Speaker 3: Not happy to be back.

36
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 6: Enough enough, I guess, says Joe Biden's days of giving

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 6: presidential addresses is over. He says, the soul of America

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 6: is in jeopardy. But really, the soul of America is well,

39
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 6: it's the Maga movement and it's Donald Trump. And here's

40
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 6: a part of Biden's blabber, his last flabber. In fact,

41
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 6: as president, I.

42
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 7: Want to warrn the country some things that give me

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 7: great concern. This is a dangerous concert. And that's the

44
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 7: dangerous conversation of power in the hands of very few,

45
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 7: ultra wealthy people and the dangerous consequences if their abusive

46
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 7: power is left unchecked. Today, an oligarchy is taking shape

47
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 7: in America of extreme wealth, power and influence. That literally

48
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,239
Speaker 7: threatens our entire democracy.

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: Pot kettle black in the middle, really, like, that's right, unbelievable, unbelievable,

50
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: And I mean there is a systemic problem of people

51
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: abusing their power once elected in this country. And I

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: think Joe Biden is probably the poster child thereof David.

53
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

54
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 5: I mean I had a chance to either stare at

55
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: the wall or watch him last night.

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 3: I decided to stare at the.

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 5: Wall because it was much more entertaining. Nothing will be

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 5: remembered at all from this speech. I mean, no one

59
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 5: cares what the President of the United States has to say,

60
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 5: and that should really concern us that when a president

61
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: who has no moral clarity speaks, no one is listening.

62
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 5: You know, it makes me think of EF Hutton back

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 5: in the day. There was a nineteen seventies commercial. When

64
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 5: EF Hutton talks, people listened. Well, Joe Biden is not

65
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 5: Ef Hutton because nobody's listening. And this oligarchy he talks about, Gina,

66
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 5: give me a break. How about your own family is

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 5: an oligarchy? How about your own administration? Your own regime

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 5: has been an oligarchy? How about Fauci? Should we talk

69
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 5: about COVID?

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 2: We can go down the.

71
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 5: List of little mini oligarchies within the Biden regime this

72
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 5: whole time.

73
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 6: Gina, Well, you guys, it's our job to watch these

74
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 6: kinds of things. So last night, my family and I

75
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 6: had decided to do a little Bible like a little

76
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 6: Bible table talk thing. We wanted to discuss infant baptism

77
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 6: and predestination. Those are the two things my kids want

78
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 6: to discuss. And so I'm sitting there, I'm like, oh, oh,

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 6: you guys have to pause because I've got to watch

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 6: this speech real fast. Is you know. It's Joe Biden's

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 6: a farewell address, And I told him a little bit

82
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 6: about the history of farewell addresses that I.

83
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 4: Learned right here on this show.

84
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 6: And so we were sitting there and I literally we

85
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 6: were all like, we all looked at the.

86
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,159
Speaker 4: DV for like twenty seconds.

87
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 6: We're like, yeah, never mind, anyway, on predestination, go to colastions.

88
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 6: I mean, it was just so boring. I can't Yeah, yeah, anyway,

89
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 6: next topic, guys, Because there's.

90
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 4: Really nothing else to say about this. It's almost over.

91
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: That's all that matters. Anyway.

92
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 6: There is monumental news in the war between Israel and Hamas.

93
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 6: The two sides have agreed to a ceasefire and a

94
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 6: hostage deal. It goes into effect on Sunday, with three

95
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 6: Israeli women hostages slated to be released that day. The

96
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 6: agreement will put a forty two day pause on the

97
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 6: fifteen month long war, while Hamas is committing to releasing

98
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 6: dozens of hostages taken from Israel, Israel will in turn

99
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 6: three hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Now this will include, unfortunately,

100
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 6: some who are a massive terror threat. The first thing

101
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 6: I did was text Gol Klev, who has been on

102
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 6: this show many times, my friend over there in Israel,

103
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 6: and he said, with this, it will almost assure another

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 6: horrendous day like we saw in October at some point.

105
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,359
Speaker 6: So that the reassurances and Israel knows this, and we

106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 6: Americans know this as well. That Donald Trump is coming,

107
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 6: and I have a feeling this deal will get a

108
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 6: lot better subsequently. But David, I've been just so curious

109
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 6: to hear your thoughts ever since I talked to Gol.

110
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: I've got so many thoughts.

111
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 5: I guess we're gonna have to spread them out throughout

112
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 5: the hour because we've got to get to our guests

113
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 5: and all of that. But it's a horrible deal. It's

114
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 5: an absolute horrible deal. But you're right, Gena. The good

115
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 5: news is is that under President Trump's watch, no one's

116
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 5: gonna mess with Trump, no one's gonna mess with America.

117
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 5: And for four years, I think things will be just fine.

118
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 5: The problem is is that when Trump leaves and the

119
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 5: next air quote Neville Chamberlain becomes President of the United States,

120
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 5: whoever that liberal, feckless, weekless president is, You're gonna have

121
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 5: all of this start to start again.

122
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: That's the problem.

123
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 5: And one last thing I just want to say, just

124
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 5: remember in twenty eleven, it was ya Ya Sinhwar who of.

125
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 8: Course led Hamas.

126
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 5: He was released as part of a prisoner's exchange in

127
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 5: twenty eleven and then seven years later he was heading

128
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 5: up Hamas. Of course he's dead now, but the point

129
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 5: is is that he led Hamas and he was released

130
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,280
Speaker 5: in a prisoner exchange for the Israeli soldier back in

131
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 5: the day. If you remember that, so one of these

132
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 5: terrorists it's going to be released in this deal, is

133
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 5: going to come back and be the next ya Ya Sinowar.

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 3: And that's the problem.

135
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: Well, overnight, guys, we were hearing that the deal has

136
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: not been signed. In that Benjamin Netnu who has some

137
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: pause right now, thinking that Hamas may renig.

138
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 2: So until it signed and Sunday shows.

139
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: Up and those three women are released, I'm going to

140
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: just push pause on and say this is in talks,

141
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: but it's not a done deal just yet because he

142
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,480
Speaker 1: hasn't been signed.

143
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: Just want to put that out there after Jina.

144
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 6: Our Bible verse, Yes, today's Bible verse comes from Joshua

145
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 6: one five through six, that it reads, there shall not

146
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 6: any man be able to stand before THEE all the days.

147
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 4: Of thy life as I was with Moses.

148
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 6: So I will be with THEE. I will not fail THEE,

149
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 6: nor forsake THEE. Be strong and of good courage. For

150
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 6: unto this people shall the divide for an inheritance the

151
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 6: land which I swear unto their fathers give to them.

152
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: All.

153
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 6: Right, beautiful words this morning, that do give us a

154
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 6: reassurance as we go into this very critical week, very

155
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 6: important week. Lots of antics will be for sure happening.

156
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 4: But here we go.

157
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: Well, let's do it.

158
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 5: Back to Biden's farewell address. Here, here's a little fact

159
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 5: from fiction.

160
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: Because Biden keeps saying sixteen million jobs were created.

161
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: That's not true.

162
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 5: It's more like five million after factory in all of

163
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 5: the jobs that came back after COVID, which is about

164
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 5: eleven million. Also, peak inflation was at nine percent during

165
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 5: his time in office. Prices overall, they were up twenty percent.

166
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 5: Here's something, by the way, he wouldn't say yesterday, and

167
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: for good reason, the number of illegal immigrants led into

168
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 5: our country by this regime was nearly eleven million.

169
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: And by the way, that may be low balling it.

170
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: And then of course you've got the wars in Ukraine

171
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: and the Middle East, all happening on his watch.

172
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: Because of weakness.

173
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 5: Well, let's bring in Rav's national campaign correspondent, host of

174
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: Saving America, Brian Glenn Bryan. Thanks for letting us blab

175
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 5: on and on. I say blab No, we had important

176
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: things to say. But talk to us a little about

177
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: what you thought of that farewell speech last night and

178
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 5: did you fall asleep and if you did, what time?

179
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 8: Doctor Jana followed your lead.

180
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 9: I started to watch it and I realized, Okay, he's

181
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 9: not really saying anything at all.

182
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 8: And to your point earlier, no one cares.

183
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 9: What his farewell speech is they've lived hell for the

184
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,439
Speaker 9: last four years. They don't care what you predict is coming.

185
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 9: The American people think. I think these fair. I think

186
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 9: anything out of Joe Biden's mouth right now is mute.

187
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 9: And people are looking forward to Monday. That's when everything

188
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 9: changes on Monday. Anything prior to that, we're ready to

189
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 9: move past it.

190
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's stay in Washington, d C.

191
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: Brian, How did you think the big three for Senate

192
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: confirmations Pam Bondi, Mark or Rubio, and John Ratcliffe handled

193
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: their hearings yesterday. And what are you looking forward to today,

194
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: Pam Bondi. Of course, back on Capitol Hille, I feel

195
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: sorry for I mean two days I having to deal

196
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: with that foolishness.

197
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, that being questioned about the twenty twenty election and

198
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 9: all of that. I think everyone so far have handled

199
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 9: themselves perfectly.

200
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 8: They're all communicators.

201
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 9: The biggest thing here is to be able to communicate

202
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 9: your vision for that department. Pam Bondi, you're taking a

203
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 9: look at her right there. She was grilled from all angles,

204
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 9: very much like Headseth was the other day. And I

205
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 9: think Rubio handled himself as well. Look, these people are

206
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 9: they are the right people in the right position at

207
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 9: the right time. Look, they can have all the hearings

208
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 9: they want. At the end of the day, all three

209
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 9: of these that we're talking about, and of course Christynome

210
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,319
Speaker 9: coming up on Friday, all these people will be confirmed

211
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 9: and put into place. But it's kind of fun to

212
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 9: watch the left loser mind asking the most frivolous questions,

213
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 9: is Joe Biden president?

214
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 8: Did he win the twenty twenty election?

215
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 9: And you know, they all want to trip all of

216
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 9: these nominees up on some type of false lie or

217
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 9: some type of narrative that they might have pushed back

218
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 9: four years ago. But I think they all handled themselves

219
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 9: in great dignity for the office, and I'm proud of

220
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 9: each and every one of them. I want to say

221
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 9: this though, if I could just for a second, our

222
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 9: biggest obstacle to get things done at this point is

223
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 9: not the Democrats, it's.

224
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 8: Not the Liberals, it is our own party.

225
00:10:53,760 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 9: Real quickly, yesterday's budget reconciliation meeting, there were two report

226
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 9: Republicans that stood out and once again voiced their opposition

227
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 9: to two of the biggest campaign platforms. No tax on tips,

228
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 9: no tax on overtime no tax on social Security. Think

229
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 9: about that. Those are some of the biggest. He announced

230
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 9: them in Vegas, he got the biggest applause.

231
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 8: Yesterday. Mcclin talk of California.

232
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 9: Who is sixty eight years old, voiced his opposition to

233
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 9: no tax on social Security.

234
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 8: Right now.

235
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 9: Think how many seniors at home right now are losing

236
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 9: their mind hearing that there are Republicans in the House

237
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 9: that are against no tax on Social Security. Rich McCormick

238
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 9: of Georgia, Republican Congressman from Georgia, once again voiced his

239
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 9: opposition to no tax on tips. Let me tell you something.

240
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 9: My sources within the Trump campaign told me yesterday they

241
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 9: were about to double down on the no ties on

242
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 9: tips in the first few weeks of the administration. So

243
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 9: my message to every Republican out there that thinks that

244
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,839
Speaker 9: the American people voted them into office, they didn't. They

245
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 9: voted Donald Trump into office. They voted for his agenda

246
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 9: to turn this country around. And I don't see how

247
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 9: any Republican at this point can put their personal pettiness

248
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 9: in front of the American people and what they voted for. So,

249
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 9: if you live in mcclintoss District, you live in Rich

250
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 9: McCormick's district.

251
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 8: You light their district.

252
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 9: Office up, you light their office up here in DC,

253
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 9: and you say, you know what, you put your petty

254
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 9: grievances aside, and you do what's best for the American people.

255
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 9: They put Donald J. Trump in charge, and his agenda

256
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 9: should move forward. And it's a shame that our own

257
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 9: party is our biggest.

258
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 8: Enemy right now.

259
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 9: We cannot go back to the old Republican Party.

260
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 8: This is a new age in DC.

261
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 9: On that, guys, I'm sorry to take up the time,

262
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 9: but that is how to get that out because I

263
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 9: think it's very important for our viewers to know.

264
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 6: Thank you, gentlemen. I vote to confirm Brian as the

265
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 6: official majority whip of the House of Representatives.

266
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 8: What say you?

267
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 2: Yes, energy drinks?

268
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 9: Yes, yeah, Oh that's a coffee right here. But listen there,

269
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 9: here's my biggest take my biggest, my biggest viewer takeaway

270
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 9: on this is this. We have the majority. There's no excuses.

271
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 9: Our biggest obstacle is our own party right now, and

272
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 9: we have got to get these people that are not

273
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 9: locking step with President Trump. We got to get him

274
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 9: in line, folks, or we're going to go back to

275
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 9: the old Republican party where we don't get anything done,

276
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 9: we can't afford to do it.

277
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 8: Guys, I'm sorry I went on a rant, but absolutely.

278
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 6: Brian, we completely understand. Brian Glenn, thank you so much

279
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 6: for being here.

280

284
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 6: salad from Vice President in California's own Harris on the

285
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 6: devastating LA wildfires. Wait until you hear the tone deafness

286
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 6: this message, she said at the White House. American sunrises

287
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 6: back in minutes, and there's an end to these words salads.

288

Speaker 5: everybody to American Sunrise. I'm David Brody coming up. Talk

295
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 5: about dysfunction. How about Karen Bass in Los Angeles, the

296
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 5: mayor under major fire there. Oh, I said the word fire.

