So, Ali, over the weekend, Elon Musk pulled, pushed Starlink into, into the area. So the people of Iran, we can see the pictures of. We, for the first time, we saw some really graphic protesters being shot, being manhandled, being thrown around, being assaulted. And then they shut down even StarLink. So for 100 hours, we don't know. We've heard of reports as few as 500 people killed. We've heard reports as high as 12,000 people killed and another 12,000 imprisoned. What do you hear?

B (3:45)

Well, you know, because of the Internet, we had difficulty getting information from our own network inside Iran, which has been extremely active. But the latest information we got as of Yesterday, that over 3,000 have been killed. This is based on the reports we compiled from our network in Iran, from hospitals, morgues, family members, and the actual number could be much higher. And the regime has done everything to put down the revolt, but, you know, today is still continuing. The protest is still continuing. I think this clearly shows how afraid this regime is, but at the same time, how fragile they are. This is the largest infliction of killings and murder on the protests in the past few years. The largest number of killings since Supreme Leader Khamenei came to power as a Supreme Leader in 1989.

A (4:42)

Ali, so tell us how this works. Okay, so the people protest now, the ir, gc, the, I guess they're there to protect the mullah class, is there law enforcement besides them that may be on the side of the protesters? At least protect them somewhat.

B (4:58)

All of the military apparatus that the regime has, and they have so many of it, they have the regular army, they have the Revolutionary Guards, and they had what they call the Basij that works hand in hand with Eruche Guards. They're all in charge of protecting the system and against the Iranian people. However, you have this popular structure that the main Iranian opposition movement, the mek, Created a few years ago, known as the Resistance Units. Mostly young people in small cells and groups. Their job is to act as engine for change in Iran. They confront the Revolutionary Guards, they confront institutions of repression. They show the people that the Iranian regime, despite the killings, is not 10ft tall. And they acted as engine during the protests, protecting the people, pushing back against the Guards, in some cases disarming the Revolutionary Guards. This is where the focus should be. These resistance units need to be protected, you know, empowered. And their right to confront the Revolutionary Guards and fight them and overthrow them must be recognized. And that's why, you know, there's no other way to end the rule of the clerics except to fight them. And that has already been in motion. And any element that tries to disrupt this motion to end the rule of the clerics, they act as obstacles.

A (6:20)

Ali, at one point, President Trump indicated that he may be interested in something more than sanctions, Right? So he put a 25% sanction on any country who does business with Iran. That will hurt them, clearly. But at some point it looked like there was going to be some sort of military kinetic, even potentially not boots on the ground, but maybe some drone strikes. Whatever. He did it once already in the last six months. Then he looks like he may have pushed back. What is the common wisdom on whether or to what level Trump is willing to use the United States might to. To remove these mullahs? While the, while the taking is good, it seems like if it's going to happen, this may be the best opportunity maybe, and be in the last 10 years, maybe the next 10 years.

B (7:05)

Well, you know, a country like Iran, which is so large, so populated, you know, over 90 million population, if you are looking for change, that change has to come from within. Even the smaller countries like Syria, at the end of the day, you know, it took the fighting underground to bring down Assad in Syria. In the case of Iran, that's why there is an organized resistance. Has been fighting the Mollahs for over four decades. A very high price has been paid by the MEK. You know, just in summer of 1988, as many as 30,000 political prisoners belonging to this movement, most of them were murdered with the hope that the regime would be able to crush them. It didn't work. And now you have the younger generation, the daughters and sons, grandchildren and siblings of those who were murdered in 1988, who are now in the streets of Iran, those who were imprisoned. So there is an organized force on the ground which is the best tool and perhaps the only effective tool to end the rule of the clerics that has been in action. However, the role of the International Committee is important. The mullahs have been used to for four decades getting concessions and appeasement policy that helped the regime. That has changed. And I think it's important for the world to make the regime accountable, making sure that they pay the price for these killings and they're not going to get away with anything, whether it's their terrorism or killing of their own people.

A (8:37)

All right, Ali, I have one quick question for you now. Let's speculate. This is what we do, right? We're on tv, we're not inside. If Trump were to perform a surgical operation similar to what he did in Venezuela with Maduro, Maduro coming in quietly in the we hours, the morning surgically come in, removed Ayatollah Ali Khomeini, what would happen?

