He 12 00:00:36,799 --> 00:00:39,240 was holding a press conference earlier. Heard a little bit 13 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,920 of that on Vince's show. He is now meeting with 14 00:00:42,039 --> 00:00:45,840 the President of South Korea, continuing to take questions from media. 15 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,200 Has been speaking to them for almost three hours at 16 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,640 this point, combined with the two different press events taking place. 17 00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:54,200 And one of the things that was discussed earlier with 18 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,719 the President being in the Oval office was crime. And 19 00:00:57,759 --> 00:01:00,280 this has been an interesting discussion in a kind of 20 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,439 an interesting political debate to watch played out play out 21 00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:07,680 on the national stage. And really, to me, this comes 22 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,560 down to a simple question of do you want the 23 00:01:10,599 --> 00:01:13,840 place that you live, that you work that you shop, 24 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,920 or whatever the circumstances might be, do you want that 25 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,560 place to be safe or dangerous? Now, of course it's 26 00:01:21,599 --> 00:01:23,959 a rhetorical question. I mean, you don't need to have 27 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,760 a PhD in econo or in any sort of field 28 00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:33,439 to understand the concept that an unsafe community leads to 29 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,840 it falling into some level of disrepair, falling into some 30 00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:42,760 level of decline because it is unsafe. Right, you go 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,719 back a couple of years and you look at what 32 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,920 was going on in the city of San Francisco where 33 00:01:47,959 --> 00:01:52,879 you had complete and total, open rampant, open air drug use, 34 00:01:52,879 --> 00:01:57,879 where you had people swarming subway and tramcar stations all 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:02,159 throughout San Francisco, walking around like zombies with heroin needles 36 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,439 in their arms. What was the result of that and 37 00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,239 what did that lead to? Well, it led to people 38 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,000 no longer wanting to work or travel to the downtown 39 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,280 city center in San Francisco. And for businesses, particularly those 40 00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:19,560 in the retail sector, without employees, you can't keep your 41 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:26,080 doors open without individuals to come into your establishment and 42 00:02:26,439 --> 00:02:29,879 work it, or patrons to come in and buy products 43 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:33,280 that you're selling. It's really not a sustainable business model. 44 00:02:33,759 --> 00:02:36,039 And so over the last couple of years, you have 45 00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:42,159 seen a mass exodus from the downtown hub in San Francisco. 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,520 I remember back this is probably about two or so, 47 00:02:44,719 --> 00:02:46,840 two years or so ago, maybe a little bit longer. 48 00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:53,039 The availability of commercial property in San Francisco was the 49 00:02:53,159 --> 00:02:57,240 highest percentage anywhere in the nation. This is a city 50 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,879 that has been a major economic hub for decades now, 51 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,719 and it had one of the highest availability rates of 52 00:03:05,879 --> 00:03:09,280 commercial real estate anywhere in the country. And for a 53 00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:12,680 variety of reasons, nobody wants to travel to a place 54 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,159 where you've got individuals openly using drugs roaming around the streets, 55 00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:19,800 harassing you. People don't want to shop there, and people 56 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,800 don't want to work there, so they have decided to 57 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,960 go elsewhere. They've decided to leave the city center. And 58 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,680 you've seen a variety of stores, all of your major 59 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,800 drug stores, grocery stores, all of those places have closed up, 60 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,080 shop boarded up their windows, and they've moved out of 61 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,599 downtown San Francisco. It's beginning to come back as city 62 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,919 leaders have finally come to the realization that that is 63 00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:46,360 completely unsustainable long term. But it is an unfortunate trend 64 00:03:46,599 --> 00:03:50,000 that we are seeing in many cities across the country, 65 00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,879 and it's a variety of factors that lead to what 66 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:58,360 eventually becomes out of control crime to a level in 67 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:03,319 which a city starts to in population, in visitors, and 68 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,240 in growth. And one of the greatest examples of this 69 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,639 is the District of Columbia, where over the last couple 70 00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:12,680 of years you have seen a rampant amount of increase 71 00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:16,160 in crime, a lot of it of course, spawning around 72 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,959 the BLM and Antifa protests of twenty twenty and into 73 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,360 twenty twenty one, a lot of that causing crime rates 74 00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:28,319 to skyrocket in many of these cities, DC being one 75 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:32,399 of them. And President Donald Trump eleven days ago, decided 76 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:36,199 that he was ready to take action, using federal authority 77 00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:41,199 vested in him under United States law. He sent the 78 00:04:41,319 --> 00:04:45,839 National Guard and directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to take 79 00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,279 over control of the DC Police and under his authority 80 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,079 as the Chief Executive, to deploy the National Guard. And 81 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,839 I caught this amazing stat this morning. In the eleven 82 00:04:56,959 --> 00:05:00,680 days that the National Guard has been roaming the streets 83 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,800 of DC, would you believe that there has not been 84 00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:05,759 a single murder? 