Glenn Beck talks about the latest in Black Lives Matter's campaign against socialism, and how to keep your kids in school when they have a fever, and what to do when you have a sick kid. Also, a new sponsor of the show, Tempantos, has come out with a new way to keep track of your kids' temperature.
00:06:13.180It means recognizing that there is one common enemy, the white man.
00:06:18.040And the systems that they use are capitalism, patriarchy and fascism.
00:06:25.160They were created and perpetuated by white men for white men in the interest of white men.
00:06:31.300We need to address the fact that, you know, all of these groups of people, the issues they face, it all comes from the same people, white men.
00:07:33.560We have we have Linda Sarsour, Linda Sarsour, who is a radical Marxist Muslim.
00:07:46.440She has she has gathered together Joe Biden and his allies at a progressive Muslim voice event.
00:07:58.800And the the membership based 501 C4 seeks to mobilize American Muslims to advocate for issues that define who American Muslims are by what they stand for.
00:08:47.140She became famous for co-founding the Women's March.
00:08:52.080Remember that, ladies, when you all marched and you thought, oh, yeah, we're we're just marching with like minded people, you know, for women's rights.
00:11:13.480Yeah, he said Islamic phobia four times.
00:11:18.520He's, quote, Trump has named people with a history of open Islamic phobia, and he wants the Muslim community to know that's not who you are.
00:11:48.100Now, you would think, why would you want to destroy if you are, you know, as you know, as somebody who believes in the Middle East kind of rule?
00:12:02.440If you're an Islamicist, why would you try to defeat fascism?
00:12:06.680Well, because fascism isn't based on the Koran, but it's the same principle.
00:12:13.440Sarsour says our community is committed to ending the occupation of the Palestinian people.
00:13:20.820We appear to be a nation of people that are voting for suicide, that are rooting for national suicide.
00:13:29.500Why should Jewish people be any different?
00:13:32.020Meanwhile, two squad members, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, are up for re-election.
00:13:44.700And they are now fending off primary challengers in a closer than expected race next month.
00:13:51.000Their contests, while complicated by different forces, both threaten to break up the group, which also includes Alexander Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley.
00:15:28.880We know who funds them, what their goals are.
00:15:32.000We know that now and why they want to destroy everything that makes America the greatest nation on Earth.
00:15:38.600But why they also want to destroy Israel.
00:15:42.340Now there's this new piece of the puzzle coming in and it's all starting to happen.
00:15:46.940I said on Fox years ago, communists, radicals, anarchists and Islamists would work together.
00:15:54.360I told you that they would start to caliphate and then that uprising that happened in the Arab Spring would spread from the Middle East to Europe and then finally to America to destroy the Western world.
00:16:08.480Could you please play, Sarah, the quote from the organizer yesterday where she came out and said, you know, we started this over in the Middle East.
00:16:33.820It's a long way out to the other side of the studio.
00:16:38.480I tell you what, let me take a quick one minute break and then we'll come back with that clip because it's really important.
00:16:44.940And it's important for you to understand that tonight we are covering how what I told you was happening at Fox when I was there, that there would come a time where communists, radicals, anarchists and Islamists would work together.
00:16:57.680It's right now and why that's so important.
00:17:18.840If you have shelled out the Benjamins to get a pair of Apple iPods, for example, I want you to compare them to a pair of Raycons because you're going to kick yourself because I have.
00:17:30.660Apple iPods are so expensive and I find them really uncomfortable.
00:17:59.300They have six hours of playtime before you need to put them back into the recharger and the recharger.
00:18:05.140I think can recharge four times before it needs to be plugged in six hours of playtime, seamless Bluetooth pairing, more bass, more compact design that gives you a nice noise isolating fit.
00:18:17.000You can run with these things and exercise and they're not following out it falling out of your ears.
00:18:21.200And the best part is that the same great quality at half the price, half the price.
00:18:28.480One size fits all fitting system that when you get the case, you'll have little rubber parts that you put on them.
00:20:00.420They've mocked me for the alliance of America's enemies.
