A Ukrainian immigrant woman was stabbed to death on a light-rail train in North Carolina, and no one did anything about it. No one even tried to help. And no one else did anything to help either. And that's a problem.
00:00:00.000Well, folks, the situation in North Carolina continues to percolate.
00:00:04.000It is a horrifying situation over this just dramatically evil stabbing of Arena Zarutska.
00:00:10.000She, of course, is the Ukrainian refugee who's riding the light rail and was stabbed to death by a 14-time offender named DeKarlos Brown Jr., who had a significant mental disorder, violent schizophrenia.
00:00:26.000The reason that this continues to be in the news is not just because of all of the issues that you would expect, the media's willingness to ignore the actual story because after all, the races don't match up with their preferred racial narrative.
00:00:37.000Not just because the footage is so horrifying.
00:00:40.000But there's another aspect of it that has now, I think, grabbed public attention.
00:00:44.000That is the horrifying tragedy of the fact that as this crime went down, nobody moved.
00:00:50.000If you go all the way back to 1964, there's a very famous case from Queens called the Kitty Genevieve's case.
00:00:56.000In that case, allegedly there's a woman who was and murdered in a relatively crowded apartment complex.
00:01:05.000And supposedly there were something like 38 people who heard what was going on, and none of them actually did anything.
00:01:10.000Now, as it turns out, there were some who sort of heard scuffling or her yelling, but didn't know what it was.
00:01:14.000There were some who tried to call the police, but there was no 911 system in place.
00:01:18.000That case was so horrifying to the nation because there's a full 30-minute period in which Kitty Genevieves was being then murdered, that the entire nation was shocked.
00:01:27.000And there is all sorts of work that was done on how to make systems like the 911 system better, how to train people to overcome what's known as the bystander effect.
00:01:35.000The bystander effect is where there are a lot of people in a particular situation, something bad is happening, and everybody expects someone else to do something, and so nobody does anything.
00:02:53.000One woman looks over at her, puts her backpack on, sort of moves away from her in the car.
00:02:59.000I know the temptation of some is going to be to say that that is a racial issue because the woman who is stabbed is white and the other members of the car are black.
00:03:07.000But this really doesn't have to do with race because it turns out that the first person to respond to her tragedy is a black man who comes over and brings a shirt and tries to stanch the bleeding.
00:03:19.000As human beings, we are utterly unprepared mentally, emotionally to deal with tragedy.
00:03:26.000I think we all ought to look into our own hearts and really determine whether we would be the person who stands up and does something, just as human beings.
00:03:32.000I think that there are kind of two things that needed to be done here.
00:03:34.000One, of course, would have been to tackle the assailant.
00:03:38.000Unless you are a true hero, a person who's trained for that, like Daniel Penny was on the New York subway.
00:03:52.000If this had been a Daniel Penny situation, and the criminal in this case, De Carlos Brown had gotten up and before he had committed the stabbing, somebody had put him up, put him in a submission hold, and he had died.
00:04:03.000And the person who put him in the submission hold was white, that person would have ended up on trial.
00:04:07.000That is the way that our political justice system too often works.
00:04:11.000But then there's a second kind of intervention, and that is are you going to step in and help someone when they are clearly suffering in front of you in a way that there is no avoiding?
00:04:20.000And the answer is for an enormous number of Americans, no.
00:04:24.000That they will look the other way, awkwardly move out of the way, glance at their phone while a woman literally bleeds to death.
00:04:30.000And so I want to show you what is one of the most tragic minute and 35 seconds of tape I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:04:38.000If you don't feel this at the deepest core of your being, then you're missing something inside.
00:04:44.000This 23 year old woman who's coming home from a job at a pizzeria, gets stabbed in the neck.
00:04:49.000You can see the look of horror on her face as it happens.
00:04:51.000She clearly doesn't feel the extent to which she's been stabbed, which is not surprising when people suffer grievous wounds very often, they immediately go into shock.
00:05:01.000And then you will see her slump over and fall to the floor and bleed out.
00:05:06.000Well, no one does anything for a minute and 35 seconds.
00:05:09.000Which is the time it takes to die if somebody stabs you in the jugular vein.
00:05:13.000So in between one and two minutes, you're gonna bleed out.
00:05:15.000What needed to happen here is somebody, if there was any shot at saving her life at all, somebody needed to stand up, move over to her, and immediately put pressure on the wound.
00:05:23.000There was no attempt to do that whatsoever.
00:05:25.000And you can see as the floor is saturated with her blood.
00:05:29.000It is truly one of the most horrifying tapes I've ever seen in my entire life.
00:07:20.000And then finally, finally, after a minute and 35 seconds, a young black man comes over, moves in there, and tries to actually do something about the situation.
