Speaker 4: Lots to talk about. Representative Tom Emmer. Good morning, Tom.

9
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 4: How are we doing this morning?

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 5: Sir?

11
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: Doing great?

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 6: John doing great.

13
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 3: It's a good Friday.

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 4: Let's I haven't had a chance to provide any updates

15
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 4: yet on Operation Epic Fury. I want to ask you

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 4: a little bit about this before we talk about the

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 4: committee hearing that took place earlier this week and testimony

18
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 4: from both Attorney General Keith Ellison and Governor Tim Walls.

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 4: But first off, you know we've had a lot of

20
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 4: success with Operation Epic Fury. The President has made it

21
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,400
Speaker 4: known he does not want this to go on a

22
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 4: protracted length of time. I've been incredibly impressed Tom, with

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 4: the leadership, including an especially Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 4: But your thoughts on the operation so far, and how

25
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 4: much knowledge did you expect this to happen when the operation.

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 2: Started last week?

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 3: John, Sorry, I'm walking into the office, so I came

28
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: into a quiet place. Yes, obviously they were. The President

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: makes it clear, and he's been very clear he wants peace.

30
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 6: This is a president of peace.

31
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: But if you are not going to be willing to

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: do what it takes to reach a peaceful existence, then

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: he's going to take action. And he was starting to

34
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 3: build up forces. The Secretary of War and the President

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: were starting to build up our forces, our assets in

36
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 3: the region. Look, this is the chief sponsor of terrorism

37
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: in the world. They have killed more Americans over the

38
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 3: last many years, I think since the early two thousands

39
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 3: than any of the terrorist groups combined. John, I've been

40
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: more than impressed with what they're doing. And it wasn't

41
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: a surprise the President didn't do what he's supposed to do,

42
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: which has advised the Gang of Eight before actually commencing

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 3: this very narrow, very focused military action, which is essentially

44
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: to knock out any offensive capabilities that the chief sponsor

45
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: of terrorism, the awful regime of Atola Committee I could

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 3: inflict on the United States homeland, United States, military installations,

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: any US interests, And you're right, it's been incredibly successful

48
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 3: and Pete Hegseth has proven him to be one heck

49
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: of a leader.

50
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 4: You know, Tom, you obviously know a lot more about

51
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 4: this than I do, being the House Majority Whip. I

52
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: have a clip that I'll share coming up after our

53
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 4: conversation CNN having to admit that Donald Trump is actually

54
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 4: more popular among Republicans now at this point in his

55
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 4: presidency than any other president before him. And for me personally, Tom,

56
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: I'm incredibly proud of our country right now doing the

57
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: right thing relating to Operation Epic Fury, and I want

58
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 4: to tell you, for me, the winning strategy for the

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 4: GOP heading into the midterms is one a successful mission

60
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: with Operation Epic Fury, and then two passing the Save

61
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 4: America Act. I think that one to those two success

62
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 4: stories could be the exactly what the Republicans need to

63
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 4: drive individuals out to vote for the GOP. Coming up

64
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 4: later on this year, your thoughts.

65
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: On that, well, First, I totally agree with you on

66
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: the Republican Party. The polling leaves out something really important.

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 3: I think he's more popular with independent voters or people

68
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: who consider themselves independents that actually decide elections.

69
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 6: I think he's more popular than any president in.

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: Recent memory, including my favorite Ronald Reagan, because he makes decisions,

71
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: he's very clear, he runs on specific things, he makes promises,

72
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: and then he actually takes action to.

73
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,359
Speaker 6: Keep those promises. John, That's what matters.

74
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 3: And when you talk about the Save America Act, this

75
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: thing needs to be law, and it's not about turning

76
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: people out. It's about making sure that our elections are

77
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 3: not only open to everyone, but that they are fair

78
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 3: and honest. It's an integrity measure to make sure only

79
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 3: US citizens who.

80
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 6: Are supposed to be voting are in fact the ones

81
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 6: casting a ballot.

82
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 3: Minnesota has created all kinds of questions by not releasing

83
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,239
Speaker 3: voter data from the last several elections, refusing to provide

84
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,679
Speaker 3: that to the federal government. It just causes people more concerned, John,

85
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 3: with the integrity of the electoral process. They certainly should

86
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 3: be able to release anything and everything unless they have

87
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 3: something to hide. And that's why they Save America Act

88
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: is even more important today than it was yesterday.

89
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 6: John.

90
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 3: So I agree with you that this is a common

91
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 3: sense approach that ninety percent of Americans agree a photo

92
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: identification is a reasonable requirement for someone to cast a ballot.

93
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 4: So we had another House Committee hearing, this time on

94
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 4: Minnesota fraud. Governor Tim Walls and Attorney General Keith Ellison

95
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: both testifying. We played a couple of clips from you yesterday,

96
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 4: Representative Tom Emmer from that committee hearing.

97
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 2: We've talked a lot about this in the past.

98
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 4: I won't go over old old ground regarding how these

99
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: committee hearings are conducted, but I do I do want

100
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 4: to know what are your biggest takeaways and do you

101
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 4: think that the hearing results were or what you were

102
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: looking for and what those congressional members, those GOP members

103
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,239
Speaker 4: of Congress were hoping for earlier this week.

104
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 3: Well, for me, it was an opportunity to try and

105
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 3: get our failed governor, our in company governor, dishonest governor

106
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 3: on the record and our dishonest attorney general on the

107
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 3: record as to when they knew, what they knew, and

108
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: what they did about it. And John it was pretty

109
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 3: interesting that I was asking those questions, and.

110
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 6: I told the chairman right towards the.

111
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 3: End of my questioning that if these guys will not

112
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 3: answer these very important questions when they knew and what

113
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 3: they did about it, then they need to be called

114
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 3: back and imposed under oath.

115
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 6: Very interesting, John.

116
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: After that was done, the Oversight Committee released a bombshell

117
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 3: report but confirms what a lot of us have already

118
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 3: been thinking that Tim Walls and Keith Ellison knew about

119
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 3: them Feeding Our Future fraud for much longer than they claim.

