1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: You may have seen the headline, and the headline is 2 00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,400 Speaker 1: one that was shocking to the world and it was 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,640 Speaker 1: done on purpose by the Trump administration. 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 2: When it comes to China, China. 5 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,720 Speaker 1: Is now facing up to a two and forty five 6 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,240 Speaker 1: percent Trump tariff. Now, there's a lot that has happened 7 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours. Not only did the 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: White House say China's facing this two hundred and forty 9 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: five percent tariff on imports the US, but they said 10 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: it was because of a result of its retaliatory actions 11 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,360 Speaker 1: from China against US. Now this is going back and 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 1: forth at a rapid pace. Why does this matter Because 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: the trade war is obviously rattling global markets. Cutting off 14 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: Chinese imports is complicating American supply chain, and it is 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: also hurting Chinese exporters all but losing the US market 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: is quote a severe blow. And now they are putting 17 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: pressure on their own government to get a deal done. 18 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: So here's what we know. 19 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 1: Now there has been movement from China quietly. 20 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: China has now. 21 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: Appointed a new trade negotiator. China appointed a man by 22 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: the name of Lee Chong as its new trade negotiator 23 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: on Wednesday, in the midst of its terrifiight with the US. 24 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: Now this is a significant move that signals a change 25 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: in the style of their negotiations or lack thereof from Beijing. Now, 26 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: let me tell you more about Lee that you will 27 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: hear nowhere else. Prior to this new appointment, Lee spent 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: about four and a half years as China's ambassador to 29 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: the World Trade Organization that is, the body that governs 30 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: global commerce into which Beijing has appealed in its tariff 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: dispute with the US. Lee has also had permanent representative 32 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: status to the Chinese delegation to the UN Office in Geneva, 33 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: as well as other international organizations in Switzerland. We also 34 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: know that Lee participated in negotiating China's ascension to the 35 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: WTO known as the World Trade Organization more than twenty 36 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: years ago. This means there is real movement now, and movement, 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: as it was described by one as saying this quote, 38 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,920 Speaker 1: there might be another style of negotiations from China. Lee 39 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: is an open minded person and supports free trade. That 40 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 1: is with the dean of the China Institute for WTO 41 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: Studies at the University of International Business and Economic Sideness 42 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: statement to the press, So what are people saying about 43 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: this in China, well, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said 44 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: there is no winner in tariff wars and trade wars, 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: the first time signaling that they may be willing to 46 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,119 Speaker 1: do a deal. And China, he went on to say, 47 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: does not want to fight. Let me say that again. 48 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: China does not want to fight, but it is by 49 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: no means afraid to fight again, a major change in 50 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: the rhetoric coming out of Beijing. President Trump also wrote 51 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: on True Social nobody is getting off the hook for 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: the unfair trade balances and non monetary tariff barriers that 53 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: other countries have used against us, especially not China, which 54 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 1: by far treats us the worst. That's what Trump said 55 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: on True Social on the thirteenth, he said, we are 56 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: taking a look at semiconductors and the whole electronic supply 57 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: chain in the upcoming national security tariff investigations. What has 58 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: been exposed is that we need to make products in 59 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: the US and that we will not be held hostage 60 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: by other countries, especially hostile trading nations like China, which 61 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: will do everything within its power to disrespect the American people. 62 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: Which brings us now to the newest headline. As I 63 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: said a moment ago, things are moving rapidly and this 64 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: is good news for Americans as well. Trump's tariff update 65 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: tonight reads like this. Let me say this again, three 66 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: two one line reads like this. China is now signaling 67 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: a quote readiness to talk if US shows respect amid 68 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: the numbers game. Again, this is very different than what 69 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: they were saying just twenty four hours ago. China is 70 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: now expressing openness into trade talks with the US under 71 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: certain conditions, even after the White House clarified that China 72 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: now faces up to a two hundred and forty five 73 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: percent tariff. 