297
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 8: I really didn't mean that.

298
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 11: It was not a joke.

299
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 5: I apologize, But she's under a lot of criticism about

300
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: the way she's handling the fires there in southern California.

301
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: Will discuss it in a moment.

302
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 5: First, though, Terrence bag standing by with the latest headlines

303
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 5: from the Real America's Voice newsroom sponsored by AMAC.

304
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 12: The Association of Mature American Citizens is the conservative voice

305
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 12: for Americans fifty and older. AMAC is fighting for the

306
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 12: values that you hold dear and joined today together, we

307
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 12: can write the course of America.

308
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: A handful of Trump's elections are facing confirmation hearings today.

309
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: The list includes Attorney General nominee Pam Bondi, who will

310
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: make an encore appearance.

311
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 2: It's a follow up.

312
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: To Wednesday's contentious and at times adversarial face off with

313
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee. The former Florida Attorney

314
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: General and likely next to US Attorney General, addressed questions

315
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: about the weaponization of the Justice Department, but also found

316
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: herself in a testy back and forth with Democrats about

317
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: everything from her record to the pardoning of Jay Sixers.

318
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 13: If confirmed, I will look at the files and will

319
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 13: hundreds of cases on day one, I will look at

320
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 13: every file I am as.

321
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 12: Will will you advise the president?

322
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 14: Ask you the question I would have plenty of staff,

323
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 14: you said, of course you want.

324
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 12: You'll be able to review.

325
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 3: I'm not going to misread this body, nor you.

326
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 12: All right, let me ask another question you don't want

327
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 12: to ask that.

328
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 15: Let me answers will also.

329
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: And while the battle lines are being drawn on the

330
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 1: Senate side of the US capital, and anticipated cease fire

331
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: agreement between Israel and Hamas appears to be on hold

332
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: this morning, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin nette Yahoo's office

333
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: is accusing Hermas.

334
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 2: Of renigging on the terms.

335
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: News of the deal was met with celebration in Gaza

336
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: and cautious relief in Israel. The pause in fighting is

337
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: supposed to begin on Sunday and food the release of

338
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: three Israeli women who are being held captive by Palestinian

339
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: terror organization or by the Palestinian terror organization. The truce

340
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: is set to last forty two days, with thirty three

341
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: hostages being released during the first seven days. Back here

342
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: in the United States, though both Presidents Biden and Trump

343
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: taking credit for getting the agreement.

344
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: Over the finish line.

345
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: So now let's bring in our next guest to talk

346
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: a bit more about this. The ceasefire deal and the

347
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: hostage deal, of course, the big conversation around the world.

348
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,199
Speaker 1: Alex Treman, the CEO and Jerusalem Bureau chief of Jewish

349
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,159
Speaker 1: News Syndicate, joins us now to talk more about this. Alex,

350
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: first of all, welcome, good morning, Thanks for being here.

351
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: What is the latest. Give us an update on whether

352
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: this deal is actually going to move forward. It's my

353
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: understanding that there are some pause right now on the

354
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: Israeli side because of concerns about whether Hermas is actually

355
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: going to follow through on the terms.

356
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 16: Yes, good morning, Thank you for having me. At the moment,

357
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 16: the Israeli security Cabinet has not yet voted to approve

358
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 16: this deal. They were scheduled to do so at eleven

359
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 16: am Israel time, it's now four hours later, because they

360
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 16: are concerned that Hamas is pulling out of some of

361
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 16: the commitments that had been made as part of the deal.

362
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 16: In addition, part of Nathaniel's own cabinet, his own coalition,

363
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 16: right wing members of his government are saying that this

364
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 16: is not a good deal for Israel, it does not

365
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 16: leave Israel safer, it does not even end the entirety

366
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 16: of the hostage crisis that we have, and they're not

367
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 16: they have yet to agree to support the deal, and

368
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 16: they could even potentially crash in Nathaniel's coalition over it.

369
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 2: I don't read Hebrew, but I've seen a lot of video.

370
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,880
Speaker 1: I've seen protesters there in Israel on the streets. One

371
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 1: thing I do read fairly well is body language. And

372
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 1: it seems to me, based on what I was looking at,

373
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 1: that people aren't necessarily convinced, even on the streets that

374
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: there's this caution about whether this is going to go forward.

375
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: You're there, what is the sentiment on the street among

376
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: the people.

377
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 16: Well, again, like you said, you know, this is a

378
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 16: deal that's being signed with a terrorist organization Ramas. They're

379
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 16: the ones that took the hostages to begin with, unprovoked

380
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 16: on October seventh, taking two hundred and fifty hostages, killing

381
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 16: twelve hundred people. As far as Israelis are concerned, any

382
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 16: agreement that Kamas makes with Israel is not as good

383
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 16: as the paper it's written on until the hostages are

384
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 16: back and deliver at home safe and sound. They are

385
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 16: not back in safe and sound, so Israelis are very skeptical.

386
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 16: They're also skeptical about Israeli pull outs from population centers.

387
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: In the Gaza Strip.

388
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 16: We've seen over the last several weeks that Kamas is

389
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 16: continuing to reorganize itself and further implement itself as the

390
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 16: leader of the Gaza Strip. And so these are against

391
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 16: the war aims of the State of Israel. So there's

392
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 16: a lot of discomfort here in addition to the release

393
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 16: of over a thousand hostages in return for a thousand

394
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 16: security prisoners in return for only thirty three hostages.

395
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 2: Alex, we appreciate your time.

396
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: Unfortunately we'll have to leave the conversation there, but we'll

397
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: talk soon, I promise.

398
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: Thank you so much. I enjoining us this morning. We're

399
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 2: going to take a quick break. We'll back in a moment.

400
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 5: Miami, Florida live sixty three degrees right.

401
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 8: Now in Miami.

402
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 3: In case you're wondering the temperature.

403
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 8: I don't know how many people were wondering. I was curious.

404
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 3: Welcome back everybody to American Centrize.

405
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm David Rody.

406
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 5: So could the iconic Hollywood Sign become the latest monument

407
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 5: of Los Angeles to become scorched earth? Dangerous winds fueling

408
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 5: these deadly wildfires. They took a break for a bit,

409
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: but now they're coming back.

410
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 17: They have.

411
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 3: Now these fires have.

412
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 5: Killed at least twenty five people, thousands of homes have

413
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 5: been burnt to a crisp, They've sent hundreds of thousands

414
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 5: of lives spinning out of control. So you've got the

415
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 5: Eton and the Palisades fires. They're now the most destructive

416
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 5: and the second most destructive wildfires, respectively in Southern California history.

417
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the wildfires with Hal Kempher.

418
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 5: He's the CEO of Global Risk Intelligence to Planning Incorporated. Also,

419
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 5: by the way, a retired Marine intelligence officer. How appreciate

420
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 5: you being here and thanks for your service to our country.

421
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 5: I want to talk about the La Mayor Karen Bass.

422
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 5: I mean, this is really all about how to not

423
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 5: handle a crisis. She still can't look Californians in the

424
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 5: eyes and answer questions about our controversial trip to Ghana.

425
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: Now there's some new photos clearly showing her at a

426
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:31,840
Speaker 5: cocktail party there, and you got the fires that first

427
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 5: began igniting and spreading while she was there. She came

428
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 5: back obviously quickly, but maybe not quick enough.

429
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: I want you to listen to this exchange.

430
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 5: This week about whether she should have even gone overseas

431
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 5: to Ghana.

432
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: Have a look.

433
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 11: Looking back what you have taken that trip overseas.

434
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 10: You know, I am going to focus today and what

435
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 10: we know.

436
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: I mean, she just wants to avoid this at all costs.

437
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 5: Talk about the leadership here or the lack thereof, and

438
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 5: poor management as well well.

439
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 18: David, the problem is that you wish you have as

440
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 18: a political situation.

441
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 19: She wanted to go overseas.

442
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 18: She wanted to go to Ghana. By the way, I

443
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 18: should mention I have done work for the Department of

444
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 18: Homeland Security in Ghana. I have helped them set up

445
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 18: early warning for various different things there. So I know

446
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:27,160
Speaker 18: the country well. But I live in southern California, and

447
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,679
Speaker 18: you know she made a mistake. It goes beyond just

448
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 18: taking the trip. It was ignoring the weather. It was

449
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 18: very clear from over a week out that the winds

450
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 18: were coming in. We're gonna have a high wind event.

451
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 18: It was going to be probably an unprecedented high wind event.

452
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 18: We're outside of normal fire seasons, so a lot of

453
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 18: things that stand by weren't on standby. She just wasn't

454
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 18: getting all of this intelligence, if you want to use

455
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 18: that term, that should have been coming in but that's

456
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 18: a conscious decision that literally goes back, you know, almost

457
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 18: fifteen years throughrock California, through the not just a Los Angeles,

458
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 18: but all the way up to you know, particularly with

459
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 18: the state where I hate to say it, but there's

460
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 18: kind of this idea on some of these early warning

461
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,919
Speaker 18: things that ignorance is bliss. Well, as we've seen in

462
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 18: you know, certainly Pacific Palisades and Altadena, ignorance is absolutely

463
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 18: not bliss. It is sure hell when these things happened

464
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 18: and she ignored those warning signs and you know, she

465
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 18: finally admit she shouldn't have gone. But I think it

466
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 18: goes well beyond just that. I mean, it goes to

467
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,320
Speaker 18: a whole pattern and institutional way that some of the

468
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 18: senior decisions make making is being done, and I dare

469
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 18: I say a very partisan way when you're talking about

470
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 18: the state of California.

471
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 6: Well, speaking of the state of California, Kamala Harris has

472
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 6: been serving up some word salad to Californians, urging all

473
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 6: of those who've been displaced and devastated by the fires

474
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 6: to remain patient. Listen to this.

475
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 20: It's critically important to the extent you can find anything

476
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 20: that gives you an ability to be patient in this extremely.

477
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 21: Dangerous and unprecedented crisis.

478
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 6: I mean, people can be patient that competent leadership is

479
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 6: soon coming to America. And as one Twitter user says,

480
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 6: quote word, salads are off the menu after January twentieth,

481
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 6: at least they have that coming, right.

482
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 18: Doctor Gina.

483
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 2: I listen to that.

484
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 18: I was thinking of that movie The Outlaw Josie Wells,

485
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 18: where you know, he says we will endeavor to persevere.

486
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 18: It just makes no sense to me this patients saying, look,

487
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 18: when you have an emergency like this, people.

488
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 15: Need aid immediately.

489
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 18: They need to get out there. And frankly, she's trying

490
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 18: to cover for the fact that we can't get that

491
00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 18: relief out there when we need it.

492
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 8: But it goes beyond that.

493
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 18: When she was the Attorney General, the Department of Homeland

494
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 18: Security had a comprehensive preparedness guide that talked about early

495
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 18: warning for events like this, you know, driving, mitigation, driving

496
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:04,160
Speaker 18: for paradis, decisions for state local leaders, and her office

497
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 18: literally shut it down saying it isn't needed. That's that's

498
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 18: that's historic, that's a that's a sworn testimony. So when

499
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 18: it comes to this It's not just what she's saying now,

500
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 18: it's what she said in the past. It's what led

501
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 18: to this moment where literally we have large chunks of

502
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 18: Los Angeles in ashes.

503
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 2: How Terrance here, Good to see you.

504
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: I'm just curious, since you're there in southern California, I'd

505
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: love to get your perspective. How long do you think

506
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: it's going to take to recover from these wildfires? Is

507
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,679
Speaker 1: l A Are the affected areas ever going to be

508
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: able to recover and get back to what they once were?

509
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 18: Terrence, That's a big discussion I've been having with a

510
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 18: lot of emergency managers and others out here as to

511
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 18: what how long will it take?

512
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:48,640
Speaker 8: You know, because of.

513
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 18: The problem with the fire insurance that was a lot

514
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 18: of fire insurance was just canceled outright last year, particularly

515
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 18: in the fall, and UH and and law of the

516
00:25:58,160 --> 00:25:59,959
Speaker 18: insurance that was put in its place was not as

517
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 18: adequate as what they had before. Rebuilding is going to

518
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 18: be difficult. There's only so much federal funds. They're looking

519
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 18: at potentially up to one hundred and fifty billion dollars

520
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 18: in damage. There's just no way that the state can

521
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 18: cover that, and they're going to try and shift that

522
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 18: burden onto the federal government, because that's what California always

523
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,439
Speaker 18: does on this.

524
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 8: It's going to take.

525
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 18: Years and years for recovery on this. And if you

526
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 18: look at Paradise, which was a much smaller fire or

527
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 18: a much smaller event or smaller city, I should say,

528
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 18: huge devastation that was several years ago, and they're still

529
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 18: building back. And so even though there's money to rebuild

530
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 18: in a lot of la a lot of these areas,

531
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 18: you're probably gonna see some empty lots there for a

532
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 18: long period of time.

533
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 5: Hell kem for great information this morning. Stay safe out there,

534
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 5: and we really appreciate you joining us.

535
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 8: Thank you, Thanks, all right, all right, thank you?

536
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: All right. Coming up, speaking of the horrible wildfires, what

537
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,040
Speaker 5: are the health risks that linger months.

538
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 3: After or the fires are put out.

539
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 5: We're gonna have some tips to keep your health all

540
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,920
Speaker 5: safe and sound. But first, Bidenomics. Oh have you heard

541
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 5: it's an utter failure, Joe, don't trip. Inflation rising to

542
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 5: levels that haven't been hit in quite some time.

543
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 3: How will President elect Donald Trump.

544
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 2: Tame the inflation crisis?

545
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: That story more.

546
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 5: When American Sunrise rolls on on a Thursday, all.

