>> Wesley Wildmon: And I'll answer in school. I continue to get corrected. When I would write the word a lot.
>> Fred Jackson: Okay.
>> Tim Wildmon: And how would you.
>> Wesley Wildmon: How would they would say that? It's two words. It's a. And then lot, and then a. Lot is not a word because lot is.
>> Tim Wildmon: You can. You can mesh them together when you talk, like. Like people do. But I'm telling you as a just pure, English, it is two words. A capital A, and. And then second word, B, lot, L,
>> Wesley Wildmon: O, T. But is lot, though? Is that not like a. Like a parcel?
>> Tim Wildmon: Are you trying. Are you. Are you yanking my chain? Cuz I feel like you're yanking my chain here.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Is lot not a parcel?
>> Tim Wildmon: Lot is a, is. Well, it's a dangling parcel. A lot of people don't know that.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Is it like a location? Like a, a marked off area?
>> Steve Jordahl: It can be both, you know.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Let's introduce Steve Paisley. Jordo. Hey, everybody, Jackson's back here. We're introducing Steve's chain.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Steve, would you clarify all of this
>> Steve Jordahl: for us, lot is a word that can be it. It has multiple meanings. A parcel of land. Another is many.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Okay. And. And I didn't ask that. As if I knew, though.
>> Tim Wildmon: Steve studies the dictionary for a hobby.
>> Steve Jordahl: I do. I love English. I love writing, but.
>> Tim Wildmon: All right, Steve, what's your first news story for us?
Warning: What we're about to talk about is very graphic and sensitive
>> Steve Jordahl: All right, listen, I want to start off by saying that, this next, what we're going to be talking about, has some very graphic and sensitive things. So if you're a parent out there with young kids, you might want to, do something else for a while and then go back and screen this
>> Tim Wildmon: later to see you're giving a warning right now that what we're about to talk about is, unpleasant and graphic. We're not going to get explicit here with our language.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Obviously, the topic itself.
>> Tim Wildmon: The topic itself is disturbing. So therefore we're giving a warning. Go ahead.
>> Steve Jordahl: I am.
For decades, there was a systematic child exploitation and rape scandal in England
All right. for decades, England has been Europe, but England specifically has been importing people, from other countries, and they don't assimilate. It's the immigration.
>> Tim Wildmon: Muslims from the Middle east and North Africa.
>> Steve Jordahl: Muslims from the Middle East, North Africa. and, the WOKE philosophy has taken root in England to the point where it is now official policy. Let me go back and say where this started. Decades. For decades, there was a systematic child exploitation and rape scandal. Girls as young as 10, these Muslim, these actually Pakistani Muslims targeted white Christian girls, young girls, groomed them, and then, after they attacked, and sexually assaulted them, they would threaten them, threaten, their families. and it went on for years. And they're just. Now. This went on for decades and you
>> Tim Wildmon: mean on a wide scale basis?
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah. Well, 1400 children were systematically abused between 1997.
>> Tim Wildmon: And where you get this information?
>> Steve Jordahl: this is. Well, from various sources, AI put this together for me.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.
>> Steve Jordahl: But official, inquiries concluded that staff and police consciously avoided recording or investigating the ethnicity of the perpetrators for fear of sparking racial tensions. They dismissed victims as consenting or label them troubled. Sometimes they accused him of being drunk. They failed to properly track the ethnicity of child sexual exploitations to mask the true, scale of the problem. So this went on, and it's just now coming to the fore.
>> Wesley Wildmon: I thought I saw something on this, several months back, maybe even as late as a year ago. So why is it coming back up right now?
>> Steve Jordahl: Well, they had a commission that did a study and took the testimony of these girls, and we're just now hearing the testimony of the girls. We can't bring you any of that. it is too graphic.
>> Wesley Wildmon: But that is out there. But we cannot. For radio.
>> Steve Jordahl: Yeah, we can't do it here.
