Summary
Alfie Evans, 23 months old, is fighting for his life after being taken off of life support in a UK hospital. Doctors don't know what's wrong with him, but they know one thing...he doesn't need to die.

State mandated murder. That's the only way to describe it.
00:00:23.140
This is exactly what is happening in the United Kingdom.
00:00:25.760
The United Kingdom, England, is now mandating murder of a child.
00:00:33.280
Alfie Evans, 23-month-old boy, who is now defying his doctors and his government
00:00:39.580
by doing what none of them thought was possible.
00:00:46.120
Whatever you're doing right now, I want you just to stop and say a prayer if you're able.
00:01:24.460
Doctors couldn't find out what was wrong with him.
00:01:44.540
The parents have said, we'll take him elsewhere.
00:01:47.580
But listen what's been going on in the past 48 hours.
00:01:53.300
the UK court system ordered that Alfie could no longer receive medical care
00:02:00.940
Do you remember when people mocked us about death panels?
00:02:13.920
as they disconnected their son's breathing tube.
00:02:36.340
The doctors have done everything in their power
00:02:42.720
Let's not just push it off onto the government.
00:02:49.580
The doctors predicted Alfie would die within minutes
00:39:29.400
60% of Americans believe in the recent deployment of
00:39:37.260
55% of U.S. adults consider the deployment of the
00:39:42.840
National Guard to the border as effective in the
00:39:51.340
Now, if you've been listening to the mainstream
00:40:07.300
Because as the media portrays it, as Washington
00:40:10.260
portrays it, the only people who support having
00:40:12.520
the National Guard at the border are extremists.
00:40:15.320
Well, I just think that maybe good people, honest, good-hearted
00:40:25.380
Americans that just don't hate everybody are tired of being
00:40:35.080
Maybe in the recent narrative of multiculturalism at all costs, maybe
00:40:43.880
reason has gotten lost and multiculturalism is getting old.
00:40:50.660
Maybe the mainstream media has ignored honest Americans for too long.
00:40:55.000
It's a shame that it would take an English news agency to reveal such a glaring yet
00:41:04.860
But at this point, it's easier to find the few instances of factual, unbiased
00:41:09.720
reporting than it is to point out the glaring examples of the leftist media
00:41:17.860
But make no mistake, America, the message is clear.
00:41:26.500
You, as an American, are not the only one screaming in your car.
00:41:47.860
Still, I have another one of these stories today that I think is best
00:42:00.680
There are so many obvious things wrong with this that only a drunk person
00:42:08.260
Only a drunk person would be like, that's okay.
00:42:11.460
Is it okay if I start drinking before these segments?
00:42:16.980
I mean, I think we should do something authentic here if we're going to do
00:42:20.080
And I think probably to hear these stories, I should probably at least have
00:42:24.600
I think, I think only one of us should be able to operate every machinery.
00:42:34.800
Bernie Sanders is starting early for the 2020 presidential election,
00:42:38.620
announcing Monday that he plans to unveil a whole new set of promises that he
00:42:44.000
can't keep, including a massive government expansion plan that includes a
00:43:00.080
Sanders has an outline that calls for government to fund hundreds of projects in
00:43:10.700
It has been infrastructure week every week for quite some time.
00:43:23.720
Americans who want to do the hard work of building roads and bridges,
00:43:28.380
educating children and cleaning up embankments on major highways would either
00:43:32.320
receive a job with one of these projects, full health care and benefits and a $15
00:43:46.420
Now, here's the part of the plan that I think the people who put the plan together were probably
00:43:55.560
sitting in Bernie Sanders' office going, that is a fantastic idea.
00:44:02.760
We should, and I'm quoting, we should divide the country into 12 separate districts.
00:44:13.700
So we have, like, District 1 and District 12, and we have all these districts, and they
00:44:24.860
So, like, one district maybe just makes pants, and another one just, like, they do something
00:44:35.480
Would you envision some sort of maybe contest revolving?
00:44:39.860
Well, I would think that, yeah, weirdly, nobody noticed that the 12 districts is exactly the
00:45:09.380
It's not because of the Hunger Games, although I wouldn't count that out.
00:45:14.740
I mean, competing in the Hunger Games is a gig.
00:45:17.740
There are two people who are hungry, and there's stuff to do, and we can all dress up, and
00:45:25.840
Here is probably where he got the idea, and you tell me which is better, the 12 districts
00:45:37.300
from the 12 districts, you know, in the Hunger Games, or the 12 districts that you can find
00:45:55.460
There's no way this 12 districts thing is part of this Bernie Sanders plan, is it?
00:46:10.600
I told you this makes more sense if you're drunk, right?
00:46:27.120
It really does seem, according to the Washington Post...
00:46:49.200
And then every year we have like some sort of intradistic...
00:47:04.840
Under the early draft of Sanders Job Guarantee, local, state, and American Indian tribe governments
00:47:09.220
in every section of the country would send proposals for public works projects to their
00:47:15.880
We can send representatives to the capital city.
00:47:19.460
Every year a representative from each district goes to the capital city.
00:47:23.560
But what I'm saying is you keep saying this 12 districts thing.
00:47:43.700
It's basically the Hunger Games, except they're calling them regional offices instead of districts.
00:47:48.920
They called them in China and in Russia, they called them districts.
00:47:54.880
And those regional offices controlled each region.
00:48:02.000
And like why, if you had one of these jobs, let's say you had a job.
00:48:09.720
Okay, you're making pants at a real company, not a fake government company.
