1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: There are a lot of Americans that are asking this 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: question about what's happening in Minnesota, and that is Hold 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: on a second. As we're talking about ICE and all 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 1: the attacks on ICE agents and the shootings, what happened 5 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: to the billions of dollars in fraud that was uncovered, Well, 6 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,200 Speaker 1: we're looking into that. That's exactly what we know is 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 1: coming out of the FBI. But what the FBI Director 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: Cash Hotel also says is there's going to be a 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: full investigation into the active actions of the left wing 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: terrorist organizations that are doing much of this in Minnesota. 11 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: He said this earlier today on my good friend Benny 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: Johnson's show, Take a Listen. 13 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 2: Okay, so this is breaking news. So are you and 14 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: the FBI and perhaps other intelligence agencies are fully aware 15 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: of this coordinated effort to attack federal law enforcement, to 16 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 2: impede them and potentially insurrect and so there is now 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 2: an open investigation into the into these chats and into 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: this coordinated network. Yeah, some of them are, some of 19 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 2: them are fleeing. Some of them are very scared. Now 20 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 2: you can see their chats. They're they're very, very worried 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 2: now that they have been exposed, Well, they should be. 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 3: If they broke the law, you should be worried. It's 23 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 3: that simple. If you didn't break the law, there's really 24 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 3: nothing to worry about on that front. And so you know, 25 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 3: we're going to continue as I've said from day one. 26 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 3: We will protect law enforcement. We will make sure they 27 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: have the security and safety to do their jobs. We 28 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 3: will also ensure that civilians have the ultimate protection of 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: the First and Second Amendment. But it is my job 30 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,040 Speaker 3: to adjudicate the difference when there is a breaking a 31 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: federal statute or state law in the furtherance of a 32 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 3: crime or violence against law enforcement officers, and that's when 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: we step in. 34 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 4: And that is when we step in. Now. He wasn't 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 4: done there. 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 1: He also talked about they've identified the funders behind the 37 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: left wing groups attacking ice in Minnesota and what does 38 00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: that look like. 39 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: Ash you've been doing And I saw some announcements just 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: this morning, some major arrests of some of the left 41 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 2: wing terrorists who've been attacking law enforcement, attacking federal agents, 42 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: stealing rifles. I believe it was an FBI rifle or 43 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: a DOJ rifle in this January fourteenth attacking. Gives update 44 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: on that. 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:17,799 Speaker 5: Yeah. 46 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 3: Absolutely. Look, we've always said that, you know, we are 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 3: going to defend absolutely your right to peacefully protest under 48 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: the First Amendment, and we're also always going to uphold 49 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: your right to bare arms in the Second Amendment. That's 50 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: never changed. We're going to equally protect all of those 51 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 3: The only thing we're not going to do is allow 52 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 3: any of those amendments to be violated when you pursue 53 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: a course of action of violence against law enforcement. It's 54 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: that simple. That position has never changed. So on January fourteenth, 55 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 3: you referenced a mob literally rioted and destroyed federal police vehicles. 56 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: Of course we jumped into action. We caught and arrested 57 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 3: four individuals responsible for breaking those vehicles apart and dismandling 58 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: them completely. But I have an update for you. In 59 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 3: that vehicle was firearms Stitmich, thankfully we recovered, but was 60 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 3: information about law enforcement, federal agents and their personal information. 61 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 3: Individuals use that personal information on the ground to issue 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: threats of life against not only FBI agents, but their 63 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 3: wives and their children. So just last night, the FBI 64 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: arrested one of the individuals responsible for making those threats 65 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: to federal law enforcement and We're gonna have more rest 66 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 3: on that same matter today and tomorrow. We're not done. 67 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 3: And that's the distinction. You want to go out there 68 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: and peacefully protests, have at it. You want to go 69 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: out there and use your secondment and right to bear arms. Okay, 70 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: no problem, But look at the situation in Minnesota. This 71 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: is not something that just happened overnight. They've been riding recklessly, 72 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: destroying federal vehicles, ramming federal agents, literally hitting them, striking them, 73 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: and as you just highlighted, using coordinated attacks to threaten 74 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: their families. None of that is lawful and none of 75 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 3: that will be tolerated. You do not get to touch 76 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 3: law enforcement. And we've got also investigations I'm going into 77 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: the funding of this. We've made actual, substantial progress. I 78 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: just can't publicize it yet, but we've actually found groups 79 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: and individuals responsible for funding it because it's not happening organically. 80 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: It's not happening organically. Now we also know the FBI 81 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: Director Cash Pattel spoke about the investigation underway in the 82 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: Minnesota shooting. There's a lot of people that are obsessed 83 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: over that most recent shooting, and this is what he 84 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: had to say. About the transparency aspect of that investigation. 