Race & Politics Collide in Virginia as Democrats Back Explosive Claims plus 58 Shot, 8 Killed in Chicago Violence Surge · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It is insane.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: The Virginia Lieutenant governor, a Democrat, is agreeing now with
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: a professor who literally says the majority of voters in
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Virginia are racists. Why because they're not supporting Democratic candidates
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the way they should.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: To me, what is learning is if we buy the
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: argument that is manufactured indignation as racist overturnes to it,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: then it also tells me that majority of voters in
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Virginia are racist, or at least susceptible to racist dog whistles.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: It's very disturbing. I've been talking, particularly to a lot
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: of young folks who are of Hispanic background or Asian background,
• 0:52
  Speaker 4: and what's really disturbing to them is this idea that
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: racism is so latent and so much a part of
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: the society that people could respond to these kinds of
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: flagrant dog whistles that we heard throughout the Youngkin campaign.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: So there it is Glenn Youngkin, who the majority of
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: people in Virginia chose to be their governor. They're now saying,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: you voted for him, you're racist. Doesn't sound a lot
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: like what they said about Donald Trump a few years ago.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: And that is the Virginia Democratic Lieutenant Governor nominee, saying
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: that she absolutely agrees with his professor who says that
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the majority of the people in the city of Virginia
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: are actually racists. Now I start with that to go
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to another story, one that is also incredibly shocking. This time,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: we're going to go to Illinois, where Donald Trump's Department
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of Justice has just announced that they are having to
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: target Illinois over tuition.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Perks for illegal aliens.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: They're also accusing the state of Illinois of discrimination against
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: United States citizens. The United States Attorney General Pambondi announce
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the filing of a civil complaint in the US District
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Court for the Southern District of Illinois challenging state laws
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: that provide in state tuition as well as scholarships for
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens in Illinois. The complaint alleges the law unconstitutionally
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: discriminates against US citizens who pay more they are not
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: afforded the same reduced tuition rates or scholarships, in direct
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: conflict they say with federal law. The civil complaint filed
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: on Tuesday by the United States Department of Justice against
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: the State of Illinois Governor Pritsker and the Attorney General
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of the state as well as the board of trustees
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: of state universities in Illinois, seeking, they say, to enjoin
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the State of Illinois from enforcing the laws and bringing
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: them into compliance with federal requirements. The complaint, filed on
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: behalf of the United States, seeks to end these specific
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: benefits that were clearly made for illegal immigrants, and these
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: benefits were provided under Illinois state law that require colleges
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: and universities to offer quote in state tuition rates for
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: all aliens who maintain an Illinois residency, regardless of whether
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: those aliens are lawfully present in the United States. Now,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the DOJ also asserted the law's conflict with federal law
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: that prohibits institutions of higher education from providing benefits to
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: illegal aliens that are not offered to US citizens, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: so in this announcement that was issued by Bonding the DOJ,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the agency officials say the Illinois laws bleed stanly go
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: against and conflict with federal law and are thus in
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: conflict with the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: In a statement that's been issued by the DOJ, the
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Attorney General Bondi described the discrimination against United States citizens
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that are not offered the same benefits under the Illinois laws, saying, quote,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: under federal law, schools cannot provide benefits to illegal aliens
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: that they do not provide to US citizens. By the way,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: this is common sense. This Department of Justice has already
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: filed multiple lawsuits to prevent US students from being treated
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: like second class citizens. Illinois now joins the list of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: states where they are relentlessly fighting, she says, to vindicate.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Federal law. Now.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: The complaint aligns with the intent of two executive orders
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that were signed by President Donald Trump earlier that seek
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to ensure that illegal aliens are not obtaining taxpayer benefits
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: or preferential treatment. An executive order signed in February titled
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Ending Taxpayer Subsization of Open Borders, orders all agencies to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: quote ensure to the maximum extent permitted by law, that
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: no taxpayer funded benefits go to unqualified aliens. The second
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: executive order that was signed in April, titled Protecting American
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Communities from Criminal Aliens, also directs relevant officials to quote
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: take appropriate action to stop the enforcement of saint local laws, regulations, policies,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and practices favoring illegal aliens over any group of American
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: citizens that are unlawful, preempted by federal law, or otherwise unforseeable,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: including state laws that provide in state higher education tuition
