00:01:58.060 to the anchorman platform my good friend fellow host here at one american news pearson sharp host of the

00:02:04.380 sharp report some of the best investigative reporting for years on this network and pearson i want to start

00:02:10.100 with this theme of health and a report you've just had out regarding the vaccines and here's the thing

00:02:17.400 about vaccines when when i grew up i would ask my mom why do i have to go and get stuck with some needle

00:02:24.120 by the doctor and she would say well matt the doctor has to put in some of the dead viruses that go around

00:02:30.580 that way your body can build armies to fight those viruses and then if you're ever infected by them

00:02:37.440 those armies will already be built and ready to go and that made so much sense to me at the time

00:02:43.400 and now we are seeing uh so much revealed about the side effects and the consequences and i i can't wait

00:02:51.800 to hear what you've learned well i mean yeah that was the idea back in the day and i've even had the

00:02:57.560 same thought that does make sense but as we're seeing it doesn't seem to be working and rfk just came

00:03:05.400 out and said uh one of his new requirements is he wants to have the flu vaccine manufacturers prove

00:03:10.920 that their vaccine is actually effective and they are up in arms they are fighting this tooth and nail

00:03:17.240 why why would you fight for something that would actually prove your argument if it works

00:03:23.020 um so the big headline this week was that uh the vaccine advisory panel said that we are we recommend

00:03:32.840 against requiring all newborns to get the hepatitis b vaccine which when you think about it

00:03:40.800 and their argument was why are newborn children being forced to get a vaccine that is for a risk

00:03:47.460 that only adults would experience you know a sexually transmitted disease the argument was that

00:03:53.380 mothers who have it might pass it on to their children which is valid but the percentage of

00:03:57.420 mothers who have it is extremely low when isn't there a way to test for that there is a way to test

00:04:02.640 for that so you would know ahead of time um countries other first world developed countries like

00:04:07.600 denmark only require 11 childhood vaccines the u.s requires 72 and they have similar rates of hepatitis

00:04:15.520 b so there's absolutely no sensible logic in requiring a newborn child to get this massive dose

00:04:21.260 of a vaccine as soon as they're born they don't need it um so i mean that was that was one of the big

00:04:27.280 arguments that came out this week um the other one they recommended that for parents who do get the

00:04:32.820 hepatitis vaccine for their child they get something called a serology test the parents go to the

00:04:36.640 doctor and say hey we'd like a serology test which is again kind of um a litmus test it's a marker it

00:04:42.040 says does this vaccine actually work it takes the blood from the baby and looks at it and says is this

00:04:46.740 vaccine actually protecting against hepatitis b is it building those arms right so and and the doctors

00:04:52.040 around the country and other doctors in the panel who voted against this said that's outrageous we

00:04:56.140 shouldn't be required to do this again why what is the argument against having to prove that this

00:05:01.480 actually works like you say that it does but what do you think that is what because i think i know

00:05:06.620 what i i think i know what has driven the vaccine religion in this country well i think i do too yeah

00:05:14.820 it is obviously that uh these pharmaceutical companies want to start making money from your

00:05:21.380 first breath yeah and the more they can plow into you absolutely before that second birthday uh the more

00:05:27.140 they can monetize americans just existing and it it is crazy to see how many big pharma lobbyists

00:05:35.240 exist for every member of congress it is wild on almost any other news network you could turn on to

00:05:41.660 see how many of the ads are big pharma ads you want to know why you're not going to get the truth

00:05:45.600 about big pharma and vaccines on cnn or fox news or whatever new name they've given msnbc this week

00:05:53.360 it's it those messages those opinions that analysis is all sponsored by the very industry that now wants

00:06:00.820 to avoid criticism and review and i'm not a scientist i'm a lawyer but i know this when you're finding the

00:06:06.900 truth you you can't have a predetermined outcome and they're the outcome they want is to be able to get

00:06:14.620 their drugs into as many people as possible as fast as possible and i would just like to go to cvs or

00:06:20.360 walgreens one time to buy a diet dr pepper without somebody trying to like push the flu shot or the

00:06:26.740 covid shot on me from the parking lot they have signs it's not that they care it's not that they

00:06:31.960 care it's that they get a reimbursement from the government if they put that in you and here's the

00:06:38.240 the fundamental question you know there's all the data you're getting about the mrna vaccines

00:06:42.860 the myocarditis the what we're learning about hep b but is the trust just broken because i

00:06:50.100 get from a new parent's perspective how challenging it is to weave through all these different studies

00:06:55.200 and you used to be able to trust that if someone has made the decision that something is on the

00:07:00.880 vaccine schedule it is probably worth the risk to do it and now it's been laid bare that it is corrupt

00:07:10.640 it is financially driven and the reason you don't know the truth is because they have they have been

00:07:15.160 hiding the actual data yeah absolutely i think the trust is broken at least for me and my family and

00:07:20.940 i think for a growing number of americans uh for my second daughter i saved a mailer that kaiser sent us

00:07:30.120 they wanted to give my daughter 38 vaccines in her first year of life 38 now some of those are bundled

00:07:40.860 like the mrna and the d tap but when you break them down it's 38 vaccines why her immune system

00:07:47.840 hasn't even fully formed yet and you're slamming it with all these new chemicals and toxins the

00:07:54.640 adjuvants the aluminum sulfates all of these things it's it's unbelievable what they're putting in this

00:08:00.480 and you're not allowed to question you're not allowed to ask questions and um i'm surprised i haven't

