1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 1: Would Hunter Biden be in jail years ago if he 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 1: were a Republican. Well, that is exactly what Ronda Santis, 3 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Florida governor and now candidate for President of the United 4 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: States of America, has said, saying, Look, the federal investigation 5 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: of Hunter Biden is now in its fifth year, and 6 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: there is no doubt that if Hunter Biden were a Republican, 7 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: he'd already be in prison. Roda Santis is making it 8 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: clear what he thinks about this federal investigation to the 9 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: president's son, the Florida governor who announced he is in 10 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: this race, officially made the comments during a campaign stop 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: in Iowa. When asked about weaponize bureaucracy in Washington, d c. 12 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: He said, quote, we have a bureaucracy that our founding 13 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: fathers would find unrecognizable. It's an unaccountable, weaponized administrative state 14 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: that unevenly wields authority depending on its target, two different 15 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: sets of rules, depending on whether you're a member in 16 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: good standing of the elite society or not. He continued, 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: saying this, if Hunter were Republican, he would have been 18 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: in jail years ago. Now, this investigation has been taking 19 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: a long time, and Republicans in the House are asking 20 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: now a lot of questions. One of the people that's 21 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: demanding answers is James Comer. James Comer is now threatening 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: to hold the FBI Director, Christopher Ray in contempt for 23 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:36,759 Speaker 1: not producing Hunter Biden documents. Now, these documents are extremely important, 24 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what was said on 25 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: Fox News about this with Jonathan Turley and the background 26 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: of why they want these documents. 27 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 2: Arthel. 28 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: We are now just two days away from a major 29 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 3: meeting about the Biden family business dealings. FBI Director Christopher 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: Ray is set to speak with houseover sde Committee Chairman 31 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 3: James Comer on Wednesday, that is, one day after the 32 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 3: deadline that Comer gave him to share an internal document. 33 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 3: A whistleblower claims that the document shows then Vice President 34 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 3: Biden was involved in a criminal scheme. 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 2: With a foreign national. 36 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 3: For more on this, joining us now is Jonathan Turley, 37 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: Bock News contributor and a g w U law professor 38 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 3: and a constitutional law attorney. Jonathan, thanks for your time today. 39 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: So look, this make is going to happen on Wednesday, 40 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 3: right after James Comer and Republicans were potentially pitching the 41 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: idea of holding Christopher Ray in contempt of Congress if 42 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 3: he didn't start cooperating. What do you think is going 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 3: to come out of this meeting, if anything. 44 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 4: Well, most expectations is that Ray is going to hold 45 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 4: the line and resist revealing this document. Their argument is 46 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: that this document contains the type of raw allegations that 47 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 4: come over the transom or through sources, sometimes anonymous sources. 48 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 4: The problem with the FBI's position is that it is 49 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 4: also being investigated that One of the concerns among many 50 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 4: in the American people is that they believe that the 51 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 4: FBI has been politically compromised for years, and polls indicate 52 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 4: that that is not changing. And whether you agree with 53 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 4: that or not, it suggests that your approach needs to change. 54 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 4: That is the only way to reverse those numbers is 55 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 4: to give greater transparency. There's another issue here that supports Congress. 56 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 4: You know, yes, the FBI investigates crime, but one of 57 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 4: the functions of the Congress in oversight is to look 58 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 4: at corruption that includes things that may not be criminal 59 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: but are corrupt. Influence peddling is the favorite form of 60 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: corruption in Washington, and in this case, the Bidens have 61 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 4: been accused of millions of dollars coming from foreign interests, 62 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 4: some closely associated with foreign intelligence. This document's part of 63 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: that investigation. I think that raise got to look at 64 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: that context and say, this is not the usual you know, 65 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 4: push and shove from Congress. There's a need here to 66 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 4: be more transparent. 