Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: We've got quite a few big stories to talk about today,
- 0:02Speaker 1: including the White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt holding her
- 0:07Speaker 1: first official White House Press briefing, and the room is
- 0:10Speaker 1: very different than it was during Biden and Harris's time.
- 0:15Speaker 1: There are new members that are back in the White
- 0:17Speaker 1: House that have been kicked out of the White House
- 0:20Speaker 1: when they were in office.
- 0:22Speaker 2: What did that do? It changed the entire dynamic of
- 0:25Speaker 2: the question. We'll have that for you as well. Coming up.
- 0:28Speaker 1: Also, Sean Duffy confirmed as a Transportation Secretary in a
- 0:32Speaker 1: seventy seven to twenty two vote, and there are others
- 0:35Speaker 1: that will be confirmed.
- 0:36Speaker 2: I'll give you the latest details on that.
- 0:38Speaker 1: And finally, Donald Trump has halted three trillion in federal
- 0:43Speaker 1: grants for review of compliance.
- 0:45Speaker 2: With a new executive order.
- 0:48Speaker 1: Before I get to all that, there is a story
- 0:51Speaker 1: though that I just got to start with and it
- 0:53Speaker 1: actually just made me laugh.
- 0:54Speaker 2: And this is a moment that you should enjoy.
- 0:57Speaker 1: We saw a bunch of media that been exiled from
- 1:00Speaker 1: the White House Press briefing room get to come back.
- 1:03Speaker 1: That's always a good thing for the freedom of the press.
- 1:05Speaker 1: We also saw the White House using the same strategy
- 1:07Speaker 1: that he used during the campaign. We don't give a
- 1:09Speaker 1: crap about ABCNBCCBS, the legacy media. We're going to open
- 1:13Speaker 1: up the press briefing room to podcasters and others that
- 1:17Speaker 1: are more conservative in media and talk to them. We're
- 1:19Speaker 1: not going to go through CNN anymore or any of
- 1:22Speaker 1: these others that lie deliberately about this administration. You're more
- 1:26Speaker 1: than welcome to be in the room, You're more than
- 1:27Speaker 1: welcome to answer questions, but we're not going to sit
- 1:30Speaker 1: here every day and just get in a fight with
- 1:32Speaker 1: you when you're not covering the news. This has had
- 1:37Speaker 1: repercussions in mainstream media.
- 1:40Speaker 2: What do I mean by that.
- 1:41Speaker 1: We're seeing layoffs at ABCNBCCBS, we're saving huge layoffs at
- 1:46Speaker 1: CNN and Jim Acostam, the guy who became famous for
- 1:50Speaker 1: ripping on Donald Trump from twenty sixteen to twenty twenty,
- 1:54Speaker 1: while he's now out of a job at CNN, quote
- 1:57Speaker 1: leaving CNN because they tried to banish him apparently to
- 1:59Speaker 1: like Midnight.
- 2:00Speaker 2: I'm not joking about that. Now.
- 2:03Speaker 1: The media's obsession with themselves and they're in their moral
- 2:07Speaker 1: high ground and grand standing that we're better than other people.
- 2:10Speaker 2: That is not stopped.
- 2:11Speaker 1: All right, Jim Acosta exit CNN with one last self
- 2:17Speaker 1: serving virtue signal about how great he is for America. Right,
- 2:23Speaker 1: because he's a member of the media and he should
- 2:24Speaker 1: be a king and a god to all of us.
- 2:26Speaker 1: He signed off his show for a final time after
- 2:29Speaker 1: eighteen years at CNN, and this is his last words
- 2:32Speaker 1: he had to say the American people. Now, I want
- 2:35Speaker 1: to play it for you in just a second, but
- 2:36Speaker 1: first we want to tell you about our friends over
- 2:38Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile.
- 2:39Speaker 2: While we may have won the election.
- 2:40Speaker 1: The fight to restore our great nation is only beginning,
- 2:44Speaker 1: and now is the time for you to take a
- 2:45Speaker 1: stand with your dollars, and Patriot Mobile is leading the
- 2:50Speaker 1: charge with conservative companies that are fighting back. They are
- 2:53Speaker 1: America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. I use them, I
- 2:57Speaker 1: know hundreds of others that use them personally, family friends,
- 3:01Speaker 1: business owners that I know have switched to Patriot Mobile
- 3:04Speaker 1: because they offer a way to vote with your wallet
- 3:07Speaker 1: without compromising on quality or convenience. You may not know,
- 3:10Speaker 1: but Big Mobile gives big donations to democratic causes, candidates
- 3:15Speaker 1: and organizations. Radical organizations, including those that advocate support and
- 3:20Speaker 1: pay for abortions That is why I made the switch
- 3:24Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile, because Patriot Mobile isn't just about providing
- 3:27Speaker 1: exceptional cell phone service. It's a call to action to
- 3:31Speaker 1: defend our rights and freedoms. With Patriot Mobile, every time
- 3:35Speaker 1: you pay your bill, you are giving back to causes
- 3:38Speaker 1: that sent up for our First and our Second Amendment rights,
- 3:40Speaker 1: the sanctity of life, as well as standing with our veterans,
- 3:43Speaker 1: our wounded warriors, and our first responders.
