Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hello, I'm you happy, keep book Neil Smith and old
Buck Buddy. Are you hearing Neil, Neil? I miss you, man,
I have a question.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
We respect for me.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Down, Missy breaking a major story, Chris, congratulations.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
A single scorm podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
My friends. I've made a commitment to get this next
SoundBite into every single one of the Chris Alsado Show,
slash Salsado Storm podcast, UH broadcast platforms. And this is
I think it is so fundamental, and being a father,
I'm sure all of your other fathers out there can

(01:03):
relate to this man that I'm going to play for
you the way I do. And you're going to feel
his pain, You're going to feel his anger, and I
pray you don't lose it because what you're about ready
to hear is courtesy of the Democrat Party, is courtesy
of left wing lunatics in this society who I believe
we should not be accommodating anymore because they are literally

(01:26):
literally killing us. So this is Stephen Frederico. He's the
father of twenty two year old Logan Haley Frederico. She
was killed, folks, she was killed, and there are no
two ways about this. She was killed because of Democrat
left wing policy, soft on crime policies. So I want

(01:47):
you I'm going to start and stop this. It's a
rather lengthy testimony from Stephen Frederico, but he deserves to
be heard. All of it deserves to be heard. And
again the sentiments I think going to understand why he
deserves to be heard. Listen, how about of y'all have kids.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I'm just curious. Here's what I need you to do
when I tell you this story. Think about your kids.
Think about your child coming home from the night out
with their friends, laying down, going to sleep, feeling somebody
come in the room and wake them and drag her
out of bed, naked, forced on her knees, with her

(02:26):
hands over her head, begging for her life, begging for
her hero. Her father me, that couldn't be there. She
was five fot three, she weighed one hundred and fifteen pounds,
Bang dead gone.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
You get the sense that this poor man has had
the real in his mind, the film in his mind
of his daughter's execution, playing over and over and over again,
and imagining how he could have been there. He should

(03:10):
have been there, somehow he should have been there to
save his little girl. And he couldn't be, and he
wasn't and she's gone. And how this weighs on a
father when a child is taken from them in the
most horrific of manners. And because because of Democrats? Why
is it because of democrats? Listen?

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Why because Alexander Devonte Dickey, who was arrested thirty nine
goddamn times twenty five felonies, was on the street. How
about that? How good are we doing for our family?
How good are you doing for your kids? He should

(03:51):
have been in jail for over one hundred and forty
years for all the crimes he committed. You know how
much time he's spent in prison, a little over six
hundred days years.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Six hundred days in ten years of committing crimes that
he should have received one hundred and forty years for
Who's responsible for that? Folks? That would be Democrats, that
would be soft on crime, left wing democrats. Mister Frederico continued.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
He's only thirty years old. He was committing two point
sixty five crimes a year since he was fifteen years old.
But nobody could figure out that he couldn't be rehabilitated. Well,
you'd have to put him in prison to see if
he could be rehabilitated. Isn't that the idea of prison?
But no, my daughter wanted to be a teacher. She

(04:39):
finally figured it out two weeks before she was executed.
And I haven't heard a damn word from Byron Gibson
in South Carolina, not one word, four months, no communication.
His biggest concern was that he was pissed off about
my interview and how I made him look on Fox

(05:00):
News Channel with Trey Gowdi.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yeah, nobody wants to know, and nobody wants everybody else
to find out. How they've been lackluster and their prosecutions,
how they've allowed some of the most deviant monsters among
us to roam among us.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
How pathetic is that now we're letting our twenty two
year old kid visiting friends. It's all she ever wanted
to do is visit friends, and she literally was executed
while on her knees, begging for her life. Her name's
logan Federico, not Irena.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Irena, of course, is the young lady, the blonde who
was killed aboard that train again because of Democrat policies
allowing criminals to reoffend and reoffend and reoffend and reoffend
and get out with no time served, criminals they knew
were dangers to American citizens so they could go out
and steal our loved ones from US. Democrat policies, left

(05:59):
wing policies, soft on crime policies, pro criminal policies. And
I'm tired of it, and you.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Will not forget her. I promise you, you will be sick
and tired of my face and my voice until this
gets fixed. I will fight until.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
My last breath for my daughter.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
You need to fight for the rest of our children,
the rest of the innocence, and stop protecting the people
that keep taking them from us.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
Please, those would be Democrats. And that's a message to
your republicans. Those of you are Republicans who are protecting
these Democrats and whose policies are killing us. You are
as equal to blame for the bloodshed.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
You have the power. We put you in the power
to do what you have to do. We're asking you,
We're begging you all.

Speaker 1 (06:53):
I'm demanding you all. I'm not asking, I'm demanding or
get the hell out of our lives, you so called
Republicans out there that want to leave us defenseless to
these leftists, these Marxists. You don't want to do your
damn job. You want to go kiss the nearest democrat
ass you can find. Fine, do it on your own dime,
and so it doesn't cost me and mine harm or

(07:16):
my fellow citizen's harm. Okay, go do it someplace else.
Go sell crazy someplace else.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
To stop this. Thirty nine crimes in ten years, twenty
five felonies. Can anybody here explain to me? Well, how
possibly he could be on the street, possibly be on
the street. How is it possible?

