Speaker 1: American student organization in the country, fighting for the future
Speaker 1: of our republic. My call is to fight evil and
Speaker 1: to proclaim truth. If the most important thing for you
Speaker 1: is just feeling good, you're gonna end up miserable. But
Speaker 1: if the most important thing is doing good, you'll end
Speaker 1: up purposeful.
Speaker 2: College is a scam, everybody.
Speaker 1: You got to stop sending your kids to college.
Speaker 2: You should get married.
Speaker 1: As young as possible and have as many kids as possible.
Speaker 1: Go start at turning point you would say, college chapter.
Speaker 1: Go start attning point. Yould say high school chapter. Go
Speaker 1: find out how your church can get involved. Sign up
Speaker 1: and become an activist.
Speaker 2: I gave my.
Speaker 1: Life to the Lord in fifth grade, most important decision
Speaker 1: I ever made in my life, and I encourage you
Speaker 1: to do the same.
Speaker 2: Here I am Lord, Use me.
Speaker 1: Buckle up, everybody, Here we go. The Charlie Kirk Show
Speaker 1: is proudly sponsored by Preserved Gold, leading gold and silver
Speaker 1: experts and the only precious metals company I recommend to
Speaker 1: my family, friends and viewers.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome to the Charlie Kirk Show. It is
Speaker 3: January seventh. Lots going on. We are going to throw
Speaker 3: right here at the top to the press conference that
Speaker 3: Caroline Levitt is leading and the White House Press briefing room.
Speaker 3: It's the first one since the deposition of Maduro in Venezuela,
Speaker 3: so we're actually getting a lot of information. Let's go
Speaker 3: ahead and throw back to Caroline Levit.
Speaker 4: Maximum leverage over the interim authorities in Venezuela right now,
Speaker 4: and the President has made it very clear that this
Speaker 4: is a country within the United States, the Western hemisphere,
Speaker 4: close by the United States, that is no longer going
Speaker 4: to be sending illegal drugs to the United States of America.
Speaker 4: It's no longer going to be sending and trafficking illegal
Speaker 4: people in criminal cartels to kill American.
Speaker 5: Citizens as they have in the past. And the President is.
Speaker 4: Fully deploying his piece through strength Foreign policy agenda.
Speaker 5: So we're continuing to be in close.
Speaker 4: Coordination with the interim authorities and their decisions are going
Speaker 4: to continue.
Speaker 5: To be dictated by the United States of America.
Speaker 4: Just one follow up when you talk about that leverage, there,
Speaker 4: has the Venezuelan government fully committed to turning over its
Speaker 4: oil to.
Speaker 6: The United States and definitely and what happens if they
Speaker 6: do not.
Speaker 4: Well, as you saw the President announced last night, this
Speaker 4: was a deal. This was a deal made by the
Speaker 4: President and his team with the Venezuelan interim authorities. This
Speaker 4: will benefit both the American people and the Venezuelan people.
Speaker 4: And Secretary Right and the Department of Energy are working
Speaker 4: with the interim authorities and also with the private oil
Speaker 4: industry to execute on this historic energy deal that's not
Speaker 4: only good for the United States, but it's also going
Speaker 4: to revive the prosperity, the safety, the security.
Speaker 5: Of both the United States and Venezuela as well ed.
Speaker 7: Following up on the oil part of this, thirty to
Speaker 7: fifty million barrels of oil, how exactly is actually into
Speaker 7: worker You're getting it out of Venezuela into the United States.
Speaker 5: Yes, then that's exactly right.
Speaker 4: So as you know ed, as the President announced last night,
Speaker 4: this was the sanctioned oil that was basically just sitting
Speaker 4: in barrels, sitting on ships because of the effective quarantine
Speaker 4: of the United States of America and these the interim
Speaker 4: authorities have agreed to release dot oil to the United States,
Speaker 4: so it will be arriving here at home very soon.
Speaker 4: The United States government has already begun marketing Venezuelan crude
Speaker 4: oil and the globate marketplace for the benefit of the
Speaker 4: United States. Engage the world's leading commodity marketers key banks
Speaker 4: to execute and provide financial support for these crude oil
Speaker 4: and crude product sales. All proceeds from the sale of
Speaker 4: Venezuelan crude oil and products will first settle in US
Speaker 4: control accounts at globally recognized banks to guarantee the legitimacy
Speaker 4: and integrity of the ultimate distribution of proceeds, and those
Speaker 4: funds will be dispersed for the benefit of the American
Speaker 4: people and the Venezuelan people at the discretion of the
Speaker 4: United States government.
Speaker 7: Sounds like it requires a lot of private sector engagement
Speaker 7: and agreement, and the oil industry and the banking industry
Speaker 7: I have that.
Speaker 4: Yet, there's a lot of private sector engagement that's happening
Speaker 4: right now, as you know, Secretary right our Energy secretary
Speaker 4: who's heading up this big project, is in Florida today
Speaker 4: meeting with some of these oil executives, and as we
Speaker 4: confirmed earlier, they will also be at the White House
Speaker 4: later this week. So they are absolutely eager to invest
Speaker 4: their eager about these opportunities and Secretary right is a
Speaker 4: very well knowledgeable guy when it comes to oil and energy,
Speaker 4: and he's the perfect man for the job.
Speaker 5: Another quarter of the world. The real quick going to
Speaker 5: go go ahead.
Speaker 8: So just to follow up on the oil thirty to
Speaker 8: fifty million barrels is an initial trunk, if you will,
Speaker 8: and then what happened to after that.
Speaker 7: For.
Speaker 4: I won't get ahead of the plans that the President
Speaker 4: and his team are currently speaking with the Interim Authority
Speaker 4: is about.
Speaker 5: But rest assured there is a long term plan here.
Speaker 4: Secretary Rubio and the entire team are working diligently on
Speaker 4: and this is just sort of the first action that
Speaker 4: you all are seeing ed.
Speaker 9: Thanks goh So.
Speaker 3: In order to get these oil companies to invest billions
Speaker 3: in Venezuela, how will the US reassure that their workers
Speaker 3: will be safe in Venezuela to there be troops.
Speaker 4: You will at this point in time, as you know,
Speaker 4: there are no troops on the ground in Venezuela.
Speaker 5: The President, of course, reserves the.
Speaker 4: Right to use the United States military if necessary, it's
Speaker 4: not something he wants to do. Diplomacy is always the
Speaker 4: first option, as you saw he tried that with Nicholas Maduro,
Speaker 4: but unfortunately he was an illegitimate dictator and an unserious person,
Speaker 4: and so President Trump authorized this law enforcement operation. And
Speaker 4: now Nicholas Maduro is sitting in a prison cell in
Speaker 4: New York. So certainly the President is going to do
Speaker 4: what's in the best interests of the American people, and
Speaker 4: that includes workers from our energy and oil industry meeting tomorrow.
Speaker 9: With that meeting tomorrow, what is the message the president
Speaker 9: is going to give to the oil executives and what
Speaker 9: does he want to hear?
Speaker 4: Well, the meeting is on Friday, and it's just a
Speaker 4: meeting to discuss, obviously the immense opportunity that is before
Speaker 4: these oil companies right now.
