1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,760 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,480 Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, Senator, 3 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 2: We've got a lot to chat about, including words like 4 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 2: MAGA and buying a Bible or going shopping at Dick's 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 2: Sporting Goods could actually get you on a watch list 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: with financial institutions in the US government. 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:17,799 Speaker 1: We're going to deal with that. 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: Also, they're admitting now four years late that the Hunter 9 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 2: Byden laptop is actually real. 10 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 1: Yes, the DJ doing that. We're going to deal with that. 11 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: But before we get to that, I want to break 12 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 2: some news, and that is this, Senator, you decided that 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,919 Speaker 2: it was time to lead on an amicus brief on 14 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 2: behalf of Donald Trump with the case that involves Colorado 15 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: and that Supreme Court removing him from the state's twenty 16 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:49,200 Speaker 2: twenty four ballot. Not only did you file this amicus brief, 17 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 2: but you were able to get more than one hundred 18 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 2: and seventy lawmakers to sign on. This is significant, and 19 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: yet a lot in the media are acting like this 20 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,240 Speaker 2: didn't actually happen. Walk us through how important this amicates 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 2: brief is and exactly the basis legal basis for why 22 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 2: you decided to do this. 23 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 3: Well, we've talked at length about the Colorado Supreme Court 24 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 3: decision throwing Donald Trump off the ballot, and the combination 25 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,679 Speaker 3: of Colorado and the main Secretary of State, I think, 26 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: without hyperbole, is the greatest assault on democracy we've seen 27 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: in our lifetimes. These are partisan, leftist democrats who are 28 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: issuing rulings saying the voters should not be allowed to 29 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 3: vote for Donald Trump. Mind you, these are democrats who 30 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 3: posture all day long about how much they believe in democracy, 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: how they're defending democracy. And nothing says defending democracy better 32 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 3: than stopping the voters from voting for your opponent. I mean, 33 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 3: it is an absolute assault. So yesterday I filed an 34 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 3: amicus brief on behalf of one hundred and seventy nine 35 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 3: members of Congress. So I led the brief in the Senate. 36 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: Steve Scalise, the majority leader in the House, let it 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 3: in the House. And our brief is supporting Donald Trump, 38 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: and it's urging the Supreme Court to reverse the decision 39 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: of the Colorado Supreme Court. As we've talked about it 40 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 3: at length, and by the way, if you did not 41 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 3: listen to our podcast a couple of weeks ago, doing 42 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 3: a deep dive on the Colorado Supreme Court case. You 43 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: should because it is substantive analysis that you will not 44 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 3: get on CNN, you will not get an MSNBC, you 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 3: will not get anywhere else. But this brief lays out 46 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 3: the legal arguments, and we filed it yesterday with forty 47 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: six Senators and a total of one hundred and seventy 48 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 3: nine members of Congress. And it is the main arguments 49 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 3: we make. We make number one that under the language 50 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 3: of the Fourteenth Amendment and Section three, that it does 51 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 3: not prohibit Donald Trump from being a candidate. And we 52 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 3: argue that federal legislation is required under the Fourteenth Amendment 53 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: in forced section and that has not been enacted. We 54 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: argue that that removing a candidate from the ballot denies 55 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: Congress the power to remove a Section three disability. So 56 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: under the text of the fourteenth Amendment, it says someone 57 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: who participates in an insurrection engages in an insurrection is 58 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: ineligible from serving an office. But then it says Congress 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: may vote to remove that disability. And we pointed out look, 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 3: if the Colorado Supreme Court removes Trump from the ballot, 61 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 3: that takes away Congress's ability to vote on the issue. 62 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: And decide it. And we argue beyond that that the 63 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 3: question of whether Section three applies is what's called a 64 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: political question. A political question is something that the courts 65 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 3: cannot and will not decide, but that is instead left 66 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 3: to the elected and political bodies in our country, that 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 3: it's left to Congress. Beyond that, we argue that under 68 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: the text, in terms of the Fourteenth Amendment, Section three 69 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: does not apply to former President Trump, that it applies 70 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: to other members of the federal government, to lesser officers, 71 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: but not to the president, not to the vice president. 72 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 3: And finally, and this is a really important argument that 73 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 3: we make, we argue that the Colorado Supreme Court's decision 74 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 3: lacks neutral principles, and if it's upheld, it would lead 75 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 3: to widespread deballoting of political opponents. In other words, if 76 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 3: the Colorado decision is upheld, you will see Democrats all 77 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 3: across the country removing Republicans from the ballot. And you 78 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: will see in a tit for tat republicans moving Democrats 79 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 3: from the vallet. And that is bad for this country. 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: It's bad for democracy. It's not the rule of law. 81 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 3: It is a terrible outcome. And so what one hundred 82 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: and seventy nine of us came together yesterday to say, 83 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: is the Supreme Court should reverse this? And as you 84 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 3: and I have talked about, I believe it is incredibly important. 