Speaker 1 (00:00):
La Riots.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
Trump responds, and the Democrats try to gas line America
that's in a nutshell with our Did they really just
say that moments from this week?

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm Nancy Shack, I've Ben Parker.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
This is newspite breath.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
All of.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
What's going to change. This is organizing. They're not just
any type of organizing. Organizing.

Speaker 5 (00:39):
Well, we're gonna have troops everywhere.

Speaker 6 (00:40):
We're not going to let this happen to our country.
We're not going to let our countries begnor to.

Speaker 7 (00:44):
Part like it was a divide, because I mean, if
we see danger to our country and to our citizens,
it will be very very strong in terms of law
and order.

Speaker 8 (00:52):
It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement
in there and the wrong way and turn what is
just a bunch of people having fun while watching cars
burn into a massive confrontation.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I can't, I just I can't not again. You just
you just heard that correctly.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
That was an ABC reporter on the ground in LA.
Basically he was covering the riots, saying, you know, hey,
what's the big deal just to people are having fun
watching a car burn?

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Riots still not riots.

Speaker 2 (01:23):
It's entertainment, said, they're just watching a car burn.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Don't never mind.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
The fact that somebody just had their new jeep torched,
you know, for the fun of it, to entertain other people.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
This has nothing to do by the way, and we
you know, we had this stuff in Portland and other
cities and blah blah blah blah blah. Look, this has
nothing to do with the politics of it. Look, there's
a big difference, big difference between peaceful protesting, which I
am very much in favor of. Look, if you've got
something to say, go ahead and say it, hold a sign, whatever,
and rioting. But to call rioting peaceful protesting is he

(01:57):
said they having fun?

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Do you even called peaceful protesting? It's a shocking cut
and I think everybody needs to hear it from the beginning.
At sixteen a.

Speaker 8 (02:05):
Large group of people, it could turn very volatile if
you move law enforcement in there and the wrong way
and turn what is just a bunch of people having
fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation
between officers and demonstrators.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
It's just a bunch of people having fun burning cars.
So why you know, don't send cops in there. That
is a national ABC reporter.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
I don't saying that I don't get it. Look, if
they were just standing around chanting or holding signs, having
fun fun, we're burning cars right there. Listen, if you're
burning cars, shooting people, looting and robbing.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
They're just having fun.

Speaker 1 (02:47):
But yeah, you don't get that. You don't get to
see having some fun if you're sitting around, I don't know,
maybe telling jokes, listen to music, holding signs, chanting. Even
if I disagree with you, Dan, you are protesting, which
is beautiful. It's America. Come on, free speech. I'm big
in favor of that. I'm not in favor of free
lighting cars on fire.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Even call them protests. He said they're having fun. Well,
they literally having fun.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Well I get Listen, I can't argue with him. Some
of those people probably aren't having fun torch in the city.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah, just like you know, Dahmer had fun eating people too.
I mean, just like it's it's really, how did we
get here? How did this happen?

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Well?

Speaker 2 (03:23):
How did all the start in La? Well, it started
because ice officers tried to enforce the law and they
had legal warrants. They tried to take into custody some
very bad guys borders our Tom Homan explains how this
all started to a please.

Speaker 9 (03:41):
They arrest a lot of bad people yesterday and today.
They arrested hild sex offenders, They arrested people convicted the robbery.
They arrested public safety not only significant public safety threats,
but national security threats. They arrested gang members. We're making
Los Angeles safer, and mayor and Mayor Bath all to
be thanking us for making her city safer.

Speaker 2 (04:01):
Yeah, ed you know more to say about that cut
number two B and.

Speaker 9 (04:05):
The term migrant, as Joe Kanci rightfully said earlier, they
are illegal aliens. There are illegal aliens in this country.
We welcome. We're the most given country in the world.
But these are illegal aliens who committed crime by crossing
this border legally, then yet committed another crime again yesterday
about a criminal investigation into monder laundering, tax evasion and

(04:25):
some of the funds going to cartels and Mexicans in
Colombia that funder operations of sending narcotics to this country,
killing American people.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
So that's what was happening, right. So, and you had
protesters who are you had activists, immigration activists, they turned themselves,
but actually there's illegal alien supporters and their response to
the fact that these bad guys, these guys with criminal warrants,
and not just for being in henior i legally, but

(04:55):
for other criminal activities, were being arrested. They got out
and did this cut thirty one pre.

