1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,120
Speaker 1: These articles are the product of a.

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 2: Deliberate, thoughtful, and fair investigation.

3
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: There is no greater impeachable events than for an officer

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 1: of the United States a violate their oaths.

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 3: You have a short time coming.

6
00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 2: You can honorably resign or we are going to.

7
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: Impeach you, and it's happening very very soon.

8
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: On this vote, the ya's are two fourteen and the

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: nay's are two sixteen.

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 3: The resolution is not adopted.

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: An attempt by the Republicans to impeach DH Secretary Mayorcis

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: yesterday over the border craziness failed because a handful of

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Republicans voted no, among them Congressman Tom McClintock the fourth

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: District of California. Tom's often been described as the gold

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: standard for fiscal conservative and conservatism and Congress if that

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: even exists anymore, And the congressman joins us, Now, Tom,

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 1: how are you, sir?

18
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: I'm doing fine. Thanks.

19
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: I'd imagine you're hearing it loud from a lot of

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,639
Speaker 1: Republican voters for your vote against the impeachment of may Orcus.

21
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: How dare you, sir? Why are you for open borders?

22
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: That's the question.

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: It's actually been fairly mild. We've only had two death

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: threats so far, so I consider that a win.

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Good day. Yeah, So why were you no vote on

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: impeaching the dh DHS secretary.

27
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 2: Because that's not what impeachment is for. You know, I

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 2: have nothing nice to say about Mayarcus. I think he

29
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: is guillty of maladministration on a truly cosmic scale.

30
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: But that is not grounds for impeachment. And we know

31
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 3: that because maladministration was specifically.

32
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: Considered by the Convention and rejected. Instead, they use the

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: term high crimes and misdemeanors, and there's a very specific

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: meaning to that, crimes that are related to the office.

35
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: By dumbing down the standard for impeachment, you're opening up

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: a Pandora's box that will be turned against conservatives on

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 2: the Supreme Court, would be turned against the future Republican

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 2: administration and cabinet the moment the Democrats take control, and

39
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 2: there'll be nobody to stop them because the Republicans will

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: now have signed off on this new and very different

41
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: standard for impeachment. And the fact of the matter is,

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: even if the Senate were to remove him, it changes

43
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: nothing because he is simply carrying out the policies of

44
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: this administration. You're not going to fix this by replacing

45
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: one leftist official like may Orcus with say an Occasio Cortes.

46
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: It only can be fixed by replacing the entire administration,

47
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: and that can only be done by the American people

48
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 2: at the ballot box.

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 3: And I think they're coming around to that conclusion.

50
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: I hadn't realized AOC was even on the short list

51
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: with a terrifying notion. And I actually heard Mike Gollagher

52
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: speaking on this topic and he said something very similar

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: about swapping out one, you know, far left puppet for

54
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: Biden for another one. What good would that do? But

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: I want to nail this down in case people went

56
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 1: over a potholer didn't quite follow it. It was the

57
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: Constitutional Convention where the concept of impeachment was being discussed

58
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: at length that you referred to when you said the Convention,

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: and they looked at well, you're just bad at your

60
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: job and you're not doing it, and they specifically rejected

61
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 1: that right.

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Madison objected.

63
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: Actually, the committee on eleven, on September fourth, issues a

64
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: recommendation treason and bribery only.

65
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: That's it. George Mason objected to that.

66
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 2: On September the eighth, he says, well, there ought to

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 2: be something more than that.

68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 3: He proposed maladministration.

69
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: That's basically doing a lousy job, and may Yorks is

70
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: certainly guilty of that. And it was Madison who stood

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 2: up and said, wait a second. You go down this path,

72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: then you're making the president a minister of the Senate.

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: That destroys the entire concept of the separation of powers,

74
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: that's the central architecture of this constitution. And that's when

75
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: they rejected maladministration doing a bad job and substitute for

76
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: it high crimes and misdemeanors. Actually committing a crime relating

77
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 2: to the office. That's the high and high crimes. You know.

78
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: The example I use is Bill Clinton. He was definitely

79
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: guilty of a crime perjury, but it was not a

80
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: high crime, it was not related to his office. So

81
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: he was unjustly impeached by the House. He was quickly

82
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: acquitted by the Senate, and the American people made their

83
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: displeasure with this partisan, one sided impeachment very clear at

84
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 2: the polls. And it pains me to see the Republican

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: Party making the same mistake again.

86
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: Well, and you already mentioned this, but the concern would

87
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: be that would be constantly impeaching these people. You would

88
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: have impeached the whoever was Secretary of Health and Human

89
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: Services when the Republicans had the House because you didn't

90
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: like the way the Obama Care rollout went. You to

91
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: impeach the Secretary of the Treasury because we're printing so

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: much money. I mean, there'd be so many things all

93
00:04:59,520 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: the time.

94
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 2: That was Madison's point at the convention. At the moment,

95
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 2: you have a president of one party and a Congress

96
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:08,159
Speaker 2: of the other.

97
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: If you're going to have.

98
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 2: A low standard like that, that's going to be a

99
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: constant fixture now in our political life, and that's not

100
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: going to go well for the country.

