Alrighty, folks.
This is Joe Rusciello, and it is great to be with you once again.
Coming live from the asylum studios
and broadcasting from the pimple on the backside of Texas.
Bringing you the best quality political talk radio we could muster without all the bluster.

(01:38):
This is the podcast.
Okay.
Folks, I hope you guys had a great day today. I hope you guys had a great night last night.
Hope you're looking forward
as much as I am to today's show.
Thank you all for the feedback we've gotten about the, new positioning of the camera

(02:01):
and everything else that's, that's around us here.
Started yesterday, last night actually.
So,
I hear you.
And what we're gonna do is we are going to make some changes
probably tomorrow,
because we're not gonna have a show tomorrow night. And I'll tell you why in just a brief moment.

(02:22):
Now,
so we're gonna fix the lighting. We're gonna kinda change things around. I know I get washed out on one side of the face, and,
the angle of the camera, from what I'm told, is not flattering.
So we'll, we'll we'll we'll fix all that stuff tomorrow. Now, here's what's going on. So tomorrow, we're not gonna have a show.

(02:42):
Alright? And, tonight, we have to watch the clock very, very carefully.
The reason being is tomorrow is my little boy Charlie's surgery. Now I've been talking about it for the last week or so.
Let you guys know that, Charlie is my three year old Frenchie.
Love my little boy. He's he's the best little guy ever.
And
he's got a tumor on the back of his head that,

(03:05):
that the doctor determined,
was possibly cancerous.
They did some, some samples of it, came back that it was, had some cancer cells in it. So the, the best course of action that the doctor recommended was to remove it. So that's what we're doing tomorrow. So that surgery is going to be taking place,
tomorrow. I gotta drop him off very, very early tomorrow morning.

(03:26):
And, so because of that,
and the surgery tomorrow, we're gonna not have a show. This way, I could be available to, to to take care of him and if there's anything that I need to do for him.
Also, we have to watch the clock tonight. We have to end
by 09:00.
Alright? I can't go over. I gotta gotta end it by 09:00 because,

(03:48):
I wanna make sure that Charlie eats before 10:00.
Alright?
And those of you who know know this already, I spoil them, both of my dogs. I cook dinners for them every single night.
Was not able to cook a dinner for him prior to the show time, but,
it'll be ready for him to to be cooked until, right after the show, so I'm gonna have to do that. Now, I need to do that because he can't eat after 10:00 and if we end the show at 10:00 or I start cooking close to 10:00,

(04:19):
he's not gonna be able to eat and I can't do that to him. So
we're gonna watch, so we're gonna try to finish this thing up by 09:00 and we'll get moving. And, again, like I said, I had been talking about this for the last week or so and,
we did set up a give, send, go for Charlie surgery. So if you are inclined to help out paying
some of the expenses related to the surgery here, we would really appreciate

(04:41):
all the help we can get. We wanna say thank you to the, the, the recent $100 donation from an anonymous source.
We do appreciate that. Thank you very much, and we, we hope we hope that, you know, maybe a few more folks could step up with any amount. It would it would really, really be helpful.
So, so again, thank you for that. And, again, if you're interested in helping us out, it's, givesengo.com/charliessurgery

(05:06):
and, you can help us out with a donation in any amount. Again, really, really appreciated.
And then we'll be back on Friday, of course, and, we'll close out the week, Friday night with our regular show at 8PM.
Alright. Let's see. So before, we get to the to the actual content of the show, gotta do the usual housekeeping stuff.

(05:29):
So don't forget to head over to the website, open up our contact form, send us over any questions, comments, cares, or concerns that you have. Also, don't forget,
if you would, look for that support button. And if you can help us out with a donation in any amount, to help keep the show going, we would appreciate that. If you really wanna help us out, you could sign up to one of our, producer tiers.
Those are always those are probably the best way for us to gauge,

(05:52):
you know, how we're paying the bills each month. So, if you could, help us out with the donation in that regard, we'd appreciate it. So the the, producer tiers are are this,
you have the associate producer tier, which is a monthly recurring donation of $17.76.
Okay?
Then you also have the producer's credit, which is a monthly recurring donation

(06:12):
of $18.36.
And then you have the executive producer's credit, which is a recurring monthly donation of $25
or more.
And,
that with that, you get
well, with all the tiers, you get the shout out on every show.
You get included in all the show notes.

