Another Iranian Deadline and So Long Swalwell · Booker Scott: Truth Be Told

0:07
Speaker 1: It's 6 Eastern. It's 3 o'clock Pacific.
0:09
Speaker 2: The U.S.
0:10
Speaker 3: Military has struck more than 50 ISIS targets in the
0:13
Speaker 3: past two hours.
0:14
Speaker 1: Coast to coast and around the world from the America
0:17
Speaker 1: Out Loud talk radio studios.
0:19
Speaker 4: Following the president's order to, quote, hit them hard after
0:22
Speaker 4: the killing of three Americans Saturday.
0:24
Speaker 1: It's time for The Truth Be Told with Booker Scott.
0:29
Speaker 5: We're in April, but it's starting to feel like Groundhog
0:32
Speaker 5: Day about every two weeks. Every two weeks, we have
0:34
Speaker 5: another deadline for Iran. Donald Trump draws a line in
0:38
Speaker 5: the sand, and here we are again. It seems like
0:41
Speaker 5: we were just here, and we were two weeks ago.
0:44
Speaker 5: I'm Booker. This is The Truth Be Told. It's Monday.
0:47
Speaker 5: That means Monday's with Matt. You see him on Fox News, Business,
0:51
Speaker 5: and also on Newsmax, and he's written 11 books, and
0:54
Speaker 5: he's always here on Monday nights. Matt, great to have
0:57
Speaker 5: you back. There is a lot we need to talk
0:59
Speaker 5: about tonight.
1:00
Speaker 2: Always good to be back.
1:01
Speaker 5: Let's get right to a rant as we start this hour.
1:04
Speaker 5: We had the Strait of Hormuz conversation last week, and
1:07
Speaker 5: it was blocked, and then Donald Trump checkmated them, and
1:11
Speaker 5: he puts a blockade on that completely worked and brought
1:14
Speaker 5: Iran to its knees. And then over the weekend, Iran says, well,
1:18
Speaker 5: we're going to shut down the Strait of Hormuz again.
1:21
Speaker 5: Quickly on Sunday, the Navy bombed an Iranian vessel there
1:26
Speaker 5: in the Strait of Hormuz, a big one, about 900 feet.
1:29
Speaker 5: They shot a missile right into the engine room. and
1:32
Speaker 5: I guess now the Navy has control of that Iranian vessel.
1:36
Speaker 5: What do you make of all of this? It's a
1:37
Speaker 5: great move for the blockade, but are we going to
1:41
Speaker 5: get to a point where Donald Trump says, finally, he's
1:43
Speaker 5: had enough, and he starts blowing up the bridges and
1:46
Speaker 5: the other infrastructure in Iran?
1:48
Speaker 2: Well, we need to have some sort of show of force.
1:50
Speaker 2: I mean, Iran, their biggest point of leverage is control
1:54
Speaker 2: of the Strait of Hormuz, and Listen, we have the
1:57
Speaker 2: biggest military in the world, plus NATO. Obviously, all these
2:01
Speaker 2: other NATO countries that we're allied with have a vested
2:04
Speaker 2: interest in keeping you straight open. So, you know, I
2:07
Speaker 2: have no military expert, but I say we just seize
2:10
Speaker 2: the whole thing and make it ours at this point.
2:12
Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you, and I found this clip
2:16
Speaker 5: of presidents and Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, talking about Iran
2:22
Speaker 5: through the years. I don't understand why they're is such
2:26
Speaker 5: a pushback on Donald Trump when it comes to Iran
2:29
Speaker 5: when everybody feels the same way. Listen to this, and
2:33
Speaker 5: then we'll talk about it on the other side of it.
2:35
Speaker 6: This is not a step I take lightly, but I
2:38
Speaker 6: am convinced that instituting a trade embargo with Iran is
2:41
Speaker 6: the most effective way our nation can help to curb
2:44
Speaker 6: that nation's drive to acquire devastating weapons and its continued
2:48
Speaker 6: support for terrorism.
2:49
Speaker 5: Bill Clinton.
2:51
Speaker 7: These countries understand that the Iranian nuclear issue is a
2:57
Speaker 7: problem and continues to be a problem that must be
3:02
Speaker 7: addressed by the international community.
3:05
Speaker 8: But just as it restricts the rights of its own people,
3:08
Speaker 8: the Iranian government continues to prop up a dictator in
3:11
Speaker 8: Damascus and supports terrorist groups abroad. Time and again, it
3:16
Speaker 8: has failed to take the opportunity to demonstrate that its
3:19
Speaker 8: nuclear program is peaceful and to meet its obligations to
3:22
Speaker 8: the United Nations. So let me be clear, America wants
3:27
Speaker 8: to resolve this issue through diplomacy, and we believe that
3:30
Speaker 8: there is still time and space to do so. But
3:34
Speaker 8: that time is not unlimited.
3:36
Speaker 4: I want the Iranians to know that if I'm the president,
3:39
Speaker 4: we will attack Iran. Whatever stage of development they might
3:42
Speaker 4: be in their nuclear weapons program in the next 10 years,
3:46
Speaker 4: during which they might foolishly consider launching an attack on Israel,
3:51
Speaker 4: we would be able to totally obliterate them. That's a
3:54
Speaker 4: terrible thing to say, but those people who run Iran
3:58
Speaker 4: need to understand that, because that perhaps will deter them
4:02
Speaker 4: from doing something that would be reckless, foolish, and tragic.
4:06
Speaker 7: However, I don't believe non-transparent regimes that threaten the security
4:09
Speaker 7: of the world should be allowed to gain the technologies
4:12
Speaker 7: necessary to make a weapon. And the Iranians have said,
4:16
Speaker 7: we want a weapon. And it's not in the world's
4:20
Speaker 7: interest that they have a weapon. And so we are
4:24
Speaker 7: working hard to continue the diplomacy necessary to send a
4:31
Speaker 7: focused message to the Iranian government, and that is your
4:35
Speaker 7: desires for a weapon are unacceptable.
4:37
Speaker 9: Don't mess with a minimum American unless you want to
4:40
Speaker 9: get the benefits.
4:41
Speaker 5: Okay, that's a bummer.
4:45
Speaker 10: We will never hesitate to take whatever action is necessary
4:50
Speaker 10: to defend our forces and our interests against Iran and
4:54
Speaker 10: Iran-backed terrorists.
4:56
Speaker 4: We're deploying new approaches to the threat posed by Iran,
5:00
Speaker 4: and we're doing so with our eyes wide open and
5:03
Speaker 4: with no illusions. We know the imperative of preventing Iran
5:08
Speaker 4: from obtaining nuclear weapons. After years during which the United
5:12
Speaker 4: States basically sat on the sidelines, Which.
5:15
Speaker 11: Foreign country do you consider to be our greatest adversary?
5:20
Speaker 12: I think there's an obvious one in mind, which is Iran.
5:24
Speaker 12: Iran has American blood on their hands, okay? This attack
5:28
Speaker 12: on Israel, 200 ballistic missiles, what we need to do
5:34
Speaker 12: to ensure that Iran never achieves the ability to be
5:39
Speaker 12: a nuclear power, that is one of my highest priorities.
5:42
Speaker 13: So if you have proof.
5:43
Speaker 11: That Iran is building a nuclear weapon, would you take
5:46
Speaker 11: military action?
5:48
Speaker 12: I'm not going to talk about hypotheticals.
5:50
Speaker 5: That is 30 years of American leaders from Bill Clinton,
5:53
Speaker 5: George Bush, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton
5:58
Speaker 5: as Secretary of State, saying there is no way possible
6:02
Speaker 5: that Iran can ever have a nuclear weapon. One man
6:05
Speaker 5: comes along and he does it. He is doing it
6:08
Speaker 5: right now in Iran, and everybody hates him for it.
6:12
Speaker 5: It makes no sense whatsoever that the hate for one
6:16
Speaker 5: person does away with 30 years of American history in
6:21
Speaker 5: every one of these leaders saying the identical thing, the
6:23
Speaker 5: same thing that Donald Trump has said for 25 years.
6:26
Speaker 5: Now he has the opportunity. He's doing it. Matt, make
6:29
Speaker 5: it make sense somehow.