547
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 6: Right, well, welcome back to American Sunrise. I'm back to Tina.

548
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 6: Thank you for joining us time now for today's health

549
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 6: news sponsored by the Wellness Company and under the Microscope. Today,

550
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 6: you want to know how to clean your home if

551
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 6: you were one of those who was somewhere near that

552
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 6: wildfire smoke and it got inside. There are certain things

553
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 6: you can do to clean when fires burn and char

554
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 6: neighborhood flames burn all kinds of harmful materials that would

555
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 6: lease a mix of chemicals that could be potentially more toxic.

556
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 6: Here are some things you can do to protect your

557
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 6: health after wildfire smoke is gone. When you're ready to

558
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 6: clean your home, start by protecting yourself where at least

559
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 6: in N ninety five or kN ninety five masks.

560
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 4: Those all they're.

561
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 6: Good for, actually is these fires and gloves, goggles and

562
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 6: clothing that covers your skin. Cleaning can send some of

563
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 6: those gases and ashen too the air.

564
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 8: Again.

565
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 4: Keep people with heart.

566
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 6: Or lung diseases, older adults, pregnant women, children, and pets

567
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 6: away from your clean up activities. Don't want them breathing

568
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 6: that stuff. Vacuum your floors, drapes, and furniture. A recent

569
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 6: scientific study documents how cleaning all surfaces within a home

570
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 6: can reduce reservoirs of toxic and lower indoor concentrations of

571
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 6: some of these things. Once the air outside has been cleaned,

572
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 6: open up windows to let air in. Avoid harsh chemical

573
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 6: cleaners because they can react with those chemicals that are

574
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 6: already in the ash, so you want to do that. Also,

575
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 6: when you do vacuum, it's better to use a moist

576
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 6: vacuum or a wet vac so that it catches those

577
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: particles and they aren't released back into the air. Also,

578
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 6: clean your HVAC filter and ducks to avoid spreading ash further,

579
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 6: and change your filters at least monthly until the smell

580
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 6: is completely gone. Portable air cleaners with carbon filters can

581
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 6: help remove some of those particles. And if your car

582
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 6: smells like smoke, clean it the same way you cleaned

583
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 6: your house, and also consider changing your cabin air filter

584
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 6: in your car. Some of us, like myself, didn't even

585
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 6: know if there was one of those. It's a new

586
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 6: day in America though, and a new administration in Washington, DC.

587
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 6: A lot of excitement and optimism, but the reality is

588
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 6: a lot of work to do too, especially When it

589
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 6: comes to fixing our broken healthcare system, those responsible for

590
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 6: breaking it aren't going to just go away. The challenges

591
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 6: our system faces won't disappear overnight. Now more than ever,

592
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 6: you want to be prepared, and that is where the

00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 6: Meanwhile, David Brody Inflation in America just days before Trump

612
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 6: gets back in off.

613
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 4: Inflation is rising.

614
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: Again, right, David, No surprise at all.

615
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 5: And you know, according to data from the Labor Department,

616
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 5: the consumer price index went uper point four percent last

617
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 5: month after climbing in previous months. Just in twenty twenty four,

618
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 5: the CPI, that's that the consumer Price Index CPI.

619
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: Climbed nearly three percent.

620
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 5: So let's bring in Ed Botowski Chapwood Investments managing partner.

621
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 5: Ed good to have you here, So take us into

622
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 5: this consumer price index world and the numbers and the

623
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 5: inflation numbers and what it all means for the Trump

624
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 5: administration because they're going to have challenges ahead to tackle this.

625
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 22: Yes, and it's a really important discussion because right now

626
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 22: you have rising prices and let's remember, inflation is the

627
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 22: rate of change, and the rate of change got up

628
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 22: to about nine point one percent at one point under

629
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 22: the Biden administration, and that has everything to do with

630
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 22: the price of oil. And also regulations. Regulations are very

631
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 22: taxing and are are inflationary. So the more money you

632
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 22: have to spend on lawyers and compliance, the more money

633
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 22: then gets or the cost then gets transmitted over to

634
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 22: the individual consumer. So everything that you spend money on

635
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 22: on a business level, tends to get pushed down. So

636
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 22: the government has a targeted rate of about one to

637
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 22: two percent on inflation, and right now it's at two

638
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 22: point nine percent, which is much higher than what the

639
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 22: government had projected. And these costs. When inflation comes down

640
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 22: from nine point one down to two point nine, that

641
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 22: doesn't mean prices went down. That just means the rate

642
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 22: of change has slowed. And that's an important thing because

643
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 22: a lot of people think that prices have reduced, but

644
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 22: they have it. They've stuck. They're stuck at what level

645
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 22: they were at. But the rate of change has come down,

646
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 22: which is a positive thing, but it's still way above

647
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 22: where it should be. And under the Trump administration, we're

648
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 22: hoping to get less regulation and more energy being produced,

649
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 22: which is going to bring in levels energy prices down,

650
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 22: which is going to be anti inflationary or deflationary.

651
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 19: Ed.

652
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 6: I been talking to you for years about all things economic,

653
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 6: and it's fascinating to me that Donald Trump takes note

654
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 6: that Americans have had to deal with an internal revenue

655
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 6: service breathing down their necks, punishing them for things they

656
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 6: sometimes didn't even know they did wrong, including him, by

657
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 6: the way, But now it is time for an external

658
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 6: revenue service. How is this going to work ed?

659
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 22: Well, you know, Trump is going to have to go

660
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 22: in front of Congress to get this passed. He says

661
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 22: it's going to start January twentieth, in about four days

662
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 22: from now. But there's also the consumer there's a division

663
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,959
Speaker 22: that has already set up to collect tariffs, but it

664
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 22: isn't doing a great job at it, and he's going

665
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 22: to be imposing at least, he says, he's going to

666
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 22: be imposing a bunch of new tariffs and he needs

667
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 22: an outside group to go and collect those. They say

668
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 22: that over a ten year period, it could bring in

669
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 22: another two trillion dollars to offset our national debt. And

670
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 22: that's a huge thing because we bring in so much

671
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 22: less money than what we spend. We spend right now

672
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 22: about one and a half trillion dollars more than what

673
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 22: we bring in. So we have got to change the

674
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 22: way things are going at this point. And the external

675
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,799
Speaker 22: revenue Service, you know, is just a new branding for

676
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,359
Speaker 22: I can't remember the name of the group, but there

677
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 22: is a group out there that's set up to bring

678
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 22: in revenue from other countries. And it's not doing a

679
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 22: very good job at it.

680
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 6: But I heard mention of this securing Medicare and also

681
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 6: Social Security.

682
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 4: What is your take on that.

683
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,839
Speaker 6: Do you think it'll go more to that or will

684
00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 6: it go to reducing debt or could it do both?

685
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 22: Well, it's going to have.

686
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 2: To do both.

687
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 22: But you know, when we're thirty six trillion dollars in

688
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 22: the whole over a ten year period, bringing in two

689
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 22: trillion doesn't really do it because we're just going to

690
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 22: be increasing our spending. You know, we have to make

691
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 22: sure that the Trump administration, in addition to bringing in revenue,

692
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,319
Speaker 22: cuts down on their expenses because there's two sides to

693
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 22: the coin. You know, not only how much money you

694
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 22: bring in, but how much money you spend. And these

695
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 22: are mandatory spending programs, Social Security and Medicare, So it's

696
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 22: going to be very, very difficult for us to bring

697
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 22: that down by just bringing in tariff money from outside.

698
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 19: The United States.

699
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 6: Edbutowski, thank you so much for being.

700

720
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: Mike Britton, joining us to talk about some of what's

721
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: happening here with the company. Mike, good to see you,

722
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: my friend. Thank you first of all for this. This

723
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 1: is the Magament Blend. You promised that you would send it.

724
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: You are a man of your word. You sent and

725
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: I promised that I would do a live taste test.

726
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: So as I prepare for this fact, here's my cup

727
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 1: right here. I was telling you just a moment ago.

728
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: It's been steeping for about ten minutes. Telling me about magamint.

729
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:07,280
Speaker 2: What's in it? What makes it unique?

730
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 17: Yeah, magamint is our take on like a Moroccan mint

731
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 17: if you ever heard of that. It's pretty much green

732
00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 17: tea with mint in it. So ours is specifically green

733
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 17: tea with a spearmint, and we put a couple of other,

734
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 17: you know, more American twists on it as well. Maybe

735
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 17: you'll maybe you'll find that out during the taste test.

736
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 1: All right, So first of all, I guess I'm becoming

737
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: a tea smile yay, right before your very eyes. So

738
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: I'm smelling the tea, and I must say I do

739
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: get the hints of mint, but it also smells kind

740
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: of floral to me. Maybe is there something to that

741
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: or is my buds just off?

742
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 17: Yeah, you're probably getting the green tea there, and that blend.

743
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 17: We used all the organic ingredients, so we got the

744
00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 17: organic green tea, organic speariment, and then something else called yapan,

745
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 17: which what I've talked about on the show. Before is

746
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 17: an American grown It's it's like a it is tea,

747
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 17: but it's not the tea plant, right, so it's more

748
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 17: like an herb, and so you're probably get in a

749
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 17: little bit of that too.

750
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 1: All right, well, here we go. Bottoms up, let me

751
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: taste this here. Hey, mind you, I'm doing this without

752
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: any sugar. I'm typically a sugar guy, but I wanted

753
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: to get it all and and and be kind of

754
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 1: authentic here. So so as I'm tasting it, I get

755
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: the mint.

756
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 2: It seems to me kind of subtle. There's the mint there.

757
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:31,720
Speaker 1: You definitely get it, but it seems kind of subtle,

758
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: but even from the smell, and maybe it's because I

759
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: smelled it first. Again, I'm no professional here, but I

760
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: felt like there's kind of an earthy taste there, kind

761
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: of kind.

762
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 2: Of this this floral blend there. It's not.

763
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: From my experience, at least, a traditional mint tea. It's

764
00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: you get the mint and something else there.

765
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 17: Yeah, we wanted to give something that's unique, right, because

766
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 17: you can get Morocca mint teas anywhere, so we wanted

767
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 17: to put our own spin on it. The earthiness is

768
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 17: the yupon and we also lemon grass in there, so

769
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 17: it's probably a little you're getting that or I'm sorry,

770
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,439
Speaker 17: lemon myrtle, so you're getting that floral smell from that too.

771
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 17: So yeah, I hope it's I hope it's unique. We

772
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 17: wanted to be like enough mint without being too overpowering,

773
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 17: you know, we still want toy and not just straight

774
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,280
Speaker 17: you know, spearmint.

775
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 2: I like it. I like it a lot.

776
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, because it's not just mint, I feel like

777
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: I get a little bit more. All right, really quickly

778
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: before I let you go, what are some of the

779
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: other winter blends that you guys have out right?

780
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 8: Now?

781
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 2: Good job with this, really nice thanks.

782
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 17: I appreciate that. Our best sellers this winter have been

783
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,560
Speaker 17: the Morning Moab, which is our black tea. It's a

784
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 17: plain black tea, but it's got three different kinds of

785
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 17: black tea in it, and something unique we do in

786
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 17: that one is you actually put more tea in the

787
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 17: tea bag than we do with any of our other blends,

788
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 17: designed to kind of just wake you up in the morning, right,

789
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 17: And our other one is how it's are heavy. The

790
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 17: Vanilla Chai, which I know, I know you've been a

791
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,360
Speaker 17: fan of in the past. There, Terrence, that one. That

792
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 17: one's been one of the better sellers all organic. Still

793
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 17: again on that one. And what's unique about that is

794
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,919
Speaker 17: you'll notice that when you buy that blo the tea

795
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 17: doesn't look like a leaf. It looks like little like pellets.

796
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 17: And it's just a different kind of role. It's called

797
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 17: a CTC role for anyone wants to look that up.

798
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 17: Just a way that the tea is processed, and it

799
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 17: gives it a different color, like more of an amber

800
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 17: rich dark brown color versus like a black color. And

801
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 17: it gives it a little bit of a different flavor profile.

802
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 17: So fits the brand that we want to offer something

803
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,719
Speaker 17: that's unique that you can't get anywhere else. And so

804
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:25,919
Speaker 17: check those ones out as well.

805
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: All right, Mike, we appreciate it. Good job with this

806
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: magamint is very good. Like I could drink this even

807
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: without having sugar in for me, you know, from a

808
00:40:34,520 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: chubby guy, trust me, that's a big deal.

809
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,479
Speaker 2: So Mike, we appreciate it. I'm going to take another

Speaker 2: That's good, all right, Mike, we'll talk soon. Appreciate it.

813
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for sending over the magamint. This might

814
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 1: rival the Vanilla Chai like this.

815
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 2: This is good. Thanks Mike, Thanks all right.

848
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,280
Speaker 5: you about this story on Tuesday. Really a sign of God.

849
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 5: Amongst the rubble of the California wildfires, there was a

850
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 5: statue of the Virgin Mary that remained untouched by the

851
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 5: flames in La even though the house around it was

852
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 5: completely destroyed. The homeowner, Peter Halpman happenin Excuse Me, talked

853
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 5: about how it was truly remarkable, how everything had gotten fried,

854
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 5: but yet the Virgin Mary statue did not. The family

855
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 5: drawing closer to God for all of this, coming together

856
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 5: to pray and sing praise around their burned down home.

857
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:46,320
Speaker 23: Let's listen in a little bit, what an unbelievable scene.

858
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 5: Praise God for that. Let's now welcome in the couple

859
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 5: from Altadena. Mister and missus happen. Boy, thanks for being

860
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 5: here under such tough circumstances.

861
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 3: I'll let you just take get away.

