Hi, this is free thinking through the fourth turning. My name is sacha stone. Why the democrats can't keep america safe. Our virtual civil war part 2. Route 66 will turn 100 next year. It slithers along I40 as a road that almost didn't think it needed to be there. So much of roadside America vanished once they built the interstate, but you can still see signs of it here and there. Podcast listeners, a photo of the Ludlow cafe on Route 66. While glancing over at Route 66 as I drove back from Ohio to California, I couldn't help but see how America has become so divided between those who exist in the virtual new frontier of the Internet and those who still live in the long forgotten old America. An America Big Tech will soon leave behind. Podcast listeners, a picture of Trump on a trailer. Fight. Fight. A week or so ago, while driving through Lakewood, Ohio, I saw two police officers helping a ranting and raving woman open her locked car door. They just stood there with their heads down doing their jobs as temperatures sank to 20 degrees and the snow flurries swirled around their heads. They wanted to be home with their families, but there they were doing their jobs. Cleveland is a symbol of an America in steep decline. Emptied out factories, some areas so crippled by poverty they look like third world countries. The businesses have been abandoned. Graffiti covers almost every block and most people know to stay away from these neighborhoods. My daughter was commissioned to paint a mural on the side of an abandoned building near a vacant lot in a lower middle class neighborhood in Cleveland. To dress it up a little. Here is a video and a photo of her mural. Is that your mural? 80ft tall?

B
Wow.
- [02:23]
A
Pretty cool. You must be so proud of this.
- [02:28]
B
Very.
- [02:29]
A
How long did it take? About four days, which is really short time for a mural. Very unusual, but. But we have this VR projection that we can put under the wall for the initial stages, which makes it way quicker than having to do everything freehand. Was it scary to be up on the scaffolding? Yeah, I mean 80ft, it's, it's tall, it was wobbly. It is cities like Cleveland that Trump was elected to help fix. And it is why bringing in millions from poverty ridden countries only means these Americans are pushed to the back of the line. His methods might be crude and in some cases reckless, but his intentions have always been the same. Not just to make America great again, but to make America safe again. The Democrats can't keep America safe because they've become disconnected from real life and exist inside a self perpetuating feedback loop that tells Them only what they want to hear. They can't keep us safe on the streets. They can't keep businesses safe. They can't keep us safe on the roads. They can't keep families safe in cities ruled by gang warfare. They can't keep women safe from violent attacks by random lunatics who should not even be roaming the streets at all. They can't keep women and girls safe and locker rooms. They can't keep children safe in classrooms where they insist upon rewriting America's history and foisting an ideological cult upon the young so that they too grow up believing they can change their gender. If the color of their skin makes them bad people, they can't keep those strung out on fentanyl safe either. The hundreds of thousands of overdoses every year. If anything, the Democrats are fighting to protect the rights of the drug cartels like they fight to protect the rights of illegal immigrants and like they fight to protect the rights of criminals. Here is Andrew Schultz with Charlemagne Tha. God.

