seat . i hope you have a chance to check out my website. it's jason and jason . the .com or my twitter handle, which is jason. and that's all my podcast, which is jason in the house. we're time to turn it over to the ingraham angle and tonight, we've got raymond arroyos filling in. raymond, the show is all yours, my friend. >> happy holidays. merry merry christmas. you said we'll talk soon. great to see you. i'm raymond arroyo. in for laura ingraham. this is a special edition of the "ingraham angle" from new york city. >> but first we have a fox news alert. we're learning tonight that the health of pope emeritus benedict has taken a drastic turn. pope francis is asking the public to pray for the former pontiff, who he said is very sick. the national catholic register is reporting that benedict is experiencing kidney failure. we will monitor any breaking news on this situation and bring it to you as it comes. >> but first, our major cities

did not get the merry christmas citizens wanted this year. for some , it was a downright scary christmas. there were many cities where santa stayed in the air. he was afraid of getting sleigh jacked. i think we report isolated crime events throughout the year, particularly in l.a. and new york. but the national crime picture often gets ignored. >> and when you look at the year it was, it takes your breath away, or at least it should. this is video of linda frickey, a seventy three year old grandmother from new orleans. who was in her car when four teens rushed it, pushing her out. frickey got caught in a safety belt and they dragged her for about a block, severing her arm from her body. >> she bled to death in the street. at least they captured her for tackers. >> but so many times these cases go unsolved. this is just one of the more than two hundred and sixty homicide in new orleans since the start of the year. my hometown of new orleans is set to become the murder capital of the country this

week with a 50% increase in homicides since 2019. today, another man was shot in the french quarter and just two days before christmas, comedian brandon boogy be montreal was visiting his family for the holidays. >> he went to the grocery and shot to death, possibly by a stray bullet involving a shoot out between others. his mother, sherilyn price, explain her son's death this way. >> is the erosion of the community and the care for the community and in the neglect not of the city and not the tourists. >> the city has neglected its children. >> boy, miss price is so right. the community and those vowed to protect it have little regard for human life. even young ones. >> what is driving this pattern of criminality among our young people? and it's not just new orleans. nationally, homicides and theft have skyrocketed across

the country. shooting deaths in chicago have become so routine they barely get mentioned nationally. little children shot pedestrians and innocent citizens are caught up in this maelstrom of lawless violence. chicago will likely end 2020 two with 700 murders. just imagine the families missing relatives this christmas. neighborhoods without children. yet mayor lori lightfoot says things are going just look at the improvements. >> and the murder spree extends to places like milwaukee, which will end the year by breaking its homicide record . for the third year in a row, or kansas city, which will have its second bloodiest year on record. and over at the mall america in minneapolis, inside the nordstrom's the day before christmas eve. >> this happened on .

oh, my god. oh, my god. this just fell. >> yesterday was the first firearms related homicide in the history of the mall of america. five people were arrested, three juvenile males who are 17 years old and two adult males who are 18 years old. >> 19 year old john hudson died in the store shot. authorities got a second charging extension for the five suspects today. if they don't charge them by noon tomorrow, they'll be released. i this is just outrageous. we're neglecting our children by not enforcing the law and by not making them subject to hard consequences for deadly actions. it's not justice to allow kids to kill or steal without consequences. it's gotten to the point where i know people who actually hire security to accompany them to the gas station for

a refill. if you live in a place like philadelphia, you can't blame them. the city of brotherly love just broke an all time record for carjackings this year. they had over a thousand criminals just pull up to a gas station with guns and take whatever vehicle they like. it's sort of a car dealership . this is now a full scale epidemic. across the country. and in chicago, there were nineteen thousand seven hundred and eighty four car thefts in the city. so far this year. a ninety nine percent increase . >> haven't they heard of uber? you can rent a ride, guys. you don't have to boost it. >> this dizzying cycle of criminality all across america, it should startle and enrage us to action. too often we dismiss the local headlines and we forget the lives altered. meanwhile, our public safety and our children continue to suffer. let's have a true new year. twenty , twenty three and not one that continues the bloody track record of the year.

