Starting point is 00:00:00 On today's podcast, all the reaction from last night's debate. Kamala having the unmitigated gall to say on the eve of 9-11, more lies about January 6th, Charlottesville, that Trump gave us COVID. All the crazy stuff all in the first hour of today's podcast. Then Megan Kelly has some experience moderating debates. Was it really moderated? or is this state-run media? Julio Rosas is also in Springfield, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:00:36 He's from the Blaze Media, and he's on the scene. What is it actually like there? Are pets being eaten? Well, they're cats, so I mean, you can eat cats.

Good Ranchers.com American Meat delivered. You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck privileged, angry, just in disbelief at what our industry has become. It was state-run media.
Starting point is 00:02:37 I mean, for her to go in and say so many. lies. She, that proves this is state-run media. She knew she could get away with saying lie after, lie after, lie after lie. I've never seen anything like it. And no corrections. I could have lived with that. Politicians lie all the time. But the one-sided, quote, fact checking was so outrageous. I would have been fine if they had done what CNN did, which is just be quiet. Dana Bash and Jake Tapper did not try to fact-check the candidates. They let them do that to each other, which is totally appropriate at a presidential
Starting point is 00:03:25 debate. It's actually the way it should be. It's not our job. It's at the record straight. The only time you should weigh in as the moderator is that the integrity of your question is attacked, right? Like they're attacking the underlying foundation for what you're asking. As for the answer, that's for the other candidate to do.
Starting point is 00:03:41 and these ABC News moderators didn't understand that or they just didn't care. CNN actually got hammered by the left for doing that. The left wanted them to get out there and criticize Donald Trump and say, oh, no, you said this and that's wrong and so on. And ABC News clearly watched that and said, oh, well, that can't be us. We've got to pander to our base. And so they only fact-checked him. Their fact checks were incorrect and or were opinion.
Starting point is 00:04:11 and then you had the assist by the rest in the media and back to CNN in this absolute Creighton named Daniel Dale, whose fact check after the fact was that Trump lied 33 times and she lied once. What's what we're up against? Yes. What was the one he picked? Was it like a lottery? You put all the lies into a little basket and you twirl it around, mix them up? B-17.
Starting point is 00:04:41 What was the lie? He didn't make that clear, but I'm going to guess because on Twitter, he called her out for trying to claim that she had reversed her personal stance on fracking in 2020. You know, she wanted to ban it. And then in 2020, she's been claiming she said she didn't want to ban it, which isn't true in 2020 at the VP debate. She said Joe Biden will not ban it. She has never reversed her stance on it. But nothing about the Charlottesville both sides lies about the bloodbats. About the 2025 nonsense about saying Trump is against IVF, nothing. No, that's fine.
Starting point is 00:05:20 So, Megan, what she had to do last night was assure people that hadn't seen her act presidential to appear to be strong, tough, and presidential. did she do that for enough people? Well, you added that phrase at the end, which makes me say no for enough people. I don't think there was a game changer last night. I agree. I agree. I will say she won the debate. But here's what I saw.
Starting point is 00:05:55 I saw somebody who engaged in nothing but personal ad hominin attacks against Donald Trump throughout. I mean, at every chance she could, she went low, insulted him personally. and on that, he actually didn't take the date. He took the bait on every other thing. They were on the subject of immigration, and suddenly we're off talking about rally size, and he went there. Okay, so, but on the personal attacks, he didn't.
Starting point is 00:06:21 I saw somebody who couldn't control herself emotionally. She was on screen right, harrumping, rolling her eyes, hand up on the chin, like, oh, aren't you so interesting? I've never seen anybody actually put their hand up on the chin, and rest their elbow on their other hand. I mean, it was... And let me tell you something. Let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:06:42 This country hasn't elected a female president in 250 years. The person who's going to be, number one, is not going to be an emotionally unregulated, harrumping, sighing, hysteric. And that's how she appeared in the split screen for the first half an hour of the debate. She got it under control later. I cannot believe that the people sitting at home, and don't forget this election is coming down at the margins to men versus women. Men are for Trump and women are for Kamala, that these men sitting at home are going to say, I'm going to vote for her. I can sit at home on election day and let her win.
