Hey, welcome to the podcast. It is the Friday podcast. Don't want you to forget tomorrow's podcast is Justice History Bender.
00:00:08.060
It's a guy who you may or may not know, but he had more hits than Elvis in the 1950s.
00:00:14.360
He was a bigger name than Elvis in the 1950s and had a career up until the Beatles came in.
00:00:22.040
He talks about the Beatles and what that was like.
00:00:24.680
He I mean, he has done and seen everything. His name is Pat Boone and the podcast is tomorrow.
00:00:33.600
And if you don't know who he is or you think he's an old guy, it doesn't matter.
00:00:37.400
You won't believe this podcast. It's an amazing kind of journey through every all musical history.
00:00:42.340

00:00:49.080
And also, don't forget that Steven Crowder had an amazing show.
00:00:52.580
He returned back to Blaze TV. You can find out by subscribing blazetv.com slash Beck.

00:01:06.200
And he explains why he was gone on Louder with Crowder on blazetv.com slash Beck.
00:01:13.320
So today we it was a lot of stuff going on, a lot of stuff kind of breaking today.
00:01:18.660
We talked to Bill O'Reilly for his scheduled hour every week.
00:01:24.040
Well, Bill's always, you know, he's he's just curmudgeoning at this point.
00:01:28.060
And he doesn't like putting up with our nonsense.
00:01:32.040
But we talked to him for a while about all the new developments when it comes to the White House.
00:01:37.220
Also, we talked about the March for Life and what do Americans really think about abortion?
00:01:47.100
Also, Trump's letter to Pelosi and the border shutdown.
00:01:55.740
And on the border, we had both sides of the border.
00:01:58.140
First of all, we talked to an angel mom whose son was killed by an illegal immigrant.
00:02:12.460
And then on the other side, we talked to a woman who had just finished bringing her husband from Mexico legally.
00:02:20.380
The legal citizenship process took him a decade.
00:02:23.620
And they're thrilled that they went through it the right way.
00:02:26.140
She actually said it shouldn't be made easier, which I disagree with.
00:02:38.740
You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:02:42.880
Patriot Mobile is a phone service that will give you all of the great coverage that you want.
00:02:56.700
They're just not going to take the money from you and then invest that in causes that you don't believe in, like Planned Parenthood.
00:03:06.560
Patriot Mobile actually is going to let you invest your money into the causes that you believe in.
00:03:12.220
But most of these sell companies, they give all kinds of money to crazy, crazy causes that you work hard against.
00:03:23.980
They're the only conservative cell phone company in America.
00:03:29.480
When you use the offer code Blaze, they're going to waive the activation fee for up to two lines.
00:03:34.240
PatriotMobile.com slash Blaze or 1-800-A-PATRIOT is the place to go.
00:03:38.920
Okay, there's some important news breaking about Donald Trump.
00:03:47.100
And that is the most important thing we could say about it.
00:03:51.340
And I want to explain why that should be your attitude today.
00:03:58.580
First, let me tell you about, I mean, some really, really important stuff.
00:04:05.260
I mean, there's a, you know, the government shutdown.
00:04:10.180
Which, by the way, do we have that letter to Nancy Pelosi from Donald Trump?
00:04:15.240
Because I need to read it on the air in case you've missed it.
00:04:20.900
It's what we were all promised when we said to each other, I don't know about policy, but it'll be fun.
00:04:30.380
The fun is just getting started with his letter to Nancy Pelosi.
00:04:40.140
We have the Mueller probe or the Mueller probe.
00:04:48.640
What we need is a really big cultural icon to come in and tell us what we need to do and think about all of these things.
00:04:58.500
And when I say, I mean, really big cultural icon, I mean, that's got to be like, what, the Pope?
00:05:12.280
Maybe he could be at the doctor's office and he has so much energy on his office because he's talking about everything we should do.
00:05:30.000
However, what we have for you is a former stripper who's now a rapper who raps things as the queen of rap, who raps things that are usually fourth grade level understanding of the world.
00:05:51.740
That's our cultural icon that is now rhyming her way into our world to tell us what we should do about the world and politics.
00:06:05.260
I wish there was a way we could just preemptively assign our votes to them.
00:06:10.500
Like, if we could just, if there was a program maybe the government could run, they'd have a list of celebrities, and then you'd just turn your vote over to the celebrity, and they'd multiply the celebrities' vote by whatever, however many were turned into them.