dying this week for answers about what we should be doing next. are some true professionals joining me now is captain mike glazer of the new orleans police department and brandon tatum. >> he's a former tucson officer and host the officer tatum show and podcast. gentlemen, thank you both for being captain glasser. i want to start with you. your department in new orleans is operating with 40 percent less cops than they need. i know they're promising bonuses, but what's the answer here? and i know there are other extenuating circumstances suppressing and not allowing the police to do their job. >> well, suffering from the same national trends that most departments and most progressive cities are the country. however, new orleans has additional problems. we have a very restrictive, very constructive federal consent decree, which has a stranglehold on the police department in allowing us to effectively interdict crime and because we do have

the personnel to manage differently. quite honestly, between january first and now we have one hundred and sixty three officers have left the job or a two hundred and seventy four murders as of this evening. and nothing changes. >> and that's the problem. nothing ever changes. and then you've got the add it all, a d.a. who won't prosecute crime, a mayor who was leaning politically on the police department at times. and you mentioned that consent decree, the federal government still policing our police force, what, since 2013. i mean, this has been going on for too long. branded a california bail reform group backed by multiple celebrities, is shutting down its las vegas operation after being sued for one of its benefactors. now, it posted a three thousand dollar bond for a serial burglary suspect who six days later shot a waiter 11 times. brandon, do you think his bail organizations will learn a lesson from this particular

story? >> and aren't releasing repeat offenders a huge obstacle to public safety? >> learned the lesson because it wasn't simply a even student loan reforms. since gage was supposed to make. it simply won't work. and resulted in another. i mean, the checks actually got hit seven times, but this is the ability to build and withstand. the lawsuits are going to come down the they could change in these things because we know some people need to stay in jail. people need to be incarcerated. many people who are incarcerated sometimes the and while they're separated from the criminal activity that they could involving, they want to see those terms to some extent, say most of the people who are involved as victims. most suspects, the people who are on african african-american individuals, instead.

captain gleiser, want to go back to you, speak to me for a moment. every time i walk through the french quarter or new york city, or l.a., you smell pot everywhere you go . tell me the role of drugs in all of this, the legalization of drugs. we just had colorado, which legalized the use of hallucinogens. i mean, what burden does this place on cops trying to maintain order and enforce the law? >> well, when you're trying to deal with behavior, i think that allowing people or encouraging people to use drugs and to alter their behavior, make it even worse, cannot be a good thing. there's reasons for us having the drug laws that we've they're not good things for us . and i think encouraging it is causing more problems than the freedoms that people think they want to have. with that, there are penalties and consequences for we see it all the time with alcohol. we have to have a lot of problems with dwi and other issues with alcohol.

now we're going to add to it, make it worse. now, so it's genuinely a problem and it's fueling most of our current. it's amazing to me the public pays the consequences, not the perpetrator. a final quick question to both of you. brandon, i'll start with you. i see a lot of people around the country, in new orleans, in l.a., new york , hiring personal security squads. >> is this the answer? to public safety in america today? >> brandon is going to end up being that way because if you continue to be more deboning police and not giving them the tools and better necessary to support business, the job you've got to commit, i mean, police departments are decimated. people are leaving the force. people are signing up anymore. and this is the result of policy. and i'm hoping that one day people keep their act together and allow police officers in america to be police officers. and we wouldn't have to have people on security force. is this a waste of money? people are already paying taxes

to be supported by taxpayer dollars, and it should be done efficiently and effectively. >> mm-hmm. i'll give you the last word, captain. leiser. well, you know, we're the murder capital of the country, and that's a sad fact. but there is a little hope on the horizon. we just wanted a new superintendent six days ago. we're hopeful that she will bring some changes in strategy changes and upper level management and hopefully she'll have the autonomy to run the department without the political interference, without the federal judge, without the federal monitors. and we just have the autonomy to do the right thing and let us become police officers again. >> both of you seem to be saying it is policy driving this in addition to extenuate circumstances. but the policy we can control the rest of it, hopefully in time will be able to . gentlemen, thank you both for being here. more than half a million illegals have been arrested at the border since october 1st and nearly two hundred and thirty four thousand just in the month of november alone. a new record , but some partisan insist it's all

a mirage. >> look away. the developing situation at the border is being described by some as a crisis. people are overstating what's happening at the border. if you close the border for so long, of course, there's going to be a temporary influx of people. but ultimately, it'll even out. >> part of this story is the failure of republicans of the past 10 years to actually cooperate with democrats in finally reforming our immigration system. >> joining me now, mollie hemingway, fox news contributor, editor in chief at the federalist, as well as stephen moore, the former trump senior economic adviser and freedom works senior economic contributor. thank you both. molly, so it's not the border crisis at all. and if it was the republicans are at fault. >> right? it's really amazing how much work went into tearing down our border. we have no southern border. we have handed over control of the border to murderous and dangerous cartels in mexico who engage in all sorts of