00:20:03.600And I would just like to suggest that those in power maybe should spend less time mocking me and perhaps a little more time learning the definition of impossible lunacy.
00:21:36.000Well, if you're using the Honey app, what will happen is that all of the coupons and the discounts and all of the promo codes that maybe you don't even know about are all going to be applied to the things that you were buying.
00:21:49.160And it'll suddenly appear and the total will drop and you watch it drop.
00:21:54.000And certainly to a less frightening level.
00:22:26.800I don't know if you saw this, but yesterday, Red Bull, the owner of Red Bull, decided to fire all of his social justice warriors.
00:22:43.260He is he is going to have the wrath of God come.
00:22:47.280Well, no, the wrath of Satan come down on him by the social justice warriors.
00:22:51.780They had some wokesters trying to organize the workers of of Red Bull against the company and try to get them to admit to all of their whiteness.
00:24:14.220According to a Woke Party affiliate in Oregon, outdoor diversity groups like Outdoor Afro have found that it's common for black people to feel excluded,
00:24:28.000uncomfortable, and yes, unwelcomed when they try to enjoy outdoor activities.
00:24:34.600Black people and people of color make up 2.2% of Oregon's population, but only 0.9% of daily visitors and 1.9% of overnight visitors to parks.
00:24:51.480Meanwhile, whites account for 76% of Oregon's population, but 88% of the system's day visitors and 87% at night.
00:25:02.880The only logical explanation is white supremacy.
00:25:09.020We must, therefore, destroy this racism in nature.
00:48:30.680I mean, I think sometimes people are conflating the issues.
00:48:32.840But in this case, the choke hold is not the issue.
00:48:35.400It's the knee to the back or the chest.
00:48:37.040So essentially what they're saying, the council, the way they wrote the law, it is so restrictive that if you happen to put an inadvertent knee on someone's chest or someone's back, you will be subject to criminal prosecution.
00:48:50.380So when you're wrestling with someone, if your knee happens to touch their chest or their back, there is an opportunity there for a prosecutor to want to prosecute you under this statute.
00:49:08.060And, you know, it's just a position that we took in Yonkers, supported by Mayor Spano, that we were not going to be a test case for such irresponsible legislation.
00:49:20.760I spoke with Chief Monaghan, the chief of patrol, fantastic guy, progressive police leader, and expressed, you know, how sad I was about this.
00:49:29.020Because this is just an example of going too far and not talking to everybody.
00:49:33.420So tell me how you arrest someone, because, you know, I saw the shooting in Atlanta, and that guy seemed to be totally cool.
00:49:45.200And then all of a sudden, he flipped on a dime and just went crazy.
00:49:51.020And there's no way they could have put him into cuffs, which they were trying to do, if they wouldn't have pinned him to the ground.
00:49:58.620So, John, how is a police officer, with somebody who's fighting them, how is he supposed to keep them down without putting his weight on the main part of their body?
00:50:14.340Putting their weight on the main part of the body.
00:50:17.540And let's keep in mind that this is not a George Floyd situation where there was pressure on a neck for nine minutes.
00:50:24.580This is a situation where it could be five seconds to maintain control.
00:50:28.360And what I might like to add is that the safest way to take a violently resisting suspect into custody is to get him as handcuffed as quickly as possible.
00:50:36.740When you're able to knock that time down, where there is the struggle point, and they're not in handcuffs, that's where the highest likelihood and the most propensity is for a subject of arrest to be injured or a police officer to be injured.
00:50:50.900So, this almost seems to be counterintuitive to what I think they were trying to do.
00:50:55.580But when they're not listening or they're not willing to exchange different perspectives, this is what you get.
00:51:05.240So, what is this really going to mean to New York?
00:51:10.900Yesterday, CNN was talking about all the problems in New York, the radical spike in New York of problems.
00:51:20.380is caused by Donald Trump and the Republicans for not, you know, passing new gun legislation.
00:51:50.380What does this mean for New York City to be isolated like this and not have other officers run in?
00:52:00.700It is really a problem for New York City.
