President Trump appointing more than half of 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: his cabinet already today some more announcements. Doug Bergham is 18 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: going to be not only the Interior Secretary, but also 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: the Energies are quarterbacking all of the government's energy strategies. 20 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,280 Speaker 3: I want to talk about. 21 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,400 Speaker 1: One that isn't yet ready to be appointed, but I 22 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: think could become one of the most important FBI director 23 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: right now. Chris Ray hasn't resigned. He still has three 24 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: years on his term. He wouldn't have to give it 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 1: up until twenty seventeen. President Trump could fire him, he 26 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: could leave after the first year. We'll see. But we 27 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: have increasing fresh evidence almost every day of the sort 28 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: of problems, resistance and corruption that exists in the FBI. 29 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 3: Justin News has confirmed. 30 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: You may have seen the story trending on Twitter that 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: the cell phone companies in America have told Congress, specifically 32 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Chairman Barry the Lottomok of the House Administration Subcommittee and Oversight, 33 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: that they gave the FBI completely normalized phone data, no 34 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: corruptions of the data whatsoever, to help them find the 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: January six pipe bombers. The person who left those two 36 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: BI bombs. The FBI has testified that the data that 37 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: came to them was corrupt to the telephone companies of 38 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: now tell Congress that. 39 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 3: Is simply not true. 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: One has to ask yourself, why would the FBI not 41 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: want to figure out who planted those bombs and why 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: would they give Congress a potentially bogus story. Next week 43 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: we're going to get German Barry Loudi milk. But it 44 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: reminds us that if the FBI director opens up, that 45 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: is going to be one of the most important and 46 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: toughest jobs for cleaning out an agency. 47 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: Has a lot of problems. 48 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: Let me bring in my amazing co Samanda Head, as 49 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,000 Speaker 1: we do every time at this point in the show, Manda, 50 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: great to see a happy Friday. 51 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 3: What else is on your radar? 52 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 4: Happy Friday reactions from the media to President Trump's nominees, That's. 53 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 5: What I have on my radar. 54 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 4: Great to be here with you tonight, John. We are 55 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: so close to being done with a very consequential week 56 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 4: for America, and the news was flying fast and furious 57 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 4: these last few days about all of President Trump's cabinet 58 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: picks for his second stint in the White House. It 59 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 4: was like a Trump Advent calendar. And let me just 60 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 4: tell you, while most on the right were pretty happy 61 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 4: with them, a lot of people in the mainstream media 62 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 4: on the left, predictably, we're not for me personally, the 63 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 4: cabinet nominee. 64 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 5: Seem to be making all the right people mad. But 65 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 5: I'm just going to let you be the judge. 66 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 4: So first, let's take a look at the reaction to 67 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: Matt Gates being. 68 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 5: Nominated for Attorney General. 69 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: Here's former Deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe speaking 70 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 4: about it. 71 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 6: Now, Matt Gates is obviously wholly unqualified for this job. 72 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 6: He's someone who, I mean, quite frankly, couldn't get hired 73 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 6: by the FBI if he's have you ever been interested 74 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 6: in that, which I'm sure he never was. He is 75 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 6: singularly a disruptor. He is someone who's been selected because 76 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 6: of his interest and desire to go into the organization 77 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 6: and tear things apart, you know, likely get rid of people, 78 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 6: stop doing a lot of the work that the Justice 79 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 6: Department is currently doing. 80 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 4: So Andy, I think that that's why the American people 81 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 4: hired Donald Trump, so that. 82 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 5: He could hire people like that. 83 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 4: But anyway, then we have Tulsea Gabbard as Director of 84 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 4: National Intelligence. Now a lot of people are upset about 85 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: that too, especially those fifty one until Eligence officials who 86 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 4: signed that letter stating that the hunter Byen laptop was 87 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 4: Russian disinformation. So those people that lied about the laptop 88 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 4: in order to swing an election are very unhappy with 89 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 4: the Tulsi Gabbard pick. Here's one of those aforementioned fifty 90 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 4: one intelligence officials, John Brennan. 91 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 7: Explaining why clearly Tulsea Gabbert has taken actions and made 92 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 7: statements in the past several years that really raised serious 93 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 7: questions about her common sense, her judgment, as well as 94 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 7: her political sympathies. Closing up to Putin as well as 95 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 7: to meeting with the bashar Asad, I think really does 96 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 7: show that she doesn't have the type of perspective that 97 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 7: is needed for somebody who's going to head up these 98 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 7: eighteen intelligence agencies. 99 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 4: And frankly, when it comes to John Brennan, that fifty one. 100 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 5: Intelligence letter was just the tip of the iceberg. 101 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 4: So we can't really trust anything that John Brennan has 102 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 4: to say anymore. So I guess I'm just going to 103 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 4: let Tulsi takeovers for someone like him. 104 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 5: And then we have OURFK Junior. 105 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 4: We've had everyone from politicians to see in an anchor's 106 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 4: upset over that, and why Well, it's because there is 107 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 4: one sure thing about President Trump's picks for his cabinet. 108 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 4: They are very different from what we have had in 109 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 4: the past, and that's probably a good thing. So John, 110 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 4: let's get it back over to you to introduce our 111 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 4: first guest, someone who else has been a trailblazer in 112 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:15,600 Speaker 4: his job. 113 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 3: He sure has, and it's funny. 114 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 1: I was at the Latin Grammy Award last night in Miami, 115 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 1: and I was talking to a lot of the folks 116 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: in the room, and they have a lot of questions 117 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: about the Justice departments, a very big issue for them. 118 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: Will there be VISA reform something that Latinos were very 119 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: concerned about that I talked about last night. Will there 120 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 1: be a new FBI director? Will there's an era of 121 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: weaponization come to an end? Well, we're pretty lucky. A 122 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: little bit ago, Amanda to talk to the chairman of 123 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: the House Judiciary Committee, which you'll have a large oversight 124 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: issue in deciding all those issues. 125 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: Jim Jordan was with us. Take a watch all right, 126 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: joining us right now. 127 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: A champion of liberty, a champion of great oversight, a 128 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: champion of the truth. The Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, 129 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, it's a chairman. 