1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: You got to ask yourself this question as I'm about

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: to tell you this story, what the hell was the

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: federal government doing for the last four years when it

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: came to the issue of protecting our children from sexual abuse,

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: sex trafficking and pornography. I say that because of Operation

6
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: Restore Justice. Now, the Attorney General Pambondi and the FBI

7
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: Director Cashptel announced the results of Operation Restore Justice. It

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: is a nationwide initiative targeting child sex predators. Now over

9
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: a five day period, the operation has led to the

10
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: arrest of two hundred and five individuals and the most

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: shocking part of all, the rescue of one hundred and

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: fifteen children that were being abused on a daily and

13
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: even hourly basis.

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: The scope of the operation.

15
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: Involved all fifty five FBI filled offices. The Department of

16
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 1: Justice's Child Exportation Section, and the US Attorney's offices nationwide

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: were also involved. You had notable arrests that I'm going

18
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: to go through in a moment, but I want to

19
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: play for you what the Attorney General Pambondi and the

20
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: FBI Director Cash Battel had to say at this announcement.

21
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: As they are furious that this world was allowed to

22
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,639
Speaker 1: continue not really having to worry about the federal government

23
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: coming in and stopping them. Under the last administration.

24
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: Computer and target our young children every single day. Our

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: law enforcement, our prosecutors sit there and deal with this

26
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: every day to kick these monsters off the street. Director

27
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 3: Patel and I almost daily in our meetings talk about

28
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: these cases and what it does to our officers and

29
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: our prosecutors, but also how many lives are being saved

30
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 3: and how many children are being.

31
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: Helped by this.

32
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 3: Director Pateel is going to get into the specific cases

33
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 3: with you in a minute, but what I will tell

34
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 3: you is these depraved human beings, if convicted, will face

35
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 3: the maximum penalty in prison some life. We will find you,

36
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: We will arrest you, and we will charge you. If

37
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 3: you are online targeting a child, you will not escape us.

38
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: The FBI and the Department of Justice will come after

39
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 3: you and we will prosecute you. Parents, you have to

40
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: know this is so serious. Your child has no right

41
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 3: to privacy on the internet none. You have to monitor

42
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: what your kids are doing, whether they're playing games on

43
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 3: the internet, on social media, any other websites that children

44
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: teenagers frequent. An online predator can find them. I always

45
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 3: say it's from instant message to instant nightmare.

46
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 4: Parents.

47
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: They're talking to your kids like their other children, and

48
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 3: they're not.

49
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 4: They're predators.

50
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: They pose as children, They get them sometimes to post

51
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: explicit pictures of themselves after they talk to them, and

52
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 3: then in some cases they even try to blackmail the children.

53
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: The suicide rate among teens ages fourteen to seventeen has

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: increased as a result of this as well, because teens

55
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: are taking advantage of and they're manipulated online by child predators.

56
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: So all of you being here today and covering this

57
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 3: is so important because parents need to know you've got

58
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: to talk to your kids. They think they're talking to

59
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: other children, but most of the time they're not.

60
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 4: Director Patel, thank.

61
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: You first and foremost to the Department of Justice, under

62
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 5: General Bondi's leadership and all its components. Because of your courage,

63
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: we are here today protecting are most vulnerable our children.

64
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: Thank you, General Bondi. Thank you to so many of

65
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 5: your colleagues here today that do this work tirelessly day

66
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: in and day out and never get a moment's thanks.

67
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 2: We should acknowledge all of them today.

68
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: As the FBI Director, I'm humbled to leave some of

69
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 5: the greatest men and women in law enforcement. And I

70
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 5: want to thank our fifty five field offices, our ninety

71
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 5: plus United States Attorney's offices, ours Section, our crim Division

72
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 5: here at the Department of Justice, and our field offices

73
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 5: throughout the country, with lawyers and prosecutors and agents working

74
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 5: tirelessly on some of the harshest criminality we've ever seen.

75
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 5: They don't take breaks because our children deserve a free

76
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 5: and open society. I also want to just take a

77
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 5: moment to emphasize the priority of this Department of Justice

78
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 5: and this FBI our children. If you harm our children,

79
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: you will be given no sanctuary. There is no place

80
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 5: we will not come to hunt you down, there is

81
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 5: no place will not look for you, and there is

82
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 5: no cage we will not put you in should you

83
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,039
Speaker 5: do harm to our children. The prioritization of this administration

84
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 5: in general, BONDI, has made it abundantly clear to child

85
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: predators you will be hunted down and you will be prosecuted.

