- 0:25Speaker 7: No one that Joe's smile, he only eggs.
- 0:33Speaker 5: Joe here all these truths to be special Saturday edition
- 0:40Growing our friends, w C A p up in Lowell,
- 0:44Long Island, News Radio, my old home at one O
- 0:47three dot nine out there on Long Island, and of
- 0:50course our flagship station here. None in Iowa, all corporate
- 0:54media in Iowa, and proof that Iowa des Moines, Iowa
- 0:58is a big city. None of the stations are independently
- 1:01owned and operated. They're all part of one of those
- 1:04big chains. So one of them owned by George Sorrows.
- 1:07But anyway, I digress. So I don't know what kind
- 1:10of convo you'll have on that in Des Moin, but
- 1:12I want to put a pin in the WTF section
- 1:16of today's program and pivot to the o MG section
- 1:21of the program that not Oh my God, but okeef
- 1:26Media GREU.
- 1:27Speaker 8: Justice Department says that while Trump may not have been
- 1:29present during the crimes that Prager investigated, it is clear that.
- 1:33Speaker 9: Trump is quote protecting a lot of people.
- 1:36Speaker 5: I don't know what's needed that. I have never seen
- 1:39that that he's.
- 1:41Speaker 10: So hesitant to now show what's going on down and
- 1:43they're releasing all the files.
- 1:46Speaker 7: I think he's protecting a lot of other people.
- 1:48Speaker 1: He's not protecting himself because.
- 1:49Speaker 5: There's nothing there.
- 1:50Speaker 1: But he's protecting a lot of people.
- 1:52Speaker 5: So that's a Glenn Prager, member of the Department of
- 1:56Justice investigator into the Epstein documents. He goes on later
- 2:01to tell the O'Keefe media group reporter after their flight
- 2:08two together, let's not talking about it.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Soon come out that he was a CIA wasn't.
- 2:16Speaker 11: I think he's protecting a lot of other people.
- 2:18Speaker 2: He's not protecting himself because there's nothing.
- 2:19Speaker 5: There, meaning Trump, he is a CIA informant. And I
- 2:27went back over the all the stuff we've talked about
- 2:30Jeffrey Epstein. Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein that creep. Yes,
- 2:35yes to a degree, we are. And it has to
- 2:38do with those other three letters, you know, W C, TF, O, MG, CIA,
- 2:47and I don't blame the CIA for doing this anymore
- 2:52than I blame a firearm for a shooting or TikTok
- 2:57for people's bad behavior on TikTok, because we're the ones
- 3:06who are doing these things. We're the creeps and cretns
- 3:11who get onto a plane with underage girls and fly
- 3:16to faraway islands to engage in whatnot. So I'm not
- 3:24going to give a haul pass to someone because it
- 3:26was a CIA op. If you're going to hand people
- 3:32the ability to manipulate you, then I'm wow, what did
- 3:38the what did the illegal immigrants school superintendent call his book?
- 3:42Radical empathy? You'll have to get some really radical empathy
- 3:49for me to feel sorry for somebody because they said, Oh,
- 3:52that sounds like a great weekend getaway. Now, what are
- 3:56the conditions of the op? Did people know what the
- 3:59getaway was or did they just think it was a
- 4:02Then they got on the plane and the door shut
- 4:04and like, hey, these look like a reasonable question. As
- 4:09the documents continue to come out, most recent Elon Musk,
- 4:16Bill Gates, Peter Teal, Steve Bannon, all part of the
- 4:21documents pushed Friday from the Daily Schedules of Jeffrey Epstein's office,
- 4:29so his schedule. His day planner includes mentions of Elon Musk,
- 4:34Bill Gates, Peter Teal, Steve Bannon on scheduling notes. There
- 4:41Democrats serving on the House Oversight Committee subpoened the pages.
- 4:46Published these pages from a tranch of documents, and again
- 4:49to all those who say, well, Trump this if the
- 4:55Democrats and the House Oversight Committee in September twenty sixth
- 4:59of twenty twenty five release a bunch of documents, you
- 5:02don't think they would release the ones that say Donald J.
