Episode Transcript
[00:00:00] Foreign of we the People tackling current issues, both political and legal, with common sense.
[00:00:12] As we the People, we must bring common sense back to make our lives better.
[00:00:17] Only on NOW Media tv.
[00:00:22] Welcome to we the People, the show where principle meets perspective.
[00:00:28] Truth still matters. I'm your host, Alina Gonzalez Dacre. And every week we take a clear eyed look at the stories shaping our nation. Not through the lens of outrage, but through the lens of reason, rights and responsibility.
[00:00:45] Because here we just don't talk about the headlines, we talk about what they mean for our freedoms, our families and our future.
[00:00:55] We're going to begin this episode with a moment of prayer.
[00:01:03] Before we dive into the details of today's first story, I want to take a moment from all of us here at we the People studios to say our hearts are with Texas.
[00:01:15] To the families who are mourning the loss of loved ones, to the parent grieving children whose lives were just beginning, to those little girls innocence swept away far too soon.
[00:01:29] We see you, we grieve with you and we send our deepest prayers for your healing.
[00:01:36] This wasn't just a disaster. It was a shock.
[00:01:41] Sudden, devastating and unrelenting.
[00:01:46] For many of us watching from Florida and the Gulf coast, it hits painfully close to home.
[00:01:53] We know what it means to see water wash rushing into our neighborhoods. We know what it's like to wait for updates, to check for names, to pray that yours isn't on the list.
[00:02:05] From Hurricane Ian, Helene to Milton, our communities have known the fear and the long road to recovery.
[00:02:14] And we also know what it means to have to pick up the pieces when the media moves on, when the world stops watching. But the grief is just beginning.
[00:02:25] To our brothers and sisters in Texas, you are not forgotten.
[00:02:30] And on this show, in this space, we choose to rush past our our pain.
[00:02:38] We choose not to put rush past your pain.
[00:02:42] We sit with it. We honor it. We honor you all who have lost so much and we advocate for something better.
[00:02:55] And yet this is not a time to politicize tragedy in the middle of so much suffering.
[00:03:03] There are voices online and even from so called professionals who are using this moment to score cheap political points.
[00:03:13] I've seen the posts. Maybe you have to comments like this is what white people get for voting for Trump or red states brought this on themselves. This is not an FA fo circumstances.
[00:03:29] This was a horrific natural disaster, one that has not occurred since in the 1980s.
[00:03:39] Let me be absolutely clear.
[00:03:41] This is not the time and this is never the way.
[00:03:47] The flood didn't ask who you voted for.
[00:03:50] The water didn't check party affiliation before it broke down your front doors.
[00:03:56] Disasters don't discriminate and neither should our compassion.
[00:04:02] To turn tragedy into a political weapon is not just unkind, it is inhumane.
[00:04:11] And to those who frame this as karma for voting a certain way, shame. Shame on you.
[00:04:19] No child deserves to drown because of how her parents voted.
[00:04:24] No grieving mother deserves to hear that her loss is justified because of her zip code or her skin color.
[00:04:31] That's not justice.
[00:04:33] That's cruelty masked as commentary.
[00:04:37] And it seems to be a sickness that's overriding many people, especially those that use social media to pontificate their point of view.
[00:04:51] This is not about race.
[00:04:54] This is not about political vengeance.
[00:04:57] This is about people, families, our fellow community members, Americans who are hurting.
[00:05:08] And if we lose our ability to grieve together, if we can't even mourn the loss of those blessed little souls, those little girls at camp, without throwing blame, then we're not just dealing with a flood.
[00:05:25] We're drowning in a much deeper moral crisis.
[00:05:31] So let me remind us all, tragedy is not a partisan issue.
[00:05:36] The same as it went with California's wildfires that destroyed the Palisade or the hurricanes and those poor people in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee or those on the Gulf coast of Florida.
[00:05:54] These are human tragedies.
