00:01:31.560Stephen Miller is the Deputy White House Chief of Staff.
00:01:34.780And it is, by the way, as of the time that we are recording this, it has 27 million views.
00:01:41.100So people are seeing Gavin Newsom saying Stephen Miller is a fascist.
00:01:44.520And just to remind you, the bullet casings from the rounds that were fired and murdered Charlie Kirk, among the things etched on the bullet casings were, hey, fascist, catch.
00:02:27.360When he was greeted formally by former President Joe Biden and then, of course, at the Capitol during the inauguration, which, by the way, was like a supervillain convention that the American people had to witness.
00:02:40.360And it's been a national nightmare ever since.
00:02:58.920That was Friday night, by the way, where he says that the inauguration is supervillain convention.
00:03:05.540Tim Waltz, governor of Minnesota, obviously was Kamala Harris's vice presidential nominee, has described ICE as, quote, the modern day Gestapo.
00:03:13.780J.B. Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, claimed the country is becoming, quote, Nazi Germany because ICE is, quote, grabbing people off the street and disappearing them.
00:03:26.920Now, Jasmine Crockett, who manages to never find a level too idiotic, too inflammatory, too over-the-top that she's willing to go, she compared ICE to, quote, slave patrols.
00:03:59.980His bus was in Portland, Oregon, and it was firebombed because these idiots saw the word ICE and thought that Ice Cube was ICE, the Immigration Enforcement Agency.
00:04:12.120But, like, these Antifa leftist knuckleheads, you know, by the way, like Ice-T and Ice Ice Baby better, like, you know, cover up their name tags because the folks that are angry are not terribly bright.
00:04:28.640But it is a consequence of this demonizing, of treating them.
00:04:35.500Look, it's fine for one side or the other to say, I disagree with my opponents.
00:04:45.160That's the normal give and take of political discourse.
00:04:49.620And there's something fundamentally different when you scream fascist, Nazi, Gestapo, and you direct it not only to your political opponents who keep being the victims of violence, but you direct it to law enforcement and to ICE.
00:05:03.240You know, I was just in Dallas at the ICE facility where another deranged shooter unloaded on an ICE facility, and it seems no matter how bad it gets, the Democrats keep it up.
00:05:50.980Not even a chance to kiss a loved one goodbye.
00:05:52.960Just grabbed up by masked agents, shoved into those vans, and disappeared.
00:05:57.140When you compare the old films of the Gestapo grabbing people off the streets of Poland, and you compare them to those nondescript thugs who grabbed that student, that graduate student, it does look like a Gestapo operation.
00:06:15.600You know, my dad served in the Second World War.
00:06:18.760He fought the Nazis, and I think he's looking down right now, and he's happy that I'm fighting today's Nazis.
00:06:24.900Because if we just roll this clock on the wall back 75 years, we'd be looking at a time in Nazi Germany where people ran around with signs like this new ICE sign that says, report all foreign invaders to ICE.
00:06:42.360With Uncle Sam there holding up the sign.
00:06:45.320This could have been a Gestapo member 75 years ago.
00:07:28.240And I don't even remember ever witnessing anything like that.
00:07:31.720To have a democracy, a pecan of hope for the world to now be turned into one of the, you know, one of the worst countries where the military are in our streets without any regard for people's constitutional rights.
00:07:51.140While our president is spending millions of dollars prompting himself up like a failed dictator.
00:07:58.220Every single ICE agent who's engaged in this aggressive overreach and are trying to hide their identities from the American people will be unsuccessful in doing that.
00:08:32.620I mean, just watching everything online now, the ICE, you know, thugs and people do not want to continue to watch people fund this kind of extraction.
00:09:03.960I called ICE the modern-day Gestapo a few months ago, and some people thought that was going too far, thought that was too extreme, got angry at me for saying that.
00:09:35.140We're seeing aggressive Gestapo-type tactics in people being approached on the street, in their home, at the clinic, at church, at all kinds of locations.
00:09:49.320That's why this morning on the House of the Floor, I warned the American people that this is looking like the American Gestapo in the making.
00:09:59.440I think we need to be really active at, like, challenging what ICE is doing on every front we can, and obviously being ready in the case of Trump trying to call in the National Guard or whatever, the Federalized National Guard.
00:10:12.300I can't see how anybody can say they're a Christian and treat someone from another land, in their own land, this way.
00:10:22.300A lot of these folks are being picked up by, you know, hooded thugs in the street in the most un-American way.
00:10:29.440ICE agents without visible ideas, without any official markings on them, with masks, they're acting more like vigilantes than agents of our government.
00:10:43.920Because we don't live in a country, an authoritarian country, where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people.
00:10:56.260That's the stuff of authoritarian states.
00:10:59.380That is not the stuff of the—that's not how the United States operate.
00:11:03.360He sent out ICE and Border Patrol to intimidate folks from walking in to our event.
00:11:11.160He ended up arresting this poor soul that was just trying to sell strawberries as collateral damage to intimidate us.