(06:34):
You get included in any emails or or any show information that we send out. Rarely do we do it, but we do it from time to time.
But as an executive producer,
you also get
the ability to
book a segment and come on the show with us and do a segment of the show with us live,

(06:57):
on whatever day we decide that, works for you.
So
I think that's a pretty neat little,
perk to the show, and so we're excited to offer that to you. And then, next week we're gonna make another change. We're gonna add something else to it. And so we'll let you know what that is next week, and it's just gotta make sure that we can do it. And then,

(07:17):
we'll we'll notify you guys about it next week, and then hopefully, you know, we'll get some more folks to sign up.
Recently, we had anonymous Angela,
sign up as a value for value,
donate donator
to the show, and, she's in that producer's tier right now. And we we appreciate what she's doing, and she's been a a huge help already.
She's basically handing all the bookings for the show right now and,

(07:39):
and doing some backgrounds and some research for us before we commit to anything. So we really do appreciate all the work that she's been doing, and it's I know it's a learning curve, and I know there's a lot of things to grab, and you you don't realize just how many things there are to do when you're when you're doing a podcast. So,
we really do appreciate it. It it it's a huge time saver for me. And, and again, thank you to our anonymous Angela, and she understands the reason why I say that. Alright. Also, I wanna say thank you to our executive producers, Wayne and Rosanna Rankin. Thank you so much for all of your help and your support, your donations.

(08:11):

Alright. Let's, let's see. So let's see what's gonna be the news today.

(12:35):
I was just checking something on the phone there. I got a notification but, wasn't anything
crazy.
Alright. Let's see. So
so, so this guy,
Abrego Garcia, I think is his name correct. Is did I get it right?
I think so.
Whatever.

(13:00):
Yeah. That was it. Okay. So,
so so very interesting. So the Democratic party
I know I know you're like, here he goes. He's starting to starting already.
Well,
I don't see the Republicans
staging
these,
these photo ops and,

(13:21):
trying to get these sound bites in
for,
and and trying to to defend
a
criminal,
here in the country illegally,
was in the country for many years, could have been deported at any time.
There was a, deportation order in place for him.

(13:41):
This man is a, is a a citizen of El Salvador,
and, he was,
deported,
after living in this country for for many years.
He has he had a deportation order in place,
in 2019.
And,
through several,

(14:02):
court hearings and court filings, we have learned that,
the judges that presided over his deportation trials,
actually,
did acknowledge the fact that he was an MS thirteen
gang member, which which, the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group and has been using the seventeen ninety eight Aliens Enemies Act to, deport them.

(14:23):
And,
Abrego Garcia was moved
to El Salvador. He's in Cicotte in El Salvador,
with all the other criminals.
And,
the Democrats are absolutely apoplectic over it. They are losing their frigging minds.
Why? Because Democrats play with feelings, they don't play with facts. Alright?

(14:46):
So,
today,
Democratic senator,
from, from Maryland, Chris Van Hollen,
who actually,
cared
nothing
for
Rachel Moran,
a mother who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien.

