Here is your host, Ryan Standard.

SPEAKER_09 0:51

Hello, America. Welcome on this beautiful, amazing Monday evening. For those of you listening in on the podcast, don't forget that you can tune in Monday through Friday at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. What we're gonna do soon, and I don't know how soon, but it's definitely something that's gonna be done is I'm going to separate the live shows from the podcast. So right now I do the podcast. Everything is live, nothing is pre-recorded, nothing is scripted. Sometimes I have a little scripts, but nothing, everything is 100%, 90% of the time, 95, 99% of the time off of the cuff. I'm gonna start doing only podcast recordings, and then the live show is just gonna be the live show dedicated to the live show. I'm trying to drive more people to the live show. The podcast is great. The podcast is booming. Um, it's bigger than I ever thought it would be when I first started. I first started this simply out of frustration with Joe Biden's vaccine mandate. And, you know, now all of a sudden I've had Donald Trump Jr., Ted Nugent, Sarah Palin, Hodgswins all endorse my show. And uh so grateful and thankful um that all of this came that way. So we're making some changes to the show. I think good changes, great changes. We're gonna start bringing some guests on. I have a list of people who email me all the time that they're just asking me, Ryan, when can I get on your show? When can I get on your show? And I'm trying to incorporate that in to make it a little bit more interactive for everybody. So big things coming. I'm also uh not sitting tonight, if you haven't noticed. I've I I got this beautiful, wonderful standing desk here that is gonna hopefully help me uh with my blood flow in my lower back so I don't wind up in the hospital. I'm getting old. So, but thank you everybody for being here tonight. We are gonna talk about this reflecting pool. And the reason we're gonna talk about this reflecting pool or these reflecting pools is because I am so sick and tired of just hearing about it. I'm so sick and tired of just hearing about it. Here's what's going on. Donald Trump spent millions of dollars in fixing the reflecting pools at the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, um, completely remodeled them. I think he spent 12 or 13 million dollars to make them beautiful. Say what you want about Donald Trump. This is his bread and butter. This is what Donald Trump does. Donald Trump knows how to build things very beautifully. He does. I mean, look at any of his buildings. They're gorgeous, they're great. He has an incredible eye for perfection and does not tolerate imperfection. If you ever, there's a documentary I watched years ago where on Donald Trump's uh on his airplane and how when he came onto his airplane, if he saw one little nick, one little smudge on one little seatbelt, um, he would not be happy with the crew. So they were incredibly detailed in everything that they did because Donald Trump, and this is not me being a Trump fan or kissing his butt. This is just a fact of who he is as a person. Donald Trump likes things to be great and likes things to be perfect. He's also an experienced developer who knows how to build massive buildings, who knows how to build pools, who knows what to do, how to do, and the people to do it. So here's kind of the story in a nutshell. The story in the nutshell is this Donald Trump rebuilt the reflective pools and he did such a crappy job that they're now destroyed, right? That's what the left is trying to say. What Donald Trump is saying is the left is coming in here and destroying it. Which one is more believable? Which one makes more sense? Which one makes more logical sense? The guy who became a two-time president of the United States, built one of the richest people to ever live in the world, because of his incredible skills at building things, destroyed the pools. Or they're being vandalized. This is the question we are going to answer tonight. Don't forget, you can call into the show at 561-786-2916. Don't forget to visit RyanFsamuels.com, subscribe to the blog. We have, I think, 6,000 subscribers on the blog right now. That's awesome. That's amazing. Need some more though. So get on there, subscribe to the blog. We will be right back, and we're going to cover this story. We're also, if there is time, I'm not certain there's going to be time, but we're going to talk about Dearborn, Michigan, and this march of uh Islamic, I guess. I don't know if they're radicals or but there's basically this insane Muslim march where they were chanting and screaming and blocking roads. We're going to take a look into that and we're going to kind of do that together because I really haven't done it yet. We'll be right back. So, of course, the left is trying to blame Donald Trump for everything because they cannot be happy with a beautiful Washington, D.C. They cannot be proven wrong with a beautiful Washington, D.C. You have the National Guard standing around the reflecting pools in Washington, D.C. to stop people from vandalizing them. There have been seven people arrested by the Park Service for vandalizing the pool. They've fenced it off, they've tarped it up, they've had to do major repairs on the $14 million project because the left just cannot allow him to succeed and do anything well. So that's what you have. You have this amazing, incredible, experienced developer who's developed billions of dollars worth of property, amassed more fortune than most people have ever lived combined, and builds this beautiful pool, these beautiful things. And people are going in and cutting the liner. There's three hundred there's a 350-foot gash in the liner, um, and they arrested seven people for this. But the left can't admit that because the left wants Donald Trump to be destroyed so bad and to look so bad that they're willing to embarrass the country. That they're willing to go and vandalize it just to break the good spirits that everybody was experiencing. Even when they first the pool was first done, everybody came out and they were like, oh my goodness, at first I was against this. This is great. This is amazing. The pool looks fantastic, the reflection is beautiful, it is clean, and now all of a sudden it's full of algae and it's been cut full of holes. I'm not buying it. I'm not buying the fact that that happened naturally, but this is what the left would like you to believe. Here is the view. Now, the view, of course, is elated to find out that Donald Trump's project um cost millions of dollars in taxpayer money and it wasn't a success. They cheer that on because they don't want America to succeed. They only want their perception of one human being to proceed above all others. They only want to be right. And they're willing to watch the the country be destroyed over it. They actively celebrate against not only Donald Trump, but America. That's something I would never do. Is that something you would do? I don't know. You tell me. I I don't know what you would do, but it seems that rooting against the United States of America is a bad idea. You know, I was against Barack Obama builting the building a basketball court. I I thought because he really loved basketball. He thought basketball was phenomenal. It was his favorite sport. It was one of his favorite things to do. He used to do it in Chicago when he was a community organizer. He used to play with the kids. He did it for himself, was my position. He didn't do it for everybody else. The reflecting pool was for everybody else. I was against it. But if a foreign national came to play and our president was hosting them and they tripped over a crack because he didn't publish it or build it correctly, I would not be cheering that because the United States looks bad. I would not be happy that, oh my God, Barack Obama's basketball court's falling to pieces. That would never cross my mind. Because in the end, with all of our differences, I want the United States of America to win, regardless of the party. Here is the view. This is a long video. I don't know if we're gonna have time to watch it all, but we're gonna watch it and kind of break it down. Just look at Whoopi's face. Just look, she's praying like she was praying to God. I have not watched this. I watched maybe the first 30 seconds of it, but let's hear what she has to say.

