Speaker 1 (00:00):
Greenland or bust a protest too far? And what one
congresswoman really thinks of the US tempers are flaring this
week and or did they really just say that clips.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker. This is news bite.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If there's such lily livered cowards they cannot follow the
power given to them in the Constitution as it relates
to war, then he's going to probably use military action,
and when he does, Americans are going to die in battle.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I feel violated, I feel interrupted, I feel angry.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
The one place where we thought we would never experience this.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Is the US goddamn states.
Speaker 7 (00:55):
That those goddamn states. Wow wow.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That is Minnesota Congresswoman Elan Omar and her idea of
I don't know comportment for a US congresswoman to be
honest hearing her say that, and maybe you think I'm
reacting or too reactionary to it. The word despicable I
think might apply to her. This is the well cut
(01:19):
cut fifteen.
Speaker 8 (01:20):
The one place.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Where we thought we would never experience this.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Is the US goddamn States.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah wow. You know when you realize in particular that
she is from originally the biggest hell hole on the
face of the earth, Somaya, where there is no rule
of law. There, you know, is no health care, there
is nothing. It is literally you're lucky to survive. And
(01:49):
she has the nerve to come to the United States,
which has given her everything, even though she's lied and
cheated her way in, and she says, it's goddamn States.
Speaker 9 (01:59):
I mean, I do wonder, and I just said that
obviously tongue in Chica looking fun at her. But I
wonder if somebody was giving a speech in America, you know,
in the Senate or the House or somewhere, or the President. Yeah,
and he referred to where she was from, which, as
you mentioned, as a hell hole, goddamn Somalia, she would
to lose her mind. How do you dare you not
(02:21):
show respect for other countries in this world?
Speaker 7 (02:23):
You jerk?
Speaker 9 (02:24):
And yet here she is in the country that she represents.
And listen, you can get mad at this country. Trust me,
there's plenty of reasons to get mad at this country,
and there have been for the whole two hundred and
fifty years we've been around. But please, first of all,
some decorum and respect. Given where you are and who
(02:44):
you are. You know you kind of expect that maybe
with a couple of YouTubers, maybe a couple of dudes
sitting around drinking beers on YouTube.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Going yeah, these goddamn the United States whatever. I mean,
take him a leave.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But that's a US Congress in the middle of a
congressional hearing, exactly.
Speaker 9 (03:02):
And that's the point is like, at least look you
can say, God, damn United States. You can be pissed
at the US.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Go ahead.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
I mean, even as an elected official. I'm sure there's
stuff to be pissed at, but come on, so little class.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, that seems to be something that she doesn't understand.
Maybe that's a Somalian thing. I don't know, but the
Democrats seem to be of the belief these days that
their job is to burn the house down, not just
you know, is to be inflammatory. That's what they're doing.
And she's not the only one. Former Obama ag Eric
(03:38):
Holder wants you to believe that the Trump administration wants
to bring back segregation cut seventeen.
Speaker 10 (03:46):
Mid decade jerry mandering attempts to design to disproportionately disenfranchise
black and brown voters as the president desperately clings to
power like an insecure dictator. There is a concerted effort
to resegregate America. But as dark as things may seem now,
(04:10):
we must remember that every generation has been similarly tested,
and each time Americans faced really a critical question. Do
we sit back and hope that help comes along, or
do we stand together and fight fight for what we
believe in.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So you want you to believe that the.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Ice roundups, that taking illegal aliens out of here has
to do with racism as opposed to illegality.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And he's not the only one. You've got.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Congressman Jim Clyburn of North Carolina one of the few
people that I can honestly say was probably responsible for
President Biden winning the winning his term in office, because
Clyburn threw his support behind him at the last minute.
He's says the GOP wants to bring back slavery Cut
eighteen A.
Speaker 11 (05:04):
I used to teach history, and I used to tell
my students all the time, anything that's happened before can
happen again. When that phone call was made, find me
eleven thousand, seven hundred and forty votes. When we saw
those people rapping on those windows up in Michigan trying
to set up separate such of electors. Same thing in Pennsylvania.
(05:29):
They were trying to set up a process that will
allow this country to return to what it was in
eighteen seventy six when the election got thrown into the
House of Representatives and they were able to overturn what
Abraham Lincoln and the Congress had done successfully getting rid
(05:51):
of slavery. That is what they're attempting to do today.
I get sick and tired of hearing people says it's
never been like this before.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yes, it has, Yeah, it has.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh my God.
Speaker 9 (06:03):
By the way, first, I hate to say this, God,
but when we were getting ready to play the cut
of Jim Clyburn, I looked and I saw that it
was from the View, and I knew, as soon as
I see somebody's on the view, ninety eight percent chance
they're going to say something that makes my head explode.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, I've got one for you. It isn't on the view,
but it might just make your head explode. This is
former First Lady Michelle Obama saying, don't buy your clothes
from white people, honest to God.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Twenty three A.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
If I hear of someone who's fashion that I like,
and I know that their person of color. I try
to make it a point, but the clothes have to
be available, you know. I think we can all do
some more to think about that balance in our wardrobes.
You know, what does our closet look like? And who's
in it? Who are we supporting in it? You know?
(06:57):
And I think, if you have the money to bush now,
then you have the money to buy everybody right, and
so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
Yeah, I hate to say this, Oh my god, maybe
I float in a different universe than the former First
Lady and her the people on the view, who obviously
make more money than I do, et cetera, et cetera,
because what you buy for clothes does have a good
deal to do with how much money you have to
buy clothes with. But I got to be honest with you.
I couldn't tell you any thing. And again I'm a
(07:31):
jerk and not a fashion icon, but I couldn't tell
you the color of anybody who made anything in my closet.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But this is her point, This is the point she's making.
She's making find out and she's not saying you have
to have money to do this. She's saying, buy clothes
from minority own clothing manufacturers. And there are clothes that
you can tell when you look at them, when you
see the names that you know, in fact are minority owned.
Whether it be Asian, whether it be African American, whether
(08:01):
it be Indian, you can tell usually and it doesn't
take much research into any clothing company to find out
who owns it. She's saying, whether you buy a ten
dollars T shirt or whether you buy a ten thousand
dollars dress, buy it from minority owned companies and not
from white people. That's what she's saying. So the Democrats
are essentially trying to bring back racism as a power
(08:24):
base as opposed to and they apparently have no compunction
whatsoever of destroying our country in the process by creating
such immense division and trying to make people believe that
things like enforcing federal law is a racist thing to do.
And that is, to use the same word I use
(08:47):
for Elano Moore, that is despicable.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
This maybe says more about me than it does about
anything else, especially.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
With the former first Lady.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
When I need a T shirt or a paira shoe
or a pair of pants, I go to the store,
I grab what I need, and I leave. So I
don't give a crap, And I shouldn't say she's saying.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
She's saying you should.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Well, I share, right, I guess I should listen.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't care either.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
I've got enough things to worry about in my life
that I just don't need to look. If I'm not
opposed to buying something from a minority owned business or
a minority owned clothing manufacturer, she.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Don't make it one of your criteria.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
And by the way, so does that mean that I
now need to also research where my fruits and vegetables
come from. What if that comes from a white orchard
instead of a black I want to.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Point out, by the way, that his first lady, one
of the things that Michelle Obama wore a lot of
was Jay Crew. They, in fact, you know, were some
of the people that did a lot of her her
work ware and so forth for when she was in office.
