The part that I think we really should 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.320 hone in on is this wasn't an accident. It wasn't 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.160 like a misappropriation of paperwork. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.080 This was done on purpose. 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.760 Yeah, they knew, they had full knowledge. And look, don't 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.440 take my word for it. Listen to Tulsa Gabbard and 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.200 what she said this week down in Texas at to 0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:27.280 Eagle Pass. Give a listen. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.520 Pump has been in office. Really, what you're seeing here 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:33.000 today and what you'll continue to see as a unified 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.920 effort across President Trump's National security team, the Department of 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:41.400 Homeland Security towards our mission, which is to ensure a safe, free, 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:45.920 and prosperous society for Americans. As Director of National Intelligence. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.480 There are a number of areas where we are focused. 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:50.320 The President talked about. 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:50.840 In his speech. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.160 Over twenty one million people have come across our borders 0:04:54.200 --> 0:04:57.800 illegally under Joe Biden's administration. There are many of them 0:04:57.839 --> 0:04:59.680 that we don't know who they are. They have not 0:04:59.800 --> 0:05:02.120 been vetted, we don't know where they are. 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:02.960 I'll give you. 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.719 One quick example of one of the problems that we 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.880 are getting after from Central Asia. There were over four 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.440 thousand people who came across our borders using an ISIS 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:17.520 affiliated network. Our National counter Terrorism Center went through and 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.000 identified those individuals. 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.120 There were hundreds of them who. 0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.680 Were either known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. That 0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:28.360 information was provided to the Biden administration. You may remember 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.239 in some of the news a little over one hundred 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.200 of those people were arrested in twenty twenty four. 0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:35.320 Of those who. 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:39.919 Were arrested, only eight were either deported or remained in custody. 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:41.200 Only eight. 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.400 The rest of them were released back into our country. 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.720 Where are they, what are they doing? What may they 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.880 be plotting? This is just the beginning. There are many 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:53.880 many areas that we need to stay very focused on, 0:05:53.920 --> 0:05:56.680 working with Department of Homeland Security, working with the FBI 0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:00.040 to ensure that we're keeping the American people safe. The 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.800 Honor Terrorism Center is working on making sure that we 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:05.440 have that single source for vetting so that we can 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.080 figure out who is actually in our country and identify 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.080 those who pose a threat and get them removed. 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.080 The President's designation. 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:17.159 Of the cartels as foreign terrorists organizations falls directly into this, 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:19.440 especially as we're seeing some of the tactics that these 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.480 cartels are using reflect some of the tactics that we've 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.560 seen used by Islamus terras in countries that many of 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.599 us have served in overseas. 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:29.599 Our mission is very clear. 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:32.760 Our objective is to keep the American people safe. 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:33.560 I'm grateful to be. 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.000 A part of this team that President Trump has assembled 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:37.360 to accomplish that mission. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:37.760 Thank you. 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:39.960 I love the focus. 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.040 The Vice President was down there as well the team, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.640 and you compare that to the borders are who never 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.680 decided to go to egle Pass, didn't want anything to 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.400 do with it, and now we understand again more why 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.239 because they knew they were doing all of the things 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.960 that they were doing to put America's national security at risk. 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.760 Yeah, and it's worth really focusing on the facts that 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.080 Telsea Gabbard is now the Director of National Intelligence. What 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:06.480 she said, she said from Central Asia, there were more 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.200 than four thousand people who came across our borders using 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:15.760 an ISIS affiliated network. So isis, you know, kind of 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:19.000 bad guys, terrorists who've killed lots and lots of Americans. 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:23.120 They're smuggling over four thousand people illegally into this country 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.840 from Central Asia. By the way, Central Asia includes multiple 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:31.480 Islamic countries like Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, where radical Islamic terrorism 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:37.080 is a real threat. And Tulsi said, the National counter 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:41.320 Terrorism Center went through and identified those over four thousand 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:45.440 individuals and there were hundreds of them, hundreds of the 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:50.360 word she used, who were either known terrorists or associated 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:55.720 with known terrorists. And then she says, quote that information 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:59.800 was provided to the Biden administration, So the Biden administration 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:04.440 knew hundreds of either known terrorists or people associated with 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:09.680 known terrorists were smuggled into America. Illegally by an ISIS 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.040 affiliated network. And then she goes on to say, in 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:18.440 twenty twenty four, a little over one hundred of those 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:23.160 terror leaked people were arrested, and then the shocking thing 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.360 of the little more than one hundred, only eight were 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:31.240 either deported or remained in custody. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:32.200 Only eight. 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:38.680 Quote the rest of them were released back into our country. 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.160 So this is not illegal aliens crossing the border that 0:08:42.240 --> 0:08:44.480 get apprehended at they let them go, but they don't 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:48.839 know their terrorists. These are people they know are either 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.880 themselves known terrorists or associated with known terrorists. They also 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.400 know that they were smuggled illegally into this country by 0:08:56.440 --> 0:09:00.600 an ISIS affiliated network, and they were arrested again. And 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:06.760 yet over ninety of them, nearly one hundred, the Biden 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:11.960 administration released into America into your community, into my community 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:13.760 in a single year. 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:17.920 This isn't twenty twenty four. That is stunning. 0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:20.199 And I got to tell you, bet, I've never heard 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:26.880 a single Democrat give any justification for what is just idiocy. 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:31.120 Let's release terror linked illegal immigrants into America. 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:32.720 What possibly could go wrong with that? 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.640 When you look at the and you sometimes it's just 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.320 people are stupid, is it? 0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.160 But it also could be more I could be more 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:42.320 sinister than that, I guess. 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.439 I look at this, I'm like they knew it, did 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:48.280 They just not want to admit that the open border 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:52.880 would allow for so many bad actors to come across, 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.440 with many that may just be coming across right for 0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.640 a better life a job if you put it in 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.880 the best like possible center. And so they knew that 0:10:00.920 --> 0:10:03.080 if they admitted they caught these people and then they 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.720 didn't release them, and they actually prosecuted them or sent 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:08.880 them back to their country, there's a lot of options 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.440 here that was going to sign a huge light on 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.800 the problem. So therefore, hey, we can't admit it's happening. 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:15.960 So we're just gonna go with this anarchy and in 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:16.839 Sandy till the end. 0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.160 Look, Bet, I really don't know. 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:21.200 You know. 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:23.559 I had my very first boss at a phrase he 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.640 used to say. He said, never attribute to incompetence and 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.559 never attribute to malice. What can be explained with incompetence, 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.280 And look, I think there's a lot of wisdom to 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:35.600 that that a lot of times people are just they 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:41.719 just do dumb things. That being said, Listen, I do 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:45.800 I believe the Biden administration wants terrorists to attack America. No, 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:50.040 but then why the hell would you release these people? 0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:54.400 And I guess the only plausible explanation I can come 0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:58.320 up with is there such radicals on open borders they're 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:02.439 so committed to their open bodor because they want millions 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.720 and millions of illegal immigrants, because they they view them 0:11:04.760 --> 0:11:08.600 as future Democrat voters, that they're just deportation was off 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.200 the table. They're not in that business. They don't do it. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:15.080 I don't know. Listen, this is related to a story 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.920 we covered in a pod a couple weeks ago. We're 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:25.319 in Massachusetts right now. They're taking violent child abusers, child molesters, 0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:29.240 people who are raping children, who are illegal aliens, and 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:34.600 even with violent child rapists, the Massachusetts authorities are releasing 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.520 them rather than give them over to Ice to be deported. Now, look, 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.360 reasonable people, you could have an argument about what should 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:42.840 be the level of illegal immigration. 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:44.360 You could. There are all sorts of things you'd have 0:11:44.360 --> 0:11:45.520 reasonable disagreements on. 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.240 But I mean, Ben explained to me why someone says, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.520 you know what we need more of? We need more 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.640 child rapists in our community. Let's let these go. Like 0:11:55.679 --> 0:12:01.840 I my brain cannot wrap itself around those repeated actions. 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.920 And yet that's what's happening. This is the same sort 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.560 of thing you apprehend someone who's a known terrorist who 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.200 was smuggled into America by ISIS, and you say, oh, 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:13.040 let's let them go like like I, I don't know. 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:14.160 You know. 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.440 The poll numbers that came out from the present speech 0:12:16.440 --> 0:12:20.400 the other night were truly incredible. Seventy six percent approved 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:24.040 of Trump's address to Congress. That is a massive win 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.280 for the president. You look at some of the other 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:30.080 ones and poll numbers. Not only that, ninety one percent 0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:32.920 said Trump spent time on issues they cared about. 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:35.760 Yeah, that is a home run. 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:40.280 Seventy one percent said the speech was quote inspiring, and 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.280 sixty two percent said it was unifying. And they said 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.600 that this speech sixty eight percent, so they felt hopeful 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.000 fifty four percent, so they felt proud of the country 0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:51.920 from the speech. 