SPEAKER_15 10:14

You know whose multi-million dollar renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflected Pool? Well, it's not going well. It's not going well. Apparently, it's overrun with Alt lining the bottom is peeled off in clumps. Very much like his presidency. But he is claiming that vandals are too bad. He says they illegally place chemicals in the water and left a 300-foot gash in the pool. Now, five people are said to have been arrested.

SPEAKER_09 11:13

He says Seven people have been arrested.

SPEAKER_15 11:16

A 10-year prison sentence will be strictly enforced. Oh. Well, if he's saying he's going to jail for 10 years, I'm gonna let him go.

SPEAKER_09 11:29

Because it doesn't even make any sense. These people are so out of touch with reality, but look how elated she is. Right? Look, look at the ill the the how elated and how thrilled she is that this is happening to one of our nation's most beautiful mom monuments, to Abraham Lincoln's monument. You know, the Republican who freed the slaves, whoopee. You should be ashamed that that happened. You should be concerned that that happened. You should say, listen, you know, we kind of um thought that this might happen. We warned him about the pool. It appears he did a really bad job. I think that this is bad for the country. That's a more proper response. Not to be excited and elated and thrilled that this is happening and totally refute his claim of um vandalism, like just off the bat, with no with no advice, no evidence, no video or anything to prove that that's not what's happening. Because that's precisely what he's saying is happening. That's what precisely the parks department is saying is what's happening. That's what the Secretary of Interior is saying is what's happening. But not Whoopi. She's supposed to be some sort of authority instead of just some lady who sits at a desk. I mean, I don't know what she does to contribute to the United States of America other than be a thorn in its side. That's just my opinion. Let's listen a little bit more.

SPEAKER_15 13:06

I mean, it seems to me that had he not messed with, you know, it would still be a reflecting pool instead of a liquid jungle. Which is what it looks like. But to accuse five people of doing this, but seemingly there's no proof because I want to know who left a 300-foot gash in the pool and nobody would. And I can't like it. And nobody would see it.

SPEAKER_09 13:40

I mean it's a pool. People are in the pool all the time. You couldn't walk down the middle, or I couldn't walk into the center of the pool, kind of drag my feet, or bend down, do five feet here, ten feet there, fifteen feet here, and five or six people do ten feet.

SPEAKER_16 14:05

You hit the mark.

SPEAKER_09 14:10

You know, it's not like anybody's stopping anybody from going in the the pool with the Lincoln Memorial.

SPEAKER_15 15:56

And you know, they have been trying to clean this up since before it actually turned green green. Well, it was when it was turning kind of pseudo-green. But so what do you make of all of this? Listen, I could sit here and hear you laugh about it the entire hour, but okay, let's discuss this. But look at this. I mean, they look like they're they are fishing in the repetitive. They're trying to get they're trying to get the algae out. This thing never had algae before.

SPEAKER_09 16:27

That's not true. It 100% had algae under Barack Obama. There's videos, uh, Michelle Obama, I think they even talked about it. Michelle Obama talked about it, and Barack Obama talked about it and how it was horrible. This has been a problem forever. But when a professional company comes in, like a pool company, and they dump hydrogen peroxide in there, which is kind of like chlorine for your pool. If you hire your pools turn green. When I was younger, uh, we had pools and our pool turned green every once in a while. My neighbor's pool turned green. There were things you had to do to maintain it and prevent it, but they turned green. And then when you hire a company, you could do it yourself. Or if you hire a protect professional company, the green goes away. They take the green and they eliminate it. They go in there, they kill it, they shock it, they scrub it, it's done, and it's good for like another year. So they did that when they when they relined it with the blue reflective pool. They completely cleaned it. It is a mathematical anomaly that algae would form on its own without help, not even a month later. It would be incredibly tough, incredibly challenging for that to happen. Now, I don't know if anybody's dumping algae in there. I don't know. How could you possibly know? Tens of thousands of people go there. Hundreds of thousands of people visit the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, uh in a few months, hundreds of thousands of people. So if a couple of these Reddit people went on there and 30 of them went once every 10 days and dumped in a little bit of algae, I don't know. I'm not saying that that that's what happened. We know we can most certainly say that somebody cut a gash in it because they've been arrested for it and they were caught on video, which we have and we're gonna watch. But I want to hear a little bit more of the view because this is just as ridiculous as the grass.