Speaker 10: Stephen Caroline, and congratulations again, thank you to The New
Speaker 10: Yorker had a story yesterday on the Vice president and
Speaker 10: it questioned his quote notable absence on Venezuela.
Speaker 9: The sub headline asked, was the Vice president's exclusion from
Speaker 9: the operation in Venezuela and expression of this anti anti
Speaker 9: interventionist ideology or political calculation. Would you be able to
Speaker 9: discuss the Vice president's role in Venezuela policy.
Speaker 4: I did see that report in the New Yorker and
Speaker 4: quite frankly, I laughed out loud because it's very clear
Speaker 4: it's a fake report that's trying to so distrust in
Speaker 4: division amongst the president and his team. Let me just
Speaker 4: be very clear, if the vice president has been involved
Speaker 4: in all policy, he is the right hand man of
Speaker 4: the president on all policy matters, including Venezuela policy. He
Speaker 4: was of course read in and deeply involved in this
Speaker 4: operation from the very beginning, and he was present on
Speaker 4: the night of the operation via secure communication at a
Speaker 4: different location as to not damage the operational secrecy of
Speaker 4: this mission that was so incredibly important to ensure that
Speaker 4: this mission could be carried out successfully without endangering our troops.
Speaker 11: Sure, the US seized tanker recently, Russia specifically asked the
Speaker 11: United States not to seize that tanker. Does this action
Speaker 11: risk a larger conflict with Russia?
Speaker 4: I believe you're referring to the below one tanker that
Speaker 4: was seized this morning. The Department of Justice and the
Speaker 4: Department of Homeland Security and coordination with the Department of
Speaker 4: War did announce that seizure this morning for violations of
Speaker 4: US sanctions. I've spoken about the enforcement of our sanctions
Speaker 4: policy at the podium prior to the new year. In
Speaker 4: this administration is going to fully enforce the sanctioned policy.
Speaker 5: Of the United States.
Speaker 4: The vessel this morning was seized in the North Atlantic
Speaker 4: pursuant to a warrant issued by a US federal court
Speaker 4: after being tracked, and this was a Venezuelan shadow fleet
Speaker 4: vessel that has transported sanctioned oil in the United States
Speaker 4: of America.
Speaker 5: Under this president is not going to tolerate that.
Speaker 4: I would also just add the vessel head a judicial
Speaker 4: seizure order and the crew mean the crew is now
Speaker 4: subject to prosecution for any applicable violation of federal law
Speaker 4: and they will be brought to the United States for
Speaker 4: such prosecution if necessary.
Speaker 5: Kelly, Caroline, happy to you, to you, Thank you too
Speaker 5: much to talk to you.
Speaker 12: A couple of things real quickly. The first question about
Speaker 12: the Venezuelan people. As you know, there's some eight million
Speaker 12: of Venezuelans here, some of them celebrating in the streets.
Speaker 12: There are Venezuelans on the ground who are concerned about
Speaker 12: their safety. What does the Trump administration, what is it
Speaker 12: doing to actually help people in Venezuela understand that they
Speaker 12: will be secure throughout this transition.
Speaker 4: I think the fact that this president actually followed through
Speaker 4: on the long held promise of the United States of America,
Speaker 4: the bipartisan promise to take down the illegitimate Maduro regime,
Speaker 4: should give assurance to the Venezuelan people and also Venezuelan
Speaker 4: Americans who fled this communist regime for a better life
Speaker 4: here at home, that this is a president who is
Speaker 4: serious about taking down illegitimate regimes and who is also
Speaker 4: serious about securing the security of the United States of America,
Speaker 4: including the Venezuelan American people. And I would just add
Speaker 4: that this is something that not just Republicans and President
Speaker 4: Trump have talked about for a very long time, but
Speaker 4: it is also something that Democrats have advocated for.
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty, Chuck Schumer said that.
Speaker 4: At the time President Trump had not brought an end
Speaker 4: to the Maduro regime. The Maduro regime is more powerful
Speaker 4: today and more in trench today than it was when
Speaker 4: the president began. Now you hear Chuck Schumer out there
Speaker 4: saying this is reckless. The American people and the Venezuelan
Speaker 4: people should be in fear. But this is something that
Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer has long advocated for Senator Chris van Holland.
Speaker 4: Same thing had said that the United States is going
Speaker 4: to use its leverage and influence to push for negotiations
Speaker 4: to transition to the truly elected leader. This was under
Speaker 4: President Biden. We know Maduro and his cronies don't want
Speaker 4: to go quietly into the night. The US needs to
Speaker 4: work to ratchet up the pressure now. Senator Holland says
Speaker 4: it's an illegal act of war to get rid of
Speaker 4: of Nicholas Maduro. So the hypocrisy is really astounding here,
Speaker 4: and thank you for giving me an opportunity to point
Speaker 4: it out with Kaylea, I.
Speaker 6: Mean sorry, go ahead, Yes, the reports that the administration
Speaker 6: is demanding that Venezuela cut ties with China Russia, I
Speaker 6: ran in Cuba.
Speaker 4: Can you confirm I'm sorry it reports that the administration
Speaker 4: has essentially demanded that Venezuela cut.
Speaker 5: Ties with China Russia. I ran in Cuba. Can you
Speaker 5: confirm that?
Speaker 4: Well, those alleged demands were made in a classified briefing
Speaker 4: by Secretary Rubio, and I know that there's a lot
Speaker 4: of leaks coming out of these classified briefings, so I'm
Speaker 4: not going to confirm or deny or get into what
Speaker 4: the Secretary has set in classified settings to members of Congress.
Speaker 4: But I think that the administration has made it quite
Speaker 4: clear to the interim authorities in Venezuela that this is
Speaker 4: the Western Hemisphere and American dominance is going to continue
Speaker 4: under this president.
Speaker 7: Aska.
Speaker 13: There have also been reports that the US could potentially
Speaker 13: by Greenland is as one potential option on the table.
Speaker 5: What would such an offer look like?
Speaker 13: Is there anything monetarily you could provide a details there.
Speaker 4: Well, that's something that's currently being actively discussed by the
Speaker 4: President and his national security team. And I would point
Speaker 4: out that the acquisition of Greenland by the United States
Speaker 4: is not a new idea. This is something that presidents
Speaker 4: dating back to the eighteen hundreds have said is advantageous
Speaker 4: for America's national security. The President has been very open
Speaker 4: and clear with all of you and with the world
Speaker 4: that he've used it in the best interests of the
Speaker 4: United States to deter Russian and Chinese aggression in the
Speaker 4: Arctic region. And so that's why his team is currently
Speaker 4: talking about what a potential purchase would look like.
Speaker 14: Chucky here, I.
Speaker 13: Thought about Greenland, why not rule out taking it by
Speaker 13: military force?
Speaker 4: I know that past presidents and past leaders have often
Speaker 4: ruled things out. They've often been very open about ruling
Speaker 4: things in and basically broadcasting their foreign policy strategy to
Speaker 4: the rest of the world, not just to our allies,
Speaker 4: but most egregious to our adversaries. That's not something this
Speaker 4: president does. All options are always on the table for
Speaker 4: President Trump as he examines what's in the best interests
Speaker 4: of the United States.
