WEBVTT - Supreme Court Shake-up 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.080 Our two Sean Hennity Show tolfree. It is eight hundred 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:05.560 and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want to be. 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:07.280 A part of the program. 0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:11.960 We have a lot of news regarding Supreme Court decisions 0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:13.200 that have come down today. 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:14.840 Some I like, some I don't like. 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:19.000 Greg Jarrett, Fox News legal analyst and New York Times 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:22.800 bestselling author will join us at a minute. Court allowing 0:00:22.800 --> 0:00:27.479 Trump to fire the FTC commissioner overturns major restraint on 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:28.640 presidential power. 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:32.640 A lot of people looking at that as a huge win. 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:38.400 Others not happy about the Court preventing the president from 0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:43.840 firing the FED chair, Governor and justices uphold the state 0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:48.400 law allowing for late arriving mail in ballots. Not sure 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.600 why people get an extension. And you know, when it 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:55.440 comes to getting their ballots in on time, there should 0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:56.360 be a set date. 0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.240 That date should be election day. 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.720 And if everybody's tired to have it in by that date, 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:05.280 I don't think that is too onerous. Let's go to 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.480 some analysis and we'll get to Greg. Here's John you 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:13.160 explaining how the Supreme Court ruling in this one particular case, 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.400 it's most important ruling, he declares in ninety one years. 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:17.160 Here's what he said. 0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:22.480 The FTC case Slaughter is the culmination of a campaign 0:01:22.560 --> 0:01:26.240 by presidents going back to Ronald Reagan all the way 0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.040 through all the presidents, all the way through to Trump, 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:33.040 aided by really the Roberts Court has been on this 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.720 for twenty years now to try to end the practice 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:41.040 of Congress of creating these independent powers within the executive 0:01:41.040 --> 0:01:44.200 branch which are not under the control of the president. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:49.240 This decision is perhaps the most important decision about the 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.520 operation of the government since nineteen thirty five. As you said, Bill, 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.360 that case is called Humphreys Executor. No longer will there 0:01:56.440 --> 0:02:01.120 be an FTC, SCCC, all those agencies we're designed by 0:02:01.160 --> 0:02:04.880 Congress to be outside the president's control. And the Court 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.680 says clearly that is inconsistent with the vesting by the 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:13.160 founders of the executive power only in the president. They're 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.800 all going to be directly under the control of the 0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:19.480 president now, so it almost doesn't matter whether they're in 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.560 the Treasury Department or in the State Department, because the 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:26.880 President now can give them orders and fire them if 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:27.760 they don't obey. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.520 All right, let's get Greg Jarrett's reaction to all of this. 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.240 Greg I tend to agree with John Youw on this 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:38.840 and his analysis. This is the Slaughter case where the 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:43.880 dismissal of two Democratic Commissioners from the FTC by President 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:49.000 Trump and finding that their removal conflicted with statutory requirements. 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:50.000 What is your take? 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:55.240 Well, John, you is right. Finally, after ninety one years, 0:02:56.280 --> 0:03:00.160 the president gets to regain control of the out out 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:05.080 of control alphabet soup of federal agencies that mushroom during 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:10.840 the twentieth century, the so called administrative state that has behaved. 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.080 And you and I've talked about a sean as a 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:19.440 fourth branch of government, unelected people totally unaccountable to anyone 0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:24.840 who wield enormous power. And today Chief Justice John Roberts 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:33.040 said that's enough, and he restored common sense by saying, look, 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:41.080 these agency officials who exercise executive power are accountable to 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:48.200 the chief executive, the President, and executive power rests solely 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.320 on the president and nobody else, so he can fire 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:58.160 them at will, because removal is a necessary component of 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:04.040 presidential control. And the Court said, by the way, Congress 0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:11.880 cannot restrict the president's control over these agency officers. So 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.880 you know, in doing this, the Supreme Court reversed itself. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:21.960 As John you pointed out the Humphries Executor decision, horrible 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:25.400 decision in nineteen thirty five by a different Supreme Court. 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:31.760 Obviously that prevented presidents from firing officials at these regulatory agencies. 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:37.640 That was a wrongheaded decision, and now finally it is 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:38.719 dead and buried. 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:42.479 What did you make of the Supreme Court ruling today 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:48.919 on counting mail in ballots after election Day? Jonathan Turlie, 0:04:48.920 --> 0:04:54.960 our colleague, He described this as a significant loss for Republicans. 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:57.039 It makes no sense to me. 0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:02.120 Maybe the exception of the military, if they need extra 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:07.120 time because of the pace at which mail in ballots 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:11.560 can be sent from overseas. Maybe with that exception, but 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.320 he viewed this as a little bit more significant than 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:14.919 I did. 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:16.680 What is your take, well, I. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:22.200 Think this was the Supreme Court saying to the people 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.520 across the street in Congress, if you really want to, 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.680 you know, bring in these mail in ballots and contain 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:35.640 them past the Save America Act, which has a provision 0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:39.520 on that. This ruling wasn't about ideology. It was a 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.919 specific reading of existing federal law, and the Court said 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:49.200 that the federal statute specifies when voters must vote, but 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:53.000 it says nothing at all about when mail in ballots 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.560 must be received. And the Court said it's up to 0:05:55.640 --> 0:06:01.080 Congress to pass a law i e. Act if it 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:05.440 wants ballots to be received by election day, but until then, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:11.920 states have the power to manage ballot counting, which is 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:16.320 what Mississippi did in this particular case. But this is 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.320 consistent with the Constitution, which grants Congress the power to 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.960 regulate federal elections, but it gives states the authority to 0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:33.239 administer elections, and that includes in a vote counting. However, 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:36.840 the Court said, the Constitution does give Congress the power 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:42.159 to override or modify those state rules such as Mississippi 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:47.920 and California and elsewhere. But until that happens, you know, 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.560 you're going to have these nightmare scenarios such as California, 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.080 where you don't know the results for many days or weeks, 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.800 and that only fuels distrust in the integrity of elections. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:01.760 I mean, I see, is the Supreme Court sort of 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:06.479 lighting a fire under Congress that if you really want 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:08.400 to fix elections, pass a law. 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.600 You know, they often go back and pretty much advise 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.560 Congress to do such without such explicit language as you're using. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.480 I think the case that is going to matter the 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:24.720 most is the issue of birthright citizenship. Over the years, 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:29.160 we've used the term anchor babies. People come from other countries, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.760 they give birth to a child in the US, and 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:36.920 automatically they are a US citizen. Now you've heard oral arguments, 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.440 you've heard different analysis of it. 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:40.200 What's your take. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:46.480 Well, I wrote a column immediately after the President issued 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:51.280 his executive order when he took office on birthright citizenship, 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.520 and I argue that he had a valid argument because 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.480 I went back to and you can read it online. 