  And uh so you see a lot of this political violence happening, right?
• 1:41
  Uh you see what just happened at the correspondence affair and all of that.
• 1:45
  Uh it's becoming a little too common and and uh too usual.
• 1:48
  Well, you see it a lot of the headlines as well, and the New York Times had a very interesting one.
• 1:53
  Uh an age of violence, uh question mark.
• 1:56
  And the the questions really are is political violence worse now than before.
• 2:01
  And what does that tell us about the country right now in the division?
• 2:05
  And of course, we're in a very unusual time with what's going on in the world.
• 2:08
  Edward Huglin is here.
• 2:10
  He's a retired federal senior executive and U.S.
• 2:12
  Air Force veteran, worked in the intelligence community, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Energy in the state.

  And he is just a great voice for these times here.
• 2:21
  And and the cognitive war is really the the big book he's got out.
• 2:25
  And also it's it's uh it's something he uh works hard at putting that out there, the bringing people aware of that problem.
• 2:31
  Uh so thrilled to have on here.
• 2:34
  Blanquita Cullum is here.
• 2:35
  Haven't talked in a while with her, and she uh served as a Senate confirmed governor on the United States broadcasting board of governors.
• 2:43
  She has a great uh backdrop of her career, by the way.
• 2:47
  In that capacity, she served as chairman of the committee on Radio Free Europe, Radio Free Asia, Radio and Television, Marty and the Middle East Broadcast Network.
• 2:55
  She's really been got some things done.

  Uh it's terrific.
• 2:58
  Blanquita is uh terrific to have you.
• 3:00
  And round it now, Patricia Antone is a political analyst, activist, and a brilliant writer here on the platform.
• 3:07
  And she's got a piece I'll tell you about a little bit after here, but it's a good one.
• 3:11
  Uh gets into a little bit of Mondami.
• 3:13
  The big apple's got a voracious and toxic worm called Mandami's great image on that one.
• 3:18
  Go check it out at AmericaRoboud.news.
• 3:21
  Want to talk about the age of violence and start this off here.
• 3:24
  And uh this first one, Ed, I want to open it up with you here.
• 3:27
  The question that the the New York Times now puts out there, is political violence worse now?
• 3:32
  Now, let me, before we answer that question here, and I think most people would quickly say, Yes, this is horrible.
• 3:38
  Yes, we've never seen anything like it.
• 3:39
  Yes, we're going right over the edge.
• 3:41
  And and I see that in a lot of uh uh uh uh uh a lot of walks of life.
• 3:46
  When things get complicated here, we sort of think this is the worst ever, man.
• 3:50
  You know, it's like like election fraud, all of that.
• 3:52
  We talk a lot about a lot of it here.
• 3:54
  Here's what the New York Times says, Ed.
• 3:56
  If we are looking at the period from 1865 to 1901, three of the nine presidents were assassinated.
• 4:04
  A comparable rate today would mean that we would have lost two of the three sitting presidents since the late 1980s.
• 4:09
  It's also the case in the 60s and 70s.
• 4:13
  There were the assassinations of uh Martin Luther King Jr., John F.
• 4:16
  Kennedy, and Robert Kennedy, and days with multiple bombings by radical domestic groups.
• 4:22
  That's just not what we've seen in the last two decades.
• 4:25
  Now, this is what the Times points out.
• 4:27
  Interesting.
• 4:28
  Usually they take the other approach and scare the hell out of people.
• 4:31
  Uh so if you put that in the context now and answer that question, is political violence worse now?
• 4:36
  What do you see, buddy?
• 4:38
  Well, first of all, I think the gray old lady's dead and died for some time ago.
• 4:43
  But I don't think it's anything worse.
• 4:46
  But one thing that people should know about both those periods of time is what were who conducted the majority of those assassinations?
• 4:54
  There were left-wing zealots and and members of the left wing, which today uh the Democrats seem to want to incentivize to continue their killing story into the nineties and and twenties and and further.
• 5:08
  So I don't think it's gotten uh any worse than it was before.
• 5:13
  But for the last decade now, people must remember from the summer of love and everything else that the the anarchy, the murders, the assaults, the arsons.
• 5:22
  Okay.
• 5:22
  This is also come from the the left.
• 5:25
  So uh I do think it's gonna get worse, though.
• 5:28
  And I've written in my book and also articles that you publish on America Out Loud.
• 5:33
  It is been getting worse.
• 5:34
  And the reason why is because the Democrats have got tossed out of power.
• 5:39
  But now they see their pathway back to power is through a blood revolution in my mind.
• 5:45
  Wow.
• 5:45
  Wow.
• 5:46
  That uh and and uh Ed has a very interesting um uh uh essay I'm gonna tell you all about in a little bit that backs up what he says right there.
• 5:54
  Uh uh, and that could be the difference here.
• 5:55
  I don't know.
• 5:56
  Uh Blanquita, Blanquita Cullum, in this age of violence we're talking about.
• 6:00
  Let's get an opening comment from you.
• 6:01
  But let me read this again, uh, this other little piece here from the Times in that same piece about this age of violence.
• 6:08
  They say we're living in what can feel like a scary, chaotic moment.
• 6:12
  There have been three attempts on Donald Trump's life, not counting plots disrupted before they got far enough for an attack.
• 6:19
  Interesting.
• 6:20
  Last year, gunman killed uh Charlie Kirk, uh, the right-wing activist, and Melissa Hortman, a Democratic state legislator in Minnesota.
• 6:28
  One man firebombed the Pennsylvania governor's house, another broke into Nancy Pelosi's home and attacked her husband with a hammer.
• 6:34
  Has the United States entered a new phase of violent extremism?
• 6:38
  So again, in this in this age of violence they're speaking about here, and you look historically at our country, uh we s sometimes forget, Blanquita, that this freedom always has had to been fight fought for.
• 6:50
  We this doesn't come easy here.
• 6:52
  It never has in 250 years.
• 6:54
  We always think the sky is fallen because it's our life, it's our turn turn to live, and we are seeing things for the first time in our lives.
• 7:00
  Seeing things for the first time in our lives.
• 7:01
  So it seems like, oh my god, the sky is fallen.
• 7:01
  So it seems like, oh my God, the sky is fallen.
• 7:03
  Things are crazy.
• 7:03
  Things are crazy.
• 7:04
  Last election we're ever going to have is the next one blanket.
• 7:04
  Last election we're ever going to have is the next one, Blanquita.
• 7:06
  But I don't know.
• 7:06
  But I don't know.
• 7:07
  Is it really that way?
• 7:07
  Is it really that way?
• 7:08
  Well, we have to look at it in a much deeper level.
• 7:08
  Well, we have to look at it in a much deeper level.
• 7:11
  You see, we're looking at it and fighting it the old way.
• 7:11
  You see, we're looking at it and fighting it the old way.
• 7:14
  You know, there was a billboard in San Antonio from a very uh tough uh attorney.
• 7:14
  You know, there was a billboard in San Antonio from a very uh tough uh attorney.
• 7:20
  He said winning's not everything, it's learning how to fight.
• 7:20
  He said winning's not everything, it's learning how to fight.
