1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:05,040 Speaker 1: Welcome its verdict with Ted Cruz Week in Review, Ben 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 1: Ferguson with you, and these are the stories that you 3 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,119 Speaker 1: may have missed that we talked about this past week. 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: First up, Republicans move for accountability on the border crisis, 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: specifically with my Orcis. Also, the White House has one 6 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 1: terrible message for Israel and they have continued to allow 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: them to hang out to drive. We'll have the latest 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: on that. And finally, how do the Democrats actually stop 9 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: the impeachment inquiry into my Orcus in the Senate? Senator 10 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Cruz explains all of that. It's the Week in Review 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: and it starts right now. There's also the fact that 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people believe, and I think 13 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: you would agree with this, that there has been zero 14 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: accountability for Secretary my orchis just flat out lying to Congress. 15 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 1: This is something that he said, and I want to 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: get your take. 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: Adhere to the oath to which I have sworn, and 18 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,240 Speaker 2: I have abided by the law each and every step 19 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 2: of the way. 20 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: That's not true, is it. 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,479 Speaker 3: That's a lie. It's an absolute lie. And actually there's 22 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 3: a whole provision of these articles of impeachment that lay 23 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 3: out how may Orcus has repeatedly lied to Congress. Now, now, 24 00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 3: it's interesting. One of the things that the articles of 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 3: impeachment also lay out is that, Okay, so the Democrats 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 3: are going to take the position, this is a policy 27 00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 3: difference that that that Okay, the Biden administration just they 28 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 3: won't quite say it, but believes it open borders. So 29 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 3: they're going to let people go. But it's not impeachable. 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: It's it's it's it's not an offense. What is interesting 31 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 3: is that was not the position of the Biden Justice Department. 32 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 3: So you had litigation in front of the court where 33 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 3: Texas sued the Biden administration trying to get the court 34 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 3: to say, the Biden administration is refusing to refusing to 35 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: follow immigration law. And I'm going to read from the 36 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 3: Articles of impeachment the dissenting justice in that case noted quote. 37 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 3: The court holds that Texas lacks standing to challenge a 38 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 3: federal policy that inflicts substantial harm on the state and 39 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: its residents by releasing illegalaliens with criminal convictions for serious crimes. 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: In order to reach that conclusion, the court holds that 41 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: the only limit on the power of the president to 42 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 3: disobey a law like the important provisions, at issue is 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: Congress's power to employ the weapons of inner branch warfare. 44 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 3: As the descending justice explained, quote, Congress may wield what 45 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 3: the Solicitor General described as political tools, which presumably mean 46 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 3: such things as impeachment and removal. Indeed, during oral arguments, 47 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 3: the justice, who authored a majority opinion stated to the 48 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 3: Solicitor General, quote, I think your position is instead of 49 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 3: judicial review, Congress has to resort to shutting down the 50 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 3: government or impeachment or dramatic steps. That is what the 51 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 3: Biden Justice Department argued, is that impeachment is the remedy 52 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 3: when a president a cabinet member refuses to follow the law, 53 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 3: defies the law. The Biden Justice Department argued that in 54 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 3: front of the US Supreme Court. And yet you know 55 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,639 Speaker 3: what today, the Democrats are going to say, no, impeachment's 56 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: not the remedy. If you have an executive who defies 57 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 3: the law, it doesn't matter. We're going to rubber stamp 58 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 3: it and we're not even going to hold a trial. 59 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: And by the way, every Democrat will tell the reporters 60 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: there was no evidence of a high crime and misdemeanor. Now, 61 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 3: of course they'll say there was no evidence because they're 62 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 3: about to vote to block all the evidence, so they 63 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 3: don't hear any evidence, so then they can say we 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 3: didn't hear any evidence. And the reason they didn't hear 65 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: any evidence is because they're going to refuse to hear 66 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 3: any evidence. And why are they going to refuse to 67 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 3: hear any evidence, Because they don't want the American people 68 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: to hear the evidence. 