(15:10):
He decided that his priority
was to
fly down to El Salvador
on the taxpayer's dime
to get Abrego Garcia
out of jail.
Let me, let me share this here with you,

(15:31):
And you'll see here what I am talking about. This is
do my screen share. So I didn't do any clips, like video clips today. I'm doing it this way because
I was in a rush. Alright. So
here is, Chris Van Hollen,
the, senator from, Maryland,
and let's hear what, mister Van Hollen is saying. I just landed at the airport in San Salvador a little while. I'm now on route,

(15:57):
into the city.
Looking forward to meeting with the team from the American Embassy. And I do wanna thank our foreign service officers and the whole team at this embassy and embassies around the world, for all the good work they do
on behalf of our country. I'm proud to cochair the bipartisan
foreign service caucus, that stands up for the men and women who are serving our country

(16:21):
overseas,
and at home in the state department.
After that, I hope to meet with some high level,
government officials,
from
El Salvador. As I've said before, the goal of my visit is to talk to people here about the release of Kilmar,
Grego Garcia.
I told his wife and his family I would do everything

(16:43):
possible
to bring him home, and we're gonna keep working at this until we're successful. I also hope to have the chance, to meet with him, but we'll have a better idea if that works out a little later on.
Alright. So
here is a

(17:05):
a United States Senator on his way
to
meet with
a known
criminal,
to try to secure his
release.
Think about that. Just for a moment. Just kind of ponder that.

(17:34):
In the tweet itself
I don't know if you read it.
But in the tweet itself, it says, I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago. I look forward to meeting with the team at the US Embassy to discuss the release of mister Abrego Garcia. I hope to meet with the Salvadoran
officials and with Kilmer himself. He was illegally

(17:55):
abducted
and needs to come home.
Well,
he was not illegally abducted.
He is a criminal. He was arrest he was arrested
and
had an outstanding
deportation order, and he was deported.
He was not here legally.

(18:16):
He was deported
because he was here illegally, plus he was a known gang member, an MS thirteen gang member, and he is, exactly where he's supposed to be. Why? Because he's from El Salvador. He is home.
He is home. And we heard, a few days ago at the White House,
president Trump with, president Bukele of El Salvador,

(18:40):
was asked, you know, would would he consider releasing,
Abrego Garcia? And, of course, the the,
the Salvadoran president said, no. We're not gonna do that. We're we have turned he said that they have turned the country around from the murder capital to the safest in the world.
Why would they release a criminal?

(19:03):
The man is a criminal. He's where he's supposed to be. He's in jail in his home country. This is not his home. Whether he's married or not, whether he has children or not, don't play the feelings.
This is very simple,
cut and dry,
criminal,
arrested,
deported,
gone.

(19:24):
It's exactly the way it's supposed to be.
And if you want some more context,
let's, let's take a look at this.
This is, Matthew Foldy. I'm not sure who that is, but, important context. It appears that Chris Van Hollen

(19:51):
has never once posted about the murder of his constituent, Rachel Moran.
We'll share this here
in a second, if I can get it.

(20:13):
Too many steps.
I'm here at the airport. I'm about to board my flight for San Salvador. The goal of this mission is to to let the Trump administration, to let the government of El Salvador know
that we are going to keep fighting
to bring
Albrego Garcia home
until he returns to his family.

(20:34):
I hope to meet with representatives of the government. I hope to have the chance
to actually see Kilmar
and see what his condition is, but
we are gonna keep fighting because this is a miscarriage of justice. The Supreme Court has ruled nine to zero,
nine to zero
that he was
illegally

(20:55):
taken out of the country and put in a prison in El Salvador.
And
this is about due process. This is about rule of law. What bullies do is they begin by picking on the most vulnerable.
But if we get rid of the rule of law and due process of The United States,
it's a short road from there to tyranny. I'm here at the airport. I'm about to board my flight for San Salvador. The goal of this mission

(21:20):
is to let the Trump administration,
to let the government of El Salvador know that we are going to keep fighting to bring Albrego Garcia home
until he returns to his family. I'm not sure where that's coming from. Meet with representatives of the government. I hope there's a chance to
Alright. Now

(21:43):
and there's my dogs
losing it out there. And I'll tell you why they are because I forgot to close the blinds so they see everybody walking by so they're losing their minds.
So
it's a lot there too.
Yes. The Supreme Court did vote nine nothing, but it wasn't for that.

(22:09):
That's not what he that's that's it wasn't for what he said it was.
He was deported
and sent to El Salvador,
which is his home country.
It's where he belongs.