• 7:23
  And part of that means when we're looking at the old ways they used to protest, whether it was Vietnam or whatever, certainly there was a lot of uh paid protesters.
• 7:23
  And part of that means when we're looking at the old ways they used to protest, whether it was Vietnam or whatever.
• 7:33
  That's kind of that's kind of historical, it continues now more than ever is that people that want to tear down the country.
• 7:39
  But the thing of it is that we're dealing with it's different.
• 7:42
  They're infiltrating schools, they're trying to control agenda, they're infiltrating workplaces, they're trying to control the way that people look at each other as colleagues.
• 7:52
  They're trying to control the way that we assemble or we don't assemble, who gets the right to speak and who doesn't get the right to speak.
• 7:58
  And as someone says something we don't like, how do we paint them?
• 8:02
  We also have the addition that we didn't have during the world world um Vietnam War of the of the multimedia of and and that is much more uh powerful.
• 8:13
  Yep.
• 8:14
  That's where my mind was going when you were talking right there, Blanc Peter.
• 8:17
  That's the that's the game.
• 8:18
  That's the what's changing the game this time, isn't it?
• 8:21
  It is, and a funny, a funny slogan came out for people that really can that are upset about guns, they sure do use them a lot.
• 8:29
  And um the thing that bothers me is you know, in my career, I have MC inaugurals.
• 8:35
  I have participated at the uh, you know, those uh events of the White House correspondents dinners over the years when they've been really controversial, like when Don I miss spoke.
• 8:45
  But that is a very complex place to keep safe.
• 8:49
  There are many ways to open and get gain entry into that hotel.
• 8:54
  Hopefully now they'll reconsider when they have events of this nature that could compromise the uh security of any president regarding a which regarding uh which side of the aisle that he is on or she is on, uh, we got to make it better.
• 9:09
  Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
• 9:11
  Thanks for saying that.
• 9:12
  Uh violence of any kind uh doesn't work for either side.
• 9:15
  Uh it's not American, it's un-American for sure.
• 9:18
  And so finishing out that piece here about the times, I want to say this, Patricia, uh, get your opening remarks.
• 9:25
  What does that tell us about the country now?
• 9:27
  Is the question mark the times puts in that piece?
• 9:31
  Well, I think that we've we've mainstreamed the whole the whole uh violent activism idea.
• 9:36
  And that I think is the difference between the period that they're citing in the article and and where we are at right now.
• 9:42
  We have several generations now of people who have been raised as activists with the purpose to uh to be activists.
• 9:51
  And uh so I I think that the left has has basically harnessed and cultivated the weaponized envy.
• 9:59
  So to to become class envy, and having done that, um you know that they uh they are able that that's what community organizing is.
• 10:09
  It's organizing class envies and then deploying that as a weaponized thing.
• 10:15
  So if I say, if I say from this piece here now, history tells us that isolated incidents of political violence, even the assassination of elected officials or presidents, do not lead to the end of the republic, is how the times ends that.
• 10:31
  Um you agree or you don't agree with that.
• 10:34
  Actually, I agree with that, because if it were just isolated insults, if it was atomized portions of the population per pursuing this craziness, then yeah, you know, you can you can contain and control that, and it doesn't reflect the entire society.
• 10:48
  What's dangerous about what's happening now is that it is reflective of what's happening with half of the nation.
• 10:57
  I mean, half of the the left side of the country is violent.
• 11:01
  I mean, that is their nature now.
• 11:03
  Right, right.
• 11:04
  Well, it but but again, from the history, it looks like they've always used a lot of these tactics.
• 11:08
  The thing that's different this time, uh Blanquita pointed out very effectively, is the media.
• 11:12
  Uh, this has changed it drastically, as well as the fact that to in today's world, it's pretty sure that Americans realize we do not have a fourth estate anymore.
• 11:21
  Uh that box cannot be checked.
• 11:23
  Uh, I mean, that's a good thing.
• 11:24
  How come control?
• 11:25
  The other part of that is this.
• 11:26
  Yeah.
• 11:27
  We don't really, you know, we can we are upset about what goes on at the border, but yeah, we won't go to the Darien Pass and ask the question why 10,000 Chinese young men were dropped off and paid for by China.
• 11:39
  We don't ask the question of why they were considering building a second Panama Canal in Nigeria or Nicaragua, but in that area, and why uh we just discovered even in places like Texas, uh, these different homes that had Chinese babies that were uh like uh they were regular homes they discovered that had so many young babies that were there that these women were brought in, had babies so their babies could become American citizens.
• 12:08
  You know, it's not that people are, I would say the majority of people, they love uh uh other countries and people from other countries.
• 12:15
  My own mother was a Mexican citizen.
• 12:17
  She stayed a Mexican citizen, but we don't like thugs, we don't like cartels, we don't like drug dealers, and we don't like people that exercise a lot of power in human trafficking, and we have to find out who's who's paying for this.
• 12:31
  Right, right.
• 12:31
  Well, what happens with the left on a lot of these arguments and the things you put out there right now is they use race.
• 12:37
  They use race, and uh, and that's how they use it in a lot of these arguments to to uh uh uh try to divide the people and and empower that conversation, create a fear base.
• 12:48
  You're talking about the border there, Ed.
• 12:49
  Uh I want to touch briefly on this uh uh President Trump just signed that bill to fund DHS as another big story here after the lengthy shutdown.
• 12:58
  This was uh longest one ever.
• 12:59
  There was a partial shutdown, of course, uh, for things that and this is really kind of historical because uh they just didn't want to fund certain things and kept their they didn't get any reforms or anything, uh, but they just kept at it.
• 13:13
  And so now the passage uh was a win, many say for Trump and leader thune, uh, who urged no modifications, they didn't get any modifications, uh, but now they're gonna budget plan, they're gonna go back for reconciliation, um, the budget plan, as you know already, uh, to fund ICE and border patrol.
• 13:29
  So, how was this played out?
• 13:30
  Was this did it work uh the way it should have?
• 13:33
  I mean, did we get there?
• 13:35
  The Democrats, it it sure did, because uh the point the New York Times didn't bring up that applies here as well, is besides the assassination attempts and the violence at those different periods in time, they didn't have a Democratic Party that was overtaken by the radicals to the extent it has that in this case here with the the reconciliation package as well.
• 13:58
  You have lawmakers who are lawbreakers who enabled other tens of millions of people to break our laws and who are now actively resisting enforcing the very laws they signed up to.
• 14:00
  Lawbreakers who enabled other tens of millions of people to break our laws and who are now actively resisting enforcing the very laws they signed up to.
• 14:10
  And so you have an activist radical left, what I call the blood revolution of the Democrats driving this whole agenda now.
• 14:10
  And so you have an activist radical left, what I call the blood revolution of the Democrats driving this whole agenda now.
• 14:17
  And so for them it was a win because it delayed further any movement and uh removal of the illegal aliens.
• 14:17
  And so for them it was a win because it delayed further any movement and uh removal of the illegal aliens.
• 14:26
  And so it advances their cause.
• 14:26
  And so it advances their cause.
• 14:29
  Okay.
• 14:29
  Okay.
• 14:30
  With what you say there, uh you know, I want to segue over to um now that we I mean we know where that's all going.