85 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 3: I think it's a very real chance that the Supreme 86 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: Court will reverse this unanimous. I hope and pray that 87 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 3: they do, because I don't want to see a partisan divide, 88 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 3: a six to three decision where the press can say, oh, 89 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 3: all the Republicans voted one way, all the Democrats voted 90 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 3: the other way. I think a unanimous decision saying the 91 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 3: voters are going to decide the next president. It's not 92 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 3: going to be partisan Democrats, it's not going to be judges. 93 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: It's going to be the voters of the people of America. 94 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: I think a unanimous decision saying that would be incredibly 95 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 3: important for the country, incredibly important for the rule of law, 96 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 3: and incredibly important for the Supreme Court. 97 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: I got to go back to a question about this 98 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: amicus brief and just talking about the one hundred and 99 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 2: seventy plus lawmakers that you're able to sign on to 100 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,600 Speaker 2: that that is not saying you hear very often for anything. 101 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 2: How willing were others And I'm assuming very willing to 102 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: jump on board so quickly with this amicus brief, and 103 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 2: how significant will that be for those at the Supreme 104 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 2: Court who will be reading this. 105 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: Well, look, remember this case was set for very expedited schedule. 106 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 3: So the argument is February eighth, which is just a 107 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 3: couple of weeks from now, and we had just about 108 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: a week to draft this brief. And so I directed 109 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 3: as soon as the Court took the case, I directed 110 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: my team, let's draft a brief. This is the most 111 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: important opportunity to defend democracy we've had in our country, 112 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 3: and I wanted us to lead. So I got our 113 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: team drafting the brief. We drafted it, We had it 114 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: prepared two days ago, and so two days ago we 115 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: circulated it to other members of Congress. What I did 116 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: yesterday is I went to the Republican Study Committee, which 117 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 3: is the largest conservative group in the House, and I 118 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 3: went there and I talked about the amicus brief, and 119 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 3: Steve Scalise has circulated it. But I talked to about 120 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty House members and I said, look, 121 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 3: this is incredibly important. This is a defensive democracy. We 122 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: all ought to stand together, and that I think helped 123 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 3: produce a lot of the House members who joined us. 124 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: And then at our Senate lunch. You know we've talked 125 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 3: about before when the senators in session, all the Senate Republicans, 126 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,279 Speaker 3: we have lunch together every Tuesday, every Wednesday, every Thursday. 127 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: And so I stood up at Wednesday's lunch and I 128 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 3: told everyone, I said, look, we've circulated this brief. It 129 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: is incredibly important. I'd like for all of us to 130 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 3: be united. And it's a very quick timeframe. I said, look, 131 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 3: we circulated on Tuesday. We needed an answer by Wednesday night, 132 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: and so people had to decide very quickly. Usually you 133 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 3: have more time because the Supreme Court, when its schedules 134 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: an argument, you have much more time. But this is 135 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: an incredibly accelerated appeal. And we ended up getting out 136 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 3: of forty nine Republicans, we got forty six Republican senators, 137 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 3: so all but three joined the brief in a day 138 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: and a half, and so I was very glad to 139 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: see a total of one hundred and seventy nine members 140 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 3: of Congress come together. 141 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian 142 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider. And when I say only, I mean it. 143 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,640 Speaker 2: They are the only one. Patriot Mobile is a fabulous 144 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: supporter of this show, which is why I'm proud to 145 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: partner with him, and I have been now. 146 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: For almost a decade. 147 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile offers you, as a conservative, two things that 148 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: are going to be very important. Number one, dependable nationwide coverage, 149 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: giving you the ability to access all of the major 150 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 2: network towers that you're using right now, which means you 151 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: get the same coverage that you've been accustomed to. But 152 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 2: the most important thing is without funding the left. Now, 153 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: when I say fund the left, you may say, what 154 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 2: do you mean. You may not realize just how much 155 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: Big Mobile actually hates you and your family values, your faith, 156 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: and how much they're giving to plan parenthood. 157 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: That's why I switched to Patriot Mobile. And when I 158 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: look down at my phone. 159 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 2: I see Patriot up in the upper left hand corner, 160 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 2: and I know that every time that I'm sending a message, 161 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: every time I'm on that phone, I am supporting with 162 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 2: my dollars an organization that supports free speech, religious freedom, 163 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: the sancty of life, Second Amendment, as well as our 164 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: military veterans and first responder heroes. 165 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: They have a one hundred. 166 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 2: Percent US based customer service team, which makes switching easy. 167 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 2: I just had to switch over a phone the other day. 168 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 2: It was easy. When I say easy, I mean easy. 169 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 2: You get to keep your same cell phone number you 170 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 2: have right now.