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to illegal immigrants but do not offer the same benefit
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to out of state American citizens. So to be clear,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: so you understand how egregious this is in Illinois, if
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: you are from another country, break into the United States
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of America and then set up shop in Illinois, they
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: give you in state tuition. If you are an American
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: citizen flying in from California or driving from North Dakota
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: or Georgia or anywhere else and want to go to
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: school in Illinois, you are not afforded the same price
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: as an illegal immigrant who is literally breaking the law. Now,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: the filing of the complaint is just the latest in
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the back and forth between the State of Illinois and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: its leadership and the Trump administration. On Sunday, on CBS's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Face to Nation, the Illinois Governor Prinsker criticize efforts by
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration to reduce crime, for example, in major cities,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: by deploying federal law enforcement and military resources, likening the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: deployments to quote an invasion with US troops. So there
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: you have it, a major story you probably won't hear
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: about anywhere else, and the President of United States of
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: America saying we're going to put American citizens first, not
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: last when it comes to higher education. I want to
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: talk to you about my friends over at Patriot Mobile.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: You've got a lot of choices for cell phone service,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: with new ones popping up all the time. But if
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: you want to make a difference and you want to
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: stop giving your money to liberal companies, well, one way
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you can do that is by getting rid of Liberal
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Mobile you probably have right now. That is where hundreds
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: of thousands of Americans are now coming together and have
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: made Patriot Mobile what they are today. They've been in
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: service now for thirteen years, and right now is the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: best time ever to switch, because it's never been easier. Now,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: before I tell you about that, I want you to
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: know why switching is so important, because every time you
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: make a call, every time you send a text, and
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: every time that you pay your bill, you're actually standing
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: up for the values you believe in. Your First and
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: your Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children. And
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: you stand with our military, our veterans, our wounded warriors,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and our fallen Soldier families because Patriot Mobile takes about
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: five percent of your bill every month at no extra
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: cost to you, and they give it back to these
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: organizations that fight for our values. Now, let's talk about switching.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: It has never been easier. You can keep your same number,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: keep your same phone, or upgrade. Patriot Mobile's got a
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: one hundred percent US based customer service team and literally
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: they can now with technology, get you activated in minutes
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: from the comfort of your home or your office. You're
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: second to contractor owe money on your phones, no worries.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program and this is
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: how we win, folks by aligning our spinning with our values.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: Every dollar we spend matters. Now, let me also give
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you a free month of service. Go to Patriot Mobile
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: or you can call them nine to seven to two
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: Patriot use the promo code ferguson and you're gonna get
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: one month free service by switching today. So again, Patriotmobile
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: dot com slash ferguson, use the promo code ferguson. You'll
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: get a free month of service. Today Patriotmobile dot Com
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: slash Ferguson or nine to seven to two Patriot. There
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is a big debate that is happening in this country,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and the debate is do you want law and order
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: or do you want anarchy and chaos. The Democratic Party
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: has made it clear they're on the side of the
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: criminal everywhere they can find them in this country, including
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: illegal immigrants. They also want you to believe that cities
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: are actually really safe when they are not. So the
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: question you have to ask is who are the American
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: people putting their trust in.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: CNN had a very interesting poll that just came out,
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: and guess what it showed. Americans are overwhelmingly preferring President
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump's approach to crime fighting over what they had
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: with Joe Biden.
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: Okay, I think this sort of gives the game away
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: here because Donald Trump is like Air Jordan, towering over
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Joe Biden when it comes to their handling a crime.
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: Look in twenty twenty four, look at where Biden's net
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: approver was on crime Way on the water there at
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: minus twenty six points. It was one of Biden's ware issues. Granted,
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: pretty much every issue was one of Biden's war Isshues.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: And again, look at where Donald Trump is way, way,
• 10:42
  Speaker 5: way above Joe Biden.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: What is that? That's twenty seven points.