74 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 2: On imports to the US. 75 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 1: This goes back to what Donald Trump said all along, 76 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: I'm not flinching on countries that are taking advantage of 77 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: the American workers, the American people. He also said it 78 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: was going to be a national security issue, which you 79 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: just heard them mentioned yet again, and the President said, 80 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: I'm more than willing to sit down to get a 81 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: fair deal for the American people. And with China pointing 82 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: Lee as its new trade negotiator, it signals a major 83 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: potential shift in the approach to trade discussions, and that 84 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: is not only good for Americans, but also for the 85 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 1: entire world. You may remember the other day there was 86 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 1: reports out that there were fifty countries that had lined 87 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: up to negotiate their terrors to the Trump administration. Then 88 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: that number went to seventy, and that is when the 89 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: media started getting quiet on the story. We now have 90 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: a new number, and the Trump administration has told us 91 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,239 Speaker 1: that they are now negotiating with one hundred and thirty 92 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: countries on tariffs. Now, I want you to hear this 93 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: back and forth with liberal Jake Tapper over at CNN 94 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: on say of the Union talking with the National Economic 95 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: Council Director Kevin Hassett. And here is what Jake Tapper 96 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: tried to say when he was baiting him into. 97 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 2: A false narrative. Take a listen. 98 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,160 Speaker 3: What do you say to small business owners or even 99 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 3: big business owners who say they're having difficulty making long 100 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 3: term business decisions because the country scenes right now to 101 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,479 Speaker 3: be run by capricious whim. 102 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 4: Oh i'd think it at all. It's run by Capricia's whim. 103 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 5: The way that I would think about it is that 104 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 5: in the previous administration, you can sort of say, if 105 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 5: you're thinking about it into football analogy is that they 106 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 5: were running out the clock and what's going on now, 107 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 5: and the Trump administration is across a wide array of 108 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 5: policy areas. 109 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 4: We're in a two. 110 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 5: Minute offense, and the two minute offense is pushing, as 111 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 5: you've seen the reconciliation build through, so that we get 112 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 5: tax relief for America people, deregulation, and of course trade policy. Now, 113 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 5: in the trade policy, the whole point of the trade 114 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 5: policy is to address the national emergency that we're too 115 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 5: dependent on foreign products in the US, especially if we 116 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 5: were at a time of conflict, and we're doing something 117 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 5: about that. And the Reciprocal Act was basically, guys, if 118 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 5: you come to the table and negotiate us with us 119 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 5: and treat us the same way we treat you, then 120 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 5: we'll get your rate really low. And so right now 121 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 5: one hundred and thirty countries, one hundred and thirty countries 122 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 5: have responded and we're negotiating with them, and they've got 123 00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 5: their rate down to ten percent. 124 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 4: Really, it's kind of almost a two world system. 125 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 5: There's a process about China and that's very very nascent, 126 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 5: if at all, and then the process for everybody else. 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 5: So the process for everybody else is orderly. It's clear 128 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 5: people are coming to town with great offers. We've got 129 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 5: japanned Korea, India. I was just talking to the Foreign 130 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 5: Minister of India and everything is moving forward very quickly, 131 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 5: and so I guess the bottom line is that the 132 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 5: small business owner has experienced over the last few weeks 133 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,679 Speaker 5: the start of a process that's settling down really quite quickly. 134 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 4: Gave one hundred and thirty countries are at ten percent now. 135 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: So if you want to know if the administration is 136 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 1: working hard to get these deals done, the answer is yes. 137 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: And are there people that are coming to the table. 138 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: The answer is yes. And are there a few no? 139 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: Are there some? 140 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:48,360 Speaker 6: No? 141 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: Are there a lot? 142 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 7: Men? 143 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you could go even beyond that, as I quote 144 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: the administration. So right now there are one hundred and 145 00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 1: thirty countries. One hundred and thirty countries have responded and 146 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: we're negotiating with them, and they've got their rate down 147 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: to ten percent. So really it's almost a two world system. 148 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: There's a process that they said about countries that are 149 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: not willing to come to the table, places like China, 150 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: and those are going to be tough, but everyone else 151 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: they seem to be wanting the best deal they can 152 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: get with the American government, and that means it's an 153 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: amazing deal for the American people. So don't buy into 154 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: the fear mongering. Look at the actual results, and it's 155 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: clear that there's one hundred and thirty countries that are 156 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: dying to get a deal done with a Trump administration 157 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: who is putting American workers and businesses first instead of last. 158 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: Now that's not the only piece of good news. The 159 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: President is also listening to his advisors, and now we 160 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: know that there is going to be some exemptions on 161 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: some important products that do affect Americans. Right now, smartphones, computers, 162 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: and electronic devices are being exempt from the Trump administration's 163 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: tariffs on China.