67 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: There's a need here to be more transparent. The question 68 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: is will he be more transparent now. James Comber has 69 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: made it clear he's not putting up with this partisanism 70 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: any longer, and the chairman of the US House Oversight 71 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: Committee said this week that he is beginning the proceedings 72 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: to hold the FBI Director Christopher Ray, in contempt of 73 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: Congress for not producing a memo that is related to 74 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: the agency's investigation into President Joe Biden. Comber said the 75 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: FBI's decision to withhold the document is unacceptable after he 76 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: was told about it through a whistleblower, saying, quote today, 77 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: the FBI informed the committee that it will not provide 78 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: the unclassified documents. So these aren't even classified. These are 79 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: unclassified documents subpoenaed by the committee, basically saying subpoena by Congress. 80 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 1: The FBI's decision to stiff arm Congress and hide the 81 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: ass in firm from the American people is obstructionists and unacceptable. Now, 82 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee has already been investigating President Biden, 83 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: and I want to be clear about how I describe 84 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: that President Biden. Yes, they're looking at his son's business 85 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: dealings in China, but they're looking at really whether President 86 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: Biden illegally or unethically benefited from these multi million dollar 87 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: transactions and his compromise because of them with different countries 88 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: that can include China, Russia, the list, Romania, Ukraine, the 89 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: list goes on and on. Quote. While I have a 90 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: call scheduled with FBI Director Ray to discuss his response further. 91 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: The Committee has been clear and its intent to protect 92 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: Congressional oversight authority and will now be taking steps to 93 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: hold the FBI director in contempt of Congress for refusing 94 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: to comply with a lawful subpoena America deserves the truth 95 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: in The Overite Committee will continue to demand transparency from 96 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: the nation's chief law enforcement agency. Now. Last month, James 97 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 1: Comber said the committee was investigating not one, not two, 98 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 1: not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven, 99 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: not eight, but nine Biden family members. Now let me 100 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: be clear, he said, the committee is investigating, We're not 101 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: naming nine that benefited financially that we know about from 102 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: these suspicious activity reports. He's now saying that they are 103 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: investigating the nine Biden family members after they received more 104 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: of the financial documents from the Treasury Department. James Comer 105 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: says the large sums were transferred from at least one 106 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: Chinese communist company that ended up in bank accounts controlled 107 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: by the Biden Nexus, saying, quote, thousands of pages of 108 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: financial records related to the Biden family, their companies and associates, 109 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: and the business schemes were made available to members of 110 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: the House Committee on Oversit in Account which confirm the 111 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 1: importance of this investigation. Comer went on to say, now 112 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: this is the reason why, and I go back to 113 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: Ronda Santis here. He understands that this is an election 114 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: your issue. He understands that it's important for this to 115 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 1: take place in a move forward. He also understands how 116 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: corrupt everything has been, and this is exactly why. The 117 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 1: former Attorney General Bill Barr said on Saturday at an 118 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: event that the Hunter Biden, the son of the President 119 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: Joe Biden, is likely to face serious charges stemming from 120 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: a Department of Justice probe. The DOJ has conducted a 121 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: year long investigate, years long, four year and five year 122 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: long investigation on Hunter Biden for alleged tax offenses and 123 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: making false statements while purchasing a firearm. Barr, who was 124 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: serving as the AG when the investigation began, provided his 125 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: perspective on the investigation during an appearance on CBS News. 126 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: Barsity suspects a recent meeting between federal PROSSUS Delaware authorities 127 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: and Hunter Biden's attorneys indicate that the DOJ officials are 128 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: nearing a charging decision in that case. There's probably been 129 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: a lot of hand ringing in many different places, but 130 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: I assume that the defense went in there to try 131 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: to see what they think would be a way to 132 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,239 Speaker 1: resolve this without serious charges against Hunter Biden, Bill Bar said, 133 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: I suspect they're going to be unsuccessful, quote unquote. Barr 134 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: also added that the case is likely taking a longer 135 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: time because the tax case against the President sun is complicated, 136 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: especially after they fired everybody that was investigating it, removed 137 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: them from it at the IRS. It requires work from 138 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: the IRS side, but also because the DOJ could be 139 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: probing the allegations of corruption lobbied against Hunter Biden by Republicans. 