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: So Americans vastly prefer Donald Trump's approach to crime than
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: they ditch to Joe Biden's. And again, I think it
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: gets back to the point that Americans are far more
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: hawkish on crime than a lot of Democrats want to admit.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: I love how they refer to Donald Trump as Michael Jordan.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: He is just killing it when it comes to fighting crime,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and the American people are behind him. But if you
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: look at what the Democrats are doing right now, they're
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: doing everything they can to keep those that commit crimes
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: in this country mains. Democratic Secretary of State is now
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: admitting non citizen residents are registered to vote in her state.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Blatant disregard for the law is how it is being
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: described by GOP lawmakers in Maine after the Democrats, Yes,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: all right, fine, we admit it. Non citizens are registered
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: to vote and are voting in our state. Which brings
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: us to another big story. There is a myth that
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: there's only major cartel activity at our southern border border
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: states and it's not really anywhere else that is what
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: the media has been saying, and that's what Democrats have
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: been saying, and they also want you to that's, you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: not that bad. Well, if you want to know how
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: big the network is a criminal activity, look at the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: newest data that's just come out. One hundred and seventy
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: one Cineloa cartel members have been arrested in New England.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: That's pretty darn far from the southern border. The Drug
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Enforcement Administration you know them as the DA, in New
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: England say that they arrested more than one hundred and
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: seventy members of the Cineloa drug cartel during a recent
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: crackdown operation. The arrests led to the seizure of more
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: than twenty two thousand counterfeit pills, fetnyl powder, and packaging
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: branded with the Cineloa cartel logo.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: The DEA Special.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Agent in charge for the New England Field Division said
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: to twenty five News in Boston that the Cineloa cartel
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: is public.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Enemy number one in England.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: The DA agent also told the local news outlet that
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: during a week long nationwide crackdown, one hundred and seventy
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: one cartel members were arrested in New England area. Alone,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: a number they say is truly shocking. Why are you
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: not hearing about this story on the national news. That
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: is the question that everyone should be asking, And there's
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: a very good answer to it, because if they tell
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: you that the cartels are controlling New England, then you
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: realize it's not actually a border issue anymore. I want
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: you to take a listen to the local news and
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: what they said to their citizens about just how bad
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: the cartel movement is in Boston and the surrounding area.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: The Federal Drug Enforcement Administration says a week long cartel
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: crackdown led to nearly two hundred arrests just in New England.
• 13:51
  Speaker 6: The DEA says they were all members of the Sinaloa cartel,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: the largest drug cartel in the world. Twenty five investigates
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: went one on one with the DEA special Agent in
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: charge about their recent operation. He says the vast Sineloa
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: network has deep roots in New England.
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: There are public Enemy number one.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: Jared Fourge, the Special Agent in charge of DEA's New
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: England Field Division, says last week the DEA set out
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: to arrest as many members of the Mexico based Cineloa
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: cartel as possible. New England saw the highest number of
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: regional arrests at one seventy one, with forty nine in Massachusetts,
• 14:26
  Speaker 6: thirty three in New Hampshire. Connecticut saw the most at
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: sixty four.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: Do you think people would be surprised to learn how
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: many members of that cartel are operating, probably in plain sight,
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: in their communities.
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: Sure so, Sineloa cartel in every single state across America,
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: more than forty countries around the world, and obviously they're
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: at every state throughout New England.
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: What's their number one product they pushed?
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: Is it the pills?
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: So we see fetanhl powder, and we see counterfeit pills,
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: pills that are made to look like legitimate pills, notably
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: thirty M.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: Thirty pills are counterfeit oxy codone. But FOURGET says they're
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: also increasingly seeing counterfeit stimulant pills made to look like
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: Adderall FOURGE showed us some of the more than twenty
• 15:12
  Speaker 6: two thousand pills and other drug sees during the operation,
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: like signature purple fentanel and some drug packaging even displaying
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: the sinealoa cartel stamp.
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: I'm a dea agent. I cannot tell the difference between
• 15:25
  Speaker 7: a fake one and a real one.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: So we need to.
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: Remind parents, schools, caregivers, everybody in the community have those
• 15:32
  Speaker 7: conversations with each other, have them with your kids.
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: Forge says. The cartel targets unsuspecting young people online through
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: common social media apps. Many have no idea they're buying
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: potentially deadly counterfeit pills. One hundred and seventy one arrests
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: throughout New England.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: Does that make a dent.
• 15:51
  Speaker 7: Where the DEA We're not going after low level retail
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: drug traffickers. We are going after drug trafficking organizations, the networks.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: How do you disrupt something that is so large, so vast,
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: and seemingly so powerful.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Right, it's an ongoing battle, one that we cannot we
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: can't afford to give up. Right, it's the Cinelol cartel
• 16:10
  Speaker 7: is a threat to public safety, our public health, and
• 16:14
  Speaker 7: our national security as a country.
