| Horrific murder has gone viral. | ||
| It's the biggest story in the country right now. | ||
| Democrats aren't talking about it. | ||
| The liberal mainstream media is not talking about it. | ||
| And likely because it is well, most people make the assumption, a black man brutally murdered a young white woman. | ||
| People believe that it is predominantly the race. | ||
| As is the reason why the story is not getting national coverage except on social media. | ||
| When you look at the Daniel Penny story, you had a black man on a train threatening to kill people. | ||
| And Penny stopped this man. | ||
| And unfortunately, this man lost his life. | ||
| Penny was not trying to kill him. | ||
| Didn't even know he was dead. | ||
| They tried to put him in prison for the rest of his life. | ||
| We have another story. | ||
| The story that you're seeing right now on the screen, for those that are watching, is not in fact about Irina Zarutska. | ||
| Who was brutally murdered on the train. | ||
| It's about a veterinary professor who was also stabbed to death in a similar fashion while walking her dog in a park. | ||
| Another story just happened. | ||
| Very similarly. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| This one's actually getting a little bit of coverage. | ||
| Now, are the big players sharing this? | ||
| They're not. | ||
| It's not going viral among these big news outlets. | ||
| They're not talking about it. | ||
| They ignore these stories. | ||
| So now we have, in the span of a couple of days, two big stories. | ||
| One, a young woman was leaving work, went on a train, and was mercilessly stabbed and brutally murdered for no reason. | ||
| Donald Trump has called this out. | ||
| He says this is going to stop. | ||
| And then, this morning, another breaking story. | ||
| On Saturday, a professor was walking her dog in a park when a black man stabbed her to death. | ||
| Seemingly for no reason. | ||
| Stole her car, abandoned it, and flood. | ||
| The question is why? | ||
| Now, I may surprise you to find that people actually put up fundraisers for the ex-con who was accused of murder. | ||
| He's on video doing it. | ||
| People were actually trying to raise money for this guy. | ||
| Now, why is the media covering this up? | ||
| There's another component of the story. | ||
| And when Axios, corporate outlet, finally does talk about this, they say it fuels the MAGA agenda. | ||
| That MAGA has latched onto this murder for their crime narrative. | ||
| Wow, no, I think it was just kind of a brutal murder in public that didn't have to happen. | ||
| With people sitting around watching this young woman lose her life. | ||
| And it didn't have to happen because the man who is seen on video raising his arm and killing her. | ||
| He had been arrested before and he could have been locked up. | ||
| And now we have another story already. | ||
| Donald Trump has put out a statement saying that Chicago will learn why we call it the Department of War. | ||
| And Democrats say he's declaring war on us. | ||
| Ridiculous. | ||
| It's making a stupid joke. | ||
| Now I'm uh I'm eternally grateful to the president for bringing the focus onto Chicago, my hometown. | ||
| I'm from the Garfield Ridge area of Chicago. | ||
| We never called it that. | ||
| We just call it Midway, because where the airport is. | ||
| But the actual name is Garfield Ridge. | ||
| And it it's prominent gang territory. | ||
| Uh not the worst part of Chicago, but certainly uh closer to the bad side. | ||
| When people say South Side, they tend to refer to like, I don't know, 45th and Talstead, maybe, or closer to 95th. | ||
| Southwest Side Midway isn't the worst, but it is still one of the historic gang areas in Chicago. | ||
| And so we'll be joined later on by a woman from Chicago running for Congress who agrees with the president. | ||
| And uh I also from Chicago agree with the president, and we want to see our city protected. | ||
| But first, I need to tell you about what's going on with this crime and why we need something to change. | ||
| Now, this story about this uh Auburn professor is just breaking this morning, despite happening on Saturday, and it's not as uh far and wide as the Arena Zarutska story, which has become the biggest story in the country, as it should. | ||
| There's other stories, I think uh this one in particular, you do need to know about. | ||

| I thought I was doing pretty all right. | ||
| I was sleeping not too much. | ||
| I wasn't sleeping enough hours, and I thought I was okay. | ||
| I increased the, I was like, let me give myself an extra hour of sleep. | ||
| I'll try to go to bed earlier. | ||

| I get beam dream. | ||

| I got energy. | ||
| I did not know my sleep could have improved. | ||
| And to be honest, for me, I think it's the magnesium. | ||

| Community events, our official newsletter, and the community where you guys can share ideas, build things together. | ||
| Community is the most important thing we can do right now with population collapse, with with all of the troubles that we are facing going forward in the future. | ||
| The most important thing is creating bonds between you and other people in your community and having that community. | ||
| I ain't even kidding. | ||
| I'm not even kidding. | ||
| I'm talking to everybody I know about this. | ||
| Like if you're opening a skate shop, if you're open a game shop, if you're open up burger joint, you need to focus on your local community and get people to come consistently to share ideas and to be connected. | ||
| Otherwise, we are in trouble. | ||
| But let's jump to the news, my friends from the New York Post. | ||
| Pite-sized Auburn veterinary professor hacked to death by fiend while walking her dog in the park. | ||
| Now, I don't want to downplay this story because I want to get to the big news about Irina Zarutska and how the media has ignored this. | ||
| And I believe it is only because of the arena story, this poor young woman, that we are learning about this poor veterinarian professor who was brutally murdered. | ||
| Julie Gardschl, 59, a professor in Auburn, I believe Auburn, Alabama, was hacked to death. | ||
| She had driven to the park with her dog in her Ford F 150. | ||
| The dog stuck by her body. | ||
| The truck was recovered on Sunday, a couple minutes' drive away. | ||
| Harold Rashad Dabney III, 28, was arrested and charged with capital murder. | ||
| Auburn Outlet Open Line reported. | ||
| Now we'll say this. | ||
| He's been accused, we don't know for sure. | ||
| In the arena story, the reason why it's so brutal and such a big story is because we have video evidence. | ||
| The video's been published, and it's terrifying. | ||
| But it looks like, once again, another story. | ||
| Officers in contact with Damney made observations that led them to believe Dabney had involvement in the homicide that incurred. | ||
| He is being held without bond. | ||
| News of Schnell's killing left the community stunned with locals and even state reps paying tribute to her. | ||
| Well, here's the story for those that may have missed it. | ||
| I covered it this morning, but this is uh I I, you know, as I'm as I'm doing the research on this, another story emerges. | ||
| Another similar story. | ||
| Young Ukrainian refugees subway stabbing death fuels uproar. | ||
| Take a look at this image. | ||
| The precursor. | ||
| I know it may be shocking to some from September 6th from Saturday. | ||
| And I'm sure YouTube won't appreciate it, but it doesn't matter. | ||
| End wokeness says zero AP stories, zero PBS, zero New York Times, zero NPR, zero Wall Street Journal, zero BBC, zero CNN, zero WAPO. | ||
| Now, when you see this story, this is from Charlotte where this word happened. | ||
| This young woman leaving work, sat down, unsuspecting, and this man for no reason pulled at a knife and decided to end her life. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| It's just insanity. | ||
| And it doesn't have to happen. | ||
| Now, I had said if one National Guardsman was sitting on that train, this wouldn't have happened because people are scared about someone who has the ability, the capability to stop you and protect others. | ||
| But this guy knows, because he's been arrested before, he will get away with it. | ||
| DeCarlos Brown Jr., 34 was arrested, charged with first degree murder. | ||
| It's August 22nd. | ||
| She was sitting in front of him on the light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina. | ||
