1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Hey, Michael, good morning. 2 00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 2: Really interesting you starting not the show talking about Aften 3 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:09,120 Speaker 2: and Van Epp. And when I checked the results this morning, 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,440 Speaker 2: most of the headlines were about Aften cutting into Van 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,919 Speaker 2: App's strong lead, as opposed to talking about the fact 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 2: that she lost the race. So you know, they were 7 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,959 Speaker 2: looking for that storyline, like you're saying, and they're trying 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: to run with it even though she lost. 9 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 3: Interesting, it's very interesting, and quite frankly, if I can 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 3: get to it. In the third hour, we're going to 11 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:36,159 Speaker 3: talk about the You may remember Monday morning, I started 12 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,720 Speaker 3: talking about how I think, based on all of the reporting, 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 3: including Fox News, about the attack on the speed boats, 14 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 3: the drug boats back in September, how if all that 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 3: reporting is true, it could possibly be a war crime. 16 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: The New York Times yesterday came. 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: Out with a news story, and I'm going to break 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 3: down that story because while my analysis, based on the 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 3: facts as they were presented, would remain the same. Oh interestingly, 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 3: now the facts seem to have changed a little bit. 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 3: And it's amazing the kind of principle that The New 22 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: York Times puts itself in trying to say well without saying, so, 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 3: maybe we didn't get destroy quite right, or maybe we 24 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,920 Speaker 3: don't know the full story yet, or maybe you know 25 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 3: there's more to come, but the twisting is hilarious, and 26 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 3: we're going to walk through that. And then before I 27 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: get to and I want to talk about something else 28 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 3: we talked about yesterday, which was the Zero three, the 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 3: zero squads in Afghanistan that were developed by the CIA 30 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: to do some kind of shall we say, off the 31 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: books killing, and then we bring those people into this 32 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 3: country without vetting them. And now we're going to talk 33 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 3: and so we talked about that, and I want to 34 00:01:55,080 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: talk in just a moment about how getting rid of 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 3: temporary protected status and doing what Trump wants to do 36 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 3: is the absolute right, legal, and I think moral thing 37 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 3: for the country to do. 38 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: But before we do that, because we had. 39 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 3: A lot of text messages about that little game that 40 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 3: Dragon played in the last at the end of the 41 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 3: last hour, I want to go to a text message 42 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 3: that I responded to last night. 43 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: And I'm saying this because. 44 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 3: I always tell the audience even if the text line 45 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: is three three one zero three. We've been having some 46 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: trouble with it, but we're getting the text messages. But 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,359 Speaker 3: there's been some problem with the responses blah blah blah. 48 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: But anyway, last night I forget why or when, but 49 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: I'm as I tell you, I read every single text 50 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 3: message that comes in. Why you don't believe me, I 51 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 3: don't know. But there was a text message that I 52 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: thought deserved at least a deminimous response, So I did 53 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 3: last night, and the response was this from this is 54 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 3: from Goober number seventy one oh five. Michael, you obviously 55 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: always do read your text messages. I have a feeling 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: that Tam has pissed off at you since you just 57 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: responded to mine, you must be in the doghouse. 58 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: No, not at all. 59 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: Tarma had no clue what I was doing. I mean, 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 3: I could have been watching porn on off my laptop. 61 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: It's a bit of a bummer that it takes a 62 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 4: little bit more work for us to read these text 63 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 4: messages now, but it's you know, worth it. 64 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 3: But yeah, and I and I always will read all 65 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: the text messages. So when I tell you I do, 66 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: I do, and Goober number seventy one oh five can 67 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 3: affirm that. Oh and he was surprised that I responded, 68 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 3: and it was, uh, maybe someday. I all talked about 69 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 3: the question he asked me because it was it's actually 70 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: a fascinating question. But instead, I'm going to move on 71 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: to what interests me, because I don't care what interests 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: you about what interests me. Otherwise, if I only did 73 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: what interests you, it'd be pretty boring radio. Let's go 74 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 3: back to that execution style ambush that happened in downtown DC. 75 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: We had an. 76 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: Afghan national gunned down that National Guard specialist, Sarah Beckstrom, 77 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: and then left staff Sergeant Wolf fighting for his life. 78 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 3: Let's remember if that was not an isolated boat from 79 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 3: the blue. That wasn't an isolated incident. It was a 80 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 