69 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: And part of what they don't want them to hear 70 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: is the reality of what it's like up there on 71 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: the streets. Bill Malusian did some great reporting yesterday on 72 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: Fox News Channel about Elite Ice unit is tracking down 73 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: migrant criminals, specifically child rapists. This is while Mayorkas stared 74 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: at Congress and said the border is secure, the border 75 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: is secure. He said that to Congress he was lying. 76 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: Take a list of this from Fox. 77 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 4: A short time later, I took down their final target, 78 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 4: a Brazilian gang member also charged with child rape. Just 79 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: this morning today, four accused child rapists and one MS 80 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 4: thirteen gang member. Those are the kind of people you're 81 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: going after, that's every day up here in Boston. If 82 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 4: those are the public safety threats that we really want 83 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 4: to get off the street. It was a great day 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 4: for the teams. 85 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 5: That's five public safety threats that are on in the community, 86 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 5: gonna go ahead. 87 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: And victimize anyone else. 88 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 5: And I says, all of those arrests you just saw 89 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 5: happen because local authorities ignored their detainer request to keep 90 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 5: these guys in custody due to sanctuary policies. I says, 91 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 5: all of those suspects will remain in federal custody until 92 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 5: their local charges are resolved. Then Ice will seek into 93 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 5: port every single one of them. 94 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: Four alleged child rapists arrested in the morning, and they 95 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: said they're doing this every day, and local law enforcement 96 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: is not working with them because local municipalities have said 97 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: we're sanctuary cities. So these child rapists are that should 98 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: have been held by local authorities or not. And yet 99 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: this administration says, no, no, no, we're following the law. Everything's fine. 100 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 3: Every single week, the Biden administration is releasing thousands upon 101 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 3: thousands of illegal aliens. That includes murderers, that includes rapists, 102 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 3: that includes child molesters. Every single week we are seeing 103 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 3: another horrific crime committed by an illegal alien released by 104 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 3: Joe Biden and the Democrats. Week after week after week, 105 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 3: Whether it was Laken Riley and Georgia and the horrific 106 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 3: murder that occurred from an illegal alien that Joe Biden 107 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 3: the Democrats released, Whether it was Jeremy Cassaris, a beautiful 108 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 3: two year old boy and Prince George's County, Maryland, just 109 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 3: a few miles from where I am right now in DC, 110 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 3: murdered by Neeli galalien that Joe Biden released, Or whether 111 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: it was a fifteen year old girl in Boston, Massachusetts, 112 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: severely disabled who was raped by an illigal alien that 113 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: not only did Biden released, he flew from Haiti to America. 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 3: So we've covered on this podcast how three hundred and 115 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: twenty thousand illegal immigrants were flown into America by the 116 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: Biden administration. He literally imported in a child rapist who's 117 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 3: now been arrested for raping the severely disabled fifteen year 118 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 3: old teenager. This is happening week after week after week. 119 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: This is why the Democrats don't argue on the other side. 120 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: What's the counter argument of, No, it's good a two 121 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 3: year old boy is murdered. No, it's good that we 122 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: have teenage girls being raped. That there is no counter argument. 123 00:06:55,440 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 3: So their counter argument is see no evil. Their counter 124 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 3: argument is John Tester running from the Senate floor and 125 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 3: hiding in the cloak room because he doesn't want to 126 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: listen to what's happening. Why because he intends to vote 127 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: today to say no trial, no evidence. I don't want 128 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 3: to know. I do not care about the people dying. 129 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: I'm a Democrat. I want Democrats to be in power. 130 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: Ten point four million illegal immigrants meets more Democrat voters. 