85 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 6: Joing me now with more on the investigation is the 86 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 6: director of the FBI Cash Partel Director. Thanks sorry much 87 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 6: for being here this morning. And I know that this 88 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 6: is a DHS investigation, but there is outrage across the 89 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 6: country that there is another killing. Someone is dead at 90 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 6: the hands of border patrol. What can you tell us? 91 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 3: Great to be with you, Maria, and look Secretary No 92 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 3: stated perfectly. You do not get to attack law enforcement 93 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 3: officials in this country without any repercussions. You do not 94 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 3: get to do that in Minnesota, LA, or anywhere else. 95 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 3: And the interagency is leading the charge out there. We've 96 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 3: already arrested with the Interagency those that violated the Face 97 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 3: Act and impeded a priestful prayer in church. We've already 98 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: just last night arrested four more individuals involved in the 99 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 3: damage of government property that we saw the videos of online. 100 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 3: We've arrested in other individuals who've meant threats to law 101 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 3: enforcement online. So we are not messing around. It doesn't 102 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,799 Speaker 3: have to be in person. If you threaten law enforcement 103 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 3: officials or civilians, we are going to come find you. 104 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 3: And as for this latest shooting. Yes, DHS and HSI 105 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 3: are the lead, and the FBI is processing the physical evidence. 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,040 Speaker 3: So we're in possession of the firearm, which is going 107 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 3: to go to our laboratory. But as Secretary Nome said, 108 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 3: no one who wants to be peaceful shows up as 109 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 3: a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two 110 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 3: full magazines. That is not a peaceful protest. And you 111 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: do not get to touch law enforcement. You do that anywhere. 112 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 3: FBI is going to be following, leading the charge to 113 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 3: arrest those But. 114 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 6: How was he threatening border patrol? You've collected the evidence, 115 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 6: you said, right, you have the handgun in your possession, 116 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 6: that's right, And how was he using that handgun in 117 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 6: terms of threatening border patrol? What was the threat? He 118 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 6: had his camera right, he was filming it. 119 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 3: That's something that I let the DHS and the prosecutors 120 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 3: because they are the ones investigating that case. I don't 121 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 3: want to stylize that evidence, but I trust the men 122 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,919 Speaker 3: and women on the ground, who are trained professionals, to 123 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 3: only use it when it's absolutely necessary. And I trust 124 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 3: Secretary of Nomes leadership and DHS and HSI to do 125 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 3: the right thing as they've always done in these scenarios. 126 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 6: Christyomes said that the individual approached US Border patrol officers 127 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 6: with a nine millimeters semi automatic handgun. Was the gun 128 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 6: visible or did Border patrol see the gun after they 129 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:48,239 Speaker 6: shot him? 130 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 7: Again? 131 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 3: All the moose pieces of the investigators are being led 132 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 3: by DHS and HSI, and I don't want to comment 133 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: on their ongoing investigation. 134 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 6: I understand, But you have the evidence. What can you 135 00:06:58,320 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 6: tell us about the evidence you collected. 136 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: It's sent to our FBI laboratory where it'll be fingerpristed. 137 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 3: We'll use ballistics examination toolkits to see if any casings 138 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: were fired, and we'll examine all the casings that were 139 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 3: found on the scene. 140 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 4: How much. 141 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 6: Of this has to do with some of the rhetoric 142 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 6: in your view, Just two weeks ago, the Governor Tim 143 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 6: Waltz told residents to get their phones and start filming 144 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,679 Speaker 6: whatever is happening, and when they see border patrol, listen 145 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 6: to this. This is just two weeks ago from Governor 146 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 6: Tim Walt's watch. 147 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 8: If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take 148 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 8: out that phone and hit record. Help us create a 149 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 8: database of the atrocities against Minnesotan's not just to establish 150 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 8: a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution. 151 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 9: Your reaction. 152 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: I think that type of rhetoric is exactly what's leading 153 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 3: to violence against law enforcement. That is totally baseless and unnecessary. 154 00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 3: And for the State CEO to do that against our 155 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 3: law enforcement communities disgusting and revolting, and it should be 156 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 3: examined thoroughly as to anyone who's involved in inciting this 157 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 3: type of violence. It is absolutely improper, unlawful and will 158 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 3: not be tolerated any type of violence against law enforcement. 