I I see all the headlines. I I understand what everybody's saying about it. I get it. But one thing we need to bear in mind is a a a severe dose of reality is always warranted when we're dealing with the left so we can stop pretending. We don't have to give the benefit of the doubt and let's, you know, everything you're hearing from the left, all of this is deliberate and dangerous.

And in this most spectacular case, it's criminal. Let's go to James Comey, the disgraced former FBI director. He posted eighty six forty seven on Instagram. He thought he was being clever. I'll make me a little shell thingy there in the, in the sand.

This wasn't an inside joke. This was a coded threat. This is the same kind of thing that motivated James Hodgkinson. Aim squarely, Donald Trump, the forty seventh president of The United States, knew exactly what he was doing. Now for years, the far left was using eighty six forty five as shorthand to get rid of the forty fifth president which was also Donald Trump too.

And it was cute. It was clever or at least to them and it meant remove and or more darkly eliminate. And this number showed up on signs and bumper stickers and t shirts and social media bios. And now Trump has returned the office, well, you know, it has to be updated and revised. So Comey didn't miss a beat, so new code 8647.

This wasn't a typographical error. This was an excitement issued by a man who once led the FBI. And this wasn't careless timing. This was evil. In 2024 alone, there were three separate gun related assassination attempts on president Trump.

One of them in Butler, Pennsylvania, shot shot shots actually fired. The other two in Florida and California involved armed individuals who arrested before they could get a shot off. Each of them was later revealed to be a radicalized leftist, not some confused loner, not a political centrist, true believer progressives that, they view Trump not as a political opponent but as a monster that must be destroyed. And the fake stream, well, they they got out there. They got out there and they reported the stories briefly.

No deep dive. No hour long panel. No breathless national coverage. And very, very interestingly, no curiosity. See, we keep hearing about how rhetoric is rhetoric is one of those things that, you know, words are violence.

That's what we get told. Words are violence, but no deep dive here, which brings us back to James Comey. So in this climate now if everybody was out there and everybody universally loved Donald Trump, you could look at this as sort of almost a joke, but this is not not right now. After three attempts on Trump's life, Comey's not joking. He's not joking.

He sees a fire already burning, so throw some gasoline on it. And he's doing he's doing it from the platform of elite power wrapped in the smugness of Beltway. Privileged. Now if former if a former Trump cabinet official posted eighty six forty six while Biden was in office, the entire DC ecosystem would have melted down. It would have gone into critical mass.

DOJ investigations and FBI raids and MSNBC CNN specials and calls for accountability and consequence, but this was aimed at Trump. And the media elite and the deep state have one common thing about Trump. They both loathe them, so they just nod and wink. But let's not make any mistake about this. Okay?

Comey's post was a threat. It was a telegraphed dog whistle, digital. And the people most likely to act on it have already tried three times to kill this man. Apparently, he was thinking to himself, well, I I don't know if it's still going on as much as it should. So, and this is not just tasteless and it's not just partisan.

It's illegal. You can't do this. Threats against the life of a sitting president of The United States is a federal crime. And unlike a teenage meme maker maker in his parents' basement, Comey knows that. He ran the FBI.

He once enforced that standard, and now he just wants to pretend that he doesn't know wha ...

At the Greenville County GOP convention, right, before I introduce my next guest, I warned of the possibility of, political violence and I take no pleasure in being right about it. Joining me now is US representative Nancy Mace. Good afternoon. Good afternoon, sir. How are you?

I'm good. You don't have to call me, sir. Nobody's knighted me. Bill is fine. Bill is fine.

So, you had a tranTifa coming after you or wanting to come after you. Wanted to kill me. Wants to kill me, put an assassination threat online a few weeks ago and, praise god, Sled and the Capitol Police took it seriously. He was arrested and this morning was his bond hearing. I was in Greenville County for the bond hearing where the judge denied his bond because the judge said in his own words he believed he was a credible threat to my life.

Now I got a question for you. I I I don't even know if you were in congress during the Alexandria incident where James Hoskinson, the Bernie bro, decided to go after the entire Republican softball team. But, I have never thought that that you guys have adequate security. Am I correct with that? That is correct.

That is correct. So do you get now when you get some sort of a threat like this, is there somebody can you augment what you've got going on? Whatever Yeah. Well, even after I was I was assaulted at the capital last year and I still couldn't I still can't, to this day, get a detail regardless of the number of threats I get. I get threats every single day from Trantifa and others in the Democrat party, the far left and progressives.

