1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: It is a scene out of a movie. 2 00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 2: Five wildfires are raging across LA and at least two 3 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: have died. And the question now is could this be 4 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:16,600 Speaker 2: a product of incompetency in government and DEI reforms putting 5 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,240 Speaker 2: people's lives in danger and now an entire city is burning. 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 1: Well, here's what we do know. The mayor is Mia. 7 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: Karen bass is in Africa as her city burns, and 8 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom has still not called in the National Guard, 9 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 2: something he did do for COVID vaccine mandates. We also 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 2: have found out that they cut the fire budget by 11 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: nearly twenty million dollars. Donald Trump also putting out a 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 2: tweet on this, saying this Governor Gavin Newsom refused to 13 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: sign the water Restoration Declaration put before him that would 14 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: have allowed millions of gallons of water from Exos rain 15 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: and snow melt from the north to float daily into 16 00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: many parts of California, including the areas that are currently 17 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 2: burning in a virtually apocalyptic way. He wanted to protect 18 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: an essentially worthless fish called a smelt by giving it 19 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: less water. It didn't work, but didn't care about the 20 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 2: people of California. 21 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: Now the ultimate price is being paid. 22 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 2: I will demand that this incompetent governor allow beautiful, clean 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 2: fresh water to flow into California. He is to blame 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: for this. On top of all of it, no water 25 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 2: for the fire hydrants. This comes back to the second 26 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 2: part of the story, and that is how is there 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 2: no water coming out of the fire hydrants? Well, maybe 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 2: we could go back in time and look at Los 29 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 2: Angeles appointing their quote very first female LGBTQ plus fire 30 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: chief with a goal, not a fighting fires and protecting 31 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: people and property. No, no, no, The number one goal 32 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: was to recruit more women and gay fires. 33 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 1: I am super inspired. Now. 34 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: She took time out of her already busy schedule to 35 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 3: tell us about her vision for the department's future, one 36 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity. 37 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: People ask me, well, what number are you looking for us? 38 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: So I'm not looking for a number is never enough. 39 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred 40 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 3: and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: ways to change that. She's quick to point out that 42 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and 43 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: brightest for the job. 44 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 4: They feel included. They feel valued and they feel part of. 45 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: A cohesive team. 46 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: But Chief also checks another box when it comes to 47 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 3: inclusivity and diversity and this department, she's a proud member 48 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: of the LGBTQ community. 49 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, oh, 50 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: I didn't even know that that was an opportunity. 51 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 2: For me, that reporting coming from NBC for LA. Now 52 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: let's get to the fire hydrant issue of no water 53 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 2: coming out of those fire hydrants that Donald Trump mentioned 54 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: in his tweet. Well, now on Fox eleven NBC, they're 55 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 2: saying it looks like a third world country. 56 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: Take a listen. 57 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 5: My heart goes out obviously that the people with their 58 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 5: homes and I'm watching the small businesses around us go 59 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 5: up in plains. You know, this is people's livelihoods. So 60 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 5: it's devastating. But what is most concerning to me is 61 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 5: our first responders, in our firefighters who are trying to 62 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 5: battle this. There's no water in the palatates, there's no 63 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 5: water coming out of the fire hiders. This is an 64 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 5: absolute mismanagement by the city, not the firefighter's fault, but 65 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 5: it's by the city. And I'm going to be very honest. 66 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 5: We've got a mayor that's out of the country, and 67 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 5: we've got a city that's burning and there's no resources 68 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 5: to put out fires. So if you look at your pictures, 69 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 5: you don't see the firefighters there because there's nothing they 70 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 5: can do. And it looks like we're in a third 71 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 5: world country here, and we've got a lot of tough 72 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 5: questions we need to ask the mayor and the city 73 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 5: council and our representatives and the county representatives. Why didn't 74 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 5: you work to mitigate this? What was your brush mitigation program? 