Speaker 1 (07:36):
One word, sir, Democrats.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
I could sit down a room and I can explain
the whole process of how it failed, how South Carolina failed. Logan, Okay,
how lack of communication? What y'all did? You woke up
a beast and you pissed off the wrong daddy. Because
I'm going to put it out there and I'm not
going to be quiet until somebody helps. Logan deserves to
be heard. Everyone on this panel deserves to be heard,

(08:02):
and we will trust me. My daughter laid on a
floor for seven hours before somebody in that house recognized
that something was wrong, and that cure criminal. An hour later,
went on a spending spree with her debit card. When
they saw his face on a video, they didn't have
to do a check. He was arrested so many times

(08:24):
I knew who he was.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
He was quote known to police, folks known to police.
How many times have we heard this same scenario over
and over and over again, And every single time one
of these people offends, it's like, Oh, some left wing
nut job is coming out saying he's going to be
on the street.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Let him go.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
You're just being a racist. The guy could be white
as a sheet. Oh, you're being a racist. By enforcing
the law.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
They knew exactly where to go get him. Pathetic, absolutely
pathetic that I'm here today. Thank you for your time.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yes, sir, it is pathetic that you're there. It's pathetic
that our people have been put second, third, fourth behind criminal,
illegal aliens, illegal aliens, and domestic criminals, all the priorities
of the Democrat Party. The effort to bring some sort
of accountability to that anti American party, we talked to

(09:22):
a member of Congress, actually two of them coming up
next on the Salsado Storm podcast.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
And now a word from my sponsor.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
My friends, did Bidenomics in the left wing economy really
rock your world. Let American medical plans relieve one burden
health insurance. American Medical Plan specializes in under sixty five
health insurance plans that have zero copays and no deductibles.
You choose your doctors, you choose your hospitals. These plans
have nothing to do with your income and are thirty

(09:49):
to sixty percent less than Obamacare. If Obamacare has your
paying out the nose, call American medical plans. Don't let
these Marxists destroy one sixth the US economy and your
access to healthcare without a fight. You deserve better. You
deserve American medical plans the answer to the cancer that
is Obamacare.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Today, let's talk with one of my favorites in Congress,
congress Woman Beth Van Dyne, representing the twenty fourth Congressional
district in the Great State of Texas. She served as
the in the first Trump administration as the former mayor
of Irving, Texas, one of the few legislators on the
Hill with executive experience, congress Woman, welcome back.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Hey, good morning, Chris.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
How are you doing doing fine? I wanted to see
if you had gotten any updates from your office about
the breaking news in Dallas for Worth about this shooting
at an ice facility. Do you have any word?

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, we have. The three people were shot. They're in
critical condition. We know that the shooter was found with
a self inflicted gunshot wound. Right now, they're still looking
at motives on and there are. They have not released
as far as I know yet, the name of the shooter.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Okay, very well, we will if you guys have maybe
let your staff know, let us know if anything comes
the next hour, so we'll get an update out to
the folks. Meantime, Trump at the United Nations saying that
first off, they were missing in action on making all
of these piece deals that led to the resolution of
seven wars, some of them decades long wars, and also

(14:11):
that the United Nations, using money that our taxpayers had
to were forced to give the United Nations, using our money,
that the UN funded the illegal alien invasion of our country.
Your response, look, I think.

Speaker 3 (14:25):
He's absolutely right. You know, the UN has been worthless
for years now, and him calling them out and saying,
we want to be a part of this, we want
to be a member. I think putting Mike waltson is
a great idea. I'm excited to see what Mike is
going to be able to accomplish. But the fact is,
it seems like we've been working against here for a
number of years. Are more likely they're working against us.

(14:47):
I was just at the French embassy earlier this week
and we were having conversations about having the US States
to get more engaged. And the audience there was former
Biden administrators since seeing and reporters and political reports, you know,
folks from academia, so as you can imagine, it was
a lively conversation about how Trump is doing that you

(15:08):
know wrong, and I brought the fact that they said,
you know, Europe spends so much time virtue signally and
telling the US what it should be doing, while not
taking care of itself. And I brought that the idea
of energy and what they have been doing, you know,
Germany for example, closing down their nuclear plants, the Europeans
buying Russian oil. They can sit here and they can

(15:30):
tell us what we need to do as far as
writing checks to other nations. But the fact is is
that they're not doing much to be able to protect
their own interests. And I think Trump bringing up, you know,
the fact that you have Europeans who are you know,
europe countries who are purchasing energy, who are purchasing oil
from Russia, is it's it's enriching them, and it's pain

(15:50):
for these same wars that they want us to now
get involved and put money in against. Have one voice.
We all need to have one voice in this. And
when we sit here in it's too shame, you know,
on the United States. Is if we needed to be
more involved while they are sitting here, you know, supplying
dollars to terrorists there's a problem, and I appreciate the

(16:13):
fact that he was willing to call it out.

Speaker 1 (16:15):
YEP and A NATO countries believe it or not, funding
both sides of a war as the liberal leftist elites
in Europe who we find less and less in common
with every single day. They they profit off both sides
of that war as thousands die on both sides each week.
Congresswoman Folks, I can tell you she is a real

(16:36):
woman and she is a mom, so I think she's
going to be very qualified and also a common sense person,
very qualified to answer this next question. I'm going to
read something to you, Congresswoman. This is from Tailanoll's official
page in March of twenty seventeen. March seventh, twenty seventeen. Quote,
we actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant.

