Everybody. Welcome to Vince on a Friday. It is good to have you with us. We've got a big show ahead. We have to figure out what is going on in a major American city, Portland, Oregon, a place a scene of chaos, where the left continues its siege night after night on an ice facility. But what are local law enforcement doing? What are the cops doing in that community? One would think that they want the help of the feds to enforce the law, but what we've seen is anything but law enforcement from the Portland Police Department. We'll get into all of that coming up on this program. Some breaking news overnight on that subject. We'll explore it together. All ahead on this edition of VINCE I want to thank the great sponsors who make this program possible each and every day.

And try as we might to rescue it, it seems like everybody community who is in charge of trying to bring about safety is actually more interested in provoking chaos. And that is unfortunate. All the way from the governor who looks like Keith Olbermann to the ridiculous mayor of Portland, Oregon down to the chief of police of the Portland Police Department, it seems like they don't want help. They prefer chaos and they'd like the rest of us to stop paying attention to them. Well, I gotta tell you, you're part of America. And President Trump is interested in restoring peace in every city in America. He's doing it right now in Memphis, Tennessee and he's trying to do it in Portland, Oregon in particular to defend the ICE facility where they are processing illegal aliens they're taking into custody and getting them out of the country. But it's not without difficulty. The ICE facility there in Portland continues to be attacked, rioted at, laid under siege with each passing night by leftists over and over and over again as Antifa continues to cause trouble there. And that's why you have the federal law enforcement going in to try and put a stop to all of that. But last night we had an update on this story and it's not that that Portland police are helping anything, instead is that they've placed journalist Nick Sortor under arrest. Nick Sortor is a America loving, peace loving, decent human being who brings so much of this chaotic footage to the rest of us because the legacy press won't. So Nick does it. Nick goes out night after night and captures what's happening for real on the ground in America's cities and shares it with the rest of us. And Nick was doing that last night. And while he was doing that, he was attacked by the mob. He was attacked by Antifa. Here he is last night. Cut five. Here's Nick Sortor being surrounded by the mob. Take a look at this and you'll see him. He's in a gray hoodie. For those of you watching rumble.com Vince, he's in a gray hoodie surrounded by the mob. He's got a kind of a colorful light reflecting off of him. I think that's just his own personal video light. That was, that was hit into a different mode. Normally he uses it just to illuminate the scenes that he's looking at, I can tell. And the mob there keeps encroaching on him, getting close to him, shoving him. So that's the experience he was having last night in Portland, Oregon. And this video captured from an elevated position by it looks like Honey Badger mom who shared it on X. So that's what Nick was dealing with last night. So you wonder after seeing footage like that, what in the world could have led to Nick being placed under arrest? Because that is what we ended up with. Here's the footage last night of Portland police. Cut six, placing Nick Sortor under arrest last night on screen Those of you watching on the video show seeing Nick now being placed in handcuffs, surrounded by Portland police officers who have him handcuffed. Again, this is just a conservative journalist, decent American. He's a patriot out there on the ground capturing all of this footage being taken into custody. And why. What's the point of this? Why are they arresting that guy? Meanwhile, people were assaulting him last night. Do the math for us, would you? Give us a. Give us a clear understanding of why this man, of all people is being placed under arrest. So there's Nick. That Nick, of course, ending spending some of the night in custody last night with the Portland Police Department. Now look, in Portland, he. There was a. There's a lot going on there. Not only was he placed under arrest last night, not only was he assaulted, but earlier in the evening, you should know Nick actually worked to keep an American flag from being fully engulfed in flames. He was rescuing an American flag. Last night, one of the lunatic antifa protesters lit an American flag on fire. And you see here, Nick on the video footage grabs the American flag, he puts the flames out, and then he picks up the American flag and he carries it away from the terrorists who are trying to burn the stars and stripes. So all Nick was doing last night was endless acts of heroism and journalism. He was doing exactly what we want, ladies and gentlemen. How did that guy end up in handcuffs last night? So that's. That's the. That's the story. One last piece here from Nick. Nick, last night, in addition to putting out the American flag, also captured this great footage. To the extent that any law enforcement was happening in Portland yesterday, it was at the hands of federal law enforcement. You see at the ICE facility, you've got federal law enforcement protecting it from the ICE guys. And look at this video. Boom. An I. An antifa guy gets tackled to the ground by federal law enforcement. Hands placed behind his back. They hogtie this guy. They. They carry him. A couple of these guys, they just pick this. This little dude up and they carry him back into the facility. They detain him, they arrest him, they process him. And so look, if you want law enforcement in Portland right now, then mess with ice, mess with federal law enforcement and you're gonna get truck sticked, which is what happened last night. And again, Nick Sortor doing great journalism last night, he wasn't out there to cause trouble. He was there to document the trouble. He was there to stop people from lighting American flags on fire. And yet somehow he's the guy who ends up with handcuffs on him from the Portland Police Department now in the saga of Nick Sortor. We have some updates for you this morning that have been given to us by Bill Malusion at the Fox News Channel. And Bill's a great reporter. Bill's been all over this. He said this morning that he spoke with Nick this morning by phone and after he was released from custody and he asked him, you know, what happened? What were