1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden now saying he wants to come after guns 2 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,119 Speaker 1: in a lame duck session. There's a very short there's 3 00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:12,479 Speaker 1: a very short lame duck session that's going to happen 4 00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: between now and when the new Congress is sworn in, 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: and the President of the United States America has come 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: out and said that he wants there to be gun control. 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: A lot of people kind of shocked by this, and 8 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: I get it. I understand why you should be shocked 9 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: by this. Where did this come from, Why is it 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: happening now? This is all after the shooting in Colorado. 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 1: He randomly came out and said, I want to ban 12 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: not just quote assault weapons, I want to ban all 13 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: semi automatic weapons. Now, for people that don't understand semi 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: automatic weapons, I'll explain it to you in a moment, 15 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: but first I want you to hear what Joe Biden 16 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: had to say railing against all semi automatic weapons, saying 17 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: we should ban them all. The idea we still allow 18 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 1: semi automatic weapons to be purchased is sick. It's sick. 19 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: It has no no sociality value, zero none, Not a 20 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: single solitary rational afford and sub profit from the gun 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: manufacturer can you do anything about gun laws during the 22 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: lame doctor, I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to get 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: rid of a saultway. He's gonna try to get rid 24 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: of asault weapons in a lame duck session. Now, this 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: was out of nowhere. The President stopped at this local 26 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: firehouse I think first responders there, and it was there 27 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: that he spoke with reporters for the first time on 28 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: camera following the devastating shooting at that walmart and Virginia. Now, 29 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,559 Speaker 1: as you know, that was a manager there that decided 30 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: to take out some of his employees in the break room, 31 00:01:52,320 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: not people shopping, and immediately he said those comments. Now, 32 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: no one had this on their radar screen, so you 33 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: understand this was not something that was there. Okay, everybody, 34 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: I think was kind of caught off guard by this 35 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: because there was no telegraphing for the White House that 36 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: this was going to actually be something that they were 37 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: going to do. And here we are He's saying, all 38 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: semi automatic weapons, should you be taken away from you? 39 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about that number one. If you remember, the 40 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: handgun that was bought by Hunter Biden and loss by 41 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: his ex sister in law turned lover who threw it 42 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: in a trash canon, Delaware, which is part of the 43 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: investigation into Hunter Biden. That gun was a semi automatic handgun. Now, 44 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna explain semi automatic for you as simply as 45 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: I can, and if you know what this is, just 46 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: hang with me for a second, okay, because I want 47 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: people to understand how little the Democrats understand about firearms. 48 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, I have no doubt owns a semi automatic weapon. 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: His son certainly does. Semi automatic weapon is a gun 50 00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: where you pull the trigger and each time you pull 51 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: the trigger, there is a bullet that comes out of 52 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:18,079 Speaker 1: that gun. Right for the action, there is a reaction. Okay. Now, 53 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 1: that is a semi automatic weapon. The most simplistic way 54 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: I can describe it to you, an automatic weapon a 55 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 1: weapon of war? Right is they try to describe it 56 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: all the time and turn every gun into a scary 57 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 1: weapon of war. That's their favorite line that they use. 58 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: Is a machine gun a fully automatic weapon. What is that? 59 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 1: That's when you pull the trigger one time and bullet 60 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: after bullet after bullet continues to come out of the firearm. 61 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: That's what you see in a lot of the movies 62 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: right where they just hold down the trigger. It's rambo style. 63 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: That's what a fully automatic weapon is. There is a 64 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: big difference. One you have to pull the trigger continuously, 65 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: the other you just have to pull the trigger and 66 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 1: hold it down. There's a big difference. Okay, I'll say 67 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: it again. There is a big difference. This president, i'm sure, 68 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: not only owns semi automatic weapons but has hunted with 69 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: semi automatic weapons. The majority of shotguns and the majority 70 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: of handguns that are sold are semi automatic. There are 71 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: shotguns that are over unders that are two different for example, 72 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: triggers on the gun. That's more of a classic family 73 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: heirloom esque type gun. Okay, that's real, just so you know, 74 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: but that's not what the majority of them sold today. 75 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: There are some pump action shotguns. You have to pump 76 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,159 Speaker 1: the slide and pull it down and back up. You 77 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: hear the you know, the racking of the shell. That 78 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: is a semi automatic or that is a pump action shotgun. 79 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: The majority of shotguns solder not that they're semi automatic. 