- 3:46Speaker 2: Now, switching is easy.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Keep your same number, keep your same phone you have,
- 3:50Speaker 1: or upgrade to a new one. They have a one
- 3:52Speaker 1: hundred percent US based customer service team that will help
- 3:55Speaker 1: you find the perfect plan.
- 3:56Speaker 2: So right now, go to Patriotmobile.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Dot com slash ferguson or call them ninety seven to
- 4:04Speaker 1: two Patriot. You're going to get a free month of
- 4:06Speaker 1: service with the promo code ferguson. So switch to Patriot
- 4:09Speaker 1: Mobile and make a difference with every call you make
- 4:12Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to
- 4:16Speaker 1: two Patriot. All right, So take a listen to Jim
- 4:19Speaker 1: Acosta CNN. This is his final virtue signal to America,
- 4:24Speaker 1: his middle finger to Donald Trump, his anger for losing
- 4:27Speaker 1: his show.
- 4:28Speaker 3: Just wanted to end today's show by thanking all of
- 4:30Speaker 3: the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at this network.
- 4:33Speaker 3: You may have seen some reports about me and the show,
- 4:37Speaker 3: and after giving all of this some careful consideration and
- 4:39Speaker 3: weigh an alternative time slot, syeing an offer me, I've
- 4:43Speaker 3: decided to move on. I am grateful to CNN for
- 4:46Speaker 3: the nearly eighteen years I've spent here doing the news.
- 4:49Speaker 3: People often ask me if the highlight of my career
- 4:52Speaker 3: at CNN was at the White House covering Donald Trump.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Actually no, that moment came here when I covered four
- 5:00Speaker 3: President of Barack Obama's trip to Cuba in twenty sixteen
- 5:03Speaker 3: and had the chance to question the dictator there, Raul Castro,
- 5:06Speaker 3: about the island's political prisoners. As the son of a
- 5:10Speaker 3: Cuban refugee, I took home this lesson. It is never
- 5:14Speaker 3: a good time to bow down to a tyrant. I've
- 5:17Speaker 3: always believed it's the job of the press to hold
- 5:20Speaker 3: power to account. I've always tried to do that here
- 5:22Speaker 3: at CNN, and I plan on going doing all of
- 5:25Speaker 3: that in the future. One final message, don't give into
- 5:29Speaker 3: the lies. Don't give into the fear. Hold on to
- 5:33Speaker 3: the truth and to hope, even if you have to
- 5:37Speaker 3: get out your phone record that message. I will not
- 5:39Speaker 3: give into the lies. I will not give into the fear.
- 5:44Speaker 3: Post it on your social media so people can hear
- 5:46Speaker 3: from you too. I'll have more to say about my
- 5:49Speaker 3: plans in the coming days, but until then, I want
- 5:51Speaker 3: to thank all of you for tuning in. Has been
- 5:53Speaker 3: an honor to be welcomed into your home for all
- 5:55Speaker 3: these years. That's the news reporting from Washington. I'm a
- 6:00Speaker 3: costa there.
- 6:01Speaker 2: It is eighteen years coming to an end.
- 6:03Speaker 1: Now, let's talk about his words there at his grandstanding
- 6:07Speaker 1: Number one, to equate Donald Trump with a dictator in
- 6:12Speaker 1: Cuba is laughable. The fact that he does it while
- 6:17Speaker 1: losing power is also hysterical. The media is losing their
- 6:22Speaker 1: power for the same reason that Donald Trump is moving
- 6:26Speaker 1: the seats around at the White House Press briefing room.
- 6:29Speaker 1: They're saying, you guys are no longer winning in this country.
- 6:32Speaker 1: People aren't listening to you. Podcasts, by the way, is
- 6:35Speaker 1: what won this last election. There's no doubt in my
- 6:38Speaker 1: mind that the strategy that Donald Trump implemented to go
- 6:42Speaker 1: on podcast shows, some of them that are quote non
- 6:45Speaker 1: political and to talk directly to the American people. Made the difference.
- 6:50Speaker 1: It used to be you had to go through the
- 6:52Speaker 1: media to get elected, that you had to go through
- 6:53Speaker 1: the media to even get your poll numbers up right,
- 6:57Speaker 1: Not anymore, and the bias in the media is incredibly clear,
- 7:01Speaker 1: and I think that's part of the reason why people
- 7:04Speaker 1: are not watching.
- 7:05Speaker 2: Let me give you another example.