6:31
Speaker 2: Well, it's because so much of politics is now just
6:33
Speaker 2: trying to spite the other side at any cost, even
6:36
Speaker 2: when the other side is right, and even when the
6:38
Speaker 2: other side did something you wanted them to do. You know,
6:41
Speaker 2: we've talked in the show in the past, too, about
6:43
Speaker 2: how you go back 30 years and You know, you
6:46
Speaker 2: listen to Democrats talk about the border and they sound
6:49
Speaker 2: pretty similar to Trump. Now, obviously, none of them took
6:52
Speaker 2: as severe and successful action as Trump did, but at
6:56
Speaker 2: least they said the right things rhetorically. Yeah, crime was
7:00
Speaker 2: another issue where I mean, the big crime legislation of
7:03
Speaker 2: the 90s was championed by Joe Biden. It was actually
7:07
Speaker 2: very successful. The murder rate went down, I think, 75
7:09
Speaker 2: percent or so throughout the 90s. And obviously, it was
7:12
Speaker 2: a ton of other policies as well in different cities. But,
7:16
Speaker 2: you know, the point being, the Democrats read our crime
7:19
Speaker 2: was actually acknowledging that crime was a bad thing. And
7:23
Speaker 2: For some reason, it was just 15, 20 years later,
7:28
Speaker 2: it's the exact opposite, where they are now the party
7:30
Speaker 2: that is pro-crime. And under Joe Biden, we saw in
7:33
Speaker 2: most major cities, doubling of the murder rate. It was
7:37
Speaker 2: the complete opposite. And now that Republicans want to fight crime,
7:40
Speaker 2: all of a sudden they're finding excuses for criminals. And
7:43
Speaker 2: it's damning in that it proves that they know what
7:47
Speaker 2: the right thing is morally and policy-wise and are choosing
7:51
Speaker 2: to pretend otherwise.
7:52
Speaker 5: And Matt, I think you have to ask the question,
7:54
Speaker 5: if they know the difference, why are they doing what
7:57
Speaker 5: they're doing? Is it only because of Donald Trump? I
8:00
Speaker 5: would say this. Donald Trump was the anti-establishment candidate that
8:04
Speaker 5: so many of us had always wanted in this country.
8:07
Speaker 5: I know I had for years said, if we could
8:09
Speaker 5: just get a businessman into the White House, someone that
8:13
Speaker 5: signed paychecks, and knew what it was like to run
8:16
Speaker 5: a business, he wouldn't run a business like our government
8:18
Speaker 5: has run, or he wouldn't run the government like our
8:21
Speaker 5: government is currently run. And since he came down the escalator,
8:24
Speaker 5: they have pushed back against him because he is not
8:27
Speaker 5: one of them. And the reason why is the greater ideology.
8:32
Speaker 5: You have the people on the left that want you
8:36
Speaker 5: to want everything from the government. They want government to
8:39
Speaker 5: be your answer for everything. They want to replace your
8:42
Speaker 5: God with with government, and that's what socialism is. And
8:46
Speaker 5: I have a clip here from Justice Clarence Thomas. He
8:49
Speaker 5: spoke last weekend. I don't know if you saw any
8:51
Speaker 5: of that, Matt, but I'm going to play a clip
8:54
Speaker 5: here for about a minute because he gets into this.
8:58
Speaker 5: He gets into progressivism and the Declaration of Independence and
9:01
Speaker 5: how they really don't match. You can't have one with
9:05
Speaker 5: the other. You've got to do away with one or
9:07
Speaker 5: the other.
9:07
Speaker 11: Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration
9:12
Speaker 11: of Independence and hence our form of government. It holds
9:17
Speaker 11: that our rights and our dignities come not from God,
9:21
Speaker 11: but from government. It requires of the people a subservience
9:27
Speaker 11: and weakness incompatible with a constitution premised on the transcendent
9:32
Speaker 11: origin of our rights. The century of progressivism did not
9:37
Speaker 11: go well. The European system that Wilson and the progressives
9:42
Speaker 11: scolded Americans for not adopting, which he called nearly perfect,
9:48
Speaker 11: led to the governments that caused the most awful century
9:51
Speaker 11: that the world has ever seen. Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, and Mao,
9:59
Speaker 11: all were intertwined. with the rise of progressivism and all
10:03
Speaker 11: were opposed to the natural rights on which our declaration
10:07
Speaker 11: are based. Many progressives expressed admiration for each of them
10:13
Speaker 11: shortly before their governments killed tens of millions of people.
10:18
Speaker 5: They killed tens of millions, and that's what it takes
10:22
Speaker 5: when you take away people's freedom. You have to shut
10:24
Speaker 5: them down. You have to keep them quiet. And I think, Matt,
10:27
Speaker 5: from 30,000 feet, that's what Donald Trump is doing. He
10:31
Speaker 5: is the only leader in this world right now that
10:34
Speaker 5: stands in that chasm between where they want to take
10:38
Speaker 5: us and where we used to be. Does that make sense?
10:42
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a popular internet meme where it's a
10:45
Speaker 2: photo of Trump and it says, you know, they're not
10:47
Speaker 2: after me, they're after you, I'm just in the way.
10:49
Speaker 2: You know, it's been posted 10 million times and it's
10:54
Speaker 2: true every single time. That really, you know, it... I
10:57
Speaker 2: think people realize like when, when liberals are attacking Donald Trump,
11:01
Speaker 2: if you ever sort of feel like you're taking it
11:04
Speaker 2: personally and you're like, wait, why am I taking this personally?
11:06
Speaker 2: If they're, if they're talking about, you know, the president, well,
11:09
Speaker 2: it's because, you know, deep down inside, it's really about you.
11:12
Speaker 2: And I would even, you know, I was never a
11:14
Speaker 2: big Mitt Romney fan back in 2012, but you know,
11:17
Speaker 2: I voted for him, obviously, but, When people would talk
11:19
Speaker 2: about Romney and all these horrible things about him, I
11:22
Speaker 2: realized they're really talking about me. It's not just the person.
11:27
Speaker 2: They do see us as one and the same. But no,
11:29
Speaker 2: Trump is a true anti-establishment candidate, and he is the
11:33
Speaker 2: greatest threat to the system there ever really has been.
11:35
Speaker 2: And he also proves that You know, there are so
11:39
Speaker 2: many issues where we pretend there is no solution. So
11:43
Speaker 2: immigration for how many decades was it? Well, we need
11:46
Speaker 2: a pathway to citizenship and blah, blah, blah, reform and 10,000
11:51
Speaker 2: pages of legislation that all coincidentally benefit the left. That's
11:55
Speaker 2: what we were told. And it turns out, no, there
11:57
Speaker 2: is actually a magical switch you can press and just
12:00
Speaker 2: solve the problem. It's the same with crime. It's always, oh,
12:04
Speaker 2: we need to improve socioeconomic factors and hire more teachers
12:08
Speaker 2: and have more after-school programs and lower poverty, and then
12:12
Speaker 2: that'll get rid of crime. Well, did El Salvador do
12:16
Speaker 2: a single one of those things when its murder rate
12:18
Speaker 2: went down 99%? No. And in fact, there are countless
12:22
Speaker 2: cases in America of cities that have put into place
12:25
Speaker 2: tough on crime policies and saw severe declines in crime,
12:29
Speaker 2: even as the poverty rate increased. So, you know, it's
12:33
Speaker 2: just one of the things about Trump is he just
12:35
Speaker 2: proves that certain things are doable. And psychologically, it has
12:39
Speaker 2: an impact. It tells voters not to buy the left's
12:42
Speaker 2: narrative and their obfuscation.
12:43
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with that. And, you know, for 50 years,
12:46
Speaker 5: we have tried all of those things. with socioeconomics in
12:51
Speaker 5: urban areas, it still didn't work. It still hasn't worked.
12:55
Speaker 5: Those people are still disadvantaged, and nothing the government did
12:59
Speaker 5: was successful, so we probably shouldn't even look at that.
13:03
Speaker 5: Have you looked at the race in Virginia that is
13:06
Speaker 5: taking place? There's an election Tuesday of this week, and
13:10
Speaker 5: One of the things that they are doing is they're
13:12
Speaker 5: going to vote on changing the Constitution. Now, they did
13:16
Speaker 5: this just five years ago. The people of Virginia decided
13:20
Speaker 5: to make gerrymandering illegal in the Constitution. Now they are
13:25
Speaker 5: voting to put it back in, and they're doing this
13:28
Speaker 5: because of Spanbarger, who is making a mess out of
13:30
Speaker 5: Virginia from the Second Amendment to now gerrymandering, bringing it back.
13:35
Speaker 5: By the way, there are only five Republicans in the
13:38
Speaker 5: entire state of Virginia in the House of Representatives. And
13:43
Speaker 5: this is a state that voted for Glenn Youngkin twice.
13:46
Speaker 5: Donald Trump only lost by 5%. So that would tell
13:50
Speaker 5: you that there are quite a bit of Republicans there
13:53
Speaker 5: in that state. 45, 50% of the state. It's just
13:57
Speaker 5: barely a little bit more Democrat than Republican. But they
14:00
Speaker 5: only have five representatives because they have gerrymandered completely, which
14:05
Speaker 5: is why when Glenn Youngkin was the governor, they voted
14:08
Speaker 5: for it. on a referendum and it worked. So now
14:12
Speaker 5: it's part of their constitution and Spanberger is bringing it back.
14:16
Speaker 5: And Senator Tim Kaine from the state of Virginia, he
14:18
Speaker 5: was on with Shannon Bream Sunday. And here is a
14:21
Speaker 5: little bit of that.
