Hey, this is Virginia Allen, and I'm excited to share this episode of Problematic Women, one of the Daily Signals, other podcasts. Each episode, we navigate the biggest stories in politics and culture. And we have a lot of fun doing it, too. If you like what you hear today, make sure to subscribe to Problematic Women for weekly episodes. Welcome back to Problematic Women. We have a great episode for you this week because I don't know if you've heard, but the government shut down this week.

There's a lot of information going on out there. So we're going to give you the Democrat side, the Republican side. inside. And we're going to ask you at the end, who do you think actually shut down the government? There have been some crazy reactions coming out of this. And we're just going to break it all down for you and make it really simple to understand. Because it's really confusing for us, even in Washington, who live here, to understand what's going on. Also, Crystal had a great interview with a member of British Parliament, Katie Lamb. Conservatism is on the rise in Britain due to some unfortunate happenings recently. And let's say if that actually sticks. Let's see if they're

impressed by Trump-Trumpisms here and if they can implement it there. And also in the pop culture front, there is more to NFL's halftime show performer decision than meets the eye. We're going to bring it all down today on Problematic Women. Welcome back to Problematic Women. I'm Elise McHugh. I'm Morgan. I'm Crystal. And Crystal, please plug your amazing interview that came out yesterday.

We're going to get into it right now. Love it. In case you missed it, yesterday we released the full audio and video from my interview with Sage Steel, who just is such a rock star. She's amazing. She had this storied career in sports broadcasting, and she stood up to the tyrants in Hollywood and said, forget that. I'm going to tell truth.

So now she has the stage steel show. We sat down and talked about her experience, telling the truth, standing up for herself. We were both at Charlie's Memorial, so we talked about that. It was just a few days after the memorial. So very raw and real, but it's great. So if you missed it, go check it out.

It was around five years ago, like to the day that you interviewed her, that she got let go from Disney because she just, she complied with her vaccine mandate, but she had an opinion on it and she spoke out about it. So I think that's kind of crazy. That was one of the craziest parts of the interview, and I just loved watching all of it. So if you haven't caught it,

please go watch it. Please feel free to watch it on YouTube and Rumble, but also audio is great. But yeah, like we said, the government shut down this week. It is shut down. It is crazy. And Morgan, I had no idea how to condense all this information into one,

but you do. So you're going to tell us what happened. I'm going to do my best because honestly, a lot of the feedback that I've been getting this week about the government shutdown is what does the government shutdown mean? What is it to be a filibuster? Why can't Republicans just vote it through? Don't we have the majority in the House, the Senate and the White House? Like, none of this makes sense. So I'm not sure if you knew, but the government is shut down. I don't know how you wouldn't know that from this week. But basically the reason why that it kind of gets this point is October 1 is the beginning of the fiscal year. So that. that means that Congress has to vote on the budget or what they can call a continuous resolution and they have to vote on it to get it passed through to then, you know, all of the finances are allocated towards all of the different departments. And this also means that when there is a shutdown, a lot of people aren't getting paid or they're having to reduce a lot of the federal staffing. So, Social Security offices and things like that. So basically, Congress needs to pass this

funding bill. And if they don't, it's going to continue on until they can get to a resolution. So I'm sure you've probably heard viewers out there what a filibuster is. A filibuster is when somebody delays the vote by talking too long and just pushing the vote, either delaying it a day, a couple hours, whatever the vote is, or even threatening to delay the vote by talking and speaking too long, which I didn't know that, that you don't actually have to speak for 10 hours to have a filibuster. You just have to threaten that you're going to do it. And then it's delays the vote. That feels very D.C. Yeah.

This is really what our politicians are up to. It's like a cat and a mouse game between the left and the right. You know the meme where it's like nothing ever happens? That's what it feels like. This is literally what it feels like. So the government shut down officially happened on Tuesday, correct? It was Tuesday when they were. Tuesday night was like the deadline.

