1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,320 Speaker 1: Showing up next. 2 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 2: Our final news round up and information overload, Our. 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: All right news round up and information overload. Our Our 4 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: toll free number is eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn. 5 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:12,639 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program, 6 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:18,439 Speaker 1: if you don't follow at base Mike Lee, I'm not 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: sure why that's his handle on X, you really need 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: to because he's been he's been on a tweet storm 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: if you will, or an next storm, I don't know 10 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: what you call it, and rightful on all the right issues, 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: and pointing out one that the president that would be 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: Joe Biden already has the power to secure the border. 13 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't need any new laws to do it. Frankly, 14 00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: he'd saved money in the process, and how he's trying 15 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: to extort votes for Ukraine aid by exploiting national concerns 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: about national security problems. By the way, the biggest national 17 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 1: security problem we have right now is down at the border. 18 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: He's also been talking a lot about these, you know, 19 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: the continuing resolution. Now we have thirty four trillion dollars 20 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 1: in debt, another six plus trillion under Biden alone. Now 21 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: we're looking at another potential continuing resolution. Republicans in the 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: House that trying to stand strong. They don't have a 23 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: big enough majority, but you know, they're making borders and 24 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: the budget the top two priorities. If they stand on 25 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: those issues, I think they'll be successful with the American 26 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: people and be rewarded by being re elected. Anyway, we 27 00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: have all these supplementals, one after another after another, you know, 28 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 1: and we have week leadership in the Senate. Unfortunately they've 29 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,400 Speaker 1: not been willing to join House members and fight. And 30 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: then you have some weak members in the House as well. Anyway, 31 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,639 Speaker 1: joining us now is Utah Senator Mike Lee, Senator Happy 32 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: New Year, welcome back, lad you're. 33 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 2: With us, Thanks so much, Johan, good to be with you. 34 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: Why don't you walk us through what we're actually facing 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 1: with these budgetary deadlines and the possibility of more crs. 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 2: From today government runs out of money for part of 37 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: the government, and the number of departments who are funded 38 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: through that week, and then there are a number of 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 2: other departments who were funded through two weeks after that 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: early February, and so what that means is that Congress 41 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 2: is going to have to pass additional spending bills to 42 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: keep the government funded. But in the meantime, our country 43 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 2: is undergoing a massive influx, an influx that's so large, 44 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 2: so out of control, it almost appears orchestrated, orchestrated certainly 45 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: by the international drug cartels who are making billions of 46 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 2: dollars off of this offered bringing millions of people into 47 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 2: the United States unlawfully, but orchestrated also by people in 48 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: our own government who have chosen willfully not to enforce 49 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: our laws. Look, our laws in this area aren't perfect. 50 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 2: They can always use some tightening. The problem is not however, 51 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: with the laws. The law didn't cause the influx. The 52 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 2: influx was caused by people in the Biden administration, starting 53 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 2: at the very head of the Biden administration, President Biden 54 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 2: himself deciding not to enforce the border. And so that's 55 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 2: why there's one tool. 56 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: By the way, didn't he take an oath to uphold 57 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: our constitutional swren oath? And isn't every law? Correct me 58 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: if I'm wrong, you're the constitutional scholar, not I doesn't 59 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: every law? Isn't it predicated on that document? Maybe I'm 60 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: maybe I'm just misreading my history, but I always understood 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: that laws were based on the Constitution, Are they not? 62 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, based on the Constitution And that it can't be 63 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: a law unless you go through the process of passing 64 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 2: it through the constitutional order and the entire premise of 65 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: the Constitution, the relationship between the executive branch and the legislative. 66 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: So we have coequal branches of government, we have separation 67 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: of powers. And if Joe Biden doesn't like a law, 68 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: he doesn't have the luxury of just ignoring it and 69 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: going a step further and aiding in a betting people 70 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: and defying and breaking the law. Does he That would 71 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: be that would be a violation of his oath to 72 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: the constitution. 