Starting point is 00:07:24 I just think they're going to be motivated by how extreme she is, yes, on policy, which Trump failed to point out last thing, But her behavior, she is not a strong leader. She is the opposite of a Margaret Thatcher. And I think her schoolgirl attacks on him personally, you know, trying to undermine the dignity of this man who served as president and was almost assassinated a month or two ago. And her eye rolling and so on, which telegraphs, I can't control myself for a real turnoff. Let me ask you, I was personally offended. and I can't imagine that the American people weren't. When he was talking about how people are suffering
Starting point is 00:08:10 and you can't afford the groceries at the grocery store, when she laughed and rolled her eyes at that, I saw that and I'm like, oh my gosh, you're in such denial that that is happening, or you just don't care. Do you think that? Did that play on you? Yeah, there was that moment. She laughed, and she laughed when he was raising what's happening in Springfield, Ohio.
Starting point is 00:08:41 She openly laughed. Yeah. As these poor people, you can accept the pets testimonials or not. They have not, in fact, been debunked. You have one city manager who says he can't prove any of that. He hasn't found the proof of it. That does not mean it didn't happen. another totally inappropriate, quote, fact check by David Muir.
Starting point is 00:09:03 What we have here is that he said, she said situation. It is not for the moderator to try to fix it. But she laughed at it. She rolled her eyes. And what is she laughing at? Immigration. What's happening in our cities because of the minimum. This is what's been documented.
Starting point is 00:09:19 10.4 million illegals who have come under her watch. 2.3 million under Trump's four years. 10.4 minimum, not counting Godaways under hers. And when the question is raised, look at what's happening to American cities because of it. She laughed. You know who's not laughing? The family of Lake and Riley, the family of that 12-year-old little girl who was murdered by illegal down at the southern border who Trump went down and spent time with. That's the kind of stuff Trump needed to raise and didn't. But at a minimum, his team now today needs to be showing Kacklin Kamala. back at it on the two worst issues for her, the economy and immigration.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Can you run for president? You'd make a really good president. You'd would. You'd make a really good president. Thank you. I'm too happy a person for that. So you agree that Trump, she came out immediately, said, let's do another one. I think he should say, sure, let's do five. Yeah, oh, that would be amazing. And you know what they should say? I'll do it, and I'll pick one moderator and you pick the other. Why don't they do that? Don't give it to, if Trump agrees to go on another mainstream, and that's a fake term, that is just a BS. What is mainstream about these people? I think we should start calling them state media.
Starting point is 00:10:55 It's state media now. I mean, truly, just as one example, but like, how many questions do we have on 2020 election denialism and so on? And how many questions do we have about what's being done in young girls in this country and about, you know, the cutting off body parts of kids who are just confused because their parents got a divorce? Not one. They don't care.
Starting point is 00:11:14 They're in favor of that. That's not mainstream. So in any event, if he agrees to go back on the air and do a debate with another state-run media company, NBC, CBS, CBS. obviously ABC's out and they'll be out forever. No Republican should ever agree to go back on them. Ever. MSNBC.
Starting point is 00:11:32 Then he deserves what he gets. He deserves what he gets. It should be if they do anything in this point forward, either there's no moderator. They go mono a mono or he picks one and she picks one. But he has got to expose her because nobody else will and she will crumble eventually. I mean, she just, she's arrogant now. she came in after five days of memorizing all of these lies, really well prepared. That's what was so frustrating, Glenn.
