1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Senate. Democrats are now threatening to vote down key funding bills, 2 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 1: particularly homeland security funding unless changes are made. What does 3 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: this mean another government shut down? The White House and 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: Republicans are rejecting the Democrats' demands for what they say 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: is decoupling homeland security funding, which increases the chances of 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: a partial government shut down. Now, the Democrats opposition comes 7 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: amid fallout from controversial actions, they say by federal immigration agents. 8 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: But critics argue this decision is creating political chaos and 9 00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: uncertainty now in the budget process, and the standoff over 10 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: the DHS funding means essential agencies like the Pentagon and 11 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: education programs could face lapses in funding if the Democrats 12 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: choose to shut down the government yet again. Now, opponents 13 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: argue Democrats are playing hardball politics rather than negotiating, which 14 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: could also hurt their standing with the public, and we 15 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 1: can trust in the government operations in general under their leadership. 16 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: There's also a bigger part of this Democrats going all 17 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: in to attack law and order, to attack law enforcement, 18 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: and now wanting to deliberately defund law enforcement. Is this 19 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,479 Speaker 1: really the message they want to be sending to voters 20 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: ahead of the midterms? Apparently they say yes, Now, how 21 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 1: likely is it that we will have a government shutdown? 22 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz and I sat down and talked about 23 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: exactly that, and here's what he said about his prediction 24 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: of will we actually have another partial government shutdowns? And 25 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: what we're now witnessing is democrats, I think feel like 26 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: this issue plays to their base, it engages their base, 27 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: and they're now going to use it to justify another 28 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: government shut down. This is my opinion. I want to 29 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on it because I think that we're 30 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: headed there for this reason where they're like, hey, we 31 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 1: have a justification now for what we want to get 32 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: rid of ice. When we get rid of ice, funding 33 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: funding for them? Is that wor' showing the government down over? 34 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: Are you seeing the way I'm seeing it now that 35 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 1: this is where we're headed. 36 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: Yes, But before we get to shut down, I want 37 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 2: to point out because politically, it's more than just their base. Yes, 38 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: it is true that these violent protests energize their base, drives, 39 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 2: turn out, drives, fundraising, The crazies get all the more 40 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: excited the more violence the left foments, But it's about 41 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 2: more than that. It's also about totally capturing the news cycle, 42 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: taking the fraud and corruption out of the news cycle. 43 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 2: That's a totally separate objective that is critically important to them. 44 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 2: But there is a third one ben which is not 45 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 2: the base of the Democrat Party, but rather moderate women, 46 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: soccer moms who may not be deeply politically engaged, and 47 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 2: historically moderate suburban women have been a swing vote. If 48 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 2: you look in the last decade, the two most predominant 49 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 2: political movements we've seen is that we've seen number one, 50 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 2: blue collar voters moving right. That's moved Midwestern states, states 51 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 2: like Ohio have gotten a lot red. They used to 52 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: be purple. Ohio's now read. But we've also seen suburban voters, 53 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 2: particularly suburban women, moving left, and that's moved what used 54 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 2: to be red states to purple states like Georgia and Arizona, 55 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 2: both of them. Just a few years ago they had 56 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: four Republican senators from Georgia and Arizona. We now have 57 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: four Democrat senators from Georgia and Arizona. The reason is 58 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: suburban women in Atlanta and Phoenix move left. The Democrats 59 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 2: of the media are seizing on this to tell stories 60 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: and understand they're looking for not the person that is 61 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: following every development, but just the person who's living their 62 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: life and taking in what's happening and seeing a headline. 63 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 2: You know, Ice shoots mother of three, Ice shoots ICU nurse, 64 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: Ice apprehends five year old child. That story was everywhere, 65 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: by the way, it's a total lie. It's absolutely false. 66 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: In fact, what happened is Ice came to apprehend the father. 67 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: The father ran off and abandoned the five year old child. 68 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 2: And and understandably, Ice was not going to leave a 69 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 2: five year old child alone on the. 70 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: Street in the death outside. Yeah, I mean they would 71 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: leave alone, period. But the but the argument that the 72 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: left has made, I'm like, let me get this straight. 73 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: You guys want the kid to be left alone just 74 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: to wander the streets of a city and be alone. 