Chaos In Chicago; Illegal Attack Border Patrol | Episode 147

Hey everybody, welcome to Vince on a Wednesday. It is great to have you with us, the best audience anywhere. We've got a big show for you today. We're going to get into the Charlie Kirk Medal of Freedom ceremony that took place yesterday at the White House. A great event, touching event, as the president presented a great American posthumously with the Medal of Freedom, his widow, Erika Kirk there to accept it. We'll dive into that. Also, we've got some... Interesting things that are developing at the White House today involving Kash Patel and the president of the United States. We'll explore what that could mean coming up. And new attacks on Border Patrol, immigration enforcement in the United States in Chicago. It's also out of control. And I will explain exactly what's happening here. What needs to happen next? It's all ahead on another busy edition of Vince. It is great to have you here. As always, it really is. Hey, do you ever feel like you're being observed on the internet? Ever feel like you're being watched? Internet service providers can see every single website that you visit. And in the United States, they're even allowed to sell your browsing history. That's what they do to you. But until the laws can be changed around this, you need to protect yourself. And the way I do it is with ExpressVPN, an easy-to-use app that encrypts and reroutes all my Internet traffic through secure servers. Because I use ExpressVPN, my Internet provider cannot see my browsing history and turn around and sell it. I don't want that. ExpressVPN also hides my IP address so greedy data brokers can't use it to build a profile of me to sell off to marketers. I wouldn't call myself the biggest tech expert, but I do find ExpressVPN incredibly easy to use. I just tap one button and boom, I'm connected. They've got apps for every device, not to mention it is the number one rated VPN by CNET, The Verge, and tons of other tech reviewers. So if you want to start taking your online privacy seriously, Don't wait. Use my special link. You'll get four extra months of ExpressVPN for free at ExpressVPN.com slash Vince.

Yeah, the president of the United States is set to hold a mystery 3 p.m. press conference today. At the time we're putting this show together, of course, we're doing it live on Rumble.com slash Vince 10 a.m. Eastern time each day. But the president's going to have an announcement at 3 p.m. eager to see what that is. I won't dwell on it for a tremendous amount of time because especially there will be podcast listeners who are hearing all of this going, Vince, we know what it's about. I'm listening after it happened. Okay. I respect you for that, but I can't climb into a time machine right now and tell you what's going to happen at 3 o'clock. So let me just make a, let me just theorize about it for a moment. If it's the FBI director at the White House with the president of the United States, it is not to announce prosecutions. It won't be what the attorney general would do, which is to announce that they're dropping fresh prosecutions on someone, that indictments are coming for somebody in particular. That's not what this will be. The FBI is an investigative body. So presumably they're going to make an investigative announcement. What will they announce? Well, let me guess. Let me think about it. It could be Antifa related. The president of the United States is very concerned about left-wing violence in the United States of America being perpetrated against her citizens and also against federal law enforcement in places like Portland and Chicago. So could we see an announcement today related to an investigation into Antifa, the effort that the FBI is taking to get to the bottom of it? Could we see, for instance, a public request for tips to take Antifa down? That's all very possible. And so again, because it's going to happen at 3 o'clock today, I won't spend a lot of time speculating on the subject. But it matters a great deal, and I'm eager to see it. So we'll get a hold of that and probably have some things to say about it tomorrow on this program. But. We are watching that. Oh, also, yeah, that's a really good point. Justin puts on screen the other thing here that Kash Patel has just announced that the FBI has taken down one of the largest global human trafficking and cyber fraud networks ever. This was a criminal empire built on forced labor and lies and we crushed it, protect kids at all costs, SADS MAGO voice. So that may very well be what this is about here. that they celebrate this at the end of a global human trafficking ring yeah that's worth celebrating with the president of the united states so that's that's very likely a very reasonable answer uh to this i hope both men take questions today the president often does uh it's you know the fbi director if he's involved um you know the fbi is not always in the position to be able to answer all of the questions but we'll see i do i do hope there's a press conference attached to this thing Speaking of Antifa and left-wing violence, we're definitely still seeing a lot of it. And that includes in the city of Chicago. We get some chaos in Chicago. Broadview is the location of the immigration processing center there in Illinois. An illegal alien just rammed Border Patrol law enforcement vehicles in Chicago yesterday.

