He gave what over fifteen hundred commutations, you know, 0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:40.160 even this this judge in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that 0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:44.680 was literally, you know, sending people to a for profit 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:49.640 place for rehabilitation, I guess. And another guy that you know, 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.440 fifty three million dollars in Indiana that he got out 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.960 of a town of fifteen thousand people. Not sure why 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.400 that person got it, but I would expect a lot 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.840 of people, you know the names. We keep hearing a 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.200 lot about Liz Cheney. The GOP has issued a criminal 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.359 referral for Liz Cheney. We'll get into some of the 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.640 details of that in just a minute. We have now 0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:16.880 evidence Tom Massey put out that the Attorney General Merrick Garland, 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.560 he claims lied to him under oath about whether confidential 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.560 human sources were at the Capitol on January sixth, twenty 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:27.440 twenty one, and in fact Garland denied that that was 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:29.720 the case. Is he going to be up for a 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:33.079 preemptive pardon. You keep hearing the name Anthony Fauci. You 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:36.240 keep hearing about Joe Biden's brother and other family members. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:40.119 You have Benny Thompson also the January sixth Committee. He's 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.600 open he wants a pardon Bill Clinton, saying he'd love 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.640 a preemptive pardon for his wife. I don't know if 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:48.160 it looks like they're going to be handing him out 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.280 in droves. But remember Joe Biden was the one that 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:53.359 said he wouldn't even give Hunter a pardon. 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:56.760 So listen, your son Hunter day on trial. 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.840 And I know that you cannot speak about an ongoing 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:02.680 federal prosecution, but. 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:03.359 Let me ask you. 0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.079 Will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.040 what it is. Yes, And have you ruled out a 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:10.959 pardon for your son? 0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:15.120 Yes. I go to sever time the president would not 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:19.240 pardon or community sense for its on Hunter. I want 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:20.480 to make sure that that is not going. 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:21.560 To change for over the next six months. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:25.040 The President's say it's still a no, it's still an 0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:26.959 I will always you know it's still a no. 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.600 It will be a no. It is a no. And 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:30.840 I don't have anything else. 0:03:30.720 --> 0:03:34.519 To add through the question regarding the family. I'm extremely 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:37.680 proud of my son Hunter. He has overcome an addiction. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:41.400 He is He's one of the brightest, most decent men. 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:45.720 I know, and I am satisfied that I'm not going 0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.880 to do anything I said. I advide by the jury decision. 0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.480 I will do that and I will not pardon him. 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:53.600 Well he did. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.440 And now the list for requested pardons from Hillary Clinton, 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:04.200 Liz Cheney, Benny Thompson, Anthony Fauci, and the list goes on. 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.200 I'm sure the other Biden family members as well, and 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:11.000 Joe might want to consider one for himself. And it's 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:14.400 pretty unbelievable anyway. Here to weigh in on all of 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.440 this is Brett Tolman is back with US, executive director 0:04:18.680 --> 0:04:22.240 of Right on Crime. Former US attorney Greg Jarreed is 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:26.840 with US Fox News Legal analysts, best selling author. All right, Well, 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.320 he said he wasn't going to pardon Hunter, but we 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.800 keep hearing that they're going to partner a whole bunch 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:35.479 of people. And what are your thoughts? Is Merrek Garland 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.600 now added to the list? Is Liz Cheney now that 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:40.160 a criminal referral is official from the GOP? 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.320 Is she now on the list? 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:45.640 Is this why Benny Thompson said publicly that he would 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:46.919 love a preemptive pardon? 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:52.160 Greg, Yeah, yes to all of the above, and the 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.120 number of times that Joe Biden lied about it. You 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:58.640 just played them all. It's really Brett taking and this 0:04:59.040 --> 0:05:06.240 idea of preemptive pardons underscores, doesn't it, Shawn, the lawlessness 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:11.520 of the Biden administration and his many political allies that 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:15.760 you've just named. It stinks of corruption, It debases the law, 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:20.280 and the fact that Biden is even considering it is 0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:24.800 really quite offensive. You know, the pardon provision in Article 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:31.560 two of the Constitution, it contemplated crimes actually committed, not 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:36.240 crimes for which a person has not even been indicted 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:41.800 or investigated. That's not what the framers intended. That there 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:47.120 really is no legitimate authority over unidentified offenses. How can 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:52.520 a president pardon someone for something he's not even aware of? Well, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:53.920 he can't. That's ill Well. 