I understand the 25 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: legal arguments behind it. It was an eight to one 26 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: decision giving the Biden administration, frankly, a big victory. And 27 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: it results though in a pretty big blow to local 28 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 1: communities that now have to keep convicted fellon illegal immigrants. 29 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 1: Right on the surface, that makes no sense, does it now? Anyway, 30 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: they found that handed the Biden administration of victory in 31 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: this immigration case, ruling that gop led states don't have 32 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 1: the standing to challenge a policy narrowing federal immigration enforcement. 33 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: Again an eight one decision the usv. Texas, And anyway, 34 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: if you look at the crux of this, they found 35 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: Republican states didn't have the standing to challenge ice and 36 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: their priorities for arrest and deportations. And in some quote, 37 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: states have brought an extraordinarily unusual lawsuit. They want the 38 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: federal court to order the executive branch to alter its 39 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: arrest policies so as to make more arrests. Federal courts 40 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 1: have not traditionally entered this kind of lawsuit. Indeed, the 41 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: State's a site no precedent for a lawsuit like this. 42 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: The opinion of Justice Kavanaugh sam Alito was the sole 43 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: dissenting justice in this case, and the case involved issuing 44 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: new enforcement guidelines by the Department of Homeland Security. Here's 45 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: the problem. Not only is Joe Biden in his administration 46 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: not enforcing the laws, not holding people accountable, they're aiding 47 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: in a betting in the law breaking. Now, at some point, 48 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: I would think that any American that's impacted by all 49 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: of this would outstanding anyway. Maybe my legal mind and 50 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: my legal thinking is wrong on this. Florida Attorney General 51 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: Ashley Moody, I wanted to get your take on it. 52 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: How are you? 53 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 3: Oh, great to be with you, Sean, And you're correct. 54 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: This is one of the most devastating, tragic opinions we've 55 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: seen thus far. And this is one of the first 56 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: things that Florida brought suit on. One of the first 57 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: policy Biden did that basically wrecked our immigration integrity and enforcement, 58 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: in which he basically said I don't care if you're 59 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: a dat felon we're not going to deport you. And 60 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: unless you're one of these specific targeted people, meaning sheriffs, 61 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: you have to release them back into the community once 62 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 3: they have served their sentence, or you can't detain them anymore. 63 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 3: In the States, We're not going to deport them for you, 64 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 3: And we know what the law says, but we're choosing 65 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: to not focus on that. And this is really really 66 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 3: a frustrating opinion. Like you said, Sean, they kept saying, 67 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 3: this is, you know, an unprecedented situation where you would 68 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: see a lawsuit like this. Well, we're living in unprecedented times. 69 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: You've never seen a president ignore so many of the 70 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: mandates under immigration law. In fact, when Congress came out 71 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 3: and said in these certain instances, you shall deport and 72 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: detain criminal illegal aliens Bill Clinton was president, even Clinton 73 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 3: said you need to deport these dangerous felons. So under 74 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: Biden and now with the approval of the Supreme Court, 75 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 3: if he doesn't want to deport sentinel traffickers or folks 76 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: burglarizing people or serious selling offenders, they don't have to. 77 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: Well look at how out there they went on this. 78 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 1: DHS Secretary of Mayorcis said in a memo. You know 79 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: the fact that an individual is a removable non citizen 80 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: therefore should not alone be the basis of an enforcement 81 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,840 Speaker 1: action against them. Well, that means why not that would 82 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: be enforcing the laws of the land. If you don't 83 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: like the laws, you would have to go to that 84 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: other branch of government, the legislative branch, and get the 85 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 1: laws changed. And he went on to say, we will 86 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: use our discretion and focus our enforcement resources in a 87 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: more targeted way, and justice in our country as well 88 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: being require it. No, I think the laws should be 89 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: applied equally across the board. And if you don't abide 90 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 1: by the laws and you enter this country illegally, how 91 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court doesn't stand up for the rule of law. 92 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: Here is a little mind numbing to me. 93 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,039 Speaker 3: You're correct, and this is a bigger picture. Right. We're 94 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: seeing this so many times in executive branches all over 95 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 3: the nation, where you're getting prosecutors and executive leaders saying 96 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 3: we don't like the laws. Like Mayorkists said, I don't 97 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 3: like that law that says that I have to deport 98 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,919 Speaker 3: those here illegally committing crimes against Americans. I don't like 99 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: that law. So I'm just not going to do it. 100 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 3: You have prosecutors soorros radical prosecutors all over the nation 101 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: saying you can't interfere with my executive