Starting point is 00:00:12 Talking Points Memo this evening is some new information about the ICE Minnesota conundrum. So this is New York Post reporting. I've checked it. I mean, I don't have any reason to doubt this. So according to Post, the New York Socialist Movement, which is very well organized here in the city, Democratic Socialists of America, They are mobilizing 4,000 anti-ice activists to stop any kind of ice apprehensions in New York City, the largest in the country. Four thousand. Now, this comes to no surprise to me because the Minnesota demonstrations are not organic.
Starting point is 00:01:00 They're organized by far left people who are using the immigration and the United States. ice roundup to try to destabilize America. That's what they're trying to do. There is an opening there. All right, we saw that with George Floyd. It's the same kind of tactic. But they're not really as successful as they like to be. So let me run it down for you. Over the weekend, there were a few demonstrations, anti-ice demonstrations. Minnesota, of course, Minneapolis. Broadview, Illinois, outside of Chicago. Denver, Portland, Maine, not Oregon, Maine, and a couple of others. One in Jersey, I guess is Marstown. But it wasn't much.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And there was no violence, good, few arrests, but not many. But this was not a populist uprising. And that's important to know. The Pentagon says it has alerted 1,500 soldiers that they may be needed to go to Minneapolis to calm things down there. And the reason is that Minnesota, state police, and Minneapolis, local police, will not protect federal agents. That's pretty startling, pretty stunning. if an Intersection Act
Starting point is 00:02:33 executive order was signed by the president he would have very firm legal ground so the state of Minnesota
Starting point is 00:02:42 is in rebellion to the United States I hope he doesn't sign the Insurrection Act I hope that doesn't happen because that will just
Starting point is 00:02:51 inflame things all right it doesn't look to me like ICE got about 4,000 agents on the ground of Minnesota now is in any danger being overrun.
Starting point is 00:03:04 But, you know, it's obviously that this state has got to be dealt with. Here's the mayor of Minneapolis once again. Go. Right now we have about 600 police officers, and they've got 3,000 or so ICE agents and border control, that they are now talking about deploying 1,500 military. this is, well, it's ridiculous, but we will not be intimidated by the actions of this federal government. What's ridiculous is you, Mr. Mayor, telling your police department not to protect federal agents from harm. I mean, that's just disgraceful. It's awful. I mean, there's no other adjective to apply to it. Even if you disagree with the policy, you want federal agents to be hurt?
Starting point is 00:03:54 Not what you want? Apparently, yes. All right, so there is in the city of Minneapolis a separation ordinance, which is totally illegal, okay, that says that the locals don't have to cooperate with the federal government. Only illegal. But it's on the books there, just so you know. And I'll tell you, Minnesota's never going to recover from this, ever. So you're just being in Minnesota nice and scrow up and jump in the lake. I jumped in Rainey Lake and I had a great time up there. I'm not going back.
Starting point is 00:04:31 There's nothing to get me going back to Minnesota. I'm not going and spending money in a state that's in rebellion to the federal government. I'm not doing that. You don't think I'm alone. Polls. All right. So this is a CBS poll. Very simple.
Starting point is 00:04:49 Right now, do you think the way immigration customs, ICE, is conducting its operations when it stops or did you? contains people is too tough, 61%. Not tough enough. 15, about right, 24. So you got a plurality that says, too tough. And I agree with that. I think ICE has got to bring it down a little bit. Okay? Not chasing criminals, but if it's a marginal situation, you let it go a little. You don't let it go forever. All right, you just take care of it later when his temperature is lower. Now, the Democratic Party is divided into moderates and radicals. The radicals run the Democratic Party.
Starting point is 00:05:41 One of the radical senators, a man named Ruben Gallego, from Arizona, who is hoping for a full rebellion. Roll that tape. From my experience running in Arizona in a very hard, hard state when it comes immigration, immigration issues. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals, right, and focuses on criminals. And immigration enforcement is actually focused on security and not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Donald Trump. No, that's totally ridiculous. So ICE agents can't adjudicate people's status in the street. Okay? So they have targets that they're targeting criminals. And the stat that ICE put out
Starting point is 00:06:25 about Minnesota's, they've rounded up 1,500. That's a lot of people. 1500 criminals, foreign nationals there. That's a lot. Anyway, Gallego, I don't know if he's smart enough, I doubt it, but you can't, if you're an ICE agent and you go in on a raid targeting someone who's a criminal, and there are five other people who don't have credentials to be in this country, you just can't let them go. You have to take them in. You have to take them in. in and then they're adjudicated from there. So it's just, these guys are going to go, okay, you're bad, you're good.
