The Department of Justice has released a letter written by the would-be assassin in Palm Beach at President Trump s golf club where he says, I failed you in my assassination attempt of President Trump. And he talks about a $150,000 bounty for President Trump for anyone to finish the job. This is absolutely outrageous that the U.S. DOJ, controlled by the Biden-Harris regime, that despite the threat assessments being incredibly high on the life of President Donald Trump, who literally took a bullet for democracy back in July in Butler, Pennsylvania, it is inconceivable that the DOJ would release a letter that essentially puts a bounty on President Trump's head. This is un-American and as a result of the Democrats' very violent and divisive and dangerous rhetoric, President Trump is in grave danger. And now, because of the rhetoric coming up, coming out from the left and the Democrats, where there are literally hundreds of quotes coming from Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Democratic members of Congress, even called for Mr. Trump to be shot? This is outrageous and as we've never seen this before in American history, where a president or presidential candidate has been targeted as many times as President Trump has been. And at this level that he is at right now, I can t figure out why they would do such a thing. And let's not forget, he's not the sitting president. If he was, we would have had to hire a golf course surrounded by shrubbery. All right, let's take a listen to this clip from a clip from this clip. And I would imagine that the next time he was at a golf club, there would be a little bit more people around the perimeter, is there any up-security in the perimeter? And so I have to beg the question, what was this able to happen, and in our future residents? We'll continue to follow this story by the New York Post yesterday in a story I just published yesterday by The New York Times? Why have tens of millions of illegals entered our home in Chicago the last couple of years, without any home here in Chicago? And why do we have a sanctuary here here here? And I have made it a sanctuary city in Chicago in Chicago, particularly in the south of Chicago, I made it here here in the west side of Chicago? Why not here in my home here here, I have a home here, in Chicago?"
00:01:07.980I failed you in his assassination attempt of President Trump.
00:01:13.220And he talks about $150,000 bounty for President Trump for anyone to be able to finish the job.
00:01:23.020This is absolutely outrageous that the United States Department of Justice,
00:01:28.800which is controlled by the Biden-Harris regime,
00:01:32.380that despite the threat assessments being incredibly high on the life of President Donald Trump,
00:01:38.100who literally took a bullet for democracy back in July in Butler, Pennsylvania,
00:01:44.060it is inconceivable that the Department of Justice would release this letter that essentially puts a $150,000 bounty on President Trump's head.
00:01:58.020I can't figure out why they would do such a thing.
00:02:00.860And you can only imagine that from this point moving forward, these crazed, psychotic individuals will now think that there's a reward for trying to take out President Trump.
00:02:16.700We've never seen this before in American history, where a president or presidential candidate has been targeted as many times as President Trump.
00:02:25.180In fact, Gerald Ford, in 1975, had two assassination attempts within weeks apart.
00:02:31.340But here you've got President Trump, very serious assassination attempts in just a couple of months apart from each other.
00:02:37.980And unfortunately, because of the rhetoric coming up, coming out from the left and the Democrats,
00:02:43.320where there are literally hundreds of quotes coming from Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden,
00:02:52.420Nancy Pelosi, and Democratic members of Congress, who have consistently said President Trump is a threat to democracy,
00:03:00.220the MAGA movement, a threat to democracy.
00:03:02.580And in fact, one member of Congress, Democratic member of Congress, even called for President Trump to be shot.
00:04:37.160And let's not forget, ladies and gentlemen, that the Trump International Golf Club there in West Palm Beach, what's across the street?
00:04:45.540The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office.
00:04:48.100And so I have to beg the question, does anybody look out the window?
00:04:52.060It is outrageous to make that very lame, poor excuse from a senior law enforcement official within the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, the actual sheriff himself, to say that security was lax because he's not the sitting president.
00:05:10.400But in another breaking news story, a story just published yesterday in the New York Post, Venezuelan gangs, armed Venezuelan gangs, are taking over the city of Chicago, particularly in the south and west side of Chicago.
00:05:29.080Because Democratic leaders in Chicago have made it a sanctuary city.
00:05:33.900And over the last couple of years, under the Biden-Harris open border policies, literally tens of millions of illegals have entered our country without any question.
00:05:47.000And about 30,000 of those have made a home here in the city of Chicago.