- 7:07Speaker 1: There was a new research study that just came out,
- 7:10Speaker 1: and in this research study, the legacy media obsessed over
- 7:15Speaker 1: Donald Trump's pardons of January sixth protesters, spending forty three
- 7:21Speaker 1: minutes covering it. That is, ABC, CBS, NBC evening news
- 7:27Speaker 1: shows between January the twentieth and the twenty second, so
- 7:31Speaker 1: over a two day period, these legacy networks were completely
- 7:36Speaker 1: obsessed with Donald Trump partying anyone connected to January sixth,
- 7:41Speaker 1: Biden partning is family coverage. You want to know much
- 7:45Speaker 1: time it received just three minutes, So ABC, NBC, and
- 7:50Speaker 1: CBS spend forty six minutes over two days covering Donald
- 7:53Speaker 1: Trump's partying of January six protesters and just three minutes
- 7:57Speaker 1: covering Joe Biden partning his family to cover up the
- 8:01Speaker 1: Biden crime family criminal activity that is how much the
- 8:06Speaker 1: liberal media is still obsessed with trying to change this
- 8:11Speaker 1: country by misleading and lying to us. The best part
- 8:16Speaker 1: is people seem to be understanding it, and they're turning
- 8:20Speaker 1: it off. A constant announcing on air he's leaving CNN
- 8:23Speaker 1: and says it's never a good time to bow down
- 8:26Speaker 1: to a tyrant. Don't give into the lies his last
- 8:29Speaker 1: words on air. I'm sure he feels brave and bold.
- 8:32Speaker 1: What he doesn't understand is the fact. And I believe this.
- 8:37Speaker 1: He's the reason why Donald Trump won the election because
- 8:41Speaker 1: people watched him and he saw him lie to the
- 8:46Speaker 1: American people and people are like, yeah, I'm not all
- 8:48Speaker 1: about this.
- 8:49Speaker 2: I don't believe the media anymore.
- 8:51Speaker 1: They lied to us about COVID, they lied to us
- 8:54Speaker 1: about lockdown, they lied to us about mass they lied
- 8:56Speaker 1: to us about the you know, just two weeks to
- 8:59Speaker 1: you know, get of the spread and everything else, stop
- 9:02Speaker 1: the spread. And they lied to us about Joe Biden.
- 9:05Speaker 1: They lied to us about the Biden crime family. Why
- 9:08Speaker 1: the hell would we listen to any of them ever? Again,
- 9:12Speaker 1: that is what's happening right now. You'll look at the
- 9:16Speaker 1: broader picture with our media right now and look, for
- 9:21Speaker 1: four years, they have been able to just report propaganda
- 9:25Speaker 1: and they've been on a lot to you without anybody
- 9:28Speaker 1: really being able to challenge them.
- 9:29Speaker 2: I'll give you another example of this.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Jake Tapper had on Stephen Miller from the White House,
- 9:34Speaker 1: someone that he has attacked for the last four years.
- 9:37Speaker 1: These worst person in the world. Now Steven Miller's back
- 9:39Speaker 1: to the White House. And so of course, immediately seeing that,
- 9:44Speaker 1: Jake Tapper tried to ask a quote gotcha question on
- 9:46Speaker 1: illegal immigration, and I want you to listen to how
- 9:50Speaker 1: Stephen Miller fought back, because this is what we need
- 9:54Speaker 1: more of. And he basically said, I'm going to say
- 9:58Speaker 1: for thirty minutes to explain the topic to you. You'll
- 10:00Speaker 1: understand it. You're not going to just run out the
- 10:03Speaker 1: clock on us and attack us. We're playing at a
- 10:06Speaker 1: different level now. And this is part of the reason
- 10:09Speaker 1: why CNN has lost so many viewers, is why they're
- 10:11Speaker 1: having to laugh hundreds and hundreds of their employees this week.
- 10:14Speaker 4: Listen, jobs many Americans do not want to do. So,
- 10:19Speaker 4: how do you how does President Trump make sure that
- 10:22Speaker 4: the effort to deport people who are not in this
- 10:24Speaker 4: country legally doesn't end up hurting Americans who want safe
- 10:30Speaker 4: borders absolutely but also don't want to see even more
- 10:35Speaker 4: higher prices and groceries.
- 10:37Speaker 2: Now, let's be clear about the premise this.
- 10:39Speaker 1: Jake Tapper is saying that the only sane way to
- 10:42Speaker 1: look at deportations is to say, we shouldn't be deporting
- 10:45Speaker 1: that many illegal immigrants because they're giving us cheaper labor
- 10:49Speaker 1: for food. And so if you care about Americans, then
- 10:52Speaker 1: don't hurt them by deporting illegal immigrants are here, because
- 10:56Speaker 1: it's going to make them pay higher prices. Right, So
- 10:58Speaker 1: this is the EDI mind trick that they're genuinely hoping
- 11:02Speaker 1: is going to work on many of us, saying all right,
- 11:06Speaker 1: well, well just tell everybody that if we deport people, what's
- 11:08Speaker 1: going to happen is you guys are gonna you can't
- 11:10Speaker 1: afford to buy food for your kids, and people are
- 11:12Speaker 1: going to starve, right, so listen.
- 11:14Speaker 2: Now, Steven Miller responds to that, Well, I mean.
- 11:17Speaker 5: I'm sure it's not your position, Jake.