Starting point is 00:07:06 He doesn't have the ability to do that, he or she. It's just so ridiculous. But that's the status of our politics today. Okay. Virginia. So the new governor comes in. Abigail Spam, Berger, replacing Glenn Yonkins. So Governor Yonkins said to Virginia authorities,
Starting point is 00:07:32 you've got to cooperate the federal government when they're hunting down foreign nationals that they want to detain. You've got to cooperate. Well, first day, Abigail, now you don't. This is the Democratic Party. It was the same thing. If you know your history, and please re-confronting the presidents,
Starting point is 00:07:53 please because you had you know states and go hey it's not going to obey what you say President Buchanan President Lincoln there's no difference all right so Spanberger and does that and now Virginia goes over into the sanctuary classification now if you really add it up What is this all about? The Democratic Party does not oppose open borders. If it did, it would have screamed when Biden was doing that. I'll give you some startling stats in a moment on Biden.
Starting point is 00:08:37 But it didn't. It didn't. And to this day, the mainstream Democratic Party, it's okay. Let everybody in. Let everybody in. They'll never admit it, but that's what they're saying. Okay? And when you have a party, a political party, this basically doesn't want, now, if the Democrats had any dignity, they introduce new legislation, new immigration law.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Let's see what you want. Put it out. No, we don't get any of that. I'd like to see what the Democratic Party wants as far as immigration is reform. I'd like to see it, wouldn't you? So we get debated. Now, the media is firmly on the side. Democrats has been since 1968.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Hasn't deviated one bit. And now it's crazy because they hate Trump. So this happened on CBS. Margaret Brennan faced the nation with Homeland Security Director, Christy Noem. Go. Every single individual has committed a crime, but 70% of them have committed or have charges against them on violent crimes and crimes that they are charged with or have been convicted of
Starting point is 00:09:57 that have come from other countries that are here illegally, first of all, and then they have committed a criminal act while they've been here or in their home countries as well. It's not 70%. Yes, it is. Okay, so how do I know? I don't know, you don't know. And that is the weakness.
Starting point is 00:10:20 and Homeland Security. You've got to put it out. How you know that. Now, Brennan's never going to believe you no matter what you show her because you don't want to believe you. Now, keep that stat in mind because I'm going to do a 60 Minutes thing in a moment that that's going to come into play. Okay? So Brennan, in the interview, I didn't use this part of the soundbite, but says it's 40% that ISIS rounding up, that have criminal involvement. Nome says it's 70%. American people don't know. And that's a weakness.
Starting point is 00:10:59 And federal government has got to clarify that. So summing up here. So the radical left is using this to try to destabilize the federal government. Because they hate Trump, they hate everything that is in the capital. they, you know, across the board. And this is an issue. But they're not making inroads yet. Another shooting of a mother.
Starting point is 00:11:28 You have to be careful now. Federal government's got to understand that, you know, Americans are watching this. I think most Americans want a robust immigration enforcement. I could be wrong, but I think they do. But they don't want violence and they don't want unfair.
Starting point is 00:11:46 And that's the memo. All right, so the Justice Department is investigating Jerome Powell, the Fed chair. Now, nobody cares about this, but I do. I'm one of the few that do, 72 years old. And Trump hates this guy. And so a lot of people say it's another revenge play by the president, Jerome Powell being investigated, but it's a little bit more here. So Powell had to testify in front of Congress about a 2.5 billion
Starting point is 00:12:16 $2.5 billion renovation of Fed headquarters in Washington. Now, how do you spend $2.5 billion on a building renovation? How is that possible? I like to know it's my money. So I'm not real sympathetic to Powell. All right. I understand a personal animus here. But hey, 2.5.5. billion? Joining us now from Philadelphia, Anthony Esposito. He's a founder and CEO of Ascalon Six Capital. Okay, so he follows all financial things, including the Fed. What's really going on here in your opinion, Mr. Esposito? I think that Jerome Powell, and Bill, thank you so much for having me, first of all. Jerome Powell has positioned himself in a really bad way with the president because he's done two things that President Trump despises.
