1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: All right, News, roundup, Information Overload Hour. Here's our toll 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: free telephone number. It's eight hundred and ninety four to 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: one sean if you want to be a part of 4 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 1: the program. 5 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:10,400 Speaker 2: So it was very interesting to watch. 6 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: There was a feature in the New York Post about 7 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and over the course of her very long 8 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: career in Congress, had a whopping return of just shy 9 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: of seventeen thousand percent, outperforming pretty much, you know, every 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: major market, every private equity firm, every investment firm in 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: the entire country, by a long shot, went from a 12 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: net worth of three million dollars to two hundred and 13 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: eighty million dollars. We did call over to her office 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: and the answer was, well, that would be her husband 15 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: that does the investing. A lot of people question, well, 16 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: is it possible that maybe the husband had information that 17 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: other Americans may not have. People are very suspicious. There 18 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: are a lot of suspicious people in this world, and 19 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: frankly for good reason, especially when you're looking at money 20 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: and you're looking at a massive return such as she has. 21 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: You know, and here's what got so interesting to me is, 22 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: you know, she doesn't personally own any stocks. Let's start there, 23 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,920 Speaker 1: but it's her husband. A seventeen thousand return net worth 24 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,520 Speaker 1: as a family three million grows to two hundred and 25 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: eighty million. Wow, for being in a public service role. 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: And she can say, Okay, my husband did all this, 27 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,839 Speaker 1: My husband did all this. You know there are there's 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:35,119 Speaker 1: an entire group of people because every elected official has 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: to publicly file financial information and disclose what stocks they own, 30 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: what stocks they've invested in. And let's put it this way, 31 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: there's a whole group of people and a whole application 32 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: you can download where you can follow Nancy Pelosi's investments 33 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: and make the investments yourself. And apparently, you know it's 34 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: it's been an amazing bed Over the last year. The 35 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: portfolio went up of whopping thirty two point five percent, 36 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: outperforming traditional investment strategies. Autopilot's CEO Chris Josephs, in an interview, 37 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: said Pelosi's newly announced retirement is bittersweet. No other politician 38 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: meant so much to this community of stock watching finance junkies. 39 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: And as good as Pelosi's been for business, he wants 40 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: a ban on politicians trading stock. He created the tracker 41 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: as a marketing tactic, but also to call attention to 42 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 1: the issue. He said, we thought, we know, what better 43 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: way to call out the hypocrisy than to literally trade 44 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: alongside them. And anyway, the Pelosi tracker got set up. 45 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: The Ethics and Government Act requires members of Congress to 46 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: disclose their own and their spouse's sales and purchases of stock. 47 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: I mean, an almost seventeen thousand percent return, and that 48 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,639 Speaker 1: increase in net worth is pretty staggered. Congressman Chip Rowley, 49 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: who's now a candidate for Attorney General in Texas, is 50 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: pushing for the rule of law in Congress again by 51 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: removing the right to trade individual stocks to spending our 52 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 1: tax dollars on illegal immigrants and a bunch of other things. 53 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: I'd say that's a pretty good return on her investments. 54 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: I'd say she's one of her husband's one of the 55 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: best investors I've ever heard of. 56 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: I mean, it makes Warren Buffett blush. 57 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 3: I would assume, Yeah, it's pretty it's pretty extraordinary. Sean. 58 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: Great to be on the show, and this is something 59 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 3: we've been observing a long time. And you know, as 60 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 3: all these jokes, I mean, I joked when Nancy Pelosi 61 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 3: announced her retirement, like how on Earth are people going 62 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 3: to know how to invest their stocks because you know, 63 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 3: following her was better than watching CNBC or Fox Business 64 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: or anything else. And look, we can joke about it, 65 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 3: but it really does reduce or eliminate trust in Congress 66 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 3: for the American people. And a lot of people use 67 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: the term insider trading, and yeah, that's a problem, and 68 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: it's certainly something that is driving our desire to pass 69 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: legislation to fix it. But the real thing is is 70 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 3: that it calls into question what your votes are. It 71 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: calls into question when you're making decisions on the Flooring Committee. 