They're not a minority owned company. Just saying, you know,
put your money where your mouth is and stop telling
other people how to live their lives. And that's what
(09:57):
she's doing. But that's what democrats do. Nowhere is this
craziness more apparent these days or this past week even
than in Minnesota, where you have anti ice protesters basically attacking, uh,
the federal building there cut one bee as they're like
(10:49):
pushing old people.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Hellover.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Pushing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
They're yelling at federal law enforcement officers and calling them Nazis,
and and you heard them swearing. And it's not just
law enforcement. This was This is actually a funny story
unless it happened to you, and which case, a bunch
of five IT workers, Okay, they work in various places,
including Minneapolis, setting up applications and systems for businesses, not
(11:17):
for the federal government, by the way, for businesses, private businesses.
And they went out, they're working out a project in Minneapolis,
and they went out to launch at a deli. Well
there's five guys sitting at a table and somebody said
took their picture, put it online and said, hey, there's
ice agents here at the deli these five IT workers seriously.
So they get up there eating their lunch and they
(11:38):
head out and they are met by a flash mob
because it spread like wildfire between you know, Twitter, and hey,
come get these ice agents at this deli. And so
they come out and this is what they're faced with.
Cut number five.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
We do custom apps for a whole bunch of companies
are on Minnesota and.
Speaker 12 (11:59):
Why you like.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So here's a funny thing. Prior to this lunch, the
guy that you here talking going to look was actually.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Did not like ICE.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
He wasn't an activist, but you know, on his social
media whatever, he said, yeah, I don't think the ICE
agent should be rounding up these people. So he was
actually anti ICE until this happened to him, and until this.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Happened to him five A.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
This is.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
It's not.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
You guys are.
Speaker 13 (12:53):
Way you guys don't I don't support I'm decriving.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, so I mean he's just like, he didn't support
ICE until these people and he's like, the way you're behaving, no,
why would I support? I mean seriously, they were getting
in his face, they were being abusive. And these people
have nothing to do with ICE, nothing to do with
ICE or a law enforcet murder or anything above. There
are just a bunch of IT workers going out to lunch.
(13:22):
This is what's happening in.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
There's two things wrong there. Well there's probably a million
things wrong there, but there's two specific things in my head,
that are wrong. There one, obviously what happened. Here's a
bunch of just regular schmucks. It workers just to no
offensive ICE T workers in me to call them schmucks.
But they're just regular folk and they're.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Having lunch and schmucks too.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Well, fine, well that's true, and they're they're harassed, they're
by because somebody sent that a social media post or whatever.
That's the wrong part, which is obvious. We heard all
of that. The other thing that's wrong is even if
these were ICE agents or workers for ICE or federal workers,
they shouldn't be doxed and harassed and basically accosted at lunch.
(14:04):
So whether they were wrong they got the wrong people,
which they did, or if they'd gotten the right people,
which they didn't, it's still wrong. People are trying to
do their jobs. Leave them below. I mean, look, if
you don't like what they're doing, fine, hold you a
little protest over by the stairs, and hold your signs
and yell and scream and get bleeped out and all
that stuff. But either way, we shouldn't be doing this.
(14:27):
It's ridiculous to harass a person because of the job
they do. Could you imagine somebody hating radio, and every
day we have to freaking run through a gauntlet to
get to our cars because a bunch of people are
outside saying there's the radio people.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And what's making it worse is that the press is
getting in on the act and they're pretending to be journalists,
but what they are are activists. And there was just
an incredible example of that this week with a former
CNN anchor now podcaster Don Lemon. He was covering quote
(15:05):
covering the podcasts for the protests for his podcast, he says,
and he landed in Minneapolis and went directly to a
place where a protest was forming. I don't know how
he knew about it, unless, of course, he was talking
to the organizers and knew who they were and what they.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Were going to do.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
He was the organizer, Well.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'd have no idea, but he knew where these people
would be, and so he he landed and basically.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Told people that you know, hey.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'm going I'm coming in, and then he went with
them to a church. And apparently, unbeknownst to a lot
of people, they don't understand that freedom of religion, freedom
to worship as part of the First Amendment of the Constitution.
It is an inviable right. And I can't pronounce a word.
(15:55):
I have trouble with it all the time. I probably
I apologize and viable I guess.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
As Jillian Omar would say, it's a goddamn right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And so basically they went to this church and broke
up a church service. And this was a Don Lemon
covering that protest going into the church service. Cut three A.
Speaker 14 (16:16):
Hey, everyone has to be willing to sacrifice something.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
You have to make people uncomfortable in these times.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
If you see how.
Speaker 14 (16:22):
Uncomfortable people uncomfortably and how harsh people are being treated
on the streets, you have to be willing to go
into places and disrupt and make people uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Now, does he sound like a journalist to you or
does he sound like an activist to you talking about
you know, we have to make people uncomfortable. So that's
the big question. How about here while he is speaking
with one of the congregants, you tell me, does he
sound like he is an activist or does he sound
(16:56):
like he is a journalist? Cut one O eight A
A On.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
One side, who are people who watch a previous administration
bring twelve many people in over the course of four years,
and many of them were documented, many of them criminals, etc.
This is another administrations corrective. Now, whether you agree with
(17:22):
the policies or procedures, I think I could actually be
sympathetic to some of the things where there have been
challenges to estion them decent. At the same time, these
are what are called targeted interventions by ICE to keep
the American people safe.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So that's the parishioner, right, He's laying out how he
feels about these people coming into his church. And now
listen to how Don Lemon interacts with him.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Cut one of eight b also picking up the very
criminals that have put Americans in danger. And I'm not
saying it's pretty. I'm not saying it's not messy. I'm
not saying it could be it couldn't be better. I'm
saying this is a part of a much larger dialogue
in which one administration caused a great deal of chaos
(18:13):
and habit and danger for American citizens and another is
trying to correct that.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Do you believe that? Honestly? Let me tell you, just
on the journalist, I want to give you the facts.
No no, No, did you know that.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
People we're Americans commit far less crime than American citizens.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
We're done here, we're done here, work.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Than natural born american.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
Ll you not, you won't listen if you could ask,
you're giving you the fact.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
See, so he doesn't like the what he's hearing from
this guy, so he starts to browbeat him.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You will listen to me.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
That is not a journalist, That is an activist.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Well, for the person who say you're not a journalist,
I'm a journalist. By the way, one of the most
overused words now incorrectly because we have everybody with a
cell phone who thinks they're a journalist. A journalist is
different than just taking of pictures and talking to people
and being a well an activist at times. Yeah, but
even if you're not an activist, you're not necessarily a
(19:07):
journalist just because you have a cell phone.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Kids.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
No, no, And then here is Don Leman again. He's
talking to the pastor of the church, who's who he
was part of this group that went in and broke
up these services nineteen c.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
What do you think of this?
Speaker 15 (19:21):
I mean, this is unacceptable, it's shameful, it's shameful to
interrupt a public gathering.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Of Christians in worship. But there were folks. I have
to take care of my flow.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Listen, we live in there's a Constitution in the First
Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assembling protest.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
We're here to worship.
Speaker 13 (19:41):
We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of
these cities.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So I mean, so he jumps right in, well, what
about the First Amendment to this pastor what about freedom
of religion?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Don and then nineteen.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
B we're here.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here. Okay,
that's why we're here. Hopefully that's what we're about.
Speaker 15 (20:00):
Which you think Jesus would be understanding. Where about the
mode we're about us praying.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
The love of Jesus?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
But did you try to talk to them as a as.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
A firstone is willing to talk. Okay, I have to
take care of my church, about family.
