No One Is Committed to Getting Our Economy Under Control
"Know, I keep saying this. We got real problems. We've been talking a lot about the border. This week, we also, of course, on this show, talk a lot about the economic picture. The fed is not committed. That's quite evident to fighting inflation in the way that needs to happen in order to get this under control. I mean, even Larry summers, and he's not exactly what you'd call conservative, right? Larry summers. Economist, former president of Harvard University, who was part of the Clinton administration and then part of the Barack Obama administration, treasury secretary of the United States of America. He's been pushing the Federal Reserve to do more. We have a problem and no one's committed to getting it under control.

What's Wrong With Gavin Newsom?
"Gavin Newsom is an absolute disaster when it comes to California. I was sitting there thinking, listen, Gavin Newsom is going to challenge Biden. He's going to be the guy most likely, you know, God forbid of Michelle Obama or somebody pops up on the scene, but I don't really foresee that leaving all of her income and all that kind of stuff behind. Is Gavin Newsom still looking towards The White House? It's really seems hard to fathom. Given how disastrous he is, but maybe people don't understand how disastrous this guy has been. I think they don't. And the press just completely plays along with it. And sadly, even our conservative press over the last month or so, I was basically screaming my head off about something happening here in California. We all know he took off to Mexico when we had these snowstorms about what God ignored was that there was this mountain community outside of Los Angeles, big bear Lake arrowhead area San Bernardino mountains, 21 days these people were snowed in under 12 feet of snow. They normally get maybe 6 feet in a winter. So they have some equipment, but not for 12 feet that fall within 7 days. And people were snowed in. Even when they got the main roads, plowed up there, but then within the communities they couldn't get around. I talked to people who were trying to do relief flights out there like helicopter flights of supplies because grocery stores roofs valid so they couldn't get the supplies from there. And the sheriff wouldn't let them land because it was a disaster zone and they weren't government helicopters, but the government wasn't doing anything. Why? Because San Bernardino county voted to study seceding from California and didn't forget it.

Guest Host Danielle Interviews Filmmaker and Journalist Mike Cernovich
"Delighted to welcome our guest today, Mike cernovich. He's a filmmaker, journalist, commentator on a wide range of topics. He produced the documentary called hoax. Everything they told you is a lie. Mike's one of my favorite Twitter followers to make sure to find him on Twitter or you can also subscribe to his substack. Mike, thanks for joining us. Always a pleasure. Thank you. Yeah, so Mike, I wanted to get your reaction to some of the recent kind of rumblings going on with Trump's arrest and also just how do you feel like a lot of the presidential hopefuls and other people responded to the news. Yeah, the Trump arrest was mishandled by everyone, especially I think desantis, which was unfortunate because I expected him to have better political instincts. The big mistake people are making right now is they're seeing it as Trump's arrest. Whereas most of the country doesn't see it as Trump's arrest. They see it as a way to attack all of Trump supporters. As a way to apply it on equal system of law. For example, I bring up your dad's case a lot. A lot of people don't even know about your dad's kids because he handled it with such grace and moved on with his life, but it still actually probably makes me angrier than it makes him, which is wait a minute. After dinesh for helping a friend's campaign and then Rosie O'Donnell says that she deliberately set illegal campaign contributions and brags about it and then nobody goes after Rosie O'Donnell. So is dinesh, did he commit a crime for giving a friend $10,000? Because nobody understood this stuff at the time. Nobody knew you couldn't do. It's silly. Nobody had any idea even. And then to have the full resources of the law brought on him and then of course the FBI file says he was an anti Obama filmmaker and you think, oh, okay, well that was obvious what would happen there. And then meanwhile, you have Rosie O'Donnell saying, oh yeah, I deliberately send too much money. Hoping that they don't send it back. Okay, so she's an admitted admitted campaign contribution fraud. Admit it. And of course, nothing happens to her.

Caller: We Should Have Prayer Rallies Rather Than Protests
"Is, to me, the brilliant strategy is Carrie leg strategy. She's having a prayer rally right now. And that's what we should do. We should pray rather than protest. Go to a church, say if they went into New York or D.C. and had prayer rallies at churches or cathedrals, how would they say the interaction? These are people praying I'd love to see the TV cameraman. Come in and there's a church people praying peaceful and the FBI or DJ DoJ try to stage some kind of phony insurrection. Well, I'll tell you when you recall that president Obama was the one criticizing people clinging to guns and bibles, it wouldn't surprise me. And again, these are the folks that during COVID wanted to arrest ministers for daring to lead worship, but that's an excellent idea, Pete. Thanks for calling in from central Iowa. Go ahead. Statement. Maybe president Trump should come to Iowa like Carrie likewise. And just stay here. Because it's New York, D.C., California, where all the trouble is. If he would come and die while Carrie would like dead a week ago, down to having part and Des Moines, he could stay, you know, go from the dakotas down through Texas. And he wouldn't have any trouble like he does with New York and D.C..