And we get some early indications on this story from Ali Bradley. Great reporter over at News Nation. I've always appreciated Ali through the years. She's been a great guest on all of my programs. And she says that sources confirmed to her. that an illegal alien had rammed a Border Patrol vehicle Tuesday morning in Chicago. And as a result of that, a pursuit began naturally. Law enforcement gave chase. Agents conducted a pit maneuver to stop the fleeing suspects. In other words, like disabled the vehicle by ramming into it themselves. A crowd formed and gas was deployed by agents to get the group to disperse. The DHS released a statement on the subject saying that Tuesday morning while conducting an immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, a vehicle driven by an illegal alien rammed a Border Patrol vehicle and attempted to flee the scene. Border Patrol pursued this vehicle and was eventually able to stop it, utilizing an authorized precision immobilized technique. Sorry, it's called a precision immobilization technique, a pit maneuver. Once the, when I think of a pit maneuver, I think of, You know, if you basically tap the back of the vehicle with your car and you throw it. You just hit the back corner of it. You guys in law enforcement can tell me if I'm right about that, but that seems like the way you do it. Once the vehicle was stopped, the suspects who are both illegal aliens attempted to flee on foot as Border Patrol arrested the subjects and attempted to secure the scene, a crowd began to form and eventually turned hostile. Yeah, a mob surrounded federal law enforcement. yesterday they had to use crowd control measures to stop the chaos this incident is not isolated says dhs it reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. The fact that this attack was carried out by two illegals highlights the need for federal law enforcement to continue to do their job of enforcing the laws of our nation, all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats' continued government shutdown. Take a look at the coverage of this. We've got some video footage from a local Chicago affiliate. They had an eye in the sky, a helicopter over the scene, watching as a mob. descends on federal law enforcement. Take a listen. When you first got on scene and you were able to talk to some neighbors and some witnesses there on the scene and describe to us what initially... Judy, wait one second. I see Chicago police are arriving and putting themselves in the middle of the situation right now. It appears there might be someone in command from what I can see approaching the area. I'm not sure if this isn't an attempt to start dispersing the crowd.

But we have just in the last few seconds seen Chicago police would remain at bay, now starting to put themselves in the middle of this. Oh, God. Protesters are starting to throw rocks. We're going to get away from the scene right now, Judy. Okay, Michelle, you take care of yourself. I'm going to let her get off the phone. Yeah. So what's happened here is you watch as the mob surrounds those vehicles. And there's a really important piece of that audio that I want to dwell on. That local reporter said something that really stood out to me. Chicago police showed up yesterday and intervened as they were watching their fellow federal law enforcement officers under attack. Under attack. So you get these crazy rioters, this mob, attacking federal law enforcement, Chicago police said, we're not going to stand it. Now, did that order come from the top that these guys intervene? We don't know at this hour. But we do know that the cops said, I'm not going to stand for this. I'm jumping in there. So thank you to the Chicago police officers who did their jobs yesterday. That's an improvement over the circumstance that we were dealing with before. That's where you were watching as federal law enforcement under attack. And Chicago police told stand down. Don't intervene. Don't intervene at all. And just, I mean, for those of you watching, rumble.com slash viz, just look at the footage here. Mostly peaceful rocks. Yes, thanks, Tickpick and McGroin. That's what they were throwing. Look at the mostly peaceful rocks they were throwing at federal law enforcement who were just chasing down. They just chased down a couple of illegals who had rammed a border patrol vehicle to attack them. And so the mob shows up and they begin throwing rocks at federal law enforcement. These rocks, not a small deal to have a rock thrown. Ask especially border patrol agents what that's like. On our southern border, they call these rocking attacks, rocking attacks, where rocks are thrown sometimes from the Mexican side of the border at border patrol agents who are patrolling. either in the intervening space or far on the American side of the border. And border patrol agents have been very grievously wounded by a rock being thrown through the air, sometimes struck in the head and the body, gashes, open wound, blood. It's not a small thing to be hit by a rock like this. So as soon as these dangerous projectiles get launched into the air, law enforcement begins dispersing tear gas and various chemicals to try and disperse the crowd because they need to create a safe environment rapidly. for law enforcement. They did the right thing here. And, you know, it's amazing the lies that Democrats will tell about all of this. The awful governor of Illinois, J.B. Pritzker, last night, this is after this had all happened. He said this, ICE is recklessly throwing tear gas into our neighborhoods and busy streets, including near children and at school and Chicago Police Department officers.