85 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:08,959 Speaker 1: Wow? Look at that. 86 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: So you're telling me that as soon as that there 87 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:19,319 are consequences to your actions, crime stops. As soon as 88 00:05:19,439 --> 00:05:22,879 individuals start to realize that they're not going to be 89 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,240 able to carjack some poor twenty year old girl who's 90 00:05:26,319 --> 00:05:29,240 just getting in her car after her shift at a restaurant, 91 00:05:29,439 --> 00:05:32,120 that you're going to be held accountable for that, that 92 00:05:32,199 --> 00:05:34,480 you might actually be arrested for that, and you might 93 00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:39,360 actually be prosecuted from the crime that you've conducted, that 94 00:05:39,439 --> 00:05:41,879 you stop doing it. I mean, imagine my shock when 95 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,759 I hear that. But that's exactly what's happening in Washington, DC. Now, 96 00:05:47,879 --> 00:05:52,680 it's only been eleven days, but in the last week 97 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,800 and a half or so since this has been in place, 98 00:05:55,319 --> 00:05:57,639 it would be hard pressed for me to argue that 99 00:05:57,759 --> 00:05:59,480 has not been successful. 100 00:06:00,439 --> 00:06:01,519 Speaker 1: Over the weekend, we. 101 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,199 Speaker 2: Learned that President Donald Trump was looking at the possibility 102 00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:08,199 of expanding some of what has gone on in DC 103 00:06:08,439 --> 00:06:13,120 the DC cleanup efforts to other cities across the United States, 104 00:06:13,519 --> 00:06:18,319 cities with incredibly high crime rates. Which is even shocking 105 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,639 to learn that Saint Louis is the top city per 106 00:06:21,759 --> 00:06:24,839 capita for crime. It is the most dangerous city from 107 00:06:24,879 --> 00:06:29,319 a crime statistic perspective anywhere across the US, and so 108 00:06:29,439 --> 00:06:32,600 President Donald Trump is starting to now float around and 109 00:06:32,639 --> 00:06:35,759 throw around the idea that he wants to bring similar 110 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,600 action that he that has conducted himself with in Washington, 111 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,279 d C. Bring that to other cities, and one of 112 00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,920 them is Chicago. And so over the weekend, I was 113 00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:50,199 digging into some of the crime statistics out of Chicago, 114 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,360 and I assumed they were bad, but I will admit 115 00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:55,560 I hadn't looked at them in a couple of years. 116 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,399 And so there's a great website that lays out I said, 117 00:06:58,439 --> 00:07:02,040 great website, but from a visual standpoint, lays out these 118 00:07:02,079 --> 00:07:06,360 statistics and they're heart wrenching. Year to date, there have 119 00:07:06,399 --> 00:07:11,319 been two hundred and seventy eight homicides in Chicago, more 120 00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:14,879 than one thousand people shot and wounded, and more than 121 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,360 twelve hundred, almost thirteen hundred people shot thus far in Chicago. 122 00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:22,959 It's August twenty fifth. I mean, we're just a little 123 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,319 over halfway through the year, a little more than halfway 124 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,120 through the through the year, and you've already got two 125 00:07:28,199 --> 00:07:32,759 hundred and seventy eight people killed in Chicago. One of 126 00:07:32,759 --> 00:07:36,360 the more shocking things on here is, again based on 127 00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:40,360 these statistics, every four hours and twenty three minutes, somebody 128 00:07:40,399 --> 00:07:43,639 is shot in the city of Chicago, and every twenty 129 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,920 hours and twenty two minutes, so in less than a day, 130 00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:50,920 a person is being murdered. Now, I will contend to 131 00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:53,879 you that that is not something that is good. I 132 00:07:53,879 --> 00:07:56,959 don't believe in death and destruction and bloodshed and violence. 133 00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:59,040 It's not something I subscribe to. I don't think it's 134 00:07:59,079 --> 00:08:03,319 good for anything. And so when I look at these numbers, 135 00:08:04,439 --> 00:08:06,399 when I see that in the month of August there's 136 00:08:06,439 --> 00:08:11,600 been twenty nine homicides in Chicago, I say that's probably 137 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,959 not a good situation. When I see that there's been 138 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,040 twelve hundred and ninety six people shot in the city 139 00:08:18,079 --> 00:08:21,639 this year, I say that's not a good thing. These 140 00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:26,079 are not good metrics. And so, as Trump is now 141 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,199 talking about sending in the National Guard or other federal 142 00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:32,639 authorities to a place like Chicago, the reaction to it 143 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:37,159 has been astonishing. We're being told that it's not actually 144 00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:43,320 a problem. The Chicago mayor in Brandon Johnson, is telling Trump, 145 00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:46,519 don't send federal troops here. We don't have an issue unfolding. 