human rights abuses, which we're allowing because of our refusal to just have a functional border where we enforce rule of law, where we force are just following the law about how and when you come to this country, if you want to come. and it's great that we have that we have immigrants in this country. but this is this needs to be done in an orderly way. and the humanitarian crisis, the human trafficking, the drug trafficking, the abuse of women and children, that takes place because cartels are functionally controlling our border is just is not you can wish it away. you can you can pretend that it's not a big issue, but it really is a very important issue. yeah, i love the comment about title 40 , too, that if you if you just get rid of title forty two , we'll go back to how things were seven last i checked, things were pretty good. i mean, under the trump administration, you didn't have this. they were turning people away. you had the stay in mexico policy. seems like the border was, at least at that time, under control. >> now, there's no doubt about it, ramon, we did under trump

have the most secure border we've had in twenty five or thirty years. it was a top priority of donald trump. and , you know, i talked to trump many times about this. we wanted to get the border secure, build the wall, make sure that we have the security forces and the border agents there, and then we would have a policy ramen that we could get the immigrants who want to come into this country and legally and contribute to our society. >> but you can't have one without the other. and trump, i think, realize that the see the difference in just two years, raymond, from where we were when trump was president and we had that border secure. and then, you know, you're seeing on your screen now the travesty of what's going on . and by the way, most of those immigrants are not criminals who are who want to come into this country. but some of them are raiment and some of them are real security threats. but unless you have an orderly process, you can't tell who's who . steve , you hit on it, though.

we need an orderly process. right. and we've not had that in years. and that's that's terrible. i want to talk very quickly about the economy. inflation is still a major problem for americans. grocery prices up an estimated 12% this year. but to put it into dollars, our senior producer was food shopping for her family. >> she found the price of a bag of romaine lettuce was nine ninety nine . ten bucks. she asked if it was a typo. the cashier reported it wasn't. how can americans sustain prices like this, steve , quickly? >> well, it's a tax on the american worker, the average worker this year as we close 2020 two, raymond has lost four thousand five hundred dollars in income in terms of their take home pay. and it's the reason people run up their credit card debt. they can't afford the gas. they can't afford to heat their home. the grocery prices are going up every year and it's been one of the worst years for americans in terms of their incomes and their savings to our being depleted by this high inflation. >> molly, all of this, again, policy, policy, policy, whether

it's criminal justice policy, border policy or economic policy, the effects are ruinous . now, i went to the streets today of new york and i asked people, molly, i'll start with you. the best and worst political stories of the listen to what they had to say. >> and then i want you your take. what's the worst political story of the ukraine? inflation, the border. hmm. crime. there's a lot of them. the border, the economy, these are the winners and the losers in here. the loser. okay, what are the winners? any winner this year politically for you? we live in new york and we got a lot we flipped a lot of seats in new york . so i'm happy about that. i think the border is the worst . obviously, the border, the loss of control at the border. okubo borders best political story was was l'homme by twitter. at best is elon musk. find twitter. everybody say don't be bad. one of is the best that made me

so happy. the party administration, the worst or worst political story. >> i've really anything to do with biden's molly. that mosque story actually surprised me. i mean, my best political story ,i think, is yours as well. what is your best and worst of the year? >> you cover this so closely, far and away the best story of the year was the dobs decision, which overturned roe v. wade. this is a huge success. many human rights activists, christians, conservatives, pro lifers worked for 50 years to overturn roe , which was this decision which invented a constitutional right to abortion. dobs clarifies that this has no business being how we see things, given that it's not in the constitution and returns it to the people to set abortion policy. just a massive victory. and you cannot forget that. i also thought that the twitter file story was very the twitter story was big. elon musk buying twitter was the first time we saw any kind of pushback to this horrible

thing that's been happening in this country. this move against free speech, tolerance, free debate. elon musk purchasing twitter and releasing information about how our own government is conspiring to limit free speech or work against our first amendment rights was very important. and i do also have to say great year for wyoming and the country by ousting liz cheney, who kind of become a rabid hater. and i used to live in wyoming, so i just have to give a shout out. great work by wyoming there, molly. that was a best and the worst in one with liz cheney. it pretty good. steve , your best and worst political stories of the year. >> well, the best story of the year, i think, is the incredible job that the governor of florida, ron desantis has done in terms of really running that state in such a professional. wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if he were president someday? the worst story of the year to me is what has happened to our our schools. and we have the worst scores in 30 or 40 years. this is child abuse. we should never, ever, ever, ever shut down our schools again. i agree with both.

