Speaker 1 (00:03):
Warning. E'repe about to enter the arena and join the
Battle to Save America with your host Sean Parnell. Good evening, America,
Welcome to battle Ground Live. This is the show where
we kick ass, and we take names, and we lock
(00:23):
horns with the radical left. We never quit, we never
surrendered from sena Shining Sea and everybody in between. Welcome
Patriots on this glorious Tuesday, and a glorious Tuesday it is,
you know, folks, I love being a dad, I really do.
(00:45):
I mean, there are some frustrating moments, I mean, but
by and large, being being a father's one of the
greatest things in the world. I absolutely love it, even
the frustrating moments, especially when you look back at them
and retros and you know, there's no field manual for children.
(01:07):
There's no shortage of people out there who would give
you suggestions about how you should raise your kids. But
we've got five here at Fort Parnell. Commander Melanie and
I have an amazing, blended family. It's a little bit
of a challenge sometimes, but most of the time it's
just so cool, and each kid is just so unbelievably
(01:31):
different that it's just funny and so this time of
day is always a little bit not a little bit
challenging here in Fort Parnell, but a lot challenging in
Fort Parnell, mostly for Commander Melanie, because I'm down here
doing this live show and she is coordinating. And this is,
(01:54):
by the way, no small task. She is coordinating the
pickup of all of our children from school. Our oldest drives,
so sometimes she will drive, she'll drive home from school,
she'll pick up her smock for work, and she will
drive right to work at the grocery store. And then
(02:18):
you know, the rest of the time, Commander Melanie's running
out and picking up kids for school, and she's doing
it right now. And then you know when kids have
extra curriculars, Emma, right now, my fourteen year old daughter,
she plays basketball. My other fourteen year old daughter starts
volleyball on Saturday. She's got like these lead up to
these volleyball tryouts and they start at seven o'clock in
(02:38):
the morning on a Saturday, and she's tail, I can't
believe I have to wake up at seven in the morning,
five point thirty in the morning just to get ready
for volleyball practice on Saturday. And so it's a lot
of work, coordinating driving here and there with kids. Kudos
to my amazing wife for making that happen, because it
is not easy. But right before the show, I walked
upstairs and refilled my drink. And you know, for those
(03:01):
of you all who've been watching the show, you know
I got my trusty camouflage drink in this YETI and yes,
I know how many of you think about YETI, I
get it. But this I've got this cup a long
time ago. It's multi caam. You can see it's all
worn and tattered, but it's it's like the only cup
that I use. And they don't make this multi cam
(03:23):
pattern anymore. And YETI so I'm just very loyal to
this cup. I use it all the time. So I
run it upstairs to fill this cup up. My son,
my youngest son, is just getting home from school. He
gets home from school absurdly late, spends a long time
on the bus, far too long in my opinion, But
he comes upstairs and he goes, oh hey, Dad, He goes,
(03:44):
did you get your hair cut today? This is funny
having that question. First of all, he was the first
one in a very busy house that who noticed. But
this is just quintessential Evan. And if you knew Evan,
you'd know what I mean. This kid, he just notices everything,
He listens to everything. He coordinates his outfits perfectly. He is.
(04:10):
He loves shoes, specifically Jordan's. I guess all kids like
these these Jordan's shoes now just kind of like when
I was a kid. But he wants his bedroom to
look nice. He wants his bedroom to look clean. He
wants his desk to look nice. He wants his desk
to look clean. There's a little, you know, little left
to be desired with the laundry part of it, but
I know Commander Melanie is working on that with him.
(04:34):
And then as he said, oh, you got a nice haircut,
then he fills this bowl full of goldfish, about a
big bowl full of goldfish about this high, and I'm like,
holy smokes, dude, that's a big bowl of golf goldfish.
And he's like nah and just walks away. This morning,
on my way to school, I was talking to my
daughter Emma, who's basketball right now, about this project that
(04:56):
she did for school and it was for social studies
and she really likes her so social studies teacher and
said that the teacher said to her, Look, if you're
going to be a politician, And by the way, most
people in this area know who I am. They know
the last name, they know that, they know that I'm
a fire and brimstone conservative. That's just that's just my reputation.
(05:18):
If you don't, if you know the kinds of campaigns
that I ran. But this teacher said to Emma, you know,
I know both sides of these issues. You know, liberal
conservative arguments on both sides. And I bet you U
students couldn't even tell which side that I'm on, even
though Emma's like that, I think I know what side
this guy's on. But she did this project where she
(05:41):
talked talked about the executive branch and the legislative branch
and the judicial branch, and a debate that they got
in at school about the Second Amendments. And you know,
started talking to my daughter, and of course my young son, Evan,
who notices everything, is sitting in the back seat and
we're driving to school and talking about the Second Amendment
and talking about the founder's vision for this country. And
(06:03):
she said in the debate in school that there was
a brief conversation about the left wanting to take away
people's guns. And that is accurate because the Left has
been wanting to take away our Second Amendment rights as
Americans for quite some time now. And I said, you know,
the Founders, I said, I love this stuff. The social
studies class that you're in, learning about our government, learning
(06:24):
about our founders, learning about our history, the Constitution, the Amendments,
the Bill of Rights, everything. This is like one of
the most important classes that you will ever have. And
I mean that when I say it. Yes, math is
important and all that stuff too, But people don't know
the history of our country anymore. They don't understand our
(06:47):
founder's vision. They don't understand the Bill of Rights. They
don't understand the philosophical underpinnings of the Constitution and why
it is the greatest document in the history of the world.
And I told my daughter on the way to school,
the Founders escaped them trying to explain this to a
fourteen year old, But you know, all of my fourteen
(07:08):
both my fourteen year olds are ridiculously smart, so they
get it. So the Founders escaped an oppressive country and
came here and wrote a constitution that empowered the people
over government. A document that restrained government's authority, power and
reach over the citizens. And they started that task by
(07:33):
crafting the Bill of Rights. And every citizen in America life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness and the rights given to
us bestowed upon us in those Bill of Rights. Our
rights with a capital are our rights in the truest sense,
(07:54):
and that they were bestowed upon us by our creator.
This is what our founder said. Other words, they are
given to us by God and not government. And all
the while she's just listening to me. I said, so,
there are two parts to this Second Amendment debate. And
it's awesome because my daughter Emma is super into politics.
(08:15):
She just is, and she's a conservative and I love it.
But I said, they're two parts to the Second Amendment debate.
One of the left will say, oh, these are assault weapons.
They're dangerous military style rifles on the streets. We can't
have that in America, just do too much damage. Well, actually,
the Founders wrote the Second Amendment to protect liberty from tyranny,
(08:38):
to give the citizens a way to fight back against
a government that reached just too far. You know, many
in the media, certainly the left, has tried to redefine
what our history, redesigned, what our history really was. Make
people think that what I just said is extreme, it's not.
(09:00):
That's the core reason of why this Second Amendment was
written to fight back against the government should they step
out of line. Yes, that's a fact. People might not
like that. I know many of the people and the
battle crew. And by the way, Dan Nunn and the Nunchucks,
I see you. You rated the stream. Welcome. If you're
not following Dan Nunn and the nun Report, go follow
subscribe right now. Is a great patriot with a great show.
(09:23):
But the left has been trying to redefine our history
for some time now. We're not buying it. But the
two parts to this debate are there's no such thing
in as an assault rifle. Assault is a distinctly human characteristic.
The left just conjured up that word out of whole cloth.
But beyond that, yes, our founders did intend us to
(09:49):
own ar style rifles to prevent the government from having
a monopoly of force over the people. Also to protect yourself,
to protect your family, to provide for your family. With hunting,
I mean, the left makes it seem oh hunting, that's
all the less second Amendment's about hunting, it's about protecting yourself,
protecting your family, it's about providing for your family. But
mostly it's about protecting liberty from tyranny. I said. The
(10:11):
second part of this argument, and the one that I
find is most compelling, is that the Left or any
government official, they don't have the authority. I reject their
authority and their desire to take my guns in the
first place, because if our rights are given to us
(10:35):
by our creator and bestowed upon us by God, not government,
then those rights can never be taken away by a
government official, and therefore Left has no authority, and I
reject it, and that's what the founders intended. But I'm
telling you, I go into this day loving being a father.
(10:57):
I always love being a husband to Commander Alane. She
challenges me in great ways every day to be a
better person. But being a father, it is just so
cool because you get to have these conversations with your
kids in the hope that they grow up to be
to fight for this country. That's what it's all about, right,
(11:17):
That's why I'm doing this show, or how about you know,
that's why people volunteer to serve this country. That's why
people risk their life for this country. That's why people
would be willing to die for this country if need be,
because what we have here is special. And if our
kids don't take up that mantle, and if our kids
(11:37):
don't truly understand all the amazing things that we have
here in this country, and by god, if they're not
willing to step up and fight for it when it's
their time, then what is the point of all of this?
And so, all right, enough that we've heard beyond my
(12:01):
soapbox now talk about this stuff. But this is the
kind of stuff that's on my mind. You know, I
think four years, Okay, Trump's an office for four years,
and I'm not tired of winning. And it seems to
be Trump is posting w's every single day since he's
been back in the White House. But four years goes
by in the blink of an eye. And what then,
and what happens when I'm too old to fight? What
(12:21):
happens when I'm not here? One of my kids gonna
take up the fight? I mean, that's our legacy, right
is what do we leave on this planet after we're gone?
Will people pick up where we left off? I hope so.
But Anyways, Okay, let's shift to some of the headlines.
We got so much to talk about today. Smash that
(12:44):
like button, that little gray thumb beneath the video. When
you smash it, it turns green and it helps us
make the leaderboard we did last night. Thank you to
the battle crew. Okay, let me follow up on a
story that we covered last night. So on Friday, we
talked a lot, a lot about the hag Seth vote.
We talked about Murkowski Collins and the McConnell thing was
(13:07):
a bit of a surprise, but he was on the
fence too. The vote had not happened by the time
we did the show. It happened later that night on
Friday Now on that show, and I had raised this
question multiple times throughout the week when this fake allegation
rolled out, this eleventh hour allegation to Derael Pete's nomination
(13:29):
rolled out from Pete's brother's ex wife. I don't know
why people would think that that's compelling or anything but
politically motivated. I don't know, but the media and the
left in this country all they have our hoaxes in life,
so it doesn't surprise me that they would have tried
it but all the while, she released a statement when
(13:51):
she leveled these accusations and came forward, and she said,
I have been assured that me coming forward will convince
other republic plins not to vote for Pete heg Seth.
So she makes her motivation very clear. And this is
a very sinister move by the people behind the curtain.
(14:11):
And I can't even say the left, and I'll tell
you why here in a second. It's a sinister move.
And I want to take you all the way back
to something that I said about Lindsey Graham and Jony
Earnst when they were on the fence about hag Seth.