B (9:01)

Well, you know, this is, Iran is obviously different than many other countries you mentioned. But in the case of Iran, the system is theocracy. The whole thing is built around the Supreme Leader, the absolute religious authority and everything else is built around him. So the Revolutionary Guards are there to protect him, and the other institutions of repression are built to protect him. They also get their legitimacy internally from the Supreme Leader. So in the case that the supreme leader dies or, you know, for somehow he's, he doesn't exist, it's, it's not the situation that you will see the rest of this system function because the whole thing will crumble. And that's why the regime feels that they, they cannot give in an inch. That's why when, you know, there's protests.

A (9:51)

Try to come back, they will, you're right. They will guard against that at all costs. I'm just wondering what the. If it would be as simple and straightforward as Venezuela. Maybe not maybe there's a lot more air defense. Ali Raza, thank you so much. Deputy Director of the U.S. office of National Council of Resistance on Iran. Thank you, sir, for your time.

B (10:09)

Thank you. Always a pleasure.

A (10:11)

All right, folks. Americans are facing enormous financial pressure right now. Credit card debt in this country has surged past $1 trillion. Interest rates are some of the highest we've ever seen, especially on credit card deb. Families who work hard, pay taxes and do everything right are finding themselves drowning in monthly payments they can't escape. Joining us today to talk about real solutions is consumer finance advocate with iconic debt relief, Melanie Picor. Melanie, really, really good to have you. How many Americans currently struggling? This is amazing. The number is going to blow you away. How many Americans how many people, how many of us are struggling with credit card debt?

C (10:46)

You know, I wish I had an exact number for you. That would be astronomical. Right. But I can say well over half of the US Households have revolving, revolving balances. Excuse me. Which means we have running balances month over month over month. Right. There's over a trillion dollars in debt in the country. So it's, it's an astronomical number.

A (11:07)

It is astronomical. The problem is once you're in debt like this, you tend to fall deeper and deeper in debt. Right? Why, why is that? Why is it so hard for people to pull themselves out of credit card debt?

C (11:19)

Well, when you really think about it or look at your statement, I don't think a lot of us realize what daily compounding interest is. Right. And that's the biggest challenge. So daily compounding interest is that interest being charged, charged on top of interest that's already been charged. So it's compounding between 20 and 30% consistently. It's not like a simple interest rate where like say your mortgage. Right. So it's so hard, even $300 to $500 a month sometimes can feel like you're running in place.

A (11:47)

You know Dave Ramsey, a good friend of mine, he's one of the, like the go to gurus on all things investing debt and whatnot. He will tell you the first thing you always should do is pay off your credit card debts for the exact reason you just said there. The compounding interest is just killer. So how do people, how do people work with you to get themselves out of debt?

C (12:06)

Well, great question. At Iconic, it's quite simple, right? We will help you find a light at the end of the tunnel. Okay. So most people will look at debt relief as a scary option and belief seeking help truly means failure, but it really does not. And it also does not destroy our financial future, which is a lot of the feedback some people are saying, right? In reality, doing nothing, doing what we're doing now, consistently throwing money away at these high compounding interest rates is hurting your future more than anything because you can't get out from under it. Right. Which can take decades to do on your own. So what we're going to do is we're going to help you repair that. Okay. We're going to find responsible debt relief options about regaining that control and getting that fresh start and creating a realistic path instead of staying in or even getting worse, going backwards in the situation that we're in.

A (12:58)

Curious. So I have debts here, there and everywhere.

C (13:01)

Right.

A (13:02)

I can't figure out which One to pay first, which one not to worry about. You'll go in and help teach us which ones to pay or, or do you come in and manage it all? Do you say let me aggregate all this and you sent write a check like this and we'll distribute and, and freeze this high interest rates that are accruing. How does it work?

C (13:18)

Great question. So it is not a loan though a debt consolidation can loan can work for some. You really have to ask yourself, you know, once I get this loan, can I rip up my credit cards? Right. So we're going to do is we're going to go through all of your unsecured debt, ensure that we work with those creditors to not only help stop that consistent daily compounding interest from accruing, but also relieve you of, you know, up to 50% of that debt that you do already owe. Because let's face it, we've probably paid that off two or three times over the life of having that credit card. So we're not going to cut you a check. We're going to work with your creditors to reduce your overall debt.

A (13:56)

Got it? Got it. Melanie, really good to have you on. Consumer finance advocate for iconic debt relief, Melanie Pukar. Thank you.

C (14:02)

Thank you.

