1 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: We're going to talk about institutional trust. Tulsa Gabbard testified today. 2 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: Jeff Clark from the Trump administration joins us. All that 3 00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 1: and more coming up. And I'm right. You ever dated 4 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: somebody or maybe even married somebody who had been in 5 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: a past relationship that wasn't so good for one reason 6 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 1: or another. Alcoholism abused one reason or another. Many people 7 00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,919 Speaker 1: are in that situation. Maybe you're in that situation right now. 8 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: Maybe that's somebody's sitting beside you. Here's something that's true 9 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 1: about that. You, as the person dating the person who 10 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: had someone abused them in the past, you are going 11 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: to have to deal with the fallout from that. It's 12 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: not your fault and it's not their fault, but it 13 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: is something that you are going to have to deal 14 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: with because of something they went through previously. Her ex 15 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: husband was a terrible alcoholic, terrible alcoholic. Last night was 16 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: Saint Patti's Day. You went and cracked a beer. Are 17 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: the wrong with that? She's given you the side eye. 18 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 2: I wish you wouldn't drink. Is there anything wrong with 19 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: having a beer? 20 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 3: No? 21 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 1: Are her feelings on you having a beer understandable after 22 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 1: what she's gone through? 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: They are. 24 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 1: We've talked many times on this show about the relationship 25 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: a people have with their government. This is true in 26 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: every country and the history of the world. How important 27 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: the trust is because there is a relationship, there should be. 28 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: There has to be a relationship that people have to 29 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 1: feel intertwined, but their government, their government has to feel 30 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: intertwined with the people of a country. That is a 31 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: necessary thing for a country to continue long term. And 32 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: if you don't have that, there are a whole host 33 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: of problems come with that. And I warned, and I 34 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 1: know you were warning too, over and over and over 35 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,800 Speaker 1: and over again, that the endless government lies. Endless government lies. 36 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: We had been told about everything underneath the sun. What 37 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: it was doing was it was breaking the people away 38 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: from their government, severing that trust. And what I said, 39 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: and you remember this over and over and over again, 40 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 1: that sometime in the future we were going to have 41 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: to have that trust. It was going to be important 42 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: that that trust was there. And now that it's gone, 43 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 1: it's going to hurt us in ways we couldn't even see. 44 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 2: Look, Iran's a great example. Right now. 45 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: Trump is out there, We're involved in this operation, this warning, 46 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: wrong bombings. They're all kinds of rumors. The Marines are 47 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 1: on the way. We don't know any of that yet. 48 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: Trump says, we're almost done. It might take while we 49 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: don't know. Trump is out there explaining it to the 50 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: American people because remember that here's here's our political situation 51 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 1: here at home. The political situation here at home is 52 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: the Maga faithful, the three time Trump voter, that the 53 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: hardcore Republican they're still in Trump's camp eighty depends on 54 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: what poll it is. They're they're fine with this Iran thing. 55 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: But independents who decide elections are way against it, to 56 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: the tune of like seventy percent. 57 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: They hate it. 58 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: So Trump is understandably out there trying to sell it, 59 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: trying to justify it. 60 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 2: Here he is. 61 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 4: When they say death to America, you should believe them 62 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: because that's what they would have. 63 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 5: If they had a no clear weapon, they would have 64 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 5: used it. 65 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: But they never had the chance. We ever gave him 66 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 2: the chance. 67 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 4: Had we not done this, you would have had a 68 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: nuclear war that would have evolved into World War three. 69 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 4: And more important, this is a war that there would 70 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 4: have been nothing left. 71 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 6: It'll be wrapped up soon. 72 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: We're gonna have a much safer world. 73 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 2: I had an. 74 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 7: Obligation to do. 75 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 4: If you want to see a stock market, could don 76 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 4: start letting him hit you with nukes? 77 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: Okay, okay, they were about to get nukes. This is 78 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: about weapons of mass destruction. Now pause for a second. 79 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: I know you probably have strong feelings about Iran one 80 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: way or the other. You're all about it. It's the 81 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: right thing to do. We had to destroy this evil 82 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: terrorist regime. Speaking the world's safer place. Or you're dead 83 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 1: set against it, we're gonna get bogged down. 84 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: And now this is not about that. 85 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has said repeatedly they were about to get nukes. 86 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 1: They were gonna use nukes. They were about to get nukes, 87 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: weapons of mass destruction. Now, for the sake of argument, here, 88 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: maybe you're dead set against it thing, and that's fine. 89 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: For the sake of argument, Let's say he's being one 90 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: hundred percent honest there. And I have no reason to 91 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: think Trump is lying. But let's say just stay with 92 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: me here. He's being honest there. Maybe he saw it 93 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 1: all written down, he saw all the paperwork that we're 94 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 1: about to have a nuclear weapon. Let's say he's being 95 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: honest there. Well, this is the problem even if he's 96 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 1: being honest. Men who came before him lied repeatedly, and 97 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: now many Americans are jaded on that cell. 98 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm old enough to remember this. 99 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 8: And you can know that our forces will be coming 100 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 8: home as soon as their work is done. Our nation 101 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 8: enters this conflict reluctantly, yet our purpose is sure. The 102 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,799 Speaker 8: people of the United States and our friends and allies 103 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,799 Speaker 8: will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime 104 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,040 Speaker 8: that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder. 105 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: Then we spent twenty years in Iraq and Afghanistan. It 106 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 1: sucks that the current administration has to deal with the 107 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: spouse with trust issues. 