you charged with? What even happened? He says he was getting video of protesters who were getting maced by federal agents last night, which was embarrassing video for the protesters as they were crying. He says they then swarmed, that is the antifa rioters, the terrorists. They swarmed and surrounded Nick and they pushed him down into a flower bed and somebody threw a punch at Nick. Nick says at that point he swung back and he missed and then he disengaged from the crowd and he walked over to a group of Portland police officers. That may be the footage I just showed you a moment ago. He says he was then shocked to be arrested by Portland police. And then he sat in the back of a police cruiser while the officers figured out what to charge him with. Apparently a female protester was also arrested with him. He said he talked to her in the jail. She didn't seem like she was the one who assaulted him. But he was charged with disorderly conduct last night. For what? For defending himself as he, as he was being assaulted by antifa rioters. Now, Bill also offered this update this morning saying that additionally that that Nick has been not just released from custody, but that he'll be speaking with Bill Malusion some more. So we expect more commentary from, from Nick Sortor. And I'm looking to have a conversation with Nick too. I want to find out what's going on here as he deals with this, this garbage in Portland. Now Nick is not the only journalist to have to deal with this in Portland this week. There's another story that I've been talking about with you, but I want to show you some footage now to support what's going on. Katie Davis Court is a great journalist who's been covering all of this, this chaos in Portland as well. And earlier this week and she writes, she does work for the Post Millennial. Earlier this week she was assaulted by an antifa rioter who took a flagpole and struck her directly in the face and gave her a pretty nasty black eye in the process. Here is here's footage. This is journalist Katie Davis Court Cut nine being assaulted by antifa rider earlier this week. So she's walking through the street here, the antifa rider takes a flagpole, clocks Katie in the head as Katie's just trying to capture footage, strikes her in the face. The effect of that is the rioter left Katie with a really substantial black eye. And then in the video footage, you see that the rioters continue to attack anybody who tries to stop this, including there's a big guy who looked like he was there to protect Katie and trying to stop these rioters from doing any more damage. And the rioters start hitting him with, like, things like plastic lightsabers and all their stupid toys that they have with them as he tries to protect Katie from any further assault. But this is what's happening on the streets of Portland. And notice that there's no law enforcement to be seen. You don't see cops out there putting an end to this. There's no Portland police department attempting to stop these assaults from happening. It's just happening. And poor Katie gets struck in the face. And so what ends up happening is Katie then follows her assailant, this. This little dumpling of a chick who struck her with the flagpole. They're following her through the streets of Portland. And Katie hails a police officer over and says, hey, there's the woman who assaulted me. Please help me place her under arrest, would you? Because I was just assaulted. And it's not like Katie has to go out of her way to prove it. She's got a gash underneath her eye. She's got a black eye as a result of being struck by this flagpole. Here is. Here's some video footage I'm going to take you through now. This is Katie Davis Court walking alongside some feckless Portland police department officer who is not making an arrest of her assailant. Look at this. Cut 10. Here's Katie trying to get that to happen. This is Katie following her assailant through the streets. Now, who's got a compatriot? They're both masked up. They're wearing all black. They've got their faces covered. So we're gonna see if anything happens. She's got the police guy following. We're gonna see if anything happens. The police officer just continues to walk with her for blocks. And then you see in the footage, he walks up to the assailant, ever so, you know, a little faster pace now. And he taps her on the shoulder. Yes. Jansport backpack. That one. Her. Do not touch me. Which one? He says, this one. I am not. I just said that you are. And she says, don't touch me. I am Underage. Do not touch her. Do not touch me. And then the girls, the two, one of the, the assailant walks across the street. The police officer does nothing. He doesn't stop her. She just keeps going. So for a moment, he puts his hand on her shoulder. Nothing. And then she just walks off. And the rest of the video footage is Katie Davis Court following this chick by herself until she ends up at some weirdo homeless encampment or whatever that Antifa has set up. Disappears into it. And poor Katie has no recourse whatsoever. Nothing. Nothing. So actual assaults happening on the streets of Portland, Oregon. No consequences for the assailants. And Katie Davis Court is being subjected to this kind of harassment and assault. And even at the moments where cops know the suspect, nothing. Pathetic reaction by the police officer in this video. Yeah, chat saying useless loser cop says Lynn359. Wow, pathetic. Says Cowie's 63603. So yeah, no, totally pathetic. I see this video and I'm like, this is, this is crazy to me. This is crazy. And that cop does nothing. What was he scared of? The two little, you know, fat chicks who were going to assault him if he tried to take one of them into custody? Come on. The whole thing is so crazy. So, so what is going on here exactly? How is it? What is what? Portland police doesn't want to do their jobs. Is that what's happening? What is this? Well, let me take you a little bit further. The Portland police chief is a fellow called Bob Day. Bob Day. Have you heard this guy yet? He's a whiny little dude. He's, he's out of control. He's the Portland police chief. And earlier this week he was complaining that the Trump administration is trying to restore order in Portland. He's upset that the Trump administration has deployed federal, federal law enforcement to, to stop Antifa from laying siege to ICE facilities from, to stop Antifa from obstructing ICE from doing its job. So here's the Portland police chief Bob Day this week. Take a look. Cut 11. Complaining that the Trump administration is doing anything to bring about a peace in an American city.