75 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 5: I heard you earlier talking about it's been dry because 76 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 5: there hasn't been rained. That's not the biggest problem here. 77 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,720 Speaker 5: The brush up in these hills that are controlled by 78 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 5: the city and the county. I would beg you that 79 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 5: if they haven't been handled, mitigated, pruned, removed for probably 80 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 5: thirty or forty years, this was a disaster waiting to happen. 81 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 5: And what's predictable is preventable, And who's paying the price 82 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 5: or all of these people in their homes and their 83 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 5: businesses tonight? 84 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: You look at that reporting, this is a third world country. 85 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 2: So what are the takeaways? Number One in competency a 86 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 2: mayor that is out of the country in Africa as 87 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: this is happening. And number two, putting diversity, equity and 88 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 2: inclusion ahead of actually hiring the best people in a 89 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: three year plan. That is what the fire chief said 90 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 2: in the interview. Finally, it's also about follow the money. 91 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: The Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass cut the fire budget 92 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: we are now being told by twenty million dollars for 93 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: fire service for the current fiscal year and proposed. 94 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Even higher cuts than that. 95 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: As The West Side Current reported back in April of 96 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four, the mayor proposed a twenty three million 97 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: dollar cut in the fire department significantly, they said. The proposal, 98 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 2: described by Bass as a quote reset, included sixty five 99 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 2: million in cuts to our signature inside Safe Homelessness program 100 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: and increase of more than one hundred and thirty eight 101 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 2: million for the Los Angeles Police Department is well crime 102 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: has gone out of control, and then a cut of 103 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: about twenty three million for the LA Fire Department. So 104 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 2: this is what you get America when you decide to 105 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 2: put diversity, equity inclusion ahead. 106 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: Of actually doing your job. 107 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 2: And now the people are dying and the homes and 108 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 2: businesses are being destroyed in La I want you to 109 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: take a listen to Jonathan Hunted Fox News Channel as 110 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 2: he is in Pacific Palisades talking about just how bad 111 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: things are there. There is an entire condo or apartment 112 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: building behind him that is being burned to the ground. 113 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: As he is doing this report, he is wearing a 114 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 2: mask because the smoke is so bad. He has goggles 115 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 2: for his eyes because the smoke is so bad. 116 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: Take a listen. 117 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 4: Ongoing destruction of an entire neighborhood. As you look behind 118 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 4: me here the house directly in front of us was 119 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 4: a two story house just about an hour ago, as 120 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 4: you can see now reduced to nothing but rubble. And 121 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 4: if you look to the left is Brian Pan's left. 122 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 4: That is the next home down the street, a multimillion 123 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: dollar home, a huge home that one now completely ablaze. 124 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 4: Not a fire truck in site. Firefight to simply don't 125 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 4: have the resources right now to conte and you fighting 126 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 4: every one of these fires, saving every one of these properties. 127 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 4: It is a question of saving lives. And I want 128 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 4: to give you a sense of how this has gone 129 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 4: all day. We arrived here hours ago, these two. 130 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 1: Homes were on fire. 131 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 4: Then we watched as the front of these collapsed into 132 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 4: their front yards, and then the flames spread to the 133 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 4: ones we were just showing you further to the left. 134 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: It's quite an apocalyptic scene. And as you look over 135 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 4: as Brian spins up into the sky, you can see 136 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 4: the sun trying to rise there in La at what 137 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 4: is now nine in the morning, just obscured by those 138 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 4: intense clouds. We're seeing more walls collapse as we speak 139 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 4: here on this particular building. But this has been going 140 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 4: on now for close to twenty four hours, and it 141 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: has been an absolutely terrifying scene for so many families. 142 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 4: Some in the Pacific Palisades Highlands area where my daughter 143 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 4: who goes to school here by the. 144 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: Way, has friends there. 145 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 4: Family were trying to get out on what is basically 146 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 4: a one way in, one way out neighborhood. They were 147 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 4: told by firefighters, too many people are in the street, 148 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 4: a lot of people that abandoned their cars. The entire 149 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 4: street was blocked. 150 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: So they were told go back to your homes. 