WEBVTT - Mayorkas Impeachment Trial TODAY-the Inside Story & Everything You Need to Know 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:02.120 Welcome. 0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:05.720 It is verdict with center, Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, Senator. 0:00:05.840 --> 0:00:10.799 It was a very very lively day in the Senate 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:14.480 and it deals with the Majorcus impeachment. Get everybody up 0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:16.160 to speed on what we're going to be seeing over 0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:16.720 the next day. 0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.160 Well, this week is an historic week in the United 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:25.200 States Senate. Yesterday, on Tuesday, the House of Representatives delivered 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:29.280 articles of impeachment for Alejandro Majorcas to the Senate. This 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:32.080 is only the twenty second time in our nation's history 0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:35.600 that articles of impeachment have been delivered to the Senate. Today, 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.159 on Wednesday, the Senate will commence the hearing at one 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:41.560 pm to day. Under the Senate rules, we will convene, 0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:44.520 we will be sworn in as jurors in the trial. 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:46.960 I expect a battle. 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:50.040 I expect some fireworks, and sadly, I expect the Democrats 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.400 to try to utterly dodge the issue and throw it 0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:56.320 out and refuse to hold a trial. But today is 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.040 going to be a big battle, because this is going 0:00:58.120 --> 0:01:01.400 to be all about the Democrats being willing to throw 0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:05.840 the Constitution in the trash in order to avoid any 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.520 national attention on the disaster that is playing out on 0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.039 our southern border and in order to avoid any accountability 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.959 for their responsibility for the lives that are being lost 0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.680 because of Joe Biden and the Democrats' open borders. 0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:22.080 Democratic leadership said they were hoping this would take about 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:23.800 a day. I want to get your take on how 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:25.240 this is going to play out and will it be 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.440 just a quote day trial and that is it. But 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:29.960 first let me tell you about our friends over at 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:33.120 Patriot Mobile. If you have a cell phone, and about 0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:36.000 nine nine percent of you do, you want to make 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.119 sure you know where your money's going when you pay 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.759 your bill. You may not realize this, but with Big 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:47.680 Mobile you are supporting hardcore leftist causes organizations including Planned Parenthood. 0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.360 That's right, when you pay your bill, Big Mobile is 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:54.120 giving big donations and they've been doing this now for decades. 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.080 That is the reason why I want you to know 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.720 about Patriot Mobile. Now here's the best part. I've switched 0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.280 and I can tell you my coverage perfect Why because 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:04.600 I use the same exact cell towers I was using before. 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.720 With Big Mobile, yeah, nothing changes for you. You get 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.200 the same service you're accustomed to. But this is the 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.800 best part. Every time you use your phone, every time 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.800 you send a text, and every time you pay that bill, 0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:19.240 you are actually standing with other conservatives. And when you 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.480 pay that bill, about five percent of that bill every 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:26.600 month actually goes back to support your rights to free speech, 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:31.920 really just freedom, the Second Amendment, and supporting conservative candidates 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:35.240 and causes. They also stand with the rights of unborn children, 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.920 with major donations going to right to life organizations. That's 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.079 why I love Patriot Mobile and I want you to 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:42.799 check them out. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.160 Nine to seven to two Patriots are number. 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.399 When you call them, use a promo code verdict, you're 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.520 gonna get free activation nine to seven to two Patriot. Now, 0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.840 if you've got a business or a small business, you 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.680 can call them and switch all of your lines. It's easy. 0:02:55.680 --> 0:03:00.400 One hundred percent US based customer service team makes switching easy. 0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:04.480 Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict.

