So, all told, sixteen 122 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: million dollars is what ABC is out of pocket. And 123 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: they also had to apologize. They had to issue a 124 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: statement of quote regret, and so they appended to the 125 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 3: story from the March tenth online article the following statement 126 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,479 Speaker 3: quote ABC News and George Stefanopolis regret statements regarding President 127 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 3: Donald J. Trump made during an interview by George Stefanopolis 128 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 3: with representative Nancy Mace on ABC's This Week on March tenth, 129 00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. And so, what were the statements that 130 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 3: that caused this? Well, George Stephanopolis repeatedly said Trump was 131 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 3: quote liable for rape and was found liable for rape 132 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,440 Speaker 3: in the civil case in New York. And Nancy Mace 133 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: was was on with Stephanopolis, and Stephanopolis played a clip 134 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 3: of Mace discussing being a victim of rape, and then 135 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 3: Stephanophilis asked her, quote, how do you square your endorsement 136 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 3: of Donald Trump with the testimony we just saw? Quote, 137 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 3: You've endorsed Donald Trump for president. Judges and two separate 138 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 3: juries have found him liable for rape and for defaming 139 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 3: the victim of that rape. And he was referencing the 140 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 3: lawsuit by Jene Carroll. Stephanopoulos repeated that claim ten times. 141 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 3: Ten times. He repeated that the jury has determined that 142 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 3: Trump was liable for rape. What the jury in fact 143 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 3: determined is that they found that that that he was 144 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: not liable for rape, but rather a separate crime under 145 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 3: New York law called sexual abuse, and Trump sued ABC News, 146 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 3: and Trump sued Stephanopolis for Stephanopolis repeatedly saying a jury 147 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: had found he was liable for rape when they explicitly 148 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: found he was not liable for rape. And at the 149 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: end of the day, this settlement is all about that. 150 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 3: That it is It is been black letter law for 151 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 3: a long time that when you falsely accused someone of 152 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 3: a felony, that that that is defamation. And ABC News 153 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: just repeatedly said he was liable for rape, liable for rape, 154 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 3: that's what the jury found. That's what the jury found. 155 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: And there was one minor problem. It wasn't true. And 156 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 3: so you know, you mentioned they settled this because Trump won. 157 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: It's true that Trump won, and it's true they settled this, 158 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 3: but I guarantee you their lawyers were telling them, listen 159 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 3: when you say over and over again, a jury has 160 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 3: find found someone guilty of a felony and the jury 161 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: found the opposite, that's information. And you're going to end 162 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 3: up writing a much bigger check if you don't settle 163 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 3: this this lawsuit, and and and it happened right after 164 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 3: the magistrate judge ordered both Trump and Stephanopolis on Friday 165 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 3: to sit for depositions next week, uh and and answer 166 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: questions under oath. And I think ABC realized they were 167 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: going to have to sit George Stephanopolis down, and Trump's 168 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: lawyers were going to get to ask him, Okay, did 169 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 3: the jury find him liable for rape? 170 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 2: Yes? 171 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 4: Or no? 172 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: And Stephanopolis would be forced to say no, did you 173 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 3: say that the jury found him liable for rape? And 174 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 3: Stephanopolis would have to be forced to say yes, did 175 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: you say ten separate times on National TV the jury 176 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 3: found him liable for rape? And Stephanopolis would grumble a 177 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 3: lot of times and be forced to say yes. And 178 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,959 Speaker 3: here here's the interesting question there. They were going to 179 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: ask him, did you know at the time that you 180 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 3: said ten separate times the jury found him liable for 181 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: rape that the jury exploited had found him not liable 182 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: for rape? And I don't know how Stephanopolis would answer that. 183 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 3: My guess is he'd be forced to say yes. But 184 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 3: he was either deliberately lying or he was utterly indifferent 185 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 3: to what the truth or falsity of what he was 186 00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 3: saying is. Either way, it is a real problem. And 187 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: I think they looked at that and they probably had 188 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 3: started prepping him for that deposition and realized there is 189 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,719 Speaker 3: no good answer for him to give, because look, they 190 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 3: just hate Trump and so they were happy to say 191 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 3: it. It sounds much more sensationialistic to say that, and truth 192 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 3: be damned. I think that's why they ended up writing 193 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 3: the check. 