You know, Memorial Day weekend, so many 9 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: people just sing of it as a Monday off, a 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: three day weekend, a time to you know, hang out 11 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: with family and friends and cook out, and that is 12 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: certainly a part of the tradition. But one of the 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: things that I just want to make sure we take 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: a moment and pause is remind everyone in your family, 15 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,879 Speaker 1: your kids, and your grandkids that this day is about 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: so much more than just a Monday off. This day 17 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: is about honoring those that have fought and protected and 18 00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: defended and given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. And 19 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: that is something that is so important that we not 20 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: lose that opportunity to talk to our kids and our 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 1: grandkids about it. I am going to be doing that 22 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: today and honoring veterans as I cook out having some 23 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: incredible American heroes over in my little way of saying 24 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: thank you, and I hope that you will do the 25 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: same to anyone that you know that service country, thank 26 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: them for their service to what they have done. And 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,200 Speaker 1: I hope that you have a fabulous Memorial Day with 28 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: your family and your friends. And to many who are 29 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 1: going to be sad and have a somber moral day 30 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: remembering their loved ones that they've lost, don't forget them 31 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: because today as we're grilling out, many of them are 32 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: going to be visiting their loved ones in their funeral 33 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: homes where they have laid to rest. And that is 34 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: something that I will never forget, having family and friends 35 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: of love people serving this country, and that is what 36 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 1: they do on Memorial Day. Let's not forget the ultimate sacrifices. 37 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: With that being said, also, I know so many of 38 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: you are traveling. Be safe on the road. And here 39 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: are some of the big subjects at the center, and 40 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: I talked about this past couple of weeks that I 41 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: want to make sure you hear about Center. Let's talk 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: about the bigger overview picture. We have known for quite 43 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: some time, but it's really come out recently that there 44 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: was a lot of money coming in from foreign nations 45 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: that are avisaris US into college campuses. We now see 46 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: what they were buying, which was they were buying influence 47 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: over a generation. We see massive donations that went into 48 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: the Biden Pen Center, for example, directly from China. And 49 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: now we're saying that it's not just buying influence to 50 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,239 Speaker 1: change hearts and minds of college students at the Ivy 51 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: Leagues and other schools. But now they moved into direct 52 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: activism with these campus protest which seems to be phase 53 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: two of their plan. 54 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 2: Ben That's exactly right. There's a major report that came 55 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: out on Monday this week from NCRI. NCRI is the 56 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: Network Contagion Research Institute. This is the same group that 57 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 2: put out the empirical studies of TikTok and how the 58 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 2: Chinese Communist government was pushing communist propaganda on TikTok and 59 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 2: it led to ultimately Congress passing the legislation forcing the 60 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 2: Chinese Communist government either to sell TikTok or shut down 61 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 2: in the US. So NCRA is CRI rather, there's a 62 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: serious organization that does serious research. The report they put out, 63 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: I want to go into it in detail because it's 64 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: getting very little coverage and it should get a lot 65 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 2: of coverage. Here's how it begins quote. This report analyzes 66 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: the activities and foreign connections of the Shut It Down 67 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: for Palestine SID four P movement since its formation in 68 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 2: October twenty twenty three. It examines SID four p's use 69 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: of protest, direct action initiatives and sophisticated media campaigns to 70 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: advance anti America and anti Israel narratives, both online and offline. Additionally, 71 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 2: it highlights the involvement of a network link to the 72 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,919 Speaker 2: Chinese Communist Party that funds and supports both alternative, anti 73 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: establishing media organizations promoting anti American initiatives, as well as 74 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: seemingly grassroots activist movements such as including SID four P. 75 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: So here are the key takeaways and assessments. Number one 76 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 2: SID four p's emergence. Shut It Down for Palestine is 77 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: an anti capitalist, anti police, and anti government protest movement 78 