146 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: All right, So you've heard me talk about creative video 147 00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,320 for almost a year. But did you know they also 148 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,600 offer a game changing app for businesses that reward their 149 00:08:54,639 --> 00:08:58,080 teams with incentive trips. Well they do. It's called Incentive 150 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,279 trip Kit. If you own a business or work at 151 00:09:00,279 --> 00:09:03,240 one that offers these incentive trips, this is a must have. 152 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,159 It maximizes the impact and value of these motivational trips. 153 00:09:07,399 --> 00:09:10,200 It's a super easy to use app built just for 154 00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:14,519 your group, with private messaging, shared photos, important trip documents, 155 00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:17,559 even a find the group locator just in case somebody 156 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,039 gets separated. And when I say it's private, I mean it. 157 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,759 No personal emails, no phone numbers, no ads, no account 158 00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:27,399 sign ups. Everyone uses one shared login, so it's super easy, 159 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,200 no hassles. During the trip, everybody can post their best 160 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,559 photos and short video clips, and folks back at the 161 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,000 office can even follow along. And then after the trip, 162 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,840 Incentive trip Kit turns those memories into a professional storytelling 163 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,879 video you can use to motivate, inspire, and get people 164 00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:45,039 fired up for next year's trip.

It's 177 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,879 so sad. August the month's not even over yet. Twenty 178 00:10:26,919 --> 00:10:30,240 seven people shot and killed, one hundred and sixty four wounded, 179 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,320 more than one hundred and ninety people shot, twenty nine 180 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,759 total homicides. Those are the crime statistics for the month 181 00:10:36,759 --> 00:10:39,519 of August two date it's the twenty fifth, So I 182 00:10:39,519 --> 00:10:42,080 guess we'll get a couple more homicides and a couple 183 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360 more murders before the month is said and done. And 184 00:10:45,399 --> 00:10:48,799 we're led to believe that that is something that is sustainable. 185 00:10:49,759 --> 00:10:52,080 We're led to believe that that is something that is 186 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,480 good for a city to have in terms of its 187 00:10:54,519 --> 00:10:59,919 crime statistics. Apparently so because Chicago mayor in Brandon Jones 188 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,360 told the Associated Press over the weekend, then called that 189 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,720 Trump's approach quote uncalled for and unsound, arguing that it 190 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,919 quote has the potential to inflame tensions between residents and 191 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,159 law enforcement. And so if I was talking to the 192 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,360 Chicago mayor, I'd say, Okay, well, then how many murders 193 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,480 need to take place within your city for it to 194 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,279 justify the National Guard potentially stepping in and trying to 195 00:11:27,279 --> 00:11:30,039 clean up the streets? Because as it stands right now, 196 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,159 we're at two hundred and seventy eight for the year. 197 00:11:32,519 --> 00:11:34,679 Does it need to be three hundred and seventy eight, 198 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,399 four hundred and seventy eight, seven hundred and I mean, 199 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,480 what point is enough enough? This goes back to something interesting. 200 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,759 If you followed Rudy Giuliani's rise to power in New 201 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,320 York State back in the nineties, he was unsuccessful in 202 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,480 multiple elections beforehand, and while crime was yes, very bad 203 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,440 in New York City throughout the seventies and eighties, one 204 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,639 of the things he talks about in a book he wrote, 205 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,639 I think it came out in the early two thousands, 206 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,879 was that while New York City and the streets of 207 00:12:05,919 --> 00:12:09,759 the city were bad and unsafe. They weren't bad enough yet, 208 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,960 and he talked about this concept of yes, things are 209 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,559 bad in the case of New York City crime at 210 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,879 the time, but they had yet to hit a tipping point, 211 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:21,720 and until they hit that tipping point, he couldn't win. 212 00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: Now they eventually did. 213 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: Voters in New York City realized that the lawlessness, the crime, 214 00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,360 the out of control violence that was taking place in 215 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,240 the Big Apple was not sustainable, and they decided to 216 00:12:33,279 --> 00:12:35,559 elect Rudy Giuliani. And you know how the rest of 217 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,919 the story unfolds. He brings back prosperity to New York City, 218 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,240 which of course is on the brink of collapse again 219 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,799 with Zoorn Mamdani and his great ideas for that for 220 00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:47,840 that city moving forward. And I think that's an important 221 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,320 concept to understand when you look at in this case, 222 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,840 Chicago's crime statistics and some of these other major cities 223 00:12:54,879 --> 00:12:58,759 Saint Louis has been discussed, Baltimore, Philadelphia, some of these 224 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:05,399 other major unfortunately Democrat run cities where the police chief, 225 00:13:05,759 --> 00:13:10,480 the mayor, the city council, the prosecutors, the ada's I mean, 226 00:13:10,519 --> 00:13:15,720 everybody involved is week on crime. And it's no surprise 227 00:13:15,879 --> 00:13:19,200 that when you are in fact week on crime, you 228 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,320 embolden criminals. You embolden individuals to commit heinous acts. And 229 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,799 Donald Trump was talking about this today. This is from 230 00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:30,679 the White House about an hour and a half or 231 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,000 so ago, talking about cashless bail, which is one of 232 00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:39,080 these major policies that those on the left think is sustainable. 