Was the deadline. So officially closed this of Wednesday. We had our daily signal reporters at home in their jammies reporting and they were getting out some great content. So check that out if you have. Check it out. But. So normally you just need a simple majority to vote, which is 51 votes to get something passed, except in the cases of a filibuster where you need 60 votes to get something passed,

which means in this case, some of the Democrats would need to vote in favor of the Republicans in order to pass the vote. There's a lot of issues going on because of this spending package. Basically, the Democrats want to completely reverse the big beautiful bill, put simply. A lot of that has to do with health care, the Affordable Care Act. reversing recent cuts to Medicaid and other social spending. And the big one that everyone's talking about is wanting to fund health care for illegal immigrants. It's like the same song and dance with USAID and funding abortions and health care for illegals and trannies across the sea. It's like the same thing but here on our land.

And I'm just like this again, seriously? It just doesn't make sense why the Democrats continuously are doing this, which, you know, one thing that's been thrown out is how. How is this possible when Republicans control everything? Well, I think the Democrats are doing it intentionally. Yeah, absolutely. Of course, yeah. And, you know, the right is framing this as Schumer shut down. The left is framing it as a Republican's fault, which is pretty ironic because when you think about it,

as simply as I can try to make this, what they're avoiding a vote on is extending the date to actually make a decision. Right. This is a short-term spending. Right. This is short-term, like, CR essentially. They're trying to say, we need. to negotiate more on spending. So let's kick the can down the road. I think it's seven weeks. And the Democrats are like, absolutely not. We need to sign right now. And it's ridiculous because most of what is

in that package is a Biden era spending package. So it's like you're now shutting the government down and causing all this chaos because of your own spending package. Yeah. Yeah. It's just it's quintessential DC makes absolutely no sense. And it's hilarious to see. see some of the reactions. I don't know if we want to jump into this right away. Oh, absolutely. We want to jump into it. Well, actually, first, I think no one could put it better than our own vice president, J.D. Vance. He shuts down all of the arguments on the left about, like, the illegal immigrants and a bunch of them, I don't know if you've logged on a Twitter recently, but they're all like, we're not doing that. It's a Republican lie. Like, don't believe what you're

reading, offering no explanation what they say is actually going on. So here is a clip of J.D. Vance, we're going to roll it and him explaining what's going on. why they actually are trying to fund health care for illegal immigrants. This is a Democrat talking point. They say we're not actually trying to give health care benefits to illegal aliens. And here's why it's not true. There are two Biden-era programs that explicitly gave the taxpayer health care money to illegal aliens that we turned off when President Trump took over in January.

Program number one is there's a lot of emergency health care at hospitals that are provided to illegal aliens. That was funded by the federal government. We turned off that funding because, of course, We want American citizens to benefit from those hospital services not to be taxed and then to have those hospital services go to illegal aliens. The second of which is the Biden administration gave mass parole to millions upon millions of illegal aliens. And then they simultaneously made those parolees eligible for health care benefits funded by taxpayers. In the one big beautiful bill, President Trump and Congressional Republicans turned off that money to health care funding for illegal aliens.

The Democrats want to turn it back on. And in their initial proposal, the first thing that they put out to reopen the government, they actually turned that money for health care benefits for illegal aliens back on. So it's not something that we made up. It's not a talking point. It is in the text of the bill that they initially gave to us to reopen the government. It's preposterous for them to run away from it now. But look, let's set that all to the side.

Let's open up the government. Let's negotiate on all these health care policy issues. Obviously, we're not going to support health care benefits for illegal aliens, but we will work with them to lower health care costs for American citizens if they're willing to do so. He said it exactly right. It's in the text of the bill, but the Democrats telling you that they're not trying to get this through believe that you haven't read the bill. And you know what? You probably haven't. You probably haven't. That's okay. Honestly, I feel a lot of people in Congress haven't even read the bill, especially when it's like

the size of, when it's like over a thousand pages, it's like two full boxes of paper, which I honestly think is ridiculous that our bills are so long. I'm very pro like line item voting. Yeah. But JD's like hit the nail on the head and it really is so disingenuous for the Democrats to hide behind the large bill and not just be up front and honest of like, yeah, we do want health care for illegals because I think that their own base would turn on them if they actually recognized what their party was pushing.