130 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 3: Great to have you back on the show. 131 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 8: Good do with you guys, Thanks for having me. 132 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: And exciting two years ahead in all Republican majority of 133 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 1: in town. We're gonna get a lot of work done. 134 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: But I want to start with something that's going on now. 135 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: It seems like the last few weeks of the Biden 136 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: Justice Department there's a lawful lot of activity. It looks 137 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: like new weaponization going on. Can you bring us up 138 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: to speed. Are you concerned and are you seeing things 139 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: that look disturbing to you? 140 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 9: Well, yeah, we're always concerned. 141 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 8: I mean, this pattern of turning these agencies on the 142 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 8: very people that are supposed to serve we the people, 143 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 8: the taxpayers, has been a concern from the get go. 144 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 8: But yeah, we're concerned now with what they may be 145 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 8: doing with the anti trust issue, going after companies as 146 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 8: they're heading out the door. Of course, right prior to 147 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 8: the elections, we saw the Civil Rights Division in the 148 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 8: Justice Department going after Virginia for simply keeping non citizens 149 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 8: from voting in our elections. Imagine that we got the 150 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 8: same thing in Ohio. Our Secretary of State was sent 151 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 8: a letter three weeks before election day saying they were 152 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 8: concerned about the good work he was doing. So we're 153 00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 8: always concerned about this. We're going to keep working. It's 154 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 8: why it's frankly, it's slightly different, but it's why we 155 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 8: sent the letter to Jack Smith, preserve all information. We 156 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 8: want to know what these guys have been up to, 157 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 8: and you do that so that it doesn't continue to happen, 158 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 8: doesn't happen in the it doesn't happen in the future. 159 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: It's so important, mister Chairman, with respect to a number 160 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: of your requests, because you have made a number of 161 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 4: them to Jack Smith and others with risk requests to 162 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 4: with respect to the requests to preserve documents inauguration a 163 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 4: couple months out if if there is any intent to 164 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 4: destroy or maybe there's not, but with the new administration 165 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 4: coming in, is there a way to pick through what 166 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 4: they have tried to hide If they don't in fact destroy. 167 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 8: Anything, well that's why I put them on notice. Preserve 168 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 8: everything and understand the Congress. The history is that Congress 169 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 8: oversees these special counsels. You can go back just a 170 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 8: few years ago when the Democrats were in charge of 171 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 8: the House and Bob Muller was doing his investigation. Of 172 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 8: course Jerry Nabb, the and Chairman of the Guiciary called 173 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 8: him in. 174 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 9: We got the report, of course, you know. 175 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 8: More recently it's been John Durham, it's been Robert Hurr 176 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 8: and concerns we had there, but we got Jack Smith, 177 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 8: and of course we still have David Weiss, and we 178 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 8: think it's important that they get those reports, get that 179 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 8: information in Congress. In the case of Jack Smith, where 180 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 8: he's going to be done, he's going to know, you know, 181 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 8: no more prosecution, They're going to go away. That's why 182 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 8: we ask them to preserve things. And then specifically with 183 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 8: one of the lawyers working for him, Jay Bratt, we 184 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 8: have concerns about mister Bratt. What were his conversations with 185 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 8: people when it looks like he was at. 186 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 9: The White House. 187 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 8: We want to know if in fact that happened, who 188 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 8: he talked to, what he talked about, any correspondence relevant 189 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 8: to that. And then mister Bratt has also went with 190 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 8: one of the defendant's lawyers said to that lawyer, we didn't. 191 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 9: Know you're a Trump guy. 192 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 8: We thought you were interested in this judge position as 193 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 8: almost his veiled threat. So we think all that is 194 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 8: worthy of us getting information on and making sure again 195 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 8: this kind of stuff doesn't not supposed to happen, shouldn't 196 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 8: happen in the future. 197 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, So Chairman, can I follow up because as we 198 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: have seen and we've heard from Chairman Lauder with respect. 199 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 5: To the January sixth Committee. 200 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 4: They were told to preserve documents, but they you know, 201 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 4: there's been a there's. 202 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 5: A pension for destruction. What would happen if. 203 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 9: They did well? 204 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 8: I mean, it'd be up to the new Justice Department, 205 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 8: in the new Attorney General. You know, if they willingly, 206 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 8: knowingly destroyed stuff that they were unnotice that the Congress 207 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 8: had asked them to keep and that they should have camp, 208 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 8: then that's a problem. But it'll still be up to 209 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 8: the Justice Department if they pursue that. So again, putting 210 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 8: well notices step one. 211 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 9: That's why we did it. 212 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so important, sir. 213 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about a vice 214 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: of reform. You have been a champion of first showing 215 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: just how systemically it was abused in the FBI and 216 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: the Justice Department, the NSA. With a new sheriff in town, 217 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: you've got a new Attorney General potentially Matt Gates, a 218 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: new FBI director, a new d and I who is 219 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 1: I think a pretty big champion of liberty. 220 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: Is this the moment where we're going to see some changes? Man? 221 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 9: I hope so.

If they want to go spy on 231 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 8: your stuff, they got to go to another separate equal branch, 232 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 8: to the additional branch, to get a warrant to do that. 233 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 8: And we don't have that under the current phis of regime, 234 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 8: particularly when they search this what I call the giant 235 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 8: haystack of information and use John Solomon's name, his phone number. 236 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 9: His email address. 237 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 8: If you're going to do that, you got to get 238 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 8: a warrant for goodness sake.

This is 267 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 8: back when he was in the Twitter files and we 268 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 8: were finally really getting hard evidence that they were doing 269 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 8: what they thought what we thought they were doing all along, 270 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 8: which was the government working with big tech. 271 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 9: To censor Americans. And Elon exposed that. 272 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 8: And then we learned it was happening at everywhere else, 273 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 8: At Facebook, at Amazon, everyplace else we found out it 274 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 8: was happening too. We've done numerous investigations and reports, but 275 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,319 Speaker 8: they systematically went after Elon Musk sent this all these questions. 276 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 8: One of the questions was, who are the journalists you're 277 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 8: talking to you talk about, you know, not respecting the 278 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 8: First Amendment, And they named four of them.