75 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 1: That's insane. And then in the winter when they could 76 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: freeze death, that's also insane. 77 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: They, by the way, found the woman, the mother of 78 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 3: the child. 79 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 2: It is reported they found the mother of the child. 80 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 2: They knocked on the door, tried to give the child 81 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 2: back to her. She wouldn't take him. She closed the 82 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: door and said no, I won't take him. And so look, 83 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: the purpose of that story is not actually factual journalism. 84 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 2: It is entirely about telling a story to pull on 85 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: people's heartstrings and to cause suburban voters who are not 86 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: paying close attention to say, oh, this has gone too far. 87 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: If they're shooting moms and nurses and arresting little kids, 88 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,640 Speaker 2: clearly it's gone too far. This is a political campaign, 89 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: and tragically it's a political campaign that is costing people's lives. 90 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 2: But because look, the political campaign is having some real effect, 91 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: it is, it is having a fact We saw, you know, 92 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: John Kasik speaking of suburban women. We saw John Kasik 93 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,480 Speaker 2: put out a whole video saying, you know, oh, oh, 94 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 2: I'm just I'm hurting so much. We must stop. We 95 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: must stop arresting illegals. You know, Unfortunately that's the target audience. 96 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: And in the world of politics, we've got to realize 97 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 2: that we've got to confront the bad stories with stories 98 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: that are compelling, and it's where tone matters, and I 99 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,800 Speaker 2: would encourage Look, the administration is doing a fantastic job 100 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: securing the border. Illegal crossings have dropped ninety nine percent. 101 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: It's phenomenal. 102 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 2: They're doing a terrific job going and arresting violent criminals 103 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: murderers and rapists and gang bangers, which is why we've 104 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: seen the murder rate drop twenty percent. We covered that 105 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: in the last podcast, that the murder rate has dropped 106 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,480 Speaker 2: twenty percent across the country. 107 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 3: That's a massive success. 108 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 2: What I think the administration could do better is the 109 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: tone with which they're describing this. That immediately when an 110 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: incident like this happens, they come out guns blazing that 111 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 2: we took out a violent terrorist, hooray. And the problem is, 112 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 2: particularly for someone not paying attention, if you're being told 113 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: this is a mom of three and there's no indication 114 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 2: you know, she's not waving an ISIS flag or doesn't 115 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 2: have a suicide vest around her. Yeah, escalating the rhetoric 116 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 2: doesn't help, and it actually loses credibility. And so I 117 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 2: would encourage the administration to be more measured, to recognize 118 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: the tragedy and to say. 119 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 3: We don't want anyone anyone's lives to be lost. 120 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 2: And the politicians who are pouring gasoline onto this fire, 121 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: they need to stop. 122 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: For the next sixty seconds. Can you hit pause on 123 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: your life and just think about this. Every day, millions 124 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: of children face a crushing reality, a constant defeating message 125 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 1: echoes and their empty stomachs and their desperate eyes. It 126 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: is that you don't matter. Poverty doesn't just steal food 127 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: and shelter. It steals hope, dignity, and the fundamental belief 128 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: that they are loved. But there's another message, one of 129 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: boundless love and hope.

Not only is the Democratic Party 138 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: looking for an opportunity, so is the media. And they 139 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: now believe that like this civil war and hold this 140 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 1: flag up is you know and planet is we as Democrats, 141 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: we're willing to shut down the government to defund ice. 142 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,040 Speaker 1: That's gonna be the premise, is what I've been told 143 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: from many of in the media that I've talked to 144 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: and some of my friends on the left. They're like, yeah, 145 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna shut down. We're justified this time way more 146 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 1: than we were last time. Last time we really weren't 147 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: justified very much and shuting down the government, but we 148 00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: tried it anyway. Now they actually fill in bolden, do 149 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: you think a government shutdown is going to come? 150 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: Yes or no? Yes? One percent? Yes, okay, and it's going. 151 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,560 Speaker 1: To be tied to this issue, right, yes, yes, one 152 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: hundred percent. 153 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: The last government shutdown, which was the longest government shutdown 154 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 2: in US history, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats forced through 155 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: really to show his radical base that he was fighting 156 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: because he's scared of being primary by AOC. But they 157 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 2: also did it to tee up the issue of healthcare 158 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:30,040 Speaker 2: and the cost of health insurance premiums. Mind you, the 159 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: premiums have skyrocketed because of Obamacare, because of their policy. 