108 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: Now. 109 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 1: It sucks, it does, but that is the situation we're in, 110 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: and the government itself only has itself to blame for 111 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: years and years, in years and years of lives. This 112 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: predated George Bush. The studies, all the studies show it 113 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 1: was the Vietnam War. Right up leading up to the 114 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: Vietnam War, the American people had a great deal of 115 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: trust in their government, and then Vietnam War all the 116 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 1: lies that came with it, it severed that trust. And 117 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: since that day, the government has lied over and over 118 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: and over and over again, making those trust issues deeper 119 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: in the dear deeper and deeper. And this is what 120 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 1: I have tried to emphasize time and time again, that 121 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: has to be repaired. It almost has to be priority one, 122 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: or we can't stay a country. We don't believe the 123 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: government anymore. And we're totally justified and feeling that way, 124 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: but we don't believe the government anymore. I mean, look, 125 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: speaking of trust, I remember this. 126 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 6: We were announcing new guidelines for every American to follow 127 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 6: over the next fifteen days as we combat the virus 128 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 6: seats in every one of us as a critical role 129 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 6: to play in stopping the spread and transmission of the virus. 130 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 6: We did this today. This was done by a lot 131 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 6: of very talented people, some of whom were standing with me. 132 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 1: Fifteen days, just fifteen days. 133 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: It's just going to be fifteen days. 134 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: And I want to credit a chief nerd for putting 135 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: together this montage. 136 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 2: It went from fifteen days to this. 137 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: Generally, if you have droplets that come out of a person, 138 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: they generally go down within six feet, So if you're 139 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 3: six feet distance, you're wearing a mask, you don't worry 140 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: about that. The best ppe for the general public if 141 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: possible right now is to maintain the physical and social distancing. 142 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 9: And it cannot practice physical distancing, then are you practicing love? 143 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: Can we still go out for a walk. Yes, you 144 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: can go out for a walk. 145 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 3: You need to stay six feet away from anyone else. 146 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 10: As a bar in Maryland has customers in these big 147 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 10: inner tube things on wheels, and this is supposed to 148 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 10: enforce social distancing. 149 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 11: Guidelines for restaurants vary from state to state. Common rules 150 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 11: include reductions in capacity, keeping tables six feet apart, limiting 151 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 11: the number of people per group, and requiring employees to 152 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 11: wear masks or face coverings. 153 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 12: This is our effort to make sure you have facts 154 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 12: not tape on the floor indicating where customers waiting to 155 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 12: check out should stand. This is at a target in 156 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 12: Seminole County. Similar markers can be seen at a Seminal 157 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 12: County publix. That's because the county issued an executive order 158 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 12: requiring social distancing and businesses must comply. 159 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 13: The greatest risk is moving within six feet of someone's space. 160 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 13: The mayor emphasized awareness of enforcement. Violate social distancing and 161 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 13: you could invite shutdown and criminal choices. 162 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: I've got trust issues. You have trust issues. 163 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 1: The American people have trust issues and were justified. And 164 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: I remember all the smartest people in our society running 165 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: to the television cameras to tell us about the vaccine. 166 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 5: But you don't have a choice. 167 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 2: People act like you have a choice. 168 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 5: People don't feel like going to the stadium when they 169 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 5: might get infected. You know, it's not the guy government 170 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 5: who's saying, okay, just ignore this disease. And you know, 171 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,679 Speaker 5: people are deeply affected by seeing these debts, by knowing 172 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 5: they could be part of the transmission chain, and old 173 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 5: people their parents that grandparents could be affected by this, 174 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 5: and so you don't you know, you don't get to 175 00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 5: say ignore what's going on here. There are there will 176 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 5: be the ability, particularly enriched countries to open up if 177 00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 5: things are done well over the next few months. But 178 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 5: for the world at large, normalcy only returns when we've 179 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 5: largely vaccinated the entire global population. 180 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 3: And so. 181 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, study came out this morning. They studied over a 182 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: million children and found the only children who had this 183 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: myocarditis were children who got the vaccine. The unvaccinated children 184 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: had no cases whatsoever. The government lied to you about 185 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: fifteen days. They lied to you about social distancing. They 186 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: lied to you about the vaccine. They lied and lied 187 00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: and lied, and then told more lies to cover up 188 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 1: their lies. And then when you didn't believe their lies, 189 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: the American President went on camera and told you he 190 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: was losing patience with you. 191 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 14: We're unvaccinated. We are looking at a winner of severe 192 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 14: illness and death. They're unvaccinated. For themselves, their families, and 193 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 14: the hospital. They'll soon overwhelmed. 194 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 2: But there's good news. 195 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 14: If you're vaccinated and you had your booster shot, you're 196 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 14: protected from severe illness and death. 197 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 7: Over two hundred million Americans have gotten at least one shot. 198 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 7: You've been patient, but our patience is wearing thin, and 199 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 7: your refusal has cost all of us. 200 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 2: And now here we are. It's Saint Patty's Day, that 201 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 2: was yesterday. 