  It's six Eastern.
• 0:08
  It's three o'clock Pacific.
• 0:10
  This is a president of action.
• 0:11
  Coast to coast and around the world from the America Out Loud Talk Radio Studios.
• 0:16
  If he says he's serious about something, he means it.
• 0:19
  It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
• 0:23
  They keep trying to kill Donald Trump over the weekend was the third attempt.
• 0:28
  And again, it was unsuccessful.
• 0:30
  Luckily.
• 0:31
  It happened in Washington, D.C.
• 0:33
  this time, and we're going to talk about it right here on The Truth Be Told.
• 0:37
  I'm Booker, along with me here, as always on a Monday.
• 0:41
  It is Matt Palumbo and Matt.
• 0:43
  It was, you know, it was just nutty what these people are trying to do in attempting, or actually, they're not attempting.
• 0:50
  They are trying to kill President Donald Trump.
• 0:52
  Yeah, and the left's first response is oh, it was a staged uh assassination attempt.
• 0:58
  And it's like, well, first of all, you'd think they would have done a better job at, you know, that maybe they would have let the guy get closer if they were going to try to make it seem dramatic or something.
• 1:08
  Trump was completely unfazed as he's been through that.
• 1:10
  He's been far closer to death uh than happened there.
• 1:14
  But it is just bizarre that leftists who um themselves would love nothing more than to see Donald Trump get killed, are shocked that someone would actually try to kill Donald Trump.
• 1:26
  And it's you know, the third time that, you know, with the in recent memory, and that there was the butler attempts, there was the one on the golf course after that, and now this.
• 1:34
  But if you add together every single attempt, and this is obviously including some more half-assed attempts.
• 1:41
  Um, I saw 19 overall.
• 1:44
  And there are some that people have forgotten about.
• 1:46
  Like when Trump was contained in 2016, there was a kid who claimed he was going to be trying to get a photo of Trump and then grabbed an officer's gun and and couldn't pull it out of the officer's holster in time and got tackled.
• 1:59
  But but that was you know, another attempt where if that just went a little bit differently, could have been a successful assassination there.
• 2:06
  So this unfortunately, I don't I don't think it's gonna be the last one they see.
• 2:10
  They're gonna keep trying until they pull it off.
• 2:12
  And um this is just who they are.
• 2:14
  And a little bit later, I want to talk about why, why this is happening, where it comes from.
• 2:19
  I think most of us know, but it it's been going on for a decade.
• 2:23
  And and I think we really need to have that conversation, and we need to get people to shut up.
• 2:28
  We we need to stop it.
• 2:30
  And uh, you know, Donald Trump kind of made those comments in the press conference on Saturday night after this happened.
• 2:36
  And Matt, I happen to be watching C SPAN Live when this happened.
• 2:40
  I don't watch a lot of C SPAN, but I couldn't find it, the program on the dinner anywhere else that was leading up to the dinner because I think it started right around nine o'clock Eastern.
• 2:50
  So I was watching C SPAN from eight to nine.
• 2:53
  I was halfway paying attention, and then I see all these Secret Service members running across tables, which was very odd to me.
• 3:00
  And then all of a sudden there are three guys up on stage with long guns, uh, and I started paying attention.
• 3:06
  What just happened?
• 3:07
  I think someone tried to attempt uh an assassination, and and that's exactly what had happened.
• 3:12
  And then we we sort of know what has happened since then.
• 3:15
  But let's listen to part of that press conference.
• 3:18
  Here is President Donald Trump.
• 3:20
  Well, thank you very much.
• 3:22
  And that was very unexpected.
• 3:26
  But uh incredibly acted upon by Secret Service and law enforcement, and this was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press.
• 3:44
  And in a certain way it did.
• 3:46
  Because the fact that they just unified, I saw a room that was just totally unified.
• 3:53
  It was in one way very beautiful, a very beautiful thing to see a man.
• 3:57
  George A security checkpoint armed with multiple weapons.
• 4:02
  And he was taken down by some very brave members of Secret Service, and they acted very quickly.
• 4:08
  And I've just released for purposes of transparency, clarity.
• 4:14
  I've ordered it to be put out.
• 4:16
  You probably have it by now, put out on truth and put out on many other platforms.
• 4:22
  A tape showing the violence of this thug that attacked our constitution and also showing how quickly Secret Service and law enforcement acted on our country's behalf.
• 4:34
  Matt, I'm sure you saw that video.
• 4:35
  What do you make of that?
• 4:37
  Where the guy is running through the lobby.
• 4:39
  He was a guy that was staying there at the hotel at the Hilton, which happens to be the same place where Ronald Reagan was shot.
• 4:46
  There are a lot of events there.
• 4:47
  What do you make of that video?
• 4:49
  That guy was just running as fast as he could.
• 4:52
  And there are a couple of things here that I want to talk about, but first let me get your comment on that.
• 4:56
  Well, you know, I heard was reading from a lot of people at the event itself.
• 5:01
  They were sort of amazed by the lack of security that was there just in general, um, that they had to go through.
