10
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: a big demonstration rally that they are going to have

11
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: in the Palisades on Wednesday. Wednesday's the anniversary of the fire,

12
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: and it's led by Spencer Pratt and Jeremy Patdawer and

13
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: they have it very well organized. You could go to

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: their website. They let us burn dot com. That is

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: the rallying cry, and it's true, they let us burn

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: dot com. And there's a whole program at ten thirty

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: of the morning in the Palisades that we are going

18
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: to cover, and I'll explain more coming up in the

19
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: next segment. But first, the big story of the day

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: is I believe we now own Venezuela we're controlling it,

21
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: we're running it. I don't know. You talk, you hear

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: different officials use different language depending on the moment. Alex

23
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: Stone from ABC News is coming on. You've probably heard

24
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: that Nicholas Maduro, the dictator, and his wife were captured

25
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: by most of the US military over the weekend and

26
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 1: he is now in jail in New York City and

27
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: he's going to face some severe narco trafficking charges that

28
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: could put him away for life. And he had a

29
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: hearing today and we're going to talk to Alex now

30
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: to explain where we're at. Alex, Yeah, have you seen

31
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: all the meames of Marco Rubio sitting on the couch

32
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: in the Oval office with the Venezuelan presidential cost of

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: a uniform on and saying when he found out he's

34
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: a new head of Venezuela, Well he kind of is

35
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: kind of is right now? Yeah, I know he is,

36
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: so yeah, the not guilty plea today from Maduro and

37
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: his wife, and so that's going to become and begin

38
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: the judicial process. He's back in jail now after the

39
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: hearing earlier today, and he was a very brief hearing,

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, just like any raiment would be and that

41
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: went on. But the bigger fallout from this now for

42
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: many people is that they are stock in the Caribbean.

43
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: That on Friday night into Saturday morning as the operation

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: was going down, and then the hours after it that

45
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: the airspace all around the Caribbean was shot down by

46
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: the FAA. So you've got all of these bigger issues.

47
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: But then all these Americans who are now stuck in

48
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: the Caribbean and what was one of the busiest travel

49
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: weekends of the year, eleven hundred flights canceled on Saturday,

50
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: hundreds yesterday, a couple of hundred more today. People who

51
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: were in the Caribbean are now stuck there that many

52
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: of them have been unable to get flights. This is

53
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 1: a Nathan and Aaron. They live in Denver. They're trying

54
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: to get home, right.

55
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: We're happy to take whatever is available. This is unfortunately

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 2: what we found. You know, we're not asked for anything,

57
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: just a place to sleep, right, like to stay safe

58
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: until we can get back to the airport to fly home.

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: I don't think it's an unreasonabley I ask.

60
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: So they were there celebrating her fortieth birthday in Saint Martin.

61
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: Great place, except now they're stuck there, and United's told

62
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: them they can't get them on another flight until maybe Wednesday,

63
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: maybe Friday. And because of that then and by the way,

64
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: carriers aren't paying for hotels and expenses and all that,

65
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: because it wasn't their doing of what went on, So

66
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: hotels aren't available. Those that are available are super expensive,

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: So they and others are shelling out thousands of dollars.

68
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: They're looking about four thousand dollars for a hotel that

69
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: they found. They're mad about that. Others are saying five grand.

70
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: People are now chartering boats to leave the Eyeans that

71
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: they are on to go to other islands and try

72
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: to get to Puerto Rico, where airlines like American are

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: flying in bowing Triple seven's to get people out who

74
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: are stuck there and that they can't get on other flights.

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: So now they're chartering these boat all right, So they

76
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: charter a boat from like Saint Martin's to Puerto Rico, yeah,

77
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: or you know, from one island to the other that

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: has more flights, and they're trying to figure out how

79
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: they're going to get out between now and Friday where

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: and they're spending like fifteen hundred dollars a night on

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: a hotel. This sounds like a debor Mark vacation, doesn't it.

