0:07
Speaker 1: It's six eastern it's three o'clock pacific this is a
0:10
Speaker 1: president of action coast to coast and around the world
0:13
Speaker 1: from the america out loud talk radio studios if he.
0:17
Speaker 2: Says he's serious about something he means it.
0:19
Speaker 1: It's time for the truth be told with booker scott.
0:23
Speaker 3: They keep trying to kill donald trump over the weekend
0:26
Speaker 3: was the third attempt and again it was unsuccessful luckily
0:32
Speaker 3: It happened in Washington, D.C. this time, and we're going
0:35
Speaker 3: to talk about it right here on The Truth Be Told.
0:37
Speaker 3: I'm Booker. Along with me here, as always, on a Monday,
0:41
Speaker 3: it is Matt Palumbo. And, Matt, it was, you know,
0:44
Speaker 3: it was just nutty what these people are trying to
0:46
Speaker 3: do in attempting or actually they're not attempting. They are
0:50
Speaker 3: trying to kill President Donald Trump.
0:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, and the left's first response is, oh, it was
0:56
Speaker 4: a staged assassination attempt. And it's like, well, first of all,
1:00
Speaker 4: you'd think they would have done a better job at—
1:03
Speaker 4: maybe they would have let the guy get closer if
1:05
Speaker 4: they were going to try to make it seem dramatic
1:07
Speaker 4: or something. Trump was completely unfazed as he's been through that.
1:11
Speaker 4: He's been far closer to death than happened there. But
1:14
Speaker 4: it's just bizarre that leftists who— themselves would love nothing
1:20
Speaker 4: more than to see Donald Trump get killed, are shocked
1:23
Speaker 4: that someone would actually try to kill Donald Trump. And it's,
1:27
Speaker 4: you know, the third time that, you know, in recent memory,
1:30
Speaker 4: and that there was the Butler attempt, there was one
1:32
Speaker 4: of the golf course after that, and now this. But
1:35
Speaker 4: if you add together every single attempt, and this is
1:38
Speaker 4: obviously including some more half-assed attempts, I saw 19 overall,
1:44
Speaker 4: and there are some that people have forgotten about. When
1:46
Speaker 4: Trump was campaigning in 2016, there was a kid who
1:50
Speaker 4: claimed he was going to be trying to get a
1:52
Speaker 4: photo of Trump and then grabbed an officer's gun and
1:56
Speaker 4: couldn't pull it out of the officer's holster in time
1:58
Speaker 4: and got tackled. But that was another attempt where if–
2:03
Speaker 4: that just went a little bit differently could have been
2:05
Speaker 4: a successful assassination there so this unfortunately i don't i
2:08
Speaker 4: don't think it's gonna be the last one they see
2:10
Speaker 4: they're gonna keep trying until they pull it off and
2:12
Speaker 4: um this is just.
2:14
Speaker 3: Who they are and a little bit later i want
2:15
Speaker 3: to talk about why why this is happening where it
2:18
Speaker 3: comes from i think most of us know but it's
2:21
Speaker 3: been going on for a decade and i think we
2:24
Speaker 3: really need to have that conversation and we need to
2:27
Speaker 3: get people to shut up. We need to stop it. And,
2:31
Speaker 3: you know, Donald Trump kind of made those comments in
2:33
Speaker 3: the press conference on Saturday night after this happened. And Matt,
2:36
Speaker 3: I happened to be watching C-SPAN live when this happened.
2:40
Speaker 3: I don't watch a lot of C-SPAN, but I couldn't
2:42
Speaker 3: find it, the program on the dinner anywhere else that
2:46
Speaker 3: was leading up to the dinner, because I think it
2:48
Speaker 3: started right around nine o'clock Eastern. So I was watching
2:51
Speaker 3: C-SPAN from eight to nine. I was halfway paying attention.
2:55
Speaker 3: And then I see all these secret service members running
2:57
Speaker 3: across tables, which was very odd to me. And then
3:01
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, there are three guys up on
3:03
Speaker 3: stage with long guns. And I started paying attention. What
3:06
Speaker 3: just happened? I think someone tried to attempt an assassination.
3:10
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what had happened. And then we sort
3:13
Speaker 3: of know what has happened since then. But let's listen
3:16
Speaker 3: to part of that press conference. Here is President Donald Trump.
3:20
Speaker 5: Well, thank you very much. That was very unexpected. but
3:28
Speaker 5: incredibly acted upon by Secret Service and law enforcement. And
3:34
Speaker 5: this was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that
3:39
Speaker 5: was supposed to bring together members of both parties with
3:42
Speaker 5: members of the press. And in a certain way, it did,
3:45
Speaker 5: because the fact that they just unified. I saw a
3:51
Speaker 5: room that was just totally unified. It was, in one way,
3:54
Speaker 5: very beautiful. A very beautiful thing to see. A man
3:57
Speaker 5: charged a security checkpoint armed with multiple weapons, and he
4:03
Speaker 5: was taken down by some very brave members of Secret Service.
4:06
Speaker 5: And they acted very quickly and have just released, for
4:11
Speaker 5: purposes of transparency, clarity. I've ordered it to be put out.
4:16
Speaker 5: You probably have it by now. Put out on Truth
4:19
Speaker 5: and put out on many other platforms. A tape showing
4:23
Speaker 5: the violence of this thug that attacked our Constitution, and
4:28
Speaker 5: also showing how quickly Secret Service and law enforcement acted
4:31
Speaker 5: on our country's behalf.
4:34
Speaker 3: Matt, I'm sure you saw that video. What do you
4:36
Speaker 3: make of that, where the guy is running through the lobby?
4:39
Speaker 3: He was a guy that was staying there at the
4:41
Speaker 3: hotel at the Hilton, which happens to be the same
4:44
Speaker 3: place where Ronald Reagan was shot. There are a lot
4:47
Speaker 3: of events there. What do you make of that video?
4:49
Speaker 3: That guy was just running as fast as he could.
4:52
Speaker 3: And there are a couple of things here that I
4:54
Speaker 3: want to talk about, but first let me get your
4:55
Speaker 3: comment on that.
4:56
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I was reading from a lot of
4:59
Speaker 4: people at the event itself. They were sort of amazed
5:02
Speaker 4: by the lack of security that was there just in
5:05
Speaker 4: general that they had to go through. Some of them
5:08
Speaker 4: were commenting there was more security at the parties they
5:11
Speaker 4: were going to over the weekend. Then the White House
5:15
Speaker 4: Correspondents Dinner itself, which itself is a pretty sad state
5:18
Speaker 4: of events. Yeah, I mean, it looked like the guy
5:22
Speaker 4: got a lot further than you would have expected, given
5:25
Speaker 4: his strategy was literally just to run as fast as
5:28
Speaker 4: he can. I mean, thank God the Secret Service got him,
5:30
Speaker 4: but there was obviously– The opportunity for a lot of
5:33
Speaker 4: crossfire in that situation. I know Monday morning quarterbacking here,
5:38
Speaker 4: but it just seemed like the security was very poor
5:43
Speaker 4: to begin with. I don't know. Did you see his
5:46
Speaker 4: manifesto letter that he put out?
5:48
Speaker 3: Yes, I did.
5:48
Speaker 6: Mm-hmm.
5:49
Speaker 4: Did you see someone who's calling the gayest manifesto of
5:53
Speaker 4: all time?
5:53
Speaker 3: And I don't even know why we call these things
5:55
Speaker 3: a manifesto. It's a letter. It's a letter telling people
5:58
Speaker 3: what you're going to do.
5:59
Speaker 4: You're right. It wasn't even a manifesto, but it was
6:01
Speaker 4: something most people haven't seen. He begins by apologizing to
6:07
Speaker 4: as many people as possible.
6:09
Speaker 3: It's like, I'm sorry.
6:11
Speaker 4: He apologizes to his job for calling out under false pretenses.
6:15
Speaker 3: The students that he teaches, yeah.
6:17
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that.
6:19
Speaker 4: But not that he's going to go try to murder
6:20
Speaker 4: a bunch of people. That's where he draws the line.
6:23
Speaker 3: Well, this is something that we've talked about this before
6:26
Speaker 3: in his letter or manifesto, whatever you want to call it.
6:30
Speaker 3: I don't like manifesto because I saw over the weekend
6:33
Speaker 3: on social media, someone asked the question, how come every
6:35
Speaker 3: one of these killers has a manifesto? Well, it's not
6:38
Speaker 3: a manifesto. It's an email that he sent to a
6:41
Speaker 3: lot of people. A manifesto makes it sound a whole
6:43
Speaker 3: lot better than what it is, which is an email
6:46
Speaker 3: to a bunch of people telling your intent, what you're
6:50
Speaker 3: going to do and what you believe, why you're going
6:51
Speaker 3: to do it, which he's a far leftist. He's 31
6:54
Speaker 3: years old. He is a teacher. He was a teacher
6:57
Speaker 3: of the month in December 2024, where he teaches in California.