That's the guy. That's the guy. So there you go. These guys once again under attack. And these guys once again have our gratitude. Look, a lot of federal employees, as DHS said here, that border patrol is not getting paid. These ICE agents, plenty of DHS officials are not getting paid right now during the government shut down. They have to wait to get their money. Here's the thing. They're still working. They still have to go to work and do the job. So they're not, you know, they're not being sent home to wait for the government shutdown to conclude. They're essential employees. But the president is doing everything he can right now to make sure that the men and women who serve our country so well do get paid. We got an update on that as it relates to the military. The president of the United States has successfully paid the military this week. They're getting their paychecks. I think they started coming in yesterday and today. And that's great news. They found money for that. And the president said yesterday that, in fact, there was an offer that he got from a very rich person. Some rich billionaire, of course, has to be a billionaire, contacted him and said, hey, if you don't have the money, I can front it for you. I could pay the troops for you during this period just to make ends meet. Listen to the president cut seven yesterday at the White House describing a very generous offer. You have the money to pay the troops on October 15. Okay. How is this? I actually have a man who is a very wealthy person who know that when I tell you this who called a donor. a great gentleman, and he said, if there's any money necessary shortfall for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it, meaning he will pay it. How about that? I said, look, we're not going to need it. We're going to take care of our troops, but this was a position that's being forced upon us by Democrats. Okay, I'm going to say one thing with utter certainty. That wasn't George Soros. Soros did not offer to pay the troops. That was not the phone call. I can promise you that. We don't know who it was, but we know it was in Soros. There's some speculation that it was Elon Musk, who may have done that. I do feel like Elon Musk might have tweeted that particular detail or posted it to X, whatever we're calling that these days. And if that was his offer, somebody made the offer. And whoever that person is, I just want to say on behalf of the rest of the country, thank you. Thank you for that. for that generosity. The president says, we don't need it. There was, I saw some people did crunch the numbers on that. What would that cost to pay all of the troops in a single two-week pay period? What would the cost of that be? The answer to that is apparently $6.6 billion. $6.6 billion. Now, Chad, and do any of you have $6.6 billion lying around? Anybody? By the way, if you do, could you please make a contribution to a couple of free Rumble premium subscriptions for the chat? If you could just gift, you know, just say 100 Rumble Premium subscriptions, that would be nice. $6.6 billion? Yeah, I don't really know anybody who's got that kind of money. I mean, I know they exist. They just.

I'm just not friends with them. They're friends with Trump, though. There are friends with the president of the United States. He called and he said, yeah, we could front that. That's really nice. Anyway, so thank you. It is, and it's, and you know what's nice? It's a good reminder that there are people of means who have done very well in life, who've been blessed, who turn around and they love our country. And in the midst of this fight, as Democrats keep the government shut down, in order to juice their delusional no kings protests, that there are very good people out there who are saying, you know what? Let them do whatever they want. We're going to keep this country going, whatever it takes. And that definitely includes paying our military. Yeah. And that, yeah, Rob McGroin, it wasn't Bill Gates. Yeah, there's a couple of, there's definitely things we can say with certainty. Bill Gates didn't offer this. Wait a second. Hold on. Anita McGroin. Is Anita McGroin a billionaire? We didn't realize this? Anita McRoyne is making it rain right now in our chat. Rumble premium gifts are being given at the moment by Anita McRoyne. That's, Anita McGovern. Let's, okay, I think what we can do, everybody, is conclude this story with the following. The great Anita McRoyne was very likely the person who just offered to pay the troops $6.6 billion. A round of applause for Anita. Anita, thank you. Unbelievably generous. Unbelievably generous. Thank you, Anita. Oh, that's, isn't that what a, what a nice treat. We live in a great country. Anita is a great person. Thank you, Anita, very much. All right, more ahead on the program. We've got a lot to get to. We have a major Supreme Court oral argument today. It has a big implication for the country. Very big implication for the country. We've got Charlie Kirk's Medal of Freedom Ceremony, which was wonderful at the White House yesterday. Oh, and I've got more from PsychoGate. Yeah, Katie Porter, the leading candidate for governor, is trying to talk her way out of PsychoGate right now. Will it work? We'll explore. It's all ahead on this edition of Vince. Hey, every so often something happens that reminds the rest of us just how fragile our freedoms are. And we can't afford to take our rights for granted.

In fact, there's oral arguments taking place as we are speaking live this morning in the United States Supreme Court. And it revolves around the law in question is the Voting Rights Act. But I'll just, let me be even more explicit than this. What the case today before the court. is very simply, are Democrats allowed to rig elections by using racial prejudice as a way to draw congressional districts? It's as simple as that. That really is the case before the court today. Can they use your race as a way to draw a congressional district around you? Yes or no? Well, for those of us who grew up in America, especially in this century, we should know that the Constitution forbids this type of treatment, that people should not be treated based on their skin color. that the system should be fair for everyone without any racial prejudice whatsoever. And yet today, we have a Supreme Court case about that very subject because we're not quite there yet. Democrats refuse to get there. Today, it's all about race-based redistricting. How do we draw congressional districts in the United States? How do we dole out seats within Congress? And can districts be drawn in such a way? that are dedicated to the skin color of the people who live within the districts. Sean Fleetwood for the Federalist this week writes about the case that's being argued in the Supreme Court. He says in a race-based redistricting battle, Louisiana is urging the Supreme Court to uphold America's colorblind constitution. Colorblind. That's the way that this should be conducted. Is the use of race in the redistricting process unconstitutional? The answer to that should obviously be yes, but let's explore the legal fight here. That's a key question that the court is considering today in a pair of high profile cases that are being argued, known as Louisiana versus Calais and Robinson versus Calais. The matters provide the court with the opportunity to end longstanding conflicts between the Constitution and race-centric voting provisions that have plagued states and the redistricting process for decades. The Louisiana Attorney General is called Liz Merle, and she said that she believes that these cases are, quote, good vehicles for the Supreme Court to address some of these issues that have been percolating for a very long time.