00:06:26.200
Well, I mean, I like that, but I have to see a picture, too, because I have to see the green eye shadow.
00:06:34.040
I have to see the lovely nails that are being done, because then I can trust that they know what's going on geopolitically.
00:06:42.640
It's usually the nails that put me over the edge as well.
00:06:46.220
Well, anyway, for some reason, television last night, it was like a Cardi B swarm, and we had this great finger-snapping routine that was—
00:07:06.100
For some reason or another, when I describe it as a punishment, that if you don't do as you're supposed to, dad's going to take you to school,
00:07:15.180
and I'm going to just stand out in front and just kind of do some dad dancing.
00:07:23.940
Anyway, so the political equivalent of a broken toilet plunger last night expressed a widely held—that you don't ever see on TV or from somebody in liberal Hollywood or entertainment—an anti-President Trump point of view.
00:07:51.000
They found someone who doesn't like Donald Trump.
00:07:57.580
So she called half the country racist, which, again, I haven't heard that.
00:08:06.340
And then she just took her courage and said, I'm going to take it to—I'm going to take it right to the people.
00:08:15.760
And I hope somebody in the mainstream media has the courage to play it over and over again.
00:08:34.420
She was like, look, this is what's happening with the government right now.
00:08:37.720
And this is what's happening with the racist people in America.
00:08:40.780
And they don't care about all of these poor workers that have jobs with the government.
00:09:02.600
Well, usually you don't get that from your finer strippers.
00:09:09.520
It's interesting that it seems like—and this is just an observation I don't have—I will
00:09:15.000
say I do not have the academic full study to back this, but it's just an observation.
00:09:21.640
I've noticed that when a stripper is able to achieve a different—you know, like enter
00:09:28.320
into another career, like this—in this case, rap, right?
00:09:37.780
When they find a different career, something as diverse and disparate as those two careers—
00:09:46.220
And, well, and also leaving, like, one thousandth of the normal clothing that people wear on.
00:09:57.960
So I guess my point is that I think it's interesting that when you are a stripper and then you change
00:10:06.440
There's not really a lot of people who go back and say, you know, I kind of like this one
00:10:12.000
Most people decide that, you know, I'm going to stick with this new thing that I'm doing.
00:10:23.940
That's not what you do with an observational study.
00:10:26.640
It just seems like the people who go and they choose this one career path and then get
00:10:31.120
another option choose typically the second option in most cases.
00:10:41.660
Are you trying to discredit the art of stripping?
00:10:54.300
You start escalating it up to double blind and to meta-analysis.
00:11:08.660
That bunny will have the ability to look behind and front.
00:11:17.680
And I'm hearing, I'm hearing stripper racism from you.
00:11:25.620
You somehow or another are trying to discredit Cardi B.
00:11:28.600
Is it because she's black or is it because she's a stripper?
00:11:33.640
I'm just, I'm just like listening to her analysis and thinking perhaps it's not astute.
00:11:41.500
Though she says so many words so quickly, I can't really tell.
00:11:46.700
Maybe she's unearthed in a major investigation against Donald Trump.
00:12:04.160
You snap your fingers like, well, you know what?
00:12:11.540
And then you seem to be shaking your head a little bit.
00:12:34.460
I'm not going to work on it on a national television and radio show.
00:12:37.840
That's one place I'm not going to work on that one.
00:13:05.840
I want to talk to you about one story, but I want you to know before you go off on
00:13:12.860
My opinion on this is there is no need to speculate because if people speculate and they bring up
00:13:21.720
stuff all the time and it turns out to be absolutely untrue and it's a waste of our time,
00:13:26.280
a waste of our energy and does nothing positive.
00:13:29.220
However, I want to give the story to you and ask you if this evidence exists, is this a big deal?
00:13:40.700
BBC is reporting as well today that Donald Trump instructed Cohen to lie to Congress about his
00:13:52.640
BuzzFeed says while they have not seen the evidence, which is kind of a big caveat here,
00:13:58.700
they have not seen the evidence, they have two investigators on the case that have verified
00:14:05.840
that they have more than one witness on this, and they have backup emails.
00:14:15.440
If all of those things exist, and that's a huge if, is that enough to impeach Donald Trump?
00:14:24.680
All right, I have a few questions before I analyze this, okay?
00:14:31.820
Is this before or after Trump became a spy for Russia?
00:14:41.500
That's why I'm not putting any credence in this.