authority, and I 102 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: don't like those laws, so I'm not going to prosecute them. 103 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: So I think that this opinion is incredibly dangerous because 104 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: we have not seen the likes that we're seeing now 105 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 3: of executive leaders saying Nope, don't like the laws. I'm 106 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 3: going to decide what the law is. And so I 107 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 3: think what's going to have to happen. And I have 108 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 3: said this for a long time and actually working with 109 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 3: Congress Momposi, we have proposed a bill in Congress that says, look, 110 00:06:54,880 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 3: if the AG declares that there is a crisis, an 111 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: immigration crisis, and the resources are not being dedicated by 112 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 3: the federal government, state officials should be able to do 113 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 3: the job of the federal government and detain and arrest 114 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: folks here as necessary for their security. And I think 115 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: what Congress is going to have to do, as the 116 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 3: ruling lays out, Congress can say, okay, states can bring 117 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: stuits that they can show injury. In fact, they may 118 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: have per se standing. Congress is going to have to 119 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 3: roll up its sleeves and come up with an ingenuitive 120 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 3: way to make sure the states can provide for the 121 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: security of their communities, because. 122 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: I think, don't the states now to me that would 123 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: give them, and especially if you believe in federalism, the 124 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: right to come up with they're all own laws that 125 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: say that they have the right to deport people out 126 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: of their state that are not in the country legally 127 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: or not in the state legally. 128 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: Well, they would have to be given obviously, the structure 129 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 3: would have to give them and assign them the authority 130 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: specifically for a rest. Obviously, the federal government and many 131 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 3: Supreme Court rulings have said that it is their purview 132 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 3: they oversee and have the authority to govern immigration, nationalization. 133 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: But there have been. 134 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 3: Ways in a past where states have been given some 135 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 3: of that authority and been able to help. And so 136 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 3: I think Congress is going to just have to come 137 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 3: up and say, Okay, we're seeing we've never seen anything 138 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: like this. If the states want to step up and 139 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: offer resources and offer manpower and offer their help, what 140 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 3: could be the legal mechanism to do that? Because you know, 141 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 3: if you get someone like a Biden in my orcison office, 142 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: you're jeopardizing the security and safety of our communities and states, 143 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 3: and so it's an it's an interesting balance. I think 144 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 3: that Congress will have to come in and really roll 145 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 3: up their sleeves. But we've been trying to be helpful 146 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 3: with our with our litigation and with our expertise as 147 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 3: we've developed it since Spine's been in office and making 148 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: those recommendations. But this really is as you said, it 149 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: is really stating blow to the rule of law and 150 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 3: our ability to protect our states and communities. 151 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,559 Speaker 1: All right, different topic, different question. Are you getting involved 152 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: in the Republican presidential primary or are you staying on the sidelines. 153 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 3: Well, as you know, I have worked incredibly close with 154 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis, who is our governor here. I've admired so 155 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 3: much how he digs in and really tackles some of 156 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 3: the challenging issues we faced here in Florida. So, like you, 157 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 3: like yesterday, we stood up and announced the new lawsuit 158 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: going after the agencies at at Credit Universities for playing 159 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 3: a hand and trying to develop standards. I've never been done, 160 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 3: and we've done that here in Florida under the leadership 161 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 3: of the Stantus. But as you know, I have been 162 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 3: very much standing up for the rule of law and 163 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 3: those that are going to dig their heels in and 164 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 3: support the men and women of law enforcement and protecting 165 00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 3: nation security. So I'll keep I'll keep promoting that and 166 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 3: those that that will stand strong in that regard as 167 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: we move forward. 168 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: You're in good company. Reagan wouldn't endorse some primaries either. 169 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: I don't blame you, but I understand your position. It's 170 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: not easy, is it. 171 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 2: No? 172 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 3: And I've supported and said that. I think Ronda Stantis 173 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: is doing a great job, and I think he would 174 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: He has a lot of energy and a lot to 175 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 3: say regarding the direction of this country. And I think 176 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 3: Americans should really just pay attention to what everybody is 177 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: saying and what they're promising to do, because that's what 178 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: it's about. After you get decisions like this one we're 179 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 3: talking about, right all. 180 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: Right, Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, we always appreciate you 181 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: being with us. 182 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,959 Speaker 3: Thank you, of course, great to be with his Sean coming. 