00:05:51.920And we'd have no idea who they are, what their backgrounds are.
00:05:55.460There's a reason why there are signs posted outside of prisons and jails warning motorists, do not pick up hitchhikers.
00:06:07.980Yet, under the Harris and Biden regime, millions, tens of millions of illegals have entered our city.
00:06:15.380And we're seeing the consequences now.
00:06:17.660And joining me live is the founder of Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change, Tyrone Muhammad, who was featured in yesterday's New York Post story.
00:06:30.360Tyrone, welcome to the Stone Zone, and thank you for joining me.
00:06:41.260And we've been on a round of tours and a bunch of conversations over the phone regarding public safety of Chicago streets and communities.
00:06:52.700And just the overall disinvestment in our communities and what's been going on for the last, as I can say, since I've been born, but for the last three or four years, especially since the arrival of the migrants.
00:07:06.420I call them the terrorists on our shores and in our communities.
00:07:19.660Tyrone, I noticed your Ex-Cons for Trump hat.
00:07:22.880And we're going to talk about that a little bit later in the show.
00:07:25.860But I just wanted to give, I love your shirt there.
00:07:28.500I just want to give everybody a little bit of context and some background.
00:07:32.040You are the founder of Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change.
00:07:37.580Please give everyone an idea of the work that you and your team do day in and day out to make the city of Chicago, particularly the streets in the south and west side of Chicago, safer.
00:07:47.560Tell us a little bit about your organization and your mission.
00:07:51.340So, you know, Mark, I served 21 years in prison for murder.
00:07:55.020And after coming home, just sitting back, watching the, seeing that there was no real reformation in prisons and men coming in and out of prison from Chicago.
00:08:07.820You know, I said, you know, since we had a hand as men who are in prison, serving our time and transforming our lives and our, and our mindsets and ourselves and our families, we, we must take a personal responsibility to fix the damage that our own hands have caused.
00:08:26.760The terroristic effect of violence caused by our hands, forget about everything else.
00:08:31.880We're talking about what we've done and taking personal responsibility.
00:08:37.360We started, so we decided to start Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change because I wanted it to be a real serious notion and an affront to this so-called, what we always talk about as the 13th Amendment and being duly convicted.
00:08:53.400So, Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change is an organization founded by formerly incarcerated men who actually have served over 20 years or more to, to, to, to, to, to get back into our communities, to perform violence intervention, workforce development, and to mentor at-risk youth, as well as deal with all the returning citizens to put them on a path and a trajectory towards useful citizenship.
00:09:21.780And to help those coming from prison and those who would be cons to amalgamate back into society properly, as well as to educate young men into, um, eliminate or reduce, uh, uh, putting down a life of crime and to actively be involved in their communities.
00:09:41.100So, so Ex-Cons for Community and Social Change has been on the forefront of a lot of the violence intervention in the cities.
00:09:48.340And we patrol, you know, we have over probably 15, um, um, risks, I call them community response vehicles, as well as vehicles as well to transport our children from, um, programs to sports and, and so forth and so on.
00:10:08.740Even we have a nice vehicle also, uh, uh, a 15 passing van that you also had a hand in helping us to, to acquire, um, to help some of these at-risk youth get to and fro to program and, and do a lot of the behavior modification that we do to these young men to teach them about the value of being a citizen and not picking up guns and drugs to murder, um, they, that, that, that fellow citizens.
00:10:35.140Tyrone, I know that a lot of people, and I've, I've been guilty of this before I learned so much about all of this, but you think that these young teenagers, and that's, a lot of the crime is being committed by young teenagers, the carjackings, the armed, the armed carjackings, the armed, uh, robberies.
00:10:57.200But these young kids, they don't want to live a life full of crime.
00:11:03.300They don't want to be robbing people and stealing cars.
00:11:07.560What is sort of the, the genesis of this that leads these youth, these teens to, uh, be forced to go into a life of crime instead of a life, uh, about, about being a productive member of society?
00:11:21.080What, what, what's the cause, the root cause of these teens committing these acts?
00:11:44.280I had a scholarship, uh, to Spartan School of Aeronautics to, and I like to fix on turbine engines.
00:11:53.820So kids don't wake up in Inglewood, Lawndale, Woodlawn, Austin, and Chicago communities thinking they want to get into a life of crime.