159 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 6: But it's not stopping. People are mad at ice and 160 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 6: want border patrol to stop. You saw what's happening right 161 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 6: now in Minneapolis. People are protesting in the streets, pushing 162 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 6: border patrol out. 163 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 7: How will this end? 164 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 3: This will end thanks to President Trump's brilliant leadership to 165 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 3: always back the blue. Law enforcement will hold the day. 166 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: The constitution and the rule of law will hold the day. 167 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 3: It is a tough time right now, but I believe 168 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 3: that our law enforcement officials on the ground, DHS, FBI, 169 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 3: local police force across the country are moving in the 170 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 3: right direction, and we will call these riots and we 171 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 3: will prevail. That's what we always do. 172 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: You can hear Cash Mattel making it clear they're not 173 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: going to back down. They're going to do what the 174 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: law says. They're going to go after the worst, and 175 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,559 Speaker 1: no matter what the Left tries to do, including the 176 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: governor as you heard there just two weeks ago in 177 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 1: an official address to the people in his state. I 178 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: want to be clear that was an official address, like 179 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: what you would see the equivalent from the Oval office. 180 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: It is truly incredible to watch a governor tell his 181 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,240 Speaker 1: citizens to turn on law enforcement. If you want to 182 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: know how we got to where we are now, with 183 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: the anarchy and the chaos and the streets and people's 184 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: lives that have been lost, it is because of this rhetoric. 185 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: Now the President is saying two things. One, we're going 186 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 1: to look into the corruption of the fraud. We're opening 187 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: investigations where we believe there needs to be investigations and 188 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,080 Speaker 1: there will be accountability for these actions. He also says 189 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 1: we're going to look into people like elam Omar, and 190 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: we're not just gonna sit back and act like what 191 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 1: they've done had nothing to do with corruption either. They're 192 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: going on a fact finding mission and if Democrats are 193 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: upset about that, The question that should be asked now 194 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: is what are they hiding. I think we should know 195 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: who's paying for all of this. It isn't all out 196 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 1: civil war. That's what the Democrats said they wanted in Minnesota. 197 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: But now Tim Waltz has called President Donald Trump. And 198 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: here's what we've been told about that conversation, Donald Trump 199 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: putting up on true social The Governor Tim Waltz called 200 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: me with a request to work together with respect to Minnesota. 201 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: It was a very good call, and we actually seem 202 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 1: to be on a similar wavelength. I told Governor Waltz 203 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: that I would have Tom Homan call him and that 204 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: what we're looking for are any and all criminals that 205 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: they have in their possession. This is exactly, by the way, 206 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: what hundreds of other cities do when they catch a 207 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: criminal it's an legal immigrant, and then they work with 208 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: federal authorities ice to make sure that they are taken 209 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: into custody. That's not what they do in sanctuary cities 210 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 1: or states like Minnesota. 211 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 4: Back to the President's. 212 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: Own words, the governor very respectfully understood that and I 213 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: will be speaking to him in the near future. He 214 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 1: was happy that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota, and 215 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: so am I We have such tremendous success in Washington, 216 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: d C. Memphis, Tennessee, and New Orleans, Louisiana and virtually 217 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: every other place we have touched, and even in Minnesota 218 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: crime is way down, but both Governor Waltz and I 219 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 1: want to make it better. Signed President Donald J. 220 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 4: Trump. 221 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: Now that wasn't all that the President had to say 222 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: on this issue. He also hours before that put out 223 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: this statement on true Social I'm sending Tom Homan to 224 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in the area, 225 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 1: but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom 226 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: is tough, but fair, and report directly to me. Separately, 227 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: a major investigation is going on with respect to the 228 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: massive twenty billion dollar plus welfare fraud that has taken 229 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 1: place in Minnesota and is at least partially responsible for 230 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: the violent, organized protests going on the streets. Additionally, the 231 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: DOJ and Congress are looking at Congresswoman Ilamo mar who 232 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: left Somalia with nothing and is now reportedly worth more 233 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,839 Speaker 1: than forty four million dollars. Time will tell all. Thank 234 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: you for your attention this matter. President Donald J. 235 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:33,199 Speaker 4: Trump. 236 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 1: Now you put that together with the White House Press 237 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: Secretary as she laid it out today from the podium 238 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 1: at the White House, exactly what the plan is and 239 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,120 Speaker 1: what the President's had to say about moving forward and 240 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: keeping all Americans safe. The President wants law and order, 241 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 1: not anarchy and chaos, which is what Governor Wald and 242 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,040 Speaker 1: Mayor Fry have given us. Take a listen. 243 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 10: It is President Trump's hope and wish in demand for 244 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 10: the resistance in chaos to end today. 245 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 9: That's why President Trump spoke with. 246 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 10: Governor Walls directly this morning, and he has outlined a 247 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 10: clear and simple path to restoring law and order in Minnesota. 248 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 10: Number One, Governor Waltz, Mayrefry and all Democrat leaders should 249 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 10: turn over all criminal illegal aliens currently incarcerated in their 250 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 10: prisons in jails to federal authorities, along with any illegal 251 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 10: aliens with active warrants or known criminal histories for immediate deportation. 