Attacks Against Trump Won't Stop at Soros-Backed Manhattan DA
"I'm telling you, this all smells like this has been orchestrated by the Biden administration. And we all know who's writing the Biden administration. Just take your pick, Susan Rice. Barack Hussein Obama, somebody's pulling the strings here. Merrick Garland, somebody's telling this district attorney to forge ahead with a case, by the way, that a 7 years old that the federal authorities took a pass on. They looked at all the evidence. They said there's nothing here. As a matter of fact, The Wall Street Journal earlier today and in a staff editorial. An editorial board statement, they said that at worst, this is a misdemeanor. So what is this really all about? What we all know, we all know what this is about. This is about trying to stop president Trump from running for reelection. And if you think this Democrat D 8, who has funded by George Soros to the tune of at least a $1 million that we have been able to verify, if you think it's going to stop with that district attorney, you've got another thing coming. Because the folks in Fulton county, Georgia, the Atlanta area have their own investigations underway, and there are rumors that they may try to indict Trump on the RICO act. It's folks, I'm telling you, these people are unhinged. The downfall of America will be these George Soros funded district attorneys. We've got one here in Memphis, Tennessee. To my knowledge, we're not trying to indict Donald Trump here. I'm rather surprised by that, but there you go.

One of the Greatest Republican Issues of Recent Times
"One of the greatest problems that Republican Party has had in the last 15 years is the line from 2010 and that was that we will repeal ObamaCare. Repeal ObamaCare, repeal ObamaCare. And we kept telling our voters that all through 2011, 12, and so we're going to do this without having a mechanism to do it. And you can go vote in house the House of Representatives to do something, but if it never gets to the Senate and never gets the presidential signature, guess what? It never happened. And so for years, Republicans were able to Nick away at the ObamaCare legislation basically gutting it for a many, many ways. 8 or 9 times that a president Obama actually signed that basically gutted much of the ObamaCare legislation, but we could not tell that to voters on the Republican side because all they heard was repeal ObamaCare. They don't care that it doesn't work the way it should. And it's not as effective as what they had hoped it would be. And but yet it did have enough of an impact in which it changed the whole landscape of healthcare in this country. And when we had the opportunity, we failed.

Bob Frantz on the Epicenter of the Assault on Manhood
"So you described for us this fascinating voyage of yours after 9 11 that you kind of woke up to a new priority and then you did your own research, your own investigation of conservatives, peace through strength, the Reagan model. As such, you probably have an idea as to where the assault on masculinity on manhood comes from, where these ideas such as toxic masculinity come from. There are often options out here, so many things to choose from. The mainstream media, Hollywood, the schools, political parties, in your analysis, as you view this in the last couple of decades, where do you think the epicenter of this assault is? Where is the place where we're most of this is originating? Well, I think clearly it's the globalists. You know, it's coming from outside of this country, but with the willing assistance of those inside this country who want to see this country taken apart and who want to see it destroyed, who want to see a one world government. I'm not breaking any new ground here, especially if not for somebody like you when we talk about what it would take to destroy this country to defeat a two as what did Barack Obama call it fundamentally transform it. And as we all know, you don't fundamentally transform things, which means to change the things that you love. You want to keep the things that you love the way they are. Can you imagine trying to ask a woman to marry you and say, by the way, why don't we get married? I'm going to change you into something else that I like better. That's not going to work. You didn't love her in the first place. There are people in this country who don't love this country, who want to see a changed, who want to see it destroyed and rebuilt in a collectivist type of society, and they're working with global organizations. And I do truly believe that when you think about the Gates family foundation when you think about the World Economic Forum, when you think about the World Health Organization, all of the, you know, the usual suspects that are working to establish a one world government know that this doesn't work without the United States participation in the United States as long as we continue to remain the same civilization that we built or that we started from with again with that super strong building block of the family, we will continue to press on and we will continue to survive. We will continue to thrive.