- 5:05Trump on them. Other first things this morning, the President
- 5:11on Long Island this morning to enjoy the Ryder Cup
- 5:14and hoping that the US team does better. Cash Ptel
- 5:19says declassified FBI documents showed that former FBI Chief James
- 5:24Comey made false statements under oath to Congress. The documents
- 5:30had been ready to go, but US Attorney for the
- 5:33Eastern District of Virginia, Eric Sebert, had been slow walking
- 5:38the charges. President Trump's administration has asked the Supreme Court
- 5:43to review the constitutionality of the executive order to end
- 5:47birthright citizenship. Iranian President Masud Prajikin warned Friday that President
- 5:55Trump is in risk of burning the planet down in
- 5:59his actions over Iran, and those are some of our
- 6:02Saturday First Things.
- 6:07Speaker 12: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and

- 10:04Speaker 2: I'm not only in awe of.
- 10:05Speaker 4: Their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
- 10:08Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
- 10:11or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
- 10:14or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 10:35us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 10:37whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 10:41when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
- 10:43have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
- 10:46society and help those in need. So please join me

- 13:11Speaker 1: Quickly the first thing today on the Talk Media Network
- 13:15by Joe Thomas.
- 13:22Speaker 5: It's unconfirmed whether that's audio recordings released by Democrats in
- 13:27the House Oversight Committee of Gallaine Maxwell or not, but
- 13:32that's that's uh.
- 13:33Speaker 10: It's out there for you at four three four eight
- 13:36eight two four two one seven video again Gonzo Journalism,
- 13:41O'Keeffe media group and sitting down on an airplane with
- 13:45an FBI agent.
- 13:47Speaker 5: And at some point there's a sidebar to this. At
- 13:50some point, if you're an FBI investigator and somebody just
- 13:53sits down on a plane with you and starts chit
- 13:55chatting and starts to telling you you worked on the
- 13:58Epstein Investigator. Why do you tell somebody that, Well, I know,
- 14:04we're all we all have our vices, and we all
- 14:06have our pecadilos, and we all have our weak spots.
- 14:11But this isn't like Double O seven sat down next
- 14:14to you. Some girl working for O'Keefe media group sat
- 14:17down next to this guy on a flight from one
- 14:21place to another. I forget where they were flying to
- 14:24and just start chit chatting. Her phone was recording. I'm
- 14:29sure at some point you know that she had been
- 14:32prepped as to who this guy was. There's a lot
- 14:37of work to get a seat right next to the
- 14:39guy you want to target on a flight. So there's
- 14:43some things in here that make me go hmm, especially
- 14:47when it comes out and says says to some strange woman,
- 14:51well yeah, it's a ci. It's like it'll come out soon,
- 14:54which is, by the way, the exact same thing the
- 14:56Republicans on the House Oversight Committee James Comer said, we'll
- 15:00be releasing all the documents soon. Oh well, okay, we'll
- 15:04stay tuned for soon. Is that is that on Wednesday?
- 15:08Or what is what day? Of the week is soon.
- 15:11But I digress I progress and all the other gresses
- 15:16that can be out there in the memory of my
- 15:18dear late friend John Gress. I opened the phones at
- 15:20four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 15:24Doctor Clark's hanging on the line in Alabama. Good morning, Clark.
- 15:27How are you doing, sir?
- 15:29Speaker 18: It's a foggy morning in Alabama, Joe.
- 15:32Speaker 5: I've heard, I've heard that that's gripping a lot of
- 15:35the South right now, there's a lot of Did you
- 15:37ever rain before that?
- 15:40Speaker 14: Yeah?
- 15:40Speaker 18: Rained Thursday, heavy rains. So hey, that was nice cause
- 15:45we were in a drought.
- 15:46Speaker 5: Probably still are, at least according to the government. So
- 15:50what's on your mind?
- 15:51Speaker 18: Well, a couple of things. One, I've got an update
- 15:55on the talentol thing.
- 15:58Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, do you mean the two women who are well,
- 16:01one woman is dead and another one is apparently lost
- 16:05all liver function after deciding that going on TikTok and
- 16:10consuming an entire bottle of tail and All will really
- 16:13show RFK Junior up is that the update?
- 16:18Speaker 18: No, I've got leftist experts that are saying that pregnant
- 16:22women should only take taler all due to the concerns
- 16:26right now should only take Tyler all in the morning
- 16:32after heavy bouts of drinking the night before.
