Students Supporting Terrorism Deported plus NPR and their Radical Tweets · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

Speaker 1: You can file what I'm about to tell you under
0:03
Speaker 1: promises kept after promises were made by Donald Trump during
0:08
Speaker 1: the campaign.
0:09
Speaker 2: We now have more students that are.
0:12
Speaker 1: Being arrested by ICE on college campuses. At the University
0:17
Speaker 1: of Alabama, a doctoral student has been arrested by ICE.
0:21
Speaker 1: And also in another headline from the Associated Press, they
0:25
Speaker 1: are now reporting that a Turkish student at Tufts University
0:29
Speaker 1: is the latest Palestinian supporter swept up in a US crackdown. Now,
0:34
Speaker 1: let's go to Alabama first. The University of Alabama says
0:38
Speaker 1: one of its doctoral students has been arrested by Immigration
0:42
Speaker 1: and Customs enforcement, adding to the growing list of foreign
0:45
Speaker 1: students that have been targeted by law enforcement.
0:48
Speaker 2: Quote.
0:49
Speaker 1: The University of Alabama recently learned that a doctoral student
0:53
Speaker 1: has been detained off campus by federal immigration authorities. Federal
0:58
Speaker 1: privacy laws limit what can be shared about the individual student,
1:01
Speaker 1: the university said. The student, an Iranian national, was identified
1:06
Speaker 1: by the Crimson White Now that's the university's student newspaper,
1:10
Speaker 1: who has a student visa, was detained this week and
1:13
Speaker 1: it's not clear what, if any charges he is facing.
1:16
Speaker 1: The Hill reached out to the Department of Home in
1:18
Speaker 1: security for comment. Most of the foreign students, by the way,
1:23
Speaker 1: the Trump administration's target, have been involved in pro palace
1:26
Speaker 1: and in protests. In some way, the administration is seeking
1:29
Speaker 1: to make use of a law. They say the Secretary
1:32
Speaker 1: of State can deport a non citizen who threatens the
1:36
Speaker 1: foreign policy of the nation Against these individuals, Now, don't worry.
1:41
Speaker 1: The lefties at the University of Alabama and the College
1:44
Speaker 1: Democrats put out a statement saying, quote, our fears have
1:48
Speaker 1: come to pass. Donald Trump and Tom Homan and Ice
1:52
Speaker 1: have struck a cold, vicious dagger through the hearts of
1:56
Speaker 1: au international community. Students at several high profile universities across
2:02
Speaker 1: the country have also been detained amid the Trump administration's crackdown.
2:07
Speaker 1: Another example of that is what we're now hearing from
2:09
Speaker 1: the Associated Press that a Turkish student at Tufts University
2:13
Speaker 1: has been arrested. Now the Turkish student was detained by
2:16
Speaker 1: federal officers as she walked along a street in Boston suburb.
2:20
Speaker 1: It's the latest supporter of a Palestinian Causes group that
2:24
Speaker 1: have been swept up in the Trump administration's crackdown on
2:28
Speaker 1: immigrants who have expressed their political views that's how the
2:31
Speaker 1: AP is reporting it. In reality, that's not actually what
2:34
Speaker 1: they're doing. The Trump administration is cracking down on immigrants
2:39
Speaker 1: who have student visas who are actually threatening and going
2:44
Speaker 1: after others in the US. The thirty year old, a
2:47
Speaker 1: doctoral student at Tufts University, was swiftly moved out of Massachusetts,
2:52
Speaker 1: a demonstration of how US Immigration and Customs enforcement is
2:55
Speaker 1: sending immigrants who are taken into cussy to detention centers,
2:59
Speaker 1: are deporting them all together before a federal judge has
3:02
Speaker 1: a chance to weigh in on their case and possibly
3:04
Speaker 1: halt the actions. That is how the AP is sounding
3:08
Speaker 1: the alarm. The woman who was attained Tuesday, shortly after
3:12
Speaker 1: she left her home in Somerville had been moved to
3:16
Speaker 1: a nice detention center in Louisiana by the time her
3:19
Speaker 1: lawyer went to court and a judge ordered her to
3:21
Speaker 1: be kept in Massachusetts. US government lawyers said in a
3:24
Speaker 1: court document Thursday.
3:26
Speaker 2: They said they made her lawyers aware that she.
3:29
Speaker 1: Was being moved and facilitated contact with her Wednesday night.
3:34
Speaker 1: A senior Department of Home in Security spokesman said federal
3:37
Speaker 1: authorities detained the woman after an investigation found that she
3:41
Speaker 1: had quote engaged in activities in support of hamas, a
3:46
Speaker 1: foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans. The
3:51
Speaker 1: Department did not provide evidence of that support, of course,
3:55
Speaker 1: as how again, the AP is trying to make it
3:57
Speaker 1: look like Donald Trump did something wrong. Look at the
4:00
Speaker 1: facts here. When the Department of Home in Security in
4:03
Speaker 1: this case tells you what happened, they say they are
4:07
Speaker 1: deporting a woman that is engaged in activities in support
4:11
Speaker 1: of a terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans.