Our last question on this brief, explain 187 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 2: a little bit of what the court is going to 188 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: be looking at with these amicus briefs. There are a 189 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: lot of them that are obviously being written because it's 190 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 2: such a big issue. 191 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: How do they prioritize them? 192 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 2: And does if an amicus brief is read by one justice, 193 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 2: is it read by all of them? 194 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 1: How does that work? 195 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: So amicus briefs are read by all nine justices, And 196 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 3: what will happen is all of the briefs in the 197 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 3: case are sent to all nine justices. They will get 198 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 3: briefs from the petitioner, who is the person who's appealing. 199 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: They will get a merits brief from the respondent, who 200 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 3: is the person who prevailed below, and they will get 201 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 3: a reply brief from the petitioner. And then beyond that, 202 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,839 Speaker 3: you will have amicus briefs supporting one party, supporting the 203 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 3: other party, and you'll have some amicus briefs supporting neither party. 204 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 3: And in a case, in a given case, you could 205 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 3: have a lot of amicus briefs. I've when I was 206 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 3: clerking at the court, I had where we had as 207 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: many as like fifty sixty seventy amicus briefs, so lots 208 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: of people. Amicus is short for amicus curier, which is 209 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 3: Latin for friend of the Court, and so an amicus 210 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 3: brief is a brief that is filed by someone who's 211 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 3: not a party but that wants to share their views 212 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: and believe they're relevant to the issues before the court. 213 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: I don't know how many amicus briefs were filed before 214 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,200 Speaker 3: the Court in this case, will know shortly from the 215 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 3: docket sheet. But to get a brief from one hundred 216 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 3: and seventy nine members of Congress is a big deal. 217 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 3: That is unusual, that happens very rarely. 218 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: When you say rarely, I'm trying to go back in 219 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 2: history and remember any time where I've heard something like 220 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 2: this when it comes to Supreme Court. I can't think 221 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 2: of one. And I think that's one of the reasons 222 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: why I am so excited that you did this, and 223 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: also excited that many people also understood the urgency of this. 224 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: And as you described it, having a Nino decision is 225 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: good for America. 226 00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: It's not a political decision. 227 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: It's good for this country on so many different levels 228 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 2: that you can't just take political opponents off the ballot. 229 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: And that's clearly your goal here. 230 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 3: That's exactly right. And look, I filed a lot of 231 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 3: amicus briefs for the Supreme Court in the Senate, particularly 232 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 3: on religious liberty. And typically when I file an amicus brief, 233 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,839 Speaker 3: I get oh, ten to fifteen senators, and by the 234 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 3: way those briefs get read, they get considered. We've tried 235 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 3: to write serious briefs. Actually, I've written several amicus briefs 236 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 3: along with Mike Johnson, who is now the Speaker of 237 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,319 Speaker 3: the House, but before he was, he was just a 238 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 3: member of the House who had been a religious liberty 239 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 3: constitutional lawyer, and so he and I teamed up multiple times. 240 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 3: Mike Johnson joined this brief, but he and I teamed 241 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 3: up multiple times. But typically, you know, i'd get like 242 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 3: I said, ten to fifteen twenty senators on board a brief, 243 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 3: and that was significant. To get forty six senators, to 244 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 3: get a total of one hundred and seventy nine members 245 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 3: of Congress, that is unusual. I've had moments so back 246 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: two decades ago, when I was the Solicitor General of Texas, 247 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,439 Speaker 3: we had a case concerning the Pledge of Allegiance where 248 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 3: an atheist living out in California, guy named Michael Newdow 249 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 3: filed a lawsuit arguing that it violated the Constitution for 250 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 3: the words one Nation under God to be in the 251 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: Pledge of Allegiance. And amazingly enough, this atheist one in 252 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 3: the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit has 253 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 3: consistently been the most liberal court of appeals in the country. 254 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 3: And the Ninth Circuit ruled it violated the establishment clause 255 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 3: of the First Amendment to have the words one Nation 256 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: under God in the Pledge of Allegiance. That went up 257 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 3: an appeal to the US Supreme Court, and I was 258 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 3: Solicitor General of Texas at the time. I drafted an 259 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: amicust brief that ended up being joined by all fifty states. 