72 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: Let's say you've got a big position in Google and 73 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 3: you're having a big debate and the Judiciary Committee about 74 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 3: anti trust or breaking them up. Or you own a 75 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 3: lot of Palenteer or some big defense stock and you're 76 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: voting in defense or in appropriations about defense spending. I 77 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: don't think there should be conflicts of interest that are 78 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: that nakedly obvious. And this isn't that hard. There's three 79 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 3: hundred and thirty million Americans. There's four hundred and thirty 80 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: five of us in Congress, five hundred and thirty five. 81 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 3: When you have the Senate, I think you can pause 82 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 3: for a little bit. Come be a public servant. If 83 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 3: you want to betray, go going back home. So we 84 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 3: introduced legislation in twenty twenty on a bipartisan basis to 85 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 3: address this. I'm thankful that now five years later, we've 86 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: gotten a bigger coalition. We introduced a version that is 87 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 3: a bigger bipartisan block with ninety co sponsors. We had 88 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: a hearing on it yesterday, which is great. But now 89 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 3: we need Republican leadership to drive this train forward and 90 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,239 Speaker 3: deliver a result. We got to stop this day training 91 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: among members of Congress so we can restore trust. 92 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 1: Now you are also you've announced the Pause Act, which 93 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: would freeze all immigration into the US until you reform 94 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 1: chain migration and H one B visas, eliminate birthright citizenship. 95 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 1: And how is that going in Congress? 96 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: Well, we had an initial fantastic response, a lot of 97 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 3: people in my colleagues that are jumping in board and 98 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 3: could sponsoring it, a great response across the country. You know, 99 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 3: I announced it last week that we were going to 100 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 3: do it. We couldn't get it drafted because the shutdown 101 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 3: with the lawyers or Legislative Council. But we got it 102 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 3: done this week we introduced it, and look, I don't 103 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 3: mean to say that it can't be tweaked or amended, 104 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 3: but the concept I think is very popular. Like let's pause, 105 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 3: let's push pause. We have fifty one million foreign born 106 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 3: people in this country. That's almost sixteen percent of the population. 107 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 3: That's the highest percentage we've ever had. And we got 108 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: to look at what happening to our country. We've got 109 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 3: American workers who need jobs. We've got forces that are 110 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: driving up the price of goods. We've got people who 111 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 3: are coming here who want to change our laws, people 112 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: who want to embrace your re alon undermine our constitution. 113 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 3: We've got people here who are dangerous. We need to pause, 114 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: We need to stop. The President is doing an extraordinary 115 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,360 Speaker 3: job with the leadership of Tom Home and the Steven 116 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 3: Miller and Secretary Nome freezing the flow at the border. 117 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 3: They've done a great job with that. Ice is removing 118 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: a lot of bad actors. Now, let's revamp our legal 119 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 3: immigration system that has been abused to create massive pockets 120 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 3: of Somalies and people who are coming here in advancing 121 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 3: shre al and undermining our country. And you and I 122 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 3: have talked about that issue before, and I think we 123 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: need to freeze immigration and then let's fix it right now. 124 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 3: By the way, it still allows tours visas. We can 125 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,039 Speaker 3: have a conversation about what to do with some of 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: these things, but let's reform or eliminate or change h one. 127 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 3: V's end diversity, MiG visas and chain migration. Let's fix 128 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 3: things like birthright, citizenship and the magnets that cause people 129 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 3: to come here. Then we can have insane conversation about 130 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: the guest workers and other stuff. But Lord knows we 131 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: can afford a freeze. You know, back when we had 132 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 3: the big boom in the early nineteen hundreds of immigration, 133 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: in nineteen twenty or so, we kind of stopped and 134 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 3: we caught our breath and for about thirty or forty 135 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: years we kind of regroups. We need to make sure 136 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: people are assimilating, buying into the American dream rather than 137 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 3: changing it. The melting pot means that you buy into America, 138 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: you don't come here to change it. 139 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: So last night on TV I had Texas Governor Greg Gabbott. 