233 00:13:39,279 --> 00:13:40,919 This is what the President had to say in the 234 00:13:40,919 --> 00:13:42,240 Oval Office a little while ago. 235 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,759 Speaker 3: So I'll start signing the executive voters. To me, there's 236 00:13:45,799 --> 00:13:49,159 a very very big idea. One of the executive voters 237 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,399 has to do with cash liss mail. That was when 238 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:56,480 the big crime in this country started. And I can 239 00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,399 tell you who did it win, but I don't want 240 00:13:59,399 --> 00:14:03,240 to do that because others followed pretty quickly. But that 241 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,759 was when it happened. Somebody kills somebody, They go in, 242 00:14:05,799 --> 00:14:07,559 don't worry about it, no cash, come back in a 243 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,840 couple of months, We'll give you a trial. You never 244 00:14:09,919 --> 00:14:13,240 see the person again. And I mean, they kill people 245 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:15,960 and they get out cashless bail. They thought it was 246 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,480 discriminatory to make people put up money because they just 247 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,679 killed three people lying on the street, any street all 248 00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:27,159 over the country. Cashless mail. We're ending it, but we're 249 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,919 starting by ending it in DC, and that we have 250 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,240 the right to do through federalization. Okay, let's go, could 251 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,559 I let's keep just saying exactly what this is. 252 00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:40,039 Speaker 4: Of course, so as you've consistently identified certain cashless bail 253 00:14:40,159 --> 00:14:43,559 policies are a key driver of the disorder we see 254 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,320 on city streets all over America. 255 00:14:45,679 --> 00:14:46,759 Speaker 1: Cash and release. 256 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: System allows criminals to keep going back out onto the 257 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,519 street and reoffending. What this executive order does it charges 258 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,399 your Attorney General with identifying jurisdictions all over the country 259 00:14:56,399 --> 00:14:59,840 that have cash less bail policies, and then it withholds 260 00:14:59,879 --> 00:15:02,840 or revokes federal funds and grants that are flowing those 261 00:15:02,919 --> 00:15:06,200 jurisdictions to ensure that we're only supporting the people who 262 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,720 have reasonable, common sense policies around crime. 263 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: To what area does it cover? 264 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 4: Potentially anywhere that has a cashless bail policy, So some 265 00:15:14,679 --> 00:15:16,879 of the largest cities, some of the most left wing 266 00:15:16,919 --> 00:15:20,120 states and are knowedge down the Illinois would be a 267 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:21,159 great example of the answer. 268 00:15:21,639 --> 00:15:24,759 Speaker 2: Almost all of them, says the President behind the resolute 269 00:15:24,799 --> 00:15:31,200 desk talking about cashless bail, talking about these ridiculous policies 270 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,039 out of some of these major Democrats cities. Folks, it 271 00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:40,000 just doesn't work. I mean, how many crime statistics do 272 00:15:40,039 --> 00:15:43,200 you need to look at? How many reports from cities 273 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,960 do you need to look at before you snap into 274 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,600 some semblance of reality and wrap your head around this concept. 275 00:15:50,639 --> 00:15:55,600 It's a disaster and it's not overly complicated to figure 276 00:15:55,639 --> 00:16:00,399 out when violent offenders. When criminals don't feel like there's 277 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,559 going to be any repercussions for the things that they do, 278 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,200 they do them. And that's exactly what these cashless bail 279 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,159 policies have allowed. It's the exact same situation with shoplifting 280 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,720 out in California. They've risen the level now I think 281 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,799 it's like eleven hundred bucks or something that you can 282 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,919 legally steal from a store before the police can be called. 283 00:16:21,039 --> 00:16:21,919 Speaker 1: So what has happened? 284 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,799 Speaker 2: People are walking into stores and stealing under eleven hundred 285 00:16:25,799 --> 00:16:28,759 dollars worth of goods and nothing could be done. The 286 00:16:28,799 --> 00:16:31,639 police aren't going to respond to the store clerks obviously 287 00:16:31,639 --> 00:16:33,840 aren't going to stop these individuals. So what have the 288 00:16:33,879 --> 00:16:36,480 stores done. They've put everything behind lock and key, or 289 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,480 in many cases, they've just gone out of business. That's 290 00:16:39,519 --> 00:16:43,919 the result when you can't prosecute somebody for theft when 291 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,799 you can't prosecute somebody for stealing. These are the policies 292 00:16:48,799 --> 00:16:52,559 that are rolling out in these major blue Democrat strongholds 293 00:16:52,799 --> 00:16:56,080 all across the United States. And so you have President 294 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:59,440 Trump in the Oval Office this afternoon signing an executive 295 00:16:59,559 --> 00:17:03,279 order directing Attorney General Pam Bondy to begin the process 296 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:06,359 of cleaning this up. Figure out where these cities are, 297 00:17:06,599 --> 00:17:09,400 figure out where these policies are, and start holding these 298 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,960 cities accountable. Accountability has pretty much been the key word 299 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:13,400 of the day. 300 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,599 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to 301 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,119 a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. 302 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,400 Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of 303 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,799 Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, 304 00:17:26,839 --> 00:17:29,079 maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get 305 00:17:29,079 --> 00:17:32,000 family and friends together for a big old reunion.