131 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: So if people have to die for me to stay 132 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: in power as a Democrat, I'm okay with that. I 133 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 3: got to say, Look, it is difficult for me not 134 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 3: to get really angry about this because as a Texan, 135 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 3: I see I've looked in the eyes when you get 136 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: down to the border, as I have over and over again, 137 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: and you look in the eyes of these little children 138 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 3: have been brutalized. It makes you angry that these people. Tomorrow, 139 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 3: more children will be brutalized, Tomorrow, more women will be raped, 140 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 3: and not a one of these Democrats cares, not a 141 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 3: one of them will do anything to change it. And 142 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: they'll tell you, oh I care, but if you cared, 143 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: you would change it. And not a one one of 144 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 3: that is willing to do that. 145 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: I want to go back in time and this is 146 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: my orcus in front of the White House, and then 147 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to compare it to what Schumer said last week. 148 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: Do you believe that right now there is a crisis 149 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 3: at the border? 150 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 2: I think that the answer is no. I think there 151 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 2: is a challenge at the border that we are managing, 152 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 2: and we have our resources dedicated to managing it. 153 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: That was Mark's first twenty twenty one Secretary of my 154 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: ork Is insisting there's no crisis of the border, despite 155 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: that millions of illegal immigrants coming across and literally thousands 156 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 1: of illegal crossings per day. Then you go to last week, 157 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer making it clear this is a policy now 158 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party to have an open border collage. 159 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 4: Say you're going to offer. 160 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 5: A motion to dismiss the impeachment charges on Thursday. Are 161 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 5: you at all concerned that if some Democrats and tough 162 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 5: Races both for that you can come back to Falston Campaigndro. 163 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: Look, we're going to try and resolve this issue as 164 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: quickly as possible. Impeachment did never be used to settle 165 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 2: policy disagreements. 166 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: Leadership never be used to settle policy disagreements. This is 167 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: the policy of the Democratic Party. And my archistslied to 168 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 1: your face in March of twenty twenty one saying that 169 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: there's no crisis the border, and in their mind from 170 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: a policy viewpoint center, I think it's abundantly clear. Now 171 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: they're on the record saying a wide open southern border 172 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: and millions of illegals coming across is not a is 173 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: not a crisis, it's just a policy disagreement, and it's. 174 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 3: The policy they support. And Schumer repeated those those two 175 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: lines at the press conference about four more times that said, 176 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 3: we're going to try to get rid of us as 177 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: quickly as possible, and impeachment should never be used for 178 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 3: policy dispute. What's interesting, he didn't have a third line. 179 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 3: He was reading those talking points. He was being very precise. 180 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 3: He's not defending, he's not saying, hey, this is a 181 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 3: good policy. I agree with the policy the Biden administration. 182 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 3: I think it's great we have an open border. I 183 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: think it's terrific that we're releasing murderers. I think it's 184 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 3: terrific that we're releasing rapists. I think it's terrific we're 185 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 3: releasing child molesters. We're releasing drunk drive. I think it's 186 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 3: terrific that one hundred thousand people have died of drug 187 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: overdose every year and we keep allowing more and more. 188 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 3: I think it's terrific that in twenty eighteen, the Mexican 189 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 3: drug cartels made five hundred million dollars from human trafficking. 190 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 3: In twenty twenty two they made thirteen billion dollars. I 191 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 3: think it's fabulous that we, the Democrats, have produced a 192 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 3: two six hundred percent increase in the revenue for the 193 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 3: Mexican drug cartels. The biggest friends the human traffickers have 194 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: ever had in the history of humanity have been Joe 195 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 3: Biden and Alejandro Majorcis. That is the simple reality, and 196 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 3: none of that does Chuck Schumer say. Instead says, hey, 197 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: this is just a policy dispute. 198 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: You know. 199 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 3: They the other side believes in securing the border, and 200 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 3: we want this country invaded. 201 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: It is the policy of the Democratic Party. And it's sad, 202 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: but we're witnessing the demise of this country, our borders 203 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: and our laws at the hands of these people, and 204 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 1: it is their America will come back. 205 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: Though America will come back, are not witnessing the demise. 206 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 3: We're witnessing the attempted demise, and I believe in this country. 