  • Want to hear him in his own words.
  • 00:00:21.878 --> 00:00:23.413
  • Here let me find our handy dandy cut sheet here.
  • 00:00:23.413 --> 00:00:26.916
  • Here it is.
  • 00:00:26.916 --> 00:00:28.384
  • President donald trump took to the press briefing room
  • 00:00:28.384 --> 00:00:30.954
  • Early on a monday morning to make the announcement,
  • 00:00:30.954 --> 00:00:34.624
  • Saying that enough of this crime
  • 00:00:34.624 --> 00:00:37.760
  • And the third world ification of washington, dc,
  • 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:41.431
  • We're not going to put up with it.
  • 00:00:42.198 --> 00:00:44.467
  • Let's play.
  • 00:00:44.467 --> 00:00:45.001
  • Cut 304.
  • 00:00:45.001 --> 00:00:46.870
  • Today we're
  • 00:00:46.870 --> 00:00:48.838
  • Declaring public safety emergency
  • 00:00:48.838 --> 00:00:50.874
  • In the district of columbia.
  • 00:00:50.874 --> 00:00:52.175
  • And attorney general pam bondi, who's fantastic, is taking
  • 00:00:52.175 --> 00:00:56.045
  • Command of the metropolitan police department.
  • 00:00:56.045 --> 00:00:59.782
  • As of this moment.
  • 00:00:59.782 --> 00:01:01.751
  • And i'll be making the appropria
  • 00:01:01.751 --> 00:01:05.054
  • Now, the 1973 home rule act for dc
  • 00:01:05.822 --> 00:01:08.525
  • Explicitly allows the president
  • 00:01:08.525 --> 00:01:10.460
  • To take control of washington, dc police for 48 hours,
  • 00:01:10.460 --> 00:01:13.663
  • No questions asked, as long as he believes
  • 00:01:13.663 --> 00:01:15.698
  • That, quote, special conditions of an emergency nature exist.
  • 00:01:15.698 --> 00:01:19.269
  • President trump says that's the case
  • 00:01:19.269 --> 00:01:20.837
  • And that dc has a public safety emergency.
  • 00:01:20.837 --> 00:01:23.907
  • Now, in addition, the president can keep dc
  • 00:01:23.907 --> 00:01:26.509
  • Police federalized for up to 30 days
  • 00:01:26.509 --> 00:01:29.245
  • As long as he notifies congress and explains why right
  • 00:01:29.245 --> 00:01:32.782
  • Now, 30 days is the cap unless congress
  • 00:01:32.782 --> 00:01:35.151
  • Passes a new law,
  • 00:01:35.151 --> 00:01:36.219
  • But said it's not clear that
  • 00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:37.287
  • Anything that stops president trump
  • 00:01:37.287 --> 00:01:38.922
  • From controlling the police for 30 days,
  • 00:01:38.922 --> 00:01:41.157
  • Surrendering power for a day, and then federalized
  • 00:01:41.157 --> 00:01:44.227
  • Them again.
  • 00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:45.328
  • But there may be other arguments.
  • 00:01:45.328 --> 00:01:46.396
  • Mike davis was recently arguing
  • 00:01:46.396 --> 00:01:47.964
  • That dc home rule act itself is unconstitutional.
  • 00:01:47.964 --> 00:01:50.466
  • We'll have to wait and see what the arguments are there.
  • 00:01:50.466 --> 00:01:52.702
  • But the legal questions aside is why is trump doing this?
  • 00:01:52.702 --> 00:01:55.738
  • You could say, quite reasonably,
  • 00:01:55.738 --> 00:01:57.073
  • He has a lot on his plate.
  • 00:01:57.073 --> 00:01:57.974
  • He's going to go, by the way, sit down
  • 00:01:57.974 --> 00:01:59.842
  • With vladimir putin in alaska this friday.
  • 00:01:59.842 --> 00:02:03.213
  • He's trying to fix gaza.
  • 00:02:03.213 --> 00:02:04.581
  • He's doing deportations and tariff
  • 00:02:04.581 --> 00:02:06.149
  • Negotiations and a lot more.
  • 00:02:06.149 --> 00:02:07.584
  • So why is he looking to micromanage the nation's
  • 00:02:07.584 --> 00:02:11.421
  • Capital?
  • 00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:12.455
  • Ronald reagan ignored our our nation's capital.
  • 00:02:12.455 --> 00:02:15.058
  • George w bush ignored our nation's capital.
  • 00:02:15.058 --> 00:02:17.193
  • Bill clinton ignored our nation's capital.
  • 00:02:17.193 --> 00:02:19.162
  • George w bush ignored our nation's capital.
  • 00:02:19.162 --> 00:02:21.197
  • Barack obama ignored our nation's
  • 00:02:21.197 --> 00:02:22.799
  • Capital, and joe biden ignored our nation's capital. why?
  • 00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:26.603
  • Because it's easy to ignore our nation's
  • 00:02:26.603 --> 00:02:28.304
  • Capital are just homeless people, slums being slums and
  • 00:02:28.304 --> 00:02:31.808
  • Slumlords being slumlords.
  • 00:02:32.375 --> 00:02:34.010
  • And that's okay if it has a higher crime rate
  • 00:02:34.010 --> 00:02:36.512
  • Than mexico city and bogota and islamabad.
  • 00:02:36.512 --> 00:02:40.450
  • No, it's actually not okay.
  • 00:02:40.450 --> 00:02:43.686
  • President donald trump has always been
  • 00:02:43.686 --> 00:02:45.855
  • A person very aware of symbolism.
  • 00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:49.192
  • He's very visual.
  • 00:02:49.626 --> 00:02:52.829
  • He cares a lot about the trappings of the presidency.
  • 00:02:52.829 --> 00:02:54.998
  • That's why he liked putting on the military parade
  • 00:02:54.998 --> 00:02:57.166
  • This summer, one that i supported.
  • 00:02:57.166 --> 00:02:58.835
  • It's why he wants to build a big ballroom
  • 00:02:58.835 --> 00:03:01.170
  • On white house grounds.
  • 00:03:01.170 --> 00:03:02.338
  • A great nation should have a great presidential ballroom.
  • 00:03:02.338 --> 00:03:06.276
  • So it really impacts president trump
  • 00:03:07.043 --> 00:03:08.811
  • To see the reality of our nation's capital city.
  • 00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:11.714
  • We're supposed to be the world's greatest
  • 00:03:11.714 --> 00:03:13.349
  • Superpower, the leader of the free world.
  • 00:03:13.349 --> 00:03:15.218
  • So why is our capital a joke, a mess, a disgrace?
  • 00:03:15.218 --> 00:03:19.055
  • In 2023 washington, d.c., washington, d.c.
