1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot that this administration is getting

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: done and accomplishing on the global front domestically here at home.

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: Let's not forget year one month. I'm gonna guess here, Clay,

4
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: I'd say by month three of the administration, maybe it

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: was even quicker, Maybe it was month two, the border

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: was secure. The border even.

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: Talks about it anymore. It's even a topic of discussion.

8
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: We have been led to believe, honestly for my entire

9
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: adult life, like the border, you can't it's just crazy,

10
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: it's pandemonium. You can't stop all these illegals. If you

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: refuse to stop them, you can't stop them. But it

12
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 1: turns out if you enforce the law, you can stop them.

13
00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: Very very important revelation and a huge win for the

14
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 1: Trump administration. Now, now we go into twenty twenty six

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: with the Venezuela operation, which is tactically, logistically and perhaps strategically,

16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: we'll see the implications play out. One of the most

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: impressed of military operations in certainly modern American history. I mean,

18
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,279
Speaker 1: it goes alongside the bin Laden raid as a wow

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: moment for the United States military and the operators and

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: the pilots and everybody involved intel officers. So that's pretty impressive.

21
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: But we also have a lot of people in this

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: administration who are really good at handling the press in

23
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: some cases because they have as much time in the

24
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: press as Clay, you and I do. Pete Hegseth and

25
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 1: I started in media. We used to sit together at

26
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: Glenn Beck's The Blaze, at the Real News Table and

27
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: talk national security. In twenty twelve, twenty eleven. It's been

28
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: a long time, so Pete, now Secretary of War is

29
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: pretty good at handling the media, and they need a

30
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: reminder of that sometimes. Here he is dealing with CNN

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: talking about the oil situation with Venezuela and what's playing

32
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: out today. Let's hear how Secretary of Warhaggs had to

33
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: say it.

34
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,279
Speaker 3: I want to emphasize that question from CNN. The questions

35
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: never asked how much does it cost when they're in

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 3: the Mediterranean or the Red Sea or the Indian Ocean

37
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: of the Pacific. But now that they're in our hemisphere

38
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 3: and the countercrtel mission or ensuring that a dited individual

39
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 3: comes to justice, now you're asking the question of costs.

40
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 3: It's a disingenuous question to begin with You're trying to

41
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: find any angle possible to undermine the success of one

42
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: of the more historic military missions the world has ever seen.

43
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 3: The level of sophistication that Senate just was briefed on,

44
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: and the House was briefed on a classified level is

45
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 3: something only the United States of America can accomplish. The

46
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 3: world is taking notice of that. Certainly, Venezuela is taking

47
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: notice of that. And it continues because two oil tankers

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: two overnight were seized by the United.

49
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 4: States of America.

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 1: Clay Secretary of War Hegseth is spiking the football and

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: the other team's end zone, running up into the stands

52
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: and high fiving the home fans.

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: Well, look, you know, I hate to brag or draw attention.

54
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: It's just not my thing. There's other people that are

55
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: you know, you are a paragon of humility, that is true,

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: maybe the humblest person on the planet. What Pete Hegg

57
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: said this demonstrating here is something that I think you

58
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: and I hopefully are able to demonstrate quite frequently is

59
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 2: most media that are trying to drive narratives are not

60
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: actually that smart. And so what he's doing is he's

61
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: rebutting the premise of their question because he already recognizes

62
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: what the intent of the question is designed to create,

63
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 2: and he's getting ahead of where they are able to

64
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 2: analyze it. And I think this is we have talked

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: about this so much, and I like to think that

66
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 2: Twitter is helping to change. Twitter x is helping to

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 2: change that. The power of the legacy media is in

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: deciding to cover the stories that they choose to cover.

69
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: All of you out there that are listening to us,

70
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: all of you that are out there that are watching

71
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 2: right now, you are as a group far better in

72
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: form than the average person is on the left. That

73
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: doesn't mean necessarily that you're that that What it really

74
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: gets to is if you are in the echo chamber

75
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 2: of the left, you are typically not in any way

76
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 2: engaging in the arguments made by the right, Whereas because

77
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: of the cultural power of the left, even if you

78
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 2: disagree with the arguments of the left, you're aware of

79
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 2: the arguments that they're making and what Pete has done.

80
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: And I would argue, Marco Rubio jd Vance, the top

81
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: trio that Donald Trump put at the top of his

82
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 2: administration is they're all smarter than the media that are

83
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: covering them. And that's why we always see I mean, frankly,

84
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: when you see like Margaret Brinn better at doing media

85
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: by the way, better better atia, better at communicating than

86
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: the media people. So when you see Margaret Brennan, who

87
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: we played earlier this week, try to go after Marco Rubio,

88
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: it's like a It's like a kid trying to argue

89
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: with an adult. There's just a different level of sophistication

90
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 2: and knowledge from Rubio. And what you saw with that

91
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: clip of Hegseth is he is I mean as a

92
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: guy who's been in media for a long time, aware

93
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: of what the intent of that question is, and he's

94
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: blowing it up on its face. And this is why

95
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the criticisms that came to

96
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: bear people came after Trump early in the two point

97
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: zero and they said, oh, he's got Pete Hegseth, he's

98
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 2: just a TV guy. He's got Judge Janine, She's just

99
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 2: a TV gal, and they tried to make that as

100
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: an attack. Actually communicating is, I would argue, the primary

101
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: job of most of the people that are at the

102
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: top of these businesses. So if you can't explain why

103
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: you're doing what you're doing, you're not very useful, and

104
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: Trump gets that.

105
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: You know, who else, they said is just a TV guy?

106
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: President Trump, who, no matter what one thinks of him,

107
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: will go down as one of the most consequential political

108
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: leaders in world history of the twenty first century. That

109
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 1: that is already where we are, the Trump era of

110
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: American politics. I don't even think people are gonna remember

111
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: what Biden. Biden is going to soon be one of

112
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: these presidentcies Clay. You know, it's gonna be like people

113
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: who are trying to think back, like what was the

114
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: what was the Pierce administration, like, you know, or what

115
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: was you know, people are gonna say, was that guy

116
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: really president? Or was he vice president? No one's even

117
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: gonna remember.

118
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna Carter, right, Jimmy Carter unlike, but

119
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: he was young enough when he was president that he

120
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: had a post presidency that helped to redeem the era

121
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 2: of his presidency.

122
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: Well, he's remembered for being terrible, and maybe Biden will

123
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: be remembered for being a terrible president as well.

124
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's the But the difference is Carter

125
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 2: was able to redeem himself because of his post presidency.

126
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 2: Biden's not gonna have any kind of redemption. I think

127
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: Biden's gonna go down as the worst president any of

128
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: us have ever seen. And by the way, what you

129
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: got at is the job of a president, and the

130
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 2: job by and large of most of these cabinet secretaries

131
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: is really too When you distill it, what do they do?