| She was attacked from behind. | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| Where we are as a nation. | ||
| First, I already showed you how most of the corporate liberal news outlets did not cover the story. | ||
| They didn't care. | ||
| Oh, but George Floyd is the apocalypse. | ||
| George Floyd was a local news store that went national. | ||
| The cops in that story probably could have acted better, but George Floyd was on drugs, demanded to be pulled out of the car, resisted arrest, was placed on the ground, and Chauvin arrived after the fact. | ||
| The man's already on the ground. | ||
| Chauvin arrives and applies a hold that the police department trained him to do. | ||
| I'm not saying it was good. | ||
| I'm not saying he should have done it. | ||
| I'm saying these are the facts of the case. | ||
| He went to prison over this. | ||
| It became the biggest story in the country. | ||
| They say the murder of George Floyd. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It's just evil. | |
| The lies, the manipulation, and the that it's just evil. | ||
| George Floyd's death was accidental, and you could argue negligence. | ||
| It's true. | ||
| Chauvin was on him for like nine minutes. | ||
| But the idea that he was murdered intentionally by a cop. | ||
| No, more so it was negligence. | ||
| It shouldn't have happened. | ||
| But these these men, even the cop who was holding the crowd back, who had no idea what was going on, went to prison. | ||
| Chauvin was stabbed, what, 21 times in prison? | ||
| This was a national news story. | ||
| And okay. | ||
| Okay, I'm not saying it shouldn't have been. | ||
| I'm pointing out that this is ignored by the media. | ||
| See, in the George Floyd story, we are forced to react to it. | ||
| We have to then say, here's what they're telling us the news is, and here's what we think. | ||
| And we do what we do. | ||
| We do react to it. | ||
| With this story, the reaction was largely. | ||
| Why have you ignored this? | ||
| Why do we have stories like this going viral and we don't get the same degree of concern? | ||
| People are upset. | ||
| Trump says he wants to put a stop to this crime. | ||
| The Democrats tell him he's wrong. | ||
| I'm going to say it again. | ||
| I can tell you all the stories in the world about growing up in Chicago. | ||
| I would appreciate the National Guard being deployed. | ||
| Meghan Kelly said you can't just do this for law enforcement, but she's not wrong. | ||
| It's not about law enforcement. | ||
| It's about having the National Guard come and help clean up the community. | ||
| I mean, literally clean it up, clean up clean up the garbage. | ||
| Just by being there, they deter the crime. | ||
| I'd appreciate it. | ||
| Now look at this. | ||
| GoFundMe polls. | ||
| Horrific fundraisers for ex-Con to Carls Brown Jr. accused of murdering Ukrainian refugee on a train. | ||
| Can you believe this? | ||
| Now he only raised five bucks, but people are trying to raise money for this guy. | ||
| I'm assuming it's real. | ||
| It's absolutely insane. | ||
| But of course, you know it. | ||
| You know it. | ||
| The story from the Daily Mail, beloved Auburn University professor stabbed to death while walking her dog. | ||
| Now take a look at uh Axios. | ||
| Stabbing video fuels MAGA's crime message. | ||
| I believe this is the first time Axis has actually written about the story. | ||
| Wait till you see what they say in this. | ||
| It'll make your blood boil. | ||
| MAGA influencers are drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime and accuse mainstream media of undercovering shocking cases. | ||
| I'm gonna say it like this. | ||
| When the story broke, I'm not surprised the corporate press wasn't on top of it. | ||
| A couple local news outlets had written about it. | ||
| But when you see the story going viral, you're right about it. | ||
| Any one of these outlets, AP, New York Times or otherwise, could have said a story gaining massive traction. | ||
| Here's what happened. | ||
| And they could have done it Saturday, Sunday, or whenever. | ||
| The story happened August 22nd. | ||
| They said nothing. | ||
| But wait, it gets worse. | ||
| Shocking video of the fatal August 22nd knife attack on 23-year-old Irina Zarutska in a light rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina, dominated weekend conversation on Trump-friendly social media. | ||
| What? | ||
| You mean on X and YouTube? | ||
| They say the big picture, the rising number of surveillance cameras in public spaces, including in Charlotte's light rails, become a big accelerant. | ||
| The video is easily shared or leaked. | ||
| And you can instantly pollinate across social media a visual counterpoint to statistics showing crime decreases. | ||
| I have never wanted to punch my monitor harder. | ||
| Well, okay, there's stories that make me really angry. | ||
| Excuse me, Axias? | ||
| The fact that we know it's happening now is the problem, is the issue. | ||
| You can pollinate a video of a brutal murder, not the murder itself. | ||
| Thank God we have cameras and we know it's happening. | ||
| What a psychotic world. | ||
| These people are trying to create or have created. | ||
| President Trump asked about the Charlotte video by a reporter on Sunday, said he wanted to find out more. | ||
| I'll know all about it tomorrow morning, Trump said. | ||
| Trump advisor told the Axe House is exactly what he's talking about. | ||
| And it's going to be a bit be an issue. | ||
| He's going to highlight. | ||
| It's not just about North Carolina. | ||
| Other campaigns also deal with this. | ||
| Elon Musk repeatedly posts about the Charlotte case this weekend for his 225 million ex followers. | ||
| Also commenting on X. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Steven Miller, Trump confidant Charlie Kirk, Senator Mike Lee, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. | ||
| Well, it happened on a train. | ||
| North Carolina Senate candidate Michael Watley, a former chair of the national GOP invoked the case to accuse his Democratic opponent Governor Goy. | ||
| Governor Roy Cooper of being soft on crime. | ||
| Charlotte Mayor V. Lyles called it a heartbreaking attack. | ||
| Zarutka recently arrived in Charlotte from Ukraine to escape war there, the Charlotte Observer reports. | ||
| The suspect to Carlis Brown Jr. was charged with first degree murder. | ||
| His criminal record includes armed robbery, felony larceny, breaking and entering, and shoplifting according to jail records. | ||
| Mecklenburg County District Attorney Spencer Merriweather, in an interview with Axios Charlotte last week, didn't comment directly on the case, but acknowledged the limitations and complexities of holding defendants with mental issues accountable. | ||
| Whatly wrote an acts that in June 2020, Cooper signed a soft on crime executive order, and just three months later, Brown was released from prison. | ||
| The executive order established a racial profiling task force and sought to reduce systemic racism. | ||
| I've dealt with this in Chicago. | ||
| We all have. | ||
| Cooper's campaign accused Watley of lying and said Roy Cooper prosecuted violent criminals and drug dealers, increased the penalties for violence against law enforcement, and kept thousands of criminals off the streets and behind bars. | ||
| Watley, Watley spokesperson Daniel Alvarez countered that Brown was released from prison early, just as Cooper was spending more time talking about fighting racism and less about keeping career criminals like Brown locked up. | ||
| But wait, there's more. | ||
| I love this from Axios. | ||
| MAGA erupts after Israeli official charged in child sex ring flees the United States. | ||
| Now, with all due respect, Tal Axelrod, I don't mind covering the story about the reaction from conservatives. | ||
| And this is just as an aside. | ||
| The point is you can literally just write about the Israeli official charged in a sex ring fleeing. | ||
| You don't need the headline to be Mega Erupts. | ||
| In fact, the story is the Israeli official, and then in that story you write, MAGA. | ||
| Here's how they responded. | ||
| The point is it's not the first time they frame stories like this. | ||
| Stabbing video fuels MAGA's crime message. | ||
| Why not just write story goes viral? | ||
| Here's the reaction. | ||
| They could literally write brutal murder has taken, you know, dominates into uh uh uh weekend uh narrative. | ||