(16:58):
Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today.
And I want to put that out there in the
context of these left wing pregnant women that are jumping
online popping tailand all as a way to say, I'm
going to show you President Trump popping tailand all where
they have no fever. They're doing it. And of course

(17:18):
this after the Health and Human Services Secretary and the
President outlined possible ties to autism that the aced of
menafin may have ties to. They hate Trump more than
they love their babies. That's just a different level of
insanity to me.

Speaker 3 (17:36):
You look, I was a daughter of a doctor and
a nurse, and you know, it was kind of like
the Cooller's kids. You'd be fine to rub some dirt
on it when I was. When I was pregnant, I
did not take I did not appreciate taking in any medicine.
I still don't. You know, if it's that's necessary, that's fine.
But you won't even see me taking aspirin unless I

(17:59):
really really need it. I think anything that you put
it into your body that's a foreign substance is you know,
unless again, if it's necessary, we've got signs that that
box it. But we don't want to scare anybody, but
the same token, Can you all just use some common sense?
You know, these women who we are seeing doing exactly
what you're saying, you know, taking it just to be
able to say, oh, of yours, Donald Trump, what are

(18:21):
you proving? Do you not want to find out, you know,
whether or not any of these things that you're putting
into your body or causing harm. I would. I mean,
we're not scaring anybody. We're just simply saying we're going
to quote, follow the science and figure out because there
has been increases of autism, why let's just get down
to the bottom of it. You might have allergies. You

(18:43):
don't know what causes the allergies. The first thing you do
is you wipe out anything that could be potentially causing
an allergy, and then you start to, you know, take
them again. So you wipe out milk, you take out wheat,
and then you slowly start consuming it again. See, has
a problem. They're not saying that these are deadly, that

(19:04):
they are harmful. They're just saying that we're going to
look at them for potential harms. Yeah, and I think
that's a good thing. They're not doing what they did
during COVID and demanding that people stop it. They're not
taking it off the shelves. It's still your choice. But
in the meantime, before we start giving, you know, putting
our blessing behind it, we're going to add some science
and we're going to look at it.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Yeah, common sense says, Hey, if there's some indications here.
The research says there could be a linkage here, So
we want you to be aware. I don't. I'm not
the guy that runs out and says, well, let me
just tempt fate because I hate a Democrat or because
I hate a leftist. I'm not going to do that, right,
And I don't understand the mindset that would say, well,
I hate President Trump.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Same party, but this is the same party, and say
people of women who were taking the morning after pills
when they weren't even pregnant, right, it was for nothing
more than political theaters, exactly. This is a group that
we that we're dealing with.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
It's sick, it's sick and twisted. And this Trump derangement syndrome.
I said this on the NEWSMAC Show that if it
proves that that cedamnifin does have a tie to some
of these neurological disorders, autism or anything else has these
negative side effects, we may be seeing the first cases
of Trump derangement syndrome leading to the tragedy of autism.

(20:22):
And it's it's it's something I wouldn't even want to
gamble with. Folks. We're talking with Congressman Beth Van Dyne
twenty fourth Congressional district in the Great State of Texas.
Turning Point USA has just ink to deal with Oklahoma
State Superintendent of Schools Ryan Walters. He's announcing a partnership
with Turning Point USA to establish chapters in all Oklahoma

(20:46):
high schools. And I'm wondering, shouldn't Texas do the same thing.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
Yeah, looks, I think Turning Point you've already seen what's
happened under the uh, you know, under the back that
how I stay backlash. But yeah, with the attention eff
has been given after Charlie turked out, I'll tell you look,
Charlie had a tremendous effect on my son's life, his politics.

(21:14):
He actually saved up his own money, bought a plane
take it. Didn't even tell me apply to be part
of Turning Point in USA when he was in his teens.
In one words, cannot even really put into in my
mind how I felt. I literally it was just heartbreaking.
In the memorial service on Sunday, I think, you know,

(21:35):
people's souls are starting to to you know, starting to
heal again. But he looked at the effect that TP
USA has had the fastest growing now political and faith
based movement in the world. I think their chapter requests
have doubled, right from from sixty thousand now to one
hundred and twenty thousand just since the Memorial and his

(21:59):
you know Charlie starting to have twenty thousand chapters. It's
now five times that amount. And I think it shows
there's a revival in faith. I think there's a yearning,
especially among younger folks, you know, folks that are my
kid's age, to have Christ in their life and to
have meaning in their hearts. And it shows that the
violence as a radical left is really, in my mind,

(22:20):
being defeated by love. If we want to have those
turning points. I am so proud of this generation reaching out,
wanting to have those chapters, wanting to debate, wanting to
have those public discussions, wanting to show their faith, being
proud of it. I don't know that it needs to
be mandated. I think this is better than being mandated,

(22:42):
that this is actually legitimate. This is coming from the heart,
and it's being demanded. But it's being demanded by our
youth and by those chapters and by the schools.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Well. The reason I have the.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
Best way to get those chapters in there yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
The reason. And I think that to your point that
if you make it an option that everybody has that option,
you can't stand in the way of a turning point
USA Club coming on to the campuses, because you saw
what's going on in Houston where you have some left
wing kooks who were putting pressure on teachers, putting pressure
on students, and the Attorney General Ken Paxton, the conservative,

