer classifying, you know, gender dysphoria as a mental illness, However, acknowledging that people who have or, you know, suffer from gender dysphoria have, a significant percentage of them have other mental illness issues, etc.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's the common thread amongst all this is anyone who goes into any event, you know, any location whatever with the intent to do harm to a number of people, any people, not just children, although that's primarily in this case and obviously any school shooting, you know, targets children.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: It's not just about hurting children.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Anyone who has that mentality, it's a mental illness.
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I don't care if Las Vegas shooter, you know, nightclub shooter, it doesn't matter.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: It is a mental illness issue and you're right there's.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: You know we're at a bit of a crux when it comes to, you know, where does the line, where is the line right, On a person having the right to exist, the person having, you know, the right to be whatever you want to call it, you know, eccentric, whatever before it becomes a mental illness issue.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: If you go back to when we were kids I know this sounds a little crazy, but think back to cartoons, right, that were produced in the 40s, 50s and 60s that we watched in the 70s, 80s and even in the early 90s.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: You know, you watch the old Tom and Jerry's, the old, you know, literally crazy person.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Ambulance pulls up, two guys jump out, they slap a straitjacket on the guy, they throw him in the back of the truck and he ends up in a rubber room.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Listen, that is not all that far fetched Like as a protective measure for that individual and for society.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: We used to do things like that, Right, Right.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Think about the mental institutions that no longer exist in the United States because we don't put people in them anymore.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Right, Until, after the fact, when there's a criminal act associated, we do nothing preventative.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: And I know that's a slippery slope and I know it's a very delicate issue, especially and the gun owning public is also complicit in this or part of this argument because there is the red flag law argument where, you know, and a law abiding gun owner, the last thing they want is some other person who doesn't agree with them, a family member or somebody else who says, no, that person's crazy, they should have all their guns taken away.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Right, and so the firearm community, the two way community, fights against that type of mental health interdiction to protect themselves.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: And on the flip side, we've got a more of a you know the liberal side of that argument who are, all for you know, drug injection points on the street.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: All for like, you know, all for you know, bisexual cross-dressing parades through downtown, which you know would have 50 years ago, would have landed everybody in jail or in an asylum.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: So we have not, in modern America, come to grips with the mental health issue issues that lead us to situations like Minnesota, because as much as the right or the left blames the right for not wanting to give up guns to protect children, the right blames the left for not wanting to give up, you know, um, cross-dress or story time to protect children, Right.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: So it's the and and really it all comes to a point based on exactly what you said, which is the demographics are very mixed.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Um, it comes to a mental health issue, whether it's a transgender person, someone who was bullied, someone who was abused, someone who's you know whatever reason it gets to a mental health issue.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Whether it's a transgender person, someone who was bullied, someone who was abused, someone who is, you know, whatever reason.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It gets to a point where it becomes a violent act and we have this absolute reluctance to act before the violent act happens, which we didn't used to have.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: And so the argument where we're all kind of stuck I don't care what side of the aisle you're on is what do we do to prevent this?
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: When it comes to mental health, and I will tell you what Rosie did, I, you know I.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I said this, I have taught you, you have become much better about.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Initial report is always wrong, right, Right.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: This one, Minnesota.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: I didn't react at all because I knew whatever came across the wire in the first hour or two was going to be garbage.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: She didn't.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: She didn't have the common sense.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: She didn't.
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: Well, because she's dumb, truthfully, she didn't have the sense to keep her mouth shut until the facts came out, and neither does our media, which perpetuates part of the problem as well.
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: You know, you and I were talking, before we started recording, about the use of AI to generate quick responses to incidences, and that's really what our media does.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe not, I'm sure they probably use AI, but it's really the quick response.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Whoever gets to the story first, accurate or not, we'll print a retraction later, which they never do.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: You know they jump on those things without having all the facts and they make a statement or make a case in one direction or the other, which is what Rosie did.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Now, as to her apology, you're right, it wasn't an apology, no-transcript, a mass shooter, and you don't even know it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Um right, we don't have those conversations and I hate to say this.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Maybe we should, yeah, maybe we should.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: I I don't know.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Well, mental health is to your point.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Mental health is the culmination, it's the pinnacle of where all of this goes sideways and we've got to figure out a way to address it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: Right, and you know to to your really good points too, about both sides, for different reasons and in different ways, for different reasons and in different ways, fighting against better mental health care or treatment or response to.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, and it is something that both sides can or should.
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: I don't, I don't, I guess I can't say can, because obviously, if we could, we would have by now, but it is certainly something that we should all be coming together on, because I mean, I think, in the most general sense, I think there are a couple, a handful of things that we could all agree on, whichever side you're on, and I would like to believe that the first and foremost that we can all agree on is that we want and need for our children to be safe.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, that seems like the most basic, like, if we can't find anything else to agree on, I know somebody will jump in and say something about the left and their love for abortion.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Yes, we're going to set that aside for now, because I know that comment is coming and I don't disagree with it.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: But I'm not talking about talking about our kids in school, our kids in church, our kids out on the street, all of those things you know.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: So I mean, I feel like we can come to that decision or, you know, conclusion that we all agree that children should be protected, and you know then, of course, then where the conversation breaks down is where everybody has different ideas of how to do that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: The left will say, well, if you get rid of all of the guns in all of existence and all of the world, everything will be perfectly fine.