We all know 331 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 4: the pharmaceutical companies and how much they're advertisements feed a 332 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 4: lot of the big media companies. Does big media get smaller? 333 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 4: With RFK at the top of HHS. 334 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 9: I don't know, but I. 335 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 8: Think freedom gets bigger and that's what that's what I 336 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 8: care about. When RFK Junior came in to testify the 337 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 8: Democrat now again, I caught him a few weeks ago 338 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 8: and a few months ago when he first endorsed President Trump, 339 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 8: and we laughed at first because I said, you know, 340 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 8: when I invited you in, you and Tulsey and other 341 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 8: Democrats to talk about the person Amendment. 342 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 9: I took some heat for that. 343 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 8: People are like, what's Jordan doing by Republican inviting the 344 00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 8: candidate running for Democrat presidential And I said, but we 345 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 8: look like geniuses now that this new coalition's coming together. 346 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 8: When RFK Junior came in to testify, Democrats made a 347 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 8: motion to go to executive session so that no one 348 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 8: kick everyone out of the committee rooms, have the members 349 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 8: and the witnesses. 350 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 9: They made that motion so. 351 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 8: That no one could hear what RFK Junior was going 352 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 8: to testify to in a hearing on censorship. 353 00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 9: Think about it. 354 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 8: You can't make this stuff up. That's how crazy the 355 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 8: left has become. OURFK Junior is about freedom, expanding freedom. 356 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 8: What impact that may or may not have on pharmaceutical companies. 357 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 8: I'm focused on freedom and making sure Americans get the 358 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 8: right information, good information. And frankly, he's focused on health 359 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 8: and pretty healthy guy. 360 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 9: For I forget how old. 361 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 8: I think he might be like seventy seventy two, but 362 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 8: looks like just picture, you know, great health, So he 363 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 8: must be doing something right. I appreciate his courage stepping forward, 364 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 8: endorsement President Trump and standing up for the First Amendment. 365 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 3: I love that freedom gets bigger. 366 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: That's probably the bumper sticker for the next four years, 367 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: the opportunity ahead of us. And I want to say something, 368 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be at this moment, mister Chairman, if it 369 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: wasn't for all the great work you did all the 370 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: way back to sixteen when the FBI. You fought through 371 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: a lot of stuff to get the American people the truth. 372 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: And now we're at that moment of restoring freedom. So 373 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: good on you for all you've done. 374 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 9: We'll same to you guys. 375 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 8: You guys, you've been out there doing the doing journalism 376 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 8: like it's supposed to be done, getting getting facts and 377 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 8: digging and getting stories. 378 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 9: So thank you as well. 379 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, great to have you on. Thanks so much. What 380 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 3: a great interview. You've had a lot of news there. 381 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,119 Speaker 1: I think about how different the last eight years of 382 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: history would be if he were not in the middle 383 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: of everything that Jim Jordan got himself involved with. Speaking 384 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: of big change on the winds, it's going to be 385 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: happening at the border. We got the perfect guest that 386 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: right after the commercial break, Art Delquato, head of the 387 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: Border Patrol Agency Union, going to be here right after 388 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: these messages. 389 00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 5: Welcome back to just the news, no noise. 390 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,719 Speaker 4: Perhaps the biggest issue this election cycle was the southern border, 391 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,040 Speaker 4: as the Biden Harris administration allowed millions of legal immigrants 392 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 4: or in with virtually no background checks at all. And 393 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 4: I don't think we have to explain why. That's pretty 394 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 4: dangerous for our country, and it seems that the rest 395 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 4: of the country agrees. It's a major reason why President 396 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 4: Trump will be back in the White House come January. 397 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 4: So how is he going to go about shutting down 398 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,520 Speaker 4: the southern border? Joining us now to talk about that? 399 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,679 Speaker 4: As National Border Patrol Council Vice President Art de el Cuato. 400 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:58,360 Speaker 5: Art, great to see. 401 00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 11: My friend, Thank you for having me. 402 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 5: Okay, I want to borrow. 403 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 4: A phrase from the commily campaign and do a quick 404 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 4: vibe check on border patrol since last Tuesday, because leading 405 00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 4: up to the election, we had heard reports that there 406 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 4: was going to be a huge swath of Border Patrol 407 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 4: agents who were pretty much ready ready to turn in 408 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: their resignation papers. I'm hearing that those people who were 409 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 4: considering resigning are seeing a sea change at the White 410 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 4: House and reconsidering absolutely. 411 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 11: And you know what, from being out there and seeing my. 412 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 12: Heroes in green that I like to refer to, even 413 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 12: the uniform looks brighter nowadays, to be honest, not just 414 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 12: the days ahead. So I mean, it's you can tell 415 00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 12: the difference in mood from the agents out there, from 416 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 12: everyone out there realistically that's putting their lives on the 417 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 12: line continuously. But unfortunately we're in for some tougher a 418 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,399 Speaker 12: couple of months until President Trump does take over. And 419 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 12: we've seen it, you know, numerous individuals that have come 420 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:54,040 Speaker 12: across the border. There's also a significant drug war going 421 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 12: on just south of south of Arizona and Sonora. 422 00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 11: And we're seeing the effects of that. 423 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,840 Speaker 12: Or some of these individuals have come across turned themselves 424 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 12: in in the middle of nowhere, some of them that 425 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 12: have been severely injured because they're going back and forth 426 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 12: and they're trying to escape from these drug wars. So 427 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 12: that's probably why you've seen some of the numbers come 428 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 12: down a bit. It's because the individuals that are involved 429 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 12: in crossing these groups are too busy fighting themselves recently. 430 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: Wow, so I have to keep an eye on all right. 431 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 3: I want to ask you a little bit. 432 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: Will there be a moment around Christmas or just before 433 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 1: Trump takes office? Well, there'll be one last er, the 434 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: last effort by those who are trying to cross the 435 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,160 Speaker 1: border legally get in before Joe Biden hands the keys 436 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: to Donald Trump. 437 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 12: I think there is, and unfortunately you're seeing it now. 438 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 12: And you've got to remember President Trump, he did win, 439 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 12: but he's not in office yet, so you're still seeing 440 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 12: the same amount of agents that are stuck in processing centers. 441 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 12: And because they're stuck in processing centers, the cartails realize that. 442 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 12: So right now it is there a big push to 443 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 12: try to get as much across and make as much 444 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 12: money as possible before the new administration takes over. 445 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, amazing. 446 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 4: All right, I want to ask you about the flow 447 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 4: that feeds those people coming across the border and therefore 448 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,080 Speaker 4: makes money for the cartels. With President Trump winning the election, 449 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 4: are there people who are coming from further countries, places 450 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: where it would be a month's long journey, who are 451 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 4: deciding not to even embark because they won't get here 452 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,399 Speaker 4: in time. So at least we're just dealing with the 453 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 4: flow of people who are already south. 454 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 9: Of the border. 