Absolutely. And there's so many different approaches to messaging from the Democrat side as we've seen. A lot of them are going hard and being like, this is a threat. our democracy is that Trump shut down, like the usual things that you hear from them. But then they also are trying to do some funny memes. And you know what? Trump did a funny meme too. And we'll throw it up on the screen here, but he posted a, actually, no, it was like an AI

video, Jif, I don't remember what it was, of Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries. And Hakeem Jeffries had a sombrero on. And J.D. Vance actually reacted to that this past week at a press conference, and he was like, it's funny. But also, they're being ridiculous. so we're going to put a ridiculous meme of them. The left has no capacity for comedy anymore. And it's just, no, you're seeing it play out in real time and so fun.

Yeah, they have no capacity for comedy. However, they are unintentionally funny. And we saw some of Congress's reactions to this. So I want to play a clip first of Chuck Schumer. And you actually brought this to my attention. He sent it to me. It was so good. What exactly happened?

We're going to load up that clip. Okay. I mean, you just have to see it with your own eyes, right? Chuck Schumer is doing the CNN interview. And to their credit, the CNN journalist is asking him, you know, Republicans are framing this as the Schumer shut down. What do you think of that, essentially? And his closing line at the end of this clip is just money. Because Chuck Schumer, like, loses the audio in his ear.

Something happens. He doesn't hear the question, which also he's a million years old. Schumer shut down. Schumer shut down quite literally. But we can play the clip. Every Republican who's gone on TV the last 12 hours or so has called. called this the Schumer shutdown. What do you say about that name? Senator Schumer, can you hear me? I can't hear.

Senator Schumer, can you hear me? I don't think Senator Schumer can hear me right now. Maybe the government shut down included audio on Capitol Hill. That is pure gold. Like, you can't make this up, right? And it's like, I can't hear. It's like, well, we know. you can't hear. Also, apparently you can't hear the American people because they delivered a mandate to President Trump in his entire agenda this past election, and you're not, you don't have the time to listen to them. I like to think that he's just been up for days over the shutdown and he just like pretended to not hear the audio. I can't hear. I don't want to answer your question. I just, I can't hear. Next. And, you know, I don't know if it's better or worse than this next

clip that we have because was it better just to not say anything or admit what Republicans are saying here is Representative Maxine Waters and run that clip she basically admits what we've all been saying about the health care for illegal so we're just going to play that here.

Do Democrats want to prioritize the health care of illegal aliens over a government shutdown because if the government does shut down Americans... Excuse me, stop it right there. We're not prioritizing what we're doing is saying simply we want to keep the government open, and we want to work with the Republicans and have a bipartisan agreement

to keep this government open, and health care is at the top of our agenda. But are Democrats demanding health care for illegal aliens? Democrats are demanding health care for everybody. We want to save lives. We want to make sure that health care is available to those who would die, but having the help of their government. So you're good with the government shutdown, even if it means giving

health care to people who aren't Americans. Well, you keep... That's what you're pushing on. What you're trying to do is you're standing here and you're trying to make me say that somehow we're going to put non-citizens over Americans.

Quit it. Stop it. This is the kind of journalism we don't need. You're divisive. No, you're not. You're being divisive. No. Please. You don't need to. to ask that question. You're just trying to get controversy here. You're not going to get it for me. We want to save health care for all people. Thank you. Thank you, Congressman.

Honestly, this clip, I feel like, is the quintessential Democrat of saying, we want to keep the government open. We want a resolution with Republicans. We'll do anything we can. But we want health care for everybody, and that includes illegal immigrants. So the government's going to shut down. Oh, and add on. Also, if you ask a question about it, like don't. Like, don't. Like, you suck and you're the one who's causing problems. How dare you do your job and ask questions? How dare you ask the green M&M that question? Her attitude is

peak. It's crazy. The division thing is such nonsense because America is the, I would argue, the most compassionate country on the face of this planet. To a false. So her whole premise where it's like, well, if we don't give illegal aliens access to the American health care system for free, which taxpayers are paying for. Right. Then somehow we are evil and we want them all to die, which these are not the same thing, right? But to say, you're trying to get us to say that we prioritize illegals over citizens.