00:14:47.840
But do we know from BuzzFeed, whether it's before or after, he signed on as a spy for
00:14:57.600
Now, see, this is why we don't speculate, because that's not doing any good.
00:15:03.100
There's no reason to smear Donald Trump, and there's no—go ahead.
00:15:09.040
Last week at this time, the New York Times had Trump as a spy for Russia, okay?
00:15:23.060
The New York Times did not have that he was a spy.
00:15:25.620
They said that the FBI looked in to see if he was a spy.
00:15:29.600
And quite honestly, I think everyone—I mean, I would have done that for anyone who the
00:15:52.160
So, Bill, is the appropriate no spin position here to basically say, look, if it's real,
00:15:58.400
it'll be in the Mueller report, we'll all see it together, and we can actually see the
00:16:07.680
See, if it's real that Donald Trump counterfeited $80 million worth of money, I think you impeach
00:16:20.900
You have an industry that is simply devoted to putting out on a regular basis the worst
00:16:32.560
stuff they can hear, come up with, or anything about Donald Trump.
00:16:42.040
Okay, I'm not talking—but wait, I'm not talking—Bill, Bill, Bill, I'm not talking
00:16:46.560
I'm going to go into your theoretical in a moment.
00:16:48.980
Because I don't—if it's just even Michael Cohen, and he swears on a stack of Bibles,
00:16:54.900
and he's sitting on a throne of Bibles, I don't care.
00:17:00.800
I'm saying if this evidence does exist, will it matter?
00:17:05.920
Yeah, it would matter, but before you get into the theoretical, not the real, all right,
00:17:17.340
you have to prime the audience to understand what's happening, that this is every hour on
00:17:28.520
Now we'll get into the theoretical, because that's desperately what you and Stu want to
00:17:34.500
We want you to tell us exactly what needs to be done, Bill.
00:17:39.680
What needs to be done is a healthy dose of skepticism about BuzzFeed, the New York Times,
00:17:48.440
and all of these agencies that are in business to smear Trump at anybody who—
00:17:58.280
I think 100% skepticism is fine here, because we know what's coming out.
00:18:01.720
He basically has said very clearly that he had no business dealings directly with Russia,
00:18:09.420
and he didn't collude with Russia in any way to influence the election.
00:18:25.680
So, of course, if he told his attorney, hey, hey, you commit perjury and don't tell him
00:18:36.300
about X, whatever X may be, and the Russian thing that we did, all right, that we had caviar
00:18:51.640
I mean, I don't think Donald Trump is—he's not a stupid guy.
00:18:55.820
There's no way they have a paper trail of something like that.
00:18:59.380
He's not a stupid guy, and he's got a lot of attorneys that are advising him in this.
00:19:05.240
So when I see these reports, I just basically don't even cover them on BillOReilly.com.
00:19:18.820
But to answer your question, it's a legitimate question, if Trump did anything like that,
00:19:28.320
You'd have to see what the memo said or any of that.
00:19:37.720
Let me just say this, because this is the only time I'm going to address this on the
00:19:44.540
I think that Americans need to decide whether if a president, any president, says, hey, listen,
00:19:53.500
this is the deal, and you're going to go in front of Congress, and I don't want you
00:20:10.640
I don't care if Jesus—well, he wouldn't do that.
00:20:16.020
However, I don't think that anyone should be talking about—we shouldn't be even talking
00:20:20.880
about it now, because how many things have they said that they had on him, and they'd
00:20:27.140
So when they show it to us, then we can talk about it.
00:20:31.340
How is the president—I saw his Hispanic numbers, which Marist is a great polling agency, and
00:20:43.560
He's taken a 19-point jump with Hispanics in approval in the last 30 to 40 days.
00:20:57.740
I don't think Marist is a good polling agency any longer.
00:21:02.000
I saw their poll on abortion, which I thought was much more important.
00:21:05.900
And they did a poll on abortion, because this weekend is a right-to-life exposition in Washington,
00:21:14.260
which will get zero coverage in the American media, nothing.
00:21:18.260
And the poll said that I think it was 56 percent of Americans want restrictions on abortion,
00:21:28.360
I think that the polling now is stacked in the sense that they have—well, we talk to
00:21:35.860
1,050 registered voters, but they never stack it evenly.
00:21:41.860
It's always skewed to either—well, it's always skewed left, always.
00:21:53.140
So you don't buy this good poll for Donald Trump on Hispanics?
00:21:56.520
I don't believe 51 percent of American Hispanics think Donald Trump's doing a good job.