• 5:07
  Um, some of them were commenting there was more security at the at the parties they were going to that we, you know, the over the weekend, uh, than the White House correspondence dinner itself, which itself is is uh pretty sad state of events.
• 5:19
  Um yeah, I mean it it looked like the guy got a lot further than you would have expected, given his strategy was literally just to run as fast as he can.
• 5:28
  I mean, thank God the Secret Service got him, but there was obviously the opportunity for a lot of crossfire in that situation.
• 5:35
  Um I know Monday morning more than quarterbacking here, but it just seemed like you it was very the security was very poor uh to begin with.
• 5:43
  Uh I don't know, did you see his manifesto letter that he put out that was?
• 5:48
  I did.
• 5:49
  See, they call someone who's calling it the gayest manifesto of all time.
• 5:53
  And I don't even know why we call these things a manifesto.
• 5:56
  It's a letter.
• 5:57
  It's a letter telling people what you're gonna do.
• 5:59
  You're right, it wasn't even a manifesto, but it was uh I'm assuming most people had had been seeing it.
• 6:04
  He begins by apologizing to as many people as possible.
• 6:08
  It's like sorry.
• 6:10
  Like he apologizes to his job for calling out under false research.
• 6:15
  The students that he teaches.
• 6:17
  Yeah.
• 6:17
  Yeah, yeah, that but not that he's gonna go try to murder a bunch of people.
• 6:21
  That's where he he draws the line.
• 6:22
  But uh well, this is something we Matt, we've talked about this before in his uh letter or manifesto, whatever you want to call it.
• 6:30
  I don't like manifesto because I saw over the weekend on social media someone asked the question how come every one of these killers has a manifesto?
• 6:37
  Well, it it's not a manifesto, it's an email that he sent to a lot of people.
• 6:42
  Uh manifesto makes it sound a whole lot better than what it is, which is an email to a bunch of people telling your intent, what you're gonna do and what you believe, why you're gonna do it, which he's a far leftist, he's 31 years old.
• 6:55
  He is a teacher, he was a teacher of the month in December 2024, where he teaches in California.
• 7:00
  Teaches in California.
• 7:01
  His sister says he's sort of been radicalized.
• 7:01
  His sister says he's sort of been radicalized.
• 7:04
  Uh, it seems like politically he has attended a No Kings protest, one of those is all, and he went to go kill Donald Trump.
• 7:04
  Uh, it seems like politically he has attended a No Kings protest, one of those is all, and he went to go kill Donald Trump.
• 7:12
  Something else you mentioned, though, a few minutes ago, was uh the conspiracy theories that I've already seen.
• 7:12
  Something else you mentioned, though, a few minutes ago, was uh the conspiracy theories that I've already seen.
• 7:18
  Yeah, every time this happens, the conspiracy theories get out in front of the actual real news.
• 7:18
  Yeah, every time this happens, the conspiracy theories get out in front of the actual real news.
• 7:24
  And we're gonna talk about that here in just a few minutes.
• 7:24
  And we're gonna talk about that here in just a few minutes.
• 7:28
  But let's listen to this.
• 7:28
  But let's listen to this.
• 7:29
  Here's another.
• 7:29
  Here's another clip from Donald Trump and his reaction.
• 7:32
  This was from the press conference Saturday night.
• 7:36
  Especially because fortunately you have experience with these sorts of friends in that moment when you realize there was a threat, and service agents were telling us to take it down.
• 7:49
  Can you describe um what was going through your mind how you were feeling in that moment?
• 7:54
  That's a very good question, actually.
• 7:56
  I was uh it's always shocking when something like this happens, happened to me a little bit.
• 8:02
  And uh that never changes.
• 8:05
  Uh the fact we were sitting right next to each other.
• 8:08
  First lady on my right, and I heard a noise and sort of thought it was a tray.
• 8:14
  I thought it was a tray going down.
• 8:17
  I've heard that many times, and it was pretty loud noise.
• 8:20
  And it was from quite far away.
• 8:22
  He hadn't reached the area at all.
• 8:25
  They really got him.
• 8:26
  But uh, so it was quite far away, but it was a gun.
• 8:30
  And some people uh really understood that pretty quickly, other people didn't.
• 8:36
  I was watching to see what was happening.
• 8:38
  Probably should have gone down even faster.
• 8:41
  Uh Melania was very cognizant, I think, of what happened.
• 8:45
  I think she knew immediately what happened.
• 8:47
  She was saying that's a bad noise.
• 8:51
  And uh I would we were whisked away along with other people, but we were really west away.
• 8:59
  And again, the performance of the Secret Service and the police, all of the law enforcement, I thought it was really good.
• 9:05
  So it was very quick.
• 9:06
  There wasn't a lot of time to be thinking.
• 9:08
  I want to come back to some of the things that you said, Matt, because I saw a lot of that over the weekend, the armchair quarterbacking about the security, and you only had to have a ticket.
• 9:17
  You could flash the ticket, you walk through the megatrometer and bam you're in.