Speaker 10 (05:00):
The all preda all because of attack one of us
is the attack on all.

Speaker 9 (05:07):
Of us, and Los Angeles does not back down for
that kind of fight.

Speaker 10 (05:12):
Continue fighting until we reconstruct every single institution from the
ground up. For though we can grant full amnesty for
all immigrants, demand full compensation for all of the victims
of this criminal injustice system.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
What's going to change us is organizing, and not just
any type of organizing Milton organizing.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Milton is a code word for violent organizing. So they're
saying violent protests. And not only do they want you
to let loose the guys, not just you know that
the guy who came in with coyotes and is trying
to make a living and trying to escape poverty somewhere,
but we're talking about the drug dealers, the rapists, the murders.
They want them out to and we need to pay
them for the fact that they were arrested. And these

(05:56):
people were not the only ones here is a an
La City council member happens to be a Democrat by
the name of you Unissus Hernandez, Cut nineteen.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
They know how quickly we mobilize. That's why they're changing
tactics because community defense works and our resistance has slowed
them down before.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
And if they're.

Speaker 4 (06:12):
Escalating their tactics, then so are we.

Speaker 11 (06:15):
When they so up, when they sew up, we gotta
sew up even stronger.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
So that's initially, that's the peaceful protest that you're talking about.
That's peaceful protests. However, they're calling for violence. So what
happens violence here is this is just that sound of
anti ice rioters throwing explosives at the federal buildings in
downtown La Cut number twenty. I mean it's it's you know,

(06:53):
And so the police come in, try to get hold
of stuff, and the press gets involved and cut twenty
one time.

Speaker 6 (07:01):
Let's get some Laurens.

Speaker 12 (07:03):
Who is down there?

Speaker 13 (07:04):
Lauren?

Speaker 6 (07:04):
What are you seeing and hearing?

Speaker 5 (07:05):
It's a crowd of.

Speaker 14 (07:07):
Law enforcement coming out.

Speaker 1 (07:08):
Wait, we have oh my god, we have tear gas.
We have fireworks going off. Tear gas is in the air.
People are dispersing. I can't see anything.

Speaker 5 (07:18):
I'm sorry, I can't see anything.

Speaker 4 (07:19):
Lauren.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Yeah, back up if you can.

Speaker 14 (07:21):
We want you to be safe first and foremost, So Lauren,
please gather yourself, get to safety. We know we have
a chopper shot that we can take as well. Can
we possibly take this chopper shot here? We want to
get Lauren to safety. As you can hear, she can't
really breathe in that area. That sounds like a lot
of tear gats.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Who brought that on?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
How about the people throwing the explosives, the people torching cars,
the people looting and though the went brought it on,
But what was the response of local officials like Governor
Gavin Newsom California governor or you know, mayor Mayor Karen
bass cut number eight.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Please.

Speaker 13 (07:56):
A number of people stayed around and unfortunately or committing violence,
you know in the form of defacing buildings, throwing bottles,
throwing cans. And that's just unacceptable. When the LAPD declares
an unlawful assembly, they need to leave, not scatter around
the city creating violence or grafeeding upbuildings. This does not

(08:19):
help anything.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
So okay, reasonable response, right, that's a reasonable response from
from mayor baths. But the police were overwhelmed, and they
came out and said, we are overwhelmed. We can't do it.
So what happens President Trump sends in the National Guard.
Is she happy about that in order for them to
help basically get a hold of what's going on? Uh No,

(08:41):
Cut eightc.