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: And the right pretty much just walks away at that point because it is such profoundly delusional, ridiculous thinking that you can't even have a conversation.
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: So I just I don't.
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: I guys, I wish I had, I believe me, I wish I had the answers.
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: You know, don't I guys?
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: I wish I had, I believe me, I wish I had the answers.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: You know, I love being right, everything.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: We've had that conversation.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: How I love to be right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: I know I'm right about this.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Um, what I don't know, and can't even be right or wrong about, is that I don't know what the solution is.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe we'll have to ask AI.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I shouldn't, I shouldn't even joke about that, I guess.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: Apparently, people get mad the termin.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Terminator enters the chat.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: Right, seriously, oh my goodness.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so I mean, that's the gist of the Rosie thing, and you know, I know I'm preaching to the choir.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: We're preaching to the choir when we say to our audience, like, don't be sucked in by these kind of you know, ridiculous narratives.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: You know ridiculous narratives.
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: But you know, the thing I always go back to is man, oh man, make sure you can have something to come back with to respond to that.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: I'm such a huge fan of knowing your facts and having those facts just ready.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: I don't care if you have to write them down, I don't care if you write them on your hand or if you got to pull them up on your phone, but you know, when people do these things, it's not enough.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: And I know so many people will say things like just ignore them, don't, don't give them more of a platform, don't, you know?
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Don't feed into it.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: The fact is is they are platformed, they are out there, they are spreading these, these lies, to other people and we do have a responsibility At least I feel like I have a responsibility to put truth out there.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: I mean, if I, if I've been blessed with a platform to speak from, I don't expect that everybody's going to agree with me, but I do think it is my responsibility, given the chosen path I I'm on.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I do have a responsibility to to say something about it and correct it if I can.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: So so, yes, guys, I know we don't, we don't care what Rosie has to say, but there are actually I know we don't understand it People who do listen and believe and care on all those things.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: All right, I'm done with Rosie.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: Are you done with Rosie?
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: So I'm so done with Rosie.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: Our next, Can you take the lead of crime, violent crime specifically, and then also to assist ICE.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: It's coming closer and closer to fruition.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: There's been a lot of back and forth between President Trump, governor Pritzker and the mayor of Chicago, who is complete and total bonehead, and it even came to a head today.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, it's Wednesday.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: We started recording at 430 Eastern Time, but today, you know, president Trump was in a press conference.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: He begged Governor Pritzker to call him, you know, talking about Chicago.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: The stance that Governor Pritzker has taken in the mayor of Chicago is that crime in Chicago is not that bad.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Immediately after Labor Day weekend, where 50, I think the latest count was 58 people shot, eight people killed.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Violence is down in Chicago 574 murders in the city last year alone.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: The crime is down.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: But they took the stance that it is uh guns coming in from red states, specifically indiana, which is, you know, right around the corner from chicago.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: That's where the guns are coming in from.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: That it is indiana's fault now that there's crime in chicago.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Not at all.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Talking about the fact that illinois, uh, outside of chicago, especially once you get outside of Cook County, the city itself becomes very red very quickly.
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: So it's Indiana's fault.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Those guns are coming in illegally.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Everything that's being done in Illinois is perfectly fine.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: It's Indiana's fault.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Illegal guns from there and that's why we have violent crime in Chicago, which is absolutely ridiculous.
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: Right, and it's also Trump's fault, right, I think.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I actually even have a video for this.
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: It Right and it's also Trump's fault, right?
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I think?
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: I think I actually even.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: It's always.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: It's always Trump's fault, I think, I think that's what this one is.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: Let's find out.
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Come from red states?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, they are coming from Indiana, they are coming from Mississippi, they are coming from Louisiana.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: That is the harsh reality, whether Republicans like it or not, occupying our city will do nothing to solve this problem.
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: Shootings will continue as long as this presidential administration continues to put politics over people.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah, which is exactly what these idiots are doing.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Doesn't it like make your head explode when they say things like this?
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: Like who's putting politics over people?
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, what now?
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: Are you kidding?
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: It's sometimes Clay.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: They make me speechless.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson keep in mind is you know, lori Lightfoot was the previous mayor of Chicago.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: She was essentially run out of office.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: He was elected to replace her and in the conditions of that election it was the highest percentage vote and if I remember it wasn't a majority, it was like the highest percentage and there was a because it was essentially an unrestricted election.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: There was a ton of candidates.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I think he was somewhere in the 25 to 29 percent range.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: He just happened to get the most votes.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: So he's incompetent and he's been incompetent since the day he walked in.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: We never, chicago, never, thought that things could be worse than Lori Lightfoot.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Proved ourselves wrong yet again for this bonehead, you know.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And then we've got Governor Pritzker, you know, who's truthfully never worried, suffered.
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: He comes from an extremely wealthy family.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: You know he was governor through COVID, which you know he put a ton of restrictions on Illinois during COVID and then fled the state, was in Florida, was in Wisconsin, you know, at his family's ranches doing work.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen him, but him and Chris Christie have the same athletic, have the same athletic build.
