Sean Duffy: Floating in Space Doesn’t Make You an Astronaut (Ep.185) · V

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. My dad,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: DOT Secretary Sean Duffy, says that Katy Perry and Gayle
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: King are in fact not astronauts. Green New Deal advocates
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: AOC and Bernie Sanders spend hundreds of thousands of dollars
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: on private jets. Vox claims that manufacturing will never come
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: back to America. A majority of Americans now back deporting
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: all illegal migrants. SCOTUS agrees to hear Trump's case to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: end birthright citizenship. Carmelo Anthony's lawyer kicked out Carmelo's victim's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: grieving father. And a mom praying at a school board
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: meeting is silenced by the mayor in California. All this
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: on Bongina Report, early edition.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Got it?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: One, two, three.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: Taking up space!
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: Tamir!
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: Tamir's in space!
• 1:15
  Speaker 7: It has.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Been four days since Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin launched an
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: all-women crew into.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Sub-orbit for 11 minutes. The trip lasted 11 minutes, but
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: was choreographed like it was a music video with Katy
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Perry floating midair. She's holding a little flower of some kind.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: She's clutching her tour set list for some subliminal advertising.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: She comes back after 11 minutes and she kisses the
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: ground as if she were not gone mere minutes, but
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: was gone eight months like the real astronauts who launched
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: into space and were stuck thanks to NASA and the
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Biden admin. Now, this was supposed to be a triumph,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a high-flying celebration of female empowerment, complete with custom-tailored sexy
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: flight suits, perfect hair, and the pop star theatrics, and
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: none of it landed. No one was impressed. Not on
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the left, not on the right, not women, not men, everybody.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Nobody was like, wow, this is awesome girl power. It
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: did not land. This was meant to be inspiring, but
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: it really kind of felt like a relic. Here was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: one viral reaction to these women going up to space
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and expecting the world to fawn over them simply because
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: they were women who launched into space.
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, mama. I see your tight little ass in space.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: Are you trying to tell me that six bitches went
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: in space this morning?
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah! Roar!
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Lady Gaga just had my Coachella and now there's signatures
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: in space? This is going to be an amazing week
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: for women. We love you, Gayle King. Go off. I'm
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: sure Oprah's nearby. Maybe space is one of Oprah's favorite things.
• 3:12
  Speaker 8: Hold on.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Jeff Bezos' girlfriend also went in space? Wait a second.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: She's a children's author, and her book is really good.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe I can buy it off of Amazon! Katy Perry?
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: Yes, bitch.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Let us know what the next album is.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: I'm sure it's gonna be about space.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah! I want more of this! This woman is a lib. Like,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: she's a liberal comedian. She's criticizing Trump left and right. Again,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: like I said, this did not land. Everyone was... Like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: these are just a bunch of rich women who went
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: up to space and wasted a lot of money and time.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: And they expected everybody to praise them just because they
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: are simply women doing this thing. And no one did.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: It was just dumb. No one thought it was cool.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: We were all over it. Especially, actually, left-wing environmentalists who
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: cried about the carbon emissions. Take a listen.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: That space mission this morning, that's in time. Like this
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: is beyond parody. Saying that you care about Mother Earth
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: and it's about Mother Earth and you're going up in
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: a spaceship that is built and paid for by a
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: company that's single-handedly destroying the planet. Look at the state
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: of the world and think about how many resources went
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: into putting these women into space. For what? For what
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: was the marketing there? And then to try to make
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: it like, I'm disgusted, literally, I'm disgusted.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So the environmentalists were angry about the carbon footprint. The
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: collectivists complained about the wealth gap. Both Republicans and Democrats
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: are sick of rich liberal ladies who, for some reason,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: expect the world to cheer for them whenever they breathe.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: And I think their reaction has symbolized an end of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: an era, an end of the Instagram-filtered feminism of the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: late 2010s. They insisted that this time that any woman
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: doing anything flashy— is somehow revolutionary, and that's over. Culture
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: has moved on. We've lived through enough hollow symbolism and
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: curated empowerment to know that simply being a woman in
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: a cool outfit doing a big thing is not inherently heroic.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: What once read as boundary breaking now comes off as
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: indulgent and even desperate for attention. The public didn't reject
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the flight because it was female. They rejected it because
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it was empty. It was just dumb. My dad, Secretary
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of Transportation Sean Duffy, has decided to weigh in on
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the little stunt. He wrote this last night. And before
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I pull this up, Michael, for some context, the Federal
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Aviation Administration, the FAA, is overseen by the DOT. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: that's why he is weighing in here. And historically, the
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: FAA has defined who qualifies as a commercial astronaut, not
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: just based on altitude. but also based on the role
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and contribution to safety during the mission. So here is
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: my dad on X last night. He wrote, The U.S.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: commercial space industry is an inspiring project, which showcases American
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: ingenuity and exceptionalism. But the last FAA guidelines under the
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Commercial Space Astronaut Wings program were clear. Crew members who
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: travel into space must have demonstrated activities during flight that
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: were essential to public safety and or contributed to human
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: space flight safety. The crew who flew to space this
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: week on an automated flight by Blue Origin were brave
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and glam, but you cannot identify as an astronaut. They
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: do not meet the FAA astronaut criteria. And the reason
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: he's saying this is because some people on this little
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: flight crew are identifying as astronauts. Gayle King specifically, here
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: she is comparing herself to the astronauts who walked on
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the moon.
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: I don't like that people are calling it a ride.
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: You never see a man, a male astronaut, who's going
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: up in space and they said, oh, he took a ride.
• 7:09
  Speaker 9: We actually duplicated the route that Alan Shepard did. That's
• 7:13
  Speaker 9: why this particular capsule is called the New Shepard. We
• 7:16
  Speaker 9: duplicated that route. No one said he took that ride.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: It's always referred to as a flight or a journey.