SPEAKER_05 18:29

He looks as green as the MVS for I used to jump into this all the time when I lived in DC.

SPEAKER_14 18:42

It's it's beautiful. One of the things I loved is you'd see ducks and geese swimming in it. Listen, it wasn't always the cleanest thing, but like wildlife could safely live in it. There was a photo woman on X of a duck that had died in it because now there's all these chemicals they're putting in it. They're putting in hydrogen peroxide. Listen, I kind of get the sense that'll peel the paint. I get the sense from time. No time that the president would rather be on like property brothers than like govern with everything that's going on. Like deal with healthcare, deal with inflation, the war in Iran, this is not a good deal.

SPEAKER_09 19:18

They're just they're happy about it. And it's a shame. It's uh it's it's a shame that we've come to that in in political discussion, right? That we're absolutely that we're celebrating the failures of something somebody did because of what political party they're on. Because now we have something, we have ammunition to go and attack him with this reflective pool. They're celebrating it. They want what's bad for the country. That's what they want. They don't want Donald Trump to succeed, and they don't care if the country looks bad in his failure. They want that. That's what they want. We're being told that absolutely it's been done by vandals. That's what we're being told. That is the official story. Although I don't always trust official stories, I just have a little bit of common sense. So earlier, what I was saying was they just completely redid the entire pool. They cleaned it, it looked perfect. There is a a very unlikelihood that the algae formed. This is this is clips of the uh of the pool shortly after it was fixed, and they have the National Guard out there protecting it from vandals. Look at that. Look how gorgeous that is. In the liner. Look at that. The reflection is perfect, the crane's there for them still working on it. That's just some footage of them working on it, but it looks great. For algae to grow that quick would be extremely improbable. Extremely improbable. Here is Donald Trump talking about I believe this video, he's talking about the pool. Let's watch it.

SPEAKER_13 21:46

I thought I'd bring up a subject of interest. I do a lot of this as president and try and save money. And one was the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which is Donald Trump talking about the reflective pool before he did the program. Which everybody knows that's where Martin Luther King made his great speech, and where others have likewise made great speeches and great events held there. It's very famous. It was built in 1922, and it's more than 2,000 feet long. It's 167 feet wide. It's very big. That's like taller than any skyscraper, 2,000 feet. And here's a picture of it. You probably recognize it. Right now it's got no water in it because it was in terrible shape. It was filthy, dirty, and it leaked like a sieve for many years. So I actually went over, went with Secret Service and a group of people, and I took a look at it. One of the people with me was Doug Bergamor, great Secretary of the Interior. This comes under his purview, and he said, yes, we've had a lot of problems with it. It's not working, it hasn't worked for many years, and it's always filthy dirty. And I said, Well, we're gonna solve the problem. And they had bids to fix it. They were going to take the stone out, which was granite, very expensive, very thick, and replace it with stone, and it was gonna cost $300 million, and it was gonna take maybe more than three years. And I said, No, there's a better way of doing it. I said, What we're gonna do is I'm gonna call all three of these people that have worked for me in the past doing swimming pools. That's all they can do is a swimming pool.

SPEAKER_09 23:32

So these people are people that have built pools in like Tron. Tower or the Trump Casino in Atlantic City. Gorgeous, gorgeous pools, big pools, massive pools. I mean, we're talking pools that are 10 times bigger than Olympic pools in some cases, right? Massive luxurious pools. Professional people who do this for a living. That is who he hired because that is what he's been doing his entire life.

SPEAKER_13 24:00

And I said, give me a good price. We can do it for maybe a million and a half to two million dollars as opposed to $300 million. We scrubbed the surface of the existing granite that's been there since 1922. We then grouted all of the granite, fixed it up, took about two weeks, and now we have a nice clean surface on which we're putting an industrial grade swimming pool topping. And they said, What color would you like, sir? It's called American flag blue. I said, That's the color I want. I want American flag blue. It'll last for 40 or 50 years.

SPEAKER_09 24:46

40 or 50 years, this pool liner. It's a pool liner, is what he's saying. It's a pool liner that is designed to last 40 or 50 years. And in three or four weeks of it being laid by professional people who've built the biggest and best pools in the in the history of the world, right? 40 or 50 years, it rips on day seven or eight. This is the story of the Democrats.

SPEAKER_13 25:12

There'll be no leaks, there'll be no anything, it'll look gorgeous, beautiful. So it's a story in business. And here's the difference. Because somebody said, well, sure. But one, wouldn't it be a better job? I said, no, no. This is a much better job for much less money. It will look far more beautiful. More beautiful than it did in 1922 when they built it. Much more beautiful. So we build it in much less time for much less money. But I don't mean much less. I mean numbers that nobody can even believe. So it's a million and a half dollars versus 300.

SPEAKER_09 25:45

It's two weeks. But now it's going to cost significantly more money because they have to fix the liner, they have to clean out the algae, they have to do tons of repairs to this. Even CNN is running cover here. CNN has spent more time on this pool than they did on George Floyd's case. CNN is actively has somebody stationed at the reflecting pool to give updates.