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: So there's not a lot of work going on for Governor Pritzker, but especially not ranch work.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: But regardless, both of them have only the interest of politics in mind when it comes to this.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: They're not.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: They've totally disregarded and we talked about Washington DC last week They've totally disregarded the short term success of Washington DC In this.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: They, you know it can't have that, can't?
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: It won't work in Chicago.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Ok, well, why not?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: And they can't give you a reason other than the fact that you know, orange man bad, trump is bad.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: It's all Trump, exactly.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Blah, blah, blah, blah, um, you know so.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: It's all about politics, it's all about power, um, and and the to the city's credit the citizens of Chicago who live downtown.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the white suburban soccer moms who are weighing in on this, who really have no business sticking their nose into what happens in the city.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the folks that live downtown.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Brandon Johnson got lambasted in a town hall meeting either late last week or early this week from the citizens of Chicago who live in the worst neighborhoods, who are begging to have help for the Chicago Police Department, in the sense of the National Guard.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: President Trump sending that in, begging for it, and he just stood there stoically, didn't say a word, you know, and then walked out.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: So he's probably listening to that 26% of the constituency that actually voted for him and not the 70, whatever percent that didn't.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: But this is complete and total incompetency in the sense of they're not even willing to discuss or consider this as a possibility in it as a short term solution to help fix the city of Chicago.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: Won't do it.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: And again it's it's politics over people all day long, twice on Sundays.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, no question about it.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: You know you're talking about Pritzker.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, this is the guy who you know takes every media opportunity to say things like you know.
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, everything for them is is just a media opportunity for them Ways to line their pockets and, like you said, you know whoever Brandon Johnson law enforcement from those impoverished crime ridden areas to protect her and her family or her wife or girlfriend, whatever the case was, I don't know.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: But to protect, hide the multiple instances of domestic violence.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, how about that?
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: You know, but no, nobody knows about that, nobody talked about that.
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: But you know, I mean, that's where you know, that's where you feel a little gut wrenched about it, because when you think about those people that are so desperate, they just want to, you know just, they just want to be safe, they just want to be able to go outside and go to the store and, you know, sit out on their front stoop on a summer night and they can't do any of those things because it is so unsafe.
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: And these people in their little ivory towers are, you know, dictating, telling the world that no, they're fine, they don't need anything Like it's easy for them to say because they're not experiencing this.
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: This isn't their life, you know, and all the I shared a picture it was an image of image of.
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: It was I mean, I'll give you the literal, the literal description of it it was a bunch of, it was a selfie of sorts of a bunch of white hands with one particular finger raised, I think.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Was it at Trump Tower?
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was at Trump Tower.
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: Right, yeah, yes.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Trump power, right, yeah, yes.
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: And you know, is them giving the FU to Trump and to the administration for wanting to send help to reduce the crime in the area and if that wasn't like the poster child of, you know, slap in the face is an insult to injury that you know nice and easy for you guys are going to get your lattes, your soy latte, over at Starbucks and you know you took your selfie with your iPhone, your latest iPhone, and you're just going to leave the area and be fine.
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: So your big, you know, your big statement means absolutely nothing whatsoever to the people that are living this life right now and dealing with all of it.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: So shame on all of them.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: It is disgusting and you know my heart goes out to the people that are just trying to survive, just trying to raise their families.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: You know, awful, more, more.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: I guess we're on a roll here.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Victims let's talk about victims Epstein this is.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: This is pretty amazing.
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I have video for that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I'm like on a video roll today.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: Wait, did I speak too soon?
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: I do have video.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: So this just came out today.
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: Again to Echo Clay this is Wednesday for us.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: You're going to watch this Thursday night.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: We're going to be sitting watching with you and joining you in the comments.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: The Epstein victims.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: So there were things released yesterday and today, or was that just today?
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: 30,000 pages yesterday Based on unredacted, mostly unredacted.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: There's still some and there probably will always be some documents that have some sort of redaction on them.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: But 30,000 pages released yesterday.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: You know every, not just pages but information.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: People went very specifically they, they went into documents that because you know there's that one minute of video that is under discrepancy from the jail the night that Epstein hung himself.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: People are looking for that, but there's a lot of it released and you and I have talked about this before.
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: We talked about it in reference to JFK and some other things.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: When they dump 30,000 pages although now with things like AI it's a little bit easier to find what you're looking for People still have to go through and search this stuff and find exactly the good nuggets in the middle of this.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: So the administration department of justice was subpoenaed by the house oversight committee to release these documents.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: The house oversight committee received them, they went through them and then they released them.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: So that spurred what happened today, which was a press conference, a news conference really, by a number of and I don't know how many there were, but a number of the Epstein victims, these young women who were trafficked over and over again, for you know varying numbers of years to come out and speak publicly and they dropped a bit of a bombshell in this, in this this little press conference that they had.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we have it.
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: We have it here, it is guys.
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: And the secrecy can stand with us and declaring that no one no billionaires, no politicians, not world leaders is above the law.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: And let me announce now several of us Epstein survivors have been discussing creating our own list of names.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: We know the names.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Many of us were abused by them.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: Now, together as survivors, we will confidentially compile the names we all know were regularly in the Epstein world and it will be done by survivors and for survivors.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: No one else is involved.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned for more details on that, because history is watching and so are the women who will come after us.