• 7:24
  Speaker 9: So I feel that that's a little disrespectful to what
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: the mission was and what the work that Blue Origin does.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Gail, you are not an astronaut. You are not an astronaut.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: The FAA says so. This girl boss generation taught us
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: that having a seat at the table was the revolution,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: even if the table was set for the same stale
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: policies and narcissism of the past. Hillary Clinton... She spent
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: years branding herself as this feminist icon. But what did
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: she really mean to a generation that grew up watching
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: endless wars, corruption, and elite hypocrisy from people like her?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: The way that she stood by her husband, Jeffrey Epstein, BFF,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Bill Clinton, who took advantage of an intern in the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Oval Office. Is that very feminist? Is that very empowering?
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Is it really cool of her, girl power, to stand
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: by Bill Clinton? America is not buying it anymore. They've
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: seen the photo ops, the choreographed panels on breaking barriers,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: all the hollow slogans. Figures like Nancy Pelosi and Sheryl
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Sandberg and Kamala Harris, they've all ridden the wave of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: gender-first celebration. But time and time again, their actual records
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: haven't lived up to the glossy feminist veneer. Sandberg told
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: women to lean in while Facebook enabled mass surveillance. Kamala
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: broke the glass ceiling only to become a meme for DEI,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: sounding perpetually drunk. The idea that we should be endlessly
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: impressed simply because a woman holds power, regardless of how
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: she uses it, has lost its shine. Gen Z, my generation,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: grew up with more female leaders than any generation before.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: And they're not mistaking visibility for virtue. It reminds me
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: of one of my favorite clips from White Lotus, this
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: HBO show, where these young left-wing Gen Z girls are
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: basically calling out Hillary Clinton as a war hawk. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the feminist girl boss mom steps in and is deeply
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: offended by this. And you can see in this little
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: interaction the generational gap between what it means to be
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: feminist and what actually matters to women across generations. Take
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a listen to this interaction.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: Like she actually cared about the working poor.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: She was a neoliberal war hawk.
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: She was a neoliberal and a neocon.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, did you say Hillary Clinton?
• 10:05
  Speaker 7: Something about Hillary Clinton? Nothing, mom.
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: Oh, is that the trendy thing they're teaching now to
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: hate on Hillary Clinton?
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: Mom, don't get triggered.
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: Hillary Clinton is one.
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: Of the most influential women of the last 30 years,
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: and many women in my generation very much admire Hillary Clinton.
• 10:22
  Speaker 5: Okay, don't worry about it, Mom.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: We all love Hillary Clinton. So the young girl's right.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, she's insufferable in this show and very performatively left-wing,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: but Hillary Clinton is a war hawk. She's done everything.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Nothing worthy of praise, certainly if you're on the political right,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: but also if you're a genuine leftist who cares about
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: peace at home and abroad. Hillary Clinton epitomizes the reckless
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: morally bankrupt foreign policy establishment that has dragged America into
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: endless disastrous wars. She championed the U.S. intervention in Libya,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: which toppled Gaddafi, and left the country a failed state
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: overrun by jihadists, and open-air slave markets. She was an
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: early advocate for regime change in Syria and pushed for
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: deeper involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. Remember this? I mean,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that is the land of unconfirmed ideas. We came, we saw,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: he died.
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: Did it have anything to do.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: With your visit? I'm sure it did. We came, we saw,
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: he died, laughing over Gaddafi's death, which of course led
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: to misery, absolute misery in Libya. And by the way,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the destruction of an ancient Christian community there. And you
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: don't have to agree with Gaddafi or any sort of
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: dictator that's been toppled by the CIA in the last,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know, 70 years. But that doesn't mean that
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the outcome of these regime change operations has been good
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: for anyone. It has sown chaos and destruction abroad and
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: also here at home. Hillary Clinton is a bloodthirsty war
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: hawk concerned with power plays and defense contractor interests. Cares
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: way more about those things than she does American lives
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: or global stability. And we're supposed to cheer for her.
• 12:21
  Speaker 11: Why?
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Because she's a woman. She's a woman. So yay Hillary Clinton.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: We love it. She's so awesome. Just because of her gender.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: It's for this same reason that you're noticing young black
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Americans not nearly as enamored with Barack and Michelle Obama
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: as their parents and their grandparents, simply because they're black. Like,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: why should I think Obama's so great? Because Trump. That's
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: what a lot of young black leftists are saying online.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Who cares?
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: But to that generation, Obama just simply being black, irrespective
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: of what he did, is the world to them. And
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: there's a generational divide here that I think is actually
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: very heartening for us. The question is no longer, is
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: she breaking barriers? But what is she actually doing? We
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: want accountability, authenticity, and integrity from everyone, regardless of gender
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: or race. That's why a space PR stunt packed with
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: influencers and photo ops fell flat. It doesn't symbolize anything.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: It certainly doesn't symbolize empowerment. and civilizes entitlement, really. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: no amount of floating choreography or designer jumpsuits can distract
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: from that. The era of clapping for people just because
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: they're women is over. All right, we're going to take
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a quick break. When we come back, we're going to
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: continue to talk about the left completely failing to live
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: up to its own standards. And just because you're a
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Hispanic woman... Does it mean that you deserve praise for
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: everything that you do? Yes, you guys guessed it. We're
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: going to talk about AOC. Don't go anywhere. So speaking
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of environmental justice and the climate cult, Senator Bernie Sanders
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been observed using private jets
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: for travel during their Fighting the Oligarchy tour, with reported
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: expenditures amounting to $ 221, 000. And the irony here is too rich,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: no pun intended. Bernie Sanders and AOC, two of the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: loudest voices railing against billionaires, emissions, corporate greed, spending over $ 200, 000
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: on private jet travel. It's so inherently absurd and hypocritical.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: These are the same figures who lecture everyday Americans and
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: about climate responsibility, demand tighter carbon regulations, and they sneer
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: at luxury consumption as a symptom of capitalist excess. Yet
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: when it comes to their own comfort and their own convenience,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they will charter jets that emit more in a few
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: flights than the average citizen does in an entire lifetime.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: The message is clear. Rules for thee, but not for me.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: This kind of hypocrisy is nothing new for leftist elites. Historically,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: communists and socialists have preached equality and equity while reserving
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: privilege for themselves. From party officials and Soviet dachas to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: today's champagne socialists flying private while demanding you bike to work.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: Did you know this actually was happening at the DOT
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: with Pete Buttigieg? Apparently, and I have not verified this
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: for sure, so it is alleged by some employees, but
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: apparently Mayor Pete would drive to work And then he
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: would get out and bike the rest of the way.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So it appeared like he was commuting. Now, I will
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: say this is alleged. This is what I heard from
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: people who worked at DOT under Mayor Pete. They said
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that he would do this. And he also was making
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: DOT employees pay for parking. in the public DOT building,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: not because it was in any way necessary, but he
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: wanted to encourage the employees to take public transit, and
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: all it did was make everyone have to pay to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: come to work. Like, just absurdity from this man, and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: totally performative. But again, this is what they do. Sanders
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: and AOC talk endlessly about dismantling oligarchy, yet their actions
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: mirror the very class stratification that they claim to despise.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: They aren't fighting oligarchy. They're performing it, cloaked in righteous
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: rhetoric while indulging in the same luxuries as all the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: elites that they condemn. This is the theme, though. Who
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: remembers Governor Gavin Newsom, maskless, dining at the French Laundry
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: while all of California was shut down? Does anybody remember that?