455 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 12: So look, this administration, they themselves have been opened DHS 456 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 12: has been opened that under the current last four years, 457 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 12: they've arrested people from one hundred and sixty eight different countries. 458 00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 12: That is pretty much from all over the world. But 459 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 12: you are going to see the numbers drop from other 460 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 12: outside countries. 461 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,160 Speaker 11: And it is because of that. 462 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 12: Because right now, in order to get out here, it 463 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 12: would take longer for them to get to those areas 464 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:46,280 Speaker 12: of the border. So I suspect that is going to happen. 465 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 12: At least that's what happened last time that President Trump won. 466 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 12: You got to remember when President Trump won in twenty sixteen, 467 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,879 Speaker 12: the numbers went down just with Rederick alone. He hadn't 468 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 12: even pushed any policies at that point, and so I 469 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 12: believe you'll see that. But unfortunately, the groups that you 470 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 12: are seeing come across. Since the cartels are going to 471 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 12: be in charge and have been in charge, they're going 472 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 12: to be able to send big groups in one spot 473 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 12: because they know it sends agents there. Their big push 474 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 12: right now has been heroin, methan fhetamines, and fetnyl. 475 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: What a challenge, sir. 476 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: I know that's a pretty clear plan once Donald Trump 477 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: gets in. He's been clear about it. We're going to 478 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 1: build that wall, We're going to return remain in Mexico. 479 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: We're going to deport all the people that came here. 480 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: There's one challenge I think that the administration is going 481 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: to face. That is there is a new Mexican president 482 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: from the last time President Trump was in. If he 483 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to want to cooperate too much on the border, 484 00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,560 Speaker 1: tell us what you know about the Mexican president and 485 00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: what the prospects are for getting Mexicans cooperation for this 486 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 1: very important operation to Claire America of all of our 487 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 1: legal aliens. 488 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 12: So the current president of Mexico, they come from the 489 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 12: same political party as the one that was there previously. 490 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 11: So I think you know President Trump. 491 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,280 Speaker 12: President Trump was able to convince and say and do 492 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 12: the right things for the last administration down in Mexico 493 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 12: to cooperate. Obviously, he's not the president yet, but I 494 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 12: seriously suspect that once he is in office, they're going 495 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 12: to reconsider and they're going to be a lot more 496 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 12: helpful than they say they're going to be. 497 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 3: That sounds about life to me. 498 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 13: Yeah, as you talk to border patrol agents as they 499 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 13: are patrolling the border, we all know what happened to 500 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 13: a lot of the materials that were left at the 501 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 13: border that was supposed to be used to make. 502 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 4: To build the wall. Are you are you still seeing 503 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 4: those materials? Have they been hauled off? I assume that 504 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 4: most of them have decayed? Are there any that are 505 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 4: salvageable that can be used for the Trump border wall? 506 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 5: Two point zero? 507 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 12: So I think that is the most fantastic question I've 508 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 12: been asking quite some. 509 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 11: Times, so I appreciate you asking it. 510 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 12: Unfortunately, what I've been seeing, and you know, it took 511 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 12: other individuals to show me. I wasn't even aware of 512 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 12: it. It was it was friends outside, not having anything to 513 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 12: do with dhest. It showed me some of that material 514 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,479 Speaker 12: had been auctioned off. They were auctioning off a lot 515 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 12: of that material out of very cheap price just a 516 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 12: couple of months ago. So I'm not sure where the 517 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 12: material is and how much material they have left or 518 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 12: how much they actually already auctioned off and was purchased 519 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 12: by other people. 520 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 3: Amazing a terrible loss. 521 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's horrible. 522 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 3: It is. That's terrible for them to taxpayer. 523 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 1: I want to ask a little bit about the efforts 524 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: to get migration legal migrants going and out of the 525 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: country on outward bound path. I assume right now there's 526 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: probably an effort underway to find detention center locations, extra 527 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 1: space so we can accelerate the process. Do you have 528 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,200 Speaker 1: any visibility into what's going on there. 529 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 12: I haven't seen exactly what they're doing, but would I 530 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 12: have been calling out, not in a bad way, but 531 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 12: you know, there's a lot of individuals that have been 532 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 12: very up spoken about the issues at the border, particularly 533 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 12: you know, other law enforcement agencies within the border itself, 534 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 12: near the communities, and I think it's time to put 535 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 12: it all on effort, and perhaps some of that effort 536 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 12: is going to be for some of these local sheriffs, 537 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 12: local agencies that have been upset over the flow that's 538 00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 12: been coming around. 539 00:23:58,160 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 11: Is to actually, you know. 540 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 12: Be able to use their facilities, put their facilities ease 541 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 12: up and say, hey, you know, you're welcome to use 542 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 12: some of our facilities in order to alleviate I know 543 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 12: there's got to be some money back and forth that 544 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 12: they're probably going to want to charge the federal government. 545 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,679 Speaker 12: But you know, again to borrow an old line, you know, 546 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 12: ask not what your country can do for you, ask 547 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 12: what you can do for your country. 548 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 11: And I think now's the time to prove that. 549 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 12: And you know, using some of those detention facilities is 550 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 12: going to be extremely helpful. 551 00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, right before we let you go, do you anticipate 552 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 4: that as soon as President Trump takes his hand off 553 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 4: the Bible at high noon on January twentieth heads to 554 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 4: the White House, that you guys are going to get 555 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 4: an immediate memo that says, shut the border down. And 556 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,160 Speaker 4: how does how long would it take you to effectively 557 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 4: fortify that. I know you've got to have extra men 558 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 4: and women people there to fortify it, but how do 559 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 4: you anticipate that happening on January twentieth? 560 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 5: And how long will it take the seale of up? 561 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 10: No? 562 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,160 Speaker 12: Absolutely, you know it's going to take a policy change 563 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 12: right away, and he's just I think the easiest thing 564 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 12: to be done at that point is say look, no 565 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 12: more catching or lease. From now on, every individual that 566 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 12: you detained, you have to detain them, show that they 567 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 12: actually have a group assylum before you release him. And 568 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 12: I think that's what's going to lower the number once 569 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 12: his talk. You take away that incentive and you tell people, hey, 570 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 12: you can't come ask for us time and get released. 571 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 12: You're gonna have to be detained. That is going to 572 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 12: drop the numbers tremendously. And then it's going to allow 573 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 12: law enforcement and other agencies to try to go in 574 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 12: different places and find out those that decided to circumvent 575 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 12: the law and avoided apprehension, or those that avoided going 576 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 12: to their immigration cort. But I think it's going to 577 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 12: be that easy. It will be with a stroke of 578 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,000 Speaker 12: a pen and say look, no more catch and release. 579 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,479 Speaker 11: That gets rid of the incentive magic of the terrence. 580 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: Right like when dad comes home. Dad's mad, So you 581 00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 4: better shape up.