Speaker 5: But I will just.
Speaker 4: Say that the president's first option always has been diplomacy. Again,
Speaker 4: look at Venezuela. He tried ardently to strike a good
Speaker 4: deal with Nicholas Maduro, and he told him, I will
Speaker 4: use the United States military and you will not like
Speaker 4: it if you don't take such a deal.
Speaker 5: And look at what happened with respect to Iran.
Speaker 4: The President said the same thing, right, he try to
Speaker 4: have serious interest and then a deal with the Iranian
Speaker 4: regime with respect to their nuclear capabilities. They were not interested,
Speaker 4: and so Operation Midnight Hammer happened, which was another remarkable
Speaker 4: military success under the leadership of this commander in chief.
Speaker 4: So the president keeps his options open, but diplomacy is
Speaker 4: always the first.
Speaker 15: Quickly, just one additional call uponment does the President recognize
Speaker 15: Denmark's ownership as part of the Kingdom because there been
Speaker 15: some Republican senators questioning, you know, the claim that Denmark
Speaker 15: has to Greenland. Is the President in that camp with them,
Speaker 15: you know, questioning.
Speaker 4: The legality of I have not heard him question it personally,
Speaker 4: but you're welcome to ask him yourself next time you
Speaker 4: have the chance.
Speaker 5: Thank andans lifted for Venezuela.
Speaker 15: We got to lift some sanctions to let the oil
Speaker 15: come in.
Speaker 5: Can you talk about that just very brief.
Speaker 4: Yeah, So the US is selectively rolling back sanctions to
Speaker 4: enable the transport and the sale of Venezuelan crude and
Speaker 4: oil products to the global markets.
Speaker 3: Yes, everybody, This is Andrew Colvet, executive producer of the
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk Show. Burna is proud to continue supporting Charlie
Speaker 3: Kirk's mission and the important work of turning Point USA
Speaker 3: because empowering Americans to defend their freedoms begins with protecting themselves,
Speaker 3: their families, and their communities. The Burna les lethal launcher
Speaker 3: looks like a firearm, but it isn't one. It fires powerful, chemical,
Speaker 3: irritant and kinetic projectiles that can stop a threat in
Speaker 3: its tracks. Giving you the time and space you need
Speaker 3: to get to safety. And now you can hear from
Speaker 3: Charlie in.
Speaker 2: His own words.
Speaker 1: Burna is about preventing tragedy and preserving life without the
Speaker 1: consequences of using lethal measures. It's legal in all fifty states,
Speaker 1: requires no background checks, and over five hundred thousand units
Speaker 1: are in the hands of responsible citizens and law enforcement.
Speaker 1: Burna can be shipped directly to your door. I've personally
Speaker 1: tested the burn A pistol and can vouch for its
Speaker 1: effectiveness and its ease of use.
Speaker 2: Be prepared, be confident, be safe.
Speaker 3: Go to Berna b y r na dot com, that's
Speaker 3: Burna dot com and see why tens of thousands of
Speaker 3: Americans are choosing Berna for peace of mind.
Speaker 5: Caroly Annie, thank you.
Speaker 16: There are some reports from Venezuela that the country's leaders
Speaker 16: are cracking down on the population, specifically suppressing public expression
Speaker 16: of support from Maduro's ouster.
Speaker 10: Is that kind of behavior consistent with what the president
Speaker 10: wants to see how the president wants to see the
Speaker 10: leaders to take on the population.
Speaker 5: It would not be consistent.
Speaker 4: And I'll let the present and it's national security team
Speaker 4: speak further on that. I know they are well aware
Speaker 4: and tracking.
Speaker 5: Kelly.
Speaker 8: Two questions, One on the c's vestments, the villa of
Speaker 8: the Sofia. Can you tell us where they're headed, what
Speaker 8: happens to any existing cargo, and you reference personnel but
Speaker 8: potentially facing the prosecution.
Speaker 17: That's one thing I'd like.
Speaker 5: Yes, And on the Bela yes, okay.
Speaker 18: And on Anny's question, if I can also ask, does
Speaker 18: the administration believe that the interim regime should release all
Speaker 18: political dissidents and prisoners and return to tainted Americans.
Speaker 4: That's not a question that I've personally spoken about the
Speaker 4: to the President with so I will let him answer
Speaker 4: that question. I don't want to make new policy at
Speaker 4: this podium today with respect to Venezuela. With respect to
Speaker 4: the two ships that you mentioned, I spoke with you
Speaker 4: about the Bella one. There was another vessel this morning,
Speaker 4: the Sofia, that, in coordination with the Department of War
Speaker 4: the Department of Homeland Security apprehended it. This is a
Speaker 4: stateless sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker and this occurred without incident.
Speaker 4: This vessel was operating in international waters and conducting illicit
Speaker 4: activities in the Caribbean Sea. The US Coast Guard is
Speaker 4: is escorting the SOFIA to the United States for final disposition.
Speaker 4: To answer your question, Kelly directly, this was through Operation
Speaker 4: Southern Sphere. The Department of War is unwavering in its
Speaker 4: mission to crush illicit activity in the Western Hemisphere, and
Speaker 4: as the President has repeatedly stated, We're going to defend
Speaker 4: our homeland and restore security and strength across the Americas.
Speaker 5: Dasha, Sasha Caurerlin, thank you and having me here. Thanks
Speaker 5: to you too.
Speaker 16: The questions one on Venezuela, one on Greenland. You repeatedly
Speaker 16: a podium called the current leadership in Venezuela interim leadership.
Speaker 16: There are Republicans and Democrats alike that say they want
Speaker 16: to see elections in Venezuela. The President has said it's
Speaker 16: too soon to do that right now. But is there
Speaker 16: a timeline for elections in Venezuela as he committed to
Speaker 16: seeing that year for example, you.
Speaker 5: Just said, the President has answered that question.
Speaker 4: So I will reiterate what the President has said a
Speaker 4: few times now to all of you, which is that
Speaker 4: it's too prematurture and too early to dictate a timetable
Speaker 4: for elections in Venezuela right now.
Speaker 16: Carolyn Carolina, You've just talked to Jackie about diplomacy first, right,
Speaker 16: The Days have repeatedly said they are willing to collaborate
Speaker 16: on all of the concerns that the President has, whether
Speaker 16: it's more truths, mineral rights, intelligence sharing. Why does the
Speaker 16: president feel he needs to own Greenland and not and
Speaker 16: put out the threat of military action when this could
Speaker 16: be done through diplomacy.
Speaker 4: Well, who said diplomacy isn't taking place behind the scenes, Stash.
Speaker 4: I mean the President is interested in diplomacy. The National
Speaker 4: Security team is as well, and of course he's always
Speaker 4: willing to pick up the phone for everybody and hear
Speaker 4: out their concerns. But the president is the president of
Speaker 4: the United States of America, and he's always going to
Speaker 4: be very clear about what he's views as being in
Speaker 4: our nation's best interest.