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.880 And when you look at these numbers, even on the. 0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.760 Issue of inflation, where Democrats leaned in heavy over the 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.120 last few weeks to try to say everything that's you know, 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.280 eggs and everything else are the problem of Donald Trump. 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.920 The American people aren't buying that either. When they were 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:08.200 asked for the president a clear plan to battle inflation, 0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.680 sixty eight percent said yes to that as well. And 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:16.560 then on the issue of immigration at the border, the 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:21.200 people watched in seventy seven percent said they were in 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:25.240 favor of Donald Trump's plan on immigration at the border. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.880 When you see this right and you look at what 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.800 the President's saying, and then all those that are working 0:13:32.000 --> 0:13:34.920 towards this, You've got the Vice President, You've got Tolca, 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:37.960 you've got the Secretary of State. Everyone seems to be 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.840 in lockstep on this issue of the border. Is that 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.839 the reason why you think the President's winning so much 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.560 right now on securing this border, because he's explaining it 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.200 the way we are right now as well. 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:53.040 Because he is not absolutely frigging nuts. Yes, I think 0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:58.880 the Democrat Party has gone insane. Releasing murderers and rapists 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:02.160 and child molesters to America is a really bad idea, 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:03.120 and it turns out it's. 0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:04.240 A really unpopular idea. 0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.480 Releasing terrorists into America is a really bad idea, and 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:11.800 it turns out it's a really unpopular idea. Look, you 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.880 and I the we covered did a pod the Night 0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:17.520 of the State of the Union, UH and we talked 0:14:17.520 --> 0:14:20.480 a lot about how the Democrats, for the first time ever, 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.800 didn't applaud for the president of the United States, didn't 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.360 stand for the President of the United States, didn't applaud 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.960 and anything. I'll tell you Actually, yesterday the Senate, Jim 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:32.320 I had a conversation with a Senate Democrat. I'll keep 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.400 him anonymous, but he was a Senate Democrat, one of 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:35.880 my colleagues, and. 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:37.040 He made a comment. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.680 He said something about he thought we were just living 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:45.440 in a surreal world. And I said, look, I got 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.040 to say, I was shocked that you guys didn't applaud 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.360 or stand for the president at all. And he and 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:58.000 he was like, well, you got to understand, we just 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:03.360 think he's destroying the Constitution. And I said, look, I 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:06.040 stood and applauded every year for Barack Obama, I stood 0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.920 and applauded every year for Joe Biden. And I disagreed 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:12.400 with almost everything they were doing, but I respect the 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:15.720 office and I respect the American people. And he just 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:18.160 kind of shrugged and said, we're living in different universes 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:24.800 and we're our bases are fundamentally different. You look at 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.280 Secretary of State Marco Rubio. 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.640 He also announced a policy to penalize foreign countries that 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:33.800 allow the transit of illegal immigrants and is pressuring many 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.920 countries that refuse to accept to the return of their 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:41.240 migrants as well. This could also have a big impact 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:44.720 on this country. I want to get your thoughts on that. 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:46.200 Yeah. 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.960 Look, this administration is securing the border. They're doing it 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.680 right now, and they are going to deport illegal aliens. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.160 They are going to send out of the country, especially 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.800 the violent criminal illegal aliens, the murderers, the rapists, theild molesters, 0:16:00.840 --> 0:16:05.600 the gangbangers, and the countries that don't take it, they're 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:07.480 they're going to make them take it. And that's what 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.680 a strong president who's actually defending this country does. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:13.600 All right, I want to move on to this other 0:16:13.920 --> 0:16:18.320 really important issue, and I want to say, sincerely, Senator, 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:21.360 thank you for leading on the Take It Down Act. 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.120 It is going to have a huge impact in this 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:31.120 country at protecting people against deep fake porn and people 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:34.320 that are trying to harm them, especially young girls. You've 0:16:34.400 --> 0:16:37.560 highlighted it and explained it, and the First Lady is 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.360 now all in on this issue as well. And you 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.800 guys had a round table on Capitol Hill talk a 0:16:42.840 --> 0:16:43.680 little bit about this. 0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:47.800 Well, yeah, So the First Lady came this week to 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.520 Capitol Hill and this is the first legislative issue she's 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.440 gotten involved in this term, and she's leaned in hard 0:16:54.760 --> 0:16:57.160 in support of my Take It Down legislation. And so 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:00.760 we did a roundtable that she came in diticipated in, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:04.800 and we had several of the victims who had been 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.800 targeted share their stories and it was really powerful and 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:12.320 her leadership will really have a powerful effect here. I 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.840 want you to listen. These are my opening remarks at 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:16.520 the roundtable. 