151 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 4: We will do our best to protect your homes from 152 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 4: the flames that are coming towards you, but we have 153 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 4: nowhere safer for you to go. So they were hunkered 154 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 4: down in the home, flames literally at their front door, 155 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 4: waiting for firefighters, who thankfully were able to eventually save them. 156 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 4: But you can imagine how terrifying this scene is. And 157 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 4: I think what is remarkable about this fire, having seen 158 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 4: so many over so many years here in southern California, 159 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 4: is we often travel thirty forty to fifty miles outside 160 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 4: of La Proper to the two areas where these fires 161 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 4: break out. This is in the heart of the city. 162 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 4: This is Pacific palis Age, a really densely packed residential neighborhood. 163 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 4: So these flames have just spread so quickly, dropping down 164 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 4: onto the trees, embers flying from the trees, flying onto 165 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 4: the roofs of homes, one home after another. As we 166 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 4: just showed you, it's like a domino effect. They just 167 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: keep going up in flames, up in flames, up in flames. 168 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: Up in flames, up in flames, up in flames. To 169 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 2: put in perspective for you, we spent our scent more 170 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 2: than two hundred and fifty billion of our tax hours 171 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 2: to Ukraine, and yet we can't even get water to 172 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 2: fight the fires in California. California has spent billions on 173 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 2: the dumbest ideas ever high speed rail literally to nowhere, 174 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 2: equity programs which we mentioned, homeless high rises, yes, they've 175 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: built high rises for homeless people, and every LGBTQ pet 176 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: project you could imagine. But when it's time for the 177 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: government to do basic things, they can't do it. This 178 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 2: is the breakdown of the social contract in LA with 179 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 2: the people of LA. And these are the consequences for 180 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 2: voting for these woke liberal life leaders. 181 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump making liberals'. 182 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: Heads explode with some simple but big ideas, one buying 183 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 2: Greenland and offering statehood to Canada the nation, and also 184 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 2: really taking the task the Panama Canal and how they 185 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 2: are screwing American ships each and every time we go 186 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 2: through that canal. 187 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: So let's start with that. 188 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 2: What did Donald Trump actually say, Well, here are his 189 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 2: thoughts on the Panama Canal and what changes he is demanding. 190 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 6: The deal was that you don't have to treat us fairly. 191 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 6: They don't treat us fairly. They charge war for our ships, 192 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 6: and they charged for ships of other countries. They charge 193 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 6: more for our navy than they charged for navies of 194 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 6: other countries. They laugh at us because they think we're stupid, 195 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 6: But we're not stupid. Anymore. So. The Panama Canal is 196 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 6: under discussion with them right now. They violated every aspect 197 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 6: of the agreement, and it's they morally violated it also, 198 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 6: and they want our help because it's leaking and not 199 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 6: in good repair, and they want us to give three 200 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 6: billion dollars to help fix it. I said, well, why 201 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 6: don't you get the money from China, because China's basically 202 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 6: taking it over. China's at both ends of the Panama Canal. 203 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 7: China's running the Panama Canal. 204 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: China's running the Panama Canal. 205 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 2: And the fact that we are paying more than other 206 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: ships to go through the Panama Canal and then them 207 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 2: demanding millions of dollars to fix it is exactly why 208 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: Donald Trump is standing up saying, you're not taking advantage 209 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 2: of us anymore. Now, this also goes back to what 210 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 2: he was saying about Canada. Let's be clear, I do 211 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 2: not believe that Canada is going to become part of America. 212 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 2: I actually think it's epic trolling by Donald Trump making 213 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: a point. You guys elected hardcore lefties like Trudeau, and 214 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 2: they have destroyed your country with extremely high taxes, and 215 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: they're not looking out for your best interests. Now, the 216 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 2: takeaway on the Canada story is pretty simple. When it 217 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: comes to Canada, the people there are now standing up 218 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,239 Speaker 2: for themselves again. This all started because of the truckers 219 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: that stood up for themselves back when they had the 220 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 2: COVID mandates. And that is when Trudeau clearly lost his country. 221 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 2: And that brings us back to what's happening in Greenland. Greenland, Well, 222 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 2: the people there, they're dissatisfied, they're not happy, and they've 223 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 2: had enough of what is going on in their country. 