80 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: Where you put three or four or five depending on 81 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: if you have a plug in the in the shotgun 82 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: into and then you chamber one and then when the 83 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: gun shoots, it loads the next bullet. The majority of 84 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: handguns that are sold every day in this country are 85 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 1: semi automatic. There's a reason why he said he wants 86 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 1: to ban semi automatic weapons. It's because he wants to 87 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: ban the majority of handguns that are out there. I 88 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: don't know a single police department in the US that carries, 89 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 1: for example, a revolver. Now, okay, revolvers are not quote 90 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: semi automatic. Every law enforcement officer I know carries a 91 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: semi automatic. Every person that I actually know that carries 92 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:37,040 Speaker 1: a firearm now carries a semi automatic handgun. They are 93 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: not want to be clear weapons of war. Any gun 94 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: can yes be used for bad things. It doesn't mean 95 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: they're a weapon of war. Cars, by the way, can 96 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: be used as a bad thing when people use them 97 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: to run over people. Right, Virtually everything, a baseball bat, 98 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: a knife that you cut and prepare food with can 99 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: be used for stabbings. Almost everything. Chemicals can be used 100 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 1: for bad things, even though the majority of them are 101 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: used for good things. You get my point. But what 102 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: the president is now advocating for is not getting rid 103 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: of what they used to refer to as assault weapons. Right, 104 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: They were obsessed with. They are fifteens now. They just 105 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 1: want to get rid of every single semi automatic weapon, 106 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: which goes back to the slippery slope that I and 107 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: so many others have warned you about. This is the administration, 108 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: this is what they want to do. The President says 109 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 1: it is a you know, and listen to his rhetoric 110 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: right about semi automatics. He can't believe that you, as 111 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: a human being, would ever even want to own this. 112 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: The idea we still allow semi automatic weapons to be 113 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: purchased is sick. It's just sick. It has no social 114 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: redeman value, zero none, not a single solitary rationale for it. 115 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: It's a profit from the gard manufactur It's sick. Well, 116 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: to be clear, if I didn't have that semi automatic 117 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: weapon that I had on the night of the shooting 118 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: that I was involved in, I wouldn't be alive. So 119 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: the idea that he describes as that is sick. It 120 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,559 Speaker 1: is sick. There's no redeeming factor there is. I'm alive 121 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: because of that redeeming factor. Countless Americans have protected and 122 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: defended themselves with semi automatic weapons that are that are 123 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: vitally important for the safety and the security of their families, 124 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: their businesses. Countless men and women in law enforcement have 125 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: saved their own lives and the lives of others with 126 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: semi automatic handguns instead of having to carry a revolver, 127 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: for example. And he is now saying, and this is 128 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: the official, i think line of the Democratic Party. They 129 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: are now saying that this is what they believe is important. Okay, 130 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: this is what they believe they need to be doing 131 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: to take away our power and to put it back 132 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: on us. Now, understand, this is about power for them. 133 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:58,040 Speaker 1: This is about making sure that they disarm America's public. 134 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: That's what this is really all about. If you can 135 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 1: dismantle our right to protect and defend ourselves, you win 136 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: automatically if you are a government that has the weapons. 137 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: If you don't believe me, look at the lockdowns in 138 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: China right now. Sprang using drones some sort of chemical 139 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: on the streets in China right now. Many believe it's 140 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 1: to keep people inside in the lockdowns. You've seen the 141 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: beating and the taking away and the dragging away of 142 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: people in China. Over the last twenty four hours. Some 143 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,199 Speaker 1: of this video has broken out. It's incredible, it's shocking. 144 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: But the people they are ripping down fences, then being 145 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 1: beaten and also disappearing, okay, because their government is dragging 146 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 1: them away. They can't defend themselves. The lockdowns are continuing 147 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: in China. People are committing suicide. They were welding doors 148 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 1: shut to apartment complexes. If there's a fire, I don't 149 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: know how you get out. They don't care. If you 150 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: don't have enough, I guess food. You're screwed in your 151 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: house until they unweld your doors. They're doing this in China. 152 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 1: Can you imagine living in a home or a building 153 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 1: where they take your door and they well, that shuts 154 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: to you physically cannot leave and there's nothing you can 155 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: do to stop these psychos. That's happening in China right 156 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,080 Speaker 1: now because they don't have the right to protect and 157 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: defend themselves. The idea we still allow semi automatic weapons 158 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: to be purchased is sick, so sick. It has no 159 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 1: social of dem value to zero none, not a single 160 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: solitary rationale for it, and sub profit for the gun manufacturer. 