C
It's just funny to me that, like, there are people that were happy Charlie Kirk got shot because they disagreed on opinions and they're fighting for due process for people who are driving fentanyl into the country. What the do we live in?
- [04:53]
B
But why?
- [04:53]
C
Why do we have more humanity for people who are actually profiting. Killing Americans.
- [04:59]
D
But you shouldn't be like those people. Don't come.
- [05:02]
C
What you. What do I gotta do?
- [05:03]
D
Don't become what you hate.
- [05:04]
C
What do you mean?
- [05:05]
E
You're Christian.
- [05:06]
C
I hate people trying to kill Americans. You hate people try to kill. So if you try to kill Charlie Kirk or if you're trying to bring fentanyl in here. I hate both of y'.
- [05:15]
B
All.
- [05:16]
A
The Democrats exist in a protective bubble. They never hear or see the stories that come in brief flashes. A woman was punched on the subway. A man was carjacked with his toddler watching. A store was robbed, and a family was shot at a fast food restaurant. Protesters beat someone up for wearing a MAGA hat. And a woman is kicked out of a gym for accurately calling attention to a naked man in the locker room. They can't really address any of these problems, so they shapeshift their message to see what works. Once they win, they can't deliver. Trump is trying to deliver, and all they're doing is trying to stop him. Democrats rising. Tyler Robinson has never looked better. He was smiling as he strode into the courthouse on trial for the murder of Charlie Kirk. And why wouldn't he be smiling? He knows he's a hero on the left, and he knows that a loud faction of the right is defending him by blaming, wait for it, Israel. Amanda Seyfried has refused to apologize for saying Charlie Kirk was hateful, even if her words echo Robinson's, who said that Charlie deserved to be killed because he spread too much hate. End quote. A tweet from Jared Gilman it sucks that apparently it's still controversial to say that Charlie Kirk was a hateful person, because he so obviously was. If you don't think he was a hateful person, you probably are one too. Seyfried, who has a major movie coming out in a couple of weeks, will be celebrated for her comments and will likely earn an Oscar nomination for a different role in which she plays the presumed second coming of Christ in the Shaker movement. Oh, the irony. The Kirk assassination should have rocked America to its core, as previous political assassinations have. Maybe it would have shaken us all awake so that we could ask how did we ever get here? But if the Trump near assassination didn't do it, if so many of the Real Housewives of the Democratic Party celebrated with cold glasses of Chardonnay and an Instagram post, nothing would the Democrats have the wind at their backs. With major wins in elections all over the country, including the first Democrat to win in Miami in almost 30 years, they believe they have the messaging right and are hitting on affordability, health care and a living wage. So by the looks of it now, nothing can stop them from taking the House in 2026 and the presidency in 2028. They haven't changed a thing. They haven't tacked to the center. They haven't confronted gender affirming care. In fact, they're openly bragging about supporting it. At least if the performative meme factory of frontrunner Gavin the Great White Male hope for the Democrats in 2028 is any indication. Podcast listeners, a tweet from Governor Gavin Newsom's press office I want to see trans kids. Here is Ben Shapiro.
- [08:24]
F
Well, now Gavin Newsom, believing that he is the front runner for the 2028 Democratic nomination, is being asked questions by members of the Democratic base. And so he did a podcast with Ezra Klein of the New York Times in which he was asked about his take on trans politics. And now that Newsom believes that he has to win primaries in the Democratic Party, as he Prepares for that 2028 run, he will be forced to answer questions about things like where is he on transgenderism, particularly with regard to minors. So he ended up swiveling back into what is in Fact, a losing strategy for Democrats. Here was the California governor president proclaiming that he wants to see more trans kids.
- [09:05]
D
Contradictions. Bring it on. Contradictions. But that I think I can explain. Perhaps evolutions. We didn't get into transports. That's an issue no one wants to hear about, because 80% of the people listening disagree with my position on this. But I. But it comes from my heart, not just my head. It wasn't a political evolution. It was position being that I. I don't think it's. I. I want to see trans kids. I have a trans godson. I'm not. There's no governor that signed more pro trans legislation than. And no one has been a stronger advocate for the LGBTQ minority. But you have to accommodate the reality of those whose rights are being taken away as we advance the rights of the trans community in terms of the fairness of athletic competition. And I just think that's not a bigoted position. And it's an example of some of the things I've been saying about being judgmental, dismissing people, throwing that person out of the party. I mean, you want to talk, cancel culture. I've lived it on that issue alone, despite a record of 30 years, and people are willing to say I'm done. Friendships I lost on that position. And that position, by the way, came to me two years prior, where I had to come and try to accommodate for a trans athlete and another athlete that were in the state finals in track and figure field, and they both dropped out because we couldn't figure out a way to make it fair. And it was so unfair to both their families. Broke my heart.
- [10:27]
F
Okay, so that is Gavin Newsom trying to have every side of every issue. But the key there is that he says he wants to see trans kids. Okay? The normie position is that there is no such thing as a trans kid. There are kids who may have gender dysphoria. That is a different thing. There is no such thing as a kid who is a boy in a girl's body or upon whom we should be performing hormonal therapies and surgeries that are utterly unscientific and permanently damaging to the human body. So when Gavin Newsom says, I want to see trans kids, there's no governor that's done more pro trans legislation than I have. When he says that sort of stuff, that creates a real awkwardness for the Democratic Party.
- [11:05]
A
To them, opposing trans kids is hate. And that is what got Charlie Kirk killed. Except that his death was like lifting a fallen tree in the forest. All of the creepy crawlies came out a tweet from Lucifer Charlie Kirk's addiction to racism and hatred is what killed him. And from Buffy's All Trump supporters are ugly. And from Must Die. This lady milking the death of her lame ass husband for cash is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. And a tweet quoting Erica Kirk. Charlie would walk through the door, drop his bag, say, daddy's home, take his phone Friday night, say Shabbat shalom, throw it in the junk drawer, and it was just all us. And that's what I always wanted to make so special for him was coming home. And a picture from Secular Talk with all the people from Fox News holding a book called Grift by Erica Kirk. It isn't just the left. Some on the right are making a play for the giant hole Charlie left behind. I don't care about the midterms, says Candace Owens. I hate the Republican Party, says Tucker Carlson. Marjorie Taylor Greene is enjoying her 15 minutes of fame by being a useful idiot for the left, telling CNN in 60 minutes everything they want to hear. MAGA is tearing itself apart. Here is Mark Halperin with Larry o' Connor and a Democrat on two way.
- [12:31]
G
Erica Kirk was on Fox yesterday, did a very Weiss interview. There's so much MAGA on MAGA criticism now. Tucker's at war with everybody and there's accusations of personal accusations. The whole thing is a mess. But one of the most intense ones involves Candace Owens and she has been on just this, this, this rampage since Charlie was killed with various conspiracy theories. And a lot of people in Charlie's world's attitude was we're not going to take her on directly. She's way too combustible. We'll just ignore it and her audience will hear it, but it won't go wider. But they've decided as a group next week they're going to do a whole episode of Charlie's show debunking all these accusations she's made, these crazy conspiracy theories that have have no substance. And in the view of Team Charlie, this is all just an attempt to get ratings and her anger over having been pushed away from Turning Point yesterday, Erica, in an interview did not name Candace Owens, but everybody knows that's who she's talking about. Here she is on Fox yesterday.
- [13:34]
H
Come after me, call me names, I don't care. Call me what you want, go down that rabbit hole, whatever. But when you go after my family, my Turning Point, USA family, my Charlie Kirk show family, when you go after the People that I love. And you're making hundreds and thousands of dollars every single episode, going after the people that I love because somehow they're in on this. No.
- [14:03]
A
You know, I have to say it. I've never seen you like this.
- [14:06]
H
No, I'm. I'm very. This is righteous anger. Because this is not okay. It's not healthy. This is a mind virus. Yes, I believe in our judicial system. I do. We have a hell of a team working on this. Excuse my French, but this is not okay.
- [14:27]
G
Kevin, is this going to escalate? In other words, is there going to be a bigger, broader public fight with Candace Owens? It might have some implications for her standing or. This is as hot as it's going to get. Larry, is this good for Candace's business model to have this fight?
- [14:45]
E
I mean. I suppose so. You know, there are certain media personalities, I think you'd agree, Mark, that do better within the confines of a more strict broadcast guidance from either corporation or from the FCC or what have you. And she's in the wild, wild west now. And, yeah, I mean, she lives and dies by each episode's downloads. And this kind of thing, there's always an audience for it. So sure she's going to profit from it. I suppose. It's just sad. It's lamentable. I thought Erica Kerr came across brilliantly. It reminds me, frankly, when my mentor and friend Andrew Breitbart died suddenly at a young age. Not assassinated, but the conspiracy theories began immediately that he had been murdered and by the Obama administration, targeted by the CIA. It's still out there, in fact, me saying this right now. I promise you, in the comments section, or I'll get hit on Twitter by saying that, yes, Andrew Breitbart was murdered. And I remember Susie and his children. His oldest, Samson, was 12, same age as my oldest at the time. It was devastating for them. Imagine what it's like when you're a kid and you and you see things on the Internet that your father was murdered by the President. It's awful, and it breaks my heart. And Candace should go to hell.
- [15:53]
B
Yeah.
- [15:54]
G
All right.
- [15:56]