Well, you kind of do. You are. Also, it was like when your whole argument is deflection and saying, you're trying to get me to say this, but then you offer no solution. That's been their whole theme ever since Trump came back complaining, no solutions. And I'm like, well, maybe that is your argument because that's the only thing I'm hearing from you. And I feel like there is kind of this rhetoric where, like, Republicans are anti-health care, which is very interesting to me because J.D. was very clear of like, you know, we will come to the table. And if that means lowering health care costs in certain factions, then okay, great, we'll do that. But we're not going to bend the knee and give health care for free to people who have entered our country illegally. And like, that is the hill that the Democrats are willing to die on. And I truly just don't understand that. And it's so ironic that earlier in the same week, President Trump had in the Oval Office, Eli Lilly, CEO, other pharmaceutical representatives, where they're getting really creative

in bringing down health care costs and prescription medicine costs for Americans and for everyone, frankly, because they came up with this really clever thing. It's like most favored nation status for drugs. It's like Americans forever have subsidized the cost of research and development of drugs that then are exported to other countries. So interesting. Other countries pay way less for the same medication that we would buy here. Trump's like, no, no more of that.

Like, we're not going to keep subsidizing this. Like, you're not going to charge us more when you charge other countries less. And meanwhile, we're footing the bill for all your research. So the same week that Trump is finding clever creative ways to bring down health care costs for Americans, you have the Democrats out there spewing this nonsense. Yeah. And you know what? You know that the White House, not just Trump, but the White House in general is having fun with this too,

especially all the jokes about like, oh, my social media guy got furloughed, but like, make America great again. Caroline Levitt shared No, Scott Jennings shared the tip line What was it? You can call basically the White House if you want to leave comment. So it's like a comment commenting tip line type of thing with the White House.

Okay, so we have a clip of what happens if you try to call them this week. Scott Jennings shared this and we're going to roll that clip now. I can call it. Thank you for calling the White House comment. White House Press Secretary Caroline Levitt. Democrats in Congress have shut down the federal government

because they care more about funding health care for illegal immigrants than they care about serving you, the American people. Until Democrats vote for the clean Republican-backed continuing resolution to reopen the government, the White House is unable to answer your call or respond to your questions. We look forward to hearing from you again very soon, and in the meantime, please know, President Trump will never stop fighting for you. Thank you, and God bless you. Love it.

Absolute cinema. Love. Yeah. They've been having fun over on their social media with this. And so the Republicans. And to some Democrats' credits, a handful of them have voted to pass this continuing resolution. Senator John Fetterman has. No one else off the top of my head.

He usually kind of, he surprises people with how he's going to vote. I'm very curious, though, of like, when they actually do get to a vote, who are going to be the Democrats that decide, you know what? we're going to put our right foot forward and be like, you know what, we're going to pass this CR, but then I feel like they may get ostracized by the rest of their situation. 100%. I mean, Federman's a great example. There's been a few times he's broken and voted with the Republicans, and he's kind of persona non grata to the left now. I know they say some very nasty things about like, oh, do you get a concussion or like just really bad stuff about like his like mental acuity. But our colleague Jared Stepman at The Daily Signal wrote it best in one of his

op-eds this week. go check it out. Actually, I'll link that in the comments section. He said that the Democrat's party has been really taken over and driven by their crazy radical AOC, Ilhan Omar type radical left-wing people in their party. And as we've seen on the bottom level, just normal citizens, they want blood. They want violence against conservatives. And that translates in Congress to you can't ever side with anything that is Trump backed. And that's why we have some people who are Democrats who I never even thought were super radical voting against this thing just to kick the can down the road. You know what I mean? That's very intentional. That's why. It's