| Murder of Irina Zarutzka could be the centerfold. | ||
| Then you can say after the fact, here's the reaction from people. | ||
| That's not what we get. | ||
| Now, of course, Trump has responded to this as we've uh seen. | ||
| He said, I just give my love and hope to the family of the young one who was stabbed this morning or last night in Charlotte by a madman. | ||
| Now it wasn't, it was a couple weeks ago. | ||
| But of course, the media does not report on these stories. | ||
| And here's the point. | ||
| If you get a George Floyd story, whether we want to or not, to talk about it, the corporate press will write about it. | ||
| They will carry that story. | ||
| Then, when you get the brutal murder of a young woman, they don't. | ||
| And even when we say, hey, maybe we should talk about this, they say, look at MAGA pouncing on an issue. | ||
| Guys, I don't understand why this isn't news. | ||
| Uh this woman was brutally murdered. | ||
| I understand why this this video gets more attention than, say, the Auburn professor. | ||
| There's video of it. | ||
| That's true. | ||
| But the Auburn professor story is comparable. | ||
| And it's it's being written about by the New York Post. | ||
| These stories should not happen. | ||
| Which brings us to Chicago. | ||
| Senator Tammy Duckworth says Trump essentially just declared war on Chicago, but there's no indications of deployment. | ||
| This is the this is the attitude they give us. | ||
| JB Pritzker, the governor of Illinois, screams in our faces, no deployments. | ||
| Mayor Johnson says we will resist, we will fight back. | ||
| And you want to know where we're at right now? | ||
| Take a look at this. | ||
| We got this tweet from Gunther Eagleman. | ||
| People in Chicago are preparing for a civilian showdown with federal officers. | ||
| No, they're not. | ||
| This is just not true. | ||
| The average person in Chicago isn't paying attention at all. | ||
| Beginning tonight at 2 a.m., Chicago is going to see the largest military presence in the entire history of Chicago. | ||
| That's not correct. | ||
| Beginning tonight at 2 a.m. | ||
| That's false. | ||
| The critters will be crawling their way through little village, and they will be wreaking havoc door to door, dragging people out of their homes. | ||
| And placing them into custody. | ||
| Not true. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So I'm letting the public know right now. | |
| Prepare. | ||
| Ready for a civilian showdown. | ||
| It won't happen. | ||
| This is a civilian showdown. | ||
| We all need to participate in protecting and defending the lives of innocent people. | ||
| This is what I have been working so hard to protect and prepare people for. | ||
| I'm I'm I'm just sad for my city. | ||
| I'm sad for my city, man. | ||
| In this video, they say this gang member is issuing a warning to Trump stating not to send troops to Chicago, warned it. | ||
| I can tell you they won't. | ||
| I can I'll let's talk about the gangs in Chicago, man. | ||
| I got stories for you guys. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Trump. | |
| Do not send the National Guards to Chicago, yeah. | ||
| Not I repeat, I knew it. | ||
| We are a different fucking breed. | ||
| We are not Los Angeles. | ||
| Nigga, we are not Washington, D.C. That's right. | ||
| Nigga, this is Chicago, nigga. | ||
| He's right. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Niggas go fight bet. | |
| I'm telling you, the niggas go fight bet gang. | ||
| I don't give a fuck what you're talking about. | ||
| Them young niggas got switches, gang. | ||
| They not going for their shit, bro. | ||
| I don't know. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I'm from the same, oh, it's the National Guard. | |
| They can't do anything about it. | ||
| They must go in Chicago. | ||
| Nigga, do y'all know that it's more bad people than good people, bro? | ||
| There are over a hundred thousand gangs in Chicago by the city. | ||
| That's not true either. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do not send the national. | |
| I wanna maybe a hundred thousand gang members. | ||
| But uh let me just pull up the quick math. | ||
| How many gangs in Chicago? | ||
| Recognize, you know, kids are always calling themselves gangs all the time, but let's get the hard numbers on this one. | ||
| It's double digits probably. | ||
| Uh there's a hundred gangs, triple digits. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| Around 150,000 gang affiliated individuals. | ||
| The DOJ estimates, okay, so 70 to 75 gangs with over 100,000 members in Chicago. | ||
| So that's that's it. | ||
| So it's not 100, 775 according to the DOJ. | ||
| The Chicago police department uh tracks 55 known gangs with 747 factions. | ||
| But it's it's one gang, they just operate in different areas, but they have the same bosses. | ||
| Crime in Chicago says about 100,000 active gang members. | ||
| Uh yeah. | ||
| Different math. | ||
| I'm gonna first say this. | ||
| Chicago gangs, he's right. | ||
| It's not LA, it's not DC, it's not New York. | ||
| Yo, LA's got its gangs, man. | ||
| But Chicago gangs, they go harder than any other gangs I've seen in the country. | ||
| No joke. | ||
| Bro, no joke. | ||
| Gangs in Chicago do not mess around. | ||
| And they they they are tough. | ||
| He says they'll fight back. | ||
| I say they won't. | ||
| They won't. | ||
| And I'll tell you why. | ||
| Uh listen. | ||
| I grew up on the south side. | ||
| You guys all know this beating a dead horse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
I get it. | |
| We had a bunch of gangs that existed in our area. | ||
| Uh, it's funny, because like a lot of Catholic gang bishops, the disciples, the popes. | ||
| I'm not even kidding. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Like, I don't, I don't know the history of that, but yeah. | |
| Let me tell you this. | ||
| Now, some of these gangs are crazy. | ||
| Some of them are crazy. | ||
| Most of them are not crazy. | ||
| But they will not let they will not tolerate disrespect. | ||
| I've talked to film crews before. | ||
| I remember when uh Vice did some documentaries in Chicago with gangs, and I asked them like what were they doing for security, and they were like, nothing. | ||
| And I was like, like, they were like, when we were there, yeah. | ||
| I'm like, no, no, but after the fact. | ||
| And they were like, nothing. | ||
| And I was like, bro, you guys are marked. | ||
| You can't, you can't go to Chicago, embed with a gang, make them look cool and strong and tough on camera. | ||
| The other gangs won't tolerate that because you're giving them access, you're giving them clout, you're giving them power. | ||
| And and when gangs are at war, they're gonna be like, bro, these gang members aren't dumb. | ||
| There's a reason behind why they take issue with this. | ||
| I think I think I can't remember who it was. | ||
| Was it 6'7 Kevin? | ||
| I'm not sure. | ||
| But there was a crew, maybe it wasn't. | ||
| We were interviewing some guys, and they were doing an embed with a gang in Chicago, and a drive-by happened, and they unloaded and actually shot the camera guy. | ||
| The gangs do this because they're like, listen. | ||
| All the gangs are fighting for recruitment, fighting for territory. | ||
| They're not always at war with each other. | ||
| But if someone embeds with this with this gang and you put this documentary, you generate attention and effective brand value for them, they're gonna have an easier time getting recruiting, even if you think you're making them look bad. | ||
| They're gonna They're gonna be able to find money, they're gonna be able to cut deals. | ||
| It's it's benefiting them and say, you are helping my enemy. | ||
| It's like imagine if you were an American reporter, for instance, and you went to Ukraine, but you were critical of Ukrainian government. | ||
| It's almost like, could you imagine what would happen? | ||
| The Ukrainian government arresting an American reporter and then killing him. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| These guys, I'm not gonna, they're not rocket scientists, like they're not university degrees, but they're not insane. | ||
| They may be aggressive, they may be brutal, they may be ruthless, but they're not gonna fight Trump. | ||
| I'll tell you what's gonna happen. | ||
| National Guard comes out, and these guys are gonna say, don't bring the heat. | ||
