Usa. Chance. This is so, so cool. And then I saw this too, in la. This, I'm sure this pissed off the liberals in la, but this banner was being flown behind a plane and it said, thank you, Trump. Love Iranian Americans. And this was being flown around in la. Thank you, Trump. Heart from Iranian people. And you just know that this pissed off people down below the, down on the land. They were thinking, oh man, oh man, not Trump. We're not thinking Trump, are we? All the libtards, right? But it's no shock really, as to why American liberal women are so in denial. Their preferred media platforms affirm their view that, yes, you are oppressed. Donald Trump is a dictator. Anything that Trump does needs to be protested, resisted, and of course, most importantly, post about it on Instagram. Here's the New York Times headline yesterday, ayatollah Ali Hamani, hardline cleric who made Iran a regional power, is dead at 86. So when someone dies, they're a disgusting, deranged, demonic dictator, evil dictator. You, you, you, you category. You characterize them as a hard line cleric. Like, that's too nice for me. That's too nice. In my opinion, someone who made Iran a regional power, like this reads, this headline to me reads as an obituary for someone's grandma. Like, it's just so matter of fact. Like, he wasn't the most disgusting dictator. I just don't understand how you can sleep at night. They call President Trump worse names. They'll call Trump a dictator, a fascist. They'll call Trump an authoritarian. They'll call the Trump administration an evil regime, oppressive regime. And then when they cover an actual oppressive regime, it's just like the nicest words that they could find. They just stick to the facts. They stick to the facts with a dictator. They don't stick to the facts with President Trump. And this is nothing new. You remember the Washington Post, how they covered this austere religious scholar? This was Al Baghdadi when he died under Trump's first term. They had to change their headline. The first one, the original one was Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, Austere Religious Scholar at helm of Islamic state dies at 48. Then they had to change the headline to Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, Extremist Leader of Islamic state dies at 48. Of course, it's the austere religious scholar. And then they got kickback and, and flat flack for, for calling him such nice names. And then they had to come and tell the truth and say, oh, well, well, he was actually an extremist leader. That's how I feel about the New York Times headline, Hardline Cleric, you know, brought Iran to this, this state that. It was like, what side are you on? It's not only un American, it is blatantly false. It's being a contrarian for the sake of doing the opposite of what Trump wants to do. Right? And then I saw this video from Reuters, which I just thought was wild. Like, the headline that they put on this video is wild Iranians Mourn the Death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who was killed in U.S. israel, airstrikes. So they, of course, they find the women crying. But then you see the Iranian flags. We are going to rip them apart, hold these people accountable. We're going to rip them apart. They're being out of line. Martyrdom is our honor. It's our right and our leaders unquestionable rights to be martyred. But they're being out of line. So they found a few women crying, Waving flags and mourning. I mean, I. I guess it's possible, but most of the videos that I've seen are celebrations of the Supreme Leader's death. And I don't mean a celebration of life, I mean a celebration of his death. Do some people in Iran support him? I'm sure they do. I don't doubt that. But you can count on the American media to only tell that side of the story. Not both sides, not the truthful side, but the side that puts them opposite Trump. When the media tells you who they are, believe them. When the Democrats tell you who they are, believe them. Because this local CBS News affiliate apparently didn't want this reporter to touch on the pro Trump nature of the protests and rallies happening around him. But. But he decided to do so anyway. Watch. They don't want us to focus on this. Well, I am. That's his response to getting a text message from seemingly some higher up. Well, I am. They don't want me to run with this, but I am. This means he has good editorial judgment. He is boots on the ground. He sees a story, he's running with it. He has good instincts. There may be, you know, some higher up at the network, some news director or something sitting at home looking at his social media, maybe a more macro view what's going on, and likely biased thinking. Well, this isn't an angle that we really want to focus on. And just because it doesn't fit the narrative that the network wanted to go in doesn't mean that this isn't the story. And the reporters seem to put his best judgment before that of his superior, who clearly didn't make the right decision. But the US Is killing of the Iranian Supreme Leader may have inspired an attack here at home in Austin, which I'm going to get to right after this break. I want to tell you about Helix Sleep.