  • 00:03:19.055 --> 00:03:22.258
  • Had 274 murders in a city
  • 00:03:22.258 --> 00:03:24.894
  • With a population of only 700,000 people.
  • 00:03:24.894 --> 00:03:28.231
  • That's a murder rate of 39 per 100,000.
  • 00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:32.001
  • That's nearly the murder rate of south africa,
  • 00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:34.704
  • Where we're now taking refugees from.
  • 00:03:34.704 --> 00:03:36.172
  • Just so we're clear.
  • 00:03:36.172 --> 00:03:36.973
  • And we shot in 2024.
  • 00:03:36.973 --> 00:03:38.908
  • Murders were down,
  • 00:03:38.908 --> 00:03:40.510
  • But the murder rate was still 27 per 100,000.
  • 00:03:40.510 --> 00:03:45.248
  • That's higher than the murder rate of mexico.
  • 00:03:45.248 --> 00:03:47.784
  • And it's four times the us national average.
  • 00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:50.753
  • Even if crime is dropping, the lower rates are still
  • 00:03:50.753 --> 00:03:53.656
  • A complete and total humiliation and disgrace.
  • 00:03:53.656 --> 00:03:57.894
  • Let's play cut 307.
  • 00:03:58.361 --> 00:04:01.064
  • We're formally declaring a public safety emergency.
  • 00:04:01.064 --> 00:04:04.734
  • This is an emergency.
  • 00:04:04.734 --> 00:04:05.902
  • This is a tragic emergency.
  • 00:04:05.902 --> 00:04:09.238
  • And it's embarrassing for me to be up here.
  • 00:04:09.238 --> 00:04:11.140
  • You know, i'm going to see putin.
  • 00:04:11.140 --> 00:04:12.408
  • I'm going to russia on friday.
  • 00:04:12.408 --> 00:04:15.345
  • I don't like being up here talking about how unsafe
  • 00:04:15.345 --> 00:04:17.980
  • And how dirty and disgusting this once beautiful capital
  • 00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:22.485
  • Was, with graffiti all over the walls.
  • 00:04:22.485 --> 00:04:25.355
  • Just another part of it, by the way,
  • 00:04:25.355 --> 00:04:27.623
  • Because we're talking about safety,
  • 00:04:27.623 --> 00:04:29.125
  • But we're also talking
  • 00:04:29.125 --> 00:04:30.193
  • About beautification. we have the most beautiful
  • 00:04:30.193 --> 00:04:31.894
  • Potentially capital in the world.
  • 00:04:31.894 --> 00:04:33.629
  • We always had.
  • 00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:35.631
  • But people come from iowa, they come from indiana,
  • 00:04:35.631 --> 00:04:38.301
  • They come and then they get mugged.
  • 00:04:38.301 --> 00:04:40.370
  • Not going to happen keep coming because within, by the time
  • 00:04:40.370 --> 00:04:43.072
  • You get your trip, said it's going to be safe again
  • 00:04:43.072 --> 00:04:46.342
  • And it's going to be clean very quickly.
  • 00:04:46.342 --> 00:04:49.078
  • Think of all the high schoolers that go to washington, d.c.
  • 00:04:49.078 --> 00:04:51.914
  • For the first time. what are we putting on display?
  • 00:04:51.914 --> 00:04:54.417
  • Why is it that tokyo, new delhi,
  • 00:04:54.417 --> 00:04:58.254
  • Havana, cuba
  • 00:04:58.588 --> 00:05:01.858
  • Are safer than washington, d.c.?
  • 00:05:01.858 --> 00:05:05.061
  • Substantially safer.
  • 00:05:05.061 --> 00:05:06.996
  • You can walk the streets of tokyo at night.
  • 00:05:06.996 --> 00:05:09.098
  • You can walk the streets of seoul, south korea at night.
  • 00:05:09.098 --> 00:05:11.200
  • You walk the streets of kuala lumpur.
  • 00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:14.637
  • You can walk the streets of singapore.
  • 00:05:14.637 --> 00:05:17.240
  • But the fact that you cannot
  • 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:18.741
  • Walk the streets of washington, dc
  • 00:05:18.741 --> 00:05:21.644
  • Or new york city or chicago
  • 00:05:22.245 --> 00:05:23.946
  • Is an indictment and a failure of our ruling class.
  • 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:27.049
  • Our ruling class has cared more about sending javelins
  • 00:05:27.049 --> 00:05:29.652
  • And missiles to ukraine while they have to walk over
  • 00:05:29.652 --> 00:05:33.222
  • Drug overdose bodies on the way to go make a vote on
  • 00:05:33.222 --> 00:05:37.293
  • The senate floor.
  • 00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:38.428
  • Dc has long been ignored and it is a perfect example
  • 00:05:38.428 --> 00:05:41.330
  • Of national decay, of collapse of the lower morale.
  • 00:05:41.330 --> 00:05:46.169
  • Oh, it doesn't matter. it does matter.
  • 00:05:46.169 --> 00:05:48.171
  • Roll in the tanks.
  • 00:05:48.171 --> 00:05:49.672
  • Bring in the drones. send in.
  • 00:05:49.672 --> 00:05:51.707
  • The marines were federalized in washington, dc.
  • 00:05:51.707 --> 00:05:54.110
  • More in a second.
  • 00:05:54.110 --> 00:05:57.480
  • It's right over israel's border.
  • 00:05:58.214 --> 00:06:00.416
  • There are thousands of christians and druze
  • 00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:02.819
  • Who are being targeted and killed.
  • 00:06:02.819 --> 00:06:04.720
  • I'm going to close the door.
  • 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:06.389
  • Your vision.
  • 00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:08.491
  • But for us, the fellowship cannot stand by and watch.
  • 00:06:08.491 --> 00:06:12.628
  • We are sending aid in.
  • 00:06:13.095 --> 00:06:15.465
  • Most of the world is oblivious to what's happened
  • 00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:18.301
  • To thousands of people who have lost their lives.
  • 00:06:18.301 --> 00:06:21.938
  • No food, no medicine.
  • 00:06:21.938 --> 00:06:26.242
  • We're standing in the middle of america
  • 00:06:27.043 --> 00:06:29.912
  • Who will be in the hands of jews and christians alike.
  • 00:06:29.912 --> 00:06:34.617
  • I'm proud of the international fellowship of christians
  • 00:06:34.617 --> 00:06:37.620
  • And jews to reach inside these most hostile territories
  • 00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:41.257
  • And save human lives, wherever it's needed.
  • 00:06:41.257 --> 00:06:45.428
  • We will continue to save lives of our brothers and sisters.
  • 00:06:45.428 --> 00:06:49.065
  • We will continue to give hope.