They would go on the news and they'd say, I'm
not these anonymous allegations. They're anonymous. I'm not putting any
(14:34):
stock in them. Now willing to come forward. Well, that
makes things a little bit different to me when I
hear that. That's a senator trying to have it both ways,
trying to say, yeah, I reject anonymous allegations. No, I'm
not going to let these anonymous allegations sway my vote,
because damn it, I'm a conservative and proud. But if
(14:56):
there's somebody out there that wants to come forward, doesn't
matter how ludicrous her diculous they are. You want to
come forward, put a face to the accusations. Well we
might have something different then that. To me, that's what
they were doing. And so it came out yesterday night
that you know. Okay, So last week I said, well,
(15:16):
who's shorter? Who assured this woman that by making this
false allegation against Pete would sway Republicans? Rich thought it
was was Lisa Murkowski. Remember that I'm coming over here
to the live chat battle care you remember Rich Barris
and I and some of my monologues about this. Who
this who assured her that this that her false accusation
(15:38):
would sway votes? Let me know in the live chat
if you remember this conversation. But come to find out
late last night that the accuser was Tom Tillis, Senator
from North Carolina, Republican Senator from North Carolina. Now, after
(15:59):
the sho show, there was stories that had been leaking
and in quick succession about Tillis wavering, and then Pete
put out on Twitter an answer to probably ten or
so questions that Senator Tillis had for him about this
new round of allegations. But it was Tom Tillis. Senator
(16:22):
Tillis from North Carolina, a Republican that assured her that
her coming forward would sway other Republicans to vote no.
And this is why people say, if you want a
friend in politics, get a dog. I don't see the
(16:42):
Democrats doing stuff like this. And when asked about it,
I mean, you can go read what Senator Tillis said.
He said, I'll paraphrase, and I'm not attacking Senator Tillis here,
but what he said was, yeah, I said this might
sway people. I investigated, I did my due, Dilli investigated
these new round of allegations, and I voted for Pete.
(17:03):
So okay, I will grant you that. I will grant
you that. But if Republicans are really going to win
in the way that we need them to over these
next four years, we really need them to stop this
back room bullshit. And that's exactly what it is. It's
(17:25):
back room bullshit that flies in the face of the
mandate that President Trump received when he won just a
couple of months ago. That's the reason why this stuff
happens behind closed doors. These Republican senators don't want to
be held accountable by the voters. Did you see the
(17:46):
news that came out today. I mean, Charlie Kirk posted
something about it. He said, I'm told that the vote
for Tulsea Gabbard might be done privately in a skiff,
with the vote tallies kept secret from the American people.
Harley Kirk says, this is outrageous and wrong. The American
people deserve to know how their senators vote on Trump's nominees.
(18:06):
This is another form of what This is just another
form of what Tom Tillis did by assuring someone behind
the scenes that you know, doing something in a certain
way would persuade Republican senators to vote in a way
that was preferable to Democrats. But here again, these Republicans
want cover political cover for potentially voting against Taulcy Gabbert.
(18:32):
And look, you're gonna afford to lose three. You can
afford to lose three and Taulcy Gabbard and RFK. I'm
just gonna tell you, folks, these are tougher. It's tougher
for me to see how this is gonna work than
it was for Pete. Because Pete is a lockstock and
(18:52):
barrel conservative. The calculus is, well, he might lose a
couple of squishes, but by and large Republicans are going
to back him and buying large Democrats will not. But
with TAULSI and RFK, I believe they're gonna get some
Democrat support. I also believe that there are going to
be more than three Republicans who vote against them because
(19:15):
they're Democrats, and in the case of Taulci Gabbard, people
like you know, neo cons and neo conservatives who are
who are old guard Republicans and interventionalists basically American foreign
policy during the twenty years of the war in Iraq
and Afghanistan. A lot of those senators, and by the way,
most of the Republicans in the Senate are old guard Republicans.
(19:40):
I don't know. I just don't have a warm and
fuzzy about how those senators are gonna vote. And what
it's gonna come down to with TAUSI is the support
that she receives in the Democrat side of the aisle
going to exceed the support that she loses on the
Republican side. I think the same is true with RFK.
(20:04):
It's gonna be tough. But one thing that I do
know is that Americans deserve to know how their senators
are voting on Trump's cabinet confirmations. So we'll see. We'll
keep our ear to the ground on that Capitol Hill.
Police caught an assassin at the Capitol today with Molotov cocktails.
(20:25):
Apparently this guy was targeting Scott Bessant. I think, who
is the newly confirmed Treasury Secretary, and Pete Hegseth, who is,
of course Secretary Hegseeth now the Secretary of Defense. And
it got me thinking about assassination attempts. And I know
I'm already twenty minutes into the show. It's like, I
(20:48):
gotta just freewheeling here. I'm sorry if I'm off on
a tangent, but I promised that I would not stop
talking about July thirteenth, and you know that faithful day
in American history where somebody tried to kill President Trump.
(21:08):
I was there right in the path of the bullets,
Corey comparator, sitting right behind in the bleachers, behind Commander Melanie,
and I my wife was almost killed. I mean, she
was right in the path of the bullets, could have
easily been killed. And I am righteously pissed off about
the fact that we still have absolutely positively no idea
(21:35):
what happened. None, and in fact, within forty eight hours
after the assassination attempt, there was a total media blackout
on it. We still know nothing about Matthew Crooks. We
still know nothing about his house that was searched. We
still know nothing about why his house was sterile. We
(21:57):
still know nothing about why this twenty something kid had
absolutely zero social media presence whatsoever. We still know nothing
about who this kid was contacting before, or why he
had five different cell phones, or who he was texting
or calling moments before the shots rang out. We know
(22:18):
nothing about this, and I I'm just outraged by this.
I'm outraged by this, and really, to me, this is
an indictment of the fake news media, the fake narrative,
not truth driven, fake news media that for so long
(22:41):
has had so much power. But I got listen, folks,
they're on the outs. They are losing power every single day,
and they don't like it, and I am here for it.
Jim Acosta one of the worst offenders in fake news history.
Rude Bloviator, you know, former White House correspondent for CNN,
(23:03):
turned host on CNN Dismal Dismal Ratings CNN apparently tried
to move him to the midnight slot. Jim Acosta instead
of that, quit But listen to what Trump says. So Trump,
upon hearing all of this, and this is why I
titled the episode the way that I did. Upon hearing
all this, Trump says, Wow, really good news. Jim Acosta,
(23:26):
one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history,
a mazor sleeves bag has been regulated by CNN Fake
News to the midnight hour death Valley because of extraordinarily
bad ratings and no talent in parentheses and no talent.
Word is that he wants to quit, and that would
(23:46):
be even better. Jim is a major loser who will
fail no matter where he ends up. Good luck, Jim.
A couple a couple hours after this, Jim Acosta says, this.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.
I've always believed it's the job of the press to
hold power to account. I've always tried to do that
here at CNN, and I plan on going doing all
of that in the future. One final message, don't give
into the lies, don't give into the fear. Hold on
to the truth and to hope even if you have
(24:24):
to get out your phone record that message. I will
not give into the lies. I will not give into
the fear. Post it on your social media so people
can hear from you too. I'll have more to say
about my plans in the coming days, but until then,
I want to thank all of you for tuning in.
Has been an honor to me.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, okay, okay. These people have done extraordinary damage to
our country. Extra I mean incalculable damage to our country.
I'm want to pivot to J six and then I
want to go into Trump's very first press conference in
Caroline Levitt, in my opinion, did it a job. But
at some point in the show, I gotta I gotta
(25:05):
talk about people who help us pay the bills. Okay,
yesterday on the show, we talked about Trump. Oh, by
the way, SMA smash that like button, that little great
thumb beneath the video turn it green smashed that smash
that rumble button. So talked about yesterday Trump forming a
commission to investigate the investigators, the prosecutors who went after
(25:27):
Jay six families. They did horrible things to Ja six families.
They trumped up this novel legal theory about fifteen twelve
see Obstruction of an official proceeding. You remember we talked
about all this stuff on the show while it was happening. Well,
these j six prosecutors who were fired under Donald Trump
(25:49):
for basically Trump put out a memo on this, or
the Trump administration, not Trump himself put out a memo
on this saying like basically paraphrasing, you can go look
up the memo yourself, but the just is you can't
be trusted to carry out the president's agendas. So guess
what you'll fill you. So it's the president's prerogative right
(26:10):
as the head of the executive branch. The DOJ is
part of the executive branch. President can fire whoever the
hell he wants. Bill Clinton did it, Barack Obama did it.
The moment that they came into the White House, they
cleaned house. And I am proud to report that Trump
is doing the same thing. So what are these impartial jurists, doctors,
(26:31):
these DOJ attorneys do. Well, they promptly run to MSNBC,
a hyperpartisan network, to bitch, moaning, complain like any fair
lawyer would do.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Let me ask you, we're all trying to make sense
of what this announcement of this new review is going
to be and what it's about. You were part of
the team that tirelessly prosecuted these insurrectionists. Are you worried
about being targeted for your work on prosecuting those cases?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Jen, No, maybe I should be, But I know the
work that the team did. I know how admirable and
meticulous and thorough the team was. I know that we
carried out our obligations and our duties to adhere to
the rule of law. And so while I think that
this mission, this sort of wild goose chase, is one
(27:24):
intended to suggest there was something nefarious, I would point
out that the charging decisions using this obstruction Statute fifteen
twelve c. Two was not only supported by grand juries
juries defendants who pled guilty. Courts over twenty courts in
the District of Columbia upheld this charging decision. The District
(27:47):
of Columbia Circuit Court upheld it. And it was only
the Supreme Court of the United States that finally narrowed
the application of this statute. And I would just note
that they said nothing about the impropriety of using this
statute to charge defendants. And so while the new US
attorney is seemingly going on a wild goose chase to
(28:09):
suggest that the prosecutors did something wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Here.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
We know we didn't and we know that we did
our job.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
But you guys are all going to be asked for
files and documents and emails, and you just have to
figure out how to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Like I said, it seems like somewhat of a wild
goose chase. There are I'm sure tens of thousands of
files and documents and emails. A different news station reported
that the preliminary report was due on Friday, and so
I look forward to hearing about that. But I just
can't imagine any meaningful work could actually be done given
(28:45):
the scope of this investigation.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Let me ask you about this guy and Martin, I
just talked about him in the introduction here. Who is
now the acting US attorney in Washington.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
D C.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
It seems to me a little bit like it's the
arsonist in charge of the fire department. There may be
better analogies, but you spend so much time working on
these cases, how do you see this?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I think it's from a person who worked so hard
and so long in the office. I think it's insulting
to have a new person come in and not only
undermine all the work that we've done, but speak out
directly against it, and again suggests that the prosecutors that
he's now responsible for governing, I suppose acted nefariously or
(29:31):
outside of their duties. I think it's harmful to the
institution of the department, and it's unfounded.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
So I know that was a little bit longer than
the kind of clips that I usually show on this
on the podcast. But this section has this video, and
then I'm gonna show another one of a January sixth
father whose son has just been basically tortured in prison.
But this DOJ, this impartial d J lawyer who ran
(30:00):
to MSNBC to bitch and moan and complain that now
the hunters were now becoming the hunted. Essentially, I mean,
they're gonna have to defend these outrageous actions that they've
perpetrated on American people, and I believe that they should.
