---

1. Opening Banter & Setting the Tone

Timestamp: 02:50–03:17

• Alex welcomes listeners to the show with his trademark satirical bravado, referencing “real guitars” and “Real America’s Voice.”
• Lila Hart, comedian and longtime guest/friend, is introduced. Alex jokes about his own dynamite personality and segues into the episode’s main controversies.

---

2. The Controversy: Tucker Carlson Under CIA Investigation

Timestamp: 03:20–07:41

Key Discussion Points:

• Tucker Carlson’s Alleged Foreign Agent Charge: Alex highlights the news that Tucker is under CIA investigation for allegedly sharing information with Iran, possibly violating the Foreign Agent Act.
• Alex humorously decries rumors of Qatari money:
  “I am not getting paid by Qatar... I don’t love Sharia law... That does not mean I am being paid by the Saudis or by the Qataris. That’s absolutely ludicrous.” (Alex Stein, 04:13)

Notable Quote (Tucker Carlson, recorded clip):

“A crime report to the Dept. of Justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed. What’s that crime? Well, talking to people in Iran before the war. … I have only one loyalty, and that’s the United States.” (Tucker Carlson, 04:48–06:05)

Analysis:

• Alex and Lila agree the charges are politically motivated and that journalists should communicate with diverse sources.
• They compare the scrutiny on Tucker to the lack of accountability for figures on the Epstein list—“it is a possibility Tucker Carlson will get arrested before anybody on the Epstein list. And that makes me sick as an American.” (Alex Stein, 06:05)

Notable Lila Quote:

“He should be talking to people. That’s his whole job. And it is insane they’re even investigating Tucker in this way... I think this is a big distraction for something else.” (Lila Hart, 07:41)

---

3. War in Iran, Trump’s Role, and Political Dynamics

Timestamp: 08:01–13:34

Key Discussion Points:

• Alex criticizes conservative figures (Trump, Shapiro, Levin) for shifting allegiances and the changing shape of the MAGA movement.
• He voices anti-war sentiments, listing the cost in American lives and criticizing asymmetrical warfare with Iran.
• Alex speculates about greater Iranian motivation for terrorism given escalations, and the possibility of solving Russia/Iran/Ukraine conflicts diplomatically.

Notable Quotes:

“We are fighting an asymmetrical war. … I would rather negotiate with these people and have inspectors and inspect their nuclear facilities than us go and start a war where now a school got bombed with a bunch of kids.” (Alex Stein, 10:21)

“I want zero bombs dropped on any humans, on any kids. And I feel bad for all the stray cats in Iran that got killed, and I feel bad for the cats in Tel Aviv that are getting killed.” (Alex Stein, 13:14)

• Lila: “That’s awful. But I’m with you … I’m totally against the war. … Lives are being lost on both sides. All of it’s bad.” (Lila Hart, 09:33)

Bit of comedic aside about Lila’s Filipino heritage and eating pets ends the segment.

4. Interview: Rick Heidner, Illinois Gubernatorial Candidate

Timestamp: 18:13–30:11

Key Discussion Points:

• Rick Heidner shares his background: once poor, now wealthy, and why he’s running for governor.
• Criticizes incumbent Gov. JB Pritzker for “sanctuary state” policies, revolving-door justice system, and proposing a “weight limit” for governors as a joke.
• Discusses creating opportunities for disadvantaged groups, improving business climate, and retaining the Chicago Bears in Illinois.
• Discusses the city’s gun violence and failure of downtown safety.
• Talks immigration: wants a path for long-term residents but not “amnesty,” criticizes Illinois’ lack of ICE cooperation.

Notable Quotes:

“If I have one compliment for the guy... he really has lost a lot of weight... I think he thinks it’s a beauty contest.” (Rick Heidner, 20:23)

“If you don’t want to have to put up bail... just don’t commit a crime. It’s pretty damn simple.” (Rick Heidner, 25:19)

“I want for you to be able to walk down the street, and I want you to be safe. The women are the least safe, and I want all girls, women, mothers, sisters—I want them to be safe.” (Rick Heidner, 28:47)

Memorable Moment:

• Alex campaigns for amnesty for “Big Booty Latinas,” in his satirical fashion, asking Rick’s stance. Rick responds diplomatically, emphasizing the need for a humane path for long-time residents.

• Rick’s message for voters: “I promise you, everything that I say I’m going to do, I’m going to do. … Term limits is a big deal too. Two terms for a governor is the first thing that I’m going to tell all legislators that I want.” (Rick Heidner, 30:11)

---

5. Media and Free Speech: ADL, Israel, & Antisemitism

Timestamp: 31:10–39:40

Key Discussion Points:

• Alex plays a controversial Jonathan Greenblatt (ADL) clip advocating “creative tactics” (citing historic IDF operations) for combating anti-Israel speech.

  • Alex reacts: “That seems a little shocking that he wants ... a subversive bombing campaign to, I guess, 86 people that are sharing anti-Semitic memes online.” (Alex Stein, 34:03)
  • Lila: “You could get blown up for saying the wrong thing is ludicrous.” (Lila Hart, 35:05)

• Plays Bret Stephens clip suggesting higher education correlates with increased antisemitism; Alex and Lila find the implication curious and odd.

• Mark Levin and the “victimhood” dynamic—Alex criticizes his attacks on fellow conservatives and his alliance with Trump despite past Never Trump status.

Notable Quote:

“So it’s people like Mark Levin that constantly want to play the victim, that actually inadvertently creates more anti-Semitism because he’s so unlikable.” (Alex Stein, 39:32)

• Alex reads Trump’s effusive “love letter” to Mark Levin:
  “… Mark Levin only cares and wants one thing, greatness and success for America….” (Read by Alex Stein, 38:24)

---

6. Satirical City Council Calls & Political Absurdity

Timestamp: 42:03–47:40

Key Discussion Points:

• Alex shares his signature mocking appearances (via phone/Zoom) at New York City council meetings, lampooning topics from food truck regulations—writing a “poem” for Councilman Mamdani—to racially and religiously absurd budget comments.
• Both he and Lila riff on staying “on topic,” with Alex closing the sequence by calling New York “insane right now.”

