1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: Thousands of students crossing the border from Mexico to the 2 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: United States of America for one thing, schooling and schooling 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,799 Speaker 1: doesn't cost much when you're an legal immigrant. And now 4 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: many of them that have broken into this country are 5 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: now set to graduate. Yeah, can you believe that they're 6 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: going to graduate? Congratulations you, as a taxpayer, paid for it. 7 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: Take a listen. 8 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 2: In a letter obtained by CBS News, legislators from fifteen 9 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,120 Speaker 2: states said they want the president to restore order and 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: quote fix our broken immigration system. Recent data shows the 11 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: number of illegal border crossings have fallen, but tens of 12 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 2: thousands are still trying to make it to the US. 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: Camelo Montoya Galvez traveled to the other side of the 14 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: border in Cio Dad Juarez, Mexico, for a closer look 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 2: at how the situation is unfolding. 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 3: Thereto key, how long have you been waiting here? Nine days? 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 4: How long? 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 3: Five days? Eight days? Desperate and exhausted, dozens of migrants 19 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 3: huddled under the shade, stranded in this makeshift camp in Mexico, 20 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 3: with the US just out of reach. Where are you all? From? 21 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: The younger thin Colombia, Columbia, Guatemala. They came from across 22 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 3: Latin America, fleeing poverty and political turmoil, but they had 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 3: one common goal, getting to the US, no matter the cost. 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 3: Do you have food? No food, no money, no food, 25 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: no water? How long are you willing to wait here for? 26 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 3: When I put the in on Baraque, as long as 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 3: it takes. Rene, a migrant from Hondudas, had been there 28 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 3: for fifteen days, braving the elements with his young daughters. Gormaza, 29 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: can you sleep here right there? You sleep right there? 30 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: Colas were your daughters. You know your next scare. You 31 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 3: don't sleep the night. We just met this group with 32 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 3: several dozen migrants here into Hahuadas, Mexico, including really small 33 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: young children. They're all waiting to get to the US, 34 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 3: which is right there of hw yards away. But this 35 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 3: is in their way, miles and miles of razor wire 36 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 3: and another barriers set up by the state of Texas 37 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 3: to repel them from crossing into the US illegally. These 38 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: migrants showed us firsthand how sharp the wire was. They 39 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 3: want to kill us, this man, said local shelter director Kadia. 40 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 3: The Sila believes the barriers are inhumane. 41 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 5: That US is the greatest country in the world. We're 42 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 5: able to have I think policy that treats this situation 43 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 5: with dignity, and you don't think this is a. 44 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: Way to do it, not at all. This should be 45 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 3: assigned to them not to cross here on the US 46 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 3: side of the border. Texas trooper Eliot Touris understands why 47 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: migrants want to cross, but says they should do so legally. 48 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: You say this returns people from crossing into the country legally, 49 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 3: but some would call this inhumane, right, what do you 50 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 3: think about that? 51 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: The inhumane part is in the optic right, that's what 52 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: people perceive. 53 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:08,639 Speaker 5: It to be. 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 3: Could this wire cut the migrants if they're trying to 55 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: get across, Yes, sir, they could, and that's part of 56 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 3: the terrens. 57 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 6: Yes, sir. Now, if anybody does get cut, that's when 58 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 6: we step in again. 59 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: We're not going to let somebody stand there have an injury. 60 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 3: This year, illegal crossings along the US border have plummeted 61 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 3: since soaring to record levels in December. Texas officials say 62 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 3: the dramatic drop stems from their aggressive operations, but Mexico 63 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: has also overseen a massive crackdown on migrants. Tens of 64 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: thousands of migrants are estimated to be waiting in Mexico 65 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: for a chance to enter the US. When we talk 66 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 3: about the humanitarian crisis along the US Mexico border, we 67 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: always focus on the side in the US. We rarely 68 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: see images like this in Mexico. Yeah, why is that? 69 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 5: I think this is a way of you know, out 70 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 5: ofside of am I. You don't want to look at 71 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 5: the poor. You don't want to people that are vulnerable 72 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 5: because it makes us uncomfortable. 73 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 3: People and his daughters who are preparing to spend another 74 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 3: night near the Texas barriers, hoping for a brighter future. 75 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: You think the sacrifice will ultimately be worth it. You 76 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: think you will be able to get into the US somedayres. 77 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: Yes, and Camillo joins me. Now, Camillo is great reporting. 78 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 2: Thanks to him for those who are the migrants you 79 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: spoke with who are stuck there sleeping outdoors. Remind us 80 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 2: again why they are there and they have hope. But 81 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: what's next for them? 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 6: Right? 