73 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 2: Right, it is a violation of his oath to just 74 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: decide that he's not going to enforce entire categories of laws, 75 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 2: and that he's going to look for every means possible 76 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 2: of forwarding of circumventing those laws bringing in millions of 77 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 2: people not of our own country coming in without authority 78 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: from the United States. So the one tool that Thomas 79 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 2: has that it could wield right now to really push 80 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 2: back on him is to say, look, you can start 81 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 2: the enforcing the border immediately. We demand that we do so, 82 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 2: we have to do so as soon as you do. 83 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: So we're happy to keep you funded, but if you're 84 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 2: not willing within the next couple of weeks to start 85 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 2: enforcing the border and show us real meaningful differences, showing 86 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 2: us that you're actually enforcing the border. We don't have 87 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: to fund your government, we don't have to fund your administration. 88 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 2: We can stop funding it all together. We can fund 89 00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:01,279 Speaker 2: only those portions of government that we who's to fund. 90 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 2: But we're not going to keep funding you at these 91 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 2: current bloated levels, certainly if you're not even going to 92 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 2: enforce the border. So mister Biden really has a choice 93 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: to make enforce the border or or shouldn't it. 94 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 1: Down what's going on in the Senate, because I don't 95 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: see the Senate that support of efforts of House Republicans 96 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: on the two issues. There are two priority issues, which 97 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: is the border and spending. I would think that those 98 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: are two ninety ten, eighty twenty issues for Republicans, and 99 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: yet there seems to be no fight in a lot 100 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: of your fellow senators and the Republican senators. 101 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: Why well, there needs to be, And I think that 102 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: when we reconvene in the Senate on Monday, I think 103 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,480 Speaker 2: a lot of members will have heard from constituents and friends, family, members, neighbors, 104 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 2: concerned voters throughout their states about this influx. This influx 105 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: in the last few weeks has been absolutely devastating. So yeah, 106 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: there's not a lot of fight that you've seen thus far, 107 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 2: but I think conditions have changed. I think you're going 108 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 2: to see a lot more fight when we recontine. And 109 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,479 Speaker 2: that's why my hope is that we can send this message. 110 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: We're not there yet, we don't have the votes yet 111 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 2: to do it, but if enough Republicans, either enough Republicans 112 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: in the House or even just enough Republicans in the 113 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: Senate said, if you want us to fund your government, 114 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: mister Biden, you've got to fund the border, and if 115 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 2: you don't give us border security, we're not giving you funding. 116 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: The message is that simple. 117 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 1: We could, Well, that's what That's what you tweeted out 118 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: that you will you will not vote to fund the 119 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: government until the border is secure. That is the position 120 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: of many House Republicans. Is that the position of every 121 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 1: Senate Republican. 122 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 2: No, it's not the position of every Senate Republican, it's 123 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: not the position of every House Republican, but it should be. 124 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 2: I believe that it should be some variation of that 125 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: should be the position of every Republican in the House, 126 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,919 Speaker 2: and in the Senate for that matter, it should be 127 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 2: the position of many Democrats. The simple reason that the 128 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 2: American people want to deserve, expect, and need for our 129 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 2: border to be enforced. And if the President just implemented 130 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,679 Speaker 2: and enforce the laws the way they're written, we wouldn't 131 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 2: have this problem. We wouldn't have millions of people spilling 132 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: across our border every single year. This is wrong. It's 133 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: got to stop. It's tragic, it's dangerous. Mister Biden is responsible. 134 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 2: He can fix it, and he must do so. 135 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: I'd like to see it when you talk to your 136 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: fellow senators. What are they saying to you? 137 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 2: All Right, So we've got a number who are sympathetic 138 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: toward it so far. There are others who, every time 139 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 2: funding discussion comes up, are inclined to say things like, well, gosh, 140 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: it's so important to keep the government funded, we can't 141 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: possibly talk about something, or we can't possibly talk about 142 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: something that could result in an impartial government shutdown. I 143 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: think what they're missing here is that number one Pether 144 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 2: and Biden would have to do this. If we drew 145 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,239 Speaker 2: a line in the sand. This doesn't have to result 146 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 2: in a shutdown. Is to turn it into one. That's 147 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: his choice, but it's an indefensible choice he would be making. 