862
00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 5: Tell us about this journey, what it's been like, how

863
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 5: are you doing, how's your family doing, and how you

864
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 5: see God in the midst of all of this, because boy,

865
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 5: you're right in You're right in the thick of it

866
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 5: right now.

867
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 3: Good morning you start.

868
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 24: Sure, Sorry, we may have some tears.

869
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 3: That's okay, please.

870
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 24: We just our whole lives have been dedicated to God.

871
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 24: We've dedicated our family, our six children. And when I

872
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 24: saw the first picture I saw of it was my

873
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 24: son in law. We actually don't know who that gentleman

874
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 24: is in the picture. That's not us, but my son

875
00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 24: in law took a picture and the only thing standing

876
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 24: was the statue. And so the next day I texted

877
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,440
Speaker 24: everyone and I said, let's try and get up there.

878
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 24: And we really did not go to sing. We went

879
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 24: to pray and we set a prayer that we say

880
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 24: all the time, it's a consecration to the Sacred Heart.

881
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 24: And we prayed and then we also sing together a lot.

882
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 24: So we decided to sing then and we if some

883
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 24: people were getting interesting comments like.

884
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 22: Why would you do that?

885
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 24: We wanted to thank God for the years we had,

886
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 24: the beautiful years we've had in our home. We wanted

887
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 24: to thank God for his protection. They're finding more and

888
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 24: more bodies. We're safe, and we're so thankful for that,

889
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 24: and we just you know, when bad things happen, your emotions,

890
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,359
Speaker 24: you don't feel like praising, but you do it.

891
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 22: You know it's the right thing to do, and you

892
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 22: do it.

893
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 24: So that's that's why we did it. I know it's

894
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 24: kind of puzzling to some people, but it's just like

895
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 24: we're still here. God is still our God, and he's

896
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 24: going to help us walk walk this long road.

897
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 5: God is on the throne for sure. Peter, how long

898
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,360
Speaker 5: were you in that home? What are you doing now?

899
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 5: What's the what's the immediate.

900
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 3: Future at this point?

901
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 25: Well, the immensity of the rebuild for the whole community

902
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 25: is going to be very, very difficult.

903
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 9: You know.

904
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 25: It seems as though about seventy five percent of the

905
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 25: entire community of Altadena, you know, has been destroyed, and.

906
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 22: So it's going to be difficult.

907
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 25: We're a little for a lot of the people in

908
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 25: the community that are a little frustrated because you know,

909
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,239
Speaker 25: they need people need to get to their properties in

910
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 25: order for their insurance to start kicking in. From what

911
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 25: I've been told, the protocol with the insurance companies is

912
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 25: your adjusters need to get on site in order to

913
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 25: really get the paperwork going.

914
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 15: And we were lucky.

915
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 25: Our property is to the south end of the fires,

916
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 25: which is New York Drive, and.

917
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 22: That's one of the reasons why we.

918
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 25: Were able to get on our property because we weren't

919
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 25: way up against the mountains, and so we're just kind

920
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 25: of we would like to see maybe some of the

921
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 25: authorities just at least give us a little bit better

922
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 25: approximation of when people can start working their way up

923
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 25: to their properties, because there are so many.

924
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 15: People that have that like us.

925
00:47:07,080 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 25: We got out of there with the clothes on our back,

926
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 25: and there's a lot of frightened people. We have our

927
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 25: children are all close to us, and we have places

928
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 25: to stay, but many many people don't have any place

929
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 25: to stay, and their people are scared and they're frightened.

930
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 5: Jackie and Peter, as we wrap here, how can people help?

931
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 5: How can people pray for both of you? We have

932
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 5: a praying audience, We have a patriotic audience.

933
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,360
Speaker 3: We have about thirty seconds or so.

934
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,799
Speaker 24: Okay, So number one is prayer. Please pray for us.

935
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,840
Speaker 24: Please pray that we can walk this journey with our neighbors.

936
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 19: For the community.

937
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:48,840
Speaker 24: Yeah, we're very committed to helping our neighbors. Second, everyone

1040
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,040

00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 3: Oh yes, by the.

1094
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 5: Way, yes, all right, from that encounter to an encounter

1095
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 5: that no one really wants, which is with Joe Biden,

1096
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 5: and we're going to go to the swamp, the swamp

1097
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 5: monster in chief. Joe Biden delivered his farewell address. Biden

1098
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 5: didn't do anything to help us tarnish legacy.

1099
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:53,439
Speaker 3: We knew that was coming. Here's part of what he said.

1100
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:57,080
Speaker 7: It will take time to feel the full impact of

1101
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 7: all we've done together. But the siege planet, and they'll

1102
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:05,360
Speaker 7: grow and they'll blow them for decades a common at home.

1103
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 7: We've created nearly seventeen million new jobs, more than any

1104
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:13,640
Speaker 7: other single administration a single term, more people of health

1105
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:19,839
Speaker 7: care than ever before, and overseas, we strengthen NATO.

1106
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:22,279
Speaker 23: Unbelievable.

1107
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,279
Speaker 5: Let's fact check him. Let's do that, shall we? On

1108
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 5: the farewell speech. Guys, First of all, his administration did

1109
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 5: not create he said seventeen million. It's sixteen points something. Anyhow,

1110
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 5: he didn't create sixteen million jobs like he keeps saying.

1111
00:55:34,040 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 5: Now it says says seventeen million. Well, what's a million

1112
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:37,920
Speaker 5: to a guy that lies all the time.

1113
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 2: It's more like five.

1114
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 5: Million after factoring in jobs that came back after COVID. Also,

1115
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 5: peak inflation nine percent during his time in office. He

1116
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 5: didn't mention that.

1117
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,360
Speaker 3: Obviously, prices overall up twenty percent.

1118
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:52,320
Speaker 5: And on immigration, or i should say the lack thereof

1119
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 5: the number of illegal immigrants led into our country by

1120
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:59,400
Speaker 5: this regime, nearly eleven million. Actually it's probably much higher,

1121
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 5: but go with eleven million as a baseline. And then,

1122
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 5: of course we have the wars in Ukraine and the

1123
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 5: Middle East, and all the funding that goes with that,

1124
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 5: because Joe Biden is in essence leading like Neville Chamberlain.

1125
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 3: And that's the reality here, guys.

1126
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 5: So for more, let's bring in former Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington.

1127
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: Liz, So, what did you do last night?

1128
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 5: Did you cancel dinner plans a date night to watch this, Liz?

1129
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 2: I mean clearly you did.

1130
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 3: And how's it going, Liz?

1131
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:28,240
Speaker 19: Good morning?

1132
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:29,240
Speaker 13: Hey, good morning.

1133
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 27: Yeah, I dropped everything and tuned in.

1134
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,279
Speaker 3: Actually I tuned.

1135
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 27: In this morning before this interview because I did not

1136
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:41,720
Speaker 27: watch it. It's such a disgrace, David, doctor Gina Terrence.

1137
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 27: I mean, this is unbelievable, delusional. The quote you played

1138
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 27: is actually laughable that anyone would want something to grow

1139
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 27: from this absolute monstrosity administration for the past four years.

1140
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 27: Nobody wants any more of this. I mean, we've seen

1141
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 27: the fruits of it, as you mentioned, the destruction of

1142
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:08,840
Speaker 27: our country, our border, our sovereignty, the wars all around

1143
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:12,760
Speaker 27: the world. I mean, it is absolutely insane, the amount

1144
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 27: of lies that he just told once again. But I

1145
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 27: think the most striking thing was he had the audacity

1146
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:24,640
Speaker 27: to invoke Eisenhower and warn the coming of another defense

1147
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 27: industrial complex. A guy who's sitting atop of basically a

1148
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 27: corrupt regime that's run by the defense industrial complex rocly.

1149
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 27: But then he warns of a tech oligarchy. A man

1150
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:43,520
Speaker 27: who was literally installed by a stolen election by a

1151
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 27: big part of tech oligarchs.

1152
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 28: Lying and saying that his son's laptop full of proof

1153
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,919
Speaker 28: of his corruption and crimes was Russian disinformation.

1154
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 27: So this man who's sitting on top of all of that,

1155
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 27: warns of an avalanche of misinformation that will lead to

1156
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 27: abuse of power by wealthy elites.

1157
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:05,320
Speaker 4: Oh, the same.

1158
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 27: Guy who's presided over the arrests of thousands of his

1159
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 27: political opponents for bogus misdemeanors. That's what he's warring of,

1160
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 27: a threat to democracy. I mean, this man, it's stunning

1161
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 27: that he can lie.

1162
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 2: Like this, Liz.

1163
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: One of the things I've found stunning of the Confirmation

1164
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: hearings that are going on and they're currently underway. Just

1165
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,200
Speaker 1: the back and forth and the animus is stunning. But

1166
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 1: I guess it probably shouldn't be given the past four years.

1167
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: But that's just my perspective anyway. Once President trump rival

1168
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 1: turned ally Marco Rubio, of course, was on Capitol Hill yesterday,

1169
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 1: he's turned into the Maga Marco, take a listen to this.

1170
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 14: Out of the triumphalism of the end of the Cold

1171
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 14: long Cold War emerged a bipartisan consensus. And this consensus

1172
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 14: what that we had reached the end of history, that

1173
00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 14: all of the nations of the world would now become

1174
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 14: members of the democratic, Western led community. Policy that served

1175
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 14: the national interest could now be replaced by one that

1176
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 14: served the.

1177
00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:05,440
Speaker 15: Liberal world order.

1178
00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 14: And that all mankind was now destined to abandon national

1179
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 14: sovereignty and national identity and would instead become one human

1180
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 14: family and citizens of the world. This wasn't just a fantasy,

1181
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 14: we now know. It was a dangerous delusion here in

1182
00:59:22,880 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 14: America and in many of the advanced economies across the world.

1183
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 14: An almost religious commitment to free and unfettered trade at

1184
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 14: the expense of our national economy trunk the middle class,

1185
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 14: left the working class in crisis, collapsed our industrial capacity,

1186
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 14: and has pushed critical supply chains into the hands of

1187
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 14: adversaries and of rivals.

1188
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,000
Speaker 1: Liz, I did want to get your perspective on all

1189
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 1: of that, but I'm sorry. We've got some breaking news.

1190
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: There's a Senate hearing going on right now about President

1191
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 1: Trump's Remain in Mexico policy.

1192
00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:53,280
Speaker 2: It's happening right now.

1193
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 1: Senator Ran Paul was speaking just moments ago. Let's bring

1194
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: up that video guy, so we can see it and

1195
00:59:58,600 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: take our viewers.

1196
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 20: There so much in the latter part of twenty nineteen

1197
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 20: to drive down illegal alien efforts to even enter the

1198
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 20: United States. And I want emphasize how important it is

1199
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 20: that the world knows a president is serious about keeping

1200
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,360
Speaker 20: illegal aliens out. When someone somewhere in the world is

1201
01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 20: contemplating spending large portions of their life savings to try

1202
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 20: and illegally enter the United States, they want to know

1203
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 20: that they have a good chance for success before giving

1204
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 20: away their money and taking that risky trip. The real

1205
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 20: success of programs like the Remain in Mexico program is

1206
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 20: not just that they screen out fake asylum seekers, but

1207
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 20: that they help deter illegal aliens from coming in the

1208
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 20: first place. The goal of true border security is to

1209
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 20: be so effective at keeping attempted illegal entrants out that

1210
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 20: they never try to come in the first place.

1211
01:00:54,520 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 19: In that vein.

1212
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 20: The fastest improvement that the new administration could make is

1213
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 20: at the border itself. The swearing inn of Donald Trump

1214
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 20: to the presidency will instantly convert the twenty thousand men

1215
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 20: and women of the Border Patrol from the world's largest

1216
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 20: group of greeters back into law enforcement officers whose goal

1217
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 20: is to actually defend the border instead of facilitating the

1218
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 20: ongoing invasion that the Biden administration has offered up. If

1219
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 20: they are supplemented immediately by military personnel and assets moved

1220
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 20: to the border who actually block illegal entrance instead of

1221
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 20: uselessly backing up the border patrol, then America's southern border

1222
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 20: could be effectively sealed to illegal alien traffic and most

1223
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 20: of the accompanying drug traffic between the legal ports of

1224
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 20: entry in a matter of weeks. It would be a

1225
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 20: historic accomplishment, and it is absolutely attainable.

1226
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 19: Literally.

1227
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 20: The only thing required as a president with the political

1228
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 20: will to do it, and I expect that such a

1229
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,919
Speaker 20: president will be sworn in next week. Let me say

1230
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 20: that in a different way, the assets and authorities needed

1231
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 20: to completely secure our southern border between the legal ports

1232
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 20: of entry already exist, with no additional legislation or funding needed.

1233
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 20: That doesn't mean those things wouldn't help, but it is

1234
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 20: at least possible. But securing the southern border is only

1235
01:02:17,440 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 20: step one. Every pull factor should be eliminated at both

1236
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 20: the federal and state level. And I might add that,

1237
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,800
Speaker 20: given the fact that this government is so hopelessly bankrupt,

1238
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 20: a good place to start is to end every dollar

1239
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 20: of spending for immigrants of any kind, first the illegals,

1240
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 20: but also even legal immigrants. This Congress might as well

1241
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 20: begin to adjust to the day when severe cuts are

1242
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 20: necessary across the board. Best to start by cutting spending

1243
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 20: on non Americans as soon as possible, given that such

1244
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 20: cuts are already overdue. Perhaps the single biggest pull factor

1245
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 20: is work permits. The administration can ensure that only properly

1246
01:02:56,560 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 20: vetted and qualified recipients ever receive work permits by REGUS,

1247
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 20: which is the primary source of implementable authority in this area.

1248
01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 19: Work permits need.