82
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Although my last vacation I didn't have very many issues. Yeah,

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: but no, this kind of thing. I would have been

84
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: sure you were in the Caribbean this week. Oh, I know,

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: I wish I would so many ways to go out

86
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Stuck in Saint Martin, Saint Lucia. This is great, but

87
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: not when you don't want to spend another six grand

88
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: on hotel. Yeah, I know, the prices are pretty steep.

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: So all right, so that's going to take days and

90
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: days for these people. And is there any word on

91
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: how long the airspace is going to be shut down? Well,

92
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: it's open now, but the problem is that the planes

93
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: that are flying, they are already full as people were

94
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: trying to to leave at the end of their vacation,

95
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: so there's no open seats and what's going And so

96
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: that's why American is flying in the bigger planes, the

97
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: Triple seven, which is the biggest aircraft. They've got to

98
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: many of the places, including Puerto Rico, to try to

99
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: make that kind of a hub to get people back out.

100
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: But those who are on United and Delta and Frontier

101
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: and others that they say that that they're being told

102
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: maybe Friday, we'll try to get you out of there.

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: And that couple that you heard a moment ago, they

104
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: say they were told that they could sleep at the airport,

105
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: and that United told them that the agent they talked

106
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: to nothing that they could do. Well here, they were

107
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: told this.

108
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: Great place to be stuck in. But I mean, we're

109
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: just trying to get home, and to expect us to

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 2: just sleep in the airport for five days seems kind

111
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 2: of absurd. But you know, wow, it seems to be

112
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: the case with airline companies.

113
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: Later, I don't know, Yeah, he says we're not going

114
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: to sleep at the airport until Wednesday or Friday or

115
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: whenever they get the best. So there's obviously the bigger

116
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 1: political and world issue things going on, but for Americans

117
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: in this moment, it's quite the scene all around the Caribbean.

118
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: All right, Alex, thank you very much, you got it,

119
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: Thanks John, welcome back, Thank you Alex Stone. ABC News.

120
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: And they couldn't do this extrication. A week later on

121
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: nobody cares. Got hundreds of people who are now maroon stuck.

122
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: I guess you can do. They still have boats from

123
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: you know the refugees used to use. Oh that's right, Yeah,

124
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: that's right. I wouldn't go in a boat right now.

125
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: That's not a good idea. No, we're tourists. Yeah, sure,

126
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: there you go there. All right, we come back. We're

127
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: going to go through what happened in court today with

128
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: Maduro and his wife, and also some of the just

129
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: idiotic things that democratic leaders are saying. These are people

130
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 1: who were all for taking out Maduro five years ago,

131
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: and they were urging Maduro to somebody deal with him

132
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: because he's not really the president. There are people saying, well,

133
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: this is illegal. You can't. You can't confiscate and charge

134
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: a sitting president of a foreign country. He's not the

135
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: president legally. He just didn't he refused to leave. He

136
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: lost the election. There was an election, and he lost

137
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: it like seventy thirty. He just won't leave, and he

138
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: had the military on his side. So the US is saying, well,

139
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: he's not really the president, and they have sixty other

140
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: nations who are agreeing say, yeah, he's not the president.

141
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: So of course you can do that. Tell you all

142
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: about it when we come back.

143

Speaker 1: about Maduro going to court today after he was The

00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: as well. It was also another fire in Altadena and

157
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: that consumed many thousands of homes, killed over thirty people.

158
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: And in the Palisades, there's going to be two things

159
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: going on. There's going to be a remembrance ceremony to

160
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 1: honor the twelve who died in the fire, and there's

161
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: also going to be a demonstration and the title of

162
00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: the demonstration is they let us burn. Newsom Bass LEDWP

163
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: fire officials, California State parks, and on and on and

164
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: on the City of Los Angeles, the state of California.

165
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: They did let the Palistates burn. This absolutely did not

166
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: have to happen. This clearly was preventable. There was a

167
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: lot more news that came out over the two week break,

168
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,839
Speaker 1: which I will go through later on in the show.

169
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: It looks like the people running the fire department and

170
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: their after action investigation lied and covered up in the

171
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: final report, and the fire official who wrote the report

172
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: wanted his name off the thing because he was so

173
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: sickened by what had been done. Karen Bass is now

174
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 1: running a massive cover up operation to obscure the horrific

175
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: job that her administration did preparing and fighting the fire.