120
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 3: In fact, the Assistant commissioner of the Minnesota Department of

121
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: Education stated that both the governors and the AG's offices

122
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 3: were notified about concerns surrounding Feeding our Future's legitimacy as

123
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 3: early as April of twenty twenty John.

124
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 6: That's a year and a half.

125
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 3: Before Keith Ellison actually offered to help the now convicted

126
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 3: Somali fraudsters in that recorded December twenty twenty one meeting.

127
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 3: That report also reveals more evidence that the Minnesota Department

128
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: of Education was being.

129
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 6: Pressured to continue making payments.

130
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 3: By Keith Ellison at all to Feeding Our Future out

131
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 3: of fear of accusations of racism, something that Ellison fed into.

132
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 6: The meeting during the twenty one meeting with the Somali fraudsters.

133
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 6: And if you want to know how serious.

134
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 3: Democrats are on this fraud issue. John, take a look

135
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: at the report. It's about fifty some pages long. During

136
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 3: those transcribed interviews that are listed or shown in that

137
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: report revealed Republican staff ask questions for over a combined

138
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: total of thirty six hours.

139
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 6: And forty six minutes.

140
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 3: Guess what, Democrat staff just.

141
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 6: A little over three hours.

142
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: It just goes to show you how seriously the Democrat

143
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: Party is taking the fraud crisis in Minnesota.

144
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: Representative Tom Emmer, I know you're busy this morning. I

145
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 4: just want to ask you one more, one more quick question.

146
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: I've already received this from a few individuals today and

147
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: certainly heard a lot when we were covering the hearing

148
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 4: on yesterday's show. But you know a lot of individuals

149
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 4: they see the value in the questioning and the exchanges

150
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 4: being done in committee hearings like this. With what you

151
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: mentioned too, that Ellison and Walls were aware of the

152
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 4: fraud and basically turned to blind eye, Well, what do

153
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: you say to individuals who are of the opinion that

154
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 4: there will be no accountability?

155
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 2: Is there accountability coming for the actions.

156
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 4: Of the DFL leadership because of this fraud here in Minnesota?

157
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 7: On?

158
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Tom?

159
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 3: What and this is the question I get all the time.

160
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: In fact, I've been getting it for years. We're held

161
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 3: to a certain standard out here in Main Street, USA,

162
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: and these elected officials seem to get a double standard. Look,

163
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: Keith Ellison and Tim Walls did exactly what they've been

164
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: doing since Minnesota fraud becoming became a national news story.

165
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 6: They deflect and they deny.

166
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 3: Was I surprised that Ellison refused to answer my questions?

167
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: He's clearly got something to Hi, John, and I agree

168
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: with Minnesota citizens on this, and I do believe there

169
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 3: will be accountability if it is true that he actively

170
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: obstructed the feeding our future fraud investigation in exchange for

171
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 3: campaign donations. This is what Betty McCollum got all flustered

172
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: about at the hearing and now wants to sweep under

173
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: the rug if that's true, and everything right now is

174
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 3: pointing to that, as the audio tape of his December

175
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 3: twenty twenty one meetings sig yes, he not only needs

176
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 3: to be this far, John, Keith Ellison needs to.

177
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 6: Go to jail all right.

178
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 3: People need to be held accountable period.

179
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: Representative Tom Emmer, as always, it's a fantastic to speak

180
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 4: with you. I'm sorry that your weather is making way

181
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 4: for spring, but you and I both know that winner

182
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 4: will be right back around the corner.

Speaker 3: So well, we'll have our three months.

184
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 4: Thank you for the thank you for the time, and

185
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,440

Speaker 4: She's already sitting right across from me corning Grace, Good morning.

190
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: Are you doing this morning? Good welcome to the new studio.

191
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,679
Speaker 8: Oh my gosh, thank you. Yeah, it took me a

192
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 8: minute to find the on button for the mic, but

193
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 8: I got it now.

194
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 4: Well, good to see you and thanks for coming in today.

195
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:47,160

196
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 4: Max Rammer wasn't going to be able to make it in.

197
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 4: Catherine's on her way up as well, and ak Kamara

198
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 4: will be here for those wondering. I do have a

199
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: better chair for Aka over in the corner than last week.

200
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 4: He had to sit almost on the floor last time,

201
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: so I was able to track down on a better share.

202
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 4: There's a lot of people that were curious about it,

203
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: so coming up. I have a wild story. Scott Johnson,

250
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 4: I really need to take advantage of the both of

00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 4: you this morning, and that sounded horrible.

252
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:12,920

Speaker 4: See you guys this morning. Thanks so much for coming in.

256
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 4: How does it feel to be a war? I've been

257
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,599
Speaker 4: curious to ask you guys with Operation Epic Fury, I

258
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 4: don't like to put it like that.

259
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts of, Oh, we we are.

260
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 4: I mean there's war, there's warring going on strike, but

261
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: but but they're lobbying stuff back super successfully.

262
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 3: No.

263
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 4: I do find it really amusing with Operation Epic Fury

264
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 4: that we we do these targeted strikes trying to take

265
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 4: out the tyrannical regime over there, and then the response

266
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 4: from Iran is to basically just attack everybody. Yes, they've

267
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 4: just they've just if you follow any of this or

268
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 4: monitored the situation as I have been doing, have you

269
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 4: has your have your significant others been monitoring the situation?

270
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 7: And I'm kind of the resident situation you're.

271
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,599
Speaker 10: The resident situation monitor. Yeah, I'll sitter like and what

272
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 10: I don't remember what happened. Oh, I was at a

273
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 10: car dealership when this, really I was happened to be

274
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 10: bringing my car in the morning after this really popped off,

275
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 10: and I was there for two.

276
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 7: Hours, like multiple screens.

277
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 10: Practically just monitoring the situation.

278
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 7: So I'm good at that.

