The Bill Martinez Show 01 26 26

0:00 Are you ready. Okay, let's do it. Bill Martinez Live a program about current events, our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez six. Minutes after the top of the hour. Right now, Bill Martinez here and back with us is Peter Lamage, an attorney, a Republican strategist, first generation immigrant from socialist Albania who has devoted his career to defending freedom and constitutional principles. He's a Conservative candidate for conserv for the Connecticut Secretary of State in twenty twenty six, and he brings first hand experience of the American dream and a passion for protecting it. Peter, thank you so much, appreciate the time.

0:43 Welcome, thank you for having me, sir, good to see you well. Before we get into the topic at hand, I'd like to get your insight on Davos and what President Trump was able to do in bringing the countries together that were maybe a bit hesitant, but he cast a vision and gave them something to achieve here right. Look, it's amazing that people still do not understand the President of the United States. When he starts negotiating, his skills are unmatched. He starts from the top when he said I'm going to take Greenland no matter what. Pretty much, he made a promise and he keeps the promise. But then he started negotiating, and I think that what he got out of it is not public yet, but it sort of surprised everyone that he walked out of this meeting and then, you know, made it public that we are negotiating.

1:39 There is no need to use military force. He's not going to do that. There is no need for the tariffs or the sanctions or anything else we're negotiating, and he walked out of this meeting Victoria victorious for the United States. Greenland is important the United States. It's got it. The geopolitics required it to, if nothing else, to have permanent bases there. And I think what he's arguing, and he's not publicand but I think what he's arguing is that when you have a military base in a certain country that is temporary, you can besh to leave. It doesn't mean ect But when you have that as an American land, you don't have to leave. So he's trying to get this sort of a permanent basis that we need to have there to defend and protect the United States. And I think that was an excellent strategy that he pursued with the other European leaders.

2:28 Well, what he's done in all this negotiations at the end of it all, as you know, Peter, is that you may come away I mean certainly better off than you were before. You may have misunderstood. But as the President has said before, and he repeated this several times to the Ukrainian president, is that you don't have the cards. America has the cards. He's got a full deck to play with that can be leveraged and make a deal really beneficial for all parties. I mean, something that heretofore. I don't know of another president, maybe Reagan, who had the conceptuality of being able to offer something and go in to the assets of America to say, hey, what about this? What about this? To make it a win win proposition? Right.

3:15 Just imagine if the media, the major media is in the United States were supportive of the president. Imagine if the Democrats supported the president's agenda. Imagine if Congress supported the president and some Republicans as well. I mean, this president has the negotiating skills that no other president had before Reagan comes to mind. I agree with you, but I think he surpasses Reagan when it comes to negotiating for the United States. Look at the tariffs, Look at the closing down, shutting down the border, look at illegal immigration. Look what he's doing with the tariffs and bringing billions, if not trillions of dollars into United States and creating jobs for everyone in lower prices, and I mean his skills. When it comes to negotiating for the American people, then the president is so simple to understand. He's putting America first.

4:01 He's doing everything and anything he can to improve the American people's lives. And it's sad that sometimes we have elected officials actually who are working against him at the you know, detriment you know, of the American people. And this is sad. When I see this, it really breaks my heart because he doesn't need this job. I always argue with people that Trump doesn't need this job. He doesn't like the president of the United States. He can go and just enjoy his life with his nieces and nephews and you know, enjoy life. He's got the money, he's got the status, he's got the name recognition. He doesn't do this to benefit from it, even though the media portrays him differently as if he's making billions of dollars. But the truth is that ordinary folks understand that he's doing this for the American people, and we should thank God every single day that we were able to elect him for the second term to really deliver on behalf of us well.

4:49 And the thing is, Peter, he will have a generational impact. It's not just the here and now. I mean we're talking generations down the road. And what he's putting into motion and the model for a presidency that he's exampled. I mean, I don't care if you're Democrat, Republican, independent, whatever, if you have aspirations to become president of the United States, you're going to be looking at the model that Donald Trumps put out there. Right. He's saying to change the geopolitics of the United States for the next fifty years at least in the favor of the United States, if we know how to pursue it based on the steps or the roadmap that he's given us. Whether you're talking about you know, Latin countries with Maduro, whether we're talking on greenland relations that we have with the European Union Donato. I mean, he's establishing a roadmap for the future presidents to pursue it properly to make sure that America remains that superpower that we have been a good superpower in the world that we have provided for We defeated fascism, communism, Nazism, you know, but for the United States. And I was so proud when he told the European Union leaders that but for the United States, you would be speaking German and some Japanese.

6:03 I mean, that was gavid, but he made perfect sense because we have invested so much in the world that I think the world should appreciate the fact that we have a president like Trump right now that is standing up to the threads that may come to the European Union and NATO. But for the United States, NATO is United States. No one can deny the fact that almost seventy five percent of the expenses of NATO are covered by the United States. United Nations is United States exactly, and we shouldn't be We shouldn't shy way or run away from the fact that we are here to provide and protect and defend the Western civilization. And Trump is making that clear. I'm going to stand up, but America is going to be first he's going to lead by an example, We're not going to follow others.

6:50 He was elected. He makes that clear that the American people voted for him, they didn't vote for the United Nations. The American people voted for him, they didn't vote for NATO. So he's the liver in the promises that he made to the American people. And I think that every American should have been proud and should be proud of him that he's put in America first, and he's not making its distinction based on political affiliations. He's not pointed out that the Democrats or the Republicans or the Independents. He's put in American people first, and that is extremely important for us. Well exactly, And Peter, seventy seven million people voted for him, said, hey, this is what we want you to do. Go fix the problem. But the thing is is that we need the other remaining millions of people that didn't vote for him to wise up and to get out of this.

7:36 You know, this quagmire that has been created by the Democratic Party, by the mainstream media, by the establishment and people that do not look at America as being worthy of being first. They have been putting a stick in our spokes all these years, and now Donald Trump has come in. He's brought receipts to the European leaders and said, look what we've done for you. Have we ever asked anything of you? Have we ever asked anything of you? And right now today I'm asking for Greenland and all that we've given to you. Right absolutely not even he doesn't want Greenland to be owned by the United States, if you will. He wants to use Greenland as a layer of protection as a defense for the Western world, including the Western Europe, including NATO.

8:26 He's not doing that for the United States. And I was surprised to see Canada that but for the fact that he made it clear during his speech actually that you know, Canada exists because of the United States, you know, having the Canadian But look, it's say, the left is permeated no matter where, whether you go the European countries or Canada, the left is permeated by this hatred of the Western civilization, if you will. They don't like what we stand for. They want to shape the Western countries into the image that doesn't exist, or they are not proud of what the West has produced. When you look at the Western civilization. Everything that we stand for right now is under attack, is under attack by a combination of what is coming to the Western civilization or to the Western countries from other countries, in combination of the leftists within our countries. You know, sometimes the greatest threat that Western civilization is facing right now where the Western countries, is coming from within the House of Freedom.

14:05 Welcome back to America. Bill Martin is here with her homage an attorney, Republican strategist, first generation immigrant from socialists Albania. Peter, you rightly say the threats are no longer existential. They are within the countries. I mean with the mass migration that's taken place, absorbing people from other countries that are not like minded. Nor do they have the ambition of assimilating and strengthening the countries who have welcomed them into their into the interior of their countries. If anything, they've been doing everything they can to bring the countries down. I mean we saw evidence of here recently, quite blatantly in Minnesota. Right.

14:46 Look, we've been warned before. And one of the people who comes to mind that warned the West is that Arnold Goinby years ago said the great civilizations are not known that they commit suicide. We are committed suicide. You don't bring the Third. World to the West and expect them to assimilate and become part of, you know, our civilization. As a matter of fact, when they come to United States, they are imposing their values. And who are supporting them, The left is supporting them imposing their values upon us. They do disagree with everything that we stand for. They're coming to the United States to take advantage of what we offer them instead of embracing Americanism and the values that we have, the Christian values that we have. As a matter of fact, if you and I disagree with that, we would be accused of being xenophobes. And but you know, they're trying to beat us, especially the previous administration, the Biden administration, they were trying to beat us into this political submission that you have to agree with that what these people are saying, you have to agree with their values, you have to embrace. As a matter of fact, you have to make room for their values. And I think this is where we have to stand up and have the backbone and the character and the forty two to fight back.

