Starting point is 00:00:00 I told you so. I told you that the speaker thing would work itself out. Now we have a new one. Mike Johnson, Republican, of course, from Louisiana. You got 220 votes. So he's a new speaker. And right away, the left wing press, and I'm going to get into this more to my.
Starting point is 00:00:30 because I got so much to tell you about tonight. They're hammering Johnson about the election 2020. You know, I never ends. We have Senator Ron Johnson, no relation to Mike Johnson. You're going to analyze this and a few other things. There's also a media display about the Donald Trump legal matter, and that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points memo. So as we reported yesterday, Jenna Ellis, former Trump attorney, pleaded guilty to a felony count in Georgia of aiding and abetting false statements in writing.
Starting point is 00:01:10 And basically, which Ms. Ellis admitted to doing was telling Georgia elected officials false things to try to stop the Electoral College certification of the presidential election. and that's what she did. Okay. So she got in trouble because the millions of people who were in the fraudulent election camp, and this holds to this day, believe what they want to believe, led by their leader, Donald Trump, who wanted to believe the election was a fraud. Still, to this day, he wants to believe that. And he's a perfect right to believe that. And so do the people. who support that. You're a perfect right to believe that the election was a fraud. But you can't say it's true.
Starting point is 00:02:06 You see, there's a difference between belief and truth. Under the Constitution, you can have all kinds of beliefs. But if you're going to make direct accusations that a presidential election was a fraud, you've got to be able to back it up. Particularly if you try to influence people to change that election. to change that election. Are you with me now? So Donald Trump cannot be charged
Starting point is 00:02:34 with believing the election was not honest. Can't be charged with that. He can be charged and has been. We're trying to interfere. And that is a fuzzy word, interfere. You gotta prove it's true. So all day yesterday and early this morning, I had to go through the Mark Meadows.
Starting point is 00:02:57 situation. Mark Meadows, as you remember, was the White Out Chief of Staff under Trump, 21 and 20. He was in there less than two years, but a very influential man at the time. All right, he's a former congressman from North Carolina, 64 years old, and I really have never met him, but I thought he did a competent job. Now, he was charged with this similar charges to Jenna Ellis. He made a deal. The government's not going to prosecute. him, all right, and then he'll tell the government everything that he knows about this Georgia situation. Okay, and other situations. That's the deal. He can say anything he wants about Donald Trump, Mark Meadows. I mean, he, the meaning he uses the word flip and this and that,
Starting point is 00:03:50 but is all hearsay unless he could prove it because Trump's going to deny it. Meadows has got to have more. Now, in this country, we do press process blowing up. Press didn't care about that. Not one whit. They've already convicted Trump. The liberal press has already convicted him. And they want to, because that's what they want to believe.
Starting point is 00:04:15 It's the same thing in a reverse cycle. But as far as the legal ramifications of this, Mark Meadows goes in and says, well, I told Donald Trump that it was not a fraudulent election. I told Donald Trump it was not a fraudulent election. I told him it wasn't. And the reason I said that is because I have asked all the principles, and I did, and you know that because you follow me, all right, let's see what you got. They had nothing.
Starting point is 00:04:47 It's exactly the same that cost Fox News a billion dollars. So they ran around saying that the voting machines are fraudulent. And they weren't. Or if they were, nobody can come up with any kind of evidence to prove it. You can't do that. So when I'm listening to all this flipping and flopping and this one and that one, it's all BS. But the press loves it. They love it.
Starting point is 00:05:15 They want to destroy Trump. Now, here's what I said on News Nation last night with Chris Cuomo. Go. How big a deal is it to you if Meadows and and three of the attorneys go bad on Trump, how would they go bad? By making assertions that he knew what he was promoting was false and that he either threw them directly
Starting point is 00:05:38 or indirectly tried to manipulate public officials to serve his cause. Well, I'm not gonna speculate on that. Why would I do that? That would be irresponsible. If somebody has proof that Donald Trump did what Jenna Ellis did, try to to dissuade somebody from certifying an electoral boat, and they bring in hard evidence to show that
Starting point is 00:06:00 Trump did it, then Trump's going to get convicted. Because elections don't work on hard evidence. They work on feelings more than facts, and speculation is the name of the game. Well, then he's not going to get convicted. Right. If emotion is, and that's what it's all about right now, right now, things could change. So the point of the matter is that, and I've said this probably, too much. I'm probably too repetitive in this area. Due process in America does not exist
Starting point is 00:06:31 anymore, which is why I wrote killing the witches. The canceled culture has obliterated it, and the media is gleeful about that. Whatever the media wants, the media is going to try to get, they don't care. You just heard Cuomo admit it. Oh, elections, it's all about emotion. All right, but you don't convict people of a crime based on emotion. motion. Now Ms. Ellis admitted what that she did it. Trump's not going to do that. All right. Okay, Joe Biden, uh, been busy spending our money, uh, in addition to the big dinner tonight. Um, last two thousand, twenty three fiscal year just end. The government goes October to October. Wait, ready? The Biden administration spent $6.1.3 trillion dollars.
