1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,880 Speaker 1: All right, thanks Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of 2 00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: you for being with us. Toll free A number is 3 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: eight hundred ninety one, Sean if you want to be 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: a part of the program, Linda, what was the last 5 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,680 Speaker 1: thing I said Friday as I was signing off this 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: radio program? Do you remember? I do? I do? Remember? 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 1: What did I say? Have a nice weekend? All right, 8 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're being one Monday, we will have a 9 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. And yes, I said, the deal 10 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: has been struck. I already knew. You know, It's amazing 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: that even still some people didn't understand, you know, all 12 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 1: the back and forth. Are there people in this audience? 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: Am I miss reading the fact that they they don't 14 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: think that I'm actually I actually have sources and people 15 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: that I'm talking to, and I know exactly what was 16 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: going on. I knew the entire week what was going on, 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: and I knew exactly in the last break before I 18 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: said goodbye on Friday, you know, announcing I would be 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: on TV that night and Matt Gates and Lauren Bobert 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: would be on on Friday night. They were that that 21 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: a deal had been struck. Now the reason and I 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: can bring people a little behind the scenes, if you're interested. 23 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: I'd been in touch with a lot of people. I 24 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: knew that this was coming from, you know, some point 25 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 1: in early December that this was there were differences emerging, 26 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: and that I thought it was important if I had 27 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: my way. Obviously, nobody listens to me. You know. My 28 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: advice was getting a room, closed the door, check your ego, 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: check your phone. Everybody go in there with the thought 30 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,199 Speaker 1: of how do we serve our constituents in the best 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: possible way, what is the best agenda that we all 32 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: agree on and come out of there with everything agreed 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: to and not do this all publicly, so that didn't happen. 34 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,320 Speaker 1: There was no sense of urgency at that moment. I'm 35 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: not sure why I would talk to a lot of 36 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: people during this period. I said, why don't we do 37 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: it now so it doesn't become an Adam Shift show 38 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: on January third. At the end, there's no harm, there's 39 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: no foul. They had a deal. Most of this. The 40 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: irony in this is most of this deal had already 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: been in principle agreed to. Then people might ask, okay, well, 42 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: we watched the show on Friday night, Hannay and you go, 43 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Speaker 1: you you get off the air. They gabble in and 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: in the first vote, Kevin McCarthy, I think it was 45 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: the fourteenth vote. What did he went on the fifteenth anyway, 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: In the first vote, the very people on my program 47 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: Friday night, Matt Gates and Lauren Bobert. By the way, 48 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: Lauren Bobert will join us later in the program today, 49 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: you know, prevented Kevin McCarthy from getting over the finish line. 50 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: You saw tempers flaring a little bit, Marjorie Taylor Green 51 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: and Lauren Bobert exchanging words. Who was it that went 52 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: after Matt Gates a little bit? Had to feel back 53 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: like what is Mike Rodgers? And they've made up since. 54 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: By the way, As a side note, in case anybody's interested, 55 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: they're bad feelings among some people. That's fine, but it's 56 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: not about your feelings anymore. It's about your republic servant. 57 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 1: You're there to serve the people that sent you there. 58 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: You're not there to serve yourself. And that was a 59 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: message that I tried to remind people my sources of often. 60 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: I said, what is your purpose here? Because if your 61 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: purpose is to serve your constituents, then any ask that 62 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: you may have. And again, it would have been better 63 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: before the last week, and it could have been handled 64 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: behind closed doors. I think that would have been smarter 65 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: strategically for them. Some people disagree, they think this whole 66 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: process being played out in public is a good thing. 