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,039 Speaker 2: that emerged after October seventh, twenty twenty three. It functions 79 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: as a hybrid online real world network for mobilizing frequent 80 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:57,120 Speaker 2: demonstrations as well as a gradually escal escalating direct action 81 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: campaigns targeting critical infrastructure and public spaces. Two SID four 82 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: p's ties to CCP linked entities. Conveners or organizations operating 83 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 2: under the SID four P umbrella are members of the 84 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 2: Singham Network donor portfolio. The Singham Network is a global 85 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 2: network global web of nonprofits, fiscal sponsors, and alternative news 86 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: sources tied to Neville Roy Singham, a known conduit for 87 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: CCP geopolitical influence. Three SID four p's funding. The Singham 88 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 2: Network exploits regulatory loopholes in the US nonprofit system to 89 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 2: facilitate the flow of enormous sum of US dollars to 90 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: organizations and movements that actively stoke social unrest at the 91 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 2: grassroots level. Four Alternative media and social media strategy. Alternative 92 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 2: media outlets associated with Singham Network have played a central 93 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,040 Speaker 2: role in online mobilization and cross platforms social amplification. For 94 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 2: SID four P and five ties to extremist groups. SID 95 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: four P has ties to extremist groups that embrace a 96 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: violent single state resolution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. At 97 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: least one SID four P convener is linked to the 98 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 2: extreme edge of pro Palestinian groups operating in the US 99 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: that advance anti American and anti Jewish agendas. Let me 100 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: ask you a question real quick. 101 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: If you knew that you were giving money to a 102 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: company that was supporting hardcore graftes running for office, if 103 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: you knew you were giving money to a company that 104 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: was supporting planned parenthood, if you knew that you were 105 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: giving money to a company that was giving money to 106 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: take away your First and Second Amendment rights, would you 107 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 1: keep doing it and do it every single month? Well, 108 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: if you're with Big Mobile, that's exactly what is happening. 109 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: You may not realize it, but now you know Big 110 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: Mobile support it's big leftist causes, including planned parenthood. And 111 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: that's why I want you to make the switch to 112 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. For more than a decade, Patriot Mobile has 113 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider and the number 114 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: one reason why people don't switch cell phone providers. They 115 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: think it takes forever. And it used to. You used 116 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: to have to go into a store, you had to 117 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: sit there, you had to port your number over. It 118 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 1: was exhausting, and so people are like, forget it, I'll 119 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: just stick with what I've got. It doesn't work that 120 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: way anymore. In fact, you can switch right now to 121 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile over the phone. It is incredibly easy because 122 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 1: of technology now and you get to keep your same 123 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: cell phone number you have and you can keep the 124 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 1: same cell phone you have in your hand right now, 125 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: or you can upgrade to a new one. Now, here's 126 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: the best part. When you switch to Patriot Mobile, they 127 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 1: actually take about five percent of your bill every month 128 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they fight for 129 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: the values that we believe in. That's right, your bill 130 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: every month goes to support free speech, really just freedom, 131 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: the same of life, as well as supporting our Second Amendment. 132 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: And then they do something else. It's amazing. They stand 133 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: with our military veterans, our wounded warriors, and our first 134 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: responder heroes. So in essence, when you make a phone call, 135 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: when you pay your bill every month, you're standing up 136 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: for what you believe in. Just go to Patriot Mobile 137 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,119 Speaker 1: dot com slash verdict that's Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict, 138 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: or call them at nine seven to two Patriot. That's 139 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: nine seven to two Patriot. And here's the other thing. 140 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: You'll get free activation when you use the offer code 141 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: verdict Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict or nine to 142 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot. This is next level and it's 143 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: obviously being orchestrated at the highest levels within these governments. 