132
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: They make decisions, judgment, and they communicate. That's the entirety

133
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: of the job. Communication. When you're on television, when you're

134
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 2: in media, that's our job. We have to make sense

135
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: of complex things and explain why they matter. Figuring out

136
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: who's good at that and putting them in your administration's

137
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: actually a huge part of the decision that's being made.

138
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: Now.

139
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: You can quibble with the judgment, but buck the judgment.

140
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: They're very I can't even hardly point to anything. Maybe

141
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 2: I don't like Trump taking a shot at the Rhiner, right,

142
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: like I wish he wouldn't have done that after he

143
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: got murdered.

144
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 4: Right.

145
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 2: You can go into judgment occasionally and say, hey, there's

146
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 2: things that I think Trump bulling a china shop could

147
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: do better. But I agree with ninety five percent of

148
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: the decisions that have been made by the Trump administration

149
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: so far, and from a communication perspective, we have the

150
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 2: best and most available. Nobody takes more questions in the

151
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 2: history of media that I can remember in the history

152
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: of modern politics than the Trump two point zero administration.

153
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: So again, I think that they are really getting ahead

154
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: of the criticisms and cutting the legs out from underneath

155
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: them in the process. And by the way, I think

156
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: we should buy Greenland. I think we should take over Cuba.

157
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 2: I have an expansionist view of what American power should

158
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 2: look like. That doesn't mean that I want our soldiers

159
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 2: on the ground in those countries things like that, but

160
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: we should be I think setting the table for generations

161
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: to come in a better fashion than we otherwise would be.

162
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: So on that front, play Trump put out the following,

163
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: I am pleased this is on truth social I am

164
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: pleased to announce that the interim authorities in Venezuela will

165
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: be turning over between thirty and fifty million barrels of

166
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: high quality, sanctioned oil to the United States of America.

167
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: This oil will be sold at its market price, and

168
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: that money will be controlled by me as President of

169
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: the United States, to ensure it's used to benefit the

170
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: people of Venezuela and the United States. I've asked Energy

171
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: Secretary Chris Right to execute this plan immediately. It will

172
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: be taken by storage ships and brought directly to unloading

173
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: docks in the United States. Thank you for your attention

174
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: in this matter, and that's from the President himself. This

175
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 1: is the plan, and I think this plan is likely

176
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: to be very successful. What is a better situation a

177
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: Venezuela with the United States keeping pressure on for it

178
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: to What do we want in Venezuela. We want it

179
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: not to be a hellhole. We want it not to

180
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: be a communist launchpad in our hemisphere. We want the

181
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: people of Venezuela to have enough food to eat, not

182
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: to be at the whim of prison gangs that are

183
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: allied with the communist thug government. And we want the

184
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: oil to flow, and we want them to honor contracts

185
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: and honor you know, the market of We give them money,

186
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: they give us oil. That's all we want.

187
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 4: Yes, we don't, we don't.

188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: We're not sending eighty second airborne to walk the streets

189
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: of Karakas. We're not trying to make them all male

190
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: feminists or whatever.

191
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 4: You know.

192
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: We get it right. The lessons of Iraq and Afghanistan.

193
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: I think are very much in this administration's mind and

194
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: in the minds of all of you listening. And I

195
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: think that Clay understanding the leverage point here means that

196
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: there's a there's a good that's going to be ugly

197
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: for a while. There's gonna be some reprisals that happen

198
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: on the streets. We're already seeing some of that. It's

199
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: not gonna be perfect, but what's the alternative? How much

200
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: worse could it be everybody than what Venezuela has been

201
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: for the last twenty years. I think also this is

202
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: important because we do get some response, and I welcome it.

203
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: By the way, eight hundred and two A two two

204
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: eight A two you can get us with talkbacks as well.

205
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: People say, well, how is this different than Iraq? The

206
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: answer is, and we've tried to hammer this home. But

207
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I think it's important. Venezuela used to be one of

208
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: the wealthiest countries in the world on a per capita basis.

209
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: Certainly in Western Hemisphere, there is no You've talked about

210
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: this quite a lot, but because you were in Iraq,

211
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: there is no Sunni Shia divide, there's no religious fundamentalism

212
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: that is embedded, ingrained in the aspect of Venezuelan life.

213
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 2: All we're seeking here is for Venezuela to look somewhat

214
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 2: like it did in nineteen ninety five, and for the

215
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 2: people to be able to flourish in a capitalistic, market

216
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 2: based economy much like we have here.

217
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 1: Here's what we want. We want the Venezuelans who are

218
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, whatever's left of the of the bureaucracy And

219
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 1: let me we know that this guy dis Dalo Cabello,

220
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: he's a scumbag. He's probably gonna go to you know,

221
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: we'll see, right, I mean Trump. They're all on notice,

222
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: They've all it's been made very clear. You could either

223
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: do things that the United States wants you to do,

224
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: or we're gonna show up in the middle of the night.

225
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 1: We're gonna have the best operators in the world show

226
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: up in the middle of night, put a bag over

227
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: your head, and you're gonna end up in a US

228
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 1: federal prison. Okay, that's it. This is the world they

229
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: live in now. The people that are still behind to

230
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: the Margaret Brennan question, why didn't you take all of them?

231
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, because we don't live in a fantasy

232
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 1: land where you can do five of the most amazing

233
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: operations at once. So Clay, I think that the administration's

234
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: very sober minded about this. I think they understand that

235
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,959
Speaker 1: there are challenges here. You know, people are saying, oh,

236
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: but what about these insurgents and what about the border

237
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: of Columbia. Yeah, we're not pretending that we're fixing this

238
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 1: thing tomorrow. We're not pretending that they're greeting us with flowers.

239
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: And this is a Jeffersonian democracy. Evying is great, but

240
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 1: there is to your point, a tremendous natural resource here

241
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 1: that can provide a whole heck of a lot of

242
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: infrastructure and benefits to the people of Venezuela as well

243
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 1: as to the global oil supply and in our hemisphere specifically.

244
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: And we can do all these things because they used

245
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: to do all these things right. Venezuela was in a

246
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 1: very good place and it was ruined by the kammis

247
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: really what.

248
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: We need is we go to break here is and

249
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 2: this is why I think it's such a bigger part

250
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: of the com Western civilization makes everything better, and we

251
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: have to stop apologizing for Western civilization. And I think

252
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: it is connected to so much of the criticism that

253
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 2: we have allowed to embed in so much of the

254
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: left in this country.

255
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 4: I mean, I it is just.

256
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: Western civilization is a profoundly good thing, and we should

257
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: encourage it to flourish everywhere. What does that mean open markets?