This goes down to the origins of this particular dispute dates back to spring of 2022. That's when the Louisiana legislature drafted a congressional map with a single black majority district. This prompted a group of plaintiffs represented by the left like the ACLU to sue saying that the map, quote, diluted black voting strength and therefore violated Section 2 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. All right, I want you to contemplate you to think about that phrase for a moment, black voting strength. Do all black people vote the same way? What's the answer to that question is quite obviously no. They don't. Do all Hispanic people vote the same way? No, they don't. Do all white people vote the same way? No, they don't. Do all white people vote the same way? No, they don't. So what is this? Now, is it true that black voters right now are majority in the United States, just as a matter of averages, likely to support Democrats? The answer to that is yes, that is true. And that's what's at stake here. Democrats like using their belief that black votes can be taken for granted as Democrat votes. as a way to draw congressional maps in order to try and guarantee Democrat members of Congress. Now, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the thing that they're debating right now, the whole reason we had to pass a Voting Rights Act of 1965 was because Democrat states were imposing Jim Crow laws on black Americans in the early 1900s. The Voting Rights Act was a way to prevent the sins of racial prejudice from being employed against people to try and deny them the right to vote. Since then, Democrats have so mutilated and distorted the original purpose of the Voting Rights Act, which was to stop their abuses. They've created more abuses under the guise of the Voting Rights Act. Now they judge voters and districts based on the skin color of the people who live within those districts in order to try and guarantee long-term Democrat power. It's all about election rigging. That's it. That's the whole thing. So today, as the United States Supreme Court debates this, God willing, they can defeat racial prejudice. That's the point. And the left is freaking out about this right now. How do I know this? Because, well, they write about it. Politico's got a piece up right now. It's from earlier this month saying that Republicans could get 19 more house seats if this Supreme Court ruling goes down in the way of decency, of constitutionality. 19 more house seats for Republicans. If the election system is unrigged.

because of the racial prejudice Democrats have been using. And now, I will say that this number is likely, I see people using Dan Sullivan at Great Expression, bullshitico. This is likely bullshit that it'd be 19 more Republican House seats because here's where that number comes to us from. That calculation was made in a new report from an organization called Fair Fight Action and Black Voters Matter Fund. Fair Fight Action is Stacey Abrams's group in Georgia. That's Stacey, Stacey Abrams, the lunatic who thinks that she's actually the governor of Georgia. That's her number. They came up with that. Also, the Black Voters Matter Fund, you can tell that's out of the BLM activists of the left. So these organizations are lefty organizations. they put these numbers forward that oh republicans are getting at 19 more house seats if the supreme court ends racial segregation ends racial prejudice um then uh that's their number so in other words like that's their pessimistic take on events but one way or another i'm telling you however this settles out you can't draw districts based on skin color districts look if a community is predominantly one skin color And they happen to also be like a cohesive town. Okay. So the district is majority black or majority Hispanic, whatever. It's a town. It's a coherent thing that should be a congressional district. You should draw it based on, is this a real community? But you should not draw it based on, hey, what's the skin color of the people within the district? Let's carve it up so we can guarantee more Democrat seats. No, that's actually forbidden. And today the Supreme Court justices have an opportunity to smack this crap down. So this is a massive, massive case with big implications for the country, important ones. And you should know about it, which is why, of course, we're talking about it. That's what we do here on this edition and every edition of Vince. I've got a lot more to get to. Let's get to the Charlie Kirk Medal of Freedom Ceremony at the White House yesterday.

Medal of Freedom Ceremony, a posthumous Medal of Freedom Ceremony yesterday for Charlie Kirk. Take a look here. This is the President of the United States presenting the Medal of Freedom to Charlie's widow, Erica, in the newly renovated White House Rose Garden. Take a look at this. Big event. On September 10, 2025, that age 30, Charlie Kirk was assassinated while addressing the group of students. The United States honors him of a martyr for truth and freedom. There we go. Erika Kirk is there, his beautiful widow dressed in all black. The United States Marine hands the Medal of Freedom to the President. The President brings the Medal of Freedom in a beautiful case. Over to Erika Kirk. The crowd applauds. A touching moment. A sweet gesture.