Speaker 19: Reagan, Thanks, Caroline, I have a quessure for you in Venezuela,
Speaker 19: and then I'd love to ask you about Minnesota and
Speaker 19: Tim Walls.
Speaker 16: Sure.
Speaker 19: On Venezuela, I'm wondering does the administration hope to start
Speaker 19: sending more Venezuelan migrants back home or have them self,
Speaker 19: or if the situation of the country and groups.
Speaker 4: As far as I'm concerned, the policies of the Trump
Speaker 4: administration and the Department of Homeland Security have not changed.
Speaker 4: All those illegally present in the country are subject to deportation.
Speaker 5: And I would just like to add how we got here.
Speaker 4: The President was very clear on the campaign to the
Speaker 4: American public, and it's one of the many reasons they
Speaker 4: resoundingly re elected him back to this office that he
Speaker 4: was not only going to crush foreign drug cartels, but
Speaker 4: that he was not going to stand by and watch
Speaker 4: as the illegitimate Venezuelan regime was sending illegal criminals and
Speaker 4: gang members and rapists and murderers to our country, which
Speaker 4: happened to the tune of thousands under the previous administration.
Speaker 4: In president and so there could be nothing more America
Speaker 4: First than this operation.
Speaker 5: That took place last week.
Speaker 4: And I would just remind all of you in this
Speaker 4: room that there were innocent Americans like Jocelyn Nungere who
Speaker 4: lost their lives at the hands of dangerous Venezuelan criminals
Speaker 4: who were sent here by the Maduro regime. And that
Speaker 4: has been the President's north star and guiding principle throughout
Speaker 4: his entire policy since January twentieth Minnesota.
Speaker 19: Does the administration believe that Tim Walls potentially dropped out
Speaker 19: of the governor's race because he could be under criminal investigation.
Speaker 5: I don't know if there's a criminal investigation.
Speaker 4: If there was, I wouldn't be able to comment on
Speaker 4: it from up here, to be honest with you, but
Speaker 4: I think Tim Walls probably dropped out of the race
Speaker 4: because he realizes he no longer has the support of
Speaker 4: the people of his own state, which is a remarkable
Speaker 4: downfall considering he was the number two on the Democrat
Speaker 4: Party's ticket just about a year ago. When it comes
Speaker 4: to Minnesota, the fraud that we have seen, the wide
Speaker 4: scale of fraud is really remarkable.
Speaker 5: It's egregious.
Speaker 4: I would encurcourage every single journalist in this room to
Speaker 4: go to Minnesota and to cover it yourselves. As for
Speaker 4: the Trump administration, we have officials who have been on
Speaker 4: the ground almost every day. Secretary Nome was there yesterday.
Speaker 4: Secretary Bessant will be traveling there later this week to
Speaker 4: talk about the fraud and to do a roundtable on
Speaker 4: this very topic.
Speaker 5: And I would just like to leave you with an update.
Speaker 4: To date, the Department of Justice has charged ninety eight
Speaker 4: total defendants in several Medicaid fraud and related case programs.
Speaker 4: Sixty four were convicted and eighty five of the ninety
Speaker 4: eight charged were of Somali descent. The DOJ has also
Speaker 4: issued over seventeen thousand, seventeen hundred subpoenas, executed over one
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty search warrants, and they have now added
Speaker 4: more attorneys to their office there to absorb the case flow.
Speaker 5: DHS is on the.
Speaker 4: Ground going door to door conducting large scale criminal and
Speaker 4: HSI investigations. They have also sent approximately two thousand agents
Speaker 4: to Minneapolis to assist with law enforcement and immigration enforcement.
Speaker 4: As I said, Secretary Nome was on the ground yesterday.
Speaker 4: The Department of Health and Human Services has also begun
Speaker 4: requiring a justification and photo evidence for all childcare related
Speaker 4: payments nationwide, and they required Minnesota to conduct a full
Speaker 4: audit of all childcare centers. They also froze one hundred
Speaker 4: and eighty five million dollars in funding to Minnesota, and
Speaker 4: doctor Oz who was just here, also notified Governor Walls
Speaker 4: they're going to begin auditing Medicaid recipients and deferring payments
Speaker 4: on claims based on waste fraud and abuse. The Department
Speaker 4: of Labor is also conducting a targeted review of Minnesota's
Speaker 4: unemployment program, Department of Agriculture requiring Minnesota to conduct recertification
Speaker 4: for SNAP recipients, and HUD has launched investigations into the
Speaker 4: public housing SBA has also suspended nearly seven thousand borrowers
Speaker 4: amid suspected fraudulent activity. So, with all of that rest assured,
Speaker 4: this is an all hands on deck effort from the
Speaker 4: entire administration to get to the bottom of this and
Speaker 4: ensure that they're ripping off of taxpayers in the state
Speaker 4: of Minnesota. And it won't just be Minnesota, It'll be
Speaker 4: any state across this country where fraud has taken place
Speaker 4: and we are protecting law abiding tax pays American citizens.
Speaker 5: Phil La you, Caroline.
Speaker 20: Just to follow up on Greenland, there are treaties already
Speaker 20: on the books that give the United States access to
Speaker 20: the island. They can construct and maintain military bases there,
Speaker 20: we can house personnel on the island, the USS control
Speaker 20: of landings, takeoffs.
Speaker 5: Anchorages, etc.
Speaker 20: So I'm curious if you could just spell out for
Speaker 20: the American public what specifically would the US gain by
Speaker 20: taking control of Greenland that the US doesn't already.
Speaker 4: Have access to right now, more control over the Arctic region,
Speaker 4: and ensuring that China and Russia, in our adversaries, cannot
Speaker 4: continue their aggression in this very important and strategic region.
Speaker 4: And there would be many other benefits as well, that
Speaker 4: again the President and his national security team are currently
Speaker 4: talking about.
Speaker 5: Jeff, I'll give you another.
Speaker 1: One abroad first, and that question on warn Rossey.
Speaker 21: Are you concerned about increasing tensions with Russia because of
Speaker 21: the tanker seizures and how does the US action in
Speaker 21: Venezuela impact the ongoing relationship with China and the President's
Speaker 21: relationship with President she.
Speaker 4: I think the President has very open, honest and good
Speaker 4: relationships with both President Putin and Russia, and also President
Speaker 4: she of China. He has spoken with them numerous times,
Speaker 4: as you know, since coming to office about a year ago,
Speaker 4: and I believe that those personal relationships.
Speaker 5: Are going to continue.
Speaker 4: But as for the President and the United States, he's
Speaker 4: going to enforce our policy that's best for the United
Speaker 4: States of America, and with respect to these ships seizers,
Speaker 4: that means enforcing the embargo against all dark fleet vessels
Speaker 4: that are illegally transporting oil and only legitimate commerce. To
Speaker 4: answer your question much earlier, Rachel, determined by the United
Speaker 4: States is going to be permitted, and that's the policy
Speaker 4: of this administration, and he's not afraid to implement.
Speaker 5: Last one.
Speaker 14: I remember the.
Speaker 21: Cleric here the alien of his term if he was
Speaker 21: committed to Article five and NATO, and he said yes.
Speaker 21: Has his stance on NATO or his commitment to NATO changed?