I declare national emergency 197 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: arising from conditions reflected in large and persistent annual US 198 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: goods trade deficits, and imposed additional ad belorum duties as 199 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: I deem necessary and appropriate to deal with the unusual 200 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,079 Speaker 1: and extraordinary threat, which has its source and whole are 201 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: substantial part outside of the US. The national security and 202 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: economic of the United States of America is what is 203 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 1: stated in this Executive order. 204 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: Now here's what we know. 205 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 1: The President's being clear that he's not going to allow 206 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: China to get away with much of what they've been doing, 207 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 1: But there are certain things that America does need in 208 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: the near term as we start manufacturing in this country. 209 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: This is also another example of the President listening to 210 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: those around him and listening to the American people and industry. 211 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: They are saying, we love that you're fighting for us, 212 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: but there may be some certain things will need some 213 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: help on in the short term, and this is proof 214 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 1: that the President is obviously putting Americans first. Yet again, 215 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 1: it is amazing what Democrats will say and do just 216 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: to be against Donald Trump and the American people. We 217 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: had an election and it was very clear the American 218 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 1: people said they wanted a secure border. We had an 219 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: election and it was very clear the voters said they 220 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: wanted to start locking up violent criminals, especially those that 221 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: are in MS thirteen gangs and other gangs from around 222 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: the world. We also know that the president had a 223 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: mandate to clean up everything that had been broken by 224 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: the open border policies of the Biden administration. We'll fast 225 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: forward just a few months in to his second term 226 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: in office, and now Democrats are actually in a position 227 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,680 Speaker 1: I didn't even think they were dumb enough to put themselves. 228 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 2: In, Yet here we are. 229 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: Democrats are now going together, standing and demanding the return 230 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: of deported MS thirteen gang members. One senator in particular 231 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: is leading the charge Senator Chris van Holland. He's a 232 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: Democrat from Maryland, and he is now requesting a meeting 233 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: with Al Salvador's president, who was in the Oval office 234 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 1: on Monday, to demand the return of an individual that 235 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: is known as an MS thirteen gang member who was 236 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: deported to El Salvador. Now, this is the best audio 237 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: I've heard in a long time to explain just how 238 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: radical the left has become. And also our media as 239 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 1: they're trying to spend a story to their advantage, saying 240 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,239 Speaker 1: that an individual that left America should immediately be returned, 241 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: someone who broke into this country, and also someone who 242 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: is an MS thirteen gang member. I want you to 243 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: listen carefully to Pambondi in the President of the United States 244 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: of America dismantle the media's narrative as the El Salvador 245 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 1: president not only refused to return the deported resident, but 246 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: explained that he was happy to take even more. 247 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 8: Turn the man who your administration says was mistaken the 248 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 8: man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. 249 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 7: Well, let me ask Pam, would you list to answer. 250 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 6: That question, Sir President, First and foremost, he was illegally 251 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 6: in our country. He had been illegally in our country. 252 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 6: And in twenty nineteen, two courts, an immigration court and 253 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 6: an a immigration court ruled that he was a member 254 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 6: of MS thirteen and he was illegally in our country 255 00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 6: right now. It was a paperwork, it was additional paperwork 256 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 6: had needed to be done. That's up to El Salvador 257 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,560 Speaker 6: if they want to return him, that's not up to us. 258 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 6: The Supreme Court rule President that if as El Salvador 259 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 6: wants to return him, this is international matters, foreign affairs. 260 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 6: If they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, 261 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 6: meaning provide a plane. 262 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 7: And if you are doing a great job, and you 263 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 7: just also respond to that question because you know it's 264 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 7: asked by CNN, and they always ask it with a 265 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 7: slant because they're totally slanting because they don't know what's happening. 266 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 7: That's why nobody's watching them. But would you answer that 267 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 7: question also. 268 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 9: Yes, gladly. So, as Pam mentioned, there's the illegal alien 269 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 9: from El Salvador. So with respect to you, he's a 270 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 9: citizen of El Salvador. So it's very arrogant, even for 271 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 9: American media to suggest that we would even tell El 272 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 9: Salvador how to handle their own citizens as a starting point, 273 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 9: as two immigration courts found that he was a member 274 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 9: of MS thirteen. When President Trump declared MS thirteen to 275 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 9: be a foreign terrorist organization, that meant that he was 276 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 9: no longer eligible under federal law, which I'm sure you 277 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,400 Speaker 9: know you're very familiar with the iona that he was 278 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 9: no longer eligible for any form of immigration or relief 279 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 9: in the United States. So we had a deportation order 280 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 9: that was valid, which meant that under our law he's 281 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 9: not even allowed to be present in the United States 282 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 9: and had to be returned because of the foreign terrorist designation. 