Nick Sortor dissects the left’s hypocrisy over Trump’s crime crackdown, citing D.C.’s 90%+ homicide drop and 67% carjacking decline under his policies while protests—led by out-of-state demonstrators—ignore Black residents’ safety gains. He highlights Trump’s deadly strikes on Trend Aragua cartels in the Caribbean, framing fentanyl trafficking as a China-Venezuela proxy war, and contrasts media coverage of cartel crimes in Aurora with ignored Ukrainian refugee attacks. Chief Rich Wyatt blames sanctuary policies and political interference for police inaction, praising private intervention by Councilwoman Danielle Jorensky, while Sortor links Trump’s DOJ to freeing Tina Peters, imprisoned for exposing voter fraud. The episode reveals a systemic war on conservative speech and law enforcement, exposing the left’s performative outrage over real security threats. [Automatically generated summary]
Our ideological battle in our generation is not what we went through in the Civil War, you know, defending the country and abolishing the scourge of slavery.
It's not our revolution where we fought for the very ideas of limited government freedom.
That's not it.
What we're fighting now is an ideology, a pernicious, dangerous, and historically deadly ideology that says that other men and women have been imbued with some special powers to reign over your life and take your liberty and to move forward.
unidentified
And this is somehow a benevolent way knighted by the Lord himself that these men should take control of your life.
Once we allow the left-leaning media, which is what most of them are, to paint conservative or liberty-based talk as inherently violent, what do you think the next step is?
The more we survive, the more we know it's the hand of God and the more historical it is.
unidentified
And the more it makes me love this place more than ever and want to fight because they want the symbol and they want to misrepresent and they want to steal not just my identity, but the idea of the InfoWar and claim it's theirs.
And they say that on national TV and in Wired magazine and all over the place.
unidentified
And they got caught in a fake auction.
And we sued them and got the depositions and emails where they admit, we're not going to let any company that keeps Jones on the air in Infowars have it.
So we're just going to not, we're going to cancel the auction and give it to these people.
In June of last year, the judge shut them down when they tried to close the Celtic.
unidentified
And he fired the U.S. Trustee for the Justice Department.
They brought another one and the CRO saying everything like that.
Then in November, they had the fake auction and he shut them down then.
That had nothing to do with Dan Bongino.
So just know, if they somehow get us shut down the next few months, which they're trying to do constantly, there's another hearing on the 16th in front of Gware Gamble that ran the show trials.
It'll work out, folks, because if people don't get indicted for what they've done, that's cut and dry.
I mean, cut and dry in the depositions, in the emails, we're not going to let anybody at the auction get InfoWars.
Of course not, because these are mostly old white people that aren't from Washington, D.C., that are either from the suburbs or from totally different states.
There were signs there, people that were holding that said Vermonters for a free D.C. You know, we're talking about cracking down on crime in one of the most dangerous or what was one of the most dangerous cities in the United States.
And you're having people come from out of state to protest those lives that are being saved in the nation's capital.
I mean, it's almost like a parody.
It just, it doesn't make look, we expected the Democrats to do this.
They always, as the saying goes, Trump could cure cancer, and Democrats would find a way to say that's a bad thing.
unidentified
It's very predictable.
But what's interesting about this entire situation is it's waking people up.
It's waking up regular run-of-the-mill, like maybe just a little bit left-of-center Democrats, like your average Democrats that are, you know, that the Democrat Party has essentially been leaving.
Washington, D.C., in the month of August, it's typically the deadliest, the bloodiest because the weather is nice and the teenagers are the youths, as they call them, are running around outside, totally lawless.
unidentified
And people end up getting murdered.
I mean, every single day in Washington, D.C., in August, you were hearing about murders previously in 2024 and years prior.
And now it's quiet at night.
Now you don't have to worry about being shot in the street.
They're from some affluent neighborhoods outside of D.C. You know, so it's absolutely wild.
They don't care about the pull the race card and say, oh, well, you know, well, we care about black people or whatever, you know, the whole 2020 riot situation.
Well, apparently they don't because they want to go back to the days where black people were being killed by each other at massive numbers with practically nothing being done about it.
You know, it seems like that whole narrative of Black Lives Matter has gone out the window.
They don't care about black lives.
They just made it pretty obvious, given what we're seeing in Washington, D.C., similar situations also happening in Chicago because they're afraid that their crime numbers are going to go to go down when President Trump sends in the feds to Chicago.
Now, we're already seeing a ramp up in federal agents being sent to Chicago, increase in ICE raids.
There is a naval base, naval station, Great Lakes, near Chicago, where the feds are now staging, where they're going to be running this operation out of.
And the real people of Chicago, especially people that are in crime-ridden neighborhoods, can't wait for that to happen.