(23:16):
the only conservative candidate running for Senate, he is going
to show up to stand with these kids today to
say no, you're not going to let left wingers intimidate
and coercial you into not founding a chapter. And I
think that's that's the right approach. Yes, they should not
be allowed to stop these things. Yes, okay, all right,
all right, Well, I think.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
There's a difference. I think there's a difference between saying
they want to have a chapter, you can't prevent them
in saying you have to have a chapter.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
R right, Okay, Okay, I get you, I get you well,
And that leads me to the rhetoric on the left.
As you know, Jimmy Kimmel came back on the air
after saying some pretty stupid and hatefield things on his
on his program, which led to it being canceled temporarily.
He came back to an even smaller audience because there
are some television groups refusing to carry his program, and

(24:04):
he didn't apologize. And then you've got left wing rhetoric
that is not tamped down, as a matter of fact,
it's escalated. You've got Jasmine Crockett, your colleague in the
in the House, Rashida Talieb, also aoc elean omar. They're
all using the same political rhetoric that has made political
assassinations a sad reality in the United States, calling their

(24:26):
dehumanizing their political opponents fascists, hitler, whatever they're trying to pooh,
they're trying to sling. And I just I'm wondering why
there isn't a more forceful United opposition to these Democrats
and what they're doing to dehumanize your party.

Speaker 3 (24:47):
Well, I think there is. You know, if you go
to any of our any of the Republican Goop members
on social media, if you go to listen to our interviews,
if you go to things that we are writing that
we were saying on the floor, I think there is
a movement, and we have been stating over and over again,
that their words are wrong, that they should not be

(25:08):
saying them. We're fighting against them. But I think if
you also think about what Charlie Kirk was doing on
college campuses across the world, across the well, across the country,
is let's have those debates. Words do not kill. It's
people who choose weapons, people who killed. And it's you
know you're you had mentioned earlier. It was on where

(25:32):
you were during the break talking about how there's no
consequences anymore when people take action and we let them off,
when we don't persecute them, We don't prosecute them, we
don't even have put charges against them. What they learned
is there's no consequences that actually action is encouraged, because
why not. I'm angry and this is how I act out.

(25:53):
You can say words, but when your words turn into
actions is when we should absolutely prosecute you to the
full extent of the law. And that's not happening. We
are giving excuse after excuse after excuse, depending on where
you're born, depending on your color, depending on your religion,
depending on your age, and we are not holding people
accountable for their violent actions, and that has got to stop.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Well, to you.

Speaker 3 (26:16):
I agree one hundred percent with Charlie Kirk's message. We
need to be able to have these debates without feeling
that that we're risking being shot and what that exists
right now very loudly today.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Well, you've said all the right things, Congressoman Beth Van
Dyne as our guest right now, folks, twenty fourth Congressional
District in the great state of Texas, and I think
you're absolutely correct. And the idea that there are no
consequences for what these Democrats are doing when they do
step out of line, when they do step over that line,
when Republicans are held to and even higher and a

(26:51):
more punishing standard. Let me give an example of this.
And I think that this is fair to say that
a lot of Americans notice the Republicans, and we all
know you and I both know why. It's the Don
Bacons of the world. It's the Mike Lawlers of the world.
These fake Republicans, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, though their ilk
is what stops real accountability from happening. The GOP kicked out,

(27:15):
as you know, Republican George Santos from Congress. He was
accused at the time of a crime, but when Democrat
Jamal Bowman admitted his crime, the GOP didn't want to
kick him out. That the voters had to do that.
Right right now, you have a Democrat Congresswoman La Monica
mcgiver who was indicted on video evidence. You see her

(27:38):
roughing up ICE officers as we're dealing this morning, and
with breaking news DFW dealing with an attack on an
ICE facility just this morning. You've got a sitting member
of Congress who is on tape indicted for bringing violence
against a federal officer, yet no initiative for the Republicans
to remove her from office the way they did George Santos.

(28:00):
You've got a sitting Democrat, Congresswoman Delia Ramirez, who pledged
allegiance to a foreign country, Wuatemala, on foreign soil, and
I have to assume the GOP supports that because I
see nothing being done to address her what I would
consider traitorous conduct. You've got Yasmin I'm sorry, calling Trump

(28:20):
a dictator in the wake of two assassination attempts on him,
where we saw the guy that one of those assassination
attempts convicted yesterday in Florida and on the same day
Charlie Kirk was murdered. She said these things, and then
the Democrats wouldn't even allow a vote to honor a
Christian Conservative who was gunned down in the streets. I say,

(28:42):
because of their rhetoric. Do you understand that that the
reason why? And this is my opinion. You tell me
where I'm going wrong. The reason why political assassinations are
a reality is because Democrats have pushed and pushed and
pushed and never been brought to account by the Republican Party.