7:01
Speaker 3: His sister says he's sort of been radicalized. It seems
7:05
Speaker 3: like politically he has attended conferences A no-kings protest, one
7:09
Speaker 3: of those, is all. And he went to go kill
7:11
Speaker 3: Donald Trump. Something else you mentioned, though, a few minutes
7:13
Speaker 3: ago was the conspiracy theories that I've already seen. Every
7:19
Speaker 3: time this happens, the conspiracy theories get out in front
7:22
Speaker 3: of the actual real news. And we're going to talk
7:25
Speaker 3: about that here in just a few minutes. But let's
7:28
Speaker 3: listen to this. Here's another clip from Donald Trump and
7:31
Speaker 3: his reaction. This was from the press conference Saturday night.
7:35
Speaker 6: I wonder, especially because, unfortunately, you have experience with these
7:41
Speaker 6: sorts of threats. In that moment, when you realized there
7:45
Speaker 6: was a threat and service agents were telling us to
7:48
Speaker 6: get down, can you describe what was going through your mind,
7:52
Speaker 6: how you were feeling in that moment?
7:55
Speaker 5: That's a very good question, actually. It's always shocking when
7:58
Speaker 5: something like this happens. Happened to me a little bit.
8:02
Speaker 5: And that never changes. The fact, we were sitting right
8:07
Speaker 5: next to each other, the first lady on my right,
8:10
Speaker 5: and I heard a noise and sort of thought it
8:13
Speaker 5: was a tray. I thought it was a tray going down.
8:17
Speaker 5: I've heard that many times, and it was a pretty
8:19
Speaker 5: loud noise. And it was from quite far away. He
8:22
Speaker 5: hadn't reached the area at all. They really got him.
8:26
Speaker 5: So it was quite far away, but it was a gun.
8:30
Speaker 3: And some people.
8:33
Speaker 5: really understood that pretty quickly. Other people didn't. I was
8:37
Speaker 5: watching to see what was happening. Probably should have gone
8:39
Speaker 5: down even faster. Melania was very cognizant, I think, of
8:44
Speaker 5: what happened. I think she knew immediately what happened. She
8:48
Speaker 5: was saying, that's a bad noise. And we were whisked away,
8:55
Speaker 5: along with other people, but we were really whisked away.
8:59
Speaker 5: And again, the performance of the Secret Service and the
9:01
Speaker 5: police All of the law enforcement, I thought it was
9:04
Speaker 5: really good.
9:05
Speaker 3: So it was very quick.
9:06
Speaker 5: There wasn't a lot of time to be thinking.
9:08
Speaker 3: I want to come back to some of the things
9:09
Speaker 3: that you said, Matt, because I saw a lot of
9:12
Speaker 3: that over the weekend, the armchair quarterbacking about the security,
9:15
Speaker 3: and you only had to have a ticket. You could
9:17
Speaker 3: flash the ticket. You walk through the megatrometer, and bam,
9:21
Speaker 3: you're in. Some people are saying the perimeter should have
9:24
Speaker 3: been larger. You're in a hotel. It has 1,100 rooms.
9:28
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people. that are staying at
9:30
Speaker 3: the hotel that are not going to any events. And
9:33
Speaker 3: you can't block them off, which would mean you would
9:35
Speaker 3: have to do all of the security out there on
9:37
Speaker 3: the street. And this guy was staying at the hotel.
9:40
Speaker 3: So I would like to say this, that I think
9:43
Speaker 3: they did their job with security. No one was hurt.
9:47
Speaker 3: What happened is exactly what should have happened. They prepared
9:52
Speaker 3: for something like this. And when it happened, nobody got hurt.
9:55
Speaker 3: Isn't that what it's really supposed to be about?
9:58
Speaker 4: In the context of... someone getting through with a gun, yes,
10:01
Speaker 4: it goes as best as it could have. And yes,
10:04
Speaker 4: as I said earlier, I get that I am Monday
10:06
Speaker 4: morning quarterbacking on this, and yes, with perfect hindsight is
10:10
Speaker 4: all it could have been differently, but I am acknowledging that.
10:14
Speaker 4: Not like I would have done much better myself, probably, but.
10:19
Speaker 4: It is just crazy how close these people keep getting.
10:22
Speaker 8: It is.
10:23
Speaker 4: I mean, I guess not as close as this time,
10:25
Speaker 4: but it's close in the context of within a few
10:28
Speaker 4: hundred feet of him. It is frightening. And, you know,
10:32
Speaker 4: there is an assassination culture in this country, it seems,
10:35
Speaker 4: coming entirely from the far left. And they are going
10:38
Speaker 4: to keep trying this over and over and over.
10:40
Speaker 3: I believe that because these people are they think they're heroes.
10:43
Speaker 3: They really do believe they're heroes. Let's go to a
10:46
Speaker 3: question from Peter Doocy to President Trump. again from the
10:49
Speaker 3: press conference Saturday night.
10:51
Speaker 4: Respectfully, why do you think this keeps happening to you?
10:56
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I've studied assassinations, and I must tell you,
11:03
Speaker 5: the most impactful people, the people that do the most,
11:07
Speaker 5: you take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln, I mean,
11:10
Speaker 5: you go through the people that have gone through this
11:14
Speaker 5: where they got them. But the people that do the most,
11:18
Speaker 5: the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones
11:21
Speaker 5: that they go after.
11:22
Speaker 3: He's right. The people that do the best job, whether
11:26
Speaker 3: you're on the left or the right, you had RFK
11:29
Speaker 3: that was killed, JFK, both of them doing a good
11:32
Speaker 3: job in shaking up the establishment at the time. You
11:35
Speaker 3: had Ronald Reagan and, you know, just in the last 60,
11:38
Speaker 3: 70 years I'm talking about, I'm not going back to
11:41
Speaker 3: Abraham Lincoln, but you've had Donald Trump multiple times. and
11:44
Speaker 3: all of those people were movers and shakers against the establishment,
11:48
Speaker 3: and I think Donald Trump is right.
11:50
Speaker 4: Not completely, and I think I'm repeating myself, but I
11:54
Speaker 4: did just love how unfazed he looked by it, and
11:57
Speaker 4: we didn't give anyone the satisfaction of showing terror or
12:01
Speaker 4: fear or anything. I assume conspiracy people will cite that
12:05
Speaker 4: as evidence it was staged, but they would cite literally
12:08
Speaker 4: anything as that kind of evidence anyway.
12:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've seen that conspiracy theory, that it was Donald
12:12
Speaker 3: Trump that paid this guy to do what he did. And,
12:16
Speaker 3: you know, let's just stop that. You know, look at the,
12:19
Speaker 3: look at the guy's history, look at the evidence and
12:22
Speaker 3: stop with those type of conspiracy theories. Let me tell
12:25
Speaker 3: you why they're stupid.
12:27
Speaker 4: I was going to say, um, I think I might
12:29
Speaker 4: have accidentally just disrupted the flow of our conversation. I
12:33
Speaker 4: was going to say, the one thing that stood out, though,
12:36
Speaker 4: about his not-manifesto was it's not like the type of
12:41
Speaker 4: normal schizophrenic-style rambling you normally see from a shooter. It
12:47
Speaker 4: was a very well-written but normally written thing. And it
12:54
Speaker 4: was basically someone who was radicalized by... MSNBC-style propaganda, the
13:02
Speaker 4: kind of stuff that Kings people post, the Trump stuff.
13:06
Speaker 4: He was radicalized by basically mainstream media propaganda. Whenever people
13:12
Speaker 4: talk about right-wing radicalization, it's always some obscure blog that
13:16
Speaker 4: eight people read. Even if we were to accept that
13:19
Speaker 4: that's something that happens, which it really is not, at
13:22
Speaker 4: least it's something that would be buried in the corner
13:24
Speaker 4: of the internet. The stuff that's radicalizing the left is
13:27
Speaker 4: Basically the default media for most of this country.
13:30
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right. And I want to get into the
13:33
Speaker 3: reasons that this is continuing to happen. The shooter's manifesto
13:38
Speaker 3: or email, as I like to say, said he wanted
13:40
Speaker 3: to target administration officials. He had one long gun, which
13:44
Speaker 3: was a shotgun, doesn't hold many shells. So you question
13:47
Speaker 3: how much damage was going to be done there. And
13:50
Speaker 3: then he had a couple of handguns. Don't know about
13:52
Speaker 3: the capacity on either one of those. Investigators also found
13:56
Speaker 3: extensive anti-Trump, anti-Christian rhetoric across social media accounts on him.
14:02
Speaker 3: According to reports, Allen's brother alerted New London Police Department
14:07
Speaker 3: after receiving that email and before the incident, but I
14:11
Speaker 3: have heard since that it actually came after the incident.
14:15
Speaker 9: U.S.