00:11:16.900That is a preview, Stephen, of things to come in voting booths and polling places across this country.
00:11:22.240And the ICE issue is alarming beyond words.
00:11:26.860It is the private—largest private domestic army of its type, police force, anywhere in the world.
00:11:32.960He'll have 30,000 people that increasingly appear to be swearing an oath of office to him, not the Constitution of the United States.
00:11:40.660Again, wake up to what's going on in this country.
00:11:44.500That's happening in the United States of America.
00:11:46.700Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing, no due process, no oversight, zero accountability.
00:11:54.500Happening in the United States of America today.
00:11:56.540People ask, well, is authoritarianism you're being hyperbolic?
00:12:01.440If you're a black and brown community, it's here in this country.
00:12:04.620I have heard enough in the last couple weeks about ICE agents and wearing masks that I think when we win the majority in the House,
00:12:17.080you're going to see enough Democrats make it a priority for ICE enforcement, that they are no longer faceless.
00:12:25.140It looks too much like some 1800s bank robber or, you know, some KGB officer in Russia, you know, pulling protesters off the streets.
00:12:35.860Senator, you listen to that, and it's very clear that Democrats get talking points and they stick with them.
00:12:43.260And when they do this, they're doing it on purpose to undermine the rule of law, to undermine law enforcement.
00:12:49.160We've seen them do this to the Supreme Court as well.
00:12:51.220There's quite a few examples recently of them really just using their words to turn people to hate someone, to hate law enforcement, to hate police, to hate the Supreme Court, to hate law and order.
00:13:05.840And yet they say they want to ratchet down, but they're not.
00:13:08.460They're doing the complete opposite of that.
00:13:12.240So one of the key Democrat talking points that they keep repeating is they say that ICE or fascists or Nazis or Gestapo because they're wearing masks.
00:13:20.700Let me ask you, why is ICE wearing masks?
00:13:26.060That's what it boils down to, so that they're not outed by the same people that have maps of where ICE agents are so that you can go after them if you want to.
00:13:48.680That's putting their children at risk.
00:13:50.600This lunatic in Dallas used an app, the ICE Finder, to go find the facility to get up on the roof with a bolt-action rifle and fire multiple rounds, murdering two people.
00:14:06.780I think it's perfectly reasonable if you're an ICE agent not to want a bunch of angry radicals who want to harm you and your family to be able to dox you.
00:20:45.840It caused a massive increase in health insurance premiums.
00:20:49.680It made the health insurance companies rich, and it made millions of ordinary Americans unable to afford health insurance.
00:20:57.420And, by the way, I was also fighting for it at a time when the House of Representatives that was Republican had voted to fund the federal government,
00:21:07.320fund the entirety of the federal government, but not fund Obamacare, so not fund the law that was causing damage to American citizens.
00:21:15.960And I said, here what's happening is Chuck Schumer is shutting down the federal government, not to help American citizens who are getting hurt,
00:21:23.540but he's shutting down the federal government in order to help millions of illegal aliens and give them free health care.
00:21:31.580And he's willing to shut down your federal government to give free health care to illegals.
00:21:38.080And that fundamentally, there's a hypocrisy to it.
00:21:41.360And I also said, you know, the reporters were like, isn't it the same?
00:22:15.900Today, all of you are still left-wing hacks.
00:22:20.060You agree with the Democrats, but the facts are so overwhelming.
00:22:24.740It is Chuck Schumer and the Democrats who are shutting the government down that even you dishonest liars are reporting this is the Schumer shutdown.
00:22:33.320Because the House has funded the government exactly the status quo.
00:22:39.040The funding yesterday has continued to tomorrow.
00:22:41.900It is the Democrats who said, let's shut it down.
00:22:45.920And I think at the end of the day, they're going to lose that battle.
00:22:49.340But this is what you got to ask yourself is how long do the Democrats have to perform for their crazy left-wing activists before they allow the government to reopen?
00:23:00.600As before, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic, you can go back and download the podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.
00:23:22.820And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:23:32.600So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:23:35.840Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:23:41.540I want to get back to the big story number three of the week you may have missed.
00:23:46.700The left-wing crime statistics center are brutal.
00:23:54.200There were over 10,000 demonstrations and caused $1 to $2 billion in insured property damage, according to Axios.
00:24:02.080This is the most expensive civil disorder in U.S. history.
00:24:07.600There were also 19 Americans in the conservative numbers who died directly caused by the demonstrations.
00:24:15.160And that's another data point that the left and the media does not want to talk about.
00:24:19.420But if you look at this and you see what the Democrats have done to our cities and the fact that this has all been, I think, bought and paid for, funneled money, going into these groups that are advocating for this type of organized violence, that's the other thing that scares the hell out of me.
00:24:37.620Well, and I want to draw a linkage between each of the stories we're talking about today, which is that we see left-wing policies that undermine law enforcement, that seek to abolish or defund the police, that put Soros prosecutors in office, that release violent criminals.