Starting point is 00:07:25 Record. Nobody's ever come close. Okay. The government took in $4,444 million. Two million deficit in the hole. Now, Biden goes out and says, I'm the deficit cutter. Remember that? How many sound bites? I'll play one for tomorrow. Okay? I'm the deficit. I cut the deficit. Record deficit. What does he care? Biden doesn't care. He's going to be dead by the time this company. comes back to collapse the U.S. economy, it's not going to happen overnight, but it'll happen unless Congress passes a balanced budget amendment, and there's not one Democrat in a country who'll vote for that. Not one. So Biden just spends and spends and spends and spends. And a lot of it's just wasted. Doesn't go anywhere, doesn't do anything. But why does he care? He has to buy votes. Democratic Party has to buy as many votes they can to even be competitive of next November.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Anti-Israel pro-Hamas protests. Brooklyn, New York. All right, 19 protesters arrested, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest. A lot of younger people. This happens Saturday. Roll the tape. They don't get how powerful be rich. Move cops, get up the way.
Starting point is 00:08:50 Move cops, get out the way. Move, cops, get out the way. Move, cops, get out the way. Move, get out the way. Now, there was a lot of interaction between the police and the protesters. So there were some Arabs and people who have relatives in Gaza there, but most of these were activists, communists, you know, people who show up for George Floyd, everything, tear the system down.
Starting point is 00:09:23 But 5,000 is a big crew. Virtue signaling celebrities are, you know, not uncommon. So the artist for a ceasefire on Friday sent a message to President Biden, quote, we urge your administration all world leaders to honor all the lives in the Holy Land, call for and facilitate a ceasefire without delay, an end to the bombing of Gaza and the safe release of hostages. unquote. Okay, this letter was signed by Alyssa Milano. She's the big due process denier. Andrew Garfield, Cape Lanchett, Channing Tatum, Duolipa, Joaquin Phoenix, John Cusack, John Stewart, Kristen Stewart, Michael Moore, and others. Okay? Well, let's look at this. So ceasefire in Gaza.
Starting point is 00:10:20 what would that, what would that mean? Did the United States have a ceasefire after 9-11? Did we say, you know, we know there's going to be some collateral damage for us trying to destroy al-Qaeda, but so we'll have a ceasefire. Not even got to deal with them, right? Do we do that? No. We destroyed al-Qaeda.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And ISIS, Killing the Killers is a book if you want to know how that happened. So if you had a ceasefire today, that means no more military action by Israel in Gaza, that means that Hamas can operate openly and do it again, right? No weapons cash is seized, no Hamas terrorists, arrested or killed, not to cease fire. And somehow the artist for ceasefire, safe release of the hostages. Well, what are we going to do over there? Alyssa Milana, you're going to go over and get them? They're going to give the hostages to you?
Starting point is 00:11:31 Thomas is holding the 200 people, right? Safe release, who's going to do that? So this is, again, virtue signaling with no frame of reference, no common sense. Now, I don't think these are bad people. Some of them are. Yeah, some of them are. But they just do this because it makes them feel good about themselves. I mean, they obviously don't have any relatives in Israel where 1,500 innocent people were slaughtered. No, no, let's have a cease fire. I'm not a warmonger, but you've got to destroy Hamas. Physically destroy them. them, just like we did to ISIS and al-Qaeda. Am I wrong? Bill at bill o'Reilly.com.
Starting point is 00:12:25 Bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets.

Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show. Ask your smart speaker to play the NY Postcast podcast. Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:14:04 All right, let's go to domestic politics. I hate to. So tonight, pretty late, 6.30, nine Republicans behind closed doors are going to tell other Republicans why they should be Speaker of the House. Okay. Who are these people? Emera of Minnesota, Hearn of Oklahoma, Scott of Georgia, Johnson of Louisiana, Bergman of Michigan, Donald's of Florida, Mouser of Pennsylvania, Mouser of Pennsylvania, Sessions of Texas, and Palmer of Alabama. I know nothing about any of them. I don't follow any political party like that. But it is just an embarrassment for the Republican Party.
Starting point is 00:14:52 And Democrats love this because Democrats have nothing to run on next year. Nothing. What have you done? What have you made better in this country? We have social disorder everywhere. We have financial hardship everywhere. We have record spending that sooner or lay is going to collapse the economy. What are you running on if you're a Democrat?
Starting point is 00:15:10 What? They have nothing, except the Republicans can't even get a Speaker of the House. So joining us now from New York is a guy who spent 28 years in the House of Representatives, Peter King, representing the South Shore of Long Island. Give me an overview on this, first of all, all right? A lot of people, they don't follow this. Why did Kevin McCarthy get the boot? Well, Bill, first of all, thanks for having me on.
Starting point is 00:15:43 There's no logical reason at all. Kevin McCarthy was doing the very best he could. He has 221 Republicans, and you need 217 and 218 votes to get anything through the House. And he has to deal with a wide range of members of Congress, people from Long Island, people from upstate New York, as well as people from Mississippi and Alabama. And his job is to unite them as much as they can as he can to. get legislation passed. And to do that, for instance, to keep the government open,
Starting point is 00:16:14 he had to work out a spending bill with the Democrats, which would get enough Republicans and enough Democrats, and he did that. And so he was accused of collaborating with the enemy, with the Democrats. That was the excuse they used, but it was really, he had the support of 96% of the Republicans. There was only eight Republicans went against him, led by Matt Gates. And to me, it was irresponsible.
Starting point is 00:16:37 They had no substitute or trust. candidate and it's the first time in the history of the country that a Speaker of the House has been removed and you would think there'll be some cause for it not just disagreeing on whether or not they should have had a bipartisan solution bipartisan solution to keeping the government open so this was a power play with no no concern for the consequences do you know Gates I was with them I guess the last four years I was in Congress I was there with Gates I always considered him to be a flake, to be a strange guy on the outside.
Starting point is 00:17:13 And now being away from it, it's hard for me to believe that Matt Gates was the one who brought down a speaker of the House of Representatives for the first time in history. I mean, he's not a serious player, sort of a Gaird fly. He loves getting attention. And I didn't know anyone who was really close to him down in Congress. He was one of those guys sitting in the back of the room telling jokes. That's my impression of Matt Gates. Well, he says, and the other seven that went along with him, is that conservative Republicans are demanding fiscal responsibility,
Starting point is 00:17:47 and to make a deal with the other party, the Democrats, who obviously are not responsible fiscally, is a sellout. That's Gates' position. Is there any validity to that? No, the reason is. I'll tell you why. Listen, if Kevin McCarthy had a Republican Senate and a Republican president,
Starting point is 00:18:06 then they could make much more progress than they did the fact is that the democrats control the white house they control the senate and uh kevin mccarthy to me was making the best deals that he could they were incremental but he was making steady progress and uh if it was such a difference having kevin there rather than having a democratic speaker was he was able to block a lot of democratic legislation and using that he was able to make some some progress on you know different spending bills he was able to get a border security bill through the House. He got some inside crime legislation through the House. The reality is that the Democrats control almost all the levers of government, the Senate, the White House, and they're within four, four members of controlling the
Starting point is 00:18:53 House. Gates says, then we should blow everything up. If they have that power, we should just blow it up, shut it down. And that's his posture, correct? It is. And it's totally irresponsible. There's a real role, whether people like the Congress or not, it has a role to play, and now we see it with Israel. We have to be voting on aid measures for Israel, among other things. All right, three Republicans on Long Island, where we are voted against Jim Jordan. Why? The main reason would be that he has shown a real antipathy to New York. He voted against 9-11 health care legislation.