194 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: So can we just talk about the humor of this 195 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: for a second, the fact that ABC News is going 196 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: to have to write a check for fifteen million dollars 197 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: to the Trump Presidential Library, Like, do you name part 198 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: of the library the ABC Settlement Center. 199 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 2: I mean, this is amazing, It is truly astonishing. 200 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,839 Speaker 3: And by the way, there's some lefty voices on Twitter saying, oh, 201 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: free speech is dead. Look, you need to understand, defamation 202 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 3: has always been part of free speech. You have a 203 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,719 Speaker 3: right to speak freely, but you don't have a right 204 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 3: to defame someone. You don't have a right to say 205 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 3: something that is deliberately false and deliberately defamatory. And it 206 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: has always been the case that you can be held 207 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 3: liable for slander or libel. Slander is saying it saying 208 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: it orally libel is saying it and writing. They're both 209 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 3: species of defamation. If you deliberately say something false. Is 210 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 3: that is harmful to the character or an other. And 211 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: particularly when you're a news organization, there's an expectation that 212 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 3: you have some modicum of integrity, some standards, and I 213 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 3: think in this case, ABC realized they couldn't defend what 214 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: they've done. 215 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 1: So let's talk about this administration coming in, you know, 216 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 1: January twentieth. And Look, we know that there was a 217 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,079 Speaker 1: lot of reporting that was on the term administration back 218 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: in sixteen that was a lie. Russia collusion was a 219 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: great example of that. And then we know that the 220 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: media lied to us about for example, Hunter Biden's laptop. 221 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: That was a lie. 222 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: And there was a lot of things said that we're 223 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 1: not true about people in and around Trump. 224 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 2: Is this a reminder now that we've learned to fight 225 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: it maybe. 226 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: A little bit differently, that we understand the court system 227 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: can be used to hold the media accountable when they 228 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: lie about people in the trum administration. 229 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 2: Is this something that actually could change the game a. 230 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: Little bit perhaps, Look, this is a situation where it 231 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 3: was clear and objective that what what ABC said was wrong, 232 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 3: that it was false, that that that ABC repeatedly said 233 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: a jury had found them liable for rape, and that 234 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 3: was explicitly the opposite of what they've done. I will 235 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 3: say most of the examples you've given, where the media 236 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 3: is saying horrible things about Trump over and over and 237 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 3: over again, it's much harder to prove defamation. It's harder 238 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: to prove that it's objectively false. Like on Russia, Russia, Russia. 239 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 3: They will say, well, look, we were just reporting what 240 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 3: the allegations were. We were reporting what Bob Muller said, 241 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 3: We were reporting what so and so said. You know, 242 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 3: they can hide behind he said, she said. In this instance, 243 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 3: what gave them particular exposure is there was a jury 244 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 3: verdict and ABC simply reported it wrong and did so 245 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 3: somebody knew whether stuff Stephanopolis knew or not, somebody knew. 246 00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 3: And I will say, it is harder to win a 247 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 3: defamation case if you're Donald Trump, or if you're any 248 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 3: public figure, because the Supreme Court the standard for defamation. 249 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: They made it much harder for a public figure to 250 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 3: win a defamation case. And there's a landmark decision from 251 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 3: the Supreme Court called New York Times versus Sullivan. It 252 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: was nineteen sixty four, and what the Court concluded is 253 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 3: that you have to demonstrate quote actual malice before you 254 00:13:56,080 --> 00:14:00,320 Speaker 3: can find defamation if it's against a public figure. And 255 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: here's the quote from the Supreme Court quote. The constitutional 256 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 3: guarantees require, we think, a federal rule that prohibits a 257 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 3: public official from recovering damages for a defamatory falsehood related 258 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 3: to his official conduct unless he proves that the statement 259 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: was made with quote actual malice, that is, with knowledge 260 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 3: that it was false, or with reckless disregard of whether 261 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 3: it was false or not. Now that's a very high 262 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 3: standard to prove. And so as a general matter, if 263 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 3: someone's a public figure. By the way, if someone is 264 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 3: not a public figure, someone's an ordinary citizen, defamation is 265 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,800 Speaker 3: much easier to prove. You don't have to prove actual malice. 