1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: Democrats doubling down on the idea that Donald Trump has 2 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,120 Speaker 1: gone rogue insane in taking over control of police law 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: enforcement in Washingt d C. Now, to be clear, this 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,080 Speaker 1: is not something that he can do in other states 5 00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: or cities without there being some sort of cooperation. 6 00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: DC's very different. We all know that. 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: The media, however, is trying to say that Donald Trump's 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: about to just take over everywhere and anywhere he wants. 9 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: That is not exactly what the President's trying to do 10 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,240 Speaker 1: at all. In fact, Donald Trump did say this about 11 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,400 Speaker 1: other cities that are paying attention to d C. 12 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,160 Speaker 3: We're going to have a tremendous success in what we're doing. 13 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 3: Other cities are hopefully watching this. They're all watching, just 14 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 3: like everyone's watching here. They're all watching, and maybe they'll 15 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 3: self clean up and maybe they'll self do this and 16 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 3: get rid of the cash list bail thing and all 17 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 3: of the things that caused the problem. I mean, if 18 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,319 Speaker 3: you go back, this whole thing with cash list bail 19 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: is a disaster. So many problems came that we we 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 3: never had before. So they're watching us today, and if 21 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 3: they don't learn their lesson, if they haven't studied us properly, 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 3: because we're going to be very successful. I have a 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: zero doubt about that. It's going to be say, a 24 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 3: question of will would be really fast. 25 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: Like the border. 26 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: You notice the President clearly is playing chess. Why is 27 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 1: he talking the way he is about all of this. 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: He's doing it because he's sending a message that it's 29 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: going to prove a point that having adequate law enforcement, 30 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: backing that law enforcement and allowing them to do their 31 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: job is how you clean up a city. And Washington, 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: d C. Is the nation's capital. It should be the 33 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: safest city in all of America. Stephen Miller making also 34 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: this point at the White House about how dangerous DC is, 35 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: comparing it to Bagdad in Iraq. 36 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 4: The President has been very clear that he's going to 37 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 4: take the action necessary to secure the city of Washington 38 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 4: for the people who live here, for all the American 39 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 4: people and all who visit here is our capital city. 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: It is more violent than Baghdad. 41 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 4: It is more violent than parts of Ethiopia and parts 42 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 4: of many of the most dangerous places. 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: In the world. It's really shocking. 44 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 4: If you should look at the graph that has been 45 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 4: shown comparing parts of some of the most dangerous field 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,079 Speaker 4: states in the world. Compared to d C, DC is 47 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: more violent, and so he's going to do what's necessary 48 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 4: to make sure our nation's capital is safe for all Americans. 49 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 1: By the way, fact check it. Go ahead, check and 50 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: see if Washington, d C. Is more violent than Baghdad. 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 1: The answer will be yes. This is what democrats are 52 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 1: hoping you will not believe, hoping that you will just 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: look the other way and not see the reality of 54 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: exactly what is happening right now now. The President also 55 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: making it clear that because the federal government is now 56 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: in control of Washington, d C, it also denies DC 57 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: their sanctuary city status. Tom Homan saying that on Fox 58 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: News Channel, where now this allows for him to work 59 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: with Ice and also to work to get illegal immigrant 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: criminals out of the city. 61 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 5: Quickly, let me ask you about the DC situation, and 62 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 5: does the fact that there's National Guard there Now it's 63 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 5: a sanctuary city like sanctuary cities across the country, but 64 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 5: it's unique in that it has federal control and now 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 5: you've got National Guard on the ground side by side 66 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 5: with Ice. Does that combination basically negate the sanctuary city 67 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 5: status in Washington, d C. At least for these thirty 68 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 5: days in terms of what you can do there. 69 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 6: Tom, Yes, I think DC under fire. The control is 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 6: now going to be a sanctuary city. We're working with 71 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 6: the police hand in hand. We encounter a criminal illegal 72 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 6: alien that we turned over ice, and that's where should be. 