4:15
Speaker 1: Hummas that right, there should be enough to say, Okay,
4:20
Speaker 1: this is a good decision for America. It's a good
4:23
Speaker 1: decision for the safety of students on college campuses. And
4:27
Speaker 1: why on earth would you want someone like this in
4:30
Speaker 1: America as our guests. The Secretary of State, by the way,
4:34
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio said, the Trump administration is revoked the visas
4:37
Speaker 1: of at least three hundred people, including this woman. We
4:40
Speaker 1: do it every day, quote unquote. We gave you a
4:43
Speaker 1: visa to come and study and get a degree, not
4:45
Speaker 1: to become a social activist to tear up our university campuses,
4:50
Speaker 1: Rubio said to reporters during a stop in Ghana. So
4:53
Speaker 1: marrow the story is this. If you think Donald Trump
4:55
Speaker 1: and the State Department, or Tom Homan or Marco Ruby
4:58
Speaker 1: are going to stop deporting student center clearly hating America
5:02
Speaker 1: or supporting terrorist organizations, so well, you're wrong because they're
5:06
Speaker 1: doing it quote every day. While we may have won
5:09
Speaker 1: this election, the fight to restore our great nation is
5:11
Speaker 1: only beginning, and now is the time to take a stand,
5:14
Speaker 1: and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge. It has never
5:18
Speaker 1: been easier to switch your cell phone than in twenty
5:22
Speaker 1: twenty five. With technology, you can do it literally over
5:25
Speaker 1: the phone with a code they send you. It is amazing.
5:29
Speaker 1: But here's the reason why I use Patriot Mobile.
5:32
Speaker 3: No.
5:32
Speaker 1: One, I save money over what I was paying before
5:34
Speaker 1: with Big Mobile. And two, I'm no longer supporting the
5:38
Speaker 1: radical left now. I didn't realize until someone told me
5:42
Speaker 1: just how radical Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are
5:44
Speaker 1: supporting organizations that pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic
5:49
Speaker 1: causes and organizations they're helping democrats get elect it at
5:52
Speaker 1: the local, state and national level. That is actually why
5:55
Speaker 1: over a decade ago Patriot Mobile was started and they
5:59
Speaker 1: are now america only Christian conservative wireless provider. Now let's
6:04
Speaker 1: talk about coverage. In twenty twenty five, you have zero
6:08
Speaker 1: problems with coverage anymore because well, Patriot Mobile uses all
6:12
Speaker 1: three major networks.
6:13
Speaker 2: What does that mean for you?
6:14
Speaker 1: It means whatever coverage you're used to now, you're going
6:17
Speaker 1: to stay exactly the same, or you may even be
6:20
Speaker 1: able to improve it, but it will not be any
6:22
Speaker 1: issues when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have
6:25
Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this
6:28
Speaker 1: is where the magic happens. They take a portion of
6:31
Speaker 1: your bill every month and they give it back to
6:33
Speaker 1: organizations that support our first and our second amendments that
6:37
Speaker 1: support the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our
6:40
Speaker 1: first responders, and are wounded warriors. And like I said,
6:44
Speaker 1: switching with technology now has never been easier. You keep
6:47
Speaker 1: your same phone you have now, keep your same phone number,
6:50
Speaker 1: and you can even upgrade to a new phone if
6:52
Speaker 1: you want to. They have a one hundred percent US
6:55
Speaker 1: based customer support team to help you find the perfect
6:58
Speaker 1: plan and to save money. And if you own a
7:00
Speaker 1: business or a small business, they have a division that
7:03
Speaker 1: just works on switching multiple lines over easily. So right now,
7:07
Speaker 1: go to Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or call them
7:13
Speaker 1: nine to seven to two Patriot. You're going to get
7:15
Speaker 1: a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
7:18
Speaker 1: So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
7:20
Speaker 1: every call you make Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson
7:25
Speaker 1: or nine to seven to two Patriot.
7:27
Speaker 2: Now, if you want to know what.
7:28
Speaker 1: Democrats, by the way, are doing on the other side
7:30
Speaker 1: of this, top Democrat has actually come out in the
7:33
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours and said illegals deported by Trump
7:38
Speaker 1: quote should have been afforded the right to deny their
7:43
Speaker 1: gang membership even though they're.
7:45
Speaker 2: Tatted up with gang tattoos.
7:49
Speaker 1: Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, the ranking member
7:54
Speaker 1: of the House Judiciary Committee, says hundreds of illegal aliens
7:57
Speaker 1: should have been.
7:58
Speaker 2: Afforded that right, and they denied that.
8:00
Speaker 1: Right that they were associated with the Trends Deiragua or
8:04
Speaker 1: MS thirteen games before they were deported from the United
8:07
Speaker 1: States by President Donald Trump's administration. Trump invoked the Alien's
8:12
Speaker 1: Enemy Act to begin deporting hundreds of illegal alien gang
8:16
Speaker 1: members win the TDA Gang and the MS thirteen gangs,
8:20
Speaker 1: both of which are now designated as terrorist organizations. We're
8:24
Speaker 1: clearly flooding this country. There are two deportation fights that
8:29
Speaker 1: were underway. They were headed you may remember the El
8:31
Speaker 1: Salvador's mega prison. Two left wing groups sued, and the
8:35
Speaker 1: judge involved issued a temporary restraining order stopping Trump from
8:40
Speaker 1: using the Alien Enemies Act to deport more gang members. Well,
8:43
Speaker 1: on Wednesday, an appellate court upheld Moseburg's ability to block
8:48
Speaker 1: Trump from deporting gang members under the Alien Enemies Act. Now,
8:54
Speaker 1: Raskin is demanding the Trump administration handover details regarding the
8:59
Speaker 1: deportation flights to El Salvador, even as the Attorney General
9:03
Speaker 1: Pambondis has said such details are protected under the state
9:07
Speaker 1: secret privileges.