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: This year, the Centers for Disease Control reported, while drug
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: overdose deaths are declining, overdose is the leading cause of
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: death for young people ages eighteen to forty five.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: You notice one of the really important things that was
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: said there by the DEA. They said the cartels are everywhere.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Not only did he say that, but he said, I'm
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: a dea agent. I cannot tell the difference between an
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: actual pill and a counterfeit pill that can take your
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: life with fetanol. He also talked about the other warning
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: about stimulants. Many kids will use riddling and adderall and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: actually use it because they're trying to study things like
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that in college every year turn deadly when they buy
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: what they think is an actual prescription pill, and in
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: reality it is from the cartel. They don't care if
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: you die. They just need you to buy the product
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: and move it quickly, which brings us back to the
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: other basic issue. There are two different sides of this story.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Now you're either on the side of holding those accountable
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: that are doing this and going after them. The Presence
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: made it clear that's what he's doing, and now the
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: American people are saying very clearly that what they want
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: is for Donald Trump to continue doing this. There are
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: other states they're doing everything they can to say we're
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: not going to get involved. We're not going to give
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: in to President Trump wanting law and order. We are
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: going to fight you at every step of the way.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: One example of that is Adam schiff on if the
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: drop in DC crime after the Fed serge should be celebrated.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: You know what his.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Response was, I can't analyze DC's numbers, but guard in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: La was bad. Yes, So even when the numbers drop,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party refuses to admit it's an actual good
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: thing for the country.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 18:18
  Speaker 9: So Trump, he as referred to himself as the chief
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: law enforcement officer of the country, right, as opposed to
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: Commander in chief, right, A nuance that matters. But he says, Senator,
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: as you know, he says this is about combating crime,
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: and he says it's working in Washington, d C. Where,
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: of course you are tonight. So when you look at
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: the numbers there though, this is according to Washington DC's
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: official database last week. I know you're familiar with these numbers,
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: but here they are.
• 18:41
  Speaker 10: If forty four.
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: Percent decrease in violent crime in the three weeks since
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: the federal surge, right, compared to the same period a
• 18:50
  Speaker 9: year ago. That includes a forty four percent drop in
• 18:53
  Speaker 9: homicides compared to the same time last year. So I mean,
• 18:57
  Speaker 9: if that is the outcome of what he's done, is
• 19:01
  Speaker 9: that something to actually celebrate?
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: Well, I don't think I can analyze what DC's crime
• 19:07
  Speaker 11: numbers were, but I can't say this about Los Angeles
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: and the deployment of troops there. First of all, it
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: was completely unnecessary.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Notice the massive jump there. He doesn't want to talk
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: about what worked in Washington, d C. Because he knows
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the city where he's speaking from is safer now that
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: it's been in years, So he decides to go to
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: La instead. Adam Shift an individual who's saying I would
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: rather hate on Donald Trump than protect American citizens, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: when asked a simple question about, hey, the data shows
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: it's working, he refuses to even accept it and moves on,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: which is all encompassing of the Democratic Party, which brings
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: us back to my original point. There are two sides
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: to this story, and the American people seem to be
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: overwhelmed on the side of what Donald Trump is doing
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: to fight crime coast to coast. So what happened over
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Labor Day weekend in Chicago is truly shocking, but it's
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: become normal in that liberal city. The Associated Press is
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: now reporting eight people were murdered fifty were wounded across
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: thirty seven shootings from Friday to Monday. NBC News Chicago
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: updated its figures, stating that as a Monday night, there
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: were fifty eight people that were shot and eight killed
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: across the city, several others in critical condition. ABC News
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: also counted fifty eight shot, including eight fatalities. So what
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: does the mayor and the governor say of Illinois and Chicago?
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: They say, we don't have a violence problem, that everything
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: is fine. The President was asked about at the White House,
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: and here's what he had to say about what we're
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: witnessing right now.
• 20:58
  Speaker 12: Chicago's very interesting because they Pritzker get up and say
• 21:01
  Speaker 12: about we don't need help, we're safe. But two weeks
• 21:04
  Speaker 12: ago they had six people murdered, murdered, and they had
• 21:10
  Speaker 12: twenty four people hit by bullets. Last week, as you know,
• 21:14
  Speaker 12: with seven people, twenty four people hit and seven people died.