202 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: You want to have a beer? Do you feel just 203 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: and having a beer? Same Patty's Day? After all? But 204 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 1: your wife was married to an abusive alcoholic before. She's 205 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: got trust issues. Now this is where we are, and 206 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: we have to acknowledge where we are. We have to 207 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 1: figure out a way to work through it. It's this 208 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: goes way beyond the COVID. There would be iron or 209 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: anything else. This is going to come up again and 210 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: again and again and again and again. The government is 211 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 1: going to want us to know something. They're gonna want 212 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 1: us to believe something, and we just don't anymore. It's 213 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: a problem. All that may have made you uncomfortable, but 214 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: I am right. Somebody I do trust is Harmat Dylan 215 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 1: inside the Justice Department. What is happening inside the Justice Department? 216 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: Good things. I'm hearing some good things. We'll talk to 217 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: Harmeat about that. Before we talk to harm Meat. I 218 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: just sleep last night. Hopefully you stuck with one beer. 219 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: You know what I had on Saint Pattis Day? I 220 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,360 Speaker 1: had hot chocolate. It's the work week, Okay, I'm old 221 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 1: and my hot chocolate was dreampowder from Beam.

I at least took it 224 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:17,320 Speaker 2: late ten o'clock last night, sipped. 225 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: On it, gone RAYSI and magnesium and melotone and all 226 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: kinds of things. 227 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: I just went and slept like a little bitty tiny baby. 228 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: You want to sleep like that every single night? 229 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: Have yourself some hot chocolate Shopbeam dot com slash Jesse Kelly, 230 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: We'll be back. 231 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: It allows ice. 232 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 15: To kick tens of billions of people off the rolls, 233 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 15: off the rolls, and they don't tell them until election 234 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 15: day and you show them and you say, you're not 235 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 15: registered anymore. You're not registered here, you're not on the rolls. 236 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 1: Well that's assume Chuck Schumer misspoke with the whole billions thing. 237 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: But millions and billions can get confusing. I'm an idiot anyway, 238 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: But why would the SAYAC kick people off the voter rules? 239 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 2: Joining me now? 240 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: Harmey Dylan, US Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Hey, Harmy, 241 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: maybe you can clear this up, because you're one of 242 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: these smart people. Why would the save AC kicked anybody 243 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: off the voter rules? I don't understand. 244 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 16: Well, you could be kicked off the voter rolls if 245 00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 16: you're not a citizen or you're otherwise ineligible to vote, 246 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 16: which is actually the law and that's what we want. 247 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 16: But otherwise American citizens should have who are alive and 248 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 16: who aren't registered in multiple jurisdictions, should have no concern 249 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 16: about this. This is a this is this would allow 250 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 16: them to vote as before. So that's just hysteria being 251 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 16: harped up by the Democrats, who I think they want loose, 252 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 16: loosey goosey voter roles. 253 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 17: They have them, particularly in blue state. 254 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 16: Our review here at the DOJ, in less than a 255 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 16: year in office, of reviewing close to sixty million voter 256 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 16: records through our federal databases, has shown that there are 257 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 16: over three hundred and thirty thousand dead people on the 258 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 16: voter rolls, and those are in the better states, frankly, 259 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 16: the ones who are cooperating with us, and we've referred 260 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 16: over twenty thousand voter records that are potentially non citizens 261 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 16: for further checking with other databases. And if any of 262 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 16: those people who got on the roles who are not 263 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 16: citizens voted, then those would be referred for criminal prosecution 264 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 16: as well. 265 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: Okay, So the states that are cooperating with you, which 266 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: I'll just go ahead and assume those are mostly red states, 267 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: you've already discovered three hundred thousand dead people in the 268 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 1: voter rules, which of course makes the question there are 269 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: states that. 270 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: Aren't cooperating with you. 271 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,239 Speaker 1: Who are those states and why wouldn't Why wouldn't they cooperate? 272 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 17: Yeah, that's a great question. 273 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 16: And we're suing twenty nine states and the District of 274 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,760 Speaker 16: Columbia and the last wave of states that I sued 275 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 16: include four majority Republican states, West Virginia, Kentucky, Utah. 276 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,600 Speaker 17: And Oklahoma. 277 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 16: And so you know, when you dig in, the kind 278 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 16: of excuses that I've found include, well, our state laws 279 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 16: have some privacy requirements. Even though many of these states 280 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 16: are sharing their databases under agreements with eric and other 281 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 16: liberal groups. Some states, like Washington State, which we're suing, 282 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 16: had hacks many years ago into their drivers and voting 283 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 16: databases and didn't tell the public about them. So scam 284 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 16: artists out there had this information, but they won't give 285 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 16: it to the federal government. Some of them claim that 286 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 16: social security information, which we need to do accurate checking, 287 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 16: is somehow private, even though the United States government issues 288 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 16: that information. And then frankly, it's like Jesse when you're 289 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 16: probably when people come over to the house or even 290 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 16: the cleaning person, you kind of tidy up beforehand. So 291 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 16: now that somebody's looking, they're trying to buy extra time 292 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 16: and tidy up before we look at the voter rules 293 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 16: and how sloppy they are. I mean, that's the reality, 294 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 16: and it's unfortunate because we're entitled to this data and 295 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 16: we're just trying to help states do their job under 296 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 16: federal law, and what we're finding is not comforting. So 297 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 16: this needs to be done, and then it needs to 298 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 16: be done regularly going forward. 299 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: Can and by the way, my wife does that. She 300 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: keeps the house clean, but the second someone comes to visit, 301 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: it's like a five alarm fire where everybody has to 302 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: buckle down and clean and already clean house. 