14:22
Speaker 14: Listen, let's talk about the last vote there in Virginia,
14:25
Speaker 14: the presidential vote. Vice President Kamala Harris won by about
14:28
Speaker 14: five percentage points. So the state is relatively split with
14:31
Speaker 14: a left lean, but 90% of House members from Virginia
14:34
Speaker 14: being from one party?
14:35
Speaker 15: 90% of Virginians are not Democrats.
14:38
Speaker 5: That's true.
14:38
Speaker 15: But about 100% of Virginians want election results.
14:42
Speaker 5: To be respected.
14:43
Speaker 15: We're deeply worried that Donald Trump will try to interfere
14:46
Speaker 15: with the election results this November or in 2028 because
14:50
Speaker 15: we saw him do it before. And we have to
14:52
Speaker 15: have a Congress that will stand up to it. In 2021,
14:56
Speaker 15: all five Republicans in Virginia went along with Donald Trump
15:00
Speaker 15: in his effort to overturn election results. And so we're
15:02
Speaker 15: giving Virginians a chance to vote, which Republican states have
15:06
Speaker 15: not done, about whether they want to have a congressional
15:09
Speaker 15: delegation that will stand up against Donald Trump's tyranny.
15:12
Speaker 5: I don't understand, Matt, how these people can just lie
15:15
Speaker 5: like they do with no consequences. Donald Trump didn't try
15:20
Speaker 5: to overturn an election. He tried to get an election
15:23
Speaker 5: looked at. That was the whole purpose of everything that happened.
15:27
Speaker 5: after that election in 2020. I have a little bit
15:30
Speaker 5: of news coming up also a little bit later about
15:32
Speaker 5: Sidney Powell in that election from 2020. But there you
15:36
Speaker 5: have it. This is on the ballot now. By the way,
15:38
Speaker 5: the governor, the new governor of Virginia, who was just
15:41
Speaker 5: elected last November, her approval rating is now down to
15:44
Speaker 5: 47 percent.
15:45
Speaker 2: Was manipulating election results, he would have won by, like,
15:48
Speaker 2: 50 points in 2020, maybe even more. I mean, it
15:53
Speaker 2: seemed like he was trying to make it, though, it
15:55
Speaker 2: sounds like something Trump is currently doing in elections. And, again,
16:00
Speaker 2: if that's the case, like, I almost wish he was,
16:03
Speaker 2: just we're getting smoked in every special election there is.
16:06
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm in Morris County, and we got redistricted,
16:09
Speaker 2: so now Essex County, which is very, very left-leaning, is
16:12
Speaker 2: now part of our district. But a socialist just won
16:15
Speaker 2: in a 60-40 blowout in our district. And even if
16:19
Speaker 2: you just look at my county, I believe it was
16:22
Speaker 2: still a nine-point win for the socialists. So the Democrats
16:26
Speaker 2: are benefiting from very low turnout in that. Listen, if
16:30
Speaker 2: you have an area where in a special election, you know,
16:34
Speaker 2: 10% of people vote, but you get 15% of Democrats
16:39
Speaker 2: to turn out, like, that 5 percentage points is 50%
16:44
Speaker 2: more than the 10 percentage points of Republicans that are
16:47
Speaker 2: going to turn out. So you could easily get these
16:49
Speaker 2: crazy lopsided results, which is what we're seeing in all
16:52
Speaker 2: these special elections. And With Virginia, yes, I predict that
16:56
Speaker 2: the voters, you know, it's going to seem paradoxical. How
16:59
Speaker 2: could the voters vote to ban gerrymandering and then also
17:04
Speaker 2: add an amendment undoing that? Well, because different people are
17:07
Speaker 2: going to be turning out. The turnout's going to be
17:09
Speaker 2: very low, and it's going to be every federal worker
17:12
Speaker 2: in Virginia is going to turn out. So I predict
17:15
Speaker 2: that she's going to get her way with this.
17:17
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you're right.
17:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I will say, you know, Spanberger presented herself
17:23
Speaker 2: as a moderate during the campaign and is now doing
17:28
Speaker 2: all this crazy left-wing stuff. And I thought at first, like, well,
17:33
Speaker 2: at least the good news is Democrats at least have
17:36
Speaker 2: to pretend to be moderate to get elected. But I
17:38
Speaker 2: don't think, I actually now don't think it mattered, given that,
17:41
Speaker 2: you know, my district just elected a socialist and she
17:43
Speaker 2: did not hide her beliefs whatsoever. So I do think
17:46
Speaker 2: the base really is totally on board with it.
17:48
Speaker 5: I'm starting to believe that, too. I looked into the
17:50
Speaker 5: Michigan Senate race this past week, and Bernie Sanders' candidate
17:55
Speaker 5: is now leading for the Democrats in the primary, and
17:58
Speaker 5: Elizabeth Warren's candidate is right there neck and neck. Both
18:03
Speaker 5: of them are socialists.
18:04
Speaker 2: Sanders socialist candidate would not condemn an Islamic terror attack
18:10
Speaker 2: because he was worried he would get blowback in Dearborn,
18:14
Speaker 2: Michigan and lose support there. So those are the kind
18:16
Speaker 2: of people are with it. He recently, I've drawn a
18:18
Speaker 2: blank on his name, but it's an Arab name.
18:20
Speaker 5: Yes, it is.
18:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, he shared a stage with Hassan Piker, who is
18:26
Speaker 2: a left-wing internet personality who openly says that America deserved 9-11.
18:32
Speaker 2: He is a propagandist for Hezbollah and, for whatever reason,
18:37
Speaker 2: has gotten away without registering for FARA. So these are
18:40
Speaker 2: the kind of people he's associating with and is doing
18:43
Speaker 2: quite well in the polls, it seems. And when you
18:45
Speaker 2: look at his competition, it's not surprising.
18:47
Speaker 5: Well, and then you have Mike Rogers, the Republican that...
18:50
Speaker 5: will probably be the person that runs on the Republican side.
18:54
Speaker 5: He was endorsed by Donald Trump in 24. Republicans, MAGA
18:59
Speaker 5: people did not support Mike Rogers, and he got beat
19:02
Speaker 5: by 20,000 votes by an actual CIA operative deep stater
19:07
Speaker 5: in Alyssa Slotkin. So now she's the senator for six years.
19:11
Speaker 5: Mike Rogers got beat by 20,000 votes because Republicans didn't
19:14
Speaker 5: show up, and that is a continuing pattern we're seeing.
19:17
Speaker 2: The crazy thing about Slotkin is if every single person
19:22
Speaker 2: in the state that voted for Donald Trump had voted
19:25
Speaker 2: for Rogers, Slotkin would have lost. But there was like 100,000
19:29
Speaker 2: Republicans who did not vote for either one in the
19:32
Speaker 2: Senate race, and they literally lost that race.
19:34
Speaker 5: Well, you know, and one thing that I kept seeing,
19:36
Speaker 5: we were doing a Senate initiative And Mike Rogers was
19:40
Speaker 5: one of the candidates we were supporting. And many of
19:43
Speaker 5: us were getting cussed out daily by MAGA because they
19:47
Speaker 5: said Mike Rogers was a deep stater. And I'm like,
19:49
Speaker 5: well he your president Donald Trump your guy endorsed him
19:54
Speaker 5: so now you're smarter than Donald Trump is there's a
19:57
Speaker 5: reason why Donald Trump endorsed him because he can win
19:59
Speaker 5: this race and they just decided not to vote for
20:02
Speaker 5: either one of them and the number 130,000 less people
20:06
Speaker 5: voted for Mike Rogers than voted for Donald Trump If
20:10
Speaker 5: every one of them had voted for Mike Rogers, he
20:12
Speaker 5: would have beat Slotkin by 110,000. That's the numbers on that.
20:16
Speaker 5: You heard a little bit of Joe Biden there when
20:18
Speaker 5: I played that clip of all the Democrats and also
20:20
Speaker 5: George Bush, who was in that mix as well, talking
20:23
Speaker 5: about Iran. Well, Biden was back giving a speech over
20:27
Speaker 5: the weekend. Did you see that? He was in Syracuse.
20:30
Speaker 5: I guess it was last week, Syracuse Law School.
20:34
Speaker 2: I missed it. I'm sure it was very enlightening.
20:36
Speaker 5: Well, let's listen to a little bit. Here's 10 seconds
20:39
Speaker 5: of Joe Biden and his speech at Syracuse Law School.
20:43
Speaker 9: You know, I got married in Canada after my first
20:45
Speaker 9: year in law school with a huge reception thrown by
20:48
Speaker 9: the Hunter family.
20:50
Speaker 5: Did you get anything out of that, Matt?
20:52
Speaker 2: He went to law school.
20:54
Speaker 5: That's it. And the Hunter family threw him a party.
20:57
Speaker 5: One more time, Joe Biden giving a speech. I wonder
20:59
Speaker 5: how much he was paid to say this.
21:03
Speaker 9: You know, I got married in Canada after my first
21:05
Speaker 9: year in law school with a huge reception thrown by
21:08
Speaker 9: the Hunter family.