and a real demonstration of this country's gratitude to the role that Charlie Kirk has played in making it a better place to live. Thank you, Charlie. What a nice, what a nice thing for the president to do. And the president himself, as you know, he's been very busy. He's been, you know, working on world peace, something that Charlie was very eager to see the president do. And he had to rush back from his trip to Israel and Egypt just to be able to make this ceremony. The president said that there had been some conversation about changing the date of it to accommodate his own busy schedule. But he said, When he realized that this was Charlie's birthday, he said he really had no choice. He had to be back for it. Here's the president yesterday saying he raced home to do this. As you know, only hours ago, I returned from a very historic trip to secure peace in the Middle East. People said that couldn't be done. Charlie felt it could be done. Charlie felt it could be done. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you very much. But I raised back halfway around the globe. I was going to call Erica and say, Erica, could you maybe move it to Friday? And I didn't have the courage to call. But you know why I didn't call? Because I heard today was Charlie's birthday. And I said, you know, now we, that was a definite. And I said, we're going to have to forget about some of those very big, very rich countries that expected me to be there. And I can tell you, based on the length of that flight, I wouldn't want to go back tomorrow. But I would not have missed this moment for anything in the world. Nothing. What a nice remark. And what a nice effort that the president has undertaken. That Medal of Freedom, just so people know, is the first Medal of Freedom to ever have a cross inscribed on the back of it. They actually were able to engrave a cross right on the back of it. And it says Charles James Kirk. Guys, can you pull my screen up? I just want people to see this. The back of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Here is Erika Kirk holding it. in the image again a cross for Jesus Christ and Charles James Kirk described on the back of it just really nice thing and a nice gesture by the White House as they give her this wonderful gift Yeah, he is the, isn't he the greatest? The chat saying, man, this guy's such a great president. He really is. Thoughtful, too. They really, they kind of, they don't leave any detail out. They really think through all the details. I, I stink at planning things. I like, I put things together. I forget so much. And this White House, they just really think through all the details. So thank you to the president of the United States for being so attentive to that. And it's a sign of how much they love the guy. They really do. And we have a great country. That video, by the way, I believe was captured by Benny Johnson, who's great. So thank you to Benny for getting that video of Erika Kirk, showing people the back of the Medal of Freedom. Erika Kirk was wonderful, as usual. She said that this cross is the perfect birthday gift for Charlie. Take a look at this. Honestly, President Trump, I have... spent seven and a half years trying to find the perfect birthday gift for Charlie. And it's so difficult. And those of you that have spouses or loved ones, you know how difficult it is sometimes to buy a gift for someone that you love. Because he wasn't a materialistic man, so that also did not help. But now I can say with confidence, Mr. President, that you have given him the best birthday gift he could ever have.

Beautiful. Beautiful. So sad that he's gone. But Erika Kirk. Erika Kirk has been so impressive through all of this. She has just been an extraordinary demonstration of what it means to be a devoted wife. And in his death, she has become as fierce and as determined as ever, which I love. Erika Kirk also said, that she kind of, she acknowledged a reality about Charlie, which is that Charlie was a prayerful man and that he prayed for his enemies, yes, and he looked back, and she looked back at President Trump, almost as if she was inviting him to start doing the same thing. Here's Erika Kirk yesterday in a light and touching moment. God, when it was costly, but that's what we're called to do. Surprisingly enough, he did pray for his enemies. which is very hard, but he did. He did. He did. No one else, I mean, I saw him do it. No, he never did it in front of anyone else, but I can attest to that. But he also loved people when it was inconvenient. And he ran his race with endurance, and he kept the faith. And now he wears the crown of a righteous martyr. Now he wears the crown of a righteous martyr. I love the president when she looks back at him and she goes, yeah, he prayed. Charlie prayed for his enemies. She looks back at the president and he smiles and he kind of shrugs like, all right. Fine. He's better than me. He's a good person. It was funny. That's what the crowd was laughing at. And it was great. It was just wonderful. There's a lot of love there in that Rose Garden yesterday. So many of Charlie's great friends and admirers gathered together to celebrate him. Erica also called on all Americans to embody the Medal of Freedom that was given to Charlie yesterday. Charlie's not here to wear that medal. But the rest of us are here to live out its values. Listen to Erica. This is a commissioning. And my message is simple. I want you to be the embodiment of this medal. I do. I want you to free yourself from fear. I want you to stand courageously in the truth. Listen for the still, small voice of God. And remember that while freedom is inherited in this country, Each of us must be intentional stewards every single day. God began a mighty work through my husband, and I intend to see it through. And the torch is in our hands now. It's in mine. It's in yours. It's in all of yours. It's in all the students with Turning Point USA. We inherit freedom, but it is not guaranteed. It is our job to maintain it. We have an obligation. to keep the flame of liberty burning in the United States of America. That's the role that Charlie played in his life. And so when she talks about the Medal of Freedom and what it implies for the rest of us, well, yeah, we should all live lives that comport to making this country a better place. We've got to do that. Boy, she's good. Isn't she good? She's very good. Really talented and thoughtful speaker. Finally, she shared a birthday message from their daughter.