3: foreseeable consequence of what I considered to be a moral 81 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:46,560 Speaker 3: and strategic decision by the Biden administration to fly tens 82 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,159 Speaker 3: of thousands of Afghans into the United States with little 83 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 3: more than a promise that they had at one time 84 00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 3: been on our side. Huh, how fickle it is their 85 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: loyalty to the United States. Now, among the people that Biden, 86 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 3: you know, fleded the country with, were, according to veterans 87 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 3: and reporting in the day since the attack, not just 88 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 3: interpreters and maybe bureaucrats from the UH what was his 89 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: name Kusei Homi Karzai government, but the members of the 90 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: CIA's CIA's notorious zero unit death squads, like as we 91 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: talked about yesterday, the zero three Candahar strike Force that 92 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 3: human rights groups have tied to summary executions, enforced disappearances, 93 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 3: and night rade massacres. But forced to understand what that means, 94 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: Imagine what would happen if the United States simply took 95 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 3: several thousand members of say a Latin American death squad, 96 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 3: men that are trained and then reward for kicking down 97 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: doors and killing enemies at close range, like drug cartel, 98 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 3: you know, some of the worker bees and the drug cartels, 99 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: and we brought them into this country and then scattered 100 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: them into working class neighborhoods in Denver, Minneapolis, or Bellingham 101 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: or Dallas. The doctrine of trauma alone would tell you 102 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 3: what comes next. You cannot train men for years to hunt, interrogate, 103 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: kill in the dark and then just drop them into 104 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 3: an alien culture and assumed that, oh, you know what, 105 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 3: I think I'll just drive for Uber Eats. I think 106 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: I'll just get a job driving for door Dash. We've 107 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 3: taught them one thing, violence, and then we leave them 108 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 3: when supervised the public record on Zero Units is not ambiguous. 109 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: As I said yesterday, Human Rights Watch and the United 110 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 3: Nations Mission in Afghanistan, and independent reporters have documented strike 111 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: forces operating under Afghan Intelligence Service designations like NDS one 112 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 3: to two and three, often with CIA advisors on the ground, 113 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 3: conducting kill capture rates that left families shredded, village just terrorized. 114 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: That's what really was going on. It's not an ambiguous record. Now, 115 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: I want you to take that record that we talked 116 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: about yesterday. I want you to overlay that with the 117 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: scale of Biden's evacuation and resettlement choices through Operation Allies 118 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: Refuge and the successor of that program, Operation Allies Welcome. 119 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: The Administration admitted that it brought about seven thousand members 120 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: of these Afghan death squads and their families into the US, 121 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 3: including about two thousand fighters from Zero Units and those 122 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 3: death squads. They were placed into a wider cohort of 123 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 3: almost one hundred thousand Afghans brought onto our soil just 124 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: in a matter of months, all almost all of them 125 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: brought here on a humanitarian parole that is a form 126 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: of bare discretionary admission. It doesn't have any of the 127 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 3: durable legal protections associated with lawful permanent residents. Now, all 128 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 3: the reporting since then has revealed that thousands within that 129 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: broader cohort triggered actually triggered national security, public safety or 130 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: fraud flags in our DHS databases. Yet we still allowed them. 131 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 3: And I'm saying we because it was our government at 132 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 3: the time. I know it was Biden, but it was us. 133 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 3: Will you release them into the communities and then the 134 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 3: files just get pushed a shot aside. And some of 135 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 3: those flag cases involved men who had been freed from 136 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: Taliban prisons or who had served in precisely the killed 137 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: teams at issue in this current controversy of the killing 138 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: of these of the one National guardsmen, the one still 139 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: laying in critical condition, Biden didn't just rescue sympathetic families 140 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 3: who you know, may be worked at a desk in 141 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: the embassy. He airlifted substantial group of seasoned Afghan combatants, 142 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 3: including those zero Unit alumni, many of whom were not 143 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 3: patriots at all. 144 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 1: They weren't These weren't patriots. 