1 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,680 Speaker 1: On this episode of Newsworld, Chaos at the Border, lawfare 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: targeting former President Trump, DEEI, and the military, the COVID 3 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: cover up. These are just a few of the topics 4 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,639 Speaker 1: addressed in the new book by Tom Fitton, Rights and 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 1: Freedoms in Peril, an investigative report on the left's attack 6 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: on America. Tom and his team in Judicial Watch discuss 7 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: how the progressive movement is threatening America's institutions and undermining 8 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: core principles that make this country a beacon of hope 9 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: to the world. Here to discuss his new book, I'm 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: really pleased to welcome my guest, Tom Fitton. He is 11 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: the president Judicial Watch and brings thirty years experience in 12 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: conservative public policy to America's largest and most effective government 13 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: watchdog organization. He is a real fighter and somebody who 14 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: I've admired for a long time. Tom, Welcome and thank 15 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,559 Speaker 1: you for joining me on news World. 16 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: I appreciate the invitation and I'm pleased to be here 17 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 2: with you. As you know that it's a mutual admiration 18 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: society here. Appreciate your leaders Listen, you do great work. 19 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: But I'm curious, can you share a bit about your 20 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: background and what led you to become involved in government accountability. 21 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 2: I was in a middle class family, right to use 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: the phrase. My father was a supermarket manager. My mother 23 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: raised ten kids, became a nurse, a right to life activist, 24 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: you know. I went to school down here at George 25 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 2: Washington University, and my first job was for Morton Blackwell, 26 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: the conservative activist teaches young folks how to lead. And 27 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 2: I've just been in the movement ever since. And I 28 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 2: came over to Judicial Watch, which we're celebrating thirty years now, 29 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 2: and I came over in ninety eight because I kind 30 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 2: of liked this aggressive approach to dealing with the problems 31 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: we face. We had these corruption issues. The left, as 32 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: you were called back then, they were the googo people, 33 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 2: they were the good government people, public citizen, these left 34 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: leaning groups. They used Floya to essentially harass the national 35 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: security establishment that was trying to protect us against communism 36 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: at the time. And so Judial Watch came in. We 37 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 2: used Floya to advance our values. We recognized when you 38 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: had big government, you normally had big corruption, and that 39 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: the whole journalistic enterprises that were underway at the time 40 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 2: and still largely are through the legacy media was uncovering 41 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 2: that government wasn't doing enough to help the beneficiaries of 42 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: government large as right, that was their idea of government investigations, 43 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: and we obviously took a different approach. You know, we 44 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: had these Clinton scandals, and then I think President Bush 45 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: came in kind of slept walk through the issues that 46 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 2: he herided in terms of the lack of confidence that 47 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 2: people had in the operations of government, and then things 48 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: metastasize under Obama. And I just want to return to normalcy. 49 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 2: I mean, the Clinton years, despite the impeachment, were relatively 50 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: normal in terms of the sorts of corruptions we face. 51 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 2: With him, it was this personalized corruption, some abuses of power. 52 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 2: But it's kind of gone off the scale these days, 53 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 2: at least as I've looked back over the decades. 54 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: Do you think that George W just didn't get it? 55 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: I recall him coming in and say, well, you know, 56 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: we have to move on, right. And I think people 57 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 2: get frustrated that when they see evidence of corruption and 58 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: that nothing much is done about it or effective in 59 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,840 Speaker 2: terms of holding folks accountable. And I think that's a mistake. 60 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: And there's a reason that you know, when folks like 61 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: Trump come in and at least express a willingness to 62 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 2: do something about it. We can talk about how effective 63 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: the administration was or wasn't last term in doing that. 64 00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: There's this overwhelming public support. To me, was no surprise 65 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: Trump one. His approach on things was very judicial Watchee. 66 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 2: There's a real problem in Washington that needs to be addressed, 67 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 2: and obviously he did it in a much more blunt 68 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: way than we do. My advice to politicians at both 69 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,159 Speaker 2: parties knew is that going after government corruption is something 70 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,799 Speaker 2: that appeals to everyone. I don't understand why there isn't 71 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 2: more political interest in doing it, or even appearing to 72 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: do it. 73 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: Over eighty percent of the country believes corruption is a 74 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: major problem, and overwhelmingly, by better than three to one, 75 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: they would like to have a president who focuses on 76 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: rooting out corruption more than a president who's either a 77 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: liberal or conservative. 