260 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 3: It's the only one I know of that every single 261 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 3: state joined. And we defended the Pledge of Allegiance. And 262 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 3: I'll tell you at the very end, when we had 263 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: about forty eight, I got on the phone with the 264 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: sgs and in the states that were holdouts, and they 265 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 3: were kind of arguing back and forth, and I said, look, 266 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 3: you know, if your attorney general wants to be the 267 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 3: only attorney general in the country that doesn't support the 268 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 3: Pledge of Allegiance, all right, I mean that's I commend 269 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 3: you for your courage. I'm not sure it's wisdom, but 270 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 3: it is certainly brave. And so you know, stand up 271 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: and tell your voters to go jump in a lake. 272 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 3: That that's really bold. And the last couple said, you 273 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 3: know what, we'll join this brief too, and so we 274 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 3: had fifty there. Anytime you get this many on board, 275 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 3: it takes personal advocacy, and I don't think it would 276 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 3: have happened in this brief had I not gone to 277 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: the House and made the case directly to House members, 278 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 3: and had I not stood up at the Senate lunch 279 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: and made the case directly to my Senate colleagues. 280 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: I want to move Senator also to this other really 281 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 2: shocking story, and it just shows you how bad our 282 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: government has become. And I'm talking about the deep state 283 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 2: here with the FEDS targeting conservatives with alarming new surveillance. 284 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 2: The FEDS asked banking institutions to search private transactions without 285 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 2: any type of warrants for terms like maga trump or 286 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: other words that dealt with things that were biblical purchases. 287 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: That can include a Bible. 288 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 2: Also, keywords that they said that they suggested that banks 289 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: look for in transactions would be things like sporting goods stores, 290 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 2: like Dick Sporting Goods, Kabella's Bass pro Shop in More. 291 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 2: This is such an abuse of power and a weaponization 292 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 2: of the federal government on the American people. When I 293 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: hear this, I want to know, how is this not 294 00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: breaking the law to be able to do this without 295 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: there being any probable cause or warns where they can 296 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 2: just go to my bank and say, hey, if any 297 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 2: of these things are there, we want to know about it. 298 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 3: Look, this is an enormous abuse of power. It is 299 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 3: an enormous violation of the privacy of Americans. This happened 300 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 3: the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan released the documents that 301 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 3: they got from the Treasury Department. And this all happened 302 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 3: after January sixth, twenty twenty one. So after January sixth, 303 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 3: you had Joe Biden in power, and these zealots said, 304 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 3: we are going to target our political enemies. We have 305 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 3: the entire federal government as a weapon. We are going 306 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: to go after them. And this was driven by the 307 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 3: Treasury Department's Office of Stakeholder Integration and Engagement in the 308 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 3: Strategic Operations of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. And it's 309 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 3: called Finnsen is the acronym, and it distributed materials to 310 00:16:52,960 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 3: financial institutions that outlined quote typologies of quote various persons 311 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 3: of interest. Now, those typologies included anyone using the term Trump, 312 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 3: anyone using the term maga. And they said, these are 313 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 3: people more likely to be quote loan actor, homegrown, violent extremists. 314 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 3: And according to the Judiciary Committee's analysis, Finnsen wanted this 315 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 3: is a quote Finnsend wanted financial institutions of extremism indicators 316 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:38,880 Speaker 3: that include transportation charges such as bus tickets, rental cars, 317 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 3: plane tickets for travel areas with noparent purpose, or the 318 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:50,120 Speaker 3: purchase of books, including religious texts, and subscriptions to other 319 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 3: media containing extremist views. Now what kind of religious books. Well, 320 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 3: among them was the Bible. If you went and bought 321 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,960 Speaker 3: the Bible, the Biden Treasury Department was reporting that, Okay, 322 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 3: we think you're in danger of being a terrorist because 323 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 3: you purchased the Bible. So if if you had any 324 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 3: financial transaction that included the word Trump or maga, they 325 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 3: thought you were in danger of being a terrorist. If 326 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 3: you bought the Bible, you were in danger of being 327 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 3: the terrorist. And they also instructed financial institution to query 328 00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:32,919 Speaker 3: for transactions using certain codes like small arms and that 329 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 3: that is an MCC code of three four eight four. 330 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 3: Or Sporting and Recreational goods in supply that's an MCC 331 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 3: code of five zero nine to one and the keywords 332 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 3: and this is what Treasury specified. Cabella's, Dick Sportings Goods, 333 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: and Bass Pro Shop. And I'll point out Dick Sporting 334 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 3: good in the middle of all the Democrat efforts to 335 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: engage in gun control came out rather loudly against the 336 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 3: second amendments. So as for me, I don't go to 337 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,159 Speaker 3: Dick's Sporting's Goods, but bess Pro Shops and Cabela's are 338 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 3: both fantastic institutions, and if you shop there, the Biden 339 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 3: administration wanted to know because if you go to bess 340 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 3: Pro Shops, they think you're a likely terrorists. It's outrageous. 341 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 2: It's also, I think shocking how easily people were giving 342 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 2: up this information. Why is it that we now find 343 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: out that so many businesses are willing to just say 344 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 2: here's everything when they're asked, not say hey, we'd get 345 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 2: a warrant for this or show me some actual paperwork. 