Starting point is 00:12:03 You could see it, couldn't you? Oh, yeah. She was like an automaton. She had been given her lines. And we heard this before the DNC. Mark Halperin reported that she'd been getting help from, he did it in sort of tongue and cheek, so you had to read between the lines. But it was CIA and Brian Lord, who's one of the heads of CIA, the most powerful
Starting point is 00:12:23 agency or one of them in a talent agency in the country and that they were bringing in top Hollywood actors and actresses to coach her on delivery. That's what it takes to make her failable to the American people. But I really believe that the people sitting watch that and there's just no way they looked at her and thought, yeah, this is a genuine person who cares about me. She barely talked about them. Her whole to convince us, and by the way, same plan for the moderators, how terrible Trump is. Yes. It was not, other than her first answer where she tried to say, oh, I'm middle class, and I understand your problem.
Starting point is 00:13:11 It was not about them or the economy. One last thing. When she was calling him weak, and remember, she said, you're going to hear nothing but name calling tonight. Well, yes, from her. But when she kept saying over and over again, you know, you're weak, you're weak, you're weak. She was just trying to get under his skin the entire time. And I have to tell you, I don't know if I could have been as restrained as he was last night. I know. 90 minutes of lies.
Starting point is 00:13:46 I don't think I could have contained myself. I would have lost. I agree. I agree. I mean, my blood was boiling. His blood had to be boiling. Obviously, this was her plan. But the number of.
Starting point is 00:13:59 of personal emasculating attack. Yes. She launched on him. If he had done anything like that to her, he'd be getting lectured all day about his misogyny. Yes. But she got away with it entirely. And all I could think of when I looked at Trump was this is like a soldier in a foxhole
Starting point is 00:14:22 surrounded by enemy fire trying to return fire, you know, one by one by one. But the hits on him were uniform. It was a pile on, and it was nonstop. And when I looked at the way ABC handled it, 100% as effective and strong a competitor to him as she was, all I could think was ambush. This is an ambush. They laid a trap for him by assuring him they could be fair. He fell for it.
Starting point is 00:14:55 He walked in there. And all they did was ask him horrible questions. for him. If he didn't answer it, you know, if he tried to bridge or he went with his own messaging, on him, they would follow up. The question was this. The question was this. On her, they never did that. And then they would try to fact check him. And nine times out of ten, their fact check was incorrect. And they never once fact checked her. And all of the topic selection was left-wing anti-Trump. I mean, every single question they asked, maybe two. It was. It was. It was. normal. So he was like the soldier who was ambushed. And now I do have a belief. I know it's
Starting point is 00:15:36 contrarian, but I really have a belief that the average American at home who watch that gets it on a visceral level. And I just don't expect any sort of big bounce for her.

Welcome to the Glenn Beck program. So let me tell you my opinion on what happened last night and where you can find the truth and hope.
Starting point is 00:18:16 You know, as I'm watching that last night, I want to talk to you about two things. Her plan and her approach. So as I'm watching last night, she had absolutely no substance. She wasn't really asked about her plan. we found out yesterday that her plan on her website is literally Joe Biden's plan. They copied and paste over to her website. And when you clicked on it yesterday, it still took you to Joe Biden's page. So there is no plan, no substance.
Starting point is 00:18:50 And I thought she's not saying anything concrete. Things like, I'm going to make an opportunity economy. What does that mean? What does that even mean? and I'm wondering, when is she going to tell us what America is going to be like? When is she going to reveal who she really is? And then it hit me. She's doing the same thing that all of us did when we were kids.
Starting point is 00:19:14 When we were kids, when we would get into trouble, we'd say it was somebody else, right? If I left a huge mess in my room or, you know, in the kitchen, I would say, it's my sister's fault. Yeah, really? they didn't clean it up. Where were you? If I was caught lying, I would say, no, no, no, I'm not the one who said that. It was, you know, my sister or my friend or whoever. Wherever you got in trouble, your instinct was blame it on them. Because you were a kid.