Speaker 12 (20:12):
So I asked this.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
You actually would also leave this bold you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Want to.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Whip I'm always worship. I'm a Christian. We're here when
we're here to worship.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
We're here to worship.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I'm sure that I love.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
By the way, how Don Lemon used his First Amendment
rights to basically try to trample their First.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Amendment right, That's such a good point because that's exactly
what was happening. And now Don Lemon is under threat
with committing a federal crime. He's basically violating these people's
constitutional rights. And so now he's going, oh, no, no, no, no,
I am not a I am I'm I'm just a journalist.
I'm not an activist. And this was him. He posted
(20:51):
a Once you found out that he was under fire
for doing this, for getting into people's faces during a
a church service, he's backed off a little bit. This
is a video that he put up on social media.
Cut one oh six.
Speaker 15 (21:09):
Fake right wing propaganda news alert from this supposed right
angle news network, supposed network that I led a protest
into a church this morning in Minneapolis.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
That is complete bs.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
First of all, I had no idea who the organization
was until I arrived this morning.
Speaker 15 (21:26):
And number two, that's what every journalist should be doing.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Exactly what I did.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
What I did was was report, chronicle and commit an
act of journalism, which is shouldn't what every journalist should
be doing.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
That's what happened.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
So if you really want to know the truth about
what happened, why don't you check it out at the
Don Lemon Show on YouTube, on substack, and on Twitch
and follow us on any of our socials if you
really want to know the truth rather than getting some
right wing propaganda from a so called news network.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Now, yeah, so here's the thing you heard for your self.
How he interacted with people. Do you think he was
a journalist or do you think he was an activist
fomenting the protests? That is really what he's saying. He wasn't,
and I think his own words trapped him. Plus, he
knew exactly where these people were, He knew exactly where
they were going. And you know what he did. He
(22:19):
brought them Starbucks, coffee and donuts. Cut nineteen d.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
Get some coffee and doughnuts and donuts.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Talking about.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Donuts for you, I mean, seriously, what do you think
his his And then afterwards, now that you know the
wrath of a lot of people are falling on him,
including the federal government, the Department of Justice, he went
on on a podcast and blamed the people who were
in the church, calling them responsible for everything and calling
them are you ready for it? Just like Jim Clyburn,
(23:01):
just like Eric Holder calling them racists one oh five B.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
And there's a certain degree of entitlement. I think people
who are you know, in the religious groups like that.
It's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but
I think that they're entitled and that that entitlement comes
from a supremacy, a white supremacy, and they think that
this country was built for them, that it is a
Christian country, when actually we left England because we wanted
religious freedom. It's religious freedom, but only if you're a Christian,
(23:29):
and only if you're a white male pretty much. And
so yeah, I absolutely one hundred percent. But it's an
intimidation tactic. And you know, I said, I don't understand
how I've become the face of it when I was
a journalist. I do understand that I'm the biggest name there.
And I'm also as I was on with my producers
this morning, you know, you and Kylie talk all the time.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
My producers were.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Saying, I said, how did I become the face of this?
And my producers had done, you're a gay, black man
in America.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, that's why it wasn't because you got on people's
face and tried to bully them. But it wasn't because
you trampled all over their constitutional rights or lied about
knowing who these protesters were, where they were going, or
being part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Couldn't have been because of that.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
And by the way, when a group of a mob
of anybody, I don't care what they're doing it for.
But when a mob storms into a church, the mob
is not the victim.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
The parishioners aren't.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Like he talked about the parishoners that they're entitled to
sit in church and have a worship service.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
The idiot.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
And by the way, can we point out I thought
he didn't know who these people were, but all of
a sudden he knows that they're all white people and
white supremacist. I thought there was just he just happened
to be happened across. How would he know what makes
up the church, who is in the church, whether there's
a minority component of the church. How he know any
of that unless he was aware of who is in
the church before he went there.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
You know, I'm just saying, you know what, I'm almost
surprised about you if you think about all of the
incidents we've had of shootings, mass shootings, people storming into
churches and shooting people schools and shooting people. Whenever they're
storming and shooting people, usually it's one or two people,
it's not a mob of fifty. But you know, they're
(25:03):
lucky that there wasn't someone packing heat in that church
who thought that the church was being stormed by radical
whatevers and turned around and shot somebody in between the eyes,
because I mean, look, people are on edge these days
about a lot of things, ice apparently. But look, if
I'm sitting in a church and I just happen to
be packing heat because legally that's the Second Amendment.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
By the way, Dawn, if you're counting, if.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
I just happen to be sitting there and all of
a sudden, this mob of people come storming into my
church in the middle of prayers, I might be like, yeah,
we're gonna take this out before it takes us out.
So they're lucky that somebody there was an overreactive packing heat.
It could have been a problem, and I you know,
it's just look, there are places to protest, and we
(25:50):
allow protesting. In fact, you and I have talked about
it immensely, how we value protests. We're fine with people
with their opinions. But you cry lines and I don't know.
Look if Don Lemon, if Don Lemon is the fancy
journalist that he claims to be, he should know where
the lines are anyway, or at least have an idea
(26:11):
like close to where the lines are. Okay, normal smuck
from Minnesota maybe has no clue, but come on, I
mean this is you don't just start storming churches or
storming schools or storming anything. Really, there are ways to protest,
and you should protest if you're pissed. I may not
agree with what you're protesting. But and by the way,
(26:32):
just as an aside, here's the problem with the ice thing.
In the winter. It's so cold around here. I'm starting
to be.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Anti ice but not Okay, So I think what happened
to the church was so egregious that even Minneapolis Mayor
Jacob Frye, who is a left wing lunatic and he
is the one who said get the bleep out of
get the bleep out of Milwaukee, is distancing himself I
mean from Minneapolis. Yeah, is distancing himself from what happened
(27:03):
at the Saint Paul Church Cut one ten.
Speaker 13 (27:05):
Yeah, I can't speak for the church protest, and obviously
it doesn't take place in Minneapolis. What I can say is,
in Minneapolis, we've had tens of thousands of peaceful people,
peacefully protesting. It's been extraordinary to see neighbors stand behind neighbors,
people dropping off food, taking people that would otherwise be
(27:27):
concerned to get about getting ripped away from their family
to the grocery store. It's this incredible act over and
over again of love that we're seeing in Minneapolis. And
I got to tell you, I've never been prouder to
be from here.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I can also say active love is not something that
I've thought of in relation to Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
But you've got to be.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Bad to have may Or Fry say I want no
put piece of this. I want absolutely no piece of
that church thing.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
By the way, let's look at just real quickly, and
of course it's not over so that the bookends are
going to move, but let's look at the bookends of
this entire problem in Minnesota. Right, You've got on a
one hand, Don Lemonon is a gang of Mary makers
storming a church, which, of course I think most people
who aren't Don Lemon think it's a bad idea. But
(28:11):
on the front end of this thing, you got a
person who tried to run over an ICE agent who
sadly got killed. I mean, look, I'm not happy that
this woman died or got killed, but I'm also not
happy she drove a car at a ICE agent. So
the whole problem, all the stuff that happened in between
those two things wouldn't have happened if you didn't have
(28:33):
dumb and dumb on each side of this, these bookends
of this problem. So I mean, this isn't like it
just fell out of the sky. And I get it.
People hate ice and they probably would protest ice anyway,
if you know, without Miss Goood being dead. But it
started with someone trying to run over an ICE agent
(28:55):
and ended what hasn't ended. But of what we're talking
about with a storming a church on a Sunday, God
Bless America.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
True enough, trure enough, I think true wordser never spoken, Benjamin.