00:22:04.780
And I've got to be an—I'm an honest broker here, see?
00:22:08.160
I'm not in business to promote any political candidate.
00:22:11.820
I just don't believe—and if you look at the poll, that number is up, like, what, 22, 23 percent in a month?
00:22:20.280
And the sample size is 1,024, and so that would make the Hispanic sample about—probably under 200.
00:22:31.780
Yeah, and that means the margin of error is much higher.
00:22:34.420
Yeah, and I think they went to a Santana concert, didn't they?
00:22:40.300
But, Bill, you mentioned the abortion poll from Marist, which the results of that are pretty interesting.
00:22:46.020
And it's actually the number—when it comes to restricting abortion to only the first trimester, or more restrictive, it's 75 percent of people.
00:22:55.020
Only 15 percent of people agree with the Democratic Party position of abortion throughout pregnancy,
00:23:01.840
including only one quarter of pro-choice people, people who identify themselves as pro-choice.
00:23:08.720
Only a quarter of them agree with the Democratic position.
00:23:12.960
I'm not sure I believe that poll either, but I do believe that most Americans understand there has to be limit on the destruction of a potential human being.
00:23:26.740
I just think that's so inherently obvious and fair, and I maintain the belief that most Americans are fair-minded people.
00:23:39.140
I mean, I think we're overwhelmed by the unfair media, that we're always talking about BuzzFeed and the New York Times and CNN, and we're overwhelmed by it.
00:23:51.220
But once you get out and talk to the folks themselves with no media filter, you find they are very fair and level-headed.
00:24:00.460
So I like that poll in the sense that I think that message has to be debated and has to be put out there.
00:24:18.540
Yeah, we talked, we spent a lot of time on that poll because I thought it was telling, and I agree with you 100%.
00:24:23.500
I think, you know, when it shows that pro-life, if you will, is overwhelming with the exception of this one thing of rape and incest and life of the mother.
00:24:37.720
And even that ends after, you know, the first 90 days, you know, after you get to that first trimester, people start to say, you know what, you had a chance.
00:24:51.580
So it's almost as if the American people are saying, look, I don't agree with this, but I don't want to judge or hurt people that are in massively painful situations.
00:25:03.620
I don't know what I would do or say to my daughter, you know, if she said, dad, I was horribly, viciously raped.
00:25:13.580
And every second that this child is inside of me, it's a rape scene again.
00:25:19.540
I know I would say, honey, you will get great blessings for carrying it to term, but I'm not going to disown my daughter or anything else.
00:25:34.880
The law is there in all cases to protect the innocent.
00:25:45.640
And when a woman is raped, all right, she is the innocent victim of a horrible, horrendous crime and should not, by law, be forced to endure more suffering.
00:26:03.780
And that's the conclusion that Americans come to.
00:26:13.320
If there is a child, there is another innocent victim.
00:26:20.360
I'm at this place where I say, look, I believe that's life.
00:26:24.260
And I don't believe we have a right to take life.
00:26:35.160
I'm in this hypocritical place to where I say it's life, but I don't want to condemn somebody.
00:26:44.460
But if somebody breaks into your house with a weapon, you're going to take their life.
00:26:52.680
There's a difference there between guilty life and innocent life, right?
00:26:59.420
That's true, but it's the individual decision of the person in a, in a position to take the
00:27:10.300
Now, I think back at the thing, you know, you, you sit your daughter down or your friend
00:27:14.240
down and you say, look, if you could bear the term, you will be a saint.
00:27:20.660
I mean, you will be, you know, in that category, but we're certainly not going to condemn you
00:27:28.120
Um, Bill, let me, let me go to the border, uh, to the government shutdown first.
00:27:34.880
Um, I, I, I, I'm telling you if Coca-Cola stopped bottling and distributing because of
00:27:43.240
some disagreement and they were no longer putting out Coke products for as long as this
00:27:49.480
government has already been shut down, Americans would be up in arms and say, I don't care.
00:27:57.780
Um, I don't hear that from the American people and yet the polls, uh, show that they are not
00:28:09.500
First of all, the American people, all right, of course are not with the shutdown.
00:28:14.860
Who's going to want fellow Americans not getting a paycheck.
00:28:26.740
Again, if you, if you analyze deeper, you have to make a decision on corruption.
00:28:33.260
Now that that's what's in play at the government shutdown corruption.
00:28:38.120
Again, this will never be presented to the people in the media, but the Democrats came
00:28:44.100
in and basically said, and I know this to be true.