Speaker 4: Did you see his statement earlier today? He said, we
Speaker 4: will always be there for NATO, even if they are
Speaker 4: not there for us. And I think that answers your
Speaker 4: question directly.
Speaker 7: Yes.
Speaker 10: Just to follow up on what I'm saying, their lobly
Speaker 10: blessing to commit that if any Native members are attacked in.
Speaker 4: The United States with future Again, the President addressed this
Speaker 4: directly himself this morning after seeing the coverage from all
Speaker 4: of you in this room on television, and he made
Speaker 4: it very clear, We're always going to be there for
Speaker 4: NATO even if they have not done right.
Speaker 5: By the United States of America, and they have not.
Speaker 4: They have finally increased their defense spending at the.
Speaker 5: Request of this president. But it was only because of
Speaker 5: this president that they did that. To take a couple four. Michael,
Speaker 5: go ahead, New York.
Speaker 2: Congratulations, thanks you.
Speaker 22: Questions one on healthcare, one on Mexico. On healthcare, the
Speaker 22: President says he wants Republicans to be flexible on the
Speaker 22: High Amendment in order to ask healthcare legislation. What is
Speaker 22: the White House's message to pro life voters who say
Speaker 22: federal funding for abortion goes against their values.
Speaker 4: Well, the President did not change the administration's policy. It
Speaker 4: was President Trump who signed an executive order protecting the
Speaker 4: High Amendment. It's the Trump administration that has taken multiple
Speaker 4: actions on various fronts to ensure that taxpayer dollars are
Speaker 4: not funding the.
Speaker 5: Practice of abortion.
Speaker 4: What the President was saying yesterday was Republicans and frankly
Speaker 4: Democrats too, need to show a little bit more flexibility
Speaker 4: so we can actually get something done with respect to
Speaker 4: the issue of healthcare.
Speaker 5: Republicans have amazing ideas.
Speaker 4: The President himself, as we spoke about earlier, has launched
Speaker 4: this Most Favored Nation Drug Pricing initiative, has cut good
Speaker 4: deals with big pharma. He wants to see Republicans and
Speaker 4: Democrats too, if they're willing codify those executive orders into
Speaker 4: law so that these good deals can remain and these
Speaker 4: prices can continue to be lowered long after this president
Speaker 4: and this deal maker in chief is gone. President's talked
Speaker 4: a lot about health savings accounts and giving more money
Speaker 4: back to the healthcare consumer rather than to these giant
Speaker 4: insurance companies, and he's been very outspoken and tough on
Speaker 4: them too, and I think you'll see more and hear
Speaker 4: more from him directly on that issue. So he wants
Speaker 4: to see Congress get something done with respect to healthcare.
Speaker 5: And that was the point that he was driving home yesterday.
Speaker 22: So Goline, President Trump says, the drug cartels are running Mexico.
Speaker 14: What action does.
Speaker 22: He need to see Mexico's President, Claudia scheinbamb take to
Speaker 22: prove that she's in control of that country, in control
Speaker 22: of those hotels, And does the White House believe she's
Speaker 22: able to do that without US intervention?
Speaker 4: Look, I think the President was speaking very candidly and
Speaker 4: frankly about the reality on the ground in Mexico.
Speaker 5: Hayley jar and happy to the year.
Speaker 13: I want to say too, about this ceased tanker with
Speaker 13: bella horse. Before this that Russia had sent a submarine
Speaker 13: to the sport. It was there any engagement with that submarine,
Speaker 13: and then was the deconfliction align with Russian used ahead
Speaker 13: of forty and a half.
Speaker 4: Again, this was a Venezuelan shadow flea vessel that has
Speaker 4: transported sanctioned oil. The vessel was deemed stateless after flying
Speaker 4: a false flag and it had a judicial seizure order
Speaker 4: and that's why the crew will be subject to prosecution.
Speaker 6: Mary Columbia, the President talking weeks, I will be open
Speaker 6: for an operation there, sure, the President of Columbia, the
Speaker 6: expecting golf.
Speaker 5: Course and time too, and I want to be on California.
Speaker 4: That would be a very unwise question for me to
Speaker 4: answer to way into what's your next question in California?
Speaker 19: Can you share any more about the broad investigation?
Speaker 5: And the President send them there Westland.
Speaker 19: Who's being investigated and.
Speaker 5: Where's it sturning?
Speaker 4: Again, this is going to be a all hands on
Speaker 4: deck government wide effort. The President has directed all agencies
Speaker 4: across the board to look at federal spending programs in
Speaker 4: not just Minnesota, but also in the state of California,
Speaker 4: to identify fraud and to prosecute to the fullest extent
Speaker 4: of the law all.
Speaker 5: Those who have committed it. We take one more sure, Thank.
Speaker 23: You, Carolyn. Yesterday was the five year anniversary of January sixth.
Speaker 23: Democrats and mainstream media continued to push their big lie
Speaker 23: that it was an insurrection and that police officers died
Speaker 23: that day. The reality is that four Trump supporters died
Speaker 23: on January sixth, and two women were killed by January
Speaker 23: sixth police. Everybody knows Ashley Babbitt was shot in cold
Speaker 23: blood by Capitol police officer Michael Byrd, But there was
Speaker 23: another woman. Her name was Roseanne Boylan from Georgia, and
Speaker 23: she was peppable to gas and ultimately bruly beaten with
Speaker 23: a stick by January six police officer Lila Morris. The
Speaker 23: Biden administration and mainstream media lied and told Americans Roseanne
Speaker 23: Boylan died of overdoes on Capital steps. Her family is
Speaker 23: now asking for an investigation. Is the administration aware of
Speaker 23: the circumstances of her death and will there be an investigation?
Speaker 4: Finally, well, for an investigation, I will have to defer
Speaker 4: you to either the FBI or the Department of Justice,
Speaker 4: and I'm sorry to have to do that, but with
Speaker 4: respect to all of the facts that you just laid out,
Speaker 4: The White House relished the opportunity yesterday to actually create
Speaker 4: a new website to share the fact with the American public,
Speaker 4: but also all those.
Speaker 5: In this room.
Speaker 4: We knew the media would be covering January sixth quite
Speaker 4: a bit because they think it's something that the American
Speaker 4: people are still believing their lies on. They think it's
Speaker 4: something that still helps their case against this president. Obviously
Speaker 4: not or else he wouldn't have been re elected in
Speaker 4: an overwhelming fashion in November of last year. And so
Speaker 4: I would encourage everyone to take a look at the website.
Speaker 4: It's quite well done, and thank you all very much.
Speaker 5: It's great to be back with you.
Speaker 16: Thank you.
Speaker 3: Massive amount of breaking news there. It was the first
Speaker 3: White House press briefing that Caroline has done since the Maduro.
Speaker 3: I guess you would call it attack a seizure deposition. Also,
Speaker 3: we've got two tankers that have been basically apprehended boarded
Speaker 3: by US military. A lot of questions about that. My
Speaker 3: pillow wants to say a heartfelt thank you to our

Speaker 3: of Florida. It's good to have you back. Senator how
Speaker 3: have you been.