Nestled within the breath taking fourteen thousand acres 309 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,599 of the Pisga National Forest, their cabins offer a serene 310 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,400 escape in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, centrally 311 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,920 located between Ashville and the entrance of the Great Smoky 312 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,799 Mountain National Park. It's the perfect balance of seclusion and 313 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:58,160 proximity to all the local attractions with hot tubs, fireplaces, 314 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,400 air conditioning, smart TVs, Wi Fi grills, outdoor tables, and 315 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,799 your own private covered porch. Choose from thirteen cabins, six cottages, 316 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,880 two villas, and a great lodge with eleven king sized bedrooms. 317 00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:14,200 Cabins of Ashville has the ideal spot for you for 318 00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:18,079 any occasion, and they have pet friendly accommodations. Call or 319 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,480 text eight two eight three six seven seventy sixty eight 320 00:18:21,799 --> 00:18:23,880 or check out all there is to offer at Cabins 321 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,480 Offashville dot com and make memories that'll last a lifetime. 322 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: And again, I find it interesting because I don't know 323 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,160 anybody literally that is on the face of the planet 324 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,880 that would want their city, the town that they live, 325 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,839 wherever it is, would want their place that they live 326 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,839 or they work, or they shop or they play to 327 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,599 be unsafe. You've heard this concept of an eighty twenty 328 00:18:49,759 --> 00:18:53,000 political stance before, where eighty percent of people agree with 329 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,480 something and the twenty percent do not eighty twenty issues. 330 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,839 They're very common in political spheres. This is like a 331 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,720 ninety nine to one issue. I don't know of a 332 00:19:04,759 --> 00:19:09,200 single person that wants their city, their state, wherever to 333 00:19:09,279 --> 00:19:15,079 be unsafe. But unfortunately, that's exactly what you're seeing in 334 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:21,880 many Democrats strongholds across the US. You are seeing rampant lawlessness, 335 00:19:22,079 --> 00:19:25,200 you are seeing local officials, and there's always this discussion 336 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,279 on why local elections do not get more turnout. Right, 337 00:19:28,319 --> 00:19:30,440 You've got elections coming up here in the City of 338 00:19:30,519 --> 00:19:33,920 Charlotte later this year, and across a plethora of municipalities 339 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,559 in North Carolina, pretty much all across the board. You'll 340 00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:39,799 have city and town elections taking place this year, and 341 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,640 the voter turnout is typically pitiful. In some cases, it's 342 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,079 like twelve to fifteen percent turnout. And when you look 343 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,039 at an issue like crime, which the President has been 344 00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:52,920 beating the drum on nationally over the last couple of days, 345 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,680 that is a direct response to local elections. Right, your 346 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,119 police chiefs, your city councils, your district attorneys, those are 347 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,400 local elections. And it's it's always so frustrating when I 348 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,759 look at election returns and watch a local municipal elections 349 00:20:12,799 --> 00:20:16,640 play out. That more people are not involved because these 350 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,720 policies spiral out of control. And I'll contend to you 351 00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:24,559 that they happen pretty rapidly. It seems like, oh, maybe 352 00:20:24,559 --> 00:20:26,519 there's a little bit of a slow burn. But the 353 00:20:26,559 --> 00:20:28,160 next thing you know, you blink your eyes and you've 354 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,920 got dozens of major cities across the country that are 355 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,720 these freakish landscapes where there's no law and order. I mean, 356 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,079 just whatever you want to do goes. Yeah, you want 357 00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:41,880 to shoot up in the middle of the street, you 358 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,039 want to steal from the local CBS, you want you 359 00:20:45,079 --> 00:20:48,279 want to just commit complete and total lawlessness. Nothing is 360 00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:52,640 happening in these places. The President, as you can probably 361 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,599 tell listening to his commentary over the last couple of weeks, 362 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,839 is frustrated by that. Rightfully, so I can assume Boom 363 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,839 that individuals that live in