140 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: I know you're friends with them, and he has taken 141 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: a stand against the group care in the Muslim Brotherhood. 142 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: He signed a proclamation declaring them both foreign terrorist organizations 143 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,239 Speaker 1: in Texas, citing what he called actions taken to support 144 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: terrorism around the world, and you know, care pushback. They 145 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: put their Texas chapters saying that they are proud of 146 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: their record of standing up for free speech and religious 147 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: freedom and justice for all and not going to be 148 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: intimidated by smear campaigns launched by quote the Israel First 149 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: politicians like Greg Abbott. No, I know Greg Abbott. He's 150 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: a Texas First governor period and a sentence now just 151 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: for the record. The same group that was identified as 152 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: an unindicted co conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism 153 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: financial financial trial, their national executive director following the horrific 154 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: terror attacks on October seven, said, the people of Gaza 155 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: only decided to break the siege the walls of the 156 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: concentration camp on October seventh, And yes, I was happy 157 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: to see people breaking the siege. Then the government, then 158 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: the governor before we had him on last night, said 159 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: he's investigating sharia courts in Texas. 160 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 2: There's sharia courts in Texas well. 161 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: It's a great question. The governor made that point, I think, 162 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: and said it to you. I think that he knows 163 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 3: that they're in fact Sharia courts. He sent a letter 164 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 3: in which he sent it to the DA's in tom 165 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,319 Speaker 3: County in Dallas and the sheriff and said, look, you guys, 166 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 3: go find these courts that are operating in direct conflict 167 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 3: with our laws, and then let's go shut them down 168 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 3: and issuing is executive. That executive order with respect to 169 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 3: CARE and the Muslim Brotherhood is really important because it 170 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 3: unlocks tools that the legislature provided to ban the purchases 171 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 3: of real estate, dirt, and other assets in Texas by 172 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 3: people that are declared to be affiliated with terrorist organizations. 173 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 3: And look, Care is very obviously affiliated with terrorist organizations. 174 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 3: They've got leadership that were a part of the Holy 175 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,439 Speaker 3: Land Foundation case that you'll remember Sean from twenty five 176 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: years ago, all the way back in the Bush administration. 177 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: DOJ went after them and unlocked the extent to which 178 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 3: they were tied to terrorists. Some of their folks they 179 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 3: have an unindicted co conspirator that's at the top leadership 180 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: in Care. Care was extolling the October seventh attacks on Israel. 181 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 3: I can go down a laundry list of other things. 182 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: Recent reporting two days ago in the New York Post 183 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 3: of Care's affiliation with these groups that have been on 184 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: college campuses that were you know, riling up all the protests, 185 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: all associated with terrorist groups. And look, we've got to 186 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 3: fight this stuff. And God blessed Governor Rabbit for doing that. 187 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 3: We need to step on the gas. Not just Epic City, 188 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 3: not just these things that grab the headlines, but we 189 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: need to actually have a concerted effort to stop the 190 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: advancement of sharia law. And the governor took a great 191 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 3: step in that direction. 192 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: You're running for this is your last term in Congress. 193 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: My understanding is a friend of mine is leading the 194 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: way to replace you in your district.

And how are you looking 199 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: in your race? 200 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate the question. Yeah, I know Mark.

These are 219 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: all reasons why, look, Sean, I could stay in Congress 220 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 3: and keep fighting here.

Ben Shapiro, Glenn Beck 256 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: and others. 257 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 3: Well, it's Sean.