Speaker 11 (08:42):
Deploying federalized troops is a dangerous escalation. But we need
to be real about this. This is about another agenda.
It's not about public safety. There's clearly no plan and
there is clearly no policy. One.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Things already escalated. She said they were escorar escalated.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
But here's what happened with the Democrats. I'd escalated by
the time the National guardiscan in there. The Democrats do
not appear to see the cars burning, the police being
injured by throwing concrete bricks and fireworks at them, basically,
the vandalism and the looting. They don't acknowledge that it exists.

(09:23):
Cut number fourteen. This is Senator Corey Booker.

Speaker 12 (09:27):
The reality is we see peaceful protests launching in Los Angeles,
and again, any violence against police officers should not be accepted.
Local authorities can handle that. But remember a lot of
these peaceful protests are being generated because the President of
the United States is sowing chaos and confusion by arresting
people who are showing up for their immigration hearings.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
They're not showing up for the hearings. That's who not
being arrested. The people who are being arrested those who
aren't showing up and are in hiding. He's lying about
that one. And too, he doesn't see the cars burning
or the police, you know, the policeman in the hospital
with a hole in his head because somebody threw a
rock at him. Then you have Congressman Maxine Waters, she too,

(10:14):
there's nothing, there's nothing to see here, move along. Cut
twenty six tests.

Speaker 15 (10:19):
And even those who were out of step with what
we are advocating peaceful protests did not create any violence.
Nobody was shot, nobody was killed. Get it in your head.
And so when martial law is called, what are you
going to say, I missed the point. Don't miss the point.
You all don't think that somehow because they called out

(10:41):
the National Guard there was violence.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
There was no violence.

Speaker 15 (10:44):
I was on the street, I know, and I went
from downtown detention back out into the community talking to people.
What happened in Paramount, what happened in Compton, what happened
in Inglewood. So first of all, get it straight, and
don't just rely on what you're being told or the
few incidents that you saw.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
We need to winvor Wait a minute, she went from
no violence to the few incidents and so forth. I mean,
this reminds me of I don't know about you, Ben.
Do you remember during the twenty twenty riots, the ABC
reporter who's saying, there's nothing to see here as a
Wendy's burnt down behind him. It's the same kind of thing,
and it's it's appalling. And Nancy Pelosi also had an

(11:29):
I had a prossper way. She goes, hey, this is
just exuberance, much like the ABC reporter who said they're
having fun watching the carburn cut twenty three.

Speaker 16 (11:36):
When and I say this as a former party chair,
when there is a gathering, a large gathering of people,
the anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in.
So always have to be careful whether you see a
burnt car or broken window or whatever it is. It
may be the exuberance of the moment, but it may

(11:58):
be the anarchist said.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Oh my god, they don't want to acknowledge that there
was a problem, that there was any violence, because to
acknowledge that there was violence means that President Trump did
the right thing. Cut one oh one.

Speaker 13 (12:14):
Clean the ass. The best thing that this wasn't a
real riot.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I wasn't Is that what she said?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh?

Speaker 10 (12:21):
I think it was a riot.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
I think it was very bad.

Speaker 7 (12:24):
It was covered really as a riot by almost everybody.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
And then he decided, let's send in the Guard one
O two.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Fans up fact direction Act.

Speaker 13 (12:35):
You still fantas in troops.

Speaker 7 (12:36):
Well, we're gonna have troops everywhere.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
We're not going to let this happen to our country.

Speaker 7 (12:40):
We're not going to let our country be torn apart
like it was a divide.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
And it's autopen the bar for sending marine.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
The bardy what I think it is.

Speaker 6 (12:50):
I mean, if you see danger to our country and to.

Speaker 7 (12:53):
Our citizens, or we'll be very very strong in terms
of law and order.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
It's about law and order, Pary.

Speaker 7 (13:02):
We've got to see what we need, well said whatever,
we need to make sure that it's law and order.

Speaker 2 (13:06):
And they actually have sent marines in. But here's the
thing where Mayor bass or Governor Knew some grateful for
the help given the fact that their city was on
fire and people were looting. In fact, there was a
dead body found near one of the looting areas. I
don't know if it was if it was somebody killed
in the riot or not. Nobody does yet because they
won't tell us. No, they weren't grateful. Cut number eight C.