14:15
Speaker 3: Secret Service and Montgomery County Police Department later interviewed Allen.
14:19
Speaker 3: His sister, her name is Avrianna Allen, at her home
14:22
Speaker 3: in Rockville, Maryland. And here are some of the key
14:25
Speaker 3: points of that. She said her brother often made radical statements,
14:29
Speaker 3: spoke about doing something to fix today's world. She confirmed
14:33
Speaker 3: he bought two handguns and a shotgun from Cap Tactical Arms,
14:37
Speaker 3: and he stored them at their parents' home without their knowledge.
14:42
Speaker 3: He regularly trained with those firearms, and he was reportedly
14:46
Speaker 3: linked to a group called the Wide Awakes. And, of course,
14:51
Speaker 3: I mentioned earlier he did attend a No Kings rally.
14:54
Speaker 3: So that is a little bit about what is going
14:57
Speaker 3: on with that. He was arraigned on Monday on a
15:00
Speaker 3: couple of charges, and I think they'll probably stack some
15:03
Speaker 3: more on that. Let's listen to this compilation of Democrat hatred,
15:10
Speaker 3: and this is why this continues today. To happen.
15:14
Speaker 5: I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all
15:16
Speaker 5: over the country and maybe there will be.
15:18
Speaker 4: People need to start taking to the streets.
15:20
Speaker 3: This is a dictator.
15:22
Speaker 10: There needs to be unrest in the streets for as
15:24
Speaker 10: long as there's unrest in our lives.
15:26
Speaker 11: Enemies of the state. Show me where it says that
15:29
Speaker 11: protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
15:32
Speaker 12: Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless.
15:36
Speaker 3: They go low, we kick them.
15:38
Speaker 2: How do you resist the temptation to run up and
15:40
Speaker 2: wring her neck?
15:41
Speaker 1: Biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most
15:45
Speaker 1: of them radicalized.
15:47
Speaker 10: To the right.
15:48
Speaker 13: I thought he should have punched him in the face.
15:49
Speaker 14: Even if you lost, he insulted your wife.
15:51
Speaker 6: He came down the escalator and called Mexicans rapists and murderers.
15:54
Speaker 14: He said, well, what do you think I should have done?
15:55
Speaker 1: I said, I think you should have punched him in
15:56
Speaker 1: the face and then.
15:56
Speaker 5: Gotten out of the race.
15:57
Speaker 10: You would have been a hero.
15:58
Speaker 7: I'd like to punch him in the face.
16:00
Speaker 2: I said if we were in high school, I'd take
16:02
Speaker 2: him behind the gym.
16:02
Speaker 3: And beat the hell out of him.
16:04
Speaker 13: Punch some people in the face!
16:06
Speaker 5: When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
16:10
Speaker 13: They're still going to have to go out and put
16:11
Speaker 13: a bullet in Donald Trump.
16:12
Speaker 10: And that's a fact.
16:13
Speaker 3: And that is the Lincoln Project. They say they are Republicans, but...
16:18
Speaker 3: They're nowhere near Republicans. They were founded by pedophiles, by
16:23
Speaker 3: the way. But that is some of the hate. And
16:26
Speaker 3: you have to look back to the Russian collusion hoax
16:30
Speaker 3: to find the roots in everything that we see. Because
16:34
Speaker 3: most of the country, the majority of the country, still
16:36
Speaker 3: believes that that is real because of the very people
16:40
Speaker 3: that were in that room. And I put out a
16:41
Speaker 3: post on it on the weekend. And I don't know
16:43
Speaker 3: if you saw it, Matt, but I kind of said that.
16:46
Speaker 3: Don't let this get lost on you that these people
16:51
Speaker 3: are the very people that are creating the problem, and
16:54
Speaker 3: they continue to do so. Here's exactly what I said.
16:57
Speaker 3: I said it shouldn't be lost on anyone that it
16:59
Speaker 3: was a room full of media who for 10 years
17:02
Speaker 3: have stoked the hate, falsely reported, and in some cases
17:07
Speaker 3: irresponsibly promoted violence against Trump that a gunman would have
17:11
Speaker 3: attempted assassination. And here's something else. CNN was in there.
17:16
Speaker 3: Caitlin Collins obviously was there. And I found it interesting
17:19
Speaker 3: after it happened, the sanctimonious press inside and how it
17:24
Speaker 3: was all about them, what they did, hiding under tables. And,
17:28
Speaker 3: you know, it was sickening, really. But let's listen to
17:31
Speaker 3: Caitlin Collins here from CNN, because this is another big
17:35
Speaker 3: part of it. Our journalists are no longer journalists. when
17:39
Speaker 3: they do things like this. I don't know if you
17:42
Speaker 3: saw this, Matt, but here's this.
17:43
Speaker 10: And now we do have Secret Service telling us, obviously
17:46
Speaker 10: I want to know this is only one Secret Service member,
17:48
Speaker 10: but a member of security is here telling us that
17:51
Speaker 10: there is a shooter who is confirmed dead, and now
17:53
Speaker 10: we are kind of basically locked inside.
17:55
Speaker 3: There is a Secret Service agent that told her there
17:58
Speaker 3: is one confirmed dead. Back in the day, Matt, I
18:02
Speaker 3: don't know how many journalism classes you took, but I
18:05
Speaker 3: took a few. Not that I'm a journalist, because I'm not, but...
18:08
Speaker 3: You don't do that until you have the facts. It
18:12
Speaker 3: is corroborated with multiple sources or a credible eyewitness. You
18:16
Speaker 3: don't do what she just does, and the press has
18:18
Speaker 3: been doing it 15 or 20 years now. I think
18:21
Speaker 3: the Internet has a lot to do with it. They
18:23
Speaker 3: want to be the first with the information, whether it's
18:25
Speaker 3: right or wrong. And those types of things is what
18:28
Speaker 3: leads to conspiracy theories when they are so sloppy. And
18:33
Speaker 3: that is sloppy journalism.
18:34
Speaker 4: That is a good point you make there, because it
18:37
Speaker 4: happens over every single mass public shooting. Like, you know,
18:41
Speaker 4: in most mass public shootings, there's one shooter. But for,
18:44
Speaker 4: you know, the victims that are hiding... You know, if
18:47
Speaker 4: you're hearing rapid fire, gunfire, and it's not something you
18:51
Speaker 4: hear very often, probably is not, you know, a situation
18:54
Speaker 4: they've ever been in, God forbid. But it's very, very
18:57
Speaker 4: common for it to be misreported that there are multiple shooters.
19:01
Speaker 4: And then, you know, you find out hours later there
19:03
Speaker 4: was just one shooter and he was killed. But then
19:05
Speaker 4: all these conspiracies start from, OK, well, where's the other guy?
19:09
Speaker 4: Or why are they hiding, you know, covering this up?
19:11
Speaker 4: Or what are they covering up? And that sort of thing. So, yes. And,
19:15
Speaker 4: you know, it's not... Just like the shoddy reporting that
19:18
Speaker 4: creates the conspiracies or lets them spawn naturally, as you
19:22
Speaker 4: were saying with the Russia hoax, they do it by design.
19:26
Speaker 4: Most people probably still believe that nonsense.
19:28
Speaker 3: They do.
19:28
Speaker 4: Whenever there is false reporting, the number of people that
19:32
Speaker 4: see the correction is usually far, far smaller than those
19:35
Speaker 4: that see the misinformation. Right. The whole very fine people
19:39
Speaker 4: hoax was from, what, the first or second month of
19:42
Speaker 4: Trump's first term, and that one still hasn't been done yet. So, yeah,
19:45
Speaker 4: these things have become immortal.
19:47
Speaker 10: And, yeah, the.
19:48
Speaker 4: Journalists are going to make it all about.
19:50
Speaker 8: Them.
19:50
Speaker 4: In fact, if you're going to be, if we want
19:52
Speaker 4: to start a conspiracy theory, it would make far more
19:55
Speaker 4: sense if the journalists planted the shooter to make themselves
19:58
Speaker 4: look better.
19:58
Speaker 3: We're running a little late, but I'm going to go
20:00
Speaker 3: a little bit later into the break here, because there's
20:03
Speaker 3: one more clip here I think is important to hear.
20:06
Speaker 3: within the context of what we're talking about. This is
20:08
Speaker 3: one of the co-founders of the Lincoln Foundation. It's disturbing.
20:14
Speaker 3: Listen to what Steve Schmidt had to say inside the
20:17
Speaker 3: room as this just happened, being interviewed by another member
20:22
Speaker 3: of the media there. Not necessarily an interview, but a conversation.
20:26
Speaker 3: And here's that conversation.
20:29
Speaker 15: Don't we have a rhetoric problem?
20:31
Speaker 4: I mean, this is the third time they've.
20:33
Speaker 15: Tried to kill the president. I think that there's one
20:36
Speaker 15: person beyond and above all others who's responsible for poisoning
20:39
Speaker 15: the rhetoric in America.