303 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,719 Speaker 2: But that's another story, entirely familiar. Yeah, I have no 304 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 2: doubt about it. Can you help me understand? 305 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: Can the federal government under the Trump administration, can the 306 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: federal government clean these voter rules up? Or can we 307 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: just are are you just on an informational hunt and 308 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: we're banking on scumbag common in his states to clean 309 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: up their own voter rules. 310 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 16: Well, they have a duty to clean it up under 311 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 16: the Help America VODAC, but they don't. This is a 312 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 16: widespread problem, and it isn't just a blue state problem. 313 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 17: I mean, but in a. 314 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 16: Blue state like California, there's zero impetus to do it. 315 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 16: In fact, California kept getting waivers from the federal government 316 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 16: for its data obligations. 317 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 17: It's complete mess over there. 318 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 16: And in twenty seventeen, Los Angeles county settled a case 319 00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 16: from Judicial Watch where they admitted they had over one 320 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 16: million people on the voter rules in that county who 321 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 16: did not belong there because they were dead, they had moved, 322 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 16: or they're otherwise ineligible. 323 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 17: So this is a big problem. 324 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 16: But it's a problem in Texas, it's a problem in 325 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 16: other jurisdictions. Many jurisdictions are complying with us on a 326 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 16: county by county basis. For example, various counties in Florida 327 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 16: have voluntarily uploaded their databases and are getting back the results. 328 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 16: I'm counting those in the ones that I just told you. 329 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 17: So this is a huge problem. 330 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 16: And in the past, the federal government used to charge 331 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 16: states for accessing our federal databases, which is silly. The 332 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 16: President has lifted that requirement. We're here to help, and 333 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 16: we are helping, and I hope that this project is 334 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 16: completed in time for the midterms so that when people 335 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 16: go to the polls, regardless of their party and regardless 336 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 16: of their state, they can feel comfortable in the outcome 337 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 16: of the election. 338 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: Armie, there's something that is a source of frustration for 339 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: I think everybody who watches my show, and that's the 340 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 1: judges every day. 341 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 2: It seems like it's two steps forward, one step back. 342 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: The Trump administration tries to do something and then there's 343 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,000 Speaker 1: some idiot judge somewhere, somehow who puts a stop to it. 344 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 2: Even if it's temporarily. 345 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: Everybody knows the name Boseburg by now, and nobody should 346 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 1: know the name Boseburg. But can we stop that or 347 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: is that just the system we live under? 348 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 2: And that's kind of how it's going to be. 349 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 16: Well, here are the ways you can stop that. First 350 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 16: of all, the president needs the support from the Senate 351 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 16: to confirm his nominees. And there's this archaic concept called 352 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 16: the blue slip process, which is from the bygone days 353 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 16: when the Republicans and Democrats used to cooperate with each other. 354 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 16: But now you basically can have one Democrat and a 355 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 16: state have a veto over that process. And so you know, 356 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 16: that's really slows down the process of filling up the 357 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 16: district court bench. And then there's an impeachment process, which 358 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 16: is the only way to remove a life tenure judge, 359 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 16: and I just don't think we have the numbers or 360 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 16: the will in Congress to accomplish that. 361 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 17: I think there have been judges out there. We've seen 362 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 17: them in the headlines. 363 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 16: I know you're referring to them who literally, you know, 364 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 16: a day or two after a court of Appeals slaps 365 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 16: them down quite aggressively for blatantly violating the Constitution or 366 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 16: federal law, they go and do it again. There's no 367 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 16: punishment for them for doing it, and. 368 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 17: So laws need to be changed. 369 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 16: But for laws to be changed, a party needs to 370 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 16: have a majority, and then also not be playing Patty 371 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 16: Kies in some ancient rituals and just dealing with the 372 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 16: modern realities of how people vote today and understanding that 373 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 16: when the left is in charge, they do it a 374 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 16: certain way and the right is kind of playing with 375 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 16: one hand tied behind its back. And so as that's 376 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,240 Speaker 16: my political analysis, I'm not saying that as a DOJ official, 377 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 16: but that is the. 378 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 17: Problem that we're facing. 379 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 16: But I will tell you as a DOJ official, and 380 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 16: just as a lawyer who goes into court, it's increasing 381 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 16: When I was a young lawyer, you did not necessarily 382 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 16: assume that the knowing who the person was who nominated 383 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 16: the judge, would tell you what the outcome was going 384 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 16: to be. That's increasingly the case today, and that's really 385 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 16: unfortunate because all litigants are entitled to a fair shake 386 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 16: from federal judges. 387 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 17: They should be calling balls and. 388 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,440 Speaker 16: Strikes, not weaponizing a political agenda. But in the last 389 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 16: couple of Democrat administrations, they were able to pack the 390 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,439 Speaker 16: district courts the trial courts with their judges, and we 391 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 16: don't get the same courtesy on our side. So there 392 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 16: is a disproportionate disarmament here that needs to be fit. 393 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: We have a foreign worker problem, harmy Americans training their 394 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 1: foreign replacements only to be fired. As it's happening on 395 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 1: such a regular basis, I know there are lawsuits out there. 396 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: It's a problem, But is it illegal? Is it just 397 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: something I have to pull what's left of my hair 398 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: out over or is there something we can do about this, 399 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: because that's not a thing that should happen. 