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.960 You're the constitutional attorney, though, I mean my reading and 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.919 my understanding of it, the power of the pardon absolutely, 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:05.080 And if it's preemptive versus you know what you're setting 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:11.400 post conviction or post even criminal charge, does it really 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.920 make a difference. Does that authority really not exist for 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:15.560 a president? 0:06:16.320 --> 0:06:21.360 What I'm saying is that it's illogical and it's anathema 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:25.440 to the kind of system of Justice that our founders. 0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:28.720 You're saying it's unethical, but is it unconstitutional? I'm not 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.160 so sure that that would be ruled on constitutional. 0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:35.440 We don't know the answer because it's never been challenged. 0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:38.880 The pardon provision, as you correctly state, the Constitution is 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:44.640 actually silent on that. It's simply declarative. It doesn't say, 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.520 you know, the only other preemptive pardon was Gerald Ford's 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:54.599 blanket pardon of Nixon for getting and all unidentified crimes. 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:59.920 Was it valid? We don't know because it was never challenged. Yes, 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:05.000 it's a factual precedent of history, but it is not 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:10.320 a legal one. And I just wonder that if wholesale 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:17.440 preemptive pardons given out to political allies like you know, 0:07:17.640 --> 0:07:24.120 party favors and Christmas candy were challenged, might the Supreme 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.960 Court set reasonable limits? They might? 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.000 Yeah? What's your take on this, Brett Telman, what is 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:31.600 your take on it? 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:35.520 Yeah? I think the discussion is one that many have had. 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:38.720 And remember Sean that it was the Democrats who said, 0:07:38.960 --> 0:07:43.440 who ranted and raved about accusing Trump and when he 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.560 was leaving office, that he was going to do the 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:48.120 same thing. And they had all the talking points and 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:52.120 now they're silent, and so I understand what Greg's saying, 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.960 and I think it's true that the Framers didn't contemplate 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:57.760 or anticipate it, but there's nothing that limits it. And 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.720 I think if a Supreme Court is reviewing it, I 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:02.200 think the Supreme Court says it can be done because 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:05.360 there's no limitation on the pardon power that's not written 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.880 in the Constitution, and we've seen there as a precedent 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:12.400 for a preemptive use of it. What is so offensive 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.200 and what the American people need to focus on is 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:21.040 why is he doing it? And what happened when he 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:24.760 was told, hey, by the Office of the Pardon Attorneys. 0:08:24.800 --> 0:08:28.360 He was told, let's vet all of these more closely, 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.040 let's actually dig into the cases. And the White House 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.760 refused to do so. And the reason they did is 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.360 because they just want the image of him giving more 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.480 clemencies and more pardons than any other president, because they've 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:45.480 believed that that would be somewhat. 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:45.959 Of his legacy. 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.920 And it's offensive to any of us that have been 0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:50.640 working on clemencies and working in this area of the law. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:58.520 Why do I expect that this preemptive pardon, these preemptive 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:02.719 pardons are more likely than not, Greg Jarrett, I think 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:05.559 they're all coming. I mean, for example, we have Congressman 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:12.120 Loudermilk releasing an interim report on January sixth that issued 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:18.000 a criminal referral to investigate evidence regarding Liz Cheney that 0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:21.079 she tampered with witnesses while she was co chair of 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:25.160 the January sixth committee. And he identifies a number of 0:09:25.280 --> 0:09:28.280 laws that he wants the FBI to investigate and says 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:33.160 that federal law was likely broken by the select committee. 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:37.680 And anyway, it revealed that the former congressman woman tampered 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.360 with a witness by secretly communicating with the witness. I 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.040 know who it is, but I'm not going to mention 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:46.560 it out of I guess fairness to that person because 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.679 that person has not been named as or has not 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:53.320 been referred. But anyway, and they cite eighteen USC. Fifteen twelve, 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:57.920 and similarly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation must also investigate 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.720 Cheney for violating eighteen USCC sixteen twenty two, which prohibits 0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:07.280 any person from procuring another person to commit perjury and quote, 0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:12.400 based on the evidence obtained by this subcommittee, perjury was 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.959 in fact committed and there was lies told under the 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.400 oath to the Select Committee. 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:18.160 Do you think that's real? 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:25.240 Oh, I do think it's real, And I read Lauermounk's report, 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:29.199 and you know, it's pretty compelling evidence of witness tampering 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:31.839 as well as suborning perjury. 