The Bill Martinez Show 06 16 26

0:00 Are you ready? Yeah, Okay, let's do an ill Martina's Live, a program about current events. Our culture, our values, our politics, and our future. And now Bill Martinez, Well. Good morning America. Good to have you with us. Six minutes after the top of the hour, and we've got our favorite legal end list, the one and only Horace Cooper, the former constitutional law professor, recognized legal commentator and author. Horace, Good morning to you. How are you. It is great to be on the program. I feel blessed today. Well, I'll tell you it's always a blessing to have you around, Sir. I appreciate you and lots to talk about. With the latest Scotis decisions, I want to talk about an old Scotis decision which happened and it was I got to tell you, it's almost like I'm waiting for the news to catch up with everyone. It's almost reminding me of the emancimation Emancipation Proclamation. You know, when Abraham Lincoln set out the eaticch and freed the slaves. It took a while aisle for it to go across the country.

1:01 And I feel this way somewhat, And I don't know if you'd agree or not. Horace. But that is when the Court decided that institutional racism was done with, that it had run its course. And to me, I just felt like America should have just come out in the streets yelling and screaming, jumping up and down and going, you know, good God, Almighty free at last. You know. It is remarkable to me, and I guess in a way this is like Abraham Lincoln, the President of the United States Proclamation on the Ending of Slavery. The Supreme Court, after almost one hundred and twenty five years, looked at the actual language of the Fourteenth Amendment and said what everybody thought it meant when they actually adopted it and then ratified it is, in fact what it means. The federal government may not use race as a proxy for deciding who gets an advantage or who is disadvantage, whether that's gerrymandering, whether that's so called race based affirmative action, even government programs that like the Biden administration created that just singled out certain races for eligibility. The Supreme Court

2:39 has flatly made it clear. And to me, it's such a treasure to see that a black member of the Supreme Court is standing firm in recognizing what our founders intended it. To me, it's it's so liberating. But like I said, I'm frustrated inasmuch as that I want the rest of the country to get caught up and really understand what that represents. Because you know, for most of my life, Horse, I've been told that I'm prejudiced, and I go, I don't. I don't get it. I don't see it. You know, I think I may have shared with you that, you know, I grew up in a multi racial community and look at you know, we played ball with all races and creeds and colors and everything like that. And in the Little League, we didn't care what color your skin was.

3:30 Was gosh, can you catch the darn ball? Can you get a darning hit once in a while? You know that that's that's all. That's all we cared about. We didn't care about colored skin. And then I go to college and all of a sudden, you know, these same kids I grew up with, you know, they're now involved with the Black Panthers, and they're shouting things at me that I'm going, well, what happened? Did I miss a memo here or something? You know, it was a youth pastor that sat me down and said, there was a time during the period after Jesus's death where there was a dispute that arose. Were the people who called themselves practicing Jews considered better than the people who were not Jewish at all, Many of them were Greek, but who had adopted the faith.

4:24 And my youth pastor said, when God said that he sent his only begotten son to save the world, he meant the Greek and the jew He won the male and the female, and that that's how God's love worked. And I heard that as an eighth grader, and it just dawned on me. Wait a second. If God doesn't see us differently because quote, we have these immutable characteristics, why are we doing it? And I have embarked on a lifetime of understanding. I'm not perfect. I can't get up on the cross. But if God is open to the idea that we should love every person regardless of their immutable characteristics, that's the minimum that I should be able to join in and do.

5:24 Wow, how powerful in eighth grade to have that kind of revelation and for it to take root in your heart. That says a lot horse Cooper about first of all, the youth pastor that talked to you and shared truth with you like that, and for you, you know, to have the character that could embrace that and understand that is godly wisdom, because you know that is a gift from God. That is so liberating. Because at the end of the day, as our good friend doctor ALBERTA. King would repeatedly say to me, Bill, we're one blood, and. Then right and true, that's not fue in the case. And I have to say I today fill a special degree of support for missionaries precisely because they bring a truth that pills off the cover from the minds and eyes of people and let them see the world as it should be. All that we are doing at Project twenty one is just saying, look, you know this is true.

6:30 You know there actually is no inherent difference between someone who's right handed and someone who's left handed, someone who has big feed, someone who is tall, someone who is short, someone who has small feet. And yet the left has weaponized these kinds of distinctions. And you know, just as an example, when they were doing their election gerrymandering activities, they specifically were saying special treatment for people solely on the basis of race. That's not what we fought for.

7:12 That's not what we sacrifice for. Our constitution embodies these Christian principles, and whenever you're jumping away from those Christian principles, you need to review and look and see where you are. And the bottom line of all this horse is that they've been doing. Like you said, this has gone on for over one hundred years. This is what we've been told, how we're supposed to believe. And then you try and square it up with what God says, and it's almost like I can hear God, you know, shouting to us, like he did speak ever so gently and pointedly to Adam and Eve who told you that? Right? Yeah, absolutely. You know. Here's my irony. If someone came to me and I was super, super thirsty, I almost felt like I was going to pass out, and they said, oh, just go right over here to the right ten feet there's a faucet. I would be grateful, But the left says, how dare you intervene in that way? But so judgmental.

8:14 Maybe they don't want to go right. It is unbelievable to see the level of hostility that the left has to the very types of knowledge that actually freese human beings and brings them happiness. It is that ongoing battle of good and evil and those that you know, As the Bible says, it's not against flesh and flesh and bone. It's the spirit of this world. These spirits that operate in darkness and are hidden, those are the ones that we're warring against, not those that we see in front of us that are flesh and blood. We've got to go to quick break.

Welcome back dol Martinez here with the former constitutional law professor, recognized legal commentator, a co chair Project twenty one National Advisory Board forres I used to put a bow around what we were talking about previously, you know again, just like it took, you know, it took some decades for people to realize that the chains have been cut off that were free, and it may take some healing and some awareness to realize that yes, it's not about the color of our skin. It is as doctor King said, the content of our character after all. Right, Yeah, so Bill.

14:07 I'm gonna compliment you, but I mean it in a sincere way. You work hard to make your program something that is of value to your audience. If it wasn't a value, you wouldn't keep your audience. What the Left says is that what you have, what you have created, is something unique and is unfair. It's not about your hard work, it's not about your sacrifice. It's just some lottery that you have been given. And that advice is so awful. But that's the advice that the Left gives people when they say, sleep in, don't worry about working, don't study, don't do your homework. If your boss gives you an assignment and you don't like it, just don't do it. This is awful advice, and this is what the Left does generally. They say to people, many of whom really need to hear the truth to undertake the absolutely worst ideas. We're watching this in Texas, where a young man killed another young man, and the Left wants us to believe that the only reason why the living young man was punished was because of his race, not

15:37 because of the dastardly thing that he did exactly. Well, this is what the left prais on, you know, and everything that you just shared, Horace. And this is what I've become more observant of is that the Left is committed to dumbing everybody down. Hey man, they want to mediocritize everybody because a mediocre constituency is easier to be manipulated. Right. Well, again, it's easier to sleep in than it is to get up and work. It's easier to shirk off and blame your boss for being overbearing than to shoulder the burden and do the work. If I had been in the life of the Carmelo family, Carmelo Anthony Fan Anthony, I would have said, as soon as this happened, we're going down to the sheriff's office. You're going to acknowledge what you did wrong. And you're saying, I plan to plea and I'll accept whatever the sanction was. What the Left says is it's okay to pretend that you have no idea what happened. This case was a slam dunk case.