00:52:03.700And sadly, and you used the two most important words probably right now that we need to be more heedful of, is common sense.
00:52:12.160And there is no common sense right now when you pass legislation like this.
00:52:16.720And unfortunately, what you find, Glenn, is the folks that need us most in communities of color, in neighborhoods that have issues with poverty,
00:52:25.720they need the police, they need good, solid policing, we understand about police reform, we're for many different aspects of police reform.
00:52:36.820You know, this is a very, this is a business that shifts and changes.
00:53:05.440But what you're seeing now is a reversal of this.
00:53:08.540And, you know, the one thing you want as officers to come to work and feel like they're wanted and needed and appreciated, respected and valued.
00:53:16.080Because when you do that, they're going to go out and they're going to interact with the community and value and respect and listen to what they have to say.
00:53:25.680So what we're trying to do here is just to bring, you know, a little, listen, at the end of the day, I have, I'm responsible for the city of Yonkers and police commissioner there.
00:53:58.780People have come from all over the world to learn how the NYPD does policing.
00:54:03.960So when they say something like this is a problem, and again, I don't believe, I'm not going to speak for Commissioner Shea, but it's my understanding, they're fine with the chokehold ban.
00:54:11.240It's the knee on the back, the knee compressing the chest that is the issue.
00:54:14.640And I think when you explain it to people, like you and I are talking right now, I think the overwhelming majority of people are going to say, okay, yeah, I get that.
00:54:22.500But right now it seems like the most shrill, the loudest minority, like if you scream the loudest in the minority group, the small minority that just wants to yell and scream, you're taking away reasonable common sense.
00:54:37.420You're taking away people that are willing to listen and go back and forth and exchange ideas to get where we want to get in terms of policing in America.
00:54:46.900John, help me out on something, because you've been with the police for, when did you join the force?
00:54:52.740I started in the NYPD in 1992, I transferred to Yonkers in 94, and I've been there ever since.
00:55:01.800So what is it like for a guy who I assume was on duty or was called onto duty on 9-11, a guy who witnessed that and then went through the months of every New Yorker and everybody saying,
00:55:21.040thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, knowing that our first responders go through hell that none of us want to go through,
00:55:29.940and being that guy or that group of people that was probably put too far up on a pedestal, but now, 20 years later, you're hated.
00:55:45.700Well, I think we have to be mindful that I don't know if we are hated.
00:55:52.140I think that the hateful small segment of the population is very, right now, their voices are very amplified,
00:55:59.180and it seems like they seem to be the darling of certain media outlets, so it seems like we're hated.
00:56:05.280But the truth is, Glenn, I can tell you this with confidence.
00:56:07.720Our communities, our communities of color, our communities all over Yonkers, and I imagine it's the same in New York City, support the police.
00:56:16.460They want to feel safe because of the police, and they want to feel secure with the way we police, right?
00:56:22.500And we're constantly working towards that goal way before this, and I'll even do you one better.
00:56:26.260We were really appreciated during our officers did a fantastic job during COVID, where, you know, New York City, New York in general was the epicenter, you know, with many, many, many cases, and probably is where it all started.
00:56:38.860But at the end of the day, people really appreciated us, and then it all kind of fell apart.
00:56:43.740But I think the key is, Glenn, is to continue to engage your community, to talk with them, to exchange ideas, and take the time to have discussions, real conversations, not when someone's screaming at you or trying to coerce you to do something, because that's not what professionals do.
00:56:58.960Professionals stand up, and professionals assess situations, and they take the time to talk to people, and then you arrive at decisions.
00:57:08.560Unfortunately, it appears that, you know, sadly, the New York City Council has no interest in talking to Commissioner Shea or the leadership of the NYPD, which is second to none in policing in the entire world.
00:57:21.040John, I've got to cut our conversation short, unfortunately, but I want to ask you one more question.
00:57:27.100And this goes to just your general feeling with what's going on, let's say, right now in Portland.
00:57:33.140And the governor and the mayor, they're screaming that the feds are there, and they're kidnapping people in the street, et cetera, et cetera, and they want nothing to do with that.