(22:30):
The Supreme Court did not vote nine nothing for that. They voted nine nothing in support of the use of the Aliens Enemies Act
to deport him. That's what they voted on.
So,
again,
a lie, a deception,
playing on heart
to make you feel bad for this person that deserves none of your sympathy.

(22:57):
The beautiful part of the whole thing is,
as we'll
share this screen once again,
is,
Eric Daugherty posted this. Oh my god. Long story short,
senator Chris Van Hollen got totally rejected today when he demanded a meeting with Gilmore Abrego Garcia by the El Salvador Vice President. The VP said, you have to arrange that through the Trump administration.

(23:20):
And
I guess we're gonna have to put this up on x.
This is an unsustainable
and unjust
moment, so it cannot continue
this way.

(23:41):
I also told his wife and family that I would try to meet,
with mister Abrego Garcia
while I was here.
So I asked the vice president,
if I could meet with mister Abrego Garcia.

(24:09):
And he said, well, you need to make earlier,
provisions to go visit,
Cicotte.
I said I'm not interested at this moment in taking a tour of Cicotte. I just wanna meet with mister Abrego Garcia.

(24:39):
He said, he was not able to make that happen.
The microphone movement's hysterical.
I asked he said he need need a little more time.
I asked him if I came back next week, whether I'd be able see mister Abrego Garcia.

(25:02):
He said he he couldn't promise that either.
So, basically So I it's a twelve minute back and forth there. I'm not gonna play the whole thing. So basically, what happened was is that he flew all the way down there for nothing at your expense. Taxpayer dollars to go see a criminal
who is exactly where he belongs,

(25:23):
and,
they,
yeah. Your money to do that.
So this is where the Democratic party has aligned themselves with. Again, not one
search,
through the search, not one mention of Rachel Moran,
an actual cons constituent of his that was murdered by an illegal,

(25:43):
not Abrego Garcia. I'm just saying an illegal in general.
And,
here he is in El Salvador
trying to garner the release
of an El Salvadoran
citizen,
a conv a convicted
criminal

(26:04):
Salvadoran citizen
and try to bring
that
convicted
criminal
Salvadoran citizen
to The United States,
where
he's not supposed to be.

(26:25):
Did you see you see where their alignment is? Do you do you see where the Democratic Party is
not
in the in doesn't have the interest of the American people at heart, but they would rather kowtow to
criminals?

(26:47):
You know that just pissed me off. Right?
Just,
as if I wasn't already pissed off about this. Just knocking the mic here just pissed me off.
Alright. Let's let's see what else we got here, in in relation to this ridiculous
Democratic senator.
The White House today, of course,

(27:08):
in response to all this is now amplifying
the, domestic abuse the domestic abuse allegations against 29 year old, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien who has been deported to his native El Salvador as Democrats
unrestrainedly
defend him against accusations that he is a member of the MS thirteen gang.
So while Democrats are flying to El Salvador on Wednesday vowing to defend Abrego Garcia at all costs, the White House is blasting

(27:33):
their trip while raising reports that the illegal alien has a history of domestic violence.
Carolyn Levitt.
So Democrats are flying to El Salvador right now to demand the return of this violent illegal alien MS thirteen gang member back to The United States.
And, of course, you have,

(27:55):
senator Van Holland that we just we just talked about,
making a fool of himself
in El Salvador.
And, then you have let's see. You have
you have this little little bit of information here, which we'll put up on the screen right now.
When Garcia was arrested, he was found with rolls of cash and drugs. He was arrested with two other members of MS thirteen.

(28:20):
Two judges found that he was a member of MS thirteen. That finding has not been disturbed.
And when arrested, he was wearing what is effectively MS thirteen's uniform.
In October 2019, Abrego Garcia requested asylum in The United States, but that was denied by a federal immigration judge, though he was granted protection from deportation to El Salvador based on claims that he feared persecution from local gangs. Abrego Garcia was subsequently released from ICE custody in March of this year. He was pulled over by ICE agents near Baltimore, Maryland, taken into custody,

(28:51):
and, he's now in,
El Salvador's Cicat Prison. Alright. So the other bit of information about
his deportation to El Salvador,
is that he requesting asylum because he was he was in fear of his life supposedly
of MS thirteen
and,
retaliation by MS thirteen.