these cities are also frustrated 364 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,400 by it. However they won't admit it. They admit that 365 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:12,519 they are, but it's it's completely an unsustainable strategy for 366 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,240 any place for any significant period of time. I mean, 367 00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:21,119 you can absolutely draw the correlation between the safety and 368 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,599 security of a place and its growth. It's prosperity, whether 369 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:30,079 you're talking about you know, physical growth from a population standpoint, 370 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,920 whether you're talking about things like like economic growth and 371 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,240 economic prosperity. If a place is unsafe to be people 372 00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:40,880 do not want to be there. You will take a 373 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,960 city that is potentially on the incline in terms of 374 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,279 all of those metrics, and it will then become on 375 00:21:47,319 --> 00:21:51,359 the decline. It will start going down, and it happens 376 00:21:51,599 --> 00:21:53,480 kind of almost with the like the snap of a finger. 377 00:21:53,519 --> 00:21:58,680 It happens very quickly. Once these soft on crime politicians 378 00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:01,880 get into office, and once they're really able to get 379 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,839 their claws around this whole thing, they allow it to 380 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:08,680 just completely run amock, completely run out of control. And 381 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,599 that's what you've seen in places like the District of Columbia, 382 00:22:12,559 --> 00:22:17,640 in places like New York City or Saint Louis, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia. 383 00:22:17,759 --> 00:22:20,839 The list goes on and on and on, and it's 384 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,160 the same strategy every single time. It's the same policies 385 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,200 that are put forth every time, and the result is 386 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,880 exactly the same, which is, by the way, the definition 387 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,400 of insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again 388 00:22:35,599 --> 00:22:40,519 and expecting a different result. Soft on crime policies lead 389 00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:45,000 to places becoming dangerous and unsafe. When places are dangerous 390 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,759 and unsafe, people in business leave. It's really that simple 391 00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:54,920 of a correlation. And so again, who are the groups 392 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,119 of people that are cheering on the street corner for crime. 393 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,400 Who are the individuals that are applauding these kinds of 394 00:23:05,519 --> 00:23:09,559 policies that allow this to take place? Now, those on 395 00:23:09,599 --> 00:23:13,759 the extreme political left, those that are defund the police, 396 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,880 no cash bail, all of the wonderful Democrat policies that 397 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,640 you know and love. Those folks might say that they're 398 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,960 in favor of it, but I would contend to you 399 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,559 that even Democrats understand how disastrous these policies are. I 400 00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:32,079 caught an interesting article over at the Washington Post last week. 401 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,920 It was asking residents in the District of Columbia what 402 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,839 they thought about Trump's national deploying of the National Guard 403 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,599 and taking over some portions of the DC Police. And 404 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,000 while the response to the poll wasn't all that high, 405 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,839 was something like twenty five percent supported it. It's important 406 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,640 to note that in the District of Columbia only six 407 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:57,599 percent of voters supported Donald Trump. Ninety percent supported Kamala Harris. 408 00:23:58,519 --> 00:24:01,319 And so when twenty five percent of respondence to this 409 00:24:01,519 --> 00:24:05,200 Washington Post poll said that they were in favor of 410 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:09,119 what the president's doing, that's not just his six percent 411 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,200 voting block. That is a large number of those that 412 00:24:12,279 --> 00:24:15,279 would be on the left, the Democrat side of the 413 00:24:15,279 --> 00:24:19,480 political aisle also supporting these policies coming out of the 414 00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:24,119 Oval Office, also supporting these policies from President Donald Trump. 415 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,960 And so while that was of course not mentioned in 416 00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:31,119 the Wall Street or the Washington Post story at all, 417 00:24:31,599 --> 00:24:33,279 as you dig into the voting dad and as you 418 00:24:33,279 --> 00:24:36,160 actually look at the numbers and correlate them with what 419 00:24:36,279 --> 00:24:40,759 reality is. When one in four people in DC are saying, yeah, 420 00:24:40,839 --> 00:24:43,039 I support what the President's doing and he can only 421 00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:46,200 get six percent of the vote in the district of Columbia, 422 00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:50,079 that is a major win. That is going to show 423 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:55,200 you that even Democrats understand that lawlessness is not sustainable 424 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,680 long term. Even Democrats understand that the cities in which 425 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,519 they live and work and play will fall into freakish 426 00:25:03,759 --> 00:25:07,680 hellscapes if this stuff is not dealt with. We've got 427 00:25:07,799 --> 00:25:12,079 examples of it, we've got the data and the statistics 428 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,799 that back that up, and for whatever reason, You've got 429 00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:20,519 this boneheaded mayor in Chicago saying that what the president 430 00:25:20,599 --> 00:25:25,480 is threatening is uncalled for, an unsound. Meanwhile, his city 431 00:25:25,519 --> 00:25:28,440 has seen two hundred and seventy eight homicides since the 432 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,319 beginning of twenty twenty five. I just don't get it. 433 00:25:33,079 --> 00:25:36,279 I'm just failing to understand how that is a number 434 00:25:36,319 --> 00:25:38,559 that is applauded by those on the left. 435 00:25:39,079 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: All right, if you're listening to this show, you know 436 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:42,960 I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, 437 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,039 and I know you do too, And you've probably heard 438 00:25:45,079 --> 00:25:49,160 me say get your news from multiple sources.