9:09
Speaker 2: According to Raskin, the illegal.
9:11
Speaker 1: Aliens should have been allowed to defend themselves against the
9:13
Speaker 1: Immigration and Customs enforcement assertion that they were gang members.
9:17
Speaker 2: You can't make this up.
9:19
Speaker 1: He then said, I write to demand answers about the
9:21
Speaker 1: administration's jews of the Alien Enemies Act to forcibly remove
9:27
Speaker 1: non citizens from the interior of the United States to
9:30
Speaker 1: the dangerous prison in Ol Salvador. Just to be clear,
9:35
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is so broken right now and hates
9:38
Speaker 1: Trump so much that they.
9:40
Speaker 2: Are now actively being the legal system.
9:43
Speaker 1: The lawyers for these gang members who have been wreaked
9:48
Speaker 1: hell on American citizens, who have raped children, who have
9:52
Speaker 1: killed Americans, who have sold fetnyl that has killed countless Americans,
9:57
Speaker 1: and the Democrats are now defending them. He goes on
10:00
Speaker 1: to write, the idea that the president of the United
10:02
Speaker 1: States can merely declare that the US is being invaded
10:06
Speaker 1: not by a foreign country but by a criminal gang,
10:08
Speaker 1: and then ship people off to yet another country to
10:10
Speaker 1: hand them over to a foreign.
10:11
Speaker 2: Dictator is shocking, quote unquote.
10:14
Speaker 1: Moreover, the Democrat wrote, it is terrifying to think that
10:17
Speaker 1: these people being held indefinitely in an authoritarian megaprison, were
10:22
Speaker 1: sent there without any opportunity in America to appear, to
10:25
Speaker 1: appear before a judge hear the evidence against them established
10:30
Speaker 1: that theirs is a case of mistaken identity, or challenge
10:34
Speaker 1: these substant of claims against them. So let's just take
10:38
Speaker 1: a moment and reflect, the Democrats and the Republicans, we
10:43
Speaker 1: are not the same. The Democratic Party now has decided
10:47
Speaker 1: that the best way for them to recruit voters is
10:51
Speaker 1: to stand up for the hardcore criminals in two gangs
10:57
Speaker 1: that are so vicious that they've been declared terrorists organizations.
11:03
Speaker 2: That's number one.
11:05
Speaker 1: Number two, they are defending these individuals that have killed
11:10
Speaker 1: countless Americans and that have raped children in America and
11:16
Speaker 1: have sold the drugs that have killed countless Americans. Again,
11:22
Speaker 1: let that sink in. So if you want to know
11:24
Speaker 1: which side they're on, they're sure as hell not on
11:27
Speaker 1: the side of Americans. They're on the side of the
11:29
Speaker 1: actual terrorist organizations that are the most vicious gangs.
11:34
Speaker 2: In all the world.
11:36
Speaker 1: All right, I want to move now to another big
11:38
Speaker 1: story that the media is absolutely lying to the American
11:42
Speaker 1: people about. The story headline looks like it could be
11:46
Speaker 1: a scandal. The White House is withdrawing representative Sephonics nomination
11:52
Speaker 1: as the UN ambassador. Naturally, people think, oh my gosh,
11:56
Speaker 1: what did you do wrong?
11:58
Speaker 2: What happened? Why is it?
12:00
Speaker 1: But they have stopped this and what is the scandal
12:03
Speaker 1: behind it?
12:04
Speaker 2: Well, let me explain it to you very clearly.
12:06
Speaker 1: There is no scandal at all if you actually understand
12:10
Speaker 1: why they decide to pull her name for that nomination.
12:14
Speaker 2: Now, let's go back in time and I'm going to
12:15
Speaker 2: walk you through this.
12:17
Speaker 1: In November of twenty twenty four, President Donald Trump nominated
12:21
Speaker 1: Representative of Stefanic of New York to serve as the
12:23
Speaker 1: United States Ambassador the UN. Now, if you actually know
12:27
Speaker 1: what is going on, what I'm about to tell you
12:30
Speaker 1: is actually not a big deal makes a lot of sense.
12:34
Speaker 1: There is a reason why President Trump withdrew her nomination
12:38
Speaker 1: on Thursday, emphasizing the critical need to maintain the Republican
12:44
Speaker 1: Party's narrow majority in the House of Representatives, He stated, quote,
12:48
Speaker 1: as we advanced our America First agenda, it is essential
12:52
Speaker 1: that we maintain every Republican seat in Congress. Now at
12:57
Speaker 1: the time, this is the numbers. Publicans are holding a
13:01
Speaker 1: very slim majority to eighteen to two thirteen in the House.
13:05
Speaker 1: There are four vacant seats right now, and Stephanic's departure
13:09
Speaker 1: to assume the UN ambassador role would have well necessitated
13:13
Speaker 1: a's special election to filler congressional seat.