• 14:38
  But let's let's talk a minute about uh the last couple of days, your last few days, uh Pete Heggseth up uh on the hill and uh some of the testimony here.
• 14:47
  Uh and the AP says making his first appearance before Congress since the Trump administration went to war against Iran.
• 14:53
  Heg Seth battled with Democrats and some Republicans uh in a nearly six hour house armed uh service committee here and probing him over the war.
• 15:01
  Hey, uh, and it was quite volatile.
• 15:03
  And I here's what I want to know.
• 15:05
  And Blanke, I want to go to you on this here a minute here, please.
• 15:08
  Uh really the with what you see with Hegse every time he's uh in these testimonies, it gets pretty ugly.
• 15:16
  How is Heggseth?
• 15:17
  How is Pete Heggseth being perceived by the public?
• 15:20
  Do you think?
• 15:20
  How's it working?
• 15:22
  Not well in many cases, you know, because um they've seen him as the cheerful host that was on Fox Television, good looking guy.
• 15:34
  And really and truly the military uh has been through a lot through many administrations.
• 15:40
  We saw everyone a lot of us were unhappy what happened with General Flynn.
• 15:45
  People really want to know that anyone who is in, I guess now we're calling it the Department of War, but used to be the Department of Defense, want to make sure that the person that leads that division, that important entity, uh, has a lot of comprehension and experience, uh, especially if we're going to be engaged in war.
• 16:05
  And I don't know, Mr.
• 16:07
  Heggseth.
• 16:07
  I'm sure he's a very good guy, but from what I hear from people that I talk to uh around the country, and certainly in my capacity as a broadcaster, they are not a hundred percent um feeling completely confident with him.
• 16:24
  Right.
• 16:24
  That's what I hear as well, Blanquita.
• 16:26
  And Patricia, to the point of Heg Seth, uh straight out.
• 16:30
  Is it effective to be highly combative in these public hearings for a cabinet member like that?
• 16:36
  Is it is that an effective tool?
• 16:38
  Well, apparently not, on the basis that uh the majority of people are off put by by a compatible combative tone.
• 16:46
  On the other hand, if if we look just at the at the at the transcript of these uh test this testimony, I think we come away with a different view of it.
• 16:57
  I mean, when you when you listen to it, when you watch it, it feels combative, it feels off-putting.
• 17:03
  When you read the points being made, it's pretty tough to argue with it.
• 17:07
  So well, the public uh the persona means everything, the public persona and the image you give off.
• 17:12
  So most people don't read any of that crap, by the way, uh Patricia, but they see the fit, they see the sound bites that are playing afterward.
• 17:20
  So that's uh probably damaged control.
• 17:22
  But let me get to a bigger point, Ed, with Pete Heggseth.
• 17:25
  And I just want to ask you right now because uh Pete Heggsh, uh, are his days numbered in the administration?
• 17:31
  Hell no.
• 17:31
  I think he's doing a fantastic job.
• 17:33
  Well, I have to vehemently disagree with the other two guests here.
• 17:36
  Okay.
• 17:36
  Because I mean, Heg Seth has the experience and knowledge and background.
• 17:40
  Just like others, they've done the uh character assassination slaughter on them.
• 17:44
  But as Patricia pointed out in this testimony, I think you have to be combative.
• 17:49
  You have to come back and show them for what they are, the true hypocrites, the Democrats are.
• 17:53
  Here they are in opposition to America for everything they've said with every single president for since since the last 50 years related to Iran, getting nuclear weapons, and now they're complete hypocrites and they're cheering for Iran outright.
• 18:06
  Much like Biden aided China, Russia, and Ukraine, and they all stood by.
• 18:10
  And so now, once again, you have this.
• 18:12
  And so they're gonna paint the picture of Pete Hegh in a certain way, but he the his effectiveness shows that not only the recruitment numbers, but in terms of what's Iran doing now and the position they're in now is extremely highly effective.
• 18:26
  Well, Christy Gnome was also very compatible, by the way.
• 18:28
  And she caught a lot of hell for it, and it really started to tarnish her reputation out there a little bit here.
• 18:34
  Now, of course, males tend to get away with it quicker or easier than females.
• 18:39
  Isn't that is that a true statement, Blanquita?
• 18:41
  I don't think so because I went through Senate confirmation and it's pretty rough.
• 18:45
  I'll tell you, you go through everybody investigates you.
• 18:48
  But the question I have the one of the first things they ask you when you're going through Senate confirmation is Is there anything that you've done that could embarrass the president or the United States, one of your family members?
• 19:03
  Remember, when they go back and they do background checks, they talk to everybody, they talk to neighbors, they talk to people that knew you in school, they talk to people that you don't even know.
• 19:12
  No boy.
• 19:13
  The thing of it is when you take that oath, and it's a very, I mean, I took myself off the air for eight years because I felt I didn't want somebody saying that was working as one of our journalists in Bosnia or in China or anywhere to be embarrassed by some stupid thing I might say in the air.
• 19:31
  It was an honor to serve the president.
• 19:33
  It was a great honor to serve uh the American people, and it was a responsibility I took very seriously.
• 19:39
  Uh, I'm surprised there were things that we didn't know.
• 19:42
  Uh, I can one of the first things that I'll tell you this, and I I'll just shut up, is that I had a great boss.
• 19:48
  His name was Jerry Jennings.
• 19:49
  He'd been the head of the science technology and CIA and FBI.
• 19:53
  He said to me, BQ, you get in office, don't doll it up, don't find new furniture, don't get new paintings, don't go do things because you think you can because you're the big cheese.
• 20:02
  Respect the American people and the mission that you're serving.
• 20:06
  Amen.
• 20:06
  So I think that we have to be careful of that.
• 20:08
  And it's not her gender.
• 20:10
  And I say this to anybody, it's the agenda.
• 20:13
  We have to be stronger now as Republicans that serve better, more honorable than ever, because they're gonna come after us.
• 20:21
  Yeah, yeah.
• 20:22
  Staying with the Department of War now.
• 20:24
  And you know, it seems odd when you say it that way, because we we we always knew it as the Department of Defense in this time.
• 20:30
  Of course, it was the Department of War before, but that's what they call it now, the Department of War.
• 20:34
  And uh, you know, I I wondered, Ed, a little but to your point a moment, Ed, uh quickly, uh, Department of War, uh, Department of Defense, it used to be.
• 20:42
  Now they changed the Department of War.
• 20:44
  I was thinking maybe they should have put it as the department of offense.
• 20:47
  What do you think instead of defense?
• 20:49
  No, I think the Department of War is good because you have war has offense and defense, but the Department of Defense is a reactive name.
• 20:57
  It's a purely reactive.
• 20:58
  Well, that's what I'm being funny with the offense.
• 21:00
  I mean, and the reason I say it that way, Ed, because Trump, in some ways, is being on offense right now.
• 21:00
  I mean the reason I say it that way, Ed, because Trump, in some ways, is being on offense right now.
• 21:06
  He's not just being on defense.
• 21:06
  He's not just being on defense, he's playing offense with some of these things he's going after.
• 21:07
  He's playing offense with some of these things he's going after.