83 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 3: The simple answer, John, is that they're growing increasingly desperate. 84 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 3: The Biden administration, as you know, has set up the 85 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 3: system to allow some migrants to enter the US legally 86 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: at official border crossings if they are able to secure 87 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 3: an appointment through a smartphone app, but that process is 88 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:56,919 Speaker 3: capped at fifteen hundred spots per day, and that the 89 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: man in Mexico we found is far higher. And so 90 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: many of these migrants are waiting months, as many as 91 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: six months, we heard to get an appointment, and some 92 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 3: of them are growing desperate and choosing to try to 93 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 3: cross illegally into the US, as we saw these migrants 94 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 3: try to do in the story, and what is in 95 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 3: their way for those people who are trying to cross 96 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 3: the border illegally are these layers of fencing and razor 97 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 3: wire that Texas is put in place to prevent migrants 98 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 3: from accessing border patrol agents, federal agents who can allow 99 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: the migrants who request asylum. Texas, as you know, has 100 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 3: no jurisdiction to process migrant migrants rather under immigration laws, 101 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 3: and so they cannot begin the asylum process with Texas officials. 102 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 2: And just so just quickly do they are? They using 103 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 2: the app, trying to use the app and it's just clogged. 104 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 3: Those you talks, some of them are, and they're telling 105 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 3: us that they grew desperate and that they gave up 106 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 3: on trying because they woke up every morning at nine 107 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 3: am local time to get an appointment, but the appointments 108 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 3: go very quicker. 109 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: Quickly, tell me what Mexico is doing to correct do well. 110 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 3: Mexico has staged an aggressive and massive have cracked down 111 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 3: on migrants who are journeying north towards the US since 112 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: the beginning of a new round of negotiations in December, 113 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 3: when illegal crossings dropped sword Rather, Mexico has been stopping 114 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 3: more US bound migrants from boarding trains and buses that 115 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 3: would get them closer to American soil, and they're also 116 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 3: deporting more migrants to southern Mexico. 117 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 2: Tell me quickly, Camillo about the executive order, Where's that 118 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 2: stand inside the Biden ministry. 119 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: Sources familiar with the Biden administration's deliberations on immigration tell 120 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 3: me that President Biden is indeed considering and weighing whether 121 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: to invoke as a secutive authority to try to deter 122 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 3: migrants from cross from the US illegally. One proposal would 123 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 3: involve him invoking an executive power known as two twelve 124 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: F that allows presidents to suspend the entry of migrants 125 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 3: and foreigners when it is determined that their arrival would 126 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 3: be detrimental to US interest, but that is still up 127 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 3: in the air, we know, and of course any executive 128 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 3: order on immigration, as has been the case on the 129 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 3: publican and democratic administrations, would be challenging federal court. 130 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,479 Speaker 1: Let me just hit pause there. I wanted you to 131 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: hear this entire report because there's two things that are happening. One, 132 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: you have a media that is giving you this report 133 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: and they're doing it in a way that makes it 134 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: seem like Texas is evil. And then they say there's 135 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: an aggressive crackdown by Mexico, but they won't act like 136 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: Mexico is evil in the same way that Texas is 137 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 1: for stopping people as millions of people are invading Mexico. 138 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: And that's a fact. Excuse me invading Texas from Mexico. 139 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: You have this standard which is if you protect your 140 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: border while you're being invaded, that somehow you're being inhumane 141 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: because you're using razor wire to stop people from invading, 142 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: which is also again completely insane. But did you notice 143 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: at the very end of that report, and I'm going 144 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: to call it right now, at the very end of 145 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: that report, you probably heard it, and what was said 146 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: there at the very end of that report, they said, 147 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: out of nowhere that Joe Biden is thinking about some 148 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: executive actions. So those executive actions, to be clear, would 149 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: be executive actions that would be the same thing that 150 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: Trump did to secure the border and have the most 151 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: secure border in my lifetime, that they then said Democrats 152 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: said was in humane. Right, remember when they said it 153 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: was again in humane. Now they're saying it's not in humane. 154 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: And this is going to happen, is my gut, pretty 155 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: close to election day, where the President is going to 156 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: admit that the border has become such an issue for 157 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: him that he's got to act like he's doing something 158 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: to fix the border so that people that are unhappy 159 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: with him will say, well, I mean, okay, finally fixed it, 160 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: or he's fighting back of it like he's starting to 161 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: fix it, like he's moving it in the right direction. 