There has to be some level of accountability for lawfare
(30:21):
like this and the lives that they have destroyed. And
know that's not an understatement. I'm gonna tell you why.
I We give you just one example here, in a
second one of many. But she says, oh, all the
DC courts, all the grand juries in DC, they thought
fifteen twelve C two was completely fine. And this is
why I have no problems with the blanket pardons in
(30:44):
these j six cases, because the Washington d C. Court
system is a joke. It is a corrupt mess. Ninety
five plus percent of the jury pool there are hardcore
activist Democrats. These are not blue dog Democrats in western
(31:05):
Pennsylvania who are pro life and pro gun and love America. No,
these are hardcore activist Democrats. Ninety five plus percent of
the people. So this is not a fair jury pool.
This is not a jury of your peers. These judges,
even the ones that were appointed by Ronald Reagan, they
are so they are essentially a praetorian guard for the establishment,
(31:30):
for the deep state, for the Washington bureaucracy. They are
so woefully out of touch with the American people. And
these Democrats on the bench are just partisan actors. That's it,
plain and simple. I've said it before, it I'll say
it again. I'm not a lawyer. I don't claim to
be a lawyer, but I don't have to be a
legal scholar to tell you how liberal Supreme Court justices
(31:51):
will come down on a very very important progressive issue.
They will always doesn't mastitution says, doesn't matter about laws,
doesn't matter about norms or anything like that. They will
come down on the side of the progressive cause one
hundred percent of the time because that is what they do.
It's what they do. These people should be held accountable
(32:14):
for the hell that they've put Americans through. Listen to
this January sixth father talk about the treatment of his
son and the Washington d C supposedly fair Washington d
C system.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
I just have lost everything. Their husbands, the fathers, the breadwinners,
have been taken from them and put in prison unlawfully
for many years for the simplest of infractions.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
You said, this wasn't the first prison that your son
was at. Can you talk to us about what they
charged him with and why he was at another prison
before coming here.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Sure, what they do is it's called diesel therapy, So
you can't settle. So what they'll do is they'll When
they first picked my son up on January sixteenth, twenty
twenty one, they scooped him up and then they started
taking them from prison to prison, spent two hundred two
days down in the bowels of the DC prison. Is
the conditions they are so egregious. He was actually sifting
(33:07):
water through a sock because if there's so much rust
in the bottom of that prison that you can't drink
the water, and so, and they would lay them on
it's caught the lights. This is like Vietnam where they
had lights on all the time. You had two blankets,
they call them suicide blankets and uh, and you just
laid them on a on a on a basically a
block and not even you didn't even have a mattress.
So and then what they do as soon as you
(33:29):
start to get communications with your attorneys and your family,
they scoop you up and they take you to another prison.
And then so you'll be there for two weeks. You're
usually a week to two weeks you're in solitary where
they're transiting you into the new prison. And then you're
there for oh god, maybe three to five months they
ship you out again. And there was there was a
(33:49):
time there on two Christmas ago, we didn't know where
he was for like I want to say, almost three weeks.
How is that possible? How come you can't, you know,
call his family. Nobody knows where he's at. When you
can't talk to your attorneys, you can't hardly even talk
to your family, and you can't possibly, you know, make
a defense. And then when you do get your attorneys,
you talk to your attorneys, and then they scoop you
(34:09):
up in a movie to the prison. All your notes
and stuff they take so they know exactly what your
defense is. It's like playing cards with your opponent looking
over your back, you're looking at your hand. It's impossible
to win. What has happened to under the Biden regime
was so egregious, so anti American, listened to institutional they
walked all over our Bill of rights. Thank god President
Trump came in here because not just for our patriots
(34:31):
but and our families, but for all of America. Because
if they didn't like you, they would do anything to
shut you up. They tried to shut down my businesses.
They had the local, the state agencies come after my companies.
I got a bunch of companies, our restaurants, and so
they'll stop at nothing to shut you down. And I've
lived through it, and so here we are today.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
You're standing out here President Trump signed the part in
over twenty four hours ago or coming up on twenty
four hours ago. Your son is still not out. What
reasons have they given you for that? What do you
think is actually going on?
Speaker 6 (35:01):
What this is is nothing more than this, this nasty
Hotton mayor of this city that controls these facilities. They're
not federal facilities. They're they're city run facilities. So what
she's doing, because she's all bent out of shape cause
her out, she is making doing everything she possibly can
to hold up the process and also harm And my
(35:24):
son was assaulted by a lieutenant and file other guards
last night. He was sue his assaulted punched. He was
sitting in the middle of the quad waiting to go
to get processed and go out, and in they handcuffed
and they wrenched his wrists, but behind him I punched him.
From what I understand, they threw him physically into his
into his cell and that's where he was for the
rest of the night. And this is this is a
(35:45):
this is a young man who has been pardoned like
everybody else, and so this is how they're treating them.
So we're gonna we're we already have a fault lawsuit file.
But this just adds to that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
So this is so evil and so terrible. I mean,
just try to put yourself in that man's shoes about
watching your son, your family member, you know, your blood,
(36:16):
being politically persecuted and thrown in a prison for what
were essentially at best misdemeanor charges. Imagine the pain and
the heartache and the hell that that man must have felt,
along with his son and his entire family for the
(36:37):
last four years of the evil, evil Biden administration and
attorneys like that January sixth attorney, Yeah, we didn't do
anything wrong. DC Court said, we were fine. The only
time we were stopped is when we went to the
Supreme Court. Yet that is scary that you weren't stopped earlier,
because this type of shit should not happen in America.
(37:00):
And so you go from that to Trump's Caroline Levitt's
very first press briefing today, and by the way, she
did an awesome job. I mean that press room was packed.
But the media is doing some insanely sinister things right
now that are just in their infancy, and I want
(37:21):
to give you a heads up about them. But you'd
think if the media were honest they'd be screaming about
the treatment of these j six political prisoners. In a
just world and adjust country, that is all our media
would talk about until these people were set free. But
(37:42):
instead many members of the media are taking up valuable
time at White House press briefings. And this is one
of the things I want to talk to you. Talk
to you about this narrative about the illegal invasion of
our country, southern border type stuff, this idea that they're
(38:05):
trying to DIFFERENTI you, I thought you said it was
just gonna be violent criminals, not just regular criminals. I
thought I was given assurances that regular criminals, illegal aliens
would just they would be untouched, they would remain untouched.
I've been given assurances that it's just the violent ones
that you'd be getting. I'm serious. This is this is
(38:27):
how they're trying to split hairs in the White House
press room. If you don't believe me, listen to Peter
Alexander from NBC. Start with the criminals. There are many,
many criminals.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
NBC News has learned that ICE arrested eleven hundred and
seventy nine on documented immigrants on Sunday, but nearly half
of them five hundred and sixty six of the migrants
appear to have no prior criminal record besides entering the
country illegally. Is the President still focused exclusively which is
a civil crime, not a not a it's not criminal,
it's federal crime. So I'm asking, though he said he
(38:59):
was going to focus on those violent offenders first, so
it is violent offenders no longer the predicate for these
people to be deported.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
The President has said countless times on the campaign trail.
I've been with him at the rallies. I know you've
been there covering them. To Peter that he has focused
on launching the largest mass deportation operation in American history
of illegal criminals. And if you are an individual, a
foreign national who illegally enters the United States of America,
you are by definition a criminal and so therefore you
(39:25):
are subject to deportation.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
I apologize for interrupting, so to be clear, it's not
that violent criminals do not receive precedents in terms of
the deportations taking.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
The President has also said two things can beat you
at the same time. We want to deport illegal criminals,
illegal immigrants from this country. But the President has said
that of course the illegal criminal drug dealers, the rapists,
the murderers, the individuals who have committed heinous acts on
the interior of our country and who have terrorized law
abiding American citizens. Absolutely, those should be the priority of ICE.
(39:56):
But that doesn't mean that the other illegal criminals who
entered our nation's borders are off the table.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Let me ask you a.
Speaker 7 (40:01):
Separate question about the confusion.
Speaker 9 (40:03):
It's still.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
You hear Caroline Levitt laughing at this guy while he
was asking the questions. Well, the only crime they committed
was coming into the country illegally, So you I was
told these people would be able to get away scott free.
I'm telling you this is the thing. This is going
to be a new narrative. Well, she wasn't the only
one that asked this question. Listen, the thirty five hundred
arrests ICE is made so far since President.
Speaker 9 (40:26):
Trump came back into office.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
Can you just tell us the numbers how many have
a criminal record versus those who are just in the
country illegal, all of them because they illegally broke our
nation's laws and therefore they are criminals as far as
this administration goes, I know the last administration didn't see
it that way. So it's a big culture shift in
our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws
as a criminal. But that's exactly what they are here.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
They all have a criminal records and welcome.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
To the If they broke our nation's laws, yes they
are criminal.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
I don't know why this is so hard for these
people to understand. These people came into our country illegally.
They committed a federal crime with their very first act
coming into America. And here is the media they are
(41:17):
defending and splitting hairs about, well, this person's a violent crime,
this person just stole, this person, all our illegal aliens.
Here's the media fighting to defend people who aren't even citizens,
and to go a step further but defend people who
are all criminals. But don't give a shit about the
(41:39):
January sixth prisoners who were thrown in jail for fake charges.
Yes they were fake. You know, people like Jensaki calling
them insurrectionists and brainwashing morons to believe that January sixth
was some sort of insurrection. By the way, if you
think that and you're watching the show, which I know
(42:00):
you don't. I know people who watch this show listen
to the show are smart. But I got news for you,
if you think January sixth was an insurrection, you don't
know what an insurrection is. So just saying these media
types do grave damage to our country and have destroyed
people's lives. But Caroline Levitt, so the other fake narrative
(42:26):
that I want to lead you in on, because these
are the two things that the media's focused on. All
These aren't the illegal alien thing or thought there was
just gonna be violent criminals. And the other thing is
the price of eggs. Now, never mind the fact that
President Trump has been in office for seven days, eight days,
it's only been a week. The media has been on. Well,
(42:48):
you said that when Trump was elected the price of
eggs would come down. I mean, anyone with half a
brain knows that It's gonna take a little bit of
time for Trump's economic policies to take shape. And this
is why President Trump has made it a priority to
lower energy prices. This is why President Trump says drill, baby,
(43:11):
drill all the time because farmers use fossil fuels. Once
those eggs are produced, they're shipped to the stores and
trucks that use fuel, diesel fuel, and once they get
to the store, I mean there's a million reasons why.
Lowering the cost of energy lowers the cost on the
(43:31):
American consumer. But to you know, these mouth breathing journalists,
Oh no, you said the cost of eggs would come down,
and they haven't. I know it's only been eight days,
but what's the deal with that? Listen, listen, listen for yourself, Christian.
Thanks Carolyn, just real quick.
Speaker 10 (43:49):
You mentioned the inflation executive Order the President signed, but
a crisis of skyrocketed since President Trump took office. So
what specifically is he doing to lower those costs?