• 21:10
  Well, yeah, but so I'll go back to both Patricia and Black Peter, but they both made really good points about cultivating the mob mentality and the lies that are going on here, and also that the control aspect here.
• 21:10
  Well, yeah, but so I I'll go back to both Patricia and Black Peter, but they both made really good points about cultivating the mob mentality and the lies that are going on here, and also that the control aspect here, and what the Trump administration, the conservativists have yet to realize.
• 21:23
  And what the Trump administration, the conservatives have yet to realize, and Blake Peter probably remember this from her days in radio fever Europe.
• 21:27
  And blank Peter probably remember this from her days in.
• 21:31
  We forgot how to fight the cognitive war.
• 21:34
  We forgot how to influence America the way Trump does very good at that.
• 21:38
  But you need the full-blown weight of the government going back there to help with the narrative, strategic messaging and such.
• 21:45
  And because he's not done this, he's continually caught flat footed in my mind.
• 21:50
  Go ahead.
• 21:51
  You're right, Ed, on that.
• 21:53
  And the other thing is this is not the time to shut down the voice of America, Radio Free Europe, Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, Middle East Broadcast Network.
• 22:03
  Yes, there's there is a lot of uh problems inside, some corruption.
• 22:08
  I've tried to tell them clean it up, but don't ever shut it down because we'll never get back in all those countries again.
• 22:15
  Yeah.
• 22:16
  Well, to this war now, I want to I want to stay here a moment with the 1973 war powers uh resolution and uh uh Trump telling Congress the hostilities with Iran have terminated.
• 22:27
  Uh there's a lot of uh interesting things being said here, a lot of nuances that of course were not uh that are not being reported properly, uh very clearly.
• 22:36
  Uh your sense of this uh with this uh uh the fact that he's saying this to Congress another 60 days, and of course, uh Heg Seth was arguing.
• 22:46
  And Ed, I need you to talk about this a moment here, please.
• 22:49
  Uh you've seen Heggseth was arguing uh the the point that uh, well, we've been in a ceasefire, so that time doesn't count or not.
• 22:57
  But regardless of that, right now the president has been at uh the status quo with the ceasefire.
• 23:03
  Uh I there are people arguing in my year, Ed, that that ceasefire it was the wrong move because as they always do with the Iranians, it gives the regime time to regroup and restructure and do various things, and that maybe he should have just went full blast because this time delay and pushing forward is really starting to grow old to a lot of people here.
• 23:25
  Well, that's where people have to grow a spine and grow memory and also have some patience.
• 23:31
  Okay, so Trump's shown he's been very, very good at at laying out and executing a well thought-out strategy related to what's going on in Iran, financially, militarily, and other.
• 23:43
  But the American people have uh short and myopic view.
• 23:47
  But when he what he does need to do is he needs to go out and provide more of a narrative supporting the fact that we need to have a little bit more patience and because this is sacrifice, it's only been eight weeks.
• 23:59
  And so the War Powers Act, of course, he thinks it's unconstitutional.
• 24:03
  I think it's unconstitutional.
• 24:04
  He has grounds to fight that, he has grounds to extend another 30 days.
• 24:08
  This is all maneuvering he's doing to because he knows he has Iran on the ropes, but you have the Democrats who would rather have America lose and then America have to deal with nuclear blackmail than have this administration or conservatives win.
• 24:24
  And I'll make one final point there.
• 24:26
  Why is that?
• 24:27
  Because the Democrats have gone so far left and they're so hell-bent on gaining absolute power.
• 24:33
  They more align with China, Russia, and Iran than they align with anything that we have in America in our ideals.
• 24:38
  Yeah, yeah.
• 24:39
  Well, and we'll talk more about that a little bit because you hit a couple of big points in your piece here.
• 24:43
  Patricia, I want I want you to speak about this a moment here.
• 24:46
  Uh, when Ed says, and this is a big deal, this is a big point we're making right here now.
• 24:50
  When Ed says that, well, Americans need to grow a spine, they need to have patience, what have you?
• 24:54
  I would say that there were a lot of people who would disagree with that entirely because they simply cannot afford $4.50 a gallon for gasoline, they can't afford a lot of things.
• 25:04
  And we can sit in the, and I know the flip side of that is to argue, well, what's the alternative?
• 25:08
  As the president says, even the alternative is to have a nuclear uh bomb go off or let these people you know get some of these more powerful weapons.
• 25:16
  Um, you know, no president's going after them like this one has.
• 25:19
  It's very unusual.
• 25:20
  But the patience is growing thin with the American public on both sides of the aisle.
• 25:25
  What do you see out there?
• 25:26
  I think it's going to grow thin, and I think he's he's willing to pay the political price of America's patience growing thin.
• 25:33
  And the truth is, um, just as Ed pointed out, uh, it it hasn't been very long.
• 25:40
  And the the influences causing gas prices to be very high are very specific.
• 25:45
  And there's a there's a very known and and quantifiable end in sight.
• 25:50
  So yeah, we have to see it through.
• 25:52
  We have to finish it and uh make sure.
• 25:53
  So you're you're a support of staying there and finishing the job.
• 25:56
  You're you're absolutely not.
• 25:58
  Okay, all right.
• 25:59
  And and when you say that, and again, there's a division in the Republican Party that not everybody agrees with that for sure.
• 26:04
  I mean, that is a very, very um divided conversation right now, even on this network, it is very, very divided.
• 26:10
  Blanquito, are you it it's simple?
• 26:13
  Uh you think finishing the job right now, or listen, listen, it it depends how far that job goes ahead because these midterms are coming quick right now.
• 26:20
  And if things are anywhere near where they are right now, if he doesn't start to land some of these planes and get on with the domestic politics, you're and what Patricia Netta is saying, well, it doesn't really matter, but I'm gonna suggest to you back it does, because if he continues on here and he this midterm goes the way that many are predicting it will go, his administration will be cut off at the knees immediately, and there will be damage control.
• 26:44
  It's gotta get better.
• 26:45
  The other thing of this, when you're talking about oil, remember the uh remember the uh what happened with fracking.
• 26:52
  We got a lot of oil.
• 26:53
  I'm from Texas, okay.
• 26:55
  And and people can have, we've got a lot of ways to have oil.
• 26:58
  We can the relationship that we had with Canada.
• 27:01
  We we shut that down.
• 27:02
  We had to stop the pipeline.
• 27:05
  We've got to be smarter with it and go back to some of the ways that worked well.
• 27:09
  But on the issue of Iran, you know, again, uh we have institutional memory talking about the votes on when they wanted to do these deals with Biden and before that uh with uh Iran.
• 27:22
  You know, one of the things that I remember very well when I was uh dealing with the Persian service uh and voice of America, we got a request from from the listeners, and they said, Can you create a series?
• 27:35
  How the Americans, the young Americans were able to fight against England and the American revolution.
• 27:42
  They love our story, and they want to go back to that period of time when women are not killed because they don't wear a hijab or whatever it is, and you've had people killed for listening to the internet or turning on something that that seems inappropriate.
• 27:57
  I think you're talking about in Iran, you're talking about in Iran.
• 28:00
  In Iran.