What Does President Biden Stand For?
"It is difficult for me to express how bad a human being or president is. Because I've never done that, and I have been broadcasting 40 years, democratic presidents, democratic politicians, with whom I differed entirely thought they were making the country worse. Like Barack Obama, nevertheless, it never even occurred to me. To say what I say about the bad person who occupies The White House. It's hard to know what the man stands for since he's so corrupt. And we'll say anything or do anything for political ends. But it is hard to know what he stands for. Because almost everything he does makes this country a worse country. In other words, if we had someone who said, I hate America and I will do whatever I can as president to destroy it, he would do the same thing Joe Biden is doing.

A Lot of People Had High Hopes for Mike Pence... Not John Zmirak
"Lot of people had high hopes for Mike Pence and would disappoint it. I never had the slightest hopes for Mike Pence because back in 2015, at the stream, I wrote a column on how useless he was. Mike Pence had put through a religious freedom bill protecting the rights of Christians to associate and hire people, despite the attacks of the LGBTQ my name is legion movement. In other words, it was a religious freedom restoration act. And what it did was, it said, Christian employers could not be forced to hire people who were advancing openly gay, lifestyles. It said that no federal law mandating gay gay rights could Trump the First Amendment. The Chamber of Commerce in Indiana rebelled. Under the pressure of the gay lobby, the Chamber of Commerce said, oh no, they're going to be boycotts. They won't have college sports games. Indiana will suffer and Pence caved. Penn's caved in a red state of which he was already governor. So I said, okay, this is a weak sister. This is not somebody we need. And when Trump picked and for vice president, I said, oh boy, we are screwed. And then the deep state conducted its coup d'etat against our legitimately elected president. It started during the transition period. When Trump tried to hire Mike Flynn to supervise the deep state to sort of see what they were doing because George Bush trashed the constitution by passing the Patriot Act. It allowed federal intelligence agencies to collude to surveil Americans. It created the kind of joke kangaroo court, the fisa court that would rubber scam, surveillance, and every American on the slightest pretext, Obama, the Obama administration weaponized that and started going after conservatives and Christians using the deep state.

Caller: 'Autistic' Is Not a Way to Describe Donald Trump
"Actually just pick up my daughter who has autism, so I was running a little bit hot with respect to the use of that language. And I want to send too much time on it, but I'm reflected as well. I thought it was a kind of an outlier with respect to an adjective. That's not just a daughter. I don't think she's anything like Donald Trump. No, that's what I thought. I thought exactly what you thought. And that is, I think, even more offensive. In my estimation, I just don't get it. Right. And one other point I wanted to ask you about is you mentioned that and I voted for Donald Trump twice, I kind of moved away from his camp, but when you say he's not a rhino, do you think the Republicans are in any way, shape, or form, kind of responsible for this bloated budget problem that we currently have. I'm just curious because it seems like the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. A 1000% Andrew, and this goes back multiple administrations. I would go back to George W. Bush, and they would they spent money like they were drunk Democrats. And nobody wants to address us. And I'll tell you something else at Andrew, we talk about the investigations into Biden and Hillary and Obama. They've been investigating for 5 years the Republicans have 5 years, and we've got nothing out of that. Absolutely nothing.

Gordon Chang and Trish Discuss the Origins of the Coronavirus
"Recent weeks, we have learned what you and I, I think we're talking about back in January of 2020, which was the Wuhan lab theory. We had certainly I think both heard from various sources that it was quite possible that the coronavirus originated in a lab in Wuhan. That theory that discussion as you well know, Gordon was shut down. Aggressively shut down and now it seems doctor Anthony Fauci may have been at the forefront of helping to shut that discussion down by commissioning a scientific study, which he basically was able to take a red pen to. Doctor Redfield, head of the CDC, was cut out of conversations because he felt it was possible it may have come from a Wuhan lab and I think he said the most devastating thing to him was when the Baltimore sun called him a racist because he suggested it might come from Wuhan. We know what we all went through. Why do you think that was? Why do you think there was such an aggressive attempt to say no, there's no way it came from the Wuhan institute of virology? My theory is that Doctor Fauci was trying to protect himself. So if we go back to 2014, the Obama administration imposed a moratorium on the federal funding of gain of function research in the United States. So what did Fauci do? He outsourced gain of function funding to a biological weapons lab in China, the Wuhan institute of virology. And he did that through the New York based echo health alliance. So echo health alliance with NIH money was actually funding gain of function on coronaviruses. So I think Fauci is a little bit concerned that the Chinese took what they learned from his funding and they were applying it and eventually ended up creating SARS CoV-2, the pathogen causing COVID-19.