279
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 4: I will say, Okay, are you is Hunter monitoring the situation?

280
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 7: I have to be honest.

281
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 8: Hunter is also mentally in Italy right now, I feel

282
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 8: so neither.

283
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 7: Of us are monitoring.

284
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 8: The treating house is undefended and unmonitored.

285
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 4: The only monitoring of any situations is one detailing your

286
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 4: trip to Italy, praying out loud.

287
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 7: I have my priority straight.

288
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 4: I'm sorry situation that we're monitoring right now. No, But

289
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 4: if you aren't monitoring the situation and you just follow

290
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 4: throughout the day, you see that Iran is just like yeah,

291
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 4: we're gonna fire some over at Cutter, or we're gonna

292
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 4: fire some over into a rock and more into Saudi Arabia,

293
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 4: and it's like like avoiding all of of our guys

294
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 4: while we continue to bomb them.

295
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 10: So right, I mean, and overall, I'm kind of I

296
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 10: think I'm mostly happy with it. I obviously, like a

297
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 10: lot of conservatives was, I was very hesitant when I

298
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 10: heard that we were bombing Iran. But I do trust

299
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 10: Donald Trump. I think his foreign policy record is incredible,

300
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 10: and so that's what I have to keep reminding myself.

301
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 10: We don't know yet if it's going to be some

302
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 10: prolonged venture, and I hope it isn't, but so far

303
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 10: it's been extremely successful, So I'm pretty positive about it overall.

304
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 2: I am. I like the resolve.

305
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 4: I mean, that's been my thought from the get go.

306
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 4: You know, the problem one of the biggest issue that

307
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 4: one of the biggest issues that we have with Washington,

308
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: d C. In Congress is the lack of the will

309
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 4: and desire to go and do the right thing, whether

310
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: it is you know, military action like we're taking to

311
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 4: end this regime, to protect our allies, to bring peace

312
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 4: to a region as best we can right whether it's

313
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 4: the resolve to actually go and secure the border after

314
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 4: the four years of President and Joe Biden, the resolve

315
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 4: to continue to deport individuals here, the resolve to remove

316
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 4: people who may not be the best individuals to run

317
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: certain departments. With Christine Noman, we'll talk about this coming up.

318
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 4: It is certainly a shift in mentality over the course

319
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: of presidencies, and even a massive shift.

320
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 2: From Trump's first term.

321
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 4: To be honest, wherein I think he was still new,

322
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 4: a lot of holdovers from the previous administration, and what

323
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 4: we're seeing with Operation Epic Fury, in my opinion, is

324
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: a direct result of him not winning a consecutive second term,

325
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 4: you know, having lost, having the time off, winning again

326
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 4: and knowing I have the opportunity now to do what

327
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: I didn't think I probably was going to be able

328
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 4: to do and have a second term. I need to

329
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 4: take advantage of it, cement my legacy, and that's exactly what.

330
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: He is attempting to go and to go and do.

331
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's a very fair take.

332
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 8: I feel like it's that attitude of finally being empowered

333
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 8: to do the things that should have been done years ago,

334
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 8: whether it's Venezuela or Iran, like someone needed to be

335
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 8: the adult in the situation and go in and just

336
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 8: take out the bad guys in the world.

337
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

338
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 10: I'm a firm believer in peace through strength. I think

339
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 10: a lot of us are. But if you're never strong,

340
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 10: it does doesn't really work. We have to keep our

341
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 10: place in the world as being this strong country that

342
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 10: is willing to strike if need be, and so I

343
00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 10: think this is a pretty good example of it, because

344
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 10: certainly it was well deserved by Iran. Certainly, we have

345
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 10: had a series of weak presidents on foreign policy.

346
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: We have.

347
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 10: I mean, we were handing cash to Iran under Obama.

348
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 10: So look, yeah, let's make a point that we're it's

349
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 10: not like that anymore.

350
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 4: Well, and the last thing I want to say on

351
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 4: this before we move over back to some to some

352
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 4: local issues is and it's something that I said at

353
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 4: the onset of Operation Epic Fury, and that is Trump

354
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 4: is doing this regardless of the electoral calculus, regardless of

355
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 4: the electoral outcome. Right, He's like, he's not looking at

356
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 4: this through lens and there's an argument to be made

357
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 4: that maybe he should. But in my for me personally,

358
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 4: you know, doing the right thing means just going and

359
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 4: doing the right thing and not looking at this through well,

360
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: what is the.

361
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 2: Polling going to be? And how are.

362
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: Democrats going to go and spin this and what does

363
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 4: it mean for the midterms. It's like, you know what,

364
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: I'm very much believe that God is in control. He'll

365
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 4: go and figure that out. But let's go and do

366
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 4: what's right and not look at what the unintended consequences

367
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 4: beyond the actions of what we're doing. From a political

368
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 4: from a political standpoint.

369
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 7: I was thinking that on the way in this morning.

370
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 8: Actually, it feels like he's learned or decided with this

371
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 8: second term that.

372
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 7: You know, Republicans can win, can go.

373
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 8: Up against the institutions in place, whether that's higher ed

374
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 8: or the media or the dear you know, the Democrats,

375
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 8: and they can. You know, going up against these these

376
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 8: institutions of power does not mean you're going to lose,

377
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 8: and it doesn't mean that you're even going to lose

378
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 8: in the court of public opinion with the American people.

379
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 8: Like at a certain point, people stop caring about the

380
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 8: outrage that out from those sources anytime a Republican does anything.

381
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 7: And I think that it's really refreshing.

382
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 8: Again, We've said this throughout all of Trump's presidency to

383
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 8: see that kind of I don't care attitude like you

384
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 8: were saying, I'm going to go in and do the

385
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 8: right thing regardless, and I trust the American people are

386
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 8: going to see the outcomes the effects of that, and

387
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 8: you know, give me some trust and grace along the way.

388
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 11: Yeah.

389
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 10: And I just wish that the senators we have right

390
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 10: now in Congress who are refusing to do something about

391
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 10: the Save Act would have the same kind of resolve.

