Summary

The Blaze Radio Network, on demand, Glenn Beck.
00:00:12.880
That is the headline that should be everywhere in America today.
00:00:24.860
It's not the one you're reading, though, is it?
00:00:26.860
I would ask you to check out MSNBC to see how they're reporting this story.
00:00:31.820
They don't really find it newsworthy as just a few minutes before we went on the air.
00:00:38.360
Their headline reads, children found in New Mexico compound training for school shootings, prosecutors say.
00:00:46.260
That's their headline, which leads to all kinds of fake news on Twitter.
00:00:52.500
All of the people saying, thanks, Dana Lash and the NRA.
00:00:57.740
All of the people who are now betting that this is an NRA member.
00:01:04.060
Because they're not including all of the details in the story.
00:01:18.400
Police raided a remote New Mexico property last Friday.
00:01:26.660
See if there's an overriding theme here that might change a headline or two.
00:01:31.620
A Georgia woman had reported that her sixth son was kidnapped by her, now separated husband.
00:01:38.780
He had driven all the way from Georgia to New Mexico to perform an Islamic ritual on his son.
00:01:49.620
Now, the arrest warrant claims the father wanted to perform an exorcism on his child, but the mother said it was a translation error.
00:01:57.980
So now, how can you screw up a word like exorcism?
00:02:04.260
See, if you use the word exorcism, oh, well, now it's a compound training kids to shoot kids out in the middle of nowhere, and they're performing exorcisms.
00:02:23.720
Does it sound like a Muslim or a Christian camp?
00:02:36.380
Ah, right in the pocket of the Jehovah's Witnesses.
00:02:39.140
His family, let's just say, has a little bit of a checkered background.
00:02:43.520
His father is a New York City area imam that heads a mosque there.
00:02:49.020
No, it doesn't, except he was also named as an unignited co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
00:02:55.200
He was also a character witness for the defense of the blind friggin' sheet in 1995.
00:03:05.680
When police raided the New Mexico property, they found 11 children, ages 1 to 15.
00:03:12.900
They were dirty, barely dressed, and had no food or water.
00:03:17.120
People who do this for a living said this is the worst squalor they have ever seen children found in.
00:03:25.020
The house was made into a makeshift protected compound with tires and wooden pallets creating a fortified wall.
00:03:32.460
Wahaj was armed with an AR-15 and four handguns.
00:03:44.080
Three women, all wearing Islamic headscarves, and two men.
00:03:53.460
It sounds like it's directly from the National Rifle Association.
00:04:04.560
Well, the Taos County Sheriff said the kidnappers were considered heavily armed and, quote,
00:04:23.880
No, CNN headline is children found in New Mexico compound training for school shootings.
00:04:30.800
Again, extremists of the Muslim belief, end quote.
00:04:34.920
They also said the children were being trained to perform school shootings.
00:04:42.380
That messed up translation on the word exorcism.
00:04:47.080
And this does make you an extremist, I just want to point out.
00:05:01.620
But jihadists use the same word as exorcism, or R-U-Q-U-A, when they pray over a sick person.
00:05:13.800
When a Muslim believes that a child or someone else is sick due to Western medicine, they have to perform this ritual to get all of the Western out of them.
00:05:28.000
You know, the Crusaders and their evil modern-day medicines have to be taken out through religious ritual.
00:05:37.980
They don't sound like Muslim extremists at all to me.
00:05:40.980
No, I haven't even sniffed a tie so far, other than the police saying it directly.
00:05:50.480
How does anyone know these facts and write the headline,
00:05:56.380
Children found in New Mexico compound training for school shootings, prosecutors say?
00:06:03.800
Well, prosecutors also said they were extremists of the Muslim belief.
00:06:12.060
Well, they don't want you to focus on this story because there's something else that came out overnight.
00:06:39.020
He was a, quote, mentor, motivator, and encourager of mine.
00:07:14.560
Let me explain to anybody who doesn't listen to the show all the time,
00:07:20.880
or if you happen to be listening, you know, at Media Matters or wherever.
00:07:32.100
Yesterday, they're still going on about collusion.
00:07:36.140
They have opinions, they have speculation, and most of the news is opinions about speculation.
00:07:48.640
But when they do have facts, and it doesn't fit their narrative, they don't cover it.
00:07:57.000
When you look at just, forget about Linda Sarsour for a minute, when you just look that we have found a Muslim extremist terror training camp,
00:08:09.200
and they were training children to go in and kill children, is there a more important story than that today?
00:08:17.580
Is there a more important story than that today?
00:08:22.860
I have said for a very long time, and if we have time today, we're going to cover this.
00:08:27.760
Beslan is the thing that would destroy this country, would tear us apart.
00:08:33.040
And that is what happened in Beslan, Russia, Chechnyan extremists, Muslim extremists, went in on the first day of school and slaughtered these children.
00:08:49.260
It happened right at the same time the Chechnyan extremists took over the, I think it was a theater, a ballet or something like that in Moscow,
00:08:57.360
and they ended up having to gas all of those people.
00:09:01.720
This was horrifying, absolutely horrifying what happened.
00:09:07.840
And it has been a shock to me, and thank you, FBI.
00:09:12.380
It has been a shock to me that they haven't done this yet.
00:09:16.560
Well, you're training 15 kids to go into schools and shoot people?
00:09:27.360
And who do you think you'd be blamed on, Islam or the NRA?
00:09:34.580
How many people would defend the actions of these terrorists and blame it on the NRA, even if they knew it was a Muslim extremist camp?
00:09:51.640
So it's not just their agenda on the NRA that is making them leave out all of the Islamic extremists.
00:10:03.480
It is also their, I don't know, coddling of Islamic extremists, the out-and-out denial that these things are happening in our country.
00:10:29.360
One of the founders and heads of the Women's March.
00:10:32.740
You mean the Women's March that is going against Trump?
00:10:36.800
The same Women's March that went and she brought all of these big leaders of all of these radical groups and the Democratic Party in to see Louis Farrakhan.
00:10:54.360
You mean Linda Sarsour, the one who advises and counsels with the heads of the Democratic Party.
00:11:04.420
Linda Sarsour came out at the last ISNA conference.
00:11:14.380
And to my favorite person in this room, that's mutual, is Imam Suraj Wahaj, who has been a mentor, a motivator, an encourager of mine.
00:11:23.520
Someone who has taught me to speak truth to power and not worry about the consequences.
00:11:27.560
Someone who has taught me that we are on this earth to please Allah and only Allah, that we are not here to please any man or woman on this earth.
00:11:37.000
And you might think this is weird, but every once in a while when I get into that deep, dark place, Imam Suraj comes and talks to me.
00:11:45.280
And then he helps me to emerge out of those spaces.
00:11:50.060
And may Allah bless you and protect you and keep you for a long time for our community because we need you now more than ever.
00:11:59.840
Unfortunately, Allah did not protect him because his ass is rotten in jail today because he, her mentor,
00:12:15.700
So you ask yourself, why isn't the media covering this?
00:12:22.400
Well, because this will hurt the Democratic Party.
00:12:32.800
The narrative of the left that all of Islam is peaceful.
00:12:42.920
The Islamist states, they are cruel, brutal, and as bad as any Nazi ever was.
00:12:54.980
But it's against women, not just Jews, women, homosexuals.
00:13:02.760
Fellow Americans who vote differently than me, but you still have compassion and a heart.
00:13:25.640
I guess maybe we could play it and I could read the translation to you.
00:13:29.320
But it's an Arabic guy on the streets in the Middle East asking, what would you do if your sister went out and got a job?
00:13:59.200
Please don't talk to me about how oppressive the hierarchy here in America is.
00:14:08.560
How can you possibly, possibly lay any ties down with people who believe that?
00:14:22.040
Linda Sarsour, a person the DNC is in bed with deeply.
00:14:29.360
Linda Sarsour, somebody that the media all just airs like she is some princess from heaven.
00:14:42.580
It's not a one-off that those people were sitting with Louis Farrakhan.
00:14:52.540
And America, this is the kind of fake news that is being squashed.
00:15:06.220
Because we have her in her own words, praising, saying he comes to her in her darkest times to counsel.
00:15:18.040
But the press can't even bring themselves to tell you that he's Muslim, let alone the ties to Linda Sarsour and the Democratic leadership.