- 11:19Speaker 6: You're just asking the question that we should supply America's
- 11:23Speaker 6: food with exploitative illegal alien labor. I obviously don't think
- 11:27Speaker 6: that's what you're implying. Only one percent of alien workers
- 11:31Speaker 6: in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destination
- 11:34Speaker 6: for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like
- 11:38Speaker 6: Los Angeles, and small industrial talents of course, all across
- 11:43Speaker 6: the heartlet. As we've seen with the Biden floods, none
- 11:46Speaker 6: of those illegal aliens are doing farm work. Those thirty
- 11:49Speaker 6: thousand legal aliens that Joe Biden dumped into springs.
- 11:52Speaker 4: I'm talking about the ones that a no, but but no.
- 11:54Speaker 5: But I'm explaining this. It's important understanding.
- 11:56Speaker 4: Now you're kind of changing with I mean, I will,
- 11:59Speaker 4: I will go.
- 11:59Speaker 5: I give me thirty minutes. All goes deep becase you
- 12:01Speaker 5: want to. I don't, audience, I don't have.
- 12:03Speaker 4: A fair I'm talking about the ones that could that
- 12:06Speaker 4: work in.
- 12:06Speaker 5: The agriculture industry.
- 12:07Speaker 4: What I mean, I'm just plaining back about the ones
- 12:09Speaker 4: in the cities.
- 12:10Speaker 5: I swear I'll do. I'll do the whole answer.
- 12:13Speaker 6: The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country
- 12:15Speaker 6: are not full stop doing farm work. They are not
- 12:19Speaker 6: the illegal aliens he brought in from Venezuela, from Haiti,
- 12:22Speaker 6: from Nicarauagua. They are not doing farm work. They are
- 12:25Speaker 6: inner cities collecting welfare. As for the farmers, there is
- 12:28Speaker 6: a guest worker program that President Trump supports. Over time
- 12:32Speaker 6: as well, we will transition into automation so we'll never
- 12:35Speaker 6: have to have this conversation ever again. But there's no
- 12:38Speaker 6: universe in which this nation is going to allow the
- 12:42Speaker 6: previous president to flutter a nation with millions and millions
- 12:45Speaker 6: of illegal aliens who.
- 12:46Speaker 5: Just get to stay here.
- 12:47Speaker 6: And we are especially not going to allow a subset
- 12:50Speaker 6: of those illegal aliens to rape and murder our citizens.
- 12:53Speaker 6: So we are going to unapologetically enforcer immigration laws. And
- 12:56Speaker 6: as I'm sure you will celebrate, we are going to
- 12:58Speaker 6: unleash the power and might US government to eradicate the
- 13:01Speaker 6: presence of transnational threats on our soil.
- 13:04Speaker 1: I love the position of people like Steven Miller. They're like,
- 13:07Speaker 1: we're not taking these questions sitting down.
- 13:11Speaker 2: We're just not.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Secretary Christineom put out a seven am video this morning,
- 13:17Speaker 1: and it was a very simple video that she put out.
- 13:20Speaker 1: She was wearing a police ice vest ice hat and
- 13:24Speaker 1: her video this is all she said. It was three
- 13:27Speaker 1: seconds long.
- 13:29Speaker 6: Here in New York City this morning, we are geting
- 13:31Speaker 6: dirt bates off these streets.
- 13:33Speaker 1: We are in New York City this morning. Quote getting
- 13:36Speaker 1: the dirt bags off the streets. This is back to
- 13:40Speaker 1: what Donald Trump was elected to do. Enforcement operations in
- 13:46Speaker 1: cities that were sanctuary cities. And this enforcement operations in
- 13:49Speaker 1: New York City criminal aliens with kidnapping, assault, and burglary
- 13:53Speaker 1: charges now in Cussey thanks to Ice. All of this
- 13:58Speaker 1: could have been done by the last administration. They could
- 14:00Speaker 1: have gotten these criminals and gotten in the hell out
- 14:02Speaker 1: of this country, but they didn't care. They wanted them
- 14:05Speaker 1: to live among us. And let's go back to the
- 14:07Speaker 1: other lie. There's another lie that was happening at the
- 14:13Speaker 1: White House. And it was a lie they could have
- 14:16Speaker 1: told you about. Now I don't understand what the point
- 14:18Speaker 1: of this was, but they decided to lie to you
- 14:21Speaker 1: about it.
- 14:22Speaker 2: You may remember.
- 14:23Speaker 1: These drones that were up there in New Jersey and
- 14:28Speaker 1: the White House was saying it's no threat to society,
- 14:31Speaker 1: but not giving you any more information. And everybody was
- 14:33Speaker 1: putting videos up and wondering, is this UFOs?
- 14:36Speaker 2: What is this? Well?
- 14:37Speaker 1: President Trump issued a statement on the New Jersey drone
- 14:41Speaker 1: phenomenon at the start of his first White House Press
- 14:45Speaker 1: conference run by the new Press Secretary Caroline Levitt, And
- 14:49Speaker 1: this is part of the promises kept promises made part
- 14:54Speaker 1: of this administration. He said he was going to give
- 14:57Speaker 1: a briefing and tell the American people what the hell
- 14:59Speaker 1: was going on in New Jersey. Now we found out
- 15:03Speaker 1: that the other administration could have been transparent. They could
- 15:08Speaker 1: have told you what was actually happened happening, they chose
- 15:11Speaker 1: not to listen.