00:07:32.000He clearly doesn't know what what to do.
00:07:33.000I mean, he doesn't have medical training in any way, shape, or form.
00:07:37.000But the apparent indifference of the car, I mean, the amount of blood is astonishing, obviously, and horrifying.
00:07:45.000The just pure indifference by so many in the car to this happening right in front of them reminds us that human nature is not inherently good.
00:07:53.000You have to train yourself to act in emergency situations.
00:07:56.000You have to train yourself to act in the proper way.
00:08:13.000Unless you believe that this killing was not racially motivated.
00:08:16.000The tape aboard this light rail car shows the alleged perpetrator in this case to Carlos Brown, literally saying, I got that white girl.
00:08:28.000Again, if the races were reversed, obviously it'd go back to a point that everyone's been making over the course of the last 72 hours.
00:08:34.000If the races were reversed, this would be a national story, there'd be rioting in the streets.
00:08:37.000If there had been a white man who stabbed to death a young black woman caught on tape, a bunch of white people sitting around doing nothing until one white person intervenes a minute and thirty-five later, and the white person were walking around the car saying, I got that black girl.
00:08:51.000We would be talking about the great racial reckoning.
00:08:55.000But of course, the media have no interest in that what whatsoever at all.
00:08:59.000Here's the tape of De Carlos Brown walking around talking about how he got that white girl.
00:09:04.000This, by the way, again, is very graphic footage.
00:09:06.000So again, if you wish to skip ahead, you have been warned.
00:09:09.000The End As he walks over, there's blood coming from his knife.
00:09:19.000This human piece of debris, this monster.
00:09:22.000You can see people turn their back, nobody doing anything.
00:09:26.000And again, it's not just black people ignoring this.
00:09:28.000There are white people on the car doing nothing.
00:09:32.000One man appears to turn around and then sort of move away from the situation.
00:09:42.000Again, everyone's moving very casually around the around the car.
00:09:49.000Pam Bondi has announced federal murder charges against DeCarlos Brown Jr., she says that Rina Zarudska was a young woman living the American dream.
00:09:58.000Her horrific murder is a direct result of failed soft on crime policies that put criminals before innocent people.
00:10:02.000I've directed my attorneys to federally prosecute De Carlos Brown Jr., a repeat violent offender with a history of violent crime for murder, will seek the maximum penalty for this unforgivable crime, and he will never again see the light of day as a free man.
00:10:15.000And of course, the system truly does need to be revised, top to bottom here.
00:10:22.000Recidivism is the normal rule for criminals.
00:10:25.000This bizarre notion that keeping people in prison is somehow a detriment to society is a lie.
00:11:14.000She was slaughtered by a deranged monster who was roaming free after 14 prior arrests.
00:11:21.000We cannot allow a depraved criminal element of violent repeat offenders to continue spreading destruction and death throughout our country.
00:11:29.000We have to respond with force and strength.
00:11:32.000We have to be vicious just like they are.
00:11:51.000The people of our country need to insist on protection, safety, law, and order.
00:11:57.000Now, again, this does not mean that the federal government has the power to overcome Posse Comitatus.
00:12:02.000You're not going to see the National Guard going in and literally arresting people for littering, jaywalking, or even crimes like rape or murder, because that's the job of the local government.
00:12:10.000However, the supplemental ability to put people on the street to deter crime, the ability to enforce the law, the reality that we need a national campaign against the horrifyingly bad George Soros-type prosecutors who have dominated America's major cities, letting criminals out onto the streets to rape, murder, and loot at will in an enormous number of cities.
00:12:36.000Caroline Levitt from the White House, she quite properly pointed out that the media had ignored the killing, and we all know the reason why, because the media have a narrative about America.
00:12:45.000Their narrative is that America is a white supremacist country, that minority crime against white people is due to backlash to that white supremacist system or the shortcomings for minority people, thanks to that white supremacist system, and that thus such crime must be ignored, that white on black crime is a reflection of the evils of white supremacy, i.e.
00:13:06.000the system, and that black on white crime is irrelevant.
00:13:10.000It is to be ignored because it might provide fodder to racists.
00:13:13.000Now, again, the low opinion you must hold Americans in to believe that if you see a black man kill a white woman, that you're immediately going to label all black people.
00:13:22.000That that that is not how Americans think.
00:13:25.000That is not how we were raised in my generation and my parents'generation, for that matter, to actually believe.
00:13:30.000I was raised, as were all of the people I know, by the Martin Luther King Jr.
00:13:36.000Creed, to be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.