00:15:38.540
Has there been a bigger story since the Russian hacking of our...
00:15:56.420
It's because it's like debating whether Episode IX of Star Wars is good or bad.
00:16:03.480
And it's like, well, we can all kind of have our opinion about what we think it will be, but it hasn't been released yet.
00:16:09.880
So when it's released, we can all look at it and say, okay, here it is.
00:16:17.600
Coming up next hour, we're going to be doing an hour on the Star Wars deniers.
00:16:22.400
Those who believe you can't judge Star Wars yet because all the evidence isn't in.
00:16:28.960
We all know the science on Star Wars Episode IX is settled.
00:16:38.600
Last night, he had two hours of question and answers online.
00:16:43.900
They're going to rebroadcast it, I think, today or tomorrow.
00:16:49.800
But there's something else that he does that's really, really good.
00:16:58.460
97% of the people who go to the Smart Crypto Course give his currency course, his cryptocurrency
00:17:08.520
People, even people who thought they knew a lot about cryptocurrency, love it.
00:17:14.900
People who didn't know anything, don't know what Bitcoin really is.
00:17:25.820
It's a really simple course, very informative, and waiting for you to take it.
00:17:34.400
You can call for more information, 877-PBL-BACK, 877-PBL-BACK and get more information.
00:17:41.840
Blockchain is something you need to understand.
00:17:46.820
You can check it out and go to SmartCryptoCourse.com.
00:18:05.660
Court documents say man arrested at New Mexico compound was training children to commit school
00:18:24.180
Because of its incompleteness, you get retweets like this.
00:18:30.140
So he was an NRA member and a Donald Trump supporter.
00:18:46.860
And when these stories break, I just need to find all the people who say I'm willing to
00:19:06.740
For instance, on the Russia thing, we're arguing about fake news.
00:19:10.820
Well, I can tell you what some of the facts are.
00:19:22.820
In the old days, a journalist, a head of a newsroom, they would have come in and said,
00:19:46.280
It is, but I think it would be more like going from like a Bugatti and then saying,
00:20:00.380
When you have a fact, report it and nothing else.
00:20:12.240
By the way, we are going to be taking your phone calls today on television at 5 o'clock.
00:20:20.480
Make sure that you join us live at 5 and we'll be taking your phone calls at the usual number,
00:20:27.400
We're going to try to take your phone calls a little bit today on the radio as well if we can make the time.
00:20:33.160
But we have a full half hour just to talk to you on the phones today, 5 o'clock,
00:20:40.380
We're talking a little bit about what happened with the arrest of a group of people,
00:20:47.640
men and women, Muslim extremists, who were training children to shoot other children in school.
00:20:56.340
Yeah, just that we should clarify this because I think some people are confused because it's the same name.
00:21:00.040
The dad and the son have basically, I think, the exact same name.
00:21:06.740
So this is an understandable point of confusion here because we didn't know anything about junior that was bad until yesterday.
00:21:27.180
I can't even believe this guy is in America, let alone the guy that Linda would say,
00:21:33.760
hey, by the way, he's a great guy and he's my mentor.
00:21:36.680
So a lot of people are thinking, oh, well, no, it's not that you can understand the confusion when you say,
00:21:44.320
hey, she was praising the son who we didn't know anything bad about until yesterday.
00:21:49.340
She's praising the blind sheep character witness and the unindicted co-conspirator, the 93 World Trade Center.
00:21:55.440
The father of the guy who who raised a son who thinks that it's right to follow Allah to train kids to kill other kids.
00:22:10.300
Honestly, I think the way it came out is worse.
00:22:12.800
The fact that you're praising someone who has been known to be bad for two decades.
00:22:20.700
Like there could have been there are a lot of people who were friends with the BTK killer at church.
00:22:25.720
They may have praised them in speeches like crazy, but not knowing he was the BTK killer.
00:22:31.160
She knows was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 93 World Trade Center bombing.
00:22:38.320
Look, the crimes of the son did not go to the father and the crimes.
00:22:42.960
However, in this case, I think you could have a pretty strong case.
00:22:48.340
The guy who's saying, oh, the blind sheik, he is a prince of a guy.
00:23:01.800
I mean, that's not like following the same exact ideology, the same ideology again.
00:23:06.540
And what's interesting about here is not, there's a huge, massive point here to be made about Islamic extremism and the dangers we face.
00:23:16.040
The point with Linda Sarsour, however, is Linda Sarsour has been embraced by the mainstream left.
00:23:22.420
Has, is, the women's march was something that was universally praised by the left and the media.
00:23:31.800
And she is the one saying, the mentor, my mentor is a person who is an unindicted co-conspirator in an attack on the World Trade Center.
00:23:45.920
We now have her connected to the father of the son who was training kids here in America to shoot children in school.
00:23:55.640
Okay, we, clear connection, and I'm sorry, but I don't, I don't buy that.
00:24:09.400
Here, let me, let me teach you a little something about Linda Sarsour.
00:24:17.040
When I wasn't wearing a hijab, I was just some ordinary white girl from New York City.
00:24:22.020
But wearing a hijab made you know that I was a Muslim.
00:24:28.160
Does that mean I'm white, but if I put the hijab on, I'm suddenly a person of color and, and oppressed.
00:24:37.120
She is the Obama White House designated, designated champion of change.
00:24:43.780
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio sought out her endorsement.
00:24:47.500
Bernie Sanders used her as a surrogate in his presidential campaign.
00:24:52.620
Most recently, she is the lead organizer of the Women's March.
00:24:57.020
Also, the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against President Trump's immigration order.
00:25:07.700
She's a Palestinian-American community activist who served as the executive director of the Arab American Association of New York since 2005.
00:25:17.800
She's a board member of the Democratic, the Muslim Democratic Club of New York and a member of the Justice League.
00:25:33.980
Now, she claims to be a champion of Muslims, but in 2003, this is what she said about Saddam Hussein after he was captured.
00:25:45.440
I think he's done a lot of things that he shouldn't have done.
00:25:53.680
Palestinians are under so much oppression, and no other Arab country has ever helped them.
00:25:57.540
Okay, Linda, how many Muslims did Saddam Hussein kill?
00:26:10.860
You don't excuse his murderous regime because he might be with you on a couple of other things.
00:26:25.920
However, she has boasted that she has family members and friends in the terror group Hamas.
00:26:32.380
In a 2004 article it appeared on the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism website, Sarsour acknowledged that a friend of hers, as well as her cousin, were both, Sarsour's cousin, were both serving long sentences, 99 years and 25 years, in Israeli jails because of their efforts to recruit jihadists to murder Israelis.
00:26:55.200
Moreover, she revealed that her brother-in-law was serving 12 years in Israeli prison because of his affiliation with Hamas.
00:27:08.480
She's added women's rights, of course, to her convenient activism.
00:27:13.020
She's one of the main co-founders of the Women's March.
00:27:20.280
Have you ever heard of the name Ayaan Hirsi Ali?
00:27:26.200
Uh, relatively, I mean, certainly well known, I think, to conservatives.
00:27:31.160
And people, she's, I would say, part of the ideological, intellectual dark web.
00:27:37.040
She is very outspoken and honest about what she's gone through.
00:27:43.060
She's the only person, I've interviewed presidents.
00:27:45.700
She's the only person I've ever interviewed that had a Secret Service agent stand at the camera lens right next to the main camera.
00:27:58.800
Her security is so tight because Muslims want to kill her because she was sold by her parents to somebody, I think, in Canada.
00:28:11.340
So she was, she was coming from the Middle East.
00:28:14.500
They had to make a stop somewhere in the Netherlands.
00:28:20.000
She immediately took off her hijab and she changed her name and disappeared.
00:28:25.220
She lived in the Netherlands for a while and taught herself.
00:28:35.560
She was, she was subjected to female genital mutilation.
00:28:43.020
She tells a horrifying story of what it's like to be a woman in radicalized Islam.
00:29:05.100
She also defends Saudi Arabia's treatment of women in November 2014.
00:29:10.160
In a tweet, she derided critics of Sharia law in Saudi Arabia for worrying about women driving.
00:29:18.740
The fact that religious custom in a country bars women from driving automobiles, it's much more significant that Saudi women receive 10 weeks of paid maternity leave, which puts us to shame.
00:29:34.860
You can't leave your house without an escort of a man.