00:48:17.240
Let's say you're working at, you know, whoever...
00:48:26.340
I don't know what the difference is a government pants and a real pants are.
00:48:35.840
I've never made as much as $3,000 a year before.
00:48:45.580
Because let's say you're a drunk employee, right?
00:49:11.240
The zipper sometimes doesn't make it to the right place.
00:49:15.940
So you're making pants and you're a bad employee.
00:49:20.040
Let's say you show up to work drunk often, but you're holding it together and you're keeping
00:49:27.000
At the government factory where your job is guaranteed, why the hell would you show up
00:49:35.480
Why wouldn't you show up or not show up every day drunk?
00:49:39.280
Why wouldn't you switch from the real pants factory to the government pants factory where
00:49:51.540
If you would shut up for a second, I could tell you why.
00:50:03.720
The constitutional rights from the former Soviet Union, civil and political rights, you have
00:50:10.400
freedom of speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, unless they
00:50:17.800
If they are in conflict with the political beliefs, then you lose your right.
00:50:48.600
Then you have a violation of duty and it is a betrayal of the motherland and the gravest
00:51:05.420
I mean, this is ask Ukrainian potato farmers how this ends.
00:51:09.240
This is exactly how this has to end because human nature will make people fall to their
00:51:15.860
lowest level when they're not going to be inspired by what they do, when there's no
00:51:20.400
hope, when the economy's been destroyed because of these things.
00:51:24.400
And the only way to go to make people work in these contexts, as we've seen through human
00:51:31.040
And once you start getting to that point, we're in a totally different world.
00:51:34.500
Well, they're admitting this would completely remake the American experiment.
00:51:44.620
I want to fundamentally transform the United States of America.
00:51:55.480
I swear to you, I push that button and the music didn't start.
00:52:09.320
If you're looking to update your house, bring some sunlight in, you might want to think about
00:52:18.540
If you're looking to sell your house, this is the cheapest thing you can do to your house
00:52:28.640
We had these, well, I like to call them Donald Trump curtains.
00:52:32.840
I felt like I was living in Donald Trump's house.
00:52:35.580
We bought the house and they put these curtains up and we just, we left them up for a while.
00:52:39.700
But every time I walk into the bedroom, I was like, whoa, Donald Trump lives here.
00:52:44.040
And so we had to get, we had to get rid of them.
00:52:49.640
I don't know why, I don't know why I still feel like this.
00:52:58.600
On day one, went to the website, started looking.
00:53:01.860
So let's just, let's just schedule an appointment for some of the people that can help us there
00:53:07.280
We did a FaceTime session within 20 minutes with a guy who was really, really good, an
00:53:20.360
And if you accidentally mismeasure, you pick the wrong color, they're going to remake your
00:53:25.920

00:54:15.340
I, uh, I don't know how I, I don't know how I should feel, um, because I was, I was, uh,
00:54:23.500
I grew up on the West Coast and, uh, but I grew up before the West Coast went nuts.
00:54:29.620
But, uh, you know, I saw something from my childhood that I haven't seen and I called my
00:54:35.320
wife and I'm like, honey, I, I have got to go and, and have Shakey's pizza.
00:54:45.480
I grew up and it was like every kid, one of their birthday at Shakey's pizza.
00:54:51.960
And I said, no, I remember it a little like a paper towel and ketchup.
00:55:00.940
We serve fun at Shakey's, we've got singing and clapping.
00:55:14.080
So it's a pizza parlor that doesn't put pizza first.
00:55:18.300
And they have a piano playing, piano player, player, piano.
00:55:24.460
It was a big deal when I was a kid and Rob, who's traveling with us, he's our, I don't
00:55:33.860
He's the president of, of all things technical.
00:55:37.300
And that's the, that's the official title, Mr. President.
00:55:41.700
Uh, and, uh, we drove by and, and he remembered Shakey's pizza and he's like, oh my gosh, now
00:55:48.600
we're taking everybody to Shakey's pizza tonight.
00:55:56.040
I'm not sure how I'm going to feel after I've eaten something from Shakey's pizza.
00:56:01.660
So you're saying you're not fully confident in the quality of the actual pizza.
00:56:06.360
It's kind of like, for me, it's kind of like if you had grown up around McDonald's and then
00:56:12.680
you hadn't seen one in 40 years, you'd be like, McDonald's, McDonald's is my kind of
00:56:20.620
But everybody who's still been around McDonald's, like, it's not a happy place, man.
00:56:53.860
Part of its charm was, oh, it's like pizza on a paper towel.
00:57:16.520
So I've spent several birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese, which I do not.
00:57:24.280
I mean, obviously, Chuck E. Cheese is better because it's got video games.
00:57:26.800
But still, and it's got a dancing rat, which is fantastic.
00:57:51.200
They put them in front of restaurants so you don't go in.
00:58:07.580
Well, I got to tell you, I'm in love with the story of Shakey's Pizza.
00:58:14.760
Now, I've done a little research because they've got two, count them, two big locations here in Los Angeles.
00:58:21.400
I drove by a Shakey's Pizza here in L.A. just the other day, and I was like, oh, my gosh, I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid.
00:58:32.140
So I'm taking everybody to Shakey's Pizza today.
00:58:39.740
If it's good pizza, I'm going to feel really bad tomorrow for saying all this.
00:58:45.200
Now, if it's the pizza that I remember, I'm also going to feel really bad tomorrow, but for an entirely different reason.