So meanwhile, President Trump has put paratroopers on alert to
possibly go into Minneapolis, but he's also been focused on
acquiring Greenland, where which is just infuriating Democrats. And he's
made it clear that he's not doing military action, that
(29:26):
his whole point. He wants to buy Greenland or make
them an offer they can't refuse. But this is infuriating
the Democrats, as if they don't already have enough to
be infuriated over, and they're now trying to make it
seem as if Americans are going to die if we
try to check if we try to acquire Greenland. This
is a Democrat. Senator Claren mccaskell on MS Cut twenty A.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I do think that our allies have a really important
decision to make. If the members of Congress are too
afraid to follow the Constitution, if they're too cowardly, if
there's such lily livered cowards they cannot follow the power
given to them in the Constitution as it relates to war,
then he's going to probably use military action, and when
(30:13):
he does, Americans are going to die in battle. And
then what happens. Really, a guy who said he wanted
to get out of foreign entanglements is going to take
American lives and lose them because he supposedly cares about
rare earth minerals.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
It is just this guy is out of control with
his narcissism and the fact that he's got this military
that is so damn good, but he's treating them like
a toy instead of human beings, and he is blemishing
our country on a world stage in a way it
will take decades to overcome.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
First of all, I don't think Donald Trump's won this
out of control. I think the Democratic Party is out
of control, including Senator McCaskill. Also, he's not sending the
military to Greenland. Never actually said that he would. That
was all a subtext that the Democrats put out there
because they want to say stop whenever Donald Trump says go.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
And this is crazy talk.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Basically, he wants to make a We have purchased territories
in our entire history, that's how we've acquired them, and
this Greenland is no different. But meanwhile, you know the
whole world order thing. And by the way, Donald Trump
is greeted with a great deal of respect by most
people on the world stage who take him at his
(31:34):
word because he's basically he's never bluffed. He has followed
through with everything he said he was going to follow
through with. But you still have some posturing like Canadian
Prime Minister Mark Carney, who you know, says, if you
know we are as part of NATO, and you know,
if in fact somebody impinges upon Greenland, then Article five,
(31:57):
which is the article that says any signator to the
treaty will come to the aid and defense of any
other signatory of the treaty. We will in fact stand
by Article five. That is cut twenty.
Speaker 16 (32:09):
The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and
for the Kingdom of Denmark. We are NATO partners with Denmark,
and so our full partnership stands. Our obligations on Article
five Article two of NATO stand and we stand fuller square.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Behind those and that, by the way, has to deal
with China as well and Russia competing on Greenland and
anybody on a military level. China and Russia have not
said they're not going to militarily go into Greenland, but
President Trump has said the US is not, as a
matter of fact. But this theme that the US is
(32:48):
going to take militarily take over Greenland keeps running through
the mainstream media and the Democratic Party because they're joined
their best to make Donald Trump seem unreasonable. And his
response is just to have just be done with these people.
Cut thirty seven.
Speaker 17 (33:02):
But I feel that Norway has tremendous control over who
gets to the Nobel Price. Despite what they said.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
How far are you willing to go to admire Greenland?
Speaker 17 (33:12):
You'll find out?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Now, I could have used that for a truth control.
To be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Do you think he's just poking the press, because that's
what I think he's doing.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Well, maybe a little bit. Here's here's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
When he said that you'll find out, that can be
taken in a number of ways. He didn't say anything
other than you'll find out he might want to play
chess with the Prime Minister of Denmark for Greenland. I mean,
if he wants to acquire it. He didn't say, I'm
going to blow the hell out of it. So you'll
find out. That's you could use. By the way, you
(33:45):
could use that as the answer to anything anybody asks
you about something. What are you having for lunch? You'll
find out? I mean, it's so it's you'll find out.
It's yeah, you'll find out.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I don't disagree.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
Now it's Trump and so I would guess that maybe
he was, you know, poking the bear a little bit.
But ask yourself any question today and answer it with
you'll find out and you'll see that it probably makes
perfect sense.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I think it probably does.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
So I did actually pick a different truth control to
end this week with. It is, of course Donald Trump,
because he is most of them, because he is the
master troller.
Speaker 17 (34:18):
Cut twenty nine Somalia, which is a terrible, terrible place
and other dangerous places. And we also stopped the pirates
because they get the same treatment as the drug boats.
So when Somalia there's Somalians. You know what they're good at.
That's about the only thing they're good at is they're
good at pirrating ships at Sae big ships. So you
(34:39):
have a huge oil tanker with millions of gallons, millions
of barrels of oil, and if it gets hit by
a big weapon, the whole thing blows up. And they
don't want to fight because if they do, they're told
by their insurance companies do not hand over the ship
and they're not allowed to have any guns on the ship.
That they literally you have these mess of ships being
(35:01):
taken over by a Somalian small boat with a big
weapon because if they hit the side of the ship.
The ship can blow up to I mean, you talk about.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
A blow up.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
So President Trump says that Somalis make admirable pirates, that's
what they're good at.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Does he mean it or is he.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Just Pokemalias poke Somalia.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Omar?
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Yeah, she weighed in on this. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Is that a big poke for elan Omara? That's what
I'm kind of thinking.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Yes, obviously elion Omar came here and she became a
member of Congress, so she's done more than hijack.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Well, she's a pirate.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I mean, given what she's she's now worth thirty billion dollars.
Where did that come from? So it's like our thirty
million dollars? I mean that's that seems to me like
a Somalian pirates been at work there.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
And and and it's more of an overarching.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
Indictment of Somalia than one individual person like Ilian Omark. Nonetheless,
I think he's serious. I think, look, name me five
big things that Somalia's done, and you probably can't. Well,
I certainly can't off the top of my head. And
that's not to demean Look, there are people in Somalia
I'm sure of find Americans find some Allians.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
But I think Prop was serious.
Speaker 9 (36:15):
He doesn't look there all we ever hear about of Somalians,
with the exception of Illian olmar Is high reckon ships.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, well, as I said before, and I think she
qualifies as a pirate. So I think there are a
lot of and if you look at fraud in Minnesota
as one big piracy, then there's a lot of Somalians
out there who could be qualified.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I think he's telling the truth.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
And this is also well, it's also not whether he's
right or not. I mean again, I'm sure there's plenty
of Somalians right.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
Well, this is about what his opinion is, what.
Speaker 9 (36:44):
His opinion is, and I think yeah, I think he
said exactly what his opinion.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I think he did too.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
And you guys who are listening can tell Ben and
I whether you agree with us or not. You can
contact us on x at at news by three or
on Facebook at news Bye. We upload a new episode
Reach Single Monday, so check back next week and see
what new offerings we have for you. Meanwhile, have a
great week and stay away from Somali pirates.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker, this is Newspipe,
Greenland or bust a protest too far? And what one
congresswoman really thinks of the US tempers are flaring this
week and or did they really just say that clips.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm Nancy Shack, I'm Ben Parker. This is news bite.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If there's such lily livered cowards they cannot follow the
power given to them in the Constitution as it relates
to war, then he's going to probably use military action,
and when he does, Americans are going to die in battle.
Speaker 4 (00:40):
I feel violated, I feel interrupted, I feel angry.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
The one place where we thought we would never experience this.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Is the US goddamn states.
Speaker 7 (00:55):
That those goddamn states. Wow wow.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
That is Minnesota Congresswoman Elan Omar and her idea of
I don't know comportment for a US congresswoman to be
honest hearing her say that, and maybe you think I'm
reacting or too reactionary to it. The word despicable I
think might apply to her. This is the well cut
(01:19):
cut fifteen.
Speaker 8 (01:20):
The one place.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Where we thought we would never experience this.