183 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 2: Up next, our final news round up and information overload, our. 184 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: Right news round up, Information overload, our toll free our 185 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: number is eight hundred nine foot one, Sean. If you 186 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program where in 187 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: beautiful Myrtle Beach, where in South Carolina looking forward to 188 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: our town hall with Senator Tim Scott tonight will also 189 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: be cover the big news of the day, and that 190 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: is the slap on the wrist and no jail time 191 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: and absolutely no discussion of the real underlying financial dealings 192 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: of the Biden family syndicate, which should outrage any American 193 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: that believes in equal justice under the law, equal application 194 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: of our laws. You know, I think President Trump rightly 195 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: characterized it as a mere traffic ticket and how broken 196 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: our system is. And I went through all the lists 197 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: of people, you know that had paid a much bigger price, 198 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: starting with by the way, if you want to look 199 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: at the first case, and that I think is most comparable, 200 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 1: because you're talking about three million dollars that Hunter oroede 201 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 1: in taxes in years twenty seventeen and eighteen. All right, well, 202 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: let's compare that slap on the risk, no jail time 203 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: of course, no penalty for the gun violation lying on 204 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 1: a gun application, which by the way, would normally hold 205 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: up to ten years in jail if your last name 206 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,559 Speaker 1: is not Biden. Anyway, he is himself the great senator 207 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 1: from South Carolina. Always great to be back in a 208 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: state and a friend of the program and now a 209 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four presidential candidate. He will be with us 210 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: on Hannity tonight for our town hall in Myrtle Beach. 211 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 1: Senator Tim Scott is here. 212 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: How are you, sir, Well, Shawn is always good to 213 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 2: be back on my ear with you. Thank god you're 214 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. We're always happy to have 215 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 2: you back, but we are not happy about the fact 216 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 2: that the kid gloves are back on for the Biden family. 217 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: This DJ continues to hunt Republicans and protect Democrats. I 218 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: can't think of anything more. 219 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: Blatant, you know, I look at for example, we have 220 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: not gotten an answer. Now, your colleague, Senator Chuck Rashley 221 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: of IOO, as well as Congressman James Comer have referred 222 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: to this FD ten twenty three form. Now, this was 223 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: put together by somebody that the FBI viewed. Is very credible, 224 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: as evidenced by the hundreds of thousands of dollars that 225 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 1: the FBI has paid this individual in the past for 226 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: intelligence and talking about specific acts taken by then Vice 227 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: President Joe Biden in exchange for financial gain for both 228 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: him and his and his son Hunter. And I'm asking 229 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, what did the FBI do here, because I'm 230 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: concerned that our FBI that put their thumb on the 231 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: scales in the last two presidential elections, you know, is 232 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: going to be back outed again in twenty twenty four. 233 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, thank god for Senator Grassley and Congressman Comber who 234 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: seem not to be sleeping until we have the actual 235 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 2: result of the FD ten to twenty three Form seventeen 236 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 2: recordings that fifteen Hunter to Joe Biden. As far as 237 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 2: as I understand that this is serious allegations and if 238 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: there is a smoking gun, it's likely on one of 239 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 2: these audio recordings, getting that information to the public has 240 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 2: got to be the I will say that if the 241 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 2: investigation doesn't finish understood it glastly in Congress than Combers watch, 242 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 2: I will finish it as president of the United States. 243 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: Well, let me ask you this, because I think this 244 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: is now in the minds of most conservatives I know 245 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: is look at for example, we know Hillary had top 246 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: secret classified information on her servers. We know that because 247 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 1: James Comy told us that in July of twenty sixteen. 248 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: We know that Hillary Clinton destroyed thirty three thousand subpoena emails, 249 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: and she used something we had never heard of before 250 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: called bleach bit to do it. We know that she 251 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: had aids destroying devices that might have had some of 252 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: these emails backed up on it with hammers and simcards 253 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: were removed. That to me would be a classic obstruction case. 254 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 1: You know, I think the question that most conservatives are 255 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: asking today is do we have equal justice under the law? 256 00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: Do we have equal application of our laws? I read 257 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: a tweet that you would put out that this is 258 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: another reason that Americans have lost faith and Biden's justice system. 