Speaker 1 (00:03):
What it's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Michael Arry Show is on the air. He pulls a knife,
you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to
the hospital, and you say, I want a history the.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Marks to day you hardly see a police car in
a neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Declan Morgan has owned and operated Irish Nobleman Pub and
What's Sound for more than twenty years, Yet in recent years,
violent crime has literally walked through the front door. This
is video from the bar from when the armed robbery
crew came in right before closing, taking cash and belongings
from customers, employees, and the pub, and.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
It just seemed like crime is really pay out of
control right now.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump looked at
the assembled cameras and asked for me personally to say,
mister President, can you do us the honor of protecting
our city? Instead, I say, mister President, do not come
to Chicago.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country. We
have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral,
it is unholy, and it is not the way to
drive violence down. As the mayor of the city, I
can tell you that Chicagoans are not calling for military occupation.
They are calling for the same thing that we've been
(01:22):
calling for for some time, and that's investment.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
What safe cities.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Across America all have in common, they invest in people,
and that's what we're doing in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Do you believe that the streets in Chicago would be
safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the
streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I believe the city of Chicago and cities across America
would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing.
Speaker 8 (01:49):
Trump is crushing to the Democrats because nobody wants to
be a crime victim.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's that simple.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
President Trump telling reporters that he will we will be
sending the cavalry to Chicago to get that city's crime
under control. No Ramon, not the actual cavalry. And stop
saying cavalry. No, stop saying cavalry with you know what,
you're mixing the Bible and a hot dog city. And
(02:23):
never mind anyway, here's what President Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Said by them, Well, we're going in.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I didn't say when we're going in when you lose. Look,
I have an obligation. This isn't a political thing. I
have an obligation when we lose. When twenty people are
killed over the last two and a half weeks and
seventy five are shot with bullets. So let me tell
you a little story about a place called DC, District
(02:50):
of Columbia. Right here where we are, it's now a
safe zone. We have no crime. It's in such great shape.
You can go and actually walk with your children, your wife,
your husband. You can walk right down the middle of
the street. You're not going to be shot, Peter, You're safe.
Everyone likes you anyway. They probably wouldn't do it, but
(03:11):
it's so dangerous, and there are people in this audience
that you've suffered greatly. There are people in this audience
that have been mugged and hurt badly, and they don't
want to talk about it. Maybe you were very brave
in talking about it. You made quite an impression on
a lot of people. I appreciate it. But there were
other people in this room that have been hurt very
badly just walking down the street in DC. Washington, DC
(03:36):
is a safe zone right now. It's a safe city.
The restaurants are open, they're booming. You can't get a
restaurant new restaurants are announcing that they're going to be open.
This took place in twelve days. Now it's fifteen days.
But three days ago it became what's known as a
safe zone, as a safe city. And this city was
really bad, really really bad. We took sixteen hundred people out,
(04:00):
hard core criminals that will not be coming back anytime soon.
And we're very proud of it. You know, to have
our nation's capital lose every week, you know, it's like years,
many years where every single week somebody was killed for many, many,
many consecutive weeks. This went on for years, and then
(04:24):
we had last week. It was announced that nobody was
killed last week. And I made that announcement in front
of a very distinguished leader of a country, and I'm saying, proudly,
ladies and gentlemen, and nobody was killed in Washington, DC
this week.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He looked at me, like, what's that all about.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I say, yeah, we have a little bit of a
crime problem, and we don't have a crime problem in
Washington anymore. And the mayor has been very helpful and
the police Commission has been very helpful, and it's been
a great team.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And I would love to have Governor Pritzker call me.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I gained respect for him and say, we do have
a problem, and we'd love you to send in the
troops because you know what, the people they have to
be protected.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
David Axelrod was a part of the brains behind the
Obama campaign, and he went on CNN with a warning
for Democrats, do not play politics by fighting Trump on
his crime crack down.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You're gonna lose.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
I would be careful about playing twenty eight politics on
this issue, because the right answer is we'll take all
the help we can get as long as it's appropriate help,
as long as it's stuff that will really help. I mean,
as National guards men aren't even trained to do that work.
They're not authorized to do that work. So you know,
(05:44):
send us the resources that we need. We want to
work with you if there are a criminal, if there
are people doing violent crimes here who are illegal immigrants,
and he's that's good.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
He's giving them the advice as if he is in
former Biden White House Press Office Chief of State.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
If you me see.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
But egg Bole told Fox News the people in Chicago
care about crime and that Democrats are underwater on the subject.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
I think that it's interesting to watch Pritzker and Mayor
Johnson work together. Mayor Miriel Bowser didn't. We don't have
a governor here in DC, and so we didn't have
to work with anybody kind of in the state ahead
of them. Mayor Johnson has been really, really fortright and
pretty blatant when it comes to criticism of this rollout.
I think that it's been interesting to watch Pritzker, who's
been a little bit more nuanced. I hope he's able
(06:30):
to get there a bit more. But at the end
of the day, people in Chicago care about crime and
Democrats are underwater when it comes to life there.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It is monalds.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Even the Democrats are saying, guys, we're losing on this.
Even Joe Scarborough tells Pritzker, hey, look, Fatty, pick up.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
The phone and call Trump and ask him to come in.
He's coming in. Anyway.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Do you have leaders in Chicago that see this as
you say, We've been reading about this for years now
every weekend, and maybe crime has gone down, but you know,
we had the mayor of Chicago on last week saying, oh,
we don't.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
Need any more police officers. Police officers aren't the answer.
No police officers and you know, I think he said
no five times, look what's happening this week? And he
looks you know, I actually think that JB. Pritzker should
do something radical. I think he should pick up the phone,
call the president and say.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
You know, all right, the audio crapped out, you got
the point? You got Joe Scarborough saying, Hey, Pritzker, you
remember the old line by John Nesmond. Leadership is finding
a parade and getting out in front of it. Hey Pritzker.
The parades coming through town and the people were cheering.