78 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: But it occurs to me kind of looking at these 79 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: so called revolutions abroad, a lot of that is sparked, 80 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: and I'm convinced you can throw a lot of political 81 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: dissonance in jail as a dictator or corrupt government. It 82 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 2: doesn't get too many people excited, but I tell you 83 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 2: you get in a way of people going about their 84 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 2: daily lives because you demand too many bribes. It's the 85 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: corruption in these regimes that often leads to their overthrow 86 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: or dissent in a mass way, and we don't understand that. 87 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 2: I don't think as well here in the United States. 88 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 2: And like I'm convinced the reason Congress has an approval rating, 89 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: I don't know when the last time it was taken, 90 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: but it's usually in the genes. It's not because they 91 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 2: think Congress isn't doing anything. It's because they think the 92 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: institution's corrupted. And to me, that needs to be addressed. 93 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 2: And as I go through in the book, these are 94 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: kind of topics that would be ongoing and discussion. But 95 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 2: I think we've had this rising communist wing, largely the 96 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: Democratic Party but also independent of it, that kind of 97 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: has just taken on this. They think they can get 98 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 2: past the usual hurdles they have here in the United 99 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: States and destroy the institutions that make this constitutional republic function, 100 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: and those institutions protect our rights and freedoms. And to me, 101 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 2: it's despair and hopeful at the same time. I despair 102 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: because I don't think you need too much in the 103 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 2: way of leadership to get it done. That's despairing that 104 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: it isn't done. But I'm hopeful because on the other hand, 105 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 2: you just need new leaders or leaders that understand the problem. 106 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 2: And I think a lot can be accomplished in addressing 107 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: issues that we're worried about. 108 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: Given everything we've seen with the literal abuse of the 109 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: judicial system by the Biden administration. You know, the motto 110 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: of Judicial Watch is quote because no one is above 111 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: the law. Yeah, now, in your mind, what does that mean? 112 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: We benefit from it because it means that when we 113 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 2: go into court over a FOIA matter, we have the 114 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: most powerful agencies in the history of humanity having to 115 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: come in and be on equal footing with us and 116 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 2: have to tell our lawyers when they're going to give 117 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 2: us documents or explain in a public way why they're 118 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 2: withholding documents, or when we sue these institutions over misconduct, 119 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 2: there's this legal process. So we have the most powerful 120 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: institutions and the people who run them are constrained by 121 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 2: the rule of law. And you know, and the mirror 122 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 2: of that is and I think the crisis we've had 123 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 2: with the lawfare against Trump is that no one's below 124 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 2: the law or below the protection of the law, just 125 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 2: because he's your political enemy. And this isn't about whether 126 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: I like Donald Trump. I don't agree with all of 127 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 2: his policies. I joke, I don't even agree with everything 128 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: I say. The question is do we want to put 129 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 2: our political opponents in jail because we don't like their politics? Now, 130 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: you know you've been a movement leader for decades. I've 131 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: been around town a long time. I haven't been in 132 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: any conservative meetings where we're thinking of, well, how is 133 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 2: it we censor our political opposition? How do we get 134 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: big tech to take down the accounts of our political opponents? 135 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: How is it we put someone in jail or objecting 136 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: to an election, as has been done for virtually every 137 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: four years by the left here. To me, that's like 138 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: an escalation that comes from the radical extremist left that 139 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: we really haven't faced before, at least in the modern era. 140 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: How did Judicial Watch start? 141 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 2: It was started before I got there, but it was 142 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: modeled a little bit on Public Citizen Right and Ralph Nader, 143 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: and it was kind of a conservative alternative to that. 144 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: We saw there was corruption at the Commerce Department at 145 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: the time, and there was kind of your in your 146 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: face buying and selling of public office, or the benefits 147 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: of public office out of the Clinton White House. That 148 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: became readily apparent. So what really got a lot of 149 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 2: press attention to our work was you may recall this, 150 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,479 Speaker 2: we had these trade missions going abroad under the Clint administration, 151 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,719 Speaker 2: which as a conservative is objectionable in the sense that 152 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 2: the government would bring businesses to foreign countries and then 153 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 2: promote their contracts. But in the