224 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 2: And that is why Donald Trump saying, hey, if you 225 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: want to come and be a part of what we've got, 226 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 2: we're more than happy to buy you. Now, there's also 227 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 2: the other aspect of the story the media doesn't want 228 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 2: you to know, and that is that Greenland is actually 229 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: a pretty small country with not a lot of people 230 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 2: that live there, and there's also a major problem with 231 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: how Denmark is treating them. That is exactly what Donald 232 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 2: Trump said is he also talked about if we get Greenland, 233 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 2: it is important for our national security as well. 234 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 7: Take a listen, well, we need Greenland for national security purposes. 235 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 7: I've been told that for a long time, long before 236 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,320 Speaker 7: I even ran I mean, people have been talking about 237 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 7: it for a long time. You have approximately forty five 238 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 7: thousand people there. People really don't even know if Denmark 239 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,719 Speaker 7: has an illegal right to it, but if they do, 240 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 7: they should give it up because we needed for national security. 241 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 7: That's for the free world. I'm talking about protecting the 242 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 7: free world. You look at you don't even need binoculars. 243 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 7: You look outside. You have China ships all over the place. 244 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 7: You have Russian ships all over the place. We're not 245 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 7: letting that happen. We're not letting it happen. 246 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 6: And if Denmark wants to get to a conclusion, but 247 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 6: nobody knows if they even have any right, title or interest, 248 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 6: the people are going to probably vote for independence or 249 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,679 Speaker 6: to come into the United States. But if they did 250 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 6: do that, then I would tear if Denmark at a 251 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 6: very high level. 252 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: There's a couple of different things here that are interesting 253 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 2: about what Donald Trump said, and after you listen to it, 254 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 2: you actually understand that this is not a crazy idea 255 00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 2: at all. 256 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: It's an idea that makes a lot. 257 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 2: Of sense for the people in Greenland and the way 258 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: they're being taken advantage of by Denmark right now, and 259 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 2: the dissatisfaction by the people in Greenland. And this is 260 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: actually not a crazy idea that he just randomly thought up, 261 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,240 Speaker 2: which is how the media is trying to play this. 262 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 2: How do we know that, because apparently this is a 263 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,720 Speaker 2: conversation that came up in Trump's first term in a 264 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: very real way they were talking about behind the scenes. 265 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 2: Larry Kudlow, who was in the Trump administration from sixteen 266 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: to twenty, said this on Fox Business Channel about what 267 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: the President is now proposing and how there is history 268 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: behind this idea. 269 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 8: You know, I never thought in my life I talk 270 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 8: with you about acquiring Greenland. But this is how Trump 271 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 8: changes the conversation. And it's kind of this Monroe doctrine. 272 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 9: Two point zero things tell us where by the way, 273 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 9: the Greenland conversation is not entirely not new popped up 274 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 9: in the. 275 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 8: First now I know it is there, but talked about this. 276 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 9: I was a big supporter of buying Greenland. We just 277 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 9: the clock ran out. President loved the idea. But more 278 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 9: to the point, what he's doing is defining core interests 279 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 9: of the United States, core national security interests. Greenland is 280 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 9: a very important place, not just it does have a 281 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 9: lot of rare earth minerals. Yes, but China nos and 282 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 9: around Greenland, Russia nos and around Greenland. You know, we 283 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 9: have a big air force base there. But the Arctic 284 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 9: Battle is a strategic battle, and that's why Greenland plays 285 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 9: such an important role. And it's interesting that so many 286 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 9: I mean, it's only about forty fifty sixty thousand maybe 287 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 9: people who live there, but they'd like their own independence. 288 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 9: And you don't have to buy it. You can make 289 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 9: a strategic alliance for trade and investment and so those 290 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 9: kind of things. 291 00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 1: So you have a base and economics. I mean, it 292 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 1: seems like a no brainer. 