- 15:12Speaker 7: An update on the New Jersey drones. After research and study,
- 15:17Speaker 7: the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large
- 15:19Speaker 7: numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for
- 15:23Speaker 7: research and various other reasons.
- 15:26Speaker 1: Hold on a second, So the US government authorized the
- 15:30Speaker 1: drones in New Jersey to be flown for research reasons,
- 15:36Speaker 1: and they could have told the American people that, but
- 15:39Speaker 1: they deliberately decided not to be transparent with the American people.
- 15:43Speaker 2: So the question is why was it just going to
- 15:46Speaker 2: screw with us?
- 15:46Speaker 1: Is it because they want to cover up what they
- 15:48Speaker 1: were studying and what their research was for. Keep listening
- 15:52Speaker 1: to the White House again, giving you transparency.
- 15:56Speaker 7: Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private
- 16:00Speaker 7: individuals that enjoy flying jones in meantime, in time, it
- 16:05Speaker 7: got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.
- 16:09Speaker 7: A statement from the President of the United States to
- 16:13Speaker 7: start this briefing with some news.
- 16:15Speaker 1: How hard would that have been to be that transparent
- 16:18Speaker 1: if you were Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, Why weren't
- 16:21Speaker 1: they that transparent? Why wouldn't the White House Press briefing
- 16:24Speaker 1: room that transparent with the American people? They should have been,
- 16:30Speaker 1: they deliberately chose not to. There was people that were
- 16:34Speaker 1: fearful and afraid and scared. Hell, I know people that
- 16:37Speaker 1: didn't go to the inauguration because they were afraid of
- 16:40Speaker 1: what was going on with these drones, and they were
- 16:43Speaker 1: worried about it with good reason. We even saw the
- 16:45Speaker 1: media reporting that the President's cars had.
- 16:48Speaker 2: Anti drone.
- 16:51Speaker 1: Technology on the rooftops of these of their cars, the SUVs,
- 16:54Speaker 1: because they were so concerned about drones. There was real
- 16:58Speaker 1: nervousness and paranoia, not just in New Jersey but around
- 17:02Speaker 1: the country from this. And they could have cleaned it
- 17:04Speaker 1: up real quick and cleared it up for the American
- 17:06Speaker 1: people because they love for you to be terrified, and
- 17:09Speaker 1: then the government say, but don't worry, We're the ones
- 17:12Speaker 1: keeping you safe. There is also another mic drop moment
- 17:16Speaker 1: from the press briefing room when Caroline Levitt completely destroyed
- 17:19Speaker 1: the legacy media's lies to their face. I want you
- 17:23Speaker 1: to listen to what she said about the mission at
- 17:26Speaker 1: the White House and also her job.
- 17:29Speaker 7: Speaking on behalf of the President of the United States.
- 17:32Speaker 7: That is my job, and I will say, it's very
- 17:34Speaker 7: easy to speak truth from this podium when you have
- 17:36Speaker 7: a president who is implementing policies that are wildly popular
- 17:41Speaker 7: with the American people. And that's exactly what this administration
- 17:44Speaker 7: is doing. It's correcting the lies and the wrongs of
- 17:48Speaker 7: the past four years, many of the lies that have
- 17:50Speaker 7: been told to your faces in this very briefing room.
- 17:52Speaker 2: I will not do that.
- 17:54Speaker 7: But since you brought up truth seek, I would like
- 17:56Speaker 7: to point out, while I vow to provide the truth
- 17:59Speaker 7: from this podium, we ask that all of you in
- 18:01Speaker 7: this room hold yourselves to that same standard. We know
- 18:04Speaker 7: for a fact there have been lies that have been
- 18:06Speaker 7: pushed by many legacy media outlets in this country about
- 18:09Speaker 7: this president, about his family, and we will not accept that.
- 18:14Speaker 7: We will call you out when we feel that your
- 18:17Speaker 7: reporting is wrong or there is misinformation about this White
- 18:20Speaker 7: House so yes, I will hold myself to the truth,
- 18:23Speaker 7: and I expect everyone in this room to do the same.
- 18:25Speaker 2: I will hold myself to the truth.
- 18:27Speaker 1: That is something the former White House Press Secretary Jean
- 18:30Speaker 1: Pierre could never say with a straight face.
- 18:34Speaker 2: Well, let me give you.
- 18:35Speaker 1: Another example of just some of the lies that are
- 18:37Speaker 1: being told. And it's not just you know, former White
- 18:40Speaker 1: House Press secretaries that lie to you in the Democratic
- 18:43Speaker 1: Party or CNN. It's also the Democrats that are elected officials.