(29:12):
Now
so that's why that stipulation was in there not to be deported to his native country. He could have been deported anywhere in the world. But,
under the Bukele administration,
MS 13 is no longer in existence in Venezuela. So there is no threat to him in Venezuela. So he is exactly where he's supposed to be.

(29:37):
And then, of course, we have the our our democratic friends here,
states, you know, doing their forming their delegation to El Salvador.
Two members of house democratic leadership are working to organize an official congressional delegation to the Salvadoran prison, where the Trump administration is sending deportees.

(30:00):
Sources say dozens of house Democrats have privately expressed interest in joining the trip as a show of opposition to the administration's
deportation
policies. Alright. Now, folks, this is what you need to do.
Okay? If you live in any of these districts where these senators,
or these states rather, where these senators are,
or the districts where the house representatives who might be who might be involved in going, because I see Dollar Store Obama there,

(30:23):
and I see that lunatic in the back with the purple hair.
If you live in any of these districts or the states where these representatives
are looking to travel to El Salvador
at your expense, you need to call and you need to voice your opposition to it. You don't I don't you don't want your money being spent that way, do you?
Do you wanna see your tax dollars being spent to pay for

(30:48):
the defense
and these political stunts
by the Democrats?
Is that where you want your money to go?
Do you really think that this is an effective way of spending your tax dollars?
Well, if you don't, then you need to call them. You need to let them know. Let your voice be heard. Call them. Write them. Let us be respectful.

(31:10):
Be respectful because
as conservatives,
we are that. We are respectful.
We're not the the the the lunatic fringe left wing that, that that run around burning things down because they don't get their way. No. We work with the system, through the system. You go and you let your voice be heard. You do it professionally,

(31:31):
respectfully, however you wanna put it,
and you let them know, I do not want my money being spent for this.
Let them know
that you will not tolerate this,
that you don't want your money defending
criminals.

(31:54):
Ill well, illegal aliens.
And today, of course, while all of this was going on,
all this grandstanding
by the, by the, the Democrats,

(32:18):
while Chris Van Allen
and and all and and all his all of his,
his, his ilk over there
are bending over backwards
for illegal aliens and MS
thirteen
members.
And
today at the White House, secretary
press secretary Carolyn Levitt announced that there was gonna be a special guest.

(32:45):
Let's take a look. The court ordered that the respondents
committed the following acts of abuse.
Oops. Sorry. That's the wrong clip.
This is
this is Carolyn Levich talking about,
Abrego Garcia
and, his, his criminal his criminal record. Let's,
let's go back to that really quick.

(33:10):
The court ordered that the respondents
committed the following acts of abuse. Once in May of twenty twenty one, assault in any degree.
And on May fourth of twenty twenty one, he punched and scratched his wife,
ripped off her shirt, and grabbed and bruised her.
This is from a court

(33:32):
in Maryland.
So not only are Democrats rushing to defend an illegal criminal foreign terrorist gang member, but also,
a parent woman beater.
Very well put. You I can't I can't argue with her on this. I mean,
this is who the Democratic party is backing up. You know, what happened to the Democrats that were fighting up for for women and and and,

(33:56):
in the in the defense of women and and whatever happened to that?
Well, it all goes out the window when it comes to an illegal alien.
Well, today at the White House,
the mother of Rachel Moran

(34:16):
was there at the White House today,
and,
she relayed her story.
I think it's on here. We we could put that on.
I want you to hear this. This is it's a bit long, but I want you to hear this.
This is her story. And the the the thing is after this, she they opened the floor to questions,

(34:40):
and not one,
not one reporter was able to ask a question because they were dumbstruck
by
this this woman's testimony.
I mean, just
just take a listen.
A lot of you,
don't know the whole story about Rachel

(35:01):
and about the crime
that was committed against her.
Even
us, her family,
we didn't know all the details.
They kept most of it,
close to their chest, the detectives,
because
they didn't want to do anything
to

(35:22):
hurt the case. They wanted to keep the integrity of the case, so they kept everything close.
I sat for the last two weeks
in her trial,
and we saw
layer
upon layer upon layer of evidence
against the accused,
an illegal immigrant from El Salvador.