1249
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 20: To be as severely restricted as the law allows, specifically

1250
01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 20: to only those aliens who have already established their legal

1251
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:18,560
Speaker 20: authority to be present in the United States, coupled with

1252
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 20: turning a majority of all HSI agents to workplace enforcement,

1253
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 20: with charges brought against American businesses using illegal aliens in.

1254
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 19: Lieu of American workers.

1255
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:35,160
Speaker 20: In addition, of course, to identifying and deporting those here illegally,

1256
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 20: reinstating third country asylum is critical to keeping the inflow

1257
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 20: of new cases down while the Trump administration works with

1258
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 20: Congress to build the capacity needed to finally catch up

1259
01:03:47,160 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 20: on the caseload of illegal aliens already present in the

1260
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 20: United States, a situation that is both dangerous and expensive.

1261
01:03:55,160 --> 01:04:00,720
Speaker 20: This involves expanded deportation capacity, for example, more immigration judges, prosecutors,

1262
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 20: and logistical support. As President Trump has laid out the

1263
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 20: largest domestic logistical undertaking of our lifetimes, that being the

1264
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:13,440
Speaker 20: deportation of the vast majority of illegal aliens present in

1265
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 20: the United States. If the incoming administration makes significant progress

1266
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 20: on its deportation goals, likely only with the cooperation and

1267
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 20: assistance of Congress, then America will reap the benefits in

1268
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 20: greater security, lower crime, more job opportunities for poor Americans,

1269
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 20: higher wages for poor Americans as we saw in twenty nineteen,

1270
01:04:34,800 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 20: and more predictable and manageable budgets for state and local

1271
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 20: governments that are so severely affected by the invasion of

1272
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 20: illegal aliens that America has suffered for so many years.

1273
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:46,520
Speaker 19: Thank you, mister Chairman, Thank you.

1274
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 29: We also will welcome Andrew Arthur to our committee today.

1275
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 29: Mister Arthur, is the Resident Fellow in Law and Policy

1276
01:04:55,560 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 29: at the Center for Immigration Studies. Prior to joining the

1277
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 29: Center in April twenty seventeen, he served as the staff

1278
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:04,919
Speaker 29: director for the National Security Subcommittee at the US House

1279
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 29: of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government and Reform.

1280
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:09,000
Speaker 19: That's a mouthful.

1281
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 29: Mister Arthur previously served as an immigration judge at the

1282
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 29: York Immigration Court in York, Pennsylvania, where he heard thousands

1283
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 29: of deportation removal in bond cases and considered applications for

1284
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 29: asylum and other forms of immigration related relief. He's testified

1285
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 29: before Congress on thirteen occasions and has been quoted in

1286
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 29: numerous publications. Mister Arthur, welcome to the Committee. You are

1287
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 29: now recognized for your opening statement.

1288
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 30: Chairman Paul, ranking Member Peters, and members of the Committee,

1289
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 30: thank you for inviting me here today to discuss the

1290
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 30: Microprotection Protocols better known as Remain in Mexico also known

1291
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 30: as MPP. MPP was implemented in response to an unprecedented

1292
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 30: search in third country nationals and adults with children and

1293
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 30: family units entering legally across the southwest border of the

1294
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 30: More than one hundred fifty three thousand migrants caught crossing

1295
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 30: the border in the first three months of FY twenty nineteen,

1296
01:06:05,800 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 30: nearly half just over forty nine percent were in family units.

1297
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 30: That's an issue for a number of reasons, the most

1298
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 30: prominent being that, as a bipartisan panel revealed in April

1299
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 30: twenty and nineteen, the children and those family units are

1300
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 30: traumatized and exposed to unconstable risks during the illegal journey.

1301
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:24,560
Speaker 15: Here.

1302
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 30: That panel also highlighted quote reports that female parents of

1303
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 30: minor children have been raped, that many migrants are robbed,

1304
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 30: and that they and their children are held hostage and

1305
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 30: extorted for money. Things became so bad in March two

1306
01:06:39,920 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 30: to twenty nineteen that then DHS Secretary Kirsten Nielsen declared

1307
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 30: a border emergency. She explained the system was in free

1308
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 30: fall as her department scrambled to care for families in

1309
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 30: which migrant children were quote arriving sicker than ever before

1310
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 30: close quote after being quote exploited along the treacherous trek

1311
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 30: of the United States close quote. It was against this

1312
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 30: backdrop that the Trump administration first implemented remained in Mexico,

1313
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:10,960
Speaker 30: using authority in section two thirty five B two C

1314
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 30: of the I in a immigration Nationality Act, DHS returned

1315
01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 30: migrants back across the border to await expedited asylum hearings.

1316
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 15: They designated court courts.

1317
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 30: Those whose claims were granted were admitted, while migrants whose

1318
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 30: claims were denied were quickly removed. After a phased in

1319
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 30: implementation and legal challenges, MPP was up and running by

1320
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 30: October twenty nineteen, when DHS issued its assessment of the program.

1321
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 30: DHS concluded that MPP was quote an indispensable tool in

1322
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 30: addressing the ongoing crisis of the southern border and restoring

1323
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 30: integrity to the immigration system close quote. Border encounters dropped

1324
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 30: by sixty four percent between May and September of twenty nineteen,

1325
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,240
Speaker 30: and encounters with quote Central American families, who were the

1326
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:02,760
Speaker 30: main driver of the crisis, decreased by approximately eighty percent

1327
01:08:02,840 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 30: close quote.

1328
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 15: According to that assessment, Remain.

1329
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 30: In Mexico was implemented with the consent and assistance of

1330
01:08:09,920 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 30: the Government of Mexico. Returnees received access to humanitarian care

1331
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 30: and assistance, food and housing, work permits, and education in Mexico.

1332
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 30: Our State Department funded a five point five million dollar

1333
01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 30: project in September twenty nineteen to provide housing in Mexican

1334
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 30: border cities to approximately eight thousand vulnerable third country asylum

1335
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 30: seekers and others, as well as eleven point nine million

1336
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 30: dollars in cash based assistants to migrants to move out

1337
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 30: of shelters while they were in MPP. The Biden administration

1338
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 30: suspended and then twice ended MPP, and the impacts of

1339
01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 30: those decisions are being felt throughout US cities and towns

1340
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 30: to this day. Congress has given DHS three deterrens it

1341
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 30: can use to curb illegal migration to this country. One

1342
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 30: bars and other infrastructure. Two criminal prosecution for improper entry

1343
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 30: under section two seventy five of the INNA, and three detention,

1344
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 30: which is mandated by statute under section two thirty five

1345
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 30: b of the INNA for illegal entrance and other inadmissible

1346
01:09:15,240 --> 01:09:19,800
Speaker 30: aliens under a twenty fifteen District Court decision. However, DHS

1347
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,879
Speaker 30: can't detain children and family units for more than twenty days,

1348
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 30: and separating families has proven unacceptable. Consequently, adult migrants and

1349
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 30: smugglers use those children as pawns in an effort to

1350
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:35,599
Speaker 30: enter and remain here indefinitely. In addition, a recent settlement

1351
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 30: agreement entered into by the Biden administration bars DHS from

1352
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 30: prosecuting adults and family units for improper entry, with only

1353
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 30: limited exceptions.

1354
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:46,080
Speaker 15: Children are a stay out.

1355
01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 30: Of jail free card, and while barriers imp to legal entry,

1356
01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 30: they can't prevent it remain in Mexico Undersection two thirty

1357
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,439
Speaker 30: five B two C of THENA is a potential fourth

1358
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:00,480
Speaker 30: deterrent because it discourages illegal entrance from gaming our humanitanitarian

1359
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 30: protections by making bogus or weak asylum claims solely to

1360
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 30: be released to live and work in the United States

1361
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:10,799
Speaker 30: for years while their claims are being considered asylum claims

1362
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 30: rexpedited under MPP and decisions issued more quickly. Those meriting

1363
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 30: asylums could thus begin their new lives sooner than if

1364
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:22,519
Speaker 30: they'd been released. Critics have argued MPP retorneys were subject

1365
01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 30: to threats and predation while awaiting their hearings and terminating MPP.

1366
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 30: In October twenty twenty one, DHS Secretary Alajandra New York

1367
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:33,799
Speaker 30: has admitted it was quote possible that such humanitarian challenges

1368
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 30: could be lessened through the expenditure of significant government resources

1369
01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 30: close quote respectfully the migrant crisis over the past four years.

1370
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,880
Speaker 30: It's already cost taxpayers tends to hundreds of billions of dollars,

1371
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 30: including at the state and local level, where officials have

1372
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:52,720
Speaker 30: no say over immigration decisions made in Washington. If this

1373
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:55,479
Speaker 30: is simply a question of money, my question to you

1374
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,400
Speaker 30: is what price do you put on border security? Thank

1375
01:10:58,439 --> 01:10:59,960
Speaker 30: you again, I look forward to your questions.

1376
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 11: Thank you.

1377
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:05,560
Speaker 29: We're also pleased to welcome Adam Isaacson to our committee.

1378
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,320
Speaker 29: Mister Isaacson has worked on defense, security, and peace building

1379
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,879
Speaker 29: in Latin America since nineteen ninety four. He now directs

1380
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 29: the Washington Office on Latin America Program on Defense there

1381
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 29: and which monitors security trends in America is including US

1382
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 29: cooperation with security forces. Since twenty eleven, mister Isaacson has

1383
01:11:26,280 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 29: also focused on border security. He's visited the US Mexico

1384
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 29: border over thirty times and has also completed field research

1385
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 29: along nearly the entire border between Mexico and Guatemala and

1386
01:11:37,040 --> 01:11:40,879
Speaker 29: countries further south, also along the US bound migration route.

1387
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:44,800
Speaker 29: Before coming to Wola in twenty ten, mister Isaacson worked

1388
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 29: on Latin America demilitarization at the Center for International Policy.

1389
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 29: Mister Isaacson, welcome to the committee. You are now recognized

1390
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 29: for your opening statement.

1391
01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 21: Thank you Chairman Paul, Thank you for granking Member Peters.

1392
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 21: It's good to be both of you. Thank you members

1393
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 21: of the Committee. It's great to be here with you today.

1394
01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:01,360
Speaker 19: Now.

1395
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 21: I did do a lot of fieldwork in data work

1396
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 21: along the US Mexico border when remained in Mexico.

1397
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 15: MPP was first implemented.

1398
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 21: The evidence I saw was clear remained in Mexico enriched

1399
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 21: the cartels, it failed to meaningfully deter migration, and its

1400
01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 21: soured relations with a key ally. Pursuing it again would

1401
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 21: harm US interests. Instead, I urge the committee to focus

1402
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 21: on fixing our asylum system, which I agree is broken.

1403
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,559
Speaker 21: That system does save tens of thousands of lives every year,

1404
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 21: but we needed to be both fair and efficient. No

1405
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:36,440
Speaker 21: one supports the idea of five year weights for asylum decisions.

1406
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 21: The backlogs do create a pull factor of their own,

1407
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,879
Speaker 21: but this is an administrative challenge, and the US government

1408
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 21: is good at administrative challenges. It's a question of processing,

1409
01:12:45,880 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 21: case management, adjudication, all of which you're lacking. People truly

1410
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:52,920
Speaker 21: did suffer while remaining in Mexico. I personally heard harrowing

1411
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 21: accounts of torture and abuse. Nearly all that abuse was

1412
01:12:56,200 --> 01:13:00,519
Speaker 21: the work of organized crime groups, the cartels. The cartels cruelty,

1413
01:13:00,560 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 21: their sadism. It wasn't just a human rights issue though

1414
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 21: the criminals aren't barbaric just for its own sake. This

1415
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 21: is their economic model and that makes it a national

1416
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 21: security issue. Organized crime is trying to extract as much

1417
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 21: money out of migrants and their loved ones as it

1418
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 21: can while those migrants are present on the turf that

1419
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:18,120
Speaker 21: they control.

1420
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,559
Speaker 15: Cartels fight each other for this business.

1421
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 21: Remain in Mexico kept migrants on cartel's turf for very

1422
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 21: long periods of time, months or even years in Mexican

1423
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 21: border cities, waiting for their hearings. MPP created a new

1424
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,560
Speaker 21: market opportunity for cartels.

1425
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: You're watching the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee of

1426
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 1: the US Senate. They're discussing the Remain in Mexico policy.

1427
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: This is one of the first hearings of the day.

1428
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: Of course, there are also going to be confirmation hearings

1429
01:13:48,080 --> 01:13:50,479
Speaker 1: happening in the Senate later on today, but this is

1430
01:13:50,520 --> 01:13:51,759
Speaker 1: the first order of business.

1431
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Again.

1432
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 1: This is the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee discussing

1433
01:13:56,439 --> 01:14:00,439
Speaker 1: President Trump's remain in Mexico policy. We'll get Yeah, We'll

1434
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 1: continue to update you on this throughout the day. In

1435
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: the meantime, let's talk more about California, where the deadly

1436
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 1: wildfires continue to rage on. Instead of trying to stop

1437
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,840
Speaker 1: the deadly fires from happening again, California Governor Gavin Newsom

1438
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: trying to Trump proof his state. Newsom reportedly trying to

1439
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:20,760
Speaker 1: get fifty million dollars set aside by the California state

1440
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: Legislature for future lawsuits against the incoming administration. Newsom also

1441
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,720
Speaker 1: extended the session to try and draft legislation to get

1442
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,799
Speaker 1: relief money for people who are impacted by the fires so.

1443
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:32,599
Speaker 2: That they can rebuild.

1444
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 1: Plus, Newsom said the money allocated should be reimbursed by FEMA.

1445
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: What happens now is the big question for more. Let's

1446
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 1: bring in San Diego County Supervisor Jim Desmond. Jim, welcome

1447
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,439
Speaker 1: to the show. Thanks so much for waking up early

1448
01:14:46,479 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 1: with us.