252 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 10: Number two, State and local law enforcement must agree to 253 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 10: turn over all illegal aliens who are arrested by local police. 254 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 10: And then, thirdly, local police must assist federal law enforcement 255 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 10: in apprehending, in detaining illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes, 256 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 10: especially violent crimes. If Governor Walson Marefry implement these common sense, 257 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 10: cooperative measures that I will add have already been implamed 258 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 10: minted in nearly every single other state across the country. 259 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 10: Customs and border patrol will not be needed to support 260 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 10: ICE on the ground in Minnesota. ICE in local law 261 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 10: enforcement can peacefully work together, as they are effectively doing 262 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 10: in so many other states and jurisdictions. Additionally, President Trump 263 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 10: is calling on the United States Congress to immediately pass 264 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 10: legislation ending sanctuary cities once and for all. American cities 265 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,840 Speaker 10: should be safe sanctuaries for law abiding citizens only, not 266 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 10: for dangerous illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's laws 267 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 10: and do not belong here. 268 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 9: We hope Governor Walls will. 269 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 10: Do the right thing and continue to work with President 270 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 10: Trump to keep the American people safe. Following their call 271 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 10: this morning, Americans overwhelmingly want exactly what President Trump is delivering, 272 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 10: strong borders in strict immigration enforcement against the worst illegal aliens, 273 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 10: of which there are still hundreds of thousands to deport 274 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 10: from the interior of our country. The most peaceful way 275 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 10: to carry out this vital public safety mission is for 276 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 10: Republicans and Democrats to do it together, and for state 277 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,680 Speaker 10: and local law enforcement to work together with federal law enforcement. 278 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 9: We want to let cops be cops. You wouldn't know. 279 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 10: This continues to be a very popular policy position from 280 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 10: the biased media coverage over the course of the last 281 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 10: few days, but polling shows huge support for this exact thing. 282 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 9: President Trump is calling for. 283 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,479 Speaker 10: More than eighty percent of Americans favored deporting illegal. 284 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 9: Aliens convicted of violent crimes. 285 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 10: A country unable to deport criminals who enter it illegally 286 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 10: is no country at all. 287 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 9: The Open Border's agenda. 288 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 10: Of Kamala Harris, Tim Walls and the Democrats was already 289 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 10: on the ballot on November fifth, twenty twenty four, and 290 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 10: it was resoundingly rejected. President Trump will never back down 291 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 10: from his promise to deport violent, criminal illegal aliens and 292 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 10: make America safe again. 293 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 4: Caroline Levit is absolutely right. 294 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: The President was elected to do exactly what he's been doing, 295 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: and that is getting the worst among us out of 296 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: this country that broke into this country illegally. And if 297 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: you go back to exactly what the White House put out, 298 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: they've made it clear and transparent what they are demanding. 299 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,840 Speaker 1: Number One, that Governor Waltson, Mayor Fry and all the 300 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: Democratic leaders should turn over all criminal legal aliens currently 301 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: incarcerated in their prisons and jails to federal authorities, along 302 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known criminal 303 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 1: histories for immediate deportation. They also demand that state local 304 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,040 Speaker 1: law enforcement must agree to turn over all illegal aliens 305 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 1: arrested by local police. Now, again, this is all exactly 306 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: what the law is state you must do. 307 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 4: The president is not asking. 308 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: For anything outside of what the state of laws say 309 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: in this country. Number three, local police must assist federal 310 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: law enforcement and apprehending and detaining illegal aliens wanted for crimes. 311 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: Ice and local law enforcement can peace well, we work together, 312 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 1: as they are effectively doing in so many other states 313 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: and jurisdictions to remove violent criminals from American neighborhoods. There 314 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 1: are literally hundreds of cities in America where what you're 315 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: witnessing in Minnesota is not happening because law enforcement is 316 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: working together. That's what it's supposed to be. Many times 317 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,679 Speaker 1: when you see tragedies where they say they say local 318 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: law enforcement and federal law enforcement are working together. Right, local, 319 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: state and federal working together, especially when you're dealing with criminals. 320 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: But these individuals like Governor Walton, mayor Fry, refuse to 321 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:39,920 Speaker 1: do this. They put illegal immigrant criminals ahead of American citizens. 