0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:02.200 Takes some time to find it, but you'll find it 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:05.680 the debate that took place between the sponsors and the 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:13.160 authors of that particular provision of the fourteenth Amendment, and 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.800 it was abundantly clear to me from the words they 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.680 spoke on the floor of the US Senate that they 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:26.200 did not intend for this to include you know, children, 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:32.880 or anybody who's not a legal resident. And you know, 0:08:33.320 --> 0:08:36.640 I was disappointed as I listened to the oral argument 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.360 that that wasn't emphasized enough. Now that doesn't mean that 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:47.080 the Supremes themselves aren't looking at that in context, but 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:51.200 you know, I think the odds are that the President's 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.400 going to lose on birthright citizenship. If he does, I 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.800 think it's a wrong decision, and you know it would 0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:03.319 be up to con to fix it. It's astonishing to 0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.160 me that, you know, you hear Chuck Schumer say over 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.679 and over again, Oh, it's Jim Crow two point zero. 0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:12.800 He apparently doesn't realize it was Democrats that created the 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:18.559 Jim Crow laws, which were hideous and awful. And this 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:24.439 has nothing to do about disenfranchising African American voters. If 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.440 you look at the polling data, they're among the highest 0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:33.720 seventy eight percent or something like that want valid voter ID. 0:09:35.240 --> 0:09:37.880 And it's silly to argue in this day and age 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:43.679 that these people don't have ID. Have to have an 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.120 ID to do anything, to pick up medicine, to travel, 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:53.680 to go anywhere, you know, even to attend Democrat rallies, 0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:57.640 you got to have an ID. So you know, I 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.320 think they want to cheat, and they're creating the conditions 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:01.760 to do so. 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:06.079 I quick break more with our legal analysis of all 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.160 the Supreme Court rulings that have come down today. More 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.400 with Greg Jarrett on the other side, Mark Halper will 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:16.520 analyze a lot of how the Democratic Party has now 0:10:16.640 --> 0:10:23.080 shifted so solidly left. I Final Moments where Greg Jarrett 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.400 is he analyzes the Supreme Court rulings that have been 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:30.600 released today. Overall, as you look at the decisions now 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:33.480 that are coming down kind of fast and furious here, 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:37.320 and whether it's the Slaughter case or Watson versus the RNC, 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:42.560 or the Trump versus cookcase, or any of the cases 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.439 that we're getting with decisions on and as we await 0:10:45.480 --> 0:10:47.160 the final decisions. 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:50.040 What is your take on the makeup of the court. 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.800 Because when people ask me, I really can't give them 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:54.679 a straight answer. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:55.720 I don't have any. 0:10:55.720 --> 0:11:01.400 Clue what the judicial philosophy of Amy Coney Barrett is. 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.440 At times, I don't have any clue what it might be. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:09.440 For you know, Chief Justice John Roberts, I don't know 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.240 if you have the same questions I do, but I 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:16.080 find some of their decisions contradictory and just odd to me. 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.800 Well, Amy Coney Barrat tends to do whatever John Roberts does. 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:25.360 You'll notice that in the opinions she mimics his point 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.920 of view. But for those who say that this is 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:34.720 a one sided court in the bag for President Trump, 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.640 decisions that we saw today bely that argument. Yes, Trump 0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.319 has won some significant cases, but he's lost a bunch 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:49.559 the terroriffs. For example, an important case I didn't win 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.400 that one. Birthright citizenship will come out tomorrow. I don't 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:56.040 think he's going to win that one. I may be surprised. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:01.080 And then, of course you point out to two cases 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:05.560 in which Trumps slash Republicans did not win. The Lisa 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:11.880 Cook case Federal Reserve, you know, where the President had 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.320 fired her and the court said not. 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:16.240 So well, why do you think they bifurcated that owl 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:20.120 compared to other agencies which gave the president an enormous 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.440 amount of power, And in that case, I'm talking about 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:23.280 the Slaughter case. 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:24.640 Yeah. 0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:26.560 So, on the other hand, in the Slaughter case, the 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:33.520 president has brought authority to fire anyone at federal regulatory agencies. 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:39.120 But Chief Justice Roberts created an exception for the Central Bank, 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:44.800 the FED. Why because in creating the FED, Congress structured 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:51.439 it to operate independently, because it recognized that monetary policy 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:57.960 is meant to be protected from political pressure. Understand, the 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.000 Court did not say the FED governor can ever be fired, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:06.520 only that removal has to meet the statutory requirements contained 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.960 in that law. It's a nuanced ruling, which is why 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:15.120 the Chief Justice authored both the Slaughter case and the 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:18.280 Lease of Cook case so that he himself could draw 0:13:18.720 --> 0:13:19.520 the distinction. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:20.680 Net net. 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:22.679 Would you say that this was a good day for 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.320 Republicans and the President or a split decision? 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.600 Oh, I'd call it a you know, a split decision. 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:37.440 Republicans didn't win everything, but you know, the slaughtercase is 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.760 a huge decision because, as John Y pointed out, you 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:46.600 and I agree, this out of control administrative state, this 0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:52.959 fourth branch of government has been wielding too much enormous 0:13:53.160 --> 0:13:57.800 power since the Humphreys decision by the Supreme Court in 0:13:57.880 --> 0:14:02.880 nineteen thirty five, and every single president has complained about 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.800 it and been angry about it. But it took President 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:12.240 Donald Trump to actually bring the challenge and take it 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.600 all the way to the US Supreme Court and get 0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:19.480 a bad decision rectified. You know, the Supreme Court has 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.640 gotten a lot of decisions wrong over two hundred and 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:29.760 fifty some odd years, and they've reversed themselves and overturned 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:32.880 themselves more than one hundred times. And you can add 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:35.320 today's decision to that long list. 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.560 Well, it's amazing these decisions come out one after another 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.600 today and Greg Jarrett actually finds the time to read 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:44.800 them all and men help inform all of us. That's 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:48.040 what makes you great what you do, Greg Jarrett, appreciate 0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:50.520 your time. Start thank you as always. All right, my 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.880 friend eight hundred nine to four one, Shawn is on number. 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.560 I just wanted to do a check in. There's a 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:57.160 guy we're going I'm going to introduce you to in 0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:01.560 a second. His name is Brian Stern, and he's the 0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:06.680 Gray Bull Rescue chairman and founder, and we saw what happened. 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:09.360 He's a veteran of more than eight hundred rescue evacuation 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:13.520 missions worldwide, and Brian has helped save in the course 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.280 of his life. This is his passion. This is really 0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:17.800 what he was born to do. If you ask me, 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.360 he has saved more than eighty seven hundred lives and 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.560 served as a first responder even during. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:25.560 The nine to eleven attacks. 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:30.360 And anyway, he's bringing his expertise in terms of you know, 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:34.960 a lot of the devastation that happened in Venezuela. There's 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.760 a lot of outrage growing after a video surface appearing 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:44.520 to show the regime's Interior minister preventing members of a 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:50.040 US rescued delegation from actually assisting the people that desperately 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.720 needed help, which makes no sense at all. Secretary of 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:56.240 State Marker Rubio waited on this, let's play it well. 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.720 Maybe already deploying a search and rescue teams from Fairfax County, 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:01.400 virgin and Los Angeles. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:02.720 There'll be some others, will add. 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:05.160 That's their most immediate need right now is search and 0:16:05.160 --> 0:16:08.120 rescue efforts. They have a much of collapsed buildings and 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.640 so they'll need a lot of help in terms of 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.840 digging through that. The airport there is badly damaged, so 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:14.640 we'll have to rely on the Department of War to 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.800 deploy assets there. And then we're also helping them with 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.720 some overhead imagery, especially in coastal areas where they don't 0:16:20.720 --> 0:16:22.840 have full visibility over what the damage has been and 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.160 what the impact has been. Those are the acute, like 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.240 short term needs over the next forty eight to seventy 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:29.320 two hours, because in search and rescue, you're trying to 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:31.960 get to people while you can still save their lives 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.840 they're buried under rubble. And other countries are responding as well. 0:16:35.880 --> 0:16:38.680 The Kataris have already offered assistance as we spoke to 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.920 them earlier today as well. El Salvador has stepped up, 0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.560 and multiple countries around the region, including Chile and others, 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.320 have reached out to us to communicate and get that happening. 