176
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 1: And now they are in full cover up mode. And

177
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you about it coming up later. But you

178
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: really ought to go and support the Palisades people. The

179
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: demonstration is going to be Wednesday. It's ten thirty in

180
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: the morning at Palisades Village at the quart of Antiochi Swarthmore,

181
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: And they have a website they let usburn dot com

182
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: and you can RSVP and get your name on the list.

183
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: I understand there's over one thousand people who've already said

184
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: they're going to it, going to attend. We are going

185
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: to be there as well. It's ten thirty in the morning,

186
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: so we're going to be recording a lot of interviews,

187
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: a lot of segments there and then playing them between

188
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: one and four in the afternoon. So we're going to

189
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: spend the morning in the Palisades and the afternoon back

190
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: here and playing you some of the conversations that we've

191
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 1: had with people and some of the highlights of the

192
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: entire event. So that's the Pacific Palisades Demonstration. They let

193
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: Us Burn, and it's going to be Wednesday at ten

194
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: thirty Palisades Village, Cornet of Antioch and Swarthmore, and they

195
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: they want they want the truth to come out, and

196
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: they want everybody to be held accountable once and for

197
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: all and get starting with Karen Bass, stop the lying

198
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: and stop the covering up. There's a lot of people

199
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: who really ought to be in jail for what went on,

200
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: starting with her. Absolutely jail. I don't know if the

201
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 1: system works that way, but if there was, there was

202
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: some kind of some kind of way to declare moral crimes,

203
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:32,679
Speaker 1: crimes against humanity. Bass and Gavin Newsom really going to

204
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: go behind bars for what's gone on. So anyway, we'll

205
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: cover that on Wednesday. Now back to Marco, Marco Rubio

206
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: and Nicholas Maduro. I'm going to play some clips of

207
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio and meet the press yesterday also a Connecticut

208
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: Senator on CNN, because there is just a huge amount

209
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: of lying and hypocrisy regarding what Trump did to Nicholas Maduro.

210
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: He is a fake president of Venezuela. He lost the

211
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: election in twenty twenty four, lost it by about seventy

212
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 1: to thirty, but stayed in office and he had the

213
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: military behind him and so he never left. And he's

214
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: a very bad guy. What he exported to this country

215
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: was endless, endless tonnage of drugs, just massive, massive amounts

216
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: of drugs. And he unleashed gangs and criminals a trend,

217
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: Dear Ragua that was a Venezuelan gang. So all those

218
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: characters made it here to the US. A lot of

219
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: drugs made it here. Thousands of people have died from

220
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: the drugs. He got voted out of office by the

221
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: Venezuelan people and wouldn't leave. So you hear people saying

222
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: you can't take a head of state from another country

223
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 1: and put him in jail. He's not the head of

224
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: state of anything, and he had an indictment against him

225
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: going back to twenty twenty, and Joe Biden even put

226
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 1: out a bounty on him. Now, a bounty is really

227
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: interesting because it means you want somebody else to do it.

228
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: Trump went out and used the military to remove Maduro

229
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: and the world is a better place. Maduro is now

230
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: behind bars. But what Biden did is put a bounty

231
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 1: on which means, Hey, if anybody wants to bother getting

232
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: Maduro out, we'll give you money, We'll give you a reward.

233
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: It's like, well, no, I don't think volunteers can remove

234
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: the fake president of Venezuela. I mean, that was like

235
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty planes that flew in. I mean,

236
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: I believe most of the armed services were represented there,

237
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: and nobody died. There wasn't a single death. It was

238
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: about as clean a removal and as quick a removal

239
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: as is humanly possible now and the military had to

240
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: do it an incredibly coordinated, well planned mission. But that

241
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: was too much for the Biden administration and so they

242
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 1: never did it. And it reminded me of something years

243
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: ago you may not remember this, but nine to eleven

244
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: happened right Osama bin Laden, and a story came out.