Was our nominee, we crushed 271 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,199 Speaker 3: it last year, and now he's crushing it as president. 272 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: I'm honored to work alongside him, big fan, working with 273 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 3: his team. Some of my best friends in the administration, 274 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 3: people like Russ Vote, the head of omb Tom Hoeman 275 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: is a dear friend who's obviously kicking butt on the border. 276 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: This president is doing great things. But Congress, we got 277 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,920 Speaker 3: to deliver. We've got another year. We've got to deliver, 278 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 3: win the midterms, and then two more years of deliver 279 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 3: set up a twenty eight election. We need twelve years. 280 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 3: We got to clean up this mess, and we've got 281 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 3: to step on the gas and get in behind the 282 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 3: president to deliver. And I think if we do that, 283 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 3: we can win, and we can create a whole new 284 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 3: generation of Conservatives. In the spirit of Charlie Kirk and 285 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: everything that he gave, and he gave his life for 286 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 3: in talking about his faith, talking about freedom, let's inspire 287 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 3: a new generation. I think the president's setting the fields 288 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 3: with that. 289 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: Well said, and I support your race for Attorney general.

And because they decided to 332 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,919 Speaker 5: spring this on us in real time, I wanted the 333 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 5: Republicans to think about what could potentially happen because I 334 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 5: knew that they didn't even try to go through the FEC. 335 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 5: So my team what they did is they googled, And 336 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 5: that is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Republicans, 337 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,919 Speaker 5: I at least don't go out and just tell lies 338 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 5: because it was not the same one. That's fine. But 339 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 5: when Lee Zelden had something to say, all he had 340 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,200 Speaker 5: to say was it was a different Jeffrey Jeffrey Epstein. 341 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 5: He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein, 342 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 5: So at least I wasn't trying to mislead people. Now, 343 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 5: have I dug in to find out who this doctor is? 344 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 5: I have not, So I will trust and take what 345 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 5: he says is that it wasn't that Jeffrey Epstein. But 346 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 5: I was not attempting to mislead anybody. I literally had 347 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 5: maybe twenty minutes before I had to do that debate. 348 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 6: Yeah, but people might see that day. Well, you're trying 349 00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 6: to make it sound like he took money from I 350 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 6: did not know registered sex offender. 351 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 5: No, but I literally did not know. 352 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: That's an accident, right, we should It's it's like Sandy Burglar, 353 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: the burglar you know when remember he went into the 354 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: National Archives for Bill Clinton after nine to eleven, and 355 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 1: you know. 356 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 2: It was he was being sloppy. 357 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 1: He was just being sloppy, Linda when he put, you know, 358 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: all of those secret documents in his pants and his socks. 359 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: This is a case of sloppiness, I'm sure careless. 360 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: Sloppy sloppy about it. 361 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 4: Can you imagine if that same sort of you know, 362 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 4: leeway was given to the right. It's mind blowing to me. 363 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 4: I'm like, the guy's got files in his underwear. Like, guys, 364 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 4: this is not hard. It's really not. 365 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: By the way, I would imagine if you're being sloppy, 366 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: I'm sloppy. Everybody sloppy, you know, is spy when I'm 367 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: not either. I hate I hate messes. But is it 368 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: really sloppiness when you take archives that you illegally that's 369 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: illegal to take out of the National Archives and you 370 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,639 Speaker 1: shove it down your crotch? How do you describe that 371 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: as sloppy exactly? And they got away with it. 372 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 4: That's a problem. But see the reason they get away 373 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 4: with it is because they have all their buddies and 374 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 4: cronies in the positions of power that they need in 375 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,439 Speaker 4: order to say that's all good. 376 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: He didn't me either. 377 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was sloppy like that, and he was shoving 378 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 1: documents down about it. They would have been you know, 379 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: they would have pants. 380 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 4: He doesn't need to do anything, just like Leez Elden 381 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: didn't do anything, and she's burying him. And the problem 382 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 4: is is where do you go to get your good 383 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 4: name back? I mean, the guy who donated to Leez 384 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 4: Elden had been dead. 385 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: He was dead. 386 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: Ray Donovan was investigated in the Reagan years for years 387 00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: and years and then he was exonerated, and he comes out, 388 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: Where do I now go to get my good name back? 389 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 1: And the answer to that question is you don't get 390 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: it back. The smears, the slander, the besmirchmant the attacks. 391 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: All right, it's facts were busy, it's great, it's gross. 392 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 1: I mean, who wants to be in politics. Nobody, nobody's 393 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: I don't know why people do it. I'm glad some do. 394 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: Joy in my free state of Florida.