Starting point is 00:19:47 I would say what I was doing by blaming someone else. And as I was thinking, and I heard Kamala say, world leaders are laughing at Donald Trump. I've talked to military leaders. They say you're a disgrace, President Trump. Huh. That's when I realized, oh my gosh, everything she is saying about Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:20:16 is what she's going to be. I always say what they're telling you who they are by accusing you of whatever, that's who they are. This is what did Democrats do all the time? They project everything onto the other guy, onto the other party. And Kamala is, I don't know if she's the worst at it or maybe she's the best. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:20:43 But she's not even hiding what she's doing anymore. Democrats realize they can't hide what they're doing anymore, that we're on to them. They don't even pretend to try. last night, lie after lie after lie after lie. And they are, if you spent, if you watched it and then spent a few minutes on the internet, you could debunk with their audio or his audio at the actual event. You could debunk all of those things. They point out, you know, how bad everything that's happening, it's really bad.
Starting point is 00:21:18 And it's happening because of the Republicans. It's happening because of Donald Trump. if you want to know Kamala's platform, watch the debate, listen, and when she talks about Trump, realize she's projecting. She says he's a weak leader. That's not what dictators think. That's not what world leaders think. How can you call him an autocratic dictator and weak?
Starting point is 00:21:44 It's not possible. She's the weak leader. She says his economic plans will make everything more expensive in America. America. But her plans will. I mean, and even Democrat economists are saying that. She says he'll be a poor commander in chief. She says he'll cause wars. She says he'll make health care less affordable. She accuses Trump of not caring about women when the Democrats have waged an all-out war on women. then she says he wants to defund the police. What?
Starting point is 00:22:25 That's really where it's just cemented in my head last night. I'm like, ha, wait a minute. That he's threatened to terminate the Constitution, that Trump will weaponize the Department of Justice. These are all things she said last night. Now, who does that sound like to you? projection is defined as, quote, the ego defending itself against highly negative parts of the self by denying their existence in themselves and attributing it to, attributing them to others,
Starting point is 00:23:02 breeding a misunderstanding. Projection incorporates blame shifting. So she's projecting. but here's the projection. Here's the projection. I think it's more sinister than just seeing the world through your own viewpoint. Kamala is using projection not only as a defense mechanism, but also as a tool. She's using it as a weapon of offense. accuse your enemy of what you're doing as you're doing it to create confusion.
Starting point is 00:23:38 You know who said that? Her dad would know. Carl Marx. Accus your enemy of what you're doing as you're doing it to create confusion. Carl Marx. If you want to know Kamala's positions, what they really are, if you want to understand what you'll really do to America, all you have to do is look at what she accuses Donald Trump of. Look at the America she projects under Donald Trump.
Starting point is 00:24:07 And you will have a very clear vision of what America will be. be like under a Harris administration. So that's how we can tell what her policies are going to be. That's how we can tell what America will look like after she becomes president, God forbid. But there's something else. Why is she denying everything that she was? Why is she having to play this tactic where she wasn't talking about her vision?
Starting point is 00:24:41 she was talking about how bad Donald Trump is. She tapped into something that is definitely happening in America today. She is saying, per the debate, what Americans want to hear. We want to turn the page this old crap, blah, blah, blah. Not in substance, but talking into the positive nature of who Americans want to be at their core and who Americans are at their core. We are positive. We just want an end to all of this stuff.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Kamala has moved her policy position because I believe their internal polling shows that's what people want. 180 degrees in the opposite direction of where she actually is. That's what Americans want. So they're giving it to them. Americans want to stand on their own foundation. They want to stand on their own foundation. They want to be helpful and they want help from time to time,
Starting point is 00:25:56 but they don't need somebody to treat them like a child. Americans want everybody treated fairly. Americans want a border protected. All Americans do. Americans want economic independence. Americans believe in justice and mercy. Americans believe in the pursuit of happiness, aspirations, hopes, the American dream. Americans believe there is more that unites us than divides us.
Starting point is 00:26:30 Americans want to stand on their own foundation without having to rely on foreign countries for energy. What was amazing last night is when she came out and she said, we're just trying to get to a place to where we're not so reliant on foreign countries. oil. We weren't reliant on foreign oil. For the first time in my lifetime, we weren't dependent on foreign oil. You shut that down. But Americans, that we want our own foundation, we want to be able to manufacture our own things, energy, medicine, technology. Americans believe there is such a thing as American values, hard work, honesty, loving your neighbor. Americans know that owning your own home, your own land, connects you to your community, connects you to earth and life.
