00:00:48.340
welcome back to firebrand we're broadcasting live out of room 2021 of the rayburn house office
00:00:59.100
building here in the capitol complex in washington dc it's friday and we are going to have a focus
00:01:04.560
on crime and justice in this discussion and it's really interesting here on capitol hill we showed
00:01:11.140
you the hearings in yesterday's episode from the committee where victims of violent crime
00:01:16.480
we're talking about the policy changes that directly resulted in deteriorating conditions
00:01:21.640
from them we talked about migrant crime and how we're creating a whole new class of criminals
00:01:27.060
and a whole new class of victims as a consequence of what's happening on the border essentially having
00:01:32.380
no border flying people in uh as a consequence of them just getting on the cbp1 app and claiming
00:01:38.360
asylum but then you have also the kamala harris approach to this where they've trotted out
00:01:45.940
merrick garland to say that norms at the justice department are uh really important to be
00:01:53.300
maintained and he does this big pep rally out at the department of justice where they get everyone
00:01:58.680
together and say they are the great protectors and defenders of the norms of justice i wrote an essay
00:02:05.020
that published in real clear politics that the ag's pep rally is dispositive proof that in fact it was
00:02:12.420
president trump who prevailed in the debate recently because it was trump who made the allegation that
00:02:18.900
the justice department had been weaponized against him that was not sufficiently answered by the vice
00:02:25.040
president and so they had to go and run merrick garland out to uh to make the case that she was
00:02:31.700
unsuccessful at if she had prevailed on that point in the debate they would have allowed her words
00:02:37.040
to be what would be ringing in their advertisements and in their earned media instead they had to go
00:02:42.940
trot out merrick garland and there's another point about crime stats where president trump was vindicated
00:02:48.560
once again uh the term has been heard you know throughout the country trump was right whether it
00:02:53.420
was the russia hoax or the ukraine impeachment hoax now it's the crime rates that we see under the
00:02:59.680
policies that are embraced by kamala harris we heard during the debate the other night that violent crime
00:03:05.660
hadn't gone up that was the big moderator fact check the reality is actually the difference uh so you
00:03:13.720
had muir saying in the debate quote the fbi says overall violent crime rates are coming down well it turns
00:03:19.440
out that was yet another bit of fake news from the mainstream media today a new doj report comes out
00:03:26.480
showing how crime rates have soared into the stratosphere under kamala harris and joe biden in
00:03:33.520
2020 trump's last full year in office there are about 1.5 million violent crimes excluding the simple
00:03:40.040
assaults now by 2023 that number is about 2.5 million it's an increase of about a million crimes
00:03:48.380
so why do they continue to lie to us you had total violent crime during trump's last year in office
00:03:54.820
at a steady decrease from prior years okay it was a steady decrease it was going down and now
00:04:01.840
you've you've you've got a massive increase in this amount of a violent crime and it begs the
00:04:07.820
question like was trump actually debating kamala harris or was it the moderators regardless there's
00:04:13.920
no denying it now violent crime was going down under trump has been increased during kamala's stay at
00:04:19.780
the naval observatory and darren like before we get into some i'm joined now by dr darren beattie he is
00:04:26.700
the publisher at revolver news revolver news is a terrific website revolver.news you're going to get
00:04:33.340
the breaking news there you're going to get the analysis you're going to get some of the best
00:04:37.200
investigative reporting on what's going on in the country and you're also going to get the buried
00:04:42.540
leads from the mainstream media that dr beattie and his team will pull out at revolver.news and make
00:04:48.500
sure you're getting the full story and there's been some great reporting that you've been sharing
00:04:53.560
and publishing on revolver.news regarding some of this migrant crime but before we get to that
00:04:58.960
dr beattie you know talk us how should the american people react to kind of the deep fake that is the
00:05:07.180
sell job that like the fbi doj try to do with the release of these crime statistics when people live
00:05:13.400
the experience of their own safety each and every day and folks just instinctively know that you're less
00:05:20.180
safe now on america's streets than you were when trump was president well you know that's a really