It's not because they are 461 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:05,200 controlled by Democrats, but because the crime is out of control. 462 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,160 Before the break, we were going over some of the 463 00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:12,200 crime statistics out of Chicago, and it's sad. It's so sad. 464 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,799 August the month's not even over yet. Twenty seven people 465 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:18,880 shot and killed, one hundred and sixty four wounded, more 466 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,519 than one hundred and ninety people shot, twenty nine total homicides. 467 00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:25,519 Those are the crime statistics for the month of August 468 00:27:25,599 --> 00:27:28,160 two date it's the twenty five, So I guess we'll 469 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,039 get a couple more homicides and a couple more murders 470 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,079 before the month is said and done, and we're led 471 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,200 to believe that that is something that is sustainable. We're 472 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,799 led to believe that that is something that is good 473 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,720 for a city to have in terms of its crime statistics. 474 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,319 Apparently so, because Chicago Mayor in Brandon Jones told the 475 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:53,519 Associated Press over the weekend then called that Trump's approach 476 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:58,960 quote uncalled for and unsound, arguing that it quote has 477 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,039 the potential to flame tensions between residents and law enforcement. 478 00:28:04,039 --> 00:28:06,200 And so if I was talking to the Chicago mayor, 479 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,119 I'd say, Okay, well, then how many murders need to 480 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,759 take place within your city for it to justify the 481 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,960 National Guard potentially stepping in and trying to clean up 482 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,680 the streets? Because as it stands right now, we're at 483 00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,079 two hundred and seventy eight for the year. Does it 484 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,400 need to be three hundred and seventy eight, four hundred 485 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,359 and seventy eight, seven hundred, I mean, what point is 486 00:28:28,599 --> 00:28:32,759 enough enough? And this goes back to something interesting. If 487 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:36,319 you followed Rudy Giuliani's rise to power in New York 488 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,119 State back in the nineties, he was unsuccessful in multiple 489 00:28:40,119 --> 00:28:43,839 elections beforehand. And while crime was, yes, very bad in 490 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,759 New York City throughout the seventies and eighties, one of 491 00:28:46,799 --> 00:28:48,880 the things he talks about in a book he wrote, 492 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:50,960 I think it came out in the early two thousands, 493 00:28:51,559 --> 00:28:54,160 was that while New York City and the streets of 494 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,079 the city were bad and unsafe, they weren't bad enough yet. 495 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,519 And he talked about this concert Yes, things are bad 496 00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:04,279 in the case of New York City crime at the time, 497 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,279 but they had yet to hit a tipping point, and 498 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,480 until they hit that tipping point, he couldn't win. Now 499 00:29:10,519 --> 00:29:14,599 they eventually did. Voters in New York City realized that 500 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,400 the lawlessness, the crime, the out of control violence that 501 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,599 was taking place in the Big Apple was not sustainable, 502 00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:23,480 and they decided to elect Rudy Giuliani. And you know how, 503 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,240 the rest of the story unfaults. He brings back prosperity 504 00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,319 to New York City, which of course is on the 505 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:31,960 brink of collapse again with Zoorn Mamdani and his great 506 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,160 ideas for that for that city moving forward. And I 507 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,839 think that's an important concept to understand when you look 508 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,039 at in this case, Chicago's crime statistics and some of 509 00:29:42,039 --> 00:29:46,559 these other major cities, Saint Louis has been discussed, Baltimore, Philadelphia, 510 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:52,359 some of these other major unfortunately Democrat runs cities where 511 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,400 the police chief, the mayor, the city council, the prosecutors, 512 00:29:57,559 --> 00:30:01,599 the ada's. I mean, everybody involved is week on crime. 513 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,599 And it's no surprise that when you are, in fact, 514 00:30:05,839 --> 00:30:12,039 week on crime, you embolden criminals. You embolden individuals to 515 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,039 commit heinous acts. And Donald Trump was talking about this today. 