So don't buy into any of this bullshit where People are saying, especially the left and the pundits are saying, oh, well, people don't actually want National Guard or federal agents patrolling the streets of their cities.
We wouldn't want that at this point.
I mean, especially if you're in a neighborhood where you see a murder every single night.
We saw, you know, at least, like, actually, I've got the figures right here where you've got President Trump this morning, actually, when he was boarding Marine One to go to New York.
unidentified
He actually hit back at the fake news that were saying that crime wasn't a problem in Chicago.
He said, you know how many people were killed in Chicago last weekend?
Eight.
You know how many people were killed in Chicago the week before?
In other news, President Trump continues to deliver on his promise to restore law and order to our nation's capital.
Since President Trump's intervention, there have been more than 1,283 arrests right here in the District of Columbia.
Total crime in D.C. is down 19% and violent crime is down 30%.
Carjackings in the district are down 67%.
Homicides are down 57%.
Robberies are down 40%.
Motor vehicle thefts are down 32%.
And assaults with dangerous weapons are down 23%.
And property crime is down 18%.
These numbers prove the president's bold actions to make D.C. safe and beautiful again are working, just like he said they would.
So how do you argue with that?
How do you say that that's not a success?
So this is the hill that the Democrats have chosen to die on, that crime is a good thing and that black people don't deserve protection.
I mean, how the tables have turned.
It's pretty amazing.
But I've said it time and time and again, many of you know I live in Washington, D.C. I live right near the U.S. Capitol building.
And even there, even there, I couldn't have my girlfriend go outside by herself, especially not at night, because she was either going to get robbed, you know, raped or shot like a congressional, a 21-year-old congressional staffer that was just killed in the streets two months ago.
Luckily, Janine Pirro just made the arrest of two youths, again, that would typically just be slapped on the wrist, sentenced to 24 hours in a yoga daycare studio or something, and then sent back out on the streets.
We're done with that.
We're going to be done with that in Chicago as well.
And I don't know if you guys have seen this, what's going on out in Portland.
It's been going on for years and years and years in Portland, Oregon, where total lawlessness.
Antifa essentially runs the place.
And it's crazy to even believe that this is a U.S. city.
President Trump also talked about sending, he saw the videos coming out from there last week.
I'm just saying this.
I don't have the videos queued up because I'm just talking off the top of my head right now, where riders were launching explosives like fireworks and other munitions at police officers.
Maybe that's going to be the next place we're going to send the National Guard.
Because the, I'm sorry, but the Pacific Northwest has been run by radical militant Antifa thugs for years now.
If you remember the Chaz, the autonomous zone, the communist autonomous zone out there that ended up, you know, failing miserably because homeless people came and stole all the food.
You know, nothing has changed since then.
Nothing has changed from when the police departments out there took a knee with Black Lives Matter.
So, look, we have plenty of National Guard troops.
Take all these blue cities and send them in there.
If the local governments don't want to get serious about protecting citizens, law-abiding citizens from violent criminals, we have to do something while we have the mandate to do it while President Trump is still in office.
It's time to do it.
It's time to stop talking about it.
Just send him in, 47.
We got your back on that.
This is what we want.
This is what the American people want.
And we'll be back right after this talking about strikes on Trende Aragua in the Gulf of America.
All right, welcome back to the Infowars Sunday briefing.
A lot of what we're going to be talking about happens to relate to Trende Aragua today.
As I mentioned, you know, we have an exclusive from Aurora, Colorado as well, that we're going to be playing a little bit later on in the show.
Last week, it happened during when President Trump was speaking in the Oval Office at one point.
He got interrupted with an aide to tell him that there was a successful strike on cartel members trafficking drugs from Venezuela to the United States.
And President Trump released the video of it as well.
I want to make sure you guys have actually seen this.
It's very important that for the context of what our military is being used for by President Trump, you saw this video released by the Department of Defense the same day that Trump announced the strike, where 11 Trende Aragua drug smugglers were eviscerated by President Trump in the Caribbean on the way to the United States of America.
You wouldn't think that this would be a particularly controversial instance of the use of our military, right?
But unfortunately, the left can't help themselves.
And they were very quick to condemn these strikes on Trende Aragua drug smugglers that are responsible for hundreds of thousands of American deaths every single year.
They would rather, I guess, our military be used for failed regime change wars in the Middle East rather than protecting American troops at home.
And they've been complaining going viral all over X, talking about lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters as a war crime and not self-defense.
Why is it not self-defense when we're talking about bringing in tens of thousands of pounds of fentanyl every single day, where a portion of fentanyl the size of or smaller than the size of your fingernail can kill you?
How is it not self-defense of our nation to take these people out?