00:08:07.400 tried to kill rfk jr at this point i hate to say it we're totally against political violence

00:08:12.240 they might have talk about the amount of profit he has put in jeopardy with some of these hundreds

00:08:18.420 of billions of dollars hundreds of billions dangerous stuff the um the one of the other big

00:08:26.120 things that came out was an internal memo from the fda where they quietly acknowledged among themselves

00:08:32.600 that the covid vaccines had actually killed children these vaccines killed american children

00:08:38.840 so far they've only come out and said that 10 have died 10 is pretty bad but the investigator who was

00:08:46.560 looking into this this is now confirmed the investigator was saying that the actual death

00:08:50.240 toll is much higher than that and the problem the other problem is that they were never able to prove

00:08:57.260 a correlation between the benefit of these vaccines whether they were worth the risk because the fda

00:09:03.840 never asked the drug providers to prove whether these vaccines were worth the risk to healthy

00:09:10.820 children they never asked them to prove that they just started handing them out they said okay well

00:09:15.620 we don't know if this works we don't know if it's safe but we're getting a ton of money from the

00:09:20.600 government so here go ahead try it and our children became the guinea pigs 0.98

00:09:24.640 it was this great moment of unity right i'm always worried when we have like too much unity

00:09:31.640 when we had too much unity after 9 11 we passed the patriot act and started invading countries without 0.84

00:09:37.560 a legitimate basis when we had all this unity after covid we printed all the all the money that

00:09:43.400 cost prices to go up for families and then gave liability protections to vaccine manufacturers and all

00:09:51.260 this money to essentially perform a test on the american and that is the other thing vaccine

00:09:56.800 manufacturers are the only companies in america that you are not allowed to sue if they harm or kill

00:10:04.600 your child that was the big republican ask so like you know during covid what the democrats wanted was a ton

00:10:11.620 of money to go awash in the economy and what mitch picannell and the republicans were arguing for

00:10:15.680 were liability protections for vaccine manufacturers like in this moment of great strife

00:10:22.000 that's what mattered to them and they got it yeah and they got it it's unbelievable um the last

00:10:27.720 admission that came out was that the cdc finally finally i'm sure under massive pressure admitted that

00:10:34.680 there could be and may be a link between vaccines and autism and i think that's them trying reluctantly

00:10:41.180 that's massive if you used to say that oh i know you're crazy you had to go like hide under your

00:10:47.320 bed and whisper it with your door locked or you were deemed a like uh flat earth conspiracy theorist

00:10:53.600 but you have to like you have to think about it because in in 1986 i think we had something like

00:10:59.420 like six childhood vaccines it was a very low number um and the rate of autism was one in 50 000

00:11:06.460 and now we have 72 and the rate of autism is it's like one in less than a hundred like one in 54

00:11:13.900 what they say what the vaccine apologists say is well there's better diagnosis right now there's

00:11:19.080 better tooling to say okay this person is on the spectrum you know but back in the 80s you might just

00:11:23.960 have said uh that that kid's a little off or that person's a little strange yeah i think that's

00:11:28.540 stretching it that's absolutely stretching it we didn't have these issues before we absolutely did not

00:11:32.820 i mean you didn't have all these people you you didn't have all these autistic people i mean it's

00:11:37.300 you absolutely didn't they're stretching the truth on that one uh i all right uh well i hope people check

00:11:43.320 out the sharp report on this uh it'll be airing on one american news regularly and it's going to be

00:11:47.960 very revealing i do want to get to some political news uh we have now seen the announcement of

00:11:54.040 congresswoman jasmine crockett for the united states senate position in texas she's going to run against 0.99

00:11:59.480 ted cruz for the senate in texas jasmine crockett you have to say she's taken washington by storm and 0.99

00:12:08.280 hair uh weave and nails yeah she she's been kind of a wild uh example of uh uh of excess at times in 1.00

00:12:18.040 her legislative and oversight presentations uh do you have a hot take on crockett for senate because i sure do

00:12:24.080 i i i hope that she runs i hope that she gets in i not that she gets in but i mean i hope that she

00:12:31.040 she goes all the way i've i've heard that the democrats are not that crazy about her running 1.00

00:12:36.540 right now and that they're backing away from her for obvious reasons but for that reason alone i think

00:12:41.460 i hope she runs all right you want to know the truth about tell me yeah crockett for senate is a

00:12:48.040 total republican op it is a brilliant republican op here's why okay in texas there was a real concern

00:12:57.440 several elections ago that that state could be going blue the demographics were changing the margins

00:13:04.120 for republicans were shrinking year after year and then something happens in this uh most recent

00:13:10.160 election election with trump the hispanic men in texas come hard right yeah and and you start to see

00:13:18.100 those districts along the rio grande go from reliably blue to purple to almost reliably red in some cases

00:13:28.240 and it it is zapped democrats in texas of their hopes that major shift now what we saw this last week

00:13:36.840 in these miami mayoral elections do demonstrate there could be a little softening of the support

00:13:44.380 for republicans among hispanics if you were going to take a maximalist democrat view on how the midterms

00:13:51.140 are going to go you would say well maybe some of this immigration enforcement has has caused some

00:13:56.540 erosion with the hispanic vote with republicans and so if you're the republicans in texas the number one

00:14:03.800 thing you need in a democrat nominee for senate is someone who will be repulsive to hispanic men 1.00

00:14:11.180 they found her i cannot think of a better person for this no that would absolutely do it

00:14:17.840 like there is no group of swing voting hispanic men that are like you know what that's who i want