(35:45):
And the things that we thought,
well, maybe might this might have happened, we didn't know. But when we were at the trial, we got all the puzzle pieces.
And I wanna share some of those things with you.
You know that Rachel is a 37 year old mother. She has five children.
We've walked the trail for the last twenty five years that we've lived in Maryland.

(36:08):
It's a safe place for our family. It's where we go to get a little bit of New England because that's where we're from, New England.
When she went on that trail that day, she was not planning on dying.
She wasn't planning on walking to her death. She was planning on going to the grocery store with her girls afterwards.

(36:28):
Victor Martinez,
he waited for her.
He waited for her to come closer.
He saw her.
He saw that there was nobody around.
He
attacked her.
He dragged her a 50 feet,

(36:49):
blood gushing from her head. It left a 50
foot trail of her blood
to the culverts
where he took, he picked her up,
he threw her
against the wall of the tunnel,
and he raped her.
But before he did that,

(37:09):
he stopped on that trail
and rocks
still stained with her blood.
He used them to hammer her head
against those rocks.
They say 20
at least 20
times
they could count
the cuts in her head.

(37:30):
They said that when they did the autopsy, and I've seen the pictures,
there's a six inch square
in the back of her head
where the skull is shattered
the way that you would crush an eggshell in
pieces.
Three fourths of her brain hemorrhaged.
Her right and left side of her face bashed in.

(37:52):
Her beautiful face
bashed in.
Her head bashed
in. Broken bones,
fractures.
He takes and he drags her
some more. He drags her through
the thorn bushes. She has all the scrapes and cuts on her body.
There wasn't one inch of her body that didn't have some kind of injury,

(38:16):
whether it's bruising,
broken bones,
contusions,
the scratches.
She had a fractured rib,
fractured nose,
fractured skull.
And then he takes her into the tunnel,
and he picks her
up.
He throws her against the wall.

(38:39):
Blood is gushing from her head.
Her hair is soaked in blood,
and they showed us pictures of her body.
Against the wall outline the blood outlined her body, and you could see
where the blood
ran down around her as he was raping
her. And then he threw her down

(39:00):
and raped her some more.
And then he strangled her because he didn't want her to be able to live to tell the story.
They said that when they did the autopsy on her neck
that one of the things they do is they open up the neck and they look to see how far the injury is.
And they went all the way down as far as an injury as possible. Hemorrhaging

(39:23):
in the muscles
because of how,
strong and violent the group was
around her.
These are the kind of people
that have
no
no compulsion.
Like, to them, this is nothing.
And when he was sitting in

(39:45):
the courtroom,
he actually looked like
he thought he was going to be
set free.
There was no remorse on his face at all.
This this person took my daughter
so violently and so gruesomely
and so graphically
that they sealed the pictures

(40:06):
because I don't want my granddaughters
to see these pictures.
That's these are the kind of criminals
president Trump
wants to remove from our country.
These are the kind of criminals that we need to remove from our country.
We are American citizens. Why should we allow

(40:28):
people like this, violent criminals that have no conscience at all,
to murder
our mothers,
our sisters,
our daughters.
What's what's I don't understand
why there's even any kind of
problem with this.
And it's not that it's

(40:49):
political,
like the left or the right, although I understand different parties
have used it in the past.
But we have to look at it as we are American citizens.
We need to protect
our families,
our borders,
our children.
I don't care about politics

(41:09):
to be well, I do, but,
I want to preserve life.
And that's the only reason why
I have taken and spoken about
Rachel all this time.
If you're a mother here in the room,
can you imagine
standing there alive,
you're alive, if someone comes and puts their hands into your chest and rips out your heart?