- 16:36Speaker 5: All right, all right, dude, you gotta for the hangover.
- 16:38Speaker 18: But otherwise let's hang on and see what happened.
- 16:42Speaker 5: And only only after lighting your first parliament the ultra Uh.
- 16:48You got to warn me though I had I had
- 16:52a mouthful of first free in the morning coffee when
- 16:55you said that. You got to warn me all over
- 17:00the studio.
- 17:02Speaker 18: You got doctor Clark to be ready for the start.
- 17:06So all right, let's do this fantasy Pedophile Island thing
- 17:11for just a minute now. In the first place, the
- 17:16whole release, the client list is so much slight of
- 17:21hand smoking mirror's show.
- 17:23Speaker 5: Oh yeah, cunning linguists choosing the words they use very carefully.
- 17:28Speaker 18: Well, all right, look, they want me to be all
- 17:32twisted about getting to know who got to enjoy trips
- 17:37to Pedophile Fantasy Island, which I would like to know,
- 17:41but that's not my burning question, Joe, I would like
- 17:46to know which agencies, bureaus and departments were Epstein's actual clients,
- 17:55because the people going to Pedophile Fantasy Island were marked.
- 18:02They were targets brought there so dirt could be gotten
- 18:06on them, so influence could be exerted.
- 18:10Speaker 5: Now, well, the video that OMG o'keef's people just put out,
- 18:15the guy's saying he was CIA.
- 18:19Speaker 18: Well, I'm not going to accuse any specific intelligent agency
- 18:25or Bureau of Investigation or Justice Department, but uh, I
- 18:33kind of got a wonder And then you have to
- 18:35wonder what was achieved because they were able to exert
- 18:42that influence that otherwise would not have been achieved. What
- 18:47things changed in our world because they were able to
- 18:51start someone into doing something?
- 18:54Speaker 7: Mmm?
- 18:55Speaker 5: You know what decisions? What funding streams?
- 18:57Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:58Speaker 5: What what bills were passed?
- 19:01Speaker 18: Yes, those are the bigger questions, Joe.
- 19:05Speaker 5: No, I understand, and it goes back into you know,
- 19:09approving a negative too.
- 19:12Speaker 18: I know, as long as they can keep us twisted,
- 19:15but you won't tell us he was going to ped
- 19:18file Fantasy Island, then we're not asking the bigger questions.
- 19:23Speaker 5: Let's think about it this way.
- 19:26Speaker 18: Jeffrey Epstein was blackmailing millionaires, billionaires and high level politicians.
- 19:36When did he suicide himself?
- 19:39Speaker 5: Uh, twenty two or twenty three? Where was he in prison?
- 19:47Speaker 18: Was he in position to be whackmailing anybody? When that happened. No,
- 19:52he was in a position to talk and expose agencies,
- 19:56bureaus and departments. Right, that's when he suicide himself, not
- 20:02when he would have been extorting anyone. Now, Joe, I'm sorry,
- 20:06but if I'm a billionaire and you threatened me with extortion,
- 20:14a billion dollars is a thousand million dollars, Joe, I'm
- 20:21thinking for one thousandth of a billion dollars a million bucks,
- 20:27I could get a lot of threats taken care of.
- 20:31Speaker 5: You know, it doesn't spend like it used to. I mean,
- 20:33infleetion has eaten into that million dollars. But I mean,
- 20:37if you're a security guard at a New York City jail,
- 20:40maybe it's a little bit. But it's expensive to live
- 20:43in New York, even northern New Jersey and Long Island. Yeah,
- 20:46I mean I don't think. I don't think a million
- 20:48dollars is worth, you know, as much as it used
- 20:50to be. No, it's not.
- 20:52Speaker 18: But here's the thing. So, if little Jeffrey in his
- 20:58fur friend's funky coat comes and threatens me, that's one thing.
- 21:03But if an agency, bureau, or department comes and exerts
- 21:07pressure on me, hmm, that's a little bit more difficult
- 21:11to get that threat eliminated. Yeah, you know, the notion
- 21:17that Epstein was directly extorting, blackmailing, I just don't think so.
- 21:24He was gathering stuff and then passing it on to somebody.
