1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: We've got a couple major issues that we're going to 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,840 Speaker 1: be talking about today, including the Trump administration is moving 3 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: to fire FBI agents involved in the Donald Trump weaponization 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 1: of our government to probe him. Yeah, those people are 5 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,240 Speaker 1: going to be gone. I'll give you all the details 6 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: on that coming up. But before we get to that, 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: Donald Trump moved on a very big issue, and that 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: was the issue of school choice. 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,120 Speaker 2: This through an executive order. 10 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trumps signing an order on school choice as well 11 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 1: as funding. I want you to hear how Local Fox 12 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: was telling the story. 13 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 3: And President Trump signs two executive orders on school funding 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 3: that fulfill promises he made on the campaign trail. 15 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 4: The orders take action to stop schools here in our 16 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 4: country from teaching the so called critical race theory or 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 4: other topics on race and sexuality. Since taking off face 18 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 4: January twentieth, the president has issued more than three hundred 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 4: executive orders. 20 00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 5: This includes an order to support school choice. 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 4: How they're removing federal funding from K through twelve schools 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 4: that teach critical race theory. Trump's order, titled Ending Radical 23 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 4: Indoctrination in K through twelve schooling reads in part, parents 24 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 4: have witnessed schools make their children in radical anti American 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 4: ideologies while deliberately blocking parental oversight. It goes on to 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 4: say such an environment operates as an echo chamber, and 27 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 4: when students are forced to accept these on ideologies without 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 4: question or critical examination of many cases, and as it 29 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 4: children are compelled to adopt identities as either victims or 30 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,200 Speaker 4: oppressors solely based on their skin color and other characteristics. 31 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 4: Order cites Civil Rights Act of nineteen sixty four, which 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 4: prohibits discrimination over race, color, and national origin for any 33 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: activity of program receiving federal funding. 34 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,680 Speaker 1: This obviously a major move for parents, freedom of choice 35 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: and school choice. The President also brought in his former 36 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: White House Press Seretary SARIH. Hockebie Sanders to talk about 37 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: how Trump will provide prosperity for students through school choice, 38 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 1: meaning you're no longer controlled by the government or the teachers' unions. 39 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: This is putting students, education and parents first. 40 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 3: We have on our screen right now, and we can 41 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: come back to this. I want to go back to 42 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: what the governor was just mentioning, because we have a 43 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: map twelve states with universal school choice Montana, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: West Virginia, Arizona, Utah, Arkansas, as you just heard from 45 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 3: Governor Sanders, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Alabama all have at least 46 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: one private school choice program that's universally accessible to K 47 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 3: through twelve students in that particular state. So states on 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 3: their own, like yours, have had to ignite this necessarily. 49 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 6: Unfortunately it has been left to the states. But that's 50 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 6: not the case anymore. We saw President Trump sign an 51 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 6: executive order He's convened people from all over the country 52 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 6: here at the White House today. We now have somebody 53 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 6: who is going to champion American families and do so 54 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 6: by empowering parents to make the best decision possible about 55 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 6: where and how they can be educated. Republican governors have 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 6: had to have that fight on their own for the 57 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 6: last four years. We no longer have to do that 58 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 6: by ourselves. We have somebody in the White House that 59 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 6: not only is going to fight by us, but is 60 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 6: going to lead the charge and help make sure we 61 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 6: get the job done. And the best and most important 62 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 6: beneficiaries are going to be students and kids across the country. 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 3: Well, and you know, Kevin or when you talk with 64 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: people in large urban areas like New York, city or 65 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 3: even my county in New Jersey, which is huge. When 66 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 3: you talk to parents who are financially struggling, they'll say, 67 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: everybody thinks that we don't want choice and that we'll 68 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: just take whatever they give us. They don't feel that way. 69 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 3: They like the idea of Okay, can I have access 70 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,119 Speaker 3: That accessibility is it, and then let me figure out 71 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: how I get my child to this place or to 72 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 3: that place. 