All right, this is the InfoWorks Sunday briefing. | |
| I am Nick Sorter, and typically I don't like the story to be about myself as a journalist. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I go out and find stories. | |
| I don't create them, except for, I guess, this week in Portland, one of the biggest stories this week was, of course, me being arrested by Portland police. | ||
| People that I honestly, like typically, I'm usually a very pro-police sort of person. | ||
| The Portland police are a totally different story. | ||
| And that's actually one of the reasons I was out here to begin with, is because the Portland police pretty much just ceded the entire city of Portland to Antifa thugs, which is wild considering this is a major American city. | ||
| It's very, very beautiful out here, but it's a totally different territory than something like Chicago or New York. | ||
|
unidentified
|
As you guys saw, I guess, they eventually got a little bit upset with me and hauled me off to jail for what? | |
| They say it was disorderly conduct, disorderly conduct. | ||
| Like the, you know, setting fires in the street and screaming into megaphones at three o'clock in the morning is not disorderly, according to the Portland police, but being a conservative reporter is definitely disorderly in their book. | ||
| That is a threat to the order that they have in their city, which they want to be a left-wing hellhole. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so, you know, that's how they chalked it up as disorderly. | |
| But I want to play part of this part of this clip here that actually shows what happened prior to me being taken into custody. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This clip happened directly. | |
| This was the only activity that really occurred before the arrest. | ||
| Segment two, clip one, guys. | ||
| Just all cut out. | ||
| You can see this. | ||
| I mean, I can't say it anywhere anywhere else. | ||
| This is a radical leftist trammy that is pushing me as I'm trying to walk down the sidewalk to my car, blocking my path. | ||
| You see the other ones start surrounding me. | ||
| This one takes a swing at me. | ||
| I swing back, miss, and then I get pushed into the recessed flower bed here. | ||
| At no point did I hit anybody as much as I would have liked to in that situation. | ||
| Clearly was not the aggressor. | ||
| But I end up the one in handcuffs, of course, because this is Portland, Oregon, a city that needs to be taken back by President Trump. | ||
| They have gotten significantly more, the feds anyway, have gotten significantly more aggressive this week following my arrest. | ||
| I know I personally got out of jail. | ||
| You can hear my voice is pretty raspy because, you know, lots of tear gas deployed, lots of crowd control munitions deployed. | ||
| So I have a little bit of trouble talking right now. | ||
| But Harmeet Dylan was ordered by Pam Bondi to open up an investigation into the Portland Police Department. | ||
| And Harmeet Dylan's already been making the rounds talking about it. | ||
| I've spoken to Harmeet personally multiple times about the investigation. | ||
| So, and she went on TV, she went on Newsmax to sort of discuss it in a little bit more detail. | ||
| That's clip two, guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You just announced the official civil rights investigation into the Portland Police Bureau. | |
| What can you tell us about your investigation thus far? | ||
| Well, thank you for having me today. | ||
| And this is indeed the type of rapid response that Americans have gotten used to from our Department of Justice under Pam Bondi. | ||
| She called me this morning about this. | ||
| I'd already been following the case. | ||
| And within a couple of hours, we'd opened up our investigation. | ||
| So here's the background. | ||
| Portland Police Department has absolutely failed to protect the people of Portland going back well over a decade. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They've been in the crosshairs in the United States Department of Justice dating back to 2010. | |
| A federal consent decree was actually issued against Portland's police department in 2012. | ||
| They tried to delay it up by a couple of years, but it went into effect 11 years ago in 2014. | ||
| Since that time, as we've all seen on the television, there have been numerous riots with Antifa over the last five years. | ||
| And while Portland was temporarily sort of in the about to get out of the consent decree phase, because of its failure to properly arrest people, document what was happening on the streets, keep people safe, they haven't gotten out from under the consent decree. | ||
| So what we're doing today is actually under the purview of an existing federal consent decree over bad police practices. | ||
| And we issued a very detailed letter this morning demanding to know why a journalist was arrested, why a second journalist, a Katie Davis Court, who was viciously assaulted earlier this week, where the police had the assailants temporarily in custody and let them go and did nothing about it. | ||
| Why does it seem like the Portland police are actually working for Antifa as opposed to the people of Portland? | ||
| Yeah, and so I want to jump into Katie Davis Court as well. | ||