Starting point is 00:27:24 It gives you a sense of belonging and a sense of power of responsibility. Americans know that protecting, caring for, and lifting up those in need is vital. It's vital. and they know that this is a job best accomplished, not by the government, but by we the people. The government may have to come in and take care of things that are just too large, but generally speaking, we need to do that. Americans have and will continue to support and defend Israel and the Jewish communities around the world. She is anti-Israel, but she's not saying that.
Starting point is 00:28:08 Americans know that rights are given by God. She believes they're from the government, but she's not saying that. That freedom of thought and speech is foundational to a free society. That protecting the integrity of the vote is vital. If we're to have faith in our government and its leaders, we must have faith in the vote. But they won't give you any faith in the vote. they say that questioning the vote is destroying America, but they've done it every time they've lost since the year 2000.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Why is it suddenly wrong this time? You know, I was in Salt Lake City with Tucker Carlson, and we had a sold-out show, I don't know, about 12,000 people, and it was a very hopeful night, very hopeful. I felt it. I had hope. I had hope all day leading up to it. I thought this is something.
Starting point is 00:29:09 Something's going to happen here in somebody, maybe not even on the stage, but something good is going to come from this. I had hope because I had felt the goodness in people. Democrats, they know America is good as well, not necessarily those in Washington. I don't know how any of them feel hopeful while. working in Washington. It's a nasty nest of snakes. But people who are out in the regular world in the country, they feel it as well. There is goodness out there. And the Democrats know it from the polling. Notice that during the RNC, we were joyful. We were joyful. We were joyful because he survived an assassination attempt.
Starting point is 00:30:09 And the whole thing had a different tone to it. But it was spontaneous. It was real. And after we felt all of that in ours, they felt it and then they packaged it. Well, you know one thing that I feel from here that's joy. It is absolute joy. Doesn't it feel joyful, Bob? Sure does, Sally, feels joyful here.
Starting point is 00:30:31 we had the authentic thing, they packaged it. Same thing she's doing now. They know authenticity is really important. They know they're out of step, so they'll package it. Now the all-new Kamala Harris. She prepared herself for this debate to stand up and try to grab hold of that goodness. If you watched it last night while she laughed and cackled at people's suffering in America on food prices, when she put her one arm out across her chest so she could rest her elbow in her hand and put her chin in her hand like,
Starting point is 00:31:24 hmm, I'm thinking like a professor. You know all of this was staged. It was fake. But the good thing is, the goodness in America doesn't belong to Kamala Harris. Doesn't. She is not the face of
Starting point is 00:31:41 American principles. She is, she's not the face of your American principles or my American principles. Send that message directly to your Democratic neighbors. RFK, Alan Dershowitz, Tulsi Gabbur,
Starting point is 00:31:57 Lifetime Democrats. they each tried to remain Democrat. They each wanted to remind the Democrats who they really are, show them who they've become. They tried to change it from the inside. They were befriended. They were put on terrorist watch list. They were smeared.
Starting point is 00:32:16 They were destroyed. They gave up. Those aren't isolated instances. There are Democrats that know it. And goodness doesn't belong to Donald Trump. doesn't belong to anybody. It belongs to all of us. It belongs to you.
Starting point is 00:32:37 Make America great again. Really just means make America good again. And I have news for you. Americans are still good. You are that goodness. No one owns that righteousness that is inside of each of us. But that righteousness, you have an alarm bell that goes on. off. You know when it's fake.
Starting point is 00:33:05 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck podcast. Julio now is in Springfield, Ohio, talking about the Haitian influx to see what's really going on. He's our national correspondent, Ulyoros. Welcome. Yeah, Glenn, thanks for having me. You bet. You got there yesterday? I got in late Monday night, yes. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:31 So what have you found on the ducks and the geese and everything else? Well, I can tell you that it is an issue that has been raised to the city for months, months before this got brought to the national attention last week into this week. I can't speak to how widespread it is, but it's been enough of a problem that people have been saying, hey, you know, like we've been seeing this. I've heard about this. Can the city look into it?
