24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: Rick Scott from Florida, and he and fellow Senator Ron

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Johnson from Wisconsin, two Republicans. They're part of the Homeland

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: Security Governmental Affairs Committee, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, and

27
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 1: they have been doing an investigation on all the state

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: and local failures when it came to the Palisades wildfire.

29
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: And today was to be another hearing, and let's talk

30
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: to Senator Rick Scott. Welcome, Senator, how are you well?

31
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 2: We had a great hearing today. And here's what's so frustrating.

32
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: The Holt Pali States fire was preventable. So twelve people

33
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: died and all that you've driven through of the Poli States,

34
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: all those homes are gone. None of it had to happen.

35
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: Happened not because we didn't have great firefires California does.

36
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 2: It happened because they had bad leadership. And so you look,

37
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: so I'm I am committed to getting answers for the

38
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: families that lost their loved ones, for the families that

39
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: lost their homes. We're gonna, you know, we're going to

40
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: give people all the information, so this doesn't happen again.

41
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: What have you learned, like today you had another hearing,

42
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: What was new information? What's stuck out in your mind?

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think what was clear today we had both

44
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 2: two chiefs that had both worked for the LA Fire Department,

45
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 2: and I think number one what was clear today is

46
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: that as a result of leadership lapses. Number one, the

47
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 2: fire shouldn't have happened because there was a there was

48
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,679
Speaker 2: a There was fire that was about about ten days

49
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: ahead of time that the fire department didn't put out.

50
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: It wasn't because again the fire fighters are incompetent. They

51
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: were told to leave and that the other fire was

52
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: still smoldering.

53
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: And that's the state so you don't do that. The

54
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 1: state park Reps told them to leave.

55
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, ultimately it's the decision of leadership. So I

56
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: mean they who controls the fire department is the mayor.

57
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: So the buck boy stops with the mayor of La.

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: So it was you know, ultimately it's her decision on

59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: these things. And if you're the mayor, if you're the governor,

60
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 2: it's your responsibility to get up to speed. I was,

61
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: I was the governor of Florida, and so what you

62
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 2: feel like is when you're the governor, if there's a problem,

63
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 2: you got to figure out how to make sure. Even

64
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 2: if it's not your responsibility, then make sure your mayors

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: are your county commissions, they do their job, because the

66
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: old one you're going to deal with it. So in

67
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: this case, think about what happened. Twelve people died, all

68
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 2: those homes destroyed there, you can rebuild one because you

69
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: can't get the permit. The permit costs too much money,

70
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: the cost of constructions too high, the cost of insurances too.

71
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: There's lots of reasons, right. And this is actually brought

72
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: to my attention through Spencer Pratt, where I met back

73
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 2: last August. He he gave me a tour and I

74
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 2: was just shocked because in sort of we haven't had wildfires.

75
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: We do a lot of prescribe burning in Floridas, we

76
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 2: don't have that. But when I had hurricanes, and I

77
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: had four major hurricanes. As governor, you're you're getting people

78
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 2: back at the home the next day, You're getting the

79
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 2: businesses reopen the next day as soon as as soon

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 2: as it happens, you're get going, you're getting permits, You're

81
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 2: doing all these things. You get people going, and I

82
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: was out there and nothing's happening. Just house, empty house

83
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: after empty house after empty house. Is no construction. Uh So,

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: so I think number one, all the problems were preventable nobody.

85
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: Number two is all leadership. Number three is they're trying

86
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: to cover up the mistakes. So there's you do after

87
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: you know, and whenever you have a disaster, you do

88
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: after action reports. And so they did here and so

89
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: U they're trying to change they were trying to change

90
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: it to say, oh, they did an unbelievable job. Wait

91
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 2: a minute, how could you have done an unbelievable job

92
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: when twelve people died in a preventable fire and all

93
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 2: the homes are burnt out. So we're going to bring accountability.

94
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 2: We're going to give answers, you know, hopefully, you know,

95
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 2: we're going to give everybody the information in California. Hopefully

96
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: there will be accountability. And then I don't want this

97
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: to happen again. And we'll spend a lot of federal

98
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: money we've given We've given California billions of dollars for

99
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: wildfire suppression in mitigation, and so I don't want if

100
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 2: that's going to happen. I don't want to keep doing it.

101
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: And why should Florida taxpayers, as an example, be responsible

102
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: for the incompetence of the governor and the mayor. We

103
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: shouldn't be.