• 21:19
  Speaker 12: And then over the last two days it was the
• 21:22
  Speaker 12: that was the crown Jewel. They had I guess nine killed,
• 21:26
  Speaker 12: nine or ten killed and fifty hit with bullets. And
• 21:30
  Speaker 12: you have this governor get up, who's a terrible governor.
• 21:33
  Speaker 12: Probably he and Gavin Newscombe would be probably the two
• 21:38
  Speaker 12: worst and most naive.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: The naive either their naiva, they're.
• 21:42
  Speaker 12: Very untruthful and he'll say, we don't want any protection,
• 21:47
  Speaker 12: we don't need. So in the last three weeks he's
• 21:50
  Speaker 12: lost almost twenty people killed. There's no place there's no
• 21:54
  Speaker 12: place in the world, including you can go to Afghanistan,
• 21:58
  Speaker 12: you can go to places said you would think of,
• 22:01
  Speaker 12: they don't even come close to this. Chicago is a
• 22:04
  Speaker 12: hellhole right now. Baltimore is a hellhole right now.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: The President went on to say on social media, Chicago
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: will be safe again and soon I will solve the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: crime problem fast, just like I did in Washington, d C.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: In the over office, the President was also asked about Chicago.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: He said, we're going in when referring to a point
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: the National Guard, he did not give a specific timeline,
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: and what is the left doing well? The governor making
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: it very clear he thinks it's all politics saving lives
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and even try to turn it into a press conference
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: about the apprentice take a list in.
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: The governor in his own words, I.
• 22:45
  Speaker 13: Will not call the President asking him to send troops
• 22:48
  Speaker 13: to Chicago. I've made that clear already. I know this
• 22:53
  Speaker 13: has been an unsettling and difficult ten days for the
• 22:57
  Speaker 13: people of Chicago and Illine. I'm going to do my
• 23:02
  Speaker 13: best to share what we know as of today and
• 23:06
  Speaker 13: speak frankly to the people of Illinois. Rumors have been
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: swirling about what the White House has planned, and sifting
• 23:14
  Speaker 13: fact from fiction has been increasingly difficult because Donald Trump's
• 23:18
  Speaker 13: administration is not working in coordination with the City of Chicago,
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: Cook County, or the state of Illinois. I want to
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: take a moment at the top of my remarks to
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: note how truly extraordinary it is for the federal government
• 23:34
  Speaker 13: to refuse to coordinate with local law enforcement and government.
• 23:40
  Speaker 13: Our state police regularly works with the FBI, the ATF,
• 23:45
  Speaker 13: the DEEA to go after gangs and gun runners and
• 23:49
  Speaker 13: drug cartels. Under previous White House administrations, we regularly received
• 23:55
  Speaker 13: notice and worked together on crime fighting operations.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Here's what's interesting about what the governor just said. We
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: used to work together. So what is he saying now, Well,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: the governor says not only does he oppose Trump and
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: his plan to send in federal troops, but he actually
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: called it quote unconstitutional, illegal, and un American, warning a
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: potential legal action Johnson. By the way, the Mayor of
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Chicago sign an executive order affirming that Chicago police would
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: not cooperate with federal troops and likening any unauthorized deployment
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: as an invasion. He warned that such moves could inflame
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: tensions further. If you want to know what side they're on,
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: it's clearly not on the side of the people that
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: are dying in Chicago. Now, the scary part is the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: governor and the mayor standing side by side for the
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: press conference in Chicago.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: They weren't done there.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: They're actually angry at Donald Trump for trying to fight
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: crime and save lives. And here's what the governor said
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: about sen in the National Guard.
• 25:01
  Speaker 13: We have reason to believe that Stephen Miller chose the
• 25:04
  Speaker 13: month of September to come to Chicago because of celebrations
• 25:08
  Speaker 13: around Mexican Independence Day that happen here every year. It
• 25:13
  Speaker 13: breaks my heart to report that we have been told
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: Ice will try and disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades.