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: How outrageous was it? And how many Democrat health officials,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: health officials and politicians were caught brazenly violating their own
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: COVID rules or guidelines? Like way too many to count.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: It was happening constantly. But this is who they are.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It is always rules for thee and not for me.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Think Stephen Crowder. blew up this story of a health
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: bureaucrat in New York City who was, during the COVID hysteria,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: going to Orchies with elites in New York City. It's
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: completely and utterly absurd. But this is a reoccurring theme.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, this is the French Laundry with Gavin Newsom.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: This is a reoccurring theme throughout history. This is what
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they do. And by the way, Elton Wealth inequality is
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: a big deal in this country. I know that left-wingers
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: and communists are very concerned with wealth inequality, but it's
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not left-wing or communist to be concerned that the middle
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: class is disappearing. The middle class is what is the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: American dream. And what's so brilliant about what President Trump
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: is doing with tariffs is he is bringing back industry
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: and redistributing wealth without a communist revolution. So some people
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: are not too happy about this. This is a Vox headline.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Manufacturing jobs are never coming back. That's the headline from Vox.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: And the argument from this author, Dylan Matthews, is basically
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: that manufacturing jobs vanished not because of trade deals, but
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: because machines got better and richer countries naturally shifted to
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: service work. And he says it's automation, not outsourcing, and
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: no blue collar jobs are coming back. So a very
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: pessimistic view of what Trump is doing with tariffs. And
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the headline here, I just, I can't get over it,
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: you guys. I saw it and I was almost stunned.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: like that he would be so brazen. Manufacturing jobs are
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: never coming back. And I get that he was being pessimistic.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: It also sort of felt like a threat, like it's never,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: ever coming back. I was like, okay, like why are
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: we being, so here's the deal. This is a wildly
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: dishonest framing from Vox to dismiss the, to simply dismiss
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the impact of trade policy and elite-driven globalization that prioritizes
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: cheap goods over American workers. He just ignores how for
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: decades the ruling class shipped jobs overseas to boost corporate profits,
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: hollowing out the middle class, communities, and distribution. the dignity
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that comes with work. Tariffs and industrial policy are what
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: we need to rebalance an economy rigged against working class people.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: If you were Bernie or AOC, you would care about that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: But of course they don't because it's not about actually
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: creating a better economy for the working class. It is
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: always about sparking a collectivist revolution. And to do that,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: people have to be at rock bottom. This is why
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: they don't oppose, they oppose what Trump is doing because
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: it actually is going to bring trade and industry back to,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: bring industry back to this country through free trade. And
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the tangible results right now because I'm
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: not just going to say these things and then not
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: prove to you that actually what Trump is doing is working.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Because while Democrats and the media obsess over short-term market dips,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: they say manufacturing is never coming back, they are ignoring
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: the flood of real-world investment pouring into American industry thanks
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: to Trump's trade and regulatory agenda. NVIDIA just announced it
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: will manufacture AI supercomputers in the U.S. for the first time.
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: Honda is moving production of its Civic hybrid from Mexico
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: to Indiana to avoid Trump's auto tariffs. It's exactly how
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: tariffs are supposed to work. Apple is investing $ 500 billion
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: in U.S. manufacturing and research and development, building new tech
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: facilities in Texas and Michigan. The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: is putting $ 165 billion into chip fabs in Arizona, the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: largest foreign investment in U.S. history. Even pharma giants like
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Johnson & Johnson are shifting operations back to America, citing
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Trump's pro-business policies. This is not a theoretical revival. It
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: is happening right now, and it is massive. So I
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: think Fox can just screw off. Seriously, all these people.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: It's like all this negativity. And then you're seeing the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: evidence right before their eyes. And they'll still write an
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: article saying industry is never coming back. And my reaction
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: to that is simply somebody says Vox sucks. I think
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Vox hates us. I think Vox sincerely hates us. That's
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the only reason that you would say something like American
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: industry is never coming back at the same time that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: we are watching before our eyes American industry come back. Okay,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: I do want to get to Kilmar Abrego Garcia. We
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: have to keep talking about this guy because the story
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: just keeps getting wilder with him. So Maryland Senator Chris
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Van Hollen met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: This is a legal man from El Salvador who Police
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: confirmed MS-13 gang member. Also, we found out yesterday that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: he or two days ago that he is a wife beater.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: His wife that's been like all over the media defending him,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: freaking out over him being deported. She actually has filed
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: multiple police reports saying, yeah, this guy physically abuses me.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: So Van Hollen posted a photo of the meeting on
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: X saying he also called Abrego Garcia's wife to pass
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: along his message of love. Again, this is a guy
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: who gave this woman that he's passing along the love
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: to a black eye. He gave her a black eye.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And now Van Hollen's like, oh, he's passing on his
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: love to you. So El Salvador's president, Bukele, also posted
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: images of this meeting minutes before Van Hollen shared his post.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: And he wrote, Kilmar Abrego Garcia miraculously risen from the
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: death camps and torture, those are in quotes, sarcasm, now
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: sipping margaritas with Senator Van Hollen in the tropical paradise
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: of El Salvador. Now that he's been confirmed healthy, he
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: gets the honor of staying in El Salvador's custody. Meanwhile,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Van Hollen hardly has acknowledged the Morin family. Rachel Morin,
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: a Maryland mother of five children and a Van Hollen,
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: former constituent, was jogging when an illegal migrant came up
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: to her and beat her, raped her, and strangled her
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: to death. He could care less about an actual Maryland woman,
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: but he'll travel to El Salvador for an illegal gang
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: member and wife-beater. Van Hollen's attempt to pressure the Salvadoran
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: government for Abrego Garcia's release has also sparked calls for
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: prosecution under the Logan Act. And there's a real case here,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: because the Logan Act prohibits unauthorized diplomacy by private citizens.