21:09
Speaker 5: The Hunter family threw him a reception.
21:11
Speaker 1: More Truth in Minutes on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
21:15
Speaker 5: Someone asked me the other day, how do you even
21:17
Speaker 5: get a sense of what's going to happen next? It's hard.
21:21
Speaker 5: I don't know that we can the way the news
21:22
Speaker 5: moves so fast. But you know what I told them?
21:26
Speaker 5: I said, I've been checking out Polly Market a little bit.
21:29
Speaker 5: It's extremely insightful. You're basically watching how thousands of people
21:34
Speaker 5: are betting on outcomes. Political elections, big policy moves, even
21:39
Speaker 5: events you wouldn't expect. It's kind of like a live
21:43
Speaker 5: pulse on what the public actually believes. And you can
21:47
Speaker 5: see trends before they even happen, and before they even
21:51
Speaker 5: make the mainstream news. For me, it's not about gambling.
21:56
Speaker 5: It's about understanding the probabilities and where the momentum is shifting.
22:00
Speaker 5: If you like or love the news like I do,
22:03
Speaker 5: maybe you're a news junkie, but you want to take
22:05
Speaker 5: a little deeper look at what people really think, go
22:08
Speaker 5: to Polymarket. It's a fascinating tool. Polymarket.com. Oh, there is
22:22
Speaker 5: so much to talk about. You have a ram, you
22:26
Speaker 5: have I guess they're calling it a skinny reconciliation bill
22:30
Speaker 5: trying to get the government open back up for DHS
22:34
Speaker 5: and ICE. And I don't like that idea, Matt. And
22:37
Speaker 5: let me tell you why. I'm going to tell you why.
22:40
Speaker 5: Reconciliations are allowed, and it only takes 51 votes. And
22:44
Speaker 5: two of them are allowed in a year, but it
22:47
Speaker 5: has never been done. It was attempted in Donald Trump's
22:50
Speaker 5: first presidency. It didn't work. And if the Republicans waste
22:54
Speaker 5: their reconciliation this year on only the DHS portion of
22:59
Speaker 5: the appropriations from last year, then what are they going
23:02
Speaker 5: to do about what they need to do coming up
23:05
Speaker 5: before September 30th, which is pass another reconciliation, or the
23:10
Speaker 5: government is going to be shut down the entire time
23:12
Speaker 5: during the election window for the midterm election. And that
23:15
Speaker 5: will just be a doomsday for the Republicans.
23:19
Speaker 2: I agree.
23:21
Speaker 5: That's all you got? I agree.
23:23
Speaker 2: I know you were just explaining it to me.
23:26
Speaker 5: I didn't know if you had a comment. Do you
23:28
Speaker 5: have a comment?
23:28
Speaker 13: No?
23:29
Speaker 2: No, I thought I was getting a lecture here. I
23:32
Speaker 2: didn't realize that.
23:34
Speaker 5: Did it sound like a lecture? Is that what it
23:38
Speaker 5: sounded like?
23:38
Speaker 2: You were explaining the rule. I thought there was more
23:40
Speaker 2: to come. You said they've never used bulk reconciliations in
23:44
Speaker 2: a year, is what you were saying.
23:48
Speaker 5: Well, it's never happened. They have tried. It's been attempted.
23:52
Speaker 5: It's very difficult to get too past because it's never
23:55
Speaker 5: been done. So they're going to waste this one on
23:58
Speaker 5: this little skinny DHS portion of an appropriations that really
24:02
Speaker 5: and truly, if we're honest with each other, the Republicans
24:05
Speaker 5: should have used their reconciliation prior to last September 30th.
24:10
Speaker 5: And then none of the government shutdowns would have happened otherwise.
24:13
Speaker 5: They would have lost none of the narrative, but instead,
24:16
Speaker 5: because they didn't do that, the Democrats have shut down
24:19
Speaker 5: the government a couple of times. And ultimately it's up
24:22
Speaker 5: to the Republicans to pass that budget in some form,
24:25
Speaker 5: whether it's done through the 60 votes in the Senate,
24:29
Speaker 5: which would never happen with the Democrats. So you just
24:32
Speaker 5: take them out of the mix completely. You cut spending again,
24:35
Speaker 5: then you do it just like the big, beautiful bill.
24:38
Speaker 5: And then you pass it with reconciliation. That's what needs
24:41
Speaker 5: to happen, and unfortunately, I just don't know that the
24:45
Speaker 5: Republicans are going to be able to do it. Again,
24:47
Speaker 5: they're working on something right now that should have been
24:50
Speaker 5: done last September. Meanwhile, if you look ahead on the calendar,
24:54
Speaker 5: September is what, six, seven months away? And we're working
24:57
Speaker 5: on September that was six or seven months behind us.
25:00
Speaker 5: So I don't have a lot of confidence that it's
25:04
Speaker 5: going to be done. It's five months away.
25:06
Speaker 6: Yeah.
25:07
Speaker 5: Oh, it's five months. Okay, well, we're five months ahead,
25:09
Speaker 5: and we're still working on something. from seven months behind,
25:12
Speaker 5: and they still haven't done that. Let's talk about Eric Swalwell.
25:15
Speaker 5: We talked about it a little bit last week, and
25:18
Speaker 5: both of us, I think, at the time were, well,
25:20
Speaker 5: let's wait and see where these allegations go. However, both
25:23
Speaker 5: of us can't stand Eric Swalwell, and we're glad it
25:26
Speaker 5: was happening. However, it was obvious to both of us
25:29
Speaker 5: it was a hit job from the get-go because of
25:33
Speaker 5: what was happening in that California race, which, by the way,
25:36
Speaker 5: now Democrats want to change it. They want to change
25:38
Speaker 5: it to ranked choice voting. Instead of the top two,
25:42
Speaker 5: the way it works in California, if you missed last week,
25:44
Speaker 5: the top two vote-getters in the primary, regardless of their
25:48
Speaker 5: political party, they go on to the general election. Steve
25:52
Speaker 5: Hilton and Chad Bianco, a sheriff in California, they were
25:56
Speaker 5: the top polling at the top, and there were so
25:58
Speaker 5: many Democrats running. that it was probably going to be
26:01
Speaker 5: tough for a Democrat to get in the top two.
26:03
Speaker 5: Eric Swalwell was the leader. He's out now, and it is, what,
26:09
Speaker 5: Tom Steyer is now leading in the polls. You're going
26:12
Speaker 5: to end up getting another Democrat, and probably one that's
26:15
Speaker 5: worse than Gavin Newsom, if you want to be honest
26:17
Speaker 5: about it. So Tom Steyer will end up winning that
26:20
Speaker 5: race in California because of what they did to Eric Swalwell.
26:23
Speaker 5: And ultimately, it's not what they did to Eric Swalwell.
26:26
Speaker 5: It's who Eric Swalwell is. And I find it interesting
26:29
Speaker 5: that they knew all of this for years, and they
26:34
Speaker 5: had all of this information, but they waited until the
26:37
Speaker 5: time to use it. And I think that says a
26:39
Speaker 5: lot about how things in Congress work. Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff,
26:45
Speaker 5: they propped him up for years and years. And they
26:49
Speaker 5: probably had all this information then, and maybe that's why
26:52
Speaker 5: he was out front saying the things that he was.
26:54
Speaker 5: And then when he was no longer useful, All of
26:57
Speaker 5: that information was used against him. That's the way I
26:59
Speaker 5: see it.
27:00
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and it makes the whole Feng Feng story
27:04
Speaker 2: even that more damning in that this guy was very
27:06
Speaker 2: susceptible to sexual blackmail. And obviously that's one of the
27:10
Speaker 2: last things we want in someone who– I think he
27:13
Speaker 2: was on the Intel committee. Am I wrong?
27:15
Speaker 5: Yes, no, he was.
27:16
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, so he's still on the Intel committee. But yes,
27:20
Speaker 2: it was all manufactured. And, you know, whenever Democrats or
27:23
Speaker 2: the media are doing the right thing, it's not because
27:27
Speaker 2: they want to do the right thing. It's because they
27:28
Speaker 2: want to help the Democratic Party. And I think I
27:31
Speaker 2: pointed this out last week, like, you know, after the
27:33
Speaker 2: first and only Biden-Trump debate, all of a sudden, every
27:38
Speaker 2: liberal in the media and in Congress was the voice
27:41
Speaker 2: of reason on, you know, Biden, I guess he's not
27:44
Speaker 2: there mentally. And, We need to get him out. And,
27:47
Speaker 2: you know, many of these same exact people were calling
27:50
Speaker 2: people conspiracy theorists for suggesting that Biden wasn't there. Jake
27:54
Speaker 2: Tapper comes to mind where he berated Lara Trump.
27:57
Speaker 9: Yeah.
