The Presidential Walk of Fame plus Secret Service Uncovers Massive Swatting Operation & Dems can't Let Go of the Rhetoric · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: I want to start by just having a moment where
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: we can all laugh. I feel like we need more
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: of that in politics right now. And this is a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: funny story unless you have no sense of humor or
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: you have Trump derangement syndrome. The White House has hung
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: portraits of US presidents along the West Wing colonnade. It's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: in the Rose Garden, now dubbed the Presidential Walk of Fame,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: but the image of former President Joe Biden isn't exactly
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Instead, it's represented by the auto pen. Special
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Assistant to the President Margot Martin shared a video on
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Wednesday of the newly installed Presidential Walk of Fame on
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the West Wing colonade, depicting the US Presidence in chronological order.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: But at the very end, in between Trump's official presidential
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: portraits from his current and his first term sits the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Biden picture, and that picture is actually a picture of
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the auto pen. The Left is losing their minds, even
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: though this clearly is to be funny and trolling the left,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: who again is losing their minds now. In July, Trump
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: contended that the autopen quote I think is maybe one
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of the biggest scandals that we've had in fifty to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: one hundred years, and zeroed in on Biden staffers on
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the other side of the Resolute desk. They're no good.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They're sick people. And I guarantee you he knew nothing
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: about what was being signed. I guarantee it. That's what
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump said at the time. In fact, here he
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: is in his own words.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: The autopen I think is maybe one of the biggest
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: scandals that we've had in fifty to one hundred years.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: This is a tremendous scandal. And I know the people
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: on the other side of the Oscia desk, that Resolute
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: desk unfortunately used it before me. But you know, we
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: have our choice of seven disks. You're all beautiful, but
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I chose the Resolute, and so did he, unfortunately. But
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: the people on the other side of the Resolute desk,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I know them, Lisa, the Hall Group, and then no good.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: There's sick people. And I guarantee he knew nothing about
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: what he was signing.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: I guarantee it, President Trump saying that. Then The New
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: York Times actually reported in July that mister Biden did
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: applied to large numbers of people. In fact, he and
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: aides also confirmed it now after extensive discussion of different
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: possible criteria they claimed was their alibi. Then Biden would
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: sign off on the standards that he wanted to be
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: used to determine which convicts would qualify for reduction in sentence.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And even after mister Biden made the decision, when former
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: aide said the Bureau of Prisons kept providing additional information
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: about specific inmates, resulting in small changes to the list.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Rather than ask mister Biden to keep signing revised versions,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: his staff weighted and then ran the final version, they
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: say through the auto pen, which they saw as a
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: routine procedure when you have a president and cognitive decline,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I guess that's what you do. But there's also just
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: another aspect of this. There is some humor here. This
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: is some trolling. It is actually funny. Democrats again, they're
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: losing their minds. I was on CNN Abby Phillips Show
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: last night, and here's what I had to say about it,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: that the panel just couldn't get their head around right.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: The People's House now has a trolling hall. The White
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: House revealed a new Presidential Walk of Fame with photos
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: of presidents in order, But if you look closely, there
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: is one particular president missing, or rather represented by something
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: other than his face. Instead of a photo of President Biden,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: there is a photo of an auto pen. Hilarious, I suppose.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know responding to this, by the way, well.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Very beneath the office, but I guess go ture Foss.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The auto pen signed more things under Joe Biden's last
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: year in office than Joe Biden signed. I mean, is
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it really trolling?
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: If it's true, doesn't Trump use the auto pens as well?
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I promise you when it comes to pardons in Clemency's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be his own signature, like he actually shows
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: up for work and didn't take naps for in the
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: middle of the day he had a four hour work
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: i't me just tell you his own team set.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I will only vote for the Democratic candidate in twenty
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: twenty eight that I believe Trump's presidential portraits and replaces
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: them with photos of him and Epstein. So many photos
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: of him and Epstein, more photos than me and my
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: own grandparents. I feel like I'm so imported.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: The autopen responding the outrage over the autopen I'm excited.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: I gotta say the Democrats can't handle a joke, but
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it's not surprising. And every once in a while Donald
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Trump does something like this and it makes me smile,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: and I hope it makes you smile as well. I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: want to talk to you about my friends at Kirk
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Elliott Precious Medals. Two days ago, I got my new
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: order of silver. Now I'm investing in silver right now
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: because the pricing on it is amazing and the upside well,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: it's real. I actually have a one hundred ounce silver bar.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It is actually really cool. It's really heavy because it's
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: one hundred ounces. But I also know that I bought
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: it at the right price and I wasn't paying massive
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: up charges on quote. Rare are special coins, and then
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: when you go to sell them, you take away all
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of your earning potential. Why do they do it this
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: way at Kurt Elliot Because they have transparent pricing up front.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: It's very simple. You pay eight percent when you buy,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and here's what matters to you the most, nothing when
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you sell. There are no hidden fees. Ever with Kurt
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Elliott Precious Metals. This is the reason why I recommend them.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: It's not just about investing, it's about making sure you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: get more for your money. And that is exactly why
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Kurt Elliott helps people all the time. Whether it's gold
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: or silver, you can hold it, be a good steward
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: of it, you can pass it on to future generations,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: and you can build wealth with it. It's real, bullyon,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: never gimmicks, just investment grade gold and silver, no overpriced coins,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: no flashy markups. And it's a company that I love
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: because they are a faith driven company. There's no pressure,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: just honest care. They treat every client like family, offering
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: honest answers up front to help you make wise informed decisions. Now.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: If you're seeking a partner when it comes to gold
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and silver with an eternity mindset, visit ke PM dot

  Speaker 1: com slash ben. That's k e PM dot com slash ben.