• 9:22
  You know, some people are saying the perimeter should have been larger.
• 9:24
  You know, you're in a hotel.
• 9:26
  It has 1,100 rooms.
• 9:28
  There are a lot of people that are staying at the hotel that are not going to any events, and you can't block them off, which would mean you would have to do all of the security out there on the street.
• 9:38
  And this guy was staying at the hotel.
• 9:40
  So I I would like to say this that I think they did their job with security.
• 9:46
  No one was hurt.
• 9:47
  What happened is exactly what should have happened.
• 9:51
  They prepared for something like this, and when it happened, nobody got hurt.
• 9:55
  Isn't that what it's really supposed to be about?
• 9:58
  In the context of someone getting through with a gun, yes, it did go as as best as it could have.
• 10:03
  Um, and yes, I as I said earlier, I I get that I am Monday morning quarterbacking um on this, and and yes, with with perfect hindsight is all they could have been differently, but I am acknowledging that.
• 10:13
  And uh, not like I would have done much better myself, probably, but um, it it is just crazy how close these people keep getting.
• 10:23
  I mean, I guess not as close as this time, but the fact I mean, I it's close in the context of within a few hundred feet of him.
• 10:29
  Um it is frightening.
• 10:31
  And and you know, it there is an assassination culture in this country, it seems coming entirely from the far left, and uh they are gonna keep drawing this over and over and over.
• 10:40
  I believe that because these people are they think they're heroes, they really do believe they are heroes.
• 10:45
  Let's go to a question from Peter Ducey to President Trump again from the press conference Saturday night.
• 10:51
  Respectfully.
• 10:52
  Why do you think this keeps happening to you?
• 10:56
  Well, you know, I've studied assassinations, and I must tell you, the most impactful people, the people that do the most, you take a look at the people, Abraham Lincoln.
• 11:10
  I mean, you go through the people that have gone through this where they got them.
• 11:15
  But the people that do the most, the people that make the biggest impact, they're the ones that they go after.
• 11:22
  He's right.
• 11:23
  The people that uh do the best job, whether you're on the left or the right, you had uh RFK that was killed, JFK, both of them uh doing a good job in shaking up the establishment at the time.
• 11:35
  You had Ronald Reagan, and you know, just in the last uh 60 or 70 years I'm talking about.
• 11:40
  I'm not going back to Abraham Lincoln, but you've had Donald Trump multiple times, and all of those people were movers and shakers against the establishment.
• 11:48
  And I think Donald Trump is right.
• 11:50
  Uh no, completely.
• 11:51
  And um, I I think I'm repeating myself, but I I I did just love how unfazed he looked by it, and we didn't give anyone the satisfaction of of you know showing terror or fear or anything.
• 12:02
  And I I assume the conspiracy people will cite that as evidence it was staged, but you know, they would cite literally anything as that kind of evidence anyway.
• 12:10
  Yeah, I've seen that conspiracy theory that it was Donald Trump that paid this guy to do what he did.
• 12:15
  And you know, let's just stop that.
• 12:17
  You know, look at the look at the guy's history, look at the evidence and stop with those type of conspiracy theories.
• 12:24
  Let me tell you why.
• 12:25
  They're stupid.
• 12:27
  I was gonna say, um, I think I might have accidentally just disrupted the flow of our conversation.
• 12:32
  Um thing that stood out though about his not manifesto was it's not like the type of normal schizophrenic style rambling you normally see from a shooter.
• 12:46
  It was a very well um uh I would say well written but normally written uh thing.
• 12:54
  And it it was basically uh someone who is radicalized by uh MSNBC style propaganda, the kind of stuff that oh King's people post, but never the Trump side.
• 13:06
  It was just sort of he was radicalized by basically mainstream media propaganda.
• 13:10
  And uh, you know, when whenever people talk about right wing radicalization, it's always some obscure blog that like eight people read.
• 13:17
  Well, that's you know, even if we were to accept that that's something that happens, which it really is not, you know, at least it's something that would be buried in the corner of the internet.
• 13:25
  The stuff that's radicalizing the left is basically the default media for most of his country.
• 13:30
  Yeah, you're right.
• 13:31
  And I want to get into the reasons that this is continuing to happen.
• 13:36
  Uh the shooter's manifesto or email, as I like to say, said he wanted to target administration officials.
• 13:42
  He had one long gun, which was a shotgun, doesn't hold many shells, so you question how much damage was going to be done there.
• 13:50
  And then he had a couple of handguns.
• 13:52
  Don't know about the capacity on either one of those.
• 13:54
  Investigators also found extensive anti-Trump, anti Christian rhetoric across social media accounts on him.
• 14:00
  Across social media accounts on him.
• 14:02
  According to reports, Allen's brother alerted New London Police Department after receiving that email and before the incident, but I have heard since that it actually came after the incident.

  Secret Service and Montgomery County Police Department later interviewed his sister.

  Secret Service and Montgomery County Police Department later interviewed his sister.
• 14:19
  Her name is Avriana Allen at her home in Rockville, Maryland.