00:57:46.140Is the president, do you believe, is he right?
00:57:49.760And I don't want to make this about the president.
00:57:51.300So if you were president, would you be doing similar things?
00:57:56.780Are we reacting, or are we overreacting or underreacting on these cities where they don't seem to enforce the law at all?
00:58:04.620It's a great question, because in a democracy, these are the steps that, you know, Western civilization has to take to get where they need to be.
00:58:14.980Like, there was a transformation when, like I said, the 2,300 murders in New York City.
00:58:20.260People got to the point where they said enough is enough, and we need, you know, really good, clean crime strategies to get us where people feel safe and secure.
00:58:31.660There's going to be a consequence for lawlessness.
00:58:33.900There is, and you hope that people will take a look at it and say, I don't think this is exactly the good way to go, that, you know, we have elected leadership saying, well, you know, we have to let people vent.
00:58:52.180It's not okay to try to hurt police officers.
00:58:54.380And I think what you're seeing there is really irresponsible among elected leadership, and you hope that eventually people will take notice of it and say, this just isn't the way we can do things.
00:59:03.120I mean, it's 55 days now, and it's $30 million worth of property damage.
00:59:08.340Like, at what point does anyone say, this is absolute, this is a disaster?
00:59:12.420We have to try to figure out a way to secure and reclaim the streets and not allow people to get hurt and not allow lawlessness.
01:07:17.120Uh, and there was a resurgence last week of the left trying to mock me.
01:07:22.080I said one time, I think last week or the week before I said, look at the Islamists are starting
01:07:27.800to gather together with the communist and BLM.
01:07:30.800And I, I played the audio of BLM people at a, I think it was a care rally and the care people at a, at a BLM rally.
01:07:41.040And, uh, of course, all of that was left out of the articles that were published, uh, you know, the actual facts, but they were calling me crazy again for saying, and I thought, wow, we are really hitting them where it hurts right now.
01:08:54.280There's something else that's going on, uh, that you need to be aware of.
01:08:58.580Um, yesterday, the Chinese consulate in Houston, um, the police were called because apparently they were in the middle of their, their consulate.
01:09:11.260Consulate in the courtyard and they were burning all of the records of the consulate, which is almost like a Nazi movie, isn't it?
01:09:23.480I mean, that's usually what happens, you know, right before, you know, uh, an enemy of war comes in to your consulate.
01:09:32.480Uh, uh, things are getting a little spooky.
01:09:35.480I think honestly with China, um, the United States has abruptly ordered China to cease all operations and events at its consulate in Houston.
01:09:46.420Uh, the Chinese foreign ministry is really upset.
01:09:50.680They say this is unprecedented escalation, uh, in recent actions taken by Washington.
01:09:56.480The state department said there, they directed it to close in order to protect American intellectual property and Americans private information.
01:10:06.420But they didn't, they didn't say what prompted it.
01:10:10.400Wasn't it just a couple of days ago though, that they announced that they had caught China trying to hack in and take all of the research for, uh, the, the new, uh, uh, uh, virus, uh, inoculation that we're working on.
01:10:27.820Um, um, the state department said in a separate statement, China has engaged in years in massive illegal spying, spying and influence operations.
01:10:37.760And those activities have increased markedly a statement posted on the official social media.
01:10:44.120The Chinese foreign minister said the order to close the consulate was political provocation, uh, unilaterally launched by the U S which seriously violates international law,
01:10:55.420basic, uh, uh, norms governing international relations, uh, and bilateral consular agreements between the Chinese, the Chinese and Americans.
01:11:04.520Um, the statement goes on to say the U S has been shifting the blame to China, uh, for, uh, the, the China virus.
01:11:16.360Uh, they said they have tried to stigmatize and have, have, have, uh, performed unwarranted attacks against Chinese social security.
01:11:25.420Um, harassing Chinese diplomat and, uh, and staff in the U S intimidating and interrogating Chinese students and confiscating their personal electronic devices, even detailing, detaining them without cause.