13:16
Speaker 2: Here's the problem.
13:17
Speaker 1: This is not a seat that is in a place
13:19
Speaker 1: that you would just guarantee that a.
13:20
Speaker 2: Republican would win.
13:22
Speaker 1: That could easily jeopardize the GOP's ability to pass Donald
13:27
Speaker 1: Trump's key legislation. House Speaker Mike Johnson, by the way,
13:31
Speaker 1: coming out supporting the decision, as well, highlighting Sephank's vital
13:36
Speaker 1: role in advancing the party's legislative priorities. Now, Sephonic, who
13:41
Speaker 1: represented New York's twenty first districts in twenty fifteen, had
13:45
Speaker 1: previously stepped down from her position as chair of the
13:48
Speaker 1: House Republican Conference in anticipation of her ambassadorial appointment. Her
13:55
Speaker 1: continued presence in Congress is seen as crucial for maintaining
13:59
Speaker 1: part unity and ensuring the passage of significant initiatives on
14:03
Speaker 1: the Republican agenda. So let's just step back and let
14:07
Speaker 1: you totally understand this. There is nothing here except for
14:12
Speaker 1: Republicans making the right decision. Let me also be clear
14:16
Speaker 1: that I think that if Republicans gain in the House
14:18
Speaker 1: in the midterms, there's a very good chance that Representative
14:21
Speaker 1: Elise to Phonic could then go back and get a
14:23
Speaker 1: major job in this administration. She would have been perfect
14:27
Speaker 1: to be the US Ambassador United Nations. But it doesn't
14:30
Speaker 1: matter as much if you lose control of the House
14:32
Speaker 1: and it stalls Donald Trump's agenda of putting America First.
14:37
Speaker 1: We must be unified to accomplish our mission and Elistephonic
14:41
Speaker 1: has been a vital part of our efforts from the
14:43
Speaker 1: very beginning. Trump also wrote, I've asked eleast as one
14:47
Speaker 1: of my biggest allies to remain in Congress quote unquote
14:52
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, making it clear that he is a huge
14:55
Speaker 1: fan of her work and is basically saying, I know
14:59
Speaker 1: you'd be great at this other job, but right now
15:02
Speaker 1: I need you in Congress. So there's no doubt that
15:05
Speaker 1: we get the America First Agenda passed.
15:08
Speaker 2: So now let's talk about the agenda items.
15:11
Speaker 1: For example that if Stephanic left, would be in major
15:13
Speaker 1: jeopardy of never happening. A perfect example of that is
15:16
Speaker 1: the real chance of defunding MPR in PBS. Now I
15:21
Speaker 1: played for you yesterday some of the moments in that
15:25
Speaker 1: debate over doge and government waste and spending at these
15:29
Speaker 1: two organizations. Now, President Trump has called on Congress officially
15:34
Speaker 1: to stop giving taxpayer money to National Public Radio INPR
15:39
Speaker 1: and the Public Broadcasting Service PBS, saying it this way,
15:43
Speaker 1: quote MPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms.
15:48
Speaker 1: Networks should be defunded by Congress immediately. Republicans don't miss
15:53
Speaker 1: this opportunity to rint our country of this giant scam,
15:57
Speaker 1: both being.
15:58
Speaker 2: Arms of the radical left Democratic Party.
16:01
Speaker 1: Then he wrote in all caps, just say no and
16:04
Speaker 1: make America great again, Trump posting that on True Social
16:09
Speaker 1: Trump also asked the Federal Communications Commission Chair Brennan Carr
16:13
Speaker 1: to open an investigation to determine if MPR PBS violated federal.
16:18
Speaker 2: Law by airing commercials.
16:21
Speaker 1: The heads of the two media outlets on Wednesday faced
16:24
Speaker 1: intense questioning for Republican members of Congress over the alleged
16:29
Speaker 1: liberal bias and their reporting and content. Where the big
16:33
Speaker 1: moments was when Representative Margory Taylor Green scolded the executives, saying, quote,
16:38
Speaker 1: MPR and PBS have increasingly become radical left wing echo
16:42
Speaker 1: chambers for a narrow audience of mostly wealthy, white urban
16:46
Speaker 1: liberals and progressives who generally look down and judge rural America. Also,
16:52
Speaker 1: as you know it is flyover country. Green added, we
16:55
Speaker 1: believe that you all can hate us on your own dime.
16:59
Speaker 1: Senator John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, said this month
17:04
Speaker 1: is a month to act, and he introduced legislation to
17:07
Speaker 1: in federal funding for NPR and PBS, about one percent
17:11
Speaker 1: of MPR is federally funded, according to the outlet, while
17:14
Speaker 1: about sixteen percent of PBS comes directly from tax dollars. Now,
17:19
Speaker 1: you may say, what's one percent of a budget, Well,
17:22
Speaker 1: it equates to about five hundred million of your tax
17:25
Speaker 1: dollars each and every year going to PBS and NPR. Now, Republicans,
17:32
Speaker 1: and I'm one of them, that have threatened for a
17:34
Speaker 1: long time, are said we should strip funding for MPR
17:38
Speaker 1: and PBS. But the problem is in Congress we've had
17:41
Speaker 1: quite a few well squishy Republicans that have never actually
17:45
Speaker 1: done it. Nearly twice as many Americans support the continued
17:49
Speaker 1: federal funding of public media outlets as opposed it that,
17:52
Speaker 1: according to a survey release Wednesday by the Research Center.