There was a prediction that came 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.120 from the Democrats. They made it very queer. Chuck Schumer said, Hey, 0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:17.840 we think we can get done with this thing and 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:18.600 maybe a day. 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.160 Is that a possibility now, yes? 0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:21.440 Or no? 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.280 Well, sadly yes, and in fact, I would say it's 0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.280 likely right now. So let me describe what happened yesterday 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:33.280 on Tuesday and what's likely happened today. So yesterday, on Tuesday, 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.880 at about two point thirty in the afternoon, the House 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.840 Managers arrived at the Senate. When they did, virtually every 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.520 Senator was sitting at their desks on the Senate floor. 0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:47.320 The House managers came in. Under the Senate rules, so 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.480 the Senate exists in three different states. One is considering 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:55.320 the legislative calendar, one is considering the executive calendar, which 0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:59.320 is nominations, and the third is considering impeachment. Those are 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:03.160 the only three states of the Senate. Whenever articles of 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.720 impeachment arrive, there are special rules that apply to impeachment 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:11.240 that automatically kick in. So we knew that the articles 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.240 of impeachment were being delivered. And so Patty Murray, who 0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.440 is the President pro tem, she is the senior Democrat. 0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.480 The Democrats are in the majority, so she's the President 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.120 pro tem. She was presiding. And what happened was the 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.480 House Clerk came in and said, the House managers are 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:30.120 here to present articles of impeachment and the Speaker pro 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.840 Tem Patty Murray said, they shall be welcomed on the floor. 0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.720 They came onto the floor and you had about a 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.080 dozen House managers. They're all House members who were selected 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.400 to present the case, to try the case. 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.880 Mark Green is the leader. 0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:48.599 Of the House managers. Mark Green is the one who 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:52.320 presided over the committee that considered the impeachment. Mark Green 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.360 is from Tennessee. He's a good friend. He's a West 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.960 Point graduate, he's an Army veteran. He's a terrific guy. 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.560 And under the the Senate rules, the first step is 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.320 that he reads the articles of impeachment. The articles of 0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:08.200 impeachment are they are printed out, They're a document that's 0:05:08.240 --> 0:05:10.440 actually what was voted out of the House. 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.400 And they are. 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:17.720 What are they nineteen pages long? So he read those 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.400 nineteen pages on the floor of the Senate. That took 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.880 probably thirty five to forty minutes. Virtually every senator sat 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:29.640 there listening, the press sat there listening. It was important 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:31.320 to walk through the facts. And one of the things 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.320 I want to do on this podcast is read through 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.240 some of the facts that were laid out in the 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.720 articles of impeachment that Mark Green read. We all sat 0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:42.640 there and just listened. And the Democrats had to listen 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.800 to the facts to the disaster of Biden's open border. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:49.960 They had to listen to that be presented. That was 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:54.159 the first step. The next step is that under the 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:58.760 Senate rules of impeachment, on Wednesday today, the Senate will 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.960 come in into set at one pm as a court 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.120 of impeachment. The very first thing that will happen is 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:09.400 we will all be sworn in as jurors. We will 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:15.360 sign a book that signs that we are participating as jurors. Now, 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.200 what would ordinarily happen. So this has happened twenty two 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.679 times in our nation's history. The other twenty one times, 0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.120 here's what would happen. The Senate would consider and would 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:30.520 adopt a resolution laying out a trial schedule. That's ordinarily 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.360 how this happens. And you lay out a schedule, Okay, 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:35.760 the House will present their case on xt date. They 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.440 will have why hours. It will go this way. Then 0:06:39.480 --> 0:06:42.719 the defense will present their case. They will have the 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:45.640 following hours. Here are the motions that will be in order. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.440 It's very much like if you're in a trial court, 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.400 if you're litigating a case, you'll often have a scheduling 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.360 order at the front end. That's typically the first step. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.280 In this instance, we are anticipating that's not going to 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.119 happen because the Democrats, Chuck Schumer has decided he does 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:05.719 not want to have a trial. He desperately wants to 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.600 avoid a trial, and he doesn't want the House managers 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:13.640 to present any evidence. Schumer and the Democrats are terrified 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.960 of the evidence of the suffering of the people who've died, 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:21.280 of the people, of the children who've been sexually assaulted, 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.800 of the women who've been sexually assaulted, of the fentanyl deaths, 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.920 and the drug overdose deaths. He doesn't want that evidence 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:33.200 to put before the American people. Understand, the Democrats have 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.520 no defense on this. They don't have a counter argument. 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:39.720 They don't have an alternative narrative on almost every other issue. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.360 If I'm in the Senate and I lay out an 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:47.040 argument for lower taxes, the Democrats will present their counter argument, No, no, no, 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.320 we need higher taxes. 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:49.880 Stick it to the rich, make them pay more. 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:53.360 If we're discussing the issue of abortion and I talk 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:57.240 about the importance of protecting life, they'll step in and say, no, no, no, 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.360 we must have abortions everywhere. We love them all. Almost 0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:05.880 every issue they have a counter argument. What is remarkable, Ben, 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:07.920 is they do not have a counter argument on the 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.560 open borders. They don't dispute any of the facts. Their 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.840 entire strategy is simple, hide from the facts because they 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.840 are indefensible, and so they're counting on the corporate media 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.760 covering up the facts. They're counting on the fact that 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:28.360 CNN ignores the border crisis, ABC ignores the border crisis, CBSNBC, 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:33.480 MSNBC ignore the border crisis, and their entire strategy is 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:37.240 don't talk about it, pretend it doesn't exist, and count 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.640 on the media that are shameless shills for the Democrats 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:45.439 to cover it up. As a result, I fully expect 0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:48.720 tomorrow Chuck Schumer intends to file either a motion to 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:52.080 table or a motion to dismiss. We don't know which 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.280 one yet, but when he does so, right now, the 0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.680 expectation is that every single Democrat will vote with him. 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.959 I hope they don't, and I have been leading the fight. 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:06.840 We had a long press conference on Tuesday with multiple Senators, 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.520 with multiple of the House managers, trying to put heat 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.040 on the Democrats to press them to fulfill their constitutional 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.680 obligation to hold a trial. But right now, Schumer's intention 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.120 he doesn't want a trial, he doesn't want any evidence. 0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.480 He wants to make this go away because he's terrified 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:21.320 of the issue. 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:24.840 So how do they proceed so quickly to just shut 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.040 it down? I mean, you mentioned and I want people 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:28.600 to understand what it would normally look like you were 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.880 talking about the House would be presenting their evidence if 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:35.040 this went the traditional way. When you say the House 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:38.160 presents their evidence, who actually does that? How would that 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.160 normally look and so paint that picture real quick. 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:45.240 Yeah, So twenty one times the House has delivered articles 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.960 of impeachment to this country to the Senate before Tuesday, 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.360 in all twenty one of those times. In four of 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.960 them the Senate lacked jurisdiction. The very first one, William Blount, 0:09:57.000 --> 0:10:00.720 was a Senator, and the Senate concluded right that under 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.359 the Constitution, impeachment only lies against either executive branch. 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.320 Officials or judicial branch officials. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:11.040 In other words, impeachment you can remove someone the president, 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.319 you can remove a cabinet member, you can remove a judge. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.000 But the Senate concluded you cannot remove a member of Congress. 