73 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 6: No child should ever be trapped in a failing school 74 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 6: simply because of their zip code. And that's exactly what 75 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 6: this president is doing. He is removed those barriers and 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 6: making sure that every kid in America has a pathway 77 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 6: to prosperity. By giving parents a choice about where their 78 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 6: kids go to school, they will finally have all the 79 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 6: tools and resources they need to pave their own path. 80 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 6: And that's one of the best things about living in 81 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 6: America is it doesn't matter where you start. You get 82 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 6: to decide where you will finish. We have a president 83 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 6: now who understands that is going to fight for it 84 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 6: and make sure everybody has the opportunity to experience it. 85 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 2: That's what It's very simple. 86 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is saying you, as a parent, you should 87 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: be able to get your kid the best education possible, 88 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: and you shouldn't be stuck in a school that is 89 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: failing your child. That is exactly why the President has 90 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 1: moved forward with this executive action. Now, let me give 91 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: you some of the details in here so you understand 92 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: exactly what is going to take place and what this means. 93 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: First up, and this may be the most important part, 94 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: is President Trump signing this sweeping executive order backing school 95 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: choice and IMpower powering parents, is saying to this order 96 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: is for the states that you must support parents in 97 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: choosing and directing the upbringing and education of their children. 98 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: It is not your job to go against them. It 99 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: is not your job to make it harder on them. 100 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: And it directs the Department of Education to prioritize school 101 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: choice programs through discretionary grants. 102 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: Quote. 103 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: Parents want and deserve the best education for their children. 104 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: Too many children do not thrive in their assigned government 105 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: run K through twelve school system. According to this year's 106 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: National Assessment of Educational Progress, seventy percent of eighth graders 107 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: in America were below proficiency in reading. Seventy two percent 108 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: of eighth graders in this country we're below proficients see 109 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 1: in math and moreover, quote, geographically based school assignments exacerbate 110 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 1: the car of housing and districts with preferred schools, stranding 111 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: the finances of millions of American families sacrificing for their 112 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 1: children's future. And let me just translate that for you. 113 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: What Trump's saying is, look, where there are good schools, 114 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: the costs of housing is much higher because parents are 115 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: dying to get their kids in a school district that 116 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 1: is a solid school district, that's a good school district. 117 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: And so that's the biggest point here. The biggest problem 118 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: is that it's unfair because there's a lot of parents 119 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 1: that are now are wanting. 120 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: To give their kids a great education, they can't. 121 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: Afford the housing or the rent in the school district 122 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: that was actually serving their kids' needs. So Trump saying 123 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: that's not right, that should never happen. We've got to 124 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: get rid of that to make sure that every parent 125 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: has a chance to get their kids in a great 126 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: school system, regardless of their zip code. 127 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 2: Quote. 128 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: When our public education system fails such a large segment 129 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: of society, it hinders our national competitiveness and devastates families 130 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 1: and communities For this reason, more than a dozen states 131 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 1: have enacted universal K through twelve scholarship programs what you 132 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,240 Speaker 1: just heard on Fox a moment ago that allows families, 133 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: rather than the government, to choose the best educational setting. 134 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 2: For their children. Quote. 135 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: These states have highlighted the most promising avenue for education reform. 136 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: Educational choice for families and competition for residentially assigned government 137 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:32,239 Speaker 1: run public schools is important. The growing body of rigorous 138 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:37,680 Speaker 1: research demonstrates that well designed education freedom programs improve student 139 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: achievement and cause nearby public schools to improve their performance, 140 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: or in essence, they're out of business now. The order 141 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,119 Speaker 1: specifically directs the Secretary of Education issue guidance within sixty 142 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: days regarding House states can use federal formula funds to 143 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: support K through twelve educational choice initiatives. The Secretary of 144 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Education to include education freedom as a priority in discretionary 145 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: grant programs. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is 146 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: going to issue guidance within ninety days regarding Weather and House. 147 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: States receiving block grants for families and children from the Department, 148 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: including the Childcare and Development Block Grants, can use them 149 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: to expand educational choice and support families who choose educational 150 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 1: alternatives to government entities, including private and faith based options. 