161 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Can you do anything about gun laws during the lame doctor, 162 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try to get rid of 163 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,199 Speaker 1: a salt one. He's gonna try to get rid of 164 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: assault weapons, which apparently now mean that we are going 165 00:09:54,679 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: to get rid of all semi automatic weapons. That's the plan, now, 166 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: get rid of all of them. Other Democrats, caught off 167 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: guard by this, are now trying to figure out what 168 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: this means and can he get something done in a 169 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: lame de accession. There certainly is a chance of that. 170 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: Do I think it can get through the Senate? I 171 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: do not, And I think this is one of those 172 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: moments where you know, for so long Republicans, conservatives, advocates 173 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: for the Second Amendment, we have said over and over 174 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: and over again, be weary of the slippery slope. This 175 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: is it in real life, right, and he has now 176 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: said we want a ban. And this is the president 177 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: of United States of America, who was elected by half 178 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: the country, who is saying that he believes that we 179 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: need to get rid of all semi automatic weapons. There's 180 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: not a redeeming factor about it. Doesn't matter whose life 181 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: has been saved, doesn't matter what has happened. He believes 182 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: that these guns are weapons of war. And even his 183 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,559 Speaker 1: own son apparently is one of the worst people in 184 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: the world. Right And I'm sure he's like, well, my 185 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 1: son can have one. That's different because the gun that's 186 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 1: being investigated, the gun purchases being investigated, was in fact 187 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: very semi automatic handgun. But when they make you weak, 188 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 1: this is what we see. You look at what's happening 189 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: in China right now. There are lockdowns happening in China 190 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: where they are actually wilding that they're welding shut the 191 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: doors of apartment complexes. We are seeing in China right 192 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 1: now where people are protesting the lockdowns, and we are 193 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: seeing some of the videos come out of this, these 194 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: rare protests. And I'm gonna give you, for example, the 195 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 1: CNN perspective on this, okay, because they've got somebody in 196 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 1: Beijing right now that that's actually getting to report on this, 197 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: and this is I think a really important point. They're 198 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: even talking about this from Shanghai to Beijing. Protests have 199 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 1: erupted across China, and there has not been one comment, 200 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 1: by the way from this White House on this, not one, 201 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 1: not one one scene the reporter was able to make 202 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: her way in. She's at the zero you know, there's 203 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 1: this reporters at the side of the protests against these 204 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: zero COVID policy. So when anybody gets COVID in China, 205 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: they just locked down your community where you live. They're 206 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 1: still living in extreme lockdowns, and this is part of 207 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: what happens when you can't defend yourself and you can't 208 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 1: stand up to the government. Take a listen in the 209 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: middle of the protests that's happening in Beijing. It's just 210 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: past one am. There's a crowd of mostly young people 211 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 1: that have gathered here to protest the COVID measures in China, 212 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 1: and they've been chanting no to COVID tests, yes to freedom. 213 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: And this is happening in Tallong District. This is where 214 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: the center of the COVID outbreak is in Beijing, where 215 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: they've urged all residents to stay at home. So it's 216 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: really unprecedented that we're seeing such a large crowd of 217 00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,839 Speaker 1: people here. A lot of the folks as well. You 218 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: can see they're holding these white pieces of paper. This 219 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: is a symbol of anti censorship. And we also saw 220 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: protests in Shanghai. We saw protesters also hold those white 221 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: pieces of paper. Now in this district as well. Around here, 222 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: there are many foreign embassies, including the American embassy over there, 223 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: so notable that they chose this site for this protest. Now, 224 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: this protest has been going on already for several hours. 225 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: It's very late and you can see the policemen right 226 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: now is telling me to move back a little bit. 227 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: But there is a large police presence. They are actually 228 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: on this whole roll of whole roll of policemen. But 229 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: it is a peaceful protest so far. You could hear 230 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: the cheering, the chanting. Cars are also driving by frequently, 231 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: they're honking and solidarity. The folks here don't look like 232 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: they're going anywhere anytime soon. Now. This is happening all 233 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: over the country now, and I think that's probably the 234 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 1: coolest part of this. The numbers are swelling demonstrations and 235 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: multiple major cities over the weekend they've come out to 236 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: basically say enough. They're calling for greater democracy and freedom. 