266 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: But if you are a public figure, and the president 267 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 3: of the United States is the quintessential public figure, then 268 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 3: you've got to meet that higher threshold. Now there are 269 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: at least two arguments that Trump's legal team would make. 270 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: One was, in this case, the defamation was not relating 271 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 3: to his official conduct. He was not president in the 272 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 3: United States at the time the interaction with Gene Carroll 273 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 3: did or did not occur, and so it was not 274 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: a defamatory falsehood related to his official conduct, but rather 275 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 3: his personal life before he was president of the United States. 276 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 3: So that would certainly be what Trump's lawyers would argue 277 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 3: is that the New York Times versus Sullivan standard doesn't apply. 278 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: But secondly, even if you had to demonstrate actual malice. 279 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: Notice a second ago, when I was saying, when they 280 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 3: were prepping Stephanopoulos for his deposition, they would have to 281 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 3: walk through did he know it was false? Well, I wasn't. 282 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 3: I didn't have in front of me the standard. But 283 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: it turns out I was quoting the standard back at you. 284 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 3: Let me read it again. The Supreme Court defined actual 285 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: malice as quote that is, with knowledge that it was false, 286 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 3: or with reckless disregard of whether it was false or not. 287 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 3: So one or the two. You've got to demonstrate for 288 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 3: actual malice. And the problem I think that that ABC 289 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 3: had is I think it was very clear that they 290 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 3: did it with actual malice. There was certainly a producer 291 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: or somebody knew for a fact it was false to 292 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: say he'd been found liable for rape. It wouldn't surprise 293 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: me if a producer had told Stephanopolis, don't say, liable 294 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 3: for rape, and it wouldn't surprise me if Stephanopolis decided 295 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 3: how I'm going to say it anyway, it's close enough 296 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 3: for government work, and it's much more sensationalistic than to 297 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: report accurately. And I think when they found themselves trying 298 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 3: to defend the lawsuit, that it was going to be 299 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 3: clear that they either knew what they were saying were false, 300 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 3: or at a very minimum, they were engaged in reckless 301 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 3: disregard of whether it was true or false. And so 302 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 3: they were going to get popped and they were going 303 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 3: to lose. And that's why they're apologizing, that's why they're 304 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 3: writing a big, big check. 305 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: And it also made Stepanoplis very vulnerable, right. I think 306 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: that was part of his preserving their anchor here because 307 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: if they went into a deposition and they really got 308 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: to rough him up, that would hurt his brand, and 309 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: that would hurt the brand of ABC, I think as well, 310 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 1: because they still want you to believe that he is 311 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: the most non biased, hardcore news guy at a news. 312 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 3: Well, that's right, And look, Dereck George Stephanopolis worked in 313 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: the Clinton White House. He was a Democrat operative for 314 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: years before he became an ABC journalist, and I have 315 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 3: no doubt that there were going to be lots of 316 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 3: questions from Trump lawyers about, Okay, mister Stephanopolis, what are 317 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 3: your communications with Democrats? What are your communications with the 318 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,960 Speaker 3: White House? What are your communications with Joe Biden and 319 00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris? To what extent are you acting as as 320 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 3: a Democrat attack dog? And it may well be I 321 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 3: don't know this to be the case. I'm sure they 322 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 3: were going to ask those questions, and I suspect that 323 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 3: ABC was very nervous about what kind of answered Stephanopolis 324 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 3: would give under oath and potentially vulnerable and for the 325 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 3: world to know the frequency with which he is explicitly 326 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 3: reading the talking points from the Democrat Party. 327 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 2: One thing's for sure. 328 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: When the library opens up, it's going to be really 329 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: fun to see how they make sure that everyone going 330 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: through the Life Library knows that this part of the 331 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: library is brought to you by ABC News and towards Steppanoflis. 