27:58
Speaker 2: Years prior for claiming that Biden might not be all
28:01
Speaker 2: there mentally and then was– I think he actually ended
28:03
Speaker 2: up writing an entire book on the cover-up, which is
28:06
Speaker 2: hilarious because he was part of the cover-up. But yeah,
28:09
Speaker 2: so that's why they sacrificed Swalwell. Although one question I
28:14
Speaker 2: have that you probably know the answer to is if
28:16
Speaker 2: the runoff does go between two Republicans facing each other–
28:21
Speaker 2: Can a Democrat run as an independent? Because I think
28:25
Speaker 2: they would still have a path to victory in that scenario.
28:28
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't think that they can. I don't know
28:29
Speaker 5: for sure. I think the way it works in California
28:33
Speaker 5: is they pile everybody in there, regardless of party, including independents.
28:38
Speaker 5: And it comes down to two. It comes down to
28:40
Speaker 5: two at the end.
28:41
Speaker 2: My question was, if you can then launch a nonpartisan,
28:44
Speaker 2: what's the point of getting rid of 12? That makes
28:46
Speaker 2: way more.
28:46
Speaker 5: Sense to me. And then also this week we had
28:49
Speaker 5: Tony Gonzalez, a Republican. He retired and resigned from the
28:54
Speaker 5: House of Representatives. We have news coming out about Corey Mills. That,
28:58
Speaker 5: I believe, will come out this week. And then you
29:00
Speaker 5: also have Sheila Scherfilis McCormick from South Florida who stole $ 5. 5
29:06
Speaker 5: million and is still right there in Congress. I want
29:10
Speaker 5: to go to this compilation of Eric Swalwell, though, because
29:13
Speaker 5: here is the hypocrisy of this person, this man. this
29:17
Speaker 5: uh democrat this liberal anyway here's eric swallow.
29:21
Speaker 16: For brett kavanaugh's sake if he is innocent i hope
29:24
Speaker 16: tomorrow he opens his statement and says you know what
29:27
Speaker 16: bring in all the victims it's really focus on like
29:31
Speaker 16: serious violent sexual those three if you like throw the
29:36
Speaker 16: book at those three don't wear masks in our community
29:39
Speaker 16: you're terrorizing women Real men don't terrorize women. There's one
29:42
Speaker 16: group who has always known the danger of Donald Trump,
29:45
Speaker 16: and that's women. As somebody who has spent my time
29:49
Speaker 16: in Congress working to stand up for the rights of victims,
29:51
Speaker 16: sexual assault victims deserve justice.
29:54
Speaker 5: This is the most damning part of all of this.
29:56
Speaker 3: With Swalwell, obviously, we believe that innocent until proven guilty,
30:00
Speaker 3: there's a legal process to go through.
30:02
Speaker 5: But he doesn't believe it.
30:04
Speaker 3: His words for past allegations against other people, he had
30:07
Speaker 3: a certain standard. And it's gonna be very hard to
30:10
Speaker 3: escape the words that he used for others for his situation.
30:14
Speaker 5: And you know, I'm listening to Lawrence there, Matt, and
30:16
Speaker 5: then I'm feeling bad about how much slack we gave
30:19
Speaker 5: Swalwell last week because we gave him a lot. He
30:22
Speaker 5: didn't give anybody any slack at all through the years,
30:25
Speaker 5: did he?
30:26
Speaker 2: No, and you know, last week we were saying that
30:29
Speaker 2: It seems like he is not necessarily committing sexual assault
30:33
Speaker 2: or rape. He is the kind of guy who would
30:37
Speaker 2: pressure women where they're put in this gray area where, yes,
30:41
Speaker 2: they're still choosing to sleep with him, but there was
30:45
Speaker 2: pressure put on them. Women, since we recorded that video,
30:51
Speaker 2: have come out with far more explicit depictions of encounters
30:57
Speaker 2: with him. There was one that retained Gloria Allred's daughter
31:01
Speaker 2: as a lawyer. I don't know her name, unfortunately, but
31:03
Speaker 2: I believe she was the fifth accused to come forward. And,
31:06
Speaker 2: you know, listen, to be perfectly fair to Eric Swalwell,
31:09
Speaker 2: even though he has never been to anyone else, Or
31:12
Speaker 2: Lisa Bloom is the lawyer's name. She has pushed a
31:16
Speaker 2: lot of hoaxes in the past. I believe she took
31:20
Speaker 2: part in the Brett Kavanaugh witch hunt. So she's not
31:23
Speaker 2: the most credible person ever, but it is her client
31:25
Speaker 2: we're talking about. Regardless, best case scenario for Eric Swalwell
31:30
Speaker 2: is he cheated on his wife and made himself a
31:33
Speaker 2: national security risk. So that's the absolute best case scenario
31:37
Speaker 2: and not a great place to be in.
31:40
Speaker 5: No, he could be going to prison, actually. Another thing
31:43
Speaker 5: that he will be getting for the rest of his
31:45
Speaker 5: life is a pension. You know, he gets a pension
31:48
Speaker 5: from Congress for the rest of his life. It only
31:50
Speaker 5: takes serving for five years. So when you look at
31:53
Speaker 5: these other people, Bob Menendez up there in your neck
31:56
Speaker 5: of the woods in New Jersey, you know, he's going
31:58
Speaker 5: to get a pension for the rest of his life
32:00
Speaker 5: because he was there forever. Let's go to Josh Hawley
32:03
Speaker 5: and his words on Eric Swalwell this week.
32:05
Speaker 17: Have any doubt about it, Jesse, because he had become
32:08
Speaker 17: a liability. And you pointed out she knew all about this.
32:11
Speaker 17: She was briefed by the FBI back in 2020.
32:15
Speaker 5: He's talking about Nancy Pelosi. And this is what I
32:18
Speaker 5: was talking about earlier. She knew everything about Eric Swalwell.
32:21
Speaker 5: She was briefed by the FBI about Feng Feng, and
32:24
Speaker 5: they still put her on the Intel committee.
32:27
Speaker 17: That the guy was a target of a Chinese spy,
32:29
Speaker 17: Feng Feng. And by the way, Feng Feng probably got
32:31
Speaker 17: a medal of commendation. That's like the worst espionage assignment
32:34
Speaker 17: in the history of the world.
32:36
Speaker 5: But Swalwell fell for it.
32:37
Speaker 1: She knew that he was a liability. She knew he
32:40
Speaker 1: was a problem.
32:40
Speaker 17: She could use it as leverage until it blew up
32:42
Speaker 17: in her face, and now he's gone. And, Jesse, this
32:45
Speaker 17: is why Congress needs to pass legislation— I' m introducing it today— that
32:49
Speaker 17: would deny pensions to every member of Congress who's convicted
32:53
Speaker 17: of a sex offense. right now, you could be convicted
32:56
Speaker 17: and still get your pension. The only thing the government
32:59
Speaker 17: ought to be paying for for people like Eric Swalwell
33:02
Speaker 17: is a jail cell.
33:02
Speaker 5: And I hope that happens, but I hope this legislation
33:06
Speaker 5: also goes somewhere and gets passed. They shouldn't be sitting
33:09
Speaker 5: in a jail cell. They shouldn't be doing things because
33:11
Speaker 5: of the power that they have in Congress. They get arrested,
33:15
Speaker 5: they get convicted, and then they get their pension for life.
33:18
Speaker 5: I just don't think that that's right. I think there
33:20
Speaker 5: are a lot of things that we need to look
33:23
Speaker 5: at when it comes to these pensions. Marjorie Taylor Greene
33:25
Speaker 5: was another one. We talked about it on this program
33:27
Speaker 5: back then. She decided to resign and retire from the
33:30
Speaker 5: House of Representatives, and she made the effective date one
33:36
Speaker 5: day after her fifth year so that she got pensioned.
33:40
Speaker 5: And I found that very interesting. And we're really, the
33:43
Speaker 5: people are really the only ones that can do anything
33:46
Speaker 5: about it. When we get frustrated enough, then we will.
33:49
Speaker 5: Let's go to the Pope, because Pope and Trump were
33:52
Speaker 5: in the news all last week. What did you make
33:55
Speaker 5: of all of that? Was it just a bunch of noise?
33:58
Speaker 2: It seems like it. It seems like the Pope is
33:59
Speaker 2: not taking it too seriously. But, yeah, that's really all
34:03
Speaker 2: I saw.
34:05
Speaker 6: Listen, I.
34:07
Speaker 2: I, you know, listen, when the media does this thing,
34:11
Speaker 2: whenever there's a new pope, where they try to make
34:13
Speaker 2: them into a liberal image and they'll focus on like
34:17
Speaker 2: a general criticism of Donald Trump, maybe a pro-immigration comment
34:22
Speaker 2: or a pro-environmental comment. And I'm seeing Chuck Schumer did
34:27
Speaker 2: a speech on the Senate floor praising the Pope. There
34:29
Speaker 2: are a bunch of Democrats tweeting out, I'm on Team Pope.