you had such great insight to my other worst story of the year. what's the targeting of supreme court justices and people? you disagree with politically with hatred, violence and doxxing. that should never happen in the new year or beyond. molly, steve , merry christmas. happy new year. thank you both would be coming up, more of your answers from my adventures on the streets of new york . but first, secretary budha . judge love's calling out roads racist, but he's having a hard time getting americans home for the holidays. >> house transportation committee member republican nicole malliotakis says she's ready to hold mayor pete accountable. she's here next. 2020 to a heck of a year. the leak provoked the trial. >> and up until i was hitting the mark. and that's just the beginning. relive the highs and lows here,

there's no letup in the big holiday storm melt down the island of misfit bags behind me has gotten smaller throughout the day in no small part because people are walking through their low tech and just finding their bags. but still, you have a lot of people who are stuck away from home. you've got two flight staff that cannot communicate with their scheduling center to make themselves available for flights. so you have a lot of tired people and all they want to do is get home. our luggage is missing nights maybe ended up just completely canceling southwest entirely. >> and we're hoping we'll get a refund. two thousand eight hundred eighty five domestic flights were canceled today, 86% of them were southwest. the southwest pilots union, as well as the flight attendants union says the meltdown was predictable because southwest executives did not invest they say did not invest in and modernize the logistic and communication technology. the ceo of southwest offered an apology. >> the tools we use to recover

from disruption service, well, 99% of the time. but clearly, we need to double down on our already existing plans to upgrade systems for these extreme circumstances. so that we never again face what's happening right now. >> southwest airlines did receive over seven billion dollars in federal assistance since the pandemic. a spokesman says that money was used for payroll to prevent furloughs. the department of transportation says southwest will be held accountable. >> raymont, back to you. thank you, mike . what this indicates is a system failure earlier this year, especially over the summer, we saw a lot of problems with a lot of airlines. and i pressed them to increase their customer service commitments to put it in writing. and now that they have put it in writing, we can enforce that. so i reminded them of their promises and reminded them that we will be here to hold them accountable to things like taking care of the expenses of those passengers and they are going to hold them accountable.

>> this guy's actually bragging about making southwest put customer service commitments in writing. yes, people want to get refunded for the chaos and have their expenses paid as they should, but that doesn't help them right now. to hold the airlines accountable. you have to understand the problem. and it's not clear this administration does. there was a rash of these cancelations, cancelations last winter and even during the summer. but so far , there have been no concrete solutions offered to remedy this travel gridlock . joining me now, new york congresswoman nicole malliotakis, member of the house transportation and infrastructure committee. congressman, republicans take control next week. you sit on the transportation committee. lucky you. will there be an investigation into this mess? >> well, this should definitely be hearings. i mean, we should definitely bring these airlines in and find out what is going on . i mean, they did get seven in this case. southwest got seven billion dollars and there was tens of billions of dollars that went out to all the airlines to keep them afloat. and you know what?

they still furloughed employees. they did not choose to upgrade their their system air for scheduling. and that is what created a lot of the headache that you're seeing now. in a matter of fact, i think what's really frustrating is the taxpayers foot the bill seven billion dollars, and then they decide that they're going to issue dividends to their stockholders instead of making those necessary improvements to make sure that they can keep these flights on schedule and avoid these types of cancelations. southwest, as you know, is point to point is sort of the hub system. and so if you cancel one , it kind of creates this domino effect. and that's exactly what happened here. but i think it could have been avoided had they had a more modern system in place. >> i've been speaking to a lot of pilots over the last few days. >> they claim the biden administration rejected a bill that lindsey graham and others put forward in the senate that would lower or rather extend the retirement age for pilots from seventy five to seventy or sixty seven .

now, i guess it's okay to be a president at eighty five , but you can't fly a plane beyond sixty five . i got that. why would they be opposed to something so elementary as lowering the retirement age, extending to let pilots with proven experience stay in the skies a little longer. well sure. especially if you have assistant pilot. if something were to happen that there's a backup there. but obviously there's look, there's a lot of bills that are in place right now that we need to take up seriously. i think in in the house majority, what's really frustrating here is that boota gege brought all these airlines in. he said he was holding them accountable. he said he was going to push them to fix their operations so they wouldn't be cancelations. and he actually said coming out of these meetings that they were going to be prepared for the holidays and he had fixed this for the holiday season. and then look what happened. and i think that's what's really frustrating to the american people, is you always hear this administration talk about accountability and fixing things. and yet we find out the same problem keeps getting worse. we see at the border, we see it with inflation. we see it with supply chain