00:58:55.200
I'm seeing, by the way, they have an authentic Texas barbecue chicken pizza, which I'm sure it will bring you back to the memories of your home here in Texas.
00:59:08.920
Shakey's Pizza was founded in Sacramento, California.
00:59:12.120
Nothing good comes out of Sacramento, California.
00:59:23.160
Johnson's nickname, Shakey, resulted from nerve damage following a bout of malaria.
00:59:34.940
Hey, I had just a touch of malaria, and I'm just a little shaky, but I found that now I can evenly put the cheese all over the pizza.
01:00:08.700
You're a pizza parlor, and your ovens don't work yet.
01:00:23.220
All they served, the only thing they served was beer.
01:00:29.740
So bring your kids down to Shakey's Pizza Parlor, because we got beer.
01:00:34.680
That's a wonderful addition to any children's pizza parlor is beer on the menu.
01:00:45.440
I was surprised, because, you know, with the new kids that we've known there for a couple
01:00:51.780
Chuck E. Cheese is great, because, number one, they serve beer, which I did not expect
01:00:59.200
I won't go until they start serving hard liquor.
01:01:08.120
It's hard liquor and handgun night at Chuck E. Cheese.
01:01:11.320
Does Shakey's, though, have the wonderful parts of it that are like a prison?
01:01:17.840
Because what I like about Chuck E. Cheese, I'm a big fan of this as a dad, is when you
01:01:22.420
come in, they give you, like, a stamp number on your hand, and they will not let a child
01:01:28.160
leave without the same, with a parent with the same number.
01:01:31.740
So, like, it's almost impossible for anything bad to happen inside of a Chuck E. Cheese,
01:01:39.540
So, you can go in there, and you can get, like, five pitchers of beer and pass out in
01:01:42.760
the booth, and as long as you've got enough tokens, likely your kid will still be around
01:01:50.380
Hang on, is that supposed to be a selling point, or something that tells me to stay away?
01:01:59.620
You couldn't have found somebody better, there's good, I don't want you walking away with a
01:02:06.260
bad guy, but you could have done some work and found a good family to go to.
01:02:14.340
Whatever parent gives you the most tokens, go home with it.
01:02:19.240
I do have to tell you this, you know, that's a kind of a weird selling point.
01:02:24.860
Hey, we're going to make sure that that child predator doesn't leave the restaurant with
01:02:35.640
I mean, that's kind of basic social contract stuff, you know what I mean?
01:02:41.420
You know, you don't go into a McDonald's and they're like, hey, because we have problems
01:02:46.800
with child predators here, we're going to stamp everybody's hand.
01:02:50.480
No, you don't even think of that at any other restaurant, you know, maybe Shakey should
01:02:57.560
We don't, we don't have the child predators hanging around.
01:03:00.440
I mean, if you've watched enough 11 o'clock news, you think your kids are going to disappear
01:03:07.040
At any time, there is always, there's about 75% of our society is built of child predators
01:03:14.240
Uh, so you, when you go into a place that they can't escape, like it's some sort of
01:03:22.020
You feel very, you feel very, you're, you feel a little bit more stable as a parent while
01:03:30.840
Um, by the way, uh, if you're, I think you have to, when you have one of these places have
01:03:37.440
You have to have the mascot, like Chuck E. Cheese has Chuck E. Cheese, E being his middle
01:03:44.040
Um, but they actually, people think, oh, they have the mouse there.
01:03:48.640
The Chuck E. Cheese is, Chuck E. Cheese is actually a rat.
01:03:51.800
They bought the costume and I think they thought it was a mouse and then realized afterwards
01:03:56.160
that in the original Chuck E. Cheese that it was a rat.
01:03:59.300
But it's a great idea for a restaurant because you're getting out in front of it.
01:04:02.420
If you have terrible, uh, sanitary habits and there's rats running around your restaurants,
01:04:07.060
the people are going to think those are just mascots.
01:04:12.900
And you know, it's not as cute, it's not as cute when you break it down.
01:04:16.380
Last name Cheese, middle name E could be Eaten.
01:04:31.800
If you've got a bunch of rats and you're like, and that one's Chuck.
01:04:51.900
We have Ron in New York who used to work at Shakey's Pizza.
01:05:03.100
Still, the malaria has gone away, but it's still great.
01:05:09.820
Do they still have the banjos at Shakey's Pizza?
01:05:14.440
The Shakey's Pizza, which was located in North Syracuse, New York, actually went out of business
01:05:27.000
The shakey would be on that, but basically they tried to expand their menu into barbecued
01:05:34.140
chicken and other things like that, and dollar-wise, it didn't work out for them, so they had
01:05:45.900
No, the Shakey's here was really kind of a great thing because it was mostly the people
01:05:54.560
that went there were college students, you know, Syracuse University, LeMoyne, Donatoga
01:06:00.620
Community College, and we had the player piano, we had the old-time movies on there, and we
01:06:08.560
also had a live, two guys that came in, and one played the piano himself, and another one
01:06:19.260
I remember this being a really fun place, but I was like six at the time, but I remember
01:06:27.380
it being, and it's strange because I also remember the pizza from a six-year-old point
01:06:35.820
of you being good, and then maybe again when I was 12, thinking, wow, it's not so good,
01:06:45.260
I'm going tonight because it's such a childhood memory.
01:06:49.780
But they have, what is it, 500 and some locations?