160 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 2: But they did the shutdown. It was entirely with an 161 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 2: eye towards November that they say, look, we fought like 162 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: crazy on health insurance, and the mean Republicans didn't give 163 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 2: us what we wanted, which was fifty billion dollars in 164 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 2: corporate welfare subsidies. To giant health insurance companies and that's 165 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 2: why your health insurance has gone up. Now that's factually wrong, 166 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,839 Speaker 2: but it is a political narrative they're telling here. They 167 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 2: are going to tell the narrative, we will not fund 168 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 2: ICE under any circumstances, and we will shut the government down. 169 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: And by the way, the media covered for them so much. 170 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: Their base was so happy with the shutdown. I think 171 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 2: they perceive very few downsides to shutting the government down. Now, 172 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: this shutdown that will happen on January thirtieth will likely 173 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 2: be smaller than the previous one. 174 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 3: And the reason is we've funded Still. 175 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: Explain Explain why, because does that mean they're being more 176 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: strategic in how they're doing it, or explain that. 177 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 2: Now between the two we have passed some appropriations bills. 178 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 2: So once appropriations bills are passed, those departments are funding, 179 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: so AG that the Department of Agriculture is funded, and 180 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 2: so everything that goes through AG is funded, CJS, Commerce, 181 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,440 Speaker 2: Justice and Science that is funded. Energy is funded, water 182 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: is funded, Interior environment, ledge branch, military construction in the VA, 183 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 2: all of those are funded. So the shutdown will not 184 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: impact any of those. So what would a shut down impact. 185 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: It would impact Defense, the Department of War, it would 186 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: impact the Department of Labor, it would impact HHS, it 187 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,800 Speaker 2: would impact the Department of Education, It would impact the 188 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 2: Department of Transportation. 189 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 3: And Housing in urban Development. 190 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 2: It would impact the SEC, the SCC, the independent agencies, 191 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 2: And it would impact DHS, the Department of Homeland Security, 192 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 2: and ICE directly under that. And I think you're going 193 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: to see the Democrats force a shut down. And actually 194 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 2: you don't have to take my words for it. Here, 195 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: let me read for you what Schumer tweeted out to 196 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: the world. He said, quote, what's happening in Minnesota is 197 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: appalling and unacceptable in any American city. Democrats sought common 198 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,320 Speaker 2: sense reforms in the Department of Homeland Security spending bill, 199 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 2: but because of Republican's refusal to stand up to President Trump, 200 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: the DHS bill woefully inadequate to rein in the abuses 201 00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 2: of ICE. 202 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 3: I will vote no. 203 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: Senate Democrats will not provide the votes to proceed to 204 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 2: the Appropriations bill if the DHS funding bill is included there. 205 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 2: He is explicitly, unequivocally threatening a shutdown. I think that's 206 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,959 Speaker 2: what we're gonna see come Janus, and by. 207 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: The way, He's not the only one. So Elizabeth Warren 208 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 1: was responding to another tweet. I want to read it. 209 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: It was just the tweet she was responding to to 210 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: give it context. Says reminder, DHS legislation that funds ICE 211 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: at current levels without policy restrictions is in the Senate 212 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: and needs sixty votes to pass. Deadline is next Friday. 213 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren puts that out there with this and she says, quote, 214 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: I'm a hell no, not a penny more for ICE. 215 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: We should not fund this terror. So she's also jumping 216 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: on board with this as well. And then there's other 217 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 1: centers have come out and so this is why I 218 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 1: say this isn't a one off. This is clearly a 219 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: coordinated attack, is the best way I can describe it. 220 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,079 Speaker 3: Well, here's Chris Murphy on CNN, give a listen. 221 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 4: I want to ask about what you're leader. Chuck Schumber says, 222 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 4: the Democrats are going to vote against a government funding 223 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,680 Speaker 4: package that is before the Senate soon and it includes 224 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 4: money for the Department of Homeland Security. How is that 225 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: going to play out? 226 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 5: Well, we can't vote to fund this lawless Department of 227 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 5: Homeland Security. 228 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: We can't fund this lawless Department of Homeland Security center. 229 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: That's pretty bold words if you ask me by a 230 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,840 Speaker 1: center that clearly is like, hey, we're all on the 231 00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: same page. This is what we're doing now. 232 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. Look that's the position of every Democrat. 