322 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: The other thing that the President said, Additionally, he's calling 323 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,159 Speaker 1: on the United States Congress to immediately pass legislation ending 324 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: sanctuary cities once and for all, because he understands that 325 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 1: every time there's a safe haven for these types of criminals, 326 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 1: it cost Americans their lives. It allows them a safe 327 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 1: haven to set up corruption and also to set up 328 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: crime syndicates. It also allows for illegal immigrants to steal 329 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: from American taxpayers. We've witnessed all of that in Minneapolis 330 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: and the surrounding area. American cities, he said, should be 331 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: safe sanctuaries for law abiding citizens only, not for dangerous 332 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: illegal alien criminals who broke our laws and do not 333 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,880 Speaker 1: belong here. He said this, we hope Governor Waltz will 334 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: do the right thing and work with President Trump and 335 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: his team to keep America and the American people safe. 336 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: So it is clear now the President United States of 337 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: America is saying, look, I am representing you. Americans overwhelmingly 338 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,360 Speaker 1: did exactly that an election day. They wanted strong borders, 339 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,760 Speaker 1: they wanted strict immigration enforcement against the worst criminal legal aliens, 340 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,840 Speaker 1: of which there are still hundreds of thousands to deport 341 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: from the interior of our country. You wouldn't know it, 342 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: the President says, from the bias media coverage. The polls 343 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,640 Speaker 1: show huge support for this very thing. More than eighty 344 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:09,800 Speaker 1: percent of Americans favor deporting legal aliens convicted of violent crimes. 345 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: The most peaceful way to carry out this vital public 346 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: safety mission, the White House says, is for Republicans and 347 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: Democrats to do it together, and for local and state 348 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: law enforcement to work with federal law enforcement to get 349 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: it done together. President Trump also saying he will never 350 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: back down from the promise to deport all violent criminal 351 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: legal aliens and make America safe again. It's a new year, 352 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 1: twenty twenty six. You've probably heard the name bitcoin and cryptocurrency. 353 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: So the question so many people have is is it 354 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: safe and is it something that I should be invested in. 355 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: It's a question I want to get answered for you 356 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: today in joining me now to talk about that. As 357 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 1: a co founder of Bitcoin Ira Chris Klin, Chris, I 358 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: appreciate you being here, and it is pretty cool to 359 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: see what's happening in the cryptos. It has become normal. 360 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: It now can be a part of your IRA. The 361 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: federal government has changed the rules. They're accepting cryptocurrency like 362 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: it's a stock. 363 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 11: Yes, absolutely, and it's really driven itself into a mainstream space. 364 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 11: I remember a decade ago when we first started bitcoin 365 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 11: IRA and everybody was like, are you crazy, kid? You're 366 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 11: putting bitcoin in retirement accounts? Is this even possible? And 367 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 11: you fast forward to where we're at today, where countries 368 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 11: are building stockpiles, corporations are building stockpiles. Strategy, for example, 369 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 11: is pretty much its entire business models around this. It's 370 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 11: a piece of diversification that every major player in the 371 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,719 Speaker 11: space and economics is looking at, and so should too, 372 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 11: the individual sovereignty of the average American looking to put 373 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 11: it inside of their retirement. 374 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 1: You guys actually have a really cool stat that you 375 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: told me about at dinner, and that is that your 376 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: clients seventy five percent were born before nineteen seventy six. 377 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: So the idea that you may be missed out on this, 378 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 1: or if you're a little older, it's a young man's 379 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 1: game in crypto that is also just not true. 380 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 11: That's definitely one of the myths I want to come 381 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 11: to bunk with you and your audience isn't This isn't 382 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 11: our grandfather's economy, and grandfathers are buying bitcoin and putting 383 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 11: it inside their retirement for long term holdings, especially now 384 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 11: that they're thinking about inheritance and handing some of these 385 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,960 Speaker 11: things down. But yeah, that was actually shocking to me. 386 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 11: We've discovered that in twenty eighteen that seventy five percent 387 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,959 Speaker 11: of them were older than my parents' generation. And what 388 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 11: we found from surveying all of them was this is 389 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 11: something that they think is new age and that I 390 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 11: think almost every American, especially older ones, has a genuine 391 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 11: concern of watching what's happened to the US dollar over 392 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 11: the last four or five decades. And there's always been 393 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 11: gold and silver's a potential hedge, land, real estate, these 394 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 11: scarce assets and bitcoin. While it may seem oh that's 395 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 11: digital and it's different, it's scarce. There's only twenty one 396 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 11: million assets bitcoin that will ever be mined. Nineteen and 397 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 11: a half million have been mined so far, and you 398 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 11: and I actually won't live our kids will probably live 399 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 11: to see the last one get mined. This is something 400 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:54,159 Speaker 11: you know, we're in a world of abundance since I 401 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,040 Speaker 11: was born in nineteen eighty five. It's abundance. We just 402 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 11: printed and printed and printed more. This is a moment 403 00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 11: in time where we may be able to revert back 404 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 11: to scarcity, and there'll be a day we're just saying 405 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 11: I have one Bitcoin will be life changing. 406 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 4: Chris. 407 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: I hope a lot of people that are watching this, 408 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: you guys, will go and find out more.