17:57
Speaker 2: Here's the issue.
17:58
Speaker 1: Though many times Americans have no clue what their money
18:01
Speaker 1: is going for. They just think Sesame Street's good, and
18:05
Speaker 1: MPR is good, our PBS is good. So why would
18:08
Speaker 1: we want to stop funding it? Well, if you explain
18:11
Speaker 1: to the American people exactly what they're doing with those dollars,
18:14
Speaker 1: and that's what they're doing on Capitol Hill, it'll be
18:17
Speaker 1: very interesting to see how quickly these polls can change. Well,
18:21
Speaker 1: not a majority by the way, but forty three percent
18:24
Speaker 1: of those surveyed said the federal government should continue to
18:27
Speaker 1: fund MPR and PBS at present levels. Twenty four percent
18:30
Speaker 1: said the government should stop funding the outlets, and thirty
18:33
Speaker 1: three percent of Americans said they weren't sure what to do,
18:37
Speaker 1: meaning that there needs to be more information given the
18:41
Speaker 1: American people about just how biased and corrupt these two
18:44
Speaker 1: organizations are. Now, if you break it down by party,
18:48
Speaker 1: and this is some very interesting polling, thirty two percent
18:51
Speaker 1: of Democrats said they regularly get their news from MPR,
18:55
Speaker 1: Only nine percent of Republicans said the same thing. Thirty
18:58
Speaker 1: one percent of Democrats, by the way, and only eleven
19:01
Speaker 1: percent of Republicans say.
19:03
Speaker 2: They regularly watch PBS.
19:05
Speaker 1: There's also a nostalgia aspect of these two organizations. Many
19:09
Speaker 1: think that if you defund them then they're going to disappear.
19:12
Speaker 1: That's also not true, which goes back to what Margley
19:15
Speaker 1: Taylor Green said, If you want to hate us and
19:18
Speaker 1: our values, you can do it on your own dime.
19:21
Speaker 1: There is no doubt that NPR and PBS can make
19:24
Speaker 1: money and they do not need our tax dours to
19:27
Speaker 1: subsidize them. Yes, they may actually have to run it
19:30
Speaker 1: like a real company where they cut bloat and waste
19:33
Speaker 1: and fraud and abuse, and you know, just actually lay
19:36
Speaker 1: some people off and streamline their operations. But they can
19:40
Speaker 1: survive on their own, which is another reason why there
19:43
Speaker 1: is no logical reason why our tax dollars should be
19:47
Speaker 1: going to these radical news organizations. There's another reason why
19:52
Speaker 1: Democrats are angry over this because they've had two major
19:56
Speaker 1: networks in essence, just as Donald Trump said, that have
19:59
Speaker 1: been running their propaganda for decades. And yes, NPR and
20:04
Speaker 1: PBS do in fact have large audiences.
20:07
Speaker 2: One of them has a very large audience.
20:09
Speaker 1: Of children, your children or your grandchildren, and many of
20:14
Speaker 1: their programs that they now have for those kids are
20:18
Speaker 1: about pushing radical and alternative lifestyles. They have spent millions
20:23
Speaker 1: of dollars pushing LGBTQ on kids and your grandkids programming.
20:29
Speaker 1: They've even had drag queens put into cartoon characters. And
20:34
Speaker 1: that is the problem with MPR and PBS, and that's
20:37
Speaker 1: exactly why it's time that we advocate for stopping this funding.
20:42
Speaker 2: Now, this is where you, as a voter comes in.
20:45
Speaker 1: You got to start calling your congressman and your senators.
20:49
Speaker 2: And tell them that you're in favor of this.
20:51
Speaker 1: One of the reasons why many times Republicans get squishy
20:54
Speaker 1: on these issues is they're afraid that they're in the minority.
20:57
Speaker 1: I think once the American people know where their money's going,
21:00
Speaker 1: there's no doubt this.
21:01
Speaker 2: Is something we can win on.
21:03
Speaker 1: And just be honest about who you are. Hey, no
21:05
Speaker 1: Republicans allowed. We got eighty seven editoral people that are
21:08
Speaker 1: Democrats as a democratic communist organization. Come on it, and
21:12
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be that, then be intellectually honest about it.
21:14
Speaker 1: But don't take my damn tax dollars to push your
21:18
Speaker 1: state sponsored media. I want to go back to what
21:22
Speaker 1: we were talking about earlier with NPR. So if you
21:26
Speaker 1: thought that MPR was gonna get away and PBS was
21:29
Speaker 1: gonna get away with wasting your government dollars, things did
21:34
Speaker 1: not go well. Later in the questioning for the NPR president,
21:41
Speaker 1: Representative Brandon Gill asking a very simple question and then
21:46
Speaker 1: the lie from the MPR CEO.
21:49
Speaker 4: Listen, it's interesting because a lot of your thinking, as
21:52
Speaker 4: expressed by your public statements, is deeply infused with economic
21:57
Speaker 4: and cultural Marxism. Do you believe that a mayor is
22:00
Speaker 4: addicted to white supremacy.