233 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: And understand, this is the same position that is abolish 234 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 2: ICE and abolish the police. They're saying they're going to 235 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: refuse to fund the Department of Homeland Security, the department 236 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 2: that is charged with keeping us safe, with securing our border, 237 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 2: with protecting our families, and the Democrats are saying we 238 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 2: won't fund it. 239 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 3: So what will happen. 240 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 2: I think there's a chance we see Congress put together 241 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 2: an appropriations package that funds everything but DHS, that that 242 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: might be that might pass. In terms of DHS, I 243 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 2: think the Democrats are going to force a shutdown, and 244 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 2: I think they want it to be extended and in order. 245 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,520 Speaker 3: This is not a short one. 246 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: To be clear, you think they want this to be painful, 247 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: almost like they're running in the midterms on this issue 248 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: of ICE. 249 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 2: I think they want to be able to tell their base, 250 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: we are defunding ICE, we are abolishing ICE, we are 251 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: against law enforcement, we're with the criminals. 252 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: That's that's their messaging. 253 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: It isn't all out civil war. That's what the Democrats 254 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: said they wanted in Minnesota. But now Tim Waltz is 255 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: called President Donald Trump. And here's what we've been told 256 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: about that conversation, Donald Trump putting up on true social 257 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: The Governor Tim Waltz called me with a request to 258 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: work together with respect to Minnesota. It was a very 259 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 1: good call, and we actually seem to be on a 260 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 1: similar wavelength. I told Governor Waltz that I would have 261 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 1: Tom Homan call him and that what we're looking for 262 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 1: are any and all criminals that they have in their possession. 263 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: This is exactly, by the way, what hundreds of other 264 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 1: cities do when they catch a criminals, a legal immigrant, 265 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 1: and then they work with federal authorities ice to make 266 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: sure that they are taken into custody. That's not what 267 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 1: they do in sanctuary cities or states like Minnesota. Back 268 00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: to the President's own words, the governor very respectfully understood that, 269 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: and I will be speaking to him in the near future. 270 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: He was happy that Tom Homan was going to Minnesota, 271 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: and so am I. We have such tremendous success in Washington, 272 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: d C. Memphis, Tennessee and New Orleans, Louisiana and virtually 273 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: every other place we have touched, and even in Minnesota, 274 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: crime is way down, but both Governor Waltz and I 275 00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: want to make it better. 276 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 3: President Donald J. Trump. 277 00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: Now that wasn't all that the President had to say 278 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: on this issue. He also hours before that put out 279 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: this statement on true social I'm sending Tom home into 280 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: Minnesota tonight. He has not been involved in the area, 281 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: but knows and likes many of the people there. Tom 282 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: is tough, but fair and report directly to me. Separately, 283 00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: a major investigation is going on with respect to the 284 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: massive twenty billion dollar plus welfare fraud that has taken 285 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: place in Minnesota and is at least partially responsible for 286 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: the violent, organized protests going on the streets. Additionally, the 287 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:44,320 Speaker 1: DOJ and Congress are looking at Congresswoman Elamo mar who 288 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: left Somalia with nothing and is now reportedly worth more 289 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 1: than forty four million dollars. Time will tell all. Thank 290 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 1: you for your attention this matter. President Donald J. 291 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 3: Trump. 292 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 1: Now you put that together with the White House Press Secretary, 293 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: as she laid it out today from the podium at 294 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: the White House, exactly what the plan is and what 295 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 1: the presidents had to say about moving forward and keeping 296 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 1: all Americans safe. The President wants law and order, not 297 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 1: anarchy and chaos, which is what Governor Wald and Mayor 298 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,919 Speaker 1: Fry have given us. Take a listen. 299 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 6: It is President Trump's hope and wish in demand for 300 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 6: the resistance in chaos to end today. That's why President 301 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 6: Trump spoke with Governor Walsh directly this morning, and he 302 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 6: has outlined a clear and simple path to restoring law 303 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,120 Speaker 6: and order in Minnesota. Number One, Governor Waltz, Mayor Fry 304 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 6: and all Democrat leaders should turn over all criminal illegal 305 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 6: aliens currently incarcerated in their prisons in jails to federal authorities, 306 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,120 Speaker 6: along with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known 307 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 6: criminal histories for immediate deportation. Number two, State and local 308 00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 6: law enforcement must agree to turn over all illegal alas 309 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 6: millions who are arrested by local police. And then, thirdly, 310 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,919 Speaker 6: local police must assist federal law enforcement in apprehending, in 311 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:14,400 Speaker 6: detaining illegal aliens who are wanted for crimes, especially violent crimes. 