• 28:01
  We have to find ways to paint the picture that explains the reason that the fight is so critical.
• 28:01
  We have to find ways to paint the picture that explains the reason that the fight is so critical.
• 28:09
  Yes, nuclear is absolutely right at the top.
• 28:09
  Yes, nuclear is absolutely right at the top.
• 28:13
  But what is life for the Iranian women and men and children?
• 28:13
  But what is life for the Iranian women and men and children?
• 28:17
  Remember, in this country, we don't like bullies.
• 28:17
  Remember, in this country, we don't like bullies.
• 28:20
  We never have.
• 28:20
  We never have.
• 28:21
  So it's again going back to that billboard.
• 28:21
  So it's again going back to that billboard, winning's not everything, it's knowing how to fight and making the American people understand that because even if they're on the left.
• 28:23
  Winning's not everything.
• 28:24
  It's knowing how to fight.
• 28:26
  And making the American people understand that, because even if they're on the left, the majority of people on the left are not so far left that they will like a bully.
• 28:34
  They don't.
• 28:34
  Well, no, it's true.
• 28:36
  But what you're describing with Iran, and uh, you know, there's a lot of passion, uh, compassion for what you're saying.
• 28:43
  Uh correct with the Iranian people.
• 28:45
  The Iranian, this war isn't against the Iranian people, it is the radical regime.
• 28:49
  However, if we were to take that, this gets back to uh democracies and nation building and all let me just say, if we were to take that, and if that was our and this is where there's a real fight here in our nation right now, and a division that I don't think is going to be healed easy, because uh if we apply that all over the place to area, we would be all over the globe stretched so thin, we we would collapse as it was.
• 29:13
  But we're but if we're in Iran right now, Malcolm, if we're in Iran right now, right?
• 29:17
  You ask the American, it's your neighbor.
• 29:20
  What's going on over there?
• 29:21
  Who are those people?
• 29:23
  Who well, who are we fighting?
• 29:24
  Who are they?
• 29:25
  They don't know.
• 29:26
  If we can do a better job, educate people, educating people in a way that they'll listen, that they'll understand, and we're creative enough.
• 29:35
  We can do that.
• 29:36
  Well, if they listen to America out loud, we'll educate the people.
• 29:38
  Let me tell you command.
• 29:40
  Yeah.
• 29:41
  Malcolm, one thing that that's missing here.
• 29:44
  So what Blanquetti is talking about with Iran.
• 29:47
  Look at America under Biden and and ask what was the difference between what was happening in Iran, what was happening in America?
• 29:54
  And the only difference is that Americans, we were able to continue to exercise our second amendment right.
• 30:00
  The other aspect that you're not mentioning here is the wildcard congressional redistricting and the fact that the economy is booming like heck.
• 30:09
  And so those things can come into play a lot more here in the midterms than just the game.
• 30:13
  And I and I want to talk about that after the pause, Ed.
• 30:16
  So hold on to that thought.
• 30:17
  But I one quick other thing I need you to speak about, though, and I want your opinion on.
• 30:21
  Uh are you in support of this withdrawing the 5,000 troops from Germany and the clash with NATO?
• 30:27
  What do you think about that?
• 30:28
  It sends a message.
• 30:30
  I think the message needs to be sent.
• 30:32
  Uh we will see what the next steps here are.
• 30:35
  But uh our allies are once allies in Germany, the UK, Spain, and others have all shown what they're really about.
• 30:41
  Globalism and leftism, and they didn't learn from two world wars.
• 30:45
  So perhaps there's a time for a third that this time we won't.
• 30:49
  So you support that.
• 30:50
  Blanquita, uh Patricia, do either of you have a different opinion or do you support this uh this threat of removing the 5,000 troops from Germany?
• 30:57
  No, I totally support it.
• 30:58
  I totally support it.
• 30:59
  I I think the reason they have been at liberty to go so far left and to embrace all this socialism and Marxism and Islamification and all that.
• 31:07
  They they've been at liberty to do that because we've had their back in terms of uh defense.
• 31:13
  So if we if they don't have if we don't have their back and they say, Oh, we gotta we gotta defend ourselves, then maybe a new approach.
• 31:20
  Interesting.
• 31:21
  And maybe a new approach, Patricia.
• 31:23
  Uh the question I have here is I I'd like to know who we have handling the diplomatic side of this.
• 31:30
  Uh, we have weak leadership in some of these countries.
• 31:33
  Look what's going on in England.
• 31:35
  Look at what's going on in on France, look what's going on around the world.
• 31:39
  We don't have Winston Churchill's, we don't have other leaders of that caliber that were around during World War II.
• 31:46
  Uh so I am concerned about it.
• 31:49
  I want us to do it carefully, very carefully.
• 31:52
  Yeah, all right.
• 31:52
  The other thing we should pay attention to is what is it that brings about those kinds of strong leaders?
• 31:59
  Because it isn't soft times.
• 32:01
  No, no.
• 32:02
  Well, it's not soft times, but you also have a situation, even in the UK.
• 32:07
  I read the Daily Mail every day, and it's always talking about the problem with immigration.
• 32:12
  Every country's having a problem with immigration.
• 32:14
  My question always is why are these countries so willing to let these people leave their country?
• 32:20
  Is it strategic or they just don't care?
• 32:23
  Yeah.
• 32:23
  Well, you know, here we are, and uh, you know, a lot of these problems seem new and uh and uh threatening and unique, but as we started this broadcast, I like where we started this today, friends, because I I sometimes think we get in over our schemes a little bit when we think the world is ending and the last election is going to be the last election.
• 32:40
  How many times have we heard that and said that and reported on that?
• 32:43
  These are different times, but uh we sometimes also forget to count uh the things that are going well for us or the blessings of life.
• 32:50
  And I think it's it's I sometimes like to pause and just reflect back on history.
• 32:55
  When you look at the world wars we've been through, you look at other things that have happened in the world.
• 32:59
  Uh these are not terribly unique times right now, even though they feel that way.
• 33:03
  Uh there are problems in the world for sure, but there have always always been problems in the world.
• 33:09
  And you know why, friends?
• 33:10
  Because it's the fight of good and evil.
• 33:11
  That's what this always comes down to.
• 33:13
  That's the denominator of this.
• 33:15
  Okay.
• 33:16
  All right, great conversations here uh with uh Edward Huglin, uh Blanquita colour, Patricia Anton or the panel will stay with us and come back here and we're gonna get into uh well, you see the Supreme Court, the Voting Rights Act is uh pretty big deal for a lot of reasons.
• 33:29
  But the GOP, midterm warnons mount, uh says politico, and uh we'll talk a little bit about that again.
• 33:35
  I mentioned about landing some of these planes, we'll touch on some of that a little bit here as well, and some interesting conversations about uh what's going on, uh, you know, a lot of the stuff is socialism is already in our country, and uh we we see the fight that's happening here.
• 33:49
  These these are unique times uh to us.
• 33:51
  I mean, after all, this is our lifetime.
• 33:53
  It's uh it's a little different than uh something that happened a hundred years ago when we weren't here.
• 33:58
  I mean, it's just like the pandemic when that came through.