101
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 3: It's not altogether complicated.

102
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: And what an interesting way to illustrate it that the

103
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: president would become a minister hired and fired by the Senate. Yeah,

104
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: that's that's a good illustration, just as.

105
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: I was doing.

106
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, these are the same arguments that

107
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: I made against the sham impeachments of Donald Trump twice

108
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: in the House Judiciary Committee.

109
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 3: And the same people who cheered.

110
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: Those arguments when I made them to oppose the impeachment

111
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: of Trump are now jeering those same arguments and the

112
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: principles haven't changed any It's just the shoes now on

113
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 2: the other foot. As Alan Drschowitz would.

114
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Say, since we're yeah, since we're talking immigration and that's

115
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: what this is all about. Where are you on that

116
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: Senate bill that if it miraculously passed the Senate comes

117
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: to the House. Are you a yes or a no

118
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: on that?

119
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: Oh? No, I'm a vigorous know on that. This is

120
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 3: a terrible bill.

121
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 2: And you know they're selling it as an improvement on

122
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: the current situation, and that part is true, but it

123
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 2: would tie the hands of any president who actually wanted

124
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 2: to control the border in the future. Just just to

125
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 2: be clear on this, what it does is it says

126
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: that the administration has to allow up to four thousand illegal.

127
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 3: Entries every day. If if it.

128
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 2: Goes above four thousand, the administration has the discretion of

129
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: closing the border if it goes up above five thousand

130
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 2: a day for seven days or more. They're required to

131
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: do that. Now, again, that's an improvement over Biden. But

132
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: imagine if the next president actually wants to secure our border,

133
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: and I think we're going to the next president, will

134
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: he's now he's now required to accept at least four

135
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 2: thousand illegal immigrants a day, or up to four thousand

136
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants a day under this bill. That's outrageous. That's

137
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: one point eight million a year. And by the way,

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: the cartels control that border. Nobody crosses it without their permission.

139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: They'll simply time they releases, so.

140
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 3: That you have you have three thy nine and ninety

141
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 3: nine a day.

142
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: You can see the difference in enforcement between the two administrations.

143
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: The day Trump left office, the border was secured. The

144
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: remain in Mexico policy had slowed illegal immigration to a

145
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: trickle of the border wall was nearing completion. We were

146
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: actually enforcing court ordered deportations. His very first day in office,

147
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: inauguration day, Joe Biden reversed those policies, and that is

148
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: what has produced the largest illegal mass migration in American history,

149
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: and so it ultimately is an enforcement issue. This would

150
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: make enforcement very difficult for a future president who actually

151
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: wanted to do what Trump did and secure the border.

152
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: My only gripe with that argument, which I agree with,

153
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: is that some of that authority, a significant part, was

154
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: based on COVID though is there any getting that back?

155
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 2: Well, actually, the Immigration a Nationality Act let me reach

156
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: it just as portion.

157
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 3: This is current law. Whenever the President.

158
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: Finds that the entry of any aliens or any class

159
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: of aliens in the United States would be detrimental to

160
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: the interests of the United States, he may, by proclamation

161
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: for such period as he should deem necessary, suspend the

162
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: entry of all aliens and any class of aliens as

163
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 2: immigrants or non immigrants, or impose on the entry of

164
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.

165
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 3: That's current law, this president.

166
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 1: That settles it, doesn't it? Yeah right, yeah, Well, I

167
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: finally understood what Alejandro Miwerk has meant when he said

168
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 1: the border is secure. The cartel is secured it. They're

169
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: in charge of how many people can come across.

170
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 3: So we was telling you we.

171
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: Were totally at the real sector when we were passed

172
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: a couple of months ago. Last month of the just

173
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: in that sector, they asked.

174
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 3: Tom, the cartel is making.

175
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: Thirty two million dollars a week. That's about one point

176
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: six billion dollars a year just in that one sector.

177
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:31,840
Speaker 2: So the crime cartels actually are making money completely controlling

178
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 2: their side of the border, and we're losing a ton

179
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 2: of money with the with the border wide open on

180
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: our side, so there's something wrong with that. And again

181
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: it comes down to enforcement. I you know, at Huma

182
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 2: last year, I told the Border of Patrol offs we

183
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: met with, we write laws, we can't enforce them. What

184
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: laws do you need us to write? And they said

185
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: to him, man, we don't need new laws. We need

186
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 2: to enforce the laws we already have on the books.

187
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: Trump did, Biden didn't. And this, this Senate bill would

188
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: lock in a future president and make it very difficult

189
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 2: for him to actually control the borders, at least at

190
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 2: least any anywhere below three nine daily illegal crossings.

191
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: Wow.

192
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: Tom McClintock, Congressman from the fourth district to California. Tom,

193
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: you hit it out of the park. Good stuff. I'm

194
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: sorry a fifth district, fifth district. Oh, they keep switching

195
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: the damn districts. You're right, don't worry. People will be

196
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: fired for giving me the wrong info. We don't we

197
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: enforce the rules here, maybe not in the way here

198
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: we do, all right, Tom, It's great to talk to you. Thanks,

199
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: keep up the good work. Thanks Armstrong and Getty