00:14:23.500 my senator to be i mean yeah if you wanted to scare people are you buying that it's an hop are you 0.66

00:14:28.200 buying that the republicans are good enough to bait her into this race because she is the worst 0.99

00:14:34.740 general election candidate for them in a world in which the hispanic vote decides the the i think

00:14:39.480 that's a great theory i don't give republicans any credit today for thinking two steps ahead of

00:14:44.240 anything i'm surprised they get their shoes on in the morning but it is a great theory and it will

00:14:49.040 definitely work that would scare everybody in texas into voting because she's losing she's going to 1.00

00:14:53.360 lose her her congressional seat like they're redistricting she's got to give that yeah yeah 1.00

00:14:57.140 but i mean they're redistricting that and she's going to lose it anyway isn't she yeah it's yeah

00:15:01.120 it's a gentleman or district that won't be anymore yeah so this is her only option now hopefully that's

00:15:06.020 what's going to do it i i would love that to be true i just don't give republicans any credit

00:15:09.580 well speaking of which suzy weill someone i know very well i give a lot of credit to her she's the 0.99

00:15:15.260 chief of staff she's the president's chief political advisor she's saying that the strategy in

00:15:21.260 these midterms is going to be to put trump on the ballot to have him campaign we saw him this week

00:15:27.320 campaigning out in pennsylvania out of the oval office you know not uh presenting you know uh

00:15:33.480 there with the rose garden strategy but more the rally strategy uh is that the right play you think

00:15:40.100 in the midterms to to make it about trump because the way suzy wiles put it the traditionally what you 0.99

00:15:46.220 try to do in the midterm elections is localize them if you're the the party in power make it about

00:15:51.640 the road project or water project you brought home make it about you know improving economic

00:15:56.460 conditions for your state or your district she's saying no the democrats are going to make it about

00:16:01.200 trump we have to fight fire with fire we're going to make it about trump and it's just going to be a

00:16:06.220 midterm election about trump what do you think you might need to have both i can see as a voter where

00:16:12.140 you'd want to know what your representative is going to do about what's happening in your area but

00:16:16.920 i think the national issues eclipse a lot of what's happening locally and most of my fears

00:16:26.440 when i go to the voting booth are about what the federal government is doing and you live in california

00:16:33.440 yeah which says a lot yeah and so i think i think a lot of republicans today don't have anything if

00:16:42.060 they don't have trump which scares me when he's out of office well yeah what name the singular republican

00:16:47.320 achievement that emerged organically as someone's priority out of congress that got done

00:16:52.320 i mean what thomas massey getting the epstein files released and have they even been really like

00:16:58.020 that that's the one big that's just like a to me that's like a big fight about uh you know

00:17:03.020 nothing that's going to impact the price of goods the price of energy daily living the things that

00:17:07.800 are going to decide the midterm elections so i think rallying around trump is a good thing like

00:17:12.400 like we talked about before the show i think it could it could come back and hurt them if they

00:17:17.160 pin too much on that but trump has unified our country and our party in ways that nobody has in

00:17:24.320 decades maybe ever i mean i don't i can't think of anybody else who has represented a party and an

00:17:30.320 ideology and a movement and a a desire a zeitgeist among the american people like trump has

00:17:36.500 for better or for worse and and you know he's not perfect but he's he's brought our country together

00:17:42.560 and so i think tying yourself to that is what a lot of people want and for me like here in california

00:17:47.100 we have people running we've had people running in the past for governor and they try and distance

00:17:51.140 themselves from trump you know republicans do and that's such a turnoff like you need everything

00:17:56.980 that he represents he represents the best of america well what about like the the mod effort

00:18:03.220 to say well you know i really like anything mod no anything but i don't like his tone i don't like

00:18:08.980 no so for me trump is not extreme enough i i think we need to go more extreme like trump is here i want

00:18:14.860 to be over here donald j trump is a moderate in the pearson sharp movement yeah we got to go farther

00:18:19.640 but but i think that that is instructive for some of these candidates um it's especially coming from

00:18:26.600 someone as smart as suzy wiles if you're going to go with that thing that version of well i agree 1.00

00:18:31.720 with him on some things and disagree with him on other and i'm going to stand up to him when i need

00:18:36.040 to and support him if you go with that it is kryptonite to that low propensity voter who is not dialed in

00:18:44.580 to politics who's probably you know not up to date on the changes to the fed interest rates but has to

00:18:53.300 believe that trump is fighting for them and that their member of congress will fight for trump

00:18:58.400 i think the moderates weren't the ones who elected trump it was he appealed to the the base and the

00:19:05.240 base wants this this they want to go to the wall on this you know they don't want a moderate so i think

00:19:12.180 i think it could work are you writing the midterms off because i might be and and this will that my

00:19:19.200 followers won't like this on the internet this you know the the steve bannonites uh who i love steve

00:19:24.220 but they'll say you know you you you fight to the end look i get it i'm gonna be out there

00:19:28.160 campaigning i'll do everything i can at the same time if you see an army that is right preparing

00:19:34.560 an onslaught and coming for you you don't wait for him to get there there's value to digging some

00:19:38.980 trenches yeah in advance yeah and if i were the trump white house right now i would have some team

00:19:45.740 somewhere preparing for the moment that hakeem jeffries becomes the speaker and jamie raskin

00:19:52.720 gets an oversight gavel and aoc is firing off subpoenas uh and let's hope it doesn't come to

00:19:59.600 that but if it does we shouldn't start at that moment saying okay well who's gonna be the person