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:17.080 Give a listen. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.200 Start by thanking the First Lady for joining us today, 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.040 and thank you for your support of this incredibly important 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.960 legislation to Take It Down Act, which has already passed 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.160 the Senate unanimously, and I am hopeful that the House 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:33.560 will soon take it up and pass it and put 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.680 it on the President's desk to be signed into law 0:17:36.720 --> 0:17:41.120 to protect young women and young boys and all of those. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.400 Who are being victimized across the country. 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.639 I also want to thank our brave victims and victim 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:52.480 advocates who are here, Aliston, Barry, Francesca Mani, Brandon Guffy, 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:53.800 and Breezeloo. 0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:55.440 Thank you for being here. 0:17:55.520 --> 0:18:00.960 Each of you have endured the unspeakable, and your courage 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:05.879 standing up and speaking for others is really remarkable. I 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.640 also want to thank Stephan Turkheimer with RAIN for your 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:10.960 advocacy and support on. 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:11.720 This issue as well. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.680 Thank you for your leadership, and of course I want 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:18.000 to thank Senator Klobuchar, who's the lead Democrat sponsor in 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:22.639 the Senate, and Representative Salazar and Representative Dean who are 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:27.080 the lead sponsors in the House, who've worked alongside in 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:33.520 this important bipartisan legislation. If you're a victim of revenge 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:39.399 porn or AI generated explicit imagery, your life changes forever. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:45.000 Most likely you've been targeted by someone you know, and 0:18:45.040 --> 0:18:51.080 you're likely struggling to have that material removed from the Internet. Disturbingly, 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:55.360 many of these victims are teenagers at American high schools 0:18:56.080 --> 0:19:01.000 who are facing a surge in AI generated sexual images. 0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:06.880 Hundreds of teens, often targeted by their own classmates, are 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.880 enduring senseless psychological harm knowing that these fake images exist 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.320 and they're still out there, and in many case there's 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:20.480 no recourse for these teenage victims. But this issue extends 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.920 beyond high school. There are thousands of cases where predators 0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:31.520 have used non consensual intimate images to extort victims, both 0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:38.320 sexually and financially, and the results can be even more 0:19:38.359 --> 0:19:45.360 traumatic than financial loss, as we'll here today. In dozens 0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:52.639 of instances, parents and siblings have suffered unbearable pain having 0:19:52.760 --> 0:19:56.000 lost their child, or their brother or their sister to 0:19:56.080 --> 0:20:00.680 suicide because the victim felt there was no way out. 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:04.520 From sextorship outside of high school. 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.719 Many adults are also dealing with the very real and 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:13.960 dire consequences of having their sexually explicit images shared online 0:20:14.119 --> 0:20:19.000 without their consent. I have heard from victims of sexual abuse, 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:24.840 of rape, of human trafficking who strongly support the Take 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:27.399 It Down Act because they desperately want some of the 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:31.640 most traumatic moments of their lives taken off the Internet. 0:20:33.160 --> 0:20:36.680 The Take It Down Act empowers victims across the entire 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:42.120 United States. It makes it a felony for these deviants 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:49.359 to publish any non consensual intimate images, including fake lifelike. 0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.520 Pornographic images of real people. 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:58.399 Just as importantly, our bipartisan bill requires big tech to 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:03.400 have a notice and takedown propit so that every victimized American, 0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:07.480 not just the rich and famous, but everyone has a 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:13.919 right to get these disturbing images taken offline immediately. We 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:19.160 are today one step closer to making this dream of reality. 0:21:19.280 --> 0:21:23.200 Just three weeks ago, the Senate unanimously passed to Take 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:27.040 It Down Act. Now it goes to my House, colleagues, 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:30.240 and I have every assurance and confidence that the House 0:21:30.280 --> 0:21:33.120 will take it, take this up, pass it, and put 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.440 it on the President's desk so that we can protect 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:40.119 the victims of these predators. And we're very excited to 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.880 be joined today by the First Lady of the United States, 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:47.600 Milania Trump. Missus Trump has long been a champion for 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:52.560 protecting our nation's children with her be best initiative, and 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:54.639 I can think of no more important issue for our 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:59.360 First Lady to lean on than protecting children online. Your 0:21:59.480 --> 0:22:03.960 success will mean our children's success and healing for thousands 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:04.600 of victims. 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.720 I mean, it's incredible this legislation, and it's also awesome 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:14.600 to see the First Lady coming to the forefront on 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:17.160 this issue and saying I want to champion this as well. 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:17.720 Yeah. 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:20.679 Look, it was tremendously important. She reached out, she wanted 0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:25.440 to do this, she actively participated in the roundtable, and 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:27.600 here I want to play a moment of what she 0:22:27.640 --> 0:22:30.600 had to say at the round table. Here's the first Lady, 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:31.280 Milennia Trump. 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:37.160 I was hardened to learn that Senator Bruce and Senator 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:40.679 Toobechi united to poritize these from AMENTA. 0:22:40.400 --> 0:22:42.840