intentionally done. And I think that these radicals really have taken control of the party and they're continuing to not have a place where there can be bipartisanship with anything. Like I think they're very much enjoying and pushing it as further as far as they came towards the midterms to where they're hoping to gain control of either the House or the Senate. But it's, it's a very much enjoying, It's really unfortunate that they can't even look at the American people and be like, you know what, this will benefit even our party and instead, you know, just dig so far in the sand and say, nope, we're not going to support you at all. We're going to die on these hills over these small things. And like you said, it's a short-term resolution. This isn't like for the entire fiscal year that they're voting on. So it just seems like a lot of nonsense to me. Yeah, absolutely. Okay. So question for the table then. After all this information, who do you think is to blame for the government shutdown? Is it entirely Democrat? that's more of Republicans, a little culpable. I mean, I think it's clear that the Democrats are responsible for this. Yeah.

Yeah, 100%. Like, if they didn't filibuster, if they would have just, like, had a handful of them vote for the resolution just to push it down the line and, you know, actually get some negotiating happening, this wouldn't be happening. If they came to the table to negotiate in good faith, right, and not treating it like a hostage situation, which is what it feels like. They don't actually care. I think there's some bigger issues in America.

that the Democrats need to focus on in their own cities. Like Ilan Omar, why is there so much illegal activity happening in your city? Exactly. So, yeah, question of the week. Please let us know in the comments. Who do you think is culpable? Do we think it's a little bit of both? Is it more one than the other?

And let us know why. We're so interested to hear that. And, yeah, you see that it's not just, like, right versus left in terms of, like, the tension in our country right now and in the world. but this bleeds out into just like your values and values are under attack. And this kind of goes into what we've been seeing this past week with the attack on the Mormon church. It got lit on fire. And actually this past week, Crystal, you're telling me about an attack on a synagogue in England.

Yeah, just in the past couple days, right? And it's like, I feel like we were just talking about this last week or the week before. We've been talking about this for a while, this uptick in just political violence and violence, especially against people of faith. You know, you can take them all off. We don't need to go down that road, but we saw the Mormon church this week. Morgan, I know you have thoughts on that.

But also in England, just a couple days ago, a synagogue was attacked. And this comes two weeks after, I don't even know how to say the name of the artist, some Irish rapper. That's a thing. Two weeks, about two weeks ago, was on stage in the UK,

like saying some very hateful things about Jewish people. Was it kneecap? No. That's another one. There's a couple, but you've seen this a lot, right? And like in Kirstarmer's Britain, there is a major attack on free speech and on people of faith. And we keep seeing this time and again. So a couple weeks ago, this Irish rapper was on stage basically calling for violence against Jews, which is insane.

And just two days ago, lo and behold, it happens. And there was an attack on a synagogue, at least two Jewish people died. This was on Yom Kippur, which is like the holiest day for Jews. right and it's just it breaks your heart but do you want to comment on that before we no i mean they're both like it's not just political violence it's religious violence and i do feel like it's happening on only the left side towards the right because you see like i personally do not see how you can be a bible even christian and be a liberal same with even a lot of judaism following the old testament even Mormons like although i'm not a Mormon and don't align you.

with that it's just unfortunate that faith believing people whatever religion it may be are being persecuted for their beliefs that honestly hold you to a higher standard and it is the rhetoric like you know you just saw a famous person in the UK stand up on a stage and like want and wish violence to get against people you're seeing that happen in america honestly weekly that leads to i don't think just political violence left-wing violence we saw that obviously happened with charlie kirk this month yeah direct result of Democrats continuously calling for violence against conservatives. And it just like continuously is happening. And then when you see it happen not just internationally, but then on American soil,

I just feel like it hits home a lot more. There was the shooting at the Catholic school. Yeah. And it's like how many times it's going to happen, whether politically or religiously, where Christians and conservatives really have, I think, a duty to stand up and do something and fight back, have a message. And I mean, I know a lot of churches that have armed security where members of the congregation are carrying while they're in church.