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.920 And by the way, in this particular case, she went 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:40.200 in this prime time Hollywood produced extravaganza with a predetermined outcome. 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:45.280 They actually had testimony from the individual involved in the incident, 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.599 and this had to do with the person that was 0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:51.400 driving Donald Trump on January sixth, and the question was 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.599 whether he had tried to commandeer the vehicle, and the 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:55.520 driver said that never happened. 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:59.839 Right, and that much of that was surpressed. So you know, 0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.800 we knew at the time it was a charade, and 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:07.480 now we know the true ugliness of that charade thanks 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.800 to a congressional investigation, which tells me that the incoming 0:11:11.880 --> 0:11:15.280 Department of Justice needs to take a serious look at it. 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:22.000 Your previous question was, you know, Willie actually grant these 0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:25.760 preemptive pardons to all of his political allies and supporters, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:29.679 And the only one that I'm pretty certain he's going 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.079 to issue is for his brother James, who was knee 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:38.440 deep in the suspected influence pedaling schemes in which. 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:40.960 You know, what about what about himself and what about 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.679 other family members that benefited financially, Well, he may do 0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:45.800 that as well. 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.839 He may do it for every single member of the 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:54.800 Biden family, particularly those who received what the Oversight Committee 0:11:54.840 --> 0:12:00.640 has said were payouts from foreign sources, principally China, Ukraine 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:06.959 and elsewhere. So, you know, I think Jonathan Turley made 0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:08.839 a very good point today in his column in the 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:12.760 New York Post. The media and Democrats told Americans if 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:18.160 Trump's elected, it's the end of democracy. Opponents will be 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:22.840 Trump opponents will be locked up. Well, now it looks 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:26.880 like democracy will survive. And you know, Trump insists he 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.280 won't seek retaliation. So to keep the phony narrative going, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.959 Biden's going to issue these preemptive pardons so that media 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.840 and Dems can why once more and claim his pardons 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:43.679 saved democracy. That may sound cynical, but citizism is the 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.280 foundation of Biden politics. 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.000 All right, quick break, we'll come right back. We'll continue, 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:50.719 We'll get to your calls coming up. Eight hundred and 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:55.080 nine to four one Sean, As we continue. We continue 0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.199 now our legal analysis Brett Tollman, Greg Jarrett on the 0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.000 issue of preemptive pardons and who might need one. If 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:04.520 you really want to clean up the weaponization of the 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.560 Department of Justice, if you really want to clean it up, 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:11.959 those people that did abuse power probably should be held accountable. 0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.640 Then this way, new people going into the future will 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:19.240 know that if they abuse power that one day there 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.240 might be justice coming their way. That would be one 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.679 way to clean it out. I don't know how you 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:26.720 otherwise prevent it from ever happening. 0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:27.120 Again. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.240 Let me go to Tom Massey, and he pointed out 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.600 in his ex post that Merrick Garland, he claims, lied 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.160 to him under oath. We now know from the age 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:42.640 from the Inspector General's report that there were confidential human 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:47.120 sources at the Capitol on January sixth, and Massey asked 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:48.800 Merrick Garland directly about it. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:49.959 Now he lied, Listen. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.640 I was hoping today to give you an opportunity to 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.760 put to rest the concerns that people have that there 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:59.600 were federal agents or assets of the federal government present 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.880 on James January fifth and January sixth. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.840 Can you tell us without talking about. 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:08.160 Particular incidents or particular videos, how many agents or assets 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.760 of the federal government were present on January sixth, whether 0:14:10.840 --> 0:14:14.240 they agitated to go into the capitol, and if any 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:15.640 of them did so. 0:14:15.800 --> 0:14:19.280 I'm not going to violate this norm of the rule 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.960 of law. I'm not going to comment on investigation that's 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.520 ongoing on that video. 0:14:24.040 --> 0:14:26.080 That was your answer to a question to me two 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.120 years ago when I said, how many agents or assets 0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.800 of the government were present on January fifth and January 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.400 sixth and agitating in the crowd to go into the capitol, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:37.600 and how many went into the capitol? Can you answer 0:14:37.680 --> 0:14:38.000 that now? 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:39.720 I don't know the answer to that question. 