00:29:44.180
Most recently, she has been accused of enabling sexual assault and body shaming while she was the executive director of the American Arab American Association, quoting one of the victims.
00:29:58.960
She oversaw an environment unsafe and abusive to women.
00:30:12.220
Witnesses have corroborated the story that a female staffer working for Sarsour was sexually assaulted by a man multiple times.
00:30:18.720
And Sarsour dismissed the allegations because the accused was, quote, a good Muslim and was always at the mosque, end quote.
00:30:36.960
She also said that there was no way any man would want to do such a thing to this victim because she was, quote, too fat, end quote.
00:30:46.680
The accuser claimed that Sarsour threatened legal and unprofessional damage or professional damage if any of this information ever came out.
00:30:56.500
Just wait until more people start to talk, she said.
00:31:09.660
Sarsour has also added Black Lives Matter to her list of causes because she's a friend of the African American.
00:31:15.560
Except in 2016 in Chicago, she said, and I quote, the sacrifice, the black Muslim slaves went through in this country is nothing compared to the Islamophobia today.
00:31:35.800
But she's a friend of the African American as well.
00:31:46.000
Who went into the mainland of Africa and rounded people up?
00:31:53.400
They were actually, for the most part, Muslims.
00:31:57.120
They were Muslims who felt they had a right through Islam to round up those infidels that were not Muslim or not Muslim enough and sold them to the white slave traders.
00:32:12.900
A little fact of history that has been left out, and so the sacrifice of black Muslim slaves is kind of hard to believe, seeing that Muslims wouldn't sell a fellow Muslim in if they were Muslim enough.
00:32:36.560
And if you think that this woman is any less dangerous than Alex Jones, this woman is not being ridiculed in public all the time.
00:32:51.680
This woman is not like Alex Jones that has no hands on any levers of power.
00:33:09.040
And she thinks she has a right to, you know, and this is not hate speech in any way, shape or form.
00:33:16.260
You know, she just thinks that some women that she deems should have their vaginas taken away from them because they don't deserve to be women.
00:33:28.140
By the way, if you just joined us, why are we talking about her?
00:33:31.380
Well, she's good pals with Dad, who was a co-conspirator, unindicted co-conspirator, and also a character witness for the Blind Sheik in 95.
00:33:46.240
And he also raised the guy that was training children to kill children here in America, a compound that has just been raided by the FBI.
00:34:05.200
I mean, if you are the DNC, where do you go, Stu?
00:34:08.280
I mean, you know, you're looking for somebody that is, you know, not connected to the Blind Sheik.
00:34:23.620
Well, the phone book's almost empty after you take those things out.
00:34:29.260
So you'd think that you'd be able to find somebody pretty easily.
00:34:33.020
But no, may I recommend to the DNC and also to you that if you're looking for the right candidate, it's a pretty low bar.
00:34:46.380
We're going to be talking later on in the program about the Chinese spy that worked for Dianne Feinstein.
00:34:59.040
You know, maybe sort through the Chinese spies before you make your hires.
00:35:10.340
ZipRecruiter will not only send it out, but then they send it to 100 job boards to post.
00:35:15.320
But then they know that there are people that aren't going to see that.
00:35:20.320
They scour all of the resumes to see who's out there that really fit.
00:35:27.500
That's why in the first day, most people get a qualified candidate within 24 hours.
00:35:40.780
You know, we have got to reunite all of these children with their parents.
00:35:48.380
How dare you say we should have a DNA test or I want some sort of identification?
00:35:53.780
They're just families coming across the border.
00:36:04.880
this April through a port of entry in Texas, where he claimed that the girl he was accompanying that he was with was his daughter.
00:36:19.760
Unfortunately, when they went into the hospital for a TB screening, the staff found out that Pedro was being was was sexually assaulting this little girl.
00:36:33.100
Oh, in fact, no, that was not his daughter at all.
00:36:46.640
We would never accept these kinds of rules for our children.
00:37:00.800
Get ready, because socialism is coming, or at least a version of socialism.
00:37:08.280
You know, the kind of socialism that you can enjoy while sipping your venti soy latte at Starbucks and posting anti-Trump memes on Reddit.
00:37:19.600
She won the Democratic primary in Michigan's 13th district, and she's going to run unimposed in the November general election.
00:37:27.000
Here she is speaking with CNN about her motivation for running for Congress.
00:37:30.960
You were actually at an event, a Trump speech, this was two years ago in Detroit, and you, along with several others, were forcibly removed from that speech for heckling.
00:37:40.700
I mean, you tell me, Rashida, how much of your decision to run was shaped by this president?
00:37:45.680
Look, I say this a lot to people, but it's true.
00:37:49.700
I think President Trump being there in office, getting elected, was kind of a bat signal for women across the country.
00:37:57.740
We have to march on, and we can't stand outside of the ring anymore.
00:38:01.600
We have to actually run for office, and we have to demand to have a seat at the table, because it's obvious that everything else is falling apart.
00:38:09.200
And to have someone like him in office that talks like him, I mean, our children have to watch that, you know, hear that language and watch that kind of behavior.
00:38:18.100
And so, absolutely, I think a lot of that drive does come from, you know, President Trump being in office.
00:38:29.400
Here's a woman who is running as a Democrat because things are falling apart, and it's Donald Trump's fault.
00:38:35.100
And she's speaking to us from the great city of Detroit.
00:38:39.120
So, first thing you should do is check out the video.
00:38:42.120
It is not the kind of unhinged behavior you want from an elected official, at least not one for me.
00:38:47.220
She was one of 14 protesters ejected from a luncheon for heckling.
00:38:52.700
You have to see it, because she didn't go without a fight.
00:38:55.580
Security literally had to drag her out backwards as she was screaming and wagging her finger.
00:38:59.800
Now, in an interview with Detroit Free Press after the incident, she said, we need to be heard.
00:39:16.580
So he does love people who aren't Donald Trump.
00:39:23.360
Yeah, he doesn't love no one who isn't Donald Trump.
00:39:30.260
If the entire argument, you know, her entire argument, our entire argument is that that he's a monster that doesn't love Detroit.
00:39:44.560
The media has celebrated this so-called rise of women against Trump.
00:39:49.580
They've rejoiced that she will be the first Muslim member of Congress.
00:39:53.680
They love the fact that she's the daughter of Palestinian immigrants.
00:40:02.560
All of these things are just, I mean, this is a feast for them.
00:40:06.940
The very thought that they can check so many of the virtue points floods them with elation.
00:40:15.100
One of her prime objectives is to impeach President Trump.
00:40:19.640
Quote, she doesn't cite any of the grounds for impeachment because she believes, and I quote, Donald Trump has committed a number of crimes that will come to light when we start the impeachment hearings.
00:40:40.760
We could spend a week on pointing out the hypocrisy in this statement, but perhaps it's better just to keep it short.
00:40:48.680
It's time for all of us to get our houses in order or else tantrums like these are going to keep happening and happening.
00:40:55.980
And we are going to send more and more really angry people to Washington.
00:40:59.940
And that's not a good thing because angry people, they make less and less sense the more angry they become.
00:41:19.120
I'm going to take phone calls tonight at five o'clock on the TV show.
00:41:26.340
Voice your opinion and tell me where I've got it right.
00:41:37.600
I would suggest that you call a few minutes earlier and get lined up for the show.
00:41:57.820
I want to give you an opportunity to clear it up.
00:42:01.060
So you're not outraged, but you could be outraged.
00:42:22.800
Okay, so you just played a clip from the AP, or not a clip, but you read the title from
00:42:28.300
an AP presser, where they completely omitted facts, whether they did that intentionally or
00:42:39.380
I am willing to speculate that they did that intentionally, and I don't have it sitting
00:42:45.540
in front of me, but it was an AP story about the arrest of this guy that had a compound,
00:42:54.200
and he was training children to kill children in school shootings.
00:43:00.400
They never mentioned that this was Islamic extremist compound.
00:43:08.640
Now, on a side note, I don't want to get sidetracked, but your top of the hour brief that you
00:43:15.620
just had, the girl that gave the headline, also admitted all those facts, except one quick
00:43:20.840
statement had ties to Islamic terror camp in the past.
00:43:26.820
I think there was one small little thing in there, but never mentioned his background,
00:43:31.620
and just so you know that, but that's not my...