  Speaker 1: and for generations to come. KEPM dot com slash Ben,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: which brings me to Another important story that is also
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: coming to some sort of resolution. Secret Service is now
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: announcing that they have busted a massive network that has
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: been used in swatting attacks against Republicans. Now, if you
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: don't know what swatting is, I'll explain it this way.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: It's where you call in a fake crisis situation, a
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: fake hostage situation to the address of where a conservative lives,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: specifically an elected official or conservative commentator, to then put
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: their life at risk with a massive response, a swat
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: team is sent in. The Secret Service has now announced
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: they have uncovered this vast network of over one hundred
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: thousand SIM cards and three hundred servers as well in
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the New York area, believed to be used by foreign
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: nation state threat actors and criminals for swatting calls targeting
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: prominent conservatives, including Marjorly Taylor Green. The amount of hardware
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: sees in the bus could be used, they say, to
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: hamper sell service in New York City and the US
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Secret Service. Uncovering this massive network of more than one
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand SIM cards and three hundred servers was located
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: within a thirty five mile radius of New York City.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The operation believed to be run by foreign nation state
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: threat actors and criminals, was uncovered during an investigation to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: a surge of swatting calls targeting high ranking government officials,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: including members of Congress and members of the Trump administration.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Now targets of swatting calls reportedly included Representative Green Center,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Rick Scott, Nikki Hayley, and the Secret Services Advanced Threat Unit,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: in collaboration with various law enforcement agencies, trace those squatting
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: calls to several locations in the New York tri state area.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Upon further investigation, they found a sophisticated network of SIM
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: servers capable of generating enormous amounts of phone traffic while
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: rapidly switching out simcards to evade detection. I want you
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to take a listen to Matt McCool. He is a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Special Agent in charge of the Secret Services New York
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Field Office, and the network, as he described it, posed
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: an imminent threat to the agency's protective operations. They said
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the servers were strategically positioned around New York cellular network
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: infrastructure so that it could overwhelm the cell towers, disrupt
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: cell service, and put the entire city of New York
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: at risk take a listen in his announce conouncement today, my.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: Name is Matt McCool and I'm the Special Agent in
• 10:03
  Speaker 5: charge of the Secret Service New York Field Office. We
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: are making this announcement as a matter of public interest,
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: given timing, amount and concentration of material recovered during a
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: recent Secret Service protective intelligence investigation. Following multiple telecommunications related
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: imminent threats directed towards senior US government officials this spring,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: the U. S Secret Service began a protective intelligence investigation
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: to determine the extent and impact these threats could have
• 10:30
  Speaker 5: on protective operations. This was a difficult and complex effort
• 10:34
  Speaker 5: to identify the source of these fraudulent calls and the
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: impact on the Secret Service protective mission. During this period,
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: we leverage technical assistance and support of federal partners, including
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: Homeland Security investigations, the Department of Justice, and the Office
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: of the Director of National Intelligence. We also received phenomenal
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: support from our state and local law enforcement partners, to
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: include the NYPD. The investigation led us to the New
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: York tri state area, where investigators discovered tens of thousands
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: of colocated and network SAILAR devices capable of carrying out
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: nefarious telecommunications attacks. These devices allowed anonymous, encrypted communications between
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: potential threat actors and criminal enterprises, enabling criminal organizations to
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: operate undetected. This network had the potential to disable cell
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: phone towers and essentially shut down the cellular network in
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: New York City. These devices were concentrated within thirty five
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: miles of the global meeting of the United Nations General
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: Assembly now underway in New York City. Given the timing,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: location and proximity, and potential for significant disruptions to the
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: New York telecom system, we move quickly to disrupt this network.