148 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: Number Two, we have to ask ourselves the question his 149 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 2: power is there for a reason, It's got to be 150 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 2: used at some point? If not us, who? If not now? When? 151 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: If there isn't if there is ever a scenario in 152 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 2: which Congress is going to utilize its power of the 153 00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: purse to draw a line in the sand and say, 154 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 2: mister President, no more, do not subject this the American 155 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 2: people to this anymore. I can't imagine a circumstance that 156 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 2: is more compelling than this one to draw that line 157 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: in the sand. All we're asking him to do is 158 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: enforce the law as it's written. That is not too 159 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: much shop. 160 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: I don't think it's that much either, and it would. 161 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, when we talk about issues of impeachment, I 162 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: think not upholding your oath to the constitution's pretty significant. 163 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: I know that House Republicans are beginning an impeachment inquiry 164 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: into Alejandro Mayorcis, which is fine and good, But doesn't 165 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 1: he take his direction from Joe Biden. Hasn't Joe Biden 166 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: been as guilty as may Orcus in terms of not 167 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: not enforcing the laws that our southern border. 168 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, many of us get the sense that mister may 169 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 2: Orcus would be fine with and would perhaps prefer to 170 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 2: be enforcing the border more than he has been. But 171 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: he's gotten direction to the contrary. That's that's the impression 172 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: of a lot of members of Congress. I'm not privy 173 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 2: to their private conversations, so I can't know that for sure. 174 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: That may well be true, but it is certainly true, Sean. 175 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: And he works for President Biden, and if he were 176 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: displeasing President Biden, presumably President Biden would either correct him 177 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 2: or dismiss him or something. Ultimately, President Biden does play 178 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: a role in this. But let's look let's look at 179 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 2: what's happening, Sean, because some of these border states, like Texas, 180 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 2: for example, realizing that we're going through an invasion and 181 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: they are the grand central station for the invasion. Not 182 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 2: all invasions involved people who are part of a trained, 183 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 2: organized military force, and necessarily even are just massive numbers 184 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: of people coming in to a country without that country's 185 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 2: without that government's approval or permission. And so Texas decides 186 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 2: to start, you know, putting in place laws and putting 187 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: together programs so that they can push back on the 188 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants immigration passing through their borders. What does Joe 189 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: Biden do with that this weekend, Well, he sues the 190 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: State of Texas. He refuses to enforce our laws governing immigration, 191 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 2: and then he sues Texas when Texas tries to protect 192 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,599 Speaker 2: itself from the ravages it was down there on the 193 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 2: border a few weeks ago. I spent two years on 194 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 2: the US Mexico border in southern Texas, in the McAllen area, 195 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 2: and I know how badly people are harmed, especially poor people, 196 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: especially recent immigrants themselves, whose jobs, livelihoods, children, neighborhoods are 197 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 2: all put in jeopardy by uncontrolled waves of illegal immigration. 198 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 2: So the State of Texas tries to stand up for 199 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: its own people and its own right to exist peacefully 200 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 2: without this going on, and Joe Biden sues them, which 201 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,439 Speaker 2: is shameful and it's frankly worthy of impeachment, independently of 202 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: anything else. 203 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: I completely agree, all right, quick break bore with Senator 204 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 1: Mike Lee of Utah on the other side. Eight hundred 205 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: and ninety four one, Shawn are number one. I we 206 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: continue now with Utah Senator Mike Lee. Let me change 207 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: topics on you a little bit here, and I want 208 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: to go into the constitutional issue of the fourteenth Amendment, 209 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: specifically section three and the actions in Colorado, which now 210 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: apparently the Trump team has brought to the US Supreme Court, 211 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: and the issue at Maine, and how wrong people are. 212 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 1: My understanding is with all the ninety one charges that 213 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: they've put on Donald Trump, that he's never even been 214 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: charged with the issue of insurrection, let alone been convicted 215 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: of such. 216 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 2: Not one person, not just Donald Trump, but not anyone, 217 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 2: not one person, has been charged with insurrection. 