These poor children, I keep wondering, what do they know about this? They're so young. Erica shared a birthday message from their daughter. She asked their daughter, what would you like Daddy to have for his birthday? And here's what their daughter said. And before I close, I'll share with you that I asked our daughter what she would like to say to Daddy for his birthday. She said, happy birthday daddy. I want to give you a stuffed animal. Oh, man. I want you to eat a cupcake with ice cream. And I want you to go have a birthday surprise. I love you. And while our son is precious, he can't yet speak, in classic Kirk family fashion, his actions spoke louder than his words and his gift to you, Charlie and myself for that matter, was deciding to become the man of the house and be fully potty trained at 16 months. But Charlie, baby, I know that you're celebrating in heaven today, but gosh, I miss you.

It's got to be so tough. It's got to be so tough. Charlie's family was there yesterday. His parents were there. I hadn't really seen his parents throughout this process and there were photos of them standing there as they honored Charlie. And my sense is that Erica's got a great support group around her doing everything they can to help her. But, you know, as any widow knows, as anybody who's lost a loved one who's very close to them knows, you know, that journey is tough. That journey is very, very tough. And Erica, under the circumstances, is meeting this moment magnificently. So God bless her. Thank you to the president of the United States for honoring Charlie Kirk in the way that you have and for using Charlie's passing as an invitation for the rest of us to try and double down on our resolve to make the country great. It's a really big deal. At any rate, thank you. What a nice event. Hey, I see somebody in the chat pointing out. Mary Margaret Ollahan was there. Yeah, we had Mary Margaret on the program yesterday. She's the White House correspondent for the Daily Wire, and she was there yesterday at the ceremony celebrating alongside so many people. There were a lot of well-known conservative media figures there. People were close to Benny, certainly all of the people. It's not Benny. Benny Johnson was there close to Charlie, I meant to say. Benny Johnson was there close to the people who were part of the Charlie Kirk Show there. And then, of course, like a lot of the... You know, my longtime friend, former boss, Tucker Carlson was there and Jesse Waters and Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity and Megyn Kelly. They were all taking pictures together. Glenn Beck was there. So the world. And by the way, not everybody lives in Washington. People, they're all across the country. They all fly in for this. They were very serious about honoring Charlie. It was a really nice gesture. So anyway. It was great to see. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the president of the United States. Now, also thank you to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio did something I thought was really great yesterday, and that was to start kicking out of the country all of these idiot visa holders who rooted on Charlie's death or somehow celebrated his assassination. It's just utterly contemptible that this has been taking place. And here's what happened yesterday. The Department of State posted the following to social media. The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the United States. And they give us, hopefully they give us examples. They say there's an Argentine national who said that Kirk, quote, devoted his entire life spreading racist, xenophobic, misogynistic rhetoric and deserved to burn in hell.

Visa revoked. The Department of State revoked the visa for this idiot. and said, no, you don't get to stay here. Being here in the United States is a privilege. Goodbye. You're disgusting. You're a disgrace. You don't fit in here. Go. You reject our country. Well, then we reject you. The Department of State also saying a South African national mocked Americans grieving the loss of Kirk, saying, quote, they're hurt that the racist rally ended in attempted martyrdom and alleged, quote, he was used to astroturf a movement of white nationalist trailer trash. Oh, well, guess what happens? Visa revoked. Goodbye. A Mexican national said that Kirk died, quote, being a racist. He died being a misogynist and stated that, quote, there are people who deserve to die. There are people who would make the world better off dead. Visa revoked. A Brazilian national charge that Charlie Kirk was the reason for a Nazi rally where they marched in homage to him and that Kirk, quote, died too late. Visa revoked. What else? A German national celebrated Kirk's death, attempted to justify his murder, writing, quote, when fascists die, Democrats don't complain. Visa revoked. A Paraguayan national charge that Charlie Kirk was a son of a bitch, and he died by his own rules. Visa revoked. You are out of the country. The president of the United States, Secretary Marco Rubio, will defend our borders, our culture, and our citizens by enforcing our immigration laws. Aliens who take advantage of America's hospitality while celebrating the assassination of our citizens will be removed. Out is the message. Get out. Now, I've noticed that there are some people who consider themselves to be free speech absolutists that saying that the First Amendment is somehow conferred upon foreign nationals who say vile things about the people of this country and root against the culture of this country. That is not true. I don't know where do these people come up with with this stuff. No, when you are here on a visa in the United States of America, you are here. with the blessing and permission of the American people. And if you root for the destruction of the American people, we have every right to revoke your visa and say, actually, you're not the kind of person that's welcome in our country. It's very different. Then look, the United States Constitution is designed to protect to the utmost, the rights of American citizens. Now, are there foreigners who become the beneficiaries of some of the protections of the Constitution? Sure, in limited ways. That does happen. For instance, if you commit a crime in our country, you're afforded due process rights, definitely, because we have a system of justice that makes fairness the most important quality. Has the left done things to diminish that? Absolutely. But yes.