16:00 We have a leader in Donald Trump right now who's leading us and is taking that position that, look, we haven't done anything wrong to these people. They want to come here, They want to become Americans by all means, but you do it legally. When you look at the numbers and you see that eighty one percent of certain immigrants that came from certain countries including Yemen, Somalia and others, they are receiving public assistance, Seventy five percent of them do not speak even English. Most of their girls do not even go to high schools. I mean, these are values that are not American, They are not Western. You look at the abuse of the system. They have learned the system better than anyone else on how to abuse it, how to take advantage of it. You have cases that I've seen personally where you have these NGOs, including one to twenty six foot our laws in New York that they are walking these people through the process how to qualify for benefits, and instead of coming to your United States to be part of our society and improve America, they are taking advantage of America. It bothers me when I see elected officials who were not born in the United States, including some judges whose last names cannot even be pronounced, who are attacking the foundation of this country, attacking the constitution, attacking what we stand for. This is where I and that doesn't behoove me very well. I don't think that anyone in the United States should be allowed to hold an office unless they were born and raised here, and I wasn't born here. That doesn't serve

17:31 me well that I say this, But I don't think we should be allowed until we've been here for at least the generation and we understand the founding documents of this country and what America stands for, and have some skin in the cave. They don't exactly. Some of them will tell you that, oh, I can leave, I can go back to the country where I came from. We didn't ask you to come here. You can leave any time. Get it one way together, and you can. Leave right exactly. And the thing, the other thing too, that's being overlooked here in this process. You say that, you know, the taxpayer is being taken advantage of, even the person, the immigrant is being taken advantage of these NGOs, and why are they doing that? You know, some have said routinely that, oh, it's all about it's all about the vote, you know, and you know, and demographic change in these different communities, and no doubt that's the case that's happening, But it cripples these poor people who come here and maybe they vaguely, Peter, maybe vaguely they have an idea of the American dream, and all that gets washed away because now they're going to be taken care of, They're going to be coddled. And you've destroyed You've destroyed their humanity, haven't you.

18:37 Yes years ago, Rush Limbo said that the left destroying to create a permanent underclass in the United States. They want this permanent under class in the United States. They want a group of people that depend on the government, because when you have dependency on the government, they have full command and control over you. And I've seen that movie before and I don't like the ending of it. I've seen that in Albania when the government told that's what time to wake up what time to go to sleep, what food. To eat, what schools to attend. We were and pretty much enslaved by our own government until nineteen ninety one, and the Democrats, the leftists are looking for the exact same thing in the United States. They want to make sure that they own this group of people, that they control them as a voting block, because exactly the biggest threat to the liberals would be prosperity through liberty. They want to make sure they don't have these groups prospering because then they can have liberty.

19:28 And if they have liberty, they don't need the government because they are claiming they have liberty through prosperity, and they are very well calculated the left to make sure that they have these Why are they defending the legals because they need those numbers to make sure that right when it comes to Congress to the House, especially when we do the census, they have the numbers that they need to make sure that they get certain Congressmen or members of the House of Representatives that shouldn't be counted in the census, but exactly counting ten. And that's how they got the political power that they have. Right, this is why we're thirty eight trillion dollars in debt and counting. As I've discussed with the many economists, I said, tell me that the thirty eight trillion dollars that we're in debt has not been tied to a vote and they said, without a doubt, it's all about vote getting. And of course what you're saying here earlier, the perfect case in point is what we're seeing happening in Minnesota, you know, with little Somalia there. I mean, and what are we talking about? A base of about eighty thousand migrants there, eighty thousand, and look at all the habit that they're controlling. They control the entire state.

20:38 Eighty thousand are controlling the entire state of Minnesota. What does that tell you? A lot of elected officials made millions of dollars out of it. I have no doubt that if the Department of Justice starts looking into this, and I hope they do it, they should subpoena each and every elected official in that area to make sure. How did someone who got elected to the United States Congress six years ago from sixty five thousand dollars when she had in a bank account when she was elected Elano mark. Now it's alleged that she's got thirty million. Where did the money come from? How come I cannot make thirty million dollars six years or seven years and I'm working six seven days away and I'm taking, you know, the risk of capitalism, investing and doing this and doing that. We're doing.

21:18 We're not making that amount of money. How do these elected officials become millionaires when they are making one hundred and sixty thousand dollars a year? You know, these are question marks that are behind these people. And I hope the Department of Justice started looking into this, because when you have eighty thousand people determining the outcome of the election in Minnesota, they are the ones who are running the political direction of the state, but someone is enticing them into performing these ads that aren't violation of our laws and obviously taking advantage of the taxpayers. And I hope the DEVID. I cannot wait for Pam Bondy to issue warrants and then search warrants and even make arrest so that the American people will start realizing that we have an administration that the serious when it comes to to at least identifying, locating, and investigating fraud and waste and abuse, because this is the taxpayer's money, and we should at the bottom of this and send a message that you come to the United States, you come here legally, you embrace our values, you work hard like we do.

22:18 You pay your taxes, and you do not abuse the taxpayers money just because. You have been given the opportunity to do that well. And this is one of the reasons why the administration is halting green card and citizenship processing for applicants from seventy five countries, which you you mentioned some earlier, Peter. Well, yeah, I mean when I look at the countries over here, it's interesting because most of these countries are somehow left leaning, even though it seventy five of them, and some of them, I mean, they have the utmost disrespect for our laws when they come over here. You we have cases over here that they are fraudulent marriages. You have fraudulent divorces. You have people on the report in their income to qualify for other benefits. You have parents divorce legally speaking, to make sure that they qualify for two sets of benefits over a year. I mean, they have learned the system of how to abuse it.

23:14 But I don't blame them to a certain extent, I blame the American system for not going after them. We have to send a clear message to them that you don't come to United States to violate our laws. This is fraud, this is not This is violation of the law, and people should go to prison for this. Until we start arresting people and sending them to prison for this, I don't think they're going to learn the lesson. Do The voters in America got to hit the street like in Iran, finally say this is enough. I think the way we do it in the United States, thank God that we have free elections, and every couple of years, whether it's for the US Congress, the House every two years, Senate every six years, or president every four years, we can send that message. But the Republicans are going to have to do a better They're going to have to do a making better argument to the public that this is what we're doing. There are some Republicans who are not even supporting the president of this endeavor that we have to uprove this kind of evil that we have in our society and keep on deporting these people. Because the Democrats are strengthened by the number of illegals in the United States. You weaken them by deporting them. When you have the Speaker of the House, Jeffries, Kim Jeffries, he said that, oh, we shouldn't deport people who didn't violate the law. Yeah, they are illegal here the words of people itself, or when he said that if we ask people to produce it an idea to vote, he said, or discriminator or oppressing certain groups.

24:35 We're not a president of party. You have to prove who you are. You're an American citizen. That is the case. No one is preventing people from voting. But I think that the president and the current administration should keep on doing what they are doing. Ice deserves a greater support from the elected officials, including the Democrats, and they're going to have to start issuings of poenas and then you know, doing some doing some damage to disorganized crime. It is an organ prime that is making someone billions, but at least, if not billions, millions of dollars. Well, it requires the support, no doubt, of political parties, but certainly at the core it deserves and demands the support of we the people. We the people need to keep the pressure. Pick up the phone, let your representative know how you feel about this, because if you don't say anything, then you are just giving tacit endorsement to business as usual.

25:30 Absolutely agree with you. But the difference between the left and the right is that usually Republicans generally speak and they have a job, they have to go to work in the morning. The Democrats, some of them, are being paid to do this. And when you go to certain websites without mentioning one over here, you can find websites that promote anyone who wants to join these violent protests if you will, and you will be paid to do that. Well, Republicans, we don't do that. We still believe in law and order. We believe that the government functions. We believe that this can be saw peacefully by voting and by writing and you know, making fun calls. As she said, But you know, the left is quite violent when it comes to opposing the President of the United States and he's agenda. I mean, look what they are doing all over the United States, not only you know, Minneapolis, but or other places, but all over the United States. Are you They've been using violence for the best I would say, you know, at least in Trump game, you know, on the scene, they've been quite violent to oppose him, when when I'm opposing him.