Speaker 11 (13:29):
Deploying federalized troops is a dangerous escalation. But we need
to be real about this. This is about another agenda.
It's not about public safety. There's clearly no plan and
there is clearly no policy.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
And Governor Knewsom, instead of saying thank you for helping
us get things in hand, said we need to stand
up to Trump. You need more protests. Cut number sixteen B.

Speaker 17 (13:53):
This moment, we all need to stand up and be
held to account a higher level of accountability. If you
exercise your First Amendment rights, please please do it peacefully.
I know many of you are feeling deep anxiety, stress
and fear, but I want you to know that you
are the antidote to that fear and that anxiety. What

(14:15):
Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence to
be complicit in this moment. Do not give in to him.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
Criminally stupid? Do you think I mean, is that criminally stupid?
What the governor of California just did?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Well agree with the first part. You know, he says,
if you're going to protest, protest peacefully. And I think
that's that. Nobody argues, but who the hell, Look, unless
you're stupid or some other problem going on, I don't
want to dive in you. Look, just look at the television.
If you live there, poke your head outside. I mean,
this is not peaceful protest. Some of it is. Look,

(14:51):
there are still some people doing peaceful things, even amid
the chaos, unrest and rioting. But come on. And but
by the way, the protesters, whoever they are, right, they're
the ones lighting the cars on fire. They're the ones looting.
It's not Donald Trump's not running to LA and torching
cars and looting buildings. This is not. You can say

(15:16):
all you want about President Trump or anybody else if
you want, but he's not the one who's torching the buildings.
He's not. And anarchists, sure, Look, there are a holes
who show up at things just to cause trouble. And
you had that on January sixth at the Capitol. So look,
but a lot of these people who are going there

(15:37):
to protest are like, well, it looks light a car
on fire, and now as long as there's a car
on fire, let's steal a television. And as long as
there's a people are still in televisions, let's throw rocks
at the police. Look, they say, here's the thing, so
Newsome in that particular cut we just played, but a
lot of these politicians, they say, just a tiny bit

(15:59):
of the right thing. Don't protest violently, protest peacefully, And
then they aren't protesting peacefully, and all of a sudden,
somebody put blinders on them.

Speaker 2 (16:11):
Look, they didn't see it, they didn't notice that. Well,
this is the point with Newsom is that I think
he's criminally stupid because he thinks you let the genie
out of the bottle to go along with what you're
saying about you let people peaceful, peacefully protest. Fine, nobody,
nobody is arguing that that can't be happened, that we

(16:32):
should just take that out of the equation for the
sake of discussion, because nobody has an issue with that.
We have an issue with is non peaceful protests and
that's what this turned into. But Newsom and may or
Bass to a certain extent after the first night, are
basically pretending that all the everything, and this includes Maxine
Waters and Corey Booker and Pelosi too, they're all pretending

(16:55):
that all of it's peaceful when it isn't. People are
being hurt, people are losing property. This is horrific what's happening.
And they aren't responding to it because they believe that
if they do, they're going to be seen as you know,
anti immigration, which is ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
And Maxine said, nobody was shot and nobody was killed,
so well, everything's fine, but so the so and even
if there was, well, even if there wasn't, let's just
assume that when she said that nobody had been killed.
So okay, So nobody's been shot and nobody's been killed.
If even if that's a fact, the city's on fire,

(17:33):
So it's okay, listen, as long as nobody was shot
and nobody was killed, burn the place.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
To The people responsible for the riots in la are
not President Trump for sending in law enforcement. That's what
they want you to believe. It's the people who refuse
to acknowledge that they had mishandled everything regarding immigration, and
they're the ones who caused the riot. First of all,
if ICE had been able to go into the courts

(17:59):
and pick up people in detention being held for other
crimes with their legal warrants, as they're supposed to do,
then they would not have had to go out into
the communities in order to find people, and you would
not be having these raids.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
They would not be happening.