  Her name is Avriana Allen at her home in Rockville, Maryland.
• 14:24
  And here are some of the key points of that.
• 14:24
  And here are some of the key points of that.
• 14:26
  She said her brother often made radical statements, spoke about
• 14:26
  She said her brother often made radical statements, spoke about doing something to fix today's world.
• 14:32
  She confirmed he bought two handguns and a shotgun from Cap Tactical Arms, and she stood and he stored them at their parents' home without their knowledge.
• 14:42
  He regularly trained with those firearms, and he was reportedly linked to a group called The Wide Awakes.
• 14:50
  And of course, I mentioned earlier he did uh attend a No Kings rally.
• 14:55
  So that is a little bit about what is going on with that.
• 14:58
  He was arraigned on Monday on a couple of charges, and I think they'll probably stack some more on that.
• 15:05
  Let's listen to this compilation of Democrat hatred, and this is why this continues to happen.
• 15:13
  I I I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings all over the country, and maybe there will be.
• 15:18
  People need to start taking to the streets.
• 15:20
  This is a dictator.
• 15:22
  You know, there needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives.
• 15:26
  Enemies of the state.
• 15:28
  Show me where it says that protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful.
• 15:32
  Do something about your dad's immigration practices, you feckless.
• 15:38
  How do you resist the temptation to run up and ring her neck?
• 15:41
  Biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized right off to the right.
• 15:48
  I thought he should have punched him in the face.
• 15:49
  I said, even if he lost, he insulted your wife.
• 15:54
  He said, Well, what do you think I should have done?
• 15:55
  I said, I think you should have punished him in the face and then gotten out of the race.
• 15:57
  He would have been a hero.
• 15:58
  I'd like to punch him in the face.
• 16:00
  I said, if we're in high school, I'd take you behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.
• 16:04
  Punch some people in the face.
• 16:06
  When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?
• 16:10
  They're still gonna have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.
• 16:12
  And that's a fact.
• 16:13
  And that is the Lincoln Project.
• 16:15
  They say they are Republicans, but they're nowhere near Republicans.
• 16:19
  They were founded by they were founded by pedophiles, by the way.
• 16:23
  But that is some of the hate, and you have to look back to the Russian collusion hoax to find the roots in everything that we see.
• 16:33
  Because most of the country, the majority of the country, still believes that that is real because of the very people that were in that room.
• 16:41
  And I put out a post on it on the weekend, and I don't know if you saw it, Matt, but I kind of said that.
• 16:46
  Don't let this get lost on you.
• 16:48
  That these people are the very people that are creating the problem, and they continue to do so.
• 16:55
  Here's exactly what I said.
• 16:57
  I said it shouldn't be lost on anyone that it was a room full of media who for 10 years have stoked the hate, falsely reported, and in some cases irresponsibly promoted violence against Trump that a gunman would have attempted assassination.
• 17:13
  And here's something else.
• 17:14
  CNN was in there.
• 17:16
  Caitlin Collins obviously was there.
• 17:18
  And I found it interesting after it happened, the sanctimonious press inside, and how it was all about them, what they did, hiding under tables, and uh, you know, it was sickening, really.
• 17:30
  But let's listen to Caitlin Collins here from CNN because this is another big part of it.
• 17:36
  Our journalists are no longer journalists when they do things like this.
• 17:41
  I don't know if you saw this, Matt, but here's the story.
• 17:43
  And now we do have Secret Service telling us obviously I want to know this is only one Secret Service member, but a member of security is here telling us that there is a shooter who's confirmed dead, and now we are kind of basically locked inside.
• 17:55
  There is a Secret Service agent that told her there is one confirmed dead.
• 18:01
  Back in the day, Matt, I don't know how many journalism classes you took, but I took a few.
• 18:06
  Not that I'm a journalist because I'm not, but you don't do that until you have the facts.
• 18:12
  It is corroborated with multiple sources or a credible eyewitness.
• 18:16
  You don't do what she just does, and the press has been doing it 15 or 20 years now.
• 18:21
  I think the internet has a lot to do with it.
• 18:23
  They want to be the first with the information, whether it's right or wrong.
• 18:26
  And those types of things is what leads to conspiracy theories when they are so sloppy.
• 18:32
  And that is sloppy journalism.
• 18:34
  That that is a good point you make there because it happens over every single mass public shooting.
• 18:40
  Like, you know, in most mass public shootings, just one shooter.
• 18:43
  But for you know, the victims that are hiding, you know, if you're hearing rapid fire gunfire, and it's not something you hear very often, probably is not, you know, a situation they've ever been in, God forbid.
• 18:55
  But it's very, very common for it to be misreported that there are multiple shooters, and then you know, you find out hours later, there was just one shooter and he was killed.
• 19:05
  But then all these conspiracies start from okay, well, where's the other guy?
• 19:09
  Or why are they hiding the, you know, covering this up, or what are they covering up, and that sort of thing.
• 19:13
  So, yes, and and you know, it's not just like the shoddy recording that creates the conspiracies, or lets them spawn naturally.