Helix sleep.com h a y l e Y well, in the early hours of the morning on Sunday, shots rang out on 6th street in Austin, Texas's entertainment district. Lots of UT students were out on a Saturday night, looking forward to spring break, enjoying their friend's company. Then a crazed lunatic decided to open fire on a popular beer garden. He started firing from his vehicle, then continued shooting into the open beer garden while getting out of his car. Thankfully, police officers were able to kill the shooter within minutes, but not before he killed two others and injured 14 people. And I was reading a report from a local newspaper and they interviewed one of the victims who is lucky to survive a bullet grazing his head. And he said he's never going to the 6th street bars ever again. And that really hit me because I can't imagine the trauma of going through something like this. You're in college, you're out with your friends, the next minute there are bullets flying at you. He talked about grabbing his friends, pulling them down to the ground with him and realizing, oh, we're fighting for our lives right now. And it happens within seconds. And he said, I pulled my friends down to the ground, and all of a sudden I saw blood pooling on the ground around me. And he's like, it took me a few seconds to even realize that I had been hit. And it was my blood. He was like, I'd never seen, seen that much of my own blood before. And he said, it's, it's shocking to see your own blood pooling around you. He had never seen anything like that before. And that is so traumatic. He's, he's a college student. He's like, yeah, I'm never going to go to the bars again. And it's just, it was a perspective that I'd never seen before or heard before. And the lasting impact that this is going to have on these kids is just so great. And the news cycle, I talk about this all the time on the show, how fast the news cycle goes. And, you know, we Forget all of these things that we're outraged about. You know, weeks later, months later, years later, we forget all of these stories. And for these people, they just don't move on from it. This is their life. And, you know, some people will see this situation and they'll argue, well, this is why we can't have these kinds of weapons. They can kill so many people so fast. And I see this situation and think, the more cops, the better. The more good guys with guns, the better, because you can't root out all evil. You just have to be better equipped to stop it. And that's why bans don't work, restrictions don't work. Criminals don't care about laws. It's already illegal to shoot up a bar. It's already illegal to shoot at a school or a concert or a place of worship. That's already illegal. So if you think that guns were. Were banned and the government went through some sort of a buyback program that criminals would be lining up to comply, give me a break. And the evil people that give that carry out these kinds of attacks, certainly they don't care. They don't care about human life. So if they don't care about human life, they certainly don't care about the rules and regulations that are in place to protect them. And this specific shooter wore this to carry out this atrocity. A sweatshirt that says Property of Allah. Great. So now we start wondering and start asking the questions. Who is this guy? What was his motive? And not only did his sweatshirt say Property of Allah, he had a shirt underneath that had an Iranian flag. So the FBI is investigating a nexus to terrorism. The FBI, Acting Special Agent in Charge Alex Duran said that the FBI was on site doing digital forensics, and they are examining indicators that connected this suspect to potential terrorism. They. He said this quote, Obviously, it's still way too early in the process to determine an exact motivation, but there were indicators that on the subject and in his vehicle indicate potential nexus to terrorism. So who is this guy? Where was he radicalized? Why was he driven to do this? And did it have anything to do with the Ayatollah being taken out? Well, it turns out that no shocker here. The shooter is emotionally disturbed, as are all mass shooters, obviously. And he has a history of arrests. Yep. So this is a career criminal. He has been arrested in New York City and in Texas multiple times. And, no, he wasn't born here. He was living in New York City. And he came to New York City in 2000 from Senegal. So he wasted no times committing Crimes. Within the first year that he was living in New York, he was arrested. Then he was arrested multiple times between two 2001 and 2016. So I just want to go through this timeline because it's off. It doesn't make sense. He got to the United States in 2000, and reports are saying that he became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2013. So 13 years later, he becomes a U.S. citizen. Then I read that sources say he filed for asylum in 2016. How does that make any sense? Why would you need to file for asylum if you're already a naturalized U.S. citizen? You're no longer eligible or in need of asylum. Asylum from what? You're already an American citizen. So that makes no sense. I don't know if he was maybe doing that because. No, I don't even know. I was thinking maybe because he had some criminal convictions, maybe, or he was being arrested, maybe this would give him some layer of protection in a sanctuary state. Maybe. I don't know. But there's no reason to seek asylum if you're already a citizen. That, again, that does not track with me. And I wrestle with this. There are a few issues that I wrestle with, and I'm always honest with you about where I stand, because sometimes I just don't know. And that's okay, because I'm wrestling with this now, this issue of immigration. Because I always say that, come here the right way. I'm pro legal immigration, anti illegal immigration. Pretty simple, right? And even though this guy was technically naturalized, eventually I would put him in the illegal immigrant category. If you come here and you fly under the radar for decades and you don't get your papers and you're committing crimes and then you become naturalized 13 years later, that is not the kind of immigration I'm supporting. So maybe I should be more distinct when I say, yeah, I'm just pro legal immigration. Because there has to be a better way to vet these people. In my opinion, the faster you can become a citizen, the better. But that doesn't mean bypass the vetting process. The vetting process has to be solid, rock solid and fast. But you can't compromise the vetting process. You can't let these people slip through the cracks. You need to demonstrate a will to integrate into American society and to become a citizen. Not just sit on your ass, take this country for granted and be a career criminal, and then go through paperwork or fly under the radar long enough. There needs to be a balance where I respect your right to practice your religion. But then