You ever seen the Americans when they come into to France,
(07:43):
how excited the people were. Hey, Betty, you better roll
yourself out in front of this parade or it's going
to run you over.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
If you can't say something nice, you can always say
it on the Michael Ferry Show.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Well, Chicago has been in the news of particular interests
of late, not simply because.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It's a dangerous hell hole.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Where thugs who the Democrat Party protects shoot each other up,
but because the president intends to fix it and they'll
have none of that. You will not fix Chicago. We
like get broken. And once you understand that, you learn
a lot. Well, then you had another bloody weekend over
(08:35):
the Labor Day weekend, and the mayor of Chicago was
out and governor of Illinois where out was out, and
they're both out screaming about Trump while their people are
being shot and killed. To put it into perspective, you know,
these these are data points. We're forty seven wounded in
(08:57):
nine killed or fifty four wounded, depends on what hour
you stopped counting. The point is every minute that goes by,
more people are going to get shot. And those are
just data points there. They're statistics until they're not til
they're real human beings. And so we thought we would
dive in a little deeper, dig into the archive and
(09:20):
do another round of the Chicago Weekend Crime Report.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Chicago was just I mean, it really is just miserable.
You smell like chicken.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And now the Michael Berry Show presents the Chicago Weekend
Crime Reports.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
That was the later version. Yeah, we had an earlier
I forgot about that.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Eleven fifty five pm on Friday, cops responded to reports
of gunfire, finding the door to a home standing wide open.
Where they entered, they found a twenty three year old
woman with a gunshot.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Wound to the.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
To the leg, ramon to the leg, and a twenty
five year old woman with a multiple gunshot wounds too.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, pretty much everywhere.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
The twenty five year old woman tragically passed away en
route to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Saturday.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
In a very unusual case, a sixty three year old
man drowned. It's not unusual that someone drowns, is that
another person did it? Only the third time the Chicago
Police Department has ruled a drowning as a homicide, meaning
another person forced the person under the water until they
(10:47):
couldn't breathe any longer. Not a real common way to
kill somebody. Happened in a pretty nice area along Lake
Michigan eleven am Saturday morning. A twenty nine year old
man in a thirty two year old man. We're standing
around outside when a dark suv pulled up.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
And the bullet started flying.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Suspect in the shooting is unknown and shall we say unknowable,
because we're not about to tell you what he looks like.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
What was he driving across of three thousand? Because that
a help. The twenty nine year old pulled up.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
The twenty nine year old took bullet, took multiple bullets
to THEE to the torso, little buddy to the torso.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
The thirty two year old man was shot in the
in the right side. Insufficiently specific for my taste. These
people don't realize in they're filling out reports. We're trying
to make a show here. Hey, yeah, not the right
side to get shot. Yeah, he's shot on the wrong side.
Seven forty five PM, a forty three year old woman
(11:58):
standing outside of her home when five five men approached
her and said, if one of us fouls out, we
need a sixth man. They began shooting and she died
at the scene. Sunday eight thirty one at one forty
a m. Three men aged forty one, forty three, and
forty six were standing outside when someone approached them and
(12:23):
opened fire. The forty one and forty three year olds
each had wounds to their to their legs from home
and we're in good condition at the hospital. The forty
six year old was not so lucky. He expired of
his wounds. After arriving at the er. Two fifty am,
a thirty three year old man got into an argument
with another man who he knew. The second man pulled
(12:45):
out a weapon and shot the victim in the head.
His conflict conflict dispute resolution skills were not well honed.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Seven thirty pm, twenty six year old woman stand outside
and she got into an argument with another woman. The
second woman shot the victim in the chest.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
She died at the hospital.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
See I told you, see, I told you See Now
I win argument.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We just argued about they might not be arguing.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Eight thirty pm, an adult male was found lying in
the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead
at the scene, but before cops could arrive, eighteen people
passed by and filmed it on their phone without telling
a single soul, because that's what you do in Chicago,
he in certain communities.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Monday morning, eleven twenty am.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Man outside, another man approaches, shot him in the chest
multiple times. Dead at the er. Welcome to Chicago. Eleven
forty two pm, twenty five year old woman walked into
the er. She said she'd been a passenger in a
vehicle when she heard some pops and then felt pain.
She had been shot in the left temple. She died
at the hospital shortly thereafter. Chicago had quite the number
(13:58):
of multiple victim shooting events this weekend, called mass shooting events.
On Saturday night, seven people were outside around the corner
from the Chicago Public Safety headquarters and got shot as
a vehicle passed their group. At least one person a
vehicle opened fire. Everyone who was wounded is in a
stable condition. Sunday morning, early four people shot when several
(14:22):
men began firing at the group from two vehicles. All
the victims are in good condition, except they live in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Sty'll be dead tomorrow. I mean, we saw boys in
the hood.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
Early Monday morning when Popo were called to the scene
of a large disturbance. Big street party. That's always a
good sign. We're going to have a big street party.
And guess who we're going to invite it. Yeah, yeah,
that's going to end well.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Shots rang out.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
When the POPO ran to investigate, they discovered five people
had been shot. Four of the victims are in fair
to good condition. The fifth, a seventeen year old men,
had been gut shot and is in critical condition. Well,
is this is this what we want on the streets
of American cities?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, it is not. It is that time.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Tonto it is time to call in the Lone President.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The Lone President.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Hio Gold, a fiery horse with a speed of light,
a cloud.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Of dust, and a hardy highle Gold.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
The Long President with his faithful Vice President j D
who is married to an Indian wife.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The daring and resourceful mass writer of DC.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
But the fight for law and order at our patient's capital,
Redstern with us.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. The Lone President
rides again.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Chicago, Gill, the girls all get pretty at closing time.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
When you're listening to the Michael Berry.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
Show, Maslow's hierarchy of needs will tell you that safety
and security is first and foremost. Once you have that,
you move to the next level. When people are unsafe,
(16:24):
nothing else matters. The great propaganda manipulation of Democrats is
to get people off the subject of crime, because that's
a loser for them. Democrats have decided to lionize, to
(16:47):
make heroes of criminals. They have decided to make heroes
and victims at the same time. Whether it's Susan Sarandon
suggesting that this man on death row is, you know,
quite a nice guy, or George Floyd a career criminal,
George Floyd was going to happen. We just didn't know
(17:10):
the name of the supposed victim. In fact, they had
several before that and a few after, but none of
them caught the way that George Floyd case did. And
that's why when the mini when the details coming out
of Mogadishue, the police station's burning, the people who recanted
(17:32):
their testimony, the reports that were buried, the toxicology that
showed him with deadly levels of fentanyl in his system,
the video of him before that engaged in the exact
same behavior of I can't breathe. I can't breathe because
he swallowed the drug when the cop came up on him.