Speaker 14: I've been great. Happy New Year, Andrew. It's going to
Speaker 14: be a great year.
Speaker 3: I've never been so ready to turn the calendar over
Speaker 3: to the next year. I will tell you twenty twenty
Speaker 3: five was a absolute doozy. But there is so much
Speaker 3: breaking news here, Senator. You know, there's Greenland. There was
Speaker 3: a shooting that I want to actually inform our audience
Speaker 3: about involving an ICE officer in Minneapolis. As you know,
Speaker 3: we've been surging ICE DHS personnel over two thousand on
Speaker 3: the streets of Minneapolis and Saint Paul, massive, massive reaction
Speaker 3: from the federal government. It appears that it was a
Speaker 3: ramming and a shooting. This is breaking news, a ramming
Speaker 3: and a shooting. So a lot of times the citizen activists,
Speaker 3: these volunteers on the left, they will follow around ICE
Speaker 3: vehicles trying to alert the public, and sometimes they ram them,
Speaker 3: and sometimes they try and get in their way. Sometimes
Speaker 3: they play fast and loose with their own vehicle. It
Speaker 3: appears initial indications, we're waiting for more information here, that
Speaker 3: that's what this was. But Senator, let's start there. There
Speaker 3: was a House Oversight Committee hearing on the Somali fraud
Speaker 3: and the complicity within the local politicians there covering it up.
Speaker 3: Maybe they were getting political kickbacks. What's your take of it.
Speaker 3: You have run the state of Florida, You know these processes,
Speaker 3: you know how the bureaucracies work.
Speaker 2: What's your reaction.
Speaker 14: Well, I'm not surprised. Number One. When I became governor
Speaker 14: of Florida January twenty eleventh, I saw going agency by agency. Now,
Speaker 14: my background is I'm a business guy, and in business,
Speaker 14: you don't waste your money, right, and you solve your
Speaker 14: customer's needs. They don't want to pay you a little
Speaker 14: extra money because you wasted money or did stupid things.
Speaker 14: So what I watched agency by agency, there would be
Speaker 14: they wouldn't worry about fraud against the agency, They wouldn't
Speaker 14: worry about improper payments. They look as free money. The
Speaker 14: way is the way. So many people looked at it.
Speaker 14: So I went agency by agency and fix it. Then
Speaker 14: we got all this free federal money. It's free, by
Speaker 14: the way. The attitude that many governors have is if
Speaker 14: the federal government's paying for it up, it's free. Didn't
Speaker 14: cost you anything, right, And so I watched it like
Speaker 14: after a hurricane. People would say, well, if we just
Speaker 14: got to, you know, we can go get all this
Speaker 14: free federal money. So I watched unbelievable fraud attempts with
Speaker 14: regard to debris pick up after hurricanes. But that's just
Speaker 14: the tip of the iceberg. Every government program, and especially
Speaker 14: federal programs, the oversight is pathetic, it's horrible. We have studies,
Speaker 14: We know that there's you know, hundreds of billions of
Speaker 14: dollars of fraud. We know there's tens of billions of
Speaker 14: dollars worth of improper payments and we don't get the
Speaker 14: money back right, and then we know, we know people
Speaker 14: lie cheating steel, and we we're just sitting there and
Speaker 14: people say, well, it's it's free. Why do you worry
Speaker 14: so much about this, Well, we should worry about it
Speaker 14: because thirty eight and a half thirty dollars worth of debt.
Speaker 14: Your interest rates are too high because of that, you're
Speaker 14: the inflation is caused by all this wasteful spending. And
Speaker 14: it's not fair. It's not fair. The hard working the
Speaker 14: kid that's out there or family that's out there busting
Speaker 14: their butt every day. And then somebody else doesn't want
Speaker 14: to work, so they take advantage of a state government,
Speaker 14: a local government, a federal government. It's wrong.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it keeps getting worse the deeper this
Speaker 3: rabbit hole goes. Senator, it looks like, you know, Keith Ellison,
Speaker 3: there was a leaked tape released of him that he
Speaker 3: was basically, you know, said he was going to cover
Speaker 3: up for these Somalis if they kind of gave them
Speaker 3: political kickbacks, and he was gonna they were gonna run
Speaker 3: cover for them. There's multiple questions here. I'm going to
Speaker 3: play David Marcus from Fox News. He had a great
Speaker 3: take on it on to get your reaction to it,
Speaker 3: because we had Senator Ron Johnson on the show yesterday.
Speaker 3: I know a friend and colleague of yours in the
Speaker 3: Senate who said that these were these systems are designed
Speaker 3: to fail, They're designed to be looted. They're designed to
Speaker 3: have wealth extracted from working class Americans, from the white man,
Speaker 3: however you want to look at it, to be given
Speaker 3: to marginalized communities. I thought David Marcus made an incredible
Speaker 3: point here at two forty five.
Speaker 24: This is not standard Tammany Hall patronage and kickbacks, right,
Speaker 24: We've always had that that was meant to keep people
Speaker 24: in power, that was not meant to be a massive
Speaker 24: redistribution of wealth. What we're seeing here is a massive
Speaker 24: redistribution of wealth when these blue states allocate billions of
Speaker 24: dollars for marginalized communities and then fail to put in
Speaker 24: place any safeguards to stop theft. That's Marxism by fraud.
Speaker 24: That's taking money from corporations, from rich people, saying we're
Speaker 24: going to send it over here, We're not going to
Speaker 24: pay any attention to what's happening to it.
Speaker 3: That line sticks with me. This is Marxism by fraud.
Speaker 3: Is this intentional? Is this in a blue state, in
Speaker 3: a blue setting?
Speaker 2: Is this?
Speaker 3: Is this the outgrowth of a really sick ideology that
Speaker 3: is based on racial grievances, that's based on systemic oppression,
Speaker 3: that's based on cr TEA, all of these ideologies.
Speaker 2: Is it intentionally lacking oversight?
Speaker 14: Oh? Absolutely? I mean, think about this, is the most
Speaker 14: of the taxes are paid by hard working middle class Americans.
Speaker 14: That's who's paying most of the taxes in this country. Right.
Speaker 14: It's taking their money and giving it to somebody else.
Speaker 14: And then their goal is the politicians that give all
Speaker 14: this away, Oh vote vote for them, because they're giving
Speaker 14: you something for free because it's it's free Andrew that
Speaker 14: doesn't cost anything, so absolutely. I mean, let me tell
Speaker 14: you a quick story. I became governor of Florida. I
Speaker 14: ran my whole campaign in twenty ten on jobs. I
Speaker 14: go to the agency that doesn't employment. Right after I won,
Speaker 14: I said, how's unemployment work? They said, well, you have to,
Speaker 14: I said, She said, we're open six days a week
Speaker 14: because unemployed freulians don't have enough time to apply during
Speaker 14: the week. Really, I said, if you get unemployment, if
Speaker 14: they do anything. They said, yeah, apply forf to fly
Speaker 14: for five jobs a week. I said, you enforce that? Well, no,
Speaker 14: I said, I said, so, I said, if you somebody
Speaker 14: was on unemployment and you found them have a job,
Speaker 14: would you, you know, accuse them of fraud and get
Speaker 14: the money back? Well? No, I said, what's your purpose here?