26:30 Well, Peter Lamage, we got to leave it there. Thank you, as always, I appreciate the time. He's an attorney of Republican strategist, first generation immigrant from Socialists to Albania.

He is the author of No Second Amendment, No First, and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism, author and editor of Christian Nation, which is part of Emerald Robinson's substack. Hey John, how are you.

30:39 I'm doing well, Bell. Thanks. The news is constantly interesting, and we're getting whipsawed from left to right. Good news, bad news, puzzling news. It's hard to stay on top of it all. Well, it's almost like some of this stuff is just coming, you know, it's been laying, you know, down low, but it's now being exposed. And I think that what happens is the nature of God Jennifers. Is that it has to expose that which is unjust and unrighteous, and it's vomiting it up out of its own system, is what I'm sensing. What do you think? Well, you know, for some of us, we saw what was going on back in twenty twenty, but people thought we were crazy when they closed the churches but kept the abortion clinics and casinos open. Some of us asked some questions when they tried to force us to get an untested vaccine, claiming it was an emergency, got I legally approved as an emergency because there was no alternative, and then they justified that by getting rid of the alternatives, by preventing us from taking ivermectin, by discouraging us from taking vitamin D. They were desperate to create a medical monopoly so that they could coerce us to be vaccinated, so they could control our lives, control our movements. We weren't a lot. The constitution was suspended. You couldn't have gatherings of people except if you were part of a politically connected group. Remember, church services were banned. Trump events were considered were called super spreader events. But you could

32:11 have riots for black lives matter right. It was a. Narco tyranny, anarchy for me, tyranny for thee. So we some of us knew back in twenty twenty. Oh my god, this is a pro to authoritarian state. Our elites regard have a total double standard. They and their friends are exempt from the law. We are being going to be subject to the most strictest possible prosecution. Look look at the people who defend who crying over that lesbian activists who tried to run down an ice officer and got shot. The same people praised the Capitol Hill, the Capitol police officer who shot down Ashley babbittt on January sixth, who was a threat to no one. There is no pretense of moral consistency on.

32:57 The left, and of course people on their side went to jail, right John, They faced consequences for doing this right. No, none of the rioters who burned down our cities and caused ten million dollars of damage and more than a dozen debts, nobody went to prison. Virtually nobody was fined. In fact, some cities paid reparations to the protesters for having restrained them from burning their cities down. Meanwhile, there are people bankrupted there were people committed suicide like Matthew Perna under the law fair of January sixth, and our Justice Department is not prosecuting nobody. None of the people who did the j six crackdown, who violated the constitution, who imprisoned people for nonviolent political speech for years, put them in solitary and confinement, none of them have been punished.

33:46 That's why people are screwing about Pam Bondy. Remember, Pam Bondy used to work for Pfizer. Pambondy is close to the scientologists. Pam Bondy helped prosecute George Zimmerman for defending himself. She was a bad pick for attorney general. But it's not just that the Democrats are preventing Trump's appointments from getting from getting approved and Republicans like Chuck Grassley are playing playing along, honoring ridiculous old fart Senate traditions like the Blue Slip, which basically is left over from the nineteen thirties. All these old customs and norms and conventions that used to work when the Democrats were a mainstream patriotic political party, the party of John F. Kennedy, they don't work now. That it's the party of foreigny hottests, domestic communists, rioters, transgender maniacs who shoot up Christian schools and Christian churches. And of course that attack on a Baptist church exactly because they said someone attending worked for Ice.

34:50 Yeah, has had the same name of the pastor, which still has not been confirmed. But even still regardless, to go into a church service a little bit of a violation of the First Amendment. Right now, if that had been a mosque, oh, the people would have just they wouldn't have even had the police involved. They would have beaten those the invaders into the ground and they wouldn't have been prosecuted. I don't blame the people in the church for not doing that, because they would all have been put in prison. They would all ended up getting raped in prison because the Blue State would prosecute them the way they did the January sixth defendants, and too many Republicans would say, well, they may have overreached, they broke the law. They should have called the police. The Minnesota. Minneapolis police are not going to protect a white Baptist church from black protesters, from radical Mexican foreign protesters, from rap from transgender protesters.

35:45 So we do not enjoy the protection of the law. Christians, conservatives, white males. We are outside the protection of the law and defenders. Lawbreakers, foreign law breakers who've already been ordered to be deported, can do whatever they want. That is the new system. That is the status quo that Donald Trump is trying with great difficulty to sort of get under control. You know, John, you look at the police chief for Minneapolis, and he's totally neutered. I mean, he is conflicted, you can see because he is not honoring the ethos of the men in blue, which is that you're watching each other's back. There is a brotherhood here.

36:30 He's not fulfilling his oath of office. He actually apologized on television to the Somali fraudsters who were bilking the taxpayer of tens of millions of dollars. He apologized for having to do the investigation to reveal that these jihadi foreign colonists, colonists who were brought to this country for no reason. They were flown past six safe Muslim countries they could have gone as so called refugees. They were purposely settled in Maine and in Mini Minnesota, allegedly to fix the diversity deficit. Now, if there are too many white people in a place, it's a diversity deficit. That's the language. The logic of the segregation is simply being turned on.

37:12 Its head exactly. And how diverse is it now when you've got about eighty thousand Somalis controlling the entire state? Yeah, it is astonishing. I mean, I thought we Irish when we took over New York and Boston. I thought we were impressive. But we at least had the numbers. We had millions of Irish when we took over those cities, and we came legally, and we still created an enormous web of corruption. I mean, Tammany Hall is in from this for a reason. But at least my Irish ancestors came here legally and they had the numbers when they took over the city. But white Midwestern liberals are such whimps that a few thousand Jihadis can colonize them and they all become slaves. They all start kissing their feet and praying in Arabic and eating their terrible Somali food and choking it down. It is a spectacle. If I didn't have to live here, I would find it funny.

38:06 I mean, it's like I used to say that the world is run by James Bond villains, the church is run by Austin Powers villains. Now the state is coming to be run by Austin Powers villains as well well. And the thing that's so scary about this, John, like you say, is that they're amongst us and here even though it's been exposed and being exposed. I mean, the American people want some expediency on this. They want to see justice met out. Oh. A part of the big problem is so many Republicans are complicit. John Cornyan, the Republican senator from Texas, was a big part of bringing some Ali refugees to America, a big part of building mosques around Texas, and now he's running TV commercials picturing himself photoshop with Donald Trump, pretending that he was maga all along. The biggest problem in America right now is cowardly Republicans. Look at Indiana. Indiana, they would not fix the electoral districts to reflect the state's conservative population. They left in place for Democrat congressional districts.

39:14 The Democrats take over Virginia in part because we picked a lousy nominee because we needed her to be a black female immigrant. Has to be a black female immigrant, or you can't run for office as a Republican. She lost because she was a bad candidate. And now the Democrats are turning Virginia into California. They're mandating that schools have to teach that January sixth was an attempted revolution. They're putting abortion up through birth. They're cracking down on guns, they're getting rid of any hand counting of ballots. They're enshrining voter fraud forever in the state of Virginia. The Democrats only have to win once, and they rig the systems so they can never lose again. Republicans win, and we go have a genatonic and we go play a few rounds of golf, and we hire some cheap labor, and we wink at the at the immigrants swarming in, whose kids are all going to be citizens and are all going to vote Democrat. The Republicans are an unseerious political party. They're they're kind of a joke. The Democrats are an extremist paramilitary front like the Irish Republican Army.