86
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 5: And that is a refreshing thing to hear for the

87
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 5: men and women who do this work tirelessly, and it's

88
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 5: also an acknowledgement of the safety that we look forward

89
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 5: to bringing America. As the Attorney General mentioned, there are

90
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,160
Speaker 5: a couple of cases worth highlighting. People in places of

91
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 5: public trust have violated not only the law, but that

92
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 5: public trust, to include teachers, law enforcement personnel, and other

93
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 5: professionals that we look to safeguard our children have not

94
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: only violated the law, but violated the trust. In Minneapolis,

95
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 5: defended Jeremy Francis Plonsky, a Minneapolis State trooper and former

96
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 5: Army Reserved this was arrested for producing child sexual abuse

97
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 5: material while in uniform. Not anymore. In Norfolk, Virginia, defendant

98
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 5: Jose Alexis Valdez Sosa, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, again

99
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 5: allegedly arrested for transporting a minor across state lines.

100
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 2: No more.

101
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 5: Another example right here in Washington, d C. And the

102
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 5: Metropolitan Police Department officer Lynn Wood Barnhill, a former already

103
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 5: convicted sex offender, was arrested again for exploiting more victims,

104
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 5: more children while on supervise release. These are just three

105
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 5: examples that show you the extent and the depravity of

106
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 5: these horrific crimes, and we need to team up together

107
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 5: with the American public to find the rest I want

108
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 5: to give a special thanks to the National Center for

109
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 5: Missing and Exploited Children for the tireless work they do

110
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 5: in partnering with us. And again I want to thank

111
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 5: the Department of Justice and all these folks here and Pam,

112
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 5: thank you for never wavering to defend our children.

113
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you Director Patel.

114
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: And this ranges from we of cases from California to

115
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 3: New York to Florida, our entire country and just in

116
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 3: one week again, one hundred and fifteen victims, victims, we

117
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: have two hundred and five offenders have been charged in

118
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: one week thanks to the FBI. So think what's happening

119
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 3: throughout this country. Children are being taken advantage of and

120
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 3: we have to stop it. Thank you for covering this

121
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: very important topic today.

122
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: Thank you short sweet and to the point by the

123
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: Attorney General there. This operation is part of Project's Safe Childhood.

124
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: It is a DOJ initiative launched in.

125
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,239
Speaker 1: Six to combat child sexual exploitation and abuse. The DOJ

126
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: collaborating with the National Center for Missing Exploited Children and

127
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: is now encouraging the public to report suspected exploitation through

128
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: the established hotlines and online reporting tools. As you heard

129
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: there Some of those that were abusing these children included

130
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: a Minnesota state trooper and an Army reservist that we're

131
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: arrested for allegedly producing child sexual abuse material while in uniform.

132
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: That former Metropolitan Police Department officer in Washington, DC, previously

133
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: convicted of sex offenses charged with exploiting additional victims while.

134
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: On supervised release.

135
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: An undocumented individual from Mexico arrested in Virginia for allegedly

136
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: transporting a minor across state lines for sexual purposes. The

137
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: question that we should all be asking is where the

138
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: hell is our government protecting these kids during the last

139
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: administration and why is it now a political issue where

140
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Republicans are in favor of this and Democrats look the

141
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: other way. One thing I know for sure, I'm glad

142
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: that Pamboni and Casptel are doing this, and it's saving

143
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: people's lives and saving people from countless abuses.

144
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: Did you know that, just.

145
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: Like here in the US, Israel has their own Independence

146
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: Day In case you missed it this year, Israel's Independence

147
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: Day was a few days ago on May first. But

148
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: for the people of Israel, freedom is nothing more than

149
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: a daily struggle to survive there's no real peace, only terror,

150
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: no joy, just suffering. The Israeli government relies on the

151
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews for ongoing help to

152
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: make sure the elderly, the sick, the wounded, soldiers, and

153
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 1: impoverished families don't fall through the cracks. That's why your

154
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:36,079
Speaker 1: gift to the Fellowship will provide such important life saving aid, medicine,

155
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: hearty meals, safety and comfort. I believe that when you

156
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: bless the people of Israel, we unlock God's blessing in

157
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: our lives as well. So to show your support for

158
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: Israel's independence, you can make a life saving gift today.