Speaker 3 (29:01):
I think again, when we look at words versus actions,
actions need to have consequences. Words can be used for debate.
I did not vote to kick Marjorie Taylor Green off
of for committees. I did not vote to kick George
Santos out of Congress because, quite honestly, those are decisions.
They are representative of their district. Those are decisions that
need to be made by the voters in their district,

(29:23):
not like us in Congress. I think that it's you
are basically taking the voice of that entire district, and
you're saying you don't count because we've decided that your
representative is not worthy. That is a decision The voters
make and if the voters want to take, which they
have done. Bowmen, perfect example your actions. You know we

(29:44):
don't approve of you don't represent our district. We're not
going to vote you in. But to tell an entire district,
you don't have a voice in Congress because the members
up here who that you don't represent have said something
that bothers us. I don't agree with that, and being
consistent means you do it for both the left and
the right. I voted on last week to censure on

(30:10):
alan Omar. I did not appreciate it, but I'm not
about to say you can't be in Congress. That has
to be a decision. I don't think she should be.
If I were in hiddistrict, I absolutely would not vote
for her.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
And I know you've got said yeah, I know you've
only got about a minute left with me, So I
got to just ask you this. Look, I think there's
a lot of wisdom in what you just said. Do
you believe that a sitting member of Congress should be
pledging allegiance to a foreign country?

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Absolutely not, It is absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (30:38):
And that's exactly my point, of course, not right, right, right,
what exactly Well, common sense. And then you know, there
is this this idea that hey, if a Democrat wants
to pledge allegiance to a foreign country, Uh, they have
every right to be in Congress. It's just words. No
that that that's that's the next level. But again, uh no,
it's not.

Speaker 3 (30:58):
Even it's not even just words that that is a
pack though, that you are pleasured to represent this district.
There is a pack that you are making with your voters,
and your voters have a right to be able to
decide that they have a right to be able to
have a voice in Congress. And again, if it was
Minus said I voted against you know, I voted this,
I'm sure her.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Well, but again, if the voters say that we ought
to have individuals who represent who declare they represent other
countries in Congress? Is is it Congress's obligation? Is that
the United States government's obligation to say, well, the people
in that district have spoken, and we must have somebody
dedicated to a foreign country in in our government. Or

(31:36):
isn't that a red line that should be drawn?

Speaker 3 (31:40):
That that is a red line that should be drawn.
I agree with you there, Okay, I don't know that
you're going to have, you know, the majority of seven
hundred and fifty thousand people, which is about what we
all represent. You know, believe that, and God blessed if
we do, then we have a lot bigger problems on
no kidding, I know you're facing right now.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
I know you got to scoop. Thank you very much.
I appreciate the time you came about Congressman Beth Van
Dyne twenty fourth Congressional District in Texas. We'll talk again soon.

Speaker 6 (32:04):
It's wrong, Benny. You'll never be able to sho me out, Chris,
because I'll never dehumanize any I hear that Joe Biden
your diagnosis. If I hear that Joe Biden gets a
terminal cancer diagnosis, I'll say a prayer for him. I'll
say that I hope he lives the rest of his
days painless. That's exactly what I said. In every person
that I know in respect, and I know them all

(32:26):
in my ecosystem said the same thing. Not a single
one of the words celebrated Ben. A single one of
us celebrated Joe Biden's terminal cancer diagnosis. Now I can
show you a endless series of TikTok and celebration posts
and T shirts made and celebrating this travesty. There is
a fundamental difference of those who glorify death on the left,

(32:49):
and it is dem He's.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Sick, and it's dark, and it needs to be, but
it needs to be. I hear you, Yeah, yeah, you
hear him, Fredo Cuomo. But you're not listening. You're not listening.
There is no equivalent. What was done to Charlie Kirk,
what was done to President Trump, what's been happening to conservatives,
there is no equivalent. The left wing is out of

(33:14):
control in this country, and now we know they are
willing to kill because they've spent years calling us fascists,
calling us hitler, calling us brown shirts, and saying that
we are the biggest threat to this country because we
disagree with them right, and now we know they're willing
to kill for it. And the Democrats are responsible for this, folks,

(33:36):
And you know who's allowed them to get away with this, Republicans.
Let's discuss this and many other things with our next guest,
Congressman Brandon Gill. He represents the twenty sixth Congressional District
in the Great State of Texas. Congressman.

Speaker 5 (33:49):
Welcome back, Hey Chris, thanks for having me on.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Pleasures all mind sir. Look, let me discuss first your
reflections of now that this country has endured a political
assassination from the left. And if we mark what happened
to Charlie Kirk, we have to mark what happened to
those Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses. They were also killed
by a radical left winger. Their crime was working with

(34:14):
Republicans as Democrats. The left is out of control in
my opinion, and this narrative, well, first off, the narratives
that Charlie Quirk is a racist that's been blown away,
this narrative that everybody does it. I want you to
address everything in its totality, the narratives that the left
wing is trying to push, and the tragedy we've just undergone.

Speaker 5 (34:36):
Yeah, you know, listen, there is a problem with political
violence in the United States. All political violence is wrong.
You and I would both agree with that one hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
I think.