| I was talking about I had earlier segment this morning, but I'll say it not for this in this context. | ||
| They're gonna say, don't bring the heat if you don't have to. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| If the National Guard comes in and there's trucks everywhere and they take over a territory, the gangs are gonna be like they just iced us out. | ||
| You're not gonna win that fight. | ||
| All you're gonna do is get arrested, lose money, and bring more heat. | ||
| Let's say there's two National Guard in an area. | ||
| They're gonna say, do your thing, do not cross the National Guard. | ||
| Don't be stupid. | ||
| You're gonna bring the. | ||
| They say this about cops. | ||
| That's why when this guy's like, they're gonna fight back. | ||
| Listen. | ||
| How often do we hear about police getting in shit out with gang with gangbangers? | ||
| It happens, but it's not happening all the time. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| The cops roll up, the gangbangers say, we don't want the fight. | ||
| So it happens, it does. | ||
| But they don't want the heat and they'll avoid it. | ||
| In my neighborhood, I guarantee it. | ||
| At our local park, you can look up Vidom Park, V-I-T-T-U-M. | ||
| That's where I grew up. | ||
| If we had two National Guard just walking around the park, sitting in the playground, the muggings would have stopped, the gangbangers would have stopped coming. | ||
| To be to be fair, the gangbangers probably still be there. | ||
| They'd just be hanging out, but they'd keep a low profile. | ||
| Less shakedowns. | ||
| Yo, there was counterfeiting. | ||
| It was wild, dude. | ||
| The counter counterfeiting was wild. | ||
| And uh there was a there was a an ice cream truck, and the counterfeiters would just clean their money through the ice cream truck. | ||
| I guess there was like a company owned a fleet of ice cream trucks. | ||
| And so it would park in front of the playground because we'd all hang out there. | ||
| We'd buy ice cream. | ||
| It was soft served. | ||
| It was awesome. | ||
| And there were dudes who would bring I've only ever heard the stories ever seen them do it. | ||
| But there were guys who'd go up there and buy. | ||
| And the the guy who was running who was selling ice cream didn't own the truck. | ||
| So he would just take the counterfeit money and then hand them the real cash. | ||
| That's how they cleaned it. | ||
| It's wild. | ||
| Happened all the time. | ||
| If the National Guard was there, stuff like that might still happen. | ||
| But slinging dope and muggings would definitely not happen. | ||
| Because the gang's gonna be like this. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Listen. | |
| National Guard comes in. | ||
| We the gangs are like we selling in 10 areas. | ||
| Okay, we lose one area, whatever, just go somewhere else. | ||
| But if you get into it with them, they're gonna come into our territory and they're gonna screw up business. | ||
| The gangs are aggressive. | ||
| They do fight, they are violent, they are tough, they don't take disrespect, but they're not morons. | ||
| That's the thing like people don't understand about traveling the world. | ||
| It's like they think people can't do one plus one equals two. | ||
| So when he says the gang's are gonna fight back, it's like, bro, it could happen only through accidental circumstances. | ||
| But the gang leaders, I tell you this because I've met them, I've known them, they're gonna say, bro, I make money doing this, man. | ||
| Don't cost me money. | ||
| They'll be pissed. | ||
| It's like any movie. | ||
| The mob boss is gonna come in and be like, why are you why are you getting me involved in this, dude? | ||
| So I say this about this cover-up about this story. | ||
| I think we need we need the National Guard. | ||
| I think we need something to be done because we can't just keep living this way. | ||
| A hundred thousand gang members, shootings, all that stuff. | ||
| Chicago clearly isn't doing what they need to do. | ||
| I'm gonna wrap it up there, my friends. | ||
| We've actually we're gonna be joined by Christian Maxwell. | ||
| She's from Chicago, she's running for Congress. | ||
| And Bobby, I believe it's Bobby Rush's district. | ||
| I'm gonna talk to her about what's going on in Chicago. | ||
| So I haven't been there in 20 years. | ||
| Just shy of 20 years. | ||
| It's been 16 years. | ||
| And uh, I'm curious what she thinks, and I'm really excited to talk to somebody from Chicago, and so we can we can get this message to the people about what Trump's plan is and why. | ||
| I'm pretty sure we're gonna agree on a lot of things. | ||
| We may have a different perspective. | ||
| Smash that like button, share the show with everyone you know. | ||
| That interview will be up at 4 p.m. at YouTube.com slash Timcast or rumble.com slash the culture war. | ||
| Your channel URL. | ||
| And uh check it out. | ||
| For those that are watching live, we'll keep going. | ||
| But for us of you, we'll see you all in the next segment. | ||
| For everybody else. | ||
| Here's a story from the New York Times. | ||
| Trump downplays post threatening Chicago, saying he wants to clean up city. | ||
| The president had said on social media that Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of War, drawing a fierce rebuke from Democrats. | ||
| Now I'll tell you what I find funny in this. | ||
| All the liberals, not from Chicago, telling me from the South side that I'm wrong, that my opinions are wrong. | ||
| I'm like, bro, you don't live there. | ||
| You don't live there. | ||
| Okay. | ||
| Megan Kelly's got a video, and she did a show. | ||
| She said Trump can't just send in the National Guard to enforce the law everyone. | ||
| That's clearly not legal. | ||
| Gavin Newsom says, aha, the base is splintering. | ||
| No, she's not wrong. | ||
| I'm not asking Trump go and send National Guard to enforce the law. | ||
| I'm saying the presence is welcome. | ||
| They'll clean up trash, they'll make everything nicer, and it stops the crime. | ||
| In fact, in the black community, often we saw this from Gallup polling across the country. | ||
| They are asking for more police presence to help deal with the crime. | ||
| So I'm going to say this to all those liberals. | ||
| I say I would love it in my neighborhood if we saw this. | ||
| And these people from New York, from this from the northern suburbs, from the wealthier areas, they say, nah. | ||
| It's ridiculous. | ||
| So here's what we're gonna do. | ||
| We've got this we got a woman running for office. | ||
| We're gonna bring her in. | ||
| And uh she's gonna tell us about what's going on and and and what she thinks and what she thinks needs to happen. | ||
| All right, let's get it set up, load it up. | ||
| Takes a quick second. | ||
| Uh Christian, can you hear me? | ||
| Yes, I can hear you. | ||
| Uh thanks for joining me. | ||
| Do you want to just introduce yourself real quickly to everybody? | ||
| Yes, for sure. | ||
| So thank you again for having me on the show. | ||
| Uh, my name is Christian Maxwell, and I'm currently a candidate for Congress in Illinois, a Republican candidate. | ||
| So not the most popular thing to be in this state. | ||
| Um, but I'm an Illinois born and raised. | ||
| Um, and then I came to Chicago to uh pursue school, and I ended up marrying my finding my husband here and marrying him. | ||
| And that's how I ended up being a resident of this amazing city. | ||
| So right now I'm just in the middle of a uh the fight that a lot of people are in, which is figuring out how to make Chicago a livable place once again. | ||
| So that's the thing I'm excited to talk about with you today. | ||
| Yeah, you're running in congressional district number one. | ||
| Was that that was Bobby Rush's district? | ||
| Yes, and then now most people don't even know, but it's not Bobby Rush anymore, it's Jonathan Jackson. | ||
| So Jesse Jackson's son, but he flies so low under the radar with his effort that people literally don't even know this man exists. | ||
| All right, very easy opening question. | ||
| Should Trump send in the National Guard? | ||
| Yes, I do believe Trump should send in the National Guard. | ||
| And there's a few key reasons for this. | ||
| Um so when you think about the National Guard, the entire purpose of the National Guard is to do in-country work. | ||