00:05:25.620
great question and sometimes it's hard to parse these things out because there is a certain bias
00:05:31.920
toward you know people being exposed to the reality of crime more through sort of viral social media
00:05:39.460
clips it could lead people to maybe incorrectly extrapolate you know what's really going on more
00:05:45.960
broadly i will admit myself the statistics that you just showed because my intuitive sense would have
00:05:55.640
been that violent crime is still very high unacceptably high and my sense was that sort of
00:06:02.920
quality of life sort of lesser tier crimes not murder but quality of life stuff like the shoplifting
00:06:09.580
we see and the conditions leading to the deterioration of the commons and those types of things are at an
00:06:16.640
all-time high but my per se while and less as at say the apex of the george floyd fiasco in 2020
00:06:31.040
but the statistics that showed indicate that that's not actually the case that we're actually worse
00:06:39.180
off now in terms of violent crime even than the summer of floyd period which was i think sort of a local
00:06:48.520
maximum for quite where a violent so it's just i'm even astonished to see how high violent crime is across
00:06:57.920
the board not just what i thought would have been at the apex right now which is these sort of
00:07:03.960
not murder but quality of life versions of crime like you know convenience store theft and muggings and
00:07:12.580
things like this so it's actually remarkable to see but at the end of the day it's really not too far
00:07:18.520
off the intuition we see the basic presence of civilized life on a day-to-day basis and that's become
00:07:28.520
the new reality in biden kamala's america and it's the policies that they continue to champion that
00:07:35.480
they celebrate that they say are effective and i was recently in new york and i had to i do endure
00:07:40.580
the demoralizing and and humiliating experience of like having to hit a button and call for a store
00:07:48.800
employee at a walgreens just to get like a razor a razor blade out and it's you just think like
00:07:55.620
in the third world they don't live like this and and and we're accepting it and i i believe that
00:08:03.060
when they do the soft on crime stuff for the retail theft that you actually increase the acuity of more
00:08:10.140
violent crimes as well because you're set you're saying what you're willing to tolerate and if
00:08:15.240
directionally you're willing to tolerate more violations of law then that's what you're going to
00:08:20.620
get not just in that isolated area where you expressly demonstrate your tolerance but you're
00:08:25.580
going to get it up and down the acuity levels of different different types of crime but the the
00:08:29.820
new wave of crime is is the migrant crime and there's been some good reporting at revolver.news
00:08:36.040
on this i want to go to the piece that you put up just days ago shocking update pet eating haitians in
00:08:41.940
ohio aren't the worst part of harris biden's latest migrant deception and you you shared a post from
00:08:49.040
creative dreamer and here's the post absolutely heartbreaking moment in springfield ohio residents
00:08:55.880
tell mayor that she can't take it anymore as haitian migrants squat on her lawn litter in her yard and
00:09:02.280
harass her elderly husband daily the mayor of springfield does not want the people to see this
00:09:08.060
and that's what people can say if they go check it out at revolver.news and and here's here's how the
00:09:13.380
reporting continues in case you didn't realize the u.s is now being invaded by a horde of pet eating
00:09:18.180
haitian migrants these uncivilized migrants have been settled in small towns across america and now
00:09:23.760
they're eating people's pets and the ducks and geese at local parks not to mention they're using
00:09:28.740
they're causing massive filth in these towns and squatting in people's lawns it's gotten so bad the
00:09:33.580
residents of these towns and communities are literally begging their elected officials for help and i will
00:09:38.680
add on to this when i went to yuma arizona i met with some of the farmers and they said that these
00:09:44.820
hordes of haitians would come over and just set up in the middle of their grain fields or in their
00:09:49.460
lettuce fields and with the health requirements understandably that they're under from their own
00:09:55.640
professional association they they have to then destroy tons of crops that uh that fuel their
00:10:03.400
opportunity to continue to keep land under agriculture management and uh there they specifically
00:10:09.560
talked about the groups of haitians being very entitled being very violent refusing to leave
00:10:17.640
whereas groups from other countries you know while it's certainly a challenge and devastating and