B
Watch emphasize this is one city block. City of Portland is about 145 square miles. This is one city block. And even the events that are happening down there do not rise to the level of attention that they are receiving. We are seeing this true for our society in whole. I'm not gonna try and editorialize too much, but these 32nd, 22nd, 15 second clips, clips that are brought in from months ago or Maybe even years ago. We've seen Portland portrayed through the events of the lens of 20 and 21. And what's actually happening in the response that we're seeing both from Portlanders and from the Portland Police Bureau is not in line with that national narrative.
- [16:02]
A
Yeah, no, this is not that big of a deal. I don't even know what people are complaining about. Why is federal law enforcement here? We don't need the National Guard. Portland doesn't need any help. Get the hell out of our city. That's the position of the Portland police chief. This is. People are being assaulted in the city, all over the place, and especially right next to that ICE facility, and he's doing nothing about it. What a disgusting, disgusting display from a man whose job is to protect that city. So that's what they have at the leadership of that police department. That's, that's Portland Police Chief Bob Day. And then. So what do I think about this? What do the ICE agents think about what they have to deal with right now and how little support they're getting from the local police department led by that police chief? Well, we've got the, We've got the head of, of ICE in Portland talking about this very thing. Her name is Camilla Wamsley. That's her name. Great name. Camilla Wamsley. She's the head of ICE in Portland and she says that it is, it is a complete tragedy what's going on. In fact, ICE agents are witnessing assaults taking place across the street from the ICE facility. And they can't do anything about it because ICE agents can only enforce federal law. Their jurisdiction is not local law enforcement. So unless there's a federal nexus, they can't intervene across the street from the ICE facility on Portland property. That's the Portland Police Department's responsibility. And ICE agents are being driven out of their minds by the lawlessness that's going on around them that's making this facility way less safe. Listen to the ICE director. Cut 12. Talking to Bill Malusian this week from FOX about what's happening.
- [17:45]
C
They're not really supposed to respond to this building. There have been folks that have been assaulted right down here on the street, even across the street, and it takes Portland police a while to respond, or sometimes they don't respond at all.
- [18:01]
D
Is that frustrating?
- [18:02]
C
It is frustrating. It's frustrating for us to watch people be attacked on the street and know that we don't have the authority to be able to, to really step in unless there's some nexus to federal law. That's frustrating for us.

A
Oh my God. Oh, my God. What a nightmare. What a complete nightmare. In Portland, Oregon. So let me get this straight. Antifa can do whatever it wants. Conservative journalists are being assaulted and nobody's being arrested who assaults them. Conservative journalists are defending themselves from being assaulted, and the conservative journalist is the one who's arrested. ICE agents are witnessing assaults taking place across the street from their facility. The Portland Police Department is not making arrests during those attacks. And the police chief is angry that the feds are protecting their property, which is being used to deport illegal aliens from the United States. Am I missing anything here? Portland is lawless. Portland, Oregon is a lawless hellhole right now because of Democrats and because of that police chief in Portland. In a moment, I want to talk to you about what should be done here, what can be done here about Portland, Oregon. We've got, we've got a lot to get to on the program. A lot to get to on the program. But I do think that the president has some options here. Let's see if he can take them. More ahead here on the Vince show on Vince. The Vince Shows. The radio show. Vince is the name of the podcast. I confused them, but whatever, it doesn't matter. Great to have you here as always. You're the best audience anywhere. Hey, doctors call it weight cycling. Half of Americans do it. And if you do it enough well, it puts you at risk. You're at risk of diabetes, liver damage, heart attack, stroke and weight cycling is when you lose 10 or more pounds and then gain it back. And this can lead to some very serious health issues. The bottom line is this, most people need help to stop weight cycling. And here's a great way to do it. Non prescription Lean by Brickhouse Nutrition Created by doctors, Lean is an oral supplement, not a GLP1 injectable. It studied ingredients target weight loss in three powerful ways.