34:32
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking, really? What are your thoughts on the
34:36
Speaker 2: Pope's stance on homosexuality or abortion or gay adoption or
34:41
Speaker 2: IVF or contraception? Like, come on. It's just you're using
34:46
Speaker 2: Christianity as a prop for your own beliefs.
34:50
Speaker 18: It's hypocrisy.
34:52
Speaker 2: That's what annoyed me it's like you guys don't believe
34:54
Speaker 2: a word of this you're just trying to get a
34:55
Speaker 2: dig in on trump and even the pope isn't really
34:58
Speaker 2: engaging he knew to brush it off and not take
35:00
Speaker 2: it too seriously.
35:01
Speaker 5: Yeah i've got that clip i'll play it here in
35:02
Speaker 5: a minute first let's listen to representative troy nails a
35:05
Speaker 5: former military guy smoking a cigar as he takes this
35:10
Speaker 5: reporter's questions any reaction to uh donald trump's comments on
35:14
Speaker 5: the pope over the weekend.
35:16
Speaker 19: I'd probably say the Pope needs to keep his business
35:18
Speaker 19: into leading his flock, so to speak, leading the church,
35:22
Speaker 19: and probably stay out of the political arena. He doesn't
35:24
Speaker 19: need to be getting involved in the political arena. Go
35:27
Speaker 19: lead your church, but stay out of the politics. We
35:30
Speaker 19: didn't elect the Pope to be the president or be
35:33
Speaker 19: anything else.
35:34
Speaker 5: So just keep his nose open.
35:36
Speaker 19: In the church's business and stay out of the political arena.
35:38
Speaker 5: What if he sees his role as sort of leading
35:40
Speaker 5: his flock away?
35:41
Speaker 19: Lead his flock? Well, let's focus on just behavior, doing
35:43
Speaker 19: everything else. Just focus on your flock. Donald Trump is
35:47
Speaker 19: our president. It's not the Pope. I didn't elect the
35:49
Speaker 19: Pope to be president.
35:50
Speaker 5: I think that's some good advice. No one elected the
35:53
Speaker 5: Pope to be president. Let's stay focused on the things
35:57
Speaker 5: that we should be focused on. That's Representative Troy Nels there.
36:00
Speaker 5: I think he is spot on on that. but there
36:04
Speaker 5: were other people that made comments. You mentioned the Pope
36:07
Speaker 5: having his own comment. Let's listen to him. I believe
36:10
Speaker 5: he was trying to clean this up. Maybe he should
36:13
Speaker 5: have done this a little bit sooner, but he did
36:15
Speaker 5: eventually anyway, and here is that clip.
36:18
Speaker 20: There's been a certain narrative that has not been accurate
36:22
Speaker 20: in all of its aspects, but because of the political
36:25
Speaker 20: situation created when on the first day of the trip,
36:30
Speaker 20: the President of the United States made some comments about
36:33
Speaker 20: about myself. Much of what has been written since then
36:36
Speaker 20: has been more commentary on commentary, trying to interpret what
36:41
Speaker 20: has been said. Just one little example, the talk that
36:46
Speaker 20: I gave at the prayer meeting for peace a couple
36:51
Speaker 20: days ago was prepared two weeks ago, well before the
36:54
Speaker 20: president ever commented on myself and on the message of
36:59
Speaker 20: peace that I am promoting. And yet, As it happens,
37:03
Speaker 20: it was looked at as if I was trying to debate, again,
37:06
Speaker 20: the president, which is not in my interest at all.
37:09
Speaker 5: I believe that, Matt. I think that that's probably true.
37:12
Speaker 5: I don't think that he was trying to debate the president.
37:14
Speaker 5: And I think we should just leave it alone before
37:16
Speaker 5: we spend too much energy on something that really, really
37:20
Speaker 5: doesn't even matter.
37:21
Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say one funny thing about Trump's Truth
37:24
Speaker 2: Social post criticizing the Pope was he said something like,
37:28
Speaker 2: I like his brother way more. That's because his brother
37:31
Speaker 2: is like a huge Trump supporter.
37:33
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's down here near me, Matt. The Pope's brother
37:36
Speaker 5: lives near me, and he is a huge MAGA guy. Yeah,
37:40
Speaker 5: he's down in southwest Florida, not too far from me.
37:43
Speaker 5: But yeah, he's a huge MAGA guy, and that would
37:46
Speaker 5: be a good idea. I should try to get him.
37:48
Speaker 2: That would be so cool.
37:49
Speaker 5: Did you see Bill Maher over the weekend? And he
37:51
Speaker 5: was talking really very similar to what you were saying
37:54
Speaker 5: a few minutes ago about the hypocrisy of the left
37:57
Speaker 5: and how they use whatever it is they need to use.
38:00
Speaker 5: So let's just go to Bill Maher. We'll let him
38:02
Speaker 5: tell you exactly what he said.
38:05
Speaker 21: I love hypocritical America.
38:06
Speaker 5: I really do.
38:07
Speaker 21: See, liberals suddenly love the Pope. The Pope, who two
38:10
Speaker 21: weeks ago was all in the headlines. You know why?
38:13
Speaker 5: Exorcism.
38:14
Speaker 1: Yeah, this big thing about we got to exorcise.
38:15
Speaker 21: The demons are all around.
38:16
Speaker 2: The devil.
38:17
Speaker 1: That's who the Pope is, okay?
38:19
Speaker 21: A guy who does exorcism, doesn't believe in gay marriage,
38:22
Speaker 21: no women priests. But now, because he's feuding with Trump,
38:25
Speaker 21: MSNBC loves this guy. He's got a big speech on
38:28
Speaker 21: the floor from Chuck Schumer. Eric Swalwell sent a big pic.
38:32
Speaker 6: Wow.
38:35
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what you were talking about.
38:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so good for Bill.
38:39
Speaker 5: Yeah, and don't get fooled by him. He votes for Democrats.
38:43
Speaker 5: He is not a Republican, not a conservative. But, you know,
38:46
Speaker 5: I find him funny sometimes. I've never had a problem
38:49
Speaker 5: with him.
38:49
Speaker 2: There's five minutes of every episode where you're like, wow,
38:52
Speaker 2: this guy really gets it. And then the rest of
38:54
Speaker 2: the episode is the dumbest thing you've ever heard.
38:55
Speaker 5: Yeah, and then you watch his podcast where he's smoking pot,
38:58
Speaker 5: and it's a completely different person. We're going to continue
39:01
Speaker 5: on with the conversation. We're going to talk about Sudan
39:04
Speaker 5: and the civil war that's happening there.
39:06
Speaker 22: I don't know about you, but the one thing the
39:08
Speaker 22: last five or so years has taught me is that
39:10
Speaker 22: there's a lot, and I mean a lot, of companies
39:13
Speaker 22: and services out there that don't share the foundational values
39:16
Speaker 22: of this country and we the people. And I've spoken
39:18
Speaker 22: to a lot of you about it who share the
39:20
Speaker 22: same concerns, and you wonder where to shop, where to
39:23
Speaker 22: spend your hard-earned money without feeling gross about it. It
39:25
Speaker 22: can be frustrating. But here's the good news. You don't
39:28
Speaker 22: have to do the research yourself. and you don't have
39:30
Speaker 22: to tie yourself up in knots any longer, because we've
39:33
Speaker 22: done the legwork for you. At mammothnation.com, we have thousands
39:36
Speaker 22: of vetted, freedom-loving, pro-America companies who actually share your values.
39:41
Speaker 2: So now, the ball's in your court.

Speaker 5: Welcome back to the program here on a Monday night.
40:28
Speaker 5: I'm Booker Scott along with Matt Palumbo. Great to have you.
40:31
Speaker 5: Really do appreciate it. Whether you're listening live or you
40:33
Speaker 5: found us later on a podcast, we're here to help you.
40:35
Speaker 5: on one of many platforms, about 50 of them in total.
40:39
Speaker 5: So thank you for being here. I appreciate it. Let's
40:41
Speaker 5: talk about Sudan and a terrible war that nobody is
40:45
Speaker 5: talking about, Matt. Nobody is talking about what's going on
40:48
Speaker 5: in Sudan, including the Pope. The Pope hasn't mentioned it.
40:51
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing. I do hate when someone draws
40:57
Speaker 2: attention to an issue and people always go, well, why
40:59
Speaker 2: aren't you covering this bigger issue? Well, this kind of
41:02
Speaker 2: is the bigger issue. There's hundreds of thousands dead, millions displaced,
41:08
Speaker 2: and Sudan already broke into two countries. I think it
41:11
Speaker 2: was 2011, I think we got South Sudan as a
41:12
Speaker 2: new country.
41:13
Speaker 5: Some of the people that fled Sudan went to South Sudan,
41:17
Speaker 5: where you're talking about. The numbers are astounding. 400,000 people
41:21
Speaker 5: have died. You have 8 million kids that haven't been
41:24
Speaker 5: to a school in three years now. This war has
41:27
Speaker 5: been going on for three years. You have 30 million
41:30
Speaker 5: people that are near starvation, and nobody's talking about it.
