• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: All Right, are you guys aware here at one ling
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: of Alex Media that Scott Besson had an assassination attempt
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: against his life?
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: See Asmuda.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: I love to talk about sports and adaptability. It's these
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: kind of stories that fire me up. Also because.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: I didn't know until this Kouk got eight years in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: prison this week for uh basically, I believe.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: Approaching the Capital well on January twenty twenty five, I
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: mean that they discovered the police discovered improvised melotov cocktails
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and a knife.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: They searched the suspect.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: According to Capitol police report, he wanted to burn down
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: on a think tank in Washington, d C. I mean,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the guy that did this plot pretty insane, and he
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: confessed to the plot outside of the capital in twenty
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: twenty five. During twenty twenty seven, because well, Scott Beston
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: happened to be getting confirmed.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: That week or that day, and I turned back to
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: New York City as well.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: I said, last week, Mom, Donnie was doxing nine hundred
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: thousand people, and the political climate I was referring to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: is this crap. See, if we don't talk about these attempts,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: no one's gonna think there's a problem or that there's
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: kumbaya or whatever. But there's there's some disunity out there.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: There are some kooks. Just look at what happened.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Now almost a year ago with Charlie Kirking assassinated. Look
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: at Trump's attempts on his life. They were also saying
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: they moved planes because there was a threat on his life.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is going on? But back in New
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: York last week, a deranged.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I had to say Muslim, but like a deranged person,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I think he was Muslim stormed and assaulted people at
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: a synagogue on Shabbat last week. And sure, Mom Donnie
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: condemned that, but that's like the firefighter. That's like starting
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: the fire then putting out the fire at the same time.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Because name one thing, really, Mum Donnie's done to truly
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: stand by the Jewish population in New York. And when
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I talked about political climate last week, this Bessett assassination
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: attempt is what I was talking about. I don't think
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: many people knew until this guy got sentenced that there
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: was actually a plot on his life, on Mike Johnson's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: life at the time. And also, by the way, this
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: guy that stormed the Hilton had a manifesto naming a
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: bunch of people as well. He was targeting that at
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: the administration there too, that kook, that nut job. I
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: don't even want to give their names because I just
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: they don't deserve the recognition. But these attempted assassinations need
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: to be highlighted because it shows there are people that
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: are taking rhetoric too damn far.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: So maybe we cut the rhetoric out. Maybe we don't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: stand in front of Ken Griffin's home, mayor Mum Donnie.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe we just.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: We don't do things, or even dare I say call
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: for the arrest of Nott in Yahoo?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: You know, I really believe when he said that.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: People who are not of sound mind would think, well,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: then I'm gonna go and not just arrest, but harm
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Jewish people. I do believe that whole incident with him
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: calling on the arrest of NTNA, who inspired this attack
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: on Friday night, then he condemns it. Meanwhile, he's like saying,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: we got to arrest someone. And as I've said before,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: when you say you want to arrest a figurehead, does
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that mean you want to arrest a whole ethnic population.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Then that's how I feel about it. It's like a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: threat against the Jewish community, but in an error. In
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: a climate where there's nine hundred thousand people's names just
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: floating out there, including Rachel O'Brien Morano and there and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Carmi Morano Senior or Carl Morano, uh, Frank Morano's father,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: this sentencing happens, and it's a reminder just like it
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: was when Kavanaugh.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: There's a guy outside capitals that was zip tized. I mean,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: are you freaking kidding me?
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: How about Amy Cony Devera, who said there's been threats
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: on her life. So in this political climate I was
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: talking about last week, here's the proof.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: No one is safe. No one is safe.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: And if we just toned down the rhetoric and not
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: call for the arrest of figureheads and I don't know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: not called for the end of Thanksgiving, thank God for it,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Jessica Hognen would last week, right, I mean, really, though,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: the rhetoric is getting too heated and the assassination attempts
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: are seemingly seemingly increasing, But imagine being so sick in
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the head that you want to target not Trump but
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: one of his nominations. I mean, that's sickness right there.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: And we worked with Scott best here at the radio
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: station a couple of times.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: He's actually a.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Very wise person, and he's a lot of insights, and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: he's just good in the Treasury. And we've seen some
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: failed Treasury Department people.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Haven't we.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, Manucha was okay, but Beston actually seems to
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: be doing well. Minucha had his flaws when he was
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: the Treasury secretary. But this sentencing is just another reason
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: why those especially on the far left, need to calm
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: the f down, because what they're saying is getting the
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: people's minds. You don't think this guy listened to Maxine
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Waters and said, who said, hit him high if you see.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Him at a restaurant or something like that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I mean there's been time and time again audio clips hella.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Even Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters deplorable. I mean that's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: a threat. You know, she might have been Secretary of
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: saying the first lady, but her words still matter, especially
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: that probably call for the election. Actually when she called
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: half of America a deplorable I mean.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? But that's just words. This is where.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: The rhetorics starting to become violent because you have a
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: guy showing up to the Capitol Police Capital wanting to
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: burn down a thing tank, wanting to take out Mike Johnson,
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: and then shifted plans when he saw Scott Besen was
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: about to be confirmed. And this happened two months before
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I went there, By the way, how funny is that?