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.000 As we move forward with that response, with the sort 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.520 of the short term phase of response recovery, the second phase, 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.640 of course, will be identifying their more longer term and 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:57.520 acute needs. What are the things over the long term 0:16:57.560 --> 0:16:59.440 they're going to need help with. We'll have a better 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.240 assessment that after the next forty eight hours when we're 0:17:02.280 --> 0:17:04.880 on the ground and as the Venezuelan authorities get more 0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:07.840 visibility as to the level of damage in terms of housing, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.240 where do you put all these people that don't have 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:11.920 anywhere to go live, what we can do to help 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.360 restore or help them restore their communications, their internet, their 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:16.520 telecom and so forth. 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.560 One of the things that defines the people of this 0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:21.840 great country, and there are so many things that define 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:27.280 its greatness, is whether it's fellow Americans in need, whether 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:31.040 it's a tsunami, you know, somewhere around the world somewhere, 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.840 whether there's any other natural disaster, the ability of the 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.600 American people, the generosity of the American people to rise 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:43.359 to the occasion and provide the food and the water 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.520 and the medicine and the supplies and the you know, 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:49.359 the equipment that are needed to help people out in 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:54.640 their worst moments is beyond inspiring. And I think there's 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:57.679 no better, more generous country than ours. That's why it's 0:17:57.720 --> 0:18:00.320 hard to understand why some Democrats don't take right in 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:00.960 their country. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:02.000 Anyway. 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.280 Here to give us an update on it is Brian Stern. 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:08.040 He's with Great Bill Rescued. He's the chairman and founder 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.639 and he is staged and ready in the Caribbean to 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:17.359 help in these missions following these catastrophic earthquakes, and he 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:18.800 is bringing us an update today. 0:18:18.840 --> 0:18:20.359 Brian, Thanks for being on the ground. 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.080 I think it's a pretty impressive record that you've helped 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:25.200 say more than eighty seven hundred lives in your life. 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.479 But clearly that's your calling and you're great at it. 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:29.960 How did things stand now? 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:36.679 Thanks for having us sean things are complicated. The video 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.560 that you were just referencing where you see deo style 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:43.359 of Cabo kind of adversarial with the search and rescue 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:44.360 team from America. 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.000 It's fascinating because he's literally. 0:18:46.680 --> 0:18:49.480 That same guy, Dio Stanta Caveo is on the same 0:18:49.560 --> 0:18:54.080 exact indictment as Nicholas Maduro and the remains of Rewards 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.040 for Justice bounty on his head still to this very day. 0:18:57.520 --> 0:18:59.840 So I bringing it up. I bring it up just 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:05.200 to showcase the complexity of this whole mess. The you know, 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.600 Venezuela is a complicated place. It's always been a complicated place. 0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:12.359 The largest concentration of his bola outside of Lebanon is 0:19:12.400 --> 0:19:15.960 in Venezuela. And you're seeing, you know, American search and 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:20.200 rescue teams co located with people who have literally part 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:21.640 of the Rewards for Justice program. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:25.720 And all right, but but the report is is and 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:29.280 this video to back this up that its surfaced appearing 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:33.920 to show that the Interior Minister preventing members of a 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.800 US rescue delegation from actually assisting the people in Venezuela. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:38.600 What's that all about? 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.159 Well, this is this is the challenge, right, Uh, you know, 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.600 back the Minister of Interior, dstad of Covello, is the 0:19:45.640 --> 0:19:48.240 guy in the video. He we have a warn out 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:50.159 for his arrest as we speak. This is not a 0:19:50.200 --> 0:19:53.240 good guy. So it is not surprising that a bad 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.720 guy is getting in the way of doing good things. 0:19:55.760 --> 0:20:00.040 That's what bad guys do. So, you know, the the 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.240 people are suffering. The people have been suffering for quite 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:03.760 some time. 0:20:04.000 --> 0:20:04.639 Just because there was. 