| Um, the the whole concept of people kind of looking at it like a a um like SEAL team is being deployed on Nash on uh U.S. soil to uh police and kind of like detain American citizens, that's just not what the National Guard is. | ||
| And it's really not um it's really sad to see them looked at the way they're being looked at right now, like an enemy force that's going to be against the American citizens. | ||
| Their entire purpose is to provide support um to states while also being able to access federal funding so states don't have to bear the burden of needing those extra resources. | ||
| So, what we've seen a lot of other states right now is that a lot people keep bringing up, like, oh, red states, he needs to send them to red states first. | ||
| Well, the issue is that a lot of red states are already having multiple federal task force or federal integrated task force where they're working with the federal government and leveraging those resources, and they have an open door policy. | ||
| They're not hiding their ICE, their uh, you know, immigration data from the federal government. | ||
| They're not lying about who's being released from Cook County jail. | ||
| They're not doing that. | ||
| They're saying, hey, this person, we just released this person who's not actually a citizen. | ||
| They're yours now. | ||
| And then ICE is able to go do what they need to do. | ||
| But in Illinois, what we see is that our governor has us literally on lockdown pretty much. | ||
| It's like a wall around Illinois, and he does not want any federal intervention unless it's a check. | ||
| So, yes, we do need the National Guard. | ||
| Democrats have run Chicago for what, a hundred years. | ||
| Oh gosh, they've had a stronghold forever. | ||
| In this district alone, the district I'm running for, I would be breaking a century, a century of democratic rule. | ||
| It would literally Be crazy. | ||
| I uh so I I don't know if you're familiar, but I I won't show up about it. | ||
| I grew up in Chicago. | ||
| I grew up on the south side in the Garfield Ridge. | ||
| I love that. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I I've told the stories over and over again about my neighborhood. | ||
| Uh there's a there's an area that used to be called the LeClaire, it's still called the LeClaire courts, but this is this they bulldozed it. | ||
| And I actually had a debate on Friday with a liberal who is from New York. | ||
| And I I the reason why I bring this up. | ||
| After a hundred years of Democrat supermajority, congressionally, you know, at the federal level, at the state level, everything the crime hasn't stopped. | ||
| No. | ||
| Uh the gangs still control a lot of these areas. | ||
| The police have been unable to get a handle on this. | ||
| And where I grew up, I made this joke to uh on the uh to uh one of the shows the day before I was like, oh, I mean, it it's Chicago's not that bad. | ||
| I mean, there I was only shot at like two or three times as a kid. | ||
| Uh my friend only saw one corpse dragged through an alley. | ||
| I only got we only got mugged by gangbangers, you know, 15 times. | ||
| Like the joke is that shouldn't be happening. | ||
| So the question I have for you, especially with your work for office is what you know. | ||
| When I ask, like, should the National Guard come in? | ||
| It's clearly because the policies aren't working. | ||
| Why do you think after a century they have not been able to get a handle on this crime? | ||
| One second. | ||
| And what should they be doing? | ||
| So what I think they should be doing. | ||
| So I think as far as the policies, I do believe that the one issue I see right now with a lot of liberals is that they really do want to just do a one-size fits-all approach to this. | ||
| So they're like, you know what? | ||
| We just want to talk to these people. | ||
| We want to talk to them and we want to give them supplies. | ||
| And that the only reason they're doing criminal things is because they don't have enough stuff. | ||
| I don't know that sounds bad. | ||
| Um, but here's the thing. | ||
| There really is a group of people who it's not about how much stuff they have, they are just inherently bad people. | ||
| And I know that that's something that people don't want to talk about for some reason, but there really are people who are beyond the reach of a dialogue, whether it's a mental health situation or just a, you know, just being so inundated with criminality that now it really is just the only way you look at life. | ||
| There are some people who are just inherently bad, whether they're rapers, murderers, drug dealers, you know, like whatever the situation is, there is no talking to them. | ||
| They're bad. | ||
| So no amount of affordable housing, no amount of food stamps, no truck parked in their neighborhood with vegetables and cucumbers is going to change how they approach life. | ||
| Yeah, that you can do that for kids. | ||
| Please do that for kids. | ||
| Please do that for women in these neighborhoods. | ||
| Please do that for people who want to change. | ||
| But for the people who are not interested in changing, um, no, we don't want to give them more resources. | ||
| When you here's what it looks like though. | ||
| When you do open up resources to people who just have a criminal nature, what they end up doing is you'll open up more senior living facilities and then you will see their grandsons, the these older women, their grandsons will infiltrate the the senior living facility and be in their apartment unit and they can't even get them out. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| You know, like there's there's a lot of situations like that or women will have section eight and then they'll have a boyfriend who's living there who's dealing drugs out of a section eight unit. | ||
| And it's like, yeah, this is housing that she should have because she has children, but her boyfriend is literally not doing a single thing to provide for that household and is not incentivized to do so because his biggest cost is already covered. | ||
| And it's eight, you have food stamps too. | ||
| What are you working for? | ||
| It's it's so oh yeah. | ||
| I mean, that's another huge issue in the city, but it's so entrenched. | ||
| And so, you know, for me, when I I was talking to my my friends uh from the South, I mean Southwest. | ||
| I don't want to act like it's you know 45th or something, but we're we're we're by Midway Airport, yeah, LaClaire Courts area, and I said, which would you prefer? | ||
| The muggings at our local park, yeah, uh, or a handful of National Guard picking up trash and walking around uh the park. | ||
| Everybody laughs because they're like, no one fears National Guard. | ||
| They're not gonna arrest you. | ||
| No. | ||
| In DC, they're cleaning up garbage, but that presence. | ||
| So you talk about, you know, putting a vegetable cart in this neighborhood's not gonna stop crime. | ||
| It's certainly not. | ||
| But it there is a pressure created by having National Guard present, not enforcing or just being there. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| And it's and it's fascinating that it is the well-to-do liberals in the wealthier neighborhoods telling me, my friends, and my family the protection we're asking for is illegal, illegitimate, and we don't deserve it. | ||
| Yes, yeah. | ||
| And I think that for them, um, because I I'm we're me and my husband are foodies, so we drive all over the city. | ||
| Like we would drive 30 minutes for donuts. | ||
| Like that's how intense how heavy we are into food. | ||
| So I drive to all uh all neighborhoods, like I'll go anywhere, you know, for cool food. | ||
| And what I end up seeing a lot on these Saturday mornings is literally what I described on that video. | ||
| And that morning I made the video, I was literally watching people do exactly what I described. | ||
| And when I came back to my area, I don't see people doing what I described. | ||
| They're not outside of their home as much as people in these other neighborhoods. | ||
| I mean, kids literally in you know, some of these really nicer areas, their kids are still in their PJs. | ||
| Like you literally got up and just you just hit the door immediately to go live your life in your community. | ||
| You know why you also doing that? | ||
| Because you have more businesses than we have over here on the Southside, we don't have as many businesses as they have. | ||
| Most of the Southside is underdeveloped. | ||