And it's not a substitute or alternative for care from a health care Provider again, promo code vince@takelean.com. all right, all right. So what can be done about this? Well, look, one thing I'm telling you for sure is the president should just keep doubling down. The president should send in as many federal law enforcement as he can possibly summon, get them in there and crack down on all of this. You know, Antifa has already declared them a terrorist organization. Treat them like a terrorist organization. Place people under arrest for participating in this terrorism. You want a federal nexus, you've got one. Go after these people. These assaults can't stand. This can't happen at all. Journalists deserve to be protected. They don't deserve to be attacked. There's all sorts of civil rights violations going on here and the police are letting it happen. They're enabling it. And that brings me to my next point about what might be possible with the feds. I hope the United States Department of Justice explores a patterns and practices investigation into the Portland Police Department. Harmony Dillon is a hero. She leads the civil Rights division for the United States Department of Justice. And among the things she's doing this week is she is launching an investigation into the Des Moines School board for its hiring practices and whether or not they're based on racial prejudice. If Harmey Dhillon and the Civil Rights division of the Justice Department can establish any predicate whatsoever to investigate the Portland Police Department, I think they should think about it. For years, the United States Department of Justice has launched investigations into normal police departments led by the left. They've, they've launched investigations into normal police departments for just doing their jobs, accusing them of racism, for arresting bad guys, and then they lock up those police departments and then they, they lead. They bankrupt them. They, they basically inflict misery on police departments in order to advance left wing policy agendas that in the end don't make communities safer, but instead hurt police departments in the advancement of a left wing political agenda. It's awful stuff. Luckily, Harvey Dillon's a real human being, a real civil rights attorney, a real civil rights heroes, somebody who's in the right job. Again, what I'm witnessing here is lawlessness in Portland. Journalists being attacked, the First Amendment being infringed, journalists being arrested for doing their jobs despite the fact they were only defending themselves. In the case of Nick Sortor, they weren't leading an assault. It sounds to me like there's a massive civil rights violation going on here, so maybe the civil rights division can get involved. Something needs to be done. I'm tired of feeling helpless. I'm tired of feeling like There is no recourse. Nothing can be done here. So I am in the do something phase. Do something. Portland's an American city, despite the fact that the left wants to pretend like it's some sort of autonomous zone that's out of our reach. It shouldn't be. Americans live there. Americans should be able to, you know, live there with safety. And the federal government should exert every resource possible to restore order in that city. It has to be done. It has to be. So we'll keep our eyes on Portland, Oregon. That story, to me, has been among the most frustrating to watch this happen and to see this lawlessness take place. And I guarantee you the President of the United States is infuriated about this. If. If anything good can come of all of this. The attacks on Katie Davis Court and Nick Sortor this week, hopefully, are in front of the President's eyeballs right now and serve as the kind of inducement to restore order in that city. You know, we're already seeing it in Memphis, Tennessee. I told you yesterday all about Memphis. You know, Memphis, Tennessee, that's a whole of community response there, where you've got the governor working with the President. The president has sent in the National Guard. They're making all sorts of arrests right now to restore order in a very violent city. Heck, the residents of Portland. I spoke to a guy yesterday from Memphis, Tennessee, on my radio show. He called in to say, vince, we love it. We love what President Trump is doing to save this community right now. We want so much more. Please keep doing this. There are local restaurants right now in Memphis, Tennessee, who are giving free meals to the National Guard because they support the National Guard. They want these guys in the community. And in fact, actually, why I'm saying, while I'm saying this, I should name the restaurants, because I want you to know the names of these restaurants. If you're in the Portland area, I mean, excuse me, in the Memphis area, please patronize these restaurants. Give them some attention. Let me see here. I've got. I've got these guys. Citizens for Sanity has shared this. Take a look here. If you're on the video, the podcast, you can see it. But I'll just tell you what it's called. The Rum Boogie Cafe on Beale street in Memphis is supporting the National Guard. They're giving complimentary pulled pork sandwiches with a side to all National Guard members who are deployed to Memphis. Thank you for your service. It's our honor to serve you. Please, if you are in Memphis, if you are, if you're even, if you even go into the city, stop by the Rum Boogie Cafe, enrich these guys for what they're doing. They're helping out the National Guard. They're grateful to have the support. And then there's also Mortimer's Memphis, which is, which is also great. Take a look here. Mortimer's Memphis. Mortimers is offering free plate lunches to any National Guardman Guardsman deployed to Memphis as a locally owned business that has been in this wonderful city the last 44 years. We're happy to welcome you. Thank you for helping make Memphis safe again. There's Mortimers. So great places help these local businesses. Mortimers and Rumbug Cafe. My guess is that there are other businesses and by all means, if you are a business who's doing something like this, get in touch with me, let me know inside my, my, my messaging on my website or let me know on social media and I'll try and give you a hat tip and let let our audience know about this because these guys are great. These are patriots who are standing up for their communities. And by the way, in Portland, if there's businesses who are doing this too to support federal law enforcement, please for the love of God, let me know about you because these need to be whole of community responses here. We should be supporting peace. We should be supporting our communities. The people who live in these communities need to be rescued. And I'm grateful for anybody who's playing a role in that. So thank you, thank you to those businesses for doing that. All right, in a moment, the threats to ICE continue to proliferate. We just saw an attack in Dallas, a terror attack, a shooting on that ICE facility. And the Trump administration has gone after the ways in which these ICE facilities are being attacked. They're trying to stop all of this from happening. I've got some good news to share with you in that effort. That's ahead on this edition of vince. Also, the government shutdown continues. The president would like to use it to make the government more efficient. Boy, I'd like to see him do that too. I've got updates on that story, all ahead on the program. But let me ask you something first. How much time do you spend every day on a web browser? How much time do you spend clicking around on the Internet, searching, scrolling, typing, endless tabs?