Then that was shortly before this whole incident. And then
(17:56):
there was the fact that he kept saying, don't shoot me,
don't shoot me. They've already shot me before. And he
tells the copies been shot before, which is not true.
Then he says his mama just died. His mom had
died years before. This is a guy who went to Mogadishu,
leaving fleeing Houston, where he had been a career criminal,
including violently and served in prison. Why don't you just
(18:18):
go in facinity telling you, why don't you look up
what he did to be sent to prison. It is
vile and involves a pregnant woman. This was a monster
of a man. But he was the one chosen. He
was the one that was going to be the case
that we were going to all the whole nation was
going to rally. We're going to put George Floyd all
(18:38):
over banners and walls and murals. George Floyd was trash.
He impregnated women and never stayed around to raise the children.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That is vile.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
He committed violent crimes. He committed a series of crimes
over a long period of time. He was in the
commission of a felony and already a felon when he
was called by the convenience store owners and they the
police arrived to arrest him. He drops the drugs down
(19:15):
his throat. But none of it matters. None of it matters.
There are people listening right now who think, well, Michael
make that's going too for You can't say that about
George Floyd, even if it's true. Does it matter if
it's true. Does it matter that Chauvin's in prison for life?
Does it matter if the guy almost died exactly the
same way when he wasn't in handcuffs, just a brief
period of time before that, because officers came upon him
(19:36):
and he threw the drug down his throat. Does any
of that matter? Does any of it matter? Because God forbid,
it's your kid who's a cop. Who's the person who
responds God forbidden? You're the one stuck in the situation,
in the car, in front of him or behind him,
or accused of something, or that he puts a pistol
down your throat because he wants your wallet. Nobody wants
(20:00):
to be mean the left iss toroid. We must be kind.
If we just hugged George Flood enough times, it'll all
be good. Well, how do you take crime off the
table in election season? Well, the only thing that some
inner city blacks value more than their own personal security,
(20:24):
which seems to be about number three or four on
the ranking, is being a victim of circumstances, bearing no
responsibility for children born out of wedlock that you don't support,
bad decisions, criminal actions, time served. There is this idea
(20:47):
that there is a glorified victim that has been imposed.
It's been sprayed by a crop duster into the urban core,
and it has destroyed lives. It's hard to fix somebody
once they're afflicted with this. It's a disease for life.
And so the Democrats say, we love you, poor black people,
(21:09):
we love you, love you, love you, but they don't.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What they do is quite cruel.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
They are caging people, they are chaining them up, they
are putting a leash on them. They have made pets
out of inner city blacks and it's tragic. And the
more crimes that are committed, the more than to say, oh,
the crimes might.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But the crimes are getting.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Worse because you won't do anything about it. Because you
won't do anything about it, and the measures it takes
to deal with the crime are the measures they oppose.
That's why George Flood was so important, because we must
demonize the cop. Look at what happens now. You've seen
(21:54):
this video of the woman. My friend Jesse Kelly said,
Kelly's posted it. The the officer who shot her needs
more range time because she didn't know how to use
her weapon, because she said, he said, the woman's big
as an angus cow, and she's fifteen feet away and
you hit her in the arm and the leg and
she's down on the ground. She didn't die because you
(22:16):
can't get through all those layers of blubber. But what
is the first thing? The woman in the background says.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You should have tased You didn't need to shoot.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Him, because there is this silly notion that is perpetuated
in the inner city that cops should never put down
rabid dog criminals, no matter if they've got a pistol
to your head, no matter if they're about to stab
your eyeballs out, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You should have tased them. How come you shooting them
to kill him?
Speaker 8 (22:47):
You should have shot a pinky tael off. It's absurd.
You cannot win the support of some people. And this
is an important thing for you to take away from
today's show. If you actually crack down on crime in
this country, you will spend almost all of your time
in the inner cities because that's where the crime is.
(23:09):
If you crack down on gun violence, it's not about
Tim Waltz gun grabbing. It's about people who steal guns
from people like me and you in the inner city
and then take those guns and shoot each other and
occasionally shoot us as well. That's the gun crimes. And
when they're caught by the cops. The soro's own district
(23:31):
attorneys don't prosecute them. All those guns on the street
in Chicago that they're using to murder each other, those
aren't guns that were purchased at a gun shop. Those
are guns that were stolen from lawful gun owners and
sold from gun runners, from bad people. And when you
(23:54):
catch these bad guys, felons in possession of a weapon,
you can see these rap sheets of my long guys
have fell in multiple times, and then they catch him
felling in possession and they don't do anything to him.
They don't care about gun control. They don't care one
bit about gun control. It's never been about gun control.
(24:15):
Here was Tim Waltz, the governor of Minnesota, calling for
a mass gun confiscation because he wants you unarmed so
you can't defend yourself against these savages.
Speaker 12 (24:27):
When they had a school shooting in Scotland, or they
had an incident in Australia, they simply made changes.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
They are just as free as we are.
Speaker 12 (24:34):
They still have gun ownership requirements, but they have made
sure that they don't have these and since they did
those things, they don't have them. We are an outwier
amongst nations in terms of what happens to our children.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
And I refuse to think that that's okay. It's simply not.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Take the guns away from the Democrats. Not every Democrats
a criminal, but every criminal is a Democrat.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But that'll solve yourself. It's not just Chicago.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
The president of the Milwaukee Police Union, Alex Ayala, says
they would welcome the National Guard's help in fighting crime
in Milwaukee.
Speaker 13 (25:12):
At this point, though, you would welcome National Guard here
in Milwaukee, I would, I would.
Speaker 14 (25:16):
Otherwise, how do we control incidents I had they happened
last weekend or a few months ago, when they happened
at downtown in the Corett area in the business district.
I mean, you have all these incidents that are out
of control. We don't have the staffing for it. I'm
sure that the National Guard would do a great job
in helping us out.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
What would they do?
Speaker 14 (25:33):
Ideally, you know, you can put up some security checkpoints,
you have them walking around, they're visible. I mean, you know,
you see a man in uniform and a woman in uniform,
you know you're going to probably not do something right.
So I think that would add to you know visibility,
while meanwhile the police officers can handle the actual crime
prevention and making arrests. They're there for maybe crowd control.
(25:57):
I mean, you needed that crowd control this weekend as
we saw those videos.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know, this is a highly political topic and a
highly political discussion as we sit here today.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You're fine waiting into that.