22:03
Speaker 5: I believe that I tweeted that, and as I've said earlier,
22:06
Speaker 5: I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the
22:08
Speaker 5: last half decade.
22:09
Speaker 3: It has evolved. Why did you tweet that?
22:12
Speaker 5: I don't recall the exact context, sir, so I wouldn't
22:15
Speaker 5: be able to say.
22:16
Speaker 4: Okay, do you believe that America believes in black plunder
22:19
Speaker 4: and white democracy?
22:21
Speaker 5: I don't believe that, sir.
22:24
Speaker 3: You tweet it.
22:25
Speaker 4: It's reference to a book you were reading at the time,
22:28
Speaker 4: apparently The Case for Reparations.
22:30
Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever read that book, Sir.
22:32
Speaker 3: You tweeted about it.
22:34
Speaker 4: You said you took a day off to fully read
22:37
Speaker 4: The Case for Reparations.
22:38
Speaker 3: You put that on Twitter in January of twenty twenty.
22:41
Speaker 5: I apologies. I don't recall that I did. Okay, no
22:45
Speaker 5: doubt that your tweet there is correct, but I don't recall.
22:48
Speaker 4: Okay, do you believe that white people inherently feel superior
22:52
Speaker 4: to other races?
22:53
Speaker 5: I do not.
22:55
Speaker 4: You tweeted something to that effect. You said I grew
22:58
Speaker 4: up feeling superior.
22:59
Speaker 5: Ha.
22:59
Speaker 3: How why did you tweet that?
23:02
Speaker 5: I think I was probably reflecting on what it was
23:05
Speaker 5: to be to grow up in an environment where I
23:08
Speaker 5: had lots of advantages.
23:09
Speaker 3: It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior.
23:13
Speaker 5: I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I
23:16
Speaker 5: was just reflecting on my own experience.
23:17
Speaker 3: Do you think the white people should pay reparations?
23:20
Speaker 5: I have never said that, sir.
23:22
Speaker 3: Yes you did. You said it in January of twenty twenty.
23:25
Speaker 4: You tweeted, yes, the North, yes, all of us, Yes, America, Yes,
23:29
Speaker 4: our original collective sin and unpaid debt.
23:31
Speaker 3: Yes, reparations, yes on this day.
23:34
Speaker 5: I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparations, sir.
23:37
Speaker 3: What kind of reparations was it a reference to.
23:39
Speaker 5: I think it was just a reference to the idea
23:41
Speaker 5: that we all owe much to the people who came
23:43
Speaker 5: before us.
23:44
Speaker 4: That's a bizarre way to frame what you tweeted. Okay,
23:50
Speaker 4: many how much reparations have you personally paid?
23:53
Speaker 5: Sir? I don't believe that I've ever paid reparations?
23:57
Speaker 4: Okay, just for everybody else, asking anyone who's to be
24:01
Speaker 4: what you're suggesting.
24:02
Speaker 3: Do you believe that looting is morally wrong?
24:04
Speaker 5: I believe that looting is illegal, and I refer to
24:07
Speaker 5: it as counterproductive. I think it should be prosecuted.
24:09
Speaker 3: Do you believe it's morally wrong though?
24:11
Speaker 5: Of course?
24:12
Speaker 4: Of course, then why did you refer to it as counterproductive?
24:15
Speaker 4: Very different, very different way to describe it.
24:18
Speaker 5: It is both morally wrong and counterproductive, as well as.
24:21
Speaker 3: Being be tweeted. It's hard to be mad about protests.
24:24
Speaker 4: In reference to the BLM protests not prioritizing the private
24:28
Speaker 4: property of a system of oppression. You didn't condemn the looting,
24:32
Speaker 4: you said that it was counter productive. NPR also promoted
24:37
Speaker 4: a book called in Defensive Looting.
24:39
Speaker 3: Do you think that that's an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars?
24:42
Speaker 5: I'm unfamiliar with that book, sir, and I don't believe
24:45
Speaker 5: that was.
24:45
Speaker 3: A tweeted that you read that book.
24:47
Speaker 5: But I don't believe that I did read that book, sir.
24:50
Speaker 4: Do you think that a few years ago INPR educated
24:54
Speaker 4: America about quote the whole community of gender queer dinosaur enthusiast.
24:59
Speaker 4: Do you think that that's inappropriate use of tax dollars?
25:02
Speaker 5: I was not an MPR at the time.
25:04
Speaker 4: That's not the question, though. Do you think that that's
25:05
Speaker 4: an appropriate use of our tax dollars?
25:07
Speaker 5: I think our tax dollars that we use are to
25:10
Speaker 5: be able to provide a wide range and take.
25:12
Speaker 3: I'll take that as a yes, you do believe that
25:13
Speaker 3: that's appropriate.
25:15
Speaker 4: Your health advisor at NPR also stated in an interview
25:18
Speaker 4: that quote, fear of fatness is more harmful than actual fat.
25:23
Speaker 4: Would you like to explain how fear of fatness is
25:25
Speaker 4: more harmful than actual fat? That's directly that's an editorial NPR.
25:29
Speaker 5: I am not familiar with the editorial, and I don't
25:31
Speaker 5: believe that was published during my time here.