245
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: It's a true story that the US had Osama Bin

246
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Laden literally in their sights back in nineteen nineteen ninety

247
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 1: eight under Bill Clinton. I mean, they had a sniper

248
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: and Bin Laden was in the crosshairs, but they needed

249
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: permission from the White House to go through with it

250
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: and shoot Bin Ladden in the head. And they called

251
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: back to the White House and Clinton and his staff decided, well,

252
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: let's check with a lawyer. And the lawyer said, well,

253
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's constitutional, whether you can authorize the

254
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: killing of a citizen and a foreign country. And so

255
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: they didn't pull the trigger. Bin Laden didn't get the

256
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: bullet in the head, and we know what happened with

257
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: nine to eleven. You could spend too much time parsing

258
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: the law and the Constitution and international treaties and end

259
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: up losing a chance to save thousands and thousands of lives.

260
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just have to take action. You gotta do

261
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: what you gotta do. The lawyers didn't design a world.

262
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: The world that's designed on paper by lawyers, not the

263
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: real world. In the real world, if you have a

264
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: Binladden in your crosshairs, you pull the trigger. And the

265
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: same thing here. If you have created an operation that

266
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: could extradate Nicholas extra Nicholas Maduro without anybody getting killed,

267
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: then you just do it. Because he's not the president anyway,

268
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: and he certainly killed enough Americans with all the drugs

269
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: and the gang members that he shipped here and Christin

270
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Welker was on Meet the Press yesterday and was trying

271
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: to nail Marco Rubio on this idea that we really

272
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: had no legal right to get Nicholas Maduro, and Rubio

273
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: went at it.

274
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:47,239
Speaker 4: The Department of Justice, dating back in the Biden administration

275
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 4: that had a twenty five million dollar reward for his capture.

276
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: So we have a reward for his capture, but we're

277
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 4: not going to enforce it. That's the difference between President

278
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 4: Trump and everybody else all these It's easy to make

279
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: a wanted poster and say fifty million dollars for the

280
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: capture of but no one takes that seriously because you're

281
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: not gonna do with anything about it. President Trump did

282
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 4: something about it. As he did something about it, we

283
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 4: went in, we grabbed him. He was arrested and he's

284
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 4: now in New York. No Americans were killed, no equipment

285
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 4: was lost. It had to be done, and it's been done.

286
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 4: And I assure you the people left behind in Venezuela

287
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 4: now that are in charge of the police and everything else,

288
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,920
Speaker 4: I assure you they're going to probably be a lot

289
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 4: more compliant than Maduro was. As a result of this.

290
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: People are unnerved by Trump because he takes action. He

291
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: had said repeatedly that he wasn't going to let Iran

292
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 1: have a nuclear program, which of course many presidents have said,

293
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: and meantime they kept building their nuclear program, and finally

294
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: he said, look, last warning here, we're going to come

295
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: in there if you don't dismantle that nuclear program. Iron

296
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: didn't and what did they get a lot of bunker

297
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: busting bombs on their heads, because that's what you have

298
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: to do. Are we going to sit around and consult

299
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: with lawyers and Iran build a nuclear weapon. No, you

300
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: don't do that. You put the lawyers in the closet

301
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: and you get out the bunker busters and you destroy

302
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: their nuclear capability. That's what you do. And the same

303
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: thing with Baduro. You don't sit here and have a

304
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: roundtable discussion of Blue Ribbon Commission, a panel of experience

305
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 1: and lawyers. You just go in there with a big

306
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: chunk of the US military and fly them out of there.

307
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm going to play your Senator

308
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: Chris Murphy on CNN with Dana Bash and Murphy was

309
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: going down this road that we had no right to

310
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: do it, and then Dana Bash pulled out Murphy's own

311
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: words that he had written. Will play that clip because

312
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: it's entertaining. When we returned.

Speaker 1: feature on the iHeartRadio app and we'll play it back

320
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: at three twenty and three point fifty on Friday, where

321
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: we're continuing on the Maduro case. Here he pleaded not

322
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: guilty on all his drug trafficking charges and conspiracy charges.

323
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: He and his wife are in New York City and

324
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: they were. They appeared before a judge and Maduro declared

325
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 1: himself a prisoner of war, saying he was captured, kidnapped.