[00:06:00] Let's choose dignity over division.
[00:06:03] Let's be the kind of country that shows up with prayers, with help and with heart, not hashtags and not hate.
[00:06:18] Now that doesn't mean that we should set aside the potential for improving systems or looking at whether the real cost of government neglect those that suffered harm through this Guadalupe river flash flood. And it is a flash flood. Let's make no bones about it. It's not something that you can plan for for days and days and days as sometimes like a hurricane.
[00:06:54] But these people have lost everything in a matter of minutes.
[00:06:59] Hums, memories, livelihoods, family members and lives washed away as floodwater surged through southeast Texas. And while we watch the dramatic rescues in rising waters, the real stories, the human stories, often get lost in the noise.
[00:07:18] I'm talking about people like 80 year old Doris Hightower, whose home and was washed away.
[00:07:27] She's not unlucky.
[00:07:30] She was some of those that may have been forgotten, ignored by a system that promises disaster relief but delivers red tape and excuses.
[00:07:38] That is something that we can look into.
[00:07:44] We can look into how federal grants to help prevent flooding $125 million plus are being utilized or in fact not being utilized and sitting due to red Tape, in a bureaucratic office's account, let that sink in while people are suffering and it is too soon. But when you look into whether federal grants have been utilized for the purpose that they were given and it's because they were stalled out and, and collecting dust, not because of resources, but because of just red tape, then yes, we need to look at how we can better a system.
[00:08:32] Many people are trying to make blame of the budget cuts to the national weather system and such, but yet those budget cuts have not taken effect.
[00:08:42] And from all reports of those in the offices, the weather meteorologists, everybody saying, yes, the offices were properly staffed. This was just one of those once in a 45 year event, tragic. But there still has to be studies done. There needs to be not just studies, but we actually, you know what, we are studied to death. And we don't need committees, we don't need commissions, we need action. There needs to be a bold leader to come forward and say, enough is enough. Let's cut through the red tripe. Let's get these, whether it's levees, if it's building up the land, whether it's something, it is time.
[00:09:26] And yes, I challenge Governor Camp because he is in a role to make a huge difference in looking at how this can be prevented in the future or at least minimize the damages and the loss of lives.
[00:09:48] And in looking at this, yes, it was a campground that many generations of young girls, now women, have been able to go.
[00:09:59] Former President George W. Bush's wife, First Lady Laura Bush, was a counselor at this very campground.
[00:10:10] What we see hearkens back and maybe it is also triggering to see, like the, the destruction and the devastation that occurred just last September in North Carolina and Tennessee.
[00:10:26] This isn't a race issue.
[00:10:29] This isn't, are they blue or are they red? These are our fellow Americans. These are fellow neighbors.
[00:10:38] We need to challenge the government to lead and step up. And there's some ready to do it again. This is not just a natural disaster, it's a moral one. And it raises a question I keep going back to. How can a nation that leads the world in innovation be so slow to act when its own citizens are drowning?
[00:11:09] Now, let me be clear. I'm not suggesting every flood is preventable. But what is preventable is the pattern of delay, mismanagement and finger pointing between federal and local agencies, between elected officials and now even neighbors and people who just like to blast their mouths on social media.
[00:11:31] We send billions abroad to defend democracy, but somehow protecting Americans at home, especially the vulnerable, gets tabled studied and buried in bureau bureaucratic red tape.
[00:11:44] Here's what worse, many of these families didn't qualify, will now look into whether they even qualify for FEMA aid.
[00:11:55] And now that they are struggling with not only the loss of life, but also their homes and everything it is, how are they going to pick up the pieces and how are they going to move on?
[00:12:07] Amidst the bright heartbreak, there's also an incredible resilience that we have been seeing between the volunteers, those first responders and military personnel helping not only to find survivors, but also to collect the bodies of those that have passed and washed away.
