Paul DeMarco on the Memphis Crime Crack dowm

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Paul de Marco in the studio with us here a
lots to talk about. I do want to talk to
you about the peace deal that's coming up. You know,
Monday's the deadline that you know, as they say, Hamas
is on the clock, so they got to get that done. Also,
what's going on with the National Guard. No in Illinois, Yes,
in Memphis. So we'll talk about that. But first I
want to start with this article that came out with

(00:20):
al dot com. Illegals are just you know, these sweet
people with you know, low level crimes. You know, the
majority of the crimes against them, we're real low levels basically,
you know, implicating and implying rather that I guess low
level doesn't count as crime, so we do. Why are
you worried about low level crime? It's unbelievable, you know.

(00:41):
I had this discussion with Chief Jerseys in Hoover. I said,
what's the difference between law enforcement and Birmingham and law
enforcement and Hoover. Why is it so prevalent in Birmingham
and there it seems to be not as prevalent in Hoover.
And I've talked to a number of different law enforcement
agency around the country about this too, And it comes

(01:01):
down to one thing. You have to have the heart
and the will to police. He goes, we don't tolerate crime,
low level, mid level, high level. We don't tolerate crime
in Birmingham. They kind of tolerate the little ones. No
charges here, slap on the risk. Go you know, just
don't wrap it up, don't get anymore. I don't want

(01:22):
to see you back in my car room now. No, no, listen,
you're you're okay, go on. I mean, I know your
background's tough. It's tough for you, so come here. Let
me give you a hug on the way out the door.
When you tolerate the little stuff, it ramps up to
medium stuff and then it just perpetuates.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
And I've heard that from a lat of law enforcement,
and that's why they'd rather go to the federal courthouse
or the huh when it comes to convictions. But let's
get back to this article. They don't I read the article,
then you get further down. It says violent criminals were
a small minority of those arrested, but that included two
point six for had been convicted of side or two

(02:00):
point six charge or convicted of homicide for killing somebody
two point six Yeah, then two percentage, yeah, then two
point six for sexual assault, and three point two percent
for weapons offenses and fifteen percent for dangerous drugs. But
they're ignoring that. I mean, that's not the headline, you
know what I'm saying. They're just like, oh, it's traffic offenses,
But what about all the victims of these crimes?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Right?

Speaker 2 (02:21):
But that just shows the theme of this article was
not like, hey, this president, this administration and customs, they're
going after the bad guys as well, and they get
they're getting bad guys, but that's they're not worried about that.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
There, Paul White, you hate illegals? I mean, come on,
that's really that's the gist from the Democrats. These people
are all about trying to make our society better by
helping us with the services in the crop fields and
helping us in the hotels and the service industry. You know,
there's a big portion of our service industry that are illegal,

(02:56):
so we've got to allow them to be here. We
just decided one day we're just not going to follow
federal immigration laws. I mean, what's the deal. So we're
good with that, I mean, and then you get the
policies of Biden. We certainly have seen that and happened
there and the number of violent criminals that have come across.
No need to try and hijack planes anymore. Just go
to the southern border during the Biden administration and walk across,

(03:17):
I mean from like all over the globe, not just Mexican.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
Tell that to the parents of Lake and Riley and
all those others who were murdered, right and so if
and somebody says, well, citizens commit murdered too, But if
you can catch these people who are in this country illegally,
who were also violent criminals, which was not done by
the previous administration, And that's the difference. This president is
doing that, and that's why they're so mad.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Well, it was part of his mandate and why he ran.
We're going to clean up the border. We're going to
stop the flow. It's not stopping legal immigration, we're just
stopping the flow of illegals. They're coming over here in
droves enough already. We're going to make American City safe again.
And now that process is underway here. When you look

(04:03):
what's going on in Illinois, they are really pushing back here.
Here is Governor Pritzker says he he's going to stand
in the way to block all of this.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
This is a convicted felon. I mean, think about that.
Who is threatening to jail me. I got to say,
this guy's unhinged, he's insecure. He's a wanna be dictator.
And there's one thing I really want to say to
Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come
through me, so come and get me.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Well that he does make a point there. Pritzker is
a big guy. He could stand to, you know, jump
on Ozembic. I'm just saying, you know, he's going to
have to come through him, and that would be a task.
But Donald Trump's no small guy either. But the thing
about that, you know, don't think that he's trying to
stand up for his citizens and chaos will erupt because
the National Guards here. That's going to make it even

(04:54):
worse than what's happening in Chicago. Really, you know, there's
eight hundred million dollars coming from the Fed to fight
crime in the state of Illinois. If Trump comes in
there and calms crime down, guess what now, all of
a sudden, you don't need the eight hundred million dollars
in here to fight crime anymore because the president took
care of business. So we're going to stop the flow
of the eight hundred million. You can't have that with

(05:15):
Democrats in power. They got to have that money for
what is the question?