And they they refuse to give me a detail. And so I am so grateful. I backed the blue. I want the police fully funded because local law enforcement will show up to our events and will help give us some security coverage. And then we also have private security that we have to hire on the outside to make sure that me, my employees and family are safe just when we're going about the day of, the the normal course of work throughout a day.

I was thinking that, you probably need a couple of pipe hitters working for you as a Citadel graduate. Do you know what a pipe hitter is? No. I what is a pipe hitter? A pipe hitter is one of those baby Huey soldiers that can bench press a jeep that, was really good at, you know, just do being a soldier.

You probably need a couple of those working for you because I don't think it's gonna change simply because you're just so plain spoken. You you don't seem to suffer fuel fools very well in these hearings that you I I see you in there, and, I can see where some people would look at that and, now are any other, you know, with with the Alexandria incident, the Bernieborough, whatever Bernie Sanders had said seemed to precipitate his attack. Is anybody out there act actively looking at you and saying, well, you know, we need to take down Nancy Mace. You know, she gotta go. Anybody anybody in the political class doing that right now?

We got another threat this morning online on x. You know, it was like eight eight six Nancy Mace. Right? You know? And so if you go on and you follow me online at Nancy Mace on any of the social media, whether it's, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, you can go read the diarrhea of the mouth being spit out by hateful Democrats showing how much they hate women and they endorse violence against women because they're online blaming me for for, someone threatening to assassinate me, blaming me, the victim for all this.

And it's like, no, man. That's not how this is gonna work and I'm not gonna cower. I'm not going to be shy. I'm not gonna be a wallflower. And I'm gonna I'm I'm gonna stand up for myself, and I'm gonna stand up for every single woman and girl across the state of South Carolina and across the country.

You can bet on that. So are most of these threats coming from the tranctiva because you're so much. You you you seem to be very heavily invested in the whole fact that, you know, there's women and there's men and they're n ...

I am still at Upstate Ward Solution seven seventy Pelham Road. The Hubert Ruse Ruse the Roup. The Roup. Rupert Hughes. That's right.

I had to call him. I I messed it up. See? I Yep. Hey.

There you go. See, he was afraid that he was gonna mess up, so I just do that. So now you're way out. Thighs. You're way off the hook on that now.

Way off the hook. Still got food here. Still got food. Ingles is Ingles has done very well. Now joined now by Joy Russo.

You're with the Greenville County Council now. Yes, sir. But you're a former Greenville County sheriff's deputy. Yes, sir. I am.

Yep. So how do you like working with your new veterans that are working there with you? Oh, it's great. Yeah. Yeah.

We had we had some good have some good good new blood. You and those three would gel. Yeah. No. They're good guys.

Yeah. We had have a have a good new it's it's a lot of new a lot of new people. I think it's probably one of the first times in in council history. We have eight councilmen, I think, on first terms. Right.

I mean, it's a lot of new a lot of new blood. A lot of new blood. Tell me, what is the importance of the Peace Office Memorial Peace Officer Memorial Day with throughout the county? I mean, I know that the community supports law enforcement. Absolutely.

How much do they turn out for this? How much do they sit back and observe a moment of silence to get out there, pat people on the back, and say, thanks for what you do. You know, green Greenville really is a special place. And, you know, I know we from my experience, when I was a sheriff's deputy on the road, there was a lot of anti law enforcement things going around the country. And, thankfully, when just here in Greenville, you just don't really see that as much.

And we have a lot of great people that come out and support and take a day like this that, you really take a take a minute to remember the the people who've made the ultimate sacrifice. And I really feel like a lot of people out there making sure that we let the families, let the people know that we're that we're still that we still remember and that we won't we won't forget their sacrifices, and we appreciate everybody that's out there serving every single day. So within the Greenville County Council, I mean, you guys have got a lot of things to be concerned about. You got budgets and public transportation. When we lose a police officer in the local community, how much is that how much of a ripple do you guys feel in that?

Oh, I mean, I think it it I I at least can speak for myself, especially because I I know what it's like to to wear the uniform. It's it it it hits home. I mean, it's it's hard to lose one of those one of those men or women that that go out there every single day when they, you know, they walk out their door. They don't know they really don't know if they're gonna come back. That's right.

And and that's a routine. And when you see that and we're looking at we're looking at broad picture. We're looking at, you know, the whole county government that's including sheriff's office, EMS, and all the people that that, that really stay for the community on a daily basis. And when you lose somebody, it you know, it's it's something that hurts. And going to a law enforcement funeral, something that that I've experienced, and that's something you'll never forget.