Speaker 14 (26:07):
I am fine waiting into that, because when are we
going to have another press conference in the middle of
the night to say one of my officers got shot
or killed in the line of duty?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Is right? He's right.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
The Trump administration isn't messing around on Crome. This is
an issue he needs to be a dog on a
bone about because this is a winner for us. Remember
back in May seems so long ago, when Cash Fattel
announced the results of Operation Restored Justice.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Five hundred kilograms of fentanyl is enough to kill one
hundred and fifteen million Americans. One hundred and fifteen million Americans.
Cops are getting after it. The FBI has arrested nineteen
thousand people this year alone thanks to President Trump's administrations.
That's double than where we were this time last year.
And we have also arrested one down and six hundred
(27:00):
people who have committed violent acts against children. Children two
hundred and seventy of them are human traffickers of children.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Mister President, this is what happens when.
Speaker 15 (27:11):
You have great leadership at the Attorney General with Pam Bondi,
your administration's priority of protecting the homeland and protecting American
citizens and protecting our children, and the murder rates are plummeting.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
We are now able to report that the murder rate
is on.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Track to be the lowest in US history, in modern
recorded US history, thanks to this team behind me in
President Trump's priorities.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You know.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
What's interesting, We're not arguing over whether the crime's good
or bad. See, that's to be the fact that Trump
has made this the battleground is a good thing because
you know, Democrats used to do this. Let's go back
just six years ago Trump's first term, Chuck Schumer talking
about he just wants his grandson to grow up in
(27:56):
a world without crime.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
Listen to this, And on Tuesday after afternoon, our country
suffered another shooting, this time in Highlands Park, Colorado. It
was the second shooting of the week, following a weekend
where at least nineteen people were shot in Baltimore, sixteen,
in Saint Louis eight in Chicago, Madam President, my grandson
(28:18):
is less than a year old. He turned over in
his crip last night. A great accomplishment. But on a
serious note, I don't want him to live in a
world where this is the norm. I don't want him
to see this on TV every other week.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And yet and which time are you lying? Well?
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Former Mayor Lorie Lightfoot aka Beetlejuice.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
She says, all this.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Crime in Chicago taught that's nonsense, that's a manufactured crisis.
Speaker 16 (28:50):
If he comes to Chicago, he's going to be in court,
and he's going to be sued by the state. He's
going to be sued by the city, and I believe
that they're with private interest that also sue him. This
is not about violent crime, and I don't think we
should pretend that this manufactured crisis and his attempt to
provoke people in Chicago is legitimate exercise a power. It
(29:13):
is not.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
You know what, The fact that these people win any
elections is not about them anymore. What kind of person
is going yep, let me go ahead and vote for
the same people doing the same thing. I buried three
of my sons on these streets. But let me keep
voting for the same people who tell me the white
man hates me. I mean, at some point you can't
(29:37):
help people that feel his way. Laura Trump was on
with Laura Ingram when she said that Democrats are on
a death spiral on this issue in many others, and
that is a perfect way to say it. They can't
figure out how to get off this carousel. Joe Scarborough
was trying to throw them a lifeline. Hey, you know
(29:58):
what do up? Muriel Bowser did just give Trump the praise.
Muriel Bowser has now made it in order that the
Metro Police will work with the Feds on everything all
the time, with no end, no expiration date on that.
She figured out that was the smart thing to do.
And by the way, I'm not looking for the Democrats
(30:21):
to continue doing what they're doing just so we can
win elections, because it might be my family or yours
it gets killed in the meantime. I want America to
be safe. Let's beat them on other issues, but I
want America.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
To be safe. They clearly do not.
Speaker 17 (30:38):
Death spiral is the perfect way to describe it, and
it's almost like a circular firing squad. They can't get
out of their own way, and they keep digging themselves
deeper and deeper. Right now, their approval rating with the
American people hovers around thirty percent, which means right now
the Democrats are less popular than tonel, fungus and cockroaches.
(30:59):
Maybe they ought to say about that every now and again.
They should be trying to do the things that Donald
Trump is actually having to do. If they did their
jobs and actually served their constituents.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
And met the most basic.
Speaker 17 (31:11):
Needs of their people, which is safety and security, Donald
Trump wouldn't have to be bringing in the National Guard
and trying to clean up these cities, but he's doing
it because they have utterly failed.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
They have no hopes as.
Speaker 17 (31:25):
It relates to a person to come out in twenty
twenty eight who can resonate with the American people, or
because what they've done is they've pushed their party so
far left that I actually don't think a moderate could
possibly win for the Democrats and be their nominee in
twenty twenty eight with the direction that they're going. So
if they're focusing all of their energy on hating Donald
(31:47):
Trump and wishing him ill, which they've done for a
long time. It's not going to work. They're not going
to win voters back. What Donald Trump is doing is
literally not just saving America by of course bringing back industry, revived,
viving our economy, securing our borders, but he is actually
helping the entire world. He's literally saving lives by ending
(32:07):
wars around the world. While they're focused on maybe something
happened to Donald Trump over the weekend, it's crazy stuff. Look,
I'm not in the business of offering the opposition party
any advice, but if I were them.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I would stop the Trump hate.
Speaker 17 (32:22):
I would take a long, hard look at what he's doing,
and maybe they want to actually start caring about the
American people, their safety and security and have some form
of rational thought. But we know they're probably far off
from that.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
People will ask me, don't the Democrats understand that what
they're doing is increasing crime? Why would they do this?
You have to understand the Democrats don't care about policy.
They care about power. That's how they can flip flop
so easily. They would be all for protecting you or
murdering you. They don't care whicheverone will serve their purpose.
(32:57):
So when you start arguing the efficacy of their policies.
They're just looking at you like you're an idiot. They
don't care whether their policies work or not. They just
want to hold power and accumulate wealth. And you're out
here trying to have a good government.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That these two are not. They're not the same goals.
What it's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Michael Arry Show is on the air. He pulls a knife,
you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to
the hospital, and you say, I want a history the.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Marks to day you hardly see a police car in
a neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Declan Morgan has owned and operated Irish Nobleman Pub and
What's Sound for more than twenty years, Yet in recent years,
violent crime has literally walked through the front door. This
is video from the bar from when the armed robbery
crew came in right before closing, taking cash and belongings
from customers, employees, and the pub, and.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
It just seemed like crime is really pay out of
control right now.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
Earlier today in the Oval Office, Donald Trump looked at
the assembled cameras and asked for me personally to say,
mister President, can you do us the honor of protecting
our city? Instead, I say, mister President, do not come
to Chicago.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
The addiction on jails and incarceration in this country. We
have moved past that. It is racist, it is immoral,
it is unholy, and it is not the way to
drive violence down. As the mayor of the city, I
can tell you that Chicagoans are not calling for military occupation.