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: Thank you, so she said some really interesting things there.
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: One I think it was probably one of the biggest points that she made, which is that they were going to be doing that confidentially, so they're not going to be putting their names, they're just going to put all their heads together, right, and they're not going to be putting their names.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: They're just going to put all their heads together, right, and they're not going to release confidentially to us.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: The way I interpreted that is that, confidentially, the victims are going to pull themselves together.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: They're not going to do it publicly, it's not going to be in a boardroom, somewhere like a fishbowl.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: They're going to come together.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: They're probably going to do some.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: You know, hey, I know this guy was there.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Who come together?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: They're probably going to do some.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: You know, hey, I know this guy was there.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: Who else knows?
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: You know, you know, okay, that's three of us.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: That's legit right, I know this guy was there.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Does anybody else ever see this guy?
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: No, okay, well, we're not going to go with one.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe it'll be something like that.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: But I think they'll come together as their own process.
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: But I really believe at the end of this we are going to have a publicly released list, and the two words that she said that I keyed on are billionaires and politicians.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, the only thing that gave me pause for questioning was she said something to the effect of by survivors for survivors and I didn't know if that meant like they're going to be disclosing that list.
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming that list is going to get released because for a moment I kind of took that when I first heard.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: I'm like, does she mean that they're just going to release it to each other, like this is just going to be an internal thing because they're you know.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Then you go the next obvious that well, if you're going to be making, if you're going to be putting these big names out in the public, you're going to be accusing them, outing them.
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: Essentially, you know, how are you going to protect yourselves from that?
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: Obviously, you know, being confidential, I guess you're not going to know who said, what about who.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: You know just that it was a consensus.
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: So you know I just the biggest thing I pray for is their safety and protection, because you know, we know, you know we don't even have to say all of the things.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: That stands on its own.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: We know, you know we don't're probably in the mindset where it's like, well, I'm going to say it, and if you're going to sue me, then I'm going to prove publicly that it's true, and and if you're going to, and if not, then you're going to have to defend yourself and say why it's not true and provide some proof of why it's not true.
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: So I think they're at this point now where they're like nobody's going to sue us for anything, it's just going to go, it's just going to be out there in public.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, they'll feel whether anything happens or not, whether it's enough to prosecute somebody, whether it's enough to hold anybody legally accountable, I don't think at this point they care, because I don't think that realistically they have that expectation.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: But the fact that these people have been outed and they know that within the culture of today, this is one of those times where cancel culture is awesome.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Um, because when these names come out, um, you will see the effect of cancel culture on these individuals.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Um, you know there's already calls like um, who?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, my girl, Megan Kelly, was like she's calling for Prince Andrew to be arrested straight up based on the documents that were released.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Like he's a royal, Got it, Don't care.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: He should be in jail, and that's the type of thing that you're going to see as this list comes out.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: But your point of these women have to be protected.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: You know we don't like to talk about the amount of people that the Clintons know that have ended up dead in a ditch somewhere, but you know Bill Clinton's name is on that list.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: He flew on that plane.
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: We all know he was there Right, Many, many, many times Right.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: And so your gut anybody with any brains goes to the exactly what you said, which is these women need to be protected from not just the Clintons but a Clinton have time to grab it for us here, but I did see that there was an interview and I'm sorry, I don't know who was conducting the interview, but with maybe about six survivors, and the question was asked of them, of President Trump.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: Anybody see President Trump doing anything wrong, anything questionable, anything?
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: And the answer was a resounding no from every single one of them.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: So you know, everybody can take that and do whatever they want with it.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: If you're on the left, you're going to say I don't believe them, even though I say one of the lawyers for the victims actually came out and said that President Trump, since 2009, has been cooperating with this entire case, providing information at key points where he could help.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: So think about that timeline, folks.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: That's 2009.
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: That's pre-President Trump, right, but he has been involved with this, on the good side of things, since it started, and that was one of the attorneys for the victims that said that so Right.
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: And Epstein's own lawyer.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Epstein's own lawyer confirmed that President Trump was involved.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, so I mean it's.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: This has been confirmed over and over again.
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: There has been conversation of Trump's willingness and openness and, and I think that same lawyer from Epstein actually even you know it was a lengthy video out with him Somebody was asking him questions.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: It was like a street interview basically, and he was like, yeah, he was actually of all the people that we questioned and all the same, he was the only one who came to us first and basically said I'll tell you whatever you want to.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: You know, anything that I've got that might help you, I will tell you.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: So you know, he was the only one out of all of them that did that.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: So I do have and I don't know if you heard anything and folks, if you saw or heard this.
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: I was driving today and I was listening to President Trump's press conference.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: He kept referring to this as the Epstein hoax, which I think he's referring to people trying to implicate him in the Epstein thing, but he was on the President Trump, you know kind of messaging that he goes to, which is like we need to stop.
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: We need to talk more about how the great things in America and talk less about the crappy things in America, which I don't necessarily agree with.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: But if you have any clarity, please, in the comments, jump in there and talk about President Trump using the term Epstein hoax, which I think he's referencing himself.