Speaker 8 (44:00):
Really glad you brought this up, because there is a
lot of reporting out there that is putting the onus
on this White House for the increased cost of eggs.
I would like to point out to each and every
one of you that in twenty twenty four, when Joe
Biden was in the Oval office or upstairs in the
residents sleeping, I'm not so sure egg prices increased sixty
five percent. In this country. We also have seen the
(44:24):
cost of everything, not just eggs, bacon, groceries, gasoline have
increased because of the inflationary policies of the last administration.
As far as the egg shortage, what's also contributing to
that is that the Biden administration in the Department of
Agriculture directed the mass killing of more than one hundred
million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken
(44:44):
supply in this country, therefore lack of egg supply, which
is leading to the shortage.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
These are two very stupid narratives. Yeah, they're stupid, I
get it, but the ME is doubling down on them.
I swear to God. Oh and okay, so someone in
the live chat I can't remember who it was, Gosh,
who was it asked about drones and if we heard
(45:14):
anything on drones. Well, this is Caroline Levitt's first press briefing.
Took about a week for her to get out in
front of the media. And by the way, as if
I didn't say it before, I can't remember who I did,
I'll say it now. The room was absolutely packed. The
Trump administration instituted this new policy where they're not just
relying on traditional media outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN,
(45:37):
Fox News. They're bringing in everybody, you know. So I
think the second question of the day went to Matt Boyle,
who is Breitbart's Washington DC correspondent, which is pretty awesome.
They're bringing in everybody. They're allowing independent content creators to
apply for White House media credentials. It's a great plan.
(46:00):
I give them enumply on the narrative to these fake
news outlets who do nothing and I mean it, nothing
but lie to the American people. The future is independent media.
The future is independent content creation. So the fact that
the Trump administration is empowering folks like this is a
(46:22):
great thing. But one of the very first things Carolyn
Levitt did on behalf of the president was tell the
American people what the hell is going on with these drones?
Speaker 8 (46:33):
After research and study, the drones that were flying over
New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown
by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many
of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals
that enjoy flying jones.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
In meantime, in time.
Speaker 8 (46:54):
It got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.
A statement from the President of the United States to
start this briefing with some news and with that I
will turn it over to question.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
I mean, so here's my thing with that. These were
these were federal companies companies that were doing tests. They
had to be these these drone tests had to be
approved by the federal government, by the Biden government. So
if Joe Biden and Biden and company knew about what
(47:32):
these drones were, then why in God's name didn't they
just tell the American people about what the drones were.
Why just let the American people wonder what the hell
is going on? And this is my point for all
the fake news out there covering the Trump White House
(47:53):
in a hostile way, because that is what you do.
That is all you know. You would prefer a White
House and the Biden administration who does nothing but lie
to you. And here you have Trump in his first
week has answered more questions than Biden has done in
four years. And oh, by the way, he's not lying
(48:13):
to you. You have a level of transparency that you
rarely ever have. And yet you're still doing the fake
news bullshit. These democrats don't care about you, They don't
care about how the American people feel about you. These
democrats lying to you and hoping that you'll carry water
for them. I mean, why do it? Why ruin your
(48:34):
own reputation. It's kind of unbelievable. A couple of other
things that I think you need to know about. Coming
out of the White House Press briefing, there was a
lot of talk about the Trump administration putting a temporary
freeze on federal grant payments, and the way that the
(48:56):
Democrats are handling this, and the way that their allies
and the METS or handling this is by saying, oh
my god, all of these entitlement programs like Snap and
Medicaid and all of these you know, food stamps, Trump
is freezing them. He's shutting them out. Oh my god,
Trump is evil. He doesn't care about all these people,
(49:17):
full stop. That's a lie. These programs do not affect
this freeze. I should say, this freeze on this federal
grant program has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement programs.
They're not a part of it. But that hasn't stopped
some in the media and some left wingers in Congress
(49:40):
to say that it has. But the reason why Trump
froze some of these programs is these government grants. I'm serious, folks,
fund some of the most ridiculous, left wing, insane shit
in the world. A lot of it isn't even isn't
even here in America and Patrick Casey put together this
awesome read on X about this very thing, and he said.
(50:04):
In twenty twenty one, the Biden administration gave five hundred
and forty thousand dollars to Transgender Equity Consulting, Inc. This
firm is comprised of six black and lateen X transgender
and non binary individuals, one of whom is apparently the
first BBW trans porn star. The Biden administration issued eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in federal grants to a
(50:25):
left wing organization LGBTQI plus Family Support Program, which have
characterized as promoting gender ideology for the children of military families.
Half a million to behavioral health for the transgender community
in Hawaii. One point two million to the New Orleans
Community Support Foundation to adopt a holistic, adaptive water management
(50:45):
vision that centers the leadership of Black, Indigenous, and people
of color commit I mean, so, I'm just saying the
list goes on and on and on. Some of these
programs are insane. And Caroline Levitt said from the briefing
from the podium today that one of these federal grants
was for fifty million dollars in condoms for the people
(51:07):
of Gaza. I'm sorry, but these are this this, these
all represent an absurd waste of our taxpayer dollars. It
is some of the craziest spending in the world and
it has to stop. And by the way, it doesn't
align with the Trump agenda. It doesn't align with what
(51:32):
he wants to do. And the reason why that's important
is that he was elected with a mandate he's working
on behalf of us. I don't want my taxpayer dollars
to go to these insane programs. And by the way,
you know what, you know what the people in Gaza
do with those condoms. Hamas takes them and they turn
(51:54):
them into explosives. They use them in explosive making. So basically,
what the Biden administration is doing with the fifty million
dollar condom program is help arm Hamas to wage and
conduct attack on Israel. But absolutely insane. Other thing that
came out is Caitlin Collins, you gotta hear this the
(52:18):
premise of this insane question that she asked, seriously, just
that you don't hate the media enough. I'm surprised Caroline
Levitt handled this in the way that she did.
Speaker 11 (52:27):
Well, what happened on Friday night. The administration fired several
Inspectors general without giving Congress the thirty day legally required
notification that they were being fired. I think only two
were left Djslan DOJ. And then yesterday we saw several
prosecutors I believed twelve fire from the Justice Department who
worked on the investigations into the president. As you know,
(52:47):
they are career prosecutors. Therefore they are afforded civil service protections.
How is the administration deciding which laws to follow and
which ones to ignore?
Speaker 8 (52:57):
So it is the belief of this White House White
House Counsel's Office that the President was within his executive
authority to do that. He is the executive of the
executive branch, and therefore he has the power to fire
anyone within the executive branch that he wishes to. There's
also a case that would before the Supreme Court in
twenty twenty Scala Law llc versus the Customs the Bureau Protection.
(53:21):
I would advise you to look at that case. And
that's the legality that this White House was wrestling.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
So the question, Caitlin Collins's question, how do you decide
what laws you're going to follow? And what laws you
don't I would have said, are you freaking kidding? First
of all, I reject the premise of your question. But
the president is the chief executive of the executive brands.
If he wants to fire somebody, he can do that,
(53:48):
just like every Democrat president in the last twenty five
years has done that. Wouldn't have the patience to deal
with some of these people. Okay, before we got to
get to this, I've got to get to this. There's
a new Captain America movie coming out. I promise you,
I know the show's almost over. There's a new Captain
America movie coming out now. I've told you before. I
(54:11):
am a huge Superman and Captain America fan. Superman, truth,
justice in the American way. I loved everything he stood for.
Captain America the pinnacle of American optimism. He's he fights
for what he believes in, he stands for what's right.
I've always loved Captain America and all the things that
(54:32):
he's represented as a kid. Seriously, but the dude who
plays Captain America, now, I swear to God, Disney, you
keep hiring these actors who completely destroy a product once
it's been filmed. In the case of this Captain America
Brave New World film, I think Disney in Marvel invested
(54:52):
one hundred and eighty five million dollars in making it,
and the dude that plays Captain American out I gotta believe,
did real damage. He's gonna do real damage to box
office numbers with the crazy stuff that he says about
playing Captain America and who he represents.
Speaker 9 (55:07):
But listen, Captain America represents a lot of different things,
and I don't think the term, you know, America should
be one of those represents.
Speaker 1 (55:19):
He doesn't think that the term America should be something
that Captain America represents. His name is Captain America. For
the love of God. He represents American exceptionalism. He represents
(55:42):
everything that is good about this country. But the guy
who plays Captain America, now I think his name is
Anthony Mackie, doesn't believe that. Doesn't believe that. And so look,
I try to I can't. I can't help myself with
some of this stuff. Sometimes if these Disney executives just
realize you've tried out one actor or Okay, if this
(56:06):
dude that was playing Captain America said man, I get
to play Captain America. I get to wear red, white,
and blue spangly outfit represent the best country on the
face of the planet. Man, America is the best country
in the world. I guarant damn te you those numbers
at the box office would exceed all expectations in the
overall budget for the movie. After he said that, I
(56:30):
bet you they don't even break even. Now. I mean,
they might break even when you consider the global box
office with it, but I'm telling you, stuff just drives
me crazy. Okay, Now on to the rumble rant tips
Ultra Maga hard courses. Trump is probably going to be
saving me a ton of money this year, so only
right to pass them on. Thank you, Ultra Maga. As
(56:51):
you know, Ultra, you've been around, I think since my
very first show. One hundred percent of everything that you
give goes right back into the show to give you
a better quality of viewing experience. And thank you, my friend.
And yes, Salty Mama awesome name by the way, says
condoms for all in the press briefing room. Please don't reproduce, well,
(57:14):
what about the conservatives? You want the conservatives to reproduce?
Speaker 4 (57:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (57:19):
We need more conservatives and g Fontes h G Fonts
as always, you're I don't think a salary should be
associated with his work on this project. G Fonte is
always a regular rumble rant tipper in the live chat. Folks,
Thank you all. You all are the best. Oh, smash
(57:40):
that like button, that little gray thumb beneath the video.
Smash it, turn it green because when you smash it,
it turns green. That helps us make the leader board.
We go for four hundred every single night, four hundred
rumbles every single night. If we hit that threshold, normally
we make the leaderboard. So it's nice. It's nice when
we do tomorrow. Guess what Savage Wednesday got Savage Rich
(58:04):
Barris already locked down for tomorrow. So tomorrow is gonna
be an awesome show. And I know many of you
all think, what flannel color am I gonna wear tonight?
Of course you're seeing, Well, it looks green on camera.
This is not green. This is a black plaid color,
a black flannel. Who knows what I'll wear tomorrow. But
in the wintertime, because it's freezing cold in this studio,
I wear flannel because it helps me get through the
(58:27):
show without sniffling too much. So as always folks, thank
you all for watching. God bless you all, and God
bless this amazing country that we call home. That's it
for Battleground Light, Battleground Live, take care, good night, and
I will see you tomorrow.
Warning. E'repe about to enter the arena and join the
Battle to Save America with your host Sean Parnell. Good evening, America,
Welcome to battle Ground Live. This is the show where
we kick ass, and we take names, and we lock
(00:23):
horns with the radical left. We never quit, we never
surrendered from sena Shining Sea and everybody in between. Welcome
Patriots on this glorious Tuesday, and a glorious Tuesday it is,
you know, folks, I love being a dad, I really do.
