And this country has become the greatest nation in the history of the world in large measure because individuals come here and they build better lives for themselves and their families. We need to continue to do that. It's what makes us so strong and so vital. And we should not paint with a broad brush. That's not who we are as a country.

B (6:33)

Yeah, yeah, no, absolutely. People are coming here illegally. Let's not paint them as criminals. If people are coming here as refugees and then turning around and shooting American servicemen, let's not paint them as a broad brush. We need to continue welcoming them to our country. Absolutely the hell not. And that right there was a Democrat representative. But the thing is, it's not just the Democrats. In fact, a Republican congressional candidate in Kentucky just said this after the shooting took place in Washington D.C. i mean.

C (6:59)

We have failed in our obligation to help many of these Afghans who risked their lives and in many case died for the cause of their own country in assistance to the United States. And we owe them to help them get into our country with these visas and the P1 and P2 visas.

B (7:20)

We owe them to help get them into this country. We have an obligation to these people. I'm sorry. No, we don't. Now, before we talk about my thoughts on that, I just want to play this clip because, guys, Lindsey Graham, of course, was on the wrong side of history four years ago as well.

C (7:34)

We're going to get this done. This is the right thing to do. There is no other ending that is acceptable to me. The people who were there with us in the fight that are here in America need to stay. This will be their new home. So we have a moral obligation to these people.

B (7:52)

A moral obligation. Okay, now here's the thing. Like I understand, I understand feeling guilty or empathetic to the Afghans, especially if you share my feeling that we should not have been there fighting anyway, that we left it actually worse than it was before. But that does not mean that too wrongs make a right. That does not mean that we just then bring in tens of thousands of refugees from every country we decide to meddle with. That it should not work that way. We shouldn't get involved in the first place. But there has to be a better solution at the very least. These people actually have to be vetted, which we know was not happening anyway back to that point. This is actually something that Charlie Kirk spoke about back in 2021. He tweeted this. He said, invade the world, invite the world. This is the bipartisan bargain that has been ruling DC for decades. We should accept the zero Afghan refugees into America. Why are Republicans encouraging this mass resettlement into their states? Whose interests are they representing? Certainly not Americans. Certainly not the servicemen that were just shot in Washington D.C. again, this is just a perfect example of toxic empathy. Another example is that it doesn't matter if a criminal has 10 plus priors. We should just, yes, we should go ahead and release him out onto the streets because I'm sure it'll be better next time. And we just wanna be nice Even if that individual has 72 prior arrests, guys, that's just the empathetic thing to do. That is the right thing to do. And yes, I'm not exaggerating. That is a real situation. A man with 72 prior arrest just set a woman on fire on a train. She is now fighting for her life in the hospital where 60% of her body is burnt. But if you all remember the story of Irina Zyrutska, the man who stabbed her on that train had 14 priors. I mean, going back to the national guard being in D.C. in the first place, these right here, these are the types of stories that drove Trump to deploy them in these select U.S. cities. And that now brings us to the second point of today's episode. The violent rhetoric that is most of the time coming from the left. Because how did people, specifically Democrats, respond to Trump deploying these troops? Well, some said that what Trump was doing was actually illegal and they urged servicemen to not obey his orders. What do you think as a lawyer, what do you think the consequences should be for people who are abiding by following these steps from the commander in chief when they seem to be complete overreaches of power? What should the consequences be for servicemen and women simply following orders, doing what the President has asked them to? There should be consequences for doing this. Like, is Jen Psaki out of her mind? I would love to say that that was an isolated comment, an isolated incident, but no, because they went further. They then encouraged violence like Don Lemon did here.

C (10:17)

Black people, brown people of all stripes, whether you're an Indian American or a Mexican American or whoever you are, go out in your place where you live and get a gun legally, get a license to carry legally. Because when you have people knocking on your door and taking you away without due process as a citizen, isn't that what the Second Amendment was written for?

B (10:45)

So in this clip, Don Lemon is literally saying, take up your arms and have it ready to fire against federal troops. That is what he is arguing here. But again, that is not all. One senator said that the National Guard was going to start shooting civilians. CNN called the National Guard troops Nazis. So there you have it. It is incredibly violent rhetoric under the guise of this toxic empathy. I mean, it would be nice if they had that much empathy for, say, the unborn babies, which is what the people at preborn actually do have. And as the left doubles down on abortion, it is time for us to double down on life. Through our partnership with preborn, we can help save babies and support mothers in need. Every Day Preborn's clinics rescue hundreds of babies. Because a mother sees her baby on an ultrasound and hears that tiny heartbeat, her chance of choosing life doubles.