Starting point is 00:13:18 First, he's attacked America. Second, he's attacked President Trump. And he's done both of those things through his seat at the Fed and monetary policy. How has he attacked America? He's attacked America with his use of interest rates. If you go back to Trump 1, and I've looked at this pretty in-depth, if you go back to Trump 1, we had a strong economy,
Starting point is 00:13:39 we had low inflation, sub 2%, and Jerome Powell decided that he needed to increase interest rates heading into the tail end of that election, the tail end of that term heading into the election. That made zero sense. Jerome Powell's consistently saying that he's data driven. There was no data at that time to support raising rates into a healthy economy with good employment and with low interest rates. Keep in mind, his mandate is full employment and price stability. We were in that position. He was raising rates. He then was told to cut rates by President Biden when he came into office. He cut 175 basis points in 10 days, which is unheard of in 2020,
Starting point is 00:14:18 or rates to basically zero. And then in 2021 into 22, jacked rates up as inflation was going ballistic. And we had 12, 13, 14 percent inflation rate under President Biden, threw rates up and created a regional banking crisis. That was that scenario at that point. Then we have a point where he is, where it was steady in rates, we're coming into the election, and he decides to cut rates again 50 basis points heading into the election to be supportive of, or you can make a very strong argument to be supportive of Kamala Harris, because there was really no reason to cut rates at that point. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:57 All right. So, we got it. We got it. So Trump believes, and I think you're right, that number one, Powell is a deep state guy who favors the Democratic Party and was manipulating the U.S. U.S. economy to get Democrats elected. Correct? That's what Trump believes, right? I think he pulls back the U.S. economy when he needs to under Trump, and I think he manipulates the rates to benefit the Democrats. Okay, but Powell's out of there. He's retiring
Starting point is 00:15:24 in May, so why go after him on a Justice Department beef? Well, now I think you get to the point of the personal attack on President Trump. President Trump is taking this, in my opinion, as an attack on him. He's not only using the rates to hurt the economy and hurt the American worker, he's actually hurting Trump, whether it be downplaying or pushing back against an economy that's shrunk under term one, whether it be trying to influence voters heading into the election last year. I think that Trump at this point is not a fan of Powell. There's no hiding that, but I think when the Justice Department decides to investigate or at least just ask the questions about what he said under oath in front of Congress, in front of the Senate, I don't think President
Starting point is 00:16:10 Trump is going to step up and say, I don't think that we should do that. He's a big boy. He should be able to answer questions. Yeah, I mean, $2.5 billion is a lot of dollars. Sure is. You know, come on. All right. So there is a bit of retribution in your opinion in the Justice Department, but there's enough legitimacy to make it not some kind of contrived situation. I would say I don't think President Trump had anything to do with the subpoena, but I'm sure that he's not losing sleep over it. No, but he knew about it. I mean, you know how it was a top-down Washington run. He might not have known about it before it was issued, but certainly he's up to speed.
Starting point is 00:16:51 All right, Mr. Esposito, thanks very much. Very kind of you to help us, and we appreciate it very much. Mexico. So yesterday there was a call, and it was between the Mexican president Shinebaum, Claudia Scheinbaum, who I've been researching. Shinebound looks like she's a very hardcore socialist. She really looks like she's out there on the left. And obviously, the narcotic situation coming in is not abated.
Starting point is 00:17:21 And we saw, you know, we blew the boats out of the water for Venezuela, but that was cocaine. And cocaine is mixed with fentanyl and all that. But the majority of narcotics coming in, coming in, because the Mexican drug cartels, are out of control. And Trump wants to stop that. Also, and I did not know this, Mexico supplies almost all the oil, the Cuban. And President Trump says he's going to allow that to happen, to continue. And I suspect he's going to do that because they're close to a deal with Havana. I think that's what's going on. Anyway, so Scheinbaum wants the money. Not a lot of money involved, but she is a socialist, so she's going to be sympathetic to Havana.