lead, however, objectionable. They 154 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 2: shouldn't be on the plane unless there was a contract 155 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: to be sold that was legit and was in the 156 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: public interest. There you know, you had to give money 157 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: to the DNC it looks like, or you know, the 158 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 2: Clinton political operation in order to get a seat on 159 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 2: the plane. So we uncovered all of that, and then 160 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: there was this China connection to it as well, because 161 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: Commerce had a bunch of folks associated with looks like China, 162 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 2: Intel and other folks over there. So it was a 163 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: bit of a rats nest we uncovered at the Commerce Department, 164 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: and it kind of uncovered in some ways China Gate. 165 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 2: And as I talk about it, it's like, boy, it's 166 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,119 Speaker 2: kind of like Joe Biden Hunter and their China connections. 167 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: There's nothing new under this sun in this town. When 168 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 2: it comes to corruption. The countries that were corrupting our 169 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 2: politics back in the nineteen nineties, it's what now, thirty 170 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: years later, they're still doing. 171 00:09:53,720 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: It Now you use Freedom of Information Act requests. How 172 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: important has that system been in making it possible to 173 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: open up government. 174 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: It's been essential. First of all, every government bureaucrat understands 175 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: their activity and documents are covered by the Freedom of 176 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: Information Act. Largely so, just its mere existence has been 177 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 2: a check on government misconduct and abuse, I would argue, 178 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: and it was passed I think, you know, Linda Johnson, 179 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: I guess was kind of forced into signing it, and 180 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: it was relatively unique in the Western world. It was 181 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 2: only when the last few decades did other Western countries 182 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 2: follow up with more significant open records laws. Not only 183 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 2: is it available at the federal level, it's even more 184 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 2: powerfully available at the state level. And what I love 185 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 2: about judicial watches working new is that others are mimicking us. 186 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 2: And now FOYA is a well known tool for conservatives, 187 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,079 Speaker 2: and Congress has gotten tired. At least our friends in 188 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 2: Congress have gotten tired of judicial Watch getting documents they 189 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 2: weren't getting, which led to my understanding to more aggressive 190 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: investigations in recent years. And you know, I remember I 191 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: was at a hotel and there's someone who knew Judicial 192 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: Watch and he obviously was a recent arrival to the country, 193 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: you know, and he gave me the thumbs up and 194 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: he says, you know, FOYA, And I thought, oh boy, 195 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: that's worth everything we've done. I exaggerate, but the idea 196 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 2: that you know, a hotel lying worker knows about FOYA 197 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: is a great accomplishment because it's really a major tool 198 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 2: to hold the government accountable. And we don't get everything 199 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: we want, but we get a lot of what we want. 200 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 2: And the process is important too in holding the government 201 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: accountable when they don't want to give up info. 202 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 1: Do you have particular zone owns you try to focus on. 203 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 2: I joke, we investigate everything, but. 204 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: Then, given limited resources, how do you pick and choose? 205 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: I think they are kind of a series of crises. Right. 206 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: We've got the border crisis, so we focus on that. 207 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 2: We have the law fare against Trump. We've been focusing 208 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 2: on that. These First Amendment issues, that's been a more 209 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,040 Speaker 2: recent focus because frankly, these are new challenges to the 210 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 2: First Amendment. In recent years, we've had increased focus on 211 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: the decision by the left to abandon civil rights, abandon 212 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 2: the idea under the fourteenth Amendment that we all have 213 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: equal protection to the law and no matter our color 214 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 2: or other classification. So that's been a big focus the 215 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,559 Speaker 2: DEI woke racism. If there's a crisis that folks are 216 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: concerned about, it's something we're very interested in. And of 217 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: course election integrity has been key. What I like about 218 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: the book, you know, it's my book, so I yes, 219 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 2: I do like it is that it kind of details 220 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 2: what really went on in twenty twenty in a serious way, 221 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 2: why people were upset about how the election was handled, 222 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 2: and why half the country doesn't have confidence in the 223 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 2: outcome and about seventy five percent of Republicans. And my 224 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: concern is that a lot of what happened in twenty 225 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 2: twenty unless the election on election day is clearly a 226 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 2: win for one of the candidates, where there's going to 227 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: be no change in the outcome as a result of 228 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: post election day counting, we may be in the same 229 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 2: boat again if we don't know who won on election day. 230 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 2: All the issues I talk about in the book counting 231 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 2: ballots after election day, which previously really hadn't been done 232 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: in presidential elections. That to me was like the single 233 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 2: biggest issue in twenty twenty. Trump had the votes to 234 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 2: win on election night and those results were changed as 235 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 2: a result of unprecedented accounting in the Swing States, something 236 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 2: that's never happened before, and I would argue is contrary 237 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 2: to law, but I guess you know, the courts never 238 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,680 Speaker 2: got to the heart of that. So there are continuing challenges. 