And it's really sad that, like, we have to go to these extremes to protect ourselves so that we can worship Jesus Christ, you know? Exactly. Just the simple act of expressing your faith and going into church. You're not even protesting. You're not rallying up a bunch of people. It's just you're going there to have an intimate relationship with God. And that really, like we keep saying on this show,

it feels like spiritual warfare. It's good versus evil. These are evil people that are out, not just in our country, but in the world, that wish to harm and kill Christians and just, I guess, silence the messenger. But I know that, you know, you can't actually silence a messenger. The message will only grow louder. And that's, and it is. And it is very encouraging. I mean, we've seen it so much in the aftermath of Charlie's assassination and even more so every day that goes by where there's more nonsense like this happening. It just fuels the fire. But I want to give a quick disclaimer before we pivot to a portion of this interview. This is like two weeks in a row where I've gotten to do solo interviews. It's really cool. I'm not mad about it. I like this segment that we

have. I like this. Next week, POTUS. Okay. Say less. It just is happening somehow. Quick disclaimer. The interview that we're going to share a segment of is with Katie Lamb, who's a member of parliament in the UK. She's amazing. A young conservative woman, like, just doing the Lord's work in the UK. And she is not afraid to shine light on some really, really difficult truths. And so when we roll this, just know there are some expletives in her floor speech. It's really sensitive content.

She's talking about these gangs around the UK of mostly Pakistani or Pakistani descent males. who are raping and pillaging young women across the UK, some boys too. And it's really a tough subject, but just if that's not your thing, or if you have young kids around, you might want to fast forward or pause, save the rest of this for later, we'll release the full interview next week, similar to how we dropped Sage Steele's interview yesterday, plug. But in the meantime, we're going to roll this,

and then we'll give you our reaction. The girls we are talking about, Mr. Speaker, are predominantly white. The men who prayed on them were predominantly Muslim, generally either from Pakistan or of Pakistani heritage. One of the victims from Rujisbury was told by her rapist, I quote, we're here to f*** all the white girls and f*** the government. Will the minister accept that, in many cases, these crimes were racially and religiously aggravated?

How, without a national inquiry, can we understand what part these factors played. There is no question that the state has failed these children time and again. Take the case of Anna from Bradford, vulnerable and in residential care. At the age of 14, she made repeated reports of rape and abuse to social workers who were responsible for her. But just the following year, aged 15, she married her abuser in a traditional Islamic wedding ceremony. Far from stepping in to stop it, her social worker was a guest. The author of Authorities then arranged for her to be fostered by her abusers' parents. The ringleader of the Rochdale rape gang, Shabir Ahmed, was employed as a welfare rights officer by Oldham Council.

And yet not one person, not one, has been convicted for covering up these institutionalised rapes. So why have ministers refused to establish a dedicated unit in the National Crime Agency to investigate councillors and officials accused of collusion and corruption? And I am sorry to say that that unit, Mr Speaker, must also investigate police officers. In one case, the father of an abuse victim in Rotherham was arrested by South Yorkshire Police when he attempted to rescue his daughter from her abusers. He was detained twice in one night while, on the very same evening his daughter was repeatedly assaulted and abused by a gang of men. It is clear these criminals were unafraid of law enforcement.

In Kirkley's, Judge Marston said, you were seen with your victim. on at least three occasions by the police, none of that deterred you and you continued to rape her. How, without a national inquiry, can we know how and why these monsters enjoyed effective immunity for so long, and how can we be sure it will not happen again? We on this side of the House have voted for a national inquiry and tabled amendments which would guarantee the publication of ethnicity data on a quarterly basis, terminate the parental rights of convicted sex offenders and make membership of agreement gang and aggravating factor during sentencing so the defenders get the longer, harsher sentences they deserve.