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not saying every illegal alien in DC 74 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 6: is a criminal, but many are. So these are people 75 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 6: won't focus on it. Illegal alien criminal safety threat in 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 6: DC is not going to be protected. There's no sanctuary 77 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 6: for these people in the city of DC. 78 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 2: There is no sanctuary for these people in DC. 79 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: So you look at all of this, And now we're 80 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: hearing from the former Capitol Police Chief Stephen Son, who said, 81 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: the bigger picture here shows that the media and Democrats 82 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: are actually lying. Democrats are trying to convince you that Washington, 83 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: d C. Is a very safe place, that there's not 84 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 1: a crime issue, and that crime is falling drastically, and 85 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: Donald Trump is just trying to grandstand over what Democrats 86 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: have somehow done to make Washington, DC safe. Yes, it's absurd, 87 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 1: but that's what they're trying to sell. Now, the bigger 88 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: picture shows Seek's crime is actually on the rise. That's 89 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: what the former Capitol Police chief said during an interview today, 90 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 1: the day after President Trump announced he's placing the DC 91 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control and activating the 92 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 1: National Guard to restore law and order to the nation's capital. 93 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: Sun explained that there are several agencies working together to 94 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: secure DC and highlighted that Trump is a very very 95 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: detailed oriented person, saying, quote, in case people don't know that, 96 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: it is not uncommon for him to be driving in 97 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: a motor kid and realize, hey, street lights are out, 98 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: or look at that, or look at that graffiti and 99 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: make a notification on it. This is how detail oriented 100 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: the President actually is. So for him to see some 101 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 1: of the crime that's happening in some of the assaults 102 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: that are occurring. 103 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: And Navy Yard is. 104 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: Just six blocks south of the Capitol, short distance from 105 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: the White House, it's a big area to see these 106 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: gangs of youth kind of taking it over. It doesn't 107 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: surprise me that they're now going to pull these federal 108 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: resources together and form a task force, explaining, Look, we've 109 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: done this before, saying quote, we did this in the 110 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 1: early nineteen nineties when I was with DC Police. We 111 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: were able to drive down homicide rates when the chief. 112 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: When heir was chief, think that was about twenty ten, 113 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, we had a homicide rate that was maybe 114 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: right around one hundred, one hundred and seventy year. Now 115 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three you got two hundred and seventy four homicides, 116 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: so you had a significant increase. He said, this is 117 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: the big problem, and this is why the present is 118 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: having to do what he's doing now. So when people 119 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,039 Speaker 1: talk about, oh, hey, there's a big drop, as the 120 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: DC mayor has tried to claim that the number of 121 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 1: homicides is somehow down in twenty four from twenty three 122 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: and so therefore everything's fine. That's what the DC narrative 123 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: has been pushed by the mayor Bowser. It doesn't add 124 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: up with reality, he said, quote so when people talk about, 125 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: oh there's a big drop, there's a drop from twenty 126 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: three to twenty four, but you look at the overall rate, 127 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: it's still significant double the number of murders that we 128 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: had in twenty ten. That's what the former police chief 129 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: of DC pointed out. Explain that there used to be 130 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: a time when the crime really stated in certain neighborhoods. 131 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: Now it's everywhere. Now it's all throughout the city. So 132 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 1: they're going to deploy into these areas and really focus 133 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: focus on crime, focus on your most violent offenders, your 134 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: repeat offenders. He continued, urging officials to zero in on 135 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: juvenile crime, which Democrats have in essence, sanction those under 136 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: eighteen to do whatever they want. Quote, They've always historically 137 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: been very soft on punishment on juvenile crime, and the 138 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: concern with it is if you don't begin to address 139 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: behavior at a young age, it's just going to get worse. 