Speaker 5 (34:49):
But the problem right now is not from both sides.
It is from the political left. I'll give you two examples. Recently,
there's a poll, a you gov poll. Don I think
it was earlier this week last week, but said that
roughly twenty five percent of people surveys who identify as
very liberal think that political violence can be justified or

(35:13):
is at least somewhat justified. Now that twenty five percent,
that's a huge number of people who identify as very liberal,
who believe that that number four conservatives is three percent.
You and I would both agree three percent is too many,
that's three percent too many. But twenty five percent is
a meaningful jump of people on the left. Saying that

(35:35):
we saw another Paul earlier this year, asking if respondents
believe that an assassination of President Trump could be justified,
fifty five percent of those are who identified as left
of center said yes. I mean those are astounding numbers.
Those should be terrifying to any American who believes in

(35:59):
free speech and wrote us debate and the ability to
have a constitutional republic. So the idea that this is
something that is equally an issue, I'm right, is beyond absurd,
and the left needs to realize that they need to
take stock of what they're actually the ideas that they're promoting,
the people that they're promoting, the rhetoric that they're using

(36:22):
against Republicans, and realize this stuff has real consequences. Mean,
if they want to live in a free society, a
constitutional republic, they need to deal with this.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Well, they won't because they're encouraging it. And you know,
let's you know this, and I'm going to get to
that in a minute. Let's deal with the narratives that
are that are springing up. Will take them one at
a time. You and I just addressed that both sides
do it narrative. That's narrative. That's not news, that's not factual.
Nobody believes it and reality tells us something otherwise. There's

(36:58):
also this idea that Charlie Kirk was a racist and
he was hate filled. How do you react?

Speaker 5 (37:05):
You know, we've heard this for decades, every single time
the Republicans we do anything. I mean, I was on
the floor just yesterday we were debating my bill which
ended up passing out of the House, which reforms sentencing
for juvenile criminals in Washington, d c. It allows them
to be tried as adults for some of the most

(37:26):
painous crimes. During that debate, the other side of the aisle,
of course, insinuated, but this was racially motivated that we
were trying to target black people, which is an absurd claim.
I mean, there's nothing we can do that they will
not look at from a racial lens and try to
paint to us as being racist, racially motivated, and eventually,

(37:50):
you know what people hear that may start to believe it,
and it's a problem. So this is something we've been
dealing with for a long time. We know that it's
not true. I think most Americans know that Republicans are
not racially motivated, that that's absurd that for instance, in
this case, we want to clean up our streets and
at criminals who are murdering and raping innocent Americans on

(38:14):
our streets off of our streets and throw them in jail.
But the left wants to reframe this. So this is
the huge form. Of course, Charlie Kirk was not a racist.
I mean, this is a guy who would go to
college campuses that the Lion the Lions did, I mean,
be surrounded by leftists and debate them on the good

(38:36):
ideas and all this is is just a way to
slander him, and then honestly it's kind of a way
to further legitimate Legitimi. It's a political assassination. You know,
whenever somebody dies, whenever somebody's murdered in cold blood, and
we have the video of it, it's on camera. We
know what the motivation was. We know it was politically motivated.

(38:58):
And you turn around and say, well, Charlie Kirk was
a bigot. Yeah, that kind of legitimizes. That's meant to
implicitly legitimize the murder. I mean that it is so sickening.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
And it's also something else to consider, Congressman, when they
say that your bill to punish juveniles who have committed
heinous crimes. When the Democrats say that it's racially motivated,
it's the Democrats saying that they believe that there's a
certain race that is prone to criminality. They are the racists,
not you. You're punishing the crime. They are assigning crime

(39:30):
to a race. It is they who are the racists.
And frankly, Republicans never make that argument. Never showed the
Democrats the mirror because they're afraid of pissing off the Democrats,
and our people are dying because of it. I'll get
to that in a second. Here's another narrative. How we
Kurtz on the Carl Rove Never Trump Network said that

(39:53):
gun deaths because Kirk said that gun deaths are a
sad reality, but worth it to keep a set amendment,
that that's somehow equal to the left wing violence we've
been we've been undergoing. Now, you and I both know
the argument that Charlie Kirk was trying to talk to
tell us, which is that when you have freedoms, there's

(40:14):
the greatest risk of having a free society is somebody
will abuse that freedom. That's what he was talking about.
We have the freedom to bear arms and to defend ourselves,
and there's there is going to be somebody out there
who will abuse that freedom. But the American way says
you punish the abuser, not get rid of the freedom
as a result. And how we Kurts of the Coral

(40:35):
Rove Never Trump Network couldn't fathom that. So he he
used as an example to say that Charlie Kirk was
quote no saint your reaction.

Speaker 5 (40:45):
You know, all this is is again using Charlie Kirk's
political ideas against him as a way to justify murdering.
That's the whole point of this onslaught of leftist attached
against Charlie Kirk. Why can't a normal, decent American right
now just look at this and say political assassinations are wrong.

(41:06):
I may disagree with Charlie Kirk. I may I may
think a lot of a lot of things that he
said were reprehensible, but political assassinations are evil and this
needs to end. That's it. That should be the response.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
It should be, and Americans.

Speaker 5 (41:22):
Will do something that you know whenever you're talking. In
this instance, basically the insinuation is that Charlie Kirk had
it coming to him. And Ilhan Omar, a member of Congress,
just a few days ago, we shared a video on
her social media saying exactly that, basically, Charlie Kirk had
it coming to him. You know, read what you say.