They're excited they know a new sheriff is 602 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 1: in town.

What does it mean for the 605 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: people in Texas who suffered so much. 606 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 14: Well, it's extremely important. John's great question. And one thing 607 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,640 Speaker 14: I didn't mention. I was also on the Public Education 608 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 14: Committee for all four years, and I was in the legislature, 609 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 14: my beautiful ride of forty eight years. I taught fourth 610 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 14: grade twenty seven years, so I've read eight slipt education, 611 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 14: public education. Why do I say that kindergarten through twelve 612 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 14: three hundred thousand illegals across the Texas border last year. 613 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 14: In one month, if twenty percent of them were in 614 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:12,440 Speaker 14: kindergarten through twelfth great age, that's sixty thousand kids. Somebody 615 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,120 Speaker 14: has to pay to educate. Guess who that somebody is. 616 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,640 Speaker 14: It's the American people. And then fast forward that job 617 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 14: over the healthcare situation where they go into these clinics, 618 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 14: these county hospital, mergenery rooms. They can't afford to pay 619 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 14: our great mill our great medical person are going to 620 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 14: take care of them. 621 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 10: They're going to have to get paid for their services. 622 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 10: The building has to be. 623 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 14: Financed, so medical help, medical care is going to go up. 624 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 10: Again. 625 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 14: Guess who's going to pay that. It's Americans. We cannot 626 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 14: afford to be the charity for the world. 627 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 4: That's right, and I think that's why President Trump was 628 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 4: so successful with the America First agenda. We want to 629 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 4: help other countries, but we have to put our people first. Congressman, 630 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 4: I want to ask you about some of the outside 631 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 4: of the box ideas I've heard floating around from Republicans 632 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 4: about how you can actually pay for deportation operations, especially 633 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 4: for terrorists, the ones that they need to prioritize. And 634 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 4: one of the ideas I heard was taxing maybe to 635 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 4: a greater degree. You know Western Union transfers, international transfers 636 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 4: from people here to other areas of the globe. Do 637 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 4: you think that that's something that would be viable. 638 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,959 Speaker 14: Well, there's something that's been banned around ever since I 639 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 14: was even in the Texas legislature. 640 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 10: I have confidence in President Trump. He's going to come 641 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:25,440 Speaker 10: up with the process. 642 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 14: He's I have to believe, and I think you'll probably 643 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,760 Speaker 14: will agree that there's a new sheriff in town, as 644 00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 14: was said. 645 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 10: And so you're already seeing some of. 646 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 14: These nations across the world because America has lost it's 647 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 14: standing as a power under I call him President Obiden 648 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 14: because I think he's Obama's third term. And with Trump 649 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 14: and back in the White House, you're going to see 650 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 14: him come up with ways to make for example, immigrants 651 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 14: from Maine in Mexico stop catching release and actually start 652 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 14: deporting some of these you're hearing some of these Democrat mayors. 653 00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 14: I know you all are paying attention, and we appreciate 654 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 14: Real America's voice for what you I'll do getting the 655 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 14: word out. 656 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 10: You hear some of these Democrat mayors say that they would. 657 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 14: Actually fight the federal government if they tried to deport illegals. 658 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,480 Speaker 10: That were in their area. And think about poor Lake 659 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 10: and Rileigh it cost her her life, and think about 660 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 10: all of the illegals that are here. 661 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 14: That there's been multiple young women killed, raped and killed. 662 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 14: And I'm like, Trump will come up with that policy 663 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 14: that will absolutely put the halt on this. 664 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, so important. Do you think Congress would have the 665 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: will to strip some federal funding if a city or 666 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: a state decided to keep sanctuary status and refuse to 667 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 1: cooperate with the federal government. 668 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 10: I sure hope so, John I actually tweeted that out. 669 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,880 Speaker 14: You know, let's take away their money and let all 670 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 14: federal benefits all federal benefits. 671 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 10: Of course, Texas says. 672 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,479 Speaker 14: You know, is extremely conservative state, so we get it. 673 00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 14: Even when I was in the Texas legislature, we spent 674 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 14: two hundred million dollars a session trying to secure the border. 675 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 14: And so all of a sudden, Greg Abad, as you know, 676 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 14: came up with the brine idea to start exporting some 677 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 14: of those illegals. So all of a sudden, some of 678 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 14: these start crying. They cried for a while they wanted 679 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 14: more federal money, billions of dollars in New York, for example. 680 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 14: And now that Trump's coming back into office and saying 681 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,719 Speaker 14: We're going to fix this problem. 682 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 10: We're going to deport those. 683 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 14: Who are dragged on the economy as a laid out 684 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 14: in health and also in education. Now he's back in 685 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 14: office to do that, and they're going, Oh, we will obstruct. 686 00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 10: You every way we can. You can't make this stuff up. 687 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:25,360 Speaker 3: It's crazy. 688 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, Carson. 689 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 4: We are already saying predictably acrimony between borders are Tom 690 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 4: Homan and people like Illinois Governor JB. 691 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,440 Speaker 2: Pritzker. 692 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,640 Speaker 4: Tom Holman saying we're going to get the criminals out, 693 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:39,560 Speaker 4: which I don't know why anybody would would be opposed 694 00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 4: to that, and then JB. Prisker's saying, we're going to 695 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 4: protect our people when it comes to extracting the criminals 696 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 4: out of communities. On one hand, you would think that, 697 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 4: because this could potentially blow up and be a pr 698 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 4: crisis for the Trump administration, you got to do it 699 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 4: with surgical precision. On the other hand, mainstream media is 700 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 4: going to criticize him anyways. And why not just go 701 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 4: in like gangbusters and remove the worst of the worst. 