16:56 It wasn't complicated, It didn't require a lot of intuition to comprehend what had occurred. This wasn't a provoked event. This was a pre planned event. But if mom and dad had gone in and just simply said my son acted in anger and hate and he understands that it was wrong, there would not have been a thirty five year sentence. But when you make the prosecutor whom what everybody knows actually happens, and then you refuse, you refuse to admit it. It is ironic to only a few on the left that the only time the young man cried was when he was found guilty, and when he was given a sentence. At no point, hearing about the loss of life of the person whose life he destroyed, did he even tear up. That is what the left says. Well, you don't have to be responsible, you don't have to act with care. You know what, it's not easy to go in and admit you did something wrong, exactly now, because his parents didn't agree to stand up and do what was right and what was godly, their son is looking at thirty five years behind bars.

18:28 You know, this is such a heartbreak, you know, for both families. I feel for both of them truly, and but you know, let's pause for a minute and consider this is the fruit of our current society, and this would happened, right. I mean, this is a societal issue, and I think it's an opportunity for all of us to consider. You know, what's happened here. Yes, Carmelo Anthony is going to jail for thirty five years, but this is you know we've got to think about. Is this the yes we can do for our young kids is to give them a purpose and a plan to go and murder somebody again.

19:09 At no point was this a hard case. It's a sad case. It's sad for both families. It's a very, very sad case. But it would have been in my situation with my grandmother and my mother and father, they would have marched me right down. I walked out of a store once with Eminem's, the chocolate with the peanuts inside. Oh. When my father saw me with that, he realized instantly that I hadn't paid for it. And guess what, After I put some salve on my backside, some of us went back to hand this open bag over to the clerk apologize, and then I watched my father pay for it.

20:03 I didn't get to keep those Eminems up. That's leadership that couples the right kind of behavior when this young man told his parents what they should have understood immediately, that he was provoked, that it was just a fight that broke out when his parents and the people who nurtured him heard that story, instead of setting up a go fund where they got more than half a million dollars so that they could claim that being black is the only reason these charges were filed, exactly, a death occurred, That's why charges were filed, and no person stood up to accept responsibility.

20:54 Yeah. Well, speaking of which, you know the things that have been used for fundraising, the SPLC does not have a good look here right now. Horus Cooper. Absolutely, Southern Poverty Law Center has been wrong for a while by identifying so many people of faith as terrorists, as advererance, as people who were dangerous, people who threatened, and of course the mighty powerful word bigots and racist. They labeled people like doctor Ben Carson at.

21:35 Such find out. Yeah, now we find. Out, but there's not enough bigotry and racism in America. So the SPLC went and contracted out to get more racism and bigotry in America that they then used as a basis for explain I mean, why they played such an important role. This is awful that a group that was formed at a time when my grandparents needed someone to stand up for them and protect them, that they would now turn into a group that would condemn my grandparents for the thoughts that they had for being great Christian people, for understanding that biblical principles and integrity guide our lives. Now the SPOC is the enemy of that kind of upright just behavior on the part of faith based communities. I guess it's just ironic that we caught them at this and now they're likely to be labeled the very bigots that they used to label others.

22:57 And they've maintained their position. I mean, in double day, I mean horace. The conversation that you and I've had, based on their own standards, could be declared as hate speech. Well absolutely, I mean, look, people used their list of locations and organizations and engaged in not just hateful rhetoric, but actual violence exactly. Charley Kirk's not alive today, and it's partly because this group and groups like it fed an unfair narrative. It wasn't well, maybe you don't agree with Charlie Kirk, it was he was the embodiment of hate, hostility, and bigotry, and some sick people hear this message and they respond with violence.

I'm always good to have him here, the author of gun Control miss also the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center. Hey John, how are you doing great? It's great to talk to again. Always going to be talking to you. I guess violent crime is dropping as more Americans are packing heat.

28:35 Huh yeah, Well I think this last year twenty twenty five, Will we will have seen the lowest murder rate ever recorded in US history. You know, they have murdered data, the federal government has since nineteen hundred, so that's about one hundred and twenty six years, and the lowest previous murder rate we ever had was four point five five murders per hundred thousand people. But it looks like this last year it was probably it was probably down to below four per hundred thousand, and twenty twenty four was about five per hundred thousand, So you know, this was substantially below anything we had previously seen, and there are reasons for it that we can talk about. But one of the things that we have seen is that there's been a big increase in the rate that people are carrying concealed handguns. At the end of twenty twenty four, we also did a survey on people carrying and one of the reasons why we've been doing the survey is that we for about fifteen years, we've been looking at the number of concealed carry permits that have been issued.

29:54 The problem is is that over the last few years, in particular, I've had this huge increase in the number of constitutional carry states. Since twenty twenty one, over a third of the US population now is in addition living in constitutional carry states. We have twenty nine constitutional carry states all together. Now, explain to the audience what it means to be in a constitutional carry state. What does that mean? Yeah, I was going to do that. Thanks. Well, you have two types of states. You have those where you have to have a permit to carry, so called right to carry, shall issue type laws, and then you have these twenty nine states where it's no longer necessary to have a permit to carry as long as you're able to legally own a gun, as long as you're able to legally pass a background check, then you're able to go and get it to carry your concealed handgun. And we just have a a hard number on the number of permits. We don't know the number of people who are carrying who can legally carry, and so that's the reason why we do the survey.

31:11 Between the end of twenty twenty four. And now, there's been over a five percent increase in the rate that people are carrying concealed handguns. Right now. Among general election voters, you find that about almost thirty percent of Americans who vote who are going to vote in the general election actually carry, and it's higher in the constitutional carry states. It's about thirty four percent in those states, and it's about twenty percent who are carrying in the other twenty one states. What's motivating that number, John.

31:52 Well, I think you can go and look to see what's happening over the last few years in terms of constitutional carry, and I think a lot of that had to do with COVID that when you had over half the states there stop issuing concealed carry permits when we had obviously there are a lot of concerns about crime and other things, and so states moved to move to constitutional carry because they said, look, you know, if the system breaks down and you're not able to go and issue permits to people, they're stuck, you know, And so they moved to constitutional carry to give them an option. Now, there are other things.

32:42 That are going on. When you what determines whether a lot of people carry is the cost of being able to go and carry. You know, when you have to pay for a permit, you know, it could be eighty dollars, could be one hundred dollars, could be more or less depending upon the state that you're in. That effects the number of people are caring. When you're talking about constitutional carry, there's no longer a fee that you have to go and pay to be able to go and do that. Also, you know, particularly for women, there might be something that just occurs suddenly. They may start being stalked or threatened. Under the old rules where you had to go and get a permit in all these stays, what would happen is is that it could take forty five days, sixty days, ninety days, maybe even a year in some places once you apply for the permit to be issued. Well, if a woman's being stocked or threatened, she may not have forty five days to wait to be able to start to carry.