| We'll get back to the circumstances surrounding my arrest as well, but Harmeet Dylan, part of her investigation into the Portland police goes back to Katie Daviscourt, which is a post-millennial reporter that was beat with a flagpole earlier this week that gave her a huge swollen black eye. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And just in case you guys haven't seen it, I want to play that clip too. | |
| It's a segment two, clip three. | ||
| Stop trucking that ass right. | ||
| Because he wasn't the January 6th. | ||
| Five, five. | ||
| Five, five. | ||
| Three, six, five. | ||
| Okay, and then let's She just hit me in the face. | ||
| We'll jump into clip four here. | ||
| So this is what happened to the assailant. | ||
| That was very clear. | ||
| They knew exactly who it was in this video, the assailant. | ||
| And this is how Portland police handled it. | ||
| put before guys Yes. | ||
| Jan Smart backpack. | ||
| That one. | ||
| Do not touch her. | ||
| Do not touch me. | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| I just said that to her. | ||
| I'm under edge. | ||
| Do not touch her. | ||
| Do not touch her. | ||
| Do not touch me. | ||
| I am on the right. | ||
| I just, just incredible. | ||
| I, I, It's really hard to believe how inept these some of the cops are inept. | ||
| Some of them are just taking orders or whatever. | ||
| But what you just saw here was a Portland police officer detain one of the Antifa rioters, the one that beat Katie Davis Court with a pole. | ||
| And then she said, no, I'm not detained. | ||
| And then just walked away. | ||
| And the Portland cop did nothing about it. | ||
| Nothing. | ||
| They still haven't been arrested. | ||
| They were escorted to a local Antifa safe house where they were able to get off scot-free on everything. | ||
| So this goes much further, just beyond myself. | ||
| How many other people have, especially conservatives, have suffered at the hands of the Portland Police Department, but don't have a voice, don't have a platform to get that out. | ||
| That's one of the biggest things that I'm concerned about. | ||
| And that's one of the things that the DOJ is going to be looking into. | ||
| So Portland may be looking at an inflection point here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I've spoken with many residents who are super excited about the fact that the DOJ is coming in and that this has caused a much, much greater federal response. | |
| And I'll talk about that on the other side of the upcoming break here after I get a little bit of water. | ||
| But I'm telling you that the residents is a nearby apartment complex that has been suing the city for not enforcing the noise ordinance outside because they can't sleep at night because of all the megaphones and the screaming and everything coming from these rioters that are in the street. | ||
| You know, this issue goes a lot deeper than just what we've seen over the past week. | ||
| And yeah, we'll get into that here right after the break. | ||
| Stay tuned, InfoWars Sunday briefing. | ||
| All right, welcome back to the Info Sunday briefing. | ||
| Now, we've been digging into the Portland Police Department here a little bit. | ||
| And I wanted to give you just sort of another idea of how things here are going with the Portland Police Department and just how, in reality, how ballless these people are. | ||
| And I hate to say that about police officers, but that's just how it is out here. | ||
| I mean, personally, if I was being ordered to do the things that they are, I would quit, but that's just because I love my country. | ||
| Anyway, I want to go into this from yesterday. | ||
| They basically just handed over control of the roads in Portland to Antifa, gave them relegated traffic duties even to Trantifa folks and allowed them to block businesses. | ||
| And actually, I had the manager of the spaghetti factory coming out and complaining because there's only one road into his restaurant and these clowns closed it. | ||
| But Portland police did nothing about it. | ||
| I want to roll clip two there. | ||
| Just kind of set the scene here a little bit. | ||
| Trantifa telling people to turn around while Portland police just watch. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Keep in mind guys this is a this has been going on for a hundred days now. | |
| We're stocked up right now. | ||
| 100 days now. | ||
| This is not a permitted protest or anything. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is the manager of the spaghetti factory coming in and telling them, like, you got to let them. | |
| And this is the only way to get in there. | ||
| Yeah, let me go tell them if people are trying, when they're talking to them, hey, if they're trying to go to spaghetti factory, but three. | ||
| We're okay with left-hand turning. | ||
| Problem is, we don't know. | ||
| Well, I understand there's no permit. | ||
| That's sort of the problem. | ||
| I guess I don't know why they're allowed to control traffic as to who goes which direction. | ||
| Well, it's their event, so there's better people in people. | ||
| Okay, but they're okay. | ||
| All right, I guess we'll find out here. | ||
| I understand where you're coming from. | ||
| It's just, yeah, I mean, you guys are the police. | ||
| Correct, but we have a different task to do. | ||
| So we can only do so much with four people. | ||
| But there are like 10 other cops that just went by. | ||
| Different three of the other rest. | ||
| Real quick, Gather. | ||
| So the Spaghetti Factory, this is currently their only way for customers again. | ||