162 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: CBS News was soft launching that initiative for this White 163 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: House full stop. And that is the part that's the 164 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: most annoying to me, is that they're doing it and 165 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: floating it and getting people's like getting their minds around 166 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: it just so they can then actually do it. But 167 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: they don't want it to look like they're really cracking down. 168 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: They want it to look like they have no choice, right, 169 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 1: There's just no choice here. So let me tell you 170 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: about Patriot Mobile. For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been 171 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. Why does that matter 172 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: to you, Because if you're with Big Mobile, then you're 173 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: giving big donations every time you pay your bill to 174 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,319 Speaker 1: liberal causes, liberal candidates, liberal organizations, and you may actually 175 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: be helping fund Plan Parenthood. Now, when I found that 176 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 1: out years ago, I made the switch to Patriot Mobile. 177 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: And look, switching cell phone providers was not easy until 178 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: well recently. It's now twenty twenty four and I had 179 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: to switch a line the other day. 180 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 3: It was easy. 181 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: I didn't have to go into a store. I didn't 182 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,319 Speaker 1: have to wait on the phone for hours on end. 183 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: In fact, the entire process switching from one provider to 184 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: another took me about ten minutes. Yes, that is now 185 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,200 Speaker 1: how easy it is with technology to switch. You can 186 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: keep your same cell phone number you have right now, 187 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: your same device you have in your hand, or you 188 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,679 Speaker 1: can upgrade to a new one if you want to. Now, 189 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: the best part about Patrion Mobile is not only do 190 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: you get the same coverage you're used to, because they 191 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: use the same exact towers you're using right now. But 192 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: every time you pay your bill, about five percent of 193 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: that bill actually goes back to fight for what we 194 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: believe in at no extra cost to you. Yeah, you'll 195 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: save money usually on your cell phone bill while supporting 196 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: conservative causes. They get money every single month to groups 197 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: that support free speech, groups that support religious freedom, and 198 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: most importantly for me, groups that support the sanctity of 199 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: life protecting unborn babies. They also are huge advocates for 200 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,239 Speaker 1: the Second Amendment, and they get back to our military, 201 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: our veterans, and our wounded warriors as well as our 202 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: first responder heroes. So make a difference with every text, 203 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: with every phone call. 204 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:24,719 Speaker 6: Just go to. 205 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben that's Patriot Mobile dot 206 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: com slash Ben, or call them nine to seven to 207 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: two Patriot and get free activation when you use the 208 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: offer code Ben join me.

It is something they're now moving towards. They're 212 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: concerned about it, and you should be concerned about it. 213 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: House Speaker Mike Johnson call on Congress this past week 214 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: to pass his new Election Integrity Bill, which he claims 215 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: will prevent non citizens from voting in federal elections. This 216 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: is important because there's so many undocumented immigrants that Democrats 217 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: are trying to get to vote in our elections, and 218 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: some of them are actually allowed to vote in local elections, 219 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 1: which is a massive problem. Democrats are saying, well, it's 220 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: already illegal, so don't worry about it. You get to 221 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: decide on which side of that you want to be. 222 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: They but very very frustrating battle. 223 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 7: Now. 224 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 1: The fact that we're even having to have this debate 225 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: or fight over if non citizens should be able to 226 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:41,840 Speaker 1: vote in our elections is insane. Also, something else I 227 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: want to throw on your radar screen. And not only 228 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: is it that the gopism Bilda Bill last week to 229 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 1: bar non citizens from voting in federal elections, prohibiting something 230 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: that already is illegal to address a problem Whall makers 231 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: are saying is a problem because of what Democrats are doing. 