702 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 14: Well, that's an inter thing word to use gang busters, 703 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 14: because the gang is there. You're seeing gangs in Colorado, 704 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:07,960 Speaker 14: You're seeing gangs all over the place. 705 00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 10: And that's exactly what the federal government needs to do. 706 00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 10: And look, the Constitution is very explicit. 707 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 14: Power is left to the states the tenth Amendment, but 708 00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 14: the federal government does have a role to play and 709 00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 14: immigration and naturalization ragier Constitution is up to Congress. We 710 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 14: go on there, we set those rules, we set those laws, 711 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 14: and I don't care. It's not that I don't care 712 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 14: these states who apparently don't care about their own citizens 713 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 14: watching young girls get raped, assaulted, murdered, because just because 714 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,640 Speaker 14: they don't care, I think we have the right to 715 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 14: go on there and remove the gang if you want 716 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 14: to use that word, the criminals, the criminal element. 717 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's going to be a big moment should that happen. 718 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: So I want to talk a little bit about the 719 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: neighbor to the south. In the past, when we had 720 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: to implement remain in Mexico, work pretty well in your 721 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 1: Mexican government was pretty cooperative. They have been a little 722 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,240 Speaker 1: more tough sounding and uncooperative sounding with their new president. 723 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: Do you think that changes with President Trump? Are they 724 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: going to need a little extra persuasion from Congress? 725 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 14: I think extra persuasion. Sherman McCall had a committee. We 726 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,760 Speaker 14: went down there on a codale to Mexico. 727 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 10: I went with him, and. 728 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 14: I speak of Spanish, and of course I'm good friends 729 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 14: with Sherman McCall. We actually meant the two women running 730 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 14: to make history in Mexico, the first female president of 731 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 14: Mexican history, And sadly we think the one that got 732 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 14: who became a got elected, was a little less conservative 733 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 14: than the other one. So I'm quite sure there's going 734 00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 14: to need some more We're gonna need some more power 735 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 14: down there, some more persuasive policies so that they can 736 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 14: get on track with us. 737 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 10: And I think I think Trump you probably know this. 738 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 14: When Trump says something, he means it, and I think 739 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 14: they'll learn that the hard way. 740 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,360 Speaker 3: They probably are going to learn that the hard way. 741 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,640 Speaker 4: Right Congressman Democrats for many election cycles have been saying 742 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 4: we're going to make in runs in Texas. Pretty soon, 743 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 4: we're going to turn it purple and maybe even blue. However, 744 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 4: in this election, New York came closer to turning red 745 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,240 Speaker 4: than Texas came to turning blue. 746 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 5: To what do you attribute that? 747 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 14: Well, I think people around Texas has been a very, 748 00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 14: very conservative state for a long long time. 749 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 10: I got involved in Ron. 750 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,719 Speaker 14: Reagan ran for election at eighty three, and the I 751 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 14: got involved in the Republican Party. I've watched this, paid 752 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 14: attention to city council. I've been really involved with. I've 753 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 14: been a preseason share election clurer, co election judge, I've 754 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 14: held elections. So I've watched Texas for a long time. 755 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 14: I've watched these other states. I think people are waking 756 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,880 Speaker 14: up thanks to you all and news out lists like you'll, 757 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 14: they're finally getting to see what a blight, what a 758 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 14: scourged this illegal immigration is on our country.

So what other ways can President 824 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,560 Speaker 4: Trump go about dismantling it? Joining us to discuss that 825 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 4: is the president of the New Civil Liberties Alliance and 826 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 4: former Chief of Staff and then Congressman Mike Pompeo, Mark 827 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,480 Speaker 4: Chenow with Mark, thanks so much for being here tonight. 828 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,439 Speaker 9: Great to be with you, Amanda and John Good. 829 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,040 Speaker 4: Okay, So, President Trump has nominated vi vaik Ramaswami and 830 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 4: Elon Musk in Concert to head up Doge. But I 831 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 4: want to ask you, as you look at the whole 832 00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,880 Speaker 4: body of government in Washington, d C. What department do 833 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,359 Speaker 4: you think deserves to go on the chopping block first? 834 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 4: What has the most fat that needs to be cut off? 835 00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:23,800 Speaker 15: Well, I don't know if it has the most fat, 836 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,319 Speaker 15: but it has maybe the most illegal conduct by the 837 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,919 Speaker 15: Biden administration over the last few years, and that's the 838 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 15: Department of Education. We've seen both with what they've been 839 00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:36,600 Speaker 15: trying to do with Title nine and misinterpreting that, and 840 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,120 Speaker 15: with what they've done with student loan debt forgiveness, which 841 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 15: they've tried to do unilaterally in a way that Congress 842 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 15: has never authorized. I think those are two places where 843 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 15: we've really seen unlawful administrative power. And if you're going 844 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,879 Speaker 15: to have that, then can we really just do away 845 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,239 Speaker 15: with that and put all the important things back at 846 00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 15: the state level in terms of education governance. 847 00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, Block grants helped you a lot more than some 848 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:03,920 Speaker 1: of the bureaucracy we've got. Now, Mark, I want to 849 00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,680 Speaker 1: ask a little bit about the significance of the reversal 850 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,920 Speaker 1: of the Chevron doctrine. It happened in the summer, but 851 00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,480 Speaker 1: while we're all kind of focused on the election, the assassinations, 852 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,919 Speaker 1: all the things, but from a busting the administrative state 853 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 1: and all of that illegal sort of monarchical monarchy like 854 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: power that was assembled at the end of the Chevron 855 00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 1: doction could be a big win for busting this administrative 856 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: state in the next few years. 857 00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,439 Speaker 3: Right, absolutely a big win. 858 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,520 Speaker 15: The New Civil Liberties Alliance represented the plaintive sin the 859 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,359 Speaker 15: Relentless case, which was the companion case to Low or Bright, 860 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 15: which is the one you'll hear more about, but it's 861 00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:40,919 Speaker 15: one decision covered both both cases. And what that did 862 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 15: is that essentially told the federal judges, you need to 863 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 15: go back to being an independent federal judiciary and no 864 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 15: longer defer to the legal interpretations of these federal agencies. 