140 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: Emphasizing that the DC homicide rate is five to six 141 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: times that of any other major city in the United 142 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: States of America, which brings us back to the big 143 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: point about why is the mayor of DC fighting this, Well, 144 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: it's pretty simple. She hates Donald Trump and she doesn't 145 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: want to be seen as someone that actually is a failure. 146 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: That's why the DC mayor Bowser is in denial. Trump's 147 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: plan to combat crime in our city is quote unsettling 148 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 1: and unprecedented. She said, Well, the Democratic mayor is in 149 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: denial about what has happened under her watch in a 150 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: crime ridden city, asserting that President Trump's view of the 151 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: nation's capitalists quote shaped by his COVID era experience during 152 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: his first term, and claiming that crime has already been 153 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 1: robustly addressed. Deeming Trump's actions, as I mentioned, unsettling and unprecedented. 154 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: Bowser kicked off the press conference and the positive elements 155 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 1: of DC, repeatedly calling it quote beautiful Washington, DC is 156 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: a beautiful city, a magnificent city, possibly saying these words 157 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: to try to mock Donald Trump. We're home to seven 158 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: hundred thousand Washington Washington residents. We welcome millions of visitors 159 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: every year from around our nation, around the world. We 160 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: have the nation's premier park system, she claims, fantastic public schools. 161 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 2: The data doesn't back that up, by the way. 162 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: And then she says, including a free and row US 163 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: pre K program starting at age three. We have a 164 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: tremendous public transportation system. She went on to brag, which, 165 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: by the way, people are now afraid to use quote. 166 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: It's very important to me that for all who live 167 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: here and visit here, just know how beautiful our city 168 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: is and how proud we are of all the accomplishments here, 169 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: reminding listeners of the quote basics, saying quote, we're unique 170 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: in other ways as well, though We pay taxes. In fact, 171 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: we pay more than most states per capita. We're not 172 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: a state. We don't control the DC National Guard, we 173 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: don't have siners or full autonomy. Limited home rule gives 174 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 1: the federal government the ability to intrude on our autonomy 175 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 1: in many ways, she said, before delving into Trump's move 176 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: to address crime in the city. I've seen this before, 177 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: I've said it before, and I'll repeat it. I believe 178 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: that President Trump's view of DC's shaped by his COVID 179 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: era experience during his first term. And it's true that 180 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: those were more challenging times really to some issues. Is 181 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: also true that we experienced a crime spike post COVID, 182 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: but we worked quickly to put laws in place and 183 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: tactics that got violent offenders off our streets and gave 184 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: our police officers more tools, which is why we've seen 185 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: a huge decrease in crime. So is there actually a 186 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: huge decrease in crime? The answer is also no. She's 187 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: lying to you, Yet she continues to say, quote because 188 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: of those efforts, we've been able to reverse the twenty 189 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 1: twenty three crime spike this year alone, bragging the DC 190 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,199 Speaker 1: is at a thirty year violent crime low. 191 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 2: Well, Yeah, that may be true. 192 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: It's still way more violent than the majority of American cities, 193 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 1: and you're way more likely to be killed there than 194 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: even in Baghdad. And that is exactly why Donald Trump said, 195 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: I'm taking over. I'm not waiting on you to do 196 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: your job you should have done a long time ago. 197 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: The nation's capital has been overtaken by violent gangs, bloodthirsty criminals, 198 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,559 Speaker 1: roathing mobs of wild youth, drugged out many acts, and 199 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: homeless people. And we're not going to let it happen anymore, 200 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: Trump said during his press conference, yet again putting law 201 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: abiding citizens first.