00:13:41.000The media believes that certain murderers ought to be treated with kid gloves, and certain people ought to be treated with the full brunt and weight of the media, including police officers who actually have not committed similar crimes.
00:13:54.000I'm seeing people today compare this particular case and the tape from it to the George Floyd case.
00:14:00.000No, the George Floyd case involved a career criminal who is resisting arrest and died in all likelihood of excited delirium thanks to a radically enlarged heart and significant ingestion of drugs over the course of time as well as excitement from arrest.
00:14:16.000That is not in any way similar to this case in which an innocent young woman was simply slaughtered for no reason by a homeless, schizophrenic, violent evil person.
00:14:24.000In any case, here was Caroline Levitt correctly pointing out the media's willingness to ignore this crime.
00:14:31.000Perhaps most shamefully of all, the majority of the media, many outlets in this room decided that her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative.
00:14:43.000Many of the journalists in this room spilled plenty of ink, trying to smear Daniel Penny for defending a subway car from a deranged lunatic in New York City.
00:14:52.000But none of those same reporters lift a finger to write stories about an actual murderer.
00:14:58.000And she, of course, is totally right about that.
00:15:00.000She went on to rip a judicial system that allows monsters like this particular killer to roam free.
00:15:09.000Despite all of this past documented criminal history, when Brown was arrested yet again in January of this past year, a Democrat judge, who will, I will add, was a supporter, a strong supporter of former vice president Kamala Harris, released this insane criminal once again, without requiring him to pay any bail.
00:15:29.000He simply had to sign a written promise to return for his court hearing.
00:15:34.000Think about how crazy it is to ask a career criminal, someone who by definition repeatedly breaks the law to just sign a written promise and come back again another day.
00:15:46.000This monster should have been locked up, and Arena should still be alive.
00:15:50.000But Democrat politicians, liberal judges, and weak prosecutors would rather virtue signal than lock up criminals and protect their communities.
00:16:02.000Now, there's one further note here, a sort of cap, uh poignant cap on the story.
00:16:07.000So Arena Zarutska's family is offered by the United States government to fly her body back home to be buried in Ukraine, this beautiful 23-year-old person.
00:16:39.000So I think we can give her an America to be proud of.
00:16:45.000Okay, and here I would like to point out there's been a lot of debate lately about what makes somebody an American.
00:16:51.000And the first and foremost characteristic is somebody who loves America, truly loves America.
00:16:56.000This is a person who escaped the Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022, who is a new resident of the United States, who presumably was in the process of getting citizenship, and who loved the country and believed in the country.
00:17:35.000We'll get into the latest economic news.
00:17:37.000It appears the economy may be on the ropes, may have been on the ropes, actually, in the last year of the Biden administration, as we all kind of felt and knew.
00:17:45.000Plus, Israel strikes Hamas in Qatar and Russia is sending drones into Poland.
00:17:50.000First, Grand Canyon University, a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, believes we are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

00:19:58.000And meanwhile, there are concerns about the state of the economy.
00:20:02.000Those concerns were actually underblown last year, as it turns out.
00:20:05.000So there have now been massive revisions in terms of the economic reports about the last year of the Biden administration.
00:20:12.000Apparently, according to the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics, the pace of job growth was significantly weaker than reported from early 2024 through early this year.
00:20:22.000In fact, the official data showed between April of 2024 and March of 2025, 1.79 million jobs being added.
00:20:33.000Actually, as it turns out, we overcounted by 911,000 jobs.
00:20:40.000More than half of those jobs, in other words, did not exist.
00:20:44.000So that means the average pace of seasonally adjusted employment gains moved from 147,000 jobs a month over that period to a bit over 70,000.
00:20:52.000Basically, we're in the middle of stagflation at the end of Joe Biden's presidency, continuing into today.
00:21:00.000Tuesday's report marks the largest preliminary revision on record going all the way back to 2000.
00:21:05.000That includes the wake of the financial crisis.
00:21:09.000The job market has been significantly slowing.
00:21:18.000Because here is the thing all the important things that need to be done to protect Americans, to make America safer abroad and at home, those will go by the wayside and you will end up with a Zoran Mondani Democratic Party in charge of the country if the economy goes south.
00:21:30.000Jamie Diamond of JP Morgan is pointing out that he has worries about slowing in the economy.
00:21:38.000You know, I think the economy's weakening.
00:21:40.000You know, whether that is on the way to recession or just weakening, I don't know.
00:21:44.000And that just confirms what we already thought kind of.
00:21:50.000I believe it's the biggest going back to 2000.
00:21:52.000And the day after you and I sat down in North Carolina, about a month ago was the day that President Trump fired the commissioner at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
00:22:00.000And since then there have been some questions around politicization of the data.