33:45 She may need to do so right now. And one of the things that we see is that in constitutional carry states, the relative rate that women are carrying relative to men is relatively higher, and that may be part of it. One of the things that's very interesting is just to see the breakdown of who's caring. You look at blacks and Hispanics. Blacks make up about eleven percent of general election voters, but they make up over fifteen percent of those who are legally caring. Hispanics. It's even more disproportionate. Hispanics make up also about eleven percent of general election voters, but they make up over eighteen percent of those who carry all or most of the time, so that's quite disproportionate.

34:37 There. Another group that was surprising was people who are very liberal. So if you break it down by people's political views, you know they're very liberal, liberal, moderate, conservative, very conservative. The group that's carrying at the highest rate are those who are classified as very liberal. The ones who carry at the second highest rate are those who classify themselves as very conservative. Overall, Democrats carry at a low rate compared to Republicans or independents. But it's interesting that there are groups within kind of their constituency, like those who are very liberal or minorities who are carrying at high rates.

35:28 In these non constitutional states twenty one and they have various different types of restrictions on gun ownership, right. Yeah. And also there's big differences in terms of the cost of getting a concealed carry permit. You have some place like Illinois where the total cost of fees and training probably around four hundred and fifty dollars to go and get a permit. In parts of California, the cost is probably around one thousand dollars to do that, whereas you have another state like Pennsylvania, which is also a right to carry, not a constitutional carry state, where it costs about twenty dollars is the total cost of getting a permit. So you have very wide variations there, and that affects the rate that people go and get permits in those different places.

36:23 You got to imagine, John, some of these states that you just mentioned, in areas where crime is up so high, how insecure these people must feel because they're totally relying on law enforcement. And it's these same blue states that want to get rid of law enforcement. It's just it doesn't make sense. Sure, Well, yeah, I mean there are lots of things that affect crime. You know, it's not rocket science. As you and I have talked about many times before. If you want to reduce crime, you have to make it riskier for criminals to go and commit crime. And you can do that with higher rest rates, which is going to be related to the police, higher convection, conviction rates, longer prison sentences with prosecutors will handle and judges. But you can also make it risky by allowing victims to be able to go and defend themselves. And uh. Now in some places, uh, you've had these soros district attorneys like Elvin Bragg and New York City and Kim Fox and Chicago, and up until recently similar people in Los Angeles and San Francisco. The voters there rejected and throughout the Democrat left wing Uh uh prosecute district attorneys that they.

37:45 Had in those places. But you know, if you don't want to prosecute people and if you don't want to put them in jail, uh, you're going to have higher crime rates and so and also, as you correctly mentioned, those places also make it our for people to defend themselves. Exactly. Got to go to quick break more from doctor John after this stay with us. Have you written a book? Where do you have a manuscript ready and just need to find the right publisher.

42:07 Hey, welcome back, Bill Martinez here with doctor John Lottie. He is the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, author of Gun Controlled miss John, you write in your recent Real Clear investigation report an interesting story about one Alessandra Cote, which is, you know, consistent with what you were talking in terms of you know, female participation, you know, women wanting to be you know, licensed to carry or to exercise their constitutional right to carry because you know, because of the danger and the vulnerability. Relate that story to our audience if you. Would, Yeah, sure, Well. Alexandro's a young single mother. She's been going to law school the last few years, and initially about two and a half years ago, when she was out on a hiking trail with her young daughter and a dog, a man came up and yelling and screaming at her and threatened to kill her dog. She was very scared, decided at that point that she wanted to be able to go and carry for protection. The thing is, she didn't have much money. She was poor student, single mom, couldn't really afford a nice place to live, was living in a relatively dangerous part of town. Fortunately, a few years ago, Utah passed constitutional carry, so she

43:40 was no longer necessary for her to have to pay the eighty dollars for the permit that was there. But she was able to go and get a hold of a gun and started carrying. And there were times, because there were homeless people and others who were living in her neighborhood that would kind of a cost her. And fortunately she never actually had to use the gun, but she could just let the person who was approaching her know that she was armed, and you know, the problem would dissipate. She would she was safe. Yeah, exactly. And this is just one of probably thousands, if not millions, of typical stories you know, of women like Alessandra Code that you know was being threatened. And this is why, again, why her Second Amendment is so critical, and especially right now, John, as you know what we're dealing with. I mean, this is a cultural issue. You know, yes, that's great that the murder rate is down, but we're still dealing with illegal immigration, illegal crime rate being what it is. I mean, you hear stories. I mean, there's a lot of anger out there. I mean, we just saw a situation as heartbreaking here last year where you know, at attract Meet you get a young man who is murdered by someone by a knife, not even a gun, but by a knight. But again, what I'm pointing to

45:11 is the anger. And the crime hasn't disappeared. Crime is still there for sure. I would say that Trump deserves more than a little bit of credit for the big drop and murder and violent crime that we were talking about earlier that occurred last year and is continuing this year. You know, people don't appreciate what a high crime rate is being committed by illegal aliens, and it's probably even higher than we realized because a lot of the crimes that they're committed are being committed against other illegals that are in the country disproportionately. But what you see is that by deporting illegal alien criminals, they are not committing crimes in the United States anymore. But it's more than that, even the ones that you haven't caught, they don't want to get deported how does legal alien who would normally be committing crime keep from being deported. He knows if he gets caught, if he gets taken into a county courthouse someplace, there'll be ICE agents waiting for him there, even before he goes to trial. They'll take him into customer and deport the individual. And the way they keep from being deported is to keep off of police radar. And the way they keep off of police radar is not to commit many crimes right now, because the more criminal activity that they engage in, the more likely that the police will be there in order to pick them up. And so

46:42 I think that's had a major impact. We saw some data at the end of last year. ICE had gone through and look at the number of detainers for people who are incarcerated in New York State, for example, and fourteen percent of those who were incarcerated in New York State were illegal aliens. Now it's possible that it's even much higher than that because New York State did not cooperate at all with ICE and identifying those individuals that were there. Plus, in addition, some people never make it into the incarcerated population because when they're arrested and charged in a county courthouse. Ice can be there and pick them up at that point. And so there are multiple reasons for realizing that this is an underestimate of the problem.

47:42 But fourteen percent, it's a huge incarce rate. Population can compare it to the highest estimated number of illegals as a share of the New York population. Pew estimates that it's about four percent. So that's still that fourteen percent, still three and a half times their share of the population, and so that's very disproportionate there. You know, that's a much higher rate than the general population in terms of committing crimes. Well, John, this idea that you know, Trump was elected to get control of the border again. He did that on day one, to do something about the mass number of illegal immigrants that have come into our country under the previous administration. He's been working on that, and yet there's a small, very loud number of you know, of adversarial agents that are getting in the way of him being able to accomplish this. But you know, the media would want us to believe that somehow we can bifurcate and slice up, you know, this illegal immigration population and try and differentiate between illegals who were here. I mean, they're still illegal. They broke the law, but they've been here for a while, versus the ones that have part of the New Wave and maybe associated with you know, Antifa or some cartel or you know, whatever knows what. Right.