[00:12:29] Neighbors rescuing neighbors, churches opening the doors, volunteers showing up with food, dry clothing when the government may not be ready to assist monetarily. But I know one thing, they have had a fast response.
[00:12:47] But we still have to hold these officials accountable.
[00:12:51] We need to make sure that these people are not forgotten once the cameras stop rolling.
[00:12:58] Because we cannot have another North Carolina where people were sitting there when it was below freezing weather, still living in tents.
[00:13:09] This isn't just a Texas story. This is a national test of character. We are a country that, that turns, that doesn't turn its back on its own.
[00:13:21] We are bold enough to demand a system that works before the next storm heads.
[00:13:26] I know where I stand.
[00:13:29] I ask you to join me in standing with these victims of this amazing catastrophic event.
[00:13:40] We will return after this quick break. Tune right back in.
[00:13:49] We just heard the stories of loss and resilience from Texas, reminders that leadership at all levels profoundly affects lives.
[00:13:58] Now, as we look to Washington, there's a new chapter unfolding, a rare moment of bipartisan, whether it's slim or or so compromise, that's being called the Big Beautiful Bill, which just got signed over the holiday weekend by President Donald Trump.
[00:14:16] Let's make no mistake about it. This was a huge win for President Trump.
[00:14:22] It is a legislative package with real consequences for budgets, taxes, health care and national security. And a potential game changer as we head toward the 2026 midterms.
[00:14:34] So let's take a closer look.
[00:14:36] What is the Big Beautiful Bill?
[00:14:39] We hear so much noise and differing opinions on all the mainstream mediums.
[00:14:46] At its heart, the BBB is a budget agreement designed to shape government spending and taxation for the next year with the goal of preventing shutdowns and managing the nation's finances responsibly. It includes several important concepts.
[00:15:02] Extending tax cuts.
[00:15:05] It extends key provisions of the 2017 tax cuts, which were set to expire come January 1st of 2026. This means families and small businesses will avoid an unexpected tax increase.
[00:15:20] Spending Caps the bill enforces limits on discretionary spending covering most government programs outside of entitlements.
[00:15:28] This helps keep federal spending growth in check, responding to voter concerns about inflation and debt.
[00:15:35] Medicaid Work Requirements this is not the first time work requirements were initiated on welfare benefits. It occurred back in the Clinton administration and I believe also Obama.
[00:15:48] But this is highly controversial and significant. Part of the bill requires some Medicaid recipients, those without minor children, to meet worker community engagement requirements to maintain eligibility.
[00:16:01] This provision is aimed at encouraging employment and reducing dependency, but has raised concerns about access for vulnerable populations. Again, those that are disabled, those that have young children, those are exceptions. But if you are a well abled bodied individual that can work, you are going to have work requirements.
[00:16:21] Defense and Border Security Funding the bill safeguards robust funding for the military and border enforcement agencies, a nod to national security priorities that both on the polls Democrats and Republicans both in polls supported.
[00:16:38] It also provides targeted investments in infrastructure, technology and safety, recognizing the fiscal responsibility must be balanced with critical needs.
[00:16:48] So let's look into what these tax extensions mean for you.
[00:16:53] Without this bill, millions of Americans would have faced higher taxes starting next year as the 2017 tax cuts would have expired. That includes lower income and middle class families as well as small business owners, many of whom depend on those cuts for planning instability.
[00:17:11] By extending these cuts, the bill offers predictability and some relief. So for those, let's just say for instance if you are if you are at 23% right now, you would be bumped up to 28 if it weren't for this BBB Big Beautiful Bill. And don't get me wrong, there are some several issues with this bill and there's some major question marks.
[00:17:37] So for future debates, our tax policies are still ahead for now. Many taxpayers avoid an immediate increase.
[00:17:45] There is the spending caps and fiscal responsibility.
[00:17:48] You know some of those Doge recommendations are part of this.
[00:17:54] Not to the liking of Elon, but that's another discussion for another day.