A (14:03)

All right folks, we will be back two and a half. You know what Happy New Year means? A new year means new financial goals like making sure your savings are secure and diversified. Will this year be the finally the year you listen to me and talk to someone about Birch Gold Group. Honestly, they're great people. I use them. I appreciate their educational approach. I appreciate their understanding of macroeconomics. There are forces pushing the dollar lower across the world in fact and gold higher. 4,654, 650 bucks. That's up 80, 90% over one year period. That's why they believe every American should own physical gold as I do so until January 30th, another eight, whatever, 20 days or so. If you're a first time gold buyer, Birch Gold is offering a rebate of up to 10 grand on qualifying purchases. To claim eligibility, start the process, just text the word America to 989-898. Birch Gold can help you roll an existing IRA or 401K into an IRA in gold. Get that? You don't take any more money out of your pocket. You take an existing ira, put it into gold and you could still earn the rebate of up to $10,000. So make right now your first time to buy gold. Take advantage of a rebate of up to ten grand. When you buy by January 30th. Text the word America to 989-898. Claim your eligibility today. One more time. America texted you to 9,898. All right. Our own RAV chief White House correspondent Brian Glenn is at the White House today. A lot going on, some of it behind your shot, Brian, some of it in Michigan. Just give us a lowdown.

D (15:48)

Yeah. Kevin, has it just walked away from what they call the stakeout area right in front of the West Wing. Talking to reporters for a few minutes. I would imagine one of those questions, Eric, or would you expect to be the next Fed chairman? And do you think President Trump has alluded to that then also just talk about rates in general. He has just briefly stepped back into the West Wing. But yeah, so much going on today. And of course President Trump should be arriving here in the next 45 minutes. Back here at the White House from coming from the Detroit Economic Club where he spoke to a group of people there and then toward a Ford factory that makes the best selling pickup in America. Eric. That would be the F150 series. So lots of focus on domestic issues today. But when he gets back here, you and I both know I all eyes will be back on Iran and of course the developing situation in Venezuela as well.

A (16:40)

Let's talk a little bit about what you just went through. Kevin Haser. They're talking about whether or not he's going to be the next Fed chairman. Jerome Powell is clearly out investigated. Maybe, maybe now who knows? I think and I've been doing this a really long time and I know Trump, I know the guy, he likes to kind of diverse attention a little bit has to be good. But I think, I think Scott Besant wants it and I think Trump really respects Bessant and I think he's going to give it the best and he wants everyone to think it's going to hazard. It's a. Brian, we said in the break it's the best job. Fed chairman is the best job in D.C. you wield so much economic power. It's incredible. More also that F150 is the best selling vehicle in the country, not just truck, the best selling vehicle which is, which is incredible. Affordability. Is Trump back on the affordability vein? Because he really, I think he really needs to get on that before the midterms.

D (17:34)

I think, I think he is now he still calls the term affordability a hoax. And I think he's what he's meaning is that the inflation under Joe Biden went so high in double digits that when they try and talk about things are affordable, it's not affordable compared to what Joe Biden left this administration. But he has brought it down quite a bit. I mean, CPI came out today with a 2.7%. So that was to be expected. I think that's somewhere where it needs to be. But yes, still getting the focus on gasoline, fuel, heating, cooling, all of the energy costs rather in line to what people can expect and what they can afford. So that will be the focus. And I think that was one of the things that we're going to see out throughout 2026, Eric, is this focus on the economy, on the US economy and how life is better now under the Trump administration or Trump policies. Because, you know, he did inherit a disaster of an economy. So within a year, I think we can all argue he's done a pretty good job bringing things back to what we would somewhat call normal here in America.

A (18:45)

Eric, I think you're right. I think that 2.7 inflation number is right at target. You want to be somewhere around 2, 2 and a half percent. Inflation is their target. The Fed's target goal, it's getting back there. Remember, it's spiked nine, one under bide. And the reason why I brought up affordability is you weren't there that they happened to be invited. The new media chair in the briefing room one day and I was, my question to Caroline was, how come the Democrats and now this liberal media sit in front of me? I almost said you, Caitlin Collins too, she was in the front row. I said, including Fox. How come this front row here is calling this an affordability crisis? Yet they were, their mouths were shut, their, their printer ink was dry with when Biden ran it up to 9.1%. But now at 2.7%, it's an affordability crisis all of a sudden. And she was right. She just lit into him and laced into him. So we're hitting the right, right strokes, at least on the economic front, which I'll be the first one to admit I was wrong about tariffs so far. I don't know if it's going to be a lagging indicator. I thought inflation would show up by now with the tariff situation that Trump is doing. And frankly, it hasn't.