(41:45):
I mean this is this is stomach churning behavior. And
again this is coming from the left, it's not coming
from the right.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
You're right. Congressman Brandon gill Our guest right now, folks,
he represents the twenty sixth Congressional district here in the
great state of Texas. You took me right where I
wanted to go. Because Nancy Mace and Buddy Carter has
said that elan Omar's conduct is unbecoming a member of
Congress and wants to strip her of all of our

(42:14):
committee assignments. Now, if if this is a big if,
if Don Bacon and what's his name, the guy from
New York, Mike Lawler get the hell out of the way,
then maybe there will be some accountability for these Democrats.
But there has not been, And Congressmen, just bear with me.
I'm going to go down a laundry list here for you. Okay,
I've been doing this with all of your colleagues that

(42:37):
will are brave enough to come on the Salceados Show
and discuss this with me. This is the list I
believe that shows Republican timidity is the reason why Americans
now are dealing with political assassinations. Okay, the GOP kicked
out Republican George Santos, who was accused of a crime.

(42:59):
He was indicted for crime, and the Republicans said, that's unacceptable.
He's got to go, right, So they kicked out one
of their own, but Democrat Jamal Bowman, he admitted his
crime and no Republicans sought to throw him out right
now serving in Congress right now, Democrat Congressman mcgiver is

(43:20):
indicted on video evidence that she roughed up ice police officers. Right,
the GOP says, oh, we're not interested in kicking her out,
even though we kicked Santos out for being indicted. A
sitting Democrat Congresswoman Delia Ramirez and the aforementioned ilan Omar,
they have pledged allegiance to foreign nations Watemala for Delia

(43:43):
Ramirez and Somalia for ilan Omar. And so I have
to assume that you and your Republicans support having members
of Congress who say that they support foreign nations over
our country because nothing is being done about about them.
Democrat yasman On Sari calls Trump a dictator in the

(44:04):
wake of two assassination attempts on the same day that
Charlie Kirk is murdered and Democrats actually objected to a
prayer for Kirk, a conservative Christian who was gunned down
in this un American display of left wing political violence.
Doesn't your party need to show their voters that you
are willing to protect us from the extremism, this left

(44:26):
wing violence that they're dishing out, And doesn't it start
with holding the cheerleaders of all this violence the Democrat
Party accountable The.

Speaker 5 (44:35):
Short answer is yes, and I think it's actually a
little worse than you just described. Let me give you
the example of mcgivor. We voted last week or the
week before on a censure resolution that would censure her
on the House for we're not even talking about kicking
her out of Congress. This is a censure in saying
that if you're assaulting law enforcement officers, you probably shouldn't

(44:59):
serve on the House some way in Security Committee. That
seems like common sense to me. So this resolution comes
to the floor with Clay has I of course voted
for it to center her and a stripper upper Committee,
and we couldn't get it through the House. We didn't
have the votes for it. Of course, every Democrat voted
against them. We had a few Republicans who voted against it.

Speaker 3 (45:18):
As well, a.

Speaker 5 (45:20):
Vote for Congress hold on the floor.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Who are the Republicans.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
You'll have to go back and look. I don't remember
off the top of my head. I believe there's about
four or five of them.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Yeah, and see, and that's kind of the broader point.
They're not really Republicans, are they They're not really They're
not They're not really Republicans. Are they they're fakes. Wait
right here in our state, we have thirty five fake
Republicans who voted with forty nine leftists to install a
Democrat approved speaker in the Texas House so the Democrats
can continue to do their damage to our state of Texas.

(45:55):
We have got to, I mean, we got to stop
letting these.

Speaker 5 (45:59):
Republicans be more harsh about our own sides conduct than
we are about the other sides, and in significantly more
punitive to our own side than the others. It is
a double standard that we're seeing that our side is creating,
which thing We're going to punish us, but we're not
going to do anything about you guys. I mean, it's

(46:19):
so backwards to me.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
It is.

Speaker 5 (46:22):
You know, we well, hopefully we won't see this again.
But of course I co sponsored Nancy Mace's resolution to
censure ilhan Omar and the stript per of her committees
as well. That's a privileged motion. Well, we should be
voting on that sometime this week. I believe, I hope
that passes. I think that should be an easy, easy

(46:44):
vote for any Republican. It should be.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Yeah, well, let me let me ask you, do you
think it's appropriate for a member of Congress Delhia Ramirez
to go on foreign soil and pledge her loyalty to
Waatemala over the United State. Do you think that she
be she that that's appropriate conduct for a sitting member
of Congress.

Speaker 5 (47:06):
Of course not. I mean you we are we swear
an oath of allegiance to the United States, to the Constitution.
Here we represent the American people. And you know, this
is something that that Democrats get intentionally confused about. You
mentioned Yas and I'm sorry. She's a member of the
freshman class, which I mean, in fact, she's the president

(47:27):
of the Democrat caucus in the freshman class who's recently
explicitly stated that she represents illegal aliens in her district,
that illegal aliens are her constituents. I mean, that's a
fundamental problem with how Democrats view their responsibilities in Congress.
It's to represent groups who are not American. I it's you.