That means twice as many ultrasounds, twice as many lives saved, and twice as many mothers given hope with diapers, car seats, counseling and care for up to two years after they deliver. And maybe you've heard about preborn before and not taken action. Well, now is the time. I've been working with Preborn for years now. I fully endorse their work because I know them personally. They're great people, they do incredible things and their work is so important to help heal our country. And one ultrasound is just $28. And again right now that will be matched.

Now that you've seen those tweets, you've watched those clips, I mean, no wonder an angry, unstable man was moved to literally drive across the country from his home, his home in Washington state to Washington, D.C. to ambush national Guardsmen. But in guys, we're still not done with the story because in response to this tragedy, in response to one National Guardsman now being dead, the second still fighting for his life, Democrats were not quick to condemn the violence and say how awful this was. No, they immediately jumped in to blaming Trump and saying that actually all of this, this awful tragedy is his fault because he put the National Guard in cities like D.C. in the first place. I'm not kidding. Just watch this clip of two people.

C (14:26)

Fighting for their lives, Guardsmen that this president put there. And as I said, I was one that was very vocal against that. Why wasn't the president's first thought, wow, you know, maybe I should reconsider deploying military troops in the nation's capital or in any city, particularly not when they haven't coordinated closely with the leadership of these cities.

B (14:50)

So the point that you're really wanting to make here in the wake of this tragedy is that Trump put them there, that he put them in harm's way, and that this wouldn't have happened if they weren't there. That was Al Sharpton on msnbc. And like, in my mind, that comment, it's like telling a girl who got raped that she was wearing the wrong dress. It's like, oh, well, what was she wearing? Like, that is basically the same disgusting, asinine logic. Now, the more plot answer and reasoning here is that the Democrats have continued to excuse and empower violence against servicemen and excuse and encourage violence just on a whole. And through their toxic empathy, both the left and the right, as you've seen in this episode, have helped overrun our country with refugees and migrants that do not assimilate and quite frankly, hate it here. Now, mix that with a lack of law and order for our own criminals. And that is exactly how we have gotten to the point where we are today. And the unfortunate fact is that we as Americans do not know who is out there roaming our streets. And unfortunately, we cannot trust that the unstable, bad, murderous actors will actually be put away, or that our own politicians will not call for violence against Americans with dissenting views, or that they will not import people who want us dead. That's not just a problem on the left. That is both a left and a right problem. And we also can't just pause immigration from third world countries, Law and order must return and be respected. And remigration, yes, in fact, is necessary. Now, the last thing that I wanna say here, that I've been thinking about as I see all of these stories unfold, and this is just kind of like a tail, in addition to this episode, is that we have become so incredibly desensitized to violence. I mean, if you're scrolling on X, if you're on TikTok, even on Instagram, Facebook, we are all seeing the most horrific things every single day. And it's been that way for years now. But it feels like it's just escalating every single week. From the hits on politicians, to what happened to Irina on the train, to the murder of Charlie Kirk, to now this. We see it all unfold in real time and we are becoming so numb to it. And not just numb, but so many people then brush off all of these instances. Like, my mind goes to Candace and what she's doing right now. And I know there are people that do not like Candace, that don't trust what she's doing. But I want to talk about the fact that she believes there is a real threat against her life. And how do people respond? They mock her when she just watched one of her closest friends get shot in the neck. When we all watch that, she then says, hey, I'm publicizing this because I don't want that to happen to me. I'm publicizing that there might be a hit on me. And people laugh at her and they mock her. I mean, did you forget that somebody was literally arrested by the feds earlier this year for attempting to assassinate her? She has had stalkers show up at her door, move to Tennessee to try and hurt her. This has happened not just to her, but to so many people on the political right. And just because you don't like what she's doing right now, you're laughing at her, you're mocking her. Like, that's just where we've gotten to know. All of this is serious. All of this is disgusting. We cannot become numb to these types of events. It is not normal. This is not what America should be. And Trump had to to take all of this seriously. His base is counting on him. Holiday dinners are great unless you invite the wrong guest. You know the type. They say they're totally American raised. They promise, but something is obviously off. They show up uninvited. They don't really fit in. It's almost like they weren't even born here. And so I personally avoid mystery meat at all costs, especially at holiday dinners. I get actual American raised meat delivered from good ranchers. And right now, you can get $100 off your first three orders when you use my code, Brett.