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: The senator's actions arguably amount to undermining U.S. foreign policy
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and aiding an unknown criminal. I don't know if we
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: can pull this up, Mikey, if you have time, but
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: Libs of TikTok posted a picture of Van Hollen and
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Abrego Garcia, and the caption was like, Find you somebody
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: who looks at you the way Van Hollen looks at
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: an illegal terrorist. Like he was just like obsessed with
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: this guy. He went all the way to El Salvador
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: to try and bring this illegal MS-13 gang member back
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: to America. The absurdity of it all cannot be overstated.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: This is the actual Maryland woman who was raped and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: murdered by an illegal. And he'll fly to El Salvador
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and sip margaritas with an MS-13 gang member who he
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: claims to be a Marylander when really it is, again,
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: an illegal El Salvador and MS-13 gang member. This is
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: who we are dealing with right now. The absurdity and
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the backward priorities of an entire political party that seems
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: to hate this country and hate the people that it
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: claims to represent. Just look at that face. He's like
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: in love with him. Like what? Did you see this
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: guy's record? He's arrested with drugs and multiple other MS-13
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: gang members, confirmed by police to be an MS-13 gang member,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: is a wife beater, potentially a human trafficker. We'll get
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: into that in a second. Adding fuel to the outrage
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: of the trip is that it was likely paid for
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: by U.S. taxpayers through a congressional member delegation or a CODEL,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: according to Senate aides cited by the Daily Caller. And look,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: Democrats like Van Hollen have made their priorities crystal clear.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: They will cross borders, bend laws, and spend your tax
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: dollars to defend violent illegal criminals. And meanwhile, law-abiding citizens
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: like Rachel Morin are treated as inconvenient footnotes in their narrative.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Van Hollen didn't visit her family. He didn't post photos
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: or condolences or call to pass along any kind of
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: message of love. But he did fly to El Salvador
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to meet with a confirmed MS-13 gang member and domestic
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: abuser and even called that man's wife, whom he beat,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: to deliver the man's regards. That's not compassion. That is
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: complete and utter rot. It is immoral. It is disgusting.
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: And this is what happens when a political movement elevates
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: criminals into martyrs and treats the people it governs with contempt.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: It's not just neglect. It is inversion. The honest citizen
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: is smeared as bigoted, disposable, or privileged. while the criminal
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: is branded as a victim of American cruelty. This isn't liberalism.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: It is a kind of neo-Marxist obsession with flipping hierarchies,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: where justice means punishing the innocent and empowering the transgressor.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: The trip isn't an outlier. It is a perfect snapshot
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: of a party that no longer governs for citizens, but
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: for causes, optics, and the destruction of the moral order.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: And I did want to mention, again, this guy is
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: probably a human trafficker. Abrego Garcia was detained, by the
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Tennessee Highway Patrol on December 6, 2022, after being pulled
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: over while transporting seven passengers from Texas to Maryland. The
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: officer quickly discovered Abrego Garcia was driving without a valid
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: license and suspected human trafficking due to the nature of
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: this transport. A background search revealed confusion over whether Garcia
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: or one of his passengers was on a terror watch list,
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: prompting the officer to contact the FBI. And despite all
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: these red flags, The FBI, of course, then under Christopher
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: Wray and the Biden admin, ordered the release of all
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: eight individuals after instructing officers to document the vehicle and
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: take photos. These people hate us. They do. The only
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: reason this guy is still on the streets is because
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. Wouldn't even investigate the human trafficking case.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: This is who we're dealing with, people who literally hate us.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: By the way, we do now know, per a recent
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: CNN poll, that 56% of Americans support deporting all illegals.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: So we're not talking about just MS-13 gang members, but
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: all illegals. And that's up from 38% in 2016. Despite
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: insistence from the left that open borders and demon-worshiping cartels
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: and gangs and human trafficking and fence and all is
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: actually great for America— None of these things, turns out,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: are popular with real Americans. It's not. And if you
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: can imagine those numbers for just all illegals, imagine what
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: the numbers look like if you ask them, what do
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: you think about deporting MS-13 gang members? I don't think
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Democrats have a lot of support on this one. Here's CNN.
• 29:25
  Speaker 8: Deport all undocumented immigrants. Voters favoring the government trying to
• 29:30
  Speaker 8: deport all 11 million of them. Back in 2016, just
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: 38% of voters wanted the government to try to deport
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: all 11 million undocumented immigrants. Compared to where we are
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: in 2025, 56%, the majority, the American people have come
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: a long way on this issue, much closer to Donald Trump.