00:22:04.000And since you operate such a sprawling bank and you have unique insights, do you see any gaps between the numbers that the government's putting out and what you see within your own firm?
00:22:14.000And are you increasingly relying more on the numbers that you see within your own firm?
00:22:19.000No, we we get we get data like you wouldn't believe.
00:22:22.000The government data is important, our own data is important.
00:22:25.000We get data from non-government sources and you know, you you can look at delinquency data, worldwide data, trade data.
00:22:32.000We get all of that, but trying to figure out what the economy is gonna do is still hard to do with all that data.
00:22:37.000And maybe one day AI will fix that problem, but uh, you know, hopefully things will be okay.
00:22:42.000And but you do see that kind of weakening, unfortunately.
00:22:45.000Now, again, it does feel as though things are on the precipice.
00:22:48.000It does feel as though things are on the edge when you talk to investors, they're very worried.
00:22:51.000It's one of the reasons why the Federal Reserve is very likely to lower the interest rates not just once, but many times over the course of the next year in an attempt to spur demand and make borrowing easier.
00:23:01.000Inflation, by the way, ate up all of America's wage gains last year, leaving household incomes little change beyond the richest households, according to the Census Bureau on Tuesday.
00:23:10.000Inflation adjusted median household income was $83,730 in 2024, which is exactly the same as 2023.
00:23:18.000So inflation basically ate up everything.
00:23:21.000The Joe Biden economy was incredibly weak.
00:23:23.000And again, this is a point worth noting that if the Trump administration wants Americans to feel sanguine, then the economy needs to be stronger.
00:23:31.000And it's not about the data that is coming out from the BLS.
00:23:34.000It is about the feeling that Americans have about their economic future and their feelings about their economic future right now are a little bit dicey.
00:23:40.000And that is because levels of uncertainty, it's because of the vacillations in policy, it's because of a tremendous feeling of just roiling in the economy, and that the biggest tech companies are basically the ones who are floating the economy at this point.
00:23:55.000It's something to keep an eye on for sure.
00:23:57.000And I hope that the Trump administration reverts to Trump 1.0 economic policy.
00:24:02.000They have in some areas, deregulation and tax cuts being some of them.
00:24:07.000When it comes to the tariff war, again, I do not think that the continuation of the terraform is likely to result in a booming economy the way President Trump believes, apparently, that it will.
00:24:17.000Okay, meanwhile, in other big news, yesterday was a huge foreign policy news day.
00:24:22.000It began yesterday morning with Israel conducting a relatively unprecedented air strike in Qatar.
00:24:29.000So yesterday morning, Israel conducted an airstrike to try and assassinate a series of Hamas leaders in Doha Qatar.
00:24:35.000That is because the president of the United States had put out an offer to both Israel and Hamas.
00:24:39.000Hamas would free the hostages, Hamas would disarm, the United States would help broker an end to the war.
00:24:44.000President Trump said this is the final offer, or something will happen.
00:24:47.000And then it turns out that something happened, that something was, because Hamas rejected the deal, which the entire Western media ignored, by the way.
00:24:53.000They said in Arabic that they had rejected the deal.
00:24:55.000After they rejected the deal, Israel promptly flew F 16s a thousand miles away to Qatar and struck a single site some ten times.
00:25:04.000It is still unclear at this point who among the Hamas top brass was killed, who escaped, whether they were maybe notified by somebody inside the Qatari government.
00:25:35.000They have been for a decade, staying at five-star hotels.
00:25:39.000Qatar also will spread billions of dollars in propaganda money, including via Al Jazeera, all around the globe on behalf of Muslim Brotherhood aligned groups like Hamas.
00:25:49.000So Qatar is certainly not a player with clean hands.
00:25:53.000And the United States is bizarre obsession with the idea that Qatar is somehow a big friendly.
00:25:58.000Qatar is friendly in the same way that Pakistan is friendly, meaning that they're they're kind of sort of sometimes aligned that certainly did not stop the United States from killing Osama bin Laden inside Pakistan, for example.
00:26:08.000I mean, this tape that we're about to show you is a flashback to October 7th, 2023.
00:26:13.000These are all leaders of Hamas literally celebrating October 7th in Doha Qatar.
00:26:20.000So I will shed no tears if these people were blown up because these are some of the most evil people on planet Earth.
00:26:26.000And yes, they are shielded by the Qatari government.
00:26:29.000here's what it looked like on october 7 2023 lest we forget Allah is not a good idea.
00:26:48.000This is them paying homage and being very grateful.
00:27:03.000Well, the Israelis said that it was a wholly independent Israeli operation.
00:27:06.000Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, Israel takes full responsibility.