20:40
Speaker 4: That guy's name is Donald Trump.
20:42
Speaker 7: You're saying it's the president's fault that people keep trying
20:44
Speaker 7: to kill him?
20:45
Speaker 9: Yeah.
20:45
Speaker 7: What do you mean by that? What do you mean?
20:57
Speaker 7: What do I mean?
20:58
Speaker 9: I asked if we have a rhetoric problem.
21:00
Speaker 16: You said the president has done more to poison the rhetoric.
21:04
Speaker 7: I mean, the president's.
21:06
Speaker 14: Orders are the ones shooting people.
21:08
Speaker 3: But they keep shooting him.
21:09
Speaker 15: It's not the other way around. Two American citizens, they
21:14
Speaker 15: were called domestic terrorists.
21:17
Speaker 9: But again, these two things have no connection.
21:22
Speaker 15: He's an insurrectionist, the foremost domestic.
21:25
Speaker 9: Enemy of the Constitution in American history. He is a
21:30
Speaker 9: vile and disgusting man, a convicted sex predator, and likely
21:36
Speaker 9: a pedophile.
21:37
Speaker 7: And tragically, he's.
21:40
Speaker 9: The president of the United States.
21:43
Speaker 7: So we'll have to endure through it.
21:47
Speaker 3: Steve Schmidt, he is one of the founders of the
21:49
Speaker 3: Lincoln Project. Disgusting, really. It's not going to stop. I
21:54
Speaker 3: don't know.
21:55
Speaker 4: I have no excuse for him.
21:58
Speaker 3: I have no excuse for the guy. He's unlikable. And
22:02
Speaker 3: as long as that rhetoric continues, we're going to continue
22:05
Speaker 3: to see things like we saw on Saturday night. Hopefully
22:08
Speaker 3: they continue to miss, though. We have more of this conversation.
22:11
Speaker 4: The whole blaming Trump for the rhetoric, it's, oh, God,
22:15
Speaker 4: how dare Trump make us keep trying to kill him?
22:17
Speaker 4: And then, you know, to what we were saying earlier
22:20
Speaker 4: about how the media basically encourages this kind of thing,
22:23
Speaker 4: it is also frustrating when I see, you know, politicians
22:28
Speaker 4: like AOC put out a tweet saying, you know, there's
22:32
Speaker 4: no room for violence. I'm happy Trump is okay. And
22:35
Speaker 4: it's like... Okay, but if we're going to go by
22:37
Speaker 4: the kind of rhetoric you've spread, you basically just wrote,
22:41
Speaker 4: very relieved to hear that Adolf Hitler was okay tonight.
22:45
Speaker 4: That's what you preach the guy is. But then again,
22:49
Speaker 4: if someone tries to kill him, then you're okay that
22:51
Speaker 4: they didn't? You have to be consistent all the way through,
22:54
Speaker 4: and they definitely are not. They're totally trying to encourage
22:58
Speaker 4: this kind of thing, and then act surprised when someone
23:01
Speaker 4: actually does it.
23:01
Speaker 3: They're going to try this again. They're going to have
23:03
Speaker 3: another dinner. And I guess Donald Trump will go back.
23:06
Speaker 3: The speech he gives this time will probably be a
23:09
Speaker 3: lot different. I think he even mentioned that.
23:11
Speaker 1: More Truth in Minutes on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
23:15
Speaker 3: Someone asked me the other day, how do you even
23:17
Speaker 3: get a sense of what's going to happen next? It's hard.
23:21
Speaker 3: I don't know that we can, the way the news
23:22
Speaker 3: moves so fast. But you know what I told them?
23:26
Speaker 3: I said, I've been checking out Polly Market a little bit.
23:29
Speaker 3: It's extremely insightful. You're basically watching how thousands of people
23:34
Speaker 3: are betting on outcomes. Political elections, big policy moves, even
23:39
Speaker 3: events you wouldn't expect. It's kind of like a live
23:43
Speaker 3: pulse on what the public actually believes. And you can
23:47
Speaker 3: see trends before they even happen and before they even
23:51
Speaker 3: make the mainstream news. For me, it's not about gambling.
23:56
Speaker 3: It's about understanding the probabilities and where the momentum is shifting.
24:00
Speaker 3: If you like or love the news like I do,
24:03
Speaker 3: maybe you're a news junkie, but you want to take
24:05
Speaker 3: a little deeper look at what people really think, go
24:08
Speaker 3: to Polymarket. It's a fascinating tool. Polymarket.com. Well, the Southern
24:23
Speaker 3: Poverty Law Center. Got 12 indictments last week. We're going
24:28
Speaker 3: to talk about that now because I think this is
24:31
Speaker 3: an incredible story, and it sort of folds into what
24:33
Speaker 3: we were just talking about. Because you mentioned Charlottesville and
24:37
Speaker 3: the quote that you gave. There were some pretty fine
24:40
Speaker 3: people there. There were nice people there on both sides
24:42
Speaker 3: that Donald Trump said, completely out of context. But now
24:45
Speaker 3: we find out that SPLC was actually paying the KKK
24:51
Speaker 3: and all of these other organizations. And it's weird that
24:55
Speaker 3: they are paying the people and then they are raising
24:57
Speaker 3: money to from the people that they are paying. It's
25:00
Speaker 3: a racket, is exactly what it is. There's no other
25:02
Speaker 3: way to describe it.
25:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, there were certain hate groups that were
25:06
Speaker 4: on the verge of extinction that they propped up because,
25:09
Speaker 4: you know, as my friend Gavin McInnes puts it, the
25:12
Speaker 4: demand for racism far exceeds the supply. You know, whenever
25:16
Speaker 4: you see a story about a hate crime that makes
25:19
Speaker 4: the news, it usually turns out to be like this
25:24
Speaker 4: weird cartoonish, a story that turns out to be false immediately,
25:30
Speaker 4: or for some reason it's the only event that in
25:33
Speaker 4: the modern age has not been captured on video. But yeah,
25:36
Speaker 4: the fact of the matter is there's really not all
25:38
Speaker 4: that much racism in the world. There was a SPLC
25:41
Speaker 4: employee who shared a story where And actually, I think
25:45
Speaker 4: he was relatively high up in the organization where he
25:48
Speaker 4: was mapping out hate groups. And this was back in
25:50
Speaker 4: 2008 and found basically like, you know, it was really
25:54
Speaker 4: like the lowest there had ever been in recent history
25:57
Speaker 4: and had had presented this data to some of the
26:01
Speaker 4: executives of the SPLC with the attitude of like, isn't
26:05
Speaker 4: this awesome? Like, you know, we're really making progress fighting
26:08
Speaker 4: racism and, It's the smallest problem it's ever been. And
26:12
Speaker 4: they responded with hostility to it because they need racial
26:16
Speaker 4: grievances to justify their own existence and to make money.
26:20
Speaker 4: And their fundraising skyrocketed after Charlottesville. Now, we should clarify
26:24
Speaker 4: with Charlottesville. They infiltrated Charlottesville. The group and, you know,
26:29
Speaker 4: the whole statue protest, I think, was a real protest.
26:34
Speaker 4: I think most of the people there were normal people,
26:37
Speaker 4: you know, people who are actually there to protest. But
26:40
Speaker 4: then they put informants in there to try to rile
26:43
Speaker 4: people up, to try to encourage them to do stuff,
26:46
Speaker 4: you know, like January 6th would be another example.
26:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking that.
26:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, there was people there who were protesting a stolen election.
26:52
Speaker 4: That was legit. But who was encouraging people to go
26:56
Speaker 4: into the Capitol? Well, that was Ray Epps, who we
26:58
Speaker 4: know is a federal informant. That was Nick Fuentes, who
27:02
Speaker 4: got half a million dollars in Bitcoin sent to him
27:05
Speaker 4: right around that time and mysteriously never gets charged. Or
27:10
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, I believe he got charged, but then the
27:12
Speaker 4: charges just quietly went away with no explanation whatsoever. It
27:16
Speaker 4: was a little weird, let's be honest. But it's that
27:20
Speaker 4: sort of thing. So it doesn't mean that if you
27:22
Speaker 4: see a right-wing organization that has one of these SPLC people,
27:26
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean the whole organization is crooked, but it
27:29
Speaker 4: does mean that they are trying to put more radical
27:31
Speaker 4: elements into them to create headlines. And we saw that
27:36
Speaker 4: in the Unite the Right rally. There was a guy
27:38
Speaker 4: named Jason Kessler who they were paying hundreds of thousands
27:42
Speaker 4: of dollars. And I recall at the time, People were
27:46
Speaker 4: pointing out like this Jason Kessler guy is organizing for
27:50
Speaker 4: Unite the Right, but he is on the record. We
27:53
Speaker 4: know he voted for Obama twice. He had a black ex-girlfriend,
27:59
Speaker 4: and this is a guy who was getting portrayed as
28:01
Speaker 4: like a white supremacist. So obviously it's an inconsistent behavior
28:05
Speaker 4: with that. And then I think he was an Occupy
28:08
Speaker 4: Wall Street organizer. And then suddenly is a far-right guy
28:13
Speaker 4: who's recruiting for Unite the Right. And Gavin McInnes, who
28:17
Speaker 4: I mentioned earlier, has that group Proud Boys. And And Kessler,
28:22
Speaker 4: Gavin told me, was very, very aggressively trying to get
28:27
Speaker 4: him to get the crowd boys to go to unite
28:28
Speaker 4: the right. And Gavin was telling him, like, something just
28:31
Speaker 4: seems off here. I don't know what it is, but
28:34
Speaker 4: I'm not going to send my guys to this rally.