207 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: I think we will come back. I think millions of 208 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 3: Americans are looking this and saying, Holy crap, this is horrific, 209 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: this is inhuman, this is wrong. That's why this trial 210 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: is so important is there are a lot of people that 211 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: still don't know what's happening. They don't understand. If you 212 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 3: watch CNN every day, God help you, but you have 213 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 3: no idea because the media or propagandists. That's why this 214 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 3: trial is important. But I think people's eyes are opening 215 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 3: up now. 216 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation, 217 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to the full podcast 218 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two. So 219 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: you look at all of that, and then you see 220 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 1: this that just came out from the National Security Council 221 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: statement on Iranian attacks on Israel, and I'm quoting it 222 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: says President Biden has been clear. Our support for Israel's 223 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: security is iron The US will stand with the people 224 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: of Israel and support their defense against these threats from Iran. Okay, senter, 225 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: If that's true, then they have to give them what 226 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 1: they need this week. Am I wrong? 227 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 3: Well, if there was anything like coherence and logic, then yes. 228 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 3: And Number one I'm going to predict right now, Chuck 229 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 3: Schumer is going to do everything he can to block 230 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 3: a vote on emergency military aid to Israel. I've called 231 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 3: on it, I forced her already once. My guess is 232 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,600 Speaker 3: that he will put in place parliamentary tools to prevent 233 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 3: us from using the same technique again. And I think 234 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 3: the House, we've seen the Speaker of the House and 235 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 3: the Majority Leader both say that they're going to vote 236 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: out an emergency military aid bill this week, so we'll 237 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 3: get another one that comes over to us. And my 238 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 3: prediction is the Democrats won't back it. They don't want 239 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 3: to send military aid to Israel. And part of the 240 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: problem is they've got a crisis in their caucus. And 241 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,599 Speaker 3: their crisis is that the radicals, the teleibs and omars, 242 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 3: they more and more represent the mainstream of the Democrat Party. 243 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 3: And so Schumer is terrified of Michigan, Biden is terrified 244 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: of Michigan. They're terrified of the radicals, and so they 245 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 3: may put out statements, but remember this is the same 246 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer that not long ago stood on the Senate 247 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 3: floor and demanded that Israel's elected Prime minister be thrown 248 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: out of office. He decided that Israel, alone, among all 249 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,200 Speaker 3: our allies, was not allowed to elect their leaders every 250 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,440 Speaker 3: other country. You know, Schumer hasn't called for the leader 251 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: of Iran to step down. He hasn't called for the 252 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 3: leader of Hamas or China, or Rushier of Venezuela or 253 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 3: North Korea. If you're an enemy of America, nope, Chuck 254 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: Schumer and the Democrats, they're giving you money. But if 255 00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 3: you're our ally, what will Schumer say? How dare you 256 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 3: be in office? We need an appeaser. 257 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 4: Just like us. 258 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: You just mentioned I was going to go there that 259 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,240 Speaker 1: the Senate majority of leader said he should step down. 260 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of people in the media have 261 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: been really attacking him, saying that he is a warmonger, 262 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: that he's that he's a killer, that he should not 263 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: be the president, he should not be in charge. I 264 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: don't believe we're going to see any of that stop. 265 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: But at least in the Middle East right now and 266 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: specifically in Israel, how important is his leadership. 267 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: It's extraordinarily important. I will say. I'm blessed to know 268 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 3: Prime Minister Netanyah, who very well. I think he is 269 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 3: a remarkable man. When he came and addressed a joint 270 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: session of Congress, and that this was during the Obama administration, 271 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 3: it was on the verge of Obama pushing through the 272 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 3: Iran nuclear deal at the time, and this was a 273 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,200 Speaker 3: decade ago. Multiple Democrats boycotted the speech. They refused to 274 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 3: listen to him speak. The Democrats hatred for Benjamin Netanyah, 275 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 3: who is nothing new, and understand that when he was 276 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 3: re elected Prime Minister Joe Biden made clear he was 277 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: not welcome in the White House, that he would not 278 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 3: be invited in the White House. He could not come 279 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 3: to the White House. This is long before October seventh, 280 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 3: This is long before the war in Gaza. They hate 281 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 3: Natan Yaho, but understand they undermine every Israeli government. They 282 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: have done so from the very first days of this administration. 