• 34:00
  There was another one a hundred years back, but none of us were alive at that point, right?
• 34:03
  So it was a unique thing for our times, of course.
• 34:06
  How we battle it and and how we do it as a people is is going to be the key.
• 34:10
  Listen, I want to invite you back to America Outloud.news.

  You'll see it at the top of AmericaOut Loud.news and on hundreds of podcast networks around the globe.
• 39:55
  You cannot miss it.
• 39:56
  Viewpoint this Sunday.
• 39:57
  Check it out, please.
• 39:58
  Uh, and uh pass it off to your friends and share the show, and uh that's our job here.
• 40:02
  All right, we're talking here.
• 40:04
  We've got a stellar group here.
• 40:05
  Edward Hugland is here, Blanquita Cullum, Patricia Antone, and we're talking about some of the uh we started with some of the violence and the age of violence in a very interesting way that we started the broadcast.
• 40:14
  Just reminding people that uh we've always had challenges in the world and challenges in our country, and how we address the challenges this time around will make the difference.
• 40:23
  And uh, and I I want to reinforce that a little bit.
• 40:26
  I want to give people a little jump in their step and a bit of optimism.
• 40:29
  I I don't like those who get on these broadcasts and everything is doom and gloom and the world is gonna fall apart and we're all fear-based.
• 40:35
  Uh that's that garbage is you go listen to Sean Hannity if you want that stuff here.
• 40:39
  Um this is a little different broadcast here.
• 40:41
  So, anyways, uh let's jump in now to this.
• 40:43
  So, what's happening?
• 40:44
  Uh uh I think the biggest thing I start with is the midterm warnings.
• 40:47
  Patricia, I want to start back with you, please.
• 40:50
  All right, so now um that the DHS shutdown is finally over.
• 40:54
  Politico says the House approved the bill to fund all DHS ending.
• 40:58
  The record break is 76-day posture shutdown uh without solving any of the policy disagreements that kept the department shut.
• 41:06
  And this is all just stupid political games.
• 41:08
  But here's what they say that I want to talk to you about.
• 41:11
  They say the blinking red lights.
• 41:12
  And by the way, I get I get all the leftist pieces because I want to know where they're the radical left.
• 41:17
  I see all the stuff they do, and that and I use it here to report back to the American people.
• 41:22
  They call it the blinking red lights, Patricia, a top GOP super pack warned today that the GOP Senate majority, once considered pretty safe, is now at risk.
• 41:33
  The anxiety is stemming in part from voters' sovereign view of the economy.
• 41:38
  Once one of Trump's strongest issues amid the four-year high gas prices, as the war in Iran is set to stretch into his third month.
• 41:45
  March saw the country's fastest inflation growth in four years, according to economic data released today.
• 41:50
  Now, that's where I get to the nuts and bolts of some of this conversation that nobody is really talking about yet on this broadcast.
• 41:57
  But I think that he's got to land this around thing quickly.
• 42:00
  Quickly, like I mean yesterday.
• 42:01
  Like I mean yesterday.
• 42:02
  And I know you keep saying go to the end, but if you do, if you do, and this drags on much longer, Patricia, I can pretty well guarantee you the midterm will go left and we we will be out of gas.
• 42:02
  And I know you keep saying go to the end, but if you do, if you do, and this drags on much longer, Patricia, I can pretty well guarantee you the midterm will go left, and we we will be out of gas.
• 42:13
  What do you say?
• 42:13
  What do you say?
• 42:14
  Well, what is the end?
• 42:14
  Well, what is the end?
• 42:15
  What is the end?
• 42:15
  What is the end?
• 42:16
  And and uh as Heggs was arguing, the end of actual offensive um uh uh hostilities has already been were there.
• 42:16
  And and uh as Heggseth was arguing, the end of actual offensive um uh hostilities has already been we're there.
• 42:27
  Uh they've been decimated.
• 42:27
  Uh they've been decimated, and now it's a question of guarding.
• 42:32
  What the hell are we hanging around for in the strait?
• 42:34
  Why are we hanging there still if it's all done?
• 42:36
  But no, the uh we have to protect and and open the strait.
• 42:41
  We still have that to do, and that is that is more a defensive uh move.
• 42:45
  We need to we need to kill the bad guys as they come up.
• 42:48
  So I I see it as okay, um, like like Blanquito was was talking about, we need to articulate this thing um the way Hegh did.
• 42:59
  Okay, so maybe he came off a little combative, but you know, the the points that he made are right.
• 43:05
  Uh they're right.
• 43:06
  We have done our job, the military performed brilliantly, and now it's a question of finish the job of starving these people to death without starving that regime to death by uh by protecting the strait.
• 43:18
  So um, yeah, it's gonna have to get done.
• 43:20
  Um, no matter what the political cost is.
• 43:23
  All right.
• 43:23
  Well, let's listen, blank it.
• 43:25
  The the the uh regime is not going to starve to death.
• 43:27
  Uh, the people, the Iranian people will.
• 43:30
  But let me tell you, that regime is gonna, these people do not stop, they do not back down for anything.
• 43:35
  That's their life.
• 43:36
  It's they live to die, right?
• 43:38
  And you have to think about the aspect right now, what's going on?
• 43:42
  Um, you know, I have a son, I have a daughter, a lot of us have kids.
• 43:47
  They can't go out and buy a house, it's too expensive.
• 43:50
  Exactly.
• 43:50
  You know, they can't afford to do it, and there some of them have two and three jobs trying to be creative to be able to support their families.
• 43:58
  The other thing is hold on.
• 44:00
  What is hold on?
• 44:00
  What do they do then?
• 44:01
  How long is it?
• 44:02
  Stop a minute here.
• 44:03
  How long can because what you just described is the pain everybody is feeling right now.
• 44:08
  So, how long can these people hold on to this BS that we keep saying, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're gonna do what we're gonna do, we're gonna do no matter how long it takes.
• 44:15
  How long can they hang on, man?
• 44:17
  Well, I don't know.
• 44:18
  And uh, you know, I don't think that if they don't, I to your point, I agree with you, Malcolm, they gotta find a way to pull it to an end or at least uh you know, a halt so that we can get through this time, and people aren't sitting there thinking, holy cow.
• 44:33
  And if we go back and we reinstate the draft, do we not think that our daughters are going to be included in the draft?
• 44:38
  Give me a break.
• 44:39
  But I did see something that made me laugh.
• 44:42
  And I'll I'm gonna share this one with you because I thought it was pretty creative.
• 44:45
  You know, in California and Los Angeles, they have a mayorial race coming up, and um, there's a guy by the name of Spencer Pratt.
• 44:53
  I saw this this morning.
• 44:54
  I don't know anything about him.
• 44:56
  But uh he's running against a person, a woman who is from what I can read is very uh has communist sympathies, okay.
• 45:05
  And so what he did is he went out and he said, uh, you know, he he shot the location, uh, videoed the location where he was showing the house of the current mayor, showing them the house of this candidate, yeah, and which was a three million dollar house.
• 45:20
  Yeah, and then it showed his house, which was really just a was a trailer, okay?
• 45:26
  He was living in a mobile home.
• 45:28
  If we have more creative ways to show the effect on how the American people are suffering, not at just at the hands of this war.