They are calling for the same thing that we've been
(01:22):
calling for for some time, and that's investment.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
What safe cities.
Speaker 6 (01:27):
Across America all have in common, they invest in people,
and that's what we're doing in Chicago.
Speaker 7 (01:32):
Do you believe that the streets in Chicago would be
safer if there were more uniformed police officers on the
streets of Chicago.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
I believe the city of Chicago and cities across America
would be safer if we actually had, you know, affordable housing.
Speaker 8 (01:49):
Trump is crushing to the Democrats because nobody wants to
be a crime victim.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
It's that simple.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
President Trump telling reporters that he will we will be
sending the cavalry to Chicago to get that city's crime
under control. No Ramon, not the actual cavalry. And stop
saying cavalry. No, stop saying cavalry with you know what,
you're mixing the Bible and a hot dog city. And
(02:23):
never mind anyway, here's what President Trump.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Said by them, Well, we're going in.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I didn't say when we're going in when you lose. Look,
I have an obligation. This isn't a political thing. I
have an obligation when we lose. When twenty people are
killed over the last two and a half weeks and
seventy five are shot with bullets. So let me tell
you a little story about a place called DC, District
(02:50):
of Columbia. Right here where we are, it's now a
safe zone. We have no crime. It's in such great shape.
You can go and actually walk with your children, your wife,
your husband. You can walk right down the middle of
the street. You're not going to be shot, Peter, You're safe.
Everyone likes you anyway. They probably wouldn't do it, but
(03:11):
it's so dangerous, and there are people in this audience
that you've suffered greatly. There are people in this audience
that have been mugged and hurt badly, and they don't
want to talk about it. Maybe you were very brave
in talking about it. You made quite an impression on
a lot of people. I appreciate it. But there were
other people in this room that have been hurt very
badly just walking down the street in DC. Washington, DC
(03:36):
is a safe zone right now. It's a safe city.
The restaurants are open, they're booming. You can't get a
restaurant new restaurants are announcing that they're going to be open.
This took place in twelve days. Now it's fifteen days.
But three days ago it became what's known as a
safe zone, as a safe city. And this city was
really bad, really really bad. We took sixteen hundred people out,
(04:00):
hard core criminals that will not be coming back anytime soon.
And we're very proud of it. You know, to have
our nation's capital lose every week, you know, it's like years,
many years where every single week somebody was killed for many, many,
many consecutive weeks. This went on for years, and then
(04:24):
we had last week. It was announced that nobody was
killed last week. And I made that announcement in front
of a very distinguished leader of a country, and I'm saying, proudly,
ladies and gentlemen, and nobody was killed in Washington, DC
this week.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
He looked at me, like, what's that all about.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
I say, yeah, we have a little bit of a
crime problem, and we don't have a crime problem in
Washington anymore. And the mayor has been very helpful and
the police Commission has been very helpful, and it's been
a great team.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
And I would love to have Governor Pritzker call me.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I gained respect for him and say, we do have
a problem, and we'd love you to send in the
troops because you know what, the people they have to
be protected.
Speaker 8 (05:08):
David Axelrod was a part of the brains behind the
Obama campaign, and he went on CNN with a warning
for Democrats, do not play politics by fighting Trump on
his crime crack down.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
You're gonna lose.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
I would be careful about playing twenty eight politics on
this issue, because the right answer is we'll take all
the help we can get as long as it's appropriate help,
as long as it's stuff that will really help. I mean,
as National guards men aren't even trained to do that work.
They're not authorized to do that work. So you know,
(05:44):
send us the resources that we need. We want to
work with you if there are a criminal, if there
are people doing violent crimes here who are illegal immigrants,
and he's that's good.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
He's giving them the advice as if he is in
former Biden White House Press Office Chief of State.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
If you me see.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
But egg Bole told Fox News the people in Chicago
care about crime and that Democrats are underwater on the subject.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
I think that it's interesting to watch Pritzker and Mayor
Johnson work together. Mayor Miriel Bowser didn't. We don't have
a governor here in DC, and so we didn't have
to work with anybody kind of in the state ahead
of them. Mayor Johnson has been really, really fortright and
pretty blatant when it comes to criticism of this rollout.
I think that it's been interesting to watch Pritzker, who's
been a little bit more nuanced. I hope he's able
(06:30):
to get there a bit more. But at the end
of the day, people in Chicago care about crime and
Democrats are underwater when it comes to life there.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
It is monalds.
Speaker 8 (06:39):
Even the Democrats are saying, guys, we're losing on this.
Even Joe Scarborough tells Pritzker, hey, look, Fatty, pick up.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
The phone and call Trump and ask him to come in.
He's coming in. Anyway.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
Do you have leaders in Chicago that see this as
you say, We've been reading about this for years now
every weekend, and maybe crime has gone down, but you know,
we had the mayor of Chicago on last week saying, oh,
we don't.
Speaker 11 (07:03):
Need any more police officers. Police officers aren't the answer.
No police officers and you know, I think he said
no five times, look what's happening this week? And he
looks you know, I actually think that JB. Pritzker should
do something radical. I think he should pick up the phone,
call the president and say.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
You know, all right, the audio crapped out, you got
the point? You got Joe Scarborough saying, Hey, Pritzker, you
remember the old line by John Nesmond. Leadership is finding
a parade and getting out in front of it. Hey Pritzker.
The parades coming through town and the people were cheering.
You ever seen the Americans when they come into to France,
(07:43):
how excited the people were. Hey, Betty, you better roll
yourself out in front of this parade or it's going
to run you over.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
If you can't say something nice, you can always say
it on the Michael Ferry Show.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Well, Chicago has been in the news of particular interests
of late, not simply because.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
It's a dangerous hell hole.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
Where thugs who the Democrat Party protects shoot each other up,
but because the president intends to fix it and they'll
have none of that. You will not fix Chicago. We
like get broken. And once you understand that, you learn
a lot. Well, then you had another bloody weekend over
(08:35):
the Labor Day weekend, and the mayor of Chicago was
out and governor of Illinois where out was out, and
they're both out screaming about Trump while their people are
being shot and killed. To put it into perspective, you know,
these these are data points. We're forty seven wounded in
(08:57):
nine killed or fifty four wounded, depends on what hour
you stopped counting. The point is every minute that goes by,
more people are going to get shot. And those are
just data points there. They're statistics until they're not til
they're real human beings. And so we thought we would
dive in a little deeper, dig into the archive and
(09:20):
do another round of the Chicago Weekend Crime Report.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Chicago was just I mean, it really is just miserable.