- 21:28Speaker 5: Else that used it. It's quite possible to me, well,
- 21:32especially if he was a CIA mole or or gopher
- 21:37or you know, or whatever, any specific gack you say, Farman,
- 21:43but he you know, Gerbil and somebody's you know, never mind.
- 21:47So but I've got the news here, doctor Clarke. Even
- 21:49on Saturday. People got to know what's going on. Good questions.
- 21:53My friend last thought, Joe ten seconds.
- 21:56Speaker 18: If Tyler Robinson's dad was a committed leftist, would we
- 22:00know who he is?
- 22:01Speaker 11: In a study, it was found that thirty three percent
- 22:04of forty four herbal supplements had no trace of the
- 22:08advertised herb. Don't let that happen to you, Hi, this

- 23:10Speaker 6: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
- 23:14is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
- 23:16owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
- 23:20That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
- 23:23the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
- 23:26premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
- 23:29is not just due to the octane rating. There are
- 23:31better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
- 23:35The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
- 23:37with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
- 23:40their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
- 23:43your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
- 23:46may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
- 23:50are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
- 23:53Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them
- 23:55anytime soon with your automotive prescription. I'm ronin aany in
- 23:58the car doctor, see you in next time.

- 28:56would somebody going to an island full of underage girls
- 29:00be important to an intelligence operation? An operation whose charter

- 29:14text message four three four eight eight two four two
- 29:17one seven. Might it not be decisions that they made,
- 29:22but efforts that they undertook on behalf of the US government. Joe,
- 29:33that's a fair point. It might not have been to
- 29:35gain leverage oncted officials like Bill Clinton. It might have
- 29:41been to co opt new agents. Listen, you're gonna go

- 30:04or both New Jersey and Virginia are both former Intel
- 30:09case workers, one for the Navy, one for CIA. And
- 30:16let's not even get into the fact that her ethics
- 30:19are questionable there in New Jersey. And I told you
- 30:22this story quickly. Let me finish some of the reactions
- 30:27to the O'Keefe story. So Kareem writes in I've said
- 30:33this before, Joe, FBI or secret police. If they weren't,
- 30:36they would have a roster page like our favorite sports
- 30:39teams or city hall administration FBI and CIA with several
- 30:43other agencies need to be drained and drained or excised.
- 30:49Million dollars ain't what it used to be. Well, come on, kareem,
- 30:53look at inflation. I mean, that's like a couple one
- 30:55hundred thousand now And the only problem is you can't
- 31:02fit it all into one briefcase. And then he accuses
- 31:06me of sounding like Bernie. Now you tell me about this.
- 31:09Where was I sounding like Bernie Sanders? That Bernie Sanders
- 31:14just after all the book sales, but before he bought
- 31:17the lake House. So is anything we just talked about
- 31:20sounded like Bernie Sanders? I mean, I mean, if you
- 31:23want to, I can do a well it's actually a
- 31:27much more credible Jackie Mason. But what passes as my
- 31:31Bernie Sanders as well or the artwork you choose. We'll
- 31:39get into the CTE story in a little bit. Joel
- 31:43in the Research Department, First Things Today, August tenth, twenty nineteen,
- 31:49Epstein's suicide has it?
- 31:50Speaker 14: Was it?
- 31:50Speaker 13: Really?
- 31:51Speaker 5: I was starting to conceptualize it being that long ago,
- 31:53six years. You know, you know, the jail security just
- 31:59ain't what it used to be, you know, so much better,
- 32:06so onwards to this story, and I'm waiting for it.
- 32:10I've filed a story for Daily Signal dot com on
- 32:14the collapse, the colossal collapse, long before. And it is
- 32:18the interesting thing in the two gubernatorial races that always
- 32:23garner attention because they follow a presidential election immediately New
- 32:28Jersey Virginia, and Virginia gets a little bit more run
- 32:33than New Jersey does, just simply because New York reporters
- 32:37really don't want to go into New Jersey. Washington d
- 32:41C reporters live in Virginia, but President Trump has kept
- 32:46them so busy that they've not really been able to
- 32:50devote the kind of coverage that they normally do to
- 32:53these gubernatorial races, and so they've flown under the radar.
- 33:00The Virginia race is closer than it was in twenty
- 33:03twenty one, and the Democrat just said, use your rage
- 33:10as fuel. I presume that that's a renewable source of energy.