00:20:05.840 most knowledgeable you want to try and find your underwear in the middle of the night like you want

00:20:09.520 to know what's going on and we can do that and and it must be done because it's easy to identify

00:20:14.360 where the democrats are going to go they're going to be all about the abrigo garcia thing they're

00:20:18.700 obsessed with the ms13 guy that got sent to el salvador they're obsessed with protecting the

00:20:23.600 narco terrorists in the gulf of america they'll want to know all about that that we'll have to

00:20:28.260 relive the houthi signal group chat uh and on those areas where they've already signaled they're

00:20:36.000 going to run plays let's go start setting up the defense right now yeah it's my perspective i completely

00:20:41.440 agree i am with you i'm not optimistic that we're going to keep the fact optimistic would be a 0.97

00:20:47.560 stretch i don't think we're going to keep it and hands why is that i mean the republicans are useless 0.99

00:20:54.600 they're absolutely useless they haven't been helping trump they haven't been helping they would say 0.99

00:20:58.860 pearson they would say we passed the reconciliation bill that built the rails for the deportations we 0.99

00:21:05.040 stopped the nationwide injunctions we held spending at the biden levels and didn't allow any increase

00:21:12.220 in spending and you know jim comey has been arrested uh brennan is referred for prosecution and and you

00:21:19.440 know under review tish james got arrested i mean there were there was some action on the weaponization

00:21:25.500 front that's that doesn't do it for you no that doesn't do it for me we've got this ndaa coming up

00:21:30.080 where we're giving more money to ukraine uh what were the other ones on that um it's it's not

00:21:37.820 heartening to see all the the letdowns that we've had trump can't can't get his people in the the

00:21:43.860 democrats were getting people in left and right when they had power and republicans have just been

00:21:47.100 sitting on their thumbs i am not impressed what the republicans have been doing well let's talk about

00:21:51.360 that so i mean there is conventional wisdom that the party in the white house loses the house and like

00:21:57.060 that generally seems to be the case but if if you knew you were going to lose the midterms

00:22:03.220 think about how you would spend every day that you had the presidency the house the senate the

00:22:10.580 supreme court all these governor mansions if you thought you were going to be wiped out in the

00:22:14.420 midterms you would try to get 16 hours out of every one of these days moving every priority you

00:22:19.840 possibly could to save the country and you would be willing to sacrifice the majority sacrifice your

00:22:25.120 members make them take tough votes make them say you know what this vote might cost you your

00:22:29.080 election but at the end of the day we've got it now we've got a hold of the ball now and we can

00:22:35.220 we can get voter id done nationally or not this is this is the chance let's get rid of obamacare

00:22:41.860 why can't we do that get rid of obamacare the news this week is that moderates in yeah they've

00:22:47.160 got their own version the house are they want a clean extension they're going to work with democrats

00:22:51.300 on a clean extension see this is this is why this is what pisses off american voters is what pisses 0.52

00:22:55.340 me off this isn't working this is dysfunctional well by the way the people receiving those subsidies

00:23:00.400 uh would say well a bunch of us are trump voters and by the way why are you cutting our subsidies

00:23:06.440 when you're still sending money to ukraine and people all over the world well i'd agree with that

00:23:10.740 let's stop sending money to ukraine yeah let's let's stop doing that you would you would cut a lot of

00:23:14.220 it now you mentioned the uh frustration president trump has about his appointees we got a hot mic moment from

00:23:20.360 the president we did let's play it and we'll react after after that moment you know i cannot

00:23:25.460 all right pearson president trump reasonably frustrated and upset yeah absolutely senate

00:23:39.700 congress it doesn't matter the republicans are not on his side he's shaking up the establishment and

00:23:43.260 they don't like that and that's well there's a specific dispute yeah there's a specific dispute

00:23:48.440 about blue cards are you familiar with this no so there is a tradition in the senate that if you

00:23:55.280 are nominated from a particular state that if the two senators from your state don't agree then you

00:24:02.640 don't even get a hearing you don't even get considered and so the the gatekeeper for consideration

00:24:09.320 of confirmation in the senate the baseline is that your senators have to be for you well you know

00:24:15.360 in my case when i saw confirmation gosh the first two phone calls i got were marco rubio and rick scott

00:24:20.800 saying we're gonna go be your greatest champions but when alina haba an all-around good person who was

00:24:26.580 trying to enforce the law and do the right thing uh was told that to even get a hearing in the united

00:24:32.720 states senate judiciary committee should it go pick cory booker yeah yeah what what is the point of a

00:24:38.700 majority if we're doing trump can't get his appointees he can't get alina haba but mom donnie 0.93

00:24:44.980 can get a convicted criminal to be in charge of his public safety and no one questions that

00:24:50.920 wait tell me about this i haven't been following you're not aware of that no so he picked a convicted

00:24:55.820 felon who spent seven years in jail uh he's a rapper what did he do armed robbery and so he

00:25:02.180 picked him crime is what you're saying right yeah so he picked him to be in charge of his public

00:25:06.300 safety council no way an armed robbery guy in charge of the public safety council yeah it may

00:25:10.480 not be a public safety but it's in charge of the public safety that's yeah so he can get his pick

00:25:15.920 and no one bats an eye like yeah great let's give this rapper you know oh he served his time he's he's 0.89

00:25:20.820 a valuable member of her but we can't get alina haba it's unbelievable this is a clown show well and

00:25:26.760 i think trump is looking at this and saying the republicans and democrats aren't even playing the

