Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of the Straight Talk Podcast with your host, former Milwaukee County Sheriff, David Clark. Where do I want to start here? Let's, let's, let's do Donald Trump's appearance at the National Association of Black Journalists Conference, annual conference held in Chicago, Illinois last week, how many of you may have heard about it or read about it? And there's a lot of differing views. That's okay. I think that's healthy in a discussion. But you're going to hear my take on it. First of all, I want you to listen to how Donald Trump was welcomed to this conference. We'll play about three minutes of this. Go ahead and play it. Okay. So that's how Donald Trump was welcomed to the National Association of Black Journalists Conference. Rude, hostile, attack mode. Loaded for bear, this woman from ABC, trying to make her name for herself, I'm gonna show him. And you have to watch, if you can see the YouTube, the video of it, it adds to it. You should have seen the expression on Donald Trump's face as she's reading that diatribe, that smear, that attack. He's got that infamous Donald Trump smirk where he turns his head and kind of smirks, like, you know, are you serious? He's As he's listening to this and then he goes on to answer it and he smacked her right back as well He should now there are a lot of prominent conservatives and so called Republican talking heads on radio and TV who don't think Donald Trump should have gone there that he was walking into an ambush folks Donald Trump knows exactly what he is doing. Donald Trump is afraid of no one Donald Trump is It's not afraid to walk into hostile territory and have a bath back and forth exchange. With whoever wants to interview him. Now, they invited him, and he accepted the invitation. Why shouldn't he have gone, well, he was gonna get ambushed, he was, what? So what? Go in there and smack him right back. This is one of the complaints I have with too many people on our side. And I'm mainly talking about establishment Republicans and prominent talking heads. Who, at every turn, think we need to find common ground, reach across the aisle. Instead of smacking him right back in the face, metaphorically. Now, many of you may have heard of the Clay and Buck thing. Show that is aired Monday through Friday, national show. Then the guys that took over for Rush Limbaugh, few comments on them. First of all, and I don't know which one is which. I listen to them every day, don't get me wrong, there's not much else to listen to. So I don't know which one, you know when you're airing voices, you just, I don't know which one is which. But one of them said about Donald Trump's appearance, here's, here's what one of them said, here's how I would have answered this, not me, but this is how the guy on Clay and Buck said. He would have gone in there and said, You know, uh, I can be an ass at times and I can be a jerk, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I thought, are you kidding me? That's groveling. That's pandering, for heaven's sakes. To go and appear before this This conference and and prostrate yourself for what you know Donald Trump is looking to increase his share of the black vote and he's doing a good job of it I don't know what it's going to turn out to be but we aren't going to win elections Walking around on eggshells afraid of of ticking off some certain demographic that won't work for our side The conservative side, you know, also Republicans, that won't work for us. Those people are never going to like us. Never, ever, ever stop trying to get them to. Donald Trump's honest with people. He tells it like it is. And he went on to talk about his record as President of the United States and its impact on the black community. Some of the things that he did, like was better for black families, like was better for black people. Home ownership was up. Employment was up. Earning potential was up. You heard him. You know, that's his record of accomplishment. And so the, the, the, these, these liberal reporters, but I'm, first of all, let me say this. I'm glad he went. I support that he went. Unlike the, the, the Clay and Buck. And you know, like I said, those guys are soft. They, they, they are a cheap fake of Russ Limbaugh. And they're not trying to be Russ Limbaugh. There's only one Russ Limbaugh. God rest his soul. They're not trying to But man, do we miss his voice. Man, do we miss his leadership. His ability to articulate. He's a smash mouth guy. Rush Limbaugh was a smash mouth guy. In your face, like Donald Trump. And he didn't walk around on eggshells trying to get the left to like him. And there are other prominent Republicans wondering why, well, you know, why is Donald Trump bringing up, uh, Harris race and, you know, this, that, and the other. Why, why does he, because she needs to be identified and identified. For what she is, and who she is. She's a fraud! And what, talking nice about her? Or not talking about her at all? As the left goes about trying to artificially make this woman into something that she's not? And it's supposed to go uncontested? Do you know what they've done to Donald Trump for the last 8 years? Do you know what they've done to his supporters? Now we're weird. We were deplorables. And we're supposed to just take it. In this linear fashion of, you know, just, uh, you know, stick to the, the issues. This is a dog fight, ladies and gentlemen. The heck with issues. You gotta get in there and be a dog. And you gotta be willing to fight. And use every method available. The same way the left does. We need to do unto them as they do unto us. And this taking the high road and turning the other cheek doesn't work in political warfare. It just doesn't. The other side just smears us. They attack us, they vilify us, and we're just supposed to take it. I'm done with