00:24:57.240And you see the result being more and more violent crime.
00:25:00.360You then see Democrats engaging in rhetoric to obfuscate, to hide that, to pretend it's not happening.
00:25:08.100But you also see the left engaging in increasingly angry rhetoric, demonizing their opponents.
00:25:14.920And if you look at ideologically motivated crime, the vast majority of it, violence that is ideologically motivated, the overwhelming majority is on the left.
00:25:26.260As you mentioned, the BLM riots all across the country.
00:25:29.760American cities burned all across the country.
00:25:32.140Not just that, you look at the anti-Semitic, anti-Israel campus protests.
00:25:35.740Those were leftists, those were anarchists, those were jihadists, those were communists.
00:25:39.920All across the country, over 2,300 anti-Semitic incidents reported on campuses, which is, by the way, the highest ever recorded.
00:25:53.66017 people injured, a state of emergency in LA County.
00:25:57.280The city reports 19.7 million cost as of mid-June.
00:26:01.140Of course, President Trump, the target of two assassination attempts.
00:26:05.940Tragically, our friend Charlie Kirk successfully murdered in a horrific assassination.
00:26:12.360This pattern, the murderer who flew from California to Maryland to murder Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
00:26:19.000Thankfully, he was arrested by the police before he could carry out that heinous act.
00:26:23.220But, and by the way, you go back to 2017, when a gunman came to Washington, D.C., looking for elected Republicans to murder, went to the congressional baseball practice, and opened fire, hitting multiple elected Republicans, nearly killing Steve Scalise.
00:26:40.160Had the bullet been an inch one side or the other, Steve, a good friend, would have been killed that day.
00:27:16.920And this week, we saw two more instances happen.
00:27:22.060We saw, number one, immigration and customs enforcement agents targeted in two separate car attacks during enforcement actions in Chicago this past week.
00:27:33.660It turns out that when Democrats demonize ICE, when they call them Nazis, as the Democrats have done over and over and over again, our last podcast, we played a whole clip of Democrats calling ICE and law enforcement Nazis and Gestapo.
00:27:48.140It turned out when you use that kind of language, there are lunatics who listen to it and move to violence.
00:27:55.820As you know, I was on the ground in Dallas and was on site within minutes of the sniper attack at the ICE facility in Dallas.
00:28:03.660It's by a deranged leftist who wrote his left-wing agenda on the shell casings, emulating what Charlie Kirk's murder had done.
00:28:15.920This pattern is happening over and over and over again.
00:28:20.100And I've got to say, Ben, it's disturbing.
00:28:21.780I don't see many Democrats modulating their rhetoric.
00:28:29.780Gavin Newsom just this week called Steve Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, a fascist, using the same language that motivated, among others, the murderers of Charlie Kirk.
00:28:41.960They keep doubling down and doubling down and doubling down, and they know more ICE agents are going to be targeted.
00:28:47.340They know more police are going to be targeted.
00:28:48.820And I want to be clear about something, because some will say, well, gosh, there are crazies on the right who commit violence, and that's true.
00:28:58.580But if you look at ideologically motivated violence, the crazies on the right who commit violence are usually just mentally deranged people.
00:29:06.480So, or to put it a little different, liberals can be the victims of violence as well.
00:29:14.280So Nancy Pelosi's husband was attacked by a deranged, mentally ill person with a hammer.
00:29:20.360Now, that was tragic, but I would not describe that as ideologically motivated violence.
00:29:27.100He was simply a victim of a mentally ill person engaging in an act of violence.
00:29:32.600And that's horrific, and there's a difference.
00:29:36.740Nobody, violence is never, never, never right.
00:29:39.680And the difference is the left celebrates it far too often, encourages it on the front end, celebrates it on the back end, whereas any principled conservative I know of will condemn violence across the board, say do not engage in violence.
00:29:51.880And compare the difference of the reaction.
00:29:54.520When George Floyd died and you had violent riots and fires across the country, compared to when Charlie Kirk was murdered and you had candlelight vigils and prayer vigils.
00:30:02.840And the violence was from the leftist attacking people, praying and holding up candles.
00:30:08.680Well, and not only that, you even had Democrats this week attacking Jeffries, talking about those that went to the Republican convention as being like extremists.
00:30:17.620I mean, they're not dialing this back.
00:30:19.380Well, supervillains, supervillains is what he called the inauguration.
00:30:25.720He said that there was a supervillain convention.
00:30:28.320And that is them not downplaying this.
00:30:31.520That is him ratcheting it up, knowing that we just left Charlie Kirk's funeral from being assassinated.
00:30:37.560And the hate on the left, it is directed at conservatives, it is directed at capitalism, it is directed at Americans, but it's also viciously anti-Semitic.
00:30:46.620Again, on Yom Kippur in Manchester, a Syrian, a Syrian, ironically, with the name, wait, wait for it.