Senate Democrats are now threatening 414 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 1: to vote down key funding bills, particularly homeland security funding, 415 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: unless changes are made. What does this mean another government 416 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: shut down? The Whiteouts and Republicans are rejecting the democrats 417 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: demands for what they say is decoupling homeland security funding, 418 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 1: which increases the chances of a partial government shut down. 419 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 4: Now. 420 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: The Democrats opposition comes amid fallout from controversial actions, they 421 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,360 Speaker 1: say by federal immigration agents, but critics argue this decision 422 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: is creating political chaos and uncertainty now in the budget 423 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: process and the standoff over the DHS funding means essential 424 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: agencies like the Pentagon and education programs could face lapses 425 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: in funding if the Democrats choose to shut down the 426 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: government yet again. Now, opponents argue Democrats are playing hardball 427 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: politically rather than negotiating, which could also hurt their standing 428 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: with the public, and we can trust in the government 429 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,199 Speaker 1: operations in general under their leadership. There's also a bigger 430 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,439 Speaker 1: part of this Democrats going all in to attack law 431 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 1: and order, to attack law enforcement, and now wanting to 432 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: deliberately defund law enforcement. Is this really the message they 433 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,720 Speaker 1: want to be sending to voters ahead of the midterms. 434 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 1: Apparently they say yes. Now, how likely is it that 435 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,280 Speaker 1: we will have a government shut down? Senator Ted Cruz 436 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: and I sat down and talked about exactly that, and 437 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 1: here's what he said about his prediction of will we 438 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: actually have another partial government shutdown? And what we're now 439 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: witnessing is Democrats, I think, feel like this issue plays 440 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 1: to their base, It engages their base, and they're now 441 00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: going to use it to justify another government shut down. 442 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 4: This is my opinion. 443 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on it because I 444 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: think that we're headed there for this reason where they're like, hey, 445 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: we have a justification now for what we want to 446 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 1: get rid of ice. When we get rid of ice 447 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: funding funding for them? Is that wor' showing the government 448 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: down over? Are you seeing the way I'm seeing it 449 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: now that this is where we're headed. 450 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 7: Yes, But before we get the shut down, I want 451 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 7: to point out because politically, it's more than just their base. Yes, 452 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 7: it is true that these violent protests energize their base, drives, turnout, 453 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 7: drives fundraising. The crazies get all the more excited the 454 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 7: more violence the left foments. But it's about more than that. 455 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 7: It's also about totally capturing the news cycle, taking the 456 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 7: fraud and corruption out of the news cycle. That's a 457 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 7: totally separate objective that is critically important to them. But 458 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,479 Speaker 7: there is a third one ben which is not the 459 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 7: base of the Democrat Party, but rather moderate women soccer 460 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:29,400 Speaker 7: moms who may not be deeply politically engaged, and historically 461 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 7: moderate suburban women have been a swing vote. If you 462 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:38,399 Speaker 7: look in the last decade, the two most predominant political 463 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 7: movements we've seen is that we've seen number one, blue 464 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 7: collar voters moving right. That's moved Midwestern states. States like 465 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,879 Speaker 7: Ohio have gotten a lot red. They used to be purple. 466 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 7: Ohio's now read. But we've also seen suburban voters, particularly 467 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 7: suburban women, moving left, and that's moved what used to 468 00:25:56,320 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 7: be red states to purple. States like Georgia and Arizona, 469 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 7: both of them. Just a few years ago they had 470 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 7: four Republican senators from Georgia and Arizona. We now have 471 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,719 Speaker 7: four Democrat senators from Georgia and Arizona. The reason is 472 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 7: suburban women in Atlanta and Phoenix move left. The Democrats 473 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:19,160 Speaker 7: of the media are seizing on this to tell stories 474 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 7: and understand they're looking for not the person that is 475 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 7: following every development, but just the person who's living their 476 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 7: life and taking in what's happening and seeing a headline. 477 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:37,680 Speaker 7: You know, Ice shoots mother of three, Ice shoots ICU nurse, 478 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 7: Ice apprehends five year old child. That story was everywhere, 479 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 7: by the way, it's a total lie. It's absolutely false. 480 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 7: In fact, what happened is Ice came to apprehend the father. 481 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 7: The father ran off and abandoned the five year old child, 482 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 7: and understandably, Ice was not going to leave a five 483 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 7: year old child alone on the street in the middle. 484 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 4: Of death outside. 485 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they would leave alone period. But the 486 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: argument that the left has made, I'm like, let me 487 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: get this straight. You guys want the kid to be 488 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: left alone just to wander the streets of a city 489 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: and be alone. 490 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 4: That's insane. 491 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 1: And then in the winter when they could freeze death, 492 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:14,719 Speaker 1: that's also insane. 