140 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: In addition to the DOJ probe, we also know that 141 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden is facing legal scrutiny from House Republicans over 142 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: his foreign business dealings. GOP lawmakers have said that his 143 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 1: business dealings with foreign companies, including some associated with directly 144 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 1: with the CCP Chinese Communist Party while his father served 145 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: as a vice president from twenty and nine to twenty 146 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: seventeen under Barack Obama, should face investigations over their alleged corruption. Quote. 147 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: Bar said he shares concerns about abuses of power conducted 148 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: by Hunter Biden, but ultimately question whether he would ultimately 149 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 1: be found guilty in a court of law, saying this, 150 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: there's a difference between abuse of power, shameful behavior when 151 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: you're in power and so forth, and something that can 152 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: actually be proven as a crime. Bar said, I joined 153 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: the conclusion that there was a lot of shameful self 154 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: dealing and influence pedaling and so forth. I think the 155 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: American people should take note that should be explained and 156 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: shown to the American people. The questions whether you can 157 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: prove a crime is a different matter, which is exactly 158 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: why By the way, House Republicans are not focusing in 159 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: on Hunter Biden, using in on the president of the 160 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 1: United States of America, because really that's where the real 161 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: crimes were being committed. Now you understand their strategy. Now, 162 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want 163 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good 164 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: friends at Patriot Mobile.

It's not classified that the FBI Director 186 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: Christopher Ray is refusing to turn over. Now, the intel 187 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 1: they have to even know to ask for this piece 188 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: of paper was from a whistleblower. Here's what he had 189 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: to say on Fox News Channel with Sean Hannity. Listen. 190 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,599 Speaker 5: So, but the ten twenty three is a confidential informant 191 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 5: that would give information that they would take it. Maybe 192 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 5: it's not fully corroborated. Now, the question is did they 193 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: do a full investment. 194 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: Mitigation A and B. 195 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 5: And secondly, if they feel or fear that this may 196 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 5: be made public, I'm sure you would agree to see 197 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 5: it in a skiff or a private setting. Would that 198 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 5: be fair? 199 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 2: That would be fair. But it's not classified. 200 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 6: So their argument that says they don't want to out 201 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 6: their inform it. 202 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,559 Speaker 2: I agree with that one hundred percent. 203 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 6: There's a process in Washington tend to prevent that, and 204 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 6: that's called redacting the name of the informant. That solves 205 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,559 Speaker 6: that if the informant's claim isn't legitimate, then again, why 206 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 6: are they worried about the informant? Look, we learned something 207 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 6: during the second conversation we had with people representing the FBA, 208 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 6: when they came in to talk to my staff. 209 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 2: We our specific request. 210 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 6: First of all, said we want any form ten twenty 211 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 6: three dated in August twenty twenty with the word Biden 212 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 6: on it. And you know what they came back and said, Sean, 213 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 6: They said, well, that would just be too many documents. 214 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 6: We can't positively prepare all that. So you know a 215 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 6: lot of bulb costen. What do you mean how many 216 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 6: ten twenty threes are there with the word Biden just 217 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 6: for one month in twenty twenty. 218 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,679 Speaker 2: Now, this is what we found with. 219 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 6: The Treasury with the suspicious activity ports. There were hundreds 220 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 6: of these indicating potential wrongdoing of the bidens with respect 221 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 6: to financial transactions. Now, the way that I understood the FBI, 222 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 6: there are multiple FOURM, ten twenty threes pertaining to Biden, 223 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 6: So we had to narrow the focus to say, okay, 224 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 6: Biden and the word five million dollars. 