| So you guys are talking to people if they're wanting to go that way. | ||
| You're going to spaghetti factory left to plan. | ||
| So, you know, guys, I mean, I don't know how else to put it, but at a minimum, these guys have been cucked by Antifa. | ||
| The Portland police has been cucked by Antifa. | ||
| I mean, they treat them with kid gloves, don't allow, you know, everyday citizens to go about their lives without these Antifa people somehow having a say in how they go about their daily lives. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's really wild. | |
| It's crazy. | ||
| And that's because they're scared. | ||
| They're scared of these Antifa thugs. | ||
| So they, you know, they just pretty much let them do whatever they want to. | ||
| That's why they assault journalists and officers and vandalize property constantly. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, the whole place around there looks like a third world hellhole at this point with the Antifa thugs being able to get away with absolutely anything. | |
| But I want to roll just quickly into this clip here that some people believe that this is actually what I was arrested for. | ||
| And Portland police, just for whatever reason, don't want to admit it. | ||
| I'll let you watch it and be the judge. | ||
| We'll find out. | ||
| We'll find out. | ||
| I've got attorneys on the case and everything. | ||
| Segment two, clip five, guys. | ||
| We got a Trump supporter. | ||
| We got a Trump supporter. | ||
| Oh, he's putting it on the ground and he's making it worse. | ||
| I'm not supposed to stand on it. | ||
| Oh, I know. | ||
| I think he's saving it. | ||
| I'm not supposed to stand on it. | ||
| Saving the American flag from being burned in the street by these goons. | ||
| I mean, just in general, I mean, putting out a fire that is being set by a bunch of, you know, wannabe militants, I think would be the proper response anyway, let alone a flag. | ||
| So, I mean, I saw it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I walked up. | |
| I got, you know, ticked about what I was seeing. | ||
| So I ripped the flag out of his hand and put the fire out and then took the flag. | ||
| Like, I took the flag back with me. | ||
| I still have the flag. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Still in my car. | |
| And this pissed off this anti-American crowd and probably pissed off the anti-American police department that's there as well. | ||
| This is really the only thing that I can even fathom that they would be able to try to get me on is pulling the burning flag out of somebody's hand. | ||
| That's the extent of real physical contact that I initiated with anybody at all. | ||
| And if that's what they want to go after me for, bring it on. | ||
| Seriously, bring it on. | ||
| They're going to really show their ass on this one. | ||
| And it's not going to be pretty. | ||
| Even in pretty liberal Portland, I'd say mostly, unless you're a radical leftist, you typically don't agree with people setting fires in the streets. | ||
| So, but what we were promised by Christy Noam, Secretary Christy Noam, following this following this arrest, she promised to surge federal resources into the area immediately. | ||
| And that she freaking did. | ||
| Segment three, clip one. | ||
| What did you get? | ||
| Stop casting, my neighbor! | ||
| Okay, congratulations, you conquered any intersection. | ||
| You know what? | ||
| Okay, this is really stupid. | ||
| This is not the case, this is illegal! | ||
| Blackhawks in the sky, snipers on the rooftop. | ||
| The feds made more arrests yesterday than I think I have seen this whole week. | ||
| They actually brought in more agents. | ||
| They about doubled their agent count last night and were able to clear the streets all the way. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, literally probably two blocks in each direction. | |
| They were able to clear these goons out to last night, which was an incredible scene. | ||
| And that's actually why I'm struggling to speak now is because of all the tear gas and everything that I inhaled during that pushback. | ||
| I mean, which is fine. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm willing to take that. | |
| I'm not complaining about that. | ||
| But we'll get more into this right after the break. | ||
| Info War's Sunday briefing will be right back. | ||
| All right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I've been really appreciative of the outpouring of support that I've gotten from so many different people, so many walks of life. | |
| And I'm glad that this is, I guess, metaphorically speaking, has lit a fire, unlike the people in the street that are literally setting fire. | ||
| And so I got a text message from President Trump, actually, yesterday, or the day that I got out of jail after I was on Laura Ingram's show. | ||
| He apparently really liked the segment. | ||
| He said, Nick, I saw you on television. | ||
| Great job. | ||
| We are behind you 100%. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Let us know if there's anything we can do. | |
| President DJT. | ||
| And yeah, I said, surge the troops. | ||
| That's what we need out here. | ||
| That's one of the many things that we need out here. | ||
| But I mean, we also need the elections fixed out here to stop this crap from happening. | ||
