The Commie Left Is Melting Down | Episode 204

26:40Why don't we just, that'll be a simple list. What has Tim Walz done correctly? Is there anything? Have you ever seen him load a shotgun? Has he ever actually served in combat? He lied about that, you know? Does he not wave? Has he ever not pranced as he flitted about on stage? what is Tim walls ever done correctly not sure there's an answer to that I don't know if these done anything correctly yeah how did he become governor kind of he lost the election says me in 1976 yeah that's true that he did do that correctly he lost the election the election and he wasn't again he nobody even voted for it for him or Kamala to become the nominees of those party yeah that's good oh and he dropped out of reelection yeah he did drop out of re-election in Minnesota.

27:30So I guess those things he did do correctly. All right. So he's got some things on the list. Lefties are going crazy. You see the tool of the week? You know about the tool of the week? This guy, Isaac just looked at me. He goes, no, I don't know. Who's the tool of the week? Ready? Here's the tool of the week. This dude, he drove four hours, one way to come to Minnesota, meaning it's eight hours round trip, eight hours of driving. he did eight hours of driving burned eight hours of gas to stand outside of a random mexican restaurant in minnesota to protect the mexican restaurant from ice now there's no reason to believe that ice was going to show up at this restaurant the only thing that would lead you to that conclusion is if you're a racist who assumes that ice is only targeting people because they're mexican or something here's the tool of the week cut to paul you came in from madison Wisconsin.

28:24That's a long drive. Help explain to me why you're here outside of this business right now. So I'm out here right now because this business put out a call for people to stand on this corner to watch the business for them. They've been really worried about reopening. They were shut down for the past five days after ICE was here and they just aren't comfortable just doing this on their own. And this is a Mexican restaurant and grocery store. And Paul, I see that you have a lot of equipment on you. You have a camera, obviously. You have another GoPro back here. This acts as a whistle, you were telling me.

29:02And you've also got a first aid kit. Why is he dressed like a lib version of the brawny man?

29:15What the hell was that? I got to pull this up, Justin, if we can do a comparison here. is can you can you do you see this is it justin could you do this side by side for me there's there's the uh i guess this is the the modern version of the brawny man now show me that kid if you could is it possible i'm asking justin to pull off a lot here i we didn't even discuss this before the show but i'm looking at this dude and he's like he is uh what's the what's the word he's like a flamboyant version of the brawny man except that guy couldn't fight his way through a paper towel look at him oh that's funny that's great anyway so he man talk about all the gas and what is he doing you see all the cameras the guy's got on him he's got a gopro on his shoulder he's got like a Canon digital SLR around his neck.

30:14I think he's got a rape whistle on his neck too. And he's standing outside of a Mexican restaurant. And what's he going to do? Like, so if ICE showed up, what does that dude do? I can see you. I'm capturing you on camera. Okay. Yeah, you keep it up, Ronnie, man. You're doing great work over there, son. That's amazing. Boy. It's a good thing Donald Trump made gas so much cheaper. That's the silver lining in that saga. All right, more ahead on the program. I've got the great Kevin Roberts joining us from the Heritage Foundation. We'll get his impression on what the heck is going on in America and what needs to be done to rescue it.

30:56He thinks about it all the time. That's why he works at a think tank. It's called the Heritage Foundation. We'll talk to him in just a moment.

33:33All right. Thanks to Bone Charge. All right. And welcome to the program, the excellent Dr. Kevin Roberts. He's the president of the Heritage Foundation, where they're always staying busy, thinking up all the important ways to rescue our nation. Kevin, great to have you with us on the show, sir, as always. It's always a pleasure. Thank you for what you do to be part of Taking Back America. Well, you know, I'm reeling this morning. I'm sure you are, too. seeing these images yet again out of Minneapolis. We get more rioting overnight. And why are they rioting? They're rioting because a law enforcement officer, ICE officer, had to defend himself from a mob of people who were looking to hurt or kill him.