00:43:36.080
But again, so they admitted it, omitted it, except when they said it?
00:43:40.240
They only said one little spot about the compound having ties in the past, but they didn't talk
00:43:45.560
about the seriousness of it today like you are.
00:43:48.860
You brought a whole new light to it today that nobody knew about until they listened to your
00:43:56.660
I'm just letting you know your top of the hour presser missed that part.
00:44:01.740
Donald Trump sits out there on an island by himself, and this is what I'm really paid
00:44:05.360
about, and he's telling us how the fake news media is the number one enemy of the American
00:44:11.720
And if we cannot get on board and agree with that statement right now more than ever to
00:44:16.500
know that the fake news omitting facts consistently, omitting facts and making up stories is the
00:44:23.760
reason why these compounds like this can't exist, that is the number one threat to America.
00:44:29.520
When you have a 15-year-old child with an AR-15 lining up and going to a school to mow down
00:44:40.620
And they are weaponizing the First Amendment to use in a war against the American people.
00:44:59.520
Here's, I think, what you're looking for from me.
00:45:05.400
I think you're trying to say, why won't I say that the media is an enemy of the people?
00:45:14.200
And I don't believe the media is the enemy of the people, but I believe the fake news
00:45:37.780
Because by saying that, that means different things to different people.
00:45:41.500
If I say, you know, fake news, the enemy of the people, there's a lot of people that
00:45:50.660
And you'd say that on the right, and they'll say, that's why we need to shut CNN down.
00:46:01.140
And that's where I have a bone, is I don't know where you stand in support when Donald
00:46:08.640
I do not support the statement that the press is the enemy of the people.
00:46:15.280
I understand what he's saying when he says fake news is the enemy of American people.
00:46:22.700
But I would state it as apathy, arrogance, and self-imposed ignorance is the enemy of
00:46:32.340
There has never been a time in history, ever, where you have the ability to find the truth,
00:46:43.200
There used to be a time when I've done radio now for 40 years, and there used to be a time
00:46:48.960
I'd have to call the research department at the library, and I would say, can you look
00:46:56.540
Depending on the question, it could take days to get the answer.
00:47:00.560
Unless you worked at a giant newspaper or giant network or television station that had tons
00:47:07.060
of researchers, you couldn't find this information.
00:47:12.920
It's not just that people will take the AP story, which I showed you, had nothing to
00:47:20.300
do with Islam, had nothing to do with the extremists.
00:47:50.760
But people spreading it with the comment above it saying, here's another NRA member.
00:48:02.380
I think, too, we have to look at this and his comments through that construct of the
00:48:09.180
Selena Zito construct of seriously and not literally.
00:48:12.800
Like, if I take Trump's point literally that the press is the biggest, the fake news media
00:48:19.000
is the biggest foe or enemy of the American people, that's, to me, a patently ridiculous
00:48:25.300
To the point of, when you talk about the thing that we're mad at them not covering, Islamic
00:48:30.980
extremism, is a much bigger threat to the American society than anything the media could
00:48:37.480
However, I understand when you take it seriously, what he's saying is the media is really bad
00:48:43.300
And they do, some of them do really bad things and they report on things falsely.
00:48:47.400
Not all of his examples are accurate, but some of them are.
00:48:50.320
You know, like, if you take it seriously, I, not literally, but seriously, the university
00:49:06.520
See, I mean, I wouldn't agree with that either.
00:49:18.540
But I mean, you know, China and Russia are bigger threats to the American people than
00:49:34.240
Like, I can totally agree that there are massive problems with the media.
00:49:37.600
You know, we have a story coming up from Vox, which, you know, Ezra Klein, who is making
00:49:43.500
a point that I can't believe he's trying to make.
00:49:46.920
However, Vox is also the source of going down the cost of the Democratic Socialist programs
00:49:54.320
and pegging it at two hundred and eighteen trillion dollars.
00:49:59.980
Sometimes they say things I think are completely false.
00:50:09.760
Did you see the part where I'm talking about that thing on how do you decide what's fake
00:50:17.420
It's an endless for the average person and almost almost too steep to climb.
00:50:24.220
But when you're looking at sources, does that source?
00:50:32.020
If it doesn't occasionally piss you off, they are only placating you.
00:50:37.700
They are only they're only serving what they know you want to consume.
00:50:44.760
In our lifetime, who is known as one of the best journalists ever?
00:50:51.780
I think they even have an award named after him in our lifetime.
00:51:00.840
He would go after one side and then he would go after the other side just as hard every
00:51:09.040
If somebody is not pissing you off, they're not doing their job.
00:51:14.460
We're doing, what, 20 hours a week of this stuff between TV and radio and not to mention
00:51:21.320
If you don't come to a show like this and listen for a long period of time and not get
00:51:27.500
challenged in what you believe, what's the point of coming here?
00:51:32.520
We can do a half hour saying everything that we think you agree with and just repeat it
00:51:41.760
I think there are people out there that just want that.
00:51:43.700
This audience, over a decade, we've seen this constantly.
00:51:51.100
They want to be so solid in their principles that when someone comes up to them and makes
00:51:58.100
a point they had never heard before, they want to be able to have a foundation in that
00:52:04.760
They want to know why they believe what they believe.
00:52:07.720
They don't want to just spout some tweet they heard some guy say.
00:52:15.680
There are sins of commission and sins of omission.
00:52:55.320
And if you want to try to make friends and influence people, you have to be careful today
00:53:08.020
I'm saying, let's say what we mean and mean what we say.
00:53:18.740
We are now struggling to find how to find the truth.
00:53:38.820
Any real journalist would say, okay, well, when you have something, let me know.
00:53:45.140
So they're giving opinion on speculation on what they could have.
00:54:43.380
Where you could kind of just like break off the individual pieces of chocolate and caramel.
00:54:55.160
It's a Kit Kat that will give you a lot more than just one taste of chocolate.
00:55:00.540
It's 19 individual bars that make up two ounces of silver.
00:55:07.260
We actually asked them to the Canadian Mint to make these.
00:55:13.080
It's, you know, it's all, it's made for barter, but it is legitimate, you know, printed by
00:55:22.040
And you just kind of snap it apart and then you have coins, if you will.
00:55:28.500
If things really hit the fan, you have something that you can easily break up for barter or
00:55:37.720
But if things really hit the fan, if we see kind of, you know, any kind of real inflation,
00:55:43.260
this is going to be worthwhile at 10, 120 ounce bars, five, 110 ounce bars, four, one quarter
00:55:49.880
ounce bars, all pure silver guaranteed for its weight and purity by the Royal Canadian
00:55:54.900
It is really made for investment and also for barter should things really go crazy.
00:56:03.800
It's the Maple Flex Bar available now at Goldline.
00:56:07.560
Now, get the information 1-866-GOLDLINE, 1-866-GOLDLINE or goldline.com.
00:56:16.120
So my new book, Addicted to Outrage, comes out in September.
00:56:21.940
And I want you to I want you to pick it up because it is it will it will show you a few
00:56:28.580
things that I think we're missing on being able to argue to win.
00:56:32.920
And it makes a strong case for not only for you, but your friends that may not be as in
00:56:40.760
touch on what's happening to us, why it's happening and why we have to stop our addiction
00:56:48.720
to outrage and then gives you some tips on on how to do that.
00:56:54.760
Next, bought some Powerball tickets the other day, turned them in four dollars.
00:57:03.780
Problem is I did spend 20 on the tickets to win the four.
00:57:07.220
And I'm not sure financially how that works out in the end, but I'm pretty sure it's a
00:57:11.440
I'm not maybe the best investment guy in the universe, but I do know how to pick a good
00:57:16.700
That's because I know people who know how to do it.
00:57:25.500
This is a website you can go to that will go through all the agents in your area, find the
00:57:30.500
best ones, see who's had the most success, see who has the best consistent reviews and
00:57:36.140
character, see who knows the business better than anybody.
00:57:41.840
You don't have to worry about sifting through a bunch of really terrible agents.
00:57:47.680
If you need to sell your house fast and for the most money, or if you're looking to buy,
00:58:09.860
But one of the parts you were talking about, and I think this ties into what you were discussing
00:58:13.680
last half hour, is the science behind the way you talk to people about something you
00:58:20.200
might disagree with, disagree upon, including the way that, you know, if you are, let's
00:58:27.000
say to, you know, talk about something that you made a mistake on, it opens them up to
00:58:40.700
And you cannot be an absolutist because absolutists make no impact, no impact.