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.440 That it's only each body. The Senate can throw senators out, 0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:24.560 the House can throw House members out, but impeachment's not 0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:27.920 a mechanism that applies to members of Congress. That was 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.679 the first impeachment. After that, there were three other instances 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.000 where the person who was impeached either died or resigned 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.320 from office, but they weren't in office, and so the 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.240 Senate concluded, Okay, they're out of office, we're done. There's 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.679 nothing to do here. So those four cases, the Senate 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:48.320 lacked jurisdiction. In one hundred percent of the instances where 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:51.800 the individual remained in office and the Senate had jurisdiction, 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.400 what the Senate did is conducted a trial. They hurt evidence, 0:10:56.440 --> 0:10:59.000 and the way it proceeds is the House managers present 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.840 the evidence. Actually, the Senate sit there silently. We're not 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.440 allowed to engage, unlike a hearing, unlike an argument on 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.880 the floor, we're not allowed to speak. We sit there 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.360 and listen. Both of the Trump impeachments, you'll recall, Verdict 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:15.079 got started the first night of the first Trump impeachment. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:20.840 That's why this podcast was born to explain what was happening. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:24.560 But the way it operates in the Trump impeachments. For example, 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:28.760 I couldn't speak, no other senator could speak. We're jurors, 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.360 although actually we're not just jurors. We're also we decide 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:36.280 the law as well, and we're entitled to take political considerations. 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.720 We're entitled to take any considerations we want. So it's 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.320 not it's not a jury in the ordinary sense. And actually, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:46.360 in the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton, Tom Harkin, a 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.960 Democrat from Iowa, actually stood up and raised a point 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.679 of order and had Chief Justice William Renquist clarify that 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:57.520 senators are not jurors in the purest sense of the word. 0:11:57.559 --> 0:12:01.800 But rather they are granted by the Constitution the responsibility 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.240 and the authority to adjudicate and to consider matters of 0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:08.760 fact and law and consider every other factor. So you know, look, 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.080 senators have connections to the people being impeached in ways 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.840 that no juror ever would. So, for example, for President's 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:19.120 being impeached, all the senators know the president. Half the 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.120 senators are of the party the president half or not. 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.920 In a jury, you could never have that. You could 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:28.440 never have people who know the criminal defendant and have 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:32.120 a relationship with them. But the framers established something different 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.800 for impeachment. They established that it would be the Senate 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.000 that adjudicates it. But the way it ordinarily plays out 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.640 is the House Managers, and that's a group of typically 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.840 about a dozen House members that are selected by the 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.080 House to present the evidence. They present the evidence, and 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:49.760 we listen to it. 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.640 So, Senator, the next question that some of people are 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.400 going to ask is is how on earth do we 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:00.360 feel like we're living in these times where we have 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:04.440 an open border. We're witnessing cities they're saying they're going 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:08.440 bankrupt and they're taking away from American citizens or tax 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.200 dollars giving them to I legal immigrants. We have the 0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:13.960 Fetnah crisis coming across the southern border, and we clearly 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:17.360 have an administration that is not abiding by the laws 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.520 that are already on the book, specifically my Orcis, and 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:23.600 it seems by based on what you're saying, Majorcis is 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:27.800 probably sitting around a table laughing right now at this 0:13:27.880 --> 0:13:29.160 because he knows he's safe. 0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:32.319 Well, he knows that the Democrats are going to rubber 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:35.240 stamp everything he's doing, because every Democrat in the Senate 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:38.760 supports these open borders. Understand, this is not just Joe Biden. 0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.079 This is not just Kamala Harris, this is Chuck Schumer, 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.200 this is every single Democrat, this is the entire house. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:48.680 They all, every one of the Democrats supports this invasion. 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.960 And so Schumer wants to make this go away quickly. 