issues. it's just one thing after another that continues to get worse. and the administration is so out of touch. we have the president on a private plane to st. croix. you've got energy prices through the roof. people can't afford their heating bills. they're choosing between putting food on the table and heat because of the inflation and the energy crisis that the president created. and now we see a border crisis continuing to be made worse by this administration. >> well, speaking of private planes, buta jeje, an advocate of increased government action to curb carbon emissions, he has taken at least 18 flights using taxpayer funded private jets since taking office. it's unclear the exact number, but the faa has charged federal agencies roughly five thousand dollars an hour to use its fleet. congressman, again, rules for the not for me. what do you do about this, though? remember poor old tom price and the trump administration had to resign for taking twenty six flights. >> people to judge is almost

there and we have to continue to shame them because there is a hypocrisy there. i see it firsthand. aoc takes not one to gas guzzling suvs to go two blocks to go vote from the house legislative building to the capitol y you y and you claim to be the advocate for climate change. you want all electric vehicles by twenty, thirty five . there's just a hypocrisy here. and they're just so out of touch with the american people. look, i'm all for clean energy . we need diversification, right? we can't exclude our traditional energy sources like new york is the closing indian point power plant. they won't extend gas fired plants. and now they're complaining that the electric rates are too high to run the public transportation system. our clean buses. so so, you know, there's a hypocrisy here. and they just they're about politics, not policy. and i think the house republicans are going to be different. we're going to pass bills to push for energy independence and for border security and to address supply chain issues. we're going to do it now. let's see what the senate does in turn. but i think that's the only leverage we have right now.

again, there's a through line through all these segments, bad policies have consequences. sure. and there's a domino effect. and the people sadly end up suffering. congressman, thank you for being here. we will be staying in touch with you in the days ahead. thank you. thanks so much. jim zella's getting help for their phone phobia. what is this all about? and whoopi goldberg doubles down on anti-semitism. actor director robert davi reacts to the details in a special seen and unseen. >> that's next. stay there. hey, i just got a text from my sister. >> you remember rick , her neighbor? sure. he's seventy six year old guy who still runs marathons, right? >> sadly, not anymore. what you mean just like that? >> wow. so sudden we're not about to have the we need life insurance conversation again,

talking to them. they've lost that. or they'd rather text. and this is a i think it's a tick tock. it's instagram. it's booming. it's what other kind of apps. but they don't speak on the phone. they don't call up and say, hey, what are you guys doing? i have kids. they're texting. you go to a restaurant. adults are texting back and forth. it's difficult. they've lost that jet. look at genex needs a lot more training on other things. well, they need just about human interaction. i mean, it's human cues. it's vocal cues that is totally lost. when this is all you're using, look for four hundred and eighty bucks an hour. forget the phone. she needs to be the curse than manners. lady, as far as i'm concerned, here are some young people. we spoke to about this phone crisis today. >> some of my friends are afraid to talk like it for ordering a pizza or something. so i usually do it for them because i . i need that practice and it's a good skill to have. i would rather text because it's easier. so yeah, i would say also

decline calls because why not just text me? it's quicker. easier mostly. i usually text by phone calls are not like trouble for me. if someone calls me, i'll answer, i'll talk to them. >> but i'm not usually to make a phone call. robert , you've directed, you've acted your whole life. it just occurred to me. could this be why acting is degraded and degraded? in our culture today? because people don't have you can't replicate emotions and little sensitive moments and details that you've never observed in life. >> they are preparing us for artificial intelligence whereby we have a plug in our brains and we lose we lose human interaction, as you said, with the acting classes, their skype classes. there's this. kids aren't getting up and doing scenes study like they did for decades with you and i did with stella adler and lee strasberg and the rest of them. those those few and far between . >> and it's endemic of the whole society.

