1 00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: Welcome and his verdict with Center Ted Cruz. The Week 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: in Review, Ben Ferguson with you. We had some big 3 00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: stories that you may have missed that we talked about 4 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 1: this week. First up, poll numbers helping Donald Trump get 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: his agenda done. Just how big are the poll numbers 6 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 1: for the president and what does it mean about the 7 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,079 Speaker 1: media who's still coming after him? Will break that down 8 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: for you. Also, Doe just come out and found four 9 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: point seven trillion in untraceable spending. Was it done deliberately 10 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: by the government so no one would know where your 11 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: tax dollars are going. Will break that down for you 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: as well. And finally, Pam Bondi, the Attorney General of 13 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: the United States of America, joins us, talking about the 14 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: relationship she has with other people in the administration and 15 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: just how important it is that they are friends and 16 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: working together. It's the weekend Review and it starts right now. 17 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: When I was at the Bush administration, we were on 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: the campaign. If you had a poll on something we 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: wanted that was above fifty three percent, that was like 20 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: a home run. If you were at fifty five percent 21 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: or above, it was like a mandate. I have not 22 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,319 Speaker 1: seen sixty percent polls like these in decades have you 23 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: on these types of issues? 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 2: And to see ABC reporting on it and you're right, 25 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 2: Jonathan carl is very dismayed to be reporting on it. 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: He's shaking his head. But a king Jefferies looks like 27 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: he's filming a hostage video. He's just terrified. Why are 28 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,040 Speaker 2: you asking me this? Because he doesn't want to say no, 29 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: I don't agree with Trump on anything, because when you're 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: on the wrong side of a bunch of sixty forty issues, 31 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 2: that's a recipe to lose elections. But he doesn't want 32 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 2: to say yes, I agree with Trump on anything because 33 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 2: his base hates Trump so much they'll lose their mind 34 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 2: and go nuts. So all he can say is, well, 35 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: it's just the beginning. I hope things will go wrong 36 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 2: and then then we can celebrate the things are going wrong. 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: It is astounding, astonishing. 38 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,680 Speaker 1: I should say that this is now where we are, 39 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: but this turns into what I call a man date, 40 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: a supermandate, and it just means keep going Trump, keep going. 41 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 3: Republicans. 42 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: What does this do to some of your colleagues who 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 1: maybe didn't want to go along with some of these 44 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: types of things when they see these poll numbers. Is 45 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: this going to make it easier to get things done 46 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: in Congress as well? I would hope so. 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 2: Well, it certainly should. And by the way, I'll tell 48 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 2: you historically, for the last four years, every Democrat voted 49 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: on the wrong side of these issues. On the question 50 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: of are there two sexes male and female? Every single 51 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: Democrat the Senate voted no over and over and over again. 52 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: On the question of deporting illegals, every Democrat and the 53 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: Senate voted no over and over and over again. On 54 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 2: the question of more oil and gas exploration, virtually every Democrat, 55 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 2: actually Joe Manchin would vote yes occasionally, Joe Manchin isn't 56 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 2: there anymore. So every Democrat that remains in the Senate 57 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 2: has voted no over and over and over again. On 58 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 2: the question of declaring an emergency on the Southern border, again, 59 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: every Democrat voted no. And so the Democrat Party, listen, 60 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 2: you're in a crisis. If you're on the wrong side 61 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: of sixty forty issues across the board. Well, that's how 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: you get the kind of election we had November. That's 63 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: how you get a president elected with more than three 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 2: hundred electoral votes. That's how you get a president who 65 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 2: of the seven swing states wins all seven. That's how 66 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 2: you get a Republican Senate and a Republican House. Because 67 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: the Democrats on the issues, they're not listening to the 68 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 2: American people. They're listening to the crazy fringe. And I 69 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: don't see a whole lot of indication that they're moving. 