Starting point is 00:18:08 So they're going to still ship the oil there. But the cartels should want to cooperate. You know, Mexican sovereignty and all that. Hey, lady, you're hurting our country. So you better work it out. Okay. Maria Carino Machado. She is a Venezuelan who apparently won the last,
Starting point is 00:18:37 election, but Maduro wouldn't leave and she was booted and won a Nobel Peace Prize. She is going to meet with President Trump on Thursday. Now, I did talk to the president about this directly on the phone, and I'm glad this meeting is taking place. Okay, I think that he doesn't, he's not sure if there's anybody in Venezuela can run a country now, but I think the CIA is, going to run it for the next year anyway. That's my opinion. And then you have a free election. But I think Ms. Machado should be treated with respect and the president is going to do that tomorrow. Not tomorrow, Thursday. All right. Now, there's been a lot going on foreign policy-wise in this hemisphere. And we'll get to Iran in a moment. But there's a guy that we like.
Starting point is 00:19:33 He's a professor of history at the University of Arkansas. And he's got a book, John Quincy Adams, a man for the whole people. And Adams is very involved with foreign policy because he was an ambassador overseas in the early part of our republic. And Randall Woods, Dr. Woods, joins us now from Fayetteville, Arkansas. So you say, apparently, that John Quincy Adams would not. have approved of Donald Trump trying to reshape this hemisphere to be more pro-American. Is that correct? Do I have it correct? No, I think that he would approve efforts to recreate the Americas to suit our interest. I'm not sure he would have gone about it in exactly the same
Starting point is 00:20:24 way. You know, the Monroe Doctrine was both expansionist and isolationist. There was a warning to Europe, the Holy Alliance, to stay out of hemispheric affairs. But it was also a kind of statement that the hemisphere was going to be, we were going to be the hegemon in the hemisphere and not Europe. Right. But I would get an A in your class because my hand would go up and go, hey, doctor, did you know that John Quincy Adams, the Secretary of State under James Monroe? How about that? Okay, that's an A. So that when the Monroe Doctrine was forged, John Quincy Adams was standing right there going, yay, and now we have the Don Roe doctrine, which isn't that much difference in the Monroe Doctrine? It's really not, is it?
Starting point is 00:21:16 Yeah, it is. It's about the kind of threat. You know, the U.S.-Latin American relations is a history of U.S. intervention in Latin America from the Spanish-American War when we converted Cuba into a protectorate through Theo Roosevelt's Big Stick, and then Woodrow Wilson's missionary diplomacy. We intervened
Starting point is 00:21:44 in the 1930s because of the threat of a Japanese and Nazi aggression, and then during the Cold War to combat to Castroism and the threat of Sino-Sovietan imperialism. But I don't think there's the existential threat now.
Starting point is 00:22:02 Well, let me challenge you on that. Narcotics flooding into this country killing millions of Americans over periods of time. At Medcan, we know that life's greatest moments are built on a foundation of good health, from the big milestones to the quiet winds. That's why our annual health assessment
Starting point is 00:22:18 offers a physician-led, full-body check-up that provides a clear picture of your health today, and may uncover early signs of conditions like heart disease and cancer. The healthier you means more moments to cherish. Take control of your well-being and book an assessment today. Medcan, live well for life.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Visit medcan.com slash moments to get started. And they're coming from nations in Central and South America. That's a national security threat, is it not? Nobody's forcing Americans to take drugs. No, no, that's true. But you have, no, no, right. Nobody forces anybody. And I have been very harsh on drug addicts because they're helping these cartels.