400 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 16: Well, first of all, the good news is there is 401 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 16: something that we can do about and secondly, the other 402 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 16: good news is this DOJ. 403 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,680 Speaker 17: Is doing something about it. 404 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 16: I have a whole team dedicated to identifying discrimination against 405 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 16: American workers, which is a form of national origin discrimination. 406 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 16: We are working together beyond that project with the Labor 407 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 16: Department and the EEOC on this nationality issue and with 408 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 16: the Labor Department specifically on the abuse of H one 409 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 16: B and other types of worker visas. And so every 410 00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 16: time we find an example of a company, and particularly 411 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 16: a bigger company that is preferring or advertising for jobs 412 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 16: that are open only to H one B workers, which 413 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 16: means workers who they can exploit and pay less to 414 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 16: and also take the jobs of Americans. So there's a 415 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 16: number of things wrong with that, we're going after them, 416 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 16: and we've reached several settlements, and just recently we reached 417 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 16: a settlement against a Virginia IT recruiting company that ad 418 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,919 Speaker 16: told us their excuse for posting a job that was 419 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 16: H one B only advertised was that it had been. 420 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,200 Speaker 17: Generated by AI. So that's a little. 421 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 16: Scary because the AI kind of trained itself to go 422 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 16: for H one B. They know they can probably get 423 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 16: more applicants there there and they can pay them less. 424 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 16: And so they corrected that. But Congress could do us 425 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 16: a favor by increasing the penalties because right now the 426 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,239 Speaker 16: penalty per violation for that particular issue is less than 427 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 16: five thousand dollars per violation. So when I go and 428 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 16: get the maximum penalty for placing a. 429 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 17: Couple of ads that are blatantly illegal and. 430 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 16: Discriminate against American workers. It's barely a bump in the 431 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 16: road for them, and frankly, it's it may be worth 432 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 16: it too many companies to violate those laws, and so 433 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:10,200 Speaker 16: we need to fix that. 434 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, we do, har meet, stay in the fight. I 435 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: appreciate you very much. All right, foreign involvement in our elections, 436 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 1: government weaponization, there's more we need to get to in 437 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: a moment before we get to that. Speaking of hiring 438 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: American workers, do you have Verizon at and T or 439 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: T Mobile? When's the last time you had to make 440 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: a call to customer service? Was that an American talking 441 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: to you on the other end? I know it wasn't. 442 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: I know it wasn't. I'm so frustrated with that. Now, 443 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: there's no reason these companies can't hire Americans. 444 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 2: But they don't. 445 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 1: They go farm it out to some foreigner who can 446 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: hardly speak English. 447 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,679 Speaker 2: And it drives me up the wall. 448 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,440 Speaker 1: Look, I love the your talk saves me money, I do, 449 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 1: But I think I love that they hire Americans more 450 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: than anything else. When you get a hold of somebody 451 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 1: at pure Talk, it's an American right here at home 452 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 1: who speaks English and they're pleasant. An American and English 453 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: speaking American who's nice. It's almost disconcerting. Switch save money 454 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:25,400 Speaker 1: on your selle plan. Hire the company that hires Americans. 455 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: Pure talk dot com slash JESSETV. 456 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:30,640 Speaker 2: We'll be back. 457 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: Okay, Let's let's talk about this really briefly. Here foreign 458 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: involvement in our elections? 459 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 2: What does that mean? 460 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 1: Who is actually getting involved in our elections? 461 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 2: And to what end? Tulsea Gabbard had to testify today. 462 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 2: Here's how that went. 463 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 9: Are you saying there is no foreign threat to our 464 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 9: elections in the midterm this year? 465 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 18: As I stated in the outset of my remarks, this 466 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 18: year's annual Threat Assessment matches the prioritization of threats and 467 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,199 Speaker 18: answered the. 468 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 9: Question yes or no is there foreign threat interference to 469 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 9: our elections that she laid out? 470 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 18: Are there foreign Please allow me to answer the question, sir. 471 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 18: The intelligence community has been and continues to remain focused 472 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 18: on any collection and intelligence problem them show a potential 473 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 18: foreign threat. For those who are so far there has 474 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 18: been none. 475 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 9: Then, because you're systems manam, if you want to ask 476 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 9: the questions you should have stayed in Congress, please answer 477 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 9: the question. 478 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 18: I didn't ask you a question, sir, I'm trying to 479 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 18: answer your questions. 480 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,480 Speaker 2: So you're saying, why is he talking over? 481 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: What's he doing? Well, Democrats have a plan. They've rolled 482 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: it out time and time again. The plan is to 483 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: act like Russia is getting involved to elect Republicans. They've 484 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: used this on Trump, they use it over and over 485 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: and over again. But here's the ugly truth that the 486 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,719 Speaker 1: matter Russia isn't that involved. China, however, we know, is 487 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,600 Speaker 1: quite involved, trying to hack our voter rules, trying to 488 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: get drivers' licenses, and they're involved to elect Democrats. It's 489 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: kind of a big problem, and it's a problem that 490 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: is sadly secondary to this problem, the deep state problem. 491 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: We have communists inside the federal government, inside critically important 492 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 1: federal agencies that are still working day and night to 493 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: subvert the will of the American people. They believe they 494 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: are God, they believe they are the ones who should 495 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: run things.