104
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: You talked about being governor, and I've spent a lot

105
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: of time in Florida. I have a home there, second home,

106
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 1: and I'm amazed how well run the state is, whether

107
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: there's been a disaster or not. I mean, the state

108
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: really functions efficiently and it always has. And can you

109
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: talk to me about when you had hurricane warnings and

110
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: you were governor and you were dealing with the local mayors,

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: what did you guys do in the days beforehand? Because

112
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: here this windstorm was predicted a week in advance, the

113
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: fire warnings were a week in advance. Everybody knew there

114
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: had been a fire on New Year's Day, and now

115
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: it was January seventh, same fire got whipped up. But

116
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: it seems like nobody in the local government or in

117
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: the state government discussed these matters at all. And the

118
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: fire was you prepare people. Yeah, that's what I'm saying

119
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: to talk about how how you used to prepare Here's

120
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:48,479
Speaker 1: what I did.

121
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: Let's say let's say Hurricane IRMA. IRMA was bigger than

122
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: sort of right it was, and it looked it looked

123
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,359
Speaker 2: like when it got when our first warning was, it

124
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: looked like it was going to hit for the beach

125
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: a little bit north of there, and it just slowly

126
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: kept going south. And so what I did is I started.

127
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: I started. I was every day all along the east

128
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: coast of Florida, and I was meeting, and I was

129
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: doing press conference, and I've said, go wipe, follow the news,

130
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: get informed, prepare to evacuate. Nowhere, you have a plan.

131
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: If you plan on stay at home, you've got to

132
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: have seven days of water, seven days of food. Here's

133
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: your you know, go to. You could go to Florida

134
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 2: dot gov. We'll give you your action plan to stay.

135
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: And then as it got closer and we knew where

136
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: it was, good head to say though it's going to

137
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: be nine fort to storm search, you will not survive

138
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 2: nine for the storm search, you will die. And then

139
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 2: we prepositioned all the assets because which with a hurricane,

140
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: what you want to do is you've got to get

141
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: the power back on its quickly you can. You can

142
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: never allow people to run out of gas ever, because

143
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: that's how they're going to evacuate, right, you want them

144
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: out of their homes, so take the keys. Ultimately hit

145
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: the Florida Keys, and where it hit it was about

146
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 2: thirty miles wide. Thing there was. We only had one

147
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: person at stayed and not one person died. That one

148
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,119
Speaker 2: person got lucky because they were on the beach side.

149
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 2: So they got about six foot of storm surge a

150
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: little bit, well they got more than that, but then

151
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 2: in the house they got like five or six and

152
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: so they were able to survive. But that everybody else

153
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: I got to evacuate. And then what you do is

154
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: as soon as it happens, right, you're getting you're getting

155
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: resources in, you get water, you get food, You've got

156
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 2: all your shelters open, and then you figure out how

157
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: do I get people back in their homes, how do

158
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: I get the business back open, how do I make

159
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: sure I clean the roads, get rid of the debris,

160
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: and so you just work like that. So so what

161
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 2: I've been surprised with this is that the new one,

162
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 2: if you listen to there was no evacuation plan at all, right,

163
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: and there's been no almost no construction. Now it's been

164
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 2: a year. So I was there in August, and I

165
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 2: was back in for a field hearing in November and

166
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: there's almost been no construction.

167
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: And people feel abandoned. They truly feel, and I think

168
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: the fire bands. Yeah, nobody cares. Nobody on the local

169
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: level and the state level cares at all what happens

170
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: to their lives.

171
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 2: So here's what you learn if you're going to if

172
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: you're going to be in a leadership position, if you're

173
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: the mayor of the governor, the first thing you learn

174
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: is you show up. Because every I had four hurricanes,

175
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: and every hurricane I learned something right. And then what

176
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: we did is wet after the hurricane, we sat down.

177
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: We did it actually after action important said okay, the

178
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: next hurricane, this is what we're going to do different,

179
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,959
Speaker 2: and we share that with everybody around the state. So

180
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 2: as an example, we had we had some people die

181
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: in a nursing home and we had offered to evacuate everybody,

182
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 2: and the nursing room operator decided not to do it.

183
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: So what we did is we passed the legislation said

184
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: every nursing home from now on is going to have

185
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 2: a generator, because what happened there is they didn't have electricity.