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:55.920 He wants no attention, he wants no press, he wants 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.720 none of the facts. And I will say, watching the 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.120 House present the article of impeachment, so I'm going to 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.760 read some of the articles of impeachment that were read 0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:05.720 on the Senate floor. And the reason I'm going to 0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.240 is because these facts were laid out and it was 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:13.199 interesting watching the Democrat senators listen to it. So, for example, 0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.480 here's one portion, so that the articles of impeachment go 0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:20.840 through all the different statues, the statutes that may Orcus defied. 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:25.120 So for example, here's a quote Alejandro Mayorcus willfully refuse 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.920 to comply with the detention mandate set forth in section 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:30.960 two thirty five B one B two of such Act, 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.760 requiring that an alien who's placed in expedited removal proceedings 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.480 and determined to have a credible fear of persecution quote 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:41.760 shall be detained for further consideration of the application for 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:46.320 asylum shall be detained. It's mandatory terms over and over again. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:50.600 They go through all sorts of Section two thirty six 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:54.240 CE of the Act, which requires that a criminal alien 0:14:54.280 --> 0:14:57.560 who is inadmissible or deportable on certain criminal and terrorism 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:01.880 related grounds, quote, shall be taken into custody when the 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:06.160 alien is released from law enforcement. Aljandra Mayorcus issued Guidelines 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.720 for the Enforcement of civil Immigration Laws, which instructs the 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:12.520 Department of Homeland Security that the fact that an individual 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:15.520 is removable a removable non citizen should not alone be 0:15:15.560 --> 0:15:18.200 the basis of an enforcement action against them, and that 0:15:18.320 --> 0:15:21.160 DHS personnel should not rely on the fact of a 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:25.360 conviction alone that's directly violating federal law. It goes through 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:29.320 instance after instance after instance of federal law federal statutes 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:35.320 that Majorcis has defied. Aljandro Majorcis. This is quoting more 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.080 from it. Aljandro Mayorcus willfully exceeded his release authority set 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:41.240 force in section two thirty six A of such Act 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.120 that permits, in certain circumstances, the release of aliens arrested 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:49.760 on administrative warrant, in that he released aliens arrested without 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:55.120 a warrant despite being subject separate applicable mandatory detention requirements, 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.800 over and over and over again. All right, here's some 0:15:57.880 --> 0:16:01.680 basic stats that it lays out during fiscal year twenty 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.600 seventeen through twenty twenty. In other words, the Trump administration, 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:08.400 an average about five hundred and ninety thousand aliens each 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:11.640 fiscal year were encountered as inadmissible aliens at ports of 0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.040 entry or on the Southwest border, apprehended in between. 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:16.280 Ports of entry. 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:20.080 During Alijandro Mayorcus's tenure in office, the number of skyrocketed, 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.920 so it was five hundred ninety thousand a year first year. 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.280 It's skyrocketed to one point four million and fiscal year 0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.360 twenty twenty one, and then to two point three million 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:33.040 in fiscal year twenty twenty two, and then to two 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:37.760 point four million in fiscal year twenty twenty three, those numbers. 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:42.120 It goes on to talk about New York City and 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.600 it says, for instance, this is quoting for instance, twenty 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.680 twenty two, more than one hundred and fifty thousand migrants 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:50.320 have gone through New York City's shelter intake system. Indeed, 0:16:50.320 --> 0:16:52.480 the Mayor of New York City has said that quote, 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.360 we are past our breaking point and that quote this 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.680 issue will destroy New York City. In fiscal year twenty 0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:03.240 twenty three, New York City spent one billion, four hundred 0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:08.000 and fifty million addressing Alojandro Mayorcis's migrant crisis, and city 0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:12.400 officials fear it will spend another twelve billion dollars over 0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:17.760 the following three years, causing painful budget cuts to important 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:22.520 city services. If you look at it, goes on to say, 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:27.560 for example, during a Mayorcus's tenure Secretary of Homeland Security, 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:30.119 the US Border Patrol has encountered an increasing number of 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.520 aliens on the terrorist watch list. In the fiscal years 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.800 twenty seventeen through twenty twenty. In other words, the Trump 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:41.639 administration combined eleven non citizens on the terrorist watch list 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:44.399 were caught attempting to cross the Southwest border. So, in 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.639 other words, in four years, a total of eleven people 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:51.359 on the terror watch list crossed. That number increased to 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:56.400 fifteen in the fiscal year twenty twenty one, ninety eight 0:17:57.119 --> 0:18:01.320 in fiscal year twenty twenty two, one hundred and sixty 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:04.680 nine in fiscal year twenty twenty three, and forty nine 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.360 so far in fiscal year twenty twenty four. Those numbers 0:18:08.400 --> 0:18:10.639 are staggery, and I think it was important to see 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.720 them read and presented on the Senate floor and to 0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:15.800 watch every Senate Democrat have to listen to them. 