Why did the host say Los Angeles protests are being met with a National Guard deployment?
Good morning, everybody. Good morning, everybody. Good morning. Let me just apologize right off the top because we were ready early, but then we realized we had so much information, so much material to gather for you that it took us a little longer. I wanted to make sure that we had everything. because good morning. I hope that you had a great weekend. I'm so glad that you're here. You know that, right? And you know the thing we're talking to say, hit the thumbs up for the algorithm, all of that, okay? Thank you for joining us this morning for our live. And again, I apologize because... Sometimes there are just no words for what's going on. Like all weekend when this started happening, I kept saying, I think the thing that comes to mind is outrage when people say, is this really America?
This isn't America. Yeah, this is America. This is America. What you witnessed and are witnessing now. Okay? I'm just going to put up the video because I was so outraged. I was so outraged. And you people should be outraged. And I'm not outraged by the protests. And look, let me just start with a caveat and say, no one, I am not, I don't believe anyone is condoning any type of violence. Do not get me wrong. Okay? But protests are American. In some ways, you could say they're American as apple pie because that's how you get things done. That's how the country was started. This country was started because, and huge protests. Riots. I don't agree with riots. But I'm saying, let's just have some sense of history here and some sense of proportionality.
And this did not start until Donald Trump exacerbated the situation and threw gas on a smoldering fire. Until Donald Trump and the MAGA Trump administration ratcheted this up to an unacceptable level. Americans can protest. People can protest. Even people who are undocumented immigrants can protest. Now, they have to face consequences, of course. If you're here and you're undocumented, you should go through the thing. But this is America. America does not turn the military around. onto its own citizens, because many of these people who are out there protesting are American citizens. Are American citizens. And should we be surprised that this happened? I don't think we should be surprised that this happened.
Because we saw let me just give you a couple of examples of what we have seen in the past and what has been warned about. But I want to get this one piece of video up that I sent that I think really, really sort of encapsulates what I mean by these are American citizens. Many of them are American citizens. It's the one I sent guys when I said, do we have this this guy? And it's a guy saying, you are turning on your own country. You should be on this side. I want you to gather that video up for me.
I have it ready. It's good.
Okay. So I say, everyone thinks like, oh my gosh, these are just undocumented immigrants. These are like brown people. These are Mexican people. These are the folks who are out there. I'm going to show it to you in a second. Let me just start you off and give you a proper synopsis of what's going on. So good morning. I'm going to try to hold it down, hold the temperature down, hold my temper down. because these are the things that we should be fighting for in this country. When in the back, if you are sitting here going, oh, but they are not American citizens. They don't have flags or all of this stuff. Okay. Okay. They have Mexican flags. Okay. We're going to talk about that. Now, do you have, and did you have that same energy when people were putting a smearing feces on
Inside of the U.S. Capitol and carrying Confederate flags, which is not the official flag of the United States. And whatever it is that you had, I don't know, don't tread on me or whatever flags that people had. That were not American flags and beating up police officers with American flag poles. Did you have that same energy? Because then if you did, then OK, all right, then we can talk. But if you didn't shut the fuck up. Don't give me that stupid logic that you think is logic.