Joe Biden Blames Trump Administration for Bank Failures
"And I'm not quite sure Joe Biden understands what's really going on. Cut number 8 plays. And finally, we must reduce the risk of this happening again. During the Obama Biden administration, we put in place tough requirements on banks, like Silicon Valley bank and signature bank, including the Dodd Frank law to make sure that the crisis we saw in 2008 would not happen again. Unfortunately, the last administration rolled back some of these requirements. I'm going to ask Congress and the banking regulators to strengthen the rules for banks to make it less likely this kind of bank failure would happen again. And to protect American jobs and small businesses. Look, the bottom line is this, Americans can rest assured that our banking system is safe. Your deposits are safe. Let me also assure you we will not stop at this. We'll do whatever is needed. On top of all that, let's also take a look at a moment to put the situation of broader context. We've made strong economic progress in the past two years. We created more than 12 million new jobs. More jobs in two years than any president has ever created in a single four year term. Unemployment is below 4% for 14 straight months. Take on paper workers is going up, especially for lower and middle income workers. And we've seen record numbers of people apply to start new businesses more than 10 million of them more than 10 million applications over the net last two years, starting businesses. Now we need to keep the program this progress going. That's what swift action that my administration over the past few years is all about. Protecting depositors, protecting the banking system, protecting the economic gains we've made together for the American people. Thank you, God bless you and may God protect our troops. Thank you. So look, anyway, look, here's the deal. They're bailing out this bank. They're not calling it a bailout, but that's exactly what it is.

Biden DNI Pick Avril Haines Raises Eyebrows
"Doing some research on this Avril Haines person. Who apparently is the one that had the back and forth with Tom cotton. And The Guardian, The Guardian, averill Haines is unusual backstory makes her an unlikely chief for U.S. intelligence. Oh, really? And so then somebody sends this to me. The former plane enthusiast lawyer at judo belt owned a cafe that staged erotica nights and worked for president Obama, what you're trying to say the erotica knights ended up working for Obama. I think this is grammatically a little bit too close. So I don't know what the hell it erotica night is. I Googled it. And it said you need to turn your safe search off in order to do that. I'm not doing that. I don't even know what it is. And so then apparently in the article it explains it that this woman who's now running DNI bought brothels, though she bought she opened a cafe in a formal brothel and then returned and then returned it to a brothel. She's running the head of the DNI. She says, quote, erotica has become more prevalent because people are trying to have sex without having sex. Others are trying to find new fantasies to make their monogamous relationships more satisfying with the erotic offers is spontaneity twists and turns and it affects everybody. This woman is a freak. She should not be in our government. So when I say the Biden administration has a team of freaks I mean it is really strange.

'The Fall of the FBI' With FBI Veteran Thomas Baker
"Talking to the author of the fall of the FBI how once great agency became a threat to democracy. Thomas baker, you were just telling us how what we now call Pfizer foreign intelligence surveillance act. Was abused obviously by those who were enemies of Donald Trump, very creepy, the way these kinds of things happen. Very smart people looking for loopholes and looking for ways to do things. They ought not to be able to do. So talk about that a little bit. What exactly happened? Remind us. Okay. Well, as I said before, the Pfizer act was initially a reform, and things operated rather well under it for a long time. What has happened, particularly after September 11th, it was loosened up and loosened up. At first, the Pfizer applications for monitoring each one had to be signed by the director of the FBI and then by the attorney general, Kim herself, and so this led to very carefully reviewing that and this one in the FBI went in effect when the judge William Webster was the FBI director. He had a team of law clerks, read every word in those. I mean, it had to be perfect. So I've got a lot of scrutiny. What's happened since then, this requirement has been loosened up and loosened up and loosened up so there's a whole wide range of officials who can approve these things. And from just two or 300 a year and by the way, these numbers do get disclosed publicly a year or so after the fact. So from just about 200 a year for a long time, have to September 11th to jumped up to a thousand a year, and now it's up in the past year or two to three and 4000 every year and we now know from the work of the DoJ inspector general that hundreds of these are being directed at U.S. citizens. Okay, so the point is to get permission for the FBI to spy to surveil American citizens. We have these fisa courts set up and what you're saying is that over time it became more and more abused until we now know that what happened with Trump before he even was elected or inaugurated that these kinds of things were being enacted, presumably at the behest of Obama and his people