259 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: And while the Biden family gets a slap on the 260 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: wrist with kid gloves, the DOJ throws the kitchen sink, 261 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: the political opponents raids the homes of pro life advocates 262 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: and targets parents as domestic terrorists. And I can't think 263 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: of a truer statement. 264 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: Senator Well Sean, I'll say this, as I said in 265 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 2: my tweet my press releases, you cannot look objectively at 266 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 2: the current state of the Department of Justice and not 267 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 2: ask yourself the question, not if it's true, but how 268 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 2: deep does it go? That is the question we're asking because, 269 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: as you just articulated, the former president finds himself on 270 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 2: being focused on by a deal J. This been weaponized 271 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 2: by the Biden administration. We know that pro life activists 272 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 2: have swat teams gun drawn in their homes. We know 273 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 2: without any questions, parents showing up at school board meetings 274 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: to talk about eliminating the endoctrination of their kids. And 275 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 2: let's get back to educating our kids. Let's get rid 276 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,479 Speaker 2: of the c RT and get back to the ABC's. 277 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 2: These are the folks that the DOJ call domestic terrorists. 278 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,800 Speaker 2: So we don't ask the question if we are seeing 279 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: the weaponization of the Department of Justice. What we ask 280 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 2: ourselves is how deep does it go? Well, As an 281 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,800 Speaker 2: African American, the one thing I will tell you is 282 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: black versus white, and the justice system should never be 283 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 2: as a conservative now m colors are red and blue. 284 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 2: It should not be we need to have Lady Justice 285 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 2: with a blindfold on sean. Anything other than that. It 286 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 2: is unacceptable. But it's also un American, you know. 287 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: I mean, it really is amazing when you look at it, 288 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: and especially when you look at the FBI's role in 289 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: the last two presidential elections. I mean, they took Hillary's 290 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: dirty dossier. They even sent FBI agents to care roberated 291 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:03,960 Speaker 1: and offered Christopher Steele a million dollars. He couldn't collect 292 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: his million because he couldn't corroborate any of it. Then 293 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: they use it for not one before PISA applications, and 294 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: then in the lead up to the twenty twenty race, 295 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: what do we know that the FBI is out there 296 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: pre bunking the Hunter Biden laptop story, a laptop that 297 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 1: they themselves had in December twenty nineteen, verified in the 298 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: spring of twenty twenty according to John Solomon. And yet 299 00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: they're telling these big tech companies, you might be a 300 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: victim of a misinformation campaign and it may be about 301 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. And it ends up that before the election 302 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:39,320 Speaker 1: they censor what could have been a changing narrative in 303 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: the country and shift the voting patterns of significant portions 304 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: of our population. 305 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 2: There's no doubt that when you look at the thumb 306 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 2: on the scales of justice as well as on the 307 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 2: outcome of elections, you can look at the social media 308 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 2: and just followed the breadcrumbs that laid back to the 309 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 2: Department of Justice and the way that they concealed or 310 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 2: suppressed information in twenty twenty before the election. Many of 311 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 2: the things that we're discussing is it relates to Hunter 312 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: Biden and the Bidens family. That didn't happen in twenty 313 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: one or twenty two to twenty three. This predates the elections. 314 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 2: One of the reasons why so many Americans today are 315 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 2: asking the question, not only can we trust the Department 316 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 2: of Justice, but how do we make sure that our 317 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: elections have integrity? And I thank god that we've had 318 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 2: states like Georgia that went through the process of actually 319 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: strengthening the integrity of the election process, but it does 320 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: not make up for what ultimately we saw in twenty twenty, 321 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,639 Speaker 2: which has been considered at least putting the thumb on 322 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,960 Speaker 2: the scale again. We see that you said it a 323 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 2: few times in the show, and I love that I 324 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: wrote it down, thumb on the scale of justice. That 325 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 2: is the thing that Americans find despicable, is that when 326 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: we're not treating each other fairly. 327 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: That's well said. You know, as I've prepared for tonight's 328 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: town hall, I learned an I've known you ver very 329 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: well for a long time, and we've been friends for 330 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: a long time. But your life story is beyond compelling. 331 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: You grew up in a very poor, single parent household. 332 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: My mom worked sixteen hours a day as a prison guard. 