00:28:46.780
We're not going to cooperate on anything that president Trump wants.
00:28:53.360
We are going to create so much chaos in the house of representatives that when the vote
00:28:58.800
comes around for reelection to presidency, people will be so tired of it.
00:29:05.020
They'll say, all right, I may not dislike Trump, but I want somebody else.
00:29:13.700
So when you see what the wall is, the barrier is, and we did this on BillOReilly.com.
00:29:20.740
We had a reporter from KUSI in San Diego who covered the wall for 20 years and says,
00:29:25.640
no doubt the wall works in the San Diego sector.
00:29:30.160
And then the guy provides evidence for it and backs up what the border patrol says.
00:29:34.840
And then you turn on cable TV and then the wall doesn't work.
00:29:38.240
Where people who have never even been to the wall are saying that.
00:29:41.720
So it's corruption that we're dealing with here in the government shutdown.
00:29:52.720
Trump would give him the pathway to citizenship for DACA.
00:29:58.720
But the Democrats won't do anything because their tactic is not to cooperate and get anything done.
00:30:08.320
Bill O'Reilly is joining us on the program to go over the news of the week.
00:30:19.600
I don't do political speeches, even though this is an overtly political as far as a party is concerned.
00:30:26.000
I try not to do that because, as you know, I'm the Yoda of basically telling you what I think is right.
00:30:40.420
And I don't want to be tied into any kind of group.
00:30:45.260
I mean, if you're saying that you're much, much older than you look.
00:30:53.880
I'm sorry, I didn't know it was Yoda when I was eating him.
00:30:56.440
Yeah, you'll have that building surrounded in about 40 seconds.
00:31:04.520
And put this down on the calendar for, I don't know, August of next year.
00:31:09.980
I want to at least attend the March for Life next year.
00:31:18.360
The other thing that is happening in Washington is the Women's March, which is absolutely imploding on all of the things that we have said about it from the start.
00:31:33.740
This was hijacked by really bad, anti-Semitic, racist people.
00:31:39.480
Yeah, and I mean, when I saw this first pop up in the Trump inauguration, I said to myself, wait a minute, this was a contrived situation.
00:31:57.560
Again, big money behind it, like the migrant march.
00:32:02.040
And, okay, so these folks who are marching, they're not even going to give the guy a week?
00:32:12.660
They don't even respect the election enough and the people who did vote for Donald Trump enough to just say, well, yeah, let's just see how he does.
00:32:23.060
I mean, I was right in the sense that I thought he would run to the left on his policies.
00:32:31.600
I said he is now our president, and we owe it to our president to support him in the things that we can support and give him time to show who he's going to be.
00:32:44.780
It all goes back to the same thing, whether it's Me Too or any other, no due process, nothing.
00:32:59.760
She's from Hawaii, and I think she's probably a decent person that I don't agree with politically.
00:33:08.980
But she seems like she's probably a likable, normal human being.
00:33:12.120
She's been calling for the end of the Women's March or for the chairs to excuse themselves because it's turned into a Frankenstein.
00:33:23.620
You know, before the first March, she saw deep hatred, racism, and anti-Semitism.
00:33:38.180
Because one of the first things that happened in the Women's March is that any pro-life woman was banned from marching.
00:33:51.880
And so once I saw that fascistic word of the day, that fascistic proclamation saying, even if you agree with us, women's march people, that we don't like the Republicans, if you are pro-life, you can't march with us.
00:34:16.020
So if you look at it, it's not an organization that I believe commands respect, and I think it's done now.
00:34:27.220
When Kirsten Gillibrand won't show up, you know you have a problem.
00:34:35.800
I mean, you look at all the magazines and everybody who said these were the leaders of the year and the best leaders in the world, and this movement was going to change the world, and they never stopped to look at the bad seeds that were being planted and who was planting them inside the organization.
00:34:56.840
I don't think Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is going to be there either.
00:35:03.040
No, I think that she, and I just, I have to tell you.
00:35:16.780
I haven't seen any evidence that she is that, but she's not going to be there.
00:35:25.600
I really think that I want more of her rather than less.
00:35:41.900
I think these women, they should go out and they should say whatever they want to say.
00:35:47.940
And Americans should evaluate it on whether it's good for the country or not.
00:36:01.240
And they inject some energy into the discourse.
00:36:04.020
So, let's talk about, however, for instance, the representative from Minnesota who is saying really anti-Semitic things.