232 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 1: But Speaker Johnson was also last week and telling reporters 233 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: that Republicans are motivated by a institution seeking another law 234 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: that would limit the voting of US citizens, saying, this 235 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: is the big problem, saying, and again, I'm going to 236 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: give you the quote. We all know intuitively that a 237 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: lot of illegals are voting in federal elections, but it's 238 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: not been something that is easily provable. We don't have 239 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: that number. This legislation will allow us to do exactly that. 240 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: It will prevent that from happening. And if someone tries 241 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: to that's an legal immigrant vote in our elections, it 242 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: will now be unlawful within the states. That's why we're 243 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: doing this. Federal law since ninety six is banned non 244 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,599 Speaker 1: citizens from voting in federal elections in many states have 245 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: pass laws that do the same for local elections. But 246 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 1: Johnson is making it clear now that we need to 247 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: have some reporting on this so we can figure out 248 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: how bad it actually is. Johnson saying, it's clear that 249 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: it's happening, we just don't know to what extents. Johnson 250 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: is making it clear that this is a issue moving 251 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 1: forward in the election that should matter now. Democrats are 252 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,319 Speaker 1: responding by making it real simple. They're saying, look, it's 253 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: already illegal. This is ridiculous, this is anti immigration, this 254 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 1: is anti minorities. Is anti immigrant, bigoted legislation, is how 255 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: it's been described, and so therefore, since it is all 256 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: of those things, you shouldn't support it. Now I understand 257 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: exactly why Democrats don't want to support this legislation, and 258 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: the reason why is they want to allow illegal immigrants 259 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: to vote or have the ability to get in on 260 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: these elections because they believe, based on their data, that 261 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: overwhelming illegal immigrants will vote for the party that's made 262 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: it easy for them to break into America, right, I mean, 263 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: that's what this is all about, is about allowing them 264 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: to break in and having a wide open southern border. 265 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: I go back to that report that I played for 266 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 1: you just a few minutes ago from c and what 267 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: did CBSA. They're like, Wow, you don't understand, right, Like, 268 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: like you don't understand just how bad it is. You 269 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: don't understand how inhumane what Texas doing trying to secure 270 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: their border with millions of illegal immigrants coming in. You 271 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: just can't comprehend just how bad it is. I'm sorry, 272 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: I laugh. It's the way that they're trying to have 273 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: it both ways here, Like it's just laughable, it's embarrassing, 274 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: it's it's embarrassing, it's laughable, but it's also not surprising 275 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: at all. What Texas has been forced to do is 276 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: what many other states I think are going to do. 277 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 1: We also have some new audio coming in the President 278 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: of the United States of America Trump speaking ahead of 279 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen's testimony in New York City. I want you 280 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: to hear what he had to say a moment ago 281 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: in New York. 282 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 6: Listen. But the big thing today seems to be the Times. 283 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 6: I'm sure the Times is through respect him for at 284 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 6: least letting it come out. And there it is struck, 285 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 6: leading by a lot in every state, every swing state, 286 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 6: leading by a lot. This trial is rigged. It's dishonest. 287 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 6: It's a disgrace to New York. It's a disgrace to 288 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 6: the country. I should be out campaigne now instead of 289 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 6: sitting in a very cold courthouse all day long. This 290 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 6: is a Biden prosecution. It's election interference at a level 291 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 6: that nobody in this country has ever seen before. 292 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: This is for. 293 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 6: Third world countries, not for the USA, thank you very much. 294 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: It's for third world countries, not for the USA. The 295 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: President also saying that this is about the judge and 296 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: corruption and what's happening in New York. Li'sten carefully, that's 297 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: what Biden. 298 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 6: This will comes from Biden to the White House, by 299 00:16:55,560 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 6: the way, and they have that top equal here. He 300 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 6: can't when he can't put two sentences together, He's the 301 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 6: worst president in the history of our country. Can't speak, 302 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 6: can't walk off a helicopter, can't walk off a playing 303 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 6: can't walk off of stage. And the only way they 304 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 6: think they can win is if they can do something 305 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 6: with job, because we have an incompetent, the worst president 306 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 6: in the history of the United States of America, Jonathan. Generally, 307 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 6: after Bragg closes the prosecution's case, the defense will make 308 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 6: a standard motion for dismissal Mershid who is so through 309 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 6: and so conflicted like no judge has ever been. And 310 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 6: the presslers don't want to write about it, but you 311 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 6: know exactly what we're saying. Merciad should grant that motion 312 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 6: for dismissal. There's been no showing a crime. They failed 313 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 6: to protect the rights of the defendant from a baseless, 314 00:17:54,280 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 6: politically motivated prosecution. That's Jonathan's internally. All very talented legal experts. 315 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: You know, you listen to this and you hear them 316 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:10,399 Speaker 1: say it's coming from the Biden White House. It is. 317 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: The Biden White House is sitting there going after the 318 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: former president who's the leader, as you just mentioned, and 319 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: the Biden White House is trying to distract you with 320 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,359 Speaker 1: anything they can, Like, Hey, we're gonna we're gonna go 321 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 1: hard on Israel all of a sudden.