237 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,680 Speaker 1: Among the thousands of protesters, hundreds have even called for 238 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: the removal of the Chinese leaders Ye who for nearly 239 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: three years has overseen the strategy of mass testing, brute 240 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: force lockdowns, in force quarantine, and also digital tracking that 241 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: has come at a devastating human and economic cost. The 242 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: protests were triggered by a deadly blaze. They are killed 243 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 1: at least ten people to injure nine an apartment building, 244 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: leading to public fury after videos the incident appeared to 245 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 1: show lockdown measures had delayed firefighters from reaching the victims. 246 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: So far, there have been demonstrations in at least sixteen 247 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: major locations nationwide in China, including two of China's bigg 248 00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: as cities, the capital Beijing, when the Financial Center Shanghai. 249 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: In Shanghai over the weekend, hundreds and hundreds gathered for 250 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: a cannobite vigil and to mourn the victims. There, many 251 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: held up blank sheets of white paper were a symbolic 252 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 1: protest against censorship and enchanted need human rights, need freedom. 253 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: Some also shouted for the president, the dictator, the leader 254 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,239 Speaker 1: g to step down he won't, and saying the International 255 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: Socialist anthem used as a call to action and demonstrations 256 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: worldwide for more than a century. It was also used 257 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: during pro democracy protests and DMin Square in Beijing before 258 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: brutal cracked down by armed troops in nineteen eighty nine. 259 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: China's zero COVID policies have been felt particularly brutal in Shanghai, 260 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: where a two month long lockdown earlier this year left 261 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 1: many without access to food, medical care, other basic supplies, 262 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: sewing deep public resentment. By Sunday evening, mass demonstrations that 263 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: spread in Beijing as well and in Wuhan, where thousands 264 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: of residents called for not only an end to COVID restrictions, 265 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: but more remarkably political freedoms. Residents in some lockdownighborhoods tore 266 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: down barriers and locke and took to the streets. Protests 267 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: also took place on campuses, including the prestigious institution at 268 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 1: the University in Beijing as well as the Communication University 269 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: of China. In fact, in recent days, vigils and demonstrations 270 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: and solidarity with those on the mainland have also been 271 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: held elsewhere around the world, including London and Sydney. Now, 272 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: to put it in perspective so you understand what's happening, 273 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: they have actually put up fences in between neighborhoods, So 274 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: imagine the Berlin Wall in essence between your neighborhood and 275 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: an artificial barrier between the next neighborhood. These zero COVID 276 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: policies have allowed for people to die who needed medical 277 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: care because they weren't able to leave their house to 278 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: get the medical care they needed. Some people have been 279 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,479 Speaker 1: able to get their videos out saying they're literally starving 280 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: in their homes. Now there have been apartment complexes, for example, 281 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: that have been protesting. The government actually came in and 282 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: welded shut the exit doors of them, putting them in 283 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: what is no different that a prison at that point. 284 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: Now this is significant and the White House has been 285 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: silent on this, which also tells you. I think how 286 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 1: compromised Joe Biden is by the China because of the 287 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 1: deals that he and his son have done on oil 288 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 1: and energy in China. They clearly can blackmail him. Public 289 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 1: protests are rare in China. Why because the Communist Party 290 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: has tightened its grip on all aspects of life there. 291 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 1: They've launched a sweeping crackdown on dissidents. They've wiped out 292 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 1: much of civil society and built a high tech surveillance state. 293 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: The mass surveillance system is even more stringent in other cities, 294 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: where the Chinese government is accused of detaining up to 295 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: two million individuals and other ethnic minorities, and camps where 296 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,080 Speaker 1: former dtinees have alleged they were physically and sexually abused 297 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 1: a damning United Nations reported September to describe the regions 298 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 1: invasive surveillance network, with police databases containing hundreds of thousands 299 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: of files with biometric data such as facial and eyeball scans. China, 300 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: of course, denies accusations of human rights abuses in the region. Now. 301 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 1: While protests do occur in China, they rarely happen on 302 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: this scale, nor take such direct aim at the central 303 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: government in the nation's leader. This is a different type 304 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: of protests and the more localized protests we've seen reoccurring 305 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,959 Speaker 1: over the past two decades that tend to focus their 306 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: claims on demands on local officials and on very targeted 307 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: societal and economic issues. One university professor said, they said 308 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,959 Speaker 1: and said. This time the protests have expanded to include 309 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 1: the sharper expression of political grievance alongside with concerns about 310 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen lockdowns, there have been growing signs in recent 311 