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: But I'm not OK, do you know what?
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: Because he, I do not, but that kind of does give a more likely perspective on it, because he used that phrasing once before when the big, you know ruckus was all about, you know, not getting things released and people, everybody was kind of losing their minds over it, not wrongly, I'm not mocking that, but you know everybody was pretty ticked off that you know we weren't getting the information that we were promised.
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: And he used that term before Epstein hoax and I wish he would clarify that as well because that would clarify it.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: A period, end of story, right, if he just said what I mean by that is.
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: But that would make the most sense because that would be the hoax of it, the left perpetrating you know his connection, his, you know nefarious connections with Epstein, when it's, you know, been proven repeatedly over and over again by people who would know that that is not the case.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I tend to think that that is what he means by Epstein hoax.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: But because he's using that phrase and not giving it any context, like we're trying to, it's giving that impression that he's calling the entire thing a hoax.
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: So he needs to restate that and correct that or just expand on it a little bit so people can you know concretely understand people who care to understand?
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: You know because, yeah, you know but yeah, some people won't some people won't.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like I couldn't even clay.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: It makes me so tired, I couldn't even finish the statement.
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: I'm like uh, you know, you know, guys, everybody knows.
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: Oh, let's see, okay, let's go.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, we're like we're doing really good, uh, let's talk about this.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: This is.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: This is interesting.
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: Hey, how about that?
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: So after what is it?
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: Thirty four years, rumors are swirling that Chelsea Clinton is considering a run.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: What do you think of that?
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, that's kind of a random one to throw out there, so I tend to think it's got some legs on it.
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's been raised for this.
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: She's been bred for this since she was a child.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I think that was always the intent.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: She's less qualified to do this than her mom was, you know.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Just you know, running for office in the state of New York with really her only.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: You know, hillary Clinton's only qualifications were the fact that she was an attorney and that she was the first lady truthfully to run for office.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Chelsea doesn't even have.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: She's the first child.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, right?
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's a preposterous and yet so predictable.
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: You know name to throw in there, because it's name recognition, but also what we're starting to see.
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: You know Nadler for those of you that it doesn't come to mind exactly who he is he's got another one of those athletic builds like Chris Christie and JB Pritzker.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: Is he the one that's called the penguin?
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Is he the one that?
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, okay.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: Short fat walls around.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's him leaving is along the lines of Joni Ernst, by the way is also not running for office again.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: That was announced, I think, yesterday.
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: So what you're starting to see across both parties is a youth movement like that.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: You know both parties still have their elder states people, right, you know nancy pelosi is going to die in office, maxine waters is going to die in office, schumer's going to die.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I mean like they they're there forever.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: But you know the democrats are a little bit further ahead with this, not in a good way.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Um, the squad's been around for quite a few years now and that's their youth movement.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Chel Clinton would be part of that.
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she necessarily would sign in with the squad, but just that movement of younger candidates which everyone complained about in the last election, right, two old white guys which then turned into an old white guy and an incompetent black woman running for president.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: But the election before that was two old white guys.
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: So now we're starting to see a youth movement across both parties and I think that this is a signal for that.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: And Chelsea's got that.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: She's got the name.
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: Recognition and competency has never been a qualifier to be a Democratic politician.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: Clearly not.
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: We can see that right across the board, right?
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: That is not a qualifier for anybody.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: She was a bartender.
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, exactly, and yeah, that one.
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know.
• 42:14
  Speaker 4: So I I feel like the the whole name recognition thing is not going to fare as well for her as they like to believe.
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, the Clinton name is pretty tainted, I mean, I guess maybe not so much in the Democratic lane, but they had a little saturation, like people.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: There was a point where people were like we're tired of hearing from you.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: On the left they were like enough, sit down Hillary, like we don't want to hear from you, so I don't know how well she will be received.
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: I mean she really she doesn't have a real public presence, right.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: I mean, she's just kind of there.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: But again, nobody knew who the squad was before they ran her office.
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: She at least had the name.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: Now I will say this going back to our previous topic, this was all very dependent upon what comes out of the Epstein files, because if her dad is implicated in that, president Clinton more so than what we all assume, right, we all assume he rode the jet, we all assume he went down there and had a good time with, you know young women, which he had done his entire adult life.
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: We all know that Bill Clinton has been accused beyond Monica Lewinsky of that sort of conduct.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: But if it comes out in any kind of detail, she's done Like her candidacy is over with.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, if you saw the other day, bill Clinton got off the plane with an AED and it made headlines.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: I think that is also in preparation for him coming out as a very, very bad actor on the upstanding list.
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: And then shortly after that we'll be holding a funeral through the streets of Washington DC for former president.
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: Listen, no argument for me.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: I that would not.
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't even blink at that.
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: That would be just kind of a given.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: That would be like, oh, he had a long underlying illness that they've been announced to the public yeah, hillary holding a pillow over his face.
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the underlying illness.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Sleep the a pillow over his face.
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the underlying illness, sleep.
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: The underlying illness is having a crappy wife.
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Is the underlying yes, yeah, an evil, evil, nasty, rotten woman.
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: By the way, I am very happy.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: I have no suicidal thoughts.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: We love the Clintons, we love them, we love them and we think they're such wonderful people.