00:36:25.280
And then there was another one who was talking, had tweets about how Israel was evil.
00:36:31.420
But this one I'm talking about from Minnesota is the one who said that Israel, how come, you know, the mask is coming off and how come more people can't see how evil Israel is, blah, blah, blah.
00:36:44.340
She's the first hijab-wearing member of Congress.
00:37:01.420
She elected her, so she's going to say bad things about Israel.
00:37:06.820
I know people who have given a lot of money to Democrats, and many of them are Jewish.
00:37:14.740
And they started saying, during the Clinton campaign with Keith Ellison around, they started saying then, you know what?
00:37:23.100
This party has gone so extreme, and they are now becoming anti-Semitic.
00:37:30.480
At what point do you think they lose their Jewish support?
00:37:38.300
Every poll says the same thing, that liberal Jewish Americans prioritize their ideology above the welfare of Israel.
00:37:51.760
There's a difference between Israel and, you know, Jews or animals.
00:37:58.580
I mean, look, once you get into that kind of...
00:38:03.400
The women's march, they're having a conversation, and one of them says, it's you people, you Jews.
00:38:08.600
You have all the money and all the power in the world.
00:38:13.800
I don't want to generalize about Jewish Americans, but I have looked at those polls, and unless it's so blatant, and the women's march is,
00:38:26.140
the Hollywood moguls that give a lot of money who are Jewish people, they say, look, my ideology is more important than the security of Israel,
00:38:40.980
because Donald Trump's been Israel's best friend, and they despise Donald Trump.
00:38:45.980
And Barack Obama was, you know, according to most Israelis, not a good thing or a good leader for Israel.
00:39:01.600
At what point do the American Democrats, just the voters, the regular voters, go, you know what?
00:39:09.040
I mean, the people who are at the top of the party now are just getting so extreme.
00:39:19.900
When's the tipping point for moderate Democrats, particularly out of the urban centers?
00:39:25.160
There is no tipping point in New York City, in San Francisco, in Seattle.
00:39:30.180
All you got to do is walk around those cities and look and see what's happened under far-left governorship.
00:39:39.280
And apparently, they don't even care about that.
00:39:42.380
If there are people on your front lawn injecting heroin, well, you know, it's society's fault.
00:39:50.440
So I don't think there is a tipping point in some precincts.
00:39:54.100
But in others, you got to feel that it's getting close when you're saying, hey, I want 70% of your money.
00:40:04.640
And when you die, I want to take every single thing you have.
00:40:08.320
Is that okay with the Democratic Party, with the rank and file?
00:40:21.400
How does the president fare in the next week on the border and shutdown?
00:40:29.560
I don't know, but I'm angry because I was going to go with Nancy Pelosi on her trip.
00:40:48.100
I can't sit next to Adam Schiff for eight hours.
00:41:02.900
We're not going to pay the air traffic controllers or the TSA, but we'll have all that stuff.
00:41:08.640
So when Donald Trump, who's just the meanest, isn't he?
00:41:14.180
When he canceled the trip, I, you know, I was a little packed.
00:41:17.860
I had Uber ready to take me to the airport, and now I can't go.
00:41:23.540
So it's just an outrage, this whole government shutdown and the meanness on Pennsylvania Avenue.
00:41:31.780
And, you know, I told Nancy, look, maybe we just fly commercial to Cancun.
00:41:44.460
I pay large sums of money for you sitting in a beach chair next to Nancy Pelosi where she could not get up.
00:41:52.760
Next week on this, ask me about my one and only face-to-face with Nancy Pelosi next week.
00:42:02.460
But anyway, the government shutdown is a farce.
00:42:08.880
Will it still be going on when I talk to you next week?
00:42:13.020
I hope so, because I really want to tell this story about the post-paping in a while.
00:42:26.200
I want to talk to an angel mom here, and I have struggled with the last interview we did
00:42:45.440
because I can't imagine anything worse than losing a child.
00:42:53.300
I have, uh, uh, I've had two of my daughters, my oldest and my youngest, uh, in the hospital
00:43:03.320
One was in the emergency room, and, uh, the other one has been in the hospital and probably
00:43:08.640
going to be there for about 10 days about brain surgery.
00:43:16.620
And I don't know how I would live if somebody violently took my child.
00:43:24.900
But these stories have to be told because this is really, truly what the shutdown is
00:43:33.620
I just want whatever is most effective so we know who's here and we have some law and
00:43:47.340
She is a legal immigrant, and she is from Germany.