I don't want my 502 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 19: analysis going to the White House where that vulgarian, ill 503 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 19: mannered man if anyone doesn't know the words in the 504 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 19: White House will use it to pursue policies towards China 505 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 19: with which I personally disagree. 506 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: We have a war at home. We can't ever lose 507 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: sight of that. The real war is right here at home. 508 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: We have a federal government that is still full of communists, subversives, 509 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: working day and night to neetcamp. What you want, what 510 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,240 Speaker 1: I want, what we voted for in November, and that 511 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: is a fight we must win. It's the most important 512 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: thing in the world going on right now. The enemy 513 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: here at home has to be stopped. All right, all right, 514 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: we have so much more. We also have to tell 515 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: you about your energy levels, your mind. Do you want 516 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: to have a clear mind? Doesn't it feel like your 517 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: mind's kind of foggy now as you get older? I 518 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 1: forgot see in your moment you ever said that you 519 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: just need some natural herbal supplements from chalk. I am 520 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 1: such a believer. I never used to take any supplements 521 00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: at all, And then I got with chalk started taking 522 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 1: a male Vitality stack, and man, I just felt myself 523 00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,479 Speaker 1: getting so much sharper at work. I just felt like 524 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: my mind, like I describe it, like a fog just 525 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: clearing out of your mind and you're thinking to yourself, 526 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I can't believe I used to live 527 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,560 Speaker 1: the other way. Your energy's gonna be good, your mood's 528 00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: gonna be good, your mind is gonna work well.

Get 530 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: some natural herbal supplements, a male vitality stack or a 531 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: female vitality stack, whatever, Chuck dot Com, Slash Jesse TV. 532 00:29:52,400 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 2: We'll be back. We talk a lot about the evils of. 533 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,719 Speaker 1: The Biden administration and the way they use the power 534 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: of government against their political opponents, like all communists do. 535 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: But it's one thing for me to sit here and 536 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: tell you about it, and for us to point to 537 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: a news story here at audio there. It's another thing 538 00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: to actually talk to somebody who felt the weight of 539 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 1: the government probably still feels it coming down on his head. 540 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: And Jeff Clark is most definitely one of those people 541 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: have a ton of respect for. Jeff is the vice 542 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: president of litigation at the Oversight Project. 543 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 2: Jeff, before we get. 544 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: Into the other goings ons, will you please remind people 545 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,360 Speaker 1: what the Biden administration did to you. 546 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 13: Sure. 547 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,480 Speaker 20: Well, Look, I'm entering the sixth year of the law 548 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 20: fair barfair effort against me by the DC Bar. The 549 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 20: investigation started in twenty twenty one. It's still going on. 550 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 20: My case has now reached the DC Court of Appeals, 551 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 20: which is the highest local home rule court in DC, 552 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 20: and they been sitting on some motions exchanges, essentially some 553 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 20: briefing for several months now. So you know, they're still 554 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:12,960 Speaker 20: threatening to take my license. And you know, they launched 555 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 20: Jack Smith at me. He made me unindicted co conspirator 556 00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 20: number four in the criminal indictment in DC against President Trump. 557 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,800 Speaker 20: I got dropped out of that after the Supreme Court 558 00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 20: issued the immunity decision in a superseding indictment in the 559 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 20: fall of twenty twenty four. 560 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:28,880 Speaker 9: So that was good. 561 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 20: That was the first, you know, kind of domino lined 562 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 20: up against me to get knocked over and off to 563 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,120 Speaker 20: the side. And then more recently, Fannie Willis's case in 564 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 20: Georgia fell apart and that indictment was dismissed against all 565 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 20: of the defendants because Fannie Willis and Nathan Wade were 566 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 20: disqualified and now we're trying to recover our fees from that, 567 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 20: from that ridiculous Rico state Rico conspiracy case. Fannie Willis 568 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 20: is laying down in the tracks to try to stop 569 00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 20: that from moving faster. So at the moment, you know, 570 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 20: of the three things they lined up against me, the 571 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 20: well and I'm not even counting the January sixth committee. Uh, 572 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 20: you know, the the the Jack Smith issues, the Fannie 573 00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 20: Willis issues, in the d C Bar. The only one 574 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,240 Speaker 20: that's still alive, and sadly is still alive, is the 575 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 20: d C bar attack on me. 576 00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: Jesse, Jeff, what is this mortal sin you committed to 577 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: warrant so much government intrusion into your life? 578 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,400 Speaker 20: Well, the theory in the Fannie Willis case and in 579 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 20: the Bar case are essentially the same. They use some 580 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 20: different legal terminology to account for the difference between state 581 00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 20: criminal law in Georgia and ethics law. But the so 582 00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 20: the the the label in the d C bar was 583 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 20: that I made an attempted false statement, and the the 584 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 20: claim in in the Fannie Willis case was that I 585 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,400 Speaker 20: made an attempted false writing, because I drafted a letter 586 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 20: and I recommend did that letter be adopted by the 587 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 20: Justice Department, to go out to state legislators in Georgia, 588 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 20: urging them to call themselves into special session under their 589 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 20: authority in Article two of the Constitution given directly to 590 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 20: state legislatures, and to take another look at the twenty 591 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 20: twenty election, because especially all the irregularities that happened in 592 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 20: Fulton County. And look, the very thing that I recommended, 593 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 20: essentially is now underway by this Justice Department, and that's 594 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 20: why they've seized the ballots in Fulton County, Georgia. I mean, 595 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 20: it's you know, how many years now, is it since 596 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 20: the twenty twenty election, right, We're like five and a half, 597 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 20: and we still haven't seen those ballots, you know. So, 598 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:46,960 Speaker 20: you know, all I was doing was recommending that the 599 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 20: election in Fulton County, which was highly suspicious statistically in 600 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 20: terms of eyewitness testimony, that ballots were coming in by mail, 601 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 20: that were increased, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. All 602 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 20: those things are now being investigated by the Justice Department. 