283 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 9: This issue was then by a district court judge completely inverted, 284 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 9: and a district court judge tried to tell the administration 285 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 9: that they had to kidnap a citizen of El Salvador 286 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 9: and fly him back here. That issue was raised at 287 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 9: the Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court said the district 288 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 9: court order was unlawful and its main components were reversed 289 00:16:56,280 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 9: nine zero, unanimously stating clearly that neither Secretary of State 290 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 9: nor the President could be compelled by anybody to forcibly 291 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 9: retrieve a citizen of El Salvador. From Al Salvador, who 292 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 9: again is a member of MS thirteen, which is I'm 293 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 9: sure you understand, rapes, little girls, murder's woman, murder's children, 294 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 9: is engaged in the most barbaric activities in the world. 295 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 9: And I can promise you if he was your neighbor, 296 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 9: you would move right away, So. 297 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 8: You don't plan the Supreme Court. 298 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 7: In the Supreme Court sieve, was it nine to nothing? 299 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 9: Yes, there's a nine zero in our favor against the 300 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 9: district court ruling saying that no district court has the 301 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 9: power to compel the foreign policy function of the United States. 302 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 9: As Pam said, the ruling solely stated that if this 303 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 9: individual at El Salvador sole discretion was set back to 304 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 9: our country, that we could deport him a second time.

I can 339 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 11: tell you this, mister President no, the foreign policy of 340 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 11: the United States is conducted by the President of the 341 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 11: United States. 342 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: Not by a court, and no court in the United 343 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 2: States has a right to. 344 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 11: Conduct the foreign policy of the United States. 345 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 6: It's that simple. 346 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: This may be one of the best clips I have 347 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: ever seen come out of the White House, and the 348 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: beat down for Caitlin Collins at CNN is truly incredible. 349 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 1: So make sure you make a liberal angry share this 350 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: audio wherever you can share it on social media, because 351 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: this was a glorious takedown with the facts of the 352 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: bias media and the Democrat machine advocating for bringing a 353 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: terrorist back into the United States of America. Now let 354 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 1: me also just say one other thing about this interaction here. 355 00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: Not only did you have the President using facts, so 356 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 1: had the Attorney General Pambondi. You had the White House 357 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Stephen 358 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 1: Miller in there. You had the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, 359 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: and you had the Salvadorian president all look at the media, 360 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,919 Speaker 1: specifically Caitlyn Collins at CNN and took her to task 361 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: on the facts. This is how we win this battle 362 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 1: when they put out lies that this is someone an 363 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: American that we wrongfully sent somewhere else, and then they 364 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 1: turned this into a news cycle, which is exactly what 365 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: you could hear Caitlyn Collins doing there. 366 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 2: You just had the most. 367 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: Brilliant beatdown with the facts from a foreign leader, the 368 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: president and his top people in his administration. By the way, 369 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: it's also sad that this is what it takes. But 370 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: speaking after Bondi, who noted that two immigration courts ruled 371 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: that this individual was an MS thirteen gang member, Miller 372 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: made another great point there, and he made the point 373 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 1: that it is very arrogant, even for American media, suggests 374 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: that we would even tell El Salvador how to handle 375 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: their own citizens as a starting point. And then you 376 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 1: also heard the president of El Salvador say, you're implying 377 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: CNN that I should be smuggling a terrorist out of 378 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: my country and putting them back in the United States 379 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: of America. We're gonna have a lot more battles like this. 380 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to do everything we can to fight 381 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,119 Speaker 1: back when this happens. But when Trump also underscored the 382 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: nine to zero unanimous ruling from the Supreme Court, and 383 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Miller emphasized there's no scenario that results in this guy 384 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: legally living in the United States of America. And he said, 385 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: as Pam said, is El Salvador sole direction we sent 386 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 1: him back to their country. We could deport him a 387 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: second time if they brought him back, but he said, 388 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 1: quote no version of this legally ends up with him 389 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: ever living here in America because. 390 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: Why he is a citizen of Al Salvador. 