D (19:50)

Yeah, you know, it's interesting. I, when I first got here, the first of this past year, I was thinking to myself, what was the media on all of this stuff? When crime was out of control, the border was out of control, inflation was out of control. They were, they were silent on all of that, but yet the first person they want to speak up about the prices now or when they line the pebble beach here with all the mug shots of all the criminal illegal aliens, they were so quick to defend those guys rights even though they came in this country and committed crime. So the media was completely backwards and all that. And let me be the first to say this, Eric. I respect you greatly because I know that you were against the tariffs and you spoke out against it, but now you're saying, you know what, maybe I might have been, I might have misjudged that. So you are a man of character, you're honest, you're a good guy. And I think we all respect the fact that you publicly have said maybe I was wrong on the tariffs. And I think we all can kind of laugh at the fact that we're all, you know, very open and honest. And I love the fact that you.

A (20:52)

Just said that because I remember you talking about the tariffs. I'm actually frankly thrilled I was wrong. I mean, because we wouldn't be seeing a 2 1/2% inflation rate and we wouldn't be seeing a brand new high in stock market yesterday, new high in gold today. So you're right, you know, whatever. Again, so many people like to hit Trump because he comes up with these, these ideas that are kind of against common sense. For me, common sense would have said keep prices, whatever, and you go. And then he ends up being right. You know, at some point, as Bannon says, look, you just got to go with him. You know, he's got these, these senses about things that may sound counterintuitive, but you just got to go with them. Final thought before we go anything on Iran, Brian, by the way, you're right.

D (21:30)

Well, no, I was just speaking probably about an hour ago, one of the colleagues that works on pebble beach here, he is an Iranian correspondent for the White House and he told me, Brian, the images are bad coming out of Iran. He said 10,000 or more people reportedly killed. And get this, they're even dragging the bodies of the, the, the, the victims to the houses of the, to the parents, the family, and saying, guess what? Here's the body. We pumped two bullets in this body. Pay up. You owe us two bullets. This regime is evil. But we could be hours before we see some type of kinetic or non kinetic engagement with Iran. So all eyes are on Iran tonight.

A (22:11)

Got it? Be keep your eye. There's a lot going on in that part of the country. Brian, thank you. Appreciate your time. Brian, Glenn, everyone, thank you Eric, appreciate it. All right, folks, we'll be back. Two and a half minutes. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the President of the United States of America. Oh, and Hillary Clinton.

D (22:39)

If you're a criminal, you'll be deported. If you plan to enter the US Illegally, your chances of getting caught and sent back just went up. The actions I'm taking are not only lawful, they're the kinds of actions taken by every single Republican president and every single Democratic president for the past half century.

E (22:59)

I think we got to have tough.

C (23:00)

Conditions, tell people to come out of the shadows. If they've committed a crime, deport them, no questions asked, they're gone.

E (23:07)

All Americans, not only in the states most heavily affected, but in every place in this country, are rightly destroyed, disturbed by the large numbers of illegal aliens entering our country. The jobs they hold might otherwise be held by citizens or legal immigrants. The public service they use imposed burdens on our taxpayers. That's why our administration has moved aggressively to secure our borders more. By hiring a record number of new border guards, by deporting twice as many criminal aliens as ever before, by cracking down on illegal hiring, by barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. In the budget I will present to you, we will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes, to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace, as recommended by the commission headed by former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. We are a nation of immigrants, but we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years. And we must do more to stop it.

A (24:15)

Sounds like sound like Trump, don't they? We're a nation of immigrants, but we're also a nation of laws. Thanks, Bill. A little louder for those in the back. And we must do more to stop it. Here, here. It's worth a reminder right now. It's worth it to remember that the so called beacons of the Democrat Party not only condone what President Trump is doing right now, but according to their very own policies, would probably say that what the 47th President Trump is carrying out right now is tame by their own standards. The difference, sure, it's the man in the Oval Office right now, but the difference is that Obama and Clinton weren't desperate for votes. The difference is Democrats right now are. And that's what unchecked, this real unchecked rage is all about. Listen to the desperate folks. The desperation on these people's voices. These people are hurling the Worst types of slurs at these ICE officers possible. They're Nazis, they're ss, they're criminals. Mamdani called him a murderer. He had no idea what was going on. He was in New York an hour later. They need to be defunded or else. Let's shut down the government is what they're saying. This is pure desperation in real time. Are you actually willing to shut down.

