According to a new report, the 5 00:00:25,497 --> 00:00:29,097 Speaker 1: Seattle Police Department's sexual assault and Child abuse unit staff 6 00:00:29,457 --> 00:00:32,177 Speaker 1: has been so depleted that it was forced to stop 7 00:00:32,217 --> 00:00:35,697 Speaker 1: assigning detectives to new adult sexual assault cases this year. 8 00:00:36,337 --> 00:00:38,737 Speaker 1: For our ladies, we can't investigate rape anymore. The Seattle 9 00:00:38,737 --> 00:00:42,777 Speaker 1: Police departments saying, because you know, social justice and cops 10 00:00:42,777 --> 00:00:45,377 Speaker 1: don't want to work here, what we'll get into this 11 00:00:45,497 --> 00:00:47,937 Speaker 1: crisis in Seattle that's playing out a lot of other 12 00:00:47,937 --> 00:00:57,257 Speaker 1: cities too. In tonight's holding line, welcome to hold the line. 13 00:00:57,297 --> 00:01:01,297 Speaker 1: I'm Buck Sexton. The Seattle Police Department has some serious 14 00:01:01,337 --> 00:01:05,097 Speaker 1: staffing issues and this has led to a report in 15 00:01:05,137 --> 00:01:09,857 Speaker 1: the Seattle Times that they can't even assign investigators in 16 00:01:09,937 --> 00:01:13,897 Speaker 1: a timely fashion to deal with new sexual assault and 17 00:01:14,457 --> 00:01:17,777 Speaker 1: rape claims. This is from a Seattle Police Department staffing 18 00:01:17,777 --> 00:01:21,217 Speaker 1: issues memo that was published in part in the Seattle Times. 19 00:01:21,217 --> 00:01:24,777 Speaker 1: In the memo, she said, meaning a senior member of 20 00:01:24,897 --> 00:01:28,937 Speaker 1: police department was not able to assign adult sexual assault 21 00:01:28,977 --> 00:01:33,497 Speaker 1: cases that came into her unit, cases involving children and 22 00:01:33,617 --> 00:01:37,497 Speaker 1: adult cases that had a suspect and custody. A fraction 23 00:01:37,617 --> 00:01:41,137 Speaker 1: of adult sexual assaults reported to police were being prioritized. 24 00:01:41,497 --> 00:01:46,137 Speaker 1: The unit just had too few detectives, not enough detectives 25 00:01:46,697 --> 00:01:49,337 Speaker 1: in order to figure out or rather in order to 26 00:01:50,417 --> 00:01:53,337 Speaker 1: tackle the problems of crime in that city, which, of course, 27 00:01:53,337 --> 00:01:55,777 Speaker 1: I've gotten worse than Seattle the last two years, just 28 00:01:55,817 --> 00:01:58,257 Speaker 1: like everywhere else, Just like Seattle, I'm sorry, Just like 29 00:01:58,297 --> 00:02:02,017 Speaker 1: New York, of course, and Houston and Chicago and Saint 30 00:02:02,097 --> 00:02:06,897 Speaker 1: Louis and Phoenix and Atlanta and Detroit and name a city. 31 00:02:06,977 --> 00:02:09,897 Speaker 1: Why is it all getting to be so much worse? 32 00:02:10,137 --> 00:02:13,577 Speaker 1: Twenty thirty percent increases in overall crime, some cases forty 33 00:02:13,657 --> 00:02:16,617 Speaker 1: or fifty percent increases over a two year period. What 34 00:02:16,657 --> 00:02:20,537 Speaker 1: the heck is going on? Well in Seattle, we can 35 00:02:20,577 --> 00:02:24,817 Speaker 1: trace it back pretty closely to twenty twenty. Here was 36 00:02:24,897 --> 00:02:30,017 Speaker 1: Seattle City Council President Lorraina. Gonzales during an interview, talking 37 00:02:30,057 --> 00:02:33,897 Speaker 1: about defunding the police watch. What did end up getting 38 00:02:33,897 --> 00:02:37,257 Speaker 1: cut from the budget? What we ended up looking at 39 00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:41,377 Speaker 1: as a strategy is, first and foremost, how can we 40 00:02:41,417 --> 00:02:44,657 Speaker 1: prevent the police department from continuing to grow. We reduce 41 00:02:44,737 --> 00:02:48,017 Speaker 1: their hiring budget by about six point one million dollars 42 00:02:48,057 --> 00:02:51,897 Speaker 1: in the form of transferring divisions out of the police 43 00:02:51,897 --> 00:02:56,857 Speaker 1: department to make them a true civilian functions. So it's 44 00:02:56,857 --> 00:03:01,257 Speaker 1: a combination of cuts and transfers that led to a 45 00:03:01,297 --> 00:03:05,017 Speaker 1: twenty percent reduction of the police department's budget. A twenty 46 00:03:05,057 --> 00:03:07,817 Speaker 1: percent reduction of the police department's budget, we'll guess whatever. 47 00:03:07,857 --> 00:03:10,577 Speaker 1: The last two years, a city of Chicago has seen 48 00:03:10,577 --> 00:03:14,457 Speaker 1: a twenty five percent drop in the number of officers. 49 00:03:14,897 --> 00:03:17,457 Speaker 1: And when you have a twenty five percent drop in 50 00:03:17,497 --> 00:03:19,617 Speaker 1: the number of cops you have in a city of 51 00:03:19,697 --> 00:03:23,257 Speaker 1: over a million people, You've got a problem on your hands, 52 00:03:23,337 --> 00:03:27,097 Speaker 1: don't you. And that's exactly what we're seeing now. Wasn't 53 00:03:27,097 --> 00:03:29,897 Speaker 1: this the most predictable, most obvious thing anybody could have 54 00:03:29,937 --> 00:03:33,937 Speaker 1: ever imagined? You slash the number of We're not talking 55 00:03:33,977 --> 00:03:37,897 Speaker 1: about changing police training or looking at you know, whether 56 00:03:37,897 --> 00:03:41,497 Speaker 1: they're using a band, chokehold or whatever these whatever latest 57 00:03:41,497 --> 00:03:43,057 Speaker 1: issue is the moment we're talking about. You're saying no, 58 00:03:43,097 --> 00:03:46,097 Speaker 1: you're gonna have twenty five percent, thirty percent fewer cops total. 59 00:03:47,057 --> 00:03:50,257 Speaker 1: That's going to make people safer as crime was already rising. 60 00:03:50,777 --> 00:03:54,057 Speaker 1: Does any intelligent person believe that, Well, here's a flashback. 61 00:03:54,137 --> 00:03:57,297 Speaker 1: That's a city Council President Lorna Gonzalez of Seattle was asked, 62 00:03:57,577 --> 00:04:01,537 Speaker 1: we'll defunding police harm public safety watch. Is there a 63 00:04:01,617 --> 00:04:04,737 Speaker 1: danger of defunding the police before these other programs that 64 00:04:04,777 --> 00:04:08,217 Speaker 1: are supposed to fill that gap, before they're built up fully. 65 00:04:09,337 --> 00:04:11,897 Speaker 1: Is there as a public safety I mean, the crime 66 00:04:12,017 --> 00:04:13,657 Speaker 1: is going up in the city, right, It's important for 67 00:04:13,737 --> 00:04:15,857 Speaker 1: us to remember that we are dealing with all of 68 00:04:15,897 --> 00:04:22,057 Speaker 1: this amidst a global pandemic that has created mass, historic 69 00:04:22,137 --> 00:04:26,617 Speaker 1: levels of unemployment and has increased poverty for many people, 70 00:04:27,817 --> 00:04:30,897 Speaker 1: and so I think that that oftentimes results in an 71 00:04:30,897 --> 00:04:33,697 Speaker 1: increase in crime because people are trying to survive. I 72 00:04:33,737 --> 00:04:35,777 Speaker 1: want to be mindful of that, but I also want 73 00:04:35,817 --> 00:04:38,137 Speaker 1: to be mindful of the fact that there are victims 74 00:04:38,257 --> 00:04:42,497 Speaker 1: to serious crimes in our city, and as a city, 75 00:04:42,537 --> 00:04:45,737 Speaker 1: we have a responsibility to make sure that if they 76 00:04:45,737 --> 00:04:51,537 Speaker 1: are in crisis, they have an appropriate response to that crisis. Yeah, 77 00:04:51,577 --> 00:04:55,017 Speaker 1: the pandemic was causing the rise in crime. The pandemic 78 00:04:55,017 --> 00:04:57,937 Speaker 1: would be responsible, they said, No, not true. Data doesn't 79 00:04:57,937 --> 00:05:00,177 Speaker 1: support it. Not the case and the fact is we've 80 00:05:00,617 --> 00:05:04,377 Speaker 1: left the pandemic mostly in the rear view mirror. Crime 81 00:05:04,417 --> 00:05:06,577 Speaker 1: has continue to go up in cities all across the country. 82 00:05:06,857 --> 00:05:10,417 Speaker 1: What the heck is going on? Well, we know, course, 83 00:05:11,097 --> 00:05:14,537 Speaker 1: the left, the Democrats, decided that the demands of social justice, 84 00:05:14,577 --> 00:05:16,737 Speaker 1: the demands of racial justice, meant that we must have 85 00:05:16,857 --> 00:05:20,737 Speaker 1: fewer police, and we must decide that the police cannot 86 00:05:20,777 --> 00:05:24,617 Speaker 1: be trusted. They should have smaller budgets, fewer people on 87 00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:26,897 Speaker 1: the streets to try to serve and protect in the 88 00:05:26,937 --> 00:05:31,697 Speaker 1: first place, because you know, racism, systemic racism, whatever, social justice. 