70 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: You know, It's a fascinating question, is are there Democrats 71 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 2: in the party who say, gosh, we've gotten so far 72 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: out of the mainstream, we're really we're really listening to 73 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 2: just a fringe. Let's get back to the middle. They're 74 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: one or two people saying that. But I got to say, 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 2: all right, I want you to listen to James Carville. 76 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 2: James Carvill is a Democrat through and through. Listen to 77 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: what James Carville had to say about his party just 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: just completely getting so extreme that they leave the American 79 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 2: people behind. He's really upset about it. Here are the 80 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 2: words Carville is quoted online is saying, we don't have 81 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: the audio, but we have the words. And look, I'll 82 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 2: give a warning. Carvill's language as always colorful that it 83 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 2: is here, but here's how he's quoted quote, I dedicated 84 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 2: the best years of my f and life to this party, 85 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: only to see it taken over by a bunch of 86 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: stupid mf ers. Everything's gone to s By the way, 87 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 2: he did not abbreviate any of those And if you 88 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: look at the tweet that is particularly circulating online, it 89 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: says Carvill is especially livid following the DNC leadership election, 90 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: reportedly saying quote, who are these people This David hog 91 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 2: guy and that other sissy referring to Malcolm Canyata come 92 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: out of the gd left field? Well there goes the 93 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 2: mail vote forever. Thanks guys, We're ft and we deserve it. 94 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 2: That's James Carville's assessment of where the Democrat Party is right. 95 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: Now based on the poll numbers that we're seeing. He's 96 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: not far off, by the way from reality. I mean, 97 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,119 Speaker 1: if he's an honest broker, I've known James for years, 98 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: you have as well, like he's This is the assessment. 99 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: I think he's spot on with where the Democratic Party is. 100 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: And they still don't seem to understand where that This 101 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: is how far they are away from the American people. 102 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: That's a blessing disguise for us. 103 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, that they are not listening to reality. But look 104 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: let's look at the facts. Let's take the facts, all right. 105 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: Here's a headline from the New York Post just a 106 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: couple of days ago. Quote, illegal border crossings hit record 107 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: low after Trump's swift crackdown and could be on track 108 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 2: for levels not seen in sixty years. Wow, the numbers 109 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: are stunning. So far in February, about three hundred and 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 2: fifty nine illegal migrants per day have been caught across 111 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 2: the entire southern border, down more than ninety percent nine 112 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: zero from February twenty twenty four. According to leaked Customs 113 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 2: and Border Protection data, that puts the US on track 114 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: to have the lowest monthly border crossings in at least 115 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,479 Speaker 2: twenty five years. If the trend continues, the number of 116 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 2: illegal migrants coming into the US could hit a level 117 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 2: not seen since nineteen sixty eight, nearly sixty years ago. 118 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 2: Here's a quote from Mark Krian, who runs the Center 119 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,559 Speaker 2: for Immigration Studies. It's the lowest the US has seen 120 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 2: quote in almost a lifetime. 121 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 3: Quote. 122 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 2: If you kind of break down the numbers, divide them 123 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: by three sixty five, we hadn't add numbers this low 124 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 2: since the nineteen sixties, So we're talking sixty year lows 125 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: if it's sustained. Obviously, the CPP data shows that just 126 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: three nine hundred and fifty three illegal migrants have been 127 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 2: caught this month through February eleventh. If that trend continues 128 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: through the month, that would put the February boarding crossings 129 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,679 Speaker 2: at roughly ten thousand, which is a number that hasn't 130 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: been seen since CPBB began tracking month to month data 131 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: in nineteen ninety nine, ten thousand. Under Biden, we were 132 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: getting ten thousand a day. We're on track for that 133 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 2: to be the total monthly traffic. And that's just in 134 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: the very first month. 135 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 3: It's a momentum thing, now right. 