44:34 Hey, we're back with you. Welcome back, doctor John Zameric, the author of No Second Amendment, No First and the Politically and Craig Guide to Catholicism, Author and editor of Christian Nation, which is part of the Emerald Robinson substack. Well, as you were saying, John, the Republicans are really being called out for their can I say milk toastiness? I guess, I mean, they're just they've lost their spine, and it almost seems like every time they get off the reservation it requires Donald Trump to, you know, treat them like the Europeans, you know, bring them back on the reservation, do a spine, you know, replacement, and stand them up again.

45:16 Well, what you're seeing is the rhinos in the Senate, like like Senator Thune, they are trying to wait Trump out. They're hoping that the Republicans lose the mid terms in a year. They're hoping so that the next two years can be an impeachment circus of Donald Trump. All they want is to take back the Republican Party for the country club Republicans, for the people who want cheap caddies on the golf course and don't care about the future of America. They are waiting out the Trump Revolution. They know that there's nobody to replace Donald Trump. There's nobody with the political skills the appeal of Donald Trump. So they're hoping that they can just get the party back and go back to their old job of being the Washington generals. Remember them, they were the white guy. His job.

46:02 It was to lose every night to the Harlem globetrotters. That the Republicans internalized sometime in the nineties that that was their job just to be beautiful losers, to lose gracefully, cash a check and retire in negated community. To hell with the country, to hell with the future. How can you associate with a political party that promotes the kind of policy that is so detrimental to America at large? John, just for the sake of power, Just for the sake of being able to go to a Beltway cocktail party. I think that's part of it. And also they don't want their wives to get the stinkye at the country club.

46:44 The idea that protesters might come to their house. They have a literal panic attack. These are men without chess, as C. S. Lewis used to say, men without any character, without any passion. These are not men who signed up and served in the military. These are not men who would have ever been cops or firemen. These are not men who take risks. They slid into their current positions through cronyism and nepotism and business connections, and they won't let themselves realize that there are the people on the other side. The people on the left are dead serious. Some of them are willing to get killed, They're willing to get in street fights, They're willing to burn stuff down.

47:26 The left has become a religious a religious movement. It's a zealous, fanatical religious movement of post Christianity. It takes elements from Christianity and wears them as a skin suit. Anti racism. Racism is wrong. Wait, you don't believe that human beings were made in the image of God. You think we're just hyper developed monkeys. You think it's okay to abort babies, you think it's okay to euthanize the handicapped. So where does this sacredness of the individual come that we have to treat everybody equally? You are racists? Wait, so why do you think racism is wrong? Explain it? I can explain it based on the Bible. You don't believe in the Bible. You believe in Darwinian random evolution.

48:11 Darwin was a racist. Darwin believed that the non white racist should gradually be exterminated for the advancement of mankind. Darwinism applied is Nazism. You claim to be a Darwinist, yet you want to pick pieces in look, y'all, I want Martin Luther Kings and Margaret Sanger's. It's completely incoherent, But coherence is not the point. Emotional resonance. Getting people revvd up is the point, the left is one big snake oil revival church without Jesus. If Jim Jones set the pattern, the Reverend Jim Jones who did that cult in Guiana where he had a thousand people commit suicide. People don't remember. He was a political leftist. He was a close ally of Harold Brown. He was the get out the vote operation for California Democrats. He was close friends with Harvey Milk, the gay activist. He was to the to the left what Jerry Folwell was to the right, and he when he didn't get what he wanted, he fled to went to Guiana, created a suicidal death cult.

49:16 The America right now is being turned into one big jonestown run by a leftist post Christian apocalyptic cult. Right. Yeah, you can't even associate it really with the Democratic Party because it's it's just a it's just way out of step with one another. You know, you mentioned Margaret Sanger and Martin Luther King Junior in the same sentence. I think if if Margaret Sanger would have had her way, she would have aborted Martin Luther King Junior. Think about that, Yeah, yeah, she she would have mark. Margaret Sanger explicitly wanted to cut black birth rates. She wanted to cut the birth rates of anyone she considered defective.

49:57 The slogan of planned parentige for decades was more children from the fit, fewer from the unfit. And this is the week of the March for Life and pro lifers. A lot of us were disappointed in the progress of the Trump administration, which is a mixed bag. Okay, Trump administration is a mixed bag. The Biden administration was a bag of plutonium and black plague. The Democrats are one hundred percent for abortion up through birth, for euthanasia, for eliminating down syndrome kids, and for transing small children, letting sex perverts groom and distort and hijack small children and turn them into trans eunuchs, sexually mutilate them, psychologically abuse them.

50:47 That is what the Democrats are about. And no, you can't make it all make logical sense again, because the Democrats have become a false religion, and a religion that is not based on reason, that can't be subject to logical consistency. It's based on moral hysteria and force. If you stand up to their moral hysteria, Antipha will show up the force will be applied, or the FEDS will show up. Remember the FBI dragging a pro life father away from his kids and taking him to jail with an armed raid with rifles. All he had done was defend his kid outside an abortion clinic from an angry protester. They tried to throw him in prison. But we're supposed to let human traffickers from Ecuador live here indefinitely on welfare.

51:32 And if you try to remove them, you're the gestapo engaged in ethnic cleansing. How dare you interfere in their enterprise to molest your children? Get them engaged in human trafficking? And oh yeah, a few murders here and there. I mean, what's the big whoop? Right? Right and again? And if the Republicans don't start taking it seriously that they're dealing not with a fellow American political party but Apaca lib dick cult that is willing to trash all the laws. Joe Biden was willing to let twenty million people walk in here illegally, and now we're being called a gestapo for trying to deport a few of them. Tom Holman deported nine hundred thousand people for Barack Obama he got a medal from Obama for doing it. But then they realized they can't get the support of the American working class. So because of Donald Trump, they saw the ordinary Americans want reason, order and patriotism.

52:30 So they decided they have to replace the American working class with millions of third world colonists who will vote as they are told. This is rank evil, John, I mean, the bottom line is this is just rank spiritual war, and the people need to understand this. This is why they have to mount up an offense against this evil. Part of that has to be prayer. We have to pray because this is a spiritual war, and the war is in each of our hearts. I mean, every day tempted to despair and just climb into a crawl into a bottle of bourbon because it's so bad. What we face is so dark. But there are signs of thererow glimmers of hope. What Donald Trump did with Greenland was hard ball negotiation, but it ended up with a good defense agreement that's going to allow the US to control the Arctic Circle and keep Russian and Chinese influence and maybe troops from landing in North America.

53:30 Yeah, could you imagine what it would take. I mean, here, Greenland's trying to defend its country and what's this sind sixteen soldiers to defend its country. Give me a break, Yeah. I mean all these leftists getting upset about a foreign colony of a European monarchy. I Greenland is a colony of a European monarchy. That's something the left used to hate. But again, anything Donald Trump is for, they'll be against. And they hate Trump because he's one of the only conservative politicians who connected with ordinary people since Ronald Reagan. And instead of welcoming him, the Republican Party turned on him because all these envious losers who couldn't get elected presidents shouldn't be elected dogcatcher. They didn't say, oh wow, finally someone can carry our ideas across through to the end line. No, like, no, wait, what about No, it's my turn. Remember we nominated Bob Dole for president in nineteen ninety six because it was his.

54:27 Turn, Yes, right, exactly. That is not a serious political party. And then John McCain because it was his turn, yeah right. And then when at a time when America was against the Iraq war and immigration, we elect a pro war open borders Rhino Hack, who had been one of the most corrupt senators in America, and then, in order to cover up all his campaign chicanery, he backed campaigned finance reform, which meant no free speech for Americans. You can have pornography on the Internet, but you can't have political speech. It's the exact opposite of what the First Amendment was meant to do. But John McCain, you know, dutifully and then he went out and lost gracefully to Barack Obama, being the good Washington senator that he won Washington General that he was.

55:15 Yeah, and he tied the hands of his vice presidential candidate in the meanwhile, too, which is a whole nother story. We got a minute left. I'm gonna let you wrap it up. I think a lot of good news coming out of Dave Os and what Donald Trump has done. He stood up to the Europeans and the administration just to announce it's finally going to end grotesque experiments with aborted babies that Fauci started during the COVID panic. They were grafting tissue from nine month aboarded babies onto mice to create these horrible experimental non human creatures, all in the name of fighting COVID, which let us not forget Anthony Fauci created COVID as part of as a bioweapons program, and then he was in charge. You're fighting it. If you don't see the corruption there, you're blonde.