C (25:25)

The government over these DHS proposals?

D (25:28)

Well, I mean, the question is for.

A (25:29)

Republicans, are they willing to shut down the government simply to endorse the most lawless department of Homeland Security in the.

D (25:37)

History of the country?

A (25:38)

Have your phones at the ready, video everything. Bring us your documentation, tell us your stories, make sure that we have witness testimony. The notion that Donald Trump thinks that this is somehow. Or claims that this is somehow making the country safer is absurd. It's making the country more dangerous. The domestic terrorists are ice.

D (25:55)

To me, it's.

A (25:57)

We're, we're attacking brown people.

C (25:59)

Very clear that ICE is completely out of control. It's a rogue lawless agency that has detained American citizens, they've assaulted people, they.

A (26:07)

Are putting people in the worst possible.

C (26:09)

Conditions at the detention centers.

A (26:11)

ICE and Kristi Noem, and everything they're doing is making it far less safe. I think that ICE is a real job in the same way that being a member of the SS was a real job. Remember the ss? Interesting. Interesting, because the FBI has told us murder rates are going down. They could be taking these people out of the country, undressed, up as Disney characters on beds of feathers and butterflies while playing the flute, and they still would feel that they could compare these ICE agents to the Gestapo. And what kind of conditions are they supposed to be kept in before being deported for being here illegally? Mr. Kellyanne Conway, huh? Or they're divorced now, so it doesn't count. I imagine they're wanting some four or five star accommodations like the sanctuary cities provide. Maybe a little champagne, some ribeye steak. How'd that suit these illegals? Illegal aliens, by the way. It still wouldn't be enough for them, because that isn't the point. They don't want cushier, friendlier, more nurturing deportations. They want no deportations at all. That's the only end goal for them. And they won't stop buying up armies to protest in the streets until they get to that goal. Kristi Noem confirms that they've deported rapists, child rapists, in fact, and murderers, just to name a few, by the way. They break the law coming into the country in the first place. Can you imagine protesting against that? Reframing that to be somehow a bad thing for America? Why didn't they protest when every single other president or high ranking Democrat Hillary pushed for deportations, demanded it? In fact, State of the Union addresses Bill Clinton right at the Oval Office, right outside the Oval Office, Barack Obama. Because no one wants the these Democrats anymore. The crazy policies, the indoctrination, the repeated fraud, the censorship, the gaslighting and the lawfare people are just done with a crap. So the only way they can win is to flood the country with illegal immigrants, to block voter ID laws and create permanently deep blue states through crooked judges and obedient governors. Never forget Hillary said, if they've committed a crime, deport them. Obama said, if you're a criminal, you'll be deported. Clinton. Bill Clinton got a standing ovation for speeding up deportations and securing our borders. Somehow it wasn't called racism or gestapo or bigotry back then. They called it what it was, the law. But now they can't win anymore. And that's what this is really, really all about. These people are hypocrites. All right, There's a quiet shift happening right now in media. Most people don't even realize it. The smartest people aren't looking for the loudest platforms anymore. They're looking for the most serious rooms, channels. That's why I built the edge.

The radical left knows exactly what they're doing. They want to steal the election. We're going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue and we're going to the Capitol. They need to take back our country.

A (31:22)

Events in Washington have taken a violent and tumultuous turk. January 6th wasn't just a moment in history for thousands of Americans, it was the moment their voices were taken. It's insurrection. They were persecuted, hunted, seditious conspiracy. But behind prison walls, something unexpected happened. They found their voice again, started singing the national anthem. We took it up to him at Mar a Lago.

B (32:06)

He goes, I'll put my voice on it.

A (32:08)

Our supporters made this go platinum. Real America's voice is telling the real story of January 6th like you've never seen it before. Everybody, this must be peaceful. This is not the story you were shown. I take responsibility. This is the story they live.

Available now, By the way, Trump is landing in D.C. we're going to go to if we have video and if he comes out and we'll take a peek at that. In the Meantime, it's day 300 of Democrat lawmakers proving that they're members of the party of violence by doing and saying everything they can to get ICE agents hurt or killed while just doing their jobs. And clearly every last one of them has gotten the memo. And apparently Minnesota has more than one congresswoman who hates her country and its citizens.

