1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:00,560
Speaker 1: ICE.

2
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:05,199
Speaker 2: The masked American Gestapo has been given a budget larger

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: than the United States Marine Corps. And every American has

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:13,160
Speaker 2: seen the images, has seen the abuses, has seen the

5
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 2: murder committed by the Gestapo. And yesterday the ICE director

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 2: came to the United States Senate.

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: And there's a question at hand. Who do you believe the.

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: Man who speaks calmly and says everything is normal, or

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: your eyes. I suggest you trust your eyes and your ears.

10
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 2: It is February thirteenth. I'm Steve Schmidt.

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: This is the warning.

12
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 2: Finally, in the United States Senate there was a hearing

13
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: that confronted the awful and ugly reality of the misconduct

14
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 2: of ICE. A couple of things became clear. Despite ICE

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: agents knocking out car windows, dragging people from their vehicle,

16
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: saying that they're impeded when they're followed, when they're observed,

17
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: when they're witnessed, that lo and behold, it's not a crime.

18
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: After all, Americans have a right if they choose to

19
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: yell out an ICE agent. It's the ICE agent who's

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: the criminal who threatens to shoot that American. Americans have

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: a right to record ICE agents.

22
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: With Alexander pretty He's filming in the middle of the street.

23
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: We see two women that are, as you watch the video,

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: job boning, complaining, protesting, yelling, maybe not being nice, but

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 3: they're protesting the Well, let's keep the videos stopped. And

26
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:39,479
Speaker 3: so my question to mister Scott first, is yelling at

27
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: ICE officers or border patrol? Is that a form of

28
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: domestic assault on the officers? No, sir, mister Lyons, No, sir,

29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: it's not. Is filming of ICE or border patrol either

30
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: an assault or a crime in any way, mister Scott, No, sir,

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: mister Lyons, no, sir.

32
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: We saw an incredible moment here is Senator Peters getting

33
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: to the bottom of who it is that informed the

34
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: White House that were day Good and Alex Pretty were

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: domestic terrorists?

36
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: Was it Ice? And the answer is now.

37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: When Secretary Nome said he was committing quote, an active

38
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 4: domestic terrorism, what you saw in a video, you know,

39
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: is that what you train your officer. Someone laying on

40
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 4: the ground, that's an active domestic terrorism. I Christo Scott

41
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 4: and Acting Lyons, did you provide Secretary Nome with an

42
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,959
Speaker 4: assessment of what mister Pretty was engaged in and that

43
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: he was engaged in domestic terrorism? Is that why she

44
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: said that is because you told her that was your

45
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 4: belief at that time, even though you need an awful

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: lot of investigation now to know exactly what happened. Are

47
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 4: you the ones that told her that, No, sir, No, sir,

48
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 4: did anyone who reports to either of you provide this

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 4: assessment to Secretary Nome that this was mass casualty or

50
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: he was attempting to inflict mass casualties and the domestic terror?

51
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 4: Do someone in your staff tell her.

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: That that's my knowledge?

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 5: Sir? So?

54
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 4: Why would Secretary know him? Why would she tell the

55
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: public that this was an act of domestic terrorism? Well,

56
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 4: right in the heat of the moment, How would she

57
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 4: possibly come to that kind of conclusion to tell the

58
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 4: American public that when they're watching this video.

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: I can't speculate on what someone else would say or why, sir.

60
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 6: Miss Ryan's sorry, I can't speculate to what the Secretary

61
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 6: thought that time, sir.

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: So.

63
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 4: It seems to me a really big question, which means

64
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: that we have to have Secretary Noome here. She deserves

65
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 4: it to the or the American people deserve to have

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 4: the secretary the person who is responsible to you are

67
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: responsible to and all the men and women ICE answer

68
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 4: to her. She needs to be before this committee.

69
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: The answer is, it was Stephen Miller, and it was

70
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Christy No, and it was Corey Lewandowski, and it was

71
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: a smear and it was a lie.

72
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Senator Bluementhal asked some questions.

73
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 5: So let's take George Reeds for example. He's an army

74
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 5: that and a father from California trying to go to work.

75
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 5: He said he was tear guests and held for three

76
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 5: days without charges. Is he lying, sir?

77
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: ICE wasn't involved in that arrest?

78
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: Sir?

79
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 5: Were you mistaken when you said that no US citizen

80
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 5: is subject immigration enforcement? No, sir, Well, who's lying?