67 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: I would argue maybe it's a good thing that the 68 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: base sees it play out publicly. Certainly, Republicans have every 69 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,559 Speaker 1: right to be suspicious. I mean, look what the Republicans 70 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: in the Senate did over the Christmas holiday with this piotic, 71 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, Omnibus bill, which was so unnecessary and it 72 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: was so wrong and so fundamentally wrong. McCarthy was begging, 73 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,000 Speaker 1: you know, the Senate leadership, don't do this. We will 74 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: have power of the purse. Come, you know, January. Why 75 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 1: are you doing this now when you can do a 76 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: simple CR continuing resolution and we can fund the government, 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: and when we get in power, we'll put spending restraints 78 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: in place that are common sense and be more in 79 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: line with fiscal conservatism. It just made sense. So anyway, 80 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: so some of you were surprised Friday night. I was not, 81 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: based on some of the conversations that I was privy too. Now, 82 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: Matt Gates Lauren Boeber come on the show on Friday night. 83 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: They were two of the Republican holdouts, and I knew 84 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: at that moment, based on their answers subsequent conversations with 85 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 1: different people, I worked my sources that in fact, what 86 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: there was one thing that everybody was waiting on in 87 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: writing they wanted it in writing, it had all been 88 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 1: agreed to. And this was another frustrating part. A lot 89 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: of the items that the Republicans had wanted had already 90 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: been agreed to long before the third I mean that 91 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: that part was frustrating days before January third. The issue 92 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: of filing emotion to vacate the chair. At that point 93 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: it was a five vote threshold, which is nothing, and 94 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: it got reduced to a one vote threshold. In other words, 95 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: at any given time, one House member can file emotion 96 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: to vacate the chair, and at that point in time, 97 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: that would be a no confidence vote. And that is 98 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: a protection for the rank and file in case Kevin 99 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 1: McCarthy goes John Bayner on us and goes off the reservation, 100 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: tries to weazele out of the agenda the promises that 101 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: they made, But a lot of this had already been 102 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: agreed to. They've got a couple of other concessions in 103 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: the course of last week, things that nobody really disagreed on. 104 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: A vote on a balanced budget amendment, a vote on 105 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: legislation surrounding Board of Security, a vote on term limits 106 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: for members of Congress, a vote on each of the 107 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: individual appropriations bills, of which there are twelve of them, 108 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: and excluding earmarks from such bills. You can go back 109 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 1: our Conservative Solution Caucus. We put it back up on 110 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: Hannity dot Com. That was twenty fourteen. A lot of 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: the same issues exist. Conservatism really doesn't change. It's just 112 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 1: when it's applied and you have the power to apply it, 113 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: it actually works. And I certainly understand rank and file 114 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: members wanting assurances that, in fact that these things will happen. 115 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,600 Speaker 1: You know, one of the more important concessions that Freedom 116 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: Caucus members were having had to do with the Rules Committee, 117 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 1: and that they got extra seats on the Rules Committee 118 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: to make sure that there's a certain criteria behind voting 119 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 1: for bills, and they had voting you know, the seventy 120 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: two hour notice, for example, from release of legislation before 121 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: voting on it, so you could actually read the bill 122 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: before you vote on the bill. Know what's in the bill, 123 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: before you vote on the bill. At the end of 124 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: the day, there was there was There were moments I 125 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:26,119 Speaker 1: was wondering if this would go on beyond a week. 126 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: To me, I felt that the patience of the American 127 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: people would run very, very thin. For all of you 128 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: out there that loved it. There are a lot of 129 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: you that love this playing out in public, and I 130 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: completely understand that part. And you love the twenty people, 131 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: and I completely understand that part. My argument back to 132 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: you is I agreed with every single one of the 133 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: items that they were asking for. That was never an 134 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: issue for me. Those are things that I was telling 135 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: them to work out privately in December and discussing with 136 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: individual members what's going on. That's my job. My job 137 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: is to work my sources, find out information. And I said, well, 138 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: you know, at the end of the day, there was 139 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,239 Speaker 1: always two things I would say. I said, just remember, 140 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: you will all succeed together or you will fail together. 