C (33:19)

And we are seeing indiscriminate takings of people by this masked secret police that is ice. They are wanting to create this secret police force that has no accountability and no transparency currency. And I think the American public needs to ask itself, is this the country that we want to live in? We are a country of laws and it's what has distinguished us from the rest of the world. And I think most Americans want to live in a country that follows the rule of law and the Constitution.

A (33:52)

Good luck, Minnesota. Good luck. Like I said yesterday, Pete Hegseth for governor of Minnesota. Minnesota actually suing the Trump administration now for sending an ICE in ICE agents to remove those who are in America illegally. Minnesota, you know, Minneapolis, a place where they just got caught with $9 billion of fraud from Somalis. Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. The state actively protects criminals and illegals in its state at the time the highest levels of government. But they're suing the federal government. Really suing Trump and you and me. Watch. It feels like we have an occupying force that has come in to our city. It is completely dangerous. It feels like we don't, we do not have a proper understanding of what the strategy is, what they're supposed to be doing when it comes to the federal law enforcement that has come into our community. And so it is one of those cases where it can result into a more dangerous situation. And I agree with our Attorney General Keith Ellison in saying we would like.

B (35:12)

For you all to leave.

A (35:14)

Elon, you don't understand the strategy. Is that thing up top too tight perhaps? The strategy is removing illegals and by the way, remove illegals in an area where, I don't know, probably a quasi mix of legal and illegal Somalis stole $9 billion. I think right now maybe you should just zip it. As if the state of Illinois doesn't have enough to worry about Iraq. Chiraq, their attorney general also suing the Department of Homeland Security along with ICE and the CBP for carrying out the mission that was overwhelmingly voted for by the American people. Watch.

Tear gas, chemical weapons, rubber bullets, masked men carrying semi automatic rifles and instruments of war as they intimidate, harass and assault. These hallmarks of a war zone seen on movie screens have no place in an American city, much less at a daycare center, courthouses in our neighborhoods, or outside our children's schools. Today my office is taking significant action to put an end to federal agents lawlessness in the state of Illinois.

A (36:26)

Well, that's Kwame Raul. Kwame Raul, the Attorney General of Illinois, I mean attorney general of any state or country for that matter, is the top law enforcement officer in that state or country. And this guy has got a problem with removing illegals who are here illegally. All you need is need to know about the Democrat party, the party of lawlessness. Love moments like this one. Right after Amy Klobuchar joined Anderson Cooper to talk about her state's ridiculous lawsuit against DHS and so on, he turned right around to their legal Analyst Ellie Hoenig, who rightfully put this nonsense where it belongs, in the trash heap.

E (37:02)

Former federal prosecutor, CNN senior legal analyst Ellie Honig is here.

A (37:06)

I mean, does this lawsuit have any chance of doing anything?

B (37:09)

No, I don't think so. What they're asking the state of Minnesota.

A (37:13)

Is asking a federal judge to throw.

B (37:15)

ICE out of the state and to.

A (37:16)

Prohibit ICE from enforcing federal law in the state. There's simply no precedent for that.

B (37:21)

These lawsuits, Illinois and Minnesota both filed similar lawsuits, have no precedent cited in there.

A (37:27)

To do that would violate the Supremacy Clause. No precedence means ain't going anywhere in the courts. Joy Reid, wearing a sweatshirt that tries to fit as many woke isms on it as she possibly can, made sure to jump into the anti ICE fray with her very special brand of race baiting.

B (37:44)

This woman was part of a group.

A (37:45)

Of people who they trained to try to be ICE interrupters. And what they try to do is observe what ICE is doing, film them and try to use their white privilege. To be honest. They're mainly white people, which is what we ask. Which is what we ask them to do, right?

D (38:00)

Yeah.