• 19:22
  Uh, as you were saying with the Russia hoax.
• 19:23
  Like they do it by design.
• 19:25
  Yeah, uh, most people probably still believe that nonsense.
• 19:28
  They do.
• 19:29
  Whenever there is false reporting, the number of people that see the correction is usually far, far smaller than those that see the misinformation.
• 19:37
  Uh, that the whole very fine people hoax uh was from what the first or second month of Trump's first term.
• 19:43
  That one's still hasn't done yet.
• 19:44
  So, yeah, the these things have become immortal, and uh, yeah, the journalists are gonna make it all about them.
• 19:50
  Uh we're running if you're gonna be if we want to start a conspiracy theory, it would make far more sense if the journalists planted the shooter to make themselves look better.
• 19:58
  We're running a little late, but I'm gonna go a little bit later into the break here because there's one more clip here I think is important to hear within the context of what we're talking about.
• 20:08
  This is one of the co-founders of the Lincoln Foundation.
• 20:12
  It's disturbing.
• 20:14
  Listen to what Steve Schmidt had to say inside the room as this just happened, being interviewed by another member of the media there.
• 20:23
  Not necessarily an interview, but a conversation, and here's that conversation.
• 20:30
  It's a rhetoric problem.
• 20:32
  It's the third time you're trying to kill the president.
• 20:36
  Um person beyond and above all others who's responsible for poisoning the rhetoric in America.
• 20:45
  That guy's name is not saying it's the president's fault to people keep trying to kill him.
• 20:52
  What do you mean by that?
• 20:53
  What do you mean by that?
• 20:55
  What do you mean?
• 20:56
  What do I mean?
• 20:57
  Boys, he's saying I I asked the next people rhetoric problem.
• 21:00
  He said the president that's not more poisoned.
• 21:02
  I mean, the president's workers are the ones who shoot people.
• 21:02
  I mean, presidents are the one who is venomous, man.
• 21:07
  But they keep shooting him.
• 21:07
  But they keep shooting him.
• 21:08
  It's not his on the other way.
• 21:08
  It's not the other way.
• 21:12
  To American citizens.
• 21:15
  They recall domestic terrorists.
• 21:17
  But again, these two have no connection.
• 21:17
  But again, these two kings have no connection.
• 21:21
  He's an insurrectionist, foremost domestic enemy of the Constitution in American history.
• 21:21
  He's an insurrectionist, foremost domestic enemy of the Constitution in American history.
• 21:34
  Convicted sex predator and likely a pedophile.
• 21:39
  And tragically, he's the president of the United States.
• 21:46
  You have a good night.
• 21:47
  Steve Schmidt, he is one of the founders of the Lincoln Project.
• 21:50
  And disgusting, really.
• 21:52
  It's not going to stop.
• 21:54
  I don't know.
• 21:55
  I have no excuse for him.
• 21:58
  Yeah, I have no excuse for the guy.
• 22:00
  He's unlikable.
• 22:01
  And as long as that rhetoric continues, we're going to continue to see things like we saw on Saturday night.
• 22:07
  Hopefully they continue to miss, though.
• 22:09
  We have more.
• 22:11
  The whole blaming Trump for the rhetoric.
• 22:13
  It's it's oh God, how dare Trump make us keep trying to kill him.
• 22:17
  Yeah.
• 22:17
  And then, you know, to what we were saying earlier about how the media basically encourages this kind of thing.
• 22:24
  It is also frustrating when I see, you know, politicians like AOC put out a tweet saying, you know, there's no room for violence.
• 22:33
  I'm happy Trump is okay.
• 22:35
  And it's like, okay, but if we're gonna go by the kind of rhetoric you spread, you basically just wrote very relieved to hear that uh Adolf Hitler was okay tonight.
• 22:45
  Like that that's because that's what you preach to the guy is.
• 22:48
  So, but but then again, if someone tries to kill him, then you're okay that they did it.
• 22:52
  Like you have to be consistent all the way through.
• 22:54
  And these these they definitely are not like they're they're totally trying to encourage this kind of thing, and then act surprised when someone actually does it.
• 23:01
  They're gonna try this again, they're gonna have another dinner, and I guess Donald Trump will go back.
• 23:06
  The speech he gives this time will probably be a lot different.
• 23:09
  I think he even mentioned that.

  America Outloud Dot News is that place to awaken your heart, soul, and mind to the all-house truth.
• 25:29
  Well, the Southern Poverty Law Center got 12 indictments last week.
• 25:35
  We're gonna talk about that now because I think this is an incredible story, and it sort of folds into what we were just talking about.
• 25:42
  Because you mentioned Charlottesville in the quote that you gave with the there were some pretty fine people there.
• 25:47
  There were nice people there on both sides that Donald Trump said, completely out of context.
• 25:52
  But now we find out that SPLC was actually paying the KKK and all of these other organizations.
• 26:00
  And it's weird that they are paying the people and then they are raising money from the people that they are paying.
• 26:07
  It's a racket is exactly what it is.