56:03 Still nobody's in jail. That's the end of the story here so far, anyway. Doctor John Zamerica, author of No Second, No First Amendment, and the Politically and Correig Guide to Catholicism. The author and editor of Christian Nation, which is part of Emerald Robinson's substack. Doctor John, as always, we appreciate the time. Thank you, sir, take care, Thank you Bill.

That's eight hundred nine five nine seventy twenty. Getting America back on track. Bill Martinez Live. Hey, good morning, Welcome. Six minutes after the top of the hour, Bill Martinez here with Homara Hassami. What a story. She was born in Iran in nineteen sixty six, and at the age of sixteen, she graduated from high school with honors, but was denied acceptance to Iranian universities due to her political beliefs in activism. Her activism forced her to spend a significant period of time in prison in a word, as a teenager. She's here to tell us the story.

58:04 Homer. Welcome, Michelle. Good to have you with us. Good morning, Vale, how are you. Thanks for having me. I'm doing terrific. Happy New Year to you. In reading your story, I mean at such a young age. Here we have the Shaw of Iran following what in nineteen seventy nine, but prior to that you saw problems there in Iran and that raised your activism and put the spotlight on you. Ah. Yes, as you mentioned, the Shaws of Iran, you know, was in power back until nineteen seventy nine and people were very unhappy. There was an economic disparity, there was lack of social freedom, and so that caused a popular revolution against the Shaw, which overthrew him.

58:55 But a lot of. Activists were imprisoned at the Shaws time, so the society really didn't have time to discuss who Romaine was. And because Romiene was a religious leader, and of course the show let all the the mosques network you know in place, it didn't touch him. So Romeni was able to promise people freedom, the women's freedom, and people trusted him. So that's how it ended up that he kind of was trying to consolidate the power, but it didn't come very easy. The people resisted and that's why there were a lot of political groups formed after the revolution, and there were a lot of young people women were attracted to them.

59:44 One of the main organizations back then was the m K, the People's Majority Organization of Iran, which quickly became very popular among the youth and among the women, and so comes. You know, we fast forward to nineteen eighty one when Homeni realized that if it doesn't do anything, it's going to be overthrow by another popular uprising. So he banned all the political organizations and made a decree that anyone who's opposing the Supreme Leadership, which was he was in charge of that would be placed in prison and you can't kill them. So that was like a start of a very bloody era for the Iranian people, and many, many supporters of the different political groups were executed, were imprisoned, and the whole resistance, you know, became very just continued, you know, the resistance that they started to topple the show again form to topple this current regime.

1:01:01 Now that the show not the show, but Coomani. He was in exile before coming back to Iran. Correct, Correct, he wasn't exiled because he opposed the Shaw for very fundamentalistic views, like he opposed the Shaw because of the women's right, so Shaw said that women can vote, and because Romeni was very fanatic and very reactionary force, he opposed the show. So he had some clashes, but it wasn't from like a democratic view, you know. Abeli's view was very fundamentalistic and very maybe just backdated into the history, like the reactionary force. So he opposed it, and he was in exiled, but he wasn't in France.

1:01:52 He just moved to France. Maybe he was in Iraq, like a few months before the revolution. He was expelled from Iraq and went to France, and that's where it got a lot of media attention. So truly like he became like it was pushed to become like a leader. And as I said, because he was a religious and people trusted him, he was able to take over. And you would think just on the face that what he was, you know, promoting, you know, kind of an anti women agenda that the women themselves would stand up and say, you know, without you know, really understanding the iotola fully, you know, you're in trouble. You've got a revolution going on. The Shaw's government collapses and a void doesn't exist, and so I hope upon hope. You're you're hoping that the iyatola would be the answer, but as time would demonstrate, you ended up in not getting what you expected. I guess we can put it that way.

1:03:01 Yes, that's exactly what happened. People wanted freedom, you know, people weren't cheating for one person or another one. You know, the same thing that is here. People want the infra structure to be correct. We want freedom to be in place. So if there is freedom, then you can advertise for your group. You can advertise for ideology, and if it's something that people wanted, then that's good. So that's the one that people were looking for. And as you mentioned, women were actually the first who opposed harmony because harmine right after just a couple of months after the revolution, in March of nineteen seventy nine, there was a huge rally against a compulsory hedgehob because they started to limit the women. They said that if you want to come to the governmental agencies, you have to cover your hair.

1:03:55 So they kind of started in placing and forcing the head job on the women. Women resisted. There was a huge rally and there were you know, the big Iranian opposition, the mk who are actually you know, they're Muslim and their women. Cover their hair. They were participating in their rally as well, because it's the freedom of choice. You have to have a freedom to choose if you want to have the job or not his job. You know, if you remember, you know, being read in history that result Shaw is the father of Muhammad resort. He actually forced women to take off their job, which was resisted, and a lot of resentment among the people because you know, if you're living in one style and you know you're covering your hair for whatever reason, traditional or religious or anything, and you're forced to take it off, you know, that's as bad as you force a person to put it on. So what we're fighting for is freedom, freedom of choice.

1:05:00 Well, you definitely, as as I tell the kids all the time, I tell my children, experience defines preference. But wow, what you know, you had three decades of a nightmare of experience here and what I see happening in Iran right now. You know from our history books here in America you've got revolutionaries that are holding onto that same spirit that you talked about that you were looking for back in the latter nineties, you were just looking for freedom, but it seems that there is a real, definitive commitment to freedom that you know, it's putting a lot of pressure on the Iatola and the Malas. Right.

1:05:42 Yes, I mean that resistance to regime number one enemy is the people of Iran. When I went to prison, that was just so obvious to me. You know, I was a teenager, sixteen years old. That's amazing. I just unbelievable. But go ahead. But you know, sometimes you know, you tell a kid that this is a hot item, don't touch it, and when they touch it, they realize it's hot, so they So that's that's how, you know, my experience was. You know, I knew the regime is bad, the regime is this, but I really didn't realize that how awful and how evil this regime is, Like you cannot even compromise with the regime. So in prison, I realized that the regime is afraid of its main opposition, the MK, and I said, okay, so that's that gave me a guidance that you know what to do after I left present.

1:06:34 So exactly, the. Regime is, you know, it's evil and it has shown it before you know. The world is buitinessing it right now with the level of atrocities, with the level of massacre that you see. But this is not new for us, you know, as Iranian people exactly. We're talking with home Era has saw me. We got to go to quick break. We'll talk more on the other side. Stay with us.

1:11:29 We're back with the home. Erasami as our guest in nineteen sixty six. She was born in Iran. At the age of sixteen, she spent some time in prison, so she experienced the harshness of the Ayatola and this new government that came into play after the Shaw was ousted in nineteen seventy nine. Give our audience an idea of what life was like in Iran under the Shaw prior before you know, everything went off off the skids there, but in terms of the level of experience freedom that you were enjoying, not that it was total, but it was definitely quite the contrast between the Shaw and the Ayatola.

1:12:16 I was, of course, you know, very young at the time that the show was in place, but I could hear that social freedom wasn't there. So people were older than me, you know, they were talking about that if you say something against the show, you'll be imprisoned. And there was torture. There was like savak is the secret police of the show, that was torturing people. And at the same time, you know, there was like socioeconomic you know, disparity among the people because there were like a few percentage of the people who were wealthy and then a lot of people were poor, and so there was a corruption.

1:12:59 So it was a lot of unsatisfactory you know, people were unsatisfied. And later on, you know, when. I was less reading you know, or all histories and listened to the official of the shows, then I realized the depth of you know, corruption and lack of social freedom and the torture and this you know, shurely had one single party, so you had to either be enrolled in that one or just be opposing you know, the show. So it's there was all those you know, got together and caused the people to revolt. Of course, you know what we ended up, you know right now was you know, this regime killed more than the show's regime killed. The economic disparity is even worse than the show's time. Women you know, back then they didn't have to cover their hair.