• 45:37
  Well, just go show Pelosi's refrigerator again, for God's sakes.
• 45:40
  That's all you're gonna do is negative fund.
• 45:43
  Or you have people saying, Well, I'm gonna drink me a beer, pocahontas.
• 45:46
  You know, she's trying to look very uh normal.
• 45:50
  Um the average person, the the average person is fed up with the baloney, but they just there was an old show that Johnny Carson started on, and it was called Who Do You Trust?
• 45:59
  That's the key break that pays.
• 46:02
  This constitutional republic uh is not doing a good job sending the right cats to to to power in power.
• 46:09
  That's the problem here.
• 46:10
  Well the we're a representative government, but we're picking really crappy choices to represent us.
• 46:15
  And so they rob the bank, they rob everything, they put gates up, they they they they uh uh launder the money, they they get rich and fat and and let me tell you one other thing that we don't discuss.
• 46:26
  Do you know how much the cartels make a month on human trafficking?
• 46:30
  Oh, yeah.
• 46:31
  They make a billion dollars.
• 46:33
  You covered that on your show, and that's one of the sickest things of humanity that disgust me, any kind of trafficking.
• 46:38
  I'll tell you, it's disgusting.
• 46:39
  It really is.
• 46:40
  Um, let's get Ed back into this conversation as far as uh this uh uh you know, this blinking red lights that we're talking about now, Ed, and you've been saying no finish the job for that.
• 46:50
  Well, let me ask you about finishing the job something, Ed.
• 46:53
  As I've been watching strategically, things are the way they're going, they had uh a lot of targets they dismantled before the ceasefire that went very, very well.
• 47:02
  It seemed they were doing some pretty I mean, as well as the multi-upper levels of the regime, the radical regime.
• 47:09
  Now there's still core pieces of that, the metastasizing of that cancer there that is still there.
• 47:15
  You know, back to the back to the uh uh Carg island and and that whole straight, you know.
• 47:20
  If maybe why not get totally aggressive if you're gonna do it, the regime is not gonna listen.
• 47:26
  He keeps saying we want to negotiate with them.
• 47:28
  I assume he's just doing this for public consumption.
• 47:30
  I know I have to assume he knows we're not gonna really get any kind of deal from these people.
• 47:35
  We were never gonna get a deal from them.
• 47:36
  He keeps saying he's gone looking for a deal, Ed.
• 47:39
  I assume he knows we're never getting one.
• 47:41
  So why the hell didn't he finish the carg island off?
• 47:43
  Dismantle the damn thing, stop get those boats the hell out of there, stop the mines, open up the straits, and uh let's get on with it.
• 47:51
  So, a couple of reasons is first of all, uh taking on carg island would then take out the means for the Iranian people to rebuild their economy afterwards.
• 48:02
  Second, what was not being discussed is look what's happening with the OPEC and the UAE, Venezuela, U.S.
• 48:10
  oil production, other stuff like that.
• 48:11
  What you're seeing behind the scenes is a massive increase in production, okay, separate from what was happening in around.
• 48:19
  And so you're seeing is the production of the oil that's required to fuel the economies of the world happening elsewhere, but at the same time, you're seeing severe restrictions impacting Russia and China, Cuba, okay, major regional hemisphere enemies for decades.
• 48:38
  And so all these things are being played out extremely well by this administration in a broader strategy.
• 48:44
  And the reason he's not going out and broadcasting that because he doesn't want to highlight these different aspects of his strategy, because then it it takes away from again his narratives, which tend to then help his cause.
• 48:57
  And so that the the last thing there on the midterms.
• 49:00
  On the the midterms.
• 49:01
  Remember when the GOP right after Trump was elected, say a Democratic Party's dead.
• 49:01
  Remember when the GOP right after Trump was elected, say oh Democratic Party's dead.
• 49:05
  Okay, they do the same damn stupid thing every single single cycle.
• 49:05
  Okay, they do the same damn stupid thing every single single cycle.
• 49:09
  The only saving grace here is the radical left is so far left, the American people still don't trust him.
• 49:09
  The only saving grace here is the radical left is so far left, the American people still don't trust them.
• 49:16
  And so, that's the saving grace in all this, I hope, Ed.
• 49:16
  And to the other thing, saving grace in all this, I hope, Ed.
• 49:19
  The fact that they are.
• 49:19
  The fact that they are.
• 49:27
  So American people are stupid.
• 49:27
  So American people are stupid.
• 49:28
  I don't think you're that stupid.
• 49:28
  I don't think you're that stupid.
• 49:30
  Yeah, no, well, uh, there's some of them are, but not not all.
• 49:32
  They're pretty smart otherwise.
• 49:34
  People are not stupid.
• 49:35
  They're not stupid.
• 49:36
  I disagree with that.
• 49:37
  What I learned back in the day when I started broadcasting is if I can understand the issue, the American people can.
• 49:44
  It's how it's presented to them, and who do they trust?
• 49:47
  You know, I've been to Venezuela many times during my career as a governor.
• 49:51
  And in Venezuela, you've got the presence of Iran, you've got Syria, you've got China.
• 49:57
  China made a deal with Venezuela when they were so corrupt from Chavez to Maduro to give them their oil, and that's heavy oil in places that only can be processed in cities like Houston.
• 50:08
  So we had to do a better job.
• 50:10
  All right.
• 50:11
  I need to get this on the fast high speed lane because I got some other things to talk about here.
• 50:15
  So uh this uh Supreme Court limits vote and rights act.
• 50:18
  Patricia, I want you to speak about this.
• 50:19
  You have a six to three rule in the justice narrowed how this key provision of the acts can be enforced.
• 50:25
  Uh this was uh heavily said that it was going to favor the Republicans.
• 50:30
  What do you what's give me your and this got into really messy stuff uh because they were isolated, as you know, Patricia, the the uh majority black districts in Louisiana.
• 50:38
  Again, the left use they use race to divide everything.
• 50:41
  Uh, these people are about the biggest racist uh conglomerate uh on the planet is the radical left.
• 50:47
  Uh, but talk about that uh six three ruling.
• 50:50
  What do you think?
• 50:50
  Well, I I think that the American people and and I think we're waking up from this whole delusion that you can solve racism with more racism in the other.
• 51:01
  So they do it, Patricia, they do it and they try to make sense of it.
• 51:05
  Yeah.
• 51:05
  So, and yeah, we we will wake up, but it's going to, it's it's a process, it's not an event, and and this ruling is going to help.
• 51:12
  And uh, so you know, it's it's gonna take a while.
• 51:15
  And I think years from now, we're gonna look back on this and we're gonna say that's that's the point at which we started realizing that racism is wrong no matter who engages it.
• 51:24
  So yeah, yeah.
• 51:25
  Let me stay with you on a moment as we're talking about that.
• 51:28
  I want to get into the big apple in New York, please.
• 51:30
  You have a fantastic article on the platform, The Big Apples Got of Auracus and Toxic Worm called Mandami.
• 51:36
  It's a must read, and you've got to see that image on there.
• 51:39
  It's it's it speaks volumes.