326
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: I'm innocent, I'm not guilty, says I'm still president of

327
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: my country. But remember he was not president of the country.

328
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: He illegally stole the election. There's another man who ought

329
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: to be the president right now, not him, So there

330
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: is no They're going to try to use the defense

331
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: that he can't be prosecuted because he has immunity as

332
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: the head of a sovereign nation. He's not ahead of anything.

333
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: He's just a criminal, a thug, a terrorist. And it's

334
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: pretty shocking. I would think after the thumping that the

335
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: Democrats nationally took in the twenty twenty four election, and

336
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: how many major issues they were on the wrong side of,

337
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 1: like eighty twenty issues they call him or eighty percent

338
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: of the country agrees with what Trump did and only

339
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: twenty percent of the country agrees with the Democrats on

340
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: a particular issue, you'd think after losing so many eighty

341
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 1: twenty issues, they would stop it. Instead, they got another one.

342
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: Like they thought it was wrong for us to bomb

343
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: Aron's nuclear facility, it's wrong to take away this this terrorist,

344
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: this drug kingpin. All he did is send us a

345
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 1: ton of drugs and all kinds of criminals and gang

346
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: members like trend. Dear Ragua. There's nothing good about mar

347
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: about Nicholas Maduro being alive or being free. Nothing now.

348
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: And everybody's known this for many years, and it used

349
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: to be the Democrats knew this too. Trump comes along

350
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: and agrees with them and does something about it. And

351
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 1: all these Democrats are turning on Trump and they want

352
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: to get them impeached. Had a whole article here, and

353
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: all these congress people who want Trump impeached for capturing

354
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: a guy who sent us nothing but drugs and violence

355
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: and misery and criminals. Wow, Okay, here is one of them,

356
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: Senator Chris Murphy. He goes on CNN with Dana Bash,

357
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: and Dana pulled out Murphy's own words to combat his criticisms.

358
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 5: Listen, in twenty nineteen, you wrote a not beed and

359
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 5: you called for Maduro to be gone. You said, let's

360
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 5: get one thing straight. There should no longer be any

361
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 5: debate about Maduro's lack of democratic legitim legitimacy. The Trump

362
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 5: administration is right to put restoring Venezuelan democracy at the

363
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: center of our approach to this crisis. A return to

364
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 5: a stable democracy is in the interest of the Venezuelan

365
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 5: people and the United States and the hemisphere. We don't

366
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 5: know what's going to happen with regard to the civilian

367
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 5: leadership there Tom Cotton, which is here saying that he

368
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 5: hopes that there are democratic elections. Isn't that what you want?

369
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 6: Well, the rest of that article was a criticism of

370
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 6: President Trump's early moves to saber rattle around regime change. Listen,

371
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 6: there are evil, brutal dictators all over the world. That

372
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 6: does not give the American president the right to invade

373
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 6: those countries.

374
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: He just said very clearly in writing that the guy

375
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: needs to be taken out, and he was on the

376
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: side of the Trump administration's policy data. Bash reads it

377
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: out loud, It's like, well, there's actually he was more

378
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: than it. There was a critician him in there, And

379
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 1: you know what's wrong with you? They don't They're such buffoons.

380
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: They're such fools. It's your writing. She's reading it. Let

381
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: me sit here in chuckle while I think of a

382
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: comeback there. Wow, you really parted me on that one. Dana,

383
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: what I'm maroon, I mean, unbelievable. So these other people here.

384
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: Congressman Deliat Ramirez from Illinois said that the Trump administration

385
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: quote is dragging us into an illegal, endless war so

386
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: they can extract resources and expand their wealth. What do

387
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: you mean an illegal endless war. We went in there

388
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: over the weekend. We took them. It's over.

389
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:23,360
Speaker 3: Where.