144 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: And it's not just China, it's also Cuba that is 145 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: involved in this as well, and this seems to be 146 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: part two of their master plan. China and I'm guessing 147 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: on this one, but based on what we've seen from 148 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: disclosures on donations, probably is giving more money to American 149 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: universities than any other nation would be my guess. And 150 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: if they're not the top, they're probably one, two or three. 151 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: I can't even imagine who would be above them. We 152 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: see massive money coming into the Ivy League's, massive money 153 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: that came in the Biden pen Center. The list goes 154 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: on and on. But this is almost like, Okay, how 155 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: do we infiltrate a country, how do we change the 156 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: opinion of the people in that country, and then how 157 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: do we literally have revolutions in that country? And they're 158 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: doing it all in front of our very eyes and 159 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: no one seems to be stopping it. 160 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: Well, that that is right, And if you look at 161 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: this report from NCRI, it details how China is spending 162 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 2: millions upwards up potentially one hundred million dollars funding these 163 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: protests that are occurring on campuses, that are shutting down bridges, 164 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,959 Speaker 2: that are shutting down airports. And you might think, Okay, 165 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 2: what does China care about Hamas, What does China care 166 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 2: about it? And the truth of the matter is they don't. 167 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: But they care about America. They care about tearing our 168 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 2: country apart. They care about chaos and fomenting dissent and 169 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 2: dissension that paralyzes our country. Let me read another portion 170 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 2: from this report from the NCRI. Quote. On the evening 171 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: of April thirtieth, twenty twenty four, over one hundred activists 172 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 2: gathered at the People's Forum, a far left nonprofit in 173 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 2: Manhattan that describes itself as a quote movement incubator for 174 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 2: working class and marginalized communities, to discuss the ongoing gaza 175 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 2: encampments on university campuses. The activists called on Columbia protesters 176 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 2: to recreate the civil unrest associated with quote the summer 177 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 2: of twenty twenty remember the Summer of Love. Hours later, 178 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 2: Columbia University's Hamilton Hall was forcibly occupied and barricaded. After 179 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: the hall was subsequently cleared by law enforcement, the New 180 00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 2: York Police Department reported finding industrial grade chains, US masks, earplugs, helmets, goggles, hammers, knives, 181 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: and ropes. Following processing, the Washington Post reported per NYPD 182 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: that more than twenty five percent of the arrest at 183 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 2: Columbia University and sixty percent at the City College of 184 00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 2: New York were not students. This is communist China paying 185 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: real money to disrupt America and to sow dissension. And 186 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 2: by the way, this group of conveners, I'll read another 187 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 2: portion of the report. SID four P was established and 188 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 2: structured against the backdrop of increased pro Palestinian activism starting 189 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 2: October twenty twenty three. On November first, SID four P 190 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 2: officially registered its domain shut it down for Palestine dot org, 191 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 2: and launched its site by November sixth. By November ninth, 192 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: SID four P publicly list its seven core organizations referred to 193 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 2: as conveners, as well as now numerous organizations referred to 194 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 2: as endorsers, reflecting the confluence of far left and pro 195 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: Palestinian radical activism. The official SID four P conveners include 196 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: the following groups. One The People's Forum, two Answer Coalition, 197 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 2: three the International People's Assembly, four Alada, New York five 198 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 2: the National Students for Justice in Palestine NSJP, six the 199 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: Palestinian Youth Movement, and seven the Palestinian American Community Center 200 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 2: New Jersey. The seven conveners of SID four P can 201 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 2: be divided into two distinct groupings based on ideological affiliation 202 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 2: and fiscal sponsorship. The coalition's far left members, namely the 203 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: People's Forum IPA and Answer Coalition, demonstrates significant financial, personnel, 204 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 2: and operational overlap. The remaining four conveners are all pro 205 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 2: Palestinian activist organizations, with at least two NSJP and al 206 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 2: Adwa known to have ties to US designated terrorist organizations. 207 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: In addition to NSJP and il a ADA, among SI 208 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: D four p's endorsers is Submuduan, which some Western intelligence 209 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 2: services classify as a front for the PFLP, the Popular 210 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 2: Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which is designated as 211 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: a foreign terrorist organization by the United States, Germany, and Israel. 