What separated Charlie Kirk from the parasitic vultures who have flown in to peck at the corpse is that he wasn't in it just for clicks and views or for money. He was in it because he believed in it. And he was dedicated to helping defeat the left to save this country, especially its youth. Without him, however, the Democrats can use their powerful media machine to manipulate the message, even to deflect from their own craziness long enough to fool the public into trusting them before they once again demand that all must comply or else. That's our potential future if the right can't get it together to mount a proper offense. The problem for the Democrats is that the mass delusions they push onto the American public have almost no practical application in the real America, the one I've just seen as I've driven across the country. What I saw was an America that needs politicians not just for affordability, but to keep things running. Buses, grocery stores, schools, and most especially to keep them and their neighborhoods safe. Something the Democrats can't and won't do. A tweet from Scary if you're a Trump voter having trouble making ends meet, I have no sympathy for you. You decided racism, misogyny and owning the libs are more important than competent leadership, so you voted for a convicted felon whose surprise effed you over. Trump telling working class Americans to buy fewer dolls this Christmas is the kind of thing that can sink a presidency and a legacy. True, he isn't running for re election, but it's the kind of thing that will stick. The truth matters less than the perception, and for now the Democrats control the media and thus the message. To defeat the Democrats, Trump and MAGA will have to find a way to tell Americans to buy as many dolls as they want because now they can afford them. Sticks and stones. The greatest crime imaginable to the good people of the left is a bad word. I was there when we began curating our soft language. Make the words inoffensive and the problems will be solved. There is no homelessness. There are unhoused people. There are no drug addicts, but mentally ill people. We don't give away our pets, we rehome them. It isn't catastrophic. Life altering medications and surgeries that sterilize children and wreck their bodies for life. It's gender affirming care. So of course Trump would be their biggest enemy. He got famous for saying anything, even if especially if, it was shocking. The left knows this and yet they can't help themselves. It's dangerous because bad words are dangerous in a woketopia ruled by soft language. Here is cnn. Why do you blame the Biden administration for what this man did?
- [19:02]
D
Are you stupid? Are you a stupid person? Because they came into on a plane along with thousands of other people that shouldn't be here and you're just asking questions because you're a stupid person?
- [19:13]