332 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: I cannot wait to see the trolling there because I 333 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: don't believe that Donald Trump is going to let that 334 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 1: opportunity pass. I just I don't believe it. It's going 335 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 1: to be really fun to see what happens. 336 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 3: I think that is a fair prediction. I would not 337 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: wager on the other side of you on that one. 338 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: So this holiday season and I want to take a 339 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,639 Speaker 1: moment because this may be one of the most important 340 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: gifts you ever buy for people that you love. 341 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 2: There is one thing that I want you to know about. 342 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: It is the Burna less lethal pistol launcher, and it 343 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: can save not only your life, but the life of 344 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: someone else is a threat to you. It is a 345 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: center to recognize that personal safety is a year round priority. 346 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 1: Crime trends are spiking, especially during the holidays, making even 347 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: more critical to protect what matters most the holiday season. 348 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: Gift your loved ones the peace of mind with a 349 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,880 Speaker 1: Burner less lethal launcher. Why do I love this because 350 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: it puts more distance between I love one and their attacker. 351 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: I can use this burn A launcher up to sixty 352 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,439 Speaker 1: feet away from someone that's a threat to me. It 353 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: also has kinetic rounds that can incapacitate someone fro up 354 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,560 Speaker 1: to forty minutes. It has these amazing chemical rounds that 355 00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: explode when they hit you, and it's things like pepper 356 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 1: spray in them or tear gas and it's going to 357 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: drop someone instantly. Now this is also great because you 358 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: don't have to deal about with the irreversible consequences of 359 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: deadly force. Now, look, I carry a firearm, but many 360 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: times I'm in places where I can't carry a firearm, 361 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: especially when I'm traveling, and this is a fabulous backup option. 362 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: Maybe you have a daughter that lives on college campus, 363 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: or lives off campus, or lives alone and they're under 364 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: twenty one, or maybe you have someone that just doesn't 365 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,400 Speaker 1: feel comfortable carrying a firearm. This is an amazing gift 366 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: for them. A burno, like I said, can save two lives. 367 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 1: It is a great compliment owning a firearm. And if 368 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: you or your families in a situation where you feel threatened, 369 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 1: you can start with burn and less lethal force. It's 370 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 1: legal in all fifty states. That's something I love because 371 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: I travel. There are no permits or background checks needed. 372 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 1: And not only do I own this, but I bought 373 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: it for a ton of my family members.

Right now, I want to move on to 384 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 1: this other big shocking story, and it is the normalization 385 00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 1: of kill your political enemy, kill anybody that you don't like, 386 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 1: that you think is evil, justify it publicly so we 387 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: can normalize it. We've seen this with the assassination attempts 388 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: on Donald Trump. We have now seen this turn really 389 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: ugly when it comes to the murder of this CEO 390 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: of New York City, the cold blooded murder of this CEO, 391 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: and people have turned him into some sort of hero. 392 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: We now have elected officials, Senator, some that you serve 393 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: with getting in on this, allowing for this almost justification 394 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: of well, we understand why people would want to do this. 395 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 3: Well, And we did an entire podcast on this last 396 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 3: week last Wednesday at Courge. You go back and listen 397 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: to it because I really think what is happening here, 398 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: It is dangerous and it is grotesque. This healthcare CEO 399 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 3: was gunned down in broad daylight in New York City 400 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 3: and this deranged killer walked up and shot him multiple 401 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 3: times in the back. After a two day man hunt, 402 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,399 Speaker 3: he was caught and the left lost their mind. They 403 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 3: have lionized him because and we did a deep dive, 404 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 3: this is because of the cultural Marxism. This is because 405 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 3: their ideology says that that anytime the quote oppressor engages 406 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,479 Speaker 3: in violence, or rather the quote victim engages in violence 407 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 3: against the quote oppressor, that that that violence is justified 408 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 3: and to be celebrated. And we went through the number 409 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 3: of leftists, including Taylor Lorenz, you know, a quote unquote 410 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: journalist for both the Washington Post and the New York Times, 411 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 3: who described how she felt joy, that was her term, 412 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 3: joy at this guy being murdered. 