1449
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 31: Oh great, thanks for having me.

1450
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:52,439
Speaker 1: All right, So give us your perspective of what's happening

1451
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,519
Speaker 1: there in California, more specifically, the failures of lawmakers there

1452
01:14:56,560 --> 01:15:00,240
Speaker 1: to allow the situation in LA to get to where

1453
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: it is now.

1454
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 31: Well unfortunately, you know, and I feel bad for every

1455
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 31: family and everyone lost a home or had a loved one,

1456
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,760
Speaker 31: and this fire was this horrific with the winds and

1457
01:15:10,800 --> 01:15:14,560
Speaker 31: everything else. But what it really shows is the incompetency

1458
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:17,280
Speaker 31: of the state and the state laws that don't allow

1459
01:15:17,400 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 31: us us to have clearing or of any of the fuel,

1460
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 31: especially right up next to housing. And we've been housing.

1461
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 31: You can't have it right next to the forested or

1462
01:15:28,040 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 31: the heavy fuel areas. And so in Newsom has you know,

1463
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:35,560
Speaker 31: has done this. Even on immigration, he is allowed to

1464
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,639
Speaker 31: put out the red carpet for migrants to come across

1465
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:42,040
Speaker 31: the border. Here in California with free healthcare, we have

1466
01:15:42,280 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 31: boats that land on our beaches down here in San

1467
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 31: Diego County, every handful of them every week, where people

1468
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 31: just get off and walk into our country unimpeded. And

1469
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:57,880
Speaker 31: trying to trump proof California. Basically, he's allowing illegals and

1470
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 31: illegal criminals who are in our jail isolation from ice

1471
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 31: and other agencies coming in and trying to remove them.

1472
01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 31: It's trying to trump proof the state. I think is

1473
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:08,759
Speaker 31: the wrong direction.

1474
01:16:10,040 --> 01:16:11,519
Speaker 1: So I want to talk a bit more about this

1475
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,280
Speaker 1: special session that I mentioned in your lead in the

1476
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:16,200
Speaker 1: idea of this session is to get more money for

1477
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:19,120
Speaker 1: fire victims. But there's all this money, like tens of

1478
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 1: millions of dollars simply similar to what you just mentioned there,

1479
01:16:22,640 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: that are devoted to fighting President Trump.

1480
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 2: When you're talking about.

1481
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,760
Speaker 1: That kind of money, ultimately everyone in the state ends

1482
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 1: up paying, not just a specific group.

1483
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 31: Oh absolutely, And it's going to be billions of dollars

1484
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 31: fifty millions that drop on the bucket for the damage

1485
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 31: that has been caused. And and also on that note

1486
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 31: is the insurance insurance providers are state of California has

1487
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 31: made it so that insurance companies can't do business in

1488
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 31: California because of the state regulations and restrictions, they can't

1489
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 31: do business, so they've been leaving. And unfortunately, many of

1490
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 31: these homeowners had lost their fires don't even have the

1491
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 31: insurance required all right, So it's it's really kind of

1492
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,559
Speaker 31: a you know, it's a mess here that's been created

1493
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 31: by the state government. Unfortunately it came to light with

1494
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 31: all this horrific destruction.

1495
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:15,160
Speaker 1: Hey, Jim, so you're in San Diego County, correct, Yes,

1496
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1497
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1498
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,280
Speaker 1: California well, but I do know enough that San Diego

1499
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 1: in some cases can be San Diego County even can

1500
01:17:22,240 --> 01:17:24,600
Speaker 1: be somewhat of a bedroom community if you will, to

1501
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:27,200
Speaker 1: La County. There are people that will commute between the two.

1502
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: So what is the impact going to be on your county,

1503
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: if you will, from.

1504
01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 2: Those wildfires in La.

1505
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: It's close enough, I would imagine you guys are bracing

1506
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: for some sort of impact.

1507
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 31: Oh absolutely, we're our next meeting, we are, we are

1508
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 31: gonna We're talking to our fire people and say what

1509
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,200
Speaker 31: do you need? What do we used to have to do?

1510
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,679
Speaker 31: I've been contacted by people who have who have sheep

1511
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 31: and are willing to you know, go eat eat the

1512
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:53,479
Speaker 31: fuel up in the mountains. And so we're gonna be

1513
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 31: taking a hard look as here in San Diego County

1514
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 31: and making sure that hopefully, you know, we can what

1515
01:17:57,560 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 31: can we do to prevent this and make it from

1516
01:17:59,400 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 31: keep it from having We've already been doing some things.

1517
01:18:02,040 --> 01:18:05,439
Speaker 31: We bought more equipment, more helicopters, you know, we put

1518
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:09,600
Speaker 31: a hydrants basically like outdoor pools and the mountaintops that

1519
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,599
Speaker 31: can be filled up with waters where helicopters can come

1520
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 31: and go to get to get water quickly and they

1521
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 31: know where to go to get it. So we're even

1522
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,639
Speaker 31: putting in precautions, but we need more and we're willing

1523
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 31: to do that. And we just got to make sure

1524
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,120
Speaker 31: that this type of thing doesn't happen anywhere in California.

1525
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,040
Speaker 2: Again, Jim, we appreciate your time.

1526
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 1: Still a lot of work to be done across California.

1527
01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: We wish you all the best, and again, thanks so

1528

01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:35,160

Speaker 2: Just stick around. We're back in two minutes.

1570
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 6: Hi, welcome back to American sun Rise. I'm doctor Gee.

1571
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,560
Speaker 6: Thanks for joining us this morning. We invite you to

1572
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 6: join our conversation on getter and rumble. It's time now

1573
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 6: to take the political pulse of America. The beat today

1574
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 6: is Joe Biden's final speech to the American people. He

1575
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 6: struggled at times with the prompter, as we all do

1576
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 6: a little bit, but he had.

1577
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,639
Speaker 4: Moments like this one that take the cake.

1578
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 6: You take a listen.

1579
01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 7: So also clear that the American leadership and technology as an

1580
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:32,000
Speaker 7: unparalleled and unparalleled source of innovation that can transform lives.

1581
01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 7: We see the same dangers the concentration of technology, power

1582
01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:42,839
Speaker 7: and wealth. You know his farewell addressed President Eishower spoke

1583
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:46,599
Speaker 7: of the dangers of the military industrial complex. He warned

1584
01:21:46,680 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 7: us then about my quote, the potential for the disastrous

1585
01:21:51,080 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 7: rise of misplaced power.

1586
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 2: End of quote.

1587
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 7: Six days, six decades later, I'm equally concerned about the

1588
01:21:59,640 --> 01:22:04,320
Speaker 7: pedant potential rise of a tech industrial complex I could

1589
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 7: pose real dangers for our country as well. Americans are

1590
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 7: being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation enabling

1591
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:18,440
Speaker 7: the abusive power The free press is cromwly.

1592
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:20,560
Speaker 13: O.

1593
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 4: Hum now, you guys.

1594
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 6: Right before the speech, a new poll was released and

1595
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 6: revealing that Biden will not be remembered fondly by the

1596
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:32,560
Speaker 6: American people. I know, I know, it's big news. We

1597
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 6: should have done a big breaking flash right. According to

1598
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:38,559
Speaker 6: a new Mayorst poll, more than half the people out

1599
01:22:38,560 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 6: there said Biden will be remembered as a below average

1600
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 6: president or one of the worst we've ever seen. Only

1601
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:49,439
Speaker 6: twenty eight percent said Biden was even average. So what

1602
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 6: will his legacy really be? You know, something We're going

1603
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,040
Speaker 6: to have to discuss in the days to come, but

1604
01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 6: I think it won't be positive. We want to go

1605
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:01,559
Speaker 6: back to the Senate, you guys speaking of actual breaking news,

1606
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 6: because Biden's speech wasn't. Let's go back and take a

1607
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 6: look here at the remain in Mexico hearing.

1608
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 8: Billion dollars a year.

1609
01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 2: Again, have you not?

1610
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 32: Have you not heard of the taunting trees? The panty trees,

1611
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 32: the rate trees during this time of the cartels just

1612
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 32: basically taunting CBP by putting the undergarments of the young

1613
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 32: girls that they rape.

1614
01:23:29,439 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 19: That they're also.

1615
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 32: Getting five, seven, ten thousand dollars for the trafficking. So

1616
01:23:34,320 --> 01:23:38,400
Speaker 32: there's absolutely no doubt the return or remain in Mexico

1617
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 32: problem worked. That President has the authority to do so,

1618
01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 32: to implement this and implement it again, I think it

1619
01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 32: is important to note that one of the keys was

1620
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 32: the threat of terrace against Mexico. We needed Mexico's cooperation here.

1621
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:55,640
Speaker 32: You know, we implemented the MPP I think in the

1622
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 32: summer of twenty nineteen, and we still saw numbers rise.

1623
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 32: President Trump called up to the president of Mexico and said,

1624
01:24:03,600 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 32: we need your cooperation.

1625
01:24:04,600 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 19: You're gonna get hit with.

1626
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 32: Tariffs, and you see the dramatic result. So, Miss Christchanelle,

1627
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 32: can you talk again about what authority exists? Talk about

1628
01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 32: really what a lie we've been told over the last

1629
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 32: four years that President Biden.

1630
01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 19: Didn't have the authority.

1631
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 32: He obviously didn't use the same authority to open up

1632
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 32: the border and cause this catastrophe.

1633
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 19: Yeah, he absolutely did.

1634
01:24:24,040 --> 01:24:27,880
Speaker 20: And the cartels have never been so flushed with cash

1635
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 20: because of that open border's policy. It would I would

1636
01:24:31,960 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 20: point out we look at the border from the north,

1637
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:38,760
Speaker 20: and if you think about Mexico, in the northern part

1638
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 20: of Mexico, but not just the northern part of Mexico,

1639
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 20: the federal government of Mexico doesn't control Mexico. One sixth

1640
01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,759
Speaker 20: of the country is controlled by the cartels. One sixth

1641
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 20: is contested between the cartels and the government. And you know,

1642
01:24:53,600 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 20: mister Isaacson says, you know, within thirty minutes of leaving MPP,

1643
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 20: the same thing happens over and over. That can't happen

1644
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 20: if Mexico is actually policing the border, which they're not,

1645
01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 20: and they're not able.

1646
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 8: To do so.

1647
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 20: I would also add that a lot of the violence

1648
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 20: that occurred both between Mexicans and directed at illegal migrants

1649
01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 20: in Mexico by the cartels over the years has been

1650
01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 20: fairly widely reported in Mexico. Not there are reasons it

1651
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 20: isn't the cartels go after those journalists, But we don't

1652
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 20: see any of that reporting here, none of it. And

1653
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 20: it's and it is a it's brutal, it is vicious,

1654
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:42,120
Speaker 20: and it has been fueled by the explosion in traffic

1655
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 20: in the last four years. The president has the tools

1656
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 20: to turn that traffic off. We saw, as you noted

1657
01:25:49,200 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 20: on the chart, that you can have an effect on

1658
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 20: the direction of the of the traffic and meaning the numbers,

1659
01:25:56,360 --> 01:25:58,759
Speaker 20: and I fully expect President Trump will do that. Remain

1660
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,240
Speaker 20: in Mexico is just one tool. There are other tools

1661
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:06,439
Speaker 20: as well, Famous Chairman, Senator blumenthalm.

1662
01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:09,679
Speaker 19: Thanks, miss Chairman.

1663
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,919
Speaker 33: I agree, there are other tools, and in twenty thirteen,

1664
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:20,839
Speaker 33: we passed in the United States Senate a comprehensive immigration

1665
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:25,519
Speaker 33: reform that in fact would have implemented those other tools toward.

1666
01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 19: Securing our border.

1667
01:26:26,880 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 33: I continue to support more robust efforts at border security.

1668
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 33: I think that view is shared by most, if not all,

1669
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 33: of us here in the United States Senate. And I'm

1670
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 33: still hopeful that we can do another comprehensive border security

1671
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:49,080
Speaker 33: and immigration reform that addresses all of the facets of

1672
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:54,160
Speaker 33: our broken immigration system. And I'm hoping that President Trump,

1673
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,479
Speaker 33: once he is sworn in, will pursue that objective and

1674
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 33: he'll find I think, very favorable responses on both sides

1675
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:09,639
Speaker 33: of the isle here in the United States Congress. I

1676
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 33: am as a former prosecutor, and mister Kusnelli shares part

1677
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 33: of my background as a state attorney general focused on

1678
01:27:22,160 --> 01:27:24,640
Speaker 33: how we actually deal with the nuts and bolts of

1679
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 33: these cartels. And I think all three of you have

1680
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 33: extensive experience in this area. Could the Mexican government, in

1681
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 33: cooperation with our law enforcement doing more, be doing more

1682
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 33: to counter these cartels under the authority? And I agree

1683
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 33: the President has the authority to do more. And how

1684
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 33: would those resources be focused? Specifically, how can we secure

1685
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 33: more cooperation from the government of Mexico. Let me go

1686
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 33: down the line and I'm going to stop talking so

1687
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 33: that I give each of you max amount of time.

1688
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 20: Senator, this is an area where Congress could be quite helpful.

1689
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 8: You know.

1690
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 20: One of the things that's thrown out all the time

1691
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:18,120
Speaker 20: is declaring the cartels terrorist organizations foreign terrorist organizations. If

1692
01:28:18,160 --> 01:28:21,600
Speaker 20: you look at the statutes that address foreign terist organizations,

1693
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:28,640
Speaker 20: they come with very sweeping connections to the rest of

1694
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 20: the community. That statute was designed with isolated cells of

1695
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 20: Islamists in mind. The cartels are integrated into the communities.