34:12They were striking him with poles and with snow shovels. And he fires his weapon, hits an illegal alien, violent illegal in the leg. And now there's riots in Minneapolis. And the president this morning says, you know what, it might be time to think about finally invoking the Insurrection Act. And I don't know if you have a position on this, Dr. Roberts, but my position is he should have done it a while ago. What do we need to do here? Well, something definitely needs to change because at its most fundamental, as you outlined, Vince, this is one of the most egregious violations of the rule of law that I see, certainly in modern American history.

34:49And it is as simple as the following. A federal law enforcement agency with jurisdiction, especially over illegal aliens, is not only not being cooperated with by local law enforcement, but in many jurisdictions in this country, obviously in Minneapolis and across the state of Minnesota, those law enforcement leaders are actively undermining their work, thereby putting into jeopardy the lives of those federal law enforcement agents. So the president, I think, is entirely right morally, ethically, to be thinking about doing something like invoking the Insurrection Act. I'm hopeful that there can be additional steps as well.

35:28But ultimately, if you take even one step back, additional step back, you realize the American people have had enough of this. They really do want law and order. And ultimately, these jurisdictions that are sanctuary cities and states and counties stand in the way of Americans' public safety. And also, you know, our media have a way of scandalizing anything that Donald Trump does and acting like it would be somehow unprecedented. It's not unprecedented to invoke the Insurrection Act. I was just going over the numbers again today. The Insurrection Act has been invoked 30 times by American presidents in our history.

35:59Many of those times have been in the last century. And insofar as there's been recalcitrance from governors, it's always Democrats, whether it's, you know, Orville Faubus or it's George Wallace. Basically, Democrats constantly foment insurrections in American history. And it's often Republican presidents, but sometimes Democrat presidents who have to invoke the Insurrection Act to put it down. That's just the way things have been. President Trump wouldn't be doing anything unusual here, would he? No, he wouldn't be. I mean, to your point, there's a long history of invoking the Insurrection Act.

36:31Heritage might colleagues be publishing an analysis of this particular situation later today. But so therefore, I'll answer this as a historian of this country, as you know. The reason the Insurrection Act exists is precisely because of what's going on in Minneapolis, which is to say where the federal government has jurisdiction, particularly as it relates to public safety and the rule of law, occasionally in our republic's history, cities and counties and states have violated that. And so if in fact we settled something in the American Civil War, which is that the federal government has this authority, then if you believe in the rule of law and you call yourselves, as the Democrat Party does, the party of democracy, then it seems to me that something has to impose that rule of law.

37:17That's why the Insurrection Act exists. So one of the things that we're watching these Democrat leaders do is they issue these statements that they, I think they think they're being very clever. Tim Walls last night was urging people in Minnesota to get in the faces of ICE officers. But he said things like, well, do it peacefully, but take your camera out and then record everything they're doing so we can use that in prosecutions of these ICE agents. Now, nobody with any sanity about them whatsoever thinks that ICE agents are guilty of any violations of the law here. In fact, they're taking child rapists and sodomizers and homicidal maniacs off the street.

37:53That's what they're actually doing. But Tim Walz will say things like that. Jacob Fry will tell people to continue to protest and tell ICE to get out of these communities. It does seem like these government officials are very much a part of fomenting the chaos we're seeing. Oh, I think they're totally guilty of that. And it's really important for people to understand on a practical level, what having a sanctuary city or sanctuary state does, what it means is it makes it that much harder for ICE agents to actually find the felons, the worst of the worst among the illegal aliens, which then means you have to round up all of the illegal aliens and process them and you continue to undermine the common good.

38:35But the key point you're making, vents about the governor, the attorney general of Minnesota, the mayor of Minneapolis, who, in addition to being a goofball, is also fomenting unrest, there has to be an account. The American people are upset, not just with the loss of life and not just with the disorder, but the fact that this is such a pattern and it's being fomented by a political institution, the Democratic Party of Minnesota. So why is their base so susceptible to this? Maybe that's kind of a sociological question. is certainly an implication for American politics. Why are there so many lefties who do take to the streets, people like Renee Good who think they're engaged in some sort of righteous holy war, and she parks perpendicularly across the street to try and block ICE agents from doing their job?