413 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 2: It's sick. 414 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 3: And we talked about as well, how how the view 415 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 3: Joy Bihar unloaded on me because I pointed out that 416 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,679 Speaker 3: these were leftism leftists just celebrating cold blooded murder, and 417 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 3: she said, it's not leftist, it's not us at all. Well, 418 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: Joy Bihar guess what. Your message didn't get to Bernie Sanders, 419 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 3: Your message didn't get to Ao, your message didn't get 420 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 3: to Elizabeth Warren because all of them in the last 421 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 3: few days have been on TV justifying, rationalizing, giving excuses 422 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 3: for the cold blooded murder. I want you to listen 423 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 3: to this montage of comments from them, and then we're 424 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:16,840 Speaker 3: going to talk about it more. 425 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 4: And this is not to say that an act of 426 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 4: violence is justified, but I think for anyone who is 427 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 4: confused or shocked or appalled, they need to understand that 428 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 4: people interpret and feel and experience denied claims as an 429 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 4: act of violence against them. People go homeless over the 430 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 4: financial devastation of a diagnosis that doesn't get addressed, or 431 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 4: you know, the amount that they're going to have to 432 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 4: cover with a surprise bill and things like that. And 433 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 4: when we kind of talk about how systems are violent 434 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 4: in this country in this passage way, our privatized healthcare 435 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 4: system is like that for a huge amount of. 436 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 5: American Yeah, and look, we'll say it over and over. 437 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: Violence is never the answer. 438 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 6: This guy gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO 439 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 6: of United Health. 440 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,720 Speaker 5: But you can only push people so far and. 441 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 2: Then they start to take matters into their own hands. 442 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, Elizabeth Warren obviously understands killing and murder and shooting 443 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 6: somebody in the back is totally unacceptable. But what I 444 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,680 Speaker 6: think has happened in the last few months is that 445 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 6: what you have seen rising up is people's anger at 446 00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 6: a health insurance industry which denies people the healthcare that 447 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 6: they desperately need while they. 448 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: Make billions and billions of dollars in profit. 449 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 1: Anytime you say something's terrible, but it means you're saying, 450 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: but we understand it. It okay, we get it, we 451 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: comprehend it. We see how you got from point A 452 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,640 Speaker 1: to point B. We have video of a cold blooded 453 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,800 Speaker 1: murderer who goes up and assassinates an individual, and they're 454 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: justifying the understanding of why it should be why he 455 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: and others are angry at all these healthcare seeears. This 456 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: is this is dehumanizing people who you don't like, the 457 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: same way they've done it with Trump. 458 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 2: It is so dangerous. 459 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 3: Look at it's exactly the same as with Trump. It's 460 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 3: exactly the same as these leftists have done with Hamas 461 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 3: on October seventh, where they'll all say in obligatory violence 462 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 3: is wrong. But then they immediately start justifying the violence. 463 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 3: And they immediately say, well, yes, the rape and murder 464 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 3: of twelve hundred is rarely said, that's wrong, But but 465 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 3: the Palestinians are oppressed, and we should celebrate the Palestinians 466 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 3: and is it wonderful? And then that's what the leftists do. 467 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: You know, yes, yes, yes, murdering the guy was wrong, 468 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: I suppose, But you know what, every healthcare ceo needs 469 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 3: to be murdered, every CEO needs to be murdered, and 470 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: they immediately their ideology goes to celebrating violence. And let 471 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 3: me just once I would like to see someone on 472 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 3: the left be clear and unequivocal that violence is wrong, 473 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 3: period the end. This murder was grotesque, it was evil, 474 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,200 Speaker 3: It was wrong. There is no justification for it whatsoever. 