151 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: So in translation, what Donald Trump is saying is you, 152 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 1: the parents, should decide where you want to put your kids. 153 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: You should be able to put them in the best school, 154 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: private school, or religious school, and you shouldn't be stuck 155 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: in a failing school. This is good for all Americans, 156 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: every kid, regardless of your religious beliefs and or your 157 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: political beliefs. And that is the point that Donald Trump 158 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: is saying. We're going to start on immediately. I want 159 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: to give you a quick update on the investigation the 160 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: tragic DC airline crash, and I want to go back 161 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: to March of twenty twenty three. There are moments that 162 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: happen and then when a tragedy hits, you go back 163 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 1: to him and you're like, oh, this is what happens 164 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: when you have incompetent people that are in charge of 165 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: hiring people for very complex positions. When there is failures, 166 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: there is massive catastrophic fallout. That is what we saw 167 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: with this helicopter that hit this plane in Washington, d C. 168 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,959 Speaker 1: At Reagan National Airport. So let me go back to 169 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: March of twenty twenty three. Center, Ted Cruz was asking 170 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,239 Speaker 1: the FAA nominee about what does he actually know about airplanes? 171 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: This is a woke DEI higher you could argue, and 172 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: I want you to hear how little he actually knew 173 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: about airplanes and flying. 174 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 7: You ever flowing a plane? 175 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 5: Thank you for the question, Senator. No, I have never 176 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 5: flown a plane, so. 177 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 8: You weren't a military pilot or a commercial airline pilot. 178 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,479 Speaker 7: No Center, have you ever worked for an airline? 179 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 5: No cenator. 180 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 8: Have you ever worked as an air traffic controller? No, Senator, 181 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,080 Speaker 8: have you ever worked for a company that manufactures airplanes? No, Senator, 182 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 8: you ever worked for a company that fixes airplanes? 183 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 5: No, cenator. 184 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 8: FA administrator is a specialized position. I'm not qualified to 185 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 8: be FA administrator. I've no idea how a flyplane. No 186 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 8: one in their right mind would put me in charge 187 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 8: of aviation safety because I don't have that experience. I 188 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 8: suspect most of the members of this committee are in 189 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 8: a similar position. The American people when they think about 190 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 8: aviation safety. When they think about I played in this 191 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 8: committee a Southwest Airlines and FedEx plane almost colliding at 192 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 8: Austin's Airport, they want an FA administrator who knows why 193 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 8: those planes crash and knows how to fix it to 194 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 8: keep them safe. And with all respect, mister Washington, it 195 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 8: gives no comfort to the flying public that their pilot 196 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 8: might be a transgendered witch but doesn't actually know how 197 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 8: to prevent the plane from crashing into the ground and 198 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 8: killing them. I believe your record is woefully lacking. 199 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,840 Speaker 2: Woefully lacking. 200 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: If this could be a Saturday Night Live skit, except 201 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: it's real life. Now you go back to the questions, right, like, 202 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 1: what other questions were asked? Let's go back Joe Biden's 203 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: pick to leave the FA couldn't answer a single question 204 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: about aviation as well. This was a question that was 205 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: asked by Senator bud Take a listen to. 206 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 9: This, mister Washington, can you quickly tell me what airspace 207 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 9: requires an ADSB transponder? 208 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 5: I'm not sure I can answer that question right now. 209 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 5: That's okay, We'll just keep going. 210 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 9: So that's a pretty important part. So what are the 211 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 9: six types of special use of airspace that protect this 212 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 9: national security that appere on FAA charts? 213 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 5: Sorry, Senator, I cannot answer that question. 214 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 9: So what are the operational limitations of a pilot flying 215 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 9: under basic MED. 216 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 5: Senator, I'm not a pilot. 217 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 9: So obviously you'd ever see that Federal Aviation Administration. So 218 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 9: any idea what those restrictions are under basic MED? 219 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 5: Quickly? Well, some of the restrictions I think would be 220 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: high blood pressure. Some of them would be it's. 221 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 9: More like how many passengers per airplane, how many pounds 222 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 9: in different categories, and what altitude you can find or so, 223 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 9: and then amount of knots. It's under two hundred and 224 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 9: fifty knots, so it's not having anything to do. 225 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 5: With blood pressure. 226 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 9: So can you tell me what causes an aircraft to 227 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 9: spin or to stall? Again? 228 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 5: Senator, I'm not a pilot. 229 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 7: Okay, let's keep going. 230 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 9: What are the three aircraft certifications FA requires as part 231 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 9: of the manufacturing process? 232 00:12:55,400 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 5: Quickly? Please? Three aircraft certifications Again. What I would say 233 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 5: to that is that one of my first priorities would 234 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 5: be to fully implement that Certification Act and report. 