| But we're going to roll that segment that President Trump liked so much that he wanted to shoot a text to me afterward. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You guys have that queued up. | |
| Nick, tell us what happened exactly. | ||
| And it's crazy. | ||
| The entire day has been crazy. | ||
| I mean, it's still the same day as yesterday for me because I've been up all night because I was stuffed in a jail. | ||
| And the jail here in Portland, weirdly empty because they don't actually arrest criminals around here. | ||
| Just people like me that, you know, report on what's actually going on on the ground out here. | ||
| I am next to the ICE facility. | ||
| I'm on federal property right now, and Portland police won't dare step foot on federal property, as we know. | ||
| But, you know, Joey, we know that these Antifa thugs hate to be filmed in general. | ||
| They hate it even more when you film them while they're screaming and crying because they were just mace because they effed around and found out by pushing federal agents. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You know, they're not as tough as they want you to believe that they are. | |
| And so, you know, the last thing they want is for you to for somebody like me to film them while they're crying with mace in their eyes. | ||
| So unfortunately for them, I have a First Amendment right as an American citizen. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I can film them in public on the sidewalk, and there's nothing they can do about it. | |
| So that's why they broke down. | ||
| I wouldn't go away. | ||
| I wouldn't stop filming them. | ||
| And so they got violent and aggressive and they started punching me. | ||
| They started, they broke my camera. | ||
| And somehow that's criminal on my part. | ||
| Haven't figured that part out yet. | ||
| You know, Nick, a lot has been made about the fact that you were kind of reporting on the police not responding. | ||
| They were burning American flags, getting, I don't know, antsy, I guess. | ||
| You were just reporting on the police and kind of what you would say is not being lax about it. | ||
| Then all of a sudden you get arrested. | ||
| Now, I know there's a tussle there. | ||
| And if we watch football, it's the guy that shoves last that gets the flag called on him. | ||
| What is your perspective on this? | ||
| Do you think that the police knew who you were, arrested you because of it? | ||
| Or do you think that you were just the last one kind of swinging there and that's why they grabbed you? | ||
| Well, considering the fact that they don't arrest anybody here ever, especially, you know, Daniel, you saw Katie Davis court with that black eye that she got. | ||
| You know, the police followed the assailant and did nothing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They just let them go, right? | |
| Now all of a sudden they change it when I am here, when a conservative journalist is on the ground, you know, exposing what's actually going on. | ||
| Is that just a coincidence? | ||
| How did that just happen all of a sudden? | ||
| I mean, I don't really think it is a coincidence, unfortunately, Joey. | ||
| But, you know, because I didn't have very glowing reviews for them on Laura's show last night when I was here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it took them over an hour to figure out what the charge was. | |
| They arrested me. | ||
| They put me in the back of the police car. | ||
| We parked on the side of the road for a while. | ||
| And then after about an hour, they're like, okay, yeah, we'll charge them with disorderly conduct. | ||
| So, which is, if what I was doing is disorderly, what do you call people with megaphones at three o'clock in the morning lighting fires in the middle of the street? | ||
| Did you notice when the police got there, were the protesters, were they pointing their ire at all police, at the local police as well, or did they keep it on ICE? | ||
| Like, did you see any type of, I don't know if it's relationship, or did the protesters say, oh, they're on our side, let's keep it pushing towards ICE? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Or describe some of that to us. | |
| Yeah, so they really don't seem to have any ill will toward the Portland police, but why would they? | ||
| The Portland police have been running cover for them for years now. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's like they're in the pocket of Antifa. | |
| You know, when you've got these, you know, Bill Melugin, he was here for a few days as well, talking to these liaisons that they have, these liaison officers that they station around here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They are supposed to only intervene in cases of imminent death, right? | |
| So if you're getting beat in the street until you're, you know, unconscious and bleeding out, they're not going to step in. | ||
| I mean, they'll tell you that if you ask them. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And so the Antifa people have gotten used to it where there is no action from Portland police. | |
| So yeah, they feel like they're on the same side at this point. | ||
| And especially, you know, you should have heard the cheers from the crowd when I was arrested. | ||
| You know, they loved that. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Are you out there alone and unafraid? | |
| Actually, I think we got a video real quick of you pulling the American flag. | ||