Wait what hey, We're 323 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: gonna say that Texas is evil because they're trying to 324 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: secure the border with Texas and not allow millions to 325 00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: come in. Hey, we think every legal immigrant in this 326 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: country should be able to vote, but we don't want 327 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 1: to put a law out there that says they can't vote. 328 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 1: And we're gonna say the Republicans are evil. Hey, I mean, 329 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: what's next. We're gonna have balloons flying over this country 330 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: that are taking spy satellite pictures that we're not going 331 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: to get shot down. Oh wait, we already had that. 332 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,440 Speaker 1: I mean, the list goes on and on. I'm waiting 333 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: for a full press conference from Biden now on Area 334 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: fifty one, Like what's going to be the next distraction 335 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: to get you to not look at the reality of 336 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 1: what's happening?

All right, let me take a moment and 347 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: talk to you real quick about your retirement and inflation 348 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: and the eroding of the power of the dollar. Right now, 349 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: inflation is well above what the Fed's target rate is. 350 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,879 Speaker 1: You know what's happened. Consumer prices are much higher than 351 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: they were last year, the year before, and the year 352 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,880 Speaker 1: before that. That's why all of us seen a financial 353 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: plan that ensures that money that we say today will 354 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: be enough for us tomorrow. And that's why I've diversified 355 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: my investments to include gold and silver. Now, there are 356 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: a lot of gold and silver companies. You hear them 357 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 1: every day. If you listen to conservative podcasts or talk radio. 358 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 1: If you watch TV conservative networks, you'll see tons of companies. Well, 359 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: let me tell you about Freedom Gold USA. Reason why 360 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 1: I love them.

So the ones that you hear from, they're 367 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: going to charge you, on average twenty five to thirty 368 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 1: percent more than what you're gonna pay.

It's a crime then, in which 390 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 6: prosecutors won't even tell the defender of. 391 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 3: What it is. 392 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 6: I have no idea what they're even doing. We have records, 393 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 6: and they talked about bookkeeping. The only thing doubt in 394 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 6: the bookkeeping is that we call a legal expense a 395 00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 6: legal expense. We don't want a construction expense. We don't 396 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 6: say for a concertinge worm, we don't say for elect 397 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 6: goal warwer. 398 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 8: We paid a lawyer a legal expense, and we have 399 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 8: a legal. 400 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,400 Speaker 6: Expense is illegal expense. It's marked out in the book. 401 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 6: Legal expense is perfectly marked out the other side doesn't 402 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 6: know how to handle it, but they say, let's indict 403 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 6: him anyway, because. 404 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: By the way, I love how President Trump is doing 405 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: these press conferences beforehand walking out talking to media. It's 406 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 1: the right thing to do. By the way, Annie McCarthy 407 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: on the Trump trial, as this thing is continuing, here's 408 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 1: what he said a moment ago. 409 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 9: Hey, all right, Andy McCarthy, even right in all weekends, now, 410 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 9: is your chance, all right to spill what you're thinking 411 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 9: about fraud? Has the state proven well that fraud has 412 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 9: taken place. 413 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 7: No, as Jonathan's pointed out, they haven't come close to 414 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 7: proving that fraud has taken place. And it's they don't 415 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 7: just have to prove that fraud has taking place. They 416 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 7: have to prove that it was fraud that included a 417 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 7: specific intent to commit another crime, which we believe is 418 00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 7: a federal campaign finance crime. It's astonishing that we don't. 419 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,600 Speaker 7: We can't say that with complete certainty. That's supposed to 420 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 7: be spelled out in the indictment. But there's not a 421 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 7: scintilla of evidence that Trump was even thinking about federal 422 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 7: campaign law, let alone that they conspired to violate it. 423 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 7: And I think it's important to make this distinction. You know, 424 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 7: you can make an agreement, which, as Jonathan just said, 425 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 7: is a legal a rayment to not disclose or to 426 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 7: try to bury politically embarrassing