00:12:03.000When you see no doctors, when you see no lawyers, when you see no real productive individual, you see more disinvestment, you see more negative than you see positive.
00:12:15.540So we're asking these children who brains are still forming in their head to not imagine themselves being greater than, than the community that they're, they're in.
00:12:25.400When, when, when schools are failing our children, Chicago public schools are failing our children, children has an opportunity, a greater chance of going to the prisons in the graveyard than they do in college.
00:12:38.140The, the, the unemployment rate right now for 18 and 24 year old black men and boys is over 70% in Chicago.
00:12:47.180And the chances of a young man acquiring a gun is easier than a young man acquiring a book is easier for a young man to get a good gun than a decent book is what I'm saying to you is that for one, understand people that's listening to my show and to, to, to, to the, to the stone zone.
00:13:08.020Black men and boys don't produce Smith and West and extended clips, hundred round drums, bullets, AKs.
00:13:34.360And that's a problem that this administration has, uh, uh, opened the floodgates for this administration have violated our community.
00:13:43.600And I would say for 60 years, we have persistently voted the same way over and over and over only to get the, the, the, the disinvestment and the conditions that you see every day in these communities with no real hope for changing it.
00:14:00.100Because men who are more than capable of changing it, Mark, they won't use guys like us who've experienced it, who've been through it, who are subject matter experts only because we don't take on the narrative that they are pushing.
00:14:13.760Tyrone, my last question is, and I want to talk about this New York post article, but I think it really set, creates the context for this governor, Democrat Illinois governor, J.B. Pritzker has been very critical of president Trump.
00:14:28.060And he's a, he's a, he's been weaponized by the Harris campaign to constantly attack president Trump.
00:14:35.560But what sort of, for everyone in on the record, for everyone to, to hear this directly from you, what sort of support has governor J.B. Pritzker and his administration, uh, uh, given to you and the organization that is out there helping these teens, violence prevention efforts?
00:14:53.860What kind of support have you received from the Democratic governor and the mouthpiece of the Harris campaign?
00:15:01.720Absolutely no support. In fact, our efforts, we've probably been in the, in the middle of intervening and, and two to 3,000 shootings since my organization has been in effect for seven, seven years.
00:15:14.600Not only that, we've been able to put over 400 ex-felons to work and, and I mentor personally over 80 at-risk youth and that, and, and, uh, former, uh, criminals, youth crime, youth, youth criminals in these communities that now are part of ECCSE that I have a direct relationship to.
00:15:36.400And, and, and, and for that matter, when, when, when, when the representative state reps and state centers, uh, allocate resources and funding to our organization to do the work, to continue to do the great work that we do, um, the line item and, and the allocations of funds, they never reach our, our organization because of my views and, and, and my support of Donald Trump.
00:16:02.420And, and, and, and, and anything dealing with any conservative notions, the Democratic Party here has openly violated ex-cons for community and social change, ECCSE, and put us, our group and organization on the no pay list.
00:16:19.480So any resources that was given to us due to, and based on our work and efforts, um, elected officials have taken a personal affront to us and made it their business not to allocate any resources or revenues, um, and services to our organization.
00:16:39.960And that's openly and purposely even denying us for you of them doing so.
00:16:47.640So Governor, Democrat Governor J.B. Prisker can go on national television.
00:16:52.100He can go on Meet the Press or on State of the Union on CNN and talk about how his administration is supporting violence prevention efforts.
00:17:00.400But here you've heard directly from Tyrone Muhammad, who's boots on the ground in the south and west sides of Chicago, that Democrats are playing politics with funding to reduce, uh, violence on our streets.
00:17:14.440So, so, so, so, so violence prevention, violence prevention funds, Mark, essentially is used as a tool to put people in order.
00:17:23.480It's like a campaign fund, so it's like getting violent prevention funds and using the tax dollars in a way that make organizations submit and to stay along the Democratic line.
00:17:38.820And as long as you're doing that, then you will receive the funding necessary.
00:17:43.240And this becomes the thing that I always talk about, Mark, when I talk about how Republicans and conservatives are missing the opportunity to tap in and captivate and capture a new voting bloc, a bloc that we, we either not coming out to vote or we're going to vote, uh, for Trump or we're going to vote Republican.