89 00:05:31,737 --> 00:05:35,417 Speaker 1: They just came up with something and the results are 90 00:05:35,457 --> 00:05:38,537 Speaker 1: now apparent for all to see. Police say that in 91 00:05:38,577 --> 00:05:40,977 Speaker 1: Seattle they saw major increases in crime in twenty twenty 92 00:05:41,017 --> 00:05:44,297 Speaker 1: one Verses twenty twenty overall increase in crime by ten percent, 93 00:05:44,417 --> 00:05:48,057 Speaker 1: violent crime increased by twenty percent, property crime increased by 94 00:05:48,497 --> 00:05:53,697 Speaker 1: nine percent. This got worse, right, And actually, when you 95 00:05:53,737 --> 00:05:57,657 Speaker 1: look at the overall number of thefts in Seattle, it's 96 00:05:57,657 --> 00:06:04,017 Speaker 1: a city that is plagued with assaults and smaller scale thefts, 97 00:06:04,337 --> 00:06:07,017 Speaker 1: petty larceny all over the place, to the point where 98 00:06:07,417 --> 00:06:10,177 Speaker 1: major national retail change. I just said, we're leaving. They 99 00:06:10,297 --> 00:06:13,257 Speaker 1: just said we're out, We're not doing this anymore. So 100 00:06:14,097 --> 00:06:16,097 Speaker 1: this is playing out in cities all across the country. 101 00:06:16,097 --> 00:06:19,097 Speaker 1: New York City is among them. What is Mayor Eric Adams, 102 00:06:19,097 --> 00:06:20,657 Speaker 1: the new mayor as at the beginning of this year, 103 00:06:20,697 --> 00:06:23,977 Speaker 1: What does he say about this? Well, he's decided to 104 00:06:23,977 --> 00:06:28,097 Speaker 1: go with a gun violence czar to tackle the scourge 105 00:06:28,177 --> 00:06:31,577 Speaker 1: of shootings here in the big appol And everyone's expecting 106 00:06:31,577 --> 00:06:35,137 Speaker 1: this is going to get just worse as the summer approaches. 107 00:06:35,217 --> 00:06:38,977 Speaker 1: The summer heat just tends to coincide with more people outside, 108 00:06:39,017 --> 00:06:43,657 Speaker 1: more people interacting, more shootings happening. Adams has tapped Andre Mitchell, 109 00:06:44,177 --> 00:06:47,697 Speaker 1: the founder of a Brooklyn anti violence group called Man Up, 110 00:06:47,977 --> 00:06:50,777 Speaker 1: which has previously come under scrutiny from city investigators, for 111 00:06:50,817 --> 00:06:55,937 Speaker 1: the role. And this is the fundamental philosophical disconnect right 112 00:06:55,977 --> 00:06:59,257 Speaker 1: now between Democrats who have gotten all of this wrong 113 00:06:59,337 --> 00:07:01,177 Speaker 1: up to this point, but realize they've got a political 114 00:07:01,217 --> 00:07:03,257 Speaker 1: liability on their hands now when it comes to violence 115 00:07:03,697 --> 00:07:08,217 Speaker 1: and Republicans, Conservatives, same people, rational people, reasonable people, independence, 116 00:07:08,257 --> 00:07:10,777 Speaker 1: you name it, who are saying, you really just need 117 00:07:10,817 --> 00:07:12,937 Speaker 1: to lock up the criminals. Actually it's what needs to happen. 118 00:07:12,937 --> 00:07:16,177 Speaker 1: But no. Eric Adams believes the gun is the problem. 119 00:07:16,177 --> 00:07:20,097 Speaker 1: The inanimate object. Watch. It's clear. The number one killer 120 00:07:20,217 --> 00:07:26,137 Speaker 1: of young people are the guns. It's clear. And we 121 00:07:26,177 --> 00:07:31,777 Speaker 1: have basically normalized of young people dying from gun violence. 122 00:07:31,817 --> 00:07:34,537 Speaker 1: And it's unfortunate that many of these killings are taking 123 00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:38,577 Speaker 1: place and poor black and brown communities, and we have 124 00:07:38,737 --> 00:07:43,777 Speaker 1: not considered this to crises that it is. It is 125 00:07:43,817 --> 00:07:48,377 Speaker 1: not the guns that is killing people. It is killers 126 00:07:48,457 --> 00:07:51,897 Speaker 1: who are killing people who need to be locked up. 127 00:07:52,137 --> 00:07:56,297 Speaker 1: Democrats keep pretending that we don't all see this for 128 00:07:56,417 --> 00:07:58,577 Speaker 1: what it is, at least those of us who have 129 00:07:58,657 --> 00:08:01,217 Speaker 1: our eyes open and can come to conclusions about what 130 00:08:01,337 --> 00:08:04,857 Speaker 1: is obvious. Or As crime continues to plague major cities, 131 00:08:04,857 --> 00:08:07,657 Speaker 1: federal lawmakers are drawing up plans to introduce new red 132 00:08:07,697 --> 00:08:11,337 Speaker 1: flag laws, which would allow law enforcement to seize the 133 00:08:11,337 --> 00:08:13,777 Speaker 1: firearms if anyone accord finds as a data to themselves 134 00:08:13,817 --> 00:08:16,377 Speaker 1: or others.

According to report from CBS News, 182 00:10:55,377 --> 00:10:58,377 Speaker 1: the bipartisan effort is being led by Republican Senator Lindsey 183 00:10:58,417 --> 00:11:03,417 Speaker 1: Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Senator Dick Blumenthal of Connecticut. 184 00:11:03,657 --> 00:11:06,097 Speaker 1: The report ads that the two are quote working on 185 00:11:06,177 --> 00:11:10,657 Speaker 1: provisions that would be acceptable to both parties, particularly when 186 00:11:10,657 --> 00:11:12,897 Speaker 1: it comes to the timeline between a court order prompted 187 00:11:12,937 --> 00:11:16,057 Speaker 1: by evidence of extreme risk and a hearing on this. 188 00:11:16,217 --> 00:11:19,217 Speaker 1: Let me bring in the editor of bearing arms dot Com, 189 00:11:19,417 --> 00:11:22,657 Speaker 1: our friend Cam Edwards. Cam, good to see you, Hey, Bud, 190 00:11:22,657 --> 00:11:25,057 Speaker 1: Good to see you, sir. So what do we all 191 00:11:25,097 --> 00:11:29,817 Speaker 1: need to know about this supposed bipartisan effort to pass 192 00:11:30,497 --> 00:11:34,377 Speaker 1: red flag laws? Well, I think the first thing that 193 00:11:34,537 --> 00:11:37,097 Speaker 1: we need to be concerned about. You know, Listen, while 194 00:11:37,137 --> 00:11:39,937 Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal at 195 00:11:40,017 --> 00:11:42,137 Speaker 1: least pay lip service to some of the concerns about 196 00:11:42,137 --> 00:11:45,097 Speaker 1: gun owners, I don't believe that they're going to be 197 00:11:45,097 --> 00:11:48,977 Speaker 1: able to address all of the fundamental issues with these 198 00:11:49,017 --> 00:11:51,377 Speaker 1: red flag laws. For instance, they talk about, you know, 199 00:11:51,417 --> 00:11:53,497 Speaker 1: we want to make sure that there's not a lot 200 00:11:53,497 --> 00:11:56,977 Speaker 1: of time between you know, the order coming down and 201 00:11:57,017 --> 00:11:59,617 Speaker 1: these hearings. But what most people don't understand is that 202 00:11:59,617 --> 00:12:02,137 Speaker 1: there are generally two hearings that are held when a 203 00:12:02,177 --> 00:12:05,137 Speaker 1: red flag petition is put in place. The first is 204 00:12:05,177 --> 00:12:07,617 Speaker 1: generally an ex part hearing where the subject of that 205 00:12:07,657 --> 00:12:09,897 Speaker 1: petition is not even there. They may not even be 206 00:12:10,097 --> 00:12:12,577 Speaker 1: where that an order has been filed, so they don't 207 00:12:12,617 --> 00:12:15,737 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to defend themselves. Instead, it's typically a 208 00:12:15,777 --> 00:12:18,657 Speaker 1: prosecutor laying out one side of this case to a 209 00:12:18,777 --> 00:12:22,177 Speaker 1: judge who will decide whether or not there is a 210 00:12:22,497 --> 00:12:26,057 Speaker 1: determination of dangerousness, and then if that determination is made, 211 00:12:26,297 --> 00:12:30,217 Speaker 1: the guns are seized. And then sometime within let's say 212 00:12:30,257 --> 00:12:33,737 Speaker 1: ten days, two weeks, maybe thirty days, a second hearing 213 00:12:33,857 --> 00:12:37,017 Speaker 1: is held where the petitioner has the opportunity to prevent 214 00:12:37,177 --> 00:12:41,897 Speaker 1: to present their side of the story. Unfortunately, they're not 215 00:12:42,057 --> 00:12:45,217 Speaker 1: entitled to a quarter pointed attorney. This is a civil case. So, 216 00:12:45,257 --> 00:12:48,737 Speaker 1: for example, you know a public defender who would represent 217 00:12:48,737 --> 00:12:50,577 Speaker 1: you if you've been charged with a crime. They're not 218 00:12:50,617 --> 00:12:53,177 Speaker 1: available to you. If you can't afford an attorney, you're 219 00:12:53,177 --> 00:12:55,937 Speaker 1: going to be going up in court against a prosecutor 220 00:12:56,017 --> 00:12:59,777 Speaker 1: by yourself. I think there are legitimate concerns that these 221 00:12:59,817 --> 00:13:03,777 Speaker 1: ex part hearings ultimately result in a rubber stamping of 222 00:13:03,817 --> 00:13:07,337 Speaker 1: approval on the part of judges. But the biggest issue 223 00:13:07,417 --> 00:13:10,257 Speaker 1: beyond the constitutional and due process concerns that I have 224 00:13:10,337 --> 00:13:13,697 Speaker 1: buck is the fact that there is no mental health 225 00:13:13,737 --> 00:13:17,737 Speaker 1: component whatsoever to these red flag laws. You've got to 226 00:13:17,817 --> 00:13:21,137 Speaker 1: judge declaring that somebody is a danger to themselves or others, 227 00:13:21,417 --> 00:13:23,617 Speaker 1: so we got to take their guns away, and then 228 00:13:23,657 --> 00:13:25,817 Speaker 1: we're going to leave that dangerous person to do whatever 229 00:13:25,857 --> 00:13:28,737 Speaker 1: they want. Right, They're they're not going to be committed, 230 00:13:28,777 --> 00:13:31,897 Speaker 1: They're not even going to be helped getting counseling. They're 231 00:13:31,937 --> 00:13:35,057 Speaker 1: going to be allowed access to knives, to pills, to ropes, 232 00:13:35,177 --> 00:13:38,057 Speaker 1: gas car keys, whatever else they could use to harm 233 00:13:38,097 --> 00:13:41,217 Speaker 1: themselves or others. But as long as their guns are 234 00:13:41,257 --> 00:13:44,497 Speaker 1: taken away from the lawmaker's perspective, that red flag law 235 00:13:44,577 --> 00:13:50,897 Speaker 1: has worked. Has there been any previous data gathered on 236 00:13:50,977 --> 00:13:55,337 Speaker 1: red flag laws being successful? I mean, has it ever 237 00:13:55,497 --> 00:13:58,377 Speaker 1: prevented a mass shooting that I mean, obviously, if you 238 00:13:58,377 --> 00:14:00,537 Speaker 1: prevent the shooting didn't happen, so that's tougher. But you know, 239 00:14:01,657 --> 00:14:03,657 Speaker 1: what does the data tell us about where they've tried 240 00:14:03,737 --> 00:14:05,937 Speaker 1: this in the past. Has it led to a lot 241 00:14:05,977 --> 00:14:09,377 Speaker 1: of abuse within the system? Has it really not been 242 00:14:09,457 --> 00:14:13,017 Speaker 1: used very much? Do we know? You know, again, you 243 00:14:13,057 --> 00:14:14,937 Speaker 1: hit on a really good point. It is hard to 244 00:14:14,977 --> 00:14:17,417 Speaker 1: know the efficacy of these laws because how do you 245 00:14:17,537 --> 00:14:20,737 Speaker 1: prove that this is the reason why a shooting didn't 246 00:14:20,737 --> 00:14:24,857 Speaker 1: take place. One study that looked at Connecticut's law found 247 00:14:24,897 --> 00:14:28,977 Speaker 1: that for somewhere between for every ten and twenty red 248 00:14:29,017 --> 00:14:33,817 Speaker 1: flag law petitions in which guns were seized, one suicide 249 00:14:33,897 --> 00:14:38,017 Speaker 1: was prevented, which raises the question what happens in those 250 00:14:38,137 --> 00:14:42,337 Speaker 1: nine to nineteen other cases? Did a suicide take place 251 00:14:42,377 --> 00:14:45,777 Speaker 1: after a red flag petition was granted? Were these people 252 00:14:46,057 --> 00:14:49,097 Speaker 1: not dangerous and no danger to themselves? To begin with? 253 00:14:49,697 --> 00:14:52,457 Speaker 1: We can look at the overall suicide rates in states 254 00:14:52,497 --> 00:14:54,977 Speaker 1: like Indiana and Connecticut which have had red flag laws 255 00:14:54,977 --> 00:14:58,097 Speaker 1: on the books, and the overall suicide rates have continued 256 00:14:58,137 --> 00:15:02,257 Speaker 1: to increase even with these laws in place. So if 257 00:15:02,257 --> 00:15:05,137 Speaker 1: the Connecticut study, which I think is the study that 258 00:15:05,177 --> 00:15:08,537 Speaker 1: shows you know, the most effectiveness of these red flag 259 00:15:08,617 --> 00:15:11,177 Speaker 1: laws shows that maybe in five to ten percent of 260 00:15:11,217 --> 00:15:15,257 Speaker 1: these cases, a suicide is prevented. I would argue that 261 00:15:15,297 --> 00:15:18,297 Speaker 1: there are much more targeted approaches that have a much 262 00:15:18,377 --> 00:15:22,057 Speaker 1: better chance of success that don't involve putting new laws 263 00:15:22,097 --> 00:15:25,457 Speaker 1: on the books, that involve actually fixing a broken mental 264 00:15:25,497 --> 00:15:28,417 Speaker 1: health system, which we have in every state around the country, 265 00:15:28,777 --> 00:15:31,817 Speaker 1: as well as you know, volunteer grassroots efforts. There's a 266 00:15:31,817 --> 00:15:34,897 Speaker 1: great group out there called Walk the Talk America that 267 00:15:35,097 --> 00:15:38,897 Speaker 1: is designed specifically to talk two gun owners, get them 268 00:15:38,937 --> 00:15:42,497 Speaker 1: access to mental health treatments before there is a crisis. 269 00:15:42,737 --> 00:15:44,857 Speaker 1: And if we're able to think outside of the box, 270 00:15:44,897 --> 00:15:47,777 Speaker 1: I think and work on these types of things that 271 00:15:48,257 --> 00:15:50,657 Speaker 1: encourage people to get the help that they need, to 272 00:15:50,697 --> 00:15:53,457 Speaker 1: remove the stigma around mental health treatment. I think that's 273 00:15:53,457 --> 00:15:55,337 Speaker 1: going to be much more effective than simply trying to 274 00:15:55,337 --> 00:15:58,297 Speaker 1: take guns away from somebody who's supposedly dangerous and thinking 275 00:15:58,337 --> 00:16:02,857 Speaker 1: that solves the problem. In the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting, 276 00:16:02,937 --> 00:16:08,337 Speaker 1: cam there's been some discussion also about hardening schools, which 277 00:16:09,097 --> 00:16:12,457 Speaker 1: prominent of course in that and those processes would be 278 00:16:12,457 --> 00:16:16,297 Speaker 1: posting armed security. Here's what White House Press Secretary Karine 279 00:16:16,337 --> 00:16:19,417 Speaker 1: Jean Pierre said about these hardening of schools and the 280 00:16:19,497 --> 00:16:23,697 Speaker 1: Biden administration approach. Listen and when it comes to when 281 00:16:23,737 --> 00:16:26,177 Speaker 1: it comes to schools. And I don't know what he 282 00:16:26,217 --> 00:16:29,537 Speaker 1: said specifically about about schools. I know there's been a 283 00:16:29,577 --> 00:16:32,257 Speaker 1: conversation about hardening schools and is not something that he 284 00:16:32,337 --> 00:16:34,817 Speaker 1: believes in. He believes that we should be able to 285 00:16:35,457 --> 00:16:38,737 Speaker 1: give teachers the resources to be able to do the 286 00:16:38,897 --> 00:16:42,977 Speaker 1: job that they're meant to do at schools. Okay, that 287 00:16:43,337 --> 00:16:45,737 Speaker 1: wasn't even really much of an answer about anything. But 288 00:16:46,697 --> 00:16:51,177 Speaker 1: what do you think about teachers being able to conceal carry, 289 00:16:51,297 --> 00:16:54,097 Speaker 1: having armed resource officers? You know what, what do you 290 00:16:54,137 --> 00:16:55,897 Speaker 1: think him in the just in the broader sense, what 291 00:16:56,017 --> 00:16:58,697 Speaker 1: might actually help, what will make schools safer that isn't 292 00:16:59,297 --> 00:17:01,937 Speaker 1: just a thumb in the eye of lawful gun owners 293 00:17:01,977 --> 00:17:05,737 Speaker 1: from the left or some kind of panic maneuver pushed 294 00:17:05,737 --> 00:17:09,057 Speaker 1: by emotion through the media. What should we actually consider, 295 00:17:09,097 --> 00:17:12,817 Speaker 1: if anything? Yeah, well, first of all, I don't think 296 00:17:12,817 --> 00:17:16,057 Speaker 1: that there is a one size fits all solution. You know, 297 00:17:16,297 --> 00:17:19,897 Speaker 1: armed teachers