Law and order returning state by 237 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: state and states now working with the Trump administration and 238 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: ICE officials. Specifically, we now have three states that have 239 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: signed a new agreement with ICE for quote expanded immigration 240 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: enforcement operations. These three states include West Virginia, South Dakota, 241 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: and Arkansas, all signing the agreements with the Department of 242 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: Own Securities, US Immigration Customs Enforcement to specifically, they say, 243 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: ramp up immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions. West Virginia was 244 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: the first one. The governor there, Patrick Morsey, announced a 245 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: robust collaboration under Section two eight seven G of the 246 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 1: Immigration and Nationality Act. This agreement enlists the West Virginia 247 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 1: State Police, Corrections and Rehabilitation Division and the National Guard 248 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: to assist ICE in immigration enforcement. Translation, if you're an 249 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: legal immigrant, you don't want to be in West Virginia 250 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: right now now. Under this task force, structure, officers can 251 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: quote interrogate anyone suspected of being an undocumented immigrant. Number 252 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: two process immigration violations for individuals already rested for other offenses. 253 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: Three conduct warrantless arrests if an in individual is seen 254 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: and suspected to be a flight risk pending a warrant. 255 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: Four serve immigration warrants, administer oas, collect fingerprints and gather evidence. 256 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: And five issue immigration detainers and hold individuals in correctional 257 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 1: facilities before transferring them to ICE custy under federal supervision. 258 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: You look at what has happened in South Dakota. The 259 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: governor there, as part of his quote Operation Prairie Thunder, 260 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: a public safety initiative, will now have the South Dakota 261 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: Highway Patrols support ICE with the rests announcing it today. 262 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: The National Guard assists with the processing and administrative tasks 263 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: as well, and the Department of Corrections will help transport detainees, 264 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: identify undocumented individuals within state prisons, and parole them into 265 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: ICE custody. 266 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: You then move to Arkansas. 267 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: Governor Sarah Huckabee, said, former White House pre Secretary under 268 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, signing the Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act, which 269 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: definitively increases penalties for undocumented immigrants convicted of violent crimes, 270 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: again saying to illegal immigrants, you don't want to be 271 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: in Arkansas. It also, with this new agreement, allows sheriffs 272 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: to apply for the two to eight to seven G 273 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: authority to serve immigration warrants on those already in custody, 274 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: and Sarah Uckebee Centers announcing this enables the Arkansas State 275 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: Police to stop individuals in public, inquire about immigration status 276 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: and potentially arrest suspected undocumented immigrants. Now, if you think 277 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 1: they're doing this lighthearted, you're wrong. For example, in Arkansas, 278 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: there is training required, a forty hour online course covering 279 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: scope immigration law, civil rights, cross cultural issues, as well 280 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: as liability. Doing this in a responsible way. Now you 281 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: may be asking what is ICE two eight seven G program. Well, 282 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: let me explain to you the broader context of how 283 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: this is being used by the Trump administration. The program 284 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: enables state and local officers, after ICE provided training, to 285 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 1: carry out certain immigration enforcement duties under ICE supervision. That 286 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: is why there's a collaboration here and why they are 287 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 1: having to sign on to the program. Now, as of 288 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: August thirteenth, ICE has executed eight hundred and ninety seven 289 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 1: agreements across forty states, including various models such as jail enforcement, 290 00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: warrant service, and task force operations. The Trump administration has 291 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:52,239 Speaker 1: significantly accelerated these partnerships, growing from around one hundred and 292 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: thirty five to over seven hundred agreements in early twenty 293 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 1: twenty five alone. 294 00:17:58,200 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 2: Of course, the left. 295 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,080 Speaker 1: Is going insane, warning that the surge is a risk 296 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: to quote civil rights community trust and invites, they say, 297 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 1: racial profiling, even though none of these programs have anything 298 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: to do with that. Now, you also may be asking yourself, 299 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,920 Speaker 1: why am I not quoting the president right now when 300 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: I'm telling you about this initiative, Well, the President clearly 301 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: is playing chess on the issue. In fact, the White 302 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: House has had no public statement or reaction regarding these 303 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: specific agreements with West Virginia, South Dakota, and Arkansas, mainly 304 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: because they want this to be clearly seen as state 305 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: led that these governors are opting in. And that is 306 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: exactly why the administration is being so successful in getting 307 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: this done with so many different agreements, because they're not grandstanding. 