312 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 6: If Governor Walls in Marefry implement these common sense cooperative 313 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 6: measures that I will add have already been implemented in 314 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 6: nearly every single other state across the country, Customs and 315 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,119 Speaker 6: border patrol will not be needed to support ICE on 316 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 6: the ground in Minnesota. ICE in local law enforcement can 317 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 6: peacefully work together, as they are effectively doing in so 318 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 6: many other states and jurisdictions. Additionally, President Trump is calling 319 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 6: on the United States Congress to immediately pass legislation ending 320 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 6: sanctuary cities once and for all. American cities should be 321 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 6: safe sanctuaries for law abiding citizens only, not for dangerous 322 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 6: illegal alien criminals who broke our nation's laws and do 323 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,239 Speaker 6: not belong here. We hope Governor Walls will contill, do 324 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 6: the right thing and continue to work with President Trump 325 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 6: to keep the American people safe. Following their call this morning, 326 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 6: Americans overwhelmingly want exactly what President Trump is delivering, strong 327 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 6: borders in strict immigration enforcement against the worst illegal aliens, 328 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 6: of which there are still hundreds of thousands to deport 329 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 6: from the interior of our country. The most peaceful way 330 00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 6: to carry out this vital public safety mission is for 331 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 6: Republicans and Democrats to do it together, and for state 332 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 6: and local law enforcement to work together with federal law enforcement. 333 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 6: We want to let cops be cops. You wouldn't know 334 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 6: this continues to be a very popular policy position from 335 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,080 Speaker 6: the biased media coverage over the course of the last 336 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 6: few days, but polling shows huge support for this exact thing. 337 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 6: President Trump is calling for. More than eighty percent of 338 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 6: Americans favor deporting illegal aliens convicted of violent crimes. A 339 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 6: country unable to deport criminals who enter it illegally is 340 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,640 Speaker 6: no country at ours. The Open Border's agenda of Kamala 341 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 6: Harris Tim Walls into Democrats was already on the ballot 342 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 6: on November fifth, twenty twenty four, and it was resoundingly rejected. 343 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 6: President Trump will never back down from his promise to 344 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 6: deport violent, criminal illegal aliens and make America safe again. 345 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 3: Caroline Levit is absolutely right. 346 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: The President was elected to do exactly what he's been doing, 347 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: and that is getting the worst among us out of 348 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: this country that broke into this country illegally. And if 349 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: you go back to exactly what the White House put out, 350 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: they've made it clear and transparent what they are demanding. 351 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: Number One, that Governor Waltson, Mayor Fryme and all the 352 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Democratic leaders should turn over all criminal legal aliens currently 353 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: incarcerated in their prisons and jails to federal authorities, along 354 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: with any illegal aliens with active warrants or known criminal 355 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 1: histories for immediate deportation. They also demand that state local 356 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: law enforcement must agree to turn over all illegal aliens 357 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 1: arrested by local police. Now, again, this is all exactly 358 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: what the law is state you must do. The President 359 00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: is not asking for anything outside of what the state 360 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: of laws. 361 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 3: Say in this country. 362 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: Number three, local police must assist federal law enforcement and 363 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: apprehending and detaining illegal aliens wanted for crimes. Ice and 364 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,959 Speaker 1: local law enforcement can peacefully work together, as they are 365 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: effectively doing in so many other states and jurisdictions to 366 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: remove violent criminals from American neighborhoods. There are literally hundreds 367 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: of cities in America where what you're witnessing in Minnesota 368 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: is not happening because law enforcement is working together. That's 369 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be. Many times when you see 370 00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 1: tragedies where they say, they say local law enforcement and 371 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,679 Speaker 1: federal law enforcement are working together. Right, local, state and 372 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 1: federal working together, especially when you're dealing with criminals. But 373 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: these individuals like Governor Walton mayor Fry refuse to do this. 374 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: They put illegal immigrant criminals ahead of a mayor American 375 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: citizens the other thing. 