• 44:25
  Speaker 4: I hope the best for chelsea all the best, all the best, yeah, okay, I feel, I feel safer now.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: I, I, I like to think we are such small potatoes that I don't think you know you never, know, you never know.
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: Oh, what do we have next?
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: Oh, this here, yeah, so, oh, my goodness.
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: So listen, can I show you guys something funny?
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: And I, I, I, somebody sent this over to me and maybe y'all won't find it funny, but I found it funny.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: It's maybe not appropriate humor, fine, I'll just show you here it is.
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Come on, it was kind of funny, I thought it was funny.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: Um, somebody is going to tell me in the comments it's not, you know, that's not funny, people lost their lives.
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: Well, I mean, it's funny, thank you.
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: Thank you, yes, I found itel.
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Senator Rubio confirmed Maduro is furious and the message is US will hit cartel routes even near Venezuelan waters.
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: You know so that is, and we talked briefly before we started up here that that's basically President Trump saying not playing, not playing, guys.
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: And if you don't believe me, go ask those guys how serious I am.
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: This is a great example of F around and find out.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: For those of you that aren't tracking we moved a significant number of ships.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: They're not boats.
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: The Navy gets upset when you call them boats.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: They moved a number of ships down through the Caribbean and closer to the shores of Venezuela, still maintaining international waters, caribbean and closer to the shores of Venezuela, still maintaining international waters.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: But that's because, you know, trenadagua and other of the drug cartels have been designated as foreign terrorist organizations because of the amount of drugs and bad actors, people, wise humans, that they're pumping into the United States.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: So you know, president Maduro of Venezuela, who is an absolute lunatic, and folks, if you want to see how socialism doesn't work, just go take about a half an hour and do some research on Venezuela.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: And that's this guy.
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: And so he's upset because he thinks that the United States is targeting Venezuela, in which case we've said multiple times it's just the cartels, but Venezuela as a nation is responsible for protecting.
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: You know, maduro himself is in power, probably because of the cartels and then the amount of crap, drugs, bad after human beings that are being moved into the United States.
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: And President Trump said enough's enough and so first opportunity of a, you know he said in the press conference I was listening to today, he said that they had voice recordings of people either on that boat or loading that boat something to that effect talking about that boat saying that it's full of drugs.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: And so they said, you know, they got into international waters and cleared hot and you know, I'm pretty sure that was a drone and a hellfire, you know, which proved to be very, very useful and a significant part of my adult life.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: But they, you know, they blew the boat apart in international waters, and now Maduro is upset, and so the question you've got to ask yourself is why is he upset?
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: Are you upset?
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: A boat full of drugs and bad people headed towards the united states.
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: Why are you so upset about it?
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and why do you think?
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Because that's who's paying his salary.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: You know, yes yeah, so be mad, cry harder, stomp your feet more.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: There's more of that.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: Where that comes from, if you're not getting the message?
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: And um, I for one absolutely love this move.
• 47:59
  Speaker 4: I think it was you know, this way way long overdue, along with many of the things that Trump is doing and and you know, this is sending, this is sending such a clear Listen.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Everything that Trump has done since he's been back in office has sent very, very clear messages and and they are very successfully clear messages, because how many, how many heads of state and political leaders came're all?
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: Everybody showed up.
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: He said, hey, come on, come on over to his first term.
• 48:33
  Speaker 4: They say it a lot less now, but they still try and float that out.
• 49:02
  Speaker 4: They're like the world is laughing at us.
• 49:04
  Speaker 4: No, no, babe, they're not, Definitely not.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: Ask Maduro if he's laughing right now.
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: So the only thing back to that press conference.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: The only thing President Trump again didn't do well in his messaging is he didn't emphasize he actually didn't even say it, but he didn't emphasize the fact that they have we, the United States, have declared the cartels as terrorist organizations and therefore by targeting he didn't say that and that's part of the problem, because people are like why?
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: You don't know who is on there.
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: This could have been, you know, could have been tourists, whatever.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: No, and again in his messaging you know could have been tourists, whatever.
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: No, and and again in his messaging.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: You know he does need to use those talking points a little bit better to reiterate why we're doing the things that we're doing.
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: I think those of us with common sense at all know we understand why, but he needs to say it out loud so it's quotable, right, and he's got to go into the news cycle and people have to see and know and understand.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: But that was a message sent and I can promise you that is a message received.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the next one, or coming soon, because now we've hit a boat, right, right, the next one is going to be a plane is going to get shot down.
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: I would bet money that it's going to happen.
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: Be some low flying aircraft that's full of drugs.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: It's going to get blown out of the frigging sky.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: Mm.
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: Hmm, yeah, again, like you said, f around and find out that's a good old FAFO for you.
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: So yeah, speaking of people who just don't get the FAFO, this knucklehead, listen, we did.
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: I know somebody will remember that we said we were done talking about Greta and here we are talking about goofy Greta.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: I mean the silly, stupid girl.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: We are yes, we are all so done with her.
• 50:44
  Speaker 4: She has rejoined a Gaza bound flotilla.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: Weather, however forced to return to port, but organizers plan to try again.
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: Israel calls it Hamas propaganda theater.