(41:33):
That's what it feels like. It feels like a part of you is being ripped out of you. You can't even describe the pain.
Just like you can't describe to your husband
what it feels like to carry a baby in your womb
or to feel those first kicks
or to know just intuitively if it's a boy or a girl. It's only a thing that a mother knows.

(41:56):
Why are we not protecting
the American citizens?
It's just common sense. Why are we not protecting our children?
And to have
a senator
from Maryland
who didn't even acknowledge or barely acknowledge my daughter
and the brutal death

(42:18):
that she endured,
leaving her five children
without a mother
and now a grandbaby
without a grandmother
so that he can use my taxpayer money
to fly to El Salvador
to bring back someone that's not even an American citizen?

(42:39):
Why does that person
have more right
than I do,
or my daughter,
for my grandchildren.
Amen to that.
I don't I don't understand this.
That's spoken from the heart.
Thank you.
That comp that was a total from the heart comment.

(43:02):
Totally from the heart.
I don't think anyone could have said it any better than that.
Sad,
incredibly sad,
and absolutely disgusting.
And this guy, this this senator is on his way or went to El Salvador

(43:27):
on American taxpayer money
to try to bring back a criminal,
not even a citizen.
And then this happened.
Any questions for Patty,
or for me?
Not one question? Nope. I have a question.
No. Anybody?

(43:47):
Okay. I'll see you all later. The president will be at his dinner later this week. Thank you. Thank you for being here, miss Moore. We really appreciate you. Thank you. Thank you very much.
For your loss. Thank you. Please tell the truth.
Tell tell the truth. Yeah. Tell, like, how violent it really is.

(44:08):
This is about
protecting
our children.
It's more than just
politics or votes
or just anything. It's about national security protecting Americans,
protecting our children.
Thank you. And thank you for listening. Thank you for being here.

(44:28):
Absolutely from the heart. You you
know? And
these vultures
in the press,
these vultures
couldn't even have
the decency

(44:51):
to ask a question.
And I don't believe that those platitudes that they gave her at the end expressing their their
their their sorrow,
their condolences over over the loss of her daughter, I don't think that those

(45:12):
I
don't think those were from the heart.
But, folks, this is what the Democratic Party has done to this country.
This is

(45:34):
the result of globalist
open borders.
Hey, everybody. Come on in.
This is the result of that.
The American citizen is
a second, maybe even third class citizen in their own country.

(46:06):
It's really sad, folks. It really is sad. And and and I know it was a long clip, and I I probably should have threw a warning out there that, you know, if there were if you if you had kids or anything or anyone young listening that they, you know, you might not want them to hear it, and I apologize
for not doing that. I should have.
That was the third
time that I listened

(46:27):
to that clip.
I have a daughter. I have a beautiful,
amazing, talented, smart,
amazing, wonderful daughter.
And I can't even I can't even begin
to imagine

(46:48):
what it must be like
When I heard her tell the story, I I just
I thought about my own.

(47:09):
And the fact that she could stand up there and she can talk about it, I I don't know if I'd be able to, to be honest with you. I I I don't think I'd be able to. I think I'd I'd probably lose my mind.
You know, my daughter is not just
my daughter. She's she's
everything to me.

(47:37):
She's my bestie. You know?
I adore her.
Incredibly proud of her.
And I can't even imagine how I'd be
if, God forbid,
anything like this should ever happen to her.

(48:03):
And yet you have
democrat senators,
representatives
planning a field trip
to Venezuela
to bring back
someone who's not even a citizen

(48:23):
of The United States,
a known criminal, a known gangbanger,
that's where their priority is,
and it's disgusting.
Absolutely
disgusting.