I believe makes sense. There have been some 298 00:17:19,937 --> 00:17:22,977 Speaker 1: research conducted by the Homeland Security Institute at Perdue University, 299 00:17:23,777 --> 00:17:25,937 Speaker 1: and what their research showed was that actually the fastest 300 00:17:25,937 --> 00:17:27,897 Speaker 1: way to stop an active shooter in a school was 301 00:17:27,937 --> 00:17:30,977 Speaker 1: to have a school resource officer they're in the building 302 00:17:31,017 --> 00:17:34,737 Speaker 1: who could engage that attacker, while you also had armed 303 00:17:34,737 --> 00:17:37,337 Speaker 1: school staff who are able to shelter in place with students, 304 00:17:37,337 --> 00:17:39,657 Speaker 1: so that if that attacker breached the door, they would 305 00:17:39,697 --> 00:17:43,257 Speaker 1: be met with defensive gunfire. That to me seems like 306 00:17:43,297 --> 00:17:45,697 Speaker 1: a pretty reasonable step to take, but obviously there's going 307 00:17:45,737 --> 00:17:47,497 Speaker 1: to be some school districts that shy away from that. 308 00:17:48,017 --> 00:17:50,937 Speaker 1: I do believe that districts should have the power and 309 00:17:50,977 --> 00:17:54,137 Speaker 1: the authority to make those decisions for themselves, and we 310 00:17:54,217 --> 00:17:56,777 Speaker 1: see in Texas they do have the school Marshal program. 311 00:17:57,057 --> 00:18:00,057 Speaker 1: After Parkland, Florida put in place the school guardian program 312 00:18:00,097 --> 00:18:03,497 Speaker 1: that ensures that there is an armed individual on campus 313 00:18:03,537 --> 00:18:06,497 Speaker 1: to service that first line of defense. But we also 314 00:18:06,537 --> 00:18:08,457 Speaker 1: do need to be talking about simple things like making 315 00:18:08,497 --> 00:18:11,537 Speaker 1: sure that you know you can't get unsecured access to 316 00:18:11,577 --> 00:18:14,017 Speaker 1: a school. We need to make sure that there is 317 00:18:14,097 --> 00:18:17,337 Speaker 1: a quick point of exit if need be, as well 318 00:18:17,377 --> 00:18:21,457 Speaker 1: as perhaps again limiting those points of entry for strangers. 319 00:18:21,777 --> 00:18:24,097 Speaker 1: This is a decision, and these are talks said that 320 00:18:24,217 --> 00:18:26,937 Speaker 1: every school instaground the country is going to have to 321 00:18:26,977 --> 00:18:29,657 Speaker 1: have and the decisions that they come up with are 322 00:18:29,697 --> 00:18:31,937 Speaker 1: honestly the best decisions are going to have be made 323 00:18:31,937 --> 00:18:36,177 Speaker 1: on a school by school, campus by campus basis. Cam. 324 00:18:36,217 --> 00:18:38,457 Speaker 1: I always appreciate your perspective and expertise. Are good to 325 00:18:38,497 --> 00:18:42,817 Speaker 1: see you. Good to see you, Buck. Thanks a disappointing 326 00:18:42,857 --> 00:18:45,177 Speaker 1: conclusion to the trial of Michael Suston this week, as 327 00:18:45,217 --> 00:18:48,057 Speaker 1: the former Clinton attorney was acquitted of giving false statements 328 00:18:48,057 --> 00:18:51,457 Speaker 1: to the FBI in twenty sixteen. Former Defense Department official 329 00:18:51,497 --> 00:18:53,937 Speaker 1: Cash Patel gives his take on the verdict after the 330 00:18:53,937 --> 00:18:55,937 Speaker 1: break right now, I want to talk to you about 331 00:18:55,937 --> 00:18:58,337 Speaker 1: defending your home. I don't know if you saw this yesterday, 332 00:18:58,337 --> 00:19:00,657 Speaker 1: but there was a recent story about an Arizona real 333 00:19:00,777 --> 00:19:02,697 Speaker 1: estate agent that found the home she lived and was 334 00:19:02,697 --> 00:19:05,777 Speaker 1: listed for sale.

It 353 00:19:59,977 --> 00:20:02,657 Speaker 1: only took six hours of deliberation for the jury to 354 00:20:02,697 --> 00:20:06,417 Speaker 1: find former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman not guilty. 355 00:20:06,857 --> 00:20:09,457 Speaker 1: Sussman was brought up on charges by Special Counsel John 356 00:20:09,537 --> 00:20:12,377 Speaker 1: Durham or allegedly lying to the FBI in twenty sixteen 357 00:20:12,417 --> 00:20:15,937 Speaker 1: about the Clinton campaign's role in peddling the debunked Frump 358 00:20:16,097 --> 00:20:19,577 Speaker 1: Russia hoax. In a statement from the jury for woman 359 00:20:19,617 --> 00:20:22,657 Speaker 1: after the verdict, she shared the quote that personally, I 360 00:20:22,657 --> 00:20:25,297 Speaker 1: don't think they should have been prosecuted. The government could 361 00:20:25,337 --> 00:20:27,897 Speaker 1: have spent our time more wisely, everyone pretty much saw 362 00:20:27,937 --> 00:20:32,217 Speaker 1: it the same way. The crooked Hillary's squad once again 363 00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:35,937 Speaker 1: gets away with the foul play. Here to discuss former 364 00:20:35,937 --> 00:20:39,297 Speaker 1: Defense Department official for the Trump administration and a man 365 00:20:39,337 --> 00:20:41,657 Speaker 1: who backs down from none of the deep state, mister 366 00:20:41,777 --> 00:20:45,297 Speaker 1: Cash A tell Cash, good to see it, Aback, thanks 367 00:20:45,297 --> 00:20:48,657 Speaker 1: for having me. So what's your just top line reaction 368 00:20:48,737 --> 00:20:52,497 Speaker 1: to this Sussman trial, Because you know, the Libs didn't 369 00:20:52,497 --> 00:20:54,857 Speaker 1: talk about this trial. Really, they're like a a a 370 00:20:54,857 --> 00:20:58,217 Speaker 1: little quiet about it. And then all we saw was 371 00:20:58,217 --> 00:21:01,377 Speaker 1: a headline, you know, acquitted of the charges. What do 372 00:21:01,457 --> 00:21:04,057 Speaker 1: you make of this? Well, look, as the guy who 373 00:21:04,137 --> 00:21:06,937 Speaker 1: spent four years running the Russia game investigation and a 374 00:21:06,977 --> 00:21:10,017 Speaker 1: former federal prosecutor, you know, here's what the jury's about, 375 00:21:10,257 --> 00:21:12,257 Speaker 1: especially with that statement from the fourth person when they 376 00:21:12,257 --> 00:21:14,657 Speaker 1: say they deliberated for a few hours. They deliberated for 377 00:21:14,777 --> 00:21:17,777 Speaker 1: less than thirty minutes because they were busy ordering launch 378 00:21:17,817 --> 00:21:21,537 Speaker 1: and getting their schedules lined up, which means there was 379 00:21:21,577 --> 00:21:24,777 Speaker 1: no amount of evidence in the world, including a videotape 380 00:21:24,937 --> 00:21:28,417 Speaker 1: and sworn testimony under Earth that was in black and white, 381 00:21:28,457 --> 00:21:30,657 Speaker 1: that could have convinced this jury to follow the facts 382 00:21:30,777 --> 00:21:33,457 Speaker 1: and the law, which means the jury pool is completely 383 00:21:33,497 --> 00:21:37,257 Speaker 1: politicized in DC now. The reason the liberals weren't talking 384 00:21:37,297 --> 00:21:39,857 Speaker 1: about it was because of the damning evidence that was 385 00:21:39,937 --> 00:21:44,337 Speaker 1: forced out in the case. Namely, Hillary Clinton was basically 386 00:21:44,697 --> 00:21:47,257 Speaker 1: taken out by her own campaign manager, Robbie Mook when 387 00:21:47,257 --> 00:21:49,257 Speaker 1: he said under oath, she was in on it from 388 00:21:49,297 --> 00:21:51,857 Speaker 1: the jump, she orchestrated it, She's told us to do it, 389 00:21:51,897 --> 00:21:54,257 Speaker 1: and she sent us to the fbhind media with all 390 00:21:54,257 --> 00:21:57,817 Speaker 1: these lies from our political campaign operation on disinformation. So 391 00:21:58,337 --> 00:22:01,737 Speaker 1: that stuff's pretty or runaway from. To your point about 392 00:22:01,737 --> 00:22:05,257 Speaker 1: getting the information out there, former Attorney General Bill Barr 393 00:22:05,297 --> 00:22:08,177 Speaker 1: said that he's actually proud that Durham got some of 394 00:22:08,177 --> 00:22:11,577 Speaker 1: that info out there. Watched this one, proud of John Durham, 395 00:22:11,617 --> 00:22:14,977 Speaker 1: and I do take responsibility for his appointment, and I 396 00:22:15,017 --> 00:22:18,537 Speaker 1: think he and his team did an exceptionally able job 397 00:22:18,657 --> 00:22:23,057 Speaker 1: both digging out very important facts and presenting a compelling 