President Trump has increased his attacks against female journalists in recent weeks, calling them everything from stupid to ugly to piggy and that matters because press freedom groups would tell you that this has become an unmistakable pattern of hostility during the President's second term. Just last week, he went after ABC News's chief White House correspondent.
- [19:31]
H
Mr. President, why wait for Congress to release the Epstein files?
- [19:34]
A
Why not just do it now?
- [19:35]
D
Well, it's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude. I think you are a terrible reporter.
- [19:41]
I
Then, days earlier, he went after a Bloomberg News reporter, telling her to quiet, piggy, in response to a question about the Epstein files. The bottom line is that press freedom experts say that this type of rhetoric contributes to the global decline in press freedoms because it creates an environment of intimidation, especially for female journalists.
- [20:05]

They exist in an ecosystem that turns the story of a Cinnabon employee caught on tape using the N word into the biggest scandal of the week. That convinces them that every terrible thing they've said and done for 10 years has been justified. This country is infested, they believe, with racists, and they plan to do something about it once they take back power. How will they do that? By mandating thought and speech, just as they did last time. The Internet gives them that kind of control to decide who gets to stay and who has to go. They won't only use it, they'll expand on it. But words are nothing compared to a bullet in the neck, a punch in the face, or a knife across the throat. A tweet from Elon Musk, murder is much worse than words. And from a tweet by the Rabbit Hole. The issue with leftist is that they lose more sleep when someone says the N word than when innocent people are killed for no reason. But even if the victims are not white, crime remains an elusive concept for them because crime presents as systemically racist. Police or mass incarceration or something. Trump and MAGA did. They especially ignore crimes by illegal immigrants. A tweet from Matt Von Swall, the man stabbed in the chest by an illegal alien on the train in Charlotte, North Carolina. Kenyon Dobie is in critical condition with a tube in his chest pumping blood out of his lungs. According to authorities, Dobie was the only person who stood up and told the drunk illegal to stop screaming at riders, including an elderly woman on the train. For his efforts. He was knifed in the chest. I guess it's better off that it happened to me and not an older person, he said. I wasn't trying to be a macho man, but what I won't allow is you to attack random people for no reason, especially the elderly. End quote. Cleveland and other cities like it have been ravaged by crime and drugs. Trump's answer was to send in the National Guard troops to protect ICE agents and clean up the cities. Then he began bombing the cartel boats, bringing drugs to the United States. Everything he does is to keep America safe. And yet, to the Democrats, that's criminal activity. So the citizens languish, overdose, and die. And the only person to ever do anything about it is the guy they still want to impeach, destroy, or even kill.

That is what's going on in Eureka these days. My buddy up here shot this not too long ago. Another homeless lady that he had to run off his property. Happens all the time. He told me. Eureka, California, is in a bad, bad place right now. And that's why I'm here, to show you the first few years of business.

Nick and Kim here from way up on the Northern California coast. Now, for years, people have been writing me emails. Nick, you need to come up to Eureka. It's the kind of place your audience would love. We're troubled, too, so here we are. Now, what's going on here? Could a place as wonderful and unique and beautiful as Eureka, tucked away up in a little pocket of California, it also have gone to crap? Well, we're gonna find out right now, and I'm gonna start right here in downtown, because I can see it all around me.

Of thee I sing I have just spent the past few weeks driving across this big, beautiful, complicated country. And I've never seen a greater disconnect between the traumas foisted upon Americans by the Democrats and the reality of life on the ground. In real life, we can still see each other as fellow Americans. The guy in the elevator can pet my dog and talk to me about how much he misses his dog who died last year. There are no identifiers that pit us against each other. Unless someone is wearing a MAGA hat or a no Kings T shirt. But that is not true. Online, we are tracked and traced. Our likes and our friends are used to put us in a specific category. And America, ruled by the left, will take that one step further. All the way to 1984, where those allowed in are only those who love Big Brother. During the last Civil War, one of the greatest concerns was holding the Union together. It mattered that America survived. Here's hoping we honor their sacrifice, find a better way forward for all of us. And yes, hold on to the dream. Thank you for listening to my podcast sashastone.com I'm sorry for the noise in the background. I'm in a very noisy hotel room with a Highway I40 right outside. I hope you have a great weekend. And if you like my work, you can always leave a tip. The link is on the main page or write a review or consider becoming a paid subscriber. I just have one more drive and then I'm home. Home sweet home. It's been a great trip. I hope you're doing well. And remember to thine own self be true.