25:33
Speaker 4: It's called diet culture is everywhere. Here's how to fight it.
25:36
Speaker 4: Do you think that that's an appropriate use of taxpayer dollars?
25:39
Speaker 5: I think any reporting on health is an appropriate use.
25:42
Speaker 4: You spent dollars, Yes, And you think that editorializing that
25:45
Speaker 4: fat is not unhealthy is appropriate?
25:48
Speaker 5: I don't know that what that article is, sir, and
25:50
Speaker 5: I'm not familiar with it.
25:51
Speaker 3: With student said fake news.
25:53
Speaker 4: Do you think that basic accommodations like doorways or seat
25:57
Speaker 4: belts represent quote latent fat phobia?
26:01
Speaker 5: I don't have an opinion.
26:01
Speaker 4: It's also from NPR. Do you think cibility is racist? No, sir, No,
26:07
Speaker 4: Your outlet ran an article entitled quote when civility is
26:10
Speaker 4: used as a cudgel against people of color?
26:13
Speaker 3: That was on All Things considered.
26:15
Speaker 5: Would you like to explain, Well, I'm not on the
26:17
Speaker 5: editorial side. Sorry, I'm not familiar with that story.
26:20
Speaker 4: You talk about how NPR is news. This is editorialization,
26:24
Speaker 4: and I'll read it. For many people of color in
26:26
Speaker 4: the United States, civility isn't so much social lubricant as
26:30
Speaker 4: it is a vehicle for containing them, preventing social mobility,
26:33
Speaker 4: and preserving the status.
26:35
Speaker 3: Quote. This is garbage.
26:37
Speaker 4: I'll spend all of my time doing everything I can do,
26:40
Speaker 4: and sure you guys never get another dollar of taxpayer funding.
26:43
Speaker 3: This is complete garbage. Thank you, madam chair.
26:48
Speaker 1: Now you listen to this NPR CEO. She makes a
26:50
Speaker 1: lot of money. It's subsidized by your tax hours. She
26:54
Speaker 1: was clearly caught off guard after Representative Gil just started
26:59
Speaker 1: reading her has tweets to her one by one. That
27:03
Speaker 1: is what you I referred to as a brutal takedown
27:06
Speaker 1: using someone's own words.
27:10
Speaker 2: This was not and I got you moment.
27:12
Speaker 1: This was saying, hey, I went and looked at your tweets,
27:16
Speaker 1: and this is what you were saying when it comes
27:19
Speaker 1: to your tweets like these are your words?
27:24
Speaker 2: And how many different times did she say my tweet
27:30
Speaker 2: is real.
27:31
Speaker 1: Like my prolific radical left wing ideology as the CEO
27:38
Speaker 1: of NPR, Yes, this is what I believe.
27:41
Speaker 2: This is what I'm using this for. Right, I'm using
27:45
Speaker 2: all of this for that reason.
27:47
Speaker 1: And so you look at how again this goes back
27:51
Speaker 1: to our money.
27:52
Speaker 2: This goes back to what people care about.
27:55
Speaker 1: There are many Americans that if you listen to that clip,
27:58
Speaker 1: and I hope you'll take it, and I hope you'll
27:59
Speaker 1: share it on social media. I hope you share the
28:01
Speaker 1: show so other people can hear it. They don't know
28:04
Speaker 1: that this is what the CEO of MPR is actually doing.
28:06
Speaker 1: They have no idea that this is happening, right, no
28:10
Speaker 1: clue at all that this is actually going down. And
28:15
Speaker 1: part of this is just saying, you want to know
28:17
Speaker 1: who's running these organizations. Listen to their own words, listen
28:21
Speaker 1: to their tweets, listen to what they say. Now, want
28:25
Speaker 1: to move to two other things real quick that are
28:27
Speaker 1: also a big deal.
28:28
Speaker 2: This is coming out of Washington.
28:30
Speaker 1: DC officials are now detailing the arrests of a top
28:34
Speaker 1: MS thirteen gang leader that is running this gang and
28:38
Speaker 1: their operations throughout the United States of America. The FBI
28:43
Speaker 1: Director Cash Pttel saying this about grabbing this MS thirteen
28:47
Speaker 1: leader that by the way, the Biden administration could have grabbed,
28:50
Speaker 1: but deliberately chose not to.
28:53
Speaker 6: This is what happens when you let good cops be cops,
28:56
Speaker 6: and we're going to continue to let good cops be
28:57
Speaker 6: cops across this country. And Trump gave us the executive
29:01
Speaker 6: decision to go after and safeguard our communities. General Bondi
29:04
Speaker 6: is our worry of justice leading that charge. Governor Youngkin,
29:07
Speaker 6: It's an honor to be a partner in this operation
29:10
Speaker 6: with you and.
29:10
Speaker 3: US Attorney Seabird.
29:12
Speaker 6: This is the mandate we have right now. We have
29:15
Speaker 6: an American dying every seven minutes from a drug overdose.
29:19
Speaker 6: That is a national security crisis we have not seen
29:22
Speaker 6: ever before.
29:23
Speaker 3: We have a woman or child.
29:24
Speaker 6: Being raped every six and a half minutes in this country.