136 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean you've got to feel that, I'm sure on 137 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: Capitol Hill, which is we've just gotten started. The American 138 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: people are behind us, and we're recruiting a bigger audience 139 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: that's cheering this on each and every day. 140 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: Well, look this election, President Trump and Republicans in the 141 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 2: Senate and House promised the American people real results. And 142 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 2: you look at what was promised. Number one, we promised 143 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 2: we are going to secure the border. And remember repeatedly 144 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: Joe Biden said, first of all, he said the Border 145 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: of Security, said it over and over and over again. 146 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 2: People knew that was a lie, and then he said, well, 147 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 2: it's impossible to fix it. Look, I want you it's 148 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: up to Congress. I want you to listen to this 149 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 2: clip from the National Border Patrol Council Vice President talking 150 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: about Biden lying to the American people on this topic. 151 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 3: Give a listen. 152 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,559 Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting because down on the southern border 153 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 4: there has also been a dramatic reduction in the number 154 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 4: of people who are coming across the border. 155 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: I want to put up call for number four here. 156 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: This is a senior DHS official talking about that Chris 157 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 4: delivering consequences has results. Illegal crossings are down, god aways 158 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 4: are down, criminal prosecutions are on the rise. Daily reports 159 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 4: of large groups in Mexico, Guatemala turning back south and 160 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 4: surrendering to authorities requested to go home. And we have 161 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,119 Speaker 4: only just begun policy matters. President Biden told us repeatedly 162 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 4: Chris that he had basically done all he could and 163 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 4: that it was up to Congress to do more. What's 164 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 4: happened in the last two and a half weeks would 165 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 4: seem to suggest that Biden was just gaslighting everybody. 166 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's unfortunate. I think, yeah, I don't know. 167 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 5: I don't know who he thought he was fooling. I mean, 168 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 5: Dunchure wasn't us. We knew what was going on the 169 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 5: whole time. And you're right, the apprehension numbers have slown 170 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 5: to a crawl. 171 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 6: Last night. 172 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 5: I was actually working the river and you have the 173 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 5: Mexican military patrolling their northern border, so that slows down 174 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 5: a lot of traffic coming our way. So things have 175 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 5: changed a great deal. And this president has proven that 176 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 5: he's a man of his word and can get it done. 177 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 5: He actually gave President Biden, then President Biden, the road 178 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 5: map to do it. 179 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 6: He just failed to have failed to do it there. 180 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 3: It is failed to do it right. That's what it 181 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 3: boils down to. 182 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: Well, and it was deliberate, it was a decision. And listen, 183 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: Biden knew he was lying to the American people. Kamala 184 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: Harris knew she was lying to the American people. Kareem 185 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 2: John Pierre knew she was lying to the American people. 186 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer knew he was lying to the American people. 187 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: Every Democrat in the Senate, in the House, they knew 188 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: they were lying to the American people. And it's because 189 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,599 Speaker 2: they elevated politics ab of their basic job of representing 190 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 2: their constituents and protecting them. And listen, reasonable people can disagree, say, 191 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 2: on the right level of legal immigration. Some people might 192 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 2: say we should allow more legal immigration. Other people might 193 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 2: say we should allow less. That that's a discussion reasonable 194 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 2: and rational people can have. Let me ask you something seriously, Ben, 195 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 2: Imagine for a second you're a Democrat strategist. So imagine 196 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,200 Speaker 2: you're a transgender witch and you are are a complete lunatic, 197 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: and you have no reason even so you presumably want 198 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: your team to win. I mean, one would think that 199 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 2: would be sort of the basics if you're running a campaign. Sure, 200 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 2: explain to me how a political party gets so far 201 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: away from common sense in the American people that they decide, 202 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 2: let's release multiple child rapists that raping kids. You know, 203 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 2: so apparently our constituents want child rapists in our community. 