00:10:23.280
destructive um there wasn't there wasn't the confrontational element that that people shared with
00:10:30.720
me about the groups of haitians so uh you know what what brought you to this story uh how are people
00:10:36.720
reacting to it on on revolver darren no it's a great question a very important issue i just want to
00:10:42.480
return briefly to your mark that you don't even see some of this stuff in the actual third world and i
00:10:48.240
think that gestures toward a very important point that sheds light on the nature of the dystopia in which we
00:10:56.160
live under and that is typically you have either a draconian kind of centralized government surveillance
00:11:07.920
state no liberties but you at least get a bit of safety and security out of that there are not a lot of
00:11:17.840
you know migrant crime on the streets of pyongyang for instance notwithstanding all of the other reasons
00:11:24.240
you wouldn't want to live there but there's this weird sense in which we experience the world which
00:11:30.880
is we live in a country now where you can get arrested charged and convicted of a felony for
00:11:39.040
circulating memes mocking hillary clinton yet migrants can come in complete open borders rampant
00:11:48.400
criminality robbing convenience stores robbing citizens squatting on citizens property without any
00:11:57.200
accountability whatsoever so it's this world situation where ordinary citizens have to endure maximum
00:12:05.600
restriction on liberty and don't even get the payoff of a commensurate degree of security and safety so it's
00:12:15.120
like we're picking the worst aspects of the third world and the worst aspects of sort of a technically
00:12:21.760
technologically advanced surveillance state and i think that really characterizes what is distinctive
00:12:29.680
about this that we're living in in the united states in 2024 and as to the you know migrant crime the
00:12:38.320
new crime with haitians i mean all the stuff with pets is it's very scandalous it's very visceral and it touches
00:12:46.400
people on a kind of um on a psychological level that i think invites people to understand the scope of the
00:12:55.680
problem it's it's such a tangible expression of the cultural that i think exists more broadly with respect
00:13:07.280
the types of immigration that we've had for a while now but it's just so acute and it's so undeniable
00:13:15.520
and it's such a kind of scandalous expression of this that i think the silver lining is it actually really
00:13:23.520
helps people to grasp the depth of the problem when it comes to our open border crisis as such and you're
00:13:31.280
seeing just and frankly just incredibly sad people these are not wealthy people these are you know what
00:13:41.840
trump calls the forgotten american and it is it you know it's bad enough that we've emiserated the
00:13:49.280
forgotten american by outsourcing their jobs to other countries by demonizing them with a steady stream of
00:13:57.760
decades long sort of racially antagonistic propaganda again of all of the crimes that our ruling class
00:14:07.040
has visited upon the forgotten american but to add the ultimate insult to all of those injuries you'd
00:14:13.840
think at the very least can we expect the government not to dump on our communities on our rural communities
00:14:21.760
on our forgotten communities such that their pets are being eaten it's can we even expect that as a low
00:14:29.040
bar dr b it's pretty low bar basic just as a basic item of that contract can our criminal
00:14:39.200
government at the very least not dump haitians in our communities that rip the heads off of geese but
00:14:46.880
apparently we can't even expect that and that is downright outrageous it's so well said and yeah the
00:14:55.840
most powerful country in the world should at least be able to protect your community from tens of thousands
00:15:03.040
of immigrants being dumped in causing a destabilization of the social fabric and i love that the media in the left now
00:15:10.080
the the what they choose to parse is the distinction between geese and pets and andy biggs was on my show
00:15:17.360
yesterday and he has had geese as pets but i think that's missing the broader point right if you take
00:15:23.040
your children down to the local pond and park and you feed the ducks and the geese a little bit of bread
00:15:28.480
and have a warm family moment that's americana like i remember doing that with my grandmother you know
00:15:34.400
around the little pond where she lived and just like the thought that our community would then have to deal
00:15:39.040
with someone decapitating the geese like in front of the community is is a little much up liberty
00:15:45.840
lantern on x says yuma's my hometown and it's been destroyed phil on facebook says dr bd rocks and he