00:25:31.360 same game by the same rules like no do you do you honestly believe if kamala harris had won that

00:25:36.500 election and democrats had control of the senate that they wouldn't fire somebody through without

00:25:41.180 asking right marco rubio and rick scott one no they wouldn't take no prisoners they would have done

00:25:46.080 what they were trying to throw us all in jail they were they were saying people were domestic terrorists

00:25:50.280 who you know uh had no intention of breaking the law yeah and uh so that is trump's frustration

00:25:56.140 but you've got senator grassley you know in his late 80s leading the senate judiciary committee uh

00:26:02.100 and uh it's uh it it's maybe why we uh why we can't have a bunch of out-of-touch dinosaurs in

00:26:07.940 charge of this place but one place where the rule of law seemingly has collapsed and all the media has

00:26:13.200 been covering we've been covering it a ton on the mac age show is like mogadishu west or as we call it

00:26:18.880 minneapolis uh these revelations of fraud um congresswoman uh omar talking about the interconnectivity

00:26:28.100 between somalia and uh and what we're seeing in uh you know in minneapolis what do you what's your

00:26:36.580 read on this uh do you think this is something that we're going to encounter in a lot of u.s cities or

00:26:40.800 is it something really unique about how many somalis were just dumped in minneapolis in the 90s

00:26:45.960 that's very strange why they got dumped there specifically like how did of all the places in

00:26:50.920 the country and where the world just end up minnesota minneapolis it's very bill clung just

00:26:55.120 like throw a dart at a map and say right was there i don't believe minnesota should really

00:26:59.820 be suitable for any humans to have to live it is so cold and miserable so i guess as good a place

00:27:06.540 as any but it is a lesson in the failures of of assimilation there is no assimilation and the

00:27:12.100 what i'm trying to figure out with this institutionalized fraud which is like you

00:27:17.000 know in the staggering it's the biggest in u.s history are we dealing with neglect and negligence

00:27:24.680 or are we dealing with a highly sophisticated system of of funneling these funds abroad

00:27:30.860 i think this is all intentional and i think it's all intentionally destabilizing i don't know if

00:27:38.840 necessarily the fraud here exactly exactly is part of this conspiracy but i think putting the

00:27:44.780 somalians there knowing they're a destabilizing factor this is the result of that it's all part 1.00

00:27:49.820 of that plan help bring down the system and you see it like you asked if it was just going to be in

00:27:55.280 minneapolis we're already seeing in other places what was it massachusetts they raised a somalian flag

00:28:00.560 over no vermont over one of the schools they raised a somalian flag it took down the u.s flag

00:28:04.720 and raised a somalian flag in solidarity and you had i think it was a congresswoman

00:28:10.360 it was an elected official and she was from somalia and she said my job now is to represent

00:28:17.440 somalia and i'm going to do everything i can to make sure somalia is taken care of

00:28:21.900 what happened to the united states well those were some of i think the comments that that aligned with

00:28:27.120 what the congresswoman omar had said in a different time yeah yeah exactly and omar fatah

00:28:32.160 yeah yeah omar fatah was running for mayor of minneapolis and you saw the video where he was

00:28:36.460 he was waving the somalian flag speaking somalian in his campaign video and vowing loyalty to somalia

00:28:43.960 like it's unbelievable you try to imagine the reaction to this if this happened like 50 years ago

00:28:50.840 30 years ago i mean even in the 90s you had people like bill and hillary clinton talking about how

00:28:55.880 we must have assimilation you know chuck schumer was saying people need to come here and be a part of

00:29:01.560 our country like you shouldn't come here and represent somebody else and and passing these 0.99

00:29:06.440 very actually strict deportation laws back in the day bill clinton passed a law i forget what it was

00:29:11.840 called but it basically gave the uh the government the ability to it's called expedited deportations

00:29:19.500 you get rid of anybody on any excuse basically it was like expedited deportations exactly what trump's

00:29:24.460 trying to do and clinton passed it so what we're looking at today is just absolutely astonishing i don't

00:29:30.320 recognize the country anymore are you satisfied with the deportation agenda and the pace i mean it

00:29:37.540 looks like they're moving at as fast a speed as some of these judges will allow

00:29:42.480 you know what i'm going to say i deport them all i mean mass deportations every day we need millions 0.94

00:29:51.860 millions gone we've got 50 60 million illegals in this country far higher than anyone has has 1.00

00:29:57.760 recognized it really has had an impact on the housing oh yeah housing and medicare costs um the the one

00:30:04.980 here in california calmed yeah calmed but uh that was a story that just came out ambulance costs here

00:30:11.600 in california in the last two years have gone up 400 percent they went from 300 in 2022 to 1300

00:30:21.200 and what happened well we had 20 million new illegals come into the country and that's a version of

00:30:30.340 health care that yeah anyone can access call 911 yeah and they treat it like they treat it like an

00:30:35.100 urgent care they go in for anything and we have to pay for it uh i i think that the self-deportations

00:30:42.080 that we're seeing outside of the mechanized to deportations will have the most kind of cultural

00:30:47.800 societal impact where people are choosing to go home and frankly i hope people make that election

00:30:52.960 because that's the most humane way to do this the most humane way is to send people their message on

00:30:58.880 the app that says you know you you were you were essentially welcomed into the country by an

00:31:05.180 administration that opened borders those aren't the rules anymore here's a thousand dollars to

00:31:10.100 gather your things in an orderly way and return to your home country i think that is wonderful and i i