A (38:00)

Because black people, like, we can't get on. We can't put our bodies on the line because cops will shoot us. And so the presumption had been particularly a white woman. Because remember, part of the rationale for doing this with ICE is to save white women, pristine white women from being ravaged by, you know, criminal brown men. So they, white women have been taking the lead in being the ones to step. If, if I'm Christy Noem Holman and whatnot, I pull that, that sound bite from the joyless Joy Reid because she called this woman an ICE interrupter. Call it what you want. If you call him an ICE interrupter, that by definition is illegal. You cannot interfere with a federal agents doing its own job. You can't be a nice interrupter. You can be a peaceful protester over there, but once you step into the mix, you're breaking the law. And I would use that soundbite against those sobs. Speaking of race baiting, let's get right to it. Jasmine Crockett. Our favorite, our favorite dummy in D.C. is Texas Congresswoman who's now trying to be Texas senator and straight up insults her own state. How exactly is it work when she is trying to get votes? Now, some people get a little funny when you start talking about race, but this is real. There was a Trump appointed justice.

C (39:14)

I testified because I had already sued the state of Texas because Texas is racist.

A (39:20)

Yeah, people of Texas, you be very Very careful about electing that woman. You can stick her in the district. By the way, you'll get redistricted anyway. Right out of your job. You can't let this. When we get into the Senate, U.S. senate. That is a big, big mistake. Far left alliance is in full force with Pocahontas coming out to make sure that everyone knows that she thinks that New York Mayor Zoran Mandani is on the right track when he pushes impossible socialist dreams that will only send the Big Apple right into the ground. Into a fiery socialist garbage heap. It's already garbage heap, but now be a socialist garbage heap.

C (39:55)

We are not short on good ideas. And to win, every Democrat should be.

A (40:02)

Proposing concrete plans for lowering costs.

C (40:08)

Sorren Mamdani came from nowhere and took.

A (40:11)

Down a political dynasty.

C (40:14)

How he ran a campaign tightly focused on the cost of living with easy to understand platform.

A (40:22)

Free buses, freeze the rent and deliver no cost child care. Unfortunately, Pocon. It's Elizabeth Warren. You're supposed to be educated. That's not how you lower costs and prices. You don't lower costs and prices by giving stuff away for free. That's how you raise it because demand spikes up because it's free and everyone, no one can get it. So you have need more and more and more and then you can never afford it. So you lower costs and prices by adding supply. Demand's always going to be there. You add supply and the way you do that is allow people to drill more oil, allow people to frack for natural gas. You lower the price because you put more supply on the market. Allow people to do business in your state, lower your business regulations, lower your taxes. Creates more supply of whatever the businesses are in for your state or your city. That's how supply and demand curves work. When you artificially move them, like giving stuff away for free, you screw up the whole thing and it ends up a disaster. Socialism slash communism has killed over a hundred million people in this world. Look it up. Killed 100 million. They starved to death. They starved to death under communism and they'll do it again. New York's going to starve. When Pocahontas isn't idealizing socialist policies, she's telling lies. Elizabeth Warren and her fellow comrades really do think Americans are stupid. After Obamacare, which is a disaster which she herself voted for, made health care costs go so high, she's still towing the party line of BS that some are Republicans are the ones responsible for massive mistakes. Republicans and Democrats can come together to form a health care plan.

C (41:58)

It's up to the Republicans, Democrats have made clear we want to lower health care costs for Americans.

A (42:05)

Republicans passed a law last July that.

C (42:09)

Raised those costs for Americans.

A (42:10)

And so far they've reduced. Refused to back off that. So as the Republicans, we're still in this fight all the way to lower health care costs. Man, the one claims to be Harvard educated, social. They suck. We'll be back. Two and a half minutes. All right, let me give you some numbers. Because numbers never lie, folks. They can't lie. The Edge launched just over three months ago.

E (43:36)

Yeah, Iran said that the last time I blew him up with the nuclear capability. That. Which they don't have any longer. So Iran said that the last time they better behave.

B (43:47)

Intel stock is really high. After you invested, are you going to.

E (43:50)

Invest more in Intel? I like it so. Well, I don't know about intel, but I'll invest more in other things. So, as you know, intel came to see me. They needed help. And I said, I'll help you, But I want 10% of your company to go to the United States of America. And we made, because of that deal, tens of billions of dollars. The stock. Stock went very up and very high, and we made tens of billions of dollars. We got. They walked away and they gave us a lot of money, but they did a great deal for themselves because their stock has gone up. As soon as we went in, Apple went in, Nvidia went in. A lot of smart people went in. They followed us. So, yeah, we're doing that. We've done other of those deals in Alaska. We did a deal where we got a big piece of A company where we were helping them to get a road. We're the only ones that could have done it. And we said, we want something out of the company for the United States of America. Okay? So I believe in that. We have some other ones that we're looking at. I believe in that. If it's up to us, if they can't do it without us, and then I say, well, we'll do it. If you were a private guy, you'd say, what do we get for doing it Now? I don't want anything for myself. I want it to. I want our country to be rich as hell. But with intel we made billions and billions of dollars. Right.