Starting point is 00:34:06 And from my understanding is, not just with the duck issue, you know, the pet issue, but overall any issue that residents have been raising over the, you know, 20,000 Haitians being put into their city, a lot of the residents feel that the city commission is just not listening to their problems or they're unwilling to do anything about it because because there is a lot of money being involved in the decisions because, you know, they're these, these nations, they have jobs. I mean, and so that's why that they're able to be here legally and they have protective status. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, they have jobs? Yes.
Starting point is 00:34:51 How did they do job placement for 15,000 or 20,000 Haitians? It's through a temp agency called First Diversity. It's based here in Springfield, and that's one of the tension points within the American citizens here is that everything seems to be revolved around accommodating the Haitians first and the American citizens second. And that's why they're so upset at the city commission because the city commission appears that they want to make Springfield seem as accommodating as possible to the Haitian population, which includes not towing cars of unlicensed drivers. Surrounding communities are having to do that because, you know, admittedly, they're not very great drivers and it's caused, you know, some people have been killed. There have been accidents on the road. but Springfield in the past has just not been willing to tow their cars whenever there's been an accident or whether they've been caught driving recklessly.
Starting point is 00:35:56 And so that's one of the reasons why people no longer drive into Springfield the shop. I was in Tremont City, which is just five minutes to the north. They no longer go to the Kroger or the Walmart in Springfield. They go to the cities up north to do the shopping because they say even being on the road is too dangerous. I got to believe that a town that small. I mean, Kamala last night said it was a mid-sized town. No, it's not. That's 50,000 people is a small town in America.
Starting point is 00:36:27 And I got to believe you put 20,000 immigrants from anywhere that are not, you know, looking to blend in and be part of society. I got to believe that has totally changed the culture. And if I were a resident, I'd be pissed. Who is the federal government to do this to my town? Is that the feeling you're getting from people? Yes.
Starting point is 00:36:54 I was at the city committee. So while most people were getting ready for the debate last night, I was at the city commission meeting that they have. And a few people spoke during the public comments portion where one woman, she's 58, she's elderly. She lives on the south side of town, and the south side of town is where most of the Haitians have been, put and are living at now. And she says she doesn't even leave her house anymore without her gun
Starting point is 00:37:21 and her 120 pound pit bull because she has been followed. She has been groped by Haitians. She's been accosted verbally. And she said, I'm very worried about the women of this town because they're very aggressive towards women. And it's and you know, that was just one person. But there's there's, There's a lot of, you know, outside, you know, yes, the pet issue is one thing. But even on the housing alone, what's been happening is that landlords have, you know, you say you have a family of four, they don't, the landlords don't renew their lease with them. And then they replace them with up to 15 Haitians. They're not even renting, they're not even renting the house.
Starting point is 00:38:04 They're renting bets. They're charging them. I've been told $200. Oh, my gosh. a week for just the bed. And it was explaining me that the bed never gets cold because there's just a constant rotation of people that use it for those eight hours. Then they go to work and then they come back and it just starts all over again.
Starting point is 00:38:22 So you put, you know, six, you know, you put, you know, two sets of bunk beds in a room. That's six people, right? That's the way it works in China. Yeah. Yeah. And so the landlords are getting a lot more money from this. And the city isn't enforcing the fire codes. So because that's a fire hazard.