Speaker 6 (01:25):
Is the US goddamn States.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah wow. You know when you realize in particular that
she is from originally the biggest hell hole on the
face of the earth, Somaya, where there is no rule
of law. There, you know, is no health care, there
is nothing. It is literally you're lucky to survive. And
(01:49):
she has the nerve to come to the United States,
which has given her everything, even though she's lied and
cheated her way in, and she says, it's goddamn States.
Speaker 9 (01:59):
I mean, I do wonder, and I just said that
obviously tongue in Chica looking fun at her. But I
wonder if somebody was giving a speech in America, you know,
in the Senate or the House or somewhere, or the President. Yeah,
and he referred to where she was from, which, as
you mentioned, as a hell hole, goddamn Somalia, she would
to lose her mind. How do you dare you not
(02:21):
show respect for other countries in this world?
Speaker 7 (02:23):
You jerk?
Speaker 9 (02:24):
And yet here she is in the country that she represents.
And listen, you can get mad at this country. Trust me,
there's plenty of reasons to get mad at this country,
and there have been for the whole two hundred and
fifty years we've been around. But please, first of all,
some decorum and respect. Given where you are and who
(02:44):
you are. You know you kind of expect that maybe
with a couple of YouTubers, maybe a couple of dudes
sitting around drinking beers on YouTube.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
Going yeah, these goddamn the United States whatever. I mean,
take him a leave.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
But that's a US Congress in the middle of a
congressional hearing, exactly.
Speaker 9 (03:02):
And that's the point is like, at least look you
can say, God, damn United States. You can be pissed
at the US.
Speaker 7 (03:08):
Go ahead.
Speaker 9 (03:08):
I mean, even as an elected official. I'm sure there's
stuff to be pissed at, but come on, so little class.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, that seems to be something that she doesn't understand.
Maybe that's a Somalian thing. I don't know, but the
Democrats seem to be of the belief these days that
their job is to burn the house down, not just
you know, is to be inflammatory. That's what they're doing.
And she's not the only one. Former Obama ag Eric
(03:38):
Holder wants you to believe that the Trump administration wants
to bring back segregation cut seventeen.
Speaker 10 (03:46):
Mid decade jerry mandering attempts to design to disproportionately disenfranchise
black and brown voters as the president desperately clings to
power like an insecure dictator. There is a concerted effort
to resegregate America. But as dark as things may seem now,
(04:10):
we must remember that every generation has been similarly tested,
and each time Americans faced really a critical question. Do
we sit back and hope that help comes along, or
do we stand together and fight fight for what we
believe in.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
So you want you to believe that the.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Ice roundups, that taking illegal aliens out of here has
to do with racism as opposed to illegality.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
And he's not the only one. You've got.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Congressman Jim Clyburn of North Carolina one of the few
people that I can honestly say was probably responsible for
President Biden winning the winning his term in office, because
Clyburn threw his support behind him at the last minute.
He's says the GOP wants to bring back slavery Cut
eighteen A.
Speaker 11 (05:04):
I used to teach history, and I used to tell
my students all the time, anything that's happened before can
happen again. When that phone call was made, find me
eleven thousand, seven hundred and forty votes. When we saw
those people rapping on those windows up in Michigan trying
to set up separate such of electors. Same thing in Pennsylvania.
(05:29):
They were trying to set up a process that will
allow this country to return to what it was in
eighteen seventy six when the election got thrown into the
House of Representatives and they were able to overturn what
Abraham Lincoln and the Congress had done successfully getting rid
(05:51):
of slavery. That is what they're attempting to do today.
I get sick and tired of hearing people says it's
never been like this before.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
Yes, it has, Yeah, it has.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Oh my God.
Speaker 9 (06:03):
By the way, first, I hate to say this, God,
but when we were getting ready to play the cut
of Jim Clyburn, I looked and I saw that it
was from the View, and I knew, as soon as
I see somebody's on the view, ninety eight percent chance
they're going to say something that makes my head explode.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Well, I've got one for you. It isn't on the view,
but it might just make your head explode. This is
former First Lady Michelle Obama saying, don't buy your clothes
from white people, honest to God.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Twenty three A.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
If I hear of someone who's fashion that I like,
and I know that their person of color. I try
to make it a point, but the clothes have to
be available, you know. I think we can all do
some more to think about that balance in our wardrobes.
You know, what does our closet look like? And who's
in it? Who are we supporting in it? You know?
(06:57):
And I think, if you have the money to bush now,
then you have the money to buy everybody right, and
so let us be mindful, I think would be my advice.
Speaker 9 (07:09):
Yeah, I hate to say this, Oh my god, maybe
I float in a different universe than the former First
Lady and her the people on the view, who obviously
make more money than I do, et cetera, et cetera,
because what you buy for clothes does have a good
deal to do with how much money you have to
buy clothes with. But I got to be honest with you.
I couldn't tell you any thing. And again I'm a
(07:31):
jerk and not a fashion icon, but I couldn't tell
you the color of anybody who made anything in my closet.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
But this is her point, This is the point she's making.
She's making find out and she's not saying you have
to have money to do this. She's saying, buy clothes
from minority own clothing manufacturers. And there are clothes that
you can tell when you look at them, when you
see the names that you know, in fact are minority owned.
Whether it be Asian, whether it be African American, whether
(08:01):
it be Indian, you can tell usually and it doesn't
take much research into any clothing company to find out
who owns it. She's saying, whether you buy a ten
dollars T shirt or whether you buy a ten thousand
dollars dress, buy it from minority owned companies and not
from white people. That's what she's saying. So the Democrats
are essentially trying to bring back racism as a power
(08:24):
base as opposed to and they apparently have no compunction
whatsoever of destroying our country in the process by creating
such immense division and trying to make people believe that
things like enforcing federal law is a racist thing to do.
And that is, to use the same word I use
(08:47):
for Elano Moore, that is despicable.
Speaker 9 (08:50):
This maybe says more about me than it does about
anything else, especially.
Speaker 7 (08:55):
With the former first Lady.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
When I need a T shirt or a paira shoe
or a pair of pants, I go to the store,
I grab what I need, and I leave. So I
don't give a crap, And I shouldn't say she's saying.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
She's saying you should.
Speaker 7 (09:08):
Well, I share, right, I guess I should listen.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
I don't care either.
Speaker 9 (09:11):
I've got enough things to worry about in my life
that I just don't need to look. If I'm not
opposed to buying something from a minority owned business or
a minority owned clothing manufacturer, she.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Don't make it one of your criteria.
Speaker 9 (09:26):
And by the way, so does that mean that I
now need to also research where my fruits and vegetables
come from. What if that comes from a white orchard
instead of a black I want to.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Point out, by the way, that his first lady, one
of the things that Michelle Obama wore a lot of
was Jay Crew. They, in fact, you know, were some
of the people that did a lot of her her
work ware and so forth for when she was in office.
They're not a minority owned company. Just saying, you know,
put your money where your mouth is and stop telling
other people how to live their lives. And that's what
(09:57):
she's doing. But that's what democrats do. Nowhere is this
craziness more apparent these days or this past week even
than in Minnesota, where you have anti ice protesters basically attacking, uh,
the federal building there cut one bee as they're like
(10:49):
pushing old people.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Hellover.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
Pushing.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
They're yelling at federal law enforcement officers and calling them Nazis,
and and you heard them swearing. And it's not just
law enforcement. This was This is actually a funny story
unless it happened to you, and which case, a bunch
of five IT workers, Okay, they work in various places,
including Minneapolis, setting up applications and systems for businesses, not
(11:17):
for the federal government, by the way, for businesses, private businesses.