| You don't have as many restaurants to choose from, you don't have as many. | ||
| I mean, we have in my community, it's a lot of people who live here in the high park wood line area. | ||
| We have a micro target. | ||
| We don't even have a full target. | ||
| I went in there to buy an iPad and they had to go get it from like the the dungeon of the back of the store because it's so locked down. | ||
| Yeah, well, now it's like what wasn't isn't wasn't there like a Walgreens in Chicago where there's no there's no items anymore. | ||
| It's just like it's a tablet. | ||
| Yeah, deodorants locked up, you know. | ||
| Like, why is deodorant locked up? | ||
| Because odorant, you know, like and you know, it really it's one of those things where you get used to it, but you're like, hey, let me push the button to order my deodorant and wait for the person to come over and give me my deodorant. | ||
| Like, can you give can mean the one with the 24 hours strength? | ||
| Because I'm really sweaty. | ||
| Like, that's not something you want to do with a person, you know. | ||
| Yeah, um, but that's become the norm. | ||
| If you need, if you need formula, you you gotta wait for somebody to come and get it for you. | ||
| And I think that a lot of people don't realize that's how a lot of the city is living. | ||
| They're living like they are criminals and they're not the criminals. | ||
| So when I advocate for something like the National Guard, here's also why. | ||
| I think a lot of Chicagoans don't realize that CPD is currently down about 5,000 officers. | ||
| Bare minimum, they're down 3,000. | ||
| So if you have the National Guard here as a support and as a deterrent, that frees up more of the officers that we barely have. | ||
| I think we only have about a was it maybe like 11,000 or 13,000. | ||
| It frees up some of those officers who may be stationed downtown to kind of go into some different districts because a lot of these districts are not covered the way that people would think that they are covered. | ||
| I actually know for a fact that there have been multiple times where uh the mayor has decided to pull Southside officers to go downtown to stand on corners to keep downtown safe. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| So while a lot of black people are saying, you know, they're just gonna be downtown. | ||
| Well, great. | ||
| Let somebody else think about downtown so we can be thought of. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Do you do you feel because when I say that the Southside is not a process, uh we're not a priority. | |
| Do you do you find that the the black community in Chicago, these neighborhoods would prefer a greater police presence? | ||
| I think that's why a lot of people are really upset. | ||
| The comment I keep seeing is they're not gonna come to the south side. | ||
| And initially I was like, guys, why are you so hung up on that? | ||
| But then I really thought about it and I'm like, this is almost like a reverse cry for help. | ||
| People are basically saying like they're just gonna not think about us again. | ||
| That's what I think that people are saying when they keep commenting over and over that the National Guard isn't gonna come to the South Side. | ||
| It's because people are used to calling 911 and nobody comes. | ||
| The if and even if they do come, the response time for CPD is pretty low. | ||
| Again, it's not their fault. | ||
| I don't blame the officers. | ||
| I blame the mayor for not doing one, his promise when he ran was that he was gonna hire 200 more detectives. | ||
| For one, you can hire more detectives to close cases, but also hire the additional officers that we need for the city. | ||
| He hasn't hired than 200 new detectives. | ||
| He hasn't hit that goal. | ||
| And if anything, I think CPD has gotten smaller under his leadership. | ||
| I wonder if that's like I wonder if that's like a common Chicago thing that you call 911, nobody shows up. | ||
| I yeah, I'm I watched a burglar next door. | ||
| So I actually live in a really interesting area. | ||
| It's like uh being, I don't want to call it gentrified, but they're knocking down old stuff and putting up million dollar homes. | ||
| Um, and I literally watched the million dollar home next door to me uh be burglarized. | ||
| Like somebody came up on a scooter and started bashing the screen, this uh glass door patio door on a million dollar home. | ||
| And wow, and they before the million dollar home was even built, three guys came up with chainsaws and took their time and robbed the construction containers. | ||
| I call CPD and nobody ever came. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And and there's there's always some excuse of priority or or or something like that. | ||
| But what what what are I it? | ||
| I haven't I've I left when I was 23. | ||
| So uh I come back periodically for the holidays. | ||
| What's it like with the gun laws now? | ||
| I mean, can you can you defend yourself? | ||
| So I think that if you are willing to study the laws pretty much very often, um, you need to know what you can and cannot do here because there's a lot of rules on law abiding citizens. | ||
| There's more rules for us than obviously it is for criminals. | ||
| So if you don't understand what is considered your castle, like you can't just your car is not an extension of your castle here in Chicago. | ||
| So if your car is being burglarized, like there's not much you can do. | ||
| You have to be in, and you you should always have to be an imminent harm in order to use a weapon. | ||
| I I do I definitely feel that. | ||
| But the way that you can really get caught up and end up in jail as a law abiding citizen if you don't know all of the rules and regulations for how to use your weapon here, you can get in a lot of trouble. | ||
| And to be honest, they would probably throw the book at you even more than they would actual criminal. | ||
| So if you I would say anybody in Illinois, you should have your Foyd, even though it's really ridiculous that you have to have one, uh, but you should have your FOID, and then you need to go and get your concealed carry because it's your job to self-rescue in a state like Illinois, they cannot rescue you. | ||
| You have to self-rescue. | ||
| It takes an officer, even in a good area, it takes officers to like 15 minutes to get to you in a good area. | ||
| Yeah, what are you gonna do for 15 minutes if you don't have a weapon and you don't know how to use it? | ||
| You're gonna die. | ||
| So it or be raped or whatever. | ||
| For women who I see a lot of women walking around, I'm like, I really hope that you have something in that little pouch besides lip gloss, because you know, it's a lot more going on here than Chicago's going to tell you because they're not transparent about how much crime is happening in this city because they want you to feel safe. | ||
| It's not safe. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| I and I think that DCU was accused of doing this too, flubbing the numbers to make it seem like everything's safe. | ||
| We want to get those tourists in here. | ||
| And then uh Chicago's pretty brutal. | ||
| It's pretty brutal. | ||
| Yeah, people don't realize I brought I did a video on TikTok and I was talking about I'm like, uh I'm like, guys, uh, I don't know if you know, but there's a really extensive cartel presence in in Illinois, and some people were like, oh man, don't talk about it, don't talk about it. | ||
| I'm like, but no, let's talk about it. | ||
| Because when you have a cartel presence, that means you have a trafficking presence. | ||
| And if you're, you know, a young woman, like you're you're a commodity. | ||
| You you know, like you have to be aware of your surroundings in a way that's a lot higher here. | ||
| And I think that a lot of people just think of gang violence, and it's like, oh, it's just some black guys on the south side. | ||
| Like, no, there's a lot of different types of crime in Chicago. | ||
| This is why you see, you know, there was just recently um, it was a uh Chinese person who was, I think they were uh they the DA um got them because they were trying to uh change over 65 million dollars from a transaction for fentanyl. | ||
| And then there was just recently a major cartel leader from the Sinaloa cartel, I believe, arrested apprehended here or charged here. | ||
| I'm like, that's like that's like Mexico. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| I'm like, this is not Chicago's, it's so beautiful. | ||