You smell like chicken.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And now the Michael Berry Show presents the Chicago Weekend
Crime Reports.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
That was the later version. Yeah, we had an earlier
I forgot about that.
Speaker 8 (09:52):
Eleven fifty five pm on Friday, cops responded to reports
of gunfire, finding the door to a home standing wide open.
Where they entered, they found a twenty three year old
woman with a gunshot.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Wound to the.
Speaker 8 (10:08):
To the leg, ramon to the leg, and a twenty
five year old woman with a multiple gunshot wounds too.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, pretty much everywhere.
Speaker 8 (10:17):
The twenty five year old woman tragically passed away en
route to the hospital.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Saturday.
Speaker 8 (10:25):
In a very unusual case, a sixty three year old
man drowned. It's not unusual that someone drowns, is that
another person did it? Only the third time the Chicago
Police Department has ruled a drowning as a homicide, meaning
another person forced the person under the water until they
(10:47):
couldn't breathe any longer. Not a real common way to
kill somebody. Happened in a pretty nice area along Lake
Michigan eleven am Saturday morning. A twenty nine year old
man in a thirty two year old man. We're standing
around outside when a dark suv pulled up.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
And the bullet started flying.
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Suspect in the shooting is unknown and shall we say unknowable,
because we're not about to tell you what he looks like.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
What was he driving across of three thousand? Because that
a help. The twenty nine year old pulled up.
Speaker 8 (11:25):
The twenty nine year old took bullet, took multiple bullets
to THEE to the torso, little buddy to the torso.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
The thirty two year old man was shot in the
in the right side. Insufficiently specific for my taste. These
people don't realize in they're filling out reports. We're trying
to make a show here. Hey, yeah, not the right
side to get shot. Yeah, he's shot on the wrong side.
Seven forty five PM, a forty three year old woman
(11:58):
standing outside of her home when five five men approached
her and said, if one of us fouls out, we
need a sixth man. They began shooting and she died
at the scene. Sunday eight thirty one at one forty
a m. Three men aged forty one, forty three, and
forty six were standing outside when someone approached them and
(12:23):
opened fire. The forty one and forty three year olds
each had wounds to their to their legs from home
and we're in good condition at the hospital. The forty
six year old was not so lucky. He expired of
his wounds. After arriving at the er. Two fifty am,
a thirty three year old man got into an argument
with another man who he knew. The second man pulled
(12:45):
out a weapon and shot the victim in the head.
His conflict conflict dispute resolution skills were not well honed.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Speaker 8 (12:54):
Seven thirty pm, twenty six year old woman stand outside
and she got into an argument with another woman. The
second woman shot the victim in the chest.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
She died at the hospital.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
See I told you, see, I told you See Now
I win argument.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
We just argued about they might not be arguing.
Speaker 8 (13:10):
Eight thirty pm, an adult male was found lying in
the street with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead
at the scene, but before cops could arrive, eighteen people
passed by and filmed it on their phone without telling
a single soul, because that's what you do in Chicago,
he in certain communities.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Monday morning, eleven twenty am.
Speaker 8 (13:33):
Man outside, another man approaches, shot him in the chest
multiple times. Dead at the er. Welcome to Chicago. Eleven
forty two pm, twenty five year old woman walked into
the er. She said she'd been a passenger in a
vehicle when she heard some pops and then felt pain.
She had been shot in the left temple. She died
at the hospital shortly thereafter. Chicago had quite the number
(13:58):
of multiple victim shooting events this weekend, called mass shooting events.
On Saturday night, seven people were outside around the corner
from the Chicago Public Safety headquarters and got shot as
a vehicle passed their group. At least one person a
vehicle opened fire. Everyone who was wounded is in a
stable condition. Sunday morning, early four people shot when several
(14:22):
men began firing at the group from two vehicles. All
the victims are in good condition, except they live in Chicago.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Sty'll be dead tomorrow. I mean, we saw boys in
the hood.
Speaker 8 (14:32):
Early Monday morning when Popo were called to the scene
of a large disturbance. Big street party. That's always a
good sign. We're going to have a big street party.
And guess who we're going to invite it. Yeah, yeah,
that's going to end well.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Shots rang out.
Speaker 8 (14:47):
When the POPO ran to investigate, they discovered five people
had been shot. Four of the victims are in fair
to good condition. The fifth, a seventeen year old men,
had been gut shot and is in critical condition. Well,
is this is this what we want on the streets
of American cities?
Speaker 1 (15:06):
No, it is not. It is that time.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Tonto it is time to call in the Lone President.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
The Lone President.
Speaker 8 (15:21):
Hio Gold, a fiery horse with a speed of light,
a cloud.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
Of dust, and a hardy highle Gold.
Speaker 8 (15:34):
The Long President with his faithful Vice President j D
who is married to an Indian wife.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
The daring and resourceful mass writer of DC.
Speaker 7 (15:44):
But the fight for law and order at our patient's capital,
Redstern with us.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. The Lone President
rides again.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Chicago, Gill, the girls all get pretty at closing time.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
When you're listening to the Michael Berry.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
Show, Maslow's hierarchy of needs will tell you that safety
and security is first and foremost. Once you have that,
you move to the next level. When people are unsafe,
(16:24):
nothing else matters. The great propaganda manipulation of Democrats is
to get people off the subject of crime, because that's
a loser for them. Democrats have decided to lionize, to
(16:47):
make heroes of criminals. They have decided to make heroes
and victims at the same time. Whether it's Susan Sarandon
suggesting that this man on death row is, you know,
quite a nice guy, or George Floyd a career criminal,
George Floyd was going to happen. We just didn't know
(17:10):
the name of the supposed victim. In fact, they had
several before that and a few after, but none of
them caught the way that George Floyd case did. And
that's why when the mini when the details coming out
of Mogadishue, the police station's burning, the people who recanted
(17:32):
their testimony, the reports that were buried, the toxicology that
showed him with deadly levels of fentanyl in his system,
the video of him before that engaged in the exact
same behavior of I can't breathe. I can't breathe because
he swallowed the drug when the cop came up on him.
