Jay Weber Show transcript 6-5-25
I opened the show yesterday by saying: i already don’t care about the family of that Colorado terrorist who tried to burn people alive at a pro-Israel march on Sunday-
Trump’s dept of homeland security had immediately grabbed up the man’s wife and five children...and were moving to deport them within 24 hours.
Great.
Among the things I said were:
This is a family who overstayed visitors visas several years ago and never left. They have been here illegally. And yet, daddy decided that he was going to allow his hatred for the Jews-and for America- overwhelm him- and he was going to lash out.
Well then, so, ‘too bad, so sad’...that daddy’s a terrorist who’s going to prison for the rest of his life...and his wife and kids are being deported.
Americans should have zero sympathy for them.
Genuinely. Because daddy made the choice for you.
So, imagine my joy when I ran across a USA column today later in the day that had an infuriating and outrageous take on all of this.
The USA today- rushed to run a column about one of Solomon’s daughters who just graduated high school...and UNG. Really wanted to be a doctor.
Well-she can be one. In Cairo...or wherever she’s being shipped off to. And if it’s back to Kuwait, where the government probably doesn’t let women study medicine?
Too bad, so sad. Blame your daddy.
Really. This relentless attempt by the left-wing media to redirect our sympathies onto the terrorists or their families- as the victims-instead of the actual victims of the terror attack-is disgusting.
And that’s what the USA Today did-yesterday.
Notably-this columnist and this paper-did not-feel the need to do any profiles on the actual victims of the attack.
There were twelve people who were injured here- several of them burned badly. Have you heard or read even one of their names?
I know I haven’t.
And it says ‘everything’ about the rancid state of the left-wing media today-that the USA Today’s editors and reporters immediately wanted to rush out and portray Solomon’s children as ‘the victims’ here...and didn’t even give a thought to reporting on the-actual-victims.
It’s a trite saying that I used to bristle at-but I don’t anymore: no matter how much you hate the mainstream media-it’s not enough.
It’s not meant to ‘inform’ the readers. It’s meant to manipulate them. The sole intent of a piece like this is -to do what?
To misdirect the sympathy from the -real victims-onto some other fake victim who the leftists have identified as more worthy:
To heck with the elderly Jews who were burned in the attack. Ugh. They’re Jews. What about this bright young Muslim girl?
This? Is the state of the American news media today?
Sadly-it is.
I said yesterday-in passing, I feel no sympathy for the wife of this terrorist- and can only feel a small amount of sympathy for the children- who would have had a better life here-with far more possibilities open to them- if it weren’t for their evil, hateful daddy.
But- don’t blame president trump, or ice, or anyone other than the daddy.
Really.
The intent of this article is to make immigration enforcement into something terrible...or cruel...by overlooking the crimes these illegals have committed and the victims they have left in their wake.
And that’s Bologna.
Don’t fall for it.
I was glad to see Charles Cooke over at national review be another voice of reason. He also caught this shameful USA today column...and reacted similarly.
I know the pro-illegal activists and their democrat accomplices are trying ‘extra hard’ to convince the rest of us that these illegal aliens are just ‘normal Americans without papers’. But they’re not.
Numerous elected dems have engaged in an optics campaign in which they’ve insisted that.... These are our constituents. Our neighbors. Good family men...etc.
Bologna.
As speaker Mike Johnson put it yesterday: this Colorado case is a perfect example for us, here. He says the democrats are engaging in an essential campaign of trying to muddy the moral waters...but.... republicans and the trump team are speaking with moral clarity.
True.
I also said yesterday that i love to see the forceful, quick, and no-nonsense reactions we are getting from the trump administration on all sorts of things.
Trump can’t run for another term-and it might be one reason that he and his team are simply doing what they feel needs to be done- without worrying about the optics or the political fallout: if it looks mean to some people to deport the Soliman family-tough. Do it. Have them out of the country by dawn.
Fantastic.
I loved to see Kristi Noem say yesterday: this terror attack has us putting a new emphasis on visa overstays-
Which is great- because this is a huge area in which we have been ignoring lawbreakers and immigration laws: people who simply overstay their visas represent how nearly half of the illegals in this country got in-
At least before Biden’s flood of illegals tilted the numbers toward ‘border crossings.
Visa overstays are the easiest way to cheat the system and get in. Some of us have been calling for visa reform for two decades, now.
Or at least- enforcing the law. We largely haven’t been.
So- huzzah, huzzah- if this terror attack leads to tougher enforcement of visa violations.
Tom Homan was on Ingraham’s show ...suggesting that this terror attack basically proves that their overall approach on enforcement is correct: they are prioritizing the illegals who have criminal records and are associated with dangerous gangs. But any illegal whom they come across is fair game.
I love it.
Homan alludes to the doxing and intimidation of some of the ice agents as they are going about their jobs-
We’ll talk about that later...but it’s increasing in these so-called ‘sanctuary cities...and it’s increasing the odds that we are going to see either agents harmed- or agents-having to harm others- to defend themselves against attack.
We’ve got an increasing number of shameful democrats-including Hakeem Jefferies-the dem leader in the house- encouraging this sort of lawlessness.
And it should be alarming to every American and denounced by every decent democrat. If any of them exist, anymore.
I’ll say this again, too: larger picture-
Every American needs to see this clearly: President Trump’s border and deportation efforts- really are- about protecting the people of this country from terrorists and predators.
Biden’s overwhelmed borders allowed in-at least. At least. Two million illegals who crossed the border were undetected. They could have come in an easier way-and chose not to.
Why?
What were those two million illegals intending to do in America? That didn’t they want the u-s government to know they were here?
It’s what’s keeping our ICE agents and our NAS agents up at night. They worry a larger, more organized terror attack is coming -thanks to Biden and the democrat’s open border recklessness.