204 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: And if you think, okay, come on, Ted, that's a 205 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: little extreme. The Democrats are not doing this. I want 206 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 2: you to listen about Bill Malugin. Bill Malugin is the 207 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 2: best immigration reporter in the countries with Fox News. I 208 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 2: want you to listen to this clip because this is 209 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 2: exactly what the Democrat Party has been doing. 210 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 7: Give a listen, well, Dana, It's hard to believe there 211 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 7: are any jurisdictions out there that wouldn't cooperate with ICE 212 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 7: when it comes to illegal aliens charged with forcibly raping children. 213 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 7: But in Massachusetts it's just routine. Take a look at 214 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 7: this case. ICE Boston just announcing they arrested this Guatemala 215 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 7: illegal alien charge in Massachusetts with three counts of aggravated 216 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 7: child rape and three counts of forcible rape of a child. 217 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 7: So the question is why was he on the streets 218 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 7: right well, I says their detainer request on him was 219 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 7: ignored by the Essex County Superior Court due to sanctuary policy. 220 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 3: The locals released. 221 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 7: Him into the community on bail without any notice to ICE. 222 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 7: In a statement, the director of ICE Boston says, in 223 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 7: part quote host Day Fernando Perez has been charged with 224 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 7: some horrific crimes against the minor in our commonwealth. He 225 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 7: is exactly the type of alien we are targeting with 226 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 7: our worst first policy. He posts a significant danger to 227 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 7: the children of Massachusetts and we will not tolerate such 228 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 7: a threat to our community. ICE Boston also announcing the 229 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 7: arrest of this Turkish illegal alien charged in Massachusetts with 230 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 7: a sultant battery against an intellectually disabled person and witness intimidation. 231 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 7: But I says their detainer on him was also ignored 232 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 7: by the sanctuary city of Somerville. He had also been 233 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 7: released into the public elsewhere around the US. I Seattle 234 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 7: arrested this Salvadoran illegal alien wanted in his home country 235 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 7: for aggravated homicide. Here in Los Angeles, ICE arrested this 236 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 7: Guatemalan illegal alien charged with sexual assault and rape with 237 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 7: a gun. And in Colorado, the DEA announced their top 238 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 7: ten arrests of illegal immigrants in recent days, including several 239 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 7: affiliated with Trendy Aragua and others with egregious crimes like kidnapping, 240 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 7: child sexual assault, and fentanyl trafficking and Dana. I was 241 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 7: talking to a law enforcement source in Massachusetts about the 242 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 7: child rape case that I reference, and I asked, like, 243 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 7: there's got to be some sort of a catch here, right, 244 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 7: forget about cooperating with ICE. How does somebody charge with 245 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 7: so many counts of aggravated forcible child rape even get 246 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 7: released on bail in the first place. The response I 247 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 7: got was quote welcome to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We'll 248 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 7: send it back to you. 249 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 6: Well, they're finally on their way out, thanks Bill. 250 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 1: Welcome the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. That's how much they hate 251 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They don't care about these rapists running around 252 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: among us. 253 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:42,319 Speaker 2: It really is shocking. And understand what is being reported there, 254 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 2: which is that in Massachusetts, but also you're seeing it 255 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 2: in Seattle. Also you're seeing it in Colorado and across 256 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: the country. You have Democrats who have people who are 257 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: violent child rapists, who are violently, horribly raping little children. 258 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 2: And number one, these Democrats are releasing these child rapists. Now, 259 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 2: these child rapists are illegal immigrants. They could be deported, 260 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: but their politics of we want as many illegal immigrants 261 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 2: as possible is more important than any sort of common 262 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 2: sense of let's stop, let's stop horrible crimes against vulnerable kids. 263 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: You know, there's a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche in Beyond 264 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 2: Good and Evil which I think is really on point here. 265 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: And it is quote there is a point in the 266 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: history of society when it becomes so pathologically soft and 267 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 2: tender that, among other things, it sides even with those 268 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: who harm it, criminals, and it does this quite seriously 269 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: and honestly, punishing somehow seems unfair to it. And it 270 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 2: is certain that imagining punishment and being supposed to punish 271 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 2: hurts it, arouses fear in it. Is it not enough 272 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: to render him undangerous? Why still punish? Punishing itself is terrible? 