258
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 2: It means a robust and uninhibited marketplace of ideas i e.

259
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: First Amendment protections. You can say whatever you want to say.

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 2: These are the things that lead to a better quality

261
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 2: of life for everyone across the entire world. And we

262
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,319
Speaker 2: have to stop apologizing for supporting that everywhere. And we

263
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 2: want you to be able to get in touch with everybody.

264
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: You know, I was talking about during the Christmas break,

265
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 2: rapid radios. How many of you were traveling on the road.

266
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 2: How many of you were with friends and family. How

267
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 2: many of you had kids running around the houses, grandkids,

268
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: all the chaos out there. How many times did you

269
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: just want to open the door and say, go outside,

270
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 2: go entertain yourselves, come back from time for dinner. You're

271
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: driving everybody crazy here, but you want to be able

272
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: to stay in touch with people. That's what a rapping

273
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 2: radio is all about. Modern day walkie talkies. I remember

274
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, how much i'd loved walkie talkies.

275
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: We had Gi Joe walkie talkies. They didn't work very well,

276
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: they didn't work very far, but we thought they were

277
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 2: so awesome. We ran around and played with him. I've

278
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: got kids. My eleven year old he loves his Rapid

279

Speaker 5: that are currently underway.

298
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 4: Everyone right now is leading with.

299
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: The story of an ice involved shooting in Minneapolis, so

300
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 2: this will not shock you, But in the wake of

301
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: the fraud revelations surrounding Somali Daycares, there has been an

302
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: expanded ICE presence brought to bear in Minneapolis. People on

303
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: the left have been protesting those ICE officers, and according

304
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: to Tricia McLaughlin, who just posted this at Tricia Ohio

305
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 2: on x today, ice officers in Minneapolis were conducting targeted

306
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: operations when rioters began blocking ICE officers. One of these

307
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our

308
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 2: law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them, an

309
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: act of domestic terrorism. I am reading from Tricia's post.

310
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 2: An ICE officer, fearing for his lives, the lives of

311
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: his fellow law enforcement and the safety of the public,

312
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: fired defensive shots. He used his training and saved his

313
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: own life and that of his fellow officers. The alleged

314
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 2: perpetrator was hit and is deceased. The ICE officers who

315
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: were hurt are expected to make full recoveries. Then she continues,

316
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: this is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization

317
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage

318
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: rampant assaults on our law enforcement. These men and women

319
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: who are simply enforcing the law are facing thirteen percent

320
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: increases and assaults against them, eight thousand percent increase in

321
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 2: death threats. This is an evolving situation. Will give more

322
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: info as it becomes available.

323
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 1: I think this is really important, Clay, especially right after

324
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: they tried to make such another big deal every year

325
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: we have to, you know, rend the garment, snashing of

326
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: teeth and everything. Over January sixth and as we know,

327
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: they mobilize the FBI in a way I've never seen

328
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: before really for almost anything, maybe even more so than

329
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: what we saw for nine to eleven. Mobilized the FBI

330
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: to go after people, including entirely non violent in some

331
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: cases accidental trespassing. Okay, that's really what it boils down to.

332
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: That Norm MacDonald thing about the terrorists respecting the velvet

333
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: ropes and statuary Hall, you know, the ruthless terrorists. You

334
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, right, That tweet that really

335
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: that really sticks out for a lot of people. Yeah,

336
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: it's an insurrection where people are taking selfies and walking around. Okay,

337
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 1: the same federal law, the same origin of authority that

338
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: we got all these just sanctimonious lectures about when it

339
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,959
Speaker 1: came to January sixth, how dare they they struck the officers,

340
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: They were standing in the way of these officers doing

341
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: all these things. Anything done to and by the way,

342
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: I disagreed with the violence against cops, then I disagree

343
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: with the violence against cops. Now can't do that. But

344
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: the very same federal law that they pretend to care

345
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: about when it came to January sixth and officers who

346
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: were in a scuffle is the same federal law that

347
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: these ICE officers. No one disagrees that they're enforcing the law.

348
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 1: This is what it has to be said over and

349
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: over again. They are not in violation federal law. They

350
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: are enforcing federal law. And the Democrats play this very underhanded,

351
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: really insidious game of acting like there's something wrong with

352
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,959
Speaker 1: law enforcement officers enforcing the law, which is exactly what

353
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: ICE is doing, which just goes to show you the

354
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: Democrat party does not care about the law. It cares

355
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: about power. It cares about what it wants and how

356
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 1: to get it. There is no principle at work here

357
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 1: because Clay, they are demonizing ice in a way we

358
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: have not seen when it comes to law enforcement since

359
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 1: BLM two point zero and the lies about racist cops,

360
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: racist cops, black cops, white cops, all the cops. They're

361
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: shooting unarmed black men all the time. Actually they're doing

362
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: it almost never. And body cams have shown us what

363
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: cops really have to deal with day in and day out,

364
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: and overwhelmingly they should be given high fives, medals in

365
00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: gratitude all across the country. So I just think it's

366
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: really important to see that disparity, that dysfunctional approach. January sixth.

367
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: These are law enforcement officers we care so much, and

368
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 1: then these are ice officers. Democrats aren't standing up for them.

369
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 1: Democrats aren't upset about this. Why Clay, same federal law,

370
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: same authority.

371
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: I am looking right now. But because you knew it

372
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,879
Speaker 2: was going to happen, I agree with all that you

373
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 2: just said. You knew that it inevitably was going to

374
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: be the case that the video of the shooting would

375
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 2: shortly make its way onto social media. Because this is

376
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: an ice protest. There are tons of people out there.

377
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: What I can see right now as I look at

378
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 2: this video is a woman gets You can't tell who's driving,

379
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: so it evidently is a woman who was shot. Someone

380
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 2: gets in their car and drives at a very high

381
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 2: rate of speed from not driving at all to starting

382
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 2: so accelerating at a high rate of speed. And the

383
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 2: video that I'm seeing right now, it doesn't have completely

384
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 2: the the shooting on it. You can hear it, but

385
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 2: I would suspect that as this starts to circulate more

386
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 2: that the story will vanish on the left because the

387
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 2: woman reverses and then starts to drive in a really

388
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 2: high rate of speed. Again, it's a little bit off

389
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 2: the uh off the screen where the shooting has happened

390
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: from the video that I'm seeing right now, but I

391
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 2: think it's gonna be hard to argue that this wasn't

392
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: someone engaging in a potentially violent and dangerous act. So

393
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: my reason for bringing that up is what always happens

394
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: when authority for use of force is justified, story just vanishes.

395
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: Nobody ever says, you know on see it in or MSNBC. Actually, boy,

396
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: this was a really dangerous situation. I'm glad that the

397
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: police officers ended up flying. They just pretend the story

398
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: didn't exist. And I think what you're hitting on is

399
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 2: something that's really important. First of all, Minnesotas lost its way.