• 26:09
  There's no other way to describe it.
• 26:10
  Yeah, I mean, there are there were certain heat groups that were on the verge of extinction that they propped up because you know, as my friend Gavin McKinnist puts it, the demand for racism far exceeds the supply.
• 26:22
  You know, whenever you see a story about a hate crime that makes the news, uh, it usually turns out to be like this weird cartoonish uh story that turns out to be false immediately, or or for some reason it's you know, it's the only event that in the modern age has not been captured on video.
• 26:42
  But yeah, the fact of the matter is there's really not all that much racism in the world.
• 26:46
  There was a SPLC employee who shared a story where and actually I think he was he was relatively high up in the organization where he was mapping out hate groups.
• 26:56
  And this was back in 2008, and found basically like uh, you know, it was really like the lowest there had ever been in recent history and had for had presented this data to some of the executives of the SPLC with the attitude of like isn't this awesome?
• 27:12
  Like, you know, we're really making progress fighting racism, and it's the you know, the smallest problem it's ever been.
• 27:18
  And and they responded with hostility to it because they need racial grievances to justify their own existence and to make money and their fundraising skyrocketed after Charlottesville.
• 27:30
  Now, um, we should clarify with Charlottesville.
• 27:32
  They infiltrated the group, and you know, the whole statue protest, I think was a real protest.
• 27:41
  Um, I I think most of the people there were normal people, you know, people who are actually there to protest, but then they put informants in there to try to rile people up to try to encourage them to do stuff, you know.
• 27:53
  Like January 6th would be another example.
• 27:55
  Yeah, I was thinking that, yeah.
• 27:56
  Yeah, there was people there who were protesting a stolen election.
• 27:59
  That was legit.
• 28:00
  Legit.
• 28:00
  Uh, but but who was encouraging people to go into the Capitol?
• 28:00
  Uh but but who is encouraging people to go into the Capitol?
• 28:04
  Well, that was Ray Epps.
• 28:04
  Well, that was Ray Epps.
• 28:05
  So we know he's a federal informant.
• 28:05
  So we know as a federal informant.
• 28:07
  That was Nick Fluentes, who got half a million dollars in Bitcoin sent to him right around that time, and mysteriously never gets charged.
• 28:07
  That was Nick Fluentes, who got half a million dollars in Bitcoin sent to him right around that time, and mysteriously never gets charged.
• 28:16
  Or I'm sorry, I believe he got charged, but then the charges just quietly went away with no explanation whatsoever.
• 28:16
  Or I'm sorry, I believe he got charged, but then the charges just quietly went away with no explanation whatsoever.
• 28:23
  It was a little weird.
• 28:23
  It was a little weird.
• 28:24
  So let's not be honest.
• 28:24
  Let's not be honest.
• 28:24
  Uh let's be honest.
• 28:25
  Let's be honest.
• 28:25
  Yeah.
• 28:25
  Yeah, but it it's that sort of thing.
• 28:26
  But it it's that sort of thing.
• 28:27
  So, you know, it doesn't mean that if you see a right.
• 28:27
  So you know, it doesn't mean that if you see a right organization that has one of these SPLC people, it doesn't mean the whole organization is crooked, but it does mean that they are trying to put more radical elements into them to create headlines.
• 28:41
  And we we saw that in the Unite the Right rally.
• 28:44
  Um, there was a guy named Jason Kessler who they were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars.
• 28:49
  And I recall at the time, people were pointing out like this Jason Kessler guy is organizing for Unite the Right, but he is on the record.
• 29:00
  We know he he he voted for Obama twice.
• 29:03
  He had a black ex-girlfriend, and this is the guy who was getting portrayed as like a white supremacist.
• 29:09
  So obviously it's a inconsistent behavior with that.
• 29:12
  Um then I think he was an occupied Wall Street organizer, but and then suddenly is a far-right guy who's recording uh um recruiting for Unite the Right, and Gavin McKinnis, who we mentioned earlier, uh has that group Proud Boys, and Kessler, Gavin told me was very, very aggressively trying to get him to get the Proud Boys to go to Unite the Right.
• 29:36
  And Gavin was telling him, like, something's just seems off here.
• 29:40
  I I don't know what it is, but I'm not gonna send my guys to this rally.
• 29:43
  Thank God he did it for his own sake, his own sake.
• 29:46
  Um, and then all these years later, nine years later, turns out, yeah, Kessler was getting paid by the SPLC.
• 29:53
  So, you know, we we for a long time have always thought it was like the FBI putting informants in these groups, uh, and the FBI they also do it for more like legit reasons, like trying to gather evidence against the group.
• 30:07
  Except for Michigan, you know, in Michigan when the Whitmer in part, in part, but it's also things like it's also entrapment, yeah.
• 30:15
  Um, but it's also entrapment, it's also um to make them look worse and all that.
• 30:21
  But with the LPLC, and I assume their legal defense is gonna be something along the lines of we're just doing what the FBI does, we want to take these groups down, but I the evidence is going to show it it's quite the opposite.