[00:17:59] But there are spending cuts designed to put a break on unchecked government growth. Discretionary spending funds everything from education and infrastructure to federal agencies and research.
[00:18:10] Setting firm limits means Congress has guardrails to work within, encouraging lawmakers to prioritize and make tough choices. Now one thing I could always say, and I have been saying this for years, it is unfortunate that on the federal level you do not have line item vetoes. We in Florida do so when like our legislature passes a budget and may have some projects in there and pork as they like to say, you can line item, this was significant.
[00:18:40] Let's talk about Medicaid work requirements, because this is what is being hammered on the left. They're saying millions of people are going to lose their Medicaid. This isn't fair.
[00:18:50] But those on the right are like, okay, but the taxpayers are, are the ones responsible for maintaining these Medicaid benefits for people who are able to work, they are able bodied. What that means is they're not disabled. They didn't just have a child, they're not a child.
[00:19:09] And maybe, just maybe, we need to figure out how to break generational dependence on welfare, because that is a problem and it is a thing.
[00:19:23] But this is the most contentious part of the bill. The bill mandates that some Medicaid recipients engage in work, job training or a community service to remain eligible.
[00:19:34] So proponents argue this encourages self sufficiency and reduces long term dependency on government aid. Of course, opponents worry it could block access for vulnerable people, especially in rural or underserved areas, who face barriers to employment.
[00:19:49] States will have some flexibility in implementing these requirements, but the provision is already drawing political fire on both sides. And this will be a key issue coming up in the midterms.
[00:20:03] Defense spending remains strong, maintaining support for troops and military readiness.
[00:20:09] Border security agencies get increased funding, addressing ongoing debates about immigration enforcement and national security.
[00:20:17] Meanwhile, infrastructure investments recognize the need to modernize transportation technology and public safety systems, balancing restraint with necessary growth.
[00:20:30] But what comes next in this political dynamic?
[00:20:34] This bill's passage is notable not just for its contents, but for the political context.
[00:20:40] Trump played a prominent role in pushing Republicans to unite behind the deal.
[00:20:45] I mean, he was pulling out all the tricks on this one.
[00:20:50] Democrats agreed to terms to avoid shutdowns and shows and show they can govern. But as the Wall Street Journal editorial notes, both parties now face a messaging challenge.
[00:21:04] Republicans must present this as a clear win for voters without fracturing internally, which that is their biggest challenge. And Democrats, well, they're just going to emphasize that this is, you know, negligible, that this was not, you know, this is just an autocrat. This is going to hurt the little person. And this is just giving tax breaks to the billionaires.
[00:21:29] I can tell you, I know in 2007, in 2018, my taxes, I was greatly relieved from that. I am a small business owner.
[00:21:41] But yes, maybe there is some tax reforms that need to be happening. We all know that there's absolute forms. But one thing is for certain, and this is a major issue for both sides. Show that you're fiscally responsible.
[00:21:57] Stop demonizing the other side and show that you are there for the majority of us, not the extremes, not the small percentages that are so loud and so boisterous and do pull in a lot of money and show that you care about the vast majority of us.
[00:22:20] Small and middle business owners and middle class and some upper lower class are going to benefit from this.
[00:22:32] Requiring able bodied people to actually work should not be a platform to be argued. Why are we not going out there and saying okay, what do we need to go into the communities to better enable you to work?
[00:22:48] We should be working together, nonprofit for profit government to figure out how to break generational poverty.
[00:22:59] And before you guys come attack me, go oh it's so easy for you. You're an attorney, you don't know what you're talking about or you're just some other right wing person.
[00:23:09] I ran 2 non profits to assist low income community members and yes partnering with other non for profits to try to figure out how can we give a hand up, boost the low income community and break that cycle because family members that are stuck on benefits, on welfare benefits.
[00:23:38] That is not a family plan. That is not a solution. That is not the American dream.