Will the Minister commit today to adopting these amendments to protect our children? Finally, I would like to read to the House one particular ordeal, just one example of what these children have suffered. I must warn colleagues, and especially those in the gallery, that this is extremely graphic, but we must not look away or sanitise this evil. sentencing Mohammed Karar of Oxford to life in prison Judge Peter Rook said You prepared your victim A 13-year-old girl

For gang anal rape by using a pump To expand her anal passage You subjected her to gang rape By five or six men At one point she had four men inside her A red ball was placed in her mouth To keep her quiet When she was 12

after raping her, she threatened you with your lock knife. Your reaction was to pick up a baseball bat with a silver metal handle, strike her on the head with it, and then insert it inside her vagina. This is not about me. It is not about the Minister or the Home Secretary or any of us in this Chamber. It is about them. Little girls up and down our country whose brutal and repeated rapes were permitted and hidden by those in the British state whose job was to protect them. They deserve justice. In five towns, these children and their families may get partial answers. But I have mentioned five towns in the last few minutes alone, and there are at least 45 more. In those places, they will get no answers at all. What does the minister have to say to them?

the British people deserve to know the truth what darker truths does the suffering of these girls reveal about this country and why won't the government find out wow that was a hard watch but it's so important to know these stories because it just feels like England in Great Britain they're just like a few years ahead of us if we don't heed their warning with stories like this oh I was just in London last week and it's almost unrecognizable when you see how many people are just walking around

around in full burqas, women in hijabs, and the city of London, it's like, where are the British people? And it makes me sad and honestly angry hearing these stories, because similarly to America, it seems like that part of their government cares more about these immigrants who are practicing Sharia law, which really has no place in the UK, similarly to the United States, where you have people in our government prioritizing illegal immigrants who are doing the same thing, having gangs, raping our women and children in America. Is it happening at this volume and this graphic? Maybe, maybe not in America.

There's probably a lot of cases that we don't know. But you see these third world immigrants coming to America and flooding all over Europe, destroying these cities and these countries that used to have such rich, beautiful European history. And it's a direct result of what happens when you have weak governments and weak people that aren't actually doing anything to protect the borders. And I always say, like, immigration without assimilation is just an invasion. Like, and all of these people that are going to these different countries, they don't care what your laws are. They follow Sharia law. They follow the Quran. And they don't care what anyone else around them thinks are not scared of the government. And that's something that's really scary and

really shouldn't have a place or a home in any of these countries. What's really frustrating to me, obviously, this is heartbreaking. You'll see the rest of the interview. I'd like have a hard time keeping it together because it's just it's so demonic it really is it was so frustrating it just makes me so angry is that because of the rot of cancel culture you have an entire system the social worker who was at the wedding it's like you have to accept it like the police officers who don't say anything because they're afraid of being called a racist or something like it's so disrespecting their culture or religion and I think that's like totally BS right it's just so it makes me so angry so angry. And I know we talk a lot about like our conservative values are Christian or just like religious values are under attack. But then also it's like this is very one-sided because like their religious values are allowed to just be dismissed. It's like, oh, that's just like the way it is. That's just the way it is. And I mean, it's not just in England. Like you said that there's just so much spiritual warfare going on here in American soil. We were talking about this before. There's been increased violence against ICE this week and a lot of anti-eas. And

for protesters who are just as, like, hateful and have as much vitriol in their heart are, like, really cheering on these attacks and, like, creating that rhetoric bubble. And actually, you did a great straight to Cam for us about this, a great video. So if you haven't seen it yet, go check out on our social media. Morgan explains this in depth. And just all this increased violent rhetoric against people who are trying to safeguard us from evil. Alien invasions, basically, an evil like this. And you would still think that the left is being persecuted by. the way that they're complaining about like oh ice and like ice is attacking our communities and all this stuff and it's like well no they're actually keeping us safe but one of ice's biggest ops one of

their biggest opponents is bad bunny and we have to delve really quickly into pop culture this week because I'd be remiss if we didn't talk about bad bunny being picked as the NFL Super Bowl performer this year crazy very anti-ice he doesn't even perform in the US because he was like ice could be outside of my concerts. And he's saying this because he is from Puerto Rico. He is a Latin American rapper and singer. And he only has songs in Spanish. It's honestly, like, I've bumped a bad bunny at the club before, you know.