information. You could absolutely intend 427 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 7: to do that. That doesn't mean that you were even 428 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 7: thinking about the federal campaign finance laws, much less willfully 429 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 7: violating them beyond a reasonable doubt, which is what Bragg 430 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 7: has to prove here to get a conviction, at least 431 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 7: as a matter of law. Whether they can sway the 432 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 7: jury is another matter. And the final thing I would 433 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 7: say about this is you can put somebody who is 434 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 7: even a convicted perjurer on the stand, But generally, the 435 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 7: agreement that a prosecutor makes to a jury, in terms 436 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 7: of the commitment that you make in the opening statement 437 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 7: and the way you try the case, is that we're 438 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 7: not going to ask you to convict on the basis 439 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 7: of a perjurer's testimony unless we can show you a 440 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 7: document or other testimony or something that corroborates that witness 441 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 7: on this disputed point. To repeat what Jonathan just said 442 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 7: as starkly as I can, they are asking this jury. 443 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 7: They have to ask this jury if they're going to 444 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:15,640 Speaker 7: convict on fraud to accept this guy's uncorroborated testimony despite 445 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 7: his mountainous credibility problems. That is not something a prosecutor 446 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 7: would ordinarily do, which is why I think the prosecutors 447 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 7: in my old office, the Southern District of New York 448 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 7: decided not to pursue this case. 449 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,119 Speaker 1: You listen to the facts there from Andy, and you 450 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: look at this. I don't think they've come close to 451 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: this at all, and to making this case. I don't 452 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 1: think they've come even close. And Jonathan Turley said one 453 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 1: other thing about this when he was asked about it, 454 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 1: and Turley's point I think was really really interesting. He 455 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: said this about the DA brag and how he's solely 456 00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: relying on a motivated judge that hates Trump and motivated 457 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: jury that ninety percent of them would have voted against 458 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: Trump re intrtd. 459 00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 8: Because the judge is seated and the jury is being 460 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 8: walked into the courtroom now and Jonathan Turley, Any McCarthy, 461 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 8: and Johnna Spillboard join our coverage for the best legal 462 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 8: analysis you'll see all day. Jonathan Turley, let me start 463 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 8: with you as Michael Cohen, who is known as a 464 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 8: serial perjurer could be the witness we hear from today. 465 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,200 Speaker 4: That's right, and his role here is quite telling because 466 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: the government has yet to establish what are called the 467 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: elements of any crime in this case, so they're at 468 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 4: the end of their witness list and it's now becoming 469 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 4: a parent what the strategy is, and that is the 470 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 4: Bragg is relying on a motivated judge and a motivated 471 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 4: jury to take him where he needs to go for conviction. 472 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,480 Speaker 4: But before he gets there, he has to be able 473 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 4: to credibly argue that someone, anyone said that there was 474 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 4: direct evidence that Trump not only wanted to keep this 475 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 4: silent that's not a crime, but intentionally committed fraud, intentionally 476 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 4: wanted this denotation as a legal expense to conceal a crime. 477 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 4: Michael Cohen appears to be the person that he's going 478 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: to do that. Now you can look at that and say, 479 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 4: but who would believe someone that, just a few weeks 480 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 4: ago is denounce as a serial perjurer by another judge 481 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 4: And the answer is it doesn't matter because Bragg knows 482 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 4: that Trump can't take the stand after earlier rulings by 483 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 4: the judge in this case. So Cohen's testimony will not 484 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 4: be contradicted by Trump. So what Bragg will argue is, 485 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 4: you may think he's a liar, you may think that 486 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 4: he's a bottom feeder, but that's a question of credibility judge, 487 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 4: and so this has to go to the jury. That's 488 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 4: the strategy. 489 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 1: So there it is. You're hoping that the books are 490 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: cooked enough with a liberal jury and one of the 491 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: most liberal areas of the country that voted ninety percent 492 00:27:56,760 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: against Trump in the last election.