- 18:49Speaker 1: The Boston mayor, Mayor WU said today that she's angry
- 18:57Speaker 1: at Bill Malusian and Fox News Channel for sensationalizing, as
- 19:03Speaker 1: you described it, and stoking greater fear about deportations.
- 19:08Speaker 2: I want you to listen her words.
- 19:11Speaker 8: But with Fox News embedded, going along with doctor Phil
- 19:15Speaker 8: with this element of wanting to sensationalize and stoke greater
- 19:20Speaker 8: fear about it. So we know that the federal government
- 19:23Speaker 8: will continue to do what they do on the federal side.
- 19:27Speaker 8: We will continue to do what we do on the
- 19:29Speaker 8: city side, which is keeping everyone safe here. And we
- 19:32Speaker 8: don't have the authority to, let's say, stop or overrule
- 19:36Speaker 8: what they're doing in their domain, but neither do they
- 19:39Speaker 8: in our domain.
- 19:40Speaker 1: Either translation, I am the mayor Boston, and I'm not
- 19:46Speaker 1: going to help the federal government get rid of the
- 19:48Speaker 1: worst people in Boston.
- 19:50Speaker 2: They were there illegally.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Bill Illusion at Fox put out a very simple tweet
- 19:55Speaker 1: about this. He said, Mayor Wu should spend less time
- 19:57Speaker 1: worrying about Fox News and more time why international fugitives, murders, rapists, pedophiles,
- 20:07Speaker 1: and Haitian gang members with seventeen convictions in two years
- 20:12Speaker 1: have decided to set up shop in her sanctuary city
- 20:15Speaker 1: and roam freely until ICE arrests them. Now, what you
- 20:19Speaker 1: need to understand about what this mayor saying is she's saying, look,
- 20:22Speaker 1: we know we've caught a lot of these people. We
- 20:25Speaker 1: know that, and we know that we have them in Cussy,
- 20:28Speaker 1: and that we didn't tell Ice on purpose because we
- 20:31Speaker 1: care more about fundamentally changing the city and bringing in
- 20:34Speaker 1: future voters and giving them amnesty no matter who they are,
- 20:37Speaker 1: what horrific crimes they're committing in our city. And then says, oh,
- 20:42Speaker 1: and by the way, we're gonna don't worry.
- 20:44Speaker 2: We're gonna keep you safe. They're not keeping you safe.
- 20:46Speaker 1: These are the people that are actually being arrested in
- 20:48Speaker 1: Boston right now, and she's like, well, doctor Phil, going
- 20:51Speaker 1: out and showing these people getting arrested is just stoking fear. No,
- 20:57Speaker 1: it's making people feel safer because these communities are witnessing
- 21:01Speaker 1: ICE actually getting to do their job. For the last
- 21:04Speaker 1: four years. It was I had a Border Patrol agent
- 21:08Speaker 1: yesterday say to me, and he goes, I wish there
- 21:11Speaker 1: was a way that you or somebody could explain this
- 21:14Speaker 1: to the American people that I want you to imagine
- 21:18Speaker 1: for the last four years where you live, none of
- 21:21Speaker 1: the bad guys being arrested, and then knowing where all
- 21:25Speaker 1: of them are, and then one day, because of a
- 21:27Speaker 1: new person coming into office, we get to go out
- 21:29Speaker 1: and start four years ago and backlog all of the
- 21:33Speaker 1: people that should have been arrested.
- 21:35Speaker 2: That is what ICE is doing right now.
- 21:38Speaker 1: For the last four years, ICE is known about these
- 21:41Speaker 1: people and couldn't get them because of the local communities
- 21:44Speaker 1: that refused to tell them when they were arrested. Right
- 21:47Speaker 1: local police in Boston, perfect example. This mayor a great
- 21:51Speaker 1: example whether it's here, California or any of these other
- 21:53Speaker 1: woke liberal esties, including New York City. And so for
- 21:56Speaker 1: four years there's been in essence, zero justice with these
- 21:59Speaker 1: illegal immigrants.
- 22:01Speaker 2: Zero justice with illegal immigrants. Zero. I want you to
- 22:06Speaker 2: just think about that.
- 22:08Speaker 1: And so now they're doing it, and yet these mayors
- 22:10Speaker 1: are like, no, no, you're totally safe. No, no, you're
- 22:12Speaker 1: totally fine. No, no, everything's okay. And it's not just
- 22:15Speaker 1: on these issues. I'm going to give you another story
- 22:18Speaker 1: that is also an extremely important one. There's been a
- 22:22Speaker 1: lot of debate, for example, over the Panama Canal and
- 22:27Speaker 1: who's in charge of it. It looks very clearly like
- 22:30Speaker 1: the people that are in charge are actually China Center
- 22:34Speaker 1: Ted Cruz praise President Trump for calling out the abuse
- 22:38Speaker 1: of the Panama Canal that now the world is witnessing
- 22:42Speaker 1: and watching. Because the media is not telling you this
- 22:46Speaker 1: story doesn't mean it's an unimportant story because they're not
- 22:49Speaker 1: telling you. In fact, they're not telling the story because
- 22:52Speaker 1: of just how shocking the abuse is at the Panama Canal.