00:31:16.900 hope more people uh take uh take use of it and you know what the um i think the worm has turned

00:31:23.660 where they're not going to ever be able to go back to the open borders with the excuse that it's just an

00:31:28.920 unsolvable problem i think that's what's durable about trump's policies is that he has stripped the

00:31:35.240 left of ever the ability to just say well it can't be done i'm so excited when we get our merriweather

00:31:41.700 farm shipments and you get a beautiful piece of ribeye look look at that marbling now i take it

00:31:46.860 out of the package let it get down to room temperature all i've got on here is a little

00:31:50.880 salt a little pepper and then a little avocado oil and then i've had my pan preheating with a little oil

00:31:56.720 head to merriweatherfarms.com and enter promo code matt g for 15 off your first order

00:32:09.100 yeah but it doesn't matter they don't need an excuse they never asked us we never voted for

00:32:15.300 mass migration they did it anyway that's what they're doing in europe they're destroying our 1.00

00:32:19.480 country without asking us once what we want it doesn't matter so they can give whatever excuse

00:32:24.840 they want and they get away with it because the media backs them up europe has struggled from these

00:32:29.900 war migrants i mean we we talk a lot about these middle east policies that uh that cause violence

00:32:35.420 and cause war that are perpetrated in in different places and that arise in different places um i'm

00:32:40.800 very interested in your perspective on what's going on in syria right now because you've been to the

00:32:45.800 country you uh have reported on the conditions for a lot of the religious minorities and christians

00:32:52.780 there now we've got this new president who seems to be celebrated in the arab world but what are you

00:32:59.780 what are you able to tell us about kind of the conditions in in syria right now they're horrific

00:33:04.760 they're absolutely horrific and it's not getting covered and you have shockingly i don't i do not

00:33:11.100 understand it you have the same media organizations and the same world leaders who were condemning

00:33:19.160 bashar al-assad for attacking his civilians praising the new leader jelani for being this this

00:33:27.320 scion of peace and democracy and ushering in a new era for syria and he's he's a savage he's a barbarian 0.98

00:33:37.820 he's isis he is the face of isis he fought for al-qaeda for al-nusra he's the worst person in the world 0.93

00:33:45.120 who could be leading a country and he's slaughtering thousands tens of thousands of christians of alawites 1.00

00:33:51.240 of minorities they're the the atrocities that are happening under him the people that i've spoken to

00:33:58.020 who have fled syria people who are still in touch syrians who are still in touch with their families

00:34:01.740 there send me videos that turn your guts it's awful and and somehow he's being accepted as this

00:34:10.920 righteous upstanding leader and we're welcoming him welcoming him in the western world i do not

00:34:16.200 understand it israel is launching attacks in syria they've got they've got troops that are that are

00:34:22.780 there in the golan area is israel righteous in in attacking their neighbor syria given the conditions 0.73

00:34:29.300 that you've just laid out i think israel has its own agenda uh for that specifically in the golan heights

00:34:34.900 they certainly don't want to have such a destabilizing influence right on their border

00:34:40.820 um but i don't think what they're doing is for humanitarian purposes they're there's four

00:34:46.600 um once their own security i don't think they care that much about what's happening in in syria

00:34:53.740 humanitarian wise um two there's resources i think they're fighting for i think they'd love to have

00:35:00.760 some territory in syria um in addition to the golan heights um there's also a sect of uh a

00:35:10.800 religious sect and i forget the name of the jews yeah i think it's the jews yeah uh who are in

00:35:17.240 some of the areas in syria that they're defending and so that's that's one other reason because there's

00:35:21.720 a lot of jews in israel yeah that it's an important constituency no doubt uh jelani does seem to have

00:35:28.460 control of the country that was always an open question with assad particularly there at the end

00:35:33.860 do you think he lasts that's a great question uh he's he's well i understand he's being propped up

00:35:42.060 the saudis love him don't they they do why is that they really love him i mean i mean mbs really really

00:35:51.360 pushed for the sanctions relief on syria and on a lot of the recognition of jelani yeah he's he's an

00:35:59.300 extremist and a lot of the saudis hold extremist views even if they have learned to work with western 0.52

00:36:03.620 governments i don't think he can last because he's so oppressive but there may be external forces

00:36:11.580 that enable him to continue ruling and i i pray and i think all christians should be praying right

00:36:18.320 now for the people who are who are stuck there suffering under him right now what about this

00:36:23.540 theory isis won they did that's that's not a theory they did yeah there's this theory that that

00:36:29.620 what isis is is some little batch of fighters in the mesopotamian river that we've got a track down

00:36:35.780 actually what isis is is jelani and actually what they were trying to do was create a caliphate

00:36:41.480 and actually if the reporting that you're you're sharing continues to bear out that's exactly what

00:36:47.880 they're doing and so what isis wanted a place where they could control with a with a radical islamo-fascist 0.51

00:36:54.740 in control of it where minorities were executed it's it's hard to tell the difference between

00:37:01.460 syria today and what isis was trying to build yeah no absolutely that's not a theory that's reality

00:37:06.520 you nailed it and when you look at some of the concerning connections between saudi arabia

00:37:11.540 and isis on the funding front and then you start to look because i think that a lot of saudis

00:37:17.100 maybe not the government of saudi arabia but a lot of rich saudis thought well you know what

00:37:21.500 you see these iranian shia militias that rip across syria and occupy territory and and feed cash

00:37:27.840 back when they seize oil wells and resources maybe we need some sunni um they're ideologically aligned