Starting point is 00:19:32 He voted against AIDS of Sandy. and also some of the tactics that we used indicated that he may be leaning too much toward the Matt Gates wing of the party. For instance, the threatening phone calls started coming in once Jordan became the nominee. And it was a strong feeling that more could have been done to stop that.
Starting point is 00:19:52 It was none of that with McCarthy, none of that was Scalise, but suddenly with Jordan, they were getting politically threatening phone calls, which was one thing, but also physically threatening phone calls. and somebody turned that on. Did the election have anything to do with that,
Starting point is 00:20:07 that Jordan voted to decertify the electoral count? Did I have anything to do with it? That certainly did with some Republicans, and including the ones on Long Island, where it's more of a blue-collar conservative attitude rather than this wholly than now. And even though Trump actually did, even in 2020, 20, he carried Suffolk, almost carried Nassau, he carried both of them in 2016, but
Starting point is 00:20:37 Long Island does not believe that the election was stolen. They think they were probably irregularities. Why did the guy from Louisiana lose? Steve Scalise, he was considered too close to McCarthy, I believe. That's the way, as I said, and he was considered part of the establishment. So now, now it's nine guys want it. Give me a quick prediction on what you think is going to happen. quick. Okay. I think the best
Starting point is 00:21:04 would be Tom Emma, who's right now the whip. He's from Minnesota. He's a solid Republican. Understands you've got to bring people together. But Trump is against him, so that could be enough to keep him out. Other than that, Bill, I have no idea where this is going. I talked to people in Congress all the time. No one sees an end to this, which is really
Starting point is 00:21:20 tragic. It certainly is. Not good for the country. Peter King, thanks very much. We really appreciate your time today. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast. Reminding you to tune in to my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics. President Trump and his team are shaking up Washington like never before, and we're here to cover it from all size, especially on the topics the mainstream media won't. So if you're a political junkie on a late
Starting point is 00:21:48 lunch or getting ready for the drive home, new episodes of the Sean Spicer Show podcast drop at 2 p.m. East Coast every day. Make sure you tune in. You can find us at Apple Podcast, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world.
Starting point is 00:22:29 Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Okay, we went over the House Speaker thing. Again, Mike Johnson, Louisiana, Steve Scalises from Louisiana, and Johnson, conservative, man. I think Trump did endorse him, and that was big. So I want a guy who give me a perspective on a whole bunch of stuff. And fortunately, we forged a nice relationship with Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, Swing State. And he joins us now from Washington.
Starting point is 00:23:13 He is a ranking member on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, which is, of course, you know, the Bidens and their finances. First of all, reaction to the new House Speaker. Well, Bill. Well, I'm glad they do have a speaker now. I figured they eventually sorted out. It took a little while, but now they have a speaker. I would say the problems in the House really have not set us back at all because, you know, we're still here, you know, fiddling like Nero as Rowan Burns here in the Senate. We're not exactly the rocket docket. So we're not passing anything. We're barely voting on a minibus appropriation bill, starting to vote on some amendments. So again, it was, it was, it was. It was messy. It was somewhat unfortunate, but it looks like they found a consensus pick, and I'm looking forward to working with the new speaker to start addressing the very serious challenges facing this nation. All right. He's not your little brother or anything, right?
Starting point is 00:24:08 Do you know him at all? Do you know him? No, I haven't worked with the speaker. I've seen him do questioning and hearings. Seems very intelligent, very articulate. Obviously, he was consensus picked by the House, so I've got confidence in my Republican colleagues in the House. to have picked a good man okay um one of the first things you're going to come up is the spending to keep the government open the same old merry-go-round it you guys are always on every two or three months israel biden wants to give israel an enormous amount of money would you vote yes for that well right now the debate is do we do this as a big package where we include you know three
Starting point is 00:24:49 or four different elements uh i think it's pretty strong consensus than our conference the republican conference to treat Israel separately. There's strong bipartisan support. It would pass almost overwhelmingly, almost unanimously in the Senate, probably in the House as well. We don't know where this thing is going. If it's strictly limited to Gaza,
Starting point is 00:25:09 there's a certain level of support you need to provide Israel. If there's a northern front that opens up with Hezbollah, really it's Katie bar the door. We're seeing drone attacks on bases where U.S. personnel are. We just got word from the administration, some U.S. service members were injured, you know, fortunately, slightly injured.