I mean 404 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: what's so amazing is how quickly that Zorn Marxist Kami Mamnani. 405 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: Now apparently there's going to be some meeting or meet 406 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 1: up with President Trump at the White House tomorrow. That 407 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 1: ought to be interesting. I almost feel like flying in 408 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 1: for it just to watch it. In real life, that 409 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: would be quite entertaining.

And so I try to do that. 487 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 7: And indeed, that's kind of my motive in calling today, 488 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 7: which is a lot of people are upset and how 489 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 7: that you know, you know, they see all the wild accusations. 490 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 7: Back on the first No King's Day, I went to 491 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 7: the No King's rally in Southern Pines here and I 492 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 7: asked the if I could speak on the other point 493 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 7: of view.

I was wearing a grateful dead t 496 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 7: shirt that said make America Grateful again, and so that 497 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 7: got them the lower their garden. I said, yeah, here's 498 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 7: my grateful bad t shirt. My constitutional law professor was 499 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 7: Ruth Vader Ginsburg Gay, and I've got good news for 500 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 7: you. You're wrong. I've read the statute and what President Trump 501 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 7: is doing as legal and they didn't quite know what 502 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 7: to do with me. But you know, what I want 503 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 7: to get to today is about the Venezuelan thing. 504 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 3: As I looked. 505 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 7: Into things a bit, I have a bit of a background, 506 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 7: and so it starts with Article one, Section eight, Claws 507 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 7: ten of the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to 508 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 7: define and punish piracies and felonies committed on the high 509 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,880 Speaker 7: seas and offenses against the law of nations. An example 510 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 7: of that would be the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act 511 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 7: forty six USC. Seventy fifty and sequence ran this by 512 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 7: a friend of mine who is a special agent for 513 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 7: the DEA to make sure I was getting this right. 514 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 7: And you know, it lays out the procedure. Is the 515 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 7: vessel in question an American flag, is it a foreign flag, 516 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 7: is it a state? Is it unflagged entirely? And so 517 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 7: there's all kinds of processes and so forth. But the 518 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 7: Supreme Court's rule that the jurisdiction on the high seats 519 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 7: can be defined even without violence and predation of piracy, 520 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 7: which would seem to be applicable here. And so you know, 521 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:36,119 Speaker 7: everybody is seen over the years, or the drug boats 522 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,639 Speaker 7: are stopped and so forth. But where we're going here 523 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 7: is with what President Trump did with his declaration of 524 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 7: the marcocartels. As here I have what was the exact 525 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 7: that it was back in January, I think, and so 526 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 7: the r the yeah, January twenty fifth, And so with 527 00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 7: that we go into a different legal category, which is 528 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 7: transition to counter terrorism mode. And so that is going 529 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 7: to tap into the existing authorized use of military forces, 530 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 7: such as the one in two thousand and one, which 531 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 7: have been affirmed by the courts an extent to non 532 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 7: state actors posing imminent threats. So, for example, think of 533 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 7: all the hits that President Obama did with the drones. 534 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 7: And so the DOJ's assertion is that the emminent scrap 535 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 7: for Article fifty one of the UN Charter is the 536 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 7: American death resulting from the doug trade, and the territorial 537 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:35,120 Speaker 7: invasion or a congressional war declaration is not required. 538 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,680 Speaker 1: The press, Well, that's a good point about you making 539 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 1: about Obama and the drone strikes. I have a really 540 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 1: great story that I've never told, and I'm not sure 541 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: when i'll tell it, but I'll tell it one day. Linda, 542 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: you know exactly what story I'm telling talking about And 543 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: on a scale of one tool one hundred, how great 544 00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 1: is that story. 545 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 2: It's a great one. 546 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 4: That's why it's untold. Your whole it for the right moment. 547 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: Well, I'm holding it because I don't want to draw 548 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,080 Speaker 1: attention to the underlying issue behind it. 549 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 2: And you know, let's just put it this way. 550 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: Had to do with a threat against me and my family, 551 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: but I'll save that for another day.