00:27:10.000The Qatar foreign ministry condemned the attack as reckless and cowardly and said that it quote unquote targeted residential buildings housing several members of the political bureau of Hamas.
00:27:19.000Well, those aren't like specifically residential buildings if they are, you know, housing the political bureau of a terrorist group.
00:27:27.000The Trump administration tried to draw some distance from the actual strike.
00:27:31.000Suffice it to say, Israel would not have bombed a site in Qatar, which hosts a massive American airbase unless America had prior notice.
00:27:40.000Any contentions to the contrary are false.
00:27:43.000I'm sorry, reality still exists in the world where I am from.
00:27:47.000And the idea that a very strong and close American ally like Israel would not have let America know in advance what was going on while flying.
00:27:57.000Sophisticated military weaponry, a thousand miles toward the general area of an American air base is insane.
00:28:06.000Yes, America, sorry, America knew about this, but we're gonna pretend that America didn't, apparently.
00:28:11.000So here's what Caroline Levitt had to say at the White House.
00:28:14.000This morning, the Trump administration was notified by the United States military that as Israel was attacking Hamas, which very unfortunately was located in a section of Doha, the capital of Qatar.
00:28:26.000Unilaterally bombing inside Qatar, a sovereign nation and close ally of the United States that is working very hard and bravely taking risks with us to broker peace, does not advance Israel or America's goals.
00:28:40.000However, eliminating Hamas who have profited off the misery of those living in Gaza is a worthy goal.
00:28:46.000President Trump immediately directed Special Envoy Whitkop to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did.
00:28:54.000The president views Qatar as a strong ally and friend of the United States and feels very badly about the location of this attack.
00:29:02.000President Trump wants all of the hostages in Gaza and the bodies of the dead released and this war to end now.
00:29:11.000President Trump also spoke to Prime Minister Netanyahu after the attack.
00:29:15.000The Prime Minister told President Trump that he wants to make peace and quickly.
00:29:20.000Okay, now again, the latter half of the statement is the actual part that matters.
00:29:23.000The whole we knew nothing, we we had no idea what was coming.
00:29:28.000But even if that is true, the latter part is the part that matters, in which the United States quite properly says that taking out top members of Hamas advances peace because it does.
00:29:36.000If the people who are refusing a deal refuse to make a deal, then additional pressure is obviously necessary in order to compel a deal.
00:29:44.000And this, by the way, is Israel's last-itch effort to force a settlement of this before a full-scale takeover of Gaza City, which is likely to be costly in terms of Israeli time, blood, and treasure.
00:29:56.000They have to go house to house in a significantly populated area, despite the fact that Israel is telling everybody in Gaza City to evacuate two humanitarian enclaves.
00:30:04.000Hamas is literally blocking roads and shooting people in order to prevent them from leaving these areas so they can use them as human shields.
00:30:10.000So this is an attempt to actually end the war in faster fashion.
00:30:15.000Qatar, of course, is not an honest broker in any of this.
00:30:18.000It would not surprise me in the slightest if we found out that Qatar had warned the leaders of Hamas to get out in time.
00:30:24.000That would not be a shock in any way, shape, or form.
00:30:27.000Some others who've been shedding some crocodile tears over this, include the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
00:30:31.000Saudi Arabia put out a statement saying that they condemn and denounce in the strongest possible terms, the brutal Israeli aggression and blatant violation of the sovereignty of the state of Qatar.
00:30:39.000The kingdom affirms its full solidarity and support for Qatar, placing all its capabilities as its disposal to assist in any measures it may take, while warning of the grave consequences of the Israeli occupations, persistent criminal assaults, and its blatant violations of the principles of international law and all international norms.
00:30:55.000Just going to point out at this point that the Israeli planes would have had to fly over large chunks of the airspace of Saudi Arabia.
00:31:02.000So the chances that Saudi Arabia had no idea what was going on are approximately zero.
00:31:08.000Beyond that, listening to the Saudis caterwall over the killing or attempted killing of Muslim Brotherhood associated terrorists in another nation, even in a in an American allied nation.
00:31:21.000I don't believe you since the Saudi royal government literally ordered the chainsawing and murder of a Muslim Brotherhood associated journalist in the embassy, the Saudi embassy in Turkey, which is a NATO state.
00:31:34.000So, yes, I feel like you are crying some crocodile tears there.
00:31:38.000As per the usual arrangement in the Middle East, many people are very happy at what Israel did, but they're going to pretend that they are very sad, which is usually the way that it goes in the Middle East.
00:31:45.000Meanwhile, France, Spain, and the UK all condemned Israel.
00:31:48.000Again, not a shock there, since all three are soon to be Islamic states of their own.