376 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: The President said. 377 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 1: Additionally, he's calling on the United States Congress to immediately 378 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: pass legislation ending sanctuary cities once and for all, because 379 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: he understands that every time there's a safe haven for 380 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:20,679 Speaker 1: these types of criminals, it cost Americans their lives. It 381 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 1: allows them a safe haven to set up corruption and 382 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 1: also to set up crime syndicates. It also allows for 383 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants to steal from American taxpayers. We've witnessed all 384 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,040 Speaker 1: of that in Minneapolis and the surrounding area. American cities, 385 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: he said, should be safe sanctuaries for law abiding citizens only, 386 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: not for dangerous legal alien criminals who broke our laws 387 00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: and do not belong here. 388 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 3: He said this, we. 389 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 1: Hope Governor Waltz will do the right thing and work 390 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: with President Trump and his team to keep America and 391 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 1: the American people safe. So it is clear now the 392 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: President of United States and America saying look, I am 393 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: representing you. Americans overwhelmingly did exactly that. An election day. 394 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: They wanted strong borders, They wanted strict immigration enforcement against 395 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: the worst criminal legal aliens, of which there are still 396 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands to deport from the interior of our country. 397 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: You wouldn't know it, the President says, from the bias 398 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,640 Speaker 1: media coverage. The polls show huge support for this very thing. 399 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: More than eighty percent of Americans favor deporting legal aliens 400 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: convicted of violent crimes. The most peaceful way to carry 401 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 1: out this vital public safety mission, the White House says, 402 00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 1: is for Republicans and Democrats to do it together, and 403 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 1: for local and state law enforcement to work with federal 404 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: law enforcement to get it done together. President Trump also 405 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: saying he will never back down from the promise to 406 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:56,199 Speaker 1: deport all violent criminal legal aliens and make America safe again. 407 00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: There are a lot of Americans that are asking this 408 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: question about what's happening in Minnesota, and that is hold 409 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: on a second. As we're talking about ICE and all 410 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 1: the attacks on ICE agents and the shootings, what happened 411 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:13,840 Speaker 1: to the billions of dollars in fraud that was uncovered, Well, 412 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: we're looking into that. That's exactly what we know is 413 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: coming out of the FBI. But what the FBI Director 414 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: Cash Hotel also says is there's going to be a 415 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: full investigation into the active actions of the left wing 416 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 1: terrorist organizations that are doing much of this in Minnesota. 417 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: He said this earlier today on my good friend Benny 418 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 1: Johnson's show. Take a listen. 419 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 7: Okay, so this is breaking news. So you are you 420 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 7: and the FBI and perhaps other intelligence agencies are fully 421 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 7: aware of this coordinated effort to attack federal law enforcement, 422 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 7: to impede them and potentially insurrect and so there is 423 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 7: now an open investigation into the into these chats and 424 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 7: into this coordinated network. Yeah, some of them are fleeing. 425 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 7: Some of them are very scared now you can see 426 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 7: their chats. They're they're very, very worried now that they 427 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 7: have been exposed. 428 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: Well they should be. 429 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,120 Speaker 5: If they broke the law, you should be worried. It's 430 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 5: that simple. If you didn't break the law, there's really 431 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 5: nothing to worry about on that front. And so you know, 432 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 5: we're going to continue as I've said from day one. 433 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 5: We will protect law enforcement. We will make sure they 434 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 5: have the security and safety to do their jobs. We 435 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 5: will also ensure that civilians have the ultimate protection of 436 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 5: the First and Second Amendment. But it is my job 437 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 5: to adjudicate the difference when there is a breaking a 438 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 5: federal statute or state law in the furtherance of a 439 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 5: crime or violence against law enforcement officers, and that's when 440 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 5: we step in. 441 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 3: And that is when we step in. 442 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 1: Now. He wasn't done there. He also talked about they've 443 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 1: identified the funders behind the left wing groups attacking ice 444 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 1: in Minnesota and what does that look. 445 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 7: Like, Ash, You've been doing And I saw some announcements 446 00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 7: just this morning, some major arrests of some is the 447 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 7: left wing terrorists who've been attacking law enforcement, attacking federal agents, 448 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 7: stealing rifles. I believe it was an FBI rifle or 449 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 7: a DOJ rifle. In this January fourteenth attacking. Gives update 450 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 7: on that. 451 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, Look, we've always said that, you know, we 452 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 5: are going to defend absolutely your right to peacefully protest 453 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 5: under the First Amendment, and we're also always going to 454 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,400 Speaker 5: uphold your right to bare arms in the Second Amendment. 