212 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: So the question that everyone I think that's listening right 213 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,800 Speaker 1: now is asking is how is this then legal? And 214 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: if there's directies that are going back to terrorism, how 215 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: is again this legal? And if foreign finds are coming 216 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 1: in from our adversaries to pay and fund this anarchists 217 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: on college campuses. How is that legal? Is there anything 218 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,439 Speaker 1: that the government can do to say we're allow this 219 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: to happen? And we're talking about the finances. 220 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 2: Of this, well, look, there should be an enormous amount. 221 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 2: The Department of Justice should be investigating this, the FBI 222 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 2: should be investigating this. We've got money coming from communist 223 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 2: China behind these protests, behind these anti American, anti Israel protests. 224 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 2: We've got money coming from organizations that have close ties 225 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 2: to designated terrorist organizations. And so whether it is Hamas 226 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 2: and Hesbela pushing this, whether it is affiliated allies of 227 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: their pushing this, whether it is a Ran pushing this, 228 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: or whether it's communist China pushing this, the FBI ought 229 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: to be all over it. And I got to tell you, Ben, 230 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: my level of confidence that the FBI and the Department 231 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: of Justice is even looking at this is incredibly low, because, sadly, 232 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: this Biden Department of Justice is so politicized that they're 233 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 2: much more interested in tracking down some little old lady 234 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: on the National Mall on January sixth who was waving 235 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: an American flagging seeing God bless America and finding every 236 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 2: Facebook post she put twenty years ago, than they are 237 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 2: actually interested in finding communist China spending millions of dollars 238 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: trying to rip America apart. 239 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 1: And Senator, look, education and quality education and going to 240 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 1: a prestigious school was something that you worked incredibly hard for. 241 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: But you now look at what's happened at our colleges. 242 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: And I'm talking about it our quote best colleges. How 243 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: much of now what we're witnessing with them tolerating all 244 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: of these protests the way that they did in the 245 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: presence is because maybe they can't say no to the 246 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: foreign cash and the amount of foreign cash and therefore 247 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: foreign influence it's coming in from these same countries. 248 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 2: Look, the foreign cash is enormous problem. And let me 249 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: give you Let's look at the IVY League. So the 250 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 2: Ivy League eight colleges have historically been among the very 251 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 2: best colleges in America. I want us to look at 252 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: the percentage of foreign students in the IVY League. So 253 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: Brown University, what percent of foreign students do you think 254 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 2: are at Brown? It's got to be twenty percent plus. 255 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: I would guess nineteen percent. You're off by point. Okay, 256 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 2: how many students two thousand and ninety eight Columbia University. 257 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 2: What do you think the percentage is at Columbia twenty 258 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: five thirty thirty eight percent. You want to know how 259 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 2: many students that is? Fourteen thousand and eighty eight, fourteen 260 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 2: thousand foreign students. Cornell University twenty six percent, Dartmouth College 261 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 2: seventeen percent, Harvard University twenty two percent, Princeton University, Mi 262 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 2: alma mater twenty three percent, University of Pennsylvania twenty three percent, 263 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 2: Yale University twenty four percent. We are talking about thousands 264 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 2: and thousands and tens of thousands of foreign students. Now, 265 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 2: part of the reason the university's like these is because 266 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 2: the foreign students all pay full freight, so it's a 267 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: great money making endeavor. But why exactly are we educating 268 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 2: people who among them and not all of the foreign 269 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 2: students are that case? Look, my best friend in college, 270 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: who you know well, David Panton, was Jamaica. He was 271 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 2: a Ford and student. He came from Jamaica. He arrived 272 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: at Princeton at sixteen. He was the best man at 273 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 2: my wedding. He has been other than Heidi, my best 274 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: friend in life. He was a Ford and student. That 275 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: was great. That's very different a Jamaican kid who's talented 276 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: and wants to go go get a good education. Or 277 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 2: for that matter, my dad in nineteen fifty seven coming 278 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 2: as a student from Cuba to the University of Texas. 