308 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: They're just trying to fight crime, and it's clearly working. 309 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: And when you also take a listen to West Virginia's 310 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: governor responding to the Trump administration's position on immigration force 311 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: and entering into this agreement, and what he says it's 312 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: going to do for his state, and also why so 313 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: many other states should get involved. 314 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 7: We always thought that when you're talking about the Biden 315 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 7: border disorder, which is what occurred for four years, that 316 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 7: the best way to deal with it is to have 317 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 7: a partnership between the states and the federal government. Now 318 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 7: you're seeing that with the Trump administration, which is incredible. 319 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 7: So West Virginia has actually entered into the two to 320 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 7: eighty seven g program and so we're working hand in 321 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 7: hand with ICE to identify illegal aliens and make sure 322 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 7: that they can get deported. 323 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 8: And this is. 324 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 7: Really important to do because, as President Trump said yesterday, 325 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 7: when you actually remove a lot of these illegal aliens 326 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 7: from the system, you're going to see a reduction in crime. 327 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,199 Speaker 7: That there are a number of people we found it 328 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,880 Speaker 7: even in West Virginia. Murderers, attempted murder, sexual assaults, all 329 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 7: different types of crime. None of the states need it. 330 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 7: Now we have a partnership with the Trumpet administration and 331 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 7: it's fabulous. I know that I've talked to a Homeland 332 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 7: Security secretary, Christy Nome. I've praised her for her We're 333 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 7: trying to work together with them because it takes states 334 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 7: working with the federal government to make sure that we're 335 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 7: kind of reasserting our position and stopping all the horrific 336 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 7: consequences of what happened with the illegal immigrants coming in. 337 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,120 Speaker 7: I know in West Virginia we really felt the impact 338 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 7: of that through the massive amount of death that flowed 339 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 7: from fetnyl that flooded into our state, originally from China, 340 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 7: went through the Mexican drug cartels, made its way into 341 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 7: the US. I think you're seeing a very different and 342 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 7: a much more successful approach, and I'm glad that our 343 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 7: state is a part of that. 344 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,040 Speaker 1: One of the most important things that was said there 345 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: by the West Virginia governor was how he said West 346 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:56,560 Speaker 1: Virginia had quote become an effective border state due to 347 00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: the massive FETNOH problem caused by illegal immigrats. The federal 348 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: outbreak in West Virginia has been catastrophic, especially on young people. 349 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:08,960 Speaker 1: This is one of the reasons why the governor said 350 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 1: he's so eager to work with ICE because of how 351 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 1: many lives he believes he's going to be able to save. Now, 352 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: the National Guard and the State police will have quote 353 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: task force authority and that is going to be huge 354 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: and going after the drug traffickers. Why, it gives them 355 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,199 Speaker 1: the authority to interrogate any person they believe to be 356 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,399 Speaker 1: an I legal immigrant as to his right to remain 357 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 1: in the US now under the supervision or direction of 358 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 1: the federal government, meaning ICE agents. Officers will also be 359 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 1: able to process immigration related violations for those arrested for 360 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 1: state or federal offenses. This is going to allow the 361 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: governor and his team to actually be able to do 362 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: what they need to do. It also allows for them 363 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: to have quote warrantless arrests of any illegal immigrant in 364 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: the officer's presence or view if that person is believed 365 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: to be a flight risk in the interim of obtaining 366 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: a warrant. So the governor they are authorizing the state 367 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 1: law enforcement to serve immigration warrants, administer os, and collect 368 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: evidence for required alien processing. This will allow for fingerprinting 369 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 1: and suspect interviews to be done. Now, this is also 370 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: going to have a huge impact just on the psyche 371 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants and cartel members in West Virginia because 372 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,880 Speaker 1: now they understand that virtually anyone in law enforcement now 373 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 1: can do the job they need to do to find 374 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 1: out who they are and stop them, something that was 375 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: not happening under the Biden regime. And that's why the 376 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,399 Speaker 1: President's being pretty quiet about this, because it's happening in 377 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: real time, and he's letting the governors lead in these states. 