SPEAKER_12 26:42

Lots of it. And I will point out that algae comes from microscopic spores. So that does not offer any proof that the algae is gone. What's more, that famous blue coating on the bottom, look, right there is some of it. And this is one of the areas that has been passed over some. Same all the way around here. I've walked the rim here over and over again. There are very few places, John, where you can see this famous blue color even at all, let alone in a big expanse of clear shining water. So right now, John, we we don't know if it's the bottom coming up. What we know is that there are big pieces of blue stuff coming up from near the bottom. We don't have any other explanation for it. John?

SPEAKER_11 27:27

It's so interesting. And Tom, I'm so glad you just showed us that look there, really pushed in, because that's the first time you really saw any blue at all there, and you had to really focus and you could see. You know, it it it is hard to see. And those people behind you, they're just vacuuming full time. I mean, is this going to be a permanent thing? People standing in the pool vacuuming.

SPEAKER_12 27:45

Yeah, they've been they were out here, there were a there were more than a dozen of them out here all day long yesterday, doing just that, working steadily to try to clear it. There's no doubt that federal workers and the people who are out here are doing the best job they can to try to deal with this. But the result is not this clear pool with this glowing, even though it was controversial, this glowing blue bottom that the administration said they were working toward. That absolutely has not appeared for $14 million. What has here is kind of what was here before in the eyes of many people passing by, and about as bad as it's ever been. John? All right. Interesting to see this play out so I mean the the anchor, they're laughing.

SPEAKER_09 28:34

He can barely contain himself. Now, here is I'm gonna pull this up. This is an article. I have not read this yet. I was told to read it. Park police see seek suspect in Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool damage. President Donald Trump's pool cops have identified a person of interest in the ongoing saga over the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. The U.S. Park Police shared a notice on Wednesday pleading for assistance in identifying any unknown suspect who allegedly vandalized the reflecting pool, which has turned into a mess of green slime after the president's failed renovation. The United States Park Police is seeking assistance in identifying the individual depicted here in the connection with the destruction of government property investigation. The agency said in a statement shared to social media, the incident occurred on June 19, 2026, at approximately 3:36 p.m. at the reflecting pool on the grounds of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Okay. Here are some pictures. I'm not going to be able to open that up. Here you go. Here are pictures. These are pictures from the surveillance video. Let me see if I can open this. Honed in on this group of people sticking their hand in. As you can see, the reflecting pool at this moment, on June 19th, is a gorgeous shade of blue. I can see that by looking at this picture. This is somebody here, their hand is in the water. Um, and then it looks like they have a group of people uh with them and behind them. So this this is early on. This is early on in the investigation that they're talking about. The park police included a video of the suspect who appeared to splash around in the water before reaching in and grabbing what looks like a flap of American flag blue paint. Huh? So whoopee, there's somebody on video reaching their hand in and pulling out a piece of the bottom of the reflecting pool. Trump 80 has stirred I love that they put his age in there. Trump, who's 80 years old, he's gotta be 80 years old, has stirred up quite a stink around his disastrous renovation of the reflecting pool. He spent over 16 million dollars to repaint its basin and fix its cracks and leaks. Since it was refilled, the reflecting pool has exploded in its worst algae bloom in years, turning its water into a green swampy mess. The likelihood, again, I I don't know how where did the algae come from? It just they cleaned out the they drained the whole pool, they cleaned out the entire pool, they relined the entire bottom of the pool. Where did the algae come from? Maybe when somebody ripped up the bottom, there was some algae left on the I I don't know. Maybe somebody dumped in something that would perpetuate some algae. I don't know. Maybe Donald Trump's people totally screwed up and didn't do the job properly. That's that could be it too. But they have people on video reaching in and ripping up pieces of the pool. And in Africa to mitigate the algae growth, workers have poured hydrogen peroxide into the water and scraped the pool day after day to remove the marshy muck, but with limited success. Witnesses have reported flakes of blue paint rising up from the surface of the pool, and at least two ducks have been found dead in its water within the last week. It's a picture of a dead duck. Sorry. The issue seems to be at the top of the president's priority list as he continuously bemoans alleged leftist vandals who he claims cut up the pool and poured fertilizer into its water to spur algae growth. It wouldn't be hard to tell if they tested the water. They could find out if there's fertilizer or certain other chemicals that have been poured in. Maybe that's where he got that from. Trump has said that at least six people have been arrested and seven others cited as a result of investigations into alleged destruction of federal property. It was purposefully and criminally done, and somebody had to work very hard, probably in the dark of night, Trump wrote on South Truth Social. However, the administration has yet to provide any tangible evidence. I love that this article has a video linked in the article that people have been van of people vandalizing it. And then they continue to say, oh, Donald Trump has presented no proof. Donald Trump has presented no proof. The proof is in your article. Yeah, now of course you're innocent until proven guilty. I firmly believe that. But there's reasonable enough suspicion to believe that there's been some serious vandalism going on. However, the Trump administration has yet to provide any tangible evidence, such as photos or videos of anyone slashing up the pool, as the president has alleged. There's a video in your article of somebody ripping it up. Obviously, they don't see a knife. There's no cameras under the water, but somebody reaches their hand in and pulls up the bottom of the pool. Trump brought up the reflecting pool during a street uh speech at the Great American State Fair on Wednesday night, saying that alleged vandals have largely been caught and that the evidence would be seen in court. CNN anchor Caitlin Collins pointed out on Wednesday that the president himself said last month that it would be impossible to cut the cool's lining with a knife. This will last for 50 years. That's not the quote he said. We heard it. I just read it. They're misquoting. 40 to 50. Trump said on May 4th, you'll never have a leak. It's very strong. You couldn't if you had a knife. I don't think anybody ideas if you had a knife. I don't, I didn't hear that in a video we watched. Maybe it's another portion of it. So strong, so powerful, it's like rubber. It's beautifully sealed. I love the way he talks. The president shared that the pool would be emptied and refilled either immediately before or after the 4th of July to do the to do the permanent repair, no doubt dashing his spirits ahead of his planned festivities for the nation. Um 250th anniversary. A video shared by Donald Trump's White House staffer, Margot Martin, whom the president once called his most beautiful aide, is receiving severe backlash. Martin Thurdy shared a video of the president walking through Lafayette Square in public park directly north of the White House. Trump in the interior, Doug Bergum walked through Lafayette Square to view recent renovations. What's controversial about this video?