01:11:39.360I mean, China is talking to us about detaining people.
01:11:56.580So if we're, we're trying to stop a little bit of that, wouldn't that be a refreshing change of pace?
01:12:02.080Let me tell you the, the, the city of Washington DC has partnered with China.
01:12:09.080Now China is in all of our universities right now and it is a subversive campaign.
01:12:16.520The university system, that's the first thing I've seen the university system do that.
01:12:21.100But I was like, really, they're okay with shutting all this down.
01:12:25.960It's massive corruption and an influence campaign throughout all of our universities.
01:12:32.260And a lot of them have stopped this because quite honestly, a lot of the professors are being arrested, uh, for taking money from the Chinese and smuggling information out of those universities and getting them to China.
01:12:46.380Um, but some of our cities are actually involved in Washington DC is one of them that is taking money and is, is, uh, taking all of this propaganda and putting it into the school districts.
01:12:57.380Uh, of, uh, of Washington DC, there's another story that came out yesterday about China.
01:13:03.360They have ordered, uh, Christians to take down all religious symbols, including crosses, crucifixes, and images of Jesus Christ.
01:13:15.000Uh, and ordered them to replace them with pictures of communist leaders.
01:13:40.640The government is trying to eliminate the Christian belief and wants to become God instead of Jesus.
01:13:47.940Officials said that those were receiving financial assistance from the government would have to take down the religious symbols and replace them with portraits of chairman Mao and president Xi Jinping.
01:13:59.600Uh, if they refuse to do so, they would, uh, they would face the loss of their welfare benefits.
01:14:05.840One villager, uh, recounted that officials tore down the Christian images in his home and replace them with a portrait of Mao.
01:14:14.580So, if, if, if your church is not enough, they are going into the houses of anyone who is getting any kind of help from the government and taking down all of their religious, uh, all of their religious, uh, icon.
01:14:37.240It works again next week, next week being voted for the radio hall of fame.
01:14:43.320And every day, every day, every day, I think, how do I have this job anyway?
01:14:47.800Um, also churches across the country are being attacked here in America and no one is saying anything about it.
01:14:55.220Uh, there is, there is an attack that is coming.
01:14:59.100And my guess is it is going to come on the, uh, the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
01:15:06.200Uh, first, I think they're, they're going to go after the easiest to pick off and they're going to separate us and they are going to take us down church by church.
01:15:18.020Um, I think the, the Catholics, um, may be, uh, you know, on that list as well.
01:15:28.500The, the Baptists are certainly going to be on that list, uh, but they are going to come for our churches.
01:15:34.460Most people don't know this, um, but we've had situations right now in America in the last few weeks that resemble what ISIS does to churches in the Middle East.
01:15:48.980They go in, they cut the heads off of the statues, uh, and they desecrate them.
01:15:54.780And then they try to burn them to the ground, uh, in, in Europe, just in France, in the last 12 months, there's been, I think it's 50 fires.
01:16:05.74050 churches have mysteriously burned down these grand cathedrals just burning to the ground, uh, in France.
01:16:14.420Nobody's been injured because nobody goes to church in France.
01:16:19.040Um, but they're sending, they're sending the same signal that they did during the French revolution here in America.
01:16:27.740That has not happened, but no one is reporting on the destruction and the arson that is happening in American churches.
01:16:38.140I warn your church, please warn your pastor, priest, or rabbi that these people are not fooling around.
01:16:48.940And when you come after the Western culture, you must come after God.
01:16:54.860You must come after the Judeo Christian principles, which come from, I don't know, Jews and Christians and what we believe.
01:17:03.920Those will come under attack and that is because I believe we are battling evil and not flesh and blood.
01:17:12.140That is the main target and, um, persecution, persecution is coming.
01:17:20.480If we don't wake up soon, persecution, grave persecution is coming.
01:17:28.080Uh, the kind of persecution that we haven't seen since maybe the first century, uh, as Christians and the kind of persecution that you now see in the Middle East.
01:17:46.020I trust if you've been through the process before, um, you don't have time right now for all that nonsense of what it takes to sell a house.