28:36
Speaker 4: Thank God he didn't for his own sake. And, you know,
28:41
Speaker 4: and then all these years later, nine years later, it
28:43
Speaker 4: turns out, yeah, Kessler was getting paid by the SPLC. So,
28:47
Speaker 4: you know, we for a long time have always thought
28:49
Speaker 4: it was like the FBI putting informants in these groups.
28:52
Speaker 4: And the FBI, they also do it for more like
28:56
Speaker 4: legit reasons, like trying to gather evidence against the group.
29:00
Speaker 3: Except for Michigan. You know, in Michigan, when the Whitmer kidnap.
29:04
Speaker 4: In part, in part, but it's also things like... It's
29:07
Speaker 4: also entrapment. Yeah. But it's also entrapment. It's also... to
29:12
Speaker 4: make them look worse and all that. But with the SPLC,
29:15
Speaker 4: and I assume their legal defense is going to be
29:18
Speaker 4: something along the lines of we're just doing what the
29:20
Speaker 4: FBI does. We want to take these groups down. But
29:24
Speaker 4: the evidence is going to show it's quite the opposite.
29:26
Speaker 4: They tried their best to keep them alive. It is
29:29
Speaker 4: in the SPLC's best interest to have there be as
29:32
Speaker 4: much hate groups as possible. And if you go to
29:35
Speaker 4: the SPLC's hate map, which is kind of one of
29:38
Speaker 4: the things that they're known for, it's just like a
29:40
Speaker 4: map of every hate group in America. If you actually
29:43
Speaker 4: click through on some of the groups, I went through
29:46
Speaker 4: them once, there will be like a blog with 18
29:50
Speaker 4: followers that's like a racist blog that gets categorized as
29:53
Speaker 4: a hate group. So they inflate the numbers like crazy.
29:57
Speaker 4: And they are just an evil organization.
29:59
Speaker 15: Yeah.
29:59
Speaker 3: And back when Biden was president, you had FBI Director
30:02
Speaker 3: Christopher Wray testify that it was white supremacy and these
30:06
Speaker 3: types of groups that was America's biggest problem. And I
30:10
Speaker 3: remember maybe us talking about it. Where's that happening? I
30:13
Speaker 3: don't see it happening. And so do we need to
30:15
Speaker 3: go look at Christopher Wray now for those things? Is
30:19
Speaker 3: he trying to help the Southern Poverty Law in their rhetoric?
30:23
Speaker 3: And what they're trying to do to raise money. It's interesting.
30:26
Speaker 3: I wonder about that.
30:28
Speaker 4: I mean, our own government has inflated the numbers to that,
30:31
Speaker 4: like to try to portray that as the real crisis.
30:34
Speaker 4: There was a study that I think I looked it up.
30:37
Speaker 4: I think Cory Booker quoted it where he claimed that
30:41
Speaker 4: it was some crazy stat, like, you know, white extremists
30:45
Speaker 4: or right-wing extremists or 80% of terrorists attacks or something.
30:48
Speaker 4: And it was like government accountability report. And, I think
30:53
Speaker 4: I've actually quoted this in the show before. You burst
30:56
Speaker 4: out laughing when you read the report's details, because there's
30:59
Speaker 4: an asterisk that says, beginning September 12, 2001 onward, 80%
31:06
Speaker 4: are from right wing. And I'm thinking, wait, September 12, 2001,
31:10
Speaker 4: very interesting date to start your timeline. So if you
31:14
Speaker 4: exclude the worst Islamist attack in American history, it's actually
31:17
Speaker 4: right wingers that are the problem. But then when you
31:20
Speaker 4: look also into the individual examples of right-wing extremism, Most
31:25
Speaker 4: of it was prison violence. You know, a lot of
31:28
Speaker 4: people in prison will join prison gangs and the Aryan Brotherhood.
31:31
Speaker 4: I don't even know if it's necessarily ideological. I just
31:35
Speaker 4: know that prisons are largely segregated and people kind of
31:39
Speaker 4: join ethnic gangs as protection. But almost all the right
31:42
Speaker 4: wing murders was like a prison fight where the white
31:46
Speaker 4: gang killed the guy from a different gang. But there
31:49
Speaker 4: was not even any evidence that it was ideologically motivated
31:52
Speaker 4: or adequate. of actual racial hatred, as opposed to some
31:55
Speaker 4: other sort of dispute that might arise in prison. So
31:58
Speaker 4: they're very desperate to juice the statistics. And the fact
32:03
Speaker 4: that they have to do this at all proves there
32:05
Speaker 4: isn't really a right-wing violence problem, as further evidenced by
32:09
Speaker 4: the fact that we haven't tried to kill other people
32:12
Speaker 4: 20 times in the past week.
32:13
Speaker 3: I'm thinking as you're talking, well, if they are successful
32:17
Speaker 3: in their mission, they're out of business. So what they
32:21
Speaker 3: do is they hire people to do the things that
32:24
Speaker 3: they're fighting against, and then they stay in business and
32:26
Speaker 3: they tell their donors, we need more money. We're making
32:29
Speaker 3: some headway here, but it's still happening. Look, it's still happening.
32:32
Speaker 3: We need some more help. That's what's going on with them.
32:34
Speaker 3: Let's go to Iran because the negotiation, Donald Trump called
32:38
Speaker 3: it off over the weekend. He said, we're not traveling
32:41
Speaker 3: over there to Pakistan. There are no negotiations going on.
32:45
Speaker 3: It seems like there probably should have never been any negotiations.
32:49
Speaker 3: We have continued to talk about this every week when
32:51
Speaker 3: we're together. I talk about it all the time that
32:54
Speaker 3: you can't negotiate with them. They're going to lie. They're
32:56
Speaker 3: going to steal. They're going to cheat in every way.
32:59
Speaker 3: There's nothing to negotiate with Iranians. And that's what we
33:02
Speaker 3: see happening. Meanwhile, the blockade is working there in the
33:06
Speaker 3: Strait of Hormuz. Not many ships are running through there.
33:09
Speaker 3: But what is happening is Iran is They're financially in trouble.
33:15
Speaker 3: And when this started, before it started, before the bombing
33:18
Speaker 3: and the war that is going on in Iran, their
33:22
Speaker 3: inflation was at 54%. We've talked about that before. I
33:26
Speaker 3: heard over the weekend it is now 100% on something.
33:28
Speaker 14: Yes.
33:30
Speaker 3: So it is starting to hurt the people, which is
33:32
Speaker 3: what is needed if you want a true regime change.
33:35
Speaker 3: And the regime is going to fill this. Nobody knows
33:37
Speaker 3: who is in charge. We don't know if the gay
33:39
Speaker 3: guy with no legs is in charge or the head
33:42
Speaker 3: of the IRGC is in charge. I don't know that
33:45
Speaker 3: Donald Trump and the administration know who is in charge.
33:48
Speaker 3: And I don't know if the people in charge even
33:50
Speaker 3: know that they're in charge. So I don't know. Is
33:52
Speaker 3: that fair? I don't know why we're even negotiating with them.
33:56
Speaker 3: But I think this blockade is going to work because...
33:59
Speaker 3: I have heard within a week to two weeks, Iran
34:02
Speaker 3: is going to have to cut production, stop production of
34:05
Speaker 3: oil because they have nowhere to put it. The ground
34:08
Speaker 3: tanks are full. They pulled one old ship tanker out
34:11
Speaker 3: of retirement. They're filling it. And when all of that
34:16
Speaker 3: is done, they're going to have to stop producing it.
34:18
Speaker 3: or it's going to go on the ground. And when
34:20
Speaker 3: they shut down an oil rig, it's not very cheap,
34:23
Speaker 3: not very easy to get it pumping and working again.
34:27
Speaker 3: So this could be very detrimental to them. And I
34:30
Speaker 3: think this blockade is working. Now, I want to go
34:33
Speaker 3: to a story that was written by Joseph Epstein over
34:36
Speaker 3: the weekend, and this was in the New York Post.