SPEAKER_11 36:09

Yes, sir. But this these haven't been out here since 2020, so they were just put out last week.

SPEAKER_09 36:18

This is a this is a controversial video. Looks like he's just walking around checking it because the nation has its biggest celebration in its history coming up this 4th of July. That's what that's what it sounds like to me. I don't understand. Anyway. But the pool is not looking good right now. The Fourth of July is right around the corner. And if this is being done, right, we don't know if maybe the contractor screwed up. We don't really know. A kid sticking his hand in and pulling up a piece of the bottom doesn't necessarily mean that he um vandalized it, but they did arrest him. So in order to arrest somebody, you you have to have reasonable suspicion, you have to have probable cause for the arrest. And sticking your hand in is not probable cause enough for for for the arrest. Maybe if you stuck your hand in and then you had a knife in your hand, maybe and then the piece and the knife, they kind of fit together. I'm not really sure. But you have to have reasons to arrest or cite people. Police cannot just do that on their own without without some sort of probable cause. I mean, you you see police officers get arrested and go to jail for the rest of their life for restricting people's freedom, for using deadly force when it is authorized, let alone arresting people for no reason and locking them up without cause. Does it happen? Oh all the time. But for the National Park Service, I don't think that's something that they do very often. I think it happens to your local police officer who gets caught up in uh POP or pissed off police with a person, and they have a tremendous amount of power that they can they can sway one way or another, and sometimes they do unjustfully. But I don't think that the park police are in cahoots with the president of the United States slapping cuffs on people, making them suffer their liberty being taken away from them without probable cause, just so that the president of the United States will have a headline. But that's that's what the left would like you to believe. But if the left is vandalizing the pool to make America look bad just to get back at Donald Trump for existing, then this is more of a case on why anybody could ever be a Democrat. I I I'll never understand that. You know, back in the 70s or 80s or even 90s when I was a kid. I was an 80s kid, man. I was raised on Ronald Reagan. But I'll never understand how how one could be a Democrat. They they want to destroy the country. That's what they want to do. And if they're not destroying the country, they're celebrating an embarrassing event like this for the country. Forget for Donald Trump. Donald Trump doesn't get embarrassed, he doesn't care. But the United States of America is about to celebrate its 250th anniversary. The president at office is trying to clean up DC to get ready for this massive event in five days. And what we have is seven people who've been caught. How many other people have not been caught? The pool is 2,000 feet long. 2,000 feet is massive. It is massive. Maintaining that is a full-time job. But for somebody to go in there and cut it with a knife, 350 feet, it a straight shot of 350 feet didn't magically fall apart on its own. Here is Carolyn Levitt. Here's what she had to say.

SPEAKER_00 40:27

The vandalism is very real. Um, despite what Tim Walls wants to say, it's an imaginary problem. No, it is not. It's a very real problem. In fact, I spoke with the National Park Service just before joining the show. They now have 17 police reports that have been filed in just a matter of a few days. There's actually been six arrests at the reflecting pool where getting these deranged individuals, many of them longtime donors to the Democrat Party, to Barack Obama, to Act Blue, that have been vandalizing and desecrating our federal monument, one of the most beautiful monuments in the world, the reflecting pool. And that's why President Trump is not going to stop with this effort. We're gonna not only hold those people accountable, but we're going to fix the pool, make it, continue to make it beautiful from this despicable vandalism just in time to celebrate our nation's 250th birthday next week.