378 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: It is the traditional August recess. It's happening right now 379 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Congress is back in their districts 380 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: in theory, tending to business of listening to the constituents. 381 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean there isn't anything going on with the 382 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: House Auto Pen probe. In fact, it's uncovering a lot 383 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: about the Biden White House. Even as Congress is on 384 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,119 Speaker 1: their traditional recess. The House Oversight Committee, i've been told today, 385 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 1: is still investigating the LEDs cover up of former President 386 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden's decline. The former president insisting he was responsible 387 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: for quote all decisions that came out of the White 388 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,400 Speaker 1: House during his time in office, and former staff members 389 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: claim they saw no obvious signs of a cognitive decline. Well, 390 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: the House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer discussing the committee's 391 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,919 Speaker 1: investigation to whether the Biden administration covered up the cognitive 392 00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 1: deterioration of the former president. Now, there's also been the 393 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: question of precedent. What is the autopen like in the past. 394 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: Can you compare how other government officials use the autopen 395 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: in contrast to how it was being used when Joe 396 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: Biden was in office. Clearly that would help tremendously in 397 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: the investigation. Well, former Speaker of the House new Gingrich 398 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 1: set down with my good friend Mark Levin and he 399 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 1: was asked about the autopen when he was a Speaker 400 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 1: of the House signing legislation and how big of a 401 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: deal it was to use the autopen, How seriously was 402 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: the autopen taken, and how much was it also protected 403 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: from abuse. I want you to hear what new Gingrich 404 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: had to say to Levin. 405 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 9: Luke Gingrich question, when you were Speaker of the House, 406 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 9: I bet you took this signature requirement very seriously. I 407 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 9: bet you took the requirement that a president actually be 408 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,600 Speaker 9: present when a bill was signed very very seriously. I 409 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 9: know there's a lot of formalities to the fact when 410 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 9: certain bills are brought they're brought in a special way, 411 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 9: they're handed to somebody specifically. There's a whole process set up. 412 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 9: Did you ever think you'd see the day where we're 413 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 9: raising serious questions about a former president whether he signed 414 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 9: these bills or if he was present when the bills 415 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 9: were signed. 416 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 8: Well, we put it that way. Sure, Look, these people 417 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:18,159 Speaker 8: are corrupt, irresponsible, and happy to exploit the nation for 418 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 8: their own game. So given those kind of people, who 419 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 8: knows what they might do? I think it does raise, 420 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,719 Speaker 8: as you have brilliantly done in this show today, it 421 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 8: raises a very big question about whether or not these 422 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 8: laws are in fact laws. Remember the founding fathers understood 423 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 8: that you had to have a pretty strict series of 424 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 8: rules or the whole system breaks down into a kind 425 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 8: of corruption which undermines the rule of law. The rule 426 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 8: of law requires rules, and one of those rules is 427 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 8: that the president signs bills. Now he can direct an 428 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 8: auto pen for things that are ceremonial Christmas cards for example, 429 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 8: and ought to be signing these things. And when you 430 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 8: learn that Biden was signing thousands of commutations in the 431 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 8: last few days of his administration, you know he didn't 432 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 8: have a clue what was going on. You know, we 433 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 8: have no idea what the deals were, why those people 434 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 8: were given commutations, or if in fact they were legal. 