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.680 A big earthquake does not mean that the bad guys 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:10.240 found Jesus. That's not what that means. Here on the ground, 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.480 a lot of things have been frustrated. The relief efforts, 0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.840 humanitarian aid, search and rescue teams as you see in 0:20:15.880 --> 0:20:17.720 the video, all kinds of things. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.800 Permitting for aircraft, all kinds of things. 0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:24.920 Are frustrated by the current government of Venezuela. And when 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:29.199 he you know, you know, Dalcia Rodriguez, the current president 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:33.240 of Venezuela. Her stepfather is Ilius Ramirez, also known as 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:38.320 Carlos the Jackal. That's her stepdad, the godfather of international terrorism. 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:41.680 So well, if we have an indictment for this guy, 0:20:41.720 --> 0:20:43.680 why don't we just arrest him, get him out of 0:20:43.720 --> 0:20:46.520 the way, and then the relief efforts can continue. 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:50.320 I the guy in the American in the video looked 0:20:50.320 --> 0:20:52.639 more like a law enforcement officer than a fireman. To me, 0:20:54.160 --> 0:20:56.600 I think he maybe should have, you know, done some 0:20:56.640 --> 0:21:00.879 hebeas gravice on on Dia style of Cabello and use 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.480 that to pay for humanitarian aid and search and rescue 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:03.960 teams to come in. 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:05.080 I don't think it's the worst to be in the 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:05.480 world either. 0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:07.640 Let me ask you this, are you able to get 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:11.240 to the people in need? Because time is usually of 0:21:11.359 --> 0:21:12.960 the essence after an event like this. 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:17.359 Right now we are absolutely in recovery phase. 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.520 It hasn't been called yet, but the search and rescue part, 0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:25.960 the idea of finding people who are alive is now 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.280 we're talking about divine intervention in miracles. If somebody is 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.840 signed alive, it's at that level. Miracles do happen, of course, 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:37.520 but it is it would be anomalist. It's a thousand 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:40.879 degrees outside, it's very hot. Air purity is a problem. 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:44.120 Air of oxygen availability in a collapse and can find 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:45.280 space is at a premium. 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.879 Plus injuries plus heat plus the rest, the likelihood of 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:51.560 finding someone alive at this moment is very very very 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:52.840 very very very low. 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:57.320 Therefore, this is pivoting to recovery. This is pivoting to 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.800 search and recovery, and so humanitarian aids. There's lots of 0:22:01.800 --> 0:22:05.639 people in Venezuela that we're already displaced because of conflicting 0:22:06.160 --> 0:22:09.440 all the rest. This earthquake did not make that situation 0:22:09.520 --> 0:22:10.000 any better. 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:12.360 Brian, we appreciate all you're doing. 0:22:12.480 --> 0:22:14.520 Please update us if there's anything we can do to 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:16.800 help you, or any message we can send on to 0:22:16.880 --> 0:22:20.600 the administration. Will be glad to help anywhere we can. Godspeed, 0:22:20.800 --> 0:22:23.760 Keep up the great work. And it's phenomenal what you're doing, 0:22:24.000 --> 0:22:27.080 and I have every belief that you know that relief 0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.119 will get there eventually. It's too bad that you have 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:31.520 to fight through this, you know, insanity right now. 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:34.760 The big thing we need Sean right now, Greble Rescue 0:22:34.800 --> 0:22:36.800 dot org. We need people to go to the website 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.879 and donate. We're a five to' one c three at 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:40.280 Helicopters and boats. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:43.239 Do not pay for themselves. Everything costs money out here, 0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.639 so we need people to listen and to please try and. 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:50.200 Help people out. That's the best way people can help 0:22:50.240 --> 0:22:53.160 right now is give money to good organizations doing good work. 0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.120 Well, we'll put that up on my website Hannity dot com. Brian, 0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:58.280 appreciate you being with us, Thank you, sir. All right, 0:22:58.359 --> 0:23:01.080 quick break right back to our phones.

What's happening? 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.200 I'm actually read up the road from you on Amelia Island, 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:21.800 the only place in nice in South Florida. 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:22.000 There. 0:23:22.359 --> 0:23:24.359 Hey, I want to talk to you a little bit 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:29.639 about the Democratic Socialists in regards to are they this 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.440 a little bit ahead of their time? Believe me, I 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.680 don't agree with their ideology on a lot of the things. 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:39.560 But with AI and US having to go to universal 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:42.320 basic income, where as Ala Musk would like to say 0:23:42.320 --> 0:23:45.320