273 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: With this question heard, morality, the morality of timidity draws 274 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: its ultimate consequence. 275 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, 276 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to the full podcast 277 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two, Senata, 278 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: I want to move on to Doge, and I mean, 279 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: it's just mind blowing at this point how much money 280 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: is being uncovered that is involved in waste, fraud and 281 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: abuse within our government. And then there's this new headline 282 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: that came out of the White House, and that is 283 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: a bombshell that there has been four point seven trillion 284 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: dollars that has been spent that is untraceable in the 285 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: way that the payments went out from the Treasury Department. 286 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 3: Explain that to America. 287 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 2: Well, let me read from our article in Fox News. 288 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 2: Doze says it found nearly untraceable budget line atoms responsible 289 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 2: for four point seven trillion in payments. The Trump administration's 290 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 2: Doze discovered an identification code linking US Treasury payments to 291 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: a budget line ATOM, which accounts for nearly four point 292 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: seven trillion dollars in payments, which was oftentimes left blank. 293 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 2: The Treasury Access Symbol TAS is an identification code linking 294 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 2: a Treasury payment to a budget line ATOM standard financial process, 295 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: Doze wrote in post on X. In the federal government, 296 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: the TAS field was optional for four point seven trillion 297 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: dollars in payments and was often left blank, making traceability 298 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: almost impossible. As of Saturday, this is now a required field, 299 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:05,320 Speaker 2: increasing insight into where money is actually going. So understand 300 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 2: four point seven trillion dollars. Listen, A million dollars is 301 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 2: a lot of money. A billion dollars is a crap 302 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 2: ton more, it's actually a thousand times more. A trillion 303 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: dollars is a thousand thousand times more than a million dollars, 304 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: and four point seven trillion is even in federal government 305 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 2: spending a massive amount. The point here is the money 306 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 2: that has been coming from the federal government has been 307 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: massively wasted, and there has been no accountability, and the 308 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 2: entire governmental system is reacting in pain and horror and 309 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 2: agony that Donald Trump and Elon Musker bringing finally accountability 310 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 2: to it. 311 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,880 Speaker 1: You look at the four point seven trillion. Is this 312 00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: done on purpose? For this exact reason? If you don't 313 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,639 Speaker 1: know where the money's going, you can't trace the money, 314 00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: then you can't ask questions. 315 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,680 Speaker 2: Oh look, yes, and no. I had an old boss 316 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: of mind, my very first boss, who said this was 317 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: actually quite profound. He said, never blame on malice. What 318 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,360 Speaker 2: can be explained with incompetence. Look, that explains a lot 319 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,560 Speaker 2: of government. There is massive waste, There is massive politicization 320 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 2: and weaponization. If you're spending your own money, you care 321 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: about it, then you care about your own money. If 322 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 2: you're spending someone else's money, you don't care about it. 323 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: And that problem in government is there's a culture of 324 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: endemic waste that is enormously problematic. And you combine that 325 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 2: with a politicization that there's a it doesn't matter I'm 326 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 2: spending someone else's money, I don't care, and I'm going 327 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: to spend it to promote transgender witches in some far 328 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 2: off country.

And the media, by 333 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: the way, they're going to defend everything they can, even 334 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: if it's indefensible. 335 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 3: A great example of. 336 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 2: That, man, let me ask you this, is there one 337 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: Democrat you know who has criticized one single example of 338 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 2: massive waste abuse and fraud. And by the way, by 339 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: one democrat. I don't mean James Carvell. We talked about 340 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 2: that two days ago.