• 30:33
  They tried their best to keep them alive.
• 30:36
  It is in the SPLC's best interest to have there be as much hate groups uh as possible.
• 30:41
  And then if you go to the SPLC's hate map, which is kind of one of the things that they're known for, it's just like a map of every hate group in America.
• 30:49
  If you actually click through on some of the groups, I I went through them once.
• 30:54
  There will be like a blog with 18 followers that's like a racist blog that gets categorized as a hate group.
• 31:01
  So they they inflate the numbers like crazy.
• 31:03
  Uh, and they they are just an evil organization.
• 31:05
  Yeah, and back when Biden was president, you had FBI director Christopher Ray testify that it was white supremacy and these types of groups that was America's biggest problem.
• 31:16
  And I remember maybe us talking about it.
• 31:18
  Where's that happening?
• 31:20
  I don't see it happening.
• 31:21
  And so do we need to go look at Christopher Ray now for those things?
• 31:25
  Is he trying to help the Southern poverty law in their rhetoric and what they are trying to do to raise money?
• 31:32
  It's interesting.
• 31:33
  I've I wonder about that.
• 31:35
  I mean, our own government has inflated the numbers to that like to try to portray that as the real crisis.
• 31:40
  Um, there was a study that uh I think I looked it up, but I think Corey Booker quoted it where he claimed that uh it was some crazy stat, like you know, white extremists or right-wing extremists or 80% of terrorist attacks or something, and it was sort of government accountability report.
• 31:58
  And I think I've actually quoted this on the show before.
• 32:02
  I you you burst out laughing when you read the report's details because there's an asterisk that says um beginning September 12th, 2001 onward, 80% are from right wing.
• 32:15
  And I'm thinking, wait, September 12th, 2001.
• 32:17
  Very interesting date to start your timeline.
• 32:20
  It's like so if you exclude the worst Islamist attack in American history, it's actually right wingers that are the problem.
• 32:26
  Um, but then when you look also into the individual examples of right-wing extremism, uh, most of it was prison violence.
• 32:34
  You know, a lot of people in prison will join prison gangs and the Aryan Brotherhood.
• 32:38
  Um, I I don't even know if it's necessarily ideological.
• 32:42
  I just know that prisons are largely segregated and people kind of uh join ethnic gangs as protection.
• 32:48
  But almost all the right-wing murders was like a prison fight where uh the guy the air, the you know, the white gang killed a guy from a different gang, but there was not even any evidence that it was ideologically motivated or or out of actual racial hatred as opposed to some other sort of dispute that might arise in prison.
• 33:05
  So they're very desperate to use the statistics, and the fact that they have to do this at all proves there isn't really a right-wing violence problem.
• 33:14
  Um as further evidenced by the fact that we haven't tried to kill other people 20 times in the past week.
• 33:20
  I'm thinking as you're talking, well, if they are successful in their mission, they're out of business.
• 33:26
  So what they do is they hire people to do the things that they're fighting against, and then they stay in business and they tell their donors we need more money, we're making some headway here, but it's still happening.
• 33:38
  Look, it's still happening.
• 33:39
  We need some more help.
• 33:40
  That's what's going on with them.
• 33:41
  Let's go to Iran because the negotiation, Donald Trump called it off over the weekend.
• 33:46
  He said, We're not traveling over there to Pakistan.
• 33:49
  There are no negotiations going on.
• 33:51
  It seems like there probably should have never been any negotiations.
• 33:56
  We have continued to talk about this every week when we're together.
• 33:59
  I talk about it all the time that you can't negotiate with them, they're gonna lie, they're gonna steal, they're gonna cheat in every way.
• 34:05
  There's nothing to negotiate with Iranians, and that's what we see happening.
• 34:10
  Meanwhile, the blockade is working there in the street of Hormuz.
• 34:14
  Not many ships are running through there, but what is happening is Iran is uh they're they're financially in trouble.
• 34:22
  And when this started before it started, before the bombing in the war that is going on in Iran, their their inflation was at 54%.
• 34:31
  We've talked about that before.
• 34:32
  I heard over the weekend it is now 100% on some things.
• 34:36
  So it is starting to hurt the people, which is what is needed if you want a true regime change.
• 34:42
  And the regime is gonna feel this.
• 34:43
  Nobody knows who is in charge.
• 34:45
  We don't know if the gay guy with no legs is in charge or the head of the IRGC is in charge.
• 34:51
  I don't know that Donald Trump and the administration know who is in charge.
• 34:54
  And I don't know if the people in charge even know that they're in charge.
• 34:58
  So I don't know.
• 35:00
  Is that fair?
• 35:00
  Yeah, is that fair?
• 35:00
  I don't know why we're we're even negotiating with them, but I think this blockade is going to work because I have heard within a week to two weeks, Iran is gonna have to cut production, stop production of oil because they have nowhere to put it.
• 35:00
  I don't know why we're we're even negotiating with them, but I think this blockade is going to work because I have heard within a week to two weeks, Iran is going to have to cut production, stop production of oil because they have nowhere to put it.