Memorable Moments:

• “Mom Donny, you are a brown king, walking around with your anti-semi swing…” (Alex, city council poem, 44:00)
• “Stay on topic. Stay on topic.” (Lila Hart, 47:40)

---

7. War, Draft Rumors & American “Wolverines”

Timestamp: 47:43–49:18

• Alex brings up potential draft fears sparked by ongoing conflict with Iran, jokes about American soldiers being tougher than their Iranian counterparts, and references viral internet “American Wolverine” memes.

“Our soldiers literally have blades coming out of their hands like wolverines. … If I was Iranian right now, I would be shaking in my boots.” (Alex Stein, 49:00)

---

8. Closing: Music, Merchants & Where to Find the Hosts

Timestamp: 49:20–52:03

• Promo for “Real America’s Music” single, “God, Grit, and Guns.”
• Endorsement for “Soldier Fuel” energy drink.
• Lila plugs her tour with Micro Maidens (micromaidens.com).
• Alex wraps up reiterating he’s not taking Qatari money, reinforcing his satirical, hyperbolic style.

Conclusion

In true "After Hours" fashion, Alex Stein blends satire, political commentary, conspiratorial introspection, and biting humor to dissect current controversies—from the Tucker Carlson investigation and dynamics within the MAGA movement, to criticism of American and Israeli policies, and the state of Illinois politics (with Rick Heidner). The episode is rich with memorable moments and quotables, blending comic relief and pointed political criticism in a highly irreverent, unfiltered style—true to the show’s tagline: “No filter. No apologies. Uncensored and uncontrolled.”

It's an incredible non profit empowering kids through music education.

[Alex Stein]

Thanks to Hyundai.

[Rick Heidner]

We recorded a special podcast episode while we were there. How do you think learning an instrument

[Alex Stein]

helps kids with confidence? Learning an instrument allows them to discover a little bit further of who they are and be comfortable with it and

[Public Ad/Announcer]

then share a little bit about that with others.

[Alex Stein]

And if it's done in an environment

[Public Ad/Announcer]

that is celebrating and championing them, then

[Alex Stein]

that confidence can only go up.

[Public Ad/Announcer]

Night just got dangerous. After Hours with your host, Alex Stein starts right now.

[Alex Stein]

Welcome to After Hours with Alex Stein on real guitars. I mean, real America's voice. The best channel on the dial. Now we got a great in studio guest. She's a friend of mine. I've known her for a long time. She's a brilliant comedian and. And she packs a punch just like dynamite. In a small package. You know what they say, the best things come in small packages. I'm talking about myself. But that, that's for another show. Let's welcome on the one and only Lila Hart. Lila, how are you doing?

[Lila Hart]

Great. Thank you so much for having me on your show today, Alex.

[Alex Stein]

Well, it's my pleasure, Lila. You know, you've been coming on my shows for a long time. It's always so great to talk with you. But we got to talk about the most pressing thing in the news and all over social media is that my biological stepfather, Tucker Carlson, is under investigation by the CIA for allegedly giving information to Iranians, the Iran government or the Iranian government, I guess you say Iranian to the Iranians. Regarding the current. What do you want to call it, skirmish that we're in. They call it a war. We call it a skirmish. But, you know, whatever. My point is this, Tucker Carlson. I don't know why people accuse us of being connected to Qatar at all. Like, we don't. I mean, there's nothing that connects us with Qatar. Lila.

[Lila Hart]

Alex.

[Alex Stein]

Yes, Lila?

[Lila Hart]

Why'd you try to make me wear a hijab when I walked in?

[Caller/Guest]

That was just because I thought it

[Alex Stein]

would look good on you. I thought it was fly. Okay, Lila, shut up, please. You're gonna listen. I am not getting paid by Qatar. I don't have any oil money. I don't. I don't. I don't love Sharia law. I like some aspects. The fact that women can't drive and, you know, the fact that you can have multiple wives, but that's. That's neither here nor there. That does not mean that I am being paid by the Saudis or by the Qataris. That's absolutely ludicrous. And the same goes for my biological stepfather, Tucker Carlson. So let's play this clip of him talking about how the CIA has been investigating his text messages.

[Tucker Carlson (clip)]

So the other day, I found out that the CIA is preparing some kind of criminal referral against me. A crime Report the Department of justice on the basis of a supposed crime I committed. What's that crime? Well, talking to people in Iran before the war, they read my texts. So the crime under consideration, apparently, would be the Foreign Agent act or something like that, acting as an agent of a foreign power. And I don't expect this to go anywhere. I'm not too worried about an actual criminal case against me for a bunch of reasons. One, I'm not an agent of a foreign power. Unlike a lot of people commenting on US Politics and global affairs, I have only one loyalty, and that's the United States, and have never acted against it. Its interests are the only interests I care about because I'm from here and I have a lot of kids. So that's not a concern. I've also never taken money from anybody. Don't need it, don't want it, and that's provable. And moreover, it's my job to talk to everybody all the time and try and figure out what's happening around the world. That's literally what I do for a living. And I'm not going to stop doing that, nor should I, I don't think. I'm also an American. I can talk to anybody. I have no secrets to divulge.