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: Let's be clear, the terror and cruelty is the point,
• 25:26
  Speaker 13: not the safety of anyone living here. Third, as lawful
• 25:32
  Speaker 13: citizens exercise their First Amendment rights, Trump and his team
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: will be looking for any excuse to put active duty
• 25:39
  Speaker 13: military on our streets, supposedly to protect Ice. We have
• 25:45
  Speaker 13: reason to believe that the Trump administration has already begun
• 25:48
  Speaker 13: staging the Texas National Guard for deployment in Illinois. I
• 25:54
  Speaker 13: want to be very clear on this point, and I
• 25:56
  Speaker 13: want to speak directly to the press right now. We
• 26:01
  Speaker 13: know before anything has happened here, that the Trump plan
• 26:05
  Speaker 13: is to use any excuse to deploy armed military personnel
• 26:09
  Speaker 13: to Chicago. If someone flings a sandwich at an ICE agent,
• 26:15
  Speaker 13: Trump will try and go on TV and declare an
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: emergency in Chicago. I'm imploring everyone, if and when that happens,
• 26:23
  Speaker 13: do not take the bait.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: It is amazing you have a governor of a state
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: saying that his citizens will be violent, and when they
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: are violent towards men and women in uniform, don't take
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: the bait. By the way, if you want to know
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: what the rest of the people in Chicago are saying,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: they don't feel safe. And now even MSNBC is being
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: forced to tell the truth about just how bad things
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: are after fifty eight shot eight killed in Chicago over
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: the weekend. On Morning Joe, this is what they said
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: to their liberal audience.
• 26:58
  Speaker 10: Sorry, it is you have leaders in Chicago that see
• 27:00
  Speaker 10: this as you say, We've been reading about this for
• 27:03
  Speaker 10: years now every weekend and maybe crime has gone down,
• 27:07
  Speaker 10: but you know, we had the mayor of Chicago on
• 27:08
  Speaker 10: last week saying, oh, we don't need any more police officers.
• 27:11
  Speaker 10: Police officers aren't the answer. No police officers. And you know,
• 27:14
  Speaker 10: I think you said no five times. You look what's
• 27:16
  Speaker 10: happening this weekend.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: He looks.
• 27:18
  Speaker 10: You know, I actually think that JB. Prinsker should do
• 27:22
  Speaker 10: something radical. I think you should pick up the phone,
• 27:26
  Speaker 10: call the president and say, you know, and I know
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: you don't have the constitutional authority to deploy the National
• 27:32
  Speaker 10: Guard here and the police. You can do that in DC,
• 27:35
  Speaker 10: you can't do that in Chicago. But let's partner up.
• 27:39
  Speaker 10: These are the most dangerous parts of my state. We
• 27:43
  Speaker 10: would love to figure out how to have a partnership
• 27:46
  Speaker 10: that's constitutional, that respects the sort of balance of federalism
• 27:52
  Speaker 10: between the federal government and the state government. And let's
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: work together.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: To save lives.
• 27:58
  Speaker 10: Because right now, just hey, hey, nothing to see here,
• 28:01
  Speaker 10: moving along, no problem here, Hey, Donald Trump, we don't
• 28:05
  Speaker 10: need you. And you know LA Mayor talking about we're
• 28:08
  Speaker 10: going to protect people's dignity in our city, will protect
• 28:11
  Speaker 10: their lives. That's protecting their dignity. You know, it would
• 28:15
  Speaker 10: be radical for us to figure out a way to
• 28:18
  Speaker 10: actually do what I've been saying from the very beginning
• 28:20
  Speaker 10: on Washington, and that is seeing politicians creating partnerships that
• 28:26
  Speaker 10: protect their people.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even MSNBC saying Jenny Prisker should do something radical,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: he should pick up the phone and call the president
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: because the nothing to see here move isn't working quote unquote.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: This is how you know this is working.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: And the President is clearly leading on the issue, and
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: the American people are behind him. They're responding to it.
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: They like living in a safer city like Washington, d C.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And now he's trying to bring it to Chicago and
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: other very dangerous cities around the country. So the question, now,
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: how is this to the Democrats? Who side are you on?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: Are you willing to be on the side of all
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: of the lawbreakers, the rapists, the murderers or drug dealers,
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: the child molesters, the illegal immigrants, or are you going
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: to be on the side of the American people. Yes,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: that may mean that you actually have to agree with
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump on an issue. Is it really worth the
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: lives of Americans just so you can oppose Donald Trump?
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: On something as simple as crime.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: That's the question the press should be asking, and it's
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the question that's already been answered by so many American voters.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Don't forget Share this podcast please with your family and
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: your friends wherever they are, and I will see you
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: back here tomorrow