279 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 2: He came on a student visa. He came fleeing oppression. 280 00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 2: He'd been in prison, he'd been tortured, but he was 281 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 2: coming seeking freedom. That is very different from bringing in 282 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:39,879 Speaker 2: a bunch of radical anti America, anti Israel radicals. Look, 283 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: as far as I'm concerned, if you have a student 284 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:45,879 Speaker 2: on a student visa who gets out there and is 285 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 2: burning an American flag and channing death to America, you 286 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 2: should deport him that day. We have no obligation to 287 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 2: allow people to come on student visas, which is permissive. 288 00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 2: It is a choice. It is a discretionary choice if 289 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 2: they are going to tear down this country. And part 290 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 2: of the problem with the Ivy League schools is when 291 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,959 Speaker 2: you're looking at anywhere from seventeen percent Dartmouth College at 292 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: the low point to thirty eight percent Columbia University at 293 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: the high point that are foreign students, you have a 294 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 2: bunch of students who are not Americans, and far too 295 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: many of them don't give a damn amount American or 296 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: trying to tear America down. 297 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: Unbelievable bias in this case, and it's another example of that. 298 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: I want to tell you real quick about an amazing 299 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: organization that I want you to know about, and it 300 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 1: is an organization called it Preborn. When a mother with 301 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: an unplanned pregnancy meets her baby on ultrasound and here's 302 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: their heartbeat, it is a divine encounter that doubles a 303 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: baby's chance at life. By six weeks, eyes are forming 304 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 1: with a baby. By ten weeks, a baby is able 305 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: to suck his or her own thumb, and for just 306 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 1: twenty eight dollars, you could be the difference between the 307 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: life or death of a child. That is what Preborn does. 308 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: They give women the ability to hear their baby's heartbeat 309 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: on ultrasound. It's just like putting your hand over your heart. 310 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: Right now, you know that you're alive because you can 311 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: feel that heartbeat. And the same is for a preborn baby. 312 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: Their heart begins to form at conception and at just 313 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 1: three weeks it's already beating. At five weeks, of baby's 314 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: heartbeat can be heard on that ultrasound, and that's why 315 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: we partnered with Preborn, because we need to help these 316 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: precious babies. Every day Preborn's networks of clinics they rescue 317 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: two hundred babies from abortion. That is why I want 318 00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: you to get involved. All gifts are tax seductible.

When we 329 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: go back to the mar Lago raid, there was outrage 330 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: enough just on that happening. Never in my wildest dreams 331 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: would I have thought that I would have witnessed the 332 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:40,719 Speaker 1: breaking news that took place. That said, not only did 333 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: the Biden administration and the Attorney General Merritt Garland authorize 334 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: this raid. But on top of that, they authorized the 335 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: use of deadly force. 336 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 2: That's exactly right. According to a filing that was unsealed 337 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 2: this week, here's what it says. Quote. According to an 338 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 2: operations order produced in discovery, the FBI believed its objective 339 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 2: for the Marlago raid was to seize quote classified information, 340 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 2: NDI and US government records, as described in the search warrant. 341 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 2: The order contained a policy statement regarding quote use of 342 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: deadly force, which stated, for example, quote law enforcement officers 343 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: of the Department of Justice may use deadly force when necessary. 344 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 2: The agents planned to bring quote standard issue weapons AMMO, 345 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: handcuffs and medium and large sized bolt cutters, but they 346 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 2: were instructed to wear unmarked polo or collared shirts. 347 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 1: There's so many questions that I have right now. One 348 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: of them center is the fact that it's like, were 349 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 1: you setting this up to be a disaster? Because the 350 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: Secret Services job is to protect the President of the 351 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 1: United States of America former presidents at all costs. So 352 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: if you send in the FBI and you give them this, hey, 353 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: you've got authorized to use deadly force in this raid. 354 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 1: And the Secret Service there whose job is to use 355 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 1: deadly force to protect the former president the United States 356 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: of America. Why would Merrick Garwin set up that disastrous 357 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: situation even be a possibility. 