SPEAKER_09 41:17

The vandalism Remember, they only win when they cheat. They only win when they cheat. That is the only time Democrats have anything to show for anything that they've done. At least recent Democrats. The only way to make Donald look Donald Trump look bad is we will hire somebody to deliver a report from the FBI um about him colluding with Russia. They have to sabotage because they can't find anything that he's really doing wrong. He wants to rebuild the monuments ahead of the 250th anniversary. Oh, nope, can't have that. Um, we will destroy America's monuments. That's what we're gonna do. Hey Laura, how are you? Great to see you. Thank you for coming. She said, I was registered as a Democrat since I was 18, back in 05. Now paying attention in my 30s, no way I can align myself with the party anymore. Time and time again, they prove who they who they were. It's true. It really is true. And there was a time when the Democratic Party really stood for something. You know, they really, particularly free speech. They they were adamant, they they stood on pillars, they fought over free speech, free speech, free speech, free speech until 2020. Then in 2020, speech was violence. Speech was oh oh man. Words are literally violence. Words are violence. Saying bad words is the identical thing as to physically assaulting or killing somebody. We have uh Antifa, anti-fascist. And what we do is anybody who opposes our view, we go out there and silence them for speaking. That's what the Democrats have become. They're lunatics, they're absolute lunatics. And Laura, I'm glad to have you on our side. I think we're gonna get this thing done. I th I hope we get this uh this liner fixed and this algae out. They're gonna have to shock it, they're gonna have to push really hard to keep this from getting just looking horrible for the um for the 250th anniversary. It's our nation's capital. It's the pride, it should be the pride of every American. I don't care who's in office. You know, Democrats, Abraham Lincoln, who destroying his memorial. I mean, he like, come on. Come on. Dearborn, Michigan is the has uh has the highest concentration of uh uh Islamic American citizens or Islamic immigrants uh uh in the country. So it has the they just came out the other day and they marched, and there were thousands of them waving their Islamic flags, um, taken to the streets, praying in the streets. And a lot of people are very upset at this, right? Dearborn, Michigan has been a topic of discussion. I don't even know for how long, um, with their population. They have found in the past there have been suspicion of terrorist cells in deer in Dearborn, Michigan. The demographics have a very high concentration of Middle Eastern immigrants and refugees. Um there's reports of areas where English is a secondary uh is a secondary language, and American flags are increasingly more rare. Right? Um They also have in Dearborn, Michigan, they have these uh very large pro Palestinian rallies, right? Some of some with anti American, anti Israel charge, Hezbollah imagery in past events where they actually celebrate the death of Jews. If in Islam, right? And a lot of these radical fundamentalist groups, they're not happy if you're living and you're a Christian or or a Jew, they're not happy that you're living, right? That's not everybody. But this apparently this area is becoming increasingly, increasingly more radical, where they are celebrating the death of Israelis, and they are very pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas, even. They've been blocking traffic, having massive confrontations, calls for Sharia law influence policies in some community leaders. So they've infiltrated it so much that their community leaders are now being elected to align with their views. This is Dearborn, Michigan, just went maximum. This is from Eric Daugherty. I should probably pull it up on the screen so we can all enjoy it, Ryan. This is uh they just want maximum Islam fighting the streets, making clear they're here to conquer, not assimilate. This is why Islam needs to be repelled. This is thousands, right? Thousands of them. They're wearing, they're they're waving Palestinian flags, Islamic flags. I'm all about practicing your religion, man. I I really am. Um but when you support the October 7th massacre and you celebrate the October 7th massacre, which many of these individuals did in Dearborn, Michigan, uh you're no longer practicing your freedom of religion. There are plenty of Muslims who live in the United States of America who don't celebrate the death of young children because of their religion. This this group is apparently and allegedly not one of those people. Look at just look. Look how many there are. Is this the result of wide open borders under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for four years? Where millions of Americans flooded over the border? Possible, I read. How many, how many Iranian supporters are there that are upset that Donald Trump and the Trump administration, United States of America, bombed Iran to protect to protect themselves and Israel from nuclear annihilation. You think they're happy about that? How many of these people have been vetted? How many of these people love the United States of America? That should be a requirement to be here. You should be assimilating to the cultures of the United States of America if you want to come. Nobody's telling you not to practice your religion. We have a constitution that guarantees to practice your religion. The concern is are you practicing your religion peacefully? Is your intent to hurt us? Listen, I was in the Marine Corps, I was an infantryman, 2005-2010. Wonderful people who live in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also very bad people that live in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you Andrew Tate actually said this. This is just off the top of my head. And I never talk about Andrew Tate. I'm not really a huge Andrew Tate guy. But Andrew Tate is a Muslim. And he says, you're not a real or true Muslim unless you you want to or you practice jihad. Google it. Look it up. Fact check me live right now. So the the more into the religion that you are, the more likely you are to hurt people if you follow certain precepts. You could say that about Christianity, but I think in the end, Christianity leaves you to peace. Leads you to peace and prosperity. It doesn't lead you to violence. There's nothing in there saying go out and murder everybody. But I mean they're they're parading in the streets and there's an ISIS flag there. That's that's a problem. This is them praying. So terrorism is heightened right now. I think they just heightened the terror, the terror threat in the United States because of the Iran situation. Hopefully we get that resolved and we don't really have to worry about terrorist attacks. But the um the concern is always there. But just I mean, and again, I I know I sound like I'm talking crazy because I jump back and forth. But it's true, you got to be careful because you don't know who's who in these groups is the problem. You don't know who's who, you don't know who's the extremist and who's not the extremist. You have a church, you have a uh a mosque set up that is full of non-extremists, and then there's like a subtle group of extremists under them. Okay. Is it it's definitely concerning to me. I'm sorry. It's concerning, um, but I'm sure our people are on it. Here's another video. Just so many of them. There's tens of thousands. It's the largest Muslim population in the country. Is Dearborn, Michigan? Here is um, here's the Muslim police chief, Isa Shaheen. Stands proudly in front of the Lebanese flag. So he's standing in front of a Lebanese flag. This is the police chief of Dearborn, Michigan. The flags from Lebanon. It's not even the state flag, it's not an army flag, navy flag, marine corps flag. I don't know. Maybe he's a he's a member of the Moose Lodge. It's a moose flag. It's not, it's a it's a foreign nations flag. And he's a duly elected official of Dearborn, Michigan. So you explain to me how the hell that is happening. What's and I haven't even heard what I just searched this and found this right now.