[00:23:47] I am a daughter of Cuban refugees who fled their country with nothing in their pockets and a baby on their hip and they made it because this country afforded the rights to afforded the opportunities to do so.
[00:24:03] So yes come the mid and we're going to be hearing a lot the midterm elections and the biggest issues are going to be this because the Democrats already demonizing that this is a Trump authoritarianism, that this is only benefiting the billionaires. And let's not forget how many billionaires were throwing money at Kamala Harris's campaign. Let's not forget how many billionaires are actually on the left and hypocritical when they say hello Mr. Gates that we should be giving up, we the people should be giving up things because it's not good for the environment or good for for for others or that we should be sharing the wealth when why not promote other people to become wealthy.
[00:24:52] We're going to take a quick commercial break and we're just going to start looking into some other aspects that of news that come to the forefront.
[00:25:05] Welcome back.
[00:25:07] Progressive Democrats can't get their most radical policies through Congress, especially now that the Republicans do have majority of both chambers.
[00:25:16] So now they're shifting the battleground to your backyard. According to a New York Times piece this week, they're using states and cities as forums to pass far left proposals. They know would never survive national scrutiny.
[00:25:33] But these aren't pilot programs. They're full scale experiments with real lives and real consequences.
[00:25:40] And nowhere is this more dangerous or more visible than in the New York City mayoral race where Democratic mayoral candidate Mandani is advancing a vision that can only be described as Marxist light.
[00:25:57] No law enforcement background, no executive experience, just etiology and a very loud megaphone.
[00:26:05] Oh, and let's not forget he likes to claim that he has no money, but yet he comes from a very, very wealthy family and, and has only had the best of educations.
[00:26:15] So what is this progressive playbook?
[00:26:19] So let's be honest. The far left, and I'm talking progressive, I'm not talking Democrats, I'm going to differentiate Democrats from progressive left.
[00:26:31] And that is the far left have figured out that they don't need Washington to reshape the country. And we've been saying that all they need are city councils, district attorneys and governors willing to go along with it.
[00:26:45] What used to be the laboratories of democracy are now testing grounds for chaos.
[00:26:53] Rent control proposals that destroy housing supply. Open air drug policies that devastate communities. Climate mandates that shut down entire industries.
[00:27:04] And when. And worst of all, criminal justice reforms that prioritize the criminal over the victim and the safety of the community.
[00:27:15] So let's talk about Mandami Mandani.
[00:27:20] This is not a fringe activist. He is the leading Democratic candidate in the mayor of New York City. And some people may say that's New York City. That doesn't affect me. I live down here in Florida or I live in Texas or I live in Louisiana. Trust me, what happens in New York City has ripple effects throughout the country.
[00:27:44] So what is this mayoral candidate Mamdani proposing?
[00:27:49] Ending cash bail for nearly all offenses. So that's basically a catch and release, which we've already seen because of attorney Bragg has been basically implementing that during the last four years, decarcerating the city.
[00:28:08] So basically releasing criminals en masse, replacing traditional policing with community led justice hubs.
[00:28:19] Let me tell you, some of those neighborhoods, most of the people that live in what would be called the hood want police presence.
[00:28:28] This is just another defund the police, but they're just wrapping it in a different bow.
[00:28:35] Guaranteeing housing and health care to all residents, including undocumented immigrants, with no clear funding source.
[00:28:44] Imposing new business taxes to pay for expanded social programs.
[00:28:50] You read that?
[00:28:53] You heard me right. Taxing small businesses in a city where retail vacancy is at a historic high and where one in three residents say they're afraid to Ride the subway.
[00:29:05] This isn't compassionate policy.
[00:29:08] This is economic and civic suicide.
[00:29:12] So let's discuss the real fallout, what's already happening. Under similar policies pushed by Mamdani's allies on the city councils.
[00:29:27] In 2024, New York State eliminated cash, eliminated cash bail for most misdemeanors and non violent felonies. Which is curious. I'm still trying to figure out how they get that when it's really should be up on the government on the governor's side.