|
unidentified
|
If we have that, I'd like to play it. | |
| And yeah, let's play that real quick. | ||
| We got a Trump supporter. | ||
| We got a Trump supporter right here. | ||
| Oh, my God. | ||
| Oh, he's putting it on the ground and he's making it worse. | ||
| And now we stand. | ||
| Oh, he's standing on it. | ||
| You're not supposed to stand on it. | ||
| Oh, no, he thinks you're saving it. | ||
| Okay, so it looks like one of the flying monkeys from "Wizard of Oz" was trying to tell you that you made it worse. | ||
| Were there any other counter-protesters out there? | ||
| Are you the only person there with common sense that cares about the American flag, that understands that ICE has a job to do? | ||
|
unidentified
|
I mean, were you there alone and unafraid in that? | |
| So I definitely wasn't there alone. | ||
| There were some counter-protesters, but in terms of, you know, maybe I'm built a little bit differently, right? | ||
| I was willing to run into that and grab that flag, put that fire out. | ||
| And I still, I actually have that flag now. | ||
| It's in the back of my car. | ||
| I posted a photo of it. | ||
| Actually, Bill Malushan took a photo of me with it earlier in front of the ICE facility. | ||
| And I still have it. | ||
| I'm going to bring it home with me. | ||
| And I'll, you know, cherish it the way that it should be cherished. | ||
| These people, they hate our country. | ||
| They hate our flag. | ||
| They hate everything that we're about. | ||
| I'm telling you right now, Joey, this place doesn't feel like the United States of America anymore. | ||
| It feels like a third world communist country. | ||
| And that's the way that the government out here treats the citizens as well. | ||
| I mean, people like me are not welcome here by the government. | ||
| They literally threw me in jail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They want to intimidate us into shutting up and going away and not coming here because, you know, it's pretty obvious to the American people when you show them what's actually going on here on the ground. | |
| This is like a 90-10 issue. | ||
| Well, you know, at least the people would not support what's going on here. | ||
| I mean, I guess you got into a tussle there later on, but they didn't give much of a fight when you grabbed the flag. | ||
| At least you're able to do all right. | ||
| And actually, on this topic a little bit, we did get a little bit of breaking news here. | ||
| So last night, the Oregon, one of the judges out here in Oregon, one of the activists, of course, blocked President Trump from deploying the National Guard because that activist judge, of course, wants to make, you know, the DHS agents and stuff that are out here take them off immigration raids and make them have to protect their own federal facilities. | ||
| So President Trump has decided that he is going to deploy not Oregon's National Guard, but California's National Guard, which he already has been fighting in court with Gavin Newsom over using those troops to protect federal facilities. | ||
| So 300 California National Guard's been on the way here to Portland, Oregon, as we speak to hopefully relieve ICE and DHS and Border Patrol agents from having to waste their time protecting the federal facilities out here. | ||
| Because again, they could be out on the streets doing immigration raids rather than having to just, you know, guard their facility. | ||
| That sounds like a good use for the National Guard. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
| It doesn't sound very controversial to me, but they are supposedly going to be here today. | ||
| And if that's the case, it's going to get spicy out here tonight, guys. | ||
| It's going to be spicy out here. | ||
| And I'm going to try to get something for my throat and get back out there. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Maybe a mask or something. | |
| I hate masks, but I guess I got to wear it. | ||
| I'll be back with David Pollack coming up right after the break. | ||
| All right. | ||
| And just to kind of keep going over that news here with President Trump deploying the National Guard from California into Oregon, right after the show is over, I'm going to try to go and find them, actually, because they apparently are here somewhere already from California. | ||
| Gavin Newsom throwing an absolute fit over it, of course, as usual, saying that he is suing President Trump for silencing speech of rioters, I guess. | ||
| I mean, pretty crazy stuff here. | ||
| But I want to bring in David Pollock, who follows this, follows news in general very, very closely. | ||
| He's a guy I have a lot of respect for, hosts some of the best X spaces on the platform. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And he's also an attorney, David Pollock. | |
| I want to bring you in now. | ||
| Welcome to the show. | ||
| Hey, brother. | ||
| Actually, you host the best X spaces on the platform. | ||
| I learned from you. | ||
| Yeah, you look like you're in a much nicer place than I am right now. | ||
| And it looks like there's a lot less tear gas in the air. | ||
| Well, there's no tear gas. | ||
| It's a nice breeze. | ||
| I'm out here in Florida. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And listen, I wish I could be there with you guys. | |
| I saw Chad Cagin got down there yesterday and he's having fun with you guys. | ||
| Look, I respect what you do, man. | ||