Then that was shortly before this whole incident. And then
(17:56):
there was the fact that he kept saying, don't shoot me,
don't shoot me. They've already shot me before. And he
tells the copies been shot before, which is not true.
Then he says his mama just died. His mom had
died years before. This is a guy who went to Mogadishu,
leaving fleeing Houston, where he had been a career criminal,
including violently and served in prison. Why don't you just
(18:18):
go in facinity telling you, why don't you look up
what he did to be sent to prison. It is
vile and involves a pregnant woman. This was a monster
of a man. But he was the one chosen. He
was the one that was going to be the case
that we were going to all the whole nation was
going to rally. We're going to put George Floyd all
(18:38):
over banners and walls and murals. George Floyd was trash.
He impregnated women and never stayed around to raise the children.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
That is vile.
Speaker 8 (18:54):
He committed violent crimes. He committed a series of crimes
over a long period of time. He was in the
commission of a felony and already a felon when he
was called by the convenience store owners and they the
police arrived to arrest him. He drops the drugs down
(19:15):
his throat. But none of it matters. None of it matters.
There are people listening right now who think, well, Michael
make that's going too for You can't say that about
George Floyd, even if it's true. Does it matter if
it's true. Does it matter that Chauvin's in prison for life?
Does it matter if the guy almost died exactly the
same way when he wasn't in handcuffs, just a brief
period of time before that, because officers came upon him
(19:36):
and he threw the drug down his throat. Does any
of that matter? Does any of it matter? Because God forbid,
it's your kid who's a cop. Who's the person who
responds God forbidden? You're the one stuck in the situation,
in the car, in front of him or behind him,
or accused of something, or that he puts a pistol
down your throat because he wants your wallet. Nobody wants
(20:00):
to be mean the left iss toroid. We must be kind.
If we just hugged George Flood enough times, it'll all
be good. Well, how do you take crime off the
table in election season? Well, the only thing that some
inner city blacks value more than their own personal security,
(20:24):
which seems to be about number three or four on
the ranking, is being a victim of circumstances, bearing no
responsibility for children born out of wedlock that you don't support,
bad decisions, criminal actions, time served. There is this idea
(20:47):
that there is a glorified victim that has been imposed.
It's been sprayed by a crop duster into the urban core,
and it has destroyed lives. It's hard to fix somebody
once they're afflicted with this. It's a disease for life.
And so the Democrats say, we love you, poor black people,
(21:09):
we love you, love you, love you, but they don't.
Speaker 1 (21:14):
What they do is quite cruel.
Speaker 8 (21:17):
They are caging people, they are chaining them up, they
are putting a leash on them. They have made pets
out of inner city blacks and it's tragic. And the
more crimes that are committed, the more than to say, oh,
the crimes might.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
But the crimes are getting.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Worse because you won't do anything about it. Because you
won't do anything about it, and the measures it takes
to deal with the crime are the measures they oppose.
That's why George Flood was so important, because we must
demonize the cop. Look at what happens now. You've seen
(21:54):
this video of the woman. My friend Jesse Kelly said,
Kelly's posted it. The the officer who shot her needs
more range time because she didn't know how to use
her weapon, because she said, he said, the woman's big
as an angus cow, and she's fifteen feet away and
you hit her in the arm and the leg and
she's down on the ground. She didn't die because you
(22:16):
can't get through all those layers of blubber. But what
is the first thing? The woman in the background says.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
You should have tased You didn't need to shoot.
Speaker 8 (22:25):
Him, because there is this silly notion that is perpetuated
in the inner city that cops should never put down
rabid dog criminals, no matter if they've got a pistol
to your head, no matter if they're about to stab
your eyeballs out, it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
You should have tased them. How come you shooting them
to kill him?
Speaker 8 (22:47):
You should have shot a pinky tael off. It's absurd.
You cannot win the support of some people. And this
is an important thing for you to take away from
today's show. If you actually crack down on crime in
this country, you will spend almost all of your time
in the inner cities because that's where the crime is.
(23:09):
If you crack down on gun violence, it's not about
Tim Waltz gun grabbing. It's about people who steal guns
from people like me and you in the inner city
and then take those guns and shoot each other and
occasionally shoot us as well. That's the gun crimes. And
when they're caught by the cops. The soro's own district
(23:31):
attorneys don't prosecute them. All those guns on the street
in Chicago that they're using to murder each other, those
aren't guns that were purchased at a gun shop. Those
are guns that were stolen from lawful gun owners and
sold from gun runners, from bad people. And when you
(23:54):
catch these bad guys, felons in possession of a weapon,
you can see these rap sheets of my long guys
have fell in multiple times, and then they catch him
felling in possession and they don't do anything to him.
They don't care about gun control. They don't care one
bit about gun control. It's never been about gun control.
(24:15):
Here was Tim Waltz, the governor of Minnesota, calling for
a mass gun confiscation because he wants you unarmed so
you can't defend yourself against these savages.
Speaker 12 (24:27):
When they had a school shooting in Scotland, or they
had an incident in Australia, they simply made changes.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
They are just as free as we are.
Speaker 12 (24:34):
They still have gun ownership requirements, but they have made
sure that they don't have these and since they did
those things, they don't have them. We are an outwier
amongst nations in terms of what happens to our children.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
And I refuse to think that that's okay. It's simply not.
Speaker 8 (24:49):
Take the guns away from the Democrats. Not every Democrats
a criminal, but every criminal is a Democrat.
Speaker 1 (24:54):
But that'll solve yourself. It's not just Chicago.
Speaker 8 (25:02):
The president of the Milwaukee Police Union, Alex Ayala, says
they would welcome the National Guard's help in fighting crime
in Milwaukee.
Speaker 13 (25:12):
At this point, though, you would welcome National Guard here
in Milwaukee, I would, I would.
Speaker 14 (25:16):
Otherwise, how do we control incidents I had they happened
last weekend or a few months ago, when they happened
at downtown in the Corett area in the business district.
I mean, you have all these incidents that are out
of control. We don't have the staffing for it. I'm
sure that the National Guard would do a great job
in helping us out.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
What would they do?
Speaker 14 (25:33):
Ideally, you know, you can put up some security checkpoints,
you have them walking around, they're visible. I mean, you know,
you see a man in uniform and a woman in uniform,
you know you're going to probably not do something right.