865 00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,720 Speaker 15: The Chevron doctrine had been in effect for forty years, 866 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 15: and it's one of the main reasons why these federal 867 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 15: agencies have grown so dramatically over the last four decades 868 00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:07,040 Speaker 15: because under Chevron, if a statute was either ambiguous or 869 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,760 Speaker 15: you know, if it were if there was a gap 870 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:14,760 Speaker 15: in the statute, then agencies could interpret could essentially create 871 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,759 Speaker 15: power out of thin air from that gap or ambiguity 872 00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 15: in the statute, and the Supreme Court said no more. 873 00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 15: If Congress has not given you the statute for authority, 874 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 15: you do not have it. 875 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 4: So, Mark, does that mean that members of Congress are 876 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 4: going to have to spend more time on Capitol Hill 877 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,560 Speaker 4: because they're not experts? And that was always the argument 878 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,960 Speaker 4: that because they weren't experts, they were handing off this 879 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:39,440 Speaker 4: responsibility to these bureaucrats. Does that mean that members of 880 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,440 Speaker 4: Congress are going to have to spend a little bit 881 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 4: more time, maybe study a little more about the issues 882 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:44,800 Speaker 4: to pass legislation. 883 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 15: Well, I do think Chevron upset the incentive structure, right, 884 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,319 Speaker 15: So instead of instead of congressmen and congresswomen doing the 885 00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,000 Speaker 15: work of figuring out some of these things, having hearings, 886 00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:00,040 Speaker 15: making the important legislative decisions, it was too easy for 887 00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 15: them to just delegate some of that power over to 888 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 15: administrative agencies and then maybe behind the scenes call over 889 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 15: to the agency and say we want this, we don't 890 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:12,800 Speaker 15: want this. There's less accountability with that, there's certainly less 891 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 15: democratic input with that. And we also have seen that 892 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,799 Speaker 15: with these administrative agencies, they're not looking to compromise. The 893 00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 15: administrative agencies are sort of one size fits all and so. 894 00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 15: Whereas in Congress they look at how all of these 895 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,200 Speaker 15: things are going to affect constituencies, how they're going to 896 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 15: affect small business, how they're going to affect the religious communities, 897 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 15: and so forth, administrative agencies tend to just ignore all 898 00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 15: of that and force one solution down on everyone. And 899 00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 15: I think we'll see less of that going forward as well. 900 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, Mark got about a minute laugh real quickly. The 901 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: Justice Department typically settles a lot of cases as they're 902 00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: going out the door in a departing administration, should we 903 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: be on alert that the DJ's up to some funny 904 00:40:57,920 --> 00:40:58,640 Speaker 1: business right now? 905 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:04,400 Speaker 15: Absolutely beyond alert to be very suspicious of any settlements 906 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 15: that are reached at this point in the administration, and 907 00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,520 Speaker 15: be looking for the incoming administration to take a look 908 00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,279 Speaker 15: at anything that's left over and figure out whether some 909 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,839 Speaker 15: of these cases need to be continued or not. There 910 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:24,320 Speaker 15: may be opportunities for the incoming administration to deal more 911 00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:29,880 Speaker 15: judiciously with some of the existing litigation. And remember a 912 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,960 Speaker 15: settlement requires two sides, so it could be that they're 913 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,399 Speaker 15: going to try to settle if there's any litigation that's 914 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 15: been brought in a sort of collusive way, then they 915 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,719 Speaker 15: may try to settle that. But if there's somebody who 916 00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 15: the government's been going after in an enforcement kind of way, 917 00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:46,719 Speaker 15: they may hold out. They may feel like they can 918 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:51,080 Speaker 15: get a fairer treatment from the incoming administration, So they 919 00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 15: may not be willing to settle at this juncture unless 920 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:54,440 Speaker 15: they get a fair shake. 921 00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 4: Great point, Yeah, Mark, Before we let you go, tell 922 00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 4: everybody where they can find out more about New. 923 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 5: Civil liber Alliance. 924 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 15: In CLA legal dot org is our website in CLA 925 00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:06,920 Speaker 15: legal dot org.

Will the Trump administration, along with Congressional 942 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 4: Republicans be able to cut taxes and cut government spending 943 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 4: to go along with us? 944 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,759 Speaker 5: Wouldn't that be glorious?

And there's a 949 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 16: lot to be excited about. And this is not always 950 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 16: an exciting topic. 951 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 10: You know. 952 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that is very true, Pete. When I'm out 953 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:21,960 Speaker 4: and about in America, one of the things that I 954 00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,400 Speaker 4: hear from taxpayers the most is, hey, whatever happened to 955 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,759 Speaker 4: those those you know, double sided index cards. That was 956 00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 4: one of President Trump's ideas in his first administration. 957 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:32,680 Speaker 5: It never got implemented. 958 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:36,080 Speaker 4: Taxes are way too complicated for no reason unless you have, 959 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 4: you know, cross border taxes or something. Do you think 960 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 4: that that will be something that we could possibly get 961 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,239 Speaker 4: back around to, and why is anybody opposed to that? 962 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:47,879 Speaker 16: We should queue up an honest discussion on how much 963 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,879 Speaker 16: we can simplify the tax law and not just make 964 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 16: it easier to pay or pay less, but actually complying 965 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 16: with the law in a simpler fashion so that you 966 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 16: may never need one of those complex software programs. You 967 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 16: could actually look at a tax form that makes sense 968 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,279 Speaker 16: to most human beings and pay your taxes that way 969 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 16: or get your refund that way. I think having that 970 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,760 Speaker 16: discussion would be very helpful. 