475 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 3: Even if your political ideology, as you've decided, you hate 476 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 3: this healthcare ceo that you've never met. You don't know 477 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 3: what he's done, you don't know anything about him other 478 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 3: than that that he he was the CEO of a 479 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 3: healthcare company, And because your ideology is so railing against capitalism, 480 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 3: you think murder is a great thing. It's it's as 481 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 3: I said, it's the same. These are the same people 482 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: who buy coffee cups that say, you know, I wish 483 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 3: wish the guy in Butler, Pennsylvania hadn't missed because violence 484 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,359 Speaker 3: is okay to them. These are the same people that 485 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: celebrated the Black Lives Matter ANTIFA riots. This is this 486 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 3: is Kamala Harris raising money to bail people out of 487 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 3: jail who are violent rioters. Because for today's radical left, 488 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 3: the ends justify the means, and violence is okay. And 489 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 3: I want to be absolutely clear, violence is never okay. 490 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 3: Whether I agree with your ideology or not. Nobody should 491 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 3: engage in violence against anyone else and if you do, 492 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 3: if you engage in violence, you should face serious consequences. 493 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,919 Speaker 2: How much do you worry about this becoming normalized. 494 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: I mean, we got over to Donald trump first assassination 495 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: incredibly quick. 496 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 2: It was like, okay, it happened, but he's so live, 497 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 2: let's immediately move on. 498 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 1: Then we have another attempted assassination on him down at 499 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: his golf course and be like, well, I mean it's 500 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. You kind of gotta expect this now. That 501 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: was the demeanor of many on the left. And then 502 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: there was part of the left, that is exactly as 503 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: you described it. They were like, well, the guy should 504 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: have not missed, and it was almost anger at the shooters. 505 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: I think that's the most shocking part to me is 506 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,240 Speaker 1: we are dehumanizing people in a way that is now 507 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: putting other people lives at risk. 508 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 3: Well, and and for too many on the left, politics 509 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,199 Speaker 3: is everything. It is life and death is identity. I mean, 510 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I get to say politics is very 511 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 3: different than twelve years ago when I first got elected. 512 00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 3: It's so nasty and personal. You know, we used to 513 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 3: be able to disagree without without hating each other, without 514 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: demonizing each other, with without cheering at at violence and 515 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,920 Speaker 3: the murder of those you may disagree with. And unfortunately 516 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 3: I don't see a whole lot of public democrats speaking 517 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 3: out against this it. I wish we had more that 518 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 3: had the courage to speak out and say this is 519 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: unequivocally wrong. Look, well, this strange killer, his lawyers are 520 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 3: being paid for by leftists who are celebrating what he did. 521 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the part I think that when I 522 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: look at this, I'm like, if you said this ten 523 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,560 Speaker 1: years ago, fifteen years ago, you'd probably have people calling 524 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 1: for you to resign of all the people we just payed. 525 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: That's not happening. There would have been like reporters saying, hey, 526 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 1: like you need to answer for this these you know, 527 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: these statements that you made, do you want to clarify 528 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: them or clean them up. There's none of that this time. 529 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, yeah, yeah, of course it makes sense. 530 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 3: You know it is. It is the reality of where 531 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 3: we are today. 532 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 2: It's sad. 533 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: I pray for this country and I hope that at 534 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:31,719 Speaker 1: some point people will start to reject this type of 535 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: rhetoric and not normalize it like we are like it 536 00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: like it's happened. So far, there are over eight hundred 537 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: thousand Americans that are members of the USCCA. Why well, 538 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: because of what you receive when you're a member. I've 539 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: had to carry a firearm and I've had to pull 540 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: the trigger, and i had to save my life one night, 541 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: and I'm so thankful that I was able to exercise 542 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: my second member. Writer, I wouldn't be here talking to 543 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 1: you right now. But what I will tell you that 544 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: is even more shocking than that is now our twisted 545 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: legal system, especially with activist das, are wanting to put 546 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: law abiding citizens who exercise their Second Amendment rights just 547 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: like you behind bars because they cannot stand that so 548 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: many of us carry a firearm.