- 33:19This in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
- 33:21I just watched three thousand people gather at Virginia Tech
- 33:25University to hear from our governor, of all people, who apparently,
- 33:32now I'm told, is actually going out on tour with
- 33:37these Turning Point USA events and is going to take
- 33:40some turns sitting in for Charlie Kirk in the hot seat.
- 33:46Speaker 7: In the.
- 33:48Speaker 5: I mean, I know he was a businessman before and
- 33:51there's questions as to what his political future is. But
- 33:54that that to me is just asking people. Tell me
- 33:57all the time, Joe, we know you're never going to
- 33:59run for anything because all the crazy ass stuff that
- 34:01you say on the radio will be dragged back out,
- 34:04parsed and used against you. God bless Governor Youngkin is
- 34:11one of them. Jeffshow, there's a couple of folks who
- 34:20are going to do a rotation in the hot seat
- 34:22in the Proved Me wrong events. But it was three
- 34:26thousand people gather at the Turning Point USA event at
- 34:30Virginia Tech. And then there was a poll done September
- 34:35twenty second through the twenty third in New Jersey. Now,
- 34:40New Jersey has been a race that most people haven't
- 34:42paid any attention to when Jack Chattarelli has suffered the
- 34:45same ignominity that Winsome Earl Sears has. That nobody has
- 34:49given them any money because every poll they read says
- 34:54that they're down by twenty points fifteen points has been
- 35:00closer to Spanburger than CHATTERRELLI has been to Cheryl. And
- 35:07this all this poll and the reason I give you
- 35:09the dates of when the poll was done, this is
- 35:11before Thursday's leaked Army report that shows that she violated
- 35:18her code of ethics during a cheating scandal at the
- 35:22Naval Academy. And she didn't cheat, but she violated her
- 35:27ethics oh by not telling anyone about the cheating she
- 35:31was aware of, so did her husband. And you can say, wow, Joe,
- 35:36that's that's a process crime, and is it? Think about it?
- 35:40So if you if you know somebody is breaking the
- 35:42rules and you don't say anything about it for the
- 35:48political or career aspirations you might have. Isn't that kind
- 35:54of what Jeffrey Epstein was working on if he was
- 35:57a CIA plant.
- 35:59Speaker 10: Tool mole Gerbil.
- 36:06Speaker 5: Wasn't that exactly what they were trying to do is
- 36:09to find places where you'll violate your ethics and then
- 36:13they got you. But before that, all that ethics stuff
- 36:18came out a couple of days ago, this poll was
- 36:20taken and a race that had been twenty points, and
- 36:24it was a pretty stable at twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen.
- 36:29It's now a flat footed tie. This was Emerson College.
- 36:33This is not ras Musen or some other right wing
- 36:37polling service. This is Emerson College forty three forty three
- 36:43with eleven percent undecided. And I was looking into the
- 36:47numbers in this race. CHATTERRELLI still only gets about eighteen
- 36:51percent of the twenty to thirty four year olds. The
- 36:57Charlie kirkkrown what happens when all these Turning Point USA
- 37:03chapters start popping up at Rutgers University and all these
- 37:09kids who have been afraid to say something have decided.
- 37:11You know what, I've had alls I can stand and
- 37:15I can't stand no more. I think New Jersey at
- 37:22very least is on the way to a huge upset.
- 37:25I think Chatterrelly wins this unless he royally screws up,
- 37:30which is, you know, in the next month and a
- 37:33half is quite possible. Republicans love to rest defeat from
- 37:38the jaws of victory, don't they. I think he could
- 37:41go on to a five or ten point win, and
- 37:44I think Sears can do the same thing if they
- 37:47continue to go out and find these Charlie Kirk supporters
- 37:51who had been keeping quiet who have now realized that
- 37:55quiescence is to their detriment and to their demi lies.