Fred Corner: British police have been trained to believe claims of racism
But this kind of came also into focus, because of the murder of a young man named Henry Nowak. Now I want to. There's a difference here. We've been talking about Muslims. This is a Sikh, but it is immigration. This is an immigrant that they let in. And this young man, 18 year old guy named Henry Nowak, he's a first year accounting student at the University of Southampton in England. And he was coming home, with his university football teammates and he crossed paths with a guy named Vikram Dighwa, 23 years old, a Sikh man who was carrying a knife. They had a little bit of an interaction and Sikwa stabbed Nowak stabbed him five times, including fatally. They called the police and ah, Nowak was alert and present when the police got there.
>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.
>> Steve Jordahl: Well, Digua said, oh, he racially, he said some racist things against me, tried to knock my turban off. Well, the British police have been trained and I'll play the audio in a second. Have been trained to automatically believe claims of racism.
>> Wesley Wildmon: That's right.
>> Steve Jordahl: And to And they handcuffed this young white kid. He said, I've been stabbed, I can't breathe. The police, this is on the body cam video, looked at him and said, I don't think you have, mate. Meanwhile he bled out and died. This happened months ago in December of 2025. The reason it's now coming to light is because they just had the trial and they found this guy guilty of murder. And it is.
>> Tim Wildmon: You mean the Sikh. The Sikh guilty of murdering the guy you just mentioned?
>> Steve Jordahl: Correct. And so did they handcuff him? They handcuffed the white guy.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's what I'm saying. So the Sikh stabbed the white guy. The reason we were mentioning the ethnicity and the skin color and the religious is because it pertains to the WOKE movement and their hostility towards white people in particular. And
>> Wesley Wildmon: it's cost this guy, it costs his 18 year old his life.
>> Tim Wildmon: So please come. And they handcuff the guy who's bleeding out because the other fella who stabbed him said he called me a racist name.
>> Steve Jordahl: Right. Well, they did take the Sikh down to the jail, I mean when they started figuring out. But they never once cuffed. When he got to the police station, they offered him food, treated him with all kinds of generosity. Now it's coming to light. That the police are trained, they will lose their jobs if they don't treat racism as the first and foremost crime you can commit. I want you to hear. This is one of the members of Parliament who's talking here and he's talking about official British police policies.
>> Speaker E: Cut 13 the Police Anti Racism Commitment published in March 2025 by the NPCC and the College of Policing urges police forces to reverse engineer the same arrest rates between ethnic groups even though the offending rates are different by treating different ethnic groups differently. Let that sink in for, for a moment. An official police document actually says people should be treated differently based on the color of their skin. The dangerous ideology of so called anti racism allowing people to be treated differently based on race must m end.
>> Steve Jordahl: They are arresting and jailing people in England for social media posts that they think are offensive. and this is what happens when woke has its way now.
>> Wesley Wildmon: And where was this? Oh, you got.
>> Tim Wildmon: Go ahead Fred.
>> Fred Jackson: No, no, no, no.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay.
>> Fred Jackson: This is the kind of thing, we have seen it in Britain and I believe to a certain extent it has already taken root here in this country as well that we're parsing out individuals. And as an example there have been a number of incidents recently where someone, an African American, commits a crime on a subway station, whatever the case may be, and we find out they've been let out of jail, released on early probation numbers of times. And it has to do with WOKE prosecutors in this country.
>> Tim Wildmon: So this is why social justice movements
>> Steve Jordahl: and they've gone on to create more crime murders and such.
>> Fred Jackson: Murders, murdering people on subways. And you know, we had the case in Charlotte not too long ago. We've had another case I believe recently in NewSong York. So we need to pay attention to this, what has happened in Britain because it's moving to this continent as well.
>> Tim Wildmon: Let me just say this. The belief the one of America's lynchpin or stalwart or cornerstone. Cornerstone m ideals is that equal justice under the law. Right?
>> Wesley Wildmon: innocent to proven guilty.
>> Tim Wildmon: Innocent to proven guilty. But the idea is that we should all be treated equally under the law. Okay, so let me explain just briefly what's described as the social justice movement, also known as the WOKE movement. And I know sometimes people say, well you're dumbing things down. Well, a lot of people don't really understand what's going on here or the idea behind it because of the historical mistreatment of black people in America, namely slavery. And then the black folks didn't even have the right to vote until the 1963 Civil Rights 64.