1:13:56 Right now, they have to cover their hair. So there were, you know, some differences, and this regime is much worse, But that doesn't justify that the Shaw's time was good. So the notion of that some media, gerven talks, or some notions that it is there that the people of Iran want to go back to the monarchy, that's just a ridiculous notion. You know, no one in the twenty first century wants to go back to have one person in charge of you. You know, that's just does not match with any democratic value. That's not what the Iranian people have sacrificed thousands and thousands, you know, to have to replace, you know, supreme leader with another figurehead that has a crown on it. So that's just not correct.

1:14:49 Yeah, I know that there's been some discussion here in the West thinking that maybe the Shaw's sun would be a consideration, But what I'm hearing is that no, because like you said, you don't want to have another crown running Iran. You want the people in charge of the government of Iran. Right do you want to embrace some Western democratic values and bureaucracy. If I can say that in a nice way. That's totally correct. There is a coalition it's called National Council of Resistance of Iran in CORO, which was formed in nineteen eighty one after all the chaos that the regime caused, as the main part of this is Amyka.

1:15:38 But there is a coalition of the people and they have a platform. Their platform is called ten Point Plan and this coalition is led by a woman, Mariam Rajabi. This ten point Plan is for Iran's future. It is very progressive. It addresses that the ballot boxes are the only criteria for running the country. There is a gender equality, there is social freedom, there is a freedom of assembly, freedom of press, there is a minorities have the rights. They're looking for a peaceful coexistence with our neighbors and the world, and they're looking for a non nuclear republic in Iran. So yeah, we are looking for and democratic system.

1:16:28 So Riza Pahlavi does not have a network inside Iran. He has not distanced himself with his father's past. You know, we all agree that the father was a dictator and that's why it was ousted. So you have to address, you know, what was going on back then. And he has like his position, his political views changes from week to week sometimes, so he doesn't have a very solid view of what he wants to do. He's in contact with the IRGC, you know, That's what he has said at multiple times. He's in direct contact with the IOGC.

1:17:10 So those are all very problematic. You know, the Ionian people don't want to do anything to do with the this regime. They want to overthrow it as its entirety. You know, they don't want to deal with like this faction or that faction, or this part of the IOGC is good, that part is not good. No, the whole regime must go. That's why they're like sacrificing their lives to tell us this message. Well, what's the truth, Omarah in terms of what's happening in Iran right now? We hear numbers anywhere from one thousand to twenty thousand people have been murdered in the streets of Iran. Can you give us some insight into the real truth of what's happening in the streets of Iran right now because everything's been blocked out. I know that the government has been searching homes where people have starlink Internet access and they are incarcerating reportedly or even murdering people who have internet access.

1:18:14 That's correct. The digital blackout is what the regime is using to cover its crimes against humanity. You know, the regime has committed a genocide, crimes against humanity and using the digital blackout to hide it, to continue to suppress people and to try to call the uprisings. But it has not been succeeded yet, you know, according to our sources, the National Council of Resistance, the PMI sources, you know, the classes are still continuing in pretty much all over the country, and the regime is trying very hard to like get the money. It doesn't you know, give the bodies to people. They're trying to charge families for the body.

1:19:09 It's just it's awful. But the resistance is going on and the protests, you know, the people are on the streets. There is actually martial law on unofficial martial law in place from like five or six pm. And if you would think if there wasn't anything and everything was quiet, then what would you happen. Like with all this martial on exactly, Well, how is the IRGC being paid right now? Because I understand Iran is hard pressed for funds. Yes, the regime uses all its money to first of all pay its suppressive forces. And that's why in the when we were in touch with our family, you know, inside Iran, we were told just the price of goods you know, have has gone up like three times just in a matter of that past ten days. So you would think that, you know, the regime is not gonna spend time, spend money on people. So and that's why the economy is getting worse and worse. So the regime is trying to you know, pay its suppressive forces first.

1:20:14 But I'm hoping that you know, they run out of money and with the help of international community to put more sanctions on it and you know, reduce put financial pressure on the regime. They are in a turmoil to even pay their own forces. The iogcy omer. How do you think the people in Iran are feeling about Donald Trump's support of their fight for liberty? I you know, We've always asked for the We welcome the pressure of the international community on the regime, and I think that has been the ask of the Iranian people for a long time. But if we want to have a sustained and democratstic system, regime change. It has to come from within. So that's the main part that you know, I want your audience to take home, because there is a well organized resistance underground. There are emy KAY affiliated resistance units underground. So that part, you know, probably we haven't been it hasn't been highlighted, you know, in the medium much. But there are these two or three people or even four or five, you know, people that are get together and we knew about these units for like a decade that they are active, and a lot of them they do activities. We see their activities.

1:21:44 They've gone to present and they come out. Sometimes they got executed, you know, we have a few of them that have been executed. So there there is a resistance inside Iran and international help with expedite the DAWNTFOLLO up the regime. So is this resistance such that the people there in Iran have the confidence that they could step into leadership and keep Iran from unraveling and turning into some sort of. Civil war Exactly? There was in just the last uprising, this current uprising that we are, there were a few towns and cities that were captured by and liberated by these units and the city was running in order, so it's not going to be a chaos because the employ structure is there.

1:22:39 Oh, we've been talking with Homera Hassami, as I said, was born in Iran in nineteen sixty six. At the age of sixteen, she graduated from high school with honors, but was denied acceptance to Iranian University's Zudoh or Political Beliefs and activism. We're grateful that she was here to give us an inside report and what's happening eron and bringing in the truth. Here to Bill Martinez. Live time share owners, listen to this.

1:26:31 That's Magavitamin dot com Nutrition for Patriots. Hey, good morning, welcome back. Good to have you with us. Bill Martinez here. Hey. You know this month, January is Birth Defects Awareness Month, and there's so much to understand that. In fact, one in every thirty three babies is born with a birth defect. Each year, nearly one hundred and fifty thousand babies are born in the United States with birth the eects, many with conditions so rare that most parents and even some clinicians have never heard of them. For thousands of these babies, fetal surgery can mean the difference between life threatening complications and a chance for a healthy future. Of approximately five thousand fetal surgeries done worldwide to treat these birth defects, a quarter of them have been performed at CHOP, one of the top ranked and largest children's hospitals in the US. Each week, at CHOP, highly sophisticated fetal surgery teams repair birth defects in the womb place fetal shunts to treat life threatening congenital conditions, or perform or performed minimally invasive procedures in the mother's uterus.

1:27:42 Here to tell us more about it is doctor Scott Atzig. He's a surgeon in chief of Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Doctor Atzig, welcome to the show. Good to have you with us, sir, Thanks Bill, What great news here, huh? I think? So we're living the dream every day? Oh wow? I mean what must that be like for you? Like you say every day? I mean this year different than last year, new discoveries, advancements and all that. Sometimes you feel like you got a tiger by the tail here in a good way. Yeah, that's probably probably a good way to describe it. But we need to rein in that tiger. That tiger for the benefit of mothers and unborn babies.

1:28:26 When you say rein it in specifically, what do you mean, I. Mean treat So you know birthday. This is as you mentioned in January's Birth Effects Awareness Month. So it's important for your listeners first of all, to know that a little bit more about anatomic and genetic birth effects. In the US, one in thirty three babies is born with a birth defect, whether they're common or costly. Billions of dollars required for medical treatment. Birth effects are merciless. No parent is immune or mists. Most causes of birth effects are unknown, are overlooked. In my view, research I believe is underfunded and they're deadly serious. Birth effects are the leading cause event of mortality. So nationwide, on a yearly basis, nearly one hundred and fifty thousand babies are born with birth defects, and many are so rare even doctors may not recognize them before birth, and too often families never hear about specialized treatments available as centers like ours. I'm not feeling overwhelmed and alone, but you and I are going to fix that today.