0:14:40.480 --> 0:14:41.200 Oh, last time. 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.120 You don't know how many there were or there were none. 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.480 I don't know the answer to either of those questions. 0:14:47.560 --> 0:14:49.440 If there were any. I don't know how many. 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.040 You've know whether there are any. 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:54.480 I think you may have just perjured yourself that you 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:57.280 don't know that there were any. You want to say 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.240 that again, that you don't know that there were no. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.720 Personal knowledge of this matter. Wow, what's your take on that? Brett? 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.720 Well, let me just let me say I hope that 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.320 President Biden does grant all these preemptive pardons, because it's 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.000 going to be the same result as all the lawfair 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.680 that they've engaged in. The American people are going to say, Oh, 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.360 that person's guilty, that person's guilty, that person's guilty, and 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.360 they're just protecting their own and they're tired of Washington DC. 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:25.000 They're tired of all of that, and they sent a 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:28.360 really strong message that they don't want a double standard, 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:30.840 and right now the only double standard that we're seeing 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:34.400 is on the Democrat side. Are there people that need 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:38.960 to be investigated. Yes, Unfortunately, qualified immunity has been strengthened 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:40.880 to the point we can't hold a lot of these 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:43.840 bureaucrats responsible. We have to make changes to the law 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:47.040 in order to pursue them in most criminal cases. But 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.360 that doesn't mean we can't get the value of investigating them, 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.920 you know, because they deserve it, and making them plead 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.360 the fifth or making them make those decisions, or making 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:00.840 Joe Biden issue a peremptive pardon the American people and say, Okay, 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:02.760 we actually know what happened. 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:07.040 Greg appreciate it, Brett appreciate you as well. Thank you 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:08.360 both for being with us. 0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:15.240 Driving liberals crazy three hours a day every day. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:18.600 The Sean Hannity Show is back on the air. 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.440 I'm twenty five till the top of the hour, eight 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:23.200 hundred and nine to four one, Shawn a number you 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.480 want to be a part of the program. I want 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:30.840 to remind you about our friends that are suffering desperately 0:16:30.960 --> 0:16:34.640 in Israel. They're still fighting a seven front war. President 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:37.400 Trump did mention he had a conversation with Prime Minister 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.160 Netan Yahoo, which is good news because help is on 0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:44.520 its way. But it's still thirty five days away. And 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:47.880 I feel very confident that the message is going to 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:50.040 be heard loud and clear. There will be a new 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:53.960 sheriff in town. But in the meantime, you have tens 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.560 and tens of thousands of Israelies that have been displaced 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:01.400 in this holiday season, don't have homes. They've been chased 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:04.399 out of their homes, Rockets being fired into their communities 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.160 every day, and you know, it's it's just been tough. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.000 And that's why we have proudly partnered with the International 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:15.439 Fellowship of Christians and Jews, especially for the holiday season, 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.440 and for them it's a time of fear, uncertainty, and 0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:23.320 during this holiday season, many living through the war all 0:17:23.400 --> 0:17:25.840 throughout the Holy Land. They're grieving the loss of loved 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.399 ones and we can't let them feel forgotten. And they 0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:32.320 need bare necessities. They need shelter, they need food, they 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:36.280 need water, they need medicines, they need basic nourishment. And 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:39.560 that's where hopefully your gift this holiday season will comes 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.960 in and you will give the gift of hope and 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.080 answered prayers for so many now. The IFCJ is an 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:50.040 amazing organization and I completely support them, and I hope 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.199 you will join us and go to their website, SUPPORTIFCJ 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.160 dot org, SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:56.959 You can give them a call. 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.480 It's eight eight eight four eight eight IFCJ eight eight 0:18:00.560 --> 0:18:05.520 eight four eight eight IFCJ and help our friends in Israel. 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:09.800 But certainly help is on the way. One of the 0:18:09.920 --> 0:18:13.480 things that I think I'm most excited about is the 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:18.480 Department of Government Efficiency DOGE as they call it, and 0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.080 the fact, the idea and why does this matter to 0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:24.879 me so much? They're pledging to cut two trillion dollars 0:18:24.920 --> 0:18:28.479 in federal spending and don't think it's going to be easy. 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:34.680 The resistance is going to be fierce against the bureaucratic state, 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:41.280 and I'm just warning. You see, for example, the Biden administration, 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.200 as part of their sabotage, did this five year deal 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:50.280 with the Social Security Administration and the AFGE to allow 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:54.760 tens and tens of thousands of federal workers to remain 0:18:55.000 --> 0:18:58.040 in this hybrid work arrangement where they can tell a 0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.560 work through twenty twenty nine. 