01:07:00.920
I always thought they were ahead of their time back in the 70s because they made people
01:07:05.820
pizzas, they made the Hawaiian pizzas, they made shrimp pizza, you name it, they would
01:07:14.520
They started selling that there, and it was really a fun place to work, a fun place to
01:07:23.740
Now, maybe they went downhill when you got a little bit older, but I know when I was there...
01:07:29.960
There are two open right where I'm staying, and I'm going tonight, so there.
01:07:38.560
I am a lucky guy, because it's Shakey's Pizza, and I haven't been there since I was six,
01:08:03.100
And I don't know if I'll be disappointed if the pizza's good.
01:08:17.240
That is a very weird thing to prioritize the fun over the pizza.
01:08:21.460
That you're telling people that the pizza's not good when you say, we serve fun and also
01:08:26.960
That is not the way to structure that sentence.
01:08:32.540
They better be throwing the pizza dough up when I get there.
01:08:56.320
If you've ever taken your car in for an oil change and a mechanic finds something wrong,
01:09:01.040
surprise, you're hit with a repair bill that you didn't expect.
01:09:08.880
I took one of my trucks in off the farm and it was a $5,000 bill.
01:09:20.620
I just said to the mechanic, I've got CarShield.
01:09:27.080
I walked out with a $5,000 repair bill for free, taken care of, because I have CarShield.
01:09:36.280
If your car breaks down after the manufacturer warranty expires, you could be out of pocket
01:09:51.520
And I think for my first car, I think I paid $1,500.
01:10:09.620
Anyway, CarShield makes the process of fixing your car for a covered repair super easy.
01:10:14.480
You can have your favorite mechanic to it, or you can have the dealership do the work.
01:10:18.020
They also provide 24-7 roadside assistance and a rental car while yours is being fixed
01:10:23.480
So if your car has 5,000 to 150,000 miles, it doesn't mean you have to pay high repair
01:10:27.780
CarShield administrators have already paid out close to $2 billion in claims, and they're
01:10:33.120
So save yourself thousands in future car repairs.
01:10:35.640
Get it covered by the ultimate in extended vehicle protection like I did.

So I don't know if you've heard the news, but Grover Norquist has lost his re-election
01:11:24.700
Last year or two years ago, when he was up for re-election, we said, don't elect Grover
01:11:39.660
Uh, and, uh, and he just squeaked by and was on the board.
01:12:10.200
Uh, I was, uh, uh, uh, uh, I was for, slightly, John McCain.
01:12:27.920
I was for everyone else but Mitt Romney in the run-up.
01:12:35.040
And then Mitt Romney, and so I was like, okay, all right, I'm for him.
01:12:49.220
This is not true, but people say that I was for Hillary Clinton.
01:12:58.700
Maybe I should just, whoever I don't want to win, I should campaign for.
01:13:04.500
This is interesting because so many people have spent so much time trying to convince
01:13:10.500
Maybe what you want to do is convince you to vote for the other guy.
01:13:12.700
I'm going to start, I am going to start selling my endorsement to people you don't want to
01:13:23.720
I won't take money from Hillary Clinton, but I would have taken it from Donald Trump
01:13:31.500
If that means she loses, yeah, okay, I'll do it.
01:13:35.140
So you're like, you're now outwardly advertising yourself as the kiss of death.
01:13:44.960
I'm kind of like, I'm looking for angel of death investors.
01:13:48.520
So I'm like, if you want to invest in the angel of death, I'm here for you.
01:14:01.580
I don't know if it's entirely legal, but we just won't talk about it.
01:14:04.460
We'll just joke about it like we're thinking about doing it, and then we'll throw everybody
01:14:10.520
We used to say this about when the Devil Rays, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were the Tampa Bay
01:14:14.580
Devil Rays, and they were really bad, and they had Tropicana Field, and we used to joke
01:14:18.920
that it was actually Minute Maid who bought the rights and then just named it Tropicana Field.
01:14:31.180
I think this is a legitimate new business line for you.
01:14:38.020
This portion of the program brought to you by MSNBC and George Soros.
01:14:49.000
Woodrow Wilson was the greatest president of all time.
01:15:13.640
You know, sometimes I just kind of feel like Gandhi should have said, you know what, you
01:15:31.120
The news organization that has garnered 52 Pulitzer Prizes.
01:15:39.280
The news platform that nearly all other news networks get their news reporting and information
01:15:49.020
First Lady Melania Trump greets the Macrons with a hat.
01:16:06.580
The article goes on to mock the First Lady for her appearance.
01:16:17.500
I thought we weren't supposed to notice beauty, and we certainly weren't supposed to notice
01:16:25.560
They're mocking a legal immigrant, a woman, who came here and achieved the American dream
01:16:37.800
If you look at the byline, it doesn't credit any writer.
01:16:41.900
Now, you could say it's because everybody was like, I didn't put my name on that piece
01:16:50.740
So the editors at the Associated Press had a little powwow, no offense, you know, meant
01:16:57.620
But they all agreed, yeah, yeah, this is great journalism.
01:17:05.260
Let's credit this to the entire news organization.
01:17:08.380
Now, here's why I say Gandhi should have once in a while said, you know what?
01:17:15.820
During the Obama administration, do you remember how the media pranced around every chance to
01:17:48.800
The Hill ranked her number nine on their list of the 50 most beautiful people of 2015.
01:17:58.760
The media adored her every step like a newlywed couple watching their child's first step.
01:18:09.300
Strong woman, exemplifying power, beauty, feminine grace.
01:18:14.400
They belotted Michelle Obama every turn of the way.