(00:45):
I mean, there are some frustrating moments, I mean, but
by and large, being being a father's one of the
greatest things in the world. I absolutely love it, even
the frustrating moments, especially when you look back at them
and retros and you know, there's no field manual for children.
(01:07):
There's no shortage of people out there who would give
you suggestions about how you should raise your kids. But
we've got five here at Fort Parnell. Commander Melanie and
I have an amazing, blended family. It's a little bit
of a challenge sometimes, but most of the time it's
just so cool, and each kid is just so unbelievably
(01:31):
different that it's just funny and so this time of
day is always a little bit not a little bit
challenging here in Fort Parnell, but a lot challenging in
Fort Parnell, mostly for Commander Melanie, because I'm down here
doing this live show and she is coordinating. And this is,
(01:54):
by the way, no small task. She is coordinating the
pickup of all of our children from school. Our oldest drives,
so sometimes she will drive, she'll drive home from school,
she'll pick up her smock for work, and she will
drive right to work at the grocery store. And then
(02:18):
you know, the rest of the time, Commander Melanie's running
out and picking up kids for school, and she's doing
it right now. And then you know when kids have
extra curriculars, Emma, right now, my fourteen year old daughter,
she plays basketball. My other fourteen year old daughter starts
volleyball on Saturday. She's got like these lead up to
these volleyball tryouts and they start at seven o'clock in
(02:38):
the morning on a Saturday, and she's tail, I can't
believe I have to wake up at seven in the morning,
five point thirty in the morning just to get ready
for volleyball practice on Saturday. And so it's a lot
of work, coordinating driving here and there with kids. Kudos
to my amazing wife for making that happen, because it
is not easy. But right before the show, I walked
upstairs and refilled my drink. And you know, for those
(03:01):
of you all who've been watching the show, you know
I got my trusty camouflage drink in this YETI and yes,
I know how many of you think about YETI, I
get it. But this I've got this cup a long
time ago. It's multi caam. You can see it's all
worn and tattered, but it's it's like the only cup
that I use. And they don't make this multi cam
(03:23):
pattern anymore. And YETI so I'm just very loyal to
this cup. I use it all the time. So I
run it upstairs to fill this cup up. My son,
my youngest son, is just getting home from school. He
gets home from school absurdly late, spends a long time
on the bus, far too long in my opinion, But
he comes upstairs and he goes, oh hey, Dad, He goes,
(03:44):
did you get your hair cut today? This is funny
having that question. First of all, he was the first
one in a very busy house that who noticed. But
this is just quintessential Evan. And if you knew Evan,
you'd know what I mean. This kid, he just notices everything,
He listens to everything. He coordinates his outfits perfectly. He is.
(04:10):
He loves shoes, specifically Jordan's. I guess all kids like
these these Jordan's shoes now just kind of like when
I was a kid. But he wants his bedroom to
look nice. He wants his bedroom to look clean. He
wants his desk to look nice. He wants his desk
to look clean. There's a little, you know, little left
to be desired with the laundry part of it, but
I know Commander Melanie is working on that with him.
(04:34):
And then as he said, oh, you got a nice haircut,
then he fills this bowl full of goldfish, about a
big bowl full of goldfish about this high, and I'm like,
holy smokes, dude, that's a big bowl of golf goldfish.
And he's like nah and just walks away. This morning,
on my way to school, I was talking to my
daughter Emma, who's basketball right now, about this project that
(04:56):
she did for school and it was for social studies
and she really likes her so social studies teacher and
said that the teacher said to her, Look, if you're
going to be a politician, And by the way, most
people in this area know who I am. They know
the last name, they know that, they know that I'm
a fire and brimstone conservative. That's just that's just my reputation.
(05:18):
If you don't, if you know the kinds of campaigns
that I ran. But this teacher said to Emma, you know,
I know both sides of these issues. You know, liberal
conservative arguments on both sides. And I bet you U
students couldn't even tell which side that I'm on, even
though Emma's like that, I think I know what side
this guy's on. But she did this project where she
(05:41):
talked talked about the executive branch and the legislative branch
and the judicial branch, and a debate that they got
in at school about the Second Amendments. And you know,
started talking to my daughter, and of course my young son, Evan,
who notices everything, is sitting in the back seat and
we're driving to school and talking about the Second Amendment
and talking about the founder's vision for this country. And
(06:03):
she said in the debate in school that there was
a brief conversation about the left wanting to take away
people's guns. And that is accurate because the Left has
been wanting to take away our Second Amendment rights as
Americans for quite some time now. And I said, you know,
the Founders, I said, I love this stuff. The social
studies class that you're in, learning about our government, learning
(06:24):
about our founders, learning about our history, the Constitution, the Amendments,
the Bill of Rights, everything. This is like one of
the most important classes that you will ever have. And
I mean that when I say it. Yes, math is
important and all that stuff too, But people don't know
the history of our country anymore. They don't understand our
(06:47):
founder's vision. They don't understand the Bill of Rights. They
don't understand the philosophical underpinnings of the Constitution and why
it is the greatest document in the history of the world.
And I told my daughter on the way to school,
the Founders escaped them trying to explain this to a
fourteen year old, But you know, all of my fourteen
(07:08):
both my fourteen year olds are ridiculously smart, so they
get it. So the Founders escaped an oppressive country and
came here and wrote a constitution that empowered the people
over government. A document that restrained government's authority, power and
reach over the citizens. And they started that task by
(07:33):
crafting the Bill of Rights. And every citizen in America life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness and the rights given to
us bestowed upon us in those Bill of Rights. Our
rights with a capital are our rights in the truest sense,
(07:54):
and that they were bestowed upon us by our creator.
This is what our founder said. Other words, they are
given to us by God and not government. And all
the while she's just listening to me. I said, so,
there are two parts to this Second Amendment debate. And
it's awesome because my daughter Emma is super into politics.
(08:15):
She just is, and she's a conservative and I love it.
But I said, they're two parts to the Second Amendment debate.
One of the left will say, oh, these are assault weapons.
They're dangerous military style rifles on the streets. We can't
have that in America, just do too much damage. Well, actually,
the Founders wrote the Second Amendment to protect liberty from tyranny,
(08:38):
to give the citizens a way to fight back against
a government that reached just too far. You know, many
in the media, certainly the left, has tried to redefine
what our history, redesigned, what our history really was. Make
people think that what I just said is extreme, it's not.
(09:00):
That's the core reason of why this Second Amendment was
written to fight back against the government should they step
out of line. Yes, that's a fact. People might not
like that. I know many of the people and the
battle crew. And by the way, Dan Nunn and the Nunchucks,
I see you. You rated the stream. Welcome. If you're
not following Dan Nunn and the nun Report, go follow
subscribe right now. Is a great patriot with a great show.
(09:23):
But the left has been trying to redefine our history
for some time now. We're not buying it. But the
two parts to this debate are there's no such thing
in as an assault rifle. Assault is a distinctly human characteristic.
The left just conjured up that word out of whole cloth.
But beyond that, yes, our founders did intend us to
(09:49):
own ar style rifles to prevent the government from having
a monopoly of force over the people. Also to protect yourself,
to protect your family, to provide for your family. With hunting,
I mean, the left makes it seem oh hunting, that's
all the less second Amendment's about hunting, it's about protecting yourself,
protecting your family, it's about providing for your family. But
mostly it's about protecting liberty from tyranny. I said. The
(10:11):
second part of this argument, and the one that I
find is most compelling, is that the Left or any
government official, they don't have the authority. I reject their
authority and their desire to take my guns in the
first place, because if our rights are given to us
(10:35):
by our creator and bestowed upon us by God, not government,
then those rights can never be taken away by a
government official, and therefore Left has no authority, and I
reject it, and that's what the founders intended. But I'm
telling you, I go into this day loving being a father.
(10:57):
I always love being a husband to Commander Alane. She
challenges me in great ways every day to be a
better person. But being a father, it is just so
cool because you get to have these conversations with your
kids in the hope that they grow up to be
to fight for this country. That's what it's all about, right,
(11:17):
That's why I'm doing this show, or how about you know,
that's why people volunteer to serve this country. That's why
people risk their life for this country. That's why people
would be willing to die for this country if need be,
because what we have here is special. And if our
kids don't take up that mantle, and if our kids
(11:37):
don't truly understand all the amazing things that we have
here in this country, and by god, if they're not
willing to step up and fight for it when it's
their time, then what is the point of all of this?
And so, all right, enough that we've heard beyond my
(12:01):
soapbox now talk about this stuff. But this is the
kind of stuff that's on my mind. You know, I
think four years, Okay, Trump's an office for four years,
and I'm not tired of winning. And it seems to
be Trump is posting w's every single day since he's
been back in the White House. But four years goes
by in the blink of an eye. And what then,
and what happens when I'm too old to fight? What
(12:21):
happens when I'm not here? One of my kids gonna
take up the fight? I mean, that's our legacy, right
is what do we leave on this planet after we're gone?
Will people pick up where we left off? I hope so.
But Anyways, Okay, let's shift to some of the headlines.
We got so much to talk about today. Smash that
(12:44):
like button, that little gray thumb beneath the video. When
you smash it, it turns green and it helps us
make the leaderboard we did last night. Thank you to
the battle crew. Okay, let me follow up on a
story that we covered last night. So on Friday, we
talked a lot, a lot about the hag Seth vote.
We talked about Murkowski Collins and the McConnell thing was
(13:07):
a bit of a surprise, but he was on the
fence too. The vote had not happened by the time
we did the show. It happened later that night on
Friday Now on that show, and I had raised this
question multiple times throughout the week when this fake allegation
rolled out, this eleventh hour allegation to Derael Pete's nomination
(13:29):
rolled out from Pete's brother's ex wife. I don't know
why people would think that that's compelling or anything but
politically motivated. I don't know, but the media and the
left in this country all they have our hoaxes in life,
so it doesn't surprise me that they would have tried
it but all the while, she released a statement when
(13:51):
she leveled these accusations and came forward, and she said,
I have been assured that me coming forward will convince
other republic plins not to vote for Pete heg Seth.
So she makes her motivation very clear. And this is
a very sinister move by the people behind the curtain.
(14:11):
And I can't even say the left, and I'll tell
you why here in a second. It's a sinister move.
And I want to take you all the way back
to something that I said about Lindsey Graham and Jony
Earnst when they were on the fence about hag Seth.