01:17:53.280You've done this before, uh, so you know what I mean.
01:17:56.620Buying and selling a home is challenging.
01:18:07.460When you get one of the agents that are from real estate agents, I trust, um, you're getting a walking, talking directory of every person in business that you're going to need in order to keep all the plates spinning throughout the process.
01:18:20.060The agent is going to know what the carpet guy to call his number is, and you know, who's going to paint and who's going to fix the flower beds and all of that stuff.
01:18:30.280If you're not doing it yourself and you need somebody else to do it, you, where do you even start?
01:18:36.200The real estate agent, a good one knows all of those people.
01:18:40.440And, uh, they're also going to be there all the way through advocating for the best deal, whether you're selling or you're purchasing a house.
01:18:48.020Real estate agents, I trust the name says it all.
01:20:47.720And I'm telling you, please alert your church.
01:20:52.860And if your church remains dead at this sleep, it's going to become a problem.
01:21:00.600And I don't mean it's going to become a problem that, you know, you're going to be persecuted and you're not going to know.
01:21:05.740No, they will become part of the prosecuting and persecuting team.
01:21:11.340There's going to be a clear, clear divide and you're going to be accused of all kinds of things that have happened in the past, all kinds of things that are going to be said about you.
01:21:23.800So if you serve the one God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you are going to come under attack and you know the truth.
01:23:20.320What was the shampoo where the girls kept doubling on the screens and you'll tell two friends and they'll tell two friends and they'll tell two friends.
01:23:28.060Remember that commercial from the 70s?
01:26:52.560And he is filing now to dismiss the charges against the McCloskeys.
01:26:58.020That is the that is the couple that has are now, I think, facing just as much trouble from the same kind of mob, except this mob is carrying briefcases.
01:27:36.420The charges should have never been brought in the first place, Glenn.
01:27:39.540I mean, this amounts to pure and simple a political prosecution, which in the United States of America is a very dangerous idea that you've got a local prosecutor bringing the full force of the government against law abiding citizens who are protecting their home and their lives.
01:27:55.300And they're facing four years in prison.
01:27:58.740I mean, if the fact that sink in, I think it has it could have a chilling effect on people exercising their fundamental right of self-defense, which, as you know, is deeply rooted.
01:28:29.800I mean that you have a right, if you're threatened, to not just defend your life or your family members' lives and not just your castle or your home, but your property.
01:28:38.260And that's exactly what's in play here.
01:28:39.900So at a time where you've got, you know, calls to defund the police, spiking violent crime rates, including in St. Louis, it reached over 135 murders already this year.
01:28:51.520You've got a prosecutor now targeting, targeting individuals, targeting law-abiding citizens for exercising this fundamental right.
01:29:00.320So it's incumbent upon me as attorney general, I felt somebody needs to do something about this.
01:29:04.920So we're stepping into the case and we're seeking a dismissal because it's my belief that the entire state has an interest in being involved in this case because of the chilling effect.
01:29:13.620You know, a high-profile prosecution like this, Glenn, where people feel like if they defend their property or their own lives that they might be sent to prison themselves is completely outrageous.
01:29:23.960I will tell you that, I mean, we are in so much trouble and, you know, I thank you for the work that you are doing with several other attorney generals across the nation to point out how much trouble we're in.
01:29:39.400You know, this prosecutor is taking money from George Soros.
01:29:42.940It seems to me that the attorney generals and the prosecutors locally that have taken money from George Soros are the ones that are all letting prisoners go and charging all the wrong people.
01:29:55.920But if you allow this to stand, God help us in the future.
01:30:03.280Someone can come in and take your stuff or burn your house to the ground and receive no punishment at all.
01:30:11.900But if you try to stop somebody from doing it, you go to jail, it's a world of the insane.
01:30:21.180It's completely upside down, Glenn, and I view my job as the attorney general of the great state of Missouri as the last line of defense.
01:30:28.900I mean, again, these charges should not have been brought, but this is a political prosecution by a local prosecutor who has an abysmal record of actually prosecuting violent crime.