again, if your religion is diametrically opposed to American culture. Then what? So this is where I'm struggling now because I think our founding fathers were brilliant, but I don't think they knew what other religions were capable of. I don't think they thought that people could become so radicalized that their religion became more of a death cult than a faith. Because I'm not so sure now. I don't think we're talking about religion now. And people are now excusing death cults under freedom of religion. And it's frustrating because I love this country so much. I love the Constitution. The Constitution is supposed to protect the country and our ideals. But the freedom of religion, you know, 200 plus years later might be the death of us. How can we respect the religion of people who want to kill us? Because clearly this guy hates America. And even though he lived here for 13 years, he still hated America. That's deep down, that's who he is. That's based on his religion. They tell people, death to America. They grow up with that mentality. So then I question even why did he come here in the first place? And I think a lot of illegal immigrants, they, they come here just because it's better than where they're coming from, obviously. But they don't care about our ideals or upholding them. They don't care about anything we do. So is there a way to figure this out before we let these people come into our country and become citizens? Because there's a difference between being an American citizen who voices their distrust and their hatred of the government protected by the first Amendment and then an immigrant who has the opportunity of a lifetime to live in the greatest country in the world. And, and they hate it so much or they're so loyal to their home country or their religion that they don't have a vested interest in their own success or the success of the nation. They put themselves first. They don't want to become a part of this fabric. They want to remain dedicated to this radical Islam while living in the greatest country on earth. And we are the greatest country on earth because we aren't ruled by Sharia law and radical Islam. So we need to vet these people and not let them in just because they want entry. Wanting entry isn't good enough. That's why I'm sick of the bleeding heart liberals whining about asylum seekers. You should be so lucky to seek asylum here. It is a privilege, not a God given right to live here. And we need to start being a little pickier when it comes to those we give that privilege to. And we certainly need to undo the atrocities of the administration's past who have put all of us at risk with open border policies. And speaking of the American citizens making their voices heard. And listen, I defend free speech vehemently. You are allowed to hate your government. You sound stupid and entitled when you live in the greatest country on earth, but you're allowed to look stupid, you're allowed to hate it, you're allowed to criticize it. And even I criticize the American government. What is particularly horrifying, though, are American college students at Columbia University siding with the state sponsor of terrorism, the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world, Iran, in the wake of the Ayatollah's death, even worse, pro Palestinian groups that are prevalent on campus posted on X death to America, and the post was removed from X, but the group has doubled down, they've posted about it, about it again. And this is all because Israel was involved. And a lot of these college students, liberal college students these days, they. They hate America and they hate Israel. So they look stupid to be studying at an Ivy League university in. Once again, I can't state this enough. The greatest country on earth and to be calling for its demise, it is so disheartening. And I have to wonder how we got here. It didn't happen overnight. Have some of these students been radicalized online recently? Is this simply just anti Trump stupidity or is it more sinister? And I think that it is more sinister. And they're wrapping up these stupid sheep in their process. And I hope that these students are just being naive and they'll wake up one day and realize that they were being stupid, cheap. But I wonder if this is the work of one of our foreign adversaries and they've been planting seeds on our soil for years, sowing division, creating tension, and using young people as useful idiots to help take us down from within. And with this shooter, you know, the FBI is working on this link to terrorism based on what he was wearing and also what they had found in his car, which I don't know what that is. But I worry about sleeper cells and I worry deeply about the future of our nation, because there isn't just one, right? I mean, this guy in Austin, Texas, how many more are like him? And how many were let in under the Biden administration alone, where tens of millions of illegal aliens were let in? Are they all just good people who want to work hard and make a better living for themselves and for their families? Odds are that's not true. I'm Sure a lot of them are. I'm sure a lot of them want to come here for a better life because they will have a better life here. But how many of those tens of millions have good intentions and how many don't? And I just really worry that this one might set off a chain reaction, especially now in the response to what happened to Iran's supreme leader. Like if these college students are so beholden to Palestine and they are so deeply moved by Iran, which makes absolutely no sense and everything that they stand for is a double standard. Like how can you possibly be learning on a Ivy League campus? And there are women on this Ivy League campus that don't have to cover their hair. They get to drive. They are not killed and raped for doing things that we are very lucky to do here. Like how can you, how can you make sense of that? You can't. But they do because they just, they don't. They ignore, they have to ignore the truth to support their viewpoints. And it just, it makes me sick to think about, makes me absolutely sick to think about. Then in Austin also. And this just goes into my absolute hatred for self driving cars. And I hate Waymo. And to make matters worse, again, 14 people were injured, two were killed. Aside from the shooter himself, a Waymo was blocking traffic. There are emergency vehicles attempting to get to people that desperately need help. Like I said, I'm painting the picture for you. There are college students bleeding out on the ground and this Waymo is in the middle of the street. Watch. So you see the red and blue lights, you see the ambulance trying to get through and the Waymo is just. Cat's got its tongue. I don't know, it's just in the middle of the street moving slowly out of the way. And again, I don't know if there are people in this car, but at what point does the emergency vehicle have the right to just mow it down?