1696
01:28:38,920 --> 01:28:41,360
Speaker 20: They take advantage of the communities they live in, they

1697
01:28:41,400 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 20: make money off them, and we need a different Statute.

1698
01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:49,760
Speaker 20: It would be very helpful if Congress formulated a much

1699
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:53,600
Speaker 20: more surgical approach to dealing with something like the cartels

1700
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 20: that use terrorist tactics for organized crime goals, and they

1701
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 20: are quasi government because they control territory in Mexico that

1702
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:07,040
Speaker 20: the Mexican government simply won't contest. This government won't, the

1703
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:11,759
Speaker 20: last administration would not. And granted that is a significant challenge.

1704
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:15,120
Speaker 20: So that's an area where this Congress could be quite helpful,

1705
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 20: is in providing more of those tools specifically to go

1706
01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:21,760
Speaker 20: after the cartels. And I would you know, people think

1707
01:29:21,800 --> 01:29:26,600
Speaker 20: in terms of kinetic action, but there's they're about money

1708
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:30,360
Speaker 20: when you boil it down there about money, and any

1709
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:34,200
Speaker 20: legislation along those lines should include the ability of the

1710
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 20: Treasury Department to seek out and seize their assets around

1711
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:39,439
Speaker 20: the world.

1712
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 19: Thank you, mister Arthur, Senator.

1713
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:47,479
Speaker 30: I wholeheartedly agree with Attorney General Kochinelli. It's important to

1714
01:29:47,520 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 30: note the fact, you know, we talk about the impacts

1715
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:51,880
Speaker 30: that the cartels have on the United States, it's deleterius.

1716
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 15: It's horrible.

1717
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:56,400
Speaker 30: With the Fennel they have an equally deleterious corrosive effect

1718
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:58,920
Speaker 30: in Mexico. Mexico has been waging a drug war now

1719
01:29:58,960 --> 01:30:01,160
Speaker 30: since the early two thousand, since mister ansense, and you

1720
01:30:01,160 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 30: can tell you all about that. Thirty four to thirty

1721
01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 30: seven thousand people dead.

1722
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:06,759
Speaker 15: And the problem is that when.

1723
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,519
Speaker 30: Mexico cuts off the head of the cartel, it just

1724
01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 30: gets worse because the people that come up underneath are

1725
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:12,759
Speaker 30: even worse.

1726
01:30:13,320 --> 01:30:15,960
Speaker 15: We need to work very closely with them. Ken is right.

1727
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:19,160
Speaker 30: Money is the lifeblood that fuels the cartels. We need

1728
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 30: to have drug reduction in the United States. I don't

1729
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:25,360
Speaker 30: think Americans understand women get raped in Mexico because they

1730
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 30: use drugs in the United States and they knew that

1731
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 30: that would be an I think that would be a

1732
01:30:30,040 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 30: game changer. But yes, I wholeheartedly agree with Ms couch Nelly.

1733
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 30: We need to have additional authorities go after them, seize

1734
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:41,160
Speaker 30: the money, cut off the head, and help the Mexican.

1735
01:30:40,800 --> 01:30:41,880
Speaker 15: Government help themselves.

1736
01:30:42,040 --> 01:30:44,840
Speaker 21: Mister Rising, They're going to hear a lot of consensus here.

1737
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:47,439
Speaker 21: You really can't talk about it. I would add the

1738
01:30:47,439 --> 01:30:49,280
Speaker 21: element of corruption though, even though it might make the

1739
01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 21: Mexican government uncomfortable to talk about it. An organized crime

1740
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:56,800
Speaker 21: group is not an insurgency. These aren't leftist gorillas. This

1741
01:30:56,880 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 21: isn't isis if you pound them harder, you haven't weakened them,

1742
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:04,720
Speaker 21: haven't gained control over that territory. Rather, they're harder to

1743
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:08,360
Speaker 21: fight than an insurgency because they depend on their relationship

1744
01:31:08,400 --> 01:31:11,599
Speaker 21: with corrupt elements in the Mexican government. Mexican security chief

1745
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 21: for six years is now in jail in the United

1746
01:31:13,880 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 21: States for having worked with the Sinaloa cartel.

1747
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 15: We have to know who we're working with.

1748
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 21: And if you can't depend on your partner to actually

1749
01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:23,080
Speaker 21: help disarticulate those organized crime groups, you've got to take

1750
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:24,240
Speaker 21: that oxygen away from them.

1751
01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:25,439
Speaker 19: Well, I thank all.

1752
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 20: Three you have for one more thought, just very short,

1753
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 20: that it should be a strategic goal of the United

1754
01:31:30,200 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 20: States to help the Mexican government get control of one

1755
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 20: hundred percent of Mexico, just to put it in very

1756
01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 20: strategic national level terms.

1757
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:40,799
Speaker 33: I think these thoughts are really excellent.

1758
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:43,599
Speaker 19: My time is expired, but I.

1759
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:48,759
Speaker 33: Would like to pursue the suggestion that seems to unite

1760
01:31:48,760 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 33: all of you, that we need to develop the tools,

1761
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 33: the law enforcement tools to treat these cartels as terrorist organizations.

1762
01:31:58,600 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 33: Their ideology is simply dollars and cents. It isn't about

1763
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 33: converting the world to another religion or another political system.

1764
01:32:07,160 --> 01:32:11,320
Speaker 33: It is about money for them, and I think they

1765
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 33: need to be treated as terrorist organizations, even if they're

1766
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:15,519
Speaker 33: of a different brand.

1767
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:19,080
Speaker 19: So thanks missus, Chairman Center Langfordon.

1768
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 11: Sherman, thank you. Thank you to all of you for

1769
01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 11: the work that you do on this.

1770
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 34: To go back to the dollars and cents, So what

1771
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 34: Senator Blumenthal was talking about. In twenty twenty two, I

1772
01:32:27,680 --> 01:32:29,200
Speaker 34: was at the Rio Grande Valley and asked them of

1773
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:31,799
Speaker 34: the border patrol folks there, how much of the cartels

1774
01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:35,719
Speaker 34: make just trafficking people in this region, just this region,

1775
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,400
Speaker 34: which is that section of the border, how much they

1776
01:32:38,400 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 34: make just trafficking people. And the response was, we estimate

1777
01:32:41,360 --> 01:32:44,120
Speaker 34: one hundred and fifty three million dollars a week that

1778
01:32:44,160 --> 01:32:49,160
Speaker 34: they make trafficking people. The open border policy that happened

1779
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 34: in the last four years has facilitated incredible financial gain

1780
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 34: for the cartels. When they were making one hundred and

1781
01:32:56,240 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 34: fifty three million dollars a week moving people through at

1782
01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:01,200
Speaker 34: the highest numbers they possibly could.

1783
01:33:01,880 --> 01:33:02,880
Speaker 11: That facilitated this.

1784
01:33:03,000 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 34: In addition to that, other criminal organizations around the world

1785
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:09,640
Speaker 34: saw how much money the cartels were making and they

1786
01:33:09,680 --> 01:33:12,240
Speaker 34: wanted a piece of the travel agent money and we

1787
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:16,599
Speaker 34: started getting isis individuals coming in from Tashjikastan because they

1788
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 34: were being facilitated in by criminal organizations coming.

1789
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 11: In because it was easy to move.

1790
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 34: So this is incredibly important to be able to shut

1791
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:24,160
Speaker 34: the money down.

1792
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:26,400
Speaker 11: Do agree with Center of Blumenthal on.

1793
01:33:26,360 --> 01:33:28,519
Speaker 34: That, And it's incredibly important that we actually use the

1794
01:33:28,520 --> 01:33:30,679
Speaker 34: authority that's already there to be able to get this done.

1795
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:32,920
Speaker 34: Ras Kuchenelli, thanks again for all the work that you've

1796
01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:34,880
Speaker 34: don this for so long. In this you were very

1797
01:33:34,880 --> 01:33:37,880
Speaker 34: outspoken on HR two, which is a great bill, very

1798
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,320
Speaker 34: thorough on that, and you were very forward to say

1799
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 34: Congress needs to pass this bill. What are the aspects

1800
01:33:43,320 --> 01:33:45,560
Speaker 34: of that that you would say that still need to

1801
01:33:45,600 --> 01:33:45,920
Speaker 34: be done.

1802
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:53,600
Speaker 20: Well, you know, the Chairman started with the president's authority

1803
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,559
Speaker 20: to close the border, which I agree he has now,

1804
01:33:57,080 --> 01:34:02,120
Speaker 20: but HR two really starts to get at the longer

1805
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:07,400
Speaker 20: term enforcement arc processing of folks and keeping them out,

1806
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:12,400
Speaker 20: closing loopholes that even if you close the border between

1807
01:34:12,400 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 20: the legal ports of entry, people will still come to

1808
01:34:14,800 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 20: the right ports of entry and they'll be a I'll

1809
01:34:18,040 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 20: call it a bit of a negotiation a bit of

1810
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:22,240
Speaker 20: a game there about who can get in and who cannot.

1811
01:34:22,600 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 20: In the last four years, everybody's gotten in, and you

1812
01:34:26,160 --> 01:34:29,839
Speaker 20: really need to give your OFO officers in those ports

1813
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:34,439
Speaker 20: of entry the legal tools to turn people away, anyone

1814
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:39,479
Speaker 20: away who cannot demonstrate a then current basis to be

1815
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,639
Speaker 20: in the country. And HR two really advanced to that.

1816
01:34:43,720 --> 01:34:47,519
Speaker 20: As you know, Senator, this whole area of law has

1817
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:50,360
Speaker 20: been tangled up in knots with court rulings.

1818
01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:51,320
Speaker 11: We've heard it's a mess.

1819
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:53,880
Speaker 34: Yeah, we were talking before, we were talking before Arthur

1820
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 34: about the Flores.

1821
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 19: Flores is made.

1822
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,479
Speaker 34: That's an issue that has to be settling laws. We

1823
01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:00,840
Speaker 34: have to be able to go engage in Congress to

1824
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:03,840
Speaker 34: say what's this going to be because the court just literally.

1825
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:04,799
Speaker 11: Created the twenty day.

1826
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:08,200
Speaker 34: Time period and now we're stuck with it because Congress

1827
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:09,160
Speaker 34: has not been able to respond.

1828
01:35:09,240 --> 01:35:11,960
Speaker 30: As Arthur, if I could add to that, there was

1829
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 30: a bipartisan, truly bipartisan report that was issued in April

1830
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:19,200
Speaker 30: of twenty nineteen by the CPP Families and Children Care Panel.

1831
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:23,320
Speaker 30: Leon Fresco, who was Barack Obama's guy at DOJ, was

1832
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 30: on that panel and they talked about all of these

1833
01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:31,920
Speaker 30: issues and they crafted solid they suggested solutions, including processing

1834
01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 30: and detention centers down at the border, but they also

1835
01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,639
Speaker 30: called on Congress to fix Floreses. Congress has the ability

1836
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:41,200
Speaker 30: to fix it. And again, when there's a bipartisan recommendation

1837
01:35:41,400 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 30: like that, it's almost incumbent on Congress to at least

1838
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:46,759
Speaker 30: give it a look because this is a huge problem.

1839
01:35:46,920 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 30: The kids are suffering. I mean everything that you heard

1840
01:35:50,560 --> 01:35:53,559
Speaker 30: that you've heard today is caused by that.

1841
01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 11: Yeah, it is.

1842
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:56,680
Speaker 34: So I look at things like say Third Country as

1843
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 34: an area trying to be able to get clarity there

1844
01:35:59,360 --> 01:36:02,679
Speaker 34: ending the parole abuse, which we don't have a clear

1845
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 34: definition of humanitarian parole. We've got to be able to

1846
01:36:04,760 --> 01:36:07,439
Speaker 34: make that very very clear. Dealing with a Title forty

1847
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,720
Speaker 34: two like authority for emergency moments, to say, when the

1848
01:36:10,760 --> 01:36:13,080
Speaker 34: cartels hold a bunch of folks and they rush a

1849
01:36:13,120 --> 01:36:17,160
Speaker 34: border patrol station or an area at that point, what

1850
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:19,400
Speaker 34: to be able to do on that tvp R A

1851
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,839
Speaker 34: flores all these different areas, These are areas that Congress

1852
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:24,559
Speaker 34: has got to be able to act on and provide

1853
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:26,960
Speaker 34: clarity because courts are going to define it in different

1854
01:36:26,960 --> 01:36:29,680
Speaker 34: ways and the rules are even different in Texas than

1855
01:36:29,720 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 34: what they are in California or in Arizona based on

1856
01:36:32,320 --> 01:36:34,639
Speaker 34: different court actions. And so we've got to be able

1857
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:36,760
Speaker 34: to have some clarity on this, and that's an area

1858
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,280
Speaker 34: where Congress has got to be able to act. So

1859
01:36:39,720 --> 01:36:41,519
Speaker 34: saying all that, the other issue that was brought up

1860
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:46,080
Speaker 34: before was about what are called special interest aliens. These

1861
01:36:46,080 --> 01:36:48,080
Speaker 34: are folks that are coming in from dust Jikostan in

1862
01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:50,519
Speaker 34: other areas that the Mexicans are not going to take back.

1863
01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:53,639
Speaker 34: These are recalstrint countries that are not accepting folks back.

1864
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:56,000
Speaker 34: We've got to have some sort of legal responsible We

1865
01:36:56,000 --> 01:36:58,599
Speaker 34: also have the authority of the administration to be able

1866
01:36:58,640 --> 01:37:01,320
Speaker 34: to put State Department pressure on some of these countries

1867
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:03,559
Speaker 34: as well. But this is an area that we've got

1868
01:37:03,560 --> 01:37:05,679
Speaker 34: to be able to clarify in law on the recol

1869
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 34: string country. Any comments from any of you specifically about

1870
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 34: those individuals.