00:37:34.000 forces that do the same yeah saudi arabia has been propping up

00:37:39.580 indoctrinating madrasas all over the world you know over the last couple of decades i think they're 0.52

00:37:47.180 not going to be that upset to have an extremist government running they also do the stuff with

00:37:53.200 live golf and they also have these commercial enterprises it's western outreach well i i wonder

00:38:00.780 how compatible all of that is long term right wouldn't we want a world in which every country

00:38:08.420 uh resisted their worst impulses and embraced a future that was uh more uh more modern and not

00:38:17.520 like you know tribal executionist i think that would be probably a good thing and uh saudi arabia i

00:38:23.600 think still has that choice before them yeah they do i'm not sure i'm not sure what the question was

00:38:30.740 with that though i i agree i that would be great i don't know the question is do you think the die is

00:38:35.000 cast as to saudi arabia or do you think they are in a time of evolution that is reflected by on one

00:38:40.780 hand entering all these western markets and sports and and uh entertainment and content and then on the

00:38:48.020 other side backing jelani in syria the problem matt is that it's it's their religion and it's not just like

00:38:57.920 a philosophy it's not like democracy like it's their core belief and it it it drives everything

00:39:06.380 that they do i don't accept the proposition that the islamic faith at its core is uh is conducive

00:39:15.000 to the type of of violence that we've seen in isis and and the worst terrorists i know plenty of people

00:39:21.500 who are practicing muslims who are peaceful wonderful outstanding people just like some of the worst 1.00

00:39:27.720 representations of christianity don't don't reflect the views of all christians yeah but there's no

00:39:32.340 christians around the world right now who run a government that beheads people or that stones 0.99

00:39:35.880 people to death or we've had our days when we have islam but there there are plenty of countries run by 0.93

00:39:43.620 by people who are of of the islamic faith that don't do that that are perfectly fine countries that 0.88

00:39:49.320 in some cases may have quality of life for their citizens better than in the united states like

00:39:53.420 singapore singapore is a as as some of the highest income that yeah but i mean if you if you high

00:40:00.300 quality of life low crime if you spit on the street you get stoned i mean it's like they have

00:40:04.040 some horrible laws i mean yeah but that's not realistic for like charlie crook said and like i've said

00:40:11.300 islam is not compatible with western civilization political islam you don't think people it's a 1.00

00:40:16.760 theocracy well not it's a theocracy not in every instance there are people who practice islam who

00:40:21.540 don't who don't fuse it with their politics i think it's so why don't you have these moderate islamists

00:40:25.960 coming out against all this extremism you don't often do i don't see that happening you don't you

00:40:31.220 don't see uh in in the islamic world people condemn hamas i saw every major country after october

00:40:38.180 7th condemn hamas it seems like everything that they do is either remain silent about these kinds of

00:40:44.800 things or or tacitly support what's happening support this kind of extremism i i have a different view of

00:40:51.360 it i think that you are seeing a rise of a lot of these middle eastern markets in riyadh and doha

00:40:59.940 abu dhabi dubai muscat oman and they they want to sit at the big boy table they in terms of capital

00:41:07.300 markets they are the big boy table and it is a time it is a time when they're having to reconcile

00:41:13.540 at times like violent tribal uh warring pasts with their desire to have access to different asset

00:41:22.500 i think i think that arabian deserts for the purpose of the billions that are at stake negotiating with

00:41:29.740 western governments i think they are able to tamp down some of their wilder impulses let's hope we all

00:41:35.220 can well but it's for the money it's not because they believe it's right and one of the funny stories

00:41:40.460 i saw was that um there was some i'm not a sports guy there was some major sporting event maybe it's

00:41:46.620 the olympics it was going to be held winter olympics in seattle or something and um there were two the

00:41:54.800 theme of it was pride it was going to be a pride event and there are two muslim nations who have to go 1.00

00:42:00.220 there and play at that event and they were throwing holy hell because it's a pride event and they 0.93

00:42:06.060 objected to that and i don't know why too well i absolutely would but i don't know why you don't see

00:42:11.860 the mainstream media holding them to task on this it's like when pride month happens every year

00:42:17.180 oh no they were when when the world cup was in qatar like the mainstream media was obsessed about

00:42:22.620 whether or not they were going to enforce their anti-homosexuality laws on people they seem to

00:42:27.700 get a free pass on this i never see it in the media about like no they were criticized roundly

00:42:31.180 for it like like uh all these companies bmw and and jet blue and boeing and stuff they all change

00:42:37.260 their logos during pride month they never do in the middle east in and they don't get called out for 0.98

00:42:42.260 that um to me that's not the middle east fault maybe maybe ours well i agree no i'm not calling

00:42:47.220 out them but i'm just saying like they don't it what they represent does not represent us and it's

00:42:53.600 not compatible that's the bottom line yeah i i don't think it's compatible from a governance

00:42:58.180 standpoint but i don't think or a life standpoint you don't you you would you would it really bother

00:43:02.440 you if your neighbors were of of the islamic faith yes yeah that wouldn't bother me at all i don't

00:43:08.160 think you can you can make judgments about entire groups because i don't i don't trust them i don't

00:43:12.720 are you secretly jihadists i mean that's like saying if someone is uh worships uh like when the fbi was

00:43:19.700 saying traditional catholics maybe they're all like you know uh in the clan it is crazy and false

00:43:26.780 and wrong um judgments to draw about groups of people based on on some of the behavior of their