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: Activists call it humanitarian duty.
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: I mean, again, it's a flotilla.
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: It's not.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: You know, it's a.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: It's a little baby boat with a couple sandwiches.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: It's so dumb, it's a stunt.
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: They got a couple of sandwiches, and you know they started.
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: They started with, I think the number of boats is 70.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Now I don't know the size.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: Right, you can assume that a significant number of those are not going to make it, because I think they're departing from Spain.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: Is that what I saw?
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: I think so Entire length of the Mediterranean, which is not necessarily easy thing to do.
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Go the entire length of the Mediterranean with 70 boats.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: You can assume that many of those are not going to make it.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Then they're going to get all the way to the eastern shores you know of the eastern half or end of the Mediterranean to run into an Israeli blockade around Gaza right which they're not going to get through.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: And even if they did get through, there is nowhere for them to offload anything into Gaza.
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: There is one small fishing port and that's it.
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: There's no massive dock system, there's no like.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: There's no shipping point, there's no shipping port, there's nothing.
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: So this is, like you said, perfect word.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It's a stunt which will amount to exactly nothing.
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: Absolutely nothing.
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: She gets her little headlines again.
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: She gets podcasters talking about her for a hot minute.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: None of that makes her any more likable, valuable, useful or anything.
• 52:17
  Speaker 4: It just makes her fodder for a what I think will probably give her a grand total of three minutes of time here.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: That is all.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: She's in her 20s now, like she's 20.
• 52:31
  Speaker 4: Since she was like 12, right, like my goodness, girlfriend, you're 20, you're 15 minutes has been up for a long time, but you are, you are milking every spare second of it.
• 52:42
  Speaker 4: So listen, I'll tell you what.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: Um, I don't know what actually motivates this girl If she is getting I don't know if she is getting filthy, stinking, rich.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: Um, I, I, for some reason, I kind of feel like she's not, like I think she's.
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: Actually, I could be dead wrong.
• 53:15
  Speaker 4: Her parents probably are.
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, I think she genuinely believes what it is that she's doing.
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: Like she, I still find her to be somewhat innocent, in the sense that I think she is so profoundly brainwashed and controlled essentially by these groups.
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: And if I'm wrong, I will own it, I will admit it if something comes up.
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: I think she has a disability.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't.
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: I don't know if she's on that autism spectrum.
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she's developmentally disabled.
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she's on that autism spectrum.
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if she's developmentally disabled, I don't know but I think there is something.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: Her mental capacity is not where it should be for a 20-year-old and I think it goes beyond rhetoric and brainwashing.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I think that there is an actual physical disability associated, or mental disability associated with that young woman and I think it's tragic that she's being exploited, because I really feel that's what it is.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: I beyond choice with her.
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: Now I think there are powers that are controlling her, that are exploiting her name in her face and it's horrible, but it could be worse, because what you could have is what America is producing, which is listen, you have to explain this.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: I, this is the topic that Elsa sent to me.
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: It was like we need to talk about this.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Listen, you have to explain this.
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: I, this is the topic that Elsa sent to me and was like we need to talk about this.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't know what code switching was.
• 54:26
  Speaker 1: I had to look this up, so please tell us what this means.
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so so let me just say, you know, I I did not know what.
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: I'd heard the term before.
• 54:34
  Speaker 4: I did not know what it was, simply because I didn't have a reason to care, it didn't, didn't affect my life in any way and I, just the other day, I posted, so what I technically first posted.
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: Do I have it?
• 54:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, so I posted this the other day and this is essentially a translation or a transcript of what she said at this event.
• 54:59
  Speaker 4: And I apologize, I don't even know what this event, I don't even know where she is at, where she is talking like this.
• 55:03
  Speaker 4: Hey, let me take that banner off of there.
• 55:05
  Speaker 4: I mean, if I were to try it, I can't even, I can't even try to A white person trying to read this would be accused.
• 55:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly.
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Exactly so no.
• 55:17
  Speaker 4: And so, by the way, one of the places that I posted that was LinkedIn, and I don't know why I love to fire up LinkedIn.
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know why I like to.
• 55:26
  Speaker 4: It's just too easy.
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: It's like you know what is that?
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: What's that saying?
• 55:29
  Speaker 4: Shooting fish in a barrel?
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: Is that what that saying is?
• 55:31
  Speaker 4: Did I even get that right?
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: I don't even know, but that's what it's like.
• 55:34
  Speaker 4: And you know, it's too easy to get somebody rattled up.
• 55:36
  Speaker 4: And, sure enough, some pearl clutching Karen jumped in the comments.
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: I was like how dare you?
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: That is thinly veiled racism.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: And I'm like no, it's just exactly what she does, right?
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: I'm like, no, it's literally what she said and how she spoke.
• 55:50
  Speaker 4: And, by the way, if anybody's being racist, it's technically Jasmine Crockett, because she is under the impression that that is how you should be speaking to certain parts of your constituents, is how you should be speaking to certain parts of your constituents.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: So I feel like that might be a little bit racist, to presume that they are too stupid to understand standard English, in which, by the way, she speaks that perfectly fine.
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: So let me give you so.