141 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 1: There's not going to be a well I'm successful but 142 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: you're not. That moment was never going to happen. At 143 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day, It's not always about just 144 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: placating your base. You've got to remember that elections often 145 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,560 Speaker 1: are one in the middle of the country with people 146 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: that are independent and they don't like watching, you know, 147 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: an Adam Shift Show unfold for an entire week. Many 148 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: of you loved it, but they admit, but probably most 149 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: of you are, you know, movement conservatives like I am. 150 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: I just know from from all my experience that ultimately 151 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: it's probably would have been better. One of those things 152 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: that you work out behind closed doors. But you know 153 00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: in the end, this is going to be long for 154 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: the new GOP. Their first move, their first bill on 155 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: the list is won the GOP promise during the mid 156 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: term election to rescind the eighty seven billion and new 157 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 1: funding for the IRS provided by the twenty twenty two 158 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,839 Speaker 1: Inflation Reduction Act, attacks increased by the Way and Green 159 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: Energy Bill passed by Liberal Democrats and New Green Deal 160 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: Socialists and signed in a law by President Biden. Now, 161 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: this is where you have to manage everybody's expectations. You've 162 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: got to understand there are certain things that they're going 163 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 1: to be able to do and accomplish, and certain things 164 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: they'll be able to do and not be able to accomplish, 165 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: Like the investigations. They will go forward mag no mistake. 166 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: This is a big deal, a huge deal that Jim 167 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 1: Jordan on the as the head of the Judiciary Committee, 168 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,719 Speaker 1: will have a full on investigation into whether or not 169 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,079 Speaker 1: the FBI, you know, looking at parents at school board 170 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 1: meetings at as domestic terrorists, whether it has been meeting 171 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,079 Speaker 1: the FBI politicized and the Department of Justice weaponized. I mean, 172 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: that's a big, big investigation. We already know now a 173 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: lot of things about the FBI's involvement in both the 174 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen election and the twenty twenty election. I bet 175 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: most of you were a little surprised when we learned 176 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: just before the new year that the FBI paid Twitter, 177 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: thanks to Elon Musk releasing the Twitter files, that Twitter 178 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: got three and a half million dollars from the FBI. 179 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,640 Speaker 1: About many of you were surprised that at that the 180 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 1: FBI that led by a guy that wrote a thesis 181 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen about how Donald Trump colluded with Russia 182 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: to win the twenty sixteen election. He was heading up 183 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: this task force that had weekly meetings with all of 184 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 1: these big tech companies. I want to find out. I 185 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: want don't know what other big tech companies were being 186 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: paid here. These are all real investigations, you know. Then 187 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: we have Jim Comer's investigation and whether or not influenced 188 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: pedaling took place. Because we know Joe Biden lied about 189 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: having never spoken to a Hunter one time about his 190 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 1: Farign business dealings. We have pictures now, photographic evidence that 191 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: Joe met with Hunter and his foreign business partners. We 192 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: know there were meetings with Joe then vice president and 193 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: Hunter and his Farign business partners. Now we know damn 194 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: well why Joe withheld a billion taxpayer dollars to get 195 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: a prosecutor in Ukraine fired who was investigating his son 196 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 1: with no experience being paid millions. All of these are 197 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: real investigations. The disaster of a pullout in an Afghanistan 198 00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 1: that's going to be investigated. The origins of COVID nineteen 199 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: will be investigated. What did Anthony Fauci know, when did 200 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: he know it? That'll be investigated. But then we have 201 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: to manage your expectations, is all right? I like the 202 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 1: commitments to America. I thought it was a brilliant idea 203 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:09,079 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy put it together. I think Republicans in general 204 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: have got to they have to re examine deeply how 205 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 1: they how they approach elections in the future. Democrats they're 206 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: all about ballots. Republicans, they're doing it the old fashioned way. 207 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: Let's do rallies, let's do press avails. Uh, let's kiss 208 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: babies and go to fairs and you know, eat whatever. 209 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: Boiled twinkies. What do they do with the twinkies. They 210 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: fry them. They fry everything. They fry oreos, they fry twinkies, 211 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: They fried pickles, they fry everything. By the way, they're 212 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: all delicious too um and taking selfies. The Democrats are 213 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 1: not campaigning that way. They're running negative ads, avoiding the press. 