186
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: I'm for to get to electricity back on. I had

187
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 2: a report every three hours once it was going to

188
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 2: once it was going to hit, and how fast people

189
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 2: got back on. So what? And I showed people how

190
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: all the other utilities were doing versus how they were doing.

191
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 2: So guess what. It pushed everybody to be better. Then

192
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: I figured out how to get them to share resources,

193
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 2: because when I started my first hurricane, you know, nobody

194
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 2: shared resources. There's forty four utilities in Florida. By the

195
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: second one, they had operating agreements with everybody else, so

196
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,080
Speaker 2: they were able to share. They a will to share

197
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 2: all their resources, whether it was trucks or lines or people.

198
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: They had a whole plan to share resources. Because what

199
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: I did was after the fact, I set them all down.

200
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 2: I brought them to all the utilities, brought to the mansion.

201
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 2: I said, here's my goal, and so they did. By

202
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 2: the next hurricane season, they did all that.

203
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: So, yeah, my time is running out, and I do

204
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: appreciate you coming on. But one theme of everything you

205
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,599
Speaker 1: said is there's a lot of communication. There was a

206
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: lot of meetings, there was a lot of consideration of

207
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: all the things that could happen. The after effects and

208
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: how you would deal with any any number of scenarios.

209
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: We had none of that here, even though the warnings

210
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: were out for a week. And you know, our mayor

211
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: went to Africa three days before the fire.

212
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: And can you adagine can you imagine leaving yep, I

213
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: mean leaving town in the middle of a disaster.

214
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: Every day it's still I know, and believe me, we

215
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: have collected all the National Weather Service warnings. They use

216
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: the most apocalyptic language I'd ever seen in the weather

217
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: forecast about fire danger and wind danger. And she got

218
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: on a plane and disappeared. And I hope we can

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: talk again as you continue this investigation. Thank you for

220
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: coming on.

221
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 2: All right, take care, godbye.

222
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 1: All right, that's us Senator Rick Scott from Florida.

223
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI Am

224
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 3: six forty.

225
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: We just had Senator Rick Scott from Florida. He and

226
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson. They have an interest in what

227
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: happened in the past alis ades. They had a hearing

228
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: today and testifying at the hearing one year after the

229
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: disaster was the title of it was Patrick Butler, the

230
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 1: fire chief and harbor master at the Redondo Beach Fire Department.

231
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: Patrick Butler was a high ranking fire official in Los

232
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 1: Angeles for years. Rick Crawford also testified, former battalion chief

233
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Fire Department. They were both quoted in many

234
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 1: LA Times articles about the ineptitude of the fire department

235
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: when it came to completely putting out the original fire.

236
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean that was the original sin was not putting

237
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: out the January first fire for good. It was still smoldering,

238
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: as you know, there was still a lot of heat

239
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: coming out. And they have talked extensively in these articles

240
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: about the the well known, well accepted protocols and what

241
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: to do. But what Rick Scott said is correct. It's

242
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: what we talked about. They were chased off the land

243
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: by Newsom's people from the State Parks Department. So they're

244
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 1: doing this investigation. By the way, LA Fire Department did

245
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: investigation and it was total whitewashed nonsense. Now now we know,

246
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: right six Rewrights Public Relations company involved. Karen Best stuck

247
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: her nose in there so that she didn't get any blame.

248
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: Kristin Crowley is gone. The interim chief, Ronnie v and

249
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: A Wave is gone, and he was involved with this

250
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: pr situation hied me more. The new chief. First thing

251
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: he said is all my firefighters are getting smeared, and

252
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,320
Speaker 1: I think he backed away from that. It's all about

253
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 1: the cover up. It's all about not looking for the truth,

254
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: not caring about the truth. And news. The News had

255
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 1: some state investigation. I've never seen that. I'm sure that's

256
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna be a load of horseman nor So, we had

257
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: no investigations. We've had nothing, nothing real, nothing that gave

258
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: us a complete timeline, Nothing where everyone admitted how they

259
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: filed this up and how they're responsible. Nothing. So Rick Scott,

260
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: Ron Johnson, they're from Florida and Wisconsin. Oh yes, they're Republicans.