[Alex Stein]

Now, what's so ridiculous is that it is a possibility that Tucker Carlson is going to get arrested before anybody on the Epstein list. And that makes me sick as an American. And, you know, the fact that they're accusing him of being a paid foreign agent when all of the people that are accusing him all basically work for Israel, but that's neither here nor there. It doesn't even matter. You know, they all work for Israel, and they're all creating this new conspiracy. And this is the latest conspiracy, Lila. So Tucker has made multiple trips to the White House leading up to the Iran war. Now, what the Israel first crowd is saying is that Donald Trump knew that he was going to come there. And Donald Trump played Tucker by coming and letting him come to the White House and giving him false information that he could then relay to Iran so that they would not know that they were going to bomb us, which to me sounds absolutely retarded, because everybody was begging for us to bomb Iran. You had Mark Levin talking about it, Ben Shapiro. To me, it didn't seem like a huge secret they were going to start that war. As a matter of fact, it only felt, you know, a matter of when, not if. So I think that debunks that conspiracy right there. So, Lila, what do you think? Is it possible that Tucker is a foreign agent for Qatar. I mean, a guy that's a, you know, independently wealthy and multimillionaire wouldn't even need to take 5 cents from some sort of foreign country. And as a journalist, shouldn't we be talking to people in other countries? Especially people that are, you know, have different. Different viewpoints in us? I think that's the most important thing to do as a journalist is talk to people that disagree with us and not talk to the people that just agree with us. That's boring.

[Lila Hart]

Absolutely. And I think Tucker did the right thing by addressing his audience right away about what is currently going on with him. But he should be talking to people. That's his whole job. And it is insane that they are even investigating Tucker in this way when, you know, there's other things they should be investigating and looking into. I think this is a big distraction for something else.

[Alex Stein]

It is. And, you know, a lot of people are supporting the war in Iran. I've been openly against it because I thought Donald Trump was gonna do no new wars. And I love Donald Trump. I'm not even hating on Donald Trump, but I think people are twisting Donald Trump's arm. I think people are using blackmail potentially on Donald Trump, because it is crazy to me that people like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, Tucker Carlson, three people that campaigned and helped Donald Trump win, are now Donald Trump's biggest enemies. Not aoc, not, you know, Ro Khanna, not anybody on the. But he is going after people on the right, which I just don't understand, because these people, just a few months ago, not even a year ago, were some of your biggest supporters. And then you have guys like Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin who were Never Trumpers in 2016 and were DeSantis supporters and Nikki Haley supporters up until 2024, basically up until the lead up to that election. And now they are defining the MAGA movement. And if that's the case, if Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin are the leaders of the MAGA movement, and then I don't really know if I want to be a part of that movement, because those guys are frauds and phonies, and they care more about a foreign country than they care about America. So, I mean, I'm absolutely devastated to hear the news. I've talked to Tucker's producer. She says it is a little worrisome, but that Tucker is doing fine and that he's not actually afraid that he's going to go to jail, but he does feel like it's an invasion of his privacy. Because the people that he could have texted in Iran, they might be dead. So that's where they might have gotten the messages.

[Lila Hart]

Oh, wow.

[Alex Stein]

Yeah.

[Lila Hart]

Yeah.

[Alex Stein]

That's kind of heavy, isn't it?

[Lila Hart]

That's awful. But I'm with you, Alex. Like, I'm totally against the war. I don't think any of this should be happening. It's absolutely horrible because lives are being lost on both sides. And, I mean, it's just. All of it's bad.

[Alex Stein]

And 13 service members have died, American service members. And that's just the number they give us. You know, they say that there's nearly 200 people that have been injured severely. And, you know, they said a lot of them have gone back into duty, but there's some people that haven't, and they're still in a hospital bed, whether it's in Germany or whether it's on another military base. And listen, I support America. I support Donald Trump. But we are fighting an asymmetrical war. When we fight with Iran, it's not a fair fight. Iran knows that they can't beat us in a war because they don't have the military structure, the military equipment. So what they do is they attack our allies.

[Rick Heidner]

And.

[Alex Stein]

And so what does that do that causes our allies to create and put pressure on us by messing up the economy, by messing up the Strait of Hormuz. So they're not fighting fair. They're attacking civilians. And I'm not pro Iran. Iran, you guys can turn into a parking lot. I don't care. My point is, I would rather negotiate with these people and have inspectors and inspect their nuclear facilities than us go and start a war where now a school got bombed with a bunch of kids. You saw that they knocked out one of their oil refineries in Tehran, Iran, and now there's black rain coming from the sky. And if they didn't hate us before now, they surely are going to hate us. And Kamani's son is now in charge. And Kamani just had his dad get murdered by America. Kimani just had, I believe, his daughter and his wife get murdered by America. If he didn't have any motivation to get a nuclear weapon before this battle, he definitely has one now. So I think this is only going to create more Iranian nationalism and only really radicalize more people to do terror attacks here in America. And we've already had about four Muslim, you know, domestic attacks, radical Islamic attacks here on American soil since this has happened. So I just. I don't like opening up Pandora's box. It Feels like an unforced error. And I do believe Donald Trump can correct this whole thing by coming to the negotiation table with Vladimir Putin, who we've already lifted sanctions off their oil for 30 days. If we can come to the table with Russia, who is allies with Iran, and we can come to some sort of ceasefire with Iran while simultaneously ending the Ukraine war, Donald Trump will easily be able to come out on top and say that he, you know, he ended two wars by starting one. And I think that that would be universally loved by the people, even the people that don't like Donald Trump, because the people that are cheering this on scare me the most. I don't know if you saw this. Hillary Clinton likes that he started a war with Iran.

[Lila Hart]

What?

[Alex Stein]

Yes.

[Rick Heidner]

Yes.

[Caller/Guest]

I'm not kidding.

[Alex Stein]

Hillary loved it, said it was really good, and how they need to have middle ground, all this nonsense. So if you're making people like Hillary Clinton happy, you're not doing your job, President Trump. Your job is to expose Hillary Clinton and not satisfy her needs for bloodlust. So I love you, Donald Trump. The game's not over. We're in about the second quarter, I would say, of this war, but if this thing drags on for two months, three months, four months, and then economically, we're just getting killed at the gas pump, and we're paying $200 a barrel, which that is what Iran wants. They want to put us in a situation where oil goes over $200 a barrel, and that is how they, quote, unquote, win the war and is by causing as much economic disaster as possible. So Iran is allegedly running out of bombs. And I think that the amount of bombs they've dropped in the past week is 86% less than the amount of bombs they dropped in the first week. So we are noticing a trend that they're dropping less bombs. But still, at the end of the day, I want zero bombs dropped on any humans, on any kids. And I feel bad for all the stray cats in Iran that got killed, and I feel bad for the cats in Tel Aviv that are getting killed. Lila, what do you think about the stray cats in Tel Aviv that are getting bombed for no reason? They didn't do anything wrong.