41:33
Speaker 5: By the way, guess who was involved in the war?
41:37
Speaker 5: Iran and Russia. And nobody is talking about this war.
41:42
Speaker 2: Well, that thing, too, is that my understanding is one
41:44
Speaker 2: of the main groups is called the RSF. You know,
41:48
Speaker 2: this isn't like an issue I'm extremely knowledgeable about, but
41:52
Speaker 2: I know one of the sides, and I believe it's
41:54
Speaker 2: the RSF, is aligned with Islamists. So, you know, even
41:58
Speaker 2: if you were to say, like, this isn't an American issue,
42:00
Speaker 2: why should we care? It could be down the line
42:03
Speaker 2: for sure.
42:04
Speaker 5: And it's because of Russia and Iran. And by the way,
42:07
Speaker 5: Saturday night, there was an Iranian national that was arrested
42:11
Speaker 5: in Los Angeles by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. And
42:14
Speaker 5: they allege that she brokered deals to sell Iranian-made drones, bombs,
42:21
Speaker 5: bomb fuses, assault weapons, and millions of rounds of ammunition
42:25
Speaker 5: to Sudan. And this is according to a newly unsealed
42:30
Speaker 5: criminal complaint. And I'm not sure of this woman's name exactly,
42:34
Speaker 5: but she's 44 years old in California. And she was
42:38
Speaker 5: arrested for stealing or selling arms to Sudan where this
42:42
Speaker 5: war is going on. She's an Iranian. And if you
42:45
Speaker 5: look where Sudan is, it's on the Red Sea. It
42:48
Speaker 5: has the port of Sudan, which is very important, directly
42:52
Speaker 5: across from Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Who is in Yemen?
42:57
Speaker 5: The Houthis in Iran. So you can see how all
43:00
Speaker 5: of this sort of fits together. And it's again, we're
43:03
Speaker 5: not talking about it. So we're taking the time here
43:05
Speaker 5: to talk about it just a little bit. And I
43:08
Speaker 5: hope it brings enough attention where people start paying attention
43:12
Speaker 5: to what's going on there because it's affecting millions and
43:15
Speaker 5: millions of people. They have fled to Egypt, as I mentioned,
43:18
Speaker 5: South Sudan. They're going to Chad. They're getting out of there.
43:22
Speaker 5: 12 million people have left that country. It's not a
43:25
Speaker 5: big country. 30 million right now are starving. And you
43:28
Speaker 5: can't even really get the food to help them, the
43:31
Speaker 5: humanitarian aid, because of that port in Sudan. So I
43:35
Speaker 5: wanted to do a little bit on that tonight. But
43:37
Speaker 5: let's move on to Minnesota, because in Minnesota, they are
43:41
Speaker 5: now charging ICE. They have finally brought charges against one
43:47
Speaker 5: of the members of ICE, and he's not alone. They're
43:51
Speaker 5: going to try to do this over and over. They
43:53
Speaker 5: have a wackadoodle district attorney in Hennepin County who happens
43:58
Speaker 5: to be, right up your alley, a George Soros person.
44:01
Speaker 5: Do you know much about Mary Moriarty?
44:03
Speaker 2: Yes, this one is actually Alex Soros. Alex took over.
44:09
Speaker 2: The super PAC that George Soros started to fund all
44:12
Speaker 2: these crazy DAs we see in the news, Alex Soros
44:16
Speaker 2: actually took over it in usually 2022 or 2023. So
44:20
Speaker 2: there has been a couple dozen that have been elected
44:23
Speaker 2: with his money. Actually, in my book, The Air, I
44:26
Speaker 2: talked about there was one case in Texas where the
44:29
Speaker 2: George Soros DA wasn't uh performing the way they wanted
44:34
Speaker 2: she kind of realized the policies were not working and
44:37
Speaker 2: reversed a lot of the progressive policies she initially implemented
44:41
Speaker 2: and then kind of went right wing politically and then
44:44
Speaker 2: so alex soros has actually funded a primary challenger to
44:48
Speaker 2: one of george soros's da's and ousted her for not
44:51
Speaker 2: being crazy enough wow so that's so these are the
44:53
Speaker 2: people that alex soros is funding but yes mary mariah
44:56
Speaker 2: tree It's an Alex Soros DA. And she is someone who,
45:02
Speaker 2: you know, whether or not the law gets enforced largely
45:05
Speaker 2: depends on your politics or if she sees you as
45:08
Speaker 2: part of a victim group. When she took office... There
45:12
Speaker 2: are a number of cases I reviewed in the book
45:14
Speaker 2: where she inherited, let's say, some murder cases where there
45:20
Speaker 2: was supposed to be like a plea deal where they
45:22
Speaker 2: would get 20-year sentences or something. She would greatly reduce
45:25
Speaker 2: them to probation, that sort of thing, where she would
45:28
Speaker 2: downgrade charges on extremely serious offenses, always opt for probation
45:34
Speaker 2: or basically no consequences whatsoever over consequences. And She I
45:39
Speaker 2: think a lot of people on the right probably saw
45:41
Speaker 2: her in the news the first time when there was
45:44
Speaker 2: a Tim Walls employee who was vandalizing people's Teslas. I
45:48
Speaker 2: think he did twenty five, twenty six thousand dollars worth
45:50
Speaker 2: of damage. And she it was a Wednesday afternoon. She
45:55
Speaker 2: announced there would be no real charges against the guy.
45:58
Speaker 2: He would just have to enter a diversion program. And
46:02
Speaker 2: her excuse was, well, you know, it wasn't a big
46:05
Speaker 2: enough crime to justify charges there. The threshold for vandalism is,
46:10
Speaker 2: for when they're supposed to be charged, I think is
46:12
Speaker 2: around $ 1, 000 or so in the state. But the reason
46:16
Speaker 2: I remember it was on a Wednesday was because the
46:19
Speaker 2: Monday two days before, there was a woman in the
46:23
Speaker 2: county who went to a Denny's restaurant and vandalized someone
46:29
Speaker 2: she didn't like's car and did $ 2, 000 or $ 3, 000 worth
46:33
Speaker 2: of damage. And what do you know? She got charged
46:35
Speaker 2: for that criminally. So she did less damage But there
46:39
Speaker 2: was no political motive. The guy who did more damage
46:43
Speaker 2: but did it for the left got off scot-free. So
46:45
Speaker 2: that's how she enforces the law, and she's going to
46:49
Speaker 2: hold ICE officers accountable for things she would never hold
46:53
Speaker 2: anyone else accountable.
46:54
Speaker 5: Let's listen to Tom Emmer. He is a representative for
46:58
Speaker 5: the people in Minnesota, and he was on Fox, and
47:01
Speaker 5: he was talking about this very case.
47:03
Speaker 18: And when I say criminal defense, she defends criminals at
47:06
Speaker 18: the expense of law-abiding citizens.
47:08
Speaker 1: Mary Moriarty should not have a law license, Joey.
47:12
Speaker 18: Mori Moriarty actually prosecuted a Minnesota state trooper. This is
47:16
Speaker 18: within the last two years. And she purposely refused to
47:21
Speaker 18: disclose exculpatory evidence, evidence that would have proven his innocence
47:26
Speaker 18: to the court. Literally, this woman should have been disbarred already.
47:30
Speaker 18: It's a crime that she is still in the office,
47:33
Speaker 18: and the fact that she's doing this, this is just
47:35
Speaker 18: more of the Tim Walz, the Keith Ellison, now Mary Moriarty.
47:40
Speaker 18: We hate Donald Trump, and this is how we're going
47:42
Speaker 18: to show it, by going after law enforcement yet again.
47:46
Speaker 18: And I'll tell you what, most Minnesotans are thrilled with
47:49
Speaker 18: President Trump and the fact that we've got 4,000 rapists, murderers, pedophiles,
47:55
Speaker 18: drug dealers, four thousand of them off our streets and
47:58
Speaker 18: they found another three thousand missing migrant children. That's the
48:02
Speaker 18: track record that we should be talking about.
48:04
Speaker 5: That accentuates the positive, but for some reason in Minnesota
48:08
Speaker 5: these people are just wackadoodle and I can't figure it out.
48:12
Speaker 5: I know people in Minnesota, I have been there, it's
48:14
Speaker 5: a beautiful state, but it seems like maybe because they
48:17
Speaker 5: are so nice that they've been taken advantage of in
48:21
Speaker 5: some ways. And I'm not sure. Last week also, here's
48:24
Speaker 5: another one. Minnesota Judge Brassel, she sentenced a pirate Somali jammy,
48:30
Speaker 5: if you saw this story, to only six months in prison.
48:34
Speaker 5: This is one of those people that did all the
48:36
Speaker 5: fraud there in Minneapolis, in Minnesota, with Tim Walz. And
48:41
Speaker 5: it was $ 5. 6 million is what the Somalian stole from us,
48:47
Speaker 5: the U.S. taxpayer. Six-month sentence.
48:50
Speaker 1: $ 5.
