A judge in New York has now placed a gag order on President Trump, just like we discussed. A new report is out saying that Poland will be wealthier than Britain by 2030, in just a couple years. And finally, a Chicago DA is calling it quits after 20 years and says this state and county are on course to disaster.
00:09:13.780Thanks to a post-communist economic miracle.
00:09:17.420The country is becoming a hotbed for future facing industries such as battery manufacturing and tech.
00:09:23.660Warsaw is using this economic strength to transform the country into a formidable fighting force to guard against the threat of foreign invasion,
00:09:33.020invasion from Russia, willing to stand against Moscow.
00:09:35.120And as Germany and France tie themselves in knots, Poland's star is on the rise.
00:09:40.700Warsaw is currently planning to double the size of its army to 300,000 soldiers equipped with the latest Western equipment.
00:09:48.200Poland is spending some 10 billion U.S. dollars on U.S.-made artillery systems that have been proven very effective on the Ukrainian battlefield.
00:09:56.760Similarly, Poland is buying a fleet of F-35 Lightning II aircraft and 116 Abrams tanks to replace the Soviet-era MiG fighters and T-72 tanks that are being given to Ukraine.
00:10:09.460Now, I would be remiss if I wasn't pointing out that this is also a massive boon for the U.S. defense industry
00:10:15.320and obviously something that has been an incentive for certain corporate interests to continue the economic windfall
00:10:25.660that they've been having from continuing the war in Ukraine rather than suing for peace, which we all hope.
00:10:31.120But Poland has also raised its defense spending to 4 percent of GDP this year, up from 2.5 percent.
00:10:37.060This makes Warsaw's war chest relatively one of the largest in NATO with plans to even increase that.
00:10:44.700And OK, I'm looking at the rest of this.
00:10:46.260It really gets into the military explanations of it.
00:10:50.760But what's what's I think shocking to a lot of people is that Poland, which at one point was a massive power in Central Europe, Central Eastern Europe, is now on the rise again.
00:11:01.400And this is also partly relative to its alliance with the United States, as well as relative to the general weakness or the growing weakness of the U.K. and France,
00:11:14.180because not because of their unwillingness to do whatever the telegraph wants them to do vis-a-vis the war,
00:11:19.320but also the fact that they have been running their country so foolishly for the last few decades,
00:11:26.660spending themselves into oblivion, opening wide the borders for any and all migrants that want to come in.
00:11:34.960Poland famously said, we are more than happy to allow migrants and refugees to come into Poland.
00:11:41.600And in fact, Poland has taken in millions and millions of refugees, but not from the Middle East.
00:11:48.160Poland has taken them in from Hungary.
00:11:50.520See, Hungary is also a Christian nation, similar language, similar culture.
00:11:55.340They've been able to assimilate very easily within Polish culture.
00:12:00.200And as we've been talking about this week, Poland is one of the safest countries in the planet.
00:12:05.220It is the number two safe country when it comes to women.
00:12:07.920I showed you the subways. We're talking about this new thing called a revolver has a big story up today called public transit nationalism.
00:12:15.560And, you know, basically talking about, look, folks, you know, public transit is just it's an interesting way to it's an interesting heuristic to compare different countries to each other,
00:12:27.140because obviously public transportation is something that we all have in every country, obviously in major cities.
00:12:33.020And yet, for some reason, the public transit in a place like New York City, San Francisco, a place like L.A., a place like Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, et cetera, Baltimore is abysmal, atrocious.
00:14:01.720Poland says we're not going to be down with the human trafficking, the labor trafficking, the sex trafficking that goes on, goes along with these programs.
00:14:09.760And even, by the way, the legal immigration guest worker programs are rife with abuse, rife with trafficking issues, which includes sex trafficking issues.
00:14:18.540And I'm sorry for people who say that they want more legal immigration and want guest worker programs.
00:14:23.120But countries like Poland have rightly seen that those operations are so full of abuse.
00:14:29.760Abuse, not only abuse when I'm talking economically, I'm talking about girls when you're being told, hey, you want your visa extended?
00:14:45.220And instead, internally, are seeking to support their population with family growth policies, family production, tax benefits, and the like.
00:14:57.620And that is why Poland is on a fast track to becoming the next great power.
00:15:02.540Look, I got to say, I love coming over to Eastern Europe.
00:15:44.200I cannot wait to get home because I know that I'm going to have a box of Blackout Coffee waiting for me at home.
00:15:51.600But I'm going to fry up immediately, number one, to get over jet lag, but then numero dos because that is the stuff that keeps me going after I've had such a great night's sleep.

00:17:09.300One of the familiar faces of the Cook County State's Attorney's Office has resigned after 25 years.
00:17:15.800Jim Murphy wrote in a message sent to staff in the office that he wishes he could stay,
00:17:20.720but says he can no longer work for the administration, saying, quote,
00:17:23.780I have zero confidence in their leadership.