49:09 Yeah, look, I mean ICE agents in twenty twenty five were facing assaults that were about eighty percent higher than they were in twenty twenty four, the last year of the buid administration. But we've done work looking at things like the air rates for ice picking people up last year as compared to previous administrations. The bui An administration didn't keep data on this. The Obama administration only kept this type of data for the last two years of the Obama administration. But the air rate in terms of accidentally picking up Americans was three times higher, over three times higher under Obama than it was last year under Trump.

49:58 I mean, they're very low rates any case. Plus the rate that people died in ice custody you know, you have some old people, people of other health issues, was also much higher under the Obama administration than it was under Trump. It was like ten times different. So you know, it's people, you know, and the thing is the US didn't actually deport They may have taken into custody some Americans, again at a much lower rate, less than a third the rate that the Obama administration did. But the Obama administration actually accidentally deported Americans. There's none of that that happened under Trump.

50:48 So, you know, it's. It's as interesting to see the way the media covers these I'm sure almost nobody would realize kind of difference in the numbers there. But we've put all that together our website at crimeresearch dot org. Yeah, check this out. I mean, these are the facts, ladies and gentlemen, and something the media is not telling us about. Of course, they continue to be the defenders of democratic policies that I mean, at the end of the day, John, I keep asking the question, where have they helped us? I mean, right now, you've got a president that's trying to come up with a solution, and at every turn he's blocked and he's interfered with, whether it's the Democratic Party or activist judges.

51:37 Right. No, I mean they made it very difficult. I mean, it's kind of amazing that they've accomplished what they've been able to accomplish. I mean, you have a lot of the cities like in Minneapolis and other places where the police are refusing to do their jobs to go and protect the ICE agents that are there, made it much more difficult for them to do their jobs. Same with Los Angeles and other places, and so you know, it's they've been able to deport large numbers of criminals from those areas. About seventy last year of the illegals who were deported had criminal records. In one of the games that some of the media and places like Cato and other places play on this is they only count if you have a criminal record, if you've been convicted of certain violent times like murder, rape, robbery, a vade assault.

52:37 In the United States, the problem is is that you know, you're also talking about people who were drug dealers, who were kidnappers, who were other types of things that they're not counting. But they're other major issues. One is, as far as I knew, you always had a criminal record if you had been convicted or arrested. And as I mentioned a couple of times in this interview, what will happen is the legal alien will be arrested, will be arraigned in a local county courthouse and ice officers will pick them up directly at that point. And secondly, whether they had convictions in their home countries. For some reason, some of these advocacy groups like CATO or the media doesn't seem to care whether or not the person was convicted a murder or rape in their home country. To me, that's just as much of a concern as whether we've actually gone through the legal process and caught them engaging in, you know, child rape or something like that in the United States.

53:46 Exactly. Well, we got to leave it there for now, doctor John Lotte, the president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, John the website again they can go to to find out all about this and all the information that you have there.

Getting America back on track, Bill Martinez Live, Good Morning America. Six minutes after the top of the ho were glad you could join us, Glad we could have Captain William Donning with us. He is the former he's retired decorated Middle East combat veteran and former combat helicopter pilot, so he knows all things apache and otherwise anythings that looks like the egg beaters flying in the sky, right, Colonel.

55:38 Yes, sir, that's right, that's right. Absolutely Well, what did you think about the rescue and what happened? I mean, first of all the shooting down to that apatching and then the rescue with the non mad I guess a water drone of some sort, right. Yeah, absolutely, it's a water done it. It was interesting. I was down at soft Week down in Campa, Florida, Ago and they had one of those unmanned drones driving around. And it's kind of interesting because I was sitting with a couple of other marine pilots and we're watching this thing, and none of us liked it. We're like, holy cow, that thing could be a bomb and zappas we're on it. We're literally on a boat. So it's an amazing capability.

56:19 I had never even thought that they would use it to rescue down pilots, but that's another amazing ability of it, you know, for the Apache getting shot down that you know, that's an interesting thing. Normally Apache guys and girls aren't used to flying over the water like marine and Navy guys do. That's what we do for a living. So I think it's amazing number one that they're doing this mission. They're doing an outstanding job. And number two that you know, thank god they were able to survive that shoot down and get out of that aircraft, because that's that's a hard thing to do, you know, when you get knocked down in the water. It's you know, a lot of times men and women don't get out, so it's just amazing they did. And you know, God, God was smiling on on that day, that's for sure.

57:06 Well, without a doubt. And you know, colonel sitting in the water for two hours, I mean, you're just you're a sitting duck for two hours there, right. Oh yes, not only can you not be captured killed, but you literally, even though you know it's a summer time, you can still die from exposure by sitting in the water for multiple hours. I had a friend years ago that crashed in a SHE fifty three and he was the only one in the aircraft to get out. They never found the aircraft or any other remains, but he got out. He survived the mishap, and he died because they couldn't get to him because the weather was so bad. You think back to a drone. If we had had a water drone back then, maybe we could have saved that marine. But you know, it's tough. Thank goodness they got out in that. Man.

57:57 Well, you had a chance to see this water drone up close and personal, and it's it can carry some weaponry, right yeah. I didn't see one with weapons on it, but I'm certain it can. It could carry weapons. I think it can carry bombs. You could you could turn into a bomb as you wanted to and just drive it into a ship and blow it up. So it's an amazing capability. Well, colonel, what's your assessment right now? We've been back and forth. I mean, the Iranians have redefined a cease fire, right, it's more fire than cease it seems. Well, I think we're going to see. Here's here's what I believe we're going to see. I believe we're going to come to agreement in the next couple of weeks with in Iranian government, whoever that is. You know, I know our president in our sec War and our Vice president are working with somebody in Iran. I know they're not really coming forth. You know, you're not really seeing who they're talking with. I don't know if most folks have noticed that, but we don't. You know, it's not like we're talking to Putin right where President Trumpe says I'm talking to Putin, I'm talking to Cheat. So they haven't really stated who they're talking with, but they're talking with someone and I think that's someone or someone the group of people will make an agreement very soon. The problem is you're going to have other factions in the Iranian government and the Iranian regime, whether it's Old Guard regime, whether it's IRGC, they probably will not accept what their government, whatever you want to call it, if it's an interim

59:29 government or whoever's running the show in Iran, they may not accept what they do. And so I think we're going to see some more tit for tat over the next few weeks and months. What we've shown when you shoot down Apache, we blow the heck out of you for two days straight up. It's not worth it. And that's what we have to show our adversaries. It's not worth the risk verse gain to do a tactical thing and then you get a strategical or operational hit, and that's that's bad for them. I think they saw that in space. Yeah. And I think the other thing too, getting back to you know who's at the negotiating table, something that seems to be underreported is that you've got the neighboring Arab nations. You know, whether it's Cutter Saudi Arabia, others that are putting pressure on Iran as much as they can to say, look at you know, this is a fae to complete, you might as well fold it. But but they're dealing you know, Saudi Arabia and cutter UAE, they're further down the road. They're not so ideologically fixed that they're willing to you know, fall on their sword, whereas it seems the I R g C and the reigning power, you know, as you and I talked about the last time. I mean, we're dealing with the death cult.