145 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: These were men recruited directly out of Afghan prisons. These 146 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 3: would be like the people that Putin has taken out 147 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 3: of Russian prisons and put on the front lines of 148 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: the Ukraine War. In fact, I would argue that the 149 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: majority of these dev squad members that had been jailed 150 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 3: by the Taliban for serious crimes including murders, sexual assault, 151 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: violent theft. They were poor, they were uneducated. They were 152 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: military age men that are driven by revenge, not truly 153 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 3: ideological alignment with the United States, but with revenge against 154 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 3: the entire world, the Taliban, the Afghan government, the United States, 155 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: the war. These are people whose brains and their mentality, 156 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 3: their mental fitness has absolutely been crucified now either way. 157 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 3: The attack on the guardsmen in DC reveals the cost 158 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 3: of this kind of just wholesale importation of people with 159 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 3: virtually and in most cases literally no vetting whatsoever. Reports 160 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 3: now indicate that local refugee workers and case managers who 161 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 3: are raising the alarms about this particular guy's mental state. 162 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 3: So all of that's just a factual backdrop for a 163 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 3: more basic legal and political point. Every one of these Afghans, 164 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 3: every single one, from zero unit operatives to their adult 165 00:10:54,080 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: family members, occupies a legal category sharply different from the 166 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 3: constitutional citizenship that attaches to those born or naturalized within 167 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: this country. The Fourteenth Amendment citizenship clause creates a class 168 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 3: of Americans whose membership cannot be stripped by executive whom 169 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: and the Supreme Court has made clearing cases like ifree 170 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 3: Owned versus Rusk and vance Bears versus Tarazas that once 171 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 3: somebody is a constitutional citizen, the government can't take that 172 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 3: status away absent fraud in the original naturalization or voluntary 173 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 3: or a voluntary decision to relinquish. They're constitutionally granted citizenship, 174 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: and parenthetically, I want to remind you, doesn't make any 175 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 3: difference what you and I think about so called birthright 176 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: citizenship or someone who is granted citizenship based on a 177 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,239 Speaker 3: previous temporary protected status. 178 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: It does not. 179 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 3: The shield does not extend to the men and women 180 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 3: whose presence in this country stems from statute passed by 181 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 3: Congress or from the president's pure discretionary powers. Statutory and 182 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 3: discretionary statuses, by contrasts, are inherently revocable, and humanitarian parole 183 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: is a quintessential example of one of those kinds of 184 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 3: discretionary statuses that is inherently revocable. It is not an 185 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: admission in a technical sense. This humanitarian parole under which 186 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 3: they were brought here confers no permanent right to stay here. 187 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: It exists solely because Congress has allowed the President to 188 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: temporary allow otherwise inadmissible aliens into this country because of urgent, 189 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 3: humanitarian or for significant public benefit reasons. Asylum and refugee 190 00:12:52,920 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: status are also statutory creations. They're granted by executive officers 191 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 3: officers under conditions that Congress has specified and explicitly subject 192 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 3: to termination when those conditions are no longer met, or 193 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 3: when fraud, criminality, or most importantly, national security grounds are present. 194 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 3: Lawful permanent residents the green card status that many of 195 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: these Afghans hope to someday reach, hope to someday reach, 196 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 3: they've not yet reached. It. It may be a little 197 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 3: more durable, but yet it too can be rescinded within 198 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 3: five years if obtained by fraud, and can also be 199 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 3: the basis for removal if the holder commits certain crimes, 200 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 3: aligns with terrorist activity, or violates the terms of admission. 201 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: This hierarchy matters because it shows where President then Trump 202 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: and I think Secretary of State Rubio can act unilaterally unilaterally, 203 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 3: and where they must, in my opinion, they must proceed 204 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: through slower judicial channels. I think the latter, slower judicial 205 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 3: channels is going to be a very narrow subset of 206 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: these people that Biden brought in. The most potent tool 207 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 3: in Rubio's arsenal is the doctrine of consular non reviewability. 208 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 3: That is a principle that is centuries old, under which 209 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 3: federal courts decline to second guest the decision of a 210 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 3: consular officer that denies, revokes, or withholds visas and other 211 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 3: entry documents for any aliens abroad. Now, Congress codified the 212 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: secretary's discretion in statutes that allow him to revoke any 213 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 3: of the or any other documentation at any time in 214 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: his discretion, and courts have read certain cases and decisions 215 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: to mean that exclusion decisions for non citizens outside our 216 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: borders are a political is a political question, is not 217 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 3: a judicial question. And the Supreme Courts handling the President 218 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 3: Trump's travel prompt proclamation back in Trump versus Hawaii actually 219 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: harden my view, emphasizing that where the executive articulates a 220 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 3: facially legitimate and bona fide reason grounded in foreign affairs 221 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 3: and national security, the courts must step aside. Now, let's 222 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: get to the nitty gritty for the Afghan militants and 223 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 3: many of their family members. That means that Trump and 224 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 