225 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: So let's just sit back and recap this for a moment. 226 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: The Justice Department does not deny the existence of this record. 227 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: The Justice Department says there's too many records that deal 228 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,840 Speaker 1: with the Bidens during one month of a certain year, 229 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 1: which is shocking in itself. So they had to go 230 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: back and say, do you have any documents with Biden 231 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,079 Speaker 1: and have five million involved? And that is exactly why 232 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: Comer says the FBI informed the committee that it will 233 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: not provide the unclassified documents subpoened by the committee and 234 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: the FBI's decision to stiff arm Congress and hide this 235 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: information for the American people as obstruction is and unacceptable. Now, 236 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 1: James Comer and Chris Ray do have a phone call 237 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: that is supposed to take place today. Comer was asked 238 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,120 Speaker 1: about that, right, will you proceed to hold the FBI 239 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: and condemned to Congress or if you talk to him, 240 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: what's going to happen. Listen to his answer on that. 241 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: So you're going to hold direct Array in contempt. Is 242 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 5: that what you said, even though you have a scheduled 243 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 5: call with them, Where does it stand tonight? 244 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 2: Well, today was the deadline. 245 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 6: He was given three weeks to produce a document and 246 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 6: go into detail on what exactly they did to investigate 247 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 6: the validity of the document. But thus far he won't 248 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 6: even admit that they have the document. Sean, he's given 249 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 6: us the run around for three weeks. He's just stalling. 250 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 6: He said, there's good faith effort. They haven't produced anything. 251 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 6: They haven't even admitted they have a document, So we 252 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 6: don't have confidence and Director Array. We're already in the 253 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 6: process of drafting legislation to hold an Oversight Committee mark 254 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 6: up next week to hold FBI Director Ray in contempt 255 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:26,840 Speaker 6: of Congress. 256 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 1: I don't blame him for this. Yeah, if you're going 257 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: to have a phone call with him, fine, But thousands 258 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: of pages of financial records right of the Biden family, 259 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: their comings and associate and their business schemes that have 260 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: been made available to Congress. They're finding stuff. Now you 261 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: got a whistleblower saying hey, you don't have it all. 262 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: Then they go to the FBI and they say, hey, 263 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: we need to look at this piece of paper, right, 264 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 1: and they say, no, we're not going to give it 265 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: to you. It's not even classified. Don't care because they're 266 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 1: protecting the Biden crime family. In other words, who gives 267 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: a crap if the FBI director has a scheduled phone 268 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: call with the House Oversite Committee Chairman James Comber discussed 269 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: the informant file. The informant file that allegedly accuses President 270 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,840 Speaker 1: Biden of being part of a five million dollar bribery scheme. 271 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 1: Your response to subpoenas due by May thirtieth. You missed 272 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: the deadline, right, So fine, I'll take your phone call, 273 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: but you missed the deadline. We sent you a subpoena 274 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: for the information on May third, after the whistleblower contact 275 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 1: to Center Chuck Grassley about the document said to have 276 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 1: been created or modified on June thirtieth of twenty twenty. 277 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: The FBI last week releasing confidential source information could quote 278 00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 1: jeopardize potentially investigations and put lives at risk potentially. I 279 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: love the FBI. At least they're consistent, right, can't show 280 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: you might someone might die. The FBI remains committed to 281 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: cooperating with Congress's oversight requests on this matter and others, 282 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: as we always have. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy also attempted 283 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: to help mediate the dispute with a May nineteenth call 284 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: to Christopher Ray said afterwards he thought the Bureau would comply, saying, quote, 285 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 1: the fbis continue to tie itself in k nots to 286 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 1: ignore a legitimate subpoena from Congress, which has a constitutional 287 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: duty of oversight. That's what Chuck Grassley said last week. 288 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: The bureaus developed a serious reputation problem through its spats 289 00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 1: of failure and overreach, and leadership is going doing itself 290 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,359 Speaker 1: no favors by attempting to stiff arm Congress again. The 291 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: longtime sinator said he's angry because exquissleb or Protection Caucus 292 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: co chairman, it understands these people are putting their careers 293 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,800 Speaker 1: at risk every time they are forced to come forward. 