[Lila Hart]

Yeah, those. That. That. That's like meat people could be eating, too.

[Alex Stein]

Oh, my God, I forgot Lila's Filipina. Okay, we gotta go to break. But, Lila, you love to mess with me and say you want to eat cats and dogs and you've eaten a dog. Isn't that correct?

[Lila Hart]

Yeah.

[Alex Stein]

Oh, my gosh. Our audience is gonna hate that. I know Lila's a. She's a sick person. But she is very smart and very funny, so I'll give her a pass. But, yes, she is a Filipina dog eater. And that's. I don't know if that's racist, but. But that's just the truth. All right, guys, coming up next, we got a great interview with a man that is running in the primary to be the Republican candidate for governor of Illinois. His name's Rick Hydner. You don't want to miss it.

Well, Rick, I didn't give you a big intro, but everything that I've done, done when it comes to research regarding you is they all call you a rich guy. They all try to make fun of you for being rich. Since when is that a negative thing? Don't we all want to be rich? That's literally the only thing that I've read about you that they don't like. They don't like that you're so rich.

[Rick Heidner]

Well, I could tell you that I came from being very, very poor and worked really, really hard. And now I'm I'M fairly wealthy and I, I much prefer to be honest with you being in both spots. This one's better.

[Alex Stein]

Yeah, don't be so modest, Rick. You need to be like Trump if you want to win.

[Caller/Guest]

You gotta be like, I'm rich. I got money in the bank.

[Alex Stein]

Shorty, what you drank, you're not gonna

[Caller/Guest]

win a damn campaign by saying, oh,

[Alex Stein]

I got a little modest money. No, Rick, you should rub it in their faces because everybody out here, we're struggling. We'd all like to switch places with you, but even though you are a wealthy man, it's still, you know, more money, more problems, you know, it doesn't mean that life is necessarily, you know, cakewalk. So, Rick, you got a tough challenge in this race. The Governor Pritzker sucks. I hate the guy, I guess. What are your campaign promises? What are you campaigning on, Ray?

[Rick Heidner]

Well, the biggest reason I really ran, Alex, is because I couldn't stand to see all these people in Illinois being hurt. You know, JB Pritzker has made Illinois his soapbox. He stands on it. He pounds his chest. Trump, Trump, Trump. And he doesn't seem to worry about the people here or what they're suffering. And he's allowing them to be hurt with his sanctuary state and his revolving door on our, on our justice system and his safety act that he, he, he continues to let, allow, you know, letting people from prison just basically have an open door and they keep coming out and hurting more and more, more and more people. So that's the biggest reason I ran, you know.

[Alex Stein]

Rick, do you think there should be a weight limit for governor if you're over £450, you should be discredited from running or is that, is that bigoted?

[Rick Heidner]

Well, well, I'll tell you something, you know, if I have one compliment for the guy, and I don't have really any, but I'll give him this one. He really has lost a lot of weight. You know, he wants to be president and I think he thinks it's a, a beauty contest. And so he's lost several. I don't even know at least £100 if I had to. So I gotta give him a little credit for that.

[Alex Stein]

Oh, my gosh, Rick, you're too nice.

[Caller/Guest]

He's still obese.

[Alex Stein]

He needs to lose about £300. He needs. The chances of him getting under £200 are impossible. Now, Rick, we are here with my co host for the evening, Lila Hart. Lila Hart is a little person. She's four foot seven. So what are you going to do if you become governor to help the little people. Lila, aren't you interested in hearing what he's going to do to help people like yourself?

[Lila Hart]

Yes, absolutely. Please tell us.

[Rick Heidner]

Well, you know, when you say little people, we'll call that people that are a little bit more disadvantaged. And what I really like to do is start some programs so that people that are disadvantaged could learn to. And. And we give them opportunity so they could grow financially. And I don't care how small you are, when you grow financially, you're definitely bigger by the.

[Lila Hart]

That is true.

[Alex Stein]

And Lila does very well financially. She's a touring comedian that does really well. She's got one of the nicest Toyota Tacoma trucks I've ever seen. I'm not kidding. It's a 2025. It's lifted up. It's a very nice truck. She's doing very well for herself. Now, Rick. Okay, we talk about Illinois. I think the biggest story coming out of the state, maybe I'm partial to this because I'm a Cowboys fan, but the Bears are potentially going to go to Indiana. I mean, isn't that the worst example of mismanagement when you lose a storied franchise like that? What would you do as governor to, you know, I guess stop that from happening?

[Rick Heidner]

Well, I've been talking about this for months. You know, Arlington Heights, they bought 326 acres in Arlington Heights. And I call that a city inside of a city. And, you know, I'm a businessman and this is the perfect example. They bought it three years ago and they've got no cooperation at all from this governor. And, you know, just the insanities of telling the Bears that they have to basically pay off the mortgage of Soldier Field. If they want any cooperation, I will call it a half a billion dollar bill. When you're a renter, you don't have to pay off someone's mortgage. You have to live up to your obligations of your lease. So they've been leasing for over 100 years and I think they have the right to own their own property. So when I say a city inside of a city, not only will we get a Superdome and we'll get the. We'll get the super bowl, which will generate hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars here for Illinois. We're also going to get hotels and fuel centers and bars and restaura and condominiums and offices because it's such a large project that will produce hundreds of millions of dollars of taxes a year for our state. And we don't just go to a Zero. If we lose the Bears, we go to a big negative because everything that they're already generating is going to be gone. And these people that are in position right now, they have no sense of reality at all. They don't know what a dollar really is to make and to pay. And so, so for me to see this happening and for us to lose our unbelievable, beautiful Bears is just sickening. Absolutely sickening.