Starting point is 00:25:29 They're all back on duty, apparently, in a drone attack, I believe, in a Syrian base. So we don't know what's going to happen when, you know, Israel finally starts the ground attack into, into Gaza. Nobody knows. But you're- You may be looking at something completely different here. You're generally favorable to funding Israel and giving them American taxpayer dollars so they can defend himself.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Would that be inaccurate? Yes. Yes, I think the vast majority of members of Congress are Democrat and Republican. Let's not mess it up with the controversial items. All right. Now, Ukraine, if the United States were to stop funding it, Putin would win, because the only thing keeping Putin at bay are American weapons and money flowing into that country, which is historically corrupt, as you know. What about Ukraine? Well, whether you agree or disagree with more support for Ukraine, it's more controversial.
Starting point is 00:26:24 And certainly, there are an awful lot of Americans who are wondering why Biden is more concerned about Ukraine's border than our own southern border. So this might be an opportunity. When you have now, Hamas' days of rage, the potential of terrorists coming across the southern border, there will be a big effort to attach true border security to any aid package to Ukraine. I think most Americans, Congress, highly sympathetic with the people, the courageous people of Ukraine, but we're also very sympathetic with Americans, the drug trafficking, the terror. Everybody knows the problem.
Starting point is 00:27:01 Right. Now, the polls show that the vast majority of Americans, 70 percent, don't want the open border. They think this migrant invasion is bad for the country. Yet Biden won't do anything to stop it. So the prevailing wisdom on the right is that Biden's a captive to the far-left progressive money meant, all right, that funds his campaign. And I don't know whether you saw it, but we laid that out last week. Jeffrey Katzenberg is in charge of all the fundraising. He's a big Hollywood mogul.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Soros is pumping money in there, a whole bunch of other Steve Jobs' widow, massive amounts of money going into the Biden campaign. So Biden's not going to do anything to alien at that far-left money. That's why he's ignoring the border totally. Do you buy that? I don't know what his motives, but he's absolutely for an open border. And his Democrat henchmen in the Senate and the House are completely backing him up. So we need to secure our border. As I said, when Hamas is calling for days of rage, 1.7 million known Godaways.
Starting point is 00:28:13 We don't know who these people are, but you think there might be. be a terrorist or two include in that. So what Biden has asked for in his supplement package is something like $13 billion for what they call border security. It's not border security. It's going to actually increase illegal. To get more people in and process. Right. Yeah, you know, it's a joke. So this would be the one opportunity where we can withhold cloture on the overall package, split out support for Israel, and demand a real debate and real border security being passed. All right. So let me just recoup. It's a little
Starting point is 00:28:50 complicated. One, Israel should be a part because that is an ongoing urgent situation to protect the Israeli people. You support the American dollar going over to help that. Two, Ukraine and the border should be tied in. If you're going to continue funding Ukraine, then the Biden administration has to seal up the border. Do I have it right? Yeah, and again, that's the only way we're going to get real. No, I agree. I mean, the guy is, I don't know how anybody could vote for Joe Biden. And I mean that in a non-ideological way.
Starting point is 00:29:26 I mean, the man is just unbelievable. And I'm coming out from a historian's point of view, I know how these presidents perform. All right, final thing is you are on that. Bill, let me just add. There are ways of tying this with metrics. So you can, if Ukraine needs funding sooner, we can start doing it entranches. based on metrics of actually securing the border, watching the number of illegals come down,
Starting point is 00:29:50 watching him implement return to Mexico, watching him or demanding that he institute a much higher standard than credible fear. So there's ways of doing this intelligently. Trump did it. I mean, he did it. Remain in Mexico. Yeah, I mean, he did it.
Starting point is 00:30:07 Okay, final question. Subcommittee on investigations, you're on that committee. Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, all right? So we had a little bit of an headline that Jim Biden wrote a check to his brother Joe Biden for 200,000, soon after Joe Biden left the vice presidency. But now we hear that was a repayment of a loan, which wouldn't be a smoking gun. So if Joe lent Jim 200K and then Jim's just paying it back, that's not illegal. However, this has been shrouded now, the Hunter Biden thing, by the chaos in the House.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Can you give my audience tonight any semblance of where this investigation is heading? Well, first of all, Joe Biden should show the loan document between himself and his brother. Loaning somebody, $20,000 is different than $200,000. So, you know, the House has to subpoena, and they are subpoenaing all of the Biden family bank records. Senator Grass and I, we show the money flowing in from foreign sources into the labyrinth of companies designed to money laundering. under Hunter Biden, but we didn't have the spina power at the time, didn't have the time to, you know, track down all of the other bank accounts for the Biden's where it went into. Where does Joe have his bank accounts?