>> Steve Jordahl: They had the right immediately following the Civil War, but they were discouraged, oftentimes prevented because of poll taxes.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay, but it wasn't slavery. But it was still, they were second class citizens until the civil rights movement took place in the 60s. And then the majority of white Americans realized that we have to make life better, we have to try to help to make life better for black Americans because they've been mistreated. And we acknowledge that.
>> Steve Jordahl: Ah. And the Republican party led the way by the way.
>> Tim Wildmon: Right, but I'm just saying that a vast majority of white Americans came to the realization that we have to do something about this problem. And we did so. And so the advancements we made in equal justice under the law, equal opportunity for all Americans, including minorities, black and then later Hispanics. today there is wide open opportunity for everybody. Okay, that's just. But what, what these social justice warriors want to do, the woke crowd, the people like this guy was talking about in England, what they want to do, they want to say this, they want to say, look, you white people,
>> Tim Wildmon: have mistreated m minorities and you're going to pay for it. All right? You're going to pay. You've historically mistreated minorities. so it's time for you to pay for it. How do you pay for it? We're going to let black youth out of jail, easily because they, they don't, they don't deserve to be imprisoned because of the way their ancestors were treated by you, by you white people. So if they come that this is the way they think. I'm just telling you whether thing I don't subscribe to that at all. I believe in treating everybody equally because that's the Christian way first and foremost. all right. But secondly, because that's the American way.
Fred Thompson: There's something called the Ferguson effect where police will refuse
And, but I'm just telling you, this is the way these people think. You'll hear them talk out loud. They hate Jews too. but they'll say, they'll say whites. That's why he's in. They use terms like stolen land.
>> Tim Wildmon: Okay. You white people have mistreated Native Americans, therefore you deserve, therefore the Native Americans deserve, reparations or money or to not be punished for violating the law because their ancestors were mistreated.
>> Speaker E: You.
>> Tim Wildmon: That's a warped way of thinking, but this is the way these people think.
>> Steve Jordahl: Go ahead and I'll tell you.
>> Tim Wildmon: Does that make sense?
>> Steve Jordahl: It is currently, the prime belief of the Democrat Party. Right now I'm doing a story on the Democrat Socialist Party, which is taking control of the United States. Democrat Party people like the Squad and Mondani in NewSong York City, they are enraging a generation of young, black, young liberals of all races. They are, putting these, lies about the racial past truth, but it's been paid for by a bloody civil war in many ways. so they're enraging and creating a whole generation of victims and promising them free stuff that they'll never deliver. So this is what you're voting on this particular, these kind of policies in November.
>> Tim Wildmon: Go ahead, Wesley.
>> Wesley Wildmon: I was going to make a point on this. what was the young.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, the one who was killed.
>> Wesley Wildmon: The one that was killed. The Deputy Chief Constable Robert France. I listened to his comments on this earlier today, this morning, and he says this. He said, I'm sorry that he and his life could not be. Nope, sorry. When the killer, quote, when, when his killer made the call talking about the Sikh to the police, he didn't call the police. He, he called the police. He didn't call an ambulance service. He, he lied. Talking about the Sikh. He lied on the call. He lied. When he called the police tendon tended and he lied. When, when the police attended the scene, he continued a lot of Henry's conditions of deteriorated. Deteriorated, deteriorated. The point that I was going to make on this, when I was listening to him, he was reaffirming that racism is at the top and it should be prioritized. And this is a total breakdown in how the police are trained to train the United States. In the United States, you detained everybody that said the crime of a scene and then you sort out the details later. The fact that their excuse is, well, he lied to us about racism. That was his reason. That was their reasoning for letting them bleed out. They said he was a racist. I know we made that point earlier, but just think about that for a minute. the fact in the United States if a police officer shows up to a crime, everybody doesn't. If you're holding a weapon of any kind, even if it's for self defense, they take the weapon from you and you're detained. Because they don't know that it's for self defense until they figure it out later.
>> Tim Wildmon: Did you see what happened?
>> Steve Jordahl: It wasn't supposed to work. But Fred, there's something called the Ferguson effect where the police will refuse, will err on the side of a black victim or black person, for fear of losing their job or Being called racist.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yep.