159
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,400

163
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,320

164
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: people that are that are abusing children and the sex

165
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: trafficking and taking down people that are involved in it.

166
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: She's also doing a lot to save people's lives when

167
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: it comes to Fetanyl. The Attorney General, in a separate

168
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: press conference talking about the Cineloa cartel that's one of

169
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 1: the largest drug trafficking cartels in the world. They were

170
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 1: behind the largest fetanyl seizure in US history. A cell

171
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: of the Cineloa cartel operated in four major US cities

172
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: and the cartel conducted a large scale drug distribution operation

173
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: throughout the western part of the country that led federal

174
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: authorities to the largest fetanyl seizure to date. This was

175
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: shocking to see how much fetanyl was actually seized and

176
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: how many people's lives could have been taken. And because

177
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: of this, Pambondi announcing this seizure in the largest one

178
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: in US history, and here is what she had to

00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: say about it.

180
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 3: So I wanted all of these amazing, amazing agents and

181
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 3: prosecutors up here on stage because they have made the

182
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 3: largest fentanyl bust in our nation's history. And we're very

183
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: proud to announce today a historic Sineloa cartel arrest and

184
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 3: it marks the most significant victory in our nation's fight

185
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: against fentanyl and drug trafficking to date. This multi agency operation,

186
00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 3: led by DEA, with our local, state, tribal, and federal partners,

187
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 3: targeted one of the largest and most dangerous drug trafficking

188
00:11:53,840 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: and foreign terrorist organizations in our country. DEA seized eleven

189
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 3: point five kilos of fentanyl, including an astounding approximately three

190
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 3: million fentanyl pills, the largest seizure in our nation's history.

191
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 3: These are the pills in the bags right there, the

192
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: main bottom right.

193
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 4: The head of.

194
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: This organization, Sinaloa organization, here in the country illegally. Six

195
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 3: of these guys and women here in the country illegally.

196
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 3: His name is Alberto Salazar Amaya. He is the leader

197
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 3: and he was living in Salem, Oregon with him.

198
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 4: They got millions.

199
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: Of dollars cash, cars, but the drugs were.

200
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 4: In Albuquerque, Phoenix, and Utah.

201
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,479
Speaker 3: That's how insulated these drug dealer cartel leaders make themselves.

202
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 3: This was an incredible operation and that's why I wanted

203
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 3: all of you here behind me. It took months and

204
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 3: months of work investigation leading up to smaller buys, smaller

205
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 3: cases to get this massive amount of drugs and guns

206
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 3: off our streets. Five million dollars approximately in cash, thirty

207
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: five kilos of metha amphetamine, thirty five kilos of math,

208
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 3: seven point five kilos of cocaine, four point five kilos

209
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 3: of heroin, forty nine rifles and pistols, all shown in

210
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 3: the pictures, and then of course the three million pills.

211
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: These pills were stamped as oxy codone. Let that sink

212
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 3: in three million pills going on our streets. Three million

213
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 3: pills the streets of our country laced with fentanyl labeled

214
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: as oxycodone, and they were in all different strengths of

215
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 3: all within them. This operation was made possible by over

216
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 3: fifty five thousand hours of law enforcement investigation. And this

217
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: is a really dangerous job that these DEA agents face

218
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 3: every day. But they are getting very dangerous drugs off

219
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: of our streets each day. They are flooding our cities

220
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 3: with a weapon of mass destruction, fentanyl. And when we

221
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 3: catch you, like all of these individuals, if convicted, we

222
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 3: will put you behind bars. There will be no negotiating,

223
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: and we will lock you up for as long as

224
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 3: humanly possible.

225
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 4: We will not negotiate with.

226
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: Those who are killing our family members, including brothers, sisters, daughters, sons, parents, friends.

227
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 3: Everyone in this room, I guarantee you knows someone who

228
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: has been afflicted with drug addiction, and many who have

229
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: known someone who has lost a loved one because of

230
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 3: this trash on our streets. The precursors are made in China,

231
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 3: it was sent to Mexico and came right in our country.