358 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: Well, and look, they were anticipating potential conflicts with Secret Service. 359 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 2: So another one of the documents released says contingencies. Should 360 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 2: media be President Marlago, all personnel will refer to MMOSC 361 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 2: and I don't know all these acronyms, and I adhere 362 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: to FBI media policy as briefed. Two. Should f potus 363 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 2: former President of the United States arrive at mar A Lago, 364 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,720 Speaker 2: FBI mme EM and OSCs will be prepared to engage 365 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 2: with f POTUS and US Secret Service security team so 366 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 2: prepared to engage. Should US Secret Service provide resistance or 367 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 2: interfere with FBI time line or accesses, FBI MMEM will 368 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 2: engage with and it's blocked out. We don't know what 369 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: it is and blocked out. Blocked out will engage with 370 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 2: US Secret Services point of contact per existing liaison relationships. 371 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,400 Speaker 2: Should mar A Lago guest reception be unwilling to provide 372 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 2: a list of occupied guest rooms, FBI search team will 373 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:42,480 Speaker 2: knock on each guest room door to determine occupation status. 374 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 2: FBI will request a map, list of rooms and skeleton 375 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 2: key slash card for all rooms from mar A Lago 376 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: Staff five. An FBI MM slash TTA with lock picking 377 00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 2: equipment will be on the scene so their anticipate heating 378 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 2: Secret Service may actively resist the FBI, and they're prepared 379 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,360 Speaker 2: to engage, And they're prepared to engage with an order 380 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 2: that explicitly authorizes deadly force, like what in the hell. 381 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: Let's remind people of Merrick Garland's own words, he was 382 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,640 Speaker 1: very proud of this raid. In August, yes, twenty twenty two. 383 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 1: He went out there Justice Department, you know, insignia behind him, 384 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: the Justice Department flag to his left, the American flag 385 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: to his right, and he told the world in a 386 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: live report everyone carried it this. 387 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 3: There are, however, certain points I want you to know. First, 388 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 3: I personally approved the decision to seek a search warrant 389 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 3: in this matter. Second, the Department does not take such 390 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 3: a decision. 391 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: Lightly, clearly not, Senator, because they were planning for the 392 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: use of deadly force to possibly be used. 393 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 2: So let me give a caveat defending this in a 394 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 2: tiny respect, and then let me take that caveat away. 395 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 2: The caveat I would give is is is this sort 396 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 2: of authorization. An authorization of use of deadly force is 397 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 2: standard when the FBI is exercising a search warrant. Look, 398 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 2: if you're exercising a search warrant in any context, if 399 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: you're going to a drug dealer's house or something else, 400 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: there there is a risk of armed resistance, and so 401 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: an authorization of of of deadly forces is typical with 402 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 2: with a search warrant. That's the caveat. Now I'm going 403 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 2: to take back every so little of every word of 404 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: what I just said. Holy crap, this was the President 405 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:46,560 Speaker 2: of the United States. Are you out of your mind? 406 00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 2: Like like like this is And for Merrick Garland to 407 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 2: say I personally approved it the absolute hubris of this administration. Listen, 408 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: Merrick Garland is drunk with power. He believes he should 409 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 2: be on the Supreme Court, and he is engaged in 410 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:10,439 Speaker 2: a global revenge tour against everyone he thinks who wronged him. 411 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: But is there no judgment on the part of the 412 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 2: Attorney general. Is there no judgment on the part of 413 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,040 Speaker 2: the Deputy Attorney General? Is there no judgment on the 414 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,040 Speaker 2: part of any advisors anywhere at DOJ. Is there no 415 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 2: judgment on the part of the head of the FBI. 416 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,480 Speaker 2: Is there no judgment on the part of anyone involved 417 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 2: in this process to say, you know, this guy was 418 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 2: the president of the United States Secret Services guarding him 419 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 2: for a reason. Yeah, maybe we should not be authorizing 420 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 2: deadly for uced like can you imagine listen. 421 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,480 Speaker 1: Well, can you speak to the chain of command just 422 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,680 Speaker 1: for people to understand this. Merrick Garland's over the FBI, 423 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: but also isn't he over the Secret Service as well? 424 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: Is that not un his No? 425 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 2: No, Actually secret Service reports us, so they're in different 426 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: different silos. 