294 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: The FBI knows exactly what document Chairman Comber and I 295 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: are seeking, and if they know us at all, they 296 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: know we will get it one way or another. If 297 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:57,280 Speaker 1: FBI leadership truly cares about protecting the agency's reputation, they'd cooperate. 298 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,480 Speaker 1: James Comer in the House side grass on the Senate 299 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: side have not publicly discussed major details of bribery allegation, 300 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: such as specifying which country or US policy decisions were 301 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: involved or manipulated due to the payoff. Congress, by the way, 302 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: has many tools to force the executive branch agencies that 303 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: comply with subpoenas, including litigation and withholding funding. In addition 304 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: to contempt votes, which generally are used to shame subjects, 305 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: it's possible for lawmakers to impeach officials like Christopher Ray. During, 306 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,400 Speaker 1: by the way, the immediate after math of the vice presidency, 307 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,919 Speaker 1: Joe Biden interacted with his son Hunter Biden and his 308 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: brother James Biden's associates in China, Mexico, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, 309 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:52,199 Speaker 1: Romania that according to files from Hunter Biden's laptop, he 310 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: even appeared to be penciled in for a ten percent 311 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: cut of the Chinese government link age energy deal under 312 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: negotiation seventeen that didn't pay out until right after he 313 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 1: left the Vice presidential office. You've got to understand here, 314 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 1: we've got whistleblowers who now feel comfortable to come forward. 315 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,199 Speaker 1: We have the irs whistleblower, Gary Shapley, who oversaw the 316 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: tax fraud investigation of Hunter Biden since twenty twenty. He 317 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 1: testified Friday to the Housewaves and Means Committee about alleged 318 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: preferential treatment in the five year old investigation. The primary 319 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: IRS case agent on that investigation since it opened in 320 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: eighteen came forward last week to back up his boss 321 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: after the IRS I May the fifteenth to remove the 322 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: thirteen people that were investigating. They were the thirteen person 323 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: investigative team in alleged retribution for him contacting Congress. FBI 324 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: agents assigned to the investigation also reportedly are frustrated by 325 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: the lack of charges after computing most of their work 326 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: on the case, not this year, but last year. Time 327 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: and time again. The Democrats keep winning. And the reason 328 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: why is because they never are held accountable and they 329 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: apparently never have to play by the rules. That's the 330 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: problem here, and we better wake up and understand we 331 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 1: have an opportunity. And James Comer and Jim Jordan are 332 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: doing an amazing job with this, Chuck Grassley doing an 333 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: amazing job with this, but other Republicans need to understand. 334 00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:24,120 Speaker 1: Now it's very clear, it's very very clear from these 335 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 1: whistleblowers that all this was going on James Comer also 336 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: said this about Joe Biden, saying, Joe Biden lied to 337 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 1: the American people. Listen to this where he had say, 338 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: Maria Bartromo. 339 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 6: There are a lot of obstacles, but I think what 340 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 6: we produced this week, this thirty eight page memorandum, was 341 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 6: pretty solid evidence that we've been able to accumulate, showing 342 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 6: that Joe Biden lied when he said his family never 343 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 6: took money from China, showing that the media got it 344 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 6: wrong when they said none of these payments were ever 345 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 6: made while Joe Biden was in office, and then naming 346 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 6: nine bad Biden family members that received money. None of 347 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 6: this was ever known before, so we presented the media 348 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 6: with something they weren't used to, especially when Adam Schiff 349 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 6: was leaving the investigations. 350 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:07,400 Speaker 2: We produced evidence. 351 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, they have produced evidence, and now it's time for 352 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: Republicans to get off their ear ends and focus in 353 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 1: on this.