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:01.680 Well, that's not part of the plan. 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:06.399 The Elon musk vivek Ramaswami have said to federal employees, 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.840 prepare to show up for work like everybody else in 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:12.119 America shows up for work. There are some people that 0:19:12.200 --> 0:19:15.440 have remote jobs, but in the post COVID world, most 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.560 people now are back showing up at work and show 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.240 up or you're going to lose your job. And many 0:19:21.240 --> 0:19:25.159 of these people will lose their jobs anyway. However, this 0:19:25.720 --> 0:19:28.199 is something. This is a way, another way that Biden 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:32.760 and Harris are trying to sabotage the incoming Trump administration. 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:40.560 There is a Congressman, Eric Burlason from Iowa spoke about 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:44.080 a continuing resolution saying it's shameful the people who celebrate 0:19:44.280 --> 0:19:49.680 celebrate DOGE or the Department of Government Efficiency are going 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.399 to vote for another billion dollars to be added to 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:55.520 the deficit. Anyway, here's what this congressman said. 0:19:58.200 --> 0:20:01.480 It's a total dumpster fire. I think it's garbage. This 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:02.639 is what Washington d C. 0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:03.120 Has done. 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:04.520 This is why I ran for Congress to try to 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:10.080 stop this, and sadly this is happening again. I think 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.119 that it's shameful that people that celebrate Doge coming in 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:16.240 I can't. And yet we're going to vote for another 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.720 billion dollars to be added to the deficit, and so 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:28.160 it's ironic Figger doptin future. Personally, I'm disappointed. I think 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:32.080 that he can do better, he can communicate better. The 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:34.520 fact that we haven't seen the language today and we're 0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:38.400 supposed to vote on it this week is unacceptable now. 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.960 Congress Woman Victoria Sparks out of Indiana said, I will 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:45.159 stay as a registered Republican, but will not sit on 0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:48.040 committees or participate in the caucus until I see the 0:20:48.119 --> 0:20:52.960 Republican leadership in Congress is all about governing. I don't 0:20:53.000 --> 0:20:55.639 need to be involved in circuses. I'd rather spend more 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:59.399 of my time helping at DOGE and at Tom Massey 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:03.399 to save our republic as was mandated by the American people. 0:21:04.040 --> 0:21:08.119 And she is going deep in the paint and saying 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.880 you know what, I'm sorry, this matters, this is real. 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:14.600 We have nearly forty you know, trillion dollars in debt, 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:17.359 I think one way, and by the way, we do 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:21.360 have money. We have to spend Social Security, Medicare. They're 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:23.840 headed towards insolvency. It's gonna have to be dealt with. 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.359 Money's gonna have to be allocated. They raided the lock box, 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.560 they stole it. And in the other area that's gonna 0:21:30.600 --> 0:21:35.080 need well at least reappropriation of monies and elimination of waste, 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.120 fraud and abuse. But we've got a gap of vulnerability 0:21:38.200 --> 0:21:43.560 in terms of the military technology that will represent modern warfare, 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.760 which these wars are no longer going to be fought, 0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:49.679 you know, on battlefields. They're gonna be fought in air 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:54.560 conditioned offices of people and people pushing buttons. We better 0:21:54.600 --> 0:21:57.399 be prepared for that as well. So that's gonna take 0:21:57.440 --> 0:21:59.120 a lot of money, and we're gonna have to build 0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:02.520 a border wall. That's going to cost you probably billions 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:04.879 by the time it's all said and done, but it's 0:22:04.920 --> 0:22:07.760 something we have to do, and we have to depoor people. 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.800 That's not going to be cheap either. Anyway, Congresswoman Victoria 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:12.719 Sparks is with us. 0:22:12.760 --> 0:22:15.720 How are you good to talk to you son? Thank 0:22:15.760 --> 0:22:17.560 you for bringing attention to this issue. 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.280 Well, first of all, I'm dead set against taxes that 0:22:21.320 --> 0:22:24.520 will hurt economic growth. Economic growth will bring more revenue 0:22:24.560 --> 0:22:26.600 into the government number one. Number two, if we do 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:31.160 become energy dominant, a top piece of Donald Trump's platform, 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:35.399 that will help offset a lot of the moneies that 0:22:35.520 --> 0:22:37.840 I know that I've identified that it's going to have 0:22:38.000 --> 0:22:40.199 to be spent. Do you agree with me on spending 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:45.280 on the military, shoring up Social Security and Medicare from insolvency, 0:22:45.359 --> 0:22:47.639 and building the wall, of course, and. 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:51.040 We need to have money to actually to serve the 0:22:51.160 --> 0:22:54.200 people for the causes that the government should provide. But 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.600 we cannot continue what we're doing right now to give 0:22:57.600 --> 0:23:00.680 the money left and right and really just fraud and 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:03.119 abuse in the system. And I think Elan and Vivik 0:23:03.200 --> 0:23:06.080 are actually pretty conservative, just a two tree, and there 0:23:06.160 --> 0:23:08.600 is way more fraud like that. Just in healthcare. We 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:12.720 have trillions of offsets, the truly over building all of 0:23:12.840 --> 0:23:16.800 the system and given to large Oligotholis, and you know 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:20.159