283 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 3: But net Yahoo, they have a particular loathing too, because 284 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: he actually understands the gravity of the threat he is facing. 285 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 3: He understands that when the Ayahtola says death to Israel, 286 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 3: he's not playing around. He actually means it. When he 287 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 3: says death to America. He's not playing around, he actually 288 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 3: means it. And listen, I've been blessed. In twelve years 289 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 3: in the Senate, I've met many world leaders. That's one 290 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: of the most incredible parts of the jobs. You get 291 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 3: to sit down with people that are leading our friends, 292 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: leading other countries, leading our competitors. There is no world 293 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 3: leader who is impressed me more. There's no world leader 294 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 3: who frankly is taking my breath away more than Benjamin 295 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 3: Netanyaho because he has a seriousness of purpose. He is 296 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 3: the only world leader for whom I have used the 297 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: adjective Churchillian. In my office in DC, I have three busts. 298 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 3: I have a bust of Ronald Reagan, I have a 299 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 3: bust of Churchill, and I have a bust of doctor 300 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 3: Martin Luther King Jr. And I have those three busts 301 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: because they are all men who had extraordinary vision. They 302 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: faced remarkable challenges. They saw a world that was better 303 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 3: than the world they were living in, and their vision 304 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 3: helped bring the world to a better place with extraordinary 305 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: courage and clarity. And I have to tell you, I 306 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 3: think net and Yah who has that same courage and clarity. 307 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 3: Now it is not my role to tell the people 308 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: of Israel who their prime minister should be. So when 309 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 3: net Yaho was prime minister, when I started in the Senate, 310 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 3: I dealt with him because he was the leader, the 311 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 3: elected leader of Israel. When the people of Israel elected 312 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 3: Enough Tolly Bettett, I dealt with him. Whomever the people 313 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 3: of Israel elect, I will deal with the elected leader. 314 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 3: But the people of Israel re elected Benjamin Netanyah who 315 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 3: and I respect the choice of the people of Israel. 316 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 3: There is an arrogance in Democrat foreign policy, but also 317 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 3: in some Republican foreign policy, that they think they can 318 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 3: meddle in the internal politics of foreign nations and especially 319 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 3: our friends and allies, that they can do what Chuck 320 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 3: Schumer did, which is tell the people of Israel Tis Tisk, 321 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 3: you have no business electing net Yah who throw him 322 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 3: out now? And they treat them like the voters, the 323 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 3: people of Israel like the red haired step children. It 324 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 3: is ridiculous. It's much like. Look, there have been long 325 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 3: debates in Washington about a two state solution, and that 326 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 3: they're Every Democrat says we must have a two state solution. 327 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 3: Many Republicans say we must have a two state solution. 328 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 3: My view on that is that's a decision for the 329 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:10,000 Speaker 3: people of Israel to make. They care acutely about their security. 330 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 3: If the people of Israel just decide that a two 331 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,480 Speaker 3: state solution is workable, I respect that decision. If they 332 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 3: decide it's not because the terrorists with whom they are dealing, 333 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: the Hamas and Hesbela, will not accept Israel's right to 334 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 3: exist and will wage war on them, I respect that 335 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: decision as well, and so I will say when it 336 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 3: comes to Prime Minister net and Yahoo, it's the choice 337 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 3: of the people of Israel that he should be their leader. 338 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 3: I respect their choice. But at the same time, I 339 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 3: think he is a leader who understands the seriousness of 340 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 3: these threats and is not cowed by the aggression of 341 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 3: Hamas or Hesbela, or Iran or anyone else. He is 342 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 3: bound and determined to protect the people of Israel. 343 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: As before, if you want to hear the rest of 344 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 1: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and 345 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: dow the podcast from earlier this week to hear the 346 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: entire thing. I want to get back to the big 347 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,919 Speaker 1: story number three of the week you may have missed. Finally, Senator, 348 00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: What exactly did Democrats do yesterday on impeachment? Just so 349 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: people understand how they pulled this off. 350 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 3: Well, at one pm yesterday we convened on the Senate floor. 