516 00:30:16,079 --> 00:30:18,440 This is from the White House about an hour and 517 00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,839 a half or so ago, talking about cashless bail, which 518 00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,759 is one of these major policies that those on the 519 00:30:25,839 --> 00:30:28,720 left think is sustainable. This is what the President had 520 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,559 to say in the Oval Office a little while ago. 521 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,039 Speaker 3: So I'll start signing the executive voters. To me, there's 522 00:30:34,079 --> 00:30:37,440 a very, very big idea. One of the executive voters 523 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,640 has to do with cash list mail. That was when 524 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,759 the big crime in this country started. And I can 525 00:30:44,799 --> 00:30:47,640 tell you who did it when, but I don't want 526 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,480 to do that because others followed pretty quickly. But that 527 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,039 was when it happened. Somebody kills somebody that go in 528 00:30:54,039 --> 00:30:55,839 don't worry about it. No cash come back in a 529 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,160 couple of months, we'll give you a trial. You never 530 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,599 see the person again. I mean, they kill people and 531 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,039 they get out cashless bail. They thought it was discriminatory 532 00:31:05,119 --> 00:31:08,119 to make people put up money because they just killed 533 00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:12,160 three people lying on a street, any street all over 534 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:15,839 the country. Cashless mail. We're ending it, but we're starting 535 00:31:15,839 --> 00:31:18,319 by ending it in DC, and that we have the 536 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,559 right to do through federalization. Okay, let's go. Could I 537 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,799 just keep this saying exactly what this is. 538 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,079 Speaker 4: Of course, so as you've consistently identified sort of cashless 539 00:31:28,079 --> 00:31:31,599 bail policies are a key driver of the disorder we 540 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,680 see on city streets all over America. Catch and release 541 00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:37,240 system allows criminals to keep going back out onto the 542 00:31:37,279 --> 00:31:40,759 street and reoffending. What this executive order does It charges 543 00:31:40,839 --> 00:31:44,640 your Attorney General with identifying jurisdictions all over the country 544 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,279 that have cashless bail policies, and then it withholds or 545 00:31:48,319 --> 00:31:52,119 revokes federal funds and grants that are flowing those jurisdictions 546 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,200 to ensure that we're only supporting the people who have reasonable, 547 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:56,920 common sense policies around crime. 548 00:31:57,079 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 3: So what area does it cover? 549 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 4: Potential anywhere that has a cashless bail policy. So some 550 00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,759 of the largest cities, some of the most left wing states. 551 00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: And are launch Donald and them right. 552 00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:09,319 Speaker 4: Illinois would be a great example. 553 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,960 Speaker 2: Of the answer, Almost all of them, says the president 554 00:32:12,039 --> 00:32:17,480 behind the resolute desk talking about cashless bail, talking about 555 00:32:17,519 --> 00:32:23,240 these ridiculous policies out of some of these major Democrat cities. Folks, 556 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:28,359 it just doesn't work. How many crime statistics do you 557 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:31,599 need to look at? How many reports from cities do 558 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,480 you need to look at before you snap into some 559 00:32:34,519 --> 00:32:38,880 semblance of reality and wrap your head around this concept. 560 00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:43,880 It's a disaster and it's not overly complicated to figure 561 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,680 out when violent offenders, When criminals don't feel like there's 562 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,839 going to be any repercussions for the things that they do, 563 00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:56,440 they do them. And that's exactly what these cashless bail 564 00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:00,680 policies have allowed. It's the exact same suit situation with 565 00:33:00,799 --> 00:33:03,799 shoplifting out in California. They've risen the level. Now I 566 00:33:03,799 --> 00:33:05,880 think it's like eleven hundred bucks or something that you 567 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,720 can legally steal from a store before the police can 568 00:33:08,759 --> 00:33:09,200 be called. 569 00:33:09,319 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: So what has happened? 570 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:14,039 Speaker 2: People are walking into stores and stealing under eleven hundred 571 00:33:14,039 --> 00:33:17,039 dollars worth of goods and nothing could be done. The 572 00:33:17,039 --> 00:33:19,880 police aren't going to respond to the store clerks obviously 573 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,119 aren't going to stop these individuals. So what have the 574 00:33:22,119 --> 00:33:24,720 stores done. They put everything behind lock and key, or 575 00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:27,720 in many cases, they've just gone out of business. That's 576 00:33:27,759 --> 00:33:32,200 the result when you can't prosecute somebody for theft, when 577 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,039 you can't prosecute somebody for stealing. These are the policies 578 00:33:37,079 --> 00:33:40,839 that are rolling out in these major blue Democrat strongholds 579 00:33:41,079 --> 00:33:44,319 all across the United States. And so you have President 580 00:33:44,359 --> 00:33:47,720 Trump in the Oval Office this afternoon signing an executive 581 00:33:47,799 --> 00:33:51,519 order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin the process 582 00:33:51,519 --> 00:33:54,599 of cleaning this up, figure out where these cities are, 583 00:33:54,839 --> 00:33:57,680 figure out where these policies are, and start holding these 584 00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:02,799 cities accountable. Accountabilities pretty much been the keyword of the day. 585 00:34:03,599 --> 00:34:05,920 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode.