The Democratic Party 573 00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: is trying to figure it out. How do we lose 574 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: this last selection? What caused it was it really our 575 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: policy on migrants and illegal immigrants. And there was a 576 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,760 Speaker 1: very interesting conversation that took place, and people even on 577 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: the leftwik is this aha moment? And I laughed because 578 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: it's something that you actually said on this show a 579 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: couple of years ago. Jessica Tarlove and Katie Curic, we're 580 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: talking about JP governors sending illegal immigrants to other parts 581 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 1: of the country from border states, and I want to 582 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 1: play this for people's and they specifically, we're talking about 583 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: Rod DeSantis in Florida, Greg Abbot in Texas and this 584 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 1: is what they said. 585 00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:10,520 Speaker 2: In reaction on. 586 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 5: The immigration front, there was a tendency amongst Democrats, and 587 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 5: especially Democrats were discussing the issue of people who do 588 00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 5: interviews are part of the media to minimize it. Over 589 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 5: the first two and a half years, when there were 590 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 5: a lot of people coming in here, and I thought 591 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 5: that it was a stunt. You know, when they started 592 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,840 Speaker 5: bussing migrants, they go to markets, vineyards. Yeah, it was 593 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 5: the smartest thing they ever did. 594 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 7: What was interesting because I have a friend who lives 595 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 7: in Florida, and I said, what did you think of 596 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:46,760 Speaker 7: of Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbot taking some of these 597 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 7: immigrants and moving them to Northern States? And she said, 598 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 7: I thought it was great because nobody really was paying 599 00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 7: attention before that. And I do think that this untold 600 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,240 Speaker 7: old story was the strain on social services and communities, 601 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 7: particularly along the border, this influx, huge influx of immigrants 602 00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 7: was having and I think the mainstream media, however you 603 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 7: define that these days, kind of ignored that story to 604 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:17,840 Speaker 7: its peril. 605 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 1: I mean, wow, right, like at least they're figuring it out. 606 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: I don't want to say that all the media is 607 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,440 Speaker 1: figuring out, but it is pretty funny they figured out 608 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:27,800 Speaker 1: the only problem is they were just a couple of 609 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: years too late. 610 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, look at striking to hear Kati Kuric admitting that now, 611 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 3: as you know, this was an idea that I suggested 612 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 3: three years ago. In October of twenty twenty one, I 613 00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 3: introduced a bill called the Surge Act. And the Surge 614 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 3: Act was designed to create thirteen new ports of entry 615 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 3: to send illegal immigrants. And here's here's what my press 616 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: really said at the time. If Washington Democrats had to 617 00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 3: endure even a fraction of the suffering South Texas families, 618 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 3: far farmer, ranchers and small businesses have had to face, 619 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,640 Speaker 3: our nation's immigration laws would be in force. The wall 620 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 3: would be built and remain in Mexico. Policy would be implemented. 621 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 3: And so I introduced legislation to change the points of 622 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 3: entry and add thirteen new places. Block Island, Rhode Island, Greenwich, Connecticut, 623 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 3: Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, Cambridge, Massachusetts, Governor's Island, New York, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Nantucket, Massachusetts, Newport, 624 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 3: Rhode Island, Scarsdale, New York, Palo Alto, California, Yuntville, California, 625 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 3: Saint Helena, California, and North Hero, Vermont, which is where 626 00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:42,880 Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders vacations. And the idea was all the places 627 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 3: where rich liberals sit and sip chardonnay and look down 628 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 3: on people concerned about the open borders. And it was 629 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 3: really striking at the time I introduced this legislation, the 630 00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,719 Speaker 3: leftist media went crazy, and in fact, the county executive 631 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 3: at Martha's Vineyard attacked me, attacked me by name, and 632 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 3: he said Cruise doesn't understand immigration, and he said we 633 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:15,720 Speaker 3: and Martha's Vineyard would welcome illegal immigrants. Well, several months later, 634 00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 3: Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott took me up on what 635 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 3: I had suggested, and they did exactly that. They sent 636 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 3: fifty illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard. And of course that 637 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 3: same county executive within twenty four hours declared an emergency 638 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:33,120 Speaker 3: and ended up deporting the fifty who had been sent. 639 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you we actually covered this on Verdict 640 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 3: several years ago. So I want you to play an 641 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:42,160 Speaker 3: old segment from Verdict. This is actually pre pre the 642 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,720 Speaker 3: great Ben Ferguson. This is back when when Michael Noles 643 00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 3: and I were doing it. 644 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: Our good friend. Yeah, yes, the voice is about to 645 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: change a little bit, right. 