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: So somebody else in the comment section said Elsa, please tell me, there's a video of this somewhere there can't be, there's no possible way.
• 56:19
  Speaker 4: To which I said, oh why?
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: Yes, there is my love and here it is.
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: These people.
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: They are crazy because they always talk about how Christian they is.
• 56:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know how many of them on that side are getting divorced because they getting caught up sleeping with their coworkers, staffers, interns, all the things.
• 56:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you ain't got to believe me, just go Google, you'll find some of it, I'm telling you.
• 56:38
  Speaker 5: And the wives is being messy.
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: Now listen, if this is the only manner of speaking that she ever knew, I could not, would not in good conscience make fun or criticize or anything.
• 56:54
  Speaker 4: I simply somebody else maybe would.
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: I would not if the circumstances of her life made it so she'd never had opportunity to learn standard English.
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: Okay, so just so we're clear.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: Somebody will dispute it.
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: It's all good, but I just so happen to have proof that this private school educated young woman is well capable of speaking normally, and here it is Good to see you in the new year.
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: You know, no one could have told me that when I went down to Austin now it looks like a little bit over a year ago that I would be running for Congress.
• 57:32
  Speaker 4: That girl, that young woman, is adorable.
• 57:35
  Speaker 4: She's well-spoken, she's seemingly delightful, exuberant and excited for her journey.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: I don't know how she went from that woman to that creature that we showed.
• 57:51
  Speaker 4: Listen, I cannot believe that this is what people find as an acceptable, applaudable representative in the US government.
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: I am embarrassed by her.
• 58:08
  Speaker 4: I'm embarrassed for her.
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: I am insulted on behalf of her constituents, who are not morons by any stretch of the imagination, but which she seems to think that they are because she has done this.
• 58:20
  Speaker 4: Now, multiple, this is the most exaggerated version of it that I've seen.
• 58:23
  Speaker 4: Is this the most over the top version that you've seen, or have you seen equal or worse?
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is probably the worst and we've seen this from AOC before.
• 58:35
  Speaker 1: She has been, you know.
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: Every one of them.
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she's been, you know, caught doing this as well.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Kamala obviously did it.
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: That was well documented during the election on how she would change.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: You know how she spoke, depending on what the demonstration of code, switching the before and after or the after and before.
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: This is what code switching is.
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you flip the switch to whatever you know language you need to use to connect with whatever audience you need.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: You know you're speaking to and listen.
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Some people have said oh, you know if you're, you know if you're Marco Rubio and you're speaking to a heavily Hispanic audience, you know sometimes you might speak in Spanish.
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: He's notably spoken in Spanish in public before too.
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: That's a different language.
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: It's a different language.
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: That is not code switching, that is speaking the language.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: It's not the same thing, folks, it's not the same thing.
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: And so Jasmine Crockett, who very soon is going to be out of a job, thank God, because the state of Texas, you know, basically wrote her district off the map and this is, you know, a good thing for for the state of Texas and for a constituency.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: But this is shameful.
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: Like any politician that will lower themselves to this should be ashamed.
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: Truthfully, it's dishonest, it doesn't serve anyone well and, truthfully, it just shows how little integrity you have as a person, let alone as a politician.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know this is another example of and we've talked about it in different contexts before about the conduct and behavior of members of Congress and government leaders, officials, and how they should be publicly behaving, and that is, you know, simply to uphold a standard of conduct, of dress and speaking and behavior and all of those things.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 4: And I, for one, would really really like to see that enforced, and I don't really know how it gets enforced.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 4: I mean, I guess it's by what's the word I'm looking for when they shut them down there in Congress.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: I can't even come up with it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: They have all the rules right they have all the rules.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: It's the rules of order, I think, rules of conduct, but there's a fine system in place and there's other things.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: You know, if things are centered, if their conduct is so severe, they can be censored.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: In fact, the New Jersey congresswoman who assaulted the federal officer a few months ago, they just voted on her censure today, which got denied, so she's not going to be censured.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: There was a number of Republicans that did not blindly follow party lines.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Ok, fine, I can appreciate that and of course, the entire Democratic side voted not to censure her.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: So a few Republicans flipped over and she's not going to be censured.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: But that is one of the things.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: The highest probably punishment that can be inflicted is to be censured out.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: You know most of these people don't care about fines and whatnot.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: But, yeah, rules of conduct matter and we should expect more.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: As much as we want them to be regular citizens and represent their district the way that they should, we do expect a little better conduct out of them, but really what we expect out of them is honesty.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: As you said, if she spoke like this all the time and got elected like that, and that was her normal vocabulary, that was her normal diction and how she spoke.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: Fine, I have no problem with that, but the fact that it's so dishonest and blatant, that speaks to her character, or lack thereof.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely Completely, and I, for one, I'm tired of it.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: I have no problem calling it out.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: I could care less if some pearl clutching Karen in the comment section wants to call me a racist and throw you know straw man fallacy arguments.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, knock yourself out, honey, until you're blue in the face.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: Go go take your soy latte to a rally, please, and just shut up.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 4: I could care less, oh, but yeah, oh, my goodness, we did it, we got them all and that was, um, not too bad for a slow news week.
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 4: Not for a slow news week, oh, my goodness.