[Alex Stein]

No, I agree with you, Rick, 100%. Now, I guess this question might be out of left field, but do you think the gun violence in Chicago has anything to do with it? You think is a lot of these NFL players are wild. Maybe it's safer in Indiana because if we're going to be honest, Chicago has some of the worst gun violence in our nation.

[Rick Heidner]

Yeah, we, we are in a terrible position when it comes to violence. You know, I don't let my kids go downtown after 6:30 at night. I love our beautiful downtown. I love our Chicago, our skyline, all the amenities we have there. And it is not safe. We, we, we, we have people robbed in broad daylight. You know, and with the, again, it's the accountability, Alex. I mean, there's no accountability. I mean, you know, you get arrested for something, you're out in four to six hours. You know, the policemen have told me, rick, arrest somebody, four days later, we're arresting the exact same person. It's sickening and it makes no sense. And you know, people have to be accountable. You know, with the safety act, they don't need bail. So, you know, they say, oh, well, Rick, you have money, you have money, you can afford bail. Well, first of all, bail is normally put on you basically too on, on what your value is, what your, what your net worth is, how much money you make. So my bail might be $100,000 and somebody else's bail might be $500 or $1,000, the same thing, Alex, it's pretty simple. If you don't want to have to put up bail, if you don't want to have to worry about bail, I have a great way for you to do that. Don't commit a crime. Just don't commit a crime. It's pretty damn simple.

[Alex Stein]

You know, that is pretty simple. But sometimes, you know, it's almost too reductive because some people feel like they're, they have to commit crimes, I guess, I don't know, it's nature versus nurture. And if they're around a bunch of criminals, they feel like that's the only way that they can be successful. Now this is A. A political issue that is very important to me. Now. Chicago, it's a very. It's a melting pot. It has some of the best Chinese food in the world, has some great Mexican food, has every ethnicity of food. You know, it's a multicultural city. But I want amnesty for Big Booty Latinas. I believe that if you are a nine, you are fine. You should not have to worry about getting deported. Now, would you be willing to go out there and support the Big Booty Latinas that are working so hard in the hotels? Because Donald Trump even said he's not going to deport the ones that are working in hotels. So I'm saying, what is your stance on, you know, if they're a Somali daycare owner, we can kick them out. But what about the beautiful Big Booty Latinas? Did they deserve amnesty? Rick?

[Rick Heidner]

Well, I don't want to call it amnesty, but I definitely will say this. First of all, we are not allowed any of our, our officers are not allowed to cooperate with ICE or the federal government. We have hardened criminals in our jail, and if they commit a lesser crime here, they're being let out. Rather than our officers contacting ICE and saying, hey, I've got a murderer in here from Venezuela and, you know, come and get them. No, they release them instead. So I do have to tell you, yes, I have a very soft spot in my heart for people that have been here for a long time. You know, a lot of them have homes, they paid taxes, they have kids in schools. I would like to find a pathway for them to be able to stay. Now, that isn't a rubber stamp. Maybe they'll have to pay some kind of a fine. They'll definitely have to go through an application. But I'd like to see them have a path. In all fairness, what you see happening here in Illinois is what I call herding. H E R D I N G When the ICE agents have to go out because they get no cooperation, they have to go in places. And once they go inside and they're, they're checking IDs and they're checking people and, and they find out someone's not a, you know, they're an illegal immigrant, they have no choice but to arrest them. They can't say, oh, you look like a nice person, I'm going to let you go. No, by law, they have to take them in. And this is the sad part. We could have had ice out of here in six to eight weeks. Instead, we're, I don't know, at least over 220 days now with no end in sight. It's just terrible. It's absolutely terr.

[Alex Stein]

No, it is bad because I've been to the detention center and there's still people protesting there. Now, Lila is a Filipina and her mom married an American citizen. And I like that, you know, if you marry an American, you deserve to stay. I wish we would go back to. I mean, I guess it still is a law, but I wish people would actually have to marry some ugly guy. I would like when a hot chick has to marry an ugly guy to stay here. I like that.

[Rick Heidner]

Now, Lila, that's how I got my wife, Alex. That's how I got my wife.

[Tucker Carlson (clip)]

My wife.

[Alex Stein]

Exactly. So you have a hot foreign wife. That's brilliant. I knew. Rick, you're a dog. I knew it. You're getting my endorsement. My full endorsement. Lila, before we let the future governor go, is there anything you want to ask him?

[Lila Hart]

What is your. What is your number one thing you want to do to make Chicago a better place for its citizens?

[Alex Stein]

Well. The state.

[Lila Hart]

Or the state?

[Rick Heidner]

Listen, the. The business part of this is easy for me. It's just so easy for me. I understand how to bring a lot of business here. The most important thing that I want to do for our beautiful state is I want to make it safe again. I want you to be able to walk down my. My. My mother was only 4 foot 11, so she's got you by 4 inches, but it's really not that big of a deal. But I do want to tell you, I want for you to be able to walk down the street, and I want you to be safe. The women are the least safe, and I want all girls, women, mothers, sisters. I want them to be safe. That's what I'm going to do immediately.

[Lila Hart]

That's great. I love that.

[Alex Stein]

I love that, too. Well, Rick, we really appreciate you joining us. How can people support your campaign? And what's the best way to find you?

[Rick Heidner]

Well, you know, the primary's tomorrow. It's Rick for Illinois. Please look me up. Read all about me. Spend an hour. Spend an hour. Each candidate, look up every single one of them and pick which one you think will be the best for you. I think it's going to be me. I promise you, everything that I say I'm going to do, I'm going to do. I have no alternative motives. I didn't have to do this. I never ran for anything before. If we had term limits, I wouldn't have had to run because J.B. pritzker wouldn't have been able to run. So term limits is a big deal to two. Two terms for a governor is the first thing that I'm going to tell all legislators that I want.