00:15:52.560
used about eight s's so phil's pretty fired up about that there's another story i want to get to
00:15:57.200
on revolver.news uh you published this just the other day breaking 71 year old grandmother killed by
00:16:04.160
haitian migrants uh i'll read from the piece what's happening in ohio should be criminal
00:16:08.880
the biden harris regime has unleashed a horde of uncivilized haitian migrants on this red state
00:16:13.760
causing the bottom to fall out of traditional midwest america these migrants have wreaked havoc
00:16:19.200
squatting on property eating pets and leaving decent americans living in fear the entire plot is to
00:16:24.960
turn america into a third world country it's sadly working and we have comrade kamala to thank
00:16:30.640
uh it goes into the details of this particular occurrence the latest victim is a 71 year old
00:16:36.640
grandmother who was simply taking out the trash when a reckless driver mowed her down killing her
00:16:42.800
the worst part the driver wasn't even held accountable uh some of that coming out of the
00:16:47.520
reporting from the uh the great uh and on account on twitter canoka the great and uh there's also some
00:16:53.520
some data here about where these folks are coming from to dr bd's earlier point about
00:16:59.440
when you what happens when you bring in the third world haiti is by far the poorest country in the
00:17:03.840
western hemisphere with a gdp per capita at about a 1748 haiti is the 12th most deadly country in the
00:17:12.320
world with 40.9 homicides per 100 000 haiti's education system is ranked 177th globally with a
00:17:21.680
literacy rate of 61 haiti has one of the highest prevalences of communicable diseases in the world
00:17:28.400
the highest std and tuberculosis rates in the western hemisphere nearly 40 percent of all
00:17:33.760
haitians practice some form of voodoo which involves witchcraft and animal sacrifice and
00:17:38.720
haiti is ranked the lowest on the human development indexed in in this region of the america other than
00:17:45.840
that it's a great country other than that bring them on over y'all come as they say in the south
00:17:51.680
and uh and and you know again the story of the 71 year old woman you know doing nothing essentially
00:17:57.840
getting getting mowed down uh and and struck by an immigrant like what what i don't think the open
00:18:03.360
borders people realize they go out and they go find rhetorically the most sympathetic classes of
00:18:09.760
immigrants right they say oh what about the children brought here by their parents and i mean
00:18:13.600
your heart of court you don't blame a five-year-old child for the immigration policies of the united
00:18:20.320
states right now you're not saying amnesty but you certainly don't blame the kid for that where
00:18:26.320
whereas uh you know here i think you the stories have to be told about the class of victims that are
00:18:34.800
an acceptable collateral damage in exchange for the open border policies dr right no it's it's just so
00:18:41.680
undoubtedly stupid and counterproductive and you know in the case of these traffic um violations
00:18:52.400
and just traffic mess my understanding speaking to some sources in ohio is that basically if they had
00:19:00.800
anything like a license in haiti they can just transfer that over and they're giving them tests in their
00:19:07.280
own language that are sort of doctored such that they're basically just handing them licenses which
00:19:13.200
could help and god knows what kind of harvesting plans um the authorities have for these haitians but
00:19:20.480
they're effectively given these licenses handed out these licenses they have no understanding of the
00:19:26.160
normal rules of the road and they're just such tragic stories of people losing their lives unnecessarily
00:19:34.000
as a result of these um traffic accidents and again is this unique to to haitians no um but it's it's
00:19:43.040
especially acute here to enter in accept the problem more generally of migration um if people look at
00:19:51.680
statistics regarding drunk driving they're especially high in latin communities that have been pouring into
00:20:00.400
the border for a long time and so with the haitians the traffic problem helps to kind of introduce people
00:20:07.440
to the larger um uh dangers of having people come in from third world countries that are large speaking
00:20:17.760
incompatible um culturally and across other dimensions and these are very tangible problems you know people
00:20:25.600
actually die from these traffic accidents not to mention all of the indirect ramifications of that to
00:20:33.040
the economy and otherwise and the structure of it is just whenever short-term commercial interests marry with
00:20:44.320
the kind of left-wing anti you have very powerful force and this undergirds the immigration problem that