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: To be clear, these recovered devices no longer pose a
• 11:49
  Speaker 5: threat to the New York tri state area. We will
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: continue working towards identifying those responsible in their intent, including
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: whether their plan was to disrupt the UN General Assembly
• 12:00
  Speaker 5: and communications of government and emergency personnel during the official
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: visit of world leaders in and around New York City.
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: Forensic examinations of the equivalent of one hundred thousand cell
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: phones worth of data is underway. Early analysis indicates cellular
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: communications between foreign actors and individuals that are known to
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: federal law enforcement. Given the sensitivity and complexity of this investigation,
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: we are not able to go into specifics at this time.
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: This is an open and active investigation and we have
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: no arrest to announce today. Rather, this announcement is designed
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: to safeguard critical infrastructure and responsibly provide the public what
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: we can at this time. The Secret Service will continue
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: to run down all leads until we fully understand the
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: intent of the operation and identify those responsible.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Truly incredible there from Matt McCool, the Special Agent in
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: charge of the Secret Service in New York's Field Office.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: The pictures that have been released of these rooms that
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: have been filled with these servers and these simcards and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: to overrun the cell tower was a level of sophistication
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: that is of professionals. This is not amateur And part
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: of the reason why I think they're making it so
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: clear how big of an issue this was and what
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: was happening. Democrats have not learned a damn thing about
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: their rhetoric since the assassination of Charlie Kirk. In fact,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: if you look at what they're saying, it's pretty clear
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: they're doubling down on their radical words and trying to
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: inspire others. Hillary Clinton now getting in on the action.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: She has sparked a social media firestorm for promoting a
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: book literally warning about fascists and sick people. Clinton is
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: ripping now authoritarians, referencing Donald Trump while promoting the new
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: book from Teachers' union chief Randy Wingarden. The former Secretary
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: of State and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is getting blasted
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: as she should on social media, posting a picture supporting
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the American Federation of Teachers president the chief's new book
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: that suggests her political opponents are in fact fascists. Congratulations,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton said to my friend on quote. Why fascists
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: fear teachers from banning books to controlling curriculum. Authoritarians go
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: after public education because it's a quarterstone of democracy. Those
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: are the exact words posted by Hillary Clinton on Wednesday,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: along with the picture of the American Federation of Teachers
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: chief holding the book Randy's new book is a critical
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: read for this moment. She also wrote clearly talking about it,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: knowing what had just happened to Charlie Kirk. Clinton was
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: criticized instantly by many conservatives online for the posts, which
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: they argued continued the smear campaign against political opponents that
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: many they've contributed to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Why
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: because these are the words that are used by the assassin.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: It's been one week since Charlie Kirk was murdered by
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a lunatic who wrote about fascists on the shell casings.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Is what one Republican said online. Now Randy has a
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: new book arguing everyone who disagrees with her views on
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: public education, which have destroyed public education in America, is
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: a fascist American culture project. Senior fellow writing this on X,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton and Randy Winingarden are going full speed ahead
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: with this disgusting rhetoric right after Charlie Kirk's assassination. Sick people.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk was murdered exactly one week ago. Another conservative online,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine, Jack Posovic, said, And here's Hillary
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Clinton today. They wrote an entire book on a word
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: they don't even un understand. Is what another member of
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: the Huntington Beach City Council said on X the Room.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: That's why y'all should read. Is what the Washington Free
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Beacon investigative reporter Chick Ross also said. Yet Hillary Clinton
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: knew what she was doing, She knew that this moment
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: was a moment she could bring people together, and instead
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: she wanted to make sure she incited more violence, using
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the words to undermine any conservative out there and to
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: justify another assassination. Democrats Hillary Clinton and Randy Weingartner are
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: still suggesting Republicans are fascists, an account belonging to the
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Republican National Committee put out so eloquently on x They
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: really can't help themselves, can they now. Fox News reached
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: out to Clinton's office for comment on her post, which
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: has now racked up more than two million views. Guess
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: what they didn't have time to get back for comment.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Have they read the book? Is what Winegarden said in
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: a statement to Fox News Digital. If they did, they
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: discover it's a love letter to teachers. Winegarden's book, which
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: hits bookshelves this week, elaborates on reviews on battling what
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: she says is fascist ideology and how it works to
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: undermine democracy, opportunity, and public education as we know it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: By the way, we know that public education has been
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: a total disaster. And if you're a parent that shows
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: up your school board meetings, the last administration of the
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: FBI classified you as a domestic terrorist. Now, what is
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in the book, Well, here's more of it. Attacks on
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: schools and teachers have long been a hallmark of fascist regimes,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: clearly referencing Donald Trump throughout history. As many dictators rose
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to power, they began banning books and controlling curriculum. The
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: book's preview reads, Fascists fear teachers because teachers foster and
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: education and educated an empowered population that can see past