261
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: They came here and held a hearing. They had another

262
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: hearing today and Newsom. Newsom's response is that this is

263
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: political grant standing. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, isn't

264
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: that crazy when doctor Oz is pointing out all the

265
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: Armenian and Russian fake hospice companies that are looting millions

266
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: of dollars in Van ny Is. Newsom's response was, oh,

267
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: doctor Oz is engaging in some kind of racism here

268
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: because he's a Turk and these fake owners are Armenian

269
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: and now here you have two US senators investigating the

270
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: Palisades fire, something that the two California US senators won't do,

271
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: and somehow well, this is just some kind of political stunt. No,

272
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: it's not. You are partly responsible for the fire. I'm

273
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: talking about Newsom. He's responsible for this. He didn't pre

274
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: deploy any fire fighters anywhere near the Palisades, even though

275
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: we had the fire seven days earlier. He lied about it,

276
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: he claimed he did. The thing is now with the internet,

277
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: there are all kinds of maps that will show you

278
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: where the deployment was. There was no deployment. He completely

279
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: made it up, like he made up being on the

280
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: phone with Joe Biden when that Palisades mother confronted him

281
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: on the street. He just lies, and then he has

282
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: his press office come up with these bizarre accusations. Yeah,

283
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: doctor Oz Turkish races good one.

284
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

285
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, these two senators, they're just doing a political stud

286
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: No they're not. They're doing the investigation that Newsom will

287
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: never do because he and his agencies are profoundly implicated

288
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: responsible for the deaths, responsible for this hundreds of billions

289
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: of dollars of damage. He's the one. He's the one

290
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: who negotiated the insurance deal with his stooge insurance commissioner,

291
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: cal fart Lara, And they had so many loopholes that

292
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: the insurance company canceled policies by the tens of thousands

293
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 1: two months before the fire. Thousands in the Palace seats

294
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: had their insurance policies canceled two months before the fire,

295
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: got thrown into the fair plan, which doesn't pay crap

296
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: and his bankrupt anyway, that's the state plan. So of

297
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: course he doesn't want Johnson and Scott to continue investigating.

298
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: Of course they do this smear campaign. That's what they do.

299
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: Totally incompetent, dangerously incompetent, overwhelmed by the job, incapacitated. He

300
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: has no responses left other than the tired old places.

301
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 1: Oh it's racism, it's politics. No, you're really, really catastrophically

302
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: bad at your job. I can't recall a governor this

303
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: bad of any state, of any party in my life.

304
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: And he's running for president and part of him is

305
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: panicking because all this is true, the fraud is true,

306
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 1: and they've only scratched the surface on that. All right,

307
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: we come back. Ilhan Omar gets attacked at a town

308
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: hall with some smelly brown liquid.

309
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,879

Speaker 1: incompetence regarding the Palisades fire, and Ted Kruz, the Texas Senator,

316
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: on his bill that is becoming law which allows every

317
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: baby who's born this year and over the next two

318
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: years three years. Actually you get a thousand dollars from

00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,439
Speaker 1: the federal government be automatically invested in a stock index

320

Speaker 1: business or go to college with that money. It's a

324
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: really a great idea. This is the kind of stuff

325
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: the government should be doing, providing money. So a generation

326
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: understands how money is made, instead of being resentful of corporations,

327
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: resentful of capitalism, learned how to play the game and

328
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: take the tax money that you've collected from the parents

329
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: and spread it around the kids. That's a good thing

330
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: to do. So listen to Ted Kruz. He's in the

370
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: dive under the podium or run out of the room.

371
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 5: She was making a point.

372
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: She would She went charging towards the guy which Trump.

373
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: Trump was asked about it. He goes, I think that

374
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: was staged, knowing her it wasn't staged. It's just a

375
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: weird guy. Uh, Anthony Cosmirchak sounds polish, looks like it's

376
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,640
Speaker 1: one of my crazy one of my crazy counts.

377
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 5: Do you do something like that?

378
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 1: Huh uh toss a foul smelling.

379
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 5: Liquid with it.

380
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: Never, It never occurred to me. It might be an

381
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: option now, uh catch Marechick's neighbor said that, uh ketch.

382
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: Marchick had asked if this neighbor, Brian Kelly, could watch

383
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,679
Speaker 1: his dog because he was going to see Omar speak.

384
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: And he said, I'm going to this Omar thing. And

385
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: Kelly said, Omar what? And he said the town hall.

386
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: I might get arrested. And Kelly dismissed it. I figured

387
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: it was nonsense. He wasn't gonna do anything stupid. Said,

388
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure I'll walk the dog next day. He said,

389
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: don't worry about walking the dog. I've got to cover it.