00:32:36.000There will be no additional war throughout the region.
00:32:39.000The idea that it's somehow an escalation for Israel to kill members of Hamas in Qatar, but not an escalation for Qatar to host members of Hamas to the tune of billions of dollars.
00:33:02.000Well, meanwhile, it's always fun to hear from idiot democrats like Senator Jack Reid of Rhode Island, who says that the recent attacks on Hamas diminished the prospects of returning people alive.
00:33:09.000Well, that's weird since Hamas literally rejected the prospect of returning hostages alive this morning, or yesterday morning, rather.
00:33:17.000This certainly diminishes the prospects of returning the hostages, and particularly those who are still alive, because what Hamas is saying right now is that the United States lured these people into Qatar in order to set up the Israeli strike.
00:33:34.000So that undercuts our ability to be an interlocutor and someone they're gonna help moderate a piece.
00:33:42.000And it certainly uh increases their uh disbelief and whether Netanyahu is serious about a ceasefire and a release of the hostages.
00:33:53.000Already coming up, Russia actually sent a bunch of drones last night over into Poland, actually.
00:33:59.000It's getting very, very spicy out there.
00:34:01.000Plus, New Poland showing someone Mam Dani is almost certain to be the next mayor of New York first.

00:36:40.000Okay, so meanwhile, the situation abroad continues to percolate in a wide variety.
00:36:46.000It turns out that nefarious nations, nefarious countries and leaders do nefarious things.
00:36:51.000I know it's a shock because the typical routine that we get from the horseshoe theory right and left is that everything is blowback to American activity.
00:36:59.000But last night, Russia apparently decided to unleash drones over Polish territory.
00:37:04.000Now, Poland is, of course, a member of NATO.
00:37:07.000If these Shahead drones, which are Iranian-made drones, were to crash in Poland, you could be looking at an Article V intervention, which means NATO would be directly at war with Russia.
00:37:17.000They've been doing this sort of thing in Moldova as well.
00:37:20.000Apparently, there is footage of fighter jets flying over the skies outside Lublin City Center in eastern Poland in an attempt to protect against these sort of drone incursions.
00:37:34.000On the night of Wednesday, September 10th, Russian Shahead drones, which are again Iranian-made, the alliance between Russia-China, and Iran is fairly solid, crossed the Ukrainian border and entered Polish airspace, according to the Ukrainian Air Force.
00:37:46.000And around 1.13 a.m., the Ukrainian Air Force reported the Russian army had launched several new groups of Shahid strike drones.
00:37:53.000It was reported the enemy Shahid drones had left Ukrainian airspace and were now detected over Poland.
00:37:57.000They were heading west toward the city of Jamosh.
00:38:01.000At the same time, monitoring channels indicated Poland had scrambled its F-16 fighters to intercept any of those drones.
00:38:07.000It is likely that this is a screw up by the Russian government.
00:38:10.000However, long wars with increased Russian aggression can result in particularly bad activity.
00:38:17.000And Russia, of course, has been radically escalating.
00:38:20.000Their drone assaults on Kyiv have been escalating night after night after night.
00:38:24.000According to the Wall Street Journal, just two days ago, a Russian glide bomb killed at least 23, mostly elderly in eastern Ukraine.
00:38:32.000And of course, we have seen drone attacks numbering in the hundreds of drones all across Ukraine over the course of the last week.
00:38:39.000There's no question that Russia, Iran, its allies, they are pushing.
00:39:05.000When it turned out that she couldn't stop the sun from making the earth warm, she decided that the best thing to do would be to complain and whine about the Gaza Strip.
00:39:15.000And so she has twice now attempted to float her way to Gaza.
00:39:18.000The first time she's picked up and arrested.
00:39:25.000And she accused, and members of the crew accused Israel of hitting the boat with a drone.
00:39:29.000And this led to the usual suspects on X.com, your repository for massive amounts of human stupidity, to immediately assume that Israel was somehow droning Greta Thunberg.
00:39:43.000What actually happened, hilariously enough, is that some moron on her boat fired a flare, and the flare came down on the boat and set it on fire.
00:39:56.000So they had posted a video of the flair coming down calling it a drone attack, and actually, it was actually just a flare that someone fired in the air and it came back down because that's how gravity works.
00:40:26.000That rule is that they are going to completely misinterpret the Supreme Court to the worst possible effect every single time.
00:40:32.000So the Supreme Court recently ruled that a restraining order from a federal judge in LA restricting ICE from conducting stops without reasonable suspicion could be removed.
00:40:44.000The restraining order could be removed.
00:40:46.000The concurrence in this particular case was written by Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
00:40:53.000And essentially, the decision said that you can use a wide variety of factors in coordination to determine whether or not you can pull somebody over and ask them about their immigration status.