| It's so beautiful, but do not let that fool you. | ||
| There is a real criminal element here that goes so much deeper than just black guys on the South Side where people are like they shouldn't be over policed. | ||
| I could care less about the crime that people think this is about. | ||
| There's something that the government knows that we're not 100% aware of that I I for for sure want them to come and handle. | ||
| What please come and handle that? | ||
| What I just never understood, and it's one of the reasons why I decided to leave the city is how after a hundred years they've not solved anything. | ||
| I mean, we go back a hundred years, we're talking about Al Capone, and we we you still have violent crime and and and and the gangs have gotten worse. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Yes. | |
| And people, but why do keep why do people keep voting for the same thing and for the same people? | ||
| It's just not getting solved. | ||
| So that's something that I've been looking into as well. | ||
| There are less and less people voting in these elections. | ||
| Even when, even though there is still a democratic stronghold, they have just broken the will of so many conservative or even moderate Democrat voters to the point where they just don't show up. | ||
| If you even look at for some of the surrounding suburbs where there's mayoral elections, you have a mayor win with like 1400 votes. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Wow. | |
| That's like an event. | ||
| You know, that's not like a town's worth of people. | ||
| Um, so and even with the mayor, Mayor Johnson, I mean, he didn't get that many votes. | ||
| It was like less than like 300,000. | ||
| And I think it was honestly in the hundreds of thousands. | ||
| Chicago's a really big city. | ||
| So it's like there wasn't some overwhelming majority of people who said that Brandon Johnson was going to be a great mayor. | ||
| It was a small, it was a small group of people who cared enough to go out and vote. | ||
| And they didn't come back for the runoff, which is why Paul Dallas ended up losing. | ||
| Paul Dallas would have been the mayor. | ||
| Now, honestly, I know quite a few black people who voted for Paul Dallas and were sh and for sure wanted him over Brandon Johnson because nobody in their right mind wanted Brandon Johnson. | ||
| If you ask any black person who's like, I don't want to call them boomer age, but even like my age and up, they know for a fact that his whole the youth just needs to kumbaya with me and they're gonna come over to the law abiding side. | ||
| Everybody knows that that's not a thing. | ||
| It's not a thing, which is why you see youth taking over downtown now. | ||
| And you see the schools, if you check a lot of the schools around here, they literally have 50% absentee rates. | ||
| A lot of CPS schools can't even get kids to come to school. | ||
| And he's a CPS product. | ||
| He's actually a CPS teacher, and the CTU president is literally like the his puppeteer. | ||
| She has his little puppet strings. | ||
| He's not a he's not none of the stuff that Brandon Johnson is doing is because he's sitting there plotting on Chicago. | ||
| He is a puppet of the highest order. | ||
| And Stacey Davis Gates, or whatever her name is, she honestly needs to go on like a watch list. | ||
| Like that lady is behind so much of the destruction of our children in the city. | ||
| I honestly would love to see CTU get dismantled. | ||
| I would love to see them be dismantled. | ||
| I was looking up uh congressional district won in Illinois. | ||
| You actually have a decently active congressional district. | ||
| Jonathan Jackson won with 208,000 votes to Marcus Lewis's 108,000. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| That's like near 50% turnouts, like 40 some odd percent. | ||
| I pulled up AOCs because she's so famous, it's a great example. | ||
| She won with 132,000 to 59,000. | ||
| Yeah, substantially less turnout in her district. | ||
| You it's fascinating to see that uh in CD1, the Republican turnout rivals AOC in her own district. | ||
| Yes. | ||
| Do you think you're gonna be able to obviously you're gonna say yes, but you're gonna be able to rally the people of your district and vote for some change? | ||
| So when I look at this whole fight, one for one thing, I'm taking it one day at a time, and I don't do a lot of boasting um at all in this because I've never run for politics or done anything in politics. | ||
| But what I'm looking at is that people have never been more fed up than they are right now. | ||
| And with Trump in office, they have just a thread of hope. | ||
| And I honestly do believe that if there was ever a time to do it, it's now. | ||
| Jonathan Jackson, most if you go up to I'm actually gonna probably do it pretty soon. | ||
| I'm gonna just walk around the High Park area and I'm gonna ask random black people do you know who Jonathan Jackson is? | ||
| They don't know him, they don't know him. | ||
| He's slapping up billboards over literally destroyed areas all throughout the black communities, just slapping his face up there, talking about people over politics while black businesses close all over the district. | ||
| Black black women are unemployed. | ||
| It's like the people that he talks about all the time, they're not doing better with him as a representative. | ||
| I looked at all of the uh all of the legislation that he's done as a congressman, none of it is about Illinois, and to be honest, none of it is about black people. | ||
| So the very people who elect him, I really wonder if they're checking his work because he's on Capitol Hill with I mean, when you pay for a sent uh representative, Illinois is investing about three to four million dollars a year into Jonathan Jackson and his suite of team members who aren't doing anything. | ||
| He's produced less than I think 15 pieces of legislation. | ||
| He's been a representative since 2023. | ||
| How do you do less than 15 pieces of legislation in several years in a district that has this much need? | ||
| And you don't really hear a lot about him at the national level. | ||
| No, he doesn't because he really is a wallflower. | ||
| A lot of people usually call him a wallflower. | ||
| Um, he's the I think the only reason to be honest that he ended up running is because his brother got locked up. | ||
| So his brother, um, Jesse Jackson Jr., who was probably the original kid who was supposed to, you know, be his daddy's like, you know, main kiddo. | ||
| Uh, but he embezzled about 800,000 of his own campaign funds. | ||
| So he had to get locked up for a little bit. | ||
| He just got back out and put his little uh intellectual glasses back on, and he thinks he's gonna run in district two. | ||
| Um, that should not be a thing. | ||
| You shouldn't get fresh out of prison and then go try to run for a representative again and think that you have a shot. | ||
| But in Illinois, these men, the true oligarchy, which is Jesse Jackson Sr. | ||
| Jesse Jackson Jr., and Jonathan Jackson, that's an actual oligarchy because They love that phrase. | ||
| Um, they think that they own Illinois and that this is their way to just keep themselves top of mind a little bit, keep a decent little salary, you know, a decent salary to put on the books and to just stay relevant. | ||
| But Illinois is tired of being a toy. | ||
| Yeah, uh, how many of the in the past 20 years, how many politicians in Illinois went to prison? | ||
| I mean, oh man, it's it's actually sad because I can't count at this point. | ||
| Um, that's that's a normal thing is for you know, Illinois politicians to end up going to not just like they don't even just get a civil suit. | ||
| I mean, they really go to prison to do hard time. | ||
| Like that's how I'm like, they don't, they don't just do a little bit of crime or kind of just overstep a little bit. | ||
| No, they just like they're like, no, I'm going for it. | ||
| I'm gonna embezzle a million dollars almost and you know, have to do multiple years. | ||
| And I just can't understand how that's normal. | ||
| But also that's why I know that I want the National Guard to come and I want Trump to have his eye on Illinois because I know why they don't want his eye on Illinois because of the level of corruption. | ||

|
Yep. | |
| When Pritzker during the pandemic, Pritzker kept Illinois in disaster mode longer than almost any other state, I think in the US. | ||