971 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,040 Speaker 3: Here. 972 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,279 Speaker 16: Does Congress have the bandwidth for it? Well, that's a 973 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:21,759 Speaker 16: big question. What they have to do is get that 974 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:26,520 Speaker 16: reconciliation process done so they set the spending and revenue 975 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,280 Speaker 16: levels early, and then they can get to work on deciding, well, 976 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:34,360 Speaker 16: are we going to extend a lot of the tax 977 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 16: relief provisions of the twenty seventeen law. Are we going 978 00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 16: to go in a totally different direction move to a 979 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,359 Speaker 16: flat rate income tax or a consumption style tax. Those 980 00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:47,919 Speaker 16: plans have been on the table for the better part 981 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:52,359 Speaker 16: of forty years actually, and can Congress do it in 982 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 16: the space of a few months. Well, the transition could 983 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 16: be mapped out, but I think they need to start 984 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:00,640 Speaker 16: out on a more model path. 985 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's probably what will happen. 986 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,240 Speaker 1: One agency that got blown up in size and sometimes 987 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,880 Speaker 1: blown up for its bad work is the irs. It 988 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,640 Speaker 1: doesn't come up much in the conversations in this period 989 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: post election, But it feels like an agency in need 990 00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,480 Speaker 1: of a mission change or certainly a mission realignment. 991 00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 16: What do you think, Yeah, absolutely, we talk about a 992 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:27,000 Speaker 16: lot of midnight rulemakings at the EPA or other agencies. 993 00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,200 Speaker 16: We've got to watch out for that near the end 994 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 16: of twenty twenty four. For the IRS, there are really 995 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:37,480 Speaker 16: terrible ones going on that would affect partnerships across America. 996 00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 16: It would affect how cryptocurrency gets reported. They're just awfully complicated, 997 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 16: tortuous rulemakings that would cost billions of dollars on the economy. 998 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,319 Speaker 16: Those need to be paused while new leadership gets in 999 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:57,360 Speaker 16: in Washington. And the eighty billion dollars of funding the 1000 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 16: IRS got for more enforcement under the Biden administration, well 1001 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 16: that's been paired back to sixty billion, but that's still 1002 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,440 Speaker 16: plenty for the agency to play around with, and playing 1003 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:11,879 Speaker 16: they are. They have used up all of the allocated 1004 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:17,120 Speaker 16: money pretty much for taxpayer service improvements. They're still behind 1005 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 16: on modernizing their computer systems. They need another major reset 1006 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 16: from Congress and the President to say you're going to 1007 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,280 Speaker 16: have to make do with a little less than another 1008 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 16: sixty billion, and you've got to focus on modernization, not 1009 00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 16: more harsh enforcement tactics. You modernize that agency, you're going 1010 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:42,040 Speaker 16: to get better taxpayer compliance without a lot of bully tactics. 1011 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 2: That's a great point, Peter. 1012 00:46:45,239 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 4: Our national debt is seventy five percent higher than it 1013 00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,799 Speaker 4: was in twenty seventeen, so of course our choices are. 1014 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 5: Going to have to be made. 1015 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,359 Speaker 4: I think back to another world leader's ten year Prime 1016 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,719 Speaker 4: Minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, and he was one of 1017 00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,200 Speaker 4: those leaders who made some tough decisions, and not long 1018 00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,800 Speaker 4: after that he was hired by the Canadian people. The 1019 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,360 Speaker 4: American people have a little bit of amnesia, so we 1020 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 4: tend to forget around election time the misdeeds or the 1021 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 4: perceived misdeeds earlier. 1022 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 5: In that cycle. 1023 00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 4: Are these things, these tax cuts, things that President Trump 1024 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,319 Speaker 4: and Republicans in Congress should get done right away as 1025 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,200 Speaker 4: soon as possible, so the time midterms roll around or 1026 00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 4: the next general election, maybe maybe people aren't so mad 1027 00:47:22,239 --> 00:47:22,680 Speaker 4: about it. 1028 00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 16: Yeah, that's a good idea. Implement the changes quickly, and 1029 00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,719 Speaker 16: especially when it comes to reducing federal spending in order 1030 00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 16: to match the tax cuts we're going to have, So 1031 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 16: we don't keep putting upward pressure on the national debt. 1032 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,000 Speaker 16: At some point you have to say some level of 1033 00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,400 Speaker 16: taxation is preferable to some level of debt. Otherwise we 1034 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 16: should be borrowing the federal budget in its entirety every year. 1035 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,600 Speaker 16: But those hard choices are going to involve tax cuts too. 1036 00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,560 Speaker 16: Do we want to have everything both the President and 1037 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 16: Congress are proposing, or do we have to make some 1038 00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,000 Speaker 16: compromise is while we cut spending to try and keep 1039 00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:06,640 Speaker 16: the debt under control. You know, one example is not 1040 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:11,360 Speaker 16: taxing social security benefits at all. Well, the unfair social 1041 00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 16: security benefits taxation has been around for a while. Maybe 1042 00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 16: instead of getting rid of it entirely, a good start 1043 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 16: is to index for inflation the thresholds at which you 1044 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:27,440 Speaker 16: begin paying that tax, at least protect seniors from having 1045 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 16: to pay more going forward, and then work on a 1046 00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,040 Speaker 16: way to start ratcheting back the taxes on social security benefits. 1047 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,880 Speaker 16: That gives you time to implement the changes without a 1048 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,160 Speaker 16: lot of disruption and without a lot of debt. 1049 00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, very smart, pretty strategic way to go about to that. 1050 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,640 Speaker 1: We got about three seconds left. We were at four 1051 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,120 Speaker 1: point nine trillion dollars of spending before COVID. Now we're 1052 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,799 Speaker 1: north of seven trillion. Do you have a number in 1053 00:48:51,840 --> 00:48:54,080 Speaker 1: mind that Congress can set the dials and say it's 1054 00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,799 Speaker 1: easy from that point to start then getting a common 1055 00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,120 Speaker 1: sense and budgeting again. 1056 00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:02,080 Speaker 16: It's got to be between five and six trillion. Nobody 1057 00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 16: should be able to argue right now that the federal 1058 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 16: government can't live on that. 1059 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 11: Elon Musk and. 1060 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:13,120 Speaker 16: Theak Ramaswami could cut federal spending by a trillion dollars 1061 00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 16: through the DOGE and it would still be fifty percent 1062 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 16: more than we've been spending in twenty nineteen. We've got 1063 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,640 Speaker 16: a long way to go, and we can do it. 1064 00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,879 Speaker 1: Such a stunning statistic when you hear that, that's crazy. 1065 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 5: Unbelievable, unbelievable. 1066 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:29,880 Speaker 4: Pizza, President of the National Taxpayers Union, we love the 1067 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 4: work that you guys do. 1068 00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,560 Speaker 5: Over over at National Taxpayers Union.