So I think that would add to you know visibility,
while meanwhile the police officers can handle the actual crime
prevention and making arrests. They're there for maybe crowd control.
(25:57):
I mean, you needed that crowd control this weekend as
we saw those videos.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
You know, this is a highly political topic and a
highly political discussion as we sit here today.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
You're fine waiting into that.
Speaker 14 (26:07):
I am fine waiting into that, because when are we
going to have another press conference in the middle of
the night to say one of my officers got shot
or killed in the line of duty?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Is right? He's right.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
The Trump administration isn't messing around on Crome. This is
an issue he needs to be a dog on a
bone about because this is a winner for us. Remember
back in May seems so long ago, when Cash Fattel
announced the results of Operation Restored Justice.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
Five hundred kilograms of fentanyl is enough to kill one
hundred and fifteen million Americans. One hundred and fifteen million Americans.
Cops are getting after it. The FBI has arrested nineteen
thousand people this year alone thanks to President Trump's administrations.
That's double than where we were this time last year.
And we have also arrested one down and six hundred
(27:00):
people who have committed violent acts against children. Children two
hundred and seventy of them are human traffickers of children.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
Mister President, this is what happens when.
Speaker 15 (27:11):
You have great leadership at the Attorney General with Pam Bondi,
your administration's priority of protecting the homeland and protecting American
citizens and protecting our children, and the murder rates are plummeting.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
We are now able to report that the murder rate
is on.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
Track to be the lowest in US history, in modern
recorded US history, thanks to this team behind me in
President Trump's priorities.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
You know.
Speaker 8 (27:35):
What's interesting, We're not arguing over whether the crime's good
or bad. See, that's to be the fact that Trump
has made this the battleground is a good thing because
you know, Democrats used to do this. Let's go back
just six years ago Trump's first term, Chuck Schumer talking
about he just wants his grandson to grow up in
(27:56):
a world without crime.
Speaker 13 (27:58):
Listen to this, And on Tuesday after afternoon, our country
suffered another shooting, this time in Highlands Park, Colorado. It
was the second shooting of the week, following a weekend
where at least nineteen people were shot in Baltimore, sixteen,
in Saint Louis eight in Chicago, Madam President, my grandson
(28:18):
is less than a year old. He turned over in
his crip last night. A great accomplishment. But on a
serious note, I don't want him to live in a
world where this is the norm. I don't want him
to see this on TV every other week.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
And yet and which time are you lying? Well?
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Former Mayor Lorie Lightfoot aka Beetlejuice.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
She says, all this.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Crime in Chicago taught that's nonsense, that's a manufactured crisis.
Speaker 16 (28:50):
If he comes to Chicago, he's going to be in court,
and he's going to be sued by the state. He's
going to be sued by the city, and I believe
that they're with private interest that also sue him. This
is not about violent crime, and I don't think we
should pretend that this manufactured crisis and his attempt to
provoke people in Chicago is legitimate exercise a power. It
(29:13):
is not.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
You know what, The fact that these people win any
elections is not about them anymore. What kind of person
is going yep, let me go ahead and vote for
the same people doing the same thing. I buried three
of my sons on these streets. But let me keep
voting for the same people who tell me the white
man hates me. I mean, at some point you can't
(29:37):
help people that feel his way. Laura Trump was on
with Laura Ingram when she said that Democrats are on
a death spiral on this issue in many others, and
that is a perfect way to say it. They can't
figure out how to get off this carousel. Joe Scarborough
was trying to throw them a lifeline. Hey, you know
(29:58):
what do up? Muriel Bowser did just give Trump the praise.
Muriel Bowser has now made it in order that the
Metro Police will work with the Feds on everything all
the time, with no end, no expiration date on that.
She figured out that was the smart thing to do.
And by the way, I'm not looking for the Democrats
(30:21):
to continue doing what they're doing just so we can
win elections, because it might be my family or yours
it gets killed in the meantime. I want America to
be safe. Let's beat them on other issues, but I
want America.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
To be safe. They clearly do not.
Speaker 17 (30:38):
Death spiral is the perfect way to describe it, and
it's almost like a circular firing squad. They can't get
out of their own way, and they keep digging themselves
deeper and deeper. Right now, their approval rating with the
American people hovers around thirty percent, which means right now
the Democrats are less popular than tonel, fungus and cockroaches.
(30:59):
Maybe they ought to say about that every now and again.
They should be trying to do the things that Donald
Trump is actually having to do. If they did their
jobs and actually served their constituents.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
And met the most basic.
Speaker 17 (31:11):
Needs of their people, which is safety and security, Donald
Trump wouldn't have to be bringing in the National Guard
and trying to clean up these cities, but he's doing
it because they have utterly failed.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
They have no hopes as.
Speaker 17 (31:25):
It relates to a person to come out in twenty
twenty eight who can resonate with the American people, or
because what they've done is they've pushed their party so
far left that I actually don't think a moderate could
possibly win for the Democrats and be their nominee in
twenty twenty eight with the direction that they're going. So
if they're focusing all of their energy on hating Donald
(31:47):
Trump and wishing him ill, which they've done for a
long time. It's not going to work. They're not going
to win voters back. What Donald Trump is doing is
literally not just saving America by of course bringing back industry, revived,
viving our economy, securing our borders, but he is actually
helping the entire world. He's literally saving lives by ending
(32:07):
wars around the world. While they're focused on maybe something
happened to Donald Trump over the weekend, it's crazy stuff. Look,
I'm not in the business of offering the opposition party
any advice, but if I were them.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I would stop the Trump hate.
Speaker 17 (32:22):
I would take a long, hard look at what he's doing,
and maybe they want to actually start caring about the
American people, their safety and security and have some form
of rational thought. But we know they're probably far off
from that.
Speaker 8 (32:36):
People will ask me, don't the Democrats understand that what
they're doing is increasing crime? Why would they do this?
You have to understand the Democrats don't care about policy.
They care about power. That's how they can flip flop
so easily. They would be all for protecting you or
murdering you. They don't care whicheverone will serve their purpose.
(32:57):
So when you start arguing the efficacy of their policies.
They're just looking at you like you're an idiot. They
don't care whether their policies work or not. They just
want to hold power and accumulate wealth. And you're out
here trying to have a good government.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
That these two are not. They're not the same goals.