232
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: And again six.

233
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 3: Of these individuals were here illegally. That won't shock you,

234
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 3: and we're running a massive, massive drug operation. This kind

235
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,239
Speaker 3: of success doesn't happen without extraordinary leadership.

236
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: And I want to personally.

237
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 3: Thank my friend DEA Principal Deputy Administrator, Rob Murphy, DEA

238
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 3: Al Paso Division Chief Agent in charge, Omar Arirello. I'm

239
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: killing your name, Omar, Omar Okay. And US attorney was

240
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 3: Ryan Ryan Ellison. I also want to thank again the

241
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: brave men and women of law enforcement. Last week I

242
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 3: joined them at a DEA laboratory and we went there

243
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 3: and it was truly remarkable what we saw how quickly

244
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: these cartels can manufacture and make fentanyl powder and put

245
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,160
Speaker 3: it into these pills.

246
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 4: But people need to know. Parents need to know, kids

247
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 4: need to know. This fentanyl, this bus. These three million

248
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 4: pills were oxycodone.

249
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: They put this in xanax, they put this in adderall.

250
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 3: They put this in Molli, the date drug or the

251
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: party drug, something called Molli. They put it in cocaine

252
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: and they put it in marijuana, and.

253
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: It is to get you so highly addicted that you

254
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 4: can't get off it.

255
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: Seventy five thousand Americans are dying each year because of fentanyl,

256
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 3: seventy five thousand. And that's why this is so important today.

257
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: You've got to spread the word.

258
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 4: If you know.

259
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: Anyone who is taking any recreational drugs, they need to

260
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 3: be extremely careful because there is a very high.

261
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 4: Likelihood it could be laced with fentanyl.

262
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 3: And that's one of the reasons seventy five thousand Americans

263
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 3: are losing their lives each day. It is the number

264
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:15,719
Speaker 3: one cause of death for individuals between eighteen and thirty

265
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: four in our country.

266
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 2: You listen to Pam there and you can hear it

267
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: in her voice.

268
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: She is pleading with Americans to understand, you've got to

269
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: warn your kids, You've got to warn your grandkids. You've

270
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: got to warn anybody that you know that is abusing drugs.

271
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: These pills, as she mentioned, were stamped as a pill

272
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: that you would receive from a pharmacy, and so there

273
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: are many people that.

274
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: Buy these pills. Adderall is a great example.

275
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: A lot of these overdoses come when kids will get

276
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: Adderall on the black market to keep them alert when

277
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: studying for finals.

278
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: In college.

279
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 1: We see kids that die from fetnyl overdoses from the

280
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: IVY leagues all the way down and even in high

281
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: school ring finals because you're trying to stay awake, you're

282
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: cramming for your exams. Adderall is known to keep you up,

283
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 1: help you get focused. I know a lot of people

284
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: that did not have a prescription for ad all when

285
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 1: I was in college from two thousand and four that

286
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: would borrow an adderall from a friend that had a prescription. Well,

287
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: what's happened is there's the black market for it now,

288
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: and so there's like, hey, I need a couple adderalls

289
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: for finals, and then they end up taking it and

290
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: then they're dead because it's actually a lace with fetanyl.

291
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 2: Now, the amount of feedenanyl that can kill you.

292
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: The best way I've heard described is if you if

293
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: you put your finger in an empty Sweet.

294
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: And Low package or an equal package.

295
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: And you pull it out, and a little bit of

296
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: like residue that is left in that packet after you

297
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: poured out that the Sweet and Low packet or the

298
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: equal package splendid packet, that little.

299
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: Bit of residue is enough to kill you.

300
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 1: So when they make these pills, some of them have

301
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: more fetnyl in them than others. They don't care. They

302
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: want to maximize the production as quickly. They're not a

303
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: fat lab. They're not trying to keep you safe. They're

304
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 1: trying to get you addicted and some of you die.