01:30:37.900And she used the COVID-19 pandemic to release dozens and dozens of inmates charged with violent crimes out onto the streets, including people who were, you know, had pulled guns out on restaurant workers, attacked cab drivers.
01:30:53.560You know, and you've got, again, the backdrop here of defunding the police so that if you actually did call somebody to come and help, there wouldn't be the money there to support that effort.
01:31:02.420And our founders knew that in those instances, right, the right to defend yourself is paramount.
01:31:09.080It's a natural right we're all born with.
01:31:11.960And government is our shared project to protect our right, not to take them away.
01:31:16.380And that's what this prosecutor is doing.
01:31:18.560And so, you know, it's time that we stand up to this kind of nonsense.
01:31:22.280It's I mean, this isn't just a political statement.
01:31:24.800I mean, this is a criminal prosecution, which is dangerous.
01:31:28.660This is this is this is one of the most dangerous things I have seen possibly in my lifetime in America, because this is not what just one prosecutor.
01:31:42.260You know, you had the the Massachusetts attorney general Mara Healy come out and said, yes, America is burning, but that's how a forest grows.
01:31:54.860We are looking at people who are in charge of our laws and law enforcement and and they are rooting for the burning down of this nation.
01:32:07.940We are not just having some little disagreements.
01:32:10.820It is a excuse the expression, black and white reversal of all that we hold dear that is happening with some of these prosecutors and attorney generals.
01:33:49.720And what is is just as frightening as what's happening in Missouri with this case is the idea that they are now blaming the crime and the murder rate going up, not on any of the disruption, not on defunding the police, not on no one being arrested in our prisons being opened up.
01:34:12.340And so they'll take more guns away from law abiding citizens who are scared out of their mind because they don't know if they can call the police and the police will show up.
01:34:24.660Yeah, look, you've got violent crime is spiking, as I mentioned, in St. Louis, Kansas City.
01:34:31.720And Missouri has always been a bit of a microcosm for the country.
01:34:34.400Right. We've got two major metro areas, St. Louis and Kansas City, you know, sort of a demographic layout that that reflects the country.
01:34:45.400And so Missouri has always been kind of a reflection of what's going on.
01:34:47.920And what we're seeing is rising violent crime rates.
01:34:50.240You're seeing that across the country.
01:34:51.940And in the face of that, the answer by by those on the left is to defund police departments.
01:34:57.980And the other thing is criminals have been emboldened.
01:35:00.880If they don't believe that they're going to be held accountable or prosecuted for, you know, carjackings and murders, you know, we're going to get what we've got.
01:35:10.160So we've got to we've got to stand up to that.
01:35:11.940And this local prosecutor in St. Louis who's brought these charges with all of those things happening in St. Louis, a carjacking a day.
01:35:17.760There's the last year alone in the city of St. Louis are 360 plus carjackings.
01:35:22.800You know, they've got one hundred and thirty five murders and she's spending her time instead of taking care of those issues by targeting law abiding citizens who are exercising their fundamental right to self-defense.
01:35:54.680The people have reached out to our office are really appreciative that we stood up here and, you know, are entering this fight because my job is a G is to represent six million Missourians in the rule of law in our Constitution.
01:36:09.320It's a it's a document I swore to protect.
01:36:13.260And so the entering in this case, the chilling effect that this kind of prosecution can have on individuals exercising that fundamental right to self-defense can't be, you know, understated or can't be overstated.
01:36:25.520It's a it is a it's a it's a very dangerous road to go down and it needs to be stopped right away.
01:36:44.280I don't like the Department of Homeland Security coming into our towns and be in an extra police force.
01:36:50.360It's wrong, but we're sitting in a situation in like Portland where the mayor, the governor is not doing anything to a protect federal buildings, which I understand is what's happening right now with DHS is they're just protecting those buildings.
01:37:08.800But but don't we have a responsibility to the citizens of every town when their constitutional rights to be free are being violated by a mob and a governor and a and a mayor that won't do anything about it to uphold the constitutional law?