00:58:48.320
But if you start a conversation with somebody and you're at a disagreeing, you're, you're,
00:58:53.020
you know, arguing about something, find something that you were wrong about and say, look, I just
00:59:14.500
Researchers found that I can't remember the exact number, but it is a high percentage.
00:59:19.160
You go from zero impact to being able to influence somebody's mind between 60 and 90 percent to
00:59:28.800
where they're all of a sudden they drop the shield and they go, oh, OK, all right.
00:59:33.460
So it's important that we change our language and we change our approach.
00:59:38.800
Otherwise, we're just going to be screaming over top of each other.
00:59:42.340
That's why when when Trump says it's the enemy of the people, I want to give you a story, hopefully
00:59:53.460
He is making an argument that, you know, kill white people doesn't actually mean kill white
01:00:03.860
Kill the hierarchy and doesn't actually mean kill.
01:00:06.680
It means that the hierarchy is oppressive and should be changed.
01:00:09.880
OK, well, that's not what you said when you said kill white people.
01:00:13.020
When you say enemy of the press, that means something to you.
01:00:16.880
And it may mean something entirely different to the left.
01:00:22.100
And by by not being careful with your words, you immediately put shields up and nobody's
01:00:30.380
That's why it's really important to be careful, because there are really important issues.
01:00:44.080
Ben, he's a podcast host, Big Ideas with Ben Weingarten.
01:00:52.540
He's, I think, from the first graduating class of the Blaze and also with a Federalist.
01:01:04.860
So I wanted to talk to you about this article that you wrote about Dianne Feinstein, because
01:01:15.680
She is in trouble now because apparently there was a spy in her office for about 20 years,
01:01:24.620
Can you first give me any details that we have for sure on that?
01:01:28.480
Yeah, and of course, the media accounts differ from what she tweeted out and a couple basically
01:01:35.980
trying to obfuscate and deflect from the story.
01:01:39.400
But this employee, the person who matches all the descriptions that we've seen in the media,
01:01:45.140
worked for her for 20 years, was listed most recently as an office director out in her California
01:01:52.560
office, he was her driver, listed as her gopher for a bunch of assignments, and also her liaison
01:01:59.580
to the Asian community, where, of course, naturally, he would have coordinated and communicated
01:02:09.640
And what we've been told by her and the media is that about five years ago, she found out that this
01:02:16.520
employee through the FBI was being investigated as a potential recruit of essentially China's KGB
01:02:28.260
And she says that she was mortified and immediately he was let go or fired.
01:02:35.760
She said, she said, I learned the facts and made sure the employee left my office immediately.
01:02:43.720
And, of course, based upon our knowledge and given that this person, it appears, is operating
01:02:49.440
freely right now, working for a, quote unquote, social justice foundation out in California,
01:02:55.260
which appears to be actually doing a campaign that Chinese propagandists love to propagate,
01:03:05.620
It seems like he was never prosecuted, never paid any sort of price.
01:03:10.640
He was just let go and continues to operate freely.
01:03:14.180
Okay, so can I, I mean, I know this is not the crux of the story here, but can you give
01:03:22.120
What, who cares about, I mean, what is the social justice cause on that one?
01:03:28.420
Well, the cover for the story, and there's a great piece in a publication called Asia Times,
01:03:34.520
which talks about how the Chinese, of course, are engaged in all sorts of propaganda campaigns,
01:03:42.440
information warfare, which we care about so much when it comes to the Russians, but have
01:03:46.580
ignored when it comes to the Chinese, who are probably a far greater threat to us.
01:03:52.740
Essentially, they've engaged in a campaign to focus on Japan's human rights violations
01:03:57.700
during World War II, so-called comfort women, essentially taking female prisoners and pimping
01:04:06.980
The Japanese were, the Japanese, in some cases, were worse than the Germans.
01:04:16.280
So, the Chinese like to propagate this story and basically try to cause a backlash against
01:04:22.220
the Japanese, force them to recognize this and repent, et cetera, as a means of deflecting
01:04:31.280
So, they have a propaganda effort to hurt the Japanese and make themselves look better.
01:04:35.280
Okay, but he works with the Justice Foundation, the apparent spy who was let go, that deals
01:04:47.560
Why did the FBI say they had a spy, and then she dismissed him, and then they just let him
01:04:53.680
Well, they claim that what he was passing along to the Chinese Ministry of State Security was
01:05:02.160
So, not anything that would have ever threatened national security, and that he never accessed
01:05:10.120
But that really doesn't pass muster when you consider he's in her office for 20 years.
01:05:16.020
And let's put Dianne Feinstein's seniority into perspective here.
01:05:20.520
This was someone who was the chairwoman of the Senate Select Intelligence Committee.
01:05:24.920
So, a committee in the Senate that's dealing with the most sensitive, highly classified,
01:05:31.840
So, imagine someone with the access, even if he was just a driver, which I really don't
01:05:36.320
believe, based upon what we've discovered, even if he was just a driver, while she's
01:05:41.120
having calls about very sensitive issues, or potentially there are listening devices
01:05:46.140
within the automobiles in which she was driven around in her office.
01:05:49.460
I mean, you're talking about someone of a very high rank, who had a relationship with
01:05:55.080
the Chinese for 40 years, in addition to this one person in her office.
01:05:59.160
And you're telling me that potentially there couldn't have been great exposure to sensitive
01:06:05.260
And then the crux of this story is that she has this person in her office, the media is
01:06:10.320
minimizing the story, but the entire missed part of it is that she's had connections to
01:06:15.740
the highest levels of the Chinese Communist Party for 40 years.
01:06:19.600
Ever since we opened up diplomatic relations with China, Dianne Feinstein has had direct
01:06:26.040
And while she's taken a very pro-Chinese line in terms of expanding trade, dovishness when
01:06:32.040
it comes to the military, and then apologizing for China's human rights violations, and it's
01:06:37.460
all right there in this article laid out, while all that was happening, her husband's investment
01:06:42.540
portfolio was swelling with China-related investments that clearly, directly, and at the very
01:06:49.240
least, indirectly benefited from the policies she was supporting.
01:06:53.620
So that's a massive story that's being completely missed and dismissed by this idea that there
01:06:59.200
was one guy, low-ranking, in her office, who was let go immediately, and there was no national
01:07:08.140
You know, we were just talking about fake news, and you know, that the press is the enemy of
01:07:13.660
the people, which, you know, ignorance and apathy is the real enemy to the republic.
01:07:28.100
They underplay stories and overplay others for their own agenda.
01:07:38.520
What do you suggest is done with, I mean, we have two stories today, yours, the one that
01:07:45.680
We also have the story where they were, you know, hey, look, this guy was just out in the,
01:07:49.760
you know, the boonies, and he just made a compound.
01:07:52.340
He brought some kids, and he was a religious zealot.
01:07:56.820
This was an Islamic terror camp here in the United States.
01:08:10.080
Yeah, well, in this case, I think you have to look to the silent majority.
01:08:14.160
And if there is a big enough backlash in the public, even if, quote unquote, mainstream
01:08:19.680
sources, and by the way, I mean, I consider mainstream sources basically the communications
01:08:25.880
So you have to assume that they're going to minimize and ignore any story that doesn't
01:08:32.840
And in this case, I think in their minds, they hate this narrative because it's contrasting
01:08:38.040
Dianne Feinstein and China versus Donald Trump and Russia.
01:08:41.760
And here you have an actual spy and actual policies that were pro-China, an actual conflict of
01:08:48.660
And they don't want to make that contrast with Trump.
01:08:51.080
But I actually think that the political part of this is far secondary to the national security
01:08:56.980
implications and also the idea that a power like China would try to go after our government
01:09:04.080
and cultivate a relationship for 40 years with Dianne Feinstein.
01:09:07.240
And I have to imagine all sorts of other politicians because they're very strategic with this stuff.
01:09:15.880
China conducted that Office of Personnel Management hack where they stole the information on well
01:09:21.400
over 20 million government employees and applicants to be in government.
01:09:25.480
Information that is the most compromising information possible.
01:09:29.840
The profile the government takes to make sure no foreign power, if they find out about this
01:09:33.800
stuff, can compromise you and go after you and your family.