333 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: Your mom was a nurse's assistant, a single mom. You 334 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: didn't start out as a brilliant student. You very freely 335 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: have discussed. As a freshman in high school, you flunked 336 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 1: out of four classes. Things were not looking good for you, 337 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 1: and between your mom and a mentor that you met, 338 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,679 Speaker 1: an owner of a local Chick fil A, you turned 339 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: your life around in a major way. Tell us about it. 340 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 2: Well, Sean. One of the things that the radical left 341 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,919 Speaker 2: hate about my life story is it disproves the lives 342 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 2: of the left. They want everyone to believe that in America, 343 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 2: the only way to get up and be able to 344 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 2: put yourself on the right path is to be the exception. 345 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 2: What my life says is, here's a dude, not a 346 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 2: brilliant man, but here's just a dude, an everyday guy 347 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 2: like most Americans, struggling in some parts of his life. 348 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: In most parts of his life, he meets a mentor 349 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: who tells him that in America, all things are possible. 350 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 2: Any kid from anywhere at any time can rise above 351 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 2: their circumstances if they take responsibility and sean. As you know, 352 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 2: in today's America, the radical left, they want everyone to 353 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,679 Speaker 2: be a victim. They want everyone to buy the drug 354 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: of despair. They want everyone hooked ungrievance. You know why, 355 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 2: it's not for progress, it's not to write the ship 356 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 2: is to keep the power and the control. And my 357 00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 2: life only reinforces the fact that, yes, a kid born 358 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: in the Deep South, who happens to be African American, 359 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 2: who happens to be raised in a single parent household 360 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 2: in poverty, can rise above his circumstances because in America 361 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 2: and in South Carolina where we are tonight, all people 362 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,199 Speaker 2: will be by the content of their character, not the 363 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 2: color of their skin. We are actually fulfilling the dreams. 364 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 2: We are living out the more perfect union. And that's 365 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: why they are so scared of my candidacy, because it's 366 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 2: undeniable the progress that we as a nation, the American family, 367 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: we have made remarkable progress in very little time. And 368 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: I thank god I'm American. 369 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: So you tell the story about your grandfather. He dropped 370 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,479 Speaker 1: out a third grade to pick cotton, and he couldn't 371 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: even read it, but he would sit at the table 372 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: every morning with a newspaper because he wanted to set 373 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: an example to his family. And your campaign site ends 374 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: with your grandfather's story and a statement to go from 375 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: Cotton to Congress in one lifetime is a journey that 376 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: can only happen in America. And you tell the story 377 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: that your grandfather when he was growing up that if 378 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: a white person was walking on the same side of 379 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 1: the street as him, that he would have to step 380 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 1: off the street and wait for this individual to pass. 381 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 1: And you know, and and it gets even highlighted more 382 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: when you get attacked by the likes of, you know, 383 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 1: a white liberal in New York by the name of 384 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: Joyless Bahar or more recently Barack Obama. And I'm like 385 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 1: that you don't know what it's like to be black. 386 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: And I'm like, we're going to listen to joy Behar 387 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 1: on what life for black Americans is life in America 388 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: with your family and your background. I'm sorry, she's not 389 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: exactly an expert or somebody that I really care is 390 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: somebody's opinion that I care to hear about. 391 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: Well, John, you and I are the same. But and 392 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 2: when Joey Word's black face. It's just it's just reprehensible. 393 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 2: And no one calls her on the carpet. She keeps 394 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 2: her job at ABC. Can you imagine if she was 395 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: a conservative or Republican she would be her contact would 396 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 2: be canceled. The double standard goes beyond the department of 397 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: Jess and I'd say that. Let me just say this 398 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:02,880 Speaker 2: on those folks coming out. 399 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: She actually claimed, you don't get racism. 400 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 2: Oh, it's ridiculous. I'm the guy that has said loud 401 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 2: and clearer in twenty twenty one, while I have been 402 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 2: the victim of discrimination, I will refuse to be a 403 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 2: victim because I've experienced discrimination. It makes me appreciate the 404 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:25,960 Speaker 2: significant progress we've made as a nation. It's the fact 405 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 2: that my mentor, who happened to be white in nineteen 406 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 2: eighty one through eighty four, that that man who invested 407 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 2: his life into mine, helps me understand that Americans, they 408 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: respond to the call consistently. Are there bad people in 409 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 2: the country, of course? Are there racist in our country? 410 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 2: Of course? Does that make us a racist country? Absolutely, positively, 411 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 2: unequivocally no, not just no, go aheada no. We should 412 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: respect and appreciate the evolution that we represent today. You 413 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 2: and I Hi breaking bread together at a restaurant that's 414 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 2: called American progress. We should celebrate that well. 415 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 1: And by the way, I got to meet your mom. 416 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,440 Speaker 1: What an amazing woman she is.