  • 00:06:49.065 --> 00:06:52.301

  • 00:06:52.301 --> 00:06:57.406
  • I'm terry hinshaw with 180 disaster relief
  • 00:06:58.307 --> 00:07:01.444
  • Since 2013 and the moore tornado.
  • 00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:04.747
  • We've been helping families in crisis.
  • 00:07:04.747 --> 00:07:07.250
  • People who go through floods, fires,
  • 00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:09.752
  • Hurricanes and all kinds of disasters
  • 00:07:09.752 --> 00:07:12.922
  • With plans to lift the fallen
  • 00:07:12.922 --> 00:07:15.491
  • In a world that's for the poor.
  • 00:07:15.491 --> 00:07:18.294
  • Since the day after hurricane helene,
  • 00:07:18.294 --> 00:07:20.229
  • We've had boots on the ground.
  • 00:07:20.229 --> 00:07:21.797
  • It is so important
  • 00:07:21.797 --> 00:07:22.732
  • Because there's
  • 00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:23.566
  • So many families waiting right now
  • 00:07:23.566 --> 00:07:25.401
  • That still don't even have power.
  • 00:07:25.401 --> 00:07:27.169
  • They've lost all their furniture
  • 00:07:27.169 --> 00:07:28.971
  • And they don't have the resources to rebuild
  • 00:07:28.971 --> 00:07:31.641
  • Families finding shelter where there once was only pain.
  • 00:07:31.641 --> 00:07:36.445
  • Our focus is to help people understand
  • 00:07:36.445 --> 00:07:39.081
  • How much god loves and cares for them.
  • 00:07:39.081 --> 00:07:41.684
  • That they would know that they're not alone.
  • 00:07:41.684 --> 00:07:44.153
  • Go to the website at the bottom of your screen to give now.
  • 00:07:44.153 --> 00:07:47.290
  • Every dollar makes a difference.
  • 00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:49.659
  • Bringing hope in jesus name.
  • 00:07:49.659 --> 00:07:52.495
  • Together we can turn devastation into restoration.
  • 00:07:52.495 --> 00:07:56.299
  • One family at a time.
  • 00:07:56.299 --> 00:07:58.003
  • One family at a time.
  • 00:07:58.003 --> 00:08:01.807
  • I want to play another piece of tape here of president
  • 00:08:02.841 --> 00:08:05.377
  • Donald trump announcing the takeover of washington dc.
  • 00:08:05.377 --> 00:08:10.616
  • And understand this.
  • 00:08:11.083 --> 00:08:12.551
  • You get what you put up with.
  • 00:08:12.551 --> 00:08:14.987
  • There are political issues you can control
  • 00:08:14.987 --> 00:08:17.890
  • And there are political issues you cannot control.
  • 00:08:17.890 --> 00:08:20.693
  • And what is most frustrating
  • 00:08:21.293 --> 00:08:22.828
  • About the current american moment
  • 00:08:22.828 --> 00:08:25.564
  • Is that we are overwhelmingly met with political issues
  • 00:08:25.564 --> 00:08:28.500
  • That we can control.
  • 00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:30.102
  • Our failure is an act of the will or a lack of the will
  • 00:08:30.102 --> 00:08:34.540
  • When it comes to crime.
  • 00:08:35.040 --> 00:08:36.342
  • We saw this on the southern border.
  • 00:08:36.342 --> 00:08:38.043
  • All you had to do was have it make a decision
  • 00:08:38.043 --> 00:08:40.613
  • That you wanted a border.
  • 00:08:40.613 --> 00:08:42.081
  • We were told by james lankford from oklahoma, well, you know,
  • 00:08:42.081 --> 00:08:45.784
  • We need to have some bipartisan deal
  • 00:08:45.784 --> 00:08:47.519
  • That allows 5000 people a day to come across wrong.
  • 00:08:47.519 --> 00:08:51.090
  • You need to have the willpower.
  • 00:08:51.090 --> 00:08:53.359
  • You need to dive deep and dig deep to have the fortitude,
  • 00:08:53.359 --> 00:08:58.230
  • The wherewithal, the spine, the cajones.
  • 00:08:58.230 --> 00:09:02.201
  • We're going to be removing homeless encampments
  • 00:09:02.201 --> 00:09:05.004
  • From all over our parks, our beautiful, beautiful parks,
  • 00:09:05.004 --> 00:09:08.474
  • Which now a lot of people can't walk on.
  • 00:09:08.474 --> 00:09:11.510
  • They've been very, very dirty, very,
  • 00:09:11.510 --> 00:09:14.713
  • They got a lot of problems.
  • 00:09:14.713 --> 00:09:17.850
  • But we've already started that.
  • 00:09:17.850 --> 00:09:19.218
  • We're moving the encampments
  • 00:09:19.218 --> 00:09:20.919
  • Away, trying to take care of people,
  • 00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:23.956
  • Getting rid of the people from underpasses
  • 00:09:23.956 --> 00:09:26.158
  • And public spaces from all over the city.
  • 00:09:26.158 --> 00:09:28.861
  • There are many places that they can go,
  • 00:09:28.861 --> 00:09:31.797
  • And we're going to help them as much as you can help.
  • 00:09:31.797 --> 00:09:34.333
  • But they'll not be allowed
  • 00:09:34.333 --> 00:09:35.668
  • To turn our capital into a wasteland.
  • 00:09:35.668 --> 00:09:38.671
  • Washington, d.c.
  • 00:09:38.671 --> 00:09:39.738
  • Has become a dumping ground for the third world
  • 00:09:39.738 --> 00:09:41.740
  • And a safe haven for criminals.
  • 00:09:41.740 --> 00:09:43.475
  • That is our nation's capital.
  • 00:09:43.475 --> 00:09:44.777
  • We're not talking about the liberation of toledo,
  • 00:09:44.777 --> 00:09:47.112
  • Ohio, of course,
  • 00:09:47.112 --> 00:09:48.213
  • Which we should try to liberate all american cities.
  • 00:09:48.213 --> 00:09:50.582
  • This is not the liberation of portland, which we should do.
  • 00:09:50.582 --> 00:09:53.485
  • This is our nation's capital.
  • 00:09:53.485 --> 00:09:55.254
  • And do you know how disgusting it is when i drive the city,
  • 00:09:55.254 --> 00:09:59.291
  • The streets of dc
  • 00:09:59.291 --> 00:10:01.660
  • And you
  • 00:10:01.894 --> 00:10:02.728
  • Pass the saudi embassy, for example,
  • 00:10:02.728 --> 00:10:05.497
  • Big, beautiful building,
  • 00:10:06.031 --> 00:10:08.400
  • And there's just homeless encampments all around it.
  • 00:10:08.400 --> 00:10:11.103
  • It's embarrassing.