And they went out, they're working out a project in Minneapolis,
and they went out to launch at a deli. Well
there's five guys sitting at a table and somebody said
took their picture, put it online and said, hey, there's
ice agents here at the deli these five IT workers seriously.
So they get up there eating their lunch and they
(11:38):
head out and they are met by a flash mob
because it spread like wildfire between you know, Twitter, and hey,
come get these ice agents at this deli. And so
they come out and this is what they're faced with.
Cut number five.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
We do custom apps for a whole bunch of companies
are on Minnesota and.
Speaker 12 (11:59):
Why you like.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
So here's a funny thing. Prior to this lunch, the
guy that you here talking going to look was actually.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Did not like ICE.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
He wasn't an activist, but you know, on his social
media whatever, he said, yeah, I don't think the ICE
agent should be rounding up these people. So he was
actually anti ICE until this happened to him, and until this.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Happened to him five A.
Speaker 8 (12:39):
This is.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
It's not.
Speaker 7 (12:50):
You guys are.
Speaker 13 (12:53):
Way you guys don't I don't support I'm decriving.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
Yeah, so I mean he's just like, he didn't support
ICE until these people and he's like, the way you're behaving, no,
why would I support? I mean seriously, they were getting
in his face, they were being abusive. And these people
have nothing to do with ICE, nothing to do with
ICE or a law enforcet murder or anything above. There
are just a bunch of IT workers going out to lunch.
(13:22):
This is what's happening in.
Speaker 9 (13:23):
There's two things wrong there. Well there's probably a million
things wrong there, but there's two specific things in my head,
that are wrong. There one, obviously what happened. Here's a
bunch of just regular schmucks. It workers just to no
offensive ICE T workers in me to call them schmucks.
But they're just regular folk and they're.
Speaker 7 (13:38):
Having lunch and schmucks too.
Speaker 9 (13:39):
Well, fine, well that's true, and they're they're harassed, they're
by because somebody sent that a social media post or whatever.
That's the wrong part, which is obvious. We heard all
of that. The other thing that's wrong is even if
these were ICE agents or workers for ICE or federal workers,
they shouldn't be doxed and harassed and basically accosted at lunch.
(14:04):
So whether they were wrong they got the wrong people,
which they did, or if they'd gotten the right people,
which they didn't, it's still wrong. People are trying to
do their jobs. Leave them below. I mean, look, if
you don't like what they're doing, fine, hold you a
little protest over by the stairs, and hold your signs
and yell and scream and get bleeped out and all
that stuff. But either way, we shouldn't be doing this.
(14:27):
It's ridiculous to harass a person because of the job
they do. Could you imagine somebody hating radio, and every
day we have to freaking run through a gauntlet to
get to our cars because a bunch of people are
outside saying there's the radio people.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
Ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
And what's making it worse is that the press is
getting in on the act and they're pretending to be journalists,
but what they are are activists. And there was just
an incredible example of that this week with a former
CNN anchor now podcaster Don Lemon. He was covering quote
(15:05):
covering the podcasts for the protests for his podcast, he says,
and he landed in Minneapolis and went directly to a
place where a protest was forming. I don't know how
he knew about it, unless, of course, he was talking
to the organizers and knew who they were and what they.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Were going to do.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
He was the organizer, Well.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I'd have no idea, but he knew where these people
would be, and so he he landed and basically.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Told people that you know, hey.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
I'm going I'm coming in, and then he went with
them to a church. And apparently, unbeknownst to a lot
of people, they don't understand that freedom of religion, freedom
to worship as part of the First Amendment of the Constitution.
It is an inviable right. And I can't pronounce a word.
(15:55):
I have trouble with it all the time. I probably
I apologize and viable I guess.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
As Jillian Omar would say, it's a goddamn right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
And so basically they went to this church and broke
up a church service. And this was a Don Lemon
covering that protest going into the church service. Cut three A.
Speaker 14 (16:16):
Hey, everyone has to be willing to sacrifice something.
Speaker 8 (16:19):
You have to make people uncomfortable in these times.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
If you see how.
Speaker 14 (16:22):
Uncomfortable people uncomfortably and how harsh people are being treated
on the streets, you have to be willing to go
into places and disrupt and make people uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Now, does he sound like a journalist to you or
does he sound like an activist to you talking about
you know, we have to make people uncomfortable. So that's
the big question. How about here while he is speaking
with one of the congregants, you tell me, does he
sound like he is an activist or does he sound
(16:56):
like he is a journalist? Cut one O eight A
A On.
Speaker 4 (17:01):
One side, who are people who watch a previous administration
bring twelve many people in over the course of four years,
and many of them were documented, many of them criminals, etc.
This is another administrations corrective. Now, whether you agree with
(17:22):
the policies or procedures, I think I could actually be
sympathetic to some of the things where there have been
challenges to estion them decent. At the same time, these
are what are called targeted interventions by ICE to keep
the American people safe.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So that's the parishioner, right, He's laying out how he
feels about these people coming into his church. And now
listen to how Don Lemon interacts with him.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Cut one of eight b also picking up the very
criminals that have put Americans in danger. And I'm not
saying it's pretty. I'm not saying it's not messy. I'm
not saying it could be it couldn't be better. I'm
saying this is a part of a much larger dialogue
in which one administration caused a great deal of chaos
(18:13):
and habit and danger for American citizens and another is
trying to correct that.
Speaker 7 (18:18):
Do you believe that? Honestly? Let me tell you, just
on the journalist, I want to give you the facts.
No no, No, did you know that.
Speaker 8 (18:26):
People we're Americans commit far less crime than American citizens.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
We're done here, we're done here, work.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Than natural born american.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
Ll you not, you won't listen if you could ask,
you're giving you the fact.
Speaker 7 (18:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
See, so he doesn't like the what he's hearing from
this guy, so he starts to browbeat him.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
You will listen to me.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
That is not a journalist, That is an activist.
Speaker 9 (18:45):
Well, for the person who say you're not a journalist,
I'm a journalist. By the way, one of the most
overused words now incorrectly because we have everybody with a
cell phone who thinks they're a journalist. A journalist is
different than just taking of pictures and talking to people
and being a well an activist at times. Yeah, but
even if you're not an activist, you're not necessarily a
(19:07):
journalist just because you have a cell phone.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
Kids.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
No, no, And then here is Don Leman again. He's
talking to the pastor of the church, who's who he
was part of this group that went in and broke
up these services nineteen c.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
What do you think of this?
Speaker 15 (19:21):
I mean, this is unacceptable, it's shameful, it's shameful to
interrupt a public gathering.
Speaker 7 (19:27):
Of Christians in worship. But there were folks. I have
to take care of my flow.
Speaker 6 (19:34):
Listen, we live in there's a Constitution in the First
Amendment to freedom of speech and freedom to assembling protest.
Speaker 7 (19:40):
We're here to worship.
Speaker 13 (19:41):
We're here to worship Jesus because that's the hope of
these cities.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
That's the hope of the world is Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
So I mean, so he jumps right in, well, what
about the First Amendment to this pastor what about freedom
of religion?
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Don and then nineteen.
Speaker 13 (19:54):
B we're here.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
We're here to worship Jesus. That's why we're here. Okay,
that's why we're here. Hopefully that's what we're about.
Speaker 15 (20:00):
Which you think Jesus would be understanding. Where about the
mode we're about us praying.
Speaker 7 (20:05):
The love of Jesus?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
But did you try to talk to them as a as.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
A firstone is willing to talk. Okay, I have to
take care of my church, about family.
Speaker 12 (20:12):
So I asked this.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
You actually would also leave this bold you don't.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
Want to.