They would go on the news and they'd say, I'm
not these anonymous allegations. They're anonymous. I'm not putting any
(14:34):
stock in them. Now willing to come forward. Well, that
makes things a little bit different to me when I
hear that. That's a senator trying to have it both ways,
trying to say, yeah, I reject anonymous allegations. No, I'm
not going to let these anonymous allegations sway my vote,
because damn it, I'm a conservative and proud. But if
(14:56):
there's somebody out there that wants to come forward, doesn't
matter how ludicrous her diculous they are. You want to
come forward, put a face to the accusations. Well we
might have something different then that. To me, that's what
they were doing. And so it came out yesterday night
that you know. Okay, So last week I said, well,
(15:16):
who's shorter? Who assured this woman that by making this
false allegation against Pete would sway Republicans? Rich thought it
was was Lisa Murkowski. Remember that I'm coming over here
to the live chat battle care you remember Rich Barris
and I and some of my monologues about this. Who
this who assured her that this that her false accusation
(15:38):
would sway votes? Let me know in the live chat
if you remember this conversation. But come to find out
late last night that the accuser was Tom Tillis, Senator
from North Carolina, Republican Senator from North Carolina. Now, after
(15:59):
the sho show, there was stories that had been leaking
and in quick succession about Tillis wavering, and then Pete
put out on Twitter an answer to probably ten or
so questions that Senator Tillis had for him about this
new round of allegations. But it was Tom Tillis. Senator
(16:22):
Tillis from North Carolina, a Republican that assured her that
her coming forward would sway other Republicans to vote no.
And this is why people say, if you want a
friend in politics, get a dog. I don't see the
(16:42):
Democrats doing stuff like this. And when asked about it,
I mean, you can go read what Senator Tillis said.
He said, I'll paraphrase, and I'm not attacking Senator Tillis here,
but what he said was, yeah, I said this might
sway people. I investigated, I did my due, Dilli investigated
these new round of allegations, and I voted for Pete.
(17:03):
So okay, I will grant you that. I will grant
you that. But if Republicans are really going to win
in the way that we need them to over these
next four years, we really need them to stop this
back room bullshit. And that's exactly what it is. It's
(17:25):
back room bullshit that flies in the face of the
mandate that President Trump received when he won just a
couple of months ago. That's the reason why this stuff
happens behind closed doors. These Republican senators don't want to
be held accountable by the voters. Did you see the
(17:46):
news that came out today. I mean, Charlie Kirk posted
something about it. He said, I'm told that the vote
for Tulsea Gabbard might be done privately in a skiff,
with the vote tallies kept secret from the American people.
Harley Kirk says, this is outrageous and wrong. The American
people deserve to know how their senators vote on Trump's nominees.
(18:06):
This is another form of what This is just another
form of what Tom Tillis did by assuring someone behind
the scenes that you know, doing something in a certain
way would persuade Republican senators to vote in a way
that was preferable to Democrats. But here again, these Republicans
want cover political cover for potentially voting against Taulcy Gabbert.
(18:32):
And look, you're gonna afford to lose three. You can
afford to lose three and Taulcy Gabbard and RFK. I'm
just gonna tell you, folks, these are tougher. It's tougher
for me to see how this is gonna work than
it was for Pete. Because Pete is a lockstock and
(18:52):
barrel conservative. The calculus is, well, he might lose a
couple of squishes, but by and large Republicans are going
to back him and buying large Democrats will not. But
with TAULSI and RFK, I believe they're gonna get some
Democrat support. I also believe that there are going to
be more than three Republicans who vote against them because
(19:15):
they're Democrats, and in the case of Taulci Gabbard, people
like you know, neo cons and neo conservatives who are
who are old guard Republicans and interventionalists basically American foreign
policy during the twenty years of the war in Iraq
and Afghanistan. A lot of those senators, and by the way,
most of the Republicans in the Senate are old guard Republicans.
(19:40):
I don't know. I just don't have a warm and
fuzzy about how those senators are gonna vote. And what
it's gonna come down to with TAUSI is the support
that she receives in the Democrat side of the aisle
going to exceed the support that she loses on the
Republican side. I think the same is true with RFK.
(20:04):
It's gonna be tough. But one thing that I do
know is that Americans deserve to know how their senators
are voting on Trump's cabinet confirmations. So we'll see. We'll
keep our ear to the ground on that Capitol Hill.
Police caught an assassin at the Capitol today with Molotov cocktails.
(20:25):
Apparently this guy was targeting Scott Bessant. I think, who
is the newly confirmed Treasury Secretary, and Pete Hegseth, who is,
of course Secretary Hegseeth now the Secretary of Defense. And
it got me thinking about assassination attempts. And I know
I'm already twenty minutes into the show. It's like, I
(20:48):
gotta just freewheeling here. I'm sorry if I'm off on
a tangent, but I promised that I would not stop
talking about July thirteenth, and you know that faithful day
in American history where somebody tried to kill President Trump.
(21:08):
I was there right in the path of the bullets,
Corey comparator, sitting right behind in the bleachers, behind Commander Melanie,
and I my wife was almost killed. I mean, she
was right in the path of the bullets, could have
easily been killed. And I am righteously pissed off about
the fact that we still have absolutely positively no idea
(21:35):
what happened. None, and in fact, within forty eight hours
after the assassination attempt, there was a total media blackout
on it. We still know nothing about Matthew Crooks. We
still know nothing about his house that was searched. We
still know nothing about why his house was sterile. We
(21:57):
still know nothing about why this twenty something kid had
absolutely zero social media presence whatsoever. We still know nothing
about who this kid was contacting before, or why he
had five different cell phones, or who he was texting
or calling moments before the shots rang out. We know
(22:18):
nothing about this, and I I'm just outraged by this.
I'm outraged by this, and really, to me, this is
an indictment of the fake news media, the fake narrative,
not truth driven, fake news media that for so long
(22:41):
has had so much power. But I got listen, folks,
they're on the outs. They are losing power every single day,
and they don't like it, and I am here for it.
Jim Acosta one of the worst offenders in fake news history.
Rude Bloviator, you know, former White House correspondent for CNN,
(23:03):
turned host on CNN Dismal Dismal Ratings CNN apparently tried
to move him to the midnight slot. Jim Acosta instead
of that, quit But listen to what Trump says. So Trump,
upon hearing all of this, and this is why I
titled the episode the way that I did. Upon hearing
all this, Trump says, Wow, really good news. Jim Acosta,
(23:26):
one of the worst and most dishonest reporters in journalistic history,
a mazor sleeves bag has been regulated by CNN Fake
News to the midnight hour death Valley because of extraordinarily
bad ratings and no talent in parentheses and no talent.
Word is that he wants to quit, and that would
(23:46):
be even better. Jim is a major loser who will
fail no matter where he ends up. Good luck, Jim.
A couple a couple hours after this, Jim Acosta says, this.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant.
I've always believed it's the job of the press to
hold power to account. I've always tried to do that
here at CNN, and I plan on going doing all
of that in the future. One final message, don't give
into the lies, don't give into the fear. Hold on
to the truth and to hope even if you have
(24:24):
to get out your phone record that message. I will
not give into the lies. I will not give into
the fear. Post it on your social media so people
can hear from you too. I'll have more to say
about my plans in the coming days, but until then,
I want to thank all of you for tuning in.
Has been an honor to me.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Yeah, okay, okay. These people have done extraordinary damage to
our country. Extra I mean incalculable damage to our country.
I'm want to pivot to J six and then I
want to go into Trump's very first press conference in
Caroline Levitt, in my opinion, did it a job. But
at some point in the show, I gotta I gotta
(25:05):
talk about people who help us pay the bills. Okay,
yesterday on the show, we talked about Trump. Oh, by
the way, SMA smash that like button, that little great
thumb beneath the video turn it green smashed that smash
that rumble button. So talked about yesterday Trump forming a
commission to investigate the investigators, the prosecutors who went after
(25:27):
Jay six families. They did horrible things to Ja six families.
They trumped up this novel legal theory about fifteen twelve
see Obstruction of an official proceeding. You remember we talked
about all this stuff on the show while it was happening. Well,
these j six prosecutors who were fired under Donald Trump
(25:49):
for basically Trump put out a memo on this, or
the Trump administration, not Trump himself put out a memo
on this saying like basically paraphrasing, you can go look
up the memo yourself, but the just is you can't
be trusted to carry out the president's agendas. So guess
what you'll fill you. So it's the president's prerogative right
(26:10):
as the head of the executive branch. The DOJ is
part of the executive branch. President can fire whoever the
hell he wants. Bill Clinton did it, Barack Obama did it.
The moment that they came into the White House, they
cleaned house. And I am proud to report that Trump
is doing the same thing. So what are these impartial jurists, doctors,
(26:31):
these DOJ attorneys do. Well, they promptly run to MSNBC,
a hyperpartisan network, to bitch, moaning, complain like any fair
lawyer would do.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Let me ask you, we're all trying to make sense
of what this announcement of this new review is going
to be and what it's about. You were part of
the team that tirelessly prosecuted these insurrectionists. Are you worried
about being targeted for your work on prosecuting those cases?
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Jen, No, maybe I should be, But I know the
work that the team did. I know how admirable and
meticulous and thorough the team was. I know that we
carried out our obligations and our duties to adhere to
the rule of law. And so while I think that
this mission, this sort of wild goose chase, is one
(27:24):
intended to suggest there was something nefarious, I would point
out that the charging decisions using this obstruction Statute fifteen
twelve c. Two was not only supported by grand juries
juries defendants who pled guilty. Courts over twenty courts in
the District of Columbia upheld this charging decision. The District
(27:47):
of Columbia Circuit Court upheld it. And it was only
the Supreme Court of the United States that finally narrowed
the application of this statute. And I would just note
that they said nothing about the impropriety of using this
statute to charge defendants. And so while the new US
attorney is seemingly going on a wild goose chase to
(28:09):
suggest that the prosecutors did something wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
Here.
Speaker 4 (28:12):
We know we didn't and we know that we did
our job.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
But you guys are all going to be asked for
files and documents and emails, and you just have to
figure out how to deal with that.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Correct.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Like I said, it seems like somewhat of a wild
goose chase. There are I'm sure tens of thousands of
files and documents and emails. A different news station reported
that the preliminary report was due on Friday, and so
I look forward to hearing about that. But I just
can't imagine any meaningful work could actually be done given
(28:45):
the scope of this investigation.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
Let me ask you about this guy and Martin, I
just talked about him in the introduction here. Who is
now the acting US attorney in Washington.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
D C.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
It seems to me a little bit like it's the
arsonist in charge of the fire department. There may be
better analogies, but you spend so much time working on
these cases, how do you see this?
Speaker 4 (29:07):
I think it's from a person who worked so hard
and so long in the office. I think it's insulting
to have a new person come in and not only
undermine all the work that we've done, but speak out
directly against it, and again suggests that the prosecutors that
he's now responsible for governing, I suppose acted nefariously or
(29:31):
outside of their duties. I think it's harmful to the
institution of the department, and it's unfounded.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
So I know that was a little bit longer than
the kind of clips that I usually show on this
on the podcast. But this section has this video, and
then I'm gonna show another one of a January sixth
father whose son has just been basically tortured in prison.
But this DOJ, this impartial d J lawyer who ran
(30:00):
to MSNBC to bitch and moan and complain that now
the hunters were now becoming the hunted. Essentially, I mean,
they're gonna have to defend these outrageous actions that they've
perpetrated on American people, and I believe that they should.
There has to be some level of accountability for lawfare
(30:21):
like this and the lives that they have destroyed. And
know that's not an understatement. I'm gonna tell you why.