214 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: They don't do town halls. They they then spend the 215 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: majority of their time and money harvesting ballots legally in 216 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: most states, most people don't know that part. So the 217 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,199 Speaker 1: investigation is going to be real. The agenda items are 218 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 1: going to be passed. Now why it's important to pass it. 219 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: Number one you promised you would, and number two. The 220 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: American people then can compare and contrast the differing visions 221 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 1: for the future of the country, and that's going to 222 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: make a big difference. Those items will be addressed and 223 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: Democrats will be put on record, and they will be 224 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: part of the twenty twenty four campaign period. I wish 225 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: we did have the ability to say good bye to 226 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: many of the Republican senators that went along with the 227 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: omnibus bill political reporting. Today. House Republican investigators, that's Jim Jordan, 228 00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: that's Jim Collmer, and many others will now have the 229 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,319 Speaker 1: power to review many of the dubious criminal investigations launched 230 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: by the Biden doj You know, maybe they'll get into 231 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: the Marlago documents. Maybe they'll get into the whole issue 232 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: of parents being investigated as domestic terror. Maybe they'll get 233 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: into the influence of the FBI and whether or not 234 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,599 Speaker 1: they put their thumbs on the scales of the presidential 235 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: elections in twenty twenty and twenty sixteen. By the way, 236 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,599 Speaker 1: New York, well, I'm sorry, Washington Post comes out analysis 237 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: Russian trolls on Twitter had little influence on twenty sixteen voters. Oh, 238 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: they're getting ahead of the Twitter files. They don't want 239 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: to be exposed as having been the liars that they were. 240 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: There's so many things here that in the end are good, 241 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: and many things, frankly, that need to be adopted in 242 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: the US Senate, for example, vote separately on appropriations bill, 243 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: seventy two hour notice to read legislation before you vote 244 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: on it, a balance budget amendment, voting on closing the borders, 245 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: if nothing else. It's just hard when you don't have 246 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: the power of the gavel. And that's where Republicans are headed. 247 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 1: They need that, they need the Senate back, however, the power. 248 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: Don't underestimate the power of the subpoena and investigative powers 249 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: that new Republican majority has. The new GOP House moves 250 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: to roll back Biden's irs expansion. Hopefully they can make 251 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: that happen, and then they'll vote on all of the 252 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: items in the commitments to America as time goes on. 253 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,440 Speaker 1: And that's that's going All of this is going to happen. 254 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: And that's what I knew was going to happen, regardless 255 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: of how last week played out, because a lot of 256 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: it had already been agreed to, and all of this, 257 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: you know, this public show, a lot of it was 258 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: unnecessary my view, but it's neither here nor there. So 259 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: these are these are going to be interesting times. You'll 260 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: see the media mob how abusively corrupt and by as 261 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: they are, because then I'm going to pay attention to 262 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: what the Democrats have been doing, their abuse of power, 263 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: Biden's abuse of power, pay to play, influence pedaling. No, 264 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: they won't pay attention to any of it. You can't 265 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: always get what you want, but you can get Sean 266 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: Hannity online at Hannity dot com twenty five to the 267 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 1: top of the hour. Now. The only reason the Washington 268 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: Post would have written this column that I'm about to 269 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 1: mention to you is because that means that they know, 270 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: or think or believe that they're going to be exposed 271 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: as the liars and frauds that they are. The headline, 272 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: what's that letter? What are you saying in my ear? Yeah, 273 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: I'll get to that. Russian trolls on Twitter had little 274 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: influence on twenty sixteen voters. Listen to this. This is 275 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: what they found. Only one percent of Twitter users accounted 276 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: for seventy percent of the exposure to accounts that Twitter 277 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: identified as Russian troll accounts highly partisan Republicans. They were 278 00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: exposed to nine times more posts than non Republicans. Content 279 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: from the news media and US politicians dwarfed the amount 280 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: of Russian influence content The electorate was exposed to during 281 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen race. There was no measurable impact on 282 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: political attitudes, polarization, and vote preferences and behavior from the 283 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 1: Russian accounts and posts. No, what did have an impact 284 00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: on twenty sixteen was Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for 285 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 1: dirty Russian disinformation dossier. But they're not going to tell 286 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 