01:18:26.760
I mean, you can look at her abs, but she's walking away.
01:18:38.740
Meanwhile, Melania Trump, literally a model, literally a super model,
01:18:47.600
has been ignored at best and scowled by the media.
01:18:53.680
This is the latest example of the mainstream media's hatred for President Trump.
01:19:10.060
They're frothing at the mouth, waiting for him to fail, doing everything they can to make it happen.
01:19:15.940
But say what you want about the man, but delusional hostility is far more frightening than anything else.
01:19:34.740
She wasn't the most beautiful person in the world.
01:19:38.440
She didn't have, my wife has arms better than hers.
01:19:43.040
That doesn't mean that Michelle Obama's are bad.
01:19:49.440
If you think that she was one of the most beautiful women in the world, good for you.
01:19:56.160
Oh, she is just the most beautiful, striking woman.
01:20:07.860
But when you have a supermodel to then come out and like, look at her.
01:20:22.620
We have to find we have to find common sense and reasons reason.
01:20:30.060
Can we stop lying to, not each other, to ourselves?
01:20:38.600
We all know that Melania Trump, if she were out there, you know, touting abortion, she'd be the most beautiful, elegant woman.
01:20:51.140
She is the most beautiful woman since Jackie Kennedy.
01:21:02.560
We need to find we need to find those people on both sides that will just admit reality and just stop hating and doing everything you can.
01:21:14.480
And I have to tell you, we have to find these people before before the other people, mainly the media, sink the boat entirely.
01:21:34.440
Hour number one, we did a full hour on what's happening to our friends in England.
01:21:42.900
You know, we were mocked for saying that death panels are a result of universal health care.
01:21:49.380
There is this two-year-old boy named Alfie Evans.
01:22:17.480
The Pope has a helicopter at the airport ready to whisk him to Italy, and the Government Institute
01:22:25.780
of Health has decided he doesn't have any reason to live.
01:22:28.600
So they unplugged him from the ventilator, expected him to die right away.
01:22:35.700
It took six hours of the parents begging, please let us give him a drink of water.
01:22:45.060
And I don't know what can be done at this point, but Will Maul from Faithwire has been
01:22:52.000
following this story and can give us the latest.
01:23:03.100
I don't know what, I don't know what the UK is turning into.
01:23:11.940
So they're in the Court of Appeals in the UK, and the hearing's going on right now to
01:23:18.420
They're still arguing that Alfie can be transported to Italy.
01:23:22.560
Like you said, they've got guys on standby to take them there, but it's not looking good
01:23:31.560
Will, are you in the UK now, or are you here in the United States?
01:23:39.100
But yeah, they're just across the water there in Liverpool.
01:23:43.820
And it's really, really, really disturbing in many ways.
01:23:49.040
So, Will, are you, are the people over there, are they, are they as upset about this?
01:23:56.120
Or is this just starting to become normal that the government's just killing kids?
01:24:06.020
We saw a similar thing with Charlie Gard a while back.
01:24:09.440
But it's, the silence from, I would say, from a lot of politicians and a lot of faith leaders
01:24:18.120
There's not much outrage at all from many leading figures.
01:24:21.920
I think I've seen one member of the European Parliament take a real stand against it and team
01:24:27.340
But it's, it's quite confusing why there isn't more of an outrage when you actually look at
01:24:35.380
So they, they have, I don't know if you've seen these pictures.
01:24:39.600
I have not gotten permission from the family to release them.
01:24:45.820
But I have pictures of, of the care that he was receiving, if I can even call it that.
01:24:55.680
I have a picture of his breathing tube in him and it is covered in mold in the inside.
01:25:02.560
I have a picture of him in his bed where he is, he is wet all the way up almost to his
01:25:12.820
I have pictures of the, the crust of, of snot all around his tubes where they hadn't changed it.
01:25:29.520
I haven't personally, I haven't seen those pictures yet, but it's, it is, it is concerning.
01:25:34.740
And just looking at the courts, uh, they've very much been focused on the best interest
01:25:40.000
That's a, that's a phrase they use a lot, um, in the family law here.
01:25:43.860
They say, oh, we, we want to see, um, everything done in the welfare of, of little Alfie and
01:25:49.660
But they've said that it's in his best interest not to be transferred to Italy, which you can
01:25:54.400
kind of understand because he's obviously a fragile patient.
01:25:57.600
And if they're worried, he's going to die in transit, then that's like, you know, that's
01:26:02.240
But then they've also said it's in his best interest that he not be, that treatment not
01:26:09.740
So they conclude that they're saying that his best, the best interest in the case of this
01:26:16.500
Um, and that's extremely disturbing and I can't see why, uh, more people aren't outraged
01:26:23.100
What, what is it going to take to, I mean, we, here in America, when we started to
01:26:27.580
going down the road of universal health, I said, look, let's just look at this logically
01:26:31.940
when there's not enough money, somebody has to make the choice of who lives and who dies.
01:26:38.400
And the government is going to have a death panel of sorts where they will decide what
01:26:45.820
Well, everybody said that was a horrible conspiracy and I was a bad man for even saying it, but
01:26:52.620
How many of these have to happen before people start to realize over in England, wait a minute,
01:26:57.580
I'm in control of my own life and I'm in control of my children's lives.
01:27:05.520
And why, and why hasn't there been a deference to the parents?