235 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 9: You know, the three types, mister Washington. The three types okay, Yeah, 236 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 9: that's type certificate, production certificate, and airworthiness certificate. Okay, all right, 237 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 9: let's just keep going, see if we can get lucky here. 238 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 9: So can you tell me what the minimum separation distance 239 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 9: is for landing into parting airliners during the daytime. 240 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 5: Mister Washington, I don't want to guess on that, Senator. 241 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 9: Are you familiar with the difference between Part one oh 242 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 9: seven and Part forty four eight oh nine when it 243 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 9: comes to unman aerial standards unman aarily unmanned like drones. 244 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 5: Are you familiar with? Yes? 245 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,240 Speaker 9: Yes, okay, you know the difference between those two Part 246 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 9: forty four eighth nine and Part one oh seven. 247 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 5: Do you know the difference there? No, I cannot. This's okay. 248 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: When you start putting people in positions of power based 249 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: on race, not based on qualifications, you get what you 250 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: just heard, people that are unqualified for a job. By 251 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: the way, I'm not a big fan of I got 252 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 1: you questions like for people that are up, I'm not. 253 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: There's questions you're can ask to try to make somebody 254 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: look stupid. These are not questions that were asked to 255 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 1: make them look stupid. You're wanting to be in charge 256 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 1: of the FAA. You're the man that Biden picked to. 257 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 2: Lead the FAA. 258 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: You should be able to answer the questions that the 259 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: FAA is involved with with safety, like that's your job. 260 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 2: That's something that you should be able to do. 261 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: So you fast forward to what happened the other night, 262 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: and now you understand why we may have gotten there. 263 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: Whether it's on the military side, or the or the 264 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: air drone control sided or I mean, there's a lot 265 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: of things here that could have gone wrong because we 266 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: decided in the military that DEI was more important than 267 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 1: the most qualified. We decided in the towers where the 268 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: traffic is controlled, it was more important to hire based 269 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: on something of DEI than it was to find the 270 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: best people for the job. You've got a guy that 271 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,239 Speaker 1: they said we want to leave the fa that couldn't 272 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 1: answer a single question about what's happening within the FAA, 273 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: which brings me to NBC News. NBC News is Tom 274 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: Costello came out with a breaking news report that the 275 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: FAA air traffic control boss let the supervisor leave early 276 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 1: before the mid air crash. NBC's Tom Costello covers aviation 277 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: for US. 278 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 7: He's at Reagan National again. He's got the very latest 279 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 7: this morning. 280 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 10: Tom Good morning, Savannah, Good Morning. A high level investigative 281 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 10: source tells me that they have now confirmed that an 282 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 10: FAA air traffic control supervisor in the tower here at 283 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 10: Reagan had allowed a supervisor to leave early, and as 284 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 10: a result, there was only one supervisor Wednesday night, handling 285 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 10: both helicopter traffic and plane traffic. Normally you would have 286 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 10: one dedicated to helicopters one dedicated to planes. Now, while 287 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 10: this is not optimal, it is allowed, but nonetheless that 288 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 10: will clearly be a part of this investigation. Air traffic 289 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 10: control staffing nationwide, as you know, has been an ongoing issue, 290 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 10: with the shortage of ten thousand controllers nationwide. It's been 291 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 10: a problem years in the making, and so now the 292 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 10: question is whether staffing in any way played a role 293 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 10: in this accident. In addition, I have also learned that 294 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 10: in fact air traffic part of me investigators are going 295 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 10: to be looking closely at the black box, if like 296 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 10: data recorder when they get it from that Blackhawk helicopter, 297 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 10: because that will tell them and give them a precise 298 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 10: reading on the altitude for that helicopter. There is evidence 299 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 10: that the chopper was higher than it should have been, 300 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 10: in fact, at the same altitude as that plane. Well's 301 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 10: going to be. Why was it at that altitude? Did 302 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 10: they have an alternative altimeter misfiring or miss misreading if 303 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 10: you will, inside the chopper that'll be part of this investigation. 304 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 10: I can also tell you the NTSB sent time with 305 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,720 Speaker 10: spent time with the families of the victims yesterday here 306 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 10: in the Washington area, briefing them on the status of 307 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 10: the investigation. And the NTSB has brought in its own 308 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 10: black Hawk helicopter pilot from Alaska who is an expert on. 309 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 2: The black Hawk. 310 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 10: He is employed by the NTSP, but they have brought 311 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 10: him into Washington to be their own eyes and ears, 312 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 10: and they're expert on the black Hawk. In addition to 313 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 10: the Defense Department's own investigative team that will be looking 314 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 10: into what happened on board that helicopter, and then separately 315 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 10: the NTSP of course looking into what. 316 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 7: Happened with the plane. 