Speaker 2 (18:16):
It's the sanctuary city policies that have in fact driven
Ice to have to do the raids. So the raids
are directly attributable to the sanctuary city policies that both
Mayor Bess and Governor Newsom have instituted. Then when that
blows up in their face because they've set up this
powder keg situation, they now say, oh, well, we can't

(18:37):
have National Garden here because that'll make it worse. Really,
what's worse than the city burning down, people being hurt,
you know, vandalism, businesses going out of business because they've
lost everything because you've allowed looters not much. This is
an embarrassment and that's what Tom Homan borders are. Tom
Hooman said on NBC he was being interviewed with Jacob A. Saboro,

(19:00):
and he's like, it's directly attributable to Governor Newsom.

Speaker 9 (19:04):
Cut six A like Governor Newsom's an embarrassment for the stake.
You know, he's the one that's feeding this at Mantra.
He supports sanctuary cities, he supports sanctuary laws. If here,
if he cared about public safety in state of California,
he will not have a sanctuary for criminals.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
That's That's exactly the point I'm trying to make. And
then he went to the point where he was saying,
not yet, but it's quite possible if they continue with
these policies, both Bass and Newsom could be responsible for
impeding actual law enforcement. And if that happens, then they
can be arrested because they've crossed a legal line.

Speaker 9 (19:44):
Cut number two has said many times he's elected officials
or these non government organizations they can't cross the line either.
I mean, we got people like you know, Hakeem Jeffrey's
saying he's going to dock site employees, you know, ICE
agents out there with masks on. They weren't mass protect
themselves in their families because they've been docks or family
has been docks or life's been threatened, their families have

(20:04):
been threatened. I know myself. I had over a thousand
protests in my house. I expect it as the borders are.
But these men and women are put their lives online
every day.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
And then so Governor Newsom decided to take that comment
that if they crossed the line, they could be arrested,
that Homan was ready to arrest him now, which is
not what Homand said, but that's how Governor Newsom wanted
to portray it. Cut number ten.

Speaker 13 (20:32):
Tom Holman, the borders are said to me yesterday.

Speaker 8 (20:34):
He did not rule out literally arresting you, nor Mayor
Bass if you interfere in his work.

Speaker 18 (20:41):
Him Yet he's a tough guy.

Speaker 14 (20:42):
Wasn't he do that?

Speaker 17 (20:43):
He knows where to find me.

Speaker 18 (20:44):
But you know what, now, your hands off four year
old girls that are trying to get educated. Put your
hands off. These poor people are just trying to get
live their lives. Man, trying to live their lives, paying
their tax has been here ten years. The fear, the horror,
the hell is this guy come after me?

Speaker 9 (21:02):
Arrest me.

Speaker 18 (21:03):
Let's just get it over with.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Tough guy. You know, I don't give a damn okay.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
First of all, Tom Hommand didn't try to deport a
four year old. What he's referring to is the fact
that when a parent is being deported, they have a
choice between leaving their child here with another relative or
in family services, or taking them with them, because it's
their child, and it's the parent's choice of what they
want to do. And most of these parents, as you
can imagine, as I would say, I'd rather take my

(21:30):
child with me, and they take their child. He's not
deporting the four year old. He'supporting the parent. The parent
chooses to bring the four year old or the child
with them. It's a horrible decision to make, but that's
what they signed up for when they crossed the country
illegally and brought their children with them or had children here.
They had to know that would happen.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
You need to stop with the facts. Listen. The people
who hear the five second cut from you know, Newsome
or mass or any of these are there be anybody
that's where they're getting their information. Terrible thing that's happened
in your little five second He deported a four year old.
What oh, that's terrible, Okay, where's the rest of the story,

(22:08):
as as as the legendary newscast used to say, the
rest of the story is I'm partly important. Maybe perhaps perhaps, Yeah,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Know what President Trump was asked about this about Tom
Holman coming and arresting newman. I knew somebody was asked,
should he do it? Cut number four.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
He's daring Tom Holman to come and arrest him.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Should he do it? Tom?