01:27:08.580
Um, it's the judge effectively is saying to them, we know the best interest for your
01:27:15.720
Uh, there's no space for the parent to actually say, well, no, you don't, you know, this is a
01:27:19.620
grave situation, but we should be given the final, uh, the final say on what happens
01:27:25.720
Um, uh, and even, I mean, I think that the courts really are doubling down on their, on
01:27:33.320
They're trying to set a legal precedent and they've refused to engage with, um, any public
01:27:38.120
scrutiny over, you know, their assertions on the sanctity of life, because it's really
01:27:46.600
And, and clearly, um, you know, you could, you could argue they don't.
01:27:50.080
So it's, it's highly, highly concerning for the future, I'd say.
01:27:55.900
Because they expected him to die as soon as they took him off the ventilator and he, he
01:28:01.660
Uh, is, is anybody saying, oh, wait a minute, maybe we should reevaluate.
01:28:07.260
Uh, I mean, is this, is this meant anything to anyone?
01:28:11.480
From what I've seen, the barrister from, from the hospital is, is sort of, um, backtracking
01:28:17.660
and saying that now, uh, on Monday before they took the ventilation off Alfie, he actually,
01:28:22.980
there was a team of medics who explained, uh, that actually he could be alive for seconds,
01:28:28.200
for minutes, uh, for hours, or indeed for days.
01:28:31.240
So, um, that's the argument that they're saying is that was clearly explained to the parents,
01:28:36.100
um, and that he actually, he was, there's, there was always a chance that he might, um,
01:28:41.220
be able to breathe on his own for a period of time.
01:28:43.280
And of course, then came the, the situation in which his parents, as you said earlier,
01:28:48.460
were, were desperate to get in some food, uh, and some oxygen and some water, which he
01:28:56.000
So, uh, that's, uh, yeah, it's, it's, it's a difficult one, but, um, but you know, Alfie's
01:29:03.300
father today, he said, he said doctors only just started feeding him at one o'clock yesterday.
01:29:07.400
Uh, but his mic support was switched up at 9 p.m. the previous evening.
01:29:12.200
So that's, I mean, that it's, in many ways you could say that's starvation, you know,
01:29:19.980
How are the parents, have you interacted with the parents at all?
01:29:24.100
I haven't, I haven't managed to get hold of the parents.
01:29:26.620
Uh, obviously it's an incredibly, um, it's just, uh, it's mayhem really outside the hospital,
01:29:31.920
but, um, we have spoken to the Christian Legal Center, who are the, the guys who are
01:29:38.840
Um, I spoke to one of the, the, the representatives there just before the Supreme Court ruling,
01:29:43.460
and they were quite hopeful, um, that actually Alfie, in their, in their view, is being held
01:29:52.260
Um, and then of course the, the Supreme Court ruling was that, um, the side, they sided
01:29:58.880
with, with the hospital, with the doctors, and they said, actually, this, this, uh, this
01:30:04.140
At that point, they'd said, actually, this is, it's not lawful to, you know, it's, it's
01:30:10.960
It's lawful to treat him up until the end of his life.
01:30:13.860
Um, but, uh, I mean, the guy we spoke to, Roger Kiska, at the Christian Legal Center, I
01:30:19.400
noted, um, yesterday, he said, um, you know, we, we think it's, it sets a dangerous precedent
01:30:25.320
when the state determines whether the quality of someone's life is good enough for them
01:30:30.000
Um, that should be a determination made by the parents, and I think that's what really
01:30:34.120
they're, they're trying to argue now in this hearing today is, is, you know, at least, at
01:30:39.500
the very least, we should be able to transfer him home and be with him in his last, in his
01:30:49.440
So, yeah, there's, I'd say it's still a long way to go, but it's been an arduous process
01:30:55.660
So, Will Maul from Faithwire, thank you for your reporting, thanks for being on the program,
01:31:00.720
and, and, and thank you to everybody at Faithwire.
01:31:03.840
I know a lot of the guys there, and you guys are, are on it, and if the people of faith
01:31:09.160
don't wake up and start stepping to the plate, we're all lost.
01:31:25.560
Boy, sometimes don't you just want to, just lock your kids away from what's outside, what
01:31:35.560
they have to, all the crazy stuff that's going on.
01:31:39.100
Um, obviously you can't do that, but Liberty Safe can, uh, take everything that is of value
01:31:44.460
to you, besides what is of true value, your, your family, and they can make sure that nobody
01:31:51.360
Liberty Safe, um, just the best built safes in America.
01:31:55.220
I have, uh, for the museum, we have five of them.
01:31:58.720
Uh, and I mean, we keep, we keep all of Thomas Jefferson letters.
01:32:09.480
I have the letter from Thomas Paine to Ben Franklin after he wrote Age of Reason saying,
01:32:18.460
I'm actually trying to get the people in France to understand and reason with them.
01:32:27.300
Man, if there's a fire, I want to make sure that that thing survives.
01:32:31.080
If there's a, a hurricane or a tornado, I want to make sure that that safe can be picked
01:32:38.700
That's why I have it in a Liberty Safe, whether it's your guns, your photos, whatever is important
01:32:45.000
Now you can get 12 months interest-free payments with zero down and zero APR.
01:32:48.880
They even offer Liberty Safes for as low as $20 a month.
01:33:38.140
You know, I can, I can, I can see why so many people just kind of want to tune out.
01:33:45.780
I mean, cause you can go your life and you can just, you know, see the crazy things and
01:33:51.400
kind of laugh them off and, uh, and go through your life because none of our lives have, have
01:33:57.320
really, truly been that deeply affected except on, you know, you want to start your own business
01:34:03.720
or maybe you're trapped in, you know, uh, a class because you just can't break out anymore.