39:17They give her endless minutes of patience as they ask her to move her car. She doesn't. They go up to the vehicle, finally try and get her out of it. She guns it into one of the ICE agents, and of course he opens fire, rightfully, defending himself and his fellow agents. What leads a woman like Renee Good to do this? How does this happen in America at such scale? I think there are two huge factors that play into that. The first is politics has become their religion. This group of people, largely speaking, I'm sure there are exceptions, are people who have among the lowest church attendance in the country.

39:49They're part of the accelerating trend of a lack of religiosity. And what that means is that that's going to be replaced by something. And that something has become politics, which is just an awful thing just to worship, right? That's not an altar we want to build. But the second thing is, and you know I'm going to answer this as an educator too, you can't love what you don't know. And so two generations of not only poorly teaching American history and civics and philosophy and economics, but actually using that time for other projects like indoctrination have finally come home to roost. This is what we're confronting as the rotten fruit of that miseducation of the American populace for such a long time.

40:31Okay, this brings me into something that I know you're focused on right now, and it's the restoration of the American family, because I do think that that's at the epicenter of a lot of the problems we're seeing. What has been the trend in family formation in the United States? What does that look like? Are people getting married? Are they having children? I mean, are they going to church? What has been, what does that trend line look like? And what is Heritage doing right now to try to address this? Well, and you're right that it's completely connected to this dynamic of someone like Renee Good, because what's happened during this period of miseducation is the deterioration of institutions, schools and universities, but the deterioration of the greatest institution in human life, and that's the family.

41:12And so what we're saying at Heritage in this landmark study we released a few days ago, Vince, is that in addition to very important cultural, economic, social factors that play into someone's decision about whether they will be married and if so, if they will have children, is a set of government policies at the federal level that have disincentivized marriage and childbirth. What we're arguing, bottom line, at Heritage is that we want to invert those policies and actually eliminate those disincentives and use a couple of tax credits to incentivize what we think will be a modest uptick in marriage and birth.

41:48If we do that, and if we see an improvement in those even more important factors of cultural, society, and economics, I think we can see a reversal in this downward trend of the American family. I mean, marriage and having married parents, they really are kind of the single biggest indicator of whether or not a country succeeds. And anyone who's taken any look at this at all, it's like the social science on this, the economic science on this, is if you're born, if you're a child born to a family with a single mother, for instance, your chances of being in poverty are very high. And especially if you start in poverty, your chances of staying there are sky high.

42:24But if you're in the lowest quintile, for instance, if you're a poor child, poor family, but you have two married parents, your chances of making it to the highest quintile, the top 20 percent of the country, are even odds. You have very high odds of making it there. And it's all dependent on whether or not you have married parents. It really seems like one of the most important ingredients to our country's success. It is the single greatest indicator of stability and success. In fact, to your point about the research, all, all of the social science research from the leaning politically left, leaning politically right, all of it bears that out.

43:01And it reminds me of one of the studies that former education secretary Bill Bennett made who's trying to get at with some great research, you know, what are those factors that go into a poor child's success? And ultimately what it boiled down to, it wasn't even the school that they went to, It wasn't after school study to sort of improve someone's skills and something like math. It was the fact that when that child woke up, regardless of how rich or poor his or her family was, that they woke up in a family. And that remains true. And so what we're saying at Heritage is, if in fact we want to expand upon what we truly believe can be the golden age of America and be successful with all of our policies at home and abroad, at the heart of that success moving forward has to be the restoration of the American family.

43:46And we're urging policymakers in Washington and in state capitals to participate in this restoration. I told a story, and perhaps I've told you this too before, but I told a story on the air recently about my late grandmother just passed away a couple years ago. Wonderful woman, deeply religious, great Catholic, and her name is Mildred. And she told me, I asked her years ago, just as a teenager, I was hearing, I was listening to talk radio. and I hear about like how social security was like out of money and it was like completely run like an idiotic operation, which of course it is. And I said to her, I was like, do you ever worry that you're not going to get your social security check?