Trump is going to walk these people into a trap by doing something that the vast majority of Americans support, which is defending our borders.
Trump was elected on that in flying colors, obviously.
That was pretty much the main issue in the last election.
unidentified
And of course, we have people, you know, like the Krassenstein brothers and such that are spending all their time melting down and crying over the fact that President Trump is defending the borders, not just from illegals and people trying to milk the system by coming into the United States, but from people that are literally trying to kill Americans.
So they have to make a boogeyman out of absolutely everything.
They have to scaremonger people.
unidentified
And, you know, the next thing, you know, the next talking point is going to end up being: well, if Trump is going to use the military against narco-terrorists, he's going to use it against you next, or something stupid.
That is the line that they've been towing with the crime in Washington, D.C., with the National Guard and the feds cracking down on violent criminals out there.
They've been telling people that, oh, Trump is coming for you.
Obviously, that's not true.
Obviously, that's not true.
Similar situation this morning when Trump was leaving the White House, a reporter said, Are you going to declare war on Chicago?
And President Trump berated her and pointed out the fact that she's scaremongering, that she's trying to make it so that people are just regular people that don't follow the news every day, that see these talking points from leftist sources like NBC, who's the one that asked that question, the reporter.
They want people to see that headline and think, oh my God, he actually is coming for me.
But the Democrats are going to try to convince you that there is no problem.
That this is all fine.
unidentified
Who cares if a few dozen people are murdered On a holiday weekend, who cares?
Yeah, that's that's pretty much the line that the Democrats are towing at this point.
But Trende Aragua from Venezuela has also the support of the narco-terrorists supported by the regime down there.
And President Trump has made pretty clear that he's not going to continue to be harassed by the narco-state of Venezuela and the narco-terrorists that are coming out of there smuggling drugs into the country.
He actually ordered 10 F-35 stealth fighters down to take on the cartels down there in the waters off the coast of Venezuela and could potentially even strike cartel targets within Venezuela.
Yeah, so President Trump obviously is not going to take any crap from the narco-terrorists nor the Venezuelan government, who is harassing U.S. naval operations down there that are trying to protect U.S. borders from drug smugglers and drug cartels funneling ungodly amounts of fentanyl into the United States, killing countless Americans.
This is one of the biggest problems that our country faces right now is the fentanyl crisis, an enemy country, China, Venezuela, and these narco-terrorists all pairing up to not just make money, but also take out Americans.
A lot of the people that are killed via fentanyl trafficking end up being military-aged men in the United States.
So this is more than just a drug trade for profit.
This is a war on the United States, a proxy war, essentially, by China and Venezuela.
So President Trump putting his foot down on that, not taking any crap.
unidentified
And, you know, let the Democrats continue towing this line that, oh, no, we should give due process to drug smugglers who are trying to kill Americans.
That's what we should be doing.
You know, we should be letting them into our country, not blowing them to Smith Lorenz.
And look, a lot of you remember this video that went super viral late last year, still under the Biden regime, where trendy Aragua thugs were patrolling apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado, harassing residents and sometimes even, you know, pretty much taking control of the property from the actual owner.
unidentified
And so, you know, I wanted to dig into this just a little bit because, you know, luckily, President Trump is now in charge and we can take care of these things.
How long has Trende Aragua been terrorizing the people of Aurora?
unidentified
Well, for a long time, but this problem goes way back to the Clinton administration when we would make a traffic stop in Aurora, Colorado, have illegals in the car, and nobody would come.
ICE wouldn't respond to pick them up and we'd have to release them.
We had no capability of stopping gang members or whoever they were from doing anything they wanted and law enforcement's hands were tied.
And that's the same problem that they're having today and that they had when, thank God, councilwoman Danielle Jarinski was there and she had the guts and courage to stand up where the police department wouldn't do the job.
So the police department knew that this problem was going on, that residents were being terrorized by Trende Aragua.
I mean, running this as like, I mean, I would expect this sort of behavior in like a cartel run city in Mexico, but it's happening here in an American city where we talked about, you and I talked about this offline a few days ago, where they were essentially like taking the property out of the hands of the landlords and bullying residents.
Yeah, so they would go in and take over a property, the gang would, and they would go in and take over the property and they would collect the rent and the owner of the property, the management company, couldn't get it.
And the police department had been notified.
The police and the, you know, listen, don't get me wrong, this is not the day-to-day street level cops that are the problem.
It goes down from the governor and the mayor of us living in a sanctuary state where they don't want these actions taken.
So the cops were actually out there that I was told by close friends that they went out there, they had the building surrounded, they were ready to go in and take action, and they got called off by the administration.
And then we were so blessed to have Danielle Jarinski, who is running for city council again and must be reelected.