Ron DeSantis' Book BEATS Obama, Pence and Trump
"Ron DeSantis books sold more copies in its first week than books by Donald Trump, Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Desantis first memoir sold over 94,000 copies in the first week, a number that includes pre orders. So either he is a marketing guru, or Ron DeSantis is an incredibly popular and people are increasingly interested in hearing his story. What does that mean? That means that Ron DeSantis is incredibly popular. And when I say incredibly popular, he may be just more popular overall than in the conservative movement. If you go and look at the polls, Donald Trump is ahead in the polls and Carrie Lake was ahead as the vice president with Donald Trump. But Republicans aren't the only people that vote in elections. I just want to make sure that's clear. All of y'all know that for a fact. I'm talking about somebody else that just tune in and they listen to somebody else's program more often than mine. Republicans enthusiasm for a presidential candidate is not the tale all in these elections. And I'm going to say this again and I say it all the time, but I want to drive it home 'cause there's some people that are listening they never listen to me before. There is a possibility that there's a difference between someone who's popular and someone And I'm not saying that Trump is an electable but here my argument. There is a possibility and I've seen it play out in the state of Arizona that some people are incredibly popular, yet incredibly polarizing. And some people hate them more than they love freedom. And so they may be willing to not vote for them or not vote at all or vote against them instead of acquiescing.

"obamas" Discussed on TIME's Top Stories
"Obamas unveil White House portraits after Trump declined to do so. By darlene superville, Associated Press, Washington. Former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle returned to The White House on Wednesday for the unveiling of official portraits with a modern vibe. Him standing expressionless against a white background, and her, seated on a sofa in the red room, wearing a formal light blue dress. Barack and Michelle? Welcome home. President Joe Biden said before he invited the obamas to the stage to unveil the portraits. Some in the audience gasped, others applauded. It's great to be back. Obama said when it was his turn to speak, he praised Biden as vice president as someone who became a true partner, and a true friend. The artist, whom Barack Obama selected to paint his portrait, says the stripped down style of his works helped create an encounter between the person and the painting and the person looking at it. Robert mccurdy likes to present his subjects without any facial expression and standing against a white background, which is how America's 44th and first black president will be seen here for posterity in a black suit and gray tie. Biden and First Lady Jill Biden invited Obama and the former First Lady back to their former home to unveil their official portraits. It was misses Obama's first visit since her husband's presidency ended in January 2017. Obama himself visited in April to help celebrate the anniversary of the major healthcare law he signed. The former First Lady chose artist Sharon sprung for her portrait, the portraits do not look like any others in the collection, to which they will be added. In terms of style and substance. Mccurdy told The White House historical association for the latest edition of its 1600 sessions podcast that his style is stripped down for a reason. He's also done portraits of South Africa's Nelson Mandela, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, and the Dalai Lama, among others. They have plain white backgrounds, no body gestures, nobody. There are no props because we're not here to tell the story of the person that's sitting for them. Mccurdy said. We're here to create an encounter between the viewer and the sitter. He compared the technique to a session with a psychiatrist, in which the patient and doctor tell each other as little as possible about themselves. So that you can project onto them. And we're doing the same thing with these paintings, mccurdy said. We're telling as little about the sitter as possible, so that the viewer can project onto them. Mccurdy works from a photograph of his subjects, selected from hundreds of images. He spends a year to 18 months on each portrait and said he knows he's done when it stops irritating me. Sprung, who also was interviewed for the podcast, described feeling as though she was in a comedy sketch. When she met with the obamas in the Oval Office, she kept sinking into the couch, she sat on, while they sat on sturdier chairs, then the president flicked away the printed talking points she had handed out to everyone in the room. Then she just went still, and had to gasp for air a little bit. When someone else in the meeting asked her why she paints. Then she started to cry. So who knows what put the interview over the top, but that's how it went. Sprung said. She had planned on having misses Obama stand in the portrait to give it a certain dignity, but said the former First Lady has so much dignity that I decided to do it sitting just because it was too much looking up at her. I am that much shorter than her. Sprung worked on the portrait for 8 months, day and night. The most time she's ever spent on a single painting. She worked entirely from photographs taken in various locations on the state floor of The White House, getting the dress just right was the hardest part, she said. The color was so beautiful, and I really wanted to get the strength of the color and the light, said sprung, who has done portraits of the late representative Patsy mink, a Democrat from Hawaii, and jeannette rankin, of Montana, the first woman elected to Congress. Recent tradition, no matter political affiliation, has had the current precedent, genially hosting his immediate predecessor for the unveiling, as Bill Clinton did for George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush did for Clinton, and Obama did for the younger Bush. Donald Trump, who criticized almost everything about Obama and deviated from many presidential traditions, held no ceremony for Obama. So Biden, who was Obama's vice president, scheduled one for his former boss. Obama's portrait is destined for display in the grand foyer of The White House. The traditional showcase for paintings of the two most recent presidents. Clinton's and George W. Bush's portraits currently hang there. Misses Obama's portrait likely will be placed with her predecessors along the hallway on the ground floor of The White House, joining Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, and Laura Bush. Both mccurdy and sprung said it was hard to keep their work on the portraits secret. Mccurdy said it wouldn't have been a problem if it had not gone on for so long. Sprung said she had to turn the portraits to the wall whenever someone came into her studio in New York. The White House historical association, a nonprofit organization that has funded through private donations and sales of books and an annual Christmas ornament helps manage the portrait process and since the 1960s has paid for most of those in the collection. Congress bought the first painting in the collection of George Washington, other portraits of early presidents and first ladies, often came to The White House as gifts..