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.160 When you say it was interesting to see their reaction. 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:24.520 Was it a reaction of let's hurry up and get 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:27.040 through this. Was it a reaction from some that they 0:18:27.040 --> 0:18:29.600 didn't even know this, or was it the reaction of 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:32.640 this is not my problem, I don't care. 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:35.520 I mean, what did the room look like? And were 0:18:35.560 --> 0:18:36.720 there different reactions? 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.639 So it was the latter. The Democrats were all staring ahead, 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.719 they didn't care at all. They were enduring it. They 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.199 were sitting there for appearances. You know what was the 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:45.280 most revealing reaction? 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:46.280 What was that? 0:18:46.960 --> 0:18:52.240 John Tester? So, John Tester, everyone recognizes is almost certainly 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:56.359 the most vulnerable Democrat on the ballot in November. John 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:58.960 Tester is the senator from Montana. Montana's going to vote 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.440 for Donald Trump. He's Montana's gonna vote for Donald Trump 0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:05.359 by double digits. John Tester gets re elected every six 0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:09.359 years because he looks like a good old boy Montana farmer. 0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.720 He's a big old guy with a flat top haircut, 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.359 and you figure he's got to be reasonable middle of 0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:14.800 the road. 0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:17.600 He votes exactly like Chuck Schumer. He's hard left. 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:20.840 If Tester had a different haircut, he would never have 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.720 gotten elected in Montana. But because he's got a flat 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.800 top haircut, he gets elected. Tester knows he's got a 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.920 heck of a fight. What was interesting is Tester was 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.520 on the Senate floor before the house managers arrived. As 0:19:32.560 --> 0:19:36.840 soon as the house managers arrived, Tester disappeared. Almost every 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:39.320 single Democrat were sitting in their seats. Tester was gone. 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.560 I assume he went to the cloak room. He ran away. 0:19:42.000 --> 0:19:44.960 He's like, oh my goodness, I cannot be on the 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:45.719 floor to hear this. 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:47.439 So he was gone. His seat was empty. 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:51.760 The house managers read the articles of impeachment. It takes, 0:19:51.800 --> 0:19:53.720 as I said, thirty or forty minutes. We all sat 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.960 there listening. And then as soon as the house manager's 0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:58.679 finished and they left, you know who was back on 0:19:58.720 --> 0:19:59.359 the Senate floor. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:01.080 That John Tester. 0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:04.879 Wow, he I guess was sitting back in the cloakroom. 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.040 I don't know if he was on his phone playing 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.080 video games. I don't know what he was doing, but 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:11.040 he was not willing to sit on the Senate floor 0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:12.840 and listen to it. And by the way, when he 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:14.840 goes back to Montana, he says, I care so much 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.120 about illegal immigration. We've got to secure the board. It's 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:19.960 a problem. And every word he's saying is not true, 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.600 because today he intends to vote to throw the damn 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:26.520 thing out to say, I don't want to hear a trial. 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:28.760 I don't want to hear any evidence. I don't want 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:32.680 to know what's going on. It's not even like an 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:36.560 Ostrich sticking his head in the sand, at least stays 0:20:36.600 --> 0:20:39.840 in the room. He's an Ostrich who runs his ass 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:43.480 out of there. And it's emblematic. Why does Chuck Schumer 0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.760 want to avoid a trial because he's desperate to protect 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:53.240 the Democrat senators on the ballot from the consequences from 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:58.320 the deaths and suffering and people who are suffering misery 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.640 because of their open border politics and policies which they 0:21:02.680 --> 0:21:07.680 intend to continue. And Schumer, this is all about political camouflage. 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:10.280 I want to talk to you about our friends over 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:13.120 at AMOS Squared.