390
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: You have troops there to make sure there's no further

391
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: funny business, and the troops are going to stay there

392
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: so that the oil industry, our oil industry which built

393
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: the infrastructure in Venezuela, can rebuild it because all that

394
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: was taken away from American companies and years ago Venezuela

395
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: nationalized their oil industry and then eventually they took the

396
00:24:51,960 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: infrastructure that American companies built. So yeah, our American companies

397
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: lost billions of dollars because of what the Venezuelan president did,

398
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:13,919
Speaker 1: not only Maduro, but Hugo Chavez. Ramiro says, we must

399
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: pass ilhan Omar's War Powers resolution that asserts Congress's authority

400
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 1: and Trump must be impeached. Ilhan Omar last time I

401
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: saw her in the paper, she was connected to the

402
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: ten billion dollars worth of fraud going on in Minnesota

403
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: with the Somalians. And it appears that she married her

404
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: brother in order to get him legally so he could

405
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: have legal entry into the United States. And now she's

406
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: writing some War Powers Act to contain Trump. Wow, here's

407
00:25:53,680 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 1: another one. Cought ab bugjse La, a left wing influencer

408
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: running for office in Illinois, oh a left wing influencer

409
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: running for Congress, and kat Abu Gazela said, the President

410
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: is about to drag us into another forever war without

411
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: congressional approval. We need Democrats to grow at Effing's spine.

412
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: This man needs to be impeached, convicted, and as soon

413
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: as humanly possible. Another representative, April McLain delaney from Maryland Democrats, said,

414
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: let's be clear, invading and running another country without congressional

415
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: declaration of war is an impeachable offense, and on and

416
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: on and on. You know, if these guys were actually

417
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: in charge of things, first, we'd end up with double

418
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: the number of illegal aliens. We'd end up with exponentially

419
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: more criminals and gang members running around here. There'd be

420
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine and fentanyl, and heroin

421
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 1: being dumped into the country. That actually, the Trump administration

422
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: has dramatically cut the amount of heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine

423
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: coming into the country, and the number of fentanyl deaths,

424
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: as an example, has dropped significantly. It has Why is

425
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: this bad? I've been hearing since I was a little child.

426
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: We've got to do something about all the drugs in

427
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 1: this country. We've got to somehow stop all the drugs

428
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: from coming. In fifty years of freaking people say, you

429
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: gotta know.

430
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 7: Something about this. Oh, you know, we gotta we gotta

431
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 7: stop uh, you know, Iran from building a nuclear weapon.

432
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 7: You know, we gotta do that. Yeah, we gotta do

433
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 7: And then Trump goes and he doesn't. He closes the border.

434
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 7: He he he destroys Iran's nuclear capability. He captures the.

435
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Evil thug goon Venezuelan president who's there illegally to begin with.

436
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: So what's wrong with all that? That's perfect, that's excellent.

437
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: This is something to celebrate. Everybody crazy, everybody really is.

438
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: Everybody that's the arrangement syndrome is real. I hope he

439
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 1: does more of this. Fewer drugs, fewer drug deaths, fewer

440
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: gang members fewer victims of gang crimes. What do you want?

441
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: What is it you want? You want more drugs here,

442
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: you want more kids dying of drugs more women being

443
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: killed by raised gang members. There's wrong with you people,

444
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,479
Speaker 1: and you're running on this. You're actually running on this.

445
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: There's a whole political movement around this. Uh, all right,

446
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:00,000

456
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: about how California once again has the greatest out migration

457
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 1: numbers for the sixth straight year. You go by the

458

Speaker 1: and we have the greatest out migration of anywhere in

461
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: the name more than any other state. We have so

462
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: many people who literally are packing up and driving off

463
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: down the interstate, going to any place else but here

464
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: Texas and Florida. That's where the most people are fleeing to.

465
00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: We'll go through the list of states and Michael's going

466
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: to give us his report on it now, Loston. Well,

467
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: this actually broke early this morning, but it's kind of

468
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: gotten buried by the Maduro case. Tim Waltz, he dropped

469
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: out of the race to run for reelection third term

470
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: as Minnesota governor. He's out. This absolute clown was pretty

471
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: close to becoming Vice president and therefore potentially president, and

472
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: it turns out he was running the most either incompetent

473
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: or most corrupt operation and this side of Gavenussom. When

474
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: I first became aware Tim Waltz and his how he

475
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: the things he says, his policies, I thought, Oh, this

476
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: is Gavin Neuwsom in the Midwest, and Waltz is there

477
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: is almost no different between his set of disastrous policies

478
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: and nuisance and the corruption. Well, Minnesota much smaller state

479
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: population wise. In California, at least ten billion dollars stolen

480
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: largely by these Somali networks. And there's one reason you

481
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: should know this. The only reason is the Somalis came

482
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: here in the nineties. They were settled by the Clinton administration.