I 370 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: want to move on to another issue that is important, 371 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: and I'm going to read you the headline first and 372 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: then I'm going to play you piece of audio that 373 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: connects very much to this headline. The headline is this. 374 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: I love this headline. By the way Donald Trump pledges 375 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: to end birthright citizenship on first day in office. That 376 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: apparently is now evil and bigoted and racist everything you 377 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,439 Speaker 1: would expect. In fact, now the media is saying that 378 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: both DeSantis standing up for our borders and Trump, they 379 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: now say, are identical and now it's just a race 380 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: for who is more xenophobic than the other, because they 381 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 1: actually want to stand up for an America First policy. They're 382 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: also angry in the media that people like Chris Christy, 383 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: who are looking at this race and saying, look at me, 384 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: look at me, right for me, I might be the 385 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,199 Speaker 1: great guy that you should get behind. They're angry that 386 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: they're not showing up in the polling at all. They're 387 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: basically a joke. Take a listen to this as they're 388 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: giving you their expertise on CNN. 389 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 2: It shows that. 390 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 7: The true state of the Republican Party is maga. There 391 00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 7: are not two dual parties here. There's not two wings. 392 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 2: There is just. 393 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 7: MAGA and extreme MAGA. And you see that clearly playing 394 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 7: out in the polls, with people like Christie purporting to 395 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 7: be moderates, purporting to be part. 396 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: Of the normal wing of the Republican. 397 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 7: Party, getting hardly any support in the actual data. 398 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: Now, I love the fact that they're describing the Republican 399 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 1: Party as the part you MAGA an ultra MAGA make 400 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,920 Speaker 1: America great again. If that's who we are. I have 401 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 1: no issues with it. I also love the fact that 402 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: they think the Republican Party should be Chris Christie and 403 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 1: they're angry that it's not. That also tells you everything 404 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,040 Speaker 1: you need to know about how successful we are right now. 405 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: We don't want Chris Christy to be showing up in 406 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: the polls, the same way that we don't want Jeb 407 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,560 Speaker 1: Bush to be showing up in the polls. The last 408 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: thing we want is for these idiots to show up 409 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 1: in the polls. 410 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: Now. 411 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: I do believe we have to reach out in a 412 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,199 Speaker 1: general election, and I don't want there to be a 413 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:41,400 Speaker 1: blood bath and a just massive feeding frenzy between Ron 414 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,640 Speaker 1: DeSantis and Donald Trump. As I said the other day, 415 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm happy with both candidates, and whoever gets the nomination, 416 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 1: I will happily support. What I don't want to happen 417 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 1: is for these morons to convince America that a guy 418 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: like Chris Christy deserves your vote when clearly he doesn't. Now, 419 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: let me go back to the headline, by the way, 420 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: and this is again an American first policy. Donald Trump 421 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: is pledging ten birthright citizenship on first in office. Immediately 422 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: they screen that's racist, is in a phobia, YadA YadA. 423 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: But what the former president is doing is he's returning 424 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: to his calls he's made these before to remove birthright 425 00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: citizenship with his twenty twenty four White House campaign announcing 426 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: this week he would seek to end it via executive 427 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: order on the first and in office now. Trump announced his 428 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: plan on the twenty fifth anniversary of the United States 429 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: versus Wong Kim arc that's the Supreme Court case that 430 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: established the constitutional right to birthright citizenship. The proposal echoes 431 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: a long time demand of immigration restrictions and and measure 432 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,240 Speaker 1: Trump touted while in office, attracting criticism from both immigration 433 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: advocates as well as legal experts. Now, the latest that 434 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,360 Speaker 1: we now know is most experts say that a present 435 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: does not have the authority to end birthright citizenship through 436 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: an executive order, primarily because the practice is enshrined in 437 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: the Constitution. They claim the Fourteenth Amendment grand citizenship citizenship 438 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: to those born or naturalized in the United States of 439 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: America and subject to the jurisdiction thereof. The widely accepted 440 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 1: interpretation of that amendment that it applies to children born 441 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: in the United States of America regardless of the parents. 