392
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm a lot of people are blaming.

393
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 10: Trump for that. I don't think there's much to blame Trump.

394
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 10: I think, you know, what is he going to do?

395
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 10: It's the Senators right now that are really refusing to

396
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 10: do what they need to do, and that is what

397
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 10: really grinds my gears.

398
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, we have an issue right now with the Republicans

399
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 4: in the Senate and they need to go and figure

400
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: this out. I told this to Tom. I've said this

401
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: many times on the show. And as a matter of fact,

402
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: before I make this comment, let me play this clip.

403
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 4: I've been holding onto this. This is the CNN having

404
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 4: to admit and I permally believe that it's exactly what

405
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 4: the three of us have been talking about now, that

406
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 4: resolve of President Donald Trump that is leading towards the

407
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 4: positive outlook of Republicans over this administration.

408
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: As CNN was forced to go and admit.

409
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 12: This, Republicans love Donald Trump more than any president's own

410
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 12: party supporters loved them at this particular point. Just take

411
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 12: a look here, okay, own party supporters twenty first century

412
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 12: president's own party approval about at this point the second term,

413
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 12: Bush was at seventy seven percent. Obama was at seventy

414
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 12: seven percent. Look at this, eighty six percent of Republicans

415
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 12: approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at

416
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 12: this point. That is higher than either Obama or Bush

417
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 12: had within their own party at this point. Trump's magic

418
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 12: touch has not seen the war off yet when it

419
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 12: comes to the Republican base, and.

420
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 4: We'll count to the point that you made earlier, that

421
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: will remain as long as this is not a protracted fight.

422
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 4: We as Americans love blowing stuff up. We do. We

423
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 4: like to blow stuff up, and we definitely like it

424
00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 4: when we push back.

425
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: On bullies, especially Republicans.

426
00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 4: And so right now there's a lot of positivity attached

427
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 4: to it as long as this remains precise and there

428
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: is a mission and they succeed with that mission. And

429
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: coupled with that, as I've been saying, you have a

430
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 4: successful Operation Epic Fury, and then you back that up

431
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 4: with the past Save America, you know, the Save America Act.

432
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: That is your winning message for the mid terms later

433
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 4: on this year.

434
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 8: You just have to trust that he at least understands

435
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 8: that Americans want something limited in scope and duration, very targeted,

436
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 8: not a full out war. Just go like I mean again,

437
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 8: like getting Maduro out of Venezuela. Go in, get the

438
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 8: job done, get out, and don't waste American lives over

439
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 8: in another war that.

440
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, that does not have

441
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:38,719
Speaker 7: anything to do with us.

442
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 4: Coming up, Scott Johnson from power Line has a peace

443
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: out and I have some audio to share. The US

444
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 4: attorney and interrogated a contempt hearing over illegal aliens missing property.

445
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 2: Wait until you hear what is.

446
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 4: Being described and what is being used as the missing

447
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 4: property what they say is missing property. It was funny

448
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: because I asked both Caine and Grace if they were

449
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 4: aware of the story, and they were. And immediately Catherine,

450
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 4: you were like, did you mention the the one thing

451
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 4: that was missing?

452
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: I said yes.

453
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 4: We're actually absolutely going to get into that, including speaking

454
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 4: of contempt of court. One as me Murphy might have

455
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 4: actually been in contempt of court. We'll explain. Ak Kamar

Speaker 4: That's it, and hopefully we see that here in Minnesota.

490
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 4: Relating to all the fraud, which we'll get back to shortly.

491
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 4: I want to go here though, power Line blog friend

492
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 4: of the show at Scott Johnson. Haven't had him on

493
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 4: in a while. You need to bring him back on again.

494
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 4: Good guy, He writes this United States Attorney Daniel Rosen,

495
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 4: and he says, my longtime friend, don't look to me

496
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 4: for objectivity. I appreciate Scot Johnson being upfront. He says

497
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 4: he was called to show cause why he should not

498
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 4: be held in contempt of court by Judge Jeffrey Bryan

499
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 4: of the Federal District Court here on Tuesday. Judge Brian's

500
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 4: show cause order is posted online for everybody to see.

501
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 4: You over at power Line and I'll say that I

502
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: have not talked about this all week long. I was

503
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: kind of waiting for everything to play out before I did.

504
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: But the local media has been making so much out

505
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 4: of this. Every single day there is a lead story

506
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 4: about how, oh, Daniel Rosen being hauled into court for

507
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 4: contempt of court, what's going to happen? Judge says, he

508
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 4: is going to take out actions necessary, and I'm like,

509
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm just going to wait to see

510
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 4: how this whole thing plays out.

511
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 7: They got a sketch artist in there.

512
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: Like, he's a oh, come on, did they really.

513
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 7: Yes, they're sketching this every day.

514
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 10: I don't know who's in charge of the sketch person,

515
00:24:58,520 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 10: but what the heck?

516
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 7: He didn't murder. There's somebody didn't do anything wrong.

517
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 4: Well, it's an extension of the Democrat's rampant desire to

518
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 4: perpetuate Operation Metro Surge and to just make as much

519
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 4: out of it as humanly as humanly possible. I mean,

520
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 4: it's borderline ridiculous at this point in time, especially when

521
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 4: you consider that it was all pretty much self inflicted.

522
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 4: If you didn't have everybody, as I've said this so

523
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 4: many times, if you didn't have people out on the

524
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 4: streets obstructing, if they were just observing what Ice was doing.

525
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: Fine, but that wasn't what happened. We all know that

526
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 2: wasn't what happened.

527
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: So with this also called the show cause where the

528
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 4: head of the United States Attorney's Civil Division, David Fuller,

529
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 4: and a representative of ICE who turned out to be

530
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 4: the deputy Regional director Tario rich Now. Judge Brian invoked

531
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 4: the prospect of Rosen being held in civil contempt and

532
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 4: fine for criminal contempt and jailed in a testy exchange

533
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 4: near the onset of the hearing, Right Scott Johnson, the

534
00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 4: prospect has elicited the interest of the press. Filled the

535
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 4: seventh floor courtroom in Saint Paul's warren Berger Federal Building

536
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 4: that Judge Brian used for the hearing. His own courtroom

537
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 4: and others on the third floor were out of commission apparently.