398 00:22:23,137 --> 00:22:28,137 Speaker 1: case to the jury. He crystallized the central role played 399 00:22:28,137 --> 00:22:31,217 Speaker 1: by the Hillary campaign and launching as a dirty trick 400 00:22:31,737 --> 00:22:37,817 Speaker 1: the whole Russia Gate collusion narrative and fanning the flames 401 00:22:37,857 --> 00:22:44,497 Speaker 1: of it. And the second, I think he exposed really 402 00:22:44,577 --> 00:22:49,097 Speaker 1: dreadful behavior by the supervisors in the FBI, the senior 403 00:22:49,177 --> 00:22:53,337 Speaker 1: ranks of the FBI. That is all true. I mean, 404 00:22:53,457 --> 00:22:56,017 Speaker 1: it didn't get it on the record from Hillary's campaign 405 00:22:56,057 --> 00:22:59,017 Speaker 1: manager that the order came from Hillary. She did order 406 00:22:59,017 --> 00:23:02,497 Speaker 1: the code red so to speak. No, she did. And 407 00:23:02,537 --> 00:23:04,657 Speaker 1: I'm glad Bill Barr is admitting it. You know, I 408 00:23:04,737 --> 00:23:07,177 Speaker 1: spent two years of my life telling him about it, 409 00:23:07,217 --> 00:23:10,337 Speaker 1: along with Devin Nunez and Johnny Radcliffe, and he could 410 00:23:10,377 --> 00:23:12,777 Speaker 1: have put you know, he called it a seditious act, 411 00:23:12,897 --> 00:23:14,977 Speaker 1: I think in that interview or recently, Well, if it 412 00:23:15,097 --> 00:23:17,337 Speaker 1: was such a seditious act when you were attorney general, 413 00:23:17,577 --> 00:23:20,577 Speaker 1: why didn't you mobilize the forces and assist John Durham 414 00:23:20,617 --> 00:23:22,977 Speaker 1: in this prosecution. Of course, now he's on a book tour, 415 00:23:23,057 --> 00:23:25,497 Speaker 1: so he wants to take victory for both sides, attacking 416 00:23:25,497 --> 00:23:29,297 Speaker 1: President Trump and also making John Durham's you know, whatever 417 00:23:29,337 --> 00:23:32,017 Speaker 1: wins we can take from it his. But it's just 418 00:23:32,057 --> 00:23:35,097 Speaker 1: another example of a cabinet secretary him. Mark Esper would 419 00:23:35,137 --> 00:23:37,457 Speaker 1: have you who want to have it both ways take credit. 420 00:23:37,537 --> 00:23:38,937 Speaker 1: But when they could have done more and could have 421 00:23:38,977 --> 00:23:41,577 Speaker 1: done the job for the American people, they completely failed. 422 00:23:41,857 --> 00:23:43,657 Speaker 1: So one thing that I thought was so interesting about 423 00:23:43,657 --> 00:23:47,017 Speaker 1: the trial, Gosh was, as I understand it, there was 424 00:23:47,057 --> 00:23:51,017 Speaker 1: a text message that was essentially a smoking gun text 425 00:23:51,057 --> 00:23:55,897 Speaker 1: message from Susman to the FBI saying I'm not representing anybody. 426 00:23:56,297 --> 00:24:00,577 Speaker 1: But because they hadn't actually Durham hadn't actually subpoenaed it, 427 00:24:01,497 --> 00:24:04,537 Speaker 1: and because of the statute of limitations for the actual 428 00:24:04,577 --> 00:24:08,977 Speaker 1: line to the FBI crime, they weren't able to introduce 429 00:24:09,097 --> 00:24:12,337 Speaker 1: that text message in a way that the jury was 430 00:24:12,377 --> 00:24:14,377 Speaker 1: able to consider it in there. We'll talking about the 431 00:24:14,457 --> 00:24:17,657 Speaker 1: jury in a second and their deliberations. Why would they 432 00:24:17,737 --> 00:24:20,857 Speaker 1: rely on the good they asked for every communication from 433 00:24:20,857 --> 00:24:23,297 Speaker 1: the FBI, right, Durham's team said, yeah, FBI, give us 434 00:24:23,337 --> 00:24:26,057 Speaker 1: all the communications. They didn't subpoena it, so they didn't 435 00:24:26,097 --> 00:24:29,377 Speaker 1: get it until it was too late. Why aren't they 436 00:24:29,417 --> 00:24:33,137 Speaker 1: using subpoenas with the FBI. I don't understand this one, 437 00:24:33,337 --> 00:24:36,017 Speaker 1: as a former federal prosecutor, completely baffles me. Look, the 438 00:24:36,417 --> 00:24:39,657 Speaker 1: information they presented to the jury was my interrogation of 439 00:24:39,697 --> 00:24:42,537 Speaker 1: Michael Sussman four years under oath, where in black and 440 00:24:42,537 --> 00:24:45,097 Speaker 1: white he said, under oath, under penalty of perjury, I'm 441 00:24:45,137 --> 00:24:48,057 Speaker 1: telling you, cashmateall in house intel that I went to 442 00:24:48,177 --> 00:24:50,777 Speaker 1: the FBI and behalf of a client. Then the text 443 00:24:50,817 --> 00:24:54,457 Speaker 1: message you're talking about is from Sussman's own phone to 444 00:24:54,617 --> 00:24:57,177 Speaker 1: the FBI where he says, in black and white, I'm 445 00:24:57,217 --> 00:25:00,337 Speaker 1: coming to you as a good Samaritan. That's a lie. 446 00:25:01,217 --> 00:25:04,857 Speaker 1: But the judge allowed judicial discretion to come in the 447 00:25:04,897 --> 00:25:07,377 Speaker 1: form of politics to keep that out. It has nothing 448 00:25:07,417 --> 00:25:09,497 Speaker 1: to do with the Statute of limitations or anything else. 449 00:25:09,657 --> 00:25:12,897 Speaker 1: You hear these legal experts. He shows not to give 450 00:25:12,897 --> 00:25:15,737 Speaker 1: the jury the videotape of the murder, and they let 451 00:25:15,817 --> 00:25:18,777 Speaker 1: him walk for it. And it is remarkable too, just 452 00:25:18,897 --> 00:25:22,817 Speaker 1: on the ultimate what I call the ultimate failsafe for 453 00:25:23,017 --> 00:25:25,417 Speaker 1: the deep state is that if you have federal government 454 00:25:25,457 --> 00:25:27,857 Speaker 1: malfeasans at the highest levels, which you clearly did hear 455 00:25:27,937 --> 00:25:30,217 Speaker 1: Cash you and I know this. In the FBI, clearly 456 00:25:30,897 --> 00:25:33,617 Speaker 1: they were colluding in a sense, and the Russia collusion 457 00:25:33,737 --> 00:25:38,937 Speaker 1: lie that if it's going to be tried in Washington, DC, 458 00:25:39,177 --> 00:25:42,177 Speaker 1: or even DC's environs, you know, in Northern Virginia, whatever, 459 00:25:43,057 --> 00:25:46,177 Speaker 1: you're going to have a jury pool that is ninety 460 00:25:46,297 --> 00:25:49,137 Speaker 1: ninety five percent in the tank for Hillary, Obama, Biden, 461 00:25:49,217 --> 00:25:52,457 Speaker 1: you name. It feels like that's a failsafe for the 462 00:25:52,457 --> 00:25:55,537 Speaker 1: deep state. How do we get around this? You know, 463 00:25:55,577 --> 00:25:57,817 Speaker 1: as a prosecutor, you can get arounded by not bringing 464 00:25:57,857 --> 00:26:00,097 Speaker 1: the case in DC. And I think John Durham is 465 00:26:00,137 --> 00:26:02,137 Speaker 1: too much by the book. If I have one criticism 466 00:26:02,137 --> 00:26:04,177 Speaker 1: of him, that might be it. He doesn't have to 467 00:26:04,217 --> 00:26:06,817 Speaker 1: bring that kind of case in Washington. He could bring 468 00:26:06,817 --> 00:26:08,817 Speaker 1: it in places like Virginia, where his next one is, 469 00:26:09,057 --> 00:26:10,737 Speaker 1: or if it's a conspiracy case, he can bring in 470 00:26:10,777 --> 00:26:13,137 Speaker 1: a number of different venues. And you just got to 471 00:26:13,137 --> 00:26:15,497 Speaker 1: get creative. And I don't know that this Justice Department 472 00:26:15,537 --> 00:26:17,697 Speaker 1: would let him, but you got to use the full 473 00:26:17,737 --> 00:26:19,897 Speaker 1: force of the rules of the rule of law like 474 00:26:19,897 --> 00:26:22,257 Speaker 1: they did against you, John Durham. You got to use 475 00:26:22,297 --> 00:26:24,697 Speaker 1: it against them. Knowing that this type of DC jury, 476 00:26:24,857 --> 00:26:27,777 Speaker 1: which had three Hillary Clinton donors, an AOC donner, and 477 00:26:28,417 --> 00:26:31,737 Speaker 1: a person on the jury whose kids swam with Sussman's daughter, 478 00:26:31,977 --> 00:26:36,377 Speaker 1: literally can't make this up. I mean, that's how bad Washington, 479 00:26:36,457 --> 00:26:39,777 Speaker 1: DC is. Not just politically, but from a citizen standpoint. 480 00:26:39,817 --> 00:26:42,497 Speaker 1: So people didn't hate the swamp before. I think they're 481 00:26:42,497 --> 00:26:45,697 Speaker 1: gonna hate it now. Trump spoke out on the Sussman verdict. 