(47:53):
You're almost at a loss for words to under to
try to understand this mentality. But but this is what's
represent everybody, the interest of every person on the globe,
except for the people here.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Yeah, yeah, the people that elected you. And I guess
what I'm driving at, Congressman, is that you know the
Republican Party when you get the Mike Lawlers and the
Don Bacons of the world, the John Cornyans of the world,
the uh Lisa Murkowski's, the Mitch McConnell's, the individuals who
are allowing the Democrats to unleash their rhetoric to ennow

(48:30):
their political violence on this country. That the lack of
the Republican Party. They're they're willing to kick out George Santos,
but they're not willing to out Mike Lawler, or to
out Don Bacon, or to out any of these people
who are not really Republicans. And it's and it's not
an academic exercise anymore. Charlie Kirk is dead. Congressman. Charlie

(48:51):
Kirk is dead because of the activities of the Democrats
Socialist Party and because of their rhetoric, which I got
montage after montage after montag showing what they've been saying
about Republicans and Conservatives and President Trump for a decade now.
And it's not without consequence. And do you think that
conservatives are right to point out that the Republican Party

(49:14):
is ill equipped to defend.

Speaker 5 (49:15):
Us of course, I think that there is plenty of
room for criticism here. You know, I will say that
the shortly Kirk assassination I think was a huge wake
up call to the entire country. I mean, we've seen
a in my opinion, a seismic shift and awareness of

(49:36):
political violence because of this. In a way, I haven't
seen a political shift like this in a long, many,
many many years. And I think Republicans in Congress now
are waking up and realizing this is a problem. So
I'm hoping that this ilhan Omar resolution does pass the floor,
because it should. It's a just response to a member

(49:59):
of Congress saying that somebody who was politically as fascinated
had it coming to him. So, you know, I'm optimistic
we can get this through. But I again, I think
this should be an easy vote for us.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
I think you're right, Congressman. The reason why I go
down this I hope you and your staff will take
the interview. I said this to who was I was
talking to Buddy Carter yesterday. I'm hoping you'll take the interview,
go play it for your leadership, and play maybe because
I know you guys have these caucus meetings, play it.
Let Don Bacon hear his name, Let Mike Lawler hear
his name being invoked, and all the left wing Republicans

(50:34):
who are out there serving up their own constituents and
serving up this country to left wing political violence, let
them hear that we see them. And you know what,
I would just ask that you take this message to
the caucus. If you're going to protect these individuals who
are protecting leftists, Marxists and Democrats to unleash this unacceptable,
Unamerican behavior on us, then they ought to be called out.

(50:58):
If the Republican Party doesn't start standing up for its voters,
I fear for the future of the Republican Party because
I think you're right what you're observing about this movement
that the Americans are waking up, and the Republican Party
is not being seen as a solution anymore. They're being
seen as a hindrance toward us getting back to being America.

(51:20):
And it's something that your political leadership has to hear,
because when Americans start dying, Congressman, that's when I'm out.
That's when I will no longer be a cheerleader for
the Republican Party who has abandoned us and it's something
that Lawlor and Bacon and the rest of them need
to hear as well. Last words go to you.

Speaker 5 (51:40):
Yeah, listen. One thing that I will say is all,
if not the vast majority, if not all, of the
Republicans in Congress recognize the problem. Again, I think that
we should be able to get this task. We'll see
where the vote goes. I'm certainly going to be strongly
encouraging my colleague to vote vote for the central Resolution

(52:01):
of ilhan Omar and what also strips her of her committee.
But the reality is you cannot have a constitutional republic
in an environment where people are being politically assassinated for
their opinions. And that's what happened with Charlie Kirk. He
wasn't going after anybody, you know, he wasn't. There's no

(52:23):
violence on his part. Of course, he was sitting at
a table on a college campus debating people, which should
be the most safe place actually to debate people on
the merits of ideas, and he was assassinated. So you
cannot have a country under these conditions.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
Right, And I would submit to you it's inappropriate to
have members of Congress who pledge their loyalty to foreign countries.
I think that's I think that's a traitorous act. And
the fact that there are some Republicans who would like
the again, whoever would vote against kicking Delhia Ramirez out
of Congress, but because she shouldn't be there. If she

(53:02):
pledges loyalty to a foreign country, she shouldn't be there.
Same thing with Elon Omar, Same thing with Congressman mcgiver
who was getting violent with police officers. It is conduct unbecoming.
And if George Santos can be thrown out of Congress
for being accused of a crime, maybe it's time that
real Republicans told Mike Lawler and the rest of them that,

(53:24):
you know what, you should be equally applying those standards
to your good Democrat friends as well, and then that
Republican Party should be getting national going on programs saying hey,
what Mike Lawler did was unacceptable. He's not a real
Republican unless that starts happening. Congressman, I just really, I
really fear for the party because the people, the people

(53:47):
are not They don't we don't have faith in the
Republican Party to protect us anymore. We have faith in
President Trump. He's willing to act. We have faith in
the America First Coalition. They're willing to act. The Republicans
in Congress are very very close to being deemed irrelevant
by those who elected them, and that's a dangerous spot
to be.

Speaker 5 (54:06):
It is, and we're going to We're going to continue fighting,
all right.

Speaker 1 (54:09):
Hey, buddy, Look this was I know, this is this
is a These are a lot of tough concepts, but
it's uh, you can also take this back. I am
judging any politician on how well they defend me and
mine from leftists and these Marxist, these violent people in
our society. And that's the only criteria I have going
into the primaries. Congressman Brandon Gill, everybody, If folks want

(54:30):
to check out what you're about, sir, where can they go?

Speaker 5 (54:33):
If you can find me all over social media on
Twitter or act at Rep Brand and Gil also on