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: And I think that's a big part of the reason
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: why Americans are increasingly saying the country is on the
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: right track when it comes to immigration policy and why
• 29:56
  Speaker 8: Donald Trump's net approval rating on that issue is in
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: the positive.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: People are not into it. It is not a winning
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: issue with actual citizens. And who can blame America with
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: stories like this coming out every day? ICE has confirmed
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: that two illegal immigrants from Venezuela are accused of kidnapping,
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: torturing and attempting to murder a 58-year-old woman in Washington State.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: And of course, they have ties to Trendyaragua. Okay, this
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: is like, it's a story we've heard over and over again. Like,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: I just, I feel like I see this, a story
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: just like this in the headlines at least once a week.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: The victim, this poor woman, 58 years old, was abducted
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: outside her apartment on January 21st, robbed, tortured, and driven
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: 90 miles away to a remote mountain pass where she
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: was shot and left to die in the snow. She
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: miraculously survived. She was saved. ICE has lodged immigration detainers
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: for both suspects who have prior criminal records. One was
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: previously arrested for domestic violence. The other had been ordered
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: deported in 2023 after a DUI conviction. Both men were
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: living in Washington illegally, but had obtained state driver's licenses,
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: and one was found with two Social Security cards, one
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: not in his name. And by the way, a third
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: suspect remains at large. So this whole thing is a
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: horrific story. But again, daily news, because we've been experiencing
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: an invasion for the last four years. And Tucker Carlson,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: he had a great interview that was released yesterday about
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: And in this interview, he made an interesting point. We
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: tend to call mass immigration anti-Western, or I'm sorry, a globalist,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: but it's not globalist. It is actually anti-Western. And there's
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: something deep in that, in it being more than just globalist,
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: more than just economics and a desire for cheap labor,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: but actually being ideological and almost spiritual. Take a listen
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: to Tucker Carlson.
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: But they're not really globalists, are they? Because they're not
• 32:18
  Speaker 11: doing this to China and Africa and the Middle East.
• 32:20
  Speaker 11: They're not saying those nations need to invite a lot
• 32:23
  Speaker 11: of people from different parts of the world.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: It's only one side.
• 32:26
  Speaker 11: It's anti-Western.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: They're saying that there's something about... a majority white Christian
• 32:31
  Speaker 11: country that's inherently threatening and we're going to destroy it.
• 32:33
  Speaker 11: And that's kind of, not kind of, it is exactly
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: what they've done around the world. They did that in France,
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: in UK, in Germany, and now in Canada. Yes, you've
• 32:41
  Speaker 11: got basically Russia left. And of course, that's the country
• 32:44
  Speaker 11: they hate most. So it is a tell, like they're
• 32:46
  Speaker 11: not screaming at Chairman Xi to let in a bunch
• 32:49
  Speaker 11: of people from Nigeria. It's like not even on the table.
• 32:51
  Speaker 11: They're not even demanding Japan do that. It's just Canada, UK,
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the US. And that's it.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Tucker is hitting on something real. The push for mass
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: immigration isn't just about economics or demographics. It is a
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: deeper ideological project aimed at eroding the cultural foundations of
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: the West. It's sold as compassion, as progress, as inevitable.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: But if you look closely, you'll see that the nations
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: targeted for endless waves of foreign immigration are not random.
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: They are the historically Christian Western nations built on ordered liberty,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: moral tradition, and sovereign identity. The goal isn't simply to
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: grow GDP and import cheap labor, although that is certainly
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: part of it. It is to dissolve the coherent national
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: cultures that stand in the way of borderless post-Christianity. This
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: isn't globalism in the abstract. It is an anti-Western, anti-Christian
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: campaign masquerading as humanitarianism. What's most revealing is who has
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: been spared. Russia, the only major white European Christian nation
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that has not been captured by mass immigration, remains public
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: enemy number one in the eyes of Western elites. The
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: same media class that shrugs at beheadings in Paris or
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: acid attacks in London cannot summon enough rage for Moscow.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: They're obsessed with Moscow. And why is that? I don't
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: think it's because Putin is a dictator, because Western elites
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: are some of the most despotic and corrupt people on
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: the planet. They don't care about democracy or elections. They
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: erode and destroy them left and right. And I can
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: respect legitimate critiques and attacks on Putin, and there are
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: many to lob. But let's not kid ourselves about the
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: intent from our own Western elites when it comes to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: criticizing Russia. If I had to bet money, I'd say
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: the driving factor is that Russia refuses to relinquish its identity.
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: It defends its borders, holds its traditions, and invokes its
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: spiritual inheritance without shame. It's the only one that does that,
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: other than, I guess, America now under President Trump. That
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: alone makes Russia intolerable to a ruling class that demands
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: the West submit to a cult of rootlessness. It's not
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: about Putin's politics. It's about the nation's refusal to kneel
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: at the altar of global liberalism. And Christianity teaches that
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: humans are rooted beings, born into families and communities and
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: nations with duties to those closest to them. And yet
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: the modern immigration crusade seeks to sever those bonds, to
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: uproot people in the name of a new creed. Diversity
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: without unity. Mobility without loyalty. Empathy without order. And those
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: who resist... who dare to love their own culture and
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: preserve it, are demonized as heretics in this new moral order.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: This isn't policy. It is a sacrament of civilizational hatred.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: And on that note, and this is a positive thing,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: for once you guess it's a positive thing, the Supreme
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Court has agreed to hear oral arguments on May 15th
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: regarding President Trump's initiative to end birthright citizenship. Here was
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: President Trump yesterday.
• 36:18
  Speaker 12: Four time ago, the Supreme Court agreed to hear oral
• 36:21
  Speaker 12: arguments in the case about ending birthright citizenship. How confident
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: are you that the court will rule in your favor
• 36:27
  Speaker 12: and allow that order to end birthright citizenship to go forward?
• 36:31
  Speaker 10: Well, you're just telling me that for the first time.
• 36:33
  Speaker 10: I am so happy. I think the case has been
• 36:36
  Speaker 10: so misunderstood. That case, birthright citizenship, is about slavery. If
• 36:42
  Speaker 10: you look at the details of it, the signings of it,
• 36:46
  Speaker 10: everything else. That case is all about slavery. And if
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: you view it from that standpoint, people understand it. But
• 36:54
  Speaker 10: for some reason, the lawyers don't talk about it. The
• 36:57
  Speaker 10: news doesn't talk about it. That's not about tourists coming
• 37:00
  Speaker 10: in and touching a piece of sand and all of
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: a sudden they're a citizenship. You know, they're a citizen.