that crap. You've heard me talk about that on this podcast before. I'm done with that. It's time to use the same tactics against the left. Smear their candidates. Dirty them up. Soften them up. Body blows. All that stuff helps. But we get all these, these prominent Republicans thinking that this is a linear process. Politics is not linear, ladies and gentlemen. It's asymmetrical. All these know it alls just think, Well, if you just do this, this, and stick to the issues, then, you know, No, it just doesn't work. Not in politics. You have to use guerrilla type warfare tactics. You need to make this messy, and you can't afford Or you can't be afraid, I should say, of getting battered and bruised. Give it right back. Smack him back. And all this stuff about Harris and, you know, well, uh, you know, you gotta be careful because you don't want to be seen as beating up on a woman. Smack her in the face, metaphorically. She's in the middle of the ring in politics. She can't have this expectation, or the left, the Democrats, well, you know, you gotta treat them differently. No, you don't. I'll start treating her differently when they start treating us differently. Time for her to put on her big girl pants and take it like a man. This is politics. I never told Donald Trump what to do. I've known Donald Trump for, I don't know, eight, nine years, personally. I just answer his questions. If he has questions, I will give him an answer, an honest answer. But all these people walking around talking about what Donald Trump should do. Donald Trump knows exactly what he's doing. How many times, heaven, we seen or heard Donald Trump say something or do something and we go, oh my god, he's in trouble now. Oh, he just sunk his campaign. Oh, he's, he's finished. He knows exactly what he's doing. And in the end, you know what? If he doesn't win, he's done. And all these critics will say, well, he didn't win because he didn't stick to the issues and he, no. First of all, it's his campaign. He's got the most at stake here. Let him do it his way. This is not his first rodeo now. He's an unconventional politician. People like that. He's not your typical Republican. Not your typical politician. He knows exactly what he's doing. He has no fear. I mean, my gosh, the guy just got shot. And after getting shot, had the wherewithal to get up, throw his fist in the air three times, and say fight, fight, fight. After he'd been shot, ladies and gentlemen. That's unconventional. We've never seen that before. And now you're going to, and I don't mean you, but all these prominent Republican talking heads, and politicians, and experts, and consultants, and analysts, are going to question his approach? You gotta be kidding me. You have got to be kidding me. Donald Trump will be fine. He knows exactly what he's doing. And as for the race right now, I don't know who's gonna win. I think Donald Trump's gonna win, but you know the key word is I think, I didn't say I know he's going to win. And for the Democrats to think that they can pull this off again, like they did with Biden, although it's a little different, there's some different shades to it, you know, they just kicked him overboard after he won the damn nomination. 14 million people in a Democrat primary voted for him. She didn't get one vote. She didn't get one vote when she ran in 2020. She dropped out before the Iowa caucuses for heaven's sakes. Before the first. The caucus, but primary because her party didn't want her they still don't but they're gonna now take this Sal's ear and try to turn it into silk her approval ratings Before this as vice president were lower than Joe Biden's as president lower the Democrats Did not like her, and all of a sudden they're in love with her? And all of a sudden the, the, the polls are saying she's neck and neck, and in some polls she's, she's leading? Folks, don't buy any of that crap. None of it. Those are push polls. They are manufacturing this. To dispirit us, and also to try to energize their base, that she might have a chance. She's got a 50 50 chance, but so does Donald Trump. It's gonna be close. Her leading in the polls after like one week on the stage? You gotta be kidding me. Let me tell you, push polls. I know a little bit about polling, only because I've had polls conducted on my behalf as an elected official and paid for polls and paid for focus groups, so I kind of know how they work. A push poll, you push poll is? A push poll is, they go into this thing wanting a particular finding. In other words, we want to show that she's competing and that she's ahead. So what they do is they'll go and they'll find. In deep blue areas. And they'll poll those people. What do you think of, you know, Trump or Harris? Well, of course they're going to say Harris. In one poll, I think it was conducted by the AP, shortly after she, they kicked Joe Biden to the side. They polled 400 people. Folks, that's not enough. That's not a valid poll. You have to poll between 1, 100 and 1, 200 people to be within a margin of error. Not 400. They went out and found 400 Democrats. And ask them, uh, who they're gonna vote for. And then maybe ask, you know, 25 Republicans. That's what a push poll is. They're looking for a specific finding. It's not a valid poll. There's no way this woman walks onto the stage and all of a sudden she's gonna win the presidency? She's not liked. There are a lot of people within her base who find the way this happened distasteful. But they're afraid to speak out. And even if they did speak out The liberal media would squash them, would squelch them. Their voices will never come through, but they're gonna come through on November 5th. Oh yeah? So anyway, let's turn the page. Saw this article, and I wasn't shocked at all. But it's so typical of what, you know, how a Washington bureaucracy works, or doesn't work. And it