| And I've always told you, you're one of the best independent journalists out there. | ||
| And you always go right where the story is. | ||
| And then they're making you the story because they don't want you telling the truth out there. | ||
| And so what you're doing out there, look, you're coughing, you're gas. | ||
| I hope the people realize that what they're watching is that's what real journalism looks like. | ||
| Not the fake CBS reporters with their gas masks on, pretending that federal officers are doing things inappropriate. | ||
| It's guys like you going out there, getting the real story, getting attacked for it, and then bringing that information to the people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's so important what you do and what people are able to see now. | |
| This is real journalism. | ||
| And this is what platforms like InfoWars and Acts give us the opportunity to come out there and show people what's really going on. | ||
| So, Nick, kudos to you, man. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I would be out there breathing that gas with you if I could be, trust me. | |
| I really appreciate you, David. | ||
| And I think that's why they are so openly hostile. | ||
| The Portland police are so openly hostile toward reporters, not just arresting them like me, but also not protecting them when it comes to punishing people who physically harm them, like Katie Davis Court. | ||
| But I want to know from you, David, your thoughts on this. | ||
| President Trump has been once again blocked by some activist judge out here from deploying the Oregon National Guard to protect the federal facilities out here that are under siege literally every single night. | ||
| But now he's deploying the California National Guard, 300 troops into Oregon today. | ||
| They're on their way right now, apparently. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's for Gavin Newsom. | |
| What are your thoughts on this, David? | ||
| Well, look, I think they underestimate President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They keep thinking he's not able to do the things that he knows he's legally able to do. | |
| He surrounds himself by the smartest people, the smartest lawyers. | ||
| He knows what's within his authority. | ||

And these activist judges can try to block certain aspects of what he's trying to do, but he's going to find a way. | |
| And this is a great example of Trump finding a way. | ||
| And look at what they're blocking. | ||
| They're blocking federal, President Trump, bringing in federal resources to help the Portland police stop people from breaking the law and committing essentially an insurrection. | ||
| So you really have to ask, and you've been covering this perfectly, whose side are the Portland police on? | ||
| Whose side are the governor and the mayor? | ||
|
unidentified
|
And we've seen what they've said. | |
| There's no violence here. | ||
| There's no reason. | ||
| We don't need help here. | ||
| Everything's just fine here. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yet, people like you are on the ground showing the real story that it's not fine. | |
| And National Guard troops need to be there to protect Americans like you. | ||
| And look, Armine Dylan says she's personally going to look into your arrest. | ||
| And why not? | ||
| You have civil rights just like anybody else, right? | ||
| And they're violating your civil rights by throwing you in jail for causes they don't even know why they're throwing you in jail. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And the federal government has the authority and not only that, the obligation to defend Americans anywhere in the United States when their civil rights are being violated. | |
| So President Trump is doing what he has to do, sending the National Guard is the right move. | ||
| And look, the court has made it clear the National Guard can't really engage in policing activities per se. | ||
| What they can do is protect the federal officers, protect the federal facilities, and in doing that, they'll protect the people and journalists like yourself around those facilities. | ||
|
unidentified
|
This is the best move. | |
| Yeah, and I think it's long overdue. | ||
| I mean, at what point do you, and I don't know the legality behind this, but at some point it was like, okay, if he's going to keep getting blocked by the courts from deploying National Guard, when do you just deploy active duty? | ||
| When do you deploy Marines to the streets? | ||
| I don't see anything bad about that at this point. | ||
| You know, that you have the radical left that'll yell, scream, and whine about troops in the streets. | ||
| But at this point, David, this is my thought: they want these DHS agents, these ICE agents, these border patrol agents to be tied up and distracted from being able to go out and conduct raids, much-needed raids in the streets here in Portland and really elsewhere. | ||
| Because it seems like there's what exactly is the National Guard for if it's not for this? | ||
| I don't understand. | ||
| You know, not even protecting federal facilities. | ||
| Is that the argument here? | ||
| I think, well, you're exactly right. | ||
| This is exactly what you use the National Guard for to maintain order. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And look, the police department should be enforcing their laws. | |
| And this is the issue. | ||