218 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: And then, by the way, there are laws again insurrection, 219 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 1: are they not? In other words, you could charge somebody 220 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: with the insurrection. 221 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 2: You could, and no one has been. But more than that, 222 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 2: Sean dun't, Trump is an even subject to exclusion under 223 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 2: section three of the fourteenth Amendment. 224 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: The president's not mentioned, while many other office holders are. 225 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: Is that correct? 226 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: That is correct? So presidential electors, electors for president and 227 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 2: vice president, senators, representatives, other officers under the United Sates. 228 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: Was this a mere omission that just was happened by accident, 229 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,880 Speaker 1: or was it done purposely by our framers? 230 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: No, it was done purposely. It was done purposely by 231 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:50,319 Speaker 2: those who drafted and proposed and ultimately ratified the fourteenth Amendment. 232 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 2: It was understood that this doesn't apply to presidents, and 233 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 2: they didn't regard that language, the original public meaning, the 234 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: original understanding of that language, well within the realm of 235 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 2: what's possible and indeed what is likely that will be. 236 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 2: I will not be surprised if it's a unanimous or 237 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 2: at least a nearly unanimous decision, because the text on 238 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: this is pretty clear. The original understanding makes it even clearer. 239 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: This doesn't apply here. What they've done is a mess, 240 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: and the name of protecting democracy, they have resorted to 241 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: a really cynical approach of just excluding the lead competitor, 242 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 2: the lead opposition leader of President Biden. This is wrong. 243 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: Oh, I think it's wrong. And I would imagine how 244 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 1: quickly you would you assume the Supreme Court has to 245 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: weigh in on this, all right. 246 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 2: So as a practical matter, the Court, I would think 247 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 2: would want a need to jump on this pretty quickly. 248 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: The Court can be very differentficult to predict, as you know, 249 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: and the Court typically moves at a much slower pace. 250 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 2: It typically takes many years for a case to get 251 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,839 Speaker 2: teed up for review, but this is. 252 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: One of a timely nature that they can't put off. 253 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: Yes, this is a very unusual case in a very 254 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: unusual posture in which I think they can't and in 255 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 2: any event, will conclude that they shouldn't put off. I 256 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 2: think they will take it up quite quickly, and I 257 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 2: think they will resolve it. And I think what the 258 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 2: main Secretary of State did, what the Colorado Supreme Court did, 259 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: were wrong, and I think the Supreme Court will agree. 260 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: All right, Senator Mike Lee, Utah, thank you, Senator, go 261 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: have a Crown Burger on me. 262 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: Okay, we'll do so. 263 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: We'll do so. And thanks for plugging at bass, Mike Lee. 264 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 2: I really appreciate it, Senator. 265 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: Great to talk to you.

I know there are a lot of timeshare owners 272 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: out there, and every timeshare owner I know regrets getting 273 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: their timeshare. They regret it because If you thought it 274 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 1: was hard to book your timeshare in the past, that's 275 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: now harder than ever. Most clients and owners they're shocked 276 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 1: to learn that their timeshare is now available to the 277 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: public and that severely limits their booking options. And many 278 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: owners are also furious that yeah, yearly dues keep doubling 279 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: every single maintenance season, but anyway maintenance fee season.

When you 382 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,479 Speaker 4: go into a fast food restaurant, you have to make 383 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 4: a choice. You look at the way that the people 384 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 4: that are working there are keeping themselves. Are they washing 385 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 4: their hands or their hairs properly tied back? 386 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 1: They look fine to me, They're in their uniforms, they're polite. 387 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 4: So because I've experienced the kitchen's clean. 388 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: So I went over a friend's house and they were 389 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,600 Speaker 1: involved with this big project of you know, going through 390 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: stuff in the garage and getting rid of everything.

And anyway I got I'm 395 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: giving this young woman the list of what it is 396 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: and all the special stuff, and she's writing it down. 397 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: She went through great care to get it done properly 398 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 1: and label each one which one was which, and I 399 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,080 Speaker 1: gave her a twenty dollars tip. And it was clear 400 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: that this woman had never been tipped before. I was shocked. 401 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: She was shocked, and I was shocked. I was so shocked. 402 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 4: Wait, you went into the restaurant and you tipped, you 403 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 4: tip the cashier. 404 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: Yeah.