34:39
Speaker 3: This is about Tucker Carlson, and the headline of this is, Sorry,
34:44
Speaker 3: Israel Haters, USAID Pays Off Big for America, and the
34:48
Speaker 3: Numbers Don't Lie. Tucker Carlson is tormented, not by a
34:53
Speaker 3: policy failure, but by a domestic crisis. By the fact
34:58
Speaker 3: he said this week that President Donald Trump backed Israel
35:02
Speaker 3: in a war against Iran. It's in line with a
35:05
Speaker 3: grievance the podcaster and former Fox News host has nursed
35:09
Speaker 3: for months. He has told his followers that Israel is
35:13
Speaker 3: a completely insignificant country with no resources. America gets nothing
35:19
Speaker 3: from the relationship, he said, repeating a theme that echoes
35:23
Speaker 3: throughout the right-wing influencer world. Theo Vaughn is another one,
35:28
Speaker 3: the third biggest podcaster on Spotify. He declared on his show,
35:32
Speaker 3: all of our effing money goes to Israel. Candace Owens
35:36
Speaker 3: turned such complaints into her brand's growth engine. Influencers are
35:42
Speaker 3: political adolescents, especially in this era of grift when an
35:47
Speaker 3: emotional statement on a visceral topic can achieve instant fame.
35:53
Speaker 3: But here's the thing. America spends $ 3. 8 billion with Israel.
35:59
Speaker 3: And what Joseph Epstein points out here in this piece
36:02
Speaker 3: is that most of that money The largest bit of
36:06
Speaker 3: that money is Israel's purchases of our equipment from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon,
36:13
Speaker 3: and General Dynamics. The F-35 program alone, which Israel was
36:17
Speaker 3: the first to use in combat, supports 290,000 American jobs,
36:20
Speaker 3: generates $ 72 billion in annual economic output, and has produced
36:23
Speaker 3: $ 175 billion order backlog. people are working overtime at good
36:37
Speaker 3: paying jobs from a $ 3. 8 billion investment.
36:41
Speaker 4: I understand why people have issues with any sort of
36:45
Speaker 4: foreign aid. And, you know, I think if we're going to,
36:48
Speaker 4: Get rid of foreign aid. It should be all or
36:50
Speaker 4: nothing with the countries we're currently giving it to. But yes,
36:53
Speaker 4: the rhetoric of we don't have money for our own
36:57
Speaker 4: homeless people or the hungry or X, Y, and Z
37:00
Speaker 4: because of aid to Israel is obviously laughably false. I mean,
37:03
Speaker 4: we're a $ 30- plus trillion economy. Our government spends– you and
37:09
Speaker 4: I were doing a mental math before the show. I
37:11
Speaker 4: think it came out to like $ 15 to $ 20 billion
37:12
Speaker 4: per day.
37:12
Speaker 5: Yeah.
37:14
Speaker 4: We're talking about a couple hours of government spending on
37:17
Speaker 4: a single day here. If you're going to oppose aid
37:22
Speaker 4: to Israel, it should be out of principle of, I
37:25
Speaker 4: don't want money going to foreign countries, as opposed to, oh,
37:29
Speaker 4: we're going to have no money for ourselves. I think
37:32
Speaker 4: every single state budget in this country is more than that.
37:34
Speaker 4: $ 3 billion. It's both an enormous sum of money, but
37:40
Speaker 4: not a lot of money at all relative to what
37:43
Speaker 4: the biggest economy in the world spends on an annual basis.
37:46
Speaker 4: So yeah, good points there. And yes, we at least
37:49
Speaker 4: have the benefit of it being a circular flow and
37:53
Speaker 4: that it's going back to American companies. In fact, if
37:56
Speaker 4: you're really going to make an argument against it, it
37:58
Speaker 4: should be, hey, we're spending this almost $ 4 billion subsidizing
38:03
Speaker 4: a big American corporation as opposed to a foreign country
38:06
Speaker 4: that has helped us quite a bit recently.
38:09
Speaker 3: I have one more clip here to play about Iran,
38:12
Speaker 3: and this has to do with secondary sanctions for banking
38:16
Speaker 3: partners of Iran. Here is Scott Bassett, Treasury Secretary.
38:20
Speaker 11: We are reaching out to banks, including Chinese banks, to
38:24
Speaker 11: remind them that any Iranian goods And the purchases thereof
38:32
Speaker 11: are forbidden and that the dollars would be sanctioned and
38:39
Speaker 11: that we will press for secondary sanctions if there's a problem.
38:43
Speaker 3: We have more of the conversation coming up. We're going
38:45
Speaker 3: to bounce around really quick here in just a few minutes.
38:48
Speaker 3: Have a lot of audio clips, a lot of news
38:51
Speaker 3: to get through. We're going to do that coming up
38:53
Speaker 3: right after the break.
38:54
Speaker 16: I don't know about you, but the one thing the
38:56
Speaker 16: last five or so years has taught me is that
38:58
Speaker 16: there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of companies
39:00
Speaker 16: and services out there that don't share the foundational values
39:03
Speaker 16: of this country and we the people. And I've spoken
39:05
Speaker 16: to a lot of you about it who share the
39:07
Speaker 16: same concerns, and you wonder where to shop, where to
39:10
Speaker 16: spend your hard-earned money without feeling gross about it. It
39:13
Speaker 16: can be frustrating, but here's the good news. You don't
39:16
Speaker 16: have to do the research yourself, and you don't have
39:18
Speaker 16: to tie yourself up in knots any longer, because we've
39:20
Speaker 16: done the legwork for you. At mammothnation.com, we have thousands
39:24
Speaker 16: of vetted, freedom-loving, pro-America companies who actually share your values.
39:28
Speaker 4: So now, the ball's in your court.
39:30
Speaker 16: Keep spending money with companies that frustrate you, and then
39:32
Speaker 16: use the proceeds to fund initiatives that are in direct
39:35
Speaker 16: competition with your values, or be a part of something better.
39:38
Speaker 16: I think the choice is pretty easy. Come be a
39:41

40:01
Speaker 3: Welcome back to The Truth Be Told here on a
40:03
Speaker 3: Monday night with Matt Palumbo. I am Booker Scott. Thank
40:06
Speaker 3: you for being here. I appreciate it. Whether you're listening
40:08
Speaker 3: live or you found us on over 40 different platforms
40:11
Speaker 3: on a podcast, you can find us wherever a podcast
40:14
Speaker 3: is available. If you like what you hear, you like
40:17
Speaker 3: the articles that we put out here at The Truth
40:19
Speaker 3: Be Told, please share them with friends and family and
40:22
Speaker 3: get the truth out there. Well, there was a court ruling, Matt,
40:27
Speaker 3: that upheld the earlier decision on asylum seekers, and it
40:33
Speaker 3: kind of puts a dent in, you know, what Donald Trump,
40:36
Speaker 3: the DHS, and what ICE is trying to do. It's
40:39
Speaker 3: not really going to affect the border, but it may
40:42
Speaker 3: affect other things. Did you see that ruling at all?
40:45
Speaker 4: It blocked— was it the one that blocked— Trump repealing temporary
40:50
Speaker 4: protection status or.
40:51
Speaker 3: Something like that?
40:51
Speaker 8: Yes, yeah, yeah.
40:52
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah.
40:52
Speaker 3: Let's listen to a clip here. Here's Stephen Miller. We'll
40:55
Speaker 3: get him to talk about what the administration is going
40:58
Speaker 3: to do about it.
40:59
Speaker 4: Will you abide by the D.C.
41:01
Speaker 2: Circuit's ruling until such a time that the court overturns it?
41:05
Speaker 4: We have to remember, Laura, the D.C.
41:07
Speaker 17: Circuit upheld an injunction that was equally lawless from the
41:11
Speaker 17: district court injunction. So this doesn't change the current status
41:14
Speaker 17: quo at the border.
41:15
Speaker 4: This is one of the most important cases.
41:17
Speaker 17: That exists in the entire country with respect to the
41:20
Speaker 17: president's executive actions. I'm not going to advertise to the cartels.
41:24
Speaker 17: I'm not going to advertise to the smugglers what tools
41:26
Speaker 17: President Trump and Secretary Mullen are deploying. But I can
41:29
Speaker 17: promise you, we are going to keep the border sealed completely, totally,
41:34
Speaker 17: fully shut. And this abomination of a ruling, this abomination
41:38
Speaker 17: of a decision— He'll be appealed.
41:40
Speaker 4: We'll win in front of the Supreme Court.
41:41
Speaker 3: And obviously he is on there with Laura Ingraham. Did
41:44
Speaker 3: you happen to see the picture from Saturday night? We
41:46
Speaker 3: started this hour with the dinner and what happened Saturday
41:50
Speaker 3: night with Donald Trump. Did you see the picture of
41:52
Speaker 3: Stephen Miller leaving with his wife, Katie Miller? She's pregnant
41:56
Speaker 3: and he's well, yeah, he was actually behind her. And
42:00
Speaker 3: a lot of people are. coming hard after Stephen Miller
42:03
Speaker 3: for not being in front of her. And I say,
42:06
Speaker 3: what do you know? If the same situation were going on,
42:09
Speaker 3: he has both hands on her hips. He's guiding her through.