44:25And she responded, why would I worry? I've got nine children. And I thought ever since then, I never stopped thinking about that. And I was reminded, and I'm just constantly reminded of it, that there was a time in our history where insofar as we were dependent, we weren't dependent on the government almost at all. We were dependent on each other. Like if you had some sort of emergency that required a babysitter, you had a family member who probably lived next door to you or maybe lived in your house who could watch the kid. Or you like – you have a pet situation. You have a family member, somebody nearby.

44:55That was the country that I think people remember but in many ways no longer exists because of the government dependence and the attack on family that you're talking about. No, it's true. In the same way that politics has replaced religion for so many leftist Americans, the government has replaced the institution of the family for so many Americans. And so our argument at Heritage is we ultimately have to focus on those factors that are upstream of politics and policies, culture, society, economics. But that downstream of them have been some government policies that actually have changed behavior.

45:31And so let us have the boldness let us frankly have the hopefulness about the future that through a couple of tax credits that we can amplify some of the decisions that americans want to make to restore that beautiful image that you mentioned it doesn't ultimately mean that every woman needs to say we're going to have nine children any specific number of children as much as as an institution we want the american family to be revitalized yeah yeah i guess if there's anything i don't know if you feel this way, but if there's anything that might give you hope through all of this crisis our country is going through, oftentimes it's these moments of crisis where people are reminded of the eternal truths.

46:10Because I don't know, the people I run into in my life, I do feel like are more spiritual now than they've ever been. People are thinking more sincerely about what it's all about, what it means. And I do think that there are some people who are going back to church now. So maybe something good can come of all of this, Kevin. I think so. I mean, you and I I both know because of our shared faith that where evil exists, where challenges exist, there's always at least a commensurate amount of good. The question for us as Americans is, what are we going to do about the opportunity in addition to what we do about the challenges?

46:43And at Heritage, I'm so proud of my colleagues for seizing upon this moment, surely filled with a lot of challenges, long-running patterns like we've talked about regarding the family, some short-term problems in Minnesota, hopefully short-term. But we have to have answers to take advantage of the opportunity, which exists because the American people are hopeful about the future in spite of the present day. And we have to be brave. And we have to pray. I mean, we got to pray for courage and light, the light to know the way, the courage to take it. Kevin Roberts, thank you always, sir, for your time and your great work at Heritage.

47:13Good to talk to you today. Thanks, my friend. Take care. There he is, Dr. Kevin Roberts. Nice to chat with him today. I mean, the family thing really does come. I'm obsessed with this issue because I do feel like it is right there at the core of how we fix all of this. I mean, how often do you turn on the news and you see this chaos like places like Minneapolis? And you're like, oh, yeah, oh, those people have healthy family lives. Oh, yeah, those people, the people were flipping cars and tying tow ropes to weapons safes in the backs of cop cars and stealing all of their documents and attacking police officers.

47:46Oh, yeah, I'm sure they've got a very healthy family life. That's probably what's going on. No. No. These are a lot of tortured people with some sort of trauma going on that they're just manifesting on the rest of us. We need to put an end to that. That needs to stop. So we need to crack down on the lawlessness. We need to invoke the Insurrection Act. We need to arrest the bad guys. We need to stop the weak leaders who are making this fester or fermenting it outright. We need to arrest people like Tim Walls and Jacob Frey. If they're running afoul of federal law, arrest them for it. Impose consequences.

48:20But simultaneously, we need a restoration of the American family. We need a restoration of the most important institution. The most important governing unit of our entire culture is the family. We need a restoration of that. Stop grooming the children. Stop that. Let's start taking care of them and raising them right. Okay. Let's see. I've got, well, we've got a lot going on here. We have a lot going on here in this country. It is, you know, so that happens overnight. Did you see all this stuff out of Iran? I'll just mention in brief, I was kind of, I went to bed last night thinking, are we, are we going to be doing some more missile strikes in Iran?