You will be the beneficiary of the rights that are granted to people who are within our borders. But it doesn't mean that every protection of the Constitution is yours. You're not an American citizen. So, for instance, I'll give you a really clear example, one that most that I don't know anybody you can disagree with unless you're some insane Democrat on the hill. Illegal aliens don't receive welfare benefits in the United States. They're not supposed to. Democrats are often trying to make that happen without out of sight of you, but it is illegal for federal welfare benefits to go to illegal aliens. Now, why is that? Because it's common sense. Why would we give federal taxpayer benefits to illegals? People were not supposed to be here. People were not entitled to them. Now, are those illegal aliens protected by the 14th Amendment of the Constitution equal protection under the law? Anybody who's here gets everything? No, they're not. We don't extend 14th Amendment equal protections to illegal aliens in order for them to take welfare. That's insane. Try that in court. See what that does in front of the Supreme Court. And the same is true of people who express insane opinions who are here as a privilege in the United States on a visa. If you come in here and you root on the death of American citizens, then a state department with two brain cells to rub together should know that you should have your visa revoked and your ass should be kicked out of the country. So they are getting what they deserve. This amounts to winning. And our immigration system, you know, however you come into the country, should be done with a shared priority. Because the immigrant wants to come here because they want to benefit from being in the United States. Fine, I understand your incentive structure. Our incentive structure needs to be, do you improve our country? We welcome you if you benefit us. That's the system. That's the system. This is a bargain we're making. We're not rolling over. We're not kicking the doors open. We're not saying anybody come in. If you come in, you assimilate, you integrate into the country, you join it, you become a productive member of it, and that's the means by which you get in. Otherwise, stay out. And if you're here already, we'll take you out. Thank you to... the State Department for doing this. You know, it's crazy that it takes this much. It's just crazy that it's taken this long to be this sensible, isn't it? And this administration has demonstrated a lot of common sense. A lot of it. Okay. Let me see. Boy, I'm telling you what, I've got so much I want to get to today. I don't want to miss out on anything. So let me try and do some rapid fire here. There's a Politico report. So there's something going on here. Democrats are the winning that I'm describing is driving Democrats crazy because they cannot find scandals to wrap their arms around. They are struggling to find real scandals to smear Trump with.

So what they are relying on is what Nancy Pelosi calls the wrap-up smear. And the wrap-up smear is very basic. It's basically the left lodges some sort of fictional or unrelated complaint against the people that they hate in the hopes that it sticks. And then somehow voters will hold them accountable for things that they didn't do or distortions about their record. So we just got a version of this yesterday. And it comes to us from... what you guys were calling earlier, as Dan calls it, Bolshittico, Politico. And this is the story. You ready? You're ready for this? This is super dramatic. So just prepare yourself for how crazy this is. Here's the headline on it. I love Hitler, is the headline. I love Hitler. Leaked messages expose young Republicans racist chat. Okay? And so the piece revolves. around a number of apparently young Republicans, young Republicans as an organization, I guess primarily based out of New York in this case, where you had these young people who have none of whom I've ever heard of. I have no idea who these people are candidly. And I've been in and around conservative politics on conservative media for a long time. I have no idea who any of these people are. But Politico's insisting that they are the epicenter of the Republican Party. This is what they're trying to imply. That somehow this is everybody. And what you read is a bunch of, this is a group chat that these guys were having privately amongst themselves where they were saying stuff like, I love Hitler. Now, clearly, anybody who writes that, I mean, that has to be some sort of dark, insane joke. But they're edge lords. They're people who are just edge lording each other. They're trying to be as dark as they possibly can. And if you read through these things, you're like, is that, is that, was that a racist comment? Flatly. There's flatly racist, bigoted garbage in this. But again, I'm wondering what the hell does this have to do with anything? Candidly, with anything, with the rest of us. So Politico goes out of its way to write this big scandalous story. And they try and link it to the Trump administration. And in fact, they say there was one person who was apparently on the receiving end of these chats who works at the small business administration. One person in the chat works in the Trump administration. He serves as a senior advisor in the office of general counsel within the U.S. Small Business Administration. But here's the thing about that part of the story. You ready for this? That person did not have much to say in the chat. But he didn't offer any pushback against the offensive rhetoric in it either. He declined to comment. That's the scandal that this guy was ignoring his group chats? Do you know how many group chats I get put on that I don't even want to be a part of? And I'm like, maybe one day I'll go and check what the hell these people are talking about. You're really trying to create a scandal here? Talk about a bunch of garbage. And so what you're witnessing right now, as is typical. is the media has suddenly found a bunch of text messages that they're interested in. And they involve unknown, so-called young Republicans who are trying to out-edge lord each other. Now, if you had one of these Democrats in front of you who was saying, I'm so scandalized by this, here's a simple question. Name one person in this text chain. Name one. Go ahead. I'll wait. No, no, no, no, no, no. Just name one.