400
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:58,160
Speaker 4: I mean, in the.

401
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: Wake of George Floyd all of the ridiculousness that's going

402
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 2: on in Minnesota, maybe I should have said Minnesota is

403
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: the is the state that we should give away instead

404
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 2: of New Mexico. Yesterday, Buck the mayor of Minneapolis, this

405
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: crazy lunatic Jacob Fry is already saying this is caused

406
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 2: because of Ice. Ice is responsible for this. They have

407
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: to be forced out of the state of Minnesota. I mean,

408
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 2: these people, their brains are broken. And even with Tim

409
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 2: Walls stepping down, is it a surprise to anyone that, again,

410
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 2: these lunatic leftists, they take the lesson that they're being

411
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: given here quite clearly from from their hair brained leaders,

412
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 2: and then they.

413
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 4: Engage in violent acts.

414
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how many times we have to see

415
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: it for somebody to just clearly be responding to the

416
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 2: impetus that's being put out there, the directive that's being

417
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: put out there from these Mini Minnesota to politicians.

418
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: You know, we have a huge law enforcement community that's

419
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: with us here listening and being a part of this

420
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: show every day all across the country. And they all

421
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: know that. These Democrats who grantstand about about the Capitol Police,

422
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: and it was amazing they stood you know. It was

423
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: the guy who was crying. He's like, you stood your

424
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: ground man.

425
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 4: You know the whole thing.

426
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 1: These Democrats don't care about law enforcement day to day

427
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 1: in America. They don't care about law enforcement officers. Like

428
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: I said, they care about power. Because Clay, if Democrats

429
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 1: cared about actual law enforcement, they wouldn't try to make

430
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 1: it easier for ICE officers to be docked as part

431
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: of their duty so that they and their families could

432
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: be threatened with, you know, murder and rape and horrible things.

433
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 1: But Democrats say, well, they can't, they can't cover their

434
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: identities when they do these missions. Why there's no unless

435
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: they're doing something wrong and they're all on No one's

436
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: saying they can't be observed doing what they're doing. They're

437
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: just saying their identities do not have to be shared

438
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: publicly as they're doing it. Why Democrats oppose that because

439
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: they want maniacs to bring pressure on ice and to

440
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: threaten to kill their family members. They want that to

441
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: happen because they politically oppose the enforcement of federal immigration law.

442
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: The Biden administration showed everybody exactly what the game is.

443
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: Wide open borders. Third worlders come in by the tens

444
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: of millions, get access to benefits, and anybody who says

445
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: a word about it is treated like there's some form

446
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: of Nazi or something. Well, people have had enough of that,

447
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: and that's actually a violation of our laws. And now

448
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: that the laws are being enforced, Democrats are showing once

449
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 1: again they are completely dishonest on this. They're liars on

450
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: this issue. They lie about it constantly. They want more illegals.

451
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: They're upset the border is secure, and they think that

452
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: somebody who arrived here five minutes ago from Somalia illegally

453
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 1: legally doesn't matter as long as they came from some

454
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,120
Speaker 1: country that's going to mean that they're likely to be

455
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: on welfare and vote Democrat in the future. They think

456
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: that person is as American as any of us, anybody here, anyone,

457
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: for no matter how many generations. That is their view.

458
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: That is their view.

459
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 6: You know.

460
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 2: What's also super interesting about this is and again, it's

461
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 2: amazing how certain stories don't get the attention they should.

462
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 2: We talked about this earlier this week when we came back,

463
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,679
Speaker 2: But I've been spending a lot of time looking at

464
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: murder rates all over the country. What Trump is doing

465
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 2: is overwhelmingly working. And a lot of these blue cities

466
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,360
Speaker 2: and blue states are some of the primary beneficiaries because

467
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: the fact that the murder rate's going to go down,

468
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 2: it's going to go down in cities because that's where

469
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: the vast majority of murders take place. And so Trump

470
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 2: actually talked about this, and we'll get into it maybe

471
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 2: a little bit later in the program, but Trump pointed out,

472
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 2: as you've been saying, we've been saying on this program,

473
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: it's a tiny percentage of people that are engaging in

474
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 2: violent acts, and if you arrest those people and put

475
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 2: them in prison, then the overall crime rate collapses. We

476
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 2: mentioned this as we went to break and we said

477
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 2: we would talk about it a bit more. President Trump

478
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: addressing affordability of homeownership. Blackrock stockbuck immediately drop ten percent

479
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: after the President's post about stopping large corporate interests from

480
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 2: being able to buy up a lot of different homes

481
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 2: out there. This is going to be an interesting angle

482
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 2: because I think a lot of young people, if you

483
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: have kids, and you have grandkids, if you have kids

484
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: that are in their twenties, in their early thirties, a

485
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 2: lot of people have just decided that home ownership, because

486
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 2: of the rapid acceleration of home prices, is something that

487
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: they can't aspire to anymore. And one thing that the

488
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: administration has pointed out is well, a lot of illegal

489
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 2: immigrants leaving would theoretically drive down rent cost and would

490
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: theoretically make homes more affordable. That's not a crazy perspective

491
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: at all. But if you are truly seeing prices on

492
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 2: homes accelerating because of corporatized ownership of homes, in other words,

493
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: individuals are trying to compete with big companies like Blackrock,

494
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 2: I don't know exactly what the impact of that would

495
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: be because I think it's hard to analyze whether they're

496
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: going to pass a law, what's the overall downstream impact

497
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: going to be. But if the stock price is immediately

498
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 2: dropping ten percent, that is suggesting to me that there

499
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 2: may be some some possibility of that large corporate ownership

500
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 2: of homes being curtailed going forward. And maybe it means

501
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 2: that things are going to get more affordable.

502
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 5: Now.

503
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 2: The number one reason things can change to make things

504
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 2: more affordable is mortgage rates could come back down. Right,

505
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 2: If we can get mortgage rates back down to three

506
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 2: and a half four percent from five and a half

507
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 2: and six percent, that would make a big difference because

508
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: it would free up a lot of this. By the way,

509
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 2: a lot of videos out there now popping of this shooting.

510
00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 2: Will continue to watch this and we'll update you again.

511
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 2: Minneapolis ice shooting. We gave you all those, but a

512
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: lot of videos now making their way online this year.