>> Fred Jackson: That has been happening since George Floyd. And then you're referring to probably prior to that, Ferguson, Missouri, where most of the cops left that city. They left that city because remember Barack Obama was in charge. They set up this commission and basically you cops did everything wrong.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah, I think a lot of this has to do with you know, people go into their different camps or their tribes and the facts of the situation of the case get lost in passion. And so the for example in the black inner city, the inner cities of America, which is mostly black folks and other minorities, Hispanics, there is a, tension between the police and the community and there has been for a long time and there probably will be for a long time. Just because there's so much confrontation, it's unavoidable. so there's a lot of, there's a lot of mistrust, I'm saying among, so that, so people who don't live there need to acknowledge that does exist because most inner city America is not made up of a lot of white folks. Okay. It's mostly blacks and Hispanics and other minorities. I'm talking about within the city limit. So they have a different relationship with the police officers in the police department and I would say the police department and the sheriff's department, they all are doing a better job in America of trying to build relationships with the inner city community. But at the same time you've got to acknowledge too that there is a real problem, especially with young African American males in this country who commit 55%, I think of all violent crime and they only represent like 5% of the population. So I think something needs to be done within the African American community. And a lot of people are trying to address that issue.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Right.
>> Tim Wildmon: Because that's rarely even talked about. Think about that for just a moment. That I think I'm citing FBI statistics. I've seen it multiple times and this is the reason. Every day in the newspaper and on the news you see 14 to 25 year old black males in trouble all the time, all the time because, and you go, what is wrong with, are they not getting any guidance in life? So you just go, just go, well if 13% of the population in America is made up of African Americans, okay, let's say 6% of that would be male. Let's say in that male population that
>> Wesley Wildmon: 3, to 5, percent.
>> Tim Wildmon: Not even that, yeah, maybe, maybe 3% would fall into the 15 to 35 year old demographic well, then you could see. And you're telling me that, or maybe, maybe older than that, you're telling me that population is committing over half the violent crimes in America. That has to be acknowledged as a real serious problem that needs to be addressed. And when you say things like, well, we need to promote marriage so that these kids have dads, that has to
>> Wesley Wildmon: be a breaking news.
>> Tim Wildmon: And have mentors, then you're called a racist.
>> Wesley Wildmon: Yeah.
>> Tim Wildmon: Then you, then they tell you, oh, you don't believe single women can raise children. My mama raised me. You see what you kind of push back, you get. And you want to say, no, no, nobody's saying that. Because we all have, we all know examples, even in white community or Hispanic, the single mothers have raised children to be responsible adults. But on, but the larger. It don't take an individual situation. Take the larger picture here. If you have, multiple generational welfare, situation, and they don't have dads in the home, which 75% of African American homes don't have children are born out of wedlock, I think it's up to 40 or 45% in the white community now. And that's growing. Then you, it doesn't matter what color you are, if you don't have, if you don't have, dads in the home raising their children, you're going to have problems on a massive scale down the road with your young people. And that's what we're seeing happening in America. And it's not racist to point these things out, but when you do point these things out, you're called a racist.
Another group of victims are black people in these inner cities
>> Fred Jackson: And another group of victims are black people in these inner cities.
>> Tim Wildmon: In the inner cities, that's right.
>> Fred Jackson: Because their little boys and girls are being caught in the crossfires between the gangs and they're pleading, but the boss of the police departments are saying, no, you better not go down there because there's great racial tension. These dear moms and dads are saying, we need help.
>> Fred Jackson: We need help because our little boys and girls are being.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yeah. It creates an unsafe environment for everyone in the neighborhoods in the inner city. Yeah, for sure. Thank you, Steve.
>> Steve Jordahl: My pleasure.
Sam: I think we did above average today
>> Tim Wildmon: All right, thank you, Wesley Fred, Brent Crey, our producer, Cole Greene, our video man.
>> Wesley Wildmon: I thought we did, slightly above, better than average today.

>> Tim Wildmon: I think we did say that.
>> Steve Jordahl: Good.
>> Tim Wildmon: Yep.