305
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: That's just the cost of doing business. We've got to

306
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: make sure we do a better job of telling people

307
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:14,919
Speaker 1: about this. There's another story that's really important, and it

308
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: shows you the consequences for the Biden Administration's actions after

309
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: the attack on Israel by the terrorists. And you may

310
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:31,160
Speaker 1: remember that there was a Gaza peer that the US

311
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: military was sent to build. This peer is a disaster,

312
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: and there's a new Department of Defense report that has

313
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: come out saying that it risked countless lives. In fact,

314
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: sixty two American soldiers were injured, tens of millions of

315
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: dollars wasted building Biden's failed Gaza peer. The Biden administration's

316
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: quote humanitarian mission, which was a mission many opposed. I

317
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: was one of them, to build the offshore pece and

318
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: floating causeway for quote aid delivery to Gaza, which that

319
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: much of that aid was being stolen by the terrorists.

320
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: Was more dangerous and costly than the Pentagon had publicly acknowledged.

321
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: They covered it up.

322
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: It resulted in sixty two injuries to American soldiers tens

323
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: of millions of dollars in equipment damage. According to this

324
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: new report that has come out from the Department Defense

325
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: Inspector General. The report reveals the questionable value of a

326
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: mission that costs some two hundred and thirty million. I

327
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: want to say that again, two hundred and thirty million.

328
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 1: It did not, by the way, accomplish any of its goals,

329
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: as the PEER was functional for only about twenty days.

330
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 2: This coming now.

331
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 1: From the Washington Post that's now telling you the truth

332
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 1: after lying and covering it up, this story to protect

333
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and the White House and Kamala Harris with

334
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: their reelection bid. Now, Biden gave his approval for the

335
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:06,840
Speaker 1: plan despite warnings from within the American government that rough

336
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: waves in this part of the world could make the

337
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: mission difficult or even impossible to achieve. They didn't care.

338
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: They wanted to make sure that they were anti Israel

339
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,479
Speaker 1: no matter what. The Inspector General report found that not

340
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: only were there more than two dozen watercraft and other

341
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: equipment that had major damage, that caused about thirty one

342
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: million in repairs of maintenance costs alone, but also the

343
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: Army and Navy did not meet the readiness standards for

344
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: both the equipment and the units required to carry out

345
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:39,400
Speaker 1: the mission.

346
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

347
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: They put a bunch of DEI and transgendered crap in

348
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: our military ahead of military readiness. So to be clear,

349
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: we had one peer that we need to get built

350
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: and we couldn't do it safely. We had thirty one

351
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,640
Speaker 1: million in repairs and maintenance costs from damage. The thing

352
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: was only opened for twenty days and had a lot

353
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 1: of American military personnel that were seriously injured dealing with

354
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: this failure. Now, in addition, according to the report, they

355
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: did not quote organize, they did not train, they did

356
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: not equip their forces to meet Common Joint standards quote unquote. Again,

357
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: when you have a military that is more concerned about

358
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: bringing transgendered soldiers than they do about military readiness, which

359
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: is exactly what the Biden administration wanted to do every day,

360
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: this is what you get when you actually have a

361
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: real mission. In addition, according to the report, they did

362
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: not organize, train, and equipped their forces to meet the

363
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,959
Speaker 1: Common Joint standards, on top of the fact that the

364
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 1: Transportation Command, which oversees coordination of military assets quote, also

365
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: fell short of standards in basic planning and exercises. All

366
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: of this, according to the Inspector General's report from the DoD,

367
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: Biden announced the peer mission, by the way to twenty

368
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 1: twenty four at the State of the Union address as

369
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: a proposed solution to delivered what he described as aid

370
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: directly to gods that without having to rely on Israel

371
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: land route. So, in other words, Israel is our ally,

372
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: we don't like Israel, We're gonna go against Israel. We're

373
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: gonna have Israel and basically say you're somehow the bad

374
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: guys if you respond to the Tarist attack. Remember, in

375
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 1: the hours after that attack, the White House said for

376
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: them not to respond militarily and to stand down from

377
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: defending themselves.

378
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 2: Now, we'll never forgive.

379
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: The Biden administration for that, but that was who they are, right,

380
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: That's what they believe. They hate Israel, they hate the Jews,

381
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: and they were going to stand with the terrorists and

382
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: the terarist sympathizers. Now, in addition, according to this report,

383
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: when the President announces the State Union Address, it was

384
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: to send a clear signal.

385
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: That we don't trust Israel as well.