So ICE has been under assault, straight up a terror attack last week in Texas. And here's some good news this morning about the effort to get this under control. Ice, the United States Department of Justice has successfully been able to get Apple, the. The. The company, you know, the iPhone company, to remove apps from their store that track the location of ICE agents. Now, why did it take this long to do this? This is great news. DOJ officials, at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi asked Apple to take down ICE Block. That's what the name of the app is. A move that comes as Trump administration officials have claimed that the tool, which allows users to anonymously report ICE agents presence, puts agents in danger. It does. It's not just that they're claiming it. It does put agents in danger and helps shield illegal immigrants, illegal aliens. Pam Bondi saying to Fox, quote, we reached out to Apple today demanding they remove the ICE Block app from their app store, and Apple did so. ICE Block is designed to put ICE agents at risk just for doing their jobs. And violence against law enforcement is an intolerable red line that cannot be crossed. This Department of Justice will continue making every effort to protect our brave law enforcement officers who risk their lives every day to keep Americans safe. You know the guy who attacked the Dallas ICE facility last week, Remember, he was firing from a rooftop position. These, These. These lefty terrorists, they love their rooftop positions, don't they? He was firing from a rooftop position and indiscriminately into the side of this ICE building. And he. At one point, he sees an unmarked ICE van and he just begins firing into it, hoping, as they later discovered based on all of his writings, that he was hoping he would be striking ICE agents. He was trying to kill ICE agents. This cruel idiot killed a couple of detainees instead and. And. And wounded another who were inside the vehicle. And the ICE agents reacted with complete heroism. They. They rushed the detainees out of the line of fire. They were going into the car to try and rescue everybody, and they were dealing with this utter chaos that, of course, they did not expect to befall the ICE facility in Dallas. But what authorities discovered is that this terrorist used the ICE location app as a part of his reconnaissance effort ahead of the attack. He was trying to figure out where our ICE agents at, clearly, because he wanted to terrorize them. And so the Trump administration rightly approached Apple and said, what are you doing? All this is used for is to break the law. What other purpose does this app have, it's just a law breaking app. Either it's to keep illegal aliens from being taken into custody, or it's being used to help terrorists attack ICE agents. So why do you have this up on your, on your store? Apple. Apple has pulled it down. It's. It should have happened a long time ago, but thanks to Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice, they have pulled this app down. And that's very, very good news and hopefully can preclude any more of these terrorist attacks on ice. But I mean, let's be honest, we're watching as ICE agents and their facilities continue to remain under siege with each passing night. So the threats continue here. This is a tough situation that these guys are dealing with at the hands of the radical left, big time. Now these, these attacks, as I, as I point out, continue these, these lefty attacks. I've got an update on another lefty terrorist attack today. I'll get back to illegal immigration stuff in a moment. But you know that the man who tried to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh, he's due for sentencing this morning. On Friday morning. His, his sentencing is coming through. His name is Nicholas Rosky. And remember in 2022, he showed up outside of Justice Brett Kavanaugh's home and he had all of the implements necessary, at least in his deranged mind, to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh. He had the gun. He had implements to break into the house. He had his feet padded up to make them make his footsteps softer. And today we reached the sentencing phase. And as I, as I told you last week, one of the wild updates to this story is that this guy says that he's transgender. So, yes, another mentally ill lefty who thinks he's a woman who led this attack, another transa attack against, against normal people, against conservatives, against justice. Brett Kavanaugh in this case. And that leads us to this crazy New York Times report today on the sentencing. I was, I was, I was doing all my prep today. I'm reading through, you know, I click on all the various news outlets and the New York Times has this one for you today. Get a load of this craziness. It's amazing. It's like, Vince, why are people so misled? I don't know. One of the dominant newspapers in our country continues to, to, to fill the eyes of its readers with horseshit. Look at this. As political violence rises, Justice Kavanaugh's would be assassin to be sentenced. And then we get right away to the, to the first paragraphs of this thing. The person who pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh of the United States Supreme Court in 2022, will be sentenced on Friday morning at a federal courthouse in Greenbelt, Maryland. Prosecutors have asked that Sophie Rosky. Sophie Rosky be sentenced to at least 30 years in prison for attempting to commit pre planned cold blooded murder and to change through violence the workings of the judiciary. Ms. Rosky, 29, was charged under her legal name, Nicholas J. Roski. In September, her attorneys disclosed to the court that she is transgender and now uses the name Sophie. This is the paper of record, the New York Times, that's what they call it. The old gray lady, the old gray transgender lady is insisting that the murderer is actually a woman. Now, if federal prosecutors are successful