49:04Are things going to get crazy? Well, President Trump kind of indicated yesterday that he says the Iranian government has stopped, at least for now, killing protesters. Now, we've heard the reports are all over the place. And I don't, candidly, I don't even really know what to believe coming out of Iran right now. They shut down internet access for the whole country. You know, sometimes getting casualty numbers or death numbers, it's like, you know, like remember the Gaza Health Ministry was giving casualty numbers out of Gaza. And you're like, well, the Gaza Health Ministry, what are you talking about?

49:33That's run by Hamas. We're supposed to trust the specific numbers. It's difficult work. But regardless, there's no question, There's absolute chaos going on in Iran right now. Protesters are taken to the streets, holding up signs, calling on President Trump to intervene, to fight back against the ruling regime. The government buildings set on fire. Lots of people, I think, getting killed. That's the reporting on the subject. And even some executions that were planned for this week that for now, President Trump says have been forestalled, that his administration is in negotiation with the Iranian regime, however that takes place.

50:08And for now, Iran is playing ball for now. There was an effort to try and evacuate American military bases in the region last night, specifically in Qatar. And then once President Trump indicated that actually things are settling up with Iran, at least for the moment, then the evacuation order was reportedly reversed. So this thing is ebbing and flowing right now. But we're keeping an eye on it. But I did. I was laying down last night. I was like, man, I'm going to wake up tomorrow. We're going to have a full-blown Iran show on our hands, depending on what happens there. But it turns out it's a domestic show because we've got a crazy, crazy insurrection going on in Minneapolis.

50:54Now, yesterday morning, just like every morning, not every morning, but a lot of mornings, including this morning, I got a call from my great White House correspondent, Reagan Reese. We always try and go over questions for the president of the United States, things to ask him. And yesterday, as I recalled, I had two big questions that jumped right to the top of my head yesterday morning. And I said, would you ask him about this new assistant attorney general to investigate fraud? I want to know whether or not we're going to get to the bottom of the fraud nationwide and how quickly that will happen.

51:25Where is this guy? Because we're expecting a nomination. We haven't had it yet. And so Reagan did ask President Trump yesterday about this new assistant AG and the president tipped his hand a little bit. Take a look. Cut one. The new assistant attorney general position dedicated to rooting out fraud. Yeah, he's fantastic. The person is fantastic. Who is it? It's a he. I will tell you maybe within minutes. I mean, I don't know if it's appropriate to say yet because we're going through a process. But we have chosen a person who's very tough, very smart, very fair. We've chosen a person who's very tough, very smart, very fair.

52:02We're going to be announcing him soon. He said maybe in a couple of seconds. That didn't happen right away. There must be some sort of process the White House is undertaking. But let's go. Let's get this person out there. We need to get after them. MAGA4Life923 goes, Vince, ask the Insurrection Act question to Reagan. Hey, MAGA4Life, I got you covered. Easy now. I already talked to Reagan this morning. Yes, we talked about the Insurrection Act. We'll see. You know, there's an art to these questions. Sometimes you've got to figure out a way to strategically ask which question you're going to get.

52:31Some of it's like kind of reading the room. What mood is the president in? Basically, the top priority is how can you get valuable information out to the public? So we'll see. I'll leave it to Reagan in terms of which questions she's asking. But believe me, I brought up the Insurrection Act. It was like first thing this morning. She called me. She's like, what do you think? And I was like, God, this Insurrection Act thing. President Trump's all over it on True Social. And he's talked about it a lot. What is it going to take for them to finally do it? What threshold are you waiting for, Mr. President?

53:01So we'll see. That's definitely on the menu today. So there's President Trump. They need to get this guy in there quickly. He says he's great. I hope that means he's cutthroat. I hope that means he's going to come in and just start slicing throats. Like, we're taking down fraudsters left and right. Please, get this person in fast. And then there is this issue. There was something. Oh, Politico had a report this week. Politico, which of course meant instantly I wasn't sure if it was real or not. But I'm concerned about it. Politico reported that the Trump administration quietly, quotation marks in the air, quietly restored Planned Parenthood funding to the tune of millions, that they had taken away from Planned Parenthood and Title X funding, Title X.