Speaker 14: Is that our purpose is to give as many people
Speaker 14: on the program as we can, right because we don't,
Speaker 14: you know, because that will feel good? Who cares? It's free?
Speaker 14: By the way, they explained to me that at the time,
Speaker 14: the federal government was paying the excess money. So it's free.
Speaker 14: It's federal money. They don't care, and they think that's
Speaker 14: just how they're going to get elected. And you look,
Speaker 14: I've been up here seven years. Don't they don't you know,
Speaker 14: the people, they don't set up the programs to work.
Speaker 14: They intentionally allow it to be allowed, the fraud. And
Speaker 14: then we have earmarks that waste money. We have programs
Speaker 14: that have no account But when I was governor of Florida,
Speaker 14: four thousand lines of the budget, every line had a
Speaker 14: written purpose. If you didn't meet your purpose, I vetoed
Speaker 14: your money. We can't even I mean it's hard to
Speaker 14: even get a copy of the budget up here, let
Speaker 14: alone is there a purpose. So so we've got to
Speaker 14: get to the bottom of this. This is unfair, it's
Speaker 14: un American, it's infurious.
Speaker 25: Has got to Senator Scott. We have to get to
Speaker 25: the bottom of this. But it strikes me that the
Speaker 25: most immediate pressing thing. We're not going to get Minnesota
Speaker 25: to reform itself unless we can have a revolution in
Speaker 25: their state government. But we've tried several times. We're not
Speaker 25: going to get washed. Certainly, we're not going to flip Washington.
Speaker 25: We're not going to flip fraud in California anytime soon.
Speaker 25: It's what's the step I guess, first of all, what
Speaker 25: could the administration do to have immediate accountability for this?
Speaker 25: Not just in terms of arresting perpetrators, but I think
Speaker 25: a lot of people are asking, Okay, we know the
Speaker 25: fraud is there.
Speaker 2: Can we bring a.
Speaker 25: Stop to it in a quick way, even if that's
Speaker 25: something as simple as saying Minnesota doesn't get money anymore?
Speaker 2: Yeah, well that's kind of some of it.
Speaker 14: Yeah, so right now, one thing they should be doing,
Speaker 14: and they're focused on it. If you talk to Brooke
Speaker 14: Rollins or you've talked to Membina, as you talk to them,
Speaker 14: you know they're going through program by program and they're
Speaker 14: gonna they're gonna do everything they can't. That's number one.
Speaker 14: Number two is we've got it. We've got in Congress.
Speaker 14: We've got to pass measures to stop the fraud and
Speaker 14: make sure when we pass things it doesn't allow the
Speaker 14: fraud to happen. So, so what you know, people like
Speaker 14: Ron Johnson and Mike Lee and Cynthia lummis I are doing.
Speaker 14: We keep coming up with ideas of how do you
Speaker 14: stop the waste.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 14: Part of it is stop the earmarks. Part of it
Speaker 14: is don't have programs that have no accountability. That's part
Speaker 14: of it. And then the other part is let's make
Speaker 14: sure that the you know, executive branch has the ability
Speaker 14: to stop it. And then we need to be doing investigations.
Speaker 14: We need to do real investigations of of the of
Speaker 14: of you know, each of these programs. I've been think,
Speaker 14: I think about I've said for seven years that all
Speaker 14: this fraud with regard to Tobre pick up, and I
Speaker 14: can't get the Democrats to help me. I'm on the right,
Speaker 14: I'm on the right committee, but I have to have
Speaker 14: Democrat votes to get this done, to fix the UN
Speaker 14: the labal fraud, and to repick up after hurricanes.
Speaker 3: Jeez, they don't want to do it, Senator, they don't care.
Speaker 3: I'm just I wonder if you're going to get maybe
Speaker 3: a John fetterman if in the Senate, if there's laws
Speaker 3: that need to be changed, is there? You know, there's
Speaker 3: too little time here. And I actually have to ask
Speaker 3: you about Greenland. I had no idea you spoke with
Speaker 3: representatives from Greenland as much as you did fifty nine.
Speaker 14: Denmark is a great ally and I know every time
Speaker 14: I talk to them, I talk to their ambassad quite
Speaker 14: a bit. They want to work with us, so we'll
Speaker 14: see what happens.
Speaker 2: Sir, all right, Senator, So you know these people, I.
Speaker 14: Know exactly what's going to happen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what is going to happen next? Not let.
Speaker 14: So I don't you know. Look, Denmark is a great ally.
Speaker 14: I talked to their Basslard quite a bit. Jasper is
Speaker 14: a good guy. So I think Trump is trying to
Speaker 14: be strategic. I don't believe we're going to be invading Greenland,
Speaker 14: but I do believe we're going to figure out how
Speaker 14: to work with Greenland to have more military assets on
Speaker 14: there so we can count act what Sean and Rush
Speaker 14: is doing. So something will happen there. You never know exactly.
Speaker 14: You know the process. You know that let's make a deal.
Speaker 14: Guy who's gonna do But something will happen there to
Speaker 14: put us in a better position.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean we're gonna have Pete hag Seth on in
Speaker 3: the second hour, Senator, So we're gonna ask.
Speaker 2: Him about Greenland.
Speaker 3: So and again, audience members, if you have questions, send
Speaker 3: him in Freedom at Charliekirk dot com.
Speaker 2: He sent him a lot.
Speaker 3: They're just they want the Secretary of War is like, Hey,
Speaker 3: any question any question you want.
Speaker 2: So, it's fantastic he'd sent a great job. Yeah, he's doing.
Speaker 3: By the way, he was our most popular UH cabinet
Speaker 3: secretary according to the Amfest Rappel.
Speaker 2: So tells you something, people love it. Yeah.
Speaker 14: I think he's I think he's doing great job. I
Speaker 14: just saw him. We did a class briefing on Venezuela
Speaker 14: just last hour.
Speaker 3: Oh well, shoot, I wish now that you tell me
Speaker 3: that I want to. I wish I could keep you
Speaker 3: for a couple more minutes. Senator, thank you for joining.
Speaker 3: We'll have you on again soon. Thank you so much, sir.
Speaker 14: Oh bye, see you guys, see both of you. By by.

Speaker 3: Blake, there's we got new information. There is a tweet
Speaker 3: here from Trician McLaughlin who was just on the show.
Speaker 3: Actually she said today ice officers in Minneapolis were conducting
Speaker 3: targeted operations, very targeted. There's over two thousand that have
Speaker 3: surged to that area following the Somali fraud ring, basically
Speaker 3: following Nick Shirley's expose, and when riders began blocking ice officers,
Speaker 3: and one of these violent riders weaponized her vehicle attempting
Speaker 3: to run over our law enforcement officers at an attempt
Speaker 3: to kill them, certainly or at least to block them.
Speaker 3: But yes, certainly those things can be fatal, and these
Speaker 3: people lose their minds and they do crazy things, an
Speaker 3: act of domestic terrorism, says Trician McLoughlin. An Ice officer,
Speaker 3: fearing for his life, the lives of his fellow law
Speaker 3: enforcement and the safety of the public, fired defensive shots.