I don't know who any of these people are. Nobody knows who any of these people are. It's completely irrelevant. Yeah. We have no idea who the hell these people are. Meanwhile, the leading candidate for Attorney General in the Commonwealth of Virginia, or at least up until recently, the leading candidate, Democrat, Jay Jones, has texted that he wants two bullets in the head of his Republican political opponent. Two bullets. And there is... There are media crickets about this question. Two bullets to the head of Todd Gilbert, the former Speaker of the House. He also suggested that he wanted to see Todd Gilbert's kids die in order to change political outcomes in the state of Virginia. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Not on the left. JD Vance has weighed in on all of this. He's noticed the ridiculousness of all of this. And he wrote the following on X last night. Quote, this meaning what Jay Jones said, is far worse than anything said in a college group chat. And the guy who said it could become the Attorney General of Virginia. I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence. That's why that man deserves to be the vice president of the United States. He is not falling for that ship. He's not falling for it. Does this excuse people acting poorly? No, you should comport yourself well. Remember that the internet is a constant record of everything you do. Try to be the best version of yourself, including in private, always. But... Should this be used as some sort of broad smear against Republicans everywhere, this like random political garbage? No, it's insane. So any Republican who falls for this crap, who plays by their rules, who says, yeah, go ahead, stab me some more. You're a psychopath. You're a psychopath. You're a masochist. And JD Vance is saying, I'm not playing this game. So Vice President JD Vance instantly detecting the tremendous amount of horseshit that's at play here and calling it out. So good for the vice president of the United States. Really very good. Okay, one more thing for you today that I wanted to get to because I can't resist. I can't. PsychoGate continues. You know, Katie Porter. She's the leading candidate for governor in the state of California. She's a crazy person. She treats everybody around her like crap. She treats interviewers like crap. She treats her staff like crap. She doesn't think the voters are worth a thing. She believes in abortion to solve inflation. She said every possible psychotic thing you could possibly imagine in public and certainly in private. And here she is trying to rescue her failing candidacy right now. She just did an interview yesterday where she's pretending to be contrite. This is with Nexstar.

She sits down for an interview. She's pretending to be contrite. Now, pay attention to this because you can tell that she tried practicing it before she sat down for the interview. And she's leaning into a speech pattern that she doesn't normally use. And the speech pattern here is... Up talk. Up talk is when you end each sentence in a higher register than you started it in. And usually it's a very clear sign of insecurity, a very clear sign. And so what ends up happening here is Katie Porter tries to uptalk her way out of PsychoGate. Take a look at this. Should California voters feel confident? that there aren't any more Katie Porter videos out there? Well, what I know is that I could have done better in those moments. Better? I'm going to be focused on earning their votes and earning their trust. That's true in every election. I've only ever had tough elections. So I'm absolutely aware that I'm going to have to continue to show them. I'm going to have to answer every question. I'm glad I got to continue that interview and finish that interview and answer all her questions. And that's what I'm going to continue to do. But not just the CBS interview, the interview with the staffer. Can voters be confident? that there won't be another one of those videos that's going to come to light. What I do know is that I could have done better on that situation. That's not a no. So is there potentially another video that we're going to see? Nikki, I'm going to be honest with you. I know that that video and that video was several years ago, as you know. And I apologize to the staffer. That's super important to me. And we'll continue to try to hold myself to do better. That's what I can promise. But not that there's not going to be any more videos, because that's what people are wondering, are we going to see something else like that? I can tell you what I've told you, which is that I am taking responsibility for this situation. And I'm also not going to back down from fighting back for California, from being tough. I don't think this is a moment where the same old is going to cut it. But that doesn't change the fact that I, what I did to that staffer was wrong. I've acknowledged it. Wrong? to her she just keeps going it's so crazy are you listening to this shit oh my gosh she's unreal and imagine how angry she is my favorite part of that interview is she has to control her normally unbridled rage she can't so you know what you know what's playing out in Katie Porter's head as she's doing this She's, I just want to grab this woman by the throat and I want to dislodge her trachea. I want to, I want to pop her head off of her body. I want to choke slam this lady for daring to ask me these questions. And, and she's doing, you know what the interviewer's doing? The interview is doing my favorite thing to do to Katie Porter.

Follow-ups. She's asking follow-ups. And Katie Porter is just struggling to keep her head above water. I love it. I think the whole thing is so freaking funny. It's unreal. At any rate, we'll keep following the PsychoGate saga because it's hysterical. And I'm going to do everything I can to help the good Californians here. We have to. We've got to help our brothers and sisters in California, you know? That golden state needs to become golden again. We are living in the golden age of America, after all.