  • 00:10:11.103 --> 00:10:12.638
  • So you have to basically we have to accept that
  • 00:10:12.638 --> 00:10:15.941
  • The sheikhs of qatar and the ruling class of saudi
  • 00:10:15.941 --> 00:10:18.977
  • Arabia and the prime minister of japan, they see what we see.
  • 00:10:18.977 --> 00:10:23.215
  • And it's humiliating.
  • 00:10:23.215 --> 00:10:25.350
  • They see this.
  • 00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:26.652
  • We're supposed to believe that these foreign leaders,
  • 00:10:26.652 --> 00:10:28.620
  • You go down embassy row, row in georgetown, you go down
  • 00:10:28.620 --> 00:10:32.725
  • Embassy row in washington, dc, and you got one.
  • 00:10:32.725 --> 00:10:35.561
  • After you got spain, you got portugal,
  • 00:10:35.561 --> 00:10:38.063
  • You got croatia one after the other.
  • 00:10:38.063 --> 00:10:40.766
  • Boom, boom, boom.
  • 00:10:40.766 --> 00:10:42.434
  • They see the graffiti.
  • 00:10:42.434 --> 00:10:43.769
  • It's not a good look for a superpower.
  • 00:10:43.769 --> 00:10:45.938
  • And we're just supposed to put up with it
  • 00:10:45.938 --> 00:10:47.139
  • Because we're afraid of being called racist.
  • 00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:49.007
  • That that dog doesn't hunt anymore.
  • 00:10:49.007 --> 00:10:51.610
  • We need order.
  • 00:10:51.610 --> 00:10:52.945
  • You don't live in a nation.
  • 00:10:52.945 --> 00:10:54.513
  • If you can't walk the streets of san francisco at night,
  • 00:10:54.513 --> 00:10:57.516
  • You don't live in a country when young teenage
  • 00:10:57.516 --> 00:11:00.919
  • Girls can't walk the streets of la.
  • 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:03.756
  • How is that a free society?
  • 00:11:03.756 --> 00:11:05.858
  • You are appeasing the criminals.
  • 00:11:05.858 --> 00:11:08.794
  • Stop coddling criminals because they happen
  • 00:11:08.794 --> 00:11:10.963
  • To be a protected class.
  • 00:11:10.963 --> 00:11:12.164
  • We don't believe in protected classes anymore, by the way.
  • 00:11:12.164 --> 00:11:14.600
  • We're done with that. game over.
  • 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.135
  • No more protected classes.
  • 00:11:16.135 --> 00:11:17.402
  • We are all citizens. made of the image of god.
  • 00:11:17.402 --> 00:11:19.938
  • Oh, you're protected class because
  • 00:11:19.938 --> 00:11:21.874
  • You know a different skin color ain't wrong.
  • 00:11:21.874 --> 00:11:23.842
  • That regime was defeated back in november.
  • 00:11:23.842 --> 00:11:26.311
  • That whole worldview was gone.
  • 00:11:26.311 --> 00:11:28.113
  • Over. done.
  • 00:11:28.113 --> 00:11:29.314
  • Kaput. sayonara.
  • 00:11:29.314 --> 00:11:31.784
  • Instead, a new worldview has ascended,
  • 00:11:31.784 --> 00:11:35.420
  • Which is we're not going to make accommodations
  • 00:11:35.420 --> 00:11:37.689
  • For criminals.
  • 00:11:37.689 --> 00:11:38.590
  • We're going through mass deportations.
  • 00:11:38.590 --> 00:11:40.626
  • If you're black and you commit a crime, you go to jail.
  • 00:11:40.626 --> 00:11:43.095
  • If you're white and you commit a crime, you go to jail.
  • 00:11:43.095 --> 00:11:45.197
  • Human equality doesn't matter.
  • 00:11:45.197 --> 00:11:47.866
  • Doesn't matter your background,
  • 00:11:47.866 --> 00:11:49.434
  • We are all treated equal under the law.
  • 00:11:49.434 --> 00:11:51.637
  • And that is a biblical principle.
  • 00:11:51.637 --> 00:11:53.472
  • So once we liberate washington dc and we will liberate it.
  • 00:11:53.472 --> 00:11:57.676
  • Now again, i want to say president donald trump.
  • 00:11:57.676 --> 00:11:59.945
  • He's got to go play to win here.
  • 00:11:59.945 --> 00:12:01.113
  • The one piece of caution we'd have to say
  • 00:12:01.113 --> 00:12:04.149
  • Is that
  • 00:12:04.383 --> 00:12:05.551
  • If we just kind of do this symbolically, we will lose.
  • 00:12:05.551 --> 00:12:08.320
  • The criminals will win.
  • 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.254
  • We got to go hard.
  • 00:12:09.254 --> 00:12:11.023
  • We got to go big league.
  • 00:12:11.023 --> 00:12:12.958
  • We're talking national guard tanks, every street.
  • 00:12:12.958 --> 00:12:16.295
  • You need military.
  • 00:12:16.295 --> 00:12:18.564
  • And if people are afraid, oh, well, donald trump is a fascist
  • 00:12:18.564 --> 00:12:21.633
  • Because he's bringing in the military.
  • 00:12:21.633 --> 00:12:22.935
  • Well, you're an anarchist.
  • 00:12:22.935 --> 00:12:24.670
  • We're not fascist. we're order.
  • 00:12:24.670 --> 00:12:26.438
  • Call them a name. right back.
  • 00:12:26.438 --> 00:12:27.873
  • You're an anarchist.
  • 00:12:27.873 --> 00:12:29.041
  • Do you want the criminals, the thugs, the gang members
  • 00:12:29.041 --> 00:12:31.243
  • And the worst of society to run the streets of dc?
  • 00:12:31.243 --> 00:12:33.879
  • We're not going to put up with it.
  • 00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:36.281
  • By the way, spare me the lecture.
  • 00:12:36.281 --> 00:12:39.051
  • You guys.
  • 00:12:39.051 --> 00:12:40.052
  • Militarized washington, dc after january 6th,
  • 00:12:40.052 --> 00:12:43.856
  • But you wouldn't move them a couple blocks
  • 00:12:43.856 --> 00:12:46.692
  • North to the criminals because you acted as if, oh,
  • 00:12:46.692 --> 00:12:49.528
  • All the people. and on january 6th
  • 00:12:49.528 --> 00:12:52.231
  • Are the greatest threat ever
  • 00:12:52.831 --> 00:12:54.633
  • Because they went in with a pocket constitution.
  • 00:12:54.633 --> 00:12:56.435
  • Go say a prayer in the us capitol
  • 00:12:56.435 --> 00:12:59.504
  • Once we liberate dc.
  • 00:12:59.972 --> 00:13:01.673
  • You better believe it.
  • 00:13:01.673 --> 00:13:02.841
  • Chicago, new york, boston, philadelphia,
  • 00:13:02.841 --> 00:13:05.310
  • Portland, san francisco.