None of these egregious items that we've 349 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: listed on the show. Uh, And we've done a really 350 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: good job of keeping pep up today where were the 351 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 1: money's going? None of them have been criticized by the 352 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 1: Democrats and the media. Again, they are just hell bent 353 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: on saying Donald Trump bad, Elon Musk bad, Doge bad. 354 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: Here's a great example. 355 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: Listen to this exchange with Stephen Miller, because it is. 356 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 2: It is hysterical. By the way, tonight I saw Stephen. 357 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 2: I was at a party, so Howard Luddick was just 358 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 2: confirmed as Commerce Secretary. 359 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 3: He had a party at his house. 360 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: I saw Stephen this evening and I told him, great 361 00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 2: job on CNN. Listen to this exchange, because she really is. 362 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: It's nutty. And I gotta say CNN has become a 363 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 2: clown show. It's not even it's not even real journalism. 364 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,399 Speaker 2: It's just silly. But listen to this back and forth. 365 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 8: You mentioned yesterday and you mentioned again here illegal immigrants 366 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 8: who are getting child tax credits. If are you looking 367 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 8: for that information in the IRS data? 368 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 9: Anytime a crime is committed, of course there should be 369 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 9: an investigation. Is it your position that of somebody who 370 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 9: is data, the federal government will find every illegal alien 371 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 9: who is stealing American tax payer dollars and that is 372 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 9: what Americans spend. I don't even fath that. 373 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,120 Speaker 8: It's a simple question. In the IRS data share that with. 374 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,800 Speaker 9: IRS investigators find illegal aliens stealing tax payer money. Of 375 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 9: course it'll be referred to ICE. Of course, it'll be 376 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 9: referred to Homeland security investigations. Of course it will be Surely, 377 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 9: your position is not that we should let illegal aliens 378 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 9: steal taxpayer dollars. You want to talk about something to 379 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 9: be upset about, that's it. What do you think the 380 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 9: millions of illegal aliens who have also stolen social security? 381 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 9: Illegal aliens in mass have fake Social Security numbers, they 382 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 9: have fake identities. 383 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 3: Those are felonies. 384 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 9: Why should there be an entire class in this country 385 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 9: that is immunized from criminal prosecution and arrest for committing 386 00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 9: felonies felony, theft of taxpayer information, tell any, theft of 387 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 9: social security, felony, theft of identity. These are all crimes. 388 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 9: And yes they will be investigated. Yes they'll be prosecuted, 389 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 9: and yes he will be deported. And you know what, 390 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,840 Speaker 9: Americans will get jobs, Americans will Americans will get housing. 391 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 8: Even if they got a child, if they got a credit, 392 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 8: a child tax credit, and they will be referred you're 393 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 8: saying to ICE for that and you would expect deported 394 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 8: for that? 395 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 7: Is that? 396 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 8: Is that the position of the administration. 397 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 9: If it is found that a crime has been committed, 398 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 9: they'll be referred if the If it is justifies the prosecution, 399 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 9: they'll be prosecuted. If it justifies a deportation, they will 400 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 9: be deported. This will be based on existing IRIS protocols 401 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 9: and procedures for criminal investigation and fraud. 402 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 8: All right. 403 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 9: Difference is that no one is given immunity anymore, no 404 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 9: one is given permission to break the law anymore, because 405 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 9: this is not a country, this is not a sovereign territory. 406 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 9: If legal aliens can freely still billions with a beat, 407 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 9: billions of taxpayer dollars, and I would have to imagine 408 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 9: that that CNN, which is endlessly talked about the importance 409 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 9: of democracy and the rule of law, would say that 410 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 9: no class in this country should be above the law, 411 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,920 Speaker 9: least of all illegal aliens who've trespassed on our territory. 412 00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 8: Stephen, I'm just asking. I wanted to get your position 413 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,760 Speaker 8: on some things this. We're not taking a position here. 414 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 8: We wanted to get some answers to some questions. There 415 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 8: are so many questions that need to be answer. 416 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,800 Speaker 9: In fact, indifferent or unbiased on these questions. 