317 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 10: All of this now less than two days after this 318 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 10: horrific crash in which everybody on. 319 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 7: Board both aircraft were killed. 320 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: So to recap the FAA air traffic control boss let 321 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: the supervisor leave early before the mid air crash, and 322 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: as a result, there was only one supervisor Wednesday night, 323 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: handling both helicopter traffic and plane traffic. Something else that 324 00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 1: he said, air traffic control staffing nationwide as you know, 325 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,199 Speaker 1: has an on has been an ongoing issue with a 326 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: shortage of ten thousand air traffic controllers nationwide. Ten thousand short. 327 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: This was a recipe for miscommunication. It was a recipe 328 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: for disaster, and now we are seeing what happens when 329 00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: you put a radical DEI agenda and kumbai ism ahead 330 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: of efficiency. We should never been ten thousand agents short. 331 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 2: I want to move. 332 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: On to the FBI right now, and there are some 333 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: major shakeups underway as the Trump administration has made the 334 00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 1: decision to dismiss FBIA agents involved in investigations. 335 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 2: Concerning President Trump. 336 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: This underscores a commitment to revitalizing the nation's top law 337 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 1: enforcement agency so that it would not be weaponized against 338 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 1: anyone by addressing the perceived bias and ensuring that the 339 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,959 Speaker 1: FBI operates without political prejudice. The administration also says they 340 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: aim to restore public confidence and trust in our federal institutions. Now, 341 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: this initiative is part of a broader strategy the White 342 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,120 Speaker 1: House going to make clear to reform federal agencies promoting 343 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: accountability and efficiency. Now, the appointment of individuals like Cash 344 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 1: Pattel as the nominee for FBI, it reflects a dedication 345 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: to leadership that prioritizes integrity and transparency, which is exactly 346 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: what Cash talked about it his confirmation hearing. Patel has 347 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: pledged to protect FBI employees from political retribution and to 348 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: uphold the agency's policies and procedures. 349 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 2: Now. 350 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: By implementing these changes, the Trump administration is seeking to 351 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,400 Speaker 1: create a more efficient, they say, more effective, and impartial 352 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 1: federal workforce, ultimately benefiting the American public through enhance trust 353 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: in government operations. Now, Caspateel is a guy that actually 354 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: talked even before his confirmation hearing about how he was 355 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: targeted by the deep state and how big Tech helped 356 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,960 Speaker 1: to basically give all of his information without his knowledge 357 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: to the FBI. He was asked a question like who 358 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: runs these things, right, Like who's in charge? Where they 359 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: can just spy on any American and they can weaponize 360 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: the deep state of the federal government against people that 361 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 1: are actually serving their country because they don't like what 362 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 1: they're saying or what they're doing, or that they're conservative. 363 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 1: And I'm going to play this clip from you for 364 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 1: you because this was back in December. All right, listen carefully, 365 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: what Casptel says the government, the FBI, that he is 366 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: about to run what they did even to him because 367 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: he worked for Donald Trump. 368 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 11: To me, it is so who's at the end of it? 369 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 11: Is it a country? Is it us politicians? Is the 370 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 11: World Economic Forum? Where it's so well orchestrated, there has 371 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 11: to be an organizer, and so who is the organizer? 372 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 12: I don't think that there's one specific organizer. I think 373 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 12: there is a group of organizations that have participated in 374 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 12: it for a while. The World Economic Forum is a 375 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 12: piece of it. Certain politicians are a piece of it. 376 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 12: Certain people who become ags, Directors of the FBI, directors 377 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,040 Speaker 12: of the CIA, et c. 378 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 7: Are a piece of it. 379 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 12: And of course the mainstream media is a big component 380 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 12: of it. All of those entities partner up together to 381 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 12: take over Washington, DC, and instead of doing the job 382 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 12: for the American people, they come out instead come up 383 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,240 Speaker 12: with government boo doggles that pay them sells billions and 384 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 12: billions of dollars or their friends billions and billions of dollars, 385 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 12: which is our dollars, and they want to make sure 386 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 12: that that keeps going over and over and over. I'll 387 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 12: give you a perfect example. Who cares if you've ever 388 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 12: followed Russigate or any of this other stuff about the 389 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 12: deep state. Chris Ray, the director of the FBI, and 390 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 12: Rob Rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney General then of the DOJ, 391 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 12: were tasked with helping us at Congress, where I ran 392 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,479 Speaker 12: the Rushigate investigation to expose Russiagate. We went to them 393 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,719 Speaker 12: and said, look, you guys didn't do this, help us 394 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 12: expose it, and they both doubled down. 395 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 7: You know what they did. 396 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 12: They launched an investigation against me, the senior congressional investigator 397 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,159 Speaker 12: for Russigate on the House Intelligence Committee, and six other staffers. 