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: months that the public has run out of patients with 312 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: the zero COVID policy after nearly three years of economic 313 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:06,680 Speaker 1: hardship and disruption of daily life. Isolated pockets of protests 314 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: broke out in October with the anti zero COVID slogans 315 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 1: appearing on the walls of public bathrooms and in various 316 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: Chinese cities inspired by banner hung by a loan protests 317 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,119 Speaker 1: or on an overpass in Beijing just before days before 318 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: Ye submitted a third term in power. Earlier in November, 319 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: large protests took place as residents to five lockdown orders 320 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: to topple barriers and cheered as they took to the streets. There. Now, 321 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 1: the good news is, at least some of the videos 322 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 1: are eight. We're now able to see them, and that's 323 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: inspiring others as they are able to get these videos 324 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: out of China to the rest of the world. That's 325 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 1: inspiring people in China to continue to move forward. Is 326 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: it going to be enough for them to have something significant? 327 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: Who knows? China doesn't screw around with protesters. They'll kill you, 328 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: They'll imprison you, will destroy you and your family. Hell, 329 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: they'll even well willed the doors shut on your apartment 330 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,880 Speaker 1: building just to keep you inside. They'll spray chemicals from 331 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: from above using drones. So don't forget that, Okay, I 332 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: mean this. This is the reality of the situation. Okay, 333 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: that's that's the reality. It's incredible. Chuck Schumer is now 334 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: saying that it's time to give amnesty for a million 335 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 1: of illegal aliens, who he says are eligible and enrolled 336 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: in DOCA. Why, he says, necessary because we have a 337 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: spike we have a lack of US population, even though 338 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 1: new numbers have just come out and the United States 339 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: population is a new record thirty three point or excuse me, 340 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty one point nine million people reside 341 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: in the US. During a press conference this month, however, 342 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer came out made it very clear what he 343 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 1: thought right. He said during this press conference, we got 344 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: to do something right. We urge ten Republican Senators to 345 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 1: back and anty for the three point three million illegal 346 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: aliens enrolled and eligible for Obama's DOCTA program. So it's 347 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 1: time to provide them a green cards to remain permanently 348 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 1: in the US and eventually gained citizenship. He also said 349 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: it's time to give out amnacy to all illegal immigrants 350 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: in this country at the same time. As part of 351 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: that plea, he said amnesty for millions of illegal aliens 352 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: is necessary to drive up to quote, the US population 353 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: and low birth rates among Americans. We have a population 354 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: that is not reproducing on its own at the same 355 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 1: level that used to. Schumer said the only way we're 356 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: going to have a great future in America is if 357 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: we welcome and embrace migrants of Dreamers and all of them, 358 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: meaning every illegal immigrant. Schumer also said the Democrats ultimate 359 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: goal is to provide amnesty to all eleven to twenty 360 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: two million illegal aliens living in the US. The suggestion 361 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: comes as the US population has in fact increase to 362 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: its highest total in history, hitting three hundred thirty one million, 363 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: eight hundred ninety six thousand, seven hundred forty five residents 364 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one, driven mostly by the way by 365 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: legal immigration, not illegal but legal immigration. For comparison, the 366 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: population nineteen seventies stood at two hundred and three million 367 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: residents in the US. Now we're at three thirty one 368 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: compared to nineteen seventy. At current legal immigration levels whereby 369 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 1: more than a million four nationals are given green cards annually, 370 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: the nation's foreign born populations expected to hit seventy million 371 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,119 Speaker 1: by twenty sixty. In nineteen seventy, the foreign born population 372 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:47,640 Speaker 1: were fewer than ten million in this country. Likewise, Shumers 373 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: claim that an amnesty for illegal aliens would boost low 374 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 1: birth rates among Americans is unlikely, by the way, as 375 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: fertility rates among foreign born Americans has dropped more rapidly 376 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,880 Speaker 1: than fertility rates among native born Americans. The total fertility 377 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: rate for all women, immigration and native born in America 378 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen was one point seven six. Excluding immigrants, 379 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: it would be one point six nine the rate for natives. 