239 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: We've been doing this work to clean up the voter rolls. 240 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: Doj is supposed to do it, you remember vot voter. 241 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: By the way, they have now filed two lawsuit blocking 242 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: states from taking illegal immigrants off the voter rule. 243 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've taken the position the law that we've used 244 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: to clean up four million names from the roles in 245 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 2: the last year or two. So that requires cleanups. It 246 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: somehow requires you to leave on the roles people who 247 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: on the surface shouldn't be there because they're not citizens. 248 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 2: Talk about a dramatic illustration of maybe what their real 249 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 2: agenda is when it comes to non citizen voting. 250 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: It was remarkable to me. I just noticed that Glenn 251 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: young kind had made some comments because Virginia is one 252 00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: of the states that is now being sued by the 253 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: federal government for trying to take non citizens off the 254 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: voting rules. 255 00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, and Alabama, I think issued as well, and they've 256 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: given us zero help in cleaning up roles in any 257 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 2: other state. I'm talking millions of names are on the rolls, 258 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: and these are people who by and large have moved 259 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 2: or died and haven't voted in a decade. I mean, 260 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 2: we're not talking about someone, Oh, you didn't vote last election, 261 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 2: let's take your name off the rolls. We're talking about 262 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: people who have been active for years. There's evidence they're 263 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: not there anymore by simple virtue of their moving or 264 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 2: being inactive, and they don't want to remove their names. 265 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 2: And my view is, why would you want dirty election roles? 266 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: And to me, it's a pool of voters, a pool 267 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: of names that can be used to draw from for fraud, 268 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 2: and that's why the law requires you take reasonable steps 269 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: to clean up the roles. California, they hadn't cleaned the 270 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: roles in twenty years till we started snooping around. 271 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: Do you see this whole process? Clyst and I were 272 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: actually at the White House election night of twenty twenty, 273 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: and everything looked amazingly good until all of a sudden, 274 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: about eleven thirty state after state stopped counting, and I thought, 275 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 1: this is really a bad sign. 276 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if that happens again this year, if 277 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: I were Trump, and it's like they're trying to normalize it. 278 00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: There have been three stories I count in the Washington Post. 279 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: CBS just said another story, Oh, we may not know 280 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,480 Speaker 2: who won on election day. Remember in twenty twenty, and 281 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 2: they did the same thing back then. Pennsylvania didn't decide 282 00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 2: who won till four days after the election. That's not normal, 283 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: it's not right. It undermines confidence in the outcome of 284 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 2: the election. And to me, that's reason enough to question 285 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: the outcome. You know, it's one thing to be counting 286 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: at alex into three in the morning, right because you 287 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: couldn't get through them all but days that's a conscious 288 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,800 Speaker 2: effort to not do your job, and people have a 289 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: right to question what's going on if that happened. 290 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: I recently saw the movie Recount, which was made in 291 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: two thousand and eight with Kevin Spacey, and it's about 292 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 1: the Florida recount in two thousand, and it's really well done, 293 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: and it gives you this sense of these things going 294 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: to get very weird. 295 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 2: We were down there in two thousand afterwards, going by 296 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 2: and trying to do an audit, and what we had 297 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 2: uncovered was that you could ask for ballots under the 298 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 2: Sunshine Law on Florida, and Judicial Watch unfortunately gave or 299 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: fortunately because it was his right to challenge the election right. 300 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: I didn't want to gel Gore, but Gore's people said, well, 301 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,400 Speaker 2: if Judicial Watch is going to get these ballots, why 302 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: don't we just recount them again and again and again. 