tells you all you need to know about Washington, D. C. And in this article here, see if I can pull it up here. In this article, it talks about how the IRS Isn't working, which should be no surprise to anybody. Here's the title of it. This mailbox is full. Audit finds most IRS assistant hotlines leave taxpayers on hold. The hotlines for taxpayers to get assistance from the IRS Independent Advocate Service are a mess, according to the Inspector General's Audit Friday, that found that fewer than 3 percent of the 76 hotlines were even answered by a person. So. The Inspector General finds this. So it goes on to say a couple were disconnect disconnected while most of the hotlines went straight to voicemail where many of them said their mailboxes were full and refused to let taxpayers leave a message for a callback. How typical is this of government? Unresponsive, indifferent toward the needs of people. So you call the IRS, who can make your life miserable if they want to, and you're looking for help, you call the help hotline and you can't get anybody to answer the phone? And it switches over to mailboxes full? Who's in charge of the IRS? Why hasn't that person been called to Congress? We have all these other hearings going, useless hearings going on in Congress. Why isn't the head of the IRS called to answer, to, to be asked What's up with this crap? You just got, guys, just got approval for 80, 000 new agents, and you can't get anybody to answer the phone when a taxpayer, a citizen, a taxpayer calls with questions? So it says here, the hotlines belong to the Taxpayer Advocate Service, whose job is to act as an intermediary for taxpayers struggling to weave IRS bureaucracy. Do you know how difficult this is to weave your way through any type of DC bureaucracy, federal bureaucracy? To get anybody to talk to a human being, and even if you do, to get them to understand and you get them to care and to get them to do something for you. It says here it operates 76 offices around the country and every state has at least one. Those seeking assistance from the hotlines were sorely disappointed. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration sent a new report. How come this kind of report doesn't make national news? Where's our news industry? The IRS. One of the most hated bureaucracies in Washington, D. C. Because of the way they run over people. So it says, investigators called all 76 hotline numbers and got through to a person only twice. Like I said, where are the IRS supervisors? Where's the head of the IRS? And how come he or she doesn't know this? How come they didn't find this instead of the Inspector General? What are they doing? So it says two of the numbers were disconnected. 56 went to a voicemail where investigators could leave a message, and 16 of the hotlines rejected messages outright because the office hadn't emptied prior messages. This mailbox is full. Quote, this is the message you got. This mailbox is full. Please delete some messages. Goodbye, one caller heard. Inspector General said the full mail mail boxes Can frustrate taxpayers who need help and said it was part of a broader Issue of poor customer service from the IRS. It says their investigators made their calls earlier this year at some time. Some of the voicemail messages they got still had a coronavirus pandemic message. That was from two years ago. These people don't care. They just want their money at tax time, filing time. What is it, April 15th? That's all they're interested in. And if you don't file on time, they're coming after you. There's fines, there's, there's penalties. But then this is the way they treat taxpayers? And so we put up with this crap. So the Inspector General, it says here, issued an alert to the IRS during the audit, the audit, and said some things have improved. Oh yeah, always, some things have improved. So they finally cleared all full Voicemail boxes so taxpayers can leave a message, but that doesn't mean they're going to call you back. Senator Joni Ernst, I, a Republican said the report was a dismal evaluation for an agency. They got tens of billions of dollars in new taxpayer money from Democrats. 2022 budget climate law, tens of billions. See when they want their money, they don't want to hear the excuses. April 15th comes. You either file or you're late. If you, if, if you, if you put your filing in at 12. 01 a. m. on April 16th, you're late. So it says here, it says a lot about the administration's priorities, when there is just a 3 percent chance someone might actually answer your call, Ms. Ernst said. Bureaucrats are phoning it in while taxpayers are being put on hold and even being hung up on. Ladies and gentlemen, this is typical. This is not a like a, a, a, a surprise, a shocking surprise. This is typical government bureaucracy. They do not care. I have a fix for this. It starts with a The repeal of the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution. Remember what that is? Let me get my pocket constitution out here. This handy little thing that I carry with me everywhere I go. So I can look stuff up. Like I said, I'm not a constitutional expert, but I know how to read. Amendment 16. The Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes on incomes from whatever source derived. Without apportionment among the several states and without regard to any census or enumeration ratified in 1913. That amendment forever changed the relationship between the citizens of the United States and their government. The ability, the authorization to steal, Money that we made, that we earned, just take it off the top. Skimming is what it's called in, in, in the underworld. Skimming off of our wages, and then using it however they see fit. So it starts with repeal of the 16th amendment. No more, no, no more shall the government, federal government, Be able to just skim