SPEAKER_01 54:00

Wonderful wife Deanna, a strong, proud Palestinian woman. When I joined the department, Dearborn's Arab American population was nearly 50%. Yet less, yet less than 3% of our police force reflected the community that we served. The department was not always welcoming to people who were different. Today, the Dearborn Police Department is the department that I wish I worked for when I first started my career. It's now a department that reflects and embraces the community it serves, with 45% of our Arab our officers being Arab American. It's a department that respects the dignity and rights of all individuals, including the right to wear a hijab, even when facing the justice system. It's a department that has taken meaningful steps to address historical inequities. Together, we've built a police department that values diversity, equity, and respect. One that serves all of deer born with honor and integrity. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

SPEAKER_09 54:52

Now he's speaking in Arabic.

SPEAKER_16 54:54

I'm proud to serve as your chief of police. I wonder. I mean, what do you what do you call that?

SPEAKER_09 55:06

You call that an invasion? Where they've taken over a city? Here's another clip of them dancing in the street. Justice for what? For being able to come into the greatest country in the world, get your citizenship, totally take over a city, infiltrate its police department, and remove fifty percent of them, and increase it to 50% of you, and enjoy all the benefits of being an American, including running in the streets talking about how you're not the biggest fan of them. I mean, is that the justice that you're that you're looking for? I mean, what did the 12th annual march for justice? This is not Iran. This is not Lebanon. This is Dearborn, Michigan.

SPEAKER_07 57:36

Welcome to Dearborn's annual march for justice. This march commemorates Imam Hussein's unwavering commitment to justice and the stand that he took over 1400 years ago standing against oppression. And it's a commitment that we renew each and every single day, each and every single year, this march for justice that we're so proud to host in the city of Dearborn.

SPEAKER_09 58:11

Here is Dearborn Mayor Howmoud. The entire point of America is not assimilating to culture and the language.

SPEAKER_08 58:31

Why are my videos subtitled in Arabic? Why is my caption both in English and Arabic? People get frustrated by this. But to me, it's like I actually disavow the use of the term the melting pot. I actually don't like it. Why? Because in a melting pot, when you're talking about like a soup, everything looks the same. Right. Where the salad bowl. The lettuce is lettuce, the tomato is tomato, the cucumber is cucumber.

SPEAKER_09 58:53

And the fucking idiot's a fucking idiot. This is the mayor of Dearborn, Michigan, who's saying you shouldn't assimilate. Who's saying you don't need to learn the language of the country you're moving to? Who's saying you don't need to practice um their customs and courtesies? That's what he just said. He said our years of tradition of being a melted hot, melting pot, or not. We're actually a salad. This is America, dude. We're T-bone steak. We're a salad. But this is the culture. So they've infiltrated this city. They've completely taken it over. The people who have been there for generations have left because they don't want to be around it. They don't respect the American culture. They've elected a mayor who clearly just said to you and the world that he does not think that anybody coming here to join the United States of America is coming for or should have to change their language to English. He said it. He said it to you. There is no argument that you can make that coming to the United States of America and not learning English. There's no argument that you can make. How are you going to talk to people? Who are you going to talk to? It's part of the citizenship program. You have to learn English. Unless you evaded the citizenship program and you illegally entered the country and you're working under the table. Or how many how many extremists came across the border under Joe Biden? This is something we're ever going to know. How many Iranian sleeper cells are they in the United States of America? I mean, that's what happened on 9-11. They didn't invade us on 9-11. There were guys that were here. They came in. They came to the country. They they hijacked the plane. How many of them came to the border? Unvetted, unchecked. And wound up in Dearborn, Michigan, or anywhere else? This is just the Islamic part, is just the part I'm talking about. How many of the cartel members, how many murderers, how many um foreign nations wanted to get rid of psychopaths in their country and just ship them to America and threw them across our border? Forget about all of those. Because the topic is Dearborn, Michigan. That's what we're talking about. So if how many how many how many terrorists are in the United States of America? Who's looking at it? How are you gonna find them? You go to the mall with your family? You go out to dinner? Who's protecting you from some lunatic radical walking in and tear gassing the place and committing violent acts against everybody you know and love? I hope you practice your second member, your second amendment, right? I hope nobody gets in the middle of your second amendment right. I hope that you're vigilant and you're looking around you. Because the one thing that you need to learn about radical Islamic fundamentals is they want you dead. That's their entire reason for living. That's what they want. This is not every Muslim. Don't go out there yelling and hating every Muslim because there are Muslims that are great, wonderful, awesome people. Marcus Luttrell is the perfect example of that. He was rescued by local villagers when he got lost in Afghanistan. Complete Muslims. But the radical fundamentalists are the problem. But they're obviously here. If you're walking around with ISIS flags, that's a radical fundamentalist group. So what's stopping anybody from hurting a bunch of people? And we have the left caring about a reflecting pool. Not caring about it, they don't want it to be nice, they're actively trying to destroy it from becoming nice. And then celebrating it if it is not nice. And then it's the only thing that they care about at the moment is how can we make Trump look bad? Ooh, the reflecting pool. Ooh, yeah, let's hop on that. Let's jump on that one. Let's do that. There are millions and millions of people in this country. There are tens of millions of people who came across this border illegally. And the ICE agents are doing a wonderful job trying to get people off of the out of the country that shouldn't be in the country. But they're not even doing just the legals. They're doing actual criminals, child molesters, sex traffickers, drug traffickers. The left hates that too. They want to take their cars and block them from deporting these people. What about if they're deporting Islamic fundamentalists? The left would try to stop that. They had a cargo van full of Al-Qaeda's that they just pulled out of Dearborn, Michigan, or anywhere else in the country. The left would block them from trying to deport them. They would drive their fan in front of them, pretend that they're pretend that their car broke down, and they would try to delay and stop and keep these radicals here because the left does not care about you. They do not care about America succeeding. They don't care about America being safe. All they care about is their delusion to become reality. Whatever their delusion is, they want their thought process to be the reality. Whatever it is. I identify as a photo printer. You can't talk to me. I'm not a human. I'm actually a robot. I'm a kitty with ears. And then they want us to all chime in on this delusion. You have to use this pronoun or that, or you can't say this, or you can't say that. We think ice agents are throwing out innocent babies, and you're not going to tell us otherwise. Even if there are radical Islamists in that van, we're going to stop it and block it and ram into you.