3: Rubio are not trapped by the choices that Biden made 225 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty one. I think just the opposite. A 226 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 3: second Trump term has already used emergency authority to pass 227 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 3: new asylum grounds and Afghan visa issuance, So the next 228 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 3: step would be to reverse the pipeline itself. So Rubio can, 229 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 3: as a matter of law, instruct the consular officers and 230 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 3: the State Department bureaus to revoke every entry document, every 231 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 3: parole authorization, every transportation letter, and refugee or sihly travel 232 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: document that was issued to Afghan nationals under Biden Arab programs, 233 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: subject only to any narrow exceptions that he alone decides 234 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: that he wants to carve out, and he can do 235 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 3: so on the ground that ongoing intelligence reports and of 236 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,880 Speaker 3: course the killing in DC shows a systemic failure of 237 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:57,479 Speaker 3: vetting that renders all the prior approvals unreliable. So therefore, 238 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 3: under existing law and doctrine, no federal judge can order 239 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,919 Speaker 3: him to reissue those documents. So, of course that raises 240 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 3: a question, what do you think the question is, well, 241 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 3: what does that mean in practice for the zero unit 242 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: cohorts or any other non vetted Afghans. I think it's 243 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 3: a great question, and I'll tell you exactly what it means. 244 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 5: As yet again, I have to wonder, how is it 245 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 5: that Kale can spend so much time in all of 246 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 5: its newscasts talking about snow. It's weather, it snows, next. 247 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: Says the Belief of Alaska. I don't think I don't 248 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 1: think that's him. 249 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 3: Oh, you don't think that was him. Sammon kind of 250 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 3: liked him. Maybe it's maybe it wasn't. But but whoever 251 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 3: it is, they'd make a great point, Oh it was n't. Yeah, yeah, 252 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: I mean it's weather. Let me check calendar. Oh, Wednesday, 253 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: December third, as we're broadcasting live at ten thirty four 254 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 3: in the morning and it's snowing. 255 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 1: Holy cow. 256 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 3: But I do have to admit I honestly thought this 257 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 3: morning I left thirty minutes earlier than I normally do, 258 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: because you know, it's a requirement. I've got to have 259 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 3: the diet coke. If I came in here without a 260 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,199 Speaker 3: diet coke, the show would just be crappier than it 261 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 3: already is. And we can't have that. I mean, we 262 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 3: got a certain standard. We have to make sure we 263 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 3: stay below, right. Can't exte the standard of course, right. 264 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,480 Speaker 3: And I was truly amazed at how well people were driving. 265 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 3: I was like, am I in a different state? Am 266 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 3: I outside the Denver metropolitan area? People are driving rationally 267 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 3: and carefully. I didn't find the person, you know, driving 268 00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 3: in the left lane with their blinkers on. I didn't 269 00:18:59,440 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: see that. 270 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: Wow. 271 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 4: It kind of quickly reminds me the girl dad there 272 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 4: had interned for koa way back in the day, in 273 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 4: the you know, the nineteen hundreds. There there was a 274 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: host here that did a Diary of a Mad snow shoveler. 275 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 4: And he actually had requested that we could play that 276 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 4: in years past as we were doing you know, the 277 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 4: shows over here, and and I couldn't find it. 278 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: I found it, Oh did you really? Yeah? So what 279 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: is it? 280 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 4: It's it's exactly as it says, Diary of a Mad Snowshoveler. 281 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 4: So it's December first, it snowed. Oh I love shoveling. 282 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 4: It's great, it's fantastic. 283 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: And he has heard yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 284 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 4: So just tossing it out before we you know, everybody 285 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 4: know it's we're going on Christmas vacation. There's no real 286 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 4: secret here that the shows take some time off. But 287 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 4: before we go, we should save some time. Yeah, we 288 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,920 Speaker 4: should do play that. Yeah, we'll do that. Doesn't fit 289 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 4: in right now, talk me about zero three murders school. 290 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 4: But yeah, although he kind. 291 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: Of turns in, he probably could at the end of 292 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 3: that whole vent could have been recruited by the CIA 293 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 3: to be one of those killers. 294 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 4: But since that was girl dad, and girl Dad had 295 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 4: requested it and he was actually shoveling as he left. 296 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,640 Speaker 1: The talk back. Oh, he actually requested it years ago. No, 297 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: we're not gonna do anything to make him happy. 298 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, it'll kill seven or eight minutes for us. 299 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 4: We don't have to do anything during that time. Fine, Well, 300 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 4: we'll do that on other day when I'm like I've 301 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 4: run out of steam. 