here, they say that he, Nicholas Roski, is looking at 30 years in prison. Thirty years. Now, they, they do go through the, the sequence of events that led to his arrest. In the early hours of June 8, after getting out of the taxi, he received a phone call from his sister that caused him to change his mind. Now, by the way, I'm reading this from the New York Times and they have her and she and all this stuff. I'm, I'm trying to ground this in reality again, he told investigators. Rather than approach the justice's house, near which he had noticed a protective detail of U.S. marshals, Rosky dialed 911 and turned himself in. Turned himself in. And so now, as a result of all of that, he's in custody and they're looking at 30 years in jail. But look, here's, here's the thing. Will this dude serve his time in a men's prison? He'd better. You're not going to send another dude into a woman's prison. That's insane. And that's obviously what his attorneys want. Send him to a female prison. Go ahead. That's what they want. No, don't play these stupid games. And the New York Times. Times is breathing life into these stupid, destructive games. No, no. If you're going to do time, if you can do hard time, you'll do it with the people who share your gender. That's the way we do this. We do sex segregated prisons. So, yes, you'll, you'll be with the men. That's where you need to be. Insanity. The insanity just continues. They say in the New York Times piece. In case you were wondering what, what leads to all of this? According to filings by the lawyers, by his lawyers, and by prosecutors, Nicholas Rosky was a high achiever in high school, an honor student and An Eagle Scout who struggled with his mental health as a young adult. No kidding. In a court filing, his lawyers said that his parents, whom he described in a letter to the court as, quote, conservative Christian parents who loved me and still love me, were bewildered by his mental health struggle. According to filings from his attorneys, they responded to one suicide attempt by convening a prayer group that decided that he had been, quote, driven by satanic forces. Now, the New York Times dismisses this. I think they're kind of treating this dismissively as like, oh, isn't that awful that somebody would say this? But what do you think this is? What, what else would this be? Ladies and gentlemen, we are in a spiritual war. Clearly, there are demonic influences on people who become convinced that they were born in the wrong body and then try and harm themselves and others. And the left has. Has breathed life into this forever. We shouldn't do that. We need to stop this before it goes as far as it's. Americans are decent people, they're empathetic people, and they don't want to see this happen. And you know, this guy, he tried to assassinate a sitting United States Supreme Court justice by his own admission, and he needs to serve time for that. But we need to stop letting the left play this game. And even to this very day, with a would be assassin, the New York Times is still playing stupid games and, and, and breathing life into that kind of poison and that. And I can't even tell you how many times does the word her. Let me see. I'm gonna look for it. The. The word her appears 30 times in this New York Times piece. The word she appears 24 times. 54 references to this guy as a female in one New York Times article. That's nuts. And it's going to get more people hurt. Actually, it's going to get more people hurt. How many of these assailants, how many of these assassins are guided by this transgender ideology? The attack on the Covenant School. Transgender. The idea I get. The attacks are endless. The assassination of Charlie Kirk was guided by. In. In small part, at least. Not. Not a small part. It seems like a major part, actually, this transgender ideology. This dude was dating another dude who they were pretending was a transgender woman, and then attacked Charlie, killing him. And the person who tried to assassinate Brett Kavanaugh, again, transgender delusions. This is a dangerous mental illness, a very dangerous mental illness, and it's high time we treat it that way. And we shouldn't let people get to that level. We need to help them before they do. Wild all right, let me, let me get to some of the other things going on. We've got the government shutdown now in its third day. And the President of the United States just did an interview with One America News. And during the interview, he was asked by the reporter about firings, about, you know, to what extent will the government shrink in size as a result of this government shutdown? Because the president does have a real opportunity here. You know, while the government is shut down. He has extraordinary powers. Russ Vogt, the head of the Office of Management Budget, has extraordinary powers to shrink the government. And please, President Trump, please, please, please answer our prayers here. This is why I voted for you. This is one of the reasons I vote for, voted for you to shrink down a bloated, disgusting, loaded up federal government that's got way too many lefties, inefficient, stealing your money. Get rid of them. Now's your chance. Here's the president on that subject, on the firings that can happen while this shutdown is going on. Cut one, take a look. There was an OMB memo going around suggesting that there might be firings during the shutdown. Do you think that will happen if the shutdown goes for a little bit of time, sir?
- [44:26]
E
Well, there could be firings and that's their fault. And it could also be other things. I mean, we could cut projects that they wanted, favorite projects, and they'd be permanently cut. So you could say a lot of people are saying Trump wanted this, that I wanted this closing and I didn't want it. But a lot of people are saying it because I'm allowed to cut things that should have never been approved in the first place. And I will probably do that.