• 51:41
  Uh, and you say here, Patricia, in his push to discourage and punish investment in New York City, Mondami is driving private wealth from New York City as quickly as possible.
• 51:50
  Purging the city of wealth creators is clearly the result, if not the intent, of two recently fulfilled campaign promises.
• 51:58
  He talks about the greater good, the greater good pursued by socialism isn't provisioned for the city's poor, most of whom will suffer first, and most when the government acts to impede wealth creation investment within the city, the greater good for which Mondami strives is power.
• 52:12
  This was a hell of a piece, but you really nailed down a lot of the socialism.
• 52:15
  Give me a a soundbite on this uh Colin, please, or what the real problem in in uh Mandami land up there.
• 52:22
  Well, uh Mandami has has uh done what communists do, and that is weaponize greed, weaponize uh class envy.
• 52:30
  So um that that is the the um the basis of community organizing is to get this collective against that collective and promise them yada yada that um and so that's how communists rise to power.
• 52:43
  So, yeah, the idea that the city will be more impoverished because of what he's doing with the whole grocery store thing and and this this crazy tax on people who buy uh second properties there and stuff like that.
• 52:58
  All of those policies, he doesn't care that those serve to diminish the wealth both created and invested in the city.
• 53:06
  That's not a concern because what we're trying to do here is weaponize envy class envy and class hatreds in order to rise to power.
• 53:14
  So that's we'll uh that's that's why we're not gonna see you know, people say, Oh, he's so foolish and wait till he sees what the results of that is, and that'll show him and no, it won't.
• 53:23
  All right, how much more can he break New York City?
• 53:25
  How much more can he break it before they cry uncle up there?
• 53:28
  Patricia, quick.
• 53:29
  Oh, a lot.
• 53:30
  He can break it a lot.
• 53:31
  He can get it so that that uh they're screaming for they're already screaming for federal subsidies, and they can cause a whole bunch of other blue states to be checking their pockets, and you know, it's it it it will get worse before it gets better.
• 53:44
  You know what?
• 53:45
  Sometimes I think these people have got to sit and uh you know, Blanquita, I look at it as they've got to sit and smell their own uh their own stench that they've created in some of these urban cesspools.
• 53:55
  It's terrible what's going on up there.
• 53:56
  It you know, I don't like it at all, what's happened to America's cities, but I was reporting on this 20 years ago, the death of our cities, and here we are today, Blanquita, right?
• 54:04
  And you're gonna see an underground of people that are gonna start like this guy, Spencer Pratt, who's gonna find a creative way to fight.
• 54:11
  Again, it's not winning everything, it's knowing how to fight.
• 54:15
  You've got him in places all around the country that are trying to be creative that reach the heart of the American voter.
• 54:22
  Yeah, I want to talk about your article real fast as well.
• 54:24
  I got two other things to do here, so let me just get to it here.
• 54:27
  Uh uh, Blanquita.
• 54:28
  You say the world is wrong side up, it needs to be turned upside down to be right side up.
• 54:33
  That was an Alice in Wonderland deal there.
• 54:35
  But many times we wake up in the morning and we think we are going down rabbit holes, frankly, here.
• 54:40
  But this was quite a piece.
• 54:41
  Uh, and you ask the question here, regardless of who is in office or from which political party, how far should freedom of speech go?
• 54:49
  And you get into this all from the Luigi Mangioni kind of thing.
• 54:52
  You talk about the White House correspondence that on the media.
• 54:54
  So let me ask you that question.
• 54:56
  How far should freedom of speech go?
• 54:58
  Freedom of speech should go as far as we can make it go without causing violence or causing someone's death.
• 55:04
  Then that breaks the law.
• 55:06
  The fact of the matter is, I mean, you know, I've in my career have had to stand up for Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern back in the day, because freedom of speech allows the American people to make a decision.
• 55:17
  Again, I have a great deal of faith in the American people.
• 55:20
  It's their ox that's getting gored.
• 55:22
  We have to give them options to understand how they can fight back, start being fearless, not being worried about being canceled or being called names or being called bigot or racist or anti-this or anti-that.
• 55:36
  They need to stand up and try to be kind to each other, hold each other up.
• 55:41
  Remember, the old, that's the oldest golden rule in every religion.
• 55:46
  Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
• 55:48
  Amen.
• 55:49
  That's what I'm talking about with some of these cities, and they just have their hand out looking for a free lunch.
• 55:53
  I'm sorry, there's no free lunch here.
• 55:55
  Ed, let's bring this uh give you the last word, big word here now.
• 55:58
  On I want everybody to go read Ed's piece.
• 56:00
  Read Ed's piece.
• 56:00
  It will be in the hot button stories.
• 56:00
  It will be in the hot button stories.
• 56:03
  These stories we talk about on the radio here.
• 56:03
  The stories we talk about on the radio here, if you do not see them on the front page of America Out Loud.news, look at the hot button stories.
• 56:05
  If you do not see them on the front page of America Out Loud.news, look at the hot button stories, they will be there for sure.
• 56:10
  They will be there for sure.
• 56:13
  Now, Ed, your piece, it's not politics, it's a blood sport for absolute power.
• 56:13
  Now, Ed, your piece, it's not politics, it's a blood sport for absolute power.
• 56:18
  And I just want to read this little snippet here.
• 56:18
  And I just want to read this little snippet here.
• 56:20
  You say here China is our primary foreign enemy.
• 56:20
  You say here, China is our primary foreign enemy.
• 56:23
  The Democrat Party has become the primary domestic enemy.
• 56:23
  The Democrat Party has become the primary domestic enemy.
• 56:27
  We must protect America from all enemies.
• 56:27
  We must protect America from all enemies, foreign and domestic.
• 56:31
  Where have I heard that from before, Ed?
• 56:35
  That's the oath that all of us take when we uh sign up to serve the government, whether it's military or other.
• 56:41
  Amen.
• 56:41
  And so it's a critical aspect here.
• 56:43
  What we're seeing here is the Democrats are winning this cognitive war.
• 56:48
  1918, 1930s, the 60s and 70s and 80s, we saw the same type of leftist type movements.
• 56:54
  The difference here is you have a Democratic Party now that has been subserved subverted by radical left.
• 57:01
  And as you're pointing out, the different candidates putting forth are extreme radical leftists, and they're using this false narrative, these utopian narratives very effectively.
• 57:11
  And so this is what we have to watch out for because the Democrats get back in power.
• 57:18
  The only reason we aren't because Trump was re-elected in 2024.
• 57:22
  That's right.
• 57:22
  Yeah, a lot of things.
• 57:23
  Imagine what it would have been the alternative to that.
• 57:26
  That would be the nightmare of the ultimate rabbit hole.
• 57:29
  God Sam.
• 57:30
  Yeah, that'd be the ultimate rabbit hole, Ed.
• 57:32
  We'd fell into.
• 57:33
  We may not have a climb out of that one.
• 57:34
  I don't know.
• 57:35
  But uh, anyways, and you know, it's funny we say that, and uh, but again, look at where we started the broadcast that uh today's problems are unique to us because we are here fighting them.
• 57:44
  Our country has weathered many of these storms at 250 years old.
• 57:47
  This American experiment continues, friends.