398 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 12: They used grand jury subpoenas to get my personal information, 399 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 12: my banking information, my emails, my cell phone information, and 400 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,400 Speaker 12: everything else. I didn't find out till five years later 401 00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 12: when Google called me and said, hey, our five year 402 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 12: notification as lapsed. We can now tell you the DOJ 403 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 12: surveiled you, and we had to turn over documents so 404 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 12: that we exploded that into a federal lawsuit that's still 405 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 12: ongoing in the DOJNFBI. 406 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 7: But those two guys, hold on. 407 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 11: What So Google informed you that you're being surveilled five 408 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 11: years after the investigation started, right? 409 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:16,680 Speaker 6: What? 410 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 7: I mean, what more did they tell you. 411 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 12: They're not allowed to say anything, but that you can 412 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 12: be informed now since it's five years later. So as 413 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 12: a former assecurity prosecutor, I know you don't just go 414 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 12: to Google. You go to every provider, you go to 415 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 12: all the telecoms, you go to the bank, You got everybody. 416 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 7: If you're going to run investigation, that's what you do. 417 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 12: But these two guys who were running the FBIDJ sat 418 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 12: in a room with the Chairman of the House Intelligence 419 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 12: Committee and lied to our faces. They threatened to investigate us, 420 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 12: which was bad enough, right they actually did it, and 421 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 12: then these two guys would get exposed for Rob Rosenstein 422 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 12: specifically for signing a FIZA that was totally bogus. And 423 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 12: we've caught Chris Ray lying time and time again as 424 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 12: the director of the FBI. 425 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 7: Put these guys over here for a second. 426 00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 12: Gina Haspell, who was the director of the CIA, was 427 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 12: London station chief in England when Russiagate kicked off. Under 428 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 12: the rule of law in America, if you want the 429 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 12: Federal Burea of Investigation to launch an investigation overseas, you 430 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 12: have to get permission from the head and tel rep 431 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:15,880 Speaker 12: in the England. 432 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 7: It's excuse me, the station chief. 433 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 12: So she allowed Russiagate to occur on British soil where 434 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 12: there was a barroom operation to try to record some 435 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 12: nub into spilling the beans on Donald Trump, and they 436 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 12: would use that to launch the whole Russiagate offensive. Gina 437 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 12: Haspital would later become Trump's CIA director. And then when 438 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 12: these guys got out of the administration, Dono Wor, Gina Haspel, 439 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 12: and Rod Rosenstein worked today at Christopher Ray's old law 440 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 12: firm as senior named partners, making seven and eight figures. 441 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: You want to know why they're so afraid of Cash Bettel. 442 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: This is why, because they did a Cashtel the same 443 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 1: thing they did on Trump, the same thing they did 444 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: to anybody else that got in their way. Cashptel was 445 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: just telling you there. It was like they didn't even 446 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: tell me until five years later that I was a 447 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: target that they came after me. I mean, Cashpatel was 448 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 1: in the National Security Division doing discovery for the for 449 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: Benghazi when they found out Hillary Clinton's secret email. By 450 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: the way, a lot of people don't know that either. 451 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 1: You want to know again, why they're so afraid of Cashpatel. 452 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 1: This is why, this is why they don't want him 453 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: at the FBI. This is why the media is coming 454 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: out against him. This is why Democrats are losing their 455 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,919 Speaker 1: minds because they understand just how dangerous Cashpatel is to 456 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 1: reform the FBI. Because the FBI spied on cash Battel, 457 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: secretly vacuumed up his emails, as phone records, as bank records. 458 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 2: They did it all folks. 459 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: They don't want that guy, and they're going, all right, 460 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: let's go see what else they did that was illegal 461 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 1: to other Americans. I go back to Benghazi for a second. 