• 37:05
  Speaker 10: That is all about slavery. And even look at the
• 37:10
  Speaker 10: dates on which it was signed. It was right at
• 37:13
  Speaker 10: that era during, right after the Civil War. And if
• 37:18
  Speaker 10: you look at it that way, the case is an
• 37:20
  Speaker 10: easy case to win. And I hope the lawyers talk
• 37:24
  Speaker 10: about birthright citizenship and slavery.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: The spiritual and civilizational assault tied to mass immigration connects
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: directly to the issue of birthright citizenship, a policy that
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: that allows anyone just born on US soil, regardless of
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: their parent status, to just automatically become a citizen. On
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: its face, it sounds fair and maybe generous, but in practice,
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: it is a legal loophole that incentivizes border violations, undermines
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: national sovereignty, and dissolves the meaning of citizenship itself. Just
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: as mass immigration is used to dissolve cultural identity, birth
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Right citizenship is used to erase political boundaries, treating citizenship
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: not as a duty-bound inheritance, but as a commodity acquired
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: by mere geography. That's not what it should be. What's more,
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: the legal foundation of birthright citizenship, the 14th Amendment, was
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: never meant to apply this way. As Trump says, it
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: was written in the aftermath of the Civil War to
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: grant citizenship to freed slaves who were born in the U.S.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: but denied recognition by law. The phrase in the amendment,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: subject to the jurisdiction thereof, was meant to exclude foreign nationals, diplomats,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and Native American tribes who had their own sovereign relations
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: from just blanket citizenship. It was a law about righting
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: the wrongs of chattel slavery, not creating an automatic pathway
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to citizenship for the children of those in the country
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: illegally or on tourist visas. Twisting the history to justify
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: today's border crisis is not only bad law, it is
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: bad faith. Both mass immigration and birthright citizenship serve the
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: same ideological goal, to flood the Western nations with populations
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: untethered from the traditions, loyalties, and duties that form a
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: cohesive society. It is not about inclusion. It is about displacement.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: and it always has been. And the fact that this
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: effort relies on a law born from the trauma of
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: American slavery should alarm anyone who actually respects history. We're
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: witnessing the language of justice being weaponized to impose chaos,
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: all while eroding the very nation it was meant to heal.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: and Trump is going to finally put a stop to it.
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: All right, I want to get to this Carmelo Anthony
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: story because this is another one that all week has
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: just been getting more and more insane. It just keeps
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: getting more insane. Carmelo Anthony is, of course, this young
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: black high schooler who stabbed another kid, Austin Metcalf, a
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: white high schooler from a different school, in the heart
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: at a track meet. And Austin Metcalf died in his
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: twin brother's arms. Just a horrific story. At this track meet,
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: stabbed in the heart, dies in his brother's arms. So yesterday,
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: one of Carmelo Anthony's lawyers, Dominique Alexander, actually blamed the
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: school district as well as the weather for Anthony stabbing
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Austin Metcalf earlier this month. Take a listen to this.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to find how many of y'all have asked
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: the superintendent or one single board of trustee, why didn't
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: you cancel or postpone with weather in that magnitude? You
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: couldn't have a track meet in rain or thunderstorm or clouds.
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: Y'all are the media.
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: Ask your journalists, your weather journalists, how the weather was
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: that day and that time. Y'all do that research. Because
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: as a person who is the administrator.
• 41:18
  Speaker 6: Of your children.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: You are.
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: Responsible for the safety of the children. And so it
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: seems as if Frisco ISD is trying to push this off.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: Can you guys believe that? He's blaming the weather, blaming
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: the weather for Carmelo Anthony stabbing a kid in the heart.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't like bad weather. When it's really
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: snowy out, when it's sleeting, and I'm in Wisconsin, it's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: really uncomfortable. I don't want to walk outside of my car.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: And Michael's like, we got to walk outside of the car.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: And Michael's like, well, I can't start the car and
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: get the heat going because it's bad for the vehicle.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: I'm really mad at Michael, and I'm mad at the weather,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: but I don't want to stab him in the heart. What? What?
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: How is that a thing? How is this even being
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: brought up as an excuse? These people are so stupid.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: But you guys know what this is. You're smart. You
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: know what it is because this is textbook Marxist ideology.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Guilt and responsibility aren't determined by individual actions, but by
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: group identity. Who is oppressed and who is privileged? And
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: that's why when a black boy murders a white boy,
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: the response is never to seek justice, but to construct
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: a narrative of excuse. The school failed him. The weather
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: played a role. Society let him down. In the Marxist framework,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: no longer is someone an individual, but instead they always
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: belong to a class. And if it's a protective class
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: defined by race, gender, or victimhood, they are treated not
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: as moral agents, but as products of an oppressive system.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: And the goal isn't truth or justice. It's reinforcing a
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: hierarchy of blame where certain groups are always shielded from
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: accountability and others, particularly white or traditional individuals, are perpetually
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: cast as oppressors, even in death. I just saw a
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: video yesterday. I should have put it in the show
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: because it's perfect for this segment, but it's an older
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: clip of these black women. Well, one black woman, and
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: she's with a group of black women talking about how
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: they actually have gained weight and are fat because of
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: President Trump messing with their hormones and causing them stress. Guys,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: I don't think that's it. I'm sorry. This is just
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: This is the kind of craziness that we're dealing with.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: He stabbed him in the heart because of the weather.
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: We're fat because President Trump is president. Are we joking
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: right now? But this is how absurd and insane and
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: deranged these people have become when they fully bought into
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: this oppressor versus oppressed ideology. There is never any accountability
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: if you are in the protected class. And there's more excuses.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: So now we have random black people on TikTok, random,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and that's just not all black people, of course, but
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: a certain subset of left-wing black people on TikTok defending
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony, saying this was all justified, and now one
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: even threatening to murder white people for offending him. Take
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: a listen to this. Hey, to all of.