Speaker 7 (20:17):
Whip I'm always worship. I'm a Christian. We're here when
we're here to worship.
Speaker 6 (20:20):
We're here to worship.
Speaker 8 (20:21):
Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 7 (20:22):
I'm sure that I love.
Speaker 9 (20:24):
By the way, how Don Lemon used his First Amendment
rights to basically try to trample their First.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Amendment right, That's such a good point because that's exactly
what was happening. And now Don Lemon is under threat
with committing a federal crime. He's basically violating these people's
constitutional rights. And so now he's going, oh, no, no, no, no,
I am not a I am I'm I'm just a journalist.
I'm not an activist. And this was him. He posted
(20:51):
a Once you found out that he was under fire
for doing this, for getting into people's faces during a
a church service, he's backed off a little bit. This
is a video that he put up on social media.
Cut one oh six.
Speaker 15 (21:09):
Fake right wing propaganda news alert from this supposed right
angle news network, supposed network that I led a protest
into a church this morning in Minneapolis.
Speaker 7 (21:20):
That is complete bs.
Speaker 8 (21:22):
First of all, I had no idea who the organization
was until I arrived this morning.
Speaker 15 (21:26):
And number two, that's what every journalist should be doing.
Speaker 11 (21:30):
Exactly what I did.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
What I did was was report, chronicle and commit an
act of journalism, which is shouldn't what every journalist should
be doing.
Speaker 7 (21:39):
That's what happened.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
So if you really want to know the truth about
what happened, why don't you check it out at the
Don Lemon Show on YouTube, on substack, and on Twitch
and follow us on any of our socials if you
really want to know the truth rather than getting some
right wing propaganda from a so called news network.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Now, yeah, so here's the thing you heard for your self.
How he interacted with people. Do you think he was
a journalist or do you think he was an activist
fomenting the protests? That is really what he's saying. He wasn't,
and I think his own words trapped him. Plus, he
knew exactly where these people were, He knew exactly where
they were going. And you know what he did. He
(22:19):
brought them Starbucks, coffee and donuts. Cut nineteen d.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
Get some coffee and doughnuts and donuts.
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Talking about.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Donuts for you, I mean, seriously, what do you think
his his And then afterwards, now that you know the
wrath of a lot of people are falling on him,
including the federal government, the Department of Justice, he went
on on a podcast and blamed the people who were
in the church, calling them responsible for everything and calling
them are you ready for it? Just like Jim Clyburn,
(23:01):
just like Eric Holder calling them racists one oh five B.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
And there's a certain degree of entitlement. I think people
who are you know, in the religious groups like that.
It's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but
I think that they're entitled and that that entitlement comes
from a supremacy, a white supremacy, and they think that
this country was built for them, that it is a
Christian country, when actually we left England because we wanted
religious freedom. It's religious freedom, but only if you're a Christian,
(23:29):
and only if you're a white male pretty much. And
so yeah, I absolutely one hundred percent. But it's an
intimidation tactic. And you know, I said, I don't understand
how I've become the face of it when I was
a journalist. I do understand that I'm the biggest name there.
And I'm also as I was on with my producers
this morning, you know, you and Kylie talk all the time.
Speaker 7 (23:46):
My producers were.
Speaker 8 (23:47):
Saying, I said, how did I become the face of this?
And my producers had done, you're a gay, black man
in America.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, that's why it wasn't because you got on people's
face and tried to bully them. But it wasn't because
you trampled all over their constitutional rights or lied about
knowing who these protesters were, where they were going, or
being part of it.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Couldn't have been because of that.
Speaker 9 (24:04):
And by the way, when a group of a mob
of anybody, I don't care what they're doing it for.
But when a mob storms into a church, the mob
is not the victim.
Speaker 7 (24:14):
The parishioners aren't.
Speaker 9 (24:16):
Like he talked about the parishoners that they're entitled to
sit in church and have a worship service.
Speaker 7 (24:22):
The idiot.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
And by the way, can we point out I thought
he didn't know who these people were, but all of
a sudden he knows that they're all white people and
white supremacist. I thought there was just he just happened
to be happened across. How would he know what makes
up the church, who is in the church, whether there's
a minority component of the church. How he know any
of that unless he was aware of who is in
the church before he went there.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
You know, I'm just saying, you know what, I'm almost
surprised about you if you think about all of the
incidents we've had of shootings, mass shootings, people storming into
churches and shooting people schools and shooting people. Whenever they're
storming and shooting people, usually it's one or two people,
it's not a mob of fifty. But you know, they're
(25:03):
lucky that there wasn't someone packing heat in that church
who thought that the church was being stormed by radical
whatevers and turned around and shot somebody in between the eyes,
because I mean, look, people are on edge these days
about a lot of things, ice apparently. But look, if
I'm sitting in a church and I just happen to
be packing heat because legally that's the Second Amendment.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
By the way, Dawn, if you're counting, if.
Speaker 9 (25:27):
I just happen to be sitting there and all of
a sudden, this mob of people come storming into my
church in the middle of prayers, I might be like, yeah,
we're gonna take this out before it takes us out.
So they're lucky that somebody there was an overreactive packing heat.
It could have been a problem, and I you know,
it's just look, there are places to protest, and we
(25:50):
allow protesting. In fact, you and I have talked about
it immensely, how we value protests. We're fine with people
with their opinions. But you cry lines and I don't know.
Look if Don Lemon, if Don Lemon is the fancy
journalist that he claims to be, he should know where
the lines are anyway, or at least have an idea
(26:11):
like close to where the lines are. Okay, normal smuck
from Minnesota maybe has no clue, but come on, I
mean this is you don't just start storming churches or
storming schools or storming anything. Really, there are ways to protest,
and you should protest if you're pissed. I may not
agree with what you're protesting. But and by the way,
(26:32):
just as an aside, here's the problem with the ice thing.
In the winter. It's so cold around here. I'm starting
to be.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Anti ice but not Okay, So I think what happened
to the church was so egregious that even Minneapolis Mayor
Jacob Frye, who is a left wing lunatic and he
is the one who said get the bleep out of
get the bleep out of Milwaukee, is distancing himself I
mean from Minneapolis. Yeah, is distancing himself from what happened
(27:03):
at the Saint Paul Church Cut one ten.
Speaker 13 (27:05):
Yeah, I can't speak for the church protest, and obviously
it doesn't take place in Minneapolis. What I can say is,
in Minneapolis, we've had tens of thousands of peaceful people,
peacefully protesting. It's been extraordinary to see neighbors stand behind neighbors,
people dropping off food, taking people that would otherwise be
(27:27):
concerned to get about getting ripped away from their family
to the grocery store. It's this incredible act over and
over again of love that we're seeing in Minneapolis. And
I got to tell you, I've never been prouder to
be from here.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I can also say active love is not something that
I've thought of in relation to Minneapolis.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
But you've got to be.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Bad to have may Or Fry say I want no
put piece of this. I want absolutely no piece of
that church thing.
Speaker 9 (27:51):
By the way, let's look at just real quickly, and
of course it's not over so that the bookends are
going to move, but let's look at the bookends of
this entire problem in Minnesota. Right, You've got on a
one hand, Don Lemonon is a gang of Mary makers
storming a church, which, of course I think most people
who aren't Don Lemon think it's a bad idea. But
(28:11):
on the front end of this thing, you got a
person who tried to run over an ICE agent who
sadly got killed. I mean, look, I'm not happy that
this woman died or got killed, but I'm also not
happy she drove a car at a ICE agent. So
the whole problem, all the stuff that happened in between
those two things wouldn't have happened if you didn't have
(28:33):
dumb and dumb on each side of this, these bookends
of this problem. So I mean, this isn't like it
just fell out of the sky. And I get it.