538
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 4: Scott says, I sat next to Esmey Murphy of CBS

539
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 4: News in the first row of the courtroom.

540
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 2: More on Esmey in due course.

541
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 4: There's a lot of great details in what the judge

542
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 4: is doing here with Rosen, but it really is the

543
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 4: esme Murphy aspect of this that just takes the cake.

544
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: He says.

545
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 4: I found the hearing to be a surreal exercise. Judge

546
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 4: Brian began with an interrogation of Rosen regarding the premises

547
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 4: underlying the hearing. I wrote in my notes that it

548
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 4: was ordeal by humiliation. Now Dan was not humiliated, but

549
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,280
Speaker 4: it seemed to me that that was the judge's intent.

550
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 4: Dan held his own and I believe ultimately got the

551
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: judge to back down from the prospect of criminal contempt

552
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 4: and imprisonment. Their testy exchange. Testy was Judge Brian's word,

553
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 4: by the way, became more respectful after the judge called

554
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 4: a break out. Dan at all were to show why

555
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 4: they should not be held in contempt for violating court orders.

556
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,880
Speaker 4: In twenty eight course habeas cases involving illegal aliens who've

557
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 4: been arrested and held by Ice in the course of

558
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:18,719
Speaker 4: Operation Metro Search, the personal property of the illegal aliens

559
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: was to have been returned and it's return documented. This

560
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:25,880
Speaker 4: is where things get interesting.

561
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, did they lose some important stuff? Maybe? Like I

562
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 7: can understand if you know, maybe.

563
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 2: It depends on your definition of important.

564
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 7: They stole stuff from them or something.

565
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 10: It must be really bad because they're threatening to jail.

566
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 8: Right, Like I'm thinking like a cell phone or a

567
00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 8: really watch or I don't know.

568
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 7: Okay, okay, I'm not familiar with this.

569
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,240
Speaker 4: Well, I'm so glad that you set cell phones and watches. Right, yeah,

570
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: well no, I'm just glad you set that baseline. I

571
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 4: think that's for somebody, no, no, no, for somebody who

572
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 4: is unfamiliar with the story. That's a very very good

573
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 4: baseline for us to work off of. Y you know,

574
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 4: because cell phones and watches, it could be a rolex,

575
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,680
Speaker 4: very expensive.

576
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 10: Things, maybe something like that.

577
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 4: Now, speaking of crucial things, R and C committeemann A K.

578
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 4: Kamara has now joined us in studio. As you see,

579
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 4: I found you a better chair, my friend.

580
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: This is a far better chair.

581
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 2: Is that better?

582
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 6: Way?

583
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: Way better?

584
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 5: I was actually wondering how could you make a chair better?

585
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 5: And you simply just make it that it doesn't make

586
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 5: you catapult up in the air.

587
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,880
Speaker 1: So I'm glad we got some great chair.

588
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 4: Unfortunately, there's somebody in the emergency room right now who's

589
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 4: I put that chair back into the studio, and unfortunately

590
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 4: it may have gone and bumped their head on the

591
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 4: ceiling and popping into that chair.

592
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: I wish you could see what this chair was like. Honestly,

593
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: like it was absurd.

594
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 7: I'm devastated that.

595
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 4: They were people asking, I mean, that was the whole thing.

596
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 2: Ak is coming in, Did you get him a new chair.

597
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: It's like we did.

598
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 7: Talk about the chair situation a lot.

599
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 4: Because the one guy wondering what the top he's going

600
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 4: to be on Monday, everybody else is going, I don't

601
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 4: care what are you guys talking about. It's gonna make

602
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 4: sure Ak is going a new chair.

603
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 5: And what I love the most though, is that when

604
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 5: the guy's talking about like what they're gonna talk about

605
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 5: a Monday, he sounds like he's like in a tropical place,

606
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 5: whereas like birds singing in the background.

607
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: That was amazing.

608
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 5: But I think it was because you shared that photo

609
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 5: of me that I look like I'm like a very

610
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 5: very small person.

611
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, you like so little, so little in that in

612
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 10: that photo.

613
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 4: All right, getting back into this piece, US attorney interrogated

614
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 4: a contempt hearing over Elliglelien's missing property, Right, things like

615
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:28,200

Speaker 2: Ball it don't okay.

617
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 4: So again, there's some one thousand habeas cases that have

618
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 4: been going on. Right, the federal district judges have been

619
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 4: riding the high horse in opposition to Ice. A case

620
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 4: pending before the Eighth Circuit should clarify whether they have

621
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,239
Speaker 4: the jurisdiction to go and do so here, Right, By

622
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,800

Speaker 4: which Rosen was held to account.

624
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 2: Had been whittled down again.

625
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 4: We had some one thousand habeas cases by the time

626
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 4: of the hearing that had been whittled down to twenty three.

627
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Wow.

628
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 4: Okay, now in the course of the hearing the number

629
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: was whittled down to five. One of the eighteen that

630
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 4: was involved involved a missing not a cell phone, grace,

631
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 4: not a watch, but a shoelace.

632
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 1: Boy, very expensive sho Was.

633
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 7: It made out of gold?

634
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 4: Yes, that's right, a shoelace. One know the rationale for

635
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: the shoelace? Do you already know?

636
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: I have no idea story?

637
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 4: Okay, Catherine, you probably already you probably do? You know

638
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 4: the rationale for the I don't know. Okay, So the

639
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 4: rationale for the shoelace, and the concern was that it

640
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: it might be scraped for DNA tying him to a crime.

641
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 1: Oh well, okay, what is he sucking.

642
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 2: On the shoelace?