1:00:47 And you know what that means in combat. That's right. You know, when you you don't give your adversary a way out, or they don't choose a way out, than what you have to do is you have to kill them. Yes, that's it, there's no other right. We saw that with some of the al Qaeda Iraq folks, where we had no choice. They would not surrender, They would kill their own people. They were so ideological set, they didn't care and they knew that they were going to die. You never want to fight that enemy. You know. Obviously we can find ways to kill them, but if you get an enemy that's that devout on dying, then you have to kill them, and then that puts our men and women at greater risk. So I'm hoping that most of those Iranians we've killed, and maybe the group that's still alive starts thinking that, you know what, I'd like to be alive next summer. I'd like to make it to you know, December, if you will, maybe we're going to start to see a group like that emerge and we'll get to an agreement.

1:01:46 Well, you've got to bring some firepower. Donald Trump made a mention the other day that he was very disappointed with the Kurds. I think they gave weapons to the Kurds that were supposed to be disseminated to the people in Iran, and they didn't make it well. And that's part of the problem that we have in dealing in the Middle East. We tend, unfortunately, we tend to look at our adversaries through our own lens. And that's a problem because you know, I wrote a paper when I was in a school called Joint Advanced Warfighting School JAWS, and I wrote a paper on how we were unable to reach the center of gravity of al Qaeda.

1:02:27 And I got a lot of grief about that paper because you know there are some advocates that say every single thing has a center of gravity. Well, my point in that paper is we're looking at it wrong. What we think is their center of gravity they could care less about, and so we, in my opinion, we still have not found the center of gravity of radical Islam or al Qaeda. And the only that gives you, the only option is killing everyone. And that's our problem when we look at the Kurge through our lens. If I go to West Virginia, give a whole bunch of dudes weapon and say hey, we're going to go fight and protect our country and overthrow a terrorizing government, they're gonna hop in their pickup trucks and follow us. Right, That's not how the courge think. They're like, oh, we got some great weapons, thank you. Now what I'll do is I'll just go defend my home or my Vedoin tribe.

1:03:16 Thanks a lot. And they don't. They just don't think like we do. Yeah, they're not going to run. They're not going to run the problem. It's amazing that that is the ethos of America, whether we're talking about first responders, the military, on and on again, that's just something that we automatically do we we It's like we we breed sheep dogs, Colonel. That's right. We we breed men and women that not you know, not every American. And I'm not going to speak for you know many many people have been in much more combat than I have. But the combat that I've been in, I never saw one person, not even remotely shy away from running towards the sound of the guns.

1:03:57 Not one person. And you know when you think of out that, when you know there was a school shooting years ago, and I think it was Florida where the Florida, right, So the men didn't go in, the men with guns did not go in. When when you sit down you talk to Marines, are like out of go on in without a gun, right, because that's just that's our that's how we're designed exactly. So well, let's go to quick break. We'll pick it up on the other side, market for after this, stay with it. Millions of people of all ages have speech, language, or hearing difficulties.

US caregivers of adults with communication difficulties were polled. The American Speech Language Hearing Association ASHA commissioned the poll and Yugov conducted it.

Hey, welcome back, Bill Martinez here with the decorated Middle East combat veteran Colonel William Bernard Dunn, United States Marine Corps, retired SEMPRIFI And he's a combat helicopter pilot with all this experience in that and of course we're grateful to have him here to give us an analysis of Iran and where we are. And I think that you know, you know, Colonel, I think in part I still believe that America psychologically has really not gotten over what we did in World War Two. You know, the devastation that was put upon Japan. I mean, we didn't go in there with a heartless sense. I mean we went with a mission, and then we saw what our weaponry and what our military could do and the devastation that it wrought, and we really I think it affected our consciousness to such a way that we started allowing other people to get involved in military deployments and military strategy that shouldn't

1:09:59 be there be Because I guess I appreciate Pete hegseth In as much as saying, look at when you call in the military, you got to let the military do what they do best. Right, Well, that's right, the military works for the civilian government. Bottom line. In any military leader that doesn't believe that should be replaced. We work for the government period, period and all we work for the commander in chief, we work for the Congress. And you swear an oath to the Constitution, right supporting defend the Constitution of the United States. Not the president, not the vice president, not your CEO. But you swear an oath to the Constitution. And every military man and woman does that regardless of your service.

1:10:39 So that's important to know. What's interesting about Japan when you think about that. You know, I had a Japanese officer in a different school I was in when I was a major, and we were talking about dropping the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And you know, my history's a little dated in but it was about a week difference between the dropping of the two bombs, right roughly, yes, right, And so the Japanese officer said, he, you know, he got very solemn when we were talking about this, and he said, I still can't believe none of us were allied back then. He goes, but I still can't believe America did that. And my response was, what I think we shouldn't have done is waited a week And he goes, what do you mean? I said, so many of your soldiers in our military died in that week that didn't have to if we'd drop bomb one on day one.

1:11:34 And you know, I don't know logistically if they were able to do this. Maybe it was a reason they waited a week. But what history tells you is they dropped one to see if they would surrender, wait a week, drop the other. How many men died in that week that didn't need to die. And so when we think about this weaponry, deterrence is what makes this weaponry great because we have to teach everyone. And I did a tour at United States Straccom or I learned all about the terms as a marine. It's shocking what we do to keep these weapons from not being used. Men and women at STRACCOM are working twenty four to seven to keep us a lot. So these weapons are great, they're devastating, but we have to every adversary must believe, must believe we will use them and use every one of them.

1:12:29 If not, we put ourselves in our nation and all of our Americans at risk. And so when you think about an ideology like Iranian guys with their capability to get a nuclear weapon that tells you we have to do everything in our power to stop it. Now, the disappointing thing all of our allies know the ideology of Iran, and I do think they all know and believe had they had a weapon, and if they get a weapon, they will absolutely use it. So the one disappointing thing about Epic Fury and all these other conflicts we've had in the less year and change, where are the rest of our allies who know with intel that we are correct.

1:13:18 Why are they not stepping up in supporting President Trump. That's a disappointing thing that's coming out of this to me. Well, especially when you think they are in near proximity. They're in deeper danger than the United States, and the United States, just like NATO and everything else that has to do internationally, we're the ones that are carrying the weight and the burden. That's right, We're carrying the weight. Basically, President Trump is saving the world and the world. You know, there are plenty of smart leaders that know that and understand that. But what they're doing is they're taking a political stance so that they maintain viable politically in their own country. Instead of protecting the world. Where Donald Trump, thank God for him, has said, you know what, I don't care about the midterms. What I care about is the world and keeping the America and the rest of the world safe and alive for the next one hundred years. And he's put it all on the line time and time again, and so you know, Kudu's out to him in this administration.