| You have the Portland Police Department not enforcing their laws, but instead almost enforcing the laws of Antifa. | ||
| And this is the problem. | ||
| And so when local law enforcement can't or won't do what's necessary to protect peace and security and safety, the National Guard has that obligation. | ||
| That is exactly right. | ||
| That's what they're there for. | ||
| They're there to help in times where the local police departments may not be equipped to handle it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that seems to be the case here. | |
| Now, more so than that, what troubles me is it seems that the reason why the Portland Police Department is standing down, the reason why they're hassling you, we've seen this in Chicago as well. | ||
| The police there unwilling to assist National Guards when they're being attacked by terrorists, essentially. | ||
|
unidentified
|
But I think, unfortunately, some of these mayors, some of these governors, these local leaders, they want this. | |
| I think they want this violence. | ||
| I think they're encouraging it. | ||
| I think they're inciting it. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And if they impeach and tried to charge President Trump federally with January 6th and inciting an insurrection, certainly the behavior we're seeing right now in Oregon and Illinois, this certainly meets that same criteria. | |
| So, hey, look, rule for thee and not for me. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'd like to see our Justice Department start investigating government Pritzker out in Chicago. | |
| I would like, or in Illinois, I'd like to see the local leadership in Portland. | ||
| If they're asking their officers to stand down or harass journalists, I'd like to see charges filed. | ||
| Look, just because you're an elected official and just because you're elected by a state doesn't give you the right to violate federal law. | ||
| And so, look, they're the ones who set the standard that nobody's above the law. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And it seems here they're trying to act above the law and in that, violate people's civil rights. | |
| And so, the National Guard needs to be sent in. | ||
| Look, the Marines and military would be very limited at what they can do. | ||
|
unidentified
|
They would only be able to protect federal property. | |
| And unfortunately, we would be putting them in like almost like a peacekeeper's role, which makes it dangerous because as we've seen, they're ramming vehicles, they're bringing weapons, explosives, guns. | ||
| It really makes it dangerous for them in that situation. | ||
| What we really need to do is use our Justice Department to hold people accountable for allowing anarchy and allowing innocent Americans to be attacked. | ||
| Yeah, and I don't know if you heard about this, David, in Chicago, which is also a total hellhole. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| ICE agents yesterday were rammed by someone and boxed in, forced to deploy their weapons. | ||
| And the woman that rammed them ended up being armed. | ||
| And the Chicago Police Department and the Broadview Police Department refused to assist agents that were under attack in the city yesterday. | ||
| I mean, talk about wild. | ||
| I mean, you're having agents being like literally there's a video of it somewhere. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I haven't found it just yet, but of them being surrounded by these goons and attacked by them. | |
| And they call them protesters that were shot. | ||
| That's the headlines that they're going to use, is that a protester was shot. | ||
| You know, we're not going to mention the fact that the Border Patrol agents were literally attacked by these people. | ||
| I mean, where does this end, David? | ||
| It's not ending, unfortunately. | ||
| It's just beginning. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And I think they're wanting this to go much further. | |
| This was a fight that they've been asking for since Trump got elected. | ||
| Remember, they tried this early on after Trump was elected with the Mexican flags and all this. | ||
| We really need to find out who is funding these people. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And that's the key, because you're exactly right. | |
| We saw what happened yesterday with that ramming attack. | ||
| We have to find out who's funding it, who's organizing it, because I think it's just the beginning. | ||
| It's going to get much worse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Now you're seeing people calling for additional violence and nothing's happening to those people. | |
| So I think really what needs to happen is we need to start finding out who's organizing because it will get much worse. | ||
| And I worry for our journalists. | ||
| I worry for our officers. | ||
| I worry for our National Guardsmen because this can't keep going on like this. | ||
| These guys are just doing their job. | ||
| These are mothers and fathers. | ||
|
unidentified
|
These are Americans just doing it with the constitutional, their constitutional duty. | |
| And by the way, these people, these illegal aliens, they are not allowed to be just roaming around the country. | ||
| The law requires them to be detained. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So they're just doing their job. | |
| This is getting dangerous for them and the anarchy has to stop. | ||