[Alex Stein]

Yeah, it's brilliant. And I'm serious, guys. Rick's a good guy. The biggest dirt you can find on him is they don't like him because he's so rich. I'm not even kidding. I admit that when I say that, Rick. So that's a pretty good, good problem to have. Well, thank you so much for making time. I hope that you have a successful primary. Guys, if you are in the state of Illinois, go vote for our man Rick. He actually wants to make your state safe. And I think he is right. That is really, at the end of the day, the most important thing because nothing else matters if you get murdered or killed or shot. So thank you so much, Rick. All right, guys, coming up next, we got to dive deep. I mean, things are insane. Donald Trump is writing love letters to Mark Levan. You don't want to miss it.

[Public Ad/Announcer]

Welcome back to After Hours. Unreal America's voice.

[Alex Stein]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Welcome back to After Hours with Alexander on real Iran's Voice. I mean, real America's voice. Sorry. I'm sorry, guys. I've been. I've been huffing pain a little bit before the show, so that's on me. But, Lila, listen, you know everybody that's gonna accuse me of being a Saudi Arabian shill, they're. They're accusing me of being a Shia Muslim. That's impossible. My grandfather was Jewish. So obviously I support Israel. But there is a clip that is going viral of Jonathan Greenblatt, who is the head of the adl, the Anti Defamation League, which is supposed to be a league that I guess goes after all defamation, you know, supposed to help black people, Chinese people, Filipina, people like yourself. But really and truly, their main focus is going after people that speak ill of Israel. I don't know what else to say. So this is a clip. It's from about a year ago, and he said something very disturbing. Now, are you familiar with Israel's great plan to put bombs in pagers?

[Public Ad/Announcer]

No.

[Alex Stein]

Are you kidding, Lila? They ran one of the most sophisticated military operations ever. They gave Hezbollah a bunch of pagers, and it took him 10 years. Allegedly, they created fake shell companies, and they somehow even convinced Hezbollah to continue to use pagers so that they wouldn't be tracked, when in reality, they were tracking him the whole time they were putting bombs in pagers. And then they presented Donald Trump Benjamin Netanyahu with a golden pager, which I don't know how else you could not take that as a threat.

[Rick Heidner]

But that's.

[Alex Stein]

I don't want to talk about that. What I do want to talk about is that this is the head of the ADL saying that Israel needs to get creative and do another pager attack for people that don't speak highly of Israel. And I just want to say I love Israel. It is the greatest country on earth. It is better than America. Way better. So let's play the clip in the

[Jonathan Greenblatt (clip)]

US and around the world. We've got to start doing things differently. And the same goes here in Israel. This means that the problem won't be solved by yet another new Knesset task force. It won't be solved by the government just throwing money at the problem. It won't be solved by the IDF Spokesperson's Unit issuing updated talking points or suddenly using TikTok like us in America. You need to adopt new strategies, to experiment with creative tactics, to study the results and scale wide works. Maybe it's a whole new IDF unit, call it 8300 to lead this fight. But we need the kind of genius that manufactured Apollo gold pagers and infiltrated Hezbollah for over a decade to prepare for this battle. We need the kind of courage that executed Operation Deep Layer inside Syria and destroyed Iranian missile manufacturing capabilities to undertake this mission. This is the kind of ingenuity and inventiveness that have always been a hallmark of the state of Israel, that have always been a characteristic of the Jewish people. I know we can do it.

[Alex Stein]

I mean, that seems a little shocking that he wants to encourage people, especially the leadership of Israel, to create a subversive bombing campaign to I guess 86 people that are sharing anti Semitic memes online. And I'm not, I mean, I'm not pro Semitic. I don't even know how to say that, that I'm ant. I'm anti anti Semitism. I don't like antisemitism. I'm against it. But I do believe in the First Amendment. We should have freedom of speech. We should be able to say whatever we want online. Doesn't matter how offensive you call it. Hate speech is a fake, made up idea. And here in America, we should be able to legally say whatever we want and not have to worry about being the victim of a pager that is going to blow up in our pocket and not only maim our genitalia. That's what it maimed. It maimed a bunch of people's genitals blew their balls off, literally. And they're laughing about it. And it maimed some of the young kids that were hanging out. Well, yes, there were some kids that were in the room with their dad and some kids got blown up, too.

[Lila Hart]

Alex, you're absolutely right. That's what makes America so beautiful and great, is that we are supposed to have freedom of speech, to have conversations. So the fact that you could get blown up for saying the wrong thing is ludicrous.

[Caller/Guest]

I know.

[Alex Stein]

And this is. This guy's running one of the biggest organizations, especially when it comes to combating free speech, is the ads. Now, I got to play this other clip and just know that I love the country of Israel. I'm not anti Israel whatsoever, but I thought this was a very unique thing. Now, this is a clip of Bret Stephens talking about how the higher a person goes in the education system, the more likely they are to be anti Semitic. Which I thought is weird because you would think that the, you know, super educated people would be pro Israel, but I guess it's the opposite. Let's play the clip.

[Rick Heidner]

A large part of anti antisemitism efforts

[Alex Stein]

come down to the conviction that if we could simply properly educate more people,

[Rick Heidner]

not the hardcore antisemites, as you mentioned,

[Alex Stein]

but people in the middle, that we

[Rick Heidner]

would diminish the quantum of antisemitism in society.

[Alex Stein]

As a matter of fact, there's a fair bit of evidence that antisemitism doesn't

[Rick Heidner]

decline as educational achievement rises. In fact, it increases.

[Alex Stein]

Why do you think that is? Why would a person that has a higher education be more likely to be anti Semitic? That's weird.

[Lila Hart]

Yeah, that is kind of strange to me.

[Alex Stein]

I don't understand that that's weird that the person that would be considered smarter from an academic viewpoint would be more likely to be anti Semitic. I wonder why that is. Well, doesn't matter. Let me tell you why anti Semitism does exist because of people like this guy Mark Levin. Now, are you familiar with Mark Levin at all? You probably don't even know who that is, Lila, do you?