00:17:26.820He's referring to State's Attorney Kim Fox.
00:17:29.020Murphy writes it started when the Safety Act, which passed in 2021, eliminating cash bail that'll take effect in January of next year.
00:17:38.240He states he supports eliminating cash bail, but believed the legislation was a PR stunt.
00:17:44.060Murphy also wrote he believes the administration is more concerned with political narratives and agendas than victims and prosecuting violent crime.
00:17:51.800This is incredible. So that that clip that we just played for you was from almost a year ago.
00:17:56.960Now, there's been another resignation.
00:17:58.940This is at least the third high profile resignation of a career prosecutor in Cook County.
00:18:05.360That's the county where Chicago, Illinois is.
00:18:07.760This one Cook County prosecutor quits after 20 years.
00:18:11.800We're getting this out of CWB Chicago.
00:18:13.520If you are not following CWB Chicago, then you are not paying attention to what's going on in American cities.
00:18:46.940But then he also said this here and here's the here's the kicker.
00:18:50.060All right. This is the stinger, as we call it in in the biz.
00:18:54.060The simple fact is that the state and county have set themselves on a course to disaster.
00:18:59.900And the worst part is the agency for whom I worked has backed literally every policy change that has the predictable and predicted outcome of more crime and more people getting hurt.
00:19:14.840OK, as we talked to bond reform, bail reform, cashless bail designed to make sure no one stays in jail while their cases are pending with no safety net to handle more criminals on the streets.
00:19:24.340Shorter parole periods, lower sentences for repeat offenders, the malicious and unnecessary prosecution of law enforcement officers.
00:19:35.060The malicious and unnecessary prosecution of law enforcement officers.
00:19:40.980Overuse of diversion programs, intentionally not pursuing prosecutions for crimes lawfully on the books after being passed by our legislature and signed by a governor.
00:19:51.720All of these so-called reforms have had a direct negative impact that will last for a generation.
00:19:58.940Many years ago, my family found a nice, quiet corner of the suburbs.
00:20:03.600Now, my son, who is only five, hears gunfire while playing at our neighborhood park and a drug dealer is open air selling behind my house.
00:20:14.240There are drug dealers setting up behind prosecutors' houses because the criminals know there's going to be no penalties.
00:20:22.940Penalties, you have to read this letter.
00:20:24.800This letter out of Chicago, this Chicago prosecutor, it's, this is one of the most gating things I've ever read.
00:20:30.720If it were just me to consider, I'd stick it out.
00:20:33.240I've been through this stupid state's attorney's policies before, but this office's complete failure to even think for a moment before rushing into one popular political agenda after another has put my family directly in harm's way.
00:20:46.360The current people in charge of the state, including the state attorney's office, suffer from a fundamental misunderstanding.
00:20:53.160We live in a society with an adversarial and criminal justice processes.
00:20:57.500Defense attorneys, legal aid clinics, public defenders, defendant advocate groups, they fight like hell to protect the rights of criminal defendants, as they should.
00:21:07.260But we have an obligation to fight like hell on behalf of the people.
00:21:12.040It should go without saying that this must be done ethically and even-handedly.
00:21:16.960When both sides vigorously defend their positions, a balance is reached between protecting rights while preserving a sort of border and safety.
00:21:25.320Once we start doing too much of the defense's job, once we start pulling our punches, once we decide that it's worth risking the lives of citizens, to have a little social experiment, that balance is lost.
00:21:36.900The unavoidable consequences are what we are witnessing in real time.
00:21:40.540An increase in crime of all kinds, businesses and families pulling up stakes, and the bodies piling up.
00:21:47.880The whole time with a state attorney who insists there's nothing to see here.
00:21:51.920And if there is, it must be someone else's fault.
00:21:54.080And then they wonder, well, they can't retain experienced prosecutors or even hire new ones.
00:21:58.360It's because any true prosecutor recognizes the importance of this balance, and they will not be permitted to be a prosecutor under this administration.
00:22:30.520And yet my own employer has turned it into a place from which I am no longer proud to be, and in which my son is not safe.
00:22:39.300To everyone in the trenches, in the state attorney's office, and in law enforcement, my one regret is that I cannot be at your side anymore as you continue to fight the good fight.
00:22:48.840I do not envy the task you have before you, but you have my utmost respect for carrying on.
00:22:53.840I hope that you are successful one day at returning some kind of common sense and security to our communities.
00:23:00.760Thank you all so much for this opportunity to serve.
00:23:05.460I will treasure every moment of this chapter of my life.
00:23:09.960Jason F. Poirier, assistant state's attorney.
00:23:13.620This is the third high-profile resignation that we've had in Chicago in the last year, in the last 12 months.
00:23:19.560Natasha Toller, the chief of criminal prosecutions, resigned last February.
00:23:24.000High-profile supervising prosecutor James Murphy followed her last July with a very similar email to this about Cook County state attorney Kim Foxx.