351 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 3: This is pursuant to the Senate rules. When we enter impeachment. 352 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 3: We were all sworn in, and then we all signed 353 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 3: the oath book, one at a time. We signed the 354 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: oath Book. And what is supposed to happen next is 355 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 3: that we adopt a resolution laying out a trial schedule 356 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 3: of how the House managers are going to present their case. 357 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 3: But instead what happened is Chuck Schumer rose on a 358 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 3: constitutional point of order, and a constitutional point of order 359 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 3: as you stand and say, what is on the floor 360 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,359 Speaker 3: violates the constitution. And he raised a constitutional point of 361 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 3: order and he said at Article one, the first article 362 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 3: sent over by the House does not allege a high 363 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 3: crime or misdemeanor. And so what happened next is we 364 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 3: voted on whether Article one alleged a high crime or misdemeanor. 365 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,639 Speaker 3: High crime and misdemeanor is what you need to be 366 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 3: able to impeach someone. Now, Article one focused on Alejandro 367 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 3: Majorcus's defiance of federal law that that that that he 368 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 3: he was refusing to follow explicit and clear federal law, 369 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 3: federal law that that says that that illegal immigrants shall 370 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 3: be detained, that that illegal immigrants with criminal conviction shall 371 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 3: be detained and shall be deported, over and over again. 372 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 3: Immigration law is mandatory. It says shall shall, shall shall, 373 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 3: and he's defying it at a level it's never happened before. 374 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 3: It's not that he's bad at his job. It's that 375 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 3: he is utterly flouting and defiedying federal law. And that 376 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: that's the first article of impeachment. And they argued, well, 377 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,679 Speaker 3: actually they didn't argue. They just made a motion that 378 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 3: it's not a high crime or misdemeanor. They presented no argument, 379 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 3: They did not give a legal argument, they did not 380 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 3: write a brief, they did not present an argument. And 381 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 3: I was the person who raised the lead objection to that. Now, 382 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 3: under the impeachment rules, you can't debate on the Senate floor. 383 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 3: You're supposed to be silent because you're jurors. 384 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, why is that? But that makes sense 385 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: because you're juror not a lawyer. I guess presenting right. 386 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 3: Right, And so I made a motion for us to 387 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 3: move into executive session. If we move into executive session, 388 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 3: we throw the reporters out. We turned the TV cameras off. 389 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: But then we can debate it. And I said, look, 390 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 3: you're you're making a major legal point. You presented no argument, 391 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 3: and what you're saying is quality is fundamentally wrong. And 392 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 3: I'll tell you the amazing thing is the idea that 393 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 3: refusing to follow the law, defying the law is not 394 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 3: a high crime and misdemeanor is not impeachable. It is 395 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 3: contrary to the original understanding the Constitution. Joseph Story, who 396 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 3: was a Supreme Court justice, one of the leading constitutional 397 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 3: scholars right at the very beginning of our country, and 398 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 3: his commentaries in the Constitution are widely cited for understanding 399 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 3: what the founding generation believed the Constitution to mean. And 400 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: he talked about, he wrote at length about high crimes 401 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 3: and misdemeanors, and he gave lots of examples, including the 402 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 3: Lord Admiral refusing to protect the high seas, and he said, 403 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 3: that is a high crime or misdemeanor, and that is 404 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 3: virtually analogous, very closely analogous to the head of Homeland 405 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 3: Security refusing to secure the border. It's the same principle 406 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 3: of allowing lawless piracy to threat and an invade America. 