417 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 8: But thank you, Steven Miller, Thank you so much for 418 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 8: your time. Really appreciate it, and we'll be right by. 419 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 3: Thank you. It's amazing. 420 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, we don't take positions here, And I 421 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: love how grids he grids and laughs in her face, 422 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: like are you kidding me? Everybody watching right now knows 423 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: exactly what you're doing, and you're trying to act like 424 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 1: we're doing something wrong when in fact we're saving taxpayers dollars. 425 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 2: What Miller is saying is exactly right. The federal government 426 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: should enforce the law. If you have illegal aliens who 427 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 2: are stealing from the taxpayers, they should be prosecuted. And 428 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 2: the bizarre our position CNN is taking is well, if 429 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 2: the IRS knows that you're illegally stealing from the taxpayers, 430 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: the IRS shouldn't tell that to the rest of the 431 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 2: federal government. You should protect the illegal aliens who are 432 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 2: stealing from the taxpayers. That's a weird proposition. Why is 433 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 2: the IRS separate from dj separate from DHS, separate from ICE, 434 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 2: separate from all of the different federal agencies. And CNN 435 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 2: is so vested in saying, we want millions of illegal 436 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 2: aliens here and we want there to be no consequences, 437 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 2: so their continuing to engage in fraud, to work illegally, 438 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 2: to draw so security payments, to draw government payments fraudulently. 439 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 2: That is CNN's position. And I got to say, I'm 440 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 2: going credit Steven Miller for calling out CNN for they're 441 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 2: not engaged in news. They have a position on this. 442 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 2: They don't want the law enforced. And I got to say, 443 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 2: I think the American people do as before. 444 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 1: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation 445 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 1: on this topic, you can go back and down the 446 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: podcasts from earlier this week to hear the entire thing. 447 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 1: I want to get back to the big story number 448 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: three of the week. 449 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 3: You may have missed. 450 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 10: How important are those relationships that you say, Hey, I 451 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 10: trust excuse me, I trust you.

But you just hit the ground running literally 506 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,880 Speaker 6: and don't look back. I don't look at what time 507 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 6: of day it is.

Trump 524 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 10: who just lets you do your job exactly. I mean, 525 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 10: there's a lot of presents in the past that have 526 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,520 Speaker 10: really tried to keep their thumb on people. It seems 527 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 10: like he's saying, go and go, get it done, and 528 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 10: call me when you need me. 529 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 6: He has trusted all of us and all of our 530 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 6: various capacities and all the different roles we have, whether 531 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 6: it's education or or agriculture, you know, all the cabinet labor, 532 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 6: all of the different cabinet secretaries, just to go out 533 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 6: and do the best we can. And and you know, 534 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 6: we want to make all of you proud, and we 535 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 6: want to fulfill his directive to make our country great. 536 00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,520 Speaker 6: That me ensured didn't need that job. He's a good 537 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 6: friend of mine and I love during my confirmation hearing 538 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,560 Speaker 6: when they try they get on me because they say 539 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 6: I'm friends with Donald Trump. Yes, I know, I'm not 540 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 6: friends with them. I'm good friends with him, and I'm 541 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 6: very proud to work for him. 542 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:11,480 Speaker 2: You know, when you look at weaponization and politicization, part 543 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 2: of it is using it to attack your political opponents, 544 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 2: and we've seen four years of that under Joe Biden. 545 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 2: Another part of it is turning the other way at 546 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 2: your political allies and refusing to enforce the law against them. 547 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,640 Speaker 2: And I think one of the most egregious examples we've 548 00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 2: seen over the last two years is the rising anti 549 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 2: semitism on college campus. I mean the violent protesters and rioters, 550 00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 2: many of whom are not students, are not affiliated with 551 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 2: the universities, and they are threatening students. You look at 552 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: Columbia University. The Orthodox rabbi there sent out an email 553 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 2: to the Jewish students on campus and said, do not 554 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: come to campus because the university cannot and will not 555 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,520 Speaker 2: keep you safe. And the Biden Justice Department did nothing. 