00:41:02.000And those things can be like where you are.
00:41:04.000Are you in a Home Depot parking lot where day laborers who are frequently illegal immigrants are picked up, are in an area that has a lot of illegal immigrants?
00:41:11.000Is the person Latino is one of the factors, but does the person speak English well or almost not at all?
00:41:17.000This would be cause for reasonable suspicion.
00:41:20.000That does not mean you can arrest the person, but you can actually ask them for their immigration status.
00:41:25.000So the left immediately said this is racial profiling.
00:41:28.000Sonia Sotomayor wrote a 21-page dissent because anything that is worth saying in one sentence requires 21 pages from our second most foolish justice, Katanji Brown Jackson now taking the cake.
00:41:40.000She wrote, We should not have to live in a country where the government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speak Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job.
00:41:47.000The government can ask them about their immigration status in a high illegal immigrant area, because otherwise, how precisely would it be that you can enforce immigration law?
00:41:55.000Reasonable suspicion is always the basis of, for example, a stop and frisk or a request for ID.
00:42:04.000So Temayora said that ICE agents are not simply questioning people, they are seizing people by using firearms and physical violence.
00:42:10.000Kavanaugh said immigration stops based on reasonable suspicion of illegal presence have been an important component of U.S. immigration enforcement for decades across several presidential administrations.
00:42:19.000But of course, we have to do this the dumb way.
00:42:21.000So yesterday, Mika Brzezinski over on MSNBC got into it with Tom Homan, and Tom Homan had to explain that actually detaining people and then sometimes deporting people is not in fact disappearing people like you are taking them and sending them to a Stalin gulag.
00:42:36.000I speak with integrity, I speak with honesty, and I speak with facts.
00:42:40.000The bottom line is because of all this false narrative, and you use the term disappearing people.
00:43:14.000That's enforcing the laws of this country and make this country safer.
00:43:18.000Well, I mean, that that seems perfectly legitimate, but it wasn't over there.
00:43:22.000Homan then had to explain to Mika Brzezinski that actually when people come into the country illegally, that is a crime for which you can be arrested and deported.
00:43:31.000If they're in the country legally, that is not okay.
00:43:34.000And people think illegal immigration is a criminal crime, and it's not.
00:43:41.000There are millions of people standing in line, taking their tests, doing the background investigation, paying the fees to be part of the greatest nation on earth.
00:43:50.000And the people who are doing things the right way are sitting at a backseat where we had millions of people come across the border in a Biden administration and cheated the system.
00:43:59.000People can call them asylum seekers all they want.
00:44:02.000But if you look at immigration court data, nearly nine out of ten people who claim asylum at the border under Biden end up with order removal because they don't qualify for asylum.
00:44:12.000They're pushing themselves to the front of the line, and there are thousands of people in the world who actually are escaping fear and persecution from their homeland.
00:44:20.000They're sitting in the backseat white people have violated the laws, disrespect to this nation.
00:44:25.000If you want to be a part of the greatest nation on earth, there's a right way and wrong way to do it.
00:44:29.000Again, if Democrats continue to insist, and legacy media members continue to insist that everybody pretend that illegal immigration is not a crime, good luck to them.
00:45:32.000And there's still lots of open questions about where Epstein got his money.
00:45:35.000I think that's still the biggest remaining open question.
00:45:37.000Why were some figures signing him gigantic checks, for example?
00:45:40.000I think those are real and open questions.
00:45:43.000However, the idea that Donald Trump is covering for some sort of foreign intelligence ring, or that Donald Trump is trying to cover for prominent people who are children.
00:45:51.000There is zero evidence adduced to this fact at this point in time.
00:45:56.000And yet everybody continues to try to go after in the media, Donald Trump, because Donald Trump wrote a note before Jeffrey Nepstein was ever indicted for his activities with underage girls that was sort of a racy note.
00:46:09.000Now, the the Trump administration claims that Trump didn't even sign the thing.
00:46:18.000I think that somebody else in his office probably wrote it, and then he probably signed it.
00:46:22.000Which is something that frequently happens in major businesses is that you'll have an assistant write a thing and you might sign it.
00:46:29.000Particularly a birthday card you don't care very much about.
00:46:32.000But the media are not letting go of this.
00:46:34.000They believe that Epstein is somehow going to bring down Trump, which is weird because the same exact 50th birthday look book, or whatever they were calling it, that went to Jeffrey Epstein included a relatively racy note also from Bill Clinton.
00:46:46.000But nobody on the left seems to care about that, obviously.
00:46:48.000I mean, listen, they were fine with Bill Clinton, allegedly Paula Jones.