1:14:17 But I still believe the fastest way to close everything out in Iran is at the Democratic Party went on TV and said, we support Donald Trump and all Americans and ending the possible threat of Iran a an nuclear weapon that would get rid of the last bit of leverage that I Ran thinks they have and this thing would end overnight. My opinion, well, I agree one hundred percent, and I think the thing beyond Iran, we still have to deal with Hesbola. We got to deal with the hooties, and we got to deal with Hamas that still controls in the Gaza about forty five percent of the territory there. Colonel Well, and. That's another part we were talking about looking at our enemy through our own American lens. There are so many Americans do not believe that Hesbla, Hamas or any of these terrorist organizations would kill them. They don't believe it.

1:15:13 The reality is they would kill us and kill you. You know, if you had, you know, the sexual orientation discussion in the Middle East, they will kill you and hang you because of your sexual orientation. They don't care. They don't think like we do. And unfortunately, there's no mechanism other than joining the military that's going to get other Americans to see how the hatred that these people have for us. Yeah, and as I was discussing with somebody else here recently who's in the Middle East born and raised, said, you know, we have to recall that this is what they referred to as ancient hatred. This has been going on for thousands of years, generational indoctrination of hatred towards anybody who is non Muslim.

1:15:58 That's right. We're in Iraq. I was a Ford Air controller and we had to go take over a school that was filled with weapons. So they took a girls elementary school, filled it with weapons because they knew we wouldn't bomb a school. We went in there and there's millions of rounds of machine gun ammunition and so we're like, we got to get this stuff out of here. We can't let the enemy have this. But this was a girl's elementary. I think they were well, I'll guess and say fifth grade. I had an interpreter with me at the time, and on the wall was a mural and he translated it for me, and it was a bunch of murals of different things, and it said and it said, you cannot go to heaven until Palestine is free. This is two thousand and three oif one girls elementary school in the middle of Iraq. That's what they're teaching. And you're right, hundreds of years they've been teaching that, and they hate, you know, they hate whoever's not them, and they will kill us if they get if given the opportunity or the ability.

1:16:59 Well, and the thing to look at, as you said, regarding their ability to whether it's developed, I think we need to be concerned about them, you know, obtaining I know that Donald Trump has expanded that declaration that they cannot have a nuclear weapon under any means. But also I think the one thing that was missing is that even you know, if they went to a neighboring nation and we're able to capture one. That's right, which is always a concern. There are the United States, who we are probably the best at particular nuclear weapons, have had incidents where we could have potentially lost nuclear weapons, and we're the best at it. Imagine you think some of these countries, I EA. North Korea, Pakistan and India, what if one of those weapons goes missing or gets pulled out and sold because someone's doing so nefarious. It's got to be clear that if we think that has happened with Iran or with really any country or any of our adversaries, that the entire weight to include potential nuclear capability, but the entire weight of the US will come down on you NonStop until that threat has been eliminated. That's what we's sort of done I and Iran. It's not complete yet. I still want all the enricheranium in US possession. Yes, that's that to me.

1:18:31 You know, if I was making a red line, that would be my red line, because all they're going to do is say, oh it's buried, it's no good. And next thing, you know, we have we have to go back and do Midnight Hammer two, Epic Fury three, whatever it takes, and. Exactly like to end this. Well, he's the return retired USMC colonel and a former combat and decorated Middle East combat veteran and former combat helicopter pilot. Colonel William has been with US Colonel Dunn as we wrap things up, you think this should be a done deal within the next week or two. What I would what I would lay my money on is by July fourth weekend we'll have at least a signed agreement. But as I was talking to some other folks today, I think we'll get a sign agreement by the fourth of July. I believe that. But I think by the time it's fifth, sixth July, we're going to be still doing tit for tat strikes because you know, there's going to be elements in the Iranian in the Iranian country that will not accept this, and we'll have to root them out and kill them. And once we do that, I think we'll get some last you know, I'll never say we'll have lasting peace in the Middle East, but I would love to say we'll have temporary peace.

1:19:48 And as long as we can stretch that temporary piece out, it would be a great thing. Amen, I'm with you. Colonel William Dunn, United States Marine Corps retired simplify my friend. Take care, sir ze before have a great week nd. You got it.

1:24:26 Nutrition for Patriots, Hey, welcome back Bill Martinez here along with Jeff Johnson from Focus on the Family. Hey Jeff, good morning to you. How are you, Hey, Bill, I'm doing well. Good to be with you. Well, always good to have you with us. Jeff is the issues analyst with Focus on the family. He works on issues as I mentioned, where he researches and writes about a variety of subjects related to marriage, homosexuality, gender, and healthy sexuality. Hey, Jeff, I want to talk to you about you know, here we are in the month of June halfway through, and you know, it's been interesting. You know, traditionally June has been pretty much captured by the LGBTQ plus and all the alphabets, you know, in terms of being Pride month. But it doesn't seem to be as robust as previous years. I don't know if that's a good sign or not.

1:25:23 What do you think, Well, I think it's a good sign, and I think we're seeing a couple of things happen. One is that businesses sponsors have pulled back from their sponsorship of Pride events, and so there's less money and in some cities we're even seeing events canceled. And then the other thing that's going on is that government officials are starting to propose, Hey, let's call this family Month or pro life month or nuclear family Month. They're giving positive alternatives instead of Pride Month. And so we're seeing it both in politics and business, this kind of pushback Okay, guys, I think we're all just tired of it. It gets overwhelming at times.

1:26:08 Yeah, Well, wor's the benefit? Okay, we've been doing this for how long now, a couple of decades maybe, and uh, and what do we have to show for it? Is culture better as a result of pride month or is this kind of falling victim? I say victim, and I use that term loosely. Uh. It's kind of like, uh, with the Supreme Court's decision about systemic racism pretty much running its course, and I've been waiting for you know, the community at large, it's almost like they haven't got the memo. It's like when uh, you know, President Lincoln sent out the Emacerbation Proclamation. How many years did it take before you know, people, oh, gosh, you know, I am free and uh and only to be encaptured again. But that's another story in our history.

1:26:57 So I'm thinking that maybe all this stuff, you know, the pomp and circumstance, for all these things that highlight a specific group, people are realizing there's no benefit in it. Number one and number two, it really promotes a prejudice and it excludes the culture at large that do not see value in this. Is that fair to say? Yeah, Yeah, I think you're right. And I think parents especially are seeing the effect this is having on their children. Where you know, you have kids in kindergarten who are being taught about gender identity or that a family might have two moms or two dads so you don't need a mom or dad it's irrelevant. And we're seeing kids whose bodies are damaged by you know, gender mutilating surgeries, or kids who are harmed because they're raised without a mother or father. It's like, you know, when we when the Supreme Court redefined marriage and said, you know, husbands don't matter or wives don't matter, you can have two of each. They started this huge social experiment, and I think people are seeing the fallout that this has not been good for us, especially has been harmful for children.