391 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: This is how we have to fight them, and it's 392 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: sad that this is our level of like our burden 393 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: of proof to win these arguments. But when we do 394 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: win them, we've got to make sure everyone hears it 395 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 1: because this is an incredibly important point that was made. 396 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: It was an embarrassment to Caitlyn Collins at CNN, as 397 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: it should have been. And this was a huge victory 398 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,679 Speaker 1: for the rule of law by the President and everyone 399 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: else in his cabinet. 400 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: Saving you money. 401 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: It is a promise that Donald Trump said he was 402 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: going to make good on when it came to government waste, 403 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: fraud and abuse. We know what Doge has been doing, 404 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,200 Speaker 1: but we now have found out other ways that the 405 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 1: President is helping make Americans more money. And this is 406 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 1: coming from the EPA Administrator Lee Zelden. He said in 407 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: an interview that he is quote shocked by how much 408 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: money we are able to save with quote the largest 409 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: deregulatory action ever, slashing quote trillions of dollars in deregulation. 410 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: The Environmental Protection Agency chief Zelden spoke during a roundtable 411 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 1: with Breitbart News editoring chief about what all is happening 412 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: and the agency's efforts to slash government waste, fraud, and abuse. 413 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: The EPA administrator, a former congressman, has now moved to 414 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:15,720 Speaker 1: cancel over twenty two billion in contracts as part of 415 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump's initiative to eliminate diversity, equity and Inclusion 416 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: policies known as DEI. He also has said that they 417 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: are canceling environmental justice grants and canceling other government spending 418 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: that is basically just straight up waste and fraud. Zelden 419 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: emphasized the degree to which the administration has been able 420 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: to make significant. 421 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 2: Savings by cutting. 422 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: Zelden said the agency's annual operating budget is ten billion dollars, 423 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 1: while they have been able to cut twenty two billion 424 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: in grants alone. Yes, twenty two billion in grants now. 425 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: The leader of the agency said quote one month ago. 426 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: That amounts to the largest deregulatory action in the history 427 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. One agency will do 428 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: more deregulation in twenty twenty five than entire federal government 429 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 1: wide deregulatory efforts ever of any administration. He went on 430 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: to say, We're going to have trillions of dollars of 431 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: deregulation just in the EPA, just in twenty twenty five. 432 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: We're going to do all this while creating jobs, including 433 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: in the auto sector. We're going to make it easier 434 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 1: to buy a home, make it easier to be able 435 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 1: to heat your home. This is the mandate, this is 436 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: the term mandate. This is what people voted for last November, 437 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 1: and we're going to follow through to get it done. 438 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: He went on to say, So, if you're asking what 439 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: is the future of these terms like environmental justice or 440 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: climate change, We're going back to the basics, to the 441 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: core mission at EPA. It is protecting human health and 442 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: the environment, and we are going to power the great 443 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: American comeback now. Zelden announced in mid March that he 444 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: would move to clear hundreds of backlog cases to clean air, 445 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: saying that the Biden administration focused on partisan ideological pursuits 446 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: rather than the agency's core mission, saying we're going to 447 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: go back to those basics, and the core mission at 448 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: the EPA is protecting you the environment, and we're going 449 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: to make sure that we do that. Pillarwani said is 450 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 1: clean air and water for all Americans, to unleash energy dominance. 451 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: He said, it's important that we make sure that the 452 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: American people understand that the government is on their side. 453 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 2: Zelden also made it. 454 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: Clear that the total goal of his job and his 455 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 1: department is to make it easier for Americans to succeed 456 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: in business while also giving us protection for the basics 457 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 1: at the core of the EPA, not a partisan political 458 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: green ideology or green religion. And this is exactly what 459 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: the American people voted for when they said we want 460 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 1: Donald Trump back in the White House, and now they're 461 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: getting it now. 462 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: Zelden also is getting in on the other. 463 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: Major issue today, and that is political violence that has 464 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: been mainstreamed against conservatives. You may not remember this, but 465 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: Zelden was actually a victim of political violence when he 466 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: was running for office in New York. He spoke with 467 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 1: Laura Ingram about exactly how bad it's gotten in this 468 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: country because of the Democrats that are advocating for this. 469 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 8: And that's the angle joining me now, EPA Administrator Lee Zelden. 470 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 8: He's also been the target of political violence in recent years. 