442 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: Immigration status has held since the eighteen ninety eighth Supreme 443 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 1: Court case involving a US citizen with Chinese parents. The 444 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: Fourteenth Amendment was adopted after the Civil War to guarantee 445 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: equal rights for former slaves. Immigration restrictions argue that excludes 446 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:52,360 Speaker 1: the children of other groups, like undocumented immigrants, from its benefit. 447 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 1: As a member of the Reconstruction Congress explained in eighteen 448 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: sixty six, exception to birthright citizenship applies only to the 449 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 1: children of diplomats and those born into Native American tribes 450 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: who were under the jurisdiction of a separate sovereign and 451 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,639 Speaker 1: did not need to comply with all US laws, wrote 452 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: Amanda Frost, a professor of law at the University of Virginia, 453 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 1: an author of quote you are not America citizenship, stripping 454 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,880 Speaker 1: from dread Scott to the Dreamers now. In contrast, immigrants 455 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: and their children living the United States of America were 456 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,440 Speaker 1: and are required to follow all federal and state laws 457 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: or face criminal and civil penalties, and so are fully 458 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: subject to the nation's jurisdictions. According to Trump campaign, the 459 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: executive order, they say, will explain the clear meaning of 460 00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 1: the Fourteenth Amendment, which it says is that the children 461 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: of foreign nationals born in the United States of America 462 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 1: are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States 463 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: as defined in the Constitution now. During Trump's term in office, 464 00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: a draft executive order to that effect was circulated, and 465 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: the idea was revised shortly after Trump lost to President 466 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: Biden in the twenty twenty election. But Trump had floated 467 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 1: inning birthright citizenship earlier in his presidency. In fact, in 468 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: twenty eighteen, he said in an Axis interview that he 469 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: planned to issue an executive order inning birthright citizenship, setting 470 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: off a political firestorm. It was always told to me 471 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 1: that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what you don't, 472 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: Trump said at the time. While executive order altering the 473 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 1: interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment would likely face many legal challenges, 474 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,879 Speaker 1: his proponents sought to take the case to the courts 475 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 1: and hoping of getting a favorable Supreme Court outcome. Supporters 476 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 1: of the measure also say that they're betting basically on 477 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 1: a judicial revocation of birthright citizenship. Quote. This will set 478 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 1: up the court fight, the order will be enjoined, case 479 00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: will be eventually reached the Supreme Court which then will 480 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: finally have to rule on the meaning of subject to 481 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 1: the jurisdiction. That's what the executive director of the Center 482 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: for Immigration Studies, A restrictionist group is how the liberal 483 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: media calls them. That calls for massive reductions in immigration. 484 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: Now Trump has made it clear that he is trying 485 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 1: to secure the southern border, and just like in twenty sixteen, 486 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: Trump has sought to make immigration board security a top 487 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: campaign issue, as he should. In its release this week, 488 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign dove into the fight over the meaning 489 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: of jurisdiction and claim that the United States has become 490 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: one of the few countries in the world to extend 491 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 1: citizenship to the children of illegal aliens, even if both 492 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: parents are not citizens nor even legally present in the 493 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,560 Speaker 1: United States of America. Now, let me be clear, I 494 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 1: don't know if Donald Trump would win this one. I 495 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: do think it's important to understand what he's trying to accomplish, 496 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,040 Speaker 1: and the agenda here is one that we need to understand. 