303 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 2: Ron Klain saw that, well, judicial Watch can get these ballots, 304 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 2: why don't we just do these recounts before Judicial Watch 305 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,359 Speaker 2: gets their hands on them. Bush was certified the win right, 306 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 2: and it's one thing to do recounts after an election, 307 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 2: but you got to figure out who won on election 308 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: day and federal law this is an interesting legal issue 309 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 2: as far as I'm concerned. It says you've got to 310 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 2: pick the electors on election day. If it doesn't mean 311 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 2: you need to know who want on election day, then 312 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: what is the deadline? Then we know the French have 313 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: a one day election, that's right. 314 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 1: And they somehow magically get it all counted. 315 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: That France can do it. Philadelphia, Ken, Well, you would. 316 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: Think you recently sued the US Air Force Academy over 317 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: its DEI programs. Can you sort of explain what you're doing. 318 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 2: There's this critical race theory programming at our military academies. 319 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 2: It's at West Point, it's at the Naval Academy, it's 320 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 2: at the Air Force Academy. We've been working with veterans 321 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,959 Speaker 2: in the case of this recent Air Force lawsuit about 322 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 2: just how extensive it is. And it is extensive. You 323 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 2: can't get through the training there without being propagandized and 324 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 2: subject to this anti American, woke, racist approach to our 325 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 2: history and our interactions with fellow citizens. And what I'm 326 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 2: concerned about in these academies is that these are where 327 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 2: our rising leaders in the military are being trained. It's 328 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 2: not just the next generation, it's the next generations of 329 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 2: our leadership, and they're being alienated, or there's an attempt 330 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 2: to alienate them from the nation for which they've gone 331 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 2: to school and are devoting to portionarial lives to defend. 332 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 2: And it's got to be exposed so it can be 333 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 2: stopped and that's what we aim to do. We're kind 334 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,199 Speaker 2: of more familiar with what's happening in the schools with 335 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 2: the systemic racism argument, this quasi Marxist approach to American history. Well, 336 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 2: why would we be forcing our young men and women 337 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,640 Speaker 2: in West Point and the Air Force Academy to go 338 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: through that type of struggle session? And that's what it is. 339 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: It's one of the, if not the organizing principle of 340 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 2: the Biden administration which is pushing this DEI approach. They're 341 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: obsessed by it, and we just got documents from the 342 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: Secret Service the other day. Their DEI language was every action, 343 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 2: every day needs to advance the DEI agenda. And it 344 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 2: helps explain, you know, many ways our schools are failing, 345 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 2: Our governments are failing because they don't want to do 346 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,360 Speaker 2: the things that people want them to do. They don't 347 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 2: want to teach where you can write and arithmetic. The 348 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 2: Secret Service is less interested in protection than it should be, 349 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 2: but they are hyper interested in advancing these cultural issues 350 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 2: within their agencies. And our militaries needs to be focused 351 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:02,400 Speaker 2: on identifying, stopping, and defeating killing the enemy. Instead, we've 352 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 2: got this anti americanism poised as diversity training being foisted 353 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 2: upon our cadets in those academies. 354 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: Is it really true that there was an army training 355 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,680 Speaker 1: program that had a slide on terrorist groups that included 356 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: national right to life? 357 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 2: There was Again we're told that was an accident, right, 358 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: there are no accidents When that sort of thing happens. 359 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 2: The military bureaucracy has redundancy of approval that would make 360 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 2: starsist Russia blush. So you can be sure that not 361 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: only was it in that one area, but it's throughout 362 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 2: the army. And so if you're a conservative Christian concerned 363 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 2: about pro life issues, you're seen as literally the enemy 364 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: by the army, you know. And they talk about Trump 365 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: wanting to use the military against the American people, they're 366 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 2: literally training the military to see core American values as 367 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 2: something that needs to be suppressed. 368 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: Now you have a similar thing. You guys have gotten 369 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: involved with Maryland and they apparently had extraordinarily direct linking 370 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: of MEGA with hate crimes and lynching, and it's kind 371 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: of unbelievable. 372 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 2: It's been a hotbed for radicalism in the left for 373 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 2: some time, and in that case, they're abusing kids. We've 374 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 2: gotten documents showing support for segregation in some of these programs. 375 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,200 Speaker 2: That's how far out they are. They've completely abandoned any 376 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 2: semblance of support for civil rights. We got a loss 377 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 2: in Minneapolis the school Teachers' union, big school district out there, 378 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 2: the biggest in the state. They forced through a contract 379 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 2: that requires in the event of layoffs, they have a 380 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: seniority protection system, which is objectionable, but that's typical in 381 00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 2: the public union contract. So if there's a layoff, the 382 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 2: first hired usually is first fired, other than the fact 383 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,440 Speaker 2: if they belong to a certain race. So if they're 384 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 2: subject to layoffs but they're black, they go to the 385 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 2: next person in line, who's white, and then they get 386 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 2: fired or laid off. Completely racist, completely discriminatory. And we're 387 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 2: in court. The unions are fighting us tooth and nail 388 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 2: on this, and now to court at the Supreme court level. 