346 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 2: It seems that almost all of these companies are complicit 347 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 2: saying we're more than happy to help you invade on 348 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 2: the privacy of our customers. From a standpoint you just 349 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 2: mentioned of Dick's Sporting Goods. When I look at companies 350 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 2: that do this, I say, I'm never wanting to go 351 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 2: there again, certainly not with a credit card. 352 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: Yep. 353 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 3: So it's not clear that the retailers we're engaged in 354 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 3: this process. So it's not clear that Cabela's, are Dick 355 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 3: Sporting good or Beast Pro shops were participating. This was 356 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 3: directed at banks, and listen, banks. Banks are massively regulated 357 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 3: by the federal government. They are dealing literally every day 358 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 3: with their federal regulators. The federal government has enormous power 359 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: over banks, and so I understand from a bank's perspective, 360 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: Treasury is leaning on them and saying we want this information. 361 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 3: The federal government has the ability to shut down a bank, 362 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 3: to destroy a bank's business if they disagree with you. 363 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:38,800 Speaker 3: And so it is an area where for big state 364 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 3: leftists that want to know everything about your personal life. 365 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: Banks are a real vulnerability because every one of us, 366 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 3: if you're dealing with modern life, if you're depositing a 367 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 3: paycheck in your bank account, if you're paying your bills 368 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 3: with a bank account, if you have a credit card, 369 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,239 Speaker 3: your financial records detail what you're spending money on. And 370 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 3: by the way, the left, just like communist China, wants 371 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 3: to know every single thing you spend money on. You know, 372 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 3: one of the very first versions of the build Back 373 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: Broke bill, they called it build back Better, but I 374 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 3: think build Back Broke defined it more accurately. One of 375 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 3: the earliest versions required banks to report to the federal government. 376 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 3: So if you're making a car payment, if you're making 377 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 3: a rent payment, you know, we're not quite there, but 378 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,159 Speaker 3: we're not far away from. If you're filling up your 379 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 3: tank with gas, you had to report to the federal government. 380 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:38,159 Speaker 3: And for leftist Elizabeth Warren and President she and China 381 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 3: both want to know every single thing you spend a 382 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 3: penny on. And this is an example of the Treasury Department. 383 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 3: Janet Yellen, you know George Orwell's nineteen eighty four talked 384 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: about big brother. Janet Yellen is perfectly happy to be 385 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 3: big sister and try to gather as much information about 386 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 3: your personal financial transactions as humanly possible. 387 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 2: What will the outcome be of this, I guess you 388 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 2: could say new investigation and is there any way to 389 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: stop this from happening in the future, or as long 390 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 2: as the Biden administration's in power, can they continue to 391 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: get away with this abuse of power? 392 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 3: Well, look, we can have congressional oversight, and we will 393 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 3: and the House will engage in it because the House 394 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 3: has a majority, and so they can hold hearings. In 395 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 3: the Senate, no Democrat cares. So in the Senate, we 396 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 3: will not have a single hearing on this. Why because 397 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 3: the consequence of having a majority in the Senate is 398 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 3: whoever has the majority has the committee chairman. So I 399 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 3: am the ranking member on the Senate Commerce Committee. That 400 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 3: means I'm the senior Republican on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, 401 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 3: and Transportation. That's a committee that has jurisdiction over forty 402 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 3: percent of the US economy. It's an enormously consequential committee. 403 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: As the ranking member, I have the ability to fight 404 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 3: hard for jobs and economic growth in the state of Texas, 405 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 3: and I do that across the country and I do 406 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 3: that every day. But what I don't have the ability 407 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 3: to do is I can't convene a hearing. Only the 408 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 3: chairman can convene a hearing. So in the Senate. There 409 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: is literally not a single Democrat that gives a dam 410 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: that the Biden administration is violating your privacy by engaging 411 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 3: in the searches because they all of them, they hate 412 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 3: Donald Trump so much that they've been radicalized, and they 413 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 3: believe it's perfectly justifiable to weaponize the federal government. So 414 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 3: you ask, what can Congress do. Look, if we had 415 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 3: control of both bodies, we could pass legislation to stop this. 416 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 3: Under a Chuck Schumer Democrat Senate. They're not going to 417 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 3: pass legislation to stop it. No Democrat will support it. 418 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 3: So that means we can do oversight. I can write letters, 419 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 3: I can give speeches, I can shine a light on it. 420 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 3: I can do this podcast. But I can't convene a 421 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:53,879 Speaker 3: hearing of the Judiciary Committee because Dick Durbin, the chairman, 422 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 3: won't do it. I can't pass legislation because no Democrat 423 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 3: will support. And so at this point, elections have consequences, 424 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 3: and as long as we're in the minority, what I'm 425 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: limited to be able to do on something like this 426 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 3: an abuse of power of the Biden administration is shine 427 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 3: a light and do everything I can to encourage the 428 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 3: American people to be outraged at this and hold their 429 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 3: elected officials accountable for violating their privacy. 