| He kept it in disaster mode. | ||
| Do you know why? | ||
| Because it paid the bills for RTA. | ||
| RTA is currently 700 billion, I think 700 million dollars uh underwater because COVID funded ended. | ||
| CPS, our public school system, 100% supported by COVID funding. | ||
| They're like, I think a billion dollars underwater now. | ||
| Um, there's so many different industries across Illinois that he was able to pay the bills for with COVID funding. | ||
| So he was content to keep Illinoisans locked in their houses and tell them it was a disaster for as long as possible. | ||
| It also created fake jobs. | ||
| So now when you see people saying that there that there's less jobs being created, well, it's because there's not a bunch of fake COVID jobs being created. | ||
| People going and shoving swabs up your nose at Walgreens. | ||
| That's a fake job. | ||
| You know, health care, all this fake healthcare hiring that Illinois did. | ||
| Yeah, the only new innovation that you see in Illinois right now, if you come, you will notice that the only new businesses are dispensaries, autism clinics, and kidney dialysis businesses. | ||
| Jeez. | ||
| Somebody tell me I'm wrong. | ||
| I drive over the South Side, and the only thing I see is new dialysis clinics because people's kidneys are failing here. | ||
| That's something that needs to be looked into. | ||
| There's a bunch of new autism clinics and ABA clinics, and then there's dispensaries and the dispensary money, nobody knows where that's going because it's going back to rehabs, apparently, and then it's discretionary funding for Illinois to decide how they spin. | ||
| So all the taxes from dispensaries is not actually going to Illinois at all. | ||
| I saw this, uh, I can't remember what you I was watching recently, but someone mentioned one of the characters was like, Yeah, I was thinking going to Chicago, but you know, I'm not sure it's the right place for me too, Windy. | ||
| And I love that there are just there are it's it's kind of shocking when I find out there are people who genuinely believe the windy city is called windy because of actual wind when it when it's actually about how all the politicians are corrupt and blowing hot air. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| It's for a hundred years we've lived that way. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And it's an expectation. | ||
| I know a lot of people, they'll keep um, I see people like, man, I really hope you don't, you know, change once you get in. | ||
| And the thing I think that's different about me is that I don't have anybody in my ear. | ||
| I don't have some like shady characters like, you know, over my shoulder telling me what to do. | ||
| Like I really am basically a rogue agent. | ||
| And even though I'm a Republican and I'm a conservative, I the I don't think the Republican Party even knows what to do with me in the state because I'm not a normal candidate. | ||
| Um I I haven't done, I'm not doing anything the way that they usually do it. | ||
| This is this is the GOP's problem, or at least one of their problems. | ||
| They don't want to invest in in these districts, like like congressional district number one. | ||
| Their attitude is it's a foregone conclusion. | ||
| But that means every two years, it gets more and more democratic controlled. | ||
| You you you you have to go after these districts that are Democratic Democratic Party entrenched. | ||
| That'll actually weaken all the other areas and improve your your standing in this in the swing districts. | ||
| Imagine if you destroy a democratic stronghold. | ||
| It you're everything else is falling. | ||
| I've literally had multiple people who were in the GOP in Illinois tell me, oh, your district isn't one of the ones, like that's a focus for us because you know it's a a dim plus 24 or whatever it is. | ||
| And I'm like, I don't care what I don't care what the data says. | ||
|
unidentified
|
You've for one, you've never had a candidate like me. | |
| And for me to Be in this area, this is the best shot you will ever have. | ||
| So to have multiple GOP people still tell me, oh, you know, I don't really know if you know we're gonna spend there, but we're gonna spend in some random area in Illinois, um, because that's an easier win. | ||
| The GOP needs to buck up. | ||
| Yep. | ||
| They need to buck up, and the actual person who's over the GOP in Illinois, they need to have somebody who has more of a mind for strategy because I'm pretty fed up to be honest, as a person who's a I still consider myself, I'm just a citizen, a person who decided to go for it. | ||
| That's it's nothing different about me. | ||
| I'm a regular I'm a mama for I just did homeschool this morning before this interview. | ||
| I'm a regular woman, made my husband breakfast this morning because this is off day. | ||
| Like I'm I'm normal. | ||
| Um, but when I look at this from a business perspective, because I'm a business person as well, there's a lack of strategy. | ||
| Why is the reg Republican Party, even at the national level, not investing in more digital, uh digital media? | ||
| Why are they not going out and making sure that they have an infrastructure to tell the stories they need to have? | ||
| We're still missing the plot when it comes to really selling what it means to be a Republican and to be conservative and to care about the country and be a patriot. | ||
| Being a Republican is a I mean, being a conservative and loving America is awesome. | ||
| The military is awesome. | ||
|
unidentified
|
That's why we don't have enough young men going into the military now where people are terrified of the National Guard because people know nothing about the military. | |
| Heg Seth is turning it around though. | ||
| Heg Seth is doing a great job. | ||
| I love what he's doing. | ||
| Recruitment is up. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| Well, what what the what the GOP needs to understand it, uh, you look at the Democrats and they keep producing these squad member social media personality influencer types. | ||
| It works for them. | ||
| Not that they're doing all too well right now, to be completely honest. | ||
| But when you think about who are the most prominent Republicans, it's a bunch of stodgy suit wearing, you know, they're nerds. | ||
| They're they're not they're not approachable by the average person. | ||
| There's there's there's something good to the professional in the quorum and that I can respect, but you need to get personal and personable. | ||
| And I I'll I'll say this. | ||
| In in your district, especially, for a place like Chicago, the GOP should be investing to erode and br and chip away at these strongholds. | ||
| Otherwise, you're just crossing your fingers that you can try and win in a swing district, but then all you're really doing is having a battle over gerrymandering instead of actually trying to win the argument. | ||
| But uh we are we are close to uh wrapping up. | ||
| So if you have any final thoughts or you wanna let people know where they can find you. | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| So I want people to uh definitely visit my website, Christian Maxwell for Congress.com. | ||
| I can't do this for Illinois without you. | ||
| Even if you're not an Illinois and you're an American citizen, oh, victory in Illinois is a victory for the U.S. And I mean that. | ||
| Illinois is a stronghold for some of the most corrupt dysfunction that plagues our country in general. | ||
| And a lot of the things that they try here and test here spreads to other areas. | ||
| Prisker loves the work that he's doing, and he's going and tampering in other people's elections, going into places like I think he went into Wisconsin and all of those areas. | ||
| Don't let people like him win here because he will spread his dysfunction via his not-for-profit all throughout the country. | ||
| And he's already doing it. | ||
| So if you're a person who wants to be a part of creating the best future, the best chance we have for a better future in America, invest in my election, spread the message, look for more people you can help in Illinois because a victory here is a victory for all of us. | ||
| And we truly do need help because Illinois is basically North Korea at this point. | ||
| And we just need we need help. | ||
| We need help. | ||
| So send help. | ||
| Trump, I hope you see this. | ||