  • 00:13:05.310 --> 00:13:06.745
  • We got a big military.
  • 00:13:06.745 --> 00:13:08.914
  • We should be willing to use it
  • 00:13:08.914 --> 00:13:10.782
  • Like up 316.
  • 00:13:10.782 --> 00:13:13.085
  • And we're going to have the same thing here.
  • 00:13:13.085 --> 00:13:15.554
  • But then i'm going to look at new york in a little while.
  • 00:13:15.554 --> 00:13:18.557
  • Let's do this. let's do this together.
  • 00:13:18.557 --> 00:13:20.592
  • Let's see. it's going to go pretty quickly.
  • 00:13:20.592 --> 00:13:23.095
  • And if we need to,
  • 00:13:23.095 --> 00:13:24.196
  • We're going to do the same
  • 00:13:24.196 --> 00:13:25.063
  • Thing in chicago, which is a disaster.
  • 00:13:25.063 --> 00:13:27.900
  • We have a mayor there who's totally incompetent.
  • 00:13:27.900 --> 00:13:30.736
  • He's an incompetent man.
  • 00:13:30.736 --> 00:13:32.738
  • And we have an incompetent governor there.
  • 00:13:32.738 --> 00:13:36.008
  • Pritzker's an incompetent.
  • 00:13:36.008 --> 00:13:37.376
  • His family threw him out of the business,
  • 00:13:37.376 --> 00:13:40.145
  • And he ran for governor.
  • 00:13:40.145 --> 00:13:42.114
  • And now i
  • 00:13:42.414 --> 00:13:43.482
  • Understand he wants to be president, but i noticed
  • 00:13:43.482 --> 00:13:45.784
  • He lost a little weight, so maybe he has a chance.
  • 00:13:45.784 --> 00:13:47.719
  • You know, you never know what happens.
  • 00:13:47.719 --> 00:13:49.655
  • But this is a gross, incompetent guy thrown
  • 00:13:49.655 --> 00:13:52.257
  • Out of the family business.
  • 00:13:52.257 --> 00:13:55.093
  • J.b. pritzker was born on third
  • 00:13:55.093 --> 00:13:56.695
  • And thought he had a triple.
  • 00:13:56.695 --> 00:13:59.932
  • If you're if your city is
  • 00:13:59.932 --> 00:14:01.900
  • A third world hellhole, look at that.
  • 00:14:01.900 --> 00:14:04.836
  • He's a mile wide.
  • 00:14:04.836 --> 00:14:06.071
  • Jb pritzker, i always love you.
  • 00:14:06.071 --> 00:14:07.973
  • I'm going to run for president.
  • 00:14:07.973 --> 00:14:09.274
  • As i say commonly, i would love to see that
  • 00:14:09.274 --> 00:14:13.278
  • The running part.
  • 00:14:13.712 --> 00:14:17.349
  • We need an el salvadorian reset.
  • 00:14:18.083 --> 00:14:19.851
  • El salvador went from the most dangerous country
  • 00:14:19.851 --> 00:14:22.387
  • In the western hemisphere
  • 00:14:22.387 --> 00:14:23.689
  • To one of the safest, if not the safest,
  • 00:14:23.689 --> 00:14:26.291
  • Crime is a choice we are deciding and choosing
  • 00:14:26.291 --> 00:14:29.528
  • To put up with it.
  • 00:14:29.528 --> 00:14:30.696
  • We are deciding and choosing to allow our streets to be
  • 00:14:30.696 --> 00:14:33.799
  • Littered with crime. criminals
  • 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:36.134
  • And the worst of society.
  • 00:14:36.702 --> 00:14:39.104
  • And president donald trump is saying no more.
  • 00:14:39.104 --> 00:14:40.973
  • He is exercising his willpower.
  • 00:14:40.973 --> 00:14:44.009
  • And brandon johnson, muriel bowser, karen bass,
  • 00:14:44.009 --> 00:14:47.479
  • Mom donnie, if he's going to be the next
  • 00:14:47.479 --> 00:14:50.549
  • Mayor of new york city, watch out.
  • 00:14:51.283 --> 00:14:54.086
  • This is what we were elected to do.
  • 00:14:54.086 --> 00:14:55.854
  • Crime is a choice, and we want the streets of america
  • 00:14:55.854 --> 00:14:59.458
  • To be as clean as tokyo.
  • 00:14:59.458 --> 00:15:03.562
  • I'm proud to partner with amac,
  • 00:15:04.196 --> 00:15:05.731
  • The association
  • 00:15:05.731 --> 00:15:06.732
  • Of mature american citizens, because they are
  • 00:15:06.732 --> 00:15:08.600
  • The voice of mature americans who love this country
  • 00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.336
  • And believe in the core values of faith, family, and freedom.
  • 00:15:11.336 --> 00:15:14.673
  • While other senior organizations push a woke left
  • 00:15:14.673 --> 00:15:17.142
  • Wing agenda,
  • 00:15:17.142 --> 00:15:18.377
  • Amac is doing the real work holding washington accountable.
  • 00:15:18.377 --> 00:15:21.480
  • They're fighting to make the trump tax cuts permanent,
  • 00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:23.782
  • Protect social security, defend election integrity,

  • But the breaking news today
  • 00:16:14.402 --> 00:16:16.204
  • Is the federalization of washington dc.
  • 00:16:16.204 --> 00:16:19.641
  • This really seem to have been triggered by the young man
  • 00:16:19.641 --> 00:16:22.944
  • Working for doge being mugged.
  • 00:16:22.944 --> 00:16:24.646
  • But president trump
  • 00:16:24.646 --> 00:16:25.647
  • Has been alluding to this for a couple months.
  • 00:16:25.647 --> 00:16:28.383
  • He's been talking about how dc has become a slum.
  • 00:16:28.383 --> 00:16:30.919
  • Dc is a third world city.
  • 00:16:30.919 --> 00:16:32.921
  • Alex barlow, your take on president donald trump
  • 00:16:32.921 --> 00:16:35.824
  • Federalized our nation's capital.
  • 00:16:35.824 --> 00:16:38.526
  • I love it.
  • 00:16:38.526 --> 00:16:39.394
  • I lived there for a while, charlie.
  • 00:16:39.394 --> 00:16:40.595
  • And we have a mechanism to help save the city, which
  • 00:16:40.595 --> 00:16:44.499
  • Has been overrun by democrats and thus crime, vandalism.
  • 00:16:44.499 --> 00:16:48.503
  • It is an embarrassment to national disgrace.
  • 00:16:48.503 --> 00:16:50.672
  • The city has a lot of potential.
  • 00:16:50.672 --> 00:16:52.107
  • It is where people convene like it or not, just by nature.