302 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 3: David ends and why Yeah, but that's a personal matter 303 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: at home that has nothing to do with the radio. 304 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 3: That's why I endorsed Rocky Mountain Men's plenty. 305 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: What do you think me? Good grief? 306 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 3: Anyway back, So, what what does this mean in practice 307 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 3: for the zero unit cohorts and all of the other 308 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 3: thousands and thousands, hundreds of thousands of non vetted Afghans. 309 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: It means that every Afghan who are right on that 310 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 3: humanitarian parole can have that parole terminated. They can do 311 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 3: it either by an explicit ravocation or they can refuse 312 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 3: to extend it. Temporary protected status, which is a form 313 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 3: of parole is begins with the word what come on kids, temporary, 314 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 3: meaning it's not permanent. Once the parole lapses, the person 315 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 3: is removable. Now, Trump and Rubio could build a triage 316 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 3: of a triage system in which zero unit membership combat 317 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 3: service and CIA back kill teams, serious derogatory flags that 318 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 3: might pop up in a DHS database or any unexplained 319 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 3: gaps in a file that could trigger immediate placement into 320 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 3: the removal proceedings. Or let's say the person is currently abroad, 321 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 3: you geld to go ahead and impose a permanent ban 322 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: on re entry and for the those who have already 323 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 3: received their asylum, then Trump and Rubio could use statutory 324 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 3: termination provisions that permit revocation when the person committed fraud 325 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 3: or poses a danger to the security of the United States, 326 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 3: or no longer qualifies as a refugee. In light of 327 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: change country conditions. That's the first thing, but there's a second. 328 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: It means that even Afghans who have progressed to lawful 329 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 3: permanent status lawful permanent residents, doesn't mean that they're untouchable. Now, 330 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 3: Rubio cannot use consular non reviewability to sign a magic 331 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 3: order to somehow just magically vacates a green card. But 332 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 3: he can do two things that are almost as consequential. 333 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 3: He could direct the Department of Homeland Security to conduct 334 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 3: fraud and security audits of every Green card obtained by 335 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 3: these Biden era Afghans paroles, and then rescind any status 336 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 3: that was granted on the basis of false statements within 337 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 3: a five year statutory window. I would just add a 338 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 3: quick footnote here to the person that sent me the 339 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 3: text message about Congressman elon Omar. That might be the 340 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 3: most prohibitive way of prohibit that. That might be the 341 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 3: most strident prohibition on revoking her permanent resident status. Plus 342 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: she's also become a citizen. But you could also argue fraud, 343 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: but I think the statute of limitations has probably expired 344 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 3: and you can't do anything about her. And the other 345 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 3: thing Rubio can actually weaponize the boundary between inside and 346 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 3: outside the United States, so that when a Green card 347 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 3: holder is abroad you're trying to get back in, they 348 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: get treated under current immigration law as an applicant for 349 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 3: admission if certain triggers are present, including extended time outside 350 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 3: the country, or engaging in suspected criminal activity, or just 351 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 3: the broad general national security concerns. So Rubio could then 352 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 3: instruct the consular posts and all the carriers at those 353 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: posts to deny boarding, refuse returning resident visas, treat these 354 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:31,880 Speaker 3: individuals as intending immigrants without valid documentation. Interestingly, not only 355 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 3: did a cursory sarch, but the court seem to have 356 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 3: been clear that non resident aliens that are stuck outside 357 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 3: the borderlines have almost zero constitutional claim to demand re 358 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 3: entry into the United States. So we ought to just 359 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: forth just being a smartass here, but maybe ought to 360 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 3: form like a little travel group and just say, hey, 361 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 3: we've got really cheap flights when I go home to 362 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 3: visit the relative that you left behind. 363 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 1: You know, for nineteen dollars and ninety. 364 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: Five cents, we can fly you from Lax or Kennedy 365 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 3: or DA and you will fly you back into Cobble. 366 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 3: We'll fly you back into Islamabad wherever, and you can 367 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 3: visit your relatives and then oh, well, sucks to be you. 368 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 3: You're out of the country. You have no constitutional right 369 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 3: to demand re entry. Oh I do it. I do 370 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 3: it in a heartbeat. So I'll never be president because 371 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 3: that's the kind of crap that I'd pull. Now, the 372 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 3: effects of doing any of these things is pretty straightforward, 373 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 3: because a zero unit veteran who parlayed a parole entry 374 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: into a green card but then travels back to the 375 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 3: region could find himself in stranded, unable to board a flight, 376 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 3: and his green card suddenly reduced just to a piece 377 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 3: of plastic that has no associated right to re enter 378 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 3: attached to it. Now he could sue, but without a 379 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: foot on us soil, that we're going to be pretty 380 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 3: damn hard to do, and the litigation that's going to 381 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 3: take years anyway, And in the meantime, the practical question 382 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 3: that matters for public safety, whether he is present in 383 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 3: the neighborhoods, say, where the bextern's family lives, or on 384 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: the far side of the world. Well, that's been answered. 