53:55And they did that in December that HHS had done that. That doesn't sound good to me. Under no circumstances should your tax dollars or my tax dollars be going to killing babies. It shouldn't be happening. And certainly not be given to an organization that kills babies at scale. But en masse. No, of course not. not not a single dime to those demons no and so you get a story that says oh they've got some money back well what's that about is that is that true who came to that decision so again i was curious reagan asked reagan asked the president of the united states yesterday and helpfully the head of hhs rfk jr was standing right behind him listen to this this interested me i didn't both of them seemed completely caught off guard by the topic itself listen cut three watch It's being reported that Health and Human Services released frozen funds to Planned Parenthood.

54:54I'm wondering why this happened and why Planned Parenthood is receiving any federal funds. I don't know anything about that. Bobby, do you know anything about that? What was the question? It's being reported that frozen funds were released to Planned Parenthood in December by AJS. I'm wondering why that happened. I have not heard that. I have not heard that. Mr. President. I have not heard that. I have not heard that. Now, I don't think either of those men are like lying or anything. I think they were genuinely surprised by that item and didn't didn't know what she was even referring to. But we got some more information yesterday afternoon about this.

55:33This comes to us from The Daily Signal reporter Elizabeth Troutman Mitchell. And I'm keeping an eye on this because I don't want to see a single dime go to the baby killers. I don't know about you. Here's what the headline says. why Trump's HHS did give Planned Parenthood tens of millions in funding back. And there's an explanation for this. The explanation that Daily Signal gives us is that apparently it was a tactical retreat designed to make it so that the administration can cut even more funding from Planned Parenthood. It's a legal battle, in other words. Here's what they got. Political reported that the ACLU on Monday dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration after HHS quietly released tens of millions of dollars in Title X family planning funds to Planned Parenthood and other clinics.

56:21The move sparked widespread outrage from pro-life conservatives, rightfully so. The ACLU, joined by the National Family Planning and Reproductive Health Association, had sued the administration over what they called unlawful withholding of more than$65 million in Title X grants. But the agency may have had no choice but to restore funding. according to Tom McCluskey, who's a veteran pro-life operative and the director of the government affairs operation at Catholic Vote. The agency withheld the funds before amending 42 U.S. Code Part 300, a rule which governs family planning grants. McCluskey told the Daily Signal, quote, the Trump administration was virtually certain to lose the lawsuit, forcing them to repay the full amount plus interest and then cover attorney's fees.

57:09Even worse, continuing the litigation would have entangled any future funding cuts, which are highly likely under the new regulations, in prolonged court battles before an unsympathetic judge. A former senior Trump official told The Daily Signal the administration will now be in a better position to defund Planned Parenthood. Quote, HHS was caught in a tough spot because the judge was almost certainly going to rule against them, and they would have had to restore the funding under Biden-era rules. possibly with interest and attorney's fees on top of that. With the case dismissed, the administration has far greater ability to cut Planned Parenthood funds under Trump-era rules, and that will be the true test of the president's promise to end taxpayer funding of the abortion industry.

57:58All right, this is one of those things that's like, okay, okay. I'll take it as an explanation. They say this is a big, this is a tactical retreat by the Trump administration. It came down to the lawyers in the Trump administration, HHS, DOJ, making a decision saying, okay, we just have to back off for now. They get access to that funding for a moment. But we are using this as a predicate to cut even more. Planned Parenthood, by the way, should not receive a dime. Planned Parenthood should not receive a dime from any kind of operation in our federal government. Every single dollar needs to be cut.

58:38So, and by the way, they don't just abort babies. They also inject children and humans full of all sorts of cross-sex hormones. They're, I think, the number one provider of cross-sex hormones in the country. Yeah. Planned parenthood. Yeah. So, they need to not exist is what needs to happen. And certainly not with any of our tax dollars. So, we will stay vigilant to this story. We'll keep an eye on it.