[Lila Hart]

No, but you can tell me about him.

[Alex Stein]

He's a Fox News host and he is Donald Trump's favorite human being in the world. And he's a guy that was a never Trumper. There's articles where he said that he did not support Donald Trump in 2016 and now he's Donald Trump's best friend. So much so that he is in a fight, in a online spat with Megyn Kelly where she is calling him micropenis Mark. Because Mark Levin. This is true. She's calling him micropenis. Mark. Because Mark Levin is accusing Megyn Kelly, who's not anti Semitic. I'm not anti Semitic. You're not anti Semitic. We're just calling out some, you know, weird inconsistencies that we see within our government and some, you know, glaring issues that we're just trying to address. It doesn't make us anti Semitic. And Megyn Kelly's not anti Semitic. But he has gone on a campaign, he has tweeted about her over 200 times in a negative way, and she finally decided to fire back. And even though there are old clips of Megan saying she really like and liked and respected Mark, but ever since she became basically Team Tucker, they've had a coordinated attack and assassination of her character, which I totally disagree with. But because it's made such big news on social media, Donald Trump wrote a love letter to Mark Levin. Now, let me read some of this. It's insane. Mark Levin, a truly great American patriot, is somewhat under siege by other people with far less intellect, capability, and love for our country. Mark is tough, strong, and brilliant, hence the nickname the Great One, conceived by our MAGA friend, the wonderful Sean Hannity. After years of dealing with Mark in legal, media, and other capacities, Mark would often do Sean's show speaking as a lawyer. And Sean realized then, as did others, that he was special. Mark Levin was not looking to do television, radio, or anything else. But he was drafted by very smart people who understood that there are few like him. He is a true conservative and intellect far smarter than those who criticize him. But above all, he is a man of great wisdom and common sense who truly loves our country. When you hear others unfairly attack Mark, remember that they are jealous and angry human beings whose sway is much less than the public understands and will know or and will now they know where I stand rapidly diminished. Other than for his wonderful wife and family. Mark Levin only cares and wants one thing, greatness and success for America. And it goes on and on. I can't even read it all. What do you think about Donald Trump writing a love letter to a guy that didn't even support him in his first campaign?

[Lila Hart]

Cool. It's very interesting, but that was very nice. I would want my friend to defend me in that way. That was very nice.

[Alex Stein]

I know it was a little too nice. I mean, Donald Trump, they sounded kind of gay a little bit. And I'm not calling Donald Trump gay. Obviously, he's not. You know, Malone Melania is beautiful. He's a man's man. But Mark Levin, the reason why I kind of connect to this with the people that are anti Semitic, people like Mark Levin, who's reached the top levels of media, was a successful attorney. He still goes on the air every day and pretends to be a victim, which is really basically the same thing that AOC does and that the left does. And also he uses these terms. He calls people woke, right? He calls people fascist. He calls people Nazis. That's literally what has been happening to us for the past 10 years from the left. And so now he's taking their talking points and using it against conservatives. So my argument is this, Mark, if you want to be more likable and you want to get an audience as big as Tucker or as big as Megyn Kelly's without having to get your knee pads out for Donald Trump's, you know what I mean? You need to be real and genuine and not constantly playing the victim because you are a multimillionaire who has reached the pinnacle of broadcasting. So. So it's ridiculous that you go on your show every night and you yell at Tucker Carlson and you yell at Megyn Kelly when if you really cared about our country, you'd be yelling at the people that are basically ruining our country. And those are the people on the left. Those are the people that are trying to transition children. Those are the people that want everything for free and are able to do Somali daycare scams. The people that are actually being subversive. The illegal immigrants that are coming here and stealing jobs from American citizens. You don't ever attack those people, but instead, you've channeled all your energy by going after people that campaigned for Donald Trump because of one issue that you do not like. Because I would argue that Mark Levin probably agrees with Tucker on 95% of his political opinions. So it's people like Mark Levin that constantly want to play the victim, that actually inadvertently creates more anti Semitism because he's so unlikable. You are fake news. Well, it's nothing fake about what I just said. Sadly, I wish it was. But what do I say on the show all the time? Reality is stranger than fiction. All right, guys, coming up next, we're gonna play my most recent appearance at the New York City Council meeting, talking

[Caller/Guest]

about, what do you.

[Alex Stein]

What do you think? Sharia law. So you don't want to miss it. Coming up next, Thank you guys so much for spending your evening right here on Real America's Voice, watching after hours with Alex Stein. Now, Lila, you know that I am the town hall terror. I am famous for going to city council meetings. But, you know, I used to go during the pandemic, and I would call over zoom, and I was like, you know what? We need to make some content. I need to go shake things up. So I decided to zoom into some city council meetings today, and I wanted to play a couple of them, and I want to start out with this one. Now, I love Mayor Mamdani. I know that he's a jihadi, I know that he's a terrorist, and I know that he wants Sharia law. But really, at the end of the day, he campaigned on a promise that I really can agree with. He wants to make the food truck food cheaper. That's true. He wanted it to be cheaper. And so I had to call him out. And I spoke. This is a real city council meeting with the sanitation and the human health and services. And these people. I'm not even kidding. Are in charge of inspecting the food carts and issuing tickets if people do not have the proper registration for the food truck. So let's play this video. I wrote Mom Donnie a beautiful song. Like right now, the prices are still pretty high because you guys are giving these people a lot of restrictions. So you guys need to reduce the restrictions. So I wrote a little poem, so. Oh, forget that iron mess. It's just sand and a bunch of stress. I'm hyped for the falafel fight Chickpeas clash in a pit of spice delight. Peter's pounding hard through the day and night. Mom Donny, you are a brown king Walking around with your anti semi swing Loosen the rules. Cheap eats ring food carts free prices drop like a bomb. She highly vibes strong Keep the passion calm. Mom Donnie, you are my mom. Love those terrorists riding on the camel I don't give a dang? Cause your food truck has a handle to my heart it makes me fight If I'm being real I'll accidentally shard in the apple store? Cause I'm at the genius bar? Cause I cracked my screen? Cause a guy robbed me on the subway train? All I was doing was buying cocaine. Mom Donnie, you're the mocha man. I'm your number one anti Semite. Thank you for next bite. Thank you.