483
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: In Minnesota, they vote as a block eighty one hundred

484
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: thousand votes. They always go Democrat and Tim Waltz let

485
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: these organized Somalian crime network steal ten billion dollars and

486
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: never did anything to stop it. You could stop fraud

487
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: like this at about five minutes, you have to choose

488
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: to right. When somebody says an I am on the technology,

489
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: it's like, please, have you seen the technology of your

490
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: visa or American Express card. You can go around the

491
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 1: entire world. You can go into the juggles of Africa,

492
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: you can go to the Arctic Circle, you could go

493
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: into Siberia. You could go into an isolated island in

494
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: the Indian Ocean. You use your Visa or American Express

495
00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: card and it's zip zip zip zip charges on your

496
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 1: bill instantaneously. And I don't know about you, but I

497
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: have never seen a mistake. I have never seen a

498
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: charge I made not appear on the bill. And I

499
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: have never seen a charge I didn't make appear on

500
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: the bill. So all this can be done easily to

501
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 1: stop the fraud. They choose not to. It was Tim

502
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: Wats's pay off to the Somalians for all their votes,

503
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: at all their support. And he wanted to stay in politics,

504
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: and he wanted to be vice president, and he wanted

505
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: to be president, and he wanted to have a strong

506
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: base in Minnesota to launch. He wanted to have a

507
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 1: third term and then he was going to be running

508
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: for something nationally. That's what it is. Yeah, he sold

509
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: out to the Somalian criminals, which I think should be

510
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: means he's a criminal himself, and he's another guy to

511
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: be in jail. He ought to be sharing a federal

512
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: prison with newsoman Karen Bass. Now if they found nine

513
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: ten billion, and by the way, ninety people have been

514
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 1: charged with felonies, sixty have been convicted. So he allowed

515
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: this to fester for years and years and years. It

516
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: got to the point where there was so much evidence

517
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 1: and the convictions happened started happening under the Bidenish you

518
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: imagined how many hundreds and hundreds of some Allians were

519
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,720
Speaker 1: involved in this fraud. That's they actually got ninety charged

520
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: and sixty convicted already. Now he's behind that nice guy facade.

521
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: He's a criminal and he knows it, and that's why

522
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: he's dropping his run because I bet you, I'm just

523
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: guessing there's more bad stuff coming, right, He kept saying, Well,

524
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 1: you know we've got it covered.

525
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 7: You know I'm going to be doing an investigation, and

526
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 7: you know we got a blue ribbon PADL commission all

527
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 7: about now.

528
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: There's a ton more stuff coming, which leads me to

529
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:45,879
Speaker 1: the question. I'm going to keep asking. If there's ten

530
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: billion dollars worth of fraud just in Minnesota, largely with

531
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: one ethnic group and a set of welfare programs, what

532
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: do you think the amount of fraud in California is

533
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 1: under Gavin News? That has got to be a mind

534
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: boggling number, and we know of a lot of it already.

535
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: We know there's massive fraud in the homeless industry, tens

536
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,280
Speaker 1: of billions of dollars, massive fraud in the high speed

537
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: rail industry, tens of billions of dollars, massive fraud in

538
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:19,279
Speaker 1: the unemployment industry, tens of billions of dollars from the

539
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: COVID days, we know it exists. So when does he

540
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: When does he When does he get forced out of office?

541
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: Waltz is leaving. Now, when does Newsom go let him

542
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: both run for president? After they got served with some

543
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: justice here in California? Where are the indictments against these guys?

544
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: H do more on that later. Michael Monk's coming on

545
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: two things. He's got a special that you're going to