01:09:38.260
China also destroyed our informant network on their mainland, killed our CIA operations there.
01:09:47.960
And I think there needs to be an outrage and a call for holding the other side up to account,
01:09:53.260
which is if we really care about foreign meddling, well, China is a far more dangerous threat than
01:09:59.860
But let's explore foreign meddling from all powers, whether it's China, Russia, Pakistan,
01:10:08.020
And let's hold all of our politicians to account.
01:10:10.300
And I do think if there is a big enough outrage, politicians don't like outrage.
01:10:14.500
So the only way this becomes a story is if there is public pressure.
01:10:18.200
And that requires us communicating around, unfortunately, a media that is totally in the tank and doesn't
01:10:25.860
And I think ultimately what you'll see if this story continues to build and as people to continue
01:10:31.280
to dig on this is that Feinstein will be called to account.
01:10:34.900
But I think you're going to see other people in government close rank around her.
01:10:38.600
And that makes it an even bigger scandal, potentially.
01:10:43.120
It doesn't stop with her and it doesn't stop with the Democratic Party.
01:10:46.360
I mean, both parties are very dirty from foreign money.
01:10:51.160
And, you know, you didn't you didn't do just one person for 40 years and leave it at that
01:11:04.100
You can find this story right now at The Federalist.
01:11:08.660
You can also find it at Ben Weingarten dot com.
01:11:13.200
And we'll tweet it as well from Matt Glenn back in that world of stew in case you want
01:11:17.320
It's a in-depth read and it's there's a lot of information to take a lot of information,
01:11:33.540
And that's why they have just been they've just become a billion dollar company, which
01:11:40.320
Like we knew them when there was like five, five people there.
01:11:47.900
I think we have made five or six companies billion dollar companies.
01:11:52.780
We started with they started with us and over a period of a few years, they've become billion
01:12:00.860
I mean, you know, just just saying to maybe kick us back some is what we're saying.
01:12:06.260
You know, like all I'm saying a couple of yachts.
01:12:22.300
It's comprehensive protection around the clock with professional monitoring and police
01:12:27.880
You get protection against intruders and fires and leaks and burst pipes.
01:12:32.140
I think the fire alarm just says you're in California.
01:12:38.640
They keep working during the power outages, downed Wi-Fi.
01:12:41.860
Even if somebody tries to smash your keypad and there's no contract, you own the system.
01:12:49.480
You're going to save a buttload of money just on that.

01:13:20.820
This is when my boyfriend and I got our first cat, Pete, a long legged tuxedo cat.
01:13:32.660
Depending on the type of person you are, you either breeze through that sentence, finding
01:13:36.360
nothing remarkable or you immediately judge me for buying pet food, pet quotation marks
01:13:44.540
food made up of ground chicken bones, beef tallow, soybean hulls and other delightful byproducts.
01:13:53.940
I know because we were at the time living in Berkeley, California.
01:13:59.220
Pete came to us from a relative in Kentucky and has to make just make things easier.
01:14:04.940
We fed him the same friskies that he had been happily devouring.
01:14:12.180
This story is about to get great when when Pete's parents go into a Berkeley pet food store and the guy says,
01:14:31.360
Oh, they are treated horribly and made to feel that they're horrible human beings.
01:14:36.240
And they believe they are and the links they now go to to show they're not monsters.
01:14:54.420
This what's happening with the left and the Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh is.
01:15:02.900
I mean, how many Connecticut primary voters realize that Kavanaugh, the guy who's supposedly licking his chops to get there and take your abortion rights away, he's moving into your uterus.
01:15:16.960
How many people in Connecticut know that he hasn't been confirmed yet, that the confirmation hearings haven't even started?
01:15:23.020
And even if he was on the court today, the odds that Roe versus Wade is going to be overturned are still pretty low.
01:15:33.040
And even if it was overturned, the odds of a woman still being able to have an abortion in this country would still be very good.
01:15:45.340
Well, despite all of the fairly obvious logic surrounding Kavanaugh's nomination in the question of abortion, the Democratic Party has seized on this idea that abortion is in jeopardy and we got to save abortion.
01:16:19.280
Let me just say, people in Connecticut, how do you do it?
01:16:38.420
Our assembly, our government only meets every two years.
01:16:47.700
However, I will say, growing up in Connecticut, I do remember when they said they had no state income tax.
01:16:55.220
And they said, we're going to implement it for an emergency purpose and it's going to go away really soon.
01:17:03.180
But when he got in, he realized how bad it was.
01:17:05.140
And they had to implement it for just a short time.
01:17:15.560
They haven't raised it higher than it was initially.
01:17:22.740
Anyway, so to get the threat of abortion, it is so urgent that he is vowing in his campaign to protect it by amending Connecticut's constitution.
01:17:33.080
Now, amending even just a state constitution isn't a small feat.
01:17:37.180
In Connecticut, it requires approval from both chambers of the state legislature.
01:17:41.620
If it passes, it requires voter approval through a referendum and then the governor.
01:17:49.840
You want to amend your constitution to guarantee your right to kill an unborn child just in case, just in case a judge whom you've already determined is the enemy gets confirmed to the Supreme Court.
01:18:06.460
That's what if I were looking to vote for a governor, that's the one I would vote for.
01:18:10.960
You know, the hell with the taxes and the state falling apart and, you know, actually having to sell assets on the open market to be able to meet, you know, your bills.
01:18:24.720
Gattam says whether it takes two years or three years, certainly it is worth the effort.
01:18:29.160
Could take two sessions of the General Assembly.
01:18:31.220
He says if he wins the governor's race in November, he could, he could, not that he will, he could introduce this amendment as early as January.
01:18:40.900
Why the, why the rush to cement the right to exterminate more babies?
01:18:46.460
What, why is it everyone is so, this is the most important thing ever.
01:18:52.840
Narcissism, greed comes to mind, but mainly because Kavanaugh and the president who nominated him.
01:19:16.800
Okay, if you, if you look at the headlines in the mainstream media, you are going to see a story about some guy.
01:19:32.620
He was out in the middle of nowhere in a compound doing exorcisms.
01:19:44.500
He's got to be a crazy Christian with those exorcisms.
01:19:49.340
When you actually hear the names and then look the names up, you realize this is an Islamic extremist camp where they have 15 kids and they're training them to shoot other children in schools.
01:20:06.660
There's also a neat little tie to Linda Sarsour.
01:20:09.780
But the media can't be bothered with all of that.
01:20:18.200
He's a contributing editor of the National Review.
01:20:24.560
I think, you know, I think probably we could say guns don't kill people.
01:20:30.420
Yes, I would think that that would be a good headline.
01:20:38.460
Well, the guy who is at the center of this incident down in New Mexico, Glenn, is named Siraj Wahaj.
01:20:48.460
And that name is a blast from the past because he is a guy who came up in our investigation of the blind shake that led to the trial of those characters after the World Trade Center was bombed.
01:21:03.700
So if anybody doesn't know who you are, explain your connection to that, Andrew.
01:21:09.120
I was the lead prosecutor in the blind shake case back in the mid-90s.
01:21:13.580
And we convicted about 12 jihadists for actually the main charge was seditious conspiracy to make war against the United States.
01:21:24.540
And it included the World Trade Center bombing and a plot to bomb the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, the FBI's Manhattan headquarters and the like.
01:21:33.660
So, OK, so now that I'm ahead of the curve, the father, the father, the guy who, you know, because he was a character witness for the defense of the blind shake.
01:21:46.420
So he got on the stand and he was all this guy's great.
01:21:50.400
You know, you know, it's very interesting, Glenn.
01:21:55.660
And his testimony was one of the most interesting parts of the whole trial.
01:22:00.740
We I was a good, a much better weaselly lawyer back then than I am now.
01:22:07.460
So we had put out a letter at the beginning of the trial.
01:22:12.080
And most of these big conspiracy cases, the government's required to tell the defense who the unindicted co-conspirators are,
01:22:18.200
other people who come up in the evidence who aren't listed in the indictment.
01:22:21.300
And he was one of the names we gave, but we didn't identify him specifically as a co-conspirator.
01:22:27.840
We said that we reserved the right to call him that.
01:22:31.480
So he was somebody who hovered around the investigation, but he was not implicated in the main plots that we had.
01:22:41.380
But the interesting thing about him is he is a committed.