430 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: And clearly it should become an election year issue, especially 431 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 2: for conservatives this time around, because I think this is 432 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: the type of issue that will really connect with conservative 433 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 2: voters who say enough is enough and stop treating us 434 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: like we are terrorists just because we are conservatives. I 435 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 2: go back and remind people what they did to parents. 436 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,160 Speaker 2: It should up been school board meetings putting out those 437 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 2: FBI memos, treating them like their domestic terrorists. This is 438 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 2: the Democratic Party and their doj and what they will 439 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 2: do to conservatives. It's twenty twenty four and a lot 440 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: of us are trying to get our finances in order. 441 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: There are some great news for homeowners. Interest rates have 442 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 2: dropped and are now in the fives, a lot lower 443 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 2: than they were last year. So if you've been buried 444 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 2: in high interest credit card debt, now's the time to 445 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 2: break free. American Financing can help you access to cash 446 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 2: in your home to pay off your high interest debt. 447 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 2: Last year, their salary based mortgage consultants help customers save 448 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 2: an average of eight hundred and fifty four dollars a month. 449 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 2: That's like giving yourself a ten thousand dollars raise.

And if you 451 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: start today, you may be able to delay two mortgage payments. 452 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 2: Call American Financing Today eight at eight six seven five 453 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 2: forty ninety that's eight and eight six seven five forty 454 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: ninety or Americanfinancing dot net MLS eighteen twenty three thirty 455 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 2: four MLS Consumer Access dot org APR for the rates 456 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,160 Speaker 2: and the five start at six point four zero six 457 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 2: percent for well qualified borrowers.

Yeah, we already knew this, 463 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 2: and yet somehow we've finally gotten the admission of something 464 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 2: we all knew from the very beginning. Biden's Department of 465 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 2: Justice is admitting now that Hunter Biden's laptop is in 466 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: fact real. Four years after Biden's Laptop from Hell was 467 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 2: falsely labeled misinformation, the DOJ is admitting it's real. 468 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: We also knew at the time. They knew it was real, 469 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: and the FBI knew it was real. 470 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 2: And we also now know that those fifty plus leaders 471 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: in the intelligence community, they knew that it was real 472 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 2: when they lied to the American people to influence the 473 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: election in the last presidential cycle. 474 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: Your reaction to this. 475 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: Look, this is a stunning admission. It means Joe Biden 476 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 3: lied to the American people. Hunter Biden lied to the 477 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 3: American people. Just about every single elected Democrat in America 478 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 3: lied to the American people. Just about every single corporate 479 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 3: media outlet that repeated the Democrat talking points lied to 480 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: the American people. I want to read you what the 481 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 3: Biden Department of Justice just filed the federal court. This 482 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: is from a brief and the heading is, while investigating 483 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:33,119 Speaker 3: the defendant for tax violations, investigators obtained evidence showing his 484 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 3: prior gun purchase was illegal because he was addicted to 485 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 3: controlled substances. And here's the paragraph. In August twenty nineteen, 486 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 3: IRS and FBI investigators obtained a search warrant for tax 487 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 3: violation for defendant's Apple iCloud account. In response to that warrant, 488 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 3: in September of twenty nineteen, Apple produced backups of data 489 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 3: from various of the defendant's electronic devices that he had 490 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 3: backed up to his iCloud account. Investigators also later came 491 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 3: into possession of the defendant's Apple MacBook Pro, which he 492 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 3: had left at a computer store. A search warrant was 493 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 3: also obtained for his laptop, and the results of the 494 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 3: search were largely duplicative of information investigators had already obtained 495 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 3: for Apple. That means the Biden Department of Justice is 496 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 3: admitting the Hunter laptop is real. It was his laptop, 497 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,760 Speaker 3: he left it the repair station. The information on it 498 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 3: is accurate. They knew it was accurate. They knew it 499 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 3: was accurate in twenty nineteen. They knew it was accurate 500 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 3: because they had the information from Hunter Biden's Apple iCloud 501 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 3: account and it was the same thing. So they knew 502 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: it was real. And yet they did not make that public. 