• 44:35
  Speaker 13: The people who are against Carmelo Anthony, me as a
• 44:38
  Speaker 13: black man in America, white people, I'm telling you and
• 44:40
  Speaker 13: I'm telling you now, you ever even think to approach me,
• 44:44
  Speaker 13: bully me, harass me, think you're going to be with
• 44:47
  Speaker 13: your twin brother or twin whatever, and do anything to me,
• 44:51
  Speaker 13: I too will pokey, pokey, pokey, pokey, poke you as well.
• 44:56
  Speaker 13: Straight to the heart. And that's on self-defense. This is
• 45:01
  Speaker 13: not the Jim Crow era. This ain't 400 years ago.
• 45:04
  Speaker 13: This ain't 1619. This ain't back in them days. Y'all
• 45:10
  Speaker 13: don't want to end up like Austin. Leave black people alone.
• 45:14
  Speaker 13: Y'all didn't play fair for 400 years. We ain't playing
• 45:17
  Speaker 13: fair with y'all either.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Do you see the pattern? Historical and systemic oppression means
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: we just do what we want, including murder. It's all justified.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: Just because I'm black or I'm brown or I'm gay
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: or I'm a woman, like whatever it is, just Murder
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: is allowed, I guess. I mean, it's absurd. And this
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: is an evil, evil ideology. By the way, somehow this
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: next development in the story is even worse. So yesterday,
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: representatives of Carmelo Anthony actually called the police on Austin
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: Metcalfe's father for showing up at a Thursday press conference
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: that they were holding. According to ABC8, the Next Generation
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Action Network, which is a Dallas-based activist group that has
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: taken on the role publicly defending Anthony, called the police
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: and asked Jeff Metcalf to be removed from the scene.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: And this Dominic Alexander guy who helps head the NGAN
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: commented that it was disrespectful for Metcalf's father to show up.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Said the father, this is a quote from this man,
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: the father being at this press conference, these are my words,
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: don't quote anybody. is a disrespect to the dignity of
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: his son. That's what Carmelo Anthony's representative said. The press
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: conference continued only when Jeff Metcalf left, escorted out by
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. So yeah, Anthony has raised over half a
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: million dollars. Actually, could we pull up that Give, Send,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Go Mikey so I can make sure I got those
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: numbers 100% correct? It's either nearly half a million or
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: it's over half a million dollars. He posted a $ 250, 000 bond,
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: bought a new car, is renting a home worth nearly
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: a million dollars because people are just giving him money
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: because he murdered a white kid. That's what's happening in
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: America right now. If you are killed by an illegal immigrant,
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: nobody cares. You're a white woman from Maryland. If you
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: kill and stab a white kid in the heart, 476
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: so their goal and they raise the price again it
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: used to be 500 000 i think it's now it
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: says 550 000 they keep raising the price of like
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: the the goal the monetary goal for this help carmelo
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: official fund the whole thing again you guys it is
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: insane and you get rewarded apparently if you stab white
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: kids in the heart in america because that's how deep
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: we've gotten to mark race marxism Oh, we have the
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: video of the black lady. Let's play that. It's just crazy.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Do we have sound, Mikey?
• 48:10
  Speaker 7: Because it becomes a way to blame us for a
• 48:11
  Speaker 7: set of conditions. I hate when people talk about black
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: women being obese.
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: I hate it.
• 48:16
  Speaker 7: Because it becomes a way to blame us for a
• 48:18
  Speaker 7: set of conditions that we didn't create. We are living
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: in the Trump era. And look, those policies kill our people.
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: And what public health practitioners think is... is that our
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: stress responses in the body change our metabolism. It's literally
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: that the racism that you're experiencing and the struggle to
• 48:37
  Speaker 7: make ends meet actually means the diet don't work for
• 48:41
  Speaker 7: you the same. I hate when people talk about it.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: I can't, I can't. It's like, it's so crazy. It's
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: so crazy. Trump is the reason that I'm fat. Like,
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: are you, what? The weather is why I stabbed some
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: white kid in the heart. There is something deeply twisted
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: about the moral order being imposed on this country, where
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: the family of a murdered white boy is treated as
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: the aggressor and the confessed killer is not only defended
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: but enriched by the public. What did the representative say?
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: Jeff Metcalf, the father, was disrespectful to the dignity of
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: his son. That sentence alone captures the Inverge network. The
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: father of the victim shamed in silence while the killer
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: is protected and seemingly beloved. This isn't about just injustice.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: It is ritual humiliation, a public performance of deference to
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: an ideology that tells us some lives matter more than others.
• 49:41
  Speaker 1: We need a whole summer of love about black lives mattering,
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: but it kind of seems like white lives are the
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: ones that don't matter these days. That ideology, the one
• 49:50
  Speaker 1: that excuses violence in the name of historical oppression, is
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: not justice. It is vengeance disguised as virtue. When random
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: black men on TikTok threatened to murder white people for
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: offending them, the activists rushed to their defense and not
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: with shame, but with cash, praise. We are witnessing the
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: logical endpoint of race-based Marxism, a system where victimhood is currency,
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: accountability is optional, and the innocent can be destroyed for
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: being on the wrong side of history. I witnessed this
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: firsthand when I was with Michael in Kenosha, Wisconsin during
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: the BLM rioting. You had all of this sympathy for
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: a man who was accused of sexual assault. He was
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: approaching a vehicle with small children wielding a knife, and
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: we were supposed to feel horrible for him. And we
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: were supposed to feel nothing for the people who had
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: their entire lives destroyed, burnt down, because professional rioters poured
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: into Kenosha, Wisconsin, directly from Portland to destroy the city.