01:22:46.100
Sharia supremacist, he was actually the first Muslim imam to give the opening.
01:22:51.300
Invocation in a in a session of Congress, he was a fairly prominent guy and he was very open about his beliefs,
01:23:02.900
which were, you know, he's a he's a dyed in the wool Islamic extremist.
01:23:07.540
And he was asked by I think some of these defense lawyers thought that he was going to be really helpful to them.
01:23:14.180
And one of them, who was a blind shakes lawyer, said, you never heard anything about, you know,
01:23:19.560
the blind shake coming to the to the mosque and saying that we should rob banks for the jihad.
01:23:25.260
And Sarai said, well, you know, as a matter of fact.
01:23:30.660
So is he just he's he's not a guy who thinks it's wrong.
01:23:36.100
He's just unapologetic about it because it correct.
01:23:40.060
Right. And and if you had such a person and he had a son who, by the way, was about, I want to say, 15 or 16 at the time.
01:23:47.540
And then you learned, you know, flash forward to 2018, that this is how the son turned out.
01:23:55.340
Right. So, yeah, I think there's two things, Glenn, if I made about this that are that are kind of disturbing.
01:24:02.440
One is I looked at the reporting from CBS and the AP this morning, and it seems to me like we're still doing the Obama administration countering violent extremism,
01:24:15.820
where we're not supposed to factor in the ideological component of this and we wait until something horrific happens.
01:24:21.920
So they say here that the FBI did an investigation here that went on for a couple of months,
01:24:28.760
and they decided that they didn't have enough probable cause to get a search warrant for the compound.
01:24:38.280
I don't mean to laugh about it, but I feel like I've been hitting my head against the same brick wall for 25 years.
01:24:44.580
If you've got a bunch of people who are operating under an ideological system where they consider themselves to be at war with the Western society,
01:24:58.340
and they're living in a parallel society, as it were, in New Mexico, and you don't think that that contributes to the probable cause,
01:25:07.820
given all the evidence we have of what the link is between the ideology and the violent action?
01:25:15.820
So, Andrew, tell me what they did find when they went in there.
01:25:25.940
Evidently, they have found human remains, which haven't been identified but are suspected of being the younger Wahaj's son.
01:25:35.620
We should stress that, at least as far as I know, that hasn't been confirmed.
01:25:39.720
And they have found evidence, as you pointed out at the beginning, that essentially they were schooling these kids who were there,
01:25:49.540
who, by the way, were being held in these really awful, dilapidated conditions.
01:25:54.320
But they were being schooled in Sharia supremacism, including the notion that they are at war with the West,
01:26:02.140
and they were being trained to commit violent actions in schools, which is, you know, I mean,
01:26:08.240
if you're going to take this ideology seriously, that's what it teaches.
01:26:16.060
Yeah, I'm not, I don't know exactly whether they're all local or, you know, whether people move from great distances to come there.
01:26:27.920
But I think the disturbing thing is that you do have some of these sort of parallel societies within a society that pop up in the areas of the South and the Southwest.
01:26:44.220
So they haven't gotten a lot of attention, but it happens.
01:26:48.340
Now, this weekend, the white supremacists, which is supposed to be a big zilch and very low turnout,
01:26:56.360
having a big white supremacist march, and the media is going to make that into the, you know,
01:27:00.980
they're the most dangerous people in the country.
01:27:07.400
These are people who are actually training kids to kill.
01:27:17.760
Yeah, well, I know that there's a Siraj Wahaj, the elder connection to Sarsour.
01:27:22.960
And in my experience, Glenn, a lot of these people end up running in the same circles.
01:27:29.520
I mean, I used to have to look at this a little bit more carefully.
01:27:33.820
So you'd see these conventions that they would have every few weeks or so,
01:27:39.000
and it's always the same names that come up again and again.
01:27:42.200
And most of them have some kind of tie to an organization that is either, you know,
01:27:49.740
quasi-formally the Muslim Brotherhood or influenced by the Muslim Brotherhood or what have you.
01:27:54.620
But it's a network that's been operating here really since the 1980s.
01:27:59.280
So she gave a speech at the last ISNA conference, and she praised senior as her mentor,
01:28:07.060
a guy who meets with her on regular occasion, somebody that when she gets down, encourages her,
01:28:16.740
Well, you know, it says that when we talk about Islamic extremism,
01:28:24.420
nobody wants to talk about what it is they're being extreme about.
01:28:29.040
You know, we just sort of cavalierly use that expression.
01:28:32.820
And I am here to tell you that if you subscribe to this belief system,
01:28:41.200
whether they are trying to move the Sharia supremacist agenda
01:28:47.180
along the lines of, you know, legal action, media action, and that sort of stuff,
01:28:58.420
who are doing, you know, the kind of teaching and direct action
01:29:03.120
that Siraj the Younger appears to have been involved in,
01:29:06.780
this is all under the umbrella of the same threat to the West.
01:29:11.200
And I know, you know, people want to throw stuff at you when you say that,
01:29:14.620
but it's a fact that Linda Sarsour and Al-Qaeda
01:29:20.420
have a lot more in common than, say, Linda Sarsour and you and me.
01:29:26.800
And, you know, that's the world we're living in,
01:29:36.200
and an outspoken advocate for actually looking the problem in the eye,
01:29:42.740
and I appreciate your service and your time today.
01:29:48.080
Andrew McCarthy, he's a contributing editor of the National Review
01:29:51.800
and lead prosecutor on the Blind Shake case back in the 1990s.
01:30:03.360
Do you think anybody will do a serious story in the mainstream media
01:30:05.820
on Linda Sarsour and the Blind Shake and the father and the...
01:30:11.740
I mean, I did see CBS did talk a little bit about the ties
01:30:24.880
I mean, again, you take the little bits and pieces
01:30:33.560
I don't know if you've seen the headlines recently,
01:30:38.740
You imagine if they would have taken these 15 kids,
01:30:43.300
They would have had a coordinated attack on one day.
01:30:46.740
Can you imagine what that would have done to our country?
01:30:59.740
But if you look at the attack that happened in Russia,
01:31:06.940
If you had serious terrorist attacks on schools here in America,
01:31:14.880
But, I mean, we could take a more recent example
01:31:16.880
of the shooting at the softball field one year ago,
01:31:20.880
which, I mean, thankfully was not as successful
01:31:34.620
We have all kinds of things that could happen overnight.
01:31:37.140
And, you know, you don't want to worry about them.
01:31:51.780
I'm going to be able to take care of my family's
01:32:35.640
Right now, Vice President Pence is giving a speech
01:33:04.120
This is the open of every mediocre sci-fi movie in history.
01:33:23.240
So you have Jeff Goldblum running our space force.
01:33:30.380
No, there's a big, huge asteroid coming towards us.
01:33:33.260
And again, this is not like, hey, we want to explore space.
01:33:36.720
This is, we need a sixth branch of the military.
01:33:42.440
I mean, I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt
01:33:53.740
Jason, who works here, has a space force t-shirt.
01:34:08.180
It's a toy that sounds like a fun thing to have.
01:34:17.280
The amount of debt we are currently putting on,
01:34:37.240
what we should be concentrating on a space force.
01:35:13.500
Whatever Amazon ships on our subscribed delivery.
01:35:22.580
When my boyfriend and I got our first cat, Pete,
01:35:33.720
I know that we were being judged for buying pet...
01:35:54.640
Because we were at the time living in Berkeley, California,
01:36:01.820
We just fed him the same friskies that he'd been happily devouring.
01:36:11.960
So they go into how the person at the pet store looked at them
01:36:17.520
and gave them this horrible, you're a monster look.
01:36:28.480
What once was a simple choice between wet and dry food
01:36:30.860
now entails selecting from a dizzying array of corn-free,
01:36:33.980
potato-free, rice-free, oat-free, organic, grass-fed, cage-free,
01:36:38.140
frozen raw meat, alternative proteins like kangaroo and alligator,
01:36:41.920
specific diets for purebreds from Maine Coons to miniature schnauzers,
01:36:50.400
Plus, you're not going to feed it anything that has gluten in it, are you?
01:36:56.840
So when I heard about a Berkeley-based startup called Wild Earth
01:37:00.260
that was experimenting with sustainable clean protein for pets.