556 00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 2: They investigated nobody, they didn't follow the money, they didn't 557 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 2: indict anyone, they didn't prosecute anyone, and they did not 558 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 2: enforce Title six of the Civil Rights Laws, which say 559 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 2: that if you are tolerating harassment on the basis of 560 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 2: ethnicity or religion, that you will have your federal funds 561 00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 2: cut off. How is the Department of Justice different today 562 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 2: and what will your approach be to anti semitism and 563 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,960 Speaker 2: threats of violence directed against Jewish students on campus or 564 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 2: any other students on campus. 565 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,960 Speaker 6: We have an October seventh task force that we started, 566 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 6: and we will protect you. When I was just a 567 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 6: citizen before I had this job, what you said, I'm 568 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 6: watching these these aren't peaceful protests. We all believe in 569 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 6: peaceful protests. Oh, I'm sorry, unless you're a liberal and 570 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 6: you don't want a parent to quietly pray outside an 571 00:31:55,960 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 6: abortion clinic, or you're a character or a parent at 572 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,920 Speaker 6: a school board, they're going to call you a domestic securisty. 573 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 6: But I'm screaming up my TV watching these violent protests, 574 00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 6: you know, the last since October seventh. You're watching this happen, 575 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,600 Speaker 6: and all of our students deserve to be safe. First 576 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 6: of all, these these students from who are here on visas, 577 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,240 Speaker 6: who are who are threatening our American students need to 578 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 6: be kicked out of this country. 579 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 2: Amen. It is refreshingly simple to have an attorney general 580 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 2: who has the approach that you're going to follow the 581 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 2: law and enforce the law, and that sadly has been missing, 582 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,800 Speaker 2: uh for the last four years. 583 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:54,520 Speaker 6: It's pretty basic, isn't it. 584 00:32:54,520 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 2: It should not be complicated. Let me ask you what 585 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: keeps you up at night? What scares you? In the 586 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 2: first two weeks in this job. 587 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 6: Pretty much everything. I don't sleep at night anymore. Of course, 588 00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 6: everything we talked about, the drugs, the cartels, the great 589 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 6: Maybe I'll get a little sleep tonight based on the 590 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,720 Speaker 6: arrest that we're just made, the children that are being trafficked, 591 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 6: things that have been so personal to me since I 592 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 6: was a state prosecutor and then since I was state 593 00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 6: attorney general. Now you just get to help people on 594 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 6: a bigger level, which is pretty pretty cool to get 595 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 6: to do that. But most recently it's really been what 596 00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 6: Elon has been uncovering and the USA, the waste at EPA, 597 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 6: this money, trillions of dollars they believe just being handed out, 598 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 6: which is most likely making a round trip and going 599 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 6: to terrorist organization. 600 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 2: And you are on the front line of defending the 601 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 2: president and Elon Moskin do all the effort they're doing. 602 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 2: And every day we are seeing Democrat attorneys general and 603 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: Democrat interest groups suing the president, suing Elon Musk, suing 604 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 2: the federal government and the Department of Justices on the 605 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 2: front lines, and sadly, we're seeing left wing activist judges, 606 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 2: individual district court judges issuing nationwide injunctions. Tell us about 607 00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 2: what it's like defending against those lawsuits, and give us 608 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 2: your thoughts on the authority of one radical district judge 609 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 2: to try to run the executive branch and issue a 610 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 2: nationwide injunction. 611 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 6: Two words, we're winning, but yeah, so you've got you've 612 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,239 Speaker 6: got one. I like that answer, one unelected district judge 613 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 6: trying to tell President Trump, who was elected overwhelmingly by 614 00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 6: the American people, where federal funds can go. We're winning 615 00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 6: even in liberal courts. By the way, I'm senator, we're 616 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 6: winning as always. 617 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for listening to Verdict with Sentner, Ted Cruz, 618 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:07,960 Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal with my podcast, 619 00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: and you can listen to my podcast every other day 620 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: you're not listening to Verdict or each day when you 621 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,279 Speaker 1: listen to Verdict.