513
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 1: I want you to consider joining me on a mission

514
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: of sorts, the mission of owning gold. Every indication is

515
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: that gold is going to grow in value in twenty

516
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: twenty six. It's up by nearly five percent already this

517
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: year after growing sixty percent plus last year. Why is

518
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:25,160
Speaker 1: gold going up in value? Well, instability, money printing. And

519
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: this is just the long term thesis of gold. That

520
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: gold is good. It makes sense, it's stable, it's valuable

521
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: and at uncertain times, having some goal that's part of

522
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,359
Speaker 1: your portfolio, it's part of your savings plan. That just

523
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: makes sense. That's why I think you should check out

524
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: Birch Gold group. You're gonna like working with these people.

525
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: They're smart, they're straightforward, they're on your timeline, not theirs,

526
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: and they've got a really solid understanding of macroeconomics and

527
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: how gold plays into a long term picture. Look, this

528
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: is very straightforward. You can see what gold has done.

529
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: You can check and see what did you do last

530
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: year and what has it done already this year. It's

531
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: one of the very things about this is you can

532
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: look at that trajectory of gold. Has gold been going

533
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: up in value recently and going back action for quite

534
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: some time or down in value? Has gold historically been

535
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: valuable or is it something that people just.

536
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 4: Throw away or give away. Hmmm.

537
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: Gold makes sense, my friends. And until January thirtieth, if

00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 5: should on the Sunday Hang with Clay and Buck podcast.

553
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: All right, everybody, third hour of Clay and Buck kicks

554
00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: off right now, and we are handling this breaking news

555
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: from the last hour still of a ICE involved Immigrations

556
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 1: and Customs enforcement involved fatal shooting in Minneapolis. There is

557
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: video of the incident. It is being broadly shared online.

558
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: The situation is there were ICE operations underway. You have

559
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: a snowy street scene in Minneapolis, and a car an

560
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: SUV with officers partially surrounding it, accelerates rapidly and swerves,

561
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: and there's an officer in front of the vehicle. He

562
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: draws his service weapon or had a service weapon drawn

563
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: perhaps I can't really see in the video, but fires

564
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: a few shots and the woman driving the vehicle has

565
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: been killed. Now we know there have been a lot

566
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: of very aggressive and actually illegal, right, you can't throw

567
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: things at ICE officers, you can't attack ICE officers physically.

568
00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: That's a assault on federal law enforcement, which Democrats care

569
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: about only once, it seems, which is in January sixth.

570
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 1: They don't care about assaults on federal law enforcement any

571
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 1: other time. And in fact, they are encouraging, encouraging the

572
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: defamation of ICE officers day in and day out from

573
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: the largest left wing media outlets in the country. And

574
00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: then they act like clay. We're supposed to be surprised

575
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: when terrible things happen because Democrats have convinced their lunatic

576
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: base that immigrations and customs enforcement is like the Gestapo

577
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: or the Stazi of East Germany or whatever some evil

578
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: secret police force. What they are doing is entirely lawful.

579
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: It is law that was asked by the United States Congress. Democrats,

580
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: by the way, I might add, do not have any

581
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: alternative for this law, which is that you are in

582
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: the country illegally, you are subject to deportation. There is

583
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: nothing else that they have offered up in response this

584
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: other than the continued violation of the law, the continued

585
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:24,520
Speaker 1: state of eroding sovereignty that the Biden White House and

586
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: previous administrations in general put us in. So Clay, I

587
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: think it's worth everyone hearing, first off, the response, we

588
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: have a DHS secretary Nome, Ice falls under DHS. She

589
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: spoke on this one. Let's let everyone hear what the

590
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 1: Cabinet secretary who oversees this law enforcement operation and agency

591
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 1: has said about it. Played Christine Nome, But you asked.

592
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 7: About a shooting that we just had in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

593
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 7: It was an active domestic terrorism. What happened was our

594
00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 7: ice officers were out in an enforcement action. They got

595
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 7: stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that

596
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 7: is in Minneapolis. They were attempting to push out their

597
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 7: vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them

598
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 7: and attempted to run them over and ram them with

599
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 7: her vehicle. An officer of ours acted quickly and defensively

600
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 7: shot to protect himself and the people around him. And

601
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 7: my understanding is that she was hit and is deceased

602
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 7: or continue to gather more information, but this goes to

603
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 7: show the assaults that our ice officers and our law

604
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 7: enforcement are under every single day. These vehicle rammings are

605
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 7: domestic acts of terrorism. We're working with a Department of

606
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 7: Justice to prosecute them. As such, we will continue to

607
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 7: protect our ice officers and in cooperation with other law

608
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 7: enforcement agencies as well.

609
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: Now, Calle, just on the other side of this real quick,

610
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: just so we can get what's being said. Here's Mayor

611
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: let's have you react to this. Here's Mayor Frey Cup

612
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: thirty four.

613
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 8: They are not here to cause safety in this city.

614
00:33:57,560 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 8: What they are doing is not to provide safety in America.

615
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 8: What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. They're

616
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 8: ripping families apart, They're selling chaos on our streets and

617
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 8: in this case quite literally killing people.

618
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 4: So they are already.

619
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 8: Trying to spin this as an action of self defense.

620
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 8: Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell

621
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 8: everybody directly that is booked. This was an agent recklessly

622
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 8: using power that resulted in somebody dying getting killed.

623
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: Then he went on to say, get the f out

624
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 4: of the city.

625
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: I am continuing to watch videos and this newest video

626
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,800
Speaker 2: that I am seeing it was just shared by Tim Poole,

627
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 2: and it looks like it may be a video that

628
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: is being shot from a home in the community. You

629
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 2: can see and I'm trying to slow it down. I'm

630
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 2: gonna share it with you as well.

631
00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 4: Buck.

632
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: You can see this guy being the car making contact

633
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 2: with him. And I am going to to share this

634
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: and I'll put it up on social media because I

635
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: understand all of you were describing what is taking place.

636
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: It's sometimes difficult for people to make determinations. This video

637
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 2: looks like the woman is clearly making contact with him

638
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:27,719
Speaker 2: in the vehicle. But here, look this is let me

639
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,200
Speaker 2: just tell you what is going on.

640
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: Oh you're talking about that additional angle. You can see

641
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: the officers clearly clearly hit hit by the car. Yes,

642
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: And and I'm gonna share this out. I just sent

643
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 1: it to our team. We can share it from the

644
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:45,200
Speaker 1: Clay and Buck account as well. Jacob Fray is clearly

645
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 1: looking for his George Floyd moment two point zero. He

646
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: wants to find a left wing rallying point that increases

647
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: his political standing, that he helps to distract from the

648
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: fact that we've got billions potentially of dollars in some

649
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: all of you fraud that distracts from the fact that

650
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: all of the Democrat leadership has allowed this to happen

651
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: and set around and watched it, and he wants to

652
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: make himself the chief antagonist for President Trump in the country.

653
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 4: And this is just so.

654
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 2: Nakedly politically motivated in my opinion. And again, this is

655
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: what Democrats have done and have been doing for a

656
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 2: large part of Trump two point zero and also during Biden.