01:37:05.640
Made from a fungus called koji for dogs and lab-grown mouse meat for cats.
01:37:23.960
Now, this is not like, hey, we got a scientist together,
01:37:34.300
She met with the, in June, I met him at a vegan dog-friendly cafe
01:37:39.440
And he ordered cheese rolls made with tapioca and coconut.
01:37:46.760
Anyway, he goes on to talk about how it's super intense what you feed your animals.
01:37:51.120
And so he's working with biotech startups, and they measure or they make new meat for these animals.
01:38:04.340
He said, you know, why am I feeding animals to animals?
01:38:08.660
It's just not consistent with my personal ethics.
01:38:16.400
He said, so they launched it, and they first made dog treats made from koji.
01:38:23.500
It's traditionally grown on grain to make soy sauce, miso, sake, and vinegar.
01:38:34.260
He then says, lest we forget about the cats, mouse meat now is being made in a bioreactor.
01:38:53.380
He does say that he is a dog food and cat food manufacturer that believes that all CEOs
01:39:03.400
And so he eats the dog food, and he's proud of it.
01:39:08.080
But this new thing that they're making, it's mouse cells that grow the mouse meat from the serum derived from fetuses inside of slaughtered cows.
01:39:31.320
So when they slaughter a cow, if there's a fetus, a baby cow, they take that cow, and then they get all the yummy stuff out of that.
01:39:55.540
And he said, right now, it has kind of a runny texture.
01:40:18.240
No, tasting and eating, not the same thing, dude.
01:40:24.320
They didn't decide, I'm going to start eating spiders now.
01:40:34.760
And it's an Atlantic story about how this person in Berkeley is so tortured by friskies.
01:40:54.200
I think this is a sign, though, of our society really improving.
01:41:01.440
Because if you can be bothered by that, I mean, people in the middle of World War II in London
01:41:07.300
were not bothered by what they were feeding their cat, right?
01:41:11.580
In Venezuela right now, they're legitimately, literally eating dogs there to stay alive.
01:41:23.380
So, I mean, they don't even think about, wait, that's a slaughtered cow.
01:41:32.720
So, you're taking a fetus out of a mama cow and just harvesting new kinds of meat out of it.
01:41:42.300
But if you believe, like, the documentary, The Matrix, I don't know if you guys have ever seen that,
01:41:48.480
but they talk about how people are always going to have angst.
01:41:56.100
And the people who controlled The Matrix had to make The Matrix a little bit more negative
01:42:00.640
because people couldn't deal with it when it was so positive.
01:42:06.580
You might as well have it be about things that are in comparison trivial.
01:42:19.840
Think of the list of problems you've got to clear out before you get to Friskies.
01:42:24.480
Also, think of the list of problems we haven't cleared out, and that's still what they're focused on.
01:42:29.480
They're going to have something to answer to on the other side.
01:42:34.500
So, help me out, Pat, with the latest from Michael Moore.
01:42:50.560
His new thing is, Donald Trump is the last U.S. president.
01:42:56.260
His thing is F hope, because it's the lazy way out.
01:43:08.540
Hope gives you permission to let someone else do the work.
01:43:11.100
Hope leads people to believe that tax returns or a pee tape or the FBI or an adult film star will save the country.
01:43:17.300
Hope and the passivity that comes with it is what helped us get here to begin with.
01:43:23.120
Do you think there's anyone, anyone on the left, anyone that now looks at me and says, he was pretty rational compared to this.
01:43:37.600
Compared to the absolute absurdity that's going on now, we were Barack Obama fans.
01:43:51.880
He, and he claims he's got this new documentary coming out on September 21st, Fahrenheit 11-9.
01:44:10.340
I heard you going through, I think the other day on Pat Gray Unleashed on The Blaze, by the way, that you can listen and watch every day.
01:44:17.120
I heard you going over the all-time documentary numbers.
01:44:20.720
And there's a reason why he's coming back to Fahrenheit 11-9.
01:44:23.580
Because Fahrenheit 9-11 was the most successful documentary by like a thousand percent.
01:44:37.560
No, he got an Oscar for, wasn't it Bowling for Columbine he got an Oscar for?
01:44:42.980
The famous speech where he got, where even Hollywood booed him, which is one of my favorite moments.
01:44:52.080
And he had made, I think he got an Oscar for Bowling for Columbine, if I don't, if my memory doesn't fail me.
01:44:58.840
And he went on stage and he just started going, we oppose you, Mr. Bush.
01:45:03.660
And he started making this ridiculous like political thing and the crowd just starts booing him.
01:45:07.380
This is at a point where they hate George W. Bush.
01:45:10.180
I mean, the entire nation on the, when it comes to Hollywood, because they obviously see themselves as their own, like, they've seceded.
01:45:22.080
For making it so overtly political and ridiculous.
01:45:36.320
I mean, if he, it was, he's well over, he's the only documentary that's ever made it into, uh.
01:45:43.060
He, it was a hundred and twenty million, I think, hundred and twenty-five million, something like that.
01:45:57.480
He's, he made, what, two point three, I think, the first week.
01:46:03.060
Yeah, he thinks it'll make about thirteen, fourteen.
01:46:13.080
So, again, we're not in, uh, this is including that type, which is at seventy-seven.
01:46:21.820
Uh, 2016, Obama's America made thirty-three million dollars.
01:46:25.240
So, the next political one would be, uh, Dinesh.
01:46:28.100
Uh, and then after that, you know, Michael Moore's Sicko, 24 million, An Inconvenient Truth.
01:46:34.220
I mean, here's a, here's a movie that affected a generation of political debate.
01:46:43.820
Bowling for Columbine is also, it was the one he won an Oscar for, 21 million.
01:46:48.200
Um, and then, you know, the next one is, um, Won't You Be My Neighbor?
01:46:55.480
He's saying he's like the greatest guy of all time.
01:46:58.020
I, I, I'm really interested in seeing it because it's very rare that you see a movie get so universally praised like this.
01:47:05.280
I'd like to see the, I'd like to see the dark underbelly of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.
01:47:15.820
Even as a kid, I was like, Mom, I shouldn't trust, when you're talking about Candy from Strangers, it's that guy, right?
01:47:35.160
By the way, Rotten Tomatoes, 99% for Won't You Be My Neighbor.
01:47:39.180
Who's the one critic who's like, you know what?
01:47:50.660
I don't know what was happening to us at that point.
01:47:56.160
He says, Michael Moore claims there's a real insurgency taking place and it's not coming
01:48:01.440
He doesn't want to divulge too much, but he says there's true resistance.
01:48:10.280
And apparently he's going to feature some of that in the movie.
01:48:12.600
So it's an interesting time to turn your party overtly to democratic socialism.
01:48:23.380
Because, I mean, you can do that at any time, right?
01:48:27.860
These are the worst performing currencies against the U.S. dollar.
01:48:31.640
You know, like, for example, India minus 7% over the past year.
01:48:46.800
I mean, look, we know what's going on in the Sudan.
01:48:48.520
It's the worst thing that's probably ever happened.
01:48:50.080
It's a national, a global, you know, catastrophe.
01:49:04.160
They're like, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is the way to go.
01:49:15.480
I wish I could listen to him for like two or three hours.
01:49:18.820
Like, maybe like if he had his own show on like Pat Gray Unleashed or something.
01:49:22.240
Where you could watch him on the Blaze Radio and TV networks.
01:49:23.760
And if you didn't get enough there, maybe you could watch him on the news and why it matters.
01:49:27.160
It's happening at 5.30 p.m. on the Blaze as well.
01:49:34.120
You get on iTunes and you get to hear me and you get to hear Glenn and you get to hear Pat and Doc and Sarah.
01:49:42.660
Owning a home has never been easier and it continues to be a great investment.
01:49:46.340

01:50:08.220
So, this is not a company that is controlled by the banks.
01:50:12.420
This is, you're not going to be talking to a salesperson when you call up and you go to a bank loan.
01:50:28.980
At American Financing, they don't, their salespeople, if you will, are not salespeople.
01:50:36.340
And so, when you are there, they're working for you, and they're going to the banks, and they're saying, this one, this one, this one, what's going to happen?
01:50:47.780
And they're not making money on that deal with you.
01:51:27.120
You should call about 445 Eastern Time to get in line.
01:51:32.100
It is wall-to-wall phones with you today on The Blaze TV.