- 22:56Speaker 1: But I want you to hear the facts about the
- 22:58Speaker 1: Panama Canal. And this this is now Washington, DC responding
- 23:03Speaker 1: to Donald Trump basically raising his hand and saying, we
- 23:08Speaker 1: got a problem, and it's a problem that's really bad,
- 23:12Speaker 1: and we need to deal with this problem.
- 23:13Speaker 2: And not look the other way any longer.
- 23:16Speaker 9: We're here today to examine a monument to American ingenuity,
- 23:21Speaker 9: the Panama Canal. Senator Moreno down there suggested we open
- 23:26Speaker 9: the hearing by playing Van Halen and Panama. We may
- 23:31Speaker 9: not do that, But between the American construction of the
- 23:36Speaker 9: Panama Canal, the French effort to build an Isthmus Canal
- 23:41Speaker 9: an America's triumphant completion of that canal, the major infrastructure
- 23:47Speaker 9: projects across Panama cost more than thirty five thousand lives.
- 23:53Speaker 9: For the final decade of work on the Panama Canal,
- 23:56Speaker 9: the United States spent nearly four hundred million dollars equivalent
- 24:01Speaker 9: to more than fifteen billion today. The Panama Canal proved
- 24:06Speaker 9: a truly invaluable asset, sparing both cargo ships and warships
- 24:13Speaker 9: the long journey around South America. When President Carter gave
- 24:19Speaker 9: it away to Panama, Americans were puzzled, confused, and many outraged.
- 24:25Speaker 9: With the passage of time, many have lost sight of
- 24:29Speaker 9: the canal's importance, both to national security and to the
- 24:32Speaker 9: US economy. Not President Trump, when he demanded fair treatment
- 24:39Speaker 9: for American ships and goods, many in the media scoffed,
- 24:44Speaker 9: But the Panama Canal was not just given away. President
- 24:48Speaker 9: Carter struck a bargain, He made a treaty, and President
- 24:52Speaker 9: Trump is making a serious and substantive argument that that
- 24:55Speaker 9: treaty is being violated right now. This committee has jurisdiction
- 24:59Speaker 9: under the Senate rules over the Panama Canal, and today
- 25:02Speaker 9: we will examine evidence of potential violations. President Trump has
- 25:07Speaker 9: highlighted two key issues. Number one, the danger of China
- 25:11Speaker 9: exploiting or blocking passage through the canal, and number two,
- 25:15Speaker 9: the exorbitant costs for transit. Chinese companies are right now
- 25:20Speaker 9: building a bridge across the canal at a slow pace
- 25:24Speaker 9: so as to take nearly a decade, and Chinese companies
- 25:29Speaker 9: control container points ports at either end. The partially completed
- 25:35Speaker 9: bridge gives China the ability to block the canal without warning,
- 25:40Speaker 9: and the ports give China ready observation post to take
- 25:43Speaker 9: to time that action.
- 25:46Speaker 5: This situation, I.
- 25:47Speaker 9: Believe poses acute risks to US national security.
- 25:52Speaker 1: You listen to what Senata Cruz is saying there, this
- 25:55Speaker 1: is a major national security risk, and this hearing on
- 25:59Speaker 1: the pane and how this could affect the US economy
- 26:02Speaker 1: is huge and of course the media is like, oh no, no,
- 26:05Speaker 1: this isn't a big story. This is an important story,
- 26:08Speaker 1: don't worry about it's Panama Canal. This Donald Trump being crazy.
- 26:11Speaker 1: When you hear this type of information, every member of
- 26:15Speaker 1: the media should actually be reporting on it, and they're not,
- 26:20Speaker 1: which is why I do this show. That's why the
- 26:24Speaker 1: White House is bringing in podcasters like myself to the
- 26:27Speaker 1: White House Press briefing, and it's why they're saying we're
- 26:30Speaker 1: not relying on legacy media any longer to do their job.
- 26:34Speaker 1: I'll give you another important story that you will not
- 26:36Speaker 1: hear about. In fact nine nine point nin I'm just
- 26:38Speaker 1: seing you this the first time you're going to hear
- 26:39Speaker 1: this story. You remember the gang leaders that were shown
- 26:45Speaker 1: on TV that were behind the Denver apartment takeovers, and
- 26:50Speaker 1: you had actual members of the local like, look, it's
- 26:52Speaker 1: not that big of a deal. Everybody calmed down, like
- 26:54Speaker 1: it's just a few apartment complexes, and then the mainstream
- 26:57Speaker 1: media said the same exact thing to jd.
- 27:00Speaker 2: Vance.
- 27:01Speaker 1: You may remember, I think it was Martha Raddick who
- 27:03Speaker 1: said to jedda, Vance was just a couple buildings, and
- 27:06Speaker 1: jad was like.
- 27:07Speaker 2: Listen to yourself.
- 27:09Speaker 1: These gangs have literally taken over apartment complexes and you're
- 27:15Speaker 1: acting like this isn't a big deal.