01:34:09.820
Um, you know, whatever it is, we, we, we all have our frustration.
01:34:14.660
Maybe you're frustrated like the VA, the guy from the VA that we spoke to today.
01:34:19.500
He's, he gets a, he's on a morphine drip, gets a splash of morphine every six seconds.
01:34:25.400
But the VA has decided that, you know, Hey, you know, pain is, is a relief of pain is not
01:34:34.320
Uh, but, but, but most of us have not been affected that deeply yet.
01:34:41.740
Uh, and so we, we just stand by these usurptations, these, these, uh, um, affronts to our, our freedom
01:34:52.840
and our, and, and the things that we hold dear.
01:34:55.800
But boy, we are, we are entering the time now when, when, when our biggest ally is euthanizing
01:35:04.660
children in exactly the same way and exactly the same reason that Germany started their
01:35:12.300
euthanasia program for kids that were just suffering.
01:35:20.080
Even the country that voted for Hitler forced that to end.
01:35:44.460
There's a couple of things that you should know about the, uh, the NRA held their, their
01:35:52.500
board, uh, elections and Grover Norquist has lost.
01:35:56.840
So Grover Norquist, thank God is no longer part of the NRA and the NRA is, I think getting
01:36:05.900
The NRA just broke a 15 year fundraising record.
01:36:10.780
Now think of that for everything that has gone on, uh, in the last, uh, in the last
01:36:14.440
15 years, all the close calls that the second amendment has had, the NRA just broke its
01:36:25.920
And speaking of good news, I, I have to tell this story.
01:36:29.160
I don't know if you saw the, uh, the picture of, of the Michigan highway yesterday.
01:36:37.820
There was a guy who was thinking about throwing himself off an overpass and he was going to
01:36:44.400
throw himself off this overpass onto the freeway and, uh, a, a trucker heard about this.
01:36:51.940
And so they, they, the truckers all got together and said, let's park under the overpass.
01:37:03.320
And so the police helped them get on the highway going the opposite direction.
01:37:08.820
And what they did is as this guy was standing on the edge of the overpass, all of these
01:37:18.580
So if he jumped, he'd only fall like 10 feet and they blocked his, his path to suicide.
01:37:25.720
I think that's one of the greatest stories ever.
01:37:30.000
If you haven't seen the picture, it's, it's an amazing picture.
01:37:48.840
And, but you're, you're feeling really horrible today, but you haven't called a doctor, which
01:37:56.860
Uh, because you would be on hold and then you would talk to a nurse and then they would
01:38:02.140
write something down and then you'd never hear from them again the rest of the day.
01:38:12.840
They thought he had a kidney stones, but he, well, he does, but that wasn't the problem.
01:38:17.260
He had a scar tissue in his fallopian tubes, uh, and, uh, he's never going to be able to have
01:38:24.760
I don't know how it all worked, but you know, well, actually I do, but I'm a doctor, but I'm
01:38:30.420
trying to break it down into layman's terms so you can understand.
01:38:35.380
So, so Pat, um, have you heard the Bernie Sanders plan?
01:38:41.600
Where, where everybody gets a guaranteed job and income.
01:38:46.740
What's wrong with everybody having a job and everybody having income, Glenn?
01:38:55.480
But have you heard the details of how they're going to do this?
01:39:03.440
No, he had details in this plan and Stu did not believe me.
01:39:07.320
And so he, he went to the internet trying to prove that I was wrong.
01:39:13.960
You were actually not wrong on this one for once.
01:39:27.800
Now, see if you think that there's a problem, at least in PR alone on this one.
01:39:33.320
Um, he announced that the way they're going to make this work is they're going to divide
01:39:54.080
How can you be, how can everyone around you be so culturally deaf that you don't, that
01:40:02.840
nobody says, uh, that was the plot of the Hunger Games.
01:40:07.680
Not only is it the plot of Hunger Games, it's the actual action plan from one of our, uh,
01:40:21.060
But here's the thing, and I'm just going to give this one to Bernie for free.
01:40:24.880
I don't know if they know that George Washington was a slave owner, but I think it's wrong
01:40:29.080
that our capital is in a city called, uh, Washington.
01:40:32.060
I think we should, I think we should just call it Capital City.
01:40:39.320
So we've got 12 districts and the Capital City.
01:40:46.460
Uh, yeah, well, look how well it worked, uh, in that documentary.
01:40:50.560
I mean, it went really, really well, really well.
01:40:57.480
There were some people in that society who did very well.
01:41:00.780
Uh, they gave, they gave some of the kids an opportunity to get some exercise.
01:41:09.180
Can I take a stand against the mayor of San Francisco on something?
01:41:17.480
Uh, the most non-caring bastard I think I've ever, I've ever read.
01:41:23.100
After years of complaints, San Francisco, San Francisco mayor Mark Farrell vowed on Friday
01:41:29.240
to become more aggressive in clearing the city's sidewalks of homeless encampments.
01:41:35.740
He told the San Francisco Chronicle, listen to this, listen to this heartless bastard.
01:41:45.880
We've offered services time and time again and gotten many off the street, but there's
01:41:50.140
a resistant population that remains and their tents have to go.
01:41:54.720
We have moved as a city from a position of compassion to enabling street behavior.
01:42:06.960
The poorest among us, the destitute, those who need help the most, that's who he wants
01:42:15.980
They can't even have their tents up on the streets.