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the propaganda and the scare tactics. Fascists for your teachers
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: because they teach young people how to think for themselves. Now,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: let's be clear. The Democratic Party has taken over the
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: education system. It's where they've indoctrinated children to be ashamed
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: of America, not be proud of it. It's where they've
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: indoctrinated children to hate this country. It's where they've indoctrinated
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: children to believe that anyone that disagrees with them is
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: somehow instantly a fascist or a Nazi or Adolf Hitler,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and they should be taken out. We also know the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: youngest generation, forty two percent of them say in new
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: polling that it is appropriate to use violence to go
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: after people you disagree with, as long as you justify
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: as saying you're trying to stop evil. This is the
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party. And if you think for a moment they're
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: going to stop actually doing these types of things and
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: learn from the assassination of Charlie Kirk, you're wrong. They
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: look at this as a success and they're still using
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: the same words that were used by the assassin to
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: justify the killing of one of our own. There is
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: some new news that you need to know about, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: that is that, Yeah, ABC, they still suck.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: They said they were going to get rid of Jimmy
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Kimmel in definitely, and definitely apparently in the woquibber world
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: of LA means six days, because Jimmy Kimmel Tuesday Night
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: will come back to the airwaves. Now, this grand return
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is not as grand as they were hoping. In fact,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: the TV comeback is actually collapsing, as Sinclair Broadcasting Group
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: says it won't air the show on its ABC stations.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: That is significant. There are thirty three Sinclair Broadcasting ABC
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: affiliate stations, and even after Disney struck a deal for
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: him to return from his short lived six day vacation,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: it is now official they are saying no. Now, let
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: me also tell you what ABC News announced about Jimmy Kimmel,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and you can obviously see that they've got his back
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: and they're not going to cancel him for his horrific
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: words toward Charlie Kirk celebrating the assassination quote last Wednesday.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: We made the decision to spend production of the show
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: to avoid further inflaming a tent situation at an emotional
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: moment for our country, is what Disney said in his statement.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: It is a decision we made because we felt some
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of the comments were ill timed and thus insensitive. So,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: in other words, they're backing up the line that he did,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: which was to claim that the assassin was a maga conservative.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: They went on to say this at ABC Scumbag News.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: We have spent the last days having thoughtful conversations with Jimmy,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: and after those conversations, we reach decision to return the
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: show on Tuesday. Sinclair, however, had different plans, saying it
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: will refrain from airing the show as the companies continue
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: to evaluate the situation, saying this beginning Tuesday night, Sinclair
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: will be preempting Jimmy Kimme Alive across our ABC affiliate
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: stations and replacing it with news programming. A rep for
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Sinclair said discussions with ABC are ongoing as we evaluate
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the show's potential return. Next Start, also, a major company
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: that has ABC affiliates. As of the time I'm recording this,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: has not issued a statement as of this moment that
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: obviously we expect to change whether they decide to keep
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: him off the error go back with him on Tuesday night.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: What we do know is this ABC News is not
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: sorry for what he said. They're not even condemning it.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: They're just saying it was ill timed. Yes, ill timed
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: is how they're looking at Jimmy Kimmel claiming that the
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: assassin was a conservative, a Trump supporter, a MAGA person,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: knowing that was a lie when he told the audience
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: three two one when he said it to the audience.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: And the other takeaway from this is if you think
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: the liberal media has learned anything from the assassination of
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk, you are wrong. It is very clear now
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: that the media has learned nothing, and they are going
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to go back as quickly as they can to their
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: hatred of conservatives, the bashing of conservatives, the undermining of conservatives.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: They're going to go back to saying that we're like Hitler,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: or we're Nazis, or that we are some sort of
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: anarchists or tyrants or dictators, all of the things they've
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: been calling many of us in the conservative movement. So, yes,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: the honeymoon is over. And how long does it take
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: for liberals to get over an assassin. Well, they just
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: have to fake it, apparently for six days. Because what
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Disney said is there is no decency towards Trump or
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: anyone around him. There is no decency for people like
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk. This isn't Disney caving. I want to be
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: clear about that. Jimmy Kimmel, they wanted back on the air,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: and they only kept him off for six days, fewer
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: days than he gets I'm sure in vacation a year.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: So what is Disney saying to you, Well, we don't
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: care about your family values, which brings me back to
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: the problem with Disney. Disney is a company that I've
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: been saying for a while will not receive my money.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: If you saw how radical they were in the undercovered
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Disney tapes and how they had changed their parks and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: advocated for transgender and all sorts of radical ideology, you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: that if you're giving your kids things that have Disney
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: on them, you are supporting this. Yes, Disney owns Jimmy
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Kimmel and they have chosen to put him back on
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: the air because they really don't care who's next. Don't
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: forget share this podcast please with your family and your
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: friends wherever they are, and I will see you back
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: here tomorrow