Speaker 2 (05:20):
He is a terrible governor. He's more worried about running
for president than crime victims or public safety. He's horrible
in the fact that he is willing to sacrifice his
own citizens for his political campaign and hatred of Donald
Trump is disgusting. He's terrible. He's one of the worst
governors in the country. But again him and the mayor
of Chicago, public safety or secondary to going after Donald Trump.

(05:47):
It's as simple as that.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Here's Trump on Chicago. This was in the cabinet meeting yesterday.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Crime members in Chicago there through the roofs, and I
have a government stands up every day and tells us
how wonderful Chicago is.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
Just a lie.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Democrat governor, I'd be saying, whatever you can do to
get crime down, I'll take anybody.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
I went to the president in the cabinet there to
start talking about the money that's flowing into Chicago under
the quote unquote guys of fighting crime money. Here's eight
hundred million dollars. Where's that going other programs in the
state and city? Is it going to where it should
be going? Is somebody making a little bit on the
side on this and positions there? I mean the Assistant

(06:31):
Secretary Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin talking about Trump's ultimately going
to prevail in all this.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Well, we had the law and we had the constitution
on our side. So I think that we will win
the day in this in law and order will win
the day in this. Secretary Nome was just on the
ground in Portland. She was also on the ground in Chicago,
and not only did she visit those facilities that have
been under siege and those sanctuary city jurisdictions, but also
she met the men and women who are going out
there every single day. They're facing violent I do think.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Trump prevails in all this too. In Memphis, now apparently
Illinois back up there for a second. The judge jumped
in there temporarily blocking Trump's attempt to send the National
Guard there for fourteen days. I don't know why he
says there's no real evidence of rebellion in Illinois. I mean,

(07:21):
our crime's fine. We don't need to worry about it
and deploying the Guard would likely cause civil unrest. So
having the National Guard to come in to help with
crime would actually make it worse than the crime as already.
That's the message. Really, well, not so fast. Over in Memphis,
they said no, no, come on, let's go. The governor there,

(07:42):
Bill Lee, and Tennessee, he approved one hundred and fifty guardsmen.
He's going to join the task force, thirteen federal agencies,
state and agencies. In Memphis police department, they're tired of
it there. It's bad in Memphis.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
Horrible in Memphis. And today's the first day of the
National Guard are going in, I believe, and so hopefully
we'll see a difference. And I know folks that live
up there and they're like, it has been horrible. I mean,
it's been just horrib and this, I mean it's been
going on for years up in Memphis. So maybe this
will make a difference.

Speaker 1 (08:08):
I love how the city is kind of like, yeah,
you know, but hey, you know, we're doing better, sixteen
percent dropping crime last year. Wait a minute, So if
you have three hundred and fifty murders and you're down
what down to three hundred, that's good. You're still I mean,
you're the numbers are still out of control. Your percentages
don't mean deadly when they're bad, not.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
When it's so high. I mean Memphis, I think it
was right number one in the country, right up there
with the Oh it's worse than here, the most dangerous
city in the country.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Every survey you see, they're always in the top three
as far as crime goes.

Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yeah, it's been horrible.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
That's rough.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
It's been horrible. So hopefully this will make a difference.
But they also have to have judges willing to sentence
and put people into and prosecutors, so there's that part
of it as well. It's not just about law enforcement,
right right, once you arrest them, you have to do
something with them.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
One hundred percent. All right, I want to get your
thoughts on what's going on with the ceasefire here is
You were listening to one of our guests we had
on earlier, and he said, I asked, he lives in
Israel and former mayor of Shilah, Israel. His son was
they were attacked by terrorists and his son, thank God,
lived through all this. But uh, he said that he's

(09:18):
not really that extactic about what's happening here with the ceasefire?
And he goes, look, yeah, I'm glad people aren't dying anymore.
Yes on the service. Yeah, but I got to tell
you we didn't finish it, and you know, you think
about it. Did Hamas kind of get off a little
bit and on facing the most serious consequences of annihilation?