293 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 9: I think so. And you know what mister Trump is 294 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 9: doing is he's running it down. Look now we're talking 295 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 9: about the Western hemisphere and the Monroe Doctrine, which was 296 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 9: done two hundred years ago. John Quincy Adams codified what 297 00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 9: was then called the Monroe Doctrine, codified it into a law. 298 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: You have you. 299 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 9: Cannot let China run both ends of the Panama Canal. 300 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 2: You cannot let China run both ends of the Panama Canal. 301 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 2: This is actually about national security as well. When he 302 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 2: talks about that and Greenland, like notice, this is an 303 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: America First policy. Now Democrats have come out they're saying, 304 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: there's no chance in hell this is going to happen. 305 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 2: Let me let you hear what Anthony Lincoln said. Now, 306 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: this is a guy that's going to go out as 307 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 2: a disaster. This is a guy that has that is 308 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 2: leaving in disgrace. This is a guy that it was 309 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: involved in every major foreign policy disaster, including the pulling 310 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 2: out of Afghanistan, what we're now witnessing with Russia Ukraine. 311 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: And he's going to sit there like a cop professor 312 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: and be like, oh, I know better than everybody else, 313 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 2: and this is never going to happen. 314 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 10: Listen, the idea expressed about Greenland is obviously not a 315 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 10: good one, but maybe more important, it's obviously one that's 316 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 10: not going to happen, So we probably shouldn't waste a 317 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:16,240 Speaker 10: lot of time talking about it. 318 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,680 Speaker 2: You want to know why I think there's a chance 319 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: this could actually happen, it's because of these arrogant sobs 320 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: and exactly what that what was said there. 321 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 1: Representative Jeffreys, by the way. 322 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 2: Speaking on behalf of the Democratic Party, saying, the House 323 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 2: Dems believe that we're not sent to Washington as he 324 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 2: now is describing it to invade Greenland. By the way, 325 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:37,240 Speaker 2: Donald Trump didn't say anything about invading Greenland. He actually 326 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,479 Speaker 2: said by it. He didn't say invade, he said by it. 327 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: He also then said that we would seize the Panama 328 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 2: Canal by force, something that Donald Trump has also not said. 329 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 2: These are the lying liars of Washington d C. Making 330 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 2: up things. Listen carefully to the words he uses, implying 331 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 2: that Donald Trump's going to get us into two different wars. 332 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 8: What kind of dialogue have you had with the incoming administration, 333 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,040 Speaker 8: the incoming president, especially given that he'll be on the 334 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 8: hill leader today. 335 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 11: It's not my expectation to have any conversation at any 336 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 11: point today. But we are looking forward to the dialogue 337 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 11: to come in the next few weeks and thereafter to 338 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 11: find the common ground necessary in order to get things 339 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:28,239 Speaker 11: done for the American people. House Democrats believe that we 340 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 11: are not sent to Washington to invade Greenland, rename the 341 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 11: Gulf of Mexico, or seize the Panama Canal by force. 342 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 11: We were sent to Washington to lower the high cost 343 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 11: of living in the United States of America. 344 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 2: By the way, which he failed to do. If he's 345 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 2: claiming that's what it was. Well, didn't they already do that? 346 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: Wasn't the Inflationial Reduction Act supposed to fix that? Had 347 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,640 Speaker 2: Kim jeffries, you don't know why you're the minority leader 348 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 2: and not the majority, the speaker of the else. It's 349 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,239 Speaker 2: because you guys failed. But I go back to what 350 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 2: was said there. Donald Trump never said we're gonna go 351 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: take the Panama Canal by force and we're gonna invade Greenland. 352 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,200 Speaker 2: That is just a lie. And if the media didn't 353 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 2: suck at their job, they would have immediately interrupted him 354 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 2: and said, well, Speaker, that's not what he said. 355 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 1: That's not what he said at all. That's not what 356 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: he proposed, that's not what was said on any of this. 357 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,439 Speaker 2: But they let him put out the propaganda and the 358 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 2: lies and get ready because they're never gonna stop when 359 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: Trump is in office. All right, Finally, I want to 360 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 2: get to something else that is on my list that 361 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,160 Speaker 2: the media is not covering, and it's a big news story. 362 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 2: Joe Biden has now confirmed very quietly because they're hoping 363 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 2: you guys aren't paying attention, that he is willing and 364 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: weighing two different pardons, preemptive pardons, for two people that 365 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: have not been charged with any crimes. If that doesn't 366 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 2: sound shady as hell, I don't know what is shady. 