Speaker 3: The alleged perpetrator was hit in his deceased. The Ice
Speaker 3: officer who was hurt are expected to make full recoveries.
Speaker 2: And I totally agree with this.
Speaker 3: By the way which she says next, this is the
Speaker 3: direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers
Speaker 3: by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on
Speaker 3: our law enforcement. These men and women who are simply
Speaker 3: enforcing the law on the books are facing a thirteen
Speaker 3: hundred percent increase in assaults against them in an eight
Speaker 3: thousand percent increase in death threats.
Speaker 2: This is an evolving situations.
Speaker 3: We're giving we will give public more information as soon
Speaker 3: as it becomes.
Speaker 25: And that's the most important part because she says that
Speaker 25: we'll see there's reportedly video, we'll see, we'll get more
Speaker 25: context on what fully happened. But the big picture is this,
Speaker 25: which is the reason ICE has to go around all
Speaker 25: acting like they're basically going to war, is because they're
Speaker 25: treated as an enemy force by these leftern cities, by
Speaker 25: these left wing governments. Their job would be a million
Speaker 25: times easier if they could pluck people out of jails
Speaker 25: like focus on that, get the crisriminals so getting arrested.
Speaker 25: That's happening all the time. They have treated them like criminals.
Speaker 25: They've encouraged violence against them, and they've harassed them. And
Speaker 25: so regardless of how this incident went down, that is
Speaker 25: why it happened and that needs to be the focus. Yeah,
Speaker 25: the blood of this person is on Jacob Fry's hands,
Speaker 25: It's on Governor Tim Wallas's hands, period.
Speaker 3: I totally well said a thousand percent agree. I actually
Speaker 3: like it when we disagree on stuff a little bit
Speaker 3: because it makes for a live I just happened to
Speaker 3: completely agree with what you said. You have to so
Speaker 3: no sob stories here, absolutely not. I have seen video
Speaker 3: after video. There was an instance that really sticks out
Speaker 3: in my mind where I saw a video of this
Speaker 3: guy ramming ice officers in California. They ram him back,
Speaker 3: they stop him and arrest him. He gets released. He
Speaker 3: gets immediately he's an American citizen. So he goes over
Speaker 3: straight to CNN about two hours later cries victim on
Speaker 3: national television. And this is what they do, this is
Speaker 3: their cycle. So you have these vigilantes they call themselves
Speaker 3: it is an activists or whatever, and they're working on
Speaker 3: behalf of illegal immigrants because you know, why get off
Speaker 3: your couch to help American citizens. They want to go
Speaker 3: help the marginalized, right, So then they do this and
Speaker 3: they put lives on the line. They put lives at
Speaker 3: risk of federal law enforcement. And by the way, new
Speaker 3: today ice officers have surpassed their recruiting goals of ten thousand.
Speaker 3: According to one Big Beautiful Bill, they've hired twelve thousand.
Speaker 3: There's twelve thousand new ice officers on the streets of
Speaker 3: the United States. And I want to underscore Blake's point
Speaker 3: here about this the way that it was done. So
Speaker 3: you go back to Obama was called the deporter in Chief.
Speaker 3: Do you realize that eighty percent of those deportations were
Speaker 3: done the old fashioned way? What does that mean? It
Speaker 3: means that an illegal immigrant was arrested, apprehended on the
Speaker 3: streets of his or her you know, invaded city. They
Speaker 3: would go into jail, the local officials would process that person.
Speaker 3: There would be an ICE detainer. They would hand that
Speaker 3: person over to ICE safely, securely. There's no race in
Speaker 3: the streets. There's no DHS, rammings, there's no none of
Speaker 3: that stuff.
Speaker 2: It's secure.
Speaker 3: The person has handcuffs on, they get put on a plane,
Speaker 3: process put back in their country of origin. When sanctuary
Speaker 3: cities and states refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement,
Speaker 3: this is the result. They have to go into the streets,
Speaker 3: do raids, They have to go knock on doors, They
Speaker 3: have to endanger the public in order to do the
Speaker 3: public a good.
Speaker 2: So this is completely Blake's point.
Speaker 3: The blood is on the hand of Jacob Fry, who's,
Speaker 3: by the way, demanding that these ICE agents be removed
Speaker 3: from a city, which is not gonna happen by the
Speaker 3: way and you hear Tom home and saying we're gonna
Speaker 3: double down. We're coming for California, We're coming for Illinois.
Speaker 3: We're coming from New York next so look out. More
Speaker 3: of this is coming is as it should be, and uh,
Speaker 3: you know, just say a prayer for our brave men
Speaker 3: and women of DHS and ICE as they are forced
Speaker 3: to not work in cooperation behind closed doors in safety
Speaker 3: but instead have to go out on the streets and commit,
Speaker 3: you know, conduct raids on businesses and homes and that
Speaker 3: sort of thing. Because this is completely on the head
Speaker 3: and on the hands of local officials. It's absolutely infuriating. Blake,
Speaker 3: we had a kind of related but there was a
Speaker 3: House Oversight Committee hearing, the first of its kind. Some
Speaker 3: explosive allegations were made in this hearing by Republicans in
Speaker 3: the state of Minnesota that were saying they have tried
Speaker 3: to conduct oversight and to deal with the fraud in Minnesota.
Speaker 25: We saw this one viral the other day that there's
Speaker 25: in twenty eighteen, their Inspector General did a whole report,
Speaker 25: or the staff there did a whole thing. It laid
Speaker 25: out exactly how fraud happens. They say they have fake
Speaker 25: groups that come in or associake groups. They have groups
Speaker 25: of like these daycares that come in and say we're
Speaker 25: interested in stopping fraud, but they're really trying to deflect
Speaker 25: investigations away. They had a whistleblower explain this to them.
Speaker 25: They said, we think half of all of our daycare
Speaker 25: money may be going to fraud, if not more, and
Speaker 25: then the Inspector General just buries it.
Speaker 3: Well and get this, they are fabricating documents play cut
Speaker 3: two sixty two.
Speaker 26: According to the non partisan Legislative Auditor, this is another
Speaker 26: case of mismanagement of taxpayer money. But perhaps the most
Speaker 26: explosive revelation is that managers within DHS, the Department of
Speaker 26: Human Services, tried to cover their tracks by backdating and
Speaker 26: creating new.
Speaker 3: Documents backdating, so they're trying to cover their tracks. Other
Speaker 3: testimony from this morning's hearing said that they were blacklisted,
Speaker 3: that it was career suicide to call out fraud. The
Speaker 3: depth of the rot seems to know no end here.
Speaker 3: It's truly stunning, and I think we all knew this
Speaker 3: was going on. We all knew that there was fraud,
Speaker 3: we all knew that it was bloat. But it was
Speaker 3: so amorphous and abstract, and now you're seeing in vivid
Speaker 3: technicolor exactly how it works.
Speaker 2: And they get political.
Speaker 3: Kickbacks, and they get promises for whole communities like the
Speaker 3: Somalis to vote in block for them for reelection.