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: And there was no sympathy for the minority-owned businesses, the
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: white-owned businesses for that matter too, for anyone who was
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: victimized and had their lives destroyed by these riots. It
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: was only for this man who was wielding a knife
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: and approaching a vehicle with small children in it. And
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: he was neutralized by a police officer and it was
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: totally justified. And that's what the law found too. We
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: are dealing with a complete inversion of morality. That is
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: what's at the heart of all of this. Yes, thank you, Michael.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: I want to share something with you all. This happened
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: last month, but the video has just begun to go viral.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: So this is the first time that I've actually seen it,
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: but I still want to share it with you all
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: because since it started to go viral, I think probably
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: many of you haven't seen this yet. At a Ventura,
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: California city council meeting, citizens gathered to voice their opinions
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: on a proposed care policy says this is the acronym
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: for this policy. And it's a local resolution that would
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: shield illegal immigrants, protect abortion bushers, and empower transgender activists
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: by ignoring the Trump admin in those realms. So any
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: sort of law that would impact what they're doing, we're
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: going to ignore them, was essentially what this resolution said.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: And during the public comment period, a mother of six
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: approached the podium and revealed that Ventura County Public Schools
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: had socially transitioned her daughter without her consent. And instead
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: of yelling or screaming, which is probably what I would
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: have done in that situation if somebody had done that
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: to my child, she actually begins to pray. And I
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: want you to take a listen to what happens next,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: but know that it was the mayor herself who ultimately
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: silenced this woman. Take a listen.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Hi, I'm Terrence Wayne. I'm a mother of six.
• 52:59
  Speaker 8: And the.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Ventura County Public School socially transitioned my daughter without my consent.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: I come here today to offer nothing but prayer, and
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: I want to lift up my father in heaven. Father God,
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: I just come to you in Jesus' name. I pray, Father.
• 53:20
  Speaker 8: Amen.
• 53:21
  Speaker 3: That you would tear down.
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: The strongholds in this place. I pray father that you
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: would raise up the men in this room. I pray
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: father that you would stop. I pray that you would
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: raise up the time. Everybody on this. Everybody stop.
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: Yep. Stop. Stop.
• 53:46
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 53:51
  Speaker 13: We don't do prayer.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: Please finish your comments.
• 53:58
  Speaker 11: Finish your comments.
• 54:00
  Speaker 9: Finish your comments, please. You have 28 seconds.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: And I do pray all this in the name of Jesus,
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: the Son, the Father, and the Holy Spirit.
• 54:09
  Speaker 9: Thank you.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: Jesus is the King of kings, and he is the
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: Lord of lords, and I pray that all the high
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: places here will be torn down in the name of Christ.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: Jesus is the Lord of Lords and every knee.
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Every knee will bow. Your time is up.
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: Every knee.
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: Okay, so that was just a direct violation of her
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: First Amendment rights. First of all that, the public comment
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: period exists so citizens can express themselves freely and the
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Constitution doesn't carve out exceptions for religious speech. So she
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: might have a lawsuit on her hands. I don't know,
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: this mayor. The woman wasn't disrupting the meeting. She wasn't
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: threatening violence or exceeding her time. So I don't really
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: know what the justification is going to be here. She
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: was speaking and, yes, praying as countless citizens have done
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: at public forums across the country for generations. Shutting her
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: down for invoking the name of Jesus is not neutral governance.
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: It is censorship, just plain and simple. And it's the
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: kind that reveals just how fragile our so-called tolerance has become.
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: But What made the moment so striking wasn't just the
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: legal overreach. It was the visceral hostility to prayer itself.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: The crowd didn't just disagree with the mother. They hissed,
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: they sneered, they howled like she had said something obscene.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: There's a kind of spiritual revulsion in the air, a
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: collective recoil at the very mention of God. The level
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: of animosity toward a quiet prayer, especially from a mother
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: claiming her daughter was socially transitioned without consent, is not normal.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: It is spiritually unwell. It's as if the room were
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: full of vampires, like flinching at the light, recoiling from
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: a cross. I feel like that California city council meeting
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: was just full of vampires. That's what it felt like.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: And moments like this reveal something deeper than policy differences.
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: They expose a spiritual sickness festering in our culture. A
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: society that bristles at the name of Jesus and erupts
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: in anger at a mother calling on God is not neutral.
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: It's not secular. It's something else entirely. Something hostile to
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: the sacred, allergic to truth, and profoundly lost. When prayer
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: becomes threatening and Christ becomes offensive, it's not the speaker
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: who's out of place. It's the room that's gone dark.
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen to a room
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: that has not gone dark. This is Trump staffers singing,
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: Amazing grace during Holy Week. Just a few years ago,
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: the White House disgracefully made headlines for inviting topless transgender
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: activists to the South Lawn, a moment that symbolized the
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: Biden admin's full embrace of a post-Christian moral order. By contrast,
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: the Trump admin made visible and consistent efforts to uphold
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: and honor America's Christian heritage, from openly celebrating the National
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: Day of Prayer to surrounding himself with faith leaders to
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: standing unapologetically for the rights of the unborn. Trump, I think,
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: sends a message that faith has a place at the
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: center of American life, and certainly the movement around Trump
• 58:14
  Speaker 1: believes that. And the contrast could not be more stark.
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: One admin lit the White House in rainbow colors and
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: made a mockery of creation, and the other restored Merry
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Christmas to the national vocabulary and celebrates Holy Week with
• 58:28
  Speaker 1: deep reverence. We've got a ruling class that spits on
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: everything good, true, and beautiful, and then demands applause. They
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: cheer for killers. and silence prayer. They lift up cartel
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: thugs and tear down grieving parents. They call it progress
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: when a child is transitioned behind her mother's back while
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: ties it all together with progress, with moving forward as
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: a people. And the whole thing is just hypocrisy because
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: really what it is is hatred. It's a deep, bitter
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: hatred for the normal, the moral, and just America in general.
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: And that's what people are waking up to. It's not
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: left versus right, not even, elites versus working class, but
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: a battle between those who still believe in the dignity
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: of life, of borders, of truth, and those who believe
• 59:17
  Speaker 1: in nothing but themselves. We are a nation under God,
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: not under tech billionaires or race hustlers or hateful California mayors.
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: You want to know what is really the backlash? It's
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: contrary to what the left wants you to believe. It's
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: not against women or against immigrants or against progress. It's
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: against a regime that hates our country, hates our people,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: and hates the very idea of right and wrong. And
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: we're done playing along. And that's all I have for
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: you guys today. Thank you so much for tuning in.

• 59:57
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
• 59:59
  Speaker 6: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 6: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 6: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 6: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue. That is it.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 6: This is not a football game. If you vote, we
• 1:00:17