Right. It's it's it's very impactful. When when I got out of the military, I had a bit I had a couple of issues. Mhmm. And so you were a sheriff's deputy, and you you, you went from being a sheriff's deputy to a councilman.

Mhmm. So when you became a councilman, did you look at some things and some of the things that they would say, oh, wow. This is a really big problem and say to yourself, you guys haven't got a clue what a really big problem is. Yep. Yeah.

I think, I was I was very fortunate. I've chose to do some, some stress inoculation in my life. Right. I've I've been, went, you know, went to the Citadel, was four years at ...

I am still at Upstate Ward Solution seven seventy Pelham Road. The Hubert Ruse Ruse the Roop. The Roop. Rupert Hughes. That's right.

I had to call it. I I messed it up. See, I Yep. Hey. There you go.

See, he was afraid that he was gonna mess up, so I just did that. So now you're way out. Roof thighs. You're way off the hook on that one now. Way off the hook.

Still got food here. Still got food. Ingles is Ingles has done very well. Now joined now by Joy Russo. You're with the Greenville County Council now.

Yes, sir. But you're a former Greenville County sheriff's deputy. Yes, sir. I am. Yep.

So how do you like working with your new veterans that are working there with you? Oh, it's great. Yeah. Yeah. We had we had some good have some good good new blood.

Alright. 770 Pelham Road, Upstate Warrior Solutions. It is law enforcement week, and this is law enforcement day. And I've got wall to wall law enforcement. Joining me now from the Anderson County Sheriff's Office is, sergeant Dalen Creamer.

You're not related to a guy named Jim, are you? No, sir. Okay. I went out I graduated from Westside. That's why I went out.

Okay. Yeah. And there was a Jim Creamer there. And I don't know how many creamers are actually in Anderson, but there's probably at least two now. Pretty good amount.

Pretty good at cream a lot of creamers. I'm I'm with the Williamson Creamers. Gotcha. Well, those are the those are the best ones. Yes, sir.

The Williamson Creamers are the best ones. You also own Laser Work Foundation. Now Laser Work and, I've I've got a few things that have had that done, but you do laser engraving. Yes, sir. What what is the purpose of laser engraving a a rifle magazine, for example?

Just for design? Just for the coolness of it. If, if I drop it, I know it's mine. Nobody else can steal it. Doesn't blend in.

You know, I never had thought about that aspect of it. Because when I was in the army, I could you know, there was always a box of those laying around. If I did if I lost one, I'd just pick one up. Grab somebody else's. Grab somebody else's.

You are with Anderson County now. Anderson County, I've heard varying things about Anderson County. But, sheriff McBride and and your group that's in there right now, have you guys sort of tamed it a little bit? Yeah. Crime rate has gone down a little bit.

Yeah. I'm actually not on patrol anymore. Right. So, I don't have to I'm not out there on the streets. Right.

I'm dealing with it face to face. But, the crime stats and rates and and and the CID division investigating the crimes has really got their, solving the crime numbers up. So So which is there? A good side, bad side to Anderson? You know, I tell everybody, the crime's across the whole county.

Really? It's across the whole nation. I mean, there are some areas that, you you know, you use caution with and you know? But it it's everywhere. You you really can't pinpoint it to one location.

Now are you making a memorial bracelet, or do you guys have memorial bracelets within the sheriff's department? Or what what what's going on with it? Yeah. So I started the Laser Work Memorial Bracelet Foundation. We started it about a year and a half ago.

Right. So currently, any agency in the line or any agency in The US that loses somebody in the line of duty, we currently are able to send them a hundred laser engraved memorial bracelets at no cost. That includes fire, EMS, law enforcement, or members of the military, and includes anybody we lose in those professions to suicides. That's actually a thing that I've seen in the military too, that everybody sort of does that as a as a a sign of homage to the fallen, don't they? I mean, but I remember the MIA bracelets.

Remember those silver bracelets? Yeah. Mhmm. So those I've always thought were pretty cool. Now with community, how how does Anderson treat you guys?

How how does Anderson treat the sheriff's department? Really good. Yeah. You know, I hate to say when you when you're faced with a tragedy Yeah. Is when you really, feel the community support and involvement.

But, you know, it it comes and goes. You know, I I look at I I I know a lot of people that are fascinated with the Murdoch case. Yes. Right? And I I look at the Murdoch case, and all I'm thinking is Dukes of Hazard with Boss Hogg.

Like, there was this one guy down there that was the overlord of everything. I've never seen anything like that up here. Is that because of law enforcement and the way this works out within the community and the community itself? As far as you're talking about just chases of that nature or just the whole The that that kind of thing being set up and running the county and that kind of corruption and everything. I mean, I've never seen this wit ...