[00:29:41] But still they eliminated it.
[00:29:46] Result. According to the NYPD data, 43% of those released without bail were rearrested within six months, many for violent crimes.
[00:29:57] The parole board, under pressure from activists, released 24 convicted murderers in 2023.
[00:30:06] Several have since been arrested, including one for assaulting a police officer.
[00:30:15] The Less is More act, which limited parole violations, was hailed as progress, but it directly led to the release of a parolee arrested just weeks later in connection with a fatal stabbing in the Bronx.
[00:30:29] These aren't policy debates, these are lives lost and neighborhoods destabilized. And also a law enforcement that is already stretched to the gills being attacked as well.
[00:30:45] But this mayoral candidate, Mamdani wants more of it. Faster and even more widespread and whole pay for this.
[00:31:02] Don't think it's just the New York City residents, those in the five boroughs in New York City? No. And it's not just gonna negatively impact greater state of New York who also depend on the tax base from New York City, the most populous city.
[00:31:20] See, here's what mainstream media won't tell you when New York fails. It doesn't collapse quickly. It begs Washington for a bailout. We saw this during 2020.
[00:31:33] We saw this with California, we saw this with Chicago.
[00:31:37] And when it comes to federal bailout, you know who pocket whose pockets they're reaching into?
[00:31:45] Yours and mine.
[00:31:46] Your federal tax dollars will be used to clean up the wreckage of policy you never voted for.
[00:31:52] That's how this works. Bad local leadership, crime, flight, fiscal crisis. And the flight is of those. Oh yeah, remember he also wants the governor Hochul said there will not be any tax increases. He wants to put an an additional 1 to 2% tax on those earning 1 million or more. Now some people go, well they're millionaires, why not? Well guess what, they're going to flee to states like Florida.
[00:32:19] Because when you have a tax base in New York that's already 42%, 44% and goes up to 46%, you're going to start looking at the states that you have no state Income tax or city income tax. And you're going to go to those like Florida where these same individuals that are at 46 will come will be reduced down to 34.
[00:32:42] Pressure on the state. He's trying to pressure the state into following these progressives. And now Governor Hochul is no like center of right or center left or even moderate.
[00:32:54] She's. But she understands fiscally what this impacts and how it impacts other cities and areas of New York.
[00:33:05] And once everything falls, when these house of cards falls, the Fed has to step in. Because if New York goes down, that will impact hugely not only in the world finance, but also the United States financial stability.
[00:33:21] But what this man is hailing, and it may sound great, especially to these younger generations that really think that they're entitled to everything, this will be economic ruin.
[00:33:39] Now what real leadership requires, what is it that we require from real leadership?
[00:33:45] Look, I'm an attorney of 25 plus years and I want it to be clear. I believe in criminal justice reform because it is necessary.
[00:33:54] It was glaring how much judicial reform needs to be done, especially after 2020.
[00:34:00] I believe in mercy and I believe in fairness.
[00:34:04] But I also believe in accountability, experience and boundaries because justice without safety is no justice at all.
[00:34:16] And we cannot keep allowing activists with no leadership qualifications to run major cities as social experiment while everyday families live with the fallout.
[00:34:27] We need mayors and governors who believe in order growth and earned opportunity, not guaranteed outcomes funded by phantom dollars. And for crying out loud, we don't need just a pretty face or someone who says all the right things because I'm a college kid and wow, that sounds awesome. Get real. Maybe project yourself in your 40s when you have children. Do you want them to be afraid? Do you want New York City to, to go back to the lawlessness it was heavily known for back in the 80s and the 70s.
[00:35:03] Mamdani isn't just a candidate.
[00:35:06] He is the embodiment of a dangerous shift happening across the country where ideology has replaced logic, radicalism is masquerading as progress.