(48:46):
Well, folks,
I wasn't really planning on spending the whole show talking about this
situation,
but
we did. But there's other stuff going on in the world today,
that I wanted to talk about that we'll we'll get to,
little bits of it here or there, come Thursday. We'll just kinda touch on them very briefly.
For example,

(49:09):
Pete Hegseth, secretary of defense Hegseth's
top advisor,
escorted from the Pentagon.
Had some involvement with Signal Gate, possibly.
Then you have,
a $27,000,000,000
cut
to the to, to the State Department that would just basically end
the State Department funding of the United Nations and NATO.

(49:32):
Not a horrible thing. I think that's a great thing. I think that should be done.
I don't think it should be be part of NATO anymore. I don't think it should be part of the United Nations.
I think the United Nations should be evicted from New York City. If not, they should be paying a hell of a lot of money to be there.
I really wanted to get to this

(49:54):
piece about this,
body cam footage that came out
of this black,
community leader that was shot after stealing a police car and attacking an officer.
Because,
of course,
the media is not telling you
the story. They're telling you a story. That's what, I learned that from Bongino.

(50:21):
Credit where credit's due, my friends. Credit where credit's due.
Because, of course, you have the media's out there saying, you know, an innocent black man was shot and killed by the police on a highway, but
not true.
And the body cam footage
demonstrates that. So we'll talk about that

(50:41):
next time. And, of course, you know, we're we're, you know, looking at, Letitia
Leticia James, Big Tish, out there in New York
after going on several rants about Donald Trump. You know, no one's above the law. No one's above the law.
And brought him up on charges of,

(51:03):
for for falsifying records and of loan amounts and appraisal amounts and such.
Yet Tish,
apparently,
yeah. She,
she got some she took out some loans that, or or applied for some loans that really could have, reduced her mortgage interest by as much as a, 1%.

(51:27):
And, she would have lower monthly payments, and,
she,
declared
her residency was her primary residence was gonna be in in in Virginia.
So, yeah.
Yeah.
Remember, whatever the left accuses you of is
more than likely what they're doing themselves.
So we'll say, bye, Leticia.

(51:49):
And then this was kinda funny, and I I was hoping to get to this, but I'm not we're we're not going to. But we'll talk about it later on how,
Joe Biden made his first
public appearance
or the first public address since leaving office
and seemed to seemed to have forgotten a few
details of,

(52:10):
elements of his life that he brought up like,
growing up in a Black
neighborhood, going to a Black church.
Because at this event,
not only did he
say that
he,

(52:30):
he never
saw hardly any black people in Scranton at the time.
And he said he was only in the fourth grade, and he remembered seeing kids going by
all the time called colored kids, quote,
on a bus.

(52:53):
He said, I remember watching a bus go by. It was full of colored kids. I'd never seen those.
That's the face of your Democratic party, my friends.
Racist to the core.
And, we'll get to that because I got the audio for that. That was
pretty hilarious.
And then, strangely enough, in all places in the world, the United Kingdom Supreme Court rules that trans women are not legally biological women.

(53:20):
That's big, actually. When you think about it, that's, I'm making fun of it, but it's big. That's important. It's a very important thing.
And then I also want to talk about how,
despite what the mainstream media is trying to spin that Donald Trump is in a tailspin and approvals and so on and so forth, actually,

(53:41):
his his his approval ratings are the highest
right now
since the inauguration.
Poll found, the the Daily Mail jail partners poll found that 64% of those aged 18 to 29 approve of the of the job Trump is doing. Those six those 65
approve at 54%.

(54:02):
So 64%,
fifty four %,
in the 65
group, the thirty to forty nine, and fifty to sixty four age groups at 52%. So every marker
every mark well, no. No. No. Because, independents are below 50. The independents are at 48%, but
but the majority

(54:23):
are over 50%.
That's
big.
That's a huge shift.
Huge shift.
Alright. Well, we got just a minute or two to go to go here, so I just wanna again say thank you to everybody for watching tonight. Thank you for taking time out of your day to be here with us and, we are looking forward to, getting back to you guys on Friday.