603 00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 20: And so I don't understand how it could possibly be 604 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 20: unethical to recommend doing the very thing that the current 605 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 20: Justice Department is doing. 606 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:17,440 Speaker 1: This Arctic Frost investigation was unethical, to put it mildly, 607 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: but was it criminal? And I asked this completely loaded question, Jeff, 608 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,920 Speaker 1: because I want to see people go to prison for 609 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: what they did to you and others. But I don't 610 00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: want to sell people at bill of goods either. Is 611 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: that realistic? 612 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 20: Well? I think, you know, I think that's two things right. 613 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 20: One is the question of will it actually happen at 614 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 20: the end of the day. But the first question is 615 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 20: could it happen? And I believe it could happen. I 616 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 20: do believe that these people conspired, for completely illegitimate purposes 617 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,600 Speaker 20: to try to attack and take off the board important 618 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 20: allies of President Trump, like myself, like John Eastman, like 619 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:04,160 Speaker 20: Mark Meadows and and uh uh Scott Perry, a congressman 620 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,800 Speaker 20: from Pennsylvania, and uh, you know, they did that because 621 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 20: of our political views. They discriminated against us because of 622 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,680 Speaker 20: our political views. They conspired to try to injure us 623 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 20: however they can in crazy uh law fare efforts. And 624 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 20: I do think that that could be charged, and I 625 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 20: hope that eventually it will be fully investigated. 626 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 3: Uh. 627 00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:28,960 Speaker 20: We see obviously Senators Grassley and Johnson probing more and 628 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 20: more into the documents, getting more and more documents out 629 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 20: of the FBI, and I applaud Cash Pattel for allowing 630 00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,799 Speaker 20: those documents to get out. And uh, you know, it's 631 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 20: entirely possible that that you know, that that whole situation 632 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 20: could be prosecuted, and uh, you know, I I don't 633 00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 20: want to oversell your viewers, like will it actually happen? 634 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 20: You know that that's going to be a decision for 635 00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 20: the political uh leadership of the Justice Department. So I won't. 636 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,799 Speaker 20: I won't uh, you know, jump ahead of them on that, 637 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:02,719 Speaker 20: But I think they could do it if they wanted to, 638 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 20: And in my view, my public recommendation is that they should. 639 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: What's the Office of Management and Budget? You were just there. 640 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: Most people don't understand what this office does. It really 641 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 1: has an incredibly critical role if you get the right 642 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:16,359 Speaker 1: people in there. 643 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 2: What was it? What does it do? What were you doing? Sure? 644 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:23,719 Speaker 20: So, the Office of Management and Budget JESSE is an 645 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 20: agency that he sits as part of the cabinet. You 646 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 20: would have seen Russ Vote, my former boss at both 647 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 20: the Center for New in America and boss at the 648 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 20: Office of Management and Budget in the cabinet meetings for 649 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,840 Speaker 20: President Trump and O and B. Really, I think of 650 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,840 Speaker 20: it as having a three legged stool. The main focus 651 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 20: is on the budget, trying to get control over federal spending, 652 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:54,719 Speaker 20: trying to reorient the budget to comport with President Trump's 653 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,320 Speaker 20: spending priorities in terms of what goes over to Congress 654 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 20: for them to work using their power of the purse. 655 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,080 Speaker 20: The other leg of the second leg of the stool 656 00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,080 Speaker 20: is the management leg. You know, that's the M and omb. 657 00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,720 Speaker 20: So you know, there's oversight over contracts, there's oversight over grants, 658 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:17,399 Speaker 20: there's oversight over you know, personnel programs. There's a lot 659 00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,560 Speaker 20: of power in that. The management of the Executive Branch 660 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 20: omb is physically located in the used to be called 661 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,400 Speaker 20: the Old Executive Office Building now the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, 662 00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:33,640 Speaker 20: the Giant Office Building right across West Executive Avenue by 663 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 20: from the White House and from the West Wing. And 664 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:39,080 Speaker 20: then the third leg of the stool is the one 665 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 20: that I worked on, which is overseeing all of the regulations, 666 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:45,400 Speaker 20: the massive number of regulations that come out from the 667 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 20: Executive Branch, and that is done by a sub component 668 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,719 Speaker 20: of O and B called the Office of Information and 669 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:58,200 Speaker 20: Regulatory Affairs, and before President Trump came in, all of 670 00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 20: the so called independent agent we're talking about things like 671 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:10,280 Speaker 20: the FCC, the FTC, the SEC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, 672 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,920 Speaker 20: the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Those regulations used to not 673 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 20: be reviewed by OMB. But President Trump issued an executive order. 674 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,399 Speaker 20: You said, I want all those to be reviewed by 675 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 20: O and B as well. So the expansion in the 676 00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:28,960 Speaker 20: powers of OMB under President Trump, they've grown even farther. 677 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:31,680 Speaker 20: And jesse As I'm sure you know right. We have 678 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 20: too many federal statutes. They occupy bookshelves and bookshelves. But 679 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:38,520 Speaker 20: if you look at the Code of Federal Regulations that 680 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 20: occupies still more bookshelves upon bookshelves. There are more regulations 681 00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,279 Speaker 20: than there are statutes. Because the statutes, it's kind of 682 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 20: like a launch pad for more regulations. There's more law 683 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 20: than you can shake a stick at. There's too much 684 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 20: of it. There needs to be massive deregulation. And President 685 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,120 Speaker 20: Trump did a great job deregulating in the forty five term. 686 00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:00,520 Speaker 20: But now in the forty seven term. You know, I 687 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,440 Speaker 20: was there for the first year. I just left on 688 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 20: March fourth. We accomplished record deregulation, especially in the first 689 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 20: year of the administration. So President Trump tasked US Jesse 690 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:17,240 Speaker 20: with deregulating two regulating at the ratio of at least 691 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:21,239 Speaker 20: ten to one, and I can please, I'm pleased to 692 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 20: report to you that for fiscal year twenty twenty five, 693 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:27,560 Speaker 20: the ratio we actually achieved was one hundred and twenty 694 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,040 Speaker 20: nine to one. So we took down one hundred and 695 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 20: twenty nine regulations that were on the books for every 696 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 20: new one that the Trump administration put on the books. 