money off the top of money that we earn, we the people. So it starts with repeal of the 16th amendment and you know what, ladies and gentlemen, we don't need the IRS. You'll need some smaller agency to beg for money. Make the federal government beg for our money. No more income tax. Some states don't have a state income tax. Why can't the federal government Not have an income tax. They did up, they didn't up until 1913. So for all that time from 1776 to 1913, the federal government did not have. The authority to impose federal income tax. We should go back to that. Make them beg the states, Hey, could you collect some money for us too while you're at it? With your state income tax. Make the IRS send every person on file every year a card, you know, asking, Could we have some of your money please? Send whatever you can. I'm not being facetious. Just get rid of the IRS. Yeah, abolish it. Some people might think that, well, you know, you gotta have some money for something. Well, they should have to go to the individual and ask, Can we have some money? Not just give it off the top of our taxes. Send us a thing at the end of the year. None of this weekly or bi weekly. Every time you get a paycheck, look at it. Federal taxes. You don't notice it much. All people do, it's human nature, they just look at the net of the paycheck, not the gross. Just look at the net. Look at the gross. See how much is being taken out by government. And then you call the IRS and you can't get them to answer the phone? You can't get a call back? Like I said, when they want their money on April 15th come hell or high water, you better turn it over. And then this is how you get treated. This is Another one of those instances, ladies and gentlemen. I bet many of you never saw this article. It's in the Washington Times. Good newspaper. You won't read this in the New York Times or the Washington Post or the Atlanta Journal Constitution or the Chicago Tribune. I can go on and on and on, the LA Times, about how we're treated by our federal government. And finally, on the political front. Last week, a story came out that a plea agreement had been reached between the government and the 9 11 hijacker. And that went over like a lead balloon. As soon as the story broke, that they were pleading to a lesser punishment, they took the death penalty off the table. They were going to give them life without possibility of parole, and you know that doesn't work. Because at some point, somebody's going to appeal to some court, and some liberal judge is going to go, Yeah, this, you can't do this. You got attorneys, guy, they've suffered long enough. They're reformed. Happens at the state level all the time. Why I said we need a death, uh, the death penalty, federal law, death penalty for all cop killers. I mean, every once in a while, you hear stories. From somewhere where some cop killer's been released. Yeah, maybe it's 30, 40 years ago, but that life without parole, in name only. So anyway, for some background on this, here's an article here. Defense Secretary abruptly revokes plea deal with alleged, alleged 9 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and co conspirators. Alleged. It says here, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin abruptly revoked a plea deal for the Alleged mastermind of the September 11, 2001 terror attacks and his co conspirators, As he relieved the overseer in charge after years of effort to reach an agreement to bring this case to a close. Does anything strike you in that first paragraph? Anything? I'll give you a hint. September 11th, 2001. Ladies and gentlemen, we're coming up on September of 2024. Was it like, do the math, the 23rd anniversary of the 9 11 attacks? And this case still hasn't been adjudicated? It's in a military court, you know, different rules there. Twenty three years later, this Khalid Sheikh Mohammed hasn't been adjudicated? So it goes on to say, in a surprise memo, quietly released Friday night, Secretary Austin said the responsibility for such a significant decision should rest with me. Only two days early, the Pentagon announced it had reached a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, more commonly known as KSM, and two other defendants. The memo addressed to Susan Escalier, the convening authority for military commissions who runs the military courts in Guantanamo Bay, said the defense secretary would immediately withdraw her authority in the case and reserved such authority to himself. Let me stop right there. These people tried to pull a fast one. There is no way this woman, Susan Escalier, Escalier? There's no way she made this decision by herself. No way. There's no way she didn't inform Secretary Austin of what she was doing all along the way. That's not how this stuff works. There is constant communication. There's too much at stake. There's politics involved, there's political peril involved in handling this stuff. You know darn well she informed Secretary Austin every step of the way of what she was doing and, and didn't put this plea deal forth until she talked to and got cleared by Austin first. Here's another thing, as sure as I'm sitting here, you know, Austin talked to the White House about this. He would not, there's no way the Secretary of Defense would make a decision like this Or allow this decision to go forward of a plea agreement taking death penalty off the table without talking to the White House. He talked to somebody in the White House and informed them of this and you know what, there's no doubt they said go ahead. And that's how, you know, it comes out in a memo, well we reached a plea agreement. And this thing backfired on him. Couple of observations. First of all, how clueless must these people be meaning Lloyd Austin? How clueless! Could he be to think they should do something like this in an election year