385 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 3: You're out of the country and you can't come back, 386 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 3: so that neighborhood that you were in no longer has 387 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 3: to worry about are you one of the crazies or not? Now, 388 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 3: I know that even in this audience, you might say 389 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 3: that that's collective punishment. Well, like, come on, most Afghans 390 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 3: resettled under Operation Operation Allies welcome. They haven't committed any crimes, 391 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,880 Speaker 3: and many did indeed risk their lives against the Taliban. 392 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 3: I understand that, But do you really want to blur 393 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: the hard moral difference between an Afghan translator who just 394 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 3: quietly processed payroll and a man who led door kicking 395 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 3: raids in Kandahar. I think there's a difference. I think 396 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 3: there's a huge difference. And even if there's a huge difference, 397 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: I still want both of them feted. I know they're 398 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: interpreters that just shuffled paper. All they wanted to do 399 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 3: was make a living and hope the Americans could help 400 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:23,240 Speaker 3: establish the stable government. And when it all went to 401 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: crap and they somehow made it aboard, you know, a 402 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 3: C five A or whatever, they were able to get 403 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 3: on and get into this country. I know all they 404 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: want to do is get a job at mcnowledge or 405 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 3: whatever and live out their lives here and not go 406 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 3: back to that craphold country. I understand that what we 407 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: ought to do is at least met them. 408 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 6: Michael, was that the collar from Alaska girl? 409 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 5: Dad? 410 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,040 Speaker 6: Anyway, He's right, it's just snow. 411 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: When I was a kid, we. 412 00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 6: Had whether, we had meteorologists, we didn't have bomb cyclones. 413 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: And all this crazy talk about the weather. 414 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 6: Read snow days, and I grew up in a place 415 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 6: way snowier than here. I mean, we're just scared of everything. 416 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 1: I think these days. 417 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,440 Speaker 4: I do like the text messages also came in and said, Mike, 418 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: when did it when it didn't snow? They also talked 419 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,160 Speaker 4: about the snow, how it didn't snow yet? Oh weather, 420 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 4: I mean global warming or cooling or change. 421 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was. 422 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 3: It's the point that I'm probably going to get to 423 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 3: in the next hour about how they distorted the news 424 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 3: through both comission and omission, and no matter what did it, 425 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 3: no matter what's happening, it's the end of civilization. Oh 426 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 3: my gosh, this is interesting news. Congresswoman Elise Stefoni, the 427 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: Republican from New York, has been in a battle with 428 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 3: Speaker Mike Johnson. She has now secured the inclusion. Just 429 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 3: this happened this morning. The key provision in the National 430 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 3: Defense Authorrization Act, the NDAA, which this provision is an 431 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 3: attempt to prevent the illegal weaponization of federal agencies. Now, 432 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: the two have been arguing about this for some time. Well, 433 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 3: yesterday the spat between the two became public and Stefanic, 434 00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 3: a New York Republican and obviously an ally of Donald Trump, 435 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: and Congresswoman and A Paulina Luna from Florida both threatened 436 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,200 Speaker 3: to vote against the NDAA unless her provision was included. 437 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 3: So Johnson really didn't have much of a choice. Now 438 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 3: it's expected to reach the House floor sometime later this 439 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 3: week with Stephanic's provision on weaponization included. Now, if adopted, 440 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,280 Speaker 3: here's what, well, why is this is so important? If 441 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 3: it gets adopted, this provision would require mandate that the 442 00:29:55,200 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 3: FBI notified Congress when their investigations into pre residential or 443 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 3: other federal candidates yet launched. What's wrong with that? I 444 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 3: know all the law enforcement people are saying, well, sometimes 445 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 3: investigations need to be kept quiet. Yeah, but if you're 446 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 3: investigating the president of the United States of America, if 447 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 3: your own Department of Justice is investigating you, or you're 448 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 3: on the on the Senate Oversight Committee that oversees the 449 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 3: FBI and they're investigating somebody on the oversight committee. Yeah, 450 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 3: I think they have a right to know that, So 451 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 3: take the little victories where you can.