367 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 2: Joe Biden saying Liz Cheney and doctor Anthony Fauci may 368 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:10,480 Speaker 2: need those preemptive pardons. President Joe Biden's agreeing to the 369 00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 2: idea in an interview that he gave with the USA 370 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 2: Today's Susan Page. Receiving a preemptive pardon would indicate an 371 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: admission of guilt, although some Democrats claim a preemptive pardon 372 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: would only be intended to block President elect Donald Trump 373 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 2: from quote cleaning up Washington d C. In the interview, 374 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 2: Biden said preemptive pardons are on. 375 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: The table for his allies. 376 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 2: That would obviously include the Biden crime family members and. 377 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: Their business associates. 378 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 2: That may be the reason why he's willing to give 379 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 2: a pardon to Cheney and Fauci, because that, in theory, 380 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: could become the story. Biden said he is quote considering 381 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 2: preemptive pardons for public figures such as and he said, 382 00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 2: Republican Congresswoman Liz Chaneing and When Biden met with Trump 383 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 2: in the Oval Office a week after the November elections, 384 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: he urged the President elect not to go forward with 385 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 2: the threats to target those, he said in the interview 386 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 2: who have criticized him in Cheney's case, helped lead efforts 387 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 2: to actually impeach him. 388 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:14,959 Speaker 1: Quote. 389 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 2: I tried to make clear that there was no need 390 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 2: and it is counterintuitive for his interest to go back 391 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 2: in try to settle scores. Biden said, he's the same 392 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: guy that's in charge of a party that tried to 393 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: imprison Donald Trump, tried to take him out, take all 394 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: of his money. In fact, it's the same guy that's 395 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 2: having other Supreme Court right now because Democrat activists under 396 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 2: Joe Biden have been coming after him in other cases. 397 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: I'll explain that in a moment. But Biden said after 398 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 2: he said, you know, I'm trying to tell this guy 399 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: to be mature and don't try to settle scores. How 400 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 2: did Trump respond? Ysayday asked him. Biden's response, he didn't say, no, 401 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 2: I'm not going to you know, he didn't reinforce it. 402 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: He just basically listened. 403 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 2: White House lawyers quote are studying preemptive pardons, which Biden 404 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: discussed with senior aides, According to multiple establishment media reports, 405 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 2: Democrat and Media allies are urging Biden publicly in the 406 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: last several weeks to pardon many of his comrades, including 407 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 2: mart Milly, Christopher Ray, that'd be the FBI director, Justice 408 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: Department lawyers, Joe Biden himself, the whole Biden family, Liz Cheney, 409 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,399 Speaker 2: Representative Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Kinzinger quote unquote, among others. 410 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 2: In other words, if you were doing things that were 411 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,200 Speaker 2: against the law in the name of the communist socialist 412 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 2: Marxist Democratic Party, then you deserve to get a get 413 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,400 Speaker 2: out of jail free card preemptively. 414 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: Quote. Biden can give them a pardon if he wants to. 415 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 2: That is what Trump told NBC News Kristen Welker in 416 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: an interview, And maybe he should, He went on to say, why, 417 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 2: because well, he knows that they've been up to no good. Now, 418 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: this is all happening as Donald Trump is now being 419 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: forced to ask us the Supreme Court of the United 420 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 2: States of America, to block his sentencing in the hush 421 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 2: money case. This has clearly gotten completely and utterly out 422 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,639 Speaker 2: of control. President elect Trump on Wednesday officially asked the 423 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 2: Supreme Court to pause his sentencing and the New York 424 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 2: hush money case. Trump sentencing is scheduled for Friday morning. 425 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 2: He says it clearly violates the president elects presidential immunity, 426 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: as outlined in a Supreme Court decision in July that, 427 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: according to Trump's legal team, allowing the sentencing to move 428 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: forward would be a quote grave injustice and harm to 429 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,479 Speaker 2: the institution of the presidency and the operations of the 430 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 2: federal government is what Trump's lawyers have officially written. President 431 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: Trump's legal team filed the emergency petition with the United 432 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 2: States Supreme Court asking the court to correct the unjust 433 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: actions by New York courts and stop the unlawful sentencing 434 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: in the Manhattan DA's which hunt is so what Trump's 435 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 2: spokesman said, referring to the Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Now, 436 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court's historic decision on immunity, the constitution and 437 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 2: established legal president mandate that this meritless hoax be immediately dismissed, 438 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: is what they wrote in the filing. The legal filing 439 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: states that the hush money case and Trump's conviction on 440 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 2: these quote thirty four fellony accounts is on poor legal footing. 