(09:39):
You know, do you look at this? Does Hamas look
at this? Go all right, look, we slaughtered a lot
a lot of people in Israel, so terrorism, you know,
put us down for one there, and you know they
had those hostages forever, and the war went on for
two years. But you know, I got to think Hamas
is thinking we got kind of a win here. Let's
just go ahead and agree with this, and now we'll

(10:00):
just regroup and come back later.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Well that's the concern. I was in Israel a few
months before October the seventh and went to some of
these books. In these communities right on the border, I mean,
they have bomb shelters. I mean you don't want to
would you imagine that we l passo or that some
of the border that makes you had to live in
a bomb shelter because your neighbors might shoot missiles over
with you or at some point can't come over and
kidnap you. I mean, so that's the real question about

(10:24):
lasting peace and are they going to regroup? And if
you're this is going to own and own and own
and own. So I mean think that everybody's glad to
get these hostages back and unfortunately that in the bodies
of those that were murdered. Right, But are we going
to be back at this again? Yes, And that's the
ultimate question, is when you have peace or they're just

(10:45):
going to regroup.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, not till Jesus comes back. Biblically, this has been
going on since you know, biblical days. I mean, and
we'll continue. And the scripture says until the return of Christ.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
Is the border up in Lebanon they destroyed has Bull
remember the pagers they did, they assassinated all the leadership,
so everyone they did move back to the border with
Lebanon and it is peaceable up there. Well, let's not
have a question with Gaza.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Yeah, well have you seen Gaza lately? I mean, it's
leveled basically here. Let's not forget Donald Trump's first term
got rid of ices, it was over, They're done. Guess
who's back they're not going it's like, whack them all.
It's in their DNA. I don't know if you've seen
the new set Denish de Suza's new movie about this

(11:33):
whole thing. It's available, that's out there. Dragon's Prophecy. Check
it out. Denish de Suza's new film ninety minutes long,
and there's footage of Hamas going into Israel the day
this took place two years ago, October seventh, and I
watched about an hour of the ninety minutes and I

(11:56):
want to finish it up this weekend. But if you'll
check this movie out, these people, these young men part
of Hamas, get on their cell phones and call their parents, Dad,
I just killed seven of them. And you hear the
father telling the wife he's a hero. He killed seven
of them. I mean, this is what's embedded in their brains,
in their DNA. They're not going to go away forever.

Speaker 2 (12:18):
And we should be concerned in our own country and
downtown New York City, in the middle of New York City,
you have this Islamist waiving Hama's flag saying we did
that act enough. We will show up stronger than we
did the first October seventh, strong where in Israel in
the United States? Have you seen around the country. In
Boston you had this protesters supporting Hamas. Look, I'm supporting

(12:41):
terrorists who won't all.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Of us we need to I'll tell you what we needed.
Anybody that's anti American supports terrorist groups in this country.
First Amendment has limits. Okay, I'm sorry if you're doing that. No,
you're anti American, You're out. I don't understand why these
anti Americans are in Congress. I know, allow them to
be delected in their districts and Sharia law and dearborn

(13:03):
Michigan that needs to be banned. I mean, what are
we doing allowing this in the United States of America?
People to come in here and flat out flip birds
at us and say we want to kill you. And
we're having Sharia law, local law enforcement. We're in charge
you or not?

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Who what? Look at London. If you don't think you
should be worried about it, I know, if you don't
think that they want that they want this. These pro
homos don't want this in our country, You're you're mistaken. Lists.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
The Nation of Islam has made it real clear that
at the end of the day, they want to be
ruled in the world, not Christianity, you know. And these
protesters in this country, you know, they're all about you know,
freedom or religion until you're a Christian.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
They were celebrating the murders on October of the seventh
in downtown New York City.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
This you've seen, dearborn Michigan. Oh yes, it's the whole
city is run by waving Yeah, I forget it.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
I'm not in the United States of America.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
All right, Well, I think we're on the right track.
Donald Trump's trying to clean it up and all these
libs out there, well, no, you can't do that. I'm
telling you. It's a it's a spiritual warfare going on
between light and darkness here, and those people out there
are still waving these flags. You're on the wrong side
of this, and God will prevail.

Speaker 2 (14:14):
Look at the genocide of Christians in Africa. That's a
whole other yeah,