386
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: Now, after several failed attempts, the peer mission was ultimately

387
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: abandoned a few months later in June. The Daily Caller

388
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 1: quietly reported at the time, and no one else really

389
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: was talking about it because the administration was like, well,

390
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: we got the headline to say the Union, right, we

391
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: made it clear we're not standing with Israel, so we're

392
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: kind of good here.

393
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: We're fine.

394
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: The Inspector General report also said that for years the

395
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: Army and Navy had divested watercraft and underfunded sea lift programs,

396
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: leading to the quote degraded readiness. So translation, if you

397
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: know what hit the fan and we were in any

398
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: type of rough waters or seas where we would need

399
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 1: to have something like this built.

400
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: We were screwed.

401
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: We weren't going to get it done, and it was

402
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: going to put American soldiers' lives at risk because part

403
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: of the reason why you have this readiness is actually

404
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 1: not for humanitarian aid. It's actually for making sure that

405
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: you have readiness with our troops if we need to

406
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: get basic supplies them like food, water, artillery, military equipment.

407
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on of the things that

408
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: you might need this bridge for military personnel getting in

409
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: staging areas. What we found out was we basically are

410
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: completely unprepared for this.

411
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: Now.

412
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 1: This also goes back to what I said on the

413
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 1: show yesterday with Pete Edseth, making it abundantly clear now

414
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: that we are not going to screw around with military readiness.

415
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: And this is why that Supreme Court ruling was such

416
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 1: a big deal that we don't have to deal with

417
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: all the trends issues in the military. It's not this

418
00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: is not the place and military readiness should in fact

419
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: be take present over this woke ideology.

420
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 2: And we know that we're in a bad spot.

421
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: Like that part is very very clear, Like we're in

422
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: a really bad spot. Everybody knows it, everybody understands it,

423
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: and we're correcting it.

424
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: This is just another example.

425
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: Of just how weak our military got under the Biden regime.

426
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 1: They didn't want it to be strong. They wanted America

427
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: to be weak. They didn't want us to be ready.

428
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: They wanted us to use I guess you just say,

429
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: for straight up propaganda. Like it was all about the propaganda,

430
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 1: and that was the main thing that they wanted to do,

431
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 1: was to turn the military into this experiment where it's like, hey,

432
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: let's see what happens when you put a bunch of

433
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: trainees in the military, and how that's going to work

434
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: out for us.

435
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 2: Well, we know what.

436
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: A disaster it became. But there were real lives that

437
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: were affected. Look at all of the people, the six

438
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,360
Speaker 1: to two soldiers that were injured because they were sent

439
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: in to rough seas to do an impossible job that

440
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: we weren't ready and or trained for it. Now, could

441
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: we have done this in general? Yes, I think we

442
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: could have if we were ready and trained for it.

443
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: But we were not ready and we were not trained

444
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: for it. That's the problem. And we didn't have the

445
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: resources we needed to do it safely. It was a disaster,

446
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: and they scrapped it, and they knew on the front end.

447
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: And that's the other part about this that scares, honestly

448
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: the hell out, I mean, is the fact that the

449
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: administration under the Biden regime was told like, hey, we're

450
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 1: not ready for this.

451
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: Hey, we're in a bad spot with this.

452
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: Hey you don't want to do this, Like this is

453
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: not good, this is not something that you want to do,

454
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,919
Speaker 1: and we're not prepared for this. We're not trained for

455
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: they didn't care, Folks like they just didn't give a crap.

456
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: They genuinely just said, we don't care. And I think

457
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 1: that's the most shocking part of all with this conversation

458
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: is how little they were willing to listen.

459
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: It was all a pr move. They wanted to give

460
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: the middle finger to.

461
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 1: Israel, and they were willing to risk American lives and

462
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: safety to do it in an impossible situation where a

463
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: peer that honestly should have never have been built.

464
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: Now, this Inspector General report is going.

465
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: To only I think, add to the anger and the frustration.

466
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 2: I think there's two ways of looking at this, I

467
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: really do.

468
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: I think the anger and the frustration here by many

469
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: in our military should be high. I think there should

470
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: be hell to pay for this by those that made

471
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: this decision and those that decided to just play politics.

472
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: Questions should be asked, there should be investigations. Not because