1:29:33 Bill Well, I'll tell you that's a dream And I love that because, like you said, the impact that this has, you know, on the families, but on the children, you know, a precious life with the future that could be so tremendously altered because of the surgery, the fetal surgery that's taking place these days. Right. Yeah, there's a saying here from sieverra Koop, who is the first Sergeon in Chief and was the Surgeon General of the United States and the Reagan administration that if you operate on a child and cure that child, you save a lifetimes. That's I think we're saving lifetimes. Yeah, I mean, you think of the generational impact that's there, it's just unbelievable. In fact, I was reading something here recently, doctor Adsick that you know, one child represents I think the connection of over I'm trying to remember the number, I think was over four thousand lives. You know that goes back, you know, in the most immediate generations. So, yes, the impact is quite dramatic. What types of birth effects can be helped with fetal surgery.

1:30:40 Well, there's a whole lesson you've you've recited that we've had since nineteen ninety five when our center was founded. And is now the largest such fetal therapy center in the world thirty five thousand referrals and we've done close to three thousand fetal surgery. So what do we do fetal surgery for. Well, if we have say two thousand mothers who are referred to us in a given year, only about ten percent will be candidates for treatment before birth. Most birth effects can be treated after birth. There's really only the life threatening or devastating ones that we treat before birth. And I'll give you two examples of fetal surgery cases. One is for spinabifita. So what is that. Well, finibifita is a birth defect where the spine and spinal cord don't form properly, leaving a gap a hole in the backbone that leads to before birth nerve damage due to neurotoxic amniotic fluid, which is mostly fetal urine ability problems in the children after birth. These are the wheelchair bound kids. Hydrocephalis are a fluid on the brain that causes brain damage. So I think we can now prepare this before birth. The baby is still in the mother's womb at twenty three to twenty five weeks gestation, when the fees is about the size of my hand and term is forty weeks, so you know very early, and children who undergo fetal surgery are much more likely to be able to eventually walk and avoid a shunt two for hydrocephalus, and have a variety of other good outcomes.

1:32:11 So we did the first such fetal surgery for spina bilfilo back in nineteen ninety eight, and now we're about to do our five hundredth fetle surgery respondability. Second condition is called twin twin transfusion syndrome, or the acronym is TTTS for sure. So what is that Identical twins in the uterus, Of course, separate ambniotic sacks, and fetus is supposed to have its own ascent, which is like a disc that connects the umbilical cord to the mother's circulation. In this condition a twin twin transfusion syndrome, there's a shared placenta between the twins. That's that problem is that one twin gets too much blood from the mother and goes into heart failure and develops an excess of ambiunic fluid, and the other twin doesn't get enough blood and goes in the kidney failure produce any fetal urine or ambianic fluid.

1:33:02 So the way to treat that is, which is almost always a fatal condition, but a fetoscope into the uterus through the maternal down on the wall and the uter wall. Visualized the PERCENTA use a laser fiber total coagulator or block the culporate blood vessels going from one side to the other, and with this approach we can save a ninety percent plus of both twins with this therapy. That's incredible. I mean, what blows me away, doctor Azik is the fact that you know, medicine has advanced to the point that you can identify this issue. As we mentioned earlier, there's many maladies here that a lot of people don't even know about. And here you are, you're on the cutting edge and you know a lot about these you're discovering even more and you're able to find this solution. Being able to do this, you know these kind of surgeries in vitro and you know, change lives.

1:33:59 This is the it's just blos How how recent has it been or how long has it been since you've been able to deal with TTS. Starting in the late nineties, and then fetal surgery responded that it was nineteen nine ninety eight and some of the other things for like fetal urintractive instruction. We're in the early nineties, but there's been an acceleration of advances and there are we have trained many others who populate fetal treatment centers in North America, South America, the Far East, and Europe. Our east is Poland, so that's very gratifying to have that scale and that of those teaments available for patients.

1:34:41 Well, and to think about that this has been what three decades, you're celebrating your thirtieth anniversary and so the kind of breakthroughs that we're talking about right now, Wow, this is awesome. I mean, thank you for coming on and updating our audience about this. You know, on this month, January worry being Birth the Effects Awareness Month, it's clear that we need to be more aware. Yes, I agree, and you might be interested in your listeners might be interested in three developments that are on the horizon, Go ahead, yes, well as doctor William Pronto, one of our pediatric surgical scientists and fetal surgeon, is working on in utero gene editing to treat single gene disorders such as cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, muscular district, a whole variety of things that could be diagnosed before birth, replacing that abnormal gene before birth. Right now, we're in the fetal animal work stage, but it's extremely promising and when this hits clinically, it will save and cure thousands of unborn patients that can developments. Alan Blank, one of our pediatric surgical scientists and fetal surgeons, is working on the artificial womb, a way to support clinically baby it's born much too soon twenty three twenty four to twenty five weeks gestation, with the death rates very high and those who survive have high complication rates. He hopes to use the artificial womb to support these extremely premature babies for three, four or five more weeks and get them

1:36:11 into a range where the mortality plummets and the morbidter d complications also plummets. So that's maybe ready for clinical trial by the end of this calendar year. The third area is use of big data and artificial intelligence. We call that the Clinical Outcomes Data Archive called CODA cooda for short, first of its kind, database that combines real time medical records with carefully reviewed clinical information to improve neal diagnosis and care. And since twenty thirteen, CODA has tracked every mother in feet has treated in shop Special Delivery unit. Now holds more than fifteen million data points from over fifteen thousand patients. Clinicians make earlier, better informed decisions as being applied right now for all babies born in our Special Delivery Unit in that crucial first hour of life with a complex birth. The effect to get the best information, the best algorithms, the best outcomes, big data, artificial intelligence.

1:37:10 Doctor Atzick, looks like we've got a lot of positive news on the horizon here, and we could be having, you know, quite a different discussion five years from now at least, right. I would count on the discussion being different next year when you and I speak again. I'll look forward to it. Doctor Scott Adseck, the surgeon in chief at CHOP and founder and director of CHOP Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment. They are, by the way, the largest and most comprehensive fetal program in the world. Where else can they go for more information? Doctor Atzick. The website for Short's Hospital Fildel.

1:42:04 Hey, good morning, welcome back. Good to have you with us. Bill Martinez here with the infamous Bill de Augustino. It's okay, Bill, if I make you infamous, right, I mean, actually you've done it yourself. I'm just echoing the reality what you've done here. But thank you so much for all the great work. He's a research analyst for MRC's News Analysis Division and a staff writer for NewsBusters. So welcome back. Always good to have you with us. Yeah, always great to be on Bill. Good to see you. Hey, let's talk Ice. I mean, clearly, all this negative reporting, I mean it really reflects and is consistent with the kind of reporting that has anything to do with Donald Trump, conservatism, anything that seems to be good. The mainstream media is anti everything, and they've been anti Ice without even really considering the cause and effect here, and they're coming up with their own narrative like we're surprised, right right right.

1:42:58 You know. I got to be honest. I always a little bit downtrodden when when I average everything together and end up with like ninety two or ninety three percent negative, because it feels like that's always about what we end up with whenever we study the broadcast networks. And I have I have coworkers that joke that I could just be throwing darts at a board, you know, just like spin the wheel something between ninety and ninety five. And but but yeah, I'd rather have the data because there's there's some pretty wild things in some of the coverage. For example, we had a Nicole Skanga at CBS referring to officer Jonathan Ross who shot Renee Good, referring to that incident as a murder, not even alleged murder, just as a murder, which was remarkable.

