1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: Behind you for people for people watching, is your arranger

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: tab the seventy fifth Ranger Regiment patch, your Airborne Wings,

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: your Combat Infantryment's badge, or a veteran of the Iraq War,

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: of the Afghanistan War. You enlisted in the army as

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: a private in the National Guard to help pay through college.

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: You were commissioned. You led men in combat as a captain,

7
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: as a company commander. There's a second aircraft carrier being

8
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 1: deployed to the vicinity of Iran in the Arabian Sea.

9
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: How worried are you that we are on the edge

10
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: of a massive military strike against Iran with really no

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 1: debate whatsoever, no strategy known to anyone but Donald Trump

12
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: and Pete Hagsath, no discussion whatsoever about what comes next

13
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: after the bombs drop, and what likelihood do you think

14
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,279
Speaker 1: that two weeks from now that Epstein's off the front

15
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: pages and war with Iran is the leading chirn on

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: all the cable news Trump shows.

17
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 2: Well, I'm deeply troubled by the prospect of Donald Trump

18
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: using our military or engaging in conflict to try to

19
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 2: distract us or to coalesce power, right, I mean, the

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: man will do that and if you don't think you will,

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 2: and you're fooling yourselves. And this is one of the reasons.

22
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: I mean the fact that I did three combat tours

23
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: in Iraq, in Afghanistan, at least one of those was

24
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: to enrich oil executives in the private industry. Right, And

25
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: we spent twenty years at war, trillions of dollars, thousands

26
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 2: of American lives, loss, tens of thousands wounded, our credibility

27
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: throughout the world, damaged, and for what right, By most definitions,

28
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: we can't say that those conflicts ended well. So what

29
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: I learned i was a younger man was that when

30
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: the elites in Washington bang the war drums and pound

31
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: their chests and talk tough about what they're going to do,

32
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 2: they're not doing it themselves. And they're not talking about

33
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: sending their kids to do it. They're talking about sending

34
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: working class kids like me. Sometimes some towns you've never

35
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: heard of, they're the ones that have to jump in

36
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 2: the tanks, jump in the helicopters, pick up a rifle,

37
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: and do the tough stuff and suffer the consequences of it.

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: So I'm done with that, right, and Americans are done

39
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: with that They're done with the endless wars. They're done

40
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: with the war drums being banged every time somebody wants

41
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 2: to enrich an oal executive or somebody else. I can

42
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: tell you who isn't done with it is Donald Trump,

43
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: who campaigned as an isolationist and campaigned on ending there

44
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: forever wars. And the man doesn't see a problem. He

45
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: doesn't think he can bomb his way out of You know,

46
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: seven countries bombed in the first year of his administration.

47
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,080
Speaker 2: It's got to end. And I think there is a

48
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: coalition in America forming right, left, center and everybody in

49
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: between who's also done with it, and once Congress to

50
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: reassert its war powers and to put it in and

51
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 2: put some guardrails in place.

52
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: One of the things that happened, uh, yesterday at that

53
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: grand jury is that ordinary Americans heard the government's case

54
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: and told them to pound sand They said, they said, no.

55
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Does that?

56
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 2: Does that?

57
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: Does that make you more optimistic about about the mood

58
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: of the country that as as Trump's numbers collapse and

59
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: fall apart? How How did when when you got word

60
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: that that the Grand jury said no? Uh? Grand Juries

61
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: famously on dited indict a ham sandwich.

62
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they won't indict somebody who threw a ham

63
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,119
Speaker 2: sandwiches that much. We know that much.

64
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: We know what was your reaction to that that the

65
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: grand jury said no?

66
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: Well, it just real affirmed for me some of the

67
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: guardrails of our system that are holding our founders. The

68
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: framers of the Constitution put grand juries in place for

69
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: precisely this reason, because they knew that people would abuse process,

70
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: and you'd have people that would try to weaponize the

71
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: system against their opponents, and they put regular people in

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: the position of being able to stop it. And that's

73
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: exactly what happened yesterday, and it's happening around the country,

74
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 2: by the way, because numerous grand juries are pushing back

75
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: and the grand jury, which the failure rate for a

76
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: grand jury I used to be a lawyer too, is

77
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: very low. Historically, very few grand juries ever fail, but

78
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 2: under this administration many are because they're just putting ridiculous cases,

79
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: political cases in front of these folks and they're saying no.

80
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 2: So that gives me hope, But Steve, the thing that

81
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: gives me more hope than that is what I'm seeing

82
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: around this country right now. I'm traveling the country and

83
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: I'm recruiting candidates, and I'm finding that next generation of

84
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: servant leaders who are going to step up and help

85
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: us retake this country and rebuild our democracy. And there's

86
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 2: something really significant happening in our country right now. The

87
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: tide is turning.

88
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: Give us, Give us a couple names of candidates that

89
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: people can go look up that are watching us, and

90
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: send ten dollars twenty dollars to who you're excited about.

91
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 2: I can't go into details on that.

92
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: And you're in your office. Yes, bad question from my

93
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: part almost got you in trouble. But you're a good

94
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: congressman and a good lawyer. There. One of the things

95
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: that that the Save America movement that I'm gonna that

96
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: that I'm involved in is doing. Tomorrow, We'll be releasing

97
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: an ad on Epstein and JD Vance inside the district.

98
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: We'll begin running ads targeting Trump ambassadors in Poland, in Denmark,

99
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: and in Canada. We have an ad that will be

100
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: running across Canada from the American people will begin our

101
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: corporate CEO campaign. We're going going after Tim Cook, We're

Speaker 1: going after Ron Later, We're going after Brad Karp at

00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the law firm, and we are going to be in

104
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: the fight. And one thing that we're going to do

105
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: in the weeks ahead is we're in a geo fence

106
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: the courthouses where these grand juries convene with messages that

107
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,840
Speaker 1: the Justice Department is corrupt, they cannot be trusted, and

108
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: when they come to a jury with political evidence return

109
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: and note Bill using you all as the example of that.

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people out across the

111
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: country deeply admire you, are cheering for you and your colleagues,

112
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: and I know just from being out there and traveling

113
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: the country, there's so much energy and happiness for the

114
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: fighting democrats like yourself, who are fierce about their oaths,

115
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: who will not kneel down, will not back down, and

116
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: will keep fighting for our way of life. So I

117
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: just have enormous gratitude. You're one of the very best

118
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: members of the United States Congress and U and I

119
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: think a lot of people when they when they look

120
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,559
Speaker 1: at you, say, you know, we're gonna be okay because

121
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: we got enough guys like Jason Crow, enough enough women

122
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: like Alyssa slock In and others out there who just

123
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: won't back down any of this. And so I personally

124
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: want to say thank.

125
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 2: You for that. Thanks Steve. I'm not packing backing down.

126
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 2: I'm doubling and tripling down. And I'm inspired by the

127
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: millions of Americans that are stepping up and showing everyday courage.

128
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: You're naming and shaming some of the elites and some

129
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: of the privileged people who are buckling and coming. It's

130
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: not going to be their story when the history of

131
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 2: this moment is written. It's not going to be the

132
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 2: story of the cowards and those who who shirked their duty.

133
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the story of everybody else who stepped up,

134
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 2: who showed courage, the Alex Petties, the Renee Goods, and

135
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: many other folks who are doing the work. And that's inspiring.

136
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: That's the beauty of our country.

137
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: Jason Crowe. Everybody a man who epitomizes his duty on

138
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: our country. Congressman crow thanks for your time tonight.

139
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me.

140
00:08:09,840 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: You bet