Why does it 443 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 5: seem that the media dictates where law enforcement directs their attention? 444 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 5: And by that, I mean when Benghazi was in the 445 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 5: news and Hillary Clinton with the computers and everything, it 446 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 5: disappeared from the news. Nothing seems to be happening. Our 447 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 5: president spits on the sidewalk or has documents, or his 448 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 5: family does something, it's in the news, and all of 449 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 5: a sudden, law enforcement is all over it. I don't understand, 450 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 5: really does the media dictate where law enforcement directs it's attention. 451 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: To a certain extent? I mean, did you ever ask 452 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,879 Speaker 1: yourself why are some cases, you know, they become big, 453 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 1: big public cases that we talk about endlessly, you know, 454 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: Ferguson Missouri, Freddie Gray and Baltimore, UVA, Duke Lacrosse, Trayvon 455 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 1: Martin and George Zimmerman and you know why every week, 456 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: you know that hundreds of people are shot monthly in Chicago, 457 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: shot and shot and killed, and you never hear about 458 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: the names of innocent people that are killed or murdered. 459 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: Why is that? I mean? But I'll tell you what. 460 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 1: The reason that I've concluded is unless they can exploit 461 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: something politically, Democrats don't want to you know, they don't 462 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: want to talk about it. 463 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 5: Makes sense media, yes, exactly, and so the media does 464 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 5: have an effect on exactly what happens in the country's 465 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 5: for his lawenforcement goes. 466 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: Well, it has an effect in that way, but they're 467 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: also going to have an effect on the election and 468 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,439 Speaker 1: what they cover and what they don't cover. You know, 469 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: yesterday the mob, the media, Oh my gosh, Donald Trump 470 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: got money, the same media ignoring everything involving Barisma and 471 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: Joe Biden and his actions that he took as vice president, 472 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 1: leveraging a billion dollars and his son with no experience 473 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: addicted to drugs, being paid to sit on a board 474 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: and he knew nothing about, you know, anything related to energy, 475 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: and they're trying to say, well, Donald Trump made money 476 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: off of country's twenty countries because there were people from 477 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,280 Speaker 1: these countries that actually got rooms in his hotel and everything. 478 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, do you think that Donald Trump as 479 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,160 Speaker 1: president was getting a list daily of every single solitary 480 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 1: guest that showed up at one of his hotels or apartments. No, 481 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: that that's not how it works. Nice try though. I mean, Hannity, 482 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: you know he stepped in it. What if this ever 483 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: happened to Trump or to Trump family. It is not 484 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: the same thing as the influence peddling charges that the 485 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: Biden family's facing. And they know it's a lie, and 486 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: they've ignored all of that, and now they're trying to 487 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: muddy the waters and the lead up to the campaign 488 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: because they know it's such a damaging issue for Joe Biden. 489 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's how they work. They are corrupt. We 490 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 1: have an abusively corrupt and biased media period.

Enough and there's 502 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 3: so many things wrong with this country, but that has 503 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 3: got to be number one. And Mike Lee Center Lee said, 504 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:29,520 Speaker 3: it's not just Republicans and Democrats, it's everybody's got to 505 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 3: get on board. My very simple solution, maybe to help 506 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 3: the rest of America that doesn't watch Fox News or 507 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 3: the other conservative outlets. During COVID, the left outlets were, 508 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 3: you know, all over themselves with side screens of COVID 509 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 3: deaths and COVID infections and all this kind of stuff 510 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 3: and unvaccinated and vaccinated. Maybe your show, maybe the whole 511 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 3: Fox network. Don't know how the network works. Have a 512 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: little sidebar that consistently with your drone at the border 513 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 3: and Bill Illusion showed twenty four hours a day, how 514 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 3: many people are coming through, how many people are waiting 515 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,840 Speaker 3: in line, how much trash, how well dressed these people are? 516 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:22,640 Speaker 3: Chinese people carrying suitcase across the desert, right. So that's 517 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 3: my suggestion because apparently to most people, this isn't happening. 518 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 3: It's no big deal. And our most wanted or should 519 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,639 Speaker 3: be wanted criminal in the United States is our Manchurian president, 520 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 3: who is the number one sex trafficker, drug trafficker. 521 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: He's allowing it all to happen, isn't. He's not enforcing 522 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,480 Speaker 1: the laws of the land, and he's not securing the border, 523 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: and he's violating his oaths to the Constitution exactly. 524 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 3: And I have family members that have served in the 525 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,440 Speaker 3: military since World War One. My friend is in the 526 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 3: eighty second Airborne was second to the abbey Gate and 527 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,960 Speaker 3: had to clean it up. And I when Built Biden 528 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 3: was elected, I'm like, he's going to ruin this country. 529 00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 3: He's going to kill our blood and treasure, including my son. 530 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 3: But now he's doing it in a slow and steady way. 531 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 3: And he's complicit with so many politicians on both sides 532 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 3: of the aisle. 533 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: Well, he's complicit. And you know what, you're right, I mean, 534 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 1: I think you have a pretty good idea there, and 535 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 1: reminding people most people now get it. It's taken a 536 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: lot of coverage on the part of people like me 537 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:45,480 Speaker 1: and some others to get the message out and show 538 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: the images that the rest of the media won't show. 539 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: Remember when they were overcrowded cages with kids in the 540 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic, and Joe Biden didn't want to 541 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: show them, and he had built those cages. You know, 542 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,760 Speaker 1: we were able to get images only because Senator Ted 543 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: who's went to the border. All right, that's gonna wrap 544 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: things up for today.