[Public Ad/Announcer]

Thank you for your testimony.

[Alex Stein]

Well, Lila, I honestly, that was not my best effort. You know, I'm kind of. I guess I'm a little rusty. I'm just kind of, you know, shooting from the hip. So I was a little frustrated. So I decided to dial into another meeting. Lila and how do you think this one went?

[Lila Hart]

Wonderful. Let's see how it went.

[Caller/Guest]

I would like to say I've noticed a lot of the people in this meeting are African American black. And you notice none of them are Muslim. Because Muslims do not neglect our children. Although we do like to.

[Alex Stein]

Please make sure you stay on topic.

[Caller/Guest]

We like to marry them. So the social services of the budget going to all of these African Americans. I know you like abortion so much. Why don't you create some sort of abortion incentive so these kids don't have to go to prison or go to jail? You can see there's a trend when it comes to the race of these kids. And I feel so bad, but it seems like you guys, if you like to kill babies in the womb, why don't you do that to these babies so they don't have to grow up with their parents not saying the budget. I don't know why my tax dollars had to go. I have Islam family. We have multiple kids. And why does my tax money have to go to these kids with their parents and their baby mamas having so many babies with no baby daddy support? I don't understand New York City Mom Donnie. They don't. They don't neglect their kids. Yes, they marry their kids, but they don't neglect them. So that's why I'm frustrated.

[Alex Stein]

Please stay on topic around the budget hearing today.

[Caller/Guest]

What I'm talking about is why is our budget being allocated for that? We should have Sharia law. These kids. None of these kids are doing Korea law. I don't see no budget to teach kids to support Sharia law. And you need to put a. A mask over some of these kids. They should be covering their face. It's haram. It's disgusting. A lot of haram stuff is happening. And I voted for Mamdani so that we can help. And I just see you helping lots of black children. And I like black children, but I like Muslim children more.

[Alex Stein]

Thank you for your testimony.

[Public Ad/Announcer]

Your time is expired.

[Alex Stein]

What'd you think about that, Lila?

[Lila Hart]

She was very upset with you.

[Alex Stein]

She was the star of the show. She was the best of the show.

[Rick Heidner]

That was great.

[Lila Hart]

Stay on topic. Stay on topic.

[Alex Stein]

Yeah, well, we went a little off topic, but New York City is absolutely insane right now. And with mom Donnie, I've got kind of lost hope of even visiting right now because the likelihood of me getting stabbed is probably pretty high. But while you and I both agree this war is not a great thing, I think we both agree that it needs to end very soon. And now there's rumblings and rumors, which I hope are not true, that we could have a draft. Now, Iran, you don't want that because we have a set of soldiers like this man, that will be your worst nightmare. Because I know you guys think, oh, you're a bunch of Americans. You're not tough. You know, us Persians are so tough. Well, check out this fella. And then let me see if we're not so tough anymore. Our soldiers literally have blades coming out of their hands like wolverines. So I. If I was a Persian, if I was Iranian right now, I would be shaking in my boots, and I would not want to provoke America into this war. And I would open up the Strait of Hormuz and I would retreat and, you know, in this war, you guys call it off and say, we're not going to bomb anymore. You guys won, and it's all over Iran, because you do not want this fella with his finger blades coming at you, slicing you up like a birthday cake. Am I wrong, Lila?

[Lila Hart]

No. I mean, that guy is dangerous.

[Alex Stein]

[Alex Stein]

And, Lila, before we go, how can people find you and support you?

[Lila Hart]

They can find [e-mail] and I'm currently touring with the Micro Maidens. So check out micromaidens.com and see me when I'm coming to a city near you.

[Alex Stein]

And we only got a minute, but the Micro Maidens are all tiny ladies that go and they travel the country and they put on a very fun show. So if you are able to go see that show and you are an adult, I encourage you guys to go check it out. It is very interesting and unique, to say the least. And, Lila, you are the emcee of that, and you're doing very well on your show.

[Lila Hart]

I sure am.

[Alex Stein]

You work so hard. You really do work like a Filipina.

[Lila Hart]

Thank you so much. Alex and I had a wonderful time on your show.

[Alex Stein]

You did? Okay, good. Because that is important to me. I always want the guests to have a good time. And I just want to say Tucker Carlson does not work for Qatar. There's no evidence that I'm getting paid by the Saudis or by Qatar. I don't know why you would accuse me of that. Anybody that's doing that, that is a lunatic. Okay? And Mark Levin, I'm not pro Sharia law. I know. I called into a few city council meetings, and I was trying to get them to give me free falafel. And I was trying to get, you know, some money and reparations for Muslims. That's neither here nor there. That's called satire. I love you. I love the great country of Israel. And I'm so happy that Donald Trump wrote you a love letter, because I can use that for my spank bank letter. I shouldn't have said that. All right, well, guys, if you want to come meet me in person March 25, I want to be at CPAC with the whole real America's Voice crew. You don't want to miss it. It's gonna be insane for the Ukraine, which Donald Trump is gonna end the Ukraine war maybe at cpac. Maybe he negotiates it at cpac. I don't know. But thank you guys so much for watching. I love you guys. Maybe Donald Trump, I don't know if they heard me, but I think Donald Trump is going to negotiate the end of the Ukraine war at cpac. So if you want to meet me, you want to meet Lila. Lila is probably not going to be there. Maybe she might be, but who knows? Steve Bannon's going to be there. Dr. Gina is going to be there. Jack Wisobic, all the real America's Voice superstars. You don't want to miss it. Thank you guys for watching. We'll see you tomorrow night.