455 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 5: That's never changed. We're going to equally protect all of 456 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,199 Speaker 5: those The only thing we're not going to do is 457 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 5: allow any of those amendments to be violated when you 458 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 5: pursue a course of action of violence against law enforcement. 459 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 5: It's that simple. That position has never changed. So on 460 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,280 Speaker 5: January fourteenth, you referenced a mob literally rioted and destroyed 461 00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 5: federal police vehicles. Of course we jumped into action. We 462 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,919 Speaker 5: caught and arrested four individuals responsible for breaking those vehicles 463 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 5: apart and dismandling them completely. But I have an update 464 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 5: for you. In that vehicle was not just firearms pitmich 465 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 5: thankfully we recovered, but was information about law enforcement agents 466 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 5: and their personal information. Individuals use that personal information on 467 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 5: the ground to issue threats of life against not only 468 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 5: FBI agents, but their wives and their children. So just 469 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 5: last night, the FBI arrested one of the individuals responsible 470 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 5: for making those threats to federal law enforcement. And we're 471 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 5: going to have more rest on that same matter today 472 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:22,680 Speaker 5: and tomorrow. 473 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 3: We're not done. 474 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 5: And that's the distinction. You want to go out there 475 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 5: and peacefully protests, have at it, You want to go 476 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:33,920 Speaker 5: out there and use your secondment and right to bear arms. Okay, 477 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 5: no problem, But look at the situation in Minnesota. This 478 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 5: is not something that just happened overnight. They've been riding recklessly, 479 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 5: destroying federal vehicles, ramming federal agents, literally hitting them, striking them, 480 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 5: and as you just highlighted, using coordinated attacks to threaten 481 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 5: their families none of that is lawful and none of 482 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 5: that will be tolerated. You do not get to touch 483 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 5: law enforcement. And we've got also investigations on going into 484 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:02,119 Speaker 5: the funding of this. We've made actual, substantial progress. I 485 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,640 Speaker 5: just can't publicize it yet, but we've actually found groups 486 00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 5: and individuals responsible for funding it because it's not happening organically. 487 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 1: It's not happening organically. Now we also know the FBI 488 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: Director Cash Pattel, spoke about the investigation underway in the 489 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,440 Speaker 1: Minnesota shooting. There's a lot of people that are obsessed 490 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: over that most recent shooting, and this is what he 491 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: had to say about the transparency aspect of that investigation. 492 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 8: Joining me now with more on the investigation is the 493 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 8: director of the FBI, Cash Partel. Director. Thanks sorry much 494 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 8: for being here this morning. And I know that this 495 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 8: is a DHS investigation, but there is outrage across the 496 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 8: country that there is another killing. Someone is dead at 497 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 8: the hands of border patrol. What can you tell us? 498 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 5: Great to be with you, Maria, and look. Secretary Nome 499 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,719 Speaker 5: stated perfectly, you do not get to attack law enforcement 500 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,520 Speaker 5: officials in this country out any repercussions. You do not 501 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 5: get to do that. In Minnesota, LA, or anywhere else, 502 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,040 Speaker 5: and the interagency is leading the charge out there. We've 503 00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,840 Speaker 5: already arrested with the interagency those that violated the Face 504 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 5: Act and impeded a priestful prayer in church. We've already 505 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 5: just last night arrested four more individuals involved in the 506 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 5: damage of government property that we saw the videos of online. 507 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,080 Speaker 5: We've arrested in other individuals who've meant threats to law 508 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 5: enforcement online, So we are not messing around. It doesn't 509 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 5: have to be in person. If you threaten law enforcement 510 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 5: officials or civilians, we are going to come find you. 511 00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 5: And as for this latest shooting, yes, DHS and HSI 512 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,240 Speaker 5: are the lead and the FBI is processing the physical evidence. 513 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 5: So we're in possession of the firearm, which is going 514 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 5: to go to our laboratory. But as Secretary Nome said, 515 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 5: no one who wants to be peaceful shows up as 516 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 5: a protest with a firearm that is loaded with two 517 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 5: full magazines. That is not a peaceful protest. And you 518 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 5: do not get to touch law enforcement. You do that anywhere. 519 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:57,040 Speaker 5: This FBI is going to be following leading the charge to. 520 00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 8: Arrest those But how was he threatened? Border Patrol you've 521 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 8: collected the evidence. You said, right, you have the handgun 522 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 8: in your possession, that's right. And how was he using 523 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 8: that handgun in terms of threatening border patrol? What was 524 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 8: the threat? He had his camera right, he was filming it. 525 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 5: That's something that I let the DHS and the prosecutors 526 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 5: because they are the ones investigating in that case. I 527 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 5: don't want to stylize that evidence, but I trust the 528 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,600 Speaker 5: men and women on the ground, who are trained professionals, 529 00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 5: to only use it when it's absolutely necessary. And I 530 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 5: trust Secretary of NOMES leadership and DHS and HSI to 531 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 5: do the right thing as they've always done in these scenarios. 