  • 00:16:52.107 --> 00:16:54.843
  • The fact that it's our nation's capital.
  • 00:16:54.843 --> 00:16:56.444
  • It is the city that is broadcast to the world
  • 00:16:56.444 --> 00:16:58.813
  • As the most representative of the united states,
  • 00:16:58.813 --> 00:17:00.582
  • Like it or not, a lot of days not.
  • 00:17:00.582 --> 00:17:02.150
  • But that's just a reality.
  • 00:17:02.150 --> 00:17:03.585
  • And it's one of these places where if we do this right,
  • 00:17:03.585 --> 00:17:07.188
  • We could have a safe, beautiful capital
  • 00:17:07.188 --> 00:17:09.090
  • That the world admires.
  • 00:17:09.090 --> 00:17:10.091
  • And donald trump has a keen eye for this stuff.
  • 00:17:10.091 --> 00:17:12.427
  • He has. he mechanism to change it.
  • 00:17:12.427 --> 00:17:14.162
  • So why wouldn't he?
  • 00:17:14.162 --> 00:17:15.630
  • This is the outside the box
  • 00:17:15.630 --> 00:17:16.965
  • Thinking that i love about donald trump.
  • 00:17:16.965 --> 00:17:18.399
  • Because why would he tolerate
  • 00:17:18.399 --> 00:17:20.401
  • Something that's second tier in america?
  • 00:17:20.401 --> 00:17:22.003
  • He's a cheerleader for this country.
  • 00:17:22.003 --> 00:17:23.471
  • And if you look at the way dc has gone in recent years,
  • 00:17:23.471 --> 00:17:26.674
  • It's gotten more crime addled, more dirty, and somehow
  • 00:17:26.674 --> 00:17:30.044
  • More expensive at the same time.
  • 00:17:30.044 --> 00:17:31.513
  • It's totally unpleasant to go there.
  • 00:17:31.513 --> 00:17:33.214
  • I used to live there, and i used to love living there.
  • 00:17:33.214 --> 00:17:35.583
  • It's been the center of the world
  • 00:17:35.583 --> 00:17:37.085
  • For so long, really, since barack
  • 00:17:37.085 --> 00:17:38.386
  • Obama has kind of been the center of the world.
  • 00:17:38.386 --> 00:17:40.121
  • Let's go clean it up and let's get some points doing it
  • 00:17:40.121 --> 00:17:42.524
  • So they're already going to they're already
  • 00:17:42.524 --> 00:17:44.359
  • Calling him a fascist, blah, blah blah, whatever.
  • 00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:46.394
  • We don't care.
  • 00:17:46.394 --> 00:17:47.195
  • This is about a nation's capital.
  • 00:17:47.195 --> 00:17:49.898
  • By the way.
  • 00:17:49.898 --> 00:17:50.798
  • If you go to singapore, you go to tokyo,
  • 00:17:50.798 --> 00:17:52.200
  • You go to seoul, south korea,
  • 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:53.735
  • You go to any of the great asian capitals.
  • 00:17:53.735 --> 00:17:56.070
  • They wouldn't put up
  • 00:17:56.070 --> 00:17:57.138
  • With what we have here at all, period, whatsoever.
  • 00:17:57.138 --> 00:17:59.908
  • And why have we put up with such crime, endangerment,
  • 00:17:59.908 --> 00:18:04.846
  • Slum activity all throughout.
  • 00:18:04.846 --> 00:18:07.348
  • And it's a combination of not just the homelessness
  • 00:18:07.348 --> 00:18:09.384
  • And the drug use and the maniacs,
  • 00:18:09.384 --> 00:18:11.653
  • Because i was just in dc recently
  • 00:18:11.653 --> 00:18:13.121
  • And it was just a bunch. it was terrible.
  • 00:18:13.121 --> 00:18:15.089
  • But also it is a very violent city.
  • 00:18:15.089 --> 00:18:18.560
  • Very.
  • 00:18:18.793 --> 00:18:19.861
  • Why have we why have we put up with it for so long?
  • 00:18:19.861 --> 00:18:22.163
  • Okay, so it's a one party town.
  • 00:18:22.163 --> 00:18:23.831
  • So the democrats run the city.
  • 00:18:23.831 --> 00:18:25.600
  • So if they choose to start actually prosecuting crimes,
  • 00:18:25.600 --> 00:18:29.571
  • They start trying to
  • 00:18:29.571 --> 00:18:30.738
  • Hold people to account and to not release
  • 00:18:30.738 --> 00:18:33.541
  • All the criminals on to the streets, then.
  • 00:18:33.541 --> 00:18:35.310
  • Well, that's going to lead to
  • 00:18:35.310 --> 00:18:36.511
  • Is a short term uptick in crime statistics, which is bad.
  • 00:18:36.511 --> 00:18:39.681
  • That's an admission of failure.
  • 00:18:39.681 --> 00:18:41.015
  • So they're never going to do that.
  • 00:18:41.015 --> 00:18:42.217
  • So politically they have to allow
  • 00:18:42.217 --> 00:18:44.419
  • For all of the crime to continue because to address
  • 00:18:44.419 --> 00:18:47.455
  • It would necessitated meeting that it was bad to begin what.
  • 00:18:47.455 --> 00:18:50.525
  • They're never going to do that
  • 00:18:50.525 --> 00:18:51.693
  • Because the left is so political,
  • 00:18:51.693 --> 00:18:53.394
  • They would rather see crime than have a short term,
  • 00:18:53.394 --> 00:18:55.897
  • You know, hit in the polls over this issue.
  • 00:18:55.897 --> 00:18:58.132
  • The other thing is the left.
  • 00:18:58.132 --> 00:18:59.634
  • They love chaos. they're agents of chaos.
  • 00:18:59.634 --> 00:19:01.970
  • They don't want to see a law and order society.
  • 00:19:01.970 --> 00:19:04.205
  • They don't want to see
  • 00:19:04.205 --> 00:19:05.373
  • Our nation preserved
  • 00:19:05.373 --> 00:19:06.674
  • And conserved in terms of the values
  • 00:19:06.674 --> 00:19:08.576
  • You and i champion on a daily basis, charlie.
  • 00:19:08.576 --> 00:19:10.578
  • So you're not going to be the one to take the initiative.
  • 00:19:10.578 --> 00:19:13.214
  • The only chance you've got
  • 00:19:13.214 --> 00:19:14.449
  • Is conservatives or republicans doing it from
  • 00:19:14.449 --> 00:19:16.684
  • The perch of the presidency.