1871
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:12,960
Speaker 15: Arthur Senator Langford.

1872
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:15,680
Speaker 30: When I was the chief of the National Security Law

1873
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:17,759
Speaker 30: Division at i ANDS, I worked for Jane at Reno.

1874
01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:20,960
Speaker 30: Whenever we picked up a special interest ailing at the

1875
01:37:20,960 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 30: border misering, it would call me day and night. I

1876
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:25,680
Speaker 30: got a lot of calls from the command center in

1877
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:29,360
Speaker 30: the middle of the night today, those individuals are being

1878
01:37:29,400 --> 01:37:32,120
Speaker 30: released into the United States, are being processed by line

1879
01:37:32,120 --> 01:37:36,000
Speaker 30: border patrol agents. This is a completely ridiculous situation. We've

1880
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:40,479
Speaker 30: heard or FBI Director Chris Ray talk about every light

1881
01:37:40,600 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 30: is blinking. We are in a situation I served at

1882
01:37:43,960 --> 01:37:46,639
Speaker 30: the ISS before September eleventh. We are in a situation

1883
01:37:46,760 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 30: right now that is so much worse than what we

1884
01:37:48,880 --> 01:37:49,400
Speaker 30: were looking at.

1885
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:52,240
Speaker 34: We had seventy thousand people that were special interest aliens

1886
01:37:52,240 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 34: that came in last year that we know of at

1887
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 34: this point from DHS records, and FBI told me point blank,

1888
01:37:57,520 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 34: because Chris Ray sat right there and I asked him,

1889
01:38:00,160 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 34: he told his point blank that he is not aware

1890
01:38:03,000 --> 01:38:05,240
Speaker 34: of all the sias that are coming in. The DHS

1891
01:38:05,479 --> 01:38:08,280
Speaker 34: was not informing him of those individuals, so we are

1892
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:09,760
Speaker 34: not tracking those once during the country.

1893
01:38:09,800 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 11: It's Chairman, Thank you.

1894
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 13: Sener Kim, thank you Chairman. Thank you to the three

1895
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:18,599
Speaker 13: of you for coming on out here. I'm Senator Andy

1896
01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:21,679
Speaker 13: Kim from New Jersey. When I've gone around New Jersey

1897
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:24,240
Speaker 13: and taught to a wide array of people in terms

1898
01:38:24,240 --> 01:38:25,920
Speaker 13: of some of our objectives, what are we trying to

1899
01:38:25,960 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 13: achieve when it comes to border. When it comes to immigration,

1900
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:31,960
Speaker 13: a couple of things came up over and over again.

1901
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:34,480
Speaker 22: Number one about.

1902
01:38:34,360 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 13: Making sure that we can provide security for our nation,

1903
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 13: keeping our communities safe, our families safe, to addressing the

1904
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 13: migrant backlog, just the amount of pressure that we're feeling

1905
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:47,160
Speaker 13: in different towns, community cities all over the country. And

1906
01:38:47,320 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 13: three about how do we try to have an orderly process.

1907
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:52,880
Speaker 13: I think everyone in an agreement we are a sovereign nation.

1908
01:38:53,040 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 13: We should have control over our sovereign borders, whether air,

1909
01:38:56,240 --> 01:38:59,160
Speaker 13: land or sea. And so you know, I try to

1910
01:38:59,200 --> 01:39:02,439
Speaker 13: approach this in that kind of lens, and I appreciate

1911
01:39:02,520 --> 01:39:03,840
Speaker 13: your thoughts and other types of.

1912
01:39:05,400 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 15: Categories kind of thing through.

1913
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:09,240
Speaker 13: But you know, mister Isiaistin, I think I'd like to

1914
01:39:09,240 --> 01:39:11,519
Speaker 13: start with you, you know, when it comes to the security.

1915
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 13: I mean, I think you made a compelling argument about

1916
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,519
Speaker 13: some of the challenges faced by the cartels. But as

1917
01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:19,800
Speaker 13: mister Kuginelli, mister Arthur and others have also articulated, we

1918
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:23,040
Speaker 13: continue to face these challenges with cartels. Now, it wasn't

1919
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:25,560
Speaker 13: just unique to that moment where remain in Mexico is

1920
01:39:25,600 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 13: in place. So I guess I wanted to just ask

1921
01:39:27,520 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 13: you in, particularly when it came to the remain in

1922
01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:36,479
Speaker 13: Mexico period. How did that affect our security specifically? I

1923
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:40,120
Speaker 13: heard a lot about the atrocious behaviors and how it

1924
01:39:40,160 --> 01:39:42,880
Speaker 13: affected those that were waiting, But was there a particular

1925
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:47,000
Speaker 13: effect on us there or is it just cumulative? I mean,

1926
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:48,720
Speaker 13: we are experiencing a lot of that problems right now

1927
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:51,840
Speaker 13: from cartels. Was there something unique about that moment that

1928
01:39:51,960 --> 01:39:54,840
Speaker 13: remained in Mexico empowered the cartels to be able to

1929
01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 13: achieve I'd.

1930
01:39:55,760 --> 01:39:58,439
Speaker 21: Say both during the remain in Mexico period and also

1931
01:39:58,520 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 21: since when you've seen this larger search migration under in

1932
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 21: the Biden years, You've.

1933
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,640
Speaker 15: Seen cartels get wealthier. You've seen them consolidate.

1934
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:10,160
Speaker 21: You've seen it rather than smugglers just paying a fee

1935
01:40:10,760 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 21: for the right to be in a territory, the cartels

1936
01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:16,120
Speaker 21: themselves were taking over that territory, which made them more wealthy.

1937
01:40:17,000 --> 01:40:18,799
Speaker 15: How does that affect us in the United States?

1938
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,599
Speaker 21: Really, it's more indirect having wealthier cartels who that can

1939
01:40:21,640 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 21: reinvest in more criminal activity that ultimately crosses the border

1940
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:27,200
Speaker 21: affects US. We have not seen what you would call

1941
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:31,160
Speaker 21: spillover violence or cartels actually carrying out their hits or

1942
01:40:31,160 --> 01:40:34,000
Speaker 21: their kidnappings very much on the US side. I think

1943
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:36,560
Speaker 21: the samely, they wouldn't do that in a wealthy neighborhood

1944
01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:38,760
Speaker 21: of Mexico City because they want to live there. They

1945
01:40:38,800 --> 01:40:41,360
Speaker 21: don't do anything on the US side that would they

1946
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 21: have their kids going to school here, et cetera. They

1947
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:44,800
Speaker 21: also don't want to do anything that would trigger a

1948
01:40:44,800 --> 01:40:47,000
Speaker 21: border closure. So you don't always feel it in day

1949
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 21: to day life on the US side, but you do

1950
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 21: feel it indirectly.

1951
01:40:50,200 --> 01:40:51,559
Speaker 15: Yeah, well, I appreciate.

1952
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:53,040
Speaker 13: I mean, I don't want to linger too much on

1953
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:55,040
Speaker 13: them because I think you've answered this, But I think again,

1954
01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:58,880
Speaker 13: there's wide agreement across bipartisan about wanting to go after

1955
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:01,600
Speaker 13: the cartels to make sure we have that security. You know,

1956
01:41:01,640 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 13: mister Isisim, Mister Contenentally, you both raise something in your remarks,

1957
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:09,120
Speaker 13: you know, talking about that orderly process, addressing that migrant backlog.

1958
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:10,960
Speaker 13: You know, more than one ways we can do that

1959
01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:15,160
Speaker 13: and remain in Mexico. Tried to get at from one angle,

1960
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:17,240
Speaker 13: but one thing that kind of seemed to stretch across

1961
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,360
Speaker 13: is that need for some type of orderly process, whether

1962
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:25,040
Speaker 13: increase in judges or other aspects of that that try

1963
01:41:25,040 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 13: to shorten that timetable, shorten the window so that we

1964
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:30,880
Speaker 13: can try to adjudicate this and that'll help bring down

1965
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:33,360
Speaker 13: the backlog. So I guess I just wanted to ask

1966
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 13: each of you, you know, just is that an area

1967
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:37,639
Speaker 13: that we can find agreement on? Is that a place

1968
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:39,680
Speaker 13: where we can drill it on as a committee to

1969
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:41,840
Speaker 13: be able to try to address this? Why don't we start,

1970
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 13: mister Isisim and make our way down I hope?

1971
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:45,840
Speaker 21: So, I mean Section two O eight of the i

1972
01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 21: NA says that if you are on US soil and

1973
01:41:48,000 --> 01:41:51,080
Speaker 21: you fear for your life if you're returned, you do

1974
01:41:51,160 --> 01:41:54,080
Speaker 21: have the right to ask for asylum and get new process. Now,

1975
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:56,720
Speaker 21: whether you're going to do that harshly or whether you're

1976
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 21: going to do that gently. Right now, you've only got

1977
01:41:58,960 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 21: seven hundred judges and seven hundred asylum officers more or

1978
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 21: less to do that entire backlog, and that we need

1979
01:42:05,400 --> 01:42:06,559
Speaker 21: more capacity we have to do.

1980
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:08,759
Speaker 13: Is everyone in agreement we need more than seven hundred,

1981
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 13: mister Arthur.

1982
01:42:09,920 --> 01:42:10,120
Speaker 15: Yeah.

1983
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:13,439
Speaker 30: Having been an immigration judge myself, I read a very

1984
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:15,639
Speaker 30: very busy dock and my wife didn't see me much

1985
01:42:15,680 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 30: near neither did my son. But the important thing to

1986
01:42:19,560 --> 01:42:21,720
Speaker 30: keep in mind, Center Kim, when you're talking about this

1987
01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:25,320
Speaker 30: is how effective detention is. If individuals know that they're

1988
01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:28,639
Speaker 30: going to be detained until they're actually granted asylum, people

1989
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,439
Speaker 30: with bad asylum claims aren't going to come. That's good

1990
01:42:31,439 --> 01:42:33,800
Speaker 30: for two reasons. One because it makes it easier for

1991
01:42:33,840 --> 01:42:37,800
Speaker 30: border patrol. Two, people who deserve asylum need to be

1992
01:42:38,439 --> 01:42:40,760
Speaker 30: allowed to restart their lives in the United States. A

1993
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 30: lot of them have family back home who are in

1994
01:42:43,280 --> 01:42:45,080
Speaker 30: danger too. As soon as we give you asylum, you

1995
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:47,760
Speaker 30: can bring your family in the United States. But when

1996
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:50,400
Speaker 30: I left the bench in twenty and fifteen, the median

1997
01:42:50,479 --> 01:42:54,360
Speaker 30: detention time for people basically the time it took to

1998
01:42:54,400 --> 01:42:55,280
Speaker 30: do their asylum claims.

1999
01:42:55,280 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 15: So it's thirty six days.

2000
01:42:57,120 --> 01:42:59,720
Speaker 30: When you contrast that to eight hundred and forty six

2001
01:42:59,760 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 30: days one thirteen days what it's been in recent years,

2002
01:43:03,800 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 30: that's a problem. One of my facilities that I heard

2003
01:43:07,320 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 30: cases from was a family facility in Burke's County, pennsil

2004
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:13,960
Speaker 30: or Berk's Shelter in Pennsylvania. And you know, people, nobody

2005
01:43:13,960 --> 01:43:17,439
Speaker 30: wants to detain families, but it was the most humane

2006
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 30: situation you can imagine if I say it looked like

2007
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:22,760
Speaker 30: a college campus, my college campus didn't look that well.

2008
01:43:22,760 --> 01:43:25,240
Speaker 30: I went to Uba, so I mean it was. It's

2009
01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:27,519
Speaker 30: truly you could do it in a humanitarian manner. Do

2010
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 30: it quickly, get it done. We need more resources. Seven

2011
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 30: hundred and thirty judges.

2012
01:43:31,240 --> 01:43:31,800
Speaker 15: Isn't it enough.

2013
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:35,639
Speaker 20: If I made just very briefly, we heard talk about

2014
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:37,559
Speaker 20: the CBP app and how you wait at home to

2015
01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 20: do that. Well, really, that's what you should be doing

2016
01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,439
Speaker 20: with your application. You should be applying from your home country.

2017
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:46,120
Speaker 20: And we should be leaving people in their home country

2018
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:48,600
Speaker 20: or putting them back in their home country, pending the

2019
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:53,559
Speaker 20: outcome of any process to deter bad actors from coming,

2020
01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 20: but also so that we're in a position to process

2021
01:43:57,320 --> 01:43:59,599
Speaker 20: the people who are playing by the rules and fitting

2022
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:02,280
Speaker 20: within the boundaries of our laws as opposed to gaming them.

2023
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,000
Speaker 15: Thank you you back Center Scott.

2024
01:44:05,680 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 19: So can can I ask you?

2025
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:10,559
Speaker 35: And maybe I don't understand the law well enough, but

2026
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:13,559
Speaker 35: if somebody comes to say they come from a country

2027
01:44:13,560 --> 01:44:17,080
Speaker 35: that they don't want to accept the individual back, but

2028
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 35: they go, they get into Mexico and then they come

2029
01:44:19,880 --> 01:44:23,280
Speaker 35: in the United States, how why shouldn't that be Mexico's problem.

2030
01:44:23,280 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 35: Why shouldn't we just say you're the one that let

2031
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 35: them into your country. I mean why, I mean, I'll

2032
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:30,519
Speaker 35: get why we it's our problem, it's their problem you.

2033
01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 35: I mean, if you would do it. I mean, I

2034
01:44:32,840 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 35: mean I've raised their tariffs until they do it.

2035
01:44:35,040 --> 01:44:36,400
Speaker 19: I mean they're the ones that will.

2036