I We give you just one example here, in a
second one of many. But she says, oh, all the
DC courts, all the grand juries in DC, they thought
fifteen twelve C two was completely fine. And this is
why I have no problems with the blanket pardons in
(30:44):
these j six cases, because the Washington d C. Court
system is a joke. It is a corrupt mess. Ninety
five plus percent of the jury pool there are hardcore
activist Democrats. These are not blue dog Democrats in western
(31:05):
Pennsylvania who are pro life and pro gun and love America. No,
these are hardcore activist Democrats. Ninety five plus percent of
the people. So this is not a fair jury pool.
This is not a jury of your peers. These judges,
even the ones that were appointed by Ronald Reagan, they
are so they are essentially a praetorian guard for the establishment,
(31:30):
for the deep state, for the Washington bureaucracy. They are
so woefully out of touch with the American people. And
these Democrats on the bench are just partisan actors. That's it,
plain and simple. I've said it before, it I'll say
it again. I'm not a lawyer. I don't claim to
be a lawyer, but I don't have to be a
legal scholar to tell you how liberal Supreme Court justices
(31:51):
will come down on a very very important progressive issue.
They will always doesn't mastitution says, doesn't matter about laws,
doesn't matter about norms or anything like that. They will
come down on the side of the progressive cause one
hundred percent of the time because that is what they do.
It's what they do. These people should be held accountable
(32:14):
for the hell that they've put Americans through. Listen to
this January sixth father talk about the treatment of his
son and the Washington d C supposedly fair Washington d
C system.
Speaker 6 (32:27):
I just have lost everything. Their husbands, the fathers, the breadwinners,
have been taken from them and put in prison unlawfully
for many years for the simplest of infractions.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
You said, this wasn't the first prison that your son
was at. Can you talk to us about what they
charged him with and why he was at another prison
before coming here.
Speaker 6 (32:46):
Sure, what they do is it's called diesel therapy, So
you can't settle. So what they'll do is they'll When
they first picked my son up on January sixteenth, twenty
twenty one, they scooped him up and then they started
taking them from prison to prison, spent two hundred two
days down in the bowels of the DC prison. Is
the conditions they are so egregious. He was actually sifting
(33:07):
water through a sock because if there's so much rust
in the bottom of that prison that you can't drink
the water, and so, and they would lay them on
it's caught the lights. This is like Vietnam where they
had lights on all the time. You had two blankets,
they call them suicide blankets and uh, and you just
laid them on a on a on a basically a
block and not even you didn't even have a mattress.
So and then what they do as soon as you
(33:29):
start to get communications with your attorneys and your family,
they scoop you up and they take you to another prison.
And then so you'll be there for two weeks. You're
usually a week to two weeks you're in solitary where
they're transiting you into the new prison. And then you're
there for oh god, maybe three to five months they
ship you out again. And there was there was a
(33:49):
time there on two Christmas ago, we didn't know where
he was for like I want to say, almost three weeks.
How is that possible? How come you can't, you know,
call his family. Nobody knows where he's at. When you
can't talk to your attorneys, you can't hardly even talk
to your family, and you can't possibly, you know, make
a defense. And then when you do get your attorneys,
you talk to your attorneys, and then they scoop you
(34:09):
up in a movie to the prison. All your notes
and stuff they take so they know exactly what your
defense is. It's like playing cards with your opponent looking
over your back, you're looking at your hand. It's impossible
to win. What has happened to under the Biden regime
was so egregious, so anti American, listened to institutional they
walked all over our Bill of rights. Thank god President
Trump came in here because not just for our patriots
(34:31):
but and our families, but for all of America. Because
if they didn't like you, they would do anything to
shut you up. They tried to shut down my businesses.
They had the local, the state agencies come after my companies.
I got a bunch of companies, our restaurants, and so
they'll stop at nothing to shut you down. And I've
lived through it, and so here we are today.
Speaker 5 (34:50):
You're standing out here President Trump signed the part in
over twenty four hours ago or coming up on twenty
four hours ago. Your son is still not out. What
reasons have they given you for that? What do you
think is actually going on?
Speaker 6 (35:01):
What this is is nothing more than this, this nasty
Hotton mayor of this city that controls these facilities. They're
not federal facilities. They're they're city run facilities. So what
she's doing, because she's all bent out of shape cause
her out, she is making doing everything she possibly can
to hold up the process and also harm And my
(35:24):
son was assaulted by a lieutenant and file other guards
last night. He was sue his assaulted punched. He was
sitting in the middle of the quad waiting to go
to get processed and go out, and in they handcuffed
and they wrenched his wrists, but behind him I punched him.
From what I understand, they threw him physically into his
into his cell and that's where he was for the
rest of the night. And this is this is a
(35:45):
this is a young man who has been pardoned like
everybody else, and so this is how they're treating them.
So we're gonna we're we already have a fault lawsuit file.
But this just adds to that.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
So this is so evil and so terrible. I mean,
just try to put yourself in that man's shoes about
watching your son, your family member, you know, your blood,
(36:16):
being politically persecuted and thrown in a prison for what
were essentially at best misdemeanor charges. Imagine the pain and
the heartache and the hell that that man must have felt,
along with his son and his entire family for the
(36:37):
last four years of the evil, evil Biden administration and
attorneys like that January sixth attorney, Yeah, we didn't do
anything wrong. DC Court said, we were fine. The only
time we were stopped is when we went to the
Supreme Court. Yet that is scary that you weren't stopped earlier,
because this type of shit should not happen in America.
(37:00):
And so you go from that to Trump's Caroline Levitt's
very first press briefing today, and by the way, she
did an awesome job. I mean that press room was packed.
But the media is doing some insanely sinister things right
now that are just in their infancy, and I want
(37:21):
to give you a heads up about them. But you'd
think if the media were honest they'd be screaming about
the treatment of these j six political prisoners. In a
just world and adjust country, that is all our media
would talk about until these people were set free. But
(37:42):
instead many members of the media are taking up valuable
time at White House press briefings. And this is one
of the things I want to talk to you. Talk
to you about this narrative about the illegal invasion of
our country, southern border type stuff, this idea that they're
(38:05):
trying to DIFFERENTI you, I thought you said it was
just gonna be violent criminals, not just regular criminals. I
thought I was given assurances that regular criminals, illegal aliens
would just they would be untouched, they would remain untouched.
I've been given assurances that it's just the violent ones
that you'd be getting. I'm serious. This is this is
(38:27):
how they're trying to split hairs in the White House
press room. If you don't believe me, listen to Peter
Alexander from NBC. Start with the criminals. There are many,
many criminals.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
NBC News has learned that ICE arrested eleven hundred and
seventy nine on documented immigrants on Sunday, but nearly half
of them five hundred and sixty six of the migrants
appear to have no prior criminal record besides entering the
country illegally. Is the President still focused exclusively which is
a civil crime, not a not a it's not criminal,
it's federal crime. So I'm asking, though he said he
(38:59):
was going to focus on those violent offenders first, so
it is violent offenders no longer the predicate for these
people to be deported.
Speaker 8 (39:05):
The President has said countless times on the campaign trail.
I've been with him at the rallies. I know you've
been there covering them. To Peter that he has focused
on launching the largest mass deportation operation in American history
of illegal criminals. And if you are an individual, a
foreign national who illegally enters the United States of America,
you are by definition a criminal and so therefore you
(39:25):
are subject to deportation.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
I apologize for interrupting, so to be clear, it's not
that violent criminals do not receive precedents in terms of
the deportations taking.
Speaker 8 (39:32):
The President has also said two things can beat you
at the same time. We want to deport illegal criminals,
illegal immigrants from this country. But the President has said
that of course the illegal criminal drug dealers, the rapists,
the murderers, the individuals who have committed heinous acts on
the interior of our country and who have terrorized law
abiding American citizens. Absolutely, those should be the priority of ICE.
(39:56):
But that doesn't mean that the other illegal criminals who
entered our nation's borders are off the table.
Speaker 1 (40:01):
Let me ask you a.
Speaker 7 (40:01):
Separate question about the confusion.
Speaker 9 (40:03):
It's still.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
You hear Caroline Levitt laughing at this guy while he
was asking the questions. Well, the only crime they committed
was coming into the country illegally, So you I was
told these people would be able to get away scott free.
I'm telling you this is the thing. This is going
to be a new narrative. Well, she wasn't the only
one that asked this question. Listen, the thirty five hundred
arrests ICE is made so far since President.
Speaker 9 (40:26):
Trump came back into office.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
Can you just tell us the numbers how many have
a criminal record versus those who are just in the
country illegal, all of them because they illegally broke our
nation's laws and therefore they are criminals as far as
this administration goes, I know the last administration didn't see
it that way. So it's a big culture shift in
our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws
as a criminal. But that's exactly what they are here.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
They all have a criminal records and welcome.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
To the If they broke our nation's laws, yes they
are criminal.
Speaker 1 (40:56):
I don't know why this is so hard for these
people to understand. These people came into our country illegally.
They committed a federal crime with their very first act
coming into America. And here is the media they are
(41:17):
defending and splitting hairs about, well, this person's a violent crime,
this person just stole, this person, all our illegal aliens.
Here's the media fighting to defend people who aren't even citizens,
and to go a step further but defend people who
are all criminals. But don't give a shit about the
(41:39):
January sixth prisoners who were thrown in jail for fake charges.
Yes they were fake. You know, people like Jensaki calling
them insurrectionists and brainwashing morons to believe that January sixth
was some sort of insurrection. By the way, if you
think that and you're watching the show, which I know
(42:00):
you don't. I know people who watch this show listen
to the show are smart. But I got news for you,
if you think January sixth was an insurrection, you don't
know what an insurrection is. So just saying these media
types do grave damage to our country and have destroyed
people's lives. But Caroline Levitt, so the other fake narrative
(42:26):
that I want to lead you in on, because these
are the two things that the media's focused on. All
These aren't the illegal alien thing or thought there was
just gonna be violent criminals. And the other thing is
the price of eggs. Now, never mind the fact that
President Trump has been in office for seven days, eight days,
it's only been a week. The media has been on. Well,
(42:48):
you said that when Trump was elected the price of
eggs would come down. I mean, anyone with half a
brain knows that It's gonna take a little bit of
time for Trump's economic policies to take shape. And this
is why President Trump has made it a priority to
lower energy prices. This is why President Trump says drill, baby,
(43:11):
drill all the time because farmers use fossil fuels. Once
those eggs are produced, they're shipped to the stores and
trucks that use fuel, diesel fuel, and once they get
to the store, I mean there's a million reasons why.
Lowering the cost of energy lowers the cost on the
(43:31):
American consumer. But to you know, these mouth breathing journalists,
Oh no, you said the cost of eggs would come down,
and they haven't. I know it's only been eight days,
but what's the deal with that? Listen, listen, listen for yourself, Christian.
Thanks Carolyn, just real quick.
Speaker 10 (43:49):
You mentioned the inflation executive Order the President signed, but
a crisis of skyrocketed since President Trump took office. So
what specifically is he doing to lower those costs?