471 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 8: In twenty twenty two, during his own New York Group 472 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 8: natorial campaign, a man with a sharp object climbed up 473 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 8: on stage while Zelden was speaking, and Lee quickly grabbed 474 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 8: his arm and others jumped in to subdue the man. 475 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 8: Fortunately no one was hurt. It's a close call, and 476 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 8: last November, a pipe bomb threat was sent to his 477 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 8: home with a pro Palestinian themed message, Mister administrator, it's 478 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 8: good to see you tonight. Your reaction to the ramp 479 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 8: up of this violence, and we should say tonight that 480 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,879 Speaker 8: we're learning that Congressoman Nancy Mace was threatened by another 481 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 8: man arrested for threatening the president. Sean Monper of Butler, Pennsylvania, 482 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 8: allegedly said he wanted to put a bullet in her skull. 483 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 8: Your reaction to all this tonight. 484 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 13: This needs to be treated as the fringe. And there 485 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 13: are people who are in politics who have individuals across 486 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 13: the country who follow them, and these people in the 487 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 13: office have been following those people instead of leading them. 488 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 13: This comes from the fringe. It needs to be treated 489 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 13: from the fringe, and it needs to be treated with 490 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 13: your tolerance. There's a lot of clickbait. You played the 491 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 13: clip by Taylor Lorenz, and maybe she gets more following. 492 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 13: People who might be followers of this assassin might now 493 00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 13: start following Taylor Lorenz, so she feeds into it and 494 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 13: it normalizes it. And we shouldn't be trying to make 495 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,240 Speaker 13: assassinations great again in this country. It should be something 496 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 13: that's identified as a ten crazy on the matrix. And 497 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 13: whether it's coming from the right or the left, if 498 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 13: you're a leader in government, if you're a leader at all, 499 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 13: you should be leading those people who follow you, as 500 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 13: opposed to being led by them. And the last thing 501 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 13: I would say on this is there's an attempt right 502 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 13: now to try to figure out how to oppose President 503 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 13: Trump and the right, the people who are out of 504 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 13: power right now, and they're flailing. They can't figure out 505 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 13: the right names to call, the right tactics to use, 506 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 13: and they're getting more and more extreme. There's not a 507 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 13: more important moment than right now for these democrats who 508 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 13: are out of power to be sending that message that 509 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 13: this is from the fringe, zero tolerance, it won't be normalized. 510 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 13: And if you are following me, that leader, you make 511 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 13: it very clear that this is not welcome in this 512 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 13: society in this moment. They need to find a tactic 513 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 13: where we are debating ideas instead of promoting political violence. 514 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: Well, you listen to Zelden there, and he's absolutely right. 515 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 1: He said, we shouldn't be trying to make assassinations great 516 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: again in this country. This is fringe behavior and it 517 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: needs to be treated with zero tolerance. You look it 518 00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: out radical the left has become. They're now actually getting 519 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: together to go and stand up for illegal immigrants that 520 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,840 Speaker 1: are members of terrorist organizations. I wish I was joking, 521 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: Unfortunately I'm not. And when you hear the President of 522 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,440 Speaker 1: the United States of America talking about how important it 523 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 1: is for us to go back to the basics, that 524 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 1: is also something that leads Elden is advocating for. Here 525 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: he is talking and saying it with a clear voice 526 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: as a individual that has been a victim of political violence, 527 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,560 Speaker 1: and he's saying, where are the Democrats now? Why are 528 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 1: they not standing up? Why are they not telling their 529 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 1: followers that this is wrong, and I'm going to answer 530 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: the question because they don't believe that they're crossing any line. 531 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: These are the same democrats that called Donald Trump Adolf Hitler. 532 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: These are the same democrats that advocate for Jewish students 533 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: to be attacked on college campuses. These are the same 534 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 1: democrats that backed the cities that were under the summer 535 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: of rage with Black Lives Matter. These are the same 536 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: democrats that when you were burning down police stations and 537 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 1: killing innocent people, they were advocating for those that were 538 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: arrested to bail them out, and we're telling you please 539 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,040 Speaker 1: give more. That is the Democratic Party today and what 540 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 1: leaves Elden is saying there, and it's unfortunate, but the 541 00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: media has mainstreamed this. 542 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 2: The political violence is normal. 543 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: The political violence is something that we should all be 544 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: just standing here and say, yeah, we have no problem with, 545 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, get not getting your way and then deciding 546 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: that we're going to do these types of political violence 547 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: and anarchy. 548 00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: It's wrong and it's. 549 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 1: Going to cost people their lives because Democrats refuse to 550 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 1: stop and act like statesmen, and instead what they're doing 551 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: is they're advocating for the craziest among us to act out. 552 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: Don't forget Share this podcast please on social media wherever 553 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,680 Speaker 1: you're listening, Grab it, hit that auto button, that forward button, 554 00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: share it.