646 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,440 Speaker 3: But this is us talking about it three years ago, 647 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,839 Speaker 3: and it had a bit of foreshadowing. 648 00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 2: So give a listen. 649 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:05,760 Speaker 8: They've just sent airplanes full of illegal aliens to Martha's Vineyard. 650 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,000 Speaker 8: And I cheered when I saw the headline, and then 651 00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,839 Speaker 8: I had to think, you know, there's a certain podcast 652 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,879 Speaker 8: hosted by a certain senator from Texas that has been 653 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 8: calling exactly for that for many weeks now, and I 654 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 8: just can't help but wonder if that may have had 655 00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 8: some effect on this policy going into effect. 656 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 3: I was thrilled when the Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, 657 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 3: took me up on the idea and began sending illegal immigrants, 658 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,800 Speaker 3: first to d C, then to New York, then to Chicago. 659 00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,480 Speaker 3: It's had a fantastic event as these Democratic mayors have 660 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 3: lost their minds and declared national emergencies. The mayor of 661 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,200 Speaker 3: d C declared a national emergency or a city emergency 662 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:50,520 Speaker 3: because six thousand illegal immigrants were sent to d C. 663 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 3: Of course, we've had since Joe Biden became president, we 664 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 3: have had four point two million illegal immigrants cross illegally 665 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 3: with Biden as president. 666 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,720 Speaker 8: It is horrific. That's a crazy number. Four point two million. 667 00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,960 Speaker 8: That is a crazy number. It is larger than many 668 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 8: of the states of our Union. I mean, four point 669 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 8: two million. Since Joe Biden put his hand on the 670 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 8: Bible and took the oath of office, that's what's come 671 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,280 Speaker 8: and it continues to get worse. And what is amazing 672 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,759 Speaker 8: about when red state governors, first Texas now Florida are 673 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 8: shipping to blue strongholds is the Democrats, who talk a 674 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,279 Speaker 8: good game immediately flipped tailed. So I want to give 675 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 8: you a quote on the from Martha's Vineyard. When I 676 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 8: introduced the legislation, you had Democrats, democrats, and the House 677 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 8: of Representatives slamm me. But I want to read from 678 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 8: the county commissioner of Martha's Vineyard, Keith Chattenover, and here's 679 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:56,719 Speaker 8: the quote he said about my legislation. I would love 680 00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 8: to see Martha's Vineyard become a haven for new immigrants 681 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 8: in the country. But Senator Cruz has no idea what 682 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,799 Speaker 8: he's talking about regarding a border crisis. He went on 683 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 8: to say, immigrants make our country stronger, as evidenced by 684 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,160 Speaker 8: immigration from Brazil and other countries to the vineyard. And 685 00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 8: he is trying to whip up racial anxieties for political gain, 686 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:23,840 Speaker 8: which is essentially the entire GOP platform. Anyhow, that's before 687 00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 8: they arrived. I want to see if after two, three, four, five, 688 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,479 Speaker 8: six ' ten, one hundred planeloads or bus loads, if 689 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,439 Speaker 8: the county Commissioner has the same view. 690 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: Three years ago you said that, Senator, and now we're 691 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:44,000 Speaker 1: seeing that Democrats are actually saying, man, this was really effective, 692 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,359 Speaker 1: Like this was really really effective. You did this as 693 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,600 Speaker 1: stopped the Surge Act in October twenty twenty one. 694 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 3: And by the way, three years ago, notice that number 695 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,800 Speaker 3: four point two million illegal immigrants were now over twelve million. 696 00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 3: What has happened at our southern border is an experiment 697 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 3: in radicalism that has never been tried in the United 698 00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 3: States of America. Our country is struggling the suffering that 699 00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 3: has occurred, and I will say the actual sending of 700 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,919 Speaker 3: planeloads and bus loads of illegal immigrants to Blue strongholds. 701 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:23,600 Speaker 3: It showed the complete and utter hypocrisy as every Democrat mayor, 702 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,880 Speaker 3: every Democrat governor, every Democrat county executive completely demonstrated everything 703 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,040 Speaker 3: they'd been saying was a lie, and it broke through 704 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 3: the media freeze out in a way nothing else did. 705 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 3: I think Katie Kirk's right that that single action of 706 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 3: demonstrating Democrat hypocrisy on this issue could well have decided 707 00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 3: the presidential election last month. 708 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,359 Speaker 1: Make sure you share a podcast wherever you can on 709 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,000 Speaker 1: social media.