- 27:18Speaker 2: Oh, it's just a few buildings in Colorado.
- 27:21Speaker 1: Well, that gang leader that was behind the Denver apartment
- 27:25Speaker 1: takeover fled Colorado and guess where he was found in
- 27:31Speaker 1: a sanctuary state. He was found in the Bronx and
- 27:35Speaker 1: he was arrested in the last twenty four hours. Biden,
- 27:40Speaker 1: let this guy roam the streets terrorizing Americans. We had
- 27:43Speaker 1: it on video of them with their machine guns, breaking
- 27:47Speaker 1: into apartments, threatening the landlords, making it a no go
- 27:52Speaker 1: zone apparently for the police, and taking over these apartment
- 27:57Speaker 1: complexes for their criminal activities and human trafficking. And then
- 28:02Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you got a new guy who's like, hey,
- 28:05Speaker 1: I'm going to find him.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Let's lock this guy up, and they did it week one.
- 28:10Speaker 1: You have to understand this time, it is going to
- 28:12Speaker 1: be a long four years. The media is going to
- 28:16Speaker 1: fear monger. The media is going to fear monger on
- 28:20Speaker 1: all sorts of issues. Today that the media was fear
- 28:22Speaker 1: mongering about Trump's pause on federal grants to various agencies
- 28:26Speaker 1: and institutions, and then they put out a live story
- 28:30Speaker 1: that social Security checks.
- 28:31Speaker 2: Were not going to go out. I want you hear.
- 28:34Speaker 2: The White House pre Secretary responded that lie.
- 28:37Speaker 10: I just thought a substitute question yesterday of the White
- 28:40Speaker 10: House Office and Management and Budget directed across the board
- 28:44Speaker 10: freeze the subtis for individual assistance. We understand to federal grants.
- 28:49Speaker 10: It's caused a lot of confusion around the country, head
- 28:52Speaker 10: Start providers, among providers service services to homeless veterans, Medicaid
- 28:58Speaker 10: provided states saying they're having trouble access the portal. Could
- 29:01Speaker 10: you help us clear up some of the condusion gives
- 29:03Speaker 10: them the certainty to folks then, also, is that uncertainty?
- 29:06Speaker 10: How does that uncertainty service the President's voters?
- 29:10Speaker 7: Well, I think there's only uncertainty in this room. Amongst
- 29:12Speaker 7: the media. There's no uncertainty in this building. So let
- 29:14Speaker 7: me provide the certainty and the clarity that all of
- 29:16Speaker 7: you need. This is not a blanket pause on federal
- 29:20Speaker 7: assistance in grant programs from the Trump administration. Individual assistance
- 29:26Speaker 7: that includes I'm not naming everything that's included, but just
- 29:29Speaker 7: to give you a few examples, Social Security benefits, Medicare benefits,
- 29:34Speaker 7: food stamps, welfare benefits, assistance that is going directly to
- 29:38Speaker 7: individuals will not be impacted by this pause. And I
- 29:42Speaker 7: want to make that very clear to any Americans who
- 29:44Speaker 7: are watching at home who may be a little bit
- 29:47Speaker 7: confused about some of the media reporting this administration. If
- 29:50Speaker 7: you are receiving individual assistance from the federal government, you
- 29:53Speaker 7: will still continue to receive that. However, it is the
- 29:56Speaker 7: responsibility of this president and this administration to be good
- 30:00Speaker 7: words of taxpayer dollars. That is something that President Trump
- 30:03Speaker 7: campaigned on. That's why he has launched DOGE, the Department
- 30:06Speaker 7: of Government Efficiency, who is working alongside OMB, and that's
- 30:11Speaker 7: why OMB sent out this memo last night, because the
- 30:13Speaker 7: President signed an executive order directing OMB to do just this.
- 30:18Speaker 7: And the reason for this is to ensure that every
- 30:20Speaker 7: penny that is going out the door is not conflicting
- 30:24Speaker 7: with the executive orders and actions that this president has taken.
- 30:27Speaker 7: So what does this pause mean. It means no more
- 30:29Speaker 7: funding for illegal DEI programs. It means no more funding
- 30:33Speaker 7: for the Green new scam that has cost American taxpayers
- 30:37Speaker 7: tens of billions of dollars. It means no more funding
- 30:40Speaker 7: for transgenderism and wokeness across our federal bureaucracy and agencies.
- 30:45Speaker 7: No more funding for Green New Deal social engineering policies.
- 30:49Speaker 2: So yet again they lied.
- 30:52Speaker 1: The media lied to scare the hell out of old people,
- 30:55Speaker 1: people on food stamps, people on pensions, people on social security,
- 31:01Speaker 1: people that deal with Medicare and Medicaid, because they're trying
- 31:04Speaker 1: to turn the country against Trump, and they're going to
- 31:08Speaker 1: do it with lies, and every day we're going to
- 31:10Speaker 1: have to fight back. Make sure you share this podcast
- 31:14Speaker 1: please wherever you can, and I'll see you back here tomorrow.