and like three months before the election? I mean you had Democrats on the Hill that were outraged by this. How clueless could Lloyd Austin be to not wait until after the election? Even on the way out if if they lose and he becomes the former defense secretary. Do it on the way out You know that period between November and January? Try it then. And the White House, how could they be so clueless as to not think they shouldn't do this, this close to an election? This could have impact on Harris, because she, then, you know, she's gonna be asked about it. You think this is a good plea agreement? Put her on the spot. So then when this thing blew up in their faces, you know the White House got back to Austin, and said, you gotta pull this thing back. You gotta fall on the sword. So, Austin pulls it back, on behalf of the White House. You know, Austin is showing himself to be ill equipped to handle the politics of things. You have to get the politics, you have to understand the politics. Whenever you make a big decision like this, and you're an underling, you gotta protect the people above you, like, you know, the White House, the President. And give the president plausible deniability of knowing that, you know, when you're going to do something stupid. So him pulling this back will make this story go away. That's how this, this, this works. Just, you know, pull it back and, and ask for a do over and it just goes away. So, but the fact that 23 years later they haven't adjudicated and put this guy to death. So what's this going to go on another 23 years now that they've pulled back the plea agreement? So what's this here? And then too, why didn't, uh, Austin, he shouldn't have just taken over. He should have fired this woman, this Susan Escalier, for such a boneheaded move. But first of all, she, the reason he can't dismiss her, and fire military people, dismiss her, is because she probably let him know before this thing was released. She's not gonna do this by herself. These, some of these people are dumb, but they're not stupid. She would know darn well, I gotta let the defense secretary know what I'm doing, what I'm accepting, uh, accepting and entering in here to, is his political implications. This is Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, for heaven's sakes. Mastermind. Of 9 11, nearly 3 million, uh, 3, 000 Americans killed. Brought down the World Trade Center towers. Brought New York City to its knees. Rocked the foundation of this country. She's not gonna do this on her own. And Austin's not gonna, going to okay it on his own without first letting the White House know. But what he shoulda had the wherewithal to do is say, We're not making this decision until after the election. There's too much political peril here for the White House. But I also think it speaks to the fact that Joe Biden's not running things, because there's no way that his aides in the White House would have heard this and said, 90 days from an election? You gotta be kidding me. You can't do this. You know they signed off on it, and they tried to slip it through. They probably thought after 23 years, nobody really cares about this anymore. That's cluelessness. So it says here, But the military trial against Mohammed and his alleged co conspirators was delayed for years as the U. S. tried to determine how to handle the issue of torture used against Mohammed and others at secret CIA prisons in the 2000s. What are you talking about? Torture against Mohammed? How about torture against America? How about torture against the 3, 000 dead plus the millions more psychologically damaged by this? Like I said, rock the United States to its core, and we're gonna, we're gonna be like sensitive to the, you know, the, the, the torture. It's probably waterboarding. Waterboarding, by the way, is, is, uh, okay by the Geneva Convention. It's an acceptable form of torture. I'm not gonna get down into the weeds of what's torture and what's not, what they, no. So it says, the plea deal announcement prompted a Fierce backlash, including from both sides of the political aisle and some groups representing 9 11 victims. Who have pushed for the government to pursue the death penalty for the worst attacks on U. S. soil since Pearl Harbor. And they want to let this guy live? You know what Japan, the price Japan paid for this type of attack on Pearl Harbor? The nuclear bomb! Matter of fact, the only time in U. S., in, in, in world history that a nuclear weapon was used on a country of that magnitude. Those two cities, Nagasaki and I don't know, Osaka? I can't remember the other city. A nuclear bomb was detonated for that attack. And so this is the largest since then, and we're gonna talk about, well, you know, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, well, the torture used by the CIA. Aw, hell with that. They need to move forward on this trial as soon as possible, convict this guy, and put him to death. Like, immediately. None of this. This guy could live another 20 years on death row. We'd be almost coming up on the 50th anniversary of 9 11 before this guy's put to death. Or before he dies in prison. And the smartest thing that George W. Bush did was not let him bring these 9 11 hijackers on U. S. soil and put it in U. S. courts. That almost happened. That would have been a huge mistake. Leave them in a military tribunal. Don't leave them. Off U. S. soil at Guantanamo Bay and handle this through a military court. My hope is Donald Trump is elected 47th president of the United States and appoints a defense secretary, a def sec, who will make this a top priority, move this thing along, tell him I want this guy tried and convicted and put to death in the four years that we have. Within the four years, because that's all Donald Trump gets is four years. And then, you know, let's get it done. Thanks for joining me.