01:37:47.360I'll just give you an example in Missouri.
01:37:49.660The governor was very open to Attorney General Barr offering the help in Kansas City.
01:37:56.040And so federal law enforcement is going to be working with local law enforcement there on Operation Legend, which was named after Kansas City's youngest victim about a month ago.
01:38:06.000And we in our office have a partnership with the U.S. Attorney's Office, both in Kansas City and St. Louis.
01:38:11.620You know, part of that reason is the local prosecutor in St. Louis isn't interested in prosecuting violent crime.
01:38:17.340So we're working with the U.S. Attorney's Office to prosecute violent crime in federal court where the penalties sometimes are even stiffer.
01:38:24.180So I think the answer is there's partnerships in a shared understanding that everything we hold dear in this country, this idea, the American experiment, right?
01:38:32.240It is I wrote an op ed on the 4th of July.
01:38:35.620That's the idea of American exceptionalism.
01:38:38.060We stand out from the rest of the world in the history of the world where you had, you know, rights were given to you by government and you were subjects.
01:38:46.520And this experiment we have of self-government is that everybody has dignity and we have fundamental rights.
01:38:51.920The government's role is to protect those rights.
01:38:56.120And so I think that standing up for constitutional liberties, making sure people feel safe, striking that balance there is really important in a big conversation we should be having.
01:39:05.200And it sounds like, you know, some of these governors and mayors on the left, because they don't like the president, are unwilling to help, you know, protect the citizens they represent.
01:39:13.960And in Missouri, we're trying to forge a different path with those partnerships to make sure people feel safe.
01:39:19.320The victims always need to be front and center here.
01:39:22.100What gets lost sometimes are the kids being murdered, the mothers and fathers being lost.
01:39:28.020And as I talk to people in the community, they want to feel safe.
01:39:30.780They want to make sure that their kids can go to school and not have to worry about violence.
01:39:34.960And they have every opportunity this country, you know, can provide people.
01:39:38.560So it's a really important issue, and it's just sad that some people are politicizing this when this is a core fundamental value of public safety.
01:39:48.560Well, thank you for trying to get these charges dismissed against this couple in Missouri.
01:39:54.480I don't think it's right that they have to go through a year's worth of hell in a courtroom for something that is so clear, especially in a state with Castle Doctrine.
01:40:05.640Eric, I appreciate your work. Thank you so much.
01:41:37.100That could mean hundreds, if not a thousand or more dollars every single month.
01:41:41.580And if you take your high interest credit cards and roll them into this without resetting the term of your loan, my gosh, you will thank me.
01:42:50.800What's amazing to me is, I know, what's amazing to me is, if you didn't want Donald Trump, all John Kasich had to do was drop out there towards the end.
01:43:03.580All of that support would not have gone to Donald Trump.
01:44:16.980Uh, and, uh, ah, you would think that people be getting along with him because he seems so, uh, relatable, easygoing, seems like a guy you can relate to.
01:47:04.940Um, so Kanye West seems to be having some sort of a meltdown.
01:47:09.240Um, uh, he has claimed now on Twitter that he's trying to divorce his wife, Kim Kardashian, uh, and accused his mother, Kris Jenner, of engaging in white supremacy.
02:01:52.680We'll show you tonight how all of this has happened now, and it means not good stuff, especially if you're not prepared and not aware of what they are doing.
02:02:03.500We're in an election season, don't forget.
02:02:06.300And they've all come together in something called the Red-Green Alliance, and we'll tell you about that and more tonight, 9 p.m.
02:02:37.440Well, the only thing we can do about it is be prepared.
02:02:40.160We have a whole group of lawyers who are going out to every polling, every voter registration physician in the states, the secretaries of state, making sure that they, in fact, have a game plan as to how they're going to allow the voting to take place.
02:02:56.380Every voter registration physician is going to be, are these doctors who work on the ballots or do they work on the people that are casting the ballots?
02:03:06.360How does a voter registration physician work?
02:03:08.620Well, maybe you register and you get a COVID test at the same time.