48:50
Speaker 5: 6 million?
48:52
Speaker 2: There was one where the jury found the guy guilty,
48:54
Speaker 2: and then the judge just decided to.
48:57
Speaker 5: Overturn the conviction.
49:00
Speaker 2: There was another where it was Somali fraud-related, where a Somalian,
49:09
Speaker 2: they wanted to pay someone on the jury $ 200, 000 to
49:13
Speaker 2: bribe them to acquit the Somali fraudster, and the Somalian
49:18
Speaker 2: they hired to deliver the money stole $ 80, 000 of the
49:23
Speaker 2: bribe that herself got convicted of theft. These are the
49:26
Speaker 2: people we're dealing with.
49:28
Speaker 5: Well, you know, for $ 5. 6 million for six months, we'll
49:34
Speaker 5: go in together. I have a suspicion, though, that if
49:37
Speaker 5: you and I do it, something else is going to
49:39
Speaker 5: happen to us. I did see that a pastor in Jacksonville,
49:43
Speaker 5: his name is Alex Eichelberger, former pastor now, he was
49:47
Speaker 5: sentenced for stealing $ 50, 000 in PPP. That happened last week,
49:53
Speaker 5: so that is still happening. Don't forget, $ 500 billion to
49:56
Speaker 5: $ 1 trillion was stolen from people like your neighbors during COVID.
50:01
Speaker 5: They took that much money from you, from the American taxpayer,
50:05
Speaker 5: and so far we have collected about $ 120 million. of
50:09
Speaker 5: that as people are continued to be prosecuted for stealing
50:12
Speaker 5: that money however in Minnesota I guess they really don't
50:15
Speaker 5: prosecute anyone if you happen to be of the right
50:17
Speaker 5: race or the right ethnicity yeah I think that's what
50:21
Speaker 5: it comes down to don't you?
50:23
Speaker 2: Tragically so and you know I there's a lot of
50:26
Speaker 2: research on you know even jury bias and you know
50:31
Speaker 2: the left's messaging of white people are racist only they
50:34
Speaker 2: can be racist everyone else is a victim It has
50:38
Speaker 2: in the past 20 years actually started to show up
50:40
Speaker 2: where if you have a black defendant that seems guilty
50:45
Speaker 2: and the jury pool is majority black, it's like basically
50:49
Speaker 2: a coin flip whether or not they'll get off. But
50:51
Speaker 2: if you have a white person that's convicted of a crime,
50:54
Speaker 2: it's pretty much– much more fair in terms of the
50:58
Speaker 2: actual outcome, but relative to a system that is biased
51:02
Speaker 2: in favor of every other group, fairness is actually to
51:08
Speaker 2: your own detriment relative to if you were another race. No, tragically,
51:12
Speaker 2: that seems to be how our criminal justice system works.
51:15
Speaker 2: One of the Things about El Salvador's fight against crime
51:19
Speaker 2: that hasn't gotten as much attention is the mass firing
51:23
Speaker 2: of these enabler judges, because, you know, there is this
51:27
Speaker 2: one judge named Raquel West. I think she used to
51:29
Speaker 2: be a Democrat, but changed Republican in the past few years.
51:33
Speaker 2: And she keeps going viral on YouTube, X, TikTok, etc.,
51:37
Speaker 2: because she's. Every case with her, you've got a team
51:40
Speaker 2: come in. It's the second armed robbery. She just goes, OK,
51:45
Speaker 2: 25 years, like whatever the maximum sentence is, she just gives.
51:49
Speaker 2: But you realize in that moment, like how many future
51:53
Speaker 2: robberies did that judge just prevent? How many people will
51:56
Speaker 2: never have to see a gun in their face because
51:58
Speaker 2: of that judge's one decision? And it's probably dozens. It's
52:01
Speaker 2: probably hundreds of thousands of dollars in theft that haven't occurred.
52:04
Speaker 2: It's probably potential murder or rape that hasn't happened. But
52:07
Speaker 2: then you have to realize, well, what is the opposite?
52:10
Speaker 2: You know, the Soros type judges, how many crimes are
52:13
Speaker 2: they creating? And it is you know, if you just
52:17
Speaker 2: took people with I think it's 10 or more arrests
52:20
Speaker 2: and they just disappeared, the crime rate gets cut in half.
52:23
Speaker 2: So it's an extremely concentrated problem. And whether or not
52:28
Speaker 2: you punish him, it really has a huge effect for
52:30
Speaker 2: what the crime rate in the nation will be.
52:32
Speaker 5: Well, let's quickly get to Sidney Powell because I teased
52:34
Speaker 5: it earlier in the hour. We're almost out of time.
52:37
Speaker 5: So Sidney Powell was Donald Trump's attorney back in the
52:40
Speaker 5: 2020 election, post-election things. She was brought into that RICO
52:44
Speaker 5: case into Fulton County with Fannie Willis. And she also
52:48
Speaker 5: was attempted to be disbarred in the state of Texas.
52:51
Speaker 5: Let's go back and listen to this. This is what
52:54
Speaker 5: she was doing in defending Donald Trump after the election
52:58
Speaker 5: in 2020.
52:58
Speaker 13: Forward with direct evidence of things like thousands of ballots
53:02
Speaker 13: moving from one state to another in the middle of
53:05
Speaker 13: the night to do what is called backspilling into the
53:09
Speaker 13: machines so that they can. perpetrate their fraud because President
53:14
Speaker 13: Trump won so many votes he blew up their algorithm.
53:17
Speaker 13: The American people blew up the algorithm they created before
53:19
Speaker 13: the election to shave votes from Biden and give them
53:22
Speaker 13: to Trump.
53:23
Speaker 2: And we're now.
53:24
Speaker 13: Seeing direct evidence of that happening. in multiple counties and
53:28
Speaker 13: multiple states. And we know it happened across the country.
53:31
Speaker 13: You'd have to be a damn fool and abjectly stupid
53:35
Speaker 13: not to see what happened here.
53:37
Speaker 5: So it was her words that got her in trouble
53:39
Speaker 5: with everyone. And she wasn't alone. There were other attorneys.
53:43
Speaker 5: Lynn Wood would be another one. John Eastman, he was
53:46
Speaker 5: another one that defended Donald Trump. He just lost his
53:49
Speaker 5: license in the state of California last week. So they're
53:52
Speaker 5: still going after attorneys for just defending Donald Trump back then.
53:58
Speaker 5: What does that say when you can't even defend someone
54:00
Speaker 5: who thinks something bad happened to them?
54:03
Speaker 2: Well, the thing about being a lawyer is you're allowed
54:06
Speaker 2: to take positions you don't even believe in. If you
54:10
Speaker 2: are a defense attorney... You are going to be defending
54:13
Speaker 2: murderers where when you see the evidence and you're defending them,
54:17
Speaker 2: you know they did it, but have to come up
54:18
Speaker 2: with an excuse for why they did it. Now, that's
54:21
Speaker 2: not a job I think you and I would ever do,
54:23
Speaker 2: but someone has to do it. And it's not against
54:25
Speaker 2: the rules as long as you're being truthful to provide
54:28
Speaker 2: someone the defense that they're owed. And that's what Sidney
54:31
Speaker 2: Powell and all these other people were doing. Now, Sidney Powell,
54:34
Speaker 2: I think, really destroyed her own credibility when she was
54:37
Speaker 2: promising things like, We're going to release the Kraken, and
54:41
Speaker 2: there's going to be evidence of Maduro or Venezuela flying
54:45
Speaker 2: ballots over. That stuff was all wacky, but the ballot
54:49
Speaker 2: drops that all coincidentally only went in one direction? Yeah,
54:53
Speaker 2: that's pretty suspicious, and I don't think there's anything wrong
54:56
Speaker 2: with questioning how that happens.
54:58
Speaker 5: No, you should ask those questions, and to this day,
55:01
Speaker 5: I don't think we ever have the answers. Hopefully we
55:03
Speaker 5: will get them soon. I guess we wait for the
55:06
Speaker 5: next 24 hours here, Matt, to find out what Donald
55:09
Speaker 5: Trump does, because we know that Iran probably is not
55:12
Speaker 5: going to do anything. And if they do something, it's
55:15
Speaker 5: just going to be pushing it out for another week
55:17
Speaker 5: or two, which is what they always do. I'm Booker Scott.
55:21
Speaker 5: Thank you so much for listening tonight, Matt. As always,
55:24
Speaker 5: thank you for coming in. We'll do it again next
55:26
Speaker 5: Monday night.
55:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll see you guys later.
55:28
Speaker 5: And don't forget that you were told 2,000 years ago
55:30
Speaker 5: that you are the salt of the earth, and salt
55:32
Speaker 5: without flavor, it has no value, so whatever you do,
55:36
Speaker 5: keep being salty. Have a great night.
55:38
Speaker 1: There is only one truth. You've been listening to The
55:42
Speaker 1: Truth Be Told with Booker Scott on America Out Loud.