Starting point is 00:31:25 I mean, all in America, this is active. That's the real. And you feel, because last time you're on a program, you said, it's not going to end well for President Biden. You still believe that? Oh, I don't think so. I mean, James Comer, they're doing a great job of filling in the puzzle pieces, and it just looks more and more corrupt. One thing, and I mentioned this to you in the summer when we spoke, yesterday, the U.S. attorney in California, Estrada, testified in front of Jordan's committee, but it was secret behind closed doors.
Starting point is 00:32:00 Still haven't gotten anything there. If you get something and you want to tell my audience, I'm happy to have you. Okay, I'd love to know what that is. But more importantly, in my independent investigation, is Graves, the U.S. attorney in D.C., who refused to cooperate with Weiss in Delaware, as did Estrada. They refused to cooperate. No matter what Merrick Garland says, he's not telling the truth. Those two men would not cooperate.
Starting point is 00:32:27 Graves' wife, Fatima Graves, has visited the White House 28 times. Her husband sits a few doors down in the Justice Department from Merrick Olin. So, I mean, I'd like to hear why Fatham is in that White House 28 times. I don't know about you, but I really like to when her husband's up to his neck in this kind of investigation. It's a very small, corrupt world within the Democratic elites. And, I mean, let's face it, the fact of the matter that these individuals working collectively and in harmony allowed the standard. limitations to expire on the most serious tax evasion charges. Chairman Wyatim is always talking about wealthy tax cheats.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Well, they've got the son of their president of their party a wealthy tax sheet. And now we're finding out that, again, they're getting supposedly loans from a rich lawyer to pay off the, again, it's just corrupt. It's obviously corrupt. It's just not obviously the mainstream media. But the big one is, did President Biden derive money from his son's grifting? That's it. Senator Johnson, thanks very much. We look forward to talk it to you again soon. All right, let's get to Maine. Every three or four months, some maniac goes out and guns down innocent Americans for no reason. Every three or four months after it happens, the left comes out
Starting point is 00:33:54 and wants to ban all guns. That's the goal for the progressive left, ban all guns. So as a historian, And I know that's impossible because the Second Amendment is not going to be overturned. It's there. And it was put there by the founding fathers on a vote, by the way, in Philadelphia. And that's part of killing the witches. We take you right into that Constitutional Convention over the religion issue. But everything was done there. And the leaders of our country back then, Benjamin Franklin and Madison and Jefferson and everybody else,
Starting point is 00:34:27 they knew that Americans needed to protect themselves because the government could not. The federal government and the state governments in 17, I don't know, what was it? 78 to 83 in that range, they couldn't protect anybody. So individuals had to protect themselves. And that's why the words, a well-regulated militia are in the Second Amendment.
Starting point is 00:34:56 A well-regulated militia, a local group, okay, that come together to defend the area in which they live with firearms. How else are you going to defend it? They start there. Now, there are more than 300 million firearms in the United States. Why so many? Because in our push west from the Appalachian Mountains to California and Oregon and Washington State, there were hostile. factors everywhere, okay, animals, criminals, Native Americans fighting for their own land. Everywhere you looked, if you were part of that movement West, you had to have a firearm.