462 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,480 Speaker 1: Benghazi still matters to me because it's about government corruption 463 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: and cover. On the anniversary of nine to eleven, take 464 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 1: a listen to what he said about that. 465 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 12: For his participation in Benghazi where he killed four Americans, 466 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 12: he'll be out of prison before the next presidential election 467 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 12: is done. 468 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 7: Are you serious? Yeah? 469 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 12: And he put him in his sock draw It's called 470 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 12: the Clinton sock drawer case. They went to federal court 471 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 12: the government, and the federal court adjudicated that no reasonable 472 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 12: prosecutor would bring this case. I was in the National 473 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 12: Security Division at the time. I was doing the discovery 474 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 12: for Benghazi where we found her freaking email people in 475 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 12: government like places like the FBI and senior leaders positions 476 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 12: and DJ making prosecutorial decisions based on a political election. 477 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 5: You know. 478 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 12: My first big instance of that was Benghazi. I was 479 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 12: I was the main justice lead prosecutor for Benghazi for 480 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 12: kid and. 481 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 7: I remember it's meeting. 482 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 12: With then ag holder and we had a deck of 483 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 12: like nineteen guys who wanted to prosecute you know, Jay 484 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 12: Sock had him rolled up, and we wanted to get 485 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 12: them all. They killed four Maria you know, it's a 486 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 12: legit terrorist attack. And the basic general response from the 487 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 12: FBIDO Jay leadership was Wow, it's only politically convenient to 488 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 12: get one guy, And they went and got basically the 489 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 12: wrong guy. And then we prosecuted that wrong guy. Not 490 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 12: that he wasn't a part of it, he just wasn't 491 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 12: like the top tier of guys I would have gone after. 492 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 12: And they screwed up the prosecution because they didn't listen 493 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 12: to us and they didn't want to use the right evidence. 494 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 7: And it was all political decisions. What do you mean 495 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,160 Speaker 7: they didn't want to use the right evidence. 496 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 12: They wanted to you know, because half of that stuff 497 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,159 Speaker 12: was classified and they wanted to. I didn't piece this 498 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 12: together then because we didn't have the whole fallout from Benghazi, 499 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,920 Speaker 12: the hearings and the congressional review that would. 500 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 7: Take time to come in. 501 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 12: But they wouldn't let us prosecute I think sixteen of 502 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 12: the nineteen that I wanted, they didn't want half this 503 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 12: evidence declassified. And I was like, what they Well, the 504 00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 12: leadership a DOJFBI in the intel community obviously played a 505 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 12: role in that, and so you know, we were just like, 506 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,919 Speaker 12: all right, we'll do the best we can. And for example, 507 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,720 Speaker 12: Katala H. Greenbrier River, the guy that's getting that first 508 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 12: got prosecuted. He is getting out for his participation in 509 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,240 Speaker 12: Benghazi where he killed four Americans. He'll be out of 510 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,240 Speaker 12: prison before the next presidential election's done. 511 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: You listen to everything that he just described with Benghazi, 512 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 1: and there was a consistency of the deep state. If 513 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: they were told to make someing go away, they did it. 514 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: If they were told to lie, they lied. If they 515 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 1: were told to investigate a political opponent of the White House, 516 00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: they did it. If they were told to raid the 517 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: president's home, they did it. This was all part of 518 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 1: the deep state. Doing whatever they could do, okay, whatever 519 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: they could do to shut down in silence their political 520 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: reporters three to one their political opponents. Now, let me 521 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: also give you some news that has just broken, and 522 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,120 Speaker 1: I want you to understand this is huge. The White 523 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: House has just announced the release of eight additional hostages 524 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: from Hamas captivity. Here's the White House pre Secretary making 525 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: the announcement. 526 00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 13: I also do have news on the hostage front, which 527 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 13: I'm very surprised nobody asked about this because it is 528 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,480 Speaker 13: big news story. And the White House applauds the release 529 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 13: of eight additional hostages from Hamas captivity. Thanks to the 530 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 13: ceasefire deal secured by President Trump, three Israeli and five 531 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 13: Thai nationals are being reunited with their families and their 532 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 13: loved ones after being held in unspeakable conditions for over 533 00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 13: fifteen months. And the President remains committed to the release 534 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 13: of all remaining hostages. 535 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 7: And they should have never. 536 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,400 Speaker 13: Been taken by the brutal terrorist group Hamas in the 537 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 13: first place. And I think President Trump's working meeting with 538 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 13: the Israeli Prime Minister next week emphasizes his continued support 539 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 13: for Israel and ensuring that brutal terrorists in that region 540 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 13: have hell to pay. 541 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 2: Have hell to pay. 542 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 1: I love being able to end the show with some 543 00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: really good news and the release of eight additional hostages 544 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: from Hamas captivity thanks to the ceasefire deal secured by 545 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: President Trump.