- 38:01Speaker 22: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
- 38:05and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
- 38:09the police. At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
- 38:13protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
- 38:17create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of

- 44:41Speaker 5: But they still do the laser light show at the
- 44:43Vanderbilt Museum. Four three four eight A two four two
- 44:48one seven A couple of reactions on the story of
- 44:52the school superintendent from Des Moines, Iowa, who has been
- 44:56an illegal resident of this country non documented criminal since
- 45:04the early two thousands that questions should have been raised
- 45:16in twenty twenty two when he was arrested in Erie,
- 45:19Pennsylvania on a illegal possession of a firearm hamp On
- 45:26the Treasure Coast rights In federal perjury. The most common
- 45:30penalty for a federal perjury conviction is a prison sentence
- 45:34of up to five years, along with fines. The maximum
- 45:37fine is typically two hundred and fifty thousand dollars for
- 45:41an individual or five hundred thousand dollars for an organization,
- 45:47although the actual amount twenty twenty was his first interaction
- 45:55with law enforcement. This school superintendent in Iowa that led
- 46:01police on a high speed chase yesterday and then ran
- 46:04off into the woods rather than be arrested because he
- 46:07was not a citizen, achieved four postgraduate degrees. It's worked
- 46:15in multiple school divisions across many states that shouldn't admit
- 46:18a red flag at all, and then was hired as
- 46:22the des Moines, Iowa school superintendent twenty twenty. Hamp Rights
- 46:28and Roberts entered the United States in nineteen ninety nine.
- 46:31Student visa was given final order of removal by an
- 46:36immigration judge in May of twenty twenty four. So even
- 46:41under the Biden administration, they sent this guy an order
- 46:45of removal and I go bay. This isn't an unaccomplished
- 46:54person This isn't somebody without intellect or you know, an
- 46:58ability to do for themselves? What And I know that
- 47:03our show today has been brought to you by the
- 47:05acronyms WTF and OMG, But what about why? It's an
- 47:12under arching three letters, isn't it. Why would the CIA
- 47:19run the Jeffrey Epstein operation? Why would this school superintendent
- 47:27insist on continuing to educate our kids without telling anyone
- 47:31that he was a guy inn and national? What is
- 47:39it that happened in his first twenty six years of
- 47:41life before he emigrated to the United States that he's
- 47:51not telling us, doesn't want to tell us. He's probably
- 47:54going to have to tell us now.
- 47:59Speaker 19: Why?
- 48:00Speaker 5: Because that's the under arching thing in both of these stories,
- 48:03is why. And we talked with a fella yesterday, Amon
- 48:08Roberts from the National for the Texas Public Policy Foundation
- 48:14on borders and citizenship, just hours before this guy took
- 48:21it on the hoof and started running, and the things
- 48:27that we watched, the saber rattling of these these non
- 48:38citizens and Mexican nationals in southeastern United States, concerns over
- 48:43whether they're just going to decide there's a lot of
- 48:46Mexicans here. It's just Mexico now, and they're pretty well
- 48:49armed down there, perhaps even more so than Masade. If
- 48:53they were going to choose to invade southeastern American he said, no,
- 48:57you're one.
- 48:58Speaker 15: Hundred percent correct. So Scheenbaum actually came out and and
- 49:02stated that the Mexican citizens or Mexican nationals needs to
- 49:06rise up and counter Ice, and that would be millions
- 49:11inside the United States. And and so once again, it's
- 49:15a direct attack on the sovereignty of our own nation,
- 49:18in the sovereignty of each individual state. For a leader
- 49:22of a foreign nation to tell her previous citizens or
- 49:27now still citizens and residents of the United States to
- 49:30rise up against the nation that they are currently living in,
- 49:34it's unprecedented. And you're one hundred percent correct. Russia made
- 49:37that claim that when they went in and invaded Crimea,
- 49:41that exact same claim, and so Scheinbaum has already made
- 49:45that statement to rise up against them. That's why you're
- 49:49seeing You.
- 49:50Speaker 5: Saw those.
- 49:52Speaker 15: Those pictures in those videos of h while they were
- 49:57in the streets of La attacking uh the National Guard
- 50:01advice raised in the Mexican flag. It was at that
- 50:04same time period that Shindaan came out and said to
- 50:07to rise up. And so unfortunately we do have that.
- 50:10We we we just finished the US Mexico Policy UH
- 50:15summit there in d C just two days ago, where
- 50:19we actually had a senator from Mexico come into d
- 50:23C and and gave and she gave a keynote speech
- 50:28saying that Mexico is not an ally of the United States,
- 50:32and she's coming in from as a senator from Mexico
- 50:37pleading with the American government to finally recognize Mexico for
- 50:42what it is. And also the Mexican cartels yea, and