Starting point is 00:35:43 Had to. And that tradition of firearms took root. Now on the East Coast, we had that, but not quite as intense, but you still have a firearm, if you were in Maine, the Abenaki Indians, or Florida, the Seminoles, they didn't like all this. And there were battles all the time. Okay. So now we're in 2023, and we have a tremendous, violent society, and most of the murders are done with guns. So we have a gun problem. now people on the right who don't want any modification of gun law say it's not a gun problem it's a human being problem which is true you put the gun in the safe gun can't shoot anybody but it's a little
Starting point is 00:36:38 more complicated than that so at the federal level you're not going to be able to ban guns even though the progressives don't understand that they don't care and they can throw it out at the state level you can modify this violence okay on the a lone nut front. Now, I've already gone over what you do with the criminals. Our law enforcement justice department will not take that action. If you are a criminal and you use a gun, the commission of a crime should be mandatory federal prison time. They won't do it. Okay, that's on them. Now, Maine is a great example. Rural state, one of my favorite states. I know it very, very well. Hunting is big there. Outdoors, everybody is, you know,
Starting point is 00:37:17 even during the winter, when it's cold. It is not a rural society. Biggest town is Portland, Maine, It's a gentle town. Not a lot of drug gangs or any of that in me. But there's just as many insane people per capita as there are in California. Insane people are everywhere. And this guy, his name is Robert Card. I'm convicting him, but we got him on videotape shooting, murdering these people, so I think I can do that. All right? He kills at least 18 people for no reason. And some of them are children. All right? So probably he'll be caught by the time I'm talking to you. Again, we tape in the late afternoon.
Starting point is 00:37:58 He ran away. Now, he was in the U.S. Army Reserve, this guy. And the Army flagged his mental state. And this summer, he was put in a mental facility for three weeks or four weeks. I mean, his whole story will unfold. But then he got out because we don't have the capacity to keep people. who are unstable in detention. We don't have it.
Starting point is 00:38:28 Doesn't exist. Now, you can get a court order from a psychiatrist, but apparently this guy got let out, and then he killed all these people. So a guy named Mike Brown, who's the coach of the Sacramento Kings, really took this whole thing personally. Here's what he said. Go. It's a sad day for our country.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It's a sad day in this world. And until we decide to do something about it, the powers that be, this is going to keep happening. And our kids aren't going to be able to enjoy what the United States is about because we don't know how to fix a problem that's right in front of us. There is no fix to the problem, coach. And I admire the coach. There's no fix to the problem. You're going to have mentally ill people commit violence.
Starting point is 00:39:20 and there's nothing in a free society or even in a totalitarian society, the government can do about it. Nothing. The government can make it harder to get a heavy-duty weapon. But that's a state-by-state decision, not a federal decision. All right? You can pass federal legislation to ban certain things like a mortar, like a bazooka. all right but when it comes to high capacity rifles it's a little more problematic but each state can pass public safety laws and main is a lot different than new york in new york you can't
Starting point is 00:40:03 have a everybody carry law because there are 16 million people in a new york city metropolitan area You can't have people, anybody carrying, all right, you just can't. But in Maine, you can have a lien and carry law because you hardly have anybody there. It's a state-by-state public safety decision by the legislature. That is democracy. So, you know, the coaches, well, like there's some magic wand here. There isn't a magic wand. You can do it on the criminal front.
Starting point is 00:40:43 If you make gun crimes, mandatory federal penitentiary situations, you'll cut that. But not the lone nut. You can't do anything about it. Unsolvable problem. Final thought of the day, Halloween Tuesday, big holiday, Halloween weekend. A lot of people watching scary movies. The scariest movie ever is The Exorcist, 1973. I write about it in killing the witches, the true story of The Exorcist, 13-year-old boy in Maryland.
Starting point is 00:41:17 Okay? Anyway, if you're going to watch a horror movie, that's the one to watch or re-watch. Roll the tape. Hello. Yes. I'm Father Barry. Thank you. Is Father Karas here?
Starting point is 00:41:45 Yes. Father? Yes. Father. Father Karis. It's an honor to meet you, Father. All right. The real boy who was possessed by the devil was named Ronald Hunkler, 13 years old.
Starting point is 00:42:08 In the book and movie, they changed it to him to a girl to make more sympathetic. When you see what we have compiled, Martin Dugard and I, about Ron Hunkler and all the exorcists, there were eight of them, three-month ordeal, psychiatrists, doctors, a lot of them were unbelievers, non-believers. And the reason that we brought this into killing the witches is if you are a witch, you are possessed by a demon, the devil. You're in concert with the devil. That exists today. And that's why we use Ron Hunkler. It is simply an astounding story. All right. So killing a witch's best Halloween book ever. And you'll learn a lot about history, your country, and demonic possession. And if you don't
Starting point is 00:42:58 believe, this is a good book to read, because we documented everything. Thank you very much for watching and listening to the Newspin News. New column on Sunday. We'll see again on Monday.