People hate ice and they probably would protest ice anyway,
if you know, without Miss Goood being dead. But it
started with someone trying to run over an ICE agent
(28:55):
and ended what hasn't ended. But of what we're talking
about with a storming a church on a Sunday, God
Bless America.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
True enough, trure enough, I think true wordser never spoken, Benjamin.
So meanwhile, President Trump has put paratroopers on alert to
possibly go into Minneapolis, but he's also been focused on
acquiring Greenland, where which is just infuriating Democrats. And he's
made it clear that he's not doing military action, that
(29:26):
his whole point. He wants to buy Greenland or make
them an offer they can't refuse. But this is infuriating
the Democrats, as if they don't already have enough to
be infuriated over, and they're now trying to make it
seem as if Americans are going to die if we
try to check if we try to acquire Greenland. This
is a Democrat. Senator Claren mccaskell on MS Cut twenty A.
Speaker 3 (29:51):
I do think that our allies have a really important
decision to make. If the members of Congress are too
afraid to follow the Constitution, if they're too cowardly, if
there's such lily livered cowards they cannot follow the power
given to them in the Constitution as it relates to war,
then he's going to probably use military action, and when
(30:13):
he does, Americans are going to die in battle. And
then what happens. Really, a guy who said he wanted
to get out of foreign entanglements is going to take
American lives and lose them because he supposedly cares about
rare earth minerals.
Speaker 14 (30:30):
You know.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
It is just this guy is out of control with
his narcissism and the fact that he's got this military
that is so damn good, but he's treating them like
a toy instead of human beings, and he is blemishing
our country on a world stage in a way it
will take decades to overcome.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
First of all, I don't think Donald Trump's won this
out of control. I think the Democratic Party is out
of control, including Senator McCaskill. Also, he's not sending the
military to Greenland. Never actually said that he would. That
was all a subtext that the Democrats put out there
because they want to say stop whenever Donald Trump says go.
Speaker 2 (31:11):
And this is crazy talk.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Basically, he wants to make a We have purchased territories
in our entire history, that's how we've acquired them, and
this Greenland is no different. But meanwhile, you know the
whole world order thing. And by the way, Donald Trump
is greeted with a great deal of respect by most
people on the world stage who take him at his
(31:34):
word because he's basically he's never bluffed. He has followed
through with everything he said he was going to follow
through with. But you still have some posturing like Canadian
Prime Minister Mark Carney, who you know, says, if you
know we are as part of NATO, and you know,
if in fact somebody impinges upon Greenland, then Article five,
(31:57):
which is the article that says any signator to the
treaty will come to the aid and defense of any
other signatory of the treaty. We will in fact stand
by Article five. That is cut twenty.
Speaker 16 (32:09):
The future of Greenland is a decision for Greenland and
for the Kingdom of Denmark. We are NATO partners with Denmark,
and so our full partnership stands. Our obligations on Article
five Article two of NATO stand and we stand fuller square.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Behind those and that, by the way, has to deal
with China as well and Russia competing on Greenland and
anybody on a military level. China and Russia have not
said they're not going to militarily go into Greenland, but
President Trump has said the US is not, as a
matter of fact. But this theme that the US is
(32:48):
going to take militarily take over Greenland keeps running through
the mainstream media and the Democratic Party because they're joined
their best to make Donald Trump seem unreasonable. And his
response is just to have just be done with these people.
Cut thirty seven.
Speaker 17 (33:02):
But I feel that Norway has tremendous control over who
gets to the Nobel Price. Despite what they said.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
How far are you willing to go to admire Greenland?
Speaker 17 (33:12):
You'll find out?
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Now, I could have used that for a truth control.
To be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
Do you think he's just poking the press, because that's
what I think he's doing.
Speaker 7 (33:22):
Well, maybe a little bit. Here's here's what I'm thinking.
Speaker 9 (33:24):
When he said that you'll find out, that can be
taken in a number of ways. He didn't say anything
other than you'll find out he might want to play
chess with the Prime Minister of Denmark for Greenland. I mean,
if he wants to acquire it. He didn't say, I'm
going to blow the hell out of it. So you'll
find out. That's you could use. By the way, you
(33:45):
could use that as the answer to anything anybody asks
you about something. What are you having for lunch? You'll
find out? I mean, it's so it's you'll find out.
It's yeah, you'll find out.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
I don't disagree.
Speaker 9 (33:54):
Now it's Trump and so I would guess that maybe
he was, you know, poking the bear a little bit.
But ask yourself any question today and answer it with
you'll find out and you'll see that it probably makes
perfect sense.
Speaker 2 (34:07):
I think it probably does.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
So I did actually pick a different truth control to
end this week with. It is, of course Donald Trump,
because he is most of them, because he is the
master troller.
Speaker 17 (34:18):
Cut twenty nine Somalia, which is a terrible, terrible place
and other dangerous places. And we also stopped the pirates
because they get the same treatment as the drug boats.
So when Somalia there's Somalians. You know what they're good at.
That's about the only thing they're good at is they're
good at pirrating ships at Sae big ships. So you
(34:39):
have a huge oil tanker with millions of gallons, millions
of barrels of oil, and if it gets hit by
a big weapon, the whole thing blows up. And they
don't want to fight because if they do, they're told
by their insurance companies do not hand over the ship
and they're not allowed to have any guns on the ship.
That they literally you have these mess of ships being
(35:01):
taken over by a Somalian small boat with a big
weapon because if they hit the side of the ship.
The ship can blow up to I mean, you talk about.
Speaker 7 (35:08):
A blow up.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
So President Trump says that Somalis make admirable pirates, that's
what they're good at.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Does he mean it or is he.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Just Pokemalias poke Somalia.
Speaker 3 (35:24):
Omar?
Speaker 7 (35:24):
Yeah, she weighed in on this. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Is that a big poke for elan Omara? That's what
I'm kind of thinking.
Speaker 7 (35:30):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (35:32):
Yes, obviously elion Omar came here and she became a
member of Congress, so she's done more than hijack.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
Well, she's a pirate.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I mean, given what she's she's now worth thirty billion dollars.
Where did that come from? So it's like our thirty
million dollars? I mean that's that seems to me like
a Somalian pirates been at work there.
Speaker 7 (35:48):
And and and it's more of an overarching.
Speaker 9 (35:53):
Indictment of Somalia than one individual person like Ilian Omark. Nonetheless,
I think he's serious. I think, look, name me five
big things that Somalia's done, and you probably can't. Well,
I certainly can't off the top of my head. And
that's not to demean Look, there are people in Somalia
I'm sure of find Americans find some Allians.
Speaker 7 (36:14):
But I think Prop was serious.
Speaker 9 (36:15):
He doesn't look there all we ever hear about of Somalians,
with the exception of Illian olmar Is high reckon ships.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Yeah, well, as I said before, and I think she
qualifies as a pirate. So I think there are a
lot of and if you look at fraud in Minnesota
as one big piracy, then there's a lot of Somalians
out there who could be qualified.
Speaker 2 (36:35):
I think you're right.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I think he's telling the truth.
Speaker 9 (36:37):
And this is also well, it's also not whether he's
right or not. I mean again, I'm sure there's plenty
of Somalians right.
Speaker 7 (36:43):
Well, this is about what his opinion is, what.
Speaker 9 (36:44):
His opinion is, and I think yeah, I think he
said exactly what his opinion.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
I think he did too.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