441 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: Part of the evidence used at trial to secure the 442 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 2: conviction was based on official acts of the president and 443 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: should have been shielded from the court case. 444 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: Altogether. 445 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: These include, without limitation, they said, statements issued through his 446 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 2: official presidential Twitter account to the American people in twenty eighteen, 447 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 2: statements to the press and official presidential media appearances, documentary 448 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 2: evidence reflecting the official presidential actions, and testimony of former 449 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: White House employees regarding the official actions taken by President 450 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 2: Trump during his first term as president. The filing states, now, 451 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,639 Speaker 2: this is a major pushback from Donald Trump. The legal 452 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 2: team also argued that legal immunity for sitting presidents covers 453 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,720 Speaker 2: the transition period between the election and when a president 454 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: assumes office. That's exactly why they've tried to rush this 455 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 2: up to Friday, because they're trying to nail him before 456 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 2: he actually takes the oath of office January the twentieth, 457 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: quote the doctorate of sitting president immunity shields Trump from 458 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 2: criminal process during the brief but crucial period of presidential 459 00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 2: transition while he engages in the extraordinary, demanding task of 460 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,719 Speaker 2: preparing to assume the executive power of the United States 461 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 2: of America. The filing also states, again they're going back 462 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: to this is unprecedented. 463 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: This is a witch hunt and everybody knows it now. 464 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: Supreme Court Justice Sauta my Orb ordered Alvin Bragg's office 465 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: to respond to the Trump team's filing by ten am 466 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 2: on Thursday. The Trump team made the emergency appeal to 467 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 2: the Supreme Court a day after the New York Appeals 468 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,479 Speaker 2: Court rejected what is described as a similar petition now 469 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 2: an illegal filing to the appeals Court, Bragg's office argued 470 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,479 Speaker 2: that Trump, as president elect quote, has no viable claim 471 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 2: a presidential immunity from the ordinary criminal process. Prosecutors for 472 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: Alvin Bragg's office went on to say that Trump is 473 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 2: not yet engaged in any official presidential functions that would 474 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,040 Speaker 2: be disrupted by the sentencing. Now, the reality is, we 475 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 2: all know that when you're coming into office and you 476 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,440 Speaker 2: are the president elect, the whole world changes the way 477 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 2: that they treat you, including by the way our Secret 478 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: Service they treat you with protections like you are the 479 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 2: president of the United States of America. Why do you 480 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 2: think all these world leaders are coming to meet with 481 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 2: him at mar Lago. Why do you think he's on 482 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 2: Capitol Hill today meeting with congressional leaders. Why do you 483 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 2: think the media is covering it because the idea that 484 00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 2: he's somehow just a normal guy right now is absurd 485 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 2: and everyone knows that, and even our Secret Service admits 486 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,880 Speaker 2: it by the way that they protect you after election day. 487 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 2: Now President of the United States, Trump also make it 488 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 2: clear with the Supreme Court that this is something that 489 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 2: is nothing more than harassment, and I couldn't agree with 490 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: him more. And then legal filing to the Appeals Court, 491 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 2: Brag's off as saying, well, Trump isn't really the president yet. 492 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,400 Speaker 1: I don't think that's going to go very far. Now. 493 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 2: The other question, as Trump asked the Supreme Court to 494 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 2: block his sensing in a touch money case as this, 495 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 2: will this have political ramifications for the Democrats. They lost 496 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,239 Speaker 2: an election, they lost it and everybody knows they lost it, 497 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: and now this looks like nothing more than straight up warfare. 498 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: I don't know if Alvin Bragg and the Democrats really care. 499 00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,080 Speaker 2: I think what they look at here is this is 500 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 2: an opportunity to get Trump off of this game. This 501 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 2: is an opportunity to make him look like a criminal 502 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 2: as he's taking office, to hurt him day one when 503 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 2: he goes into office.