81
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 2: You?

82
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: Are him?

83
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: Sir?

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 7: I'm speaking for the men and women of ICE. In

85
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 7: my operation. I didn't arrest that individual, sir. But the

86
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 7: facts contradict what you said. Will you admit that you

87
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 7: don't know? For example, about Elijah Raman, a disabled woman

88
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 7: from Minneapolis. She came to this hearing, she testified before

89
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 7: our Spotlight forum, violently dragged from her car, detained without

90
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 7: medical attention until she passed out?

91
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 5: She lying? Or are you lying?

92
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 6: No, sir, She's not lying.

93
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 5: Well, then you were mistaken when you said no US

94
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 5: citizen has been detained.

95
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 6: No, sir, I said new US citizens subject to immigration

96
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 6: law and deportation and removal.

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Ice does, well, that's.

98
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 5: A circular argument. She wasn't subject to immigration law because

99
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 5: she's a US citizen, but she was detained, and that

100
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: contradicts directly, as does your statement apply to Miramar Martinez

101
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 5: who was almost killed shot seven times by CPP agents.

102
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 5: It is true of Diana Figueroa who told us she

103
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 5: was violently dragged from her car after dropping her son

104
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 5: at school, thrown into a van, also detained.

105
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: Is she lying, No, sir. But Senator slock and asked

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: some questions.

107
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 8: Do you believe that ICE has the authority to be

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 8: deployed to US polling places around the country.

109
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 6: So, ma'am, we're a civil obviously we do civil enforcement

110
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 6: and criminal law enforcement. There's no reason for us to

111
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 6: deploy too at polling facility.

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 8: So if the President of the United States gets Christinome

113
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 8: on the phone, and she gets you on the phone,

114
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 8: and she says, we've heard there's a problem in Georgia

115
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 8: or in Michigan or somewhere else, I need you to

116
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 8: go and physically deploy around polling locations. You will say no.

117
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: There's no reason for US deployment. Well you said, then

118
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: you should say no.

119
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 6: But just point of clarification homemand security investigations. We do

120
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 6: investigate voter fraud, which we've had made several arrests, most

121
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 6: recently high profile one in Massachusetts.

122
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 8: So I just's very different than the physical intimidation.

123
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 6: I just didn't want you to say that we don't

124
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 6: do anything with voter I just want you to know

125
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 6: we do.

126
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: That's fine.

127
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 8: I'm talking about something that I think would be extraordinary

128
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 8: in American history, which is uniformed and massed ice agents

129
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 8: in circling polling places. And it's not fantasy, it's not

130
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 8: made up. These are things that the President and his

131
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 8: cabinet have suggested.

132
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 2: What we know is this, in America, we have the

133
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 2: right to speech, we have the right to worship, We

134
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: have the right to be free in our homes from

135
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: a jackboot kicking down the door. We have a constitution

136
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: in America. And that constitution has been lit on fire

137
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: by Christy Nome, by Corey Lewandowski, by Steven Miller, by

138
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 2: the Eis Gestapo, by Greg Baveno and Tom Homan and

139
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: they have done tremendous damage to children, to real Americans,

140
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 2: moms and dads. They invaded an American city like it

141
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: was for Loujah, and their crimes will never be forgotten

142
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: and justice will be done. Yesterday was a first step.

143
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 2: Ran Paul deserves credit. This hearing did not go off

144
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: the rails. This was a hearing where the executive branch

145
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: was confronted by the Article one branch of government to Congress.

146
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: Yesterday was a rare.

147
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,559
Speaker 2: Moment where we saw United States Senators doing their job,

148
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: asking tough questions and getting answers because for one brief

149
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: shining moment, there was a Republican chairman who wouldn't tolerate

150
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: the bullshit in our country. The group that wore masks

151
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: and terrorized people with brown and black skin, they have

152
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: a name. It was the ku Klux Klan, and now

153
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 2: there is Ice and they are one and the same.

154
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: It's not law enforcement, it's domestic terrorism, and every massed

155
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: agent is a domestic enemy of the American Constitution and

156
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: the liberty of the American people. This is the warning.

157
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 2: I'm Steve Schmidt. This is the warning. I invite you

158
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: to join this community where I promise to be honest, blunt,

159
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 2: and direct about what is happening in this country. America

160