643
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean, listen, he could have had like

644
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 5: a bloody hand or something and then he went to

645
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 5: tie his shod.

646
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that's a little bit better than me,

647
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 2: you know, having him put it in his mouth.

648
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 5: I mean the fact that you would be concerned about

649
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 5: that means that you should be arrested right now and

650
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 5: we should hold you until we find out.

651
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 6: I are you so.

652
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 5: Afraid of your DNA right being found on the shoelace?

653
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: Man no A.

654
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 2: Scott Johnson writes. He says that kid, you not.

655
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,880
Speaker 4: Rosen agreed that if Ice found the shoelace, it would

656
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 4: be returned to the concerned illegal alien criminal without further ado.

657
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 10: I mean some of these cases too, by the way

658
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 10: he listed some of the other ones, Like one of

659
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 10: them was the guy's lawyer hasn't come and gotten his

660
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 10: stuff yet.

661
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 7: It's sitting at the place like it's ready to be

662
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 7: picked up.

663
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 10: And he hasn't got it and picked it up, and

664
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 10: they were mad at him for that. What is he

665
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 10: supposed to do about that? These things are all absurd.

666
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 10: This is what every single illegal alien tried to do.

667
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 10: They filed a habeas petition and they thought that was

668
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 10: their get out of jail free card and they took

669
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 10: advantage of it.

670
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 8: It's also frustrating how many of these people have filed

671
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 8: multiple habeas petitions like you can just go in apparently

672
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 8: and just keep trying, and you know, one one guy's

673
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 8: filed four petitions trying to just get released from ICE attention,

674
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 8: and you know, people keep say it only takes one.

675
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 8: It only takes one of these cases for this guy

676
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 8: to be let back out into civil society.

677
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 4: Now, the remaining five cases included one in which lost

678
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 4: property was a passport that was found after the petitioner's

679
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 4: release from ICE custody.

680
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 7: At whippleed, Okay, yeah, I'd be concerned.

681
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, well you would be because you're getting ready concern

682
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 4: because you're getting ready to go to Italy, So you need.

683
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: That passport in mine so I can do without shoelaces.

684
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 2: I need my passboard.

685
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 4: In the meantime, I says stated that they're not aware

686
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 4: of anything missing or lost. Now, another of the five

687
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 4: cases involved the passport. The passport was returned by track

688
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: US mail to the petitioner's attorney, but it hadn't been back.

689
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 2: To the office to open the package. Again, I kid

690
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: you not.

691
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 4: These two passport cases constituted two of the five over

692
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:53,959
Speaker 4: which Judge Brian was deliberating a contempt order throwing him

693
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: in jail.

694
00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 10: Like that's literally what they're debating, throwing the lawyer in jail. Absurd.

695
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 10: It's beyond absurd. And this judge is a total goober.

696
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 10: I mean, you look him up and his entire record

697
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 10: is all about diversity. He spent his whole career talking

698
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 10: about diversity and that's his big thing in the law.

699
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 10: I don't care where your stance is on diversity.

700
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

701
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 10: Just be a fair arbiter of the law as a judge,

702
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 10: that's your job. But clearly he has political motives and

703
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 10: it's just he's making a mockery of the court that

704
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 10: he's supposed to represent.

705
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 5: What's so fascinating is that when you talked John that

706
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 5: there was a thousand habeas filings.

707
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 1: I think that all of.

708
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 5: That is this, like you know, if you want to say,

709
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 5: I don't know, it's the left has completely adopted the

710
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 5: idea that law there is the way to go, because

711
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 5: I feel like he gives them some level of, I

712
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 5: don't know, just belief that our system works with people

713
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 5: on the right, and so if the court says something,

714
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 5: those of us on the right or people that tend

715
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 5: to be on the right are like, well, that's that's

716
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 5: the court. They're fair, they're equal arbiters of justice. Turns

717
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 5: out that the left has been able to flood the

718
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 5: zone with all these awful judges. Just like you said,

719
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 5: when you look at what their motivations are, they don't

720
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,280
Speaker 5: care about justice being blind. They believe that the system

721
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 5: is broken, and they're trying to actually change the way

722
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,080
Speaker 5: that justice is handled in this country on the basis

723
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 5: of your race. I mean, when you think about Mary

724
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,800
Speaker 5: Moriarty and the fact that the Department of Justice and

725
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 5: Civil Rights Division had to sue her because she was saying, Oh,

726
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,440
Speaker 5: if you're black or you're brown, we're going to give

727
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 5: you lighter sentences than if you're white. And it's like,

728
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 5: you can't do that. But that's what I think happens

729
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 5: with these Habeas corpus, all of these cases, is they're

730
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 5: flooding the zone and all they want to do is

731
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 5: like say, if you're an illegal alien.

732
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: You have these certain rights.

733
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 5: And it's like, clearly the Constitution, clearly Supreme Court President

734
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:49,959
Speaker 5: said no, you don't.

735
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: If you don't enter through a legal.

736
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 5: Port of entry or you overseay a visa, you are

737
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 5: held to a different set of standards and you can't

738
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 5: just say nope, I get a trial.

739
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 1: That's insane.

740
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 8: And you look at the way America trust in institutions,

741
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 8: you know, like the courts, like media, like our system

742
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 8: of government has just plummeted in recent years. It's because

743
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 8: the Left has so carefully and insidiously and determinedly taken

744
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 8: over each of those institutions, and those things that were

745
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 8: supposed to be unbiased and trustworthy in our life no

746
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 8: longer are. And that has serious ramifications for the way

747
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 8: society functions.

748
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 7: If we can't trust anything in our life, what can't

749
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 7: we trust each other?

750
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 4: I don't no well, and we unfortunately have not paid

751
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:39,240
Speaker 4: close enough attention to win. These judges end up getting

752
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 4: into these positions, you know, when we have the opportunity

753
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 4: to vote for for judges.

754
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 2: It's something that we just never get focused.