390
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: I figured he blew that off. Next thing, you know,

391
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 1: kasmaris on TV spraying his brown smelly liquid all over

392
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: the place. So he's been arrested third degree assault. Kelly said,

393
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 1: that kasmeric had been heavily medicated after a car wreck

394
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: that affected his spine years ago. So he's not physically

395
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,280
Speaker 1: able to do very much. So let me guess he

396
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: sits at home, immobilized in pain, stewing, probably drinking too much,

397
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: watches way too much cable news, and gets all wound

398
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: up over ilhan Omar's existence. I'm gonna stop her. I'll

399
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 1: show her. Here's some vinegar, apple, apple, cider vinegar. How

400
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 1: about that. That'll teach you. The neighbor said, I didn't

401
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 1: take him seriously. I'm surprised, but not overly surprised. That's

402
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: a good endorsement. I thought he was would stand up

403
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: and say something stupid. I can't imagine him assaulting or

404
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 1: spraying someone. Everybody said it smelled terrible. Maybe this was

405
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: old expired vinegar.

406
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 5: Else, I mean, it doesn't smell amazing. I just said

407
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 5: it's healthy.

408
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: Sounds sounds like it's a it's a good colon glenser. Yeah,

409
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: you know anything that smells that bad. A council member

410
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: Leatricia Vatah she got sprayed. She said it was like

411
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: vinegar ammonia. The odor was overwhelming.

412
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 5: Oh would you like me to bring some in for you.

413
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's not really. I'm always wary when

414
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 1: I opened the door to your studio because we should

415
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,960

00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: Those focus pocus products you can get in a nutrition store.

437
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: It's all wild claims. None of them are ever proven.

438
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: They never take it funny scientific testing.

439
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 5: But you know, sometimes you just got it. You gotta believe.

440
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: It's like witchcraft. All this, all those supplements and nutritional things,

441
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: it's just witch grafts.

442
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,400
Speaker 5: And I think, you know, remember when I had that

443
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 5: fungus on my nails, I was told to put my hands.

444
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 1: I have fond memories of the fungus on your nails.

Speaker 5: To dip your hands in apple cider vinegar.

448
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: Nothing kills fungus. If that vinegar can fill fungus, that

449
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 1: can't be good.

450
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 5: For They didn't work.

451
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: That's a tough fungus. It was.

452
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 5: I had to take pills.

453
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: Where'd you get that from?

454
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:06,919

Speaker 3: AM six forty.

458
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: You know there there's so much propaganda, lies and nonsense

459
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: being spewed in on media channels. I don't even want

460
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: to call them news channels. It's basically political propaganda. And

461
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 1: Tom Homan went on Morning Joe on what used to

462
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: be called MSNBC. I think it's now called MS now

463
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 1: because NBC wants nothing to do with this channel. And

464
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: it's Joe Scarborough, Mika Brazinski's wife. To the co hosts,

465
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: you might be familiar with them, and they've been covering ICE,

466
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: very negative coverage. And Homan went on and this is

467
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 1: how you have to deal with people who spread papaganda.

468
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 1: You take it right back and shove it in their face.

469
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: Razinski was claiming that ICE is disappearing people. This is

470
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: the new trendy, cool term that progressives use for law enforcement.

471
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: Listen to Homan, who's now in charge of the Minneapolis operation,

472
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: go after Mika Brzinski.

473
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 6: I see on the shouw this morning you have Governor

474
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 6: Heay talking about ICE do an enforcement operation to the church.

475
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: They were parked there.

476
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 5: They didn't do an operation there. She said, they were

477
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 5: parked in a public space legally, But to.

478
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 6: Say that and to push that out there put fear

479
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 6: in the immigrant community.

480
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 3: So to park to the ICE agent's vehicle.

481
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 1: Street the public.

482
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 6: Street, waiting to respond to a criminal alien release pulled

483
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 6: outside of the road. Let me tell you, in the

484
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 6: last couple of days, what's happened in bar They've arrested

485
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 6: Victor Goldbetz Paris, the thirty three year old criminal alily

486
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 6: from Guatemala fin asultant batty with dangerous weapon in decent

487
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 6: assault and battery on a victim fourteen years or younger.

488
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 6: They arrested Katie Espinoza, thirty fe year old criminal alien

489
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 6: from Columbia, with charges of aggravat as assault on a

490
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 6: pregnant victim. They've arrested Joshua Gonzalez, a twenty four year

491
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 6: old criminal alien from Dominican Republic, with charges for trafficking heroin, morphine, opium,

492
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 6: resisting police, dislready conduct, and drug distribution. They also arrested

493
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 6: Samuel Armando Barrero, a twenty year old criminal illegal an

494
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 6: from Guatemlo Opendon charges for sault and battery on a child.