00:46:53.000And they were fine with Bill Clinton stupping the interns in the oval.
00:46:56.000So why would they be upset about this now?
00:46:59.000They're just pretending to be upset about it by pretending that Donald Trump is somehow to blame.
00:47:04.000According to Matt Visor at the Washington Post, for Trump, latest Epstein disclosures bring continued political pain.
00:47:10.000Uh, have have you seen any polling data that suggests serious political pay in attendant on this?
00:47:16.000Because I think most Americans are chalking up Donald Trump's rather checkered personal life to the fact that Donald Trump has a rather checkered personal life.
00:47:22.000I do not think that many Americans believe that Donald Trump was raping underage girls or trafficking and underage girls or anything remotely like that, or covering up for people who are trafficking underage girls.
00:47:32.000Levitt said, quote, I did not say the documents are a hoax.
00:47:35.000I said the entire narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now that is absorbing many of the liberal cable channels on TV is a hoax.
00:47:43.000Here's Maggie Haberman over at the New York Times confronting Caroline Levitt over President Trump's denial of the reality of this supposedly horrifying note.
00:47:51.000You said the uh Epstein documents are a hoax that Democrats are perpetrating against the president.
00:47:56.000You've said he didn't sign the check, that he didn't uh sign the birthday card that he allegedly signed.
00:48:02.000So what is the theory since these documents came from the Epstein state?
00:48:05.000Who is who is I guess in your view, faking these documents?
00:48:09.000I did not say the documents are a hoax.
00:48:11.000I said the entire narrative surrounding Jeffrey Epstein right now that is absorbing many of the liberal cable channels on on television is a hoax that is being perpetuated by opportunistic Democrats like Rokana and the others whom you saw on that press conference outside of Capitol Hill, uh, who are trying to push this hoax against the president of the United States.
00:48:36.000The hoax is the Democrats pretending to care about victims of crime when they do not care about victims of crime when they have done nothing to solve crimes, when they have done nothing to lock up child and child racks across the country.
00:48:49.000Uh, and when they are now using victims as political props to try and again smear the president of the United States and drag on this bad story about him.
00:48:58.000The Democrats view this story as nothing more than an attempt to distract from the accomplishments and the achievements of this administration.
00:49:06.000And that is what we mean when we call it a hoax.
00:49:09.000Meanwhile, Thomas Massey, who has been making this his signal issue, mainly because he's seeking to undermine President Trump's credibility.
00:49:14.000He doesn't like President Trump's foreign policy.
00:49:45.000The reason they're doing it is because they're terrified of President Trump's political machine.
00:49:50.000His not just his legislative affairs folks are reaching out from the White House to every Republican member of Congress who might think about co-sponsoring this.
00:50:01.000They're getting calls from the political machine that Donald Trump runs.
00:50:05.000We've got members of Congress who have aspirations of running for statewide office.
00:50:11.000And they can't run, they can't win a statewide office in a Republican primary with Donald Trump on the other side.
00:50:20.000Okay, or maybe many Republicans look at this case and given the fact that Dan Bangino and Cash Patel and Pam Bondi and the president and the vice president and everybody else has access to all this information.
00:50:31.000They think there's not a lot of there, and this actually is just another attempt to harm President Trump's presidency.
00:50:36.000Because that seems, you know, pretty pretty credible.
00:50:52.000This new poll shows Zoran Mamdani at 46%, Andrew Cuomo at 24%, Curtis Slewa now at 15%, and Eric Adams holding on for Dear Life at 9%.
00:51:02.000Now, it is true that if you combine everybody except for Mamdani, then they do have a slim lead theoretically over Mamdani.
00:51:11.000However, nobody has shown real interest in dropping out at this point.
00:51:16.000And so that basically guarantees that Mamdani is going to remain the front runner.
00:51:22.000Now, I think it is worth noting here how just far to the left the people of New York City are.
00:51:29.000Mamdani has an incredibly low approval rating when it comes to dealing with crime.
00:51:33.000His approval rating in dealing with the Trump administration is quite low.
00:51:38.000His strongest points are in dealing with affordability, where he really just says the word over and over, but has no idea how to achieve it.
00:51:46.000But he also scores fairly strong marks with regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, showing what I've been saying all along, which is that inside the Democratic Party, being a complete Islamist psychotic about the Middle East actually is a feature, not a bug anymore, which we could have adduced from the fact that Ilhan Omar and Rashida Talib are actually quite popular inside the base of the Democratic Party at this point.
00:52:09.000Well, if New York wishes to do this, they're gonna get it good and hard because that is the way that democracy actually works.
00:52:19.000But remember, you have to actually be a member.