[00:35:20] And for all of those who go, socialism is great. It's just we, we can do it right this time. Then look at Cuba, look at Venezuela, look at the Soviet Union, look at socialist countries today.
[00:35:34] The media, some of media call this bold. I call it reckless.
[00:35:40] And if we don't call it out now, if we don't put a stop to it now, we the people are the ones left picking up the pieces.
[00:35:49] You're watching. We the people. We'll be right back after this.
[00:35:57] We close tonight.
[00:36:02] Turning to Something deeper. Not partisan, not political, but profoundly moral.
[00:36:08] Because when international institutions lose their moral compass, the world suffers.
[00:36:14] You're going to be like, what are you talking about?
[00:36:19] Nowhere is it more visible right now than at the United nations, where anti Semitism is no longer whispered. It is openly spoken, endorsed and protected. In fact, we've seen an explosion since the October 7th ghastly attacks by Hamas on on Israelis.
[00:36:42] There was an editorial in the Wall Street Journal this week, and I couldn't agree more with it, calling out the United nations anti Semitism as unacceptable, institutionalizing this hate towards Jews, not just Israel, Jews and the United States.
[00:37:06] And at the center of this latest scandal is Francesca Albanese, the UN so called Special Rapporteur of the Palestinian territories.
[00:37:15] Let me be clear.
[00:37:17] This woman has no business representing the global community, let alone opening on issues of war, peace and sovereignty.
[00:37:26] So you may ask, who is this Francesca Albanese woman and why it matters?
[00:37:33] Albanese has made it a career of delegitimizing Israel not just its policies, but is very right to exist.
[00:37:44] She has accused Israel of settler colonialism. She apparently doesn't pick up a Bible.
[00:37:52] She has denied Israel's right to self defense and even blamed Jewish influence on American foreign policy.
[00:38:01] Yes, she echoes classic anti Semitic tropes about Jewish power and control.
[00:38:09] And yet despite bipartisan, that means both Democrats and Republican people condemnation, the UN has refused to remove her.
[00:38:20] Senator Marco Rubio, along with 18 other senators has demanded sanctions and called for the US to stop fighting funding UN bodies that promote or tolerate anti Semitism.
[00:38:31] And he's absolutely right.
[00:38:35] And this has been a long pattern of bias by the un.
[00:38:40] Let's not pretend this is new.
[00:38:43] The UN has a has been signal singling out Israel for a very long period. But especially since October 7, there are more resolutions condemning Israel than any other nation on earth.
[00:39:01] The UN specifically ignores Hamas, Iran, the head of the snake of terrorism, China, Venezuela and North Korea.
[00:39:13] Israel, the only democracy in the Middle east, our greatest ally in the Middle east and the only country with free press. And for those queers and for Palestine, you better listen to us. The only one that actually have rights for the LGBTQ plus communities.
[00:39:36] Hell, they have the biggest pride festival and parade in the world. But yet these progressives, these kids want to promote who say their queers for le, for Hamas or for free Palestine. They would not even be alive if they were openly gay.
[00:39:58] There's also judicial review.
[00:40:01] They have checks and balances and they have lawful elections.
[00:40:07] But yet Israel with all of this is treated as a pariah by people who defend dictatorships, who defend terrorists, who defend absolute destruction.
[00:40:22] This isn't diplomacy, it's diplomatic anti Semitism.
[00:40:28] And let me say something plainly.
[00:40:31] Anti Semitism is not an abstract problem.
[00:40:35] We are watching right now a resurgence of hatred against Jewish communities around the world.
[00:40:43] Synagogues are being defaced, Jewish students attacked here on the U. S campuses, Jews being attacked on the streets as they're walking by.
[00:40:56] Social media flooded with holocaust denials and Hamas propaganda even saying that Iran is a victim.
[00:41:04] When the hell did a terrorist become a victim?
[00:41:08] Protests calling for the destruction of Israel or for the infitala to occur.