Speaker 7 (22:33):
I think it's great. Likes he's done a terrible job.
I like Gavenus and he's a nice guy, but he's
closely inconfidence.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Everybody knows.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
All you have to do is look at the little
railroad he's building. It's about a hundred times over budget.
We're putting a flag fall over there under budget. I
always do it under budget.

Speaker 2 (22:55):
It so so President Trump said, if there's grounds, yeah,
you know, going arrest him. In other words, nobody's above
the law, basically is what Trump said. He didn't say,
you know, it's absolutely, go arrest him. Now he's saying,
if homany has grounds, do it.

Speaker 4 (23:09):
So.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
But then we get to another press conference where President
Trump is and this actually I think is also going
to function as this week's truth ortrol. So the president
was asked, what crime should Newsom be arrested for if,
in fact, you think it's okay that he's arrested by
Homean cut number five.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
A crime has he committed? I think is primarily primary
crime is running for governor because he's done such a
bad job. What he's done to that state is like
what Biden did to this country, and that's pretty bad.
It's wrong philosophy. Thousands, hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants,

(23:55):
many of them prisoners. They are taking up your health care,
they're taking up your space and schools, they're taking up
your hospital and in many cases they're criminals and we
have to do something about it, and we're doing something
about it.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
So yeah, so he thinks he should be. His crime
is running for election. Now, okay, is he serious or
is he trolling Governor Newsom? But I can tell you this,
Governor Newsom thinks he was being serious. Cut seventeen A.

Speaker 17 (24:25):
He's calling for a sitting governor to be arrested for
no other reason than to, in his own words, for
getting elected. And we all know this Saturday, he's ordering
our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them
to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday,
just as other failed dictators have done in the past.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
By the way, the birthday party they're talking about is
the birthday of the armed forces, not of Donald Trump.
But okay, so Newsom says it's serious. He was telling
the truth that that's why you should be arrested. I
think he was trolling the governor and apparently successfully. So
what do you think, Benjamin.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I also agree he was trolling the governor because he
likes to do such things, and the governor taking things
a little too seriously.

Speaker 2 (25:17):
Because and then lying about the birthday party.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
By the way, let me reset here for a second. Okay,
a little non sequitor to a degree. We are in
the Boston area, and not long ago the big celebration
in conquered and Lexington, a place where the Revolutionary War began.
Two dred and fifty years right, big deal. Right, It's
not two Ordan four or a big, very big deal
Twordrean fifty. Okay. The last time we had a huge

(25:42):
celebration was the bi centennial in nineteen seventy six, and
the whole world loved it. So now we're at two fifty.
I'll be dead, but there'll be a three hundredth tri
centennial someday. So two hundred and fifty and oh, by
the way, the Army is two hundred and fifty years old.
This is not some celebration of Oh, it's two hundred
and twelve years of some guy.

Speaker 2 (26:01):
It's also Donald Trump Sadie's birthday party either. Now do
they coincide? They do, But this is about the Army. Sure,
it's not about them.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
I just had I just had a birthday a couple
of weeks ago. This is this parade for me. This'd
be great, I could, I could think we should we
should call it the ben Parade. Well, that's that's the thing.
And the day of the parade, you know how many
Americans will be celebrating their own birthdays. It's not that. Okay,
coincidentally or you know whatever, Donald Trump happens to have
a birthday that's right around there. Whatever, But this is

(26:31):
two hello, hello, hello, two hundred and fifty years of
the United States Army, A big milestone. I forget the
how what they call it. It's got that weird name
of what a two hundred and fifty of this? Like
bi centennials? Easy, try centennials easy. All these other ones
is not so easy. But it could be quarter twelve.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
Oh I'm sorry, that's the younger.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Yeah, but whatever. So this parade, the army, the military,
it is. There's a reason for it, and a legitimate reason.
Not that you know, well, I would be a little
bit head scratchy if this was the two hundred and
twenty seventh anniversary of the Army or the two hundred
and fifty fourth. It's it, really, yeah, I mean, there's