755
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 4: It seems like every time an election rolls around, there'll

756
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,839
Speaker 4: be some smattering of a talk about it, and then

757
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 4: you know, who wants to go and look up individuals.

758
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 2: That are running for judge positions.

759
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 4: But the truth of the matter is they're incredibly important

760
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 4: and you're you're seeing the reason why.

761
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 10: Yeah, they're often unopposed to, so they just get they

762
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 10: get appointed and then technically they get re elected by

763
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 10: the people but they're most of the time, vast majority

764
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 10: of the time, they're unopposed, So it's really not fair.

765
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 5: And I think that there's kind of two different ways

766
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 5: that we can actually make movement on reigning this end.

767
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 5: From a federal level, we should be able to have

768
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 5: some just very very simple, if you have this many

769
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 5: departures from the standard sentencing guidelines, you should have some

770
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,959
Speaker 5: type of panel of impartial judges say like, what's going

771
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 5: on here? Does this person need to be practicing law anymore?

772
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 5: And on the state level you can do the exact

773
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 5: same thing, and I think that will rein in the

774
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:39,319
Speaker 5: judiciary because let's be very clear, if you want to

775
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:44,280
Speaker 5: affect any societal changes, become a legislator, go and become

776
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,440
Speaker 5: an elected politician. The purpose of the judiciary is to

777
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 5: settle arguments between people using impartial law, and that's what

778
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 5: it's supposed to be.

779
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: So I think more and more people are.

780
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 5: Waking up, and I think that even in Minnesota state legislature,

781
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 5: there's been a couple I think it was maybe Walter

782
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 5: Hudson that was talking about this, or I don't know

783
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 5: exactly who was talking about a bill that they had

784
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 5: proposed to be able to.

785
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: Do exactly that.

786
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 5: When it comes to having these wide, wide departures from

787
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 5: normal sentencing guidelines and always having a downward departure where

788
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 5: you're giving less and less and less time, you have

789
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 5: to be able to have someone that comes together and says,

790
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 5: what's going on with this judge.

791
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 10: It's just frustrating that as conservatives who have morals and

792
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 10: want to stick to believing in the constitution, we get

793
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,040
Speaker 10: faulted because the other side is willing to throw all

794
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,800
Speaker 10: those things out the window and let in unlimited numbers

795
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 10: of illegal aliens.

796
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 7: Nothing happens, and then when we.

797
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 10: Try and solve the mess that they've created, we are

798
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 10: the ones that are accused of you know, contempt and

799
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 10: being threatened to be.

800
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 7: Thrown in jail.

801
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,840
Speaker 8: Well, and we have to get a grip on the

802
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 8: higher education system because conservatives can say all day long,

803
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 8: you know, you don't need to for your degree to

804
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 8: have a great career, have a great life, and oh

805
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 8: you can go to these you know, more conservative patriotic

806
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 8: colleges around the country, But people like judges and lawyers

807
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 8: are still going into these higher institutions, these universities that

808
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 8: are still so so full of you know, leftist indoctrination,

809
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 8: and we can't turn our back in those institutions because

810
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 8: those are the people running our court.

811
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 4: Still, I want to go to the iHeartRadio app your

812
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,800
Speaker 4: talkbacks brought to you by Lindalrealty here on Twin City's

813
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 4: News Talk.

814
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 9: Maybe that judge was thinking that the guy who owns

815
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 9: the shoelace was doing that lost dance with it.

816
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: Oh maybe?

817
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 5: Ah, oh, thank you for the visualization.

818
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 4: No, yeah, not really the image that I that I

819
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:33,359
Speaker 4: wanted there, so.

820
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 2: Like any of that. During the morning portion of the hearing.

821
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 4: Scott Johnson goes on to say, I sat next to

822
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 4: Asmi Murphy. I have written about her many times, says

823
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 4: Scott on power Line. She is one of the intensely

824
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 4: partisan left wing journalists working the most intensely partisan left

825
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 4: wing journalists, so working the local political scene. At the

826
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 4: lunch break, she caught up with Dan Dan Rose the

827
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 4: guys trying to be held in contempts to get a

828
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 4: comment from him on the judges threat to imprison him.

829
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 4: She apparently wanted to save or what I call the

830
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 4: judges ordeal by humiliation.

831
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 2: Dan wasn't humiliated, He didn't bite. He basically laughed off.

832
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 14: The cameraman or honestly eyes made while we're during the

833
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 14: during the hearing.

834
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm not going to make make comments. I'm not gonna

835
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: make comments on.

836
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 4: The record while we're in the middle of the hearing,

837
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 4: as man.

838
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,840
Speaker 14: But thanks for the questions. If you can ask me anything,

839
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 14: I'll star. I mean, you can perhaps talk about it imprisonment.

840
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 14: I'm gonna stick with what I said. I'm not gonna

841
00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 14: make any comments while the while the hearing is in process.

842
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 4: I think her son just got a gig. Didn't he

843
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 4: just get a gig over there? I thought I had.

844
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 4: I thought I had. I thought I had read that,

845
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,839
Speaker 4: which wouldn't surprise me. Yeah, in the least bit he did.

846
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 5: But here's the thing about Esme Murphy when you like,

847
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 5: I don't follow her on x but every once in

848
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 5: a while, so I of a post that goes viral,

849
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 5: so it comes across my feed, and she had this

850
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 5: one as an example. It was just a picture of

851
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 5: some coffee in a poorly lit like I don't know

852
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 5: these uh samosas or whatever they're called. And her posts

853
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: got some somosas and an ice Somali coffee for the

854
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 5: ride back to the station, Like She literally will post

855
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,279
Speaker 5: garbage like that when we were in the height of

856
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 5: talking about Somali fraud as her way to like, here's

857
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 5: my flag of support for the Somali community. It has

858
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 5: like one hundred and fifty thousand impressions. And the thing

859
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 5: about Esme, I went on her show one time, right,

860
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,239
Speaker 5: and I caught her so far off guard because I

861
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,239
Speaker 5: watched a couple of, you know, interviews that she did beforehand.