503 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: And Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and just about every 504 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 3: elected Democrat lied to the American people and said this 505 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: is not real, This is not his laptop, this is 506 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 3: Russian misinformation, this is planted by Vladimir Putin, and the media, 507 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 3: the corporate media was utterly complicit. They repeated it over 508 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: and over and over again. And by the way, to 509 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 3: the best of my knowledge, so we now have the 510 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 3: Biden DOJ saying every word they said was a lie. 511 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 3: I'm not aware of a single corporate media outlet that 512 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 3: has apologized that has retracted what they've said. The New 513 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 3: York Times, to the best of my knowledge, has not, 514 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,800 Speaker 3: The Washington Post has not, ABCNBCCBS is not, MSNBC has not, 515 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: CNN has not. They are perfectly happy to have lied 516 00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: to the American people. And by the way, lied to 517 00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 3: the American people in October of twenty twenty, right before 518 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,320 Speaker 3: the presidential election. They all lied to the American people. 519 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 3: And now the Biden DOJ has admitted it was a lie, 520 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,160 Speaker 3: and DOJ knew it was a lie then, and they 521 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 3: were perfectly happy with that lie being told to the 522 00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: American people. 523 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: We play the liar in chief. 524 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,120 Speaker 2: This is the then candidate Joe Biden at a president 525 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 2: to debate, standing next to Donald Trump, and I'll start 526 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 2: with this guy, and then you can hear him throughout 527 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 2: that entire campaign cycle. 528 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 4: Fifty former national intelligence folks who said that what this 529 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 4: he's accusing me of is a Russian plan. They have 530 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 4: said that this has all the four five former heads 531 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 4: of the CIA, both parties say what he's saying is 532 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 4: a bunch of garbage. This is classic Trump. We have 533 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 4: four days left and all of a sudden, there's a laptop. 534 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 4: There's overwhelming evidence that from the intelligence community that the 535 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 4: Russians are engaged, that the story from the fall of 536 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 4: Altri Sunbunder said yes, yes, yes, I know you'd ask it. 537 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 5: I have no response to another. 538 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 4: It's the lastest effort in this desperate campaign to smear 539 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 4: me and my family. The vast majority of the intelligence 540 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 4: people will have come out and said, there's no basis at. 541 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: All, no basis at all. Turns out he was lying 542 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 2: the entire time. By the way, he knew it was 543 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 2: the laptop of his son. He knew it wasn't Russian disinformation, 544 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 2: and hundred did too, and the DOJ knew it as well, 545 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 2: and the FBI knew as well. At this point, center, 546 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 2: how do you trust anything coming out of this FBI 547 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 2: and this DOJ. 548 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: If this is what they're doing in the process, you can't. 549 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 3: They've demonstrated that they're willing to be partisans, They're willing 550 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 3: to lie to the American people, and they don't feel 551 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 3: they have any obligation to the truth. I mean, this 552 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,520 Speaker 3: does enormous damage to the Department of Justice, the FBI, 553 00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 3: because they knew as a fact that what Biden was saying, 554 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: that what was being said public was a total lie. 555 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 3: And by the way, the fifty quote intelligence professional professionals. 556 00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 3: You know who organized that group? 557 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: Who was that? 558 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,000 Speaker 3: Tony Blincoln and Secretary Tilly. 559 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 2: Wickins job was then he was working for the Biden campaign. 560 00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,920 Speaker 3: He was working for the Biden campaign, and he got rewarded. 561 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 3: I get to say, as a president about the biggest 562 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 3: plum you have to offer is Secretary of State is 563 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 3: the most prestigious cabinet position. And for the job of 564 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 3: organizing all these intelligence officials to lie, every one of 565 00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 3: these fifty. By the way, a reporter, if there's any 566 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 3: honest reporter in America, they ought to ask every one of 567 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 3: these fifty you lied to the American people weeks before 568 00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 3: a presidential election. Are you embarrassed or do you apologize 569 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 3: to the American people? What did you do wrong to 570 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 3: cause you to lie to the American people? Did you 571 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 3: abuse their trust? Are you and shamed of your role? Now? 572 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,240 Speaker 3: I don't think there'll be a single reporter that asked 573 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 3: them that, because the corporate media participated the lies as well. 574 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 3: They're not embarrassed, they're not ashamed, and they're certainly not 575 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 3: going to ask the liars who participated in What is 576 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 3: you want to talk about election interference? This is blatant 577 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 3: election interference. 578 00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 2: Not only that, but it brings up a new lie. 579 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 2: It's one that represented James Comer was talking about on Hannity. 580 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 2: He had this to say about the new life from 581 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 2: Joe Biden and the Biden crime family, about. 582 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: The art that his son was selling. Take a listen. 