427 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 1: So, but wouldn't he be talking or realizing that he's 428 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: setting them up for a war? 429 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, and listen, it is difficult 430 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: to imagine. Look, who knows what happens. But the idea 431 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 2: that okay, if Secret Service resists, you guys go like that, 432 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: there is no sense. And this reminds me back at 433 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 2: the beginning of Crossfire Hurricane. Crossfire Hurricane, you remember, was 434 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,880 Speaker 2: the DOJ and FBI targeting the Trump campaign back when 435 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: he was a candidate. They went after him, and they 436 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: went in and wire tapped him, and they went after 437 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 2: Carter Page and they created fraudulent documents that they used 438 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 2: to get a warrant from the fiz of Court. I mean, 439 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,040 Speaker 2: it was a grotesque abuse of power that the Department 440 00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 2: of Justice Inspector General detailed in very painstaking detail. 441 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: And the media gave cover because they said Donald Trump 442 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 1: was crazy. You imply that he was being spied on, 443 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,159 Speaker 1: his campaign was being spied on. They said he was 444 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: a lunatic. In fact, he was right the entire time. 445 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 2: He was exactly right. But look, when you go back 446 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 2: to the launch of Crossfire Hurricane part of the problem, 447 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 2: and this goes to DOJ during Obama when this all 448 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,960 Speaker 2: started an FBI during Obama, there were no adults in 449 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: the room. Listen, there are circumstances you could imagine where 450 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,119 Speaker 2: a criminal investigation, a search, warrant of prosecution has to 451 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 2: be authorized against a high level of government official, but 452 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 2: especially when that high level official is in the opposing party, 453 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: especially when that high level official is the leading candidate 454 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 2: for the opposing party and the likely opponent for the 455 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 2: sitting president. When you're going after your political opposition, the 456 00:28:52,760 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 2: threshold for anything should be extraordinarily high, and it wasn't 457 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: at all based on some ridiculous, half baked OPO research 458 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 2: paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign that contained the 459 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 2: notorious P tape and all that nonsense, which has all 460 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 2: been debunked. We now know it was all made up. 461 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 2: But look, when the Hillary Clinton campaign pays over a 462 00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 2: million bucks to make up OPO research, they come up 463 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: with some creative stuff. 464 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 1: When you look at this, this is going to be 465 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:28,440 Speaker 1: and it has to be. I would assume a major 466 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 1: campaign issue, especially in the presidential campaign. I can't imagine 467 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: this not coming up of the presidential debates. But there 468 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 1: also seems to be panic right now. In response to this, 469 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:46,480 Speaker 1: Jim Comey went on MSNBC and said this, take a listen. 470 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: Are you concerned that it may get a test unlike 471 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: any other if. 472 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 3: Donald Trump is reelected. 473 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: I mean, when you think about a second Trump administration, 474 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: what do you think the implications would be for the FBI? 475 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 4: Oh? Serious, for the Justice Department and the FBI, because 476 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 4: Trump is coming for those institutions. He knows their power, 477 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 4: and I think he has regrets that he didn't work 478 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,360 Speaker 4: hard enough to corrupt them last time. So he's coming 479 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 4: for them, and that's a danger for all Americans. He's 480 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 4: going to put people in positions in those organizations. He 481 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 4: didn't have all stars the last time. He'll have the 482 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,120 Speaker 4: bottom of the barrel this time, but people who will 483 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 4: want to do his will, and that should weary every American. 484 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 4: This election matters because of a reason like that. People 485 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 4: have to participate. You cannot sit on the sideline. I 486 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 4: don't care how you feel about Joe Biden. You must 487 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 4: vote for him because the consequences on the other side 488 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 4: are too severe. 489 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,080 Speaker 1: I don't care how you feel about Joe Biden, you 490 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: must vote for him. That's the former FBI director saying 491 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: that Senator. 