"obamas" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Update on world and national news with Nancy Lyons Ines. Thanks, Tim. The obamas returned to The White House today to see the unveiling of their official portraits. Former president Barack Obama noted his photorealistic painting of him standing in a dark suit, is by the artist Robert mccurdy. You'll note that he refused to hide any of my gray hairs.

"Here's Mike. There's also a troubling bit of information from Yuval day coming out that the police reportedly, according to The New York Times anyway, and I don't think The New York Times is particularly pro police. So maybe take it with a grain of salt, but the report is that the police took over 40 minutes to enter the building. While he was in there with those terrified children. And we got a mute guys for me. Please mute. The report is that the police, one school safety officer encountered the 18 year old killer. Outside the school, it's not clear according to the reporting if there was gunfire exchanged. There is, and I say this with a heavy heart because I'm pro police. And these are men and women who go to the to go into danger regularly, but you know, one of the catastrophes of Columbine is that those two monsters were able to do whatever they wanted for a long, long period of time. Because the police would not breach the school. And as a result, it is believed that at least one guy bled to death. The teacher, the math teacher, bled out, and he was alive for a long time. And they took forever to get into the building. And I hate to even bring this up, maybe you can, you want to tackle this with me. We can. But according to The New York Times, not only did the school safety officer, the armed security officer, encountered the guy outside the school and failed to stop him from entering the school, he just sort of followed him in, and then he got locked out of the classroom, The New York Times says that the police had a quote difficult time breaching the door of the classroom that the killer was barricaded in with the kids. And they had to, it took them a while to get the key to the door, the key, you needed to get a, I mean, listen, there's it's real easy to pile on and second guess it's real real simple for us to be armchair Monday morning armchair quarterbacks. But on the other hand, like Columbine, maybe we're going to learn some valuable lessons from this horrific massacre about the right response if The New York Times reporting is true, there's a, there is another heartbreaking aspect to this and that is that maybe a lot of these kids were slaughtered and the police didn't enter the building. And I hate to even bring this up, but we can talk about it. In fact, let's go with that for a while, Tracy. One 806 5 5 mic. If you have seen that report, have you heard about this? Derek, do you have the clip of the father who's furious? That his child was murdered. And he actually blames what he says was the slow response by law enforcement in uvalde. In not breaching the building soon enough. I hope that's not true. I pray that's not true. Because I remember that happening after the Columbine massacre. One of the first prominent school shootings in America. You know, that was the one that sort of changed everything in many ways. And it was, as I recall, and fact checked me if I'm wrong on this, maybe you live in and around littleton Colorado. We went out there the day after to broadcast from there, but as I remember the police took hours, those two monsters roamed the halls of Columbine high school in Colorado, I think, as I remember it was hours before they went in. And if it was 40 minutes before they entered the building, now they don't know what they're dealing with. They don't know if they've got explosives. They don't know how many people are in there, perhaps. And perhaps The New York Times reporting is wrong, I pray it is. 806 5 5 mic, one open line.