482 00:26:45,697 --> 00:26:48,577 Speaker 1: By the way he put out the statement, our legal 483 00:26:48,577 --> 00:26:53,017 Speaker 1: system is corrupt, our judges and justices are highly partisan, compromise, 484 00:26:53,097 --> 00:26:56,497 Speaker 1: we're just playing scared. Our borders are open, our elections 485 00:26:56,497 --> 00:26:59,377 Speaker 1: are rigged. Inflation is rampant, gas prices and food costs 486 00:26:59,457 --> 00:27:01,817 Speaker 1: or through the roof. Our military is woke, our country 487 00:27:01,897 --> 00:27:03,977 Speaker 1: is going to hell. And Michael Sussman is not guilty. 488 00:27:04,177 --> 00:27:08,537 Speaker 1: How's everything else doing? What do you think? Well? That 489 00:27:08,617 --> 00:27:11,137 Speaker 1: about sums it up, but also shows me. You know, 490 00:27:11,337 --> 00:27:13,657 Speaker 1: guys like me and you and him gotta keep fighting 491 00:27:13,657 --> 00:27:16,177 Speaker 1: because we know there's um. You just can't take any 492 00:27:16,257 --> 00:27:19,417 Speaker 1: That's what they do. We'll do it everyway, ken, I mean, heck, 493 00:27:19,457 --> 00:27:21,377 Speaker 1: I even wrote a children's book on Russia Gate to 494 00:27:21,417 --> 00:27:23,217 Speaker 1: try to get the message out, and Google shut me 495 00:27:23,257 --> 00:27:26,377 Speaker 1: down yesterday on the plot against the King, which I 496 00:27:26,377 --> 00:27:29,737 Speaker 1: found hilarious.

Each 527 00:29:07,937 --> 00:29:10,577 Speaker 1: morning at six am Eastern, I'll bring you fifteen to 528 00:29:10,577 --> 00:29:13,217 Speaker 1: twenty minutes of the most important issues facing the country, 529 00:29:13,417 --> 00:29:16,817 Speaker 1: giving you the critical intelligence and analysis you need to 530 00:29:16,857 --> 00:29:26,657 Speaker 1: start your morning. President Biden directed the drawdown of an 531 00:29:26,657 --> 00:29:30,257 Speaker 1: additional seven hundred million dollars in weapons and equipment from 532 00:29:30,257 --> 00:29:33,857 Speaker 1: the Department of Defense inventories. The capabilities in this package 533 00:29:33,857 --> 00:29:36,737 Speaker 1: are tailored to meet critical Ukrainian needs for today's fight, 534 00:29:37,177 --> 00:29:41,817 Speaker 1: including requirements for rocket artillery. This authorization is the eleventh 535 00:29:41,897 --> 00:29:46,097 Speaker 1: drawdown of equipment from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 536 00:29:46,137 --> 00:29:49,777 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one. The capabilities in this package include 537 00:29:50,137 --> 00:29:54,097 Speaker 1: high mobility artillery, rocket systems or high mars, and guided 538 00:29:54,177 --> 00:29:58,297 Speaker 1: munitions with a range of up to seventy kilometers. Yet 539 00:29:58,337 --> 00:30:01,417 Speaker 1: another care package from Uncle Sam will soon be on 540 00:30:01,457 --> 00:30:04,017 Speaker 1: its way to Ukraine to help them fight off the 541 00:30:04,297 --> 00:30:09,457 Speaker 1: Russian invaders. Biden administration unveiled another seven hundred million dollars 542 00:30:09,537 --> 00:30:11,857 Speaker 1: in a in the form of artillery and long range 543 00:30:11,897 --> 00:30:15,897 Speaker 1: rocket systems to help the Ukrainian military slow down the 544 00:30:15,937 --> 00:30:19,257 Speaker 1: Russian army. Russia is not taking this new package lightly, 545 00:30:20,017 --> 00:30:23,457 Speaker 1: one officials, saying the US is quote adding fuel to 546 00:30:23,537 --> 00:30:27,897 Speaker 1: this fire by sending longer range rockets. So how many 547 00:30:27,937 --> 00:30:30,337 Speaker 1: care packages are we going to send? And how long 548 00:30:30,377 --> 00:30:32,257 Speaker 1: will Russia allow us to get away with this before 549 00:30:32,257 --> 00:30:36,057 Speaker 1: they wind up taking action against the United States? Join me, 550 00:30:36,137 --> 00:30:38,737 Speaker 1: I discuss seeing your fellow at the Foundation for Defense 551 00:30:38,857 --> 00:30:44,697 Speaker 1: of Democracies, Bill Roggio. Bill, Thank you, sir. Thanks buckets 552 00:30:44,697 --> 00:30:47,257 Speaker 1: always a pleasure. All right, we're sending over now a 553 00:30:47,297 --> 00:30:50,057 Speaker 1: whole bunch of new rockets. I'm hearing that these are 554 00:30:50,377 --> 00:30:53,777 Speaker 1: pretty advanced. What are they, why are we sending them? 555 00:30:53,777 --> 00:30:56,177 Speaker 1: How are they going to change things? And how pissed 556 00:30:56,217 --> 00:30:59,017 Speaker 1: off or the Russians is going to get over this one? Yeah? 557 00:30:59,057 --> 00:31:01,497 Speaker 1: I think to answer your last question first, I think 558 00:31:01,497 --> 00:31:03,617 Speaker 1: the Russians are going to be pretty upset over this one. 559 00:31:04,017 --> 00:31:09,537 Speaker 1: These are guided rockets that can launch larger warheads of 560 00:31:09,617 --> 00:31:15,897 Speaker 1: the They're putting more explosives and at greater distance, more 561 00:31:15,937 --> 00:31:19,417 Speaker 1: than twice the amount of the artillery pieces that we 562 00:31:19,497 --> 00:31:21,937 Speaker 1: have sent those. Howard serves maybe we had said earlier 563 00:31:22,297 --> 00:31:25,497 Speaker 1: so that you could launch these at about seventy about 564 00:31:25,577 --> 00:31:31,377 Speaker 1: forty miles. They also are highly more mobile than artillery pieces. 565 00:31:31,497 --> 00:31:33,137 Speaker 1: Artillery pieces you've got to take them off the back 566 00:31:33,137 --> 00:31:35,737 Speaker 1: of the truck and put them down and then fire them, 567 00:31:36,097 --> 00:31:38,737 Speaker 1: whereas these you can basically drive your truck up and 568 00:31:38,777 --> 00:31:42,457 Speaker 1: push a button and fire and fire. They're often are 569 00:31:42,537 --> 00:31:46,257 Speaker 1: guided as well, someone using the GPS and GPS, so 570 00:31:46,337 --> 00:31:50,217 Speaker 1: these are definitely more advanced. It will help the Ukrainians. 571 00:31:50,217 --> 00:31:53,537 Speaker 1: The question is will it help enough. That's what we're 572 00:31:53,537 --> 00:31:55,977 Speaker 1: going to find out, and are they reaching the battlefield 573 00:31:56,977 --> 00:32:00,057 Speaker 1: in a timely manner and at the same time, and 574 00:32:00,057 --> 00:32:03,497 Speaker 1: also there's an issue here of training the Ukrainians to 575 00:32:03,537 --> 00:32:06,097 Speaker 1: actually use these and not just use them, but use 576 00:32:06,137 --> 00:32:08,737 Speaker 1: them effectively. That you know, these are the questions we're 577 00:32:08,777 --> 00:32:11,417 Speaker 1: going to be finding out as the next couple of 578 00:32:11,417 --> 00:32:14,817 Speaker 1: weeks and months of advance. I mean, this is added 579 00:32:14,857 --> 00:32:19,777 Speaker 1: to an already considerable amount of direct US assistance to 580 00:32:19,817 --> 00:32:23,057 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians. CBS News reported that overall, the United States 581 00:32:23,097 --> 00:32:27,377 Speaker 1: has committed approximately five billion dollars in security assistance to 582 00:32:27,497 --> 00:32:30,777 Speaker 1: Ukraine since the beginning of the Bide administration, including approximately 583 00:32:30,777 --> 00:32:33,977 Speaker 1: four point five billions since the Russian invasion on February 584 00:32:34,137 --> 00:32:37,737 Speaker 1: twenty four. So we're sending billions and this is four 585 00:32:37,777 --> 00:32:41,817 Speaker 1: When this is security assistance, right, we're basically talking weapons, communications, equipment, 586 00:32:42,257 --> 00:32:46,417 Speaker 1: body armor, right, and we're talking about battlefield stuff. Is 587 00:32:46,457 --> 00:32:51,417 Speaker 1: this a I mean, has this been essentially a game 588 00:32:51,497 --> 00:32:54,297 Speaker 1: changer from the perspective of the Ukrainian resistance? I mean, 589 00:32:54,457 --> 00:32:57,577 Speaker 1: how much are we giving them relative to other NATO 590 00:32:57,697 --> 00:33:01,977 Speaker 1: partners and how reliant are they bill on what US 591 00:33:02,057 --> 00:33:06,137 Speaker 1: taxpayers are funding here in this fight? Yeah, an incident 592 00:33:06,617 --> 00:33:09,657 Speaker 1: as far as how much we've said, we've sent more 593 00:33:09,737 --> 00:33:13,857 Speaker 1: in aid in the in military aid is all than 594 00:33:13,977 --> 00:33:17,497 Speaker 1: all of Europe combined. You know, this is a European 595 00:33:17,657 --> 00:33:21,657 Speaker 1: problem first and foremost Europeans really need to up their 596 00:33:21,657 --> 00:33:25,337 Speaker 1: game and be sending more, you know, be spending a 597 00:33:25,337 --> 00:33:28,737 Speaker 1: lot more. The Europeans are the ones most concerned about 598 00:33:28,737 --> 00:33:31,617 Speaker 1: what is happening here, and they really need to be 599 00:33:32,177 --> 00:33:35,217 Speaker 1: spending a lot more money if they believe that it's 600 00:33:35,297 --> 00:33:38,577 Speaker 1: in their interest to keep the Ukrainians fighting off the Russians. 