- [44:50]
A
That. Yeah, yeah. And I will probably do that. Can we move from probably to definitely, please, sir, would you mind, would you upgrade that from probably to definitely? Because this is your big opportunity. In fact, in case you're wondering, is this just something that, that, that President Trump is admitting he can do? Is this just something that Russ Vote is admitting that he can do? Oh, no, no, no. Democrats know it to. How do I know that? Back in March, we had a funding fight that looked just like this. Back in March, we had a, we had a funding fight. And at that time, Chuck Schumer voted to keep the government open. Now, why did he do that? Why did Chuck Schumer cross the aisle to work with Republicans to keep the government open? Well, lucky for us, he wrote about it. He wrote or not? Better. Somebody on his staff did for the New York Times and here's what Chuck Schumer said in March. Ready? Trump and Musk would love a shutdown. We must not give them one. Now why is that? Why doesn't Chuck Schumer want to give us a shutdown? What's the, what's the problem there? And he says the reason he wants to do this is because he can cut the government. He can. A shutdown would give Mr. Trump and Mr. Musk permission to destroy vital government services at a significantly faster rate than they can right now, said Chuck Schumer. This is in March. Under a shutdown, the Trump administration would have a wide ranging authority to deem whole agencies, programs and personnel non essential furloughing staff members with no promise that they would ever be rehired. The decisions about what is essential would be in practice largely up to the executive branch, with few left at agencies to even check it. Mr. Musk has reportedly said he wants a shutdown and may already be planning how to use one to his advantage. I love this. This is great. This is. Schumer should have written this op ed for the rest of us, this is an awesome thing. All right, so tell me more Schumer, what else can we do? Second, he said if we enter a shutdown, Congressional Republicans could weaponize their majorities to cherry pick which parts of the government to reopen. In a protracted shutdown, House and Senate Republicans could bring bills to the floor to reopen only their favored departments and agencies were while leaving other vital services that they don't like to languish. Hello. This is the greatest news ever. So you're telling me that the President of the United States has more power to fire anybody he wants in a government shutdown. And Congress has the power to basically say, hey, that agency sucks. We're not reopening that. The Department of Education, to hell with them. We're not doing that. We can get rid of agencies right now. We can functionally diminish them to nothing right now. Yes, please keep the government shutdown going. Now I say that, and there are some issues here. Obviously one of them is that the troops need to be paid. The troops need to be paid. We've got federal government employees who you and I do care about who need to get paid. The good guys should get paid. But we got to get, we got to burn out the underbrush. We need a controlled burn of the federal government. Get rid of everybody you can get rid of. I'm like you chat, I'm wondering, you know, President, we started this, this government shutdown a few Days ago now. And from the moment it started, I wanted to see the layoffs. I want to see the layoffs right now. So I'm waiting. I'm waiting eagerly to see that headline cross my desk. I know you are, too, which is like, come on, baby, get it going. Just get the layoffs going. Get. If you have extraordinary powers right now, use them. You know, Russ Vote knows he's got the power to do this right now at the Office of Management Budget. He met with the president yesterday. The president even said it yesterday. Remember? He said, I'm meeting with Russ vote of Project 2025 fame about who we're going to lay off in the government. Baby, do it. Stop telling me you're going to do it. Just do it, baby. I voted for this. Please, please, I beg you. I beg you. So Chuck Schumer knows it's possible. He was freaking out about it, and now's our chance. So let's. Let's see it's done. Let's see it get done. Chop, chop, chop, chop. Mr. President, it'd be really nice to celebrate that victory, too. I'd like to stack that on the victory pile. I'm not tired of winning, so I'd like to see more of this, please. Thank you very much. The president also saying during that interview that the reason the Democrats even shut down the government is not because they're fighting for American citizens. There's nothing to do with that. They're fighting for illegals. They want the illegals in the United States of America and they want you, the American taxpayer, to fund the illegals. Here's the president of the United States. Yesterday, one American news cut to.
- [50:01]
E
It's politics and they're doing things and asking for things that you wouldn't want and most people that are sane wouldn't want and patriots wouldn't want. They want illegal aliens to get. Get taken care of with health care. And it's not, look, I have a bigger heart than they do, but it's not even that Everybody in the world is going to enter our country and say, give us free health care. Give us this, give us that. It's going to ruin all of the things that we have, all of the plans that we have. Obamacare was never any good, but it subsists. It's there and everything will be destroyed because no country has enough money to take care of that. So they want the elite illegals.
- [50:40]
A
No country can do this. Why are we doing this? This is how you destroy a country, actually. You open up our borders and you Have a welfare state. That's how you crush a country. You can't do that. You can't have open borders in a welfare state. Not possible. Not possible without the country collapsing in on itself. And thanks to the left, we were sort of ending up with that country, haven't we? So President Trump is trying to fix that. That's why he's deporting so many people right now. That's why he's cutting off all of these benefits for illegal aliens, which is a magnet for more illegal immigration. Forget the debt load that you and I have for the people who are here. The longer these bennies keep being handed out to illegals, the more illegals we're going to get. It's a simple formula. You incentivize that kind of invasion. So President Trump is putting a stop to that. And it's, it's crystal clear what's going on. Uh, Speaker Johnson has been very good on this issue. He said, guys, it's right in the legislation. It's very clear what Democrats are trying to do. They'll lie to life through their teeth about everything but including, and especially this. And Speaker Johnson is explaining here, cut three, that they just want illegals to have health care. There's nothing more to this. And that's the whole reason the government shut down. It's the reason why they won't keep it up open for even seven more weeks.