1:28:13 Yeah. Like I always tell the kids, experience defines preference, and we've had a load of experience right now. I mean even to the point where sadly, our taxpayer funds have been invested in this grand cultural experiment. And you know, the question is being called, okay, so what do we have to show for it? Yeah, and we have more or less confusion. Yeah, yeah, I think it's created more confusion, and I think especially with the transgender issue. You know, once you say that male and female don't matter for marriage, you say male and female don't matter for anything, and maybe there's more than that. And you have these powerful gay groups LGBT groups. Once marriage was redefined, they began to pour money into the gender issue. And I think people are seeing that too, that this is not a poor, beliegued minority anymore. You know, maybe one hundred years ago, there was a lot of you know, hatred and animosity towards people struggling with these issues. But I think what we've seen instead is that things have flipped and you have this minority that is now persecuting people. So people are dosed and they're canceled because they won't agree with this.

1:29:31 We've also seen whole church denominations flip on this issue, and I think it's been damaging for people of faith. So once you start to add up all that damage in different areas, people's eyes, I hope, are being open to the truth that, you know, God designed male and female, they're both good. He designed marriage to be between a husband and wife, and things go best when we follow his design exactly. And maybe that's the benefit of all this grand experts and Jeff is that we know experientially, no bueno. And God, you know, leaves us because he loves us so much. He leaves us to our free will. Okay, go ahead and pursue that. I recommend you not, he says very clearly in his word, but in fact he commands us not to. But nonetheless, you know, being the knuckleheads we are, we still think we can defy gravity.

1:30:23 Right, yeah, I mean, he gives us free will. His sovereignty is big enough where he lets us make choices, and when we take them to these far extremes like this, we see the damage. And so people see the harm that send us to their family members, their loved ones, to little children, and there I really hope that their eyes are opening up. I think the transgender issue, especially when that began to be pushed, people said, wait a minute, what about reality, what about male and female? And then they started to look at marriage and say, well what about you know, do kids really need a mom and a day? And how harmful is it when we mess around with marriage? So right, yeah, I think we're seeing some pushback, and I think that also means that it's a good time to reach out to people with the truth, you know.

1:31:13 To compassionately, you know, and that's core, you know, because what you touched on earlier is that you know, for many years, people who were dealing with this you know, confusion and you know, call it what you want. I think psychologists had a name for it, and there was a diagnosis for it. But yet you know, we had to somehow abandon that and somehow try to bring it into everyday culture and acceptability instead of using the standard as a I don't know if I want to say like a safety net so to speak, you know, so that we still maintained the standard to realize that, look at either this is healthy or it's not hell healthy, but it's compassionate to help somebody deal with some issues that they're dealing with. And maybe just maybe perhaps the assessment of all that we've gone through in these past decades regarding LGBTQ is maybe it's opened up our hearts to have some compassion to where we're not so you know, necessarily instantaneously judgmental, but that we have some compassion because what's happened in the last couple of decades. Is guess what we have family members now, family members who are coming to dinner. Who are you know, they're you know, for lack of a better word, they're gender confused, or they're gay or lesbians or whatever, and how do you

1:32:44 deal with it? Like I had a recent conversation here with a friend of mine and what happened was interesting. In this family relationship, the husband transd to a woman and the woman trans to a male, but they're still together. So now they just kind of turned their relationship upside down and the family is left to respond to it, and they don't want to be hurtful. They you know, these are family members, but every once in a while, who used to be an uncle is now an aunt and who used to be an aunt is an uncle? How's that? Well? It's created so much confusion, And I know so many families, even in my own family, where a niece decided first she was a non binary and then decided to live as a man, and her husband did what you said, decided to live as a woman. So they kind of flipped and he ended up committing suicide. And we know that mental health issues, mental illness, there's all kinds of trauma and brokenness with a lot of these people. So we want to have compassion. But Christians also have an answer.

1:33:53 We know that we have a guy who heals, who loves us, who wants to restore us. You can't all undo the damage from sin, but Christians especially should know that God brought us out of sin exactly, he can also bring these other people out of sin too. And so that's where I'm hoping that the title will turn and Christians will say, Hey, let's reach out with love and compassion, but also with truth at the same time. And let's start hearing those positive stories of people who have converted, who who really listen to the word of God in the Book of Ephesians and said, hey, what's this renewing my mind thing all about? Let me try this, And they do, and all of a sudden, the next thing, you know, their thoughts are different and their mind is being renewed, which we know with for example, with alcoholics, that's one of the trainings they go through is in renewing their mouth mind. I mean, it's just so miraculous the way God has created us that allows us to, you know, come up with reformations within our own psyche.

1:34:52 Right, exactly. God is good and he's really powerful, and his spirit and his word are powerful to transformation and healing, and I know, you know, I've experienced that in my own life. I'm grateful too for the recent Supreme Court decision and Childs versus Salazar, where the Court said, no, you can't stop counselors from helping people who want this kind of help. And so now Christian counselors can move in a new way to help miners who are struggling with these issues. And I think that case too has opened the church to the idea wait a minute, We're not harming people when we say God can help you change. We're helping them. We're leading them towards the truth and to a better way of living.

1:35:35 So how many other groups are offering any kind of solution and they are they muzzled and they can't say anything, you know, But I'm not hearing any even with all this transgender and this you know, biological mutilation that's been taking place, I'm not hearing success stories out of this, Jeff, are you no? No? In fact, the studies show that I'm using social transitioning than puberty blockers, than hormones than surgeries. It's very damaging to people and it really does not bring them out of you know, you can't treat a mental health issue by trying to transform the body into something that it's not.

1:36:17 And all those medical interventions are actually really really harmful for people. Harms their brains, their bones, their organs all. You know, it's not these are powerful drugs. And you know, little kids aren't made to go on puberty blockers. Puberty is a natural life transition that they're supposed to go through, and we're trying to stop that and then give them some sort of opposite sex experience which they can never really have. And so we're seeing a lot of people who tried that route, a lot of detransitioners, and they're now becoming very vocal and saying this did not help me, This did not work for me. And thankfully too, we're seeing some lawsuits and I think that's going to make medical professionals a little more cautious before jumping on board with this.

1:37:09 Well, we saw what happened in Texas, right, big lawsuit and a big solution there, you know, so that was a great story there. Jeff Johnson issues analysts with focus on the family.

1:42:00 Welcome back Bill Martinez here. Good to have you with us. We've got Nick and got us back with us. He had so much fun he decided to come back Thank god we didn't. We didn't mess you up too much, Nick that you decided to hang with us another week. Yeah, I think I'll survive. Hey, awesome, We appreciate all the great work you're doing. Nick is a senior content creator with MRC Video and we're here to talk about the nominees of the worst media quote of the Week. How much fun is this? I mean, the thing about it, Nick, is just seems to be endless, and I got to imagine some weeks it's it's hard to just narrow it down to three. Well, you got to give all the credit to the guys over at and the and the ladies over at the NewsBusters. Yes, because they they just scour every news program.