Speaker 8 (44:00):
Really glad you brought this up, because there is a
lot of reporting out there that is putting the onus
on this White House for the increased cost of eggs.
I would like to point out to each and every
one of you that in twenty twenty four, when Joe
Biden was in the Oval office or upstairs in the
residents sleeping, I'm not so sure egg prices increased sixty
five percent. In this country. We also have seen the
(44:24):
cost of everything, not just eggs, bacon, groceries, gasoline have
increased because of the inflationary policies of the last administration.
As far as the egg shortage, what's also contributing to
that is that the Biden administration in the Department of
Agriculture directed the mass killing of more than one hundred
million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken
(44:44):
supply in this country, therefore lack of egg supply, which
is leading to the shortage.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
These are two very stupid narratives. Yeah, they're stupid, I
get it, but the ME is doubling down on them.
I swear to God. Oh and okay, so someone in
the live chat I can't remember who it was, Gosh,
who was it asked about drones and if we heard
(45:14):
anything on drones. Well, this is Caroline Levitt's first press briefing.
Took about a week for her to get out in
front of the media. And by the way, as if
I didn't say it before, I can't remember who I did,
I'll say it now. The room was absolutely packed. The
Trump administration instituted this new policy where they're not just
relying on traditional media outlets like ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN,
(45:37):
Fox News. They're bringing in everybody, you know. So I
think the second question of the day went to Matt Boyle,
who is Breitbart's Washington DC correspondent, which is pretty awesome.
They're bringing in everybody. They're allowing independent content creators to
apply for White House media credentials. It's a great plan.
(46:00):
I give them enumply on the narrative to these fake
news outlets who do nothing and I mean it, nothing
but lie to the American people. The future is independent media.
The future is independent content creation. So the fact that
the Trump administration is empowering folks like this is a
(46:22):
great thing. But one of the very first things Carolyn
Levitt did on behalf of the president was tell the
American people what the hell is going on with these drones?
Speaker 8 (46:33):
After research and study, the drones that were flying over
New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown
by the FAA for research and various other reasons. Many
of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals
that enjoy flying jones.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
In meantime, in time.
Speaker 8 (46:54):
It got worse due to curiosity. This was not the enemy.
A statement from the President of the United States to
start this briefing with some news and with that I
will turn it over to question.
Speaker 1 (47:06):
I mean, so here's my thing with that. These were
these were federal companies companies that were doing tests. They
had to be these these drone tests had to be
approved by the federal government, by the Biden government. So
if Joe Biden and Biden and company knew about what
(47:32):
these drones were, then why in God's name didn't they
just tell the American people about what the drones were.
Why just let the American people wonder what the hell
is going on? And this is my point for all
the fake news out there covering the Trump White House
(47:53):
in a hostile way, because that is what you do.
That is all you know. You would prefer a White
House and the Biden administration who does nothing but lie
to you. And here you have Trump in his first
week has answered more questions than Biden has done in
four years. And oh, by the way, he's not lying
(48:13):
to you. You have a level of transparency that you
rarely ever have. And yet you're still doing the fake
news bullshit. These democrats don't care about you, They don't
care about how the American people feel about you. These
democrats lying to you and hoping that you'll carry water
for them. I mean, why do it? Why ruin your
(48:34):
own reputation. It's kind of unbelievable. A couple of other
things that I think you need to know about. Coming
out of the White House Press briefing, there was a
lot of talk about the Trump administration putting a temporary
freeze on federal grant payments, and the way that the
(48:56):
Democrats are handling this, and the way that their allies
and the METS or handling this is by saying, oh
my god, all of these entitlement programs like Snap and
Medicaid and all of these you know, food stamps, Trump
is freezing them. He's shutting them out. Oh my god,
Trump is evil. He doesn't care about all these people,
(49:17):
full stop. That's a lie. These programs do not affect
this freeze. I should say, this freeze on this federal
grant program has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement programs.
They're not a part of it. But that hasn't stopped
some in the media and some left wingers in Congress
(49:40):
to say that it has. But the reason why Trump
froze some of these programs is these government grants. I'm serious, folks,
fund some of the most ridiculous, left wing, insane shit
in the world. A lot of it isn't even isn't
even here in America and Patrick Casey put together this
awesome read on X about this very thing, and he said.
(50:04):
In twenty twenty one, the Biden administration gave five hundred
and forty thousand dollars to Transgender Equity Consulting, Inc. This
firm is comprised of six black and lateen X transgender
and non binary individuals, one of whom is apparently the
first BBW trans porn star. The Biden administration issued eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars in federal grants to a
(50:25):
left wing organization LGBTQI plus Family Support Program, which have
characterized as promoting gender ideology for the children of military families.
Half a million to behavioral health for the transgender community
in Hawaii. One point two million to the New Orleans
Community Support Foundation to adopt a holistic, adaptive water management
(50:45):
vision that centers the leadership of Black, Indigenous, and people
of color commit I mean, so, I'm just saying the
list goes on and on and on. Some of these
programs are insane. And Caroline Levitt said from the briefing
from the podium today that one of these federal grants
was for fifty million dollars in condoms for the people
(51:07):
of Gaza. I'm sorry, but these are this this, these
all represent an absurd waste of our taxpayer dollars. It
is some of the craziest spending in the world and
it has to stop. And by the way, it doesn't
align with the Trump agenda. It doesn't align with what
(51:32):
he wants to do. And the reason why that's important
is that he was elected with a mandate he's working
on behalf of us. I don't want my taxpayer dollars
to go to these insane programs. And by the way,
you know what, you know what the people in Gaza
do with those condoms. Hamas takes them and they turn
(51:54):
them into explosives. They use them in explosive making. So basically,
what the Biden administration is doing with the fifty million
dollar condom program is help arm Hamas to wage and
conduct attack on Israel. But absolutely insane. Other thing that
came out is Caitlin Collins, you gotta hear this the
(52:18):
premise of this insane question that she asked, seriously, just
that you don't hate the media enough. I'm surprised Caroline
Levitt handled this in the way that she did.
Speaker 11 (52:27):
Well, what happened on Friday night. The administration fired several
Inspectors general without giving Congress the thirty day legally required
notification that they were being fired. I think only two
were left Djslan DOJ. And then yesterday we saw several
prosecutors I believed twelve fire from the Justice Department who
worked on the investigations into the president. As you know,
(52:47):
they are career prosecutors. Therefore they are afforded civil service protections.
How is the administration deciding which laws to follow and
which ones to ignore?
Speaker 8 (52:57):
So it is the belief of this White House White
House Counsel's Office that the President was within his executive
authority to do that. He is the executive of the
executive branch, and therefore he has the power to fire
anyone within the executive branch that he wishes to. There's
also a case that would before the Supreme Court in
twenty twenty Scala Law llc versus the Customs the Bureau Protection.
(53:21):
I would advise you to look at that case. And
that's the legality that this White House was wrestling.
Speaker 1 (53:26):
So the question, Caitlin Collins's question, how do you decide
what laws you're going to follow? And what laws you
don't I would have said, are you freaking kidding? First
of all, I reject the premise of your question. But
the president is the chief executive of the executive brands.
If he wants to fire somebody, he can do that,
(53:48):
just like every Democrat president in the last twenty five
years has done that. Wouldn't have the patience to deal
with some of these people. Okay, before we got to
get to this, I've got to get to this. There's
a new Captain America movie coming out. I promise you,
I know the show's almost over. There's a new Captain
America movie coming out now. I've told you before. I
(54:11):
am a huge Superman and Captain America fan. Superman, truth,
justice in the American way. I loved everything he stood for.
Captain America the pinnacle of American optimism. He's he fights
for what he believes in, he stands for what's right.
I've always loved Captain America and all the things that
(54:32):
he's represented as a kid. Seriously, but the dude who
plays Captain America, now, I swear to God, Disney, you
keep hiring these actors who completely destroy a product once
it's been filmed. In the case of this Captain America
Brave New World film, I think Disney in Marvel invested
(54:52):
one hundred and eighty five million dollars in making it,
and the dude that plays Captain American out I gotta believe,
did real damage. He's gonna do real damage to box
office numbers with the crazy stuff that he says about
playing Captain America and who he represents.
Speaker 9 (55:07):
But listen, Captain America represents a lot of different things,
and I don't think the term, you know, America should
be one of those represents.
Speaker 1 (55:19):
He doesn't think that the term America should be something
that Captain America represents. His name is Captain America. For
the love of God. He represents American exceptionalism. He represents
(55:42):
everything that is good about this country. But the guy
who plays Captain America, now I think his name is
Anthony Mackie, doesn't believe that. Doesn't believe that. And so look,
I try to I can't. I can't help myself with
some of this stuff. Sometimes if these Disney executives just
realize you've tried out one actor or Okay, if this
(56:06):
dude that was playing Captain America said man, I get
to play Captain America. I get to wear red, white,
and blue spangly outfit represent the best country on the
face of the planet. Man, America is the best country
in the world. I guarant damn te you those numbers
at the box office would exceed all expectations in the
overall budget for the movie. After he said that, I
(56:30):
bet you they don't even break even. Now. I mean,
they might break even when you consider the global box
office with it, but I'm telling you, stuff just drives
me crazy. Okay, Now on to the rumble rant tips
Ultra Maga hard courses. Trump is probably going to be
saving me a ton of money this year, so only
right to pass them on. Thank you, Ultra Maga. As
(56:51):
you know, Ultra, you've been around, I think since my
very first show. One hundred percent of everything that you
give goes right back into the show to give you
a better quality of viewing experience. And thank you, my friend.
And yes, Salty Mama awesome name by the way, says
condoms for all in the press briefing room. Please don't reproduce, well,
(57:14):
what about the conservatives? You want the conservatives to reproduce?
Speaker 4 (57:17):
Right?
Speaker 1 (57:19):
We need more conservatives and g Fontes h G Fonts
as always, you're I don't think a salary should be
associated with his work on this project. G Fonte is
always a regular rumble rant tipper in the live chat. Folks,
Thank you all. You all are the best. Oh, smash
(57:40):
that like button, that little gray thumb beneath the video.
Smash it, turn it green because when you smash it,
it turns green. That helps us make the leader board.
We go for four hundred every single night, four hundred
rumbles every single night. If we hit that threshold, normally
we make the leaderboard. So it's nice. It's nice when
we do tomorrow. Guess what Savage Wednesday got Savage Rich
(58:04):
Barris already locked down for tomorrow. So tomorrow is gonna
be an awesome show. And I know many of you
all think, what flannel color am I gonna wear tonight?
Of course you're seeing, Well, it looks green on camera.
This is not green. This is a black plaid color,
a black flannel. Who knows what I'll wear tomorrow. But
in the wintertime, because it's freezing cold in this studio,
I wear flannel because it helps me get through the
(58:27):
show without sniffling too much. So as always folks, thank
you all for watching. God bless you all, and God
bless this amazing country that we call home. That's it
for Battleground Light, Battleground Live, take care, good night, and
I will see you tomorrow.