Starting point is 00:38:44 When you have that many people crammed into one, you know, a two bedroom, one bedroom place. But you have 15 people inside. That's a fire hazard. But the city has refused to enforce the codes. Again, is try to accommodate the Haitians as much as possible. And American citizens who haven't been able to afford to leave, they've ended up homeless. that there's there's encampments that have sprung up around springfield it's not because of just homeless people as like los angeles that are drugged out it's they can't afford anything else and
Starting point is 00:39:17 that's their only option i have to tell you uh if this were happening in my city and uh somebody came to enforce some sort of ordinance uh you know i was building a house and they were like you got to get a permit for this because we have to know for fire safety. I tell him go to hell. When you decide to have everybody go along with your rules, then you can come see me. I mean, this is, this is a national nuclear bomb that is about to go off. People are not going to tolerate this. You know, I heard a guy yesterday.
Starting point is 00:40:04 He was a vet. And he said, he was in Chicago. And he said, what is happening here? We have vets on the street. I'm barely making it. We have homeless people. You're doing more for these illegals than you're doing for us. And then he said, the key words.
Starting point is 00:40:26 He said, you need to do that for us as well. Well, that's universal everything. And they're pushing us into this. This is that you cannot push these cities to the brink like this. This is clowered in Piven. And the result will be communism if Kamala has her way. This is extraordinarily dangerous. What can be done to help Springfield, Julio?
Starting point is 00:40:55 Well, that's interesting because, again, during the public comment section of the meeting last night, I would actually say more people spoke in favor of just saying, well, the Haitians are here. There's nothing we can do about it. We just need to work through it as opposed to saying we need to stop accepting nations. And so it's got to be kidding me. It kind of appears that at least, you know, from, you know, there's a sizable amount of people who have just resigned themselves to to this new reality. and it doesn't seem like and you know
Starting point is 00:41:31 obviously that's just one snapshot of the community but I also I also think that people are afraid of speaking out on the issue because because of the national attention and just because of the
Starting point is 00:41:44 environment that we're in they're afraid they're going to be called racist they're afraid they're going to be called bigoted and all the stuff and you know it's a small town right so everyone knows everybody and so I think that I think that's part of the issue but But that in and of itself is a big problem because if you're not going to speak out about it,
Starting point is 00:42:02 then a lot of voices are going to get their way. So in terms of what could be done for Springfield, I mean, nothing's going to change. Nothing's going to change if Harris takes back the White House. And it's not going to be just Springfield. It's going to be multiple. Yeah, it's going to be cities across the country. And so I think it's significant that when I started my reporting on the border crisis, it was always on the border.
Starting point is 00:42:28 And, you know, now we're nearing the end of the Biden-Harris term, first term, and I'm having to do immigration stories in America hardwams. Every town is a border town. We've said saying that for years now. And at first, it sounded a little corny. It sounded very, you know, it did sound very political. But, but, but it is, it is, it is 100% true. And it's not just Chicago. It's not just New York City.
Starting point is 00:42:51 It's not just, you know, Denver. It's, it is any, any town. can face this within the next couple of years. Julio, we'll talk to you again, maybe tomorrow. Thank you so much for the update. Appreciate it. Thank you. Julio Rosa, he's the Blaze Media National correspondent.
Starting point is 00:43:09 Now, let me say something. You're not going to fix this. Nothing will change if you just acquiesce. If you just go along with it, well, there's nothing I can do. do you see that they're testing you again? This is like COVID. Wear a mask. Six feet apart.
Starting point is 00:43:32 Stay in your house. No kids going to school. They know what they could get away with on that. Now what are they doing? They're taking jobs and giving them to illegals without taking care of our own people first. And you're just resigned to that? Nothing will change. in this country. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:43:58 I believe Donald Trump was saved by the Lord. I believe that was a miracle that he turned his head. When you see the picture of the bullet as he's turning his head, that's a miracle. It's a miracle that that guy got up. It's a miracle that that guy got up and said, stand your ground. Fight. It's a miracle that that guy goes on stage every day. He's actually in the fight, and we're going to say, I don't want to be called racist. That word has no meaning anymore.
Starting point is 00:44:37 No meaning. No words have meanings. If I may quote, my mother sticks in stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you. You've got to stand up. If you don't, you will get what you deserve. You will first become part of the problem, and then you will be part and parcel with the wrong side. You know what's right. You must stand up.