492 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 2: Well, and when he talks about corrupting the FBI, I 493 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,600 Speaker 2: will say, listen. I would admit Jim Comey as an 494 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 2: expert witness at any trial of the planet on corrupting 495 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 2: the FBI, because he was front and center. He did 496 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 2: exactly that. He was the point person behind weaponizing the FBI. 497 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 2: Jim Komy as someone who fancies himself I believe to 498 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 2: be j Edgar Hoover. He had delusions of power. It 499 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 2: is one of the gravest mistakes of the first term 500 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 2: of the Trump presidency that Trump did not fire Jim 501 00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:18,600 Speaker 2: Comy on January twentieth, twenty seventeen, the first day in office. 502 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 2: He should have said, thank you for your service to 503 00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 2: the nation. Your services are no longer needed. Nobody would 504 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 2: have blinked. But the White House foolishly thought they could 505 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 2: get Komy to be part of the administration, to do 506 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 2: his job, to not be a disloyal, power hungry snake, 507 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 2: and they were wrong. He's continuing to do that. And 508 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,840 Speaker 2: by the way, let's understand there's an enormous amount of 509 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 2: CYA in Komy and that he's very afraid if they 510 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 2: have accountability at the FBI, that his personal rear end 511 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 2: is in the sling. And so that's he's like, please, please, 512 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 2: please make sure you put people in power that cover 513 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 2: up for me and that continue the corruption of the 514 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: FBI and continue weapon to get to attack their enemies, 515 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 2: because that's what I did, and I don't want to 516 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 2: be held for account. That's among the most self interested 517 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: testimony I've ever heard. 518 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: Final question on this now, knowing what we know about 519 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: the raid, is it warranted and justifiable if Donald Trump 520 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,520 Speaker 1: is elected again for him to go in in thoroughly 521 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: clean house in these institutions. 522 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:30,120 Speaker 2: Warranted, justifiable and incredibly necessary. What has happened is we 523 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 2: have hardcore partisans who have corrupted these institutions from the inside. 524 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 2: They occupy senior positions in the career bureaucracy. And if 525 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 2: Trump is reelected, and I hope and pray that he is, 526 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 2: he needs to appoint serious, strong leaders at DOJ, at 527 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 2: the FBI, and the rest of the alphabet soup of 528 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,440 Speaker 2: the administration who understand what they're doing, who have the 529 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 2: seriousness of purpose to go in and clean them out, 530 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: because we need to restore the institution. Listen that there 531 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 2: are some Republican some conservatives that say things like abolish 532 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 2: the FBI. I'm not in that camp. Why Because the 533 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: FBI is enormously important. The FBI does hugely important things 534 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: like finding and catching terrorists and stopping them from killing Americans. 535 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 2: It does hugely important things like finding kidnappers and child predators, 536 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:26,200 Speaker 2: and going after the mafia and mobsters and going after 537 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 2: Mexican drug cartales, like all of that is really damn important, 538 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,960 Speaker 2: and I don't want to blow that up. What I 539 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,400 Speaker 2: want to do is restore the integrity of the FBI 540 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 2: and the DOJ by getting the partisans out of office 541 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: who have corrupted it. As you know, Chris Ray, the 542 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 2: current director of the FBI. I've known for twenty five years. Chris. Interestingly, 543 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 2: Chris is not a Liberal. He's a Republican. He still 544 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,719 Speaker 2: considers himself a Republican to this day. Chris's problem, I believe, 545 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 2: is that he is a company man. Now, look, Donald 546 00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,320 Speaker 2: Trump put him in that position. He pointed him to 547 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,680 Speaker 2: that position. Chris is a company man, and he is. 548 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 2: He and I have had screaming arguments on this where 549 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,200 Speaker 2: he believes it is his job as administrator of the FBI, 550 00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 2: director of the FBI to defend the career leaders at 551 00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 2: the FBI, And I've told him, Chris, you are not 552 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 2: defending the institution of the FBI if you support people 553 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:24,399 Speaker 2: who are corrupting it and destroying its integrity. What does 554 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,880 Speaker 2: it tell you that half of America doesn't trust the 555 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:32,120 Speaker 2: institution anymore because you've been so politicized. And he has 556 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,240 Speaker 2: proven utterly incapable of seeing it and even less capable 557 00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,560 Speaker 2: of taking it on and stopping. 558 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: So, if you're like me and you love to go shooting, 559 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,320 Speaker 1: you're a hunter, maybe you just like to practice shooting. 560 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,439 Speaker 1: You know what happened over the last couple of years 561 00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:49,000 Speaker 1: with a massive shortage when it came to ammunition.