657
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 2: They encourage violent behavior, right, I mean, think about what

658
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 2: the situation in play is here. Why is this woman

659
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 2: in her car trying to oppose ICE from doing their

660
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 2: job because she thinks that she is being a hero

661
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 2: because Democrats have told her that I this is acting

662
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 2: in an illegitimate fashion and she believes that she is

663
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 2: a hero by showing up and trying to create opposition.

664
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 2: This is very strange behavior, right, I mean that they

665
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 2: have encouraged. We've seen people throwing bricks at at ICE agents,

666
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 2: shooting at ICE agents. We have seen this behavior encouraged

667
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 2: again and again. And when he says, get the f out,

668
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 2: and when he says this is bs of self defense,

669
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 2: which this new video that I'm about to tweet out

670
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,920
Speaker 2: to me quite clearly makes it clear that he has

671
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 2: a self defense claim. I mean, if you get hit

672
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: by a car then and you decide to fire. I mean,

673
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 2: who is it among us that's going to say this

674
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,760
Speaker 2: guy was not in danger? But he says it's BS.

675
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 2: I talked to you off air, Buck. I think he's

676
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: going to try to charge this guy. They're going to

677
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 2: try to bring state local charges. Now that'll get complicated

678
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 2: because you've been doing research on because he's a federal agent,

679
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 2: and how does.

680
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 1: That imply in a community could get moved to federal court.

681
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't disagree with you. The political calculation

682
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: may well be bring the charge, even if you end

683
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 1: up losing in the end. Class that's because that's what

684
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna do, because because they they need, meaning the Democrats,

685
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: the left, they need something. They need emotion, They need

686
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: a narrative here. The Democrats are worthless and useless right

687
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: now on the national scene. Everybody knows it. The country

688
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: is not with them on immigration. So this is we've

689
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: said this all along. They're going to try to emotionalize this.

690
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: It's going to be, oh, they're grabbing these you know,

691
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: abuellas out of their homes and they're just grandmas and

692
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: all this stuff. We knew they were going to do

693
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: this all along, but this gives an incident that they're

694
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: going to try to make it a bigger issue. Let

695
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: me just say, Clay, if there wasn't video of this,

696
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: we mean you would perhaps see riots in downtown Minneapolis.

697
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: You might still hopefully not, but the video is pretty clear.

698
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: So you'd have to be somebody who does not understand

699
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: the basics of the law and self defense to think

700
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 1: that this is a situation, or an ice officer. You

701
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: are under no obligation, as a federal or any law

702
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: enforcement officer for that matter, or any person to have

703
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: somebody else run you over and crush you in their suv.

704
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 1: You under no obligation, no matter how much they scream

705
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: about it's gestapo, it's gestapo. No, you don't have to

706
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 1: get crushed and killed because somebody thinks that they've watched

707
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: too much ms NOW and that the and that immigration

708
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: officers are actually the Nazis. You're under no obligation, no

709
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 1: matter how many times they say otherwise. So I think

710
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:32,439
Speaker 1: that this this this could grow very rapidly here into

711
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 1: battling narratives. Fortunately there is video, but it also just

712
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: reminds everybody the Democrat Party does not believe in the

713
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: rule of law. They do not believe that immigration law

714
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: should be enforced. Because if the law is not something

715
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: that is enforced, it doesn't exist, it doesn't count. And

716
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: we've dealt with far too for far too long. This

717
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: country has had millions of people who are here illegally,

718
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: and the Democrats have told them it's fine, don't worry. Eventually,

719
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,800
Speaker 1: we'll reward you for breaking the law, not on Trump's watch.

720
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: Look, I just shared the video, and I mean, I

721
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 2: don't know that we've ever we played you the cuts

722
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,879
Speaker 2: because I think it's important for you to hear. There

723
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 2: now is more and more confrontation growing in Minneapolis. They're

724
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 2: alive on Fox News. There are mobs growing surrounding this

725
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: area of where the shooting happened. What Jacob Fry did

726
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: was the mayor of Minneapolis when he said get the

727
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: f out, and when he called his self defense claim

728
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 2: BS and he used cursing we can't because we have

729
00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:46,000
Speaker 2: FCC restrictions. He's clearly trying to incentivize further violent acts,

730
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 2: which benefits him politically and is destructive to the overall

731
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: city of Minneapolis. Look, I mean, fuck, we haven't talked

732
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 2: about it.

733
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:54,959
Speaker 4: A great deal.

734
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 2: But Minneapolis, the number of murders that occurred in Minneapolis

735
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 2: guy rocketed. They can't get police hired there because the

736
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 2: police officers know that the politicians don't have their back,

737
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 2: and they all know that if they have to make

738
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 2: a life or death, a life or death decision, that

739
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 2: they are going to turn their back on them and

740
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,320
Speaker 2: charge them with a crime. And I'm just predicting exactly

741
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: where this is going to go. Prosecutors locally under state

742
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 2: law are going to charge this ICE agent with a crime.

743
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you it's going to happen. Buck has

744
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 2: already been looking up the federal defenses. But I'm telling

745
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 2: you politically, it's advantageous even if these charges get tossed.

746
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 2: The mayor of Minneapolis says, I stood up to Trump.

747
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 2: I stood up to Ice. They are evil, they don't

748
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: belong in this community. I'm telling you exactly what's coming.

749
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:52,400
Speaker 4: This is going to be.

750
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: They're going to charge this guy, and it's going to

751
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: turn into a huge illegal dispute and it's not going

752
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 2: to matter that I think based on the evidence here,

753
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 2: it's clearly and by the way, and I would say

754
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 2: this for everybody when you are a political leader in

755
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: a community. You are prejudicing any defendant when you say

756
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 2: that their legal claim is BS, because the jurors all

757
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 2: hear this. So you are destroying the right of an

758
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 2: individual to get a fair trial.

759
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: But what you'll have is some you know, communist Democrat

760
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 1: cat lady judge who if this does go before her,

761
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: will refuse to allow for a change of venue. I'm

762
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: sure they'll fight inherently there is a right for a

763
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,280
Speaker 1: federal officer, in the course of his duties, to request

764
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: a transfer to federal court from a state or local court.

765
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure that they will fight that as well, because

766
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: unfortunately Minnesota has been turned into a blue enclave of madness.

767
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:57,160
Speaker 1: So we shall see how this plays out. But the

768
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: person clearly is told, look, this really isn't that hard.

769
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: A lot of it has been pulled over, and we

770
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: understand that it can be stressful and whatever. She was

771
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 1: surrounded by cops and hit the accelerator with a cop

772
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: in front of her car, and the car runs into

773
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 1: the cop. Now you can say, oh, well, maybe he

774
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: could have dove out of the way or something. Yeah,

775
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 1: and then maybe she could have you know, swerve left

776
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: and run him over. And broken his spine. I mean,

777
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,280
Speaker 1: what is our expectation of law enforcement in this situation?