00:18:04.800But that the Republican party has to be made to understand that with four, four, 20 million ex-felons, Mark, please note this number, 20 million ex-cons across America, 80 million just as involved individuals.
00:18:21.980That means people had to brush with the law, people who, who, who've had probation, that's not, they didn't go to prison, but they are considered, they have records, 80 million.
00:18:32.760That voter bloc alone is enough for us to hit these swing states and tap into that will bring Donald Trump, uh, an astounding victory and by margins never seen by any president.
00:18:46.86080% is what the Democrats need to possibly win this election, uh, Kamala need to win this election.
00:18:55.560I'm telling you that the black men that I see and the black community, uh, members that I see, they have, they don't have 80 million, I mean, 80, 80% of the vote.
00:19:06.460They don't have 80% of the black vote and the way we're pushing the ex-cons for Trump, we're going to ensure that we deliver several million or more votes to Donald Trump, um, at this upcoming election.
00:19:20.300But we have to do the work. We've got a short time to do it.
00:19:24.300Tyrone, one of the key issues in this campaign is public safety regarding, uh, the open borders policies of the Democrats, Biden-Harris, and you're seeing this in downtown Chicago.
00:19:35.500This article that came out yesterday's New York Post, I think we've done a good job of setting the stage here, uh, we've now, it's now been exposed, Tyrone, thanks to this interview and your work, that very dangerous Venezuelan gangs have now infiltrated the streets of Chicago, and probably not just in Chicago, probably in these other Democratic-controlled cities like New York and other places.
00:20:02.320But let's park here in Chicago for a moment. Tell us about this new, this infiltration of these dangerous Venezuelan gangs, uh, who are now on the streets of Chicago.
00:20:13.500So, what happens is, Mark, you know, the dynamic of Chicago is like no other. Chicago, where Chicago tends to go, uh, politically, a lot of times, um, in terms of street gangs and violence or any culture, the world goes, society goes, right?
00:20:33.280So, with that, that Chicago is unique in that it has cliques and crews now. It has so many diverse cliques, sets, and crews that it's almost impossible to pinpoint, because one day you can have a group, the next day you can have another group.
00:20:49.600There's no real positive, no consistent flow of lines of who belongs to what gang and what tribe in Chicago.
00:20:59.820So, now, imagine in the Dayton-Chicago street, uh, with Trinidad-Aragas, the TDA-type gangs, that then, that know the language and culture of, of Spanish.
00:21:14.960And then they think about the Latin folks and the Latin kings. They are already historically are at war with one another. So, from the last time, I've, I know a couple of people who belong to the Latin kings, and they did an extensive recruiting campaign of the migrants that, that, that, that has been, um, flooding our communities, right?
00:21:40.100And they have integrated them in their street organization. But what happens is, in order to keep up with that, the Latin folks or the Latin disciples and, and the other brothers have to do the same thing.
00:21:53.100So, now, you bring people in, you bring them, the, the, the, uh, Venezuelans and the migrants, uh, I say terrorists, into the already ten, tenuous and, and tension-fed groups like that, Latin groups.
00:22:08.560Now you produce a, what is it, a pilot kid. Now you'll have these groups now warring against each other in these communities, but then more than, more than anything else, these groups then integrate into Black communities, taking over apartments, um, being, and all these big six flats and eight, eight flats and 30 unit buildings, where they all have been given shelter.
00:22:35.680Now they become, now they become, these, these communities and these blocks become their blocks and community.
00:22:41.820When they're showing their flags, that's like, when they stand out in front of a building, that's the way of showing their flags to say, this is our building, this is our block, this is our community, we're here, and we, we're playing on staying here.
00:22:55.440And, and, and, and, and so, what we're trying to do on the ground, or are doing on the ground, is to make sure that what the Democrats produce in terms of a public safety issue and potential terrorism in our communities, we're saying we're getting in front of it.
00:23:13.100So we want to know who in our community, um, um, um, um, who are these individuals and to keep the young wolves at bay by not striking or actually committing, um, violent act against these individuals, because we don't know who the enemy is.
00:23:32.060We don't know who the, we, we, we, and the, the, the, the disinvestment has increased the, uh, the tension exponentially.
00:23:41.920So we, we, we stuck on the front line with no resources to even get at this violence, because the police is made to do everything and the police can't do everything.