00:20:55.440
you have you know these factories and businesses in ohio that are of the profit margins that come
00:21:03.440
from being able to hire these haitians for basically nothing but the haitians aren't cheap it's just that
00:21:10.640
these factories aren't paying the full costs the citizens of ohio that are being run over those are the
00:21:19.120
people paying the people who have haitian immigrants squatting on their property those are the
00:21:24.960
people paying the taxpayers paying for the additional burdens on hospitals those are the people paying
00:21:31.520
so in this very narrow sense some of these factories are able to get away with paying haitians like nine
00:21:39.040
dollars an hour versus the twenty dollars an hour god forbid they'd have to pay an american but when you add
00:21:45.200
up all of the um social i because they're more expensive it's freeers don't have to pay for it the taxpayers and
00:21:55.520
citizens have to pay for it and so you almost wonder you know i have a kind of a a riff on the military
00:22:02.880
industrial complex i'm saying they make so much money off of these wars wouldn't we be better off just like
00:22:09.200
calculating how much money they would have made on the ukraine war and just having the government
00:22:16.880
give raytheon that amount of money and just the actual war so at least innocent lives won't be
00:22:23.680
unnecessarily lost maybe there could be a similar idea for the immigration thing is find out how much
00:22:30.320
these you know stupid factories you know benefiting off of like shade dollars an hour or whatever find out
00:22:37.760
how much they would benefit and just like give them the money and maybe you know skip the haitian part
00:22:44.160
so it you know it's the the economics of it are um are really kind of a disaster and are the cultural
00:22:54.080
factors as well i think that are very uh very uh poignantly captured in the uh stories of the various
00:23:04.000
headless geese and such i think there will be more such stories and if folks want to see what's going
00:23:10.000
on and help us tell the stories of the victims of these policies and the way not just the victims of
00:23:17.440
people who get run over but the general degradation of american life that dr beady's been discussing
00:23:23.200
you're going to want to go to revolver.news that's where you'll get that stuff i'm a premium
00:23:27.520
member there so i don't have to see all the ads which is pretty great um i i want to get to one
00:23:31.840
more question before we let you go dr beady and i want you to zoom out and i've really heard two
00:23:36.800
theories of the case as it comes to the vice president's governing philosophy right one is
00:23:41.040
that she believes in nothing she is just a person who is singularly driven by ambition she's been
00:23:48.480
very successful as a machine candidate coming through california's uh state government and then
00:23:54.480
into the senate and then into the naval observatory and then there's another theory of the case that she's
00:23:59.280
an avowed marxist that whether it's her familial history and the values that she expressed as a d.a.
00:24:06.160
as attorney general then to the left of bernie sanders in the united states senate that actually
00:24:11.840
that's how she'll govern so do you view her as like a you know a holder of a dangerous ideology
00:24:18.560
or do you review her merely as a vessel through which others will play to an ideology but really have
00:24:25.440
kind of the same um the same mentality that's governed biden yeah you know that's a very interesting
00:24:32.080
question and it's always a difficult but i think important exercise to try to grasp you know the

belief structures of people like this i think ultimately it's kind of elusive if i had to guess
00:24:46.560
just what my gut feeling is is i don't think that she is really a committed ideologue
00:24:56.720
more is there i'm with ambition that's just my intuitive sense but ultimately i don't think
00:25:04.960
it really matters because either way kamala will represent you know inertia everything just getting worse
00:25:14.880
along the same course the same direction just with accelerated momentum a kamala presidency would mean
00:25:23.760
all of the weaponization of the bureaucracy all mental dei finance that's contributed to now a very
00:25:32.160
visible collapse in our ability to maintain you know the the basics of a complex civilization um the crime
00:25:40.400
that's run rampant throughout everywhere all of these things will remain in motion and just accelerate
00:25:48.320
that is how a kamala presidency cashes out irrespective of whatever happens to be circulating
00:25:57.040
or um i would say kind of unimpressive and uninteresting mind uh we're getting called out on facebook