778
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: Somebody can use their car as a weapon against you.

779
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: How about don't be there. I mean, this is what

780
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 2: you should be saying. If you are a rational, reasonable

781
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 2: political leader in America today, you should be saying, if

782
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,879
Speaker 2: you see an ice enforcement act, don't drive your car

783
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: there and try to stop it from happening. I mean,

784
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 2: in the same way that you wouldn't show up if

785
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 2: you saw a police action in your neighborhood. You wouldn't

786
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,319
Speaker 2: drive your car there and try to impinge or infringe

787
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 2: upon the ability of the officers to do their job.

788
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 2: And I think, unfortunately, you're gonna have to see I

789
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 2: hate this buck, but I think we may have to

790
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,280
Speaker 2: seen National Guard called in because this crowd is continuing

791
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 2: to grow. We've already seen the precedent of what happens

792
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: in Minneapolis when they allow this stuff to happen. Maybe

793
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 2: a benefit, sadly, is that it's so cold right now

794
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: that unlike when this happened in May, maybe people won't

795
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 2: want to go outside, maybe they won't show up in

796
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 2: protest at the same levels. But that's my concern, is

797
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 2: that this is going to grow and be antagonized and

798
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 2: accelerated by the behavior of this mayor much less serious. Look,

799
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,040

Speaker 1: Welcome back into Clay and Talk. We have Senator Marsha

818
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 1: Blackburn with us now. Senator Blackburn, so much to talk

819
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,879
Speaker 1: to you about. Thanks for making the time for us.

820
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: Wanted you to please just first way in, I'm sure

821
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,279
Speaker 1: you're tracking closely events in Minneapolis. We've already got Secretary

822
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: Nome weighing in on this one publicly, the mayor of Minneapolis,

823
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: the governor of Minnesota taking a very in opposition view

824
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: of these events. To what Secretary Nome said, what do

825
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: you make of what's going on?

826
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 6: And what we know so far is that the officers

827
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 6: were going through what was a targeted operation, and of

828
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 6: course rioters came onto this scene. They were trying to

829
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 6: block the ice officers, and one of the rioters decided

830
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 6: to weaponize our vehicle and attempted to actually run over

831
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 6: the officers in an attempt to kill them. This is

832
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 6: an act of domestic terrorism. And so the officer, who

833
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 6: felt his life in those of his fellow law enforcement

834
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:43,480
Speaker 6: officers was in jeopardy, fired some defensive shots and the

835
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 6: individual is that perpetrator was hit and that they are deceased.

836
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 6: And that really is what we know at this point.

837
00:46:54,440 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 6: But like you we have seen that the mayor is

838
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:06,760
Speaker 6: is really quite upset, and everyone mourns the loss of life.

839
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:12,520
Speaker 6: And we also are quite concerned about our federal law

840
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 6: enforcement officers. The attacks on law enforcement officers are up

841
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 6: over thirteen hundred percent. The death threats that are coming

842
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 6: to our federal law enforcement officers are up eight thousand percent.

843
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 6: So everyone is quite concerned about the safety of our

844
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 6: men and women in uniform and want to make certain

845
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 6: that their lives are protected as they are carrying out

846
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 6: and executing the rule of law.

847
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,440
Speaker 4: You've seen and thanks for coming on with a senator.

848
00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: We just had a race in the seventh congressional district

849
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 2: state of Tennessee here where aften who was the nominee

850
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 2: had posted videos of herself chasing ICE agents and trying

851
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: to harass them as they were doing their job in Nashville.

852
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:15,080
Speaker 2: This has become an orthodoxy of the left in this country,

853
00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 2: this idea that you have an obligation and or you

854
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 2: should be encouraged to show up and try to keep

855
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 2: ICE agents from doing their job. Isn't this a natural

856
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 2: outgrowth of this, because why in the world was this

857
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 2: woman there, Why was she in any way trying to

858
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: interfere with an ICE raid that was going on in Minneapolis.

859
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: Democrats have incentivized their crazy base to engage in behavior

860
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 2: like this, which makes everybody in a more dangerous situation

861
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,600
Speaker 2: and ultimately, I think led directly to this shooting today.

862
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 6: Well, and think about it like this, is these big

863
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:51,919
Speaker 6: blue cities in big blue states where you have these

864
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 6: sanctuary cities. If they would cooperate with our federal law

865
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 6: enforcement and with ICE and allow them to apprehend these

866
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 6: individuals in jails when they are in custody, then you

867
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:14,920
Speaker 6: would remove that type danger. But instead of cooperating and

868
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 6: saying we will help you apprehend criminals and people that

869
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 6: may be at danger to the community, people that have

870
00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 6: broken the law, people that are committing fraud against the

871
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,880
Speaker 6: United States of America, people that are committing fraud against

872
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 6: the US taxpayer. That is what they should be doing,

873
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 6: but they are trying to circumvent the rule of law.

874
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 6: And since they are doing that, it creates an unsafe

875
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 6: situation in the public space.

876
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: We're speaking Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee. What about the

877
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: I should say it's early here, but Clay his first

878
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: reaction was, oh, they may try to prosecute him. Tim Walls,

879
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: the Governor of Minnesota, saying that there'll be accountability jumping

880
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: in on this as though we need to hear from

881
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 1: him on the matter. How do you think the administration

882
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: would respond to that? If a federal officer is considered

883
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: to have acted entirely lawfully within the scope of his

884
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: duties enforcing immigration law, but the state of Minnesota perhaps

885
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: would bring charges regardless.

886
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 6: And my expectation is as that DHS in the administration

887
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:32,319
Speaker 6: would fully support the officer who was abiding by the

888
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 6: law and enforcing the rule of law.

889
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,240
Speaker 4: I think that's right now.

890
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: The problem is politically, I think the mayor of Minneapolis

891
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 2: and the governor of Minnesota both may decide, even if

892
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:46,520
Speaker 2: they're on the wrong side of the law, that they

893
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:48,839
Speaker 2: benefit politically and that they're going to try to bring

894
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 2: charges under state issues relating to this and argue that

895
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 2: he was not engaging in his behavior within the scope

896
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,480
Speaker 2: of the law. That's my warwyor take on this and

897
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 2: also analyzing the politics of it.

898
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 4: Let's go.

899
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 2: I know this is a crazy news story and we've

900
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:06,680
Speaker 2: been following this, but there are a lot of other

901
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 2: things that are going on. What is your reaction to

902
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,440
Speaker 2: to what we've seen with Venezuela. Also all of the

903
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:20,399
Speaker 2: discussions surrounding Greenland and beyond as we have started off

904
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,319
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six.