A (45:05)

Mr. President wanted Iran. You have a message to the leaders currently of Iran?

E (45:10)

Yeah, the message is they've got to show humanity. They've got a big problem and I hope they're not going to be killing people. And I. I'm going to have a report very soon. It would seem to me that they have been badly misbehaving. But that is not confirmed.

C (45:27)

Hostage rescue effort that ended in disaster.

E (45:31)

Well, it was a disaster for Jimmy Carter. They had all sorts of problems and the helicopters were crashing and everything. You know what? It was the exact opposite of Venezuela. Do you agree with that? Do you agree as a reporter, who are you with? Who you with?

C (45:45)

I'm with the Financial Times, sir.

A (45:47)

Oh, good.

E (45:47)

What's a nice paper?

C (45:49)

So are you committing not to sending US troops into Iran?

E (45:53)

Why would I tell you that? I don't talk about military strategy with a reporter, you know, even though I do like the Financial Times. Are you consulting with our allies regarding Iran? What are they telling you and why.

D (46:07)

Do you think the ir.

E (46:08)

Well, I'm not going to tell you what they're telling me. I don't tell you what they. Think they are. It's only been a couple of days. Well, they said that about Venezuela too, you know, it's only been a couple of days. They haven't defied me. They haven't done anything as far as we're concerned. But it looks like they're killing a lot of people. But it has not been confirmed. I'll know very soon. Who said that. Well, that's their problem. That's their problem. I disagree with him. I don't know who he is, don't know anything about him. But that's going to be a big problem for him.

A (46:53)

Do you want to see democracy in Iran?

E (46:57)

Ideally you'd like to see it, but what we want to see see is we don't Want to see people killed. And we want to see a little bit of freedom for these people. These people have been living in hell for a long time. You know, that used to be a hell of a country. I have friends that used to invest in Iran and they did well with their investments. It was a great place. The people were great. Even the leadership was good. And now it's living in hell. Thank you very much, everybody.

A (47:25)

All right, there he is, just talking like very, very short. Just landed from Michigan to the Michigan Economic Club. I believe that's what it was. Is he going to get back on this? The price, the affordability message? Again, we use affordability. We use the way we know it. It was unaffordable under Joe Biden. It's become a lot more affordable to live in America, especially for the middle class under President Trump this term. I don't know. Ben, do we have time for one quick voicemail?

B (47:53)

Yeah, we have time for a voicemail.

E (47:55)

We have.

B (47:56)

Paul from Ohio has some questions about the Minnesota ice shooting.

E (48:01)

Hey, Eric, this is Paul from Ohio with this woman that was shot in Minnesota. Why isn't her wife being charged with her death? Because one of us average white guys, if we'd have been committed committing a crime while somebody died, we would have been charged with that person's death. But because she's a liberal white woman, they ain't going to.

A (48:31)

Man, I gotta agree with you. It's. It's really blatantly obvious that most of these agitators that we're seeing are, are white people. A lot of the white women, you know, what's, what's the story here? I can only assume that they're being paid very well by the groups that finance the disruption, the. Let's call it the. The trying to divide the country along political lines. And for some reason we just showed you earlier, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, other Democrats have always been at least hard on illegal immigration. Maybe not hard on other types of, but they've always been hard on illegal immigration. Yet now, if you put those. Jimmy Kimmel or whatever, those knuckleheads at late night, sometimes they go out in the street and they read something and they attribute it to Trump, and then they get the reaction. They go, oh, wait a minute, that wasn't Trump saying that was Barack Obama. And see what happens if you put those words that Barack Obama said attributed to Trump, the liberal left and these lunatics who hate Trump would go apoplectic against it until they hear Barack Obama and then they, they change their tune. I'm just so convinced. This whole immigration drama and ice dramas because people just love to hate on President Trump. All right. Thank you for leaving the voicemails. Next time we'll have a few more that got a little interrupted by the President arriving in D.C. have a great night. Have a great war room. Warm is coming up next. Always keep it right here on RAV24. Seven, top to bottom. We'll see you again tomorrow. Bowling. We are out for today. This is an I heart podcast. Guaranteed human.