495
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 6: So Mayor Wu and Governor Healey, they all be calling

496
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 6: ICE and thanking them for making their streets safer, protecting

497
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 6: their communities and taking these people off the street. They've

498
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 6: turned a blind eye to this or Sanctuary city sanctuaries

499
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 6: cities and sanctuary states are sanctuaries for criminals. Give ICE

500
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 6: access to the jail to arrest a bad guy in

501
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 6: the jail rather than have to go into the community

502
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 6: to find them. Because when you go into the community

503
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 6: find it puts ICE officers at greater risk. It puts

504
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 6: the community at greater risk, It puts the alien at

505
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 6: greater risk. Because anything happrimes to reader risk. This is

506
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 6: what we're trying to do. We're trying to prioritize.

507
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: Probably say you can stop it here. So this happened

508
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: in Boston in September, but I wanted you to hear

509
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: the list of charges against the criminals that Holman's ICE

510
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: team was rounding up. They have rounded up tens of

511
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: thousands of criminals. There is never any time given on

512
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: any of these networks to the victims of these criminals,

513
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: the suffering, the deaths, the injuries, the hospitalizations, the pain,

514
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: the suffering of the families and friends. No time to

515
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: spend on that. They have successively deported hundreds of thousands

516
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: of people in most of the states, nearly all the

517
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: states without incidents. You had two situations in Minneapolis. In

518
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: both cases, I'm sorry, I tend to blame the victim

519
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: in these situations to some extent, stay home, don't interfere

520
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: when ICE is trying to do enforcement actions against criminals.

521
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: Get out of there. It's not your business, it's not

522
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 1: your place. Don't bring a loaded gun out onto the street.

523
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: Alex Pretty. Will see what the investigation shows. Maybe it

524
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: was a wrongful shooting. Same thing with Renee Good. The

525
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: investigations will go one way or the other on that.

526
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: But what are you doing there? Nobody, nobody, he would

527
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: tell any family members, Hey, there's there's there's an ICE raid.

528
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's try to help out the illegal criminal

529
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: aliens and keep them from getting rid. Nobody normal does this.

530
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: These are mental patients, Alex Pretty, Renee Good. These are

531
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: people who have who had some mental problems and they

532
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: put themselves in play and went into a dangerous situation.

533
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: Maybe the cops responded wrongfully, and if they did, then

534
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 1: they should be convicted and they should be put away,

535
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: just like Derek Chauvin was when he killed George Floyd.

536
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 1: But this nonsense that ICE is going to be abolished,

537
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: ICE has to be removed. ICE is get the bleep

538
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: out of here. This is all garbage. And that's why

539
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm glad Holman is in charge of the Minneapolis situation,

540
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: because you know what he was saying on MSNBC back

541
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: in September about Boston, that's the attitude you need. What

542
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: you need to is why don't we redirect the spotlight

543
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: on all the killings by these ellegal aliens and all

544
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: the rapes and all the assaults and all the mayhem

545
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: and all the costs, And how about these American citizens

546
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: go home? These are paid agitators, pretty and rede gootes.

547
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: They they were part of organized agitator groups. These aren't

548
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: just innocent moms, innocent nurse innocent whoever was that? No

549
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: that this this became their their sideline, their hobby to

550
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: interfere with federal law enforcement. Who does that? And what

551
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: and what the progressives have done is they've taken mentally

552
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 1: ill paper mentally ill people, whip them up and leverage

553
00:33:53,400 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: them so they become martyrs. They've organized these craized groups,

554
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: preyed upon their mental illness, got them into a frothing frenzy,

555
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: so they storm out into the streets when it's ten

556
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: below zero and they end up getting shot because of

557
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: the trouble that they created. Again, if the cops are

558
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,680
Speaker 1: found to do wrong, you put the cops in prison.

559
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: But this stuff is nonsense here. They're still going to

560
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:26,439
Speaker 1: enforce the border. They're still going to deport people they

561
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,400
Speaker 1: have to. We're not going to have a nation with

562
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: millions of illegal aliens and hundreds of thousands of criminals.

563
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen anymore. That's over and in forty

564
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: nine states right now, everybody's going along with the program.