1:43:41 We looked through how much of the coverage actually had to do with the illegal aliens themselves that ICE is, you know, like there to deport to begin with, right, that's kind of the whole reason that they're there. There was it was on average about six per or sorry, one point six percent of the coverage was had anything to do with the crimes being committed by these illegal aliens. So vast, vast majority of this coverage was basically just ginning up negative sentiment and panic and fear about Ice Ice doing this job. Right exactly, And going back to what you said earlier, I remember when I was in journalism school, you know, if you failed to use alleged or you know, some sort of non conviction term, you know, with anything, it was a major offense. Now it's just accepted, I mean, which is unbelievable because you know, this is not representative of an objective press. By no means, and they continue to lose credibility when they do things like this, and they need to be called out on it because you know, I don't know necessarily if it if it breaks the law, but it definitely breaks the principles of professional journalism. And where's professional journalism? Where are you know, the voices of professional journalism that are all being compromised and they're all being put in the same bucket. I would not want to be a journalist frankly right now, because I'd have to be associated with stuff like this. And this is

1:45:14 not just an exception, right, I mean, this seems to be more common than exceptional. Oh, it absolutely is. And I mean the sad thing is, even if you did want to be a journalist right now, you probably wouldn't be able to. I mean certainly not at any one of these networks because a lot of a lot of the bias in all of the reporting, a lot of the narrative crafting happens at the hiring phase, right. I mean I don't think that that you know, for example, at ABC, that the newsroom is having these big meetings where they're where they're saying every night, you know, well, make sure that the report makes ICE look bad, right, Like, nobody at ABC or NBC or CBS needs to be told that. Well, that's because they were hired for that purpose, right, They were hired for the purpose of pushing this left wing agenda, and so they all just kind of automatically do it, right, It's like a set it and forget it sort of model.

1:46:05 Well, they're hired from a pool of universities. I mean, if you look at them, I think there's nineteen universities that are consistently liberal, and so this is their dogma. Yeah, yeah, no, exactly exactly, and it's it kind of it highlights what sort of challenges anybody who tries to reform one of these networks, like for example, Barry Weiss is going to face, because I mean, if you're going to fire all of the bad apples, then you're basically just going to be left with an empty newsroom and a brand name, right, Like it really is that bad. I mean you can count the number of real professional journalists on any of these networks on one hand. And so that's really the issue that we run up against, and that's how we consistently see above ninety percent negative on anything associated with the Trump administration with the Republican Party or conservatism writ large, because these people are in journalism who smear all of those things to the best of their ability.

1:47:03 Well, they're so you know, they're so closed minded, and I will say that, I mean, they're so ideologically fixed that they legitimately built. They can't see it any other way. I mean, I hear some of these politicians and I'm going, you know, help me understand your viewpoint, and boy, they're just you know, they're sold out one hundred percent. I watch Eric Swalwell the other day talk and I'm thinking, Mike, how can you reason with somebody who is unreasonable? But the thing is he probably looks at me and thinks the same thing. You know. Well, I mean the thing about politicians like Eric Swalwell is they are so shameless in their pushing of the party line that I don't know, And frankly, I think it's rather immaterial whether or not they actually believe even like a quarter of the things that they say. Right, it feels like it's all tactical. It is so it is so cynical, and everything is in such bad faith that there's there's basically no discussion to be had because if you push back on any one of the points that that these people make, you're basically just going to get a cavalcade of talking points right of thought, of thought, terminating cliches, and so there's there's almost no point to have a debate anymore. It's exhausting. But to see the media doing much of the same thing, I mean, that's there's something particularly galling about that, right.

1:48:25 Because yeah, politicians, go ahead. I'm sorry, Well, no, that's fine. It's it's a politician's progative to be as dishonest as he wants to, right, to try to get elected, to toe the party line. It's not a good thing, but it's something that I think most Americans have come to expect. But to see that same behavior from journalists is significantly more disturbing, because these are the people who go out every day and claim that they are just bringing you the objective truth, right, that they're being they're just being honest. Well, these are the same people that myself and other people who have served the country for freedom of the press and our constitutional freedoms, and over a million have given up their lives for. This is how we're being misrepresented.

1:49:12 And I don't think the media has the capacity or the conscience and consideration of that investment that was made on their behalf to deliver, you know, fair minded journalism for the good of all concerned, and that means everybody, whether you're Republican, Democrat, independent, you know, can you measure up and meet that standard? And right now, in my humble opinion, journalism is failing miserably at the cost of all of us. Right, yeah, no, I think that's that's basically a spot on assessment. The entire field has been perverted into a means of political activism just by another name. And whenever there's there's some new variety of journalism that springs up, it immediately gets corrupted in the same fact like fact checking for example. I mean, what is fact checking these days except just basically opinion journalism with a fancy title, right, I mean, it's it's a fact checker essentially just argues with politicians that they dislike and they say, oh, well that's false because you didn't consider my point of view, which is this, this, and this.

1:50:17 Right. That's not a fact check. You're you're debating somebody, and then you're just slapping a false label on it. Right, all in the name of fact checking, in the name of fact, who's fact you know, kind of deal? Right, No, it's not a fact. It's an opinion, you know, any more than you know Barack Obama announcing, you know, in talking about science, he goes, it's a fact. Well I'm sorry. In scientific terms, nothing is a fact. It's either a law or it's a theory. It's not a fact. Right, yeah, no, exactly exactly. And I mean, look, there is like, there is such a thing as ontological truth. But to be so vain, so so conceited as to think that you consistently wield ontological truth. You you can see through the veil, right, you, you alone are able to determine what reality is is it's so arrogant, right, I mean we see there there are there are newsrooms now that have misinformation experts. I mean, what do you have is your degree in fact? Is your degree in information?

1:51:18 Like it's it's it's laughable to think about, right. I mean, if you if you want somebody to disprove claim by someone, bring in somebody who's an expert in the in whatever topic that claim pertained to. Right, You can't have a generalist information expert. I mean, it's it's it's ridiculous the second you start thinking. About it, now it really is. And plus on top of that, to hear you lay this sound bill, I mean, would you want to be the ontological expert? I mean basically you're saying you're god. Right, that's that is, That is essentially what they're saying. Yeah, they're declaring, we alone have the power to determine what the truth is. That's that's kind of the whole grift of fact checking is it's it's bestowing yourself with this unearned authority to decide what reality is for anybody who will listen. And that is I mean that's so it's incredibly myopic, but it's also it's very dystopian.

1:52:11 Well, all that the the damage the major networks are doing in prolonging UH this attack on ice and UH clearly even JD. Vance pointed out, you know, with fact of reality that including blue cities where there was cooperation, you don't you don't have this kind of craziness. But it's like Minneapolis needs therapy. I mean, they are they're so ideologically messed up that how do you bring them back to be a part of UH I don't know humanity and civil and civility. I mean this, this ideology is so totalistically corrupting that for a lot of these people, I don't know what the answer is. You You were getting at something though, that I think is really important, and it's something that the broadcast networks in our study, basically, it's a question that they never posed or attempted to answer, which is why Minneapolis, Why why do we see this happening here of all places this time? And the reason is simply because ICE went into Minneapolis to enforce the law, and so well, why did that lead to this? Because Minneapolis is a sanctuary city, right, because Minnesota is a sanctuary state.

1:53:28 Is that is the sole reason that everything else kind of springs from in this story. It's because the police are not apprehending illegal aliens and then handing them peaceably over to ICE. They're not allowed to work with ICE, and so ICE has to go out and do these operations themselves. And that's what this look looks like, right. It's it's it's not preventing deportations from happening, which is I guess the ostensible goal of sanctuary cities, which is insane by the way. I mean, that's that's basically just lawlessness codified into policy. But that's what that's what I've That's what I'm observing, is that the reason is it's incompatible with the Constitution.

1:54:08 It is lawless on its face. So now you bring law into a lawless society, what do you think is going to happen? Right? And it's it's not. You're not preventing the border enforcement from happening. You're just making it more difficult and more dangerous for everybody involved. And so at a certain point, the keen observer has to ask the question, well, what is the point of all of this? And part of it kind of feels like forcing this confrontation is the point, right. I think that a lot of the Democrats basically calculated, well, this will be an optics win for us, and maybe we will be able to essentially Heckler's veto or or mass opinion nullify immigration law by just putting up a huge fight against any federal agent that attempts to enforce the law.

1:54:56 They seem to have miscalculated that, because the administration has responded pretty aggressively and surged more federal agents into Minneapolis. But again, the entire mess on their hands right now is as a result of their own deliberate failure to cooperate. Well, it's back to the lesson you learned in kindergarten in the sandbox of life, and that is when you're bullied, you got a bully back. If you don't, you're owned. And this is what it comes down to. I mean, Minnesota, Minneapolis are bullying ice officers and they're bullying the rule of law. So give them what they expect, don't disappoint them.