1: you that part. I want to remind you you probably 287 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: have not heard of home title theft. It's real criminals 288 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: around the world. They target American homeowners like you. And 289 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 1: I'm protecting my home with home Title Locke, and I'll 290 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: tell you why you need to as well. Because your 291 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: home's title, that's the document proving you own your home. 292 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: You can easily find it online. A thief then simply 293 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: forges your signature on a legal document claiming you sold 294 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: your home, and then they'll take out loans on your 295 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,639 Speaker 1: home and then boom, they disappear. You won't find out 296 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: until you get a late payment notice or even a 297 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 1: foreclosure notice. And oftentimes homeowners insurance identity theft programs do 298 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 1: not protect you, but Home Title Lock does. They have 299 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: a special website, hometitlelock dot com slash sean and by 300 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: the way that you can register your address for free 301 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: and you'll get a no obligation home title report for 302 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: your files one hundred dollar value free. That's home title 303 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: lock dot com. Let me move on to you the 304 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: news of the day. Republicans now will get their agenda moving, 305 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: which is what most people want. That's what I've wanted 306 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: from the beginning. Anyway. Biden has spent nearly forty percent 307 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 1: of his presidency on vacation, according to you know, the 308 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Washington and Examiner. I mean that's away from the White House, 309 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: mostly on the beach in Delaware. Of course, it goes 310 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: to Nantucket or wherever else he goes to as well. 311 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: We do have new emails directly implicating the Biden White 312 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: House and their illegal censorship push. The emails demonstrate the 313 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: Biden administration unlawfully coerced social media companies in an effort 314 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: to ensure that Americans would be exposed only to state 315 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 1: approved information about COVID. And we also know about the 316 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: issue of this FBI guy leading up this effort once 317 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: a week meetings with big tech companies. The guy wrote 318 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: a what is his thesis? College thesis on how Donald 319 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: Trump and Russia colluded in twenty sixteen. Maybe he should 320 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: be reading the Washington Post today because even they have 321 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: run away from that false narrative. Anyway, Wall Street Journal 322 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: email exchanges between Rob Flaherty, White House director of Digital 323 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 1: Media Social Media Execs proves that the companies put COVID 324 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: censorship policies in place in response to relentless and coercive 325 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 1: pressure from the White House, not voluntarily. What is this about. Anyway? 326 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:08,400 Speaker 1: The emails emerged in the discovery phase of Missouri v. Biden, 327 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: a free speech case brought by the attorneys general of 328 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: Missouri and Louisiana. We've been following this case very closely. 329 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: This is where we learned that the site integrity manager, 330 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: guy by the name of mister roth recalled specifically that 331 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,399 Speaker 1: the FBI was telling him that you've got to be 332 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: on the lookout every week that have these meetings. You've 333 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: got to be on the lookout for Russian disinformation, of 334 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: China disinformation. In the twenty twenty presidential campaign, then the 335 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop story came out, and sure enough, none 336 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: of the big tech companies ended up publishing the story, 337 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: and they suppressed it to help the Biden minutes, to 338 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: help Joe Biden get elected. Then we find out that 339 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: the FBI paid Twitter at three and a half million dollars. 340 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: Did they pay these other big tech companies anyway, mister 341 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: Flaherty emailed the Facebook execut We are now gravely concerned 342 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: that your service is one of the top drivers a 343 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: vaccine hesitancy period, and this is in March of twenty 344 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 1: twenty one. We want to know that you're trying. We 345 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: want to know how we can help. We want to 346 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: know that you're not playing a shell game. This would 347 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: be a lot easier if you just be straight with us. 348 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: So putting all this pressure on big tech companies in 349 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: the lead up to the election, and now on the 350 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: issue of COVID and vaccines, which, by the way, should 351 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: be handled between an individual their doctor or doctors based 352 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: on their unique medical condition and their medical history. It's 353 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: pretty widely reported today that Biden is making a pivot 354 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: as he prepares to announce his twenty twenty four run. 355 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: By the way, I think Biden running is the best 356 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: thing for Republicans. He's