SPEAKER_16 1:05:15

Or shoot you for that matter.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:24

I think that the United States is finally waking up to just how radical and insane the left is. And the disastrous policies that have led to just horrible cities: Chicago, New York, Detroit, Atlanta. They've all gone to crap. I was born and raised in New York, right outside of New York City. Used to go to Manhattan all the time when Rudy Giuliani finally cleaned it up. Remember when I was a kid, we'd go down to Times Square and it was just cardboard boxes lining them filled with homeless people. It was a homeless camp in Times Square. Rudy Giuliani cleaned the whole thing up. Was great, was wonderful. Now you got mom Donnie in there who also supports, frankly, terrorists, Hamas, or the Palestinian resistance, and has brought in all these socialist, communist dictator people into his cabinet, the Marxist socialists. Matt Speer talked about this on his show the other day, and he hit the nail right on the head. That what the communists and the Marxists do is they infiltrate the Democratic Party, they eat out the rational people, and only the extreme people push through. That's what you see. You see the Bernie Sanders, you see the Mom Donnie's, you see the AOCs, you see the Rashida Talibs, you see the Elon Omar's. These are the extreme radical leftists who are Marxists, socialists, national socialists, whatever you want to call them. So that's step one. You gotta eat out the good people and get them out because they're only holding us back. We want extreme revolution. I mean, Glenn Beck was talking about this back in 2004, five, six, 2010. It was all true. And Barack Obama was a rado, he was a radical leftist. But not compared to what we have. He looks like John F. Kennedy compared to Mom Donnie. And you know, it's like what do you do as a citizen? What can you do to stop? It. You need to be involved in politics. And you need to protect yourself. You need to be involved in your local politics. Your local politics are way more important to you and how you live your life, to what your children learn in school than the national politics ever will be. Who's the director of your school board? Do you know? Who are the members of your school board? Who's your mayor? Who's your city council? What do they believe? Do they believe that the government should just come in and seize your property and give you fair market value for it because they want to put a basketball court there? Do they believe that? Because they can do that at any time in any city in the United States of America. It's one of the many flaws of our founding fathers. It's eminent domain, the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. Who's your local police chief? Is it the Muslim guy celebrating that he has got a Palestinian wife and sympathetic to the Palestinian cause with a Lebanese flag behind him? Did you vote in that election? Did you watch the debates? Who's your fire chief? What's he believe? Or she believe. You got to be involved. You got to know what's going on. You got to get out there. You got to talk. You got to put pressure on them. What do you want in Congress? You know what I want? I want FISA 702 gone. You know what I did? I called my congresswoman. I said, this is what I want. I'm one of your citizens. I'm one of your voters. And this affects me directly. This should be a pillar of your platform. They listen to you. They listen to you. I'll never forget a college professor who is a freaking radical leftist told me this one time. Because before I joined the Marine Corps, I went to college. I did not do well. Right? I joined the Marine Corps. Then I went back to college and I did amazing. But what happened while I was in the Marine Corps is they never diverted my student loans. They kept charging me. And when you're on active duty, you get a deferment. So I fought them, sent them the paperwork. They never deferred, never deferred, defaulted on these student loans. I'm in a political science class. And my teacher says, he asked me, we were talking about it. He says, just call your congressperson. So I call my congressperson and I say, this is it. And they're like, send me the paperwork. Student loan, forgiven, gone. Removed from my credit, deferred. Deferred. Fixed. Like that. That's why they're there. Do you want national concealing carry in your state? Call your congressperson. Call your senator. Call your state representatives. You have to be involved. That's how you lose a country by not being involved, by being asleep at the wheel. That's how you lose all of the blood and all of the treasure that was sacrificed by the people that came before us. To preserve that for you. You know, Ronald Reagan said that freedom isn't just gifted from generation to generation. It's not. I mean, part of it is, but it needs to be continuously fought for and protected. If you don't fight for it, they're always trying to take it away. Somebody is always trying to take your freedom away. Always. And you need to be aware of what's going on. You need to fight it. And you need to preserve it for your children and your children's children, or we're not going to have a country left. That's not hyperbole, by the way. There have been significant and severe, slow and gradual encroachments since the founding of this country that has restricted our liberty almost to zero. And you just don't realize it. Because they keep you fed and they keep you comfortable. Thank you for tuning in. This is Ryan Samuels. Don't forget to hit that like, share, and subscribe button.