493 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 7: They by the way, they found the woman, the mother 494 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 7: of the child. It is reported they found the mother 495 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 7: of the child. They knocked on the door, tried to 496 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,400 Speaker 7: give the child back to her. She wouldn't take him. 497 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 7: She closed the door and said, no, I won't take him. 498 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 7: And so, look, the purpose of that story is not 499 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 7: actually factual journalism. It is entirely about telling a story 500 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 7: to pull on people's heartstrings and to cause suburban voters 501 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 7: who are not paying close attention to say, oh, this 502 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 7: has gone too far. If they're shooting moms and nurses 503 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 7: and arresting little kids, clearly it's gone too far. This 504 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 7: is a political campaign, and tragically it's a political campaign 505 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 7: that is costing people's lives. But because look, the political 506 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 7: campaign has had some real effect. It is it is 507 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,640 Speaker 7: having a fact We saw you know John Kasik speaking 508 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 7: of suburban women. We saw John Kasik put out a 509 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,800 Speaker 7: whole video saying, you know, oh, oh, I'm just I'm 510 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 7: hurting so much. We must stop, we must stop arresting illegals. 511 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 6: You know. 512 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 7: Unfortunately that's the target audience. And in the world of politics, 513 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 7: we've got to realize that we've got to confront the 514 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,399 Speaker 7: bad stories with stories that are compelling, and it's where 515 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 7: tone matters, and I would encourage Look, the administration is 516 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 7: doing a fantastic job securing the border. Illegal crossings have 517 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 7: dropped ninety nine percent. It's phenomenal. They're doing a terrific 518 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 7: job going and arresting violent criminals, murderers and rapists and 519 00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 7: gang bangers, which is why we've seen the murder rate 520 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 7: drop twenty percent. We covered that in the last podcast, 521 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 7: that the murder rate has dropped twenty percent sent across 522 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 7: the country. That's a massive success. What I think the 523 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 7: administration could do better is the tone with which they're 524 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 7: describing this. That immediately when an incident like this happens, 525 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 7: they come out guns blazing that we took out a 526 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 7: violent terrorist, hooray. And the problem is, particularly for someone 527 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 7: not paying attention if you're being told this is a 528 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 7: mom of three and there's no indication you know, she's 529 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 7: not waving an ISIS flag or doesn't have a suicide 530 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 7: vest around her. Yeah, escalating the rhetoric doesn't help, and 531 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 7: it actually loses credibility. And so I would encourage the 532 00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 7: administration to be more measured, to recognize the tragedy and 533 00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 7: to say we don't want anyone anyone's lives to be lost. 534 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 7: And the politicians who are pouring gasoline onto this fire, 535 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 7: they need to stop. 536 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 4: Yeah. 537 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 1: I agree with you there, and I also think, look, 538 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 1: facts matter. Blaming what happened is very important to five 539 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: year old story is a perfect example. All the morning 540 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 1: news shows, ABCNBCCBS, they led with that story and ran 541 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: it into the ground that morning, that a five year 542 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 1: old was detained by ice, and they didn't correct that story. 543 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 1: Not only is the Democratic Party looking for an opportunity, 544 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: so is the media and they now believe that like 545 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: this civil war and hold this flag up is you 546 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,800 Speaker 1: know and planet is we as Democrats were willing to 547 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: shut down the government to defund ice. That's going to 548 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: be the premise, is what I've been told from from 549 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: many in the media that I've talked to and some 550 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: of my friends on the left, they're like, yeah, we're 551 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: gonna shut down. We're justified this time, way more than 552 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: we were last time. Last time we really weren't justified 553 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: very much in shutting down the government, but we tried 554 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: it anyway. Now they actually feel in bolden do you 555 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: think a government shutdown is going to come? 556 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 4: Yes or no? 557 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: Yes, yes, okay, and it's going to be tied to 558 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: this issue, right, yes, yes, a. 559 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 7: One hundred percent. The last government shutdown, which was the 560 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 7: longest government shutdown in USS, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats 561 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,480 Speaker 7: forced through really to show his radical base that he 562 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 7: was fighting because he's scared of being primary by AOC. 563 00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,400 Speaker 7: But they also did it to tee up the issue 564 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 7: of health care and the cost of health insurance premiums. 565 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 7: Mind you, the premiums have skyrocketed because of Obamacare, because 566 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 7: of their policy. But they did the shutdown. It was 567 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 7: entirely with an eye towards November that they say, look, 568 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 7: we fought like crazy on health insurance, and the mean 569 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 7: Republicans didn't give us what we wanted, which was fifty 570 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 7: billion dollars in corporate welfare subsidies to giant health insurance companies, 571 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 7: and that's why your health insurance has gone up. Now 572 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 7: that's factually wrong, but it is a political narrative they're 573 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 7: telling here. They are going to tell the narrative, we 574 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 7: will not fund ICE under any circumstances, and we will 575 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 7: shut the government down. And by the way, the media 576 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 7: covered for them so much. Their base was so happy 577 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 7: with the shutdown. I think if they perceive very few 578 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 7: downsides to shutting the government down. Now, this shutdown that 579 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 7: will happen on January thirtieth will be will likely be 580 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 7: smaller than the previous one. And the reason is we've funded. 