697 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:43,480 Speaker 20: And then in dollar terms. 698 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 3: The. 699 00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,839 Speaker 20: Amount of money is in the hundreds of billions, and 700 00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 20: it's more, by it whole order of magnitude than what 701 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:50,839 Speaker 20: was done in the second year of Trump forty five. 702 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 20: So even in the first year, which isn't a complete year, 703 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:59,239 Speaker 20: right because you don't start until January twentieth, we still achieved, 704 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,080 Speaker 20: you know, almost ten times i'll call it nine times 705 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,040 Speaker 20: as much deregulation in terms of lifting dollar burdens, which 706 00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,080 Speaker 20: are a hidden tax on the American people in President 707 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 20: Trump's first year in office. So it's truly historic. There's 708 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,880 Speaker 20: a lot more work to be done. As I said 709 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:18,760 Speaker 20: to russ Vote in my resignation letter before I started 710 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 20: at the Oversight Project. So thanks for having me on 711 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 20: just yesterday. I can't wait to see what russ is 712 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 20: going to accomplish using OHIRAH the Office of Information and 713 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,560 Speaker 20: Regulatory Affairs in the last three years of President Trump's term. 714 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 1: Tell me about this Oversight project, Jeff, I, I know 715 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,279 Speaker 1: that you're not exactly somebody who's ever going to sit 716 00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:39,879 Speaker 1: out the fight. 717 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 2: I'm sure you're involved in something. What is it? 718 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 20: Well, I just started yesterday, so you got to you 719 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 20: gotta give me some time to get really ramped up. 720 00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:51,120 Speaker 20: You know, I've been meeting the team. I've been very 721 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,320 Speaker 20: impressed with the number of cases that they have underway, 722 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,200 Speaker 20: uh and and their plans. You know, I can tell 723 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,640 Speaker 20: you that as a as a prior, I really want 724 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 20: to go on offense against this lawfair effort that was 725 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:10,600 Speaker 20: directed at MAGA and at President Trump and President trump 726 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 20: adjacent figures, whether lawyers or non lawyers, and there's plenty 727 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,840 Speaker 20: of both of those to go around. I want to 728 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,600 Speaker 20: go after the particularly virulent form of lawfair called barfare, 729 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:25,319 Speaker 20: which I was describing to you in terms of my 730 00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 20: own personal experience. We have a major effort underway to 731 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 20: try to to re energize the effort to deport all 732 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:38,399 Speaker 20: of the illegal aliens that were allowed to pour over 733 00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:41,959 Speaker 20: the border in an invasion of our country. Frankly, uh, 734 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,959 Speaker 20: And that's something I've written about before in other capacities. 735 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 20: And you know, we're we're also gonna stake out fights 736 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 20: on the regulatory front. So I know we're working on 737 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,720 Speaker 20: something related to the to my mind, the bogus issue 738 00:41:59,760 --> 00:42:03,520 Speaker 20: of climate change. We have, you know, the Left trying 739 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 20: to stack the world of climate change litigation by having 740 00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 20: the Federal Judicial Center put out a kind of rundown 741 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:17,240 Speaker 20: for federal judges of climate change science and related legal issues. 742 00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,880 Speaker 20: It's completely biased. You know, it is designed just to 743 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:26,320 Speaker 20: try to get judges to green light climate change lawsuits 744 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,840 Speaker 20: so we get more and more regulation and those you know, 745 00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 20: bookshelves upon bookshelves I describe to you of regulations grow 746 00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:37,920 Speaker 20: even bigger. And look, you know, reducing tax burdens is tremendous, 747 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,000 Speaker 20: and that's very visible for people, especially as we close 748 00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 20: on tax return time here. But you know, the regulatory 749 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 20: burden on the average consumer and citizen in the United 750 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 20: States is huge, and you don't get a bill for 751 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 20: that at the end of the year, it's all just 752 00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,879 Speaker 20: hidden in costs, and it's hidden in economic growth that's 753 00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,920 Speaker 20: robbed from the American people, Jesse. And so you know, 754 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,080 Speaker 20: I think we're also going to try to help get 755 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 20: out the word about how how large that federal regulatory 756 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:11,080 Speaker 20: tax is. They're just it's a target rich environment, Jesse. 757 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 20: You know, we have a lot to go after, and 758 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,600 Speaker 20: we're a young organization and we are going to uh, 759 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,759 Speaker 20: you know, hit those efforts and several others that you know, 760 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 20: I'm sure I'll get to describe for you in future appearances. 761 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:26,839 Speaker 2: Sadly, you have a lot of work to do, Jeff, 762 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:27,799 Speaker 2: so I'll let you go to it. 763 00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:43,480 Speaker 1: I appreciate your brother, all right, lighten the mood, thanks, 764 00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:48,920 Speaker 1: but it's time to lighten the mood. And Joe Biden. 765 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: I don't miss the Joe Biden era, and I know 766 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: you don't miss the Joe Biden here. I'm so grateful 767 00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:59,560 Speaker 1: that that is behind us. But Joe Biden and Democrat 768 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,000 Speaker 1: common efforts to pretend he was normal and functional did 769 00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: give us some incredible laughs. Remember when the calls, there 770 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,120 Speaker 1: were all kinds of calls that hey, his mind isn't 771 00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,120 Speaker 1: working right, his mind isn't working right. And the Biden 772 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: administration got so concerned about the public outcry over this 773 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 1: that they decided to trot out Joe Biden and they 774 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: were going to have him speak on it once and 775 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,160 Speaker 1: for all and put those things to rest. 776 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,160 Speaker 2: And here's how that went. 777 00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 7: I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president. 778 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 7: Do I think she was not qualified to be president? 779 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:31,960 Speaker 7: Let's start there. 780 00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,839 Speaker 2: He did give us some gems. I'll see them all.