435 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 8: So I do think there's a profound question here, and 436 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,919 Speaker 8: probably the Congress and President Trump should really write some 437 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 8: more restrictive rules about what it takes to get a 438 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 8: bill to actually be a law. 439 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 9: It's interesting New Camrich when I went back and looked 440 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 9: at Madisone's notes and looked at some of the other 441 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,359 Speaker 9: essays and comments on that they spent a lot of 442 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,439 Speaker 9: time on this. They spent a lot of time on 443 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 9: this signature issue. They remembered the Statute of Frauds from 444 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 9: the sixteen hundreds. It was very important to them. And 445 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 9: back then it was this guy is the president. You know, 446 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 9: we didn't have this massive bureaucracy. He's going to sign 447 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 9: these laws. We in Congress were going to spend our 448 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 9: time doing all this and send. 449 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 3: It to him. 450 00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 9: We're concerned at some he might hijacket somebody might sign it. 451 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 9: And there's also this presentment requirement that he needs to 452 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 9: be present. I mean, let me ask you that is 453 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 9: it really asking a president too much to sign the 454 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 9: damn bills or to be present when the bills are signed. 455 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 9: I mean, if he's having difficulty doing that, doesn't that 456 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 9: kind of prove the point? 457 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 8: Well, look, I don't think any reasonable person thinks that 458 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 8: after some point in twenty twenty three, Joe Biden clearly 459 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 8: was incompetent as defined by the twenty fifth Amendment. As 460 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 8: you walked us through. I mean, when you read the 461 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 8: amendment and you read the discussion around the amendment, it's 462 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 8: very clear Biden clearly was incompetent. Sometime I can't say 463 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 8: any given date, but sometime in twenty three it should 464 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 8: have been obvious to every person who was dealing with 465 00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 8: him that he was no longer competent to be president. 466 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,159 Speaker 8: And I agree with you every one of these cabinet 467 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 8: officers and Vice President Harris failed their constitutional duty and 468 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,959 Speaker 8: they should frankly be stuck with that that these are 469 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 8: people who will fully cheated the American people and allowed 470 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 8: a phony presidency in which I'm guessing doctor Jill was 471 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,240 Speaker 8: the most important. She became an effect of the acting 472 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:11,359 Speaker 8: president of the United States. 473 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: You listen to the claim there by new Gingridge, and 474 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:17,639 Speaker 1: it's a very interesting one. He's saying that, in essence, 475 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: the first Lady was actually the President of the United 476 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 1: States of America, the de facto president. 477 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 2: She was elected by no one. 478 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: And if that is true, then who else was involved 479 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: in this cover up or coup, depending on how you 480 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 1: want to describe it. There's also another aspect of the story, 481 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: and that is the Biden regime. Right, they're out of office, 482 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: but they're still tight. The Biden crime family now is 483 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: doing everything they can to change the narrative, which brings 484 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 1: us to the former President Joe Biden. In a New 485 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 1: York Times interview, Biden has now asserted that he quote 486 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: personally made every clemency and pardon decision, even though an 487 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: auto pen was used to apply us signature on many documents. 488 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: To the massive volume involved. Translation, I'm giving you a 489 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: really good story, an alibi to why I wasn't signing 490 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: it myself, the President said, quote I made every single 491 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:17,120 Speaker 1: one of those. He elaborated that he set the categories 492 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: and standards for pardons and commutations and communicated with each 493 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: decision to aids who executed the mechanics of signature writing 494 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 1: via auto pen. Again, this is what Joe Biden is 495 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,760 Speaker 1: saying to the New York Times. 496 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:32,440 Speaker 6: Now. 497 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: Biden also defended the practice as legal end quote typical, 498 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,560 Speaker 1: noting that many other presents, including Trump, have used auto pins. 499 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 1: He emphasized it was simply a matter of handling quote 500 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: a whole lot of people. Responding to critics, Joe Biden 501 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: also called allegations of misuse politically motivated distractions, saying, quote 502 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: their liars, they've done so badly, they've lied so consistently, 503 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,200 Speaker 1: the best thing they can do is focus on something else. 504 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,719 Speaker 1: Biden also mentioned he issued preemptive pardons to his family 505 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: members to show them from what he expected would be 506 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 1: politically driven legal attacks, specifically from Donald Trump. 