42:12
Speaker 3: So who knows? No one knows.
42:15
Speaker 4: No one knew where the shooter was coming from anyway.
42:18
Speaker 3: That's right.
42:18
Speaker 4: All you can do is cover half their body and
42:21
Speaker 4: pray you're covering the right half.
42:22
Speaker 3: That's right. I would agree with that. What about Congress?
42:25
Speaker 3: How do you think they're doing overall? The American people
42:29
Speaker 3: think they suck.
42:30
Speaker 4: Well, I think cockroaches usually poll higher, so I'm usually
42:34
Speaker 4: in agreement with that. The depressing thing, though, is whenever
42:39
Speaker 4: you see a poll of Congress, it's like, you know,
42:41
Speaker 4: they poll at 5%, but then everyone rates their own
42:45
Speaker 4: congressman as great. It's like, my congressman's fine, but it's
42:48
Speaker 4: all the other ones that are horrible. Really, it's really
42:51
Speaker 4: all of them.
42:52
Speaker 3: And everybody says, we're going to primary that person. But
42:54
Speaker 3: like you say, when you poll the guy that is
42:57
Speaker 3: representing you, everybody likes him. Yeah, but for some reason,
43:01
Speaker 3: when they get there together, they don't like them. But
43:04
Speaker 3: here's Congressman Chip Roy from Texas. He's talking about Congress
43:07
Speaker 3: and that very problem.
43:09
Speaker 13: At some point, people will look at this body and say,
43:11
Speaker 13: maybe we should get rid of all 435 members of
43:14
Speaker 13: the House and all 100 members of the Senate and
43:16
Speaker 13: start over because Congress is literally failing the American people.
43:22
Speaker 3: I like the idea. I like that idea. But there
43:25
Speaker 3: is a process that goes through to do that. And
43:28
Speaker 3: it's called elections. And I'm a big election reform person
43:32
Speaker 3: at this point. And maybe we should talk about that sometime.
43:35
Speaker 3: I believe that there are things that can be done
43:38
Speaker 3: that would make a difference. I used to be a
43:40
Speaker 3: big term limits person. But I just don't think we're
43:43
Speaker 3: ever going to get there. And it also punishes people
43:46
Speaker 3: that are good in Congress, that you're taking them out
43:49
Speaker 3: of a job that they are really good at. And
43:52
Speaker 3: why would you want to do that?
43:53
Speaker 4: I think one of the things... That would help a
43:57
Speaker 4: lot is just expanding the House of Representatives and that
44:00
Speaker 4: it used to be as the population went up, the
44:03
Speaker 4: number of representatives went up. I mean, the whole point
44:05
Speaker 4: of being a representative is you represent a certain population.
44:09
Speaker 4: And I think it should be a fixed population. It's,
44:12
Speaker 4: you know, it's only been, what, the past hundred or
44:15
Speaker 4: so years.
44:15
Speaker 3: I think. It used to be about 30,000, 33,000. Now
44:17
Speaker 3: it's 800,000.
44:21
Speaker 4: We would have 11,000 representatives if we went back to
44:24
Speaker 4: the original 30,000.
44:25
Speaker 3: Can you imagine how much sex we're going to have then?
44:28
Speaker 4: It would be the biggest gift to the media ever
44:33
Speaker 4: to have that much stuff.
44:34
Speaker 7: To cover it.
44:36
Speaker 4: It would be like a renaissance in local journalism. It
44:38
Speaker 4: would be the worst people in the world covering it,
44:41
Speaker 4: but it would be a huge jobs boom for them. Listen,
44:44
Speaker 4: I understand 11,000 is probably a bit too much.
44:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're going to have to really fund the slush fund.
44:51
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing. And then also their salaries would
44:54
Speaker 4: probably have to be quite a bit lower. And their
44:56
Speaker 4: workload would obviously be substantially less, too. But you could
44:59
Speaker 4: actually have like a real you know, the percentage of
45:03
Speaker 4: a district that would actually know the representative would be.
45:07
Speaker 4: potentially double digits as opposed to a fraction of a percent.
45:11
Speaker 4: So I think that would be a thing. And then
45:12
Speaker 4: also it kind of removes the gerrymandering problem or at
45:16
Speaker 4: least reduces it in that it becomes significantly harder to
45:20
Speaker 4: draw biased districts. So that's what I like. And then
45:22
Speaker 4: I don't know, it would be kind of cool if
45:24
Speaker 4: we had a Superdome-style Congress, but maybe it's a bit tacky.
45:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think it's ever going to happen, Matt.
45:31
Speaker 4: No, let me say it. It's definitely never going to happen,
45:34
Speaker 4: but it would be cool.
45:35
Speaker 3: I think election reform could happen, but let's move on
45:38
Speaker 3: to NATO. Let's go to France and Macron, Marco Rubio.
45:42
Speaker 3: Let's listen to this together and then we'll talk about it.
45:45
Speaker 2: The president of France, Macron, goes to China, spends about
45:48
Speaker 2: six hours meeting with Xi Jinping. And then on the
45:50
Speaker 2: flight back, he talks to a bunch of reporters. And
45:54
Speaker 2: here's what he told the reporters. He told the reporters,
45:56
Speaker 2: number one, that it's time for Europe to break away
45:59
Speaker 2: from the United States, not to depend on the dollar,
46:01
Speaker 2: not to depend so much on us, to become their
46:04
Speaker 2: own third superpower. The second thing he says, which I
46:07
Speaker 2: found really interesting, was that Europe needs to make sure
46:10
Speaker 2: that they don't get involved in conflicts that are not
46:12
Speaker 2: their conflicts, specifically that Europe should not be picking sides
46:15
Speaker 2: on Taiwan between the United States and China. And so
46:19
Speaker 2: I think this is a good moment for us to
46:20
Speaker 2: ask Europe, does Macron speak for all of Europe? Is
46:23
Speaker 2: Macron now the head of Europe?
46:25
Speaker 3: Is he now the most powerful leader in Europe?
46:27
Speaker 2: Because if he is, then there's some things we're going
46:28
Speaker 2: to need to change. Number one, Europe, including France specifically,
46:33
Speaker 2: I thought that last comment was funny. France is coming
46:35
Speaker 2: to the rescue in North Africa. If we can get there, America. Hey, Trump,
46:37
Speaker 2: can we borrow a plane to get.
46:38
Speaker 3: Our troops somewhere? This NATO thing is a joke to
47:02
Speaker 3: me at this point. We're there for them. They're never
47:05
Speaker 3: there for us. All they do is bitch and complain
47:07
Speaker 3: about America. I'm ready to be done with the western
47:09
Speaker 3: part of Europe.
47:11
Speaker 4: I don't know.
47:11
Speaker 3: Maybe we keep Poland as an outpost out there, but
47:15
Speaker 3: those guys in the west, they're wackadoodle. Macron is, and
47:19
Speaker 3: I agree with Marco Rubio. It's time to have a
47:21
Speaker 3: conversation about this.
47:23
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we keep the entire world safe. All
47:27
Speaker 4: these smug Europeans who want to talk about, oh, we
47:29
Speaker 4: can afford to pay for free health care for everyone, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah,
47:34
Speaker 4: we cover your defense bill. So it's a little bit easier.
47:37
Speaker 4: And it's like you're also taxing yourself like 60% or 70%.
47:40
Speaker 4: So I guess I have to explain to them what
47:43
Speaker 4: free means. But no, I really think Europe, we should
47:48
Speaker 4: have a lot more appreciation from them in that. And additionally,
47:53
Speaker 4: Almost all innovation in the world is coming from us.
47:57
Speaker 4: Every piece of technology that has been transformative for the
48:01
Speaker 4: past couple of decades is coming from the U.S. There
48:04
Speaker 4: are a handful of tech companies in America that are
48:07
Speaker 4: individually bigger than the entire tech sector of all of
48:11
Speaker 4: Europe combined. So, yeah, we are the superpower. We always
48:15
Speaker 4: will be. And I think we should demand some respect
48:17
Speaker 4: for it.
48:17
Speaker 3: I don't know that we always will be. I hope
48:19
Speaker 3: that we are, but you never know. We're a young
48:22
Speaker 3: country still coming up on 250 years, and we should
48:25
Speaker 3: have a big celebration about that. What about the California
48:29
Speaker 3: hospice fraud? Have you paid attention to that? This is
48:33
Speaker 3: massive out in California. They are having hearings, and let's
48:36
Speaker 3: listen to this together. This was a hearing in California
48:39
Speaker 3: this past week on the hospice fraud that is taking place.