601 00:33:38,577 --> 00:33:41,497 Speaker 1: How effective it's been, I think it was effective in 602 00:33:41,537 --> 00:33:44,857 Speaker 1: and around in the Kiev with where the Russians failed 603 00:33:44,857 --> 00:33:49,257 Speaker 1: and around Kiev the Russians also made mistakes. But now 604 00:33:49,377 --> 00:33:53,897 Speaker 1: the Russians seem to have regrouped, They've changed their tactics. 605 00:33:53,937 --> 00:33:57,737 Speaker 1: They're they're operating more closely to their doctrine, bringing up 606 00:33:57,737 --> 00:34:03,217 Speaker 1: the artillery, pounding locations, concentrating fires, and they're having success 607 00:34:03,257 --> 00:34:06,617 Speaker 1: with this. The Ukrainians are losing a lot of troops. 608 00:34:06,777 --> 00:34:10,257 Speaker 1: President Zalinski estimated fifty to one hundred a day. That 609 00:34:10,377 --> 00:34:13,817 Speaker 1: is significant for a country the size of Ukraine. And 610 00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:17,537 Speaker 1: they're losing ground, steadily losing ground. In the east. Almost 611 00:34:17,537 --> 00:34:20,937 Speaker 1: all of the counts province one of the two provinces 612 00:34:20,977 --> 00:34:25,297 Speaker 1: in the Dnbas are under is under Russian control. They're 613 00:34:25,297 --> 00:34:29,177 Speaker 1: losing ground into nets and the Ukrainians are only being 614 00:34:29,457 --> 00:34:32,817 Speaker 1: only able to fight or to launch limited counterattacks. The 615 00:34:32,897 --> 00:34:35,177 Speaker 1: question here that we have to ask is at what 616 00:34:35,297 --> 00:34:39,457 Speaker 1: point do we need to turn to negotiations. And you know, 617 00:34:39,537 --> 00:34:42,097 Speaker 1: as we continue to pour weapons in the Ukraine and 618 00:34:42,137 --> 00:34:45,457 Speaker 1: spending partner and taxpayer money at a very difficult time. 619 00:34:46,017 --> 00:34:50,217 Speaker 1: At what point does will it? Is it going to matter? 620 00:34:50,297 --> 00:34:54,137 Speaker 1: Are the Russians going to continue advancing? There's a are 621 00:34:54,137 --> 00:34:57,297 Speaker 1: the Ukrainians going to continue dying in large numbers? We 622 00:34:57,377 --> 00:35:01,657 Speaker 1: have to start considering other options here, Bill, what is 623 00:35:01,697 --> 00:35:04,097 Speaker 1: the latest on. There's there's a one city right that 624 00:35:04,097 --> 00:35:07,257 Speaker 1: the Russians have a major city in the east that 625 00:35:07,017 --> 00:35:10,417 Speaker 1: they are almost in full control of. I know, Mary Opal, 626 00:35:10,617 --> 00:35:12,617 Speaker 1: I believe it's fallen, which just can tell us you 627 00:35:12,697 --> 00:35:16,057 Speaker 1: mentioned territory. They're taken more in the dawn, boss key 628 00:35:16,177 --> 00:35:19,177 Speaker 1: cities and cities of strategic importance. Where does that stand 629 00:35:19,177 --> 00:35:22,417 Speaker 1: on the battlefield? Yeah, there's a city called sever Donesque. 630 00:35:22,537 --> 00:35:26,897 Speaker 1: It's um right on the edge of the Khansk province 631 00:35:26,977 --> 00:35:29,857 Speaker 1: and the Russians have taken control of seventy percent of it. 632 00:35:30,137 --> 00:35:33,257 Speaker 1: And not just that, but they're they're creating a salient, 633 00:35:33,457 --> 00:35:37,017 Speaker 1: or they're creating a pocket that they're very close to closing. 634 00:35:37,097 --> 00:35:41,057 Speaker 1: And there's thousands, perhaps ten thousand Ukrainian troops that may 635 00:35:41,097 --> 00:35:44,657 Speaker 1: be trapped within this this pocket. And once this, if 636 00:35:44,657 --> 00:35:48,937 Speaker 1: this can happen, Ukrainians are gonna lose or possibly can lose. 637 00:35:49,337 --> 00:35:51,537 Speaker 1: So these are some of their best forces that are 638 00:35:51,657 --> 00:35:56,057 Speaker 1: that are stationed there in eastern Ukraine. So there, this 639 00:35:56,137 --> 00:35:58,097 Speaker 1: is what I'm talking about. And even as we pour 640 00:35:58,177 --> 00:36:01,657 Speaker 1: weapons systems in, the Ukrainians are losing ground and they 641 00:36:01,657 --> 00:36:04,337 Speaker 1: can they can. There's an operation, there's an opportunity here 642 00:36:04,337 --> 00:36:07,977 Speaker 1: if the Russians can get it together to punch further west. 643 00:36:08,977 --> 00:36:12,257 Speaker 1: And that's a there's a real danger to the Ukrainians. 644 00:36:12,577 --> 00:36:16,217 Speaker 1: You know, we're pouring weapons in saying perhaps they can win, 645 00:36:16,697 --> 00:36:19,897 Speaker 1: but what happens if perhaps they can lose, it could 646 00:36:19,897 --> 00:36:21,817 Speaker 1: be it could also be a stalemate, but they could 647 00:36:21,817 --> 00:36:26,137 Speaker 1: also could lose considerable territory if they're not careful. What 648 00:36:26,217 --> 00:36:30,177 Speaker 1: do you think Putin's goals are at this stage? As 649 00:36:30,217 --> 00:36:33,497 Speaker 1: best we can tell, I know this is the kremlinology 650 00:36:33,537 --> 00:36:36,657 Speaker 1: that's going on in the media is constant and usually wrong. 651 00:36:36,937 --> 00:36:40,577 Speaker 1: So what do we know of Putin's intentions? What's our 652 00:36:40,617 --> 00:36:42,657 Speaker 1: best what's your best guess right now as to what 653 00:36:42,737 --> 00:36:46,177 Speaker 1: he's planning? Where where is he trying to take this? Yeah, 654 00:36:46,217 --> 00:36:48,377 Speaker 1: I believe he's trying to take full control of the 655 00:36:48,457 --> 00:36:51,177 Speaker 1: don bus. So that's the new Holeskin Dunnets Province in 656 00:36:51,217 --> 00:36:54,777 Speaker 1: the east, can keep control of the areas that are 657 00:36:54,817 --> 00:36:56,977 Speaker 1: east of Kharkiv in the north ends of the second 658 00:36:57,017 --> 00:37:00,017 Speaker 1: largest city in the north. UM he controls two thirds 659 00:37:00,017 --> 00:37:02,017 Speaker 1: of the of the Black Sea coast and all of 660 00:37:02,017 --> 00:37:05,937 Speaker 1: the Sea of Bazov the coast there. I believe that 661 00:37:05,977 --> 00:37:08,897 Speaker 1: he would like to once taking control of don Bus 662 00:37:09,257 --> 00:37:12,497 Speaker 1: perhaps in the ncing a little further west there, he'd 663 00:37:12,537 --> 00:37:15,217 Speaker 1: like to take control of the city of Adsa and 664 00:37:15,297 --> 00:37:18,457 Speaker 1: take full control of the Black Sea. This would strangle 665 00:37:18,857 --> 00:37:22,737 Speaker 1: the Ukrainian economy. They wouldn't be able to export via 666 00:37:22,897 --> 00:37:28,217 Speaker 1: their Black seaports. UM sending it over rail is significantly 667 00:37:29,137 --> 00:37:31,617 Speaker 1: I believe it's like three or four times higher, if 668 00:37:31,657 --> 00:37:35,537 Speaker 1: not more than shipping it overseas. Also, just wanted to know. 669 00:37:35,577 --> 00:37:38,737 Speaker 1: I mean, here's President Zelenscape claiming that Russia has removed 670 00:37:38,737 --> 00:37:42,257 Speaker 1: two hundred thousand children from their country. Watch this. You 671 00:37:42,337 --> 00:38:05,897 Speaker 1: want to neustade Enameli Lamas nineteen in that saekli Na 672 00:38:11,257 --> 00:38:24,297 Speaker 1: Russia the nest on the So just bill real quick 673 00:38:24,377 --> 00:38:27,337 Speaker 1: before we go, what is this force deportation of children 674 00:38:27,417 --> 00:38:30,577 Speaker 1: from Ukraine into Russia. Well, we have to remember there's 675 00:38:30,577 --> 00:38:33,497 Speaker 1: an intense propaganda war