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: How funny is that it happened two months before I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: was down in DC in March and already and actually
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: come to the about it because the election was twenty four.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: This doesn't happened just four days or five days after
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: the inauguration.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I mean, that's wild.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: So not only did justice get served with this, okay,
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: but also it serves as a heavy reminder.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: He wanted to kill a cabinet member.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Whose confirmation in the Senate was scheduled to vote on
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: that day, that day, and that that person was Scott Bessett.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Janine Perrou wrote, my office was non tolerted attempts to
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: attimidate or harm public officials. The attempts to attack sur
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: Secretary of Scott Bessett was an attack on the democratic
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: process itself.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And that's the other thing. You know.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: The left says that Trump attacks the democracy, but look
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: at who the people that are doing all these attempts
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: aligned with Not the Republicans, No, no, no, they align.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: With the far left.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: That's the only reason I can explain them wanting to
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: attack Trump nominees. You never saw this with Biden nominees, even.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You know, I know.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Obama had some attempts on his life in a pair
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: assassination attempts apparently, and I was not aware of that until.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: The traumatization attempts are happening. But no, this is not.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Something that should slip through the cracks. This administration is
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: at risk. This city here in New York.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Feels like.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Are risks to be a certain uh you know ethnic population,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: should Jewish per se. I've heard things that people are
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: not wearing their yamagas for fear of being targeted. I mean,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: who wants to live in a city like that? Who
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: wants to live in a city like that? And then
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: don't really I started. The police officer seemed to be
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: targeted too. I mean, you can't be an ICE officer
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: without feeling like there's a threat. In fact, a lot
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: of people are saying, unmask those people, but we all
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: know if you want masked the ICE agents, they're gonna
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: get docs and that's gonna be worse to a family
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: and probably a good person that just is in the
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: middle of this insane thing with ice. But still the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: officers themselves should not be assaulted for for protecting and
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: doing their job. But the rhetoric is heated right now
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: and this assassination attempt on Besson's life and they.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Can say, well, he didn't get even get close. That's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: not the point.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: An attempt is when someone brings Dasoline to Mari Lago
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: looking for Donald Trump, to the front.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Door of Barla, how does he even get past the gate?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: You know this crooks may not have shot at Trump,
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: but he was feet away from the golf course.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And it took a very, very.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: A suit an observant and mindful secret agent who heard
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: the rustling of the gun as he was like backing
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: up or time I don't even know in the bushes
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to do something.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: But let's be real here. You never had to worry
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: if a Biden masician was out to dinner if they
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: would be attacked right right, And no, you wouldn't have
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: to worry about that.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't have to worry about really anybody on the
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: left being attacked. But since Trump got back into office,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: since his run in twenty four where you know in Butler,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: we all remember him and that's two years ago already.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: That's crazy, Yet time flies right up to today. I mean, yeah,
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: I switch planes, as I said, because there was a
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: threat of his life there too. So let's not.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Dismiss these sentencings and accountability, because if we don't talk
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: about it, then we won't highlight just how sick of
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: a month people are developing, especially worth the Trump administration,
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: and I think toward people in general. And I feel like,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I didn't hear many others except for
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Fox News and The Hill reporting on it.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: So I want to report on it because it's a
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: big deal.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal that another administration official was targeted.
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: How do you not see that CNN or any other
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: network that I'm short, didn't cover it half as much.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: But that's why we're here.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: That's why I started the show fourteen years ago, to
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: show you how our tax dollars being spent and most
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: of it spent on actually preventing crime. Most of it
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: is actually spent on preventing crime, whether it be bolstering
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: the military. I knowpe we hate to say that, but
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: it's true. The military doesn't need its funding, whether it's
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Capitol police doing its job. And on the right, I
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: know you're gonna say, well, the other capitol police let
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the people into the capitol five years ago.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how that whole thing just transpired.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It just got out of control on January sixth. But
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: even that, even that got so much scrutiny.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: All these people that stormed the capitol, you know, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: somewhere very peaceful. I hate to say it that way,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: but they trespassed. Sure, they committed a ventual crime, but
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: they've been in jail not getting due process at times.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: And I'm not defending them. I do think they were
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: wrong to enter the capitol, even if by accident, or
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: to have a joy ride there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's pretty wrong. But if you're going to.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Cover that, media cover the fact another person on I
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: don't want to say your side could You're supposed to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: be unbiased, But on your side, the capital with plans
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: to throw molotov cocktails at a hearing, and by the way,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: we need to fix those hearing procedures security. I am
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: sick and tired of seeing these Senate hearings and all
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: of a sudden, ten people get up in protest.
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: How is that allowed to happen. It's a secure facility.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: These hearings should go on.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying suppressed, but I'm saying, you want
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: to protest, freaking do it outside.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Do it outside, don't interrupt their hearings. I get sick
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Like p txit is trying to prove his point on
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Iran and all of a sudden, like ten people are
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: getting thrown out of the hearing.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I've seen that time and time again. But by that happened.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: There's those security procedures, aren't they like you would think?
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: You would think?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: But thank god this guy did not get through, because
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: you know, it's incredible to me.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: How ninety nine percent.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Of things the FBI catches, CIA catches, or you know,
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: police catch that one percent was not able to succeed
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: this time.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: And thank God for that. But let it be a
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: warning that it's not just Trump.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: We gotta you know, I don't wanna say pray for it,
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: because they pray for me, but not that Trump.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: We gotta worry about his safety. It's all everybody in
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the administration.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And the fact, we even have to worry about someone's
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: safety because they align with the administration. They're in a
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: certain administration that is a threat of democracy. Just because
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: someone's rich enough to have two homes in New York,
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: they get to be docked.
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: That's not that's not the American way. That's not the
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: American way.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: We don't do that to people, especially as that contribute
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: to the city.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: So I'm just coming down her tee. I'm sick of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the attacks.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I'm sick of hearing about the attempted a sassinations because
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: it means, it means the rhetoric has gotten too hot
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and it must be dialed down once and for all
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: for the country's sake. And that's my message. At one
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: like a balax media