507 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 2: Guess what. 508 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: The only people that have gone after people politically and 509 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 1: attacks has been the Democratic Party, who went after Donald Trump. 510 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 1: And that's exactly why they had to give these preempted 511 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: pardons out now. Biden's remarks came amid ongoing congressional investigations 512 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: by both the House and the Senate Republicans. These inquiries 513 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:41,240 Speaker 1: are well, they're simple. They're examining whether the autopen was 514 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 1: used appropriately or whether Biden or his aides had sufficient 515 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: involvement in the decisions. His former White House physician, as 516 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,720 Speaker 1: I talked about earlier on the show, Kevin O'Connor invoked 517 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 1: to fit Amendment when called to testify. Now, the Trump 518 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 1: White House, via the Secretary Caroline Levitt, launched its own investigation. 519 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,040 Speaker 1: Coordinating with a Justice Department. They reviewed tens of thousands 520 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: of documents from NARA and anticipate examining up to a 521 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: million more to determine whether Biden retained proper control of 522 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 1: the autopen or succeeded authority to staffers or maybe his wife. 523 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: Levitt harshly criticized Biden, calling him the worst, most incompetent, 524 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 1: and senile president, and suggesting that he relinquished executive power 525 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 1: to unelected aids or even family members. 526 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,040 Speaker 2: Now, let me also just remind. 527 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,440 Speaker 1: You of what the President said in his own words 528 00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: on the autopen scandal. He's been very clear that he 529 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 1: believes that Joe Biden was not running the country, that 530 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't know what executive orders or even laws 531 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: may have been signed at the end of his administration, 532 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,960 Speaker 1: and certainly didn't know who was getting clemency or pardons 533 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: in his last days and hours in office. It's also 534 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 1: interesting that Joe Biden signed his own family's pardons personally, 535 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: using his signature, not the autopen, pointing to the fact 536 00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: that he was so paranoid about the Biden crime family 537 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,640 Speaker 1: being protected and covered, but for everyone else, it was 538 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: like he wasn't even at the will to even be asleep. 539 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,239 Speaker 1: The autopen was being used by countless other individuals, and 540 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 1: who knows how much corruption there was around it. Here's 541 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 1: President Trump in his own words, I mean, you're talking. 542 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,320 Speaker 2: About the autopen. 543 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 3: Look, the autopen, I think is maybe one of the 544 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 3: biggest scandals that we've had in fifty to one hundred years. 545 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 3: This is a tremendous scandal. And I know the people 546 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 3: on the other side of the desk a resolute desk. 547 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 3: Unfortunately he used it before me. But you know, we 548 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 3: have our choice of seven desks were all beautiful, but 549 00:32:56,120 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 3: I chose the resolute and so did he. Unfortunately. But 550 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 3: the people on the other side of the resolute desk, 551 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,959 Speaker 3: I know them, Lisa, the Hall Group, and then no 552 00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:13,800 Speaker 3: good is sick people. And I guarantee he knew nothing 553 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:16,719 Speaker 3: about what he was saying. I guarantee it. 554 00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:20,920 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what this investigation is going to be 555 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 1: all about. The President making it clear they're not backing 556 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: down and they are going to investigate it and find 557 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 1: out exactly who was running the country and that person 558 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: was clearly not elected by any Americans. Now I asked 559 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: for Congress, well, the House and the Senate doing their 560 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,040 Speaker 1: own investigations individually. There are going to be a lot 561 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,480 Speaker 1: of people that are going to want to answer questions, 562 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: or maybe a lot of people that don't want to 563 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,400 Speaker 1: answer questions, depending on what your role was within the 564 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: Biden regime. As for the former staffers, you can expect 565 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: more of them to take the fifth and not say 566 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 1: a word because afraid of incriminating themselves and probably going 567 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: to jail. Don't forget share this podcast please with your 568 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: family and your friends wherever they are, and I will 569 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: see you back here tomorrow.