00:43:32.280 worst members i will say that well my wife's family is from lebanon and there was one instance where

00:43:43.480 i believe it was members of uh hamas were going door to door rounding up christians 0.69

00:43:50.080 jeez to kill them and our their neighbors my wife's parents neighbors were muslim and they came over 1.00

00:43:59.040 and told her dad to hide to get out of there because they were coming well i'm sure i'm sure glad your 1.00

00:44:07.020 in-laws didn't have the same view of their muslim neighbors that that you i mean you can't you can't 0.99

00:44:11.660 just go to war with the people living next to you you have to you know you have to make it work with

00:44:15.060 your neighbors but at the same time muslims have absolutely devastated lebanon they've destroyed 1.00

00:44:20.440 the country the christians are fleeing they're doing the same thing in syria and so no i don't i 0.95

00:44:26.620 don't trust i don't trust that it's that that islam represents anything we can live with 1.00

00:44:31.560 all right final thing i want to talk to you about uh we got these negotiations going on right now

00:44:38.560 uh to end the war and it seems as though or between russia and ukraine and it seems as though

00:44:45.000 zelinski is saying that his line in the sand is any territorial recognition of gains by russia now you

00:44:52.340 and i've talked about this a lot and we we we knew it would come to this point where zelinski would have

00:44:58.740 to be revealed as somebody standing in the way of any sort of peace and it seems president trump

00:45:05.020 is getting that uh he was very critical of zelinski in his comments this week you follow this closely

00:45:11.300 you've been to the dombas region where this war was being fought you've met with the people fighting

00:45:15.220 this war what chapter do you think we're in right now we're in the final phase before zelinski takes

00:45:23.000 the fall because i think he is going to be the fall guy in the situation i think he has been held up

00:45:29.520 as this champion for so long and now he's in a place where he's going to be blamed for everything

00:45:37.100 and there's so much corruption that he's involved with inextricably that there's no one else who could

00:45:44.080 have approved or there's no way he could have not known what was happening so i think right of course

00:45:49.120 and i think that's what's going to happen and so i think this is the last period before that happens

00:45:54.180 and he takes the fall for everything and someone else replaces him and then we have peace so i don't

00:46:00.320 know what the timeline is for that and it may not happen exactly but is that why he's standing in the

00:46:03.980 way of any sort of agreement because he knows he's in the last act of this for his i think he still has

00:46:08.600 delusions of grandeur oh i still think he thinks he's in charge and he's not and he never has been

00:46:14.280 and so what he's doing right now is just showboating because he thinks he can hold it together

00:46:19.740 whoever to his credit i think he does understand that any leader of ukraine who accepts a deal where

00:46:27.700 you give up territory is just they're going to crucify you so he doesn't want to accept that he

00:46:33.440 doesn't want to be the person who carves up ukraine and accepts that deal but he's gonna have to be

00:46:38.560 well let me offer this pushback and you know i'm no fan of the u.s involvement in this war

00:46:44.880 voted against it every opportunity i had i think putin overplayed his hand in alaska

00:46:49.820 if you look at recent public opinion data nato's never been more popular than it is right now now

00:46:56.000 i don't have a very favorable view of of uh the excesses of nato and the way that it's operated

00:47:02.280 but when putin went to alaska and didn't really offer anything didn't really bring anything to the

00:47:08.960 table didn't emerge with a ceasefire or anything like that i think a lot of americans just thought you

00:47:14.540 know what this guy uh is is overplaying his hand uh and we're in this cycle of trump being annoyed

00:47:22.840 with putin for a while then annoyed with zelinski for a while and who wins the war may ultimately be

00:47:28.380 who wins the cyclical nature of of those interactions uh of president trump i think trump and putin and

00:47:35.720 we've talked about this i think trump and putin came to an agreement in alaska and i think they had

00:47:40.260 a very good understanding of how things were going to play out and i think things are playing out

00:47:44.180 according to their plan i'm not a big believer in conspiracy like 5d chess and thinking 20 steps

00:47:49.260 ahead that everybody gives our leaders credit for but i think that they laid it out and trump knows

00:47:55.900 zelinski's nobody he knows he's not in charge or calling the shots it's putin and trump who are

00:48:01.400 going to decide the peace deal and i think they came to an agreement and the problem like we've

00:48:06.100 discussed is that they couldn't just turn off the war in one day i think that they have to go

00:48:11.100 through maybe not an act but i think there's a series of steps that have to be followed because

00:48:16.980 there's people like lindsey graham who want to keep this going well then tell us pearson what's

00:48:21.480 what's the next step in the dance with trump and putin i think we're seeing it right now and i think

00:48:26.300 it's the corruption against zelinski i think all these investigations are setting up for him to fall

00:48:31.440 for him to be taken out of power and that's that's going to be the justification because we've known

00:48:36.820 about these things for years this isn't a secret you know he's been buying up mansions and he was

00:48:43.360 in the it was the panama papers and there was one after that what was after the panama papers yeah i

00:48:48.340 i know there have been he was mentioned in that as having a bunch of offshore property and not

00:48:52.180 declaring it when you know when he became president in 2019 and there's just been a bunch of scandals

00:48:57.260 involving him and for some reason the media has given him a free pass well now again for some reason

00:49:02.160 those same scandals are coming back to haunt him and by the way the media loves nothing more than

00:49:07.260 destroying a hero they've built right they build zelinski up and the media giveth feed him to the 0.99

00:49:13.960 sharks yeah we'll take him away well pearson thank you for spending the hour chatting with me about