01:42:18.740
He says tents are a public safety hazard for the people living in them.
01:42:26.700
He's trying to convince us that it's his compassion to not enable people to live in tents.
01:42:34.760
You know what he purports to be against are the human poop piles all along the streets
01:42:49.220
Along with a lot of used syringes and drug paraphernalia and trash.
01:42:55.480
And probably five or six of the poop piles could be large dogs.
01:43:05.060
What year was that when San Francisco hosted the Super Bowl?
01:43:17.460
And it was supposedly, he paid 15 million for it.
01:43:20.200
And I think he overpaid a little bit, but that's what you do in San Francisco.
01:43:25.320
I'm staying at an Airbnb, and I think it's Casey Affleck's place.
01:43:46.980
These blue cities are coming apart at the seams.
01:43:51.820
It was horrible on that nice block, if you remember, with the smell.
01:44:04.280
And San Francisco is probably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, or at least
01:44:12.880
But I think, though, that it is, I think this is starting to come undone.
01:44:18.520
I think people are like, enough is enough, man.
01:44:21.500
Yeah, well, you've got a super liberal here who's upset with his own policies.
01:44:24.980
So, finally, I mean, they're waking up to that, at least, right?
01:44:30.100
Like, how many human poop piles can they have on any given stretch?
01:44:43.040
And you can't, at night, the city is handing out tents.
01:44:51.860
But now San Francisco is saying, hey, you can't live in tents on the sidewalks.
01:45:11.420
And all of these cities have been with the same leadership for 60, 70, 80 years.
01:45:17.920
And in some cases, completely uninterrupted over that time period.
01:45:27.840
Surprisingly, the year that Detroit was named America's best city.
01:45:33.200
Yeah, one of my favorite stats in any of your books, Gled, goes back to, I think it's an inconvenient book.
01:45:39.380
And it goes over, it looks at the cities with the top 10 cities with the highest poverty rates at that time, which was what?
01:45:45.260
That was a 2007 book, 2008, something like that.
01:45:47.720
But, I mean, it hasn't changed much since then.
01:45:49.760
And you look at those cities, going back, I think it was 50 years.
01:45:53.260
And the percentage of the time those 10 cities had been run by Republicans.
01:45:58.940
And it was something like, you know, 8% of the time.
01:46:02.640
I mean, like how you can go through a half century trying the same policies that result in nonstop poverty and not switch, you know, paths.
01:46:15.660
Somebody told me here in California, and I just haven't had the chance to look it up, and I just remembered it.
01:46:23.880
In a place where you have to have a permit for everything.
01:46:27.280
I mean, you know, Los Angeles is like New York.
01:46:30.860
And, you know, you do anything, you know, out of line.
01:46:38.760
And it's my understanding that Elon Musk only has a handshake on the deal of boring underneath whatever city here in the L.A. area he's boring underneath.
01:46:54.580
The city council and the mayor, he's like, look, I think I can do some things here.
01:47:21.680
In California, of all places, would be a little odd.
01:47:23.680
But you wouldn't be, I'll bet you, I will bet you, that Elon Musk has enough juice and enough trust.
01:47:30.620
And the city is like, look, if we're going to permit this thing, it'll never happen.
01:47:38.460
Maybe the idea for the city is to figure out if you can get Elon Musk to say less than 200 poop piles per quarter mile.
01:47:45.560
If you get him on that bandwagon, maybe they can get that done.
01:47:51.560
So a total of 400, I think, is the right number.
01:48:15.880
Can you imagine, I mean, imagine, is this a bad section of town?
01:48:26.380
I remember, do you remember we were walking, we had, you know, women with us, and we all said we would never, ever, if we lived here, let our wives.
01:48:36.100
You know, not let our wives, but encourage our wives to walk outside alone.
01:48:42.440
Because it was so dicey, and it was a good section of town.
01:48:47.820
I'll bet it one time, 10 years ago, 15 years ago, it was probably one of the nicest sections of town.
01:48:53.320
There's just no money flowing through that area.
01:48:58.460
That's what's amazing, is this is where all of our entire economy is pouring through this area,
01:49:09.660
I saw a picture of a house that was, I mean, looked like a stabbing cabin.
01:49:21.920
It was in a bad section of town, and it was a million dollars.
01:49:37.920
Hey, you can always make your own free country.
01:49:41.820
Well, background leashed coming up in just a couple minutes on the Blaze Radio and TV networks.
01:49:49.400
Isn't all of Washington, D.C., I mean, at least the capital, just a human poop pile?
01:50:04.400
If you're hiring, you need to find the right person.
01:50:12.880

01:50:28.200
Unless you have ZipRecruiter, they'll post one time, one click, and it's on 100 different websites.
01:50:32.660
But with ZipRecruiter, they also have upped the game some.
01:50:41.620

01:50:52.000
So it's not just hoping that they're going to see it.
01:50:54.840
And the invitations is what's revolutionizing the way you're going to find your next hire.

Fortune 100 companies, my company, we've used ZipRecruiter.
01:52:00.580
You know, we've often thought, you know, maybe we should have a dog's life.
01:52:05.380
And then you realize, you know, but they got to poop outside.
01:52:08.880
Well, maybe we just all move to San Francisco and we can all live the dog's life.
01:52:13.180
Anyway, Dave Rubin is going to be on the program today from Sherman Oaks.
01:52:19.860
Fascinating guy who used to call himself a progressive.
01:52:32.780