48:43
Speaker 18: You'd be amazed at how many hospices, the door you
48:47
Speaker 18: can walk up to in California, and there is nobody there.
48:50
Speaker 18: There is five months' worth of mail that you can
48:54
Speaker 18: see stacked up from CMS, and nobody's there. And that
49:00
Speaker 18: passed a survey. How did that happen? How do you
49:04
Speaker 18: put a hospice in a burrito stand?
49:06
Speaker 3: Great question.
49:09
Speaker 4: Well, I remember when Nick Shirley was exposing fraud, Newsom's
49:12
Speaker 4: social media team said it was racist. So I think
49:15
Speaker 4: that Newsom is now racist for calling this out.
49:19
Speaker 3: We're in the wrong business.
49:20
Speaker 5: Matt.
49:20
Speaker 3: We should be in the burrito hospice business.
49:23
Speaker 4: The burrito hospice.
49:25
Speaker 3: Yeah. And ask for grants for millions and millions of dollars.
49:29
Speaker 3: Forget the burritos. You know, that's what's going on. That's
49:33
Speaker 3: where our tax money is going. That's why Congress needs
49:36
Speaker 3: to be fixed. Chip Roy said get rid of all
49:38
Speaker 3: 435 of them plus the 100 senators. I'm good with that.
49:43
Speaker 3: If we continue to just throw our money around in
49:46
Speaker 3: places– well, it's going all over the country. I was
49:49
Speaker 3: going to say Minnesota, but I saw one that's happening
49:52
Speaker 3: in Maine. California is happening. We've seen it in Mississippi.
49:56
Speaker 3: It's all over this country that our money is being
49:59
Speaker 3: used– and given away and stolen by other Americans. And
50:04
Speaker 3: I'm tired of it. And I know everybody listening to
50:06
Speaker 3: this tonight, I know, Matt, you are too, and I
50:09
Speaker 3: don't know what the answer is. The accountability only, it
50:13
Speaker 3: doesn't work, because if they steal $ 100 billion, we're going
50:17
Speaker 3: to get about $ 50 million of it back.
50:20
Speaker 4: It would almost be less insulting to get nothing back.
50:25
Speaker 4: $ 50 out of $ 100 billion, it's still 0%.
50:30
Speaker 3: You're right. And we were talking about January 6th briefly there,
50:33
Speaker 3: but there is another story coming out of January 6th,
50:37
Speaker 3: and this had to do with that fake trial that
50:40
Speaker 3: they had that was made for primetime television with an
50:44
Speaker 3: ABC producer and director that did all of that for
50:46
Speaker 3: Nancy Pelosi. And you had two Republicans that are no
50:50
Speaker 3: longer Republicans because that ended their career with that. That
50:57
Speaker 3: Cassidy Hutchinson. Do you remember that name? She was the
51:01
Speaker 3: one that.
51:01
Speaker 4: Yeah, she lied about Trump trying to grab the steering
51:05
Speaker 4: wheel of the presidential limo to go to the rally.
51:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, big story.
51:11
Speaker 4: It was complete BS. I think she even misidentified the
51:14
Speaker 4: car Trump was in. Because I remember Bongino pointed out
51:16
Speaker 4: at the time that there was like a special... I
51:18
Speaker 4: think it was almost like a... magnet with a presidential
51:22
Speaker 4: seal on it that goes on the car he's supposed
51:24
Speaker 4: to get into and i believe it wasn't on the
51:27
Speaker 4: beast it was on a different car.
51:29
Speaker 3: She wasn't in the car with him she wasn't.
51:31
Speaker 4: An eyewitness yeah yeah so it didn't add up in
51:35
Speaker 4: multiple ways well.
51:36
Speaker 3: They're investigating her you know from from that let's listen
51:40
Speaker 3: to this.
51:40
Speaker 12: Clip i know i can't talk about that but it's
51:43
Speaker 12: been going on for a long time there was a
51:45
Speaker 12: time that it was It was shut.
51:48
Speaker 3: Down for a while. Talking about the investigation.
51:50
Speaker 7: The last administration.
51:51
Speaker 12: I don't know why. And it was started again over
51:56
Speaker 12: the past year or so.
51:57
Speaker 3: And that brings us to today.
52:00
Speaker 18: You mean the investigation began before this administration and then
52:03
Speaker 18: was shut down during.
52:05
Speaker 4: The Biden administration?
52:05
Speaker 12: That's my understanding.
52:07
Speaker 3: So someone in the Biden Department of Justice, they started
52:10
Speaker 3: an investigation into her lies that she told and then
52:13
Speaker 3: it was shut down.
52:14
Speaker 4: So I have a lot to add to that, actually.
52:17
Speaker 4: The Federalists had published texts from Cassidy Hutchinson because— She
52:23
Speaker 4: was texting her friends after January 6th, and on January
52:28
Speaker 4: 6th was referring to herself as an insurrectionist and was
52:32
Speaker 4: basically in support of what was happening. And yes, you
52:35
Speaker 4: were saying she got investigated. Well, I think that explains
52:39
Speaker 4: the change, because it was, I think, Elissa Fara and
52:42
Speaker 4: Liz Cheney set her up with a bunch of lawyers
52:45
Speaker 4: that were going to represent her for free. And that's
52:48
Speaker 4: So that was the exact moment she shifted and changed.
52:52
Speaker 4: And oh, my God, it was a horrible event that
52:54
Speaker 4: she was being lighthearted about as it was going on. So, yeah,
52:58
Speaker 4: she's a total fraud. She sold out for free legal fees.
53:00
Speaker 3: I don't know if I can do an hour without
53:02
Speaker 3: a transgender story. So let's go to one.
53:06
Speaker 8: So a wild and frankly disturbing story out of the
53:09
Speaker 8: state of Utah, a transgender woman and her partner are
53:13
Speaker 8: accused of kidnapping her child, allegedly to go take her
53:17
Speaker 8: to Cuba and get gender reassignment surgery. Madeline Rivera live
53:21
Speaker 8: in Washington with more on this.
53:22
Speaker 1: Maddie, what do we know?
53:24
Speaker 14: Hey, good morning, Bill. So the case prompted the Justice
53:26
Speaker 14: Department to send a government plane to Cuba to bring
53:30
Speaker 14: the 10-year-old child back.
53:31
Speaker 7: To the U.S.
53:32
Speaker 14: Federal officials say the child's biological father, Rose Inessa Ethington,
53:37
Speaker 14: who's now a transgender woman, and her partner took the
53:40
Speaker 14: 10-year-old for what was supposed to be a camping trip
53:43
Speaker 14: in Alberta, Canada, late last month. but they never made
53:46
Speaker 14: it to their hotel or campground. Instead, after crossing the
53:49
Speaker 14: Canadian border, the couple allegedly flew from Vancouver to Mexico City.
53:54
Speaker 14: Then they took another flight from Mexico to Havana. All
53:57
Speaker 14: of this happening, by the way, without the knowledge and
53:59
Speaker 14: permission of the child's biological mother.
54:02
Speaker 3: I don't have much of a comment here. I just
54:04
Speaker 3: want you to be aware that DEI wokeness and this
54:08
Speaker 3: trans crap, it's not over. It's still lurking. It's still
54:11
Speaker 3: a part of our society. And we're coming to the
54:14
Speaker 3: end of our hour. As always, Matt, thank you. What
54:16
Speaker 3: do we look forward to this week? Do you have
54:19
Speaker 3: anything on your radar this week?
54:22
Speaker 4: I think it's been the same the past two months
54:24
Speaker 4: of just I ran, I ran, I ran. Maybe what's
54:29
Speaker 4: next with the White House press correspondents dinner. And that's
54:33
Speaker 4: the main zoo.
54:34
Speaker 3: And we have to get this government back open, at
54:36
Speaker 3: least DHS. That has to happen. Secret Service is funded
54:39
Speaker 3: under that. And we saw what they did Saturday night.
54:42
Speaker 3: And that has to happen. The Republicans, I guess, are
54:45
Speaker 3: going to pass a skinny reconciliation. I think it is
54:48
Speaker 3: a mistake. You can only pass a couple a year,
54:51
Speaker 3: and it's never been done, which is going to leave
54:53
Speaker 3: a problem for the upcoming 2027 budget that's going to
54:58
Speaker 3: be due in September. Matt, thanks for joining us, as always.
55:01
Speaker 3: I really do appreciate it. We'll do it again next week.
55:04
Speaker 3: Have a great week.
55:04
Speaker 4: You bet.
55:05
Speaker 7: Yep, see you then.
55:06
Speaker 3: And don't forget that you were told 2,000 years ago
55:09
Speaker 3: that you are the salt of the earth. And salt
55:11
Speaker 3: without flavor, it has no value. So whatever you do,
55:14
Speaker 3: keep being salty. Have a great night.
55:16
Speaker 1: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
55:20
Speaker 1: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