29:27
Speaker 6: We have a homicide twice an hour. No part of
29:31
Speaker 6: that metric is a safe and secure America. But thanks
29:34
Speaker 6: to the brave leadership of this administration and the folks
29:36
Speaker 6: that you see here, we are returning our communities to safety.
29:41
Speaker 6: As you heard, we took down this morning a top
29:44
Speaker 6: leader of MS thirteen. That is not done easily, that
29:47
Speaker 6: is done with brilliant law enforcement. And right here, I'm proud,
29:50
Speaker 6: and I think the governor knows I'm biased, having graduated
29:53
Speaker 6: from the University of Richmond to have this here in
29:55
Speaker 6: the state of Virginia. I'm here in our Northern Virginia
29:58
Speaker 6: Resident Agency with our partners, with our Washington Field Office
30:01
Speaker 6: and our special agents, our SOS folks are Intel analysts,
30:04
Speaker 6: and our support staff.
30:07
Speaker 1: You listen to Cash Hotel there and he says, this
30:10
Speaker 1: is what happens when you let good cops be cops. Right,
30:16
Speaker 1: this is exactly what happens. Let us be good cops,
30:20
Speaker 1: Let us do our job. Let us go out.
30:22
Speaker 2: There and find these criminals.
30:25
Speaker 5: You know.
30:25
Speaker 1: Christy Nome going on TV as well, doing a video
30:29
Speaker 1: today from where all those major hardcore gang criminals are
30:34
Speaker 1: being held, and she did an actual statement from there.
30:38
Speaker 2: Here's what she said.
30:40
Speaker 7: Here at SEACAT today and visiting this facility. And first
30:43
Speaker 7: of all, I want to thank El Salvador and their
30:45
Speaker 7: president for their partnership with the United States of America
30:48
Speaker 7: to bring our terrorists here and to incarcerate them and
30:51
Speaker 7: have consequences for the violence that they have perpetuated in
30:54
Speaker 7: our communities. I also want everybody to know if you
30:57
Speaker 7: come to our country illegally, this is one of the
30:59
Speaker 7: consequences you to face. First of all, do not come
31:02
Speaker 7: to our country illegally. You will be removed and you
31:05
Speaker 7: will be prosecuted. But know that this facility is one
31:08
Speaker 7: of the tools that our toolkit that we will use
31:10
Speaker 7: if you commit crimes against the American people.
31:13
Speaker 1: You hear her, and you look behind her, and there's
31:15
Speaker 1: like all of these gang members all tatted up shirts
31:19
Speaker 1: off in this prison. It is clearly I think warfare.
31:24
Speaker 1: I do think that's part of it. It is warfare,
31:29
Speaker 1: that mental warfare that now this administration is using. You
31:32
Speaker 1: want to know where you're going to go if you
31:34
Speaker 1: come in this country and you're one of these individuals.
31:37
Speaker 2: Do you want to know?
31:38
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, do you want to know what is
31:42
Speaker 1: going to happen to you? Do you want to know
31:44
Speaker 1: what's going to happen when you do this? We're going
31:46
Speaker 1: to show you what happens when you do this. This
31:49
Speaker 1: is where you're going to end up. Do not come
31:51
Speaker 1: to America. Do not come to America because if you do,
31:59
Speaker 1: this is exactly what is going to happen to you.
32:01
Speaker 2: We're not screwing around, We're going to do it.
32:04
Speaker 1: So, yes, can you fight these multiple issues at the
32:08
Speaker 1: same time. Yes, is this administration doing one hell of
32:10
Speaker 1: a job. You better believe it. They're doing an amazing job.
32:14
Speaker 1: They're doing an amazing job on all of these fronts.
32:18
Speaker 1: And one last thing I just want to have for you.
32:21
Speaker 1: Elon Musk set down and broke some news with brettbear
32:25
Speaker 1: Over at Fox News Channel, and he said that he
32:29
Speaker 1: believes now that doves can cut fifteen percent from the
32:32
Speaker 1: budget without affecting any critical government services.
32:37
Speaker 4: The budgetary savings goals and how much do you think
32:40
Speaker 4: you've achieved so far?
32:43
Speaker 8: Our goal is to reduce the deficit by a trillion dollars,
32:47
Speaker 8: so from a nominal deficit of two trillion, to track
32:50
Speaker 8: cut deficit in half to one trillion, or looked at
32:53
Speaker 8: it in totlet federal spending, to drop the federal spanning
32:56
Speaker 8: from seven trillion to six trillion. Sort of at a
33:01
Speaker 8: high level, you should think of this as we are.
33:04
Speaker 8: We want to reduce the spending by eliminating waste and
33:08
Speaker 8: forward reduce the spending by fifteen percent, which.
33:11
Speaker 3: Seems really quite achievable.
33:13
Speaker 8: The government is not efficient and there's a lot of
33:17
Speaker 8: waste forward, so we feel confident that fifteen percent reduction
33:21
Speaker 8: can be done without affecting any of the critical government services.
33:28
Speaker 2: Yet again, another victory for Donald Trump. Give me a favor.
33:32
Speaker 1: Make sure you share this podcast with your family, your friends,
33:35
Speaker 1: put it up on social media wherever you are on
33:38
Speaker 1: social media, and I will see you back here tomorrow.