905
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 6: Yes, and when it comes to Venezuela and talking to Tennesseeans,

906
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 6: I've got to tell you so many people are thank

907
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 6: goodness they apprehended Maduro and his wife. Thank goodness. They

908
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 6: are going after these drug kingpins, and Maduro is basically

909
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,840
Speaker 6: the head of the cartel. And they have put a

910
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:45,840
Speaker 6: lot of energy into how they were structuring these drug

911
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 6: trafficking rings and of course benefiting financially from these rings.

912
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 6: And these are people that had indictments that had been

913
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:58,960
Speaker 6: placed against them. It is appropriate to bring them in

914
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 6: to get them into court, to have them face justice.

915
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 6: And it was a coordinated effort. We had a great

916
00:52:05,360 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 6: classified briefing on it this morning. It was very helpful.

917
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 6: We know that the intention of the president is to

918
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 6: make certain that the country is stabilized, and we know

919
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 6: that they are wanting to get on the road to recovery.

920
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 6: They have asked the US to buy this thirty to

921
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 6: fifty million barrels of oil that they have that they're

922
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 6: wanting to sell on the market. The understanding is the

923
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:38,319
Speaker 6: US will accept that and we'll sell it and we'll

924
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 6: put it into an account to make certain that Venezuela

925
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 6: has the money to pay for basic services that are

926
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 6: needed there in the country. We know it's going to

927
00:52:54,400 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 6: be important for them to transition to elections, and the

928
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,359
Speaker 6: sooner they can do that, I think the better. And

929
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 6: I have found it so interesting people with tithes to

930
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 6: Venezuela and relatives that are there, they are all thrilled

931
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 6: that Maduro has been removed from the country. When it

932
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 6: comes to Greenland, I know that the President would like

933
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 6: to get Greenland to the table. And you know, one

934
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 6: of the things to bear in mind, there is a

935
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 6: movement in the country. It's a small country. I think

936
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 6: it's fifty five thousand people that actually live there, and

937
00:53:35,760 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 6: there is an independence movement wanting to separate themselves from Denmark.

938
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 6: The US already has a military presence there. It is

939
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 6: important to note that and to note that Russia and

940
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 6: China have been aggressive in that area. When you talk

941
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:59,600
Speaker 6: about military it is strategically important the operations that we

942
00:53:59,760 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 6: have in Greenland. When you look at how we protect

943
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:11,720
Speaker 6: ourselves against Russia. Its location between their their proximity with Europe,

944
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 6: and yes, I would think that the President is looking

945
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 6: to get Greenland to the table to talk about how

946
00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 6: we are able to expand our cooperation there.

947
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: What do you think about Cuba, Senator Blackburn, because there's

948
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: obviously a go ahead.

949
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 8: Yeah.

950
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 6: I've heard from some of our Tennesseeans who are of

951
00:54:36,400 --> 00:54:42,240
Speaker 6: Cuban descent and have relatives that are in Florida, of course,

952
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 6: and it appears that there is a growing push in

953
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 6: Cuba to push to move aside from the castro era

954
00:54:56,360 --> 00:55:01,719
Speaker 6: and to move more toward a democrat footprint. I think

955
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 6: some of the younger Cubans there, it is what you're seeing,

956
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 6: just like in Iran. It is the younger Iranians that

957
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 6: are pushing for for freedom, is of what we are hearing.

958
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,359
Speaker 6: But in Cuba, yes, Cuba was largely dependent on what

959
00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:26,480
Speaker 6: they were able to get from Venezuela and also from China.

960
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 6: And of course if China is not going to be

961
00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 6: able to take that oil from Venezuela and you have

962
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:39,359
Speaker 6: that quarantine they are around Venezuela, so those ships are

963
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 6: not going to be able to come out. There were

964
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 6: two more that they boarded that the US boarded today

965
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 6: and those shipments are not going out, then China is

966
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,920
Speaker 6: not going to have that as a market. Cuba is

967
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 6: not going to be able to rely on Venezuela to

968
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:06,800
Speaker 6: prop them up economically and also with the financial market

969
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:07,680
Speaker 6: that they need.

970
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 2: We're talking to Senator Marshall Blackburn of Tennessee running for

971
00:56:11,160 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 2: governor as well. Big story that I don't think is

972
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,920
Speaker 2: getting enough attention. It's very positive. One twenty twenty five,

973
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: overall violent crime rates across the country have plummeted, the

974
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 2: biggest drop maybe that we've ever seen on a percentage

975
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:30,640
Speaker 2: basis when it comes to murders. For instance, Memphis is

976
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 2: a big part of that success story. What is the

977
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 2: data telling us and showing us on Memphis as federal

978
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 2: resources have been served in a city that at times

979
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 2: had the highest per capita murder rate in the country.

980
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,160
Speaker 6: Yes, and today marks the day one hundred of the

981
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 6: presence in Memphis of the federal law enforcement organizations in

982
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 6: the State Highway Patrol and TBI, and we are coming

983
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 6: up on five thousand arrest. Many of these are violent

984
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 6: repeat offenders, murderers, rapists, aggravated assault, child molestation, robbery, and

985
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 6: they've recovered over eight hundred guns that were illegal firearms

986
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 6: that were on the streets, you know, and getting these

987
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 6: gang leaders. We're at like six hundred gang leaders that

988
00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 6: were there in Memphis getting them out of there. And

989
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 6: these are violent gangs MS thirteen, Trende, ar Agua and

990
00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 6: other gangs that have had a presence there in Memphis.

991
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 6: And it just shows you when you've got a mayor,

992
00:57:38,800 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 6: you've got a police chief. They are working with the

993
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 6: twenty plus federal agencies that are there. They have cut

994
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 6: the crime rate in Memphis in half. In one hundred days.

995
00:57:53,040 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 6: The crime rate is down fifty percent. So it shows

996
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 6: you what can be accomplished when the community and the

997
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 6: leadership in that city come together and say we're going

998
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 6: to get in behind this. And people are being apprehended,

999
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 6: they are jailed, they are their cases are being prepared.

1000
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 6: We've got Mike Donovan, the US attorney there, who is

1001
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 6: doing a spectacular job. The DOJ has surged some attorneys.

1002
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 6: Ice has attorneys that are there and they're helping to

1003
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 6: prep those cases so that we can get these cases

1004
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,960
Speaker 6: into court and get them tried, and people that are

1005
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 6: found guilty, we can get them off the streets locked up.

1006
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: Senator Blackburn always appreciates you. Thanks for making the time today.

1007
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 1: You got it.

1008
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:48,439
Speaker 6: Take care by now.

1009
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:54,400

1010