407 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 3: So Joseph's story and the founding generation understood this to 408 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: be a high crime and misdemeanor. And amazingly enough, Ben 409 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,320 Speaker 3: the Biden Justice Department argued in front of the US 410 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 3: Supreme Court that impeachment was the remedy for the Biden 411 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 3: administration refusing to follow the law. So in Texas versus 412 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: the United States, Texas sued the Biden administration for refusing 413 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 3: to secure the border, and the Supreme Court ended up 414 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: agreeing with the Biden administration and saying, well, Texas can't 415 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:39,160 Speaker 3: sue and the Biden doj The Solicitor General for Biden argued, look, 416 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 3: if you have a cabinet member who's refusing to follow 417 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 3: the law, Congress has remedies, including impeachment, and so I 418 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 3: stood up and said listen. The Biden Department of Justice 419 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 3: argued last year this was impeachable. It didn't matter. Every 420 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 3: single Democrat, all of them. And by the way, Eve 421 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 3: in the so called moderates, Joe Manchin and Cirsten Cinema, 422 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,639 Speaker 3: they voted also Nope, not a high crimer misdemeanor. And 423 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 3: as a result, because they had to have a majority, 424 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 3: the point of order carried. They got fifty one votes 425 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: for it, and so the first article was thrown out, 426 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 3: and then they did it again on the second one. 427 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you the second one is even more astonishing. 428 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,399 Speaker 3: So as a result of the first vote, it is 429 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 3: now the position of Democrats that any cabinet member can 430 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 3: refuse to follow the law and defy the law and 431 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 3: utterly ignore the law, and you can't impeach him for it. 432 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 3: I mean, that's an astonishing and dangerous proposition in Democrat 433 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 3: looney land. But the second article of impeachment was for 434 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:49,199 Speaker 3: breach of trust, and it focused on majorcas repeatedly lying 435 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: to Congress under oath about what was happening at the border. 436 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 3: And again Chuck Schumer rose on a point of order 437 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 3: and said, this is not a high crime or misdemeanor. Now, 438 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 3: mind you there saying lying under oath to Congress is 439 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 3: not impeachable. It is a felony. It is a felony 440 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 3: that you can serve jail time for. And it's worth 441 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 3: remembering Bill Clinton was impeached for perjury. The House impeached 442 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,640 Speaker 3: him and what did the Senate do? They didn't throw 443 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 3: it out, they didn't dismiss it. The House managers presented 444 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 3: the case, the conducted a trial, and ultimately the Senate 445 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 3: acquitted him. But they did their duty to hold a trial. 446 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: And actually before that, there's someone I'm sure you've never 447 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 3: heard of, a guy named Walter Nixon. You know who 448 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 3: Walter Nixon was? 449 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: Who is that? 450 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 3: Walter Nixon was a federal judge. He was a federal 451 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 3: judge actually from Mississippi. You're an all miss grad. He 452 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 3: was a federal judge from Mississippi. But he was not 453 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 3: a good guy, and he was convicted of perjury before 454 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,959 Speaker 3: a grand jury. And you know what happened. The Congress 455 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 3: impeached him, the House impeached him, the Senate convicted him, 456 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 3: and he was removed as a federal judge for perjury. 457 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 3: So even though it was clear, there was clear precedent 458 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: that yes, perjury, lying under oath is a high crime 459 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 3: or misdemeanor, it is impeachable, every single Senate Democrat voted 460 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 3: that it's not a high crime or misdemeanor. So now apparently, 461 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 3: again in Democrat Wonderland, lying to Congress is AOK, and 462 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 3: understand this was not about the Constitution. They didn't care. 463 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 3: They had no arguments as to why the Constitution said this. 464 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 3: This was about power, and this was about protecting their 465 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 3: political backsides because they're terrified of the American people hearing 466 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 3: what is happening at the border, the fentanyl, the deaths, 467 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 3: the rapes, the children being abused. They do not want 468 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 3: that evidence before the American people. And I'll say this 469 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 3: is a final point to wrap up. Do you want 470 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: to see proof of why this is all political and 471 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: why the Democrats did what they did? Yes, you know what, 472 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 3: you know what, you know what ms you know what, 473 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 3: MSNBC and CNN covered all day yesterday Trump twenty four seven, 474 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: the Trump trial, Storey Daniels ooh smut lying processly like 475 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 3: apparently there was no impeachment proceeding in the Senate. Nothing happened, 476 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 3: there's no border crisis. The only thing they would cover 477 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 3: is is the attack on Trump. 478 00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Center, 479 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to dial 480 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,479 Speaker 1: with my podcast and you can listen to my podcast 481 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: every other day.