This is what the conditions looked like inside of the apartment complex that Trende Aragua had taken over from the landlord and the police refused to do anything about.
I mean, it looks like a third world hellhole in the middle of an otherwise great American city and state.
I mean, it's ridiculous.
unidentified
But guys, if you can roll clip three, this is what it's going to look like.
This is what it looks like today.
Thank God, after all these years of being a Trende Aragua stronghold out there.
Right here.
This is what it looks like now.
Been boarded up.
It's gated off.
And it's the police cameras are all over the place and with no trespassing signs just littering the property.
Now, the reason it was condemned is because she brought it to light and she brought the media in and she gave it, she gave it an appearance that everything was bad.
unidentified
And then, of course, the greatest president in the history of America, Donald J. Trump came in and he heard about this and he said, hey, wait a minute, what's going on here?
Let's fix this.
And she came and spoke at a rally in Aurora and she blew the top off the thing.
And then the word was out to the world.
And we know the leftist socialist media, they wouldn't cover it.
And that building was condemned because law enforcement was not allowed to do the job that they need to do anymore in America.
We have disabled our cops from being able to do police work.
And so now there's somebody that's not getting paid.
It's not getting any income from that property.
And it's affecting the way it affects just keeps going down the hill all the way until our country's destroyed when we allow things to happen like this.
Even back when I worked there 20 five years ago, we would see hotels get condemned for drug trafficking and it was a problem.
Sorry about the little bit of a technical issue there in the last segment, Chief, but I don't know if you have heard of this story yet, but it's been going super viral.
unidentified
There was a woman who was a Ukrainian refugee on a train in Charlotte that was attacked by, you know, this guy.
Randomly, on the train, zero stories in the mainstream media.
Nothing.
Nobody is talking about it.
It's only being talked about on X. So if you haven't seen it, it's probably because you haven't been looking at X because all these stories that we heard about Daniel Penny, who saved a woman from being potentially killed on the train in New York, they attacked him, that Marine that was actually charged with murder.
They sent him to trial and everything, tried to ruin his life.
Countless of countless stories about him in the mainstream media.
Not one about this in the New York Times, CNN, Washington Post, MSNBC.
Law enforcement has diminished to such a place that guys are afraid of being cops anymore and doing their job.
And the days of active, proactive law enforcement are over.
Thanks to Donald J. Trump, they're on the way back up and we're seeing a rise in places like here in Colorado.
Douglas County is probably the single best sheriff's department.
And those guys still do law enforcement work because they have a fantastic sheriff there who's a great guy, Darren Weakley.
But in most of the places, you know, people are, it's turned into a job and they're pushing their patrol car around because there's too much risk.
The cops are getting arrested.
The cops are getting in trouble.
You know, Aurora just had another incident the other day and I haven't looked into it at all where they had to shoot a guy and everybody's up in arms.
Well, most of the time, what we find out is that that person deserved to get shot.
You know, if people would comply with police with their lawful orders and they would do what they're told, none of this stuff would happen.
But when we have people that refuse to comply, I mean, it's a cottage industry now to get pulled over and to videotape it and not do what the cops tell you to do.
But, you know, you saw a lot of the riots and stuff that happened in 2020 and such.
You know, the summer of love out there where that was based on lies, of course, unsurprisingly.
In my personal opinion, Barack Obama is the person that launched this race war back particularly during the Hands Up, Don't Shoot hoax in Ferguson, Missouri, when you had that violent thug, Michael Brown, trying to, you know, trying to go after this police officer, but there weren't any body cams at the time.
So, you know, he was able to, they were able to spin this narrative that he was shot in the back as he was running away.
So, you know, but what I want to ask you is, what's it going to take to show just your average one-of-the-mill American people that police officers aren't what the left is saying and what the Democrats are saying?
Or have we already gotten back to that point?
Have the majority of people finally learned that the whole BLM thing and the race war created by Barack Obama was actually a hoax?
I think the lies that have been told have been dug deep.
And there are still a lot of people out there that believe these things.
They believe that all law enforcement's evil, no matter what.
unidentified
Of course, we're the first people they call when they're in trouble, but they think we're evil.
And so, you know, it's shocking, but we are not there yet.
We are not even close to there yet.
What has to happen is these cities, these towns have to bring in proper mayors because the mayors appoint the chief of police and the chief of police is then under the gun to do what they need to do.
He just came out here about a month ago, three weeks ago, had a wonderful hearing in federal court.
unidentified
And Peter Ticton's a phenomenal lawyer.
By the way, he was President Trump's roommate in military school, boarding school.
So, you know, he might have a direct pipeline to the president.
So the federal judges are on their tippy toes, making sure they do the right thing because President Trump can control what goes on in the federal courts.