  • 00:19:16.684 --> 00:19:18.119
  • To be honest with you,
  • 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:19.153
  • And any prior republican president
  • 00:19:19.153 --> 00:19:21.289
  • That we've had in my lifetime
  • 00:19:21.289 --> 00:19:22.657
  • Would never have been able to fight through
  • 00:19:22.657 --> 00:19:24.926
  • Any of the name calling and the outrage
  • 00:19:24.926 --> 00:19:27.595
  • And the hand-wringing that we're about to witness.
  • 00:19:27.595 --> 00:19:29.797
  • But it doesn't matter.
  • 00:19:29.797 --> 00:19:30.999
  • Trump's got a soldier through, and he's got to get this done.
  • 00:19:30.999 --> 00:19:33.401
  • Hundreds of thousands of young kids visit washington, d.c.
  • 00:19:33.401 --> 00:19:36.437
  • Every year on school trips,
  • 00:19:36.437 --> 00:19:37.805
  • High school trips, middle school trips.
  • 00:19:37.805 --> 00:19:39.707
  • We want them to see something they're proud of,
  • 00:19:39.707 --> 00:19:42.110
  • And it does something to the psyche.
  • 00:19:42.110 --> 00:19:43.978
  • I could say this as someone who's been to d.c.,
  • 00:19:43.978 --> 00:19:45.546
  • You, alex, i mean numerous, hundreds of times
  • 00:19:45.546 --> 00:19:48.182
  • When you get out of reagan and you drive through or dulles
  • 00:19:48.182 --> 00:19:50.952
  • Where you fly in and you just see slums and you see tents,
  • 00:19:50.952 --> 00:19:55.590
  • And it just it brings down your soul.
  • 00:19:55.590 --> 00:19:59.060
  • It really does.
  • 00:19:59.427 --> 00:20:00.428
  • And in the.
  • 00:20:00.428 --> 00:20:01.329
  • Yeah, i lived in the foggy bottom area
  • 00:20:01.329 --> 00:20:02.764
  • For about four years or so, and, my typical day,
  • 00:20:02.764 --> 00:20:06.634
  • I would involve me running out of my apartment,
  • 00:20:06.634 --> 00:20:10.238
  • Running down to the lincoln memorial, running along
  • 00:20:10.238 --> 00:20:12.874
  • The potomac river, running
  • 00:20:12.874 --> 00:20:14.075
  • Through iconic georgetown with the cobblestone streets
  • 00:20:14.075 --> 00:20:16.811
  • On prospect avenue, which was,
  • 00:20:16.811 --> 00:20:18.780
  • You know, from the scenes from the exorcist.
  • 00:20:18.780 --> 00:20:20.114
  • I lived used to doing that in the fall.
  • 00:20:20.114 --> 00:20:22.050
  • It was such a blast, charlie.
  • 00:20:22.050 --> 00:20:23.584
  • By the time i left, it was black lives matter time.
  • 00:20:23.584 --> 00:20:26.254
  • All the stores were boarded up.
  • 00:20:26.254 --> 00:20:27.855
  • Everyone was bummed out because of stupid coronavirus masks.
  • 00:20:27.855 --> 00:20:30.658
  • They're riots all the time.
  • 00:20:30.658 --> 00:20:31.826
  • They're people marching down the street
  • 00:20:31.826 --> 00:20:33.061
  • Making all sorts of noise for no reason.
  • 00:20:33.061 --> 00:20:35.096
  • There's no reason. it has to be that way.
  • 00:20:35.096 --> 00:20:36.798
  • It wasn't that long ago the dc was at least tolerable,
  • 00:20:36.798 --> 00:20:40.001
  • And we can make it beautiful again.
  • 00:20:40.001 --> 00:20:41.235
  • We can make dc great again.
  • 00:20:41.235 --> 00:20:42.337
  • I mean, it's a cliche for a reason.
  • 00:20:42.337 --> 00:20:44.972
  • We can absolutely do that.
  • 00:20:44.972 --> 00:20:46.341
  • Trump's got the power to do it.
  • 00:20:46.341 --> 00:20:47.775
  • And i'll tell you, if he succeeds,
  • 00:20:47.775 --> 00:20:49.444
  • He'll get a lot of credit
  • 00:20:49.444 --> 00:20:50.345
  • Because even people on the left,
  • 00:20:50.345 --> 00:20:51.579
  • I think, will admit to some degree that this could be done.
  • 00:20:51.579 --> 00:20:54.682
  • And the people in charge now will not address it.
  • 00:20:54.682 --> 00:20:57.018
  • The future of maga and the future of this movement
  • 00:20:57.018 --> 00:20:59.754
  • Will go to the reclamation of our major cities.
  • 00:20:59.754 --> 00:21:01.589
  • That doesn't mean we have to make new york maga or l.a.
  • 00:21:01.589 --> 00:21:04.292
  • Maga, but you must be able to have dominion and control
  • 00:21:04.292 --> 00:21:08.196
  • And authority over america's greatest cities
  • 00:21:08.196 --> 00:21:11.065
  • If we want to just be an outskirt movement.
  • 00:21:11.065 --> 00:21:13.201
  • Look, if we want to just control
  • 00:21:13.201 --> 00:21:15.069
  • The midland, texas, the oklahoma cities,
  • 00:21:15.069 --> 00:21:17.472
  • There's nothing wrong with that.
  • 00:21:17.472 --> 00:21:19.307
  • But it's incomplete.
  • 00:21:19.307 --> 00:21:20.641
  • It is incomplete because then basically you are
  • 00:21:20.641 --> 00:21:23.544
  • You are the master of the hinterlands,
  • 00:21:23.544 --> 00:21:25.713
  • Which again, is not an insult.
  • 00:21:25.713 --> 00:21:27.248
  • Beautiful parts of the country.
  • 00:21:27.248 --> 00:21:29.083
  • But we need to go into the fire.
  • 00:21:29.083 --> 00:21:31.452
  • Is it time then, alex?
  • 00:21:31.452 --> 00:21:32.820
  • If we have a successful model in washington dc to replicate
  • 00:21:32.820 --> 00:21:36.724
  • This in other cities, it's a little bit harder obviously,
  • 00:21:36.724 --> 00:21:39.660
  • Because you have home rule designation in dc,
  • 00:21:39.660 --> 00:21:43.064
  • But is it time for us to start to roll in the tanks,
  • 00:21:43.064 --> 00:21:45.433
  • The chicago?
  • 00:21:45.433 --> 00:21:46.200
  • Is it time for us to sign
  • 00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:47.402
  • The insurrection act in los angeles?
  • 00:21:47.402 --> 00:21:49.670
  • What are we putting up with
  • 00:21:49.670 --> 00:21:51.272
  • And why not talk about how this might be the entry point
  • 00:21:51.272 --> 00:21:54.942
  • To a broad reclamation project of the third world ification
  • 00:21:54.942 --> 00:21:59.046
  • To liberate new york, chicago, atlanta, philadelphia, la.