we have a look at you call up a service. you don't speak to a human being. you have forty five prompts to get through to somebody maybe who's a human being. that can speak english. >> yeah, no, it's all meant to delay human contact. robert , i need to move on . director james cameron has been out promoting his new film, the sequel to avatar, that nobody asked for. >> he spoke to esquire about his past use of guns in films, saying, i look back at some of the films i've made and i don't know if i would want to make that film now. i don't know if i would want a fetish. is the gun like i did a couple of terminator movies thirty plus years ago and our current world. what's happening with guns in our society turns my stomach. i'm happy to be living in new zealand where they just banned all assault rifles and cameron also went on to say he cut about ten minutes of gunplay from his newest movie. now, hollywood should take note, robert . this is one way to get

james cameron to cut his movies . but it strikes me this is like dolly parton decrying blond wigs and cleavage. he made his money on gun play every movie terminator, a true, true lies. all of this stuff had gunplay. it feels like laddered davut signaling to me. >> what say you? yes. well, i mean, i used to ride motorcycles with women, arnold schwarzenegger back in the 90s and stuff during terminator and afterwards in true lazara. then he was a gentleman. he was a nice man. and i think it is the virtue signaling, signaling that is happening. look, raymond, there's a crisis in hollywood whereby white men , white show runners, white writers, white directors, older guys are not getting hired. they want younger people of color. so there's a fear, i'm sure, in terms of saying i don't want to feel out of touch with this gen z generation. that's whatever is happening out there in society. and i think that's part of the issue. there's a fear of and it has

to be it can also be because i don't know his current state of being, but there could also be a revelation in terms of, you know, what's with the violence in hollywood films, what it portrayed. and i say, what about the gaming? and gaming is even worse. the gaming is an active participation of violence to a non-human object that's pretending to be a human. yeah, they kind of mystifies, you know, so. >> yeah, no, you're absolutely right. and the gaming is far more pervasive and influential than films. kids are spending hours immersed in it, communicating with each other through these gaming platforms. you know, the other thing that that he said, robert cameron said, was that he regretted the toxic masculinity of his films in the past. now, in the year that saw top gun as the number one movie in the country, it's an odd time to pick a fight with masculinity, isn't it? >> it's the sign of the times.

it's an unfortunate, very unfortunate thing that's happening. i talk to a friend of mine, my new neighbor here out here in tampa bay. he's an ex green beret guy, wonderful person. i won't mention his name, but highly decorated. he told me that in the military now, this toxic masculinity that women who cannot do the job, that let's say for men , they have to do eight deadlifts, a woman can just do a half a thing. and then when they get in situations, a woman was jumping out of the plane and she couldn't pull herself up, untangling the the you know, so it's a it's a problem. >> robert , i wish i had more time. so we will discuss toxic masculinity in all its varieties when we return. in the new year. >> happy new year, robert . great to see you again. thank you for that. also, a singer don't again, i'm also a singer, okay? >> amid rising inflation and open border and a travel crisis, "the washington post"

"the washington post" just published findings from a years long investigation into congress's not so are not how much money they waste, but about congress's relationship with slavery. examining more than four hundred statues and paintings. and wouldn't you know, they found issues with many of them, particularly when it came to the founders. many of the works depict multiple enslavers, like the painting of the signing of the declaration of independence in the capitol rotunda. joining is now horace cooper project . >> twenty one chairman, author of put you all back in chains. horace, the wash poll has identified one hundred thirty

nine artworks depicting one hundred and forty one enslavers and thirteen confederates. what do you make of this year's long investigation? into this? it's this pitiful. this is sad. you know, i worked on capitol hill for more than a decade. >> not only was i never in any way troubled, dismayed or bothered, but instead i found fascinating the history of america. none of the other employees and coworkers that i interacted with had these kinds of complaints, including blacks, whites and browns. what we're seeing is a rewrite of america. we must start what i am. i refer to it as the hate america first plan, whether it's "the washington post" or whether it's some other progressive group. why aren't we focused on reconciliation? yeah, the biggest war.

go ahead. the the biggest war that we americans have ever been in, the one that has left the most life lost is the civil war. we made an amazing and remarkable sacrifice. >> now, are we going to avoid the kind of reconciliation that we were able to do with the japanese and the germans? did we insist that mitsubishi not be allowed to sell their products in america, that they had to redesign their logo? are we banning vokes wagan hitler's peoples car from being able to be sold in america? we have adopted reconciliation for some of the most hateful incidents that have ever

happened in modern times. why aren't we able to reconcile with the past, you know, horrors without acknowledge the dark shadows of your history? you're right. you can never reconcile and you can never move on . and it seems to me by just stripping away everything, nancy pelosi remove the portraits of four speakers of the house because of their ties to the past and things that she found disagreeable. yet robert byrd's image in twenty seven , senator robert byrd, whom they all knew there's you can see joe barton there on the left side of your screen. >> this guy was an exalted cyclops in the ku klux, but his image continues to hang in the capitol. there seems to be a double standard here. >> our president, the grandson ,a great grandson of a holder. are we really going to be this foolish where we pick winners and losers, progressives get a pass and others who made this