497 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: The agenda of the president is let's go out and 498 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: fight on every one of these issues. Let's make sure 499 00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: that we don't back down. Let's make sure that we 500 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: are standing here and making it clear what we believe in, 501 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: why we believe, and let's challenge any area where there 502 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,880 Speaker 1: is a gray area if it comes to securing our 503 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: southern border. That's what he's trying to do here. The 504 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: other problem is, we know that people are abusing this rule. 505 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 1: We know that people are coming across the border illegally 506 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: at the very last second, and then they're having children 507 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: in this country. And they're doing it because then they 508 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: know that they've got an anchor to become a citizen here. 509 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: They know they're much less likely to be kicked out right, 510 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 1: much much much less likely to be kicked out of 511 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: this country if they have a child in this country. 512 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 1: They're betting on all of this, Okay, Like this is 513 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 1: their thing. This is what they're betting on. This is 514 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 1: what they're hoping is going to happen. There's also one 515 00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,280 Speaker 1: other point I want to make, and that's about the media. 516 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: The media he is not reporting this story accurately. If 517 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:07,520 Speaker 1: you actually listen to what Donald Trump said pledging this 518 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 1: executive order on day one of his presidency to end 519 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: birthright citizenship for legal aliens, he says, clearly this is 520 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: part of his entire basically immigration, secure our border, plan. 521 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: It's not one thing by itself out there isolated. They're 522 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: not telling you that. So I will listen to Trump 523 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 1: in his own words. 524 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 8: Part of my plan to secure the border on day one. 525 00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: Did you hear that? Part of my plan to secure 526 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:34,240 Speaker 1: the border on day one? Did the media tell you that? No, 527 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: they just come out. They're like, the courts are gonna 528 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,800 Speaker 1: stop him. He can't do this. He's wrong. He's a lunatic, 529 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 1: he's xenophobic, he's a racist, he's a bigot. No, they 530 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: take it out of context, of course, because he says 531 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: part of my plan day one is secure a border, right, 532 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 1: part of our plan. And if you missed it, if 533 00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: you don't believe it, here it is again. 534 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 8: It's part of my plan to secure the border. 535 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 9: On day one my new term in office, I will 536 00:31:56,280 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 9: sign an executive order making clear to federal agencies that, 537 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:04,960 Speaker 9: under the correct interpretation of the law going forward, the 538 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 9: future children of illegal aliens will not receive automatic US citizenship. 539 00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 9: It's things like this that bring millions of people to 540 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 9: our country, and they enter our country illegally. My policy 541 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,400 Speaker 9: will choke off a major incentive for continued illegal immigration, 542 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 9: deter more migrants from coming and encourage many of the 543 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 9: aliens Joe Biden is unlawfully led into our country to 544 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 9: go back to their home countries. 545 00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 8: They must go back. 546 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 9: Nobody could afford this, nobody could do this, and even morally, 547 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,479 Speaker 9: it's so wrong. My order will also end their unfair 548 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 9: practice known as birth tourism, where hundreds of thousands of 549 00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 9: people from all over the planet squad and hotels for 550 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 9: there last few weeks at pregnancy. 551 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 8: To illegitimately and illegally obtain you a. 552 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:03,480 Speaker 9: Citizenship for the child of to later exploit chain migration 553 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,800 Speaker 9: to jump the line and get green cards for themselves 554 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 9: and their family members. It's a practice that's so horrible 555 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 9: and so egregious, but we let it go forward. At 556 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,080 Speaker 9: least one parent will have to be a citizen or 557 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 9: a legal resident in order to qualify. We will secure 558 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 9: our borders and we will restore or sovereignty. Starting on 559 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 9: day one, our country will be great again. Our country 560 00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 9: will be a country again. We'll have borders, we'll have 561 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 9: proper education, and we'll put America first. 562 00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 1: If you put it in contact sounds pretty reasonable to me, 563 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 1: and I think there's a hell of a lot of 564 00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 1: voters that are going to agree with me on that one. 565 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,880 Speaker 1: Don't forget to share this podcast or your family and friends. 566 00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,440 Speaker 1: Please write us a five star review if you would. 567 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: It helps us reach a lot more people, and we 568 00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:53,960 Speaker 1: will see you back here tomorrow