380 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: The difference is point zero six children, or a four 381 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: percent increase in the overall total fertility rate in the 382 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: United States of America. That's what the Center for Immigration 383 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 1: Studies research shows, suggesting more immigration would have a minimal 384 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:36,640 Speaker 1: impact on the nation's quote low birth rate. Now unamended 385 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: by Democrats as well as many Republican lawmakers, they are 386 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: crafting a national family agenda that would help boost American 387 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: birth rates. Right. No, they're not doing that at all, 388 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: not doing that at all. They're telling everybody get across 389 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: the border as quick as you possibly can, because if 390 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: you don't, we're screwed. Like, hurry up, get across the 391 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 1: border now as fast as you can. Hurry up, we 392 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: might give you amnesty. This is why you're seeing tents 393 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: and tens of thousands who are now camping out on 394 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: the other side of the border right now. And the 395 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: reason why they're doing is because they're just waiting for 396 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 1: that Title forty three to expire, and once that expires, 397 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: are going to come rushing across the border because they 398 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 1: believe that they're about to get amnesty and not just amnasty, 399 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 1: they're going to get the American dream, like they're going 400 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: to get a green car that turns into citizenship in 401 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: the United States American I once you get here, we 402 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: give you everything Americans get anyway, it's also truly just shocking, 403 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: and I guess you could say amazing to me, right, 404 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's something that we see instantly now, 405 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: which is just I have a hard time with this one, right, 406 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 1: I really do. I have a very hard time with this. 407 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: It is incredibly frustrating that we take care of illegal 408 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 1: immigrants better than we take care of our American veterans. 409 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 1: Look at how many homeless veterans we have in this country. 410 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: Look at how many veterans we have that we don't 411 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 1: take care of in this country, and it's really frustrating, 412 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: it's really shocking. Now, before I continue on this, I 413 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 1: gotta tell you about our good friends over at legacy 414 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: precious metals.

Maybe if you would have been, it's 423 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,159 Speaker 1: not too late, by the way, to take advantage of 424 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 1: gold and silver.

Undocumented means illegal immigrants. Okay. 447 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: So that's just their code word for acting like they're 448 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 1: saying saying they're not that just no, that's it. It's 449 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: one hundred percent code word, okay, for illegal immigrants. Here's 450 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer in his own words. So we also fought 451 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: repeatedly to pass legislation that would protect dreamers, and it 452 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:26,000 Speaker 1: was a key piece of our original legislative agenda. In fact, 453 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,439 Speaker 1: my office was intimately involved in pushing for a change 454 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 1: in the Registry Jade that would once and for all 455 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: provide some sense of security to Dreamers and their families. 456 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: And while we've encountered roadblocks along the way to get 457 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:44,400 Speaker 1: this done, we've never stopped fighting for immigrant relief. Senator Durban, 458 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:49,119 Speaker 1: Senator Cortez, Masto, Senator Padeen, the others I mentioned, Senor Menendez, 459 00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: Senter Ben Ray Luhan, and just about every person in 460 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: our caucus believes in this strongly. Unfortunately, getting a fixed 461 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 1: to DOCCA in the Senate remains taught tied to our 462 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: ability to secure the sixty votes. We put proposals fourth 463 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: time and time again. But the elections now over, so 464 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,719 Speaker 1: all the bs. That was the word I was going 465 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: to use that we've heard from some of these Republican candidates. Okay, well, 466 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: the election's over. Now, let's do the right thing. Now, 467 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: let's roll up our sleeves and get this done. Americans 468 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: sent a clear message. They rejected the deeply anti immigrant 469 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: message of the Magarepublicans. They said, Magarepublicans, we don't believe 470 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 1: in you. And one of the main reasons we don't 471 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,720 Speaker 1: believe in you is you divide us and divide US 472 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: by attacking immigrants. In just last just last week, we 473 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: learned that Arizona, a purple state where the election was tight, 474 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: approved a measure to extend in state college tuition for 475 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 1: non citizens. That's not the politicians, that's the voters of Arizona, 476 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: which has a virulent right wing mostly who lost. But 477 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: in any case, and they joined eighteen other states Arizona 478 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: did in doing inputting this in place. Massachusetts voters rejected 479 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: a GOP appeal to a GOP effort to repeal a 480 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: state law that allows undocumented immigrants to apply for a 481 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: driver's license. So on something as simple as DOCCA, when 482 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: the public is clearly on our side in blue states, 483 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: purple states, even red states, we're calling on Republican colleagues 484 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 1: to join us. Waiting for our judicial system hanging by 485 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: a bare thread from court decision to court decision is 486 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: no way for anyone to have to live. It's cruel 487 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 1: and inhumane to keep millions in limbo. It's pastime DOCA 488 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 1: recipients feel safe in this country. So my message to 489 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans is this, work with us, Work with us 490 00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: on this widely supported policy so we can reach agreement 491 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: that will protect families and strengthen our economy, just as 492 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 1: we passed other bipartisan accomplishments which they thought couldn't be done, guns, veterans, chips. 493 00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: We can get it done here.