(27:10):
a legit thing here. They just did tons and tons
and tons and tons of stuff in our area.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
I think you made your point.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh god, well, you know what happens is my brain
explodes and then I have to put the pieces back.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
I know, I'm upfront and I see it from our
front row seat. But yeah, so that's so. You know,
here's what's happening. They're desperate. The Democrats are desperate. Why
because their voting base. They tried to make their voting
base at from you know, immigration, not just not legitimate immigration,

(27:43):
but illegal immigration. And so Donald Trump closing the borders
and deporting people is sucking away at their power structure.
So they're very very angry about it, and beyond what's
going on. You hear this pathetic attempt by Newsome, Pelosi,

(28:04):
Booker Waters, all these people who are trying to pretend
that their policies haven't backfired and are now eating away
at the country, and they're really angry that President Trump
is solving the problem. And what they're really really really
angry at this is CNN cut twenty A the.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Issue of immigration.

Speaker 6 (28:23):
How is President Trump seen as doing on that? Yeah,
you know, if we just take a look at the
baseline numbers here, this is Trump's net approval rating on immigration.
It's gone up like a rocket compared now versus eight
years ago. During Trump's first term, look at this, and
his first term Trump was way, way, way on the water,
minus twenty one points. But look at this, He's up
over twenty points now. In the aggregate, he is in

(28:45):
positive territory if plus one point on his net approval rating.
Some other polls even have it a little bit higher
than that. There is no issue on which Trump is
doing so much better than he was in his first
term more than the issue of immigration. No wonder, The
Times has written up the way that he is. Trump
is begging for a fight on this because he knows
what he's doing so far is working with the American electorate.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Absolutely CNN and it's Cornynn. America approves of what he's doing.
And that is why they are so angry. They are
angry because not only is he being successful, but the
American people support what he's doing and they cannot handle it,
and they're trying desperately to find to turn this into
something evil. And that is why you see the posturing

(29:32):
that you do. That is why you see the blind
eye to violence and to people getting hurt and to
property being burned, and the characterization of burning a car
is fun. That is where that comes from.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
And by the way, let let us not forget that
the last two term savior of the Democratic Party of
Barack Obama also deported a lot of people. I think
the numbers like three million people.

Speaker 2 (29:54):
But he was a Democrat, so that's okay.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Well, this is the thing. Look, getting rid of people
come here illegally is not something that Americans generally are against. Now,
if you want to play devil's advocate, and I think
you mentioned it's something similar earlier, is Look, if you
want to just toss out the people who the only
crime they committed is coming here illegally, which still we've

(30:17):
had the argument it's still illegal. But if you want
to throw all those people out and I don't mean
throw them out of the country and throw them out
of the equation and just keep look, if you come
here illegally and then you murder, rape, rob whatever, then
who cares how you came here. You broke these laws
that any American would be arrested for. If you want
to take the only crossing the border illegal people and

(30:38):
not bother with them, you still have that's what they're
going after. And the problem is, here's what people miss is.
So they're going after whoever he is here illegally and
he murdered someone or raped someone or assaulted someone whatever,
and they're going after those people. And then oh, by
the way, one of the people whose only crime is
coming here illegally gets in the way or whatever, and

(31:00):
they go, well, what you're here, so we will deal
with you too. But they're not targeting them. They're almost like,
I don't want to say this is the wrong way,
but they're almost collateral damage. We're going after the really
bad guys, and you're not a really bad guy, but
you showed up, wrong place, wrong time, So we're taking
you into.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Well, I think what it comes down to is the
fact that you have to decide, you know, which side
of the fence you're on on this most Americans would.

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Appear to be on the American side of the fence.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
On President Trump's side of the fence. In other words,
who's looking better from what's happening in LA right now?
Is it the local officials the Democratic Party who's posturing
and trying to make bad guys look good so they
can ga gain more power? Is it President Trump who's
sending in troops and who's sending in National Guard federal
lives to California National Guard one and two? Is sent

(31:48):
some Marines in now too to help them?

Speaker 1 (31:50):
I myself, I am really a big fan of the
people having fun watching cars burn.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Okay, yeah, well, I'd like to know what everybody who's listening,
what you think which side of the fence you're on?

Speaker 1 (32:00):