Starting point is 00:23:06 However, that doesn't negate the threat to the country because we have a bunch of idiots that want to get high. And these cartels and Medoro and the Colombian guy, who's going to be neutralized very quickly soon, these are people making money off hurting our country. So president's supposed to just do nothing about it? Is that what you saying? I'm not sure that's a good reason. I think the shot, I think that Maduro was a bad actor. It is a bad actor. No, he's a corrupt guy. He's got indictments all over the place. There's a lot of other corrupt regimes around the world.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Well, you're doing a what about now. We'll knock them down one by one. You got Noriega out of there. It was in a scream policy then, and it's the same thing with Maduro. And now, did you know that Maduro seized, along with Chavez in Venezuela, in 19, billion dollars with the U.S. assets? And people are complaining about Trump seizing their oil or regulating your oil? What is supposed to do? Just walk away, doctor, of $19 billion in theft? Is that what you would do? Why did Donald Trump pardon the Honduran president? What? Say that again? Why did Donald Trump pardon a convicted drug dealer, the former president of Honduras? Well, he did that for political reasons inside of Honduras, as I explained on this broadcast.
Starting point is 00:24:32 And it was about getting a pro-American party elected. And this guy, this thugged that we convicted, is still popular down there. And that's why he did. It was a purely political move. So, but you can what about all day long. I'm not saying that everything Donald Trump does is correct. I'm saying the overarching of challenging anti-American countries, countries that are hurting me, my children, my family is a legitimate way to use our
Starting point is 00:25:02 power. Last word. Absolutely, I agree with you. I just think there's a better way to do it. What better way? Then how would you stop all the tons of narcotics coming in here? If you look at the history of regime changes during the Cold War, they use the CIA. Well, that's what you do use it now? The CIA ran that entire Venezuela in operation. The CIA is an alternative to armed inventory. The CIA designs the military operations, military action. The Pentagon carries them out. Anyway, very provocative.
Starting point is 00:25:41 The book is John Quincy Adams, a man for the whole people. And I'm sure you knew this, doctor, that John Quincy jumped naked into the Potomac River every day. You know, I don't know that had anything to do with its foreign policy, but you get a little brisk. Okay. Xi, China, so you know, I was over there in May, and I told you what an intense police state. So this is interesting.
Starting point is 00:26:06 So the Central Commission for Discipline in China put this number out. About a million people in 25 were sanctioned by the Chinese government in Beijing. A million. Now, that extends from getting a bullet in the back of the head to disappearing, winding up in some camp way out in Western China or a fine or whatever. Remember, they have mobile in China, mobile execution vans that go from town to town, and political prisoners being held in this come in and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. a million.
Starting point is 00:26:49 So the next time, you know, these are, this is what we're dealing with in this world. Poll, American politics, Wall Street Journal. Okay. All other things being equal, if the election for Congress held today, it's more likely to vote for Republican or Democrat.
Starting point is 00:27:11 Republican 43, Democrat 47. Unsure, 10. That's a top. All right. Second one. Between Democrats and Congress, Republicans, who in your opinion is best able to handle the economy? Democrats, 32, Republicans, 38. Inflation.
Starting point is 00:27:31 Democrats, 32, Republicans, 38. Immigration. Democrats 33, Republicans 44. Wow. So, the midterms still up in the air. According to these numbers, you know, Americans are watching very, very closely. Another poll of CNN, you know, CNN polls skewed, of course. How motivated are you to vote in the midterms?
Starting point is 00:28:04 Extremely motivated, very motivated, together 71%, not very motivated 14. Okay, that sounds legitimate to me. People are going to want to get out there. Republicans, extremely motivated, very motivated, 73. Democrats, 81. Advantage to the Democrats there. 60 minutes. Now, that's a very interesting story.
Starting point is 00:28:33 So you'll know, or you'll remember if you follow the media, that the new woman who runs CBS News, Barry Weiss, held up a report by one of the one of the one. of the 60 Minutes correspondence, Sharon Fosek, something like that. I don't really know. I don't watch the show very much. I used to watch it every night when Mike Wallace, every time it was on, I watched. But anyway, the story was that U.S. has deported 250 Venezuelans to El Salvador where to get the hell beat out of them in a brutal prison. Okay. Now, as some of you know, I covered a war in El Salvador, a brutal country.
Starting point is 00:29:18 And it was out of control because the gangs, the drug gangs, are running it. And then the president came in and said, we're throwing you all in jail, no due process. It's going to wound you up. If you got MS-13 on you, you're going. Brutal prison. So the 60 Minutes crew said, oh, okay. So the USA is going to send over 250 Venezuelans to be in this terrible prison. All right.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Now the subterfuge starts. Number one, nobody in the Trump administration would comment on it. I believe that. I don't think the Trump administration won't any part of this story at all. Number two, the person that they used, 60 Minutes, CBS News, point person is a guy named Juan Papier. He is the deputy director at Human Rights Watch. Human Rights Watch is a far, far, far left organization funded by the likes of George Soros and others radical organizations.