• 35:14
  The ground tanks are full.
• 35:14
  The ground tanks are full.
• 35:16
  They pulled one old ship taker out of uh retirement.
• 35:16
  They pulled one old ship tanker out of uh retirement.
• 35:20
  They fill they're feeling filling it, and when all of that is done, they're gonna have to stop producing it, or it's gonna go on the ground.
• 35:20
  They fill their feeling filling it, and when all of that is done, they're gonna have to stop producing it, or it's gonna go on the ground.
• 35:27
  And when they shut down an oil rig, it's not very.
• 35:27
  And when they shut down an oil rig, it's not very cheap, not very easy to get it pumping and uh working again.
• 35:34
  So this could be very detrimental to them.
• 35:37
  And I think this blockade is working.
• 35:39
  Now, I want to go to a story that was written by Joseph Epstein over the weekend, and this was in the New York Post.
• 35:46
  This is about Tucker Carlson, and the headline of this is sorry, Israel haters.
• 35:52
  U.S.
• 35:52
  aid pays off big for America, and the numbers don't lie.
• 35:57
  Tucker Carlson is tormented, not by a policy failure, but by a domestic crisis, by the fact he said this week that President Donald Trump backed Israel in a war against Iran.
• 36:10
  It's in line with a grievance.
• 36:12
  The podcaster and former Fox News host has nursed for months.
• 36:17
  He has told his followers that Israel is a completely insignificant country with no resources.
• 36:25
  America gets nothing from the relationship, he said, repeating a theme that echoes throughout the right wing influencer world.
• 36:32
  Three Theo Vaughn is another one, the third biggest podcaster on Spotify.
• 36:37
  He declared on his show, all of our effing money goes to Israel.
• 36:42
  Candace Owens turned such complaints into her brand's growth engine.
• 36:47
  Influences influencers are political adolescents, especially in this era of grift when an emotional statement on a visceral topic can achieve instant fame.
• 37:00
  But here's the thing.
• 37:02
  America spends 3.8 billion dollars with Israel.
• 37:05
  And what Joseph Epstein points out here in this piece is that most of that money, the largest bit of that money is Israel's purchases of our equipment from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics.
• 37:22
  The F 35 program alone, which Israel was the first to use in combat in combat, supports 290,000 American jobs, generates 72 billion dollars in annual economic output, and has produced 175 billion dollar order backlog.
• 37:41
  People are working overtime at good paying jobs from a 3.8 billion dollar investment.
• 37:48
  I understand why people have issues with any sort of foreign aid.
• 37:52
  And you know, I I think if we're gonna get rid of foreign aid, it should, you know, it should be all or nothing with the countries we're currently giving it to.
• 37:59
  But yes, the the rhetoric of we don't have money for our own homeless people or the hungry or X, Y, and Z because of aid to Israel is obviously laughably false.
• 38:10
  I mean, we're a 30 plus trillion dollar economy.
• 38:13
  We our government spends uh you and I were doing a mental math before the show.
• 38:17
  I think it came out to like 15 to 20 billion dollars per day.
• 38:21
  So we're talking about a couple hours of government spending on a single day here.
• 38:25
  Um it's if you're gonna oppose aid to Israel, you know, it should be out of principle of I don't want money going to foreign countries as opposed to oh we we can't we're gonna have no money for ourselves.
• 38:38
  I mean, I think every single state budget in this country is more than you know three billion dollars.
• 38:43
  It's just it's it's both an enormous sum of money, but not a lot of money at all relative to what the you know the the biggest economy in the world spends on an annual basis.
• 38:53
  So um, yeah, it could points there.
• 38:55
  And yes, we at least have the benefit of it being um you know a circular flow and that it's going back to American companies.
• 39:02
  In fact, if you're really gonna make an argument against it, you it should be hey, we're spending this almost four billion dollars subsidizing uh, you know, a big American corporation as opposed to a foreign country that you know has helped us uh quite a bit recently.
• 39:16
  I have one more clip here to play about Iran, and this has to do with secondary sanctions for banking partners of Iran.
• 39:24
  Here is Scott Bassent, Treasury Secretary.
• 39:27
  We are reaching out to banks, including Chinese banks, to remind them of uh that any Iranian goods and the purchases thereof are forbidden, and that the uh the dollars would be sanctioned, and that we will press for secondary sanctions if there's a problem.
• 39:50

  Well, there was a court ruling, Matt, that upheld the earlier uh decision on asylum seekers, and it kind of puts a dent in you know what Donald Trump, the DHS and what the ICE is trying to do.
• 42:00
  Seekers and it kind of puts a dent in what Donald Trump, the DHS and what the ICE is trying to do.
• 42:07
  It's not really going to affect the border, but it may affect other things.

  It's not really going to affect the border, but it may affect other things.

  Did you see that ruling at all?
• 42:11
  Did you see that ruling at all?
• 42:13
  It blocks.

  It blocks was it the one that blocked Trump repealing temporary protection status or something like this?

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