It's, like, pretty fun. But his, the choice of having him at the Super Bowl, it's a political choice and it's not lost on me because he's very anti-ice, especially in this time. And if I could have picked anyone else, they could have offered this spot to anyone else, but they picked him. I've been really off on my hot takes on this. like the Super Bowl in general because I feel like not that long ago my hot take was that Taylor Swift was going to be the well that's what it was rumored that Taylor was going to be announced as the Super Bowl halftime performer she's coming out with her album this week so I'm very excited to listen to that or I guess by the time this comes out it'll already be out but when it comes to bad bunny I feel like there's nothing more anti-American than having like someone like him perform especially when everyone watches the Super Bowl half time show like whether you love for you.

football or not, the halftime show, it's always like everyone's eyes are on it. Even last year, it was super political with Kendrick Lamar. But I mean, some of the best performances have come out of the Super Bowl and then it's just like a total letdown with Bad Bunny and it really is just a slap in the face to Americana culture. That's what football's all about. And you've seen this time and time again because actually I'm going to land the plane with this. It connects to Jayzee. But, and yeah, okay, first off, I do understand Bad Bunny's Puerto Rican. He's an American. But he is so anti-American we've seen in his music videos like him at the top of the Statue of Liberty, putting down the Puerto Rican flag and making fun of Trump and basically just having this

like leftist fantasy voicemail that Trump is leaving Bad Bunny being like, I apologize to all immigrants. I was so mean to you guys and I was like, okay, like that's enough. But it connects to Jay-Z because ever since 2019, Jay-Z and his entertainment company, Rock Nation, have been co-producers of the halftime show and they have gotten final say of who, performs. And ever since he's taken over, it's been Usher, the weekend, the hip-hop power group, J-Lo, Shakira, Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, and now Bad Bunny. Notice how these are all pretty popular performers, but no one who's as big or as culturally relevant as like Taylor Swift or maybe like no white people. No white people.

I have seen a lot of times, I'm sure. Yeah, I've seen a lot of talk on social. I've seen a lot of talk on social media like Jack Posobic saying should turning point host like an alternate halftime show and stream it during, I'm like yes. Yeah, they want to have Creed, which I tune in. I'd watch Creed perform as they, you know,

back smack to the Super Bowl. Why not? Yeah, and especially seeing how many people really showed out for Charlie Kirk's memorial, I think they could pull it off. Like I, before I'd be like, oh, well, it's conservative commentator starting point USA. Like, they're important to us, but I don't know if it's important to the world. But now I'm like, you know what?

It is. People might actually just want to see Creed perform and not Bad Bunny. I would tune into that. Sounds more American than Bad Bunny is. I mean, I'm with you, though. I really wish Taylor Swift was performing at the halftime show, especially considering her new album came out. And I'm going to save us for next episode, the little review on it. But I don't know. Like, there's still part of me that's like maybe this whole Bad Bunny thing is like blowing up the press to get more eyeballs on the NFL, PR stunt, which is like losing viewership all the time. And so maybe they're just trying to get everyone all riled up about the NFL and the Super Bowl halftime show so that eventually they can come around and be like, well, we compromise and we're choosing Taylor.

Oh, imagine the left if that happened. They were like, this is so racist. Like, they're going to be like, they're replacing this Hispanic art. Yeah. I don't think Taylor would allow, be, like, allow herself to be second choice, to be honest. It would need to be like a whole thing for herself. And like, I mean, Taylor's got her own political problems, but I do think objectively that would be a better performance in more pro-Americanana than Bad Bunny. And I think if the NFL really wanted to boost their viewership, I think they should maybe just cut the woke commercials and just like promote football and the American dream.

And no more, no more Pfizer commercials, Travis Kelsey. I don't know if that was during the Super Bowl or something else, but we just don't need to see that in general.