00:43:59.340
And, you know, we're going to talk about things.
00:44:01.860
And please feel free to say, I just, I can't go there anymore.
00:44:05.760
But, Sabine, when did you come to the United States and why?
00:44:11.720
I was married to a U.S. Army soldier we met in Germany.
00:44:20.640
That's why he earned the name German Chocolate.
00:44:24.020
And his dad was black, so that was appropriate for him to call himself.
00:44:28.800
And then we got orders to come to America in 19, the date, sometimes the years.
00:44:43.060
And I had to fill out a lot of paperwork, even though I was married to a service member,
00:44:47.900
signed paperwork that I would never receive any government assistance.
00:44:51.720
I had to have money, sponsors, medical examination, the whole nine yards,
00:44:58.220
just to come over with my American husband and my child.
00:45:23.680
He was never married, has no kids, and he was my only child.
00:45:31.660
At 5.45 in the morning, my son was on his way to work on his motorcycle.
00:45:36.960
He was working for the Riverside Sheriff's Department as a 911 dispatcher.
00:45:42.980
And this illegal criminal with two felonies, one deportation, two DUIs,
00:45:48.180
the last one five weeks before he killed my son,
00:45:50.920
he received probation again, turned his unregistered and uninsured little truck in front of my son
00:46:03.520
July 12, 2012, that he killed him instantly and then threw him into a wall on the sidewalk.
00:46:16.020
So you as an immigrant, you obviously don't hate immigrants.
00:46:28.620
And this guy, who not only is here illegally, he had already been deported, correct?
00:46:49.180
And the state of California is doing nothing about it because it's, well, it's a sanctuary in California.
00:46:57.200
Well, at that time it wasn't a sanctuary state, but I found out Riverside acted like a sanctuary city
00:47:03.480
because the judge and the DA knew the offender.
00:47:07.380
And they caught him two times with the armed robbery and grand theft.
00:47:11.760
They had him in front of them with their first DUI.
00:47:16.520
And then he was caught drunk driving again without a license.
00:47:42.260
And each time he's brought in for DUI, they just give him.
00:47:55.060
What did they, he was charged with vehicular manslaughter.
00:48:04.660
Vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence.
00:48:08.640
And the judge made a deal with him and told me in court, I wish I would have known more about this case because I would have given him a harsher sentence.
00:48:18.600
But because I gave him my word, I have to stick with that and honor my word.
00:48:24.620
So he's going to get nine months, five-year probation, and the guy served 35 days.
00:48:35.160
If that isn't a slap in the face and ripping my heart out again.
00:48:43.100
He was, while, by the way, while we had the hearing, because the DA talked me into not having a trial, I'm in the biggest shock of my life.
00:48:54.280
Hearing, he got to bail out for $10,000 cash and was free to go.
00:49:01.380
We never thought he would come back, but he was so arrogant because he's been getting away with every crime he committed.
00:49:06.900
He came back, and so the only time I saw him in handcuffs was the day of the hearing when he was found guilty of the misdemeanor.
00:49:16.480
They led him away, and because by then I found my voice, I got louder.
00:49:22.700
They took him to a detention center, but they wouldn't tell me where.
00:49:27.680
An ICE agent called me anonymously and told me they had enough of this.
00:49:32.140
They knew Dominic, they heard of him, and they told me he was in Atalanto in a detention center about an hour and a half from my house.
00:49:41.660
And for a year and a half, my fiancé Anthony and I went there every week just sitting there letting them know, do not let this guy go.
00:49:52.020
And now here comes the kicker, Glenn, an ICE agent that we befriended, and he had enough of this, told us that once in a while they get a note from the top, he only said from the top, that says open the back door.
00:50:10.200
But because we sat there every week, they knew they better not.
00:50:14.280
And he was deported a year and a half later, and we have good sources because Dominic was friends with the police department, fire department, SWAT, that he's, yeah, he's back.
00:50:27.660
I know I'm going to see his face again, Glenn, in the news with another victim.
00:50:37.900
He told the church through a translator, which later he spoke fluent English.
00:50:56.100
Talk to people who are, that are maybe, you know, not for this shutdown and not for the border discussion that we're having right now.
00:51:10.260
What would you say to those people who are saying, we don't need all of this?
00:51:14.920
I would tell them, yes, we do, because when we are at home, we lock our doors.
00:51:19.900
We want to make sure our kids are safe and grow up and protect, that America and our government protect its citizens.