"SoFi, wherever you get your podcasts. Why Michelle Obama's brother is suing his kids former school by Katie Reilly. Former First Lady Michelle Obama's brother is suing a Milwaukee private school that his children attended, accusing the school of racial bias and insensitivity towards students of color. Craig Robinson and his wife Kelly say their two sons aged 9 and 11 were dismissed from the university school of Milwaukee in 2021. After the parents raised concerns about USM's treatment of its students of color and submitted bias incident reports on behalf of underrepresented students. According to a lawsuit, filed in a Milwaukee county circuit court this week. The school, which charges up to $30,000 for annual tuition and rolls about 1100 students from pre kindergarten to 12th grade. Rather than responding openly and constructively to the concerns raised by the robinsons regarding inclusiveness and racial equity in keeping with the common trust and then working to ensure equal treatment for students of color and underrepresented students at USM, including the Robinson children, the school inflicted extreme and unwarranted harm on two of its model students of color, the lawsuit states. Calling the school's action part of a broader pattern, extending over many years of unfair treatment and insensitivity. The lawsuit alleges that the school failed to address racial epithets directed at students of color and engaged in racially and sensitive practices, including requiring students to participate in an underground railroad simulation, in which students of color were instructed to act like runaway slaves, while USM faculty acted as slave catchers. The school ultimately discontinued the activity. Craig and Kelly Robinson said they became concerned about the school's culture after observing some of their son's classes while they were learning from home during the pandemic. We were surprised and troubled by the repeated use of racial and ethnic stereotypes in certain assignments. The robinsons said in an open letter about the suit, we also witnessed a disregard for children, who were not physically present in class, and an apparent insensitivity to socioeconomic status, an issue that was put in stark relief during the pandemic. But when they raced concerns, they say school administrators reacted with sharp resistance and hostility. And ultimately, terminated their sons enrollment. In a statement, the university school of Milwaukee pushed back against the claim that the robinsons sons were dismissed because of their complaints about discrimination. USM's enrollment decisions had nothing to do with complaints of inequity or discrimination, and we intend to vigorously defend the school against any claim to the contrary. The school said in a statement posted on Facebook, while declining to comment on specifics of the lawsuit. We can not, and will not tolerate persistently disrespectful, bullying, or harassing behavior directed at our devoted and hardworking teachers and administrators, the statement said. When such parental conduct threatens the educational environment we have created, we have no choice, but to take action. The robinsons aren't alone. More than 200 U.S. parents, students and alumni signed a petition, calling on the school to take action to change a culture of bias and insensitivity. And around the country, many black families have withdrawn their children from public and private schools, some turning to homeschooling in an effort to combat whitewashed history lessons and racism in school. Homeschooling increased nationwide after the pandemic disrupted in person learning. Most significantly among black families, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's household pulse survey. The robinsons said they will donate any money they receive as part of the lawsuit toward programs aimed at promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools..

I don't understand how you can't leave some kind of counterterrorism force. But maybe i don't understand that and maybe that's counterterrorism force in like cutter or something like that. I mean obviously the reason we went in there was to prevent another attack from afghanistan from from letting them be safe haven for al-qaeda and twenty years later We haven't really accomplish much other than for now. It is in a safe haven for al qaeda but the you mentioned isis isis group. That's there now. In a strange way. It's useful to of afghanistan as having come to wars one was the war against al qaeda to basically take out that network and then the other is the the nation building effort which we've just seen collapse and actually i think the us military basically at you. And i were talking after nine eleven. I think we would have assumed that. The reason to go into afghanistan was to take al-qaeda and they -ccomplish that and and frankly a lot of that was accomplished at the height of the surge when we had a lot of capacity there a lot of that activity obviously was in pakistan including the effort to get us on the lodden. But you know you don't have the that network is been basically destroyed and You don't have a an al qaeda safe haven in partnership with with the taliban the same way you did for nine eleven i think you know the challenge emerges When you have. The taliban takeover is less that their allied with isis or not. It's that you know. This whole country has been a war zone for years. All manner of armed people including some of them are islamic. Extremists are there. And so. I know it's a kind of place where isis can try to recruit in establish a something of a foothold in in terms of are having a base. I i think what biden calculates. His look you know we. We don't have a basis in a lot of countries where we've taken action against terrorist networks whether that's pakistan or yemen or or or different places we can do things or their power. We can do things with special operations that don't require base. I think when i was in i don't know if yemen is big success not no. I'm not well but that's a. That's a same. The same thing as president in yemen as an afghanistan. There's there's two there's the war against al qaeda and then there's this terrible saudi led war against the hutus. It's basically civil war. But i do want to just come back real quick to the base question that because we looked at this at the end. The obama years and the question is bog. Mayor base was our biggest base afghanistan.