532 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 8: Christinomes said that the individual approached US Border patrol officers 533 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 8: with a nine millimeters semi automatic handgun. Was the gun 534 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 8: visible or did border patrol see the gun after they 535 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 8: shot him? 536 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,600 Speaker 5: Again, all the moose pieces of the investigator are being 537 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 5: led by DHS and HSI, and I don't want to 538 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 5: comment on their ongoing investigation. 539 00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 8: I understand, but you have the evidence. What can you 540 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 8: tell us about the evidence you collected? 541 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 5: It's center our AFTERBI laboratory where it'll be fingerpristed, will 542 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 5: use ballistics examination to kids to see if any casings 543 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 5: were fired, and we'll examine all the casings that were 544 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 5: found on the scene. 545 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 3: How much. 546 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 8: Of this has to do with some of the rhetoric 547 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 8: in your view, Just two weeks ago, the Governor Tim 548 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 8: Waltz told residents to get their phones and start filming 549 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 8: whatever is happening, and when they see border patrol, listen 550 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 8: to this. This is just two weeks ago from Governor 551 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 8: Tim Walt's watch. 552 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,000 Speaker 9: If you see these ICE agents in your neighborhood, take 553 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 9: out that phone and hit record. Help us create a 554 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 9: database of the atrocities against Minnesotan's not just to establish 555 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 9: a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution. 556 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 5: Your reaction, I think that type of rhetoric is exactly 557 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,959 Speaker 5: what's leading to violence against law enforcement. That is totally 558 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 5: baseless and unnecessary. And for the state CEO to do 559 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 5: that against our law enforcement communities disgusting and revolting, and 560 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 5: it should be examined thoroughly as to anyone who's in 561 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 5: inciting this type of violence. It is absolutely improper, unlawful 562 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,640 Speaker 5: and will not be tolerated any type of violence against 563 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 5: law enforcement. 564 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 8: But it's not stopping people are mad at ice and 565 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 8: want border patrol to stop. You saw what's happening right 566 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 8: now in Minneapolis. People are protesting in the streets, pushing 567 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 8: border patrol out. How will this end? 568 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 5: This will add thanks to President Trump's brilliant leadership to 569 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 5: always back the blue. Law enforcement will hold the day. 570 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 5: The constitution and the rule of law will hold the day. 571 00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,680 Speaker 5: It is a tough time right now, but I believe 572 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 5: that our law enforcement officials on the ground, DHS, FBI, 573 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 5: local police force across the country are moving in the 574 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 5: right direction, and we will call these rights and we 575 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 5: will prevail. That's what we always do. 576 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: You can hear Caysh Mattel making it clear they're not 577 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: going to back down. They're going to do what the 578 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 1: law says. They're going to go after the worst and 579 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 1: no matter what the Left tries to do, including mcgovernor 580 00:32:58,040 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 1: as you heard there just two weeks ago, in a 581 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: official address to the people in his state. I want 582 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: to be clear that was an official address, like what 583 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 1: you would see the equivalent from the Oval office. It 584 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: is truly incredible to watch a governor tell his citizens 585 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: to turn on law enforcement. If you want to know 586 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,960 Speaker 1: how we got to where we are now with the 587 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: anarchy and the chaos and the streets and people's lives 588 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: that have been lost. It is because of this rhetoric. 589 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 1: Now the President is saying two things. One, we're going 590 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: to look into the corruption of the fraud. We're opening 591 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 1: investigations where we believe there needs to be investigations and 592 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: there will be accountability for these actions. He also says 593 00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,920 Speaker 1: we're going to look into people like elam Omar, and 594 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 1: we're not just gonna sit back and act like what 595 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:54,560 Speaker 1: they've done had nothing to do with corruption either. They're 596 00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:59,560 Speaker 1: going on a fact finding mission and if Democrats are 597 00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: upset about that, the question that should be asked now 598 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: is what are they hiding? I think we should know 599 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: who's paying. 600 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 3: For all of this. 601 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,400 Speaker 1: Well, keep following this story.