  • 00:21:59.046 --> 00:22:04.419
  • Charlotte?
  • 00:22:04.719 --> 00:22:05.620
  • Yeah, yeah, i'll talk philosophically.
  • 00:22:05.620 --> 00:22:07.321
  • And then i know
  • 00:22:07.321 --> 00:22:07.889
  • Some lawyer
  • 00:22:07.889 --> 00:22:08.990
  • Is going to have to back me up on the legal side,
  • 00:22:08.990 --> 00:22:10.158
  • Because i know how much of this could actually get done.
  • 00:22:10.158 --> 00:22:11.826
  • But from my perspective,
  • 00:22:11.826 --> 00:22:13.261
  • It doesn't make sense that we have the
  • 00:22:13.261 --> 00:22:15.463
  • The strongest, most advanced, most
  • 00:22:15.463 --> 00:22:17.765
  • Technologically savvy fighting forces in the world.
  • 00:22:17.765 --> 00:22:20.868
  • And yet we allow for our cities to be war zones.
  • 00:22:20.868 --> 00:22:23.070
  • It doesn't make sense to me,
  • 00:22:23.070 --> 00:22:24.272
  • And i'm not saying that we want to have, you know,
  • 00:22:24.272 --> 00:22:25.873
  • A massive military presence in our city, because
  • 00:22:25.873 --> 00:22:28.676
  • That'll defeat the purpose
  • 00:22:28.676 --> 00:22:30.211
  • Of what i'm talking about anyway,
  • 00:22:30.211 --> 00:22:31.712
  • Which is that i would like for our cities
  • 00:22:31.712 --> 00:22:33.147
  • To be a place where culture is thriving,
  • 00:22:33.147 --> 00:22:34.982
  • Not where people are fearing
  • 00:22:34.982 --> 00:22:36.050
  • For their lives when they walk down the block,
  • 00:22:36.050 --> 00:22:37.718
  • Get a sandwich.
  • 00:22:37.718 --> 00:22:38.820
  • But the point is, is that if we have resources
  • 00:22:38.820 --> 00:22:41.122
  • That are able to clean up some of these problems,
  • 00:22:41.122 --> 00:22:43.491
  • Maybe it's the fentanyl issue
  • 00:22:43.491 --> 00:22:44.725
  • Because it's connected to the to the illegal immigration.
  • 00:22:44.725 --> 00:22:46.861
  • Maybe it's what they're doing with ice in los angeles.
  • 00:22:46.861 --> 00:22:48.996
  • Maybe that's the place to start.
  • 00:22:48.996 --> 00:22:50.364
  • But i would look for opportunities
  • 00:22:50.364 --> 00:22:52.133
  • Around the edges first and then maybe broader
  • 00:22:52.133 --> 00:22:54.535
  • From there to try to set the standard
  • 00:22:54.535 --> 00:22:56.804
  • That in this country we have great thriving cities.
  • 00:22:56.804 --> 00:22:59.373
  • I'll tell you, i live a suburban life
  • 00:22:59.373 --> 00:23:01.442
  • Where i walk to school with my children,
  • 00:23:01.442 --> 00:23:03.711
  • And i don't live near a major metropolitan center.
  • 00:23:03.711 --> 00:23:06.347
  • But i'll tell you, on weekends, charlie,
  • 00:23:06.347 --> 00:23:07.448
  • When you want to eat and shop,
  • 00:23:07.448 --> 00:23:08.683
  • You go down to the city and you it's you're fearful
  • 00:23:08.683 --> 00:23:11.519
  • They're they got better restaurants,
  • 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:13.287
  • But it's you're worried about whether or not something
  • 00:23:13.287 --> 00:23:16.023
  • Is going to happen to you when you're in your car.
  • 00:23:16.023 --> 00:23:17.725
  • It's going to break into your car.
  • 00:23:17.725 --> 00:23:18.926
  • That shouldn't be the case in this country.
  • 00:23:18.926 --> 00:23:20.461
  • We should have a higher standard than that.
  • 00:23:20.461 --> 00:23:22.363
  • And for republicans, we can't just opt out.
  • 00:23:22.363 --> 00:23:24.332
  • We have to be part of the solution. alex, we have to go.
  • 00:23:24.332 --> 00:23:26.767
  • Great job. see you later, breitbart news.
  • 00:23:26.767 --> 00:23:28.970
  • Alex marlow god bless you guys. see you tomorrow.
  • 00:23:28.970 --> 00:23:33.341
  • Every day brings a new
  • 00:23:33.808 --> 00:23:35.443
  • Headline questioning israel's right to defend herself.
  • 00:23:35.443 --> 00:23:38.379
  • But behind the politics is simple truth.
  • 00:23:38.379 --> 00:23:40.314
  • Israel security
  • 00:23:40.314 --> 00:23:41.516
  • Is possibly the most complex anywhere in the world.
  • 00:23:41.516 --> 00:23:44.051
  • On october 7th, we saw just how much depends
  • 00:23:44.051 --> 00:23:46.587
  • On the brave men
  • 00:23:46.587 --> 00:23:47.755
  • And women who are ready to act when every second counts.
  • 00:23:47.755 --> 00:23:50.358
  • Israel's first responders are the heroes
  • 00:23:50.358 --> 00:23:52.660
  • Who run towards danger, not away from it.
  • 00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:55.062
  • And even now, nearly two years later,
  • 00:23:55.062 --> 00:23:56.864
  • Israel is still under fire daily
  • 00:23:56.864 --> 00:23:58.599
  • With rocket attacks, border threats and acts of terror.
  • 00:23:58.599 --> 00:24:01.135
  • These frontline defenders
  • 00:24:01.135 --> 00:24:02.236
  • Need our help through
  • 00:24:02.236 --> 00:24:03.371
  • The international fellowship for christians and jews.
  • 00:24:03.371 --> 00:24:05.907
  • You can provide lifesaving emergency gear
  • 00:24:05.907 --> 00:24:07.842
  • That helps you keep them ready and protected.
  • 00:24:07.842 --> 00:24:10.177
  • Armored security vehicles, trauma kits.
  • 00:24:10.177 --> 00:24:12.213
  • Mobile bomb shelters. flak jackets.
  • 00:24:12.213 --> 00:24:14.048
  • Your support delivers
  • 00:24:14.048 --> 00:24:14.949
  • To help directly where it's needed most.
  • 00:24:14.949 --> 00:24:16.617
  • I fully support the fellowship.
  • 00:24:16.617 --> 00:24:18.119
  • It's one of a kind ministry that has my full support.
  • 00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:20.555
  • Go to ifk jorg right now and stand with israel's heroes
  • 00:24:20.555 --> 00:24:24.091
  • While they stand in the line of fire.
  • 00:24:24.091 --> 00:24:24.091