00:51:29.300
And if we don't do this now, there will be many more that will have to go to a morgue like I did and kiss their child for one last time.
00:51:40.800
And as a parent, your mind won't let you go there, the pain, the agony, because it's forever.
00:51:49.480
And if they don't think it's good for Americans, okay, let's go to the other side.
00:51:54.500
These families, the kids that are used, the sex trafficking, all this will come to a stop because it protects both sides.
00:52:02.880
Because people are lied to, they're dragging their kids or somebody else's kids just to get in here.
00:52:08.420
Well, if we have a wall and functioning border security that we deserve and we need.
00:52:14.860
And that was talked about by the Democrats for so long until they switched a bit.
00:52:26.620
Sabina Durden, you can find her website at domhugs.org, domhugs.org.
00:52:44.860
I kind of just realized that the position I'm in, I can talk to newsmakers, I can talk to people, I can talk to legends, and they'll talk to me.
00:52:52.120
And I can record their journey, and I can hear it firsthand.
00:53:01.180
Now, if you don't know who Pat Boone is, and I thought I knew who Pat Boone was until I started doing my homework.
00:53:09.340
Pat Boone sold more, had more hits and sold more songs and albums than Elvis in the 1950s.
00:53:26.840
And in 1950, he had one more gold record than Elvis did.
00:53:35.100
At the same time, he went on to do so many other things.
00:53:41.800
At 23, he had his own show on ABC, a television show.
00:53:51.780
He has done, I mean, I talked to him and said, wait, do you remember when you first met Elvis?
00:54:03.600
The story on Jerry Lee Lewis and the talent and what happened with Jerry Lee Lewis is amazing.
00:54:18.460
I'm going to skip that because I don't think we have time.
00:54:22.800
And if you're a history lover, this is a guy who is unbelievable, has been at the front lines since 1950, you know, really until today.
00:54:42.960
He's done every genre and charted top 10 in every genre.
00:54:51.420
But I did a podcast with him and I wanted to play this because his wife just passed away just last weekend.
00:55:04.440
I just love that he talks about his wife quite a bit.
00:55:08.080
And I he mentioned his wife at one point and his eyes welled up.
00:55:15.460
Don't you listen, Pat Boone, talking about his wife just before she died.
00:55:21.420
I thought my Shirley and I, when we married at 19, I decided this is what I was going to do.
00:55:31.380
But she thought she was marrying school teacher preacher because that's and there was a little, little headline in the Nashville Tennessean because we were both known in Nashville for singing.
00:55:46.580
She was the daughter of Red Foley, the great country singer, Hall of Fame.
00:55:58.200
Well, everybody loves Mama Shirley, we call her.
00:56:02.320
But, you know, we were childhood sweethearts and high school sweethearts.
00:56:06.580
And we committed the headline in the Nashville paper, a little squib.
00:56:20.320
And I thought she was so happy because, you know, she had had enough of show business and country music.
00:56:27.380
Her dad read Foley Traveling all the time and a lot of drinking and stuff going on.
00:56:32.280
And now she's going to be married to a school teacher.
00:56:37.600
And two or three kids and a picket fence and regular schedule and so on.
00:56:50.020
Before we went into stage 19 to record that, he was in the makeup room.
00:57:16.440
And he said, we've always loved just kissing each other.
00:57:21.820
And he's one of these guys who had a marriage that started in the 1950s and ended at death do us part.
00:57:31.120
Except I don't believe that and neither does he.
00:57:37.600
There's something to be said about having a great marriage that you work on.
00:57:55.220
Pat Boone talking about the people that he has known.
00:58:04.680
And he even talked about feeling, having an issue with going on a show and, or is it a movie?
00:58:15.440
And, I mean, you know, again, we're talking back in the day.
00:58:17.640
The kisses that went on back in the day in movies were not like kisses like we think of them today in movies.
00:58:27.900
I just wanted to ask my wife first because we hadn't talked about it.
00:58:30.880
Is it okay in this movie if I kiss somebody because it wasn't in the script?
00:58:34.820
And it got blown out of proportion that he was a religious freak.
00:58:42.660
I know this might sound, if you don't know who Pat Boone is or you're like, oh, well, he's an old fuddy-duddy.
00:58:47.500
It may not sound like an interesting podcast, but still.
00:58:56.300
He remembers details about every one of these things.
00:59:16.700
You can grab it wherever you grab your podcasts.