862
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 5: And what she does is when she has Republicans on

863
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 5: or people on the right, she will preframe the question

864
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 5: with a false narrative that I already disagree with or

865
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 5: we already disagree with, so then you're forced to have

866
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:57,319
Speaker 5: to answer from her stupid position. She did that to me,

867
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 5: and I went back and I was like, well, I

868
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 5: fundamentally just agree with the premise here question, And then

869
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 5: I broke down.

870
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: Why I did, and she was so flustered.

871
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 5: It's funny go find the clip, just as may Murphy

872
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 5: ak Kamara, and.

873
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:09,400
Speaker 1: She like is like fumbling over herself.

874
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 5: But because she was telling she was trying to set

875
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 5: up the premise that Donald Trump is a racist, So

876
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 5: why is it the like thirty percent of black males

877
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 5: we're going to support him, and I'm like, well, he

878
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 5: literally isn't racist. He's been loved by the black community,

879
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 5: whether you're talking about Jesse Jackson, whether you're talking about

880
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 5: Oprah Winfrey. And she was like, well, well that was

881
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,880
Speaker 5: back when he was a Democrat, and I was like,

882
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 5: thank you, exactly.

883
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,040
Speaker 1: That's the whole point.

884
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 5: It's not because he's racist, it's because he's a Republican.

885
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 4: It's an incredibly effective tactic that Democrats use where they

886
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 4: basically they set up their own premise and you know

887
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 4: this is this is this is their truth as they

888
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 4: know it, and now you must respond based off of

889
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 4: their truth. So this is where things got really interesting.

890
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 4: Speaking now, this whole thing was about holding this attorney

891
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 4: in contempt of court, okay, And I want to mention

892
00:41:57,480 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 4: too that we do I just want to make sure

893
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 4: that we are clear when it comes to the judges.

894
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 4: You have your judges that are appointed at the federal level,

895
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 4: and then we have our local judges that are elected

896
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 4: at the local level. That's what I was referring to earlier,

897
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 4: relating to how we need to focus on those judges

898
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 4: as well. And we typically during the election cycle don't

899
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 4: know who most of these individuals are so, as Scott

900
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 4: Johnson writes, he says, Esmey did not make it back

901
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 4: into the courtroom for the rest of the hearing. Now

902
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 4: you go back to the beginning of the piece, and

903
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 4: Scott Johnson was there at the front of the group

904
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 4: of the press corps in the room itself in the courtroom,

905
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 4: so he was there along with other journalists, and asmy

906
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 4: Murphy so, esme did not make it back into the

907
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 4: courtroom for the rest of the hearing after lunch, I

908
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 4: understand that she had left her phone on the first

909
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 4: row bench where we had been sitting during the morning.

910
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 4: As credentialed members of the press, we are allowed to

911
00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 4: bring our devices into the courtroom, but under prohibition, we

912
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 4: can't use them to record or photograph inside the courthouse.

913
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 4: In fact, the US Marshall reminded us of that prohibition

914
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 4: that morning. However, Murphy's abandoned phone was picked up during

915
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 4: the break and found to be recording. I was told,

916
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 4: says Scott Johnson, the court yanked her press credential credentials

917
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 4: and sent her packing. And he ends with this, and

918
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 4: it's completely appropriate. Talk about contempt.

919
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: That's fun. That's so fun.

920
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 2: Justice rules for the for the but not for me.

921
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's what Asme Murphy and all of these

922
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 5: you know journalists that pretend that they don't have a bias,

923
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 5: Like I don't have a problem that Esme Murphy's a leftist.

924
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: I don't care.

925
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 5: Just don't say that you're not. That's always been my problem.

926
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 5: Don't pretend that you're not. Like, no, I'm a fair

927
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 5: and you know, impartial, arbiter of the truth and.

928
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get to the bombing story.

929
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 5: It's like, Esme Murphy is one of the most leftist

930
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 5: journalists that we have, and it's like she tries to

931
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 5: hide it and it's absurd.

932
00:43:58,600 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: Just be yourself as man.

933
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,360
Speaker 5: I promise you you'll be so much happier when you

934
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 5: just let everyone know that you are a deranged, died

935
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 5: in the wall leftist.

936
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 4: Well, I've had people come, you know, come at me

937
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 4: in the past. It hasn't happened in a long time,

938
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 4: and I go, well, you're biased, and I'm like, well,

939
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 4: get dug, I'm a conservative news talk show host. What

940
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,000
Speaker 4: do you expect. There's a difference when you're talking to

941
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 4: somebody who's working for a news organization that is supposed

942
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,879
Speaker 4: to remain impartial to what's happening happening, But if you're

943
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:26,879
Speaker 4: not going to, then just be honest about it, because

944
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 4: you're not fooling anybody, right, including the majority of the

945
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 4: people that will watch your or listen to your commentary.

946
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 4: They know you're biased. Yes, just be honest about it,

947
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,319
Speaker 4: all right. Coming up, we're gonna get an update on

948
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 4: the legislative session, including one one Representative who and I'll

949
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 4: share the audio comeing up in just a moment. You know,

950
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 4: you hear things and you go, did they really go

951
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 4: and say that? I have two clips. I have one

952
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 4: from Representative Dave Pinto. I have another one from Athena Hollins.

953
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 4: It's the Pinto one where he actually suggests that maybe

954
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 4: we should study the benefits of shoplifting and retail theft.

955
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 4: The benefits, Yes, because you see grace, people who go

956
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,480
Speaker 4: and conduct shoplifting and retail theft, they may be benefiting

957
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 4: from this, and so because it's a benefit to them,

958
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,839
Speaker 4: then we should be really examining whether or not, you know,

959
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 4: they're benefiting from retail shoplifting and theft.

960
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:26,319
Speaker 2: You know, should.

961
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 4: Be looked at and perhaps a lesser harsher light.

962
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,919
Speaker 7: No, that's incredible. Oh my god.

963
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,840