being waged by both sides. It's 676 00:38:33,577 --> 00:38:37,377 Speaker 1: difficult to confirm what he is saying, but I have 677 00:38:37,537 --> 00:38:40,857 Speaker 1: no doubt that the Russians have conductive forced deportasion two 678 00:38:40,937 --> 00:38:43,897 Speaker 1: hundred thousand children. That's that's a significant number. I'm a 679 00:38:43,977 --> 00:38:46,137 Speaker 1: little skeptical of that, but if it's one hundred thousand 680 00:38:46,137 --> 00:38:49,097 Speaker 1: and fifty thousand, whatever that number is, uh, you know, 681 00:38:49,257 --> 00:38:53,417 Speaker 1: look putin it is. What the Russians are doing is 682 00:38:53,497 --> 00:38:55,657 Speaker 1: evil and it needs to be stopped. We need to 683 00:38:55,937 --> 00:38:58,577 Speaker 1: support the Ukrainians. We just need to be wise about 684 00:38:58,657 --> 00:39:02,217 Speaker 1: how we do this. Bill. Appreciate you joining us. Good 685 00:39:02,217 --> 00:39:07,497 Speaker 1: to see it always a pleasure, but thank you. Former 686 00:39:07,577 --> 00:39:10,337 Speaker 1: White House COVID Task Force member doctor Debra Burr is 687 00:39:10,377 --> 00:39:12,697 Speaker 1: back on TV, this time saying mandates are used because 688 00:39:12,697 --> 00:39:15,577 Speaker 1: the CDC doesn't want to explain the science. We've got 689 00:39:15,577 --> 00:39:17,337 Speaker 1: the video for you in tonight's Quick Hits Stay with Us. 690 00:39:23,657 --> 00:39:26,777 Speaker 1: Former White House COVID Task Force member doctor Deborah Burks 691 00:39:26,897 --> 00:39:29,737 Speaker 1: is back on TV, this time saying mandates are used 692 00:39:29,857 --> 00:39:32,977 Speaker 1: because the CDC doesn't want to explain the science, and 693 00:39:33,097 --> 00:39:36,297 Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre appears to have 694 00:39:36,497 --> 00:39:39,497 Speaker 1: no idea if Biden was ever warned about the baby 695 00:39:39,577 --> 00:39:42,977 Speaker 1: formula crisis. Oh wow, that's really encouraging. It's time for 696 00:39:43,097 --> 00:39:48,097 Speaker 1: quick hits. Let's start with the Chanelle scarf wearing tyrant 697 00:39:48,737 --> 00:39:51,977 Speaker 1: doctor Deborah Burks. You remember she was read along there 698 00:39:52,017 --> 00:39:53,697 Speaker 1: with Fauci. They were kind of a duo, you know, 699 00:39:53,857 --> 00:39:57,337 Speaker 1: tango in cash Burks and Fauci, but you know, more 700 00:39:57,417 --> 00:40:00,377 Speaker 1: like Stalin, And she was part of this whole thing. 701 00:40:00,537 --> 00:40:04,177 Speaker 1: And it's fascon to watch how she self justifies the 702 00:40:04,297 --> 00:40:07,977 Speaker 1: horrifically wrong and awful policies pushed by the atrocious CDC 703 00:40:08,217 --> 00:40:11,097 Speaker 1: and NIH and all the rest of the public health apparatus, 704 00:40:11,257 --> 00:40:13,857 Speaker 1: as you know, because we just wanted to or something. 705 00:40:13,937 --> 00:40:18,377 Speaker 1: Watch mandates should never be an excuse for not empowering 706 00:40:18,497 --> 00:40:21,457 Speaker 1: the American people with the knowledge that they need to 707 00:40:21,657 --> 00:40:24,857 Speaker 1: understand why mask work and why they should be used 708 00:40:24,897 --> 00:40:29,097 Speaker 1: in certain situations. And I think sometimes we use mandates 709 00:40:29,137 --> 00:40:31,377 Speaker 1: because we don't want to take the time to explain 710 00:40:31,457 --> 00:40:35,217 Speaker 1: the science and the data and really have people understand 711 00:40:35,537 --> 00:40:37,497 Speaker 1: who should be using them and why they should be 712 00:40:37,657 --> 00:40:42,457 Speaker 1: using them. No, masks don't work. Sorry, Even the New 713 00:40:42,537 --> 00:40:46,017 Speaker 1: York Times just printing story saying that mask mandates don't 714 00:40:46,057 --> 00:40:50,577 Speaker 1: do a damn thing, So don't work. You can keep 715 00:40:50,617 --> 00:40:52,817 Speaker 1: saying they work, but the way people wear them doesn't 716 00:40:52,817 --> 00:40:54,777 Speaker 1: actually work, and the way people live their lives doesn't 717 00:40:54,777 --> 00:40:57,457 Speaker 1: actually keep them safe from the virus. And most people 718 00:40:57,457 --> 00:40:59,217 Speaker 1: have gotten the virus now anyway, So what was this 719 00:40:59,257 --> 00:41:04,977 Speaker 1: all about? Atrocious? These people are loathsome loathsome in the 720 00:41:05,057 --> 00:41:07,297 Speaker 1: public health apparatus. No one should ever listen to them again. 721 00:41:07,297 --> 00:41:11,817 Speaker 1: They should all be fired, and their reputation should be ignominious, 722 00:41:12,017 --> 00:41:16,217 Speaker 1: to say the least representative of David Chichillin of Rhode 723 00:41:16,257 --> 00:41:21,257 Speaker 1: Island says something about a well, he says, I don't 724 00:41:21,257 --> 00:41:23,217 Speaker 1: think there's a single incident of an assailant using an 725 00:41:23,217 --> 00:41:25,817 Speaker 1: assault weapon that was stopped by a person with a gun. Watch. 726 00:41:26,177 --> 00:41:28,657 Speaker 1: I don't think there is a single incident, and maybe 727 00:41:28,697 --> 00:41:33,457 Speaker 1: there's one, but I've not found one of an assailant 728 00:41:33,537 --> 00:41:37,737 Speaker 1: using an assault weapon that was stopped by a person 729 00:41:38,017 --> 00:41:42,537 Speaker 1: with a gun. So this is a just maybe there's 730 00:41:42,577 --> 00:41:45,337 Speaker 1: one of the thousands and thousands and thousands of shootings. 731 00:41:47,137 --> 00:41:49,857 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting because there are lots of them. 732 00:41:49,897 --> 00:41:53,617 Speaker 1: Actually not one, but even this past weekend, a woman 733 00:41:53,657 --> 00:41:56,617 Speaker 1: in South Carolina with a gun shot a man who 734 00:41:57,097 --> 00:41:59,537 Speaker 1: came in with an a R fifteen and was firing 735 00:41:59,657 --> 00:42:03,337 Speaker 1: at a party. So yes, actually, it's not like you 736 00:42:03,417 --> 00:42:06,497 Speaker 1: have to go deep into history or deep dive into 737 00:42:06,537 --> 00:42:09,577 Speaker 1: the data. It literally happened, and there were news stories 738 00:42:09,577 --> 00:42:11,817 Speaker 1: on it this past weekend. But one of the morons 739 00:42:11,857 --> 00:42:14,857 Speaker 1: who wants to pass more gun laws can't be bothered 740 00:42:14,897 --> 00:42:19,377 Speaker 1: to actually know anything, being in a moron zoo, don't 741 00:42:19,417 --> 00:42:22,657 Speaker 1: know anything. Joe Biden, when did he know that there 742 00:42:22,777 --> 00:42:24,537 Speaker 1: was going to be a big problem here with a 743 00:42:24,657 --> 00:42:31,457 Speaker 1: baby formula shortage? Well, when asked Karine, Jean Pierre appears 744 00:42:31,497 --> 00:42:35,017 Speaker 1: to not know when, if ever, Joe Biden was in 745 00:42:35,177 --> 00:42:40,777 Speaker 1: fact warned about the baby formula crisis. Watch so you did. 746 00:42:40,857 --> 00:42:45,257 Speaker 1: February seventeen was the recall. February DA issue instructions to 747 00:42:45,337 --> 00:42:50,297 Speaker 1: say let's let's can we continue that through HPRIL When 748 00:42:50,377 --> 00:42:53,537 Speaker 1: did somebody call the White House to say this is 749 00:42:53,577 --> 00:42:58,097 Speaker 1: a problem, you guys may need to get involved, So 750 00:42:58,297 --> 00:43:01,937 Speaker 1: I could say that again, the recall happened on the 751 00:43:02,097 --> 00:43:05,497 Speaker 1: they wanted the recall. We took action as a whole 752 00:43:05,537 --> 00:43:08,817 Speaker 1: of government approach right with FDA usdas I just laid 753 00:43:08,817 --> 00:43:14,097 Speaker 1: out and the president understands again, he understands how difficult 754 00:43:14,137 --> 00:43:18,217 Speaker 1: this is. He understands how challenging this is, and we 755 00:43:18,377 --> 00:43:24,177 Speaker 1: have acknowledged that. Yeah, that's that's not good enough. Then 756 00:43:24,217 --> 00:43:26,857 Speaker 1: a teacher explained how she's tried teaching second graders about 757 00:43:26,897 --> 00:43:30,417 Speaker 1: non binary and they said, wait a second, that doesn't 758 00:43:30,417 --> 00:43:35,817 Speaker 1: make sense. Watch so today queer teacher things.