1:42:50 They ingust so much, just poison biased partisan media on a daily basis. You know, I watch my fair share as well. But those guys deserve a lot of credit for what they do. Well yeah, I mean they're taking bullets for us, really, I mean, because you think about, you know, the TBI effect that that could have by just bombarding yourself and wading through all this negativity. Oh yeah, you got to you know, take I try to take a vacation every few months or so. You know, not a long one or I don't even have to go anywhere, But I try to take a little bit of time off because if you don't, you're you're constantly, like I said, bombarded with so much of this stuff that if you just keep going and keep going and keep going without any break at all, which I've done before, you'll kind of lose it.

1:43:44 Well, it leads you to believe that maybe the world is worse off than we expected, you know. And I think that we've gone through a little bit of this experience just in terms of racism, the issue of racism, Nick, we were told for decades that you know, that we were terrible people. There's white supremacy. You know, Blacks were being you know, mistreated, and on and on. And I got to tell you, you know, for the majority of Americans you talked to, they're going where. Well, I don't get it. I guess maybe I'm just blind to my own prejudice, of my own bias, I guess. And uh, then, of course we got a great relief from Congress, I mean from Scotus. When Scotus came out and says, now we've pretty much have ridden this horse to death, you know, it's time to you know, just you know, let everybody realize that racism, systemic racism is all but gone. It doesn't exist in America. And all these considerations and accommodations we've been making, you know, for Black America is you know, let's let it go. Let's let it rest in peace, right And I and I got to tell you, Nick, I'm surprised that America in mass didn't come out of their houses yelly and screaming, you know, good God, Old mighty free at last year. You know what I mean.

1:45:02 Well, you know, if you think about it, if we if you really want to, you know, think about the history of this. We can go back to LBJ, the Civil Rights Act that was that was he signed that based. On a racist motive, of course. I mean there is audio of LBJ saying, we'll have these black people voting Democrat for two hundred years. Only he didn't use the term black people. Yeah, he used the N word, yes, yeah, exactly. Well, it was totally for political reasons. And and look what happened. It paid off. It paid off for the Democrats. And that's what they've done. And not only did it pay out for the Democrats, politically, but then it created a cottage industry, which is kind of interesting because you know, you say, look back at history, look at all that Martin Luther King had been doing, you know, to liberate Black America to finally, you know, kind of get everybody both sides, because you know, look, let's go back when Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. How long did it take to go across the country? And then that wasn't enough because the culture and Black America specifically was so conditioned to being impressed that it was hard for them to just you know, let go and be free. They weren't even sure what freedom looked like.

1:46:17 Right. Well, I mean think about it. You go to statistics back in like the nineteen forties and fifties and Black America there were more two parent households than there was in White America. And then as soon as the Civil Rights movement happened, and after the Civil Rights Act and then we instituted the welfare state and everything we went from. The black community went from having I believe somewhere in the mid seventy percent of black households having both parents. Eight eighty five percent. Nick was as high as eighty five percent. What is it now like twenty eight percent something? No, no, no, no, Now it's totally inverted. It's it's about it was eighty five percent mother and father, fifteen percent, you know, single family. Now it's it's upside down. It's eighty five percent single family, only fifteen percent with a mother and father in the household. It's no wonder the black community has been so decimated, not to mention. Then on top of that, let's throw the whole abortion issue into it, and how many blacks are aborted, you know, forty percent. It's no wonder that you know that demographic has been static at about you know, anywhere twelve fifteen percent of America's population. Well, everybody else has been growing.

1:47:34 But you know, when you're killing forty percent of your babies, what do you think is going to happen? Well, and they never want to answer the question of why is it that seventy seven percent of planned parenthoods are in predominantly black neighborhoods. Right exactly? And meanwhile, just keep giving me taxpayer money to kill black babies. It's just disgusting. But anyway, tragedy, We digress a little bit. But I mean to a point here, and I appreciate you recalling some of this history because I think it's important because people need to be reminded because we forget and we let it get in the rearview mirror and forget the fact that it's still is part of the woof and wharf of our culture that needs to be cleaned up. And so that's why what MRC and NewsBusters has been doing in terms of these quotes that come out, it's like, look it, it's got to be about the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but right. It should be right.

1:48:31 That's what I mean. I have an honors degree myself in journalism, and listen, journalism at its core should just be here are the facts of the case. Now, if you want to add a little color to it in terms of engaging the audience, that's fine. But as soon as you enter any of any kind of personal bias or opinion, it ceases being journalism exactly. And that's where we are right now. But unfortunately, the journalistic schools, as you know, Nick, have been designed to produce what we have right now. And it's unfortunate because our First Amendment right of freedom of speech is so critically important. It needs to be cherished and honored, and today's journalists sadly have abandoned that in my humble opinion. Anyway, speaking of which Scott Pelly, I cannot believe he made this statement. Unlike Trump, he says, I've been in combat for this country. Oh really, when was Scott Pelly in the military.

1:49:26 Well he claims because he covered wars in Afghanistan, in Iraq or whatever, that he's been closer to combat than Trump ever was. And you know, all that to be said, think about the hubris of that statement. I mean, Scott Pelly's been in journalism since he's since he was fifteen. He couldn't even finish his journalism degree at Texas Tech. He ended up a few credits short. I guess he must have missed the or passed up the course on ethics and journalist because he even if you, if you go on in that interview, he even self righteously said that he's never he's never seen bias like this in his life. Really, maybe maybe turn the mirror on yourself.

1:50:15 Right exactly, yes, I've never seen well, well you know, he's partially right, he's never seen biased. I mean that's true, right, but what role, what. Role have you played in that? Right? That's your point. There's no self awareness, right exactly. And speaking of which, that's a perfect transition for Jim Acosta. He says, tearing down of sixty minutes as on American it's hurting the country. Right. Look, Jim Acosta's biggest fan is Jim Acosta. Okay, I don't I don't even know people that agree with him, besides maybe Don Lemon that like him. He's just so abrasive. He's like he's like a human Brillo pad. He just he just scours everything until there's until everything is just raw, and then you just want to scream at him. And I think that's his modus operandi where he just he wants whoever he's talking to, if they disagree with him in the least, to just go off. And I think that's that's his tactic. But Jim Acosta, listen, in terms of what he said, he's right, and I mean, as it currently stands, sixty minutes is an institution, but kind of like an insane asylum where they've allowed the inmates to run the institution for decades.

1:51:31 Right, Well, and that was clear with that interaction with Scott Pelly and why he is no more right. Yeah, I mean, look, at the end of the day, these people are in it for their paycheck. They're in it. They've been so conditioned over the years, Like they might have their personal opinions and they might actually believe what they say at this point, but they've been conditioned in the roles that they've been paid to to play for so many years that they don't have any other switch. They don't have self awareness. They're so self righteous. They look down their nose at you, even if you agree with them, if they consider you lesser than they are, then and they just don't have time for you.