With suspected violent extremist ideologies prepared and coordinated resistance was reported by some agencies and similar tactics such as the use of arson looting. Barricades caravans and specific types of weapons were seen in major cities. Nationwide protesters seem to coordinate their movements and actions. On these days as if the if the violence and tactics were preplanned for example across the us major city law enforcement agencies reported peaceful protests beginning in the early to late afternoon and violence beginning once it became dark. The report confirms the presence of the far left violent extremists and notes that seventy eight percent of surveyed police agencies identified such actors among the protests. Fifty one percent of agencies also identified far-right axed at actors at some protests.

Us ambassador to germany former acting director of national intelligence and the founder now of fixed california dot com. Which i really want to get into. Welcome richard grenell. How are you sir glen. Thanks for having me. You bet someday. I really just want to spend the day with you. I'll go follow you around if that's what it takes but i just i have so many things. Okay so let me get because we have such limited time. Let me get to some Some things that are on my mind. Let's start with the hacking. I've never seen administration say well. This is a private company. That is being hacked. A they should pay the ransom. But that's up to them and and it looks like they're coming from china in some of these the transportation one in new york city but the rest of them are coming from russia. Any chance that putin doesn't know that this is going on look Let's be very clear. All of the world leaders right now are testing the biden administration. These increased hacks are because they're trying to see how biden is going to react. They're trying to test the limits. How far can they go before we react. We the united states of america and they do those lines going very clearly under the trump administration. They knew exactly clearly if they did something that impacted america that there would be an immediate and bigger reaction. The bigger reaction is is the key here because what the message is sent. When you put america first is we will protect our people first and we will have overwhelming force. That will come at you. Whether it's sanctions tariffs airstrikes. Donald trump used every single tool that united states government had to protect us. Well joe biden is going to go over and talk to putin. I can't imagine how badly that's going to go. But is is are we sending. What message are we sending back to them. And how bad does this have to become before. It's an act of war. Well i talked before the campaign. I i talked a lot about joe. Biden's global philosophy and he believes in consensus with The rest of the world and certainly the importance of consensus with western governments. Now that sounds amazing right. It sounds like can't just hug it out and get along but the price reality is is that we have a different opinion even when it comes to western allies like germany. If you're going to put as the priority that the german government has to agree and complement our positions that you've just watered it down and let me give you the perfect example nord stream. Two pipeline is a pipeline. That goes too far with gas and energy into europe. We the united states. Believe that nordstrom one is okay. It's part of the equation of having a diversified energy source. So we don't mind europe and germany getting some russian gas but nord stream. Two goes too far by the way. The european parliament agrees with the united states. The french agree with us. A whole bunch of countries in europe agree with us. Joe biden and look at the germans and i can tell you unequivocally that in their call between chancellor merkel and joe biden. The chancellor brought up nordstrom to end. Joe biden wants to please angela merkel. He wants the german government to like him so when they ask. Hey will you let us have straight to. He prioritized the compliments of germany over the position of the united states and so while shutting down pipeline in the united states. He's allowing them to go forward. Because the germans asked for it and he prioritizes having germans like him. This is a very dangerous slippery slope when you go to the un say and you want to be liked and you want the crowd to cheer you. This means that you water down our policy in order to please others as the director of national intelligence you oversee all of the arms of intelligence. Right correct okay. president biden and his allies are saying the biggest threat according to the intelligence that he's receiving the biggest threat to the united states of america is white supremacy and donald trump supporters. Did you ever see any intelligence. That would back any of that up. Absolutely not it outrageous. It's politicizing the intelligence community. It's also making us less safe. Because if you want to pull resources in articulate a position that this is where we need to concentrate this is the priority that the reality is a counterterrorism center that is run by the intelligence community will shift its resources to trying to find. Seek out information surrounding that sony Argument now let's be very clear. Of course it's a problem but it's not the top problem it's just like you know. Russia is a problem for a but china is a crisis and when you constantly say look over there russia. Look at all these problems. You're literally giving beijing line. The chinese plot us when we say go concentrate on the russia crisis because it's not a crisis and therefore we take our eye off the ball. This is exactly what's happening when we say white supremacy in america is the.