583 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 6: Let me ask you about the other two issues the 584 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 6: stories that John Solomon was reporting on. One is the 585 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 6: art dealer and the testimony that was given. Were we 586 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 6: not told that they had an ethics agreement that Hunter 587 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 6: would not know the people that purchased his art. Now 588 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 6: we know that Joe Biden, the big guy himself, was 589 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,520 Speaker 6: speaking to the art dealer directly. That was testimony apparently 590 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 6: that you received. And what do you have to say 591 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 6: about the cocaine that the FBI knew about in twenty 592 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 6: eighteen as it relates to his gun holster. We have 593 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,880 Speaker 6: only about a minute left. 594 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 5: This is another major law that Joe Bidens told the 595 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,280 Speaker 5: American people. The White House said they had an agreement 596 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:57,760 Speaker 5: in place to provide maximum ethics. We really thought they 597 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 5: probably had something in place. It probably wasn't worth the 598 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 5: paper that it was written on. But we were shocked 599 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,280 Speaker 5: to learn from George Burgess in the transcribed interview that 600 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 5: he's never even heard from anyone from the White House. 601 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 5: He didn't know anything about an ethics agreement. He had 602 00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 5: never even seen in the news where there was an 603 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:16,240 Speaker 5: ethics agreement. So, you know, again, another live of Joe Biden, 604 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 5: another Live of the White House. Nothing is panting out 605 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 5: that Joe Biden said with respect to his family shady 606 00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 5: business teams. We're going to bring Hunter Biden in. We're 607 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 5: going to get answers from from all of these people. 608 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: They're going to get answers from all these people. 609 00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,279 Speaker 2: These are just some of the questions they're going to 610 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 2: get to ask in theory if he shows up Hunter Biden, 611 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 2: And I gotta imagine that if you're you know, any 612 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 2: one of these Republican congressmen are women that may get 613 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 2: to ask him questions, or James Comer, Jim Jordan, you've 614 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 2: got to be chomping at the bit to get answers. 615 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 3: Well, I got to say, we're really in an unusual 616 00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 3: moment of time. Listen, politicians are not known for tremendous honesty. 617 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 3: To put it mildly, but as a general matter, presidents 618 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 3: of the United States do not routinely lie to the 619 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 3: American people. And I'm not suggesting that's because all of 620 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 3: our presidents have been paragons of integrity. I think there 621 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,479 Speaker 3: have been presidents that would certainly have been willing to lie. 622 00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 3: But the reason presidents typically don't commit direct lies to 623 00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 3: the American people is they get caught. And when they 624 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,080 Speaker 3: get caught, it undermines their credibility and it hurts you. 625 00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 3: And most politicians, even if they're venal and self serving, 626 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 3: they don't want to get caught to lie because it 627 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:37,680 Speaker 3: hurts their credibility. The Biden presidency has been unique in 628 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 3: the history of our country, with the willingness of Joe 629 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 3: Biden and every person who works for him to lie 630 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 3: on a daily basis, over and over and over again 631 00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 3: and not spin. Look, everyone spins. I don't fault a 632 00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,799 Speaker 3: White House Democrat or Republican for spinning, for trying to 633 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 3: put a good twist on the facts. Straight out lies 634 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: things that are demonstrably absolutely false. What you just played 635 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 3: Joe Biden saying this laptop is Russian disinformation. He knew 636 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,279 Speaker 3: it was his son's laptop. His son knew it was 637 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,960 Speaker 3: his son's laptop. It was his son's laptop. It was 638 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 3: a flat out lie. There's not that that's not a 639 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:21,719 Speaker 3: matter of perspective. That's just blatantly false. Why is it 640 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:25,960 Speaker 3: that Joe Biden, unique among presidents, lies on seemingly a 641 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 3: daily basis to the American people? And the reason is 642 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:34,960 Speaker 3: because the American corporate media is broken. You want to 643 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 3: know who's responsible for Biden's lying. Jake Tapper, and you 644 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:41,799 Speaker 3: and I have talked about in my last book that 645 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,759 Speaker 3: just came out a couple of months ago, Unwoke, How 646 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 3: to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America. I have an entire 647 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 3: chapter I talk about the leftist takeover in major institutions. 648 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 3: I have an entire chapter on journalism, and I talk 649 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,920 Speaker 3: about how Jake Tapper used to be a journalist. He 650 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 3: used to care about truth, and then Trump broke Kim 651 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 3: and he is now a propaganda see is a shell 652 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,480 Speaker 3: of his former self. You know, Jake Tapper, you work 653 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,799 Speaker 3: for years for CNN. Jake Tapper knows that Biden is 654 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,640 Speaker 3: lying on a daily basis. And you know what Jake 655 00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 3: Tapper doesn't do, he doesn't call about. And the fact 656 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 3: that Jake Tapper behaves like a cheerleader and pretorian guard 657 00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:28,120 Speaker 3: for the White House, like a propagandist for the White House, 658 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:32,120 Speaker 3: like Pravda for the White House, it makes the White 659 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 3: House more and more likely to lie because they know 660 00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,440 Speaker 3: they will not get caught anywhere other than Fox News 661 00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 3: and right wing media and they don't care what they say. 662 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. It's going to be very 663 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:43,560 Speaker 1: interesting to see. 664 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 2: Also, how much of an election your issue this is 665 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,919 Speaker 2: and achilles heel for the president specifically because they're now admitting, yeah, 666 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,040 Speaker 2: they lied about all of it. And if that's what 667 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 2: you're admitting, how is that going to change things moving forward? 668 00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,760 Speaker 2: We're going to keep you updated on that.