581 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: Still explain explain whide because does that mean they're being 582 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: more strategic in how they're doing it, or explain that. 583 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,960 Speaker 7: Now between the two we have passed some appropriations bills. 584 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 7: So once appropriations bills are passed, those departments are funding, 585 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 7: so AG that the Department of Agriculture is funded, and 586 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:35,160 Speaker 7: so everything that goes through AG is funded, CJS, Commerce, 587 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,800 Speaker 7: Justice and science that is funded. Energy is funded, water 588 00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 7: is funded, Interior environment, ledge branch, military construction in the VA, 589 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 7: all of those are funded. So the shutdown will not 590 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 7: impact any of those. So what would a shutdown impact? 591 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 7: It would it would impact Defense, the Department of War, 592 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,680 Speaker 7: It would impact the Department of Labor, It would impact HHS, 593 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 7: It would impact the Department of Education, It would impact 594 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 7: the Department of Transportation and Housing in urban Development. It 595 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 7: would impact the SEC, the FCC, the independent agencies, And 596 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 7: it would impact DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, and 597 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,920 Speaker 7: ICE directly under that. And I think you're going to 598 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 7: see the Democrats force a shut down. And actually you 599 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 7: don't have to take my words for it. Here, let 600 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 7: me read for you what Schumer tweeted out to the world. 601 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 7: He said, quote, what's happening in Minnesota is appalling and 602 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 7: unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common sense reforms 603 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 7: in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, but because 604 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 7: of Republican's refusal to stand up to President Trump, the 605 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 7: DHS bill is woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses 606 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 7: of ICE. I will vote no. Senate Democrats will not 607 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 7: provide the votes to proceed to the appropriations bill if 608 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 7: the DHS funding bill is included. Area is explicitly unequivocally 609 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 7: threatening a shutdown. I think that's what we're gonna see, 610 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 7: come James. 611 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 4: And by the way, he's not the only one. 612 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: So Elizabeth Warren was responding to another tweet. 613 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 4: I want to read it. 614 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: It was just the tweet she was responding to to 615 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: give it context. Says reminder, DHS legislation that funds ICE 616 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,360 Speaker 1: at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate 617 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: and needs sixty votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday. 618 00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren puts that out there with this and she says, quote, 619 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 1: I'm a hell no, not a penny more for ICE. 620 00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 1: We should not fund this terror. So she's also jumping 621 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: on board with this as well. And then there's other 622 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: centers have come out and so this is why I 623 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,400 Speaker 1: say this isn't a one off. This is clearly a 624 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: coordinated attack, is the best way I can describe it. 625 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 7: Well, here's Chris Murphy on CNN, give a listen. 626 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 5: I want to ask about what you're leader. Chuck Schumber says, 627 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,720 Speaker 5: the Democrats are going to vote against a government funding 628 00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 5: package that is before the Senate soon and it includes 629 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 5: money for the Department of Homeland Security. How is that 630 00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 5: going to play out? 631 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,480 Speaker 8: Well, we can't vote to fund this lawless Department of 632 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 8: Homeland Security. 633 00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,080 Speaker 1: We can't fund this lawless Department of Homeland Security center. 634 00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 1: That's pretty bold words if you ask me by a 635 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:17,200 Speaker 1: center that clearly is like, hey, we're all on the 636 00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: same page. 637 00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 4: This is what we're doing. Now. 638 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 7: Yeah, Look, that's the position of every Democrat. And understand 639 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,279 Speaker 7: this is the same position that is abolish ICE and 640 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 7: abolish the police. They're saying they're going to refuse to 641 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,279 Speaker 7: fund the Department of Homeland Security, the department that is 642 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,840 Speaker 7: charged with keeping us safe, with securing our border, with 643 00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,720 Speaker 7: protecting our families, and the Democrats are saying we won't 644 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,960 Speaker 7: fund it. So what will happen. I think there's a 645 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 7: chance we see Congress put together an appropriations package that 646 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 7: funds everything but DHS, that that might be that might pass. 647 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 7: In terms of DHS. I think the Democrats are going 648 00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 7: to force a shutdown, and I think they want it 649 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 7: to be extended and in order. 650 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 4: This is not a short one. 651 00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 1: To be clear, you think they want this to be painful, 652 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 1: almost like they're running in the midterms on this issue 653 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:09,879 Speaker 1: of ICE. 654 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 7: I think they want to be able to tell their base, 655 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:17,799 Speaker 7: we are defunding ICE, we are abolishing ice, we are 656 00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,920 Speaker 7: against law enforcement. We'rew the criminals.