weak, and he's frail, and he's 357 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: not getting better. I mean, that's just the way it is. 358 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: So he's about to launch that campaign all Democrats want 359 00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: to talk about is January sixth even still based on 360 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: what happened? What was Brazil And it's getting insane. But 361 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: they ignored the twenty twenty riots, five hundred and seventy 362 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: four of them in the summer of twenty twenty. On 363 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: the economic front, let me tell you what's about to 364 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: happen out in California, if you'll live out there. You 365 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: have a gas company now warning their customers that their 366 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: January heating bills will be twice as high as it 367 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: was last year. They're explicitly blaming Joe Biden's war on 368 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 1: domestic energy production. Same thing we know is happening in 369 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: New England. The fear of New England this winner is 370 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 1: that they might run out of even enough natural gas 371 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 1: that powers. You know, they're on the same They're all 372 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: on the same grid. All of New England is on 373 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: one grid. In other words, the whole thing can shut 374 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: down because they don't have enough natural gas and the 375 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: cost is going through the roof anyway. Southern Cow or 376 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: so Coal Gas, which supplies natural gas throughout the Southland 377 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 1: and southern California, warning consumers this week weekend their next 378 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: bills will be unusually high quote. An unprecedented cold snap 379 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: across the nation is part of the in part has 380 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: caused national gas prices in the West to more than 381 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: double between December and January, much higher than expected. As 382 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: a result, Southern California gas residents customers can expect the 383 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: typical January bill likely to be more than double the 384 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: typical bill last January, assuming the same amount of natural 385 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 1: gas is used. Natural gas prices have also been exacerbated 386 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:38,359 Speaker 1: by other factors. Russia's war in Ukraine has strained global supplies. 387 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: By the way, it should have no impact on us. 388 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,440 Speaker 1: We have hundreds of years worth of supplies, more than 389 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: any other country on Earth. We don't need to be 390 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: impacted by the war in Ukraine. It's how stupid this 391 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: all is. And then they go on to say the 392 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: Biden administration has also taken a negative approach to oil 393 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: and gas development, shutting down construction of the Keystone XL 394 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 1: pipeline and making it more difficult to explore and develop 395 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: oil resources on federal lands. Now there is a new 396 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: Biden Energy Department study. This is their study finding that 397 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: the Keystone XL pipeline shutdown costs nine point six billion 398 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 1: dollars and sixty thousand jobs. The Biden administration published their 399 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: congressionally mandated report from the Department of Energy highlighting the 400 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: economic benefits that the nation could have reaped as a 401 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: result of the Keystone XL pipeline. Unbelievable nine point six 402 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: billion in economic benefits, sixty thousand jobs lost. These are 403 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 1: high paying career jobs lost. Global food prices in twenty 404 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: twenty two hit a record high around the world, and 405 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 1: everybody in America is feeling it with record high inflation 406 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: of forty year high which continues to this day. Are 407 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: The hero of the day has to be the governor 408 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: of the Great State of Texas, and that's Greg Abbott. 409 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: He meets with Biden. Let me set the stage for 410 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: you here. Biden didn't actually visit the border. It was 411 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 1: his first trip to the southern border since he's been 412 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: out of been in office. Biden met with Democratic officials 413 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: in El Paso, didn't actually visit the border where record 414 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 1: apprehensions were actually taking place, and didn't visit the downtown 415 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: area that's been overrun by homeless illegal immigrants. Nor did 416 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: Biden meet with local residents, make formal remarks, or speak 417 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: with the reporters at all. The President visited a Customs 418 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: and Border Protection processing center at the Bridge of Americas, etc. Etc. 419 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: Now here's the real story behind all of this. Hundreds 420 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: of El Paso illegal immigrants were deported prior to Biden 421 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 1: showing up for his photo op. In other words, they 422 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: cleaned everything up. They didn't want it to look bad 423 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: when Joey showed up, so they tried to clean the 424 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: whole mess as best they could. And Biden departs after 425 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: a brief visit. He didn't see the most impacted areas. 