[00:41:17] Those supporting countries like Iran who, who yell and scream in their government, in their parliament. Death to America. Death to the Jews.
[00:41:35] So when international institutions like the UN give people like Francesca Albanese a microphone, they get this hate legitimacy and they have been giving it for far too long.
[00:41:49] I have been crying and stating this loudly. I am like absolutely floored. Why we continue to promote or even allow the United nations try to dictate policies when they are so clearly askew against what is democracy, what is fair, what is legitimate and also the right to self defense. And not saying that you have to pick Muslim over Jews. What I'm saying is that having that an essential moral balance, that Israel has a right to exist, we should be asking ourselves why is it that the US still funds institutions that normalize this behavior? Why fund an institution that is starting to come after the United States, that wants to bring charges against the United States, against our president, against certain bureaucrats in the international court which by the way we did never adhered to or signed on to the icc.
[00:43:04] So it is time for us to take a stand.
[00:43:07] And I think there are more people, we the people, there's a greater percentage that are like why?
[00:43:14] Why is it that our ability to govern ourselves, our ability to know what's right from wrong and be moral and stuff is being pandered to to some organization, the United Nations.
[00:43:32] And maybe it's time to really think what role is the United nations supposed to be taking? Because all I've seen between World Health Organization, the United nations is that they want to take away the ability to self govern from government and to punish. And UN now is start is starting to attack America and I'm calling BS on that.
[00:43:56] So this is not a left issue, it's not a right issue.
[00:44:00] This is about moral clarity.
[00:44:03] We send billions to the U.N.
[00:44:08] we the people are funding this and yet we allow our ally Israel and the Jewish people to be smeared by the UN Officials with zero accountability. And now they are smearing us.
[00:44:23] Set aside your hate of Trump. I still don't get that. You want to hate the man. Hate the man. But you know what? Be proud of the United States. Stand up for the United States. Stand up for her.
[00:44:33] Stand up for your fellow Americans. Stand up for the rights that we have that are a blessing.
[00:44:41] But also stand by our allies and realize that we cannot go Back to the 1930s, 1940s of the Hitler regime. And I'm not saying Hitler like the people always use in the elections. No, I'm talking about the genocide that occurred.
[00:45:05] Genocide of Jews, genocide of gypsies, those that don't seem to be mainstream. But yet, when did it all sudden become so anti Semitic?
[00:45:19] It's always been bubbling under the surface. But when October 7th hit, it re. It erupted. And it's a lava flow that needs to be stopped.
[00:45:31] And it's time for the United States to. To draw a line. And I applaud Marco Rubio, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, for drawing that line.
[00:45:45] And if the U. N. Won't remove Francesca Albanese, then the US should stop funding any branch that gives her a platform. Enough said.
[00:45:56] Defending Israel is defending civilization.
[00:46:00] Let me say that again.
[00:46:03] Israel is by no means perfect. No country is.
[00:46:08] But it is a nation surrounded by enemies, targeted daily defending itself against terror and somehow expected to apologize for their mere existence.
[00:46:20] When the world isolates Israel. That is not diplomacy.
[00:46:27] It is betrayal.
[00:46:30] Betrayal of every principle the UN Claims to uphold.
[00:46:36] Truth, justice, peace.
[00:46:40] That is betrayed by Francesca Albanese and others that are cloaked in the UN Flag and state. That they speak for the nations, that they speak for the world. Well, they do not speak to for the world. They do not speak for the United States, and they certainly do not speak for our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. So good for you.
[00:47:02] And as we close tonight, let me say this clearly. Anti Semitism is anti said. Anti Semitism, no matter who speaks it or how they do it. And when it comes from the halls of the United nations, it's not just hateful, it's dangerous.
[00:47:18] Here on we the People, we will continue to speak out. Because silence in the face of hatred is not neutrality. It's complicity.
[00:47:28] Good night. And may truth always be our guide.