Upstate Warrior Solution seven enforcement week, and this is law enforcement day. And I have lots and lots of law enforcement, both present and past. And joining me now to be to to kick things off, of course, is the sheriff of the biggest county in the state of South Carolina, sheriff Hobart Lewis Greenville County. Good after. Good yeah.

Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Yes, sir. Glad to be here.

Yeah. You you came in you came strolling in looking sort of GQ on me. What what what was going on with that? I was dressing up. I know we're my mom says I got a face made for radio.

Well, they got a big camera. I wasn't sure. Yeah. I wasn't sure if somebody was gonna put me on on TV or not. So line of duty deaths, that's that's a thing that in in law enforcement, it ripples across the state when that happens, doesn't it?

It does. You know, it's a huge blue family, and, not very many people in law enforcement have not experienced some type of in the line of duty death in their agency or an agency close by them, where they work. So they do all come together in the state wherever that occurs, as well as the joining states. And, mutual suffering does a lot. So when somebody, you know, dies in the line of duty, you obviously know what they went through on some level.

You knew what their daily job was, and then you know what their family is suffering through. We got many, many family members here to today, that have experienced that loss, and we certainly try to continue to bring them into our family and let them know they're always part of that. So for you as a sheriff in Greenville County, I know there's been a lot of deputy involved shootings over the last week or so. Mhmm. That's gotta put you sort of on pins and needles when that happens as you're trying to assess what's going on out there.

Have you got anybody down? If they're down, how bad? You gotta go out there. Sure. Every time I mean, when I came out there to see you the other day, you had to go out there and go go to one of those places to oversee it.

We do have a higher number than we have in the past. Right. And, I attribute that to us going after the bad guy. Right. And, we do that a lot in the last five years than we ever have before, and there's certainly, some bad people out there with bad intentions.

Right. Drugs, now call, and all those issues factored in. But, yeah, you ask we ask a lot of our law enforcement, and we put them in some of the most critical situations. And training is key. One thing we found in my five years in every officer involved shooting, they always resort back to their training.

Those, you know, small muscles aren't working anymore. The adrenaline's pumping. The big muscles take over. Right. And we are very thankful, very, very thankful that we have not had, deputies injured any worse or any more frequently than they have been in today's world.

We lost Conley's jumper, October the twentieth of twenty twenty. And, remember that day well. It happened on the interstate. We had another deputy shot in the leg, shortly thereafter, on a construction site. And, you know, it's a it is a dangerous time, but you certainly try to equip them to keep them safe as possible and make sure they return home.

Right. So, Memorial Day Memorial Day, a lot of people that's a that has a military annotation to it. A lot of law enforcement is foreign military. Absolutely. A lot of guys like that sort of regimented, brotherhood kind of thing that Migrate after they get out of the service or maybe in the National Guard or Reserve, certainly migrate toward public safety in some way.

So are we getting are are we moving into a place where we're looking at the guys that had their end of watch unfortunately come about prematurely and including in that them in Memorial Day now? Absolutely. Yes, sir. And community involvement in Police Week. How would the community get involved in Police Week?

Well, we're at Upstate Warrior Solutions today, which is s ...

Upstate Warrior Solution seven enforcement week, and this is law enforcement day. And I have lots and lots of law enforcement, both present and past. And joining me now to be to to kick things off, of course, is the sheriff of the biggest county in the state of South Carolina, sheriff Hobart Lewis Greenville County. Good after. Good yeah.

You know, it's a huge blue family, and, not very many people in law enforcement have not experienced some type of in line of duty death in their agency or an agency close by them, where they work. So they do all come together in the state wherever that occurs, as well as the joining states. And, mutual suffering does a lot. So when somebody, you know, dies in the line of duty, you obviously know what they went through on some level.

You knew what their daily job was, and then you know what their family is suffering through. We got many, many family members here to today, that have experienced that loss, and we certainly try to continue to bring them into our family and let them know they're always part of that. So for you as a sheriff in Greenville County, I know there's been a lot of deputy involved shootings over the last week or so. Mhmm. That's gotta put you sort of on pins and needles when that happens as you're trying to assess what's going on out there.

Have you got anybody down? If they're down, how bad? You gotta go out there. Sure. Every time I mean, when I came out there to see you the other day, you had to go out there and go go to one of those places to oversee it.