426 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 1: And this is where Governor Abbott was a rock star. 427 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 1: And he starts his letter to Biden hand delivers it. 428 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: Dear President Biden, your visit to our southern border with 429 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,880 Speaker 1: Mexico today is twenty billion dollars too late and two 430 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 1: years too late. Moreover, your visit avoids the sites where 431 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,439 Speaker 1: massy illegal immigration occurs and sidesteps the thousands of angry 432 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: Texas property owners whose lives have been destroyed by your 433 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: border policies. Even the city that you visit has been 434 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 1: sanitized of the migrant camps which had overrun downtown a Opasso. 435 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 1: Because your administration wants to shield you from the chaos 436 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: that Texas experiences on a daily basis. This chaos is 437 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,360 Speaker 1: a direct result of your failure to enforce immigration laws 438 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: that Congress enacted go greg under President Trump, he continues, 439 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 1: the federal government achieved historically low levels of illegal immigration 440 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: under your watch. By contrast, America is suffering the worst 441 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: illegal immigration in the history of the country, and your 442 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: open border policies have emboldened cartels who grow wealthy by 443 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: trafficking deadly fetanol. That and even human beings beaning human trafficking, 444 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,399 Speaker 1: he said. Texas Texans are paying an especially high price 445 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 1: for your failures, sometimes with their very lives, as local 446 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 1: leaders from your own party will tell you have given 447 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,080 Speaker 1: a chance. All of this is happening because you have 448 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 1: violated your constitutional obligation to defend the States against invasion 449 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: through faithful executive execution. Rather, it's hard to reading this 450 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,919 Speaker 1: paper execution of federal laws now halfway through your presidency, 451 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:01,679 Speaker 1: though I can finally commute the border when you finish 452 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,680 Speaker 1: your photo ops in a carefully stage managed version of Olpasso. 453 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: You have a job to do. You must comply with 454 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 1: the many statutes mandating that various categories of aliens quote 455 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: shall be detained and then the practice of a lawfully 456 00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: patrolling aliens en mass. You must stop sandbagging the implementation 457 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,760 Speaker 1: of the remaining Mexico policy, entitle forty two expulsions, and 458 00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: fully enforce those measures as the federal courts have ordered 459 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: you to do. You must aggressively prosecute illegal entry between 460 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:40,520 Speaker 1: ports of entry and allow Ice to remove illegal immigrants 461 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: in accordance with federal laws that are existing. You must aggressively. Also, 462 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: it says persue As say, you must also immediately resume 463 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: construction of the border wall in the state of Texas, 464 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: using the billions of dollars Congress as appropriated for that purpose. 465 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: You designated Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations. On 466 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: behalf of all Americans. I implore you secure our borders 467 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:13,479 Speaker 1: by enforcing Congress's immigration laws. Thank you. Somebody else has 468 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: picked up on the fact that he's been breaking the 469 00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 1: law the entire time. You know, he didn't meet you know, 470 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: he met with briefly with Abbott. Abbott rightly handled him 471 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: that letter, and I'm sure they're pissed off about it, 472 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: and then released it to the public as he should have. 473 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: Good for him. I'm glad that he did that. It 474 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: was a great job. I see Kristen Cinema. Now this 475 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: is interesting. She's leading a bipartisan coalition of senators on 476 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: a border tour. The Senate group will take a day 477 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 1: or two and they will go all across the border 478 00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: from Texas to Arizona. Stops include El Paso, the Central 479 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: Processing Center, the Del Norte port of entry, followed by 480 00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 1: a night tour of the border accompanied by law enforcement. 481 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: How many Democrats will care to go to that one, 482 00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:03,680 Speaker 1: my guests, probably not many. The January sixth Committee published 483 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,480 Speaker 1: the confidential social security numbers of Republican governors like Christy No. 484 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean, who's going to be held accountable for that? Anybody? Unbelievable, 485 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: it really is. This country is in drastic need of 486 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: real leadership. This economy this year is going to be 487 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: a mess. The boarders are going to remain the same. 488 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: They're not going to change. Democrats won't change. The only 489 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 1: way we're going to change is to change the Senate 490 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: and get a Republican conservative president period, an American first president, 491 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: an American first Senate. A lot of these senators should 492 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: be primaried after that vote on the omnibus bill. It's 493 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 1: just the national disgrace