Starting point is 00:30:31 60 Minutes did not tell its audience that at all. Roll the tape. These people are migrants. And the sad reality is that the U.S. government tried to make an example. out of them. They sent them to a place where they were likely to be tortured, to send migrants across Latin America the message that they should not come to the United States. ISIS' own records say that only 3% of them had been sentenced for a violent or potentially violent crime.
Starting point is 00:31:05 A slight of hand. Number one, I don't know. I've never seen that stat. Number two, he says, has been sentenced. How would you know? How would you know? All right? He says, oh, we checked in Venezuela. Uh-huh. And certainly in the United States,
Starting point is 00:31:27 sentenced. That would mean you would have to go through a trial. You'd have to be, and that takes years. Takes years. Now, the correspondent for this, Sharon, had to know all that. Had to know.
Starting point is 00:31:48 See, Trump's first year, if you're going to sentence a foreign national for criminality, those trials take forever. They were. 3%. And then they had some guys there. They didn't say how the guys got out of the prison. And it was a mess. It was a mess.
Starting point is 00:32:10 Sorry. Smart life. All right. So President Trump says you're going to sue. J.P. Morgan Chase for debanking him after the controversy January 6th, 2021. I don't know. All right. But I do know that this debanking stuff goes on. And it shouldn't. Your money should be separate from your politics. So on July 24, 2023, we told you about a new bank, Old Glory, based in Elmore.
Starting point is 00:32:49 City, Oklahoma. On the board is Ben Carson, Larry Elder, a bunch of other people, and they aren't doing any of this debanking, and they're not investing in what they consider radical left companies. Okay. So now I get worried that Old Glory Bank's been so successful. It's going to go public. Now, I'm not trying to sell you on Old Glory Bank. I can't give you financial information. I can't. All right. But I can't. can send if you want to do your research it's old glory bank one word dot com old glory bank bank dot com ice workforce so they launched a 10 million dollar i'm not sure if that's a hundred million dollar i'm sorry a hundred million dollar recruitment push uh seem to be a bit excessive
Starting point is 00:33:45 you're trying to cut down a debt here 100 million to recruit ICE agents and they've been successful. 120% increase going from 10,000 ice to 22,000 this year under President Trump. So just so you know, plenty ice agents. Okay, I mentioned this topic of broadcast, smart life. So as you know, I'm a Luddite. Luddite means you can't fix anything. You don't know technology.
Starting point is 00:34:14 And absolutely I don't. But now I respect the technology immensely because I'm, making my living from it. So we do linear television, News Nation, the first TV. We do direct TV. We do a lot of it. But our big, big audience is on social media and YouTube is astronomical for us. So we go on truth social. Now, true social is what Donald Trump uses to get his messages out. We have more than a million followers. It's staggering. Okay, so if you want to get on that band, it's True Social at official Bill O'Reilly.
Starting point is 00:35:02 True Social at Official Bill O'Reilly. We're very pleased. We've got to get the word out. Okay, we're overtaking everybody. Nobody competes with us as far as information flow is concerned. Because we have the 300 radio stations, and I'll tell you a little bit about WABC, in a moment. And we do have it, but we want to dominate. I keep telling President Trump in my private conversations with him, I say, look, you can go on these shows where everybody loves you,
Starting point is 00:35:31 but is that going to help you win the midterms? People are already voting for you. My operation is colossal now. And we reach people all over the place worldwide, too. You want to get a a message to Beijing, I'm your guy. So I don't know if the president has grasped it yet. He's a linear TV guy. I do know he watches me and my show because he told me, he says, you're first up when I go and review the television. I said, thank you, Mr. President. Very kind of you to say that. But we're trying to get an interview with him. Hey, you know. And I know if I were on Fox still, that it would be much easier for me. But I think politicians, people have got to understand the change that is undergoing.