- [51:52]
D
Here's Speaker Johnson, The Senate Democrats own measure that they filed into the record, their counter proposal, continuing resolution that says all these things. Now, I'm going to, I'm going to tell all your listeners, you can pull this up and go through it yourself. Go to speaker.gov, go to the press release page. You'll see all this. You can, you can access their own legislation, not Republican talking points. I will, I will. I will direct Everybody to page 57 of that document that Chuck Schumer filed and go to section 2141. It says it right there in the black letter. They want to repeal the important changes we've made to the law in the one big, beautiful bill, the working families tax cut. That's where we cut out all the, all the taxpayer funding to illegals. And Chuck Shearman, the Democrats are staking this entire game on their demand for us to unwind that, reverse it and make sure that taxpayer funds go to aliens again. We're not doing it.
- [52:44]
A
Oh, isn't it nice to finally have Republicans all on the same page? It's weird. One of the victories of this moment is that Republicans are demonstrating some unified testicular fortitude. What was the last time we've seen that? You don't get that that often, do you? President Trump had to teach these guys how to do it, which is like, no, no, hold the line. Tell the truth. Do it everywhere. Do it at a high volume. Make sure people know what's on the line here. And they do. And they do. We saw a New York Times survey earlier this week saying that Democrats are the losers in all of this, that people are angry at the Democrats. Don't shut the government down. What are you morons doing? And the only reason we got there is because President Trump is dominating these people. Speaker Johnson is dominating these people. You've got Republicans who are telling the truth, and they're. And they're doing it all over the place. I had Congressman Brandon Gill on the radio show yesterday, and these. He's great. And these guys are just speaking clearly. What do the Democrats want? They want to fund illegals. It's as simple as that. I had Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt on the radio show this week. He said the same thing. And what this is is a blue state bailout. These states are overloaded with illegal aliens. Trump cut off the fleecing of the federal taxpayer. He cut off your money going to illegals. He cut it off earlier this year. And Democrats don't know what to do now. Their state budgets are overwhelmed by illegal aliens taking taxpayer health care. So what do they want? They want federal subsidies. They want money to go into their state to try and help resolve their massive debt loads. Sorry, idiots. You don't get any more money from us. In fact, you want a path out of this. You want a path to fiscal sanity. Deport the illegals. Work with Trump. Deport the illegals, and then you don't have a problem. Then we don't have to get to a place we have to worry about funding illegals. If there's no illegals here, there's nothing to talk about. Get them out of the country, and they want to come back in. Do it the right way. Do it the right way. It's crazy. So the president all over this issue, and thank goodness, now Democrats are still pretending to this very day that that's not what this is about, that they're not trying to fund illegals at all. Democrat Senator Jean Shaheen made a. An unfortunate appearance on the Fox News Channel yesterday, where she insisted. She's like, no, no, no. Nobody in my party is saying that we need to give illegal aliens health care. Nobody really says Lawrence Jones and Then Lawrence Jones played the tape for her where every Democrat in her party raised their hand to say, let's give illegals health care. Take a look. I haven't heard anybody in my party saying that illegal immigrants should get access.
- [55:36]
C
To the health insurance marketplace.
- [55:38]
A
I'm so glad you said that. Actually, I have some tape of your Democratic Party members saying this under the base day. So they've all said, and let's play the clip. Raise your hand if government.
- [55:49]
C
If your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants.
- [55:56]
A
Okay, Senator, that's, that's literally every member of your party, from moderate to more progressive, that have said that in the past. That's literally every member of your party says, from moderate to radical. Every permutation of Democrat insanity on that stage, raising their hand, saying, hey, yeah, no, definitely, I want taxpayer funding to illegal aliens. You know, and, and we're already seeing, we're seeing some of it this week. You saw, you know, Congressman Ro Khanna and then Congressman Panetta. These are Democrats from California, you know, saying, well, yeah, that's true. I guess I, I guess immigrant illegals are getting some funding, but it's a very small amount. You know what that is? You know, we're witnessing right now. If you've been following Dan Bongino for years, you'll be very familiar with something called the Celebration Parallax, and that was created by the great Michael Anton, who's wonderful. And the Celebration Parallax goes like this. That's not happening. And it's wonderful that it is. Sorry, what was that? Say that again. That's not happening. And it's wonderful that it is. In other words, Democrats will lie to you through their teeth about some awful thing that's occurring, and then once the evidence becomes overwhelming that it is occurring, they'll try and convince you. Well, actually, it's a great thing. It's the Celebration Parallax, where now we celebrate this thing. Yeah. And you're. We're watching it. We're on the slide right now where these guys are saying, no, no, that's not happening. We're not fighting for illegal aliens to get health care. And now you got a couple Democrats going, well, we're fighting for some illegal aliens to get health care. It's only a very small amount. By the end of this, it's going to be like, what's wrong with you? You're a bigot. If you don't want to give illegal aliens health care, you're on the road right now, ladies and gentlemen. You're on that same stupid path. Luckily, we've got a good president and our wits about us. Yeah, and nobody's falling for that anymore. Nobody's falling for it. Thank God. Done with that shit. Yeah, we are. Hey, I'm so grateful to you, as always for being here. The best audience anywhere. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Oh, and by the way, if you were wondering where I got this, this awesome hoodie, it's from the. From the Daily Caller.