We do have a higher number than we have in the past. Right. And, I attribute that to us going after the bad guy. Right. And, we do that a lot in the last five years than we ever have before, and there's certainly, some bad people out there with bad intentions.

Right. Drugs, now call, and all those issues factored in. But, yeah, you ask we ask a lot of our law enforcement, and we put them in some of the most critical situations. And training is key. One thing we found in my five years in every officer involved shooting, they always resort back to their training.

Those, you know, small muscles aren't working anymore. The adrenaline's pumping. The big muscles take over. Right. And we are very thankful, very, very thankful that we have not had, deputies injured any worse or any more frequently than they have been in today's world.

We lost Conley's jumper, October the twentieth of twenty twenty. And, remember that day well. It happened on the interstate. We had another deputy shot in the leg, shortly thereafter, on a construction site. And, you know, it's a it is a dangerous time, but you certainly try to equip them to keep them safe as possible and make sure they return home.

Right. So, Memorial Day Memorial Day, a lot of people that's a that has a military annotation to it. A lot of law enforcement is foreign military. Absolutely. A lot of guys like that sort of regimented, brotherhood kind of thing that Migrate after they get out of the service or maybe in the National Guard or Reserve, certainly migrate toward public safety in some way.

So are we getting are are we moving into a place where we're looking at the guys that had their end of watch unfortunately come about prematurely and including in that them in Memorial Day now? Absolutely. Yes, sir. And community involvement in Police Week. How would the community get involved in Police Week?

Well, we're at Upstate Warrior Solutions today, which is so gr ...

Now believe it or not, I am actually truly compassionate. I'm in some ways with children and dogs and a lot of things. I'm just an old softy. And with somebody that might actually be in need, I genuinely feel bad whenever I see something on the side of the road or something occurring out there that I'm just wondering how is this possible in today's world that this happens? I actually know the answer to that but, so I understand why kind hearted people feel bad when some illegal immigrants are swept up by ICE and deported.

Most of the illegal immigrants that will get swept up did not come here to hurt anybody. Many are not actually bad people. They don't run rough shot over the system. And before Biden opened the flood flood gates, the majority of them weren't coming here to, you know, just get what they could on welfare fraud, all this other stuff. They weren't looking to grab free room and board.

Most leftists don't really understand the fiscal and societal burden from unlimited immigration, illegal or otherwise, and they can easily focus on the plight of each illegal alien one by one without seeing the big picture. But here's the problem, you know, when you can't support sweeping up rapists and murderers and gang members, then there's something wrong with you. Whatever claims you make to being empathetic to people in trouble are belied by the fact that you're fighting for the bad guys and not the victims. Like Nashville Mayor Freddie O'Connell who was fuming after ICE carried out deportation raids that resulted in the arrest of gangsters and rapists and murderers. On the Daily Wire, they had an exclusive Dem's rage over Nashville ice raids that targeted rapists and gang murders.

Time and again, we're confronted by the fact that the leftists are pro criminal. They're not pro compassion though. Criminal justice reform has led to more crime and it's led to a lower quality of life and it's led to thousands of extra murders that would never have happened but for lax enforcement of law. Since Trump has come into power, the entire apparatus of the Democrat Party is mobilized to stop the deportation of gang members and criminals. Mayors and judges and some law enforcement officers have denounced capturing and deporting sex offenders.

In Nashville, the federal deportation raids in Tennessee that have garnered outrage from local Democrats resulted in the capture of rapists, drug dealers, and gang members according to the Department of Homeland Security dossier obtained by The Daily Wire. This coming from The Daily Wire. Nashville's Democrat mayor Freddie O'Connell said he was very frustrated to see immigration enforcement in the city stating, we did not request this approach to safety. We do not support it.' So he, in response, signed an executive order mandating that communications from Immigration and Customs Enforcement be directed to his office immediately. His outrage comes with little public information known about the scale and the of the raid, but Daily Wire has learned that nearly 200 illegal aliens were captured during the week long raids including rapists, drug dealers, and gang members.

Hey, well, the kind of guys we want to see go. They carried this out in conjunction with local and federal law enforcement partners that began on May 3 and resulted in the arrest of 196 illegal aliens. Of those arrested, 95 had prior criminal, convictions or pending criminal charges. Another 31 had reentered the country after being previously removed from The United States, which is a felony offense. And, the operation resulted in getting gang members, sex offenders, and other violent criminals off Nashville streets, said Tricia McLaughlin, Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary for public affairs.

President Trump and secretary Noem will continue to stand with victims and the brave ICE agents who are on the front lines making America safe again. But as you know, we now live in a country where the judges are quite lite ...