389 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 2: The state is deciding whether a taxpayer has a right 390 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 2: to challenge that blatant government racial discrimination. 391 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: How can that not be a violation of the Civil 392 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: Rights Acts? 393 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 2: Where they're suing just a department a wall on it. California, 394 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: they had laws that they passed requiring quotas on the 395 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 2: boards of public companies based in California, race, ethnicity, gender, 396 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 2: and we actually beat those back and got them ruled 397 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 2: constitutional under the California Constitution from the local court system there. 398 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,439 Speaker 2: It kind of shows you they are extremism in these areas. 399 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 2: I never thought we'd have to defend why it is 400 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: you can't fire someone on the basis of their race 401 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: or lay them off explicitly on the basis of their race. 402 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: It used to be they kind of gussied it all 403 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 2: up right and disguised by calling it affirmative action or diversity. Here, 404 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: it's if you're a member of an underrepresented group, you're protected. 405 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 2: It's pure racism, it is. And this is where the 406 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: left is right now. 407 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: Let me ask you one last thing, which is where 408 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,199 Speaker 1: has Judicial Watch been on the whole question of the border. 409 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: Well, we've gone down there repeatedly. We've tried to expose 410 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 2: and stop the sanctuary policies that if we had a 411 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 2: wall one hundred feet high, it will never be enough 412 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: if every city in the country provides aid and comfort 413 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 2: and enables aliens to reside there illegally and work there illegally. 414 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: And we've been exposing the national security threats on the border, 415 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 2: and the book exposes, and this is what Brett was 416 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,360 Speaker 2: trying to get at in his interview with the Vice President, 417 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 2: that these were specific lawyers issued by executive orders and 418 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 2: directors issued by President Biden in his administration that essentially 419 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,639 Speaker 2: viscerated our border security and it had to be knowing 420 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 2: it had to be planned. It wasn't like we didn't 421 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 2: have an experience with folks coming across the border in 422 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 2: large numbers if they think the rules aren't being enforced. 423 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 2: We had that issued under Obama, we had it under 424 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 2: the first part of the Trump administration until he got 425 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 2: things under control and they knew exactly what was going 426 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 2: to happen. So the consequences have been economic, criminal in 427 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,959 Speaker 2: terms of our public safety. The political consequence could be 428 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 2: decades in terms of the impact over decades because if 429 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 2: these are are not deported in the next few years, 430 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 2: they're going to be counted in the twenty thirty census, 431 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 2: and states with large immigrant populations, even if they're here illegally, 432 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 2: are going to benefit in terms of congressional apportionment and 433 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 2: votes in the electoral college. So California, they can see 434 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 2: all their normal citizens leave because they don't like the 435 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,680 Speaker 2: leftism there. They don't care because they're going to be 436 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 2: replaced by non citizens. Texas and Florida might benefit as well, 437 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 2: to be fair, but it doesn't make up for the 438 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 2: nonsenizen populations that are elevated in places like Illinois, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, 439 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 2: these blue states. That's twenty to twenty five seats for Democrats. 440 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: When you watch first they let them all come in illegally. 441 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,360 Speaker 1: Then in places like Minnesota where Tim Walls favored allowing 442 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: them to register to drive, allowing them to have free healthcare, 443 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: allowing them to have free education. Then you start having 444 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: these Justice Department lawsuits blocking you from keeping them off 445 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 1: the voting rules. When you do sort of sense that 446 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 1: there's a Democratic Party model here of encouraging illegal immigration 447 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: and then using it to sustain and build up their 448 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 1: own base. 449 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 2: That's right. There's the danger of the voting because it's 450 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,720 Speaker 2: a numbers game. Certain number are going to register, certain 451 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: number are going to vote. But the bigger point is 452 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 2: their mere presence has a significant political impact to the 453 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 2: benefit of the left. And we're talking a number of 454 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: seats in Congress that would take a decade or two 455 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: for Republicans, if ever, to overcome. 456 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 1: Tom I want to thank you for joining me.
